Alfred University was jolted last week by the dismissal of ten students after they were implicated in an investigation into the use of marijuana on and bff the campus.

One of the dismissed stuldents, a freshman woman, was arrested by N e w York State Police Friday. Marijuana seeds were found in her dormitory room earlier in the week. The student was in her room when the search was made.

Charged with illegal possession of narcotics, the first narcotics case in Allegany County in recent years, the girl pleadeid not guilt before Alfred Village Police Justice Eugene T. V a n Horn. She was released in $250 bail and the case was held over to the M a y grand jury on motion of District Attor- ney Edward F . Mergler.

Although there had been rumors of the presence of mari- juana for some time, confirmation of the situation brought statements of shock, regret, and disappointment from Univer- sity officials, faculty anki students. The atmosphere on the campus was subdued at the end of the week.

First incident

This is the first time there has

<been a narcotics problem at Al- fred. Also, University officials believe it Is the itasit time as m a n y as ten students were dismissed for involvement in the same problem.

T h e situation became public Thursday and was acknowledged

•by University officials. T h e Uni- versity had begun talking action Wednesday after members of the State Bureau of Criminal Investi- gation (BOI) presented the Uni- versity with a formal report of the use of nuairtjuaaua.

T h e B O I investigation was con- ducted by Senior Investigator Raymond Slade and investigator Robert Jackson. T h e probe had 'been underway Cor about one (month before the BCX and Univer- sity officials moved last week.

T h e original impetus tor the investigation w a s a report to the B O I from the Federal Narcotics Bureau in Buffalo.

Individuals may only be arrested if narcotics are found in their possession or if they are known to have sold or provided the drug to other individuals. T h e investigation in Alfred has not turned up anyone known to be supplying the marijuana.

Conclusive evidence T h e dismissal action taken by the University was done on the basis of the B d report which contained "true, thorough, conclusive evidence," said Paul F.

Powers, dean of students. " T h e University acted in giood faith on evidence turned over to us by the

Of the students dismissed there were some expulsions and some suspensions. However, con-

clusive data of this was not available.

T h e University is also with- holding the naanes of the involved students tor their protection.

T h e dismissed students include m e n and w o m e n and represenjta-

tives of every academic cliass, freshman through senior. T h e dismissed students are tram a wide variety of geographic areas.

President Drake said several of the students had been using marijuana while in high school. H e Said there w a s no way of knowing if a prospective student has experimented with narcotics.

" W e will take all necessary steps to eliminate this pnoHtam,"

said President Drake. "This is a situation which has occurred on tmany other college campuses and is regrettable for the University and the involved students. How- ever, the overwhelming majority of Alfred students are not in- olved nor were aware of the use of marijuana," he said.

Powers Said ihe University will be more alemt to the use of narcotics in the future. Pow- ers denied reports circulated earlier in the w e e k that faculty members were named by the BOI.

Guest editorial

Marijuana at Alfred

It is illegal to possess, sell or grow marijuana. It has been demonstrated by criminal experts and medical research that the use of marijuana is destructive to the user's health and a likely first step to life-long narcotics addiction. Under these circumstances it is entirely logical and reasonable that the University took steps to dismiss all the students impli- cated in the recent investigation by the N e w York State Bu- reau of Criminal Investigation.

Two very competent investigators, Raymond Slade and Robert Jackson, turned conclusive evidence of the involve- ment of ten students in the use of marijuana over to Univer- Bity officials. The University action was taken reasonably and there is no reason to believe any of the ten students dismissed from school was innocent of the charges upon which Univer- sisty dismissal was based.

President Drake, Dean Powers and Proctor Meacham, along with the other administrators involved in the action, felt compassion for the dismissed students and their families.

However these men realized full well that under no circum- stances could the innocent students or good name of Alfred University be hurt through inaction on the part of the admin- istration. Thus the dismissals. There is justification in the very nature of the offense.

Buffi ironically there is no one who would suggest that all the involved students are fundamentally bad people. This is certainly not the case. But where the students were not evil they were foolish. They certainly did not act in ignorance of the importance of their offense and as much as it hurts to see these people go through the torture of interrogation and dismissial there was no valid alternative. A n d many of them realized this.

Moreover at least three of the dismissed students said for the public record that they had been treated fairly and honorably by the B C I men and University officials.' This is entirely appropriate; to treat them any other way would deny their dignity and basic goodness. These are not hardened criminals. They are young people who acted in the context of

a morally deficient society and understanding is more needed

than condemnation.

It is distressing that this problem has come to Alfred.

But perhaps with the widespread use of narcotics it was in- evitable that Alfred would have its problem. It is important that the problem be eliminated and the University is acting from this position.

But where there is guilt there are degrees of guilt. There can be no doubt that" certain of the students involved had an important role in the procurement and distribution of the drugs. Others were only slightly involved through one or two smoking experiences. It is here that the line must be drawn between suspension and expulsion; There were some bad apples in the lot and they must be removed and ¡done away with. But those students who made an unfortunate unthink- ing mistake deserve a second chance. These latter students should be suspended with the opportunity to return to the University next fall. They can still gain from an Alfred Uni- versity education and can still do good for the University.

It is sad that this entire incident has taken place. It is sad for the students and their families and it is sad for the University. However to be melodramatic about the impact of this entire incident is unnecessary. Alfred University is a good institution with good stuldents and all would do well to get about the business of education.

As unpleasant as the past week has been it is part of that education. Let us not miss the lesson.

ALFRED UNIVERSITY'S STUDENT NEWSPAPER

A member of tbe United States Student Press Association

Published erery Tuesday of the school year by a student staff. Entered as second class matter Oct 8, 1918, at the Post Office In Alfred, New York, under Act af March 6, 1879.

This issue of the FIAT LUX was prepared under the direction of Howard G. Paster because Miss Pickering was out of town during the past week.

s The Birthday Party' praised[

analogy to Kafka's 'Trial' seen

MAT ^{L U X}

2 Alfred, New York March 15, 1966

by John Lucadamo

The Birthday Party, a play In three acts by Harold Pinter was presented (by the Footlight Club at Alumni Hall Friday and Sat- urday evenings. The play was

•directed by Prof. C. Duryea Smith, III. Professor Smith was assis- ted by Christine Babiuk and Prof. Ronald M. Brown who was technical director of thie production.

The set was designed by Bryn Mauley, an instructor in the art department, and was striking because of the stark lines and bold colors. If the set were re- duced to two dimensions, it would be similar to 'one of Man- ley's camivasiseis. Charles DiCos- tanzo's design for the (posters and programs utilized the ibroken toy drum and was quite effective.

The play lis concerned with the downfall of Stanley as brought about by th.e "organization.".1

Stanley is a former concert pian- ist who has sought refuge from society in the boarding house owned by Meg and Petey. T h e old couple like all the other characters are flat.

In Meg and Petey's case, for example, they are only seen' over the breakfast table playing the archetypal roles of "husband and Wife discussing inanities over a

•bowl of cornflakes. Lulu, the dumib blond from next door, is also flat. She is seen being sedu-

ced by or seducing Goldbeirg ami this is the extent of her character.

T h e last two characters of the drama are Goldberg and McCann.

They represent the material and

» ¡brutality aspects of society and also remind, one of the agents ttn Kafka's The Trial. Indeed, the entire play in reminiscent^ of the novel except, that Stanley knows who his enemies are. This know- ledge, however, does not aid him.

Furthermore, Pinter acknowled- ges this relationship . to .Kafka :. as shown by this paraphrase ot a

Letter

Absence of dignify **in *Light' alleged**

T o the Editor of the Fiat Lux:

T o the author of that lovely letter appearing m the March 8 issue of tihe Fiat (iPaflil Fr&rucy):

I wonder if you might clarify any letter in the next issue of

the Fiat for m e since you seem to be able to do a lot of clarify- ing but not too much clear think ing in your own letter.

Just what purpose aire you try- ing to serve by your very few enlightening words lin your letter? Are you stating that the ideals in Mr. Gellady's letter are (false, or that Mr. Gellady is that type of person who (has nothing .better to do than to sit down and compose a nice long letter with big words just because he Simply wants to (be accused of sland/ering or because he wants to imply that Mr. Chap- pell is a hypocrite?

Hey, go back about 100 _ years and stay there along with Mr.

Ohiappell and his "good news"

newspaper. Again, if you are the enlightened student you seem to be by knowing so much about The Dark and its ipolicy. Its level of importance, its standards, its ihyproerlsy, or whatever it 4s temper-tantruming about, I'm sure that you could concede that the majority, not all, of what Mr. Chappell is printing Is hard- ly on a level of importance com- tparalble to any issues concerning any person witfh. self-respect and most Important, dignity.

Sincerely yourself, N a m e withheld

David Copley (I.) and Peter Topper (partly hidden) restrain Peter Spar as he tries to kill Ellen Winters in a scene from " T h e Birthday . P a r t y ' 'which was presented toy the Footlight Club Friday and Saturday nights. '•»• .• . ;- •, ,

portion of his discussion about his play: nothing is right; nothing is wrong; nothing is. true;

nothing ' ds false.

In the second act Pinter's ideas are brought out during the scene in which Goldberg and MoCann press Stanley for answers to their questions. This particular scene

is moving and is the prelude to Stanley's breakdown. Society has found Stanley guilty of being creative and different and has sentenced- him. to conformity.

Although Stanley , Is alive at the end of the jplay, he is spir- itually dead: the unkempt artist has ¡been molded Into a "model

! citizen" by the external forces of society. T h e viewer feels the tragedy a n d the helplessness in this production.

Friday evening this writer was a part of the small but res- ponsive audience.

The lead-in intermission music was "Some Enchanted Evening"

from South Pacific, and after the second act the audience sensed the irony of the song: the evening was enchanted but not with love or bells or happiness.

David Perlstein and Ellen Win- tiers lhad difficult roles in attemp- ting to play a sixty year old couple. Perlstein's deli b e r a t e

slowness came off quite well, but Miss Winters' performance was not as good. She .¡had little stage presence and moved too quickly for a sixty year old.

Her ^peaking voice, however, was very good.

Peter Spar was magnificent.

His interpretation of Stanley was deeply moving and was done impeccably well. This writer felt deeply involved in Stanley's tragedy because of Spar's acting.

Ellen Gertz as Lulu was good.

H e r (performance as the dumb ' blond was. thoroughly enjoyable;.

David Copley (Goldberg) over- shadowed Richard Topper (Mcr Cann) ott stage. Where Copley was dynamic and at ease, Top- per was static and ill at ease.

Copley came off as the domina- ting character of the play largely because of his talent. Together, they seemed very much like two of Kafka's charactrs. T h e inquis- ition scene with Spar was done excellently.

In the main this production

•was done very well. One com- plaint which seemed' prevalent was the poor quality of the make- up. Nevertheless, Messrs. Smith and Brown and everyone involved are . to ¡be. congratulated for a fine job.

The Company's first engine, the Wasp, took to the air on May 5, 1926. Within a year the Wasp set its first world record and went on to smash existing records and set standards for both land and seaplanes for years to come, carrying airframes and pilots higher, farther, and faster than they had ever gone before.

In recent years, planes powered by Pratt

& Whitney Aircraft have gone on to set new standards of performance in much the same way as the Wasp had done in the 1920's. The 727 and DC-9 are indicative of the new family of short-to-medium range jetliners which are powered by the highly successful JT8D turbofan. Examples of current military utilizations are the J58- powered Mach 3 YF-12A which recently established four world aviation records and the advanced TF30-powered F - l l l variable- geometry fighter aircraft.

Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra offers marvelous performance

by David Miller The Cincinnati Symphony Or- chestra, under the joint auspices of the N e w York State Cultural Ooaincil of the Arts and the Al- fred University Cultural Pro- grams Ooumoil, perfflanmed a tot- ally superb concert at the Men's Gymnasium last Tuesday.

significant points oonr cerning this performance demand attention: 1) tihe fomrualt of the program and 2) the magmdlffioeiut rapport between the conductor, Max Rjudolif, and his nruiakjiams.

Ordinarily, compositions from the Baroque Period or Classical Period set the initial tone of symphonic concerts. Selections from these two perods induce immediate audience attention and eamprehemsi on.

Instead of moving from the simple to the complex, however,

Rudolf reversed the procedure by dropping into the discordant rhythmically complex contemp- lorairy music of Peter Mennin andl Bela Bartok, then working his way back to the Romantic Period through the works oB Richard Strauss and Johannes Brahms.

As the program progressed, the audience was Captured by the increasing lushness and full- ness of sounds as compared to the earlier orchestral starkness evidenced by string (pizzicato, wali'ing ibirass, and sundry other special effects.

The spontaneous applause at

•the conclusion of Brahms' Sym- phony No. 4, as well as the standing ovation following the encore, the final scene from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, ex- emplified the almost magical

(power the orchestra held over the audience.

With a minimal amount of body motion (at least cam- pared to Leonard Bernstein ), M a x Rudolf seemed to extract the ultimate from his musicians.

T h e mere rolling oil his fist pro- duced crescendo, while the wig- gling of ihlis fingers induced pi- anissimo. Precision, inculcated by /a masterful conductor, charac- terized the entire concert.

Lorin Hollander's marvelous performance of Richard Strauss' Burleske for Piano and' Orches- tra cannot .be overlooked. Hol- lander displayed both delicacy (and virulence at the keyboard during this most difficult num- ber, once discarded by Von Bu- low as ibeing "unplayable."

Finally, gratitude must go to our Cultural Council for bring- ing music of this caliber to our cam|pus. I lam sure that even the notorious student critics were finally able to enjoy a few hours of bliss.
