pageant held this year last Friday For more photos turn to page nine.
Elections for various ASLM of¬
ficers and positions are this week,
with voting scheduled tomorrow,
May 4, through Friday, May 7. Stu¬

The elections were extended one
day (to include Tuesday) because
a number of business students are
scheduled to take a CPA exam that
will last from Wednesday until Fri¬
day.
Under the new ASLM Constitu¬
tion some new positions have been
created, and the responsibilities of
remaining offices have been
changed in some cases.
The race for ASLM Director has
drawn afield of five candidates:
Terry Adelmann, Susan Marx,
Randy Pritel, Rqn Slater, and Dar¬
ryl Tillrr&n.
The Director will be responsible
for the implementation, ad¬
ministration, and operation of all
ASLM services and programs.
He/she will serve as a liasipry
between the students and other
segments of the community.
Three students will be elected at
large to the Student Activities
Board, and these positions have
drawn a large field of candidates.
The SAB oversees the planning,
promotion and funding of campus
activities!
Six students have decided to run
for five positions on the newly-
created Parking Commission,
which will hear citation appeals
and formulate traffic and parking
policies.
One representative from each
college of the University will be
elected to the University Council,
which is an advisory group to the
President. Students will vote only
for candidates representing their
college.
The Loyolan has provided space
to all the candidates in all contests,

Student Affairs takes charge of
Women's Center; Hennessey resigns
by Bernard Sandalow
Citing lack of student interest in
the Women’s Center, Dr. Thomas
Quinlan; Vice-President for Stu¬
dent Affairs, has announced that
control of the Center will be as¬
sumed by his office.
The change developed out of a
proposal formulated by Sr. Renee
Harrangue, Provost, and Erin
Hennessey, Director of the
Women’s Center, to broaden the
appeal and effectiveness of the
center.
Hennessey has resigned as
Director. She said the reason for
her departure after serving as
Director for two years was, to
complete her doctoral dissertation
within the deadline assigned her
by USC.
Hennessey said, “If I had it to do
all over again, I don’t think I’d do
it differently. In terms of things
we’ve accomplished, we’ve pro¬
vided a commitment to humanistic
study, Christian feminism, an in¬
terdisciplinary commitment to
learning and creativity. I don’t feel
we’ve failed.?
Hennessey was named Director
of the then-fledgling Center in Sep¬
tember, J974. “I think many of the
things we were attempting to do
jirith the Women’s Center can
perhaps be continued, but under a
slightly different title or man¬
date,’’ she said.
The need for a different mandate
had become apparent, according
to Quinlan, because evidence in-
HipatpH the Center “has not been

reaching students that could most
profit from it.”
Hennessey said that for many
the very notion of a “Women’s
Center- has been a “turn-off.” In
her proposal, she said, “Since we
decided at the outset to create a
humanizing center with a purpose
emphasis, we thus departed from
the strictly political, somewhat
negative tactics . . . of more
classical, radical feminism. ”
She emphasized the success of
many of the Center’s programs,
and said she was happy about their
appeal to students. “But what we
were concerned about was an on¬
going involvement or commitment
to the Center.” She stated that the
“strident media image” of

“I would like to begin this state¬
ment by informing the public that I
wrote what I am about to say. it’s
what I feel I have never been
forced to say anything on any tape.
Nor have I been brainwashed,
drugged, tortured, hypnotized or in
any way confused,” said Patricia
Hearst. She went on to say that she
had “chosen to stay and fight”
with the Symbionese Liberation
Army, who had kidnapped her 63
days earlier, “for the freedom of
all oppressed people. ”
Wes Davis, speaking in St.
Robert’s Auditorium last Monday
night, stated that Patricia
Campbell Hearst was the victim of
the condition he calls the “flood
formula,” The condition was inad¬
vertantly discovered during the
experiments of the famed Russian
physiologist Ivan Pavlov. (Pavlov
found that dogs are capable of con¬
ditioned reflexes. )
A river flooded the kennels of the
dogs Pavlov was using in his ex¬
periments. The dogs were sub¬
merged in water up to their noses
for some thirty-six hours before
being rescued by one of Pavlov’s
assistants, Davis explained. The
assistant “stood ten, fifteen of
them up like mannequins . . .they
were totally transfixed,” he con¬
tinued.
He went on to stress that some of
Pavlov’s best-trained dogs had had
their “habitual training and condi¬
tioned reflexes totally ob¬
literated.”
Davis said that Patty Hearst was
stripped of her former beliefs and
morals and principles, and adopt¬
ed the thinking of her SLA captors
in much the same way. Just as
with the sleepless, unfed, and de¬
cidedly uncomfortable dogs were
effected, “there is sleep depriva¬
tion, food deprivation and chronic
discomfort” for any kidnap victim
while he or she is held. He further
said that these factors will “short-
circuit the higher central nervous
system.” And just as Pavlov’s
dogs were re-conditioned (and
could be re-conditioned), so
Patricia Hearst was made sug¬
gestible; suggestible enough to
call her father a “corporate liar,”
and her finance, Steve Weed, “a
sexist pig; ” suggestible enough to
fire weapons and take on new and
different lovers.
Davis said that Patty Hearst is
innocent, and that F. Lee Bailey and
Prosecutor Browning both willing¬
ly supressed evidence that would
prove it.
The methodolgy of the Hearst J
conditioning was Communist,
Davis said. He cited that in the
Gulag Archipelago by Alexander
Solzhenitsyn, thirty-one methods
of conditioning used by the Soviets
to “break” prisoners are given. Of
these, Davis contends, twenty
were used on Patricia Hearst.
Other evidence Davis provided
of Communist influence over the
SLA included exerpts from tests of
Communist thinkers, both Russian
and Chinese, in which the techni¬
que that was used on Hearst is out¬
lined, according to Davis. Also,,
SLA member Willie Wolfe (de¬
ceased) was reported to have
dressed in Chinese garb and ex-
