Alfred recommended for $813,700 grant

Alfred has been recommended for a, $813,770 grant, by itihe Higher Educational Facilities A<it oi 1963, which will cover approximately one-third of the cost of the new science center.

The cosit of the science center, which now can almost certainly be started in the spring, has been estimated at $2.5 million dollars, Pres. M. Ellis Drake re- waled in an interview with the Fiat Lux Sunday afternoon.

President ¡Drake emphasized that this grant has not yet 'been officially given to the University.

However, he expects confirmation of the grant by the first of Dec- ember.

Alfred applied for this gTanit September 1 of this year. The grants are given for construction of buildings for instruction or research In the natural and physical sciences, languages, li- braries, mathematics and engin- eering.

President Drake explained that the science center is part of the development fund projects. The remainder of the costs for the building will foe met out of development fund?.

Alfred's grant is part of $15,

015,232 which was given to 21 colleges and universities in New York state.

This sum is included In $38,422, 418 in federal funds allocated Ithis year to .New Yoifk state institutions.

Campus visit

Alfter the University had made application for this gTanit, ithe camlpus was visited in the latter part of September by a ginoup of officials from the New York State Education Office.

The leadeir of this visitation oomnmi'ttee was Dir. William S\

Fuller, director of the Higher Ed- ucational Facilities Planning Of- fice.

The specific act in 1863 of tihe Higher Educational Facilities Of- fice is part of PulMic Law 88- 204.

When the funds for institutions were made available to New York

•State, they were allocated to the planning office which was set up specifically to oversee the allo- cation of funds.

Many applications Applications were made by many schools for the funds. Alfter careful screening of the appli- cants, the Board of Regents ap-

proved Alfred's application. Now, a decision is needed by the Unit- ed States Commissioner of Edu- cation.

Following is a reprint of tihe letter received by President Drake from Frank Kille, Associate Com- missioner for Higher Education in New York State:

"We are pleased ito inform you that the Board of Regents of the

University of the State of New York acting as a state commission, for the Higher Educational Facilities Act of 1)963, Public Law 88-204, approved a recommenda- tion to the United States Com- missioner of Education that your institution ibe given a $813,770 grant for construction purposes on October 29, 1965.

"It is well to remember, how-

ever, that this state's recommen- dation in no way constitutes a federal commitment on the project. It is simply a necessary pre- requisite for approval and reser- vation.

"We hope that your application meets with continued success and that funds will be forthcoming shortly so that your project may be completed as planned."

Master plan building to multiply this spring

This coming spring the Al- fred camipus may become what Pres. M. Ellis Drake called "a ten-ring circus", if all the plans in the development program progress so that construction can begin on several of the new buildings.

According to President Drake, construction should start on the first unit of the women's dormitory, the science center, and tihe

physical education and recreation building by the spring if no com- plications arise.

Concerning fraternity row, the President hopes that the road will be completed by November 15, except for the black-topping.

Construction on the .individual fraternity houses may begin in the spiring, but President Drake cautioned that this estimate may be premature.

The President said that he is now considering an equitable method of assigning locations tor each fraternity house.

Faculty housing

Construction on new housing for faculty and staff members has not yet begun, but President Drake emphasized that this must be started soon.

These buildings are all a part of the master plan development program to span tihe next ten years.

Women's dorm

The first unit of the women's dormitory complex, to be built above Alumni Hall, will house 150 women.

The science center will house the departments of biology, psychology, and physics. The building will be located between ©ax- on Drive and Myers and Align Halls.

The physical education and recreation center will be located on the present Terra Cotta Field.

It will contain an Olympic size 'L' shaped swimming pool.

Ceramic building

Construction wbioh has already started but is not part of t h e "

master plan development program is for a building to provide

short term space for the ceramlQ a r t department and classes in

drafting.

This building is being built on a site north of the University maintenance building. It is being built by the University, and will be rented to the College of Ce-

ramics until the Agricultural and Technical College's Industrial building is - turned over to- the

•College of Ceramics.

The building will then be used by the University for maintenance purposes.

Senate> NSA offer

life insurance policy

The Student Senate will make low cost life insurance available to Alfred students. At last Tuesday's meeting the Senate approved a. motion 'by Steve Con- stantinides to accept the program offered by the National Student Association (NSA).

Constantinides said that the insurance plan has been specially formulated by the NSA for college students. Its main advan- tages are significantly lower cost and the perrogative of continuing the plan lafter graduation.

It will be available to students under thirty-three years old.

Under the program NSA will send a letter Ito each student ex-

plaining the insurance and sta- ting that it lhas been endorced by the Alfred Senate. Each student may then decide whether he is interested, said Consltantinides.

Also at the Senate meeting, Pres. Howard Wiener 'began pre- liminary discussion of the ques- tionnaire on student honor codes.

Several senators pointed out that many studenlts do not understand what these codes would mean at Alfred.

In attempting to define a social honlor code Howie Wiener said, a student "is on his honor to turn himself or others in" for infractions of the code, in return for certain privileges.

by Howard Wiener

The success of the Senate this year will depend on the representatives you send to it. They must act as an effective liaison between the students and the Senate, and between the Senate and the students. They must be Senate representatives more than just on Tuesday evenings. They should talk to their constituents about Senate activity. They should bring their ideas back to the Senate.

No longer will 99% of the ideas and actions of the Senate come from the eleven member Executive Council. Sociologists tell us that this sort of organizational hierarchy lowers the moral of the entire structure. We at Alfred have also seen how this has isolated the Senate from the individual student. This year activity will be centered around the committee system.

Each representative will be on at least one of these committees.

Work will be distributed among the members of the commit- tee. This system will bring each representative into a respon- sible position within the organization.

*

This past Tuesday evening the Senate approved the en- dorsement of a student insurance plan. This plan is sponsored **by the National Student Association. It offers a low rate* in- surance policy by a nationally known company which can be continued after graduation.**

By endorsing the plan we are allowing the NSA to present this service to the Students of Alfred University. During the year the NSA will mail the particulars to the students. Whe- ther you take advantage of this service is up to each individual student.

Through its functional service committee, the Senate is sponsoring a round-trip to the New York City area for the Thanksgiving vacation.

"The Atlantic Alliance was a necessity, but must be ladapted to circumstances. The Alliance must be made global. . ." Rocheron said.

Rocheron explained that France h a s withdrawn Its officers from integrated staffs and objects to a system which established such

"political integration." He cited as an example of the difficul- ties arising from such an arrange- ment the flights from American Airfields in France to the Congo despite the fact that France "did

not support the Congo operation."

"The Atlantic Alliance Is es- sentially a treaty for common protection," Rocheron said. "The NATO organization was created later and alot of it is outdated.

Even a completely independent France would have to have t h e same allies," but would favor close consultation among them' rather than creation of a super- national force.

Around the Quads ^

Draft necessary for freedom

This article was written by Ross D. Hudson, a student at Bos- ton University and appeared in the BU News. Two weeks ago, Quads contained an article against the draft which also appeared m the BU News.

I find that Mr. d'Arazien's article lacks much in the way of intelligent and organized thought, and so I shall begin

•with several considerations which he seems to fail to take into account.

As we look around this world, which is supposedly "so large that it overwhelms us," we find two facts which stand out above all others the United States is one of the true de- mocracies existing, and is in" addition, one of the world's great- est powers.

I maintain that it is a world power because it has sought through the three centuries since its inception to maximize **the freedom of*the individual, which Mr. d'Arazien, as a phil- osophy major, should know is a basic aspect which all men seek.**

We are in a special situation, for we are free and our rights are maximized, and we should therefore be grateful. It is, however, not enough to be just grateftd for the benefits which we enjoy. It is our duty to insure that these freedoms are freedoms which our children will be able to enjoy.

To accomplish this, it would seem clear that we must have a form of protecting ourselves against those who would wish this to come to an end. It is a necessary, possibly unfor- tunate, but nevertheless necessary, fact that the best defense is to have as much or more power than your adversary.

Now putting the first factor—that we should be grate- ful for the rights which we now enjoy—with the second pro- position—that power is necessary to preserve our freedoms—

we come up with the conclusion that we need something to in- pure that we have the power at hand. The Armed Forces

«serves this purpose.

I further maintain that the draft serves the purpose of supplying manpower to the various organizations of the Armed Forces, for manpower is always needed, just as it was in World Wars I and II, the Korean War, and presently the Vietnam.

War. We may see the day when these forces are so mechanized that fewer men will be needed and we can do away with the draft, substituting for it a strictly voluntary enlistment pro- gram- But at present this is an impossibility. ,

Now let us examine the draft program in a bit closer de- tail. We are told by Mr. d'Arazien that "the draft takes a' man and makes him a soldier, lacking humanity, dignity, in- dividuality, freedom of conscience, and moral responsibility."

We can acknowledge that the prospect of being drafted may not be the most pleasant in the world, for it involves a sacrifice, however, which we should be willing to make, for we are Americans and proud of it, at least most of us are.

The willingness of these few to serve, Mr. d'Arazien, makes it possible for you to write of how you would like to

change the social structure of this country. This you could not do in a Communist state.

There are always those who would rather fight a system than enjoy it, for they care not for hard work and individual- ism, but would rather sit back and take from the state while giving nothing in return.

String Quartet program praised as exhilarating bit of artistry

by John Farnum

Five professional muscians ex- hibited some fine talent last F r i . id affi in their presentation of three works of art 'by Mozart, Proko- -tieff, and Brahins respectively.

The renowned Antioch String Quartet inaugurated a delightful

•evening with Mozart's Quartet in D Minor. This vibrant master- piece f l a y e d with such eclectic musicianship as possessed by

•these four, 'brought the audience immediately to respectful quiet- ude.

They commanded attention, and attention they received. Har- mony, blend, intonation were theirs as they flowed through this harbinger of two more «lassies.

Each movement was professionally! expressed as asserted by the demanding applause of the audience for more.

From the contemporary stream of music the players selected the Quartet in F, No. a, by Proko- fieff for its second offering. Ring- ing applause at the close attested to the audience's approval and its empathy with the composer

and the performers.

At intermission, people were relaxing not their minds, but their 'bodies from sitting on the folding chairs of the Alfred Uni- versity Gymnasium. Only such dis- tinct composers las these three could be victorious under these conditions.

But victorious they were a s shown by the applause given them for several moments after the lights were turned on. These ac- comodations might remind one Of the fellow who wore out the seat of h i s pants, notwithstanding.

The musicians then returned to the stage for ¡the finale. But now there was a fifth member to the group, Alfred's Mrs. Adia Backer Seidlin, forming a quintet. With some retrogression, the audience found iitself back in itlhe latter half of the nineteenth cen- tury) where. Brahms was lowering the curtain on the romantic period.

The climax of the program was the Brahms Quintet for piano fend strings. Shyly presenting itself, this brilliant 'bit of artis-

t r y unfolded before us exempli- fied grandeur and arrogance of which few composers can boast equality, fewer still superiority.

Played professionally, with t h e pronouned prestidigitation of Mrs.

Seidlin at the piano, the Quin- tet ctame to an exhilarating close, and Alfred was culture's proud possessor as appraisal (persisted through the presentation of flow- ers to Mrs. .Seidlin until the quintet played for an encore, the second half of the sclherzo movement of the Brahms Quintet.

Once again the eulogy of the people ¡persisted, this time not satisfied fay) Brahms, but termin- ated instead by the house lights.

Of the four hundred in attendance, art least half were Uni- versity students, which is a heal- t h y sign of the continuing student participation in cultural activities. Unfortunately, this trend was not noticed in the faculty and' administration attendance. Some credit for the success must) be at- tributed to the audience for ita splendid understanding attentive- ness.

Lindsay gains on Bearne in NYC mayoralty race

by Robert Johnson

Undoubtedly, the most impor- t a n t race to be decided today is for the mayor of New York City.

Political leaders feel that the New York City political testing ground will resolve the f u t u r e of Righib Wing Republicanism in America a n d possibly ¡produce the next" Republican presidential candidate.

The "strong" contender, by a small and decreasing margin, is New York City comptroller Ab- r a h a m Beame. Beame's m'a/jor task was one of reunification. The recent Democratic primary, which surprisingly) chose Beame to be the party standard-bearer over the Wagner-hacked candidate Paul Scrivane, had succeeded in split- ting the City Democratic Party into several factions. Since the ratio of registered Democrats to Republicans in New York City is three to one, total Democratic backing would be a great step toward a Beame victory.

However, Beam© is receiving strong competition for t h a t Dem- ocratic vote from Congressman John Lindsay. This Republican Liberal fusion candidate h a s at- tempted. to present himself as

the liberal agent needed to affect much needed change in City government, as opposed to a candidate who represents the established administration and a con- tinuance of the same errors.

This theme has, for the most part, proven fruitless for Lind- say on issues such as Wagner- ism and corrupt politics. Re- cent polls, however, show that

Lindsay is gaining increasing support from the issue lof "crime in the city streets."

The final candidate, one who does not expect Do win, is Wil- liam Buckley, the arch-conserva- tive editor of theNational Review.

Buckley's purptose is not to win, but to prevent to Liberal, Lindsay, from winning an election a s the Republican candidate.

Polls show t h a t Buckley h a s been quite successful in his campaign; by providing a candidate flor the less-liberal Republicans, he has cut into the relatively small Republican vote that Lind- say normally) would have received.

On the other hand, by making Lindsay seem so liberal, Buckley has persuaded many liberal vto- ters, especially in Negro areas, who would have normally voted

for the Democratic candidate, to vote for Lindsay.

Afiter winning the city primary, Beam© Was so confident of Vic- tory that he made the statement,

"We've got it made as long as we don't make any mistakes."

From that point, Beame let his campaign coast, while .Lindsay continued to steal votes frtom him.

Now, even after the endorcements, although not very enthusiastic, of 'both President Johnson and Mayor Wagner, some polls show t h a t . Beame h a s completely lost his lead and that there la now even contention between Lindsay and Beame.

When Adam ClayBon Powell introduced Beame with the phrase

"New York can prove theiy can elect a Jewish mayor," he re- vealed the one factor that mosft observers feel will determine the lelection-ethnio voting. Indeed much fof Catholic Buckley's support! h a s domie from predomin- antly Catholic area®.

Furthermore, the rise in Lind- say support h a s come from a cracking of the Jewish Mock which was expected to support Befame.

No matter who is chosen, and we hope it will be Lindsay, t h i s race will 'be the closest and most significant of the year.

Editorial,..

Development progresses

Two stories on the front page concerning the master plan development program point to the definite progress evident in this area. The decision of the University to intensify its involvement with the development program so that construc- tion may be started in the spring on the first unit of the wo- men's dormitory, the science center, and the physical education and recreation center must be considered as significant. .

Not only does this mean that this phase of the develop- ment program may be completed sooner than expected; it means also that this year's graduating class will be able to see the beginnings of the realization of a project that has been only an unachieved ideal to them in their years here.

The grant of $813,770 that the University will almost certainly receive to subsidize the construction costs of the science center is undoubtedly one of the largest single dona- tions Alfred will be given in the near future for its develop- ment fund.

This grant was not simply given arbitrarily to. the Uni- versity, however. The administration makes it a point to know how and from what sources funds can be made available for construction and other purposes. Alfred made rea'dy its plafis for the science center and submitted them with its application for this grant.

Letters solicited

In the past, the Fiat has always suffered from a dearth of letters to the editor. The four in this week's issue lead us to believe that perhaps this lack of expressed individual stu- dent opinion is giving way to a greater desire on the part of the students to publicly express themselves.

The Fiat has always encouraged these letters. In this way only can a sampling of student opinion be gathered. The edi- torial does not, and is not meant to, reflect student opinion.

The editorial is a product of the editor.

Therefore, although the Fiat is a "student" newspaper in the sense that it is managed by students, it does not neces- sarily refleet a consensus of student opinion. It is not a stu- dent forum; only through letters to the editor can other opin- ions be aired.

Last weekend I got caught up in Alfred's mad social whirl.

It wasn't until Sunday night t h a t I found time to open my books.

Every Sunday night I a m presented with the same chloice.

Should I study or should I give up the books and seek t h e cellu- loid enlightenment of Room 34 Meyers Hall. More o f t e n t h a n not I go to t h e free flick. Last weekend was no exception.

The room was crowded a s I walked in, the first picture already in progress. The scene was highly reminiscent of ¡one of Dr.

Sass's geology lectures. I kept expecting t h e light® to suddenly flash on and to see h i m s t a n d i n g there with his pointer in hand.

T h e first of t h e three shows was a silent version of E d g a r Allen Poe's Fait of the House of Usher. T h e title cards were in French, which was t h e only way you could tell ihe film was foreign. It was interesting to see a suspense tale without music. This presents a tremendous challenge t o the director. However, I am sorry to say this director failed.

I fjrighit.en easily but not this time.

While Mr. Dailey changed films, those in t h e audienos who felt guilty ab'out not studying returned to the library. T h e se-

Letter to the editor

cond film, another version of Poe's Fall of the House of Usher, was noticeable devoid of giggling.

T h i s American treatment, with music, was highly impressionis- tic. It was a n effort to capture t h e mood of the story and not t h e plot itself. The music did little t o help the film along, which made me wonder just how f a r t h e movie industry has pro- gressed in the past fifty years.

If the second' movie made me wonder, t h e last, The Cabinet of Doctor CaligOri, made me doubt- f u l of a n y progress at all. By the t i m e this 19il9 German picture, directed by Robert Weine, came on, t h e r e were only hard-core designers and long-time prbcras- tinators left in the audience, the others having gone to the Union while t h e t h i r d film was being threaded through the machine.

This film has been hailed as an example of post-war decadence, The Great W a r t h a t is; but, un- less the work ihad been cut pre- vious to showing, decadence was totally absent".

T h e story is told entirely f r o m the viewpoint of a madman, although you do not know this until late in the second reel. Fran- cis, the madman, is convinced t h a t Dr. Caligari has had h i s friend killed along with several

Dear Steve,

Reading your vehement denun- ciations of Alfred, I'm doing ex- actly w h a t you w a n t all of us h e r e to do; I'm trying t o decide w h a t your're trying to prove.

Your opinion is your own, a n d you. certainly have t h e penroga- tive to hold it and even to com- municate it.

But your methods of communi- cation are absurd; not only are you waging a losing battle against a blown-up issue, you are also using the school newspaper in such a way as to present a pic- ture of this college such that I would be ashamed to have read by anyone from without the col- lege community, I am particular- ly incensed by your sneers di- rected at Alfred's alumni who are able to "forget" so well.

AH right, 'that's your opinion.

Now m i n e : I won't w a n t to forget Alfred. Certainly I h a v e gripes against certain aspects of the school, but they a r e direoted toward specific events or (yes, even) professors.

I r e f u s e t o vent all any personal 'frustrations on your administration, the faculty a s a whole, the supposedly apathetic students, or the town laws t h a t w e have little chance of changing since we a r e citizens only tem- porarily.

As a matter of fact, after hold- ing a variety of Jobs and after discovering what Alfred can of- fer toward my personal enrich- ment, I even LIKE the school!

You evidently w a n t a "cause".

Maybe even drop the words

"apathy" and "hating Alfred"

and "forget" from your vocabu- lary. Your Tanguage is strong, and it speaks well for the admin- istration that they exercise no censorship. Something is need- ed, however, along the lines of personal self-restraint, to present an accurate view of Alfred as it is.

It is sad to find nabble-rousr era in a group of intelligent people because rafbb8e-rousing comes from an emotion r a t h e r t h a n Intellect; I for one don't w a n t to join you S t o r m Troop- ers. Stop pointing a t Carnegie Hall yelling, "Charge" until you Hind out to whom you a r e yelling.

Letter to the Editor

Student terms editorial *naive'

Dear Editor:

Your editorial of October 19 concerning flr&temities, shows a complete misunderstanding of w h a t a f r a t e r n i t y Is.

A f r a t e r n i t y is not juist a dormitory t h a i h a s beer blasts and parties. A f r a t e r n i t y 'has individuality.

A fraternity has individuality because it is a fellowship, a fel- lowship of men with common in- terests, ideas, and activities.

-A f r a t e r n i t y h a s individuality because it is selective; it se- lects those people i t wishes to associate with, a n d reject» those w i t h whom it does not.

A f r a t e r n i t y h a s individuaSity because it is a b r o t h e r h o o d ; " a brotherhood of men engaged in reaching common goals of ex- cellence and self-perfection.

When a fraternity looses one part of its individuality, the oth- er parts become more vulner- able; they are all interrelated.

When a fraternity looses indi- viduality, it ceases to function as a fraternity.

Therefore, fraternities should try to retain a s much of t h e i r individuality a s possible, so t h e y c a n r e m a i n fraternities, n o t dormitories w i t h Greek letters f o r names.

Review t h i s letter, and if you understand it, you will k n o w why your comments a r e naive.

Professor questions Fiat Lux reprint of The Hornell Tribune's editorial

To the editor of the Fiat Lux: Alfred students were indeed their relative Inac

Freshman questions Alfred's socioI life

To the editor of the Fiat Lux:

When a large portion of an editorial page i s devoted to a reprint, without comment, of another paper's editorial), one can assume either editorial staff con- currence with the guest editorial or a desperate need for filler.

Since a (half page of eadh issue of the Fiat iis devoted to a visual vulgarity that masquer- ades as a comic strip I assume itihe latter to Tie the case. Never- theless the Hornell Tribune's editorial and its inclusion in tihe Fiat deserves comment.

The editorial made a number of points, some intentional, oth- ers apparently not. It fully ex- posed the inadequacies of the University facilities to provide for cultural functions by describ- ing the overcrowding and con- fusion resulting from the at- tendance of one hundred stu- dents.

It justly praised Dr. Hofstadter for his lecture and also praised the students, desori/bing tlhem as

"attentive" and their response ais, "intelligent," and "courte- ous."

Tihey tolerated unflinchingly the indignités of the "hot, stuffy and crowded" ¡hall, even standing • on the 'staircase in order to act

"in the oldest of the American traditions—rational inquiry into

•the relation of citizens and government."

This attitude of Alfred stu- dents was silhouetted against the background of the writer's notion of the current image of the "college student" as a

"bearded draft-doger waving a placard."

/MfSi!cT\

Alfred students were indeed acting in an old American tradition. One hundred students at- tended. One thousand four 'hundred did not and arrangements were made with the expectation that one out of fifteen students would attend a lecture by one of the country's most eminent and articulate ¡historians.

It is this most pervasive and pernicious of American college traditions-nan-involvement or apathy—that the "new Left" is trying to demolish. This "new Left,"

•the author gratuitously implies is composed of "stuibby faces, black stockings and long hair- dos."

Few beards

I saw only a few beards in the photos of the protest march- ers. In fact, except for the placards one could not distin- guish them from any other large group of college students. Many of them are the same types of students who went' to hear and question Dr. Hofstadter.

They too " were aoting in that great American tradition of inquiry into tlhe relations of citizens and government and following through iby publicly ar- ticulation their conclusions. Their opinions may be unpopular but they- serve the necessary function of providing a loyal opposi- tion.

Tihe editor did not compare the one ¡hundred students who 'at- tended tihe lecture witih tlhe vast majority of students who do not participate in anything tainted with intellectual activity beyond the minimum requirements for their degrees.

Rather he preferred to praise

their relative Inactivity by com- paring them to those students whose social and political action has given. this student genera- tion a sense of commit,tmien,t that has long been absent in American college life.

He would apparently prefer a inore docile student population, one thiat was content to swallow goldfish (as popular in tihe Twenties) or be "on. the road,"

•running away. Today, students in ever-growing nu/mlbers tend to be on the streets marching into the tenth of wihat they consider to be social and political injus- tices.

Protestor's image

The image of the protestor as a cowardly draft-dodger is he- lied by the fact that many of the same people, by their own choice, went South and risked at

least their comforts and at times their lives to support of funda- mental principles of the Ameri- can way of life.

The FIAT is a student paper.

It is a service to the University community. If material is need- ed for the editorial page it would be far better to incorporate, for example, the literate and Intel- ligent irrelvancies of Miss Hun- ter's now demised features rath- er than the congratulatory trivia of self-serving local editorials.

Frosh elections

Last week freshman elections were held, and elected to offices were: Al Celio, president, Tom Moore, vice-president of men, and Tracie Edwards, vice-presi- dent of women.

To the editor of the Fiat Lux, Since the question on the Uni- versity supported entertainment h a s arisen twice, I feel that it is time the fresthimen bad a chance to express their views. I feel that there 'Should be more diversions available to the frosh, as well as the non-fraternity man.

Today there is entertainment on Sunday night a t Myers Hall.

If a person is to enter the library at this time he will notice a great many students studying for the Monday exaims and Class- es. What is needed is a form of diversion on Friday and Satur- day night.

The only form of entertain- ment that is available to the student is the dance that is held

"down the road" and this is not open to all the frosh. When the student returns, the trouble starts on the floor.

Anyone will tell you that very little is destroyed when the student is sober. I do not mean to say that all the destruction will stop. I do think that there will be a great decrease.

What the University must real- ize is that the 'majority of their

¡students came from towns where there was some sort of diversions during the weekend. The student wants some sort of activity when he has finished his work for the day. If the games were scheduled on a Saturday night it would help.

An occasional dance on a Fri- day or Saturday -night would al- so help to relieve the dullness.

If it is money they are worry- ing about, a charge of admission would easily pay the band as well as chaperones. It seems to work well for the Tech- so why not for us. Already the Tech Is overcrowded with University stu- dents at their social functions.

What Is better proof of a de- sire for social functions than this?

A school should not be j u s t ifour waius. There must be more;

than higher learning tx> keep thft student body functioning to t h e i r capacity. If the -school could also have a bar it could ibe easier to have a control over the amount that a student can have a t one time. The student would be 'more willing to limit himself because the source is easier to get to.

I don't feel that the students need a dance every single night, hut I do feel that there should be more than there have been.

(Since Orientation, we have had only two dances. If tlhe town had more to offer, ais far as social function's, tihe University would not have such a (problem. If

•there was 'bus service the student could get ouit during t h a day, but there is none.

I really don't feel that this is too much~ for us to ask when you consider that other univer- sities have done this in the past.

If we had autos we ' could be able to entertain ourselves—but we don't, so we can't. This might easliy be a topic for the Student Senate.

Sincerely,

Lon MicAdam and friends

Dale Anderson B.A., Wittenberg University

At many companies the opportunity to work on challenging projects comes after many years of apprenticeship and a few grey hairs. Not so at Ford Motor Company where your twenties can be a stimulating period. There are opportunities 'to prove your worth early in your career. Dale

Anderson's experience is a case in point.

After receiving his B.A. in Physics in June, 1962, Dale joined our College Graduate Program and was assigned to our Research Laboratories.

Recently he was given the responsibility for cor- recting cab vibration occurring on a particular type of truck. His studies showed that tire eccen- tricity was the cause of the trouble. Since little change could be effected in tire compliance, his solution lay in redesigning the suspension system^

Tests of this experimental system show the problem to be reduced to an insignificant level.

That's typical of the kind of meaningful assignments given to employes while still in the College Graduate Program—regardless of their career interest. No "make work" superficial jobs. And, besides offering the oppor- tunity to work on important problems demanding fresh solutions', we offer good salaries, a highly professional atmosphere and the proximity to leading universities.

Discover the rewarding opportunity Ford Motor Company may have for' you. How? Simply schedule an interview with our representative when he Visits your campus. Let your twenties be a challenging and rewarding time.

Saxon Sports

by Chris Rodier

Coach Yunevich had quite a problem Saturday afternoon.

How do you keep the score down without knocking some of the competitive spirit out of the squad.

He tried everything in an attempt to slow Idown our scor- ing pace against Ursinus. You wouldn't see some of the back- field combinations for the Saxons very often.

The starting backfield of Sagolla, Codispoti, Benincasa, and Podeswa, didn't play in their regular positions in the sec- onld half at all. Benincasa and Sagolla both sat out the second half on offense.

Five different quarterbacks were used: Wyant, Johns- ton, Sagolla, Codispoti, and "Wood all played at quarterback, and each of them scored either by a run or a pass.

Podeswa would have gotten a crack at quarterback, if there had been a chance, and even Joe AJdamczyk might have had a shot at it.

The Coach played the reserves the entire second half. On defense there wasn't one starter out on the field in the second half for any length of time.

But the second string wanted to show how well they could play. They were hustling anld charging on every play.

It was a tough break for Dan Lacey to have been injured just when he was showing how well he could run.

Alumnus of College of Ceramics nominated for football award
