Welcome to Kaleidoscope's super-special holiday skinny issue. It's like this: we also dig massive Xmas food orgies and insane New Year's parties and seeing friends we haven't seen in a year and tasting things we haven't tasted in a year and doing things we haven't done in a year, which is the reason this issue is thinner than usual. But we did try to do a good thing; we think you'll like this issue; at any rate, you're getting your money's worth, as usual, and the next issue will be back to a full twenty-four pages.
Thanks to everyone who, in the past month or so, sent us greetings, cheer, food, money, dope, love and kindnesses. . may you all have nothing but good dreams.
And to those who are concerned about the future of Ka leidoscope: it's looking good, gang.
Coming: in the next issue: pages and pages of good things you won't want to miss, plus a few things you may not dig all that much, but-goshl - you can't please all the people all the time. (And I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours.)

Milwaukee f«*LElDOSCOPE January 3 - 16, 1969'\ PAGt 5 Academia in By Allen Young Rebellion "We're engaged in counter-guerrilla warfare on our campuses," sai d University of California President Charles J. Hitch to an audience of lawmakers in Hawaii recently. "This is not just the hijinks of overenthusiastic students. This is in surrection. Organized society cannot back down without giving up our rights," said California Governor Ronald Reagan. "There has had to be an escalation on this campus," said San Fran cisco State College President S.I. Hayakawa. The Californians in effect were speaking for establishment political and educational leaders from Coast to Coast. America's campuses are in full-scale rebellion. And no wonder the terms are military! As students reject the orderly picketlines and neat mass arrests vaguely reminiscent of sheep farms and concentration camps, and as adminis trators rely on the use of police repression, so the terms of rebellion change• The halls and quadrangles of academe naw echo with the sounds of sit-ins, building occupations, strikes, sanctuaries, and disruptions of many kinds. By far the most significant development of the current academic year has been the initiative taken by black students to force universities to adopt new policies on black admissions, financial aid and curriculum. At San Francisco State College, the Black Student Union, in alliance with the brown/yellow Third World Liberation Front and Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), has led a militant strike, now well into its second month. Thousands of students have participated in strike marches and a majority refuse to go to classes. Overwhelming police power has been brought to the campus, at the initiative of President Hayakawa. While there have been no mass ar rests, dozens of students including many leaders, have been arrested. There are various felony charges, including assault and inciting to riot. At San Francisco State, the students are seeking art autonomous black studies department, and have made many other demands concern ing the status and rights of minority-group students. Serious charges, including kidnapping, have also been levelled at another California campus where black students are pressing similar demands to end "institutional racism." At San Fernando Valley State, white and black students occupied a school administration building Nov. 4, but since then the repression has been overwhelming. Stu dents have responded chiefly by organizing base-building programs, such as teach-ins, political raps and cultural programs. There have also been two violent incidents —several windows were broken in the administration building the.week of Dec. 1 and the president's office was burned Dec. 8. At San Jose State College, about 70 miles down the peninsula from San Francisco, students showed their sympathy for S.F. State by settin-g off a pair of firebombs and starting fires in 30 wastebaskets. Demands similar to those at S.F. State have spurred a radical black movement at Cornell University. The Cornell blacks are seeking an autonomous college, with full occupancy and control of a building on the Ithaca, N.Y. campus. They want the newly-established Afro- American Institute to be open to black students only. In St. Louis, Mo., students at Washington University occupied an administration building. Thirty-five blacks barricaded themselves in the basement accounting office of the administration building to press for the dismissal of a campus cop who arrested and struck a black gra FAMily Doq DEACI duate student after a traffic violation.

Gleason Columbia Records is owned by CBS. It owns the Yankees and God knows what else. Its offices are at 51 West 52 Street in New York in a new skyscraper whose walls are already peeling and cracking. Right now it is the home of the revolution. Or almost. It is certainly spending more money promoting the Youth Revolution than one would think possible for a standard American cor porate enterprise. Columbia ads divide the world into "we" and "they," with the "we" including the longhairs, the youth and Columbia and the "they" in cluding anyone you want to include because you happen to be against him or he may be against you. The most recent of the Columbia ads, running in full page spreads in college papers and underground papers all over the country/ is the one which shows seven guys in a bare room with bars at one end. They are sitting on a bench. Standing around. One is crouched on the floor rolling what I, in a charitable moment, not wishing to infer that Columbia Records Inc., is advocating an illegal act, assume to be a standard cowboy cigaret with Bull Durham and white Zig Zag papers. You think it's something else? Smile, when you say that, Padnuh. Some of the guys are listening to a phonograph via earphones and the caption on the layout is BUT THE MAN CAN'T BUST OUR MUSIC. Well, padnuh, I don't know, I just don't know. The name of the game, seen from one point of view, is steal the rhetoric of the revo lution like the poverty program stole the organizers. It is hard to think of revolution being advocated from the architectural prize of 51 West 52 Street, from the record company which withdrew Bob Dy lan's John Birch lines. But the times they are a-changin' and this may be part of the change. On the other hand, I am inclined to think only that there's money in revolution and Columbia is smart. "The only legal trip you can take," it says under the picture of a Terry Riley cover. They gotta be kidding. But no, maybe they aren't kidding, only smart. Is there that much to be made from revolution? Marx sells in paper back like the Daily Worker never did. Marcuse sells in paperback in quantities sufficient to frighten those fearful of the power of the young. No, the more I think of it the more I am convinced that it is only that Columbia is smart and smells money. And it only proves what we know already about America, even if we sometimes find it hard to spell out in words. In this society, if you can make enough money out of it you can go a long way towards making it legal. If American Tobacco had de cided to market pot in the mid-thirties and saw how it would sell from a sampling, it would never have been made illegal. And the day they do decide the possibilities of profit make it worth while enough, the wheels will start turning to make it legal again. Remember J. Edgar Hoover said that the primary thing was lawnorder; justice was inci dental . Lawnorder means good business and j usti ce sometimes does not. When it becomes good business, it will become legal. Lenny Bruce's bit about the lawyers who smoke grass becoming judges Will help and so will a number of senators' sons busted. But basically it will be economic. Back to Columbia and its rock revolution rhetoric. I am mistrustful. I doubt. This is CBS. This is the Yankees and long hair and side burns are OUT for professional ballplayers, the sports pages say. But then again it was Columbia who let Bob Dylan define in song the im plications of that advertisement, the bars, the music, the long hair, the rolling of the joint in the joint and the endless sense of waiting. Didn't Dylan sing of the Chimes of Freedom tolling "for the lonesome- hearted lovers with too personal a tale an' for each unharmful gentle soul misplaced inside a jail..." I like that, it makes me think that Columbia, out there on the tube and in the big tall building is worried about us all and on our side, it's nice to have a big corporation on your side with its ad agency and its budget. Gives you a sense of powjr. But I really wonder. If the revolution means what it says it means, it is aimed at the protection of the artist from the exploitation of the . machine and the corporation; it is aimed at the personalization of life and against the machine; it is aimed at making human values more im portant than property values and human rights more Important than property rights.

He had a rare ability to head off trouble and turn bad scenes the Ohio Express had pulled out music Tor a giant production num different, for a while. into good ones. The atmosphere was unhassled, and many patrons came in to sit quietly and play chess, to drink imported wine at reasonable prices or just to rap. The old Wayside had certain qualities that went to establish a sense of tradition that was respected by all. One of the oldest traditions at Barney's Wayside Inn was a canister for Boy's Town. .Boy's Town was Barney's favorite charity, and his place netted Boy's Town hun dreds of dollars a year. It was an unofficial rule that all loose pen nies on the bar went into the canister. Barney believed that a pen ny in the right place could help. Often however, five and ten dollar bills could be seen in the kitty. An old customer told us that when Barney and a customer had a hassle over a bill, the argument was settled by giving the money to Father Flannagan and his boys. Another tradition at the Wayside, and a folk hero in his own right, is Johnny the flower man. Johnny sold and still sells flowers down town and at various events around Milwaukee. Johnny was one of Barney's best friends and a regular at the Wayside. Johnny, always with a smile and with his impressive handle bar mustache, could be seen playing the bones to the tune of "Busy Bar Rag." Johnny was responsible for making the Wayside one of the few places in town where almost every chick in sight had a rose or carnation. Johnny has been selling flowers for 36 years. He likes the life, and feels, "free from the factory." Johnny like Barney, is a free spirit. There were other traditions at the old Wayside. Every Saturday night Barney gave out free flowers to all the women, and usually with the flower went a kiss. Barney also had the most unique juke box around. It was heavy with Dixie Land and Blues, and even had Sym phonic Music. Often, however, the box was muted to facilitate rap ping. The physical appearance of the Wayside was unique in itself. The long bar and tables were made of rough, dark wood, and the walls were covered with pictures and photographs, most of which were pain ted by friends of Barney. Barney was especially proud of one photo graph he had. It was a picture of former Mayor Carl Zejdler, who was killed during the Second World War. It was one of the few pic tures of Zeidler around. The bar itself was brightly lit, and the people there liked it that way, for it made for a lively time—none of this subdued 'cocktail lounge* phony atmosphere. Barney also had a collection of Medieval. We still sell the greatest sandwiches you've ever eaten, but now you don't need an Indian Scout to find us.
