A Woman's Perspective
Future for Journalism
Stuart Loory, managing editor of the Washington bureau of the Cable News Network, addressed,
"The Future of American Jour- nalism" in an October 24 discussion in the Parent's Lounge of the Campus Center.
Loory acknowledged his stiff competition with WALF, also holding a discussion at the same time in the Campus Center.
Loory noticed "a few members of the audience were not from the art school. And if you were in Tony Hepburn's class all day, you're allowed to fall asleep."
Loory begins. "To understand what's happening in the news business today, one must sit back and take a look at where it has been and where it is going."
According to Loory, "the Ameri- can news business is getting a lot of criticism lately." Loory noted the following critisms: "for the past 15-20 years, the news business has devoted too much time in tearing the country down" and failing to note what is great about this country; "the news business is no longer objective," they are putting in too much point of view; and the news business is responsible for the breakdown in reality, the media is "contributing to every-thing wrong in society."
Loory's own feelings are not related to the judgemental factor, but rather now people in the business take advantage of technology. "The media is the message." The American news business has always been paced by current technology. "The telegraph was to the Civil War, what the television was to Vietnam." And though the slowness of the telegraph sys- tem, editors could take the time to sit down and think about the content of their paper. A reflection of this fact lies in the production of the "best news-papers of the time."
So how have newspapers developed? Simply in their
"ability to measure public opin- ion." Measure what the population is thinking. The
editor now sits down and asks,
"What do my readers want to know?" Another development sited by Loory, electronic journalism.
The media now thinks "pictorial values." "But it is very difficult to communicate complicated ideas through visual values. The picture deals in quick emotions".
Loory made an example in the reason we see so many fires on television. "The reds, the oranges, the billowing smoke-it makes for good pictorial journal- ism. That is wny the Pulitizer Prize winning chemist gets kissed-off in 30 seconds and the warehouse fire gets wider coverage."
According to Loory, cable television is now exploding.
"Cable television gives viewers access up to 104 channels of information. What am I going to do with 104 channels?" Loory sighted access to so much information as both time- consuming and somewhat dan- gerous. Mass media, especially television, must "confront the First Amendment," Loory concluded.
But along with technology comes the marketing situation.
"Increasingly, marketers of news confuse entertainment with news. Production becomes more important than the news itself."
His examples: "the happy talk"
of news commentators; the stories selected; "flashy pic- tures;" "Should Dan Rattier wear a sweater or not wear a sweater;" stories of how well shows are doing instead of news itself-"Is '60 Minutes' slipping in the ratings rather then com- ments on what it's producing."
Loory says the producers must reach a compromise between presenting the facts and making the news compeling.
When asked if ABC, NBC, and CBS will forever be the three
"biggies" Loory stated that the "other three achieved their highwater mark at the 80's convention, but from there on, it will continue to be downhill for
By Ron Bel-Bruno The distorted and solely male perspective through which scholars have studied American history was the highlight of a lecture given by historian Mary Beth Norton to a crowd of about 160 persons at Alfred Univer- sity's Susan Howell Hall on October 21,1982.
Ms. Norton, an associate profes- sor of history at Cornell University, said that she under- stood much more of American history once she looked at the
"private side of it." In other words, when she looked at the female side.
"Old questions must be asked in new ways," she said. "Was the frontier experience the same for women as it was for men?" Ms.
Norton asked. "It has been found that a young man could find opportunity on the frontier, but women had to find it in the city,"
she answered.
"What was important to women in the 18th century?" Ms. Norton asked, giving an example of a
"new question," that should be asked of American history. Ms.
Norton said "the family" was of great importance to the women of that time. "A greater amount of peoples' life experiences occured in the family context than today...Even manufacturing was done in the home," she commented. "Individuals lived their entire lives in the family context." She explained that unmarried women had to live with parents or brothers, the elderly lived with their children, and apprentices with their masters. "Nobody lived alone in this system... this left a lack of options for women."
them. For the last two years, audience has fallen off 3-6 percent for them. The first year it was considered a novelty, but the second year the other networks have been forced to take a serious look at cable networks and program services."
Will the quality of ''"news change? According to Loory,
"We are all going to copy each other. On CNN, we produce a lot of live coverage. Let the viewers listen to the same dull hearing on Capitol Hill as the news reporters have to listen to."
When asked if the changes in the quality of news as matter of the culture process, Loory replies, "we are the most educated nation in the world.
We are not illeterate or dumb.
The fault lies with those who produce the news."
Loory went on to say that
"news is that which is unusual.
The usual state of affairs is goodness-it is not rape, it is not crime. The number of criminals compared with good people it quite small. You could never convince me of trading life in this country for life anywhere else."
Loory went on to comment that the content of news shows:
"what one person does not want to see may be what others do."
He also commented upon the experts seen on television talk shows or news shows are
Loory also made an update statement on a '74 article he wrote concerning CIA infiltra- tio' in the news business. "The situation is much better than when the whistle was blown. It was at its best before the Reagan administration. The Carter administration's policy was that Americans working full time in American news organizations would not be CIA members.
While the Reagan administration will not go looking for full time CIA undercover workers, they will use volunteers. The question is whether the CIA is still planting disinformation in foreign press: Not as bad as it was, not as good as it should be."
Loory, a former White House correspondent for the "Los Angeles Times" and a former managing editor if the "Chicage Continued on page 9
Ms. Norton invited the audience to answer^a question: "What has been the impact of technology upon the female in American life?" In response to such answers as "washers and dryers, dishwashers, electric irons," and even a more comic "curling irons," Ms. Norton commented,
"These have changed the nature of housework." she added, however, that they haven't changed the time involved. Ms.
Norton said the electrification of American life was tremendously important for women. With the new labor saving devices, the middle-class housewife started to do all her own household chores, the standards of housekeeping rose, and the number of servants declined.
Ms. Norton cited contraception as a major form of technology that had an impact upon women.
"For women the development of reliable contraceptives made the difference between sex for reproduction and sex for plea- sure," she said, contraception was a "pre-requisite for married women entering the work force." Norton said the typewriter
"led women out of the house and into the work force." Until the typewriter's invention, the job of a secretary was a man's, since primarily men were literate.
However, a "combination of the invention of the typewriter and public high school helped women become secretaries." Ms. Norton described the book
"Looking at History through Woman's Eyes," by Mary Ritter Beard, as "One of the first great insights into how woman's experience was different than man's." Mrs. Beard observed
that throughout history women had to be concerned with what was "concrete," and part of their daily lives, while men did the contemplative thinking. Ms. Norton made three ad- ditions to Mrs. Beard's insight of female American history. "The world is conceptually male."
"Women are the exception to the male norm," said Ms. Norton. She cited the Gilligan study which proved that women think differently than men. "Women have always been judged by a norm established by men."
Kohlberg's classic study of moral development was based on a study of only male subjects.
"When females are judged by the scale's five stages of develop- ment, the females are considered deviant.
In "Rites of Passage" which discusses American rites of adolescence, Joseph Kett devotes many pages to the Boy Scouts and boys' clubs, but none to the Girl Scouts or girls' clubs. "The family of man has become the family of men," Norton said.
In "Four Generations", Philip Greven presents the lives of four generations in a family with little mention of its female members. "The assumption that the world is male can backfire on men sometimes." The 1776 New Jersey Constitution stated that
"All property owners can vote,"
but made no sexual or racial designations. As a result, women voted for about twenty years in New Jersey. "Women have traditionally had less control over their lives than men."

Klan Case Settled
seeking monetary damages from Alfred University has been dropped in a case stemming from the death on February 25,1978 of an Alfred student, Charles M. Stenzel, at Klan Alpine, an independent privately owned fraternity formerly associated with the University. Alfred, N.Y.*Oct. 26--A lawsuitThe campus spokesman said Klan Alpine and several individ- uals formerly associated with the fraternity, parties to the suit, have reached an out of court settlement with the Stenzel estate. The spokesman stressed that Alfred University has consistently denied respon- sibility in the case and had made no monetary contribution to the settlement.
This was the official news release from the Adminijtration re- garding the settlement in the Klan trial. In speaking with Vice
President King, the Fiat learned that part of the settlement included an agreement not to disclose the amount of monetary reimbursement involved. It was also stated that Klan Alpine's insurance policy would cover the amount of the settlement. When asked what effect the situation has had on the University, King stated that, "We've all learned to be patient. In this type of situation, nobody wins."
The effect of the settlement on Klan's reaffiliation with the University is still unknown. There is a committee now working with the brotherhood on standards that must be met before Klan will be reaffiliated.
This committee will make a recommendation as to Klan's status at the end of the semester.
President Coll and Vice President King will act on this recommendation at that time.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
I am assuming, with regret, that some Alfred University dorm room has been brightly redecorated with a large, colorful Metropolitan Art Museum poster of the lady and the unicorn tapestry. of those members of ! he student body who accasionally inhabil the lecture room on the third others would enjoy seeing floor of Allen Hall, I had taped my poster to the wall, hoping something more picturesque than blackboards and bare walls. I should be "flattered" by the theft. I am not-- in fact, I devoutly hope the theif will be seized with strong intestinal cramps every time he/she looks at it. Naively trusting in the good will Some more cynieal peer told me
It is probably too much to hope that those cramps might be interpretted as twinges of conscience. Sincerely, Carol Burdick
Instructor, English Department Dear Editor,
Higher education is an impor- tant factor in the human development of New Yorkers. It can enable people to lead fuller lives, give more to their children, and to become better citizens.
More important, perhaps, educa- tion can open people's minds and help to bring together men and women from different ethnic and economic backgrounds. In addition to being a key to human development, higher edu- cation must be seen as a part of our effort to build a better economic future for New York State. Our public investment in higher education is just that.

ciated with the University." It is ciation with Klan and recognize from the University, Klan Alpine is an "independent privately owned fraternity formerly asso-the belief of this paper that now is the time for the University to forget its past policy of disasso-that fraternity. According to a news releaseFor the past four and a half years, the University has declared Klan to be an unrecog-nized part of the student body. This policy is still in practice today, even though the frater-nity is no longer encumbered with the Stevens lawsuit. The University now has reached the point where it will readmit Klan to its pre-1978 position only if it is willing and able to show that it can be a moral and up-standing institution on this campus.
Why should Klan have to prove that it it up-standing? Wouldn't it be in the interest of democracy if the burden of proving guilt lied with the University? Shouldn't the school be made to prove that Klan isn't worthy of reinstitution instead of the opposite?
Today, none of the members of Klan that were involved in the stenzel incident are still attend-ing the University. That means that the members of the fraternity are being placed in a position of "defense" because the school has assumed that there is guilt by reason of association.
We as students at this place of higher learning cannot and should not stand by and allow such an injustice to occur. It is not within the realm of educa- tional administration for an institution to rewrite the law of the land or deny its students the rights that have been guaranteed to all citizens of the United States.
Dear Editor,
The Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors, the nation's largest draft counseling agency, charged Selective Ser- vice with wasting taxpayers' money by planning to mail a quarter of a million letters to suspected non-registrants in an effort to enforce a non-enforce- able registration.
"The federal courts handle about 30,000 cases a year at this time," stated Jim Feldman, attorney at CCCO. "So far, only eight of these cases have involved non-registrants. There is no way the courts can handle hundreds of thousands of new cases."
The names of these suspected draft resisters' are obtained bv matching Selective Service regis-tration lists with Social Security Administration files. IRS then mails the letters. The first mailing has been sent to 33,000 men. Roscoe L, . Egger, Jr., Commissioner of IRS, has said IRSonly plans to turn over 200 addresses to Selective Service to the warning letter because it seems unlikely the Justice Department would prosecute more than that number. out of those who don't respond
It is this sort of relevant, reliable factual information which CCCO is committed to providing men of draft age.
People who receive these letters, or have questions con- cerning non-registration clearly need more information whicn CCCO can give them," attorney Feldman said. CCCO has started a list of people interested in non-registration issues, to which the organization sends out regular bulletins * on develop-ments in the area of non-registra- tion. According to the General Accounting Office, over 700,000 men haven't registered. "We believe many are refusing to sign up as a protest' fo war "and
American militarism," Feldman stated. "It is important that these men are kept informed, so they can make educated decisions."
Feldman also said it was especially important that people who work with young men on this issue be kept up to date. At this time tne federal government is currently only charging non-registrants who have turned themselves in, as the eight above. Warning letters from the Justice Department have been sent to some non- registrants turned in to the government by private individu- als.
In addition to sending out periodic information on non- registration, CCCO counsels indi- viduals concerning their specific problems, and helps non- registrants find lawyers. The Central Committee for Conscien- tious Objectors was formed in 1948 and has a network of 2,500 counselors around the country who counsel individuals on the draft, registration, and conscien- tious objection. CCCO also helps people considering the military the other side of the story from that which is given in the recruitment ads.

By Richard Berinan This is the second in a series ofresponses and reactions by President Edward G. Coll, Jr. to current campus issues. In this installment, President Coll dis- cusses the Alumni Hall restora-tion issue and the administrative position on faculty compensation. FIAT: What are the prospects for the renovation of Alumni Hall?
COLL: The prospects are not as prominent as I would like to see them. We lost an application for a Kresge grant for $300,000 which I thought we were going to get. We lost an application for a National Endowment of the Arts grant for $100,000 which I also thought we had a shot at receiving. So, we're back now to

Dance Concert
Ensemble of the Performing Arts division will hold their annual Fall Dance Concert "Dance Concert '82" on Novem-ber 11,12, and 13. Performances will be in Holmes Auditorium, Harder Hall at 8:00 p.m. The show will encompass a variety of jazz, and modern dance, to dance styles ranging from ballet, musical comedy styles. The dancers will be performing both faculty and student choreo-graphed pieces. The artistic director is Carla Murgia. Tickets for all performances are available at Roger's Campus Center or at the Performing Arts Annex as well as at the door on the evening of each performance. The tickets are $3 general admission; $2 AU Faculty, Staff, & AU students; $1 for Senior Citizens and under 17. The Alfred University Danceput in a performing arts center as was proposed before I got here. The price tag that has been handed to me on that is subject to a lot of questions. I think it's closer to $3 million than the proposed $2 million.
Secondly, I'm not sure the building, physically, was ever meant to be a performing arts center. I think we could do a much better job of building a free-standing perfoming arts center that could provide all of the practice and performance facilities that our performing arts groups need.
I'm looking at alternatives now, and I'm talking to the Trustees about these alterna- tives. We've got to examine some alternative uses of Alumni Hall. I want desperately to get thè Admissions Office out of that house on Main Street. One of the alternatives I have is to make Alumni Hall the new home of Admissions and Financial Aid. Nothing here, however, is cast in concrete. I think we could
immediately do something to renovate Alumni Hall, hopefully by 1983.
FIAT: We've discussed several issues by my design. Perhaps there is one that you particularly would care to discuss.
COLL: Well, yes, I would like to discuss the status of faculty compensation. The compensa-tion levels of the faculty really concerns me. They're just substantially below the point where I'd like to see tnem, although by comparison with institutions of similar size in this geographic region, they seem to be around the average. I think we just have to take special pains to be constantly cognizant of the need to increase those levels to the upper edge.
Of course, the only way we're going to be able to do this is through tuition increases and by raising additional sums. I'm pre- pared to go out and raise these sums, but I think the realities suggest that we're going to have tuition increases at this Universi-ty and others like it for the foreseeable future.
We made a bad mistake- in private higher education in the early and middle seventies.
When the inflation rate was increasing to 10-12 percent, we attempted to do a public service by holding the tuition increases of only 5-7 percent while granting faculty increases of 5-7 percent, while other people in the economy were receiving increases of 10-12 percent. So, we've fallen desperately behind. As an end result, faculty has lost 35 percent of their due purchas-ing power.
We've got an excellent faculty here, and this is my concern. I want to keep them. I want to compensate them for the hard work that they've put in to make this institution what it is. This is just an outstanding faculty for this institution.
FIAT: It seems that faculty holds the major responsibility for increases in our academic stan- dards, as evidenced in the new Barron's standards and other sources of academic review. In light of this, among other things, do you feel compensation should at least parallel these advances?

applicant, the University is required to follow the guidelines set forth under a particular program. At this time there are two sets of regulations-one for the Federal programs and the University's aid programs, and one for the New York State Tuition Assistance Program.
For federal and/or institution- al aid a self-supporting or independent student is one who:
1.) has not been claimed and will not be claimed as an exemption for Federal income tax purposes by his/her parents for the previous tax year and the current year; not receive financial assistance (cash or in-kind) of more than 2.) has not received and will
$750 from his/her parents for the previous tax year and the currect year; 3.( has not lived and will not live for more than six weeks in the house of (or one owned by) his/her parents for the previous tax year and the current year.
However, if the parent dies
before the student submits his/her application, the above criteria will be waived. Also, the Director of Financial Aid may waive the requirements if it is unreasonable, in his/her opinion, to expect the parent to contri- bute. This would be done in only an extraordinary situation.
The above guidelines are strictly followed by the University's Student Financial Aid Office. Students wishing consideration for independence are required to submit a notarized Affidavit of Financial Indepedence signed by their parents. A copy of the parents federal income tax form may also be required to verify the information.
New York State residents seeking independence status for the Tuition Assistance Program grant must also meet the above criteria. Plus, if they are under 22 years of age on the July 1 preceding the year in which they are seeking consideration, they must also show that:
a.) their parents are either deceased, disabled, or have been
declared incompetent; or, b.) they are on public assistance or are the ward of a court (or of the State, a county, or a municipality). Public assistance does not include Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), food stamps, or unemployment insurance.
They must be getting public assistance as an individual and not as a dependent of their parents; or, c.) they have been rendered financially independent due to the involuntary dissolution of their family resulting in relin- quishment of their parent's responsibility and control.

Muddled Mind
Dr. Robert Lawson spoke on the jxplaned his ideas on the process yf human thinking and how we as iiuman beings, deal with the large quantity of information we computers nor rats in a maze." processing-device:" An hour glass where action is taking place at the bottleneck with information coming from both ends." So we are left with "muddle in the middle". The question is how do we deal with it? 'Muddled Mind". Dr. Lawson nust process. But our mind is a limited-capacity rrational. "We are not On Wednesday, October 20th, Man is not totally rational nor"The world is indeed complex and getting more so all the time."
Man has many decisions to make, but the problem lies in a "limited mind operating in a complex world". Therefore, we experi-overload. The problem in dealing with this vast amount of information is fascinating.
Lawson addressed the main style in which we reduce the
"muddle in the middle". Basically Lawson says people
tend to take shortcuts or develop skill in coping "with information overload: Linguistic skills, on-the-job-skills, athletic skills, cognitive skills. But the shortcut technique can sometimes fall short in the thought process. "Judgemental hearistics:" In buying a car (A) you can do it logically or (B) let someone else make the decision for you. Or take a class because someone suggests it" Short-cuts, instead of logic; sometimes they are vital in getting by. But short cuts can be too short "Thinking can become cognitive life in the fast lane." People opt for speed rather accuracy.
Irrationality can stem from a number of areas: too much information too quickly; dealing with representativeness, ignoring basic information and judging erroneously on prejudices and stereotypes; overestimating im- portance, the more it is publiciz- ed; often forgetting those things that maybe important but lack emphasis when we retrieve them from memory. According to Lawson, people tend to over rely on past experience; and although "cold statistical facts" are the
most reliable, clinical psycholo-gists continue to believe their judgements are the best
How can we overcome falling prey to the pitfalls of shortcuts.
Incoporate statically sound infor- mation but do not become computer-like. Be aware of falling into cognitive think traps and be aware of it in others.
Lawson ended by saying "take an opportunity to learn statistics seriously. Lawson is a Professor of Psychology here at Alfred.

DWI
Judy Samber, former District Attorney of Allegany County, was the speaker at Wednesday's Bergren Forum. Her topic was"Driving While Intoxicated." In her opening comments, Samber said she would address the problem drunk drivers, and the "staggering figures of damage and injury." The reason there are so many drunk drivers on the road, according to Samber, is that
"social drinking is very accept- able." She asserted that in order to reduce drunk driving, we must decide not to tolerate drunk driving and to adopt laws so that the outcome of one's drunk driving bears upon their punish-ment.
Samber outlined the current laws in New York on driving while intoxicated (DWI). the punishment for a first DWI offense is suspension of license for 90 days or a minimum fine of
$250 or 15 days in jail or all three depending on the level of impairment and number of previous offenses. the DWI conviction can be either a traffic the man his mother was." Pack continued with his short maxims with contolling images of rela-tionships between father, son, daughter, mother, and a poet to his work prevailing. Pack continued by reading three more monologues. Each monologue begins with a some- what unimportant object and established a theme from this object. His first monologue,
"Brother to Brother," Pack uses pruning shears and then moves toward the central theme of grief that one brother has for his dead father. In his second monologue, Pack moves from an oak tree to baiting fish hooks to pregnancy and finally concluded with the theme of trust. The final monologue of the evening was of a son speaking to his father. In "Remains," the son opens with
plans of a whaling expedition and ends with dissolving a marriage. Pack effectively uses objects as a focus to bring the reader into the story and leads his to a resolution in his final them.
Pack tops off his reading with a poem entitled, "Silver Frame."

Breathalizer and blood test results became admis-sible evidence in 1941. A driver with .10 percent or more alcohol in their bloodstream is consid-ered intoxicated.

'Streetcar'
Division of Perfroming Arts began a gusty, bumpy run of Tennessee Williams' play, "A Streetcar Named Desire." Frank Cornelius, the production's direc-tor, took a large risk in choosing such a difficult show, which is a great challenge even for profes-sional actors to pull off well. The cast and crew of this "Streetcar" deserve congratulations for the enthusiasm and seriousness they exhibited in launching this ambitious theatrical vehicle. the talents of many enthusiastic individuals. However, the support of the cast for each other was not strong enough. Throughout much of the perfor-mance, I sensed the cast's lack of a group feeling of unity which is so vital in creating a strong identification between the audi-ence and the actor. Most of the cast demonstrated strong individ-ual concentration on their char-acters, but these individuals were not reacting spontaneously enough with each other. The pace of the show lagged quite often. Eye contact between many of the leading characters was not used consistently. The cast didn't play off of each other as often as they could have. The most effective scenes in the play were the climatic moments of conflict During these scenes I could feel the audience's involve-ment increase sharply. However, most of the lower intensity scenes failed to create gradual builds in energy and suspense, slowing down the overall rhythm. demands that Tennessee Williams wrote into the play placed a heavy burden on the technical crew. As a result the techinical aspects of this "Street car" displayed some bright spots as well as some noticeable rough areas. Frank Cornelius' set design and John Norton's lighting design effectively established the unpretentious tone of the working On Friday, October 22, the Alfred's production showed off The complexity of technical Continued on page 11.. —Michael 1'ritto, Jr.TONY CAFFALETTE

Well, kids, let's get something straight from the beginning: Ed Stanton is NOT Ruby Schlippers, neither is Daniel Rhodes the Alfred tupperware representa-tive- I AM THE ALFRED TUPPERWARE DEALER. (I also handle some Sarah Coventry on the side-The Alfred Guild beware!) Now that's settled, let's look at the past week in review. SUNDAY: I fizzled through
the wee hours wanting to dance but spent the evening watching the color set at the Pub. (Who really wants to walk all that way to drink beer and watch The Wonderful World of Color-I can do that in my own little corner of my own little room. Hint.) Conley, Bergstein, Domoroski, and Ulman opening upstairs in marvy, marvy, marvy. All of the T.N.'s (tasteful numbers) were there. The hot numbers were Tod and Mark (mostly Mark).

He looked more like the' homecoming queen than any one of those little lovelies pictured on opening they shared their clothes: a grey flannel suit. Tod looked so innocent in the jacket of the combo and his color coordinated knit flares. Mark wore the skirt. (Oh, I forgot to say that it was a woman's suit). Mark completed his attire with a light weight, white wool sweater, that poster, all of the art work shown reflected that classical influence that only Europe could have given. Those four surely set and serve a nice buffet. That punch was certainly creative too, with all of those little yellow mothers floating everywhere. MONDAY: I attended the
All in all the opening was a grand affair and all of you that were not in attendance should try to come to the next one.
Word has it that Mark even has been scouting in Homell for a new gown to wear to it. that boy's always prepared and you'll almost never catch him with his, should I say, 'skirt' down. TUESDAY:The highlight of the evening was listening to Dick Kavesh talk about his authentic Italian recipe that called for a large mouthful of olive oil. Those Italians sure have a way of doing things. WEDNESDAY: Wednesday was one of those days that one tries to forget. I knew it was going to be 'one of those days' early that morning when the ball of my Ban roll on anti-perspirant came out of the bottle and rolled gracefully down my arm, and finally landed in an empty boot. new face in Alfred. The Alfred Guild of Artists brought Rafael Mahdavi, a two dimentional artist from New York City to our little city as part of their visiting artists series. Rafael was a good energy reflector and stirred up all of that dormant energy that sort of thrives in the Design Annex. He spent his delightful lectures, (which, by the way were open to everyone at the U.) three days in Alfred giving slide talking to individual students about anything and everything. Those of you who did not catch him at one time or another, well, next time just try a little harder. THURSDAY: There was a

Iam sitting by an open window, watching the trees bend against their will, almost to the point of breaking. The air is thick with moisture, swelling with anticipation. The leaves scatter and jump through the air, trying to escape from the scene. The Venetian blinds whistle nervously while the shutters hammer against the house in frustration. There is shouting from the clouds. They are angry and bloated from the unwanted gallons of water that they possess.

That gives me life and still more pain;
The feeling of unending solitude That only creeps upon me when
My mind, without thought, floats to her.

Simplistic fools like myself uselessly Fold up their eyes and dimly recollect A past so dreamily once new; A time
Without the pain that now has numbered my soul.
As if I could awake myself to know.
Awake myself to know? What can I know?
What can I know of something dim To mind; Though dim only because I merely see the painless half for now.
The rest, haunting thoughts and feelings Enclosing me in comfortless pity
When Iam half-aware, the rest will soon Exit. More important things call to me Today, not yesterday. Awake again, I will go to them; my time is too short To waste upon reflections of that kind.
Yes, I will run to them.
But now I sit alone again;
Sighing blankly at the sighing blankly at the Blank wall before me.

The slate had been wiped clean
amidst the silence of the night.
The cleaning woman erased the rage and the hurt, and the tears.
The night before
The board was cluttered with loud, angry words.
Written without thought.
The blackboard appeared streaked with images of the past,
but nothing remained legible to restore unwanted memories.

QUESTION: Do you think that overindulgence in Why do you feel this way? alcohol is a problem on this campus?
By Beth Kavookjian
Jodi: "Yes, I've seen alot of
people get wasted at fraternity parties, but not so much at the Pub. I think that it tends to be mostly freshman, mostly wo- men.
Greg: "I don't think it happens
as much as people say it does.
When students overindulge, it tends to be the same few individuals."
Rick:
"I think so. I feel that

It's inconsiderate, and alcohol can be enjoyed in moderate amounts."
Russ: "No, it's a part of college
life. The situation is the same all over the country."
Susan: "No, I don't think so. I
think that there's a great amount of students who do, but a greater majority are concerned with their academics, so it all evens out."

WASHINGTON, October 4 As part of an ongoing program to raise awarness of current hous- ing issues on the nation's college campuses, Fred Napolitano, president of the National Associ- ation of Home Builders, today announced a national essay contest for college students.
"More than any other group of Americans," Napolitano said,
"today's college students have the most to lose if national priorities are not set to reverse a serious erosion in housing oppor-tunities for the young." Napolitano said he hoped the contest would elicit from stu- dents their ideas about the kind of housing they would like to find after graduation and the trade- offs they would be willing to accept in order to make housing more affordable. Students entering the contest are asked to describe in 500-1,000 words: "What do you expect in terms of location, density, design and financing in tomor- row's homes and how will these affect your lifestyle."
Loory
Continued from page 1 Sun-Times," began his career in journalism in 1955 as a reporter for the now-defunct "Newark News." WNBC-TV News and the now-defunct "New York Herald Tribune." In 1968, he won the prestigious George Polk award for journalism. Loory joined the Cable Network News in 1980. A graduate of Cornell Univer-sity, Loory has a master's degree the author of "Defeated: Inside from Columbia University. He is America's Military Machine."
Napolitano said that although builders were already constuct- ing less expensive townhouses, duplexes and walk-up condomin- iums to reduce housing costs, they welcomed new ideas and suggestions from members of the community who would be looking for affordable, yet dynamic housing alternatives in the next few years.
The first-place winner of the essay contest will receive $1,000 and a trip to Washington.
Second and third place winners will receive $750 and $500 respectively. from registered full-time college To be eligible, entries must be students and received no later than November 30, 1982 by the National Association of Home Builders, Public Affairs/Student Program, 15th & M Streets, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005. independent panel of judges and notified during the last week in Winners will be selected by an December.
