New Course System
i
L.A. and Nursing Schools to Offer a More Liberal Education
W. Dwyer Speaks as a 'Friend" to Nixon
Donahd A. Streed
The College of Liberal Arts and the School of Nursing are finalizing preparations for the new Course System to be implemented in September at those branches of AU. The Course System offers a more liberal education to the students.
Four courses will be considered a full load. This will give students an opportunity for greater in-depth study by providing the students with more study time or it will give students a chance for a very broad study by offering many exciting half courses.
The requirements for fulfilling a major have also decreased. Only six to ten courses may be required and there are now only guided electives. (The required related electives have been eliminated.)
Dean Taylor said, "In all, it looks as if the New Course System will reduce the preparations for the student and give the student a better chance to fulfill his personal goals."
Registration of courses for the first semester of the 1972-1973 school year will be held during May 10-18. All students not plan- ning to complete their degree requirements by the end of the summer should go to the Records Office to pick up their Schedule of Courses booklet and Course Description booklet. Advisors have the registration materials for the individual students.
After picking up their registration materials from ad- visors; sophomores—go to the Department Chairman of the field in which you wish to major, graduate students—go to Dean Butler and then to the Records Office. All others should follow your advisor's directions and the directions in the fron of the Schedule of Courses booklet in filling out your schedule.
The advisors in the School of Nursing and in the College of Liberal Arts have all the needed information pertaining to the new Course System.
Conversion to the Course Plan
1. Students may remain in the curriculum and requirements under which they entered, or may convert to the new LA curriculum and course plan. It is assumed that most will elect the latter option.
2. Credit hours accumulated thus far divided by 4, equal courses taken. Subtract from 30 courses required for graduation and you will have the number of courses needed to complete requirements.
(Example: student has completed 90 credit hours. This equals 22V2 courses. Student needs 1lk courses for graduation).
3. A course will be equivalent to four credit hours in converting to credit hours; a half-course equals two credit hours.
4. During the transition to the course plan, we will allow a three credit hour course to count as a full course toward the general education requirements. The student will need to make up the difference, however, towards his total course requirement for graduation.
Half Courses
1. Courses and half courses will be listed thus in the course schedule:
FULL equals full course for the full semester
H- equals half course for the first half of the semester
-H equals half course for the second half of the semester
H-H equals half course for the full semester (only a few)
2. Any deviations from the above will be carefully noted (example: there will be a few half-courses running the full year, such senior seminars).
3. First half courses will from Sept. 11 - Oct. 27.
Second half courses will run from Oct. 30 - Dec. 15.
(Note: the first half is three teaching days longer than the second half, and ends on the day mid-term grades are due. This will allow for a little start-up time and for exams).

William F. Dwyer, Monroe County Republican Chairman, spoke last Monday evening to some 50 persons gathered in the Parents Lounge of the Campus Center.
Dwyer's appearance on campus was as a "Friend" to the re- election drive of President Richard Nixon.
In calling for the re-election of the President, Dwyer cited the achievements of the present ad- ministration.
He pointed to the large U.S. troop reduction in Vietnam as being a point in President Nixon's favor.
Dwyer said that Nixon has restored a measure of credibility to the Presidency by keeping his word on the War. Each time the

In their brief talks, Ben Ostrer, Joe Kern, Kathy Bouchard and Gail Anderson, running for the offices of chairman, vice- chairmen, secretary and treasurer respectively, spoke of the need to overcome student apathy and of their hopes that the Assembly will grow both in power and im- portance.
Eric Vaughn, co-chairman of the Committee on Hot Dog Day, reported that the fund-raising
Parents' Weekend grossed $6,000. He expects a net profit of $4,700 which will be donated to the Alfred Community Chest. He noted that he is looking forward to a bigger and better Hot Dog Day next year.
One hundred dollars was allocated to two students to reimburse them for materials and labor used in improving two rooms at 6 Sayles Street for use as meditation rooms at the Thursday Assembly meeting. When not in use for purposes of meditation, the rooms will be available for general student use.
A proposal that $500 be allocated to The United States Scholarship Fund was tabled due to lack of details. Unanimously passed was a motion calling for $500 to be set aside for a Student Loan Fund.

V.C. of Student Assembly
President has announced a with- drawal of troops and a date for that withdrawal it has been met, he stressed.
Touching on the issue of draft reform, the Monroex County Republican echoed the sentiments expressed a week earlier by Minority Leader Geral Ford by saying that the United States was on the verge of adopting the con- cept of an all volunteer military
force. Nixon must be given credit, Dwyer said, for the great strides made in this area.
Pointing to the acumen of President Nixon in the field of foreign affairs and the art of diplomacy, he hailed the recent Presidential trip to Red China.
Disregarding all political con- sequences, Nixon made the journey to China in order to bridge the -differences existing between our two countries. Dwyer called it a great step forward for world peace and said regardless ,of political faith all Americans should look to Nixon's diplomacy and peace efforts with pride.

Library Sets
Student Requests
By KATE DALY
The Herrick Memorial Library Committee met last Monday to discuss the allocation of $1,000 for student requests. Most requests offered by students involved equipment, such as study carrels, which cannot be purchased for
$1,000. Another large number of requests came in the form of a bibliography of books on Feminine Liberation and the condition of Women. The remainder of student requests for the expenditure of the funds were scattered among several areas, most of them not specific enough to act upon.
The final allocation of the money was as follows: $750 for books on women's liberation, $150 for critical literature, $75 for elementary education, and $25 for chess books. The women's liberation books will be purchased from the list which was given to Walter Franklin, the library Director, by several students. The critical literature and elementary education books will be chosen by the English and Education departments, and the chess books will be ordered by Dr. Roger H.
Moritz, who supervised the chess Allenterm.
W. Snodgrass to give a Reading from his works Monday at 3 p.m.
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet W.
D. Snodgrass will give a reading from his work at 3 p.m., Monday, May 15, in Howell Hall.
Mr. Snodgrass' first volume of poems, Heart's Needle, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1960.
The title poem, which has been widely anthologized, deals with a man's relationship to his daughter, from whom he has been separated by divorce. This difficult, twenty- page poem received high praises for its superb craftsmanship, its bedrock sincerity, and its distinc- tive personal voice. Mr Snodgrass' more recent and more ex- perimental vnlump After Ex-
perience, represents an expansion and development of his earlier themes and techniques, and has established him, along with such writers as Robert Lowell, W. S.
Merwin, and the late John Berry man, as an American poet of the first distinction.
Mr. Snodgrass has taught at Wayne State University and is presently Professor of English at Syracuse University. He has given readings in many parts of the United States, and is regarded as one of the best oral interpreters amont contemporary American poets.

Editorial...
Donald A. Streed This is the last FIAT of the 1971-72 school year.The staff feels that the FIAT is moving towards a credible and plausible existence.
We now have many young and interested staff members who can maintain the FIAT at its present position for the next few years. But we do not want to maintain the FIAT In its present position. We wish t6 expand ahd provide our readers with a better coverage of the Alfred University Community.
Next year we are planning to present .you with a news-magazine instead of a newspaper. We will offer students a chance to publish their creative work, be it poetry, short stories, photographs, or what have you.
We will print on a regular basis, old magazine stories like that from Liberty magazine and we will reprint articles of pertinent material from other news
sources. We are also trying to set up a journalism course (for anyone to take) aimed at educating our writers In the proper writing techniques in the news field.
All of this cannot happen if more people do not show a greater interest in the FIAT. We desperately need people to cover news beats on the University campus and In the village of Alfred. It is not that difficult and quite frankly it Is quite interesting. You get to know the people on your beat as individuals.
Yog will get to know their habits and their respon- sibilities. You will learn how they work and how the community works around them. You will learn the operations of a small business which holds a very large grip on its community.
On Thursday, May 11th, at 8 p.m. sharp, there will bean organizational meeting for next year's FIAT. I will briefly review what has happened this year and I will explain our plans for next year. We also Intend to discuss the actual format of the new magazine style and we will take a look at what new problems will face us for the coming year. At the conclusion of the meeting we will probably transfer our bodies into the pub at which point we will commence to talk seriously. I hope to see you there!
Campus Physical Shape
Dear Sir:
Over four weeks ago, I spoke to Mr. Eugene Slack, Driector of the Physical Plant, and asked him why our campus looked like such a mess. He provided me at that time with a long song and dance about why the campus was in such poor physical sahpe, but he assured me that, it would soon be cleaned up.
Today, there is no observable improvement in most areas of this campus. The streets are still filthy, the lawns are still covered in parts with garbage and are battered up,
Hot Dog Day: Success
Bravo! I think Mark O'Meara and Eric Vaughn, helped by numerous Alfred University and Alfred Tech students, deserve much praise for the Hot Dog Day.
This surely was one time when everybody could participate and enjoy an event simultaneously.
Why was this never done before?
It was a wonderful way to have fun and contribute to a good cause. The job of advertising was well handled and well timed.
The spaghetti dinner at the Brick was also superb. What better place to go to eat after the festivities and before the play; or just to eat good food. The service was efficient and fast.
What more can we say, but a job well done.
Sincerely,
Maria Rodriguez-Diaz Butcher By RICK VAUGHN
AND MARK O'MEARA Anyone who was there knows that the day was a success, everyone had a good time. Hot Dog Day came about after four months of hard work and it was totally worth the effort. Two students put together the organization of it, but the students, administrators, faculty, and townspeople who worked so hard, made it happen.
For the first time that I can remember, the Tech, the University, and the Village made
something work and had a lot of fun doing it.
The final count of what we took in was around $5500. From this amount we will pay all our bills and then make donations to the Community Chest and other organizations. Each individual and every organization that par- ticipated in making Hot Dog Day happen, deserves credit for its success. As hard as I could try, I'd never be able to thank all the people whose help was so valuable.
All I can say is "Thank you." You gave Alfred something it won't soon forget, a party.
Hot Dog Day 1972 is now past, but start thinking about HHD '73!
Thank you again.
P.E. Center Gripe
Dear Editor,
Last night my friend Cory and I went down to the "McLane Physical Education Center" and tried to play some handball being in the spirit of mind for
strengthening our physical stamina. We arrived at 6:30 p.m., one half hour after the equipment was supposed to have been there.
We were flagrantly abused by various jock athletes and juggled by the universal gymnasium when we came only for the innocent purpose of procuring a handball.
After nearly 60 minutes of this
Special Services Fee
The University's announcement last week that fees would be placed on "special services" next year has raised a bothersome point.
In particular, I question charges being placed on VD, pregnancy and mono tests. VD, as one example, has reached "epidemic proportions" throughout New York State. On campus, as well, VD is
(at the very least) a serious problem. Persons are typically hesitant to seek medical care when they suspect VD. Certainly a minimal fee for lab tests whould and will not prevent most students on campus from seeking medical care. It will, no doubt, make some individuals think twice before
On a college campus where VD problems already exist, levying costs for diagnosis will, at the very least, stagnate the situation and probably even worsen the problem of spread of VD.
It is understandable that the infirmary must raise and impose new fees for student care.
However, it is my belief that certain of these fees for special services (particularly those fees which involve diagnosis of con- tageous disease) be reconsidered and-or perhaps financed by alternative means other than direct student charges (i.e., Ad- ministrative or Student Assembly support).

Baseball Is A Challenge
the road near the old gym still needs to be filled in, and a number of buildings still need to be painted.
In the past, one used to be able to take pride and enjoy the beauty of our campus particularly during this month of May. Now, however, our campus has never looked so bad. I think it right for Mr. Slack to provide us with a new song and dance that is able to justify this discouraging situation.
Most sincerely, Larry Fieber Class of 1972
Nearly three years ago when 1 arrived at Alfred University as a freshman, I discovered that there was no varsity baseball team. Having played three years of high school baseball, I had actually looked forward to the higher caliber of college baseball's challenge.
I spent a great part of both fali and winter of that year gathering both the "why's?" and "why not's?" Upon completion of this personal poll, I must say I was not at all convinced that the situation should stay unchanged.
The most popular rebuttal in- volved the spring weather here.
Now I ask you, how much dif- ference is there in weather bet- ween Alfred, Hobart, Geneseo, St.
Bona venture and Alfred Tech? I might add that all of the preceeding schools have varsity baseball teams with the exception, of course, of Alfred University.
Another nauseatingly frequent answer to the absence of baseball here is the so-called lack of interest on the part of the students. Well, not only do I hgppen to know enough willing students-to start a capable team, but I'd have enough left over to name batboys, ballboys, and Waterboys.
Thirdly, it has been brought to my attention that we lack a baseball field. In reply to this I believe that it's justified to say that we would be able to work out something with the Tech in order to use theirs.
At this point I think that you
should know that this is not a protest letter, as I'm not at all bitter about the whole thing. I'm merely attempting to bring out into the open how I feel. If you agree with me go down to the gym and
•see your favorite coach. If you disagree with me, so what? I had to try.
Steven Schwaber
useless travail, we swallowed our pride and ascended the stairs to watch the Charlie Chaplin film in the Nevins Theatre, which I am told has some nefarious connection with Dr. David Ohara.
The next night, overcoming the disappointing experience of the previous night, we again made the sojourn to the so-called "physical center", having purchased our own handball at some personal cost, and in true optimism for the coming game, we immaculately dress in our gym suits for a game of handball, only to have our ears molested by the trivial quibbling between the ticket taker, and his immediate superior. A short way down the hall, we found to our great dismay and wonderment that the handball court was locked and beyond our acquisition. You can barely imagine the pent up rage directed at the mere formality of a door, a tool of the administrators.
But squelching the primal emotion to reduce the door to rubbish, and enter the handball courts clan- destinely, and in the fleeting seconds between the time we gained entrance to these hallowed halls, and the moment when the trigger happy A.U. Sscurity Guards, summoned on a moment's notice by the ticket takers shivering in a corner at the dynamic spectacle of true socially induced masculine rage, came rushing, guns ablazing, in upon us, leaving no stone unturned, to relieve our frustrations in a faster than light game of handball. We returned again passing the ticket takers seeing the very keys which restrained us from the courts on one of the men standing naively by the door. We asked him why it was we could not partake of the physical instruments of this educational community. He said,
"'Cause there's a cultural event going on." What foreshortened anti-climax this was, what a sham of justice that places the societal etiquette of chamber music before the relieving of the most basic urges when they could most easily, peacefully coincide.
Sincerely, Cory Levins and Stuart P. Marks

While watching Alfred University's production of
"Oklahoma" I couldn't help but think of Paul Simon's line: "is the theatre really dead?" What I think he meant by this phrase was that the theatre itself is. not dead, in- deed it will never die, but that the originality, the life-force has somehow been missing.
I often wonder why people insist on digging up worn out old plays to perform in front' of an audience that has been deprived of good theatre for so long. It's true'that
"Oklahoma"*' is an .American classic and it's also true that this was Parents' Weekend, but please don't insult our artistic appetite and don't think that the parents would not or could not sit through a play that is modern, provocative, and well done.
Why is it that with the help of all the theatre, music, and dramatic professors the play could not satisy part of the audience? Is it because we are sick and tired of seeing
someone do his Paul Linde imitation over and over and over ad nauseum? Or that seeing the same two people starring in very major production playing the same basic roles makes us think that they've been in at least twenty shows together?
It seems only right that the professors should be afraid of the small, creative, dynamic theatre group that has challenged the hackneyed productions and are in the process of formulating a beautiful summer program. Let those professors sneer and protest as much as they want because there is more creativity and love for the theatre embodied in that small group than anywhere on tnis campus.
If you were satisfied with
"Oklahoma", fine. But if you weren't, I suggest you talk to the summer theatre people and find out just how student and teacher meet around here. You may be surprised.

By MIKE SCHWARTZ The war continues.
Nixon says that it is winding down.
Tell a Vietnamese mother that, as her children and husband lie dying, killed by American-made bombs dropped by American-made planes, piloted by American soldiers.
President Nixon went on television Wednesday night to discuss the increased bombing and what he plans to do in the near future. The President said that the naval and air attacks on North Vietnam will continue "until the North Vietnamese stopped their offensive in South Vietnam." (I have yet to un- derstand how the killing of civilians will result in the defeat of an army.) The reason for this continuation, related Mr. Nixon, would be to further help the Vietnamization process. With this increase aid, the South Vietnamese would be able to withstand the latest invasion by North Vietnam.
Pentagon sources said that the United States would be sending 36 more F-4 fighter bombers to Southeast Asia. This would bring about 200 bombers flown to the war zone since North Vietnam started to invade the South late in March: This increase would make this the largest air force ever assembled in any theatre of war. To add to this, the Navy has doubled its amount of ships off the Vietnam coast.
And the President says that the war is winding down.
True, Nixon has said that the troops are leaving Vietnam (another 20,000 troops are expected to be withdrawn in the next two months), but what the troops are being replaced with are bombers and ships. (Gen. Abrams, the commander of the forces in Vietnam, is proud to point out the fact that during the World War II, the same tactic was used by him to beat the enemy—bomb the hell out of them until they surrender.) How can the American people be proud of winning a war by mechanization? WWI and WWII were ended because too many soldiers on both sides were being killed. But now, in Vietnam, the number of American soldiers being killed is steadily decreasing. Instead bombs are dropped on civilians. What has the American people got to lose to keep this war going? Nixon's invincible logic has once again baffled us.
Last week, the United States estimated 1,000,000 soldiers have died in the Vietnam conflict since 1961: 45,703 Americans; 159,839 South Vietnamese; 4,875 other Allied troops, and 810,757 Communists. (Time Magazine: April 29). The war is far from over. More people will continue to die as the fighting continues.
Whether the outcome of the war be victory, defeat, or stalemate, too many have died—too many maimed—too many forever mentally destroyed to make this Vietnam War justifiable by the "domino Theory" that Nixon has once again stipulated.
It begins with a Keepsake Ring. Keepsake—a perfect center diamond of precise cut. There is no finer diamond ring for your love story.

Mitz's Complaint
When the postcard arrived proclaiming that my Mother and her husband were "schlepping on down" to visit my apartment, I knew I had nothing to worry about.
\The place was immaculate if she 3idn't look in closets, drawers, under and behind the couch and in the oven, which of course she would And I wasn't worried by the fact that she's allergic to dogs, cats, hamsters, birds and dust, all of which I have as pets. But it was too late to send my dust to obedience school-
I knew I had everything to worry about.
"Don't worry about anything,"
my friend Ernest told me. "My Mother comes to visit once a month with her cleaning lady. Just hide your copy of Portnoy's Complaint.
If she sees it, she'll think you're trying to tell her something."
"But I don't have a copy of Portnoy's Complaint." "Then get one. And hide it. You'll
•"feel better:"
I cleaned and dusted everything.
I cleared off a shelf and prominently displayed the bir- thday presents my parents had sent me the last two years—a 12- speed blender and a combination electric can opener and knife sharpener. I knew I was ready when Ï picked them up at thë~
airport.
"So how come you came to pick us up alone?" my Mother asked.
"Would you like to meet my friends?"
. "You think your father and I flew millions of miles on a dangerous 007 to meet your friends? Morrie, give the boy some money to go get his head examined."
As we walked up the front stairs to my apartment building, I heard my Mother whisper something- just loud énough for the immédiate neighborhood/^:o hear. "Morrie, I doh't like it J The boy lives in a tenement. Tell him to move back home, Morirle."
And then |hey walked in, looked around anoj my Mother's com- ments went something' like this:
"What are all these plants doing here? Don't you know how much hydrogen they use up? Are you trying to suffocate yourself? I don't like it, Morrie. This letter here—
^/who's it to? It would kill you to write home? I don't like it, Morrie."
And then she went to work. She dusted and sprayed, washed and waxed. She put string on the bathroom light, "so you shouldn't get electrocuted when you pull the chain." She Lysoled the telephone mouthpiece, "so you shouldn't get germs when you talk to strangers."
Finally, "Would you and Dad like some coffee?" I offered.
"What? Are you trying to kill your Father? You know how coffee upsets his stomach. My con- stitution it couldn't hurt, like a horse I'm built. Look in my bag, I brought my own cup.
"Now let me see your drawers,"
she said, pulling from her satchel a jumbo roll of shelf lining paper and starting for the silverware drawer in the kitchen. "This is what you ear—silverware?" she said, lining.
, "Let me see your freezer."
"You're going to line the bottom of the freezer?" I asked.
"And the sides. You can't be too careful with all the rigatoni going around today." And then she opened the freezer compartment. "This is food? A sliver of chopped meat, this plucked chicken, these three TV dinners . . . "
jr "Ciel, leave the boy alone," my father said.
"Leave the boy alone?" she cried as she double-wrapped everything in freezer paper. "I've left the OQ ALONE AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENS—malnutrition."
And then she spotted a bottle of Scotch on the kitchen counter.
"Morrie; do you see what I see?
By RICK MITZ
The bcfy's a derelict. I knew it. I knew jt. For this we give him an allowance . . . ?"
"Ciel, we don't give the boy an allowance."
"The I think we sould give him an allowance. Maybe then he'll learn now tp spend his money."
Whqn my apartment was finally disinfected, my Mother put her arms ,pn my shoulders. "Thanks to your '¡Mother, you now have a lovely? apartment."
"THank you."
"Scf lovely that I suppose you won']; want to come home anymore, you have sUch a lovely place here. But don't feel guilty.
Don't feel guilty that your Father
and I love you dearly and it hurts us to see you living like a bum."
"But/ Mom, I'm not living much differently that Dad did before you two ffot married."
"Tnat's what I mean-^-like a bum. Go out and find yourself a nice girl like your Father did. But remember—she's not good enough fpr you."
Aid then they left. A few days latef, a "house gift" from my parents arrived in the mail A book.
Poi'tnoy's Complaint. "Here's a book you should have," the card read- "enjoy. But don't let me c&|0h you reading it." •
I put the book on the shelf bet- ween the 12-speed blender and my combination electric can opener alrfd knife sharperter and waited for th|eir next visit.

Lacrosse Wins
Saxonx Defeat St. Lawrence University by a Score of 13-12 at Merrill Field
By MARK AARON
The Saxon lacrosse team bounced back after suffering three consecutive losses by defeating St.
Lawrence University by the score of 13-12, on Saturday at Merrill Field.
The game, which was the Saxon's first home game since their opening game victory over Niagara, was the Saxons' third win of the season against four defeats for them.
Saxon scoring was early and strong as the squad tossed in seven goals within the first quarter. The team passed the ball exceptionally well and ran circles around the St.
Lawrence team for most of the opening period, but it seemed that St. Lawrence never allowed the Saxons to get the score out of reach as they kept coming back when they were down by a couple of goals. At the end of the first quarter, the Saxons had a com- fortable 7-4 lead.
St. Lawrence bounced back in the second quarter, though, by scoring three goals in a row and tying the score at 8-apiece, but Coach Len Obergfell's team surged ahead before halftime getting two more goals and leading at the half 10-8.
The third period was an even match-up for both teams as they each slipped two goals past their opponent'« goalies, and that then nrade the score 12-10 for the Saxons with fifteen minutes of action remaining, and the fourth quarter was certainly full of action and tension for both teams.
Alfred scored first in the final quarter with a goal coming from Truett Sweeting to give the Saxons a three goal lead with plenty of time remaining. St. Lawrence set up their offense and within a few minutes, the "Larries" were within one goal of tying the game ¡it 13 each. However, the Saxon goalie. Mark Pearson, held up against a final attack by St.
Lawrence with some fine saves in the final minutes to save the vic- tory for the Saxons.

Dan Miller scored once and Ralph Rischman picked up two assists.
"After a ioss to Geneseo, by 11-3, we had a team meeting and decided to play ball," said Coach Obergfell after the victory. "It was a team effort all the way, and this is the way Alfred lacrosse should be played."
Bob Young, who suffered a separated shoulder will be out for the remainder of the lacrosse season.
