E1DITORI..&L.S Budget

With the appointment of J. Martin Carovano as Hamilton's Acting Provost, we feel that it is time to consider the ways in which student fees are used in the school budget. We hope that the newly created Budget Review Committee will consider the problem of existing inequities and will make concrete proposals to rectify them. In addition to this urgent task, the Committee should investigate the reasons for and results of the college's budgetary system . and enlighten the students, faculty and administration. Specifically, our concern is for the allocation of student room and board payments. Last year, thanks to former Vice President and Provost Paul D. Carter, it became increasingly clear that some portion of students' yearly room and board fees go into the general college fund. That is, not all of the fees is used to buy food, pay overhead costs, maintain good room conditions, and pay for debt service on the dormitories. Unfortunately, such system a discriminates against a large number· of Hamilton students. Clearly, those students paying their room and board fees to fraternities are benefitting from the money paid by others into the general fund.

Student Funds While we students ask information about the use of monies by the college, not enough interest has been taken in the use of student funds by students. Part of the fees paid by all students are handed over to the Hamilton College Student Senate, which allots funds to organizations as it sees fit-within the limits of the Constitution of the Student Body. supervmon of the direct While expenditure of alloted funds would greatly inhibit the freedom of organizations, some measure must be taken by the Student Senate to see that funds are not bady misused and that organizations are not led to financial ruin. Last spring, the Charlataµs exceeded their allotment for their last play by more than $3,000. The Charlatan's.total allotment for the year is $1800. Such management is a calculated form of stealing. It represents a selfishly reckless disregard for 15.00 students and the rules that govern them. This year's Charlatans, under a new :management, claim that though they knew they were going over the budget, they did not know by how much. Allegedly, the incredible overrun is blamed on one student who did the purchasing for the play. The college apparently knew an overrun was in the making, yet it was not stopped. The student has graduated. Hamilton College footed the bill by loaning the money to the Senate, which made a forced loan to the Charlatans. Presently the drama group is indebted for the full sum.

THE SPECTATOR

The organization of the Charlatans 1s responsibl�, even if the present ruembers disclaim a role in the play, but forcing a swift schedule of repayment could cripple the Theater at Hamilton. We cannot expect to cure an ill by killing the patient. Whatever the settlement, it should reasonably maintain the freedom, quality, and quantity of Theater. An additional problem of the incident concerns the fact that the · Kirkland Assembly provides one-third of the Charlatan's budget, yet it is the Hamilton Senate which has been charged to take on the problem. Kirkland must take a cooperative part in any settlement. Hopefully, out of all this will come an enforceable policy to be adopted by the Senate and the Assembly. Present policy of the Senate calls for all expenditures of $200 or ov�r to be countersigned by the Senate Treasurer. It was not e:r;iforce,d. Ultimately, a solution will not be found in policing of organizations, but by students accepting the rules they make and not sabaJoging their own organizations and activities.

Representation The Special Report of the Steering CoJ?mittee Regarding Function of the Kirkland Assembly is a document of thoughtful criticism and comprehensive suggestions. Although the ,report was finally delivered just as everyone left for the summer, its creative proposals must not be forgotten. The .. report suggested a change in the manner of Assembly representation fro� an at-large system to one of representation by dormitory. With the establishment of definite constituencies, every member of the student community wiil know who is · representing her in the Assembly. Each representative will be responsible to glean opinions from her constituents and to explain her vote to her constituents. Through this dialogue, the Assembly would become more responsive to individual students' needs. With Ki�kland now at full enrollment of 600, this change in representation would preserve a close and concerned community. This year's Steering Committee decided at its meeting last Monday that, in order to expedite the election to insure an early first Assembly meeting, the open student meeting would "inform them (the students) of this procedural change and to have them vote on it then and there.!' We urge all Kirkland students to attend the meeting on M.onday at which the decision concerning . Assembly representation will be decided. We are urging the approval of this proposal, but we hope _ that the future conduct of major decisions in .the Kirkland community would be handled in a different manner. Ample prior notice of each proposed change would ensure a more complete dialogue and critical examination of the decision-making at �irkland.

STEERING COMMITTEE Last spring, the Steering Committee of the Kirkland Assembly prepared a special report which critically examined the government of Kirkland and suggested many solutions to problems that were perceived. The report's purpose was twofold: "First, to provide the basis for some needed reforms and...second, to raise the level of discussion, in quality :md in sophistication, about the purpose, legitimacy, and structure of the Assembly." By taking a "deliberately critical stance," the committee hoped to "generate as much insight as possible into its weaknesses and as many proposals as feasible for strengthening its operation." In its analysis of Assembly meetings, the report found that the meetings "originally envisioned as a forum for open debate and legislation, have come to manifest a la<:k of communication within the""" Kirkland community." Making meetings less formal was suggested as a way to bring to the meetings much more "human warmth." Committee structure was called "over-lapping and overly complex," and the report suggests a "simplification of the committee structure. that involves eliminating some standing committees and relying more heavily upon ad hoc and subcommittee liasons." The report suggested more extensive use of open hearings on important issues as a means to assure that members of the community are more aware of a committee's influence upon one's life and activities. To expedite the procedures of elections, referenda, committee staffing, and representation, the report suggests the establishment of uniform election dates when all Assembly elections and referenda will be held. The report suggests employing a dorm representation plan to and the rest of the "strengthen ties between Assembly members .. community." In its assessment of communications, the report concluded that the dissemination of Assembly information was "inadequate." The Steering Committee -has already collated all past actions of the Assembly and is currently preparing a special informational booklet on the Assembly, and both of these tasks were suggestions of the special report to improve communications. Another suggestion to facilitate communication was a regular community meeting, apart from the Assembly, for the dissemination of general information. President Babbitt has already held one of these meetings at Convocation as the first in a series of such informational ,.meetings. The report concluded: "The problems of the Assembly are subtle and complex; they involve such elusive qualities as knowledgeability, trust, pride, a collective undertaking and personal commitment on the " part of every member of the college."

Spectator Stu.ff As in the past the Spectator will run a column entitiled "Comment." It is open to all rpembers of the college communities as a forum of opinion outside the editorial board. We hope everyone will take advantage of it. We would also like to reitierate part of our editorial policy. Editorials concerning Hamilton are written by Hamilton editors in consultation with Kirkland editors; editorials concerning Kirkland ar� written by Kirkland editors in consultation with Hamilton editors; editorials with overlapping priorities are a joint effort. Finally we would urge all freshmen and qpperclassmen to work ·on the newspaper. Positions are open in every area; no one will be turned away. There will be a meeting of everyone interested in working and those already on the staff this Sunday evening at 7:30 in the Spectator Office on the third floor of Bristol.

Dramatist Coffey Examines Mood of 1916 Irish Uprising

Agony at Easter The 1916. Irish

Uprising. By Thomas Coffey. 271 pages. Penguin Books.

Don Heckman in Stereo Review says that "Hubbard is surely the most technically gifted trumpeter to arrive on the scene since Clifford Brown, and he plays with a harmonic intuition that is little short of astonishing."

This tale of sorrows followed naturally from the author's two years of studying Irish literature -­ a literature as full of years of defeat in a lost time as that of our South. Those defeats possess the tragic and mythic dimensions implicit in the notion of heroes and are fit for the playwright in th h ist o r i a n . E v e n t b ec o m e s immortal, ritually re-enacted on the pages of history. Thomas Coffey is a talented dramatist, con scious to the human and transcendent. He designs his drama around personalities which have become as m y thologized as Lee · ·in Virginia. He limits his stage to Dublin's General Post Office, at the city's center, a plumstone's throw away from the site of 'the s t a t u e o·f t he o ne -handed adulterer, Nelson. Taking the center of the city had clear mythic import, as did the choice of Easter for rising. Coffe-y was conscious to the brilliant theatrics of the uprising, and he fills his stage with even the smells ,of rebellion. He uses images often and well: Defenders palely illuminated in­ the rushing flames, the discolored , bespattered corpse of a splendid rebel-- the bloody· avatar· of the

hero of Celtic myth, ultimately providing t h e a udience with superior to his murderer. The heroes and heroines {the woman's corpse had once been a man, who strength that would seem almost believed, as others { to die soon supernatural in much Irish writing after him), that his stand would w a s t h�r e , a s i m placable com e t o m ore t h a n c a r nal ded ication, on the streets of destruction.

Ames Requests Arts Support At Hamilton Convocation

Michael Tilson Thomas, 26 year-old Conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic and Associate Conductor of the Boston Symphony, receiving an honorary degree from Hamilton Colleae

Amyas Ames, chairman of the board of Lincoln Center for the Perform!ng Arts, called for a "wholly new precedence" for the arts in this country and outlined a three-point program to help them: 1. Change our educational methods so that our young experience the arts in their schools. 2. Develop a new system for communicating the arts through television and radio to larger audiences. 3. Set wholly new priorities for the financial support of the arts. "We should do for the arts and humanities in the 1970's what we did for the sciences in the 1940' s and 1950's," Mr. Ames said. "The arts are an essential part of our common heritage and must be given a wholly new precedence that

Draft Director Tarr Clarifies New Policy for Col lege Students

National Endowment of the Arts provide_s almost $30 million, but this is only 1-½ per �ent of the that billion $2 estimated Americans now spend each year on the arts. This Federal aid is not adequate for a nation of 200 million people t he pointed out. The proposed amount of $200 million in Federal aid comes to $1 per person. Present legislation providfs 15 cents . This compares with $1.40 per person spent on the arts in Canada, $2.42 in West Germany, $2 in Sweden and $2 in Austria. "It is only 1 per cent of what we spend on roads each year, the cost of about 15 miles of super-highway, but it is needed to sustain the arts," Mr. Ames,said. "All those who care for the arts, for the humanities, for education should make a direct request to their Congressmen, to their Senators and to the President for new legislation." The amount asked, he said, is not the subsidy so common in Europe, but would average only 10 per cent of the total now spent, leaving 90 per cent to be paid from ticket sales and other eamipgs and from the support of individuals, local and corporations governments. "What we ask is modest, when measured in terms of other Federal projects. Above all, what we ask for is a wholly new priority for the arts and humanities--for that which gives our lives richness and meaning,'' he concluded.

will b;ing them into wide use in our educational system and make possible new activity in our communities and in our _homes," he said. Mr. Ames stressed the need to develop a system to free the arts from dependence on commercial Specifically, he broadcasting. advocated developing a "low cost television ticket" to enable the individual or family to select and pay for high quality programs or program series at a cost that might be measured in cents for any one program. "The idea of the individual being able to buy a simple television ticket and so support the programs he wants is a radical i d e a for t e l e v ision, but a fundamental of the American way of doing things," he said. "We have not yet dramatized our interest in the arts as we do in sports," he continued, yet " over 600 million people visit museums each year. Over 12 million go to symphony concerts and millions more attend opera, ballet and o ther per formances. Lincoln Center outsells Yankee Stadium 3 to 1. The arts beat sports in. the public interest of this country by 2 to 1." Mr. Ames also asked for support for new legislation to provide Federal aid equal to at least 10% of what the American people now spend annually on the arts, or $200 million.

Intramural Council Expands System The Intramural Council voted last night at its first meeting of the allow to year the independents and all fraternities the option of fielding two or more separate teams for participation in any intramural sport. Council members expect this option to be exercised primarily by the independents, who draw on a much larger group of possible participants_. The two teams would each be assigned to a different league, thus giving more inde.pendents the opportunity of playing in that particular intramural sport. Only the team which finishes higher in the standings carries eligibility to advance into the playoffs. Likewise, only one· of the teams may receive points towards the intramural trophy. Fraternities or independents

wishing to field two teams must submit before the start of the season a ro.ster listing members of Team A and Team B. Members assigned to one team may under no circumstances play on the other. Council members expressed a belief that the system will function smoothly, although the general consensus held that, for football at least, only the independents have the personnel to field two teams. The Council also completed and approved an intramural football schedule, which will be posted early next week. The games will begin Wednesday.

Alulllni Fund Gets Greatest U.S. Perc,e_ntage

Ha milton College led all colleges and universities in the nation last year in the percentage of alumni giving to the annual fund. According- to figures just compiled by the Council for 'Financial Aid to Education, .60.01 per cent of Hamilton's alumni contributed to the College's 1970 Alumni Fund. In all, 3,759 out of 6,258 alumni gave a total of $232,908. In 1969, Hamilton led all private men's colleges with a giving percentage of 57.2. The 1970 figure means that Hamilton has replaced Dartmouth as leader a m o u n g all c o l l e g e s a n d universities. Dartmouth's alumni percentage was 61.8 in 1969 and 55.9 last year. In second place amoung private men's colleges in 1970 was

Williams, with 54.8 per cent, followed by Amherst with 47 .6 and Bowdoin with 44.0. Commenting on the Alumni Fund, Hamilton President John W. Chandler noted that the Council for Financial Aid report showed that total voluntary s u p port of higher education decreased last year for the first time since 1958. "For Hamilton to· counter this national trend so dramatically is a clear mdication of the loyalty of our alumni. I am grateful for this vote of confidence," Chandler said. "I believe it shows that the alumni share the pride those of us on the Hill feel in .the fact that Hamilton has kept its educational purpose in the forefront in this difficult economic and political climate."

T h e H a m ilton Athletic Program became a major topic of discussion at this year's Adler Conference, held from SeptemJ:>er 7 to September 9 at the Higby Club in the Adirondacks. The new schedule, the plans for new f a cilities, a d m issions, and spectator behavior during athletic contests were explored, and several recommendations were submitted. ' The question of spectator behavior seemed to be a focus for the discussions, as Hamilton students' less-t han-reputable reputation with opposi_ng teams and coaches seemed to be an immediate threat to all of the­ future plans in the other areas of discussion. Several recent incidents as in the Army, Colgate, Amherst, and Middlebury hockey games, and a few fan altercations at basketball games pose an immediate threat to Hamilton's entry into the newly created New England Conference.

Abba Eban to Speak Mondayin Gymnasium He was born in South Africa but came to Britain a an infant. After h'is graduation from Cambridge in 1938 with highest honors, he became an infantry officer in the British _Army and was assigned to the Middle East to stimulate Jewish effort in the war. The guerilla units he organized in Palestine against the threat from Axis forces in North Africa became the nucleus of the Israeli Army. It was in 1948 that Eban came into widespread public notice in this country, arguing for the admission of the newly formed state of Israel to the United Nations. In a speech in Chicago, he described those governments who refused to recognize Israel as adopting an "ostrich policy." "When an ostrich buries its head in the ground to avoid facing unpleasant fatts," he said, "it not o nly presents an undignified spectacle; it also constitutes an irresistible target." From 1950-59 Eban added to Continued on page seven

Dean Winton Tolle; will retire from office onJune 30. Graduated from Hamilton in 1923, Dean Tolles returned to the Hill in 1947 and has served as Dean since that time. The Dean explained that he is retiring because the mandatory retirement age for administrators at Hamilton is 65. He said that he will "continue in education as an administrator at another college." Plans for his new position there have been arranged, and the Dean and Mrs. Tolles will leave the Hill this summer. He has bought a house in Utica and intends to make that his "basic home," but he will reside wherever his new assignment brings him. Hamilton President John W. Chandler explained how the college will miss him. "Dean Tolles carried a fabulous load superbly well; it is almost inconceivable to find any single person who could fill all his. jobs. The Dean is a remarkably flexible man· who has kept up with campus moods and opinions. He is like the repository of Common Law at the college." Speaking more of the Dean, Mr. Chandler said, "You get to read his face. If he looks puzzled, then you can be sure that there is a real problem. If he looks benign; then it's only a problem he's been through before. An Ad Hoc Committee to Assist the President in the SESearch for a Dean has been created with Professor James W. Ring as the Chairman. In its search, the committee will first look at men who are neither faculty members nor alumni of Hamilton. Mr. Chandler explained that this was to hopefully "bring fresh ideas into the college." Still, faculty and alumni are not ruled out. In a memorandum to the faculty, the committee explained that "at some point in the selection • process, representatives of Kirkland College and the student body will be· invited to interview candidates."

Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban

Abba Eban, the I sraeli diplomat, will speak at Hamilton College on Monday, September 27, under the sponsorship of the Root-Jessup Society, the College's st u d e n t public affairs organization. Eban's adclress, ope.n to the public at an admission price of $2.50 ($2.00 for students), will be given in the Hamilton gymnasium at S p.m. Tickets may be purchased at the door, or in advance at the Bristol Campus Center at Hamilton. The Cambridge-educated Eban is now Israel's foreign minister and frequent spokesman for his country at the United Nations. He became familiar to millions of American television viewers in 1967 during the U.N. debate resulting from the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War. Fluent in six languages, he has an oratorical style that has been compared by th� New York Times to that of "Winston Churchill sending the English language to war in 1940."

patient. Pills may be obtained at the Health Center. There are no morning-after pills available, as these are not being widely used at the present time. One of the problems Planned Parenthood is concerned with is the high incidence of V.D. across the country. According to Mrs. Jean Culkin, R.N. ·of the Health Center, the percentage of V.D. on campus is relatively high. All proven cases· of V.D. must be reported to the health department as required by state law. Other information concerning patients is confidential.

Dean. Already the college has employed a Registrar to relieve part of the burden carried by the Dean's Office. The responsibilities of the Associate Dean would be expanded, and a new office with an additional Dean would be created to relieve the office of other academic-administrative functions. Thus, the Dean would be primarily a Dean of the Faculty, concentrating in three areas. He will "provide leadership in the

development of curriculum and the overall educational program of the college. "Second, he will work with committees and faculty department chairmen on decisions related to promotion, tenure and reapportionment." Also, the Dean will be the chief liaison with Kirkland College for academic matters. Dean Tolles graduated from Mount Vermont (N.Y.) High Continued on page two

In elaborating on the tuition dilemma, he observed that "tuition charges that average five or six times those of the State University are effectively eliminating private institutions from progressively larger parts of the student market from which they once drew." President Chandler outlined the consequences of failure to meet this challenge to the preservation of private higher education in the State: "Unless the problem is met with resolution and imagination, New York State, which is now nationally preeminent in its higher education system, could suffer rapid decline." As Commission Chairman, he advocated six legislative goals t�

"disturbing" this remedy situation. First, an upward revision of the Bundy assistance to bring it into "more realistic alignment with the needs of the institutions and their contributions to the public good." Second, elimination of barriers posed by the Blaine amendment to the granting of state aid to certain religiously affiliated colleges, in order to remove an "inherent inequity" in the State educational system. Third, legislation to increase the quantity and scope of the State's financial aid to students. F ou r t h , legislation · to of implement a program c a tegorical State aid to engineering programs.

BY DEIRDRE TOWERS Six rooms in the basement of Root Hall ·at Hamilton are now available for a draft-counseling center, an organic food store, student. art exhibitions and/or sales, a used book store, a silent room, free schools, and a library-sitting area. The Root Hall Project is · an outgrowth of the committee that last year launched the Community Beer Parties and the Coffee House. In addition, the committee has held weekly discussions on such subjects as the absenc� of communication between Clinton and the colleges, the problems of the freshmen, the relationship of the fraternities to the rest of the school, . and the lack of spirit within and between Hamilton and Kirkland. Since off-campus meeting sites proved not readily available Dean DePuy and then Vice-President

Provost Paul Carter suggested the basement of Root Hall. The Root Hall Project intends to be · a non-profit organization, although the student store may operate on a commission basis to offset debts. The Project will receive a $100 grant from· the Chapel Board and the proceeds from the bimonthly community beers. Draft-counseling information will be available within the week. A draft counselor . from Syracuse will direct a four week training program which will start within the month. The organic food on depending store, the construction help, will open in January. All students who are interested in the Root Hall Project should contact Sue Bell '72 who said, "I carpenters; need need I enthusiasm; I need a glass of · beer."

served as a high school teacher in New Jersey for one year and then returned to Hamilton to work on his M.A. which he received in 1931.

E:DITO :1:1.IA..I..S Fraternities

Few people would deny the importance of fraternities as an option in the "social-residential" system of Hamilton and Kirkland. Fewer would deny that the primary object and task of the Interfraternity Council is to insure the strength and attractiveness of the fraternity system, not individual fraternities. At this time, the fraternities are faced with a growing mood that they are dying and unable to withstand the impact· of changing social patterns-de-emphasis on off-campus dates, rolls, beer bashes, rushing and other paraphanalia.. The advantages of . fraternity membership and living have been stifled by cries of panic and bankruptcy. In this scenario, we then must ask what the IFC has done to bolster the fraternity system. It would be a great loss to the colleges if fraternities started to -go under, for they have been and can be a vital and integral part of life here. But the houses have to change, and we must ask how the IFC has helped or taken steps toward making this change. The IFC has opened the Architectural Tours to Kirkland students, but do the women know that? Individual houses have taken steps; Sig is sponsoring the next Community Beer and ELS hopes to have women as eating members. But this is simply not enough. The major actions of the IFC have impressed everyone, especially the freshmen, with the needs of fraternities, not with what they have to offer. The pre-Thanksgiving Rushing Weekend Disaster, fortunately averted, merely impressed us · with fraternities' need for members. When will the IFC show us that· fraternities can offer close social ties to Kirkland without waiting on line for an hour to get into McEwen Hall for dinner? Can the IFC invite, some person or group which is not involved in the fraternity system to take an objective look at the problems and perhaps offer some suggestions? The most important action of the Council has been to virtually eliminate restrictions on rushing. Instead of encouraging cooperation and fresh ideas, the Council has allowed the· booze to" flow a bit freer and

'

told frat men to put on a heavy rush. Not only does this move fraternities closer to proving that they are not part of the social life here, but it gives free license to wealthy houses while telling poorer houses to. fend as best they can. Houses with money can afford to wine, dine and titillate freshmen. Houses with greater need seem abandoned. Such -is no way to preserve a system. We cannot present an instant panacea, but we can urge and plead that the IFC change its strategy, and reverse the anti-fraternity . tide.

Phones

As we enter the third week of the semester, the continuing difficulties with the phone system at Hamilton have grown more serious. Sin ce telephone service is essential to modern living, we feel that it is the College's responsibility to provide the students with at least the same number of phones that were available last year. The situation has become potentially dangerous in the Griffin Road �partments where virtually no phone service exists since the recent removal of those phones already there. These students are living off-campus, and if any emergency arose in which they needed to contact so�eone immediately they would be unable to do so. . Students in college dormitories are somewhat better off, though there too, the continuing inoperation of several pay phones hampets efforts at making and receiving calls. The college should also make an effort to provide phone service for the heads of those several student organizations who require phones to do t4eir jobs effectively, as well as for the Freshmen Advisors. It may be that the N.Y. T�lephon_e strike has held up repair work. However, Hamilton does have priority in obtaining service from the phone company, and the continuation of this problem for over two weeks raises questions as to the efficiency and speed with which the Administration has tried to correct' the situation. J At the very least, the student body deserves an explanation, if not an apology, for the College's failure to act by now to rectify a situation which has grown from a mere irritant to become a senous disorder. ·

- Comrrient BY REBECCA CRAFTS The Women's Center has gone unnoticed by many people. Others have frowned, ·smirked, or even laugheq out loud upon seeing posters or the room itself in A dorm. Kirkland women who are concerned about the problems and possibilities of being a woman have been attracted to Women's Center meetings. But despite these varying reactions there can perhaps be drawn from all people a common question: What is the purpose of the Women's Center? This question is answerable on a concrete level. After two year's worth of attempts, the Center is finally getting off the ground. Plans that have been made for this year include holding a Women's Weekend (a teach-in type activity with speakers, films, workshops) and s.etting up an urban affairs committee to work with Utica groups such- as welfare mothers and.the food co-op. Already underway is-a group independent study science course entitled "Women and their Bodies," for credit, which was initiated by women of the Center. Women's Center meetings will be held quite often; many programs and discussions set for the future should prove to be interesting and thought-provoking, as well as being a means of really getting to know people-getting to know them as human beings, as women, and as sisters. The purpose of the Women's Center is less easily expressed when it is thought of in an ideological sense. Why do Kirkland women need a "center"? Indeed, is there a need for a women's organization at all? If so, what should it do and what should its standards be? It is virtually impossible to m�ke any response .to these questions. The women involved with the Center hold many views in common and agree that we need to be together arid work together. But the actual reasons we have for our interest and concern probably differ as much as we do as people. In my opinion the women's liberation movement (although I hesitate to use the term because• of the negative connotations that can be conjured up for this truly positive concept) is important politically, for it desires the end of oppression of all people, whether it be blatant or subtle oppression. However, the women's movement is also a very personal thing. It involves how we think of ourselves, how we perceive others, how we live every moment of our lives. The Women's Center as an organization cannot think for women and give them guidelines for living. It can only provide information, opportunities for genuine human· contact without roles to play or pre-conceived notions to fulfill, and a common ground to learn, work, and grow.

MARCH the departure of With Kinokunst's Curtis Reed '71 and his talented hound Harvey, Monday morning Chapel's theatrics will rest entirely on the shoulders of Amenic very own Doc Reisman '72. Due to the merger of Kinokunst-Gesellschaft and Amenic into the Hamilton Kirkland Film Society, this year's movie schedule for the Hill promises to be most entertaining. With Fred Keller '72 managing the Chemistry Auditorium and both Reisman and Mark Richard '73 operating the Science Auditorium, the two buildings can now· alternate betwe�n popular and "artsy" films.

In . response to recent complaints about the high-priced tickets, Reisman stated: ''People just don't realize the individual cost involved...they don't remember that three years ago all films cost 75 cents to see. The college community can expect to pay 50 cents for approximately 90% of the movies shown. For those films costing the H.K.F.S. over $250, there will be a 75 cents admission. It all adds up- beside film rental fees there are handling charges, the projectionist's salary of $4 a show, phone bills, and advertiseinent expenses."

IFC · Allows Kirkland · Women To Participate in Frat Tours In a move away from tradition, architectural tours of fraternity houses will be open to all Kirkland students in addition to Hamilton freshmen. By allowing Kirkland students to attend, the Interfraternity Council hopes that they will learn more about each individual fraternity and about the fraternity system at Hamilton. Tours will begin with a question and answer

period in the Chapel followed by tours of the houses. During the afternoon, beer and wine will be the only alcoholic beverages that the houses will be allowed to serve. After Sunday, there will be no restrictions on freshman visits ·or the serving of alcohol until November 15, when a new set of regulations will take effect. IFC President, Matt McKenna,

'7 2 urges "freshmen to take part in all activities associated with rushing. They should be as open minded as possible without being overimpressed by either the good or bad aspects of fraternity life." A proposal to have rushing weekend on November 20 was defeated in the IFC meeting Tuesday. The Council's action makes it impossible for rushing occur before weekend to February.

HELP Provides Job Possibilities

1971 .

BY BILL PURCELL Due to an acute shortage of employment possibilities for students auring the school year, the Student Aid Office and Career Center has set into motion a plan designed to provide such short-term employment. According to Lynn Appleton '74, a member of the project's staff, in recent years the limited amount of student employment available at Hamilton and Kirkland has been completely filled by scholarship students. HELP, the name the plan has been given, is designed to fill the needs of students not desiring or able to get any of the jobs on campus. Created by Student Aid Director David "Chapman and Rosalind Hoffa of the Career Center, HELP will be a type of labor pool for the areas surrounding The Hill. Aided by ads in local newspapers and other advertising, the staff hopes to get the program to the point where students will be able to choose the job most suitable to them based on the task itself, its hours, and its duration.

The one requirement HELP has is the completion and filing of a schedule card with its office. HELP's office is located in the Student Aid and Career Center office in the basement of Dunham Hall (formerly the Placement Planning Office). The office is open from 8:30 to 4:30. According to Appleton, the jobs will range from child care to farm work with any job being open to both Kirkland and Hamilton students. One outstanding example av;ulable at the moment is a request by .President Samuel Babbitt of Kirkland College. Needed is someone to jet to Michigan, pick up five tons of marble in a truck, and drive it back to Kirkland.

Abba Eban To Speak

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE AD HOC COMMITTEE ON STUDENT LIFE obvious financial reasons, College housing must not stand empty. it' is clear, however, that certain students may . have sound motives for wishing to house themselves off campus. The Committee therefore re�ommends that a limited · number of students be permitted to live off campus; the number will be necessarily li�ited by the need to maintain the College also Committee The residences. recommends that students from the immediate area of the College who wish to live at home for financial reasons be allowed to do so. Both these recommendations are made with the stipulation that all students will be expected to live in College housing during their freshman year. 11) Continue residential fraternities as an option. Because such organizations satisfy the legitimate desires of some students, fraternities owning residential houses should continue as aq option in the social-residential system. In making this recommendation, the Committee-including members who helped draft the Faculty "Report on the Workings of the Fraternity System" -was impressed by how greatly fraternities at Hamilton have changed since the report was issued in December, 196�. One striking change is responsible, in part, for this recommendation:fraternities no longer dominate the social life of the College to the degree they did even a short time ago. 12) Do not provide financial aid to fraternities owning houses. The recommendation to allow fraternities to continue at Hamilton must not be taken as a recommendation to support them. The College should not provide financial aid, either directly or indirectly, to fraternities owning residential houses. The Committee is persuaded, furthermore, that it would be most unwise for the College to continue the pattern established in purchasing the property of

the three down-hill fraternities and then moving their membership into the College·owned Bundy Quadrangle. The College should not subsidize fraternities by assigning non.fraternity students to fraternity-owned housing. It must be remarked that the Committee found persuasive ev1dence that fraternities in general are in imminent danger of lapsing into bankruptcy if they do not begin at once to act with vigor and full awareness of their problems. 13) Establ£sh minimum standards for fraternities. Because fraternities are an integral part of student life at Hamilton, the College cannot dissociate itself from the operation of the fraternities, or·rely on the fact that their houses are owned by frat!!rnity corporations. Accordingly, the College should exercise supervision over the health and safety of the occupants and of those who take their meals there.

We therefore recommend that the College make sure that fraternity trustees understand the nature· of their financial liability. Furthermore, for the protection of the College, fraternity students, and fraternity trustees, the Committee recommends that the College establish and enforce certain minimum standards for f r a t e r n i t y•owned After residences. consulting with active and alumni

fraternity members, the College should therefore: a) specify minimum requirements for fire and liability insurances to be held by fraternities owning residences; b} require that financial accounts of fraternities owning residences be prepared in a standard form, audited, and submitted to the fraternity trustees annually; c) draw up a codified statement of standards concerning health and safety in fraternity-owned residences, and establish a. regular inspection procedure to insure that such standards are being met; d} establish optimal occupancy in fraternity-owned structures; e) specify how long a fraternity would have to undertake any corrective action as a result of a failure to meet the prescribed standards, and specify what steps-up to and including perma.nent closing of the house as a residence for students-the College would take if such corrective actions were not undertaken in the time specified. 14) Encourage any fraternity that clos_es to transfer its property to the College. If for financial or other reasons a fraternity is no longer able fo maintain its house, the College should encourage the fraternity to transfer title to its property to the College without payment. If the College then decides to use the house as a regular College residence, fraternity members already liing in the house would be permitted to remain there. As vacancies occurred, however, they would be filled by the College as they are in other College residences. 15) Plan for the use of fratenity property that may become the property of the College. Given the problems with finances and membership faced by a growing number of fraternities, it seems possible that at least some houses might have to suspend operations in the relatively near

future. In the event that any fraternity house does close and transfer its title to the College, the College must be prepared to make intelligent use of the property. 16) Expand or Supplement the Bristol Facilities. The total enrollment of Hamilton and Kirkland will soon ·be approximately 1,600, and at such time the facilities of the Bristol Campus Center will be inadequate for studenf needs. The Committee therefore recommends that the two Colleges commence planning to expand or supplement such facilities. In closing this report, the Trustee Ad Hoc Committee on Student Life would like to make two final comments. First, we recognize that the Board cannot be expected to implement all our recommendations at once. Although some of them do request immediate expenditure (remodeling Dunham, for example), we are aware that others will have to wait their turn until funds become available and until other priorities of the College have been met. Second, we wou'Id remark on how difficult it is at this time to anticipate the future · direction of undergraduate social. life at Hamilton-except to say that the rapid change of the past few years is likely to continue for some years. We have therefore tried in our report on the one ,hand to refrain from committing Hamilton t to a past social system that might prove intractable to change and on the other hand to refrain from planning a new system that might prove suited only to the needs of an inagined future. If our recommendations are accepted, we hope that the Board and those others responsible for acting upon therh will exercise the same caution; we urge that in planning, construction, and renovation they pay close attention to the need for facilities that are as flexible as possible, facilities that can be altered to meet a changing student body in changing times.

SPECTATOR Cro� Countrymen Prepare For Long Season Ahead

BY T.J. DELANEY The grey-shirted nomads have once again taken to the long country roads and quiet glens of College Hill. Their goal is to repeat last year's undefeated season. To attain this objective, the cross country team began . working triple sessions early in September. But with the start of "classes, they continued group training afternoons and individual workouts during the day. Obviously the work is paying off, for in a recent scrimmage with Colgate the team appeared in its best early-season shape ever, led by Sefl:ior Captain Ken Judson. In close contention at the Colgate meet were Marc Peuron '72, Peter Tylenda '72, andjunior

It is likely that those students who registered to vote in Oneida County during last May's campus voter registration drive will face a challenge of the legitimacy of their registrations on November � and thus will not be able to vote. Legal action is being planned by a group of students, and a case against the Oneida County Board of Elections will hopefully be brought to a State Supreme Court on Monday. The students' registrations would be challenged on the basis of their legal residences. Most students who registered to vote reported a college dormitory as their legal residence in Oneida _County. The local election board will most likely challenge such residences as illegitimate under newly passed legislation in New York State. A portion of the law is reprinted on page 10. The attorneys1 for the case and Howard Pariser '73, who has led the voter registration drive here, are hoping that the judge will · either interpret the residency requirement to allow dormitory residency as valid or declare the section of the New York State Election Law pertaining to r e s i d e nc y r e q u i r e m e nt s unconstitutional. In Pariser's judgment, it is unlikely that the judge would reverse the present interpretation of the law. Thus Pariser sees the case as a test of the constitutionality of the law. The case, which will also draw support from students at Utica College and Mohawk Valley Com·munity College, will be a "class action." Under a "class action" the decision reached concerning at least one student claiming dormitory residence will be binding on all such registrations. Approximately 570 students . registered to vote last May., and according to Pariser, at least 21 were left standing in line at Bristol when the representatives of the Board of Elections decided to

dormitories. Some counties accepted the · registrations; some rejected them and informed the registrants. Others did not notify the students at all. Some boards denied receipt of the forms, and some boards have not been heard from. Students who registered to vote in e>neida County received a letter from the Democratic Commisioner of Elections G. Carl Morse. In his letter he wrote: "It now becomes most evident that the New York State Legislature favored the lower voting age, but it doesn't want college students to influence elections in college towns. "New legislation pertaining to 'legal residence' plus broader interpretation of existing laws have made it almost impossible for you to claim your college dorm as your legal residence."

Most students applied for absentee registration in their home counties, yet some 150 who -registered to vote in Oneida County face a potential challenge at the polling place in November. In addition, many of the registrations for absentee ballots have been rejected, even though the registrants have not been notified. All students who registered in the spring are urged to write to their local boards to check on their status. When the students registered last May, their forms were sent to their home election boards along with a letter from Hamilton Dean Winton Tolles.

E1DITORIA..L.S Representation

Card Locks

We heartily endorse the proposal that student members of the Assembly who were elected today serve provisional terms ending in January. The formation of the new representation system was necessarily hasty to insure a working Assembly to deal with pressing college matters, but feelings of confusion and distrust pervaded the referendum election. This fall, for the first time in Kirkland's history, students could formally decide on the mode of representation in the Assembly. The Steering Committee held meetings and a referendum to determine the desires of students about representation and finally decided to combine dorm and at-large nominations with at-large balloting. A referendum on this procedure was not held. This was apparently due to the lack of time available before the Assembly was to be elected. Student representation on the Assembly is too crucial a matter to be finally decided so hastily. Much more discussion must be involved in this decision process before a valid conclusion can be reached. Pending approval of next week's referendum, this discussion should take place during this semester, with a better considered decision about voting procedures taking place in January.

The doors of Kirkland dorms will be locked at 5:00 tonight, not to be unlocked again until Monday morning. Card locks will be used every weekday beginning at 5:00 PM. and twenty-four hours on weekends. The policy to lock the doors was passed by the Assembly in Spring 1970, but the lock system was not in full working order before this fall. A majority of Kirkland students have signed a petition protesting the use of card locks at these hours. Although this measure is on� of preventive security, we cannot help but question whether the distrustful atmosphere and inconvenience are worth this measure. In a community of this size, we would hope that a more relaxed atmosphere would prevail.

Smut Carol McNutt is leaving Kirkland College. When approached by a Spectator reporter asking information about her plans, Miss M cN utt replied that no public announcements had been made, that if she were leaving, she would be leaving for personal reasons, and that she was "sorry that she had no smut for the Spectator." We are dismayed by Miss McNutt's attitude, since the Spectator has continually worked to open communications within the Hamilton-Kirkland Community. Changes in administration are subjects of community importance, rather than "smut" for gossip column, as Miss McNutt implies. Communicating one's views on the Editorial Page is more constructive than attacking reporters who are pursuing honest views. Anyone who objects to the policies or attitudes of the Spectator should contact the editors, and we shall publish these views on our Editorial page.

Class Presid-ent The election of the Senior Class President was announced in Chapel last Monday. Not too many people heard the whisper that Jack Gordon was elected, and since Chapel attendance is so low anyway, only about half the school knows the fact now. Jack was elected without an election. In fact, he was the only sen1.or to petition for the office. Aside from the miserably poor publicity from the Senate Elections Committee, and the swift pronouncement of election, we have to ask what the position is · that it is so competetively sought a_fter. Rumor has it that the President organizes Class and Charter Day and has something to do with Commencement. If giving someone - a title for grad school applicatioris is the only way to get an organizer for those two aays, fine. We'll all stick our heads underground and let things go as_ they have till now. When the Senate looks at ·how the Student Government is organized, it should look at class officers. Give them something to do and the means to do it, or get rid of them. And -if the Senate is looking at representation by class, running Class and Charter Day and Commencement might be something for four lame-duck Senior Senators to do.

BY ERIC HENLEY We have started a unique year at Hamilton and Kirkland, since it marks the first time th at the two schools have about reached their maximum enrollments. For those of us who have already spent several years here, the change has suddenly hit us. We keep saying, "You know, there really are a lot of people here now." It's th e truth. No longer is Hamilton a school of 900 and neith er is Kirkland now a college of 600. The two are inseparable, so th ere are over 1500 students. Now 1500 is quite different from the 1100 or so there were three years ago. T he fact is that we no longer have the small tight-knit community th at existed in 1969. Sure, t he total enrollment is still less than most American colleges, but th at does ·not change the s_ituation- we simply have grown a lot, and the administrations of both sc hools might as well forget about selling high school students a small liberal arts college of 950 or 600, if they haven't done so already, and start selling t hem a school of 1500. The evidence fo r the "lot of students" is easily discerned. Start wh ere it h urts most, in your classes. I bet some freshmen are surprised at th e size of th eir classes. Well, don't be; just remember th at you can still talk to your professor h ere and that is very important. Okay, the classes are often crowded, and they're cramped into small rooms; th e library's crowded, and it's getting difficult to find a place to study. Well, to some extent the problems with these facilities will be relieved next year with t he completion of the library and the Kirner-] ohnson building. Still, there are other problems that won't be so easily bettered. Did you try to get a beer at the pub last week? How about getting on the tennis courts? Or maybe into th e movies? Two or th ree years ago, th ese situations did not occur. Indeed, "There sure are a lot of people around here." Let's try another area-dining. The college has three dining halls: Bundy, where perhaps 100 people eat during the week; Commons_, busy at lunch, quieter at dinner; and McEwen, calm dl¥1ng lunch and packed at night. There are some serious problems righ t now with long lines of people waiting to be served, and these will be intensified if any more fraternities close down their kitchens. Right now, some suggestions can be offered that might make life a bit . more pleasant. First, Bundy dining hall is really very nice. It's small, quiet and h as the best food of the t hree. Students might consider. trying it some weekday nights. Second, the best way to equalize the dining mess th at occurs nightly at McEwen would be for a lot of girls to start eating at Commons. Presently, few girls do this, but a number of Hamilton students eat at McEwen. (After all, th e purpose of h aving men and women across th e road from each other is to have them get to �ow one another). If more girls ate at Hamilton, it might ease the strain at McEwen and make eating at Commons much more enjoyable. See , wh at we h ave to learn th is year is how to live as a community of 1500. The sad th ing 'would be to let a feeling of impersonality, a sense of removal from oth er students, become the accepted way of life. The increased physical size of both colleges and the number of students eating their meals in th eir rooms may encourage th is attitude, for it has become a lot easier for people not. to see each other. I was really bothered when a friend told me th at "Nobody smiles at you anymore." I don't know if that's happening, but I q.ope not. · In essence, th e importance of th is year is to set a trend that will continue; one that shows how a community of 1500 does not have to lose its feeling of closeness and friendliness. And the only way t hat will be done is between students. I hope that by the year's end, 't h ose of us w ho graduate, and who knew a different sch ool, will not feel th at the th ings that really count at our colleges have changed very much .

As it now stands we are electing our assembly representatives on Thursday. It is imperative that an assembly be elected now to deal with pressing college matters. The election, however, will be held with misunderstanding, anger, and disagreement on the part of a number of students, therefore we propose the following: That the assembly be elected only for a provisional student term lasting until January, there by giving time for a number of all-college discussions, meetings and workshops to be planned and held th is semester. These meetings will enable us to·discuss the constitution, th e assembly, the representation of minority groups and other related matters. In this way we could work out w hat we want th e assembly to be w hile having a working system to deal with present problems. -

Rafe Sense of Ensemble Seen In Shaw's 'You Never Can Tell'

Once on the battlefield, if we f i nd our s e l v e s consciously maneuvering, we are compelled to feel guilty. Fortunately, before it became too obvious to all of us that that whole game is suchadrag, George Bernard Shaw wrote You N e v e r Can T e l l. T h e Hamilton- -K ir k land Rounders, under the direction of Mr. Robert Harper, have brought this funny play back from a successful one week run in Sturbridge, Mass. to Minor Theater, where it may be seen Friday and Saturday nights at 8:30. It's to laugh, and if it offends anyone socio-politically, I'd say they are taking themselves too seriously. Shaw's humor can be light without using farcical characters or set-up punchlines.

riWild Strawberries' Succeeds . As a Parqhle of Death in Life

BY ROY SCHECTER An old man is walking down a deserted street. He looks up at a clock, only to find that it lacks hands. His own watch's -face is equally barren. Yet he and we both hear a vague thumping, the pounding, frightening heartbeat of passing time. It is the same sound we heard when Max Von Sydow stared at his watch to demonstrate the agonizing length of one minute in "The Hour of the Wol f." Suddenly a horse-drawn, driverless hearse turns the corner, crashes into a lamppost, and purposefully dislodges its coffin. The old m an approaches the coffin, and as it opens, he discovers that the figu re

Zappa Zaps Out Fillmore East On -New Live Mothers' Album

BY MARK RICHARD P e r inent i n f o r m atjo n: Mothers, Fillmoree East, June 1971. F rank Zappa, Bizarre/Repr ise MS -2042. Released August, 1971. A II!an's opinion on a given object is, of course, a function of his conception of both himself and of what the object is attempting to do to him. Bearing this in mind, how do you react to the following parable? A group of young ladi�, "looking for hot romance [they] need," meet a young man in a New York City bar. The girls are interested in doing something with a baby octopus, a Doctor Pepper bottle, and Alice Cooper, but they are only interested in doing it with a guy from a group with...a hit single... Ironically, the young man is in a group that made the charts this week. In the conversation, he lets pass the information that women from around the globe flock to write his name on the bathroom walls of the Whiskey-A-Go-Go, because his 'Latex Solar Beef' (as he calls it, among other things) is almost a lege ndary entity, sacred to groupies, a ticket to stardom, etc. After an interval, it turns out that he is exactly the sort of man that the young ladies are looking for. However, until he sings them his big hit single, he cannot get any of the many exotic delights which they promise him. Reduced to a state of helplessness, he surrenders and sy mobolically gives the girls his 'bullet'. F ra n k Zappa h a s b e e n performing material like this for e ight years--for example, the touching story on his second album of a city executive and a 13 year old who knew "how to nasty" and led the man to divorce and "TV dinner by the pool." He is• also notorious for the tension between the complexity of his music and the crassness of his lyrical and. visual performance. This latest albu m is, however, his most blatant, and a good case can be made for -this resulting from frustration on Zappa's part. Zappa originally disbanded his group in 1969 ("These kids wouldn't know good music if it came up and bit 'em on the ass," he remarkeddd . The group's last piece of work conceived as an

organic whole was Uncle Meata d o u b l e a l b u m of complex instrumentals, with the accent on a fusion between the concrete music of Varese (who m Zappa acknowledged once as the major influence on his work) and the instrumental techniques of jazz. Its success was less than what the composer hoped for. Which was hardly surprising, since it marked Zappa's only commercial attempt to p re sent "serious" music wit hout packaging it with theatrical nonsense, risque lyrics, and the trappings of rock and roll. Rumors had it that Zappa was d isgusted w i t h the general reaction to him as showman and musician. So when Zappa resurrected the Mothers, he hired Aynsley Dunbar as his drummer and the two. former lead singers of the Turtles (and later, the former bass player of the Turtles.) The live album is the cadaver of a projected "opera for television," 200 Motelswhich. the group hoped to film in Scandanavia. Most of the major themes in the work are at least three years old. "Little House I Used to Live in." which is by far the most interesting composition, is an

abbreviation of a longer piece on Burnt Weeny Sandwich;"Willie the Pimp" was written in 1969. Sections from Lump Gravy ("a curious · inconsistent piece which started out to be a ballet but probably didn't make it") are used in the ·sections before Zappa ' s p s y c h e d e l i c g u itar solo. Musically, there is nothing new which is particuliarly interesting, except perhaps the lead singer's vocal ability ("Bwana dik" and "Latex Solar Beef"). Which is not to say that the album doesn't make it as a whole. The story and the music are co-ordinated well, it does stand together as a musical unit, and most of the album is extremely funny. If you see yourself as part of a "life style", it's right up your alley, accessible, so to speak. If you'd rather say nothing than be reduced to saying "Let's hop in the back of your Gremlin and get our rocks off'', don't look to this album as the n e x t e m bod iment of Spirit realizing itself. The audience at the Fillmore couldn't get enought. As for Zappa and his own view of him self, it seems that he knows that you only sow what you reap. And vice versa.

inside is his own. The corpse reaches up and unyiedingly grasps his hand, as it pulls him into the coffin. This horrible dream is the first in a series of nightm ares which plague the hero of Ingmar Bergman's "Wild Strawberries." This scene, which virtually opens the film , is su terrifying and so brilliantly done, that the rest of the movie has trouble m atching it. That Bergman cannot maintain this level of initial excellence, however, is not much to his discredit. For "W ild Strawberries," though certainly not his best film ( m y favorite is "The Seventh Seal"), abounds

When he enters he is tested and mentally tortured. The examiners him of callousness, accuse selfishness, and ruthlessness, incompetence, and instruct him that his first duty is "to ask for forgiveness" and to feel guilt for a crime he is ignorant of committing.

An allusion is made to Abraham and Sarah, with m any of the elements that which appears sign ificant, since characterize his most penetrating there are two Sarah's in the story. work: the simple, narrative style; "Isak" is obviously a take-off on brooding, g-0thic scenes that Isaac, although to what end, I portray the frightening aspects of leave for the viewer who knows human solitude; vivid closeups of the Bible better than I do to human faces, ranging through figure out. emotions of love to hate, and, Bergman mixes his symbols more importantly, from courage rather freely, I think, for the to fear. purpose of playing a game with The fear that Bergm an focuses his. audience.

Adler Conference Evaluation R�port I. Introduction The 1971 Adler Conference is a unique phenomena in higher education today. Formerly the Higby Conference, the retreat has been renamed in memory of the late Professor Charles Adler, whose energies, insight, and v1s1on were so instrumental in initiating the conference's inception six years ago. The purpose of Adler is not to develop concrete resolutions or plans of action--it has no legislative capacity. Rather, the talks deal with identifying and locating the , "problem areas" at Hamilton. Through these discussions, the direction which seems most feasible is often discovered, solve to made attempts without administrative details. Action may result from the discussions and dialogue wh eri the conference members return to the campus. But, the exchange. and free flow of ideas and suggestions is the vital element at Adler. From the recommendations of past conferences, membership is determined by volunteers from the students and faculty. If, as was the case this year, membership exceeds the number of available places, the Adler Co-ordinating Committee shall make the final decision. There is a very conscious effort to involve as many new students as possible by using a high turnover rate from year to year. It was feJt that this policy would improve the productivity of the discussions, eliminate continual "elitist" group participation and provide more students who are sincerely interested with the opp�rtunity to experience the conference.. Involving new faculty would also, it was agreed, impro've the free flow of ideas. The Adler Conference is on a very tight financial budget, which only permits a relatively few number of people to participate. The optimum number seems to be around fifty-five, as the small size of the conference makes for more intimate, and therefore productive, discussions. It was agreed, on the whole, that large size would inevitably hinder the success of Adler. Many topics were discussed, and the following report relates the issues and the recommendations made in each discussion group. II. Student Residential Life Residential life at Hamilton, with the finished report of the Ad Hoc Trustee Committee on Student Life, was one of the major areas of discussion at Adler. On · the whole, it was felt that all of the recommendations of the report had merit. Fraternities once again were explored, and with the closing of several houses in the very near future, concern was expressed about the college's role in the event of dissolution. 1) Fraternities it was felt, concurring with the Student Life Report, should remain as an alternative in a p·luralistic residential system. 2) The College should not, however, provide any financial assistance to the ,..·houses. 3) It was also recommended that, with the advice of lawyers, the trustees of the fraternities should be informed of their legal responsibilities and liabilities. 4) Health and maintenance standards must be set up. 5) And an organized plan, which has already been formulated, should be made fo facilitate the legal and financial steps needed to dissolve a fraternity house, and settle the question of assuming the debts. The question of co-ed housing was

become a reality. But no concrete action could take place without substantial student support. Dunham Dormitory was explored and several very firm recommendations were made. · 1) Dunham must be of the highest priority for college funds for renovations.

III. Curriculum Discussion focusing on the curriculum and the concomitant issues of Winter Study,. class size and the grading system stimulated considerable controversy and, in some areas, few suggestions for solutions. A. The Grading System Participants of the conference expressed opinions of differences substantial concerning the r�lative advantages and of · alternative grading disadvantages systems. A variety of options such as Pass-Fail,'written evaluations, letter grades or combinations of them might be investigated. Closely related to the matter of grading is the competitive position of Hamilton graduates compared to that of graduates from other institutions when applying to graduate schools. Among students, the understanding persists that Hamilton professors grade "harder" than professors from other colleges. Toe - problem is: Are Hamilton graduates unduly pe11alized in the competition for admission to graduate schools. Two possible solutions were suggested. 1. Educating graduate schools to understand what a cumulative average from Hamilton means. 2. Converting to a 420 grade-point The entire construction of the building was system so that graduate schools could the prime reason for great dissatisfaction system grading evaluate Hamilton's and stress among the freshman class. compared to others. 2) The possibility of making doubles B � Class Size The obvious solution of and singles out of the rooms should be hiring more faculty was dismissed as explored, but there was some question impractical at this time. It was recognized about how the facilities at the college could accomoda te comfortably those students displaced by the renovations. 3) The possibility of dispersing fres-hman in clusters throughout the college was also recommended, but the question was raised about what upperclassman would settle for life in Dunham a second time. Dining and 'the eating facilities came under criticism at the conference as it was felt by many that the quality of the food still wasn't what it should be. Fraternity food, for the same price, was much better. The following topics were discussed. 1) It was very important to maintain a number of meal plan options, such as the ten and nineteen meal plan. Other recommendations were 'for the freshmen to be allowed to eat at fraternities second semester, and Hamilton students should be allowe<;l to establish co-ops with Kirkland women in suites with kitchen facilities. 2) The consultant's report of two years ago should be made available, and its recommendations re-examined. that effective communication between 3) Improvements of the Commons and professor and class is more than a function McEwen facilities shoul<;l be looked at.

Senior majors greatly. offering regularly scheduled but opti_onal additional class hours might help alleviate the problem. C. Winter Study Recommendations concerning the Winter Study Projects were much more explicit than those of other problems relating to the curriculum� Among these were: 1. rejecting the proposal to abolish the Winter Study Program. 2. publicizing immediately the listing of the Winter Study Program. 3. explaining in more detail the content of the individ_ual projects themselves. 4. explaining fully why projects submitted by students for faculty were rejected. 5. exploring the possibility of requiring only three projects in four years. IV.

Kirkland. Several incidents were cited as examples in which these -tensions have surfaced. And, it· was commented thaC these tansions have in no way been eased and could at any time resurface with unfortunate consequences. A distinction was made, however, between the tension essential for maintaining blacJ_c. solidarity, and the destructive tension which arises through misunderstanding and racial prejudice. Discussion focused on the Black and Puerto Rican Union of Hamilton· and Kirkland, as several white students expressed the reluctance they and other have felt in �ntering and using the facilities. The Black students present clearly expressed that the Union is always open to any student, and that repeatedly the white community has rejected any attempts by the members of the Union to communicate their purp�se. It seemed quite apparent that there was a good deal of confusion among the white ·students about the precise political, cultural and social role of the Union, and its dedication to the greater Utica area. A quick and precise solution to this problem does not seerii likely. An increase in understanding is essential. Precise recommendations and the traditional bureaucratic• method of committees were, on the whole, rejected as forced and very artificial. The action must come from concerned students, black and white, and it should start on an informal level. Student

responsibility must be re-emphasized, as no formal administrative policy could accomplish what has to be done. Admissio� applications and the percentage of black students in recent classes have decreased, and if Hamilton is to attract black students and benefit from .their culture and experience, then it must be able to offer them a more rewarding college experience. V. Athletics In the light of the newly formed New England Confer.en.cc in which Hamilton hopes to participate in full standing, the topic of Intercollegiate Athletics became a major area of discussion. Grave concern was expressed by several members present who were "directly concerned about the recent incidents of spectator misbehavior which have led to the severance of several long established ties with various schools. Ice Hockey was the prime example, as incidents with Colgate, Army, Amherst, and Middlebury, have made scheduling difficult, and if such a trend. should continure, it could affect Hamilton's participation in the newly formed league. Players present expressed their position, and several recommendations were made. 1) The Sage Arena is highly conducive to . spectators throwing, spitting, and slandering the players on the ice. Long-range planning should investigate the possibilities of remodeling the inside of the

Admissions policies w�e explored, and it was made clear that no preference is given to any candidate be�ause of athletic ability or inability. Recruiting, under the agreements of the New England Conference is prohibited, and any recruiting that is done must be done by interested afumni or students, and not the coaches. VI. Health Center _ Discussion relating to the function and operation of the Health Center· first considered a list of chronic problems and second p roposed a series of recommendations dealing with these problems. Among the questions asked and possible answers provided we1 the following. What are the Health Cent, s new responsibilities now that Kirklan is fully enrolled? Suggestions included: 1) establishing a planned parenthood program the �mphasis of which would be on educating the students regarding the

abuse and venereal disease treatment are definitely serious matters and as such should be integrated into the program of available medical services more vigorously. 2) that a crisis center be established to handle sensitive matters on a student-to-student level. Specific- Recommendations: A. that the College intensify its search for another physician (part-time) to aid the Medical Director in the treatment of Hamilton and Kirkland students; and the the possibility of a woman physician not be overlooked. B. that the role, constituency and in general the concept of the Student Health Committee be clarified immediately. VII. Honor Court The Honor System at Hamilton was intensively examined, as one member suggested that it was hypocritical and totally ineffective. He also suggested that if this ·was the case, then the entire system should be abolished. This statement provided an interesting point of take off, and out of the discussion several suggestions were made. 1) There seemed to be a consensus that the honor system should remain. It was recommended, in fact, that the honor code should be expanded to include all academic work, not just English papers and hourly

and final exams. It was stressed that the code should cover Kirkland women in Hamilton courses, and all Hamilton men in Kirkland courses as well. Also, the suggestion was made that we explore the possibility of one honor code for both colleges to eliminate any inconsistencies in academic policy. 2} The Honor Court itself, its

I HAVE NEJTHER GIVEN NOR RECEIVED AID IN THIS EXAM Constitution, and its process of elections should be thoroughly re-evaluated. 3) A recommendation was made for the discontinuation of the signing of the pledge. An alternative would be signing a statement at the beginning of freshman year, stating that the student has read and understands the conditions of the honor system, and that he (or she) is willing to abide by them. Thus, whenever the student signs his name� it is, in effect, a renewal of that origi�al pledge, on any item of academic work. 4) A joint discussion of the feasibility of the honor system should be encouraged between Hamilton and Kirkland. VIII. Draft Counseling Discussion centering about establishing an active draft counseling group on campus generated considerable support for implementing a specific course of action as soon as possible. The draft-eligible status of the Class of '75 and of future entering classes makes immediate response imperative. The draft interferes not only with the personal objectives of the student but also with the efforts of the College itself to plan for future development. For these reasons the conference offers the following possibilities: 1) Establishing a draft-counseling group composed of students and faculty. The responsibilities of the group would be to. collect current, pertinent information and to recruit expert assistance in the field of draft-counseling. 2) That draft-counseling become an official student activity under the aegis of the Student Senate and thus be eligible for student activity funds to finance ib activities. 3) Tha( a Winter Study Project be developed by students in cooperation with outside experts and sanctioned by the Academic Council. 4 ) That regularly schedu led presentations describing draft-related opportunities and experiences be offered to the college community. IX. The Role of the President and the One group met with the President, and several of the trustee members attending the conference, to discuss the role of the President and the role of the Trustees at Hamilton. It was a very informative d�alogue, and the following points came

out of their meeting. 1) The Trustees are l,�gally responsible for the direction of the College, but there seemed to be. a good deal of student misconception about their role and power in the college community. 2) The Trustees act as a buffer body. 3) They are concerned with the use of college resources, lopg-:r_ange planning, the

Page 7 hiring and firing of the President, and although they are relatively removed from the day-to-day pulse of the College, they are still involved enough to make informed decisions. The Trustees are not a rubber :;tamp, but oftt;n they approve a point because it has come after a long, and well-researched study which gives them �he needed perspective for a positive decision. 4) The Trustees also have great power which they know they are not using. It was remarked that the Trustees of the College do not want intimate control over college life. The di'scus�ion than focused on the role of the President, and these points were made. 1) The President must constantly be in direct communication with Trustees, faculty, students, the administration, the National Association of College Presidents, and the alumni. It is a job which demands much time and hard work. 2) Work load is basically allotted by one-third to the administration, one-third to money raising and development, and one-third to the pursuit of higher education. 3) The President also expressed his appreciation for the student committees, as they are extremely useful in maintaining his ties and involvement in the student organizations on campus. X. The Future of Adler The fin.al discussion centered around the evaluation of the three days, �nd a look at the future of the conference itself. On the whole it was felt that the conference was a success, and the discussions and dialogue that occurred were very valuable. Several points were raised, and recommendations made, which the 1972 Co-ordinating Committee shall take into consideration. 1) Kirkland College and its role as a co-ordinate college with Hamilton has unquestionably changed the atmosphere and the problems on the Hill. More and more probleIJls which affect Hamilton also affect Kirkland, and so ft was felt that some consideration should be given to Kirkland either participating in or beginning a conference of its own. There was much debate about Kirkland's actual participation, because so many of its own problems spring from the problems of establishing' an identity and a direction. But the suggestion was made that an informal discussion, sometime during the year, be set up to at least identify the problems, and talk about possible solutions. 2) One recommendation was for having several Kirkland delegates present, if only as a valuable source of information and a new perspective. Some concern was expressed, however, about whether female participation would be a healthly or unhealthly distraction. If the retreat became a more social affair. it is feared that the value of Adler would be lost. 3) A suggestion was raised about the possibilities of having the conference once every other year, in order to get the benefit of two new classes' perspectives at the conference. It was felt, however, that in recent years, events at Hamilton have changed with incredible speed. Political action on campus is one example. If two years were allowed to pass, problems might arise quickly, and the· understanding of these problems could possibly be confused. Also, this would limit drastically the number of students who -would be allowed to participate. Besides, the dialogue and communication between students, faculty and administration at the conference is invaluable. 4) Another suggestion was that the Co-ordinating Committee re-evaluate itself and the conference to try to eliminate any self-perpetuating inequities or faults. Such questions as selection of membership, avoiding "elitist" image and control, informing the college_ community of its plans, and seeking a very representative cross section of the students were all suggested.

They were refusal to recognize Israel's very followed at the request of the existence, though Israel is Executive department which unalterably linked to the land in wanted to prevent any all ways. embarrassing incidents, such as Eban's speech was not kidnapping, which could hurt American-Israeli relations.

He is by profession a foreign minister, a spokesman for a'nation under attack and for a people with a tragic history. These things have necessarily made him hard and pragmatic. He spoke Monday night, not as a man cynical or resigned, but as one who has ; ::. tempered harsh reality with a Security men eye Eban crowd continuing hope and ideal for his nation.

Israeli Foriegn Minister Abba Eban

- Commen.t BY J. K. HAGE Winston Churchill called the problems of Arabs and Jews in the Middle East the "second riddle of the Sphinx." In his recent speech on the Hill, Abba Eban reinforced a receptive crowd's opinion that no· riddle at all exists. However, there is a question in the Middle East. Why are there one million three hundred thousand Palestinian refugees? Do you believe that after living several hundred years in the same place they all just voluntarily decided to move to refugee camps? Unlike in western Europe, information about the Middle East conflict in the United States is so one-sided that one feels he must begin by asserting that Arabs really are thinking, feeling human beings with root ties to Family and Land. Several peoples have inhabited the land we now call Israel both before and after the ancient Jews inhabited it. Semitic peoples have always occupied the land, and most pertinently, the indigent Arabs who were there until 1947-1948 had held the land in a direct line of descent since the thirteenth century. However, ever since Theodore Ore Herzl founded Zionism, and the first Zionist Congress met at Basie in August 1897, Jews had been emigrating to Israel, storing arms �and preparing to found their state. while receiving support from Zionist organizations in fifty nations. In their own statement to the United Nations before th.e war of 1948, the Jews "frankly recognized the difficulty involved in creating at the present time a Jewish state in all of Palestine in which Jews would, in fact, be only a minority, or in part of Palestine in which at best, they could immediately have only a slight preponderance." The Jews therefore needed to find a way to remove the indigent Arab population from Palestine, or of course, live in peace and coalition with them. The great tragedy of the Middle East Question, and in my mind the greatest indictment against human nature lies here; instead of taking this unique opportunity to live side by side with the J\rabs, the Jews chose the gun. Well organized, European and American financed Jewish para-military groups attacked, harassed, and terrorized Arab residents, forcing them to abandon their homes and to leave Palestine. When Arab armies came to aid the refugees in 1948 (an action at least as legitimate as the premise behind the Monrpe Doctrine) there were one million three hundred thousand refugees to meet them. The Jews won the ensuing war and passed a law which said that all private land left untended for a specified period would be confiscated by the state. They then refused permission for the Palestinian Arabs to return to their land, thereby allowing the time to elapse so that the Arab land could be legally sold to Jews. Since World War I· when the Arabs bravely fought the Turks for the Western Allies, they had been promised "independence... in all the regions within the limits demanded by the Sharif of Mecca." (McMahon Correspondence). Instead they had British protectorates .and finally the intrusion of a European dominated m·ovement led by a people who had suffered so much and learned so little. The Palestinian Arabs became, like so many others before them, the victims of international exigencies and progress. What ires me the most is that many Americans are quick to recognize similar injustices elsewhere, for example in the case of the American Indian, but because of their vested emotional interests in the Middle East the tragedy of the Palestinian Arabs and the bad faith on which Israel is founded escapes them.

predictably, "Middle East-Its Past Agony and Its Future Hope." After a few introductory remarks, Eban launched into his view of the Middle East, and Israel's historical, cultural, practical, and moral place in it. He spoke with the smooth and intense co�viction of a learned and sincere man. He had a firm, if understandably biased, grasp of the facts, the emotions and the psychology of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Foreign policy is an outgrowth of a nation's collective values and

· Professor Jamison to Prepare .Kirkland Accreditatio n Re port BY KATHY GROVER Certain members of Kirkland College's class of 1972, which will be the school's first graduating class, are at present making applications to graduate schools. It is a matter of pressing concern to them exactly where Kirkland stands in the estimation of the graduate schools to which they h_aye_ chosen to apply. Much of the student's and the graduate school's attention is focused on Kirkland's lack of a formal grading system, and its present lack of accreditation by the Middle States Association. A college or . university cannot be officially accredited until it has graduated one full class. President , Samuel F. Babbitt last spring appointed William A. Jamison as �oordinator of the application · p r o c e d u r e s f o r f o r m aI· .. accreditation.

It has come to our attention that the IFC has spent $2 to print up "Fra�ernity Cards". T�e purpose of the cards is to provide a distinctive identification at fraternity parties. We urge Doc Reisman to spend $2 to print Independent Cards. What a really swell idea! Like wow! Groovy!!! I can't wait to start trading cards with all the kids on the block. I'd give 10 Psi U's for one of your Gryphons! I'd give you two Fred Axelrod's for one of your Jerry Ryans! We can play farsies in the main quad or clos�st to the wallsies, or colors, or just flip·in the Pub. The Root Hall Project can sell sets of five with bubblegum or bargain packs of twelve in clear plastic without the gum. The gum really isn't too good for your teeth. We urge Rick Waters to issue Intramural Star cards. They can be filled with exciting pictures, statistics and an�cdotes about the exploits of your own Intramural Hero. Kirkland College, anticipating this craze, foresightedly has made plans to combine the Card Locks with "Apple Cards". In addition to Cortlands, Macintoshes, Golden Delicious, Crabs, and Granny Smiths, you can buy pictures of you favorite suite-mates or art-student models. Trade you two Hadleys for a Doris?

Draft CounselingProgram To Begin Training Volunteers BY JIM MARCH Advice concerning the newly enacted draft laws is now available in the basement of Root Hall. Under the direction of Matt McKenna '72, the draft counseling center has been - open since' this past Monday. Office hours are 1-3 p.m., Mondays and Wednesdays, and 3-5 P.M. Tuesdays and Thursdays. Presently, McKenna and Jeff Collins '74 are operating the center alone. They are supplying answers to whatever questions Hamilton men have to ask about the Selective Service. Plans for future expansion are a l r e ad y u nd e r w a y . By mid-October McKenna will have trained ten more volunteers of both sexes. With their assistance, plus funds subsidized by the Student Senate for pamphlets, McKenna soon hopes to send out draft counseling teams to the local high schools. So far the crux of visitors have been sophomores involved in the 1971 draft lottery. They 'were curious as to the significance of their individual numbers. In spite of the informal limit set at 150 by the nat ional government, McKenna advises that "all sophomo!es born in 1952 with numbers lower than 200 should most definitely keep his 2-S deferment." Then he added, "We suggest that all other sophomores apply for a 2-S this year, and drop

it during registration next September, to be safe." "All males receive their draft number the year that they are 19. They are not eligible for the actual draft until January 1 of the following year. If they remain 1-A for all December of the year they become 20 and are not selected for military service by midnight December 31 then they will be exempt from all future drafts." The new draft law goes into effect sometime next week. It will last for exactly two years. It states that this year's college freshmen are not eligible _for a 2-s deferment. In the summer of '72 they will receive their numbers, and starting in January 1973 several will be drafted. While discussing the situation for this year's freshmen, McKenna said, "Next year's projected limit j_s 120. This means that almost one third of the class of '75 could be drafted. l really don't anticipate that happening, instead I see about 10% of that number being selected." Nevertheless, McKenna is helping the f reshmen now. He explained, "They should not wait any longer than is necessary. We can start building their case for a possible physical deferment or a C.O. right now. The sooner it is in the better it looks." "It doesn't seem likely that we will have an all volunteer army by next year. but the informalJimits

"They consist of three to five volunteers, approved by the Governor, who must meet at least once a month. The clerks make )most of the procedural decisions, whereas the board gives the final word on individual cases." McKenna urges students to come down and see him if they have any question whatsoever on the new Selective. Service law. "It's far too important a thing to let slide. You shouldn't let the system make decisions with your life."

Harriers Shut Out Alfred Ju dson Set s Record Time

BY T.J. DELANEY Before an· amazed and roaring cr o w d , Hamilton runners launched their 1971 cross-country season by shutting out Alfred, 15 to 50, in one of their fin est team efforts ever. Senior Captain Ken Judson shattered the co�rse recor d set by Tom Carr '71 and five other runners completed the course in under 28 minutes. They were: Vito Stellato, Paul Ford, Marc Peuron, Tim Delaney, and Pete Tylenda. The first yel low Alfred ,hirt appeared after Hamilton's ninth man, op. ly to be passed by f unior Bob Nickerson in a closing ,print: The unusua lly fine times, some

of which dropped up to a minute and a half from the previous week, stunned observers.. Such performances result from a combination of factors: perfect weather, little pr essure and ther efore more relax ed runners, but most of all a very strong and close-knit team. Tomorrow the harriers travel to Syracuse for th e LeMoyne Invitational. Future dual me ets include runs against RPI October 9 and Cortland October 13. Both provide should o p pon e nts difficult competition. Hopefully the Continentals will continue to improve on their remarkable opening me et and individual times.

Fetcher fakes foes

Rosy Counts vs. Alfred� St. Lawrence v·ictors · BY GORDON KAYE The Continental soccer squad opened its season Saturday, September 25 before a large and enthusiastic crowd of home supporters. Coach von Schiller's shooters did not disappoint the fans, scoring six times to Alfred's one. Hamilton dominated play from the start, drawing first blood of the. season on a penalty shot by Tom Droesch '72. By half-time the Blue had a three goal lead, while goalie Jeff Rose '74 and the defense stopped Alfred cold. The second half was a repeat of the first except for one hard earned goal by the Saxons. Highlights of the game included an explosive breakaway goal by Bob "Rosey" Rosenbaum '72. Roman Dombrowsky '74 netted two goals in the game, C.T. Fetcher '72 had one and Dave Nathans '72 had one. With this

game Hamilton closed out its soccer rivalry with Alfred in order to pick up ever-tough Wesleyan University. Wednesday the squad traveled to Canton to take on St. St. Uni v ersity.

groundskeeping employees. Mr. Villani said that the union would like the increases to be the same. Hamilton's Acting Provost J. Martin Carovano explained the reasons for th_e Colleges' position. "We offered a greater increase to the cra ftsm en, because in comparing ourselves with other area colleges (i.e. Colgate), we found that our craftsmen were being less well-treated than �ur janitors and groundsmen. We've also found in our efforts to hire replacements that we are less competitive in the craft areas than 'the others'." The increase in craftsmen's pay represents an 8 and 1/3 percent raise, while the janitorial and groundsmen's increase is 9 percent. Carovano explained that although the Colleges had set aside a certain sum in this year's budget for wage increases to the . maintenance employees, their present offer was approximately 40% higher than the budgeted amount . The janitors and groundsmen make up three quarters of the Union's members; any further increase in therr hourly rate would be a much greater increase in the overall costs of the contract. Villani feels that the Colleges' do have the money necessary to meet the Union's objective. He would like to see President C h a n d l e r participate in the negotiations, because he feels that "if the Preside�t saw how minute the differences are between us, he would be able to resolve them satisfactorily." The Colleges are now being represented by their attorney, Raymond Murray. In addition, Controller Ronald F. MacDonald and Carovano have sat in on the bargaining sessions. Carovano said that the Colleges "saw no purpose in having the President attend any - meetings. He has been kept fully appraised of what goes on every step of the way."

JE:1D ITO I=t.IA..I..S Black and Puerto Rican Union

Last week, the Black and Puerto Rican Student Union made two demands of the Colleges. The first concerned the hiring of a full-time Higher Education Opportunity Program director; the second called for a large increase in the Colleges' budget for the Afro-Latin Cultural Center. Clearly, there is a great need for the rapid hiring of an HEOP director. Unfortunately, the extremely tight _financial situation at both c°-lleges precludes any increase in the salary paid to last year's director. Under these circumstances, we hope that interviews of candidates begin again and continue until a qualified and mutually acceptable person is found who is willing to take the position at the existing salary. The Black and Puerto Rican Student Union has said that it cannot cut its

budgetary demands any further and still present an adequate cultural pr-0gram on campus. We do not feel that funds should be cut from last year's budget; however, we also do not feel that the college community can afford to pay / a great mcrease. The Afro-Latin Cultural Center fulfills an important and positive role on campus and in the Utica area. Still, we believe that in negotiating this year's budget, the Union, as a part of the college community, should recognize the Colleges' financial difficulties. Many aspects of college life, including the academic, e x t r a -curricular, cultural, administrative, auxiliary and others have had to function with financial allotments that were less than hoped for this year. The Afro-Latin· Cultural Center should do the same.

Harriers 2nd at LeMoyne; Judson Breaks Record , "A few yards more and I would have had him." With these wor d s senior Ken Ju d son explained his second place finish at the LeMoyne Invitational in a time of 27:16. While leading the team to a number two place behind Colgate, Judson was six seconds from the winn<_:r, Joe Rukanshagiza of Sienna. Rukanshagiza, a freshman and native of Africa, undoubtably felt at home with the hot muggy weather which discouraged many other runners. Marc Peuron managed twelfth over all, Tim Delaney twentieth and Pete Tylenda twenty-seventh. Delaney and Tylenda, both

considered depth runners, are usually fifth and sixth on the va,rsity. They _have shown steady improvement in the past weeks. The freshmen finished second behind the omnipresent Colgate, led by Dirk Tacke, who grabbed third place. Undaunted, Ken Judson broke a school record five days later. In a practice three mile run with our Hamilton, N.Y. rivals, Judson set a new standard of 14:28:02. The former best by Tom Carr '71 was 15:01'. To quote Judson,"! just hope this cold I've had clears up before RPI." Hamilton takes on the Engineers this Saturday and will finish during the football halftime.

Continental,s Tromped 48-7, 1st Loss to RPI in 12 ·Years

BY HENRY H_ECHT The Hamilton College Football team lost its second consecutive game of the season Saturday, bowing to the Engineers of RPI 48 - 7. It was a surprising loss for a team that had hoped to better· last year's record and had expected RPI to be one if its weaker opponents. Instead of being the least bit weak, RPI came out with a strong d efe nse and potent offense, spearheaded by the fine passing of Bob Baron and the competent receiving of Kalle Konstance who caught three TD passes. Hamilton opened the scoring in the first period when linebacker Andy Sopchak '73 intercepted a pass and sprinted- 35 yards untouched for the TD. Joe R e a g a n ' 7 3 c l o s e d the Continental's scoring for the day, by kicking the extra point. Hamilton's offense has now gone eight consecutive quarters without scoring a point. If Hamil ton hopes to be in contention with its opponents for the remainder of the season, the offense will have to come alive. After Sopchak's touchdown, only one in a series of turnovers t ha t plagued b o t h teams, particularly the Continentals, throughout the game, RPI opened up. When the teams went to the locker rooms the scoreboard read RPI 21, Hamilton 7. The second half was a disaster fo r the Continentals.. Any s u c c essful drive started by Hamilton was stalled by a bad break or an intercepted Mark Rice '73 pass, of which there were several. During the course of the game the Engineers took advantage of

Despite the lopsided score, the heat, not RPI, turned out to be Hamilton's toughest foe. At game time the thermometer had risen to 85 degrees, and it quickly began to take its toll. Jeff Hewitt '74 ·was the first victim of heat ex haustion late in the first quarter. From then on several players, most of them on the hardworking defense, felt the effects of the heat, and four had to leave the game for a time. The

heat slowed do� the team in general and left a much weaker opponent for the Engineers. This weekend the Continentals �Ie looking to amend the two previous losses.

So come on out to Steuben Field and give the offense the spark it needs to ignite.

Winter Study Committee Malres Proposal- to ICland Assemhly

ASSISTANT DEAN OF STUDENTS ROSILAND HOFFA

Mrs. Hoffa Replaces McNutt as· Asst. Dean

BY KATHY GROVER Kirkland 's newly formed Winter Study Committee has dee ded to appeal to the Assembly at the October 25 meeting to request that the requirement that each student engage in at least one supervised winter study be abolished. Presently, legislation requires that each student complete three winter study projects in order to graduate. One of these three must be supervised; that is, developed and executed with a Kirkland faculty member� Another project must be unsupervised, where the student is fully responsible for the project's design and execution, and the third project may be either type. The Winter Study's Committee recommendation, if passed by the Assem bly, would delete the supervised project requirement from legislation but would retain the option to do a supervised project. At i t s first meeting last Wednesday, the Winter Study Committee agreed to- submit an i n t erpretive statement o n faculty-initiated courses t o the Assembly By-Laws Committee. The statement, which has since been issued, is intended, according to Rosalind Hoffa, ex-officio committee member, to "relieve the amiguity" caused by the recommendation of last y�ar's Winter Study Committee to the Assem bly stating that "the c reation of a Winter Study Program which does not offer faculty-initiated courses" w�uld be advisable. The statement of the new Committee is i n tended to communicate how it understands this recommendation. T he Committee interprets the intent of the legislation, drawn up by the Winter Study Committee and passed by the Assembly last sp r i n g , t o mean that faculty-initiated courses are not mandatory but are not prohibited if the faculty member's schedule

The recommendation that the Winter Study Program exclude faculty-initiated courses was presented in a report to the Assembly on the basis of data collected on participation in and reactions to these courses during last year's program.

E:JDITOk�IA.�S Assembly

A common criticism of the Kirkland Assembly is that it is 1 not a truly balanced student-faculty governing body; that power lies more heavily with the faculty. Many feel that issues fly right over the heads of the student_ community., leaving the students bewildered., T his cntlc1sm is often valid smce communication within the student body at Kirkland is difficult. The faculty at Kirkland has th.e advantage of gathering at bi-monthly · meetings where all matters with which they are concerned are fully discussed. Their orga niz a t i on i s such that articulate sugg e st i ons for legislation• are easily funnelled into the Assembly Committees. The efficiency with which the faculty operates makes_ it a potent force on the Assembly. In contrast, the student members have . been un<?rganized, meeting as a group only. at the Assembly meetings, gathering and sharing informatjon about the community through dinner table· "grapevines" and bathroom door notices. Proposals for new legislation by students have been efficiently "- handled only rarely, since few students are aware of the correct procedures and legislative lingo. The students on the Assembly could become a viable force if steps are taken immediately to bring some coherence to a neb u lous student ·organization. Ddrm representatives should start having regular dorm meeti_ngs of informational sessions and discussions. The students on the Assembly should meet regularly outside of the regular Assembly meetings to discuss among themselves issues that are coming up in the Assembly and issues and complaints that were brought up in dorm meetings. Any legislative suggestions could then be drawn up and given to the appropriate Assembly Committee. Only if students organize can they ever hope to become a more articulate group which will be persuasi�e and make everyone feel that the Assembly is more responsive to the needs of the entire community.

Grades As reported in last week's Spectaivr, Hamilton students are presently at a disadvantage when applying to graduate schools that transfer their grades onto a 4-point scale. As used now, the conversion procedure· considers any mark in the A range to be a 4.0, the B range to be a 3.0, the C range to be a 2.0, and the D range to·be a 1.0. If, for example, a Hamilton student gathered one A, two Cs, and the rest Bs during his first three years, his average on the 4-point scale would be approximately 2.9, a high C average. However, in reality, this student would have anywhere from a B­ to a B+ average on his Hamilton transcript. Clearly, a graduate school viewing his record would be rmsmterpreting it if they considered his average to be in the C range. At the moment, the discussion over the 4-point system centers on the pre-med and

pre-law students, since these graduate schools have · national services that convert grades onto the 4-point scale. President Chandler's expressed willingness to contact other colleges with grading systems similar to ours to press for some reform in the medical and law school · application services and his intention to:rnakegraduate schools more aware of both Hamilton's high academic standards and particular grading system are excellent beginning steps in attacking the problem. As a further measure, we strongly urge the faculty and Administration to devise an official statement to b� sent out with every transc;ript that would explain the. inequities involved in translating Hamilton grades onto a 4-point scale. This statement might also contain an alternative ti:anslating system ( i.e. B- 3.2, B 3.5, Bt 3.8, and A- or above 4.0) to be used. We believe such an arrangement would be more effective in commanding the graduate school's attention than having the student write .- a personal note to an Admissions Committee. With the increasing difficulty of being accepted into law and medical school, the .need for action is particularly. important, and we hope the College will act promptly in remedying and unfortuante situation.

Winter Study Now that the policies for this year's Kirkland W inter Study have been established, it is· necessary that their impl�mentation be effective. Since·this year's program depends almost completely upon the individual student's motivation, it is essential that they be advised as to exactly what alternatives they have for pursuing a course of study. Advisors must be provided with adequate guidelines defining what constitutes a valid project, so that they are prepared to counsel students efficiently. The ·coordination of student-initiated courses with students wishing to participate in courses is crucial. The Winter Study Committee w�1l organize a bulletin board for we hope that students this purpose, and will actively participate in this exchange.

Odds- and- Ends We are indeed going to get a Centrax system on campus. Of course, anyone who's been looking at the long strips of grass that have been dug up would know that. Such is the sacrifice we must make for the implementation of a modern marvel. But maybe in a year or so we could get the grass back. Have you noticed those bright colorful· garbage cans around the campus. Somebody must have, for they're filling up with garbage all the time. I wonder where all that waste would have gone if we didn't have those yellow, blue, and green cans around. And can someone please fix the TV in Bristol, so ·we can watch the football games and hear them at the same time. Please enjoy your extra hour�s sleep S a t u r d a y n i g h t .

A commentary on the race for County Legislator of Oneida County.

BY MELISSA CURTISS The office of a county legislator is one which serves the citizens of a community by supervising the spending of funds made available to the community through taxes, federal grants and federal and state assistance programs. The position also involves the presentation of citizens' grievances and views concerning various issues and pieces of legislation the the higher authorities which govern the county. The efficient legislator is one who serves the public by being in constant contact and communication so that he may be aware of their needs and interests and is thus able to promote plans and legislation which will meet those needs. In Oneida county, the office of county legislator is now being c o n t e s t e d . The i ncumb ent Mr . Ca r l Pasia k is a conservative Republican, a farmer and investment manager by occupation. He has ·lived in Oneida county all his life and has held the office of county legislator for five years. Mr. Pasiak's' opponent is Mr. Bernard Flaherty. Mr. Flaherty is t h e c h a i r m a n o f the Clinton Cent r a l School_ Social Studies Departm·ent, an instructor in government and political science at the Mohawk Valley Community College, a certified labor negotiator and a degree holder in constitutional law. Mr. Flaherty is a member of the Democratic party and adheres to a politically liberal ideology which includes a-number of reform proposals for the county. The basic differences between the two men seem to rest in their radically · different attitudes toward the problems which confront Oneida county. Mr. Flaherty is energetically optimistic toward tax reforms which will give the people' of the middle income bracket a tax break. He proposes a greater amount of revenue sharing plans, a n d h e e m p h a s i z es t h e importance of county •referendums concerning taxes and proposed reforms. It is his belief that there is a need for gre�ter constituency expression in the areas of taxes, public service facilities, consumer protection, industrial development and improved transportation facilities. Mr. Flaherty feels that the current legislator and county executive are acting to what they believe and what they feel is best f o r t h e c o m m u n it y; which hardly reflects a rep reseptative government. Mr. Pasiak appears to adopt the approach of a secure bureaucrat, who adheres to inflexible rules of operation and procedure in a manner which does not seem to employ these procedures as successfully as they might be in dealing with .county problems and grievances. The ability to carefully examine a situation or problem is obviously a necessary requirement of an elected official but the interest, ambition and drive needed to pursue a solution is also a requirement of an effective public servant. Mr. Pasiak acknowledges that taxes, unemployment, poor public health services including drug aabuse centers are all problems. However he claims that great effort is being exerted to solve them, and that the reason people of the community may feel that their problems are going unattended is a lack of communication. Mr� Pasiak, it seems, has pointed a finger at himself and has admitted to not doing an adequate job of _publicizing what efforts are being made, what freee or minimal fee public services are to be made available throughout the county and when various important meetings-may occur which would be related to current problems. Both candidates seem to believe that the Hamilton and Kirkland college students offer. a vast store of talent, energy and ability which could be employed in the areas of ecological research, health care and architectural research and supervision of county projects. Both cancµdates ·also have youth groups working for them. However, �­ Flaherty's group has been what he calls the backbone of his campaign, because they are responsible for raising all his campaign funds and organizing canvassing efforts. Also, both hold similar views concerning the challenge of the voter registration laws. They feel that students and all eighteen year olds should by no means be denied their right to vote where �hey reside. However, it would appear that Mr. Flaherty is a good deal more. anxious to see the case decided in the students' favor due to the apparent majority of students who registered as Democrats.

Letzelter to. Retire The - Hamilton Board of Trustees has accepted the resignation of the · Director of Physical Plant John J. . Letzelter, effective December 31. Mr. Letzeleter had expected to leave at the end of the school year last spring, but his resignation was postponed until the end of this calendar year. Acting Provost J. Martin Carovano praised Mr. Letzelter's "unsparing" service to the Colleges. He said that "Mr. Letzelter di_d a very impressive job in his 1 7 years of service." Carovano further state,9 that the college has barely begun to look for a successor. The Trustees also -:1.ccepted the resignations of Assistant Director of Public R-... L:1tions Elizabeth Stanton and Janice Vice President for Resources. Miss Buys, Assistant to Buys was also Direc.. \f Special Projects of Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges.

romantic techniques; Hermie, in "casually" putting his arm around his "Dutch" date, hits her in the cheek with his elbow, and then spends �!even minutes caressing what he thought was her breast but which Oskie_ informs him later was her arm. The drug store scene: Hermie and Oskie are planning a nighttime beach picnic. Oskie is planning a seduction. He says to Hermie "I'll bring the marshmallQws; you bring the rubbers." So, while Oskie waits outside with his harmonica, poor embarrassed Hermie hangs around the drug store until all the ladies have left, and then, to the bewilderment of the druggist, spen d s som e time clo sely scruti nizing the shelves and shelves of merchandise. After saying that he'd "know what he wanted if he saw it," Hermie tells the druggist, "I need a ...I need a...I need a...an ice cream cone!" He. tries again- "I just remembered I need something else. You know what else I need? I need a...I need a...SPRINKLES !" He tries again­ "Do you have...do you have...do you have...do you have any napkins? And db you have any RUBBERS???" Hermie's trials aren't over then because the druggist toss.es about seven brands on the counter, to Hermie's dismay. Hermies says he'll take the usual kind, and about three dozen. The druggist, who seems determined to give him a hard time, tells him how much three dozen would cost-- with the result that Hermie decides to buy three-­ and asks him what the "usual thing" is for a fifteen year-old boy. Hermie says that he wants them for his older brother, who is sick. The druggist asks him what he is going to use them for.

Ab out t hat o ver-use of "atmospheric" effects: Warner Brothers, in 1971 a Kinney Leisure Service, solicitously and nostalgically plastered up posters of some of their heyday releases and stars (Bogart, Davis) and even used a clip of one of their films, "Now Voyag er", to .create "atmosphere" but that and the use o f s t r a t igica lly placed

The makers of "Summer of '42" must have anticipated that their film was going to need all the help it could get if its focus was only to revive a dead decade, so they emphasized the details, but details a feature film do not make. Maybe I've seen too many real and great '40's movies on T.V. to be satisfied an imitation that purports to "tell it like it was". It always seemed that the real '40's flicks had a story to put over despite the period that they were made, yet they were always clearly a product or "relic" of their time. I haven't been as aware of the lighting of a film since I saw "The Night of the Living Dead" last Saturday, but something about the way "Summer of '42" was lit kept throwing me off. On interior scenes, for example, when Oskie and Hermie are on their way to Hermie's room to look at the BY GLENN H.

BY GARRY BRINTON The photography of Aaron Suskind is now on exhibit in Briston Lounge. His uniqueness is that his art deals only with the abstract shapes of nature. He completely rejects whole spheres of photo graphic possibilities: arre sted movement; dramatic subjects; t he ascert a i na ble virtuosity in recording a given view. Instead, he looks for forms which are as highly personalized as any painter could invent. His similiarity to painting is due to his association with New York School Painting. Suskil).d hai pushed photography to the point where it engages one of the most complex and mysterious issues in modern art: the ethics and aesthetics of the

Committee must approve and send back all proposals by December 17, the end of the first semester. Kirkland does not, since it offers no faculty courses, have an exchange program with Hamilton for winter study. A faculty resolution, however, states that Hamilton courses will be available to Kirkland students up to their quotas, after Hamilton students have registered and after Hamilton s t u d e n t s h a v e c om pl eted cross-registration procedures with coordinating colleges. The final deadline for decision on Hamilton winter study projects is November 23. It was indicated at the meeting Tuesday that the Committee, if it appears to be necessary, may ask t he S t eering Committee to appoint more people to the Committee to l ighten the work-load of present members. These appointees will serve as r ead e r s of proposals and self-evaluations, not as policy makers. The Winter Study Committee is comprised of 12 students, five members of the faculty and an ex-offi cio mem ber of the administration. Its purpose is to establish policy suggestions on winter study for apprttval by the Assembly, to review statements of intent which students submit, and to evaluate them. Upon the completion of the individual's program, the Committee examines the student- submitted evaluations and grants credit or no credit in each case. Kathi Wolfe is chairman of the Committee. One faculty member, Peter Ostuni, was on last year's committee, and Mr. Roelofs, Hugh Hartwell, Donald Grayson and Nadine George are new fa culty members.

The Board, which voted tha t such overexpenditures be charged to those responsible for the buying, has no po wer of its own to issue bills or take �ny actio n against any student o r gr aduate of the college who wishes to so indulge himself. The St udent Senate, which has been forced t o deal wit h the situati on with no assistance fr om the school, can do nothing but bill the Charlatans as 1 it has no right to penalize other organiza tions for Mr. Astyk's a c t i o ns. The present Acting Provost of the college has made no contact with the Charlatans Board in respect to what the organiza tion feels can and sho uld be done about this problem. The Charlatans Board is, in fact, reduced t o cbarging admission of the same students whose general fees pay for the production in the first place, and must also for years to come set aside a sizable percentage of its budget to pay for a production future audiences will have had no involvement in.

EECHI( Plans Paper Recycling Project on Hi_ll

BY DAVID CLARKE Hopefully in the near future, EECHK (The ; :.:..·...... . . . . ..· Environmental Ecology Committee for Hamilton ,, and Kirk land) will be starting a paper recycling project. Chairm an J ohn Oster '72 indicated that details are now being w orked out with Hamilton's Acting Provost J. Martin Caravano and the Maintenance Department. If the administration approves, a one month trial period w ould be established t o test the student re action to the idea. Bins would be set aside in each dorm for waste paper to be recycled and if the student response is great enough, the pr ogram w ould become permanent. Long range pr ojects w ould then deal with the recycling of gl ass, plastics, and metal. In additi on to the recycling project, EECHK will be talking to state legislators and members of the Department of C onservation in an eff ort to strengthen the sta te's ecology l aws. A third area of concern will be working to develo p new sewage facilities in l ocal communities and exp and existing facilities. M ost of the work with the state government is planned f or a Winter Study pr oject which �ill consider the legal aspects of the ecology problem. At least eight t o twelve students will spend the {fii!:T!;[}';iff month in Albany working with the Department of Envi r o nm ent a l Conservation and the state legislature. In addition t o advising and talking with peopl e in these ,two bodies, the students will write critiques of the .various environmental bills, to influence the legisla tive c ommittees and will assist _vario�s understaff.ed sections of the department In therr wo rk. Th� _pr ogra1!1 will concl ude with a series of

orientation lectures to Alba ny State Uruvers1ty students, who will be ass!sting the Department. of .. Environmental Conserva tion as part of a sprmg course. Members of the EECHK will also be going t o Albany ma ny times during die course of this semester to talk ab out and make contacts with officials there. In Albany, EECHK will be mo st concerned with the problems of recyc ling, dete rmining p ower plant sites, helping the Department of Environmental Conservation rewrite its budget, and class acti9n lawsuits. The last-named would permit concerned citizens to ban together to t�ke court action against polluting fact ories and businesses. The biggest success of EECHK in the past has been in helping to obtain a $600,000 gr a nt for the town of Marcy's development of a sewage system. EECHK ho pes t o repeat this result in other local communities by encouraging public officials and concerned citizens in these to wns to take action. If this method proves unsuccessful, EECHK will apply pressure through the lo cal media. In devising their plans for this year, EECHK has ab an doned strategy of applying pressure to individual businesses who were the greatest pollutors. This practice is impractical because few such flagrant pollutors still exist, a nd because of bad relations with the local business community. An enlargement of the...EECHK's budget by the Student Senate will hel p finance their wider ra nge of activities. If y ou are interested in getting involved in any way, meetings are held every Monday night at 7:00 in the Backus room of the Bristol C am pus Center.

BY JOAN TUCHMAN The agenda of the fall meeting of the Kirk land Board of Trustees last weekend was outlined by P resident Samuel F. Babbitt at Monday's community meeting. T he T ru stee Finance C om m i t t ee a n n o unced that because the college is operating with a deficit in excess of $1½ million, additional loa ns may have to be contracted from Hami lton. Thus far Ham il ton has lent Kirk land one million dollars interest-free, though future loans w i l l e nt a i l i n terest. T h e Committee rep ort sho wed that last year's expense predicti on wa s a c c u r a t e , excep t f o r a n unexpected increase in engineers' ra tes. President Ba bbitt stated that Kirkland needs $750,000 per year in new money to cover costs. If the college has less than this, as a t present, it must borr ow. Should it have more, an endowment could begin. Kirk land 1?-as received nine milli on dollars in gifts so far, which is about one-third of its g oal for the decade. The L ong Range Planning Committee discussed three new programs: a spring institute for college graduates; a seminar in F e b r u a r y o n w o men a nd education; a nd additional lectures, via the funds from a Sperry and Hutchinson grant. P ossible summer use of the campus through a three semester plan is still being studied. Babbitt expla ined that fiscal results will be better in that the same facilities will be utilized by more students. Howe'{er, college enrollments are leveling off and are due to drop

VD ('Epidemic' Continues;_ Dr. Roe Urges Treatment

BY DAVID STIMSON The start of the 1971-1972 school year sho ws a c ontinuation of the venereal disease epidemic that has been sweeping Hamilton and Kirkland, a s well as the rest of the country, for the past five years. Although a l arge number of cases have been reported, Dr. Leon Roe, C ollege Physician, commented that this reflects only 40 % of the total number of cases. Dr. Roe attributed this small percentage . t o the difficulties of detection and to the fear tha t the information will somehow "leak" out of the Health Center. He emphasized that the inf orma tion is completely confidential and goes no further than a statistical report to county heal th department, as required by law. G onorrhea the is more prevalent f orm of the VD epidemic because ma ny cases are not diagnosed, of if they are, the trea tment is not adequ ate. Detecti on is especially hard in' women, who are often told by their physician or gynecologist that they don't have the disease when actually they do. "If the physician trea ts the patient with penicillin, the dosage

is usual!y not adequate," Dr. Roe said. "·Fu rthermo re, some majo r strains of gonococcus are resistant to penicillin. With inadequ ate di a gn o sis t reatment, a nd , gonorrhea continues to sp read." To avoid these problems, the Hamilton Health Center uses a newly develo ped culture for detection, which has resulted in a m ore reliable percentage of positive- results. Trobicin, a new_ drug, is being used for treatment, in which one injection is all tha t is needed to cure the disease. Dr. Roe stressed the need for pr ompt treatment of those peopl e who suspect tha t they .. have gonorrhea. He cited cases where the male wa s cured, only to be infected again by his uncured pa rtner. Women can act as incubators for the disease, which may lie dormant for l ong periods of time, unless they are p roperly treated. Dr. Roe emphasized that VD is a serious disease, one wliich can lead to maj or illnesses such as arthritis, sterility, and the inflama tion of glands and heart val ves. He advised, "It's no disgrace to have gon orrhea, but ·it is a disgrace to know about it and not ha ve it cured."

THE SPECTATQR

EDITORIA..L.S Evaluations Kirkland seniors applying to graduate schools have found that some schools' admissions policies require grades. It is also possible that those grad schools that do accept Kirkland's evaluations may not be giving them a fair consideration. Finally, prelaw and premed students must furnish college tr�scripts to be sent through data assembly services which also require grades. Kirkland's present system of translating evaluations into grades is inadequ·ate for · several reasons. Evaluations are often highly subjective and cannot easily be "�ranslated" into a definitive grade assessment. It is difficult, if not impossible, for� professor to recall the exact quality of a student's work after a period of three years, during which time the professor may have had little or no contact with · the student. In addition, Kirkland's faculty has changed during the past three years, and many professors cannot be contacted for evaluation ·translations. SCACA will soon be grappling with these problems as they consider the desirability of a grading system. In doing so, they should not lose -sight of the basic academic _philosophy upon which Kirkland exists. This philosophy rejects. a grading system� as. an adequate method for evaluating students' work. The present method of evaluations functions as a valuable communication process between professor and student that encourages individualized assessment and personal contact. S-uch a philosophy must be weighed against the realities of graduate school applications before a decision can be reached. If grades are deemed a desirable adjunct, though in a secondary position, to the evaluation method, a possible system would be to give grades at the same time that evaluations are written. These grades could be kept on closed file, not to be shown to students until graduation_ or at application time, but to be made available to advisors who could keep the student appraised as to her general · grade performance. In both cases, problems could arise. With grades on

closed file, the pressure · of_ academic competition may be reduced, but the secrecy of a closed file system may be undesirable. An open file sysem of grades may produce academic pressure that is also undesirable. It should be further noted that some subjects may not lend themselves to any grading. If Kirkland decides not to make any provisions for a secondary system of grades, because it is incompatible with the school's academic philosophy, this should be made clear in admissions' catalogues and brochures sent to prospective students. It would be unfair not to inform them of the problems of a non-grading system. We hope that in the ensuing weeks, the Kir kland com m u nity g iv e s c a r eful consideration to the available fact�, for it is imperative th�t a clear decision be . reached and put into action soon.

Parking Motor vehicles are rude obscenities thrust on the campus. They belch noxious fumes and curse our ears with a cantankerous din. The only sound more conducive to migraine than a jackhammer chorus is a Kawasaki concerto. The _only smell that makes you want· to retch more than Service System's broccoli is a '5 9 Chevy backfire. Who really has to drive to class, even to the ScienG_e building. Life has improved so much on the main quad since cars were banned that students and faculty should simply know· enough to try to keep their cars and trucks and motorcycles and jeeps off the campus. No one needs carbon m, ·1 �,oxide m�chines pushing you off the roads, and no one needs machines tearing up the lawns. And we hope that no one would ask for more parking lots. y OU don't need one under your bedroom window; there are plenty of empty spaces in existing lots. No one should give an inch of green over to asphalt to park somebody's Volkswagon. Hurrah for all the bicycle riders and walkers. Hiss upon all who insist on driving their noisome machines.

- Comment· -

Chi Psi is no longer a member of the Interfraternity Council. We, the members of Chi Psi, made this decision unanimously because we feel that the IFC no longer serves our interest as a unique and viable residential option. We believe that the IFC has shown itself unwilling to change the fraternity system to one that best serves the need$ of the majority of the college community. Our major changes have to do with rushing. We are confident that by abandoning the present formal and regimented rushing system, we will minimize the pressure ' on both the fraternity and the freshmen. Chi Psi will start offering bids to freshmen after November 1. Bids will be binding on the fraternity but not on the freshmen. Once an individual accepts our bid, he will be a full member of the lodge. If, at any time in the future, he becomes dissatisfied with Chi Psi, he is free to leave with no stigma attached. We are deemphasizing traditional rushing activities (beer rolls, etc.) and placing more emphasis on personal contact between members and non-members. Although we will not be bound by the forced seoaration of freshmen and upperclassmen in December, our rushing activities

will, in no way, interfere with the academic life of any student. We are proi.id of our lodge: its closeknit brotherhood, its sound financial standing, and, most of all, the independence available to each member. Yet we feel that Chi Psi could, and must, become a more integral part of the Hamilton-Kirkland community. Withdrawing from the IFC is our first step in trying to better our relations with independents, with the faculty, and with the women of Kirkland College. In line with the conclusions of the Adler report, we are trying to change our organization so we can better offer what we feel is a unique residential option. We hope that our action in withdrawini from the IFC will not be misinterpreted. We act not from a position of weakness. We are _ not trying to get a head start on other fraternities with regard to rushing. We are not trying to undermine the fraternity system at Hamilton. We are merely trying to offer an alternative to both old style fraternities and independent life. Our action is evidence of our willingness to change to pieet the changing needs of the Hamilto�-K.irkland community. The Members of Chi Psi

To the Editor: . Known to some and not to others, Gryphon has just re�ently undergone a_ rather startling change. From the membership of 7 in the old fraternity of the same name we have now jumped to a number of 23. We have revised the old constitution to form what some may call a society and what others may. call a social dorm. The fact is that it is an organization which now provides both social and residential facilities to its members. We do not intend to rush freshman although we will discuss it wit,h many of them to spread the word and build interest. We don't actually believe in the rushing system as it is beside the fact that we have been excluded from it. Unfoitunateiy everyone else seems to be the e experts on Gryphon and they don't really know beans about the situation. I'm sure that some have seen me and some of the other guys from old Gryphon running around talking things over with administrative official after official to find out exa�tly what could be done and what couldn't be done to assure the security and longevity of the new organization. From what I can tell, the contract with the college states that the agreement made with Hamilton Lambda Chi Alpha (the alumni corporation of Gry phon - now defunct) and the college also applies to the successors and assigns of the two · signing organizations. Therefore since the new Gryphon is a successor. we have rights to the rooming in Bundy and the use of the facilities. as the Fraternity once had All of the bills of the old organization have been paid and a letter has been sent to all previous creditors who may still have uncollected debts stating that the new organization is not responsible for debts incurred by the last regime and that no arrangements will be made to pay such debts after November 10, 1971. As you can see, we have covered every possible problem which is a major cause of the delay m reorganization. Unfortunately we had to let all sorts of rumors circulate because we could not refute any claims without actual concrete evidence as to what was taking the place of Gryphon. The membership pays a small semester fee ($10) which covers possible maintenance costs and replacement of recreational equipment. The idea being that when we decide to have a party, only those members who will be att�nding it will chip in a small amount to defray the cost of the party, instead of paying a large fee each semester a:t;1d possib\y not be able to attend a big function of the group. This was the biggest cause of friction and non-bill-paying ·· in the old organization. . _ . We have found however that the food service has put a slight cramp in our style since we have to traverse the hill for meals 0n the weekends. We hope that there may be some solution to this problem this coming year with the students in on the discussions about the proposed plans. We are not trying to undermine the fraternity system with this plan. We are, instead, trying to find a viable alternative to the system which can work in the present bounds of that system. We are very willing to work with other fraternities and to possibly have co-prdinate activities with them. There is an endless number of~ possibilities which can evolve. If there are any other questions about our group, its organization, or its goals please contact me or any of the members of Gryphon. 0

Drama Prof. Bell to Explore New Possibilities for Theatre

BY SUSAN BELL R i c h a r d B e l l , Assistant. Professor of Theatre, came to Kirkland this year from the Graduate School of the Arts at Columbia University, where he dealt mainly with undergraduate students. Mr. Bell moved here because he "wanted to begin exploring the possibility of helping to create a new model for theatre." He sees a need to overco·me "emotional stagnancy", to found a "theatre dependent on human, rather than monetary or material resources." Kirkland - and Hamilton, for several reasons, present Mr. Bell with a unique opportunity for realizing a new dimension in theatre. Bell feels that the present d r a m a s e t - up here is "dilletan tish," having no specific set of values or discernable form. He also sees the college setting as being more adaptable to positive c hange than the professional theatre. "Students are_ still .vulner a b l e enough to open themselves to an extension of their emotions." Mr. Bell said that it is too early to tell what is going to hap.Jen here, but he senses a great amount of latent energy within the two schools. Jie also recognizes a problem resulting · from the "still tenuou s'' situation between Hamilton and Kirkland. He hopes that the new theatre program will provide an avenue for pulling -the two bodies together. This is absolutely necessary to the theatre because it is impossible to work with just one school. Mr. Bell is presently trying to set up a Winter Study in theatre. This course will not be an independent study; students will be working in small groups in such

To the Editor: After reading Dana Chenkin's review of Carnal Knowledge several weeks ago, which could most kindly be described as unperceptive. I rather hoped The Spectator would show greater discrimination in the future as to its choice of reviewers. It was therefore with extreme horror that I read the same reviewer's maltreatment of the very fine Summer of '42, which appeared in last week's issue. In all of· her unnecessarily long and tedious dissertation, Miss Chenkin manages to make only two valid points, the first of which is obvious: that Jennifer O'Neil "is a beautiful woman." The second is that the Summer of '42 l a n d�ca p e s are indeed 'Andrew Wyeth-like." The rest 'of the review succe�ds in either saying nothing at all, making false statements about the film, or ruining the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it, by unhumorously recounting its funniest scene. To be more specific, Miss Chenkin's review seems to provide

a medium through which she t here was no "dubbing" in fulfills a desire to put phrases like Summer of '42, since the dialogue "get laid" and "RUBBERS" (note was recorded as the scenes were the capital letters) into print, being filmed.

Awareness Sessions Offer Transcendental Jfeditation

BY ROBIN HERMAN Transcendental Meditation, as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi will be presented here ·i n a lecture series for the benefit of students. Marc Berkowitz, a representative of the Students International Meditation Societv, gave an in-t rod uctory lecture Tuesday night on the history, philosophy, and physical manifestations of Transcendental Meditation. Transcendental Meditation is an ancient Eastern technique that has developed a large following in recent years. Since it was first introduced to the western world twelve years ago, TM has received

a remarkably positive response, especially on college · campuses. , The number of people meditating has doubled during each of the past five years and several colleges have instituted full credit courses dealing with meditation and the awareness it produces. The ultimate goal in TM is to achieve a real state of fulfillment through t h e e x p a n s ion of awareness into a state of pure consciousness. This state cannot be ac hieved through normal thought processes because only one to ten per cent' of the mental capacity is normally utilized. Every thought is developed

Community Chorus to Offer Varied Music BY LAURA TENNEY

Clinton now has a Community Chorus that is open to all who like to sing, including Kirkland and H am il t on s t u d e n t s, faculty, administrators and members of the Clinton and Utica community. A c c o r d i ng to Kirkland's Assistant Professor of Music and D ir ector of the Community Chorus, Hugh Hartwell, the Chorus was formed in response to a popular demand voiced last year. Many stud�nts and faculty

who were unable to join official choral organizations expressed the desire for a chance to sing. The C horus' repertoire is varied, including new and old choral selections. There are no tryouts or auditions necessary. Mr. Hartwell dia' not foresee any performances by the group this year and emphasized that the Chorus was formed mainly for the enjoyment of singing together. All interested singers are urged to come Tuesday nights, 7:30 to 9:30, to the Lisi Recital Hall.

Dancer Edward Ville lla To Appear in Utica Mon. Edw�d Villella, considered to be America's greatest male dancer, will appear at 8:15 p.m. Monday, October 25, in the Stanley T h e a t r e f o r the sec o nd performance of the 1971-1972 GRE AT ARTISTS S ERIES sponsored by Munson-Williams-­ Proctor Institute. Included in the program for TH E E D W ARD VILLELLA ENS EMBLE w i l l be Valse Fantaisie by Glinka, Stravinsky's Agon Pas de Trois, works by Shostakovitch and Tchaikowsky, and the folk music Shenandoah. All works in the program have been choreographed by George Balanchine or by Villella. Villella, who was recently featured in a lengthy article entitled "Encounter with an Athlete" in the Septembe_r 27 issue of Sports Illustrated, is a Bayside, New York, native. He began to study dance at the age of nine, and by the time he had reached college age, he was o ne of the most promising students at George Balanchine's School of American Ballet. However, at the insistence of his parents, he agreed to attend college and obtained a B.S. degree in marine transportation. Later he returned to dance and made a spectacular debut in 1957 as a soloist in "Afternoon of a Faun" with the New York City Ballet. ·In addition to his continuing and highly successful career with that company, Villella has made

frequent appearances with other dance troupes, in concert, and on television. I n Ma r ch 1968, he was honored through a television special in the Bell Telephone Hour series, entitled "Man Who Dances: Edward Villella." Critic Walter Terry in Saturday Review hailed him as "a great dancer, a great artist--one of the best that America and, indeed, the world has ever produced." V illella, who has been a lifelong sports enthusiast ·active in high school and college sports, is recognized as a superb athlete. A Life magazine article entitled "Is This Man the Country's Best Athlete?" noted· that Villella "... embodies the strength and reflexes of a b o x e r , t h e t im i ng of a quarterback, the grace of a diver...has to be ranked with the Yastrzemskis, the Namaths, the Muham mad Al i s ." As such, Villella has done much to dignify the career of the male dancer in this country. He "a c o n s i d ers ballet beautiful...manly art, a refined for m of athletics" and has e x p lained, demonstrated, and successfully conveyed this belief to students in many high schools in Manhattan. I n a d d i t i o n t o these lecture-performances in schools a nd his intense and varied schedule throughout the year, Villella has also choreographed several dances for the New York City Ballet.

from a fainter and more abstract impulse which is not perceivable until t h e later stages. The technique of TM allows the meditator to follow the thoughts back to the source through increasing refinement. Eventually the mind transcends the subtlest activity of thinking and reaches the source, a state of pure awareness. TM is the easiest tvpe of m editation to study in the labo·r ator y b ec au s e ·o f its widespread use and the speed and ease with which it is learned. The physiological results of these lab studies indicate that the body achieves a state in TM that surpasses the rest of a deep sleep. However, the mind does not slow down correspondingly and is still able to respond to stimuli. This state, known as restless alertness, may indicate a fourth major state of consciousness, different from the other three states of wakefulness, dreaming and deep sleep. T h e deep rest results in increased energy for daily activity and allows fatigue, tension, stress, and anxiety to be _dissolved naturally. There are obviously, accompanying mental benefits. Meditation allows the individual a wider range of experience and clarity of perception. This series on Transcendental Meditation will continue on November 4 with a lecture on mechanics. Any students who are interested in further training then have the opportunity to learn how to actually meditate. In a private interview, Mr. Berkowitz will ask a student to commit himself in three ways before starting: there will be a charge of $35 which will go to further publicize TM, the student must be willing to give four consecutive days to learning the process and refrain from using non-prescription drugs for fifteen days prior to November 5. After these sess ions, only fifteen minutes' twice a day is necessary for a more fulfilling life.

Furthermore, you are incorrect in believing that the entire dialogue of Summer of '42 was recorded synchronously.

GRADE SYSTEM To the Editor: The Spectator has grossly misinterpreted the 4-point grading system in its editorial of October 15, entitled "Grades." "Grades" presented us with a typical Hamilton senior who .would be placed at a disadvantage when his Hamilton grades are translated to the 4-point scale by E.T.S. Our senior had · a grade-point av�rage (G.P .A.) of 2.90. "Grades" st�ted that this average would be interpreted as a "high C average" on the 4-point scale, whereas, "in reality (Hamilton reality?), this student would have anywhere' from a B- to B+ average on his Hamilton transcript" (if he could ever get to see it!) I t 's q uite scary to be mercilessly and helplessly weighed on a new scale so inherently disadvantageous to Hamiltonians. All of those hours you spent holed up in the Main Reading / Room of Ellen C. James' Library were wasted! Just because of a silly problem in translating your grades, you suddenly discover that you won't be able to follow in the footsteps of Marcus Welby or Perry Mason after all! Your mother, who has been telling all her friends about her son who is going to be a doctor, will die of shame, right? Wrong! Luckily for us shaky seniors, "G rades" was just another editorial in the ancient (since HMS) and revered "Speculator" tradition of beginning with false premises in order to jump quickly to an errorneous conclusion (does anyone know where we can get in touch with David H�ckett F i sche r?) . Had the Editors investigated instead of speculated they would have learned that· no g raduate school worthy of attendance by a Hamilton Man would conclude that our -2.90 students had earned him a "high C aver age." Even in the real "reality," they would give him his d ue-- an average somewhere between B- and B+. To understand why this is so, one must do what our Editors did not do--come to understand how one interprets grades on a 4-point scale. Using our 2.90 student, w_e will discover that his actual Hamilton average may be found somewhere between 31.2 and 8 7 .2. It is quite possible that his avei;age would fall at about 84, or just a bit below an "even" grade of B. Returning ,to· the 4-point system, we find that, much to our surprise, a G.P.A. of 2.90 falls just below a G.P.A. of 3.00, which is considered to be NOT the lowest possible· B, but rather an EVEN grade of B (roughly equivalent to an 85). In other words, the systems produce strikingly similar results. Both would locate our 2.90 student in the middle B range. (B grades range from 2.60 to 3.59.) Since no horrible disadvantage appears to be lurking on the horizon (if disadvantages can lurk), I beg, plead, pray that the College does not follow the advice handed down from Mt. Bristol's Third Level. The College would look quite foolish if it devis�d an "official statelllent to be sei;it out with every transcript" expl¥ning non-existent inequities "invblved in translating Hamilton grades onto a 4-point scale." Even if the College did resort to such silliness,

Editor's Note: We truly hope that

Mr. Rogan's interpretation of the 4-point system is the correct one, for if so, Hamilton students are not at a disadvantage when subject. to the pure mechanics of c on v e r t i ng grades from our system. However, despite Mr. Rogan's vehemence in ·taking his stand, we do not feel he is completely qualified to judge how a law or medical school interprets avera.((es on the 4-point scale. While there are students and faculty in agreement with Mr. Rogan, the fact that the Dean,

problem is not a new one. DePuy emphasized that the matter under consideration is not the elimination of dogs from campus, but rather their control. DePuy listed several specific conditions to support his contention that controls are necessary. "Dogs have turned the Science Building into a 'urinal' ". He mentioned that on several occasions, people reaching for books on the lower shelves of the library stacks have found th emselves and th e books covered with ·excrement. Defecation by dogs in college buildings is very common. Urinating on walls, floors, books, chairs, coats, food trays and grandfather clocks is common. Dog fighting both indoors and outdoors is also a problem. Cats have been attacked and smaller dogs have been badly injured by larger dogs. Dog fights in Commons have become frequent and dangerous even to students. Barking in classroom buildings has disturbed classes, and fights and rough playing on the paths have bothered pedestrians. A faculty member claims to have been attacked by a dog at night. Campus gu ards have supposedly been bitten, and small children have been harrassed. Some people, however, claim that the dogs are not a problem. The presence of dogs is a common condition on campuses across the country. DePuy mentioned one opinion he has encountered which Continued on page seven·

BY BILL PURCELL Associate Dean Hadley S. DePuy renewed the attack on the campus dog problem in a memorandum to administration, faculty and students which stated: "We have a problem with stray or abandoned dogs. They disrupt classes, fight in the library, sometimes bite students, and occasionally commit gross anti-social acts. These events are upsetting to the academic program." An official Hamilton policy on dogs will be forthcoming next week. The actual control of dogs on campus comes under th e jurisdiction of Acting Provost J. Martin Carovano. DePuy said, howe.ver, that "the eventual policy will be decided upon with students." The matter has been put before the Senate Buildings and Grounds Committee. DePuy feels that a, single policy must be established for both Hamilton and Kirkland, but without student support and cooperation, no policy but the total expulsion of anjmals could work. While DePuy stated that the problem is not a new one, he f eels that it has worsened considerably. Since September. 1 th ere has been not only a large increase in the number of older dogs running loose, but an increase in the number of young dogs and puppies.

By Fatal Dutch Elm Disease

BY JIM McCREA Few areas of rural America h.:.ve escaped the onslaught of Dutch elm disease and the Hill has not been among th e fortunate ar eas. The losses this year have been unusually high. It appears that the problem on the Hill has intensified this year. For the past seven years the College has lost an average of six trees per ye ar, both on and off campus. This year the toll among elms, which mak e up 40% of the trees on campus, has been 16. Included �ere seven trees on campus, four on the golf course and five at other are as including faculty homes. Dut_ch elm disease is a fungal disease carried by the one-eighth inch long elm bark beetle. First College Forester Hendrik van Loon detected in the U.S. in 1930, it attacks certain elms, among them the stately American Elm. The fungus affects water movement in the tr ee, causing it to wilt and die. College Forester Henrik van contract calls for two separate Loon noted that "there is some morning, increases, one on June 16, 1972 indication that the problem is Wednesday On October 27, the members of the and another on November 15 of intensified by past drought Service Employ ees International the same year.

year to maintain strength and resistance to the fungus. Over the past five years more than 60 new trees have been plant ed on the campus proper and more on other college lands. Replacement plantings have been either native trees or proven exotics. The trees are mostly hardwoods but van Loon also uses some evergreens "to tak e the starkness out of Winter." The selected r e pl ac e m e nts are according to the area in which they will be used. Considerable research is being conducted in an attempt to control Dutch elm dise ase. Promising areas of inquiry include � e sterilization of the male elm b ark beetle and the introduction

of a parasitic wasp that preys on the l arval stage of the beetle. It is not known whether the wasp is �ufficiently winter-hardy to be used in Northern areas such as Clinton. A problem unrelated to the Dutch elm disease is affecting the white ash on campus. A "die-back" is occuring. The cause, prevention and cure of this problem are unknown but van Loon feels that it is also related to the drought of the mid-sixti es. Problem areas on campus for Dutch elm disease and white ash "die-back" include the area in front of the Science building and the area to the east of North dormitory. Due to th� close

BY NEIL SCHEIER The Inter-Fraternity Council held a meeting October 2g to complete their rushing rules. According to IFC Chairman Matt McKenna '72, the final IFC proposal reads as follows: The current rushing rules will be extended until January 3, 1972. There are no restrictions on the rushing proc edures of any house except that no bids can b e given out prior to January 3. Bids, which will be binding on the house but not on the freshman, may be given out anytime between January 3 and March 5. The will indicate freshman his non-binding acceptance of the bid by handing in his bid card to 'Associate D ean DePuy. Any arrangement mutually accepted by both the freshman and the f raternity can be formulated during the January 3 to March 5 period

The IFC proposal also stated t hat u p perclassmen may be accepted by a fraternity at any time. At a meeting Tuesday, October 26, the Student Senate voted 10 to 9 against a Chi Psi proposal which, had· it passed, would have allowed Chi Psi to hand out non-binding bids on November 1. The IFC proposal will come be fore the Student Senate for a vote on Tuesday, November 2. If ratified, the members of Chi Psi indicated th�t they would appeal to the Faculty Student Life Committee. According to Chi Psi Student Senate Representative John Finan '73, the lodg e feels that there is a fault in the present rushing system. Chi Psi President Doug Crowe ll '72 said that the presen rushing system puts too much pressure on both the freshmen and the fraternities.

Advisory Comm.Makes Health Recommendations to Col ege BY STEPHEN PERCY The Student Advisory Health Committee recently made three the to recomme nda tio ns Administration and Health Center concerning campus health and safety problems. The pro.posals included suggestions on fraternity living conditions, speed limits on Campus Hill Road, and the e q uipige of the college ambulance. first recommendation The concerns the low grades some fraternities received during a recent fraternity health and in sp ection tour. The Health Committee believes that the relative independence of the fraternities from college �ontrol usually hampers action on the t�mr's finding. The committee has written a letter to the Administration suggesting that the tour's results be given more serious consideration. The second proposal concerns the traffic and speed conditions on College Hill Road. The speed limit on College Hill Road is currently 45 m.p.h., much faster than most speed limits cm roads passing through campuses. The occurrence of several accidents on this road has prompted the Committee to recommend that the speed limit on College Hill Road be reduced to 25 m.p.h. The Committee also suggested that the _ 35 m.p.h. speed limi� on the curve in front of Theta Delt Health The reduced. be Committee suggested that a flashing yellow light be installed near the. entrance to Kirkland College, so that more caution will be exercised there by motorists. Finally, the Health Committee has proposed that a medical kit be stored in the school ambulance -­ a Ford LTD station wagon -- for emergency use. Currently no medical bag is permanently stored in the ambulance. It was also recommended that me.dical bags be stored in the science buildings, where lab accidents could occur. Health A d v isory The Committee for Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges was created at the· beginning of this school year to supercede the Drug Committee. The _ chief duty of the new committee will be to act as a liason between the student body and the college health facilities. The Health Committee desires to inform the college community of the facilities · and services offered at the Rudd Health Center. The Committee will also be concerned with other types of health and safety problems disease, incl u ding venereal abortion, planned parenthood and drugs. The Health Committee has initiated several programs dealing with health and safety. A program has been start�d' voluntetr . students to dona\b 'their time on weekends to assist at the ·Health Center and talk with patients. A d v isory H�a}th The Committee has also sponsored first aid lectures in the• ??Pe that an emergency squad . may be formed. This squad would be available to give emergency first aid when Dr. Roe is not immediately available. The Health Committee plans to publish a booklet for all students on general health µiformatiqn.

for

One secti�n of the booklet will be devoted to describing at length the various facilities, programs, and services offered at the Health Center. A second section of the book will discuss other local medical . health programs, including free ambulance service. The college insurance policy will be explained in the booklet. Finally, the booklet will describe in simple terms the diagnosis and treatment of venereal and other diseases. The Committee also plans to circulate a questionnaire to ascertain student knowledge and awarenes� of the Health Center. Students will also be asked to evaluate the current health fa cilities and to suggest improvements. The A d v isory H eal t h

Committee is composed of Hamilton and Kirkland students; faculty, and administrators. Dr. Leon Roe, Dr. Don Muilenberg, Nurse Jeanne Culkin, Chaplain Joel Tibbets, Dean Hadley DePuy and Professor Sidney Wertimer, Jr. compose the faculty and adminiStration segment of the Committee. Students on the Committee include .Chairman Jim Rishel '74, Jim Braude '73, Steve Williams '73, Joe Marca! '72,Jim Rothbard '73, and - Steve Wagoner '74 of Hamilton, and Heather Chalmers· '72, Andrea English '72 and Lisa Farnan '75 of Kirkland. The Committee is currently seeking for freshmen to join the Health Committee, and any interested freshman may contact Jim Rishel '74 through compus mail.

The.Kirkland College Assembly passed Monday the Winter Study Committee's motion that the supervised project requirement be abolished. The Assembly also accepted the By-Laws Committee's interpretation of faculty-tnitiated course legislation passed last spring. The l e g islat ion passed stipulates that "the requirement that one of three Wint"er Study projects be supervised be abolished, while at the same time the option to do a supervised project remain open.'' The rationale behind the proposal is that since no official slate. of faculty courses exists this year, the overload upon the faculty would be too great were this requirement kept. President Samuel .F. Babbitt moved that t!?-e wording "the supervised requirement"., in the original motion be changed to "the requirement that one of three Winter Study projects be supervised" in order to alleviate ambiguous wording and to clarify the point that three Winter Study projects are still required for graduation. This requirement will apply to the class of 1974 and subsequent classes.

The By-Laws Committee's statement on faculty-initiated coui:ses presented to the Assembly is the result of a previous interpretive statement recently submitted io that committee- by the Winter Study Committee. The By-Laws Committee presented the Assembly with an interpretation on legislation already passed last spring by the Assembly. The original legislation was ambiguous in that it seemed to stipulate that the Winter Study program would not contain any faculty-initiated courses. The By-Laws Committee's was which interpretation, accepted by the Assembly, states faculty-initiated while t hat courses are not mandatory, they are nevertheless not prohibited if the faculty member's schedule C ommittee The pe.r m i t s . understands that the decision as to whether the faculty member's schedule permits ordinarily rests with the Division. the p a s sing I n recommendations of the Winter Study Committee, the Assembly agreed that the Winter Study Program will not depend primarily on faculty-initici-ted courses, and it is assumed that few such courses will be offered.

RUSHING To the Editor: We are appalled at the inability, year after year, of the IFC and the members of the Hamilton community to meet the needs of the freshmen and the fraternities in rushing procedure. Although Chi Psi established a dangerous ,., precedent of self-regulated rushing procedure, we I admire their initiative to institute a constructive -change in the system. We note several advantages to such a modification. Firs.t, it permits the individual freshman who has a firm idea of his fraternal interests to make. an early decision. Second, it attempts to reduce the rushing procedure from tpe period of five months which puts an undue social and academic burden on the freshmen and the members - of the respective fraternities. Finally,' it alleviates the pressure on both the fraternity members and the freshmen which culminates on Rushing Weekend. There is, however, _one serious disadvantage to this proposed change. The principle of the unbinding bid would not, in essence, change the existing system. Rushing would continue since other fraternities would still be able to compete for freshmen in this unbound situation. This is not a significant change, but is a step in the ' right direction. We offer a proposal to the Student Senate, the IFC, and the Hamilton community, in an effort to achieve a uniform system of rushing . which will meet . �e uEgent needs of Hamilton today, and hopefully give some direction for a consistent rushing pattern in the future. We agre,e with Chi P.si in establishing a rushing period in November which is .advantageous to· bofh the fraternities and the freshmen. However, in past years, a single Rushing Week or Weekend has proved inadequate. .We propose two periods, rather than one, and we feel strongly that this will not double the prohlems of the past. The fir.st period would be for one day, in the third week in November, when .bids- -which ar.e binding to both the freshmen and the · fraternities may be offer:ed. We feel that one .day would be sufficient for those freshmen ·.with firm fraternal sentiments.It should.be stressed that freshmen must not feel pressured or compelled to join at this time. A second period, three days in duration, would t<l,ke place during the first week in April immediately following the Spring Recess. This would permit the freshmen two weeks, off-campus, to establish their decisions concerning fraternity membership. Particular Rushing Regulations and administrative details w�uld be instituted by the Student Senate, and the IFC. The advantages to this system, we feel, are clear. First, binding commitments would eliminate the problem of inter-fraternity competition for freshmen pledge s after a bid has been offered and accepted. Second, it would permit those freshmen with firm fraternity interests the opportunity to join early and become an integral part of the fraternity. Third, if approved by _ the proper administrative authorities, freshmen could .elect to eat at a house second semester and join in full social privileges. This would provide the freshmen with another alternative to their eating and social arrangement, and would at the same time, increase revenues to the fraternities which each house needs in order to remain solvent.And finally, two rushing periods, with a time away from the Hill, would allow freshmen to gain .a more balanced and well-rounded perspectiv..e of fraternity life; particularly from members of the freshmen class who have previously accepted bids in November. This would also alleviate�,in the long run, much of the social and academic burden fram the members of the fraternities as well. This proposal is effort to establish a uniform rushing pattern which could meet the needs of bothe the fraternities arid the freshmen now, and in future years.'W_e feel, quite strongly, that the Chi Psi proposal as it staµds now. cannot be ratified as a uniform guideline for rushing, because it would place _an immediate burden on both the fraternities and the freshmen, and .could ultimately bring about

an

� disasterous consequences for the entire fraternity system. Respectfully submitted, Robert W. O'Connor '73 Michael S. White '72

AAUP. REPORT I To the Editor: I wish �o point out a few of the many ambiguities--confusions--of the AAUP Report on Institutional Neutrality. I will discuss two such confusions, one from each part of the report: 1) what does the Committee which wrote the report mean by ''neutrality", for the term is defined in the report both hi reference to "evaluation" and to "examination". - 2) how can "the plausible principle delineating the proper role of offz"cial faculty involvement in political issues" logically endow the faculty with a choice to act to preserve educational values ("Faculties may take political stands. . . ") when the report as a whole has been an argument for the university being defined by its act of maintaining educational values (".. . the university [is acting] as a center for open inquiry.") I) In defining its use of "neutrality," the Committee used the example of a scientist: For example, a scientist may be able to maintain a neutral standpoint in evalutaing competing scientific theories, while at the same time being passionately concerned that one of them turn out to be correct. Later in.part (1), the committee explained: Universities are normally • concerned with the study of political questions. Ho�ever, such concern does not preclude impartiality in. the examination of social questions or freedom in the expression of controversial ideas. From these two quotations the analogy being made by the committee becomes clear: as a scientist is to evaluation the university is to examination and expression. This analogy is made to explain or define the Committee's use of "neutrality." Surely the Committee does not wish to analogize the position and situ_ation of the_ scientist as h_e is making an experiment to the position and situation of the university. The scientist WHILE HE IS MAKING AN EXPERIMENT is working under a strict discipline, under rules which he does not question W H IL E H E I S M AK ING AN EXPERIMENT. He has methods which he follows; methods which he would not change in the middle of an experiment. If he ·wanted to change a method he would start the experiment again. Surely the Committee does not wish to imply that the university does not change its methods, does not change its disciplines and philosophies. So a better, more sensible analogy than: as scie�tist WIIlLE MAKING AN EXPERJMENT -is to evaluation, the university is to examination and expression, would be: as scientist before, while, anq after making an experiment is to evaluation, the university is to examination and expression. Yet what sense do.es this clarification make of the Committee's point, of its attempt to define its. use of "neutrality?" Is a scientist neutral in his evaluations before making an experiment? The Committee has stated: The scientist in question may care which theory is confirmed, and will surely care if one of the theories is his own, but he can be neutral only so long as- his personal concern does not· affect his evaluation of the evidence. This implies that the scie�tist cannot be neutral (in the Committee's sense of the word) if his personal · concern does affect his evalua_tion of the e�dence. But as I have shown, to make the analogy between the scientist and the university sensible, the position and situation of the scientist before making the experiment must be included in the analogy. In the above quotation from the report, the· Committee implies that the situation of the scientist before Continued on page six

Comment

BY BETTY HAGGERTY Bernard Flaherty, democratic candidate for the office of county legislator, presented an informal discussion of his campaign Tuesday afternoon in Bristol Cnter. The students who turned out were given candid, thoughtful insights regarding the problems of the Town of Kirkland. High on Mr. Flaherty's list of priorities is the lack of competitive government in Oneida County. The Republican party has been in office since 191�. "Unopposed power," says Flaherty, "is always a source of difficulty to the community and eventually to the holders of such power because they lose vision in the search for alternative solutions to County problems." Such is the case with the Republican party in the Town of Kirkland. They lack the imagination necessary to improve the welfare situation, the proposed truck bypass, and ecological problems in the Town. Flaherty stands adamantly opposed to the county sales tax offered by County Executive Harry Daniels as a cure for Oneida's financial ills. As a legislator, Flaherty proposes a tax abatement plan for up to ten years to attract new and expanding industries to the area. This would hopefully aid in reversing the 7.6%. unemployment rate and soaring welfare costs in Oneida. In addition to the tax abatement plan, the candidate · proposes to expand the facilities and f1;1nctions of the County Airport. Also proposed were a Bureau of Consumer Protection and a. county government lobbyist to . actively solicit . industrial and business concerns for Oneida County. Much of what can be done on the .Cpunty level of government depends on the passage of Amendment No. 1 (Community Development Amendment) on November 2. This proposal would untie the hands of County Legislatures so that they could actively respond to public needs in the areas of housing, job opportunities, recreational facilities, mass transit, and sewage. Flaherty strongly _!lrges all New Yo:rk State voters who are interested in progressive government to vote YES on this amendment. . Flaherty is a colorful candidate .for the Clinton norm. His job as teacher at Clinton Senior High has kept him in touch with the concerns of youth. In turn, many of his students are gaining practical experience in government by actively working in his campaign. He teaches and practice_s involvement in the political system. This is the first time in quite a while (some say the 1930's) �hat the Democratic Party in the Town of Kirkland has had such an appealing, promising candidate. His platform is admirable; his qualifications - Chairman of the Clinton Central School Social Studies Department, Instructor of Government at MVCC and Utica College, Certified_ labor negotiator, and a Masters degree in Constitutional Law - are strong. The man behind the political facade is likewise exceptional. He is willing to talk to citizens, those who can and cannot vote in Oneida County, about their government and their social concerns. Win or lose on November 2, Bernard Flaherty has waged a worthy campaign on behalf of the better interests of the Town of Kirkland. We hope that he will be a winner.

That's the banjo and bass players from the Down City Ram_blers allied with an excellent mandolin player from Glens Falls (that's a town, not a band) and a speedy looking guitar player who wrote songs but was nervous at firsi. Actually, the guitar player (who also sang, sometimes off-key), had a friendly hysteria that was appealing, and gave the group a kind of hip style that the Down City Ramblers avoid in favor of country corn. His songs were very elemental, with semi-absurd lyrics (funk-in-cheek, self- satire, etc.). The solid walking bass over a simple chord structure was filled out with very nice melodic riffs on banjo and mandolin- all very tight. Everyone seemed to like them alot. ]Especially a photographer (note: picture) who did a fairly interesting act all by himself. He eventually became somewhat obnoxious, unless, of course, he was surrounding them with his Nicromat at their request, in which event it's none of my business. Anyway, Country Granola finished and a lot of people wanted more crunchy and western tunes, but Seatrain was ready. Seatrain has a way of not staying with you. You remember being highly impressed, but s ometimes more by . the musicianship displayed than at the music produced. They were very tight, broke together in interesting places and were generally astounding with their,solos.

OCTOBER 29, 1971

There are nine million refugees dying of starvation and disease and living in inhuman conditions, now:, today, in India, yet few Americans are aware of it. Rather than go into a self righteous rampage on apathy and inadequate media coverage I would rather like to share my knowledge here. I grew up in Pakistan which is 1 perhaps why the present situation touches me so deeply--the news 1s about people and places I know. The civil war in Pakistan, which began last March, had its ?eginnings in Pakistan's birth. In the 1950's when India gained 'her md�pendence from Britain she was split into two different religious _ nations: India and East and West Pakistan, the last two separated by 1,000 miles of Indian territory yet forming one country. Pakistan is a Muslim nation yet her two "parts" are made up of two racial groups: the Punjabis in the West and the Bengalis in the East. East Pakistan, or Bangla Desh, is rich in jute and tea and is thus a source of the majority of Pakistan's foreign capital. Yet most of the money gained from export goes toward building new factories in West Pakistan, not East. Although Bangla Desh has 75 million people, the majority of Pakistan, it is less developed than West Pakistan and has substantially less military and political power. That is, until last spring when the Awami League, a fairly moderate Bengali political group pressing for greater equality between East and West Pakistan, gained a majority of the seats in the Pakistani Senate. That Senate was never convened--the President of Pakistan is a Punjabi, a West Pakistani. To keep the Bengalis under Punjabi control, the Pakistani army, almost all Punjabis, moved into Bengal and went on a brutal campaign of killing and destruction. The army attacked many of the possible political strongholds of Bangla Desh: the universities, including the razing of one dormitory believed to house arms, and the killing of professionals, teachers, doctors, students and writers. Their intent was to keep a majority under the control of a minority--in essence to quell a revolution. In fea.::, 9 million Bengalis have fled to India often leaving family, friends, and almost all belongings behind. What of the U.S., of_ our role? While professing to remain neutral the U.S. is,,in essence, financing much of the Civil War in Pakistan with arms to West Pakistan, including "non-lethal" ammunition, and a continuation of large scale economic aid. Nixon feels it is more important to stay good friends with West Pakistan than to save 9 million people, and perhaps more, since it is believed by many that the war will soon escalate and India will join forces with Bangla Desh. Yet some moves are being made in American politics notably the Saxbe-Church and Gallagher Amendments to withdraw all military and economic ai<J--except for humanitarian relief aid--to Pakistan until the situation has returned to normal. The Gallagher Amendment has been passed by the House and the Saxbe-Church Amendment goes to the Senate this week after it was defeated and then, in a re-vote, passed, by the Senate Foreign Rela�ions Committee. One of the most important things for us about Bangla Desh is that it is an issue where we can help-- where we can do something. The reversal of the Saxbe-Church Amendment in Committee was due, in large part, to telegrams sent to Senators and mobilized by phone calls and discussions. And there is, as always, the need for money. The costs of life, family, home and livelihood can never be calculated. At present, however, the Indian government is bearing the huge weight of supporting 9 million refugees; disease and starvation are present in the refugee camps and worse is imminent. The U.S. has paid only ten percent of the cost to the Indian government of supporting the refugees. India's money is fast running out. Next Wednesday there will be a nationwide FAST TO SAVE A PEOPLE sponsored by Oxfam-America and Project Relief. People are being asked to fast for one day and to give the m�ney they would no:rmally spend on food to the refugees. A dollar helps sustain a person for a month providing: supplementary high nutrient foods, multi-vitamins, powdered milk, medicine and sanitary services, basic clothing, tarpaulins and corrugated plastic shelter. There will be a vigil, and a fast, here, next Wednesday, November 3 in the Chapel from sunrise to sunset. We will be collecting money there and also in Bristol and McEwen. I can't say please help or please give. I can only wi�h that you all had my own eyes to see the refugee families coming into the United States. I would be more than happy to discuss any issues or answer any questions about Bangla Desh. Joanne Papanek

Hamilton students who want to· request an independent research project either on or off campus must do so by this Saturday, October 30. It is expected that the number of independent projects will exceed that of previous years.

Hirsch '72 There can be, I think, no question about student dissatisfaetion with this year's Winter Study Program at Kirkland. While I understand that nothing can be done to rectify the situation for this year, I am nonethelesi, concerned about some of the assumptions on which the program seems to have been founded. The Winter Study Committee's statement of the rationale behind the abolition of courses was based on· the results of a survey conducted after Winter Study enaed last year.The statement of the Committee was to the effect that students seemed generally more satisfied with their experiences in independentlY. undertaken (though either supervised or unsupervised) projects rather than course offerings. The motion to abolish courses was due, I think, to misinterpretatiort of this data. Many will remember the dissatisfaction at registration last year over the courses being offered. Some students turned to independent study as a means to make the most out of Winter Study. This was one option but not the only one. Student discontent was not aimed at the idea of a course but at the specific courses being offered that year. I am further concerned with the attempts to use Kirkland's ideals to justify the abolition of courses. I am bothered by statements like the one made by the Dean of Students at a recent Assembly meeting to the effect that we had supposedly come to Kirkland looking for a certain degree of responsibility and independence in our education and here was ou:r chance. This seems to me to be justification after the fact. The real import of such statements seems too clearly to be: "We cannot admit that this year's Winter Study is a mistake. It's your problem now, so muddle on, women of Kirkland." ...I just wonder how many years we can muddle through Winter Study before the program is a program in name only. · Constance Miner

Dogs

Continued from page one stated that in an environment of intense pressure and competition, such as a college campus, the individual needs and uses the dog as something of a release from his surroundings. Exponents of this view maintain that a dog is a friend who gives and receives love with no complications. The Hamilton Facut'ty has also taken issue on the dog problem. The Hamilton Chapter of the Ass ociation American of University Profe�ors recently commended DePuy for his actions in trying to alleviate th·e dog problem. In a memo to the Dean, the local AAUP chapter proposed the prohibition of dogs from college dormitories and the establishment of leash laws on the campus.

St. Lawrence Born hards Blue Wesleyan o eNextOpponent BY HENRY HECHT The Hamilton College football team extended its winless streak to five games in as many attempts this year when it lost to St. Lawrence 51-14 last Saturday. The Larries got off to a quick start, scoring 13 points in the first quarter, then adding 28 more in the second. The Continentals found another game out of reach before they could score. At the start of the game it looked as though the Hamilton offense might finally get moving. Quarterback Mark Rice '73 drove the Blue team deep into St. Lawrence territory before a fumble ended the drive. The St. Lawrence offense found itself unable to move the ball on the ground against Hamilton's defense and was forced to punt, giving the Continentals the ball deep in their own territory. Before Hamilton could mount a drive, defensive back Jimmy Jenkins intercepted a Mark Rice pass and sprinted 25 yards for the first St. Lawrence score. St. Lawrence's next two touchdowns were also set up by Hamilton offense, as Mike Montesano fell on an errant snap from center in the endzone for six points. Dick Grimes picked off an attempted screen by Rice and scampered 20 yards for the first score of the second quarter. At this point the Continentals were down by 20 points, even though St. Lawre_nce ha_d been..unable �o move the ball. Although 20-0 wasn't an insurmountable lead, the Larries offense began to click. They scorea three more times in the second quarter when quarterback Jeff Kantor hit halfback Barry Dutter over the middle for a 57 yard pass and run play. He then connected with flanker George Lewis from 53 and 55 yards out for two more scores to run the total to 41-0 -at the half. Hamilton took the ball to start the second half but, unable to move with any consistency, they had to punt. The Larries took the ball and drove back to the Hamilton 25 before they stalled and had to settle for a Hans Farnstrom field goal for another three points. After receiving the following kickoff the Continentals finally mounted a drive which culminated with a 28 yard pass from Rice to John Gravely '73 to put Hamilton

on the scoreboard. The extra point failed and it was 44-6. After the Larries were unable to move the ball, Hamilton scored again, with Rice hitting Gravely for a 15 yard touchdown pass and Sandy Mackintosh '74 diving over for the two-point conversion to close the Hamilton scoring. The solo score in the fourth quarter was a 5 yard sweep by Fay Davis of St. Lawrence, the extra point by Farnstrom rounded out the scoring at 51-14.

The Blue eleven play at Wesleyan this Saturday, where they will be facing a 1-4 team that is better than their record indicates. It will be a sweet victory if Hamilton can win to avenge their last-seco�d loss to Wesleyan last year. It will take a big effort to win, but it is still not too late for the Continentals to reverse their luckless trend. Maybe this will finally be the week.

His optimism is based on the amount of research being conducted and a comparison of the disease to the Chestnut Blight which spread rapidly and killed virtually all American chestnuts in a matter of years. Although Dutch elm disease has been in the country for 41 years and in New York for 38 years, many elms remain. However, until a cure is found or the spread of the disease is controlled, infected elms on campus will continue to be felled and burned.

OCTOBER 29 1971

BY GORDON KAYE Hamilton's Varsity Soccer Squad exhibited new-found power last week as the Continentals swept both their contests, 4-2 over LeMoyne University and 3-2 over Clarkson. The nature of the even more victories were impressive, for in each the Blue had to come from behind to win. Saturday (Oct. 23) Hamilton travelled to Syracuse to take on LeMoyne. The Continentals had trouble settling down and before they knew it, their opponents held a 2-0 lead. The Blue defense, however, tightened up and the line went to work.

that it would be a good thing if it did happen." Since most of the _team consists of C6ach his swimmers, MacDonald has some ideas about the effect of water polo on the swim team. He remarked, "Water polo is a great thing for the swim team. Not only is it a great conditioner, but it also is a good morale booster. I honestly think that our undefeated swimming record was a direct result of the closeness that was developed among many of the· water polo players." The Hill community will have an opportunity to see the -Continentals in action, on November 6 against an excellent water polo team from Sir George Williams University in Montreal. Game time has yet to be announced. This will be an excellent opportunity for all students (and their parents) to see this unique and exciting sport.

BY TIM DELANEY The Hamilton Cross Country team completed its second consecutive undefeated season last Friday by overcoming a powerful Union squad 24-33. Once again seniors Ken Judson and Marc Peuron finished 1-2 for the Continentals, followed by sophomores Vito Stellato and Tim Delaney in 4th and 5th. The next six places were all grabbed by the Garnet, with Hamilton's final scorer, Dave Carlisle, finishing 12th. All of the first six places were under the previous record on the 5.57 mile course around the. Union Campus. This was the Harrier's final dual meet and represented their

toughest challenge all year. The quality of the Union squad remained a mystery up until a few days before the meet. Then, reports of a surprisingly strong team began to surface. Coupled with the loss of Pete Tylenqa, the usual number five finisher, this information the heightened worries of the Hamilton team. It became apparent that a strong group performance was mandatory. Early in the race, Union attempted a fast kill by quickening the pace to scatter the Hamilton runners. The Blue group stayed in contact, however, and soon took over the lead. The

remainder of the race consisted of Judson, Peuron, and Stellato surrounding Union's Kearny, with Delaney close behind, followed by the rest of the Garnet seven. Freshman Kearny dropped back during the final mile to be replaced by Union's top man, Brian Moeckel. By staying so close and dominating the race, Hamilton m a i n t ained a runners psychological advantage which discouraged the Union pack. Judson wisely held back (for the first time all year) to lead the group. His teammates, in turn, saved him from near disaster when ''Wrong Way" Judson began to get

Hamilton's Water Poln Club Seeks N. Y. State <Jiampioftship BY FRED BLOCH of one weekend, This Hamilton's lesser known athletic squads will compete in the New York Water Polo S tate Championships, defending the title they captured last year. Participating in the upcoming championship at St. Lawrence _ University will be St. Lawrence, Hamilton, SUNY at _Plattsburg, and Syracuse, whose strength seems to make the. Orange this year's favorites. Water polo is a club sport at Hamilton and most other New York colleges. To date, the Hamilton club's record is 5-4. All four losses were suffered at the hands of St. Lawrence and Syracuse, while victories were recorded against H ar p ur , Hobart, Southern Connecticut State, and Plattsburg. The probable starting lineup for this weekend will be Jeff Carlberg '75 in the goal, Dave Dicky '72, Peter Schloerb '73, and Brad Johnson '75 on defense, and Brian Cavanaugh '73, Craig MacDonald '75, and Doug McDevitt '75 on the front line. Sophomores Stan Kaye and Dave Shapland and Junior John Judson are substitutes who see as much pool time as most of the starters. Hamilton plays a much different type of game than many of their stronger and more experienced opponents with their chief asset being their strong swimming ability. Sixteen of the seventeen members of the water polo team are expected to swim for Hamilton this winter. Their play is characterized by fast breaks and quick movement rather than by ball control and strength. Goalie Carlberg was fourth leading high school breast stroker

· svste·m Centrax P- h one BY BILL, GADBOW ''The Hamilto n-Kir kiand Community will convert to a much more efficient communication system with the installation of the Centrax phone system early next semester," according to Hamilton College Controller Ronald F. MacDonald. MacDonald said that the phones should be installed by Jan. 20 and be in operation by Feb. 1. Even though the New York Bell Telephone Corppany is still on strike, the project has not been slowed down apprecia�ly. Western Electric is installing the system for the telephone company and, although New York Bell workers are striking, Western Electric workers are not. Centrax will make telephones more available to Hamilton, but Kirkland students may find themselves paying for a service that they already have. The p rese nt Kir kland t elephone provides for "hall" phones on each floor and Kirkland students can call anywhere on campus for free. These calls all go through the switchboard in Buttrick Hall. MacDonald explained one of

of the Centrax the prime goalsJ_J system is tlie elimination of much of the work of the switchboard operator. This means that even if the Kirkland "hall" phones are left installed they will have essentially no use, since students will not be able to dial the switch board and request an extension.

"Centrax will cut the work of the operator by 90%," he estimates. All calls will be direct and the switchboard will become mainly an information service for those ')7h0 do not know the number of the person they are calling.

In a long and heated meeting Tuesday evening, the Student Senate voted to . accept the Interfratemity Council's Proposal to govern rushing procedures for this school year. A vote by Senate President Jerry Ryan broke an 3-3 tie between the IFC and Chi Psi proposals. the Interfratemity Under Council's Proposal, rushing of freshmen will take place from January 3 to March 5 of next year. During this period bids will be binding on ·the fraternities but not on the freshmen. After March 5no freshman may officially join a fraternity by making any financial arrangements with a house. Any freshman dropping out of a fratemity after March 5will not be able to officially join another fraternity until the next semester. The first order of business confronting the special meeting of the Senate was to decide Chi Psi's the relation to status in IFC Council. Interfrate:rnity Chairman Matt McKenna '72 pointed out that under the IFC Constitution a fraternity must submjt a letter of withdrawal thirty days before that fraternity may be allowed to drop out. Chi Psi then put forth a motion· requesting that the Senate waive the thirty day rule in this case. The Chi Psi motion was defeated nine to six, with three abstentions. Therefore, the Senate will continue to consider Chi Psi as a member of the IFC until November 20, which is thirty days after the Chi Psi letter of withdrawal appeared in the Spectator.

freshmen joining during the second semester would be left to the individual house under this proposal.

Library Fin ances Reviewed;_ New Fund Rllising Stressed - Acting Provost J. Martin Carovano submitted a financial report of the two colleges to the Hamilton-Kirkland Faculty and Administration. The _ report included information regarding the funding of the new llibrary and its effect on the colleges' outlook. financial Hamilton President John W. Chandler stressed the importance of a. successful fund raising campaign in view of financial demands. The report indicated that the­ total estimated cost of the new building will be 5.3 million. As of September 30, 1971, H?ffiilton had paid $3.3 million: $1.3 million being paid from gifts and $1.5 from a loan from the Irving Trust Company. Thus, $ 2 million remains to be paid. To pay this'sum, Hamilton can collateral for an provide additional $1.8 million loan, and $800,000 will have to be raised during this year. The large sums for collateral, not part of the college's operating budget, come out of a portion of the entitled Funds endowment Fuctioning as Endowment, which may be spent. Most of the endowment is marked by stipulations which make it legally difficult to use or encumber. Hamilton's present figur.e for Funds Functioning as Endowment stands at $4.6 million. Of this figure, $3.75 million is required as. collater;µ for the loaQs to pay for the library. This figl.lTe is larger than the size of the loans, si�ce the college must put 10 per cent of the amount it borrows in the bank · as a �•compensatory balance." An additional $660,000 for Kirkland's marked is anticipated deficit for this year. The $200,000 remaining as a cushion was called "low" by Carovano and Chandler. Both stressed the importance of the colleges' fund raising campaigns, and - the need for redeeming pledges already made. Chandlei; was optimistic about the success, of raising the $.800 ,000 for this year. "Cash is coming in and providing hopeful indications. We did not hav_e so much cash in at this time last year." The long term repayments of the loans will require even more optimistic, Though money. Chandler explained that there are many "imponderables", such as government policy and the state of the market, which would effect the amount of giving. At very worst, if the colleges could not raise the needed $800,000 this· year and if the

in $200,000 the Funds Functioning as Endowment ran out, "the college would be driven· to borrow off its endowment.'.' Universities such as Columbia, New York University and many · other schools borrow off their . endowment when necessary, once they have avoided t�e legal

encumbrances. Chandler explained that colleges expect to raise money. Though donations from individuals and pledges, most due n9. later, than 1930, are slowing down, the colleges are going to foundations for more money than in 'the past, thus hoping to raise the needed cash.

HONOR SOCIETIES· We the undersigned strongly object to the "honorary" societies presently existing at Hamilton College. We believe DT, Was Los, and Pentagon to be self-perpetuating friendship cliques which do absolutely nothing while pretending to serve the community. We urge the Student Senate to exercise its control over student organizations by abolishing DT, Was Los and Pentagon. We believe that those students who dedicate themselves to serving the community as well as pursuing their academic careers do deserve recognition. We therefore urge the Student Senate to establish one honorary society 7 to be based solely on service to the Hamilton College community,_to be awarded in the senior year, to have no set number of me,mbers each year, and to have no specific qualifications for membership. Students would be nominated from the student body as a whole and selected by a committee comprised of a number of non-senior members of the Student Senate and a number of faculty members of the Student Activities Committee of the faculty. The society would have no function. It is only a way to recognize extraordinary service. It would be called the Hamilton College Honorary Society. We encourage action by the Student Senate and comment on this proposal by the college community in general and DT, Was Los and Pentagon in particular.

CAMPUS FUND DRIVE As a co-chairman of this year's fund drive, I wish to express my regret that collections are coming in slowly _and in small quantities . and that contributors seem to be few and far between. The Campus Fund Drive got underway four weeks ago. During the past month we have collected around $500, a figure which seems rather sad for a campus of this size. The members of the Chapel Board, the body which sponsors the fund drive, have attempted to analyze the situation. The fund drive's co-chairmen worked hard _ to organi�i;- the canvassing of the community. Benefi_ciaries were carefully chosen. They include: campus projects such as Utica tutorial; support of a Columbian Foster _Child; Utica Bail Bond; American Friends Service Committee which sponsors summer projects in which stud.ents from this-campus have participated. The Chapel Board is aware of the frequently discussed current economic bind. But the. Board is also aware that its resources are low and that-it will not only be unable to support organizations listed for its fund drive, but must also begin to turn down requests for money which are constantly made by individuals and groups on campus unable to get funds from other sources. A fund drive failure would 1 have consequences not only for Chapel Board but also for activities on campus from which almost everyone in the community benefits. If you have not been canvassed and you wish to give money to the fund drive, OR if you have been canvassed and you wish to give more, OR if you wish to fulfill the pledge ypu forgot all about, OR if you have been canvassed and have had a change of heart and wish to give for the first time, a few days are still left. Please contact or send contributions to: Hamilton/Kirkland Cal!lpus Fund Drive c/o Chuck Hasbrouck, Nick Tebordo, or Toby Bosniak. Toby Bosniak

J1l J. Deansboro Museum Bring Your Nickels j1l J.

1 BY RALPH STOCKER SUSAN BELL After a pleasant three mile drive on Route 12B (the road that's at your back when you take a left on Route ,233 to go home), one passes through the village of Deansboro, probably making the mistake of m1ssmg a large fiddle-shaped sign advertising the Deansboro Musical Museum. A visit to the Deansboro Musical Museum not only shows what lengths of mechanical ingenuity man goes to if given enough spare time, but also gives a chance to witness a distinct and legitimate chunk of the American near-past. It is a predominantly musical, not a music, museum. True, there are fine glass-encased exhibits, but most of the instruments are to f:?e played; the hall� constantly ring with an ·amazing variety of musical sounds. When you get ,out of your car you are heralded by the puffing, wheezing, and eventual playing of ' a 75 year-old Wurlitzer Military Band Organ and Calliope. This amazing piece of machinery is housed and s e p e r a t ely automatically triggered from the main building. Bedecked with naked, gold water-nymphs, and painted in vibrant colors, the "organ house" pleasantly recalls past memories of the amusement

"Ted-Ektra" , a "rich man's toy' which is, in· effect, a remote control piano, governed from a switch box and attached to the latter by a long cable. All the while we were in the first room, hand-made_ Swiss music boxes (variously embodied in moving, feathered birds and waltzing ladies) provided "background Sanders' Mr. for music" comments.

Ralph St;,cker playing 'valuable antique' saxaphone Mr. Sanders then showed us a 70 year old "Regina": a coin-op-erated ancestor of today's jukebox. Originally created to provide music for spooning c ou p l e s in h i g h - sch ool turn-of-the-century Ice Cream Parlours, the musical selections were contained on 15 inch punched metal discs. The list�ner could change these and play them according to taste. Probably the most interesting piece of machinery Mr. Sanders showed us was a 1910 Welie-Mignon Automatic Piano. Through an amazingly confusing ( to me at least) process of using a "seismographic recording needle", the makers of the piano claimed they could exactly duplicate the key pressure and timing from the recorded performances of major keyboard artists of the time. The rich man could actually have Paderewski in · his living room. While this whole process was working its way into my

admittedly resisting mind, Sue Bell and Peter Zicari patriotically turned to catch a few poignant strains of "I'm a Yankee Doodle D an dy" as rendered by an automatjc 1393 banjo. Mr. Sanders soon disappeared, leaving the three of us to wander alone through a history of American mechanical music. As we went through the seemingly endless amount of rooms, we stopped occasionally to play a hundred year old. crank-organ or to look at an 13th century dulcimer. The walls held strange, sometimes humorous, hybrid instruments:· Melo-Harps; Ukelins; Marxophones. Each was and were described some accompanied by their · original magazine advertisements. We eventually got to the "Organ Room" where Sue Bell favored us with a stunning improvised piece on a 150 year old pipe organ. In another room, containing hand-crank calliopes, musical posters dotted the walls. and A p p l e-c h e e k e d "ready-for-anything" American sons smiled down on us from World War I bi-planes. Sheet music covers advertised such pieces as "Lucky Lindy" and "King of the Air", nationalistic testimonials dead to many of us, but feelings still ingrained in much of rural America. Toward the end of our afternoon, we ducked into the "Hom Room," so named because it is hung with huge turn-of-the-century gramaphone trumpets. This room primarily houses the creations of Thomas Edison and his contemporaries. Nickelodeons blast out Sousa marches; early dictaphones home phonographs aJ!d other "talking machines" glare at us from glass display cases. Tucked away in one of these cases is the forerunner of that great Christmastime nemesis of the American father, the "talking doll.�' Presumably the "good little girl" of 1900 was enthralled with a "dolly" that talked a few simple declarative

KIRKLAND WINTER STUDY The Winter Study financial policy as it stands now states that a Kirkland student has two options with regard to the Winter Study period, January 3 to January 25. She can declare herself "essentially" off-campus, relinquish the rights to her room, and by so doing receive the ''board" rebate, or she can declare herself "essentially" on-campus, live in her room, and by so doing forfeit the ''board" rebate. There is no provision for those who need to use the Kirkland or Hamilton facilities, but who will not be here the whole time and therefore do not require nor want the services provided in the school dining halls. We feel, therefore, that the board rebate is in-fact not one at all, but instead, it is a board and room rebate and should be declared as such by the college. Unfortunately, if the administration admitted this, they would 'also have to recogni2;e the fact that · the rebate of thirty dollars does not approach the amount of money a student pays each month for room and board. This is just one more failure in this year's Winter Study program which the college will expect the Kirkland students to accept in the ''pioneer spirit." Patty Lowey & Carol Kimball H AMILTON-KIRKLAND RELATIONS We are among · those members of the Hamilton-Kirkland community who recognize the need for improvement in intellectual, as well as social, relations between the two schools. Kirkland students have repeatedly noticed incidents of unequal treatment in their Hamilton classes. On the other hand, Hamilton students, understandably if regrettably, are often reluctant to sample Kirkland's academic offerin2s. It is time that ·Hamilton and Kirkland recognize their communal needs and problems as well as their combined potential. �The prevailing awkwardness of intellectual relations between ·campuses could be considerably eased by the appointment of. at least one female full-time faculty member and administrative officer to the Hamilton College staff. Such an innovation, besides furthering the valid cause of women's rights, would benefit primarily those Hamilton students who do not wish to enroll in Kirkland courses; and conse_quently miss the opportunity for pedagogical exchange with adult women, integral components of the real world. By being sensitive to the fe_elings and contributions of the "other sex", _male or female, we can free ourselves from confining traditions that have served as obstacles to human liberation and the learning process. Hamilton's willing coordination with Kirkland College is active proof of its basic recognition of sexual equality. But until it integrates the core of its academic strength, the faculty, it will fail to be as modern and progressive an institution as we would like. Melissa Fast .l udith R.

Hill Voters Challenged as Courts Hold- Back Decision

BY DAVID RIENZO On Election Day, November 2 , the right tq vote of six Hamilton and Kirkland · students , was challenged by the officials at the Clinton polls, on the grounds that these students did not fullfill the residency require�ents of Oneida County. The students were allowed to vote, but their votes would not have been tallied if any o{ the electoral races were so close that a recount and possible revote were necessary, in accordance standard voting the with regulations concerning so-called "challenged votes." During the May 3 registration drive on campus, nearly 120 students registered as occupants of Oneida County by virtue of their college dormitory residences. In July, the New York State Legislature passed a residency law college that ruled which dormitories were not suitable as permanent residences. Since the outset of the school year, students from many colleges in this area banded together with lawyer Michael Getnick of the Oneida County Legal Aid Society and two lawyers from the New York Civil Liberties Union, to challenge the constitutionality, of the Legislature's new residency

performance. The team was robbed a shuto ut only by an Albany penalty kick in the closing moments of the ganie. Upon looking back over the season, certain points can be made. First, as Coach vo n Schiller pointed out, the Blue lacked experience at the start of the season. Only a handful o f starters from the · previous year returned. It was necessary to make wholesale changes in the lineup. Secondly, the Continentals were beset by injury and sickness, rarely fielding the best eleven at one time. These factors definitely had much to do with the streak of five _losses and a tie, after the opening victory over Alfred. A third trend is clear, also.

The Varsity Soccer Squad ended its season Saturday by defeating SUNY Albany, at Albany, 3-1. The game was a continuation of the upward swing that brought Hamilto n three successive victories in the final three games. The Blue established dominance early in the game and Albany, the supposed favorites, never did get started. Hustling C.T. Fetscher '72 accounted for two goals while Nat Follansbee '73 netted one. The entire line was exceptionally quick, forcing Albany's defense into mistakes. On the other end of the field, was defense Hamilton's outstanding. Many felt it was the finest defense's Continental

Harpur, one of the pre-race favorites, had three runners capable of finishing in the top ten individually and team depth through their sixth man yet not a single Harpur runner broke into the top ten.

BY STEPHEN PERCY In a meeting Tuesday afternoon the Judiciary Board ruled that Chi Psi was guilty of breaking the new Senate rushing rules by giving out three bids to freshmen last week. The Judiciary Board gave Chi Psi a reprimand and declared that the three bids already given were void. Chi Psi gave out the bids in order to establish a test case of the Senate's decision on which the Judiciary Board could rule. At the Senate meeting Tuesday evening Chi Psi requested their own set of rushing rules be approved as of November 20, when the fraternity will have officially withdrawn from the lntrafraternity Council. Chi Psi cannot withdraw from the I.F.C. before November 20, since the Senate passed a motion last week forbidding any fraternity from doing this without giving thirty days' notke. After debate the Senate voted on Chi Psi's proposal, passing it by a vote of nine to eight. Under the accepted proposal, Chi Psi could begin giving out bids on November 20 and could continue acquiring pledges until the end of the year. The bids will be binding on the house but-not on the freshmen. Chi Psi has stated ,they do not plan heavy rushing un tilglater in the year. They plan only to give bids to those freshmen who are certain of their desire to join the house. Earlier in thegvening the Senate defeated by a vote of eleven to six a motion by Bob

This clause has been the subject of discussion by the sub-committee of SCACA dealing with Evaluations, and Grades. This sub-committee, headed by Sheri Silverman, plans to submit a motion at the next Assembly meeting clarifying the wording of this clause. They wish to emphasize that only in the case of student-initiated concentrations is agreement be�ween student. and advisor the sole requirement necessary to establish the major. In those concentrations already established by divisions, the requirements have already been enumerated, and the student must satisfy those requirements.

Sigma Phi appealed thegmeasure, since the new official rushing period lasts two months rather than a few days as in pastgyears. By a unanimous vote the Judiciary Board decided to suspend the probation arid replace it with a reprimand. Steve Furrer' and Doug Hadden, members of Sigma Phi, disqualified themselves from the voting because of a conflict of interest.

Poll Watchers Return; Allege Voting Abuses

BY JAMES MARCH Two weeks' ago today, five Hamilton and five Kirkland students left campus to poll-watch during Election Day in Mississippi. Their aim was to prevent ballot-stuffing and see that the election itself was run fairly. Bill Delaney '72, spokesman for the group of ten, explained, "Charles Evers made a strong appeal for help at his recent Root Jessup Lecture. I talked with him, and he expressed a need for assistance in coping with Mississippi's dishonest election procedures." Nevertheless, Evers lost his bid for the Governonr's chair in Mississippi this past November 2. The ten Hill volunteers first stopped at New·York City to pick up funds allocateq. by a concerned group of citizens. They arrived. at Election Headquarters in Jackson, the capitol city, at sunset of the following day. From there they were' -directed to Wilkinson County where they were housed by several cooperating black families. Everyone had been briefed as to their duties and by Election Day the group had separated to work in the districts of Longmeyer, C en t r e v i l l e , Woodville, and Natchez. Delaney "t here were e st i m a t e d , approximately 30 out-of-state poll-watchers in Wilkinson County alone." Early Election Day morning the students went to their assigned precincts. "Immediately we were asked to leave by the management, but we asserted our rights and insisted on staying." Delaney then added, "they tried to kick us out again when the polls closed at 6 o'clock but we remained well past midnight." The students' main task was to register voters, yet they claim tha_t in the course of the day, they witnessed blacks being d�prived of

their voting rights and instances where whites had voted twice. The complaints registered with officials met with little response. Delaney further claimed that, "There were Federal poll-watchers present, but they acted as observers only and refused to give aid." He continued, ''We were constantly on guard for cheating and other abuses of the law. Afterwards, we helped supervise .the handcount, since there were no machines, only ballots." As it stands now, many of the precincts' results are being poll-watching by c ontested lawyers and law students who filed incident reports. The trial will take place in Federal Court. The students hope that their protests are upheld, in which case there will be a recount or a new ..election.. Delaney feels, "W the protests are successful the gubernatorial election will not be affected as much as the local elections would be by a new vote." Delaney also mentioned that reports of hostility toward poll-watchers throughout the state came in all day. ''While we were leaving Wilkinson County we were harassed and insulted by the State Police," he commented. Then he added, "But the atmosphere in Evers' hometown Fayette, where we were headed, was much more pleasant." The group of ten would like to express their thanks to the c o n t r i b u t i ng f o l l o w i ng organizations: the Chapel Board,, the Steering Committee, Root Jessup, the Student Senate, the Mohawk Valley Pioneer Club, and Dave McCarthy, Jerry Ryan, and Pete Moeller for the use of their cars, plus the undivided assistance of BCC Director Andrew Wertz. "Ali,o our gratitude goes to the. many students and faculty members of both colleges whQ gave money and encouragement toward the trip."

Le1t1tcers SENATE REPS To the Editors: For some time now there has been a great deal of discussion and questioning about the Senate's definition of a fraternity; the main point of this discussion turning toward representation on the Senate. There are some organizations on the hill which provide the same basic services as the fraternities along witd other organizations which provide different services for different interest areas. None of the latter two seem to be that well represented on the Senate. Perhaps instead of a definition, the Senate should draw up a list, or whatever, which enumerates the an p r erequi s i t es various organization should have in order to be represented on the Senate. With this, the word fraternity could be avoided, and could possibly, save some of the arguments which may ensue. With this in mind, the membership of Gry phon would like the Senate to consider a few points: 1. Instead of using just a word why not define the various prerequisites which are necessary for representation on the Senate. 2. P e r ha p s not j u st fratenal-type oi:ganizations should be granted representation. Perhaps other groups would like some say

Perpetually a legendary hero, Bill is now seen as a two-faced politician constantly guarding the image he had created for himself as a "friend to all." The play is not only a universal commentary on human deception, but even more specifically a study of political maneuvering. Indians is particularly germane in view of the current movement to restore the self-respect of the American Indian. The play is not chronologically continuous; it centers around scenes depicting the confrontation between a committee of United States senators and several Indian with Cody repres entatives mediating. They are arguing over t�rms previously agr eed upon in several treaties. Obviously ., the government had maneuvered the Indians into signing these treaties by leading them to believe that they would amass gr eat benefits by giving up their lands.

Goehner's naive reactions to the skit are positive . and show his willingness to believe in the Buffalo Bill m'¼th. At the same time, Ragland, i'n his portrayal of Wild Bill Hickock, does an excellent job of showing t4e extreme contrast between his character and that of the PresideIJ.t, and essentially the basic idea of the play: myth versus reality. He refuses to submit to Cody's glorification of the truth. The major criticism is not at all in Mr. Harper's production of Indians but rather in the play itself. Kopit's use of long monologues, instead of being effective, proves to be tedious. The play will be performed again tonight and Saturday night at 8:30 in Minor Theater. This production is well worth seeing. By Claudia Berk and Sue Krinsky

New Dog Policy Formulat�d Student Responsibility Needed BY BILL PURCELL After eight months of debate, the Building and Grounds Committee of the Student Senate has recommended a new policy concerning dogs on the Hamilton College campus. The plan has three points: 1) All dogs on campus are to be registered with local authorities. This will require proof of proper shots and vaccination of - the animal. Any unregistered dog found on campus will be removed to the ASPCA. 2) Dogs are to be kept out of all academic buildings, Bristol Campus Center, and all 3) Personal dining halls. · responsibility for all actions of a dog is to be assumed by the owner. Although enforcement plans for the last two rules have not yet been formulated, Associate Dean Hadley DePuy made it clear that if this policy does not effectively remove the nuisance of dogs, there is a strong possibility that the dogs will be outlawed entirely. This new policy comes in the wake of meetings of the President's Advisory Council, the Student Senate, Kirkland and Hamilton Administrators, and Hamilton's members of the of Am er ican Asso ciation University Professors. In all these changes policy meet ings , concerning the dog problem were

recommended. In effect, the new dog laws equalize the policies of Hamilton and Kirkland. Kirkland has long had a policy permitting its students to keep dogs as long as they wee registered and were well behaved. This will essentially be the rule now·at Hamilton. Faculty and student response has, as us�, been sparse and varied. _ Professor Lindley called dogs "a menace." Professor Barrett agreed dogs had often

been a problem. Commenting on the social implications such a policy will have, here Barrett wryly noted that Hamilton students have always had to hide their girls in their rooms but now they will be forced to hide their dogs there, too. One student remarked that, although this new policy was a step in the right direction, a better plan would be to move the freshmen out of Dunham Dormitory and give it to the dogs.

This will mark the first time that Hamilton has sent more than one runner to compete at the nationals.

C. WEAVER 4 SPIRITS FOR YOUR PARTY NEEDS Q\J THE VILLAGE SQUARE

Hsriers; Paul Ford, Vito Stellato,Dave Carlisl� BY PAUL FORD A Running Commentary on. the Misadventures of a Cross Country Team Attending a "Big Meet" "Excuse me, friend", implored a Hamilton runner from the window of a green mini-bus to a passer-by on a side street in the city(?) of Troy. "Could you direct us to Frear Park?" The stranger halted in midstride. A fleeting expression passed across his previously placid countenance. Yet he immediately regained his composure and replied in a mature voice, "Of course! But you're headed the wrong way, fella. Now go down this' street for, let's see...oh, about three lights and tum -left. Just keep going and you'll find it." As the Friday afternoon drew on, the last thing I expected was that this man would be correct. As it turned out, his directions were accurate, we did eventually find Frear Park and so got a good "look" at the course that we would run on the following day. From 3:45 · p.m. to 5:45 p.m., we searched the Troy area and, in the process, discovered all the parks (three) in the city(?) before coming upon the desired one. Running a cross country course of 4.63 miles over hills, grass paths and various other surfaces is not too difficult for our seven man team; that is, if we can see what we're running on! By the time we had· arrived at the park, "it was a dark and stormy night!" We alternately jogged, stumbled, fell, and cursed R.P.I. as we proceeded ar.ound the course. Tho.roughly disgusted with R.P.I., Troy, Trojans, running, and life, we checked:•into our overnight accomodations. The Hendricht Hudson Hotel actually isn't too terrible a place to stay, if you don't mind hearing Johnny Carson from five rooms away, the hotel employees dumping garbage at 1:00 a.m., a Harpur runner laughing continuously from 2:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m., of maybe the garbage truck picking up the 1:00 a.m. garbage at 6:30 a.m. Actually, the desk needn't have rung our rooms at 6:45, for who could have slept that_ ·.light? After a healthy breakfast of toast and jµice at a restaurant four blocks from the hotel (?), we departed for a sorely needed change- . of scenery. Predictably, as we arrived at the park early, the weather took a turn for the worse. Yet we didn't really mind the cold or even the bitter wind so much as the fact that there was no place � �o go to the bathroom. After a seeming eternity, 11:00 a.m., Saturday the 6th of November arrived, and the race was on! If you have taken the tune to read this , then you probably know the coutcome of the race so nothing more need be said. Looking back upon these memorable two days from this my warm, comfortable room, I must admit that the actual race on Saturday was almost as difficult as the twenty-four hours preceeding it.

Renoir produced, conceived, wrote, directed and acted in The Rules of the Game. It is perhaps the jewel of his works, as it embodies all aspects of his mastery of the film medium. There are nine central characters, each one thoroughly and described The plot revolves sen sitively. around these nine in constant motion as they execute a complex game of marital musical chairs. Renoir directs what could have been chaos into a concise series of confrontations between jealous husbands, flirting wives and ardent suitor s which flows through a magnificent chateau to the accompaniment of dance and fist-fights, gunshots, music, drunken tears and which ends in unexpected violence. Key to an understanding of the film is the realization that it occurs in a Europe at the edge of war, between Munich and the invasion of Poland. The whole world, particularly the ruling classes, seems impotent before the onrushing tide of events. Renoir·, like his famous father his describes Pierre-Auguste,

environment with much sensitivity and poetry. His camera does not probe and dissect like many modern cameras, preferring to describe the situation by creating a is which field of depth time, its for extraordinary anticipating as it does Welles' Citizen Kane by about a year. I found no close-ups, as Renoir does not isolate th_e individual; in stead, he concentrates on groups of two or three at middle distances and larger groups from farther away. He does not confine the action to the first plane as he often shows with stunning clarity action deep in the backround which enriche� the quality of the image and OU understanding of that image. The camera moves precisely and easily through the interiors and exteriors, travelling and panning at seemingly perfect times, never intruding, always like one of the more quiet guests who says little and sees much. The sound track recreates in audio a depth of field equal to that of the images. In one image there may be action at several distances from the camera, and sound from each level and from an action out

of sight of the camera. The dialogue tells all one needs to know of the ideology of the film. An old general repeats at least four times his observation that heroes and true aristocrats are a rare and vanis hing breed. Renoir in his role states that the modem world is full of lies- lies by "governments; the the radio, the cinema, newspapers." Music does not rise and fall with the drama but is always an integral part of the scene presented. One particularly telling shot shows the keys of a player piano as it pounds out the "Danse Macabre"; the former piano.player watches rather unhappily while all around hell is breaking loose. For cinema buffs, this film is essential. For tho se who seek entertainment, do not be afraid. Renoir does not make film s for an elite. He realizes that cinema is a spectacle whichmust please people if it is to be a successful and influential medium. That the film was at first unsuccessful reflects its newn.ess for the epoch. We are of the generation; post-Kane consequently, we are generally more at home in the film's · complexities than its original 1939 audience.

"two be ing with Babbitt articulate and impressive spokesmen," both educational very much re sponsible for th ese early successes in th e area of foundation funding. In outlining the evolution of Hamil ton-Kirkland new· th e ca mpaign strategy, Wallace pointed out that college s had always approached th e donor at th e college's convenience . The typical campaign was a cyclical procedure involving a relatively static stud ent body and periodic "replacement" costs rather than major expansion. This campaign was typically promoted for one year in t en wit h a 3-year pledge payment period. However, the pledge card, th e basic fund raising tool, is not suite«;i toward so liciting the · audie nce of an institution 'like Hamilton. It was designed for an audience whose allegiance was often short -lived, usually the product of a promotional push. Pledge cards we re legally binding on t he donor because his · allegiance was expected to wane rapidly after th e close of the campaign. The pledge card had t he effe ct of causing the donor to make the smallest possible gift because he knew it was a legally binding commitment". Walla.ce explained, "These assumptions do not apply to a college donor. His allegiance to t he institution is solid and enduring. He is motivated by a desire to help his institution, not by a sales campaign. :His , commitment is moral, not legal. , Wallace noted that the selling points of the two colleges are "certainly unique in their aggrega te , if not individually." In a p p roac h i n g founda t ion s , Hamil ton and Kir kland emphasize their coordinate nature as the only two colleges in th e East to adopt th e clust er concept as an imaginative re spons� to increased compet ition from burgeoning institutions wit h larger faculties CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Bristol Center To Be Limited To College Community Only Services Auxiliary The Committee of the Student Senate has recommended to the Senate that all non-college community members who are not escorted by a member of the college be barred from entry to the Bristol Campus Center. The committee cited the crowding of Bristol due to the i n c r easi n g size of the Hamilton-Kirkland community. The committee's feeling was that the addition. of Clinton residents and children of faculty was not justifiable in light of the already overtaxed facilities. Mr. Andi:ew Wertz, director of BCC, said that the over_crowding and the prQblem of fighting on a Bristol Director Andrew Wertz

BY DAVE CLARKE Curriculum Student The Committee has taken action on the problems of the grading system and class size. The sub-committee on the grading system has sent out letters to many graduate schools analyzing the relative merits of a number system versus a letter system of grades. The sub-committee on class size had recommended the hiring of three more faculty deal with to members overcrowding in certain subjects. Plans are also being made to review this year's Winter Study Program next February, and to issue a course evaluation booklet based on the Fall semester courses currently in progress, similar io the Spring course evaluation booklet published last spring. The Han,.ilton grading system has been a subject of recent controversy. The sub-committee on the grading system is trying to define the actual probleµis, and to clear up the misconceptions about the weaknesses of the system. Under the direction of Peter Hamblin '72 the sub-committee has sent out a letter to 2 5 law schools and 25 medical schools. The purpose of this letter is to determine what these schools do with Hamilton grades- whether they convert them, and if so how, or whether -they read them as letter grades. Four sets of statistics were asked of the graduate schools: 1) the grade point average of all accepted applicants in the past three years, 2) the LSAT and MCAT scores for those same students, 3) the class rank in college of these _same students, and 4) where these students graduated from. Another letter has been sent to that various services the summarize a student's ability for graduate school consideration.

These services were asked how th ey composed their summary, and whether any provision was made in their summary for the relative merit of one college over another college. The su b-committee has approached the Dean's Office here to find out how Hamilton students have done in regards to acceptance at law and medical schools recently. The sub-committee will also experiment with converting individual Hamilton grades to a four-point system, and comparing the result •with the total letter grade average of the same student. Chuck Flynn '74 reports that the class size sub-committee, after studying class size statistics, feels that in general they are amazmgly good. In many cases the breaking up of large classes by professors helps what would otherwise be a strained situation. the report the In sub-committee i s now drawing up, it will recommend that three areas have priority when the school mcreases the size of the faculty:

Gene Lo� Leads 5 Harriers .To NCAA Nationa1s in Oncag o

BY TIM DELANEY Hamilton runners brought their finest season in -y:ears to a close by representing the Hill in the NCAA College Division Cross Country at Championships Wheaton, Illinois last Saturday. Against 400. of the best harriers in the nation, · ·Marc Peuron placed 8Qth, Ken Judson 121, Tim Delaney 180, and Paul Ford, 199. Vito Stellato , injured in a, pre-meet practice, placed 366th. The meet was tun on a golf course in suburban Chicago, and on this day both the surface and weather were perfect. For most of the runners the race was the �ost relaxed and enjoyable all year. The pressure for a team victory (technically there was no team) was absent. Instead, the thrill of national competition, of "just being there", was enough to set adrenalin flowing. A whirlwind tour of Chicago the night before ' added to the experience. Ironically, the season ended for the Harriers as it had begun- in the 1 cold, grey light of early morning�' By sunrise they were on the road. The five runners who had risen at �a� _months before to begin the first of a week of triple- workouts were on their way to the nationals. Twelve hours and endless miles of cornfields later they arrived. 1hrilling sights along the way included· Lake Erie, Cleveland and Gary, Indiana.

Swimming Team's Aspiration: Repeate d Und_efeated Season

BY FREDERIC BLOCH In two weeks, the 1971-72 Hamilton College Swiming Team begins its season, trying to repeat last year's spectacular undefeated record. On paper, the prospects look good. Coach Eric MacDonald recently called this year's squad "the strongest I have had since I

came to Hamilton." -Rememoering the excitement that went along with last year's' 10-0 season, MacDonald hopes for more of the same this year. But refusing to make any predictions, he merely said, ''We're going to be tough." Tough meets are nothing new to most of the members of this year's team. Last season, four of their meets were decided by less than ten points. The most memorable to Hill fans was the "come from behind victory" over Cortland, decided in the very last relay by .1 second. Much of last year's strength, however, rested with graduating Seniors Larry Bentley and Paul Crumrine, and Bruce Rinker '73, who is spending this year in Paris. In over half their meets last year, those three men compiled over 25 points in individual events alone. The outlook, however, is much better than it may at first seem. This year there are seven freshmen on the eighteen man squad. The three frosh to look for are Jeff Carlberg, John Needham, and Doug McDevitt. Carlberg has been keeping neck-and-neck with school iecord holder Peter �-'- • - � ;,,,� in the breaststroke·. Tftey help pay Jo/ t be broken

dives, ·and already looks better than last season. After a recent practice, Chuck Mills talked a little about this year's team. "We are in_ much better physical shape than we were last year," he remarked. "Water Polo helped .a great deal for a lot of us. Depth is by far our biggest strength, and I think we have a good chance for another 10-0 season." Mills's confidence is echoed by all his teammates as well as Coach MacDonald. MacDonald, of course, is concerned about sickness and injury. . Coaches lose hair over things like that, and although MacDonald may not be able to prevent that particular biological phenomenon, he will try to keep his squad as healthy as possible through the long season. Swim meets are too often dicided by several third places to risk any is College."

Player's Perspective

BY MIKE MURPHY '73 A season's record which stands at 1-7 demands some comments both pro and con. I think that neither explainations nor alibis ar� necessary; however, certain facts concerning Hamilton College's athletic policy may shed some light on the matter of why many things happened the way they did this season. One fact overrides all others in an overview this season. The teams that we played made an extensive effort to recruit football athletes. We played the University of Rochester, St. Lawrence University Alfred University and Wesleyan University.The word university itself connotes much larger resources for both academic and athletic use. We recently joined the New England Small College Athletic Conference. According to.policy statementsof this group,irecruiting is not to bel practiced by any member. The lack or Hamilton recruiting is compounded by the recruiting policies, either official or unofficial, of many of our opponents. This means that as other teams improve in all aspects, we remain as a static force. Middlebury is supposed to have a policy similar to ours, but in reality, it does not operate that way. Certain of our freshmen football players can attest to this fact. We do not actively send our coach (or coaches) to try to influence high school football athletes to come to Hamilton. Often an interested Hamilton alumni may contact students in his area to discuss the college academically, and then, perhaps, athletically. I see no reason why a scholar-athlete should not be contacted and shown some of the possible benefits of our school. Scholastically, the benefits need not be discussed. We should all know what we have gotten ourselves into. Athletically, the benefits are these: 1) Almost any student can compete at our level if he is motivated enough to go out for any team. 2) There is no financial pressure on any athlete to remain a member of any team. 3) Scholastics do come first-athletics can never be considered a legitimate or final deterrent to studying unless the student is grasping for a weak excuse. 4) Athletics remain on a fair level-no rigorous training schedule is enacted for a sport unless the player is individually motivated to do so himself. The players here are highly motivated for the sport. We play because we like to play and are willing to sacrifice to play the game of football. Our level of competition must be fierce in order that we may survive. Our teams are much smaller than our opponents' teams. The size of our team may be smaller numerically than some of the freshman squads of our opponents. This is not an alibi.. We lost games because of many reasons. But we did not give up. Perhaps a lack of concentration in many parts of games contributed to our losses. The defense must be credited with a tremendous performance throughout the season. The offense plac�d too great a burden on the defense by not controlling the ball enough. As a member of the offense, I apologize for some of our performances. I'm sure that those who suffered the most were the coaches. It is unfortunate th.a t they·received the greatest disappointments.

BY PEGGY FARBER An Open Letter to the Assembly, or a plea from a sophomore, loyal at heart We frequently hear members of this community pronounce that · Kirkland is at a turning point and therefore it is necessary and important to come to some decisions which solidify the institution's policies. Admittedly Kirkland, by virtue of its newness and of its departure·. from standard ways of determining growth in the student, is always.n:threatened with the possibility of becoming lackadaisical in its demands on its students. But in meeting this threat we must be sure that we are ;not accepting an easy way out. The motio n to rid ourselves of Incompletes, except in ·the case of emerge ncy, is just such a method. Not only is it an easy way out, it is a sacrifice top-1:lthose commitments we made when we let ·ourselves print a catalogue that said: ".. .a college· educates best when it starts with the individual student and directs its efforts to th e development of the poten tial that is there rather than starting with tightly categorized specialities and molding stude nts to fit academic requireme nts." What frighte ns me about a motion that would, in e ffect, end the granting of in complete s, is that it is an ans�er to a threat that mov es toward politices that allow the coll ege to mold students to fit academic re quirements: In a m-0od that is far more worrisome tha n the possibility that we are not yet disciplin ed enough, it denies that the student must take responsibility for her education; it denies that a stud�nt's primary goal is -to l earn, regardless of her individual rate of learning; it denies; that stude nts have different rates of learning; it de nies the fact that growing from one's mistakes is more than the ,Tedeeinin g moral of a "Father Knows Best" show; most of all it denie s that the institution 's display of acade mic trust in the student is an essential part of the quality of education to which we have committed ourselves. It seems apparen t from �ome of the proposals that are presently floating in the Assembly atmosphere, that a good deal of this turning poin t we talk about is composed of the struggle to make a reputatin for Kirkland in the academic world. We are co�stantly facing an identity crisis con cerning our pee rs: will Cornell acce pt our standards as legitimate preparation for grad school; sure, we'r.! abqve competition, but do we really measure up to Bennin�on? These are important questions and issue s but the resolution is all the more crµcial because of their importanc e. My point is this, that Kirkland's innovativeness is Kirkland's re putation. If we let ourselves be swayed from an education that is more than confident in the stud en t's ability and desire to learn, if we let ourselves slip back into those structures that in dicate doubt in the studept's earnestness and seriousness of purpose, then we have lqst our privilege and right to innovatio n and we have lost our chance to establish a singular, bold re putation . What is the mean ing of th�. pioneer spirit, us latecome rs are always being nostalgically told about, if it is not a serious commitm�nt to stick to our guns about· the viability of an education where a stduent is respected because of her de sire to learn? Are we · to turn our back so quickly on those of use to whom the ideals of Kirkland w ere more than a lux ury, to whom they we re a a necessary means of achieving academic confidence? .Or qlll't we search for other me ans, means that do not call our ideals into question , that allow· us to, assert our con viction .that education can be a serious yet innovative process?

P eskin's 'Shrew' ·opens Tonight

BY WILLIAM FEARNOW "The Taming of the Shrew" will be presented this weeken� by the Charlatans. The following is a record printable the of perceptions of the performers when asked to comment on their characters. The actors are quoted in the order of their appearance at their Wednesday rehearsal. John Eager as Curtis: "Are you sure you want to talk to me? I'm only in one scene. Curtis is a menial and dumb servant to Petruchio who even gets kicked around by Grumio." Tim Opacki as Lucei:itio: "Lucentio is a Fifteenth Century teeny�bopper on the make in the sub-plot." Peter Bernstein as Tranio, servant to Lucentio: "Tranio is brighter than his master. He knows more than his master. He's devious, cunning...a sort of dumb Romeo but he has fun." Tom Creamer as Grumio: "Beaten but sly-dog servant of

Petruchio who thinks his master is all talk and no action." Jim Ragland as. Bipndello: "aged and addled servant." Ralph Stocker as Petruchio: "I saw no reason to play him as a guy who hollers around and shows his virility. You can play him as an intellectual. He is witty and more of a vamp than a lumberjack." Laurence Gruer as Hortensio: "Hortensio is very much a man's man who doesn't get on with women. He attempts to emulate Petruch10 by dominating women but· doesn't get away with it." Fred Goehner as Baptista: "He's the father of girls. Being a shrewd businessman, he considers Kate a liability." Lorraine Blank as Bianca: "Bianca is very coquettish. Everybody thinks she is more innocent than Kate but she's a bitch- it runs in the family. She likes boys a lot. Maybe she's a nymphomaniac and we don't know about it." Jim Peskin as the director: "The whole thing is incredibly huge." Kevin Groppe as Vincentio: "While I play the good husband at home my son and my servant spend all at the university." Jack Henke as Gremio: "Frustrated old lecher, no wait, according to Jim Peskin I'm the Elizabethan William F. Buckley Jr." Kate Jones as Kate: Jim Peskin, in commenting for Kate said "She tries to be mean but is a c t u ally woman. The a shrewishness is just an act."

"As we are gathered here at this time, we look around and we ·see .that we are all brothers and sisters of the same creation. We find much beauty on the Mother Earth, and she is truly our Mother... " Indian centuries-old This prayer marked the beginning of an evening's cultural experience. On Tuesday night at eight o'clock, the White Roots of Peace - a group of young Mohawk Indians dedicated to the "aggressive pursuit of peace" - presented a program of tradition, myth, history, song and dance. "We are conce!11ed young people trying to explain about the ways of our people, (and) bringing and peace of spirit the brotherhood to all people." The few "ambassadors of the Indian people" were fairly successful in fulfilling their mission. When were listeners to invited participate in traditional social dances, almost seventy people joined in - mostly students, but some children and older people. The Indians asked that there be no applause - they called it "handclapping" - in order not to disturb the spirit of understanding they hoped to create. "I ask that we would put our minds together as one mind, and give thanksgiving to the Earth... the trees...the wildlife...the I four water...the winds... the rain...the Day Sun and the Night Sun...for they too have a spirit that was given them by the Creator."

White Roots of Peace demonstrate social dance "Our people today, as few as they are, still hold on to their traditions. Today we are still a great minority, but we still have the opportunity to try to bring an understanding of peace to all people... We can see the difference among ourselves as easily as we can see the differences among the

flowers which ar� very beautiful. But t,ogether, the flowers make a beautiful bouquet." It is hoped that all people could live together as the flowers do, with each one blending in with the others, and yet retaining its unique color and shape.

reasonable period of time, then by the Faculty Committee at its own discretion." The rule change is not expected to actually change life at Dunham. The parietals have been rarely enforced at least for the last year. Ryan commented, "All it (the rule change) does is recognize the status quo." According to the Student Handbook, during first semester, women are allowed in Dunham Dormitory only from 10 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday. There are no parietal hours second semester. The hours were originally established, "...to enable the freshmen to adjust to their environment without the added responsibility inherent in the absence of parietal restrictions."

BY BILL GADBOW The Student Senate passed a the requesting r e solut i o n reallocate to administration student board fees. Chairman of the Board of Stewards Larry Sternberg '72, revealed a -large discrepancy in the amount of money that is paid by the students for food and the amount of money that is actually paid for food services. College Controller Ronald R. MacDonald released these figures: $357,563 is collected in board fees, $299,639 is paid to Service Systems, $85,270 is paid in o verhea d , not inclu ding administrative overhead. These figures show the college realising a deficit of $27,346. However,

p o i nted out, S tern berg MacDonald's figures included $41,255 per semester to pay for the loan that originally financed the building of Bundy Dining Hall and Quadrangle. Sternberg states that the Bundy Dining Hall is a college building convertible to other college functions, and therefore should be paid for by all students, not just independents paying board. If the money to pay back this loan were not taken from board fees, there would be an additional $25,206 that could be used on meals. Sternberg says that this amount of money would allow Service Syst�ms to greatly improve the quality of the food.

Hockey �on Opens Vs. Norwich At Home Tom'w

BY JOHN HUTCHINS The Hamilton College varsity hockey team opens its schedule on Saturday night, December fourth, against a strong Norwich squad. Norwich won last year's game 4-2 and the Continentals will be looking to avenge last year's loss on Saturday night. Excluding the loss of last season's captain and high scorer Mike Thomas, the Hamilton squad · remains fairly intact and should a have successful season, hopefully bettering last season's record and obtaining a playoff spot in the second division of the E.C.A.C. A nineteen game schedule pits Hamilton against such powerful opponents as Bowdoin, Vermont, and Massachusetts, who always field strong teams and hold the top three positions in Division II, Buffalo, American International - College, and a new addition to the schedule, Colgate. Also on Hamilton's schedule are Oswego, Williams, Colby, Middlebury,

Hartford Heade d; Healthy Hoo pste rs Ha"e High Hopes for Happy He roics

BY DON HUGHES The prospects for Hamilton's '71 basketball season appear much brighter _than they have in recent years. And this optimism is directly traceable to an influx of tall; powerful, and skillfull freshmen, who together with returning vets, ;ue expected to show Hamilton College some of the best basketball that's been seen in quite a whiJe. Returning of course is Ernie Found (6'5", '74), last season's leading scorer and rebounder. In spite of playing out of position at center last year, he still averaged around 15 points per game. Back at forward, he should score more, the b earing no l o!}g e r responsibility to rebound alone. Herbie Ogden (6'2", '75) and Mark Badger (5'9", '75) are slated to be the starting guards. Ogden, exceptional on defense, drives well and is good off the boards. He is presently troubled, however, by a· knee injury. Badger is a t a l ented player, whose ball-handling i s excellent.

Player's Perspective-

,BY LOUIS LEVENSON This week's Player's Perspective answers the 7 most frequently asked questions about the Hamilton Squash Club. Q: What do Hamilton's scantily attired athletes do behind the closed doors of the four walled cubicles adjacent to the gymnasium? And what is that irritating "thumping noise"? A: Unfortunately, sports fan, the computer does not handle more than one question at a time. Try again. Q: Is it true that the Hamilton College Squash Club includes returning non-lettermen (listed according to sneaker size in accordance with intercollegiate rules): Brad Caswell '74, Tom Horn '73, Louis Levenson '74, Thom Pirodsky '74, George Van Allen '72, and Mike Heller '74? A: They sure did! Last year's overall record of six wins and five losses gives the Hamilton racket squad high hopes for an even more successful season. Coach Max Weber has worked hard at developing strong and consistent philosophy of the Christian Ethic. Q: Are there any new faces on the_ up-and-coming squad? A: Holy cow Phi!. ! The novice non-lettermen are better than ever. The new additions to the team are Jim Campbell '73, Jim Francett '73, Mark Nelson '75 and Bruce Smith '73. Q: Are letters really that hard to get? A: They are if nobody writes to you. Q: What is the difference between a squash ball? A: As a matter of fact the Hamilton players occupying the top three rungs on the ladder are: Brad Caswell, sophomore, who was the number one player last year as well, Jim Campbell, junior, who was not with the club last year and so far this season has proved himself an excellent southpaw racketeer, and senior George Van Allen, affectionately known as "The Whiz Kid." Q: How does squash compare with the popular sport of tennis? A: The difference between squash and tennis has been likened to the contrast of squash and turnips, which bear no resemblance whatever to each other. Besides, one would never think of eating tennis. Q: Are Hamilton and Kirkland students invited to watch home matches? A: I'd like to say this about that. Fans are always welcome. The next home squash match is Wednesday, December 8th at 3:30 P.M. against the brazen horde from Rochester University. In. case of rain, the matches might be held in the main reading room of the Ellen Curtis Libra . fans are reminded to bring their umbrellas. -.

Colleges Plan Coed Housing For Next Year

BY STEPHEN PERCY The results of the recently distributed coed housing questionaire indicate that a large number of Hamilt on and Kirkland students are interest ed in having coed housing. The resµlts of t he ·survey have been given to the administrations of both colleges and planning has been initiated to begin coed housing next fall. In response to the question "Do you think t her e should be coed housing?", 380 Hamil ton students and 3·42 Kirkland students replied yes. Only 52 Hamilton students and 7 Kirkland students r eplied negatively to the question. Approximately 800, or 60 per cent of the student body from the two campuses answered the questio naire, which was not sent to seniors. Those who r eplied affirmatively to the first question were asked if they were willing to live in a coed dorm. A total of 536 Hamilton and Kirkland students indicated they were willing to live in a coed dorm, whereas 186 students from both campuses wer e unwilling. The fear of the Coed Housing Committ ee, that

VOLUME TWO

The Hamilton Administration will go ahead wit h Carnegie Dorm, while Kirkland favor s either Root or B. The Coed housing plan at Hamilton will become part of the - pr esent lot tery system used to c:(etermine the distribution of r ooms. Those who desire coed housing will simply choose a room or suite in on e of the oed dorms. Since all squat ter's rights we re eliminated last semester, all r ooms i n the coed dor ms will be open. The class of 1976 will not be eligible to live in coed dor ms. If mor e Kirkland students sign up for coed housing than available space permits, then a lottery will be used to distribute coed, rooms. The administrations of both coll�ges are currently working out the mechanics of the new housing program. The Kirklan d Trustees have approved coed housing on an experimental basis, and con tin uation of coed housing depends on results of the t rial program beginning next fall. Hamilton considers coed housing an admi nistr a tive decision, and thus does not necessarily require Trustee approval.

st udents would not desire to live off their home campus, was eliminated by the r esults of the questionaire. Of the 256 Hamilton students who stated they would live in a coed dorm, 90 indicated they would live at Hamilton only, 23 would live at Kirkland only, and 152 indicated that it didn't matter which campus they lived on. Kirkland students responded similarly t o this question. Out of 271 responses, 30 i ndicated they would live only at Hamilton, 66 would live only at Kirkland and 175 indicated that eit her campus was suitable. These results pr ove that a substa ntial number of Hamilton and Kirkland students desire coed living situations. Since students from both campuses a re willing to live off their home campus, no great difficulties are foreseen in initiating coed housing next fall. As the coed housing plan is now formulated, one dor m on each campus will be set aside for t he new project. The questionaire showed that amo ng Hamilton students, 214 pr eferred Carnegie to go co-ed, and 98 preferred Nor th. 212 Kirkland students pr eferred B dorm and 98 Root.

The Honor Code amendments proposed by the Honor Court wer,e narrowly accepted by the required three quarters of the 600 students who voted on the amendments on December 19. This large turnout evidences great ·student support for the Honor Code and interest in making the code a workable system. The A�ademic Council of the faculty has so far refused to recommend adoption of the amendments by the faculty. Though the Council agrees with the intent of the changes, it reasons its rejection by finding a redundancy in the wording of certain sections. In our opinion, the redundancy does not impede the working of the new Honor Code. The amendments passed by referendum represent a great improvement over the presently inadequate system, an improvement sought for many years. That the Honor Court could hot provide a perfectly worded set of amendments the. first time is unfortunate, though perhaps if there had been better communication between the Court and the Council, the present dispute could have been avoided. Let us examine where we are now. A faculty committee has rejected a referendum voted on by 600 students. Students, think about that for a while. Faculty, think about that. The Hon�r Court. Chairman could submit the amendments to a vote of the

'

entire faculty, but that apparently runs a great risk of defeat. The Academic Council now wishes that the Honor Court create and submit to the students a new referendum which would iron out the redundancy. This would acknowledge the rej.ection of the previously passed student referendull_l, and would involve the risk that t�e new referendum would be defeated, leaving the school with an inadequate Honor Code. We acknowledge that the amendments which were passed are not perfect, but we balk at the possibility of ending up with the presently inadequate system. If new amendments are proposed to the students, we hope that they would pass, though few people we have spoken to have felt confident that they would if voted on right now. We feel that the highest priority of the Honor Court and of the Academic Council is to change the presently inadequate system. Unless the new amendments seriously impair the working of the system, which ·we feel they do not, the faculty and the academic council should accept them. If the Honor Court and the Academic Council wish to compromise and accept the present ammendments on the condition that new ones be voted on at a later date when chances for passage are higher, fine, but let us please change the. present system.

New Video Series to be Shown Spring Semester BY LINDA SIROW A te n -part APB-TV video tape series called "The New Co n scious n ess" will be show n o n campus beginni n g February 7 to ru n throughout the Spri n g lSemester. The topics covered are controversial a n d the shows are produced "specifically for the tastes of college stude n ts." Subjects of the te n films in the program i n clude: repressio n i n America, the individual's rights to determine the desti n y of his body, docume n tation by Dick Gregory of the America n Atrocities i n Viet n am, a n d the story of Lieute n ant Cally. A reporter from Bosto n 's u n dergrou n d newspaper The Phoenix viewed the programs a n d comme n ted, "Never before co n fro n ted with video work of such co n siste n t excelle n ce, I fi n d myself slippi n g i n to a n alogues i n

order to describe it." Mr. Wertz, the· director of the Bristol Campus Ce n ter, said the program will provide "a chance to try somethi n g differe n t in programmi n g" a n d he hopes the films will e n courage further discussio n s. The video tapes will be show n weekly at various locatio n s: the Coffeehouse, Bristol Campus Ce n ter, at Dormitories if requestefl, a n d as part of some Chapel Programs. Because· the equipme n t used is portable, the tape series ca n be located almost a n yplace. Money for the program is coming from several sources. The Stude n t Se n ate, The Stude n t E n tertai n me n t Committee, the College Chaplai n , a n d hopefully the Kirkla n d Stude n t Activities Fund will �ponsor it.

INTERVIEW BY JAMES MARCH Hamilton College welcome�- the return of alumnus John Nichols '62, author of the celebrated Sterile. Cuckoo. Nichols gladly ·accepted the opportunity to teach at his alma mater when the college requested that he head English WSP 7, a creative writing course. Nichols and his wife Ruby are temporarily living in the Nesbitt's home on, College Hill Road along with .their daughter Tania and their son Luke. When Winter Study is over they will return to their residence in Taos, New Mexico (3/4 of an hour from the Colorado border) by · way oftheir V.W. bus. While at Hamilton,Nichols is renewing many old acquaintances and refreshing his memory of the campus that inspired him to write The Sterile Cuckoo. Later 'the book was adopted into· a successful motion picture filmed on location. Upon graduating, Nichols set sail for Barcelona where he compiled his first draft of the The Sterile Cuckoo while living with his grandmother. The following summer he tried his hand at selling songs in Greenwich Village cafes but quickly deserted that field, although he continues to play guitar quite well. He returned to his writing career and immediately sold his second novel, The Wizard of Loneliness.

_THE SPECTATOR

With

How do you begin writing a novel? Do you start with notes that you have jotted down on occasion? No, I don't take notes. In fact, I lose a lot of notes I'm very haphazard in what I do - very disorganized. I start off with an incident that sparks off what I would like to write towards or aroun4. Then I sit down and blam it all out in a three-week period, and that's the first draft. Then I revise endlessly. About nine-tenths of what I originally wrote ends up rejected.

As of the mid-sixties you had·published two successful novels while only three years out of Hamilton. Have you been working on a third? Yes, I've been · working on it for five years now and I've written eight or ten novels in ten years all dealing with the same subject matter. They are revisions, they are complete books, they are the same kind of story dealing with the same material told from maybe six points of view. One book was 600 pages long with 20 · characters, and another version with 2 characters was only 170 pages long. One was told in the first person and another in the third person. All of them, more or less trying to deal with the same subject yet never really successfully doing it. Do you feel that it is necessary for a person to stick to topic that he is acquainted with when he is writing creatively ? No, you can learn about something, but I think that it is very important to write about what you know best. I think it's a good idea to write about something · you have experienced - something you understand. For example, ! could make up something that never happened dealing with middle class· Anglos in a New Englanq setting and I would be writing about something I understood. I would have an authority simply because a lot of my upbringing was in various New England locales.

Then yo,µ do enjoy writing? I_ really love writing. I guess for the four years from 67-70 I really had a tough time writing. I mean I wrote a lot, but I didn't really dig it. It _was orettv much a masochistic exercise.

seemed to be pretty heavy for a couple of years, but it seems to have receded. I suppose there· s a dope scene at Hamilton, whereas there wasn't one before. But I don't run across people in every nook and cranny going -psst smack, bennies, dex. �eople tell me that drinking can still be a problem here, like it once was. You mentioned the 'dope scene' do you think that you will ever write a book where dope will be the lubricant instead

If someone has just completed their first book and. would like to see it published, how can they go about getting it printed? I just took The Sterile Cuckoo around door-to-door. I'd bring it to one publisher and ask them to drop a post card when and if they rejected it, and they would drop a post card and I'd pick it up and take it home and re-edit it and drop it at the front office of another publisher. I took it to seven or eight publishers and got very lucky the, ninth time. They said it was pretty much of a rarity to have someone come in off the streets like that . and have it accepted. Another way would be to go to different agents and try to get one of them to accept it. Did you find it easy to get your second book accepted? I had no problem with The Wizard of Lonelinesss. It was sold before the first was published, since there was a lot of build-up on the first book.

doesn't work that way. Writ�g became very difficult in '65. I became very self-conscious, very confused. When I started writing books I wanted to be a millionaire and a bestselling author, but within a year that was all destroyed.

PAGE SIX Al , .

'f '

There was a period in the sixties when you hadn't been heard from in a while in the literary world, had you given up writing? Starting about 1965 a lot of -shit hit the fan, personally. On a national level 1965 was the year that Lyndon Johnson began bombing Vietnam. For a lot of people Vietnam was the door to an incredibly traumatic experience. It was the year that I got married, the year that I published my first novel and sold my second novel, the year that a movie was made of my first book. People were telling me that I'd make a quarter of a million dollars on my second book: The Literary Guild was jumping on The Sterile Cuckoo, it was being published overseas, and everything was going to be fame and fortune. Then, within the space of five months, my world Wei$ turned upside down. The fact that at the age of 25 I could have gotten everything that I had ever wanted was just an amazing pile of bullshit. ·

In the beginning I said' I'll hire an agent and I'll hire a lawyer-let it all happen-and I'll sit in my little room and write books and become famous. It just

Most of the stuff that I wrote was dead. It was either violent or nihilistic polemical or self-conscious, eve� self-destructive. For a long time I really questioned whether there was any point to writing at all in this country. No matter what you wrote it would be so totally. co-opted by the society that we lived in that it was really insignificant or immaterial to try and be an author in this country. It would be more important to take part in some political movement. But I could never stop writing. After a while I realized that it w� something that I. could do. I had been writing ever since I was six years old, it was a talent that I had and I was almost killing it, through confusion, bitterness and self-pity. It was really something I ought to preserve and be a little less uptight about. The two books that I have written, were pretty much done so unconsciously. I wasn't thinking about messages to the society tha! I lived in. Have you been trying to include messages in your writing since then? Ever since 1965 everything that I've written has usually been killed because it was incredibly self-conscious. For a while my novels were going to end the Vietnam War - they were going to run down the whole American history scene, startiQ.g when the first Pilgrims landed and began slaughtering the Indians. It got to be very garbled. You can get really depressed let's say when something like Soul on Ice or Soledad Brother is number one on the New York Time's bestseller list and you know those guys are hiding out in Algeria or being murdered in San Quentin. It's very depressing to read Eldridge Cleaver's autobiographical notes in Playboy stating that he wants to shove a knife in the heart of America, and right beside that is a glossy full-page ad for Johnny Walker and on the other side there's a woman in a bikini advertising underarm deoderant. You wonder if it's worth it, the co-opting of this type of material in that kind of format. Do you recognize any noticeable difference in personalities at Hamilton over the years? I don't find a really radical change. The atmosphere seems different, but this f is a inormal· period. The student movement throughout the country

of alcohol1 No, I don't know that much .about dope. Grass is about as far as I go, and I think grass if fine. I've never been a junkie, and I've been too chicken to try LSD, so ,I don't know enough about it to write on that subject. You lived in New York City for five years, why did you get out? I kind of had it with New York City, they're very uptight in New York,· constant pressure. I went through a kind of cultural shock there. A lot people in my generation come out of the security of a middle class upbringing - a private school education such as Hamilton - and you think that you have the world ·on a string - whatever. I was locked into the New York publishing scene, the bread scene, the money scene. I was surrounded by an amazing amount of cynacism, cruelty, brutality, phenagling, skullduggery. I had a lot of bitter experiences� and learned about the. money world down there in a very short time. By just being married I had a lot of pressure on me-for the first time in my life-to really relate to another human being. Writing a book is one thing that you can be very sensitive about, but trying to articulate with someone else who is living with you, very close to you, is very difficult-and that kind of hit the fan also. There was this whole breakdown personal, a business, a career, and a national breakdown going on. I really wanted to function on creative and political levels, yet I was so uptight because there was no place in New York where you could get a rest, no matter where you went there was a war going on. Around the corner on St. Marks it was like a training ground Lindsay's tactical patrol force. It was kind of degenerating, deterioratiii.g - there was a lot of racial tension. It was like 1984 - almost suicidal. Why did you choose Taos? We both grew up •in the East and we w_ere fairly aware of an Eastern culture. Smee we did not know much about the West we felt it would be a good idea to learn about a different section of the country, so we took a chance on New Mexico.

Blue BOurices Back Against Williams & Oswego; 0ppose Colby Tomorrow Aft. in Sage Rink

BY MANNY SARGENT Returning from Christmas vacation, H am ilton's hockey team had scheduled contests against two of the stronger E.C.A.C. Division II clubs: Buffalo and Vermont. Prior to these games Hamilton held a 1-1 record in last December's competition. In their opening game 5-3' victory over Norwich, the Blues first line of Steve Malcolm '74, Doug Janes '73, and Ben Madonia '74 powered H am ilton's offense which overwhelmed an unusually weak Norwich squad. The following Friday saw' Division II champs, Bowdoin, break up a 2-2 tie with five straight goals to rack up a 7-2 victory. Wednesday, January 12 brought the Catamounts from the University of Vermont here to battle a hopeful Hamilton team, many of whom well remember the game two years past when a superior Hamilton effort was awarded with an 8-3 victory. This year the roles were reversed with the visitors posting an 8-3 win. The game started quickly with both sides failing to take advantage of scoring opportunities

BY STEVE ZUCKERMAN Did you know the "Continental" basketball team presently has a record of 0-10? Disappointing? You bet it is. I would like to see a winning basketball club (or any club for that matter) at Hamilton College, but why am I denied this simple pleasure? Perhaps it is due to our supposed lack of recruiting, but I doubt that this explanation suffices to answer my question. We do have real basketball talent on "The Hill," as anyone who has witnessed a basketball game will readily agree. Ernie Found, at 6'5'\ is very accurate from the outside and is a potent rebounder and big man. He is good. Mark Badger is an excellent ball handler and is also accurate from the outside, sometimes. Sometimes he isn't. He is good. Pedro Garcia looks like a fantastic player at times (usually in practice). He is good. Herbie Ogden is probably the busiest man on a basketball court that I've ever seen. hustling, running around on defense, and making me tired just watching him. He is good. Rounding out the usual starting five is John Adams, a fairly ineffective 6'10" center with a great deal of promise. Craig· Fallon turns in an impressive performance at times, and Doug Wright has shown a lot of strength off the offensive boards. "Wherefore hath God wrought upon us such a p�stilence?" (Deut 2:11). Is it perhaps attributable to our relative inexperience? Two of the above mentioned players are sophomores, with the remained five freshmen. Only Found has ever played in a college game before December 5. This is one possible explanation and our recent loss to Rochester, considered a powerful team, by the score of gg.92 shows that we are improving and are capable of quality play. But the fact remains that Coach Murphy has won only one game in his year and a half as basketball coach. How much can he be held responsible for the actions of his coachees? Perhaps his insistence on tight discipline (requiring short hair and abstinence from jungle hockey) causes morale problems. It is rumored (from reliable sources, of course) that there i_s dissention and dissatisfaction among the team members about certain individuals and policies. But, in all, Coach Murphy's impressive High School record and general competence leads me to suspect that he is not really the cause of the lack of victorious combat. So, what excuses are left? I think the cause is the general attitude towards athletics prevalent at Hamilton. It seems as if no one really car�s enough to inspire our athletes to perform to-capacity. The psychological factor is extremely important in any competition, and it seems as if most schools have a decided advantage over us in this _ respect (as evidenced by our empty stands during games). The addition of the scrappy, duking Mike Scott and Ernie's refound abilities leads me to suspect that the difficulties should be a part of history, and I predict a winning club for the duration of the season.

John Needham defeated.

Editor's Note: Brian Morin, co-captain of the Hamilton Hockey team, is undoubtedly the most versatile _hockey player in the proud Hamilton blue. Morin, always a center, was called upon last season to play the entz"re year at defense. Starting out the '71-'72 campaign he was centering the second line, ivent back to playing rearguard and is currently pivoting the powerful first line between/Doug Janes and Ben Madonia. I have often thought of the hockey fans at Hamilton as rather an extr�ordin�ry bunch. Not because one of them might pass along a few msultm& remarks to the referee, or even throw a dead fish or �wo in �e general direction of the other team's goalie. There really 1s not�ng unusual about such �ehaviour around hockey rinks. Anyway,the days of the wet fish are long gone at Sage Rink. In fact, our fans have recently acquired.a certain sort of sophistication, such as knowing when to throw a hat onto the ice,and why. But until quite recently, Hamilton fans seemed to get so caught up with the excitement and violence of the sport that the outcome itself was only of secondary importance. For instance, if you can remember back to that glorious opening victory against the Norwich Cadets, I was astonished to find that the most memorable play in the eyes of most fans was not the way in which we scored any of our goals but an incident when one of the smaller Hamilton players knocked two of the larger Cadets off their feet. Perhaps, however, one should merely understand that for m�ny · fans who are new to this sport, games at Sage Rink serve primarily to allow members of the college community to let off some steam and help them keep their sanity during the long winter months. Please do not misunderstand me. My purpose is not to ridicule in any way our fans for there are few teams which receive the same amount of support. Yet while many prominent people on the campus are pleased that such little emphasis is placec;l on "winning", the�e are at the same time, unless I am badly mistaken, a great _ maJonty who are proud to watch little, old Hamilton College hold their own a�nst the University of Massachusetts and other "big ' name" schools. o Unf rtunately, as has been already witnessed three times. this year, many of the schools in Division II hockey are constantly expanding and improving their hockey program. Hamilton College does hold contracts which cover two or three year periods with almost every team in our division, and such Division I teams as Colgate · and Army. If Hamilton hopes to renew such contracts it is inevitable that it too must continue to improve its own program in order to keep pace with the change. In the very near future, members of this college are going to be forced to make a decision regarding the future of, what many think , of as the "major sport, on campus. Does the recruitment on an active scale, of hockey players who are academically qualified really conflict with the ideals of this college? If so, contrary to what I firmly believe, then the outcome is obvious - the caliber of play by Hamilton hockey te�ms in the future will steadily decline to a point when the varsity will meet its match against such schools as Brockport State and the like. If not, then those concerned must immediately initiate an active program to improve Hamilton hockey and ensure that Hamilton will in two or three or five years, still be able to compete on the same sc�e with so called ''big name" schools. Perh ap s my view represents a minority, but I believe that if the outcome of the ensuing dilemma is the former and not the latter then Hamilton will lose much' of it·s attractiveness and uniquenes� among small colleges.

SENATE REAPPORTIONMENT On Tuesday night th� Student Senate of Hamilton College will face its most significant challeRge of the year. The twenty-three representatives will be asked · to overcome their vested interests and constituency differences fraternity, independent, freshman - and approve a proposed Constitutional amendment which. would finally give all students an equal vote m choosing a repr�sentative student government.

We are not blaming anybody for this situation, for we understand that students have -many responsibilities to meet and, interests to pursue. However, we believe that,: our problem with personnel is indicative of a more basic question, that being whether there is sufficient student interest to make _ further publication of the Spectator worthwhile.. aiid-whether there is any real need for . the newspaper. We feel that the Spectator is facing a crucial point, because we cannot see the present staffing situation enabling us to continue as we have. There are too few people doing too much work, and this burden eventually becomes intolerable.

Winter Study. Play Opens; The Climax -Who is Saved?

BY JERRY NUNZIATO The experienc e of The ater is rather unique ; it is at once both a re fle cted view of t he world beyond the theater doors and a dire ct vision of the world within. It is made up of p eople, bot h :the persons fictitious universal, re presented on the stage in a heightened form of realism, and the re al, part icular people, tqose actors, tec hnicians and even �hat in . the involved audience, production. The people invoJved share the . emotions, ideals, anxieties and frustrations of both the c harac ters represented onstiage snd the persons within the

production. The current wave in drama is aimed at poin ting out of p u r p o se t his dual representation and involvement in the Theatre , and flowing wit h this trend isSaved by Edw ard Bond, the latest production of the Hamilton - Kirkland Playe rs. The production is the fruit of a Theatre Winter Study Proj ec t led by Richard Bell, and has been described by a membe r of the company as "an experiment in cooperation and learning in both the performance and tec;:hnical aspects of theatre." To this description I would like to add also the - experience of the audience, for this production

audience have to s e ems involvement as one of i ts primary aims. The program for Saved contains five pages of comment by members of the company w hich attempt t o point out to the viewers the problems and rewards that went along with the production. Per haps the great est problems presented bySaved were technical on es: How to create on the set and wi th the set the various moods int ended by the playwright .and how to act ually involve the audience in the action of an intensely personal play. the F o r t una t ely tec hnical problems we re more t han ade quately solved.

Open Registration Determin es Interests With registration for second semester courses virtually complete, Hamilton-Kir�land Registrar Robert J. Rega.la explained several changes and developments in that process. For the first time, the- .colleges 'followed an open enrollment policy in registration. The desire :to determine more closely areas of ·student interest , in course �election. was advanced as a justification for the change. 'rhis information will be made available to the faculties of both colleges ·an d can be used to reorganize departmental course offerings according to student preferences. The elimination of limited enrollments allowed all students .to apply for courses on an equal

basis. Previously, class privilege served as the determinant. Any student who has completed the prerequisites is eligible for any course, thus eliminating the c losi.n g of courses to underclassmen. Regala noted that this semester's registration reversed the usual trend of more Kirkland students in Hamilton courses than Hamilton students in Kirkland courses. However, in computing this statistic, a Hamilton course taught by a Kirkland professor was considered a Kirkland course. Regala also noted that the colleges did not use a computer in determining course registration. The only items computerized by his office are student grade slips.

Kirkland Out of Red Kirkland has. received gifts totalling $7 00, 000 this fiscal year, thus enabling the college to operate without a deficit for th e first time. The fargest g ift of $500, 000 was received from the Milbank Memorial Fund in recognition of Kirkland's innovativ e educational policies as a women's college. The Fund usually ma kes grants to medi cal schools and hospitals. The gift to Kirkland, recei ved shortly before Christmas, is unrestricted and may be used in any way t he college wishes. "A ,, Dorm will be renamed Mijbank Hall. An addi tional $1 00, 000 was received in a bequest from the will of Ed it h Mi nor. Mrs. Minor was the sister of Alice and Clark Minor, a ft er whom M inor Hall and Minor Theater are named. Other gifts received this year from vari ed sources total approximately $100, 000. This includes $25,000 from the Baker Trust to be used for scholarshi p aid to s tudents. The proje cted budg et for t his year included a deficit of

(!A' Dorm Now Milbank

$625�000 but now that t he gifts have been received, the

budge t should balance.

Kirkland President Samual F. B abbitt explained that Kirkland will pay $100, 000 as··its share of t he payment of the new lib rary. Had Kirkland not received the gifts, it would not have been able to make the payments at this time. Next year's budget anticipates a deficit s imilar to the one anticipated for this year, though i f Kirk.land can raise similar funds, the budget would balance . The proposed budget for next year, which was approved by t he Board of Trustees, include s a $100 increas e in board for next year, br inging stude nt fees t o a total of $4,200 a year. It was hoped t hat the $200 raise would prevent an increase in the defi cit. Any de ficits inc urred by K irkland have, in the past, been made up by funds out of the Hamilton budget. Howe ver, at their January me eting, the Hamilton

Trustees, in conjunction with the recommendations from the joint Hamilton-Kirkland Finance Committee,. decided t hat there would be a limit set on t he funds wh ic h could be transferred from Hamilton to Kirkland. $400, 000 this year, $200, 000 next year and no funds the following year were the limits recommended. This was decided in expectation t hat Kirk land would grow increas ingl y independent from Hamilton financially. So far, that estimate h as prov en tru e. The receipt o f the funds is also encouraging in light of the new fund raising tec hni ques and plans devis ed by Vice-President for Resources and Development Burt Wall ace. The Colleges hope t o draw more money from foundati ons and large individual donations. The Coll eges now rely more on foundations for short term cash d emands and on individual dono rs for long term needs, t hus creating an in tegr ated program to meet all needs.

Senate Defeats Amendment; Petition-Referendum P1anntd BY GORDON KAYE The Student Senate defeated an amendment designed to alter student representation. The vote on the hotly debated measure was twelve in favor and five opposed, o n e v o t e s h o r t of the three-quarters majority needed for ratification. Despite this defeat, supporters of the amendment plan to present the question to the st udent body in the form of a referendum. The amendment calls for the elimination of the difference between "f r a t e r n i t y" representative and "independent" representative. Instead, it gives each class four representives in an op en election. Representation now i n c l udes ten fraternity representatives, one from each house, and ten independents, elected at large. Also included on the Senate are three freshmen, elected in September, and the Senate president. In arguing for the amendment, Senate president Jerry Ryan '72 pointed out that the measure was not anti-:fraternity, but rather a r eal istic way · to e l iminate n o - l o n g e r e xi s tent s o c i a l_ distinctions in the apportionment of Senate seats and to insure every student eq ual representation. .He pointed . out that the Senate had not in fact, split along fraternity vs. independent lines on any issue this year. "It is signigicant," he c o m ment e d , ,·'t ha t t hr e e fraternitymen on the 'Senate voted for the amendment."

BY TOBY BOSNIAK Last weekend several Kirkland students attended the Annual Conference of the Eastern Region of the National Organization for Women at the Commodore Hotel in New York City, ori Saturday,· February 12 and Sunday, February 13. I feel it is important for students to become aware of the activities within this organization. NOW has rapidly increased from 13 to over 70 chapters across the country. The organization is currently involved in attempts to secure the passage of the Equal Rights Ammendment. During the morning session of the conference, NOW officers and a representative from the League of Women Voters addressed the audience of one thousand, mostly female and mostly over twenty-five years of age. After lunch, workshop sessions were led by specialists in the arts, education, politics, law, medicine, and communications. In one workshop, discussion centered around problems concerning marriage, divorce and alternative life styles. In most states, preparation for marriage consists only of obtaining a license and medical examinations. It was suggested that the states also provide education centering around the legal aspects of marriage, divorce, and non-marital relationships, especially with regard to illegitimate children. For example, their are 134,000 illegitimate children in Connecticut who are not usually protected under state law. Another workshop was entitled "Male Consciousness Raising." This workshop was very crowded and attended by men and �omen. NOW membership is open to males. Apparently, male copsc1ousness _ groups were formed either by husbands whose wives became began to who dissatisfied with their household roles or by men Women . masculini of conceptions own their question � �d me� · expressed problems, dissatisfactions, and solutions concermng their own relations with the opposite sex. Discussion revolved around problems presented by role-playing, ego, and conceptions of masculinity and femininity. NOW elected Jeannette Rankin, 91 years old and a former member of the House of Representatives, as the first member of the Susan B. Anthony Hall of Fame. Miss Rankin voted against entry into both World Wars. In 1963, she led 5,000 women to protest the Vietnam War.

It seems that during the past four years the attempts at innovative education ma1e. ?Y th college· have been aimed toward creating a is_ moo f flexibility which would idealistically, facilitate individual � ? creatv tty and development. Such endea; ors h(R) e resulted in the -�resent st'tu�tion here: Kt'rkla d College for t'ndv iduals. By adding n: the perspectw es of people outside the college communt'ty to those of some students and faculty, the women's conference sewed as a machanism for re- evaluatt'on of this emphasis £n our education, and brought to light at least two aspects of education that should be considered as posst'ble dt'rections for Kirkland . . ��e ft�st aspect concerns the relationship between a stress on indv tduality and an apparent lack of collecti.J e communt'cation of sense of group or community, £n matters academt'c or not. Individual or t'ndependent development need not necessarily lead to an isolated intellectualism on the part of students and faculty, qlthough this often seems to. be the case. Sharing and interacting are important parts of education that, should they become more promt'nent, would promote a feelt'ng of collective deo elopment. The other point concerns the relationship between Kirkland as a college and women as intelligent members of a society. Kirkland College would provide a better education for women by presenting a more frequent wome� oriented viewpoint in course content as well as p�e�enting what �re more current roles of wome n, by hiring more feminist faculty. Kirkland students might then use this education to 1lIJ elop a consciousness of themseh es as intelligent, mobile, independent women, capable of changing and incurring change. Linda Dowdell _

proposals which hopefully will be implemented at Kirkland in the foreseeable future. The major proposal was the mstitution of some type of "human studies" program into the This curriculum. Kirkl and program is to be a fusion of the following three elements: Ther·e will be the infusion of a greater element of "feminine studies" into all disciplines of the college curriculum, and perhaps the creation of an entire feminine studies center; There will be an initiation of the into studies" "action curriculum. These action studies a s d e f i n e d a r e "theory-into-practice" courses; Finally, there will be a "critical studies" program, which will · challenge the way - in which knowledge has been organized in our society. The aim of the critical studies program is to of rework the organization more into· a kno wledge meanil\gful form. Ba bbitt also P resid ent announced proposals which will applyxclusively to staffing. He announced . plans to hire more female faculty members, to instigate overt discussion of . attitudinal concepts on staffing, and to initiate the further sensitization ·of_ the existing staff to male and female roles and to the roles of students. In reference to the last point,_ President Babbitt said, "There are attitudes resent which are _inhibiting and...degrading to our students, and the students have 'the ability' to·· make these a."ttitudes overt." Sever'al important suggestions evolved in ·the· Monday afternoon workshops which could not be included in the president's summary and were therefore _ brought to light by the chairpersons o( these workshops. One of· these was that the college concentrate on making itself a more hospitable place for women, to work, perhaps by the creation of day-care .centers and part-time tenure. It was also requested that more attention be paid to the original "cluster college concept" arounc which the idea of Kirkland developed, and to the whole spirit of coordination ad innovation. The idea for a conference on women was conceived during AssociatesWeekend in Octob'er by Dean Friedensohn in conjunction with two trustees, Iola Haverstick, who is also a trustee of Barnard College, and Dr. Baxter. Others included in the planning stages of the conference were Presdent Babbitt, Elga .Wasserman, special assistant to the President on Education of Women at Yale Hanna Papanek, University; Research Associate, Commite on Southern Asia Studies, University of Chicago; and Selma Burkom, Humanities Professor at Kirkland, currently on leave.

Viewpoints Shall We Do Something with a Women's College in a Sexist Society? Those of us who were involved spent_ a heady, invigorating day and a half on February 6 · - 7 struggling with "What To Do with a Women's College in a Sexist Society?" As is always the case with such "conferences" more questions were asked than answered, more problems posed t�an solutions offered. Yet in �he summary session, when Sam Babbitt brought together the sense of the various workshops and the observations of our visiting guests, it was clear that the conference had yielded up a consensus of sorts: first, that Kirkland must begin to address itself to the special dilemmas of educated women; and second, that this goal is perfectly consonant with the college's commitment to humane, enlightened, innovative education (for men as well as women). On the one hand, the conference called for an increase in the number of female faculty and administrators; an attack on instances of sexism on the Hill; exposure of sexist biases in the academic disciplines themselves; encouragement to Kirkland women in considering the full range of career options; candid realistic discussion not only of the "difficulties" women encoun;er in the working world, but also the complexities of combining .career ' marriage and children. On the other hand, conference ·participants repeatedly reminded us that "sexism" is a double-edged demon: if the educated woman is confined PY the drudgery of housework and childcare, the educated man may be equally confined by the stultifying, frustrating job he, holds in order to support his wife and the children. Another point: if education for women is often painfully separated from the realities of existence in the world as it is, if education for women is 1 individualistic to the point of undermining any possibility of viable community, the same is true of education for men. Liberation for women must imply liberation for men. So much for last week. Now what? To get launched, let me propose again that Kirkland coffee hours on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays at 4:30 (McEwen Coffee House) be used as a forum for continued discussion and planning. If interested members of The Hill Community--Hamilton as well as Kirkland-­ would come together there on Tuesday, February 22 we could pick up where the conference left off. ''What To Do with a Women's College in a Sexist Society?" was no more than an opener and.. a, �J statement of our opportunity; if we fail to follow through, it will have been a waste of our time and ener�.

My participation in the Kirkland weekend consisted of attending two _worksh?ps on Sunday following the ingenious and · ''fun" opening session. In a wa� Dr . Annette Ba ,ter really said everything �hat needed to be said in her opening statement; I have a feeling that it could have served as the summary just as well! !he panels _served to sensitize me to a number of problems and attitudes at Kirkland College. First, I think some girls at Kirkland, often. t�e most articulate at this conference, have an unjustified unferiont� complex abo�t their college and its courses. If, indeed, they do find courses which are shallozq they should complain and get �hem "beefed up." Second, I don't think we at Hamilton College realize the ext�nt to which Kirkland students are afflicted with the Women's Lib_ ap'f!"oach and attitude. I say ·this in spite of the fact that. ecorJ,omtcs ts supposed to be taught in an "incredibly se ,dst" fashion, a. statement which I find incredible and insist is untrue. The problem in this specific instance, at least, is the dim ey� not the dark place. This may be more true at Kirkland in a wider sense than many Women's _Lib students there admit. I came away with the conclusion that we still need mechanism as well as talk to reso"/ve our day to day coordinate problems.

THE SPECTATOR

COLLEGE IN A SEXIST SOCIETY The following is Pre sident Babbitt's summary stat em ent abo11:t th e conference.

Summary Statement on the Conference of Feb. 6, 7, 1972 This statement is necessarily subjective, the attempt of one person to compile the impressions and conc�usions of many others, springin� from the discussions and presentations during two days of meetin gs. One must begin by reporting a general context which all of our visitors have sensed at Kirkland. It is their impression that many of our students are enduring a psychological and sociological isolation, largely self-imposed and the product of their upper middle-class backgrounds and the permissiveness of their upbringing, but, in part, the result of the college's willingness to encourage individual patterns of curriculum and of life. Such isolation is not unique to Kirkland, but it is virulent here. Our visitors fmd that a pervasive sense of divorce from reality haunts our students. They see this perception as false. It stems, perhaps, from a failure on the part of students to acknowledge· the reality about them, the reality of which they are a part. The college, on the other hand, does not make sufficiently overt the ways in which it participates in the society and is the result of social and economic... factors, some unique and some defining of the society as a ' whole. There was general unanimity in discussions concerning the goals of the college. The central goal, it is felt, is �o assist students towards an ideal of a critical, autonomous being, free of past negative

"

conditioning about herself as a woman, able to act as an indiviclual; and able to act in relation to society with realistic confidence. The central finding of the Conference is that the development of such a goal requires the student and the college to be involved in a continual critique ot the society and the student's relationship to it, a continual examination of her very nature and the outside forces which shape and define her. It also requires a heightened sense on the part .of students that their role at such a college defmed as feminine and innovative, will be more than usually difficult in terms of the demands it imposes on them. Becuase they are women they may not expect to have to produce at a significantly high lev�l; because ·the program will be non-traditional, it may be suspect m many quarters. . . . . It is felt that the proposition of an on-gomg and radical cntique from a feminist viewpoint can provide the kind of clirection, the kind of involvement and purpose, which our students seek and do not now find. Much has been said about the individuality and the privatism of this student generation. Our panelists feel strongly tha� t�e coll�ge can develop a number of different models of collective behavior which could, once more, involve students in joint �nterprises, hold up for tpem group options not in themselv�s req��d, �ut requiring choice on the part of students as to their participation or overt denial. In specifically curricular terms, there were three major elements suggested as needing development here. The first clearly has to �o · with feminist studies. Proposals for injecting more such studies m Kirkland's curriculum range from the addition of one or two courses to the establishment of a major center for female studies resulting from four of five appointments in the area. Pervading all such suggestions is the clear imperative that all courses consciously include those elements related to their content which involve the role and definition of women, elements which traditionally have been excluded. It is suggested that the feminist viewpoint provides an ideal platform for a critique of past developments in every discipline. It provides an exciting and germane point of departure for the development of new perspectives. Second, it is clear that the workshops produced a mandate to work towards more active bridges between the campus and the society, a program of Action Studies. We are urged to test our classroom theory in the world and to evaluate our experience in the classroom. Proposals ranged from reasonably traditional field studies to suggestions for a mandatory year away from campus in the working worId. A third concept around which a number of ideas have clustered is a critique of the organization of knowledge itself. Kirkland· made its fist tentative steps in this direction with the denial of academic _

Essentially, these proposals indicate the possibility of increasing experimentation in course methodology and content, but we are alerted to the fact that all such experimentation must take place in an atmosphere of rigorous and careful study. Our students will not be served by a system which does not insist on the exercise of - intellectual muscle. Our participants urge us to experiment further with patterns of teaching and learning, particularly expressed as the working out of alternate possibilities to the traditional student/teacher axis.

The things that draw the crowds to Utica each Monday night are: the wrestlers, who, the fans hope, will deign to enter the lobby before each match to sign, as it were, autographs; the atmosphere, which engenders a pleasurable animalistic surge of lust in every human being that passes through the doors; and last, but certainly not least, Mr. TV announcer, Ron J. Martine?. who, rumor has it, considers himself a playboy and jetsetter because he drives to and from Cleveland three times a week in a brand new 1965 Studebaker to do a mod MUZAK radio show.

But

that was not to last. The third match started the ball rolling. The third match was to be for Tag-Team World the Championship. A silence fell over the crowd as the fearfulJapanese team of Mitsu Arakawa and "the most honorable" Yoshino Sato entered the ring resplendent in their Japanese robes, and wearing the magn ificent belts, proving that they were indeed the Champions. (Tag team wrestling, where two men oppose another two, is really the euphemistic way of saying that two men will attempt to gang-up on the smaller of the opposing team. The two man team then goes to "work" on the small guy. The result is usually dismay mixed with glee on the part of the crowd. Try and figure that out.) The challengers were two of the most popular wrestlers ever to set foot in the Utica arena: Luis (Arriba!) Martinez and "Big" Chief White Owl. The match, which was billed as a Texas Death Match, quite different from a German · one in one very important respect, promised to be most exciting. For those who are not familiar with a Texas Death Match, here are the rules: . .. no time limit,_ no disqualifications, no stopping the fight for blood, no stopping the fight for broken bones, no curfew, and most important, no holds barred! The only way one can win a Texas Death Match is if the opponent cannot get up off the mat for a count of ten. (If the opponent is killed in the match, it is the right of his manager to call for a rematch.)

However, Arakawa grabbed White Owl in one corner, and Sato firmly held Luis Martinez, who after having regained his composure had reentered the fight.

There was fear in the hearts of the crowd, there was fear on the faces of the challenger, but there was only that familiar cold stare in the eyes of the Japanese Champions, the most vicious and cruel tag-team Champions in wrestling's illustrious history. Ron Martinez (remember him?) once again stepped up to the microphone and announced the the with pr inciples overwhelming fan reaction: cheers, whistles, and applause for the popular White Owl and Martinez, but boos, hisses, jeers, and even some obscene remarks like "you fuddy duddy" for the sinister Japanese team. After Sato and Arakawa had removed their robes and belts, they bowed toward each other, threw sand at the corner of the ring (a pre-match ritual signifying the ancient Japanese custom of throwing sand in the air) and appeared ready to defend their title. From the start, the brutal style which has w restling, of characterized Arakawa's and Sato's reign of terror, was evident. Sato, as usual, was in one of his insane moods, flailing his arms about; and making motions as if he were throwing karate chops at his opponent. Accompanied by animal like grunts and growls he approached Martinez. He wore a fanatical grin. As Ron Martinez had said earlier, "...this man is a complete and total maniac. !'.

A German Death Match is identical to a Texas Death Match except that in this match the ring is surrounded by barbed wire to prevent the wrestlers from leaving the ring, and to 'make the match more interesting, not to mention the added injuries. Since Dominic and Waldo have been fighting indecisively for weeks this match was- seen to be the final decision. ,As spokesman for humanity, Ron J. Martinez pointed out, "...it's supposed to be a cure-all for everything that ails ya." (Dr. Leon Roe, of the Rudd Health Center, has reported to have started prescribing the German Death Match for such symptoms as headaches, backaches, vomiting, and the common cold.) The meaning of Martinez' cryptic message is in the process of being completely decoded However, minutes before the match time, the New York State WrestJing Commission called (collect) and said that it would not permit· the barbed wire to be placed �ound the ring, stating that it would be too dangerous for the wrestlers inside and the spectators outside the ring.

BY JIM RAGLAND On Tuesday and Thursday nights on the fourth floor of Kirkland Dorm, John Sims '72 presented Samuel Beckett's Krapp 's Last Tape and Harold Pinter's The Dumbwaiter. The production was Sims' senior project as a theater major. Samuel Beckett was sitting in the back of a theater in Paris recently, watching a rehearse! of one of his plays. As the play progressed, he grew more and more agitated, until he could no longer control his rage. Finally, he leapt to his feet, and roared so as only a quiet man can. "Stop! Stop! It isn't boring enough!''. Beckett leaves the surface of the viewer's awareness tepid, neutrai. He takes you nowhere, so you will not be distracted while his operates d elicate absurdity subliminally. He leaves you with a despair that does not cry out. The viewer is immobilized. Krapp 's Last Tape is one old mari with a chronic bowel condition, a tape recorder, and a library of tapes he has made on his birthday each year. Krapp listens to an old tape, made on his thirty-ninth birthday. He begins a new tape, but can't say anything about now, because he has nothing now. The rips the new tape from the recorder, throws it ' away, and puts the old one back on, resigned to his existence in the past, which was even then the beginning of despair for his lost youth, a realization even as he was recording his vague hopes, that they were .empty. The tape runs out; he sits and stares. Jake (nam,es as listed on the program) in the role of Krapp, with effective began an physicalization of the character. He controlled the opening pantomime, despite several instances of clumsy blocking when the tape recorder obscured the audience's view of what he was doing. The mood was shattered when the tape recorder went on.

The lines were so obviously being read when they were recorded that you could almost hear th� pages being turned. There was an interrogative inflection at the end of nearly every phrase. The speech was broken up arbitrarily, with little regard for what the words mean to Krapp, Beckett, or the audience. A n other w ea k n ess of interpretation, which must be attributed to the director, was Krapp's speaking directly to the audience on several occasions. If there is anything Krapp is, it is alone, and if there is anything Beckett has no use for, it is an aside. The P inter's-H a r o l d Dumbwaiter tenses the audience with approaching denoument against a background of absurdly comic boredom. We wait, but the denouments neverl develop. Ben and Gus, two hired killers waiting in a hotel room to do their job, do not have the distance to see the absurdity of their situation. absurdities begin Inescapable happening-. An order for liver and onions and a jam tart arrives on a dumbwaiter. A dozen matches arrive in an envelope under the door. Gus tries to make it all make sense. Once he has started thinking, a fatal mistake for a man in his (our) position, he must begin �ying to make sense out of

his job. Of course, it does not make sense. Gus' fear of the unknowable builds to hysteria and threatens to shake Ben from his unquestioning existence ("You just do your job."'). The play builds to a jarring and unsatisfying e n d i ng. B eckett Where immobilizes you with despair, Pinter freezes you with the stark absurdity of a meaningless question. What Captain and Jeff did in th� roles of Ben and Gus, they did well. Unfortunately there was no reason for them to be doing it. The first exchange of dialogue sort of some established competitive, spiteful emnity between the two men, which was maintained throughout. As a became Ben when result, genuinely angry at Gus, he had nowhere to go but louder. The boredom of their situation was entirely neglected, with the tension building up in Gus before the motivation for it occured. When they should have been mechanically doing dialogues against the void of their lives, talking to keep alive, they were · spitting their lines at each other with a sarcasm not justified in the script. Against such an unsubtlt background,· Gus' fear became � purely situational one, hence almost broadly comic, rather than the much deeper existential fear Pinter calls for.

BY JACK THOMAS This cinematic movement was Francois Truffaut began his distin ished in two basic ways. gu career in cinema in the Cahiers du First, each film bore the imprint Cinema group during the fifties as of its director- these were no a film critic. This group advanced corporate films· whose viewpoints theories of film authorship and w e r e obscured by visionless showe.d a f fection for such anonymity. Secondly, cinematic Am er ican directors as Ford, techniques became less narrative Hawks, Fuller and Hitchcock. while the montage became more They studied the classics - Renoir, esthetically self-conscious. Camera Dreyer, Chaplin, Mizoguchi. After movements and angles were used having s e en a n d r e v i ewed to provide for greater cinematic thousands of films, the group expression. The films were lean began to apply their critical and vibrant, sensitive to the needs experiences to the actual creation: of the young French, while of films. The rest is history- expressin g a c ertain moral Go d a r d ' s Breat hl e ss a n d ambiguity. The traditional press · Truffaut's 400 Blows both attacked violently, labelling some appeared in late 1959 and the films amoral and anti -cinematic. New Wave had its first great But attendance figures climbed, triumphs. new stars like Belmondo and

Bardot arrived and the film director became a culture hero. : During the first years of the sixties, Truffaut legitimized the New Wave. His first three long films, The 400 Blows, Shoot the Piano Player, and Jules and Ji m had a great popularity due in large measure to their lyrical quality and to their relative accessibility to the general public. These films are not simplistic, but they are simple in terms of.their directness. And, unlike Bunuel, Truffaut c reates sympathetic characters following in the tradition of Renoir, whose humanistic outlook p ervades much of Truffaut's work. Jules and Jim is one of T r u f f aut 's strongest efforts. Cinematically it is stunning, combining excellent photography, w e ll-c onceived camera angles and movements wit h an extremely effective montage.

Viewpoints

C on tinued from page five a certain number of courses and the regular degree requirements. In the original concept· of Kirkland, we felt that there should be one or more benchmarks which would certify the readiness of students to progress to a second or imal stage of study. The re-in�titution of such benchmarks would make possible far more flexibility • in curriculum in preparation for the degree. Furthermore, the introduction of a contract system between faculty and students would allow for flexibility of time and density of study. In regard to the personnel of the college, the panelists were · unanimous in their strong conviction that there should be more women on the faculty. This is in keeping with a recent resolution of the Board which has requested the administration to raise the percentage of women on the faculty and to report !o the Board on the practical program of action adopted to do so. It is also necessary to assure the sensitization of all existing _ faculty and staff to the issues involved in the growing self-awareness of women. The college must adopt programs to this end. It follows that �e shoul� make overt our criteria for recruiting .faculty who are sensitive to thIS area, as well as possessing the qualities of teaching and scholarship we seek. The community �ust find ways of bringing issues of deep concern to women to its own attention, overtly, concretely, and early. It �ay be that we will have to be involved in the sensitization of our colleagues at Hamilton as well, and of the students who share our classroom. In addition to the curricular programs designed to relate the college to its society, Kirkland is urged to �nder�ake a_Pr�gram for a New Professionalism. What is proposed is an mvestlgat:Ion of the relationship between the undergraduate institution and a growing number of graduate institutions in medicine, law and graduate st�dy which are shaping their training to new values an� therefore see�ng, more flexibly trained and oriented students. I� IS our assumption that such an investigation might lead to a reinforcement of our curricular patterns and of our critical stance in regard to the world of knowledge. • .. In its deliberations, the panel of VISitors reflected nu?1ero�s debates during the course of the weekend on the relationship between Kirkland's role as a college for women and its mandate for innovation. There was seen to be no conflict between th�se goals �ut rather a reinforcement in which the feminist critique �g�t pro�de the fulcrum from which both methodology and orgamzatlon rmght be moved. 'J'he college has been challenged by these deliberations and suggestions. Our task now is to formulate these ideas into practical proposals and to submit them to scrutiny an� d�bate.

Reviewer Praises Arab Press : Counselor ; Criticizes Isreal

BY J. K. HAGE Last Monday at 8:30 p.m. Mr. Mahmoud Amr, Press Counselor a,_t the Egyptian Mission to the United Nations, spoke in the Bristol Center Lounge on the Middle East problem. Unlike Abba Eban, who spoke here earlier in the year on the Middle · East, Mr. Amr relied largely on facts in h'is speech. According to Mr. Amr, the Arab case rests firmly on legal and moral grounds.

BY SHEILA BARTON The Assembly meeting of January 31 passed two motions from the Standing Committee on Academic and Curricular �.fJ11-irs .. The first proposal concerns the recording of incompletes on student transcripts. This motion, amended at a November 22 Assembly meeting, was finally passed. It states a standard policy under which work remaining incomplete because of unusual circumstances will be due four · weeks after the end of the semester. The failure to complete the work by the end of the four week period will result in the assignment of no credit. In any case, the professor will write an evaluation at the end of the semester stating that the student is to receive an incomplete and specifying the work still outstanding and the work the remove to r equired -incomplete. Under e x t r-a o r d i n a.r y circumstances a faculty member

and student may agree to enter the four week period. In the case of a special contract, the terms of the contract will be written into the evaluation completed at the end of the semester. In the interest of resolving the m i s u n d e r s t a n d i ng on "Conc.entrations and Advising" SCACA proposed another motion restating Item 3 of the original legislation about concentrations. It states that students choosing or programs conventional concentrations must meet the requirements designated by the relevant division or divisions. In cases of student-initiated concentrations, which must differ in title and content from conventional programs and con centrations, agreement between student and advisor will be all that is necessary to establish the student's program of study. Differences of opinion between advisor and student may be resolved by consultation with other faculty members who would function as mediators.

Open Meeting Evaluates Future of Winter Study

BY GORDON KAYE The future of Winter Study was discussed and its merits weighed at an open meeting of the President's Advisory Committee Wednesday night, February 23. The general consensus of th� meeting was that Winter Study serves a valuable educational experience and should be retained in the curriculum. While Winter Study's focus will remain academic, it was clear that greater flexibility and variety of projects will be encouraged in the program. The meeting, held at Bristol, was attended by interested students, faculty, and administration. Present to speak was President John W. Chandler, as well as Assistant Professor of Biology Edwin Erickson, Chairman of the Winter Study Committ� and Professor of English Austin Briggs, Chairman of the Committee on Academic Policy. President Chandler opened with brief remarks on the short history and original intent of Winter Study. Erickson presented results of the student evaluation poll, which clearly indicated that a decisive majority of students support the. Winter Study concept. In general, evaluations of the program by professors were positive, however it seemed true that an undercur;rent of dissatisfaction with the program exis�ed. In subsequent discussion, conflict over the purpose and scope of Winter Study developed. Several students argued vociferously for an experiential approach. Other students and many of the faculty present countered that the student and the ideals of Hamilton

were best served by a continued academic focus in January. A lively philosophical debate ensued over the meaning of a "liberal arts" education. Talk then turned to more practical areas of Winter Study. It was emphasized by all that greater communication between faculty and students needs to be fostered. Among other things, it was promised that project descriptions would be more elaborate and clearer in next year's Winter Study catalogue. Also suggested was a meeting where students could easily speak to faculty who were presenting projects and gain greater understanding of the projects. The need for definitive criteria by which to measure independent student project proposals was made clear. Associate Dean Hadley S. ·DePuy spoke of coordinating more aspects of Hamilton life with the W i n ter Study c u rricula, including providing opportunities and facilities for students to experiment with skills during free hours, as well as encouraging more concerts, lectures, and athletics on College Hill duringjanuary. Out of the open meeting came a sense that Hamilton is learning through its three years of Winter Study experience. It was conceded that more vitality and more planning must go into Winter Study--and there was the implicit promise that this would be done. Most in attendance left encouraged, though the argument over academic vs. experiential focus for Winter Study could be heard raging down in the snack bar an hour later.

whole college community. This· policy is an indication that - the administration also considers the dining hall a general college building. Therefore, the present procedure, which requires Board students to repay a larger portion of the loan, is inequitable. 2. At every Adler Conference a radical improvement in dining hall food is suggested. However, the necessary steps to achieve this goal are never suggested. After two years on the Board of Stewards it is my opinion that the only way to radicai"Iy improve the food is to put more money into it. I am suggesting a way to get m_ore money into the food without increasing the Board bill. I realize that the money to repay the loan must come from somewhere, but I think having the loan ·repaid by a broader base of students is more equitable. What is implied by this proposal is that some general cost (perhaps for room) be increased in such a way that every student pays back an equal portion of the loan. The Student Senate has voted unanimously t ha t a m ore equitable procedure be found. L.E. Sternberg, Chairman, Board of Stewards

representatives, the Admissions representatives, and Mr. Newman. Presently, only the Kirkland catalogue has complete course descriptions for both schools. This poses a handicap for Hamil ton undergraduates, applicants, and high school counselors. Innovation is supported by the fact that the format for next year's Hamilton catalogue is still undecided. Until n ow, Dean Tolles h_as been responsible for the catalogue, but the new dean will not be arriving until July. Additional proposals raised by

the committee include the reconstruction and updating of the Hamilton viewbook (for which suggestions are welcome), the establishment of a Kirkland or joint student handbook, the aid and involvement of the Admissions d e p a r t m e n t i n freshma n orientation, and a "fireside chat" with the Admissions department, for the s t u d ent body, on admissions procedures.

THE SP_l;�TATOR

BY JIM VICK This report on the progress of the new Hamilton-Kirkland Library is the result of a midnight tour undertaken during Winter Study. The reporter deliberately woided consulting any "reliable sources" in order that he might maintain an unbiased point of view. The reader should keep in mind, howtV er, that the contractor� in spite of the fact that they're "months ahead of schedule" still had plenty to do as of Inte rsess ion, a nd t he f ollo wing o bse,v ations are subject to change without prior noti(!_l!· It should be first noted that many students are prejudiced against the new library because it looks like an oversized service station, because it is contructed of materials other than the traditional rocks, and because they haven't been able to rip off building supplies since the contractor locked all the doors. However, these students will no doubt be pleasantly surprised when they are finally allowed to enter the Hill's latest edifice next September after the sacred ribbon has been cut. Only then will they truly appreciate how much effort has been

BY MIKE BARLOW

After years of planning, design, re-design and execution, the new Hamilton library will become operational next fall. It will eventually accomodate 500,000 volumes and seat 700 people. But is it actually a new library or merely a new b u i l d i ng? St ill dripping with the waste-laden water which had drenched several shelves of books after a pipr had burst in the James library basement, Librarian Walter Pilkington responded to this question. "It is a new library in the sense that more skilled people will be available to help the students make fuller use of the present collections. The reference services will be expanded although the growth in personnel will be modest. The library has just become the bibliographic center for approximately twenty-five libraries in the a rea functioning on the collegiate, university, and public levels. We will be able ·to expand inter-library loan activity and place a greater emphasis on the social sciences." For the firs� ti\Ilhhere will be ade9f1ate seating for all.

the new library expended to avoid the mistakes which have plagued · every new . Hamilton building since the . tum of the century. Although nothing related specifically to books has yet arrived on the scene, the merits of the structure are already very much in evidence, as this report will show. First of all, many features of the new library will make it easier than ever before for the student to concentrate on his/her reading, crossword puzzle, or whatever. To this end, all walls (with the excep_tion of one lavendar deviant) are going to be sterile white or neutral gray, and the ceiling will be dull, white acoustic tile, inset with hypnotically endless rows of fluorescent lights. Also, there will reportedly be thousands of isolation booths (or "carrels") in which we will be able to hole up for the long, cold, Clinton· winter. Of co�se, if one doesn't go to the Library to study, the architect has made available many alternatives, displaying his d e ep u n d e r sta nd i ng o f s tudent psychology here on the Hill. For instance, several hundred of those carrels will be

a d j a cent 't o distracting transparent windows instead of the old-fashioned stained variety. Furthermore (and this may be the crowning touch), there are no fewer than THREE drinking fountains on each floor for all you folks who just can't get enough of that delicious Ham Coll water. Unfortunately, the use of plastic pipe in the fountains somewhat taints the taste, but those old minerals still shine right through. Thus, if your Economics ceases to inte�st you, perhaps a pleasant walk across the floor to the most distant d r i n ki ng fountain will relieve the boredom. In ·order to ·keep the white and gray walls from become monotonous, the library hasbbeen graced with colored cement block walls in the stairwells, well out of sight of studious types. The most nauseating colors available have been chosen for this purpose; some exampl�s are baby-blue, midnight-black, rust-red, and gr�enish-yellow.

hoUJS a day will seat fifty. "It's a different kind of library," continued Pilkington. "It has no cozy nooks. It's a modem library and its beauty lies in its functionalism. No matter how much change occurs it is such a wide open building that it is easily adaptable: Of course, that eliminates a lot of the cozmess and warmth." The student-oriented plans for the library include more space for reserve, better and cheaper copying facilities, and the resumption and improvement of the library orientation program for freshmen. F rom his office in Root Hall overlooking the new edifice, Rand Carter, Associate Professor of Art and Hamilton's "architectural authority," remarked upon the progress in aesthetic taste. that the new library indicates. "Amidst all these buildings of no distinction there is now a structure designed by a competent architect. I suppose that it was the law of averages. After 150 years of disastrous results, Hamilton has finally built something that stands out. Hugh Stubbins is one of the best second-rate architects around. Why, he's the Gilbert Scott of the 20th century." Hugh Stubbins, one of America's best known architects, 'Particularly in thee realm of campus . b��??� ' ��. • -��� . •

designed the Loeb Drama Center and t)ie Francis A. Coutway Library of Medicine at Harvard. It is his philosophy to conform to new designs and structures to fit comfortably alongside pre-existing ones. Although some may indeed question whether or not the new library does conform to this philosophy, its design embraces a number of architectually pleasing aspects. The entrance portico is recessed, giving an added sensee of dimension and space while establishing the rectangular contours of the library's facade. Rather than stony facing material, there is a glass wall separating the outside from the interior. This acts as a transparent courtain giving a-view of the interior and creating a two-way visual effect which opens up the entire first level to the quad, integ r ating t h e l i b r a r y with its surroundings rather than closing and separating it off, as solid cement would do. Unlike Truax Hall, which formerly stood on the sit_e, the library's height (being roughly equal to that of the Science Building and Carnegie) and size allow it to form a plug which undeniably defines and clearly delineates the hitherto hazy boundaries of the quad, thus addding to the cohesion and continuity of the campus, rather than subtracting om it. . � ;

Com m ons-split-pea-soup-green elevator doors. Also to be included in this wild spect rum i s t h e a forementioned passion-purple wall on the third floor. Whatever social or academic activity you engage in in the new library, you may be sure that it won't be interrupted by an unwanted fire, since nothing in the library (with the exception of the books and the people, both · of which are relatively low:.cost items) is flammable. Clearly not only our comfort but also our safety has been built into the library. The students are not the only o:pes to whom the architect was kind however. In the basement under the main staircase is a mysterious cubbyhole of considerable proportions which will evidently have no access whatsoever to the outside world, or vice versa. This chamber is either a vault in which the ashes of Hamilton's most generous alumnus will be placed or an absolutely useless space which undoubtedly deserves the prize of the Libr�y's greatest blunder. In any case, the fact that the staircase was sided with limestone which no one will see and that the underside of the stairs was hung with a beautiful ceiling for a room with no .doors, lights, windows, ventilation, or heat, makes it obvious that we should blame not the architect, who did not intend the stairs to be walled in at a l l , b u t t he Johnny-come-lately who decided after the stairs were completed that they should be enclosed. On the other hand, this may be a built-in flaw which must be deliberately included in keeping with our belief _that only God's works are perfect. Last but certainly not least in importance is the fact that the new library has been desi gned to fit the needs of an ever-growing college community. Positive proof of this is the layout of t o i l e t f a c i l i ties; even -a s t h e student-faculty ratio rises far above those of other "small" colleges, by virtue of its library alone Hamilton will boast the lowest student-toilet ratio in the East. There will be no fewer than four restrooms for each sex, one in the night reading room and three in the main section, and all completely decorated in delightful shades of white. To the boys, each room will offer two urinals and one toilet, along with two sinks. The girls, on the other hand, may choose from two seats on two levels, one too low and' the other too high, in addition to the traditional two sinks. These add up to a grand total of twelve toilets and eight urinals, not including the staff restroom in the basement. This is definitely a great improvement over the overcrowded facilities in the present library. In addition to the features outlined above, the new library will ·also offer ventilation, light (natural and artificcial) ,peace and quiet, elbow space, circuit breakers to play with (hundreds in each of three stairwells), heat, and control of it, and a view of the lobby (called tqe ''browsing area" in the trade) from all three floors, none of which could be found in the James library. In the past six months far too much emphasis has been placed on the question of what to do with the old library; instead the student body should face the issue of what to do with the new library. Now that we have a few of the pertinent details, a committee should be formed to discuss this matter, reporting its findings to the Student Senate in the fall. Only by this means can the maximum potential of this architectural gem be fully realized. The future of generations of Hamilton students rests in our hands; it is up to us whether those to come will be forced to vegetate among the newly-dusted volumes or will contimie the tradition of socialization in the stacks. We must honor our duty to meet the responsibility of preserving at least the spirit of our beloved main reading room.

Player's Perspective

BY CHIP DICKSON The Varsity Hockey squad has drawn the loyal support of a majority of Hamilton students for many years. Our best skaters have represented us well against well known, established institutions such as Middlebury, Williams and Bowdoin. ,_ However, an unheralded group of Hamilton athletes has.. begun drawing attention lately. After three years of undefeated play, the Junior V arsity hockey team is struggling for recognition as a full fledged inter-collegiate competitor. For those of you who have not made your way on an'early Saturday morning or late Friday night to see a J.V. game let me attempt to in the first period, keeping the But all was in vain, for at the final explain what you're missing.

Both teams waged a back and forth battle, with the lead changing hands one dozen times in the final te� minutes, only to find the Bluecoat Netmen finishing with their second set-back in as many games. The Union game was decided early when Hamilton's two leading rebounders fouled out: rookie center Jon Adams '75 in the first half; veteran forward Ernie Found '7 4 in the second half. The Continental . game plan to outmuscle the Dutchmen's All-American guard had backfired as he extended their lead to 30 points, scoring 41 himself from all over thee court. Hamilton's star guard, Mark Badger '75, played another solid game, leading the team with 25 points. Freshman forward Doug Wright came off the bench for the second time this year to tally over _ twenty. Unfortunately his Monday night total pf 24 po :nts was of no avail this time.

Entertainment Committee Changes Plans For Spring Party Weekelld BY ROBERT J. KEREN In a me�ting of the Student Entertainment Committee last night, it was decided that the College would add the resources from the cancelled Byrds concert of February 19th to the designated amount for the Spring Concert and begin negoti�tions for the Grateful Dead to appear here on April 21 or 22. The pooled SEC budget would total $10,750 ($9,500 for the group and an estimated $1,250 for expenses), but Independent Paul Com m i t t e e man Weichselbaum '74 considered our chances of obtaining the Dead "doubtful." He commented, · "Yes, I'd love to see them here, but I think they'll be getting too much money for us. If they're asking $10,000, then we can have them, but if its $12,000 I don't think we can cut it." Mohawk Valley Coiµmunity College is reported to have signed with the Dead for April 15th, in a closed concert for MVCC students only. Since the Dead are on tour--they will also be in N.Y .C. for 6 sold-out performances during Easter vacation--and seem to be willing to travel to the Utica area then the SEC considered ' that trying to cb�tract the Dead would be a worthwhile, and hopefully not frustrating, effort. If the Grateful Dead are unavailable or out of our budget's price range, the SEC plans to split the combined $9,500 budget and have two performances: one "soft concert" on Friday night and a "hockey rink-beer type band" on Saturday night. The Committee has set group priorities for both nights, and plans to contact _groups if the Dead faJl through. The Friday night list reads, in order of preference: Tom_ Rush, The Y oungbloods, Kristofferson and Fairport Convention. If those four will not be available, the SEC Rita contacting co nsidered Coolidge, America or Seals and Croft.

Charter C lass Plans Future; Graduate Schools Receptive

BY DAPHNE PETRI Most seniors leaving Kirkland are.• not being hampered in the pursuit of their professional or career goals either by the College's system of evaluation or by its stan ding as a candidate for accreditation. There is reason to believe that the final returns from graduate schools will reveal a very substantial and important showing for the firstt class to complete the four-year .program at Kirkland. Approximately 116 women will be graduating from Kirkland in May. Of the 75 who were recently interviewed or whose plans are on file with the Dean of Students, 44 are applying to graduate and professional schools and of those 10 have already been accepted to- the school of their choice, 14 are pursuing career goals which do not require graduate training at this point, 3 are taking a year off and intend to apply to graduate school next year and 14 either have no plans at this time or are applying to jobs which-do ·not relate to their goals or have no career goals. Looking first at the group who are pursuing careers directly from Kirkland the range is quite broad: one student has secured a teaching job at the elementary level, another will be an apprentice to a

book binder; three students are applying for teadiing jobs at the secondary level in social studies, history and dance; one woman has applied to the executive training programs of firms, businesses and banks in New York City; three are applying for jobs in college admissions; one is applying· for jobs in the Children's Book of Department publishing comp anies and book stores; one is applying for jobs acting in TV commercials and soap operas; and several others are seeking jobs abroad. Those schools requesting have been grades neither signific antly large in number nor consistently of university size. The p r o fessio nal schools law) an d (medicine and Mathematics have tended to request grades most frequently. Graduate school applications are in the following fields: Asian Studies, American St udies, A�t hr op ology, Architecture, Clinical Psychology, Elementary Education, Oceanography, Urb an Car e P la n n i n g , Health Administration, Religion, Library Science, Nursing, Math and Forestry; two are applying to law school, and two each in biology, c e r amics and pub1ic communications an d journalism;

three are applying to medical schools; four in different areas of literature and four also to divinity schools. Transcripts with evaluations have been· accepted for all of the fields above except medicine, biology and :piath. Evaluations are being accepted by many of the larger universities and the more demanding programs at MIT, Harvard, Cornell, Yale, Albany, Syracuse, City University of New York, Michigan , Tufts, Princeton, University of Rochester, and twenty-two other institutions. To date women submitting evaluations have been accepted to the following schools in the f ollowing fields: Boston University School of Public Syracuse _Comm uni cations , University in Communications an d Journalism, Lesley and Wheelock Colleges in Education, Case Western Reserve·and Rutgers in Library Science, Cornell Nursing School, University of in Salzburg German and Literature, Brown in Literature, and Princeton University in Psychology. Students have been accepted having submitted grades to NYU in Urban Planning, North Western in the Masters of Arts and Teaching program and University of Pittsburgh, Albany and NYU Med Schoo .

REFERENDUM

MIDDLE EAST

To the Editor: The Hamilton Student Senate is a very isolated organization. During this past week the student body pushed the Senate even further away. People voted in the referendum as if it were a fraternity-independent issue. It was not a fraternity-independent issue, and those who _saw it as one contrived it to be so. The major question at hand is the isolation of the Senate. It is unfortunate that support came for what it is not, rather than for what it is. The Hamilton . Spectator · represented �he amendment as a great stride f or "one-man, one-vo t e". Alth o ugh by coincidence the representation; would come close to what that _.principle .·would dictate, the struct ure t he new · of representation is totally u nrelated to the principle of "one-man: one-vote." The structure of the new .representation is related not to po pulation o r even class size, but rather to the class itself. This. year there is a difference of about 45 peo ple between the size of the freshman class and the senior class. At the beginning of this academic year, every 5 2 peo ple merited an extra representative. T.he t he of s t r u ct ur e representatio n was · cl oser to one-man: one-vote before the referendum than after it. Even t hough there were 10 independent, 10 fraternity, and 3 freshman representatives 9n the Senate this year, the independents felt the fraternities exerted too much influence. The only possible explanation for this could be that the fraternity representatives were m ore organized · than the independent representatives. The fraternity representatives had constitu encies to who m they were responsible and with whom they met once each week. The independent representatives act as · . free agents, is olated from any sort of constituency directi on. The Senate is suffering gravely fr om its .isolation. What we must look for are responsible (and responsive)· constituency u nits. Fraternities , provide , t h a t to t h eir representatives. I agree that the. fraternity representation might be • outdated and that a new system is requir e d . Fraternities qua fraternities are not a useful basis for representation, but fraternities qua responsible constituency u nits are useful. A system of residential represenntatio n might be just as use ful qua repqnsible c onstituency units. Rather than to raise all the representatives to equal the q uality an d efficiency of fraternity representation, the student b ody has voted to lo wer all of the representatives t o the isolated status of the current independent representation. The president of the Student Senate is against residential represe ntation because of the the unequal capacities of residences. I s ubmit that he suffers from the same problem due to differences in class size. Residential unit representati on is only one po ssibility that would main t a in responsible s t ill constituency units. Only . half the school v oted in the referendum. I w onder ho w

Sirs: Three letters appeared in the Spectator of 25 February in response to Mr. J. K. Hage's review of the address on the Palestinian question· given by Egypt's Press Counselor at the United Nations, Mr. Mahmoud Amr. In the two letters which one co uld take seriously a couple of points were made worth considering: 1) it was alleged that Mr. Hage did not accurately report what was said by Mr. Amr, and 2) it was regretted that tho se symp_athetic to the Arab position should revert to the same tactics as those they accuse the U. S. press of employing. In reply to these letters and in respo nse to Mr. Hage's review there are a couple of po ints which I should like to make. · Abba A m r --like Mr. Eban--is the paid representative of his g overnment. N o reasonable member of the audience .expected him to be anything other than an eloq uent spokesman for the government he represents. His talk· was factual and carefully do cumented. That he chose to concentrate on those facts which helped make his point . was entirely in keeping with the purp ose of his talk and the duties of his j ob and sho uld have surprised no one. Indeed, his talk was distinguished by remarkable restraint. What needs emphasizing, however, is that while no one is under any illusio ns about the n ature of political pro pagan da, not all pro paganda is o penly disseminated through a public relations officer such as Mr. Amr. Most of the pro paganda intended to influ ence pu blic opinion on the Middle East comes t o us disguised as "objective" repo rtage, whether. in the press or on radi o and televisio n. Because these s o-called "news media" reflect the political views not only of their owners b u t --more importantly--of their advertisers, we are t old as much or as little as these meil wish u s to know. In this respect . Mr. R obert Budoff's letter was full of unintentional ir ony. Mr. Hate's views appeared in a signed. Rage's' and--unlike the '-'news" columns of, say, the New York Times-did not pretend to be anything other than one man's resp on se. H ow nice it would be if all pro paganda were s o candidly presented as public relations and all opinion on the news appeared in signed articles. Rand Carter

l(uentz Orchestra of Paris Perfonns_ With College Choir

Joy O f LI• fe capture

BY RICHAK.U A. KAVESH The Paul Kuentz Orchestra of Paris, returning to Hamilton for their· tenth consecutive year, a performed of succession orchestral and choral concerts on the Hill las t week. The mainly orchestral, concert on the evening of Thursday the 24th was an unqualified success, and featured. some of the finest performance of classical music heard on the Hill in years; on the other hand, the Choir European Tour Benefit Concert of last _Sunday, featuring the Hamilton, Kirkland, and Chatham Choirs, was decidedly not up to these groups' high standards of excellence. The , work, J .S. Bach s featured Magnifi"cat, suffered from faulty musicianship fron;i both the and rather orchestra the tired-sounding choirs. On the evening of Thursday the 24th, the orchestra performed works primarily from the Baroque but its era, demonstrated v e r sa t ility by masterfully perform ing a 20th century work, as well as two encores. The program began with the Concerto - Grosso in � by George Friedrich Handel (1685-1759). Written in 1736, the work is for its skill ful notable counterpoint, majestic melodies, and vigorous rhythms. It makes no pretensions of depth, but h as remained popular for the above-mentioned reasons. The Kuentz Orchestra gave a fine p erformance; the tutti-solo relationships were never strained or competitive, but always the blended together, and orchestral texture was never turgid, it was clear even in the loud tutti sections.

The Kirkland Art Center contains them, warily, gingerly, a strange crew for a building so forthrightly dedicated (at least when it was originally conceived and anchored on the Rock of the Lord) to maintaining the rectitude of Clinton and Clintoni people. Yet they represent not a revolt against or a rejection of stark, snowy," hard edged reality, but more of an addition ·10 that reality, a kind of neogenesis. They (they? these?) are plunging be asts of glowing glaze, mirrored glazes squiggling outt of belegged and domed forms. Slim shafts of glass electrically touching from far apart, all moving and plastically flowing clay. The excitement of the earlier work at the Faculty Show in the Root Art Center was that of foreplay. The strength of these pieces lies in their relation to each other as they pulsate and move, combining their unlike elements. The favorite piece is a pale green flowing form with a powerful feeling of forward movement. The feeling of plastic flow and movement is central to the creatipn of ceramic objects. The addition of a radically diverse element, blown and worked glass, is fraught with the problem of the convergence of two separate "Would you like to .enjoy a simple natural food dinner of organically grown grains and vegetables cooked with. spring water'!

thoughts and processes. Yet, as with the abstract elements of luster glazes and flocking, the glass is essentially a part of the whole, a vital part of the tension andd movement surrounding the object things. The combination of the delicate films of metallic lusters with the powerful explosive raku technique gives an added diversity of coloration and character. Art is merely the perception of the philosophic view of reality held by whoever creates that bit of art. It is perhaps in the vein that all creation s4ould be reviewed. To that end we should be recipients of the artist father as he sees the world through his creation. The life and movement of the pieces in the show well represent thhe vitality of Bob Palusky's outlook and the bright metallic glazes and velveta flocking could be the veneer we settle over the sheer power and joy of life. In this way the show is a positive and life filled declaration of belief in the stronger pieces ·and a wry comment on the inanities of modern existence in the more static pieces. The show as a whole represents the self-discovery of one of the Hill's most vitally active artists. It ·should stand as the first wail of a new born stream of creation.

In the difficult Bach cantata, Mme. Shlick handled the taxing high sixteenth notes, the lower trills, and many other difficult pas sages with conswnmate skill. Her voke, in addition to the afore-mentioned attributes, is extremely powerful and strong. It had to be so to rival Mr. Dion's trumpet playing. The 'Baroque trumpet is one of the most difficult instruments to play, requiring immense pressure to reach most of the notes in the range most commohly writtep for it. Mr. Dion plays the instrument superbly, with a bright, crisp tone. Although he, Mme. Shlick, and the orchestra all contributed to give an extremely joyous and lively performence of the Cantata, it was Dion who stole the show. Mr. Dion and the orchestra then performed the Concerto in D for Trumpet and Orchestra by George P hillip Teemann (161H-1767). The is work extremely difficµlt for the soloist, but Mr. Dion performed perfectly, playing delicately- a rare quality for a trumpeter- in the beautiful slow first movement, and easily meeting the virtuoso requirements of the reSt of the work. The final scheduled work, the S infonietta for String Orchestra by Albert Roussel (1869-1937), vastly differed from the others in style and temperament. A work of no great originality, its dominant features were boring relentless rhythm in the first movement, a pompously contrived second movement, a buoyant last movement, and shifting tonalities throughout. The precision of Mr. Kuentz' conducting and the technical skill of the performers, particularly the celli, succeeded in

holding the piece together. After an encore of the 1st movement of Mozart's Eine Klei"ne Nachtmusi"k and a French fanfare for trumpet and orchestra, the orchestra and soloists received a well-deserved standing ovation. It was truly an outstanding concert. The quality of last Sunday's concert was not nearly as high, though it began extremely well. The Chatham College Choir, one of the best women's choirs in the East, began the concert by singing six Medieval Italian songs, the Congitemini domini", and the_ Alleluia by Orlando di Lasso. In all of these beautiful peices, the choir performed excellently. Their conductor, Lorenzo Malfatti, balanced the vojces so that the choir produced a smooth, even, never-forced sound. The Kuentz Orchestra then perform ed Alessandro Scarlatti's Cantata for Trumpet, Soprano, and Orchestra. As a piece of music this cantata is nowhere near the Bach cantata performed at the Thursday concert. Consisting of linked by dull dull arias recitatives, the piece got the treatment it deserved. Neither Mr. Dion or the orchestra were as inspiring as they had been at the other concert. Dion was not as smooth as he might have been, and the orchestral tone was rough in parts. The next two pieces, Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus and Regi"n a Coeli were the highlight of the_ concert, and were perform ed by the Hamilton and Kirkland Choirs. In contrast to the previous stuffy Scarlatti piece, Mozart's Ave Verum is one of the most sublime · pieces of music ever written. lt was ocmposed while I Mozart was busy with his Requiem and The Magic Flute, and reflects the solemn beauty of both these works. The Kirkland Choir is not yet as good as the Chatham Choir, but the progress they have made in just a few years is amazing-. The choirs performed the Ave Veru� romantically and beautifully., producing a rich, full sound, even though the basses were a bit too loud. This minor flaw did not detract from an otherwise superb performance. The Regina Coeli, written when Mozart was only 23, is not on the musical level of the Ave Verum�, but again, the performance was excellent. When the Hamilton Choir returned with the Chatham Choir for the program's featured work, Bach's Magnificat, the program went down hill. Bach's glorious was introduction orchestral performed disastrously. The three trumpeters not only seemed to have an aversion to hitting the right notes, but were blaring loud and obscured the orchestra.

From then on, especially in the G l o r ia , the c o n c l uding performance was magnificent. Several members of the choir and orchestra later explained that their pei:formances had suffered because of a grueling weekend of rehearsals, recording sissions, and drinking. As a result, everyone sounded rather tired during the Magnificat. It was a shame that a weekend of such great music had to end on a disappointing note, but if all goes well, the orchestra and choirs will tour Europe this summer and be back here to prove themselves again next year.

In a personal interview Dean Tolles spoke of his future plans and reflected on his quarter-century experience as Dean at Hamilton. After his retirement from Hamilton College, Dean Tolles and his wife will move to Delaware, where Mr. "Tolles will assume the position of Assistant to the President of Delaware Valley College. Dean Tolles is not certain what his specific duties will be, although. they will be similar to his administrative duties at Hamilton. Dean Tolles has been associated with Delaware Valley College in a consulting capacity since about 1960. his Besides administrative duties, Dean Tolles plans to teach courses in English. He has a Doctorate in English and taught at before H a m i lton assuming administrative duties in 1946. Dean and Mrs. Tolles currently own a home in Utica, and as t�eir plans now stand they plan to settle in Utica upon retirement. No specific period of time has been attached to the Dean's appointment at Delaware Valley College so they don't know how long they will be away from the area. When asked his first thoughts about his twenty-five years as Dean, Winton Tolles stat.ed, "Basically, it has been a challenging experience. Of course, there have been days I've wished I was in the Antarctic, but I have found it a pleasant and rewarding experience."

When asked if he had seen any great changes in Hamilton over the past twenty five years, Dean Tolles said, "Basically, I think the college has in no way changed. It has remained what it has been since almost the beginning- a college in a small residential setting concerned with the liberal arts for highly qualified students. I think, and I. think very much, that one of the great strengths of Hamilton has been its refusal to be turned off to what might be called tangential areas. We have not gone into graduate study, for example. We have not set up extension centers. I think with resources re latively limited Hamilton has been very wise to keep its eye on the ball, so to say, with a single purpose." Dean Tolles also commented on the changes in Hamilton students over the years. ''The student in my humble judgement­ I don't suppose everybody would agree with me - have really not changed over the years, except perhaps as college , students everywhere have changed." · ''The College student, at the present moment at least, is more serious, more socially · concerned, than he was 10 or 15 years ago. That, however, is not something associated particularly with Hamilton. He· is changed in that he_ comes up much better prepared and knowing much more than his counterpart of a quarter century ago. But that again is not a particul� phenomenon for a Hamilton College student. This is true of the secondary and college student everywhere." "This is an important change but not a basic change. The

Hamilton student is basically the same as lie was when I was an undergraduate, except that he is probably more serious and just knows more than he did then." The Dean gave the following response .when asked about the major challenges of his career as Dean, "I think the greatest challenges have been recent and concerned with revised curriculum and the challenge of getting the most possible on all fronts of coordination with Kirkland." Speaking more specifically about the revised curriculum, Dean Tolles stated, "We have for the past fifteen years tried to inject a greater amount of independence on the part of the students. Independent Study is a challenge to get going and to stay on the right track." Speaking further, Dean Tolles injected,"I think you could say every day is a challenge; students are always challenges."

Certainly one of the greatest changes during the Dean's tenure When Tolles was asked, about is the advent of a new coordinate his greatest successes and rewards, college, Kirkland.. On the subject he replied, "I think my greatest Dean Tolles commented, "I successes, if you want to use that personally very much wanted first word, and certainly the things I of all the coordinate college treasure most have been things complex to start, which I think is which I have been able to do with thor0t{ghly sound and over a long individual students.

Utica , R.PJ. Halt Hoopsters As Rebuilding Campaign Ends

BY JAMES MARCH Hamilton put the finishing touches on its second straight disappointing season by losing to Utica College Saturday and then RPI on Wednesday. These past two defeats closed their record at 4 wins and 16 losses, a three game improvement over last year's disaster. The team worked well together against Utica on Saturday collecting a total of 48 rebounds: Ernie Found, 14; Jon Adams, 11 before he fouled out; Craig Fallon, 10; guards Badger, Ogden, and Scott combined for 13. But it was not a good enough effort as Utica's big men managed to muscle in under the boards for 59 reeb_ees, allowing them to shoot the more outscore a nd Continentals 92-Sl. Coach Murphy's Recruits were playing solid defensive ball as they forced Utica into 16 turnovers, however, they failed to convert. With Adams out and Ogden fa foul trouble, the team tried to pick-up the pace but soon found that they could not outrun their opponents. When the full-court press failed and time ran out Hamilton had lost its third straight game. Quarterback Mark Badger '75 once again led the team scoring as he pumped in 12 of 26 releases, and 3 of 4 free throws for 2 7 points. Star forward Ernie Found '74 was held to 7 field goals as he had to contend with a strong defense, .-yet- .--he-- managed to accumulate a respectable 1 7 points. Herbie Ogden played his usual aggressive game and was able to score 16 points, while upcoming forward Doug Wright '75 shot an impressive 4 · of 7 from the floor and 2 for 2 from the freethrow line for 10 points. The loss left Hamilton with an 0-2 record against their local tjvals for this season. Wednesday night's game with RPI was an entirely different story. Not even the recent heat wave could help defrost the ice-cold Continental shooting. Murphy's frostbitten men hit on only 25% of their shots (18 for 72). It w� never a contest as the Engineers bucketed nearly half of their attempts and glided to an easy 92-52 victory. RPI was dominating the boards throughout the first half, and to make matters worse, leading Hamilton Ernie rebounder, Found, fouled out with 11: 29 remaining on the clock. From there on, the Engineers continued to widen the gap, snaring 63 rebounds to the Continental's 35.

Our erratic playing and their consistent smooth playing won it for theP Engineers. Doug Wright led the team with 14 points, netting 4 baskets and 6 of 9. freethrows. Wright forced 5 turnovers and turned in another fine performance. Ace ballhandler Mark Badger surprisingly lost the ball 6 times, but he did score 13 points in spite of it.

Hockey Team Nips Oswego St. and Amherst Season Finale is Disapointing ln,s to Williams·

BY MANNY SARGENT With four g ames in less than a week, Ham ilton's hockey team had its work cut out for them in th eir · attempts at finishing with <!500 record. Even though the Blue did not manage to win the necessary three of the four final gam es to end up even, their play throughout the last week was commendable. On a weekend swing to Massachusetts, the Blue played whip consistently enough to Amherst the first night, 4-1. The following afternoon they returned to Amherst College's Orr Rink to battle one of the Division ·11 powerhouses: the University of Massachusetts. Hamilton played well enough normally to win, but were overcome in the third perioq and lost by a close 3-1. The season ended at home ·with games against Oswego State �d Willi ams College. A thrilling 4-3 overtime victory over the Oswego · Lakers brought Hamilton's record to eight wins and eight defeats, plus one earlier 2-2 tie with Williams. This past Wednesday's encounter with th e Ephmen was a ·f i na l e disa·p po i n t i ng for season. 1971-72 Hamilton's Williams was able to hold on _to a one goal lead for the third period and to win 3-2. Amherst provided a _warm-up for U. of Mass. Breaking into the lead early allowed the Blue the chance to play defensively and thereby coast to a 4-1 victory. The visitors jumped out to a 2-0 lead on first period tallies by Bob O'Connor '72 and Junior Doug Janes. The score was doubled after 40 minutes on goals by David Gillmore, '75 and again by Doug Janes. Some idea of the control flam ilton was enjoying can be found in the fact that over the first two periods, they outshot Amherst, 32-11.

Just recently a poll was taken as to whether Coed Jungle Hockey is feasible and surprisingly enough most guys were in favor of it. Many of the players are of the opinion that as long as she has a helmet, a girl is welcome to ·play at. her own risk. Personally, I wouldn't dispute popular opinion on the subject, however, I'd warn future players to watch out for body checking. Some of the highlights of this season include the appearance of the famous author and alumnus John Nichols, one-time captain of the Hamilton Continentals. His cries of "center it, center it" w:ere a familiar sound, · heard throughout the Winter Study period, when Jungle Hockey was at its peak. Jungle Fever is spreading like crazy. There are reports that a new fifty thousand dollar rink is planned for construction, in Deansboro, for the sole purpose of Jungle Marathons. Prospects for H am ilton entering the .playoffs are good and the Darks seem to be the leading contender for the Jungle Ch ampionship. Rumor has it that the school will be doing some heavy recruiting for the class of '76, as next year's losses may be considerable. On second thought, they m�y not be. At any rate, the number of players is definitely on the increase. One veteran player remembers the times when you had to con some sucker into playing goalie. Now there are at least three or four suckers found suiting up in the goalie · attire before a game. The future of Jungle Hockey is quite promising. As the sport gains popularity it becomes more complex.

Chi Psi conducted its rushing outside the authority of the IFC and the Student Senate. After November 20, freshmen received verbal bids, which did not become binding on the freshmen until he paid his first bill. Former Chi Psi president Doug Crowell '72 felt that this procedure was especially helpful to the freshmen. Several members of Chi Psi further commented that the house's secession from IFC membership had only beneficial effects on their rushing efforts.

SCACA Proposes • Changes in, Policies

The, final s t a t e m e n t , a compr omise based on two alternate proposals, represents Kirkland's effort to deal with the p resent conflict between the school's belief in the educational desirability of small classes taught in the seminar manner and the student population that has burgeoned in three years. To insure that a Kirkland student is able to enjoy a fair distribution of such small classes throughout her total educational program, the proposal provided that most clsses shall be limited to 20 students. Class size shall be determined by t h e professor, with the reservation that descriptions of courses whose limit varies from the norm of 20, accompanied by a s tatement of the instructor'� reasons for the variation, must be submitted to SCACA for review. Classes with open enrollment or with limitations above 20 may be offered, the proposal states, ''to explore educationally effective ways to handle large numbers of students, to respond to temporary enrollment pre�c;ures, or to fulfill c oo r d inate . obligaticns." With courses with registration of five or less, the instructor has the option of offering or dropping the course. or of conducting it as a group independent study. Descriptions of courses in the college catalog a1e now to include class size, in addition to a statement of the content, aims, teaching methods, and basis of the final evaluation. The Statement on Class Size, approved by SCACA March 8, will come for a vote before \he Assembly March 13. If approved by the Assembly, the proposal will be enacted for the upcoming fall semester.

THE SPECTATOR

Debaters Second to Iona in Field of 75 At Montreal

The Hamilton College Debate T e a m a stounded many rival debaters with their spectacular second-place finish in a recent international debate at Montreal. The two-man team of Bob Rooney '73, and Howie Talenfeld '74, made it all the way to the finals where they were narrowly defeated by Iona College in a closely contested battle. The highly-diversified field of 75 teams included debaters from · all over the United States and Canada, including representatives from schools as far away as Alaska, California, and British Columbia. A few of the schools present were Harvard, Purdue, Princeton, and the University of Chicago. McGill University was the host school. Surprisingly, the upset victor of the tournament was a small, relatively unknown school from outside New York City- Iona College. P os s i b l y, but not probably, a few of the defeated debaters were mindful of the i rony o f S a m uel Johnson's statement in his Journey to the Western Island$ ."That man is. little to be envied ... whose piety would not grow warmer among the ruins of Iona." T h e a c h i e vement of the Hamilton Debate team is more outstanding when it is noted that most of the schools at the debate were operating on yearly budgets of $5,000 to $15,000, while Harvard is reputed to have an overall debate budget of $20,000. H a m ilton's debate budget is presentlyonly $1000. Hamilton also sent two _other teams to Montreal: the team of Laverne Comet '74 and Vince DiCarlo '75, and the team of Bill Song '74 and Judy Crown '74. Members of the debate club who did not make the trip include Louis Levenson '74 and Mike Bordy '74. The rules of parliamentary debate were followed in this tournament. Parliamentary debate includes five rounds for each team, two on the prepared topic and three on extemporaneous topics. The prepared topic was: "Force is the midwife of every old society pregnant with a new one." Each team gets a chance to debate both sides of- the issue in a somewhat serious fashion. The f o r m a t is � minutes of constructive speech, followed by 3 minutes of cross-questioning, and 4, minutes of rebuttal. o n d e b a t e s T h e extemporaneous topics are much wilder and less structured, the emphasis being on, imagination, c r e a t i v ity, wit, and stylistic pr esentation. Alt hough the

arguments are often based on the absurd, they must have their own internal logic. A sample topic is "A man without a God is like a bird without a bicycle." Debating on another topic, "You cannot have a revolution without general copulation," Bill Song described how he ripped off some of his opponent's clothes to use as e v i d e n c e s u p p o r ti ng h i s arguments. T h e t o u r n a m ent b egan Thursday night with a Pub Debate in which McGill and Emerson engaged in a lewd, debauched, and

eminently gross oratorical display. On Friday there were three rounds of debate and on Saturday there were two reounds followed by the finals. Iona and Hamilton debated the prepared topics in an assembly attended by all the debaters. Bob Rooney summed up ·the attitude of the entire team Wlen he said ''We are trying to expand the debate team's activities and t h e f unds which would be allocated to the debate teams. We hope for an increase in student participation in 1972-73.

Professor William A. Jamison announced to the Kirkland Assembly Monday the proposed format of the application for accreditation, to be submitted to Commission on Higher the Education of the Middle States Association this spring. As coordinator of application procedures, Mr. Jamison indicated that the application would take the form of a "straightforward report," consisting of regulations and descriptions of legislation and fundamental operations of the college, together with a series of "evaluative statements" of the college. At present, Kirkland students recruited to work on accreditation are procedures inte:rviewing students and teachers at random to. record their opinions on Kirkland in order to "smoke out the issues," Jamison said. Issues which are basic to this opinion survey will be summarized in a questionnaire to be distributed to the entire Kirkland community. The questionnaire will be issued· after spring vacation. Jamison said that, the results from this questionnaire will determine the evaluative statements which will appear in the report to the Middle States Association. The format is a compromise between the two possible kinds of reports which can be submitted to attain • accreditation. One type consists of a kind of cataloguing of courses, legislation, objectives and aims of the institution, while the other is a complete self-evaluation of the· ·college, which he said was ''beyond the

college's strength�' to undertake. Although he expressed a belief that circulating a draft of the entire report to the college community prior to its submission to the association would be desirable, Jamison stated that the time factor involved may make this prior circulation impossible. Kirkland College has been a Recognized Candidate for Accreditation by the Commission on Higher Education . of the Middle States Association since 1969 and is not eligible for accreditation until it graduates its _first class this May. Representatives of the association, who are faculty and administrators from other colleges and universities in the Middle States area, visit a recognized candidate school each year, making suggestions and checking the college's progress in view of that college's professed aims. New colleges are judged and evaluated according to their ability to carry out these aims and not by some arbitrary standards. The committee's· visit in October will determine whether Kirkland receives accreditation. This evaluating group will consist of six to eight persons who will he made known to the college - in September. The assocation can designate for a candidate school one of four statuses: complete accreditation, accreditation with the recommendation that certain requirements are fulfilled within a the period, certain time withholding of accreditation until such requirement$ are fulfilled or complete denial of accreditation.

WORKING CLASS To the Editor: Splits between the Working Class and the Elite: How YOU are involved: I work _in the kitchen washing dishes and collecting trays. I get angry at you who leave your trays on the table. You are making extra work for me, you are taking advantage of my services as if I were your slave. I notice certain people who leave their trays and I begin to generalize and create prejudices. Couldn't this be the beginning of more racism and sexism? I realize that my generalizations are wrong, but how do I get rid of them? Can I ask you to be aware of how you oppress the working people? Unless you can be aware, (myself also) and help to repair these divisions then the change people

are crying for in our society will never happen. I think everyone has to do his best to make situations easier for his fellow man. Uere�s a list of things you can do: 1. Bring your trays to the window or the racks. 2. Make a 'yes' tray. ('i:hrow away paper napkins, etc.) 3. Pick u p litter off the streets. 4. Pick up the trash your dogs spread all over. 5. Leave bathrooms cleaner. 6. Don't steal dishes from the cafeteria. (This can lead to pollution, because (hey use plastic dishes.) 7. Respect all occupations. �- Don't crowd around the person stuffing mailboxes. 9. Talk to people working and ask how you can help them. Thank you, Do tty Uraneck

LETTERS To Certain Students: I have been very dismayed lately to see a personalwwar going on between several students at the expense of the Spectator. Letters to the Spectator should be ones that contain comments pertinent to campus, local, or international problems, not personal grievances. If one doesn't agree with another student's political views, one should refute his views, not defame his character. If you don't like J.K. Rage's views, tell us why. If you don't like J.K. Hage, tell him personally. Steve Flores '74

m e r e l y s u pp o r t i n g t h e amendment. Un d e!]-i a b l y , t h e n e w a· mendment is a good one. It will definitely equalize. and stabilize representation on the Senate. There is no doubt, however, that it was passed unconstitutionally and upheld unjustly by the Senate. The problem is not, as Jerry Ryan pointed out, in f::he interpretation of the Constitution. The basic problem lies in whether or not the Constitution is still e f f e c t i v e. I f t h e S e n a t e continually disregards i t (and the present Senate insists on doing so), the Constitution must be changed. H it is to remain intact, it must be strictly obeyed. Sincerely, John B. Williams '74

HAIR To the Editor: One Friday I walked into Stan's Coffee Shop in Clinton. After waiting for service for a few minutes while the management sat unmoving at a back booth in the. shop I decided to walk out. As I walked out the door a Clinton v i l la g e r e n t e r ed a n d w a s immediately served. I suspected that my shoulder length hair was the <:ause of my ill treatment, as l o bser ved various short�aired persons served in the store during the next few minutes. Conferring with a student from Kirkland College who was previously a resident of Clinton, she told me of t h e s t o r e's poor treatment ( usually lack of service) for long-haired males. I urge � members of the Hamilton and Kirk.land College community to confirm my beliefs and if necessary to boycott Stan's Coffee Shop (next to Gorton's) until this policy is changed. Sincerely yoms, Jan S. Levenson

Lots of Friends live past the age of 26. It's an art-and it's also a state of mind that tells you that new thoughts to solve old problems can be very good, indeed. George F o x , w h o fo u n d ed t h e Quakers, pointed out that truth is continually being revealed. God didn't end the process 2,000 years ago.

Lots of young people are pretty square . . . when their minds are closed. Quakers, old and young, are apt to share exactly the same concern for peace, for civil rights,. for the joys and sick­ nesses of the society in which we live. It's no property of a certain age. Some of our young people are pretty groovy, too!

- Comment BY DAPHNE PETRI A Curricular Proposal stemming from observations and input from discussions at Uw Conference, February 6-7. Kirkland, as I suspect many or most other colleges are, is in the throes of privacy without community, individual mquiry, evaluation, determination and action w i t h.o ut collective inquiry, evaluation, determination and actions, "innovative" education, and of trying to define itself dearly in order to move forward sharply. Kirkland is an established educational institution harboring primarily · middle anc!· upper-middle class Eastern-oriented Americans. Kirkland wants to provide maximum flexibility and avenues for change without sacrificing the needs for stability. Kirkland people tend to consider Kirkland as some place · entirely divorced from, unrelated to and unlike the "real world." The life style and environment of Kirkland reflect, reinforce and foster some very cl ear values, expectations· and conditions. I take group s,and individual inquiry,_ evaluation, determination and action to be necessary learning experiences of.. a Liberal Arts College. Kirkland has always placed its main emphasis on personal autonomy. Social chang'e, at any level, can only happen if one understands all the variables of the system one is trying to change. Kirkland must accept the challenge and .responsibility of knowingp itself inside and out if anything innovative is to be done well here. Kirkland must understand itself as a real system t!_>.at operates not di(ferently or divorced from the many interacting ''°eal" ssystems in the ''°cal world." I am proposing the development of a total immersion course called Kirkland as a Prototype. It would be a program elected by a group of students who would constitute a research team committed to a close, systematic, interdisciplinary analysis of Kirkland as a prototype of a societal system. As I see it, students would have to elect this program as their entire load for a semester and thus would receive a full semester credit for it. They would be engaged in individual, small group and total group research and study projects. For these two reasons the program might most effectively be an upper level elective for people engaged in Eduation, Sociology, , Government or American Studies. In the program -there would be six "units" of study. These might be given, in the conventional sense if faculty were available, or they might be a unit of gr oup-independent supervised research. Briefly the six units appear as follows: Educatt"on: concerning itself with a wide · range of educational problems as they p r e sent themsel�es at Kirkland; the relationship between ideological claims and classroom actualities now and historically, between teaching and learning and between how we're taught and what we're taught, and further students might concern themselves with a study of such things as coordination or administration. Sociology: primarily research and analysis this unit would study the faculty,

I see t4,e results of this study, which_ would be completely documented at the end of the semester, as extremely significant for the institution and fo! the s t u d e n t s a n d f aculty i nvolved. Institutionally it would result in a working understanding of the college, · it would speak to every member of this community of the reality of the system in which they are living and working and it would help the college to make sensible, practical, sensitive and gratifyi ng d ecisions concerning all aspects of the shape and direction of the college based on concrete knowledge. For each student electing the program it would have some hard-beaded -pedagogicall results; students would learn how to work on a collective research project, they would learn the skills of research and research analysis and they would learn what it takes to come to grips with an institutional system and the powerful i nt er action b etween· the psychological, educational, environmental, s�ciological, economic, governmental and historical elements of that system. I have chosen to write out this proposal in this way in thiss column for several reasons. Primarily because I am in the process of trying to interest students and faculty in the programs and I need to have it airedd publically. And secondarily, but importantly, I have chosen to air this proposal here because it seems to me that th�s is precisely the kind of "stuff" of which the Spectator should be full if it were really being used correctly. So, if you are an underclassman who might be interested in helping to plan or be in ·this program, or a faculty member who would be interested either in planning or in being a supervisor for some particular unit of research as your independent study load contact me soon. It is my hope that it can be incorporated into the curriculum for this coming fall. Comments, criticisms, volunteers welcome.

suggest s Change in ElectiOns BY LAURA TENNEY T h e K i r kland Assembly - approved Monday t wo a men d m e n t s to its Constitution. T h e a m endments, if approved by 2/3 of the faculty and student bodies, will change election dates and terms of office for the Assembly and its committees. The amendments, proposed by the By-Laws Committee, are aimed- towards greater efficiency and speed in. initiating Assembly activities at the beginning of the academic year. The legislation provides for two regular periods of election, nomination and appointment. Elections w i l l be conducted in September to fill any vacant positions in the Assembly and its committees. At this time nominations will be held for members of the Student Life Committee and Divisional Faculty members of SCACA. Appointments to the Committees on Admission, Winter Study and Financial Aid will be made in September. Elections for Asse:r'iibly and Steering Committee members will take place' in December. Assembly elections have b'een held in September and Steering Committee elections in mid-May. Those elected in December will take office at the beginning of the second semester in February.

SCACA and members of the Judiciary Board and appointment of the By-Laws, Funding of Student Activities and Joint Lectures Committees will also take place in December. At the Assembly meeting, Kirkland Instructor in Government John Bacheller explained that the By-Laws Committee had a rrived a t t hi s legislation through deliberation with the Steering Committee. It was felt that early December elections �with terms starting in February would alleviate two current difficulties. The new timing would eliminate the slowness in initiating ·the Steering Committee's "heavy burden of duties" in early fall, particularly their duty of supervising elections and nominations. The change would also end the difficulty of "intelligent voting" for Assembly members in the early weeks of the fall semester when new students and faculty are not known. In general, the amendments, by allowing for "greater fleXIOility in the timing of elections and terms of office" will allow the Assembly, the Steering Committee, and other necessary groups to start functioning at the beginning of the Fall semester. This will hopefully produce more continuity and flow of information from one term to the next.

Exciting Intramural Hockey Season Closes '• Def ending Champs A.D. Edge Psi-U 2-1 in Final

BY MANNY SARGENT Another Intramural hockey season had ended but not without a tense finish in which overtime­ play was needed to decide t�e . final three . games. Defending champions, Alph,a Delta Phi, made it two in a row with consecutive overtime victories over Dunham North and Psi Upsilon. The first round went as expected and the wins by AD, Psi U, Dunham North and by a strong Independent team set the stage for last week's two semifinal

games. The first one matched AD a g a i nst Dunham North. The Freshmen dissolved an early AD 2-0 lead with three quick goals in the second half. But a late tally. evened the score at three apiece and when furtherr scoring failed to appear, the contest was forced into O.T. Halfway through the first extra period, AD netted the g a m e w i n n e r . W i n ger Manny Sargent tapped an in-front pass f r-o m C hip D i c k s o n past netminder Phil Halpern to seal a spot in the rmals.

In an exciting tilt between Psi Upsilon ,and the Independents, eight overtime periods elapsed before the 4-4 deadlock was broken. The Indys enjoyed a fine regular season and had to be c o n s i d e r e d t he most likely candidate to win the playoffs. Overtime came unexpectedly for the Indys and they may have been looking towards the finals when Psi U. tallied the game's ninth goal. Although the 5-4 victory guaranteed Psi U. the final playoff slot, the win proved to be costly.

Wlv Says Hockey Plnyers Have All the Frm?

An ankle injury wouldr shelve their v a l u a b l e s ka t er, Nat Follansbee, for the final AD game. In · the championship game, Rick Waters' 15-footer put AD on top early, 1-0. The score remained at one-zip as both teams entered the second half. As the game neared completion the leaders played defensively in an attempt to prevent Psi U from tying it up. With time running out, Richard Braverman '74 collared a loose puck off an •offensive faceoff and flipped it past AD's seasoned

netminder Bob Rosenbaum. The score remained tied at 1-1 for the remainder of regulation time and both teams prepared for their second overtime in post season play. Less than 4 minutes had passed when Jim Kennedy potted the winning goal. After Psi U's goaltender, Jack Toukatly, had stopped a Chip Dickson s c o r i n g a t t e m.p t , the puck rebounded out towards the blue line. Playing defense; Kennedy skated in and let go a low shot that deflected off Toukatly's stick and into the net.

Captain Craig Fallon pressing in the backcourt

-Player's Perspective Editor's Note: Si xfoo4 two-inch sophomore Craz"g Fallon prw ed to be t h e u n i t ing for c e on t his season's predominantly fres.hman- stocked basketball team. Elected captain of the hoopsters at mid- seaso� Fallon's leadership and dri.J e was an w erriding factor in the squad's "second seilson" success. The rangy Utican who {l/) eraged just aver eight points per game and was secon.d in assists this year, captained his Notre Dame High. School team to a second-place ranking in the statt; and recev ed all league honors for his effort. Recurrent knee injuries put a damper on Fallon's athletic achitV ements during his freshman year, but the v ersatile southpaw already has his sights set for Sprin& as he hopes to fill the firsi-baseman slot vacated by Al D'Accurzio '71 on Tom Murphy's Nine.

BY CRAIG FALLON Much has been said concerning the coaches, facilities and other aspects of the athletic department--semingly in a derogatory tone. This, however, is not the point of my perspective. Four months was quit.e a long time. From November 1 to early March the basketball team really worked-�our objective of course was a winning season. But this year, in my mind, we had a more important task: the formation of a team. Before the basketball season, there seemed to be an increase in interest on behalf of the students. Throughout the year, attendance at the games was great; to this I wish to express our appreciation. I heard people comment on how exciting the team was to watch, how great it would be to have a winning season. Four and sixteen was far below their expectations and probably a disappointing year to many people. However, I think we succeeded in a different aspect. From a slew of freshmen, two sophomores, and a handful of upperclassmen we laid the foundation for a winning team in the future. It was tough in the beginning. It takes time to learn to play together and learn about one another; mistakes are bound to be made. As any· faithful fan will admit though, as the season moved on, we did play more together and actually had some good showings, even a victory here and there. Despite the record, we've come a long way and gained needed experience; our last three games were no indication of what the "team" is capable of producing. Our situation is sort of analagous to a relationship between two people. Initially they are very different, unsure of one another, making mistakes while trying to m1�e things better. They have their ups and downs, but ultimately really get to know one another. We've gone through this stage and next year we should reap the benefits of a pioneering experience. Criticizing from the outside looking in is easily justifiable. For those who have, I've offered this little insight to let you know the seaso1: wasn't all as disappointing as 4-16 would indicate. Winning is better than losing , I must admit, and for riext season? With hard work, some good frosh, and a repeated good effort by Coach Murphy I predict at least a .500 sea.,;on in '72-'73. if not better.

He will also have to tum to the alumni for assistance in recruiting-, so that our newly spirited coaches can then follow up and do an effective job" in convincing potential student athletes to attend Hamilton. Finally, our new Athletic Director will have to be able to relate to administration, faculty, students and alumni and be able' to get his ideas across, answer questions, solve the scheduling and budgeting problems, and have a tremendous enthusiasm in Hamilton College and her athletic programs. The job is not easy, but if we do find a qualified man who can handle this multifaceted position, I know that Hamil.ton College Athletics will progress rapidly and effectively in future years.

Food Committee Determines Three Food Plans Feasible

BY SUSAN STERNBERG _ Of the many proposals for food plans under consideration, only three are really feasible, reported Hamilton-Kirkland Food C o m m i tt e e C h a i r man Larry Sternberg, after recent meetings with Service Systems and College officials. Main factors in weeding out the possibilities are the "missed meal factor," and administrative and maintenance costs. The charge for the 19-meal plan is based on the cost of the 14 meals_ per week which most students actually eat. Students on· 10--or fewer-- meal plans save only on the additional meals they don't e a t , 1 e s s f i xed costs for administration and maintenance. The checklists, identification stick�rs, and checkers needed for each additional food plan cause an increase in administrative costs and in the resulting cost to the student. Although a greater choice in food plans is attractive from the point of view of students, the s i ze o f the s m a l l Hamilto n-Kirkland community limits the types of food plans that a r e f e a s i b l e . Those u nder consideration include the 19-meal plan, the 10-meal plan (breakfast dinner and/or lunch - dinner, on a wider · basis than is presently in practice), and a fee to get off the food plan. All other combinations (5 meal plan, 10 meaf plan with m e a l s u ns pecified, etc.) are unsuitable because administrative costs would make the cost only

Hol\Tever, each person in the room must _come to Buttrick at his assigned time and place his sticker in the space. Mr. Grout said that multiple occupancy rooms will be assigned only when filled.

If neither the student nor the agent ·show up at the time, the student's card will be put on the bottom of his class pile. A make-up drawing will be scheduled for those students. Since the student will be fairly certain of his room for next year after placing his name on the· chart, the new procedure will relieve the student of previous years' housing pressures during finals week.

The individual times of 1.54.5, 0.51.3, 3.09.8, and 4.17.0 respectively, were all personal bests. Competition consisted of teams from Florida State, Georgia Tech and other large Southern universities.

For a week before the meet the athletes had run double workouts on 'the roads and beaches of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. With them were Marc Peuron '72, and Lee Pollac!<. of St. Lawrence University. The preyious weekend, marathon runner Peuron had finished sixth in that event in the Florida Relays. Through most of the rainy week the sun was little more than a "bright promise", but the day of the relays both weather and track conditions were perfect. After months of Sage Rink cold, this taste of spring was· a strong

Still, the DKE machine kept on running. They hung close to their opponents, and late in the game J o e R e a g a n '7 3 cut t h e Independent lead t o two points. Nauseef led his team back and the Indys ran off seven straight points to ice the game. It was a crucial victory for the Independent ballplayers who have now caught up with the powerful and experienced DKE athletes in

their pursuit of the coveted I ntramural cup. The DKEs d e f eated the Indys for the football title this year, but with, the Indy hoopsters win, both teams have accumulated 25 points.. Psi U andd AD both, have 15 points. The winner of the cup for this year will not be decided' until the Swimming, Volleyball, I and Softball competitions have been completed.

Hamilton Is First On Russian Tour Schedule

BY GORDON KAYE Tuesday, April 18, Hamilton and Kirkland will host three college students from the _Soviet Union on the rrrst stop of their national tour of U.S. campuses. The visiting students will engage in public discussions with American students on the topic, "How Can the United States and the Soviet Union Work Together to Promote World Peace." The program at Hamilton will take place at 8 p.m. on Tuesday April 1 8 t h in .the Alumni Gymnasium. Stud ents from Hamilton and Kirkland will take part in the panel discussion. The moderator will be Mr. Warren Wright, associate 'professor of Speech at Hamilton. It is expected that the Soviet students will spend much of Tuesday .in informal contact with students and faculty here on Col lege Hill and try to get the feel of how the colleges function. T h e S o v iet Embassy in Washington identified the visiting

students as: L. P. Saakyan, First Secretary of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republican Youth O r g a n i z a t i o n , .V l a d i m a r Kautoradze of the Presidium of the Committee o f Youth Organization of the U.S.S.R., and Nicolai N. Mukhin, Secretary of t he Student Organization of Moscow State University. The discussion tour has created great interest and excitement. Both the U.S. State Department and the Soviet government have encouraged the visit. The· New York Times noted that this event may be an indication of increasing Soviet desire to strengthen ties with the United States.' The '{imes mentioned both Hamilton and Kirkland and noted that Hamilton is "a pioneering institution in public speaking." Both NBC and CBS television will be sending crews to cover the program, a reporter from the New York Times and other news services are expected to set up press rooms here.

There is general excitement on campus, also. As Professor Charles L . T o dd, who helped plan Tuesday's activities, noted, ''This is excellent people - to - people dipl omacy." The students will spend an informal day on College Hill. Announcement of where the visiting students wi11 speak has yet to be released. The tour, the first of its kind in Sovie t-A m erican relations, · is spons ored b y t h e. Speec h Communicatory Association, an i ntern ational organization of scholars and oth�r professi�nals in the communication arts. It will take the students to six other U.S. campuses, including University of M a r y l a n d , U n i versit y of Wisconsin, and California's Chico State College. H�ilton was chosen from among 250 colleges and universities for participation. The tour, planned for 1968, had been cancelled due to the Czechoslavakia uprising. Plans for it to develop in 1970 had also fallen through.

It has been roughly estimated tha t s o m e w her e b et w een 1,125,000 and 3,000,000 college men and 450,000 and 1,590,000 college women are in need of birth control services. When · Yale University was preparing for the entrance of its­ first women students in the fall of 1969, t he Department of University Health recognized the obvious and immediate need created by coeducation for realignment of the schoo l's health service to encompass such a service. Prior to this time, there was no obstetrician - gynecologist on the staff. Yet, whil e realizing this need for gynecological services, the department also was aware that many students in need of such provisions have remained unserved by college health centers. Desiring far more comprehensiveness and concern than is apparent in typical college gynecological care, the department appealed to Dr. Philip Sarrel, known for his particular

It would make the process a good deal easier if undergraduates would return to the Library the books they have out and have finished within the next week or two, rather than waiting until the end of the semester. SELF-SCHEDULING OF EXAMS Throughout this academic year, the topic of self-scheduled exams has been broached with the faculty with mixed results. While specific proposals have been discussed, a recurrent question has arisen, not unjustifiably on the part of some faculty members, whether in fact the student body even desires such a program. Therefore, at the discretion of the Curriculum Committee of the Student Senate, it is suggested that next TUESDAY, APRIL 18, an opinion poll be taken concerning this issue before further discussions of actual mechanics resume. I would like to conclude by issuing an appeal that students take special note of this poll and make the effort to return this form. The reason for this request, quite simply, is that in order for this poll to carry any influence, we must have a favorable response from the entire student body, not just a majority of those ballots returned. Without your interest and cooperation, the efforts of the Student Senate in structuring specific proposals will in all likelihood never even be seriously con�dered. Clyde M. Leff

THE SPECTATOR

The Housing Committee should be commended 6n the work it put into preparing· a new lottery system th.at was to provide a fairer, more open system for Hamilton students. Unfor�ately, the students themselves are to blame for the fraudulent use of the lottery. How can a College which claims to adhere to an honor system justify cheating of this sort? Students have shown themselves to be blatantly irresponsible. The corrupt act of a few students who are alledged to have offered large amounts of money for key rooms has jeopardized the rights of others. It is a sad comment on the community that even a system which is based on chance cannot he used without a firial split between

✓

the rich and poor. No one should be a�le to buy a room, just as no one should be able to sign up for a room when they do not legally have a right to. Students must realize that they have a responsibility to be honest. With the abolition of squatter's rights and the institution of the lottery system, the Housing Committee had hoped to create a system tha! would give students, by class, an equal opportunity to live in all rooms. The formation of coalitions among small gro�ps and payoffs has redqced the housing sysfem from a _fair lottery to a 'who you kno'Y and can make a deal with' sham� The Housing Committee actions, though a regrettable infringement on student rights, have been forced by the Hamitlon. students' selfish aban�on of trust and cooperation.

SELF-SCHEDULED EXAMS To the Editor: In this week's Spect a t or appears a notice concerning self-scheduled exams. If I may be ' -permitted the presupposition that the proposal is in fact going to be •favorably received, I should like to clarify the second paragraph of the article. I'm asking for every student to reply to the poll; there is more at issue than simple indicating a tendency of a few interested students. That is, if 500" people r e p l y a n d 80 % d e s i r e self-scheduled exams, we have only established that 400 people out of a student body of 950 in fact have supported the proposal. Quite clearly, in working with the faculty, we can not · m'ake . as strong a case for specific proposals that apply to less than 50% of the students. Therefore, if each i n d i v i d u a 1 t h a t w a n t_s self-scheduled exams does not indicate his device, it is to be assumed that we stand a lesser chance of attaining our goal. Therefore what I am asking is no less than if this poll does not receive a favorable response that constitutes more than 50% of the student body, as President of the Student Senate, my position will be severely compromised. Please indicate on Tuesday that this need not happen. Respectfully submitted,, Clyde M. Leff

"switching" are feeling the effects of l vengeful action on the part of the Housing Committee� Dropping these people to ,the J>.ottom of their class punishes them after the fact, an action condoned nowhere ip. our jurisprudence. Consider this: Not only '°"as there no rule or policy formulated anywhere to cope with a known q u�tity (re the .. "switching" practice) beforehand, but alsq the fact remains that Mr. Grout stated himself, in the initial housing availability notice, "As in. the past, any mutually agreed change o r exc h a ng e . of housing assignm ents is, approved in principle, subject to the proviso that they be brought to the attention of Mr. Grout as soon as p_ossibly." (My underlines) This as much as encourages the practice. If the housing lottery system of assignment is to work, it must be made an open lottery of all classes on an equal basis. Otherwise, people will continue devising foolproof ways of beating the whole system. Yours truly Thomas A. Thompson '73

SOCIAL TAX

To the Editor: As a concerned representative of the Student Entertainment Committee I would like _to plug the new social tax structure, which will go into effect next year for all Hamilton .and Kirkland �tudents. I believe that the new system will be a more equitable one for all students on the two campuses than the present system, as it will resolve several problems the SEC has encountered �i� the present system. HOUSING Several advantages of paying t h e n e w s ocial tax a r e To the Editor: The precipate action ,of the no'tewoithy. First of all, a s in the past, the tax is optional. Housing. Committe� ,i� cancellin� the h�using selection is ridiculous,. , ,Secondly, · the tax has been What is :happening so that those lowered to $25 for the entire freshmen who hoped to improve year.' By lowering the tax, we of their rooming accom6dations by. the SEC hope to stimulate a larger the l ong-practiced device of number of students to prchase it;

w e w a n t t o m a k� t he entertain ment o n th� · Hill available financially to more students. A further moderation in the social tax sti:ucture is that only social tax holders will be allowed free admiss�on, and not their dates. The dates will get in at a nominal fee, never to exceed one-third of the cost of the function to the ta::x holder. In other words, if $12 out of every $25 the SEC has been paid is being used for one particular function (if the SEC is spending almost half its budget for one function), than the fee for dates would be no more than $4. The reasons for this nominal charge for dates are twofold: 1 ) we want to prevent the so-called "rip-off factor," where, for i·nstance, some Kirkland students who had not paid the tax would find a single Hamilton student who had, and get in free with him, 2) more importantly, however, is the fact that many Hamilton and Kirkland students, who have both bought social tax, have wound up going to concerts and the coffeehouse together. Under the new system, one of the two would not have to pay the entire tax, but what only amounts to one-third of it. ,,,.. Now the disadvantages of not buying social tax. Gener_,1 admission tickets for non-holders will go on sale no sooner than fifteen minutes before show time (possibly less� depending on the size of the social tax-paying audiences). This will allow the social tax holders to bypass the tie· ups which inevitably occur at the ticket table when sales: are going on, and to get the best seats in the house. Furthermore, the general admission tickets themselves will · be-quite costly. The student who purchases a general admission ticket will -have to p.ay twice the percentage cost that the social tax holder will pay. Take an example.

-- Comment BY SUSAN COHEN

To The Members of the Kirkland/Hamilton Community: I disagree with those who say that academia must refrain from ideological or political committment; by its very nature academia fosters elitism. Finding ourselves immersed in this elitism, some people at Kirkland and Hamilton have been engaged in �<ideological catharsis, during recent montl).s. This group of people has its unity in what we titled a Marxist Study Group and has grown to entail . a degree of campus politics and discussion of student life, particularly in regard to Kirkland-Hamilton relations. This is the area in which I feel we can all do the most in the shortest amount of time and is one of the questions the Women's Center is trying to address. The conference on Kirkland: A Women's College in a Sexist Society, began to deal with the issue of the redistribution of those values traditionally labeled "male" or "female" in this society. Kirkland and Hamilton, as coordinated women's and men's colleges, have the opportunity to implement this redistribution through curricular and personal activities and so utilize our positions of academic· elitism to the political advantage of not only our community members but all the people we intera(:t with throughout our lives. "Emotional", "submissive", "intuitive", and "masochistic" are adjectives usually associated· wi!h women, while "objective", "domineering," "analytical," and "strong," ·are associated with men. Not until we have more than a few male dance majors and female bio-physics, hot until the stereotyped sex roles of a man's prowess and a woman's coyness are dissolved will the surfacing of all truly human traits be allowed in people ,regardless of their sex. I am not arguing for the ·wholesale release from bondage' of every hou�ewife (or businessman, for that matter) but I am saying that here and now we must begin to allow each other genuine choices regarding present behavior and future l�fe-style.

another idea of music of Germany aside from the drinking songs which many of us know. This section was concluded by the very beautiful Waldesnacht by Joannes Brahms. Under the very talented direction of Jurgen Jurgens, the choir maintained tremendous balance between the voices and within the varied dynamic ranges. The diction was excellent, so much so that one might think they had better diction in English than s o m e E nglish-speaking choirs. The music was superb, the voices magnificent and trained, and the result was some of the most beautiful music ever heard. There is now no question as to why this choir enjoys such renown. We were indeed fortunate to host this choir and tQ enjoy its music.

to Explain

Bergmans' · 'Winte r light' BY DOC REISMAN Winter Light is part of a Bergman trilogy, which began with Through a Glass Darkly and ended with The Silence. Bergman was compelled to film Winter Light in order to refute the ambiguous ending of Through a Glass Darkly ,where one character stated "God is love." In Winter Light 'Bergman has stripped away all film rhetoric: he does not use music, lighting, tone, images, etc., to make his film more interesting, as he does in his other films. He depends heavily on language, not complemented by images. The tedium of the film is expressive. Bergman also uncharacte ristically uses few characters and a small range of emotions. One major theme of this film is the problem of communication (he a l w a y s avoids Truffaut trivialities). This was seen in his other films this year, including The Magician, Hour of the Wolf, Shame, and particularly Personna. But in W i nter Light, the artist-figure is a priest, Tomas. Tomas is ill-at-ease, and he doesn't know how to speak to others. He is seen in relation to Marta, who represents the ''Western Woman." She holds back from showing affection to Tomas, due to a fear of rejection. She wants to make herself "useful" to other people, and she has difficulty in speaking in concrete terms. Tomas has a distorted view of women. Possibly he had entered the Church to use it as a maternal

figure. Marta was not only able to remind Tomas physically of his wife; she also reminded him that there is no God. Tomas takes a boy in to a classroom to show him how irrelevant both he and r e l i g i o n a r e i n t o day's environment. A more needed character is a doctor {a character whom Bergman usually mocks). Thus, Marta carries a tray with cough medicine and aspirin, in a manner very similar to the way Tomas carries his wine and wafers. The crippled sexton (who has the physical manifestations of Tomas' internal problems and pain) has turned to the Church because of his problem. He is the most positive character in the film, and he has good insight. In _the beginning of the film, he provides an excuse for Tomas to a ct the way he does. He demystifies the Christ symbol by saying that he has suffered longer than Christ, and he doubts God. Man wants to· find certainty of God, so he wants God to manifest himself. The problem of the fisherman .­ .is that he is very empty; he represents the alienated person who is so confused that he cannot see what is ar�und him. His wife can only remain Stoic. This was not a complete analysis, but I hope this brief look at the film will help.. If not, go watch t he naked orgies in Trash(the title does not reflect the quality of the film; transvestite Holly Woodlawn uses garbage to decorate his/her apartment).

Most of the sessions I attended emphasized institutional structure and faculty change. Given the internal and external pre.ssures for change, what directions ought the changes to take?.Ivan Illich, the ra dical reform er, in the keynote talk, defined the ideal education as "humanistic." He questioned not the desirability, but the attainability of this goal in what he termed a "suicidal" wo rld, a world in which Ho.mo moloch overwhelms Homo Jaber .

Crisis Center Start ed To lrovide Counseling Upstairs, a student crisis center for Hamilton and Kirkland will be open around the clock within the next two weeks o n the seco nd floor o f the Hea lth Center . Som eone will be manning the phone at all times with either e m e r gency pers onal he1p or knowledge o f how to obtain services vital to students. These will include draft counseling, legal aid, and medical care. In addition, the m embers of the Center will be acqui ring ·further information about other types o f useful service.s. A student who wishes to use the center can either c all or visit

in person, and the privacy of all will be strictly honored. Ther e will be no moralizing, just help for those who want it. The idea for the center arose from the fact that at present there is often no place where a student can get the information, guidance, or understa nding that .he m ight need. If the members of the center can't help a person they will at least have an idea of who can. Details on the program will be announced as soon a s they are avail able and volunteers for next year's program are still welcome. If anyone is interested, conta ct Deb bie Spea r s , B o x 601, Kirkland, or call 853-6039.

Tom Rush to.Play in Gym, Plays Both Folk and Rock BY STEPHEN APPLEGATE T o m Rus h w i ll set off Houseparty Weekend next Friday with a perform ance in the Gym a t 8:30. Rush, in his mu�ic, provides a blend o f the old and the new. He has been · a performer for more than six yea rs and has written ma ny of his own songs, as well a s perfo rming excellent renditions o f songs by other folk artists such as James Taylor and Joni Mitchell. Rush is a gradu ate of Groton a nd Harvard; he got his sta rt in the Newport and Boston Fo lk arenas, and became a well-known figure at the Unicorn in Boston. He wa s a visitor to Hamilton four years ago, Although Rush's style and music have undergone a many cha nges since that time, he s t i l l i s recognizable by his folk-country sound.

In his concerts, Rush employs both the acoustic and the electric g u i t a r . H i s m o st r ecent has been Trevor accompa nist Veitch, a Ca na dian guita r player. Although Rush played alone in his' la st concert here, he ·will be backed F r i day by a band comprised of Veitch, a bass player, and a drummer. His la test album wa s just relea sed, called Merrimac County. The title song is a revised versi on of a so ng o f the same name on an earlier album. Rush's best-known album is probably The Circle Game, on which he presents his version of that Joni Mitchell hit. Rush has been referred- to by m any as a truly rei:µarkable performer and he is considered to be able to establish a go�d rapport with-his audience.

The announcement came as a surprise to many observers. The talk had been that the new director would be a man from

A full-time trainer will be hired who will also assist in the Phys. Ed. program and in one sport. Also, one to three part-time men will be employed for various coaching assignments. One of these men would probably assume the post of J .V. Basketball Coach now held by Don Jones.

The Soviet Message: �we are huma.n,

BY FRED AXELROD One Kirkland student said on her way out of the Soviet-Ame;ican "discussion" after it was half over, "How can you sit through s,o much stupidity, Peter." But the press liked it, and almost no one left their seat until the final word was uttered. The Tuesday night confrontation between Michael Clinger '73, Betty Hagerty'72 and Gary Vensel '73., Vladimir A. Kavtaradze, Nikolai N. Mukhyn and Levon P. Saakyan was not a discussion, nor was it really a debate. Least of all was it stupidity. The Americans racked up points against the Russians and they against us. Clinger, Hagerty and Vensel appeared superbly prepared and seemed to "win" the discussion, but the audience was leff to answer the evening's topic question, "How can the United States and·-soviet Union work together for world peace?" No answer was offered as to how either country can reach an understanding with the other, but the very occurence�of the debate is a step toward understanding. If you came to the discussion expecting to hear a resolution of ideological differences and unity of peoples oppressed by J<>vernments, you left very disappointed. The vast differences in roles between Betty, Mi_ke and Gary and Messers Kavtaradze, 0

Mukhyn and Saakyan, as practically official representatives of tneir government, kept the e vening at the hot but safe level of semi-debate. Americans learned something about the Soviet world view from the Soviets. We also saw how international debating, bargaining and exchange can be jolly good fun, touch on some deadly issues, and often be circular, contradictory and incomplete. Perhaps the cultural exchanges during the day and evenings, on campus -tour and with drinks in hands, did more to reach an understanding between people, but the disc�ssion di� show the need for cooperation between Russia and the United States and the need for intelligent understanding of each other's views. Hagerty spoke· first declaring, "We consider the recent bombing of North Vietnam deplorable. We feel that the United States should end its involvement in Vietnam immediately." The applause was deafening. The three American students in effect said to the Russians (and the press), Do you find, the actions of the U.S. government deplorable? So do we and so does almost everyone else here. Now let's debate. What proceeded was a two hour defense or explanation, by the · Russians of every- action the Soviet Union has taken, and an attack by the Russians that the United States commits equivalent actions but calls them by different names. The Russians were e"X;tremely kind in their criticism-of the United States. After all, the ·topic was what can the two nations do to help the world, not which nation has a more heinous foreign policy. They never mentioned our intervention at the Bay of Pigs, the Dominican Republic, and Chile, never condemned our support of military dictatorships around the world, never reminded us of the unknown work of the CIA, USIA, or FBI, and it took a black member of the audience to remind us of our support of colo-nial and racist· governments in Africa.

Babbitt Condemns The Viet War; Students Should Inform Selves

What I have to say about the war is said as an individual. I cannot tell you the position of this college on the war, because it has none, institutionally.

The war in Vietnam has become an abomination so vile and so penetrating in its effect on

'!��SOR We are come together tonight for at least two reasons. First, from the moral and intellectual conviction that our military involvement in southeast Asia is wrong. We have bombed, raped, burned, and shot our way through South and North Viet Nam, Cambodia, and Laos. We have burned children's bodies, wasted the substance o f v illages, corrupted the life of nations. Perhaps this ·most recent escalation only helped to make evident what we in our quietism have suppressed: every bomb that falls to burn a human body, to destroy a home and a village, is an American bomb. Unless · we protest, i t f a lls with om permission and our blessing. It bums, maims, and destroys with our blessing. Unless we organize to make our resistance real. But while we wait, we - our nation, in our name - has already devastated Indochina with more bomb tonnage than we have loosed on other nations in all other wars, combined. We live· a national lie in our involvement in Indochina. In the name of freedom we support a mil ita r y d i ct atorship in its devastation of civil liberties. We d estroy villages in order to liberate them. We destroy the bodies of human being in order to save them. We wallow in filth in order to cleanse ourselves. And we call those who conduct "wars of national .liberation" liars. know your position and when your action. will support it. Finally, know that the turmoil you may feel is part of a reaction

Our hands, my na,tional hands, drip with the blood of the liberation we have bestowed on southeast Asia. At home, we make heroes out of murderers, because we must justify the conditions we have created in a distant country in ., which murder is an honorable thing. In our confusion, blindness and anger we twist truth, until those who protest treason are sentenced to prison as traitors. But there is a second important reason why that small group got together Sunday,. and why we are here tonight. We seek practical, organized, hard-nosed political e f f e ctiveness out o f our convictions. In an election year, we s e ek continuing political organization which can return our m oral conviction to political decision making. F rom t he pr otest t hat c r y s t a l l ized in t h e 1968 Democratic Presidential primaries, we know that our protest does not go without effect in that political sphere. But between those primaries and Cambodia, and this reaction, there is a crucial differ�nce. College students are now included in federal elections as voters. We are no longer playing at symbolic politics. Millions of voices are capable of political effect if they are properly organized to gain their effect. We ask you to join with us for . two purposes. which is country-wide. It will be felt if it is expressed clearly and well. Kirkland and Hamilton may Continued To Page Six

Senate Challenges WHCL-FM Funds BY ROGER SCHNEIDER T hr o ug h o u t h is . term as president of the Student Senate, one of Jerry Ryan's goals was to have WHCL-FM·, the Hamilton and K i r k land College radio station, incorporate d into the Publications Board.· At his final m e e t i n g a s president, Ryan engineered a motion to do just that. Terry MacAvery, Chairman of th e P ublications Board, was invited by Ryan - to attend the Student Senate meeting April 4, to state his position. No members of the radio station attended. Members of the WHCL-FM staff contend they were not infor med of the meeting. At the meeting, MacA.very spoke in favor of placing WHCL-FM under the jurisdiction of his Board and, at Ryan's ·r equest,· proposed a motion which would place the Senate behind such a move. The motio!1 passed. MacAvery, and Ryan, feel that WHCL should be under the Board's control primarily because,· since each student pays. four dollars each year .. to budget the station, there . should be direct student control and supervision of how t h at - money is spent. Presently, they reason, there is no o u t s i d e s t u d e n t i nf l u e n c e concerning the running o f fr.e station. Furthermore they feel, by incorporating the station under the Board, the chance of WHCL running over its budgetary quota due to poor manageme nt would be minimize d. WHCL is presently responsible to the Trustees, not directly to the students.

Sam .Fathers in ''The Bear," a man also integral to the universe which decays correspondingly with his own decline. Decadence, in fact, is perhaps the dominant theme in the film. And, as in Faulkner's South, it is a decadence that cannot be escaped. Characters make futile attempts\to'lift them­ selves out of the nothingness that is their town, but the only · effective escape comes through death.· Peter Bogdanavich, probably the most famous young director in America, and Robert Surtees, who received two cinematography nominations this year (the other for, oddly enough, Summer of '42), capture this spirit of decadence from the opening pan over the town, through the soiled interiors, to the same pan, only in reverse, at the end. In many great novels, the first paragraph often tells us all we need to know to understand the rest of the book. In great mo�ies, the same often applies to , the opening shot, or sequence. Think, for example, of the magnificently d r amatic helicopterized view of Manhattan which opens West Side Story; or in one of Hitchcock's better efforts, where he starts with an overview of a city you recognize, tells you the season of the year, the time of day, and after zooming in on a hotel room, the whole premise for the story of the film. Bogdanavich, whose book on Hitchcock Francais Truffaut cites in the bibliography of his own study, has studied this and other techniques, and employed them with the best effect in his own film. Bogdanavich obviously knows how to handle actors, too, for he e l i c i t s some u npretentiously memorable performances from a cast o f unknowns. Timothy Bottoms is particularly appealing as the boy who epitomizes the innocence, the selfishness, the impotence of all the lost souls in a lost community. Cloris Leachman, making an amazing transformation from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, is superb as a 40-year old who com mits adultery with Bottom_s, and regains some of the youth she has lost by marrying an insensitive he-man who now spends all his time coaching a basketball team j:hat loses 112-14. Miss Leachman does so much with simple g estures a n d facial expressions that she hardly has to say a word to communicate her feelings. Ellen Burstyn, who lost out to Miss Leachman in the Academy Award balloting for Best Supporting Actress, has a lesser role in the film, but portrays a "rich bitch" type (who isn't really so bitchy after all) with great n a tur a l ne s s , a l t e r n a t i n g en toughness appropriately and sensitivit� . Jonson, who pporting Actor won the Best Award, plays his role with incredible intensity and sincerity, the. high point of which is a monologue by a lake, which, director Bogdanavich reported, was perfect on the first take. In this scene, especially, the unusual l i g h t i ng a nd the g rapqic photography contribute to the meaning of the story Jonson is telling. The language of the film c onsists largely o f simple, c o n ver sational s lang, set in a b a c k g r o u n d o f Country-and-Western hiis playing on the ever-enduring radio. I couldn't help wondering, since I personally dislike that kind of music, whether Bogdanavich was

BYJOHN EAGER The recent non-reaction to the escalation of bombing in Vietnam once again ptoves the difficulty the American peace movement has had in determining priorities. Let us restrict ourselves for the moment to the bombing issue. Are we to assume from the silence before the Hanoi - Haiphong bombings that even those who regard themselves as part of the peace movement accept the bombing of a country as justifiable when that country's · government has consented? With the permission of the regime,the United-States has dropped thousands, if not millions, of tons of bombs in South Vietnam and-heard hardly a single domestic peep. Or is it that whereas the vast majority of bombs dropped in South Vietnam �re totally ineffective, a raid of 200 planes finally mana�ed to strike their target in North Vietnam? Are we to assume a tacit acceptance of Vietnamization? Is it possible that the American peace movement is sufficiently limited in its objectives to care little about peace in Vietnam as long as America is not in the war? Vietnamization will not bring peace,but the continuation of the death and destruction. All that changes with Vietnamization is the nationality of the maimed and killed soldiers. But there is one issue in Vietnam that goes beyond nationalization,and it is one that Americans standing on both sides of the war have chosen to more or less ignore.The environmental activists have noticed the major theme of the story of men's efforts to destroy man,but even they have failed to realize that this the�� is carried to its logical extreme in Vietnam.The full-scale destruct�on of Vietnam by chemical - biological warfare has evoked noth1�g close to the response of the excursions into Cambodia and Hanoi Haiphong. This seems to be one more indicatiO!J- that the goal of too many anti-war activists is not peace in Vietnam,but the end of American military force and influence.

THE SARRELS Saturday, April 22 President Babbitt will award the first President's Medal to Dr. and Mrs. Sarrel. We urge everyone from Hamilton and Kirkland to attend the ceremony, but more important to seek out the authors with their questions. After the ceremony, the Sarrels will be available from 3-5 in the Coffee House, 5 p.m. in a reception at List and 6:30 at dinner -in McEwen. Please take this unique opportunity to consult with the experts on anything you may wish to ask. FLORENCE HOWE Florence Howe, the Women's Liberation supporter will be on the Kirkland campus Tues$y and Wednesday, April 25 and 26. Ms. Howe is scheduled to lecture on "feminism in Literature -Women's Studies,"-at 8 p.m., Tuesday in the Chapel. There will be rec�ption directly after the speech in List Art Center. Wednesday Ms. Howe will conduct two workshops entitled "Sexual Stereo-types· in Textbooks," and "What Is the Role of a Women's College in a Sexist Society?" to which everyone in the community is invited. FEELING BLOATED? LET BLOOD! Was Los, the Junior Honor Society, will sponsor a campus blood drive. next Wednesday, April 26, in the .Bristol Campus Center Snack Bar from 10:00 to 3:45. Everyone on campus in need of a bloodletting , is urged to attend. COOP ART STORE The Coop Art Store needs cooperation and working capital to serve the community adequately. Only one-third of our funds are supplied by shares, the rest by the Student Activities Funding Committee of Kirkland. A true cooperative store should be\ based upon the participation of those who need and want the services of the coop. Participation in this sense has been, at best, lagging. Therefore we feel "membership" rather than "shareholding" should be emphasized. To effect this policy, as of this date, shares in the store will be -$10.00 and will include a signed commitment to help in the organization and management of the Coop. Considering the benefits derived from being a "member", the commibnent should not involve exorbitant amounts of the members' time. The most obvious of these benefits are lower prices and convenience. If we are to keep our prices down and expand our inventory, we must have more capital and help. Our goal, th·en, is to transform the Art Store into a true Cooperative which serves the people who participate in it. Old shareholders may use their $5.00 shares for the remainder of the semester; they have the option of purchasing the second half of the new shares now, including the commitment to help if asked, or later. The new "membership" system will go into. full effect in the fall semester. The M anagement U:TTERS AND TELEGRAMS Tables have been set up in the lobby of McEwen by, Megan Charlop and Peggy Father to encourage students to write to their Congressmen expressing their opinions on the renewed bombing of North Vietnam. Letters to Congressmen can be addressed to the U.S. Senate Building, Washington D.C., 20013, and to the House of Representatives Building, Washington, D.C.

Leff Co nsiders New Year; Plans Ma,idatorySocial Tax BY VINCENT DICARLO Self-scheduled exams and the opening of personal fi!es to �tudents are among the goals of C lyde L e f f , n ewly-elected president of the· Student Senate. Leff has been too recently elected to have taken many official actions, but his attitudes indicate the directions that ·ms stay in office will take. Be believes that i s s ue s t h a t i n volve; l ittle expenditure will be the most promising, since budget· problems m a y i n t e r f e r e w ith the implementation of some plans. The new Student Senate President is sensitive to the economic burdens of increased tmt10n, room, and board costs for most students. Actions which cost money will be proposed, however, as needed. Although Leff does not see food quality in the same terms as Service System's more vocal detractors, (he pointed out that Service Systems' profit margin is about half the one normal to industry), he noted that this issue is of continuing concern to students. The main obstacles to some form of self-scheduling exams �re the la�k of demonstrated student support and faculty mistrust. Leff noted that the results of the r e c e n t· p o l l have a m p ly

New Frosh to SeeSchool BY BILL KELLY The approximately 100 high school seniors who have been invited to Hamilton's third pre-freshman weekend have alt been accepted at Hamilton, but are undecided as to their final c ollege choice. The activities planned are geared towards a tt r a c t ing the uncommitted pre-freshmen who are perhaps t1 o a large. extent uninformed of the nature 'jf campus life. The festivities will begin on Thursday afternoon with a welcoming address by Julian Bernstein '72, chairman of the Committee. Following dinner in t h e B r i s t ol Lounge, t he pre-freshmen· will proceed to the Chapel to hear Deans Tolles and DePuy speak on the quality of life at Hamilton, and then participate with se·veral faculty members in a panel discussion on academics. Friday will be given over to a "day in the life" format, with the pre-freshmen· being escorted to classes by students and eating at fraternity houses. On the Friday night the prospective students will receive a taste of the multifaceted social life on the Hill, given a choic'e of movies, the Theatre Department's Spring P.roduction, or the Coffeehouse. In order that the prefreshmen find out what Hamilton is really all about, the· Pub will be open all evening. The job of coordinating the activities has been handled by A n d y Heller · ' 74, and his s u b - c o m m itt e e o n t h e pre-freshmen weekend. It is hoped that all students will cooperate in making life easier for what will undoubtedly be a group of rather bewildered young men.

. demonstrated student interest. He expects, though, that the recent housing difficulties might be used to oppose the motion. In order to ·win the confidence of the faculty and the administration, Clyde said, it is important that Monday's new housing choices are free from any hint of chicanery. Co-ed housing, says Leff, is basically a sound idea for those who want it; however, he is dissatisfied with the arrangements made this year. He dislikes the allocation of the best Hamilton dormitory and the worst Kirkland dormitory to the project as unfair. Some of the best rooms on the campus are befr1g lo�t to Hamilton men in return for some of Kirkland's worst. Through their low priority in the Lottery, and t he peren nial popularity of Carnegie Dorm, underclassmen are effectively denied the opportunity to live in a co-ed dorm. This situation, . he added, was not deliberate on the part of either school; however, he felt that a remedy should be sought. President Leff is also in favor of a · compulsory Social Tax, which he sees as necessary for m a i n t a ining a n y sort o f entertainment opportunities on the Hill. He believes that the present system is "unfair to those who pay the tax" because a

person who does not pay can usually get many of the benefits without ever showing his card or by borrowing the card of a friend. He considered it essential that the SEC be more responsive to the entertainment tastes of all the students- not just those who like rock or folk music, in the same way that Gym or Campus Center services are provided for the entertainment tastes of the entire community.

Senate Has $500 Surplus An outdated Administration rule stat�s that funds cannot be held over from one year to the next. With the 71-72 fiscal year. reaching an end, approximately $500 remains in the budget. If no use is found for the money it will be forfeited over to the College. Newly-elected President Clyde Leff '7 3 feels confident that the funds will be spent within the two . final meetings of the Senate. Any stud e n t or gan i za t ion which approaches the Senate body with a worthwhile cause for the money, may have it granted to them upon request. Otherwise,· it could conceivably be donated to a local charity.

HAMIL TON -�ND KIRKLAND COLLE-GE§ CLINTON NEW YORK .

The Kirkland Charter Class: An tUntraditiOnal' Graduation BYJOAN TUCHM"AN Amid tradition and novelty, Kirk land ' s Charter Class · of approximately 116 will graduate Thursday, May 25, at 3:00, in. a ceremony open to the public. The program, complete with balloons, bagpipes, and circus tent, will be in the field behind Minor, Major, and McIntosh, the "original" dorms. Graduation will begin with a processional or' graduates and· faculty. No single formal speaker is scheduled: emeritus trustee Millicent C. McIntosh and Board Chairman Walter Beinecke,Jr. will talk briefly, but no benediction or baccalaureate is planned. After the ceremony, the balloons will be released. Although President Samuel F. Babbitt will be fully attired in cap, gown, and Kirkland seal, all other participants are free to dress as they please. Babbitt will hand out the diplomas, in an untraditional random fashion. The diplomas, designed by senior Kate Elem, will be of recycled green paper, and will feature Babbitt' s signature, the apple tree s ymbol, and an optional

stamp saying "First Lot, Passed and Approved." Students' name s, in whatever form they choose (nicknames, foreign language, etc.), will be printed at the top. "The diplomas need not be designed to just sit in a drawer somewhere," says Janet Horsman. "It' s all up to the individual." Those receiving degrees in ab sentia or those not planning to attend the ceremony will get their diplomas in the mail. For those at the graduation, both participants and guests, a huge tent will be set up as protection against the Clinton sunshine. (Should the weather inconceivably flop, pioneer spirits will quickly adapt.) Graduate s, parents, trustees, admini strators, and faculty will share a buffet luncheon at noon in McEwen, before the ceremony. A collection of fireworks, donated anonymously, will probably be set off after the buffet. At 1 :00 p.m., a punch reception, open to all, i s planned. Although Thur sday' s activities are far from formal, the "personal and intimate side of graduation," Janet explains , will be the special

The first Kirkland PresidenCs Medal was awarded Saturday to Dr. and Mrs. Philip Sarrel for their joint achievemen.ts in the field of ' human sexuality. Afterwards, the couple led an informal discussion group in the Coffee House. They de scribed their work as the gynecologist-s ocial worker team at the Yale Health Clinic and then outlined their human sexuality coursefor college students which has been in great demand at many universitie s. It was the hope of students and faculty at the discussion that a similar non-credit, six week night

course could be set up for the Fall with an equal number of male and female students. However, the course mu st first be developed through a combined s tudent-faculty committee on human sexuality. The committee i s formed on a 50-50 balance of· student s to other person s, which includes a doctor from the health_ service, a representative from the Dean's office, a member of the campus ministry, two or three faculty of the students' choosing and six or seven students. Each week a lecture is given�

covered-dis h supper on Tuesday, May 23. Here, students, faculty, and administration will reminisce over the � pa s t four years. Entertaining skits, e specially by faculty members, will make up a large part of the evening. Anoflier- senior -acH.vity will be May 6's "Survivor's Picnic," which· the Babbits are givjng at their home. The personalized green construction helmets that each Cla ss of '72 member received as a freshman may well turn up at this outing. Decisions for the end of the year have been made via the town meeting method, so reminiscent of the Charter Class' first year, when con s tant c on ferences helped establish basic Kirkland policies. This year's meetings have been marked by diversity. ''Most. issues were divided right down the middle," notes Betty Hagerty, volunteer cha ir man of the grad�ation committee. "But," she adds, "no one enforced opinions on a nother." Georgiana Silk emphasizes that few plans are completely definite at this time, s pec i f i c a l l y because of this diversity of opinion.

_Speed Limit

Yesterday evening the Student Senate Executive Committee met to discuss the fa ilure of the Student Entertainment Committee to fulfill its responsibilities to the students. The S.E.C. has gone several hundred dollars into debt, as well as leaving no money available for next week's Folk Festival prizes. It appears that apart from going into debt, the S.E.C. has not been considering the wishes of .students in choosing the groups to come and appear in concert. It could be noted that no where on the SEC priority lists of groups considered for the Spring concert was there mention of "Lighthouse" or "Al Kooper." We urge the Student Senate and the Assembly to oversee the future activities of the SEC which will be superceded by the Student Activities· Committee next year. Another suggestion would be for the SAC to poll all students paying social tax to determine which musical groups are the favorites and therefore should be sought out for concerts.

Last Wednesday afternoon a · dog was killed by a speeding truck outside the Emerson Literary Society. The truck had just missed hitting a student. This is not the first time a dog was hit.' Nor the second. Nor the third. Since the beginning of· this academic year, at least six animals have been injured in a similar fashion. However, this editorial is not solely intended to take up the cause for the unfortunate dogs, a matter serious enough in itself. The existing speed limits of 35 and 45 m.p.h. on College Hill Road have been shown to present over-all dangers in an area of much pedestrian activity. A lowered speed limit is not only desirable at this point but necessary. This is not the first time complaints have been filed. Hopefully, Wednesday's incident will instigate some students, faculty or administn1tion to do something more about it.

LETTERS

RUSSIANS To the Hamilton and Kirkland Community: Most of the comments on the Hill about last week's meeting with the Soviet debaters have s t r e s s e d t h e p o i n t s of disagreement between the two s i d e s . T h i s e m p ha s i s i s understandable, especially in view of the s�perb performance of Miss Haterty and Messrs. Vensel and C Ii n g �r . From occasional comments I have heard, however, I am afraid that a few people have mistakenly considered the honest and spirited exchange of views which took place somehow imp o l i t e a n d t h e H a m i l t o n -Kirkland t ea m's presentation even a trifle inhospitable. Hence, I feel I must emphasize two things: 1) the debate was, if anything, mild in tone compared with most of the many other Soviet-American discussions at which I have been present, both in the United States and in the U.S.S.R.; 2) our Soviet guests felt that most of the issues raised were pertinent to the topic under d_iscussion, and none of them felt the slightest bit offended by the tone of the debate. Following the reception at Bristol, the two teams got together at a private party, and the atmosphere could scarcely have been friendlier. The next morning at breakfast before the three Soviet visitors left for W a sh i ngton t he y repeatedly expressed to me their esteem for their erstwhile o.pponents and emphasized how much they had enjoyed their stay at Hamilton and Kirkland.

'76 Frosh Hamilt on Qualified ' Diverse

BY BILL KELLy· A c c o r d i n g to Director Christopher Covert, 1972 was a n o t her successful year for Hamilton Admissions. As of this writing, 531 high se::hool seniors _have been accepted to fill' a class that will ultimately total 265, an increase of some 15 over last year. - An extensive statistical survey of the Class of 1976 has not yet been completed, but several trends have become evident. Due in large m e a s u r e to the At hletic Department's search for qualified athletes, there will likely be more jocks in next year's freshman class. Covert stressed, however, that this was not a "recruiting" policy as such, since everyone accepted is more than capable of succeeding at Hamilton.

One area of improvement this year was that of Black and Puerto Rican admissions. Covert stated that 1972 saw the largest and most qualified group of minority applicants in the history of the school. A structural improvement was that the Student Admissions C o m m itte e , whose me�bers conducted tours and interviews 'a nd i n g e nera l a i d ed the AdmJ.Ssions Department in its work. When asked about projected changes for next year, Covert replied that he would seek greater Alumni participation in the admissions program, especially in such areas as the Midwest, which tend to attract relatively few applicants because of the great di_stance involved.

Many people feel that there's a definite lack of community at Kirkland and Hamilton. In "Education and Social Change", a Kirkland American Studies Course, we have been trying to remedy this. As we see it, Kirkland at some future time could conceivably become entirely cooperative - students cooking: cleaning, doing maintenance work and secretarial jobs. We would only need to hire a few supervisors for each area. Our thought was that with everyone pitching in to do a few hours of work a week a real feel for community could develop. For next year, we are hoping a small group of students will take the -initiative to start small-type cooperatives in suites and half-floors to test the snarls, drawbacks, but most of all the benefits of cooperative living. The class met with Mr. Babbitt, Mr. Joel Tibbetts, Dave Chapman, Bridgie Cosper: Jerald Townsend andw several interested students. We heard about' several prep schools and colleges (Goddard, Oberlin, and Queens University, Kingston, Canada) that are either total cooperatives or have dorms that are cooperatives. The_n we got down to reality and tried to see whether it would at some time be feasible for Kirkland. The money that would be saved at Kirkland was figured to be about $300,000 or about $500 per student a year - not as much as we'd expected. Then Mr. Babbitt explained that even those students paying full fees now are not paying what it really costs to run the school and it is only through gifts at the moment that Kirkland keeps out of the red. So, as is now stands, if we were to have a cooperative, we would have it for the very valid reason that it would be an exciting experience for students as a whole community to run the school. The other thing that we'd be doing is helping the school to pay off its debt. · We also realize now that it will have to be a step by step op·eration to turn Kirkland into a full cooperative. We hope to establish a committee devoted to developing this idea into reality at least for one dorm for the fall of '73. Con_ceivably Kirkland and Hamilton students would _share the cooking and cleaning and the good and the bad that is involved in being a community, and in being an experiment. There is a sign up on the stairs in the mailroom in McEwen for those who are interested in working or planning it for next and future years. Also there will be a meeting Tuesday night, May 2, at 9:00 p.m. for anyone interested in the cooperative idea. Come with questions, ideas and plans. Any questions or responses can be directed to: Alice Stern (ext. 7502), Liz Samenfield (ext. 4443), or Maria Zammit (ext. 4929).

Survey Shows Faculties Want More Casual Contact BY GLENN H. PERELSON The· res ults of a recent questionnaire show that while a majority of the facµlty on both campuses spend more than six hours per week with students outside of the classroom, there are many who would like to spend more time in casual contact with the students. The results of this questionnaire were included as p a r t o f a "R e p o r t on Faculty-Student Relations at Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges". The purpose of this report, according to its author, Jim Vick '73, was "to examine, and to recommend steps to improve the relationship between stµdents and faculty." A fundamental obstacle impeding improvement of the "quality of life" at Hamilton and Kirkland is the "negative-thinking syndrome" prevalent on the campuses. The size and location of the schools is conducive to a personal friendly atmosphere_, which should, Mr. Vick believes, be nurtured and encouraged by comm unication. If the "fllll potential" of the schools is thus realized, both the individuals and the institutions stand to benefit. Therefore, on February 29, "a questionnaire _ was sent to all teaching faculty and selected a d m i n i stration members. The purpose of this questionnaire was to find how the faculties regard e x tra-curricular contact with students, how much time they spend with students outside the classroom, and whether they are receptive. to the idea of spending more time with students in discussion unrelated to curricular subjects." T h e r e s u l t s o f the questionnaire, based on a 50% return, are not surpri�ing. Among

Mr. Vick's findings were that "no Hamilton faculty member spends most of his time with students in a din ing hall," and that "no Kirkland faculty member spends most of his time with students in the Briston Campus Center." A note of hope is sounded, however, in that "a majority of responding faculty members would like to have more contact with students outside of classes," and that "professors who do want to spend more time with students believe the desire is mutual." Some possible complications arise in that the professors' time is limited,. and in the doubt as to w he t her casual contact with students is part of a professor's job. "On the other hand," concludes Vick, "it is a fact that no matter · how fully occupied people are with the business at hand, they always spend a certain amount of time relaxing with their friends; if students and faculty call, be induced to spend this time in a common area such as the Bristol snack bar or McEwen, some communication and eventually a psychological tie between students and faculty will result." Mr. Vick makes the point that f a culty members are not "psychoanalysts" or . "substitute parents," · and that he is not recommending that anyone act against their own inclinations. "This report only recomi;nends that members of the community be given the opportunity to meet, talk, and relax together. It is hoped that given this opportunity, pe ople of the colleges will paturally gra vitate t o ward �ommon oases, thereby taking advantage of what the small college environment offers."

Arts and Eatertatameat Androgynous Aunt Amuses Charlatans; -Production Falls BY JIM KENNEDY The Charlatans, heading for another year production-wise, set f o r t h B r a n d o n T h o ma s ' "C harley's Au nt" for the e d i f i c a t ion o f a hungry houseparty crowd, but it was brunch for an audience seeking Bacchanalian revel. Indeed, this play had great potential, following a story line reminiscent of the Marx Brothers. Or was it Laurel and Hardy? Or maybe it was the Three Stooges. It doesn't matter. We've all seen it at least once - the story where the guy dresses up as the girl and then two more guys fall in love with him (her), and everyone runs around like chickens without heads until the whole thing gets resolved in the end. You know the one. It's usually not a difficult sort of play to pull off. It's the kind you can have fun with. You know, experiment with different characters until you find the one that's just perfect, then play it to

the hilt.· It usually works simply because you have so much fun, and the audience joins you in the lark of it all. "Charley's Aunt," however, was an unusual case. There comes a point in a fun play when the actors can have a little too much fun. This can result in their joining in with the audience at laughing at their own lines. It's fatal when it happens, and it did. Jim Peskin, in the title role, was good, but he was having trouble keeping a straight face at some of the one-liners being thrown around. It was extremely distracting and detracted from his performance as the devious Lord F a n c o u r t B a b b e r ly who impe rsonates Charley's aunt. Don't get me wrong, Peskin is good! He's proven it before, but this one fell a little short of his standard. John Swinney was a highlight. H ardly recognizable with his blonde locks dyed jet black,

Florence Howe . DiscusseS Sexist Slant in · Literature

BY LISA NEWELL Ms. Florence Howe, founder of the Feminist Press and Professor of H umanities at SUNY at Westbury, lectured at the Chapel Tuesday night on "Women and Literature." Her · dialogue with students continued at the McEwen reception that followed and the two workshops held Wednesday_. In her Tuesday lecture, Ms. Howe s po ke o f her o wn experiences as a woman and a teacher, and made analyses of im p ortant literary figures to illustrate the male bias of Western s ociety as r e flected in its literature. James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence and Richard Wright were her selected targets. She also told several stories about her stude nts' reactions to these authors, which were often sexist, too. To guage the Tuesday night

audience's background in female authors, Ms. Howe polled for recognition of such 19th and 20th century writers as Tess Slesinger, Agnes Medley, Elizabeth Madox Roberts, Rebecca Harding Davis, Toni Morrison, Harriette Arnow, Paula Marshall, Tilly Olsen, Olive Shiner and Kate Chopin. No one jn the audie.nce ·knew of any of these women. Ms. Howe ended her lecture with two suggestions for the future : !) feminists s hould e n c ourage women writers to create a new, non-male-oriented literature and 2)feminists should begin writing their own history-­ biographies of great women, etc. Ms Howe founded the Feminist Press to try to meet these goals. On Wednesday morning, Ms. Howe led a workshop on sexual stereotypes in children's literature.

MEDICAL SCHOOL BY ERIC HENLEY The returns are not yet complete, but it seems clear that Hamilton's ability to place its prelaw and premed students in the schools of their choice has seriously deteriorated. This does not mean that many �tudents are not getting in somewhere, it is just that they are having a harder time getting in and are not going where they would like to go. In the case of.law, where the difference in quality between law schools is greater than among med schools, too many students will be going to Albany or Syracuse next year.Med students, }\'ho might rather go elsewhere, now give thanks at getting into Syracuse or N.Y. Med. And this situation has not blossomed overnight, it has been coming for several years. The most important point to be grasped from this information is for studen' .., faculty and administrators to realize that it is true. No longer do�s getting through the Hamilton premed program guarantee a position in a U.S. medical school. No longer can a student do only "adequately" in his courses here and expect to advance beyond the Albany-Syracuse law schools. We must realize these facts, because we can then begin a determined effort at bettering Hamilton's standing among law and med school admission committees by using every weapon we have, and it would seem that our main weapon is that vast amorphous group called alumni. We must start, using our graduates to enhance the value of our applications at grad schools. This means that the administration and faculty must contact alumni to get them to work for our students. Furthermore, the school must do better at cultivating its own contacts at grad schools. We should face the fact that with things as tough as they are, every contact means a-lot, even if that person can only bring a student's application to the attention of an admissions committee. What makes the present situation particularly frustrating is that we graduate a group of students every year who are more qualified than a lot of students who do better in law and med school placement. I do not believe that the answer to our problem involves changing our grading system, for , as studies have shown, though our grades ·may rise, they are rising along with the grades of colleges·an over the country. Thus, our relative grade position will probably remain the same in comparison to those schools we compete against., What will be more effective is an effort at making.Hamilton carry the reputation with· grad schools that it truly merits. Until then, nobody connected with the college should be satisfied. . /

ABORTION ISSUE BY MEGAN CHARLOP A group of approximately twenty Kirkland students· and one Hamilton student joined Planned Parenthood Thursday in Albany to protest the Crawford - Donovan Bill to illeg�lize abortions in New York State. The bill has been in the Assembly Codes Committee for some time now and was just brought to the floor Thursday. The possibility of public appearance of a corresponding bill now in the Senate Cod�s Committee will depend on the results of the assembly's vote. Governor Rockefeller has taken a compromising stand. He has promised to veto the repeal of the existing abortion law, but favors reducing the period during which an abortion can legally be _-:.�-performed from 24 to 16 weeks. For all intents and purposes, this shortens the period to 12 weeks, because there is no safe way to have an abortion between 12 and 16 weeks. A D&C can easily be done up to 12 weeks of pregnancy, a saline injection is possible only. after 16 weeks, between 12 and 16 weeks however the only option is a hysterotomy. This is considered major surgery and involves a risk to future normal child bearing. Becuase of our deep concern about the possible repeal of the abortion law, we felt it was important to go to Albany. The proceedings included a rally in the morning and lobbying in the afternoon. Despite the pouring rain the rally was well organized. A long list of speakers including Allen Guttmacher, head of Planned Parenthood, Rev. Howard Moody and other religious leaders, Betty Freidan, Constance Cook, trustee of Kirkland and member of·the Assembly, Mary Lindsay, and other legislators stressed the need for women, rich an.d poor, to have the right to choose to give birth. After the rally a massive lobbying effort was carried out, but this · effort was still minimal in comparison to the huge campaign of the Right-to-Life people. As it now stands they have written some 3,000 letters to every one pro-abortion letter received by the state c-c,11gressmen. Many legislators still stand undecided. If you are interested in � contacting them with your opinion by night letter or public opinion telegram, see Megan Charlop, who has a list of these uncommitted representatives. It is up to us. INCREASED POLITICAL CONSCIO.USNESS BY LISA NEWELL This week marks the second anniversary of the Kent andJackson State murders. The stage is still the same: the war is escalating once · again, even though our casualties are being kept low by the use of bombs instead of bullets, and the campuses are awakening. In the past two years, the college climate has been apolitical, as if Iient and Jackson had made the stakes too high. But I think the real lesson of Kent and Jackson is that the kids also made a mistake. No one who went Clean for Gene was shot by a National Guardsman. And that is not merely a value judgement- serious revolution does not consist of campus riots. Hopefully, the renewed escalijtion and the upcoming election will at least bring politics, back into our consciousness. It's not only easy to ignore the world "out there", its dangerous. Because it's not going to go away.

Modern Dance

BY JOAN TUCHMAN The ·Modern Dance Workshop of the Utica YWCA will perform this Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapel. The program, arranged by Joel Tibbetts and sponsored by the Chapel Board, will feature religiously-oriented interpretive dance connected with Jesus Christ Superstar, Porgy & Bess, the poems of black artist James Weldon Johnson, . and various spirituals. The WQrkshop, a group of a b out s e ven l ocal women, including one high school student, f ormed in 1959,· under the direction of Clintonian Eleanor Taylor. Mrs. Taylor emphasizes that it is "strictly an amateur g r oup recreational, not professional." Y et t he g r o u p , m a i n l y housewives and schoolteachers, has an impressive ·record of appearances. Mrs. Taylor, who works in modern dance at the YWCA, has taken the Workshop to local schools, churches, and hospitals, for both performances and lecture demonstrations. The dancers have performed at the Kirkland Art Center, at Utica C ollege, and in Rome. The Workshop has repeatedly worked here on campus with the C h a r l a t an s , especially on Shakespearean productions. In · fact, before Kirkland opened, this was the ·only modem dance group

CoIDIDent Bob Grieves was one of a group of about twelve pre-freshman applicants that · came to Hamilton for Pre-freshman weekend. He volunteered to write these comments on his adventures of the weekend. The invitation to an activities-filled pre-freshman weekend at Hamilton College sounded glamorous and exciting. An hour after our arrival at 4:00 p.m. on April 27, we met with potential disaster; only twelve of the thirty-odd pre-freshmen whom the college had invited for the weekend bothered to come. Rumors of a hasty exit circulated among the pre-frosh, but Julian Bernstein's committee mustered its resources quickly. Gathered in the Fischer Room of Bristol, _a few upperclassmen presented us with their impressions of Hamilton. Although not uncritical, all supported the education they were receiving. At six we dined in the second floor lounge of the Campus Center. We were assured this meal differed somewhat from the fare at Commons. In Bristol after dinner Dean DePiiy welcomed us to Hamilton. Then Messrs. Carter, Wright, Simon, Denney, Medina, and Lee each gave a short capsulation of the aims of his department, and of academics at 'Hamilton in general. I was extremely impressed with the depth and precision of thought each of these men displayed, and enjoyed talking to some of them afterwards. Later that evening I visited the denizens of TKE House. On this visit, as on a previous visit to DU, I found beneath the usual complaints that the students were genuinely motivated by their studies, and interested in student activities. This same spirit extended to the classes I attended on Friday. There are good and bad instructors on every campus, but in two cases I encountered a class alive to the course material and the instructor. The atmosphere was electrifying, and constituted the highlight of my visit. My cohorts and I had to leave Friday afternoon, but we all had seen enough to agree that in applying to Hamilton, we had made the rig�t decision.

Paul Taylor, for example, has been brought to the area twice, thanks to the Workshop.

<-Hermit' Performance Excellent

BY RICHARD NELSON This Right Whale I take to have been a Stoic; the Sperm Whale a Platonian, who might have taken up Spinoza in his latter years. from Moby Dick Last weekend, Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges presented "The Lit t l e O l d H er m it of the Northwest Woods", a musical comedy by Eugenia Story, and directed by Richard Bell. The production was good: the finest I have ever seen at Hamilton. In fact, I am sure that little needs to be said about the production, for those who saw it must have appreciated it in their own ways. What has bothered some people has not been the production, but the play itself. I would guess that all agree that the direction was at the very least imaginative and entertaining, the acting superb and controlled, the set and lighting wonderful. But a few, I assume, have reservations about the play itse lf, that is, about the point and purpose of the play. The plot of the play is ridiculous: the world is divided into chorus-line numbers by the frogs and solos by Jack's desert explorers. Both the frogs and Jack's desert explorers walk or dance about waiting for the impending holocaust. The frogs prepare for a great flood by b anding together; the desert ex plorers await a radioactive

fallout by learning how to survive alone. And stuck into this divided world, we find a handso:I?,e man, with his cute young lad, searching for his wife who has left him to be a frog; a hermit with the el ixir o f .life who bumps and grinds like a vamp or the "It" girl; and a rekind l ed friendship between members of opposing camps, that is, between a frog and a desert ·explorer. So withi n this world divided between frogs and desert moles, we watch cliched situations comical ly develop, we watch se l f-co nscious c liches, camp humor. We are certainly made to see these situations as cliches; however, if the play had at its b ottom o n l y s e l f -conscious cl iches, we would have just cause for questioning the purpose of the play, for then the pl ay would seem to be Ii ttle more than a gala and outrageous review. But the play has more up its sleeve than just camp humor, for this humor itself is put to a purpose. Although the play suggests or imp lies a number of p hil osophies, ways of life and ways of thinking, at first the play seems to hold no phil osophy of its own. What it does is to puncture the aura of philos(!phies, ways of life and ways· of thinking, in general, without ridiculing any philosophy specifical ly. It deflates the notion

of phil osophy by tying it to this ridiculous world-divided, just as in the above quotation from Moby Di c k , Stoicism , P l a t o n i sm, S p i no z i s m , as these a r e representative philosophies, are deflated when absurdly compared to Right and Sperm Whales. The humor makes us view the suggested and implied ways of life and ways of thinking as being ridiculous, while the clichec;l situations make us see these impl ied philosophies as being vacuous and foolish. So the play evolves not as a criticism or satire of one way o f l ife, one p h i 1 o s o p h y , b u t o f all philosophi es, of all positive and se l f-commita l- l ife-styles and patterns of thinking. Yet Story's play does not seem nihilistic or skeptical: it seems neutral . The play ends with the cast as birds, objective and neutral to the foolish commitments of this divided world. I said earlier that at first glance this play does not seem to hold to a philosophy; now, however, we can see that ·it does, that. this play p r opound s the n otion o f neutrality, objectivism. And it is this notion which angers me, this notion of self-righteous neutrality or maybe solipsistic liberalism which I think has infested most of us today. However, the point of this article is not to attack Ms. Story's attitudes, but to show that her play does present an attitude, that her play does have a purpose and a. point.

Sticknien Humble Univ.· of Rochester, Alfred '• Consecutive Victories First for Hill in 2 Years BY ALAN STAUBER _ In a game marked by the mud and slime of the Hamilton College spring weekend, the stickmen lost to a fine Clarkson team 10-4. The game was punctuated by the sloppy play of the two teams and extreme difficulty in handling the ball during a teeming downpour. Hamilton controlled the ball for a significant share of the first period, but was unable to score. It was evident that neither the attackmen nor the midfielders were taking enough shots. By the end o f t he second period, Hamilton trailed 6-1, the.result of 5 goals scored when the defense was a man down. Early in the third period, Hamilton staged a brief rally closing the gap to 6-3. But two quick scores put the contest away for Clarkson and the rest of the game was simply a matter of playing out the time. On T h u r sday April 27, Hamilton traveled to Ithaca to meet a classy Ithaca College lacr osse team. Ithaca's high powered offense was centered around the three high scoring. attackmen , Jim Shaw, Ted Greaves, and Bob Egan. All three topped the division in scoring. Hamilton played carelessly and made costly mistakes. Ithaca

What were these two particular phrases? 2. What 4 pitchers hold the A.L: record for most consecutive victories (the record is 16)? 3. What players started in the Yankee outfield beside DiMaggio and Keller in late months of 1948? 4. The Chicago Cub's of the early 1900's possessed the most famous double play combination of all time (Tinker to Evers to Chance) and one of the greatest pitchers of all times, known for a deformity of his pitching hand. Who was this pitcher? 5. In one of baseball's most memorable moments, Grover Cleveland Alexander struck out Tony Lazzeri with the bases loaded in the final game of the 1926 World Series. However, the strikeout pitch was neither "Old Pete's" f�mous fastball nor his curve, but rather an off-speed pitch called for by what catcher? Answers for 4/28/72: 1. Jim Tobin 2. Carl Hubell 3.

It was a see saw game as first Hamilton would score. and then Alfred. The Hillmen were able to stay even.with their classy opponent by slowing down play and controlling the ball in their offensive end. This eventually shook up the Alfred team, slowed their tempo and upset their rhythm. They were forced to rush their passes, which added to their mental mistakes. Key goals were scored by Harvey Knowles, Ned Collum, Jon Berry and Nat Follansbee.

HILL GOLF TEAM IMPRESSIVE The Blue Golf team ·had four matches last week, all resulting in victories. Here are all the results. For the full story see Doug Wright's article in next week's Spectator. Last Saturday the Hill entertained Harpur, whom they sent home with a 5-2 defeat. Al Light was medalist with a 76, while Tom Droesch helped the Hamilto_n cause with a 78. On Monday, the Continentals traveled to Utica and defeated their local rivals by 19 strokes in stroke play. Again Al Light was medalist· and freshman John Hannon had a respectable 76. Continuing their busy week, Hamilton played LeMoyne on Wednesday and handled them neatly 7½-½. Guess who was medalist?• That's right, Al Light again; he shot an incredible par 70 to lead both teams. Scott Bellmane had a 75 to his credit. Finishing off the week of victories, the Hillmen traveled to St. Lawrence yesterday and gained a satisfying victory, 5-2. You won't believe it but Al Light was again medalist, compiling a card of 76. Tim Jones helped the Hamilton cause with a 78. The golf team now boasts a fine slate of 5 victories against 1 defeat. This week sees Hamilton in one match -- home against Cortland next Thursday. HAMILTON BASEBALL The University of Rochester handed the Hill Batmen a 7-4 defeat last Friday in the Kodak City. It was the only game played this past week; Wednesday's game against Hobart being cancelled. The con_sistent fielding of the U. of R. team proved to be the deciding factor. The Yellowjackets had one error while Hamilton tallied 4 to their discredit. In the hitting department, the Blue held their own; matching Rochester's 9 hits. Charlie Whittemore collected 3 hits while Captain Dudley Humphrey went 2 for five for his efforts. Andy Sopchek had the only long ball of the day for the Hill with 2 run triple. Steve Green turned in another fine pitc,hing performance, tabulating 12 strikeouts. Despite his fine efforts the team has been unabl� to hand him a victory. The trouble still seems to be nested in mental errors and lack of steady practice. Next week Murphy's nine have a 3 game schedule. Tomorrow they travel to take on Hobart. Tuesday, Union invades the Hamilton diamond at 3:00, and Thursday the Hill is again on the road at Hobart.

Comment: 3 Point Pea ce Proposal Suppo rt it to Escape Viet Melee BY MELISSA FAST Af ter over a decade of U.S. military involvement in Indochina we, as concerned people are still asking what can we do to try and work on a meaningful program which could end the war? I think that our only hope now is to try and get McGovern elected by going down to the local campaign headquarters and just volunteering for a few weeks. In line with this, we must try to push through a serious peace proposal, which Senator McGovern has signed and is beginning to speak about, and work to give such a proposal voter support. Such a program is the Three Point Peace Proposal, initiated by Wayne Morse and Ernest Gruening and written by Daniel Ellsberg. It is concise and practical and corresponds to the Nor th Vietnam�se 7 Point program. No candidate such as Richard Nixon or Hubert Humphrey who has not signed this program, deserves support and the vial?ility .: of this program hinges only on the nomination of McGovern. The proposal is as follows: 1. W it h i n t w e nty four hours of the Inauguration, the next President will end_ all air, ground and naval operations in Indochina. 2. Upon taking office, the next President will announce a date not later than April 20, 1973, by which the withdrawal from Indochina of all remaining U.S. personnel will be completed. The process of withdrawal will begin immediately, will be phased with the return of U.S. prisoners, and will be .subject only to the reaffirmation by the other side of their commitment to safe conduct for withdrawing U.S. personnel. 3. The next President will announce on Inauguration Day that the United States will no longer finance the Thieu government or any government in Saigon that keeps tens of thousands of political prisoners in jail, suppresses opposition newspapers, harasses political meetings or engages in other forms of repression which makes a peaceful political accomodation in South Vietnam impossible. All aid to the regimes of South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia which enables them to carry on the war will be terminated on February 20, 1973. 1972 is a crucial election year and the time to get involved, I believe, is this summer. Clearly, the

President's "secret plan" to end the war has led to continued hatd line aggressive policy in indochina and within recent weeks the possibility of a military confrontation w,ith the Soviet Union and Communist China. President Nixon has repeatedly made it known that he will not be the first President to suffer military defeat and now is the time for all antiwar groups to unite in a common effort to kick Nixon out of office and push for the Three Point Proposal as an alternative to four more years of war in Vietnam. Already offices are being set up to establish local Citizen's Committees to make the Three Points known as part of the McGovern platform and at the same time to start a campaign to educate local citizens against the war. Indochina Information Centers are being set up with available pamphlets, brochures, tapes, films and books on the war. Subjects such as Nixon's Southeast Asian policy, the air war, the Thieu regime and the automated battefield and anti-personnel weapons are most important to know about. If any of us at Hamilton or Kirkland want information on how to establish Citizen's Committees or to work for McGoven'i in their area I suggest they contact these groups in the next few weeks: Citizen's Committee for the Three Point Program 300 East 42nd St., 12th floor New York City, N.Y. 10021

However with the political situation in the country as tense as it is,. I also think that we have to keep making the effort and get involved while we can since we as Americans have a moral commitment to the Vietnamese people to end our aggression in Indochina.

E1DITOlRI.A.1Li Pr e s i dent Nixon, by his aggressive escalation of the Vietnamese War, has again incurred the indignation of. the American educational community. In still another misguided effort to 'win' the war, the President has pushed us to the brink of nuclear holocaust. Again the questfon is, -what can we do? As Hamilton and Kirkland students search for the answer to this question, various attitudes towards the Peace Movement become apparent. First, we would address our remarks to those who, after this latest development, are willing to shrug their shoulders and say, ·"so what, Nixon is obviously mad, and there is nothing we can do about the things he does." To these people - It is important for you to understand several things. If you sit complacently by, others will see you as supporting the Nixon plan. If you are discouraged,- then you are beaten. The American system has traditionally taken a long time to act upon the grievances of its people. If you give up now, you are only playing into the hands of those who wish to continue the bombing and blockade. A second attitude is one of frustration at

And yes, I'll tell you why. Perhaps my exposure to the a u g u st bod y has been e xt raordinary and prejudicial. Then again, perhaps it has been illuminating. The student senates of the past few years seem to be chomping at the bit for new worlds to conquer. It is my feeling that this campus would be better off if its fabled political apathy extended to the local level. Three examples rush to the writer.-1) The highly questionable reapportionment of the recent p a s t . 2 )The s e nate's rather remarkable motion of April 4, 1972 urging the administration to forcably meld the radio station (WHCL-FM) to the publications board without bothering to ask

Mellow Martins Mark Minstrels' Melodious Maze

BY JOHN BRISOTTI

STU KESTENBAUM After practicing in his room at Harpur all year, it was no doubt very exciting and fruitful last weekend for an amateur to have a chan ce to display his abilities before a warm audience. Of the 80-odd people who travelled to the Northeast Intercollegiate Folk Festival, the breadth of talent ranged from a kid from Brooklyn who couldn't remember the words to his songs, to a hip slick New York City folk rock trio who had just turned down an album offer. Whether they knew it or not they w e r e t a k i ng p a r t in a c o m parati vely y o u n g , b u t obviously permanent, tradition at Hamilton College which has gained its respectability due to the efforts of a very small number of people who each year assume responsibility for it. Be sides the difficulties of s cheduling , a d vertising, and finding judges, those who run our folk festival are faced with the additional problem of maintaining a competitive atmosphere that is fair· for those who are willing to drive all the way from Boston or New York City for what may amount to nothing more than a fifteen minute gig. (Thruway gas prices are getting more and more prohibiting these_ days.) Although

the Festival is intended for amateur performers, today, with the Musicians Union being held in a position of disregard by many musicians and club owners, that fine line between professional and amateur ·has become even finer, and a wandering troubadour can find temporarily stable weekend employment somewhere without asking for another ten dollars an hour which he will never get to spend. Man y of the finalists were of this new class of 'professional amateurs.' Bertilla Baker, Life, Cold Salmon (one of whose members has played on the same bill with Poco and Seatrain) were

c e rt a i nly per f or me r s with professional leanings. This both strenghtens an d weakens our Folk Festival. The show was of a high quality" but it also missed the type of excitement that was part of the finals of previous years. 'Life' was at ease and polished, but there was not the same vitality that there was in seeing and feeling the Dartmouth harmonica player in last year's Festival, a real amateur, receive two standing ovations. Nobody joined hands and danced circles around the gym floor to the picking of a local bluegrass band. There was nobody up on their feet this year.

But it was not to be Hamilton's day as Middlebury scored seven goals in the sec�nd half to win 10-4.

Light, Scott Belleman, and Captain Tom Droesch along with the decent but sporadic play of Tim Jones, have blended with the surprisingly solid freshmen John Hannon, Vlad Hoyt and Doug Wright, to produce the 7-1 record.

In essence, while golf is an individual_ game, the Blue t earn has parlayed individual prowess into its fine record.

The future looks bright, also, with the return of Jones, Hannon, Hoyt and Wright along with Wally Porter '74 who sat out the season with a knee injury.

LETTERSMedical Schools

To the Editor: I was distressed to see your recent editorial in the Spectator w ith regard to the poor performance of the senior class achieving the medical school of their choice. During my stay at Hamilton (1958-1961) it was by no means a "guarantee" that all or even any of the pre-meds were placed in the school of their choice. The Director of Biology at that time was an extremely powerful man a mere telephone call on his part pretty much assured the candidate a place in the medical school. But, thank God, the days of such dealings are over. Fortunately now medical schools judge each candidate on his own worth and do not empirically take the Chairman's word for it. I was one of those who had to settle for "second best" but somehow or another I survived and am now successfully i n pr-actice in Ophthamology. Many people who went to ''better" medical schools than I did not survive the rigors. Fortunately the matching plan f o r a p p l ication s has been in stituted. I dreaded makiqg multiple applications, the fees for which I could not afford. Also, the total numbers of applicants to medical schools have increased beyond comprehension making the admission's committee task that much more difficult. Alumni can, and should do their share to "help" with the admission procedure. But it will only come down to a selection of the most qualified for each seat in the entering class. That student must stand on his own two feet. Very truly yours, David M. Lieberman, M.D

Reply To the Editor: Dr. Lieberman takes what seems to us to be a very naive view in assuming that medical schools judge each candidate "on his own worth". It is in fact the case at Hamilton and probably at all undergraduate institutions, that for a sizable number of students, "contacts" play an important role in their admittance to medical sch9ols. The fact that there are many more qualified students than places available increases the extent to which medical schools use contacts as a mea n s of d eciding between candidates. Dr. Lieberman goes on to speak of a "matching plan for applications". We assume he is referring to AMCAS, the national application service to which some fifty medical schools belong. AMCAS was conceived as a means of allowing the student to write one instead of many applications and to decrease the cost of applying to medical schools. While these goals are admirable and ones we approve of, they have led to problems for both the medical schools and the applicants that may outweigh their advantages. As an application service, AMCAS has failed miserably in efficiently and quickly computerizing and sending out students' applications. Furthermore, in making it easier and d1eaper for the applicant to apply to 'more than on•e• school, A M C A S h a s significantly

contributed to the large increase in the total number of medical school applications. While Dr. L i e berm an recog n izes the pr oblems for medical school adm i ss i o n s ' c om m ittees of increased applications,. he does not realize that AMCAS is in part at fault. In fact, we know of several medical schools that have i nd icated their intentions of withdrawing from AMCAS, and this number may grow. W e b e l ie v e t h a t D r . Lieberman's conception of the m e d i c a l s c h o o l a d m i s sion's process is idealized and does not represent the true situation. We want to make it clear that we do

not want Hamilton students to be "helped" into positions for which they are not qualified. However, with the competition being what it is, the students which our p r e - m e d c o m m i t t e e has recognized a s qualified need al) the help they can get in order to remain competitive with other undergraduate students. Dr. L i e b e r m a n , in taking an unrealistic view of the admissions process, does not provide that. C o n sequently, many of our "quality" students must settle for their second choices, if they are so lucky. Ric� B. Eales '72 Eric Henley '72 Continued on page three

Musselman Follows Reinecke As Kirkland's New Chairman

BY KATHY BEDKE Francis Musselman will succeed Walter Beinecke, Jr. as the Chairman of the Kirkland Board of Trustees. Mr. Beinecke plans, however, to remain a trustee of · both Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges. Mr. Beinecke, President of the Osceola Operating Corporation, has been involved with Kirkand since its founding. He was the chairman of the Long-Range P l a n n i n g Comm ittee that recommended the establishment of an all-women's college in 1963. A ·s a r e s u l t o f t h i s r e c o m m e n datio n , h e was appointed Chairman, of the Kirkland Board of Trustees in 1965 and was instrumental in the planning of the College. Referring to M-Beinecke, President Sart1ue1F. Babbitt said, "Without him, Kirkland probably would not be in existence today." Mr. Beinecke's main concern in the planning of Kirkland was that Dean of Students R. Gordon Bingham, Jr. of flexibility. In one of his reports to the H a m i l t o n t r u stees concerning Kirkland's role toward educating women, Mr. Beinecke regarded Kirkland as "a flexible institution readv to serve the needs of a student throughout her life." In that same report, Mr. Northwestern in 1966. He spent B e i n e c k e i n d i c a t e d t he R.

Through the assistance of Mr. B ei�ecke, Kirkland developed from an idea to a full college. But

According to Mr. Musselman, the concept of an all-women's college such as Kirkland is extremely important. "I 'believe that the decision made some years ago to have a girl's college on the hilltop has been fully justified and s u c c e s s f u l . ..We've had men's education going on some 175 years on the hilltop.

Bingham to Tackle Hamilton Deanship

McGovern To the Editor: In recent weeks, I have heard that George McGovern is the only candidate who will get us out of Vietnam. This belief has gone as far as to equate an anti-war rally to a McGovern for President meeting, and certain anti-war articles in the Spectator have preached only McGovern. It is true that George McGovern is against the war. I quote from his campaign literature: "Now is the time to announce and abide by a timetable for withdrawal of all U.S. armed fore es . Until we agree to withdraw, our prisoners will not be returned, the kilJi�g will continue, and more billions of

dollars will be wasted." Hubert Humphrey has made the following statement on the same issue: "I believe that we must have a withdrawal of all of our armed forces from Vietnam and do it as rapidly as possible and to set a date for that withdrawal. It is my firm belief that by submitting a date for the withdrawal of our forces, the United States raises its chances of reaching an agreement at the Paris peace talks concerning the release of American prisoners . of war and those persons missing in action." When you come down to thinking about it, is there ·really a difference? Very truly yours, Howard Riessen '7 5

,� .

Walter Beinecke, Jr. that was only the first step: now Mr. Beinecke feels that it is time for someone else to bring in fresh views which will continue to help Kirkland futher its intellectual and social growth. It is this job which Mr. Musselman has agreed to take on as the new Chairman ofKirkland's B o a r d o f T r u s te e s . Mr. Musselman, a g ra duate of Hamilton College and a member of the law firm Milbank, Tweed, Headly and McCloy, has served on the Kirkland Board of Trustees for over a year and considers his new post as chairman a " great challenge."

realistic approach to education." Mr. Musselman feels that the type of education found at Kirkland is largely a result of the efforts of Mr. Beinecke and President Babbitt. "Mr. Beinecke and Mr. Babbitt, in my view, have accomplished wonders to bring Kirkland to the graduation of its first class." Finally, Mr. Musselman also believes that both Hamilton and Kirkland should retain their own id entities and continue their complementary roles. In his words, "Kirkland should remain a girls' college. It has its own destiny."

It seems to me we are trying to certain limitations, to prepare for her the way of their learning. it is, it seems to · represent diffe rent philosophies of education, and varied phases of women's activities First, and most important for the success of the project, one must note the enthusiasm engendered by the idea of establishing this college, and of establishing it at Hamilton . . . A second important factor is the urgent need for a college which not only maintains high academic standards for women, but which has a forward looking, realistic approach to educating a woman for the kind of life whe will lead when she leaves college. Institutions exist which well fulfill one or the other of these two functions, but it is the belief of the Advisory Committee that this new college could be unique in combining them. A completely new look can thus be taken at liberal arts education in relation to the needs of young women at the present time. The large majority of college women now marry. . . No one would deny that a married woman owes her first allegiance to her husband, her children and her home; nor that she finds her greatest happiness and the fullest expression of her talents in meeting her responsibilities to them. H o w e v e r , t h e nature of t h e se responsibili ties is not always well understood. . . Moreover, it seems clear that intelligent, dedicated women are needed to man the professions which at the moment are gravely understaffed, and which minister to the deepest needs of our society: teaching, medicine, social and welfare work, library work and nursing. The following is a series of excerpts from the report of a committee organized in March, 1964, to advise the Trustees of Hamilton College on the formation of a school for women. Headed by trustees K e e hn and Beinecke and Hamilton President McEwen, the committee made some eight pages of recommendations in September of that year.There is no need to describe current conditions here for the sake of comparison; however, excerpts from a commentary made by Kirklandi President Babbitt in April, 1972 have been included in italics.

MR. BABBITT: I suspect that this will continue to be true {that the large majority of college women marry], but it is significant that, as our students enter the college, they are not entertaining the prospect of marriage during college nor shortly thereafter, which used to be the ~pattern. We have not been at it long enough to know precisely how this will hold in practice, but it is sign ificant that a very few of our students have married during the four years of our history. Many of our students would now take exce_ption to the statement: "No-one would deny that the married woman owes her first allegiance to her husband, her children and her home ... {etc.} This is certainly unacceptable to many who have become interested in the contemporary Women's Movement. The college is, I believe, trying to say to its students that the most important thing is the type of person they become, including their ability to "cope" w i t h both professional and family situations. ;;;;

The Aims of a Hamilton Coordinate College for women are thus: 1. To produce a woman who enjoys the process .of learning 1 in whatever . situation ' ' life places her..

educate a woman and leave to her the option of whether she will be a wife and a mother.. Third, one of the aims of the college was to produce active women, and I think we are attempting that one. It is interesting to note that the Committee members specifically suggest that one of the ways of doing this is to encourage the introduction of what is now called Women's Studies.... What we have done is to try to introduce into our curriculum materials relating directly to women historically and contemporaneously, and by other means, such as our recent women's conference, to sensitize our students and ourselves to the nature of women and their role in our society. The fourth aim has to d� with the fWeparation of our students for careers, and I think we rank well with the best of liberal arts colleges in this regard. . . • Ok.­ counseling and placement program must be developed in prder ;to show women that Imovement into busi_ness� and industryJ IS ·a natural and possible path /QT t/ae.m, as well. ·

MAY 25, 1972 expect its students to take some of their w·ork in Hamilton's courses. While t h e new college w o uld acknowledge no obligation to enrich Hamilton's curriculum where its course offerings are slim, the common needs of the two colleges would be considered in the development of curriculum and the appointment of faculty. If, for example, the new college chose to appoint a botanist to its faculty ( there is none at Hamilton), that decision would be made by the new college, but there would be consultation with Hamilton's biologists and faculty com m ittees about his usefulness to Hamilton's students. MR. BABBITT: [This paragraph] is a central one in the report. It outlines, briefly, the expectation of curricular coordination. This is a good and clear statement of position which Kirkland continues to maintain, although it is clear that Hamilton would like a far more "enforced" kind of coordination to take place. We believe it is tremendously important for each college to preserve the right to make its own curricular decisions, and we have made our Cll$e as strongly as we know how, based on precisely the kind of position which is taken in the report.

THE SPECTATOR MR. BABBITT: This point is one which has had a great deal of discussion and which remains unresolved withz"n the college community. When we started, we proposed examinations at the end of the sophomore year and at the end of the senior year. The sophomore examination although tried on an experimantal and volunteer basis, did not survive the attempt to make it legislation in the Assembly. The development of independent study, field work, and work/study programs, on the other hand, has gone nicely, offering the student a wide range of possibilities whereby academic credit can be earned. We continue to talk about the possibility of some sort of benchmark examinations, and I think the matter could be introduced again next year.

Kirkland Seniors Study Ham. Alumni BY JOAN TUCHMAN Compilation of data from a questionnaire sent to Hamilton a lumni last October is now virtually complete. Kirkland seniors Karyl Burgher and Joyce Yaffee, both sociology majors, spent the last few months in a c o m p u te r room gathering information from the survey, which formed the basis for their individual Senior Projects. Vice-President for Resources and D e v elopment Albert F. W a l l a c e and Director o f Long-Range Programs Robert B. Brooks initiated the first-time project in an effort to obtain data on the present situations of Hamilton graduates in hopes of revealing sentiments on academic and social aspects of the college. Out of 7,000 surveys distributed, c l ose to 50%, 3,185, were returned by February. Although both Karyl and Joyce worked on data collection, utilizing the service of a Colgate computer to help make sense of the answers to close to 40 questions, each, in addition, explored a particular sociological a s p e c t o f alumni. Karyl conce ntrated on relationships between undergraduate life and life now, as well as comparisons of both of these factors to alumni a c t i v i t y and support. Joyce studied another aspect, attempting to relate present political attitudes t o u n d e r g r a duate and post-graduate life. Because o f innumera bl e prob lems and complications, primarily of the technical sort, the project' s g o a l o f analy sis degenerated into more of a mere data collection. Originally, several Ha mi lt on students were to compile via a computer during Winter Study, but the delayed r e t u r n o f q u e stionnaires eliminated that project. Waiting eight hours for a response, only to have the machine shout "Fatal Error," sorting 6,000 cards by hand, trekking to Syracuse when Colgate's computer gave up - all these slowed down plans. In fact, as recently as two weeks ago, the students were still gathering data. Despite the time shortage, some hypotheses have been formulated. A few tabular results will be reproduced here, with analysis left mainly to the reader, although the delays made the work more descriptive than analytical. As to their primary focus while undergraduates at Hamilton, respondents were divided thus: I F Academic 23% 64% Social & Athletic 17% 4% Both 60% 32% It is notable that a vast majority in both groups see academics as important. Regarding undergraduate interests while at Hamilton, a further breakdown reveals the following five highest percentages, computed from the total number in each fraternity responding: Independent ELS D Phi Gry phon Theta Delt Sig

AD

DKE 24 Psi U 21 17 Chi Psi With regard to present income, the f ol l ow i n g fiv e highest percentages are now earning over $50,000 a year: AD 15% Independent 11 DKE 11 11 Sig IO Psi U Although one-third of the respondents graduated in the "60"s and another one-third in the "50"s, those surveyed do range among all living Hamilton alumni; thus, it is important to stress the fact that results apply to past graduates and should n o t b e immediately equated without qualification to the college population at the present time. With regard to the political spectrum, the more recent the graduate, the more liberal his attitude. The questionnaire used a self-labeling d evice in this instance, a d e v ice political­ scie ntists sometimes question. Graduate schools seemed to have an o v erwhelmingly liberating effect on attitudes - graduate students were seven times as likely to be liberals. Free professionals, half of those studied, were one-and-a-half times as likely to be liberal and those in political and government-oriented occupations were twice as likely. On the other hand, businessmen, composing one-fourth of the alumni, tended to be conservative, as did those involved in the natural sciences. I n g e n e r a l , g r a d u a te s concentrating more on social and athletic aspects of undergraduate life showed more conservatism in later years; those emphasizing academics, more liberal attitudes. Houses AD, Chi Psi, DKE, and Psi U, in descending order, showed somewhat more conservative tendencies than the others. The survey tends to raise other questions, such as the possible change in political attitudes after four years here. A further trend showed that the more often an alumnus attends an alumni activity, the more l i kely he is to be conservative or Republican. T h e· c o mputer r e v e al e d n u m e r o u s o t he r b i t s o f information. For example, 50% of the graduates' fathers attended college and 30% of the fathers went to graduate school - both sizea ble percentages. Another question showed a lack of geographical mobility among graduates; most still reside in the general area where they lived as undergraduates. In conclusion, Karyl andjoyce note the significant impact of u n d e r g r a d u a t e l i fe o n post-graduate attitudes. The study p o inted out the enormous academic orientation of Hamilton and the outstanding financial success of its alumni. In additon, Joyce summarizes by noting the more liberal tendencies of the more recent graduate, although Academic this is "nothing really shocking," 64% she explains. 36 A similar project is scheduled 35 for next year, but this time work 33 will begin in the fall, thus 3o _ . hopefully erasing this year's Social & Athletic problems and resulting in a 28 ' · snmewhat, l' +i more finished product. . · 25
