Students demonstrate interest in codifying University policies

Interest in the completion of a s t u d e n t handbook, which will cod- i f y all the various social and aca-

demic rules of the University, was shown last week by Universi- t y Pres. M. Ellis Drake, Paul F.

Powers, dean of students, a n d Bill Vanech, ¡Student Senate president.

At present t h e r e is n o unified student handbook f o r all students ait the University. Recent interest in such a hook, which h a s been talked about in the past few years, resulted f r o m t h e suspen- sion of three University students

in disciplinary action t a k e n t h r e e weeks ago.

T h e specific elements of the case involving the three suslpend- ed students w a s reported In t h e Fiat Imx of Feb. 23. Related to t h i s case, and t h e cause of the recent interest in a student handbook, was t h e suggestion t h a t students h a d some degree of ignor-

Smaller Senate advocated in constitutional revision report

Al Eiabart, Senate vice-president and chairman of the constitutional revision committee, presented a list of several changes^

he plans to make im the constitution at last week's Senate meeting.

The m o s t controversial' revision t h a t he outlined was t h a t the Sen- a t e change its methods of representation by the residences f r o m one representative for every 35 residents, to one for every 75 or less.

Another suggested change in the constitution is that the functional service and activities coor- dinating committees be combined with the new committee retain- ing the former name.

This oamlbined committee will be responsible for all the duties

ance concerning certain Universi- ty policies.

Although President Drake felt t h e r e is a "real need" f o r a stu-

dent handbook which might re- p l a t e ithe f r e s h m a n and Associa- tion of Women S t u d e n t s hand- hooks h e felt a final decision about such a book would (have to be postponed pending research In- to the matter.

Vanech h a s appointed two members . of the Student Senate to ex- a m i n e the feasibility and means of achieving such a handbook.

He also reported a t t h e Senate meeting last week t h a t Dean Pow-

ers h a d shown an interest in such a book.

The handbook, as imagined by President ¡Drake, m i g h t include not only a listing of all t h e social and academic regulations of t h e University b u t also the roles a n d responsibilities of t h e various s t u d e n t governing groups. Presi- d e n t Drake explalined t h a t al- t h o u g h t h e University would probably bear tihe cost of such a publication t h e students would have to t a k e a n active role in t h e preparation of t h e book.

T h e statement by Vanech a t t h e Senate meeting and President Drake's comments were made independent of each other.

t h a t each oamimlittee had previously. The committee will also

serve as a campus scheduling center, since all organizations will

be Required to suibmit the dates for their activities to this committee.

In thoe way, Hisbart feels t h a t the scheduling of speakers and social activities can be regulated so that certain periods are not . crowded with events. This com-

mittee function exclude® fraternity and sorority activities.

Eisibart said t h a t the revised constitution would formalize the establishment of the academic policy committee. The Senate executive council wiill appoint t w o representatives to this committee.

The committee will include fac-

As climax to the Weekend, the 1965 St. P a t ' s Queen will be crowned Saturday night a t the Ball.

ulty representation and its purpose will be to serve as a liaison between the faculty and the students. However, it will only have the power of recommendation.

Eisbajrt brought the constitution up to date b y deleting the clause concerning the forum committee, which no longer exists.

Also deleted was a clause in the election committee, which placed organization elections under Sen- ate control. In actuality, the Sen- a t e runs only class and Senate elections.

W h e n Bisbart recommended t h a t the Senate change its f o r m of representation, he explained that by limiting the n u m b e r of representatives, the Senate would become a much smaller, more cohesive organization, capable of achieving its goals more effec- tively.

Howard Wiener, academic policy commiittee chairman, argued t h a t there is too little interest in the Senate already, and thiat by limiting the size of the group, student interest would f u r t h e r de- crease.

P a t Riley, corresponding sec- retary, countered t h a t a smiall dynamic group would be much m o r e effective t h a n a big lethar- gic- one.

President Bill Vanedh explained t h a t there are merits to both arguments. A small group may be m o r e cohesive but a small group does not generate as much interest as a large one.

Delays slow master plan, Drake is not discouraged

Despite s e v e r a l , of the "inevitable delays" which appear in a project Of its .magnitude, Uni- versity Pres. M. Ellis Drake indicated "complete satisfaction" in the progress of t h e University development program, in a Fiat Lux interview last week.

President Dralke said t h a t completion of the preliminary plans for the physical education and r e c r e a t i o n loemter and sculence a n d classroom building is anticipated in t h e n e a r f u t u r e .

H e also said t h a t University planners axe presently involved in planning a road t o b e built o n Pine Hill above t h e new m e n ' s d o r m s for t h e purpose of building a f r a t e r n i t y row. President Drake explained t h a t the steep g r a d e of pine Hill h a s presented several problems but t h a t final plans for t h e new road should ibe available in several weeks.

Once plans tor the road axe completed President Drake said 4t will be possible t o imiafee a final decision about the location of a new women's dormitory. T h e dormitory is tentatively planned f o r t h e east aide of Sayles St., across from Alumni Hall.

T h e classroom building, a s previously announced, will be located facing P i n e HUM Drive in b a c k of Allen Hall. T h e gymuasium, which h a d been planned for State St., will probably be built i n a n a r e a n e a r T e r m Cotta Field because the Hirst location provided too little space for the m a j o r building, said P r e s i d e n t Drake.

H e also said t h a t while plains

progressed for the beginning of construction of t h e several 'buildings, the University was actively engaged in f u n d raising to complete the initial drive of $3 million i n the three year period ending t h e fall of 1967. T h e University announced t h r e e weeks ago t h a t the million dollar m a r k has1 already been passed in the f u n d raising drive.

O n c e pr-efldminaay plans are completed for m a j o r buildings s u c h a s the gymnasium and classroom building, there will b e a isix month wait for final architects' drawings which contractors need in order to begin work.

U n d e r the provisions of the University master plan the women's dormitory a n d gymnasium a r e scheduled for completion by thie (jjiegftoning of the 1966-67 school year. The plans call for having the ctossiroom building to b e ready by Sept., 1967.

It is anticipated t h a t once final drawings a r e ready tor the buildings a mSnimim of one year m u s t be allowed for construction.

President Dralke said plans for t h e University health center, a project which could be built in less t h a n a year, are n e a r completion a n d should b e released in t h e n e a r future. T h e h e a l t h center is planned for the oorner of P a r k and T e r r a c e Streets, next to South Hall.

According to t h e Board otf T r u s t e e s report on t h e m a s t e r plan t h e health center should b e completed by the beginning of t h e next school year.

AWS candidates present platforms

President

Kathleen Kupferer

•Dear Women Stud-eats,

Your organization, the AWS, has farther to go 'before all its potential can be recognized. The exchanging of ideas with other colleges is progressing rapidly and well, but I feel that much more can be done to broaden and deepen AWIS' function here on campus.

I 'support and would continue to support the movement for students' rights, especially for tihose which apply to -women. Much, however can be gained by constant, firm, friendly pensusasion rather than by direct antagonism, and this is the policy I would follow if I 'were president.

I would also like to -see more programs of AWIS geared to the general feminine interest, per- hajps 'by expanding lectures to Inr

elude budgeting, or interior dec- oration or perhaps by working in conjunction with the Campus Cen- ter to secure a program similar to the "job interview"—where women from companies would come to talk with yet undecided students about their future plans.

Perhaps a regular publication by the AWS, either independent or In cooperation with the Fiat, would help to raise t!he interest of women students, necessary for AWIS to assume its rightful place as a vital and integral part of the Alfred student governmental system.

I won't make promises. Realiz- ing that AWS works on a limited -budget, I want to share with you same ideas for a better organization.

My qualifications are that I've worked on the AWS for one year and that I have played an active p a r t in student judiciary, having came from a school where all discipline problems were handled by the student government itself.

I will promise, though, that if elected, I shall put all my energy into making AWS a respected governing body, and all yours.

Sincerely,

Kathleen D. Kupferer

In t!he three years that I have been a member of the Associa- tion of Women Students, I have

seen this ongamliaation change from a non-functional, time-oon- suiming, once-a-week wasted hour to an important, -influential institution. With each new year AWS has accomplished more for the women students and has im- proved its own status tremendous- ly. However, despite all the im- provements and all the growth, there still remain many new areas with which AWS should concern itself and many old problems even yet demand attention.

This, I suppose, is the primary reason that I have accepted the nomination tor president of AWS.

I vary strongly feel that at this most crucial period in its history and in the history of Alfred Uni- versity itself, it is extremely im- partant amid n oces&ary that we elect someone who is flamiliar with the integral workings of this institution. Slomeone who has seen the changes in AWS and Alfred;

someone who having known the past can look forward to and work toward a better future.

Every year new projects and ideas arise. Work is done on these projects and time is sipent on ma- terializing these ideas; yet at the end of each year, these plans a r e forgotten as (he old officers leave, and the new >uniiamiiliar

ones take over. I am not unfa- miliar with the student organization on the Alfred campus. Nei- ther have I forgotten the ideas

of yesterday.

But I am very tired of seeing progress stop in June with gradu- ation, -and then not continue again

•until September, oftentimes in a new direction. It is essential that you elect someone to the position of president of AWS who will he a tie between the aooamipliish- ments cf yesterday and today;

and the hopes for tomorrow.

Vice-President

Lynn Carpenter

The aims of the A. W. S. to date have 'been concerned with administering the rules to the women on camipus and effec- tively mediating between the student body and , the adm inistra- tion in regard to the infraction of these same rules. Whereas

these are two of (the most essential functions of the A. W. S.

it is also essential that this organization define itself to the women and become more dynamic in its programs.

Through the policies which have been introduced in the past year, including the honor dorm, women's curfew extensions, women in men's apartments, and orientation of freshmen women, the A. W. S. hais proven its interest in -the women on campus and demonstrated the ability to carry through on its ideas. The executive council of the A. W. S. of which I have been a member for two years, and the full council have considered these programs carefully and they are now in the hands of the administration.

All the above policies, with the proper guidance, could came into effect within the next two yeara.

The vice-president of the council, upon election, assumes the

position of president of Women's Senior Court. I feel it is essential that a senior, rather than a junior, hold this position since it consists of work with seven other senior women and close association With the dean. The effective handling of this position could alleviate much strain between students and administration and could create an integral 'wlorkjimig relationship tt>e- tween the A. W. S. and Senior Court. I feel that with my three years of working experience I could more than adequately han- dle those positions.

Rather than proposing an entirely new platform I feel that it is -more important that I reinforce the policies that have been started this year and also support fully the ideas of the new president.

The essential functions of the

A. W. S. will 'be carried out effec- tively no matter who is in office.

However, new ideas and knowledge of important proposals are at my disposal and I would lilke to carry through the work I have been doing for the past year with the council and the administration. The A. W. S. during the administration of this year's officers has begiun to show itself as the important organization it should be, and I would like to see it, and help it, gain more importance t h i s coming

year through the effective control and planning of its old and new duties.

Does the vice president of As- sociated Women Students hold a [moribund office, does she have a job only in the absence of the president?. Of course not, an office holder makes her position -as interesting and as active as she -wants.

T h e vice president of AWiS pre- sides over and establishes a liaison between Senior Court and AWS for the evaluation and change of regulation. If I am

elected, continued work on the revision of the present curfews, a n honor system, and an honor dortm would be major goals of next year's agenda.

As a representative to the council by freshman year, I became experienced with the functions of -the AWS system on our campus.

I became aware of other opinions and resolutions by representing the women of the Brick on the 'Council.

This year I have held the of- five of the contact for the Inter- collegiate Association of Women Students. Through this office, I h a vie corresponded with other schools, discussing curfews, hon- or systems, honor dorms, and regulations of women in general.

My knowledge of how other schools have modernized their regulations in compliance with students' rights movements has

given me a more complete in- sight into the situations on our campus.

My experience on the council has made me familiar with the work of the council as a liaison between the women and the administration. It is difficult to promise to achieve specifics, but I

Pettit discusses formation of US, European state theaters

"America is developing a national theater, but it will never duplicate the foreign pattern,"

sai'd Dr. Paul Pettit, professor of speech and dramatic a r t of t h e State University in Albany, iin his lecture cm "The National T h e a t e r : A European Definition"

last Wednesday.

A graduate of Alfred in 1942, Dr. Pettiit served as an advisor f o r ' the Syrian national theater and later received a grant- to study the national theater imove- Irnemt in. e a s t e r n amid central Europe.

Dr. Paul Pettit

The national theater had its roots in the upsurge of nation- aililm in Europe in the 1940's and 1950's, says Dr. Pettit. There was- a desire to keep the language pure and the national theater

•was meant to accomplish tbiis.

One cannot equate Communism

•with the national theater move- m e n t in the satellites, Dr. Pettit pointed out. T h e decentraliza-

tion of the theaters is notaJble.

There are local as well a s s t a t e theaters and there are a large niuimlber of theaters and a variety of touring drama/tic, ballet, and puppet groups, the lecturer added.

The state has, however, a min- istry of culture which maintains a tightly controlled organization, stated Dr. Pettit. It provides sub- sidies for productions and in this way admission fees are extremely inexpensive.

This is the key to the success of t h e national theater, said Dr.

P e t t i t T h e r e is constant demand for new materials, and artists of the performing arts can live comfortably on their wages.

Similarly, the state finances the rigorous and highly disiplined (training of potential artists, he

said.

Research is recognized as very important to the performing arts, added Dr. Pettit. Hungary has detailed folios on 10,000 play- wrights, and recordings and pic- tures of performances are also gathered for use in research.

In Stalinist times, Dr. Pettit found, the play had to m a k e a Communist point; now the play m u s t not m a k e a n anfti-Cammun- ist point. Tennessee Williams,

Thornton Wilder and Arthur Mil- ler a r e very popular there.

"The roots of a national t h e a t e r inlavement in America are linked with the academic theater move- m e n t , " stated Dr. Pettit.

Ottly neede, he concluded, are greater interdependence between theaters, greater awareness of potential and, most impor- t a n t a -larger acceptance t h a t the theaiter is the core of human- dzation and civilization of peoples.

Christianity and Judaism related by Hillel director in talk here

"New Testament Christianity Is the unconscious outcome of Phar- isaic Judaism," said Dr. Richard L Rulbenstein last Thursday after- noon in his lecture on "Judaism and Christianity: Their Agree- ments and Differences."

Director of the B'nai B'rith Hil- lel Foundation, Dr. Rubenstein also serves as chaplain to Jewish

students a t the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Chatham College and Duquesne University.

Dr. Rubenstein began his psy- choanalytical interpretation of the doctrines of Judaism a n d of Christianity by tracing the history of the progressive subordin- ation of the Jewish community in Palestine to the Roman' Em- pire.

T h e disappearance of JewHsh autonomy brought the expectation of two messiahs Dr. Rubenstein told his audience. H e identified t h e son of Joseph as the political messiah, promising the restora- tion of Jewish autonomy: com- parable to Dr. (Martin Luther KHng. i

"The' more spiritual messiah, son of David, involved a deeper promise, Dr. Rubenstein explained. "Representing the yearning of the Jewish people for the res- toration of the Garden of Eden, this messiah would put an end to p a i n ,1 guilt, and death.

Christ Disappoints H e added t h a t Jesus Christ dis- appointed Jews locking f o r a messiah because of his attitude t h a t "My kingdom is not one of this world" and because of his de- grading death.

. "Ait best," Dr. Rulbenstein argued, "Jesus was just another Jew.

At worst, Jesus was a Jew who led the world astray."

Upon t h e death of Jesus Dr.

Rulbenstein continued, the path- ways, of Judaism and Christianity diverged. Jewish Pharisees placed faith in the eventual resurrection of the dead while Christian Phar-

isees believed t h a t God h a d already resurrected the dead.

Paul's Conversion

Discussing the conversion of Paul of T a r s u s (St. P a u l ) to Christianity Dr. Rulbenstein said t h a t the cruciiflied Christ was Paul's answer to h i s failure (on the psychological level) of the Jewish law.

"Paul was a hostile inquisitor of Christianity," he explained.

"He fought not against Christ- ians with their opposing olpinion, but against t h a t - s a m e opinion in his own subconscious. H e tried to solve his i n n e r discontent t h r o u g h external measures."

"However," Dr. Rubenstein went on, "Paul's self-division

reached a point where all the m y t h s h e had ¡invented about himself fell apart. Christ's dying m a d e it possible for Paul to suf- fer w i t h Him, thus relieving him of his guilt."

Dr. Rulbenstein t h e n pointed out the m a j o r disagreements between Judaism and Christianity.

One basic rivalry which he cited is the argument over who Is God's favorite child. Another dis- agreement stems from Christian accusations of the Jew as "Christ- Killer."

S t a t i n g his outlook on t h e f u t u r e , Dr. Rubenstein asserted t h a t rivalry is incurable. He concluded: "the conflict between opposing forces within Judeo-Christ-.

ian culture as well a s within the Individual makes f o r a deeper sense of reality."

Dr. Rulbenstelin's visit t o Al- f r e d also included a lecture T h u r s d a y . night on "Psychoana- lysis and Religion" and a talk to t h e existentialism class F r i d a y morning.

Professor Ruchelmlam also made these observations: The average Democrat is very much the New York City politician, youthful, po- litically inexperienced, of lower social status, moves through the -legislature a t a relatively rapid pace, a n d tends to seek a judge- ship as a political plum.

The average Republican comes Dorm a more rural society, is older, h a s more political back- ground and higher social status, stays in the legislature longer, a n d tends to win a n administrative or executive position a s a reward.

Legislative parities not only fail to develop sitaitewide leadership, t h e y undermine "the one office t h a t can pttovide state-iwide leadership, t h e governor."

Professor Ruchelman based his talk on "The Political Life of New York State Legislators," his thesis for the Ph.D. degree received this month f r o m Columbia Uni- versity.

His thesis was based on exten- sive study of the career patterns of m e m b e r s of t h e New York Sitate legislatures of 1931 and 1951. His talk was sponsored by the local chapter of the American Association of University Profes-

"There is evidence t h a t despite t h e existence of a strong two- p a r t y system, the legislative par- ties are failing in an important responsibility: t h e provision of statewide leadership. Instead we find a situation where upstate Re- publicans combat with big-city Democrats.

"The system also undermines t h e one office t h a t can provide statewide leadership, the govern- or. Legislative leaders can resist the governor's stewardship; the best positions sought by the Dem- ocrats are to be found in New York City and these positions are controlled by forces outside the

governor's control.

"As f o r t h e Republicans malap- portionment has assured them of s o m e of the most important positions in the state: formal legislative leadership positions a n d committee chairmanships. T h u s m a n y Republicans are quite con- t e n t to stay right where they a r e a n d become immune to guberna-

torial patronage."

T h e speaker also noted t h a t a large proportion of legislators leave office voluntarily to climb the political ladder and "most of them succeed." H e suggested t h a t the fact many leaive without a battle for renominiation or reelection

"may well indicate t h a t in New York the electoral process as a m e a n s of democratic control h a s its limitations." Even of those de- feated in a n election, more t h a n half continue.

"Many of the lower status Dem- ocrats, using politics for "social climbing' strive for the respecta- bility of judicial office—the m o s t sought-after of political prizes.

This is not surprising. T h e Judic- ial salaries in New York are among t h e highest in the nation and on occasion even exceed those paid on the United States Su- p r e m e Court. Prestige and social s t a t u s also accrue to the office which has the f u r t h e r attraction of offering escape from the disil- lusionment and turmoil of politics."

"In their h a s t e to achieve status, a surprisingly large percent- age of Democrats miss their tar- gets and end their careers in dis- repute," Professor Ruchelman said.

Among t h e 1931 legislators, approximately 13 per c e n t of t h e Democrats had been judged guilty of some kind of disreputable activity as compared to three per cent of the Republicans. In 1951, five per cent for the Democrats surpassed the two and a half per cent tor the Republicans.

Editorial.,.

As we have indicated on so many occasions, we believe that successful completion of the University master plan and de- velopment program will be a majotr step in making Alfred the excellent institution it wants to be.

Last September, when we first commented on the Board of Trustees' report regarding the master plan, we expressed ap- preciation of the imagination and respect for the breadth of view of the ,men who are planning ¡the ¡future |of Alfred Univer- sity. Now our respect ;and admiration ,are not 'diminished but our attitude toward the master plan is (on a more realistic level.

President Drake .acknowledged that certain delays have beset the development program, in a FIAT LUX interview last week. Because ¿tich delays are in reality inevitable, and because we have trust in the good faith of the University planners, we can understand why such delays refuse to dis- courage President Drake.

Yet unlike President Drake, Iwe are unable to say that we are completely ¡satisfied with the progress of the development program.

;

.

iv

! ,

The new University health center which was to have been opened this coming September will probably be delayed for some time after that. The exact length of delay is hard to judge because new probems appear too often before old ones are solved, yet there is no question that progress has been an occasional thing on this building, which was first announc- ed in 1961 and planned for completion in the spring of 1962.

The paew women's dormitory and gymnasium are both supposed to be ready for the beginning ,'of the 1966-67 school year. Clearly neither ¡of these building ,are ,closer than itwo years away.

The preliminary plans for the women's dormitory are be- ing held in abeyance while the University tries to solve the very troublesome problem of the grade oh Pine Hill. But be- cause the dormitory is the most needed of all new buildings, it is our contention that an access road to a possible fraternity row on Pine Hill should be planned around and not before the women 's dormitory.

The gymnasium, which rivals the classroom building for being the biggest project, becomes more and more necessary as ithe quality jof our intercollegiate athletic teams continues to improve. It is discouraging to realize that none of the men who played pn this year's varsity basketball teaml, the best team in our history, ¡are likely to ever ¡play a varsity game in the new gymnasium. |The physical education project also grows in importance as the student body grows and looks for ade- quate, modern recreational facilities. Any delay in a building like the gymnasium is a disappointment.

Of the major initjial projects in the master plan the. class- room and laboratory building, sorely needed by the biology and psychology departments, is the one most likely to be com- pleted by its target; date, Sept., 1967. "We appreciate the ef- forts made here as ¡a continuing indication that the delays which the master plan suffers are not any more liked by the University administration than by the students.

But in light of (the ¡delays in architects' drawings and fi- nally agreed upon ,J>l|ans (and in light of the ¡fact that only

$200,000 was raised from October to the end of February) we cannot report complete satisfaction with the progress of the Alfred University development program.

Question: Do you feel that decreasing the num- ber of Senate represen- tatives will increase its effectiveness?

Louis M. Holleran, freshman, ceramic engineer, Elmira

¡No, mainly (because a larger (body of students would better represent the overall desires of the student body. However, to promote quicker legislation, committees should be appointed to

"push through" important legislation. Such legislation to be sub- ject to a later veto of the "Gener- al Assembly".

Kathleen Rohan, freshman, cer- amic designer, Huntington, L.

I.

Not really. I don't think the n u m b e r of . representatives h a s a n y t h i n g to do with the effective- n e s s of that organization. Rather, it's the quality and amount of w o r k the members a r e willing to do, not the number of people involved.

Russ Gardner, junior, L. A. New Hyde Park.

Not unless the effectiveness of the individual members is in- creased. The numiber of representatives is unimportant if they are truly interested in a more effective student government and not merely in their school records.

Bob Miller, sophmore, L. A. Gar- den City

No, the Student Senate, a most vailuble organization to the stu- d e n t s of Alfred University, would prove to be inefficient without an active participation of the college students. By decreasing the meaiberslhip, activity would certainly become biased, therefore defeating the purpose of our Senate.

Donna Scofield, soph. L. A. Frews- berg.

I t depends on where (the senators feel their duty lies. If they w o r k a s they should, then t h e y a r e there to r e p r e s e n t tlhe dormis.

If they work as independents then it doesn't m a t t e r wihether there a r e five or fifty, it wild be a n inefficient group. The present numiber of senators decreases the amount of work per senator in getting a complete view of the total student 'body.

Robert D. Bressler, soph. L. A.

Englewood Cliffs, N. J.

Since t h e r e are diverse social groups on the AMred campus t h e r e have to oe numerous sen- a t o r s representing them. W e may never know wihat functions these s e n a t o r s are performing but let them all represent—it gives one some sort of blankett security.

A better idea would be to elim- i n a t e the wihiolle ' S e n a t e thus Solving the numerical proWem.

Down-style heads

The FIAT LUX is beginning th is week an experiment with down-style headlines. The use of lower case type for all words In the headline, with the excep- tion of the first word of the first line and all proper nouns, is intencted to make the head- line more readable. The FIAT would welcome any comments about this change, which will probably be permanent.

"You've got to love life to live life and live life to love life."

—Thornton Wilder, "Our Town"

There you have it-rWilder's description of the vicious circle we live in. To put this description yet another way (a way that is more palatable to the college student who based his viewpoints on the premise, "Life is a game") we can say (borrowing a bit from Rabbi Rubenstein as we g o )

:

,

It's all right to play the game as long as you realize that it's a game, and it's all right to realize that it's a game as long as you play the game.

And now, our mass culture example of this circle can adroitly change from a sentimental play such as "Our Town"

to a fast-moving film like "A Hard Day's Night."

# # # # #

If we dismiss for the sake of this discussion, the obvious allegorical themes of "A Hard Day's Night" (apparent even m the title) and instead concentrate on its accurate visual representation of the tempo of our times, we can view it as:

a picture of four young men (played by an equal number of promising young actors) caught up in the Music game. Yet, it is continually apparent to the audience that these young men do not accept the game as reality; they see it for what it is.

Thus for the audience, the picture itself becomes a fast- moving game, filled with striking visual effects and humor- ous non-sequitors. Most impressive, of course, (forming a microcasm for the entire film) is the scene in the field, back- ed up by the sounds of "Can't Buy Me Love," which dem- onstrates the joy of the game of life, showing that: as much enjoyment can be found it putting on one's self as putting on the rest of the world. In fact, to actually enjoy putting on the rest of the world, you also have to be able to put on your- self.

* « * * •

Because of my previous mention of fraternities in this column, I have been labelled "Anti-Fraternity." This is not entirely the case: I do not object to fraternities, I object to those certain members within these organizations, who play the Fraternity game, but who do not realize that it is a game, who instead view their roles therein as the ultimate"

reality.

This ultimate reality viewpoint is, of course, not limited to fraternities. It occurs within all arbitrary groupings of people. Take, for example, the grouping that I am connected with, known as "the Ethnics." Certain "members" of this group have, at times, viewed membership therein as the ultimate—

I have been among them. Thus, when falling into this group- narcissistic orientation, I have been in a state equal to the fraternity members I have objected to.

In short, to paraphrase Rabbi Rubenstein, we all need to play the game. But we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that it is just a game.

St. Pat said to be sick, is old age catching him?

S a i n t Patrick, patron Saint of Ireland and of the Ceramic En- gineers, h a s 'been reported ill. St.

Pat, born a r o u n d tlhe year 389, is now about 15716 years old. For

®oane obscure reason it is believed t h e good Saint is suffering from old age.

T h e Dublin Daily Potato re- cently interviewed St. P a t at his country oastfle I in Limerick. At this time St. P a t was quoted a s saying, "I don'it know ,bout me planned trip to Alfred Mach 19.

'Tis a long way fo a mian o' mu 'Condition ta ihiave ta travel. If only I could find m e good friend P o n c e O' Day Leon."

Since the time of the interview m u c h conjecture h a s been offered a s to ithe state of St. P a t ' s illness. Aiter consultation with the Siaint's personal practitioner, Dr. Ben Moc Oasey, it was found t h a t the Saint might well be suf- f e r i n g f r o m arteri-o'-sohlerosis and his c i r u d a t o r y system might

also have degenerated. Tlhe doctor backed up has statement by saying: "YestenHay I give 'iim a pint o' Scotch a n d it near kilt Mm."

One snialke in the grass bore witness t o the fact t h a t St. P a t appeared to have undergone a diminution of functional activity and had slowed down besides.

A group of leprechauns, working o n shamrocks for t h e conning festivities, was ovenheard discussing the situation. It seemed to be a comimon 'opinion t h a t the old Saint h a s entered a state of se- nescence.

T h e leading '.cthiaun, McGienis, stated: "St. P a t ¡has suffered Changes in a/trophy an* inrvoliu- tions o' the structure o' organs and tissues, 'e is easily fatigued a n d may have a cardiac condition.

It a p p e a r s that St. P a t is looking for a fountain o* youth. W e hope he finds a solution for his problem.

Constitutional revision was called "of primary concern to the Senate" by Bill Vanech earlier this year, but he has evidently had difficulty in communicating the urgency of this concern to the chairman of the constitutional committee, A1 Eisbart, also vice-president of the Senate. For Eisbart has accomplished less than the minimum that has been requested and expected of him: he has not yet even formulated all of the minor technical changes and deletions so obviously needed in the constitution.

Eisbart had announced that a completed revised consti- tution would be presented to the Senate two weeks ago. How- ever, as was reported in last week's FIAT, neither Eis- bart nor the constitution was present. He later explained that he had not finished the revision because he thoughtf'he might obtain suggestions from the College Center of the Finger Lakes meeting on constitutional revision. However, in the Senate report on this meeting there was no mention of such a discussion.

According to Eisbart, to revise the constitution now as he has been directed is not worth the effort it entails. For he feels that ultimately an entirely new form of student govern- ment will be acceptable to the student body, and at that time a new consitution will be necessary. This is, therefore, one of his justifications for not fully performing his duties.

It is commendable that Eisbart has thought to plan for the future; but in planning for the future, he has ignored the present needs of the Senate. The Senate is laboring under an outdated constitution, and while most of the revisions needed are minor, they istill should |be made. And it ¡certainly should not have taken Eisbart this long to make them.

IDU-Sftü-i

by Karlese "Zimmer When I was a kid, things were simple. "When I saw a bird

it was a robin, and a tree was for climbing. And when we went to the carnival, there was a carousel, flashing red and yellow, joyous in its wild music. Horses, bears, lions, and swans, it was a kid's beautiful toy, worth waiting a multitude of Sundays for. And I remembered.

A few weeks ago, John Wood, of the design department, presented a series of three art films. All deserve praise, one merits comment. Whirl-a-gig.

It began with the same flashing color, the same wild mus- ic: but the music was distorted to something beyond joy—

angry noise? Catch a moving object, turn it back to wood, make the funny band leader into a stiff leering gargoyle. You become a part of their tension, the strain of the rein and eyes staring as they beat their steady path . . . and all at once you are not above them byit below.

Suddenly the childish toy becomes an agonizing, endless struggle, faster and faster, louder and louder. The movie catches you as it caught its victims. And I guess I don't want to remember the carousel anymore.

In all fairness I took a survey to test the effect of the film on the group, and to my astonishment, very few pf them were disturbed by what, to me, seemed so apparent. Perhaps it is not important to read meaning into a visual art form.

Perhaps it is essential to study the effects of workability alone, but confronted with the statement it obviously makes, I can only accept it as a dangerous and incongrous alliance of a purely adult view of a carousel, the never ending cycle;

with the child's merry-go-round. And I wonder why the title Whirl-a-gig seems to agree and no one was aware . . .

* # # # 4P

After much debate, my editor-in-chief decided that I could in fact entitle by column "Wu-Shih" if I so desir- ed. Now I am placed in the awkward position of having to ex- plain my choice.

If I begin by stating "Wu-Shih" means Nothing Special, it is equivalent to admitting that my column isn't worth read- ing. Another approach, "Wu-Shih" means simplicity. So what?

Better to tell you that "Wu-Shih" does in fact mean nothing special and I chose it because everything else in this paper is special. It is an accepted premise that a thing can only be defined in terms of its opposite. Good, bad, weak, strong.

Thus you see the purpose of my column . . . in being nothing special it defines the Fiat Lux as something special and is in turn defined.

Letter to the Editor

Review series continued with Besemer interview

by Warren Savin

OUT story so fair: As you re- mamiber, last Week Anselm Pa/r- latore told me that I should contact Gail Besemer if I wanted a n y information, concerning the

•new print reproduction system 'being used by T(he Alfred Review.

Therefore, realizing that in the past one complain a g a i n s t 'the Review 'has been its failure to give good reproductions of certain visual works, and realizing t h a t this complaint may now veny well not hold, I set out to get the complete stony via an interview with Miiss Besemer.

T h e first ipcrdblem I came up against was fchie locating of Miss.

Besemer. After looking in the Center, the Annex, etc., I decided to try the Pot Shop.

I entered the Pot Shop amd

•there she wias, an elegant coun- tenance sihining out of the mist of clay dust, weM-dressed, white-

gloved, sunaiM glistening ceramic chandeliers beautifully dangling from each ear lobe. I walked up to her and asked, "Ha<ve you seen Gail?" Sihe pointed to something whl'ch, uipon second glance, I rec-

ognized as a oiay spattered girl.

''Excuse me," I s-aiid.

"Yes?" was her first comiment.

"I'm from tha FIAT. Parlatore told me that you could fill me in

on the details of the new reproduction system being used by t h e Alfred Review."

"Yes. WeW, thOs yeair we are utiliaing a method of reproduction known as photo engraved off-set.

Tlhis willl girve us near perfect repnoduotfoBis."

And as I was walking away, she said over her shoulder, "By the way, don't fonigeV to mention in your article what the Review box numbers are, so t h a t contrib- utors will know where to send their works.".

Civ course disappoints student

FIAT LUX

March 9, 1965 Alfred, New York

5 To the editor of the Fiat Lux:

The topic of this letter is one which I am sure has appeared many times in this paper and which will no doubt appear on its pages in the future: that of the conducting of the Civilization 101-102 course.

There have been many complaints brought to my attention as to the merits or lack of same of the civilization course. People do not like to get up before 8 a.m., and walk all the way across the campus to a poorly heated building to listen to often boring lec- tures, and neither do I. These complaints however, though valid, are trivial and do not at all strike at the heart of the -problem. This problem, as it appears to me from my own ex- perience and conversations with others, is that the English teachers, in general do not know what goes oil in the history lectures.

A typical English period begins with the professor spending 20 minutes or so trying to find out what he is supposed to discuss that day. After having wasted this large por- tion of time the teacher tries to intelligently discuss a lecture which he has not attended on a topic which often is not prepared for.

After about 40 minutes of fumbling through history, which he may know little about, the instructor has ten minutes left for English, that is, simply teaching the students how to write coherently In ten minutes a day, three times a week, one can see no obstacle to his completion of such a mean task.

The combination of history and English has its advantages and disadvantages, but one cannot expect an English teacher to in- struct a class in Greek history and English composition in 50 minutes. If this seems an impossible task then it is even more impos- sible to expect him to competently carry on these two subjects when lie is almost com- pletely unprepared in one of them.

I would not put the blame on the Eng- lish teachers, for, if I did not have to go to civ lectures I probably wouldn't either. It is one of my proposals that the teachers of civ- ilization English course be required to attend history lectures.

One may call this request insolent, and may very well be right in doing so, but if we must be subjected to learning that is poured into us in civ lectures, how can our teachers whose job it is to clarify these lectures, suc- ceed, if they have not attended them. If Tt seems unfair to ask the instructors to put themselves out to such a degree, I say that it is no less fair than asking the students to do the same.

Another humble proposal which I would like to advance is that teachers, in the pro-

cess of proctoring civilization hourlies should take the tests themselves. On observing what a truly short time 50 minutes is to make an outline, write an essay on an often times im- possible topic, and proofread it, the marking systems of the individual teachers might be- come more valid and objective. I also feel it would be profitable if the teachers would oc- casionally take a history quiz. If they found themselves confronted with some of the per- fectly ambiguous true-false questions on those tests they might truly realize what we have to put up with.

I would never stand for the abolishment of the civilization course at Alfred, for I feel it does have its merits; one being its fine reading list, but I feel that in order for this course to reach its potential, some change as to the awareness of the teachers of the dual nature of the course, is necessary.

My intention in writing this letter is not merely to blast the way the civilization course is conducted. I am trying to get at a deeper and more important problem facing Alfred.

People here, it seems to me, do not get ex- cited.

This seems like a stupid thing to com- plain about, but, to use a cliché, the student apathy is so great at this school that one finds few people that have a great interest in anything. Nobody is really bugged about any- thing. I'd like to have somebody run up to me some day and say, I dig Robert W. Service.

What do you think of him!" Or I'd like to hear somebody say they like crocheting, or making paper dolls, or listening to Little Anthony and The Imperials records, or any- thing like that.

If somebody brought up a pet peeve pud really wanted to have a knock-down-and- drag-out fight over it, I'd say there were people around here that wanted to learn. It may sound funny, but that's how I see it.

For lack of a better topic to draw some dis- cussion on I chose the running of the civili- zation course.

It seems to me that this topic shouldn't draw too much argument from the student, but it may draw some cries from the faculty.

Any members of the student body or faculty who are aroused by this topic, either pro or con, are entreated to approach me personally, or through the mail, and I will, if possible, discuss this topic with them. If anyone reàd"

ing this letter has an extreme interest in any- thing and is looking for someone to tell it to, or discuss it with, I hope he will contact me.

1 am optimistically hoping to get some re- ponse to this letter, whether it he dealing with civilization, or anything else.

T h e r e was a question of whether or not ecclesiastical authority

A key dimension of any job is the responsibility involved. Graduates who join Ford Motor Com- pany find the opportunity to accept responsibility early in their careers. The earlier the better. How- ever, we know the transition from the academic world to the business world requires training.

Scholastic achievements must be complemented by a solid understanding of the practical, day-to-day aspects of the business. That is the most direct route to accomplishment.

Stephen Jaeger, of the Ford Division's Milwaukee District Sales Office, is a good example of how it works.'His first assignment, in January, 1963, was in the Administrative Department where he had the opportunity to become familiar with procedures and communications between dealerships and the District Office. In four months he moved ahead to the Sales Plan- ning and Analysis Department as an analyst. He studied dealerships in terms of sales history, market penetration and potentials, and model mix.

This information was then incorporated into master plans for the District.

In March, 1964, he was promoted to Zone Manager—-working directly with 19 dealers as a consultant on all phases of their complex operations. This involves such areas as sales, finance, advertising, customer relations and business management. Responsible job? You bet it is—especially for a man not yet 25 years old. Over one million dollars in retail sales, annually, are involved in just one dealership Steve contacts.

As a growth company in a growth industry, Ford Motor Company offers an exceptionally wide spectrum of job opportunities. The chances are good that openings exist in your field of interest. See our representative when he visits your campus. We are looking for men who want responsibility—

and will be ready for it when it comes.
