Rabbi Malino Speaks on
"Ministry to Ourselves"
Gloria Friedman
"There is a process in human ibeings that can make improve- ments in the self without outside influences," Rabbi Jerome Malino told last Thursday's assembly as the religious leader ended his twentieth annual visit to the Alfred Campus.
Rabbi ,Malino spoke on "The Ministry to Ourselves". He stated that this process in us can operate without any need of religious ad- ministration, magical f o r m u l a psyco-therapists and analysts. It is a common belief today that only competent professionals can ad- minister to disturbed' individuals.
Patheologioal conditions do requirt special help. However, most of us can provide ministry for ourselves.
The first step in the process of providing self-help is to examine our "selves". Individuals have either one of two "guilt ridden
psyches". There is the morbid guilt which interferes with the func-
tioning of the human being. There is also the cleansing sense of guilt which permits us to see right from wrong. This cleansing sense of guilt therefore serves a purpose.
•The human being is ¡made up of many other "selves". There is the
self that loves only self, the self that loves others, the selves of lost, loyalties, laziness, creativity and conformity. The second step in the ministering process is to recognize the fact that we are a (battleground for these "selves"
and must impose our-own will. We must ponder the iproblem of what tp do with those faults oi which we are conscious. We can escape the fault problem by emphazing faults in others, seeking to justify them by rationalization, or dis- missing the problem entirely.
The raJbbi concluded his speech by saying "self refinement which, we are capable will increase our value as human beings. The value of the individual is infinite and infinitely increasable. The most important step is to Tise above self-contentment and rationaliza- tion. This is not as difficult as it seems because there are the good and powerful allies of spirit, ca- pacity to love, willingness to be creative, and faith in God which makes improvement possible. At Alfred, as in the rest of the 'World there is a malady called self-con- tentment and satisfaction. We,
wbo are created in the image of God have the potential to be
cured."

Coffee Hour Discusses Eichmann's Importance
The Eichmann trail's purpose is to "make known the doings of the Lord," Rabbi Malino emphatic- ally stated at a Campus Center Coffee Hour last Wednesday. Ma-
lino, who spent last week visiting Alfred, stated that he was not con- cerned with the facts of whether or not Eichmann should have been kidnapped, who has rightful jur- isdiction, or whether the accused will receive the death penalty.
He is concerned with the enor- mity of the crime and those wbo Bay that the account of Jewish suf-
fering is a hoax. Another element of concern is the fact that the world refused to recognize a per- secution issue. The ignoral of min- ority persecution has a horrifying and damaging effect upon the world.
The Rabbi made clear that he believed Eichmann is not the only one on trail. The western world must also be charged with the crimes of lethargy and apathy.
For instance, the United States restricted the imtmigration quota which closed the doors upon mil- lions of Jewish refugees. Tbere is also the crime of the British re- fusal to let Jews settle in Palis- tine. The "White Paper" issued in 1939 state! that only 15,000 Jews a year for a period of no more than five years could be allowed into the country. The lives that could have been saved by an interna- tional Open-door co-operation are innumerable.
'The Rabbi stated his concern for
"the behavior of the Jews to par -allel the highest principles of Ju- diasm. The issue of Tightful juris- diction is difficult to resolve be- cause there are no international courts equipped to handle this sit- uation. He expressed the hope that Eichmann would not receive the death penalty because he believed the taking of a life will not atone for the murder of six million people.

Dr. Sayvetz Named Physics Dep't Head
Dr. Aaron Sayvetz, Professor of Physical Sciences at the Univer- sity of Chicago, has been appoint- ed Professor and 'Chairman of the Department of Physics in the Col- lege of Liberal Arts of Alfred Uni- versity.
He will assume his new post next September after spending the summer in France.
Dr. Sayvetz has written a num- ber of articles on theoretical phys- ios which have been published in scientific journals, and he will con- tinue at Alfred his research on the development of the quantum the- ory.
As a professional educator in- terested in the teaching of phys- ics, Dr. Sayvetz has pulblished ar- ticles on the subject in several journals and has taken part in the production of a motion picture on physics teaching. He is a member of the Commission on the College
Student of the American Council on Education.
A native of Boston, Dr. Say vet»
received his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in physics at the University oi Chicago. He joined the University of Chicago faculty after complet- ing his graduate work. He has been Visiting Professor at the University of Puerto Rico and did advanced research at Harvard Uni- verstiy on. a Ford Foundation grant in 1952-3 and at Massachu- setts Institute of Technology on a National Science Foundation grant in 1959-60.
Dr. Sayvetz is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholastio fraternity, and Sigma Xi, honorary scientific fraternity. In 1948 he received the Quantrell Prize for E x c e l l e n c e in Undergraduate
Teaching at Chicago.
Dr. Sayvetz is married and has two daughters, ages 10 and 13.
Four Faculty Members Allotted Research Funds
The Alfred University Research Foundation has awarded four grants to faculty to support spec- ial projects.
Richard Paarce, instructor in English, received a $600 'grant to make a study of the image of Chicago in the literature of the
1'890's.
A grant of $900 has been award- ed to Dr. Taro Talcahashi, assist- ant professor of geology ,and Dr.
Clifford E. Myers, assistant pro- fessor of chemistry, both of State University of New York 'College of Ceramics at Alfred University.
They will prepare a thermodyna- mic-ohemical analysis of the Framk- lin.Sterling Hill, N J . ore deposits.
The deposits are the only one of their kind 'known to man and are the richest source of zinc ever discovered.
Dr. Frederick C. Engelimann was
awarded a $500 grant 'as addition*
al support for his study of the Austrian Coalition Government. Dr.
Engelmann spent the 1959-60 aca- demic year in his native Austria interviewing most of the leading personalities of political life and reading intensively the newspapers and periodicals of the country. His research abroad was supported by a grant from the Rockefeller Foun- dation and a previous graint from the Alfred University Research Foundation. He is now engaged in writing an evaluataion of the Aus- trian coalition in terms of its im- plications for Austrian democracy and for democracy in general.
Dr. Anna Motto, assistant pro- fessor of classics, received a $400 grant to support completion of her research on Lucius Seneca and for assistance in the editorial work ne- cessary to prepare for publication of a Seneca source book.
Dr. Greenstein Tells Sigma Xi Of Origin of Elements Theory
"Scienticfic study Indicates the making of elements ocurs not only inside of stars but also while stars are condensing from interstellar gas," Dr. Jesse L. Greenstein, pro-
fessor of astrophysics at Califor- nia Institute of Technology, told an audience at Alfred University April 19.
He spoke to members of the Sigma Xi Club, students and fac- ulty on "Stellar Evolution and the Origin of the Chemical Elements."
A member of the Mount Palomar Observatory Staff, Dr. Greenstein said there is evidence proving the existence of "different stages of stellar evolution and the synthe- sis of chemical elements inside the stars." ''Other evidence, he added, indicates that "element synthesis also occurs while stars are condensing, possibly at an epoch when planetary systems are formed." He noted that the
"age of different stellar groups has been found to range from one million to twenty-four billion years."
Dr. Greenstein is noted for his research on the nature of gas and dust in interstellar space and on the early stages of the formation of stars. He received his A.M. and Ph.D. degress at Harvard Univer- sity and served on the faculty of the University of Chicago before going to Caltech.

Library Hours . . . Again!
Here we go again (although this is ouj- first time). It is that time of the year when finals come rolling around again and students and college editors (especially FIAT LUX editors) start wondering if the library will extend its hours.
When this thought comes to mind it is quickly followed by a plea for extended hours during the regular academic semes- ter. For many students living in the "quiet dorms" or "peaceful"
fraternity and sorority houses, the library is the only place that offers the solitude required for study. This is not to forget the fact that many students need more time to use the "adequate"
reference facilities to complete term papers, etc., started else- where.
Realizing that funds are of prime i m p o r t a n c e When contemplating an extension of library hours, we hope we are speaking for the student body when we ask the admin- istration to please give this matter their most careful considera- tion.
J. F. K. and the "Big Stick"
Question of the day: Will a peace settlement in Laos result in a North-South division or Communist membership in a united government? And if so, will this be a welcome compromise to President Kennedy ?
One gets the feeling that J.F.K. feels that he inherited a distasteful situation from the Eisenhower administration and any compromise, short of total capitulation would be a victory.
One senses that he feels that this was not his "mess"; he would rather subject his personal prestige and American national pride on a relatively "new" Democratic enigma, the imminent defense of South Vietnam.
This'line of reasoning has ramifications in the Cuban situ- ation where once again Kennedy and Co., had to carry out an Eisenhower initiated and C.I.A. directed "invasion." It was impossible for him to stop the training and preparation of the counter - revolutionary Cuban forces without destroying the optimistic frame of mind that had evolved among them.
We doubt, though, that J. F. K: would be as "inactive"
during a second "invasion" as he was during the first abortive attempt. This time he would have had a more direct hand 6in the over-all planning. The "big stick" might replace the "little splinter."

by Lynn Begley Jean-Paul Sartre's hatred of big- otry and the doctrine of white supremacy provided a dramatic theme for his original work; but the screen play of "X.a Putain Res- ipecjuause" written by Jacques- Laurent Bost and Alexandre As- true amounted only to an inferior reproduction. The issues of racial
•prejudice and moib mania are not new to the American public. But the story of a woman who believes in the laws of human equality be- ing swayed by subtle "logic" and rank is, I believe, the most rele- vant aspect of the play. Most of us ait Alfred are Northerners, re- moved from the heart of the strug.
gle. We envision a stereo-tyiped,
¡irrational ipeople as ¡instigating barbaric crimes against their fel- low men, and we ask, 'How can they possibly justify their actions morally or legally?" Pressure does it for them. Pressure from stately southern leaders — acting in self- interest.
The musical score of "La Pw- tain Respeotueuse" won first prize in the Venice International Film Festival in 10&2.
¡Barbara Laage, as the prostitute, acted her part well, but the duibbed- in vocies seemed to hinder rather than help the film.
As art, "I/a Putain Respectue- use" was mediocre; as a lesson, extremely enlightening!
A "Pseudo-classical Tragiflarce"
by Arthur IL. Kopit was 'published in I960 by Hill and Wang as a Spotlight Dramabook. "Oh (Dad, Poor Dad, (Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad"
is at once moving and hilarious, the playing of the comic and the serious in counterpoint, tit is the story of a seventeen year old boy kept completely isolated by his mother, Madame Rosepettle, a
woman with a grotesque .philoso- phy oi life, and the pathetic, comic results of his incarceration.
"Oh Dad, Poor Dad," is Kopit's seventh play. He was considered Harvard's most successful under- graduate playwright until his grad- uation in 1959 and during that year had his play "The Questioning of Nick" produced on television.
His disciplined literary fluency was first evidenced in this play.
As his style developed, Kopit in- troduced elements of parody into his work and refined the contem- porary tragicomic form he em- ploys.
"Oh Dad, Poor Dad," the cul- mination of his swift development, was written while he was on a Shaw Traveling Fellowship. It is to ibe produced on Broadway by Roger Xi. Stevens and directed by Jose Ferrer.
Comments
by Stephen Chaleff
Two current newspaper stories focus attention on a prob- lem that the members of the military of any nation must con- front. The two stories are the Eichmann Trail and the alleged efforts of the Commanding General (General Walker) of a divi- sion of the United States Army in Europe to indoctrinate his troop with John Birch Society doctrine. The problem that is raised is this: to what extent must directives be complied with;
that is, is there a point at which a subordinate is morally and or legally bound to questiofn a superior's orders to the extend of deciding whether or not to comply with those orders? Or must orders from a superior always be complied with, regardless of their nature? In answering this question, it should be recogniz- ed that it is disicipline that alflow's military establishments to function as such, and that a nation's military establisment is essential to its security.
I suppose the answer is to a great extend dependent on the nature of the particular society in question. For instance, the limits within which the military can legally operate in a totali- tarian society depends on the whim of the person(s) at the apex
of the society. Thus there is nothing illegal, in such a society, about politically indoctrinating members of the military solely according to the wishes of the veiry small ruling clique. Simi- lar, and perhaps even more significant, is the whol'e moral sys- tem of a society. For instance, there was probably no moral conflict involved for a sincere Nazi in Eichmann's position in the Third Reich. But I cannot conceive of a sincere believer in the complex of Western attitude— the HebraienChiristian tradi-
tion and its humane implications, etc.— operating in the capa- city that Eichmann did.
For me, it is far easier to answer this question of compli- ance within the societal complex of a nation like the United States. Let me illustrate in terms of the two recent newspaper stories that I mentioned in the opening paragraph. Referring to Eichmann, I cannot see even the remotest possibility of a member of the United States military establishment being giv- en an order to carry out a program of genocide. It is incon- ceivable that our national political leaders, from whence such a decision would have to come, would even consider such a course. And referring to the allegations about General Walker, there are legally defined limits to military jurisdiction in this country. Also, our military system has built in safeguards tio insure that these laws are adhered to. Violations are quickly corrected, and violators are duly corrected.
In thinking further about this problem in a totalitarian context, it occurs to me that it is more than probable that in a state where one man or a small clique can rule according to the phrase "L'etat est moi" with complete sanctity, this question is not a problem.
Steinheim Was One-time Feature of AU Campus
Dr. Sass Chosen to Study In Britain
iDr. Daniel Saas, assistant pro- fessor of Geology at Alfred Uni- versity, is one of twenty college and university geology teachers selected to participate in an Inter- national Field Institute during the coming summer.
The Institute, first of its bind sponsored by the American Geolog- ical Institute, will operate under
a grant from the National Science Foundation. Memlbers will study the classic geologic features of the British Isles.
The program is tinder the di- rection of Professor F. T. Rhodes of the University of Wales at Swansea and Professor R. Shaffer of the University of Illinois.
Dr. Sass, a native of Rochester, earned his BA. and MA. in Geol- ogy at the University of Rochester.

(During the reign of President Allen, the Alfred caimpus witnessed the construction of three new buildings, including what is now the nation's second oldest college
museum.
President Allen, according to a later University President, was an "enthusiastic geologist (who) acquired collections from his own geologizing". A place of exhibit
•became necessary after pieces oi the collection were broken and ruined by the carelessness of those who handled them. It was this sit- uation that led to the establish- ment of the Steinheim.
The walls of the Steinheim were up by 1878. In the following year more rooms were added and the very walls themselves ibecame a
"geological museum, being com- posed of thousands of varieties of rock collected from the ice age's debris, and all drawn from within a few miles of the museum's site.
There are three significant stones 'built into the wall of the Steinheim above the front entrance
The window cap is a mill stone from an old mill which stood at the foot of an old glen road to Andover. On that stone rests an- other date •"187'6", the year the Steinheim was begun and also a memorial to that year's graduates.
The other imitl stone bears the date "23", the year the old mill was built and President Allen's birth year.
The Steinheim was opened on March 3, 1879. At the opening, President Allen announced that cash gifts received would be used to purchase statuary for the (build- ing.
Many names were tried on the unique structure. "Stone Castlet of Archeology", "Stone Home", and
"Steinheim" were the three most iseriously considered. Finally, the name "Allen Steinheim Museum"
was given to the structure.
In the 1920's, as a result of the talents and interests of several faculty members, the museum en- joyed ia period of popularity. New gifts were constantly added to the collection. The museum became cultural center of the University as 2,'000 people a year visited it.
Today, this dark and foreboding struction, which Alfred Hitchcock could have made great use of in
"Psycho", still contains remnants of our earlier civilization; yet it spends Its time as a Tefuge for migratory 'birds, as Alfred's Cape Canaveral (many a fire-cracker has been launched from its front
door).
Isn't it aJbout time that the dreams of Alfred's earlier patrons are realized once again?

Karla Turkheimer, Isabel Cymermam CRITICIZES BIRCH ARTICLE Dear Editor:
John Birch (an American Officer, killed in the Orient by Commun- ists), according to a statement a friend of his made to reporters,
•^hated humbug." The ideas ex- pressed by members of the So- ciety, I consider to be humbug. 1 do not believe that President Eisen- hower is a dedicated Communist. I am proud that the Federal Courts bare time and again, 'behind the leadership of Chief Justice Warren, made decisions supporting and ad- vancing democracy in America.
Nor do I accept Mr. Welch's claim that 2000 protestant clergy men and 3000 government workers are
active communists.
However, is the Society getting the feir deal they are entitled to by the First Amendment of The Constitution? Mr. Berger feels that this group Is a "serious problem,"
'and "so dangerous." Othere writers believe that the proper solution Is for Mr. Welch to be Jailed, and the Society broken up and/or investi- gated 'by Congress. These- com- ments, along with Mr, Berger's article, sound like bis "frightened f l a g waver* In Rochester."
The First Amendment, It seems to me, guarantees to all people (even Society members) "freedom of speech, or the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble." If congress were to in- vestigate the Birch Society, it would be just as improper as past Investigation committee activities
(which liberals have claimed to be illegal for fifteen-odd years). Mr.
Mr. Welch ought to be left alone, Just as Pete Seeger (who soon will begin a one year jail sentence for contempt of Congress) should bave been allowed to keep bis beliefs private. The .Society and its mem.
bers have a right to remain un- barrassed by official machinery.
If the Society's nitwit ideas are as wide-spread as Mr. Berger sug- gests, then liberals ought to imves.
tlgate themselves to discover what self-deficiency caused the situa-
tion. The Society must not be bro- ken up by government decree. To
«uote Mr. Patrick Murphy Malin, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, "By defend-
ing the civil liberties of the ex- iremlstis, we also defend the rights of tbe ordinary citizen, like you and me."

DEFENDS ALFRED MOVIE PROGRAMS Dear Editor:
An unsigned letter is usually not worth much attention, but It seems that some tacts about the Campos Theatre that are readily available to anyone wfao take tbe time to
find out were not looked into be- fore last week's letter was sent to
the Fiat Lux.
Each year the Campus Theatre runs close to forty foreign films, twenty of which are British. 'In spite Of the fact that many of them win prizes at foreign film festivals, most of them do not be.
gin to pay their way. The excep- tions to this can be counted by the number of hairs on a bald spot.
In recent years most foreign films are dubbed in English rather than sub-titled. This snake their origin less obvious and makes them acceptable to a broader au- dience (rather than to an audience of broads).
These films are available on 35-mzn film for about three years,
after which they are withdrawn and replaced with classroom size l<6mm prints. Most of them are re- issued only if some small company decides to try them again. These days there is a shortage of shirts as the film companies are out to get the few that are fit to wear.
The Campus Theatre makes it a point to run all films that get any sort of award, even a minor one.
The Campus Center is filling a need by running films a few years after the Campus Theatre has al.
ready played them. These pictures, of course, would be the ones that do not emphasize sex and violence like tbe first three that come to mind — "On the Water Front"
(Peaceful and Serene), "Rosho- mon" rape repeated four times so the audience wont miss it), and
"Respectable Prostitute" (which does not contain an undue amount of violence).
The Campus Theatre (in spite of semi-volunteer employees; bull- din, heat, light, and cleaning do- nated by Little Alf) must take in
$20,000 or so a year to break even (more if-we break the film). This is not hay, nor is it the last straw, but those who criticize should be thankful enough patrons to attend -regularly to pay for the many cut.
tural financial failures.
Suppose an ice cream store sold ninety per cent vanilla and choco- late because of good business kept pistachio on . hand for those who liked It. (Although the color made the other customers sick). Sole- one talks the owner Into "improv- ing" everyone's taste by selling only pistachio. Although sales are good on S t Patrick's Day, the business goes bankrupt. The own- er loses, the vanilla and chocolate
fans lose their favorite flavors, and pistachio gourmets cannot get gills either.
It was better the original way and an ice cream manager with thirty years experience knows it.
Recently a deal for "The Idiot",
"Carry On, Nurse", and Hiroshima Moa Amour" will .bring these three films before exam time to the Campus Theatre. In addition, five of the Bergman Swedish films will be run in the fall. Some may do well, but the average will be a loss.
In conclusion, unless I miss my guess, the original letter writer sees so few pictures that be, she, or it forfeits the right to have a valid opinion.
Ajgaln, let's not print any more unsigned letters. (After this one.) My wife would quit selling tickets if she knew I wrote this.
Tours until the whole world is one nation so there would be no such thing as a foreign film.

Lawrence, Kail. (LP.) For the first time in the history of the Associated Women Students on the campus of the Univer- sity of Kansas senior women living in organized houses may check out a key to the house and remain out past the closing hours established by the AWS Board of Standarls. All it takes is a $1 deposit to pay for the key and parental permission for the senior women to take advantage of the plan.
"This plan is strictly experimental and must be reviewed each semester," Dean of Women Emily Taylor stated. "There will be seniors added to the list each time it is reviewed. We don't expect a tremendous exodus bcause senior women have keys," Dean Taylor commented. "I certainly do not think senior privileges will be abused. If I did, I would not support the plan."
To be eligible for the privileges, the women must have 80 hours and 90 grade points. This officially classifies her as a senior. The stipulations of the new plan are as follows :
Seniors must have written permission of parents to partici- pate in the senior privilege plan. If a "no" is received, an addi- tional letter will allow participation in the program.
Each house must provide a locked k<|y box with a slot for the return of keys. This box will be left with the House Direct- or during the day.
A key may not be secured before 5 p.m. daily or after the house is locked for the night. If a senior leaves earlier than 5 p.m., she must get a key from the House Director.
Each house will designate a senior to check out keys during a predetermined period of time. Hours for key cheek-out must be clearly understood by house members.
On return to her residence, the senior must immediately re- turn the key to the locked key box. Keys may be' counted and checked at any time and must be checked by 8 a.m. daily. No one may enter a house with a key except the senior who has checked it out. Escorts may not step inside the door with the entering senior.
A senior securing a key signs for it by number on a special foftjm, indicating the place where she may be reached after closing, the name of one person who will be with her, and the approximate time she expects to return. Thè senior form must be given to the house director, along with the checked key box on the following morning.

A report is expected shortly from a special committee which has been established to investigate alleged overcharging in the book stores of Alfred.
A committee is currently investigating the question of establishing an Alfred University Debating Team. Dean Gustad has expressed his approval of the committee's goal. In years past Alfred had a debating team which faded into the back- ground and finally into oblivion There is now a chance for Alfred to prove it's worth on an inteleetual and competatative basis.
Lists of films books, speakers, etc. are often,' received through N.S.A. These lists should be of particular interest to language clubs and in the field of Political Science. If you are planning a program and looking for something new, contact John Guiterrez, N.S.A. Coordinator, for lists and Other helpful suggestions from N.S.A.
The Moving Up Day program, sponsored by the Senate, is getting beyond the speculation stage. Dean Gustad has been chosen to be the speaker at the Moving Up Day Assembly. This is of special significance because he is also "moving up" out of Ms first year as a Dean at Alfred TJ. In the afternoon a truck will stop at the dorms and fraternity and sorority houses to pick up any clothing that students wish to contribute to the World Clothing Drive.
A committee has been established to investigate a system of student tutors. This is a big step forwward and will help to raise the scholarship level of this campus. The problems that this committee faces are great but not insurmountable. Students must loose some of their apathy and be willing to learn and willing help others to learn. This is a big order hut it can be filled with the support and encouragement of the entire student body.

¡Last Thursday evening Phi 'Delta Epsilon, national journalism fra- ternity, sponsored a deibate on
"The Status of Freedom in the Press Today". Participating as
•members of the faculty panel were Dr. Luke Smith, Chairman of the Sociology Department; Professor Henry Langer of the Economics Department; Dr. Frederick Engel- mann of the Political Science Dr- partment; and Dr. David Leach of the History Department. Dr. An- derson, Counselor of the Psycholo.
gy Department, acted as modera- tors.
According to the predetermined format each panel member intro- duced his outlook and views in an opening statement.
Prof .Danger 'began by stating that a "democracy demands an in- formed populace", so that the first obligation of the press it to pro- vide the "facts". He viewed with alarm the tendency of today's prees to "stack" the facts and illus-
trated his point with examples from "here at home" — .the Fiat Lux. >He stated that the Fiat "fails quite miserably" in fulfilling its
obligations via incorrect state- ments, misstatements and left out (material.
Dr. Luke Smith predicted his view of the issue on an entirely different basis. He pointed to the futility of trying to measure exist- ing institutions such as the press from an absolute and idealistic model and coming up with any- thing tout a pessimistic view. In- stead one should use a historical outlook with a relative scale to see both where we have come from and what stage of development we are now in as far as freedom of the press is concerned. He views the present stage as dominated toy the development of a professianal.
ized press and that questions of freedom should be examined in the context of this.
Dr. Frederick Engelmann treated the question from the point of news coverage and presentation within the United States. It was his view that "we cannot expect the reporter to toe unbiased" com- pletely, but that this goal is ap- proximated more in national then international news. To overcome bias we have available original

speeches, and the aid of a two par- ty system. However, the danger is in ' the more subtle means of ex.
pressing bias such as exculsion, placement, .layout, rather than, placement in the editorial sections, where such expressions properly toelong.
Dr. iDavid Leach saw his col- leagues as having raised tw<v issues — that of responsibility a»
well as freedom of the press. It was his position that there is in herent in free press a degree ot irreponsibility due to the neces- sity tfor selection. The process ol selection "involves the matter ot bias.'" He also emphasized that
"We as American have more ao.
cess to informative material from our government then any othet people in the iworld".
In the discission among the members of the panel that follow ed, Dr. Smith .brought up the point that what a democracy needs is a press that recognizes our strati fied society by providing accurate information to the decision mak- ers, and practical information to the masses. Dr. Engelmann refuted this point and stressed instead that what is needed is information
of greater quality for the masses.
Dr. Leach stressed the importance of accessibility to various sources other than those that agree with his basic biases. He believes thé press of today to toe less biased then that of the past. Prof. Langer pointed to his concern over the everyday reporter who often fails to provide the new« necessary to the average person to conduct his business. He once again used the Fiat as his illustration. Dr. Leach, Dr. Smith and Prof. Langer then all alluded to the factor of human frailty as one cause of errors. Dr.
Smith then included comments at.
tacking the type of material pre- sented by "Time Magazine" as vicious in that it presents a false sense of intellectualism to the in.«
tellectuals and decision makers.
Dr. Anderson summed up the arguments that had been raised and then threw the discussion open to questions from the audience.
Before this was done however Neal Gantcher, the new editor-in- chief of the .Fiat, presented defense in behalf of the staff of the paper and Its recent re.vamping at- tempts. He stressed .two points;
that the Fiat is the effort of stu- dents; that .the members of the Fiat are and will at all .times be open to constructive criticism from
students, faculty and Fiat Advisors.
In the ensuing discussion, num.
erous additional questions and is- sues were raised. These included the problem of giving the public what it wants; and the problem of control (by advertisers and own- ers. The relationship of area of (the country to the extent of press freedom wtae seen as a possible varying factor by Dr. Engelmann and Dr. Leach.

Alfred University built a Campus Center for the recrea- tional activities of the students; this was a wonderful project, but entirely overlooked for many years has been one of the greatest needs of Alfred, a new fieldhouse. I am not criticizing the construction of the Union; I am just trying to bring out that the redreational needs of the students have not been sat- isfied. Take a walk to the Men's Gym on a Saturday morning.
You will see over a hundred and fifty students trying to util- ize the facilities. This is impossible. A new fieldhouse with a swimming pool, would be the greatest project the University could undertake. Intramurals could be played in the present Gymnasium, while simultaneously going on in the fieldhouse could be varsity athletic events.
In addition, our intercoliegiate athletic program could prosper. President Kennedy time and again has stressed the im- portance of health education. Speaking from a standpoint of fa- cilities, only two colleges on our schedule have as poor a setup as we; Hbbart and Ithaca. The former has made concrete plans for the construction of a fieldhouse. An Alfred University ath- lete should be given an opportunity to play with pride. At the Alfred-Syracuse basketball game a number of Syracuse varsity were sitting behind me during the Freshman contest*. The con- versation ran along the lines of "Well, maybe we'll win, but wh'o wants to play in a bam." Granted we are not as big a college as Syracuse, but we are definitely as small a college as Buffalo State and Uunion.
I realize that it is quite difficult for a college to raise funds for buildings, but a fieldhouse is greatly needed. I would like to see it given top priority on the list of University buildings.
Golfers Lose To Ithaca

The Austrailian contingent should have no difficulty in retain- ing their championship. "Why doesn't the USLTA wise up and lead the way for open tennis ? By restricting the top tourneys to the amateurs, both the fans and the players are suffering.
Gonzales, Trabert, and Olmedo for the United States, and Roser wall, Hoad, and Sedgeman of Australia, would do a lot to give the tournaments the necessary shot-in-the-arm.
