AWS members aim for improved communications

By KATHY KAPPELT At last Sunday's AWS meeting several suggestions wete discussed in an attempt to establish better communications between the house mothers, counselors, AWS rpresenta- lives and students.

In thp future, the house mothers and counselors will receive copies of the minutes of all AWS meetings so they will be informed of any rule change.

The procedure for obtaining permission to stay at a residence other than your own was announced. The girl is to inform her housemother that she is leaving. She is then to obtain the permission of the house mother of the residence where she wishes to stay.

If the house mother refuses the request she must give the student a reason or the student can appeal to the dean.

It was pointed out that any rule that is changed at an AWS meeting goes into im-

mediate effect It is not necessary for the rule to be published in a handbook before it can be enforced .

Late movie permission was withdrawn when the curfews were extended. It was felt that movies would always be over in time for the girls to reach tht dorm. Hcwever, due to an incident when the movie ran past 12 o'clock, the decision will be appealed to the dean.

In an effort to have all Brick and Kruson residents' aware of any new regulations, it was suggested that a joint house meeting be held every month. Such a meeting might take place in the cafeteria after dinner.

It was felt that this would provide a chance for suggestions and discussion of any otp- ics that girls would like brought up at AWS meetings as well as a good opportunity to explain any regulations that have been changed.

In order to obtain the new curfews, the privilege of dating-in was forfieted from 11- 12 on Wednesday and 1-2 on Satuiday. However, during the hours that dating-in is permit- ted, many people feel ashamed to walk through the lounge.

In an attempt to remedy this situation several methods of control were suggested. A code of conduct could be established and e n f o r c e d through use of a penalty for objectionable behavior.

Another possible solution would be to lock the door at

11 on Wednesday and 1 on Saturday, thus using the same procedure that has previously been used for a floating 2 o'clock.

An alternative to this could be having the AWS representatives "patrol" the lounge.

The next AWS meeting will be held tomorrow.

By IRWIN BERLIN Left hands that can commu- nicate wtih each other, contraceptives in food, and organs that can regenerate themselves were some of the subjects presented in a lecture last Thurs- day by Dr. John R. Piatt in Howell Hall.

Piatt is director of the Men- tal Health Research Program Institute at the University of Michigan and his lectiure was

"How Images Shape the Tech- nological Future."

Dr. Piatt, a bioplhysicist, has been a staunch defender of di- versity and innovation in scientific education. He says that in the last fifty years man has developed more than in the previous 100,000 years.,

In certain areas we have made enormous jumps, but limits are in sight. An exam- ple is communication. One hundred years ago in order to contact Australia by letter, one had to go around Cape Horn.

Today television satellites can beam messages at the speed of light; however, the speed of light appears to be the limit.

In evolution, we are at the end of natural selection, although the theory was only hy- pothesized 100 years ago by

Charles Darwin. Now there will be evolution by human selection in using pollution, killing, protection and breed- ing.

There will have to be Some kind of population control. The population is dfouiblina every 30-40'years and in 209 years, a fraction in the history of time, there will be 50 billion people, more than the earth could possibly hold.

The rate of birth must level off, either by nuclear holo- caust, starvation, or birth control.

The Pfll

Six million women in the U.S. now use the Pill, but Piatt suggests an easier method.

This would entail the possibility of putting contraceptives in- to food.

"Of course, there would have to be another store down the street." There would be no unwanted children. The food could be salt, sugar, or even beer. The effect on hope and economic investment would be

Weapons increased by a fac- tor of a million in the ten year period after WWII. The next ten years showed no such in- crease indicating perhaps a plateau has been reached.

This may be some consola- tion in view of the terror and fear annually produced from such situations as Vietnam Dr.

Piatt calls the next ten to twenty years the "hinge of history," determining the whole history of life.

In biology, vegetative pro- pagation has led to the discov- ery that every cell in the body could grow a whole body around it. The replaced nu- cleated' egg of tadpoles have grown into fully fertile frogs with complete genetic copy- ing.

Dr. Piatt calls the now used sexual crossing "delightful", but maintains that this is not needed.

The potential payoff of doing this with animals is great.

"Think of the value for under- developed countries," Dr. Piatt says.

Regeneration

It may be feasible to regenerate organs, such as lower forms of life can do. With tis- sue inducere, embryologists

see no reafeori why a finger, arm, or . eye cotuld not be re- grown. It will be rewarding to manipulate genetics in this way.

While the brain has millions of channels of communication, man only has one, that of speech. Why not Use the left hand as a second channel and vibrate messages to another person who would pick them up in his left hand?

It is a peculiarity of the brain that the smartest brain is made of ignorant cells; only the combination can do anything.

In the period ahead, there will be a new level of struc- turing of the hnman race. Man has three methods of problem solving; survival through^ the species, individual learning through experience, and anticipation.

It is luidky that man can use anticipation, the method of sci- ence, to solve the multitude of new problems that daily arise.

Some are too dangerous to live through.

x Polarity of Hate': forum topic

By LARREL SMOUSE Ross Flanagan's religious forum lecture last Tuesday,

"The Polarity of Hate," seemed to center on the need for a sophistication of ideas.

Flanagan, director of the Quaker Project on Community Conflict, said that without obtaining sophistication, and doing so peacefully, we can not preserve a sense of humanity and community.

In discussing the polarity of hate between white and black, Flanagan suggested that the whites sophisticate their concept of violence. He pointed out that there is both overt and covert/violence and that vi- lence can be done economical- ly, socially, etc.

He then stated that the blacks s h o u l d sophisticate their concept of power. He compared the situation to la- bor unions who must desci- pline tactics to focus their grievances although this re-

quires sacrifices.

According to Flanagan, Mar- tin Luther King's idea of using the white conscience will work to gain civil rights but not to gain equal jobs and other op- portunities.

Instead, both black and white should go to Washing- ton. They should put pressure on Congressmen to respond to non-violence and use peace of- ficers to arbitrate and manage problems.

In a discussion period after his lecture, Flanagan also stated the one main racial problem is that the whites tend to intellectualize the problem too much.

They are not exposed to act- ual situations and should be somehow pulled from their spectator role.

There is also a right-left po- larization of hate. The right feels threatened by Commu- nism and has sanctioned the use of violence.

Playing God

Flanagan feels they are

"playing God for mankind" by using military force to police the world. He considers this part of the "pseudo-patriotism of our times," but believes the

Eight students honored with 4.0 indices

Eight students achieved the honor of a 4.0 index last sem- ester. In the College of Liberal Arts, the only senior repre-t sentative was Janet Harkenrid- er. Other liberal artists include three juniors — Patricia Caffarelli, Christopher Ries- beck, and Richard Sills; and one sophomore — Andrew So- lan.

Sophomore Cyrithie Bryant is the only student in the school of nursing to achieve

the honor.

These students are included with the names of others who have achieved an index of 3.3 or higher on the Dean's Lists of the three schools.

Seniors of the College of Ceramics with Dean's List indices were: Clifford Ballard (3.30); Giry Barhum (3.30);

Joseph Bauer (3.71); David Cooper (3.83); David Feather (3.90); Robert Frankson (3.31);

Deferment facts stated in Draft Board release

The Selective Service Board has recently released the lat- est facts albout undergraduate student deferments. Accord- ing to these facts:

A student is deferred when his Selective Service local board determines the national interest would best be served by temporarily continuing him in a civilian status.

There are two types of student deferments: Classes I-S and H-S.

I-S is a statutory deferment intended to permit a student who qualities to complete high school or an academic year in college.

£S(H) is the classification given to a high school student who is Satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course until he graduates, reaches age 20, or drops out of school.

Class II-S is the classifica- tion given to students attend- ing college, university, or sim- ilar institution of learning.

To qualify for II-S, a student must be satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course of instruc- tion.

He must request Such deferment either on a Selective Ser- vice Form 104 or by letter. In either instance, the request must be in writing and filed with his local board.

To be considered as full- time, a student should have,

earned 25% of his credits to- ward a degree during his first academic year, 50% at the end of his second year, 75% at the end of his third year if en- rolled in a 4-year course and 20% each year in a 5-year course.

Eligibility for deferment in II-S expires upon attaining a baccalaureate degree, reach- ing the age of 24, or ceasing to be a full-time and satisfactory student.

Any registrant who requests and receives a II-S classification will not subsequently be eligible for classification in Class ni-A (fatherhood) unless he can prove to the satisfac- tion of his local board that his induction would create a hardship to his dependents.

Student deferments are temporary and reviewed at least once a year.

Individual Case

A student is classified on the basis of the facts in bis individual case. His classification may be changed any time his circumstances change.

College deferments are also based on reports from the college. It is the responsibility of the individual student to see that his college supplies these reports to Ms local board by

the submission of Selective Service System Form 109 or 109A for undergraduate students and Selective Service Form 103 or 103A for registrants in graduate school.

Each time a student is classified or reclassified he has the right of appearing personally before his local board and of appealing his classification.

If attending college away from home, he may request that his case be reviewed by the Appeal Board having juris- diction over the area in which his college is located'.

A college student not in the ROTC program is classified in in Class II-S. A college student in the ROTC program is classified in Class I-D. To tain a I-D classification, the student must satisfactorily participate in the ROTC program.

A full-time college student who is doing satisfactory work and is ordered for induction during his school year, may request to be classified in Class

Mock Convention coverage planned

As there will be little space in the Alfred State College Gytm for spectators wishing to watch the proceedings of the Mock Convention, there will be two closed circuit television monitors set up in Room 119 of the General E d u c a t i o n Building on the Alfred State College campus.

In the same building there wall be six candidate offices and an Executive Committee office with monitors also.

The programming win ori- ginate on the convention floor and will be as realistic as possible with the available facilities. Efforts are being made to acquire a projeoction unit

much like a movie projector for the spectator's room.

This two-day television station has been coordinated by Leslie Gardiner, convention public relations director. Most of the equipment to be used and the personnel to operate it will come from various de- partments of Alfred State Col- lege. The studio portion will be directed by the staff of WVAT, Alfred State College.

The chief moderator will be Dave Galey, an Alfred Univer- sity student. He will be sta- tioned at Convention Control on the floor. Planned program- mini? includes speeches, demonstrations. interviews, voting poll«?, and analyses. ,

Editorial...

There was a demonstration last Thursday on this campus.

Dow Chemical was recruiting. The local SDS chapter protested.

Demonstrations have become a common phenomenon on college campuses in recent years. There is a certain predictability about them; when Dow comes, the campus expects some group to picket.

True to everyone's expectations, the SDS did protest the re- cruitment of Alfred students by the representatives of Dow. The demonstration was peaceful, orderly, and well-within the Univer- sity guidelines. In short, the demonstration went comparatively unnoticed.

We do not wish to suggest thalt the demonstrators, either as a group or as individuals, should have violated or over stepped the guidelines; we believe that it would be possible to conduct a large-scale, meaningful dmonstration within the rules of the University.

However, we do question the effectiveness of last week's protest.

It can always be argued that it was a token protest; and as such it served its purpose. However, the demonstrators would presumably prefer to hold more than a token protest; if they are sincere, and we do not for a moment question their sincerity, they must be concerned to actually stop the production of napalm and ultimately to end war and human suffering.

Again, we do not doubt the moral integrity of the individuals who belong to SDS and of those who participated in Thursday's incident. We believe that the December reaction to the Army O.C.S. recruiter was a genuine reflection^ of the feelings of the protesters against the war and the draft.

We believe, then, that the difference between the two demonstrations was not because of the change in the University policy towards demonstrations, nor do we feel that the student body as a whole and the SDS members in particular are any less concerned than they were three months ago about the war.

We suggest, instead, that many people cannot in all honesty, hold Dow Chemical guilty of any crime. For the sake of those who like statistics, last year the production of napalm by Dow amounted to less than one half of one percent of the total company sales.

We do not offer the fact in definseof Dow; we recognize that they are nevertheless the only producer of napalm at the present time.

However, we wonder if many potential protesters cannot bring themselves to protest against Dow, although they feel strongly against the war, the draft, and man's general inhuman- ity to man.

We believe that those who demonstrated last week are ear- nestly convinced that Dow has a moral responsibility to cease to produce napalm. We applaud them for their willingness to take a stand.

We also applaud those whose convictions did not lead them to demonstrate against Dow; we believe that dissent can be meaningful only when every dissenter firmly believes in the cause and not when he feels in any way compelled to participate

or to go along with the crowd. ,/

We believe that the SDS is all the more worthwhile because it reserves for ejach member freedom of choice on each issue.

out John Humphrey Noyess' Oneida colony in western New York. 'This settlement lived by the concept of free love.

The Oneida colony "rose above sex . . . that is, had complete generosity tout eliminat- ed marriage." The basic point of the Noble Study was to ex- pose, to the public, the fact that the hippie movement is history merely repeating itself.

Four hundred years ago, man tried to restrict the medi- eval system and restore a God- given way^ of life. There have always been puritanical the- oretical groups that have tried to live by perfect love and at- tain salvation on earth, while rejecting the establishment and revolting within the middle class.

These rebellious forms are all manifestations of the phil- osophy of puritanism. For many years younger generations have rejected the articifical tradition of the middle-clasS and the hypocritical views of their parentage.

This rebellious movement of perfect love and breaking with the society is not as revolutionary and new an idea as the hippies feel it is.

General acceptance Unfortunately the hippie movement is now dying a death called enclosure and acceptance a!s part of the establishment.

A recent speaker at Alfred University, Professor P e t e r Vierick, made mention of the fact that once a large and rebellious movement, such as the flower children, is expos-

ed on a national basis, , it au- tomatically becomes part of the system.

We can see this "devouring"

of the hippie movement, in the commercial vein, in our society by just observing the news media and the material- ism that engulfs any nation- wide movement.

Magazines, posters, buttons, caps, wire-rimimed g l a s s e s , clothing trinkets, musical in- struments, records, books, and entertainment, all have a role in this vampire motif that is slowly draining the hippie movement dry.

Ads like "Hippie Emblems (Join the "In" Crowd)," fill magazines such as 'Cheetah".

This sort of exploitation is slowly making the true movement a commercial gold-mine.

Besides this consumption by the commercial and material

Miles' work sees its fourth printing

A booklet written by Dr.

Leland Miles entitled "Where Do You Stand on Linguistics?"

is now being prepared for its fourth printing.

The publication was first is- sued in 1964 by the College English Association. Since that time it has sold more cop- es than any other booklet ever publshed by the Association.

The main concern of this booklet is the scientific study of language. A "test" of 170 items on linguistic principles is the central feature. There is also a bibliography of pub- lications on linguistics and a brief appendix of linguistic terms.

leeches of society the hippie generation has doomed itself by its statement of world transformation,

"Such purification m o v e - ments try to create a timeless product, but since there i!s. only a 'profane situation' and no 'ultimate' condition, purification is philosophically and logically impossible."

Any fringe group is bound to fail, because transcendental philosophies cannot be ex- pressed in particular identi- fiable forms. Most people re- gard the movement as a body on the extreme tooundlaries of our society; however, this form of idealism could be "an index of a more fundamental shift within society."

Dr. Morris Upton, of North Carolina Memorial Hospital, revealed the anxiety and doom that will meet the hippie when he uses drugs such as LSD.

Lipton characterizes the hippie movement, after spending a summer in Haight-Ashtoury District, "as a Sweet, laudable thing that carries the seeds of its own destruction."

With the use of drugs comes the expectation of a mystical inner experience of transformation and reform; however, there iSn't any change or ma- gic just distortion and disap- pointment.

The society does not change by the use of drugs. The hippies are faced "with an acute conflict between internal and external controls . . . the de- mands of the conscience and those of Society."

In a discussion with a hippie the desoeration and anxiety of bucking the establishment and hard-bound society,

is heard in this hippie's every word.

"People leam from me, they learn because I have the power to make them See things as they really are."

It seems that the hippie is now forced into the position of commanding attention and recognition, be it due to the consumption by commercialism, acceptance by society as a lu- natic fringe, or just over-ex- posure.

It is ironic, that the hippies now must use the tactics of the "establishment" to reform the "lost society."

What seems to be totally un- known to the majority of the hippies is the fact that they have become, in reality, a con- formed, self-centered system themselves.

These non-conformists of in- tellectual and social thought have become a restricted and established system that is within, yet against, society.

There are many people at Alfred University who ohertiSh the fact thalt they are in a small group that dresses and acts apart from the mass or norm

"Hippieism" does not and should not rely on the threads on one's b a c k , but the thoughts in his headl.

For this matter a man' like Percy Byssihe Shelley (1792- 1822), with his praise of idfeai love, couldi be classified as one of the truest hippies who ever lived.

A definition of the "hippie"

should begin and end with the individual and not the group.

If the person must rely on the group for classification or- identification, then he deludes himself.

He not only negates his "reform bound ideals," but he los- es his individuality and concept of "the person" in the establishment with which he has identified.

Buffalo Quintet presents diversified program here

By DAVID A. SMITH At their Wednesday evening concert in Alumni Hall, the Buffalo Woodwind Quintet presented a program designed : to please Baroque, Classical;

and Contemporary tastes.

The quintet composed of a clarinet, a bassoon, a French horn, an oboe, and a flute, is formed from members of the

Buffalo Symphony Orchestra but travels on short concert tours as a separate ensemble.

For their concert here, the group chose Mozart's Rondol from Serenade No. 11 as an opening. Although this was an appropriate selection to demonstrate their precise articu- lation, the following Bach sel- ections indicated the group's versatility in performing numbers originally written for one keyboard instrument. .

Both Bach's Adagio from Well Tempered Clavier Vol. 2 and Allegro from Toccata in D minor were transposed into the instrumentation of the

quintet and successfully per- formed as representatives of Baroque music.

A similar adaption was necessary in their Beethoven Quintet Op. 71 which was for- merly written for two horns, two clarinets, and a bassoon.

The French homist, Lowell

Shaw, pointed out that these arrangements provide an extended repertoire for thejgjroup and distinguish their flexibil- ity.

A sudden shift in the artis- try occurred in the second half of the program which ca- tered solely to contemporary

music. Although its form is classic as indicated by one of the performers, Heiden's Sin- fonía is decidely modern in its

untamed and sometimes dis- cordant sound.

Although carrying a similar effect in Romanza by Irving Fine, the ensemble enchanted the audience with the divers^

fied and remarkably romantic Eight Russian Folk Songs by Liadov.

For their three encore calls, the musicians selected works by Jacques Hebert, Richard Lanshe, assistant professor of

music ait Alfred, and LoweH Shaw, the performing hornist.

Although all numbers were appreciated, the Lanshe com- position was probably most memorable for the listeners as it was a worthy creation stemming from Alfred itself.

To all present this concert proved to be more than an eé»

cape from regular routine and I am sure that even thé most caustic music "critic" found many moments of Miss.

Administration concerned for All's past

By LARRY S. "FRIEDMAN

Patrick Henry once said "I know of no way of judging the future but 'by the past." Although his statement applied to pre- Revolutionary days in America, it is equally applicable to a spe- cific part of Alfred's past; namely, the Steinheim Museum and) Alumni Hall.

These two edifices which remind us of the Alfred of yesterday also serve to remind us of the future, for only with a re- membered and cherished past can the future be appreciated.

And with this thought of the future, it is extremely necessary that the Steinheim and Alumni Hall be properly preserved.

The Steinheim tils the Second oldest natural museum on any college campus in the country. It houses exhibits reflecting all phases of American history, zoological and geological displays

Many other exhibits in the Steinheim such aS coin Collec- tions or assorted china and pewter ware, some of which was Used by George Washing- ton, are valuable historical pieces.

And yet, the Steinheim is closed to all visitors. Even though the external features of the building were rennovated last year, the interior remains unsafe. On a recçnt visit to the museum (I was not permit- ted to go beyond a specified area on the first floor) I was appalled to see the condition of Alfred's past.

Interior deteriorates The physical structure of the interior is deteriorating rapidly. This includes falling plaster, weak staircases, faulty electrical wiring, weak beams, and buckling floors.

However, this is not the greatest tragedy of the building; for in addition, thé many priceless exhibits are being destroyed by the dual ravages of time and vandalism.

It seemed to me that such historic materials should be saved from destruction, even if the buiMing itself is beyond the hope of rehmovation. This prompted me to speak to Pres- ident Miles in order to deter- mine what, if anything, was being done.

He informed me that although the future restoration of the Steinheim is planned, other college facilities, such as housing, must have higher pri- ority.

Nevertheless, he assured me that the past would not be for- gotten in favor of the future;

for there are several ideas cir- culating aimed at saving the contents of the building and tke structure itself.

One such idea is to Wire a curator, such as Paul Gard- ner, an AU graduate currently employed at the Smithson- ian institute, too classify .the materials in the Steinheim as whether worthless junk or valuable exhibition pieces.

After this initial classification. a team of four or five other curators would classify further the two broad categories already established.

Another tentative idea would be the establishment of a ro- tating exhibit in which spécif- ié materials of the Steinheim such as early American his-

However, a total restoration would not be feasible at the present moment since the pro- posed ceramic arts building, to be completed in roughly two years, will house a 400 seat theater.

In addition, the new physical education center, to be started this summer, will have a seating capacity of 3,000 and thus, can be used as a setting for symphonic orches-

(Continued on Page 8?)

Interior of Steinheim shows tory, \fcpuld be displayed peri- odically.

These are only possible solu- tions but' they are steps in the right direction to preserve one of Alfred's most cherished pos- sessions.

However, the only obstacle to these suggestions are the necessary funds which would come from either the Universi- ty or from an outside source.

Everything possible will be done, Pres. Miles assured me, to procure the needed funds, but in the meantime, ideas must suffice.

Alumni Hall Alumni Hall, another exam- ple of Alfred's past, is in a similar situation as the Stein- heim. Although the exterior has been more or less restor- ed, the interior, according to President Miles, is "only slight- ly less than appalling."

Considered as a theater for theatrical and CPC presentations, Alumni Hall does not make the grade. Its stage is too high and thus creates camiped necks for those en- thusiasts Who like to nestle back in those hard, wooden chairs.

Every board squeaks, be. it on or off stage, so that a late- comer will quickly be recogniz- ed by both the audience and/

or the performers.

It seems 'almost a miracle that the drama department has been able to stage excellent theatrical presentations under such conditions;

What can be dione to Alumna Hall? It has been estimated that $50,000 to $100,000 is needed to completely renno- vate the interior of this building.

The Steinheim is packed with potentially valuable exhibits.

By LARREL SMOUSE Due to mailing difficulties, SDS was not able to show a film on napalm Feb. 26 as it had planned. In place of the film, the organization was able to get Ross Flanagan to speak on medical aid for civilians in Viet Nam.

Flanagan is Director of the Quaker Project on Community Conflict. Ventures undertaken by this project include tech- niques in confronting extrem- ist groups and police-community efforts exploring new ap- proaches to training in the problems of peace-keeping.

At the beginning of his lecture, Flanagan pointed out that two things have become clear about the war in Viet Nam during the past year.

According to Flanagan, our country is now less concerned with saving Viet Nam for the Vietnamese. Also, the administration is no longer making claims that we are only target- ing military targets.

Because of the increased number of civilian casualties the Quakers, and other religious and voluntary groups must deal with the problem of human suffering in Viet Nam.

But Flanagan feels that, in a way, Such groups are only encouraging more attacks since the government can rely on them to help the people at various centers.

These groups feel their aid is necessary, however. Since

corruption has been reported in the Agency for Internation- al Development, foreign aid to South Viet Nam may be Out.

And even the aid now being given is not supplied to mili- tant Buddhists or to areas where the Viet Cong are sus- pected.

In the spring of 1965, they tried to send aid through the North Viet Nam Red Cross, but this aid never arrived. Many reasons were given, but it was finally revealed that such aid was in violation of the Trad- ing with the Enemy Act.

Flanagan feels the United States government is placing North Viet Nam "out of bounds to human compassion"

through this act.

This act prevents the sending of such aid through the U.S. mail. To get around this, the Quakers are sending their aid out through Canada.

At first aid could not be sent out in this way, but the Canadian government is no longer enforcing the Trading with the Enemy Act.

This is partially due to the fact that the country was in an awkward situation as a neu- tral nation sending aid to South Viet Nam but not to the North.

Flanagan believes that this act which restricts them is in direct opposition to the moral obligation suggested by the Geneva Convention.

His theory is that "liif it's good enough for the Pope and the International Red Cross, it's good enough for us." Thus

•he s u p p o r t s sending aid through the North Viet Nam Red Cross if they promise to use it only for civilian casualties.

He also feels our country is trying to "bleed the enemy to death at the conference table."

He argues, "If they can't distinguish in killing people, why should the Quakers distinguish in giving aid?"

Criticizing our policy in Viet Nam, he mentioned the use of the M16 rifle which tears men apart to "improve the kill ra- tio." He summed up his opinion of the administration's policy with the words, "Give us our way or we'll Ml you all."

In a discussion period after the lecture, the main issue seemed to be whether our country has a right to imitate the methods of the Viet Cong.

The attitude of some seemed to be that this was indeed necessary.

But Flanagan felt that because of the Judeo-Christian heritage, we Should value the individual life rather than re- sorting to the ideas of the Vi- et Cong.

Student Senate proposes course evaluation study

Last Tuesday night, a group

•of students headed by Dan Krevolin, chairman of the academic policy committee for the stuent senate, met to discuss the possibility of a course evaluation policy. The study will be a joint-faculty-student effort to benefit both groups.

Its goals were tentatively designated as two-fold: to give students the opportunity to rate courses they have completed according to content and presentation, and to af- ford the faculty the opportunity to describe the content, method irnd relevance of their courses.

The general purpose Sis to aid students in choosing courses valuable to their programs of study.

The course evaluation study will be based on a question- naire which includes the categories of student background, lecture and lecturer readings,

assignments, exams and grad- ing!

Judgment wilt be made on a continuum scale, with an open-end question allowing students to-make additional com- ments. <

The results of the question- naire will not be openly published this, year, 'brat will be made available to the respec- tive professor, and a copy will be kept on file in the Senate office for interested students.

In the future, the results will be published in pamphlet form and made available at a nominal fee to the general student body.

There will be an open meeting at 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, Mar.

5, in Room B for afi students and faculty wishing to work on thte project or seeking further information on the course evaluation study.

The U.S. Office Of Education has announced the allocation of fellowships for graduate stu- rdy by prospective elementary and secondary school teachers.

These fellows wiU participate during the 1968-69 academic year in 273 programs throughout the 50 states. New York State is offering 142 fellowships.

The program provides for up to two years of graduate study on a full-time basis leading to an advanced degree oth- ther than a dtotetorate.

Fellows receive stipends of

SDS protest termed peaceful-

public reactions appeared mild

By COREY SULLIVAN Two job recruiters from Dow Chemical Company came to Alfred University l a s t Thursday. The local SDS chapter demonstrated, with pla- cards protesting Dow's manu- facturing of l.apalm, and Uni- versity "complicity" in the war effort.

The demonstration Wals peaceful, marked by a few dis- putes. The fiist misunder- standing was over the extent of the recruiters' offices.

The demonstrators said they were told they could demon»

strate outside the office doors, as long as they were quiet. But they were barred admittance to an anteroom outside the offices.

They asked whether the anteroom constitutes an office..

The demonstrators said that the locked door policy was ap- parently decided upon in a telephone conversion t h a t morning.

Dean Powers asked the demonstrators to stay out of the anteroom, saying he was only interpreting the guidelines.
