WUS Rep. At Senate Explains Functions

And Accomplishments

Ann Woodam, a traveling secretary

•of the World University Service, at- tended the Student Senate this week for the purpose of explaining to the members the functons and accomplish"

merits of the WUS.

The World University Service has been in active service for a great many years. After the end of the first World War, and until five years after World War II, the emphasis of the organiza- tion was on relief to students In Eur- ope suffering hardships due to the conditions of war.

However, in 1950 several of the committees In the European countries decided that no more aid was to be given to students in their universities.

They realized that the situation of students in other parts of the world was much worse than that in Europe and that all the aid possible should be directed to Asia, Africa and the other countries of the East. The stand- ard of living in these countries was much lower than that in Europe and therefore the help which could be suplied to students would be more ben- eficial.

As an example of the poor condi- tions in the East, Miss Woodam men- tioned the plight of India, Burma and Indonesia. After World War II, about 1945, these countries will still subject nations. Only a priviledged few were able to attend a university at all. Af- ter the independence of these coun- tries, the government took over the cost of running the universities and the result was that a tremendous In- crease In population took place. The countries were then faced with a tre- mendous shortage of facilities, as in the case of textbooks.

The WUS, recognizing the need, set up presses to print textbooks, in this case In Indonesia. This was with the money raised by the WUS in Indones- ia, and the contribution from the In-

ternational office. It also facilitated the building of student lodging units with the help of the local unit*.

in the field of health, the WUS was

also a great help. It was estimated that in Asia, one out of ten students had Amoebic Dysentery, and that one out of twenty had malaria. In Japan, 5,000 students had tuberculosis. In Japan and India, student TB sanitaria were built.

It is to be noted though, that with- out the all-out cooperation of the stu- dents In the countries affected, and also those in other parts of the world, the acheivements of the organization could not have been possible. It was just by the spirit generated by the university students that funds were raised and projects begun.

The importance of the WUS is not to be exaggerated. University students now, will be responsible for the future of their countries for the reason that in the Asiatic countries there are so few educated people. Therefore, many students graduating from college step right Into Important government and economic positions.

That these youth be allowed to ob- tain the best and fullest education possible is the responsibility of all people interested in the future wel- fare of the world. These youths will be in a position to dictate the devel- j opments to come; and the more re-

sponsible, educated and well informed persons there are forming policy, the more secure the position of the world will be in the future.

At the beginning of April, Alfred will sponsor a •Community Chest Drive.

The World University Service is one of the organizations being supported.

It is hoped that the students at Alfred will recognize the importance of their support to the continuance of such a fund, and will gladly contribute what they can to the drive.

Army Will Dance To Sampson

"Skytones;" Cadets To Get Sponsors - VIFs Will Attend

Friday at 9 p.m., in the Men's Gym, the Second Annual Military Ball will be presented.

The music for Friday's affair will be provided by "The Skytones Dance Band." "The Skytones" are composed of sixteen enlisted personnel from Sampson Air Force Base. In addition to local post functions, the "Skytones'' have played on local radio stations and have appeared on "Out of the Blue," a twelve week program featur- ing Air Force Talent. This program was carried, nationally, by the Queen network of the American Broadcast-

Design Profs Vesatile

by Angela Zegarelli There is usually much ado about the presidents of organizations or chairman of departments, and inevitably their staffs and aids, although appreciated greatly, are little recognized. Therefore, let us discuss four men in the Ceramic school, who indeed are integral cogs in the ceramic design machine—Mr. Ekadahl, Mr. Klitzfce, Mr.

Randal' and Mr. Rhodes:

Having received his education at the Chicago Art Institute, the Uni- versity of Oaicago and the Sorbonne, Mr. Klitzke, who teaches art and his- tory of design, has had a varied career. Widely traveled, at one time he ran a school in Germany for the personnel of the State Department.

He did research work for his disser- tation in Mexico and is currently much Interested in Latin American art States. His extensive education was in painting and drawing and likes very much to hike. Another (hobby is his vast collection of prints and drawings.

Mr. Ekdahl, who received much of his training in Swedish schools, also attended the Art Institute of Chicago.

His deepest Interest is in furniture design and architectural work and has bis own office In Chicago. Industrial design Interests him at the present time, but as for future plans lie "loves' to teach design." ..

In the pottery field, we have Mr.

Rhodes. He has also had an interest- ing career and his design work has led him to many parts of the United States. His extenive education was received at the University of Chica- go, the Art Institute of Chicago, Art Students League of New York, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and here at Alfred. During the war, Mr. Rhodes was a consultant on cer- amics for the War Relocation Author- ity in Wyoming, dealing with Japan- ese-American people. His most avid interest is In research on refractors and ha possesses a U. S. patent on basic refractors. Previously he lived in California and taught both at Stan- ford University and the California School of Fine Arts in San Francis- co. He also maintained his own stud- io there.

Last, but not least, we have Mr. Ran- dall of the Sculpture department. New to Alfred as an fnstructor, he now re- sides in Wellsville and conducts a

"one man" pottery shop there.

He attended the Yala School of Sculpture ana Alfred, and worked for some time In New York where he did technical work for the World's Fair. Mr Randall's future plans are concerned with the development of a porcelain which can be thrown on a wheel.

ing Company.

Last year, Johnny Veith and his orchestra, a student organization from the Eastman School of Music, supplied the musical entertainment.

Due to the lack of suitable weather conditions, the outdoor cafe style will not be used this year. Last year tables and chairs were provided at the side of the gym on the Bartlett Dormitory side.

One feature of last year's Military Ball, that will be continued this year, will be the posting of armed sentries at the door of the gym. These sen- tries are not to keep anyone out; they are used so that they might salute any officer or military guest that at- tends. Last year the sentries were armed with 30 caliber rifles, this year in addition to the rifles, it has been hinted from very reliable sources, that a pair of 105 Howitzers will be onj the bridge to the gym.

One important innovation of last year's Ball will be carried over; that of giving the gals 2:00 o'clocks. The committee responsible for all of last year's innovations was headed by Cadet Sgt. Jay Yedvab and was ably advised by Capt. Charles D. O'Conner (he has since been sent to Korea).

The task of presenting the second Ball fell to Cadet Captain Jerry Beck.

Major Phillip Avery served in the ca- pacity of faculty advisor.

President Eisenhower, as everyone knows, was unable to attend last year's function, (he was personally invited by Cadet Yedvab.)

This year he will also be unable to attend; however, the committee has invited many V.I.P.s and V.I.P.I.s (Very Important persons INDEED) among them are: Lt. General William Burress, Commanding General, iFirst Army; Colonel A. M. Gurney, Deputy Chief of Staff, First Army; Colonel R. T. Nichols, Professor of Military Ssience and Tactics, St. Bonaventure University; Lt. Colonel C. H. Cole- man, R.O.T.C. Coordinator, New York Military District; and a host of local bigwigs.

Highpoint of the Military Ball will come at approxometly 11:15. At this time the Battalion and Company Spon- sors will be formally presented to the Corps of Cadets.

One at a time Misses Barbara Loin- ery, Jane Saunders, Ann Hopkins and Marilyn Butts will step forward and receive their cap, cape and honorary cadet rank from Cadet Lt. Colonel William Bailey. (Barbara receives the rank of Honorary Cadet Lt.

Colonel, emblimatic of her being cho- sen Battalion Sponsor; the others will receive the honorary rank of Cadet Captains.) Following the presenta- tion of the sponsors, a Grand March will be held in which all will par- ticipate. The decorations, in addition to the two rather large ones in frOot of the gym (The Howitzers) will be on a military theme and will include

Smith, Brown Attend Annual Albany Meeting

C. Duryea Smith, III and Ronald Brown, of the speech and dramtic production department, attended the annual meeting of the New York State Speech Association in Albany, Friday and Saturday.

Professor Smith served as modera- tor of a workshop panel discussion Friday morning. "The Future of Creative Dramatics and Children's Theatre" was the panel topic.

Professor Brown was a member of the committee which chose persons to receive citations for their contri- butions in the field of speech. These citations were presented Saturday.

Dr. Paul Pettit, a 1942 graduate of Alfred University, was chairman of the program for the Association meet- ing. He is Instructor of speech and theatre at New York State College for Teachers in Albany.

Wanta Be Queen?

The Mutual Broadcasting System is sponsoring Its second "College Queen of America" contest in conjunction with their program, Queen For a Day.

One entry will be accepted from each college and five finalists will be chos- en from all the entries received. These five will win a trip to Hollywood to appear on the Queen For a Day tele- vision and radio program of May 21, at which time the College Queen of America will be chosen. The national winner will receive an all-expense-paid trip to Hollywood besides additional prizes.

Any women 18 year of age or older, enrolled in a United States college, is eligible. Entries will be Judged from photographs submitted on the basis of beauty, personality and charm, as re- vealed in the photographs. The con- test begins April 19 and the closing date is May 7.

If students are interested in select- ing a girl to represent Alfred in this contest they may contact Dean Bee- man.

present an Easter Concert at 8:00 p.m., Sunday, April 4, in the Village Church. For this program Prof.

Fiedler has written a new organ work, a Choral Prelude on the old German hymn-tune, "Nun lob mein I Seel," (Now bless the Lord, O My

:

Soul).

The main work of the concert will be the "Requiem" by Faure. If all the other works of Faure were to be lost, we would still find in this work the essence which was and is Faure.

He bridged the gap between class- icism and modernism and displayed the unique elegance and good tatse of the French. In the "Requiem" we find a sense of deeply moving intimacy and tenderness. Even the usually vehement "Dies irae" takes on a more reserved and quiet sense of "the wrath that is to come."

The remainder of the program will be given over to chamber works such as the "Church Sonatas" for Continuo and Strings by Mozart, "The Aria for VioWn" from, Bach's St. Mafltbew's Passion

The soloists lor the performance will be Carol Simpson, soprano, of the vocal department; Robert Whit- ing, Bass, of the Eastment School of Music; and Gesa Fiedler, violinist.

Adelbert Purga is to head the string group; Lawrence Ballard Hardy will be at the organ.

An offering will be taken to help defray the cost of the concert.

St. Pat's Speech Eliminated

A. U. Administrative Council Takes Action

The St. Patrick's Festival at Alfred has rightfully taken its place as one of the outstanding events of the col- lege year. The parade, open house, play and ball provide a happy com- bination of activities which are enjoy- ed by students, faculty member*, re- turning alumni and hundreds of guests from off-campus.

I t Is unfortunate that on many oc- casions the speech given by "St. Pat"

has been offensive to listeners. Be- cause'of this the festival has started off on a discordant note. Although the speech ha* not been representative of Alfred, it has been the basis on which the University has been judged by our guests. It's public relations effect, therefore, has come to be of great Im- portance to the University.

Censorship of the speech Is not only Impossible but repugnant to all and cannot be regarded as a solution to our problem.

The Administrative Council has giv en long and thoughtful consideration to this part of the festival program, weighing carefully all aspects of the situation. The members of the coun- cil have decided that the best interests of the University and of all concerned, make necessary the elimination of St.

Pat's speech in future years and have unanimously voted for Its removal.

Representatives of this year's St. Pat's board have been consulted and inform ed of this action.

On the other hand, the council has recognized the need for some appro- priate activity to replace the speech and has authorized me to appoint a Joint student-faculty committee to study the matter. A committee will soon be created with the hope that a program can be planned for the fu- ture which will preserve the carnival aspects of the festival but will be some- thing of which all Alfredlans can be proud.

Students and faculty members are requested to make constructive sug gestions for consideration by the com

Hardy, Katz Find Buffalo Music Group Unsatisfactory: Bored

What Paper Do You Read?

Theory Defined;

For Stravinsky;

Beethoven Slow

by Bert Katz

Music is a subjective experience. It can hardly be treated objectively. In music, tones are not just produced, they are displayed also. With this in mind let us review the concert of the Buffalo Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Thomas Mayer which took place last Wednesday night In the men's gym.

The opening Wagner overture to

"Die Meistersinger" was clear, resil- ient and Wagnerian. It had an overall quality of audacity and brilliance that is Wagner. There is a nice individual- ity In the Buffalo Symphony and in the selections of the first half of the evening's concert this was en- joyable. The familiar overture ended with a handsome and deliberate state- ment, t The second selection of the concert was the Stravinsky "Firebird Suite."

Stavinsky is a modern, contemporary composer. He explores new ways to form sounds into a plan which we call music. The "Firebird Suite" is a won- derful example of exploration, expres- sive mood change and sensitivity. One | has many feelings throughout this exciting composition. The first part of the suite was contained and efflu- ent in feeling. The orchestra conveyed this emotion very well. As it moved' through the first part one senses an ap- prehensiveness, a feeling of anxiety.

Finally comes a great burst of ener- gy from the percussion section and a greater feeling of fruition; from a po- tential to a maturity of color and ex- pression in music. Movements back and forth blaze and dance in the music created by Stravinsky and ex- ecuted by the Buffalo organization.

There is a tremendous velocity of tones racing here and there giving each section of the 80 piece group a flash of glory. The abstract symbols _of music return in the third part to that feeling of melody complimented by a dissonence and melodic line. Cer.

tainly an interesting contrast dis- played rather well by the Buffalo Sym- phony under Mr. Mayer's direction.

The suite ends, once again with a blaze of color and maturity.

From the comments of the audience after the concert, the validity of sub- jective musical phenomena is support- ed; there were many differng ideas of Beethoven "as he should be played."

Mr. Mayer's Beethoven was not mine.

From the first two chords of the

"Eroica" there was a lack of power or conviction of this reviewer's Idea of Beethoven. A dull uninspiring qual- ity throughout the symphony oom- pletly disintegrated the brilliance and audaciousness of Beethoven in one of the master's most inspiring works.

The brilliance that Mr. Mayer had in his Stravinsky Interpretation was completely lacking in the Beethoven.

There was, besides this, an inconsis- tency of tempo throughout. The Marcia Fenebre (adagio assai) of the second movement was too slow. And the few flowering moments of this presentat- tlon. when they appeared, weer stort- lived. In the third movement marked Allegro vivace; Scherzo, there was some Indication of a living, vibrant Beethoven; but this passed quite rap- Idly into the very dissappointing Fin- ale. It is indicative of a dissimilarity of ideas of Beethoven Interpretation that caused many to comment, as did one particular authority: "It was great to hear it without scratches."

Mr. Mayer's organization is a good one and lt Is without malice to him

Un-practiced Event Stirs Critic's Query

by Lawrence Ballard Hardy

Uninteresting, uneven and dull de- scribes in a few words the much her- alded performance of the Buffalo Phil- harmonic Orchestra last Wednesday evening. To this reviewer, who has recently heard the orchestra under krips, the concert was a disappoint- ment and a dissillusionment.

The wedding of Thomas Mayer, as guest conductor, to the Buffalo Orch- estra was at best unfortunate - at least for this particular concert. It became obvious that the players and the play- er were not in harmony.

It was also obvious that the con- ductor was poorly prepared as tar aa the score of the Beethoven was con- cerned. For this there was no excuse.

There is no excuse for a conductor to keep his nose In the score so much that he gives the cues to the wrong sections. Also this is, the only conduc- tor, that this reviewer has seen, who conducts the accompaniment and lets the theme to its own devices.

The second movement, Marcia fone- bre: udaggio assai, was not only a funeral but a nightmare of boredom.

The Wagner (Prelude to Die Meist- ersinger) and the Stravinsky (The Firebird Suite) were placed with some degree of satisfaction. They were played more o

r

less in the traditional stlye without much more than just that.

It was too bad that the orchestra had not practiced, except to play it that afternoon at Wellsville, the Walti by William Fiedler. The work has a certain charm and worth which was certainly aborted Wednesday evening- They have had the score for three months.

The Fiedler work, and the orches- tra's lack of preparation of that work, brings this reviewer to a question he hopes the Forum committee will take under consideration. Why is it that we should pay out over $1,000 for a poorly played symphony concert when for the same money we could be get- ting several smaller attractions? For the same money several single con- certs could be giv%n thus making our Forum a more significant under- taking.

Alfred has been missing the boat.

It Is possible, by cooperating with im.

preBsarios In Buffalo, Rochester, Syra- cuse and other communities, to get artists to make side trips to colleges for a minimal fee, and expenses. I have done this in another community and I know it can be done. It takes planning and a little work but a more rewarding Forum series could be had by looking into this aspect of pro- curring artists for the series.

or his orchestra that there exists between him and his reviewer a difference of opinion or of feel- ing for Beethoven. Such a genius as Beethoven deserves many ideas, and opinions/

Mr. Mayer himself has a sincere feeling for his audience aa was shown by his cooperation with them as he played four encores, including one of Professor William Fiedler's own works.

As we accept subjectivity and gen- eralization let us say that It was a very enjoyable evening of music. The audience of over 1100 seemed to feel that way.

Again let it be understood that the art of music fills everyone with a spiritual feeling; this Is what dis- tinguishes music from noise. Let us then thank the forum committee for its work this year and realize that the wonder of music depends parti?

on subjective exposition.

TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1954

Editorial

The recent Pootlight Production brought out the usual results: them that

!

liked it and them that didn't. We witnessed a variation, though, in that this time the criticism published by the F.L. was itself sub- jected to criticism. Now, we do not mean to imply that this, in itself, is unique. All criticism, no matter of what subject, is subject to the same. But the instances cited contained a few interesting points that we think worth mentioning.

We should first state that we are not entering upon a criticism of the production 'The Madwoman of Chaillot.' We covered that sub- ject to our satisfaction last week. What we are interested in is the subsequent criticism, and the critism of that. We suppose that this must deal with the general office of criticism!

In the first place, we distinctly heard the F.L. writer criticised be- cause he — so it was stated — had no knowledge of the technical aspects of play production. Now, it so happens that the writed under question has taken a number of courses in the Drama- Department and is probably better versed in the technique of the drama than the majority of the audience. But that is beside the point: we are speak- ing of criticism in general.

In 'general' then, should the critic have an extensive knowledge of the inner workings of production? — perhaps enough to know what to look for in a particular drama. More knowledge is desirable, but why is it necessary? The play is presented before a non-technical audience — it is, we suppose, produced to please and/or educate that audience. Why then should criticism be made from the point of view of the expert?

We assume that the first effect of dramatic criticism should be to assess the degree to which the play has fulfilled the intentions of its author and its producer. If the play is to be presented for the enjoy- ment' of a select technical audience, it should be billed as such; if it is presented as drama for the masses, it may be criticized as sueh.

Again, we are not judging the Alfred production of 'The Madwoman of Chaillot.' We are questioning the logic of those who wish our critic to exhibit a technical sympathy not possessed by the expected audience.

It was further alluded that, if the critic should judge from the stand- point of view the audience — then he should remember that the produc-

Letters

Women Again

My Dear Editor,

This is a letter in reference to the complaint I registered to you personally.

It seems that throughout the country there is a sweeping specter of in- decision, suspicion and general truc- ulence toward discussing and planning for a more liberal set of rules concerning women's social hours. Hbw well I realize this is a hackneyed and perhaps fruitless discussion,' neverthe- less, it needs to be read and talked about. It seems to me, in a land where women have achieved political equal- ity, there should also be social equal- ity. I know all the old arguments against unlimited hours and no corporal punishment, yet even today they seem worth repeating and discounting.

I dislike this lack of fairness, it is about time we find that verdant springtime which is associated with idealism. Fairness and justice are long overdue the college woman. Ev- erytime I speak of a more liberal hour schedule I am beset by skepticism which runs along the lines of it can never be or what can you expect from the college people anyway, well, I know what I can expect - fairness and a courtesy of debate ! Sir, I would like to know why in the past when reforms have been asked for they are turned down without a clarifying reason to all by the WSG and whom ever else deals with these decisions.

Isn't it ironical that girls mature enough to come to college should be treated like high school teen-agers?

Isn't it true that we are old enough after our freshman year to know what we can get away with and when we have to study? Perhaps, I have not gotten a representative group of the college students together, however, from the consensus of opinion I have received, if the issue of more liberal hours was brought before the student body for a popular vote I do not believe it would be defeated ! This problem is not a women's problem it is one that affects the whole campus so why not present it to those who it concerns? Maybe I'm naive but if a girl's mother permits her at home to use her own discretion on her dating and the hours of returning why can't the school do the same. Yes, I realize there are those, mainly the non-city girls, who do not have this privilege - but shall we sacrifice the sum of the whole for the part? In the main, most of the girls are capable of and are given at home the use of their own discretion in matters such as these. How would we remedy this situation, let me explain. I propose that the girls who can produce written notes from their parents permitting their using their own discretion be submitted to a board and that this board upon questioning the girls should decide the eligibility of a girl's being given extra hours. The way this would be done would be by having a closed meeting where the girl could be questioned and her character evaluated by her own beliefs and the references of the dorm mother.

Perhaps, what 1 suggest is again dis- criminatory, but at least it is fairer than what has preceded its use. If there is an issue of morals I do not beleive that there is a question of any specific hour involved, but only the character of the igirl. The hours are not important in themselves in this

Most of you who read the Fiat do not have any conception of the gruel- ing work and tearful trials and tribu- lations of the faithful staff who sit up till the wee hours of the morning compiling and writing the different little items that report you, our read- ing public, the ACCURATE and IN- TERESTING happings around the campus.

These unsung heroes and heroines spend all week buttonholing people and saying, "Please, Mr. Brown, something must be going on in your organization.' Then they spend five hours a night on Wednesday night stretch- ing half a dozon words to fill a forty- line hole in the paper, (which, inci- dentally, is what I'm attempting now.) Come Thursday night they enthus- iastically rush their work down to the office only to have the result of their week's labor torn to bits before their eyes by the person who seems to have nothing to do all week but devise nwe torture meth6ds, the the editor.

Next time you see a member of the Fiat staff walking around the campus (you can recognize them by that defeated look in their eyes and their bent posture) remember to give a sympathetic smile and perhaps a hand on that stooped shoulder. And when you are happily attending classes or doing a bit of homework, give a

thought to that poor unsalaried slave who gives his all to a thankless job.

Out Of Bounds

June Copley

The contacts of this column have previously been confined to institu- tions of learning in this country but today we will withdraw behind the

"Iron Curtain" to the University of Moscow.

Due to our inability to make a per- sonal tour to this country our information is taken from an article in The Griffin from Canisiusj College.

That article was written by Dean Schoelkoph, editor of the University of Minnesota Daily, who was one of seven American college editors just returned from a three week tour of the Soviet Union.

Moscow University is a 23-story skyscraper, situated on Lenin hills just outside the city. It was opened last fall and is the shiny new show- piece of the Soviet educational sys tern. The facilities at the university are good, with streamlined, well equiped laboratories, classrooms and individual study desks, and a supply of American technical journals. Two 18-story wings are attached to the classroom section of the building.

These provide dormitory space for 6,000 students. Some of these rooms were visited and were found com- parable to most dormitory rooms at U.S. Colleges.

rehearsal. There are two replys possible. First, one may say, 'Al- • right, if the company wishes to be judged in comparison with the worst possible model — good! We will not give our true estimation, but only a compliment for effort.' This, of course, refuses the Foot- light Club a scale with which to judge its work; we do not think that this is trfe wish of those involved.

Secondly, the critic — in the particular case of last week — might have replied that he had qualified his pronouncement i by including in the article an admission of the above stated 'extenuating factors.' He spoke to the effect that! his criticism was based upon something of a 'grand scale' and he realized that Alfred's facilities were not com- parable to the facilities of this 'grand scale.' We wonder just what else this secondary critic wishes to have written

seniors of the Alfred-Almond School; they try to produce the best. They are not antagonized by a fairly stated opinion that they do not always attain the 'best;' whether the particular statcinen't be true or false.

corporal punishment is not needed, for more is gained through understanding and decency than through forbidding women their natural desire for a social life. If a student is not mature enough for college after her freshman year there is no need for regulation for the value of her college education.

Why shall all suffer for a few? Give the girls a chance and pave the way

for our fellas and girls who deserve a break and set Alfred as an example of modern decency and fair play. We are neither children nor undeserving of the basic freedom we seek. How can we ever grow responsible without being given responsibility !

In writing this I am seeking an answer by those who are opposed to my views, but above even this, I seek a level of agreement which might im- prove the respect and understanding of those who believe in freedom and fair play.

Ric Wolfe

From the A. U. student publication of June, 1877, we find that 'The life of Alfred Center is Alfred University. If the school should cease to exist the village would soon be deader than Julius Caesar...' and that 'the stories afloat about one student or another during the year could fill quite a volume.'

Another of those persistant evils is 'endless and reasonless grumbling a sour and dyspeptic whining and growling about eveything that is done and is not done. Take off your coats, and help in the struggles of progress, and you will feel better, ye whining

ones.

Oh well, perhaps in 1984.

This week the F. L. received a whole passel of letters (three) from what seems to be the fine hand of one writer. The critic roundly discusses the Editor, the F. L., its writers, its letter-writers, its drama critic of last week, the Footlight production of last week, the director of this production, St. Pat, the dirty jokes, the Ubangis, and so on.

Inasmuch as this writer claims to have read 'thousands of newspapers' and to have been the editor of 'a service paper for over two years.' and as he feels none too gentle with the 'dear ol' F. L.' for its mistakes in the same line, we feel that we might ask the critic to come in and correct his spelling and his punctuation, his diction and his grammar. Also, he might (it's considered good practice) verify his 'facts.' *We see that 'ser-

ten years of previous education, but all courses run for five years with an additional three years required for the first graduate degree. The en- trance to colleges and universities is based on standards similar to those at American schools (previous grades and competitive examinations.) Once admitted to college, almost all the Russian students go on complete scholarships. Students receive month- ly stipends which range from 300 to 700 rubles ($75 to$ 175) This covers their tuition of 400 rubles a year, as well as room, board, books and some1

spending money. An extra 25 per cent bonus is given to students who achieve good and excellent marks. It is also the policy that upperclassmen receive larger scholarships than the under- classmen.

After graduation, in return for their scholarships, students must work on a government job for three years.

They have a choice of jobs but no two people ever compete for the same job. As for military service, students are deferred while they are in school arid usually after they have graduated as well. This is due to the fact that, ,

Alfred has been assigned another country to represent at the Model United Nations. Besides Poland and South Korea, Alfred will also have Haiti. John Trepasso, Rose DeCarlo, David Cohen and Marshall Bord will be the representatives to this country.

Haiti shares the island called His- paniola with the Domican Republic.

This small island was originally discovered by Columbus, but was taken over by French interests.' At the beginning of the nineteenth century Hlaiti won its independence after a bloody uprising of the slave population of the island against the few French officials and plantation own- ers.

At the present time Haiti is. a sort of Republic following the usual course of events in most South American countries.

The island contains powerful Amer- ican sugar and fruit interests. It is also receiving American aid under the point four program. Due to its geographic location in the Caribean and the American economic interests, Haiti will follow closely any proposals made by the United States in the Un- ited Nations. It is technically part of the South American group and will caucus with those countries of South and Central America.

Alfred is in a singular position because of the countries we are repre- senting. With Haiti a country of the United States, Poland, a solid Soviet, bloc country and South Korea, looking out primarily for South Korea, it should be interesting to watch the various groups taking the positions of their respective nations.

The Student Senate granted the delegation, which now consists of nine members, sixty dollars, to pay for their expenses during the conferences, and any other expenditures which they may incur in their official capacity.

Senate

A number of constructive ideas were brought out in the March 23 meeting of the Student Senate.

1.) The Senate is appropriating $60.

to the Model United Nations delegation from Alfred. Since Alfred is going to represent Poland, Haiti and South Korea the expenditures are naturally great and the support was needed.

2.) Phil Stein was elected to be a delegate of the senate on the Men's Athletic Governing Board.

3.) A rule stated in the constitution but not previously enforced, will, in the future be strictly upheld. If the representatives of any house or unit on campus miss any two meetings, they will be dropped from the Senate and that house will lose its vote for the term.

4.) A suggestion that all of the twenty clubs on campus be represented on the Senate was voiced. Ths idea will be discussed In the various houses this week and decided upon at the next meeting. *

5.) It was suggested that each class should be responsible for a constructive project each year. The activities of the class should be reported to the Senate once a month. This plan will provide many more activities on the campus, and can be responsible for a closer knit class unit in the future.

An example of the kind of project de- sired is the Dixieland Jazz concert being sponsored by the Sophmore-Junior Class in behalf of the Community Chest Drive.

6.) The new treasurer of the Senate is Paul Goodridge. The secretary ia Audrey Ansorge.

7.) Among the new members of the senate are: Paul Goodridge and Connie Lefkowitz. from Klan Alpine; Wayne Decker and Erf Porter from Lambda Chi; Irene Rosenblatt from Pi Alpha PI; Judy Koch from Alpha Kappa Omicron; Judy Greenberg from Mir-|

riam House; Jane Britting from Sig- ma Chi Nu; Paul Fine and Irv Stein- berg from Kappa Nu; Gil Chillick, president of the junior class and Ron- ald Lehman, president of the senior class.

Latin

Sodalitas Latina of Alfred Univer- sity presented Plautus' "Rudens"

(The Rope) at their meeting Thurs- day evening in the Community House.

The play was a comedy by Plautus (254-184 B.C.).

The cast consisted of Marilyn Childs as Arcturus, a star; Richard Adams as Dalmones, an old man;

Darrell Barber as Sceparnio, his slave and Walter Lowden as Plesidippus. a young gentleman of Cyrene. The parts of the two slave girls, Palaes- tra and Ampelisca, were played by Barbara Scott and Phyllis Burger.

Roland Claus portrayed Trachalio, slave of Plesidippus and Marvin Ros- enthal was Labrax, a villainous slave dealer, his friend Charmides was George Triepel. Merle Arnold played Oripus, a fisherman slave of Dae- mones.

The entire action of the play took place in front of the cottage of Dae- mones, near the sea It is a wind- rough part of the African coast, not very far from the city of Cyrene.

Designers

Niearly every week this term, a group of ceramic designers has been meeting to discuss topics of general interest. Their most recent discussions have been about a constitution which they are beginning to draw up.

The group, which is made up of about thirty students and faculty members usually meets at 7:30 Sunday nights, although this time may often be changed according to the free time of the members. The meetings are held at the residences of the members, who act as discussion leaders.

The discussion topics are decided upon by the members, and are varied.

The group has recently gained a faculty adviser, Professor Klitzke.

Although the group is now made up primarily of design students, any other students and faculty members are welcome.

Orvis Traveling:

InspectingTech- nique In Israel

Paul B. Orvis, Ag-Tech Director, who has been recently elected a member of the Board of Directors of the American Farm School in Greece, de- parted by plane March 27 from New York on a 6,0OU mile flight to Tel, Aviv, Israel, where he will spend two

weeks.

In an interview about the trip, Di- rector Orvis said that the israel and United State governments have ap- proached him about the possibility of recruiting a team of technicians and specialists to go to Israel for a minimum period of two years, and possibly longer, to assist the Israel-

ian government in the rehabilitation of its agriculture.

"My immediate purpose in making this trip," he continued, "is to study this problem in cooperation with the Israelian government and to deter- mine if Ag-Tech wishes to enter into such a contract, which would be drawn with the State University of New York and then assigned to Ag- Tech for its operation."

Orvis said that he would also de- termine the exact type of personnel for the project. He added that assistance to Israel would be provided in the fields of research, extension and education.

To carry out these combined pro- grams, tentative plans call for specialists, in farm machinery, forage crops, plant diseases, animal nutrition, vet- erinary medicine, irrigation and home economics.

Orvis indicated that these specialists would be recruited largely from New York State and to a considerable ex- tent, from the State University.
