He said devices and described their limited use. Baird explained that the church was retaining its tax exempt status in violation of a federal law, which states that lobbyists must forfeit their tax exempt status. The Sierra Club which lobbied for clean air was denied its tax exempt status. Yet, said Baird, the Roman Catholic Church has not lost its exemption, for actively lobbying against the existing abortion law. Baird's announcement came in a speech to Trinity students on abortion, con- traception, and church intervention Thursday, night in the Washington Room. His appearance was an 150th Anniversary event, sponsered by TWO and the Mather Hall Board of Governors. ,«f Baird gave up a career in birth control pharmaceutical manufacturing to fight for women's rights for , abortion and birth control.

Gold said the program does not include courses scheduled this year, but he added, however, that it does offer some "very good" course experiments, a community Affairs and Open Semester Program and flexibility to permit students to pursue a variety of urban and environmental in- terests. In addition, the program draws on related courses in biology, chemistry, economics, engineering, mathematics, physics or political science. The title "Urban-Environmental" reflects the hope the two areas of Urban studies and environmental studies can successfully merge. According to Gold, the En- vironmental Studies summer committee, composed of Robert Brewer (biology), Francis Egan (economics), Edward Bobko (chemistry) and Gold (urban- environmental studies) as chairman, met during the summer.

Why does it seem necessary to some kind of lesser halflings. Simple items such as Tampax and feminist literature stress that over and over again? Because it is obvious Take women seriously, not because you are kind, were until recently nowhere to be found. It isn't that that people here at Trinity either do not believe that considerate, and condescending, but because women these items are so crucial to the very survival of females are actually complete human beings or do not have as much right to actualize their potentials, and women, but the lack of these items here, is indicative of understand what it means to view someone as a full the respect due to pnyone who does.

It is reality that all of us (both men and women) are subject to coercion and exploitation, and locking us up at night does little to educate us to, and eliminate, that coer- cion. For each time the gates are open the realities of coercion and discrimination are there unchanged. Mr. Cherniak seems to be concerned for our well- being much as the benevolent slaveowner is concerned for his darkies. But we are not sheltered, unexposed children, Mr. Chernaik, Trinity College is not the first and only place in which we have encountered male sexual exploitation, as any woman on campus would be able to attest. , We are in the process of becoming mature adults- just as the male students are in the process of becoming mature adults. We therefore expect equal educational opportunities so that we may complete this process. It is the iack of demonstration of such com- mittment, and perhaps the very lack of a committment itself on the part of the College and those within it to the principle that women are worthy of equal respect and consideration that leads to the unequal education provided, If the College is sincere in its commitment to educate women on an equal basis with men, how can it subject those women to a discriminatory admissions quota? How can it fail to recognize the routine health care necessary for women and not obtainable here? How can it justify allowing only short term contracts to women on the faculty? How can it tolerate sexist at- titudes and practices on the part of its faculty? Why do these questions continually go unanswered? In this respect we will continue to be educated badly, until such a time whenthe commitment to educate women is demonstrated in a sincere and concrete way. - From The Right— —-——— ;. /';;:•> Concerning Organizational Gaiety By Steven Chernaik "invoked for them, because their beautiful party was The problem, of course, is not homosexuality: AH ladies with hairy legs, and black organizations'have destroyed by some insensitive blockheads from the definable segments of American society have their their apologists for police murders, so then has the gay straight world.

Art Equal Opportunity Employer; Tel. 6280954 An Open Letter to the Trinity Community In 1952 Dick Rittenband was a political activist at the University of Pennsylvania. He participated in the historic election between Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adlai E. Stevensen. Now twenty years later, Dick Rittenband seeks the office of Congress. The intervening years have heightened his idealism and determination * that every American should have a better life in a peaceful, and J democratic society. Running as a Republican in a district overwhelmingly Democratic, ,'.'•'. Dick Rittenband is waging a courageous and uphill fight for election. Mr. Rittenband's opponent, William Cotter, was the Connecticut Insurance Commissioner in December of 1969. At that time he had within his hands the power to grant or deny the ITT-Hartford Fire merger. Mr. Cotter denied it. In May of 1970 Mr. Cotter reversed himself and granted the merger-an action that created the largest corporate merger in the history of the world. Two months later Mr. Cotter was running for Congress. To this day Mr. Cotter has never explained the reasons for his abrupt reversal. The Securities and Exchange Commission is still investigating 5 Mr. Cotter's role in the six-billion dollar merger and the stock tran- sactions surrounding it. The SEC has refused to clear Mr. Cotter despite his request to do so. Dick Rittenband believes that the granting of such ecomonic power, such, vast control over our society, to large conglomerates like ITT is bad for America. When Hartford Fir's assets are depleted to finance ITT's world-wide operations (such as the fomenting of revolution in Chile), this merger will prove to be bad for Hartford as well. Bill Cotter used poor judgment in granting Ahe merger. He acted politically. He voted for the special interests and the conglomerates. 1 '. You may disagree with Dick Rittenband on some of his foreign policy * positions, but despite this disagreement his life-style has been one of unquestioned integrity. If elected to Congress he will work for all citizens, not conglomerates and special interests.
