St Pat's
Kappa Psi Enters Parade Under New Contest Rules
Kappa Psi Upsilon fraternity has decided to reenter the St.
Pat's parade competition, under a new set of rules established last
•week by the St. Pat's Board.
Kappa Psi, along with Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, had an- nounced two wees ago that they would not enter floats in the par-
Administration Will Comment On Discipline
sThe University administration to planning a statement on the Student Senate motion that would require that all disciplinary ac- tion leading to expulsion be re- viewed by the disciplinary com- mittee.
The following statement was is- sued last week by Paul F. Pow- ers, dean of students: "We plan to make a statement on tlhe mo- tion passed by the Student Sen- ate sometime in the very near future." Dean Powers explained that the statement was pending the return of President ¡M. Ellis Drake from a trip out of town.
The motion passed by the Sen- ate was printed in last Tuesday's Fiat Lux. There was also print- ed last week an open letter from Senate P r e s i d e n t Tom Syracuse explaining the action taken by the Senate.
No further discussion took place at last Tuesday's Senate meeting on the role of the disciplinary committee. One senator said that
"We will wait now and see what ' the administration does."
The motion passed by the Sen- ate said, "All disciplinary action which may lead to expulsion should be reviewed iby the disci- plinary committee before expul- sion takes place." Syracuse's let- t e r acknowledged that the Senate
could not enforce such a motion but said it should be regarded as
"an urgent recommendation on the part of the Student Senate."
ade this year. However, last week the parade rules were re- vised so that a fraternity or so- rority wishing to enter the com- petition could prepare a display involving St. Pat, but the display need not be in the manner of a float.
All three sororities and Delta Sigma Phi fraternity have pre- viously announced that will have an entry in the parade. Phi Ep- silon Pr, Tau Delta Phi, and Klan Alpine fraternities had an- nounced several weeks ago that they did not plan to enter the competition.
A decision on the possibility of a Lambda Chi entry was reached at a house meeting last night and the results came too late for publication in today's Fiat Lux.
Brent Bohne, president of Kap- ppa Psi; said last week that his house will participate in order to show "interest and spirt."
He explained that under the new regulations an entry will not mean taking as much time and effort from house activities. He said this consideration was es- pecially important in light of the nearness to "Hell Week."
Kappa Psi and Theta Theta Chi sorority won the float com- petition, in the fraternity and sorority classes respectively, last year.

Dr. Aaron Sayvetz, chairman of the physics department, will leave Alfred at the end of the present school year to assume the posi- tion of dean of natural sciences at New College in Sarosota, Fla.
Dr. John W. Gustad, formerly deal of the College of Liberal Arts a t Alfred, resigned last year to

first group of students this Sep- tember.
Dr. Sayvetz said that in plan- ning the opening of an institute such as new college he hopes'to be able to establish an "imagina- tive curriculum." New College, according to Dr. Gustad, is being designed to "be one of the finest schools in the country."
Besides serving as dean of the natural science division, Dr. Say- vetz will also 'handle teaching responsibilities in the special field of physics. Dr. Sayvetz ex- plained that the natural science division will include instruction in chemistry, biology, and mathe- matics, in addition to physics. He said that the curriculum will probaibly be designed so that in- structors in these various areas can work together to develop a coordinated program.
In order to make this coopera- tion within a division more feasi- ble there will not be a split among the specialities in a par- ticular area. Thus, said Dr. Say- vetz, the biology and physics de- partments will not be distinct but will be grouped together un- der the general heading of natural sciences.
In addition to a division of natural sciences, New College will also have divisions of the hu- manities and social sciences.
Dr. Sayvetz came to Alfred in 1961 from the University of Chi- cago where he had been on the faculty since 1942. He received his B. S. and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Chicago.
Dr. Gustad has been in Sarosota this past year preparing for the' opening in New College this fall.
of these decisions, which Syra- cuse called "noteworthy", came
"within the past two weeks.
Three weeks ago Syracuse had issued a statement indicating his
"disappointment with administra- tion inaction." Since then, he said last week, many of those decisions pending at the time of his earlier statement have been finalized.
Besides the Ade Hall and study day decisions, Syracuse noted that library hours have been ex- tended and plans have been made to increase library seating. Also Syracuse said that a central bul- letin board will be erected on campus in the near f u t u r e and a sign indicating the location and charter date of Alfred University will be positioned on the lawn across from Carnegie Hall.
Syracuse suggested that the senior class provide the $300 needed for the Alfred University sign so that the sign will be re- membered as a gift of the Class of 1964.
"Student influence and cooper- ation are_no doubt partly respon- sible for the recent flux of ad- ministrative decisions," said Sy- racuse. He pointed out that in his previous statement he had said that did not doubt that the pending questions would be re- solved, but that the time taken to reach decisions was the issue to be dealt with.
Syracuse called the decision on Ade Hall "especially rewarding."
He said that President M. Ellis Drake, Treasurer Edward K. Leb- ohner, and Robert Kelley, mana- ger of buildings and grounds, were all involved in the resolution of the problems surrounding the use of Ade Hall for social activi- ties.
president, and Dennis Newbury, co-chairman of the St Pat's Board, both exppressed pleasure at t h e administrative decision to make Ade Hall available for four social events beginning with this year's St. Pat's Ball. The balls which may be held in Ade Hall, at Universi- ty expense, in the future, include:
the Intersorority Ball, the Inter«
fraternity Ball, the Military Ball, and St. Pat's Ball.
Syracuse, acting on behalf of the Senate, has been working with the administration, on the use of Ade Hall since last fall He said last week that, "the University has placed a great deal of responsibility with the students and I would expect stu-
dent behavior to be commensur- ate with administration confi- dence" Syracuse added that he was "not only pleased with the availability of Ade Hall but also with the fact that the University will incur the cost of making Ade Hall available.
The St Pat's Board had been turned down on a previous re- quest to use Ade Hall and two weeks ago announced that the ball would 'be held at the Ag- Tech Student Union However last week, when it became known t h t Ade Hall might be used, the S t Pat's Board met again and agreed to shift the ball back to the University. According to New- bury, the hoard had not made a firm commitment to the Ag-Tech about the use of the Union there.
Newbury said that the Universi- ty has been "most accomodating in its decision and the adminis- tration's cooperation will help to make this year's St. Plat's ball the best yet.
Since each ball held in Ade Hall will result in maintenance costs between $200 and $300 Syracuse said, the students should note the University's as- sumption of this cost of $1000 &
year.

Organizations to Discuss New Senate Constitution
The proposed new Student Senate constitution will be the subject of discussion at meetings of the Intersorority Council, the Interfraternity Council, and the Women's Student Government, in the next few weeks.
Th ISC, according to President Flora Dinucci, "will certainly expect some changes to be made in the constitution." She was not more specific and explained that because of sorority rushing the ISC has not yet had time to con- sider the question of the new con- stitution.
Bill Yanech, Senate vice-presi- dent and chairman of the consti- tutional revision committee, left l a s t Tuesday's Senate meeting, to explain certain aspects of the con- stitution to the IFC. Otto Eleu- eri, president of IFC, said that Vanech was asked a few general question, but that he will be asked to return next week to ans- wer more specific questions about
the constitution.
The constitution, which pro- vides for bloc representation, would include representatives from both ISC and IFC. The con- cern of both of these organiza-»
tions is the extent to which their operations will be involved with Senate business.
Vanech completed distribution of t h e constitution to Senate members last Tuesday and at that time acknowledged that many as- pects of the constitution "would hâve to be clarified." The docu- ment, 13 pages long, provides for the establishment of a Student Association, which will have Jur- isdiction in many different areas of student life.
Women's Student Government will discuss the constitution, ac- cording to President Betsey Kin- sey, although WSG is not incor- porated into the proposed Stu- dent Association. WSG did not

Brandywine Singers, Colgate 13 To Appear St. Pat's Weekend
1
Brandywine Singers
Will Entertain Saturday
A folk music group, The Bran- dywine Singers, will appear at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 21 in the Ag-Tech gym.
The entertainers are being spon- sored by the St. Pat's Board and will foe part of the traditional St.
Pat's festivities.
Their first disc release, "Sum- mer's Come and Gone," has been followed foy such hits as "Two Little Boys," "Saturday's Child,"
and "Mandy."
As -winners of the Intercollegi- ate Music Festival in Williams- port, Pa., The Brandywine Sing- ers are in demand throughout the colleges and universities in the nation. They have performed at night clubs, concerts, festivals, and fair», and have toured with Johnny Mathis, in addition to appearing on radio and television.
They have made personal appear- ances on the cost-to-coast "Hoot- enanny Show" and have made numerous recordings. The five young men are currently touring a string of colleges and universi- ties along the eastern seaboard.
New York critics list The Bran- dywine Singers among their fav- orites. This well-schooled folk mu- sic group has interested concert lovers wherever they have played, and the demand for their music is so great that repeat performances are common proving the group Is accepted among the best in the finest of music circles.
"The five's intonation, vocal blending, and knowledge of instru- mental harmonic sounds add to
their showmanship onstage. It is this harmonic blend that remains their trademark and identifies them as' The Brandywine Sing- ers," said a spokesman for the St.
Pat's Board.
He added that the group's orig- in as professionals began on the campus of the University of New Hampshire. Twin brothers, Ron and Rick Shaw, joined voices and guitars with fellow student Dave Craig. Hard work and a sensitiv- ity to the innerness of a folk song found echo in Fred Corbett and Hal Brown who joined the group within the year.
Campus Comedy
A group of students met to dis- cuss "Christianity, Morality, and Sex" at the Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Tex.
The SMU Campus said the dis- cussion finally touched on love.
"But," groaned one boy, "how do you really know you're in love?
How can you be sure before it's too late?"
"Guesswork," answered one girl smugly, and she smiled.

Government Is Irrational Says Wm. Rickenbacker
• Various aspects of conservatism were discussed by William F.
Rickenbacker, an editor of the
"National Review", at an assem- bly and at a coffee hour last Thursday.
Speaking to the assembly Ric- kenbacker suggested that conser- vative government was rational and minimal. He said that we are witnessing irrational government in America and cited agricultural price supports, minimum wage laws,. and unemployment insur- ance as examples of such irration- al government. He suggested that such government "involvement in private affairs" be eliminated.
Rickenbacker discussed the re- lationship between traditional modes of living and conservative thought. He said that although traditionalism is an instrumental part of conservative thought, this should not foe confused with an in- definite status quo. Rather, he said, traditional paptterns should not be overthrown without rea- son and that traditionalism was
"the best place to begin the run- ning of government."
Thursday afternoon, at inform- al session, Rickenbacker turned his attention to foreign affairs.
At this time he accepted questions from the audience.
He said that United States for- eign policy since the Second World War has been a policy of isolation. He argued that this is

William Rickenbacker the case because of what he re- garded as "collapse of effective international agreements." He said that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Southeast Asia Treaty Organiza- tion have both proved ineffective.
Rickenbacker said that if the American people want an isola- tionist policy they should not
"attempt to create an aura of in- ternationalism." He added that if the American goal is really in- ternationalism that "something must foe done to firm our com- mitments and build confidence in the U. S.
Colgate Group Will Perform On Friday

Overseas Education In Spain
Available for American Students
A new academic-year program in Spain for American college stu- dents will be inaugurated next August (1964) by the Institute of
European Studies, largest U. S.
sponsor of overseas education.
Called the Hispanic Year, the lfcmonth program will be con- ducted at the University of Madrid under the auspices of the institute, the university's department of po- litical and economic sciences, and the Instituto de Cultura Hispáni- ca, official Spanish cultural agency.
Varied Program The program, designed for su- perior juniors and outstanding sophomores, offers a choice among more than 130 courses in his- tory, political science, internation- al relations, economics, Spanish language and literature, art his- hory, philosophy and theology.
Admission to the University of Madrid will be possible for U. S.
students who qualify for the uni- versity's courses in their major fields. This will depend on the student's previous course work and his knowledge of the special Spanish vocabulary required.
To serve other academic needs, especially outside the student's major field, the institute will offer courses in two basic groups, taught in Spanish by Spanish uni- versity professors. One group will form a broad junior-year curricu- lum in all the program's fields of study. The other will focus on problems of the Atlantic com- munity and on Spain in its rela- tions with Africa and the New World.
In addition, students may elect to follow a supplementary pro- gram of Hispanic studies in his- tory, art history, literature and
philosophy, conducted by the uni- versity's faculty of philosophy and letters.
Long Planning
Institute President Robert T.
Bosshart said the new program culminates more than two years of planning aimed at integrating the U. S. undergraduate as deep- ly as possible into a Spanish uni- versity while helping him satis- fy American college requirements.
He pointed out that the larger American-sponsored programs in Spain do not offer registration in regular university courses.
"We also wanted to open op- portunities for academic work in Spain not only to language ma- jors but to students in the social sciences as well," Bosshart aid.
"Reactions to this and to the gen- eral plan of the program have been excellent, both in thi coun- try and in Spain."
Other features of the new pro- gram include intensive Spanish language * training upon arrival in Madrid and during both sem- esters, orientation lectures on all major asjpects of Spain and its culture, and two field trips in the Low Countries, Germany, France, Spain and Morocco. Students will live in private bomes in Madrid and in Spanish student dormitor- ies on the university's campus.
Spanish Required Admission requirements are an average of B, two years of col- lege Spanish or one year of col- lege Spanish and two in high school, approval by the applicant's borne college and recommendation by his dean, departmental chair- man and one professor. Appli- cants must be aged 18 to 24 and unmarried.

Richard Pearce Will Lecture O n 1890 Chicago Lit
Dr. Richard Pearce, assistant professor of English, will deliver a public lecture next Thursday at 8 p.m. in Howell Hall on "Chi- cago in the 1890's" as reflected by the works of artists and writ- ers of the period.
The lecture will be based on the dissertajtiofa. written by Dr.
Pearce for his doctorate degree which he received from Columbia University last June. A discus- sion and coffee ihour will follow the talk.
During the 1890's, Dr. Pearce has observed, Chicago artists and writers won a greater social ac- ceptance by the leading citizens than they had previously enjoyed.
Novelists wrote about the life of
»their city during a period, of transition from the first genera- tion of business titans, who had built the city, to the second gen- eration who had learned to live with the wealth that had been produced.
It was a time of idealism and dissolution, of the World's F a i r and the establishment of the Uni- versity of Chicago, and of the economic depression and the Pull- man strike. It was this social and cultural situation in the city which became a, source of literary creativity, Dr. Pearce noted.
H i s lecture is being sponsored by the Alfred University Chapter University Professors. Dr. Luke of the American Association of M. Smith, president of the chap- ter, said the program Is being presented as part of the chapter's activities to encourage scholar- ship by enabling professors who have recently received the doc- torate degree to present their findings in a lecture to the gen- eral public.
members were inducted. During the meeting, officers were also elected: president, R i c h a r d Sloves; vice president, Melinda Logan; secretary, Sue Sheehan;
.and treasurer, Janet Seamon;
all are juniors.
The requirements for admission are high quality work in psychol- ogy, since each student must be in the upper one-third of all un- dergraduates in psychology. Each must also show high standards of scholarship in other fields, by being in the upper one-half of his class in other areas. A three- fourths vote of the present mem- bers is needed to admit a stu- dent. Each student must have completed 12 hours credit in psy- chology.
The purpose or this fraternity is to advance the sciensce of psy- chology and to encourage, stim- ulate and maintain scholarship of the individual members in all fields, particularly psychology
Psi Chi is the student branch affiliated with the American Psybhological Association. The fra- ternity will work with the Psy- chology Club in organizing speak- ers and perhaps initiating a sym- posium for next year.

About this Constitution
To make the understatement of the year, the second install- ment of the proposed new Senate constitution has caused some excitement on campus, particularly among the IFC, and also among the ISC and WSG.
The chief fear of the above organizations is that under the new structure they wi}l lose their independence, and become subservient to a small oligarchy of student government officers who will have little, if any, interest in the well-being of fra- ternities and sororitiees. This we believe is a rather short sight- ed view, which does not take into consideration the realities of life on this campus.
As the most cohesive organizations at Alfred, fraterniities and sororities can be expected to play a dominant role in stu- dent government, no matter what form that government as- sumes. The danger of the present constitution is that it will be run solely for the interests of those groups which claim it is potentially harmful to their interests. If, for a few short weeks, fraternities and sororities can decide upon a common goal, it would be relatively simple for them to elect class representa- tives who would promote their interests. Independents, who have some representation through dormitories now, might find themselves completely eliminated from a voice in student gov- ernment.
The IFC in particular has shown an amazing rebirth of energy in the past few days. From a period of peculiar inac- tivity during last semester's rushing season, the Council has moved quickly to protect what it fears is an infringement on its right to do relatively nothing to strengthen the image of fraternities of this campus. This image strengthening is par- ticularly important among the administration and faculty, but it cannot be ignored even among students. Some houses need only count their pledges to be aware of this, others should not rest complacently upon p'ast successes.
Fraternities are in difficulty across the country; a new spirit and awareness of potential difficulties is necessary if fraternities here are not to succumb to the same problems. It is for this reason that the IFC and ISC should end their de- sire for isolationism on campus and add their strength, opin- ion, and problems to a new Student Association.
This association should not be under the terms of the new constitution as it now stands, for do fraternity or sorority should have to bow to the "best interests of the Student Asso- ciation." Class representation is still a poor idea also, for as noted before it allows for virtually complete control by well organized groups. The interests of all students must be pro- tected if any new constitution is-to succeed.
Thanks to Klan
Fraternities looking for a way to prove their positive use- fulness to the University community would do well to look at Klan Alpine's forum last Sunday on the goals and meaning of a univeirsty. The idea is a good one and we hope that better publicity in the future will add to the number of people attend- ing. Certainly the series should be continued, for it is in dis- cussions of this type that better understanding of administra- tion, faculty, and student goals is attained.

Question: How do you feel about chang- ing the method of rep- resentation to the stu- dent senate?
Sue Bloom, Engineer, Fr.
"(No system is going to be adequate unless the s t u d e n t
•body and t h e ladmdnis trat i o n s t a r t talking the Senate seriously. Because of this I feel t h a t in the present situa- tion the proposed change in rep- resentation would not be effec- itve."
Dotti Darrone, Liberal Arts, Fr.
"1 agree fully with t h e propos- al since I feel t h a t representa- tives of I S C and ¡ETC, and
class officers, could express the opinions of the students t h e y represent most ef- fectively. P e r h a p s the ratification of this proposal would yield a more powerful senate.
Pat Brennan, Liberal Arts, Jr.
' 1 think t h a t the problem in- volved in t h e revised s e n a t e r.epre&entjalt i o n would be t h a t the f o u r class- es a r e not coihesive 'bodies. Tihe class officers would represent only themselves unless class meetings became b e t t e r attended and discussed problems thlat caime up in the senate. As i t is, resi- dence house meetings o f f e r a chance f o r students to express their views. T h e house represen- tatives carry the general resi- dence views to t h e senate.
Frank Wyant, Liberal Arts, Fr.
" C l a s s offi- cers a r e n ' t al- ways a w a r e of everything t h a t Is g o i n g on They don't come In contact with everyone in their class whereas toe dorm representatives a r e aware of m a n y dififeernt opin- ions and 'therefore give a broad- er representation."
Brian Lutomski, Liberal Arts, Fr.
"I don't think . t h a t there Is
m u c h true rep-
* ¡3 resentation f r o m ' s t u d e n t s as a
c l a s s or as m e m b e r s of residences. T h e r e a r e n o ¡meetings a t wihch opinions c a n be voiced.
All t h e information comes f r o m the senate m i n u t e s or the news- paper. I think t h a t if class meet- ings or dorm discussions were held either class or residence representatives could be effec»
tive."

three's a crowd, espechdly when
-by Steve Skeates—
"Now is steel twixt gut and bladder interposed."—Beyond the Fringe.
The film, "No Exit," was, of course, an elaboration on the theme, "three is a crowd." Although this central theme was obvious, the interpreting of the elaboration was left up to the viewer and depended upon his personal field of interest.
To the psychology major, this film dealt with a stimulus- response experiment given to a specific triad, a triad consist- ing of a coward, a nymphomaniac, and a lesbian. As one psy- chology major told me, "I received as much enjoyment from this film as I derive from frustrating mice." This film surely had that aspect.
To the English major, it was a dramatic presentation of abnormal characters in an abnormal situation which symboli- cally stood for normalcy (somehow). As English major War- ren Savin was heard to reply, "It's amazing how Sartre broke the world situation down into its three basic component parts."
But I wonder. (Did he mean cowardice, perversion and in- fanticide?)
To the philosophy major, it was a dramatization of Sartre's nihilistic and Existentialistic philosophy, a symbolic represen- tation of life and all its meaning. As one of Alfred's many philosophy majors said, " It helped me to re-define myself. It helped me to realize that I had completely slipped my mind."
After the first showing, there was a discussion on the film led by Dr. Richard Pearce and Professor Myron K. Sibley.
They pointed out Sartre's beliefs: Life and Hell are one and the same; man makes his own Hell. Dr. Pearce gave several reasons why the film was a poor adaptation of the original play; e.g.: One of the play's basic themes was the interdepen- dency of the characters. Yet, in the film, the coward's depen- dency upon the lesbian was not brought out until quite late.
But in keeping this column somewhat co-ordinated with the misnomer that appears at its head, I must try to make this a "movie review," that is, I must review the film for itself and not for its relationship with the play. It all was interesting in the beginning, yet rather vague. But toward the end meaning started to enter, until in the final scene it was all there, right before us. "Here we go again," the coward said, and they all sat back, relaxed, accepted and laughed, as if to say, "Hell is nature's way of telling us to slow down." Whether this is
Sartre or not, this seemed to be the meaning of the film.

Liberal Arts Colleges Dying?
"The liberal arts tradition is dead or dying", warned Jacques Barzun, dean of faculties and provost of Columbia University, in a recent issue of The Downtowner of St. John's University, Brooklyn, N. Y. Dean Barzun stated that "sooner or later the college as we know it will find that it has an prop- er place in the scheme of things."
According to Barzun, liberal arts colleges are on the down- grade because good high schools now offer advanced courses that make the freshman and sophomore years at college boring and repetitious, and the last two years at college are devoted to specilized work in a major. Barzun feels that this accelera- tion has only one goal — to qualify for a professional job.
This new emphasis on speecialization in preparation for a particular job is seen by Barzun as invading the best colleges today. Undergraduates are taught by their professors as if they were future scholars in their own field. If they are able, students qualify for honor work, which Barzun defines as "premature research."
As the liberal arts colleges squeeze out the old liberal
education, Barzun fears that the campus has become a place
of "anxious preoccupation" instead of "elegant leisure." Bar-
zun explained that the graduates of an accelerated and special-
ized college are not "happier or younger than they would be
if they still enjoyed four years of apparently useless study."
Comments
by Howard Paster
"God is not a conservative." This definitive statement was made by William F. Rickenbacker, at last Thursday's assembly program. Perhaps God is not a conservative but Rickenbacker is, as is Russell Kirk, who spoke at Alfred two weeks ago.
The Cultural Programs Council deserves to be commended for providing an insight into today's conservative movement.
Both Rickenbacker , an editor of the very 'right' "National Re- view," and Kirk, a nationally syndicated columnist, are recog- nized as members of a growing group if intellectual conserva- tives. In light of the continually increasing prominence of con- servatives in America, people like Rickenbacker and Kirk should be listened to and regarded seriously.
These two gentlemen were brought to campus under the provisions of a donation which stippulated that the money be used to bring conservative spokesmen to Alfred. This does not lessen the value of bringing these men to Alfred, but plans should be made to provide a parallel appearance of some out- standing liberal spokesmen. The appearance of such liberals should not be dependent upon the receipt of a donation specif- ically designed to bring liberal speakers to Alfred, but could well be a part of next year's series of Cultural Program Council sponsored events.

Fashioning myself a bit of a liberal, I am inclined to take issue with a number of points raised by both Kirk and Rick- enbacker. However since Rickenbacker's comments were of a more specific nature I will restrict my comments to the con- servative position he expounded on last Thursday.
The conservative position of Mr. Rickenbacker held that change should not be regarded as an essential part of our soci- ety. However, he did acknowledge the inevitability of change.
Another, more important idea that Rickenbacker expressed was that the proper form of government should be conserva- tive, rational, and minimal. This minimal government should not, he said, interfere in the affairs of men any more than is barely necessary to maintain order, provide for the common defense, and administer justice.
Clearly what Rickenbacker has done is to define the very essence of government and there is little value in questioning his textbook definition. What I find difficult to accept is his idea of what constitutes order, defense, and justice.
Order, as it should be conceived in the complex world of today, includes economic as well as social order. Thus it is that Rickenbacker's suggestion that agricultural price supports, rninimnm wages, and unemployment insurance, be done away with is absurd. These programs are essential to the economic order of America and their elimination and "return to minimal government" would clearly be detrimental to the best inter- ests of the country.
Rickenbacker suggested that the United States has not been providing for the common defense in its failure to use force in areas such as Cyprus and Panama. It appears that Rickenbacker's conceppt of common defense does not take into account the social and moral consequences of American action, in light of the position of the United States in the world today.
The United States can not take overt action merely on power considerations, and an indefinite concept of common defense, but must allow for the influence of American action on the at- titudes of all the world's peoples.
Rickenbacker brought some interesting ideas to Alfred but I can not believe that he proposes to face the growing complex- ities of our society with a manner of government suited to 19th century conditions.

Quote of the. Week
"We do things different around here."
This Week
. . . is Gail Ash date week.
Student Isolated
"The student is isolated by the world of glass; all he has to do is perform. Then the world inside in which he builds is secure.
When he gets outside, i t ' s a damn cruel world, and the security is gone," said Barron. He claimed the most important thing is to get out of school and do things rather than talk about it apprehensively.
Barron, who is now an estab- lished ceramic architect, started out as a painter, and then went with this type of commercialism, into advertising. Not satisfied Barron decided to go back to school; he wanted to teach art.
Art work brought by visiting artists was shown in Campus Center's Exhibit Room.
"I've always like to build things, and clay seemed to be the answer so I changed my plans and opened up a shop and made pottery for a living," explained Barron. He told of his then grow- ing interest in three dimentional materials such as cement and met- al, and how his experiments with these led to his present involve- ment with architecture which of- fers new challenges and ideas.
Alfred Buildings When asked to comment on Al- fred's newer buildings, Barron said, "sensitivity doesn't cost a penny more. The buildings are nothing but red brick and blue glass and are not warm, sensi- tive, or pleasing to the eye. A human must make human archi- tectural structures, this obviously is not considered at Alfred."

with it, and my pots grow out of this," stated Schulman. He started off as a musician, tried interior decorating for a time, and went to watercolor, but felt a lack of ability of expressiveness in these media. "Pottery just happened. I found a whole new world of life open to us," he related. He went on to say that pottery is a silent means of communication—others get a feeling from one's sensitivi- ty, and they can feel and touch it.
An Alfred University graduate, Schulman is teaching at the Civic Center of the Toledo Museum and is presently involved in Adult Education, as a means of helping not only the college student get the most satisfaction out of ful- filling his life. He feels that mod- ern society is tending toward less and less personal expression, therefore, people need involve- ment in something like painting;
pottery or sculpture to help them appreciate not only the aesthetic world, but themselves.
Working as a potter for ten years in the Boston area, Wyman
started Herring Run Pottery-
"We've been together for one a n d and a half years and have shared work, ideas and tools, and noyr we have made a success out of i t in spite of the modern culture,"
stated Wyman. Having taught a t the Massachusetts School of Art, Wyman feels that people tend t o look down on serious artist-pot- ters. He said that the critics a n d galleries do not recognize pottery on the same level with painting and sculpture, and has strong hopes that soon their equal value:
will be naturally recognized.
"I am concerned with the ex- pression and communication, a n d the feeling and spiritual quality oi ceramic material," related Wy- man. He attended Alfred Summer- School a few years ago and found a thriving interest in clay and ex- pression i n the medium. "One day I realized that I wasn't cut out to be a teacher, and so I opened up a shop, and worked and learn- ed, and that is how I made a liv- ing at something I liked m o r e than anything else," concluded Wyman.
Letters to the Editor
What Is A Student?
Dear Editor:
As a prospective graduate of Alfred University I would like to ask the underclassmen what is the real meaning of thè word student. For them this word may describe many things. A student is a person who must accept the responsibility of leadership and prepare himself for life; he is, in a sense, an academic sponge who must absorb the teachings and ideas of the professors. But, does this limit the capacity of the stu- dent to THINK?
If a student hasn't used his ability to think, to reason, to doubt, to imagine, to create; he is no longer a student in the real sense of the word. It would be almost just for us to be treated as the massive beast — MOB. We must within our lives strengthen our senses and excte our minds t o purge the unbounded radical conformity from our ranks. WE m u s t rescue the enthusiasm of challenge from our fostered and rigid society. If a student fears what others will think of his ideas, let him be declared ana- thema from our progressive chal- lenge to ignorance and truth. He who is ostracized encompasses no intrinsic values, no creativity, no invention, no art. no "LIFE". If I could cure this languid state of mind I would have, within me,
the power to create free expres- sion from this ignoble group. W s still have a few intelligent lead-
ers, "Doctors of Society," who- can prevent this epidemic state.
Our faculty must rise to t h e challenge and encourage t h e de- velopment of the student as a.
vibrant active being. But, perhaps it is too late. Stagnation, the parasite of LIFE, may already lie dormant within you.
Robert L". Demert
Communists Here?
Dear Editor,
The so-called problem of the- availability of Ade Hall for social events stem from the communistic attitude of the administration toward the students, or shall E say Proletariat. The (building al- ways seems to be quite free f o r faculty functions or those charm- ing little dinners put on to im- press the parents of the students.
But, we the students are already under the powers of Comrade Al- fred and no longer do we require- any propaganda under the guise of kindness. After all, our bill»
are already paid.
An analogy exists between Ade- Hall and the old fashioned parlors- of grandmother's day. Don't l e t the youngsters in the parlor — they might get mud on the rug.
(Name Withheld) (I. to r.) William Wyman, Harris Barron, and Norman Schulman- visited Alfred last week to discuss experiences as artists.
Students, Outside World of Art Discussed by American Potters
Alfred's design students were exposed to the "hard realities of the world of art by peo- ple in the field," said Theodore Randall, chair man of the design department in the intro- duction of three American potters recently.
Harris Barron, Norm Schulman, and William Wyman, the three American potters, were brought here to exhibit their work, lec- ture and communicate on a per- sonal level with students major- ing in ceramics. Each spoke on his career in reference to the study of ceramics and its relation to the outside world.
Gail Ash Wins Alfred Contest For Glamour's Best Dressed Girl
Two University Students Attend Security Council
Gail Ash, a junior ceramic de- sign student from ,New Rochelle has been selected as the best dressed girl on the Alfred cam- pus. Miss Ash will now represent Alfred University in Glamour Magazine's contest in search for the Ten Best Dressed College Girls in America.
The selection of Miss Ash was the result of a fashion show held Saturday in the Parents' Lounge.
At that time, the 13 nominees representing the women's resi- dences each modeled a typical cam- pus outfit, an off campus after- noon outfit, and formal wear. The girls were judged on several cri- teria stipulated by Glamour maga- zine by a panel of student judges consisting of Lin Bessett, Flora pDinucci, Harriet Fain, Robert Johnson and Betsy Kinsey.
The most important thing the judges looked for was a suitable campus look;, beautiful posture, clear understanding of the girl's fashion type, good grooming, well- kept hair, and individuality and Imagination. Although Miss Ash ws outstanding in all of these qualities, her selection rested mainly on her poise, a judge said.
For her campus outfit. Miss Ash wore matching orange slacks and sweater with a pink blouse. Over this she wore a wheat colored leather jacket and carried a tap- estry bag. Her formal attire con- sisted of a black empire silk Jersey dress with velvet bodice.
It had a low V-back accented by bridal buttons. To complement the formal, she wore long white leather gloves and black silk shoes.
When asked how she felt about winning the contest, Miss Ash, who represented Theta Theta Chi, re- plied, "I'm very flattered to have been chosen. I feel that a girl should he concerned with her at- tire because it is a reflection of her attitude and personality." Al- though there is a more casual at- mosphere of dress here at Alfred t h a n in Miss Ash's hometown, she feels that she has retained some of the modes of attire which she has become accustomed to.
The runners up in this contest were Carol Butzgy representing Sigma Chi Nu and Lynne Morris representing Kruson.

Two Alfred University students attended a model Security Coun- cil at St. Lawrence University last weekend. The students, Tom Gizara and Carol Neustadt, ob- served discussion by the council on the fighting on Cyprus and ad- mission of Red China to the U.N.
The Council was carefully mod- eled after the actual Security Council and followed Security Council procedures closely. The nations represented were the same as those presently on the Council—Bolivia, Brazil, China, Czechoslovakia, France, the Ivory Coast, Morocco, Norway, the U.
S.S.R., the United Kingdom and the United States. Participating schools included Oswego, Dart- mouth, West Point, and the Royal Military College of Canada. There were altogether five Canadian schools attending.
The Council also took up the issues of apartheid, the depen- dent territories oi Portugal, the independence of Southwest Africa and the elimination of colonial- ism. Tlie delegates introduced resolutions on these subjects, de- bated them and voted on them.
The student delegations were expected to adhere to the policies of the nations they represented.
The 'delegated held closely to those policies, for the most part. In- stead of pounding his shoe on the table, the Russian delegate tap-
ped on the microphone. The dele- gate from Morocco pounded on the table with a shoe. The U.S., represented by West Point, was accused by the Russian delegate of being militaristic. This accusa- tion followed a request by the U.S. delegate that the delegate from the U.S.S.R. refer to the weapons he was using to illus- trate an v argument as rifles in- stead of guns.
Debate often became heated and parliamentary wrangles were fre- quent. T h e Eastern bloc, repre- sented by the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia, challenged the Western "capitalist, imperialistic"
nations to a touch football game.
Following Security Council pro- cedure, the delegates were not per- mitted to impugn the motives of other delegates but could and did question the motives of the member nations.
The officers^ of the Council — president and secretary general—
were provided by St. Lawrehce.
They also provided faculty policy advisors and a secretariat which kept running minutes. Both Gi- zara and Miss Neustadt thought the Council had run very smooth- ly. Gizara thought the delegates were well versed in the policies of the countries they represented and that the Council's student president had known his parlia- mentary procedure well. Both ex-

A
Men Function O n Myth Basis'
"All jnen tend to function on the basis of a myth, which 'deals with their origins and destinies,"
eaid the Rev. Charles Kinzie at last week's Forum on Religion.
Reverend Kinzie spoke on "The Assumptions of Orthodox Theol- ogy", basing (his definition of or- thodoxy on the Christian concept in order to 'describe the essence of Christian faith.
Myth was defined as an extern- al reality apart from the holder of the myth, at the same time it is the residence of the internal changes of man. Its function is the externalization of that which
•we do not understand in our- Belves and also that which is
•within ourselves.
Reverend Kinzie referred to the myth of "happy innocent child- hood" when he explained that myths embody and personify man's quest for happiness and all humanity is subject to these myths.
He listed the bases of Christian thought: the nature of sin, defin- ed as ultimate estrangement from God, not the accepted concept of immorality; the nature of salva- tion; and the jnode of movement from sin to justified sin.
From the crucifixion always emerges a meaning, he said, ev- en though the general sensation Is one of ibrokenness and despair.
"Out of the yearning for whole- ness, one reaches out and fiqids meaning in the crucifixion."

The iron curtain isnl soundproof.
If you owned a radio set behind the Iron Curtain, what sort of programs would you hear?
From Communist sources, endless propaganda. Newscasts that twist—or suppress—the truth about home con- ditions and the world outside. Com- mentaries and criticism that are really just "commercials" for a single product
—Communism.
Fortunately, however, the Iron Cur- tain isn't soundproof.
Try as they will, the Communists can't keep out the voice of Radio Free Europe. Nor can they prevent us hear- ing what they themselves tell—and don't tell—to their captive peoples.
Radio Free Europe speaks daily, in their own languages, to millions of lis- teners in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bul- garia, Hungary and Romania. B u t - first—it monitors all the radio stations in these five satellite countries, and reads all their magazines and news-
papers. It analyzes what they give out as news, and notes the lies, distortions and omissions.
These are then exposed—with tre- mendous impact—in RFE's own news- casts.
Radio Free Europe lets its audience know what is really happening in their enslaved countries, and right in their own home towns. It answers Commu- nist accusations. Spotlights rifts and failures. Reminds these captive peoples that they still have friends. And sug- gests some ways they themselves can help to regain their lost personal freedom.
In effect, RFE has become both their local newspapers and a national, oppo- sition press that nobody can stop them reading—with their ears.
Radio Free Europe is a private Amer- icanenterprise, supported by voluntary subscriptions. Help to get the truth' through the Iron Curtain—by mailing your contribution to:
