In an early Massachusetts campaign

"WE LOST that campaign, but we
left the state completely organized,

After the amendment granting
women enfranchisement passed the
state legislatures in 1920, Luscomb
remained active.
She continued to work for women's
rights, but also fought for causes basic
to all people, including the civil rights
movement, and different stages of the
peace movement.
When a member of the audience
asked for Luscomb's advice on tactics
to be used to pass the ERA, the in-

don't know (what to do). I only know
this. If we don't get it passed by the

Redgrave speaks out
for PLO at Oscars

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Actress
Vanessa Redgrave, accepting an
Academy Award for her performance
in the film "Julia," said last night that
Jews around the world should be em-
barrassed about Israeli retaliation in
the Mideast. Redgrave added that she
considered herself to be anti-Zionist
rather than anti-Semitic.
Redgrave walked proudly to the
stage amid cheers from the audience.
she used the occasion to call opponents
of her Palestinian documentary film
"Zionisthoodlums." Her remark drew
gasps and some jeers from the theater
audience.
THE BRITISH actress thanked the
Academy voters for standing firm
against the uproar brought by the
Jewish Defense League over her film
which featured an interview with
Palestine Liberation Organization chief
Yasser Arafat.
Redgrave added: "I salute you and
you should be proud that in the last few
weeks you stood firm and refused to be
intimidated by the actions of the Zionist

hoodlums ... I pledge to you that I'll
continue to fight against anti-Semitism
and fascism."
Earlier, as Hollywoods' elite arrived
by limousine for the 50th Academy
Awards ceremony Monday night, the
waiting crowds included Jewish and
Arab protesters respectively denoun-
cing and praising Oscar nominee
Vanessa Redgrave.
"The people of Israel live," chanted
more than 100 members of the Jewish
Defense League as they burned an ef-
figy of Yassir Arafat, leader of the
Palestine Liberation Organization.
While the life-size effigy burned itself
out, a group of more than 100 Arabs,
about a dozen feet away but separated
from the Jewish group by two rows of
helmeted policemen, chanted "Long
live the PLO." A man wearing a Nazi
uniform claimed he and two com-
panions were attackedaand struck by
JDL members. The man, Allen Vin-
cent, who said he was a leader of the
National Socialist, WhiteWorker Party,
said another Nazi-uniformed man was
hit on the head and cut.

dope at a party. It worked out well."
Wilson reported, however, that a win-
dow was broken.
"THE WHOLE thing started in Sep-
tember when we were sitting around
and it was just like, 'Wouldn't it be
amazing if we ,could really do it',"
recalled MSA Vice-President for Per-
sonnel Irving Freeman. He said that he
has been in on the plans for the dope
purchase since they were first drawn.
Freeman said there was smoking until
4 a.m.
According to Steinberg, who said he
made the motion to allow Van Hoosen to
buy the supplies, the joints were
distributed between 10 p.m. and 12 a.m.
Steinberg agreed with Eibert that
"there was an'indication that if we kept
it in the rooms there wouldn't be any
trouble." Neither would reveal the Bur-
sley staff members who made the
assurance.
Bursley Director Tod Hanson first
said, "I found out about it late (yester-
day) afternoon," but Hanson added he
had "heard a few things earlier." When
asked what his action in response to te
party might be, he said, "Something
will happen, I'm sure." -
"THE BOARD of Governors is not a
University organization per se," said
Hanson. "They have a discretionary
power, and so far I've trusted them to
behave in a legal manner."
Hanson refused to describe the
specifics of Bursley drug policy beyond
the statement, "It is University
Housing policy."
One Board member, who asked not to
be identified, said, "Hanson will see
this (the party) as a direct slap in the
face of his policy, which wasn't the
plan."
VAN HOOSEN Resident Director
Susan McGee said that during the party
she saw no grass smoking in the halls.
"Personally, I don't knock on people's
doors," McGee added.
When asked what her typical respon-
se to Van Hoosen dope smoking is,
McGee would only say, "The Univer-
sity of Michigan doesn't condone the
use of drugs."
