Cherry Street next to Dempsey Hotel
(APC)—Coeds at Michigan State University struck back en mai
recently at Hank Kniskem, undergraduate, after he wrote a letter
the State News saying that women should not be allowed to "tak"
space" in colleges and Universities.
Asking a submission to “the glory of being a plain, old-fashii>n<
loving woman,” Kniskem had written: “Every time I look up from
book and see a girl in a thigh-high skirt and skin-tight sweater,
bleached hair, holding a half-burnt cigarette (that has not touched h
lips), as she casually gazes over the boys passing hy, I shake my !iq
at the feeble arguments which favor a cojlege education for woniei
Coeds ranging from freshman to married graduate students
sponded with a deluge of letters to the Stafr News. Even a few nu
joined the attack. . '
Many analyzed Kniskern's notives. One junior speculated that |
was "shot down for a date last weekend by your thigh-high skirt)
skin-tight sweatered, bleached blonde, and you had to blow off -m
steam.”
Cora Hendricks, classifying herself as “one of the none out of I
(Kniskern’s) mythical ten who graduated and then got married- -t
without even waiting the appropriate year or two first,” couldn't d<yi
whether Kniskem “had recently been jilted by a coed, had flunked
class in which a girl excelled, or just plain hated his mother.”
Her education, she continued, “has pot exactly gone down tl
kitchen sink. At present, it is helping my husband gain a Ph.D. degn
and even if it weren’t it has not been in vain, since I sincerely lx lie
an educated populace, male and female, is important. ...”
"What really distrubed you?" asked sophomore Carol Koch. “WV
you splashed by a bus? I feel sorry for a young lad whose interest ai
incentive to learn are stifled hv the lures of evil and seductive oudi
Sophomore Suzanne Thaler thought she summarized the views
many coeds when she asked, “What kind of a wife do you. want
Knickem, a dumb broad who has a neat red XK-E or one who
balance a budget and discuss intelligently with you the psychology
behavior and the Vietnam situation?” And from senior Barbara Mimlli
“Mr. Kniskem seems to be looking for a woman who will be no
than his housekeeper and bed partner.”
Senior Michael Shier wrote that Kniskem sounded "like a mi
who has lost a satin-edged security object.” Apparently seeing him*
as the Paul Revere of the onrush, Shier proclaimed, "Take arms, tal
arms, the women are coming!!!”
Twenty dormitory residents thanked Hank for his concern:
nice to know somebody really cares about us. We really didn’t kno
how much valuable time we were wasting here at college. But you i
we were led astray bv evil parents and counselors."
One coed, sophomore Paula Tillman, turned Knickern's att
around to demand the expulsion of the college male, Her reasouiq
“As the male sex was exposed to more and more education, it want
more and more idle ixiwer. In the 18th century men didn’t want
part of a machine age, but a hundred years later they wouldn't
up their push-button world. At one time they tiassed prohibition
a half century later they trample each other to be full-fledged membj
of Alcoholics Anonymous. ' '
“This can go on and on. Before you know it. men will not even wi

of the various aspects of them are
discussed by the participants.
Thus far the Upward Bounders
have had the op|x>rtunity of be
coming acquainted with such di
verse subjects as psychological
theory, as represented by the Bell
Telephone film "Gateways to the
Mjod,” Eugene O’Neill’s The Great
God Brown. Optical Art, inter
actions among people and the
“games they play" from a lecture
by Dr. Jean Hendricks, and a
filmed photography safari in
Africa showing nature in all of its
untouched and savage beauty.
To borrow a quote from the
French philosopher Montaigne, the
program is aimed not at producing
those with “brains stuffed with in
significant and unrelated facts,"
but rather at producing those with
“powers of reason, understanding
and above all a will to learn,” an
internal excitement spurring the
individual onward and upward.
The division of Upward Bound
here at Mercer (which is mV
dentally a part of a national
sponsored program) is ably st.iff
by the following people: Mr i
Hendricks, Director; Dr. Willii
Palmer, Associate Director; M
Mary Wilder. Communication Al
Coordinator; Mr. Don Bradl
Cultural Affairs Coordinator; M
Jean Zorn. General Project 0
ordinator: Mrs. LaCcnstance li
lor, Secretary; English -— Mr-e
Bond. Mrs. Sidney Moore. !
Jacob Beil, Miss Diana Dento
Math—Mr. Berry Schultheiss 1
Benny Stephens; French —
Clyde Hoover; Spanish—Miss Ji
Behrens; Psychology—Miss Nu
Harrison.
As Dr. Will Campbell so r
suggested, there should be on i
fort to change and ameliorate
people of our strife-tom ci.lt
instead of instituting ineffeoi
laws and rules declaring Superfia
equalties. Perhaps Upward Boi
will be a major step in the ameli
ration and actualization process
desperately needed here on I
Mercer campus and in the nati
and world in general.
