Stick to Subtleties
Unclassifieds a r e free, but often costly. It h a s been the policy of the Fiat to print all personal ads submitted anonymously, with the under- standing that any opinions stated a r e not necessarily those of the staff. W e a r e not responsible for such personal remarks, but w e have received complaints.
The Personals section is a lighthearted forum for asides and in-jokes, w h e r e some poor guy named Glauber continues to be h a r a s s e d week a f t e r week, and the lacrosse team gets a chance to play with itself. It never hurt anyone to get picked on a little, but there is such a thing as going too f a r . Every now and then w e print a classified that really rubs someone the wrong way. The person or persons directly affected by this kind of r e m a r k may not quite find the humor in it i n t e n d e d by its a u t h o r .

So keep the maliciousness out of the classifieds, stick to subtleties, and know who your picking on before you bite off their heads.

I had a n interesting conversation with President Miles last week. That's certainly a strange way to begin a n editorial. Your reaction might be something on the order of, " W h a t do I c a r e w h a t this guy Gruder does; anyway, only people with pull can get to see the president." It seems that many, if not most students consider the presidency of Alfred University to be a lofty position and one which is out of touch with the students. Indeed, you probably think that it's not just anyone who can get in to see him. Au contraire, mes amis. In my conversation with the President, he expressed concern that so few students come in to see him.
Granted he has a n unbelievably busy schedule and it is therefore h a r d to find a time when both you a n d the president a r e free, but if you h a v e something that you want, to talk about with him, he is more t h a n willing to spend some time with you.
The president said that most of his information about w h a t is going on on campus comes through a chain of command a n d that even though he often goes to the Campus Center for lunch, he rarely gets students to talk with him.
Ours is a small, supposedly friendly campus.
There is a certain looseness in a president who invites students u p to his house to have fireside chats with C.P.C. speakers after they've completed their lectures. Granted, some people find it h a r d to even talk with their h e a d residents, but this doesn't have to be. And, of course, it shouldn't be this way.
Well, its time once again to start thinking about next year at Alfred-registration, living facilities, and, of course, the bill for next year. Yes, once again, the price of the "Human Experience" h a s risen, this time to $2800 a year, and that's only the academic p a r t - i f your idea of the h u m a n experience h a p p e n s to include eating, sleeping, and other such nominal extras, tack on at least another $1600. But, money is no object when it co comes to an education-knowledge is invaluable.
U n f o r t u n a t e l y , t h e U n i v e r s i t y s e e m s to subscribe to this admirable philosophy only in terms of w h a t w e a r e paying them and not in terms of w h a t we a r e getting in return. This is especially evident in a recent, seemingly r a t h e r hush-hush, administrative decree that the maximum course load for next semester will be dropped to 18 hours. Anything over that amount will cost the student $65 per credit hour. The former maximum w a s 20 hours.
It is my opinion that this action is uncalled for, purposeless, and outrageous.
In seeking information regarding the change, I found that both the Registrar's office and the f i n a n c i a l a i d o f f i c e , a s w e l l a s s e v e r a l Department c h a i r m a n and advisors, h a d not been made a w a r e of it as of several days a f t e r the announcement w a s " m a d e public."
In addition, the reasons I w a s given for the drop in credit hour maximum seemed unsub- stantial, at best unsatisfying. Dean Taylor offered such reason as "to prevent students from signing u p for a heavy course load with the intention of dropping one course, a f t e r the first few weeks of classes". This, he explained, often means t h a t other students a r e closed out of c o u r s e s i n c e t h e c o u r s e s a r e f i l l e d a t Registration. These same courses may only be half-full several weeks onto the semester.
Although t h e problem is a valid one, this solution strilesstrikes me as somewhat b a c k w a r d s in that the students at fault a r e not being hurt (other.- than haveing to make up their minds sooner); the harder-working student wishing to take a heavier load is penalized. A more reasonalbe solution would be to make dropping a course more d i f f i c u l t , t h u s d i s c o u r a g i n g s t u d e n t s f r o m dropping courses.

Something that's been stressed a lot, but h a s rarely been capitalized upon, is that the students in a small private university such a s Alfed have a tremendous amount of power. Believe it or not, the administration (or at least certain members of it) expects us to, indeed encourage us to make our feelings known to those in power. Even the president of Alfred University is not out of the r e a c h of students' voices. He e n c o u r a g e s students to come in a n d see him. He encourages students supposedly in positions of power to h a v e him come to speak with student organizations such as the Student Assembly. Much more t h a n ^ that he can't do. All he c a n do is express his willingness. The rest lies with us. W e either invite him to come talk with us, such as with his informal chats in the dorms last which w e r e concerned with the M a s t e r Plan, or go in a n d make a n appointment to see him.
NO ONE c a n deny the immense amount of power that students h e r e potentially have. They would be silly to do so. Ther more time I spend here, the more I realize t h a t many members ot the administration a r e extremely interested in student opinions. It's h a r d for them to go u p to a student and say "give me your opinion on this issue." So w e must go to them. Even the president of a University should not be oblivious>
to the pulse of the student body as it is perceived by students. Therefore, w e owe it to ourselves to go down to Carnegie Hall a n d make our p r e s e n c e known.

o t h e r s ' s - o t h e r s referring to students taking lighter loads. I think the fallacy of this logic is self-evident. He stated t h a t a major concern of the University, particularly the Financial office, is that students get w h a t they pay for (Does t h a t statement bring a smile-or grimace-to your face?);if some students a r e getting much more t h a n others in terms of hours of instruction, this is not ideally a fair situation.
My feeling is that all students a r e offered the same option-to take u p to 20 credit hours (at present)—and no student is being " c h e a t e d " in this respect. At the r a t e of over $4,000 per year, I have not recently been too worried about getting more t h a n I pay for.
It would seem that t h e r e is very little concrete reason for this action; granted, for a long time t h e , maximum load w a s 18 hours, but it w a s changed to 20 hours (for a n equally undeterminable reason). Why change it back? It seems to be just another w a y for the university to maximally bleed the students while minimally educating them.
P e r h a p s if concerned students speak up, the policy could be reinstated in its previous form. If you feel it is unfair, why not stop in a n d see Dean Taylor, or jot down your feelings and drop them off at the Fiat office? It is one more step t o w a r d getting your $4,000 worth.

Hassles
After having resided in Alfred for almost a full academic year I have come to one particularly negative attitude about the village. Most of the proprietors of our local stores a r e friendly, townspeople,on the whole, are congenial, and even the faculty and administrators we meet off-campus a r e tolerable. There exists however, one segment of working Alfredians that disturbs me to no end.
Last Saturday night I was driving a friend home from campus. On the way to his trailer we noticed a car which had been pulled over by the local police. After dropping my friend off, I proceeded back to our Village, passing on the way, the Alfred Police who were departing from the above mentioned scene. When I approached the Sub Shop the munchies struck, and I had to satiate them by purchasing a sub. While waiting for my food the police pulled up in front of the Sub Shop and one officer got out, ticket in hand, heading for a car parked off the road in front of the shop. The owner r a n out and managed to reach his car before the officer, thus avoiding his ticket.
Lucky for him too; Many times while visiting the Sub Shop I have left my car for three minutes and returned to find a ticket. I often wonder if the Afred Police Department doesn't have , a concealed camera focused on the Sub Shop, keeping constant surveillance, so a s not to miss the opportunity of catching naughty students.
By the time I reached campus the same police car w a s blocking the road and issuing tickets to a few parked cars by the Brick. The police car
•remained, blocking my way for five minutes and
then turned into the library parking lot with spot light on, seeming to check for proper parking permits. I drove away feeling very bitter.
Perhaps you too have observed the same behavior of our local police. Well I do hope the point of this editorial is evident by now. I'm still bitter and very ticked off. I don't believe it is my imagination. It seems that wherever I travel in our village, the Alfred Police are there waiting to catch one person out of line. I won't argue the merits of a Police Department with anyone.
Enforcing the law is a fine thing, when done so in proper context. But constant harrassement of s t u d e n t s ' vehicles a p p e a r s to me v e r y unnecessary, bothersome and a real hassle.
When you come to the realization that the Alfred Police Department would most likely not exist if two colleges weren't located in the village, it becomes ironic that they insist on hasseling the very people who are responsible for the creation of their jobs. Without the revenue which the village receives from the two schools, I doubt that a Police department would exist. I am sure that the income which the Village of Alfred receives from the many tickets which are issued everyday gives a strong boost to their funds.
The next time someone asks why young people don't have respect for police or refer to them with a label depicting an animal, I will ask them to open their eyes and minds and ask themselves the same question. When someone has no respect for me or my peers, why should they deserve respect in return? Human nature, human nature.

Deposits Are Refunded to Seniors If They Wish When and where do seniors get their $50
deposit returned?
A POOR STUDENT According to Mr. Woodie Lange, University Controller, graduating seniors who wish part or all of their deposits returned to them will receive the money at their home addresses during the summer. The deposit will be returned only after the student has been financially "cleared", in other words, when all his/her bills and other obligations have been attended to.
Mr. Lange went on to further explain that in the past it w a s traditional for graduating seniors to

Axles Are Taking a Beating Will the potholes ever get filled? You could break an axle on fraternity road and the corners of Park & University and Park & Ford. Will the school pay for damages from them?
POTHOLE PEEVED Mr. Gene Slack, Director of the Physical Plant, told me that some of the potholed roads you mentioned were town owned roads and therefore are maintained by the town.
Concerning the University owned roads, Park and Fraternity Road, they have been filled in the past and they will continue to refill the holes in the future. The problem is that there a r e only certain times during the year that paving and filling are practical and produce relatively long lasting results. Mr. Slack noted that the above roads will be refilled this summer. He added that it was much too expensive to totally repave the roads, however. It is also hoped that the Ade Hall parking lot will be paved by next September and thai a walkway between the Campus Center and the Brick may be completed by Commencement and if not by then, then over the summer.
As far as potholes found on Ford go, that street is owned and supposedly serviced by the town of Alfred and it is hopefully reasonable to assume that this road will also be serviced with the coming of the good weather.
Pine, the road between Davis Gym and the new Fine Arts Building (Harder Hall), is also in despicable shape due to the strain on the road caused by vehicles connected with the building of Harder Hall. Dr. Tinklepaugh is presently discussing monetary reimbursement matters with the contractors of the building, and hopefully when that is cleared up, the town will fill the potholes there too.
I wouldn't be extremely hopeful, though, that either Alfred University or the town of Alfred would pay for damages incurred while travelling their roads.
Have any questions you can't get answered?
Write to "Action" c / o the Fiat and drop them off at the Campus Center desk.

Letters to the Editors
Delightful Time at A.U.
Dear Editor,
Since this letter is partly a tribute to the student body, you might want to publish it in the Fiat Lux.
Leland Miles Dear President Miles:
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the delightful time I spent at Alfred University on the Middle States Association Case Study. From the moment we arrived until the time we left all of us were treated with consideration and warmth by your entire staff and student body.
My participation in the Case Study has been very rewarding to me, but it has particularly been impressive because I have had an opportunity to witness the leadership that you have manifested at the campus as well as the great support offered by your faculty and staff. As f a r as I'm concerned, Alfred University is one of the few institutions in this country that can be very proud of its president, its administration, its faculty, and its student body.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve and learn in my brief stay at Alfred and please further express my gratitude to all of the other members of the University who were so helpful and thoughtful during those four days.
Cordially, Jerome Whalen Provost, Elmira College
Cottrell Cottage Not the Same
Dear Editor,
Easter vacation has ended. For the most part, students returned to campus, settled in again, and took no notice of the condition of their dormitory. They really have no reason to show concern because the dorms are cleaned everyday (at least to my knowledge, but I could be wrong) and when vacation comes, the students come back to a neat and clean place. This sounds like standard procedure on the University's part in maintaining their responsibilities, but is it?
At Cottrell Cottage it's not quite the same. The girls living at the house have put up with a lot and most of it has been unnecessary. Things never seem to get done, in a convenient manner, too.
When we left for vacation, the washing machine was broken earlier that week. When we returned, there it Sat, unfixed, in the same condition as it was before vacation-with stagnant water in it for over fourteen days. The odour is overwhelming to anyone attempting to use the bathroom. I wouldn't even be surprised if by the time this article gets printed that the washing machine remains just as broken. It's p a r for the course for maintenance at Cottrell. And it isn't the first time.
I really wonder if the University knows w h a t they are accepting as their responsibility in lieu of the conditions at Cottrell and the fact that it is part of student housing and University approved!
If a representative of the Fire Department were to come down tomorrow and check out the house according to State codes and regulations, Cottrell wouldn't have the slightest chance of passing with open stairwells (a fire hazard), paint stored under stairwell (another fire hazard), linen lockers blocking hallway (still another hazard), and tampered fuses (another fire hazard).
This is representative of the University housing at Alfred and the University itself has shown no signs of disapproval in any way. I'm disappointed and disgusted with what the University has gotten away with here, and many fellow inhabitants of Cottrell feel the same. For the money we pay to come to Alfred, you would expect something a little better. But perhaps, we're asking too much of Alfred University...

t i m • w t n . t> em a t t Conversion Tactics Offensive
Indo-China War Over Because ot Closed Lyes A.U.
Dear Editor,
Concerning "Unsettled Dust" from April 6th, 1973.
In the April 6th issue of this paper, I read a sad and interesting article, a fantasy of sorts. To be short, it told the reader that the Vietnam W a r had ended. According to the author, it no longer existed. My intent in questioning such an idea is not to be critical of that wishful thought, but it is to question the rationale behind it.
It seems that when American lives or corporate interests are not in jeopardy, we care very little about what happens to any other humans in the world. President Nixon knows this quite well, so when he took office in 1969, he began a series of troop withdrawals from ground combat positions in Indo-China. By doing so, he gradually reduced the number of U.S. forces being exposed to battlefield fire. Subsequently, American casualty figures declined. As they declined, so did the anti war sentiment in this land, and Americans took up sighing as a national pastime. We mostly sighed about dead people; after all, those who were dying weren't Americans. Sure, there were a few unfortunate Americans who weren't very lucky, but this country was bringing home fewer and fewer men with maimed bodies and lost lives.
Throughout this phase not many Americans maintained their anger and sorrow over the destruction that the w a r w a s causing. As all this was happening, the United States continued its air presence in Indo-China. To be more accurate, air w a r f a r e strength and activities increased somewhat. That didn't bother many Americans though, because most of those involved in this aspect of the war were operating at an altitude of 30,000 to 50,000 feet. The threat that they might be harmed or captured seemed small at that time.
All the figures about our having dropped more tons of bombs on Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos than did the Allied forces on Germany in the Second World W a r didn't strike many unsettling chords. Those figures about dead and homeless people, or the environmental damage being caused simply added more numbers to American life. They were something else to be remembered, like the price of squash or beef. So long as Americans were no longer dying at the rate of one hundred a week, anything was permissible. We even allowed a general to organize his own personal bomb runs on Vietnam in direct conflict with Presidential orders.
The ground troops were leaving, but the B-52's continued to fly from Guam and Thailand to help ensure a lasting peace. We didn't even mind when the bombing increased to blitzkrieg levels last December. I suppose that we were all involved in the Christmas spirit at that time, writing peace on earth messages to all the people we knew.
Then something happened. Many Americans became upset, to the point of concern in fact. It wasn't so much a concern with the barbaric policy as it seemed to be with the fact that a good number of B-52's began to fall out of the sky. It seems that all of a sudden the North Vietnamese bacame fairly adept at shooting down the planes, and with them went a half dozen Americans a shot. Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, and still more Americans, were lost in a span of a week or two.
Nixon reacted to the angered public in his usual manner. He declared that the raids had been so successful that they could be halted. (It's upsetting to think that success, regardless of the means to achieve it, is a breeder of righteousness and morality. Hitler's extermination campaign eas undoubtedly one of the most successful campaigns that the modern world has seen.) In January we learned about an honorable peace treaty, the one that Americans had sighed so much about while waiting for. Perhaps Americans were bored by the thought of a treaty that would bring a generation of peace. The treaty was signed and most of the stipulations were followed. American prisoners were returned, and promptly thanked the President for
annihilating the Vietnamese and their land, thus enabling the prisoners to return home. It doesn't matter that the stipulation demanding that all parties stop fighting has yet to be obeyed, or that Asian people continue to die just as they did before they were blessed with an honorable peace. American prisoners have been returned, and that is all that seems to matter. I suppose that is what gave Mike Schwartz the idea that the Vietnam W a r had finally ended. It may be true that no fighting troops remain in Vietnam, but that's only because the Vietnamese haven't shot down any American bombers lately.
Realistically, the w a r still exists. Perhaps it does so in our names because the great sigh that Mike spoke about began back in 1970 when sons and fathers of Americans were no longer being killed and maimed as much as in the previous years. The sighing has increased quite a bit since then, and being a progressive culture, the sighs have graduated to outright yawns.
Mention almost any subject that involves the welfare of human beings known as, "the other guy," and the response may well be a yawn, a big one.
On the other hand, confront an American with, let's say, something like a $50 charge on campus parking, and you'll begin to see the look of consternation and moral questioning in his or her eyes. You might even see some anger and a desire to do more than yawn.
You were correct in a sense, Mike. The w a r in Indo-China is over, but only because most of us tend to close our eyes when we yawn.

Ethnic Ratio Pathetic
Dear Editor,
This university offers majors in nursing, business administration, sociology, biology and drinking beer, but why not a major in the human experience? I wonder if the students here at Alfred University have the ability, concern or experience to relate their learnings, and ideas to other ethnic groups besides their own white culture. I don't think enough students here have any idea what a human experience is. Alfred's a d m i n i s t r a t i o n should c o n c e n t r a t e on this problem because it is one of the main issues in this fast growing society.
And what better way is there to solve this problem, than by bringing in more black people.
It seems to me that the present ethnic ratio is one per cent blacks, two per cent dogs, one-half per cent other and 96 per cent white. This is pathetic for a university like Alfred. How can the administration call it a university majoring in the Human Experience with figures like this? I as a black man don't feel that Alfred University is living up to this claim. If this problem could be solved, new ideas could be expressed, a more open relationship with other people could be established and students could learn how to work with students who a r e different from them in skin color and culture.
In this day and age, people a r e looking for identity and more individuality. In order to satisfy everyone's needs, each individual must be placed on equal terms. Does this exist at Alfred?
Hell no! Speaking for most of the blacks here, the situation at Alfred must change if it is going to continue to grow as a university. Alfred University must actively recruit black people and emphasize what the university has to offer. Some of the blacks here at Alfred University a r e leaving because the black population is essentially ignored by the administration. Something must be done about this situation. Maybe this is the way some of the people in the administration want it to be, who knows? I hope that the administration takes notice of this problem and starts changing their policies concerning the admissions of blacks. If any student has something to say on this issue, above all, please let it be known!
Terry Bruce
Dear Sirs:
On Thursday night, April 25th, an incident occured in the Brick dining hall which I found to be extremely offensive and I wish to register a public complaint.
Three gentlemen, one of them was Mr.
Crandell, proprietor of the College Bookstore, were passing out copies of the New Testament.
These men had placed themselves in a strategic location such that each student on the meal line was forced to confront them.
It was being placed under compulsion to make the decision to accept or reject a copy of this bible which angered me.
I am a firm believer in the United States Constitution. But I also believe that I do not have to be forced to make that decision in public.
Other Jews whom I spoke with during dinner were also angered by this incident but chose to remain silent. As many students in the Brick know, I did not.
If these men were there with the intention of selling religion, the bible would have contained both the Old and New Testaments. It would take nothing short of a naive student to realize they were spreading a single doctrine. In other terms, they h a d t h e p u r p o s e of c o n v e r s i o n of non-Gentiles.
As a member of a minority I am a w a r e that I am more sensitive, to the movement in the United States toward such coversion, than a Gentile.
I feel that such a display of conversion tactics as seen last Thursday might serve no other purpose than to polarize the Alfred community.
Such tactics should not be tolerated by Jew or Gentile alike.
Sincerely, Richard Pocker
Locked Classroom Unfair
Dear Editor,
Do teachers have the right to lock the doors on students one minute before class is scheduled to begin?
This certainly seems completely unfair to both student and teacher. Although I was not one of the "lucky" ones locked out this morning, I am slightly perturbed at such behavior. I do not feel my fellow students and I are spending $4,200 a year to be, ostracized for coming to class on time and consequently being b a r r e d admittance.
This particular teacher felt he was justified as evidenced by his remark, "If they cannot come to class on time, it's their own fault." Apparently his fault is either bad eyesight or not wanting to teach us all . . .

Professor Orville's Maeical Elixir Dance Marathon in Review
Donation $1.00 5 for $4.0(
by George Karras and Carin Schlang
Professor Orville's Magical Elixer Dance Marathon came to Alfred University on April 6th and 7th, 1973. Remember the good old days when people used to dance until they dropped? Thos nostalgic times were once again seen as 25 couples danced their way into oblivion at the Davis Gym.
The Dance Marathon was first conceived in the minds of Steven Paul Cahn and George Karras in the Pub of American University, Washington, D.C.
The rest is history. George and two other cohorts, Carin Schlang and Robert Carlish, began the tedious struggle of getting the Dance Marathon in motion.
Finally, on April 6th,' things were ready to begin. Twenty-five couples registered to dance for as long as they could. In order of registration, these couples were:
Couple # 0 - Julie Manners, Scott Jenkins I - Larry Reiter, Sarah Schantz 2 - William Haines, Madelyn Goldfarb
3 - Monica Welsh, Erastus Muchiolir 4 - Fred Berger, Vivian White 5 - D. Augenblick, Sally Reisenfeld 7 - Kathy Jenkins, Peter Jenkins 8 - Sidney Bernard, Linda Marks 9 - Robin Bloom, Dan Rath 10 - Henry Reinke, Mary Stone II - Tim Hunter, Tina Heyanka 14 - David Andreassi, Lynn Morlock 15 - Ed Ostrowski, Beeb Krueger 17 - Patty Dew, David Fulkersen 18 - Randy Ryan, Christine Ackerman 19 - Gregory Paynton, Jill Oshin 23 - Christopher Fagg, Emily Pall 24 - Chris Chiarello, Michelle
Schachere
25 - Brooke Sullivan, Gregory Swan These couples then proceeded to dance. The first couple dropped out after approximately the first five hours. The winners managed to hold on to the very end, 25 hours later. But from the moment it began to the time the last note was played, the dancers were terrific, not only in the way they danced, but also in their attitude.
It is not often that so large a group of people deserve so much thanks for action above and beyond the call of normal -responsibility. To try and thank each person individually who helped this D a n c e M a r a t h o n s u c c e e d would be impossible, since all of these people did such, an excellent job. However, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the judges, the concession- eers, the bookies, the time-keepers, the cashiers, and the registrars for all the time and effort they put into making this project such a big success.
Special thanks go to those who donated and sponsored the Dance Marathon couples. Thanks to:

First, second, third, and fourth prizes were divided between the four winning couples.
Usually in dance marathons, there is only one winning couple. However, in our unique university, due to a conspiracy between the four
surviving couples to stop and split the first four prizes evenly four ways, we found ourselves having eight winners. They were:

Campus Plan Approved by Board of Trustees
A $30 million plan for new construction, campus rehabilitation and academic advance- ment at Alfred University has been approved by the institution's board of trustees.
The announcement was made today by the University president. Dr. Leland Miles, and board chairman Philip W. Teft of Columbus, Ohio.
The campus development plan forecasts a 1986 completion date, marking the sesquicentennial anniversary of the University's founding as a rural academy in 1836.
The 13-year program gives first priority to construction of a 280,000 volume library, performing arts center, and residence-hall facilities.
v Semi-endowed professorships, support for overseas study and research, and a campus beautification scheme to include pedestrian malls, walkways and recreation a r e a s are also among the priority projects.
Accorded less urgency are a number of additional residence halls, renovation of the existing library for use by the University's Business Administration School and School of Nursing, and the construction, expansion or remodelling of several other buildings.
Under terms of the plan, a classically austere white-frame structure called Alumni Hall, built in 1852, will be maintained as an historic landmark.
The Steinheim Museum, a miniature Gothic castle constructed in 1876, is scheduled for interior renovation as a University office , complex.
Of the total capital requirements forecast by the plan, $20.4 million will be sought from private sources. The remaining $9.6 million is expected to be derived principally from long-term loans and government grants.
The University's board of trustees approved the $30-million package at the group's March 30 meeting in Rochester. According to Miles, the approved program completes a long-range master-planning process begun in 1970.
^ The initial phase of the process, ratified by the trustees last June, formulated fundamental changes in Alfred's academic structure. These i n c l u d e d s e l f - d e s i g n e d b a c c a l a u r e a t e s t u d y programs, a flexible period of campus residence, and an enrollment limit of 2,750 undergraduates by 1982.
Miles said dollar estimates for capital expenditures in the original planning paper fell short of the $30-million figure released today.
"In the planning document made public last June a number of crucial projects were underestimated or omitted through a lack of foreknowledge of later developments, causing the discrepancy," he said.
Miles added that the new estimates " a r e as accurate as professional judgment can make them and are based on an escalation factor of 8 per cent compounded annually."
The estimates were prepared with the aid of the architectural consulting firm of Saski, Dawson, DeMay Associates of Watertown, Mass.
Miles noted that the facilities portion of the March 30 campus development plan was based partly on a detailed study of the University's 232-acre main campus by the consultants.
The president's own recommendations as well as suggestions from students, faculty, local citizens and a campus advisory group also figured in the final document, Miles said.
As approved by the trustees, the new library will displace Lambda Chi fraternity on State Street. The structure will contain 70,000 square feet of space, cost $4-million, double current book holdings and have an expansion potential to 500,000 volumes.
Preliminary plans for the library make provision for an audio-visual center, auto-tutorial c a r r e l s a n d c o n d u i t s for possible f u t u r e information-retrieval system.. Space is also allocated for an eventual closed-circuit television studio.
A construction start is expected in 1974. The University has said it will help Lambda Chi to relocate.
The performing arts center is budgeted at
$1.5-million. A construction start is planned for 1975, and the building will be located between the James A. McLane Center and Harder Hall at the northwest corner of the campus.
The 25,000 square-foot, two-story structure will incorporate classrooms, rehearsal areas and a scenery workshop for theater and music majors.
The building will not duplicate stage facilities already in existence on the campus.
The aesthetic development of the campus is expected to cost $1.9 million through 1982. It will
include demolition of unsightly buildings, the restoration of the Kanakadea Creek bed, the construction of pedestrian walkways and malls, recreation a r e a s and green spaces.
Under the plan, utility lines will be placed underground and perimenter parking will be developed for cars banned from the center campus.
The first group of residence halls, housing 120 students, wil be located next to the New Women's Dormitory, near Alumni Hall. The cost is budgeted at $1.2-million, with a construction start scheduled for 1974.
Among second and third priority projects, South Hall will be demolished. Herrick Memorial Library will be remoldelled for use by South Hall t e n a n t s (Business School, d e p a r t m e n t s of sociology and political science, and education).
Allen hall, which houses the School of Nursing and Health Care, will also be demolished under the plan, with the school transferred to Herrick.
The remodelling and expansion of the Rogers Campus Center is also proposed under the plan.
The added space will contain quarters for Radio Station WALF, student publications, and the University's student placement office. The student affairs office will remain in its present location, Carnegie Hall.
Work on Herrick and the Campus Center is scheduled for 1977. Estimated cost of the two projects is $2-million.
The plan proposes remodelling the Steinheim Museum for administrative office space in 1979.
Cost is estimated at $410,000.
Expansion of the physical plant complex by 25,000 square feet is proposed for 1978, at a cost of $375,000.
Additional residence halls with quarters for 180 students a r e planned for the southern edge of the present astronomical observatory. Cost is placed at $2.3 million. The plan suggests shifting the observatory to Jericho Hill.
In addition to priority and non-priority construction, renovation and endowment pro- jects, the total $30-million planning figure includes funds for building maintenance, library acquisitions and direct support to academic programs.
Miles said project priorities and dollar figures would be subject to periodic review.
Harder Hall to Be Dedicated May 5
Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer of the State ' University of New York will be the main speaker
May 5 at ceremonies dedicating the $5.6 million library-fine arts building at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University.
Construction of the 96,000 square foot library-fine arts building was begun early in 1970 and completed last month. It will be named in f honor of a former teacher and administrator at the College of Ceramics, Charles M. Harder, who died in 1959.
Following the May 5 dedication ceremonies the building will be open to the general public beginning at 12:30 p.m. It will be open again to visitors the next day.
Harder, a noted studio potter, is considered a key figure in the evolution of what has become the Division of Art and Design of the College of Ceramics. The unit offers instruction in pottery, s c u l p t u r e , p a i n t i n g , p h o t o g r a p h y , g r a p h i c s , woodworking and glass.
Beginning next September, Harder Hall will house art-division studio and classroom space, a four-story specialized ceramics library, 425-seat auditorium, art gallery and offices for faculty members and administrators.
The college's Division of Engineering and Science will continue to be housed separately on campus.
The new library-fine arts building was constructed in the form of a square surrounding an open courtyard containing a conical kiln and j ) funace room. A major design feature of the
structure's brick facade is its contemporary pattern of overhangs and setbacks..
The Harder Hall ceremonies will include formal dedications of the library, art gallery, and

The art gallery will be named for two former art teachers, Miss Marion L. Fosdick and Miss Clara K. Nelson, both of Alfred.

P.I.R.G. Busy Since Vacation
Although carrying around petitions will not be their permanent fate, supporters of P.IJR.G.
(Public Interest Research Groups) have been-busy since before Easter break seeking out student a p p r o v a l for t h e o r g a n i z a t i o n . P e t i t i o n s supporting P.I.R.G. were circulated before v a c a t i o n w i t h a n overwhelmingly positive response; however, due to the large number of people who had already gone home, many students were not reached. As a result, petitions are again being circulated in all dormitories.
Signing the petition is merely a statement of support of the formation of a P.I.R.G. on the Alfred campus. P.I.R.G. is essentially an organization which facilitates student lobbying power. Groups of students research problem a r e a s in such fields as consumer fraud, pollution by corporations and institutions, and unethical business practices, present the facts, and a r e supported by a professional, full-time staff of lawyers, scientists, etc., when necessary. It is financed by a voluntary $2 per student per semester donation; this amount is added onto tuition. However, any student not wishing to monetarily support P.I.R.G. can get his $2 refunded. This would probably be taken care of at registration at the beginning of the semester.' P.I.R.G. is a non-profit organization, and in order to remain non-profit, it must be funded voluntarily; thus there is no danger of money not being returned.
P.I.R.G. has been very successful on other campuses and has proved a powerful- tool for constructive change.
Meetings are being held weekly on Thursday evenings at 10 p.m. in the MacNamara Room of the Campus Center. All interested students a r e invited to attend. For further information, contact Tony Russo at 587-3765.
Knifing in Crawford
Last Saturday night at about 9:00 P.M., there was a brawl in Crawford Hall which resulted m a knifing. There w a s a fight between two people who do not attend Alfred University. Another non-university person tried to break up the fight and in doing so was knifed. The three were visiting students attending Alfred University. He was not seriously injured although he did receive some stitches.
Area Coordinator Steve Kern and Crawford Head Resident Lou Marotta were instrumental in calming the situation down. The police were called in (not by Kern or Marotta) and at press time, no action had been taken by the police.
Since the situation involved non-University people, Bill Allen, Director of Safety, has asked the two who were fighting to leave the Alfred campus and not to return.
Lanshe No Longer Chairman
Effective next fall, Dr. Richard Lanshe will no longer be chairman of the Division of Performing Arts. The reason for this decision, which was made by Dean Taylor of the College of Liberal Arts and ratified by Dr. Barton, Provost, and President Miles, is many-fold. It appears to be primarily due to overwhelming dissatisfaction with Lanshe on the parts of both the P.A. faculty and students.
It is expected that Dr. O'Hara, chairman of the English Department, will be appointed acting or interim chairman of the P.A. Division.
Additionally, he would remain chairman of the English Department. This move makes it possible that P.A. and English might consolidate into a division as early as next year.
The move from a department to a divisional structure is mandated in the Master Plan. It is speculated that if P.A. and English do not consolidate, P.A. may remain a separate division.
Some P.A. people feel that if the present increases in P.A. enrollment continue, than by the time the new Performing Arts Center is built, the number of P.A. majors may w a r r a n t a separate P.A. division.
There will be a meeting on May 11 to finalize plans for the P.A. Division for next year and the near future.
Cherry Bomb Explodes Window
A cherry bomb sent fragments of screening and glass flying when it exploded about 2 a.m.
Thursday morning, April 26, at 44 S. Main Street.
According to Rus Washburn, who rents the house to students, a cherry bomb was apparently taped onto the screen of a r e a r bedroom on the ground floor of the house. The room is rented by a female student.
Right after the explosion, a light was shown in the window; presumably after surveying the damage, the intruder fled. The occupant, who had been asleep at the time, was not hurt. No apparent reason for the incident is evident other than " a n acquaintance trying to give her a start,"
as Washburn put it. He added, "I really don't think whoever did it did it to maliciously hurt her." The victim was reportedly too frightened to
Carse Views Death
On Thursday, April 26, James Carse was a guest speaker of the CPC and the 20th Century and its Roots course. His talk, entitled "Death and Personhood," w a s presented in McLane Center, at 8:15 p.m. The audience was estimated to have been nearly two hundred, and faculty members, as well as students, were well represented.
Dr. C a r s e , w h o s e b a c k g r o u n d i n c l u d e s undergraduate work at Ohio Wesleyan, and masters work in divinity and theology at Yale, has spent his last five years as a faculty member at N.Y.U. He is a lecturer in the history and literature of religion.
Dr. Carse's talk centered around the idea that man must be willing to accept death as " a n absolute end, with no remainder," and that in <
doing so, he may focus his attention on life and interpersonal relations. He proposed that "once he (man) has become immortal, he is unable to love."
Dr. Carse flatly denied the doctrines of immortality and resurrection, and stated his view that if man were to deal with grief and death as inevitable, final ends, he would be much more sensitive to the world presently surrounding him.
He also stated that "today's society tries to undo the reality of death." Instances of this were cited in institutions for the terminally ill and in the practices of funeral directors, who try to disguise death.
After his talk, which lasted about an hour, Dr.
Carse accepted several questions from the a u d i e n c e . His views c e r t a i n l y p r o v i d e d >

move, even to call the police a t the time. Mr.
Washburn summoned the police when he w a s informed of the incident.
,ij Washburn expressed great concern that many people were not a w a r e of the potential danger of ' such explosives; a small fragment of flying glass is sufficient to blind or otherwise seriously hurt a person. He hopes that publicizing the event will wake u p " the pranksters who don't think before they act.

"Spanish hand gestures" was the topic ot a presentation given by Art Rockmill and Ben Ostrer at the monthly meeting of the Sigma Tau chapter of Phi Sigma Iota, the National Romance Language Honor Society. Also highlighting the meeting, at the home of Ms. David Lewis on April 26th, was the induction of new members. New members are chosen on the basis of academic achievement, particularly in the area of Romance
Languages.
The eight initiates, including Diane Askew, Marlene Cohen, Donald Levi, Kate Napier, Norbert Rudell, David Starfield, Wendy Stewart, and Henry Strutz (not present were Daniel v f e r n a n d e z and Karen Morse) wer6 welcomed ipto the society by the present membership which donsists of faculty members as well as students.
Reference Work Includes 2 Brooklyn College Summer Session to Get Underway
Two faculty members at Alfred University have been selected for inclusion in the 1973 edition of American Men and Women of Science, a standard reference work.
They a r e Dr. Robert A. Heineman. chairman of the department of sociology and political science, and Dr. George H. Gardner, professor of sociology.
Heineman holds a doctorate in government from the American University, Washington, D.C.
He is a former faculty member at Bradley University in Illinois and at Eastern Washington State College.
Gardner is considered a specialist on Arab society. He holds a doctorate in sociology from V Princeton University and taught for 12 years at the American University in Cairo, Egypt, before joining the Alfred faculty in 1962.
Allenterm ta Tighten Up
Next year's Allenterm will undergo what Dean Butler, chairman of the Allenterm committee, terms a "tightening up." In past years Allenterm projects were graded high pass, pass and no credit. Failures will now be recorded on the students' transcripts. Two Allenterm grades of pass or high pass will still be required for graduation. Next year all projects will require a faculty sponsor where as in the past any staff
* member was able to sponsor a project.
During the faculty meeting of April 12, guidelines were established concerning all future Allenterm projects. Decided recommendations were as follows: all projects should be positive and productive; projects must have academic content; they must be learning experiences, and they must be full time (exactly how many hours per week constitutes full time was never arrived upon.) Next year there will be a two thousand dollar allocation to the Allenterm committee for , student initiated projects, as compared to one
thousand last year.
(gestionnaire Answers Needed
During a n d a f t e r E a s t e r V a c a t i o n a questionnaire examining drug use was distribut- to a random sample <jjf University students. A large number of questionnaires have been returned. We would like to have as complete a return as possible so that the survey will yield an accurate reflection of Alfred drug use.
Some people seem to be concerned that they can be identified in some manner in returning the questionnaire. The apprehension seems to be centered on the card which you are requested to return. The purpose of the card is simply to lend some organization to our end of the survey.
The card w a s included so that we would know y a person had received the questionnaire and w a s participating in the study without the person having to provide any identification on his questionnaire form or answer sheet.
We assume some people in the sample may not have received their questionnaire, and we want*
to encourage everyone in the study to participate by returning their answer sheets and question- naire. In order to do this, and to answer any questions which might arise, we will be calling everyone who has not returned a card.
* Concern has also been voiced in regards to w h r t is going to be dqne with the results of the survey. The researchers are carrying out this survey because they feel the information will be ' interesting to the student body.
Results will also be available to members of the Psychology Department, who are interested in carrying out further studies which would be helpful to the Alfred Community. The Student Affairs Office has also expressed interest in the results of the survey.
W e would like to again encourage you to answer and return the questionnaire to the Psychology Department. If you send the card f back as well, separate from your answers, that will inform us that you did receive and send back the questionnaire.
If you do not wish to send in the card please do still return your completed questionnaire.
Brooklyn College's extremely popular double summer session for undergraduates, first begun two years ago, will get underway June 14 and allow students the opportunity of earning up to 16 academic credits.
Last summer, over 15,000 students enrolled for the extended session, one of the largest summer enrollments in the college's history.
This year the double session will comprise two sessions of six weeks each. Students may take a maximum of eight credits for each session if they register in the day, or seven credits in each session if they register in the evening.
The college's Graduate Division will continue on its single session schedule, with five weeks for day students and six weeks for evening students.
Registration for both undergraduate sessions will take place June 8,11, 12, and 13, with classes for day and evening schedules beginning on June 14. Graduate registration is June 25, with evening classes starting June 27 and day classes July 2.
Graduate courses will end by August 2.
Both undergraduate day and evening session classes will end by July 25. All classes for the second summer session will begin July 16 and end by August 31.
Students from other colleges within the City University of New York must fill out a special application to Brooklyn College available in the registrar's office of their home college and file that application, signed by their registrar, in the Booklyn College registrar's office by late spring.
Permission to register will also be granted to students from other colleges and universities.
It was pointed out by college registrar Charles Wantman that acceptance to attend the double summer session does not guarantee admittance to

Eleanor Seiling, President of United Action for Animals, Inc., announced today that UAA is turning to the universities in an intensive search for young executive talent. "A new breed of humane leaders is needed," she said, " a n d they should come from the reservoir of well-educated young people now in our universities and about to embark upon their c a r e e r s . " She noted that historically almost all of the people in animal welfare work in general and laboratory animal work in particular are there because of a keen sense of injustice to animals and a high degree of motivation, but, she observed, "they lack both the ability to inform themselves adequately and the p r o f e s s i o n a l i s m n e e d e d to solve c o m p l e x problems."
The President of UAA pointed out that there exists a vital need for leaders of executive calibre in the field of animal welfare in general and laboratory animals in particular and that the rewards a r e great, personally and professionally.
"But," she added, "candidates for this work must show a very high degree of motivation."
Interested persons should write to United Action for Animals, Inc., 509 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10017, giving full details, keeping in mind the qualifications outlined.
