Craven Hall is scheduled to be dedicated at 9:30am on M onday, A pril 19th. We assume that the dedication will take place beneath the big "William A . Craven H air sign at the front of the building, but of course, nobody tells us anything. Plan 9strongly encourages y ou to drop whatever y ou're doing (whether working, teaching or taking classes) and go. The Plan 9rumor mill says that Sen. Craven himself will be there! N o one said that he wasn't a brave man. This is an event that shouldn't be missed. Some students (and faculty and staff) are planning a protest of some sort based on Craven's comments about undocumented immigrants (as reported in the last issue of Plan 9). Sen. Craven and the administration of this university need to know just how many people are offended b y Craven's views, and the best way to d o so is to show up for the dedication. N ot invited? N o problem! ]ust cut out this pre-printed ticket and bring it to the dedication. T urn it in at the registration stand for two free tomatoes or a head of lettuce. O ne ticket per customer, please.

Published in 1953, it's as mean- ingful for us as if it had been written this morning. T he r ight k ind o f e ducation means the a wakening o f intelligence, the fostering o f a n integrated life, a nd o nly s uch education can create a new culture a nd a peaceful w orld; but t o b ring a bout this new k ind o f education, we must make a fresh start o n a n entirely different basis.

After a long period of apathy, students have begun not only to question but, having arrived at answers, to act on those answers.This is part of a growing understanding among many people in America that history has not ended and that a better society is possible. — Mario S a m,An End to History, December, 1964 One of the most distressingtasks of a university president is to pretend that the protest and outrage of each new generation of undergraduates is really fresh and meaningful.ln fact, it is one of the most predictable controversies that we know.The participants go through aritualof hackneyed complaints almost as ancient as academe while believing what is said is radical and new. — Clark Kerr, President of the University of California, 1964 In thefinesttradition of underground campus rags.

So, half of this page and a couple of movie reviews will be devoted to the people that m/grandfathers virtually exterminated. Now that we wasichus have nearly ruined the earth, when will we begin to see that aboriginal peoples around the world have always been more sane than we? For this, we exterminated them? I pray for our souls. The following is an excerpt from piaiY The Unsettling ofAmerica, by Wendell B< I have been groping for connections—that I think are indissoluble, though obscured by modern ambitions—between thespiritand the body, the body and other bodies, the body and the earth.
