'one-sided?’

No. the front wheel of this

to discourage thieves. After all,

how obvious would it be if
someone was seen carting off a

LEXINGTON. Ky. The organizer of a
course in pornography says he's having a
hard time finding speakers to side against
smut.

Dr. Wayne Davis, a biology professor at
the University of Kentucky. organized the
class following the recent Supreme (‘ourt
ruling that gave communities the right to
determine for themselves what is obscene
and what is not.

“Before that decision we had con-
stitutional protection for those who wanted
it.“ Davis said. “But now commissions
and local citizens are making decisions on
what can he published.

"It‘s important that people study it and
be able to give informed opinions." he
said.

Davis' course “Hard t‘ore Por-
nography.” is offered through liK‘s Free
l'niversity.

The course description promises: "Open
discussions of closed topics; penetrating
insights into socially redeeming values;
the laws. the first amendment; is porn
hurtful? Are restrictions good or bad?
speakers for both sides. and field trips to
theatres and bookstores.”

So far Davis has been able to secure only
one speaker opposed to pornography. a
gentleman he describes as “the local anti-
porn crusader."

CED plan would place
burden on students

liistitutions of higher learning. both private and state-
supported. have for several years laced a financial crisis.

But a recommendation by the Committee for Economic
Development iCEDt would lift the yoke from colleges and
place it where CED feels it should be—on the shoulders of
college students.

CED recommends tuition at state universities be
raised from an average of $413 to $996. while state college
fees would climb from $309 to $803 on the average.

The increases. according to the CED report. would make
students pay for half the’educational load. where students
now pay for approximately one-fifth of educational costs.

This action was favored although. as one national student
lobby spokesman indicated. tuition fees are already rising
at about twice the rate of inflation.

Private colleges. espeCially beseiged by higher costs.
have pleaded with state-supported schools to raise tuition to
allow competition between the two sectors. The tuition gap
between state and private schools in constantly growing. a
trend which makes it almost impossible for private schools
to enroll enough students to keep the doors open.

After being lambasted for its proposal. CED said it would
also favor an increase in student loans.

So what. CED‘? Whether students have to pay high tuition.
or higher taxes to finance loans. the entire program is going
to cost students a bundle.

Students are the integral part of college life. Without
them colleges would not exist. Students allow a college , like
UK. to expand into areas of research and development.
Findings in these areas can be of tremendous value to the
entire state. not justuniversity students. A death blow to
student wallets will undoubtedly affect other university
programs. perhaps even to the point of destroying research
projects.

It is not the responsibility of state universities to insure
the longevity of private institutions. The law of supply and
demand governs whether a private college will remain in
business. These schools are restrictive by their very nature.
Therefore. why should taxes from the pockets of people who
don‘t stand a chance of entrance at these school be used to

keep these institutions alive?

Instead. private schools must be made to survive on
their merits: small classes. more personal environment.
and with funding from grants or endowments.

It doesn't make sense to aid private schools at the ex-
pense of thousands of state university students.

Productions have signed him as host of a
TV variety special during which Ali is
supposed to sing and dance for us. You
know a boxer is washed up when he has to
try vaudeville.

Howard Cosell spoke the requiem for
this heavyweight the other day on the TV
replay of his fight with Ken Norton: “To
anybody watching Muhammad Ali tonight
it must be obvious he is no longer a great
fighter ..... but he lost the best three and a
half years of his life ..... a man who stood up
to the government."

()thers. of course. have lost some of their
best years by going with the government.
llad Willie Mays not had to surrender two
years to the Army he probably would have
overtaken Babe Ruth's home-run record
long before Hank Aaron actually does it.
There‘s no telling how many baseball
records would have fallen to Ted Williams,
the best hitter of this epoch. if he had not
played out five of his topmost years flying
a lighter plane.

Ilt).\'t)lt \BHI MEN. brave men. but Ali
is the closest we‘ve come to having an
American Cyrano de Bergerac. The
lighter who could not be hit. the fighter
who disposed of his opponents with rhyme
like Cyrano. Ali in sport and in life cut a
figure ol such virtuosity as to dllll out the
description of him as a mere superstar.

i‘hamberlain. Joe Namath. they are super-
stars. athletes who combine superlative

which catches our attention. but none of
them have done so as Ali has.

.\'one of them have dared our disfavor as
Ali did. refusing induction in the name of
peace and that uncertified. heretical
religion of maverick blacks. Cyrano defied
the authorities. too. and also set himself up
lor the time when age had taken the power
ol his blade from him and he could be laid
low by bouncers and thugs.

In the end Ali was upheld by the law

punished anyway. For better than three

wouldn't let him leave the country to fight

but two A credible record for a good
lighter. but his preeminent skill was gone
and if you're Cyrano. you can‘t lose.

Ali is not the first person in America to
discover that the price of losing a political
argument is universal blacklisting. We did
it with many of the Communists in the
1950's. it wasn't enough to put them out of
their government positions-~those few
who had them or put them in jail; we had
to do our best to see that they couldn‘t get
work. They suffered a double-jeopardy
punishment from the courts and society at
large.

Now it appears we are fixing to the same
with the Watergate defendants. Judge
Sirica has told James McCord and Jeb
Magruder that they may not earn a living
by giving lectures. There is small irony
there. These men stand under sentence of
the court for. in effect. conspiring to
deprive us of our political rights. and we
punish them by taking away their right of
free speech.

IT‘S .\l.l AND TIIE Communists all over
again. another case of double jeopardy.
They are to be sentenced for what they did
wrong. and in addition they are to be made
to go begging in the streets. As an added
bonus their wives and children, who have
been accused of nothing. are to suffer the
loss of the breadwinner so that the rest of
us can get relief from our vindictive urges.

In all likelihood a lot of other people will
be convicted as a result of the Watergate
scandals. We could have as many
disgraced Nixonites to badger. bully. and
blackmail as we once had Communists. If
John Mitchell is convicted, think of what
lun it will be to be a member of the tor-
menting mob chasing him around the
streets. If we‘re lucky. there‘ll be special
TV shorts on the man. his pride and power
broken. without money or friends. living in
a Manhattan flophouse having to report on
alternate days to his parole officer and his
social worker.

At the last Ali fight. the TV cameras
showed Frank Sinatra in the ex-champ's
corner rooting him on. Where was Frank

clining national resource. We don’t
grow up together as we once did, and
we change addresses so often that
really knowing another person, and
being known, is nearly impossible.

Intimacy is a hard notion to pin
down. Like a good orgasm, we know
it when we feel it, but find that feeling
difficult to put into words. The best
definition I know of is by C. A. Alex-
ander. an architect and planner, who
calls intimate contact “that close con-
tact between two individuals in which
they reveal themselves in all their
weakness, without fear.”

Such a relationship is rarezto-non-
existent for increasing numbers of us.
We move on so readily, and guard
our privacy so jealously, that sustained
human contact becomes almost im-
possible. Yet our thirst for intimacy
remains. so we seek the means to
get close quickly with someone we’ve
just met. Sex is an increasingly popu-
lar means.

The use of sex as a means for get- »-

ting close is contributing to a pro-
found shift in our sexual customs. Sex,
in or out of marriage, generally has
ratified an intimacy achieved else-
where. Now the process is reversed,
and the act of intercourse itself be-
comes a means for getting close. A
psychiatrist recently defended casual
intercourse by pointing out that people
relate more freely once the barrier of
sex is out of the way.

This seems a reasonable insight. It’s
certainly more difficult to keep up
other masks once you’ve taken off
your clothes. No matter how casual,
sharing the act of sex builds some kind
of bond between consenting parties,
if only because so much trauma usually
goes along with intercourse that the
shared experience can be as binding
as fighting a flood together, or sur-
viving a war.

Except: such intimacy is handily
disposable, as durable as an emptied
beer can. With luck the glow of a
good evening in bed together needn’t
be repeated too often, or ever—at least

with the same person. Such intense
sharing can be achieved seriatim. in
encounters which may be deep, but
are rarely lasting.

This sexual style is consistent with
our other emerging forms of intimacy.
As we grow ever more ingenious at
seeking closeness without entrapment,
handy disposable intimacy becomes
the norm. A weekend’s .love can be
found at an encounter group, on a
single’s cruise, or within the “family”
of a rock festival. Participatory theater
builds community for an evening. A
joint passed along the waiting line
beforehand bonds that group for
minutes.

My sister-in-law Julie says that
meeting people is one of the main
things she enjoys about hitchhiking
around Berkeley. I told her that I
used to resent it when people would
pick me up hitching just for someone
to listen, or talk. Often I preferred
to be quiet.

Julie looked puzzled, and asked.
“Well, how far were you traveling?”

“Sometimes hundreds of miles,” I
replied.

Her face brightened. “Oh. I see.
I’m usually just hitching around town.
Anything over ten blocks is a heavy
commitment."

ment of a new neighborhood, every
time you set up.”

It would seem odd. on the one hand.
that we seek intimacy in passing with
strangers. but it's really not hard to
understand. Most of us have had the
experience of pouring out our secrets
to someone we’ve just met—on a bus,
in a bar, as a wrong number—some-
one we expect never to see again
Such a confidant is fully trustworthy,
more so than a lasting friend. Since
we don’t expect to meet again. and
probably haven’t even shared names,
we can‘t do each other in. Our secrets
are safe.

1 attended a swingers’ dinner-dance

in New York once. and the oddest

sensation was to be sharing an eve-
ning‘s chit-chat with couples who ex-
pected me to join them later in bed,
but who carefully guarded their last
name, occupations, home towns, and
all other such “personal" information.
Research on swingers has found them
deft at camouflaging their identities,
and often loath to swing too often
with the same couple for fear of “get-
ting too involved."

Yet group sex participants often re-,
port a real warmth and closeness
within their evening’s sexual com-
munity. and say they find swinging a
more real, more revealing, and “inti-
mate" setting than most.

Swinging, I think, is only a more
exaggerated version of our emerging
sexual ethic—not sex following inti-
macy, but sex as intimacy. And this
emerging ethic is only a reflection of
the larger tendency in our culture to
provide ways to get close without
commitment. Getting close to another
person isn‘t so scary as staying close.

Thoughts upon an unknown neighbor

By ANN I‘I “'(IIII.

THE NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

My neighbor died in a fire, in his
apartment, late Friday afternoon. No
body knows how it happened.

On my way home, I stopped at the
little superette to pick up some ice
cream for dessert. “Did you know that
man?" the woman who works there
asked.

“What man?"

“The man who died today. in your
building. There was a fire. They think
it was the air conditioner.”

Air conditioner? What was she talk-
ing about?

“He lived on the fifteenth floor,"
she said. “Came in here all the time.
Always so well-dressed." But she
didn't know his name. Shaken by the
news, I paid for the ice cream, but
forgot to take it.

Two police cars were parked in front
of my building. Otherwise, it looked
as if nothing had changed. The red
brick leviathan welcomed me home, as
always.

In the lobby, I met a neighbor. Was
it true? I asked him.

Yes. Yes. it was true. And he told
me the name of the man who died.

“I knew him,” I said. Yes, I must
have greeted him half a dozen times
in the nine years I'd lived here. on my
way in or out. But that was knowing
him, wasn't it, in high-rise parlance?

“What’s this about an air condi-
tioner?" I asked.

“Oh, that was the story at first.
Now they're saying he was smoking
and fell asleep.”

”In the afternoon?"

“Sure. A nap. It could happen. Who
knows? You can't find out anything."

The elevator smelled of smoke. I was
relieved to get inside my apartment.
I looked out the front windows and
saw the two patrol cars. How long
would they stay there? Would the
police ring everyone's bell to ask ques-
tions? I wondered.

After supper I was tired, and wanted
to leave the dishes until later. But
what if the police come? Can't make a
bad impression by having dishes in the
sink. Why did I always let such in-
consequentia clutter my thoughts!

In the hope of finding out more. I
turned on the ID o'clock news. Noth-
ing. The ll o'clock news. Still nothing.
The police cars left. came back. and
left again. apparently for good. Most
of my neighbors‘ windows were dark.

I wished I hadn't forgotten the ice
cream. I went to sleep.

The next day. the tragedy had a
firm grip on me. My appetite was
gone. That happens to me when I'm
upset. I drank two cups of coffee and
went out. hoping to run into a neigh-
bor. share a reaction, find out a little
more. I met a woman who's usually
in touch with what goes on in the
building. She'll have something to tell
me. I thought. “I'm not getting in-
volvcd." she said. Just like that.

Feeling sad, and restless. 'I decided
to go back home and paint my book-
shelves, something I'd been putting off.
I thought of Mama in “I Remember
Mama." When her youngest daughter,
Dagmar. was in the hospital, and
Mama wasn‘t allowed to visit. she
went home and scrubbed the kitchen
floor as it had never been scrubbed.
The other children urged her to stop
and rest. But Mama knew better. There
are times. she told them. when you
just have to scrub a floor. That was
how I felt.

later, on my way to the supermar-
ket. I met another neighbor. This one
felt like talking. She remembered the
man who died because of his generous
contributions, each year. to the charity
shc collected for. And she didn't think

he had a lot of money because they
said he was a teacher or a social
worker. Wouldn‘t it be nice. we
agreed. if e\ eryone in the building got
together and made a contribution in
his name. to send a child to camp. I
Wonder if we'll really do it.

In the supernmrkct. people were
making their weekend decisions:
strawberry or cherry-vanilla; two
pounds of chopped meat, or three. My
hcart wasn‘t in this. Rcd, white and
blue streamers still hung from the
ceiling. and thc festiw atmosphere bev
gan to grate on me. I bought only
three things, took them to the express
line. and got out of there fast.

Back in my lobby, neighbors were
talking of other things by now. Twen-
ty-four hours had gone by. Upstairs,
the woman next door came out of her
apartment as l was going into mine.
“Why don't you write something about
the fire?” she asked.

"I'd like to," I said. "but I really
don't know anything about the tire."

Or about the man who died—my
neighbor for nine years.

Two die in crowded
emergency room

By ERIC SHARP
.-\ssociated Press Writer

MIAMI. Fla—They sat in
wheel chairs in the crowded
emergency room, bare backs
exposed by hospital gowns and
dignity tattered by the admission
that they are too ill to go home
and too poor to go anywhere else.

They are a forgotten breed, and
when two of them died in their
wheel chairs last week at
Jackson Memorial Hospital’s
emergency room it was four
hours before any of the nurses
and physicians noticed.

'l‘llli DEATHS of Volton Jor-
dan. 60 and Clarence Brinson, 54,
spotlighted the plight of the poor
who are too sick to live alone and
not sick enough to be admitted to
the hospital. Jordan died of a
heart attack and Brinson of
chronic pulmonary disease as
they waited for space in a nursing
home.

The staff calls the indigents
boarders. They live in wheel
chairs. their days filled with
noise and their nights spent on
stretchers in treatment rooms.

But things are a bit brighter
now. A few months ago, the
emergency room housed about 30
boarders. But the county raised

its daily care payments from
$11.50 to $13.50 per patientand the
nursing homes will take them
now.

LINDA \‘It‘K. emergency
room head nurse, said Monday
morning‘s census of boarders
was 14.

“The social service agencies
are closed over the weekend, so
the boarder population builds
up." Miss Vick said. “We put
them in nursing and boarding
homes as fast as we can. By
Tuesday we‘ll probably be down
to four or five."

“Most of them don‘t need
hospitalization," she said. “They
just need daily care. But we don‘t
have. the facilities for that."

(HARLEY LOVE, 43, fell
Saturday and hurt his shoulder.
Policemen brought him to
Jackson.

“I feel pretty good, I think I’ll
get out of here soon," he said
Monday as attendants wheeled
emergency patients by on
stretchers. “These people here
the staff are about the nicest I've
ever met. They really treat me
good. I wish they could give me a
room. but I know they just don‘t
have none."

Agnew investigations
may end in three weeks

WASHINGTON — Federal
prosecutors are racing the
calendar to wind up their probe of
Spiro T. Agnew before statutes of
limitations run out on alleged
crimes for which ‘the vice
president is being investigated.

Legal arguments may be made
that the statutes on at least some
of the alleged crimes expire in as
little as three weeks, it was
learned Monday.

AGNEW lS under investigation
by a special federal grand jury in
Baltimore for possible violations
of bribery. extortion, tax and
conspiracy laws while governor
of Maryland.

L'nder federal law, prosecution
for bribery and extortion must be
initiated within five years of the
commission of the crime. After
five years, no legal action can be
taken. The statues of limitations
on tax evasion and tax fraud are
six years.

The statutes on conspiracy to
commit bribery of extortion are
five years; on conspiracy to
commit tax evasion or fraud. six
years.

()N OCT. 22. I968. the Maryland
State Board of Public Works held
its last major session before
Agnew left the office of governor.
At that session, seven major
engineering contracts were
awarded totalling more than
$5.6 million.

These contracts involved
construction of approaches to the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the
Baltimore Outer Harbor Tunnel,
the two major projects to be
financed out of a $220 million
bond issue.

All records involving these
contracts have been subpoenaed
by the Baltimore grand jury.

Slltil'l." 'l‘IIl-I l’ANl-Il. wish to
indict Agnew for extortion,
bribery or conspiracy to commit
either of those crimes in con-

nection with the Oct. 22, 1968
awards. Agnew's lawyers
reportedly are considering an
argument that the indictment
cannot be returned after Oct. 22,
t973—five years after the
meeting. sources close to the case
reported.

By that reasoning, however.
the prosecutors should have until
()ct. 22 of next year to pursue
allegations of violation of tax
laws. the sources said.

It is known that the prosecutors
in Baltimore are moving as
quickly as possible to present
evidence to the grand jury.

('Rl't‘lAI. 'l‘t) TIIAT effort was
the ruling last week by US. Dist.
(‘ourt Judge Walter E. Hoffman
that the grand jury investigation
may continue while Agnew‘s
lawyers and the Justice
Department battle in court over
the grand jury‘s constitutional

right to investigate a sitting vice
president.
In the meantime, Agnew was to

return here late Monday af-
ternoon from a weekend on the

. West Coast during which he made

the strongest statement in his
personal defense since be
disclosed Aug. 6 that he was
under investigation.

Agnew also attacked Asst.
Atty. Gen. Henry E. Petersen as
the source of a controversial
news leak about the in-
vestigation. On Monday. the
White House said Atty. Gen.
Elliot 1.. Richardson had assured
l’resident Nixon that Petersen

was not the source of the (‘BS
news report Sept. 22. That report
