[Alumni-chat] Final Words RE: Antioch College's "Final Days" Set To End June 2008 From A Frequently Outspoken and Noisy (Over The Years) Antioch Cassandra!

[YAZZ ALLEN]

Feb. 29, 08
   
  Happy Leap Year Day from Yazz (David Roger) Allen '66 (Email me directly at YazzAllen at Yahoo.Com):
   
  Here's my "Leap Year Day Statement" about the tragedy announced last week via AU BOT press release that Antioch's REALLY "final days" will come in June 2008!  Just what the AU BOT guys and gals stated LAST June 2007...how about that?  Some people NEVER change their minds or their ways, and the AU BOT folks are examples of note, and fame!
   
  Over the years, I have stated my personal objections to the mis-management and problems never solved or heeded, the bad and clearly corrupt Trustees at Antioch, and further detailed pointed criticisms regarding a VERY LONG laundry list of problems at Antioch that seemed to me to constitute a train wreck a'comin!
   
  I was right!  Everybody always said I was one of the smartest fellows they ever met, from before I arrived at Antioch at age 18 in 1962, and up to today, Leap Year Day, which marks the one month annivesary of my 64th birthday (been getting Social Security pension money and also Family Trust monthly money much bigger than SS money for more than a year,and "the livin' is easy," finally, I'm glad to say!......my ex-wife [an Antioch grad] can't grab inherited money because it's in trust set up to stop her greedy ways...she got a NEW rich boyfriend, soon to be her husband, I heard)..
   
  The closedown news is depressing.
   
  "I told you so," say I, and check out the wonderful beyond my words to praise it WWW.AntiRecord.Org Antioch College Ohio enthusiast/ watchdog website (est. 1998...the oldest one.......older, wiser, smarter, and run by better people than such as the Johnny-Come-Too-Lately Antioch College enthusiast/ watchdog websites such as, but not limited to WWW.TheAntiochPapers.Org and WWW.Antiochians.Org )
   
  For those who don't know (because they NEVER did their homework and didn't track trouble brewing at Antioch College Ohio until the national press announced the AU BOT slit the school's throat in June 2007), the original name of the WWW.AntiRecord.Org site was WWW.AntiochSucks.Com and the founder and still manager of the site, the wonderful beyond my ability to praise him Mr. Daniel D. "Yazz" Atlas '97 changed the name recently.
   
  Well, Dan "Yazz" Atlas '97 (different "Yazz" than David Roger Allen '66, the movie actor...see Yazz Allen's movie credits, life, resume, photos acting as US Senator from Maryland ["John Henry Howard..Frederalist Party at George Washington's first 1789 inauguration!]) should change the site name BACK to "Antioch Sucks" because it sure does!
   
  The proof is in the total and not a little ridiculous FAILURE of Antioch alumni to stop the gangster Antioch University Board Of Trustees led by Zillionare Art Zucker '55, and mentored by bull dyke of fame, Dr. Toni Murdock, "Chancellor" of "Antioch University".....heiress of Dr. Alan Guskin, former Antioch College president, and man of perfidy NEVER identified as a villain through the last year of talk talk talk talk on this website...even though Guskin IS that and more...truly the father of the power of the "tail to way the dog"...the ding-bat former President of "Antioch Seattle" getting power she got, and helping to do what she's done!
   
  Senile Mr. Art Zuker is a sucker for a pretty face, even a bull dyke face like football player sized Toni Murdock!
   
  Insulting words from David Roger Allen '66 (aka "Yazz Allen, '66" the SAG movie actor you can read all about on WWW.IMDb.Com..just used "Yazz Allen" as search terms on the sites home page, click "Go" for photos of Yazz in JOHN ADAMS [2008 HBO...first episode of the series is Sunday, March 16 at 8 PM and posters are in every post office in the USA, including YOURS showing Academy Award winner Paul Giamatti, JOHN ADAMS lead actor...Paul is the son of Bart Giamatti, youngest President in the history of Yale U., and Yale U. was my very very last Antioch College co-op job before my academic studies at Antioch were completed).
   
  Yes, folks, insulting words, but....I'm insulted Antioch is closing down.
   
  "I told you so" and if you don't believe me, visit WWW.Google.Com and use "David Allen Antioch College" and also "Yazz Allen Antioch College" for search terms and you will pull up many many dozens of articles I wrote about the coming (now accomplished for sure) train wreck at Antioch College Ohio...wrote it all for WWW.AntiochSucks.Com and the same site re-titled WWW.AntiRecord.Org. and ALL were sent to Google gladly and intentionally by the site founder/ manager, Dan Atlas '97, bless him.
   
  Right!
  
Well...as I promised (threatened?) ....a few (really!) final words before Antioch is sold by the AU BOT for space taken up by the NEW (watch for it coming) Yellow Springs Ohio USA WalMart Supercenter, bought with WalMart zillions which make WalMart currently the biggest USA company of all!
   
  I wrote a book review about WalMart and it's bad reputation for Amazon.Com and 35 OTHER book reviews....just go to WWW.Google.Com and input DAVID ROGER ALLEN AMAZON and you can read 'em all.  Add "WalMart" to the list of search terms, and the book review about what's wrong with WalMart and why it is bad for Amerika comes up alone!  Read it all.  It's good, if I do say so myself.
   
  I'd like to throw MORE rocks at the people who got control of the "Save Antioch" crusade...the "Official" (and always AU BOT friendly!) Antioch College Alumni Association and it's officers, and ALSO the richest people on the ACCC which will go down in infamy as the final failures of note regarding "why the helpers sent to help Antioch months before it closed down didn't do a good job and Antioch College Ohio closed down ANYWAY ...to make way for the new and wonderful...complete with grocery store part of WalMart..YSO WalMart SuperCentre...probably about #4576...almost 5000 WalMarts world wide these days..when WalMart closes its doors,  the shit will REALLY hit the fan, more so than is the case when Antioch College Ohio closes its pathetic doors in June 2008).
   
  First, the ACCC and the zillionaires sent to fight the zillionaires on the AU BOT:
   
  Lee Morgan '67.
   
  Heir to the Arhur Morgan mega-fortune and biggest single landlord , along with his wife, Victoria Neff Morgan '67, in Yellow Springs, Ohio, owner of the "Antioch Company," which used to be the Antioch Bookplate Company which befor that was the plain old "Antioch Press."  Lee's BIG money is real estate, land owner ship money he inherited.
   
  Lee was never bright during his undergrad days.  Not the guy to save Antioch or even get to be Community Manager, which he ran for often and lost often because he was clearly NO leader and clearly NOT BRIGHT.
  
Went to expensive Scattergood Prep School, Indiana, before Antioch and got in trouble.  I heard he got thrown out, but I could be wrong.
   
  Fast forward 40 plus years and LEE advances to the plate to "save Antioch" as a key ACCC member (due to his money...his big credential!) and screws it up.  Antioch closes ANYWAY!  Lee wasn't good enough to save it.  NO surprise to people who watched and knew Lee and the other Morgan heirs in YSO in the 1960's.
   
  Arthur E. Morgan was the LAST smart and competent Morgan. He married Lucy Griscom, rich but stupid, Antioch got a chapel built with Lucy's money, and religion returned to Antioch in the form of the Quaker Meeting House for the Yellow Springs Ohio Monthly Meeting on the Antioch College Ohio campus,  part of the Ohio Quaker Yearly Meeting!
   
  Lucy got Antioch religous.  Poor Arthur Morgan, stuck with Lucy, and those related to her..including Lee Morgan.  All like Lucy...rich, but stupid!
   
  Right!
   
  Well, folks, lets move on to ACCC superstar David Goodman '69, zillionaire inheritor of mega-Jewish money from NYC, now based in New Jersey, the brother of fallen martyr Andrew Goodman who got murdered along with Steve Schwerner's ('60) brother, Michael "Mickey" Schwerner.....see MISSISSIPPI BURNING movie which shows both Antioch connected white guys along with African American James Chaney getting murdered by red-necks in Mississippi and the bad guys getting caught by Gene Hackmand and Willem Dafoe!
   
  David Goodman '69, one of the rich ACCC guys like Lee Morgan who couldn't win the battle against the AU BOT, is ALSO an heir, ALSO somebody who didn't earn a dime of the huge money he controls.
  
Charming as hell..one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet..I was a guest in about 1965 at Dave Goodman's family apt. on the upper West Side in Manhattan (I was born in Manhattan myself), and saw the monster 14 room palace Dave Goodman came home to between Antioch College Ohio co-op jobs.  BIG MONEY went to both Dave and Lee.
  
But neither were bright.  Just born under a lucky star, and rich their whole lives.
  
THESE GUYS became key ACCC players and leaders..and the ACCC screwed it up which led to the press release last week from the AU BOT stating Antioch College Ohio is closing down in June 2008, which is/ was ALSO what the June 2007 press release the AU BOT put out said.  True both times!
  
The ACCC and it's rich but not very smart and able leaders?  Lost the battle!
   
  Lee Morgan and Dave Goodman are two of the reasons why...BIG money mixed with SMALL brains and administrative competence and intelligence....loses the battle every time!
   
  Don't know others on the ACCC but with Lee and Dave Goodman on the ACCC, I'd say the other ACCC members were in BIG TROUBLE, and the results are there for all to see.
   
  Well...final words about the Antioch College Alumni Association which promises/ pledges to "keep fighting!" 
   
  This is a direct quote from the Yellow Springs OHIO NEWS...the weekly newspaper in YSO which has covered all this....when the story of the Antioch College  Closedown is researched, archives of the YS NEWS will tell the story in detail of the final year Antioch lived before the June 2008 successful execution by Art Zucker, Toni Murdock and the renowned Antioch University Board Of Trustees, most ....all without exception,...turncoats regarding their Antioch College Alumni support status...all people Antiochians who love Antioch should and must hate (justifiably) forever, and never forgive!
   
  So...the YS NEWS states the Alumni Board and Association will "keep fighting."
   
  They fought a lot..nobody doubts that.  BUT....even though they fought hard, and should be commended for that, the didn't fight SMART!  So...they lost, and Antioch College Ohio lost.
  
Stupid people in high places.  Big tragedy which explains in a five word sentence why Antioch College died died died even though it should have lived, lived, lived...for another 155 years and more!
   
  OK, folks!  This is MORE "Cassandra" talk, and few have written more "Cassandra type paragraphs" bewailing the coming train wreck and end of Antioch College if things didn't change than your humble writer...David Roger Allen '66 aka Yazz Allen '66, the SAG Movie Actor and founder and manager of the Movie Actors' Co-op and editor of the 4x monthly Movie Actors' Co-op NEWS for mentoring of about 500 Mid-Atlantic USA Movie Actors!
   
  I have spoken!
   
  A lot of good it's done me!
   
  A lot of good it's done Antioch!
   
  I am smart, the ACCC and the Alumni Board were and are stupid..I was never consulted or invited to join either group.  Wasn't asked to help out, even though I knew things and had the talent others like Lee Morgan and Dave Goodman DIDN'T have to stop Art Zucker where he lives, to stop the whole BOT where they live, to stop bull dyke Toni Murdock, even though she outweighs me by at least 50 pounds, yet is shorter than I am (I am 6 feet tall and weigh 160 lbs).
   
  Sayonara Antioch!
  
It's been real!
  
Warmest wishes,
