House passes wildlife land bill

WASHINGTON (AP( - The House
yesterday passed and sent to the Senate
a bill carving out 120 million acres of
Alaska for national parks, wilderness
areas and wildlife refuges, legislation
which environmentalists are calling the
conservation bill of the century.
And while the bill has President Car-
ter's top environmental priority, it is in-
tensely opposed by many development
interests, some large unions and most
of the officials of Alaskan state and
local government.
THE BILL passed 277-31. After the
vote, the bill's chief manager, Rep.

Perhaps the pedestal serves as a kind
of security for the building and its
inhabitants, a protection from the
student uprisings that were occuring at
the time the building was erected.
Maybe the windows are pinched and
impenetrable-looking because the
higher-ups wanted to insure against
any possible window smashing by
student rowdies.
Perhaps the entire administration
simply embarked on a grandoise ego
trip and decided to separate from and
raise themselves above the rest of the
University.
Who knows? But those who wonder
might agree with Marzolf, who says he
finds the structure one of the unusual he
has ever seen. "The Administration
Building is a peculiar building," he
sighs.

Morris Udall (D-Ariz.),urged Alaskans
to reflect on what he considered a
balanced bill serving conservationists
as well as mining, oil and timber in-
terests.
But Rep. Don Young, a Republican
and Alaska's sole House member, saw
the bill as "bad legislation . . . a
disaster to the state and the nation."
In one swoop, the bill would double
the size of the nation's national park
and wildlife refuge systems, adding

units often larger than states in the
Lower 48.
IN ITS FINAL House form, the bill
would create from about 120 million
acres of federal land in Alaska 10 new
national parks, additions to three
existing parks, 12 new wildlife refuge
and additions to four others.
Further portions of 22 rivers would be
preserved as part of the national wild
and scenic river system.
Of the 120 million acres, about 61
milion acres would be designated as

wilderness, off limits to major
development unless approved by future
sessions of Congress. Another four
million acres of national forest lands in
southeastern Alaska would be
designated as wilderness.
Young and other opponents conten-
ded that too much of his state's poten-
tial resource wealth was being set aside
or locked up to the detriment of Alaska
and the country's economic future.
SUNRISE SERVICE
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The first
Easter sunrise service in the United
States was celebrated in Bethlehem,
Pa., in 1741 by immigrants from the
Moravia section of Czechoslovakia, ac-
cording to Hallmark researcher Sally
Hopkins.
The famous sunrise service on Mount
Rubidoux in California was first held in
1909. Theodore Roosevelt and philan-
thropist Jacob Riis are reported to have
organized the event.
"Probably the most famous sunrise
service of all is held each year at the
Hollywood Bowl," says Ms. Hopkins.

LSA Building

LSA Building. While the museum was
a product of the stability of its pre-war
era, the LSA building is a product of
a postwar, pre-McCarthy era of uncer-
tainty and change.
"In the last thirty years architecture
has been a continual change," declared
Marzolf, indicating the realization of

the American people that things were
not going to remain as they had been.
"Modern architecture really caught
on after WWII," he said. After the war,
America developed its industry,
Americans began driving more
cars-"the idea was to do things in a
modern way."

"I think we are trying these days to
harmonize our buildings," says Kor-
man. "But we're not trying to tell an
architect his or her building must look
like the building next to it."
KORMAN stresses that an architect
is hired for his ability to create, not his
ability to conform. "His professional

talent is in the area of aesthetics,"
Korman says.
Of course, everybody on campus is
not satisfied with the collection of
aesthetic talents of architects through
the ages, but Korman points out
"everybody is concerned about quality
aesthetics on campus-within budgetal

elimination in April - and Kalki's band
of followers. Kalki comes to Madison
Square, Garden and is "murdered."
Then in April he reappears as Siva. the
Destroyer. "As Siva twisted and tur-
ned, leapt and whirled, the age of Kalki
(came) to its predicted end."
It turns out that Teddy unwittingly
poisoned the world's population with
deadly bacteria planted on her plane by
Kalki and his perfect masters. They
wanted to start a new race and chose
Teddy to come along because she had
made public an attempt to, in her own
words, "remove myself from the bio-
reproductive track or trap that nature
had created for me" by having an
operation to sterilize herself. Only
Kalki and his chosen Eve are to be
responsible for the suture of humanity.

a master of disguise and can therefore
confuse one twice as often as the rest of
them.
Nor does Vidal take any of it too
seriously himself: "There we were in
the Himalayas, Teddy Ottinger, Test
Pilot, rapping about Mike Wallace's
ratings with the ultimate avatar of the
god Vishnu. Blown was my mind."
Vidal takes the opportunity to inform
us that journalists don't listen to
anyone; men aren't to be trusted;
women, if they're sexy, can be reliable,
but women's books are trash; the en-

vironment is hot, but ecologists are
hypocrites; mass culture is beyond
hope, as are modern politics, literature,
and love.
He has fun with words (".. .and
married him, and was happy never af-
ter"; "I had a good cry. What, I won-
der, is a bad cry?"), and his sense of
the absurd in the 70s Americana is con-
veyed well. But his carefully con-
sidered characters are as those on "the
tube" he finds so distasteful; his
literary purpose is obscure. Vidal
displays his pessimistic view of the
current situation with a flourish, but

couldn't have given us in an essay.

"Styles change so with the times, that
it is hard to say if a building is good or
bad," says Korman.
And who knows? Maybe the buildings
that we enjoy today, that we consider of
far higher "aesthetic quality" than say,
the buildings of the 50s, will be viewed
by University goers in future years as
more atrocious than anything we have
on campus now. But there is one thing
we know-good or bad, we've come a
long way from the time of the Univer-
sity's original ten acres when a wooden
fence had to be erected to keep the
University's cows on the campus and
the city's cows off.

Events of recent weeks-The conviction of Armenian Physicist Yuri Orlov to 12
years of exile and hard labor, the arrest of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Andrei
Sakharov-prove that the Soviet government intends to squelch all self-
expression which is counter to official policy. We cannot stand idly by.
