F r e s h m e n N o t Represented In N e x t Year's Council Freshmen,
You may or may not have noticed that no present freshmen-were nominated or ran for sophomore representative for next y e a r ' s University Council. As one of the freshmen representatives serving this year's Council, I saw a great need for continuing communication and hopeful cooperation between students, faculty and administration. I feel that we as sophomores next year will be placed at a great disadvantage if we are not represented on the Council. In order that we might still have a voice in the Council next year, a special election for sophomore representatives will be held next fall along with those elections for certain Student Assembly positions. I am interested in representing our class again next year, and I hope that some of you will also run for those positions open to us. If you have any questions, contact Rick Vaughn of myself.

We Need Help J
We almost didn't get an issue out this week.
The main reason is that we had very little to print.
And the reason this was true is because our staff has dwindled in number to a small handful of extremely overworked people.
In the three semesters I have worked on this paper, I have seen its quality increase drastically. This semester, it seems to me, more people read the Fiat than ever before. I presume that this is because it is enjoyable to read, and/or it reports the kinds of news that you're interested in reading. This makes whatever remains of the staff feel extremely good.
Unfortunately, if we want to continue at our present level of quality, let alone improve, we must get some more staff members somehow. We are well aware that this is not exactly the best time of year to look for interested students, but WE NEED YOU! If you are willing to put in just a very few short hours per week into reporting, typing, layout, graphics, photography, or anything else which can help us out, PLEASE, please, come to the staff meeting next Tuesday night, at 7:00 p.m. and let us know what you would like to do to help us out. If you cannot make it to the meeting, let one of the editors know.
Please, if some people don't help us out quickly, we're going to be in a lot of trouble and that will show drastically in the overall quality of the Fiat.
Try to find some time to help us out. . . . Dave Gruder
Letters to the Editors
Why Not Display Some Art?
Dear Editor,
Since Alfred University has one of the best art programs in the country, why don't we take pride in this fact and display some art? The Herrick Library is a fine example; there are places where huge portions of wall are left barren, giving the room a dismal look. Thousands of dollars are spent each year improving our campus-repairs, improvements, etc. This endeavor wouldn't cost the University one cent. I should think that art students would be proud of their work exhibited in different areas on campus. In the library, the walls of one whole room are made of cork siding that would enable easy hanging of paintings. I have taken people on tours of the campus and when we finished looking at the library they commented that it had a very "cold look." They were impressed by the artful work in our display cases upon entry, but after that... I would think that a little problem like this could pasily be taken care of. The staff of the library could easily decide on which paintings or artful works they wanted to display. Why don't we add a little spice to our campus and show everyone just how much talent we really have here?

M o r e Election Campaigning Dear Editor,
One thing I noticed while taking votes for Student Assembly officers is that many people would not vote because they didn't know the candidates. More people would have voted had they known or heard of the candidates. Next year there should be campaigning. There used to be.
Let' s make it a better election next year.

How About Another Sidewalk?
I was very pleased to notice upon arriving to campus after Spring Break, that the mud-way connecting the Campus Center to the Brifck had hardened to a crust of semi-fossilized footprints. I must say, it was a joy to see, and should be taken as living evidence that the Pedestrian Campus truly does exist here at Alfred.
Mr. Slack, isn't it obvious to you by now that the students are simply not going to refrain from blazing that mud path? It should be just as obvious to you as it is to me that that area of the Campus Center lawn is not exactly pretty to look at. Don't you suppose that it is about time to give in and build a walkway there?
Realizing that it is toward the end of the year and that, consequently, most of the Physical Plant's money is used up, I can understand the cries of "We can't do it now" that might come from your office. But, I can not accept them!
The Campus Center is a central spot on the campus, and it would seem to me that the prospective students that come to this campus >
will not be too favorably impressed by the mud sculptured landscaping in front of the Center.
Surely there is some way to procure some money so that this intolerable eyesore can be immediately and permanently removed from the campus!
Dave Gruder
If anyone has a Feb. 12 issue of the Fiat Lux, could you please bring it to the Fiat office or leave it at the Campus Center Desk. We need these copies desperately.
Fiat Editor Makes Mistake?
Dear Editor,
Sorry, but did you ever make a mistake in >
deciding that it was the University's fault that students are irritable and going stir crazy because they delayed vacation. You said that students can not go this long (10 weeks} without a break. If they are going stir crazy, it's their own fault - there a million things to get involved in on campus. And what about when they were in high school? Students always went from early January until the week before Easter and théy , had classes 6 or 7 hours a day, every day. Have students on our campus become so lazy and pampered that the poor things need a rest every six weeks? If they have, it's a sorry state of affairs but I don't think they have. My next point would be against any change of time for vacation because I prefer to have .less work left to come back to but all this is irrelevant. Last fall, the faculty voted on the time for Easter vacation and changed it to the week between March and April.
If you had done any research, your letter would not have rated publishing and that would have >
saved us the trouble of reading another unnecessary complaint letter.
Thank you Molly Rulon
Meeting on Academic Quality Discusses Advising, Evaluations, Half Courses
Advising, student evaluations, and half-courses were among the issues discussed at a meeting on April 12 at the home of Dr. Jay Barton, Vice-President of Academic Affairs at Alfred.
Present were all academic deans, as well as President Miles, Dr. Gene Odle, Vice-President for Student Affairs, and about fifteen students.' The meeting was the second between deans and students to discuss academic quality at Alfred,
Advising
The problem of advising seemed to be a prominent concern. Dean Taylor of the College of Liberal Arts pointed out that although students and faculty generally agree on the function of an advisor, the problem seems to lie in that faculty members are not always well informed and students do not make the necessary efforts to promote student-advisor interaction. In order to help inform advisors of requirements, an advisor's manual has been distributed this week to all faculty advisors. Next year, according to Dr. Will Miles, Dean of the College of Business Administration, there will also be a workshop on advising before the start of the fall semester and later in the year students will be given the opportunity to evaluate their advisors in terms ' o f such critereia as knowledge and record of
inidividual students' graduation requirement progress and availibility in terms of posted office hours. One point made by Dean Miles in this regard and vehemently seconded by President Miles w a s that many students make appointments with faculty members, often at the inconvenience of the faculty, member, and then fail to show up. Students should be reminded that not only the faculty member but they, too, have an
W obligation in helping to make the advising system effective.
Dean Barker of the School of Nursing mentioned her problem of a shortage of advisors due to off-campus faculty but said that the problem had been solved by bringing in someone one afternoon a week simply to act as an advisor.
This person is not a faculty member and is in no way involved in grading.
Student Evaluations
The effectiveness of student evaluations was also discussed; Dean Miles pointed out that although the questions were often criticized as
Foreign
Have a yen to see the world? How about Barcelona, Besancon, or England? Dean Butler has recently returned from those locations with the details of several excellent, diverse programs at foreign schools which are eager to accept Alfred students. In each case, the cost of the foreign schooling will be equal to or perhaps less - than the cost of Alfred education, not counting
the round trip air fare.
In Barcelona, the American College of Barcelona has a liberal arts curriculum. All courses (except those dealing with Spanish) are taught in English. Because the American College of Barcelona is a two year school, this program is open only to 1973-74 Liberal Arts sophomore^.
Students will live with Spanish-speaking Barcelona families who have been screened by college officials. The city of Barcelona is a major cultural and historical center: according to Dean ''Butler, the quality of the College faculty is very high. Students may enroll for either a full year or for one semester, but places are open only for students wishing tn enter in September Detailed [ information for this and all c o u r s e s is available at
ineffective measures of faculty performance, no one seems to have suggestions for improving them. In addition, in order to be accurate in evaluation an instructor, data must be collected over a period of time. Conflicts between the way students talk about a particular instructor and the actual evaluation he is given, also lead to administrative doubts regarding the effectiveness of the evaluations. The importance of not only student but faculty attitudes toward the questionnaire was emphasized, and perhaps the most effective way to improve the existing procedure is through mass communication of the importance of these questionnaires.
Attendance and Grading
Attitudes toward attendance policies varied;
in general they seemed to be dependent upon both the professor and the specific course.
Dean Taylor of the College of Liberal Arts expressed approval for the half course idea and said that a leveling off in both work load and ability of students to pace themselves to a 6-week course could be expected. Taylor also discussed the grading system, saying that the pass-fail system which is a t present somewhat of a shambles is being worked on. Another change presently being considered is changing from a
"plus"(§) system to a "minus" (-) system, since many grad schools drop the plus or the minus;
under the plus system, a B§ then becomes a B, while an A-, which is approximately equivalent to a B§, becomes an A. Dean Butler, who is in charge of Allenterm in addition to the graduate and summer schools and special programs, cited several changes in Allenterm grading practices which will make Allenterm requirements a little moie stringent.
General Comments
General comments on academic quality included Dean Taylor's statement that, contrary to rumor, faculty members were not released due to a lack of a Ph.D.: the general objective of the University is to improve the faculty ^nd although it is true that a PhD often makes an instructor better qualified, the degree is not an end in itself.
Deans Miles and Barker stressed the importance of the coupling of theory and practical application of subject matter; Dean Miles said,
"Students like practical courses where you learn
the Study Abroad office in Green Hall.
For art students, Dean Butler returned from England with information on Polytechnic of Wolverhampton and Polytechnic of Manchester.
Both school are very highly recommended. In each case, the quality of facilities and instruction is very high. Work is individualized and is on a research basis. At Manchester, a large city, and at Wolverhampton, near Wales, the school begins in October. However, students may use Alfred's calendar; the schools will accept student on a very individual time schedule. School-run hostels (dormitories) are available, but students may arrange private accomodations if they wish.
(Alfred faculty member Eric Hilton is familiar with the Polytechnic.) Many areas of study are availabe at Manchester and Wolverhampton: a few a r e textiles, photography, sculpture, ceramics, pottery. Dean Butler described both schools as "fabulous!"
Also in England, science and engineering students in glass and ceramics will be interested in the schools at Sheffield and Leeds. While neither school is «large, both have excellent
to do something rather than talk about something." Dean Barker commented that especially in light of the rapid technological advancements in the medical field, a theoretical background for nursing was as important as practice.
Interdepartmental problems were mentioned by Deans Barker and Lawrence. Nursing
¡students often seem to encounter difficulty in understanding material in Liberal Arts courses required for Nursing, especially in the fields of Psychology and Sociology. With regard to Liberal Arts students wishing to take Art courses, Dean Lawrence of the Ceramics School said the Ceramics School has attempted to accomodate as many of these students as is "logistically possible.
13 Alfredians Publish Ceramic Papers
Thirteen faculty members, graduate students and former students at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University are authors or co-authors of technical papers scheduled for delivery before the 75th annual convention of the American Ceramic Society April 29 through May 3 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The faculty members are Dr. James S. Reed, associate professor of ceramic engineering; Dr.
David Lewis III, a s s i s t a n t professor of engineering mechanics; Dr. Van Derek Frechette, professor of ceramic science; Dr. Harrie J.
Stevens Jr., assistant professor of glass science;
Dr. L. David Pye, assistant professor of glass science; Dr. Philip H. Crayton, associate professor of chemistry;, and Dr. Wayne E.
Brownell, professor of ceramic science.
The student co-authors are D. F. Porter, J. C.
Pulver, L. Lyke, C. L. Quackenbush and L. J.
Manfredo. Former students are R. C. DiLiddo and S. D. Jang.
Formal presentation of papers before the convention will be made by Reed, Lewis, Pulver, Lyke, Quackenbush, Brownell, McMann and Manfredo.
Fred C. McMann, a technical specialist at the Ceramics College, is the co-author of two papers scheduled for presentation to the convention.
research facilities. Both schools operate on three term systems; the first runs from October to Christmas, the second from January to Easter, and the third from Easter to mid-July. Students taking only the first term would return to Alfred lacking a few hours, which can be made up;
students taking the second and third terms would, return having a fe.w extra hours!
How's your French? The University of Besancon offers to Alfred students a Liberal Arts curiculum taught in French. There is, also, an Institute at which students may learn or improve their French. Besancon is a fascinating city, with old Roman arches and medieval houses still ;n use. According to Dean Butler, almost anybody would benefit from a semester or year at Besancon.
These programs are ones which are newly interested in Alfred students (one Alfred student is currently at Besancon.) Other programs which have in the past accepted Alfredians are also still open. Full details on studv abroad can be obtained from the study abroad office or from Dr.

Schools Eager to Accept Alfred Students
Studeht Evaluations Figure in Promotion and Tenure Decisions
Student evaluations of faculty performance have become a factor-although not the deciding factor-in promotion and tenure decisions at Alfred University.
The statement was made in a recent interview by Dr. James A. Taylor, dean of the University's largest unit, the College of Liberal Arts. It drew general support from the deans of the College of Ceramics, School of Business Administration and School of Nursing and Health, Care.
The administrative structure of each of the University"s undergraduate colleges and schools includes a promotion and tenure committee.
According to Taylor, the evaluation system appeared to be workable, and "we should stick with it." By next fall's promotion and tenure sessions, with five semesters' worth of student inputs, "we'll have a better feel for the evaluation of particular faculty members," he said.
But Taylor also said that the promotion and tenure committee of his college, at its series of meetings last November, used the system with
"caution." The committee members placed
"more trust in the professional inputs than in the student questionnaires," he declared.
Alfred University's Provisions of Faculty Appointment, which covers academic freedom, promotion, tenure and dismissal, mandates the student evaluation of all faculty members. The document also stipulates that the promotion and tenure committees of the various schools and colleges formally " c o n s i d e r " the student evaluations.
In carrying out the promotion-tenure provision as it applies to student evaluations, a punch-card questionnaire was developed by a faculty committee chaired by Dr. Robert W. Sloan, professor of mathematics. The data contained in the questionnaire was approved by the University faculty.
The questionnaire card rates instructors in a seven-point scale as to teaching ability, classroom attitude and general effectiveness. The student
evaluator provides crosschecks as to his own attitudes or biases by punching in data on cumulative index, class, and grade expectations.
Three semesters' worth of student evaluations- those for spring 1971 and the 1971-72 academic year-were considered at the November 1972 promotion and tenure meetings in the Liberal Arts College, Taylor said.
The fall 1972 semester's questionnaire cards were distributed after the committee had completed its work. The information from these and the spring 1973 semester questionnaires will be used at the tenure and promotion sessions next fall.
Taylor explained the time lag between the meeting of the promotion-tenure committee and the distribution of the fall semester's cards by saying evaluations could only properly be made at the very end of the semester.
He said that the Liberal Arts committee evaluated some 90 faculty members at its November 1972 sessions. "We looked at the student data in each of these cases, examining the inputs more carefully in those instances in which decisions on promotion and tenure had to be made," Taylor said.
The dean asserted that in no instance was the student evaluation the deciding factor in a faculty promotion or tenure decision. "In 95 per cent of the cases before us the student data supported inputs on faculty performance from other sources-from the department chairmen, the student affairs office, and the dean himself," he said.
Taylor concluded "tentatively" from his experience to date with the student evaluation p r o c e d u r e s that some of the d a t a is
"questionable." Some students, Taylor believes, do not take the questionnaire seriously. They indicate this by the nature of their responses, he said.
Also, said Taylor, he has discovered what he calls substantial fluctuations in the ratings given
Rochester Intern Program Still Open
A few positions are still open in the Rochester Urban Politics Intern Program. The program gives students the opportunity to take part in the urban politics at all levels of government and in many areas of interest; whether it be the Mayor's office, City Councilman, crime control director, / public relations or any other aspect of urban
government.
Students are placed in intern positions according to their individual interests, taking into account positions available. Through these positions, the intern will be able to better understand the operations of and perhaps reasons behind the actions of officials in urban politics.
Seminars and discussions with officials in areas outside of the intern's direct line of work will be held so that the student may get a feeling for the overall picture of urban political operations.
All students participating in the intern program will be officially enrolled in the summer school program. However, the six credit hours earned by participation in the program will be tuition free, and housing will also be provided at no charge. Students will be requested to finance their food, travel, and incidental expenses themselves. The program runs for six weeks from June 4 through July t3-
Four A.U. students partu ipntod in the intern program last summer, one working in the Democratic party h e a d q u a r t e r s in Rochester
Dean Fuleihan, a junior economics major, worked with the County Manager's office. The responsibilities of the County Manager's office include crime control coordination and systems analysis work.
Dean spent much of his time doing research for the Deputy County Manager's office in the area of systems analysis; checking usage of funds, and doing cost analysis deductions.
Dean has stated that after he had worked in the office for a while and had gotten to know the Deputy and County Manager, they grew to know him more and he was permitted to attend higher level meetings and discussions concerning the operations of the office and county. This gave him more opportunities to become familiar with the workings of the county officials.
Dean feels that not only did he come to learn a great deal about how the county operated and how efficient its administration was; he also came to form his own ideas about how the political structure should be run.
All in all, the Rochester Urban Politics Intern Program would seem to offer a challenging and interesting position in many areas of urban governmental operations. Anyone interested in applying for the program should see Mr. Gerald Pafmer in the Dept. of Sociology and Political Science. Final decisions will be made sometime in early May. so everyone interested is encourage to see Mr. Palmer soon,
the same faculty members in different semesters.
Part of these variations he ascribed to whether a course was required or elective. "A student forced to take a course sometimes vents his anger in the way he rates the instructor," Taylor said.
"Instructors in courses with small enrollments tend to receive better evaluations than their colleagues in large-enrollment courses. Students also tend to evaluate a course in their major field higher than other courses."
Taylor cited the extent of fluctuation as a major factor in the promotion-tenure committee's cautious approach to the system.
Questioned as to the evaluation tool's overall ^ utility, Taylor reiterated that the questionnaire results generally support other methods of faculty evaluation and have the add advantage of providing a pool of quantifiable information,
"If we can assume that students are taking the rating system seriously in the future, then it will be used seriously," he declared.
Advisory System Evaluated
The present faculty-student advising program was discussed on Monday, April 9 before the Middle States Evaluation Committee. Dean Odle X opened the meeting with the results of questionnaires filled out by faculty members and students concerning the present advising system.
Both students and faculty agreed on what the students' concerns are with respect to academic advice: in order of importance, they are help with major, help with graduation requirements, planning a schedule, academic problems, and career problems.
Joe Kern, co-chairman of the Student Assembly, ' said that faculty members should have both the desire and the training to make their job more professional. The advising system should not be relaxed and informal as the present system is.
Kern also complained that there wasn't anyone impartial to whom a student could go if he felt his advisor was inadequate.
In response, Dr. Bernstein said that to hire professionals or to become a school of professionals or to become a school of specialists would be to move toward largeness and impersonal service and away from the Alfred credo, "where students and faculty meet."
It was brought up that a more involved advisory system would demand time of the ^ faculty, especially those involved with Tract III.
For these faculty members p a r t i c u l a r l y , additional time spent on advising would be at the expense of class work time. It was also pointed out that in Tract III, the student will be free to pick his own advisors (the plan proposes each student have three advisors). The whole Tract III advising system seems to have been well worked out, although only about fifteen percent of the students will be involved.
It was suggested by the M.S.E. Committee that the University specify the-duties of an advisor.
Dr. Bernstein went on to suggest that the advising system be kept academic in nature. Bernstein contended that it should involve itself with neither the personal problems of the students nor career advising; those problems should be left to the counseling and placement centers.
Shortcomings in the advisory system were excused by Bernstein by the fact that the school is and has been changing; at present, there are s
four systems of requirements for graduation.
When this disorganization is amended, hopefully the advisory system will also become more organized.
Hume Contemptuous of "hob-nobbers and socializers f*
by Pamela A. Borey
"The country is in the hands of a group of people who have no regard at all for the right of the people to know what they are doing; and they have absolute contempt for the right of the press to try to find out."
This is the belief of investigative reporter Brit Hume, one of columnist Jack Anderson's army of rabble-rousing journalists. Hume feels that Anderson and a very few reporters like him are the only ones in the news media making any attempt at all to uncover that information which those in power would rather have hidden. He is particularly contemptuous of the majority of Washington political reporters who he feels are a
"timerous band of hob-nobbers and socializers, who wait with baited b r e a t h upon the pronouncements of the "whitey", however preposterous those pronouncements may be, and then rush them along to you immediately."
Those who do wish to secure and publish
¿information relevant to the public interest are being overwhelmed by attempts of intimidation and harassment by federal government organiza- tions.
Investigations, and at times, trumped-up charges have been levied against investigative reporters, as is the cases of Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers, and Les Witten and the Bureau of Indian Affairs papers. In each of these cases, states Hume, reporters are being accussed of printing secret information vital to the security of the U.S. The interesting thing is however, the majority of the information obtained had already been made public by other sources, or is public information in its own right.
Hume states that what the government is attempting to do is to convince us that secrecy in its domestic and foreign affairs is good for us.
This process of keeping knowledge of govern- mental affairs from the public has reached such proportions, however, as to encourage the development of what is essentially "America's Secret Police;" empowered to keep detailed records on the personal life of anyone it pleases, and to use its authority to ivestigate whomever it wishes.
This organization is given its power by and is essentially the tool of one branch of the government. It is this branch, the executive, which Hume feels has now achieved supremacy over the other two. He believes that the present Administration has made a consistant effort to devieve the public about many aspects of government operations, particularly in regards to the Vietnam War. Refering to the recent peace agreement Hume states; "You can call it what you will: peace at hand, peace with honor, peace with mustard, relish and pickles. It is not peace;
it is still war, and the American public has been massively deceived about this at every turn."
It is in these regards that Hume feels the public is not being properly represented or informed.
He states; "Congress is comatose, the Executive is riding high, and the Press has been ducking its responsibilities."
Hume believes that the only way a truly democratic society, which is presumably the ideal upon which the United States was founded, can be maintained is by the existance of a thoroughly informed electorate which can then make extremely wise choices on all issues.
Unfortunately, as he notes, this cannot be achieved. It is necessary, however, to keep the
people informed as much as possible about all things which might affect them.
"The alternatives to allowing freedom of the press are intolerable," he believes; and if it is necessary to go to jail for attempting to achieve this freedom, then Brit Hume will do so.
Indian Leader Lectures
American Indian Leader Hank Adams will lecture at Alfred University May 3.
The 30-year old Assinoboine-Sioux from the Fort Peck Reservation in Montana will appear at 8:15 p.m. in the James A. McLane Center. The area public is invited to attend without charge.
Adams grew up in western Washington State, where he now heads the Survival of the American Indians Association. He is a former researcher, writer and lobbyist in Washington, D.C., for the National Congress of American Indians and the National Indian Youth Council.
He was said to be a go-between in the return recently of official documents stolen by militant Indians from the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington. His name has been mentioned as a mediator in talks between government officials and Indian occupiers of the tiny hamlet of Wounded Knee, South Dakota.
In 1972 Adams failed in a primary bid for nomination as the Republican candidate from the State of Washington's Third Congressional District.
He campaigned on a platform to j.i-otect "the last vestiges of rights and resources possessed by the Indian people." He specifically advocated the permanent return of a "nondiminishing" land base of not less than 65 million acres in the
"lower 48 states."
Former Choirmon of Boord of Trustees Dies
Dr. Finla G. Crawford, former chairman of the beard of trustees of Alfred University and former vice chancellor of Syracuse University, died on April 13 at Jones Memorial Hospital, Wellsville.
He was 79 years old and lived at 11 Pleasant Ave., Andover.
President Leland Miles of Alfred University characterized Crawford as "the last of the 'Alfred Greats' both literally and figuratively, having been so honored on October 8, 1968 at the University's Founders Day Convocation. He was an inspiration to me personally. Without his enthusiasm for Alfred it is unlikely that I would have accepted my present position," said Miles.
A man of energy and wit, Crawford spent his wording life in the cause of higher education and public service. Born in Cameron Mills in 1894, he began a long association with Alfred University as a student in 1911.
Crawford graduated from Alfred in 1915 with a bachelor of philosophy degree. He subsequently attended the University of Wisconsin, earning a master's degree and doctorate in political science.
Following service as an Army officer in World War I, Crawford joined the faculty of Syracuse University in 1919 with the rank of assistant professor. He was appointed full professor of political science in 1921, chairman of the department of political science in 1925 and dean of the College of Liberal Arts in 1938.
He was named vice chancellor in 1942. retiring in 1959. As vice chancellor Crawford wore a variety of administrative hats including those of budget director and chief officer for academic affairs. At one time or another he served also as dean or director of every academic division of the sprawling university complex.
As an administrator Crawford continued to leach courses in political science and public administration. He was the author or co-author of nine works in the^e fields.
M y m *
In 1958 Governor H a r r i m a n appointed Crawford a trustee of the New York State Power Authority, a post which he held for eight years.
He was a director of the Citizens National Bank of Wellsville and former director of the Unity Mutual Life Insurance Company of Syracuse.

Selection of C.P.C. events—Mr. Louther reported to the Council how the C.P.C. events have been selected this year. The joint planning meetings are open to anyone from either the University or the Tech, but the only student input was from three surveys done by individuals.
Some popular categories suggested for speakers included feminists, politicians, environmentalists, the supernatural and a music group similar to the Vienna Boys Choir.
It was suggested that the faculty might remind their classes of coming events to improve attendance, and that the need for a student advisory committee might be brought to the attention of the Student Assembly.

Grant for Research '
A New York City based foundation for the advancement of science has awafded Alfred University a $4,240 grant to be used in support of long-term research on high strength glasses.
The grant, from the Research Corporation, will underwrite an investigation proposed by Dr.
William C. LaCourse, assistant professor of glass science at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University.
LaCourse's project will focus on the effects of temperature and environment on the strength of arsenic-based glasses, substances opague to visible light but which permit the passage of
infrared radiation. ^ Preliminary work in the field has been carried
out by LaCourse, Dr. David Lewis III, assistant professor of engineering mechanics at Alfred, and Pradip Patel, a graduate student. It indicates that the glasses under investigation are * less brittle than conventional glass materials.
LaCourse noted that the arsenic-based glasses were becoming commercially important in the electronics and optical industries. Potential uses ,<•
include computer-memory storage cells and as computerized printing plates sensitive to laser beams, he said.
LaCourse's award is called the Cottrell Research Grant. It supports research of basic significance in chemistry,' physics, geology and engineering.
LaCourse hods a doctorate in materials engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy. In 1970 he was a National Research postdoctoral associate at the Naval Research Laboratory, Solid State Division, ^ Washington, D.C.
He recently presented a paper entitled "Glass Hulled Submarines" before a meeting of the Materials Engineering Congress in Cleveland.

Robana Publishes Book on African Economics
A leading New York City publisher, Praeger, Inc., will issue a book next month on economic and political conditions in Northwest Africa by an
^ Alfred University faculty member, Dr.
Abderrahman Robana, assistant professor of finance.
The 210-page work is entitled The Prospects for
Rogers in Workshop
An Alfred University faculty member has been ' invited to participate in a National Science
Foundation summer workshop on computer technologh in the social and behavioral sciences June 11 through July 13 at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Dr. Evan D. Rogers, assistant professor of politital science, was among 30 college and university teachers selected for the five-week course out of some 400 applicants.
The workshop will focus on computer modeling in psychology and the social sciences, computational linguistics, n a t u r a l language computing, programming languages and techiques, and procedures for dealing with social science data bases.
Rogers holds a master's degree in psychology from the University of Illinois and his doctorate in political science from the University of Minnesota.
an Economic Community in North Africa:
Managing Economic Integration in the Maghreb States. The Maghreb countries are Algeria, Morroco and Tunisia.
The author, a native Tunisian, presents a comprehencive assessment of the difficulties and opportunities the region face in any effort to achieve ecomomic integration.
Robana argues that the Maghreb's location on the Mediterranean with close contacts to Western Europe renders obsolete the area's tradition of separate economic development. He says oil and natural gas resources give the three-country region a certain degree of joint economic and political leverage, and that economic integration of the former colonial states would be in their own best interest and those of Western Europe.
Robana earned his Ph.D. degree in finance and international economics at the Graduate School of Business Administration of New York , University. He received master's and bachelor's
degrees in business administration from Washington University. St. Louis, Mo.
Prior to joining the Alfred faculty in 1971 Robana held teaching appointments at Adelphi, Rutgers and Hofstra Universities. He is the author of a study on the creation of a center for advanced managment education at the University nf Tunis, sponsored.bv Harvard University.
Community-Oriented
Fraternity Founded
A chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi, one of the larger nationwide fraternities, has been founded here at Alfred. The fifteen prospective members will be officially brothersd soon at Cornell, the nearest Chapter. Seth Levy, acting president of Alpha Epsilon Phi, intends the fraternity to be a community-oriented group and hopes the house to be a "living experience" for all the brothers.
Alpha Epsilon Phi is looking to the other University fraternities for acceptance in the Alfred fraternity system. They further hope to unite this system into a working alliance to serve both the school and the Alfred community. In keeping with their community orientation, future pledging will be non-rigorous, with emphasis on community service.
The lack of a house is presently the major obstacle threatening the success of Alpha Epsilon Phi. They have been trying, with little help from the University, to find a house in town; thus far they have had no luck. Pledges are still being sought, but unless Alpha Epsilon Phi can find a house, the four-week old fraternity will fold.
Grants Awarded to Faculty
Grants totalling $4,500 have been awarded to three Alfred University faculty members by the institution's R e s e a r c h Foundation, it w a s announced.
Scheduled to receive $1,500 each for proposed 1973 summer research were Dr. John C. Gilmour, a s s i s t a n t p r o f e s s o r of philosophy in the University's College of Liberal Arts; and Dr. L.

Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that seeks to explain the nature of being or reality.
Pye will conduct research on the interaction of light with special glass compositions. His purpose is to develop a more complete understanding of the basic structure of gla§s.
Snyder plans to modify and impliment computer programs designed by him to calculate crystal structures. His work, in the long run, is expected to have implications for a better understanding of the structural properties of various glasses.
Gilmour is a graduate of Maryville College, in Tennessee. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1966 from Emory University, Atlanta, Ga. he is a former Woodrow Wilson Fellow.
Pye holds a bachelor's degree in ceramic engineering and a Ph.D. degree in ceramic science from Alfred University.
