Admiiiistration Release Re views 1957 Statement
On several occasions it has been pointed out that the facul- ties and administrative officers, of Alfred University are con- cerned about the presence of discriminatory membership clauses In the constitutions and by-laws of several campus fraternities.
We believe that such clauses are contrary to the democratic principles upon which the University was founded and is main- tained.
A study of this problem was initiated during the college year 1956-57 and a statement of policy was announced on May
10,1957. This included a pledge to review the matter in 1958-59.
On the basis of correspondence with both national and local fraternity officers it is quite clear that progress is being made.
Everyone concerned is acutely aware of the problem, and steps are being taken toward a proper solution.
It is our opinion that the problem can best be solved through action taken by the fraternities themselves. It should be clearly understood, however, that discriminatory clauses must be elim- inated. This does not mèan that the University intends to inter- fere with the right of a fraternity to sèìect its own members.
The University is confident that this problem will be re- solved within a reasonable périod of time.
The matter will be reviewed annually by appropriate Uni- versity officers.

University Tuition Increase to Be Operative Next September
The University trustees have au- thorized an increase in tuition from $4S0 to $500 per semester ef- fective with the opening of the 1959-60 college year on September 14, 1969, President M. E. Drake has announced.
"Salary increases for faculty a/nd staff and the higher cost of every- thing needed in our operation have created a situation In which' it is impossible to' 'balance the budget without additional income," he ex- plained. It was therefore necessary to raibe tuition.
Tuition paid by Alfred students cbvers only sixty percent of the actual cost of their education. The
Tentative Plans Are Made For Apr;il Spanish Week Activities
ATJ students observing the unu- sual posters soon to be placed about t h campus will notice a little Span- ish culture knocking at their back- door. '
El Centre Iberamericano is spon- soring Spanish week April 11
•through 17. A week of varied pro- grams is being planned toy t h e club members to help rarther an under-
standing of the Spanish culture.
April 11 the movie "Bread and Wine" will be shown. There will also be a radio program in which AU students from Spanish coun- tries will participate in the discus- sion of "the truth of Latin Ameri- can countries as seen by their resi- dents."
Another feature of the week is Dr. Ray Wingate's playing of noted Spanish music on the carillon.
Included in the program are a number of films, slides and speak-
ers. There wil also be a Spanish crossword puzzle contest. Prizes -will be awarded t h e winners.
During the week, an exhibition of Spanish a r t work and pictures -will be displayed In the library.
Oommlttes for the week's activi- ties are Dick Bernstein, advertis- ing; Bill Taft, exhibitions! Juana Turk el, correspondence and Max Sluchak, planning.
differenc between tuition and cost is made up out of income from endowment and gifts received from alumni, friends, corporations and foundations.
Other privately-endowed schools also are raising tuitions next year, Drake »aid, and "Alfred's rate will still be moderate as compared with other institutions of equal rank."
Total lVupiber of ti Books Is Record
Herrick Memorial Library added 3918*2, books to its collection during 1958. This brought/ the total num- ber of 'books in the library at the end of December to 89,903.
The number of books added in 1958 was the greatest added in a single year in the history of the library. Some of the increase was due .to moving books from depart- mental libraries in Kenyon Hall to the Herrick Library. However, the increase was due mainly to the large number,of bopks given to the library by faculty members, alum- ni and friends of AU.

New Magazine Will Feature A.U. Work
A host of Alfred students and alumni will be represented in the first issue of "statements," a new magazine of poetry and art, due to appear soon on campus.
According to editor Marvin Bell, who graduated from Alfred in June, 1958, the initial issue of "state- ment" Is expected off the press sometime this week.
Approximately a dozen present and former Alfredians have contri- buted graphic and poetic state- ments to the magazine. Included in this list are poems by Charles Froome and Lewis Carson, and gra- phic works by John Wood, Arthur Handy and Judith Lerner.
A.U. Student Group Visits Albany for Political Information Program Tour
Yesterday and today, five mem- bers of the student body have been in Albany participating in the pro- gram of The Albany Office of Po- litical Information and Student Or- ientation.
Those attending are Rhonda Shaner and Rosemary McGuire who were chosen because of their con- tributions during the past guber- natorial election of November 4 to Democratic party work. Mike Jeffey and Lou Ecker were chosen because of their work during the same election for the Republican
party. The fifth member of th«
group is Judy Fairbanks who as the non-padtisan representative^ was chosen on the basis of her Wash- ington semester work.
The Office, which is a project of the upstate affiliate of the New York State Political Clearing House has arranged a series of tours and interviews for the visiting stu- dents. The Alfred contingent is visiting the offices of the gover- nor, the majority and minority leaders of the senate, and the ma- jority and minority speakers of the assembly.
They are also sitting in on ses- sions of both houses as well as various committee ¡hearings. Dr.
Engelmann, who is in charge of the group, stated that, "while the chance of a conference with the governor was not too likely, cer- tainly interviews should be obtain- ed with several leading figures."
The trip this year is being fi- nanced by the Ford Foundation.
Although plians are in the format tive stage, it is possible that next year the trip may be made avail- able to all those who are interest- ed in going at their own expense.
Nathan Lyons, associate, editor of "Image," who recently exhibit- ed photograprs in the George East- man House and the Albright Art Gallery, has contributed a cover image, as well as a poem. Walter Chapppell, curator of exhibits at the Eastman House, poet, painter, musician and photographer, h a s contributed poetic and graphic statements. Mr. Chappell recently exhibited photographs in the Simith- sonian Institute, in Washington, D.C. He is the author of "Gestures of Infinity" and "Logues and Glyphs."
"Taleat from Rochester and Syra- cuse, as well as Alfred, is repre- sented in this first issue of "state- ments," says Bell, former FIAT edi- tor. "Nevertheless, we anticipate expansion after the initial issue.
W e will draw most of our material from somewhere other than Alfred.
"Statements," say the editors,
"is not foremost a magazine of po- etry. Nor do the graphic statements serve as illustrations in any way.
The magazine is not Beat, not Zen, nor any subscription a t all. It is a manifesto, a technical exer- cise, or a platform for 'mantes.'
"The magazine is aimed at a
«ollege-level audience, and we want to see what can be done within narrow limits before going farther.
There will be nothing limited about distribution, even on the first Is- sue. The magazine will be distri- buted through bookstores and cam- pus representatives.
From the Editors . . .
Day of Decision . . .
Representative, responsible, student government can result only when the entire student body has exercised its right—and its obligation—to vote. All too often in the past, we have heard complaints by students that attest to the low percentage of vot- ers in campus elections.
Too often, also, have officers been elected by less than half of those eligible to vote for that particular office. Progress and improvement in campus government can come about only if the entire campus body takes the time and thought to vote.
It is when voter apathy occurs that the machinery of effi- cient student government begins to break down. This results, un- fortunately, in ever increasing apathy, arising from the degenera- tion of the government. In order to guarantee that the campus Btudent government exists de jure, and aS a product of effective student opinion, the individual student must take positive ac- tion. In this case it is to become acquainted with the candidates and to vote!
Student government becomes a mere farce when those in office have been placed tihere by a minority of the campus population. The strengthening of student government into some- thing valuable and meaningful can be attempted only if there is a genuine awareness on the part of the student body that such matters are important and warrant attention.
If this is true, then it would appear to us that a campus re- fusing to act with a positiyeness assuring to its leaders that Btudent government is indeed necessary, is asserting that student government is superfluous.
The decision can be made rather easily . . .
The Origin . . .
On May 14, 1957, the FIAT printed an administrative state- ment (of May 10) which read as follows:
The faculty and administration of Alfred University are opposed to discriminatory classes' which control fraternity membership. While we will Uphold the right of fraternities to select their own members, we are on record as opposing dis-
f juc "WT
criminatory • clauses which prejuMce a Student before his ar- rival on our. iainpus, .. •>.<
It is our considered judgment that a student should be accepted or. rejected fpr fraternity membership solely on his in- dividual merits rather than on the basis of race, religion or color. It is expected thatvb\,fraterifaiesron the Alfred Univer- sity campus will work toward the 'elimination of discriminatory clauses through negotiations with national officers and local advisory groups.
The faculty and administration of Alfred University is vitally concerned about the progress made toward the solution of this problem and will review the matter again during the College year 1958-1959.
During the 1956-57 acaremic year, there was on campus agitation concerning the problems that are touched in the above statement.
During the 1956-57 academic year, there arose on campus agitation concerning the problems that are touched upon in the above statement.
This agitation took concrete form in a series of meetings devoted to discussions of the possible deleterious effects of such clauses.
A week after the publishing of the administrative statement, the FIAT LUX printed an "extra" (the May 14th issue was origi- nally designated to be the last of the school year). The purpose of this extra issue was to present campus-wide opinion—pro and con—concerning the text of the administrative policy as set down in the May 10 statement.
As stated in the administrative policy, the faculty and ad- ministration of Alfred University were to "review the matter again during the college year 1958-1959."
Thus, the statement on page one refers to the fruits of this review.
Next week's issue of the FIAT will include editorial com- ment concerning the implications arising from this statement and the problems it both creates and attempts to alleviate.

OPEN LETTER TO THE MATERIALISTS:
ON BOTH SIDE8 This reader was greatly impress- ed by t h e letter, printed in t h e March 3rd issue of the Fiat, dealing with the existence of t h e compul- sory R. O. T. C. prograni. In compar- ison with other statemens from, t h e august Student Senate,- this one was more eloquent, If not less mis- leading. My congratulations a r e ex- tended to Mr. Völlers for his some- what subtle statement of Sensale values.
In his discussion of why our au- gust Senate refuses to baick those s a p s at Rutgers, Mr. Völlers makes some significant points. Thus, to those who say a compulsory R.O.
T.C. program is out of spirit with our educational and presumably so- cial system, he points out that what we need is discipline! Obvi- ously, he feels that too many of us are smoking Viceroys. WferfU w<&
need is to be forced to go to ¿lass- es, polish our outmoded buttons (with spit if necessary), say "yes sir" with vigor, and affirm with all of the certainty of a Prussian Junker, t h a t the U.S. Army don't retreat.
Mr. Völlers goes on to point out t h a t , "It (the compulsory military program) also takes the edge off the cynicism and anti-militarism of college students by fostering a pride in their own skills and an appreciation of a vital part of t h e American way of life." Come now, Mr. Völlers, do you really want us to believe that you feel we should develop a pride in our skills — with machine guns, hand grenades, etc? Is this the vital part of Ameri- can life? Are we cynics if we dis- like the business of killing? Or do we pick up these weapons reluct- tantly, with a n awareness that they are not fundamentally in keeping with the democratic spirit; and in fact only pick them up because we know that we must. (In order to protect our society from precisely those who do t a k e pride in their ability to destroy).
So much for point number one.
Mr. Völlers is obviously .ill at ease' with these knotty philosophical5
problems. He gets down to business in his second' point. Here h e main- tains, that a f t e r all guys, these two years are going to help you get ahead later o n . ' " - . . . it has been proved t h a t those with this train- ing achieve higher rank in' the long run and have an edge in com- petition for Officers' Training School." So you see everything has its utilitarian value!
I n his third point, he really gets down to brass tacks or shall, we say dollar bills. Thus the ROTC program provides federal revenue for the school and therefore to all
®f us. Well well, speak of material- ists!
It seems to this writer that those who oppose the ROTC program can find no greater comfort than that provided for them by Mr. Völl- ers. Simply, the anti-ROTC group maintains that the program doesn't offer us anything and Mr. Völlers argues that it does. Their concep- tion of t h e ROTC program is essen-
tially identical—a materialistic, egotistical one, Neither considers those arguments that might form a moral basis for the ROTC program
—the obligation t h a t each of us owes to such corny things as the preservation of our freedom, our democracy and our Christian ideals personified in the sanctity of life.
And moreover, the obligation that each of us owes to the ones who died sometimes valiantly and al- ways with blood on the beaches of Salerno, Normandy and T a r a w a fighting (we hope) for just those values. One wonders if the ROTC program has neglected to teach Mr. 'Vollers and perhaps the male student body at large just what we're fighting for anyway.
Stan Moskowitz
To the Editor:
Compulsory military training on the Alfred campus is h e r e t o stay, a t least for a number of years to come. The University is deriving too many financial benefits to dis- continue its ROTC program.
There are many who feel that the compulsory program ha* its place on a college campus. I am willing to argue this point. How- ever, my quarrel here la with Joseph Voders' letter in the last issue of the FIAT. I was exasperat- ed, as I'm sure many others on campus must have been, by Its complete lack of logic. Let's look at it for a minute.
First, he states t h a t ROTC pro- vides 'liscipline of mind' and body
"something that is very much lack- ing in modern society." Is h e ser- ious? I could derive the same dis- cipline of body by walking up and back from my a p a r t m e n t to the Union, or even to the library for t h a t matter. And to make it even more like ROTC, I could carry nine pounds of books on my shoulder.
As for disciplining one's mind, doesn't study for any course pro- vide the same discipline? Or is it accepting demerits with a smile t h a t is meant?
Mr. Vollers also s t a t e s that .a compulsory military program retakes the edge off the cynicism
and anti-militarism of college stu- dents by fostering a real pride in their own skills and an apprecia- tion of a vital part of the Ameri- can way of life." I'm not so ignor- ant that I would suggest that we disband our armies, but does this statement mean that militarism is a vital part of American life? If Vollers had listened in on fresh- men discussing ROTC, especially before a mass drill, he wouldn't make the comment about cynicism.
And these skills he speaks of?
Marching? Disassembling the M-1?
What's wrong with swimming or learning to handle laboratory equipment?
Next Mr. Vollers talks about the long range benefits for college graduates who enter the Armed Forces as enlisted men. He seems to want us to Infer that after only two years of ROTC the majority of these men receive benefits in the long run. Higher rank for example.
What's the "long run?" Ten years?
And how many graduates attend Officers' Candidate School? It's my opinion only a minority of draftees receive any benefits at all. (I've alreaedy forgotten nearly all I ever learned and I'm sure that the army will refresh my memory very quickly when I am drafted.) If I
am wrong, Mr. Vollers, present some statistical evidence to sup- port your point of view.
T h e Student Senate admits t h a t
"perhaps . . . individual p r o t e s t s are justified for a particular situa- tion." Alright, what do we do for the student who is getting a r a w deal? If this unteoncern for t h e plight of the individual doesn't
"stultify individualism and f r e e thought," what does? If the array must be that way, fine. But let's not rationalize.
Mr. Vollers, you mention that one of the arguments against com- pulsory ROTC is that "the amount of time that has to be put Into the courjta is far out of proportion to the amount of credit received." Old you choose to ignore this point?
In conclusion, Student S e n a t e (the voice of t h e campus), h e r e is one student who could never under- stand the problem from the argu- ments your spokesman presents.
His letter is characterized by an egregious absence of logic, by ra- tionalism and à lot of words. If you wish to support your views, which may or may not be valid, I have an open anind. But, please,
"More matter, with less art."

Dear Editor:
Regarding the "Open Letter t o the Students" published March 3:
P e r h a p s public opinion favors compulsory military training at Al- fred. The m a j o r public opinion I've observed is ' apathy. A few ques- tions might be relevnt to the is- sue.
The letter speaks of a " f r e e "
education system. Are we justified in requiring all to participate in a program so that a few can re- ceive its advantages? (More bas- ically, -does the individual exist f o r ,
•the sta/te or community?) T h e letter claims the ROTC pro- gram gives thé student "discipline, both of mind and body." Assum- ing that the discipline of tbe body is a goal of an academic commu- nity, Is this promoted more effec- tively by weekly marching drills, or by a physical education pro- gram? Is the discipline of the mind that is so lacking in modern so- ciety the discipline of external au- thority, or of critical • anysis and study?
W h a t is " t h e cynicism and anti- mdlitairism of college students"—
the recognition of man's problems are not solved by w a r ? Does t h e military program "take tbe edge off cynicism," or does it stifle critical and objective study by promoting mass conformity?
Is the function of a University to proclaim nationalistic propagan- da, or to critically examine cul- ture (both our own and others') and increase world understandiing?
Alfred University states, " W e seek to develop the student's basic skills in analyzing, evaluating, thinking independently and crea- tively, and communicating." (Al- fred University Liberal Arts Cata- log, 1958-59). If the military pro- g r a m is inconsistent with the ob- jectives of higher education, is a University justified in making it obligatory because of financial ad- vantages?
Before t h e r e c a n be a n y valid
"public opinion on the subject"
t h e r e must be some penetrating:
study of the issues involved.

bers and is quite autonomous from Congressional policy.
The three main goals of the Coun- cil a t the time of its formation were to influence legislation in Con- gress, make the puiblic aware of Democratic policy, and ito help in the formation of the party plat- form in 1960.
As a result of the lack of Con- gressional membership, the Council was unable to influence legisla- tion. However, through policy state- ments they have created publte awareness. These statements' are made on the basis of studies by Foreign Policy, Labor, and Eco- nomic Policy advisory commissions.
•The Council will probably have an influence on the 1960 campaign.
It is probable t h a t some Of its policy statements will be incorpor- ated in the Democratic Platform, Miss Fairbank said.
Miss Broudy discussed the role of the television in political: cam- paigns. Her study was on the con-
gretitUm and senatorial campaigns with emphasis on the comparison of the Republicans and Democrats, v Republicans and Democrats dif- f e r in their use of television. T h e Republicans use the mass produc- tion technique quite extensively.
Professional advertisers p r e u a r e material, tips, etc., for the candi- date's use and they help direct candidate's programs.
In contrast the Democratic can- didates generally plan their pro- grams on individual bases and or- ganize them around local issues.
• Miss Broudy stated that televis- ion campaigning has become adver- tising rather than the presentation of issues. Therefore the use ot sniall "spot" announcements is be- comnig prevalent. The stress i s on sincerity and informality.
"Television is a living media and will continue to grow in use,"
Miss Broudy concluded. It will play an important role in the I960 campaigns.

The Camel blend of costly tobaccos has never been equalled for rich flavor and easygoing mildness. The best tobacco makes the best smoke.

Foolish boy—the best way to make a bottle of Coke disappear is to drink it! Yes,
swallow after swallow, that cold crisp taste is so deeply satisfying... and the lively lift is so bright and cheerful the whole day seems happier, just like magic. So open sesame! Just uncap the bottle and get ready for The Pause That Refreshes!

All eyes will be turned toward.
Binns-Merrill Hall on Friday eve- ning for one of the most important highlights of the St. Pat's Festival.
This year's Open House exhibit at the Ceramic College promises to be one of old traditions and new innovations.
The latest feature to be inau- gurated at the Open House is a salute to a particular branch of the ceramics industry. The abrasives industry is the theme of the exhi- bit this year.
More than fifty companies will be represented, displaying prod- ducts ranging from large grinding wheels to synthetic diamonds.
T h e Corning glass blowers have been invited again to participate in the festival. They will be ex- hibiting their talents downstairs in the kiln room.
Another popular glass demonstra- tion will be given upstairs by Y.
B. Bail of Niagara Falls. Mr. Ball, more commonly known as the
"Lamp Worker," will be making glass animals and other small far tors.
While these imports are demon- strating their talents with glass, the ceramic design students will be demonstrating their proficiency on the potters' wheels and in oth- e r art media in the basement labs.
The engineering, glass technolb-•
gy and research departments will have their labs open on the first and second floors, with sthdenrts performing various experiments pertinent to each class.
At least one of the kilns will be
in firing operation during the exhi- bition. The tunnel kiln .will be in cold operation to demonstrate large-scale ceramic production.
Also on exhibit and for sale are the St. Pat'3 favors. The two ash- trays selected this year represent the combined efforts of the de- signers, engineers and St. Pat's Board.
- 'They -were designed by senior designers Bob Reintsema and Frank Biele. One ashtray is almost flat and triangular in shape. The
other is deeper, and resembles a peanut half-shall.
The Board and camipus recruits ram pressed, rubber scrubbed and glazed the favors during interses- sion, and fired them early in Feb- ruary. One of the many glazes used was specially developed by Prof.
C. W. Merritt for the St. Pat's fa- vors.
Admission is free, and all mem- bers of the campus and their guests are invited to partake in the Festi- val.
Judy. Chase, the mademoiselle who has been wait- ing for the general is shown here being comforted by Robert Meltzer, the general's secretary.
Bafore this scene, on stage is General St. Pe, who pauses in the dictation of his memoirs to wonder what became of the woman he met seventeen years .ago—and a few moments later he finds out. She appears to tell him she has been faithfully waiting for kim, and she now has letters proving the in- fidelity of his wife, so now what of his promise to marry her?
Since the general's wife is still only too alive, he is still not ready, willing or able to fulfill the ro- mantic girl's expectations. She flips a dainty lady's size pearl handled revolver from her reticule and attempts suicide.
Unfortunately, the revolver doesn't work, so she throws herself out a window, and lands on the general's secretary, who, as one can see from the above picture, proves himself completely ready, will- ing and able .to assuage her postponed longings.
"Waltz of the Toreadors," by Jean Anouilh, the comedy about a military strategist whose women out-maneuver him, will be presented this weekend by the Footlight Club as part of the St. Pat's Pro- duction.
A performance of the play will be given as part of
•the St. Pat's Festival, Saturday afternoon at 2:15.
Another performance will be given Monday evening, March 16 at 8:15. Both shows will be held at Alum- n i Hall.
Admission is by'St. Pat's ticket or tickets obtain-
ed a t the door. • ., v
The play, which has, been a hit in Paris, London and New York, was lauded as "A gracefully and wittily written farce, a superior piece of theatre,"
by John Chapman of the .New York Daily News, when it scored its Broadway success in 1957.
Walter Kerr, theatre critic of the New York Her- ald-Tribune called-it, "a brilliant play, one of the iew precisely perfsct ones of c>ur times."
Pat Visits Disneyland Is
TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1959 THE FIAT LUX, ALFRED, NEW YORK PACE THREE
Theme of This Year's Festival-1959
Be gorra an' if the fourteenth isn't the twenty-seventh anniver- sary of St. Pat's Festival held an- nually every March!
The St. Pat's activities were ini- tiated to the campus in 1933 by the late Dean Holmes of the 'ce- ramics school, educator, potter and engineer. Saint Patrick was select- ed as the patron saint of the ce- ramic engineers and well he de- served the honor, for St. Pat was Important in the development of ttie arts and crafts.
During the inhabitation of Ire- land by the Gaelic race, little was known of the crafts until St. Pat and his missionaries invaded the pagan civilization. In the following years he introduced the use of lime as a mortar by burning lime- atone or sea-shells\ in a kiln. Dur- ing the later Christian era this practice continued and ceramic work developed into an organized craft.
On March 15, 1933 St. Part made his first appearance on Main Street surrounded by body guards and freshman escorts. Following him were floats made by the sororities and fraternities. A speech, tea diance, open house, ball, Footlight Club presentation and a corn beef and icabbage dinner made uip the program for this first festival which drew 700 out of town visitors in addition to the student body.
In the following years, the St.
Pat activities were enthusiastically anticipated and in 1937 it became a campus tradition. Each year AU drew a larger crowd and in -1956 the attendance record was broken despite a large snow storm. Each year St. Pat arrived in some unique;
manner—ancient autos, beer truicks or in company with some famous band leader.
This year's festivities promise to be as exciting as previous years with the Footlight Club's rendition of "Waltz of the Toreadors," the dance with Ler'oy Holmes, the crowning of the queen, and the an- nual Beard contest plus the other traditional activities.

Queen to
In a wee bit of Disneyland, Le- roy Holmes and his orchestra will provide music to dance by. This, the setting for the annual St. Pat's Ball, will be the scene this Sat- urday night.
The Ball, highlighting the week- end, will start at 9 p.m., as the first couple o r leprafchaun enters the portalfi of Disneyland. .
Waltz and cha-cha music will hush at 11 o'clock as all eyes turn to the shamrock-studded throne.
At this time, the queen, preceded by her court of fair colleens, will make her entrance. St. Pat will then crown the queen of the festi- val and she will reign with him over all the lads and lasses of their kingdom.
Final strains of the Holmes or- chestra will be heard 'round 2 o'clock when the "Wearing of the Green'' will be tucked away for another year.
This year, as in previous years, the five queen candidates were chosen by a campus-wide vote.,,The selection of the band, however, was unique as it marked the first tithe the band was chosen by a stu- dent ballot.

Student Senate Election Platforms
President
Hank Nester
Student Government ia in t h e unique position of being t h e only elected, representative body on c a m p u s charged with the general responsibility of student welfare.
It contributes t o the forming of t h e student in academic, vultural and social affairs.
,Academically, a course evaluation program " M s b e e n ' instituted
•through t h e Senate, wherelby con- structive criticism by students may a i d in the handling of m a n y cours- es. Perhaps it would be possible to put more emphasis on the use of this program.
In cultural affairs, the students a r e represented by the Senate in t h e setting up of the assembly pro- g r a m a n d the F o r u m schedule. I t
is true that some of the assemblies a r e boring and Worthless a s "The Captive Audience" reported in a let- t e r to the FIAT recently, Through t h e Senate this situation could be improved also.
Socially, t h e Senate h a s confin- e d its efforts to the events on Mov- i n g Up Day and Winter Carnival Weekend. Due to lack of support, i t h a s been quite frame time since these programs h a v e been altered a n d there seems to be no opposi-
tion to leaving things a s they Btand. If found necessary, these p r o g r a m s could be varied.
. T h e Student Senate, derives .what- ever power it does, have from the administration. Therefore, many
»tudenets • believe* sttident govern- ment is almost worthless.
This idea fosters t h e growth of a p a t h y which is a killer to student government. The Student Senate c a n gain more power if the mem- bers of this organization show t h a t t h e y are capable of handling the added responsibility. Apathy must b e overcome through good leaders a n d more important, by inspired followers.
A subject that draws considerable comtroversey ia this candidate's views is our representation in the National Student Association, bet- t e r known as U.S.A. About 20 per- cent of the greater t h a n $3,000.00 Student Senaae budget is alloted to the programs of the N.S.A. This is a topic which m u s t be discussed
•impartially. [ hope to include this in my speech before "The Captive Audience."
See you at the assembly, March 19th.
Joe Vollers
On March 19, you, the students 'of Alfred, will go to the polls to
•elect an e n t i r e new slate of officers to control -your p a i ^ voice on cam- pus, the Student Senate. It is only f a i r , therefore, that you should be allowed . to .... have ^ a beforehand glimpse of what program your Sen- a t e will follow if you elect me a s i t s President.
Of course, my first task would b e to take the reins of control without losing any of the cohesion t h a t is present now within the Sen- a t e . Then gradually, making t h e l e a s t number of enemies possible I will make the following program t h e backbone and motivating f o r c e of Senate activity in the next year.
First, within the Senate itself, I
"will follow a plan including:
1. Careful instruction and indoc- trination tor aH n e w members of t h e Senate under the supervision of a Training Committee.
2. Tight regulation of attendance at all meetings and strict evalu-
ation of participation in both dis- cussion and atctwal work. Impartial
enforcement of these rules will eliminate much of the dead wood that hinders the operation of the Senate.
3. A definite plan to Invite stu- dent leaders and potential leaders, especially in the freshman class, to attend Senate meetings and to view the machinery of student politics.
This is to offset the overlooking a t times of real leadership poten- tial in choosing Senators.
4. A system of committee review by the executive committee to in- sure streamlined, efficient opera- tion on basic issues.
Secondly, my program for Sen- ate relations on campus will em- body:
1. An assumption of a more forceful role as the "Loyal Oppo- sition" to the administration. This does not mean that the Senate will become radically liberal inits re- lations with the University, but t h a t it will welcome the position on campus of being a stronger sound- ing board for student grievances and will strive to take the student view to the administration for fast- e r solution.
2. Cooperation with both the fac- ulty and administration while re- maining an independent and dyn- amic Influence on campus policy.
T h e Senate will play no favorites and will champion any cause it deems best for the students and the University as a whole.
3. Augmenting t h e present pro- gram of student and course evalu- ation with more frequent and more extensive checks on the education system in conjunction with the Na- tional Student Association.
Finally, as f a r a s t h e social as- pect of campus life is concerned, my program will call f o r :
1. An injection of new life into non-fraternal and non-sororal social life. This would mean, among other projects, a definite program to sup- port the budding movement toward a n independent social group on campus and an a t t e m p t to retain the Winter Carnival as an annual University function with more Uni- versity cooperation.
2. A reorganization of the social part of orientation week,- including a freshman-upperclass outing, a greater round of Senate sponsored events and ail informal seminar for those new students interested in political and social leadership on campus.
These, then, are my Ideas for the Senate in the coming year. I can- not promise total success In all these endeavors, but I can pro-' mise you t h a t it I am elected, the campus will have a strong and ef-
ficient yet flexible organization to represent the students and you will witness a very interesting and per- haps a very different leadership in your Student Senate.
Vice President
Ken Mattucci
T h e vice president plays a very important role tn Student Senate affairs. His duties a r e necessary for Senate existence. According to thje Senate constitution his main duties a r e : 1) to act as parliamen- tarian a t Senate meetings, 2) to preside over S e n a t e meetings in the event of the president's ab- sence, and 3) to serve a s a mem- ber of the S e n a t e Executive Com- mittee.
Along with his designated du- des, the Student Senate vice pres- ident also h a s many o t h e r func- tions. He must b e a n active coor- dinator of all t h e Senate commit- tees, without which t h e Senate
could not function. It is-his duty to solve or help solve all problems that arise from such committees.
He m u s t also organize a n d coordin- a t e campus-wide activities. In this capacity, h e is confronted by many other problems.
In order to serve his t e r m in office profitably for the s t u d e n t body, your vice president m u s t po- sess certain qualifications. H e .must be experienced in student govern- ment affairs. He m u s t know how t h e meetings are run and w h e t h e r or not the various committees a r e working to capacity, As parliamen- tarian, he must know t h e , basic rules of orderly conduct, at, meet- ings. He must also attain, the re- spect of his fellow senators,, As vice president of the freshman.-class of 1960, president of the sophomore and junior classes, and" a s e n a t e member for three years,. I . .Relieve that I am well qualified for the position of vice president of the Student Senate.
During my membership with the Senate I have been a' member of the Senate Elections Committee, Personnel Committee, and a s chair- man of the Functional Service Com- mittee this past year, I have gain- ed much insight as to the inner workings of the Senate.
The coordinator of caimpus-wide .activities is probably the most im-
portant function of the vice presi- dent. I have had vast experience in this area as a member of the In- t e r f r a t e r n i t y Council, Blue Key, and as chairman of several moving- up day committees.
I have illustrated the responsi- bilities of the vice president of the Senate a n d also what I believe to be my qualifications to hold the same. If elected, .I will do my best to make your student govern- ment more efficient and to sup- port and execute all programs t h a t t h e Senate develops.
Jerry Pearlman
As a candidate for the office of vice-president it is customary to present what is referred to a s my platform. This platform states my ideas aad ideals, programs and plans for the future.
Although only a sophomore, I h a v e come to t h e conclusion t h a t these statements are j u s t so m a n y words. The fact t h a t I am a mem- ber of the student body plaices my aims with those of my fellow stu- dents. Therefore, I feel the only platform necessary is t h a t your aims and mine coincide, and they do.
Now the question of imy qualifi- cations for office arises. Am I qual- ified for this office? Will I be able to express t h e sentiments of t h e students I represent? In m y two years at Alfred I have been a member of the Student Senate. A t present I am the chairman of the
"Leadership Training Conference,"
in whose hands lies the full respon- sibility for the organization and conducting of t h e affair.
Prior to this I was chairman of a committe to rearrange the Sen- ate's committee system. T h e aims of this group were to establish ex- pediency and efficiency in the me- chanics of a committee system.
Finally, in my role a s an active participant I was chairman of a committee t h a t worked in conjunc- tion with t h e faculty and adminis- tration in promoting the idea of a U n i v e r s i t y sponsored Student Health a n d Accident"^ i n s u r a n c e Policy. .
Thus, you can see that the mem- bers of the Senate h a r e placed a great deal of faith In m y ability to lead these ecommitteee. I sincere- ly feel t h a t I h a v e not let them
down nor would I let you, t h e stu- dents, down if I were elected to this office.
In conclusion: first and foremost, I am a student serving in the stu- dents' interests—your interests.
Second, I have the experience and familiarity with Senate procedure to successfully fulfill this office.
Above all I implore you to stand behind your student government and vote in the coming elections.
NSA
Coordinator
Bob Tite
Realizing the duties a n d require- ments of the N.S.A Coordinator on campus, I would like to submit m y qualifications for this office.
First, however, we must be sure (that everyone is familiar with this office. According to the Senate Con-
stitution, the duties of the N.S.A.
Coordinator are a s follows:
1. He will act a s representative of the Senate and Student Body at all N.S.A. Conventions.
2. He will a c t as chairman of t h e N.S.A. committee on campus..
These duties may seem relative- ly simple and limited, but upon closer examination you will find they are much more extensive.
While acting as representative a t the N.S.A. Conventions, the Coor- dinator discusses problems of both his campus and other campuses.
Many ideas are brought back to Alfred which a r e extremely help- ful in solving our own problems.
Through my active participation in the Senate, and my experience i n dealing with campus problems, I feel that I will be able to dis- cuss our problems intelligently a t these conventions.
The second stated duty of the Coordinator is to act as chairman of the N.S.A. Committee. W h a t does this committee do? Aside f r o m its normal duties of conventions, the committe is delegated certain responsibilities during the school yeair. Many of these are projects which may come directly from the N.S.A. files. These projects require a good deal of coordin&tional abil- ity and imagination in their com- pletion.
I feel t h a t my experience a s co- chairman of the Activities Coor- dinating Committee will help me greatly in these organizational du- ties. I was the university chairman of the Winter Carnival Weekend, which was held in conjunction with the Tech School. This proved to be invaluable experience a s to the committee methods and policies of student government.
I have stated the duties of the office, supplemented by my quail fications. To carry out only t h e required duties seetms to me, how- ever, to be not quite enough f o r our growing Senate. N.S.A. affords unlimited opportunities for the bet t e r m e n t of the Student govern- ment on a n y campus. It is up to the Coordinator to see t h a t these
opportunities are incorpated on the Alfred campus.
I hope, if I am elected, to m a k e N.S.A. better known on campus through the many projects which i t can assume. I am confident t h a t through eareful planning, h a r d work and the fine caliber of stu- dent senators at Alfred, these goals can be realized.
Bob Wiggins
To be a good N.S.A. coordinator,
^interest in national student acti- vities is essential. On must be able to analyze, understand, and organ- ize national student association m a t t e r s in such a way t h a t Alfred University will be benefited.
The coordinator must be respon- sible, dependable and able to co- operate with other people or groups. I feel that I am qualified on these points.
All colleges have problems which t h e y feel merit t h e cooperatipn of o t h e r institutions. Many school gov- e r n m e n t s want to unite and t a k e a stand for or against certain ideas o r rules. An example of this is con-
tained in the letter) concerning compulsory R.O.T.C., that our Stu- d e n t Senate received last week from the Rutgers University Stu- dent Government. This letter w a s brought before our Student Senate and the last issue of the "FIAT"
contained the Senate's reply t o Rutgers. , Matters like this are a part of t h e N.S.A. coordinator's job. H e must know how to handle them properly, present them to his com- mittee, be able to present t h e com- mittee decision to the Senate Ex- ecutive Committee and to the Sen- ate, if need be.
In closing, I would like to s t a t e t h a t I realize the problems this job could entail. I feel t h a t t h e solutions to these problems a r e not beyond m y capabilities. I a m sure t h a t I could be a real service to the Senate and University l a this position.

Warriors Drop Finale Season's Mark Is 11-9
Bresnick Honored
Atehle Bresnick, Alfred bas- ketball scoring ace, received honorable mention in the East- ern small college poll for his play against Harpur and Clark- son Tech a few weeks ago.
The Saxon quintet concluded its season last Wednesday night when they lost to Rochester Institute of Technology, 87-78 at Rochester.
The game was a lot closer than the score indicates, for with two minutes and 20 seconds to go, Al- fred was down by only one point.
However, ' Steinberg's jump shot rolled off the rim, and in the en- suing scramble for the ball, RIT came up with it. They then spurt- ed, scoring eight points before Al- fred next scored.
Warren Sutton played one of his finest games for the Saxon Warriors, netting 33 points and 20 reibounds. "Suts" »cored Alfred's first nine points, hitting his first four shots, all juAnpers from the foul line. He added a foul shot before another Alfred player scor- ed. Sutton was handicapped by having to play all of the second half and most of the first with Four fouls. He also sat out aJbout five minutes of the first half.
Paced by Sutton and Rochester's Milko, the scoring came hot and heavy. After four minutes, the score was tied a t 11 all. At that point, RIT's tremendous height ad-
vantage began to tell, and they slowly opened a t e n point lead. Al- fred was out-rebounded all during th game by the home team, wihich was led in this department by Ed Baucum, their 6'6" all-titae scaring atee. The half ended with Alfred down 54-45.
In the second half, Alfred roared back. Quick baskets by Steinberg and Sutton, combined with same tight defense cut RIT's lead in half before a minute of time had gone by. Alfred steadily oame back and at the 10 minute mark had gone ahead, 69-66. RIT then rallied, and the last ten minutes were nip and tuck as Alfred tried to hold off the detetfmined Tigers. However, the Tecih men overcame Alfred'«
lead and then blew the game wide open in the last t w o minutes.
The game was one of Alfred's best, offensively. It could have gone either way in the last two minutes, and according to Coach Smith, if w e had been at home, we probably would have won. Stein- berg and Bresnick contributed 22 and 15 points respectively and trosh
