Marat/Sade To Use Geodesic Dome
wmw ooo
At the opening of school, the drama department faced a major obstacle concerning play production. It became apparent that since Alumni Hall was going to be condemned, the University Players would have to find a new home for their theatrical productions. The major play of the season, Marat-Sade, will be presented in the new theatra at South Hall.
For Marat-Sade a geodesic dome has been constructed so that it will encompass the stage. A geodesic dome is made up entirely of equilateral triangles. It is 30 feet in diameter and 15 feet in height.
In relation to the play, the dome

is an extension of the traditional Marat-Sade stage. In former productions of the play the stage has been offset from the audience by either fences of pies. This geodesic dome is a truly unique and exciting concept in theatre.
The audience will be sitting within a radius of 300 degrees and nor further than 20 feet from the stage. This type of staging will create a more intimate relation- ship between the audience and the actors.
The dome was desined by Ken Hankins and built by Charlie Bloomquist, Geoff Chanin, Pat Kelly and Peter Keenan.
The paper, scheduled for presentation November 11, was co- authored by William D. Chirchill, a former Alfred professor currently on the faculty of Arizona State University.

ALFRED SCREW Dear Editor,
Last year I transferred here as a sophomore to the University. I remember walking past the new ceramic building and seeing the words, painted on the boards around the building, "The Alfred Screw." Up till this day I wondered what its meaning really was, but now I think I've experienced it.
When I came here in the fall, last year, the first thing I did was go to the registrar and find out if my transfer credits they told me they were going to give still stood the same. They told me when I was interviewed I would receive 38'A hours of transfer credits and that's what the registrar had on record last fall. These transfer credits were never on my final record when I saw them that fall. I asked the registrar when they would be put on my final record and they said probably in the spring. That spring I went back to them and they still had not been put on my final records. So all last year I assumed I had 38'A hours and filled my schedule out accordingly.
Normally, because these hours are more than average, I took less than a normal load my sophomore year.
This fall when I came back to school I again went to the registrar's office to see if my transfer credits were put on my final record. To my amazement they were finally put on, but my transfew credits read 29 and one- VANDALISM
The occupants of Carnegie Hall seem to be oblivious to a situation on campus which is deteriorating rapidly. The problem of campus security is not a new one. It is just greater this year than ever before.
Since September, Ade Hall has been broken into twice, a suite has been ransacked, and windows broken in the dorms to name a few instances. The University security system is one man who can not be in all places at all times. Van- dalism takes place because people know there is virtually no chance of being caught.
It is a pretty sad state of affairs when people have to start locking
Students who wish to serve on the 1972-73 staff of the Student Handbook should kave their names at the Student Affairs Office, or contact Harry Steinway, Residence Coor- dinator at Tefft Hall, 871-2237, by'November 15.
third instead of 38V4, almost a semester worth of work less. The reason they told me my transfer credits were less is because they re-evaluated them due to the fact they figured them out wrong the first time.,
So now I am part of the 5-year program at Alfred for business majors. At this school I pay about
$4000 year in which part of this is the pay for the administration of the school in which the registrar is included. Supposedly the ad- ministration is either working with the students or for the students. In the school catalog it says, "Alfred University offerings may best serve the needs of the students." It would be my feeling that when the registrar evaluated credits he does it right the first time. There should not be a second time. Thousand dollar bills don't grow on trees.
So now I am part of the elite group called "The Alfred Screw." I thank the registrar, because I will be proud "to stay here an extra semester to finish my college education because Alfred is the type of school functioning for the students' benefit. A word of warning for the rest of the transfer students. You too may be part of this elite group and if you are not sure, go to the registrar, for he has applications for membership.

their dorm rooms when they're just going across the hall. To prevent the theft of furniture there is talk in the men's dorms of locking the outer doors at night.
Mr. Heywood said in his recent interview that the students did not want a security force. This might have been true three years ago but as" they say "the times are a changing," and Alfred is changing with them.
It seems to me that the only way to get action from the ad- ministration is to alert the trustees and alumni to the problem. When you take problems to the source of funds it's amazing the action you get. Too bad news of theft and vandalism don't make it into the alumni newspaper.
Granted, Alfred should not need a security force but the way things have been goingthe first seven weeks of school, there is a need and it should be given priority.

ALUMNI HALL
From the President's Office:
During the past summer the architectural consulting firm of Wood and Tower made a detailed study of Alumni Hall. They con- cluded that the building constituted
"Dangerous occupancy" because of extreme fire hazard.
Under these circumstances, I have directed that Alumni Hall be closed effective November 1, 1971.
By that date the Alumni Hall Classrooms and auditorium will be secured. The danger attendant on heavily attended public events in the building will then be eliminated. The few CPC events
\ scheduled for Alumni Hall will be relocated. Drama activities (in- cluding rehearsals) are being shifted to South Hall gym, until such time as the new Ceramic auditorium is available. The Nevins Cinema will be shifted to the PE Center. The few faculty who occupy Alumni Hall offices will be moved to other quarters not later than summer, 1972. Mean- while, such faculty are urgently requested to aVoid any type of smoking in the building. Safety Director Meacham will be responsible for monitoring the situation.
May I take this opportunity to thank all those who are being in- convenienced by this development.
Their understanding of the necessity for these decisions, and their prompt cooperation, is deeply appreciated.
The Alumni Hall is being closed in the interest of community welfare. That decision is not in- tended to preclude any recom- mendation from the Master Plan Committee as to the building's future. The final decision on the future of Alumni Hall will be made by the Board of Trustees as part of the impending Ten Year Master Plan.
Leland Miles Alfred's Future Success Dear Editor,
The future success of Alfred University is at stake! We can grow and evidently will grow. Our master plan has worked out a ten year program for Alfred's future.
As written on paper it should work.
They have worked out the future economic situation. They have worked out the future dormitory situation. They have worked out the future academic situation.
But what is it that is being overlooked? It is something of a less defined nature, namely the elements that contribute to the psychological condition of the students as a group. What is it that is attributing to so much van- dalism? What is it that creates the disunity we witness? What is it that creates a feeling of pride? What is it that cuases a mood of apathy?
How can we get the students to become a part of the university rather than a person attending an institution? What can be done to pull Alfred together?
I can't begin to express how vital it is that these elements be thoroughly investigated. Alfred is a small school that is not living up to its full potential.

Dust and Ashes Presents Folk Music Ministry
Dust and Ashes will present a series of concerts this week, in- cluding at Ade Hall Lounge this Wednesday during the supper hour, at noon on Thursday in the Brick Lounge, and on Friday at the Campus Center at noon.
Since 1968 Dust and Ashes has been traveling full-time and nationwide with their exciting style of folk music ministry. The duo, Tom Page and Jim Sloan, live in Nashville, Tennessee, where their work originates.
They have known each other for eight years and have sung together since 1963. Their experiences in composing, singing and per- forming have helped them achieve a rapport that enables their music to speak with authority and pur- pose. And that purpose for the past three years has been to allow the uniqueness of their folk music to speak prophetically and realistically of the relationship
between God and man.
"We feel there is a need to recognize God's truth as it appears in places where it may be disregarded," the duo has said.
"And some of these places are the lyric of contemporary pop and folk composers like Bob Dylan and Paul Simon." Page and Sloan also compose juch of their own music and present a well-balanced concert of songs that reveal Christianity's concerns and simultaneously entertain.
Dust and Ashes has one album released, "From Both Sides Now,"
which is available through Tidings of the General Board of Evangelism of the United Methodist Church, Nash- ville,Tennessee. "The Dust and Ashes Songbook," containing seven original songs from the album, is currently available through Abingdon Press, Nash- ville, Tennessee.

Did you fail to register for an Allenterm course? Was it because you didn't feel that any of the courses offered were, designed for what you want to do? The Fiat Lux offers a simple solution to your dilema. You may sign up for course 119-201 without paying a late registration fee. The course is designed to bring out your ideas that you have had and nobody will listen to.
Your Fiat Li|x is presently un- dergoing a period of change and re- evaluation. We believe that the role of the paper must be re-defined and with it so must the philosophy of the paper and staff. We want the Fiat to become your student newspaper. There is a need for more news from the college student life and a little less from the administration. We want news or progress reports of individual student groups, club, and organizations such that the entire campus community may be aware of what Alfred has to offer.
Now that you have a little taste of what we might be doing and you have some opinion of what i (stet.) have in mind, write up your opinions and criticism and sign up for the Fiat Allenterm. Remember there will be no late registration fee for only a short time so act quickly and you might become involved in the "project" of this year's Allenterm. It depends en- tirely upon you!
On October 27, the Medical Society of the State of New York will dispatch a mobile van to the Tech campus. The prime purpose will be to supply students with factual in- formation about the nature and hazards of, and the means of self-protection against venereal disease.
The presentation will include a short film, a definitive exhibit and a supply of pertinent literature.
Competent staff will be prepared to answer questions and offer requested assistance.
The van will be located outside the Central Dining Hall through the entire day.
There will be a Hillel discussion Monday night, November 1, at 6:30 p,m., in Room A of the Campus Center.

MASTERING THE DRAFT
Copyright 1971 by John Striked and Andrew Shapiro
"BEWARE THE DRAFT BOARD CLERK"
Are you afraid of your draft board clerk? Do you give her your real name when you telephone the board? Is the information she begrudges you believable or simply intimidating?
Such doubts have long weakened the relationship—
"contest" may be a better word—that pits a registrant against his draft board clerk. Lately, registrants are beginning to gain ground.
Theoretically, clerks are petty fundtionaries. They are low paygrade civil servants hired to perform purely clerical chores. A clerk is not a federal official, not a member of the draft board, not a trier of fact or law empowered to decide your draft status. powerful person in your draft board. Generally, she is the In practice, however, the clerk may be the most
only one in the office who has even the vaguest com- prehension of the draft law—not that you should blindly trust her advice. Draft board members understandably look to the clerk as their Moses.
A clerk is also most familiar (compared to the board members) with registrants' files. One of her chief tasks is to keep these files up to date with all information sub-mitted so that the board can act upon each case: "Although the board itself does the classifying," reported a 1967 Presidential commission on the draft, "a good clerk can make the board's job considerably easier. Perhaps the most important of her tasks—certainly from the registrant's point of view the most critical—is the routine preparation of cases for board review and decision, which in prectical effect amounts to an initial classification." (emphasis added(
Sometimes, unwarranted decisions made by a clerk can amount to the denial of any classification action whatsoever by the draft board. The dangers of such an illegal usurpation by a civil servant reached disgraceful proportions in the recent case of Warwick v. Volatile (Eastern District Court, Pennsylvania (. During the week preceding young Warwick's schedule induction, he, and his attorney, and his mother's osteopath bombarded the draft board office with letters sttesting to the ill health of Warwick's mother. Hie osteopath's letter, for example, reported that the mother "recently presented herself at my office in a state of utter panic at the impending in- duction order of her son . . . This is not just an ordinary type of nervousness associated with a son entering ser- vice. Her husband died of a malignancy about 18 years ago, an event preceded by the death of her mother and father. She is dwelling on this phase and sees only a pending doom with losing her son.
"I have placed her on tranquilizers in an attempt to calm her but I am convinced that if (her son) is inducted she will require hospitalization for mental illness. She is definitely on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown .
"It is my opinion that the induction of (her son) would be a distinct hardship if not a tragedy for this woman." ' The draft board never decided whether the letters called for a reopening and a reclassification into III-A (hardship deferment). This dereliction was not entirely the board's fault, because the clerk failed to notify the board members of the newly submitted evidence. Con- sequently, that evidence was never even considered, let alone evaluated, by the board members; they, like most board members, were not in the practice of boring themselves with registrants' files until forced to do so ^ an occasional meeting.
At Warwick's trial, the judge based his decision upon the clerk's egregious ssumption of authority: "The Selective Service System has placed important responsibilities on the members of Local Boards for evaluating the status of registrants in light of the par- ticular characteristics of each registrant and the needs of the registrant's family and the local community. The sensitive and difficult responsibilities involved in classifying registrants cannot be delegated to, or assumed by, the clerks of the Local Boards . . . Because the members of the Local Board did not consider the registrant's request for re-opening and the evidence submitted to support the request, the order to report for induction was invalid . . . " A writ of habeas corpus was issued freeing Warwick from the army.
The clerk's gross distortion of elemental procedural fairness was alone suggicient to void the outstanding induction order. If you believe that your own clerk has in any way misinformed you to your detriemtn, or refused to supply you with necessary forms to fill out, or declined to file any new evidence you have submitted, or denied you access to your Government Appeal Agent, or failed to notify you of damaging evidence slipped into your file, or in any other way, prejudiced your case, seek counsel immediately to determine the legal gravity of the clerk's misconduct. The consequences of her action amy be as critical as they were for young Warwick.

Virginia. Other schools par- ticipating in the trip include the University of Toledo, West Liberty State College, and Bowling Green University.
University geology majors participating in the excursion include Robert Ainsworth, Chris Barton, Howard Liptzin, David * Wilson, Brian Long, Robin White jf and Bruce Kammer. The trip is one of two such field projects spon- sored annually by the department of geology.
Rochester Bloodmobile Thanks All
During the recent visit of the Rochester Area Bloodmobile to the University campus, a total of 208 pints of blood were collected though there were 103 others who volunteered but were either rejected because of medical reasons or were "unsuccessful"

cessful (productive) donors, 180 were students, and 114 gave for the first time. Many thanks are due all who contributed in any way, either by donating blood (including those who volunteered but were rejec- ted) or by contributing time and talents to a very worthy and im- ' portant cause—literally giving of themselves for the benefit of others.

11 Percent Rise in Enrollment Over Last Year
ALFRED, N.Y., Oct. 22—Alfred University has release figures showing an 11 percent rise in enrollment over last year, with a significant portion of the increase attributed to freshman co-eds from Downstate metropolitan suburbs.
As of mid-October, full- and part- time 1971-72 enrollment in the .University's five divisions stood at
2,364, a record high.
The figure was 234 more than last year's total and 615—or ap- proximately 35 percent—over 1968's.
Although men continued to outnumber women at Alfred by an approximate ratio of 2 to 1, a marked shift in this proportion was seen in the freshman class. Of 645 full-time freshman students, 43 percent were women.
Co-ed enrollment at the same time last year made up 35 percent of the freshman class.
The University's director of admissions, Nolan C. Cooper, ascribed the increase in first-year co-ed enrollment partly to an
"overall drop in applications from
//men, a situation influenced in turn by the difficulty we've experienced I in attracting students to our
engineering and business programs."
According to figures compiled by the University's computer center, full-time freshman enrollment in the Division of Scierice and Engineering of Alfred's College of Ceramics fell 39 percent below last
year. A 50 percent drop in full-time business administration freshmen was also reported.
"In large measure," said Cooper, "this is traceable to the state of the economy and widespread publicity given unemployment and layoffs, par- ticularly in technological oc- cupations.
"The economic situation will sooner or later be turned around.
When it does we'll see a continued growth in technology without, unfortunately, the concommitant pool of skilled graduates to meet the requirements of technology.
"Those of our students with engineering and similar degrees,"
he said, "will be able to name their salaries."
Cooper also noted a "distinct change in enrollment patterns at Alfred from Upstate to Down- state—to Westchester County and Long Island, suburbs of New York City."
He said Alfred University was beginning to realize an "influx of students, mostly female and mostly into liberal arts disciplines, who for reasons of social and physical environment are con- sciously turning away from city and suburb to a rural setting such as ours."
Cooper's statement was issued a few days after « report appearing in the New York Times quoted Dr.
James Hester, the president of New York University, as saying
decreases in that institution's liberal arts enrollment could be traced to a decline in applications from the suburbs. N.Y.U. is located in New York City.
Cooper attributed the growing number of co-eds to two additional factors: a 9 percent increase in total full-time enrollment in Alfred University's School of Nursing and a 23 percent increase in a predominantly female first-year enrollment recorded by the Division of Art and Design of the College of Ceramics.
In other campus enrollment tallies, student participation in the Reserve Officers Training Corps ' (Army), a voluntary program,
declined from 126 last year to a current figure of 110.
Overall enrollment this year at the University included 2,140 full- and part-time undergraduates in the College of Liberal Arts, the Division of Business Ad- ministration, the School of Nursing and the College of Ceramics—an increase of 213 over last year.
The heaviest incidence of enrollment growth was reported by the College of Liberal Arts.
Enrollment in the University's Graduate School rose from 203 last year to a current figure of 224.
Part-time students at Alfred University make up 3 percent of the totla undergraduate enrollment and 54 percent of the Graduate School enrollment.

fellowship programs for Blacks or other minority groups. If a school actively recruits students from minority groups, that fact is in- dicated. Some schools also give their percentage of such students currently enrolled in their in- stitution.
Plans call for distributing more than 17,000 copies of the book free of charge during the coming academic year to Black, Mexican American, and Puerto Rican students and student
organizations, to libraries, and to college and graduate school counselors.

New York, Oct. 23 Dear Coach, That was a pretty exciting show you put on today against Fordham, having the boys wait until the last minute of the game to beat their opponents, the "Rams" of For- dham, 42-33. Actually it was quite a scare that you gave to the several thousand fans who traveled to the game to see the Saxons, who are rated first in the state by the New York Sportwriters Association. We almost lost you know! 33-0 third quarter lead against the Imagine the Saxons rolling up a Rams, and then just as quickly giving Fordham an equal amount of points. may still be in thè early stages of Let's face it Coach,''Fordham rèbuilding their varsity into the college power that they were years ago,- but weren't we just a little oiver confident by taking out Moretti, Young, Bzdak, and Co. in the second quarter and replacing them With the second stringers. The idea that you want to give the bench some practice is fine, but dpn't you think we should wait until the game is definitely locked up? * Singlingout some of your boys, I rhust agree With you that Charlie Young is definitely one of the best receivers that small college football has to offer. With Jimmy Moretti's passes on target, Charlie always seems to be where the passes were as he hauled in óne bomb after another. Not to mention that Moretti himself has already rewritten several Alfred record books with his passing, with only two more games left this season. ^ That Freshman kijcker of yours, Don Hockenberry, Was really quite
Saxon Shooters Win 4 in a row
«The Alfred Rifle Team has won again, for the fourth consecutive time, defeating Syracuse University by a score of 1332 to 1323. This puts Alfred in direct contention for the state cham- pionship this season. Captain Todd Hollander led his team to victory again with co-captain Tom Jordan and verean shooters Eric Sander and Ron Kaplan close behing. The freshman team has also showed considerable support this season with freshman Kim Leitner again placing in the top five.
Friday's match against Syracuse' was Alfred's toughest match of the season. Previously top rated Syracuse was the league champion last year. Hollander fired a 273, Jordan a271r Sander a 267, Kaplan a 262, and Leitner a 259. If the Saxon shooters continue to shoot as well as they have, they should easily win the league and the state championship.

. impressive, kicking fiefd goals of him. 35,30,50, and 34 yards for a perfect afternoon. He sure came through irt the clutch when Alfred needed
But the whole team after vir- tually collapsing in the stretch, deserves the credit for bouncing back and pouring on the power when they almost had lost their chance for an undefeated season.
Your Saxon "cops" defense sure waited a long time before finally deciding to arrest the Ram offense.
Fordham's freshman quarterback must have been 33 points better ' than you thought, huh?
Luckily, the team woke UP before it was too late as Moretti moved the team 71 yards in 5 plays, one play being a 37 yard pass to Charlie. Then the Saxons relied on ground gainer Henry Bzdak for the touchdown and he didn't disappoint them, scoring with 43 seconds left in the game. Definitely, a repeat performance of the Hobart game.
Well coach, that's two weeks in a row you've had the crowd on their feet at the end. After Hobart and now Fordham, one can only wonder what you have in store for us next Saturday when we battle it out with Cortland., While we sneaked by Fordham, Cortland decisively beat Adelphi 23-8.
How about a nice ordinary, conventional pouncing over Cor-tland on Saturday, without us having to wait . until the final seconds to pull it out?

A Friendly Sports Editor
RIT Tigers win ICAC by 34 pts.
Lee Pollock of St. Lawrence set a new course record here Saturday of 27:09.4, but a great team effort by the RIT Tigers earned them the championship with 34 points. RPI was second with 43 followed by Ithaca (70), Clarkson (114), St.
Lawrence (141), Alfred (145), and Hobart (163). Allen Swierczek of RPI was right behind Pollock at 27:18, which also broke the course record. The remaining medalists were all from RIT, Bob Backofen, Dan Polansky, and Ron Pollock.
For sophomore Lee Pollock, it was his second straight ICAC victory.
For the disappointed Saxons, Kim Miller led the way with a personal best of 30:08. Behind him were Pete Cassabeer, Bill Cleaveland, Tim Reed, Ron Palmer, and Jeff Lowe. Next week, the Alfred team travels to Buffalo for the Canisius Invitational.
