Zoldan Proposes Amendment;
Requests "Progress" Reports
by Karen Yorkey
An amendment to the Senate By-Laws that would give the Sen- ate authority over fraternity dis- criminatory clauses was proposed by President Alex Zcildan at a spe- cial session of the Student Senate last Thursday.
Ail campus organizations having 'discriminatory clauses or religious or racial requirements would be required to submit a progress re- port to the Senate if the Senate (Should demand one. The report, ac- cording to the proposed amend- ment, would be concerned with
"»progress toward the elimination
iotf miles or clauses" that are dis- criminatory in nature.
According to tihe Senate By-Daws as they presently exist, the Son- ate can review and ,veto any rule of another student organization except for a national organization and fraternities and sororities. The proposal would give the Seriate jurisdiction in cases only where discriminatory clauses exist; gen- eral rules a n d regulations of fra- ternities and. sororities would not be affected.

MacDonnell to Quit Teaching
Dr. Malcolm F. MacDonnell, Asst. Professor of Psychology, has been awarded a minimum two years fellowship at Yale Univer- sity Medical School. He will leave Alfred in June.
Dr. MacDonnell will be working in the basic biological science unit of the Department of Psychiatry.
The purpose of this research pro- ject is to find a multi-disciplinary approach to problems In psychia- trics. Each member of the unit ap- proaches the problems through his own a r e a — i.e., biology, neurology, psychiatry — and learns something about the other areas at the same time. Dr. MacDonnell will be work- ing in the neurophysiology labor- atory.
Dr. MacDonnell h a s no f u r t h e r specific plans for the future, ex- cept possibly a research position.
He h a s taught experimental psy- chology at Alfred for the past five
years, but does not plan to return express their opinions and to di- to teaching. I rect questions to the panel.
Scientific Training Cannot Be Bought, Declares Prof. Renner
The American appoarch to creating scientists was criticized by Dr. Natasha Renner, Associate Professor of Physics, in an address to the American Association of Physics Teachers in New York, January 24. Dr. Renner claimed that the new trend to mass produce scientists is failing because the emphasis has been placed on material gain rather than intellectual understanding.
The first distinction sihe made was thait between a scientist and a technician. A technician, as de- fined by Dr. Renner, is one who can apply memorized facts to spe- cific situations, whereas a scien- tist is one wiho understands. Amer- ican colleges a r e capable of pro- . . . . . . . . duciing technicians and have ac-
hundred people attended, most of 6 ,. .
comiplished this at the expense ol the would be scientist, " t h e sci- entist is a member of the elite, and should be taught by members of the elite."
NO INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY America has poured millions of dollars into scientific education but dollars cannot buy intellectual capacity, the prime prerequisite for becoming a scientist In short, the masses are just not qualified to became scientists. Mlany stu- dents are lured into scientific fields by promises of high salary job opportunities. Colleges a r e forced to produce graduates to fill t h e s e positions but it is impossible to mass produce scientists, the in- tellectuals. They must have spec- An important aspect of this train- ial training.

Panel To Discuss Liberal Education
Thursday's assembly program will consist of a panel discussion of liberal education sponsored by Pi Delta Epsilon, national honorary journalism fraternity.
T h e panel will be composed o4 Dr. David Ohara, Mrs. Dr. Theresa Shapiro, Mr. Richard Pearce, and Mrs. Garrett Droppers, Alfred Uni- versity faculty members. It will be moderated by Neal Gantcher, president of Pi Delta Epsilon.
The panel members will discuss liberal education, what is needed in education today, and, more spec- ifically, what is needed a t Alfred.
Their discussion will also touch on the upper and lower divisions and the comprehensixe exams in the College of Liberal Arts.
Opening statements will be made by the panel members. There will be an .opportunity for students to'
memorizing facits for specific tests and not encouraged to understand.
Lack of time is a common cause of this malady but Dr. Renner sug- gests t h a t the few intellectuals be provided ith the time and the in- tellectual atmosphere. "Tihe ap- proach and the emphasis should be placed on understanding versus passing specific tests, learning ver- isus memorizing, time consuming reflections versus speedy accmmu-
afcion of facts."
PHYSICS PREREQUISITE As a specific course physics is a prerequisite for all science-re- lated majors. T h u s aspiring Phy- sicists find their basic physics course filled with those interests
lie in other scientific and even toon-sfctienfciffic fileds. These sttiur ly by pressure and their lack of in- terests hinders the physics major.
Many schools are, Dr. Renner re- ports, improving their physics de- partments by increasing the am- mount of available modern e q u i p m e n t with which t h e scientist can experimente on his own, but qual- ified personnel a r e still sadly lacking.
America m u s t stand back and take an objective look a t its edu- cational system in order to P ro-
th e Senate a t any regular meet- ing other than the one a t which the amendment is proposed, or a 2/3 vote of the student body. It ia expected that the proposal will be voted on at tonight's meeting.
Zoldan stated that the amend- ment was worked out with t h e delegates of Lambda Chi, but t h a t
¡Lambda Chi had decided not t o support it. John Gutierrez, spokes- m a n for Laanibda Chi, told the Sen- ate that a special house meeting of his fraternity had been held ear- lier 'that day, and that the amend- m e n t was opposed because it waa too "vague:" He said that there was no provision for how often a report would be demanded, and there was fear t h a t the Senate would be unreasonable.
:Other Senate members opposed 'the amendment because it appear- ed to be too much of a compro- mise from the original purpose of the rally (which is still scheduled f o r Friday evening), and might be entirely "ineffectual."
Zoldan told the Senate that t h e amendment would give the stu- dents, through its Senate, respon- sibility for eliminating discrimina- tion, rather than put it in the hands of the administration. H e agreed t h a t the '"method" of fight- ing discrimination a® different from last week's action (Calling for the rally), but that the purpose was the same.
Strong Opposition
The proposal generally waa greeted with strong opposition. I t appeared to be a compromise t h a t pleased nobody. Many felt that t h e amendment was a n improper in- terference by the Senate in the in- ternal affairs of fraternities; oth- er® felt that it was too much of a compromise of the entire fight against discrimination, and still others felt that the Senate would use such power unreasonably 'against Lambda Chi.
T h e r e was also opposition to t h e way in which Zoldan conducted t h e meeting. He was accused of in- fluencing defbate from the chair a n d ignoring parliamentary pro- cedure. At one point, the Senate voted to have Zoldan t u r n t h e chair over to Vive-President Ste- phen Gordon, but it was pointed out that Zoldan could keep the chair because he had stopped stat- ing opinions.

geared requirements dull and un- interesting. They are not w h a t he needs to accomplish his goal. The scientist is forced to conform to dents are drawn into the course on-
cation from which they can de- rive understanding and still edu- cate the masses. Dr. Renner feels the emphasis should be changed
Designer Speaks At Guild Meeting
T h e Alfred Guild held its month- ly meeting in Binns-Merrill Hall last Thursday. The group was ad- dressed by designer Wayne Husted of the Blenko Glass Company ot Milton, W. Via.
MT. Husted spoke on his experi- ence as a designer and the mechan- ics that an industrial designer goea through to execute his designs.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Husted a r e graduates otf Alfred University.
Mr. Husted h a s done several pri- vate designing commissions. He re- cently designed a series of church pews, and also does some work for an aluminum company.
The Blenko Glass Company ia one of the few remaining producers from monetary gain to intellectual i of handblown glass. Some of their achievement work is sold in Alfred.

Eight Brazilian Engineers Say Alired Is A Very Friendly Place
A group at Brasilia® engineers. for all Americans wihen it is put in visiting Alfred last week described i to practice.
It as the friendliest and most hos- pitable place tihey had seen so far on their tour of eastern United States.
The group is composed of eight mechanical, civil, and electrical engineers from Roo De Janeiro, and a State Department guide. The engineers, all December graduates of the Escola Nacional de Engen- t a r í a De Universidaide Do Brasil, are on a would tour to see the technical achievements and cul- tures of other countries.
They have all found America and Americans sunprising. The American tourists they knew in Brazil were very serious and hjaird working, and those tlhey had met thus Car on their tour were friend- ly and hospitable.
Their stay in Alfred Has intro- duced them to snow and to the twist for the first time. The boys feaid that American girds' don't dress differently from those in Brazil, but American boys do.
According to one member of the group, they feed that Pres.
Kennedy's Alliance for. Progress
•During their stay in Alfred, t'he engineers were shown the campus, the Ag-TeCh school, and the Cera- mic College. They expressed an interest in the design department and did some actual work on the potting wheel. At an impromptu party in the Campus Center they learned the twist and showed Al- fred's students some Brazilian mus- ic and dances. On Tuesday night they visited the home of Dr. and Mrs. Rodriguez-Diaz, and then jour- neyed to Coming Glass works on Wednesday.
Their tour began Jan. 24 and will enid Feb. 21. From the U. S.
they go to Europe where they will spend five months visiting 17 countries. They will return to Bra- zil in September or October after spending two months in Asia.
The group wishes to thank the Alfred students for their hospi- tality, and especially Deans John F. Mcahon amd Paul F. Powers, Mrs. Eleanor Plaiisted of the Cam
When tht group arrived in Hor- nell at 2:30 a.m. Mooday morning and found they could not afford the hotel rates, they were obliged to spend the night in the Hornell jail. Dean Powers picked them up there early Tuesday morning and instaled them in a motel.
Blackout Hits Alired Campus
Due to excessive cold weather without snow, plus a day of thaw- j ing, the whole Alfred University | campus was in the dark for about 40 minutes on Wednesday, Jan. 24.
The main switch, which is in the Men's Gym, sends out several main lines to various groups of build- ings on campus. In this particular instance, the line which lights Kruson Hall, Heriiick Lafbrary, and South Hall, had a short. The thaw- ed water backed up and froze at the splicing point where three lines go to Krusom and three go to
National Progress Evident As Discrimination Is Condemned
The decision of the Student Sen- ate to require the elimination of discriminatory clauses is by mo means a revolutionary move. Sim- ilar action has been taken in col- leges and universities throughout the country, especially in the last decade.
Alfred University has made some progress since President Drake's 19&7 statement (reprinted in the last FIAT LUX). In an announce- m e n t dated Feb. 28, 1961, Dr.
Drake stated that "Undergraduate and alumni members of fraternities having such clauses are expected to make the necessary changes without undue delay." This is a much stronger and more positive attitude than was expressed in the earlier statement. In fact, the Presi- dent went on to say that "it Is hopefully anticipated thiait the next report on this matter will show that no fraternity on the Alfred University campus has discrimina- tory clauses in Its Charter or by-
h a s been nothing more than theory | their appreciation to the Hornell ontil now, but that it wild be good Police Force for their help.
Kappa Psi Issues Statement On Future Elimination Of Clause
The following is a statement giv- en to the Fiat Lux by Kappa Psi XJpsilon fraternity. Kappa Psi is a local fraternity which has a clause in its charter limiting membership to Christians.
In the past few weeks there has been much misunderstanding abut the ''sectarian issue." Kappa Psi would like to clear up some of this misunderstanding. We have been silent the past few weeks try- ing to avoid fuel to the artificial fire started by Alex Zoldan.
We do ndt, and can not defend our clause which permits only Christians to be members of Kappa Psi on moral grounds. The pro- blem, therefore, is not one of an ethical nature, but one of a leg- islative character. It is upon this legislative problem that we a t Kappa Psi have focused our atten- tion.
Kappa Psi is a local fraternity.
However, to change our constitu- tion we are faced with a situa- tion that is beyond local autonomy.
In order to remove our "Christian only" clause we need a favorable

brothers. Just contacting all these brothers is a difficult task. BE- FORE the Student Senate propos- ed the rally (or what ever the name may be toned down to) the brothers of Kappa Psi voted .to send ballots to all living brothers.
With the ballots, information is to be sent regarding the present sit- uation at Alfred and it is antici- pated that we will receive a favor- able vote. Until this vote is re- ceived it is impossible for the pre- sent brothers of Kappa Psi to make any changes regarding this '^Christian only" clause.
We regret the unfortunate situ- ation that has been initiated by Alex Zoldan. It has been and still is our intention to change our-
"Christian only" clause. We do not, however, wish to have our in ternal progress appear to be as a result on an outsiide force. Ecpec-- ilally since this force doesn't have the power to interfere with the j internal workings of a fraternity.
We can promise progress but it Won't be as a result of campus politics; it will occur as a result of the efforts of the brothers of
According to Mr. Fred Palmer, Supt. of Buildings and Grounds, the actual short was caused by water getting into the insulated wire at the splice and freezing there.
The lines run from the Men's Gym to the tehnis courts and down a n electric pole underground to a point where one cattle goes to (South Hall and the other to a transformer in Kruson where the
4»800 high-voltage current is then distributed to Her rick Library and the Brick kitchen.
To repair the cable, current had to be killed completely in the three buildings. The short knocked out the main circuit in the Men's Gym and the campus was in total dark- mess until it could be fixed. Mr.
Palmer also said that due to na- ture, an uncontrolalttle device, this type of thing happens once or twice in the course of a year. In the case of extensive time with- out power, the university has an auxiliary generator so that the campus will not be without heat.
This change in the administra- tion's attitude, plus whatever pro- gress has been made, does not war- rant Alfred's being called a lead- er in the |HeM of eliminating dis- crimination. Rather, the University is just getting around to some- thing that has to and ought to be done.
First Action
In the summer issue of Rattle, fraternity magazine of Theta Chi, Herbert L. Brown, chairman of the National Interfratemity Confer- ence Autonomy Committee, discuss- ed discriminatory clauses as a problem that must be dealt with by fraternities.
Brown's article said that the
"'first direct attack upon the right of a fraternity's freedom of choice came in 1946." Alt that time, the trustees of Amherst College decid- ed that all fraternities not deleting such clauses would be compelled to leave the campus. As a result, three nationals either revoked or suspended their charters at Am- herst.
Three years later, Brown states, the University of Connecticut set 1961 as the deadline f a r removal of the clauses. At that time, four fraternities and one sorority with- drew their chapters.
Deadlines Set
The article mentions several oth- er colleges and universities at which similar action h a s been taken. The following schools set up definite dates as the deadline for clause removal: American Uni- versity (1961), Chicago (1961), Co- lorado (1962, Columbia (1964), Dartmouth (1960), Massachusetts (1960), Rutgers (I960), Vermont (1962), Wayne (I960'), Wesleyan (1960), Wisconsin (I960).
According to Brown's article, other institutions, among them Michigan and Temple, have not set dates for removal, but have required gradual progress. How- ever, each group affected at these schools has tto show satisfactory evidence of such progress.
Through work of this kind, Brown writes, many of the clauses have been removed. Twenty-five years ago, 29 of the memlber frater- nities of the National Interirater- nity Conference had clauses. To- day, Brown reports, there are only three.

I.S.C. President Calls First Week Important
Sorority rushing began yester- day and will continue tor three -weeks under the direction oi the Intersorority Council.
This weel£ the rush class, com- posed mainly of freshmen and a few upper-claas transfer students, is divided into eight groups with each group attending cme 46-min- ute party at each of the four soro- rity houses on campus, Alpha Kap- pa Omicron, PS Alpha Pi, Sigma CM Nu, and Theta Theta Chi. All rushees are invited to all tour par- ties for thier group.
Jane Henckel, US.<3. president, urges all rushees to be sure to attend this first week of formal rushing. Any girl failing to attend all tour of the parties is ineligi- ble tor any kind of rushing this year, and next year must go
•through the first week of rushing again or sign a paper saying that she will never join a sorority on t h e Alfred campus, and so will be allowed to enter the sorority houses.
Next week there will be invite- back parties on Monday and Thurs- day evenings, with two parties each night. That Saturday after- noon there will also be four Invite- back parties.
The following, third and fin:al, week of rushing consists of con- flict parties Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights. A rushee re- ceives invitations to two parties a t the same time and must de- cide which house she would rather visit. Thursday night of this week is a general invite-hack with tour parties.
During these three weeks con vernation during the day between sorority girls and rushees is lim- ited to absolutely essential busi- ness and a "hello" in greeting on the street.
Bach sorority has a "day in the dorm" each week, on which its members may visit rushees in their rooms and have "coffee dates"
with them in the Campus Center.
Thursday, Mar. 1, following the last party, and absolute silence period begins and lasts until pledg- ing ceremonies .the following Mon- day night at each of the houses.
The only exception to this silence
<period is from 2 to 4 pjm. Mar. 4, Preferential Sunday, when rushees visit the houses of their choice.
That Sunday evening each rush- ee signs a bid listing the houses of her choice in, the order of her preference. Each sorority votes on;
the rushees and makes up a list j of the girls they want in the order i of their preference. These lists and (
bids are compared by a faculty member and then a list returned to each sorority of the girls to whom they may give bids. These bids are distributed Monday in the dorms. That night if a girl wishes to accept the hid she received, she oges to the sorority house for a pledging ceremony.
Frosh Class Meeting
There will be a meeting of the Freshman Class, tomorrow night at 7 p.m., In Alumni Hall, Presi- dent Bill Vanech has announced.
"The Merchant"
To Be Done By Footlight Club
The Alfred University Footilght Club will present "The Merchant of Venice' 'under the direction of
Prof. Ronald Brown on Mar. 9 and 10.
The club described the play as one of Shakespeare's best known comedies which has been acclaim- ed as a universal social comment.
It speaks well for the need to break down natural barriers and the necessity for mankind to ac-
cept his brothers in the struggle for a unified world.
"The Merchant of Venive" hat) been noted tor its universal and modern overtones, yet, by some, is considered an anti-semitic play.
The basis for this veiw seems to he in Shakespeare's portrayal of Shy lock as the typical evil money 'lender. However, it must be noted that Shakespeare, with his ability to note a basic duality in life, hlas given weight and believability to Shylocfc's cues tor justice.
The oast for "The Merchant of Venice" has been chosen and in- cluded: Larry Alderstein, Pasquale DeBlasi, Orlando DelValle, Charles DiCostanza, Harriet Goodwin, Bet- ty Gray, Robert Klein, Anthony Hawkins, Steve Snow, William I Vianech, Blaine Zncooni, and Roy
Zimmerman.

'No Bridge Here'
A.U Student Reports on Student Life In France
The following is a report .on French student life by Marcia Horo- witz, an 'Alfred Liberal Arts student who is spending her junior year at the Institute for American Universities in France. Among other things, Marcia points out the lack of student organization in France and the greater interest in politics 'than American students have. She also tells of her contact with the French Secret Army Organization.
American students pass time in the end of May and many stu- Qampus Centers; the French stu- dents do not begin any serious stu- dents pass time in cafes. This is dying until March. The cut system
•one of the few similarities between is non-existent. (The Institute for American and French students that
I've been able to find.
I am not capable of broad so- ciological or psychological gener- alizations, but intuitions, two eyes, and some French friends are aids in understanding the differences.
One glimpse will tell you that we don't look alike. A French girl would never wear bobbie socks and sneakers. It's high heels and short skirts all the time (even if she must glide on her motor bike).
The boys would never think of having a crew-cut. Short hair is just passe. Finally, most of the students are 20-24 years old, ra- ther than 18-22.
As for their University system, it's quite alien to ours. There is very little, if any, personal contact between professor and student. The professor walks in a special door, the students stand up tor him, he lectures, and leaves through this same door. Exams are not until

NOTHING SAYS IT LIKE YOUR VOICE
American Studies, my college this years, holds to all American tra- ditions which makes athe contrast
seem even greater).
When I say I must go home to study for an exam or write a pa- per, I am overwhelmed with ex- clamations about the "ambitious and hard-working American student
in Aix." (Just wait until May).
T h e French students are not very
"sportive." Their ideal is still the intellectual, although exercise is becoming more and more impor- tant. Instead of letting all excess energy out at a football game, the French let it out in the dinner lines. The pushing and shoving make the New York subway seem like a playground, hut it is all worth it once you get inside. F o r 22 cents you get a four-oourse meal which can be termed "deli- cious."
Student organization Is really unheard of here. The Bilingual CluJb for English and French speak- ing students, the O.A.S. (Secret Army Organization), and the Com- munists are about the only three organized groups I know of.
You've probafbly heard quite a bit about the O.A.Q. lately. A fairly good analysis on the Algerian situ- ation is in Time Magazine of Jam.
26. (The story and cover have foeen banned in France). The more I learn of the situation, the more I see the impossibilities. Thta brings out another difference. The French are very interested in poll- tics. I showed my French brother Alain a copy of Mad Magazine. H e looked through it and was amazed that there were no political sft- tires. "This could never be in France," he said. In America t h e students miarch for integration and disarmament, but here the one march I saw w a s for "Algierfe Francattse"—eoon broken up by the police.

and proposing to them, then kiss- ing them on both cheeks in t r u e French style (nice customs, these French have).
.Student life in general Is much more individual. There is not on«
Campus Center but many c a f e s - each catering to certain groups. (I personally like "Les Deax Garcon"
—Picasso's favorite). Since there Is no real campus, this Is what French students call home.

A Plea For Reason An Editorial
Without a doubt, the booby prize of the year belongs to Alex Zoldan. He has managed so to bemuddle and confuse his own purpose and that of the Senate that the possibility of positive Senate action on discriminatory claus- es seems pretty hopeless.
The issue that was raised, which is impor- tant, urgent, and legitimate, has been complete- ly lost sight of, and in its place there is some- thing approaching student government anar- chy. Understanding and comprehension is nom- existant; rebellion agaisnt the Senate leader- ship is rampant Zoldan failed to win the con- fidence of his Senate; he even failed in making them understand what he was trying to do.
As a result, the Senate, instead of considering and voting on an issue and a related constitu- tional amendment, is wrapped up in personal jealousy, fraternity rivalry, and bloc power struggles.
Zoldan, however noble his intentions, is not the most tactful person in the world. He's not a very clever politician; in fact, he's a pretty bad one. He is aware of, or is disinter- ested in, parliamentary procedure (though the Senate constitution requires the Vice President, rather than the President, to be versed in Robert's Rules of Order and to see that Senate sessions are run in accordance with them).
There are times when he appears to be some- what unfamiliar with his own Senate constitu tion.
Despite Zoldan's shortcomings, and unless an adequate substitute is found, the threatened collapse of the Constitutional amendment would destroy effective student government.
It would prevent the real desire of the vast majority of the student body from being re- alized, because of personal hostility and dis- likes. It would be a useless revolt against the trend of the
times. And it would leave as the only apparent alternative nothing short of action stemming from petition (supposedly, those circulating the petitions calling for Ad- ministration action to remove thp clauses can obtain the number of signatures necessary to cause such action by the Administration).
If the amendment were taken by itself, most of the campus would favor it. However, it has been clouded by several wrong impres- sions and misrepresentations which, should be cleared up: ' ,
l)Many believe that the Senate has no right to interfere with the workings of fraternities.
They feel the Senate would be interfering in their internal affairs. However, the everyday rules and provisions of the fraternities would not be impaired or otherwise subjected to Sen- ate jurisdiction. They are protected against any Senate action by Section 3 of the By-Laws, and this provision remains in effect even if the amendment is adopted. The only thing that would be affected are clauses or entrance re- quirements that are based on religious or ra- cial grounds. The Senate would not be extra- legal in exercising authority here. Discrimin- atory clauses
are opposed to the ideals of the University itself. Student governments else- where have taken similar action; the Senate's present Constitution provides complete jus- tification for such action anyway. Section 1
of the By-Laws states that "The Student Sen- ate shall possess the highest student authority over all phases of campus life and student ac- tivities."
2 ) It i^ felt that the Senate might be unrea- sonable in its demands. The is very unlikely.
The demand for the progress report, and ac- ceptance or rejection of same, is left up to the entire Senate, not the Senate President; and the make-up of the Senate is not about to change. Each house will still have its voting delegates in the Senate. Furthermore, the Sen- ate has never yet used its present power to
"review and to veto any rule . . . of any other student organization." It is not readily con- ceivable that it will try to do so with fraterni- ties.
3) Some believe that the Senate can't do any- thing anyway, so why bother. No one ever said that the Student Senate can tell a frater- nity or sorority to abolish a portion of its con- stitution. The Senate obviously has no such power, or will it gain this power from propos- ed amendment. The purpose of the Senate, as I stated in the Preamble to the Constitution, is]
"to act as the official voice through which student opinion may be carried to officials . . . of the University . . ." The Administration has in the past been careful to take note of stu- dent opinion, and has usually acted according- ly/There is every indication that the Admin- istration will, if convinced that the student body is dissatisfied with present conditions take appropriation action.
' 4) It is believed by some that the entire issue is nothing more than an effort by Alex Zoldan to gain power. This is absurd, and no one who bothers to thik out the situation could, in good conscience, possibly believe it. Zoldan's term of office does not have long to go. Senate elec- tions are late next month. There is very little time in which he could effectively exercise
•such"power". Besides, he has made the Senate wary of his actions through his clumsy tac- tics, and it is highly doubtful whether Mr. Zol- dan will ever be as powerful as he was.
6) There is also the feeling that the amendment is vague. This is its major weakness. It sets no limit to the number of reports that could be demanded in any period of time, nor ddes it make plain what "progress" really is. How- ever, the Senate body will make the decisions, not the President. It's rather far-fetched to insinuate that some day the Senate will be controlled by <an Ambitious, untrustworthy, and unreasonable group which will abuse these provisions; its membership is to broad for that to happen.
As can be readily seen, the proposed a- mendment really is not a Zoldan power scheme directed against arch-enemy Lambda Chi.
Emotions, distortions, and a basic failure on the part of the students to think have made the situation much more complicated than it really is. If, for a change, this campus can rid itself of personal antipathy and if student gov- ernment members can look at the proposal with a clear mind and treat it for what it is, it should be very difficult indeed for the Sen- ate to do its job faithfully and still defeat the proposed amendment.

Senate Yes—Rally No
Dear Editor:
I must adimit, having been off campus for a semester, t h a t I may be somewhat uninformed on stu- dent affairs alt Alfred. However, I thdnik It might enable me to look a t the situation a little more ob- jectively than those of you living in the middle of it. 1'im writing, essentially, to agree with the fore- sighted views of Bob EWngman.
My main source of newis from Alfred is the Pi at, which I feel is doing an excellent jab in report- ing the happenings on campus and especially in presenting varied opinions of tfie major problems that anise periodically. I find it hard to believe t h a t the staff could have missed so juicy a n item as discrimination in frater- nities during the past eight or ten weeks if it had been a m a j o r source of aggravation a t Alfred.
Yet, this week's Fiat is the first since rushing in which I've seen any mention of the situation, and already it has taken on the da mensions of a small scale war!
Life on any college campus is not a normal life. It revolves a- round a rigorous schedule of men- t a l exercise, dizzy social activities, and lack of sleep, it's a situation in which emotions can easily get out of hand.
As f a r as I can see, this rally will accomplish nothing construc- tive, and will serve only to "in- crease friction between certain fraternities." I agree wholeheart- edly that the Senate should be the organization to take action In pro- test, but why stop t h e r e ? W h y should a student body "goad the administration into doing SOME- THING" about certain members of the student body?
The Senlate, as the representative organ of the student body might take a much more laudable stand on the issue by organizing a com- mittee of active, responsible stu- dents t o conduct Intensive re- search on the position of the fra- ternities in question, and work out methods to aid and protect them during the period of transition.
Then, the student body oould set a deadline or not, as it sees fit, a n d proceed to carry out these ipllans in cooperation with the or- ganizations in question, not against them.
i t seems reasonable t h a t a sec- tarian fraternity, pressured into removing the physioal discrimina- t o r y clause will be resentful of the
| grouip who applied this pressure, I and continue to be sectarian in ' principle. However, if the mem- j bens of thait f r a t e r n i t y truly believe
ithat the clause Is "morally wrong"
tlhey will welcome help in remov-
ing it, without costing their house or their, organization.
I'm convinced that Alex Zoldan and the Senate are right in their concern over the problem of dis- crimination. at Alfred, and I agree, too, that "progress" in the mlatter needs a boost. I sincerely hope that I'll have the opportunity to read, in coming months, t h a t peace- ful action is being taken to remove
•the discriminatory clause f r o m f r a t e r n i t y charters in' which i t exists. However, I will be most happy to find that a once apathe- tic dam puis is not only making noise, but also taking action in t h e m a t t e r s that concern them.

Petition
Dear Editor:
T h e r e exists a pervasive opinion among the students and faculty that the m a j o r issues involved in 'the f r a t e r n i t y discrimination de- bate on. this oamipus have been sub- verted by the irrelevant personality clashes t h a t have stemmed f r o m the Student Senate meetings.
The main issues have thus been clouded over and a lucid re-evalua- tion of these issues seems neces- sary. Simply, they a r e t h a t (1) the elimination of the discrimina- tory clauses in fraternities is long overdue, (2) these clauses m u s t be eliminated in order t h a t any Im- provement in man's relationship with man may occur, (3) if a cann- pus as diversified a s t h a t of Al- f r e d University cannot be success- fully integrated, Where can this oc- c u r !
T h e r e are only two methods aivailable a t the present time ca- pahle of achieving the elimination of the discriminatory clauses In the fraternities' charters.
One of these methods h a s been tried and will be tried a t t h e Stu- dent Senate meeting tonight. This is a measure which leaves the de- cisions and almost all action com- pletely up to the fraternities in question. But this method h a s not worked and the bill being -voted upon tonight almost certainly will not be passed.

I N Q U I R Y
by Robert Gottlieb
At the past two Student Seriate meetings discrimination on campus has been the topic of discussion. To this observer it seems that the issue has gotten out out of hand; moderation is necessary. Things have been said and implied which have caused much ill will between the students as well as toward their leaders. Where the fault lies can not be completely deter- mined but some things are obvious. The past issue of the Fiat has incurred much criticism, resulting in hostile feelings with regard to the rally. Mr. Zoldan's methods at the meetings have also been, to many people, not what they should have been, causing antagonism towards actions he' favors. The issue has become clouded, but certain things must remain clear.
The problem of bigotry is not only found on Alfred's cam- pus • it is a universal one. Discrimination on Alfred's campus is
& blot on its reputation. It must eventually be abolished; it has no place in the college community.
Discrimination with regard to race or religion can not be acceptable to the college student; it is an anachronism. But reckless actions without careful consideration can only -cause
hostility. It is necessary to show forethought, discretion and un- derstanding with regard to the issues in volved..It is not only the job of the individual student but the duty of the fraternit- ies involved.
Lambda Chi has claimed that they do not want their dis- criminatory clause, but to remain a member of their National they must abide by this clause. They also maintain if they go non-sectarian their Alumni Club, which owns their house will take it away from them. With regard to Kappa Psi the situation is different though they do have the problem of convincing their alumni to agree to the abolishment of the discriminatory clauses. These two fraternities feel that there is continual pro- gress toward the time when discrimination will be a thing of the past. These fraternities, if sincere, should be given a chance to demonstrate their sincerity. The "rabble rousing" atmos- phere of a rally is not conducive to such progress. Mr. Zoldan hopes that this rally will be turned into an Assembly of some sort in which the issue will be presented fairly and honestly without animosity.
He has undoubtedly realized that the issue has gotten out of hand and feels that a compromise is preferable to roit action.
This writer agrees with him. The compromise he has proposed will allow time for progress and give the student own organiz- ation an opportunity to handle the problem itself as it has been done in many other schools. Evolution is preferable to revolu- tion. It took more than a quarter of a century for discrimination to be firmly implanted in certain fraternities and to try to over- throw the existing order in one night is impossible. Through patience and restraint discrimination can be eventually removed from this campus without undesirable consequences.

nestlean notions
by Joe Rosenberg The psychology department usu- ally is ¡situated in South Hall. How- ever, in recent weeks this depart- ment may have been switched to Greene Hall, residence for the University mimeograph office and other automatic devices. The rea- son foT this feeling is a missive sent by Mr. William J. O'Connor, Assistant to the President and Secretary of the Parents' Associa- tion. This monumental document in modern thinking concerns the
"E-B's" or Examination Blues and its effects on the students' atti- tudes towards education. In the five semesters I have been in resi- dence at this mother of men, I have never been exposed to this term. Perhaps it has been gleaned from a professional journal or some other esoteric source. I'm sure Madison Avenue will come up with a oure for this malady.
The letter aids the poor bedevil- ed parents subjected to the rigors of the ''E-B's" by translating typi- cal comments made by students in- to their deep psychological mean- ings. First is the comment, "I'm joining the army—college isn't for me; or—we're going to have a dem- onstration . . . " Through a freud- ian-type interpretation this state- ment is translated into "If I don't yell at the top of my voice and mm down the street as fast as I can I'M blow a gasket."
•Biologically speaking, huimans don't have gaskets. Wlhat is wrong with our students wishing to ful- fill their patriotic duty in the Arm- ed Forces? Is Alfred un-American?
Are we going to be investigated?
When was the last demonstration that occurred on the apathetic Al- fred caimpus ? Can't undergraduates believe in something and demon- strate that belief by active pro- test? Onward to the next com- ment.
"The food is like—ugh." Trans- lation—''I miss terribly my iplace at home—the cooking, my own room, your pat on the back." The food is like—ugh. Like—you know the "E-B's." The last time my mo- ther patted me on the back was with a 'broom.
In response to the E-B's, the l e t ter encourages parents to be pa- tient and encouraging because it's a part of growing up. Don't grown- ups ever become depressed or is everybody happy? The letter dos- es on the note that this has been going on ior 126 years. Well, 126 years ago students entered schools to study. They didn't need any parent-iaculty tea parties in order to understand their problems. The parents 126 years ago just forked over the money. There was no orientation period and no psycho- logioal adjustments. Maylbe we'll have psychoanalysis twice a week to help us overcome our anxieties.
Yes, friends we are awakening into a new era in education. After the E-B's comes the MS-B, (Mid Semester Blues), the PQ-B's (Pop Quiz Blues), and finally the GC-B's
(Ootng to Classes Blues). We will become a university of neurotics.
Our professors must have at least a B.A. in psychology.
Abe Lincoln studied law by can- dlelight. Did he have the E-B's too? Maybe he took Miltown? How diid he do it? And before Freud, too.
'Maybe 'IBM would be easier. All you have to do Is grease them.
They don't even have parents. This
"will also save the University from writing letters.

HOW TO BE A BWOC
Ladies, let me be frank. The days of the college year dwindle down to a precious few. And some of you—let's face it—have not yet become BWOC's. Yes, I know, you've been busy what with going to class and walking your cheetah, but really, ladies, becoming a BWOC is so easy if you'll only
1follow a few simple rules.
The first and most basic step on the road to being a BWOC is to attract attention. Get yourself noticed. But be very, very careful not to do it- the wrong way. I mean, any old girl is bound to be noticed if she goes around' with a placard that says,
"HEY! LOOKIT ME!" Don't you make such a horrid gaffe.
On your placard put: "ZUT! REGARDEZ MOI!" This, as you can see, lends a whole new dimension of tone and dignity.
Once you have been noticed, it is no longer necessary to carry the placard. It will suffice if, from time to time, you make distinctive noises. If, for instance, every three or four minutes you cry, "Whippoorwill!" you cannot but stay fresh in the minds of onlookers.
We come now to clothes, a vital accessory to the BWOC—
indeed, to any girl who wishes to remain out of jail. But to the BWOC clothes are more than just a decent cover; they are, it is not too much to say, a way of life.
This spring the "little boy look" is all the rage on campus.
Every coed, in a mad effort to look like a little boy, is wearing short pants, knee sox, and boyshirts. But the BWOC is doing more. She has gone the whole hog in achieving little boyhood.
She has frogs in her pockets, scabs on her knees, down on her upper lip, and is followed everywhere by a dog named Spot.
All this, of course, is only by day. When evening falls and her date comes calling, the BWOC is the very picture of chic fem- ininity. She dresses in severe, simple basic black, relieved only by a fourteen pound charm bracelet. Her hair is exquisitely coiffed, with a fresh rubber band around the pony tail. Her
daytime sneakers have been replaced by fashionable high heeled pumps, and she does not remove them until she gets to the movies.
After the movies, at the campus cafe, the BWOC undergoes her severest test. The true BWOC will never, never, never, order the entire menu. This is gluttony and can only cause one's date to blanch. The true BWOC will pick six or seven good entrees and then have nothing more till dessert. This is class and ia the hallmark of the true BWOC.
Finally, the BWOC, upon being asked by the cigarette vendor which is the brand of her choice, will always reply, "Marlboro, of course!" For any girl knows that a Marlboro in one's hand stamps one instantly as a person of taste and discernment, as the possessor of an educated palate, as a connoisseur of the finer, loftier pleasures. This Marlboro, this badge of savoir-faire, comes to you in flip-top boxes that flip, or in soft packs that are soft, with a filter that filters and a flavor that is flavorful, in all fifty states of the Union and Duluth. © ma h u stmimao
BMOC: Buy Marlboro On Campus. Buy them downtown, too. Either place, you get a lot to like.
