BY BARBARA STEIN President Samuel F. Babbitt has announced the removal of P r o f e s s or A d rian Jaffe as Chairman of the Humanities Division. He has also announced the resignation of Prof essor Eug ene Putala as Chairman of the Science Division. Both Jaffe and Putala remain on the IGrkland faculty, but _ after his removal as chairman, Jaffe was granted a - y ear's sabbatical. Babbitt said he us ed his executive power to demand J a ff e 's resignation because Jaffe's actions as chairman were threatening the welfare of the i Babbitt said he and communty. Jaffe differed in their views on the role and power of tl;>.e division chairman. According to Babbitt, Jaffe f a v o r e d stron g d i v i sional a u t o nomy, and his fervent actions in attempting to i m p lement his beliefs were detrimental to the community.

Th e President said that Jaffe solicited support from trustees in an attempt to bring them over to his way of thinking.

Jaffe's supporters among the faculty, however, claim Jaffe was fighting to save the school, to bring the Kirkland ideal of education closer to th e Kirkland reality. They say Jaffe favored strong d i v isional autonomy because only someon e closely conn ected with a division is in the proper position to make decisions regarding faculty hiring and curricula. According to members of the Humanities Division Jaffe was f i g h t i ng "anti-acade m ic" tendencies within the school, tendencies to stress the public relations image of the college rather than the actual quality of the instruction. They_ deny that Jaffe sought out the trustees, and say rather that two trustees asked Jaffe to confer with them. Professor Putala stated he shared Jaffe's beliefs, and that J a f f e 's forc e d resignation represented to him the manner in which th@ school was going. Professor Adrian Jaffe. He said he did not agree with this manner, and had lost "confidence in the l eadership of "' the college." Instructor of Linguistics Stuart N.

Scott said he had not agreed with Alliance goal of 2.5 percent of the � policies of the many gross capita r increas e in pe school, and that Jaffe's forced national product each year. resignation was the "last straw."

BY DONNA ORENSTEIN Once upon a time there was an academic community and this community was dedicated to the proposition that the main concern of a college is to educate. This community saw their ideals imprinted in a catalogue and followed their dreams to an isolated spot atop a hill and said this is where we will make a fresh start, this is where we will learn and teach each other.This community is a vanishing race at Kirkland today. Everyone who came to Kirkland from its highest adminis_trators to its janitors and constructions workers hoped to make their mark and shape the future of a growing institution.This is healthy, flexible, and perfectly natural.What is unfortunate is that the academic ideals of the institution have been hopelessly sacrificed in favor of the petty political goals of various members of the academic community. The rooming situation this year is a horrendous one.To those incoming freshmen who are horrified by the lack of · space let me assure you that the pioneer spirit which we joke about was once a vital moving force in this institution.I feel it's safe to say that few people who truly belong at Kirkland would have complained about crowded living quarters had the class sizes not been likewise overcrowded.The figures on paper may lie but size of our classes do not.Kirkland girls spend a majority of their time in large classes. This fact and many others are openly denied in the type of double think which has become a way of life at Kirkland.The Kirkland student does not have to attend class and yet she fails to receive credit if she does not.The Kirkland student does not receive grades and yet a no credit serves as a failure on her record.The Kirkland student is to be vitally involved in the governance of her college and yet the assembly is merely the shell of the political arena which controls the policy of the institution and . the students are mere pawns of various interested parties. To those of you who are baffled by the ch�ges which have taken place at Kirkland over the summer, let me warn you that those members of the academit community who have left or stepped down are not the last to go.Others are packing their bags in silence and are looking for a fresh start.If we let them go Kirkland will be as it began - a catalogue and a bowl of dust. I implore those students who are still interested ip. obtaining the education Kirkland has promised them, to involve themselves and the excellent new members of our faculty as well, in cleaning house and getting the politics out of Kirkland. Then perhaps we can get down to business.

Co-ordination

The removal of Adrian Jaffe from the Kirkland administration has left many questions unanswered.It has caused two other resignations in the faculty and the community is confused. Should the division be autonomous? Should the College limit the authority of the chairman of a division? How much is Kirkland concerned with its public image? The Community must begin at once to search for answers.

For three years the administrations of Hamilton and Kirkland have been arduosly trying to solve t h e problems of coordination between the two colleges.In one swift move, the college bookstore has shown more ingenuity in solving and considerable perception into the nature of the problems of coordination.Isn't it good to know, thanks to the introduction of coordinate notebooks, that if through nothing else, the colleges meet at the "i"?

Hello again everyone. This report emanates from the third floor of a crowded tenement known as Gryphon. Yes, I can certainly testify to the fact that this semester will certainly be a test of many students' perseverence. And let� face it, there is no immediate relief in sight.

Other less important improvements such as hot food and drinking water at McEwen can wait for awhile. The Colleges could also aid those students presently enjoying the benefits of the fourth floor dormitories in Bristol by removing some of the bunk beds and providing those students with desks and dressers. And how about when the heavy studying begins? Perhaps the college could keep the library or Bristol open until 2 AM to allow students with crowded rooms to study later. Also, an effort could be made to keep rooms in Bristol clear of classes and meetings as much as-possible. Every little bit helps. On a lighter note, let me urge all new freshmen to become acquainted with a quaint and classy place-the Rock; officially, Pierce's Tavern. A great drinking spot.

SEPTEMBER 16, 1970

Editor's Note: Below are two letters received by President Chandler during the summer c o m menting on the Commencement Weekend and the Special Issue of The Spectator. · They represent radically differing views among the al umni.

Pro Dear President Chandler: On our return to the Coast, here was the closing issue of the Hamilton �ectator dated May 31, 1970. I don't know your or the faculty's reaction to it. I was impressed with what it told in general of the graduating class and of what was implicit in the ar ticles and letters. The contribut o r s had become educated during a most hectic period. And implicitly they had to acknowledge their thinking to the college and, in doing so, revealed how it had evolved into a better educational institution. It must be especially difficult for alumni no longer in intimate t o u c h with the college community to comprehend what goes on today on a campus, just as it must be difficult for faculty (,r st udents to understand alumni, let alone each other. A little objective thinking 'on the part of each of the three groups might help. Students, faculty, and alumni can never be in complete agreement because no one group of individuals can share intimately with another one. p erspective since all perspectives on any complex situation are bound to differ. But more important are two thoughts. First, we should -have differences of opinion or society would be stultified. Second, we as individuals and groups will learn more and profit more as w e try to listen to and comprehend each other. Only then may we all see to it that, rather than force and reaction, reason with freedom prevails. Speaking as one alumnus, I must say of today's students that they .are not, of course, as wise as they think they are. But I must also say that they are more serious and earnest than prior generations were when they were young. William H. Freeman, '26

Carter did not give a definite date for the tax, admission is $1; without $2. opening of the dining hall, however, he did indicate that it would be ready for use prior to t h e c o m p l etion of t h e dormitories m the Bundy complex. Until that time., the members of the three downhill fraternities - Delta Phi, Gryphon and TKE, will be eating at either Commons or McEwen. When the Bundy facilities are completed, a meal ticket will allow the student to - eat at any of the three dining rooms. This year , Service Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of Del Monte Corporation, has replaced the Saga Food Corporation as the food service on the hill. As a result of the new contract, three student Boards of Stewards will be_ formed. They will inlude: 1) a Student S e n a t e s u b c o mm ittee representing students eating at Commons; 2) a committee of Kirkland girls representing the McEwen dining hall and 3) members of the three downhill fraternities and an independent representing the Bundy dining facilities. Robin Kenyatta · The Boards of Stewards "will

review menus, make suggestions for special dinners and for improvements in the food program, act in an advisory capacity to the Colleges and the con tractor, and_ consult on m a t t ers relating to the contract." - The contract also states: "It is expected that recommendations made by the Boards will be acted upon favorably unless the contractor can clearly show why the recommendations are unacceptable." In addition to the student Boards of Stewards, there will be a n administrative committee consisting of Controller Ronald F. MacDonald, Associate Dean Hadley S. DePuy and Kirkland Dean of Housing Elizabeth C.

Bouch. This group will have the final word in presenting the student recommendations to the food service. Mr. Carter said that Service Systems Co rporation was sel ected on the basis of competitive bidding with other corporations. He indicated that the "College felt that they offered the best service for the best price." The new contract provides 19 meals per week, including b runches· on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 - 12:30. There will also be a continental breakfast served from 8-10, after the regular breakfast, during the week.

Continued from page 3 Faculty housing too involves "imposition", and I think it is unnecessary. This problem may be one that would indeed be desperate at another college, but it is far from affecting Kirkland so. We

can take care of our own, regardless of impositions. I think you have ventured too far in presuming to name the "greatest imposition" for a Kirkland girl and in attempting to foster a spirit -which is far from true in the students of this college. Sincerely yours, Janet C. Watrous '72

Advice To the Editors: M a y a 1921 Co lumbia graduate beg the opportunity of passing a helpful suggestion to your student readers who hope to influence the election of an anti:war, anti-military Congress this autumn. It is apparent that chronologically I am almost 45 years past 30, but those who know me well will attest, I believe, that in sympathies, attitudes and objectives I am well under 30. A publication has appeared here -nearby which I believe will prove useful to those · of you who plan to work for a human-centered Congress in the upcoming elections. Many of you nearby have doubtless discovered the August 1970 issue o f T h e Progressive Magazine, founded in 1909 by Senator Robert M. LaFollette, Sr . ( 408 W. Gorham St., Madison, Wis. 53703), but perhaps not those in more distant universities and colleges. I hasten to add that I have no personal or business interest or relationship in The Progressive in any remote way except that I sha r e with you and The Progressive the passion for world in which human beings and human values are first priorities. Besides many items in this issue of special interset to those holding this purpose, there is one article in particular which should have practical value in 1 chec k i ng, upon incumbent Congressional candidates and confronting all candidates on the significant issues. That is, "Nixon's Silent House of Hawks; a documented analysis of the anti-war voting records of Republicans and Democrats in strategic districts" by Prof. Garrison Nelson;Director of the Political Data Laboratory of the University of Vermont, a noted student and investigator of the history and voting patterns of the United States House of Representatives. These are detailed tables of the real meaning of the votes of individual C o n gressmen of . significant issues relating to the war and the military in general. This i s s ue in undoubtedly available in the college libraries, and from the publisher at 7 5 cents, as are reprints of this particular article at a nominal cost. Prof. Nelson shows that the Hou se "i� dominated-over­ whelmed, in,-by a silent,

hawkish majority which enables Presidnet Nixon to get what he wants in pursuit of his aggressive foreign policy." Quite obviously effort to reorient Congress and government pol ice toward h u m a n i s tic and nonmilitary goals must be concentrated on the House. Student hu manists must direct effort not just at ending the Vietnam War but at the whole drift toward militaristic a n d a uthoritarian power accumulation. It is time that Congress and all of us faced frankly the, basic question of whether an organized military establishment of any kind is w i t h .a c o m p a t i b l e human-centered society in this age of super-technology. In this connection see also the testimony of Prof. Matthew Neselson of Harvard before the Senate F or e i g n R e l�t ions Committee on our policy for chemical and bacteriological warfare (reprinted in Bulletin of the Atomic £:ientists, January 1970) and the new book, ReasonA wake; S:ien_ce for Man by Prof. Rene Dubos, Columbia University Press, 1970. There are cogent reasons why a military establishment is not only unnecessary for security but a factor constantly jeopardizing security. Student humanists need to think this question through and present the startling f a c t s convincingly to government, legislators, and the public generally. The nonpartisan but liberal Committee for an Effective Congress in its 1970 Report asserts that we are at a cross.road of d e c i s i o n w h ether governmental policy is, in_ the coming era, to be constrained by the skillful, organized efforts of Messrs, Nixon, Mitchell and Agnew, supported by a $5.8 million fund for a TV campaign "p o l itics of toward a a g a i n s tn e s s" or as one Republican official frankly calls it, "a ctive negativism;" or whether human rights and human beings are to have priority across the board. It is only a short half-step from this "a ctiv e n e g a t i v ism" to a m i l i t a r y - b a s ed a uthoritarian government. If the values enunciated Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln and the others like them are to be saved, history if truly written must signally honor the students and young people who are the saving conscience of the world, steadying us as we run the rapids of change while little old men occupy seats of power and play with awesome weapons supplied by a super-technology. I wish you well this fall. Yours for a livable human world, John M. Chancellor.

Steering Committee Stresses Continued· Pol.itical Action Editor's note: The Spectator prints the following column to review for the freshmen the a c tivities that went on at Hamilton and Kirkland during the strike last May. Mr. Oakes served as co-chairman of the Na t i o n al Bond Redemption Committee during the strike. BY DENNIS OAKES H a m i l t o n s t u d ents have generally been thought of as apathetic· towards events off the Hill, and much of what occurred on campus, as well. Lasty May was unique in the history of this 177 year old institution. May 3, 1970 was a serene spring Sunday_ at the College. No one could have imagined that the following night there would be 900 Hamilton and Kirkland students meeting to discuss the possibility of a campus 'strike.' As numerous events took place in the three weeks that followed, Hamilton men expressed concern and displayed intense involvement that surprised everyone. In late May students elected eight Hamilton and Kirkland students to serve as this year's 'Steering Committee for Political Action.' The Committee will initiate and direct any politically oriented activities that occur on the Hill this year. The political mood of the campus this fall will determine, to a large extent, what directions the Committee will take. Although there were some twenty committees active last May, there are no concrete plans for the reinstitution of most. A continuation of draft counseling

M uch of the enthusiasm during the May 'strike' activities c a m e from ' m id dle class, Establishment-oriented students' incited by two specific �ajor incidents. Many had not been actively involved in any type of protest before. and are not likely to b e c o m e s o a g a i n , u n l ess something else can create the excitement that the invasion of Cambodia and the killing of four Kent State students did. There is little prospect, at the present time, for any major political activity on the campus. The only possible event that might conceivably unite antiwar a c t i v i t e s n ationally is the proposed visit of South Viet Nam's Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky to the United States, in order to speak at a :victory rally' to be held in mid-October in Washington, D.C. T h e r e s p o n s e of b oth Hamilton and Kirkland faculties to the activities of last May was an extraordinary example of the understanding and trust which they have for their students. The policy statement of the Steering 'W e at C o m m i.t t e e s a i d: Hamilton and Kirkland are not striking against our schools; we are striking against the Nixon Administration.' The faculties of both ·schools recogn ized the sincerity and concern of their students and responded with positions of l e n i encY, towards academics. Hamilton's faculty stated: 'The faculty understands and has sympathy for the desire of many students to be relieved of academic responsibilities so that they may have more time and energy to devote to political activity. The faculty also believes that the academic integrity of the College must be respected and t h at a fair and intelligent measurement of the achievement of students in course work must be maintained.'

The usual schedule of classes w a s not interrupted, but numerous options were made available t'o students who found themselves unable to follow the normal academic procedures. Kirkland's faculty made clear its 'unqualified support of those s tudents whose moral imperatives have moved them to active protest.' I n ac cordance with this r e c o gn i t i o n formal c l a s s sc hedules at Kirkland were 'suspended for the academic year.' Faculty members made themselves available 'in order to work out individual patterns for completion of course work.' The positions which the Hamilton and Kirkland faculties will take this fall are not quite clear. It is almost definate that neither college will suspend classes so that students might work for political candidates or engage in any other political activity. The made

The basic position will be t h a t p olitical activities are extracurricular. The College will respect the belief of students who wish to participate in political activities, but will not g r a n t them a ny s p ec i a l compensation. A s i n the past, any arrangements that students c a n m a k e with individual professors, to redistribute their course work, will be acceptable. The policy of the Kirkland faculty seems to be one of 'no policy.' Similar to Hamilton's it will allow students to work out individual agreements with their professors, but the College will make no formal recognition of such arrangements.

Hamilton Appoints New Faculty Members Hamilton President John W. Chandler has announced two new faculty· appointments for the 1970-71 academic year. William G. Snead will assume the duties of assistant professor of economics. Joel W. Tibbetts will be chaplain of the College and assistant professor of religion. Mr. Snead comes to Hamilton from the Center for Chinese Studies of the University of California at Berkeley, where he has studied both economics and the Chinese language since 1966. He was an Acting Instructor in the University's Department of E c o n o m i c s for the Spring Quarter of 1970, and will complete work for his doctorate in economics this year. He has received the B.A. and the M.A. degrees in economics from the Univ<;rsity of California. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, Mr. Snead received a Regents' Fellowship in Economics in 1968 and holds the Certificate and Intermediate Certificate in C h i n e s e from the Y a le U n i v ersity Institute of Far Eastern Languages. Hamilton's new chaplain,Joel Tibbetts, will hold a post just created to replace the office of dean of the Chapel. Mr. Tibbetts has received a B.A. in English Lit erature from Swarthmore College and a B.D. from Vanderbilt Divinity School. At present he is working on a doctorate in American Church History. He has been awarded a Danforth Foundation Seminary I n t ern ship , a Van d e r b i l t

McNutt, who began her undergraduate education at the University of Alabama, is a graduate of Spring Hill College, 'a small Jesuit school' in Alabama. S h e found the atm osphere at Spring Hill 1 intellectually stimulating, and is glad to be back at a small college ' w here more communication seems possible.' She feels that good relations among faculty, a d m inistrators, and students 'have a better chance' at a small college. McNutt began college as an English-journalism major, but found herself 'seduced away' by Plato, and switched to a major in philosophy. Though she has been involved principally in academics, McNutt

describes herself as 'involved and con.cernoo' about current social problems. As a student during the 'civil rights crisis' at the University of Alabama in the early . '60's she found '...that mere expression of one's beliefs put one in the position of mak i n g a definitive moral committment.' She has worked with a federally funded group of black and white educators trying to solve the problems of black and white education in the South. McNutt, a native southerner,

Twenty-two years old and a graduate of Kalamazoo College in Michigan, Mr. Chapman has studied at the Universtiy fo Sierra Leone in West Africa and at Colgate University, where he recently received his M.A. in student personnel administration and guidance. At Colgate, he also served as head of freshman residence and as an intern in the financial aid office. One o f Mr. Chapman's immediate goals is to coordinate job placement services on the Hill. All jobs funded by either school will be filled through his office. Mr. Chapman stressed that Hamilton's and Kirkland's scholarship ail budgets are still separate and non-transferable. The administrator estimated that, including state and federal loans and grants, jobs and school scholarships, Hamilton men will receive more than $800,000 in scholarship aid this year.

Library Reroutes Traffic; Roads Closed, Restricted BY FRED AXELROD The changes in traffic patterns on campus due to the construction of the new library are permanent. The road around the main quadrangle will not be reconnected to the other sides of the campus even when the library is completed. Vice President and Prov:ost Paul D. Carter said that to connect the roads would require the destruction of a number of beautiful trees and would create an undesirably long, straight stretch of road. Mr. Carter also mentioned the possibility of banning all cars from the main quad when the library . has been completed.

Present plans call for the road to become one way. The plan for the library has been altered. Mr. Carter said that activity from friends, alumni and s t u d e n t s s h o w e d s om e discontent with the appearance of t h e b u ilding, and the 'silo-like' exterior stairwells have been redesigned. A rendering of the new plans has not yet been made available. Since the parking lot behind the Science Building has' been taken over for workmen, more parking space for students has been made behind and along side Dunham Dormitory. The road around D un ham will also become one way to accomodate an increase in traffic.

W h en asked who w a s ultimately responsible for the delay in completing Bundy, Vice President and Provost Paul D. Carter refused to comment. The reasons for the delay are several unexpected strikes by construction trade unions, especia lly the sheet metal workers and the roofers. Because of the interdependence of the unions, these lengthy strikes brought all work to a halt. Because the roofers and sheet metal workers were striking, the plasterers, plumbers, masons, carpenters, electricians, steam fitters, painters, and spe'cialty workers were unable to continue.

When it was known that the old fraternity houses would still be used, work concentrated on the Bundy Dining Hall. It should be open near 'the end of this month. Director of Planning John. H.

Di scussion of a Progress Report of the Trustee Ad Hoc Committee on Student Life occupied much of the time of the 1970 Higby Conference which concluded last Thursday at Big Moose Lake in the Adirondacks. The interim report, which w a s released in A ugust, recommends the establishment of a pluralistic social-residential system at Hamilton that would provide reasonable alternatives to the fraternity sy;tem. F r aterniti e s � 'should be allowed to continue as an option in the new system," as long as they are financially solvent and confoqn to college standards of health, safety and responsibility, the report stated. A l s o inc luded in t h e r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s was the r e m o d e l i n g o f Dunham Dormitory and other college housing to accomodate small groups in a "cluster" concept around centrally located lounges and kitchen facilities. Specific p o ints in the report were discussed in small groups, then returne<;l to the general session for further consideration. Among several specific points that fostered dispute during group and general meetings was. a committee recommendation that the College "not provide financial aid, either directly or indirectly, to fraternities owning residential houses." Such a policy, if approved by the Board of Trustees, would mean that houses that closed their doors could not hope to have the college buy their physical plant, as was the case with Gryphon, TK.E and D Phi. "If a fraternity, for financial or other reasons, is no longe.r able to maintain its house, the College would encourage it to

Babbitt made the announcement a t t h e Kir kland Assembly Meeting held Wednesday night. H e a ls o a nn o u n c e d that K i r k l a n d ' s b udget is now operating on a projected five year deficit. After discussions with the architect and an examination of the construction to date, the Physical Planning Committee of the Kirkland Board of Trustees reported it is unlikely that the November 15 deadline would be met. No new date has been set. The contractors, however, still feel that it is possible to meet the November 15 deadline though school authorities feei the evidence shows otherwise. Concern over the delay and the consequent overcrowding has led Kirkland to initiate legal action to speed up the construction. The completion of the new dorms was originally scheduled for the opening of this semester. Though a u t h orities anticipated a deficit for the college's opening years, next year's deficit will exceed original estimates. The administration is not yet sure of the exact effect the deficit will have on the o p e r a t ion of the college. Regarding Kirkland's financial situation Mr. Babbitt said, "We have to recast the way we do things in ord�r to do them less expensively."

Rep. Bond To Speak Oct. 8 In First Jessup Lecture BY DAVID BEHNKE Julian Bond, co-founder of t h e S t u d en t N o n v i o l e n t Coordinating Committee, will speak on October 8 at 8 p.m. in t h e H a m i l t o n C oll e g e Gymnasium. Bond will be the first in this year's series of four speakers, sponsored by the Root Jessup Public Affairs Council. Bond, a member of Georgia's Ho use o f• R e p r e s entatives, secured his seat after winning a Supreme Court Case which upheld his ri�ht to memb�_!"§hip�1:he second sp�jt.k.-ef -�f the year will be Willian Kuntsler, the defense a t t o r n ey for the "C hicago 7". Kuntsler will lecture o n No vember 11. Consumer crusader Ralph Nader will then speak on March 2, and Republican Senator John Tower of Texas will conclude the series on April 14. R oot Jessup President Arthur Rynearson '71 commented that efforts were made this year to present " a more balanced group of speakers. There is something for everybody." Rynearson further stated that he hoped that "people will take the series as a package; each spea ker com p l e m e n t s the others." Lecture tickets are $2 each, and the series of four is being offered at the reduced rate of $6. Tickets may be purchased mornings and afternoons in the Bristol Campus Center. The fees for the speakers are higher than last year, since the men are in greater demand. Ticket prices were kept the same as last year, however, with the h o p e o f l arger c r o w d s . Disappointing crowds at two of last year's lectures created an overall deficit of $ 700. This lass was funded from a trustee fund set up for this purpose. However, unless this year's series is a monetary success, there probable w'ill be no series next year. Speak�rs for the 1969-70 series were Timothy Leary , B il l R u s s ell, Dick Gregory, and Adam Clayton Powell. Heavy publicity is planned in the Clinton and Utica areas, and tickets are being sold are several neighboring colleges. Root Jessup desperately needs manpower t o sell these tickets.

Representative Julian Bond

T h e P r e s id e n t p ar t ially attributed the college's increased �e x p e n d i t ures and decreased income to the present economic condition of t h e n ation. Stressing the decline of stock prices, Mr. Babbitt explained that Kirkland's trustees and beneficiaries are in tightened financial condition, and with interest rates high and money generally "tight," colleges have suffered financially. The President also menfomed that "The kind of education we try to give is e�pensive for the coll ege." He a d d ed that Kirkland's problems are far from unique; most colleges are facing equivalent financial conditions. Even Columbia University, the President cited, showed an $11 million deficit last year. The Assembly elected David Miller, Instructor in History, as its Chairman; Leslie Swid, '72, as its Vice-Chairman; and Lina Newhouse, '72, as its Secretary.

Faculty Decides To Continue . Classes Through November Election Period BY JOSEPH MAURIELLO The faculty recently decided that the College will not qlter its calendar to allow time for students to work for peace candidates m the November Elections. The faculty policy also states that students having a "genuine" and "unusual" desire to engage in political activity, may discuss the matter with instructors, the Deans, or the Academic Council. Sue�.. a student, according to Dean \Vinton Tolles, can "expect to teceive sympathetic and personal consideration." The Faculty decision, noted Professor of Geology Donald B., Potter., was prefaced by the recognition that college students as citizens have the right and privilege to engage in proper political a ctivity. In fact, conscientious students, said Potter, are "encouraged" to

pursue such activity. ,.. According to Tolles, the Faculty as a whole a greed that "responsible college students, like otlier adults, must adjust their activity to the demands of other assign ments. The primary objective of the student is to learn a nd t o satisfy the curricular demands placed upon him." A c c o r d i n g t o Tolles' evaluation of the recent Higby Conference, student sentiment is similar to the Faculty's. T h e c o n c e n s u s a m o n g· Faculty interviewed is that the policy is . ip. accord with the p r i n c i p l e t h at political involvement is a personal, rather than a .collective decision.

Lewis stated: "The more sensitive, reflective students are now as king themselves, in a personal sense, what it means to be involved in politics." Lewis was asked whether the faculty statement would curtail concerted action by stude�ts and, thus, the effectiveness of s t u d e n t c a n v a s s i ng.

Subsidies Discontinued BY MARK WEICHMANN Director of PhysiGal Plant J o h n J . L e tze l t er h a s discontinued the college's policy of supplying students with paint requested for use in repainting rooms. This new policy 'has ruffled the feelings of some students, for there have been over forty requests for paint so far this year. The only requests accepted were those received within the first week of school. Mr. Letzelter said ·that the cause for this new policy generally extended from the abuse of the privilege. Reasons he gave included "sloppy jobs" that freque�tly ended in the painting of the desks, dressers and other furniture supplied by the college. Other infractions included the taking but not returning of equipment, taking paint without permission from the Dean, and in some instances, the use of false names. Letzelter summed up his view saying; "You try-tq compromise for the eight out of ten that do a good job, but for the rest, well, they just mess tliings up." Associate Dean Hadley S. DePuy when questioned, placed the decision for this action on Mr. Letzelter. The Dean was in disagreement with the way C?ntinued on page 10

New Rushing Rules Announced by IFC

BY KEN GIVENS New rushing rules will be in effect from the opening of the College until November 15. The Student Rushing Committee will then announce rules which will govern rushing from that date through rushing weekend. Last year, Student Senate delegated' authority to the Student Rushing Committee of the IFC to prepare its own rusning rules for 1970-71. The Student Rushing Committee, chairmaned by Jim Morgan '71, presented the new rules to the Senate on May 15, 1970. Basically, the new rushing rules differ little from the old ones. The only substantial c;hanges are as follows: (1) Sunday afternoon rushing parties have been eliminated· in favor of Saturday night parties. (2) The scheduling of two

weekends of house architectural tours has been reduced to one weekend of such tours. I n ·a d d i t i o n , M o r g a n announced two small changes in M o n d a y c q apel. Previously, houses would not be open ..to freshmen until October 19. This date has been corrected to October 5. Secondly, the three downhill houses p resently serving as dormitories are now open to freshmen. Chairman Morgan says that the Rushing Committee has just begun to discuss the formulation of the rules which will effect rushing after November 15. Problems such as house quotas and the general nature of rushing will have to be resolved. The Student Rushing Committee hopes to make rushing a more natural process than it has been in pa�t years.

Editor's note: The following is a memo­ randum from President Samuel F. Babbitt to the Kirklana Community. The memo was c£rculated September 17 in response to the Spectator's trea-tment of the removal With the opening of the new year we must reaffirm the of Professor Jaffe as Chairman of the Assembly's role, as a body ".. .involving the entire Humanities Division.

Kirkland, Assembly

Under-Reaction

the prevailing and beneficial movement towards wider participation which 1s becom ing increasingly apparent m academic as well as other forms of administration. . At Kirkland, in particular, we are attempting to build a system in which there is broad involvement in decision-making, and it has been a concern of many on the faculty that their voice be heard in curricular matters relating to the college as a whole. The faculty is currently engaged in d i scussions concerning the mechanics which will make this possible, and I look forward to t h e adoption of new consultative and advisory procedures in the near future.

In Response In writing the article about the forced, resignation of Profess,or Jaffe, we pursued the story in an attempt to print the truth for our readers. That, afterall, is the purpose of a newspaper-even a college newspaper. We do not feel we distorted the truth. We merely printed the facts as they were presented to us. Any statements attributed to Mr. Babbitt in the article, Mr. Babbitt did in fact relate to us. Comments have filtered back to the Spectator that our article favored Professor Jaffe's pos1t10n and was sympathetic toward him. Any slant was unintentional. Because Professor Jaffe was unavailabl ., for comment we sought the views of those faculty members closest to him. Had Jaffe been on the campus, we would not have questioned these professors. For that reason we did not feel it necessary to seek the views of those faculty membeFs who opposed Mr. Jaffe. We were not polling the faculty. Above all, we saw no need to interview administrators and prof�ssors who favored President Babbitt's position. _at no time did we· consider this controversy as a conflict between the President and- Professor Jaffe. It has been suggest�d. to us that stories as controversial as the :r emoval of Profe-ssor Jaffe- should not be printed because they endanger the well-being ,of Kirkland. It is true that th� . _Spec?�tor exists. f9r the benefit of Kirkland. It. fosters Kirkland by pursuing the· truth about.campus is�ues and printing the facts for its readers,_ the College community. We fail to see how we could help the communtiy by hiding the facts. If what we printed in the article was not in fact the truth, it is because we were not told the truth. If we distorted the facts, then our sources gave us a distorted version of the truth. If we have not printed all the facts, we will continue to search until we•­ have found the truth. Only then can we benefit the Kirkl3.;11.d community. ,

K y' s plans w e r e f i r st announced on September 4 by C a r l McIntire, a right-wing fundamentalist radio preacher from N e w' Jersey who is planning the Victory in Vietnam rally, similar to one he organized last April. The Nixon Administration, as reported by the Washington commercial press, was all aflurry when the announcement was made. Not only did they claim they knew nothing about it, but they were pretty much against it--the event gives the anti-war m o v e m ent a r e a d y - m a d e organizing point for early fall actions. Furthermore, it may louse up Nixon's delicate balance he hopes t o proj ect in the upc oming November Congressional edections. It may be hard for Nixon to convince people he is really working for peace in Southeast Asia with Marshall Ky giving war rally speeches on the President's back steps. Both McIntire and Ky have issued statements verifying the originally announced plans, in spite of reported Administration pressure for Ky to cancel out. Washington-area anti-war groups have enough confidence

in the event to begin plans for a counter-demonstration. During the week of September 14 at least five major portions of the a n t i-wa r movement held meetings. The groups ranged from m o d e rate liberals to radicals, including citywide Student Mobilizing Committee and other representatives from D .C. c al leges , C �:>n t i nuing Presence in Washington ( a peace lobbying coalition), SANE and the Business Executives Move for Vietnam Peace, the Vietnam Veterans for Peace, and a group of local radicals including Chicago Eight defendant Rennie Davis. Most of these groups want to coordinate the plans that have already been made. A mass meeting to clarify strategy was scheduled for Monday night (September 21), after which the call will be made for whatever kind of action is chosen. The most likely course of action will probably include these features: * As large an action as possible, but staged to avoid the

Tibbetts Redesigns Liberal Religious Program; Promot«:S Greater Communication Among Students BY JIM McCREA T h e H a m ilton-Kir kl a n d Ch a p e 1 B oard and College Chaplain Joel W. Tibbetts have changed the Sunday evening religious pr,ogram. Each month, the Chapel Board will offer two services, one lecture, and a variety of single programs. College Chaplain Tibbetts led and' informal evening service last Sunday in the first of the programs. The service consisted of several readings, two songs, "Ge t T o g.e t h e r" a n d "Kumbayah", guitar music and a meditation g i v en by Mr. ,.Tibbetts. In the meditation, Tibbetts expressed a hope that religion will cease to be a meaningless "ob sc enity" something that people scoff at. Another part of the meditation dwelt upon the cultivation of question�ng instead of blind following. "One of the major problems on the Hill is a lack of communication," said Tiobetts. "People h o l d back their thoughts and don't talk freely to

each other." Prime examples, he e x p l a i n e d, are the presuppositions that Hamilton and Kirkland students have about each other, and which prevent meaningful cooperation between schools.

inevitable crowd comparison w i t h t h e r i g h t - w i ng d e m o n s t r a t i on. M c Intire mo bilized only 15,000 last April, but that wa-s withour Ky's presence._ And anti-war forces don't have much time to coordinate a national effort. * T h e major brun t of leadership would have to come from local D.C. people. This tactic has been endorsed by two national anti-war coalitions, the National Peace Action Coalition operationg out of Cleveland, and the newly formed Coalition Against War, Racism and Repression, which is composed mostly of people from the now-defunct New Mobe. *The counter-demonstration should avoid confrontation with the right-wingers. This wasn't a universally held belief, by any means, and wHI probably be the main issue that could prevent such diverse elements as the Youth International Pa-rty and the Business Executives Move for Vietna m Peace from appearing at a press conference to announce joint plans.

Tibbetts would also like to see m or e c o m m unicat ion between students and residents of Clinton to break down the stereo-typed ideas of "student" and "townspeople." Because his job lacks strict definition, Tibbetts hopes to try many new ideas. He hopes to / work with the volunteer service programs and the Free School. At the moment, Tibbetts feels that one of his major tasks is meeting people and learning about problems on the Hill. He can be found in 4 Kirkland Hall. On Oct ober 18, former C haplain, Collin Miller will preside over the evening services, and plans are being. d;rawn up to include a drama program in the service on November 8. The next chapel program will 'be the first in a series called "The Last Lecture" to be held once a month. President Babbitt, the first speaker, will have been asked, "Imagine you knew you were never to deliver another lecture - what would your last lecture be?" Chaplain Joel W. Tibbetts

scholarships and other forms of aid are especially difficult to obtain this year. He added that loans are more available that gifts. Several cutbacks in federal aid to education have worsened the condition. Chapman assured that, "it is less difficult to obtain aid at Hamilton than it is at most other schools. If a student c;omes to me, and can prove that he is in need of financial aid, then we will find the money for him." An examination of statistics reveals that approximately 34.4 percent of Jfamilton men recieve grant aid. This year students are r eceiving grants, loans, and w a g e s f r om j obs totalling $800,000 as compared to last year's $660,000. This figure represents an increase of 21 per cent in total financial aid over last year. Mr. Chapman cited that the increase in the number of part time jobs is partly offset by the rise in total enrollment. Chapman pointed out that "the off campus job situation is . starting to get better, and should also provide some relief for students." The increase in tuition costs from $2,000 to $2,350 annually has added to the student's financial burden. One Hamilton Student who is now receiving financial aid from the school and is holding a part time job stated, '' If my scholarship is not increased by next year, I may not be able to return to school."

Arts and Entert-atnment Beethoven B'day Inspires Review of Nine Symphonies BY RlCHARD A. KAVESH 1970 is Beethoven year. Since this year is the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's birthday, it is fitting to begin this series of classical record reviews with a discussion of recordings of his monumental nine symphonies - the cornersfone of the classical repertoire. Listed below are his nine symphonies, followed by the recording whose conductor and orchestra, in my opinion, bring out the potentialities of the score to their fullest extent. Symphony No. 1 in C Leonard Bernstein/New York Phi}harmonic. Bernstein gives a performance perfectly reflecting the duality of this symphony; he brings out the strength and the gaiety of the symphony, yet does not overlook the subtleties of it. It is an ideal perf-0rmance, full of boldness and vivaciousness, yet also r_efined and graceful. Symphony No. 2 in D Thomas Beecham/Royal Philharmonic. Beecham brings his trademarks-vitality and effervescence-�o this symphony. Bernstein is a close second with a fine, vigorous performance. In some circles George Szell's rendition has been given much praise. However, I find it boring and pedantic, as I find most of his Beethoven. Symphony No. 3 in E-flat, the "Eroica" Leonard Bernstein/New York Philharmonic. Bernstein truly grasp� the majesty and grandeur of this symphony, in which Beethoven revolutionized Classic Music, and set the standard for all future symphonies. Herbert Von Karajan is a very close second, not quite reaching Bernstin's peak of emotion and intensity. Symphony No. 4 in B-flat Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt/Vienna Philharmonic. benefits from the outstanding Vienna Philharmonic, excellent sound reproduction, and the performance of some brilliant virtuosos. Bruno Walter is a goocl second choice. Symphony No. 5 in G Herbert Von Karajan/Berlin Philh_armonic. Some say that Karajan's performance is "overblown." However, I find his performance of this titanic symphony, which has been called "the incarnation of the symphonic ideal," to be intensely dramatic, exciting, and profound. He particularly excels in the brilliant finale. No other recording can approach this one. Symphony No. 6 in F, the "Pastorale" Bruno Walter/Columbia Symphony.I Walter's recording is unparalled for its lyricism and relaxation in portraying this profound .expression of life in the country-perhpas the greatest piece of musical impressionism every written. Symphony No. 7 in A Bruno Walter/Columbia Symphony. Again, my choice in Walter. He really "gets into" this symphony, bringing to it a dynamic rendition, full of vigor. The serious, idyllic, and reflective moments of the symphony are also superbly conducted, never lapsing into sentimentality, as many other conductors are wont. Symphony No. 8 in F Herbert Von Karajan/Berlin Philharmonic Karajan gives a performance full of robust gaiety, which really brings out the lustiness in the symphony. He ably handles the more profound and powerful moments, too, but reminds us of the overall "sunny gaiety" of the work. . . ,, Symphony No. 9 in D, th� "Choral Hans Schm1dt-Isserstedt/V1enna Philharmonic For lucidity and emotional impact, Schmidt-Isserstedt cannot be beaten. This is Beethoven's most difficult symphony, summing up all that went before-nobody - really understands it. However, Schmidt-Isserstedt goes a long way in clarifying the symphony, getting to its essence, and has such solists as Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Home in the finale. The recording ex_erts a lasting impact, which I doubt will ever be surpassed.

SEC Announces Schedule; Nine Weekends of Music BY ROBERT J. KEREN Chairman of the Student Entertainment Committee Josh Simpson '72 has planned nine weekends of entertainment in contrast to the three big weekends in the past. The first of the nine �eekends brought the Robin K e n y a t ta African Music Ensemble to the Hill, on Sept. 19. This first concert was in the jazz mode, and future concerts will include rock, folk, soul and blues performances. D u r i ng Homecoming _Weekend, Oct. 2, the SEC will present the rock musical "Do Your Own Thing" in the gym. The musical, which received rave reviews by New York critics, is a parody of Shakespeare's Twelfth NigM. The Youngbloods will be here t wo weeks later for "Fall Weekend," the first of three big party weekends. The SEC has also lined up the popular folk singer Dave Van Ro�k for a mid-November weekend. Simpson has contacted James Taylor's brother, Livingston T a y l o r , for a January or

Harpur Assumes Kirkland Drama· Post As Croucher Encounters Visa Problems

Kirkland College has named R o b e r t H ar pur assistant professor of drama and joint H a mi l t on-K i r k l a n d t heater director. Roger Croucher, who was supposed to assume this post, e n c o u n t e r e d 's erious visa problems,' according to Arts C hairman _Elias Friedensohn. Croucher, an Englishman, had served as theater director at Hamilton three years ago. Harpur, who received a two year appointment, comes to Kirkland after serving as theater · director at the American College in Monaco. He act�d as the first p r odu c er-director o f · the

American Repertoire Company in New York, and as the director of the Merry-Go-Round Theater in Sturbridge Mass., a summer stock theater. Harpur, who holds a B .A. from Ohio Wesleyan and an M.F.A. from the Yale School of DRama, was drama director at t he American University in Cairo, and at Coe College in Iowa. H arpur w i l l t each two courses; the first being an acting course. His second course, which is more advanced, deals with direction, design, lighting, and other specialized fields of the theater as well as acting. Harpur

Memorial Auditorium. No ?ne group has been contacted as yet, but many of the top names are being discussed. Utica radio station WOUR will handle promotion for the concert. Bus transportation and the usual reduced price tickets will be available for Hamilton students. Simpson added that, "if this concert works out, the possibilities are endless.'' Long range plans for March, April and May have not yet been made. Sim pson is looking toward the outcome of- the combined concert before any more plans are made. There will be another folk festival this year, similar to last Sim pson Spoons May's. The SEC hopes that it February weekend. The plans can be outdoors and that it will for this concert should be attract many good performers. Simpson anticipates, "a much finalized in the next week or better year than last." He also two.

wishes to teach students how to bring all these fields of the theater into one cohesive production. Mr. Friedensohn is pleased with Harpur.r.'s appointment because his 'expertise in both directing and designing should give us a good leg up in the program we ultimately wish to have.' He describes Harpur as a man who is 'very sincere about wanting to make real contact With people,' and is certain that Harpur's 'tremendous amount of energy and enthusiasm' will make him a 'colorful addition to the campus.'

"There, there," Yossarian said, because he did not know what else to say. "There, there."

"You're going to be all right, kid. " Yossarian assured him, patting his arm comfortingly. "Everything's under control."

Nichols is certainly making a bid for the :r:ole of the great American director. "It's starting to hurt me," Snowden cried out suddenly with a plaintive, urgent wince. The movie is studded with good performances and brilliant scenes. Bob Newhart, type cast as Major Major; Art Garfunkel as Nately. There is a scene in which Yossarian fills in for a dead man, so that the corpse's parents, who cams 5 000 miles to see him before he dies, will not be disappointed. Pure American Gothic. The setting and the make-up are masterly: I wager

The movie leaves out many of the book's best characters and situations: ex-PFC Wintergreen, C h i ef White Halfoat, Orr's chestnuts, the bomb line of Bolagna. Nothing is perfect. It also costs $2.50 to get in. The book costs about a dollar. The book is bett;r. Still, the movie's worth your attention. "Yossaruzn was cold, too, and shivering uncontrollably. He felt goose pimples clacking all over h im as he g azed - down despondently at the grim secret Snowden had spilled all over the , messy floor. .

Radio Reviewer Ralfs Rfn)rch

BY KEN COHN OF WHCL-FM Before looking at a group of new album releases, I'd like to recommend two new acts which are absolutely fantastic-. Specifically, I'.m referring to Livingston Taylor and a group called Seals and Croft. Taylor, younger brother of James, is a folk-style musician who possesses a strong, resonant voice and plays a dextrous, down-home axe. Seals and Croft, on the other hand, is a three man group composed of an acoustic guitar, mandolin and electric bass. Fine vocalist� and accomplished musicians, they are an extremely country-oriented band with some fine original material. Both are excellent and worth seeing live.

"Bach's Uncle consists of a cellist who can play jazz, an oboist who has recorded with J o a n B a ez, a flutist who performs with the Philadelphia Composer's Forum and a harpsichordist from the New York Pro Musica.

High Mountain Hoedown - (Atco SD 33-320) (B) A heavy dose of blues/rock, coupled with some fine original and old material, provide an auspicious initial release.

Duet - Illinois Speed Press (Columbia CS9976) (B-) The Columbia version of C.S.N.&Y. put down a relatively mellow and musically above average package whieh merits exposure and airplay. Stone the Crows - (Polydor 24-4019) (C-) Another "superheavy" British blues entry featuring vocalist Maggie Bell, the latest photocopy from theJoplin factory. They seem very lost in their music.

Marijuana Herbicide Cause ofBirth Defects? WASHINGTON - (CPS) The next load of marijuana from the midwest may contain a pesticide which a government c om m ission recommended ''s h ould b e i m m ediate! y restricted to prevent risk of human exposure" because it is possible the pesticide causes birth defects. Under a joint effort of the B u r e a u of Nar c o t ics and Da ngerous Drugs and the Ex tension Service of the Ag ricultural Service, farmers throughout the midwest are being urged by County Agents to spray the pesticide 2,4-D on wild Marijuana crops. A major eff ort is underway in 20 counties in 10 midwestern states, but the program is nationwide, according to George H. Gaffney, Special Assistant to the Director of the BNDD and project officer for the attempt to destroy marijuana. There has been no research on the effects of 2,4-D when smoked, as might be done by ·a person using marijuana which had previously been sprayed with the pesticide. But there has been research on the effect of 2 ,4-D when ingested, and that research caused the Commission o n P esticides a n d their Relationship to Environmental Health (commonly known as the M r a k Commission), which reported to HEW Secretary Robert Finch last December, to recommend that "the use of curre�tly registered pesticides to which humans are exposed and which are found t o be teratogenic (cause birth defects) be suitable test procedures in one or mor mammalian species should be immediately restricted to prevent risk of human exposure. Such pesticides in current use include ... the butyl, isopropyl, and isooctyl esters of 2,4-D... " That recommendation sprang from a study by the Bionetics R esearch Lab which found significant relationships between birth defects and ingestion of 3 of 6 esters of 2,4-D by female mice, hamsters, and chicks. The C o m m i s s i o n r e c o m m ended further research on the other three esters of the pesticide. The ester of 2,4-D depends on the substance it is immersed

The higher death rate of draftees in Vietnam would have been ended by an amendment to the military procurement bill, which would have barred the sending of draftees to Vietnam unless they volunteered to go. The amendment, authored by· S e n . W i I I i a m P r o x mire , (D-Wisc.), was rejected by a vote of 22-71. The Army says it has no figures on the chances of a draftee serving in Vietnam, but other figures indicate that 8,000 draftees are sent to Vietnam each month. The monthly draft call has been running about 10 ,000. 30 percent of all draftees then in the Army were serving in Vietnam on July 1, compared with 25 percent of first term enlistees. Many persons, including Sen. Pr o xm ir e , feel that the three-year enlistees should not be able to opt out of combat while draftees must fight;. the Army is· apparently unwilling to remove the provision becaus� enlistments might drop, forcing a drastic rise in draft calls. "As strange as it sounds," Brahm said, "only 800 young men a month out of 200 miliion Americans are enlistiong for combat. If w.e went to an all-volunteer force in Vietnam, it's quite conceivable that that's all we might get."

DePuy stated, "I'm in favor of taking a second step first that is trying to control the exc esses before stopping it altogether. Then, if that doesn't work, we'll have to stop the painting."

BY PETER SPELLANE At the suggestion of a S t u dent Senate Committee, Hamilton College housing officials have altered rooming regulations, including those concerning off-campus living for the duration of the present rooming situation.

C a n the 1970 Hamilton College football team improve on last year's 3-5 record? The answer is largely up to t h e r e l a t i v e l y seasoned Continental defense, which will have to hold down the score while a new offensive unit gets its footing. Graduation last May struck hardest in the offensive line and backfield where only five of last years starters will be returning. The defense fared much better, losing only one linebacker and two linemen. . This will be the third straight year that Coach Don Jones has begun the season with a search for a quarterback. Over the past two years he has tried and rejected a good part of the team at the position. This year looks like it could bring a change in his luck. There are now three good prospects for the job: Mark Rice, Greg Czarnowski, and Craig Fallon. Sophomore Rice shared the position last season w i t h a seni or. With this experience under his belt, he has to be considered the leader over his two freshmen rivals. Fallons and Czarnowski both show some excellent talents that have been missing in recent C ontinental football. Fallon, f r o m U t i c a, i s the first left-handed quarterback on the Hill in four years.Jones has been impressed with · the poise and leadership the former Notre Dame High star has displayed after working with the squad for only two weeks. Czarnowski brings another special skill to the position, the accurate long pass. In high school he averaged 27 yards a c6mpletion, whjfe leading his team to an un.defeated season last year. Recent scrimmages seem to indicate he can hold his own with on-rushing cpllege linemen and still hit the deep receiver. Once a starting signal caller is selected, he will have to begin to work v;ith new halfbacks, Vic Ribeiro, Charlie Leibling and Ross Peters. Ribeiro is a senior who has shown a strong running game at the start of the last two seasons. Each year, however, he was sidelined by infuries. At 6'2 and 200 pounds, freshman Leibling has to be one of the biggest backs Hamilton has ever had. Ross Peters, in spite of his size, has proved to be an amazingly strong runner and deceptive receiver. Rounding out the backfield is Dud Humphrey, a junior wing who begins his second-year at that spot.

With the exceptions of the center and one tackle, the interior offensive line is new this year. Jones has had high praise for his center, Pat Cardinale of , New Hartford. Calling him "one of the best" he has coached in 21 years at Hamilton, Jones is hoping Pat will hold tfie line together. On Cardinale's sides will be a pair of new guards, Art Kalita and Mike Murphy. Scott Zapolski and Ed Abbey look like the probable starting tackles. The offense is rounded out by a pair of big, strong ends, j unior M ike Scarpitto and sophomore John Gravely. Lat year the 6'2" Scarpitto led the team in receiving with 21 r e c e p t i o n s a n d t wo touch-downs. Gravely pulled down fewer passes, but averaged over 16 yards on those he did receive. T h e d e f e1pe l o o k s particularly good with the majority of last year's players returning. Backfield candidates i n c l u d e c o - c a p tain J erry Pi taressi, Paul Holmes, Jim Knodel, Mario Gordon, Kurt Czarnowski and Bill Norvell. The only question mark is how quickly Holmes can recover from a cracked rib he suffered early,..in practice. Like the secondary, all line backers are back for another y e a r . Sophomores Larry Williams and Andy Sopchak will be on the left and right sides respect ivel y , w h i l e s enior co-captain Pete Margolin holds down the middle. The defensive line has some strong men this year. Middle guard Al Stauber has shown a lot of hard hitting since he was

switched to this position 1r9m one of the tackle spots. Both the tackles are big and quick. Dave McKay stands 6' and weighs 205 while his counterpart on the left side, Jeff Hewitt, is four inches taHer and 20 pounds heavier. Both have shown a good charging rush on passers in scrimmages. At the left end will probably be Clinton's Jim Rishel. Jones says this freshman makes up for inexperience by hitting well and holding off runs to his sidet 0n the other side will be sophomore Joe Reagan of Syracuse. A y<rar's experience looks good on Reagan who has become quicker and more confident. The first game of the season i s t omorow against the University of Rochester. The first home game is against R.P.I. on October 3.

A Meeting in the Chapel Last May_

_Campus to Redefine StrikeCommitteeR ole BY BOBB HANSMANN On Tuesday night in the Chapel there will be a meeting of t h e H a m i 1 t o n - K i r k 1 and community to redefine the f u n c t i o n of the S t r ike Committee. The meeting will determine the direction and organization of student political involvement. D a v e L o n d o n '71 , c o -chairman of the H a m i lton-K irkland S t r ik e Committee, described the main o bje ctive of the S t r ike Committee for the coming year. "The primary aim of the Strike Committee is to become a cleari.n ghouse for political activity on the campus." In May a three point program of objectives was drawn up by the Committee and ratified by

the student body: the end of the. wa:r in South-East Asia; the end of campus complicity with respect to military research; the end of the repression of political prisoners. The Tuesday night meeting will sound out any changes in this platform. The Strike lost two members over the summer. Nomination a n d e lection of two new members (preferably freshmen) will take place Tuesday night� Tuesday night will decide the nature and extent of Hamilton and Kirkland support of local and state candidates. London expressed the hope that the emphasis on individual effort, as in May, will be replaced with the collected efforts o f t h e Hamilton-Kirkland community.

BY BRUCE WILLIAMS The Free School of Clinton will begin its second .year this fall with high hopes for an increase in projects and st�dent interest. Seventy-five students signed up for the Free School during Activities Night, according to Steve Weisman '7 3, who co-founded the School last year with Stu Kestenbaum '73. As was the case last year., the Free School for 1970-71 .will offer courses that are not otherwise available on the Hill. As Kestenbaum put it, the school is a place where "people come together for the sake of learning and get away from the typical academic structure." Each.class is run according to the desires of the group and the instructor, usually a student. T h e i n structor i s there· principally to provide direction. According to Weisman, "The administration doesn't really e x i st a fter the first class meeting." Courses will be listed in a catalogue to be distributed in early October. The actual classes will probably begin in the early part of November. A course will be continued as long as there is interest in it. Last year there was a railing off of interest out of twenty-five courses tllat met at the beginning, only five or six continued. Weisman emphasized that getting the co�munity involved was a major goal, and noted that "This is not just another Hamilton Club." To attain this end, a bulletin

board will probably be set up in possibilities. Weisman's and Kestenbaum's Clinton to keep people advised of the school's activities. An idea for the school originated effort is being made to bring the from a radio interview with an schools and churches of Clinton organizer of a Free School in Palo Alto, California and also into the Free School. Kestenbaum said that, �ased from the Pendle Hill Quaker on last year's experience, the Study Center, an intellectual courses will be orienteq towards commune. The Free School is applying the arts rather than strictly academic su bjects. Among­ for funds from the Kirkland courses alr_eady planned are Student Activity Fund and the pottery, women's liberation, Student Senate. It is also hoped leather craft, photography and that a benefit for the Free cinema: School will be held in the Coffee O th er p o ssibilities are House. If a shortage of funds remedial and j o b-o riented does occur, students may have courses, such as typing and to pay for their own supplies. mechanics, Kestenbaum said. He The Free School Office is also noted that students had located in McIntosh Dorm and displ ayed some interest in .., anyone interested in helping securing guest lectures and said should contact Stu Kestenbaum, the school was investigating such Steve Weisman, or Betsy Hume.

Winter Study Offers Varied Program, Fo reign, Indepen dent ,Exchange Study The Winter Study Program, designed to serve intellectual and cultural interests not commonly served in regular courses, will run from January 4 through 26, 1971. Approximately' fifty projects will be offered at Hamilton. Five programs will take place in Europ e; students can take exchange courses at Colgate, Kirkland, Lincoln, Skidmore, or Wells. · Students may also design for themselves independent projects, _.subject to approval by a faculty sponsor, the student's advisor, a n d t h e W i n t e r Study Committee. Such projects will bear more scrutiny than last year as the Winter Study Committee was dubious about independent

projects which were under no close supervision. The option to design such projects, liowever, remains open. Projects to be offered in the Old World include The London Theater (Mr. Barrett), Intensive Training i n German; The German Theater (Mr. Colby), Greek History and Archaeology (Mr. Cunningham), and The French Cinema in Paris (Mr. Moraud). Any of these five projects will cost about $500. At the present time, the College is considering reimbursing tuition to students paying extra ._ "There is no money available for s cholarship aid," Dean Winton Tolles added. "In many ways, this is to be regretted, and the hope is such money will be available in the future."

Eighty-nine of the original 168 members of Kirkland's Charter Class, the class of '72, are on campus this semester. Fifty-six of the students who are off-campus, however, are on one year leaves only. T w en t y -six of these 56 students are studying abroad in France, England, Ireland, Spain, Yu g o s l a v ia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Is�ael, or Tanzania. They a r e s t u d y i n g at f o r ei g n universities, o r under American colleges' programs at foreign universities. S eventeen s t u d ents are spending the year within the United States studying at other colleges such as Manhattanville, the New School for Social R e s earch, Princeto!}, M.I.T., N.Y.U., and others. Two of these seventeen students will be away only for one semester. Five students are spending the year on jobs or traveling, and eight are indefinite about their plans for this year. Only twenty-three of the o r i g inal 168 students have officially withdrawn from the col lege. T he administration knows of twelve who have definitely transferred to other institutions, though there may be more. Amoung the schools K i r k l a n d s t u de n t s h a v e transferred t o are Vassar, Bryn M a w r , J ackson, and Sarah Lawrence. D ean D o r i s Friedensohn considers 23 a relatively small number of students to have left a college :qlass .after two years. She is pleased that so many students, have- ta:ken advantage of o p p o r t u n i t i.e s to' s t u d y off-campus, and feels they will return ".. . with a better notion of what they can get out of Kirkland."

During this first semester, Mr. Letzelter will help the college draw up a detailed description of the responsibilities and rewards of his job. This prospectus will be used to attract and inform future applicants for the post. .:'\ ot until the first of the year, however, will the college active! y begin t h e search for Mr. Letzelter's replacement.

THE SPECTATOR

E:di1toria1s Honor Court The- Honor Court has proposed an ammendment to its constitution that alters the present set of penalties the Honor Court can recommend. The ammendment concerns penalties for fraud in examination by an upperclassman, and fraud in English Composition and Public Speaking. It is unfortunate that the Honor Court, in its evaluation of its constitution, did not see fit to drop the penalty of expulsion. Although suspension will be the appropriate penalty in some cases, we can hardly agree that the penalty of expulsion should· remain as one of the alternatives. Expulsion is simply outdated. A student expelled from college may not only never re-apply for admission to that college, but his chances of attending another institution are slim. Such a penalty seems hardly commensurate with the highest form of academic fraud. That fellow students could so categorically deny their faith in the ability of another student to perform successf�lly at a later date is tragic. It ·could be argued that expulsion is rarely used as a penalty. In fact, expulsion has not been applied in the last five years. But the mere presence of this penalty among the options available to the Honor Court may well account for students' disrespect for and unwillingness to enforce The Honor System. It is time we stop undermining the success of what should rightly be considered a privilege by every student. The Spec£ator urges that the Honor Court reconsider their ammendment once more before calling a student referendum.

Apology Because of. the important function a newspaper serves in a community, it is mandatory that any position it takes be based on facts which are definitively proven. Last week's editorial concerning Kirkland's assembly erred significantly in the facts it presented, and therefore in the position it expounded. Faculty only has the final say in matters regarding curricula, not all matters as we had stated.last week. This was a completely unintentional and regrettable mistake. Unfortunately, we cannot go back and change what we have done. We can and do, however, appologize to the entire community, and promise to always try to retain our level of professionalism in the future. Barbara Stein

Grievances A couple of things are bothering us. Once again the Chapel time is five minutes behind the rest of the world. And now that they've cut out the bell at ten before the hour, professors don't know when to end their boring lectures. One final suggestion to J. J. Letzelter and his captains. Either clean the filthy fountain up or bury it. A person could catch hepatitis from that torpid ·sea of mulch. It looks like the swimming pool at the Holiday Inn in Utica.

Movie Review

To the Editor: About three years ago, a group of freshmen meeting with their Dunham advisor were assured that for the next four years of their collegiate life, they would be "damn isolated" from the rest of the world. Those freshmen, now seniors, find today that they are not isolated from events which go on beyond the confines of their . little community. The arrival of Kirkland and the enthusiastic participation of Hamilton in last year's nation-wide effort against the Asian War are the most obvious events one can point to to prove. this loss of isolation. The fullness of Hamilton's involvement with the rest of the w o rld i s , however, best exemplified by neither of these events, but rather by the great increase in the number of people from Hamilton and Kirkland who work as volunteers in a variety of programs in the Utica area. The eight different volunteer service organizations which now exist in the Hamilton-Kirkland community have the potential for doing more than ever for people in the Utica area, but with this increase in potential has come the need for increased h e lp from t h e H amilton­ Kirkland community if this potential is to be realized. These eight organization, the Utica Tutorial program, the House of Good Sheperd program, the Children's Hospital program, the Rome State School for the Mentallv Retarded program, the M a r c y Sta te program, the Gillmore Village program, the St. Eli�abeth's Hospital program and the Potter School program w o r k w i t h the physically, m e n t a l l y , a n d s o c ially d isadvantaged in recreational and education a l a ctivities. Thought there are now many volunteers in the programs, these programs are now facing the possibility of serious limitations because of a lack of both transportation facilities and funds. All the volunteer service organizations are funded by the Chapel Board with money collected in the Annual Fund Drive. As response to last year's drive was generally poor th<:;re is .a shortage of funds for- these organizations. Though present transportation facilities for these organizations must be provided by the groups themselves, some college vehicles may now be used by these organizations when the vehicles are available. However, the Chapel Board and t he Hamilton and "Kirkland administration are studying the possibilties of a more effective solution for this problem. Anyone who would like to help in any stage of the volunteer service efforts is encouraged to contact Mr. Wertz in the Bristol Center or myself through campus mail. Sincerely, Bill Wright for the Chapel Board

To the Editor: B ecause Ham_ilton a n d K irkland Colleges are institutions where intellectual endeavors are not uncommon and ;emain somewhat desirable, one would expect the schools' newspaper, acting as a vehicle for student · thought, to be concerned somewhat with a scholarly attempt at analysis and criticism. Unfortunately, this is not the case with at least the film criticism, as exemplified by the article · written by Mark R i chard, printed in t h e September 25th edition of the Spectator, headlined: "Verdict on Nichol's Catc h-22: Flick is Fine but Book is Better." T h e n e wspa per-reading movie-goer has a syndicated Judith Crist to referr to when he · wants a brief, subjective and occasionally cryptic judgement ( verdict) on a film. Crist writes. her column less for a budding Truffaut and a member of the McLuhan generation than for a Charlie Brown (Saturday night with that red-haired girl). If it is the Spectator's intention to provide Charlie Brown with activities for Saturday nights, so be it; my criticism of the article will be irrelevant. If, however, the intention of the Spectator in including Richard's criticism in the paper was to provide the Hamilton-Kirkland community with meaningful and responsible criticism/analysis of the film "Catch-22" both the paper and the article fell short of this goal. Obviously, if a film is made from a well-known book or poem, the film is going to be compared with the original expression of the idea. Because the comparison of the film with the book is inevitable, this does not mean that this should be the sole basis on which a "Critic" To the Editor: comments.

The critic declares that­ "Nichols is certainly making a bid for the role of the great American Director." and, refrains from explaining precisely how Nichols is doing this. (Perhaps by going over a multimillion dollar budget...?) Mr. Richard does establish the fact that "the movie is studded with good performances and brilliant scenes," and he names some good performers without describing their performances. He does use one scene to illustrate his description of a number of them as "brilliant" and, indeed, it is a brilliant scene, and one well-described by the critic. However, Richard's criticism of "Catch-22" would not have enlightebed the person who has neither read the book or s�en the m o vi e, but who had possessed some curiosity about both. My intent in writing this letter is not to attack Mr. Richard as the author of the article to which I object, but to express my dissatisfaction with him as a perpetrator of a non-co nstructive and vague genre of criticism. Furthermore, I wish more people would think about what they are willing to accept in the way of film criticism and more generally in news analysis. At a time when news media is under stress, it is up to every part of the m ed ia-accepting public to support and demand the highest quality of news reporting. Yours truly, Dana Chenkin '73

Report on Student Life

Frolll the TrusteeAd HocColllllli ttee Below is a progress report from.the Ad . Hoc Committee on Student Life. The history, purpose, and composition of the Committee are explained in the Foreward of_ the attached report.

Foreward The questions which the Committee is considering are of great importance for the educational, social, and financial future of Hamilton. The Committee is giving wide distribution to this progress report so that its final recommendations will have the benefit of the reactions and suggestions of all interested persons connected with Hamilton. In December, 1968, the Faculty of . Hamilton College submitted _ to the Trust_ees a "Report on the Workings of the Fraternity System." This report, prepared by the Faculty Committee on Student Activities, was the result of fourteen months of st.udy of the subject. The r ep o r t w a s c r i tical of the undergraduate social and residential system in general, and of the fraternities in particular. The Faculty requested that the "Board form an ad hoc committee. · consistinf of Trustees, Faculty, alumni, staff and students for the purpose of ' exploring the issues raised in the report." At the Trustees' meeting held in New York on January 25, 1969, the Board, by resolution, empowered- the Chairman of the Board and the President of the College to appoint a committee to "explore the issues raised by the [Fa c u l t y] r eport a n d make recommendations for a new or improved un dergraduate social and residential system for the College...." Consequently, in March of 1969, such an - . ad hoc committee was appointed. The Committe-e consists of seven Trustees (Mr. Bingham was appointed Ch a ir�an), three Faculty members (elected by the Faculty), three alumni (appointed by th� Alumni Council), three students (appointed by the President of the Student Senate), and two ex-officio members, the Preside t and the Associate -Dean. The Committee's mandate was not restr icted to qu estion s involving fraternities, but extended to the social a n d r esidential life of the entire undergraduate body. T he C o m m it t ee's o rganizational meeting was held on the Hill on April 1 7, 1969, at which time, objectives and procedures were discussed. During the meeting, the Committee was joined by a num ber of unde rgraduates for a discussion centered around the freshman year at Hamilton College. The second meeting was held at the College on October 9, 1969. The pµrpose of this meeting was described as ·"fact finding about the student views, the spirit, and the value of fraternities as they exist today." Joining the Committee for this meeting were representatives of the alumhi" and students from all the fraternities at Hamilton. The next day the Committee met again to evaluate the_. discussion of the 'liay before and to make plans for the future. The Committee decided to · appoint a subcommittee· to prepare a statement on the goals upon which future social and residential patterns should_ be based. The Committee thought that once such a statement was adopted, it would be of considerable help in pointing directions and establishing guidelines. Invitations were extended to all members of the Faculty and Student Body through memoranda, announcements in the student assembly, and the Spectator to express their views, either singly or in groups, and to encourage comment, either written or oral, on the goals and objectives of residential and social life. See Appendix I. On October 31, 1969, the Chairman met with Faculty, student

cannot realistically expect to have the more desirable rooms. Fraternities tend to monopolize the more desirable rooms because the CoUege recognizes "squatter's rights," in other words, a student living in a particular room has first choice for that room in succeeding years. By the j u d i c i o u s p l a c e m ent of fraternity members in various natural clusters of room s , f raternities _ have effectively insured that these rooms remain in the hands of their members year after year� The Independent :has no institutionally recognized social position at Hamilton. Four or five years ago when there were very few Independents, their social position was characterized as "the twelfth fraternity - occupying the last status rung." Presently, however, a great many mote men are Independents, 22% of the student body, and they constitute a variety of small groups. Hoping for •privacy and a social life with a small group of friends, the Independent is cons�tly frustrated by the lack_ of con veniently located and regularly ' available social space. This lack reflects the College's long-standing assumption that fraternities would meet the basic social needs of the student body. In addition, the s tudent government presupposes fraternities as the basic representational units and accommodates little more than an indulgent view of the I n d e p e n d e n t . M o s t of t h e recommendations in Part III of this report are intended as responses to this situation. It should also be noted that a majority of the Faculty and a significant number of students are dissatisfied with the present social-residential system because it is dominated by fraternities which they believe are to a degree antithetical to the educational purposes of the College. On the other hand, great numbers of students and alumni have found fraternity life at Hamilton most satisfying. A second aspect of the contemporary scene which must be noted concerns changes in student attitudes and interests. Over the last few years there have been important changes in the concerns of undergraduates. Hamilton students, like those of other colleges, are less interested in .campus-centered activities than their predecessors were. Students are not apathetic however; to the contrary, they participate with vigor and dedication in many activities which were not in existence on this or any campus when most Hamilton alumni were in college. These activities, both organized and informal, are directed outwardly to the community. Today's students, including freshmen, are concerned with various problems of the community such as disadvantaged children, the War in Indochina, and the environment. Perhaps 30% of the Hamilton student body is · actively engaged in service projects off the campus. House party weekends and fraternity beer bashes are of declining importance in the social life of Hamilton students. Instead, all-college affairs and informal, small parties or gatherings are becoming more frequent and important. These changes result in part from things unique to Hamilton, such as the establishment of Kirkland College. But to a large extent, t h ey r e f l e c t m u c h more general developments, which all colleges and universities are experiencing these days, which this report cannot possibly cover. It cannot be stressed too strongly that fraternities at Hamilton have changed markedly: 1) Most fraternities are no longer tight-knit fraternal organizations. The concept of brotherhood, with its attendant ritual, has largely passed. During the year some fraternities hold a few meetings, m a n y h o l d n o n e .

Committee Notes Change in Frat,ernity Life (Continued from previous page) fraternities by upperclassmen is fast disappearing; most juniors and seniors, recently sophomores also, want to move out of their houses and into College dormitories. 3} Interest in joining fraternities is declining: this year, only 69% of t h e f r e s h m a n c la s s pledged fraternities as against an average of 85% for the years 1962-1965. 4) Declining interest in fraternities has contributed to growing financial difficulties for some of them. These financial difficulties have led a few fraternities to increase the number of men living in their houses, in some instances, to levels exceeding what is desirable. There has also b e e n n o t i c e a b l e p hysical deterioration o f some houses. 5) F i n a ncial difficulties and the declining importance of fraternal brotherhood have led to an increase in "social members" of fraternities. These are students who, having j o i ned a fraternity a_nd then dropped out, eat and participate in the social activities of another · f r a t e r n i t y w i t h o u t' a c t u a l ly becoming members. 6} A lumni representatives of our Committee, officers of fraternity / alumni groups, and undergraduate officers of fraternity chapters all seem to agree that alumni interest in most fraternities is declining. Although students no longer seem to be interested in the trappings of fraternities and their groups are very often tightly knit, they still wish to live with a relatively small group of friends. This seems to be univ�rsally true even among those students who insist most vehemently upon their independence and privacy. Furthermore, students desire to change their associations. during college years as their interests change. The optimum size of the group varies from four to forty.

Suggest�ons The Committee has reached two rather general conclusions. First, an improved social-residential system is one of the most pressing needs of the College. Secondly, a new system should be a pluralistic one, that is, one that offers a variety of options in housing, dining and. social facilities. Stated another way, the Committee believes that there must be real alternatives to fraternities. In arriving at these general conclusions and the more specific conclusions and recommendations below, the Committee has made the following assumptions: 1) Hamilton will continue to be a small, residential, liberal arts college for men. 2) The total population of Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges by 197 5 will be 1,600. Of these, Hamilton will have 1,000 students; Kirkland, 600. 3) The social-residential system justifies itself primarily as an important auxiliary to the academic program. It should encourage the growth of the individual and contribute to the spirit and quality of the community. It should encourage rather than discourage natural friendships and associations. It must, at the same time, satisfy the social needs of both the i n d i v i d u a l s t u d e n t a n d the community. 4) No social-residential system is vital without active studenj support. The s o c i a l-re sidential system must, therefore, satisfy the legitimate desires of as many students as possible. 5) The Trustees of the College, within • the 14n,its suggested above, have f i n a l r e s p o n s i b i l i t y for the

social-residential system. Students of the College, also within the limits suggested above, ought to �sume the primary responsibiUty for its operation and governance. 6) Alterations in the social-residential system must be made within limits imposed by the physical and financial resources of the College. 7) The College has a responsibility to see that students are housed in safe, sanitary buildings; are provided with well-prepared food; and are given the opportunity and facilities to develop a satisfying social life. It cannot permit living arrangements (e.g., Dunham Dormitory) that cause prolonged s t r e ss and distractions. The Committee has reached several specific conclusions regarding existing housing and dining facilities. It is clear that if a new social-residential system is to have any chance of becoming a reality, the College must improve the quality of the food and the environment in its dining halls and must remodel certain dormitory facilities. Accordingly, the Committee recommends that at its earliest convenience the College: 1) contract ·with a food management consultant to evaluate its dining operations. Gi v e n his recommendations and those of any other experts it may be necessary to engage, the College should take whatever steps are necessary to make Commons and the food service there more appealing and attractive. 2) remodel Dunham Dormitory to reduce crowding and to provide a more congenial environment for both academic and social activities. In remodeling, it would be desirable to provide some single rooms and to cluster small groups of rooms around individual lounges. After the building is renovated, the question of whether it should rem a in a freshman dormitory

s h o u l d b e g i v e n s e rious consideration. 3) remodel other dormitories so as to enable them to accomodate a variety of student life styles. Again, it would be desirable to provide some single rooms and to cluster small groups of rooms around individual lounges. Kitc hen facilities should be readily available to at least some of the small ,woups. As noted earlier, the Committee was formed as the result of a recommendation contained in a "Report on the Workings of the Fraternity System" prepared by the Faculty. Committee on Studen t Activities and submitted by the Faculty as a whole to the Trustees in December, 1968. The Committee on Student Life has considered the issues raised by the Faculty Committee's Report as well as other questions relating to fraternities and fraternity owned properties. Indeed, some of the most difficult questions with which the Committee dealt concerned fraternities and their properties. These questions were difficult t9 deal with in part because opinions, both for and against fraternities, tend to be very strongly held. Perhaps more important has been the dramatic change in the role a n d importance of fraternities at Hamilton (as elsewhere) in the last few years. One thing that the Committee did find helpful in its deliberations was to distinguish between fraternities and the properties they owned. Having considered questions relating to fraternities and their property, the Committee concluded that: I) f r a t e r n i t i e s owning residential h ouses should be allowed to continue as an option in the new s o c i al-residential system. Such organizations satisfy the legitimate desires of some students, and to abolish them would be unecessarHy disruptive and would require a substantial financial outlay by the '4>llege which the members of our Committee believe would be unwis; if not impossible.

The s o c ial-residential· system must, therefore, satisfy the legitimate desires of as many students as possible. D. The Trustees of the college, within the limits- suggested above, have final responsibility for . the social-residential system. Students of the college, also within the limits suggested above, ought to assume primary responsibility for its operation and governance. .. E. Alterations in the social-residential system must be made within limits imposed · by the physical and financial resources of the college.

CONSIDERA TIONS A. It is widely believed that the c o llege d o e s n o t n o w h a v e a social-residential system equal to its otherwise high standards. A majority of the faculty clearly believes that the present system is to a degree antithetical to the academic purpose of the college. Students agree, not necessarily for the same reason, that the present system is inadequate. B. Most faculty and students believe that the social-residential system should not impose artificial barriers between social and academic life, but rather, it should integrate social and academic life wherever and whenever possible. C. Hamilton College seeks to attract students who are diverse in terms of b a c k gr o u n d a n d i n t e r e st s . The social-residential system should reflect and support the diversity by encouraging the maximum freedom of choice in associations, o!ganizations, and living patterns. D. Most students want to associate with a relatively small peer group. This seems to be universally true, even among t h o s e s t u d e n t s w h o insist most vehemently upon ,their independence and privacy. The size of the peer group varies, anywhere from four to forty. The degree of association also varfes, from the most formal to the most caual commitment. An increasing number of students wants to change their association from time to time. The social-residential system should be flexible enough to allow peer groups to develop and, on occasion, to disa,ppear naturally. E. Most faculty and students believe that the social-residential system should integrate the four classes. F. The Sub-Committee believes that the physical resources of the college lend

themselves to a m o re flexible social-residential svstem. G. The character of student living and dining facilities has an obvious, direct impact on the quality of student life; also, it profoundly affects social_patterns which are an inseparable part of the · academic climate. A student requires more than minimum shelter and feeding arrangements. Barren facilities produce barren results. The college must provide living and dining facilities which make the m a x i m um possible contribution to student social and academic life, facilities which will make life endurable for many students, .and make it interesting for the rest. H. · Student comment·on the freshman year and on fraternity membership versus independence invariably returns to. the same point: fraternity food is better than. Commons food. The assertion cannot be dismissed as a mere schoolboy gripe.' Nor should we assume that the issue is, simply one of diet, though ·there seems little doubt that Commons fare couid be more · varied and appet1zmg. It .,must be r ecognized that the primaty social . gathering place of the day is the dining room. A facility designed, to serve approximately 450 students per meal over a 1 ½- or 2-hour period in one room - whatever the menu - is simply not c o n d uc ive to civilize_d dining and conversation. Dining facilities should p r o v i d e a relatively intimate and unhurried atmosphere,, and if dining is to be more than "feeding," some styl� in the surroundings is absolut�ly necessary. I. Student self-government should be encouraged and s u p p o r t e d ., The social-r esidential system should be governed b y studen ts.

The Progress Report from the Committee on Student Life represents eighteen months of research by trustees, administrators, faculty, students and alumni. They have compiled their observations and offered sonie general suggestions to the College for improving the students' social structure. Some of these suggestions, suc,h as the renovation of Commons, have already been implemented by the College. In other areas, such as remodeling Dunham, steps will be taken as soon as money is made available. The Committee has concluded, at this point, that fraternities "should be allowed to continue as an option in the new social-residential system...to abolish them would be unnecessarily disruptive." This statement should dispel the paranoia among the students which was created by the Faculty Report of Fraternities two years ago. The College 1s not going to abolish fraternities. The report suggests, if not in word then in tone, that within the _ next five years, as many , as half the fraternities, for financial reasons, will have to close down. The fraternities are the first to admit that inflation has affected them. It is obvious to Seniors that the houses can no longer offer many of the comforts which they enjoyed as pledges their freshman year. During the past three weeks, it has become apparent that the anticipated schedule for gradual elimination of fraternities may come about sooner than the Committee expects. The three fraternities moving into the Bundy Quad next month do not expect their chapters to flourish much �onger. Gryphon is rewriting its Constitution, changing its status from fraternity to social dormitory. Las( Sunday the smallest compliment of freshmen ever turned out for architectural tours. It is conceivable that regardless of how hard the fraternities rush, some houses . will - not be · abk-- to attract enough freshmen · necessary to sustain themselves next year. In addition, two houses have had between seven and twelve members deactivated since the semester began. The rising costs of inflation have �affected each fraternity, especially in the board department. A few fraternities have felt the need to take out loans for several thousand dollars. One fraternity has approached President Babbitt to ask if Kirklan� students could be permitted to take eating privileges at the house. The house has already exhauste1.the possibilities for offering these privileges to additional Hamilton students. One house is about to adopt a policy of non-selective rushing. ·,.To add to the fraternities recruitment problems, the . ,.quality of food in the College dining facilities has begun to • improve. Not only is it better than the SAGA offeri_ngs last year, but it is bette� than the food at some of the fraternities. Fr4ternities simply cannot afford the same advantages <they were able to _offer three years ago. Hamilton can no 'longer support eleven fraternities; but as a few close down, the remaining houses should become stronger. At no time sl?.ould anyone read this elimination process as an in<µcation that fraternities should be aboli�hed. If the sttuation ever arises where there are only enough students to support one fraternity, that fraternity must be allowed to remain open. Three years �go le�s than twenty per cent of the upperclassmen were Independents. They were treated by their fraternity _ peers as second class students. Some day less than twenty per cent of the students will be in fraternities. Hopefully their Independent peers will not regard them as second class students. The day when only· twenty pet cent of the students join fraternities may not come for several years. One thing, though, i_s certain. The day when less than fifty per cent of the students belong to fraternities will come about sooner than the Committee has planned. Ronald Bruck

Hansen spoke in reference to reports received that Hamilton students were climbing the crane located just outside the pit of the library project. The students were reportedly observed by a mcm ber o f t h e Hamilton faculty, who informed the campus police. The students were asked to get off the crane, and did. Associate Dean Hadley S. DePuy confirmed that no further disciplinary action was being planned. . Hansen reported that no damage had been done to the crane. Climbing towers on the Hill is not unique to the construction site; many a Hamilton man has scaled the WR UN - FM anten·na tower located just west of· the third hole of the golf course. The Chemestry Building is also a popular locale for practice by imitation Sherpas. One "wit" has analyzed the situation and decided that students are climbing the crane "because it's there". Others feel

cars registered, there should be adequate parking facilities for all cars. Grout claims, however, that students have not attempted to alleviate the problem by walking instead of driving to their classes. He pointed out that "of course we will make special allowances for people with crutches and things like that. All they have to do is call us and we certainly won't ticket their car." Grout also remarked that p a rking shor t a g e s are particularly felt during �vents at the Minor Theater an<;l the Chapel. To remedy this shortage, the trustees are planning fo build another parking lot at some, as yet, un determined location. ".The most feasible site appears to b e b eh i nd the· Minor Theater," said Grout. According to Grout, the Board of Trustees will make a decision on this 1.ssue at their fall meeting. Grout also mentioned a plan which would ·make the entire Main Quadrangle a huge parking lot. This plan, he feels, "has very little chance of being approved." According to Grout, the campus roads will have to be rerouted upon the completion of the library, 1972. Campus Road, for example,, ,'is now totally useless for intercampus travel, since its link between the west and east sides of the Main Quadrangle· h� b�en dissolved. In addition, parking facilities will no doubt be relocated, Grout said.

ART OPENINGS

Bruce Carter; Woodcuts: Root Art Ce'\iter.

BY MIKE BARLOW R o b e r t Harper, Assistant Professor of Drama and joint H a m ilton-K irkland theater director, has plans for several novel productions this year. "Da r k o f the Moon," a m u sical-hillbilly version of Rosemary's Baby , should provide a multitude of parts, long and short, for singers, n o n-singers, guitarists, and character types. Harper outlined the common misconceptions about successful drama: "People have such wrong impressions. Zap! Here's the set! Zap! Here are the actors! It d o e sn't happen over night. Theater is a very physical art. You can't have people in the theater who don't have muscle or they just don't last long." Harper's interpretation of dr�ma leaves no room for the faint of heart but rather welcomes both the un- and pre-initiated who come ready to have the good time and put in an ' honest day's work: "It's just so much fun. You lose yourself. I was working on Henry IV up in Sturbridge and missed the whole Cuban missile crises. It's such a good way of releasing tension. You get so uptight by doing nothing but studying that you have to have a release." Perhaps this explains why Harper stresses open casting. P o i nti n g o u t t h e interdisciplinary nature · of theater work, Harper stated that

Goddard's Weekend is a complicated mother. It studies the degradation of middle class m o r a l s necessa ry before revolution. At the same time, the movie attempts to destroy the sensibilities of this morality, which the bourgeois viewer must bring to the film. Weekend attacks fantasy by stating man's g rossest fantasies in starkly realistic terms. It also questions what we can accept as real by introducing reality ("We're from an Italian co-production;" "Why did you take this part?") to foster a feeling of the Absurd, rendering fantasy �ll the more fantastic because it is re-inforced by something the. viewer knows to be true but can't fit into the scheme of the film.

But everything fits. Two normal bourgeois (what could be more normal than the games the patient and analyst play with sexual fantasies? Ladies Home Journal?) make a pilgrimage to get an inheritance which will fulfill their deepest desires - like an evening with James Bond. (l\loi, aussi.) On the way, they observe and participate in a variety of violent middle-class rituals: traffic jams, a u t o-c arnage, m ut i lat ion, propaganda. The couple stands out as t h e m o vie's only genuinely horr ible aspect: against them, the poor and the rich unite. The bourgeois are the

enemy. R e v olutionaries are pictured as romantic children, participating in frank, rather .£lean violence. The middle-class, enslaved by its morality, would never allow cannibalism, could probably not bear to slaughter a pig, and would certainly riever have the courage to act. out sexual fantasies. "Everything is permitted." Not many people enjoyed Weekend. Wait until Sympathy comes. There, all the violence and sex is hidden inside of Mick Jagger, who, of course, is socially acceptable.. People will love it. Mick always knocks 'em dead.

"Broken Promise," A Woodcut By Bruce Carter, at the R oot Art Cen_ter

Bruce Carter's Woodcuts On Display at Root Art Cenler Woodcuts by the American artist Bruce Carter will go on 'display at Hamilton College's Root Art Center on October 4. The exhibit will be the first of the new academic year at the Root center and will begin with an opening reception from 2 to 4 p.m. at which Mr. Carter will be present. The public is invited to the reception and also to view the exhibit .at any time before it closes November 8. The exhibit, titled "Bruce Carter - American Woodcutter" will include Mr. Carter's most recent work, a series of 12 woodcuts dealing with the. massacre of Sioux Indians by the U.S. Army at Wounded Knee, South Dakota in 1890. The a r t critic of the Pittsburgh Press described this series saying: "These works intrude the stark reality of-suffering - both by the heroe,s and their families upon your consciousness every time, no matter how often or how long you look. You canpot escape; you are caught up by the horror and brutality as -- much as by their beauty and simplicity."

Mr. Carter's woodcuts and lithographs are represented in both American and European private collections, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the State Art Museum, Raleigh, N . C ., P e n n s ylvania State University, and the Universities of Maine and North Carolina. He h as a ls o completed commissions in both painted and glass mosaic m�rals throughout the world, including works at the city halls of Narvik, Norway and Kiruna, Sweden. In 196 7 he was invited by the Norwegian g o vernment to b e artist-in-residence at the State Artists Colony in Oslo. One-man shows in Oslo and Reyjav,ik, Iceland are among the 21 such exhibitions he has had. He is currently an associate professor in the Department of Painting and Sculpture of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. The Art Center is open Moday through Friday from 8:30 to 6 p.m., and from 7:30 �o 10: 30 p.m.. On Saturday the hours are 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 2 - 6 p.m., and on Sunday 2 - 6 p.m. and 7:30 - 10:30 p.m ..

From the Bench fRoc-hester·Rallies in Fourth; Defeats Continentals 20-15

Athletics, at Hamilton, is a. frustrating and often unrewarding experience for those who choose to participate. An athlete puts in as much, if not more, time and energy to a varsity sport, than any other academic or extracurricular pursuit on the Hill. And yet, there are very few rewards. He participates in sports purely for the love of the game or personel fulfillment. In this spirit, the Sports Board feels that Hamilton should afford the athlete, as every other student, the chance to develop to his highest potential. It is ridiculous to assume that, at the college- level, every student is interested in sports, or that he must develop an interest n a "carry-over" sport. Those interested would take advantage of the facilities, and those not so athletically inclined could devote their energy to other activities. The Athletic Department should devote more money, time and energy. to new facilities and recruitment of qualified "scholar athletes". We emphasize the last qualification, because the board fully supports Hamilton's academic reputation, and this should never be compromised. Hamilton increasingly loses the "scholar athlete" candidate to other schools of equal standings, with better· facilities, and with better alternatives for the athlete. Thus, we are finding it more difficult to compete with other schools, and must therefore pick up teams· of lower caliber to fill thr schedules. This trend we feel is tragic, and it must be stopped if Hamilton is to compete in intercollegiate sports. Let us reconsider the athletes and coaches, and make amends.

Steering Colllmittee PlansCampus Activities BY BOBB HANSMANN On Tuesday night, October 6, the Hamilton-Kirkland Steering Committee for Political Action held an open meeting in the Science Auditorium. The objec_t of the meeting. was to brief the incomi ng s tudents on the policies made last May and to outline its pla_ns for contimµng the political involvement of the Hamilton-Kirkland community. Dave London '71, listed the ten e t s o f t he Ste e r i n g Committee: (1) the three point platform seeking the end of , American expansion , of and involvement in the_ war in Southeast Asia, the C:essation of repression of black and white p o l itical prisoners, and the removal of the presence of the military on t h e nation's campuses; (2) non-support of the initiation of violence; (3) and the need for the Steering Committee to remain partisan, yet subject to the vote of the collected student body. Attendance at the meeting was fairly light compared to the overflowing crowd in the Chapel during the first weeks of last May. The Steering Committee indicated a desire to re-establish the rapport and enthusiasm of the Strike by holding frequent meetings. This would facilitate the Steering C o m m it t ee's function as a clearinghouse for campus-wide political activity. Th e q u e st i o n of t h e distribution o f $1000 remaining in the Strike Fund was raised. Any request for funds should first be directed to the Steering Committee. After reviewing the proposal, the committee will put the allocation to a vote of the Hami lto n-Ki rkland s tudent body.

BY KEN GIVENS Dean Winton Tolles �dmits that H a m i l t o n classes are overcrowded. He stated that the college is now considering a study of the overcrowding and its effect on the quality of Hamilton education. Tolles stated that Hamilton's enrollment has increased by only 23 students this year (893-916). Another faculty- member felt that the four-course schedule, instituted last fall, _should serve to alleviate overcrowding. Moreover, Tolles indicated that the ratio of faculty to undergraduates has remained at approximately eleven to one. That figure does not include Kirkland students enrolled in Hamilton courses. Nonetheless, the feeling of students is that- overcrowding is more pronounced than ever. The opm1ons of faculty members vary considerably as to the extent, source, and possible solutions to the problem. Chairman of the History Department David Ellis said that overcrowding is not as acute as s t u dents think i t i s. Overcrowding tends to change with the popularity of a course in a given semester, but overall, Ellis feels that the _situatiion has not worsened significantly in the last five years. Records in the Dean's Office show that several courses with enrollments of over fifty last year have present enrollments of under thirtyy-five.

AccoTd ing to Associate Professor Lawrence Mcmanus, secretary of the Faculty Club, the stag parties, which are held six times a year and are open to all Hamilton and Kirkland male faculty members, are a "good thing." "I feel this way," stated Mr. McManus, "if I had female collegues, l 'd need opportunities to get away fr�m them. It's the nature of the male, you know. We like getting together with members of our own sex." F e m ale members of the Hamilton faculty have never attended the stag parties.

Cl-ass Size

Sta{5 Shows?

Hamilton's student-faculty ratio is approximately eleven to one.And yet, this favorable ratio is rarely reflected in the size of classes.

Discrimination a�ainst any general group can benefit neither the discriminated nor the discriminator.

The number of courses with large enrollments and even the size of traditionally larger classes has increased to the point where over-subscribed classes threaten the quality and characteristics of Hamilton's curriculum. Is it more important that students be allowed. to take any course when they can meet the prerequisites, or that those students permitted to take the course receive the individual attention the college boasts? It is time for Hamilton to adopt a policy of limited enrollment in upper level seminars. With a policy of limited enrollment, first priority would be given to departmental majors, then seniors, juniors and sophomores in that order. It could·· be argued that such a di sc riminatory policy would unduly penalize a student because a course 1s popular among his peers. However, arc students not presently beiqg penalized with crowdeq condi.tiq_ns in the classroom that turn a semimfr · into nothing more than another large class? Regardless of the competence of the profcsso-r and the good intentions_ of students, in a class with forty students it is impossible to engage in fruitful class dis cussions. From another point of view it is upfair that the professor is expected to teach a larger �rroup than the course is planned for. Often professors, in an attempt to remedy the situation, schedule extra sessions and end L;p teaching longer hours. Personnel limitations in the departments is clearly one of the causes of the overenrollment in many courses. Perhaps the individual offerings of departments could be rearranged so that the less popular courses are offered. on alternate years. This would free more professors to teach more sections ·of the more popular courses. Replacing faculty members that go on sabbatical for the duration of their leave could also mitigate over-subscribing in some classes. The Spectator urges the administration to undertake a comprehensive study of registration patterns and enrollment and determine present and future personnel requirements for the various disciplines. It is unfortunate that the great potential of our distinguished curriculum is being undermined by avoidable crowding in the classroom.

Though doubtlessly few female faculty members on the Hill find themselves greatly affronted or distraught by their exclusion from the gay goings on of the Hamilton Faculty Club, the implications of the club's attitude are disturbing. The nineteenth century male mind which finds it necessary to get away from females in order to "relax" and enjoy itself will probably find treating a female as a true equal in a classroom situation or in a colleague relationship difficult. Fortunately, this type of thinking which has in the last two years generally disappeared from the Hamilton student body (a group to which some faculty members might look for guidance), is gradually becoming extinct. The position of the Faculty Club, therefore, though annoying, appears more a swan song of a dying type of male thinking than an actual threat.F.9r _ th�s reas9�n, }Ve do no.,t d�mand this gr�up of men - to,..open their club� gates to women. We merely implore them to be honest and call a faculty club a faculty club, and call a group of men who want tq get togeth�r for stag movies a group of men who want to get together for stag movies.

Kirkland (Thank Heaven) is not a static institution. Rather some may prefer to conceptualize Kirkland as a community which is in process; o_ne which is fluid, ,, flexible and adaptable to everchanging concerns. It might be valuable therefore to forge some common understanding between the participants in the process, upon which we can build and hopefully branch out.A fundamental definition is needed now for freedom of speech in the Kirkland community. In a group which stresses the autonomy of the individuals within it, freedom for the written and spoken word is all too precious a right.This freedom is a necessity particularly in a situation such as Kirkland's where the dichotomy between the need to join and act as a community and the desire to retain one's individual rights and privileges, continually divides the loyalties of the individual.It would be all too simple to subordinate the rights and needs of the individual to those of the group with the excuse that the newness of this group venture requires the utmost sensitivity (silence?) jn _ dealing with the iss1:1es which grnvely c, ,r1front it.If this were true, then we would be engaged in the building of an inflexible instituti\m and not working within an ongoing educational process. Our ideals, our governmental structure were all designed to be dynamic so that each new group of women who entered would find an innovative situation, where they �ould be able to find and initiate change. · Those of us who are participating in the beginnings of this process are vitally concerned with its direction and our place in it. One question for consideration: What becomes of the concerns of various members of the community if they do not coincide with the interests of the majority? Are they valid concerns for the direction of this process nonetheless? The freedom for the individual to agree with the majority of the community remains untampered with. What is becoming of the freedom to d_isagree? Whe_n disagreement is considered subversive to the general .. good then this freedom to disagree is in danger.To deny the democratic ideals upon which Kirkland was founded, would be to deny the existance of a process · which calls for constant re-evaluation and hence, adaptation. The d1rection which Kirkland is to take in the future will be profoundly affected by our critical re-evaluation of our own definition of freedom of speech. -Donna Orenstein

Changes Observed at Rudd Health Center BY MARK WIECHMANN The Thomas Brown Rudd Health Center has undergone a few structural and procedural changes this year, though no further changes are planned for the immediate future. The bed ward has been partitioned off into two separate sect ions for Hamilton and Kirkland. Each section has six beds. Two new part time nurses, Mrs. Gimmillaro and Mrs. Burns, have been added to the four part time and four full time nurses on the staff. In addition, the infirmary has. obtained .the services of a new x-ray technician, Miss Ann Stiles, who was trained at the St. James Mercy Hospital in Hornell, New York. The Health Center is also e x p a n d i n g t h e Student Volunteer S ervic(; program begun last year. The program includes thirty students from Hamilton and Kirkland ·who

volunteer to help out in emergencies. On· weekends, at least one student is present in the Health Center 24 hours a d·a y. Volunteers are taught elementary f irst · aid and s o metimes · help stud ents sµff,ering fr<?m drug abuse· or "ba,p trips."

Le'V"e.t'tov Speaks OUt On Poets,Poetry, and Life INTERVIEW BY PAULS. HAGERMAN Denise Levertov, a leading American poet, is Artist-in-Residence at Kirkland this year. Raised in Essex, England; she was educated at home and never attended any school or college. Her first book, The Double Image, was published by Cresset Press, London, in 1946; her first American publication was in The New British Poets, an anthology edited by Kenneth Roxworth. and published by New Directions Press in 1948. Miss Levertov married American writ�r Mitchell Goodman in 194 7. They have a son, Nikolai. She and her husband actively support the draft resistence movement, and Miss Levertov is often invited to read her poetry and speak at college campuses throughout the country. She has read her work at the Poetry Centers of New York and San Francisco, and was Poetry Editor for The Nation from 1963-65. Miss Levertov has been a Guggenheim Fellow, a Scholar of the Radcliffe Institute for Independent Study and the recipient of a National Institute of Arts and Letters grantin 1965. She is the author of 9 books of verse, the latest of which, Relearning the Alphabet, was published by New Directions Press last March. Miss Levertov, you once said that a poem is not made, it's discovered. What did you mean by that? One mustn't make a sort of blueprint for a poem; make a decision that one is going to write a poem about such and such, tliat it is going to be of medium length and is going to be written in such and such a stanza form. Where a poem comes into being is out of a kind of contemplation of ... call it the object, call it the content, call it the experience, which is impelling you to that poem. You put yourself in an attentive relationship to that material. But it's not simply an simple not it's form, imitative representation - even the camera eye is guided by the selection, the angle of view, all the things that are the personal decisions ·of the photographer. And in writing a poem, the nature of th� "object" may be inner experience or may be a still life, a bowl of apples which you are -writing about, but the gestalt is composed of that thing itself and your relation to it. So it's a subjective-objective gestalt out of which arises the poem. The poem is discovered, not contrived out of the wit and skill of the poet. I'm against exploitation including self exploitation; exploitation oppresses both the exploited and the exploiter - not only in political and social matters. The poet has to have ability and has to develop craft in order to deal with these experiences but this craft 'is the coroll ary of his relationship with the material ( the content, "the experiences"), which must be in a certain sense a humble relationship. Do you feel that drugs are at all helpful in this discovery? If a �erson is very uptight, then certainly drugs may open up their mind

that he have a certain passionate relationship with language. He can have a perceptive eye and all sorts of interesting ideas but that does not make him a poet, unless he has a passion for language and an instinct for the right word. As far as communicating with others is concerned, my belief is that · if the poet can communicate with himself, with the other in himself who needs the poem he is writing, sooner or later he will be able to communicate with other people. The poem that he writes may not immediately find a reader who knows what he is talking about, but it has in it the inherent possibility of communication, because we're not all that much different from each other and the needing element in the writer is very mud, like the needing element in any other reader. So the poet must satisfy his own reader inside himself. Also if he's honest and accurate and doesn't willfully withhold knowledge and their imagination and make it more surrounding those things which are said at. (knowledge that he has, but which hasn't po_ssible for them to have that imaginative such a meeting - in the way that water is gotten into the poem) that will help him relationship with life. I certainly don't the medium in which the fish is to communicate too. But honesty should think that's the only way to do it but it's swimming, and air is ours - that the not be equated with simplification. one way. It's very· much an individual silence ought to be listened to. It's a The Readers' Encyclopedia uses the decision. In some ways there's great quantity to which one can listen. And word "colloquial" to describe you, intensity and tension in the creative this ties in with my sense of what it is to poetry. But that isn't really true is it? process: and it's as if that intensity were a be in the state in which one is writing a Well some is and some isn't.

Wµliarm It's like a photograph in which everything The Greek origins of the word poetry was talking- about when he used the term is blurred except that thing you're have to do with making. There is a the American idiom. We've got to have it supposed to be looking at. There has to peculiar equilibrium established in the there - common speech - as a basic be a certain relaxation of the mind, which artist between receptivity and the ingredient of our poetry, but if you look is perhaps one of the things Keats was dynamic energy that makes autonomous at Williams' poetry you see how talking about when he talked about things. wide-ranging his vocabulary is, and every :negative capability, in order for that other linguistic device. But he's got a focus of attention to take place. And for · Assuming the person has the vision ground to stand on, which is common some people drugs may help to do that, it and imagination to discover a poem, the speech. may be possible for some people to learn l' ou don't have "to use the same what that relaxation is; other people do it ability to listen and the dynamism to . vocabulary you use to bring the groceries most the is then what poem, a make naturally.

Some people maybe need to kind of loosen up. It's a question of loosening up; it's like for the body in athletics - if you're muscle-bound, you can't do anything. The imagination can get muscle-bound and if it is, it won't work. When you 're writing a poem, what is the most important attitude you should have towards it? You must belistening. I have thought of it as that. for a long time but just recently I found out that the Quakers use that term, rather than the word meditation or contemplation.

'Denise Levertov , NoteQ . Modern Poet, at_ Kirkland equanimity you have to use the most little known or archaic words that are natural and appropriate to what you are writing. It's freedom, that's what I mean. Of course the sort of "literary language" attitude is not freedom, it's the confinement within a special high language which excludes the use of the idiomatic and the colloquial. But it would be equally confining to forbid oneself the use of high language. Talking about the Amer£can £d£om, you do consider yourself an American poet? Yes, because although I grew up in England, and started writing there, I developed as . a poet after I came to America. But I find that I have strong1:ies with England too, and my visit there this summer after 20 years revealed to me how strong my feeling for England is, and that sometimes I have written off the influence on my later work of my life there in my early years� If I had been born in America, but everything else being equal, I would undoubtedly be a somewhat different poet. I'm a mish-mash, I guess. But yes, I am an American poet, not an English one. Of all the_ contemporary poets, which one do you admire the most? I can't sayone poet. I care very much for Robert Duncan, Robert Creely, Galway Kinnell. There's an English poet called Roy Fisher who is really not known here at all and is just coming to be known in England although he's in his forties and has been writing for a long time. And there are many other American poets whose work I care for. There are just too many to answer a question like that. There are many poets who have written some poems that I think are marvellous and others that I think are not. What do you feel lz"ke when you-re writing a poem? I feel drunk, high. Is there a feeling of self-education and self- exploration ? Of course .. . One is finding out all

sorts of things that one didn't know, just as when one is dreaming. It's not self-education like sitting down with a syllabus that you've made out for yourself and deciding that you are finally going to learn French verbs, the history of Egypt and Marxian political theory this year. That is self-education, of one kind, isn't it? But of course the experience of dreaming or writing poems is self-education in · another way, it's self� exploration, but it isn't methodical - you don't know what is going to happen until it happens, whereas with decisions that you've made about what you are going to do you can have a reasonable expectation of certctln results. You said once that a poem creates an order. Yes and no; it reveals an order. That is already there? Partially it reveals an order that is already there, but more than that it reveals an order that comes into being through the poet's relationship to that thing which is already there. Gerard M. Hopkins invented the word, "inscape," and in his notebooks descriptions of what

he calls "inscape" will be, for instance, if you're looking at a brook running over stones, there's the pattern of the purling of the little waves and there's the pattern of the stones underneath and then there's the light and shadow and reflected leaves and the whole thing together forms an "inscape." I guess . the word, gestalt is a word very close to what he me-ant by inscape. But- the presence of the poet's imagination, and intelligence responsiveness, whatever he is bringing to what is there ·_already, is part of the gestalt , is part of the inscape, so that what is revealed is that as well as the objective material. Then one of the reasons to write a poem is to discover this order that is hidden there?

I believe in revolution, I believe that we have to have a revolution or that life on earth is going to end and going to end horribly. And because, even aside from the considerations, eschatological conditions of human life now demand revolution. I believe that one should act as if this revolution were possible and could succeed. I don't have a deep faith · that it will succeed but I do have a strong sense of the moral necessity of assuming that perhaps it can, and that to be a decent human being and to maintain one's self-respect one has to work towards it, one has to take that chance. I have been perhaps too apocalyptic in my feeling in the past couple of years and I'm trying this year to take it easy and not feel so frantic, because it puts me out on an intellectual and emotional limb _where I cannot sustain myself. We are not in an immediately revolutionary condition in this country at this point, but we are in a pre-revolutionary condition. There is a great deal of ferment towards that end. We're still years away from having a revolution in the narrow historical sense of an event which can be dated as "breaking out" on a certain month of a certain year, because, of course, the working class in America is not with that at all. We have the students and we have the blacks and so far that's about all we've got. There are very few people over thirty who believe as I do. So we 're a

small minority at present but a growing and very dynamic minority. This is a kind of optimism but I wouldn't describe it in some sort of blanket way as opt£mism because I have lots of fears and doubts; but I feel that there is no -alternative that I would accept. I feel that the desperate condition of the world calls for desperate remedies, and if you want to describe this as optimism, then that's your prerogative. It's not pessimism either because if I were a pessimist, then I would say, "Well, Yes, I think so. Yes. there's just no chance, we're going down, The painter, Mondrian once said that there's no hope." I don't feel that there's as life gains more equilibrium, art will no hope; b�t I do feel that we're disappear. positioned on a knife edge. No, I disagree with that. I disagree If God decided to stick a pin in the with that because it seems to be based on earth and end our whole existence with a the assumption that art is either the pearl loud pop tomorrow, what would you do produced by the sick oyster, that it is an today? essentially neurotic manifestation, or t�at I would want ... to do some of each of it has a social function that will be all good things, I'd want ... to read some superceded in Utopia.

Ottinger Campaigners' Goal:. Candidate Familiarization BY DAVID NATHANS A number of Hamilton and Kirkland students, under the leadership of Fred Bloch '74, have formed a group to campaign for Congressman R i c h a r d O t t i n g e r , t h e1 Democratic candidate for the Senate in New York State. Bloch gained experience this

past spring by working in Ottinger's campaign to win the Democratic Primary. The strategy of the Ottinger organization at Hamilton and Kirkland will be to direct activity to three major areas. B e g i n n i ng this week, representatives will be sent out to factories in the Utica area to

pass out campaign material and converse with the employees. Secondly, the group will be engaged in door to door canvassing in Utica and Clinton three evenings a week. On _Saturdays, students will go to local shopping centers and attempt to approach the voters. S i n c e Ottinger has not participated in a state-wide election or held a Senate seat, Bloch feels that the main objective of his group is to "familiarize people with the name and record of Ottinger. By introducing the man directly to the public in this manner, they tend to notice his name more often. Ottinger will then become a known quantity." Besides talking to the voters, students will help in Ottinger's main headquarters o.n Bleeker Street in Utica doing the usual office work needed by a candidate. Pr ior to the first , large organizational me eting held last Monday evening, Bloch had r eceived s ome tw eQty-t wo inquiries concerning the group's upcoming activities. In addition, A s s i s t a n t P r o f e s s or o f G o v ernment David L. Rosenbloom lias taken on the position of advisor to the group. The visit and meeting of the g r o u p with Congres·s m a n Ottinger a t . a campaign i n Utica on October 15 should add i m p e tus to the enthusiasm already �presen't among 'the w orkers. With November 3 drawing nearer, the activities of the organiza�ion will b ecome more intense to try to secure the·. election for their capdidate.

Steering Committee Continued from page 1 petition form of nomination and election should be among the Hamilton and Kirkland freshmen exclusively. The Steering Committee will make no attempt to co-ordinate the campaign activitjes on the Hill (i.e. Goodell, Ottinger, Sim mons, Lowenstein, etc.). Di s c u s s i o n s l e a d by representatives of the various candidates, however, will occur under the auspices of the

Steering Committee. These discussions are intended to be solely informational so that students unfamiliar with the candidates and issues will be able to guage their involvement. At the meeting it was also made clear that the campaigns need manpower and not financial support . Programs that the Steering Committee plans to carry over into this year are the teach-ins and the draft counseling service.

Vietnam Veterans Investigate .· ·. · · . . . .: · Assembly Committe·es War Atrocities inNovember· .

(CPS) - Vietnam Veterans i\gainst the War, in preparation for a national commission on U .S . War C r i mes in late November, has called upon all Indochina War veterans to come forward if they have testimony · about atrocities committed by Americans in the process of waging war in Asia. Their purpose is to show that U.S. committed war crimes like My Lai are not isolated aberations by battle-crazed Gls, but a logical outcome of U.S. policies, like search-and-destroy, ''m ad minute , ' ' ' 'm assive relocation" (a euphemism for concentration camps), chemical biological weaponry, "free fire zones," and electrical wiring and other torture devices. "Individual soldiers should not be made scapegoats for policies designed at the highest levels of government. Instead,

responsibility for War Crimes should be placed where it truly belongs upon the U'.S. Government," said the Vets in t h e c a l l for t h e W inter Investigation. T h e W inter Soldier Investigation, which is being coordinated by the National Committee for a Citizen's Commission of Inquiry on U.S. War Crimes in Vietnam, will be held in Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Onto rio, · Ca.nada, November 30 - December 2. After an introductory session with a number of national ·anti-war figures, investigation sessions will be held with veterans and other experts giving specific testimony concerning ·u.S. atrocities. Under existing law, veterans who are no longer on active duty cannot be prosecuted for any w a r c r i m e s t h e y have

participated in and later admit to. The point of the whole investigation is to show that the individual GI in the field, while executing war policy, has almost no choice but to particip�te in acts which would be ruled as war c r i m e s by any existing international standards - the Nuremburg Principles and the Geneva Accords. "Most of our operations are d esigned to e1im inate Viet n a m e se peasants," said Robert Johnson, an ex-Army Captain, a West Point graduate, and a Vietnam veteran. "If we a p p l i e d the Nuremburg P r i n c i p l e s in V i etnam, Westmoreland, Nixon, Johnson would be hung - plus key p e o p l e i n corporations, foundations, government, and universities." The Detroit site was chosen because of the proximity to . Canada, which will be necessary for the testimony of Vietnamese victims, i nt e l l e c t u als, and scientists who are not allowed in the United States. The hearings will be _ linked by electronic transmissions. "Almost every veteran has .wi tn essed a..tr.o c ities,." said Johnson. "But many times they don't even realize that what they're doing i� a war crime, because it's an accepted part of their jobs." John son witne ssed t he burning and destruction of villages, and has given testimony to that effect at a number of l o c a l-l e v e l w a r c r i m es. commissions that the national Committee nas helped organize in nine cities since March.

Kirkland Racketeers Trounce Cazenovia

BY ROBERT ROSENBAUM It was a momentous day in Kirkland's short but increasing history; the first intercollegiate sporting event. Unbelievable spirit and feminine pulchritude were displayed as a bevy of beauties took to the all weather courts intent on victory. Victory they sought and victory they overwhelmingly achieved. The sun was shining as the Racqueteers ventured forth for their initial away contest. Although more at home on Hamilton's all weather surfaces, the netwomen easily adjusted to the · surroundings of nearby Cazenovia Junior College.

The team, comprised of for m er nat ional badminton champ Woody Root, sophomore Jitney Jockey Anne Hart; screen a n d s t a g e s t a r D o n na Sontheimer, and ranking tennis great Susie Valentine, disproved high echelon rumors that there was no spirit at Kirkland. By blanking Cazenovia 4-0, the girls t h at demonstrated intercollegiate events have a future at Kirkland College.

It appeared as if the "Toon Continued on page 1_ 1 the highly favored Rochester Ticklers" were continuing _their old ways of ineffectiveness. As the halftime horn blew, the score stood 2-0, Rochester's favor. A slight drizzle began to dampen the field as well as the feelings of the Hamilton squad. A win was essential. The third period started out with an uplifted spirit. Within a few minutes of the period, Tom Droesch '72 scored on a penalty kick, which resulted from a Rochester infraction. It was not until the fourth period however, that Hamilton, still trailing 2-1, began to look and function like a team. With acute precision, crosses were made and goals were scored. Nat Follansbee set up the game tying tally with a Gomer kick. Rich Creighten, always Joe Reagan (82) and Andy Sopchak dependable, headed the cross pursuit and strangulation into the goal; 2-2.

The Hill defense time and again pounced on f u m b l e s a n d s tymied the vaunted RPI passing attack, only to have the offense stall three times within the Engineers' fifteen-yard line. Early · in the first period Hamilton drove to the visitors' five yard line only to be denied a score. RPI then moved it out ten yards until a jarring tackle dislodged the ball loose and Jerry Pitaressi recovered for the Blue on the fifteeen. Again the Continentals were unable to pierce the stingy RPI defense and the'.Engineers took over on downs. In the second period the Continental defense, not wanting to be left out of the see-saw defensive battle, halted RPI twice, deep in Hill territory and blocked two field goal attempts. With time running out in the half, "Mr. Dependable," Larry Williams alertly recovered an RPI fumble · on his own forty-yard line, and the inspired Continental offense began to move the ball. Sophomore quarterback Mark Rice fired over the middle to Dud Humphrey for a first down on the Engineers' forty-eight and then to Ross Peters swinging out of the backfield for another first on the thirty-five. Rice's third consecutive pass found John Gravely at the twelve, and his next to Mike Scarpitto for the score. The offense finally looked good. After another grim half-time show of cloud watching, the

Hamilton fans found the offense trying to control the football, but RPI was out for victory. Driving within the Continentals' five yard line, RPI looked as if they would tie the score. H ow e v e r , a d e t e rmined defensive unit proved they were as effective at the goal line as they were at mid-field. Three consecutive blitzes, spearheaded by Andy S opchak, Peter Margolin, and Mario Gordop., blasted the Engineers back to the fifteen, and the Blue offense took over. In the fourth quarter with the wind behind them, the Hillmen exploded for three touchdowns in the first six minutes of play. Rice lofted a t"wenty-one yard pass to Scarpitto in the end zone, and then fired,twenty-two yards on a broken play to Ross �eters to give the fans something to cheer about and to put the game on ice. In fhe meantime, the defense blocked an Engineer's punt which was followed by what appeared to be a "nobody wants the football scene" until tackle Joe Reagan dived on the loose pigskin to cap the scoring spree. The game ended happily 25-6. The Hobart Statesmen will host the Continentals at ·their Homecoming this weekend. Last year the Blue suffered a humiliating defeat at their hands and are eager to force a turn around this year. The Statesman are lead by their own sophomore quaterback Bob Raleigh and have lost tough contests to Kenyon and St. Lawence. If the Blue offense can put two explosive halves together and arrive sky-high for the game, one. should look for a Continental victory.

List Center Problems Soon to he Remedied BY HARRY PHILLIPS The List Arts Center has been plagued by minor difficulties ranging inade quate from ventilation in th e practice rooms to an improp erly sealed dance floor. Chairman of the Arts Division Kirkland College Elias of Friedensohn said the first priority problem is the ventilation in the practice rooms. Students attest that a session in one of the practic e rooms is only enjoyabeif one does not attempt to breathe. In r esponse to questions problem, this concerning Professor Fried ensohn replied that the situation is caused by technical difficulti es in -t-he air conditioning system. H e said that the responsiJ>ility for r ectifying the problem -lies with the subcontractor. Friedensohn also said that the subcontractor has begun the n ecessary repairs and it will be a very short time b efore the system will b e working properly. As for the dance floor, Professor Fried ensohn said that the construction of a good dance floor is a matter of trial and error... At first the floor was too rough and caused the dancer to

reci eve floor burns. To solve this .probl em, an. additional coat of sealer was applied. This made the floor too slippery. Since that time, more work has been done and Professor Friedensohn said that the floor is now in suitable condition. There ar e also problems in the soundproofing of some of the rooms. Sometimes ther e is too much, som etimes there is too little. it is a matter of experime ntation until the right combination is found. Friedensohn Professor stressed that although there ar e not are problems, they unexpected. He said that any new building· has bugs that-remain to be ironed out after the completion of construction. As an example, he cited the large double sink installed in one of the studios.

Lowenstein's Campaign Gets Support from Studems BY JOSEPH SEWELL A· group of Hamilton and Kirkland students will travel this weekend and the next two weekends to Nassau County to campaign for the re-election of Allard Lowenstein.

· Recognizing that some issues and decisions of the Senate are best represented in person than by letter, the Senate empowered Senate President Steve Baker '71 to form an executive committee of the Senate. The Senate was clear to point out before approving the formation of this committee that it would not have any discretionary powers. Its onl_y purpose is to communicate the decisions of the Senate after they have· been rriade by the Senate at large. The committee consists of seven. senators: Steve Baker '71, William Longstreth '71, Julian Bernstein '72, John Young '71, Ronald Bruck '71, Glenn Reisman '72, and Jamie Yordan '71. Flue shots for the winter are now available in the infirmary. Students may receive these free of charge at any time. The STEERING COMMITTEE FOR POLITICAL ACTION had a brief meeting on Tuesday. Representatives of students for Goodell and Lowenstein made presentations to the Committee requesting funds. The Committee decided to grant the full amount of $75 to both groups. The allocation of money for Goodell is as follows: $45 Transportation to storefront in Utica $20 - Printing 40 page information packet and newsletters S 10 - Stamps and envelopes The allocation of money for Lowenstein is as follows: $15 - Printing-mimeograph expenses $60 - Transportation: busing of Hamilton and Kirkland students to New York City

Allard Lowenstein

The purpose of using students, according Lowenstein to supporter Howie Pariser, is to show the voters in the ·5th Congressional district that the students supporting Lowenstein are not radical memb_ers of the New Left. Lowenstein has paid for a bus from Rochester which will stop at Hamilton and Colgate. Each student will be assigned to one of 19 storefront offices. Their main jobs will be to hand out literature, present the issues as Lowenstein sees them, and take.-a survey of voter-opinion. At the end of the day a party will be given at which Lowenstein will 'be present.- The bus will return Sunday morning. The leaders of the ·student campaign hope people from other Congressional districts will take part. Students from Smith College, Yale, Cornell, Fordham, and Princeton Universities, along with students from other schools, are working for Lowenstein. People from as far away as Notre Dame Univ�rsity are taking part in the campaign.

Core Program Revisions: K ir kl and Views Choices BY JUDY CROWN To assess dissatisfaction with t h e c o r e course-s, several Kirkland students are conducting a poll concerning possibilities of revisions of the core program. The poll is in r e s p o n s e t o a growing discontentment with Kirkland's required core courses. Previously m a n y p e t i t i o n s showing displeasure ·had been circulated, but no positive action had been taken. The present committee is taking a public opinion poll which will be given to_ the Steering Committee to consider. The poll was circulated to students of the four classes, faculty and administration. Of the responses tallied thus far, only ten want to leave the core unchanged. The poll presents five possible

revisions of the program. They are 1) revise the core sections so they would serve as introductory, courses, or in other words, as prerequisites; 2) revise the core i n to certain distribution requirements; 3) revise the core program so that all existing cme sections would become electives; 4) revise the content of the core c o u r s e t o stress the i n t e r r e l a t e d n e s s a m o ng disciplines. Freshmen would be requ ired to a tt end three presentations a week (science, humanities and social science) in· which only the interrelatedness among the disciplines within a division would be shown. If the idea of core course revisions is accepted by the Steering Committee, a mote formal and detailed revision will have to be developed.

Over 500 students are expected this weekend and next, and it is hoped that close to a thousand students will campaign the weekend before elections. The Hill is expecteq to provide 15 to 20 people for Lowenstein's campaign each weekend, with the majority coming from Kirkland. Pariser has described the campai gn as "a test of whether Agnewism will win."

Two weeks a f ter The Youngbloods had returned to New York with Joe, they heard a knocking at their front door. "Who is it?" asked Jesse. "It's me," resplied Banana who stood there, guitar in one hand, suitcase in the other. "I've come to join your band." He began his career· as a classical pianist, but he gave up being a child prodigy at the age of thirteen. In 1965, he was studying acting at Boston U n i ve r s i t y and. s u pporting himself by playing bluegrass banjo and singing: With the g r o u p , Banana adds piano virtuosity and a trunk of more than thirty songs.

Goodell BY BARBARA STEIN Charles Goodell's term in the Senate has been characterized by· extreme diligence, and perhaps more shocking in our cynical political age, extreme honesty. We cannot let these very characteristics backfire and serve as instruments of defeat against the Sen ator. ·The·Senator has provided great leadership·in the areas-:ofurban problems, higher education, welfare reform, social security, and many other vital issues. He has fought legislation which was produced as a backlash against students, and has taken the moral, rather than the popular view, on many crucial problems. He appears as a one issue candidate to some simply because the stand he did take on that issue was so daring and frank that it could serve only to divert attention from his other acts. Perhaps if he had not taken such a strong anti-war stand, if he had not been the fir�t senator to introduce legislation to end the war at a time when even its present supporters found such an act shocking, __perhaps..__then _he_ w.o.uld_..not .. hav.e __b�_en_JLQn.e__ is�UL.!;iIDID.date. , . perhaps then he would not have been a "liberal-radical." He also would d not have been Charles Goodell. Despite all the other areas in which the Senator provided forceful leadership, hjs stand, and even more importantly, his action on the war, is the. most sign ificant. The significance lies in its obvious intrinsic value, but perhaps even more in the manner in which it reflects on the man; a politician who in this crooked, faithless, political age took a precarious position because he knew it was right. · Last week over the phone my traditionally Democratic father, who had sworn that in this election he would vote for a Democrat, announced that his conscience had gotten the better of him and he was going to vote for Goodell because he ".. . can't ,, let a man be sacrificed because he took an honest stand. None of us should sit by and. allow an honest man's very honesty crucify him. Compromise in politics too often leads to politicians who act expediently rather than sincerely. (Richard Ottinger was against immediate withdrawal until very recently when he realized he was in a miority on this position in the state of New York.) We must vote and work for Charles Goodell so that the people of New York State and the people of the United States are certain of having at least one honest man in the Se1;1ate.

Ottinger BY BILL BRAMAN In February, 1965, when the Spectator poll showed a strong majority of students favoring an escalation of the war in Vietnam, freshman Congressman Richard L. Ottinger was calling the conflict "the wrong war, at the wrong time and for the wrong cause." Since then he has.. consistently proved.. himself . to .he_ a ·-·· . representative of superior ability and integrity. Running from a, strongly Republican district in· Westchester and Putnam counties, ·ottinger has won voters from across party lines because of his vigo�ous efforts in behalf of his constituents. His record on protection of the enviro�ment is one of the best among elected officials-pollutio� has been one of his main concerns since his initial election. When the pollution issue reached national prominance in 1969, Ottinger had just been cited by Field and Stream as one of the top conservation Congressmen, in spite of his opposition to the magazine's position on gun control. With Senator Robert Kennedy as his co-author,_ Ottinger sponsored the Narcotic Addict Rehabilitation Act of 1966. To many voters a candidate's record represents only the past-for some_ reason they will believe campaign promises which go directly against an established record. Richard Ottinger needs to make no excuses for his record. His campaign promise is that he will continue to be responsive to the needs of the state and unwilling to support any position for the sake of short-term political favor. He will continue to support cuts in military spending, ��intaining that as much as 15 billion dollars can be cut from the defense budget without affecting national security. It is time for the ·voters, especial�y students, to realize that a knight in shining armor is not going to appear to solve every problem with one fell swoop. Ottinger has spent almost ten years in the House, creating a record as a rational, liberal representative. New York State has its problems..,...it does . not need a· rather obscure, extreme senator who wjll listen only to those who agree with his own -opinions; nor does it need a pocket pledge of the present administration. J?o no·t let President Nixon's outspoken opposition to Rkhard Ottinger ·scare you-he is the. man for the job.

The Electronic Synthesizer

Electronic Synthesizer In -List Arts Center BY BARBARA FRIEDMAN recently has Kirkland electronic an purchased synthesizer, a delicate device which has the capacity for producing fantastic variations of sounds. These range from orchestral sounds to unusual sounds riot made conventional by instruments. The college bought this particular kind of synthesizer rather than the famous Moog synthesizer because it is easier to. program and is supposed to have a greater frequency stability. The potential of the synthesizer is limitless, with capabilities for both composing and studying. It can compose in traditional or "far-out" terms and is capable of turning ou;

finished works. As a demonstation apparatus it can be used to show what gives sound waves their characteristic effect (what makes a piano sound like a piano,etc.) the The presence of synthesizer at the List Arts Center demonstrates Kirkland's interdisciplinary nature. Though the in music, centered synthesizer's use in sculpture (as a means for adding light and sound), theatre and dance are possibilities. A basic policy governing the use of the synthesizer will be set up shortly. Training for those who are interested will be made available.Only qualified students will be allowed to take advantage of the synthesizer,and some sort of fee will probably be charged.

When asked how long it would be befor When asked how long it would be before the bugs would be ironed out, Professor Friedensohn stated that a period of from one to two years would be necessary. He said this lengthy amount of time·is due to budget limitations. In other words,a few lower priority problems may have to wait until money is available.

P�of essor Friedensohn noted that another problem related to the Art Center is that a good part of the staff has little or no experience with a building such as List. He said that this should disappear as soon as the faculty becomes accustomed to its new surroundings. When asked*about his overall impression of the Center, Chairman Friedensohn replied, "There is basically a very good feeling in this building."

Jerry Pitaressi) and allowed only five completions all afternoon. And the "midget" defensive line proved to be a formidable e ven t u a l l y a n and insurmountable barrier for the Hobart offensive linemen. Hamilton, traditionally not a powerhouse, exploited, time and again, the right · side of the Statesmen's defensive line. A series of running plays in the

fourth p eriod led to the Continentals' first touchdown on the ground this season. H a m i l ton's ''inexperienced" halfbacks Ross Peters and Vic Ribeiro (who appears to be making a comeback from a series of knee injuries), and ends John Graveley and Mike Scarpitto roamed at will through the Statesmen's porous secondary and made easy targets for Rice's

Choosing to keep the ball on the ground, the Blue failed to score until the final period when an interception coupled with a fifteen yard penalty moved the_ ball to the Hobart sixteen. Four plays later, behind the straight ahead running of Ribeiro and Peters, and t h e prec1S1on blocking of Mac Abbey, Mike Murphey, Pat Cardinale, and Art Kalita, Rice dived over from the two yard line, and Reagan once again booted the extra point. With 6: 15 left to play, Rice once again hit Humphrey for a twenty three yard score to put the game- beyond -t-he reach of the surprised and c ocky Statesmen. Reagan, attempting his third conversion, picked up a bad snap and rolled out to his left hoping to find a friendly jersey; he found one, lineman Mac Abbey, but the spiraling projectile failed to reach it's intended receiver. Reagan is now 0 for 1 in the p assing department but is working on a roll-out drop kick. The game once again ended very ,happily 20-0.

Twine Ticklers Romp Hobart From the Benehi Battle Garnets For 1-1 Tie

Editor's Not(!: The following appeared 'in the Hobart Herald, October 9th. Hamiton is led by sophomore quarterback Mark Rice who would probably be better off playing soccer. Wisely, he seldom puts the ball in the air, preferring to hand off to one of his small, inexperienced backs. Simple off-tackle slants are always a favorite with Don Jones' eleven, as was exhibited by RPI when 31_ such plays were used. In desperation, the Continent_aJs will resort to such razzle-dazzle tactics as the old end around, and double-reverse hand off plays.· These plays worked well against RPI and gave Hamilton an easy victory,.. Rochester was a different story, as a com�back drive fell short and the Continentals succumbed 20-15. Comments: Hamilton, not known as a powerhouse, sports a small, but scrappy squad. They like to use a man-to-man pass coverage, which just will not work against Hobart receivers. Our offensive line should have no trouble at all against the small Hamilton defense. The right side of the Continental defeo.sive is so small that they might double as midget wrestlers in the Rochester War Memorial on Wednesday nights. The offensive line should be able to open up the holes at will. If the Hobart defense gets together with the offense, this game will be a devastating victory for the Statesmen and could set them on the path to a winning season. I predict:- Hobart 34, Hamilton 12. Editor's Note: Never make predictions.

The Continentals were prepared to take on the orange-drabbed Statesmen of Hobart College to improve their record of 2-2-1 artd prevent Hobart from gaining its initial victory. Prior to game time a light downpour dampened the spirits of the surly, Hobart biased crowd, but lifted the spirits of the Blue hooters who seem to play best under "homegame simulated conditions," a wet, soggy, and extremely muddy quagmire.

The soon to be opened Bundy Dorm

Bundy West Dorm ---�et to Open Soon BY DAVID NATHANS Although the date is still not final, the Bundy Dormitory will open in a matter of days rather than of weeks or months.

Students Allegedly Abuse Bristol Living Quarters A student resident in the Bristol Dorm may be prosecuted · through the Judiciary Board for unauthorized use of' furniture and facilities there. The student in question allegedly took a desk and chair from the second floor lounge and placed them in his room on the fourth floor of Bristol. In addition, he allegedly broke down several "barrack-like bunkbeds" into singles, and tacked up curtains into the ceiling, separati:p.g his section of the dorm from the others. He justified these actions by saying that he couldn't study without his own desk and that he enjoyed a little privacy. D i rector of the Bristol Campus Center, Andrew Wertz, had no· comment on the affair. The student expressed the opinion that he; having returned after a year's absence, and two transfer students also in the Bristol Dorm, were placed there without regard for !he fact that th-e y would have difficulty adjusting to Hamilton under normal conditions, let alone to 1 i ving in a crowded dorm intended for women visitors. Assistant to the President, Gilbert Grout, rejected this notion, stating that the six men in Bristol were chosen by chance from a list of students who were assigned to live in Bundy and those transfer students who are new to the college. Grout also said that, because of overcrowding, there are 97

unh_appy men in the three d o w n h i l l. f r a t e r n i t i e s , approximately 10 0 unhappy men living four to . three-men rooms in the uphill dorms, and the six unhappy men in Bristol; all of which demands some patience. As a humorous aside, Grout said that one college man brought one stationwagon load of furniture and other personal property to school, but that college girls brought .i.t least one stationwawagon and half a trailer load of belongings, so he wouldn't even want to imagine what it was like Ior the eight women living in the oth�r Bristol dorm. In any case, he hoped that the Bundy Independent Section, which is to be ready by November, would help· relieve the general dissatisfaction with present living conditions.

West dormitory, which will house members of TKE and Delta Phi fraternities, should be ready for occupancy on or about Parents Weekend. East dorm is scheduled to open a month later, on or about Thanksgiving recess. Considering that papers and examinations are quite close to t h i s d a t e, the Housing Committee along with Assistant to the President Gilbert J. Grout has unofficially decided to leave the date of moving up to the individual student. West dorm will have full occupancy from the ranks of TKE and Delta Phi in addition t o a few i n d e p end ents. �p p r o x i m a t e l y f o r t y mdependents will be housed in E a st dormitory besides the members of Gryphon. Many of these independents will be coming from the overcrowded South and Carnegie dormitories on the Hill. The TKE house will not be demolished in two weeks as rumored. Director of Planning John H. Krienheder reported that the final contract has yet to be signed. The furnishings have been coming in slowly but surely. Mr. Grout said the New York State Dormitory Authority is handling this affair. The final landscaping of Bundy will be delayed until this spring, but drainage and snow removal will not be affected.

Andrew Wertz

According to Mr. Grout the reason that Bundy has been so delayed is that the state has control ov�r the construction company; the administration has been unable to apply pressure to the contractor. However, take comfort in the fact that the new -library is not in the same predicament.

Change In Attitudes On War 0 hserved On College Campus BY DENNIS OAKES A poll taken by the Spectator in December of 1965 showed that among Hamilton students and faculty there was strong support for the United States war effort in Viet Nam. The poll (responded to by appro ximately 4'0% of the student body and 30% of the faculty) found that 42% of students and 15% of the faculty polled advocated intensifying t h e w a r with conventional weapons, two-thirds of each group agreed that the United States had an· "obligation" to provide active military a,ssistance to South Viet Nam, and only 20% of the students favored immediate cessation of U.S. military -actions, in order to p r e ss for a n i m m ediate negotiated settlement. Most faculty members and students disagreed with the aims of anti-war demonstrations going on at the time. Seven of the 28 faculty polled indicated that the

U.S. should use atomic weapons against North Vietnam and Red Ch ina, a course of action endorsed by 15 of the 320 students who responded. _ 1965 was the first year of real intensification of the war by the Johnson Administration. There was growing concern, on the part of students and faculty across the country as our committment grew deeper. It is iriteresting to examine the lack of involvement that existed on Hamilton's campus in 1965 and the growth of committment since then. Many of the faculty members who were here in 1965 do not remember the poll, and were shocked, or at least visibly surprised, when reading a reprint of the poll's results. -. A quick glance at news releases, throughout 1965 shows that there was a rapidly expanding concern, on campuses throughout the country, over U.S. involvement in Southeast

Kirkland Considers d Non-Resident S tu Y .

BY ROBIN KRASNY. Kirkland students may soon have the option to study under a n o n - r esident program . Field-study has been designed to provide practical experience _in a chosen field, and would be "...tailored to meet the specific needs of Kirkland students," acc.ording to Patti Schultz '73, one of its organizers.' T h e p r o p o s a l w o u ld incorporate field study into Kir klands's official program. President Samuel F. Babbitt maintains that under existing policy, "We already have it." Dean Friedensohn agrees that while the option is open· to the 'student who can make the proper contacts, there · is no "institutional committment" to field study. Schultz and fellow organizer Leni Isaacs '72, feel that the field, study program would help students to plan a non-resident project. The proposal for field study, conceived last February, was presented to the Kirkland. Assembly at its October 7 m e e t i ng, and sent to thP, Curriculum Policy Committee for discussion. S o m e· o f t h e i d e a s incorporated into the program were a non-mandatory provision, field work to last a single

s emester at one time, the exclusion of freshmen because of the Core program, and a provision for sohpomores to delay their Humanities core until the junior year. The student enrolled in field study would receive either three or four course credits; three toward the major and one in a cognate area. The student would work closely with an · advisor who would evaluate her work during t h e sem ester. The maximum tuition charge .for this semester would be $500. If the program is approved the school will have to find jobs a nd establish contacts with proper groups in areas of student interests. "The main idea," Schultz says, "is to find the student a job where she will be missed after she leaves." Possible w ay s to find openings would be to pool Kirkland's resources with other o r g a n i z a t i o n s , s u ch a s Cooperative Education, which finds jobs for students providing the institutions furnish a worker 1 2 m o n th s a y ea r . An organization such as this insures that if one college cannot provide a worker another will. Kirkland cannot · e st ablish relations with such groups until i t m a k e s an official committment to field-study.

Asia. Protest took the- form of s t u d e n t d e m o n stra tions, teach-ins and public statements by many fa�ulty and student groups. There was an obvious lack of such interest on the Hill. The . facts seem to indicate that Hamilton was just a little slower, in responding to the situation in Viet Nam, than most colleges and universities. Professor Sidney W ertimer, • Chairman · of the Economics Department, finds that there is a point where people just get "tired" of what is going on; m a ny people have simply changed their views since 1964. O t her faculty m embers pointed to specific events which they felt had been turning points for the opiniona of many persons. History professor David Millar pointed to the year 1966, one yeai:_ after the beginning of Johnson's escalation of the war, as a time of general change in the academic community. Dr. Lawrence Yo urtee, Chairman of the Chemistry Department, found that the 1968 elections which brought the issues into sharper focus, and the Moratorium of last October, which provoked much careful thought and discussion, were events which gave the greatest exposure to a point of view in opposition to the war. , It was generally agreed that a poll taken at Hamilton today would show a marked reversal of the one taken on 1965. Such a reversal was thought by some as merely a demonstration of the willingness to reexamine this country's war stance.

E:dli 1toria1s Placement Hamilton's placement and guidance programs for Seniors are tragically inadequate. Last year thirty per cent of the graduating class had ' indefinite plans" at commencement time. This was a threefold increase over 1969. That 58 ·seniors did not have any plans after May 31 was not entirely their fault. Nor was it the fault of the draft, for two-thirds said that the Selective Service had no effect and three-fourths anticipated draft deferments. Much of the blame must lie with the College. It has been easy for the College to overlook poor placement and counseling. Only Seniors are affected, and because they are Seniors they are limited in their ability to initiate successful improvements. Their involvement is limited to silent disappointment and frustration. Job placement is so poor because their is no true Placement Office. The D'irector of the Bristol Campus Center, with all his responsibilties, doubles as the Director of-Placement. How does the College expect one person to perform both jobs? Mr. Wertz is new t9 the Hill, yet during the past two months he has functioned as efficiently as his predecessor. But his responsibilities as Director of the Campus Center are so time consuming that he cannot devote enough time to the Office of Placement. He suffers from one handicap - there are only so many working hours in any one day. Hamilton has a propensity for overburdening administrators. Until this year it unrealistically expected a man whose only activity should have been admissions to direct also the financial aid program for students. This summer Hamilton and Kirkland finally saw the need for a separate office for Student Aid. How much longer will Seniors have to wait before the College recognizes the need for a separate Office of Placement with a full-time director. How many mo·re unemployed Seniors are needed? Granted, jobs are scarce now and recruiters are no longer flocking to the Hill to interview Seniors. Hamilton could turn to its a_lumni body, however, and help Seniors find jobs. If the College would take the effort, we feel certain that alumni in large corporations and even small firms would more than welcome Hamilton graduates. Graduate school counseling, although generally better than placement, varies in nature and from department to department. Some professors feel the acad�mic transcript is the single most important factor determining graduate school admission. Others feel recommendations are most important. Still others adopt· a view that it is a combination of all factors. Whichever view is correct is not really important, but there is a need for a more unified and cogent system of counseling. For students who do not know wha-t they want to do after Hamilton, career panels should be re-introduced. Panels in law, business and banking, secondary school teaching, and government and international service should be set up at once. These would not benefit the Seniors, but they would help sophomores and juniors. Isn't it funny. If you read the Catalogue, and sub-freshmen do, you find out that Hamilton prides itself on preparing students for careers one� they le�ve College. It tells prospective students about its extensive counseling and placement opportunities. 4

Publishing The Publications Board voted this week to cut back on Spectator publishing by eliminating four issues during the 1970-71 school year. The Board is faced with a $5700 deficit from last year, and curtailment of four issues is one of many measures the Board is taking to pay this debt off over the next three years.

(The Bristol Center· was dedicated the same day) October 22, 1965: (editorial) "Student protests rarely effect any change, for most often only a small minority of students feel strongly enough about an issue to actively protest ir, a minority im!Ilcdiately subject to the indifference, polite disdain, or contempt of a content majority who are always willing to reiterate that, no matter what time or place it is, it is never the r(!fht time or place for an expression of dissatisfaction." "criticism of the United States' foreign policy by persons outside of the State Department will not effect the foreign policy or, more specifically, end the war in Vietnam. "

�eedback Obscenity Dear sirs: In the editon of the Spectator of October 9th, and interview was published with Miss Denise L�v e r t o v , a nd A r t ist-in­ Residence at Kirkland College this year. I n this interview, after · expressing her opinion that some peopJe, by the use of certain drugs "may open up their mind and imagination" to reach a certain imaginative relationship with life, Miss Levertov lists some of the things that she would do today "if God decided to end our whole existance tomorrow", one of which she designated by using a vulgar four-letter word. 0 f c o u r s e , the s u btle r e c o m m e n d at i on that Miss Levertov, currently a professor �t Kirkland College, makes of the use of drugs, is a matter that concerns the administration of Kirkland College and ultimately the parents of the girls that attend her classes. Naturally, what Miss Levertov would do today if God decided to end the world tomorrow, is a matter which concerns this woman only. But what does concern s t u d ents and professors at Hamilton College is that, for obvious reasons, expressions like the one used by Miss Levertov n o t b e ,utilized in t h e Spectator-no matter how many collections of poetry she has published. I wonder what the Hamilton College newspaper would be if it gave free rein to expressions like that used by Miss Levertov or to others of similar vulgarity. Sincerely yours, Jose B. Tato

Trustees To the Editor: On Tuesday, Oct. 20, the New · York Times reported that students at Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio had elected "three of their peers to sit on the college's Board of Trustees, with full voting powers and privileges." this step is by far one of the most enlightened moves that any American college can make. We, as students at Hamilton College, should certainly share the responsibilities of governing our college with its ultimate authority-the Board. This is our right and also our duty". I . therefore suggest that President Chandler in:unediately app_oint · a c o m m ittee to investigate the possibility of putting Hamilton unergraduates on the Board of Trustees. We deserve and can expect no smaller gesture. Theodore Leinwand '7 3

Inflation Dear Edit pr, Last weekend I discovered what is meant by "inflated prices." The phrase means having_ to p,ay $1.95 for two milkshakes and two · orders of french fries at Uncle Henry's Pa n c a k e R e s t a urant o n LaFayette Street in_ Utica. I guess I also now know how people end up having rich uncles like Uncle Henry. A little poorer, Steve Baker, '71

Drugs Dear Sirs: In your editorial of October 16 entitled "Drugs" you make the following s ta t e m e nt: "Students who use drugs must be . discreet, for discreetnes. · distinguishes drug use from drug abuse." l personally resent and deplore your statement, which, by i m p l ication, seems to· condone such "discreet" uses of drugs. Surely we are all aware now that any use of drugs without medical necessity and strict supervision is itself a drug abuse. Sincerely, Jeremy T. Medina (Assist. Prof. of Spanish)

Letzelter Having o c c u pied college housing at Hamilton for 17 years, I feel j!-1,stified in speaking out for Mr. Letzelter. He and his staff h ave tackled plugged toilets, water filled cellars, and complete remodelings · for the m o s t part p r o m tly a nd efficiently. They have make it possible for faculty husbands to study, teach, drink coffee at Bristol, and see stag movies-with little responsibility toward house m a intenance except to tell frantic wives, "Call Jack."

Charlatans React to Changes In Drama Allocations on Hill BY MIKE BARLOW Three events have caused a major· change in the field of campus drama. One is the hiring of a permanent director, Robert Harper, to supervise the new j o i n t Ha m i l t o n-Kirkland productions. The second is the firm refusal of the StudentSenat to allot the usual annual amount t o t h e C h a r l a t a n s, an organization they accuse of being unable to "allocate funds prudently". The last is the submission of a new budget by Harper to the President of Hamilton College calling for a s eparate and school-provided fund for faculty productions. Prior to this year, <!11 dramatic funds were made available by the Student S e n a t e and c h a n n e l e d t h r o ug h the Charlatans. The funds were to be parceled out by the Charlatans' governing board for student run productions. Howevtr, last year, out of a $3700 allotment by the Senate, only $1400 was actually u s e d t o f u n d s t u d ent productions. The rest, plus a $1900 over- expenditure on which further investigation is pending, was allegedly used to fund productions run by last

year's artists-in-residence, Mr. Rolfe and Mr. Simon. This was not the way the Senate envisioned this us� of the student money. When asked why the Charlatans' governing board allowed this to happen, John Gillick ( '72), a technical director of the Charlatan� replied "you can't go to a faculty member and tell him to stop spending money when his signature is good on a purchase slip. Furthermore, the allegations by Steve Baker . as reported in last week's Spectator article was untrue. He says that we've gone over our budget; That's not true. The overexpenditure was made by the artists-in-residence who are no longer on the scene, not by the Charlatans" This reporter checked records in the Business Office and while preliminary investigation does not bear out what Mr. Gillick says in its entirety, he does not �ppear to be too far from the truth. Research uncovered close to $300 spent by last year's artists- in-residence on hardware· alone. The total expenditure on costumes, lumber, and lights for faculty productions is expected to account for much of the

$ 1 9 0 0 that the Charlatans exceeded their $3700 budget by. Unfortunately, due to the complex record system in the Business Office which includes conputer read-outs uncorrelated numerically with actual bills of sale or purchase orders, exact verification of the Charlatans' f iscal polic y i s close to impossible. Mr. Harper, after admitting that for the first three weeks even he didn't understand the old system of funding, expressed hope for the autonomous system he has proposed. "The problem before was t h at everything was always transitory. Directors came and went. Costumes, money and sets came and went. Last summer, for some reason, they burned the entire and very expensive "Don Juan" set. Situations like t h e se naturally cause p r o ductions t o b e v e r y expensive. But when you have a more permanent set-up, you can build up a costume wardrobe, build up a stock of flats, and drasti cal ly dec rease future expenses. Up in Sturbridge, our biggest for one particular play was the royalty." Mr. H a r p er, incidentally, supplied the school, free of c h a r g e , with, the costume wardrobe and stock of flats built up from over 96 productions at the Merry-Go-Round Theatre in Sturbridge, Mass. While optimistic about Mr. H a r p e r ' s new budget the Charlatans reacted strongly · to the Senate's requirement that from now on all purchase slips be co-signed by the Senate treasurer and that- all purchases over $200 be approved by the Senate at large.

Frank Zappa andr the Mothers

Mothers Beautiful: AudienCe Reacts BY THOMAS WOLFLAND-SMITH Zappa did it. He fooled us, he freaked us, in his sublime manipulation of his music and his audience Saturday night in the gymnasium. The setting was perfect.· The college audience entered Hamilton's high school gym expecting to groove quietly on the Yowg bloods, a well packaged group. The audience was safe on this houseparty evening, all ready to cruise for burgers after the concert. Alas, the Youngbloods could not come; they had to stay home. Necessity brought the Mothers of Invention. The freaks flipped out, the straights moved out, and the rest sat anxiously as -Zappa and his group ambied up to their mountain of equipment a m i d b i l l o w y clouds o f marijuana smoke.

Make Choir a Credit Course,

Say Kir�land ·Choir Voiffs BY JUDY CROWN Kirkland members of the co-ed college choi:r don't get credit for their m us i c al preparation or performance. Members of the all Hamilton choir do. Kirkland's policy on this matter was formed in its first year and was a decision of the administration and the music d epartment. Music was not considered a major academic p u r s u i t , b ut rather a n e x t r a - c u rr i c ular a c t i v i t y . D issatisf ied Kirkland choir members ar� currently taking steps to make choir a credit course. They have proposed tht.ir idea to the Assembly who in turn have left the decision to t h e C u r r i c u l u m P o licy Committee. No action has yet been taken on this proposition. Student choir leader Kate Emlen feels that since Choir is taught by faculty it should be a

c r edit course. Unlike other student-run e x t r a c urricul� activities, the choir requires its members to do outside work such a s memorization and pr ac t i c e . M embers of the ·all-Hamilton choir take an oral exam at the end of the semester. Emlen feels that since music is offered as a major subject for students, all divisions of the music department should be given for credit. If all areas of the music department were given for credit, more serious music majors would be attracted. There is• opposition to this idea. President Babbitt feels that choir is not an academic pursuit; that one credit does not mean very much, and the choir should not need a false inducement to attract members. However, these are liis personal views, and he does not plan to force them upon anyone.

The evenmg was an event more than a concert. The lousy acoustics could not blur the astounding musicianship of Zappa and his friends. Among the fifties-vaudeville satires, the ·heavy rock, and the progressive jazz, Zappa and his group hinted at the full range of their talents. The long version of "King Kong" in the second set was the best music of the evening, because the Mothers played it so tightly, so together, so much in control. Under Zappa's precise direction the v o i c es and instruments united in amazingly c ·o m p l e x a r r a n g e m e n t s , i n t e r s p e r c e d -w it h long improvisational solos on various instruments. Zappa did not try very hard for most of the exening until his guitar solo in "King Kong." Ian Underwood, playing the organ, the guitar, and the clarinet, was a bit disappointing, possibly due to s o m e p r e c o n c e r t m ind alteration. In a new arrangement of "Call a ny Vegetable," the Mothers abandoned the short a capella ("And a· vegetable will respond to you") except for the last verse, in favor of a greasy 6/4 time, 1959-style three part harmony. From there _ they broke into their satirical antics which extended this piece· far beyond the length it comprises on t h e album "Absolutely Free." The piece was beatifully done. The Mothers were at their best when they forgot about their audience and played for each other. But since they cannot escape the-ir role as satirists, they could not forget their audience entirely. They had no qualms about laughing at themselves and at their music. The little vaudeville skits and the vocal ,theatrics kept bursting the bubble of tension built up by their music. Indeed, when the v o·c a l p a r t s c on s ist ,of coordinated burps, the music tends to satirize itself. By the end of the concert . Zappa had

��BS&T 3" Lacks Creativity, Shows Artistic Regression

Joel Swetow and Claudia Burke

Charlatans Present ('Dark of the Moon' The Charlatans will present "Dark of the Moon" by Howard Richardson and William Berney on October 29, 30, 31 and November 5, 6, and 7. Drama Professor Roger Harper is the director of the play. The play, featuring Joel A. Swetow '73. and Claudia Burke '72, is a fantasy dealing with w i t c hes and warlocks. The action occurs in a Southern town. In the play,John (Swetow), a warlock, falls in love with Barbara Allen (Burke), a mortal. He wants to become a mortal, and consequently he visits the Conjur Arnn played by John G. Rowe '71. The Conjur Man refuses to grant John his wish. However, the Conjur Woman played by Liz Horwitt, agrees to make John a human if Barbara can remain faithful to him for one year. The main action concerns the entanglements of John with Barbara Allen and the towns people.

According to one of the Charlatans, the play provides light-hearted fun to.complement the Halloween atmosphere·. Tickets will be on sale next week at the Bristol Campus Center.

It's probably a good thing I don't I?ave to sum up this album in one word, because that word would probably have to be Bleah. Or something equally descriptive. Now I realize that's not a terribly fair evaluation of Blood. Sweat, and Tears latest "effort," but then I told you I was glad I didn't have to use it. Besides, there are some bright spots on the album; it's not totally Bleah. Let's see now, covering those "bright spots" I'd have. to put Lew Soloff's trumpet solo on "Lucretia's Reprise" as number one. It's the most musical morµent on the album, and it comes might close to honest to g oo d n e s s - j a zz, w h i c h i s something BS&T i s reputed to play, but never really gets around to. Then, right under that comes "Something's Comin' On" which seems to be less pretentious and more musical than any of the other creations on the album.

Oh yeah, one more. Jim Fielder is a great bassist. (What's a nice boy like that doing in a group like this?) :\'ow for the opposite view. "Blood, Swe:Jt and Tears" (the second album) had songs written by Steve Winwood. Ste\·e Katz, La u r a l\'yr o , Da v i d Cl ayton-Thomas, and BS&T. "BS&T 3" has songs written by Steve \Vinwood, Steve Katz, La u r a l\'y r o .· D avi d C l ayton-Thomas, and BS&T. Now that's originality. The two major compositions on the album, "Symphony For The Devil/Sympathy For The Devil" and "40,000 Headmen" arc just okay ""(both were better in their original form), and even though "40,000 Headmen" is rather different and interesting to listen to, it just doesn't make it the third or fourth time around. T h e ns :.h e r e ' s D a v i d Cl ay ton-Thomas. Since he's become lead singer, the group

has taken the same direction the Jefferson Airplane would if Bobby Sherman replaced Gracie Slick. I don't want you to get the wrc;mg impression; I actually used to like BS&T. I play "Blood, Sweat and Tears" a lot, and "Child is Father to the :\Ian" ( their first album, with Al Kooper) is a masterpiece. It's just that "BS&T 3" is a d e c i d e d s te p b ack w ar d , especially for a year and a half's work; and ·1 don't think they should get away with it. Think of the junk they'll put out next time. And to top it off. Columbia uses this paragraph to describe the group: "Brash and exciting. their music is a wedding of rock and jazz. For you and for those who have waited so long - with polished p1·osc fancies - this album is a joy of vision and design, the freshest experience of its kind." What do you think of that'? Probably the same thing I do. If you don't have "Blood, Sweat and Tears '.3" forget abdut it and go out and buy their first album. It's a lot better.

An offer for a concert by Santana in the Utica Memorial Auditorium on Winter Weekend, February 27, has been made by Utica College, but has not yet been accepted by Santana. If the bid is accepted, Utica College will sell in excess of 1 ,000 tic kets to Hamilton's SEC, which in turn will sell the tickets to Social Tax holders at a reduced price and · to other students at the regular price. The bid made by Utica College was near $17,000. The SEC has made a bid for Livingston Taylor on January 16, but the offer has not yet b e e n a c c e pted. No announcement has been made c o _n c e r n i n g p r o s p e c t iv e e n t e r t a i n m ent f or B l u es Weekend on February 13.

"One of the most potent and far-reaching influences stirring up discontent; race prejudice and class hatred in this country is the large number of radical newspapers and other publications which are given wide circulation. Many of these publications frankly urge the overthrow of the government. The editors of these papers and the writers of these books have a subtle way of placing these programs before their readers, but their readers understand what is meant." - A. Mitchell Palmer, U.S. Attorney General, from Investigation Activities of the Department of Justice, 1919. Ever hear of the Palmer Raid? ,

The Mothers accepted the low bid because of the SEC's urgent need for a group and because they had no previous engagement. Frank Zappa was engaged by Simpson only three and one half hours aftei: he was notified of the Youngbloods' cancelation at 1 p.m. October

16.

The Mothers were chosen as the most attractive group from a n u m b e r of possible artists including Tommy James, Blues Magoos, Al Copper, Pat Paulsen, Lighthouse, and the Rascals. The prices of these groups ranged up to $10,000 for the Rascals.

QUIP OF THE DAY

Josh Simpson 72 Dave Van Ronk is scheduled to sing in the gym during Folk Weekend on November 14. Admission prices will be $1.5 0 for Social Tax holders and $3.00 for others. S t u d e nt E n t e r t a i n m e nt

THE

C o m m ittee Cb.airman Josiah James Lindsley Simpson Jr. explained that the SEC can afford to make offers to, such groups because the charge for the October 17 concert featuring Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention was much less than the fee for last year's F_all Weekend concert with Sly and the Family Stone. Sly cost the college $10,QOO, whereas Frank Zappa cost only $3,500. The reason for this reduced fee was that after the Y oungbloods were forced to cancel their concert, the SEC offered the Mothers the bid made to the Youngbloods. After ticket sales, the Mothers' net cost was about $1,600.

Simpson noted that the SEC is considering steps to stop students who have not paid their Social Tax from getting into concerts at reduced admission prices. The possibilities being considered by the Sec include an ID card check at the door of the concert.

Oxford Debaters Out·talk Hamilton BY MARK WIECHMANN M o nday e vening in the c hapel, the famous Oxford debat e team faced two Hamilton d e b a t e r s to r e s o l v e , ''l s A m e r i c a n Democracy A Failure ?" About one hundred spectators showed up to witn ess the debat e. lt was frequ ently interrupt ed by hostile questions and jeers thrown at the Oxford team. How ever, in the end, the o b s e r v e r s d e m o n s t r at e d ov e r w h e l m i ngly t h at they thought Oxford won th-e debate. David Perrin '73, the first speaker for Hamilton, pointed out th� injustices faced by minority groups in America. He also said that certain minorities were favored by the governme nt. Anthony Speight initiated O x f o rd's attack. Essentially, Speight emphasized the fact that the problems of the United States were minor compared to those of other countries and therefore, American democracy was. at least comparatively a s uc c e s s . H i s s p e e c h w a s interrupted by heckling. Th e s e cond speaker for Hamilton was Robert Rauch '71. Rauch said that pointing out America's compositive success to

the rest of the world was irrelevant for it did not resolve the topic. He also ree nforced P e r r i n 's stand, saying that minorities lacked a voice in government. Stephan Milliagan finis hed the first round of debating by speaking for Oxford. He· began w ith several anecdotes that includ�d dancing up. on the platform. The points me ntioned by Milliagan in· hi s speech swayed the majority of observers to his side. His argume nt was based on pointing out the s uccess of one vote to one p e r s on a n d majority rple. "Should these points not be tru e , w e w o u ld have an . ernme nt and no authoritarian gov d e m o c r a c y ," a n d h e convincingly said that any discrepancies in America lie not in the system, but in the people who run the system. His· s peech w�s frequently interrupted by h o s t i le questions from the audi ence. The rebuttals made by both sides essentially restated what was said be fore and me ntioned little ne w material. A division of the house found a vast majority on the Oxford side.

-Jreed.back Nice Things To the Editor: In the interest of promoting a new Spectator feature to be entitled, possibly, "Nice Things Do Happen at Hamilton," may I submit the following excerpt from a letter I have received from Anthony Speaight of the Oxford Debate team. You will recall that Messrs. Speaight and Millikan, of Oxford University, recently engaged Hamilton's Bob Rauch and Dave Perrin in a lively discussion of the successes and f a i l ur es of American Democracy. Anthony Speaight writes as follows: "It was a debate Stephen (Millik an) and I greatly enjoyed, and the most intellectually challenging one we have had so. far. We were also glad to encounter so interested and r e spon s ive an audience­ refreshing after the silent ones we have recently had, and a pleasant reminder of the Oxford Un i on. May we take this opportunity of congratulating the Hamilton team on two unusually fine speeches which had us quite woqied for a bit... We are extremely grateful." Sincerely, Charles L. Todd, Chairman. Department of Speech

G_oodell To the Editor: We are amused by the Ott irtger campaign for · the Se11ate in this state and by the ,Ottinger letter in the Spectator last w eek . T h e O t t i n g er campaign has two themes: l)that if you vote for Senator Goodell you will be electing Jim Buckley, and 2) that Ottinger dilivers. The first claim has been destroyed by events since Vice-President Agnew's foray into the state, as this week's article in the Spectator points out. The race is between Goodell and Ottinger; Buckley is now a minor candidate. T h e second c l a im -that Ottinger delivers-is questionable and we disagree with Bill Braman's claim that "Richard Ottinger needs to make no excuses for his record." The record is not impeccable in the least. Richard Ottinger has served in the House of Representatives for six years as a member of the majority party. Of the 361 bills that he has introduced in that time, only two have become law. They are the Hudson River Compact and its extension, neither of which accomplishes any s p ec i f i c environmental protection not pr<;Jvided for in other previous legislation. By contrast, in 22 months as a freshman. from the minority party, Charles Goodell has been responsible for 44 major pieces of legislatz"on that became law. On the environment, we applaud Congressman Ottinger for his active vocal role-for he

Panthers Take Second Half To Edge Continentals 21-20

Smashing

Pitchmen Beat Albany 2-1, Lose Battle to Harpur BY ROBERT ROSENBAUM

Take your typical houseparty Friday afternoon; cloudy, muggy and rainy. Add 22 fanatic soccer players, assorted extras, coaching staffs, two somewhat capable referees, and a pitch (needless to say, in hazardous . condition). And what do you h a v e? S u spense, a c t i o n , brutality.. �and mud, mud, mud. The Toon Twine ticklers versus Harpur College, 3-2-2 and 6-0 respectively. It was but two years ago that Harpur visited Hamilton College seeking an undefeated season, only to leave Clinton following a drubbing by the f eet of the Hamilton hooters. This year Harpur returned with a similar undefeated record, but left Hamilton victorious, handing Hamilton a 3-2 loss -- a d i s h e a r t e n i n g , seemingly unbelievable defeat. Things were looking "rosey" as Hamilton held a decided 2-0 lead after the_ first half of play. Go als by J i m "Squirrel" Campbell '73 - his third in as many games - and Nat "Pilgrim" F ollensbee '73, assisted by Co-captain Alan Braverman '71, provided the difference. Both goals came within minutes of each other. Only until late in the third quarter did Harpur register its first tally, and eventually tied the score at 2-2 with five minutes gone in the fourth period. Hamilton, with its lead gone, was unable to score, bouncing shots off the posts. With eight minutes remaining in the contest, Harpur scored its third and the game's final score, edging the Blue �ooters, 3-2. With its home record standing at 1-2-1, the Hamilton Pitchmen were looking for a win to salvage their somewhat uneventful home season, and the Sunyuns of Albany State proved to be the goat. But victory was achieved only throrough scrapping and hustling and a second overtime game winning score. Albany scored the game's initial tally in the secoI\d period,

slipping a shot beyond freshman netminder Steve Wagoner, who was substituting for injured goalie Roy Lekonby. F o r almost two periods Hamilton was unable to score on t h e S u n y u n goaltender. However: late in the fourth quarter, extremely late, only three minutes remaining in the game, did C.T. Fetscher- score, knotting the game at 1 and 1 and sending the · contest into overtime. Neither team tallied in the first overtime period. Theil in the second period, Campbell took a pass from Braverman and . drilled the shot into the cage for the game winning-score, much to the happiness of the Hamilton players and the dismay of the Sunyuns. Nex t W e d n e s d ay t h e Pitchmen travel t o Clarkson University, hopefully to improve on their record of 4-3-2.

J e r ry Pitaressi, s e n i o r co-captain o f the Hamilton College football team, has been an outstandin g performer on defense this year.

Under a new proposal before the lnterfraternity Council Rushing Committee there would be no Rushing Weekend, no Quota System, and no fraternity liquor parties for Freshmen during a three week Rusing Period inJ anuary. As in the past, houses would not be open to Freshmen from Thanksgiving to· Christmas. In addition, no upperclassman other than Advisers would be allowed in Dunham and no parties with more than five freshmen and five members of a single fraternity present would be penµitted. Committee Chairman James Morgan 71 explained that this was to help everyone study for finals. In the period of December i 9 through January 17, (including Blues Weekend) houses and Dunham would reopen. Then a three week Rushing Period would be in effect from January 17 through February 12, with houses open to Freshmen except at special social events. All other social gatherings would be forbidden. This three week Rushing Period differs from last year, when a single rushing weekend with virtually no restrictions was in effect. The Quota System where the total nwnber of available freshmen was divided among the houses according to need has also been dropped this year. Instead, a "limit system" will be adopted allowing each of the Bundy houses to offer 56 bids minus the present number of sophomores and juniors, while the other houses can offer bids equal to the number needed to fill current capacities. Up to one-third of the total bids for each house may be offered each of the first two weeks of the Rushing Period. In the thinl week, the houses may

lE:dli1toria1& Winter Study Once again disaster has struck Kirkland. By offering its · students a list of very very unimaginative and unappealing Winter Study projects, the administration and faculty have failed to protect the students' educational interests. That only two students from the four multilateral ex�hange schools signed up for Kirkland offerings, while 113 Kirkland women wanted to partcipate in programs at Colgate, �ells, Skidmore and Lincoln, indicates that Kirkland has not adjusted to Winter Study. Dean McN utt 's suggestion, that students set up one-to-one exchanges with schools not affiliated with the exchange program is impractical. What does it take for the administration to realize that students at other schools do not find the Kirkland list of projects attractive? There were even ve!y few Kirkland students who signed up for one of the thirteen Kirkland projects. Professor Maley's equation of independent projects with winter study programs at other campuses is unfortunate. At present, some students, especially freshmen, will suffer if forced to initiate independent projects. They require the structure of faculty-initiated programs. We ask the Hamilton administration to rescue the Kirkland woman from her dilemma. Because of Kirkland's crisis, the administration should consider Kirkland and Hamilton applications for Hamilton Winter Study projects equally. Hamilton students shpuld not be given priority.

Erratum We Would like to clear up some inaccuracies -that were reported in the last issue about the HamiltoirHorizon's·· program. We reported that the idea for the Hamilton Horizon's series was originated last spring. It was actually originated last fall. The program is in no.way affiliated with the Alumni Council, as the article suggests, and the Office of Alumni Affairs, not the faculty, selected most of the alumni who were invited to attend. The article also reported that the alumni accepted drug use. It is more accurate to say. that the alumni were sensitive to the problem of drug use, not only at Hamilton, but on college campuses in general.

To May Class Curtailment BY ROBERT �HAN Several Hamilton College department chairmen expressed parti dissatisfaction with the resµlts of the easing of a�ademic requirements to allow involvement in political activities last May. Granted in the wake of Cambodia and Kent State, the relaxation took two forms: extensions until October 15 on submission of papers and perm1ss10n to switch course · grades to pass-fail.

Professor Wertimer expressed reservations about the mertis of pass-fail grading, commenting "I think a lot of students took advantage of it." History Department Chairman David M.

Students to .Evaluate

Last Term's Courses BY PETER SPELLANE Curriculum Student The Committee intends to publish a booklet of criticism of Hamilton courses before election of course·s for next semester are due. Critiques, which will be written by members . of the committee, use will questionnaires answered by sophomores, juniors and seniors as the basis of information. The questions asked concerned courses offered last spring. Several faculty members have expressed .enthusiasm about this - undertaking. Physics Professor James W. Ring said that students have a unique position to judge a course of instruction. Such judgment, including negative criticism, can be very valuable but must be done in a constructive way. English Professor George L. Nesbitt said, "I've seen the questionnaire. It is a good, objective, serious and probably helpful thing they've cooked up." Asked whether negative criticism could be taken wrongly by faculty members, Mr. Nesbitt said, "I wouldn't think so. No one wants to be duller than he need be. Anyone should be glad to hear if a textbook was unhappily chosen, or that dis·cussion didn't go right.

BYJIM VICK The purpose of this column is to make known the fact that student opinion of the infirmary is negative and impedes the effectiveness of this vital service provided- by the colleges. It is also obvious th at this negative opinion, whether or not it is justified by students' experience of alleged misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment, must be remedied. It is the oblig ation of the administr ations of Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges to investigate the situ ation through students and to take appropriate action. Student opinion of the Health Center is generally negative, according to a recent survey conducted by the Spectator. 25 per cent of all Hamilton and Kirkland students answered the poll, which was conducted in the second week in October. This sample, which is large enough to be considered valid, indic ated that students generally lack confidence in the effectiveness of the infirmary but are forced to go there because of the absence· of a convenient ' inexpensive alternative. Bec ause only 18 per cent of Kirkland's student body responded to the poll, comp arisons of the answers of separ ate classes of Kirkland would be invalid. The 24 per cent response by every H amilton class, however, justifies analysis by classes of the Hamilton response. 44 per cent of all Hamilton and Kirkland students would hesitate to st ay in the infirma ry if they were advised to do so. The Hamilton classes having the greatest proportions of students with such reservations were th� juniors (49%) and sophomores (45%). Four-fifths of the Hamilton freshman class would stay in the infirma ry without hesitations. One-third of all students who returnt::d questionnaires felt that they would not seek aid in the infirmary if they were seriously ill or injured. The highest number of negative answers in this respect came from Hamilton juniors· (55%) and seniors (66%). Only 5 per cent of the freshman answers to this question were negative. Questions:

According to the results of the poll, 24 per cent of a ll treatment which Hamilton students have received has been ineffective, and 46 per cent of the treatment of Kirkland students has been ineffective. The freshman class of Hamilton holds more positive views on _every question than the other classes of H amilton. The segment of Kirkland students that answered the poll gave a greater proportion of negative answers to every question than any H amilton cl ass, showing that Kirkla nd students are even more dissatisfied with the Health Center than the Hamilton students. Comments written on ,the questionnaires by students pointed out specific weaknesses which they think should be remedied. Most common among Hamilton students' remarks was the expression of a lack of confidence in the resident physician's ability to set broken bone..s or to diagnose illnesses. Several students related mishaps in which they or their friends had been involved. Also frequently mentioned by students were the unavailability of a doctor in emergencies and the short clinic hours. Bpth Hamilton and Kirkland students raised tliese points. Students of both campuses also criticized the practice of the nursing staff of di agnosing illnesses and of freely prescribing and distributing chugs without consulting a · physi�ian. A drug commonly mentioned specific ally as bemg· too freely prescribed and distributed was penicillin; students also complained of being given drugs to which they were allergic. The most common complaint among Kirkland students was that the infirmary still lacks a full-time or part-time gynecologist. More than one girl . pomted out that the need for a gynecologist on a campus of 400 women is critical. Several students mentioned in their comments their lack of confidence in the competence of the resident physician in this field. One girl recalled a specific incident in which the resident physician h ad made obvious his lack of knowledge in gynecology.

student who uses illegal drugs is fully aware of the possible punitive consequences. When this use is discrete he subjects only himself to any possible consequences. Furthermore, if a stu.dent feels a ne.cessity to use �rugs, and is thus willing to accept the consequences, who are the editors of the Spectator to tell him he should not'! The student who uses drugs indiscretely, is however, .subjecting others to possible punitive conquences. The student who fla.unts his drug use increases the probability of intervention from outside law enforcement agencies. In the event of such intervention, even those students who do not use drugs at all will suffer. The editors of the Spectator cannot and do not co_ndone such indiscretion.

If one were Claudia Berk and Joel Swetow to accept Soldier Blue-but that's just it. Theree's nothing there to accept. The movie never even attempts to investigate causes and currents.

Charlatans Successfully Act <-Dark of the Moon' Despite Hectic Production Schedule There are two ways in which an audience can walk into a play. On the one hand, they can walk into a dirty lobby, into an auditorium where the seats are not neatly arranged, where paint is still drying on the flats, where all the crews are haggard and tir;d-looking, not to mention the director and the cast. Or they can walk into a play where the floors of the lobby have been scrubbed clean, where there is not paint on the auditorium floor, the paint is dry on all the flats, and where the crews, actors, and director have slept well in the preceeding days� It has been done before, even on this Hill. Unfortunately, that is not the case with Dark of the Moon. One might wonder what the difference is, if any, between the two examples. It is simply that a play is more than the actors on stage and the lines they have memorized. A play begins the moment the audience enters the lobby, for here they have the first insight into what you are going to

see-a half-assed production or a finished product. This is NOT t_o say that Dark done is Moon the of half-heartedly. Anyone who happened to stick his head into the Minor Theatre the week before the opening was roped into helping out, whether for 10 minutes or 5 days. The director above all, wants the play to come off well, for it reflects his talent. The actors, too, do not want to be seen in anything that shows them to a disadvantage, and the crews feel the same about the work they have put into a show. -So who was the enemy in this case? Time. Director Robert Harper had from the end of audition week three and one-half weeks to produce a play that would be ready for Parent's Weekend at Hamilton. That might have been time enough had he a-scale drawing of th� stage and the sets from which to begin to build and light the �ets. But that also takes time. No actor is overjoyed at construction

sets, and so John Gillick had problems, once he had the set drawings, getting technical crew to build the set. John Swinney had a double problem finding a lighting crew and then trying to light something that was, until the last minute unbuilt. Thanks to the costumes from Sturbridge, Julie Beinecke did not have to sew, and she had relatively few problems. Ann Williams�had last minute props to find (where would you go to find a pot-bellied stove?) and then transport up the Hill, when she herself without was transportation. With so much time necessarily devoted to the technical side of the show, Harper had little time to coach the actors, save for run-throughs and notes. All of the actors had to rely on their own imaginations for many of the "bits" they came up with to add an identity to their parts. It became necessary for Harper to cancel his own classes during the last week to try to put the show together. Long evenings were spent by everyone-actors, director, crews-in trying to meet the deadline and, consequently, many people had little more than 5 hours of sleep or less of the last week. Too much time can sometimes lead to the same problems in a production. Unfortunately, at Hamilton, a ·quickie production like Dark of the Moon is the usual case. Let all of those interested in good theatre at Hamilton and Kirkland pray-no, work-for a more intense program that will result in better timed and organized productions. Harper has some extremely useful ideas, and perhaps this production will ppint out that they need to be put into practice.

Minor Theater Unable To Meet Drama Needs

BY ALAN SPECTRE The Clark H. Minor Theatre, built in 18 7 2 and original! y christened the Perry H. Smith Library, was later converted into an infirmary and finally in 1962 ihto a theatre. Despite this colorful history, Minor Theatre is somewhat limited in its ability to handle the needs of the Hamilton-Kirkland drama. "The Minor Theatre's first drawback is its stage which," according to John Gillick '7 2, Technical Director of the Charlatans, "is a fine stage; it's just that the theatre is too small for the stage. We have no wings, no backstage, and not enough room to accommodate our audiences. And our seating capacity is cut by one-half when we do theatre-in-the-round." The seating capacity at Minor is 250. Problems are also encountered set design, of terms in construction, and storage. The basement area, which is designed for set construction, is not only dimly lit, but it is also too small to accommodate work ort more than one set at a time. Access from this area to the stage level is restricted to one spiral staircase whose diameter does not permit the transport of any large pieces of scenery. Consequently, all work of a large scale must be done on the first floor, and construction is limited to eimes when rehearsals or classes are not scheduled. The problem is aggravated by an almost total lack of storage at Minor Theatre, a fact wh:ch

might explain this summer's of the extremely burning expensive Don Juan set by the groundskeepers. All the flats are now kept in the barn behind Delta Phi. Gillick stated that difficulties also arise from the theatre's lighting potential. "The lighting system is far less than adequate. And the problem is with the control unit, not the lights. The unit just doesn't have the capacity to handle our lights which means that we are faced with a constant choice of burning out our rheostats or cutting power back to household This levels." illumination appears bed Procrustian only resolvable through procurement of a new unit. The that claim an Charlatans adequate, modularized, portable control unit would cost $6,000. The Minor Theatre also lacks a complete sound system. The theatre has no turntables, tape deck, or output microphone systems. Decks and turntables are borrowed from students along with tapes and records; for Minor ha� no library sound encompassing either basic or special effects. Members of the Charlatans feel that the Kirkland Assembly's decision to allocate $400 for the expansion of the Charlatan's program schedule will not alleviate the situation: more productions will be taking place which will only serve to tax the already strained facilities at Minor.

The larger wooden signs cost fifteen dollars to make, and they usually take one hour of labor by a "notoriously slow" carpenter to put up. Each hardhat costs seven dollars and is supplied to the work�r by the builders. Often, the rationale for stealing from a construction site is that one is merely stealing from an institution, not from people who care. Mr. Hanson, in reply to this reasoning said that D.

A major objective of the Committee in its subsequent meetings will be to develop a list of students and faculty who can be "articulate spokesmen" for the college in its quest for funds. The Cqmmittee will also attempt to "develop ways and methods by which the current needs of the college can be compared with projected ones." The latter will be the first step in establishing an "orderly way of evaluating the priorities of the projects which come before the committee;" Wallace stressed that the Committee will have to inform the trustees of student and faculty opm1ons which will trustee influence hopefully policy. Wallace pointed out that although the ultimate selection of projects and proposals is made by the Trustee Long Range Planning Committee, the "two most basic and integral elements in the college community," faculty and student, also serve on this committee.

Kunstler To Speak ·Wednesday

Continued from page 1 following among youths across the nation. Despite his support of factions, numerous radical Kunstler has stated that he has not lost faith in the American Political System. He believes that it has a chance to survive and endure as it stands today. In describing his professional manner, Mr. Kunstler has said, "I only defend those whose goals I share. I'm not a lawyer for hire. I only defend those I love." Kunstler is a very moving speaker. His excess of emotion is combined with an outstanding amount of common sense at times. Hisstyle is more of a lecturer than an orator. The audience to Mr. reaction Kunstler's �ords is frequently overwhelming. A few months ago, before a crowd of 7,000 at the University of Hlinois, Kunstler said, "We have a duty to do more than legitmate authority. protest There apparently is ·not going to be an ear to listen to our protest. Theref�re, since protest is not listened to, we must turn to other forms. Now these forms vary from place to place.... ''There is absolutely nothing wrong, in history or in law, with the seizure of a university building if the university has failed to listen to reasonable argument. There will be a time when buildings should be burned down."

It is after ten years of attempts at peaceful demonstrations, non-violent sit-ins, attempts--marches, strikes, from which participants have, almost from the outset, been dragged, beaten, gassed, and, worst of all, ignored by the agencies of the government; it is after this that dissenters have come to expect violence, to be defensive of it, and finally to return it,. in a state of such with hopeless frustration "channels" and vaporous promises of bureaucrats that they see no other . recourse but violence.

Nancy Grieshaber, '71: "Kirkla1_1d didn't offer a very interesting or provocative variety of courses. There was little to choose from. As a result, many students were driven to do indepen dent study or work at home. More should have been offered on campus. If the independent option didn.'t exist, I shudder to think what would happen. Th�re was a lack of opportunity, and I was d isappointed in Kirkland's initial offerings." Alison Root, '72: "Wint�r Study was done pretty poorly. Nothing was organized. No one was informed. Last year more information was given out and things were done in a more organized fashion. We knew our alternatives." Molly Clark, '72: "If Hamilton and Kirkland are coordinate schools, Winter Study should be coordinated. It shouldn't be done half way." One freshman felt that she didn't have enough freedom in independent study, and that Kirkland's supposedly liberal arts schedule was pretty stiff. Most students agreed that the programs were far too disorganized, and that there was insufficient planning of courses and registration. Most espoused hope that steps will be taken now to avoid a fiasco next year.

Radical Speakers List Released Despite Ban WASHINGTON(CPS)--A Controversial report listing honorariums paid to 65 alleged radical campus speakers has been filed with Congress despite a federal order banning its official publication by the government. The report, based on information provid�d by 95 colleges, concluded that if a sampling of only 3 1/2 percent of the nation's higher education institutions could turn up honorariums to alleged radicals totaling nearly' $109.,000, "the campus speaking circuit is certainly the source of significant financing for the_ pr��.?J�rs of . . . . .. , . . - . . . . .

Wesleyan Cardinals Rally, Upse t Continentals 25-22 Mark Rice's ineffectiveness establish to inability and Hamilton's wide-open passing attack offset courageous efforts by freshmen Davicl Mackintosh and and Charles Liebling, sophomoreJim Knodel in a 25-22 loss to Wesleyan University last Saturday. Mackintosh, in his first start, showed signs of brilliance as he scampered for several long gains against the Cardinals.. His ability to hit the holes quickly and follow his blockers replaced that something which has been missing on the Hamilton team this fall. Along with Paul Holmes, who has been lost for the season with a knee injury, the two established a fine running game throughout the first half. Freshman Liebling, a big 6' 2" 200 pound defensive end, has all the qualities that will make him an excellent defender: speed, size and agility. Many times he turned Wesleyan sweeps to the inside and dealt out crushing blows to the Cardinal quarterback. This was the second week in a row that the opposing team has failed to sweep the left side of our defensive line. Jim Knodel has really come into his own this season after a disappointing freshman year. An excellent punter as well as a fine cornerback, Knodel returned an interception sixty-eight yards for a Hamilton touchdown in the third period and dashed for a first down in a punting situation to set up another Continental drive. However, the Wesleyan game

seemed to symbolize all the Continental frustrations this fall. 'Against Rochester, Middlebury, St. Lawrence, and finally last weekend against Wesleyan the Blues have either been content to sit on an early lead and·watch in agony as it disappeared in the last minute of play, or fall just short of an exciting comeback win.Just one play in each· of the four lost games has made the difference between a 2-4 and a 6-0 season. Nothing worse can possibly happen to a football team than to lose games like these. Wesleyan was the team the Continentals most wanted to beat. Defeating a member of the "Little Three" does take an edge off some of the other losses especially since the Cardinals were last years Lambert Trophy winners, symbolic of Eastern supremacy in the middle sized colleges. The Cardinals have come to believe that no one west of the Hudson can play football, �ut every year their coach reminds them' that a game with Hamilton is a tough, scrappy contest. That is exactly what it was. The Continentals "played their hearts out;" they wanted to win so badly, at first the game was ours, but suddenly it wasn't. This week the Blues will face Alfred University, not a "Little Three," but probably the best small college team in the East. They are very beatable just like all the others, but the Hamilton spirit and morale is very low, and a victory will be hard to come by.

Before a "massive throng" of thirty spectators looking on the Hamilton cross-country team culminated its first undefeated dual meet season in 11 years by crushing an inspired Union contingent by the score 23-35 over the 5.1 mile Kirkland glen course. Hamilton junior Ken Judson, rebounding from a· record-breaking 14:50 3-mile track time at Colgate earlier in the week, took individual honors as he outdistanced ace Tom Carr en route to a 26 :44 clocking--a scant 15 seconds off Carr's coirrse record. Following co-captain Carr in second place came co-captain Jim Bilik in fifth -place. Reminiscent of the crucial role they played in the Cortland victory, Hamilton's · freshman "gang" (7 of 11 starters are freshmen) once again provided the depth necessary to clinch the meet; Vito Stellato, Paul Ford, and Dave Carlisle · finished in a flurry of seventh, eighth, and ninth place to quell any Union hopes for an upset. Junior Marc Peuron · provided an additional displacement point finishing eleventh to round out the scoring. The hoofers now aim for the State Conference meet next week at the University of Buffalo. The championship' meet will pit Hamilton, Brockport State,

Roberts Weslyan, and Cortland State in a virtual dogfight for the top spot. All four contenders are endowed with remarkably strong front threesomes although the winner of the meet should be decided by the showings of their

fourth and fifth runners. The steady improvement shown by the Hamilton contingent must ultimately manifest itself in supra-normal performances by these fourth and fifth spots if the Blue is to make a run for the title.

Free School of Clinton Begins Term Smoothly BY BRUCE WILLIAMS Over 125 people from the Hamilton-Kirkland community and t h e s urrounding area attended the first two weeks of the Free School sessions. Stu Kestenbaum '73, Steve Weisman '73 and Betsy Hume '73 stated that the classes are "more s uc cessful" a n d "running smoother" than last year. The most heavily attended classes were Macrame and the Music of Beethoven. However, Kestenbaum emphasized that "all classes seemed to be going well." D i r e c t ors e x p r e s s e d disappointment in the :Qumber of people who only talked about the school but never actually attended classes. One class had to be cancelled before the start of the school simply because it generated little interest, while two new courses, Yoga and Musical Instruments From Trees, were just started. Of t h e t o tal 125 odd participants, 20 from outside the Hamilton Kirkland commun ity sign ed up foi: classes, including three · Utica women in the

cinema course. Several p:i:of.essQrs . expressed interest in experimenting with new educational ideas in the context of the Free School outside of a strict classroom environment. A benefit in the Coffeehouse for the Free School netted $100. The Free School anticipates an add it i o n al $150 from the S t u dent Senate Contingency Fund. Kestenbaum commented that "the organizers have no say in what goes on. The classes will do what they think is right." A person may initiate a class at anytime he wishes and any course will be continued as long as there is interest in it.

score of at least 600 in the CEEB Ac hievement Test in foreign language may be substituted for the-proficiency examination." Dean Friedensohn went on to say that the only two divisions that absolutely require language proficiency are humanities and science. For an arts division major, the requirement depends on the relevance of the language to the s t udent's individual p r o g r a m . It has not been d e ter m i n e d i f a n int erdepartmental major will h a v e to ,fulfil l a l a nguage requirement. A social science major has two alternati ves: she can show competence in either statistics or m ethodology. One course in either subject at Hamilton should enable a student to meet this requirement. The student should be able to pass the language proficiency exam after one year of a language at a college level. The French, German, and Spanish exams are made up by Hamilton language departments. Exams in languages such as Hebrew and Latin arc either made up at Kirkland or obtained from other sources. All exams include no oral work. There is no limit to how many times a student may take the exam. The decision whether a student passes is made by faculty members who grade the tests. Dean Friedensohn indicat-ed that if a. student finds she cannot pass the exam, he can get around it by changing her division major. Also, there is the possibility that by ha ving an int erde partmental major the student will not have to meet the language requirement. A student who has completed her junior year without meeting the requirement can ask for an extension of another semester, at the end of which she will repeat the proficiency test.

)Edi1toria1s Opinion Although we have explained th e nature of th e column "Comment" several times in the past, recent complaints received by th e editors of the Spectator reflect a misunderstanding of the column's purpos e a n d inci d ence. More i mportantly, these complaints may r eflect confusion over the various forms of opinion expressed in the Spectator. Fortunately, dispersing doubts about the official opinion of the Editorial Board is a simple_ task. Only mono graphs identifi ed as and appearing un der the heading EDITORIALS represent opinions of the editors of th e Sp(!ctator. Columns written by m emb ers of the the Spectator staff reflect the views only of the columnist. Similarly, r e v i e w s w h i c h appear in the Art.; and Entertainment section reflect th e opinions only of the r eviewer. The editors will not tamper with the opinions of a columnist or reviewer. We will only seek to insure that he expresses his views cogently and maintains a certain journalistic objectivity. It would b e most unfortunate if all opinions expressed in th e Spectator emanated fr m a select few. Newspaper editors do not have a monopoly on opinion, even if they sometimes act as if they .do. We also fe el we have a r esponsibility to print opinions not originating within the staff. "Comment" is one vehicle used to fulfill this

responsibility. Letters to the E ditor is anoth er. It is unfortunate that "Comm ent" is not used by more of our readers with greater consistency. Its irregular incidence, however, should n ever be constru ed as further editorial opinion of the editors of the Spectator.

In spite of the limited acc ess to the ·site, the cons_truction crew has contained the c onstruction. In a remarkably small area, preserving trees, gras� and roads wherever possible. In contrast to that omnipresent construction workers at Kirkland, who peer through windows in the morning and take a few peaks in McEwen during lunch, the workers at the library are hardly noticed. Stop by and watch Fred Hansen's team at work. They are perhaps the most professionaJ group at work on the Hill. They certainly get more done with less noise than anybody else.

Commen.1t BY JOHN EAGER S itting here surrounded by a collection of Mencken acidity, I started wondering what I could write about. Television perhaps, with its phosphor-dot illusions and McLuhanesqu e fantasies. A book ma ybe, of some caustic comments about public notabl es. Have you ever walked through the fourth stack level of the library and thought about all those men who spent years of their lives in the product ion of a book no one would read rLook at the titl es sometin, es, perhaps reading the introductions or glancing at chapt er headings. There 's a degrading mortality about ideas. So, in writing. I must remember tha t even if one person were to adopt an . idea offered here it will. soon be forgotten- even the most offensive. I have to admit to being bored with articles and letters on drugs. At wh at st age of cultural adolescence do we learn to accept responsibil ity for our mistakes?America , drugs are not a problem, they are a symptom. Break aw ay from Comer Pyle cavorting around in the M arine Corps that never gets anywhere near burning babi es long en�ugh to admit you made some mistakes. Yes, even in America mistakes can happen. Recognize that your children are the true judgment of your own ability to coµe with the world-as our childlren will be the me."tsure of our ability. But I digress. If America has a drug problem, it is because one is wanted. Bear with me. Face it, drugs were used for years to keep the blacks in the ghettoes, to keep them under the white · establishment's control. Malcolm X saw that.Are we too smart to learn from him?Is it so hard to see that drugs have been used to alienate the youth of the country, creating a polarization that obscures the r eal probl ems'ils it so hard from there to sec that this is done by the people who don't want America to sec the problem? Is it so hard to see who they are? They've tried to convince our parents that nothing we do is valid, that all youth movem ents should be suspected as being part­ of the International Communist Freako-Pervo-D evo-Sickie World Conspiracy. Ecologists: Do you want to get the Average American to help you? Explain to him that his property values arc damaged by polluti..on, that the bureaucraci es of union and business are hurting the very thing he's working for.But don 't expect him to believe you, no matter how solid the evidence. Can you remember how much effort has gone. into proving that the Cambodian incursion was a success, even though Phnnm Penh is falling to the communists:Can you see that it's just one more step to discredit anything we say? Drugs are not a problem. Ali_enation is a probl em. Fear is a problem. Ignorance is a probl em. Or are they merely symptons of diseased Am erica? We'd better learn fast, befor e the age of repression starts-an age that will make the Stalinist purges look like a child's birthday party.

THE SPECTATOR ·----------------------------------------------------

Willialll l(unstler Talks About The following interview of r:hicago . Seven Defense Attorney William Kunst/er was conducted by Paul Hagerman. Mr. Kunst/er was at Hamilton and Kirkland last Wednesday evening, November 11, when he addressed close to a thousand memuers of the college community in the Hamilton Gym. Mr. Kunst/er consented to the interview prior to his /P.r:turc. Mr. Kunst/er, why are y.ou here? What message are you trying to bring to the type of student found at a ...ather staid, middle class, small liberal arts college. ? Kunstler: That's much too formal a way of putting it, I think. Oue, I'm here simply because we have an invitation, two, the money comes in very handy for our appeal, thirdly, and most important, I have taken almost every opportunity to speak whether it pays or it doesn't pay, whether or not it's on a campus-type situation or not. As far as message goes, I have a rather abrasive ihing to discuss, and that's my own opinion as to whether there is a revolutionary fervour, whether there is a possibility of a revolution. I am looking for a revolution. The word revolution has many definitions. I think my definition might be different from someone else's. But I am looking for a revolution in American life. My hope is that... ! guess I have to have this hope, that it occurs non-violently. My feeling is that it probably cannot occur non-violently...not totally, anyway. Essentially, that's the message. Do you think that left-wing violent revolution can succeed in this country? K. No. The idea of a classical-type revolution can never succeed. The French Revolution, storming the Bastille-I think that's a myth now. It's too urban a society, too industrialized a society. I think, though, that a r"evolution of a c1'laos is possible, that chaos in the ghetto, chaos on the ce campus, is the type of revolution of the future. You can't win an armed revolution, you can be terroristic. You can blow up buildings, you can ere.ate panic, that can be q.one. But there's no victory in an armed struggle. It might hold the ghetto, and it might hold a few campuses but I don't think you could get a military victory. It will be a Vietcong type, a limited Vietcong type. operation. I don't think that's more than a hope.

c ou11 t c r-reaction. You never know. destroyed, ::ts a kind of a Reichstag fire; history is never static.it's always fluid . very successfolly employed in Germany. I think that the statement is conect on To take an instance, there, actually done by the state, by the Nazi party, here, both levels. There is polarization because maybe done spmetimes by the state, too, of the bombing; and the policemen. But I but to take incidents that arc violent in think that instead of looking at those nature and then to upgrade them, so that things and being angry about them, the they appear to encompass a m�ch wider dominant culture would be far better off spectrum of S(icicty, take the radical �o try to understand them. The strategy student, and then to expand him till it's of the Administration with rnrying almost every student, I think is always a degrees of success is to point out the useful device qf all stystems. I think to student, the· radical student, and utilize him as the scapegoat for all 1·he problems fall for it is very dangerous. As the of the ..:ountry, even to the extent of German people fell for the Reichstag. having FBI agents throw rocks at the Extremely dangerous. President's car. I firmly believe that they I think anyone can criticize bombing a bu il di ng--I d o-c r i t i c ize killing a • did. I think the reaction of the President, showing the car on the television screen, policeman. But those are minor episodes, so that we can sec the dcnts,_I'm sure that and should not obscure the major fight, there arc dents in the car, but the shoul<ln't obscure the fact that the provocateur is a very, very dangerous sign s�,stem is going_ to try to scare everybody, of the times... occurs everywhere. and use that to expand outwards. It's a very effective device. The use of the Communist Party by our government was Do you think perhaps that the._ next step the o r i g i na l s capegoat. Now the might be instead of a revolution towards Communist Party is essentially in favor, progress a repression towards fascism? and taken off the list. They've served their purpose. Now, they have seventy K. That's a possibility. I don't think it's percent FBI agents paying dues. So it's as likely in the United States as it was in served its purpose. Now the Panthers are · Nazi Germany. I think we have th�se on the list, the students are on the list. contradictions of the system that exist, a Secondly, the second part of the feeling about free speech, that certain question was_ that nothing has happned gives you a certain leeway. You have since May. Well, the Boston Tea party these traditions which are contradictions was in 1773. And nothing happ�ned in themselves. They are essentially myths, much until 1776. It doesn't all come at but they do exist and are valuable. once. These are all progressions to So I think that you could have two some thing else. You can't keep the same answers to that problem: repression will level of energy. But that's nothing desperate. That's nothing that means that · destroy us all, or repression will produce a counter-reaction and heighten the people must say, "we hit the peak in struggle. I think there's just as much May, now hr our lifetime it's all over. chance of that happening, maybe more so We're done." That's not true. I don't than that we go under and become just a know what the next episode will be. Kent police state. Germany was easier because State is reliving again, now, is reliving the German traditions did not have the again now with the indictments. No, I great contradictions in their system. The don't know what the next step is, Weimar Republic was 011ly eleven or something is going to happen somewhere. twelve years old. Prior to the Weimar The situation is getting too intense, on Republic there had been authoritarianism too many levels. It may be provoked by a d i s c i p l i n e o f B i s m a rck, t hen r ter orist. A terrorist may set off a bomb Hohenzollerns, ending up with World.War ten minutes from now, somewhere. And One. Then you have eleven or twelve that may produce a counter-reaction, and y e a r s o f. democracy, with certain p r o d u c e a n o t h er w iil that libertarian traditions. All that was wiped

Well, aren't we already in the midst of that kind of revolution now? K. No. It's not that chaotic. It almost was in May. I think that's what caused the �--g;reat fear, what caused the whole emphasis on campus disorder to reach the proportions it has. Those who really run the show were very much afraid. It seems that more people arc coming to be shocked and afraid and intolerant not only of what reformists-radicals are doing, but what they have to say, and the main uprising seems to be growing smaller-more isolated. All that energy that moderate and liberal students were supposed to put into the reform of the system last May has dissipated very rapidly. K. You're speaking on two levels. And I think we have to address ourselves on two levels. First of all, to be turned off -:because a policeman is killed or a building is bombed I think is a mistake. This is going to be used, this abrasive thing of policemen being shot, of buildings being

away was twelve years. It didn't have enough hold yet to prevent the possibility of a creation of a vocal dissenting society, that we have here. Repression is very rough now. There are absolutely unheard of things going on. People arc murdered in their beds like Fred Hampton. Or they're shot down in campuses. ,\nd then you have the grand jury exonerate the murderers. We have trials going on. political trials '. all over the country, on every level. :-\ poor guy invites me to speak in .Jacksonville. Florida. lie has to get a fc dcral 111.1uction to get the c1v1c auditorium, and then is arrested 7 times in a row. on everything they could possible arrest a man for, starting with a faulty muffler-they just watched him day in and day out. Seven straight times in the space of two months they arrested him. a man who had no arrest record beforc...but that's only minor, that's only harrassmcnt. But there arc people facing th c d ca th penalty. like Scale in Conncticut. or Erica Iludgcns. there arc· people who arc facing long terms of imprisonment, like the Panthers in New York. It's all so easy. Informers arc the order of the day. Everybody is an informer now. You hear the policemen. testifying against the Panthers, how do you disprove it?You cannot disprove an informer. Ilc's got to be right because you cannot disprove him. And so the informer is back in style. You're going to sec six of them in a row at the Panther trial in New York, but you'II see them everywhere. You have Tommy the Traveler at Hobart, hired by the sheriff to create incidents if they don't exist. It's a bad situation but ·it's' not an overly oppressive one, because you ·can function within, you can organize around it. That's the only hope there is. He wants messages, that's the only re·a1 message I have, that people must organize together. What specific things would you do to change the judiciary system?Could it be changed without changing the entire society? K. Yes, I have a lot of reformist type of approaches in the judicial system. I don't know whether it's possible to do it or is isn't. But you can put it on very low level and say yes, there are some things that ought to be done. For example, every defendent, poor defendent, should not have a Legal Aid lawyer 0t a public defender lawyer, but should pay him what a good lawyer would demand. Secondly, he should have all of the investigative resources he needs. If he needs $IO ,000 to bring over a specialist on barbituates, as Niarchos just did to save his own neck in Greece, they ought to have the right to do that and the state ought to provide the funds. There ought to be an automatic disqualification of any judge for any reason. You don't like the way he grins, get rid of him-California has just adopted that. That's a very good thing because even bad judges ( and most" of them are bad in certain areas), even bad judges don't like to have an empty court if they are disqualified by defendent after def e n d ent, that happens. Governor Reagan recently asked the administrative Board of Justice of the State of California to investigate a judge in Santa Clara, who hasn't tried a criminal case in I� months. He's a judge who Governor Reagan would heartily approve of, he is a right-wing fascist, and everybody knows it so they disqualify him. Two years ago the law went into effect and for 1 � months he hasn't had a trial. So now eveyone is up in arms about him-why should he be at the public till and not work ?No criminal

lawyer will go into his court; everyone disqualifies him. That makes even judges like that try to be more reasonable. Fourthly,. the jury ststem is an abomination, it puts on the. jury only the middle aged and the idle, in general, the housewife, the retired businessman who, out of ennui, and lack of anything better .to do, work at this kind of a job. So you get people who are very much afraid of dying, afraid of the future, whose lives are on-half gone or three-quarters gone, to judge why a man of eighteen doesn't wan·t to go into the army> Or why Charles Manson is as he is. Or what a Black Panther should be doing. It's obviously imposssible, it's a jury of your non-peers. You don't have a chance even to get a jury containing one member who might somewhat understand. And then there's something called the peremptory challenge that the prosecution has--so many challenges of jurists-that should be eliminated. Because all they do with their peremptory challenge is to get ri9- of the few peop.le that get through. It's a kind of iron-clad noose. You might let someone who's young or black get into the box but the peremptory challenge takes them out. That's something common law never had for the prosecution. It's be�n grafted on by law. There are .hundreds of other things io try to even up the scales, just ·to get' them relatively e·ven. Now they're awful. The prosecution has the right to close to the jury on the theory that since he has the right to sustain the burden of proof to overcome the presumption of innocence, that he should have the last crack at the jury. That's crazy. Whoever has the last crack at most juries is usually the winner. In most cases, why should the prosecution have the right to be the last voice that the jury hears. But these are all tinkerings, you see. I think they could be· effective tinkerings; you might even the scales a little by doing some of these things. B:it fundamentally there's something else and that goes into a much 4eeper problem. It's the fact that the law is deliberately used to o maintain a status quo, it's deliberately used to crush just as it always has been. To work at that, requires more than tinkering at reform of certain . aspects of the judicial system.

Because it really isn't a judicial system that is the culprit. That's too easy, it is the society that uses it. Concerni.tg the conspiracy laws: I think people are r.oming to a growing awarenes� of exactly how dangerous they are. I mean. not just dangerous· to certain people, but to everyone, that they fhould be used against virtually anyone. Do you feel that there should be any conspiracy laws at all in a free society? K. None. They originated with the Court of Star Chamber. There were never conspiracy laws as we know them before Star Chamber. Star Chamber got this brilliant idea that you can get a man for thinking and you don't have to prove any acts. The accused never has to commit the crime, it doesn't require the proof you need for an attempted crime, you have to show they got right up to the borderline of causing it, of doing it, but with conspiracy, no all you have to do is know one overt act, which could be legal, and then, you can get anybody for conspiracy. All lie has to allege is that you and I met, we had access to each other somewhere, and that as a result of our meeting you went out and bought some kerosene, a perfectly legal act, to buy kerosene, and then they'll put informers on the stand who will say when you and I met they infiltrated us, maybe had infiltrated us, and he'll get on the stand and say, "I heard them talking and they said they wanted to make Molotov cocktails with kerosene and that Paul was to get the kerosene and Bill was to get the wicks (which by the way are usually tampaxes, that seems to be the most current use for those) and that the object was going to be a city hall, and they were going to show that the mayor was a racist and a pig, and they were going to burn down city hall. That's all you need. Then the jury is allowed to infer upward from these things or downward, which ever way you want to' work it, that there was this plan. They'll always believe the informers. The informer will be a member of the police department or someone who worked for the police department the prosecutor in his closing summatic1n will say, "we hate to get evidence t! ;s way,

but it took alot of nerve for Officer McNulty to grow a heard, pop pills, live with this group for a year, but that's the way you have to do it with these groups." You know a jury will convict, this county or any county, that's why it's so easy. One judge called it the darling of the prosecutor's nursery. I heard an interview with a civil liberties lawyer, Mike Tigar, who pointed out that in the state of California a least, th'e laws for con.ipiring or talking or thinking about something in some cases are more severe than actually going out and doint it.

they want to believe that it can all be d o n e p e a c e f u l l y . That means compromise. I think that there are some i ns tances where com promise i s psycholo gically and e m ot i ona lly improper. Was Dan Berrigan right in burning the Draft Board records, pouring blood and then burning the records? Similarly, were the colonists right in burning the tea in the harbor?J'here come moments when the ordinary mechanisms won't do and during those moments people resort to very ingenious methods of bringing things to a focus. Was ·the Civil War right or would it have been better to keep compromising?They had three compromises in a row and we conceivably could have gone on to new compromisi n g . These arc difficult quest ions because they raise very fundamental aspects of human life. We can't discuss them glibly. I'm for discussing them fully. The role of violence in a democratic society whose values are failing or deteriorating is a wide' subject.

K; Conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor is a felony. There was a trial of the Oakland 7, last year where the crime was conspiracy to committ a misdemeanor. The idea was that they were going to do something to interfere with the flow of goods to the war machine at the Oakland seaport. They were arrested and charged with a felony. I'm sure that was what Mike had in mind. It's crazy...they could have interfered and it would have only What is left for those who cannot been a misdemeanor, but conspiring to do compromise but cannot accept violence? it, because you see thought is the greatest crime, always has been, if you could only The gaspipe is one solution. If they understand that little fact of life, that cannot do that then they must learn to what you think is much more dangerous, adjust themselves to a way of life they says the society, than what you do. cannot tolerate or they must become There was a senate investigation of the revolutionaries in a non-violent sense, if New Bedford riots. In the testimony that is possible. before the Eastland Committee, one of I think the role f.or the person wJw the police officers took the stand and he rejects violence under any circumstances, said that he knew that my clients, ·;,he who takes either .a religious or Dworkins, were guilty because they read philosophical point of view that you will "think" books. The chief counsel of the always turn the other cheek, (which is Senate Internal Securities Subcommittee not quite what Christ said-it's a portion said, "By God, I've read one of those. of what he said) has a hard row to hoe. Isn't that a classic? And then caught The revolutionary who does not shrink himself up and said, "BPt of course it's from violence has it far easier, but the being read by the wrong people." other is far more difficult. Tht;re's no excuse for any rational If you're religious you don't have to society having l a w s concerning either take the gaspipe or learn to adjust, "conspiracy", but it's the easiest thing to you can accept horrible things and live prove. When you get to the question of with them quite easily because you'll say whether the ghetto should be controlled "God will wipe it away somed�y .Sodom by those that live within it or whether a and Gomora will go ·and then we11 be on war should continue to go on, you can't a paradise on Earth and that will come. compromise a war-it either goes on or it Good will triumph." I don't believe in stops. I think that's where you get into that, therefore I am not one who rejects the question of viofence.

Chairman of the Kirkland Arts Division, Elias F r i ede n s o h n , i s highly opt1m1stlc: "The theater will seat 1200. There is no other facility like this in the area. Ours will be suitable for symphony, dance and theater, and will have the potential for deciding what o u r college c o m m unity's responsibility to the surrounding community, which is a vast area, will be. "This i s n o t just an auditorium for a series of 'entertainments.' We want the theater to serve a definite educational-cultural role in the community." The area not presently served by a comparable facility includes Herkimer County, southern Oneida County, and reaches as far northwest as Syracuse. The most important role the Kirkland Theater may play is its one as the central cultural faci l i t y for the completed Hamilton "cluster college" community, which will include "College X", when the problem of seating over a thousand people at a time will become· a reality.

BlackPanther Defense Lawyer Lefcourt Talks

MADISON (CPS} - Recently, the University of Wisconsin Daily Cardinal interviewed Black Panther defense lawyer Gerald Le/court in his New York law offices. Le/court is one of five lawyers presently defending 21 Black Panthers in a trial stemming from a 30-count iYfdictment of the Panthers, ranging from conspiracy to bomb to attempted murder. Le/court began his legal career as a Legal Aid Society lawyer, where he first became acquainted with the Panthers. Originally he was a member of a three-man defense team which included William Kunst/er and Len Weinglass in the trial of the Chicago 8, but left the team in April 1969 when the "New York 21 " were indicted and arrested. He has worked on the case ever since. The· follo w i n g i s t h e t.ranscripi of that interview. Whei1. did you first get imH>lved with ii.q Panthers? Lefcourt: My first involvement with the Panthers was back in August, 1968. I remember it was in August that I received a phone call that some Panthers had been arrested. At that time they were unknown in New York. We had some news of the California organization but in '68 the Panthers were new here. I went clown to the court and I was told by a family in the cour thouse t h at the three had been arrested for asnulting police officers. That f i rs t case in New York involved an allegation from police which claimed that t h ree Panthers attacked 5 armed-to-the-teeth cops on a Brooklyn street at 2 o'clock in the morning. What is even more absurd, when I got to see them they were bandaged, heads cracked, arms in slings and things like that and the police officers who they had allegedly assaulted were standing in the courtroom with grins on their faces, untouched. And when the case came before the judge for arraignment and bail setting, the first bail set on any case in New York City involving the Black Panther Party was $50,000 each. That s t a r t e d a w hole series of outrageous ransom bails, harassment arrests, framed charges and a situation which led directly to the arrest of the Panther 21 on April 2, 1969 about 8 or 9 months after the party was formed. yOU defended the original three Black Panthers that got arrested for assault. Did they get off? L e f c o u r t : Y e s . I t w a s a tot a l fabrication. The idea of unarmed Panthers attacking armed police in the dead of the night in Brooklyn. It was just too absurd to be believed. But the others didn't get off. We've had literally hundreds of Panther arrests in New York. And there's a reason of that, I think. New York has historically been the front lines for the black liberation s t r u g g l e in t he U nited States. What h a p p e n s i n New York generates throughout the nation. The Harlem riots �f 1964 spread at a fantastic rate. Every black organization that has ever come on the set has been stopped in New York. New York, in a ten mile square radius having millions and millions of black people and also in the middle of the eastern establishment, is the danger point for the powers that be. And therefore, every attempt is made to stifle, harass, 'repress black groups as they form here in New York. Malcolm X was indeed shot to death here in New York. It can even be traced as far back as Marcus Garvey. When he was stopped in New York. The

Panther P a r t y i s n o d i fferent. An indication of that is the New York secret s er v i c e police , w h i c h are the most �ophisticated in the United States and more feared or should be more feared than the FBI. There are indications that this secret service known as police BOSS (Bureau of Special Services), the hero of secret services, has infiltrated the Black Panther Party before they ever arrived here in New York and in fact helped start the party here. That is because they want to control them. They want to make sure that they can make those harassment arrests that are so necessary for the stiflipg of political activity. When you talk about the bail, the onginal Panther bail in 1968 was set at $50,000 escalating to $100,000 for the Panther 21. We could assume for the record that these types of arrests will continue. What can you do about the bail? Lefcourt: Well, I don't think that lawyers can do anything about it. We have taken the bail situation to the supreme court. The supreme court has avoided it. Specifically, in the Panther 21 case we w�nt through 43 judges trying to g�t that - bail reduced, all unsuccessfully. You can only conclude that there is a general conspiracy in the courts to make sure that Black Panther leaders are not free. In the case of the 21 there has been a lot of confusionn in the press_ What exactly have they been charged with'! iefcourt: It is a 30 count indictment. It is the most comprehensive indictment ever returned against a political organization in this country. It does not ch�e one act s u c h ai, H u e y, New t o n s ho o t i n g a policeman or Bobby Seale ordering a murder in Connecticut. It charges 30 acts, some of which sounded like conspiracy which means conspiracy to bomb public buildings such as Macy's, Gimbels, and various police precincts throught the city, s u b w a y s a n d r a ilways. Including the ridiculous charges of conspiracy to blow up the Bronx Botanical Gardens. Maybe the Panthers wanted to see Black flower power. I don't know. The indictment also charges, besides the conspiracy to do all these things, the actual bombings of police -p r e c i n c t s b a c k i n January of 1969. T he r ef o r e , t h e c h a r g e s a r e a r s o n , attempted murder, conspirac;y t o murdt:r, conspiracy to bomb, and possession of a huge amount of weapons. Quite bluntly, do you think they 're guilty? Lefcourt: Well, no. But I should say that I don't think black people struggling for their freedom in this country can be guilty of anything. 1 sort of subscribe _to what Tom Hayden was saying back in the May Day demonstrations in New Haven: that guilt or innocence is not really i m p o r t a n t a n y m o re; what is more important is the goals the party stands for, the party programs and the relationship of the party to white people; a movement to change their views on imperialism and capitalism - it seems to me to be more important. The Panthers in New York get involved in what they call revolutionary s el f - d e f e n s e . W h e n y o u ' r e f e a r i n g i m m i n e n t d e s t ruction b y the police, attacks through frame-up prosecµtions and p h y s i c a l a s s a u l t s from officers, you prepare and if you don't prepare then you're committing suicide. It is easy to turn that preparation into an indictment

against almost anything. I assume that every Panther in this country is guilty of conspiracy in one sense and that sense is that they are conspiring to be free. What is your definition of subversive? Lefcourt: Befor I answer that I think I should point out that the Panthers !lave been J. Edgar Hoover's number one public enemy for three years running. I think that is an important fact, because we have a government which is putting forth a mass propaganda campaign regarding the Black Panther party. Whether it be the Attorney General's lsit or J. Edgar Hoover's saying that they are public enemy No. I or Spiro Agnew•�_ saying that they are a criminal band of anarchists. What it really amounts to is government fear. Fear of possible effectiveness in the black nation and in this country. that's what it's all about. They stand for no more oppression, no more racism, no more war, no more i m p e r i a l i s m , n o m o r e capitalist exploitation, and in that sense they are completely subversive. I can't talk in terms of definitions in the sense that the attorney general does. His definition of subversive is anyone who wants to change the existing condition of the United States, which I guess should be termed pre-revolutionary conditions. I assume he is right. Have you had any trouble •in the subpeoning of newsmen to reveal their sources'! Lefcourt: I've been in contact with lots of newsmen who have either been the subject of subpoenas or threatened with them. I don't think we can talk in terms of what the government violates. It's really nonsense. They're going to do what they have to do to meet the challenge of this movement. People too naively talk about the government not complying with the l a w . I t's r e al l y s i l l y . Because the government makes the law. The attorney general makes the guidelines and he can change them or do what he wants with them. I mean, there is an executive policy in this country; executive stemming from t h e 'P r e s i d e n t o f the United States. Repression and stopping this movement. This policy, instead of being checked by t h e l e g i s l a t i v e branch, the Congress, i n s tead of t hat check operating, the Congress has joined in that policy of repression and appropriated the necessary funds to supply the FBI and other secret police organizations with the weaponry needed to stop movements for change. The courts, instead of operating as a check on the executive and legislative branches join right in. Instead of declaring obvious unconstitutional statues unconstitutional such as the Chicago 7 riot act, they join right in and allow it to go on.When we talk about law we're talking about law in a situation which involves these conflicts. A challenge is being proposed to an existing order. An order which will turn fascist to protect its rulers. It's really not helpful to discuss whether or not they've violated their specific statues or guidelines. D o y o u t h i n k the gov<:rnment is interested in justice or in simply creating and perpetuating an image about the Panthers? Lefcourt: It is interested in maintaining its power. It is interested in maintaining domestic tranquility whether it be through force or jailing its revolutionaries or w!1at h a v e you. That is the gowrnment's interest. It is not at all interested in any form of justice here at home, in Viet Nam,

or Asia, or South America.We are involved in a world revolution. Peoples' liberation movements are starting in all continents of this .earth. Blacks in Africa, Browns in South America,- and Yellows in Asia - the United States is in the midst of that revolution. Its purpose is to hold it off to prevent the writing on the wall from be�oming a reality. The black and white revolutionaries in this country havejoined this revolution. I think that is what really should be d i s c u s s ed.. Not the naive questions about justice, about what the government wants to do. They'll do anything that's necessary to maintain control. In your opinion, how much control do they have What is the breaking point as far as what you can see? Lefcourt: I ·see in the next two or five· years in this country increasing conflict.. We all talk about repression, but I think we ought to redefine that a little bit. The government is acting not to oppress in a sense of let's get them we don't like them. They're acting out of fear. Fear of a growing mass movement in this country and fear of an ever more powerful physical attack upon t h e g overnment power structure. Repression is in response to a that has been generated by the great problems of this society. The problems that they have no desire to deal with. War, racism, poverty-those are the things that have brought about mass moveme_nts and those a1·e the things thr government's really reacting to when we call it repression. What it really is is fear of change. I think in the next two to five years t h i s pr ocess. of move�ent, repression, courts jailings, bombings, murdei:s, will continue. It's going to escalate. It's going to grow. We're in pre-revolutionary times. We're at the beginning stages of a real mass conflict in this country. People should be deciding on whose side they're on. People should be realizing that sometime they are going to have to make this decision. White liberals will run as they always do. They'll join the ruling class and try to maintain the status quo. The radicals on the other hand will be fighting. They'll be fighting on the side of oppressed people in this (:ountry and throughout the world. And we cannot escape decision time. We can put if off for a while but sooner or later we're going to have to face up to it. You are defending a group that is clearly against the system. Yet your defense takes place within the system they 're against. What are your feelings about this? Lefcourt: You know people often say that, and they should understand what that means. Fidel Castro's trial when he and several other people made an attack on the government military installations in Cuba was of course a trial within the system. We don't have a choice at this point in time. We cannot try the Panther 21 in any other place except in their courts. We do not have our own courts. We must use their courts to the best of our abilities to defend and to plead those issues that have created the trial. It's nonsense to say that one is working within the system or without the system. What people are doing is working for change or not working for change. They've made a decision. What methods we use doesn't seem to be really important to me. If we want to write hooks and make movies to rip off money

About Expectations Of New York City Trial from the capitalist system to be used to aid and advance our cause, that's one way to do it and there's nothing wrong with that. If we have to go into the American courts where we don't .expect justice and say that that's an�ther way to do it. If we can operate without the courts and without the system, that's fine. Anything, any activity that is designed to educate and create support for our movement must be done. The idea of whether··we whould use the courts or not is really nonsense. What do you do when 21 people are in jail who are valuable leaders who have $100,000 bails on their heads, who have been in jail for a year and a half and have to come to trial. Do you abandon them :I don't think anybody would answer that question in the affirmative. We have to fight anywhere and everywhere. Within or without foe system. It doesn't matter. Two jurors of the Chicago 8 trial in a recen t i n terview said the (Judge) Hoffman refused to declare a hung jury and sent them back. As far as the results of that t r i ai and t he c u r i o us circumstances surrounding it, what do you think?Will that decision be reversed? Lefcourt: Sure it will be reversed. It was the most successful trial we've had in out recent history.Thirty percent of the population believe that the government was out to get them and they got a raw ·deal.It's an impressive occurrence. People cannot just have a closed-eye view of the courts and say the hell with them. We did a'lot in tliat trial. We got a tot of support in that trial. We proved a lot of points ih that trial. And we're going to win it ·to boot. That to me is a successful trial. All those people that were on trial are out with the exception of Bobby Seale who is in jail on another charge. We're going to win an appeal. That's victory and we should be proud of it. We all were, from Madison to Santa Barbara. We all did what we had to do. And that was a success. It was more successful than going to the Democratic convention originally. With the 21, as in the Chicago trial, have you tried to change judges? Lefcourt: We've tried almost every conceivable thing to have the judge removed. As we've said in court, he's sitting at the prosecution table. When he talks, he talks for himself and the prosecution.He's biased. How was he selected to be the judge? Lefcourt: A very unusual procedure. He was hand-picked by the district attorney that is prosecuting the 21. The district attorney admitted this. It was done ex-parte which means without the defendants or their lawyers knowing it. The whole procedure was done in my view to select the judge which would be the most sympathetic to his case. That procedure was unconstitutional. That's why we want to get rid of him. Becaus� the district attorney has said that it is the most important trial in his office in New York City. Under those circumstances he has the power to select the judge. He said that he thought a long time about who the judge would be. You te talking about D.A. Frank Hogan, right? Lefcourt: Yes, Frank Hogan, the district attorney in New York County. You've �/ready started out with a stacked deck against you. So you're going to start again with the same judge?

Lefcourt: We don't have a choice. We've tried everything we can to disqualify the judge. We sued him independently. The S:1preme Court of the United States had ,� petition filed just a few days ago asking them to stop. the trial and disqualify the judge. Whether they do it or not, I don't know. But in the meantime we're on trial and we have to go forward. What cooperation did you get, if any, in preparing your defense from the prosecutor? Lefcourt: None. The defendants have been deprived of every right to find out what the trial is about. They have made countless motions, numbering well over twenty. All have been denied. It's been four months of pretrial hearings. There's been wire-tapping which was based on information from an informer who's a lunatic, who has spent the last four months in mental institutions. That information was used to get wire-tap orders to listen to the phones and bug apartments of the Panthers. All illegal and all inviolation of the United States Constitution. There have been searches of Panthers' apartments without search warrants. Those searches are illegal and in violation of the 4th Amendment. There have been confessions beaten out of the defendants. When I say confessions I don't mean confessions to acts, I mean admissions that they were somewhere where they were charged to be or things like that. All these are in violation of the Constitution of the United States. The defendants have tried everything. They have made every conceivable motion. They· have an absolute record on appeals for reversal. If they're convicted, the case should be reversed.It's a pattern now. It's a pattern in all these political trials. It's a pattern to get them to the lower courts.­ Get them at the trial level. Whether the case is reversed or not, they don't even c�re about it. Is that it?/ mean is it just that they don't care? Lefcourt: No, they don't care. What they really care about is a long trial and the publicity stemming from it resulting in a conviction.When the trial is reversed, it's one day's news and they know that. The trial itself could be mpnths of news. So with Spock, the Buffalo 9, the Chicago case, Huey Newton's case - all of them. The same kind of results. Conviction, reversal. You spoke about informers. What role did the informer play in this case? Lefcourt: He's not going to play a role in this case anymore. He was just used in the wire taps. He gave them information

which is totally false. The information was false and the police know that and they have admitted that on the stand. They knew it fr0m the beginning. He siad for instance, that the Black Panthers were heing hired to murder Albert Shankar, who is the head of the teachers union who has had so much trouble with. the black community here in New York. But the police used this to get a wire-tap order which- would help in the indictments. He is not going to be used again. He was totally destroyed in court. But Lhere .will be a big bag full of agents, not informers. Informers are a different kind of person than agents. Informers usually operate on such motives as money: Agents of police departments or the CIA or Internal Revenue System are much more dedicated. They have worked undercover for years to gain credibility. They are used at a trial to wipe out certain people. We are going to have the biggest disclosure of agents in any case heretofore tried in New York. We expect more than half a dozen. How many of the original Black Panther 21 have been let out of jail'!On bail. Lefcourt: Out of the original 21, three were n�ver caught. I understand they are in Algeria. Thirteen are going to be coming to trial in the 21 case now. Another 3 have been severed from the case because of age (too young to be tried with adults). Another one was severed because of _illness, the defendant Barry, who is an epileptic and was placed in the tombs, New York's famous hell-hole on $100,000 bail and had 14 epileptic seizures. When we brought habeous corpus procedures to get him out of jail we were delayed four months by the district attorney and when he was finally �ansferred to a hospital (still being under $100,000 bail) he was so sick that he was in a critical condition for three months. He lost 65 pounds a'.n? almost died. There will be two different trials eventually. One will be adults who are not being tried because they have been severed because of illness or other reasons, and the other trial will be for the youths. All 13 at once? Lefcourt: Yes, all at once. That's a pretty tough sight in a courtroom because it's pretty wierd. It's very crowded in the courtroom. There's not much room to move around especially with fif-ty armed guards in the courtroom. The court building itself is an armed camp with hundreds of police stationed in houses ·behind the building for ·possible use;

closed circuit TV filming of the building and police officers scattered in strategic 1 oc a tions. Adjoining the courtroom there's a small detachment of special tactical patrol force police that remain th�re in case anything happens within the courtroom. llow many have been let out on bail? Lefcourt: Out of the 13 that are coming to trial, four have posted the .hundred thousand dollar bail. That money was raised through the efforts of the Panther defense committee, which is by the way located at 11 West 16th Street in New York City. They have been raising the money for the bail and the Panther defense cases generally. It's called the Committee to Defend the Panthers. The four that were let out on bail represent the quality of the 21 as a whole. The others arc still in jail. Unless the money is raised they 'II stay there. As a lawyer and a government person, what is nexti, Lefcourt: What we have to understand with violence is I don't think violen�e is blowing up a mathematics building. That'.s really · not violence. Violence would be defined by us as a system which allows children to wake up hungry in three-quarters of the earth, - a system which allows 30 or 40 million black people in this country to remain in a slave status after 400 years of turmoil. A system that exploits workers, a system which operates solely on profits and thereby eliminates ai:t, education, fun, from their definition of what work is. If there is no profit in anything it won't be done. That system is a violent system and that is really the definition of violence: A system that doesn't allow for change, that oppresses and represses its people; a system which defines individual freedom by how much money you have. A system which defines justice by how much money you have. That is violence. Any attempt to change that system should not be considered violent. I think people should understand that there is going to be turmoil in this country, that there is going to be activity in which people can get hurt but over all they should keep in mind that the reasons for the movement, the needs of the movement, and the need for change are primary. We must neutralize as much as we _can, our parents and the liberals, and w� must join as many forces as we can with us to try to combat the existing conditions. What do you think is going to happen at the trial? Lefcourt: I think it's going to be a long, fascinating, exciting trial. It will involve different kinds of events, different kinds of people on trial, every sophisticated government attacks, one in which everybody will learn from. I'm not a cynci. Whether or not we won, the case in the Supreme Court was a victory. Should we have won the Panthers would have been free. The fact that we lost, everybody in this country thinks about it and most young people understand exactly what forces were acting when the decision was reached not to consider the bail. So whether through the freedom of your clients or_ the education of others, they're both victories. I think the trial will be one of the most important in the nation's history and I hope it will be as successful in terms of education and support as the Chicago. trial.

The student bod y for the most part, however, was apathetic, and the response was so small Schneider said, that "the results were insignificant." Schneider stressed that "we want to inject students into the decision-making process to get a broader and insightful view of the faculty. This, however, can only be done if the students respond." Before the committee was set up, Kirkland had no permanent organization to deal with tenure and reappointment. Divisional chairmen would simply make recommendati ons to Dean Schneider, who in turn, would bring these to President Babbitt: The committee members are: At-large, Miss Selma Burkom and Peter Marcy, Mr. Nathan Boxer of the Arts Division, Mr. William Hoffa of the humanities Division, Mr. Kenneth Howard of the Science Division, and Mr. Douglas Raybeek of the Social Science Division.

Black Union Given Funds For Cultu.ral Programs BY DAVE NATHANS Black U nion President Humphrey Polanen '71 said the Black U n i on has received app ropriations from various campus o r g a ni z ati ons "to f i n ance programs and presentations designed to enrich the entire college community." Polanen said, "Last year members of the Hamilton and Kirkland faculties were solicited by the late Professor Charles C. Adler, Jr., for funds to be used t o h e l p e s t a b l i s h t he Afro-American Cultural Center. I n a d d i t i on to the $273 collected, an anonymous gift of $300 was received." Most of this money was used in supplying the Center's library and in sponsoring a speaker from Harvard College, jointly with CORE and Utica College's Black Students' organization, during the strike last year. T h e H a m ilton College Student Senate is considering allocating funds to the Black Union; such proposals have been

rejected by the Senate in the past two years. The Lee ture Committee, headed by Speech Professor Charles L. Todd, has allocated an undetermined amount to the Black Union for the financing of speakers on various areas of tne black experience. According to both Mr. Todd and Polanen, t h ese s peakers will help compensate for the lack of Afro-American content in the curricula at both Colleges.

DURHAM, N.H. (CPS) -- "Of course, if you blew it, all that would happen is that humans would disappear."

e n z y m e w h i c h t h e virus prevented. s·ince the virus would permanently attach itself to the cell, it , wo uld b.e passed on genetically to babies that were born. In other words, no woman could ever have a baby without taking the antidot e. which Schreiber thinks should be made to last for two to three months. The virus would spread "like Asian flu," says Schreiber. It would spread across the globe through air currents and by personal contact. · T h e a n tidote would b e a d m i n i s t ered by the United Nations or some international organization, which would make it freely available to all women. If the government of some country refused to allow distribution to all women who wanted it, the UN would · merely pull all out until the government came around. Faced with the extinction of the c o u n t r y 's .p e o p le in o n e generation, Schreiber figures the government would come around. Unlike the pill, which has c a u s e d various unexpected problems such as blood clots, the vir u s would only attack the specific process that it was designed to prevent, the scientist says. If the virus changed forms, as viruses sometimes do, he ::ays it would become useless and the woman would be fertile again. Nothing else would happen. _· It is certainly possible to make a virus that would only affect primat e s, Schreiber says, and virologists assure him that they could probably develop one that would only affect humans; This is necessary since animals would ,not come in for their antidote 'shots. S c h r e i b e r con cedes his solution is extreme, but sees it as the only a l tern a t i vc so far offered. He speaks of a global population problem which birth control techniques, because they are unsure and voluntary, cannot solve. "The solution has to be involuntary," he says. Now the world population is greater than 3½ billion, he says, and will double in �5 years at current rates. But he doesn't think that will happen, simply because the world food supply is already too small for the current p o p ulation.

Alfred Stages Strong Show, j I From the Bench The original purpose of this column is to make others on the Hill aware of the sacrifice the atr letes and coaches of Hamilton make, and the contributions they give, as a group, to the college community.We feel they often go unrecognized. Too often spectators are entertained by an athletic contest, and they fail to realize the long hours of practice and drills that went into the effort. The football team, for instance, must curtail their vacation by two weeks i::i order to practice and be able to represent Hamilton well on the gridiron. The same goes for swimming and basketball, as their season lasts about five months. The hockey team this year is returning Christmas night in order to prepare for a holiday. tournament.; The athletes and coaches realize the great sacrifices they make, and it would be easy to back out. Yet, they do it willingly becuase they believe in Hamilton and its athletic program. The members of all of our teams and the coaches, who put in long hours to make the teams of Hamilton what t.hey are, do not ask for much. All they ask is for the support of the students, faculty, and· administration in order to validate the belief they firmly hold in athletks at Hamilton.

Defeats Continentals; 50-0

BY MARK RICE The Alfr e d game last S at urd ay is one that the Hamilton Continentals can erase from their memories forc:ver. Totally unwilling to devote twenty-four hours of their time to travel and to compete against Alfred University, the team just did not want to be on the field that Saturday afternoon, and the r e s u l t s showed i t . The Continentals certainly did not display the stubborn defense and explosive offense that has harrassed so many of the more powerful teams throughout this fall. Courageous efforts and outstanding plays were few and far between. T h r o ug hout the years Hamilton teams have gained the respect of the fans wherever they have competed, regardless of the outcome. Unfortunately, the Continentals were unable to gain the respect of the Alfred fans. Wine bottles, beer cans, and exploding cherry bombs h u r l e d d own on the Continental's bench were almost reminiscent of some of our hockey games. An· athletic team is supposed to ignore the fans, but Alfred's obnoxious behavior made this all but impossible. This small grievance is not written to belittle the Alfred team. They were good, damn good, and if they were not the number one small college team they were supposed to be, the Continentals sure made them worthy of that rank. This was the first time the Blues have been completely outclassed this seast.1n. The Continentals have faced big teams, but Alfred was strong and fast, as well as big;

just too much for the smaller Continental linemen to handle. The Saxons were led by an outstanding quarterback, who was content to throw long all afternoon to one of his speedy receiv e r s , who found the Continental secondary almost non-existent. The score (50-0), however, was not a true or clear indication of the game. Thee Blues did have several moments of their own. They drove three times within the Saxons' ten yard line only to be denied a well earned score, and once on the home team's goal line after a questionable call b y t h e referee. If t h e Continentals had been playing football, 40-20 might have beenen a better indication of the game. By the time the clock had run

out the Blues were more than contented to leave the field and drive away from such an inhospitable place. U nfortunately, the Alfred game was a costly one for the Hillmen. Defensive lineman Joe Reagan was lost for the rest of the season with a broken h an d, and coupled with the loss of Larry Williams against Wesleyan, the defense will have to come up with some stellar individual performances against a tough ball control team. T his weekend the Con tinentals wind-up their season with a home game against traditional rival Union College. The incentives this weekend are many, and the team h as already put back together much of the lost spirit and self-respect after last week's humiliation.

Paris Chamber Orchestra To Offer Baro_que Program BY BILL DELANEY The Paul Kuentz Chamber Orchestra of Paris will return to Hamilton following Thanksgiving to join the combined Hamilton and Chatham College choirs in two performances. Hailed internationally, and by the Journal Musical Francais, of Paris, as, "Our best chamber orche!itra," th� group appeared at Hamilton last spring a nd performed two exciting and very well-received programs of fine music. The Orchestra is a vibrant ensemble composed of seven men and seven women, all Parisians. It was -organized by Mr. Keuntz in 1950 from among several winners of top European instrumental compct1t1ons, and fellow prize winners at the I 'Ecole Supericure de Musique of Paris, where Keuntz studied, and won highest honors. This year the Orchestra will be joined by organist Olivier Alain w ho will p erform on the Schwenkedel Positive Organ, an authentic Baroque instrument. Mr. Alain has received honors and degrees both as a student at the Paris Conservatory, and as Director of the Conservatory of S a i n t -Ge r m a i n - en-Lage for fourteen years , and has been the regular music · critic for Paris' leading newspaper, since 1958.

Kirkland is trying to add appeal to its Winter Study program. One hundred eleven students were rejected for the bilateral exchange program, initiated as a major feature of Kirkland's Winter S t u d y Progr a m , a n d t h e adm inist r a tion is trying to accomodate them. Assistant Dean Carol McNutt gave several reasons for the lack of interest in Kirkland's program on the part of students from other schools. Kirkland's participation in the exchange was only. begun this year and the length of time needed to form the Winter Study Committee and put its ideas into concrete terms meant that the Kirkland WS catalogue was printed too late for the other schools. According to McNutt, students from schools with long-established Winter Study programs were wary of coming to Kirkland because they knew little of the Kirkland program. McNutt also said that s tudents from other schools wanted co-ed dorms, which Kirkland does not have. Students who signed up for the exchange and could not go were advised to reconsider Hamilton and Kirkland course offerings, or to set up an independent study project. These students' names, meanwhile, will be kept on a waiting list in the event that a new possibility should arise. McNutt said that such a possibility could be a course offering at a school t h at has not yet contacted Kirkland, but which has openings in areas requested by students

here. The exchange program wa<; set. up to allow Kirkland students to spend the winter study period at other schools offering a course unavailable at Hamilton or Kirkland. The exchange was a reciprocal agreement, contingent upon students from other schools requesting January study at Kirkland. Only two students, however, expressed interest in coming, so only two Kirkland students are able to leave. The Winter Study Committee will contact girls as such offerings come in that correspond to their needs. Priority will be given: to girls who originally requested hard-to-find courses.

Dean Doris Freidensohn, after visiting the dorm three days ago, was appalled and called the condition a case of '"self-hate." The girls objected to this, claiming t h a t o n l y t h e c r owded environment has led to the chaos. The apartments on Griffin Road, previously designated for faculty members, have remained unoccupied all ,jemester. The girls will move into two of the apartments. Though the girls believe that their situation has not been more chaotic than that of other students they feel that the college should have initiated action to alleviate the rooming difficulty long before now. Though reacting favorably to the announcement, the girls expressed, fear that they would be forced to move again if t h e apartments were to be occupied by Skidmore or Wells gi rls attending the Hamilton Winter Study Program. "Though the girls have enjoyed the luxury of -..having an extra bunk bed apiece ( to make up for the lack of everything else), they are happy to leave Bristol behind­ as they are sure Bristol is happy to see 'Toyland' moved to another location."

Bundy Parking Incomplete TKEand DPhi Areas in Use

BY RICHARD A. KAVESH Only half of the parking lot for r e s i d e n t s o f the Bundy Quadrangle will be completed before the imminent snow season, Assistantto the President Gilbert J. Grout said Monday. In view of this fact, Grout said that he would ask th�t the parking areas of the former TKE and Delta Phi houses remain open and available for parking during the winter. "I would encourage Bundy construction workers and students to use these lots to make parking easier for everybody downhill," he said.

The Bundy parking lot will eventually hold fifty cars. Grout said that right now it can hold about twenty-five. '.'The Bundy lot and the two fraternity lots will be plowed out, so there is nothing to worry about when the snow comes." Grout said that the parking lot would be completed by the spring, but he does not foresee excessive difficulties for Bundy car owners in the interim. "O f course I can't be scientific," he said, "but it looks to me like this winter will be very cold, but not so snowy," he prognosticated.

NEW YORK (CPS) - Despite the threat of the loss of its c u r r en tly t ax-exempt status, Columbia University's syudent newspaper, the Spectator, has refused to sign a statement for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agreeing to refrain from endorsing any political candidate. Although seldom applied to undergraduate newspapers, the tax laws state that when an organization "a t t e m pt s to i n f l u e n c e l e g i s l at i on b y propaganda o r otherwise " or "pa rticipates or i ntervenes, directly or indirectly, in any political campaign," it does not qualify for tax exemption.

, E:di1toria1s Winter Stu�y

Winter Study 1971 is virtually developed. With the exception of final decisions and notification to students of which course they will take, all other preparations have been completed. It is now possible to reflect on the general characteristics of the Hamilton,Winter Study Period. Fo rtunately, the administrative proceedures for registering for January's activities has been excellent. Dean Tolles and the Winter Study Committee is to • be commended for their diligence and competence in making registration as fair and as expedient as the system allows. However, too many Winter Study course offerings do not properly reflect the spirit and ideals of Winter Study. Too many of the course offerings do not provide an · experience significantly different from semester courses. It is true that all course offerings provide an in-depth study of a limited field, but many of the offerings seem to be an expansion of a professor's semester course. Too many courses are so specialized that enrollment is almost limited to department majors who can meet the prerequisites . An effort should be made to offer as many courses without prerequisites as possible, to allow the non-major who has an interest in a discipline to be exposed to it outside the semester structure. A,t the very least, each department should offer one project free of prerequisites. · The Spectator realize's that our expenence with Winter Study is, limited in that we are entering only our second WSP period. However, we do want to make an appeal to the faculty that shortcomings of Winter Study reflected in course offerings be corrected soon. ''

Rushing

It is November 20 and all we can point to that resembles rushing regulations is a highly developed set of rumors. Although predictions of the percentage of freshmen that will eventually join fraternities, or eve{i the numbers that will indicate a desire to participate formally in rushing, are generally inconclusive and inaccurate, it is clear that an unignorable percentage of freshmen, although probably smaller than in recent years, will join fraternities. It is also clear that the awesome rushing machines that seniors can claim knowledge of have been inactive in the last two years.. However, those freshmen that still have expressed an interest in joining fraternities suffer from the lack of information about joining a fraternity. We are presently precariously balanced between the vague feeling, or promise, that the regulations will be changed this year and the regulations with which upperclassmen are familiar. The Interfratemity Council requested permission from The Senate to design and administer a new procedure for rushing. To date, and an embarrassingly la(e date at that, the IFC has acted irresponsibly and betrayed the trust of The Senate, if through nothing other than its inability to draft and approve a procedure that all the fraternities can find tenable. More importantly, the working document still awaits the assemblage of an IFC. quorum for approval. Some of the freshmen that have seen this document have expressed the feeling that it does not accurately represent or consider the needs of the freshmen. Admittedly The Senate has not done an outstanding job administering rushing in the past, but at least it has done a job. The Spectator urges The Senate to relieve the IFC of its responsibility for administering rushing. At least the structure of The Senate more readily allows for an objective and detached perspective which will stimulate a quicker formulation of.regulations and procedures. Neither the freshmen nor the fraternities can afford to continue in the present vacuum while the IFC deliberates.

iceedback Review To the Editor: Bill Quigley's review of Dark of the Moon reveals something about him which must be kept in mind when considering his criticisms. Q ui gley cannot seem to separate legitimate criticism of art from his personal aversions to other people. By ge!leral agreement of audience members, Rob Astyk gave a stand-out performance, but Quigley has all owed personal differences with Astyk cloud his objectivity. Much of what ·Quigley writes is intelligent, well-considered criticism, but a potentially cruel, entirely uncalled for comment about an actor's "charming baby face" strips him of his mask of impartiality. We all know that in a small college community, personalities t ak e on a great deal of importance. The reviewer and th'.e reviewee are usually more or less familiar with one another. However, if the reviewer ca_nnot set his prejudices aside, or, is not clever enough to disguise them, the validity of his review is destroyed. Fred Goehner Editor's Note: Fred Goehner was a member of the cast of Dark of the Moon

Pep Talk To the E d itor: Dear Mr. Chandler, I would like to thank you for your most exciting pep talk in Chapel this morning. It is always good to attend a fine reading of a few magnificent old cliches. I feel, so much better now, knowing that I can always expect to be greeted with open minds and hearts in any steps toward reform, even if they are all rejected. Your reading was especially well timed, as I have just come through the depressing task of finding three bearable Winter Study choices. It was good to be reminded of the jolly good show our football team put on this year, even if for the fifteenth time in half as many weeks. It is a shame most students don't take their courses as seriously as the administration seems to view football, but then you yourself admitted that grades were more important than the individual student's personal achievements. It's not what you learn that counts, but how you compare to others. (Imagine how horrible it would be if Hamilton were a competitive institution, and not the place of serious scholarship it is.)· Once again, thank you. It is comforting to think that Fascism will lead to a humanitarian cultural Renaissance. Respectfully, A Member of the Class of '72

Placement To the editor: One of the things which appalled me at the end of my 4 years at Hamilton was the lack of knowledge which I had of immediate and career possibilities. I would suspect that a very large percentage of students graduate not knowing or having any definite direction as to what they want to do. This is certainly very understandable. The tragedy, however, is in not being really aware of what possibilities are available and of what lies ahead. The typical administrative effort to fill this void is to have printed handouts and a modicum of other information available for the inquiring student. Also, efforts are m a d e t o s t ruct u r e s o m e on-campus i n t�rviewing by OU t s ide o r g anizations. These efforts are certainly valuable (and perhaps the level of effort here s h o u l d b e g r e a t e r). The administrative efforts here may fill· the _void from their point of view, but it is not even close to meeting the student's basic needs.

I t a lked w i t h Professor Wertimer about it la�t Spring, and he told me that something was in fact being done in this area. I'm not sure, however, whether he really understood what I was saying. William G. Barton '68

The two choirs, a total of approximately eighty voices, compliment each other extremely well, and have in the past combined for some memoragle performances. While the exact itinerary for the upcoming tour is uncertain, present plans call for a June 2 departure, followed by a week of rest and rehabilitation (after their g rueling six hour champagne flight) on the Italian Riveria where the group will work on any remaining flaws in their musical repertoire. Then from the Riveria, the choirs will perform in several other Italian cities, followed by s,t ops in Yugoslavia, Austria,. Germany, Switzerland, France, and England.

For New Division Suh-major BY PAT ZONTONAS Sandra DeMeyer, Kirkland Psychology Instructor, is trying to establish a new sub-major of Child Development. In recently taken surveys, it was evident that almost everyone wanted to take courses in this field. This program is ideal for people who are interested "in elementary education, or who want speech therapy, or nursing. Next semester she will be teaching two such courses, one of which is Introduction tp Child Development. · It will deal with questions such as "Is the mother necessary, how do children learn languages, how does the thought of a child differ from that of an adult. and what is the meaning of

intelligence testing?' The other is Modern Education and Child Development which w ould have the purpose of exploring the current ideas and research in this area and of reaching some suggestions on changes in the current educational system. Before Child Development as a sub-major can be integrated and realized, DeMeyer must meet with the other members of the P sychol o g y D epartment and discuss exactly what constitutes a major in psychology. DeMeyer, who has her Ph.D. in Child Development , is responsible for providing this scope. The other Kirkland Psychology fields are social and clinical psychology.

Overabundance Of Ph.D's; Supply Growing Annually STANFORD, Cal. (CPS) - In spite of a current oversupply of Ph . D . ' s , m any American un iversities are planning to expand their graduate programs to produce even more, a study by a prominent Stanford educator reveals. Professor Lewis B. Mayhew, who describes his finding as "Horrendous," has updated a 1967 survey of 156 coll�ges and universities with a new and larger one covering 800 institutions. Hi s study, made fm the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education garnered 368 returns from an extensive questionnaire sent out during 1968-69. If the trend works out as predicted, he said, "the current oversupply oJ advanced degree holders in some fields could spread to all fields." His estimates, based on expectations by the responding institutions, show that by 1980 US colleges and universities will produce 67,000 doctorates and at least 360 ,000 m a s t e r s ' degrees

annually. T h e r e a l r e a d y 1s a n oversupply of potential college teachers and there are heavy unsolicited applications from newly-hatched Ph. D.'s seeking jobs for fields in which no applicants could be found as late as 1967, he noted. This casts some doubt on the quality of graduate teaching during the co m i n g. d€cade, . Professor Mayhew observed, because of t h e proposed expansion of institutions which do not now have professional and advanced degree programs. Historically, there has been a very slow evolvement of profess ional a nd advanced training, rather than a rapid transition inside a decade to high quality graduate education. In his report, a short book t i t l e d "Gr a d u a t e a n d Professional Education, 1980," PMayhew shows that whereas 10 years ago academic interest lay in the so-called "hard sciences," there is now a major upsurge in the h umanities and social sciences.

Hamilton Studellt Traces Lineage Of Labrador Retrievers On ·Hill

Editor's Note: Curtis Read '71, master of one of Hamilton's popular Labrador Retrievers, has written this brief history of several canine residents. A swim across the Atlantic and a walk through time have brought the black and yellow Labrador Retriever to the cornerstones of H a m i l ton C ollege. Portugese sailors introduced the labrador ar c h etype to Lesser Newfoundland (Labrador) about 1600. This strain developed into the Newfoundland breed, a large curly coated water dog, which then was brought to Pool Harbor, England in 1800. The English, in their tradition of fine animal breeding, crossed the original strain with the smaller smooth-coated pointer to improve the sense of smell. The result was the Labrador Retriever, a sporting water dog w-ith a natural retrieving instinct. The first registered dog was brought to the United States by Long lsl,and millionaire Marshall Field in 1928 for duck hunting. Before this period the English breeders favored the black labs over the yellow and chocolate labs. The yellow pigment is the result of a double recessive gene, and this fact was enough excuse for the careful English breeder to drown the yellow offspring at birth. Some of the yellos survived and the first was brought to the U.S. in 1934 by my mother,Joan Redmond, who is the longest continual breeder in the colonies. It is estimated that there are 19,000 labs in this country, a fact making them the most popular sporting breed. The rapid rise is not d!-le to the proportionate rise in millionaires, but rather to a BAUDER'S Beautiful Motel

A fine group of new talented freshmen, and a solid core of experienced returning lettermen, may allow Hamilton's h o c k e·y -h u n g r y f a n s t o optimistically predict that the ice men can go all the way in 1970. Under the leadership of Coach Greg Batt, and · captain Mike: Thomas, · the Continentals have performed admirably in the first few days of practice.

Along with these veterans, freshman Steve Malcolm will skate the left wing. A strong skater, with fine style, Malcolm has adjusted well to the play of both Morin and Thomas, and that line should really produce a needed scoring punch this year.

most unusual formation, the wishbo ne T. Havi ng never defended against this formation, the Cont.inental defense seemed to be at a loss, allowing the Garnets' backfield to pick up several long gains. Yet unable to sustain a scoring attack, the always strengthening Hamilton defense forced the Garnets to punt the ball away, twice blocking Garnet punt attempts and eventually scoring o n both occasions. Sopchak was credited with both blockings and turned in another fine game at -his linebacking position. After the first blocked punt, the Hamilton offense found itself with excellent field position deep in Union territory. On the ensuing play, Quarterback Mark Rice, continuously sending his ends and backs o n p a s s patt erns c ompleted his first of four touchdown passes, eventually completing 1 7 of 24 passes, and setting the school's record for touchdo'Xll passes for a single ·season, 16.

During the game Scarpitto tied and eventually surpassed the receptions per, single season record, catching 9 passes, for a total of 39 receptions for the year. The only Union talley came with less than a minute to go in the first period as John Swanko, Union's recipient of the Rue award, dove �over from the two yard line. The extra point ,was no good and at halftime, Hamilton led 7-6; Joe Reagan's extra point kick being the game's original deciding factor. As the final game of the season for both teams, Union finished the season with a 5-4 record and Hamilton with a 3-5 record, not justifiably evident of the hardship season that the squad struggled through. Numerous injuries to key players throughout the. season made near wins disheartening losses; their 3-5 record could possibly have been 6-2 or 7-1, the only outstanding loss to Alfred University.

AT H LET ES OF T HE W-E E K sophomore year; a skill which is so important for a tight end. No longer does Coach Don Jones think twice before running his end. Last weekend Scarpitto had one of his most spectacular games of this year. He snared nine of Mark Rice's passes for 126 yards, and in doing so established a new Hamilton College record for most receptions in a season. Scarpitto is only a junior, and if he continues to play as he has in the past he will have no trouble establishing himself as Hamilton's all-time leading receiver.

W etmen Triumph; Hamilton Best in State

C o lie g e , Ha milton unbeknownst to many sports fans, is the number-one college water polo team in New York State. Under the outstanding direction of Frederick MacDonald, the wetmen proved to be the superior team in the New York State In tercoll egia te Wa ter P o lo Tourna m e n t , outlasting the competition to finish the season at 5-1. In the first round of the t o u r·n a m ent , H amilton drew Clarkson, and downed the last place finishers 35:2. The second game was not as easy, however, as the polo player just nipped a strong Pottsdam State team 16-15. In the two final games, Hamilton faced St. Lawrence, the hosts of the event, and succumbed in the first game in the last seconds 23-24. Not to be denied,

the Continentals rallied, and staged a fine performance to down the Larries 22-15 and finish in first place. Guards Pete Schloerb and Larry Bently were selected for the first-team All-Tournament team, and Freshman Dave Shapland received honorable mention All-Tournament. Bruce Rinker, B r i a n C a vana ugh, and Bob Tieglemann, though not selected for All-Tournament awards, were leading scorers with eight�en goals apiece. Hugh Sampson, Chuck Mills, Ed Rosten and Don Kendall are among others who added to this effort, and the entire team is a credit to the college. Prospects are good for next year, and Coach M a c D o n ald expressed his confidence that Hamilton will repeat its performance, and be number-one again next year.

Although the administration is optimistic that all students will be in the new dormitory by the start of second semester, Robert Heidrich, Director of Ongoing Construction, does not thin� that the dorm will be completed until the end of February.

The newly formed Executive Committee of the Senate has t he Hamilton asked Administration to grant tuition rebates to students spending campus January on off Independent Studies. Presently, the college grants a minimum board refund. The Senate contends that these students receive a minimum of faculty supervmon, generally submitting a paper at the end of January. The Senate feels that the refund of money would encourage more imaginiative projects, since students would have more money to work with. Members of the Administration who were present at the meeting with the Executive Committee felt that minimum faculty supervision was the students' choice, and since the course of study was still authorized and supervised by the college, tuition could not be refunded. Vice President and Provost Paul D. Carter explained that the proposal would have to be considered further _and stiidied by the ad.ministration. Refunds for the month of January would necessitate a three-period billing system, and the practicality of such a system would have to be considered, explained Carter. Controller Ronald F. MacDonald said; "I am certain that our IBM equipment would be able to accomodate a three-period system; although I have not yet studied the effect that such a procedure would have on the Business Office.

If the institutions are to prosper, he said, the Federal and state governments will have_ to contribute substantially more funds than in the past. At the same time, the institutions must cut their costs and raise tuition as much as is realistic. The, 250-page study, on which Dr. Kerr's estimate was based, examined 41 private and public colleges and universities of all types in 21 states and the District of Columbia and found that 70 per cent of these were either in financial difficulty or "headed for It is trouble." becoming increasing!: evident in recent years.

Hamilton Found FinancinllySOlid Hamilton College is not in trouble, according to a study released Thursday by the Carnegie Commission on Hig-her Education. Hamilton was among 41 colleges and universities which were studied and classified as "Not in Trouble"financially, "Headed for Trouble" or "In Financial Difficulty." There were eleven other institutions classified as "Not in Trouble." A "new depression" has struck American colleges and universities and their deepening financial plight can be overcome only by massive national effort, '.\Ccording to the study. Dr. Earl r.

Chapel in recent years. He has also done much to promote channels of communication between students and faculty in areas where he sees definite misunderstanding. The enlightening view he has brought to Kirkland's Drug Advisory Committee has already made an impact as Kirkland begins to adopt new ways of approaching the problems of drug abuse. Mr. Tibbetts makes a point of visiting students in the infirmary daily and ·talks to p·rofessors for in-patients: who are having difficulty completing course assignments. He also visits ·regularly Hamilton and Kirkland students who are hospitalized in Utica. One reason why Mr. Tibbetts has come to Hamilton and Kirkland is to help students deal with their complexities. And he truly has a knack for making many of those - complexities seem a lot more manageabl�.

defend someone it wishes to sue. But think about what the-College is asking of students who edit the Spectator. In the mid-60's four out of six editors-in-chief failed to graduate with their class, and some administrators are willing to admit off the record, that more recently the College "passed through" one or two editors. Also, the editor-in-chief of the Spectator is not a much sought after position. In four out of the last five years, only one student each year has sought the position. The College tells us that we are overreaching to our legal predicament, since we will most likely never have to worry about being sued for libel. Maybe we are, but if the chances are so slim, isn't the College also overreaching to the predicament as it tries to · protect itself? We are told that the College wants a student newspaper very very much. We therefore ask the College to make sacrifices for wh<l:t it wants, just as editors have made sacrifices for what they want to do. Because of exams and vacation, this is the last scheduled issue of the Spectator for at least four weeks. During this interval we ask the College to reconsider its position, trying to understand the predicament students working for the Spectator are faced with.

Editing a student newspaper has always entailed several responsibilities, and at our meeting with the · college attorney last week, the editors of the Spectator were informed of a responsibility we never knew we had. In the past we have always thought that the Trustees _of the College had the ultimate resp.onsibility for the Spectator, and in the event of a libel suit, liability rested with the Trustees, not the editor-in-chief or the reporter. The College attorney has informed us, however, that if the Spectator is sued, the editor-in-chief and anyone responsible for the defamatory material are automatically responsible, though probably the Trustees would also be named as defendants.. Though the chahc_es of a libel suit ever being brought against the Spectator are slim, we feel there is cause for considerable alarm. Five years ago no one would ever have thought of taking legal action against a college Students may often underestimate the - .Eewspaper for defamation.

THE SPECTATOR

feedback Response To the Editor: I find it necessary to respond to the ''Comment" by Jim Vick in the Spectator - of November 6, 1970. I take issue with his conclusion that the student op1mon of the infirmary is . hen over 75% of the negative, w two colleges did not respond to the questionaire. It would appear rather that they are , not taking 'any attitude. Of the 24% of those from Hamilton that, responded, responded majority the affirmatively. I would agree that if there is any fault with the medical care, that it should be remedied; and that indeed, it is the obligation of the administrations to investigate this through their own means as well as "through students." For many years the facilities at Hamilton were inadequate, the medical care left much to be desired, and the complaints were numerous. Therefore, the Alumni Council, in 1962, appointed a committee to in¥estigate the situation, and this committee a full time r ecommended physician on campus. A Medical Advisory Committee appointed at the same time has met every year to review the medical policies and to receive a report from the physician regarding the utilization of the health facilities. The committee (consisting of three obstetricians and gynecologists, two internists,, one psychiatrist, and a lawyer for medico-legal advic e) met this October 2, with Doctor Roe, Doctor Muilenberg, and representatives of the administrations of both coll eges. This amounts to a peer revi ew, for this committee has al ways critically analyzed the reports presented to it. At no time has any s erious consequence due to lack of availability of the physician, a missed diagnosis, or mistreatment be en brought to our attention. Quite the contrary, we do have documented evidence of life saving procedures and avoidance of epidemics on this campus, as wel l as l etters of gratitude from parents for prompt and proper medical care. The committee has investigated the health services at several col leg es, and one of the most common difficulties these services have to overcom e is the time honored poor image that college health services The bear. rel uctance to seek care at the infirmary is not new. Since the founding of Kirkl and, we have discussed every year the need of a gynecol ogist on th e Hill. This fall, the gynecol ogist in Utica, who s ees most of these girls, deci ded that it was not necessary for him to come to the Hill , even part tim e, to . examine th small · number of girls who request his· services. Ev. en more disturbing to me is the implication of the inabil ity of the college physician. The Committee has always tiel ieved. that we have been most fortunate: in having a, physician o( Doctor Roe's caliber-a man who one time e'njoyed the privilege of a private practice and the respect of his patients, and who has, in my · consi d ered opinion, given competent, conscientious, and

dedicated service to Hamilton since 1964. The criticism is without documented evidence, reporting only hearsay. My main objection' is the unjust character assassination of any individual, especially of Doctor Roe, who does no_t deserve such derogatory treatment based on this type of statistical analysis. You have also stated in your comment that this situation should be investigated through students. Twice each year, I have been present at the Student Affairs Committee meeting of the Board of Trustees, and not once has a student brought a criticism regarding the Health Service. However, we are always open to suggestions and constructive criticism. We of the alumni and trustees share with you the concern of the health of the students and the welfare of Hamilton College.

On January 10, each fraternity will submit to the IFC Rushing Committ�e a Limit Number. This Limit. Number will reflect the numb er of pledges a fraternity needs in order to expand to its natural maximum membership. This Limit Number will be determined in the following way: a. For the eight fraternities in their own houses - the number of persons required to fill the fraternity's dining room without any improvements or increase of kitchen staff, less the number of juniors and sophomores in the house. b. For the three fraternities in the Bundy Quadrangle - the number of persons required to fill the fraternity's alloted singles, plus on,� half of th� doubles in their.section, plus 25% of the total of the first two, less the numbers of juniors and sophomores in the house. c. The IFC Rushing Committee may revise the Limit Number of any fraternity before January 15. A fraternity may appeal a decision to the entire IFC membership where a majority vote will rule .

4. The Rushing Period will begin at 9:00 AM, Wedne sday, February 3, and continue until 12:00 noon, Wednesday, February 10. The following regulations will be in effe ct during this period. a. D_unham is closed to all fraternity members except advisors. F"."aternities may begin to offer bids to freshmen at 9:00 b. AM, Wednesday, February 3. The fratemities may offer bids up to their Limit Number at_any time during this period. c. AIJ bids offered by a house will be considered binding on that house.. d.

was Allain, Olivier soloist, excellent, and Mr. Allain's playing was fluid, although one could have wished for a more resonant organ. Haydn's Concerto for Organ and Orchestra was played next, and here the orchestra grasped the fun and humor in the piece, which are trademarks of Haydn. The players themselves seemed to be· having a great time, particularly the cellists. The almost Mozartean first movement was played very­ well, with a fine dialogue between soloist and orchestra, and the orchestra captured all of the melodic tenderness of the slow second movement. The early Classical composer, J.C. Bach (son of the well-known Bach) was then represented by his beautiful Symphonie Concertante in A for Violin, Cello, and Orchestra. The cellow and violin soloists were both excellent, playing with excellent, resonant tone quality. They had so much rapport that they almost se�med . to be playing as one, and Kuentz led a refined performance of the work.

Senate Executive Committee Relays Senate Positions Continued from page 1 Executive Committee of the Senate was the matter of the Theater Program budget. At the beginning of the year the Senate decided not to pay for theater productions that were more closely related to the college's theater program than to the student's theater program. This resulted in a considerable cut in the Charlatans' budget all covered which formerly productions. The Senate, however, was anxious to le'.ll'n the plans of the college with respect to a theater budget. The Senate is presently hindered by a lack of knowledge about its future responsibilities to the Charlatans, if any. Mr. Carter notified the senators present that the Theater Budget was not yet finished, although it was being prepared. He did note

Again hard work and team play payed off, as Norwich scored twice in rapid succession; one on a tip in from the point, and one on a fine play by cadet captain Jim Gripp. The momentum had changed han�, and late in the period Nor wich socred again. After killing an interference penalty, the cadets set up their offense, and tucked on off the post to beat sophomore goalie Greg Root. The final period began well for Hamilton. Barely missing scoring opportunities, it looked like the icemen could bounce back. The - first line put the pressure on hard, which resulted in a goal by senior left wing Greg Batt, after a melay in front of the nets. Brian Morin, and co-captain Mike Thomas were credited with assists. This was Hamilton's last goal, however, as Norwich wrapped up the scoring with a late goal. There were many mistakes which came out; too many penalties, not enough hussle. But the team has the potential, and with more fine-performances like those of defensemen Jerome Mon tie th and Jim Rishel, and goalie Greg Root, the team could do very well. Coach Batt and the rest of the team are still very optimistic. In last year's electrifying upset meet with Rochester, it was the support of the capacity Hamilton student crowd that •gave the Continentals the extra incentive for victory. With team effort and f i n e p erf o r m a n c es from A I I -American candidates, Pete Schloerb and Paul Crumrine Hamilton could be well on its wa; to another highly successful season.

Marine RepffSCntatives Seek .Communication With Students "If I'd been there when Lieut. Calley lined up those villagers-if he did-I would have blown him away. I would have just blown· him away." Thus commenting on the My Lai incident, Marine 1st Lt. Richard D. Porrello touched on one of many topics discussed in a conversation between members of the Officer Selection section· of · the United States Marine Corps and several students. The Maripes, along with their counterparts representing the Anny, Navy, and Air Force, took part in the Annual Military lnfon;nation Day held in the _Bristol iounge last Tuesday.

Also present was a draft counselor, Professor Melvin Endy of the Hamilton Religion Department. Mr. Endy was substituting for a representative of the American Friends Service Committee who was unable to attend. The Marine contingent consisted of Capt. Donald R. Frank, 1st Lieut. Richard D. Porrello, and G/Sgt. Ronald E. Gordon. None were serving in a capacity as recruiters. Their special function is . giving information to college students · throughout New York State and creating open channels of dialogue between young civilians and those in military service.

Several reasons were expressed for wishing to serve in this capacity. "First of all, l'µi going for my master's· degree at Syracuse University where· we 're based," said Capt. Frank. ''Next, and this is where my deepest concern lies, is that I want to do all I can to improve the quality of the people in the Marine Corps. We have a serious problem in that we are no longer getting· our share of the disproportionally high number of intelligent people who attend college in the Northeast." While Lieut. Porrello agreed, G/Sgt. Gordon took another approach: "I got into this because of the challenge. I wanted to try and. communicate with college students. I want to learn why they feel the way they do about us and want to be·able to tell them. that I feel the same way about the injustices ·we suffer, as they do." While discussing the proposed "all-volunteer" 'army,· their responses reflected a good deal of pragmatic thought. Capt. Frank said this: "Face it. the last thing I want to see is an unprofessional Marine Corps. The worst thing in the -world is an unhappy lieutenant. We've never had as many problems as when we had to start dipping into the draft pool for men in 1965. But I'm deeply afraid . of the concept of. an all-volunteer corps. You can't solve a problem· or even understand it by divorcing yourself from it. You've got to get to where you can have a dialogue with those who have the power to make change." But on the topic of universal military service, Lieut. Porrello offered these observations: "I don't want to see universal military service. I want' to see universal service! We all owe something to that community. I think it's a crime that Vista and Peace Corps volunteers, after serving their time, are not draft exempt. There is a great iniquity here." agreed a m o ngst They themselves that during wartime an abnormally large amount of men are required and are obtainable only through the passing of a draft act, which will undoubtedly be done if again "'needed" even if there is· an all-volunteer army.

Out of a desire to expand the influence and responsibility of the Senate, in matters that concern the Student Body, the Senate passed a resolution Wednesday night which will ask the administration to delegate _responsibility for housing to the Senate.

U)ffee House:

Dies of Apathy

BY ROY SCHECTER The Coffee House, a Jomt Hamilton-Kirkland venture which once provided low budget entertainment at modest costs, has gone out of business, although few people seem to know it. The anonymity of the Coffee House's demise is one indication of the cause of its death: lack of interest of the student body. According to Josh Simpson '7 2 head of the S tu d en t c Entertainment Committee and chief organizer of the Coffee House, the major problem was that ''we couldn't get enough people to make posters for publicity, so nobody came to the performances." Two months ago, Simpson dissolved the organization, hoping possibly to start it again if "any­ one expressed enough remorse at its passing." Instead, nobody even noticed that it was gone. Nevertheless, Simpson will try to start the Coffee_ House again, probably later in January. The SEC has alloted $500 out of its $19,000 budget to the restoration of the Coffee House for the coming semester. Formerly, the Coffee House operated on $3,000 given by the SEC to a New York City agent who hired performers to give a total of three to five concerts a year on the Hill. The rest of the entertainment was procured by Simpson himself, by offering the performers half of the "take" at the door. This usually did not amount to very much, and consequently entertainers of a higher caliber could not be obtained. The $3,000 formerly given to the agent has now been

capsule reviews on some of them. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (this classic· deserves more than a capsule.): Russ "The Vixen" Meyer really outdid himself with this one. Cynthia "Silicone" Myers stars as the valley with a supporting cast of unknowns on the verge of remaining that way. It is the story of three innocent, robust, and eminently healthy young maidens who form a band and then fall prey to the grasps of an Elizabethan transvestite named Z-Man and an exhibitionist stud. The spoils of success cause the girls to abandon their long time friend, manager, and lover, Freddy. _ Freddy in his loneliness is drawn to the buxom bosom of Ashley St. Ives, a Hollywood starlet who prefers a Rolls to a Bentley to a bed. The story climaxes when Freddy attempts suicide by jumping off the rafters into the Merv Griffin Show. He

survives, but is doomed to live as a helpless paraplegic. The viewer suffers a worse fate: he has to watch another hour. The movie does finally end, but not before Freddy nails Z-Man, who had just bludgeoned the silicone valley to death, stabbedthe Nazi butler, finished off some dental work on one of the unknowns with a .45 , and decapitated the exhibitionist stud whose head rolls obtrusively off the screen. The last ten minutes of this epic escaped us only because we beat a hasty and premature retreat right after Freddy was miraculously cured while falling out of his wheelchair onto the dead valley. The Libertine: Frank ''The Great White Ape" B. Slatts of the Cedar Falls Lone Star called it "stupendous". Fosbury Rootch of the Pottslvania Times called it ''pornography" after seeing it sixteen times. Clifton Horowitz of the Castle-on-the-Nile River News called it "Catherine Spaak's finest hour." Stevonovitch lvanovitch Smithonovitc'h of the Bolshevik Rublesaver said"grachily yagnos grknas." We agree with him. The Walking Woman: She didn't walk fast enough to catch us leaving early. Without a S#tch: Although the performance of Anna Grete was sterling, it did not approach the skill of a dirty old man in the balcony of the theater who was making improper advances on an old lady. Engrossed by his acting, the entire theater audience watched as he was bodily carried away by two police officers. Lab reports published the next day showed that the substance in his brown paper bag was in no way similar to popcorn butter. Monique: Unique. Space Angels: The theme was something less than religous. This is the most detailed study of celestial bodies ever filmed. Coming Apart: The most exciting thing about this film was the Hamilton alumnus in the fifth row of the Science Auditorium trying to put his wife back together. More:· Less. Trader Hornee: The star of this film is named Hamilton Hornee, which coincidentally is the name of a locally occurring disease.

T.HE SPEC.TATOR

College Newspapers Ha.ssled on Abortion Ads (CPS)-The staff of the College student Concordia newspaper Concordian has been locked out of its offices by their administration in the latest in a series of crackdowns on student papers that run abortion referral and counsel advertising. Editor Omar Olson, stated that the paper ran the ad on Thursday, December 3, and they were informed the morning of December 7 by college president Joseph Knutson that the paper was in violation of a 1909 Minnesota Penal Code Statute making it illegal to advertise �y means of terminating pregnancy: In a letter to the student body and faculty, Knutson wrote that not only was such advertising illegal, but it made sex and drugs most important in the minds of the students at Concordia. "I as president have no other recourse than to suspend the publication of the paper." Knutson directed the college's Student Affairs Committee to make "a study of the role of the college newspaper, its purpose and character, and to set up definite guidelines for its publication and supervision in harmony with the goals of the college as set forth in the official documents of the Concordia insti tution." is affiliated with the American Lutheran Church. The Minnesota action was the latest in a series of react_ions of university administrations to the publication of abortion referral ads, or to ads publicising contraceptive devices. Papers have ceased running the ads in widely scattered sections of the country, including Connecticut, Ohio, and South Dakota and Georgia. In several of the cases, the American is Civil· Liberties Union considering action to test the state laws that the ads are alleged to violate. In · Connecticut, both the university of Connecticut Daily Campus and the University of Bridgeport Scribe · ceased publishing the ads November 30, awaiting a decision from State Attorney General. Robert Killian on the issue. However, the Bridgeport paper informed its readership in an editorial that "Had the editors and advertising staff been in cpmplete and absolute control of The Scribe the advertising would still be in the paper. Our concern for your right to this information and our right to convey it to you would have made it mandatory that we continue the advertising even to the point of being arrested a'nd tried for a misdemeanor." The paper reminded that back issues of The Scribe were always available to be read. The Connecticut law states that "any person who by public lecture or otherwise or by advertisement or by sale or circulation of any publication encouraging or prompting to the comm1ss1on of" abortions is subject to criminal prosecution. Punishment is designated as a fine. not more than $500 or imprisonment of not more than a y�ar. The editor of The Echo at Western State College in Danbury has decided to continue running ads, despite the law. Editor

Ron Squires said "My decision as of now is to continue running the ads. It is possible that if� as expected, we too get hassled, we will at least strongly consider a court battle." He is seeking legal assistance. The ads in question have been placed in college papers throughout the country by Professional Scheduling Service, Inc., Abortion Advisory Service, Inc., and • The Abortions Information Agency, all of New York City and the Abortion

Referral Service of Philadelphia. Ads placed by Population Services, Inc., a Chapel Hill, North Carolina firm, have received less trouble, presumably because they advertise men's contraceptives. Chuck Marks, a member of the Abortion Referral Service, whose · ad�ertising was involved in the Concordia case, noted thsat the laws involved in all of the states where there has been resisitance to the publication of abortion referral ads were morality laws going back to the - turn of the

century. He stated, for example, of the state. that the Minnesota statute was At the University of Georgia, a part of the 1909 penal code, and member of the state Board of that the law forbade publishing Regents raised objections to the advertising promising "cures for student newspaper, The Red and illnesses of sexual indulgence." Black, running an ad on abortion In another case, he explained couns,eling and other ads on that Ohio statutes prohibited contraceptives. The matter was publishing abortion referral or referred to a subcommittee with counseling advertising, but only if suggestions of threatening all state colleges and it originated from inside the state. . Georgia The law made no mention of university papers with the freezing agencies or publications from of funds if they did not adhere to elsewhere telling the residents of certain standards set down by the Ohio about such services outside Board.

National, Abortion Research Poll Announced The C�uncil on Abortion Research and Education is conducting an in-depth, nationwide survey on public awareness and attitude towards legal abortion, it was announced _ by Richard Roman, executi� e director of the non-profit organization.

Those opposed are seeking to repeal what they consider the fiberalized section of the law or, at the very least, to sharply limit the number of weeks of pregnancy during which a legal abortion may be performed. Those in favor are striving to further liberalize the law or to at least remove what

they consider roadblocks imposed by local authorities such as certain requirements that make it a practical impossibility to have a legal abortion performed in a physician's office.

In December the Continental team upset favored Cortland 59 to 54 in the final relay meet. If the team can defeat RPI this weeke�d and Williams the following Saturday, the College has an excellent chance of having another undefeated swimming team. Against Hobart, the Hill tankmen won eight events, captured five second place

The budget proposed at last weekend's meeting of Kirkland's Board of Trustees calls for a reduction in the level of scholarship aid to incoming students and for an increase in the student-faculty ratio to 13-1. The proposed total budget raises last year's total of $2.6 million to just over $3 million. President Samuel · F. Babbitt explained that cuts in present and planned programs had to be made to avoid incurring too massive a deficit. To help meet the rising costs of education, total student fees will rise to $4000. The pr(?posed Hamilton budget also calls for a deficit of just under $100,000. No deficit is anticipated for operating this year. The Kirkland budget included reductions in the level of scholarship aid to incoming students beginning next fall. President Babbitt said, however, that the level of scholarships granted to students now at the college would be maintained. Faculty salaries would be adjusted upwards, "but not as much as we would have liked," said Mr. Babbitt. "These are lean years, and the economic situation is beyond our control." The Hamilton budget allows an increase of the student-faculty ratio within the limits prescribed by the trustees last year, when it was decided that enrollment would swell to 1000. The Kirkland budget would cut back on two faculty positions that had previously been planned for. Next year student enrollment will fill out at 600, and the faculty will number 45 1/3.

Mr. Babbitt also announced that the Artist in Residence position would be cut, "_but with considerable pain." In outlining these changes,­ President Babbitt recognized that the students and faculty are "being asked to bear a larger

The college has also tightened up on money alloted to extracurricular activities and to purchases in the arts area. Vice President and Provost Paul D. Carter said that the colleges are "continuing to look for further ways to combine and economize on expenses." Kirkland's financial state is hurt most by the nationally 'tight supply of money and by the huge debt service it must pay on the used finance bonds to construction of buildings. Tuition fees will just about cover educational and general expenses, while room and other fees do not equal the outlays for auxiliary expenses, which include the debt service on the bonds. The finance Committee met jointly with the Hamilton Trustee Committee on Finance and

Kirkland is not alone in the hard times it is facing, for all but two of the major private Eastern girl's colleges are in the same position. The problem at Kirkland is aggravated, because the school has no alumni, and few endowments to help alleviate the shortage of funds faced by the college.

Applications Up In '71 BY MARK WIECHMAN Although applications l'or admission to most American colleges have fallen off this year, Hamilton College applications increased by almost 15 per cent from last year. The decrease in applications to Ivy League colleges .is reported large; Harvard has ten per cent fewer applications. Two colleges that are bucking this trend along with Hamilton are Colgate (up 5 per cent) and Cornell (up 7 .per cent). of Secretary Associ ate Admission Christopher W.

E:ditorial.s . Drug Committ ees Even though they have heen meeting regularly throughout the fall semester, both the Hamilton and Kirkland Drug Advisory Committees have been inactive and thus ineffective. College drug committees have a greater obligation to students than merely establishing college drug policies and th us police students from pr otecting intervention. The Hamilton_ and Kirkland Drug. Committees must realize that they have ignored their responsibilities to the students they serve and represent. Last spring, Hamilton's Drug Committee established a college drug policy which was approved by the faculty. The major purpose of the policy was to show law enforcement agents that Hamilton 1s concerned about drug use, and is effectively disciplining students who use drugs. The college attorneys felt that a drug l)Olicy such as this protects an institutio'n trom outside interference by police authorities. Kirkland has yet to establish any drug policy, let alone one that will protect the college from interference by the police. In setting up a drug policy, the Hamilto� committee has dealt with its legal responsibilities but it has ignored its rehabilitational educational a nd obligations; Kirkland's committee has yet to fulfill any of these three responsibilities. Neither colleg� has a drug education program or a rehabilitation program which has the confidence of students with drug problems. Every Hamilton student is required to attend sex education lectures with the college physician during the first semester. Though most students probably kno_ w more about sex than they do about drugs, no parallel lecture program exists on drug use. Fortunately the colleges have qualified personnel to lecture to students about the intricacies of sex. Unfortunately there is no one here who is qualified to lecture on the intricacies of drug use or abuse. Though the colleges may not need full time personnel to deal with drug education, the drug committees have an obligation to set up a drug education program for students - a program which would tell the student what the various drugs he may take contain, their effects both physiological and psychological, and some -of the reasons why he may feel the need to f:�e certain illegal drugs. If, as the college physician claims, qiost students with drug problems do n�t feel confident with treatment from the Health Center, then the Health Center is not the proper place to treat stud�nts with drug problems. A "drug pad" would be the proper place if students are confident that

such a rehabilitation program could begin to help them. At their meetings next week, the drug _ committees ought to reconsider how they can deal with the drug problem, for if the present their maintain committees attitudes, they have outlived their usefulness. The Kirkland Drug Committee must demopstrate a serious concern for a college drug policy immediately for until it establishes a drug policy, it will continue to accomplish nothing.

Budget Kirkland and Hamilton, like all private institutions, are forced to operate under a harsh economic climate. The slow growth of incomes and the rapid rise in costs have made Kirkland•s growth difficult; its deficit has been larger than expected. As President Babbitt explained, Kirkland is in the difficult position of trying to cut expenses yet grow at the same time. That Kirkland has been forced to cut back on anticipated programs is unfortunate, though cut backs are unavoidable if the budget is to make ends meet. But the decision to cut back on the level of student scholarship aid,two anticipated positions on the faculty and the Artist in Residence position appear to be drastic steps, ones that crtically affect the nature and quality of a Kirkland education. Kirkland's method of evaluation of academic performance thrives on the individual exchange between instructor and student and requires a low student-faculty ratio to work effectively. The increase in fees and the reduction of financial aid to incoming students, according to the Director of Admissions Carole Walker, are factors in the decreas� in applications to Kirkiand. Cutting expenditures for education hurts the students, faculty, and the-college's goal of educating and developing the potential of each · individual. The Administration m:ust continue to cut its own expenses, to cooperate with Hamilton wherever possible to _reduce the high cost of administrating the colleges. The combination of offices such as the Financial Aid Office is a step in the right direction, thoug!i more steps must be taken. It appears absurd to live in the luxury of ,a new dormitory with a kitchenette for every six or eight girls while classes are becoming overcrowded and the educational goals are compromised. Kirkland must continue to cut non-educational expenses to carefully maintain and surpass the high level of achievement gained so far.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY

M�ny ?f us hoped that the strike last spring protesting the mvas10n of Cambodia would spread, and become an effective national strike. Because it -was largely a student _ stnke, how�ver, the fact that it occurred at the very end of the academic year took the steam out of it before that could happen, and as we know, it petered out. That left a lot of_people in a state of apathy and confusion, especially _ the people_ �ho did not have a sound, ongoing political base for the1r participation in the strike - people whose moral indig�ation was aroused but who had not really begun to thmk about the whole political and economic picture of which the Cambodian invasion was just one small part. These people, when the Strike folded did not have any idea what to do next and, on many c�puses, _ there was no strong �oveme:°t group to help them study . and orgamze for ongomg radical work. Their condition of disappointment and confusion, which expressed itself as apathy, has continued through the fall and winter. Now the invasion of Laos, under cover of a blackout that is obviously designed to prevent the flaring up of effective pr�test (for last spring's protest, as Noam Chomsky has pomted out, did have a limiting, restraining effect on the Cambodian adventure) demands of us that we re-energize ourse�ves - when I say "we", I mean everyone who orgam2:ed �d participated in the strike last spring. We must try agam, but much harder, to awaken the masses of people - �tarting with ourselves and the people close to us an� movmg out from there - to the disgrace and horror of th�s war and the b :traya� of �ll decent human hopes by our _ lymg, shameless, 1mpenahstic administration. And I call _ especially on all w?m�n to activate themselves against this �ar a�d all expans10mst wars, which are, as an undeniable histoncal fact, expressions of male supremacist governme?ts. J �in wi�h people all over the country who are planmng � i�t�ns1fied struggle this spring and working _ towards massive civil disobedience actions in �fay. Peace, Denise Levertov

Drug Committees A gr ee; Drug Use Seen Declining Continued from page 1 Study of Drug Dependence", conducted by Dr. Baer, an anesthesiologist from Clinton, has resulted in several proposals that are being brought up before the drug committees of both colleges. One of these proposals is for a "Drug Pad" where students could go to receive help during bad drug experiences from fellow students. It would be modeled after the Utica College "Crisis Center" which is run exclusively by students, with a physician on call. It is possible that the "pad" could be partly financed- through state and federal money allocated for such projects. The proposal was previously turned down by the committeess, but will be reviewed again. Dr. Roe and Dr. . Donald Muilenberg both oppose the "Drug Pad". Dr. Roe says, "If anyone needs attention he should receive it at the Health Center and

no place else." He emphasizes that no record of drug use goes on a student's health record and that everything is done to protect the student. Dean DePuy says that the Hamilton committee has been meeting regularly with little publicity. He feels that the purpose of the committee is to prevent a "bust" and to try and reduce the use of drugs on campus. He admits, however, that there is no real way to stop the use of drugs. Kreisworth agrees with Dean DePuy saying that the committee deals with drug use, "...as a fact." The committee is concerned with the legal consequences of drug use and making the student body aware of them. Reports of placing more committees emphasis on attitudes towards drug use were studied before this approach was adopted.

Covert To Become Admissions Director BY KEN GIVENS of S ecretary Assistant Admissions Christopher W. Covert will assume the office of Director of Admissions on J u!y 1. Sidney B. Bennett who presently holds this position under the title of Secretary of Admissions, will retire at that date. Covert said that he would not run the Office of Admissions exactly as Mr. Bennett has, but added that his predecessor has done "a really great job." Covert commented that "the College does not appreciate the work Mr. Bennett has accomplished, nor does the college realize how highly respected Mr. Bennett is in the field of College Admissions." Covert also stated that the new committee a d m issions Will attempt to improve its present recruiting efforts by stimulating

more alumni recruiting. The Office of Admissions will mail admissions information to the alumni to persuade them to recruit prospective candidates in their respective areas. When asked about the greatest problem facing him as Director of Admissions, Covert replied that "maintaining academic quality will be the toughest challenge." Covert noted economic the present that situation has worked against the admissions committee's goal of increased geographic diversity among incoming students. Covert believes that the College will accept more students from the state of New Y c:irk next year because students holding Regent Scholarships will want to use them.

The next day,- the Continentals travelled to Williamstown to face the Ephmen, a team that has perenially given the icemen a hard time. Having lost to Williams already this year 7-2, this contest was crucial. Greg Batt opened the scoring, on a beautiful display of hockey finesse. Getting a pass from Jim Rishel and Loren Hunter, Batt broke through the defense and fired the puck into the upper left hand corner of the goal. But Williams responded, however with two goals at 15:50 and 4:14 of the period. They demonstrated their hustling brand of hockey at its best.

Rushing Percentages Down; TDX In Trouble BY ROBERT GIAN During Hamilton College's first week-long rushing period, 12� freshmen, or 51 per cent of the class, accepted bids to join fraternities. Some houses had a very successful year, while others are · in serious trouble. At the losing end of rushing week was TDX. Theta Delt did not rush heavily and, in the words of Rushing Committee Chairman Jim Morgan, "they were left holding a bag with one freshman in it." The house released him from his pledge and nullified all its other bids. The future of TDX remains uncertain because of financial, as well as rushing, problems. At a house meeting Wednesday evening, members decided to remain in operation for the rest of the year. A second meeting, at the end of the semester, will resolve Theta Delt's fate for next year. DePuy indicated that if TDX tries to remain in existence this year, the house trustees, not the College, will incur any debts. President John W. Chandler expressed confidence that the College will be able to wo!k

with TDX members and trustees in coming to a decision on the future of the house. Should the house fold, the school will probably use the structure as a dormitory facility. A study would have to be conducted to determine the feasibility of using the house kitchen. DU was the most successful fraternity in obtaining pledges. Psi U and ELS, each with· ' nineteen pledges, and AD, with sixteen, also had very fine rushing years. DKE took a small pledge class of six. In Morgan's opinion, this, coupled with internal problems such as a very high dropout rate, makes it imperative that DKE rush hard next year it if wants to continue to exist. Chi Psi took only seven freshmen, but is in no difficulty because of last year's huge pledge class and its large endowment. Gryphon accepted a very small pledge class of four, but in the Bundy complex this assures its continued existence. The other two Bundy houses, TKE and D Phi, are in no trouble, with twelve and six pledges respectively. Continued on Page Seven

. BY BILL DELANEY The Student Senate passed a resolution which may put it on a collision course with Associate Dean Hadley S. DePuy. According to members of the Senate, "20 or more" Hamilton students have eluded the college boa rd by r e q uirem ent arrangements with ELS and Theta Delta Chi. The procedure they adopt is as follows. Students who have paid their board bills to the college announce to the college their intention of eating at one of the two houses, although they do not. The college in tum distributes this money to the fraternities where students are supposedly eating. The fraternities then return $300 to these students and retain $25 as a nominal fee. In this regard, the Student Senate has passed the following resolution: ''The Student Senate supports activities of Houses to of determine bills board individuals." DePuy has withheld comments on this matter until Monday morning Chapel. Perhaps the most interesting idea raised at the meeting was not explored in great depth. At the moment, no blacks sit on the college senate. The Black Union is supposedly represented by the independents who are members. Since it is not technically a fraternity, the Union's special interests are not directly heard when the Senate convenes. Several of the Senators, including Senate President Stephen Baker '71, are obviously concerned about this problem, but it may be a while before it emerges in clear enough focus for attention.

Steve Baker 71

The rest of the meeting concerned procuring funds for the Black Union and acquiring a type of college self-insurance policy for certain mishaps, such as the Outing Club's recent jitney crash. In this case, the damages will be_� subsidized by the Senate's contingency fund. In addition, a resolution was passed seeking an explanation of why a group - of Kirkland students were permitted to move into the Griffin Road apartments, while Hamilton students have still not been afforded this opportunity. Plans have been made for an Auxiliary Service Committee, headed by Mr. Wertz, which will look into the feasibility of serving beer in the Bristol Cafeteria, and adding partitions and a juke box to create a pub atmosphere.

Chandler A-nnounces New Chai-terTrustees President John W. Chandler announced the election of two new C harter Trustees--one a college president and the other a former college president. The new trustees, elected at the winter board meeting, are John H. Niemeyer, president of Bank Street College of Education in New York City, and Lee H. Bristol Jr., former president of Westminster Choir C ollege, Princeton, N.J. Bristol is currently e xe c u t i ve s e c r e tary of the E p i s c o pa l Church 's Joint Co1&1mission on Church Music.

a partner in Earl Newsom & Co., the New York public relations firm? and the :resignation of Robert A. Kerr, president of the Winters National Bank & Trust Co., Dayton, Ohio. Niemeyer, a 1930 graduate of Hamilton, served as an alumnus trustee of the College from 1964 to 1970.

Advisor Selection System Undergoes Improvements

BY ROBERT J. KEREN T h e F r e sh m a n A d v i s o r Selection System i s undergoing a few important changes to obtain a more objective review of the can<\idates. Henry H. Melchor '71, Co-head Advisor said "This year we are going to try, in all ways reasonable, to take care of some of the· complaints we have heard. in the past." According to Melchor, the first step in choosing advisors has always been a review of all applicants by the Dean's Office, and the elimination of a few men whose· -academic or disciplinary standing is not · satisfactory. Associate Dean Hadley S. DePuy stated that "there is no minimum average requirement," although "the , men whose· grades would suffer from an advisor's position will be eliminated." There will be no major changes in this phase of advisor selectfon. The s e c o nd step is the i n t e r v i e w i n g of r e m a i n i ng c a n d i d a t es by t h e present advisors. Melchor pointed out that this is the controversial part of the process since "certain groups of advisors may be biased toward o n e applicant or may have positive1 or negative opinions ah:eady formed." Rather than splitting up the fifteen current adyisors into two interviewing groups, the new arrangement provides for three smaller interviewing groups so that "every body can get a more personal · interview." Melchor added that ''more time will be spent on each person-- no one will be ·rushed." Some advisors suggested that the applicants should be allowed to pick which particular group they wish to be interviewed by

THE- SPECTATOR

FEBRUARY 12, 1971

E:di1toriais IT'S OVER To the merriment of some and the distress of others, rushing is now two days old. Some are saying: "The dirty deed has been done yet another year." Others, quite less critical, sing the praises of the freshmen that have joined their houses. For a while the hard facts of rushing 1971 will be ignored. However, once we all become tired of our respective comments about rushing, and once the freshmen and the upperclassmen have recovered from their week long endeavor, all would be well advised to consider the wider implications of rushing 1971. We have all heard that fraternity interest is declining. Last week, interest in fraternities declined by twice as much as it declined a year ago. Hamilton's students �an no longer continue to avoid dealing with the problems that declining interest m frat ernities will b r i ng. For some fraternities, serious financial distress will continue to threaten their future with increased gravity. And yet the only reaction to imminent danger since interest began to decline, has been an unrealistic trust, even hope, that things would be corrected the following year. Financial difficulties can bring nothing other than unacceptable living conditions in the fraternities. The college clearly will not tolerate this. And the hope that more pledges will be secured the next time around will not begin to solve the problems. All indications point to fraternities continuing as an option in residential living, as long as they can remain financially solvent and physically sound institutions. Regardless of the success ( or lack of it) experienced by individual houses in this last rushing period, each house must at once vigorously recognize and examine the scope and depth of the problems in their future. They must begin to take steps for their correction. The alternative will be a solution imposed on those concerned by the faculty. Not only will this solution probably be drastic, but it will respond to the wishes of few and please even fewer.

.AD-VISORS

We need freshman advisors, not Dunham advisors; advisors could easily serve their functions from other dormitories. The Advisor System also points to some important .financial questions. Hamilton needs to look for ways to save money and redistribute ·its present outlays more effectively. Advisors receive room and half their board free - about $825 per advisor - $11,550 for 14 · advisors. Is the service provided by these altruistic individuals so 'unique and demanding that they deserve so much compensation? $11,550 is a great deal of money to spend for Dunham patrolmen. In the very least, scholarship students should be given priority for this sum; wealthy boys do not need $825 so badly. We are pleased that the advisors examine their structure with regularity. We only wish that the evaluation of the institution be more comprehensive.

BOARD Thro�ghout the first semester, the Senate has tried in vain to get the College t o eliminate the s t udent board requirement. Several students have asked the College to allow them to provide for their own meals, finding Service Systems and fraternity dining unattractive. It was · not until the administration discovered that a p p'r o x i m a t el y fifteen H a m il to n upperclassmen were not paying anyone a board bill and were providing for their own meals that it decided to consider the Senate recommendation. At the open meeting ·ot the President's Advisory Committee· Tuesday night, the board requirement issue will.be one of the dis �ussion topics. Students who are

At our last meeting, it was the consensus of the Senate that an effort should be made to more fully inform students of actions which the Senate has taken and is taking to improve things on the hill. We felt that we have been more effective than most people r e a l i z e , and that our effectiveness stemmed not only from confrontation with, but co-operation from the administration. I hope this column provides such a review. Last May, a poll was taken to assess students and faculty reaction to the new library. Partially as a result of this poll, the exterior of the building will be modified to be more aesthetically pleasing and to exude less of a gas-station-like appearance. Early in September,a letter was sent to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees describing the need for non-paying telephones in the dormitories. A Centrex telephone system has been approved and will be implemented next year. We formed a Student Housing Committee to alleviate overcrowding problems and look into the possibility of off-campus .­ housing. As a result, three fraternities now in Bundy will be rebated appro:xirnately $4000 for overcrowding inconveniences, the students housed in Bristol were charged only $1 per day instead of the regular college room rate� and there is a high likelihood that 45 students will be given the opportunity to live in the Griffin Road apartments beginning pext fall. During January, the Senate requested responsibility for rooming assignments. A three-point compromise was worked out so that: first, the Housing Committee and Mr. Grout will together establish the criteria for rooming assign ment; secondly, they shall together assign the rooms during the academic year; and, thirdly, the Housing Committee will meet with the Student Life Committee to discuss social-residential patterns and hold a joint open meeting of the college on the subject before the Spring Recess. In the area of board, w_e set up the Boards of Stewards to help prevent Service Systems from repeating the "successes" of Saga. At the request of the Commons Board of Stewards ,. vending machines were placed in Commons. The Senate also requested that the board requirement be abolished, and that there be an itemized accounting of what happens to revenue from student board bills. We are still discussing the require�ent, but have assurances that the itemized_,.­ accounting will he _given to us when the college budget is finalized by the Trustees in April. We saved the Senate $2600. by demanding that the college recognize responsibilities for capital purchases for the theatre and for academic expenditures. No lQnger do the Charlatans receive more than 33% of the Senate budget; however, total theatre program expenditures have increased because of both colleges' additional financial support. The Curriculum Committee of the Senate will shortly be distributing'a booklet evaluating Hamilton courses. Alan Braverman, Don Bauer, Peter Spellane, and Bill Delaney have worked very hard on this project and their booklet is excellent. With regard to the curriculum itself, the Senate ·approved several pass-fail proposals and met with the Academic Policy Committee. No changes can be made until the Committee has re-evaluated the 4-1-4 this semester. The Senate did request that money be made available to support those Independent January projects �hich the college sponsors (e.g. London theatre). Vice-President Carter has said such money will be made available, though not in the form of a tuition rebate. We wrote to President Chandler about the placement function of the college. We suggested that a booklet of resumes be sent to our 32 alumni associations. With the- help of Messrs. Wertz and Woodin this will be ready for the publisher by Feb. 20. We have also been ass'ured that shortly Hamilton-Kirkland will have a person whose sole duty will be in the placement area. To more effectively involve students in the admission process of the college, the Student Admission Committee of the Senate and the Admission Office have set up a system whereby each sub-freshman is now �terviewed by an admission officer and then by a student. The Senate established a Llbrary Committee to update our curTent stock by soliciting faculty members for lists of needed books and periodicals. This project was delayed during the fall, but Ed Kmmadt and Bob Bernstock will complete this project this semester. To improve communication channels, three students were appointed to each of four trustee committees - development of resources, planning, student affairs, and honorary degrees. In addition, we have strong assurances that every effort will be made to select a recent alumnus for the Board this Spring. On the hill, the Senate formed an Executive Committee to discuss Senate decisions with the faculty and administration enabling us to more forcefully channel our 4cmands. We also-consolidated-the Bristol, Bookstore, and Pub committees into the Auxiliary Services Committee because all three dealt with auxiliary services. In addition, President Chandler has recogniz�d the need for a greater Senate voi�e on next year's PAC. Regarding the bookstore operation, Mrs. Cameron has off�ed to train two students so that they may aid the store and benefit from employment during peak, demand periods. Also� the Ad Hoc Bookstore_ ,!eport is, almost completed.

Lastly. in response to a, Senate recommendation, the college is now asseuing the cost of furnishing Kirkland Lounge, and something will be done wiih the room. I hope that this review gives everyone a clearer idea of what the Senate has been doing this year because, surprisingly enough, it has ,,been doing things. Steve Baker

Review Continued from Page 4 whi�h destroys the comic tension which should be built up for th� intentionally funny lines. When the line comes, there is no release, and hence much of the humor is lost. The laughs that worked best were those that did not require an ensemble build to come off. Lack of stage experience, inevitable in a performance the cast of which is made up exclusively of freshmen, p r obably contributed to the · problem. Mr. Harper's direction of the actors' physical movements retrieved much of the humor which was lost to poor timing of lines. From beginning to end, the physicalization and blocking were stylized yet imaginative. When the movements were unnatural, it was usually the acting and not the directing, but most of the actors w e r e e xc el l ent char acte r s physically even when they missed w i t h t h e d i a l o g ue. The performance of Jim Kennedy and Cynthia Price stand out as the m o s t e f f e c t i v e p h y si c al characterizations, but there were m a n y e n j o ya b l e physical performances which reflected Mr. Harper's excellent direction of stage movement. If any serious fault can be found with the direction of the play, it is with the casting. Some roles in The Servant of Two Masters were played by actors who, because of individual characteristics and mannerisms, were exactly the wrong type. Of course, this can provide some humor not originally written into the part. The audience was not

"The Three Sisters" to be performed again tomorrow at 8:00 fooled, however, but embarassed, even if they were laughing, and a disservice is done to the actors who have to realize that they were often not being laughed with. There is nothing legitimately funny about an actor in' the wrong role. If Woody Allen is funny, it is not because he is unable to play the suave leading mari, but tries anyway. He is funny because he is able to play it, despite his physical limitations. One of the most encouraging aspects of the production was that so many people participat�d in it. The class of '74 apparently· has a great. number of people who are interested in theater, and has a l r eady provided talent and technical experience for exceeding any incoming class in the last three years. The qualified success of The Servant of Two Masters with a freshman cast and crew wffl hopefully induce a ·good number

of freshmen to continue in theater here and realize some of the potential hey have shown. The failures of The Servant of Two Masters were not devastating, and the successes were encouraging. Mr. Harper is to be complimented for the concept of a freshmen play, as well as his direction of this one.

According to the dictionary, however, this is not the difinition of "majority." Also discussed at the Assembly Meeting was the severe decrease in the number of paid applications to Kirkland College. As of February 8, there were 320 such applications and 180 places in next year's freshman class. Since 50 per cent more acceptances are sent than there are places available, theoretically, if the figures remain the same, a total of only fifty rejections will be mailed.

THE HONOR CODE AMENDMENT The Student body last semester voted to amend the Honor System Constitution's Article 4, Section 2, to give the Honor Court more freedom in determining a penalty for fraud. Article 4, Section 2, now reads: In the case of a conviction, by the committee, the penalty (for fraud in examination by any member of the College) shall be determined under the following regulations: I. For the first offense the committee may recommend to the faculty a failure (F or FF) in the course. 2. For the second offense the committee may recommend to the faculty either suspension or expulsion from the College. It has come to the attention of the committee that the wording of the amendment as stated above has obscured somewhat the amendment's intention. By using the word "may" the Honor Court qoes not wish to imply that is "may or may not" give a penalty. To carry the same intention as the.above amendment - this time a little more explicitly - the committee asks that you vote in Chapel on a revision of this amendment, to read: In the case of a conviction, the committee shall recommend a penalty commensurate with the seriousness of the offense. For a first offense, the penalty shall not be harsher than a failure in the course. For a second offense, the penalty may be suspension or expulsion from the College.

Women Under-Repre_sented in Upper Levels Washington, D.c: (CPS) -- Despite claims by most college and universities that they include women in top-level administrative positions, women administrators seldom have major policy-making responsibilities, according to' a survey the by conducted of A s s o ciation American University Women. also a r e W o m e n under-represented in top-level faculty positions and in influential survey the offices, student disclosed, although 90 per cent of

Of those, U� per cent had women student-body pr�sidents in the three year period compared with 2 per cent at universities with enrollments over 10,000. About 22 per cent of the nation's faculty members were women, according to the survey, but the proportion of women at various faculty levels decreases with rank. Nine per cent of the country's faculty women were full professors, compared with 24.5 per cent of the faculty men. There was an average of 2.6 female department chairmen at the colleges in survey. However, 34 institutions reported no female department chairmen at all.

New Studeflt. Action Group Seeks Three Way Reform BY ROY SCHECTER It may come as a welcome relief to many of those students w ho have thought that the Hamilton campus has been a singularly inactive one this year, to learn that a new and very enthusiastic activist group of Kirkland and Hamilton students has been formed. The group advocates reform in three areas: Voter registration, the lettuce boycott, and draft counseling. "There are still things wrong in this country, " said group member Sandy Harris. "The student strike of last May was a failure, because we are still in Cambodia, and now the war has escalated into Laos." According to Harris, the group considers the· dissemination of voter registration inform:ition an imQortant venture. The group plans to get people "hip " to what the residency requirements and deadlines are for the new, 1 g-20 year old group of voters. Harris. pointed out that some people in the group and many others on this campus are "really up on politics" and could inform other students. Two or three girls, according to _ Harris, have been in contact with the League of Women Voters in U t i c a . H a;r is f eels t hat r e p r esentatives from t hat organization should come to the Hill to talk about registration, particularly since the .organization has so many out-of-state branches. I n this rega rd, Kirkland students will counsel 1 S-year-olds at high schools in Clinton and Utica. T h e gr oup is also considering issuing pamphlets from the League of Women Voters. Another step in this campaign involves the establishment of a voter registration information "center", located "probably at Bristol", where pamphlets could be d i s t r i b uted and advisors sought. The group's second project deals with the lettuce boycott, involving union lettuce pickers and non-union lettuce pickers. A cc o r d i ng t o H a r r i s , t h e non-union memebers who get lower ("indecent") wages do not have proper sanitation facilities on the job and are ignorant of the occµpational hazards of their work, which i nclude toxic chemicals and insecticides. Like the grape pickers, such workers a r e "just generall y taken advantage of."

College Students Set Up Coed Dorm Arrangements BY BRUCE WILLIAMS A group of Hamilton and Kirkland students have formed a committee to establish a plan for the development of coed housing at the two colleges. The group consists of twenty students, mostly freshmen. Committee members met last · Saturday with Hamilton Associate Dean Hadley S. DePuy and Dean James Lyons, VIs1ting from Haverford College. Haverford has just completed a successful experiment in coed housing with Bryn Mawr College. Martin J. Hutchinson '7 4, a member of the committee, said that he felt optimistic after the meeting and that Dean DePuy seemed enthusiastic about the idea.The committee has drawn up a petition form that will be brought door-to-0.oor throughout the colleges to insure maximum response. It is felt that an even exchange of students must be worked out between · the two colleges so that a coed dorm could be established at each school. Hutchinson mentioned the p�ssibility of using the Theta Delta Xi house for coed housing. He said that the fraternity is in danger of closing down and that if that happened the college would

probably gain possession of the building. The committee feels that the house might be converted into a dorm that would permit a co-educational co-operative set-up for around twenty students. In this way, the students would be permitted to go off the college board plan and prepare their own meals. At the President's Advisory Committee meeting this week, a proposal was made to use the Griffin Road apartments as coed dorms. The apartments were originally intended to be used as faculty housing. This proposal aids the committee in achieving its aim· of establishing as n1.i,·1y alternative living arrangements as oossible. Spend an unforgettable

means of communication between the Assembly and the community, between the students and faculty and administration, and between the two colleges. The recent confusion and lack of information about the election of committee members and a referendum could possibly have been avoided if. the Spectator had been effectively used. Stand-up announcements in McEwen and notices tacked up under Ski-Trip posters on stairwells are improper methods of executing elections and college governance. We not only want Kirkland money for the Spectator; we need it. We do not need Kirkland reporters and editors, but we do very much want Kirkland smdents to work on the Spectator because we want a coordinate newspaper.

The Kirkland .t\ssembly has approved the Joint Publications Board Constitution and after two-and-a-half years, ·the Spectator is, in theory, a joint publication; however, in fact, the Spectator is still a Hamilton newspaper. Changing the name from the Hamilton Spectator to the Spectator of Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges does not make the newspaper a coordinate venture. Restructuring the Publications Board, the publisher of the Spectator, to include Kirkland representation does guarantee a joint student newspaper. No matter how hard the Publications Board tries to make the Spectator look like a coordinate newspaper, unless Kirkland students are willing to work for and edit the newspaper, the Spectator will still be a Hamilton For the last few weeks, coeducational dorms publication.

... carefully resolve them. Most of the students militantly in favor of coed dorms want neighbors of the opposite sex tomorrow. Many feel that the necessary room changes to· convert dorms into coeducational units should take place without delay, and that any attendant difficulties be dealt with in the future. We would observe that this is the type of mentality that involves nations in "Vietnams." Hamilton and Kirkland are fortunate to be in agreement with the principle of coeducational dormitories. This basic agreement has advanced the resolution of any problems that would precede fulfillment of coed dorms. We can only favor coed dorms and all of the benefits that will accompany them. We only ask that both the administration and the students correct the unsavory characteristics of their respective positions that we all may begin to benefit from a new and desireable alternative in living styles on college hill in as short a time as advisable.

Budget Hamilton-Kirkland the of M embers Community should be careful not to misinterpret the nature of the half-million dollar ioan Hamilton has agreed to extend to Kirkland. It is a loan_ with interest accrued; neither Hamliton nor Kirkland considers the cash-flow-transfer as a grant. Hamilton has merely reiterated its commitment to the continuance of Kirkland as a coordinate college. As administrators at both institutions continue to look for areas where expenditures can be reduced, we hope that they will take a long hard look at administrative budgets. Various student services now being performed separately by each college could be combined and performed jointly at considerable savings and probably with greater effectiveness and efficiency. At present, each college has separate registrars, separate directors of housing, separate --­ admissions offices, and both are talking about separate placement offices. Most, if not all, of these services coulq be combined without detracting greatly from the identities of two separate institutions. We understand why coordinate colleges must have separate presidents, deans, and faculty, for two institutions as diverse as Hamilton and Kirkland must have their own institutional and academic philosophies. In the area of student services however, there are no philosophies, only policies. Each institution could have its own policy, yet still coordinate administration of these policies, for student service administrators do not establish policy, they merely administer it. There is no reason why one administrator �-.., could not carry out the separate policies of two institutions.

Humor Issue The much talked about humor issue of the Spectator which was scheduled to come out next weekend has run into problems. Various members of the Publications Board, the publisher of the Spectator and thus of the humor issue, have raised objections to the cost and format of the issue. Publication of the issue in its planned format next weekend is unlikely. At any rate, there will not be a regular issue of the Spectator next Friday. The next scheduled issue of the Spectator will appear on March 5.

Blues Weekend to Feature Lipscomb, Johnson, Fahey BY JOHN HUTCHINSON The past decade has witnessed a revival and rediscovery of old-time black country blues. Classic Thirties bluesmen are being "discovered" and sought after to perform at places like the Berkeley Blues Festival and the Ann Arbor Blues Festival at the University of Michigan. Well, the blues are finally coming to The Student Clinton. Entertainment Committee will present Blues Weekend, on Feb. 26,27, and 28. The SEC has been able to bring together a collection of the finest living country blues artists. Friday night's concert will include the Rev. Gary Davis,John Fahey, and "Fast and Funky" Larry Johnson. On Saturday night, Blues Weekend will continue with the Luther Allison Blues Band, the Rev. Gary Davis once �gain, and the great Mance Lipscomb, whom blues fans put in a class with bluesmen like Leadbelly and Mississippi John Hurt. Both of these concerts will take place in the Hamilton College Chapel at S:00 p.m.. One ticket will be good for both nights. Ticket prices will be $1.00 with Social Tax, $3.50 without. The SEC also plans a jam session in the Coffee House on Sunday afternoon. These p erlormers may seem largely unknown to folk-rock fans on the Hill. However, all of these people are widely i:.ecognized as the best in blues. For instance, when describing Larry Johnson and his recently Blue Goose album, Fast and Funky"Rolling Stone" magazine said the following:" ...Johnson has the advantage of his youth, his fine multi-colored voice and his amazing punctuation-like guitar

Skillfully Interprets Beethoven's Work transformed in Beethoven's hand into a dramatic vehicle for his incredible ingenuity. Although Diabelli 's theme is somewhat monotonous, based on just two intervals, Beethoven ingeniously varies it in virtually every rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic way conceivable. The variations contain many of the dynamic and harmonic contrasts of the later Romantics who Beethoven foreshadowed and surpassed. Peltzer recognized this fact and gave a performance which emphasized these contrasts. He played the first variation very powerfully, but made an even deeper impression with his handling of the more tender section.

Peltzer Performs Diabelli - Variations; BY RICHARD KAVESH Pianist Dwight. -Peltzer gave a ,._..powerful performance of Ludwig van B eethoven's Diabelli Variations in a Chapel recital on Wednesday night. Beethoven's mighty piece poses ,a challenge to every pianist, and Peltzer met the challenge successfully. He gave an intenc;e performance, dramatic in the powerful sections and often beautiful in the lyrical ones. The Diabelli Variations were composed by Beethoven at the same time in which he was working on his Ninth Symphony and Missa Solemnis. The dramatic force of these orchestral and choral works is present in these piano vanatlons, as are The Master's amazing creative powers.

BY Ai.AN BRYCE When Stanislavski directed the original production of The Three 1901, in Chekhov Sisters bombarded him with notes full of additions, alterations and little pieces of business. ''These little diamonds he sent us," said Stanislavski, "when studied in rehearsals, put life into the action in an unusual degree and brought the actors closer to the truth of what they were experiencing. .., It is just too much to expect such diamonds from actors scarcely accustomed to the stage, let alone u na cquainted actors with Stanislavski's method; and yet, such are the gems that are essential successful a to production of one of Chekhov's later plays. The Three Sisters is very difficult for an audience. In this late play of Chekhov, st.age action dwindled from the broad comedic physicalization of his early one-acters, such as The Proposal, to psychological action. The fragmented dialogue is really only a superficial shell - what moves the play is underneath: the driving in tensity of thr�e Russian women, their I o v ers a nd their acquaintances. The banality of provincial existence is, as Ernest Simon says, merely a cover, which, when pulled away, reveals "the ultimate values of life which stir, and yet so often evade these characters." The r ecent production of this play in the Minor Theater never really got easily-played beyond this banality, and it is rather wishful to imagine that it ever-could. We never say Baron Toozebach's assumed "revolutionary fervour" to "sweep the ·world clean of indifference and l az iness, prejudice against work," and therefore missed entirely the irony of his attachment to Irena. Vershinin had no passion, neither amorous nor artistic nor even social; rather, he was presented as a shallow, albeit articulate individual. s y mpathetic Two' very performances were given by William and Allen Walter H utchison, . w h o p l ayed Koolyghin, Masha's husband, and Ferapont, the old man.

I doubted the validity of a Russian peasant bearing an Afro-haircut, and I was to see a mazed equally Chebutykin's hair turn from jet black to iron - grey over the intermission, when there seemed no justification for his aging so sharply. Furthermore, when Chebutykin was drunk, he just did not look it. Walter Clay therefore did not ·convey the pity of the Doctor's return to the bottle. These may seem very small things, but they are what an audience notices. This lack of attention to detail is my ·main criticism of the direction of the play. This is not to say that the performances were lethargic. In a sense the cast was full of vibrant energy, but the focus of all that energy was awry. The actors' aim was far too low. Jill Maynard, as Masha, for instance, gave the most interesting portrayal of the evening, but after her cyructsm and senSJtIVIty had been established in the first act there was little or no emotional growth. Irena, played by Trina Schurenstedt, was charming, but

she too was underdev<;loped. When she finally rejected the "Mascow ideal" we didn't see the new Irena that such a metamorphosis inevitably brings about, we only saw the old Irena feeling ·melancholy. Elizabeth Horwitt's Olga was never really established. I was not clear as to her motives - as to what she really wanted. Questions such as, Is she dutiful instinctively or by choice? were not answered. Steve Flores played Soliony with considerable ease, but he allowed the lines to present us with his dual personality, instead of showing us himself. The good friend in private, the acid-tongued conversationalist in public, his scorn did not seem integral to his nature, as it should be, but merely something adopted at will. Greg Anthony as Vershinin was clear and military, but, as I said, lacking in passi�>n and real feeling. What was it that moved this man? I couldn't tell. Andrey, the brother, and Natasha, his wife, were played by Matthew Schaeffer and Zivia Flomenhaft. Matthew tried very his to communicate hard repressed knowledge of Natasha's incintinency, although, to quote a ·textbook of the theater, he told and did not show us. The characterization of Natasha seemed to be on the right track, as was Irena, but was always tantalizingly below what we really expected of her. John Gillick staged the production in the round, which, though it was ambitious, was really quite successful and visually pleasing (if you were seated high on one of the platforms). Technically, if it need be mentioned, the play was efficient and successful. - However, I think that actors �d firector alike would agree with me that among many things this they l earned from production, (which, by the way, was a WSP,) was the meaning of the old platitude: FIRST THINGS FIRST.

The presence of a relatively small number of Kirkland women on the Hamilton campus and, conversely, a small number of Hamilton men on the Kirkland campus would not preclude the separate workings of student governments, of departmental decisions, of core courses, of administration policies, of grading, and of admissions.

Some attendants at the meeting felt that the basic problem in instituting a coed living situation stems from Gordon Kaye, Representing Student Committee for Coed Housing the relationship of Hamilton and Kirkland as coordinate colleges rather than as one coeducational school. It was _ argued that Hamilton and Kirkland, philosophically and publicly, should maintain their separate identities, and that coed dorms would · somehow undermine their autonomy.

Drugs To the Editor: As a member of the Kirkland College Drug Policy Committee for the past two years, I would like to comment upon recent discussions of the drug issue in the Spectator.

, First, the Spectator has a tendency to confuse the views and statements of Mr. Tibbets with official committee policy. This is incorrect, since he is only one member of the committee, and not its chairman. So, I will clearly state that the following position does not necessarily represent committee policy. In fact it generally reflects a minority of one.

Specifically I agree th,..at the Committee at Kirkland could have been more vigorous in developing positive remedies, such as the "crash pad" etc. and I share this responsibility. However, the issue is much more delicate than the Spectator seems to realize. It is easy to make pompous pr.onouncements about "concern for students�• on one side of the mouth and to toss them out of college with the other. (Is this the Spectator's definition of legal responsibility?) It is much harder to steer a sensible course between all of the pressures (from parents, trustees, the law, truth, etc.) which surround this · volatile issue. Perhaps Kirkland's failure to follow the Hamilton model here

represents an attempt to follow such a course. In this respect, I have been maintaining, that the College is m>t a law enforcement agency. Somewhere I have heard that it's primary purpo�e is education. I 'can think of millions of more beautiful ways for the students (and faculty) to spend their time, than to sit, oozing seriousness, as they weigh the fate of their peers. I know the argument about a stiff policy "protecting students from the state police." This is ridiculous. If the police are going to bU5t, they are going to bust. They don't give a damn about our silly poEcy. (I'm sure it's so fudged through with academic qualifications, that they couldn't understand it anyway.) The only

thing that might impress troopers is if legions of students were actually tossed out of school. And we can't be sure that even this would make any difference. (Besides students are becoming harder to find these days.) Furthermore, the practice of state police interference on college policy is highly invidious. Are we going to start sending in their for syllabuses course approval too? Another ploy is that drug use interferes with studies; therefore we need college laws agaimt drugs. This is, of course, clearly irrelevant. There are already plenty of existing sanctions for academic failure. Following this line of argument we also need laws against sour love affairs,

alcohol, Frisbee, punning etc. If the only means of insuring that students will not stray from their studies is to effect tyrannical laws that infringe on their personal lives, then we are really in sad 8hape. Maybe the energy expended in playing narc could be used instead to create more stimulating courses? People seem to wond�r why, when faced with other drug problems, students hesitate to go to the College Health Center. I believe that Drs. Roe and Muilenberg are making a sincere and intelligent effort to cope with this issue. However, in student eyes they are still part of the And "a d min i s t r a t i o n ." Continued on Page 7.

Athlete of --the Week All-American captain Mike Thomas has been a student performer for the Hamilton hockey team for four years. Leading the team last year with an amazing 2.45 points per game average, Mike has established himself as a Division II scoring leader. This year, ·with 29 points in sixteen games, Mike has continued to display his .fine talents, and pace the Continental offense. Against the Lord Jeffs of Amhurst was no exception. Shocked by the fine play of the Amhurst squad, Hamilton gained the lead only after a )ate offensive thrust spearheaded by the Thomas line. On four picture plays, Mike combined with Greg Batt for three tallies, and managed to score one himself to clinch the 9-6 win. He is without a doubt, one of Hamilton's finest players.

Last Saturday night the Hamilton Continental basketball team suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of Upsala College. It was a quick-moving, hard-fought game which found Hamilton jumping off to a quick seven point lead as they hit on their first five baskets. Upsala however, put on a surge to take the lead by one point after 10 minutes of play. Junior Mike Scott was the major factor behind Hamilton's fast start, as he tickled the twine for a hot 1 7 points in the first half. His hot hand was not quite enough though as Hamilton found themselves down by six points, 45-39 at the half. The second half was similar to the first half as no team found themselves with a commanding lead. Hamilton was unable to pull ahead as they we.re plagued by inopportune turnovers. Upsala used its height to an advantage as they repeatedly grabbed offensive rebounds and layed them -up for uncontested baskets. Going into the final two minutes Hamilton cut Upsala's lead of nine points down to four and started to gain some momentum. However, Ernie Found fouled out and Ernie Kitchen sustained a cut eye and thus the Continentals found themselves without the services of their big men. With these two players out Hamilton was unable to do much more damage to Upsala's lead and at the buzzer found themselves at the losing end of a 86-77 score. This was a disappointing loss for the Continentals. Despite their continued efforts throughout the game they were just not able to put it all together. Mike Scott was the big reason behind Hamilton's fine showing as he pumped in 30 for the team's scoring record while bringing his own average up to 18.3 points per game. Freshman Ernie Found also played well as he was second high scorer with 16 points while also grabbing 14 rebounds.

Then Bob O'Connor, sophomore center of the third line, took a pass from wing Steve Malcolm and came in all alone. He shot, the goalie made a fine save, but Malcolm picked - up the rebound and netted the score which tied the 'game. A moment later, ihowever, at 19:57, Macay capitalized on a defensive lapse, stole the puck again for Amherst, deked sRoot, .and netted the tie-breaking tally. The period closed with the score 4-3. The second period opened with the action fast and furious. At 4:3g, on a perfect set up fron:i junior wing Mike White, Bob .O'Connor fired the disk off the far post to tie the score again. It was a

of Greg Batt and Mike Thomas once again staved off a defeat. In, less than a minute, at 14:53 and 15:26, both Thomas and Batt had scored. sThen later, in the third period, Batt scored two more, for the "har trick", both coming on set ups by Thomas. To round out the scoring, Janes netted his third of the day. In summary, the game was hard fought, and much credit must go to the Amherst squad. Once again, however, an offensive explosion of five consecutive goals in the last twenty five minutes of play insured the victory. Thomas, Batt, and Janes excelled, and with seven v i c t o r i e s i n eight g ames , tournament hopes are still very much alive. The upcoming games against Connecticut this weekend, and University of Massachusetts next weekend will be crucial.

Though Miss Walker says, "I'm always resigning", the College has been searc�•- g for a replacement" and has l'la-sed an advertisement in the Nt v York Times. Why is Miss Walker leaving? "It's not because I don't love Kirkla_nd - I'm just worn out." She loved the job when it began, and still likes it, but it's simply too tiring. In the fall it requires living out of a suitcase and constant travel; it's always a six day week. Miss Walker simply explained that, "Y ou get emotionally involved." Each of

her i nt er v iews is a t otal concentration upon an individual for an .entire hour, and five or six interviews is a long day. This year has been especially intense. Applications to colleges are way down because of the poor financial situation, and applicants are not travelling far. Trying to e s t a b l ish a l a r g e enough applications pool has entailed projects such as mailing out information to all National Merit Semifinalists. For the first time, Miss Walker has been receiving letters from girls who simply could not apply because ·of financial reasons.

I have always felt that the employment of the destruction of property as a political vehicle tends to inhibit, rather than foster, one's particular interests. Unfortunately, it is apparent that some of the women on our campus do not share my opinion. It is true that the painting · of "Liberte, Egalite, sororite, OUI" on the wall of Kirkland Cottage did bring attention to the Women's Liberation Movement, as well as to perhaps point out the dissatisfaction of a certain portion o( the community with the Humor Issue· of the Spectator. However, I do no feel that this is the kind of publicity which we, as women, truly desire. Somehow the incident smacks a bit of immaturity. There are other means which would gain the same attention and yet which, at the same time, would not be destructive. For example, why not hang a huge sign over Bristol? The only reaction to the act of painting the cottage on the part of the men I know was that of, in effect, "Those damn chicks." That doesn't serve to accomplish much, does it? If the Women's Liberation Movement is going to be in any way successful on the Hamilton-Kirkland campus, it must have the respect of the community. It must be considered a serious, sincere venture, rather than a half-baked "cause". We, as women, must demonstrate the qualities which we profess to have. We must not allow ourselves to be lowered to the level of those whom we fight. Susan Bell '72

Daedulus is a joint effort by Hamilton and Kirkland students to, in the words of Gina Werfel, '73, one of the movements leaders, "increase the sense of the arts within the community." Daedulus will provide �eaters opportunity for students on the Hill to exhibit their work, and, to learn about and experience all of the fine arts more immediately · and vividly. The effort· hopes to incorporate not only students, but faculty, and artists outside the colleges.

Four of Hamilton's artists have their work on exhibit in the Bristol Campus Center. Two seniors, Roman Tybinko and Randy Chapnick, present us with some of their works completed over the four years they have Hamilton. at spent Cecil Middleton, a sophomore, exhibits a selection of his works done in the past year and one half. Bill Pattengill, a graduate of Ham Coll, is also represented in the show. All are different and embody styles in their definite experimentation with various media. Roman Tybinko's works, done in oil, acrylics and in pencil, are, in my mind, superb and very professional. He has a definite style, although he varies from it in a few of his paintings, and I believe carries lt out very successfully. He focuses primarily !!. on two themes, people and forest a. scenes, his people holding � o bviously the more important ro le. He depicts, on the most part, old people who sit or lie asleep or who sit reading or sewing. In two of his paintings he plays with s - � what appears to be Van Gogh's style of vibration and distortion. In others he captures successfully t the personality of Ezra Pound and of his mother which are s olid and realistic. His colors are warm and .Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, subdued, and compliment his the ·National Gallery of -Modern depictio n of human beings.

The Root Art, Center is presenting the first U.S. showing of the works of Dennis sLukas entitled "Monotypes . and other Recent Works". Lukas is a· young Canadian artist whose· paintings have been exhibited to great acclaim in · Canada, Europe and India. Hamilt o n Art C o l l e ge Department Chairman Rand Carter, a member of the Center's Exhibition Committee, said, "We are very pleased to be the first in this s:;ountry to show Lukas' works." Ca rter continued, "He combines two seemingly disparate influences, the Oriental and that of Canadian landscape painting, in his %-rraphic works and painting.

He has exhibited in France, Spain and India, as swell as :in Canada, and his work is represented in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the

Johnson Prize Plays Continued from Page 4. After an intermission, My Childhood With the Civil War, by Rick Nelson will be presented. Rick has already seen one of his plays, The Cantos of Oneonta Sue, produced several times at Hamilton and Kirkland, including this fall's Prize Play production. On February 21 there was a dramatic reading of a play he wrote last year called "Cowboy Passion". The last play of the evening will be Armageddon, by Garrett Hayner. The play is directed by the author. The plays will be done in the semi-round in the middle of the theater.. The stage will not be used, and the sets will be simple

and easily moveable. Rehearsals this week indicated that all four of the plays should be well worth seeing.

Gordon Lightfoot will appear in the college Gym, next Saturday evening, March 13, at 8:�0. The Student Entertainment­ Committee is sponsoring the performance with -funds saved from the Oelfonics concert which was cancelled February 12. Committee Chairman Josh Simpson '72 explained that Lightfoot was not chosen to represent a particular type of music, but was chosen as the most popular entertainer with the greatest drawing power of those available. Tickets are $2.50 with social tax and $4.00 withoui.' · , ·'

forest sscenes also lend off a feeling of tranquility and peace. Roman successfully reveals a section of forest in the morning and then again at dusb He plays with light and shadows and concentrates on depth. His sketches fit in with his overall theme for he portrays people, old men crouched over their beers at the "Rock" and people sitting, waiting at the Utica Bus Station. Roman's people are realistic and make his exhibit a solid one. Very .lifferent from Roman's people and landscapes, are Cecil Middleton's bizarre series of paintings and a set of collages and ink drawings. His oils are full of movement •.md ,>f social commentary. One of these is a portrait of a nude lady in which Cecil captures swinging motion as she twists at the waist. She sits up brooding a gainst dark a background. It's a very different and interesting approach to painting a model. Next he presents us with a stimulating collage done in oils which is a social comment. It is a collection of faces, landscapes, and objects. In the center there is a large head of an African woman, and beside it a gazelle which leaps up towards he.ads and faces of people, some laughing,· soine screaming, and some expressionless. In it also appear trucks, policemen, dead bodies and portions of airplanes. lt is very intriguing and one can spend a long time looking at it. Randy Chapnick's style is all together 'different from the first two. His oils are pop artish and hard-edged, as in the "Girl in the Workshirt". I very much liked the painting of his room "405 North" It presents the viewer with an orderly, peaceful room. Although shallow it is ;tranquil and nice to look at. He also .with various e xp e r i m en t s interpretations of the same plates, with collages using various nick-nacks and with sculpture instone. Bill Pattengill's paper collages are uniquely fine. His moods are strongly apparent through either unifying colors or through contrasting colors and shapes. All say something to you in a very subjective way. In some you see motion, �.urbulence and violence and in others you're given a feeling of peace. Some tell stories and others present ideas. A milky plastic telephone with a daisy in the middle of the dial juxtaposed against a city skyline shows the future of the telephone in Bill's mind. ! found the three dimensional effects achieved by putting different photographs in different places singularly amazing also. All four artists appear to have succeeded in what they set out to do. Through the depiction of people and nature, and through commenting on society in various different media, they present a very fine exhibit of what Hamilton art students (promising , young .arti�ts) ½an come up with . today.

Questionnaires sent through campus mail last year by Marcia Martin '71, received virtually no response, and Jo n es' questionnaires acheived a barely noticeable improvement this past semester. The purpose of the evaluations, which are to be filled out by all Kirkland students and returned through campus mail, is to give the Appointments Committee, a faculty committee chaired by Dean of Faculty Carl Schneider, additional information on which to base its decisions on the rehiring and firing of teachers. The Committee intended to weigh student opinion very heavily, however, so far, student opinion has been nonexistent. According to Jones, ''The evalustions provide students with an opportunity to express their about their ieelings true professors without fear of condemnation." Jones would like to see a faculty committee set up to read, evaluate, and present the evaluations in a suitable manner members faculty to the concerned. "In this way," she continued, ''professors would be given a chance to improve, having been mademade aware of the criticisms students have of them. A type of academic probation could preceed all firings� during which time, .the professor,

until the student body shows an interest. Because Jones is the only student involved, it is likely that no volume summarizing student evaluations will be published. Jones feels that "such a booklet would create unnecessary hostility between students and faculty, and unless other students organize such a project, the evaluations will be handled confidentially by a select group of faculty members."

The anti-monastics dissolution was the result of vitiation and .exhaustion after violently energetic sexual activity. Hamilton students said that the lecture did not express a value judgement of either of the colleges' philosophies nor -did it attempt to exclusively associate either of the colleges with either side. Several Kirkland students commented that the members of the Hamilton community had misinterpreted the lecture. Deliberate precautions were taken to communicate the futility of a restricted identification with either exclusive_ life style. The black · uni-s��- �ostuniing � the switching of role's in the battle dialogue, and the synthesis of the names of the _two schools were all methods used to _ thwart any rational attempt to, construe the lecture as a deliberate attack on either college.

"Playdoh". In one word, it was disgusting. First of all, the so-called humour was sickening, corny, and just plain out and out bad!!! Our attempt at humour was more than an ything else an insult to my intelligence. The cartoons were dead and sickeningly disgusting in content. The advertisement on the back an d the nude figure in the book I found revolting. I found this to'be an excellent indication of the moral degradation which white American youth have fallen into, an d an indication of the immorality of White America in general. Most of you call yourselves Christians, yet if the Holy Prophet Hazrat Jesus (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Him) were to return today and notice your behavior and way of thinking, he would be both sickened and shocked. I pray that in the future you will show more morality in your publications, and start printing· things of value and worth. Garbage like "flaydough" we can do without.

Hamilton Loses 3-2 to Mass· f From the Bench In Houseparty Hearthreaker

With this Winter sports season coming to a close the avid Hamilton sports follower can now look back on the various athletic events with both happiness and humility. Coach Eric MacDonald can not be lauded enough for amazing performances of his tankmen, undefeated iri the '70-'7 l season, with heralded victories over tough Rochester, Williams, and Cortland teams. Consistent performers such as Paul Crumrine, '71, Pete Schloerb, '73, Larry Bentley, '71, Bruce Rinker, '73, Chuck Mills, '72, and Hugh Sampson, '71, as well as the remaining talented swimmers, all have to be congratulated for the fine season. Hopefully, with the many stalwarts of his year returning next year, an equal record can be accomplished. But with happiness. comes bits of disappointment. Needless to say, Coach Murphy's squad had a rather unfortunate season, posting one victory against fifteen defeats. With injuries to Jack Withiam and the inability of the team to ever really get going, although playing an extremely tough schedule, praise has to be extended to the team for never giving up and always giving everything they had while on the court. With Mike Scott, Ernie Found, Mike Rocklein, Ron Roth and others returning next year, a better season is sure to be had. In hockey, with the prestigious loss to a strong U Mass squad and recent victories over Middlebury, Norwich, and Williams, who lately_ defeated highly ranked Merrimack, tourney hopes are still alive. The season is not yet over, and a tough Middlebury team is yet to be faced in the season finale. But with a victory, Hamilton could "sneak in the back-door" for the Division II playoffs. It could be a repeat performance of the 1967-1968 season, and things are looking better all the time.

The Wild Bunch

Hamilton Joins New Hockey Conference BY BRUCE WILLIAMS Although the hockey coaches at Amherst and Bowdoin have expressed unhappiness ' at the actions of Hamilton fans in Although the hockey coaches: at Amhearst and Bowdoin have expressed unhappiness at the actions of Hamilton fans in "the Pit," it is not believed that any scbeduling problems will result in the newly formed Continental · Conference. The Continental Conference is a group of eleven schools that have agreed to give each otl)er preference in the scheduling of athletic events. Associate Dean Hadley S. DePuy pointed out that no school is formally bound to the conference and could pull out at any time. DePuy feels, however, that none of the members would refuse to schedule Hamilton because of this year's incidents at thes Amherst and Middlebury games. At the Amherst game Hamilton fans directed obscenities at the Amherst skaters and one fari­ started a fight with an Amherst player. At the Middlebury game, held at Colgate, fans interferred

with Middlebury players in the penalty box, obstructed players from the stands during the game and one Hamilton spectator went out on the ice to join in a fight between the opposing teams. DePuy feels that one reason for Hamilton's reputation is the structure of the Sage Hockey Rink which makes opposing coaches and players feel as if they are, "...Christians being fed to the lions." The Bowdoin coach said he was not at all ao.xious to have team play in "the Pit." Dean DePuy feels that renovations in the rink would· perhaps make a difference. The school does not, however, have sufficient funds at this time if the change were deemed necessary. Hamilton has already been removed from the West Point schedule because of an incident at Hamilton two years ago. At that game Hamilton fans 'threw dead chickens and other garbage on the ice and spat on-the Army Cadets. Hamilton College has also severed athletic relations with Colgate University because of the actions of the.ir fans during a hockey game at Colgate.

The statement, originating with the Office and the Admissions Admissions Policy Committee, disclosed the lack of scholarship funds available for the incoming freshman class. Director of Financial Aid ' David. · W. Chapman said the present funds available for the Class of '75 amount to" only two-thirds of the funds available for the previous freshman class.

President Samuel F. Babbitt indicated that the F APC report would be relayed to the Trustees.

Of the $44,000 allotted for the Class of '75, $22,000 has been granted to fully-funded minori-t,y seven students. As the report reads, "Approximately $4,000 in aid has been given out to Early Decision leaving students, a d m i t ted $17,000 for the general class in April.

reason for the power failure was difficult to track down. The N i a g a.ra-M o hawk Lighting Company, who supplies power to this area, was first contacted.

environmental problems. For example, Clinton has no sanitary land fill or town-wide sewage system. Oriskany Creek has been polluted for twenty years by leaky septic tanks and farm run-off such as fertilizer and pesticides. One of the major tasks of the citizen's committee, which is made up of Kirkland residents, Hamilton faculty wives, and high school teachers, is to educate its fellow citizens to the dangers that the community is facing. This is being done through the column in the Courier, through speakers in the schools, adult education courses, and by an information center set up last September. Growing community interest broµght over 100 people to a recent town meeting· on ecology. A planning commission is working to improve the sewage system. Plans for the future include a recycling operation for the return of gl�ss bottles, and displays in local supermarkets rating products by their pollution content. A rally will be held next month for Earth Day. High school students will p·ut on an environmental fair. "Clinton is in a good position," says Oster.

Scholarships The lack of �cholarship aid for next year's fr�shman class imposes a threat to Kirkland's future. The apportionment of greater funds for this ai<;l should be among the college's highest priorities. The failure to attend to this immediate need will result in the lack of social and economic diversity in the college. With such a lack of diversity, Kirkland would become a school for the elite. . To finance the Class of '75, the college presently has only about two-thirds of the amount that it · used· to • aid last year's freshman class. This lack of scholarship­ funding will prevent many highly qualified students from attending Kirkland, and the admissions office has reported that the . academic- ·quality· of· the incoming · class could suffer. In a small community such as Kirkland, a heterogeneous group of students is necessary for the stimulation of ideas and feelings tha.t . lead to the growth of the community. The ongoing process of Kirkland's -gr"owth.:; wilf.be ·tnre-afened by stagnation if _ we fail to provide aid to qualified students. Whether through critical redistribution of the funds in the existing budget or through energetic solicitation of outside funding, the _Financial Aid office must be provided with enough money to more fully finance the mcommg freshman class. Student e.fforts to raise money will help the situation, but will probably not he able to raise enough money; other methods _must • be sought. Unless outside funds are found, cuts in other areas of the budget, 1 particularly in the auxiliary portion, should be made. It is necessary to respond to this need , immediately. High school students must finalize their college choice decisions soon, and scholarship offers will determine many of these decisions.

Coordination Coor.dination on the Spectator has taken pos1t1ve steps forward. The additional Kirkland students working on the staff have made great improvements, and Kirkland editors now write the . Kirkland-oriented editorials. Still, more students are needed on all levels to improve the q uali ty, imagina tion, and comprehensiveness of coverage. Hamilton students cannot· serve adequately as Kirkland editors or ,reporters.

It can be argued that the Humor Issue alienated the two, but such a situation cannot be corrected by misdirected criticism.

W B Johnson Plays Presented Four Plays Differ in Quality BY JOHN DIMARTINO On March 7, after only a month and a half of intensive preparation, four new one-act plays' were unveiled for the Johnson B r a d ley W al l ace Playwriting competition. The first presentation was Ralph Williams' Two Souls in Search of Hell. The primary technique employed by Mr. Williams in producing his .drama was theatre by insult. Through the use of effective monologue, sing-song poetry, and inept action, thoroughly the playwright insulted his audience from the outset of the play. Where was the dramatic reality in this work of art? Where were the real actors? The play, obviously well written, a p peared o ver d o ne and unchallenging when i t was subjected to the stagelights. Movements became unreal, dialogue banal, and insanity all, as the interaction between emotion and words produced a dramatic effect as interesting as a chemistry equation. Our two heroes in , search of Hell became either the modern stage equivalent of the Hardy Boys or two drunken friends invited to a cocktail party for Jean-Paul Sartre. Where was the urgency and dignity which drama demands? Alas, nowhere could it be found in this play where everything suffered oh so cleverly. Mr. Williams stated bluntly that "one gets to Hell by standi!}g still." Since this piece was motionless from .start to finish, the drama must be fit for Hell if nowhere else. The second play of the evening was Condolences by Ralph

Winter 'Comment' Scored; Lacks Editing, Direction

BY STEPHEN PASKOFF A rather thorough- study of the winter addition of Comment, Root-Jessup 's Public Affairs magazine reveals that the publication exhibits extreme weaknesses in the areas of editing and relevance and article constructuion. Quite hopefully, this issue can be dismissed as a poorly organized volume instead of a periodical accurately sampling the student body's ken of current and natio6al international events. For the most part, the articles to lack tended direction, organization and lucid comment. Fortunately, a few pieces rose above the issue's general level of mediocrity. outs tanding most The contribution, Bill Linehan's article on Ottinger's campaign -exhibited a solid structure with clearly defined hypotheses that were analyzed �n the writing. Tre topic

was clearly well understood by the author- a comment which must be made if one considers some of the other pieces in the issue. It is unfortunate, however, that Mr. Linehan was unable to delve more deeply into the subject material. While obviously meant to be a broad and limited survey, the writing presented would serve as an excellent grounding for more detailed research. A similar remark is also directed to Mr. Queen's article concerning the arguments for revolution that William Kunstler presented at Hamilton. The author logkally attacks Kunstler-'s evidence citing the need for rebellion i.e. the Fred· Hampton 1 murder and the K ent State and Jackson State incidents. However, Queen dismisses such actions as ju_st cause for revolt too quickly. While mentioning previous Chicago police encounters with the Panthers as possible reasons

for the Hampton slaying, he fails to note that such incidents are symbolic of the tensioi:is existing in our political system. His article while well constructed would certainly have been better presented in the form of a more extensive study. Mr. Mackay's article on Cuba was similarly well constructed and seemed to manifest a solid coupling. of empirical evidence with his analytic assumptions. Th e r e m a i n i ng five articles,however, failed to possess either developed and relevant commentary or suffered quite noticealby from organizational problems. Mr. Kr umeich's article concerning Spiro Agnew's rhetoric revealed nothing new about the Vice President's oratorical skills. Indeed the piece seemed to be a regurgitation comments of Co ntinued on page 5

Stocker. Although the performers in this work possessed talent, the drama itself became a playacting exercise in which the ideas of the playwright did not penetrate my mind. I just could not have cared less about the central action. I kept asking myself where were all the fine, sensitive young actors and found myself strangely envying the corpse.' the direction, Al though scenery, and movement of the drama were good, the integTal dialogue was presented far too quickly, and, as time flowed onward, the playwright evidently became enraptured with his own power of creativity. Mr. Stocker merely substituted the Ah Ha emotion for the Ho Hum reaction of the preceding work with dismal effect: I mourned for the play. I felt as if I had been sitting there for three years while the playwright played the audience for a fool. Although the viewers generally laughed, the play in its entirety was not amusing. First we had the Storefront Lawyers, then the New Interns_, and now the . Young Morticians, my my ... I can only give the playwright my condolences. After a brief intermission, we were introduced to Richard Nelson's My Childhood With The Cfoil War. Mr. Nelson carried his play off well. As in Spoon River Anthology, the actors delivered slow artic_ulate lines while moving in carefully planned triangular blocking. Through a combination of spontaneous non-movement, dialogue, and discontinuous

abstract costumes, the playwright carefully produced an image of the_ civil war through memory traces. By delicately constructing one image upon another, Mr. Nelson allowed real characters to develop. The actors became real individuals, people whom the audience could have known and understood, not clever charlatans. the Un f o r t u n a t ely, juxtaposition of time and space left the theatergoer a bit bewildered, and the ending was definitely unsettling. Yet it was obvious that Mr. Nelson is a talented playwright with directional capability. Last, but by no means least, H aynor's Garrett was Armageddon. In essence, Mr. Haynor has crossed the themes of the modem morality tale A the with Carol Christmas television stage play Demon With A Glass Hand to produce a comical farce of humorous p r o p ortions. the Although Continued on page 7.

·Fi�ancial Aid Decreases, Student Assistance Possible BY SUSAN BRAIDER

The idea of starting a coffee was house received with enthusiasm. The establishment of a coffee house would have a twofold purpose: to raise money for future scholarships and to increase the number of jobs for students presently on scholarship. The coffee house would seil cigarettes and snacks, for a

relatively ·moderate profit which would go directly into a scholarship fund. It would be staffed by Kirkland scholarship students and volunteers. Although no immediate steps were taken, the committee was able to articulate possible remedies to Kirkland's financial difficulties.

The reduction in scholarship aid to incoming students has caused concern among the Kirkland community. Students called an ad-hoc committee meeting on March 3 to discuss the ramifications of · the scholarship problem. Faculty, administration, and students were represented. The students agreed that a small college such as Kirkland needs to have a diverse student body, and that this ide�l .

'Comment' Found Lacking; Poorly Constructed Review · Continued from page 4. previously made by other political analysts. The topic these days is clearly overworked; a similar study centering on any other political figure would probably have been more interesting if not enlightening. The structure of the articks by Messrs. Crumrine and Palmer detracted. significantly from the obvious value of their comments. The former's writing touched on many interesting f�cets regarding the Polish citizen's way of life. The author tended to combine his findings with some historical ', reference. The prose seemed to s hift from subject to subject and would have been more effective

having concentrated on several specific areas· or anecdotes rather than the range it encomp·assed. Mr. Palmer's interview was quite often tedious; its value could have been greatly increased by a simple editing of Mr. Oyer's direct responses - even Playboy does that. Instead, Oyer's phrases sentences.transitional and switching from thought to thought were needlessly included. Consequently, the article lacked impact. At times the material did not seem germane to the magazine's general topic involving pu_blic affairs - indeed, in many respects .the article could have · equally concerned a Hamilton

student spending his junior year in Skidmore. Messrs. Plath and Eager explored provokative topics; many of thflir conclusions were worth noting, but thier effect was seriously hampered by extraneous comments they made which turned their work from objective analyses to nostalgic ramblings. In general, many of the problems noted could have been avoided by more careful work by the editors in the actual area of editing. For the future, it would be far better to have only a few well develo.ped pieces instead of an overabundance of weakly constr,ucted writings.

This program is open to students recommended by the deans of the colleges to which they will return for their degrees. There arc strong and varied offerings in many areas, such as fine arts. urban studies. languages including non-European. mathematics in the College and at the Courant Institute. p�.ychology, and others. A qualified student may register for courses in all other schools o( the University, including the specializations in Commerce and Education. The University sponsors programs in Spain and Fran.ce.

MARCH 12, 1971

From the Bench With an exc1tmg win over Middlebury last week, the 1971 season came to an unexpected end. The-win gave the Continentals the needecl twelfth victory which _was a prerequisite for a-tournament berth, AND many, including the members of the team, were anxiously anticipating the invitation from the E.C.A.C. Selection Committee. But much to the consternation of all concerned, Hamilton was turned down in favor of Norwich University, a team the Continentals had recently beaten 4-3, and whose record . proved to be po_orer. The reasons for this decision are still unknown, but Norwich's last victory over number-one ranked Vermont by the score of 7-2 may have been the � deciding factor. Nevertheless, the decision came as a shock. But one must not dwell on the "ifs" of the season, for there is so much more to say. For a team which lost five of its first seven games, the 1971 hockey team showed incredible pride in itself, worked hard, and went on to finish the season with ten wins and only two losses. The final standings in the E.C.A.C. Division II placed Hamilton in fourth place in the east; a highly commendable achievement. For the seniors on the team, Mike Thomas, Greg Batt, and Dave McCart, the season is mixed with both good and bad. Three consecutive wins over highly touted I Middlebury, two fine wins over Williams, and wins over Oswego and Norwich must be considered the high points of the season. But the early losses of the season, particularly those incurred on the Bowdoin-Colby trip, and th'e close loss to the University 'of Massachusetts sort of mellows these reflections,particularly in light of Hamilton's rejection from the tournament. It has_ been a long season, and for the seniors it has been their last. But hopes are high for next year.

Ralph �ader

Root-Jessup Presents - Ralph Nader -Lecture BY BILL DELANEY He appears tall, slim, and slightly stooped forward before an audience. His long hands are often hidden in pockets of a loose suit, and the eyes of the man are-dark. The mild air he radiates does not te}lof several determined fights he has waged and won against foes like the government and automobile industry. He is a one-man lobby, responsible for crusades which have saved lives and made our· nation more liveable. His name is Ralph Nader and he will speak in the Hamilton College Gymnasium at 8 P.M. on Monday, April 12. Tickets for the talk will be available near the main desk in the Bristol Campus Center through Monday and at the door. Tickets are $2.

Soon after graduating from Princeton in 1955 and Harvard Law in 1958, Nader launched a famous campaign against the automobile industry. His book, Unsafe at Any Speed, became a best seller, painting in harsh terms the danger of the modem car. The book prompted passage of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act of1�60. The saf�ty devices still appearing fresh each year in the new autos are in large part a result of Nader's revelations and recommendations. What To Do About Your Bad Car describes the ways a consumer can effectively complain about a defective car. After his assault on the car ended which manufacturers Continued on Page Two

BY CONSTANCE MINER Kirkland's Core requirement has been abolished. The Kirkland Assembly, on March 15, passed a motion reading: "There are no required courses at Kirkland, but the student is urged to develop a program with her advisor which includes distributive breadth. This does not prevent the requirement of specific in c oarses concentration." The second part of the motion urges students who postponed their Core requirements to do some work in those areas, though students are not required to do so. The Core requirement had been a major part of Kirkland's academic program. Freshmen were required to take two semesters of a Core course in each of three Divisions - Humanities, Social Science, and Science. This allowed only two electives per year for freshmen with a normal course load. Sophomores had been required to take two semesters of a Humanities Core. Discontent with the Core program surfaced last fall in the form of a questionnaire. The great majority of those answering felt that the Core should either be revised or abolished. In early November, the Kirkland faculty voted to make the second semester core optional at the request of the Humanities Division. The q�estion of the C.ote was discussed by last semester's Curriculum Committee and the new Standing Committee on Academic and Curricular Affairs _before the motion was presented to the Kirkland Assembly. two SCACA s ubmitted the r ec o m mend ations to Assembly with the motion. The first urged that all four Divisions consider inter-disciplinary. and inter-divisional course offerings. SCACA cautioned that it would

Five guest speakers will conduct a panel discussion Friday night. Workshops for students and faculty will be held on Saturday. The Steering Committee also hopes to organize transportation for students wishing to attend the April 24th rally against the war in Washing ton D .C . S tu dents interested are asked to submit their names to the Committee. The number of interested people will determine the form of transportation organized. The speakers will be: Sidney

Peck, from the People's Coalition in Boston; Cynthia Fredricks, who recently returned from a tour of Viet Nam; Jay Craven, the President of Boston University's Student Go vern m e n t; B o b G eenblatt, who i s involved in the planning of anti-war activities for this spring; and David Deitch, a feature editor for the Boston Globe. Money from the Strike Fund, collected last spring, will be used fo pay for the speakers' transportation expenses. The panel discussions will be held Friday night in the List Arts Center auditorium at 8 p.m. Each speaker will hold workshops for students and faculty on Saturday

afternoon. A drive is being conducted by the Committee to get people on the Hamilton-Kirkland campus to sign the Peoples Peace Treaty for Viet Nam . The treaty is aimed at establishing peace in Viet Nam by establishing a peace- treaty between the people of the United States and the people of Viet Nam . The Committee feels that since the U.S. government is making no attempt to establish peace in Viet Nam , the· people of the U.S. must now take the initiative. If the campaign on the campus succeeds, the treaty will be taken to the people of Clinton, N'ew Hartford and Utica.

New Ruling Prohibits Stray Dogs on Campus Unlicensed and uncared for dogs will be removed from the campus and turned over to the Humane Society. Associate Dean Hadley S. DePuy said that the ·recent increase in the number of dogs and the deterioration of their behavior had compelled him to take action. Specifically, he cited an attack on the son of an English professor by a dog, the presence of dogs in the kitchens and dining areas of Com mons and McEwen, the roaming of packs of dogs on the campus, and the "gross antisocial ac ts" c ommitted in various classrooms and campus buildings. Two students have also been bitten. DePuy pointed out that Public Health Service laws state that dogs and other animals may not be in a reas where food is stored, prepared or served. DePuy �urned the position of "manager of wildlife" in the

absence of Vice President and Provost Paul D. Carter, under whose jurisdiction the matter technically falls, because DePuy felt that the situation had become u r g e n t enough t o r equire immediate 3+tion. He emphasized that this action was taken as a last resort and that he was "in no way anti-animal." As unpopular as any action taken against dogs may be, he affirmed that· the College must and is prepared to protect the health and safety of the community. The town of Kirkland requires all dogs to be registered and to show tags. Students owning dogs on campus should register them in t he Town Clerk's Office ll_l Kirkland. Presently, college rules state that students may not maintain a n i m a l s in dormitories. The college is overlooking the rule, but will soon rewrite the regulation with the Student Senate.

- Comment Turning Point Kirkland College has reached a decisive .turning point. Although the Core requirement has been abolished, the unique qual ity of Kirkland's educ ational philosophy must not be abandoned. This i s a positive step toward ·self-motivated education, not an act classifying Kirkland along with every other small liberal arts institution that has rid itself of curricular requirements. Kirkland's spec ial belief m the inter-relatedness of studies must not be compromised. The philosophy behind the Core which stressed the importance of an integrated education must not be forgotten. We strongly concur with the chairman of the Standing Committee on Academic and Curri_cular Affairs, Ursula J. Colby, that "the spirit of the Core" must be maintained. Special consideration must be made now to direct Kirkland's academic offerings to inc lude more inter-disciplinary and inter-divisional cour ses. Planning, imaginc!tion and cooperation between faculty and students must gq inf<;>. .., the-: creation of these"courses. '� A problem created by the abolition of required courses is that the present advisory system cannot deal · adequately with the increased need for individual counseling in curricular planning. Without the guidelines of requirements, students �hould carefully construct a program that entails not only personal relevance, but also "d i s t r i butive breadth." On ly a comprehensive system of well-informed advisors who have time to schedule conferences with all students can fulfill the needs of such an open academic field.

assumption of the awareness of the individual responsibility on the part of Kirkland students.· is incorrect. The fact that less than one-third of the student body voted. on the last constitutional amendment referendum reveals a disturbing apathy on the part of the majority of . Kirkland students. This attitude is destructive. Not only does lack of participation passively deny the process of democracy at Kirkland, it also actively impedes the functioning of the Kirkland Assembly. Since amendiner:its to the constitution must be ratified by two-thirds of the community, the ability of the Assembly to perform its duties is impaired by the fact of so few students voting. A constitutional amendment which would expand the rights of the Kirkland Assembly concerning curricular matters· will require community referendum within the next two weeks. It is possible that the previous lack of participation was due to insufficient publicity. Therefore, the entire amendment appears on this week's issue of the Spectator, This important amendment increases the rights of the Assembly and its committees by expanding the power of curr�culat ·,., decisions to embrace - not- only - curriculum policy · but also details in curriculum planning. Passage of the amendment would. broaden the assembly's power, and in tum increase the democratic character · ''o'f Kirkland. We urge every Kirkland student to exercise her voting right_ and assume the individual responsibility that is 'crucial·--in' determining the direction of Kirkland­ College.

We have a problem with stray and abandoned dogs. They disrupt classes; fight· in the Library{ form packs and- attack other animals; sometimes bite students,faculty,and small children; cause problems in the dining halls,the Bristol Campus Center and elsewhere; occasionally commit gross antisocial acts. These ·events "are up�etting to the aqi.demi� program, and they present significant health and safety problems. It is up to th� College to n:iake sure that effective steps are taken to insure that these problems are resolved. After April 13th, each dog on the campus must have an individual owner who will be responsible for its care,keeping it out of the dining halls, the library, the Bristol Center, and the academic buildings, licensing as required by law, vaccination against rabies, and -above all- its behavior on the caml?us.'Otherwise,it will be necessary to turn unlicensed or unowned dogs over to the proper authorities. Fair warning has been given.Your cooperation is appreciated.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment to alter Section V, D as follows: 1. Contractual. agreements between individual members of the faculty or the administration and Kirkland College are not within the competence of the Assembly. 2.· The curriculum of the College is th� _primary re-sponsibility of the Faculty and through it the Dean of the Faculty and the President. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as impeding the power of the Assembly to make recommendations concerning the curriculum, to inquire into curricular plans and practices, or to -- undertake;through an appropriate committee, the review and approval or disapproval of all Kirkland courses. 3. (as at present)

The above is a constitutional amendment proposed by the Kirkland Assembly for ratification by the student body within the next two weeks. A majority of the student body must vote in order to pass the amendment. ·',

-Presidential Candidates

Julian B•nstein Early· in this·· semester some other students and I conducted a poll' concerning attitudes at Hamilton.' The results of the poll show significant dissatisfaction with the schooL I believe that strong and responsible action on the p.art of the Student Senate is necessary. While Senate action should reflect the students needs and desires, we look to the President of the Senate for the initiative in dealing �th these problems. There are a number of steps that can be taken to improve our experience at Hamilton which are within the scope of the Sen�te's influence. One project is the adoption of a system for self-scheduled final examinations. This is a means of reducing excessive pressure by allowing a student to arrange his exam schedule according to his studying needs. Our honor code is already equipped to cover this program. Hamilton students are being placed at a disadvantage to other students due to our grading system. In the short run, no provision is made for grades bordering between two marks. In the long run, pluses and minuses have no meaning when coverted to the four point scale for job and graduate school applications. The poll revealed that the pre-medical students are particularly discontented with Hamilton. To help solve this problem, a pre-med advisory committee should be set up to help the faculty pre-med committee with information about medical schools and to keep pre-med students better informed. If successful, the idea may be pursued for· other graduate schools. The residential and social environment demands attention, and the old, "in loco parentis" doctrine is no longer acceptable. How ever, changes in the fraternity atmosphere should come from within, not from external coercion. The freshman's position could be helpe4 by increasing the influence of the freshman council with financial backing by the Senate. An energetic Senate can accomplish a great deal. The President must provide the initiative, and we have a lot more to do.

If the Senate were to push strongly for such a proposition, it should first have the approval of the student body which would have to live with the situation whatever it may be.

Fall Coffee-House May Offer R.egular· Pr0gram, Ne-w Jobs

BY MARIA ZAMMIT To have a coffee-house or not to have a coffee-house, that is the question. And considering the fate of past efforts, the answer would seem to be no. However, renewed plans are in progress and a full-time coffee-house is more than just a mere possibility. The now occasional entertainment w o u l d bec o m e r e g u l a r entertainment starting next fall. A unique feature of this attempt at a coffee-house, and one which will help insure its success, is the creation of new openings .for student employment.

One of the causes of past failures has been the shortage of volunteer help. However, Director of Financial Aid David Chapman emphasizes that he is not funding the entertainm:ent but is dealing solely with the operational features. According to · Mr. Chapman, "Campus jobs will be created that will deal - with the technical aspects of the Coffee House." These aspects include the paid employment of a coordinator and staff who will manage and work the Coffee-House. nightly. Paid employment is limited, however,

The group's rail productions entitled "Bolgia Four" was The successful. immensely Improvisational Theater consists- of Alan Bryce, John Rowe, Jim Ragland, Tom Creamer, Chris Wagner, Jim Peskin, Rhoda Bronston, and KateJones. Speaking for the theater group, Alan Bryce '71 said that the improvisation works about Luella Forepaugh's nineteenth century drama "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,"

an adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous short novel. Bryce said that the play is "possibly one of the worst plays ever written" · and that the imprQvisors hope t_o "enhance" ·· Forepaugh's play. Bryce said that since the group ·performed "Bolgia Four," the members have attempted to improvisational their perfect technique by the use of textbook . exercises. He said that the group hopes for improvement in "1e spring production.

The improvisational · theater group will apply their. new techniques to the nineteenth century melodrama but will .respect the nature of the melodrama. The actors will comment individually on the action. - - Bryce said that the viewer of the improvisational theater perceives the work on three levels. The audience sees the work as a play, an acting exercise and a surreal commentary. It is an interesting· experience.

- EECHK Lobby lll DC Urges SST Rejection /

ts Y ROBERT GIAN T w o m e m b e r s of th e En v i r o n m e nfa l Ec o l o g y Committee of Hamilton and Kirkland, Robert Rauch '71 and John Oster '72, spent a portion of their spring recess in Washington lobbying against the Supersonic Transport (SST). An $80 grant from the Student Senate funded their traveling expenses. After an initial strategy session in the office of Senator William Proxmire of Wisconsin, who led the anti-SST' forces, Rauch and Oster visited senatorial offices to present arguments against the bill to finance the SST construction. In ,their lobbying, Rauch and O s t e r e m p h asized the en vi ro nm en tal co nsiderations which militated against the SST, although the issues of economy and n a tional priorities also occupied significant positions in their presentation. The SST woµld release large quantities of water vapor in the upper stratosphere, a region about which scientists know very little. An MIT study suggested the possibility tha_t this water vapor . might reduce·the protective ozone layer around •the earth and thereby increase skin cancer. If the SST ever flew overland, it would cause a sonic boom effect with a path estimated at 50 miles wide, leaving a trail of shattered windows and weakened foundations. The deafening roar of a SST takeoff, estimated to be twice as loud as that of a subsonic jet, would be above a safe decibel level. The projected squadron of 500 SST's would have increased the United States demand for oil by one third, thus creating additional pressure for the opening of the Alaskan N o r th Slope and extensive new off-shore drilling, both of which would have spinoff environmental effects. In the area of economics, they pointed out that the SST had failed the free market test. The request for a government subsidy became necessary only after risk capital demonstrated that it was unwil ling to undertake the financing o f the prototype aircraft. Rauch, who remained in Washington until the 51-46 Senate vote which defeated the SST proposal, worked closely with the National Coalition Against the SST. Rauch .'s opinion on the reason for the rejection of the SS�I' was that "Americans have finally come to realize that we cannot

afford to accept massive new _developments which benefit only ·a few at a time when there exist broader and more urgent needs such as urban mass transit and the rebuilding of the cities." '(he SST, which would cut A:tlantic flying time by two hours for 100 passengers, failed the test of priority. Rauch felt that this realization of priorities, coupled with arguments of environmental protection, led to the SST defeat. Rauch also noted the popJ.Ilar outcry. against the SST, which overcame strong pressure from the White House and the aerospace industry in favor of its passage. He pointed to the large amoung of citizen lobbying, especially on the environmental question, and the acknowledged effect of anti-SST constituent mail on the votes of certain senators. Rauch saw the SST rejction as a "hopeful s_ign...a symbolic step against the_ fuJ?.ding of extravagant projects. The tune· is right for change within the system directed toward the pressing needs of the many."

BY ROY SCHECTER Jerry Ryan '72, chairman of the student-faculty committee on auxiliary services of the College, has announced that the Pub will soori be renovated. The Committee, said Ryan, recommended that the Pub be expanded to its spatial· capacity, which will involve removing the· snack bar from its present location. ''That area is wasted", explained Ryan, "and could be far more beneficially used by adding tables and chairs instead." The wall on that side of the pub will be finished, and a floor will be installed where the snack bar now stands·. Little is known about how much the renovations will cost, but they will be paid for by Pub profits from the past year, which presently exceed $1700.

Every year, with the advent of the spring athletic seasons, the conflict of long hair inevitably arises. Unfortunately in the past, the Athletic Department has consistently chosen a policy of banning long hair, a policy , which may have been blindly accepted ten years ago, but which today has no relevance. It may be said that ten years ago . young men preferred to wear their hair short, for personal reasons. But today, for very personal reasons also, the same young men choose differently, and our coaches have refused to realize this. From one point of view, long hair is said to be cumbersome, and difficult, often interfering with the athlete's vision, and thus impairing his playing ability. Also, if one w�s really dedicated to a sport, one wou�d sacrifice his beautiful locks to conform to the already long-established policy, and in 4oing so fit into the "image" of the athlete. Unfortunately, this rigid point of view has discouraged many potential ·athletes from supporting Hamilton's teams, especially in the spring. And from many of our past records, Hamilton cannot afford to lose someone who might be beneficial and provide some badly needed depth. To equate long hair with a: lack of desire to play, is completely absurd. Long hair, if kept out of the eyes should be no hindrance to an athlete's performance, and it is time the Athletic Department and the coaches realize this. The athletes of Hamilton and many people on the Hill are awaiting a more liberal approach to this perrenial problem. It's about time.

S teering Committee Sponsors Anti-War Activity Jei-ry Rubin to Speak Monday

BY BRUCE WILLIAMS The Steering Committee of Hamilton-Kirkland Colleges and other students are sponsoring a variety of anti-war activities for this spring. The activities were discussed at a meeting heW Sunday night which followed last weekend's teach-in. Jerry Rubin, defendant in the Ghicago 8 conspiracy trial and a leading force in the Youth International Party, will be speaking in the Chapel Monday night at 8:30. The Steering Committee is �ponsoring . the lecture at a cost of $_300. A bus will be provided for those wishing to attend the Student Mobilization Committee sponsored rally in Washington, D.C. on April 24. The rally is expected to be similar to those held 1 as t spring and will be accompanied by demonstrations in San F1·ancisco. The bus was loaned by the Peace Action Coalition in Utica and will be partially subsidized by money from last spring's Strike Fund. Another bus is a possibility if more than forty people express interest. The bus or busses will leave. Friday night and return on Sunday.

Other activities sponsored by the May-Day Tribe, the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice and the Peoples Peace Treaty will begin on May 1 and continue to May 5. On May 1 a celebration for the ratification of the People's Peace Treaty, which is being circulated around campus, will be held in Washington. From May 2 until May 5 non-violent civil disobedience will take place in the capitol, culminating in a nation-wide moratorium on the fifth. The moratorium would be a day of "no business as usual". Steering Committee member Debbie Spears '73 says that the May activities will take "a more s e r i o u s c o m m i t m ent t ha n t h e A p r i l demonstration ." The slogan o f the May Day activities is: "If the government won't stop the war, we'll stop the government." Details are still to be worked out regarding the participation in these activities by Hamilton and Kirkland students.

BY NANCY GAY BARGAR The Committee on Academic Coordination has been established to coordinate curricula between Ha milton and Kirkland. The Committee is a sub-committee of the Kirkland Assembly's Standing Committee on Academic and Curricular Affairs: The first meeting of CAC on M a r c h 11 w a s l a r g e l y organizational. The committee elected Associate Professor of English Austin Briggs as chairman and A�sociate Professor of History Pet er Marcy as vice chairman/secretary. The chairmanship of CAC will alternate between Kirkland and Hamilton by semester. For the sake of continuity, the vice chairman/secretary will normally succeed to the chairmanship. Professor U r s ula S. Colby, Assistant Professor Eugene Lewis, and Associate Professor John Carovano are the other faculty members on the committee. Ellen O'Brien '72 is the only student on the six-member committee. The com�ittee has met twice since the first meeting. At these meetings, CAC has discussed the possibilities o f coordinating Psychology courses at Hamilton and Kirkland and establishing an American Studies Pr o g ram involving cross-registration. "The Psychology meetings were fruitful," said Chairman Briggs, "and we felt useful as a committee. Our function is not to reconcile the philosophies of Hamilton and Kirkland which will probably always differ, but we can help establish procedures to work together harmoniously to reduce frictions. It is necessary to students of both institutions that

the course offerings complement each other." A long-term agenda for the committee has not yet been put

together, but the next step will be t o s u r vey w h a t c u r r i cular coordination exists already. Some Continued on page eight

Senate Election Voided New Voting Rules Created BY KEN GIVENS The Student Senate Elections Committee voted unanimously to void Thursday's election for Student Senate President. The results of the election produced a large descrepancy between the number of ballots {626) and the number of registered voters (575). After ruling the election void, the Committee made recommenda­ tions f�r a new election and then resigned. Student Senate President Steve B aker '71 agreed with the Committee's decision and called for a new election for Monday, April 19 .. Baker said that the reason for the new election was "That there were 51 votes unaccounted for and there was a difference of only thirty-one votes between the top vote-getter and the fourth place candidate, not because the wrong guy won." Baker withheld the results of the election in order not to prejudice the voting in the new election. The- Student Senate will not investigate the election. Baker said that he did not wish to speculate on the possibilities, such as "ballot stuffing", as the cause for the descrepancy. Since the election committee has resigned, Baker, who has the

constitutional power to "supervise all committees, 11 wiH appoint a new committee. Baker said he wants to appoint a completely impartial committee of Faculty tnembers or wives. T he r e s i g n i n g Elections Committee and Baker made the following recommendations for election procedure: 1) Notes ad vertising the election, not ballots, will be put in all mailboxes by S:30 a.m. of the election day. 2) Two impartial workers will man the ballot box at all times. 3) The procedure for voting will be as follows: There will be two tables in the voting area. Students will go up to the first, mention h i s name to the attendant and sign his name next to his printed name in the directory. After the student has signed his name, he will be given a ballot by the attendant. The student should immediately mark the ballot, fold it and proceed to the next table. The student will give the ballot to the attendant and the attendant will place the ballot into the box. There will be a mandatory meeting of all Spectator staff members, Sunday night at 9. You had better be there.

Pre -Freshman Weekend To Begin Thurs., April22 BY ROBERT J. KEREN T h e H a m il ton A dm i s s ions Office has i n v i ted 120 accepted high school seniors and anticipates that upwards o f 60 w il l attend pre-freshmen weekend, formerly known as sub-freshmen weekend, b eginning Thursday, April 22, and c o ntinuing u ntil Saturday, April 24. M i chael Klosson '71, Chairman of pre-freshmen Weekend, said that "the students invited were the strongest candidates among those accepted and are also those that we feel might go to schools other than .Hamilton. In the past the weekend was h e l d i n the winter with both students that were accepted and 'also t hose that were not, but this y ea r we h·ave w a ited u nt i l t h e spring and are concentrating only on accepted pre-freshmen." Kloss on comm ented that the Co m m ittee h·as tried to highlight common student activities for this year's pre-frosh i n three formal meetings, while also allowing them enough time to follow through on their own interests.

Anyone i nt ere sted in being a g uide for pre-freshmen Weekend April 22-24 should contact Michael Klosson, Box 937.

Kirkland BY CAROL GOODMAN K i r k l and's sub-f reshman weekend will take place ori April 23, . 24 - and , 25. About '· one hundred, - or one third _of the students accepted, have been invited to the campus. Hamilton sub-freshman weekend will occur at this time. Director of Admissions Carole Walker explained ·several reasons for the inviting of admittees at th is time of the · year. As acceptances have been mailed out this week, the admittee is faced with the problem of choosing w h i c h school to attend. Hopefully, the students will be f a v o r a bly im pressed with Kirkland: the registration date is May 1.

The production• of. "Twelfth Night" and ecology program are among the activities scheduled for the weekend. Miss Walker was hesitant, however, to structure the weekend in order to give the guests adequate opportunity to attend classes and perceive the overall atmosphere of the college. Originally, an "on-the-road" approach was planned for major cities to interest high school junior and senior applicants; but a r r a ng eme nts became too complicated. At this point, the campus seems .to be the most conducive device for the encouragement of perspective matriculants. If it does not snow, the weekend might be successful.

An effort should also candidates, not the name-calling campaigns be made to redefine Kirkland courses of last week. acceptable for credit toward a Hamilton major. Such efforts will broaden and enliven the offerings open to Hamilton students.

Election To the Editor: I wanted to write a short note explaining the decision of the ,E l e c t i ons C o m m ittee a nd statements attributed to me. It was the feeling of the Elections Committee - and I concur - that when the top four candidates are within thirty-one votes :1)f each other and fifty-one votes cannot be accounted for that there should be another election. The new election will be conducted with the utmost impartiality; hopefully, any ballot stuffing can be eliminated. I think that this is the only faiT way. It has been said that I said a n'.ertain candidate had rigged tne fi,rst election. This is untrue;.', I believe that all candidate�: haye li_een fair and that any discrepan<sy is. not due to them. I did take precautions to insure a fair election the first time - ballots in every mailbox, a student directory 1!1 check· vot�ts_/ a,g�inst, and students watching the poles whom L felt were objective. I have not s�read inn�endb about -any candidate "fixing" the election; I tiav�. ,attempted to, take . the predutions necessary to insure a fair election. If, there are those on this

campus who believe that I have spread rumors about someone "fi�ing" the election - they are incorrect; 1 took what I believe to be necessary precautions because I believe that an accurate vote is what the students want to have. I am not saying that I have not said whom I wish to win - for I have but I am saying that I have not slande red any candidate by accusing him of "rigging" the election. Steve Baker

Mail Center To the Editor: The operation of the mail center is an indispensable service to all of the students and faculty of Hamilton College. However, the value of such a service "is greatly compromised by certain delinquent behavior of some student employees of the ·mail center. Some specific complaints are: ( 1) Some employees of the mail center are . simply rude to their patrons. At times one is sorely taxed to refrain from reminding these workers that they are being paid, not merely· to_ shuffle mail, but primarily to... serve students and facultv: (2) Of ten periodl�als are

u n n e c e s s a r il y delayed or mysteriously disappear. While the United States Postal Service is often to blame, it is nevertheless not uncommon to see some mail center employees reading other students' magazines (which should already have been delivered) while waiting for another job to do. (3) Most serious of all, some mail center employees actually read some of the mail they are e nt r u sted to deli�r. Most susceptible to their curiosity are po stc�rds, campus mail, and unsealed letters, particularly grade r e p o r t s and departmental memoranda. O u r s o u r c e s o f these complaints are our own personal e xperiences and also the statements of mail center employees themselves.

If nothing else can be said about my years on these campuses, it is that I will never cease to be amazed by their members, which obviously includes myself. I have a tendency to dislike negativism, but quite often I am provoked in its direction. The provocation begins with a prevalence of attitudes in these communities, and throughout the rest of the world for that matter, both collectively, and individually, and my concern is essentially with seemingly little things. I work on the assumption that if you can cope with the little things, then the big things naturally take care of themselves; if you can't cope with the little things, then there is no hope in even trying to deal with the big ones. Let me list a few "little" things. In recent days, there has been a running attack in the BCC on Suliman M. Alaiye's sign s· about Islam. The viciousness and immaturity of t}:iese comments are in reality callously and _ unthinkingly sad. They make an unfortunate comment on the fears, torments and insensibilities of their authors. The same comment can be found in the "amusing" games of scorn and mockery that inhabit portions of the Hamilton College Chapel Monday mornings during serious announcements, especially ·of a religious nature. Another example of these attitudes is in the absurd quantity of litter that consistently mars these campuses. Of all the sins of civilization, this is the most rm-understandable, outrageous and inexcusable. Every problem of mankind, from wars, pollution and social oppression, to the "generation gap", economic ripoffs and dishonesty, can be encapsuled in the irrational indifference, waste and depravity that are evidenced in lit�er. How can we expect to clean up our water and air when we can't even keep the magnificence and beauty of our privileged campuses clean? Nor is it ·enough to merely not litter. Until we stop letting someone else clean up after us, which Mr. Letzelter's crew does, despite any and all criticism, I'm afraid that the doomsayers will eventually prove correct. There are those who really .do care, and who do so happily without public recognition, and we should take a lesson from them. There need not be any big flurry about acting with sensitivity, enjoyment and humanity; it only needs to be done, and there will be benefits for each individual, as well as the collective whole. I do not claim to point out the entire scope of the problem, for it is only so much talk until we learn how to deal with the root of all life on earth, and that is our attitude as individuals. Attitudes are something that you have to really feel, but· that doesn't preclude making an effort. It is all to easy to cry revolution, to put down what has gone before us, regardless of the basic legitimacy of the claim, when we refuse to look at ours.elves...and be able to criticize our, failings and change them, as well as exult our qualities and spread them. In God's name, how can we claim the right to live when our actions, inactions, our thoughts and unthoughts deny the very worth and meaning that is life?! I expect to be accused of everything from ego-tripping to self-righteousness, but the truth I perceive, which is there for anyone to see, frightens me. It is said that mankind only rises at the time of crucial challenges, never before them. Until we perceive that the challenges lie within each one of us, that it is crucial, we might as , well give up the game, go home and wait for the end, as we seem to be doing now. It is time to celebrate life, its joys and sufferings alike, and .the power to celebrate life lies inside us all. Ben Earle '73

A s r e p r esentativ-e s o f the Co-e d Ho using Committee,we are writing to explain the outcome of the Committee's efforts regarding coeducational housing. It might be stated that the real problems involv e d are r elated t o t h e Ha milton-Kirkland relationship. None of the faculty or administrators on the Studen t Life C o m m itt ee showed any negative attitudes towards the philosophy of a co-ed dorm,but some showed negative attitudes regarding the possible repercussions of co-ed living facilities o n t h e H i l l . All o f us o n t he Coed Housing Committee agree: 1. that there is a crucial need for co-ed dorms at the colleges, a n d that a p i lot project should be started next fall. 2. that having co-ed housing on the Hill could only help both schools. L et us examine the validity of these statements. Antagonisms exist between the two schools and though co-ed dorms are not the answer, they are one possible -solution. Co-ed l i v i n g facilities are crucial fir.st because they h elp 1 es sen the gap betw ee n coordinate s c hools. I n the Com m itte e's int e r v iew with Haverford's Dean Lyons, we were told that a similar type of i nter-school rivalry and animosity existed between Haverford and Bryn Mawr. We were also told that t h i s sentiment soon ended when co�ed housing was initiated. A t some coordinate colleges co-ed dorms are needed less because there is-more cross-registration, s i m i 1 ar att itudes toward e ducation a t both institutions, a n d m o re of a combined social life between the schools. There is a minimum of these qualities on the Hill. Third,the questionaires that the Committee used to gauge student opinion revealed that at least 20% of all Kirkland students and 13% of all Hamilton students are seriously considering transferring; 1/2 of the Kirkland and 1/3of the Hamilton percentages stated that the i m p le mentation of co-ed dorms m ight make those students reconsider transferring. Also,approximately 60.% and 40% of Kirkland and Hamilton students respectively would be willing to· live in c o-ed f a c i lities next year. These students' wishes should be honored just as students wishing to j o i n fraternities (51 % of the freshman class) have had their views respected., Now let us prove the,validity. of the second statement w�ich says that a pilot project could Qnly hel� both schools. w_e shall do this by refuting the m aJor o bstacles to co-ed housing,as presented by Ha milton's a d m i n is t ra t io n a n d Student Life · Committee: 1. Kirkian d was c reated t o bring anoth-e r p e r spective t o the Hill. Co-e d dorms would "homogenize" both Hamilton and Kirkland; the id e a of separate colleges would therefore be lost. £ xamples o f this a r e' Har vard-R a dc l iffe and Brown-Pembroke. 2. B ecause Kirkland is a new college it does not have its own identity. "Rushing" into co-ed housing might cause an unstable Kirkland to be absorbed by Ha milton. This would c r eate a c oeducational Hamilton which the administration apparently does n ot want. This again defeats the p urpose of coordinate colleges. (This_ argument is all the more a ppealing because of Kirkland's severe economic situation.) Sta t em ent 1. is untrue for several reasons. In a co-ed dorm, stude�ts would come in contact Jith students holdingother viewpoints, a situation which is no different from that in an all-male or all-female dorm. The fact that Hamilton and Kirkland students a r e both s o v ery different in t he f irst place i� deb a table. But if we accept the premise that they are, it _ appears to us that exposure to people of other ideas, especially to those from the "school across t he road," would strengthen individual arguments by discuss ion and debate. If a "homogenization" o_c curs, it will b e a profitable one. If a Hamilton student c hanges his v iewpo int on traditional e d u c a t i o n a nd "l iberaliz es," this is to his advantage-t he same holds true for the Kirkland student . It also seems likely that such a change in vi e wpoints would be l ikely to occur anyway, regardless o f whether or not t he students live together. Radc l i ff e -Harvard a n d Pembroke-Brown are cited as cases where nearness creates oneness. This may be because it i s possible t h at coordinate education does not work as well as coeducation. But the fact r emains that in the above examples, the womens' colleges do not have separate cu1Ticula.

They exist as a womens' door to the mens' college. This is not so on the Hill. Kirkland is a distinct and autonomous entity, with its own curriculum. The administration's second argument seems to be the greatest roadblock to co-ed housing. How can o n e prove that Kirkland does have an identity-one that will not be swallowed up by Hamilton? It is the Committ ee 's b elief that Kirkland, although new, does have a di stinct and strong identity,separate from Hamilton's. Kirklan d 's students h a v e been a ttracted to Kirkla nd f o r different reasons t han Hamilton s t u d e n t s h a v e be e·n attracted to Ha milton.

Because of this essential difference,we feel that cohabitation will not create coeducat ion . Kirkland student s living on the Hamilton campus would not take an excess of Ha mil ton cours e s because of living convenience, unless the y w ere n o t totally c onvinced by the Kirkland system initially.

Dogs To the Editor T he M e morandum by D e an DePuy in the April 9 Spectator has upset me. I am concerned with the conduct of my fellows; reading the memo,I felt as if I had pulled back the shower curtain and found Incivility, nude and embarrassed.

K i r k l a n d 's f inancial status must also be considered when discussing co-ed living. If she can support herself financially,then we believe that she w ill retain her different academic ideals even with the presenc e of co-ed housing. But if she were to · fold a n d Ham ilton absorb her,thereby creating a c o-ed ucational community,the arguments against co-e d dorms w ould no longer be valid. The issue then becomes c oeducation on Hamilton's terms. This means that Hamilton would probably not take t h e a d m i s sions risks t ha t K irkland does. A self-motivated but low academically rated student would not have a very good chance of admittance to Ham ilton,whereas the situation at Kirkland might be r eversed. Sin c e more w o m en i nterested in t ra ditional aca demics would be· a,c.cepted a t Ha mil ton, homogenization a s well a s coeducation would occur. Therefore, the administration's two main arguments against co-ed housing would no longer apply.

As a r esult of the above findings, we present to the student body t h e C ommittee's suggestions which might facilitate the implementation of co-ed dor m s �ext f a l l.-a l i st which has been previously submitted to the Student Life Committee. Be it resolved that: 1. there be at least o n e c o- e d dorm on each campus, preferably rpore. 2. Kirkla nd and D dorms b e u sed (Kirkland because of the available lounge space on the first and . fourth floors). and North and E dorms if possible. 3. a l l a p p l i c a n t s be c h osen equally by lottery -without reference to class rank. 4. there 'be two separate lotteries: one for singles and one for doubles. If one has not been chosen for his /her first c hoice, e .g . a single, t hat person becomes eligible for the second lottery ,in this case a double. 5. that there be separate lotteries at each college, performed by each institutio n's Director of Housing. 6. there be no squatters' rights in regard to dorm acco·modations. 7. incom ing f res4m en not be eligible for this project while Dunham remains exclusively for them; howev e r , i f Dunham becomes a co-ed dorm, then f reshmen s hould be allowed to participate under the c ondition that they a r e n o longer housed separately. 8. each student be responsible for abiding by the rul�s a�d regulations of _the college at which he/.she. resid e�. �ny i�ftactio��of __rul�s and reguJ�tions:wilJ.. be dealt �1th by the college aJ which the stl¼dent is staying. · '' ' , 9. room and board be paid to the college at which the student is academically enrolled.

It pains me to see a semicolon holding a dependent clause,just as it hurts to see a leash restraining an ind e pendent m ongrel; wading through a sloppy phrase is as difficult as wading across a muddy campus. Certainly the pitfalls of the memo's second sentence were a test of traction; by comparison, the third paragraph was steady footing most of the way.

Local �anks· ApproveLoans· To Aid l{irkland Construction A group of seven Utica-Rome area banks has approved a $1.5-rnillion loan to Kirkland College for construction of the Kirner and Johnson academic buildings. The Kirner and Johnson buildings will contain a 200-seat auditorium, a variety of class and seminar rooms, a small library and faculty and administrative offices. The structures are named for V.E. Johnson, executive chairman of the board of Mohawk Data and for the late Mrs. Science Walter B. Kirner. The buildings, for which ground has 'already been broken, are the next-to-last element in the $16-million Kirkland. campus. Contractors for the new buildings are Ryan & McCaffrey Corp. of Whitesboro, N .Y. Area firms have performed all the College's construction. President Samuel F. Babbitt said that the loan was obtained so that there would be no delay in construction of the buildings, which will be joined to each other at the center of Kirkland's academic complex. The total cost of the buildings will be more than $2 million. A federal grant of $750,000 is being obtained to aid in financing them, and in addition they are eligible for a federal low-interest subsidy grant to reduce the net cost of the loan.

Vietnamese agree to participate in an immediate ceasefire with - U.S. forces·, and will enter discussions on the procedure to guarantee the safety of all withdrawing troops, and to secur\; release of all military prisoners. AMERICANS pledge to stop imposing Thieu, Ky and Khiem on the people of Vietnam in order to insure their right to self-determination, and to ensure that all political prisoners are released. :., Vietnamese pledge to form a provisional coalition government to organize democratic elections, in which all South Vietnamese can participate freely without the presence of any foriegn troops, and to enter discussions of procedures to guarantee the safety and political freedom of persons who cooperated_with either side in the war. AMERICANS and VIETNAMESE agree to respect the independence , peace, and neutrality of Laos and Cambodia. Upon these points of agreement, we pledge to end the war in Vietnam. We will resolve all other questions in mutual respect for the rights of self-determination of the people of Vietnam and of the United States.

If you did pot sign up for an appointment, you can still donate blood. The best time to show up if you do not have an appointment is between 11:15 and 4:00. If you have any questions of fears, please contact Doc Reisman.

Be it known that the American arid Vietnamese people are not enemies. The war is carried out in the name of the people of the United States, but without our consent. It destroys the land and the people of Vietnam. It drains America of her resources, her youth and her honor. We hereby agree to end the war on the following terms, so that both peoples can live under the joy of independence and can devote themselves to building a society . based ·on human equality and respect for the earth. In rejecting the war we also reject all forms of racism and discrimination against the people based on coler, class, sex, national origin and ethnic grouping which form a basis of the war policies, present and past of the _United State�.

Trackmen Trounce LeMoyne; Lose to RPI

Last Saturday, the Hamilton Lacrosse team o· pened its season against a strong, and well-balanced Albany eleven. With five official regular season games and six scrimmages under their belt, the Albany squad definitely had the advantage _in game experience. The Continentals, on the other hand, being sn·ow-bound since November, had only a few days practice on semi-dry field. This proved to be the most deciding factor in the contest. · Albany controlled the game from the onset, with fine midfield and attack ball control, and only the superb goal tending of freshman Evan Lurie prevented the game from being a romp in the first quarter. But gradually as the game progressed and the Hamilton players got more game under c o nfidence conditions, things came together. First, junior Pat Neary put Hamilton on the score board with a fine shot from twenty-five feet out. Then later in the quarter,

attackman Dan Smith deked his defenseman and laced the twines on a fine one-man effort. But the early scores of Albany made a gap which the Continentals never quite seemed to overcome. With the score 10-3, in the fourth quarter, Hamilton staged a minor comeback. Dan Smith netted his second tally of the day, Nat Follansbee netted two, and single tallies were scored by Mark Rice, Robby Minter, and Ed Hoe. It was a fine effort for the season opener, as Continentals lost 11-8. Last Monday, the lacrosse team traveled to Rochester to play a highly rated Brockport team. Last year Hamilton was defeated 19-6, and the 1971 Eagles were supposed to be as good or better than the year before. To make a long story very short, it is best that this game be forgotten, as "it was just one of those days". Brockport showed superior team discipline, and excellent feeding from the attack

Moratorium Coalition Organizes ·for Wednesday

At a meeting Monday night, a ,c oalition Hamilton and of Kirkland students began to plan actions for next. Wednesday's Nationwide Moratorium Day. In order to better organize the Moratorium Day, members of the group have asked Hamilton and Kirkland professors to suspend classes for the ·day and urge their students to attend the workshops and memorial services. If professors ·do not wish to do this, the group hopes that they will center their lectures around the war, or related issues. Because the emphasis around the nation will be on a memorial for students killed last year at Kent State University and Jackson Herbert G. Klein State College, the students decided to organize a memorial service here, with the cooperation of Chaplain Joel Tibbetts. Details have yet to be worked out about the time and content of the service next Wednesday. In addition to remembering the murdered students at Kent Herbert G.

The five hundred dollar deposit now required of Kirkland students for next year's attendance was instituted for several reasons. First of all, it is meant to provide the college with a little solid cash to write checks with over the summer. Another strong reason is to cut down on the number of students who drop out 'after paying their deposits. Last year, ten girls decided in August or September that they were not coming, and the college lost their tuition money, since it was too late to replace them. The $50_9_ · deposit makes it a slightly more final step to decide to go to Kirkland. For those . with financial difficulties, the deposit can be flexible, and arrangements to facilitate payment are made on an individual basis. If the problem is a matter of timing, the student should see Kirkland· Controller Alan O':Brien; if her family simply hasn't the money, she should talk to Mr. Chapman. Mr. Chapman referred to the financial aid cut as a "reflection of the general economic situation in this country." Other departments in the collegs are also receiving less in relation to their needs. Kirkland's difficulties are, according to Mr. Chapman, the result of the "general squeeze" on money all over. Gifts from outside groups, organizations, and alumnae are not coming in as .expected. Mr.. Chapman,, stated that things will get better after a ·time, but not for a while: "We'll have some lean years in the meantime." Miss Walker commented on the high quality of the applicants this year: as an interviewer, she has · been writing extremely strong recommendations for nine out of ten. Of the 486 applicants, her estimate is that about 75% are of s uper1ative qua1ity. Unfortunately, the financial situation will deter some of them from deciding to come to Kirkland. The college has accepted 85· students who need financial aid, but is capable of actually .giving it to only about 30. The final number of students who will be given aid depends on the amounts they need: according to Mr. Chapman, this can vary from $50 to $4,000. If it were not for Kirkland's financial limitations, Miss Walker feels, "next year's class would be the best Kirkland has had so far. It will still be a very good class," she adds.

- Comment BY MARIA ZAMMIT No fan cy r hetoric. No e�o tiona-lly-charged catch-phrases. No, not even a plea on behalf of life, Galleys, co nstit utional rights, human wastage or per sonal conscience. A conscience cannot be imposed from without-each person must make his own decision and commitment from within. If the facts are not enough, there is no more that I can do.

So much for the basic facts of the case. Now, for the problems behind the cliarges.

0n o v e m,b e r 2 7 , 1 9 7 0, o n b e h a lf of ammendments to the Organized Crime Control Act of 19 6 9, J. Edgar Hoover announced �•an incipient plot on the part of an anarchist group". The "plot" en tails blowing up underground electrical conduits and steam pipes serving the Washington D.C. area in order to disrupt Federal government operations. Hoover also charged that this group is plotting to kidnap a highly -placed government official. The purpo se: to demand an end to U.S. bombing. His accusations took place before any formal charges were made.

The "principle leaders" of this plot are presently in jail for previous resistance to the government. For s o m e l o g i c a l reason it is known to be �xtremely diff icult to kidnap someone if the kidnappers are behind bars.

House _Representative Anderson charged Hoover with "t actics reminiscent of McCarthyism, using newspaper headlines and scare dramatics rather than due process of law". Anthony Scoblick and Father Joseph W e nderoth were indicted on a Federal charge of "conspiring to kidnap Henry Kissinger" an d blow up, the heating systems. Seven named co-conspirators include Father Daniel Berrigan. The trial is scheduled to begin early this fall. The New York Times claims that the indictment "is itself almost a conspiracy against sober reason." One c an point to several factors which separate the indictment from qtionality. Indeed, one could limo st laugh, if it wasn't for the ominous threat to civil liberties and the resistance -movement entailed in the Crime Control Act.

It i s a_w e l l-known f a c t t ha t t h e B e r r i ga ns a dvo cate non-violence as a means of change. Once this threat of violence is removed from kidnapping, there would be no point to it. Unless, of course, it is done to obtain the pleasure of Kissinger's company.

The conspi r a t o r s and co -conspirators have a scrupulous concern for life. Daniel Berrigan sent a tape to the Weathermen urging them to disavow destruction and terrorist tactics saying "no prindple is worth the sacrifice of a single human being". It-is highly unlikely that they would revert to those same tactics. The Berrigans do not lie. They issued a statement that the charges are "fabricated accusations". If for no other reason than their personal integrity, one is convinced of their innocence. If they_say th�t they did not do it, I am well-prepared to believe that they did not d6 it. One cannot separate the Harrisburg 13 t r i al from the issues of which it is a part¾ the Vi�t-N am war., conspiracy laws, repression, the resistance movement, etc. A Hamilt on/Kirkland Defense Committee in support of the H arrisburg 13 is being organized. I m m e d i at e pro j e C t s in cl u de a p u b I i Ci ry a n d fund-raising campaign in the Clinton/Utica.area with major emphasis directed to a mass rally in the fall.

"The social tax is a rip-off," Entertainment Student says Josh £hairman C o mmittee Simpson. The SEC hopes to solve the problem by offering the tax at the same or slightly lower price, but increasing admission prices without the social tax to exorbitant rates, ranging between $5 and $15. Under this system, students who have paid the social t'ax will get their money's worth without having to attend all of the concerts. However, these measures will effectively penalize severely those students who do not pay it. The SEC also wants to extend the new tax system to Kirkland. This would give Kirkland students an equal opportuµity to attend concerts. The SEC claims they do not need the additional capital for their $19,000 budget. They eliminate want to simply "inequities in the system" that

Anthology E"okes Affinities to Past I thought "An Anthology of Hamilton the from Poetry Literary Magazine 1866-1908" would evoke more ghosts than fee!ings. I do imagine young men riding horses, laboring over Greek manuscripts, and getting off on St. Jacob's Oil, yet more than differences, I feel affinities. I have been " . . weary (to-night} of striving and fearing" ("Sing to Me, Mother"), too often to criticize the corniness of that poem. Clinton and college are still the place and age of "The same sad, weary, endless questionings" ("To Edwin Booth").

The Steering Committee of Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges partially subsidized the costs of chartering a bus. Interests in the activities were low on the Hill. The bus tickets sold slowly and when it left for Washington late Friday night there were several empty seats, even though about ten Clinton residents were aboard. The 27 students on the bus freshmen, all were almost reflecting either Hamilton's apathy or the political weariness felt by many students who participated in last May's post-Cambodia demonstrations.

On co-educational dorms the report recommends that "the college explore with Kirkland the possibility of establishing co-ed once a rrangements" dorm "the· caref ully . considering identities of institution al · Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges." Other recommendations made by the Student Life Committee concern fraternities, fraternity standards;·and possible fraternity - closings, the expansion of Bristol off-campus Center, Campus housing, the abolition of "squatter.�s rights" in triples, and quads, and overcrowding. Dean DePuy spoke of the importance of this report and the limitations presented by financial difficiencies. He said that many of the Committee's proposals whic.h receive the Board's approval will have to be deferred for some time until the funds can be obtained. The report stresses the need for flexibility in the proposals suggested- an'd in improving the "s ocio-residential col lege's system."

Lacrosse Team Drops Two Season Record Now - 0-5

Plagued by injuries and adverse climatic conditions, the Hamilton lacrosse team notched two more def eats to bring their season record to 0-5. Both opposing teams were strong stickhandlers, and their strength at the midfield and attack proved to be the deciding factor, once again. the S a tur day , Last Continentals traveled north to face a strong, and much improved eleven. The field Clarkson conditions . were :i.nything but ideal, as six inch puddles and much mud covered the boggy field. Periods of freezing rain and snow also hindered the play of both teams. Clarkson opened the scoring on two fine goals from the attack and midfield, respectively. Fine e xcellent and passing, organization, overcame th� soggy conditions and Clarkson scored once again. Once more, only the fine goal tending of freshman Evan Lurie held down the score, turning back the hard shots of Clarkson's offense. Hamilton, however, showed

momentary offensive some brilliance uf its own, as Robby Minter added the first tally on a man-up �ituation. Receiving a cross-field pass from Bob O'Connor, Minter fired a hard shot which scittered on the wet ground past the Clarkson goalie. With the score at 3-1, play on the field became sloppy, as both teams were frustrated by the poor conditions of the field from playing good lacrosse. Clarkson managed two more scores in the half, but Hamilton's Harvey Knowles also added another making the score a respectable 5-2. Knowles, who has definitely been the morale strength of the team, isolated his defender, then beat him ,on a one-on-one situation, and fired the ball past the screened goalie. After· a short half-time, Clarkson began to show its superior ,-�trength, as the midfielders scored on many occasions. Combined with the strong attack, two of whom were e x cel l e n t box-lacrosse stickhandlers, there was little that could be· done by the

Continental's defense to stave off the offensive power. Much credit must be given to Mike Scarpitto and Mac Abbey for excellent defensive perfonnances. With the score 11-2 in the final quarter, however, Hamilton showed some fight netting two goals, one by Stu Pink and the other by Nat Follansbee. Throughout the entire game, Hamilton its never lost composure, and although the the one-sided, was score Continentals played very well. The final score was 11-4. Unfortunately, this could not be said of Hamilton's encounter on Wednesday with Ithaca here at home. It was a lackluster performance, with the exception of the first quarter. Goals were netted by Pat Neary, and Ed Hoe, but the final outcome was 22-2 in favor of Ithaca. Morale is at a new low, and hopefully the Continental lacrosse team will rise for Saturday's game against Sienna, a team which Hamilton has a chance of beating.

A meeting today among students, admini s t r a t io n a n d S e rvice Systems continued discussion of further options. Hamilton students may elect to dine at fraternities. They may also choose the 19-meal-a-week plan presently in operation or may opt for a IO-meal plan which would include lunch and dinner on weekdays. There will be approximately $100 per year difference in cost between the two Service Systems plans. The. monetary difference is slight because the food service is presently able to operate at a low cost because of missed meals and

the low cost of breakfast. A 1 0-meal p l a n would eliminate much of this saving and necessitate a higher t h an proportional board charge.

Pending an official approval by the Board of Trustees of Columbia University in early June, Hamilton Vice President and Provost Paul D. Carter will assume the position of Executive Vice President for Administration of the University. He would take on the responsibility early this summer. Under the new administrative structure of the University headed by President William J. McGill, Mr. Carter would be responsible for all administrative affairs of the University, while the Executive V ice President for Academic Affairs, Mr. Theodore deBary would h a n d le· all academic matters. The two will work c l o s e l y t o ge t h e r whenev er possible. Mr. Carter was offered the position earlier this year, and officially made his decision this w eek. He said, "Only after arduous considerations could I make the decision; my affection and loyalty to both institutions is so great." Hamilton President John W. Chandler wrote in a memo to the Hamilton Faculty and Staff, "Mr. Carter's stay at Hamilton has been marked by unusual devotion to the: �oll.:ge and sp!end"d performances as an executive and administrator. I am sorry indeed to see him go�" Kirkland President Samuel F. Babbitt said, "I am a staunch supporter of Mr. Carter. He operated very effectively between the two colleges." At present, the College has not announced plans for a successor to Mr. Carter's position. Mr. Carter said, "I cannot think of another post that could

As of now, 300 Hamilto� students have, in filling out their registration forms, opted for paying a social tax of $30.00. This will entitle them and their dates to free admission to all committee sponsored concerts and programs. Simpson explained that the ticket price reduction this year, and especially in previous years, has hardly been a reduction at all. "The social tax payer has been taken advantage of. He has not been getting a fair deal," he said. For most events, the general admission ticket cost only two or three dollars more than one bought by a social tax payer. Even

- Comment -

:ED>ITO::R.IA..L.S · Admissions

The newspaper went to press early this morning before today's Assembly Meeting. If the issues we write of have been resolved, all for the better, but we feel obligated to comment on the content arid conduct of Monday's meeting. Admissions policies established by the Kirkland Assembly have been blatantly disregarded. A source from the Admissions Policy Committee stated that certain individuals took it upon themselves to admit certain students to the College. Assembly policy states that application folders are to be read by at least three members of the Admissions Policy Committee and that the folders of minority group students are to be read by all members of the c0mmittee. In a report to the Assembly, President Babbitt stated his opinion that procedures passed by the Assembly for admitting minority students have not been followed by the committee. A mockery is being made of Kirkland's government if its policies are being igno�ed. If the situation calls for a change in policy, let facts be submitted to the Assembly, and let alternate proposals be made to establish a viable and fair policy. When a member of · the Admissions C ommittee pointed out that proper procedures were not being. followed, she, and not the admissions policy, was attacked. Black students were misdirected ih using the· floor of the Asseqibly to conduct a stand-up trial focusing on pers�nalities, not a positive change of existing policies. We hope the Assembly will be a forum of constructive change and process, not meaningless ar..d fruitle·ss accusations.

Co-ed Housing At its last meeting the Hamilton . Student Senate passed a motion to send a memorandum · to Mr. Grout expressing support for the idea of coed housing, but suggesting that such a system not be implemented next fall. The arguments raised in favor of the resolution were: 1) that implementing coed housing arrangements now would involve displacing Hamilton students, especially those with 'squatters' rights to new rooms and 2) that such an action would.be unfair a n d ex post facto since rooming assignments have already been made. While we recognize that reorganizing rooming assignments during the summer wuuid upset some students, we disagree with· the validity of the Senate arguments. The fact is that no rooming assignments at Ham ilton are permanent until the b e ginning o f t h e fall s e m e s t e r . Furthermore, those students who filled out rooming applications this sprmg were completely aware that rearrangements of rooms might have to be made in the event that coed housing became · a reality. Students were asked on their application if they desired to live in a coed dorm and on which campus they would do so. For these reasons we do not believe that the Senate took the right action in sending the memorandum. Mr. Grout has indicated that he will be glad to comply with the Senate's

suggestion. We understand his reaction, for it would save him from the unenviable task of sending out letters advising students of a change in their rooms. However, the fact remains that everybody knew before now that this might happen. It is unfortunate that the Senate Housing Committee never officially stated just where students involved m coed housing would be roomed. Such an explanation would have allowed students to make their roomirig choices while aw4re of what rooms could be affected. The Housing Committee was established to give students a share in decisions regarding rqoming. With coed housing an important issue this semester ( i.e. the results of student polls) the Committee did not offer any proposals for implementing a rooming arrangement. Such inaction represents an obvious failing i n d i scharging a responsibility to the students. It is a shame that the Committee's inaction led to the Senate's recent memorandum.

Advisors The Standing Committee on Academil­ and Curricular Affairs submitted a motion to the Kirkland Assembly that does not adequately deal with the problems of a d v i s i n g on s t u d e n t i n i t iated concentrations. The proposal establishes an Advisory C o·m m it t e e o n St ud en t Ini t ia t ed Conce n t r ations that- --reviews student proposals for concentrations and transmits in writing its review to the student. The student's proposal is supposed to be a result of consultation with her "advisor and relevant faculty m�mbers." Unfort unat e l y , SCACA's motion provides student initiated- majors with a validating review board they do not need and fails to provide a much needed advisory system. We believe that a positive st�p would be the establishment of an advisory board for student initiated majors. Such a board would include faculty members from all divisions and would serve in lieu of the student's advisor in cases of inter-disciplinary study. Members of the board could provide the student with advice and opinions in the different areas of her interest and would be of great interest in aiding her in the designing of the maJor. Student initiated majors are not the only area in need of advisory change. The relationship between the advisor and advisee needs clarification. In addition, the pos1t10n of the advisor in okaying a student's schedule must be defined. Is the advisor's signature necessary for the student to pursue a course of study or is the. advisor there only to offer his opinions? We urge the Assembly to consider our proposal carefully and to initiate further study of Kirkland's advising system.

Bye Bye Well, dear readers, this is it, the last issue of the Spectator till next fall, unless something tremendously dramatic pries us out of studying for final exams and a long summer rest. We have ex pended our budget and ourselves, and could not put out another issue without going into debt, but \Ye look forward to next year.

At their meeting of May 8, the Hamilton Alumni Council passed a motion by a 12 to 10 vote to finance free Spectator subscriptions for all Hamilton Alumni. The plan would operate for one year, at which time response from alumni would be evaluated. The plan would be financed through funds raised by the Council and would not affect other alumni publications. Such a step would be a dramatically forward move for the College, the alumni and the

Spectator.

Objections to the plan take two forms; the first is economic. .l\1oney raised by the Alumni Council is given over to the College without restrictions to its use, so to finance the plan, the College must give the money over to the Council for its use. The Spectator�� offering the subscriptions practically at cost, anticipating financial benefit through the increase in advertising rate and volume that accompanies an increase in circulation. To charge the normal subscription rate to all alumni would put the price well out of the range of the Council or College. Some Council members pointed out that last year, the College asked the Council to raise $220,000, an increase of $40,000 over donations of the previous year. The Council raised $250,000. At last week's meeting, some alumni felt "entitled" to approximately $6,000 to spend on what they considered a "worthy endeavor". One member suggested that the increased exposure to goings on at the colleges would lead to increased alumni giving. The second group of objections deals with the relevancy and appropriateness of the Spectator being sent to all alumni. Everyone praises the Hamilton Alumni Review as a publicatipn of the highest quality, and some feel the Review i� a proper and sufficient news organ for alumni, but the Review does not and cannot serve a function so directly reflective of issues, events, and opinions of people at the College as does the Specta�or. The motion passed by the Council reflects a strong and healthy desire that alumni be informed of the day to day goings on of the Colleges. It is an indication that alumni do not want two schools; one for them arid one for us. Rather, they would like to be aware of the real, living, ongoing and even controversial affairs of the College. Is the Sp�ctator "too much" for the alumni as some claim? Is it dangerous for the college to send it out? I believe no one is ashamed­ of the College or the achievements of its students, faculty, administration, trustees or alumni. I belie.ve no one should lose faith in or withold support of the College when they read that such things as disagreements exist on the Hill, but rather would take added · interest in a-changing institution. Alumni apparently want to see the college as a place where things happen,- not as a place where things have happened. They want to see a vital, active, and socially aware institution. I hope the administration will not hamper what the Alumni Council and the Specuztor consider positive, productive steps to inform alumni of the affairs of the c�llege. Fredric Axelrod

The audience loved him because he was good, but probably most of all because he was original. Also, I'm told he was very sexy.

lf it is possible, the Down City Ramblers were better this year than they were last year. They were perfectly tight, and their energy and exuberance brought everyone alive as usual. Their former lead acoustic guitar player played a dazzling fiddle and mandolin. They are a joy to watch. The favorite of the evening had to be Bertilla Baker from SUNY at Albany. She played acoustic guitar and sang. Her guitar playing was more than adequate, but mostly she sang. And she is the best female vocalist I've ever seen. I really don't know how to describe it. She glowed with energy. An audience could fall in love with her smile and stage style alone, but with her voice, she was Her hypnotic. cape/la a arrangement of"Sometimes I Feel a L i k e Mothe rless Child/Motherless Children" was incredible. Musically, it was .flaw less and her range was impressive. The music that you can't nail down, the music that emanated from somewhere inside of her, paralyzed me. It hurt my chest and made my eyes water. She can sing the blues as well as Tracy Nelson of Mother Earth, and her emotional depth puts her in a class with Joni Mitchell. I'd rather listen to her than Judy Collins or Laura Nyro, but to compare her to other female vocalists won't explain it. Nothing would, really. You had to be there. Some things Bertilla said during intermission indicated that she was not at all accustomed to audiences that give her standing ovations and call her back twice. Though she doesn't seem to be the type of performer who will ever expect that kind of reception, she will probably grow quite familiar with it. One reason the quality of this year's folk festival was markedly higher than in previous years was that it was not limited in any way to amatuers or students. Next year, with a likelihood of more prize money, the Hamilton Folk Festival could be an amazing event. However, as our spring festival becomes an established happening among folk musicians, it could cease to be a chance for amateurs to play for a go od audience. We have to decide which we want.

Penney Art Exhibit Reveals Artistic Independence

By Roman Tybinko Squeezing between people room by room, at a party in Mr. Penney's home, I was halted at the back of Mr. Bill Palmer, also a notable artist. He was stressing a point to another guest. "The artist is the most patient man in the world," he said. "He is continually knocking his head against a stor.1e wall in search of something that just doesn't exist. You can't expect him to visualize end of a painting, because he doesn't remember how he began in the first place. Experience is his only means to an end, and his experience is constant work!" I've witnessed the patience and the procedure in the development of a few of Mr. Penney's paintings now hanging in his show at the Root Art Center. The very feeling of always coming to an end but never arriving is hidden beneath their thick, textured impasto and fluid brush strokes. I saw the

'� Taste of Honey" Is Partial Success

A Taste of Honey by Shelagh Delaney op5!ned m the List Building on May 6th at 8:00 P.M. The play by virtue of its script, would be a difficult endeavor for a ny group of thespians, professional or amateur, to produce. In lieu of this, the Kirkland and Hamilton students did a fairly good job. The beginning started off slowly with the lines being delivered too rapidly and the energy level too low. Fortunately, this did not last for long and we soon found ourselves engrossed in the action of the play. One of the turning points occurred when Jim Ragland made his first entrance as the debonair, eye patched bon-vivant. Although physically miscast in his part, Jim managed to establish a character which provided comic relief. Jane Balzereit's rendition of the song "Bye Bye Blackbird"�was amusing and well done. At tfmes we felt her portrayal of Helen was not strong enough to overshadow her own personality. F r e d· G o e h n e r 's

the of C h a r a c t er ization homosexual friend was a refreshing one. He avoided resorting to the stereotyped and hackneyed limp- wristed fag image. Some of the most outstanding scened in the play occurred between Fred and Kate Jones. Kate's portrayal of Jo was for the _most part very good. One of her hardest and most effective scenes was at the end of the play. If not played properly, the scene could have appeared hopelessly melodramatic. However, both Kate and Jane succeded in portraying the forced reunion between mother and daughter very effectively. As an overall comment, the British dialogue seemed to bog down the actors. This could easily have been avoided by slight ·cuts or rewriting in the script. Last but not least, Peter Ackerman's and c o m p osition m us ic a l arrangement lent the proper mood and atmosphere to the play. Donna Sontheimer Claudia Berk

Profs Colby, Jamison To Hold Appointments

President Samuel F. Babbitt announced that William Jamison, acting Chairman of the Humanities Division, will lead a special committee to conduct a self-evaluation of Kirkland in preparation for the college's expected accreditation in 19 72-73 At the same time President Babbitt announced that associate profe ssor comparative of literature Ursula J. Colby will become Chairman the of Humanities Division. Both her appointment and that of Jamison, who also holds the academic rank of associate professor of English, are effective July 1. Kirkland will be evaluated for accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools during the 1972-73 academic year. Jamison's group will be known as the Steering Committee for the Self-Evaluation Project. Its work will lead to a comprehensive and descriptive document on Kirkland to be presented to the Middle States Association. 'vr'he College is fortunate in being able to draw not only on Professor J1.mison's considerable academic range, but also on his recent experience as editor at a leading publishing house,"

President Babbit said. "I al'h grateful to him for agreeing to take on this task, and for the dis.tinction with which he has led the Humanities Division. "It is equally a pleasure to announce the appointment of Mrs. Colby. As one of Kirkland's charter faculty, and as Chairman of a number of important committees, she has already had a strong influence on the direction of the College." Jamison, � graduate of the University. of a nd Princeton Pitt sburgh University, came to Kirkland last fall after seven years as a senior editor at Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston. From 1946 to 1963 he was on the , faculty of the University of Rochester. In addition to teaching English at all levels at Rochester, he organized and administered a part-time M.A. progra,m for teachers who could not afford to spend a year in full-time study. He is the author of Arnold and the Romantics, a book-lingth study of Matthew Arnold's criticism of the English romantic poets. Colby began teaching· at Kirkland in 1968. Earlier she taught for 10 years at Barnard College, and then at Syracuse University and Utica College.

Carr Dominates Track Scene For Four Years

Follansbee Nets Four In Continental Defeat

BY TIMOTHY DELANEY Much of a college's life depends upon its diversity. Within Hamilton there are many small worlds; more than the individual could ever know in four years. Each has its own qualities, its own conflicts, and its own heroes. This y ear, Thomas Carr received the Gelas Memorial Prize "for the senior who has shown the greatest development in strength o f character", leadership, and athletic ability during his college days." It is the first time the award has been given to a t r a c km a n; it represents the culmination of one of the finest i n dividual running careers at Hamilton. Tom Carr. presently holds the one, the two,· and the three mile school records. Although his best mile mark is 4:14.2, set against Union on May 11, he hopes to attain a 4: 10 mile very soon. He is constantly working towards this goal. With the aid of coach Gene Long, Carr set a rigorous training schedule that carried �im through the winfer and into the Spring with _the 4:10 goal in mind. Th,e frigid Sage Rink and a rainy Spring not withstanding, he has kept to that schedule. In addition, he has run the mile, 880, and mile relay in every outdoor meet, and has gone undefeated in the 111ile. When Carr broke his own standard of 4:17; set in his sophomore year, no one was near him. He is his own runner, and his own man. Carr's future plans include graduate work in teaching at Brown University. He is a resident
