Peterson
Opens Forum
By Nancy Cushing
The first Bergren forum
^ lecture of the semester was
* delivered by Tom Peterson, assistant professor of reli- gious studies last Wednes- day. The topic was "Adoles- cent Initiation and Rites of P a s s a g e in the American University."
In his opening statement, P e t e r s o n p r o p o s e d t h a t
" A m e r i c a n s a r e particularly suspicious of rituals. When- ever someone mentions the word 'ritual,' we normally think of som e useless activity that is a waste of time."
Members of the academic community like to pretend that the university is solely a place for us to develop and strengthen our creative ca- pacities, he said. Overlooked is the fact that it is also a place where we a r e indoctri- nated into the society of our elders.
Peterson drew compari- sons between the initiation rites of the Ndembu males and the experiences of the American college student, e m p h a s i z i n g the idea of entering a "liminal s t a t e . "
For the Africans, this period of isolation from the ordinary life of the community is
accepted as the first require- ment to psychologically pre- pare the youth for adulthood.
Other important elements of " r i t e s of passing" ipclude some form of "bodily niutila- tion," as well as formal r e a d m i t t a n c e into the society of the "new adult," both which we find symbolically represented in the university system.
Peterson stressed t h a t we h a v e m a d e a s e p a r a t i o n between the rational, voca- tional experience and the emotional, psychological ex- perience of college. The problem, as he sees it, is not that the s a m e rituals do not exist in our society, but that we don't recognize the rituals for what they are--an integral p a r t of our culture. He said there is "no such thing as rituals a p a r t from the people involved in the symbolic acts...Conversely, there a r e no people a p a r t from the symbolic a c t s . "
Ceremonies such as the pinning and capping of nur- ses, honors assemblies and c o m m e n c e m e n t r e p r e s e n t more than a " w a s t e of time."
They are the culmination of a youth's preparation for c o n t i n u e d , PaSe 3

McGowen Retained for Another Year
Instructor of History Ran- dall McGowen's two year contract will t e r m i n a t e at the end of this s e m e s t e r . Although his contract is not b e i n g r e n e w e d , M c G o w e n will be here at least one m ore year.
G a r y Ostrower, assistant professor of history, is taking a leave of absence next year, and McGowen will fill his position.
There has been strong sentim ent expressed by both s t u d e n t s and f a c u l t y for retaining McGowen. In the

tured a t the B e r g r e n F o r u m , participated in a symposium on sexual control in the 19th century, and is currently involved in organizing a film society, in addition to his teaching duties.
The Reaching a r r a n g e m e n t is only temporary, but the possibility for a m o r e per- m a n e n t position later has not been ruled out. For the present, Chairperson of the Humanities Division, Gary Horowitz, feels they can only consider McGowen's renewal
"one year at a t i m e . "
Odle Acting
President
Gene Odle, provost, has assumed interim responsi- bility. for the -operations of Alfred University.
Odle temporarily replaces P r e s i d e n t M. Richard Rose, who left the University for the presidency of the Roches- ter Institute of Technology, Henrietta. According to a trustees' ruling earlier this year, the provost, as the second-ranking officer, will oversee University opera- tions until a new president arrives on c a m p u s .
The University's presiden- tial search will continue int.o J a n u a r y . " T h e search com- mittee has completed an initial screening of the can- didates," said George Ray- mond, J r . , c h a i r m a n of the board of trustees a t Alfred.
" I t will m e e t with the s t r o n g e r c a n d i d a t e s off- campus the latter p a r t of December, then conduct ex- tensive c a m p u s interviews beginning J a n . 15."
Appointed in November by the Alfred board of trustees, the search committee repre- sents trustees, faculty, ad- ministrators, students and supportive' staff. It will recommend a limited num- ber of acceptable presiden- tial candidates to the execu- tive committee of the board.
What Happened to the Trees ?
S?
M < 7 m 9,
4 j aBy Lauren Stieiel Alfred's North Main Street is a state highway, running for 8/ 10 of a mile. Currently, the highway is being rehabili- tated by the state, resulting in the elimination of 23 trees.
They were old and would h a v e died a n y w a y , said M a y o r G a r y H o r o w i t z .
"Trees, like people, die."
Unable to follow that line of reasoning, Peggy Rase, a native of Alfred who lives on N. Main, called the tree removal " u n n e c e s s a r y and uncalled for."
Although the road is being expanded on the east side, trees were destroyed on the west side where Rase lives.
"We pay taxes, yet have no say in what h a p p e n s , " she said.
" E v e n some of the men who a r e working on the job feel terrible," she said. The s a m e words were used by Jim F r a n z e s a , superinten- dent of the projo"+ D&T F r a n z e s a , the construction company chosen for bhe job,
received the contract be- cause it was the lowest bidder.
The roads a r e in bad shape, said F r a n z e s a . Storm drains will be installed, and two bridges repaired. In addition, the state will plant new trees upon completion of the pro- j e c t . H o r o w i t z c o n f i r m e d this.
Traffic problems provoked the construction. A sidewalk will be put in on the east side of the street so people will be able to walk on a sidewalk to Alfred Station, instead of a gutter, said Horowitz. "Curb- ing p r o t e c t s p e o p l e , " he added.
" I t ' s been said t h a t N.
Main is the most traveled road in the county," said the mayor.
Between Church Street and C i t i z e n s N a t i o n a l Bank-- equal to about six parking s p o t s - - t h e s t r e e t will be widened to prevent double parking and pedestrian prob- lems, said Horowitz. There will be two parking lanes and two driving lanes.
A direct result of the construction will be a new
gas line located under lawns, instead of the road where the previous one had been con- stantly popping, said Horo- witz. T h i s w a y if a n y problems occur, lawns will be dug up instead of the road, he said.
Also, the curve opposite A.U. t e n n i s c o u r t s , n e a r Greene St., will be shaved down.
Said Dr. Willis Russell, a retired Alfred professor who lives across from McLane Center where three trees were taken, "They'll p l a n t ' seeds and grow new ones.
You c a n ' t stop the world."
Russell's wife, Ruth, spoke of the situation a little more softly, " I just feel bad I won't be here to see them grow."
" I t ' s taken five to eight years to get the D.O.T.
( D e p a r t m e n t of Transporta- tion) h e r e , " said Horowitz.
"Once the people see it, I think they'll like it," he concluded.

A Note From The Editors
There are a variety of activities happening in Alfred that frequently escape attention. The role of the. school paper should be to expose these events and issues. After all, Fiat Lux means "let there be light."
We are positive about Alfred University and feel the need to further convey a sense of community, clarify confusing issues, and provide meaningful criticism.
Honest communication is vital if the potential of Alfred University is to be realized. By presenting needed information, we hope to foster an atmosphere for the exchange of ideas. Hopefully, this will stimulate cooperation between the different departments and generate an attitude
of collective responsibility.
Most important, we want to remain responsive to the needs of a diversified student body. We therefore welcome your suggestions, comments, and criticisms.

By Mitchell Kossak The late great jazzman
Duke Ellington once said,
" I t don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing," and if swing is your thing, then you're going to like this number.
As a result of a donation by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur John- son, Alfred University has acquired a classic collection of swing-style, dance or- chestras recorded during the late 1920's, '30's and '40's.
T h e s e r e c o r d i n g s a r e unique because they are on the o u t d a t e d 78 speed models. You know, those LP's that are 'A" thick, usually in a 10" or 12"
diameter standard size with a p i c t u r e of s o m e dog sticking his nose into a megaphone attached to an apparatus, better known as a vie trola.
Most of these album s are in very good to excellent condi- tion yet it would be foolish to try and dig up one of these early style record machines ou*. of some dark and dusty junk pile in the hope of restoring it to some workable condition.
For this reason, I will soon be in the process of transfer- ring these mellow Big Band sounds onto easy playable modern cassette tapes.
Now you will be able to listen to original recordings of such mainstream swingers as Benny Goodman and his Sextet, Woody Herman and his W o o d c h o p p e r s , R u d y Vallee and his Connecticut Y a n k e e s , Count B a s i e , Tommy Dorsey, J i m m y Dor- sey, Glen Miller, Artie Shaw, Harry J a m e s , Zez Confrey, Hal Mclntyre, Spike Jones and his City Slickers, and, oh yes, who could forget the memorable Bud F r e e m a n and his Summa Cum Laude Orchestra, but there is more.
I f t h e s e n a m e s seem a little o b s c u r e to your m o d e r n mind, there are more recog- nizable names such as Mel T o r m e , D o r i s D a y , Bing Crosby, Nat "King" Cole,
Ella F i t z g e r a l d , and of course all you Sinatra freaks will swoon to "old Blue eyes"
singing, " T h e r e ' s No You,",
" D r e a m , " and "Somewhere a Voice is Calling." And there is even more.
Highlighting this collection is a barage of orchestras consisting of headliners and sidemen who later went on to pioneer other jazz move- ments such as the bop and cool sounds of the 50's and 60's. These include a very e a r l y v e r s i o n of C h a r l i e P a r k e r dping "Ko Ko" with a young Miles Davis playing his horn.
There is also Coleman Hawkins and his All ¡Star
" J a m " Band, featuring such heavies as Benny Carter on alto sax, Stephane Grapelli on piano and Django Rein- h a r t on guitar.
And what better way to m a k e s u r e your r e c o r d collection is r e s p e c t a b l e , than to have the majestic Duke present; the man with sophisticated swing.
In this collection you can hear Duke Ellington and his Famous Orchestra, playing
"Mood Indigo" "Delta Sere- n a d e " " E a s t St. Louis Toddle-oo," " T h e Mooche,"
"Solitude," "Sophisticated Lady," " T a k e the 'A' Train,"
and how can I leave out the swingingest tune of them all,
" I t Don't Mean a Thing If it Ain't Got that Swing."
So if swing is your thing, then you are in luck, because now you can walk up to the l i s t e n i n g lab, l o c a t e d in Howell Hall and O.D. with m e - h e y , it's free.
Editor's note: Mitchell Kos- sak is coordinating and indexing the music depart- ment's new collection of albums. In this article he talks about the collection. In future articles he will review albums and musical events.

Change Leadership
By Diana L. Tomb
The four largest student organizations on c a m p u s will change leadership soon or have already changed very recently.
T e r m s of office ran out for the s t a t i o n m a n a g e r of WALF and the chairperson of the board of ConCEP (Con- s o l i d a t e d C a m p u s E v e n t s and P r o g r a m s ) a t the end of last semester. The editor of the Fiat Lux resigned and the president and vice-president of the Student Senate have both decided not to seek re-election in F e b r u a r y .
Junior Mark Brostoff, who STUDENT SENATE Junior Mark Brostoff, who is the Senate president, and sophomore Judy Markuson, vice-president, will hold their offices until the third meet- ing of the semester, which has not been scheduled yet.
B r o s t o f f h a s b e e n t h e president since September, 1977, w h e n the p r e v i o u s president failed to return to Alfred. He ran for re-election in F e b r u a r y , 1978 with Mar- fcuson as his running m a t e . I B r o s t o f f a l s o held t h e positions of vice-president, secretary, and senator be- fore he became president.
" T h e Senate has m a d e unbelievable strides since '76," he said. "Our founda- tion has been laid and the building and the roof have been completed."
" T h e Senate now under- stands its position on this campus. Now is the time for new leadership," said Bros- toff.
He has already taken a new position in student activities, assistant for research and development to Gary Muck, director of student activities and the Campus Center.
B r o s t o f f s new duties will include working with expan- sion of the building and its services and trying to gene- r a t e more involvement in student activities.
Markuson will end her
executive duties with the Senate to spend more time on her studies and with her new positions in Sigma Chi Nu sorority.
Speaking of her first year in Alfred student govern- ment, she said: " I think I handled it well, but I don't think a f r e s h m a n should pub ment, she said: " I think I handled it well, but I don't think a f r e s h m a n should put himself in t h a t position."
" F r e s h m e n should be in- volved in the Senate, but a position like t h a t was a little too t i m e - c o n s u m i n g , " s h e added.
WALF
Gary Esterow's term as station m a n a g e r of WALF ended in December at the s a m e time that junior Dean 0 ' G r a d y took over the top position. Esterow, a senior, is now in the a d v i s o r y position of general m a n a g e r . He has been with the station for three and a half years and was the director of public a f f a i r s for one year before becoming station m a n a g e r .
" I feel I might have helped get a little more exposure for WALF, which has always been my goal," Esterow said. He noted that the m a n a g e r i a l staff had become more cohesive during his years on the radio station.
O'Grady outlined his plans for the station in his first address to the staff as station m a n a g e r last week. "We should be more outgoing than we a r e , " he said. "We need to m a k e our presence known on c a m p u s . "
O'Grady previously held the positions of secretary and co-music director. The two positions have not been filled yet.
Jeff Lindenthal, a fresh- man, also stepped up, repla- cing senior Mim Petrover as ..music program director on
the station.
CONCEP
The entire board of direc- tors of ConCEP has changed
except for two returning chairpersons. Senior Kate Hamlin retired from chairing the board and plans to go back to being an AU tour guide, as well as remaining on ConCEP.
" I feel really good about the last y e a r , " she said, " I n a school this size you have to g e t i n v o l v e d . " H a m l i n worked for ConCEP since it was created, three years ago.
Replacing Hamlin is Steve Falkopf, a sophomore who has been co-chairperson for c o n c e r t s and v i c e - c h a i r - person of the board. He plans to increase involvement in the organization, he said, particularly at the board meetings, "in order to serve the students b e t t e r . "
Other retiring seniors a r e Steve Gressani, chairperson for the technical committee;
Sid P e c k m a n , chairperson for p u b l i c i t y ; and G r e g Smith, head of the F o r e s t People. Gressani is being replaced by Rob Minor, a sophomore. Smith is being replaced by sophomore Van Kaynor and P e c k m a n ' s for- mer position remains un- filled.
Except for one returning senior, the entire board is now m a d e up of sophomores and f r e s h m e n , according to Muck, who advises the or- ganization.
FIAT LUX
Roberta Nordheim, a se- nior, resigned as editor-in- chief of the F i a t Lux a t the end of last semester in order
" t o be a student for a s e m e s t e r , " before she gra- duates. She has been on the staff for three years in the capacity of typesetter, ma- naging editor and production manager.
She said that she had
" l e a r n e d a lot about jour- n a l i s m , o r g a n i z a t i o n , the psychology of heirarchy, and the limit of human potential"
during her year as editor.
She will continue on the p a p e r a s p h o t o g r a p h i c editor.
Nancy Cushing, who wrote for the paper last semester, and Gregory Belanger, a newcomer to the staff, are the new co-editors-in-chief.
Both students a r e seniors.
Belanger said that the m o s t i m p o r t a n t t h i n g for him as editor was. " t o increase communication on campus, using the Fiat Lux a s a sounding b o a r d . " He hoped t h a t t h e letters column would become an " e x c h a n g e of ideas" in the future.
Cushing said that " t h e paper is a good vehicle for increasing relations between
the c a m p u s community and the village."
The r e s t of the staff, which dwindled to almost nothing last semester has been re- vitalized with new m e m b e r s . Senior Bruce Barnes has become the sports editor and veteran staffer Diana Tomb has returned to take the position of copy editor for one semester before she gra- duates.
Alfred University has been awarded a $5,000 g r a n t from a New York-based founda- tion under a new company p r o g r a m .
The g r a n t comes from the Sperry and Hutchinson Com- pany by way of its S & H Foundation. The founda- t i o n ' s C i t i z e n s h i p G r a n t s P r o g r a m was set up this year to support the efforts of employees who do volunteer work for non-profit organiza- tions. The local g r a n t was one of seven totalling $22,500 that were m a d e around the country.
The $5,000 will be used in association with the Univer- sity's effort to secure a-grant from the National Endow- ment for the Humanities.
The Endowment has found Alfred worthy of a g r a n t of
$200,000, if the University can raise a three-to*one chal- lenge of $600,000.
" T h e $5,000 g r a n t gives A l f r e d the c r e a t i v e s e e d money to secure the chal- lenge a m o u n t , " said J a c k Mischou, the volunteer who requested the grant. Mis- chou, who is corporate direc- tor of public relations for the Sperry and Hutchinson Com- pany, has served on the
c o n t i n u e d f r o m p a g e 1 a d u l t h o o d - - t h e y s y m b o l i z e his readmission into society.
To s e p a r a t e t h e s e c e r e - monies from the m o r e ration- al side of education is " a n abstraction," said Peterson.
In conclusion, he stated

Basketb Women's
By Chrissa I,efes A week of double practices before the beginning of the semester paid off for the w o m e n ' s b a s k e t b a l l team when they cleaned up Wells College, with a score of 65-42, Jan. 13.
Junior Sue Walter, co-cap- tain of the team, was named offensive player of the game.
F r e s h m a n Judy McKinnon was named defensive player.
The team is young, but according to Coach Shirley Liddle, it " h a s depth--lots of depth. They are good ball players and at least seven of the players are capable of scoring in the double figures per g a m e . "
The women lost their first three games but followed with three victories. Liddle said she enjoys working with the group and has seen a great deal of improvement.

Update
The men's basketball team as well has had some early success. The team has had everyone on the edge of his or her seat, lately, coming back from 13 and 17 point deficits to make its game a lot tighter.
The Saxons lost to an experienced Hobart College but outdid Renssealer Poly- technic Institute in the final moments, making their re- cord 4-4.
Their improvement is re- markable and even the new coach, Ronald Freders, is surprised at the way that his youthful crew has adjusted to his style of play. F r e d e r s has d o n e \ a n excellent job re- modeling the team and has pla ns to insta 11 a new twist to home games with the addi- tion of cheerleaders.
One of the brightest spots
in the sports news is Alfred's ski team, which has a whole slew of rookies this year but is hoping to repeat its worthy performances of the past.
Last season the team placed fourth in the Division II league meet.
This season Coach Michael Schaeberle is looking for some strong performances from his nine-man skeleton swim squad. The swim team started out 18 strong but has dwindled to its present num- ber due to illness and academia, Schaeberle said.
At press time the team's record was 1-1. The coach was especially hopeful that junior Rich Coil aird fresh- man Mark Henline and A1 Heter would carry the weight of the team in future meets.
Gene Castrovillo, director of athletics, is faced with the difficult task of arranging the athletic calendar to coincide with this semester's earlier schedule.
B e c a u s e A l l e n t e r m was eliminated and the calendar was moved up, the outdoor athletic teams will have a spring schedule only 22 days long. During this brief period the lacrosse team is sche- duled to play 11 games.
The men's track team will end its season with the state meet on the day before graduation. Adjustment to the new calendar will be rough, said Castrovillo, but it will hopefully be a short-lived adjustm ent.
He explained that many other colleges are now con- sidering the same sort of calendar that Alfred has adopted.

By Bruce Barnes Now that the sports page has returned to its traditional spot in Alfred scholarly "let there be light" newspaper, let's catch up on the status of our c o m m u n i t y ' s a t h l e t i c teams. Despite the relatively small size of this University, thé Saxon Warriors have been faring very well.
The men's track team, c o a c h e d by Clifford Du- Breuil, is off to a promising start. Sophomore Rob Mar- quit has shown ability in every style of jumping ex- cept backwards. He has qualified for the state cham- pionship meet in the high jump, long jump, and triple jump.
Nine other athletes have also qualified for the state meet.
