A Rosy Future Seen for Center

The Campus Center Board met last Tuesday, February 23. Two members of Ithe /"Ag-Tech Union Board were present at the meeting to discuss with the University Board some of the problems they have encountered in running t h e r Union.

An area conference of college Union Boards will be held on March 13 at Geneseo. Delegates attending will consider the common problems and interests of their re- spective Centers.

A new Campus Center Board will be formed at the end of March or April. A meeting to plan the re- organization of the Board will be held in the near Culture.

will be addressing a number of classes in various fields of study.

On Wednesday, he will speak to the international relations class at 1:30 oh Israel, which he has visited several times. Among the other classes are the philisophy class, a nursing class, a sociology Class and the Old Testiment class.

Any students who wish to speak With Rabbi Malino on personal problems should contact him for an appointment

hers riamge from the stirring "Re- volt of the Slaves", and the voodoo

"Wdltch Doctor Dance", to the gay, light hearlted "Creole Mazurka"

and "Congo Tropical", The reper- toire also includes Sire dances, market dances, carnival and court- ing scenes.

The dance of Haiti is unlike that of any other country, com- bining the aforementioned cultural traditions—the primitive rit- uals of the African hinterland with the refined and elegant social dances of the eighteenth century French court.

Destine has taken the elemental dances of the Haitian people and transformed them into an exciting

¡theatrical experience' while still 'retaining their authentic, flavor.

Conventionally educated and city.diweliliing, he was drawn into

Ithe rural and1 superstition-fraught areas of country. At first unac- cepted by the peasants, he wiae eventually initiated into the Voo- doo cult and was tutored by a Voodoo priest, absorbing the pul- sating music and dance of the ritual. Through his performances.

Destine has raised the once-despis- ed music and dance of Haiti to respect.

He was appointed by the Hai- tian government as director of the Troupe Folklorique Natdonale, and was recently awarded the Legion of Honor, the highest honor his country can bestow.

Featured also will be the Inter- nationally known percussionist, Alphonse Cimlber, who will appear as soloist and accompanist. Mr.

Oimber had appeared in many Broadway productions, among them

"Showiboat."

National Nominating Assembly Will be Dr. Crawford's Theme

On Wednesday night Dr. Fin- la Crawford will address the Poli- tical Science Club on the topic of the National Nominating Conven- tion. The meeting will be held at Howell Hall at 8:00 pjm.

With election time fast approach- ing, the topic should prove of great Interest to both the student body and the residents of Alfred.

Dr., Cnawtford is a highly qualified speaker; having been, for some time, active in looal and state politics. This year, he attend- ed several of the Democratic fund- naising dinners and will attend the Democratic National Convention

later in the year. Dr. Crawford 1«

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

A healthy discussion has begun to take place on our camipus concerning the purpose of education Sit Alfred. The discussion was mani tested in two meetings recently:

One sponsored by the Oamipus Center Board and one organized by the Protestant Forum.

Such relatively insignifiica/nit events as semester indices and tihe institution of & staffer cut system toave undoubtedly been precdpta- tang factors, but -what is iimipontanjt is not wihat caused the discussion ibut the fact tlhait creative thinking is taking (place-

In hopes that this sorely needed evaluation and creativity will continue, may' I ciite a recent article in "Fellowship" magazine concerning a camipus where criticism resulted in positive action:

"A resolution making ROTC voluntary at Michigan State Uni- versity received a majority vote of 400 to 248 by tJhe school's faculty senate last month. Supporters of ith§ voluntary program argiu,ed that it'he university's first obligation

•was "to seek the truth" and that it could better contribute to national defense by educating engin- eers, mathematicians, teachers, and others."

Perhaps this will stimulate discussion of another facet of our evaluation of education ait Alfred.

Class Platforms Announced

Voice of America

The FIAT has received a leV ter from an American In Ger- many who states that students in European universities are interested in corresponding with American college students

in order to create better under- standing and to discuss similar problems, experiences, etc.

All students interested in corresponding with students in Paris, London, Frankfurt, Co- penhagen, Vienna, or Rome should contact the FIAT, Box 754 and mention the country they are interested in if they have a preference.

Class of '61

Dick Gross

This platform will not be leng- thy, for it is my belief that the merits of the candidates speak louder than any pl'atform ever could.

The class of 1961 is now in its third year on compus, and undoubtedly knows the qualifications of each of the candidates. For this reason, I have not presented any definate "planks" in my platform.

However, if elected, I believe I have the experience, ability, and desire to adequately serve as president of the Senior Class.

• * »

Ray Pardon

Our class elections are unfortu- nately popularity contests since the students have no intelligent In- formation on which to base their choices. These platforms are an in- adequate means of providing the

students with this necessary ln_

Iformatiota, as these articles are lonly partisan statements of qualifications and f u t u r e policy which are very difficult to evaluate.

There is also a lack of opportunity for discussion of any issues raised.

The main work of the class Presi- dent take place in the Student Senate with the average -student having only a vague notion of the

¡work being done. As your representative in the Senate, I served last year on the Moving Up Day Com- mittee, and I am now Chairman of thfe Special Activities Committee I and a member of the Elections . Committee.

If I am re-elected, I will continue

| my committee work as well as be- ,come 'Chairman of the Elections

Committee. As in the past year, I will give careful consideration to

¡your suggestions for improving our class and will continue to serve

¡what I believe to be your interests in the Senate. I am ready to as-

sume the increased responsilbi- ties of Senior Class President.

I feel that it is. time for the members of the Class of .1961 to get up from their chairs and DO something. I am running for President of the Senior Class because I feel I would be able to squelch Alfred Apathy and promote senior spirit.

I feel qualified to do this because I have been 'active in campus af- fairs. During my sophomore year I was Women's vice-president of our class. I have worked on the W.S.G. Council and I am presently

Our Senior year will be our most important year at Alfred. There are many functions that must be carefully planned and organized. If I am elected, I will do my best to insure the success of these functions and I will try to msuke tlhe Class of 1961 the best class Alfred has ever seen.

I ask each of you to go to the polls and vote. When you do, vote ifcw the person whom you feel will do the best job and whom you feel will be the best representative of our, class. But regardless of which candidate wins the forthcoming election, let's all work together to make our senior year a successful one.

Class o f ' 6 2

Duncan Stanton

Before presenting by platform for president of next year's Junior Class, I would like to thank those members of the class who took an active part in the frosh hazing program last fall. This was the first time such an organziation of sophomores as the "Vigilantes" had been formed and it was certainly a contributing factor to the rise of freshman and sohool spirit in evidence around campus. It is I hoped that the "Vigilantes" will become a tradition at Alfred and a

¡lasting momento to the class of ,'62.

I, if elected as president, intend [to represent the Junior Class to ithe best of my ability in all mat-

t e r s concerned. As an active mem- iber of the Student Senate and of i the "Moving-up Day, Functional Ser- vice, and Elections committees

therein, I feel that I am best cap- able of conveying the opinion Of ithe class to that organization. I

believe, also, that my past experi- e n c e in student governing activities has given me a broad scope and

¡a better understanding of student- faculty relations.

As far as class activities are concerned, the ball has already started rolling, under the present admini- stration, to thoroughly examine the possibilities of a Junior Class spiring picnic. If re-elected, it will be my privilege to sponsor the traditional class party and to carry through any other activities desired' by the class.

Alex Zoldan

In organization there is unity- in unity: spirit.. In two and half years, we, as a class, will appear aide by side in the year book and we will sit side by side at the graduation ceremony. How many members of the class will you re- cognize? How many members do you know now?

It it time to organize ourselves into a spirited unit. With an eye toward class unity, I propose the following projects, not merely as projects buit as activities which will bind us together in a class.

During the fall, I propose to hold a class coffee hour. At this time,

we will be able to meet in a grouip and discuss vfarious problems and to organize various committees. I

¡have also considered for the fall

•semester i a Junior¹ Class Talent Assembly, with the hope that it wiill not only bring spirit to the class of 1962 but from tlhe other classes.

I feel that class spirit would be fostered by a class project,' which could continue in our Senior year.

The money could be put forward toward the purdhlase of a class gift. For a class project, I would like to introduce a spring dance t o be given by the Juniors in honor of graduating Seniors. This dance would be open to all classes and

would be a flitting tribute to our graduating Fraternity brother® and sorority sisters and to our Senior classmates.

I also intend to carry on the traditional Junior Class picnic.

With these projects I feed that our class will obtain the unity necessary for us to assume the role of leadership in our Senior year.

Class of '63

Henry Landman

At this yelir's freshman banquet Dean Seidlin stated that our class wias considered to be the finest entering freshman class in Alfred University history. I feel that our class has done liittle to back this statement up.

If I didn't feel that our class hiad the spirit and leadership ability to excel, I would not be running for president. A few in our class have taken the lead, but without the support of all of us t h e results amount to little.

One of my main olbjeotives will be to promote activities for in- dependents. I also hope to promote class spirit, class activities, and school activities. If elected I shall attempt to further these stated aims and your desires.

This year as freshmen our class has shown more spirit than pre- vious freshman classes. Our tremendous support at pep rallies and football games really added to the spirit of Alfred University. We had our run-ins with uppercl'assmen and

•took our "lumps" together as classmates at a Frosh Court.

Now iwe'ire somewhat adjusted to college life and as we glance back at our first days here at Alfred it's hard to realize how our class united so quickly and formed so well.

11 personally feel that our class has the makings of being one of the

greatest to came out of Alfred Uni- versity, and I'd like to tell you it has truly been an honor to serve as class president for this past year.

Next year as sophomores we'll be setting the examples for the freshmen, we will occupy more of- fices in organizations on campus, and our class will have gained tremendous prestige. Since we'll be living apart in fraternities, sorori- ties, and dorms, our class officers will be faced with a big challenge in keeping the class united and functioning as unit.

I've been renominated for tlhe office of president and because of the experience I've gained this year, I feel that I'm well qualified.

Having served ,on the Student Sen- ate, I have become familiar with the operation of this body. We have

a very efficient system of government on this dampus and I feel that we'll need a person with experience to guide our class next year.

Whether I'm re-elected for class president or not, I'd like to ask all of you to vote for the person you feel is best qualified for the job. Once more I thank you for the privilege of serving as your class president this past year.

John Nunes

What happened? We started out wth a spirit never before seen in Alfred. We had unity but then it deteriorated. I, if elected .hope to relight this spirit.

In the spring, I will hold a class picnic. This is something th'at has never before been done at Alfred.

This will certainly help all of us to meet all of our classmates and bold us together as a unit. I pro.

pose to hold class meetings re- gularly.

I also hope to l\elp the Student Union realize • its (potentialities through our endeavors. I will endeavor to make tlhe officers of our class become more than figure- head's.

Let's make this a real election and not a popularity contest. Pick the person who you thing will be best qualified for the position of president.

In a recent student poll on the question. "Wlhat's wrong witih Al- fred" some of the following com- ments were made. It is hoped they will become tihe basis of fruitful discussion, and perhaps action to remedy certain problems.

Stephen Chaleff, Junior, Bronx.

"One of tlhe greatest problems of Alfred, where student enrollment is small, is the lack of small and informal classes. Every introduc- tory course is overcrowded, as well as many of the advanced courses.

Particularly representative of this fact is the situation in the history and political science department, where courses given only every other year often have an enrollment of over two dozen."

Sam Hulbert, Grad student, Ad- ams Center. "There is nothing ser- iously wrong with Alfred, but (there aire many idiosyncrasies that

could be worked upon, such as a more diversified and cult until program. If the university lacks any- thing material, it is a cockitail lounge in the library."

Peter Barron, Sophomore, Scars- dale. "The students seem to lack originality, rather prefering to util- ize old ideas than add suggestions of their own. Glasses sihould be small, especially in conjunction with the civilization course and swbsequest discussion courses."

Evelyn Gross, Freshman, Brook lyn. "Lack of culture. Lack of suffi- cient library facilities. Many pax»

lessors not stimulating enougih'. The scthool is too small. Dormitory food should be of better quality. The college neiwspaper does not' cover all topics of interest. Library hours sihould be extended and the number of volumes sihould be increased."

Peggy Balint, Junior, Wood bridge. "Aside from any major problems, ie. new labs which can't

•be immediately remedied due to lack of funds, I feel the general

•lack of culture and intellectual stimulation laimong itlhe student body comprise the foremost fault.

The Protestant Forum as well as regular forums, Footlight Club productions, and organized "buill sea- sons" are available, but not taken advantage of by those attending

the school. I doubt whether this problem is peculiar to Alfred.

Richard Ottman, Junior, Cobble- skill. "Many students don't put enough study into their subjects—

tiheir failures can mainly be at- tributed to their own attitudes.

Also, the problem of transportation in and around the village is serious, resulting in inconvenience for travel to outside areas."

Eric Harrison, Brooklyn, Fresh- man. "Coming up to Alfred from a a high school in which the* spirit of the student body was ait a very low ebb, I expected to find the students enthusiastic and willing to

•Work together. After all, this is college, the path to maturity! Yet I- found the same apathy and lack of unity that characterized tihe low- er grades. Only a few s e e n to have the desire to work, not so much for theahselves, but to join together and do something for Alfred."

Sally Boyd, Senior, Buffalo.

"There is a general apathy among tihe students—'they need outside interests to spiurk their couriosities.

No interest seems to generate fivim tihe . students themselves; ultirni >.e- ly, it is really only superficial interest in campus events. And when spirit does Show, it is often ti.neo stifled by the administratios."

Joel Wechsler, Junior, Yonkero.

"'Compulsory ROTC is objection- able. The three-cut system re- sembles aI high sohool attendance program. Weekend library hours are ridiculous (such as open only three hours on Saturday.) There

sihould be smaller and more informal classes in advanced courses.

Lastly, there seems to be a general anti-intellectual attitude on the part of the students themselves, as illustrated by the poor attendance at forums."

'our seccusessive H skets by Bres- nick and Steinberg. This brought the Saxons to within one point of the Buffs as the half ended.

As the second half opened witih 'the Saxons tiuiling 33-32, Bob Mc-

Donald scored a jump shot to pat Alfred ahead for the first time in the game. No more than 2 !ii »tfitis separated the teams at any time through the first ten minutes of the second half. At this point .a jump shot by Bresnick put the Sl .x ons ahead 51-47, but this lead .was

Drive Carefully !

As a college sophomore, you're nearing the mid-point.

Halfway through college—halfway through Army ROTC.

Now you face a major decision: Are the gold bars of a Second Lieutenant worth two additional years of study in advanced ROTC?

That question is yours to answer now—before you register for your junior year. As you explore the

facts, carefully weigh the traditional responsibilities and rewards of serving as an Army officer . . .

ence. T h a t ' s why employers often prefer men who served as commissioned officers. These men already have proven their capacity to shoulder executive responsibility.

2 . Traditional rewards. In every organization, greater responsibilities mean greater rewards. T h u s the traditional responsibilities and prestige of an Army officer are matched by material advantages. For example, if you plan to marry soon after graduation—an officer's salary can be a distinct advantage. A married 2nd Lieutenant earns a minimum of

$355.68 per month—plus substantial fringe benefits.

SPEAKING OF SPORTS

by Neal Gantcher

Tonight's basketball game with Ithaca College will be the

"8th consecutive game in which Archie Bresnick has partici- pated. It. will 9^o be his last one in a purple and gold uniform,

"or tonight Archie ends his collegiate playing career.

During his three years of varsity competition he has amass- ed over 700 points. This accomplishment ranks him fourth in all- Mme Alfred scoring. For the past two years he has led the Sax- ons in field iroal percentage while currently he is first in "re- bounding and second in scoring with a 15-point-per-game average. ¡¡

Last v<>ar Bresnick received an honorable mention on the!

ECAC's All-East, Team. This accumulation of accomplishments is even more noteworthy when one considers the fact that Bres- nick never played ¡high schoolbasketball.

A?chi<> learned his basketball and developed his skills in the aggressive and competitive Brooklyn schoolyards and play- grounds. It was in the give and go type of game that was play- i ed there that he learned how to drive in for the score. His fel- low teammates have indicated the respect they have for him beyond his playing capacity by naming him captain of the team for the past two years.
