President's Announcement

The faculties and administrative officers of Alfred Uni- versity have expressed their concern on occasion over the presence of discriminatory membership clauses in the charters and bylaws of several campus fraternities. Because such clauses are contrary to the democratic principles on which the Univer- sity was founded and is maintained, the faculties and officers of the University are agreed that they must be eliminated at as early a date as possible.

' We have always-believed that this problem can best be solved through action taken by the fraternities themselves.

Undergraduate and alumni members of fraternities having such clauses are expected to make the necessary changes without un-

due delay. » A recent review of the situation has revealed that signifi-

cant progress is being made. One fraternity has complied and steps have been taken in the others to bring about the neteessar changes. The fraternities which have not complied have been directed to increase their efforts to meet our requirement and it is hopefully anticipated that the next report on this matter will show that no fraternity on the Alfred University campus has discriminatory clauses in its charter or bylaws.

We wish to point out once more that the University does not intend to interfere with the right of a fraternity to select its own members. We believe that since a fraternity is a social organization it fnust alone be the judge as to whether an indivi- dual will be a compatible member of the group.

From The Editors. •.

"The Choice of a Candidate"

Except for the competition provided for thé office of NSA coordinator t,he choice of student government officers has al- ready beqn made for you. To say the least, this is an unique situation. Never before have three candidates run unopposed for such important offices on the Alfred campus.

This is not to say that the candidates nominated are "the best of all the possible." But under the circumstances these people are the best ones available. They are the only ones with the necessary qualifications; length of service and practical experience included.

It is unfortunate that the residences do not take more of an interest in their student government by first electing interest- ed representatives and then keeping them in their positions so that they will accumulate the qualifications to run for office.

Too many candidates on the Setnate now, although on the most part they are capable and are doing a good job, do not meet the minimum qualifications to be candidates.

The first step in effective student government is the eleo- tion of qualified officers. Theoretically and practically this has i been done for you. The students have a right to expect that ac-

tion will follow up positions taken by the new leaders.

Only an imaginative and creative program instituted and directed, by the new Senate officers will successfully continue what the present Senate has begun, and what 'they will be elect- ed and expected to do.

This does not mean that the burden of responsibility rests soley on the leaders shoulders. An effective student government cannot operate without effective student participation. The government leaders can stimulate, suggest and organize but it is up to the representatives and in turn the students who they report back to to first understand the problems and then par- ticipate in the

l

activities.

- The present Senate has laid the groundwork for an effective student government. Intense interest, hard work and general undèrstanding of campus problems on the part of the students and their representatives as well as a cooperative rapport with I the new officers will determine the success of: the new Senate

as well the Women's Student Governing Board.

The student body can start to carry out its responsibilities by. voting in the elections on March 13. It is important that wè show our support for the new officers. This will help give them the confidence that wè the students want them to help us help ourselves. It is very difficult, psychologically, to run in an 'un- opposed election ; let's not make it an unnoticed one also.

Although in the past the' checks and balances of our govern- mental system have beén sporadically dormant, responsibility provoked by conscience, should always be a concern to those involved in the system.

It is the job of a college newspaper to not only be a forum for discussion and suggestion but also to remind Pinnochio that Jiminy Cricket is always present. The Fiat Lux will not shirk from its reactivated consciousness of responsibility on both of these counts.

Class Talent Reigns At Junior Assembly

by Harriet Fain

T h e J u n i o r Glass presented a

" t a l e n t " show a t t h e March 2nd assembly. According to Alex Zol- dian, class President, t h e purpose of t h e assembly w|as to provide e n t e r t a i n m e n t and to inculcate n e w spirit i n t o t h e classes at Al- fred. One of t h e m a n y pnolbleims associated with t h e plamming of t h e show, was t h e a p p a r e n t over- a b u n d a n c e of talent in t h e J u n i o r Class. In keeping with Mr. Zoldan's proclaimed purpose of injecting n e w spirit into all t h e classes, t h e J u n i o r Glass w a s forced to limit i t s r e p r e s e n t a t i o n to one act. J'uistt in case anyone m i g h t b e disillu- sioned into s e a r c h i n g f a r a serious purpose, Mr. ZoildJan quackly as- s u r e d t h e m thialt they w e r e " n u t s "

by quoting f r o m M a r k Twain,

" P e r s o n s a t t e m p t i n g to find7 a mo- tive in this nairra/tive will be pros- e c u t e d ; persons a t t e m p t i n g to find a moral in it will be banished;

p e r s o n s a t t e m p t i n g to find a plot i n it will be shot."

• J e r r y Zwiiokel, '61 honiored St.

P a t Decked out in tells, Mr. Zwiic- kel appeared as a m a n whose emotional problems (have b e e n solved. It seems t h a t as a fresh- m a n , Mr. Zwiiokel was profoundly

•worried about his heigiht in rela- tion to t h a t of the rostrum. How

•would he reach t h e rostrum if h e should become valedictorian? How- ever, t h e Alfred professors, t r u e t o form, I oame to J e r r y ' s resoue.

Now a senior, h e no longer worries alb out his heigiht; his professors (have made hum secure with tfhe knowledge - t h a t he'll never be valedictorian.

T u r n i n g from his own problems, J e r r y proclaimed his intention of adopting an epistoimoiloigical ap- proach to the moire serious side of - St. P a t ' s Weekend. Tio launch t h e festivities, t h e Civilization Pa- nel, not wishing to be accused of lacking school spirit, will give i t s annual pre-St. P a t ' s quiz.

No one knows when or w h e r e St. P a t will arrive, but Mr. Zwric- kel suggested t h a t we aH keep a n e y e on the Davis " t e m p o r a r y "

Gym. Everyone comes to t h e St.

P a t ' s festivities: students, profes- sors, villagers, dean, Um/cle J o h n n y (from tfhe Collegiate) a n d h i s b r o t h e r Bill (from t h e guiding light down t h e road), and all t h e

dispensing speeding tickets.

Dave Mlairtin, serving a s emcee, introduced as one J u n i o r Glass tal- ent r e p r e s e n t a t i v e Bob Klein and Mike Weiner. In spite of Mike's

"technical a n d personal disooupfi- tures", they m a n a g e d t o sing

" W h e n I Flail In Love" and "Mid- night Special".

F r e s h m a n Jeff Wells, followed (by classmate Gloria Weinberg, enter- tained with h i s vocalizations.

Gloria sang two Rodgers and Ham- in erstein selections.

T h e n fallowed an act especially fior those who were aft least a little m e n t a l l y unhealthy. Madam Oaryn a n d h e r Swinging Five took us to

J u s t in base anyone had for- g o t t e n t h a t St. P a t ' s w a s approach- ing, Jioel Moskowitz appeared on s t a g e . H e informed t h e audience t h a t St. P a t would not arrive t o host t h e annual S. P a t ' s W e e k e n d unless h e h a d the backing of t h e e n t i r e student body. A resounding

"Erin Go B r a g h " was his answer.

Now completely satisfied, Joel r e l a t e d some of t h e adventures of S t . Pat. Once upon a time, St. P a t w a s a mild-tmiannered Alfred Uni- versity student. The only time our h e r o reveailed his t r u e identity w a s w h e h Lois Loser, who suspected t h e truth, w a s Captured by grem- lins. Oomiimg t o Lois' aid as Super- mlan, our hero got his f i r s t d a t e t o St. P a t ' s Weekend.

In his nexit adventure, St. P a t is disqwised a s Robin Pat, leader of t h e Rogues of Sherwood F o r e s t

(sometimes known as t h e Sit. P a t ' s Board), who live in Jericibo Forest.

Robin P a t will stop at nothing to g e t a ticket t o St. Pat's, but, alias, in t h e end, the Rogues decide t h a t they Will hiave to b u y tickets.

The final adventure took place in t h e late '20's. Eliot P a t of the unmentionables, assisted by H a r r y H a n d c u f f s , wtas viisited -by a
