Dan Swain wins class presidency

Dan Swain, Bill West, and Dan Lacey were elected presidents of (next year's senior, junior and sophomore classes, respectively, in

elections held yesterday.

Elected, to be senior officers, along with Swain, were: Russ Gardner, men's vice-president and treasurer; and Priscilla' Grant, women's vice-president and secretary.

Bob Genant was elected to serve the junior class as men's vice

president and treasurer, and Sal- ly Winterbottom was named women's vice-president and secre- t a r y of the junior class.

Bob Benincftsa was elected sophomore men's vice-president and treasurer. Judy Olson will serve as women's vice-president and secretary of the Class of '68.

Swain and West are brothers of Klan Alpine fraternity. Lacey,

an independent, ihas served as (president of this year's freshman class.

Yesterday's elections instituted a recent amendment to the, Stu- dent Senate constitution. The number of class officers was re- duced from five to three through the combination of the positions of men's vice-president and treasurer, and women's vice-president a n d secretary. .

. . . „ » f i t will attemnt to find hous- bershops was brought to the Charles Willis, regional direc-

tor of the New York State Com- mission of Human Rights, has encouraged University students to

do whatever they can toward re- ducing racial* discrimination in the Alfred-Horoell area.

Willis' comment was prompted by the recent organization of the Alfred University Student Free- dom Union. The SFU • is a Stu- dent Senate-recognized student group whose purpose, according to its constitution/, is to fight human injustices. It }s currently interested in civil injustices being committed in Hornell.

. SFU has given particular consideration to the problems suffered by Negroes in securing housing in Hornell. At last Wednes- day's meeting, Larry Adlerstein, Union leader, discussed the group's efforts in investigating these problems. Several Negroes attended the meeting to tell of their experiences and express

• ¡their views about the racial situation, in Hornell.

Through the Hornell YMCA, SFU became acquainted with Mrs.

Hall, wiho> considers renting a significant problem for Negroes.

Mrs. Hall has found rental costs for Negroes very high and living conditions often poor. The Halls and their family have been -unable to find proper housing in

Hornell.

Those .Negroes present at the meeting expressed opinions sim- ilar to t h a t of Mrs. Hall. Mr.

Johnson, who came north witlh his family as a migrant worker, now rents from a Negro. He des- cribed the conditions as good.

Another Negro, Mrs. Bastian, is paying $100 a month rent for an apartment in poor condition. She explained that this must be paid in advance. "The owner will not accept our promise to pay," she said.

Willis was in Hornell last week to investigate the Negro (housing situation, because of a formal complaint he received. Adlerstein spoke to Willis then Concerning SFU and received encouragement from him. ,

Willis listened to the procedure which SFU should follow in fighting housing discrimination. Stu- dents could make .phone calls to realtors to learn the rental costs for a white family. A Negro family will then inquire for Tent.

Students' role

Comparison will be made of the costs quoted and if discrimination is apparent, students will file affidavits with the State Commis- sion on Human Rights. The Com- mission has the power to prose- cute and maiy revoke realtors' li- censes.

SFU will attempt to find housing for ,the Halls, a Negro family with five children.

The organization has been giving consideration to joining a national group such as the Student Noni-Violent Coordinating Com- mittee or the Congress of Racial Equality. No decision has been reached about such affiliation.

Job opportunities Negro job opportunities in Hor- nell were also discussed at last week's meeting. The Negroes present expressed concern over their difficulty in finding work.

Untrained for any particular type of work, Mr. Johnson has been unable to find employment in Hornell.

Discrimination in bars and bar-

bershops was brought to the at- tention of the group. Mr. Hall said that he has lived im Hornell for 16 years. If he gqes into a bar alone, "it's okay. But if I go i n with a friend, we're told that we may have only one drink and then we must leave. And who wants to drink alone?"

• Mr. Hall said that he realized

• that the purpose of this is to prevent trouble. "Two .Negroes are more likely to cause trouble tham one," he explained. He also ex- p r e s s e d concern for those Negroes

who purposely make trouble and thus make it difficult for others to secure their rights.

Several of the Negroes said that (Continued on Page 7)

"The purpose of a university is to work devotedly to the task of setting man firee," said Prof.

Myron K. Sibley in his address loin "The Implements of Freedom"

ait the Honors Convocation last Thursday.

Flora Dinucci, a senior classics major, received special honors in the presentation of awards which followed Professor Sibley's speech.

In his talk, Professor Sibley,

chairman of the philosophy department, said that a "university is dedicated- to the idea that man ought to be firee, and t h a t he is in fact not free."

"To argue that man ought to be free is difficult because it

seems so obvious. Looked a t from the negative side we can say that few images a r e more excruciating to our view t h a n examples of man's arbitrary enslavement of man," said Pro- fessor Sibley. "When we want to And an efficient way of punsh- ing, we limit freedom," he continued.

Freedom with Knowledge Profiesbor Sibley staited that t h e history of man is a record of increasing freedom parallel- ing increasing knowledge. Mod:

icine also provides examples of freedom from enslavement to diseases that once were epidemic, he said, and both records support the contention that main ought to be firee.

Commenting further, Professor Sibley explained that any •great

Senate votes to amend dormitory representation

A motion to change dormitory representation in the Student Senate, giving each floor a representative of ita own, -was passed at last week's Senate meeting.

The motion in the form of a constitutional amendment, ipassed 23 to three.

In discussion this motion, Ro- bert Johnson, .Senate treasurer, eaid he was opposed to such a change. He felt that occasionally a dormitory lloor has no compe- t e n t representative available.

Johnson said the present system In which floors vote together, is better because it brings the dor- mitories' most capable people in- to the Senate.

Discussion favoring the motion 'was cenitered around the closer contact with fche student body the new system would bring a/bout.

The majority of the Senators felt t h a t a t least one .person on each floor is qualified to be a repre-

Masters, Miller appointed to conduct board

Susanjna Masters and David Miller have 'been selected to fill the two at-large positions on the 1965-66 student conduct board.

er, Student Senlate president;

KatMeen Kupferer, ¡Association of Women Students president; the academic deans; and the person- nel deans.

sentaitive.

In other Senate action, the constitution of the newly-formed Stu- dent Freedom Union was approv- ed by a vote of 20 to six.

Controversy over the constitution centered around the purpose,

"to deal with human injustices."

Many senators felt that, since tihe organization would probably seek Senate appropriations in the future, the purpose of the group should be more clearly defined.

Larry Adlerstein, chairman of the S'FU, elaborated on the goals of the organization. He said the group will sponsor forums, en- courage student activity, and lend financial support to organizations such as COKE and the NAACP.

Commenting on the constitution, Adlerstein said, "this constitution is a very honest constitution, designed to be flexible because of the nature of this organization."

A motion suggested by Presi- dent Howard Wiener creating the position of assistant chairman of student affairs, was also passed last Tuesday.

The assistant chairman, who will be appointed by ithe president and will sit on the execu- tive council, will be specifically in dharge of matters pertaining to flhe National Student Associa- tion and the College Center of the Finger Lakes.

Pat CiarduMo was appointed by Wiener as assistant chairman of the student affairs committee following the passing of the motion.

Other appointments by Wiener include the naming of Dave Kotch and Laurie Meyerowitz as Func- tional Service Committee co-chair- men. Jim Place was appointed Academic Policy Committee chairman. 'Paula Molson was re-appointed Publicity Chairman.

He plans to "made a thorough

and critical analysis of Lipp- mann's writings in an effort to show the content and evolution off bis thought".

The book to be written by Dr.

Leach on Lippmann will be published by Twayne Publishers as a volume in their American Writ- er Series.

The College Center also awarded a grant of $900 to Dr. Louis B. Hall, associate professor of English, for research on a «Mid- dle English Arthurian romance of the fourteen century entitfled:

"Libeaus Desconus

The story exists in five manuscripts preserved In museums, li-

braries and private collections in London and Oxford. Dr. Hall plans to examine each manuscript or a microfilm off it, and select one as a base manuscript on the basis of its age, purity of dialect, and literary merit.

A critical edition of Libeaus Desconus will be prepared con- taining a complete transcription of the base manuscript, footnotes indicating significant variations

Whither. SFU?

When students involve themselves in student government, student rights, and even the student newspaper there is an ele- ment of comfort, for taction taken is sometimes revocable: But now a large number of Alfred students are involved in-the newly formed Student Freedom Union, which demands, if the group is to operate at all, a series of decisive actions. These

actions must be accurate lat their first encounter, because when one is dealing with human lives he cannot retrace his path of action.

We believe that the goals of the SFU are essentially worthwhile. The aim to cure "civil injustices" is, as Larry Adlerstein has acknowledged, a bit ¡wide, but the goal of mak- ing Alfred students aware |of and involved in the important civil rights struggle of the 1960's is important to the Univer- sity. |We do hope that the SFU becomes a-viable, recognized group on our campus.

We are further pleased by the SFU's decision to begin work near to home, and to try to combat racial discrimination in Hornell. This is entirely appropriate because, according to all reports, there is a distinct measure of racial discrimina- tion in Hornell, specifically in the area of housing. To begin in Hornell is also appropriate because it is unlikely that the beginning le^deéship <for a civil rights effort there could come from Hornell residents' themselves.

Despite our real enthusiasm, we do have certain misgiv- ings about the ,action the SFU (has ¡taken to date. Because, as we said in the opening paragraph, the efforts made here are certain to affect the lives of the Negroes in Hornell it is ab- solutely necessary that the SFU have a strong organization, continuity of ¡leadership, friends in a bi-racial group in Hor- nell, assurance of continued interest and support by a large number of students, and affiliation with a ¡major civil rights group such as CORE or SNCC.

Before the SFU should proceed further in its action, which to date has suffered from lack of planning, it should seriously examine itself, and, the immediate goals, desired in Hornell, to convince itself that it satisfies or can satisfy the qualifica- tions set forth in the preceding paragraph. Until those guide- lines are satisfied the SFU should not take an activist role, in order to prevent thè unfair disruption of the lives of people who aré to bp involved.

We should reiterate our support for the principles and goals which guide the SFU. That we are sympathetic could scarcely be doubted, however we hope that the members of the SFU will stand back from the moment and decide if they are willing to taake the sacrifices in time and energy which will be necessary for the Union to function successfully. We hope that (after the members do this, that they will procede with a combination of haste and planning and we wish them good luck in their efforts.

,— CRITIQUE

Who's Afraid Of Mary Worth?

-by Steve Skeates—

Alfred University: (a "camp" description):

"The senseless criminals would be taken to Doc's sky- scraper office. In a day or so, men would call for them, and take them to a mysterious institution hidden away in the mountains of up-State New York. There they would undergo a treatment which would turn them into honest, upright citi- zens.

"This treatment consisted of a delicate brain operation which wip

r

?d out all knowledge of their past. Then the men would be taught like children, with an emphasis on honesty and good citizenship. They would learn a trade. Turned out into the world again, they were highly desirable citizens . . . "

— "Doc Savage"

"Campness" is becoming the social criterion, replacing such forerunners as "U and Non-U," "In and Out," and

"Square, Hip and Beat."

What is "camp"? Well, according to a recent "New York Times" article, it is a taste which s nether good nor bad taste.

To be more specific, "It's camp" is primarily an abbreviation for such statements as "It's so bad, it's good."

There are two basic kinds of camp: unintentional camp, such as 1930 Batman comics and contemporary Hercules mov- ies, and intentional camp, such as refrigerators with Pop art paintings on the doors. The former is considered the best, be- cause it is not pretentious.

Now, "campness' becoming a social criterion has brought about certain changes in the statuses thlat make up our Judeo- Christian culture, so to speak. The change which I wish to discuss at this point is that which is taking place in the pres- tige ratings of the colleges.

Take for example (because of their proximity) those col- leges found in New York State. At one time, New York City schools had high prestige because of their location. But New York City is the center of intentionlal camp: there are stores that specialize in camp items, and Gimbel's is running a sale on feminine foundation garments named after James Bond,

"The Double-007 Eye Opener."

Meanwhile, upstate New York is the center of unintention- al camp. The monument of this is the Midtown clock in Roches- ter.

Does this mean that upstlate schools now have more pres- tige than city schools? Does this mean that Alfred is more

"in,?' more "camp" than Columbia ? We'll investigate this prob- lem next week.

Savin shares his wisdom on demonstration's goal

In the wake of the demonstration, certain existential t r u t h s

transcending any repeated) re- dundancy on the p a r t of the members of the student body in actions or i n deeds came to the fore i n a r a t h e r overwhelming demonstration of certain existen^

tial truths.

Thus, we can f u r t h e r elaborate to the> point where /the circum- stance involved about this controversy can he f u l l y i n view, if not completely understood, in Its own way.

(Let It be pointed out t h a t these studentts involved were, to

the best of t h e knowledge so f a r collected a t this source, acting out of a serious need and desire for a religious experience, which could transpire at the required time because of a s o r t of philo- sophical road-blodk t h r u s t in the way and thereby in t h e wake by the administration amd also other ¡parties involved such a s the faculty of Alfred University.

Progress toward peace

seen in Viet Nom crisis

Letter to the Editor

Lack of Senate action lamented

by Robert Johnson

Early comment from the West- ern press on President Johnson's

¡Eaister proposal peroipitated great optimism aftouit the probability of a Viet Nam settlement. Such statements of praise as that made fa England's pro-tobar Daily iMir- ror:

"The president's word« are both statesmanlike and vtime- ly. They should go far to dis- pel the criticism—much of it misguided, hysterical, and ig- norant—of America's defense of South Viet Nam against the communist north. The Presi- dent's message to the Commu- nists in Viet Nam and China' is clear and courageous. The choice is now theirs."

lead to the strong Ibelief that the

"World was soon to ibe rid of one o í its South-east Asian hot spots.

Then, amid great optimism came the shook of reality. Red China condemned ¡the proposal as being fiull of "ganster logic and (big lies." North Viet Nam labell- ed it "hypocracy." In general the oamimunist world said it would

¡have no part of the Easter proposal. Western optimism reverted into dire pessimism. Some iirma- tionaligts «vein feared that World War III' was close at hand.

¡But Hanoi made two replies to the Johnson proposals. One was a declaration of (hypocracy and the other was North Viet Nam'is own four point proposal. Although the Vietnamíes e proposals iweire not acceptable to American diplo- mats, their basic primases and their .radically changed demands presented hopeful sign®.

Both the ¡United States and North Viet Nam accepted as a

"basis for negotiation, a respect for the 1954 Geneva Agreement.

The import of this mutual respect was so great thiat it lead U-Thamt to make the following encouraging remark:

"There appears to be gen- eral consensus, at least be- tween Hanoi and Washington, on the need to return to the es- sentials of the 1954 Geneva agreements. I think this is a

Scholes looks to future of science

"iSomeday I feel that scientists will be able to photograph a sin- gle atom," Dr. Samuel Scholes

Sr. stated in a lecture at the meeting of the Alfred student branch of the American Ceramics Society last Wednesday.

Speaking on "The Old and the New," Dr. Scholes discussed the lews of science ithat have been (formulated since he began study- ing chemistry and science to 1902.

In reference to science in the future, Dr. Scholes stated that the newly developed Laser Beam, a narrow path of intensely con- centrated energy, h a s unlimited potential.

He also said ¡that it was the responsibiltiy of today's college students to continue the rapid pace at which science has been advancing in the past two de- cades.

In addition Hanoi did not demand that U.S. withdrawal be a condition to negotiation, (but rather a result of negotiation.

This seemingly radical change in attitude suggests an increasing willingness of the North Vietnam- ese to end the war.

¡However there are still maary unsolved problems. North Viet Nam, for example, proposes

"peaceful reunification of Viet Nam without amy foreign inter- ference," while the United States demand thait there be two Viet Nams.

Parents'' weekend May 7, 8

To the Administration of Alfred University:

In response to the extra edition of the Fiat Lux and the statements made toy Pres. M. Ellis Drake we would like to convey the views of a few of the demonstrators of Tuesday night, two weeks ago.

We feel th'is calendar was de- lineated with little or no concern, for the students' religious feel- ings. How is it possible for a re ligiously founded University to be so inconsiderate of the students' beliefs?

In opposition to changing the sacred calendar the administration gave several reasons one of which was that ithere wasn't sufficient time to amend it. Might we note that on Tuesday night the students were notified of the cancellation of Wednesday after- noon classes in memory of the late President Norwood, a man with whom few students were acquainted. How is it possible for the University to procure a change in the calendar on sudh short notice?

Another reason given was that the administration had made pro- visions for all students ¡to prac- tice their religions on campus. We

•think this very considerate but we would like to point out that the prisoners of Auburn State Prison are also granted this priv- ilege. Is it asking too mudh of the important religious weekends w.th our parents without being penalized for it? We are told that we would be able to obtain excuses from classes but this is of little consequence to the knowledge we lose for celebrating these holidays.

A third reason given was that some parents complained of the cost of transportation for so short a holiday. In comparison-, a vast majority of the parents place (the cost of transportation secondary to having their children with them during these holidays. Par- ents and students realize t h a t there are very few religious ob- servances such as Eastér or Pass- over remaining which ¡they will be able to celebrate as a family.

Pertaining to statements made

by the Student Senate President that the demonstration was dis- organized and with no apparent goal we would like ¡to make a few comments. We feel that the Senate is in no position to criti- cize such a demonstration when it seems to be less occupied with this problem, which affects all the students, than wîîlh such problems as liquor and women in the men's dorms for which the former they suggested a boycott of the town of Alfred. Why*didn't:

the Senate call for a demonstration for a problem which was more immediate and pressing to ithe Student Body? For this demonstration there would not have been the lack of support for which they have beén screaming in the past.

We ' realize that it is too late to alleviate th's problem for this year, but We sirtcerely hope What the administration will take into consideration this problem in the near future.

. Sincerely yours, Gary C. Knox Dennis C. Nagle

Plan demonstrations by the rules

CPS1)—Now that a healthy number of colleges across the country have demonstrated, are dem- onstrating, or will demonstrate, it is time to outline a few guide- lines by which such uprisings can proceed. As a veteran of both guerilla and conventional warfare with the Oberlin College administration, I can assure neophytes in the profession that the game theory of campus combat is not as easy as it looks from the press reports. One must consider items ranging from student body support to public relations. Issues might even be a factor. In this and two subsequent articles, I will pose the problems. First, a few general rules which might prove helpful.

Rule One: Decide whether yours is a reform movement or a revolution. Reform movements aim at implementing change in a specific area of college policy, e.g., social rules, faculty tenure, cafe- teria food. Once demands have been met, protest ceases.

Revolutionary movements aim a t implementing basic changes within the university e.g., resig- nation of the president, abolition of the board of trustees, elimina-j tion of classes.

Reform movements are candid as to goals, swift in execution, and receptive towards negotia- tions. Revolutionary movements are secretive as to goals, gradual in escalation, and receptive towards riot.

Your decision between the two will reflect various considera- tions: the degree to which you despise the administration; the degree to which your student body shares your sentiment; or the degree to which your student body can be encouraged to share your sentiment.

Admittedly, a movement which begins with limited goals can reach revolutionary proportions if the powers-that-be act stupidly in dealing with its participants.

Similarly, a projected revolution can collapse if administration ac- ceptance of subsidiary demands stifles the enthusiasm of its fol- lowers. While the latter develop- ment is more disappointing than the former, both should toe fore- seen. This leads us into our second point.

Rule Two: Know thine enemy.

If you're fighting for reform, at least discover which individu- a l s or committees exercise author- ity over the question. How silly

it is to fight a college president for a social rules change deter- mined 'by the faculty., All he has to do is to say, "Well, I'm just one among many on this issue,"

and then where will you be?

By the same token, if you're interested in revolution, determine who should be ousted. For example, your college president may be an impossible man. He might toe supported, however, by an atrocious board of regents or

•trustees which would appoint somebody worse to take (his place.

This may be advantageous in the long run if you think you caii sustain the battle, but an equally plausible alternative is to aim at issues for which you would fight irrespective of particular person- alities.

Rule Three: Know thine campus.

"To know" in this rule means to possess an understanding of the main grievances of the student body. In crisis situations, tem- perament can be ascertained eas- ily tout the normal lull Is less in- dicative. It is clear that a reform movement protesting policies to which the campus is indifferent has as much chance of success as the anti-flo|aridation fighters.

The same principle applies to rev- olutionaries; The American Revo- lution m a s have been fought around the Declaration of Inde- pendence, ¡but there was that business with the tea to get things moving. And remember, the anger of a student body subsides around exam periods.

Rule Four: Know thine allies.

"Allies" means anyone in the faculty or administration who agrees with you. Without question, the public relations quotient of a student demonstration multi- plies tenfold if the angels of aca- demia back it. In some instances, desire for such support may in- fluence your initial choice of aims and actions, depending on wJTat you expect to accomplish. The main problem, of course, it to determine whether Professor X is a friend throughout, or whether his good graces are contingent up- on your long-term approach. You may decide to forego his friend- ship. If you do, at least evaluate your reasons carefully. Nothing

¡hurts more than a disenchanted ally.

This by no means exhausts the list of rules for demonstration planning, but it can serve as a start.

Remember: mobilize forces for efficiency

(•CPS)—Reform movements are less exciting than revolutions, but that's the most you can expect from campuses these .days.

Even so, the effective implemen- tation of university reform is an art unto itself, demanding a degree of political sophistication as refined as that of the revolutionary. An understanding of the tem- perament of the student body, a sensitivity to the personality of administrators, an effective utili- zation of' communication media, and am awareness of the impor- tance of timing are all necessary.

These, however, are only the pre- requisites. Specific points must be considered.

Any successful reform movement must rely on campus con- Census. This doesn't m e a n ' ithat everyone will work actively ¡In the effort. It does mean that you can't afford to alienate a large segment of the student body. The easiest way out for an adminis- trator is to quote a letter to the editor of the campus newspaper

which says, "Speaking as an un- dergraduate, I can not honestly say that this movement repre- sents my interests, either in goals

or in tactics." College deans and presidents like to believe such things anyway—tangible evidencç will verify their suspicions. If you're not careful, they might be right.

Consequently, the coordinating committe of any demonstration group should t r y to include as many from the campus Establish-

ment as possible. Student government representatives, fraternity leaders, newspaper editors, judicial board members, and political spokesmen all qualify. Ad- mittedly, the initial coordinating committee can't be too large — anything more than 12 or 13 becomes cumbersome, tout the great- er the scope of representation within t h a t number, the better the chance of success. Too many movements collapse because student leaders work a t cross purposes.

The first task of such a coordinating group is to decide the area of protest and to find a specific solution. Careful consideration should be accorded to the number of people who would be willing to demonstrate on a given question. Equal time must be al- lotted to the precise proposal of the movement. Experience has shown t h a t honesty Is the best policy In reform—if you want something, don't let pessimism about its acceptability get to

your way. If compromises must be made, let the administration pro- pose them. At least they'll be clear that "meeting half-way" is only temporary and that they might expect demonstrations in f u t u r e years to secure the other half.

Onoe plans are outlined, the mass meeting is in order. If you've chosen your issueB carefully and marshalled the support of campus notables, you should draw a substantial turnout. At that point, the chairman of the group should outline the plans, open the floor for discussion, and hope that the project meets approval.

If it doesn't, the coordinating committee is in trouble, but minor changes might be sufficient to answer objections. The gathering should be used for organizational purposes as well—signs, petitions, fact sheets, and verbalizers require people. Unless you enjoy flunking exams, division of labor is -necessary.

Assuming continuation of t h e present distribution pattern, the number of scholarships offered Alfred University students would reatih 10 or 12, he added.

The purpose of the program is ito enable teachers to incorporate t h e concepts of linear spaces and matrices into their undergradu- ate programs.

Ablon joined the Alfred Univer- sity faculty in 1962 a f t e r serving for nearly three years as project engineer for Graflex Inc. in Ro- chester. He earne-d his A.B. degree at Alfred and M.S. in ap- plied mathematics at the Univer- sity of Rochester.
