by David A. Smith

¡Appearing last Friday eventing In the Alfred University gym an a temporary platform higfhligiht- ed by its wrinkled maroon back- drop and its torn, green skint, tihe famed piano duo, Richard end John Conitigniiglia, entihiusias- tioaily demonstrated to an atten- tive audience that there cam be a permanence in tihe art oi per- forming fine music an such a Structure.

To launch tlhear dynamic and intellectual program, tlhie twin pianists chose it/hie connected, although invo&ved motive®,, firom Bach's Concerto in C Major.

From their first, magical eye contact, to t/heir final, precise band release, the a/rttistS drama- tized unity witih something beyond (the inscribed emlbellish- men-ts and fugal arrangements twlhiich characterized this Baroque piece.

, Drastically changing the musi- cal mood, tihe artists lulled the public by the Romantic versatili- ty in a series of four Etudes in Canon Form originalGy written

<by Schumann for one piano but actuailly enhanced by Debussy

when he completed tlhie diuo-piano score.

Mystical capacity A aeries of luish resolutions, culminated' by a breathless tom- al fading, assured the listeners of the performers' mystical capacity to relate with these sensi- tive compositions.

At tihe mid-point in tihe performance, the enchanting pianists mastered the pulsating fury of a Tarantella developed by the twentieth century c o m p o s e r , Rachmaninoff.

While facial expressions and rhythmical body movements por- traved tihe performers' acute con- centration, , strong, virulent fin- gers 'stressed the accelerating frenzy induced in this feverish Italian dance.

•Once again, antiplhonal tlheme3 created an intense magnificence

•which challenged tlhie spell-cast audience to interrupt with spon- taneous applause.

Dynamics of Brahms Following tihe intermission, tlhie Chora1!« sonority in a theme of Haydin variated by thie synco- pated rhythms and flexible dynamics of Brtalhms represented a

true Neo-classical work.

Although the central theme often appears in orchestral form, ti\e dualists provided an accurate statement of prominent phrases and couiterpoints.

Introduced by it modem vamp motive, Bartok's Suite for Two Pianos concluded 'tihe program

•with rich variations amd stimu- iai'iig pianistic techniques dis- persed among the listeners.

However, tihe free, emotive de- portment of the players did somewhat distort tihe valid significance of the contrasting modes in this selection.

Continuing in this spirit, the pianist® presented Ba/rtcdk'j Ml- crocomos in Bulgarian rhythm as their demanded encore.

No doubt, 'the most impressive perfection of tihe concert wa>3 the mesmerizing control the artists' bands held over the keyboards With the matsive, "pressed out"

tone of the Bach Adagio and uie skiBiraering, delicate tgtiseando of the Barttok Allegro, both musi- cians exemplified the genuine calibre and precise, artistic interpretation wihlch pervaded tihe ei>tdre performance.

The Contiguglias accept the audience's ovation after theiir concert on Friday night.

Library announces annual competition:

student book collections to be judged

by Tad Powers

For the fourth consecutive year, Alfred University's seniors and freshmen will have an oppor-

tunity to compete for the annual Mary Goff Crawford Student Per- sonal Library Awards. The award program enables '3tudents with conscientiously assembled private libraries to gain recognition for their efforts.

The initiation of the competition in 1964 was encouraged by Alfred's Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Finla Crawford.

The program was dedicated to the memory of Mary Goff Craw- ford. Dr. Crawford's mother and an Alfred University student from 1878 to 1880. Mary Crawford stim- ulated and guided her son's In-

terest In literature, and In her honor, he annually donates the monetary awards.

Alfred's competition is similar to successful library award programs at such schools as Syra- cuse University, Wellesley Col- lege, Wells College, and Bucknell University.

Contest rules

Award are presented according to the library's merit as a general collection, a special collection, or a collection of the works of an author or group of authors.

Intelligent interest, a knowledge of the books collected, and 3Cope and imagination In collecting are expected of all competitors. The winnine senior will receive $50, second ¡place senior $15, and win.

No chance for Fiat, Lucadamo still chief

ning freshman $151.

An award committee consisting of the chairman of the Faculty- Library Commltotee and two faculty members will Inspect each library, which must be assembled on campus amd include a mini- mum of 3-5 books.

All entrants must file a form, available from the librarian, by January 16. Libraries will be in- spected on March 19, 20 and 21.

Awards will be published and presented at the annual Alfred University Honors Convocation on April 27.

Winners of the Mary Goff Craw ford Private Library Award, arc eligible to win the $1,000 nation-1 Loveman Award for the best-student library.

Still un- answered is tihe question: why would anyone want to emulate Howie Paster anyway?

John Lucadamo, son of Ulys- ses, and vainly attempting to re- tain his statue a« junior English major, was allowed to remain

editor since no omie understands enough of what he is doing to criticize his ability.

Managing editor Mark Moyles returned from Bristol Mountain just long enough to maintain his position against an attempted coup. Moyles promises to redeem his phantom performance by standing before tihe Fiat's win- dow for forty days and nights writing obituaries amd want adì.

Judiciary organizes, elects two officials

by Dave Johnson

Roger Auerbach was elected chief justice, and Jim Halley scribe at the-fiTst meeting of the recently organized Men'® Judici- ary.

Auenbach, wfho also serves as Semite vice-jresident, is a junior political science major from May- wood, N.J. Haffley is a sophomore liberal arts student from Vestal, N.Y.

The court should now be ready to function, whenever the need arises. According to its constitu- tion the Judiciary will handle all case? recommended to it by the dean of students .

In a Fiat interview, Dean Paul F. Powers emphasized that each case must be judged individually.

However, he expects that most cases will be sent to the Judici-

ary unless be deems them to be of such a personal or unusual na- ture that they should be handled by the more private Student Con- duct Board.

The Judiciary has the const!to- tiornal power to levy punishments up to, and including recommend- ation that a student be dismissed from school.

Dean Powers said that he sees mo reason why he sbouM ever ihave to overrule a decision made after the Judiciary has carefully

considered it.

The dean emphasized, however, that any student may appeal a decision made by him to the Men's Judiciary, or likewise, appeal a Judiciary decision to the Student Conduct Board, which i s the University's "supreme court."

Mr. Kenneth Armstrong, a man welkaoquainlted with the situation in Southeast Asia, discussed the "secret" war in Thailand last Monday evening.

A small group of students man- aged to ffind out about it in upite of the "secret" the Senate appar- ently tried to make of the program.

Armstrong began by comment- Ins that the war is hardly a secret to the people of Thailand.

He stated 'that raids have been going on in Thailand for some time and that the situation is de- teriorating yearly as the North Vietnamese attempt to cneaite a second front.

Thailand agressive He stated that Thailand, "the only nation in southeast Asia that was never a colonial appen- dage, has been an agressive nation as she has widened her bor- ders."

He called the Thais our firm- est allies in southeast Asia, but added that 'they're running their own show" and that they "bend Tery easily."

'While showing a film, Arm-

strong further discussed the situation in Thailand. He said that the gneriCla problem is greatest in the northeast—the area near- est bo Viet Nam and China.

Fifth column

He explained that many Viet- namese live in this area of Thai- land. Most of these people, ail- though they have lived in Thai- land tor as long as twenty years, are loyal to Ho Chi Minh, pro- viding a built-in fifth column.

Armstrong commented Ithat although the Thais are devout Bud- dism — a pacifist religion—this has not prevented them from miC- itaristically defending their inde- pendence.

Much of the film ooncemed the work of the mobile development units. These units, staffed by Thais with an American advisor, ore a sort of Thai anti-poverty program. Their first concern as they enter a village is usually to povide safe drinking water and water for irrigation.

Armstrong praised the program, adding that it answers the sort of problems of the people that the Communists often emphasize.

F-C1MS

by Nancy Risser Contemporary trends in ceramics was the theme of a lecture and series of slides presented by Mr. Roibert Turner, a professor of senior pottery in the Col- lege of Ceramics. Subject 3 of thfese slides wiere various piece»

of pottery and other ceramic art

®rom numerous shows and art ex- hibitions which he attended last year during his sabbatical Leave.

Among the artists represented were several Alfred alumni

Current trends in the ceramic arts are in several direction®. Es- pecially dominant in many areas is an increase in size and scale.

Many artists arte increasingly rep- lying on the bizarre, decorative, [baroque or exotic types.

Bright colors prevail Coloring thiat is strong and 1

bright is prevalent. Ths effect is achieved by the use of low fired glazes. Extremely plastic use of medium is predominant.

Potters, Turner stated, are making comments on the world they see around them. Since they often see life as a series of para- doxes, the juxtaposition is important in many works. Many

potters have been handling the surface differently, using rich and unique forms of texture to reflect real textures.

Abstract not accldient The strength of abstract form also reflects current philosophy and one should not feel that the reason behind abstract shapes is completely accidental. Many artists are much involved in par- ticular statement of a concept in their mode of potting.

Sculpture Itself cannot support a person. Turner pointed out.

Therefore, the artist must look for smother channel "" fo his tal-'.

ents.

One possibility is architecture.

Sculpture may be designed on ? larger scale for use in this field.

Large ceramic plants in Los An- geles and elsewhere also employ several ceramic designers' on a full or part ttaie basis.

A final solution used* by some ceramic designers is to design and make simple functional pottery that can be duplicated and sold through catalogues around the country.

When viewing pottery, one

"looks, sees, enjoys, and won-

ders." Questions that could be aaked to evaluate better this type of art are: "Does it say what it Mittende to say?" "Ss the intern- ment valid according to the cur*

rent state of society?" "to the designer's intention well express-

ed in the meldium and in its power?"

Is "Pop" art art?

Oamaniemting on whalt (the public often tennis "Pop" art, Turner explained how he would evaluate it. Often people ask the ques-

tion "Is this ant?"

Turner feels that the preced- ing is not a valid question of you react to the situation with some significance. Reflecting contemporary society, current methods of expression may take one beyond what has been the usual or normal use of material.

Turner ended his talk by pre- senting some of his own works.

Answering the question of whether he predesigned or whether he let articles shape themselves, Turner explained that he usual*

ly started with an idea of scale and proportion, but ithat he allowed the article to reach its final shape at the wheel.

Problems of Japanese industry related to archaic traditions

by Mary Wayman Dr. Erwin H. Johnson, assistant professor of anthropology at the State University of New York at Buffalo, spoke last Tuesday nigfhit at Hotwieill Hall to a student and faculty group on Japan.

The lecture concerned the ini- tiative behind and the size of thie Japanese labor force.

The biggest question behind the Japanese industrialization movement is, according to Johnsn,

"Why, when ia nation is given a complete technology,, competent technicians, and interest and support by an outside affluent power, does it fail to develop? Which of these factors cause inhibition of development?"

Slow economic growth The Japanese Gross .National Product has only doubled in the

last ten ye(ars. This is, however, not a significant number, because of the smallness of the G.N.P.

prior to the last ten years.

Johnson says that the Ameri- can government has not only given the Japanese technical as- . sistance, but has tried to force them to use it under the "What we have done, Others must do"

policy. In other words, the government expects the industrial revolution to occur in Japan as it did in America; but the Jap- anese, on their only 15% aer- able land have no room for "cow- boys and Indians out West and big-city merchants Iback East."

Limited raw materials Most of the big industry Is concentrated into r|aw materials to export, and the Japanese have only a limited amount to renew

column is soon to expand to a full page in the coming semester in order to permit more complete coverage of Senate activities.

Irwin Srob was reelected business manager, despite persistent rumors that he has embezzled an estimated $3,>652.71 from the Fiat by padding phone bills.

In recognition of the fine Job which Karen Friberg has done In writing those little stories that no one reads, she was pro- moted to news editor. Karen stated that, in keeping with Flat tradition, all University news re- leases will be retyped before they are sent to the Alfred Sun.

Dan Bloom, Junior English ma- Jir from New York City, crawled out of the library to fill the feature editor's post, vacant since John Lucadamo was transferred to the Fiat's editorship on the theory that a bad editorial will

probably be shorter than a ibad feature story.

Dr. Johnson suggests that the American Government separate those two aspects of development which are critical from those which are only a part of tradition.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR President':

Understanding of policy

^^ I # by Robert M. Mendel

^is ^evasive,

seen as American's duty

To the Editor:

I hav« been disturbed by the recent letters "by Mir. Pic us and Mr. Breen. The two letters by Mr. Pious pointed out the great challenge to the American people presented by tihe wiar in Viet- nam but I cannot accept his answer to it.

Mir. Breen's "idetfense of Amer- ica" was even more disturbing to me. His "any ooutry rigflrt or (wrong attitude, results in a hand- ful of people supplying tihe goiC direotion for tihe system. This is dangerous.

Duty to understand

•It is the diuty of every Aatueri- can, as well as tihe right, to understand and question tihe poli- cies of his couitry. This is requisite for tihe functioning-of a democracy.

I believe that some form of democratic rule is beat fitting the betterment and dignity of a human toeing. But in order to allow tihis isystem of government to take place in a country, we have found it necessary to fight off aggression.

In our desire to help raise the people of the world out of poverty, we have flound it necessary to Mil. Is tihe price worth it? Ana any methods acceptable . i n achieving this end? This is what every American mmsli ¡himself de- cide.

Vietnam war wrong I believe that the war in Viet- nam Is wrong. We are fighting tor a government not suipptorted

•by the people and in fighting we

•hiring death and destruction to those people. The method» we are employing ore contradictory to our primary aim of 'helping the people. We, through neces- sity and desire to spread the

Alfred social code denies naturql sex

To the Editor:

I am afraid your fairy Ifcale log- ically carried out would involve tedious illegal complications. as in case of girls admitted to men's domiciles who are under the age of legal consent, since our archaic codes, . fortunately, do not recognize that sex is natural, healthy and proper.

Certain unexpected situations would also necessitate discrete financial arrangements to nul- lify (?) the outraged Victorian parents of an enlightened young lady. lit is unreasonable to expect the college to subsidize the het- erosexual accidents of its student body.

In addition, the University, (would, no doubt, feel compelled to construct another dormitory probably named "Out of Wedlock Hall" to house the illegitimate offspring of our alumni.

And although these babies may (be expected to comprise future classea at Alfred, because of the Increasing number of applicants In the next few years (the post

democratic way, have taken the moral obligation of policing the world.

This Obligation has resulted in the death of thousands of people. Too many innocent lives are being losit.

Picus' attitude extreme Mr. Pious feels that the wiar in Vietnam is wrong and any action associated with it is therefore wrong. This is too extreme an attitude, extreme in that it gives no method of action except to give uip what so many lives have been wasted in attempting

¡to achieve, the betterment of mankind.

Mr. Bneen feels that since the United States' intention is right, its methods must be right. This unquestioning attitude is what gave Hitler Ihis power.

Without individual questioning, It. is only an accident that keepo us on the path of justice and not the path of terror. A democracy cannot exist with this unquestioning attitude.

Dissent Is Imperative Dissent keeps the system from moving to extremes. It is the voice of the (people, beard in dissent as well as affirmation that keeps as this country'» primary (purpose, the dignity of the individual.

The individual that rests on

either complete dissent or complete acceptance is not fulfilling his right and duty as an Ameri- can. i

The individual American must find a way to serve his country in a war that is in keeping with what he ibellieves. The American system is designed so that it ex- presses the will of the people.

He who refuses to express his (beliefs is only harming himself, and his country. If an individuafl deems an action as wrong, he must ask himself what he can do to help make 'the situation right.

Complete removal of oneseCf from that action is sometimes necessary. But I feel that there must he a more productive way.

Search for imorality Believing as I do that the war in Vietnam is wrong does not mean that I must refuse to he is-ent there. I must ask the question, "Can I do as ordered and still be true to what I believe?"

lit is my right and duty It» Ameri- ca to search to find a way to do what I feel to be morally right.

If I refuse this challenge, I am not only denying my dignity as a human being, but am destroying the very thing that has made our country great.

TOUT® faithfully, Thomas A. Gizara

Bauer tears Picus:

more fallacies' found

To the editor:

I have always enjoyed a de- bate and a challenge even though Howard Picus offers neither. Of course, this is a hasty conclusion.

So, let us nee why Mr. ¡Pious offers no delbate or a challenge.

First of all, assume that de- bate is used in the context such that one must convert me to another's way of thinking. Oh, I have considered the opposed arguc rnent; and I find these fallacies:

Picus' reasoning specious In your letter, Mr. Picus, which was published in the Fiat Lux, Dec. 6, issue, you Stated: "I could not in the name of humanity, attend a ceremony for Amer- icans dying for an unjust cause

(Vietnam War); an inhumane cause."

And you gave two reasons w|hy the Vietnam War is an "unjust cause." I quote you: "We are murdering a country, murdering Jn the name of liberty, under the ilusión off aniti - communism."

And I ask you, Mr. Picus: Is communism a delusion? Is communism a fantastic fairy tale some small child imagined in his dream? I've been of the oipinion that communism is non-fiction;

Sit is real.

No delusion

So,, is ainti-communism a delusion? No, anti-communism is not a delusion, and more specifically nor is amti-commminisim a delusion in South Vietnam. And are we " . . . murdering in the name of liberty . . .?" I don't think so.

If communism is real, democracy must be protected from ad- vancing and expanding systems of government which wish to su- press a tree choice in the way of life.

Pyrrhic victory

just oause" was: "We cannot obliterate humanity and then say,

•Well, we accomplished one thing, we've saved it.' Yes, at a most exorbitant price:x humanity." Well, I must say one thing, at least you know why war Is such a dreadful endeavor.

But once again, Mr. Picus, the

"it" in your statement does not refer to humanity since we are in Vietnam to >save democracy amd its related system® of governing people and not to obliterate humanity but to repel communism.

Much to my dismay, you did not give any reasons why you felt the Vietnam War was an

"unjust oause" when your second letter was published in the Jan.

10 issue of the Fiat Lux.

World War I and World War .in were fought because a system of government wished to domin- ate more territory than what was its rightful share. These systems wiere suppressed thank- fully.

A new system of government has appeared and is appearing in places wiherever turmoil and con- fusion exist. It is evident what this system is»—communism; but yet we have not had an all out war with the system.

Isolationism dangerous

¡Prior to each world war most nations had an isolation policy.

This policy would be extremely dangerous today If a review of history and its implications before both world wars were taken into account.

And ask yourself, "What nation has the 'strength and power, to have the most dominant role in anti-isolation?" France surely did not.

The war in Vietnam iS, Of course, costly and ultimately a severe strain on the American

¡budget, but so is the idealism re- sponsible for Johnson's Great Society programs.

The proposal for this surtax seems to be disguised behind a nationalistic, patriotic, and maw- kish appeal to the American people and the legislators. In the context of the Stalte of the Union message, financial stress Is pre-

Domestic Issues

The first 'half of the message refers specifically to issues such as the war on poverty, prevent- ion of crime and educational as»

isiatian.ce; all rather expensive Stem«.

To "ensure domestic tranquil- ity," Johnson's administration will ultimately require! more funds than are needed to finance the Vietnam war. Our ¡President neglects to inform the American people of this point, but stresses that the 4.5 billion dollars which wilt be collected is solely for the alleviation of expenses created by the war.

Johnson stressed that most of his new proposals would not involve large expenditures by the Federal government. This statement itself is nebulous besides being rather questionable.

By reading ithe State of the Union message it isn't too dif- ficult to ascertain that his (proposals are too numerous and sophisticated not to require con- siderable finance.

Men's Judiciary

Now that the Men's Judiciary has met and elected its ne- cessary officers, all that remains is for it to hear its first ease.

Certainly it is regrettable that AÍfred needs such a body to mete out punishment for infractions such as vandalism. Will- ful destruction of property has no place in the University community. It seems somewhat puerile. Yet since some must persist in childish ways, the Men's Judiciary is a necessary evil.

In an earlier editorial we suggested that possibly the Judiciary could be the first step in the escalation of student responsibility.

We still believe this to be the case and hope that the Men's Judiciary will become a viable force.

Empathy necessary

FIAT LUX

Examination of war guilt, world survival stressed

In an article which appears in the latest American Scho- lar, psychologist Kenneth Clark posits the thesis that the American university is a moral wasteland.

He negates the relativistic morality which is in vogue today. Furthermore, Clark finds fault with the detached, sci- entific 'approach tq morality. How can someone, he writes, look at a sick child without the intent to alleviate his suffer- ing? Or, he continues, how can a slum be viewed objectively?

His solution to man's isolation from others is empathy.

That is, the identification with another person's sorrows and joys. He stresses the need for human compassion, to protest in- justices and endeavor to alleviate their causes. The Christian agape k close to what Clark advocates.

All to»., often those who are esconced in college lose sight of the rest of society where injustice is the rule not the ex- ception. We should not fojrget that we are part of the larger world.

There is a new organization on the Alfred campus which seeks to promulgate the above views. The Student Volunteer Welfare Organization is trying to make Alfred University an integral part of the surrounding community morally.

We cannot afford to make an island of ourselves. We can- not morally isolate ourselves from the rest of the community.

As human beings we must strive to be warmer. To appre- ciate and understand the other person is the goal towards which we should move. Idealistic or not, we should attempt to be compassionate and just. We must make ourselves more aware of others.

The Christian doctrine of forgiveness tails us to love our enemy. However, wfhen asked how many time® one is to grant forgiveness, Christ answered seven time« seventy or 4S0.

Forgiveness not Infinite I am in no way one who be- lieves in a litenal rendering of any works like the Bible, yet Itihere i.3 not an infinite amount

of forgiveness asked to be grant- ed.

To have said, "All the time,"

clearly is far in meaning from the number 490. Since most of itfhe pa/rties in the question of forgiveness are Christian, the point I make is important.

Tlhe Bible doe3 not compel one to forgive infinitely.' Certainly, the crimes of the last war nuim- Iber more than 4®0 and in fact

There is no distinction really made between forgiving and roi- geting. But can we allow oursel- ve3 to forget?

We should remember "ot to punish the • guilty continually, 'but not to forget what man can do to himself. To forget the tor- ture® and sadistic experiments is the first step in helping them to happen again. We cannot allow ouirseCnres to forget and if

this means the suspension of magnanimous forgiving, so be it.

This question of forgiveness' has yet another facet Forgive iwhom? We begin at the top of

the list with Hitler and Httmim- ler downward into vague offend- ers.

The guilt become® a haze upon a nation, upon those who lived

during the war and committed at least the sin of compliance and upon those born afterward who, we miust say, are guilty of a kind of original sin.

This is unjust and injustice is

•something we seek to avoid.

Kaither than pin some vague guilt upon quitter 3, we moist look"' tor another alternative. After aft, wihat do we mean to do by label- ing people'as guilty? Do we hope to keep them under subjection with Imposed indemnities? I think not.

If we should not forgive and incessant general condemnation i® unjust, we moist find another

attitude. Remembering Ttfhat oc- curred in Europe in those years is something apart from Canning

That is tlhie way with most of us; we have survived other se- mesters; we will survive this one.

This should be a tame to ooro- eider whether we wene changed fey whatever happened to all of us since September. We should not have begun this semester

I am prepared to give my lifle in their defense."

And the sixth article states:

Ruahees will be instructed on the tormal rules, and will purchase the IFC rush booklet required for participation.

In commenting on the rush, Strong stated that rushees msst visit at least four fraternities and have their booklets stamped at each to be eligible to pledge.

Men with under a 1.7 index may rush the first weejk only, in order to obtain the necessary fraternity stamps. Men with a 2.0

rush the entire three

Emphasizing the importance 0f objectivity, Strong said that the rushees should visit all. the fraternities in an attempt to imadt members on a casual basis. Rsh- ees will receive invitations to the various hoses in the mall, continued Strong.

The program has been set up so that the rushees' time wdll be divided equally among the Biz houses. At the end of the three week period, the rushes visits on preferential night the fraternity he wishes to join.

Strong concluded by saying that during the rush period the fraternities will be going all out to give the rushee» an accurate

•picture of fraternity life, and ex- pressed hope that the ruahees will take advantage of that opportunity.

Powell's own arrogance causes his punishment

by Robert Johnson Adam CGayton Powell is perhaps the most notorious lawmak- er that has ever sat In, the House of Repra&enitativea. He'® embezzled tax-payer's money, made a mockery of tlhe very law® he

¡helped create and defied the judiciary system that is the foura>- datdon of our democracy.

Actions unjustifiable Powell's actions can never be justified and even though tlhe Bins of some of the other mem- bers of Congress make Powell's transgressions look like a school- boy's pranks, doing whaJt every- one else doe® is no excuse.

It seems that Powell's grossest error is his veracity; it Is per- fectly acceptable in today's political society Cor public officials

to cheat and «teal. It is only required that they don't tell any- body and keep it aill in the Con- gressional family.

Arrogance is forte

Unfortunately, Congressman Powell's character depends on his arrogance and straight-tfor- 'wardneee in not hiding his Con- gressional crimes.

Such a violation of the Oon- gresional "honor" code could not be allowed, thus Adam Powell had to be punished.

Justification is required for time spent on finals

About right now mbsit s>tiudenits are asking themselves, if they

can spare the time, ""What the hell am I doing?" Finals are only a week away and I've got 1793 irrelevant names, dates and for- mulas to memorize: are final exams reaiily justifiable?

In the flirsit place, the average situdemt has probabl y sip eut between fifty and one hundred hours over the last five months in class folr each course, and a similar amount of study time outside of class.

Should a two hour examination be thé most important measure of what this student has accomplished?

Perhaps even more important is the hiuge amount of time which final examinations c o n s u m e . About two weeks each a em ester, or a month each year is sched- uled for study and teat day®.

Fully one seventh of a student's academic career is apent in this ancient ritual.

If the two weeks of finals were
