Kirkland upperclassmen were foiled this week in their attempts to get into their rooms before today, which Dean of Student Affairs Jane Poller had set in August letters to students as the first day on which they would be permitted to move into the dormitories. Poller advised the Kirkland womei:i to request special permission if they wished to come before today. Many Kirkland students, however, accustomed to lax f;!nforcement of such deadlines in the past, were surprised and exasperated when Linda Patrick, the new assistant dean of student affairs, refused to permit students with mounds of luggage and stereos to move in early. According to Patrick, some of those students whose requests to come up early were denied still came into the Student Affairs Office this week, expecting to be allowed into rooms, and some had ignored the letter altogether. she said. Besieged by angered students and preoccupied with· orientation activities, the new dean began to refuse students admissions to dorms without regard for extenuating circumstances. She was found shouting at 1 a student and _closing conversation "-by retreating to her -office 'and slamming the door.. Students who had not received the letter, either because they had been traveling· this summer or for other reasons, were reportedly denied room keys, along with the rest. Some people who had received special permission to come up this week said that they found it extremely difficult convincing the dean that they had received such special permission. In retrospect, it appears that Dean Poller should have specifically advised students thaf although they were able to move into their rooms in past years despite rules to the contrary, such would not be the case this year. Students, having received an opportunity to request advance permission, should have, in all prudence, written to the deans. Dean Patrick's rigid stance, however, and her inability to calmly cope with the business, albeit somewhat unusual, of her office, strikes a distinct contrast to the manner in which one expects a college administration to operate.

Adler For All

The Adler Conference, the Hamilton symposium held last w;eek which included Kirkland representatives, offered a valuable opportunity for students, faculty, and administrators to share their personal reactions to life on the Hill, while discussing a number of the issues whi�h the college now face. --- Unfortunately, only 70 people were accomodated by Adler at the Mohawk Lodge in the Adirondacks, which offered a secluded and leisurely setting fot the conference. While not destroying the intimacy of Adler, which is one of its principal assets, the standing conference committee should investigate varim�s means of expanding the symposium so as to include more people. Holding the conference at a religious retreat instead of a commerical hotel would save the committee money, which could be used to sponsor more than one conference a year. Similarly, Adler Conferences could be held more than one a year in and around the Hamilton presidential mansion. Offering significant reductions in1 cost, more people could attend, while the purposeful tenor of the conference, held · away from the beaten path of the two campuses, would be preserved.

Homecoming

By VINCENT DiCARLO Many of those returning to the· Hill for the last time as undergraduates have experienced what will be to some an entirely inexplicable feeling. They feel as though they are coming home. At this point the (admittedly few) pillar-of-the-campus types may be murmuring something about "community" or "best years of your life" in unison with nostalgic alumni. Fellowship or good times, however, could never produce the distinct sensation of coming home that is associated with a return to the Hill. Emotions have a logic of their own and in order for a place to evoke the kind of reverence it must have been associated with an event of enduring significance. The scene of past sa,tisfactions, real O.!'° imagined, may produce wistfulness, ·regret,, longing, or any of the other feelings associated with the term "nostalgia," but the link between a person and his home can never be generated out of the mere accumulated weight of such stirrings. As a member of the class of places connected with the beginnings of things of continuing importance, the home has a special status because it is the place where the person himself began. As citizens, the most revered places are those of the beginnings of our• nations, as members of a religion, those where the faith began, as representatives of aµ ethnic group, those where our ancestors first �merged as a distinct racial group. As individuals, we revere most the place of our own beginning, that is, our home. For many, that place of origin is the college. The actual beginning has been termed an· "identity crisis," a "self-discovery," a "realization of potential." It has sometimes been confused with the

accumulation of information or the development of intellectual powers. However, this beginning is not a discovery of a previously existing thing or the development of the mental faculties. It. i!! a creation . in .the only sense that merits the term. It is a "coming into being." When the new college student, 1deprived of his· accustomed emotional props and realizing that the course his life takes will soon unalterably be set in · the direction that he alone must decide, looks into himself for guidance concerning the choices facing him, h i s f irst s e r i ous i ntrospective gaze discloses ... nothing. It is not that he cannot see. There simply is nothing to be seen. If a crisis is a situation that compels a response, then the "identity crisis" is not misnamed: The knowledge that if a person is to have a central set of principles that gives rational( coherence .to his actions, he must himself rcreate it, iroduces the sort of anxiety that will not be relieved until either such a set of rationalizing principles is established or the knowledge of their lack is obliterated. Thus, college becomes in a more than poetic sense ti!_e _alma mater, for it is the place where the persona· that will give rational structure to all future behavior is initially fashioned. As the place where that which gives unity and identity to a human being is born, college becomes the home of the individual as a pe:r;son, in other words, the home of the soul. When a returning senior feels as though he were coming home, he is right. This is due less to the good times and intellectual rewards of academe than to the dark moments of isolation and despair when he wondered, not who he was, but into whom he would make himself. 1

Adler

By JANE POLLER Communications between faculty, students, and administrative staffs at Hamilton and Kirkland is, 'at best, limited. There are few "excuses" for informal contacts among the groups mentio�ed. fu class contact, joint committees and activi­ ties and shared facilities help facilitate contact-but they're not enough. Two colleges which have a coordinate relationship have a strong and vested interest in one another. As we work in our capacity of faculty mamber, administrator or student, it is often in isolation from one another. The opportunity for members of both college communities to take the time to a) get to meet and know one another b)

discuss current issues on both campuses and c) look at long-range plans or needs toge ther e xammmg, evaluating and implementing ideas and programs is what \ · Adler is/was all about. My reactions to Adler are two-fold: On the experiential level, as a ·participant, I found the -conference to be a valuable opportunity to explore perceptions and issues that are relevant to my work as Dean of Student Affairs at Kirkland. Our two student bodies have a number of shared and complementary concerns. At Adler, we had an opportunity to listen to one another and talk out supposed differences. The oft-ref ered to iron curtain between the two campuses was not evident. Through shared written and verbal -s t atements� policies and institutional philosophies were explored in a factual rather than rumor-based manner. The

steering committee display�o. a 6Teat time investment and a sense of responsibility in the amassing and distribution of many key documents �d statements. Risk-taking occurred as people shared their skepticism as well as constructive ideas about our coordinate college relationship. In introductory comments and in the topical format, K i rkla n d ' s p re n e nce and participation in the conference was taken seriously. On a second level, I must raise practical questions. While I favor and encourage incr eased i n fo r m al communications between members of the two college communities, I think the costs and scheduling of Adler and the selection process must be dealt with. Five thousand three hundred dollars was spent on 67 people for a two-day peiod · of time. If Adler was to occur in a local setting, many more people could participate at a much

more reasonable cost per person. • Futher, the conference occurs at a most difficult time for many of us; faculty m e m b er, administrators and student advisors had to, in several instances, come later, leave early, or totally withdraw from the conference due to schedule conflicts. New students arrived on Thursday, Sept. 5, while Adlers was still in session. Most of the Kirkland delegates had to leave a day early - a situation we all regretted, but nonetheless were forced into if we were· to meet our primary responsibilities as advisors and deans. I suggest a late August ·or mid-fall week-end as an alternative time for Adler to be held. For the most part, my reactions to Adler were generally postivie. Those people who went to Adler must ·somehow reinforce the expereince and integrate their individual ideas into the day-to-day workings of the two colleges.

Although "Sp'ellbound" is one of Alfred Hitchcock's best films, it is quickly able to involve and maintain the interest of the audience. · Throughout the film, Hitchcock's uriique biend of the f e a r f u l and the c om i c a l demonstrates his own directorial genius, while reaffirming his unquestioned title of Master of Suspense,· The film, which was released in 194 5, may not be entirely plausible in its plot, but the combination of the acting, the supernatural scenery, and the ha unt i n g m us ic make "Sp ellbo und" a thoroughly enjoyable movie. · Starring in the film are Gregory Peck as a psychotic amnesiac who assumes the identity of an asylum dir�ctor, and Ingrid Bergman, a psychiatrist who tries to help Peck regain his memory. The amnesiac becomes , quit«: confused and fearful in his new role as director; he loses his sense of reality and begins to fantasize uncontrollably. Some of the best scenes of the movie are contained in these dream sequences, which we�; �ividly designed by Salvador Dali. However, even though the plot and t ht s ce n ery are both u_nrealistic, "Spellbound" is a surprisingly sensible movie. Since it is one of the first films to directly explore · the field of psychoanalysis, Hitchcock favored a truthful approach with a reluctance to become too creative. O ne m�ht think that a Hitch co ck film which deals

directly w i t h psychoanalysis would be very loose and wildly imaginative. Sadly, this is not the case. The film often falls short of greatness because parts of the script are loaded down with dialogue. When Hitchcock is at his best, the master depends mostly upon purely yisua1 cinema; in "Spellboum,1" however, he pays too much att-ention to words

rather than action. Still, e ven· though it is somewhat flawed, ''Spellbound" is an exciting and entertaining movie. Clearly, Hitchcock is an �xp e r t f i l m m aker, and his inimitable technique of directing a film makes almost anything of his worthwhile.

Academic life on the Hill has always be-en hard, but one can't a l w ays engage i n m en t a l gy m n a s t1es. Th e community offers organized a c t i vities, f a cilities, and other leisurely exercise. Many students frequent the gym. There is a universal gym, which is a good workout. Pick-up games on the basketball courts are always in progress. Usually the squash court and tennis courts are crowded. In addition, badminton is available. Time schedules should be posted in the gym.

Pennant Fever FEINGOLD AND SHOEN There's pennant fever in at least eight cities in the American and National leagues right now. Players are acting more confident now, assured of their abilities, and managers talk about taking this"series three out of four and that series two out of three etc. All of a sudden the schedule that was '1ust beginning" after being played three months byJuly is all too important. But the biggest sign. of pennant fever is not found in a team's clubhouse or on its bench. It is found in the stands. Fans who could afford better seats sit in the grandstands just to get a better view o! the scoreboard- The most important man at the stadium is the scorekeeper who keeps track of the scores at other ballparks. There are oohs, ahs, boos, cheers, and riots (notover the action in the Rlaying field but over a few numbers on the scireboard). T.he pennant fever that plagues many ballparks now is t.Jie first sign that the Great Plan put into effect in 1969 �sworked-up to its full potential. Up until ndw the only r1eal pennant races under the Plan were the perennial Cincy-L.A. battles and the Mets rise every mayoralty election year in New York City. This month there will be twice as many arguments in the bars. as ever before. Even the powerful Oakland A's can slump and imd themselves fighting to stay alive with the Royals and/or t;he Rangers. The great pennant races (pre Great-Plan) usually consisted of two or three teams in one league fighting it out (mainly because the Yankees clinched it by Labor Day). Now you can find eight, nine, oreven ten teams battling until October One. Since professional baseball as will as any sport is a big business, the main idea of the sports moguls is to get as many fans as possible in the ballpark. Fans go to th� ballpark· only when their team can possibly win (unless they're giving away bats). San Diego does not get as many fans in September as they do in M_ay when McCovey is exciting and the Padres are only six out.· The idea is to get as many teams as possible into playoff contention. The old idea of baseball · was that the World Series should be played between the "two best" teams. With the growth of football, basketball, and hockey the idea of the ''best" has changed considerably. The best team is the team which can play under pressure, the team that can win the "second season" be it the NFL playoffs, Stanley Cup playoffs or whatever. The Celtics of the 50's and 60's rarely won their division title, but they slaughtered every team that faced them in the playoffs - they were "'the best". Baseball, being the oldest of all professional sports is the most conservative. It took decades before the higher-ups adopted -the views of other, younger organized sports. The reserve - clause won't be gone until the Rozelle rule is long buried. But when it comes to more money the owners can move slightly faster than their normal snail's pace and· that's why there is talk now of adopting a basketball-type playoff setup as early as next season where thJ two top teams in each division will enter the playoffs. Theoretically, this means that each team in each division will be fighting playoff spot in September. That means each city in the majors can be infected wi� pennant fever which means that each ballpark will be packed with beer-happy, concession attending fans which means... ·money. Too bad it took the 1973 Mets to make baseball realize all this.

He entered the camp as the starting rookie at offensiv.e guard. But this was at the start of the NFL player strike. With mostly rookies filling the dep leted ranks qf all the pro _squads, Hewitt saw pre-season action on the off�nsive line. But he asked the coaching staff to be switched back to his defensive position. At defensive tackle Hewitt seems small compared to Cowboy regulars. Jeff did well in the pre-season and his chance came in . a pre-season game against the Houston Oilers. Hewitt won the starting position, after coming off the· bench and assisting on sacking the Oiler quarterback, and also went head to head against John Cappaletti at the goal-line and stopped the Oiler back dead. Hewitt started the next game playing next to the immortal Bob Lillv.

Preseason _Viewing Late August and\ early September have seen a steady flow of people to the Hill. Most of the early-comers seemed to have a mission. Kirkland students were seen besieging the student affairs Qffice. And with the start of the Adler Conference, a hardy band of Hamilton athletes were bastioned on campus. A training table was set up in Commons. The dining room was . divided between the football team and everyone else. But it was still Commons and Commons food. But all the players, with only enough energy-to eat, appreciated the waitresses serving dinners. The football team has a new coach. Bob King is rebuilding a team that has seen only one win in two years. King seems to be determined in his work. The players also are determined. The team has given the weight machine a rugged worko-ut in the morning these past few weeks. Afternoons and evenings, players and coaches sp�nd their time between the practice field, the gym, and Commons. - People should not rush their evaluations about gridiron performace. The schedule has �ome tough opposition, with the first conflict against Franklin & Marshall, one of the toughest. The cross country team can be seen just about anywhere. They are constantly on the run around campus and off in the glens. They were always seen running in the rain early last week, but they don't seem to be under the weather. Gene Long's runners seem t� enjoy their work. They are also- very efficient. They should be out front again in'the running for New York State. Soccer is progressing. Freshmen are beginning to trickle into the ranks of the squad with the start of orientation. They should fare well this year, but one never knows how well. A few injuries have Iesulted from collisions and other mishaps that always accompany pre-season training. A few of the fallen have been seen hobbling· around campus with canes: Many of those still standing complain of assorted tight muscles, hard workouts, and other disabilities. All in all, there �hould be something to look forward to after all the preparation.

Dean Lindley Declines Release of Minutes

People You Should Know · fhe Spectator's recent request for minutes of the traditionally closed meetings of the Hamilton faculty, the principal governing body of the college, was made in the int.erest of better informing students and other sectors of the colleges of faculty actions and questions under their consideration. In this light, Acting Dean of the College Dwight Lindley's response, made in consultation with President Carovano and Provost. Eugene Lewis, is puzzling. The acting dean explained that for the minutes to be made public, they would have to be diluted to the point of making them unimportant. However, in the minut.es of the May 21 faculty meeting, which The Spectator obtained this week, there was little that could be called controversial. The minutes included a report from then Dean of the College St.ephen Kurtz, a report from Chris Covert, director of admissions, and remarks and announcements by President Carovano. Reports of arguments, feuds, or any sort of provocative discussion, if they occurred at the meeting, were already expurgated from the minutes. The Spectator does not question the faculty's right to the occasio11al retreats to confidentiality of which Lindley spoke. However, there seems to be little justification, other than a reliance on club habit, for the Hamilton faculty to refuse to release reports of its regular business. Withholding of the minutes apparently does not serve to prot.ect faculty from embarrassment or controversy, but seems only to stymie complete and responsible news coverage of the faculty .

. Bus Blunder

Utica Mayor Edward Hanna's decision to cut suburban bus service to five villages outside of th� city, including Clinton, will cause consi�erable inconvenience to students and other Hill people who do not own cars and depend upon the buses for traveling into Utica. Although Hanna's decision appears to be fiscally prudent for the city, he has acted hastily, threatening the five villages with the bUl'den of subsk;lizing the bus service themeselves. Clinton Mayor Harlan Lewis said that the charges presented to his village were unreasonable and exaggerat.ed. Mayor Hanna, who has built a reputation for behaving impetuously, . would have done better to investigat.e possible sources of federal or state transportation subsidies, in coop�ration with Oneida County Executive Wi)Jiam Bryant and the five village mayors. IY the search for sµbsidies proved fruitless, then Hanna would have been forced to take the then only reasonable alternative: cut bus service unless the vill�s could find the money to support it. As it stands now, however, Hanna has evoked concern by bus-riders here, and has sparked a scramble for government subsidies by the village mayors and Bryant in order to mee-t a Hanna deadline.

Orientation & Thanks To the Editor: As a member of the Kirkland Orientation and Handbook Committee, I am writing to express deep personal thanks to all of those who helped to make th is fall's orientation an incredibly successful one. Primary gratit4..de (and respect) must go to the entering freshwomen (and men) of the two campuses, the transfer students, and special students. They arrived with an enthusiasm and energy level that excited and stimulated all of us. Their attendance rate at our planned activities, their questions and feedback, all showed evidence of a group of men and women who have much to gain from and give to the Hill community. Additional (and very heartfelt) thanks to the upperclass women and supporting staff who made each event possible, the orien tatiori staff (and others who volunteered on the spot) did .everything from flying kites to. driving the jitney . Many women worked incredible hours at thankless tasks in - order to make the new women welcome. The staffs of all the Hill offices added to that effort with their efficii;nt and friendly handling of the problems that cropped up. From. working directly with our program, I know that a walloping thanks is owed to the Kirkland Student Affairs Office. The entire program was conceived in communications with that office, and much of it was implemented through its patience and dedication. Jane Poller and Linda Patrick did an incredible job of trying to meet the needs of the new and returning students. The entire office staff is to be commended. I m u st r egis ter my extreme disappointment with last week's lead editorial-this was not the kind of welcome or thanks I had anticipated for the new assistant dean. Ms. Patrick knows, I hope, that -those of us with more complete knowledge and experience of orientation and residence policies do not share the sentiments expressed by the Hamilton students who wrote the piece. Their statement was in poor taste, in addition to being a very distorted version of the facts. The Student Affairs Office and the Residence Committee (as was stated in Ms. Patrick's statement in that same issue) had strong and pressing reasons for the action taken. It is not true that students with extenuating circumstances were turned aw ay. Ms. Patrick gave the same· personalized attention to each student's needs that has always been given ·by that office. I have the greatest respect for the job she has done since her arrival on campus. I would hope that students who objected to the policy concerning students returning early would communicate those sentiments to the Residence Committee. One lesson that we may have to learn from the new students stu dying their handbooks is that Kirkland governance is open and receptive to all of us. Policy cannot be blamed on "them," 'cause "them" is us. Patty Coleman '77

To the E ditor: In last week's issue of the the editorial addressed itself to the new residence policies. From the time of t.lie article it· would seem that the early returnees were the rule rather than the. exception. I would suggest that anybody who wishes to discuss the matter and the way the . violaters were handled go to Residnce ·· Committee meetings. I feel that the editors, instead of focusing on an issue concerning the minority rather that the majority, should have acknowledged if not welcomed the new students on campus. No mention of this year's orientation program - much less any friendly welcome from the editors was at all evident. As Chairperson o f K_irkland 's orientation program this matter concerns one greatly. The fact that a concerted effort was made on the part of the Deans' offices and old students to assist new students in their transition from home to school and explain to them the actjvities, organizations, and policies available to• them on the Hill was completely ignored which shows a lack of und erstanding in matters concerning students on the Hill. Instead of fostering and continuing the attempt to welcome and invite the new students to participate the editors of th.e in the community,

Joe Sisco in Washington-- 'A _Larger Duty' The Man ·who Said Yes; and No

The Presidential Search seemed to be over to all of those concerned when then-Assistant Secretary of State Joseph J. Sisco accepted the position and visited the campuses in . early December, 1973. Sisco had reportedly been wooed by the college for months, and when just several weeks later, the diplomat informed Hamilton that he had changed his mind and had decided to accept a promotion at the Qepartinent of State, disappointment, outrage, and surprise ran through the college community.The Search Committee reconvened and severaL months later chose then-Acting Pre�ident J.

Those Good Old . BuildingS' if carefully executed, will produce · one of the college's most interesting structures-. But new buildings are often absolµtely necessary. This does not prevent, however, their falling into harmony with the, rest of the campus. From one point of view, there is a difficulty in justifying the claim that the new library does not fit,.in with the style of the m� quad. The Quad really has no consistent style, at least with buildings as different as North and Kirkland, Carnegie and Root Hall, staring at each other across the grass.· The Burke Library It can be argued that the libTary, by virtue of its - scale and location, serves ·to unify and close off the north end of the quad, bridging the ·wide gap between North and Carnegie where a dwarfed Truax Hall formerly left ·a1_1 unbalanced area of empty space. It may also be a misjudgment to insist that in order to maintain a vague notion of unity iii campus architecture, all buildings on campus should be built out of the same material. Part of the beauty of a gradually built-up campus is the varying texture and color of the edifices. Such a stricture may even be

more of -a mistake when the required material, and a sense of mortality. Architecture is perhaps a college�s most �le rough-hewn sandstone, must- face a building to whose architectural style it may not be suited (as in expression of continuity.

'Personality UJnflicts' UtUse Literary Society Member Falloff

BY SUSAN MALKIN LIZ BARROW Creative tensiondeveloping into factionalism has been cited by many members and ex-members of Emerson Literary Society (ELS) as the reason for an abrupt d r�p i n t he fraternity's population. M e m he r s h i p f el l f r o m approximately fifty students in 1973 to thirty this year, said Engin Kevenk, president of ELS. Of the 21 upperclassmen who chose not to live at ELS fhis year, six left without giving any public reason. Kevenk said that people left ELS because they were "diverse to the extent that they 'r.ere not compatable. Nobody left because of antagonism." According to Trevor Drake,'75, the groups that existed in the house were never defined enough to be considered factions. Drake Disagrees Drake said people left the f r a t e r n i t y b�cause "The atmosphere of the fraternity was a little close and [some] wanted to get out because they were tired of not seeing a�y independents." The factionalism grew out of a diverse house membership, said Jack Levy '75, former ELS member. In the past, creative diversity and creative tension were part of the ELS "open-house -ideal,'' he said. However, last year, t he ·t ension g rew to ·such proportions that the diversity was no longer beneficial; according to

Levy. "Nothing got done,.. he said. The diversity in the fraternity body, -according to Dean of Students R. Gordon Bingham, was a result of " different perceptions in the orientation of ELS." "We accept anybody tllld everybody who's interested in the house with a few exceptions," said Kevenk. ''There was a great difference in lifestyles," said a student familiar with the house, "which r esulted in many personality conflicts." Many agr:ee that personality c o nflicts seemed to be the underlying cause of three of the rifts the house suffered last year. Fraternity Records Treasurer Rick Bryson found discrepancies in former treasurer Andy Heller's auditing of the h ou s e account s. H o w e ver, according to one ELS member, "Every penny was ultimately accounted for and the confusion a r o s e over Heller's personal accounting procedure. It was all Zioni st/Anti-Zionist distinction e x p l a i n e d t o e v ery one's was "m erely one way of, i d entify ing the pe ople on satisfaction." Howev<:r, the. house split into different sides." Some members members who supported Heller per ceive d_ t hat the Jewish and those who supported Bryson. population suppo;ted Heller while "There were no neutrals allowed," "in reality, it was both Jewish and said oµe member. Disput�g this, non-Jewish mixed.'' he said. Drake said people "didn't have to Individual Perception choose sides." "I felt no Zionist/Anti-Zionist Some members felt that an , sentiment,'' said Levy. He said anti-Zionist sentiment was the that he believes such distinctions basis for the attack on Heller. were based upon an individual B in g ham said t hat the perception of the situation.

Bryson's challenge of Heller led t o a "pitched battle between personalities," said Levy. "Heller felt his honor and integrity had been offended." Drug Bust The second incident-, further dividing the house, was a drug bust last February in .which

Bryson and his roommate, Mark ·Brandt, -- wer e arr ested and ultimately expelled from college. After the arrest there was an emergency meeting at which the members voted to put up $200Q. of the $8000 needed for bail, said Drake. It was understood that this tontinued on page nine

Schneider Now Research Vice-president BY ROBBY MILLER Carl J. Schneider, former dean of academic affairs at Kirkland, has returned from a recent six-month sabbatical to assume the post - of vice-presiden t of research and development. S c hn e i d e r d evoted hi s sabbatical to study of educational research and evaluation, with the objective of setting up a system of evaluation and assessment at Kirkland. This past year, Schneider attended various conferences 1ponsored by e d u ca t io nal ilstitutions studying "assessment 1ystems," and visited small colleges like Kirkland, such as Mmhattanville and New Rochelle in New York and Governor's State in Il l in o i s , w h i c h a r e experimenting with innovative evaluation systems. Schneider conducted a faculty o n i n s titu tional minar aaessment and evaluation here Aug. 30 along with Dr. Charles Meinert of the State Education Department's Bureau of College Evaluation.

"We really don't know for certain whether th'e Kirkland student's needs match up with the resources the college has to offer, and this is what we must examine and review," Schneider said. As vice president, Schneider said that he plans to develop an on-going system of self-study at Kirkland, the purpose of which will be threef old: "Clarify t he goals and objectives of the educational program at Kirkland; "Assess the (a) efficiency of the educational program; (b) the edu cational i m pact of the K i r kland experience on the

students; (c) the institutional environment-the intellectual, social, aµd cultural atmosphere of the college; "Establish a bank of data for use in academic planning, to bring informed judgment on questions of possible changes and to analyze s tr engths a n d w eaknesses, successes and failures." In commenting on his new position at the college, Schneider descnoed his role as "interesting" and said that it will give his "a chance to look at the educational p r o cess as a w hole while a c complishing something that needs to be done at Kirkland."

According to police reports, the informer called from a pay phone at ELS..This fact led to speculation about whether the informer was a member of ELS. ''I do not believe that the informer was somecme from the house," said Levy. Neither Bingham nor any of the house members interviewed knew the identity of the informer. "Whoever reported it decided the house or college treatment of t he situation would not be sufficient," said Bingham. "It is likely that th·e person who reported the two had a strong or weak conscience about what was going on, depending on your perspective," he said.

Take Notice Just · a tidbit here on the freshman football players on this year's football team. Last year Coach Bob King boasted that the freshmen would play a big role in the season's outcome. Last year they certainly co�tributed to the lost cause.· Now sophomores, these ba,llplayers are regarded as veterans-and rightfully so. This fall the class of '78 has something to brag about. A few predictions: S t e ve Hajae and Danny Waldron will see regular action in the backfield along with Charlie Marota and Jim Turner. The offensive line will be effective, mainly because of Stanley Foo, Tom Malta, and Mike Ricci; Don Sweet, John Brenman, and Tom Gashell will also see action. Chip Krausse may punt and will be a regular receiver for senior QB Rob

Winter ;r... freshman QB Tom La Fontaine. On defense, the situation is no different. Mark Marinelli and Phil Lowe stand an excellent chance of starting. Young Johny Alteri will adequ a t e l y s p ell co-,captains Newell and Ferris. Tony Scibelli and Dan Sweet can also play the p osition. Ricky Lee Mobley, Larry Campbell, Gary Klingaer and Mike Lengraisky will definitely bolster the secondary. Ed die Murphy, Chandler Stimmel, Lengraisky, and Sweet can play offense or defense. What more can be said? Maybe King can turn things around. One thing is certain, he can't do it without the class of '78.

By DAVID WOLLMAN The 1974 €:ontinental soccer team is much changed from a year ago. Having lost many players, this year�s team will mave many new faces. For�unately, many of last year's second string players have risen to the occasion and now fill the vacated spots. Coach von Schillerhas a lot- of freshmen talent but refuses to name anyone as having won a spot in the varsity. Unfor�ately. he doesn't have room for all of them and will have to make a decision· soon. Among the _ returning players are Dave Church, Phil Halpern. _ and Ned Drinker in the halfback lin e, and Ray Terepka,Chip Williams,- and Pete Follensbee on

the attack line. With � few freshmen to fill the- vacant spots, the team could look pretty good this year. T he· s o c s te r s s c ri mmaged Oswego last Saturday and showed that they still needed a lot of work. The team appeared out of sh ape in the early going lacking the necessary aggressivem;ss and teamwork. However, in the later periods they began to play better and won the contest rather easily. This past Wednesday the team

faced Morrisville, one of the top teams in New York State. The Continental s looked far better than in their previous contest and did a g ood job in holding M o r r is ville t o fo u r g o als. Unfortunately, they were unable to score and lost 4-0. As one p layer so aptly put it, "what can you do when you're outclassed?" The game was good experie:qce for the team and with continued improvem�nt, should have a fine season.

Tennis Team Loses to Cortland Hope to Develop Strong Doubles

NrbJy Asked Me But...

Yankee Folklore FEINGOLD AND SHOEN "... the only real game, I think, in the world, is baseball" Babe Ruth 4/27/47

The first thing I ever did when I was a kid was pick up a ball. It was a white sphere, with red laces, not oblong. We used to spend hours trying to get kids with mitts--anyone, so long as he had a mitt and had a friend to keep the sides even. We played on concrete, .asphalt-anything. My love for the American game was developed at a very early age. According to Lou Harris, America's favorite spectator sport is played by 22 guys with helmets. But to me, nothing compares with a 3-2 pitch, bases loaded, in the bottom of the ninth. I don't want to boast of a complete technical\ knowledge of football or basketball, but it doesn't take a Vince Lombardi to know that the Buffalo Bills are going to give O.J. Simpson the ball three out of four times or a Red Auerbach to know that Walt Frazier will be shooting in the closing seconds of a tight game. But who knows what the third base coach is doing when he rubs his nose, pulls his ear, and strokes his chin? Who could ever tell that a pitcher with a .471 winning percentage and a 3.78 ERA would not allow a single Brooklyn Dodger to reach first base in a World Series Game? Any player on any team on any given day can beat you in a variety of ways: with his bat, his glove, his speed, or his mind. Writers have written about baseball for decades. It.has become part of the American folklore with certain players (Cobb, Ruth,etc.)becoming legends. But it also allows a Bobby Thomson or a Sandy Amoros, men with limited abilities, to become a permanent part of the ever-growing legend. The excitement of football and basketball can almost always be compressed into the last three minutes · of_ the game. But the excitement, the electricity, of a game between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees lasts from first pitch to last. Even Frank Messer can make a game sound exciting. There's a mystique and beauty to a long double, a diving catch, a stolen base, a squeeze play, taking an extra base, -and breaking up a double play. A fan can get excited by a 4ard slider or a Ruthian swat and perhaps that is why baseball is so great-you get a little of this and something different in every game. I love baseball. I can't put my finger on the exact reason why. There are millions of words contained in the libraries across America and there are thousands more written every year-. But all these words put together still can't describe the excitement, beauty, and grace of the game. Perhaps Doris Day said it best when she sang: Take me out to the ballgame. 'Take me out to the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, ' I don't care if I never come back. For it's root root root for the home team, j/they don't win it's a shame Cause it's one two three strikes you 're out , , , , 1 At the old ballgame.

Ha milton tennis op ened Tuesday with a match against CortJand State. Cortland's record last year was 12-0 and they have been working out together this fall since Aug. 28. The match followed after only two workouts for Coach Batt's team. Cortland won it 6-3. We lost 5 of the 6 singles matches, four of them in just two sets. Only Dave Schutt, playing in the second position, was ·able to win a set. He won the second, after losing 6-3 in the

first. He lost the third however by the same score. The one singles point Hamilton scored was on Bob Worden's victory playing fourth. Bob was 12th on the team l as t y e ar, bu t remarkablee improvement during the summer moved him up eight slots� He blew his opponent ofrthe court, 6-1. 6-1. Part of Coach Batt's strategy is to concentrate on doubles. We dcm't have the big guns to sweep teams away in singles,'so he hopes to win through tight teamwork and smart play during doubles. Two of. the three doubles points went our way. Bob Wo�deri won

again, te'°amed with Dave Schutt in the second doubles. They stormed Flagg and Kresh of Cortland 6-2, 6-2. Tom Pirodsky, anotha greatly improved player, and Tom A JJen won t hi r d d o uble1 convincingly 6-3 in two sets. Coach Batt is optimisticabout. the s e ason. He has fifteen freshmen out for the team.

Editor's note: On February 15th, 1974, The Spectator announced that Kirkland College had decided to build four regulation tenni� courts and two platform tennis courts to be finished sometime this fall. At the beginning of the semester there was no evidence of courts or construction. Although bids were turned in by several contracters, the prices on the land construction . and construction of the courts themselves far exceeded the budget. William Jamison, ,Director of Institutional Affairs at Kirkland, released the following statement to the Spectator. We realize what inflation is doing to the economy, but also feel that the facilities are neede� now and hope to see their appearance in the near future.

Last spring plans were made to build four regulation tennis courts and two platfo� tennis courts on the Kirkland campus. When bids were received on this project, however, it was discovered that the cost of the project far exceeded the funds available. In order to make a start, a decision was made to build the two platform tennis courts. As soon as the site is prepared these coufts will be built. They should be in operation withll!._ a month. Plan n i ng for th� re&1:1lation courts\ continues, and it is hoped that a way can be found to proceed with this project in the near future. William A. Jamison

Couple Holds Kirkland Professorship By FELICE FREYER N�cy and Peter Rabinowitz, a married couple in search of more free time and the opportunity to live and work in the same community, have apparently found the ideal situation at Kirkland. Here, husband and wife are sharing both the title and salary of assistant professor of literature. "It just seemed the most reasonable thing to do," Mr. Rabinowitz explained. "We get to live in the same city." "The only reason it's not reasonable is that there's only one s al ary, b ut many American families live on_ one salary," said Ms. Rabinowitz. "It's difficult to' find two jobs in one city," she continued, noting that many college couples must commute in order to see each other on weekends. The Rabinowitzes had also hoped that sharing a teaching _ Nancy and Peter �abinowitz, who share a literature professorship position would allow them more find time occasionally for rides in ''This is what makes Kirkland exciting, but it is also what makes time to pursue outside interests the country and reading. and hobbies.

The Committee, which plans to recommend the best candidate(s) to Pre_sident Carovano by Dec. 1, expects to eliminate several of those candidates invited for the first round of interviews and then ask three to return for a second visit. It is expected that on the second round of interviews, the candidates will be exposed to other groups of students and faculty besides those on the Committee. Commenting on the first round_ of interviews, Yourtee said, •--rhey tend to be exploratory, both on the part of the candidate and the college." The Committee is still receiving applications for the position and is in the process of inviting another candidate to the Hill. Rexine, who is also professor of · classics and director of the division of the humanities at C o.lgate, has been with the university since I 9 5 7.

Football. in Fall With the advent of cool, autumn weather and having finally settled in for the semester, football arises now as an object of many people's attention. Although Continental football has had to sustain a couple of lean years, the players have been training hard and are looking forward to a successf¢ season. The Buff & Blue, counting on the strength of several veterans and a roster of inexperienced but eager freshmen, are slated· to face such small college powers as Hobart, Middlebury, and Franklin & Marshall Colleges, and long time rival, Union College. One does not have to be a football maniac, however, ·to enjoy a Continental game, for they are marked not only by the sport, but by the gladness of gathered college loyalists. Sneaking warming whisky from a coat-covered flask as an alumnus of 20 years rekindles his home team spirit is as much a part of Saturday Hamilton football as the football itself. Tomorrow afternoon, the Continentals meet the first of the tough ones, the perennially powerful team of Franklin & Marshall, at 1 :30 p. m. at Steuben Field. If the weather is · good, and the football fortunes fine, it should be a happy day for all.

Voter Apathy The Hamilton Judiciary Board, whose lack of precedents and clear guidelines for operation made it the object of study and careful revision last year, is sure to continue . to play a crucial role in the · self-governance of Hamilton students. It is therefore disheartening to learn that only about one out of every four students voted in the election yesterday of the Judiciary Board Chairman: Responsible for maintaining fair and clear Judiciary Board procedures, the new chairman should be a student respected and supported by his peers. A run-off election between Eric Kraus '76 and Steve Tepper '75 will be held in Bristol Tuesday Sept. 24. There will also be an election Oct. 1 for ten regular representatives to the board to come from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. It is hoped that voter turnout will be substantial on both days.

Fund Drive

When volunteers · from the Campus Fund Drive come to student's doors next week, they will be collected contributions to a long list of worthy charities. Many of the fund drive's beneficiaries are local community service organizations in the Utica-Rome aream including hospitals which specialize in programs and care for the · old, and sometimes disabled, the young, the handicapped, and the underpriviliged. - The organizers of the fund drive hope that each student contributes an average $2.50, which would allow the drive to top last year's $2,800 collection by $1,200. Give to the Fund Drive. Volunteer's requests for a dollar or two should only be well-received_.

New CompUteT Center Open for Student Use

By- BEYERLY DRAUDT The new National Cash Register computer system, lo_cated in the basement of the Daniel Burke Library, will make the Comp1.1ter Center "one of the busiest places on campus," according to David Smallen, director of the Computer Center .. There is no doubt in Smallen's mind that the computer will have a big impact on the Hill. Programs for se vera l o f fices of the administration are now being �developed and faculty members will use the computers for class a s s i g n men ts and rese a.r c h problems. When asked which courses the computer could serve, Smallen said, "Ninety per cent of the courses on campus can use it." Smallen also mentioned that several students would be doing . senior projects on the computer. Ro n a l d F. M a cDona.ld, con t roller for Hamilton and Kir.k land C o lleges, s ai d a com p u ter program is being worked on for the payroll. This proposed program will initiate a sy stem · of payment whereby non-faculty members will receive their checks every two weeks, and faculty members will receive their checks once a month. This double payroll will be a more efficient way of billing c o m p a r ed to the 18-payroll system used now. Eventually all accounting will be done by c o m p u t e r , i n cluding student billing and increment reports.

The Career Center has future plans for the computer, according to Bunny Lieberman, director. These include using it to poll Alumni and the Alumni Council for various kinds of aid for career counseling. Christopher Covert, Hamilton director of admissions, said his office had not yet used the computer for anything other than preparing mail labels but that programs for other uses were being started. By next summer the computer will be used for the compilation of the _Office of Admission's annual report on the entering class. Other than this, the office will use the co�puter s tr i c t ly f o r r e co r d-k e e ping purposes. Other Hamilton offices are expected to use the computer as an aid in record keeping. Kirkland Use Planned Catherine Frazer, dean of academic affairs, is heading a committee designed to decide Kirkland's use of the computer. Re p r e s e n t at i ves f r om a l l administrative offices o f Kirkland will determine exactly :what each office needs from the computer and then will try to coordinate these plans, Frazer said. The college wants to "present more or less intelligent requests " as to what sort of descriptive and p Ianning information will be required, she said. Generally, the Academic Affairs Office will use the computer for filing purposes and a a planning instrument that will answer hypothetical questions and ask evaluative questions. Computer Comse Facu1ty members will also be using computer time. Associate Professor of Mathematics John Anderson is giving a computer course again thi; year. Using the new computer for this course will remove the enrollment restriction which was necessary when the slower IBM computer was in use, Anderson said. And�rson compared know ledge

Receives Citation Playhouse Qn­ For Failure to Maintain Safe Conditions By KEVIN McGOWAN The Playhouse on the Hill, the summer tenant of Minor Theatre, was served · with a citation this summer for failing to maintain fire safety standards. S er ved by the St ate Department of Labor, Bureau of F a cto r i e s a nd Mercantile E sta b l i s hmen ts, the citation required a fire exit in the rear of the building, and less substantial changes including the posting of more exit and no smoking signs, and the in sta llm ent of m ore f ire ·extinguishers in the stage and balcony. The Playhouse informed the college about the citation Aug. 28. Hami lLo n Pr ovost Eugene Lewis stressed that the building w as c ited b e c ause of the commercial use the Playhouse makes of the theatre. "There�s a difference between standing room only crow,ds and theatre classes," he said. The college is under no legal obligation to do anything about the theatre, since the Playhouse and not Hamilton was served with the citation, Lewis said. W i d e s p r e a d a d vert ising attracted the state inspectors,. according to Le�wis, who said that Hamilton regularly has campus b u i l d i n gs i n s p e cted and maintains to meet standards, at the ·college's expense.

Peter Bogdanovich and released in 1971, ·the film evokes time and place perfectly. S'et in Anarene, Texas in 1951, a bleak desert tank town, the film . examines the dehumanization of people trapped in such a spiritless place. ''The Last Picture Show" follows S o nny ( p layed by Timothy Bottoms) and Duane (played by Jeff Bridges), two high school seniors in Anarene, as they approach graduation. The town has nothing to offer them, but they --know of no other life, and have nowhere else to go. As with most adolescents, their principal thoughts are of sex. They take their girls to the picture show, and then- drive to the lake to neck, but they can go no further, because "nice" girls did not do that. back then. What other pleasure existing in Anarene is supplied by Sam "the Lion" (Ben Johnson), who owns the picture show, pool hall and cafe. Sam has been around Anarene for over forty years, and h�s seen the town grow and die. He is a father figure to· Sonny, Duane, and. Billy, a mute retarded child (played by Sam Bottoms, Timothy's yowiger brother), who idolizes Sonny and Duane. Other characters include Jacy, D u a n e ' s girlfriend (C ybi l Shepherd) a rich man's daughter, always looking for her main chance; Lester (Randy Quaid), also a rich kid, who lures Jacy to a private, all-nude sWimming party; a nd Ruth Pop per (Cloris Leachman), wife of the Coach, lonely, ill and bored. The bleakness of Anarene permeates all the town's human relationships. Jacy bounces Duane

when he he fails to deflower her (embarrassing her because the whole class knows they went to the motel together. For lack of anything better to do, Sonny, Duane and the other boys set Billy up with the town whore, who bloodies his nose, for which Sam bans them -all from his picture show and pool hall. But Anaren;e itself is dying. Sam has died of a stroke. Jacy leaves to go to college. Duane joins the Army and goes to Korea. On his last night home, he and Sonny go to the picture show, which is closing. On the screen is "Red River" starring John Wayne, Howard Hawkes' definitive Texas western, a marked contrast to the desert outside the cinema. T h e f i l m ' s t e xtures are r e m a r kable. T h e b ri ll i an t black-and-white photography (by Robert Surtees) shows vividly the grit and dirt that is this decaying t own. T he s cr eenp lay , b y Bogdanovich and Larry McMurtry (adapted from McMurtry's novel) is excellent.., both in establishing time and in revealing character. The sense of time is enhanced by the sonndtrack, which uses old country and western singers like Hank Williams, and also old television programs like "Strike It R i ch" and "Your -Show of Shows." Bogdanovich's direction is fine, capturing the nuance and flavor of the period perfectly. But what really distinguishes "The Last Picture Show" is the ·performance itself. The quality of

the ensemble is astonishing. As Sonny, Timothy Bottoms has a wounded look, one of perpetual pain, a search for something lost, something missing that he can not name. - Sp-irit of the West

But the top acting honors must go to Ben Johnson, Ellen Burstyn, and Cloris Leachman. Johnson is brilliant as Sam "the Lion." An actor of massive strength and great human warmth, his Sam epitomizes the �eart of the old West, the spirit that supported the frontier. When he dies, the town loses its last chance to survive. Ellen Burstyn's Lois is a strong woman, refusing to give in despite � i s a p p ointments and l o s t o p p o r t u n i tie s. Although her marriage is a failure, her aff!l irs disintegrating and her daughter no better, she is sustained by her resiliency and tartness. A n d C lori s Leachman is equally brilliant as Ruth, the despairing wife of the coach. Quiet, shy, but desperately in need of someone, she is portrayed sensitively as a prim and dignified w om an. Her final scene is ·haunting, as is the closing shot of the boarded-up picture show. "The Last Picture Show" is not a great movie. It lacks direction at times. There is little change or growth in any _of the characters, but it has many strengths and some truly stunning performances that are both illuminating and affecting.

AMENIC 'This week. Amenic presents Alain Resnais' "La Guerre est Finie" {''The War is Over".) The plot of "La Guerre est Finie" depicts a long-tune professional revolutionary hvmg in Paris, who had fought against Franco thirty years ago. He is haunted by doubts about his commitment and his political effectiveness as an exiled undercover agent. He finds himself lost in the pwpose of life. The film ends in a sense of uncertainty in his fate while he sets out to return to Spain in an attempt to restore some meaning to his life. Like many of the other established masters in the French cinmea, Resnais' handling of the emotions of his characters is superb; and emotion has always been the underlying theme of Resnais' films, whether it be expressed in the form of a passionate search for a lost love (in "Last year at Marienbad,") an ambivalence towards a lover who embodies the complexities of a political event (in "Hiroshima mon Amour,") or an anguish in confronting a directionless and purposeless present.

_All .Women Program Attracts Elders

BY STEFFI KALMIN About twelve women have matriculated at Kirkland this fall under the college's' "Kirkland for All Women" program, which is designed to offer women pasf college age the opportunity. to rea cquaint t he m se l ves "Vith academia. Currently overseeing "Kirkland for All Women" is Cynthia Allen, assistant Director of Admissions. Allen succeeds Rosaland Hoffa, who will be studying in Finland for the academic year 1974-75. The program allows the women to either pursue their interests or work towards a degree by auditing or receiving credit for courses. The college has tried to allay the fears of those hesitant about returning to campus life arid the academic demands of courses, according to Allen. Flexibility Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs, Ruth Rinard, cited an "emphasis on flexibility" as the major attraction of Kirkland. With the evaluation system and no d i stribution requirements, the older student is better able to fill her exact needs, said Rinard. Evaluations eliminate fear of grades and allow the individual toconcentrate at her own pace, Rinard said. T he college considers . the program a two-way proposal, benefiting both older and younger students. Barbara Roberts, a new part-time student, chose Kirkland for its emphasis on the individual. Presently a nurse, Roberts has returned in an effort to pursue a new career. With spiraling costs and a nat ion -wide drop in college reg istr ation, the program is expected to partially alleviate dwindling applications. Tuition

Although Service Systems had a 6.5% profit, they still did not att.ain their -10% profit goal they need to cover supplies, labor, cost of operation, and a desired 4% management fee. In previous years, however, Service Systems has either lost money or broken even, said D'Aprix. "We are here to make a profit," said D'Aprix, "but we are not here to rob you." According to Eugene Lewis, provost of Hamilton College, the average increase in board rates at Hamilton during the past ten years has been 6.9% while "food prices have gone up much more rapidly." "Our institution is trapped. like everyone else, in a larger set of market forces over which we have no control," said Lewis. "Earl is caught up in this trap as much as· we are," he said. "We'd get out of this food business tomorrow, if we could... "The retail food business is a disaster. Sure, we could operate our own system, and have much better food, but how many students could afford the price?" 336 Over 800 Last year, Service Systems received approximately 78% out of the Hamilton students board

"It's .t'retty obvious that you don't just work part-time," said Ms. Rabinowitz., T h e R a b i n o w i tzes were attracted to Kirkland by an ad vertisement. "To be quite hpnest," Mr. Rabinowitz said, "when we applied we had never heard of Kirkland. "It seemed from the Kirkland ad that they could use someone of our combined backgrounds." Although the Rabinowitzes share · a single pos1t1on, their teaching responsibilities are by no means interchangeable. "We work in very different fields," said Ms. Rabinowitz. So far, the couple seems to like it at Kirkland. Ms. Rabinowitz thinks the students are "very nice " and Mr Rabinowitz found

the faculty to be "superior." "W e're excited about the cur r icul u m and the general freedom here," he. said. "We're e xcited about living in the cou ntry, but we also miss Chicago." Looki ng through the fog outside at a row of rain-splattered bicycles, he added,"No one told us about the weather until it was too late." Ms. Rabinowitz was educated at City College of New York and

the University of Chicago. Prior to her appointment at Kirkland, she was assistant humanities editor at the University of Chicago Press until 1973 and then did freelance editing for a year. M r .

fee. D' Aprix fu gures it costs $.80 per student per meal or $2.40 a day. Based on 14 meals a week, which is the average number of m ea ls D ' A prix figures each student eats a week, about $336 out of $800 Hamilton board fee is spent on food a student a year. The remainder of the money Service Systems receives is spent on l a b or , opera ting costs, administration and supervision. The money the college receives from the board fee, according to Lewis, pays for the overhead costs of auxiliary services. Extra costs incurred this year were new d i s h w a s hers, the drain pipe installed between Commons and College Street, replacement of lost or stolen -silverware and dishes. In addition, Bundy Hall and Bristol Snack Bar run at a deficit. "The costs have got to he displaced to the students and to the institution,"Lewis said. "Food services get melted into the overhead." D'Aprix: Close Bundy Bundy is on overhead drain on Service Systems, and according to D'Aprix, "Bundy Hall should be closed.''- Bundy has a capacity for 250 people, and last year Bundy served only 125 a meal. "If we could close Bundy, this would positively affect the quality and quantity of food served in the other dining halls," D' Aprix said. · The difference in overhead and labor costs, according to D'Aprix, is minimal when raising the number of students to be served from 500 to 600 in each dining hall. Money would be saved from the overhead expense at Bundy and this money could be usea to better food at other dining halls. H ow e ver , n o dining hall changes or menu changes will be seriously considered until Service Systems has met with the student food committee. "All decisions have to be made in conjunction with the students," said Director Anne Martin.

Although there is no formal budget for the Free School at this t i m e, e x p e n d i t ures will be determined by the amount of interest in the program, said Tibbetts. He added that there are monetary sources, such as the Chapel budget, that might be tapped. Long range plans for the Free School include another session in the Spring. The whole program would be on a larger scale and vould involve having classes in Clinton with residents of the town as instructors.

Thirty- six girls have come to tryouts for the eigliteen available spots. The team has a loose structure, and no real budget exists. The team had a slight setback when the scheduled tennis courts did not appear this fall. One player from last year felt that .the· new courts would have given the program a sho! in· the arm. Mrs. Richardson has been holding tryouts this past week, and shares two courts with coach Batt and his squad. The girls seem to enjoy the game, and the

Football Strikes FEIN GOLD and SHOEN The football season that just began has all the looks of another season of predictability. It started out as a prediction, of sorts, because the owners said that the strike would not interfere with the regular season. It. didn't. The strike was more like a bunch of kids saying they're not going to school during the summer-everybody knows that they don't have to go ·until fall. Not participating in exhibition games only hurt the players, although the owners did suffer some financial setbacks. Most of the players, it turns out, are as money-hungry as their bosses and the idealistic talk of Currie and Garvey that was supposed to change the set up of organized sports only landed on deaf ears. Besides the financial profits of another season of football, the owners, unsurprisingly, got the support of most fans. The fans are the ones that helped make football the biggest thing in America since the Big Mac. They'd rather see the owners get away with huge non-taxable profits, that the borderline players _ (whom the strike was really for) get something that most of us take for granted-something called the right to have differences with their employers and still be able to find another job. Another shot in the arm for the owners is that the new WFL, which did so well during the early months of the summer {what kind of madness is footpal in summer?), will now probably just flounder arqund getting minimal publicity until anohter threatened, but doubtful, NFL strike. It looked as if the WFL had a real chance, but now they can barely hop to survive, especially in areas with one or more NFL and/or major college team. What started out as a good money-making hope for the future just faded back into a plain old hope. What wasn't so predictable about this football season was the amazing start the Buffalo Bills got off to this past Monday night. Without O.J. Simpson in the second half,- the Bills beat the Raiders in what had to be one of the most exciting games in recent memory. Buffalo proved itself to be a real contender for this football season and. along with the other unpredictable feat by New England (when they beat the Dolphins) on Sunday, the AFC East should be at least close and, according to the optimists in Buffalo, very, very surpirsing. Something that can't be predicted at all is the Continental's football season, The reports say that this team is somewhere between good and excellent. Let's hope so. The Hill has been supporting football for so many years'worth of lost causes that a winning team, a good team -would be something like warm weather. Pretty refreshing. But, then again, they've been saying that for quite awhile. If memory serves well, last year's team was supposed to be somewhere near .500. Oh well, even Sid Gilman has- high hopes before the regular season begins.

The Hamilton Waterpolo Club met Morrisville: in a closed scrimmage last Wednesday night. The club is not under the direction of 'the At hle tic Department, and has no official coach. Brad Johnson '7 5 is president. Brad has played starting defense for the Polo team for the past three years, and his West Coast experience is a great help. Craig MacDonald '75 uses his size and ball handling to lead the offense into the scoring position. Johnny Needham, who seems to be proficient at anything in the water, plays left wing defense. And John Navarre is coming back after a year layoff to round out the defense. A typically freshman standout is Bill McCann, who played at Exeter and has added to a potent and deep offensive threat. Dave Greenhalgh adds speed to speed power, and a strong arm to the front three. They are all backed up by Jeff Carlberg, who is in front of every shot on goal. The rest of the roster is strong and deep with Junior and Senior reserves back, and a very thick squad of Freshmen. T h e C l u b has scheduled matches with Syracuse, Army, Yale, Cornell, and •host of other schools, including Colgate, and a late Oc tober tournament in Canada.

WHCL-FM Threatened -1 Deficit

By LIZ BARROW The Hamilton College radio station, WHCL, needs $12QO more than its $3900 budget to stay in acceptable operating order, said Peter Lotto, the station's chief engineer. The original equipment, bought when the--- station first opened in the early sixties "is in absolutely deplorable condition," Lotto said. The · single most expensive piece of equipment th�t needs to be replaced, the limiter, which moderates frequency, costs $550. Volume control�, tubes and incidentals make up the $650 difference. Lotto said that if the $1200 was spent_now, the station would. remain in working condition for another ten· years, but it would cost $2500 to replace all the deteriorating equipment.

Ahead and Back

The CAP curriculum proposal, which calls for the retention of Winter Study but which will award semester course credits for the three and a half week projects and count them towards a 35 credit graduation requirement, is a worthy one and reflects .-a hard-earned compromise of faculty and stud ents. A principal aim of the faculty's proposal is to maintain academic standards in January which are as high as those imposed during the regular semesters. It is questionable, however, that merely instituting grading of Winter Study projects will legislate academic rigor. If a certain type of study during January is to be prohibited becaµse it is not · deemed academically rigorous, however, criteria for such prohibitions should be made clear now. Fearing such nebulous classifications as "cognitive" and "expr,essive", the latter type course being somewhat less valuable, the students require a definition of what the institution of academic rigor in Wint.er Study will entail before properly evaluating the faculty's proposal. While maintaining the academic credibility of the January term, it is lioped that the freedom and diversity of Winter Study will not be quashed.

W(H_-K)CL? \

It is surprISmg to discover that six years after the beginning of coordination, WHCL-FM remains a student organization funded completely with Hamilton dollars. Kirkland Director of Development Donald Braider .,.., explained that Kirkland had not contributed to the station's financing in the past because of limited participation in the station's activities by Kirkland students. The station, however, which serves both sides of the Hill, is now run by students fro:rrt both colleges, and it seems appropriate for Kirkland to now lend financial support ti° WHCL. This seems especially sensible, considering the station's present financial straits. Although fiscal participation should not be thought of as a means �f "buying" a Kirkland voice on the radio station, it seems that Kirkland funding· will only lead to increased participation by Kirkland women, and increased diversity and quality •'t>f programming.

Furniture Amnesty

I

� Students have been taking college chairs, tables and cabinets from lounges or moving the furntiure from one dormitory to another, and the situation . has become increasingly troublesome and costly to the colleges. In order to· replace college furnishings to their proper places in dormitory lounges and bedrooms, Hamilton Dean of Students R. Gordon Bingham and Kirkland Dean of Student Affairs Jane Poller have offered amnesty to those students who return "borrowed" furniture Thursday. Hamilton and Kirkland students, who should not have to act under the threat of disciplinary action, will act responsibly if they return the furniture which they have but should not have next week.

Lee Bristol to Lecture at Clinton Historical Society

Professionals Against ABM. With Margaret Mead, Roger Shinn and J. Edward Carot)lers, he is editor of "To Love or To Perish: The T e c hnological Crisis and the Churches." Among future lecturers in the series are Andrezej Targowski, Poland's leading computer expert, now a visiting faculty member at Hamilton; Ronald E. Weber, a p-o Ii ti cal s cientist from the University of Indiana; George Cogar, president of the Cogar C o r p o r a t ion, and Fr ancis Musselman, a New York lawyer and chairman of the Board of Trustees of Kirkland College.

"Where Roots Are Deepest" is the title of a talk to be given by Lee H. Bristol, Jr. before the Clinton Historical Society on Thursday, Oct. 3, at 8 p.m. at the K i r kl an d T o wn Library in Clinton. Bristol's talk, open tQ the public without charge, will be illustrated with slides. Its title refers to the role of his family in the history of Clinton and the surrounding area. Bristol, the former president of W e st m i nster Cho ir C ollege, Princeton, N.J ., is the grand·son of t h e c o- f ou n d e r o f t h e Bristol-Meyers Company, which had its origins in a small "pill factory" in Clinton 87 years ago. The Br i s t o l f a m i l y's connections with Hamilton, of which Lee Bristol is a trustee, go back even further, to the initial construction of the college in the late 18th century. The brothers Joel and Eli Bristol eached pledged money, in the amount of one pound, as well as lumber and labor to the building of Hamilton. Joel served on the first board of trustees.

Clairvoyant Wams of· Marijuana Peril Sees Earthquakes · Angel Aids 'Christian'Oixon at Races By MIYE SCHAKNE

asked Dixon to care for her child, even if the child were born deformed. When the child was born with no arms, the young w9man admitted that she had smoked a lot of "pot", and from this Dixon concluded that "pot" was the cause of the defects. A shocked silence followed. The students' credulity was further strained when she told of a day at the horse races where an "angel" gave her the name of the winner in the sixth race. Relating some of her past predictions, Dixon told of her �ttempts to convince Robert Kennedy not to _run for the Presidency in 1968. He did not heed her warnings. Quoting the Bible, she forecast

Wearing a long white gown, with a gold cross around her neck, Jean Dixon presented a two-hour l�cture Wednesday evening in the Chapel , on what she titled, "Looking Through the Spiritual. Heart of America to the Future of rather Universe." Thjs the ambiguous title attracted both students and residents of Clinton, curious to hear the words of a "true psychic." Expecting a lecture on Dixon's psychic powers, students were disappointed an'Cl skeptical when she gave a long-winded sermon on the harmfulness of drugs and the value of being a "good Christian American." Midway in her speech, she launched into a dramatic tale of a pregnant young woman who

of darkness, a three diy,s world-wide earthquake and the coming of the Messiah in Jerusalem sometime in the l 980's. Some rriembers uf the audience seemed to be enlightened as she expounded · on the virtues of Christianity and the inner light within us all-a flame like the eternal flame Arlington at Cemetery. had who women, Two previously read her numerous · religious publications, glowed as they expressed their satisfaction with the lecture-. Others said they had been ''pleasantly surprised." "It sucked!" said a Hamilton student, adding that Dixon offered nothing of any substance and only sermonized, using moral tales concerning politics, drugs, and religion. Other students were less· emphatic, and felt that it was interesting in· at least one respect: one does not. often see a woman as zealous and possibly fanatic as Dixon, and }:learing her speak was an "experience." Dixon was as adamant about the strength of the United States

as shewasof the universal need for Christianity. 'The students listened skeptically as Dixon spoke of a great• inner strength that would restore tranquility and rebuild America to its former stature. · Dixon concluded her lecture with the recitation of a hymn, and

offered prayer cards to those who wanted them. Then about half the audience began to leave the Chapel, despite her "rousing" rendition· of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," and only the true belitvers joined Dixon at the reception aftq the speech.

The four panel members will be Anna Longobardo, manager of Technical Personnel Planning at S p e r r y-Rand Corp.; Adele Simmons, dean of student affairs at West College, of Princeton Uni ve r si t y; Helen Brown, executive director of the CBS Foundation; and Susan Stern, a lawyer with Nixon, Hargrave, Devans & Doyle in Rochester. The topics discussed by the panel will then be further explored in the workshop, scheduled for 7 p.m., Sunday, October 13. The discussion will be

led by an associate, a faculty member in a related field, a student, and a staff member. Prop<;>sed areas of the workshop discussion are: career possibilities; interesting new ways to apply skills; a survey of new trends; education and skills to do what you're doing; effective programs to bring women into a field; programs to change. th.e public perception of women and eliminate stereotypes; and the pressures that might force a woman to emphasize her sex over her role as a professional.

Career Wo11len to· Hold Panel Discussion

"Women's Expectations and Career Realities," a -panel discussion followed by workshops and conferences,. will be held at Kirkland, Sunday and Monday, October 13-14. The two-day career exploration is sponsored by the Kirkland· Associates and is coordinated by Dorothy Evans, Kirkland director of alumnae affairs and special programs, and Bunny Lieberman, director of the Career Center. The panel is comprised of four professional-women who will each address herself to the general theme of the program, reviewing highlights of her caree:r and discussing such issues as: The of roles s i m u l t a n e o us p r of e s s i o n a l / wife/mother or professional/single; a woman's image of herself, through her family, peers and colleagues, and the resultant pressures of "having to be perfect"; the sacrifices, satisfaction and frustrations of

Court Stops Mayor Hanna's Attempt to· Cut Clinton Bus

A court. order signed by State Supreme Court Justice Ponald H. Meade has cur short Utica Mayor Edward H anna's p l a n s. to discontinue bus service between Utica and Clinton, and four other suburban villages. Th.e temporary restraining order was initiated by Oneida County Executive William Bryant. Bryant claims that the city ign o r e d t h e e c o n o m i c remifications of hte service cut and did not thoroughly seek out additional subsidies from the state and federa l g o ve r n ments, according to a recent report in "Drums Along the Mohawk." The order is a stay until Oct. 9 when State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Aloi will hear the case.

The City of Utica will appeal the decision. Representing the city will be its corporation counsel Steven Pawlinga. Meanwhi le, Harlan Lewis, mayor of Clinton, has no plans in support of the restraining order, but intends to discuss it at the v i l l a g e b o a r d ' s meeting, Wednesday night. At this point, Lewis does not know what recommendations the village will make on behalf of -the court's temporary decision. Lewis said that Richard Abend, vice-president of the Boston store in downtown Utica had formed an ad hoc c i t izens committee composed of village mayors and supervisors to plead the· couse of the uotlying suburbs.

• The Utica-Clinton bus.

Larry Cohen, chairman of the Utica Transit Commission, said "I am very confiden t w e (the City) are going to win. It seems patently ab�urd that any court would force any municipality such as ours to give away city taxpayers' dollars." Cohen was one of the city administrators who first suggested that service be cut to the suburbs. "I believe that the efficience of the entire UTC operation can be improved by cutting the service to the suburbs."· Cohen responded to criticisms of Hanna which claim that he did not search out state and federal subsidies for the transit lines, s a ying ,.__ ''That's Bullshit, and quote me on that." Cohen explained that the city received $27,000 of a $41,000 request for state subsidy to operate its public transit. He said· t hat e ven i f t h e subsidy quadrupled, the city would still lose money because they now run the bus· lines at a $200,000 deficit. State subsidies would be cut if Utica discontinued service to Clinton and the other towns affected. Of Co mmissioner Bryant, Cohen said, "He is up against the wall. He is running for election next year and he's got to get votes and he knows he is not getting them from the city." "Bryant is using the issue as a political tennis ball. He Couldn't care less about the buses. He's never even taken a bus. Ask him!" "Bryant has ten floors to look down from. We have only three. He'd like· to look down on the state offices if he could," said\ Co hen in reference to the respective heights of the county, and city office buildings. C o h e n responded to accusations that the bus cuts would hurt downtown Utica e conomically, s a y ing, ''The· economic ramifications are that we send Utica dollars outside the

Dean Search Examined as Second Prospect Visits Hill

By DOUGLAS GLUCROFT Hamilton's search for a dean of the college has been marked thus far by an honest effort at openness with the right to maintain confidentiality of certain candidates, a policy of equal treatment for News Analysis candidates from the Hamilton faculty, and composure in its chairman, Professor of Chemistry Lawrence K. Yourtee. Si n c e m i d summer, t he committee has attempted to forge a policy of openness which would still allow it to retreat to secrecy when extraordinary occasion demanded. The .letters sent to the candidates inviting them to the Hill include a request for the release of their names and warning that the 9!lnfidentiality of their candidacy cannot be guaranteed, regardless of their personal wishes, The Spectator has learned. In following up its letters, the committee agreed to release pub l i c l y the names an d biographical data of any candidate who visits the Hill and who does not object. In cases where secrecy is re quested, the committee _informs The Spectator, but no further information is given. As reported in this issue, The Spectator has learned that a departmen t chairman in his early thirties will visit the Hill shortly. This person has authored various publicatio ns, taught at several presti gious i ns titutions, and apparently supervised a staff shake-up while at his present 'position. It would seem that -the

Trustees to U>nsider Carnegie Th e_ O l i n 'M a t h e s o n Foundation refused to fund the modernization of the Chemistry Building, according to President Carovano. He said that the organization was not interested in financing renovations. Requests for financial aid are still pending at several other foundations including the Charles Dana Foundation, a prominent funder of colleges and universities. The F o r d Foundation is con s i dering cutting back its p h i l a n t h r o p y t o p ri v ate institutions by 50% , according to a recent report in The. New York

Times. Although Hamilton . does not receive any funds from Ford, one of the nation's largest charity foundations, Carovano called this report "ail onunous sign." One million dollars are needed for t he Chemistry Building, according to plans the college has designed.The James Library and a new fieldhouse are also on the priority list. Carovano said that plans for the old library, a fieldhouse, or new dormitiories "have not been firmed up."

Union/Non-union Strife The issue of the union shop and claims of favoritism for non-union workers were largely �esponsible for the development of ill feelings at the time of the strike. Primarily, many union workers resented the non-union workers benefiting from pay raises won by the pi cketers. Some union members today remain bitter over this point. An important issue for · the union during the strike was the union shop, which would have made it mandatory for all workers to join the union, thus boosting union strength and bargaining power.

The college opposed_ the union shop on the grounds of freedom for the worker, and the clause was eliminated from the settlement. Favoritism Gerald Leuiken, director of the 90-member work force at the Physical Plant., said that the charges of favoritism were never continued on page ten

Stop the Talk

Letters to the Editor

Although the Adler Committee Evaluation Report did not include an endorsement of distribution requirements, it nebulously stated that required "core courses" would "force students to obtain a more eclectic education." Such talk of instituting a basic, force-fed curriculum at Hamilton has increased recently. When asked if he favored required courses, dean candidate John Rexine said that if records showed uneven selection of courses, he "would be inclined to put ... [his]... weight behind distribution requirements." When the college abolished distribution requirements here several years ago, however, it_ in effect recognized the Hamilton student's academic maturity and his desire ·to freely pursue his own education. There seems to be liftle 'reason for anyone to believe that the college's present position is no longer appropriat� here. If a formal move toward distributions requirements is indeed underfoot, it should be made known .to the �ollege community, so that students who now_ freely and presumably intelligently choose their academic' programs, will be afforded ample opportunity to voice their sentiments.

Defense of Dixon

fo the Editor: As a member of Root-Jessup, I feel that the Sept. 28 article on Jeane Dixon, written by Miye Schakne, was in extremely bad taste.Miss Schackne's article belongs not on the reporting page, but on the editorial page where her opinion should be expressed. The article is not even worthy of being called a critical one, since all it does is unconstructively throw m u d a t Mrs. Dix.on. What authority does the reporter have to interpret and sense student attitudes toward the lecture? How can s he validly make such s t a t e m ents as "the students' credulity was further strained?" One is able to sense emotional response, but it's impossible to conceive audience opinions frC>m their emotional response. A good reporter knows when to be candid and when to use discretion. Miss Schakne is candid when discretion is warranted, and . she is discreet when she should be candid. A good reprter uses di scr e t ion when ql,loting a foul-mouthed fool. The interview W-<15 prejudicially reported from the first sentence

and I are proposing is to put out a magazine as often as there is need and as inexpensively as· possible. W e w i ll- p ri n t e v ery th ing s u b m i t t e d w i t h t he sole qualification that all work must be signed. We emphasize that this magazine is conceived of not as an alternative for "bad" writers, but as of a n i n s t r ume n t open to all communication m e m b ers of the community whether they think of themselves as writers or not. The staff will b e typists; editors serve no function here as there will be no rewriting or selection of material. We are bringing our proposal before the Publications Board in the near future and if it is accepted our first issue will appear close to November .1. We will print as often as there is material and as many copies as our budget permits-not enough for everyone on campus to have one. This magazine will be a scarcer item than most of the printed literature on the Hill. It may be necessary for people to share, since there will not be enough copies to go around. Of the possible methods of printing I have looked int'o. the most reasonable appears to have it done at the Hamilton College Print Shop. Their price is $40.00 for 500 cop ies of twenty typewritten pages each. Although this method will perhaps be less elegant than having it typeset at The Courier or elsewhere, it is a far more sensible method for our purposes. For example, a twenty page . issue published bi-monthly from now until June would cost under $500.00. I am convinced that this could be an important experience for the college community-even a revolutionary experience, for it implies a new approach to the nature of "lit_erary" langu�ge and ev�n · a change in our cus·�omary channels of ..-communication. We have no desire to usu·rp the present literary magazine. Rather, we stress an alternative. We throw out to everyone, not just to a few, the challenge to work with words creatively, and to be heard in that endeavor. The magazine ought ideally to be in a continual process of redefining itself, since new discoveries will likely change the face of what we think we are doing. Whether our experimental results are sucessful in the conventioal sense or not, they are bound to be vital, exciting, new. Nellie Burlingham '77

Alumnus Comment

Gyrrinasium Laid Bare

THE SPECTATOR Hamilton College Clinton, New York 13323

Monday, September 30, 1974

To the Editor: The Times reported recently that Columbia University's President McGill has been moved to call a new building on campus the "Physical Fitness Center," for cause, i.e., that in and around our second "soul mother" in 10027 the word " gym" has become a three letter DIRJ'YWORD of itself, by Dr. McGill's "contemporary community standards," if not by those of the "aver age person." Of this we were reminded by a line or two of propoganda re "Homecoming '74," ostensibly from President Caravano, i.e., "9:00-Fall Houseparty Ball with 20 piece danceband. Alumni Gym. (Alumni welcome at no extra charge.)" A full four decades ago, when I was learning Greek on the Hill, "gymnaein" meant then (and probably still does) "to exercise naked." No "seeing eyes" does it take for any "average person" to grasp that in very' few gymnasia and/or gymnasiums· -do very many bodies exercise naked in this allegedly enlightened age. Or, how many naked gymnasts can be found anywhere in the Empire State other that on the beaches which have become gymnasia in recent years.? All of which is to suggest that the Homecoming could acquire a measure of appeal to"prurient interest," as well as "redeeming social value" to the Fourth Estaters in the Empire State were President Caravano to take program fr�m President McGill 1:>y re-namir:ig the building referred as tge "Alumni Gym." The ALUMNI PHYSICAL FITNESS CENTER may be more of a mouthful for Americans inclined to abbreviate wherever possible, but it could be printed in FULL in even The Times were President Caravano to preach a sermonette pointing out that HONEST� TO-ZEUS gy mnasia were banned by the Legislature in ·Albany way back in 1928. Whereby hangs a tale, in that a little group of willful men and equally willful women dared· to exercise naked (" gymnazein") in, of all places, a New York gymnasium, so called, thereby getting his late excellency Alfred Emanuel Smith all UPTIGHT- and the Legislature to bare butt­ with the result that NOODISTS were enjoined from NOODISING in COLONIES anywhere from Ni agara Falls to Montauk Point. Which is why, to this very day, New York State has no resorts in which people allegedly "cavort and gambol in their altogether for sun, fun, and good fellowship," whether affiliated with the AMERICAN SUNBATHING ASSOCIATION or with the NATIONAL NUDIST COUNCIL. Enough, other than to note that tht,ts can Hamilton College TEACH each and every "average person" the meaning of the prefix _" gy mno-" via some "hard core" gymnography printed not only in the Gannett Newspapers, but also in the Sulzberger Newspapers, the Ridder Newspapers, .the Knight Newspapers, etc.,etc.,etc. Which could move any and all college and university presidents to redesignate atheir currently miscalled PHYSICAL FITNESS CENTERS in due time and space. The painting of the lily and/or the gilding of the fine gold, however, calls for all of the members of the ASA and the NNC abo abovenoted to be generally recognized as "gymnasts," for the simple and obvious fact (bare-type) that they DO exercise·naked, "cavorting and gamboling" as aforenoted in their gymnasia, HONEST-TO-ZEUS type. But that is an Herculean task, one not unlike the smiting of the smut in King Augeus's stables by Smut-Smiter Hercules himself, if it not by Sisyphean, given our persistence in calling the descendants of the Original Americans "Indians." Wherewith, more than enough from a nurseling of the Class of 1938, i.e., Robert Clogher

P.S. Alt,ernatively, let everybody dance 11.aked at the Eall Houseparty Ball-and the "Alumni Gym," so called , will REALLY be a GYMNASIUM, right? A better "publicity gimmick" (ech!) that would be, but unlikely to be a "happening,'' right?

Enter the Amateurs

By VINCENT DiCARLO There they sit. Alone, rejected, disoriented, and confused, the sorry ranks of defeated regulars line the wall with the mural on the far side of the Pub. It's not that they can't play -the Pub games. It's just, that the crowds of novices that fill this pit of a Monday {that's right, MONDAY) night haven't yet learned the hallowed drunken pastimes of yore. If only to relieve some of the disorientation and discomfort that results from not knowing the conventions governing methanol-related behavoir, it may be desirable to short-cut the long learning process by providing a rough guide to the highly involved posturing characteristic of that haven of relaxation officially termed "The Hamilton College Student's Club." Particularly neglected by the newer components of that seething mass of human protoplasm, to be seen between the hours of 11:30 and 1:00 in the Pub, is what is generally called the ''line game." This, of all the games played at the Pub, provides the novice with the best possible combination of easy access and sociability. A warning to the unwary: the line game can be played only by the fully committed. An indifferent player is worse than unselss. The line game's very essence is enthusiasm in the pursuit of mental oblivion. The rules are simple. A solo player appears at whatever time three or more people are lined up awaiting service fro·m the bar. It is imperative to the successful participation in line gaming that it be such a night of the week that this condition prevail for at least ninety minutes at a stt·etch. Generally, any night from Tuesday until Sunday will guarantee this condition. However, there are important exceptions to this rule.

Please note for example that the number of live bodies at the Pub is inversely proportional to the number of people attending the parties of different sorts occurring at. other places on the Hill. Thus, the fact that the calendar indicates a particular location on the SMTWTFS map does not assure an appropriate environment for the line gaming. Simply placing yourself at the end of the queue makes you eligible to play. All that is necessary to continue competing is the willingness to do exactly the same thing Upon the emptying of your cup. In case you didn't catch on, get back on the end of the line and be sure to do it with what the ads call gusto. As I said, it isn't difficult, and it's quintessentially • conventional. To those students of computer science who have noticed that the line game seems to involve an infinite loop, I should remark that the game does in fact end when an unsuccessful test is performed of one's ability to perform simple motor tasks (like bending an elbow to find a mouth with an object held in the hand). You leave when you're too far gone to manage to drink. One of the advantages of the line game is that it immediately puts the player among those of the "demo" generation, that is, those who engage in the only kind of demo worth the name self- destruction-with-a-smile. Another advantage is that playing the line game gives the player a feeling of cameraderie with all the dedicated drinkers. That is, he can show crapulous greetings at any and all with perfect propriety. Last, and certainly not least, it is guaranteed that players. of the line game will eventually reach the point where it is no longer true that reflection upon where he is and what hd is doing afflicts his fevered brain with a panicked desire to escape.

.Hamilton Dean Search

Second Candidate Silent Citing his unfamiliarity with Hamilton College, the second candidate for dean of the college refused to comment on a wide range of questions about his educational philosophy and its relation to Hamilton. He made his comm en ts in a tele phone interview earlier this week. His reticence is in direct contrast to the responsiveness shown by John Rexine, the first candidate to visit the Hill, who is now associate dean of the faculty of Colgate University. The candi date, a young department chairman at a public university and the author of two publications on e d ucation, requested confidentiality from the college before he visited the Hill. Visit Acknowledged He said, however, that he met with the Dean Search Committee and various administrators of both colleges Sunday and Monday. He added that he is reflecting on his visit to the campus and is deciding whether he wants to remain a candidate. He said that the committee is going through the same process. In refusing to comment on his ideas of Hamilton's needs, the candidate said that he would like to consider what he has seen and that he needs more exposure to the campuses before he can comment on t he c o llege's strengths and weaknesses. Inappropriate At This Time Any comments would be "inappropriate at such an early stage," he said. In his brief comments to The Spectator he stood by a recent publication of his in which he supported the role of grades, in-c l a ss e xamination s, and distribution requirements in a liberal education. I-le said that his views apply to general trends in American higher education and can n o t be applied to any

particular institution. Colleges Atypical The candidate did not want to say how his ideas could be applied to Hamilton and Kirkland because the two colleges are atypical in size, student body, faculty, and in other ways as well. The candidate deplores the trend toward lower standards and higher grades in colleges and universities during recent years. In his publication he argues strongly in favor of grades as the best available measurement for academic achievement, and for

examinations as the best method for testing knowledge in any given discipline. Bachelor's Degree Earned A bachelor's degree is not purchased but earned, he believes, and failure in academic work, rigorous requirements in many disciplines, and competition as a means for motivation are all part of the ideal liberal education. The publication details what is possibly a more effective sort of e xa mination and describes a grading system which lie considers equitable.

Indiana Political Scientist To Visit College Sunday J·

1

William Siffin, director of the International Development R e s e a r ch Center· of Indiana University will be the third of six or seven dean search candidates to visit the Hill as the Search Committee continues- its first round of interviews, Chairman Lawrence Yourtee told The Spectator yesterday. Siffin, a professor of political science at Indiana, will be on campus Sunday and Monday and will meet with members of the c o m m i t t ee a n d President Carovano, Provost Eugene Lewis, Acting Dean of the College Dwight N. Lindley, and Kirkland D ean o f A ca de mi c Affairs Catherine Frazer. A member of the Indiana faculty since 1952, Professor Siffin also taught at Thammasat University, Thailand, where he served between 1957 and 1960 as academic advisor, chief academic advisor and research consultant at t h e I n s t i t u t e o f P ub l i c Administration. Besides his' directorship at Indiana, Siffin's administrative experience includes a two-year

Wertimer Expects �f�;J;!?�rse Changes

Wertimer cited three types of students whom the department must serve: the "rare bird" who wants to attend graduate school and become an economist; the student who aspires to a career in business, law or accounting; and the student who is interested in a general understanding of economics. Wertimer said these three types of student must be kept in mind by the depar tment when it considers the filling of vacancies. Course Additions According to Wertimer, public finance, industrial orgainization and comparitive economic systems are three areas in which the department needs Strengthening. President Caravano taught public finance, and Snead taught comparitive economics. Wertimer doubts that he can find one person to teach in all three areas, but believes that courses should remain in the offerings. However, if a course is not offered for three successive years, the Committee on Academic Policy (CAP) may force the department to drop that course from its offerings. Wertimer said it is possible for the present members of the department to teach these courses, but a specialist in these fields would be more desirable. The absence of a China specialist; caused by the departure of Snead, will not be filled. The course offerings in Chinese economics were included because of Snead's research interest. Wertimer does not believe that "all small colleges should have Chinese Economics." Needs and Economics Wertimer is in the process of ascertaining the need� of his department, and will eventually determine what courses should be added or dropped, and possible changes in department staffing. Thus far, Wertimer has made preliminary investigations into the type of economic programs offered at Bowdoin, Bates, and St. Lawrence University. "We will know where we wnat to be -going by the second semester and we will move in those directions," said Wertimer. Besides consultations within his department, Wertimer must consult the CAP for any changes in course offerings, and with the faculty Committee on Appointments to approve any changes in departmental staffing . President Caravano must finally approve all changes in the depart ment. Lindley's Ideal Type Acting Dean of the College, Dwight N. Lindley, stated that the Economics �partment is not the only one in "weak shape." He cited the similar situation of the Mathematics Department, which is overloaded with junior members. An ideal department, according to Lindley, would have almost equal numbers of tenured and untenured faculty, giving it both stability and mutability.

tenure as director of the Office of Development Administration of the U.S. Agency for International Development, 1970-72. He was also director of the Kentucky Legislative Research Commission, 1950-52. Siffin, who has edited or co-edited three books in political science, is the author of "The L e g i s l a tive C o un cil in the American States", "O and M: An Introduction", "Th e T h a i Bureaucracy: Institutional Chance a n d D e v e 1 o p m e n t''. a n d ''Thailand: Politics, Economy and Socio-C u l tural Setting A Selected Guide to the Literature". The candidate holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University, a M.A. from the University of Minnesota, an d a B.S. f r o m I n diana University. He served as a senior specialist at the East-West Center, Hawaji, 1964-65. A lecturer at Hamilton in 1971, Siffin was director of the Midwest Universities' Consortium f o r I n ternational Activities, Program of Advanced Studies in Institution-building and Technical Assistance Methodology. Siffin, 52, is married and has three children. Last week, The Spectator erroneously reported that John Rexine, candidate for dean of the college, said it was not the college's responsibility to handle graduate _school applications. Rexine told The Spectator that he believed it is not the dean of the college's function to personally h a n d l e g r a d u a t e s c h oo l applications, but i t i s the college's responsibility to place its students in the best possible graduate programs.

communicate completely in his "Hour of the Wolf." The loss is no doubt mine. l'he film has many excellent things in it, as it follows the story of Alma, the devoted, pregnant wife (Liv Ullmann) of Johann, a recently vanished artist (Max Von Sydow), who relives his gradual deterioration in an mental anguished effort to determine whether she could have prevented it. Her helplessness in the face of her husband's growing delusions and alienation was matched by my helplessness in interpreting and correlating the data with which Bergman was confronting me, however brilliant its cinematic images. Bergman's "Psycho"

The film has been called and "Bergman's ' Psycho'," certainly jt f o llows a similar progression into ·ever-deepening darkness and horror to the ultimate disintegration of the personality. But perhpas, if we are to compare it with Hitchcock, it has more in common thematically with ''Vertigo." We have,· again, the hero torn between the worid of daily reality and another world," a fascinating abyss, which may represent a deeper and more potent reality or may be an illusion, but which leads to an ine vi table process toward disintegration and death. The function of Alma, though she is a far "deeper" personality, is analogous to that of Midge in Hitchcock's film: both struggle to keep their men in the real world (see, for instance, Alma's efforts to interest Johann in her accounts), and their failure to do so is decisive to the development of each protagonist, hence of each film. Alma is the film's most striking figure. Quite simply, Alma is the most beautiful character in Bei-gman's whole work and quite distinct from the "affirmative" characters of earlier films like ''The Seventh Seal" and "Wild Strawberries.'' Alma is a positive figure who is at once mature and convincing, a figure born out of the merciless honesty of "Winter Light" and "The Silence." She is associated throughout with the idea of fruitfulness. We first see her big with child. at a table on which lies

"

a heap of apples, some half-peeled Among the objects she h andles while unpacking Johann's artist's equipment from the boat is a growing plant. The symbolism of the blossoming apple tree, though quite simple and unequivocal in its meaning, emerges naturally and onobtrusively. What we register first is Alma's spontaneous delight in it, so that the tree is a means of characterizing her as much as it is a symbol. Symbolic Tree f irst the on W he n , "manifestation" to Alma (the appearance of the old woman), the tree is banjen and bare, the symbolism is allowed to make its directorial a f fe ct w ithout insistence. The fact of Alma's pregnancy is discussed little in the film, apart from one key speech; but as a visual presence it assumes pervasive importance. In a film showing ultimate disintegration, she stands for its opposite, at least as an ideal whose attainability, though questioned, is not decisively denied. · Bergman begins with Alma facing us and talking to us-for at least three minutes. This scene certifies his oft-stated belief in the human face as the theater of life. The very fact of his self-confidence-that he doesn't feel obliged to hop about to keep the shot from being static-keeps it from being static, and makes it quietly daring. Later there is a scene in which Johann times one minute of silence by his watch. Bergman makes a drama of the sixty seconds by conveying Johann's triumph in surviving at least one more minute of his life sentence. There are some virtuoso touches, like one in which Johann is seated on a stony beach, painting. On top of a rise a girl appears, with only her legs visible. Her head is kept outside the frame even as she approaches. We

assume it is Alma. Suddenly, when she is next to him, she kneels and we see th�t she is another girl. (Veronica, as we learn.) It is more than a surpri_!>e. It is a revelation. Because Veronica never really comes to their island, the surprise tells us retroactively that we have been watching an illusion. In one scene, after Johann has killed his son and dropped him into the water, the boy slowly sinks and then, even more slowly, rises until his long hair floats on the water's surface like a lily pad-and he sinks again. In Johann's final visit with Veronica, in the depths of the castle, she is -stretched out on a table. Johann approaches the table, removes the white sheet that covers her seemingly dead body, and, again very slowly, very delicately, runs his hand over her, from head to foot. Sexual Emotions No interior monologue or heavy breathing in needed to convey the aching memories and ant1c1pation that throbbing Johann must/feel. As an example of Bergman's ability to convey the deepest sexual e�otions with the simplest dramatic devices, this sequence is equalized only by Bibi Andersson's confession of a beach orgy in "Persona." It is, in fact, that scene's visual counterpart. Perhaps it is wrong for me to want things more cti't--and-dried than Bergman makes them. During the course of that interesting TV interview, Bergman said that the conception of a picture should _ pass into the viewer without going through his mind., And perhaps this surrealistic method is exactly · what the director wanted in "Hour of the Wolf." In spite of its ambiguities, "Hour of the Wolf" is fascinating. Even though Bergman's dreams and mine don't coincide, I found his nightmares much nore exciting and interesting than mine.

Swope's press _conference irreverence and slickness that is from a moving car is expremely

powerful. In fact, Downey would make a great cinematographer. Downey fails to develop his characters, using them as mere robots in an attempt "to prove his own "genius." His casting is equally as poor. His actors seem to have been selected for their freakish appearance rather than their acting abilitv. Conception a Strong Point The movie's strong point is its conception; the idea of a black taking control of an advertising agency and making this rotten ele.ment of society even more r ot ten i s f ascinating. It is unfortunate tllat Downey fails to support his original idea. "Putney Swope" was made in 1969. Satire usually is timely, not timeless, and "Putney Swope" has not aged well. This is the first film of a man who was unsuccessful in several careers. In the credits, Downey calls himself a prince, but on the basis of this film3 he is no more than a pretender.

Few Drawbacks A n o t h e r d ra w ba c k f or off-campus students, in Robbie's words, is that, "you can't just go back to your room and flop down if you have some time between classes." Also, one student pointed out that "you don't have the so-called 'c a m p u s i m m u n i t y ' f o r drugs...you have to be more careful off-campus." Mo st o f those s t u dents interviewed said that they had a "good relationship" with their landlords and that there were "no big problems" with maintenance. Some students do maintenance and renovation themselves for com p ensation in their rent payments.

The most . unique off-campus housing is occupied by Jeff Wallace '75 and Peter Regan '75 and two non-students who live on a ninety-acre farm on Skyline Drive. When they discovered it last spring, the farm house was run-down and had not been rented for over a year. They proceeded to "wor}{ out a deal,'', with the owners where they "would fix up the joint" if they could live there. According to Jeff, they have put in "about 150 hours of work"there and now like it -�Q much they are' thinking of buying the place. When asked if they missed any of the virtues of dormitory living, most of the off-campus students seemed to share a vtew similar to that of Diane W�lden, who said, "Jane Poller would have to grab me by the hair and lock me up to make me live in a dorm."

There is no easy or organized w ay. All o f the s tudents in terviewed had remained in C li n to n d uring the summer preceding a year of off-campus li ving campus living. Through "word-of-mouth,'' "legwork," and "luck," they were able to find living units. Real estate agencies are of very little help in finding a student housing in a small town like Clinton. Word Of Mouth A secretary for the Burns Agency said that about two students a day come into their office asking advice, but they can rarely help. "Most information travels by word of mouth, " she said. Diane Walden describes the way which she, and most other stude nts, f o und o ff-campus housing: "I went around and talked to th e t o w n s p e ople and the storekeepers, and people were very helpful. They gave me leads to follow. "I looked in the newspapers, the C linton Courri er and especially the Penny Saver, for advertisements. "1 talked to seniors and other people who I knew had been living off-caµipus to find out what places would be available." Both colleges feel that their responsibility is "to get the beds filled" on campus. According to Hamilton Dean

of Students R. Gordon Bingham, "the college is not deluged with requests" for off- campus housing and thus turns down very few each year. But Kirkland has twenty-one students presently on a waiting li s t for o ff-campus housing permission. off-campus To apply for housing, a Kirkland student must now b e a b le to prove a pyschological or emotional need by submitting a statement from her p e r·s onal d o cto r w i th collaboration from the health center. Although Kirkland's Residence Committee has a rule stating that only fifteen students be allowed to live off-campus, this regulation has not ,been strictly enforced, as over thirty Kirkland students are now o f f-campu s. Ho wever, according to the Assistant Dean of Students Linda Patrick, about five off-campus students are als;-­ paying for room and board at Kir k la n d . "But that's their choice," she said. Patrick also said "We will b� re-evaluating the number this year. There may have to be a longer waiting list in the future. We'll pnobably make the number of off-campus students smaller in the spring and let people off the waiting list one at a time as we get bodies to fill the beds." "There are twelve empty beds on campus right now," said Patrick.

Introduction

The 1974 Adler Conference was held at the Mohawk Inn on Fourth Lake in the Adirondacks . The ninety members of the Conference included Administration, Faculty, and Students from · Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges. The purposes of this year's Conference remained essentially·the same as in past years: to identify and discuss problem areas on the Hill and through the discussion and free exchange of ideas to suggest some solutions or at least approach some type of resolution of the problems. ':"' Adler is· not a legislative body. Its success is contingent on its participants' rnotivation to implement its proposals. Much of the value of Adler lies in the communication and the discussion which the Conference spawns. __ Membership was solicited from the student bodies and faculties at large, with emphasis being placed on the recruiting of new participants, so as-to get a fresh input. The Evaluation Committee had a tremendous amount of material to condense and disseminate. The following report contains a brief summary of the major topics discussed and the concrete proposals that emerged from the various groups.

Curriculum.

The commitment, indeed the devotion, of the conferees to the liberal arts was clear. There is little disagreement regarding the ultimate goals of Hamilton-Kirkland. ,Much of the discussion of curriculum centered around delineating the best means to those ends. The concern was voiced that many students limit their educational horizons under the present system of course selection. In order to rmprove the quality of the liberal arts education, several suggestions we__re made: Academic Advising The current advising system should be bolstered by the addition

A Kirkland Studen~t By DIANE DAVIS

The Adler Conference is a Hamilton-instituted and largely Hamilton-funded event. I have lived two years with Hamilton, and one of those two years at Hamilton (in North). Prior to the conference I thought I knew a lot about the college-enough to be an active and verbal participant at Adler. What follows is "on the. Adler conference, for the Spect:jltor, by a Kirkland student."Colored by post- conference fatigue and pre-semester-start euphoria; �his has turned out to be less about and more a (subjective, informal) reaction to Adler. I found out almost immediately that I knew far less about Hamilton College than I had thought. There were many issues I could not· even confront, as a woman, and an art major-a fairly typical Kirkland student. I was amazed at the yery meager conception I had had of the "burning issues":· the various academic pressures, the difference one's faculty advisor makes when one is an ill-advised pre-med, the pre-professional bias of many Hamilton courses, the hell on earth a freshman year in Dunham can be, and the moral ambiguities possible in the honor system.

of a catalogue containing precise course descriptions, including reading lists, approximate paper and exam schedules, and the criteria by which a student's performance will be evaluated. Sophomores, upon declaration of their majors, will be asked to evaluate their previous advisors. Midsemester conferences, to be scheduled prior to the course drop deadline, should be encouraged. Faculty advisors should not hesitate to steer their advisees toward profe.ssors knowledgeable in the students' field of interest. Distribution Requirements The institution of interdisciplinary core courses would force students to obtain a more ecle(:tic education, and would provide a common fund of knowledge which professors of upper level courses would- be able to build upon. Such a move would also make the prerequisite system more meaningful. Winter Study -- There was a general satisfaction expressed by students and faculty alike for the CAP Winter Study proposal. Some possible improvements were suggested: Pass-fail options should be increased from four to eight so a student may continue to take all Winter Study courses P/F and still have a chance to opt for P/F during the regular semester. A committee, analogous to that committee which evaluates independent study proposals, should be formed to evaluate Winter Study proposals and determine their academic viability. A suggestion was made concerning Legal Internships for academic credit: The supervising professor would contact the law firm to let it know what is expected from the student. The student would be required to keep a journal of his experiences and to write a paper based on his internship. He would meet with the supervisor at the end of the month to discuss the experience. · internships in fields other than law could be worked out following these guidelines.

Coordination

The relationship between Hamilton and Kirkland is a symbiotic one. The differences between these institutions, which Dean Tolles termed a 'creative friction' which motivates each school towards its own goals, are of great value. The conferees discussed means by which problems in coordination can be alleviated, thereby allowing the two institutions to grow together while preserving their indivi<;tuality. Academic Coordination .· Hamilton students should be .allowed to major in ,fine arts at Kirkland. Variations in style should be recognized as such and not as variations in academic quality. In order to encourage more academic and social exchange more Kirkland courses should be taught at Hamilton and vice versa. Kirkland needs a science department consistent with its educational philosophy to supplement, but not duplicate, the science program at Hamilton.

Former Dean DePuy Reacts to Adler

There was a general consensus that continued improvement in academic coordination should be initiated by the upper administrative levels.. Hopefully, the stabilization of the Hamilton administration will lead to such advances.

I submit to the Hamilton-Kirkland··community the following letter from former Dean Hadley S. DePuy.

Chairman Roger E. Schneider 1974 Adler Conference

Admissions

I write to express my thanks to the Adler Planning Committee for granting me the privilege of participating in the 9th Annual Conference. Also, I want President Caravano to know that I believe he should receive the thanks of all of us participants for providing the necessary institutional resources that made the Conference possible this year. I believe these conferences have annually provided for a comprehensive discussion of comtemporary social, residential, and academic life at Hamilton. They have done much to enrich friendships and strengthen relationships. May they long continue! As you know, my role in this year's conference was never explained to me so I had the luxury of listening and contemplating without having to explain, defend, or temporize. S-uch is the beauty of being an Adler alumnus who became the "Ghost of Christman Past"- at least for several days. Perhaps I can contribute in some small way to the College and to the conferences that tolerated my presence by reducing to writing the substance of my reflections on the Conference. I shall make no attempt to comment on all items discussed but only on those which are of chief interest to me. I. Great crises, large problems, deep differences at Hami I ton? I found little indication of that. There is a kind of all pervading spirit that Hamilton is doing just fine. New top leadership, committed to a Hamilton which will encourage self-renewal, has helped. A committed, sensitive faculty is another-major reason for this feeling. Most of those I talked with found professors invariably approachable- no lecture-'em and forget-'em here. The assemblage was quite - concerned about grades and post-college employment. This is, I believe, quite in keeping with the times. Nothing matures one like discovering that no job or graduate school is readily available at the end of the college rainbow. And this Adler was marked by mature people considering important and timely concerns-a distinct triumph over the prate about trivialities which marked some of the earlier annual encampments. There is a Promethean spark, a· spirit, which long has been in evidence at Hamilton, and it is a unique and fragile thing. There has been at the college-and there was at Adler-a sense of community that maintains it. What binds Ham ii ton together is a special kind of social glue, the sum of all the unspoken and unwritten understandings Hill people have with each other. When you trust, when you can predict someone's behavior and depend on it, then you do not get into power relations, and that is a very attractive situation. There are all kinds of tyranny most of the institutions in higher education live by, and they are what very few colleges have managed n0t to live by. II. There were lengthy conversations about curriculum. Almost everything that was said within my earshot related to the calendar and to the forms of curriculum. No one argued that a liberal arts education isn't useful in 1974. There was strong support for a general education. A) Few students could define a liberal arts education. Who can?

Maintaining and promoting Hamilton's reputation in the face of a declining pool of qualified applicants is the primary concern of the Admissions Office. This can best be accomplished by (!)continuing to use students and alumni as resources for recruiting, and by (2) making applicants more aware of the advantages of coordination through the use of tours, an expansion of the catalogue to inciude more information about the other school, and generally representing the situation on the Hill as bi-institutional.

Health Services

Adler participants were generally quite pleased with the health services on the Hill, which are substantially better than the grapevine suggests. However, there is room for improvement: A non-credit course, including first-aid, CPR, and a cursory examination of human physiology would be of great personal and community value. Copies of directions to area hospitals should be made available at the Health Center. Perhaps a system of volunteer drivers for non-emergency medical situations could be developed. Information-about health and psychological facilities should be made available several times during the year through the media of the Spectator and WHCL-FM.

The student would be required to keep a journal of his experiences and to write a paper based on his internship. He would meet with the supervisor at the end of the month to discuss the experience. Internships in fields other than law could be worked out following these guidelines.

Coordination

The relationship between Hamilton and Kirkland is a symbiotic one. The differences between these institutions, which Dean Tolles termed a 'creative friction' which motivates each school towards its own goals, are of great value. The conferees discussed means by which problems in coordination can be alleviated, thereby allowing th'e two institutions to grow together while preserving their individuality. Academic Coordination Hamilton students should be .allowed to major in ,fine arts at Kirkland. Variations in style should be recognized as such and not as variations in academic quality. In order to encourage more academic and social exchange more Kirkland courses should be taught at Hamilton and vice versa. Kirkland needs a science department consistent with its educational philosophy to supplement, but not duplicate, the science program at Hamilton. Social Coordination Freshman orientation should be a year-long'process; more mixing between the two schools should be encouraged. A d ler p articipants were generally satisfied with social coordination.

While the college is not obligated to provide jobs for graduates, it should make avenues to employment known to students. It is then up to the individual student to explore the available options. We should maintain and attempt to improve our relations with professional schools as 0utlined by Mssrs. Traer and Kinne! in their law- and med- school reports. Pre-medical meetings should be better publicized at Kirkland.

Honor System

The great value of this system is generally acknowledged. However, the Constitution should be rewritten so as to remove ambiguities (i.e. specify various infractions, student responsibilities, and potential penalties). Furthermore, Kirkland students who are bound to the Honor Code in Hamilton courses, should be made aware of these specifics. The trial procedure should, be codified, and made known to defendants.

Community Concerns

The conferees I talked with would be in agreement with Ed Lee's hope that Hamilton students will learn: "To appreciate excellence and abhor mediocrity. "To be tolerant of dissent and yet most discriminating of people .in your thoughts and actions. "To be humane without being patronizing. "To be sophisticated without sophistry or arrogance. "To be skeptical without being a cynic. "To recognize inevitabilities as well as alternatives." B) What is a liberal education? How should we define breadth and depth in curriculum? Should there be a Winter Study? What courses should be required? These and other questions relating to curriculum (as well as questions Ion parking, food, and dogs on campus) will fill the conversations of this and many future generations of Hamiltonians. There are no final a,pswers, no ultimate models. But the commitment, indeed the devotion, of the conferees to the libe'ral arts was clear. There was no division as to the ultimate educational goals. The difference of opinions as to form by which the curriculum is to be organized are natural and healthy. Ill. As one who believes that Hamilton and Kirkland are absolutely essential to each other, I found the unremitting utterences of unsupported suspicions by "spokesmen" for both colleges to be sorely trying. Some say Kirkland is unduly radical. Some say Hamilton is staid and sedate.· Some say abandon coordination. Some say both should go coeducational. Some say the cheerleaders at Kirkland have lost Lheir porn-porns. Some say the Hamilton Jocks have lost their snap. And most of all, everybody says som ething about coordination--including me! In time of e conom i c stress, of ·crisis and concern for the survival of private colleges, of the need for finding qualified students, how is the relationship between Hamilton and Kirkland? I believe coordination is working quite well. This does not mean there aren't any problems! It seems to me that for over six years the folks on the Hill have suffered from the confusion and distraction of alternate moments of illusion and despair. Hoping always for a painless esc,;ape from the realities of new beginnings, often attacked by cynical faculty on both campuses who will say anything to be popular and by a minority of students either myopic or worse, the leadership on both campuses has moved in violent pendular swings between optimism and pessimism, between the mountains of complacency and the marshes of despair. The plain truth is that there are signs that have increased in size and intensity that the differences between the two Colleges is a blessing in that each learns from the other and improves its own programs accordingly. The situation has helped to develop what former Dean Tolles called a "creative friction" that has motivated each College toward a realization of its own academic potential. Long live the differences! A strong word of advice to people on both campuses.It is difficult and unfair to label or type institutions or people by single or quickly determined designations.

How can we judge whether or not coordination is working? Perhaps more than any other one element the s ucce ss of the coordinate venture will be determined by the . extent and effectiveness of the academic cooperation. continued on page twelve

Because we are such a small community, the actions of only a few can affect the community as a whole. In order to provide for a more fruitful society on the Hill, we can: Inform students about the needs, history, and culture of the minorities. The Black-Puerto Rican Union is an excellent resource for such information. However, the individual student must make an effort to improve his/her understanding of other cultures. If students refuse to make such an effort, there is very little which others can do for them. De-emphasize alcohol as the cornerstone of social exchange. Non-alcoholic beverages should be made available at social functions. Drug use seems to be on the decline, and does not pose a serious problem on the Hill. However, the possibility of serious . drug abuse still remains, and prophylactic measures should be continued. The SAC, with the cooperation of the I FC, should continue its new policy of spreading social functions out over the semester. Make a greater attempt to curb the vanaa11,.,' and petty larceny which occurs on both campuses. This responsibility begins with the individual student. The J-Board appears to provide an excellent means for resolving these problems when they do crop up. However, the J-Board should take an active role in discouraging such activities by publicizing_penalties and-disciplinary procedures. Re-institute the jitney service to and from Clinton, especially in light of recent assaults and harassment of Kirkland students. Make permanent women's locker facilities available on the Hamilton campus, and develop athletic programs and faci Iities at Kirkland. Look into ways of increasing "class unity" at Kirkland. This would have important implications regarding social coordination and cuture alumnae support.

Adler In The Future

The Adler conference provides both a valuable and viable means for examining Himilton-Kirkland problems, and should be continued. The intimacy of Adler must be preserved. However, means for reducing the Conference·•s cost must be explored. Perhaps a less extravagant site could be found; e.g.-- the Colgate or St. Lawrence Adirondack facilities; local conference halls. The Conference should be expanded to include an equal number of Kirkland students, and should be equally funded. Respectfully· submitted, David B. Duggan '75 and John B. Emerson '75 Co-Chairmen, Adler Evaluation Committee.

I found little indication of that. There is a kind of all pervading spirit that Hamilton is doing just fine. New top leadership, committed to a Hamilton which will encourage self-renewal, has helped. A committed, sensitive faculty is another-major reason for this feeling. Most of those I talked with found professors invariably approachable- no lecture-'em and forget-'em here. The assemblage was quite · concerned about grades and post-college employment. This is, I believe, quite in keeping with the times. Nothing matures one like discovering that no job or graduate school is readily available at the end of the college rainbow . And this Adler was marked by mature people considering important and timely concerns-a distinct triumph over the prate about trivialities which marked some of the earlier annual encampments. There is a Promethean spark, a· spirit, which long has been in evidence at Hamilton, and it is a unique and fragile thing. There has been at the college-and there was at Adler-a sense of community that maintains it. What binds Hamilton together is a special kind of social glue, the sum of all the unspoken and unwritten understandings Hill people have with each other. When you trust, when you can predict someone's behavior and depend on it, then you do not get into power relations, and that is a very attractive situation. There are all kinds of tyranny most of the institutions in higher education live by, and they are what \lery few colleges have managed n0t to live by. 11. There were lengthy conversations about curriculum. Almost everything that was said within my earshot related to the calendar and to the forms of curriculum. Nq one argued that a :-l�beral arts education isn't useful --in 1974. There was strong support for a general education. A) Few students could define a liberal arts education. Who can?

promoting Hamilton's reputation in the face of a ualified applicants is the primary concern of the This can best be accomplished by (!)continuing alumni as resources for recruiting, and by (2) more aware of the advantages of coordination tours, an expansion of the catalogue to inciude bout the other school, and generally representing Hill as bi-institutional.

ity Concerns

The conferees I talked with would be in agreement with Ed Lee's hope that Hamilton students will learn: "To appreciate excellence and abhor mediocrity. "To be tolerant of dissent and yet most discriminating of people _in your thoughts and actions. "To be humane without being patronizing. "To be sophisticated without sophistry or arrogance. "To be skeptical without being a cynic. "To recognize inevitabilities as well as alternatives." B) What is a liberal education? How should we define breadth and depth in curriculum? Should there be a Winter Study? What courses should be required? These and other questions relating to curriculum (as well as questions ion parking, food, and dogs on campus) will fill the conversations of this and many future generations of Hamiltonians. There are no final �swers, no ultimate models. But the commitment, indeed the devotion, of the conferees to the libe·ral arts was clear. There was no division as to the ultimate educational goals. The difference of opinions as to form by which the curriculum is to be organized are natural and healthy. 111. As one who believes that Hamilton and Kirkland are absolutely essential to each other, I found the unremitting utterences of unsupported suspicions by "spokesmen" for both colleges to be sorely trying. Some say Kirkland is unduly radical. Some say Hamilton is staid and sedate.· Some say abandon coordination. Some say both should go coeducational. Some say the cheerleaders at Kirkland have lost (heir porn-porns. Some say the Hamilton Jocks have lost their snap. And most of all, everybody says som et hing about coordination--including me! In time of econom i c stress, of crisis and concern for the survival of private colleges, of the need for finding qualified students, how is the relationship between Hami'lton and Kirkland? I believe coordination is working quite well. This does not mean there aren't any problems! It seems to me that for over six years the folks on the Hill _have suffered from the confusion and distraction of alternate moments of illusion and despair. Hoping always for a painless es�ape from the realities of new beginnings, often attacked by cynical faculty on both campuses who will say anything to be popular and by a minority of students either myopic or worse, the leadership on both campuses has moved in violent pendular swings between optimism and pessimism, between the mountains of complacency and the ' marshes of despair. The plain truth is that there are signs that have increased in size and intensity that the differences between the ·two Colleges is a blessing in that each learns from the other and improves its own programs accordingly. The situation has helped to develop what former Dean Tolles called a "creative friction" that has motivated each College toward a realization of its own academic potential. Long live the differences! A strong word of advice to people on both campuses.It is difficult and unfair to label or type institutions or people by single or quickly determined designations. How can we judge w hether or not coordination is working? Perhaps more than any other one element the succ�ss of the coordinate venture will be determined by the extent and effectiveness of the academic cooperation. continued on page twelve

CASTING A RFS10RAD� CXJ\EDY

A staged reading of Congreve's ..The Double Dealer", the most concentrated and perhaps hardest-minded of Restoration comedies, is planned by Mr. Barrett for the first weekend in November. The intention is to invent a style through which we can project the realitites in this very mannered sort of drama. The show requires a cast of seven men and four women, a stage manager, a technic� director;a costume designer, and a properties person. No previous experience is necessary. Auditions will be held Monday and _Tuesday evenings, Oct. 7 and 8, from 7:30 till 9:00 p.m. in the Student Senate Room, Bristol Campus Center. Copies of the play are reserved at the Circulation Desk, Burke Library.

continued from page nine

What suggestiqns may be offered to aid coordination? Perhaps 1974 is the time for the presidents and officers of both Colleges to take the lead in articulating the purpose and combative faith of Clinton educators in the core of the liberal arts tradition, by people of small vision and great emotion in this era of convulsive transition and doubt, Hamilton and Kirkland (indeed all private institutions) must gather all the Ii ke-minded allies they can find and settle down seriously to the very serious business of working together. Maybe by working together the leadership can clear the air, focus attentiort on the great needs of the two institutions and melt divisionist controversy into a mold of common conviction. Maybe faculty and students have about reached a common conviction that strength through coordination is their salvation. Maybe the Colleges have about decided that only by sharing their resources and their faith in the spirit of free inquiry as a prerequisite for the education of future leaders of a civilized nation can they thwart conditions of economic crisis more potentially damaging to education than we have ever seen. In sum, I believe the relationships between the people in the Colleges has shown marked improvement over the last several years. It is better now than it has ever been - and it's getting better! IV. But lest this letter seem all Elysian Fields, let one deep concern of this former dean be cited: that students arrive at both campuses with vast ignorance of the needs, history, and culture of the minorities. Would it not seem important for all those concerned to attack this educational, social, attitudinal problem head on? And soon? There is a genuine willingness by students to accept help in confronting this long standing problem. Surely Hamilton and Kirkland can do better than they are presently doing. You know, Roger, that my assignment for seven years was to work closely with Hamilton students. From this cat-bird seat I saw things about which I can no longer do anything. Yet still I believe that yoJr Hamilton is my Hamilton. Knowing my attachment to the Colleges, perhaps you will permit me to strike to paper some long standing, unanswered questions which should be discussed by the larger community. How can we alleviate the wasted man/woman/power which many believe is inevitable in education? Can we provide new and more effective programs beyond those established by our predecessors which will provide unity as well as diversity on the Hill? Can we find new ways to involve students in the governance of the College in areas where their opinion should be sought? How can we find ways to get our faculty colleagues further involved in the neglected area of assisting students in- becoming socialized humans out of the classroom? How can we aid students in the process of making vocational choices? Hamilton gave me a rare privilege--the privilege of working ·with Hamilton and Kirkland students at one of the most exciting and demanding times in the history of Hamilton College. I welcomed the challenge and the opportunity. I enjoyed reliving my days at Hamilton while at Adler. Good luck to you--and the Colleges. Ave! Hadley "Stretch" DePuy

Why People Said No to Kirkland Location and Size- Factors

By WENDY PASHMAN The social milieu at Kirkland is too "freaky" according to 16 percent of the respondants to a 1974 questionnaire sent to pre-freshmen who were accepted by Kirkland but decided not to come here. Twenty-nine percent pointed to waht they called Kirkland's lax academic reputation as a factor which deterred their accepting the offer of admission. Uve r half g,t· those who responded said that Kirkland was one of their final choices, most of th em at tributing their close consideration of the college to its over-all educational philosophy. Kirkland's location and size played a large part in discouraging perspective students. Many said that the distance of the college from their home turned them away. An overwhelming majority were hailing mainly from urban, or suburban coi;nmunities. Many resp on den ti! cited Kirkland's isolation from cultural offerings and city life.

] A Kirkland Adler View I Lectur1 e on. . continu ed from page eight

(once again, folks) re-evaluate Kirkland. Until Adler, the Hamilton-Kirkland dichotomy was never so graphically illustrated to me. The feelings I saw at Adler and the character and major concerns of the discussions were all quite different from what I have seen at Kirkland. It is not the stereotyped "Ham Coll," the fraternities, beer, football, and "demo," that really separate the two campuses. Instead, it is the colleges' respective reasons for being. It is the meaning of a liberal arts education: obsolete perhaps for anyone, but still essentially different for men and women. This difference is an attitude perpetuated in some ways by Ham_ilton's and Kirkland's "coordination." For example, Kirkland students taking Kirkland courses don't have the pressure of grades. The student is in competition only with herself, unless she is professionally odented and extremely motivated. There are those of us who prefer it that way. But what about the specifically directed pre-professional? Would potential pre-meds do better to choose an all-female or coed version of Hamilton instead of Kirkland? How much guidance does Kirkland or Hamilton give Kirkland pre-med students? Hamilton has had a long time to become reasonably competent at what it sets out to do. Kirkland is young enough to keep examining its students' needs and expectations and its roJe as a woman's college in preparing women to deal with what is still a "man's world." Certainly many Kirkland students' aspirations are higher when they leave than when they come in-I have not seen many freshmen entering Kirkland with sepcific or even general goals in mind. I could cite "the system" that sanctions wo"2�n coming to college to be "well-educated" (and thus better wives and mothers?) or fo "find themselves," but people can't afford that sort of thing anymore. If these attitudes are true for the women who come to Kirkland, do we fulfill our responsibility to help students see the purpose of education beyond these categories once we get them here? Perhaps. My own greatest debt to Kirkland has to do with emotional and ideological growth. But ·did I gow because of or in spite of the institution? I could have experienced the intellectual growth at almost any school. Kirkland's "deficiencies" are why I came to Kirkland and not a school Iike Hamilton, and Adler reminded me of that. While many of Kirkland's problems stem from her proximity to Hamilton, we of course would not be here without Hamilton. We have to deal with the facts .as we find them. It is tempting to make negative comparisons; the important thing is to recognize our respective strengths while maintaining our identities, so �hat we are the best �olleges we can ·be. So what happened at Adler? My reactions here seem not only very generalized but also similar to what has been said before. A glance at an outline of the topics discussed could confirm that suspicion about Adler itself: the same old stuff, no great problems to solve, no real solutions. We ' have all been through different experiences here; Kirkland has been good to me so my feelings about things in general here may be unduly positive and complacent. A large ·part of the talking at Adler merely reinforced positive feelings about the colleges. Discussions were relaxed and low key. Topics were presented, discussed; and talked out rather quickly in many cases. It was certainly a pleasant way to get psyched for the com�ng semester ... Probably the only tangible results will be what. the individuals brought back. I found a different perspective, and saw a potential for community, enthusiasm, relationships through an exch,ange of ideas and a kind of mutual understanding and acceptance. Perhaps this will all fade with the first Clinton rains, I don't know. It is important for Hamilton-for both schools-to experience the kind of rejuvenation Adler provides, more important (for Kirkland anyway) to investigate the peculiar problems of Kirland and Hamilton's peculiar relationship. All I can suggest is that I personally gained a better understanding of what Kirkland is, and more respect for Hamilton. It would be a good thing for thi� reaction to spread, or at least to be made accessible to a wider range of the college population. Ignorance, mythology, and mis-directed good intentions exist in abundance on voth sides of the Hill. The lines of communication can be opened through exposure and the exchange of ideas and ideals. Kirkland is far from her ideal. If we at Kirkland are to understand why, more people have to understand what goes on across the street.

Poloists Top Colgate & Syracuse, Rough· Rematch Expected Wednesday

By R.A.G. KARL The Hamilton Water Polo Club upped its record to 3-0 this week with a pair of one goal victories. Monday the poloists travelled to Syracuse to play one of the toughest teams in upstate New York. • The Orangemen had handled th.e Hamilton team easily in the past two years, but H a mil ton's va s t ly improved def ense kept Syracuse from scoring for the first period. Early in the second period, however, Syracuse scored their first goal, and it seemed that they were going to dominate play. It was not until late in the half that the Con tin e ntals discovered they co u l d e f fectively p enetrate Syracuse's experienced defense. Freshman Phil (the Enforcer) Hawkins tied the score with about two minutes remaining. The S y r a c u s e t eam was surprised but not dismayed at the halftime score; Hamilton was surprised and encouraged. In the third period both teams ,played exceptional defense. Hamilton was led by Brad Johnson and John Navarre, who were called several times to thwart the Syracuse fast break. Midway through the quarter Hamilton accrued its tenth team foul, and Syracuse wa; awarded a man-up­ advantage for thirty seconds. The Or ang emen pounced on the opportunity and scored. By this p oint in the game Hamilton was confident of its ability to move ·the ball offensively, and it was not long ·after the Syracuse goal that Craig MacDonald countered with a score for the' Blue. The- third quarter ended with ,the score stµI tied.

offensevely and failed to take advantage of the wide pool in the first period. I n t h e s e c on d p e riod H am i l t on's perpetual motion machine, Dave Greenhalgh, got warmed up, and he and Bill McCann threw three shots past the C o l g a t e goalie. Colgate retaliated by trying to drown or maim the entire Hamilton team individually. The half ended with Hamilton winning the game, 3-1, but losing the skirmishes soundly. T e m p e rs flared_ on both benches during the half-time intermission, · and one of the referees came by to warn that he was now going to try to regain control of the slugfest. His promise was to be only half fulfilled. The brutalities continued,

Hamilton's Dave Greenhalgh and Bill McCann continued to pressure the Syracuse defense, but the Syracuse goal-tender matched Jeff Carlberg in quickness. Syracuse scored once more in the fourth period on a fast break when the Hamilton defense broke down, but the ball was soon back in the Syracuse. half of the pool where it had spent most of the period. Hamilton was controlling the play, but the Blue shots were usually misdirected. Finally, with about 3:30 remaining in the game, Dave Greenhalgh slipped a well placed shot past his little brother and the Syracuse goalie. Syracuse was by now genuinely distressed by the score and called for a time out to set up their offense. Once t h e Hamilton a ga i n defense-Johnson, Navarre, John Needham, and goalie Carlberg regained possession of the ball. With but fifteen seconds left in the game freshman Bill McCAnn rifled a shot into the goal, and the Hamilton water polo enthusiasts had triumphed in an extremely well-played 4-3 upset. The Syracuse match was but a tune-up for Wednesday's match against archrival Colgate. The C o n t i n entals t ravelled t o Hamilton fully psyched but not prepared for the peculiarities Colgate offered. Colgate's brand new swimming pool is more than twice as wide as. the familiar confines of Hamilton's Alumni Pool; t he- C olgate team is e x c e p t i o n a l l y l a r g·e and exceedingly physical; and the referees refused to control the game. Colga te scored first, compl e t e l y surprising Jeff Carlberg in the goal by taking a shot from half-tank. As in the Syracuse g a me the defense immediately stiffened while the offense was stifled. Hamilton was unable to control the ball

Colgate scored their second goal in this quarter on a full-tank shot which went over the head of Jeff Carlberg who had come out of the goal fo double team one of Colgate's more zealous fighters. Bill McCann scored his second goal of the game in the third quarte(, and defenseman Eric Kraus, who played an outstanding game, added another. Colgate come out in the fourth quarter still alive and kicking. They scored two goals in the final stanza to cut the Hamilton lead to one. The fighting was climaxed with · just under four minutes remaining when a Colgate player, a Mephistophelean grin crossing his otherwise simian features, attempted to separate the nose from the face of Brad Johnson. The attempt nearly succeeded, and Johnson was forced to leave the game. With 1 :45 left in the game Dave Greenpalgh scored his third and Hamilton's sixth goal. Colgate continued to pressure goalie Carlberg, and finally did score- w ith t h r e e se conds remaining, but by then the o u t com·e· was academic. The Continentals outlasted ColgaJe, 6-5. A rematch is slated for next Wednesday, October 9, at 7:30 in the Alumni Pool. The smaller pool m akes the .Iikelµ10od ·of an exc1t1ng contest . even greater. Colgate plays a physic.al game that r� l ies on t he i r· s i z e and considerable · swimming ability. ,Hamilton depends on finesse, tight c\efense, and depth from the bench. It should be a splendid evening of sports entertainment.

SPECTATOR SPORTS By DAVID WOLLMAN The Hamilton soccer team came off of last week's two wins with a loss against a respectable Rochester U. team. Our hooters were at Rochester for the context which resulted in a 4-1 defeat. The teams were evenly matched in skills, but the Rochester team seemed up for the game. Rochester scored early in the first half to go in front 1-0. Later in the period, Terepka and Daly combined talents to tie the score 1-1 which was the way the half ended. The Continentals faltered in the second half allowing three goals including a questionable penalty kick.- Hamilton was unable to score and the game -ended 4-1. On Wednesday, our socsters played against a perrenially weak The Utica College team.

Continentals breezed to an easy 9-0 victory with twenty-six of our players seeing action. Follansbee, Daly, Joyce, Pecham, Terepka, and Zwerner accounted for the Hamilton scoring. The team's record in now 3 wins against a single loss. They seem to have more confidence in themselves than in the past and are continuing to get stronger. Potsdam will be Hie team's next foe when they meet here Saturday at 12 :00. Paaprent confusion over lack of substitution should be cleared up at this time. In soccer, a coach is only allowed to substitute when the ball travels over on,e of the two end lines (not side lines). Often players will wait ten minutes after receiving wordto go in, before they are officially allowed to enter. Clear? See you at the game Saturday.

SCUBA DIVING OFFERED There will be a course in scuba diving offered at the Hamilton pool during October and November. The course fee is $50, which includes descriptive literature: text book, and all necessary equipment, except mask, fins and snorkel, which may be rented for $5.00.

Bates Overwhelms Continentals Blue Looks Ahead to Oberlin By C. JAMES CARR Jr . .

The Hamilton College football team played the Bates College f ootball team last Saturday in Lewiston, Maine. The weather was nice, the campus was pretty, the bars were friendly, and we lost the game 30-zip. The day started out well enough. The Hill-toppers got a rare glimpse of the sun. She peeked out from behind the clouds just as Sparky Godiksen, the Bobcats' six foot eight inch placekicker, teed up the pigskin for the opening kick-off. Dare we interpret the appearance of the sun as symbolic of better things to come? Nope. The Hamilton squad remains a dichotomy-tough capable defense, and no offense. Trite as it sounds, "you can't win ' football games withoug putting points on the scoreboard," and you can't score points when the defense plays three-quarters of the game. The Continentals haven't scored a touchdown via the rush in 12 consecutive games. They have not won in their last 15 starts. Enough said. No scoring in the first quarter, as the game is confined _ between the thirty-yard lines. Bates' leading receiver, Mark Shapiro drops touchdown toss. Score at the end of one quarter is Bates O, Visitors 0. Ten minutes are remaining in the first half.

Intramural Update

With the race for the trophy in full swing, the upcoming X - country meet provides an excellent. opportunity for teams to pick up a few extra points toward the coveted cup. Teams will consist of seven runners; five will count in scoring. Individuals may enter and bump. The course and distance will be chosen by Gene Long. Everyone is eligible except junior varsity and varsity cross-country runners. A house may enter as many teams as it wishes; however, only one will count f,.- points toward the lntram�.� trophy. The event will be held Thursday, Oct. 10 at 4 p.m. Rain caused some problems for last weekend's tennis tournament. Those persons with matches still unplayed should get done as soon as the weather permits. Attested 18-hole golf scorecards are due Sunday Oct. 6, at 7 p.m. Turn scorecards in to Bill Hooke at . Theta Delta Chi. If you have any questions concerning intramural sports on the Hill call Bill Hooke at Theta Delta Chi (853-8063) or Sharon Kelly (X4949).

"But there is no joy in Mudville--Mighty Casey has struck out"' I developed a bad habit this summer, I started I developed a bad habit this summer. I started going to the track. I would place a two dollar show bet on any 2-1 shot but never-with my income and sobriety-would I put a cent on a 50-1 shot. but that only goes for horses. You see, I'm a Yankee fan, and the 1974 Yankees were the 50-1 shot that had my two bucks. The Yankees ended last season without a manager and most fans will tell you that they played last season without a second basemam. In Feb�ary, the Yankees had a manager for two days, and there was two days of short-lived ecstasy for Yankee fans. Dick Williams in pinstripes. They couldn't believe it. They didn't have to believe it because it didn't last. Just like Joe Sisco, Williams wasn't around very long. The managerial duties were passed on to Bill Virdori, whose only claim to fame in New York City was the ground ball that turned the 1960 World Series into theKubek Series. Virdon's quiet enthusiasm instilled in to the Yankee players the belief that they were winners even though they read every day that they were losers.

They were bad. Virdon and the Yankee management knew that. So exit Horace Clarke and good-bye to half the Yankee pitching staff and three quarters of owner George Steinbrenner's checkbook. President Gabe Paul showed a lot of courage by trading for Chris Chambliss and Dick Tidrow (and even more courage by accepting Cecil Upshaw along with them). Bill Virdon suffered even _more criticism than Paul did by switching the Yankees' excuse for a superstar from centerfield to right to make way for a young nobody with a good glove and a questionable bat. But Elliott Maddox produced, as his.310 batting average and 19 assists prove. All season long, Virdon m<!de decisions. like that -decisions that Yankee fans hadn't seen executed in over a decade. They were seeing baseball being played again.

The Yankee season didn't start until August. After Aug. 1, the Yankees won 65 per cen-t of their ballgames. Everybody says that it was the acquisition of Sandy Alomar that turned the Yankees ar01p1d. But it wasn't just Alomar; it was all of the journeymen who finally found a home in New York City. Men like Mike Wallace, Larry 'Gura, Rudy May, Jim Mason-who weren't exactly household names. Maybe they were in Syracuse and Toledo but not in major league cities. By August they became major leaguers par excellence. My two dollar bet looked better and better. They play_ed 1974 with their best pitcher out for the season and their best hitters 25 points and many home runs below their averages. To top it off, they played all 162 games as a visiting team and at least half of them as strangers to each o tlier. Throughout May, the papers spoke of the "deal-a-day" management and how the morale on the team made the Bounty look like a boy scout troop. Bill Virdon handled it, and he molded the players into a team that Dick Young described as more miraculous than the 1973 Mets and the 1951 Giants of Coogan's Bluff. The memories of May, June, and July disappear quickly when there is a pennant race in August and September. But now it's all over- 162 games and they fell one game short- I know that if one of those eight game losing streaks in May had been a six game losing streak I'd be in Shea Stadium for my first World Series. That's all right, my two dollar bet was for place. The only sad thing is that I won't see odds like that again for a long, long time.

Martin Plans to Restrict McEwen Vegetarian Meals

By SUSAN MALKIN A proposal to offer the vegetarian dinner entree only to those students who register as vegetarians with the college was unanimously passed by the Kirkland Food Committee Tuesday and will be put into effect after midsemester break. The purpose of the plan is "to provide better quality food for the vegetarians," according to Anne· Martin, director of Service ·Systems for the colleges. It is also expected to in�ure that enough food is prepared to. service the 50-60 strict vegetarians on campus. Under the present system, student choice of three entrees has presented Service Systems · with the problem of determining the quantity of dishes to prepare. A quality vegetarian dish has �£ten been preferred over a meat dish, and vegetarians. arriving late to dinner have sometimes found the meatless entree gone.

Students Question CAP Proposal; January Internships Debated By KEVIN McGOWAN At an open meeting yesterday afternoon, Hamilton's Committee on Academic Policy (CAP) answered student questions on the proposed revision of the 4-1-4 curriculum. The proposal under discussion recommends increasing the number of courses required for graduation to 35 and counting winter study projects as regularly graded courses. Professor of History Edwin B. Lee, chairman of the CAP, opened the discussion with a brief history of faculty disenchantment with the winter study program. Lee said that in 1972, the faculty reported to the CAP that it strongly favored a calendar of two 15-week semesters.

"F acuity did not regard winter study as a non-academic interval," said Lee, ''but some students looked at it differently." Lee said the CAP subsequently rejected plans for a trimester calendar, which would involve "bookkeeping" difficulties, and a two-semester calendar, which would extend into the summer months. Faculty Discontent Lee outlined the sources of faculty di son tent. He said it takes an "inordinate" amount of time to prepare winter study courses which vary yearly. "Some students put forth minimal effort," said Lee, "and, according to students, some teachers did the same." Student support, however, deterred the CAP from elim in ating· w i nter study Power on the Hamilton campus altogether. "In the past, there was discontent student will be interrupted between 7 :00 continual a.m. and 12:00 noon Sunday, about the substance of winter Oct. 13 so that a high voltage study," Lee said.· But when the connection may· be made to South committee announced it was Dormitory and to the Sage Rink. considering changes, the students supported" Commons, Bundy Djn.ing Hall, '' o verw helmingly and the Bristol Snack Bar will be retaining some form of t_ he 4-1-4 closed.

Letters to the Editor Nobody's Daddy To the Editor: The b asic thrust of your October 4 editorial is well-placed but you fail to deal with what appears to be a growing trend in Hamilton College's view of its relationship with its students. This trend has been reflected in the­ pages of The Spectator all year. First we read a proposal which dissects Winter Study beyond recognition; now we hear the ' ' d i s t r i b u tio n phrase r e q u i r e m e n t s" w h i s p e red furtively. There are obvious points to be made on both sides of each but the present i s s u e, considerations· reflect an ugly attitudinal trend on the part of the various administrative bodies of this college. That trend involves conceptions of students' maturity and responsibility. The basis of the proposed and/or rumored curricular changes displays _ the lack of trust and responsibility accorded to the students of this college. Students are viewec\ as out to get through their four year "term" with a minimum of work and intellectual benefits. The proposition that a student might attend Hamilton because he seriously desires to learn something seems to find little support among various and administrators faculty; college, that instead, . the institution of parental wisdom and guidance, must stand ready to

Katherine Moore senility. No kidding. Dig this: protect the student from himself. It must tell him what is good for him. It seems as if the college sees its relationship with the student as one of a determined father trying to force-feed his screaming and kicking baby. The only way for a student to develop m a t urity and responsibility is to have these qualities expected of him, and taken for granted by the college. As long as students are treated as children who don't know what's good· for them, they will tend to act exactly in that manner. There comes a point in life when an individual must ·shed his reliance on institutional parentalism, and take responsibility for himself � a mature adult. Hamilton College seems to feel that the time has not yet arrived for its students. David Ruben

After two nights on the job, she said that she had no trouble and was enjoying her duties. Porcelli said, however, that she had gotten several surprised looks ,from students she has met. She also expressed amazement at the late hours some students keep. Porcelli is paid the same salary as all other full-time security guargs and performs the same duties.She keeps an eye on the dorms and buildings, unlocks doors in the morning, checks for burned out lights, fires, illegal parking, and investigates reported c!i,sturbances.

October 11, 1974/THE SPECJ" A:rOR./S

Beating the Batter By SUSAN MALKIN For a man who "doesn't eat sweets, never liked them, never w,11," Jake Veerhoven certainly knows how to bake them. Jake the Baker, as he is more commonly known, is the owner of the Clinton Home Bakery, and is credited with making the best hot raisin bread and pies, coookies, doughnuts and homemade baked beans in the Utica metrqx>litan area . But it is his raisin bread that makes him famous. This special raisin bread, with four · times as much sugar and twice as many eggs as white bread, represents his claim to culinary fame. But for those students who make midnight ventures to Jake's and do not exercise moderation, this same raisin bread contracts into a heavy, dead weight that sits in their stomachs. Regardless of the side-effects, every Friday night some thirty-five' loaves of raisin bread are gone before they are cold"' Business Booking "They sell so fast, I just don't have time to make enough,'{ Jake complained as he prepared the dough for the second batch of raisin bread. "I've never had to make so many pies, 11

or a second batch of brownies in one night. Since September, I've just been too busy. .,. "It's the college kids coming down for the bread," he claims. "One will buy a pie and everybody thinks they have to buy a pie. Its so hard to figure out wh�t to make anymore." Friday night is the only night Jake bakes raisin bread, and Jake realizes that the Friday midni_ght·trip into town for the b r e ad is fast be coming a Hamilton/Kirkland tradition. Some student interruptions don't bother Jake-in fact he likes them. "Baking's rather routine after a while. It doesn't take much once you are used to it," he said. No Help However, this year, with the1increase in student visits, Jake said that it is harder to manage the sales and baking by himself. He hires no help except a "morning girl" who does the finishing up jobs such as icing the cookies and glazing pies. A slam of the outside screen door will summon Jake, complete with doughy hands, from the back kitchen to wait on custoners. A glance at the clock will send him hurrying to the .oven to take out a

Measuring Flour batch of cookies before they burn. And thirty-five more raisin bread loaves must be kneaded and rolled before they can be put in the oven. For a paunchy, stocky man, Jake moves quickly and deftly in his small crowded kitchen. He welcomes students to come into his kitchen with only one admonition: 'Stay put, and don't move around." Between the huge flour-covered table that sits in the cent6r of the room and the bulky baking machinery which lines the walls, a Iittle passageway provides barely enough room for Jake to get through. The kitchen is cluttered with· cooling racks filled with cakes and cookies, a deep fat fryer, a kneading machine, and various other obstructions. The floor, too, with a mound of broken eggshells in one corner and broken sacks of flour in another adds to the obstacle course. But twelve years. in the same shop enables Jake to scurry around with assurance, avoiding any collisions. Bakers Gotto Eat Jake has baked since he was 15 when he began· as an apprentice in Holland. "During the Second World War, everybody was hungry. Bakers were the only guys

who got anything and didn't have to go to: war. So I became a baker." Jake's baking has taken him to Scandinavia, Michigan and Holland, but he had always worked as an employee. Clinton is the first place in which he has owned his own bakery. "I love my own store, but sometimes you're better off not having it. Government involvement, control lisences, a paper for this, a paper ofr that, it's too ·much. I just get tired of it, but I'm not the only one, you know.­ Som·e bakers just give up." Inflation

Aside from government interference, inflation has also hit Jake's business. "I can't make too many pies anymore; the price of fruit is just too high. I couldn't afford to have any left over." Jake works a "six-night" week, generally from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. except on Friday when he begins at six in the evening and puts in a 16 hour night The extra time enables him to bake the r�isin · bread which is a long, arduous, 6-hour process. Other nigh.ts he generally limits himself to baking pies, cookies, doughnuts, apple strudel, tarts, eclairs, brownies, cakes, dinner rolls, pastries. . :..i.. not to mention baked beans.

· Judiciary Board Hears Football Player As_sault Case A Hamilton football player, class of 1976, will be brought before the Judiciary Board tonight o n charges tha:t he assaulted a Hamil ton student in the gym locker-room Saturday afternoon a fter the Oberlin football game. T h e hearing, which will be closed in accord with the wishes of the defendeant, was called at the request of the al leged victim, who is a black member of the freshman class and not a football player, according to Dean of Students R. Gordon Bingham. Eric Kraus '7 6, chairman of the Judiciary Board, declined to comment ·about the incident or t he u p coming hearing, saying that he diµ not want to prejudice the case. Kraus also refused to identify the principals in the proceedings. When asked why he would not �comment, he said, "It is not on c onstitutional grounds-this is j u s t m y per sonal opinion as ch'airman of the Judiciary Board.

ldentifications

However, Sidney Bruton '78, who identified himsel f as the a l leged victim, named Vincent Puleo '76 as the alleged assailant. This identification was confirmed by William Ferris '75, a member of the football team and other witnesses to the altercation. According to Bingham, who s a i d that the details of the alleged assault were unclear, the altercation occurred on the stairs between the two locker-room l eve l s , and moved upstairs between two rows of l ockers. Saying that what he knew of the event was what he had been told by various people, Bingham said that the freshmazn went to the hea l t h c enter after the incid_ent with swelling in the l o w e r a b d o m e n a n d was Bingham: No excuse administered an ice pack.

"Racial Epithets" Although Bingham said when asked that he did not believe the altercation, at the outset, was a ra cial incident,added that, "In the heat of it, there were some racial epithets thrown around as · far as I have been told." The dean speculated that the Judiciary Board may consider the crux of the case a question of provocation. First however, one msut determine that there is such a things as a provocative act and what effect if any a prrof of p r ovocation would have on a decision, Bingham said. Bingham added, however, "I think w e ' d all be concerned [ about the incidynt] whether racial overtones were involved or not. This [the racial overtone] adds another dimension to it."

Clay, - Ali, Champ

In 1964, on an unheralded night, in an unheralded event, a young, brash boxer gained the world heavyweight title and laid the foundations for becoming the· greatest }:leavyweight of all time. Cassius Marcellus Clay VII was undefeated as a heavyweight for six years, five months and held the title for three years until he was KO'd by Uncle Sam (a light-heavyweight at best). You can tell me about the speed and agility of Joe Louis, the power of Joe Frazier, and the strength of Marciano - but the man who could combine all of these qualities into his TKO'd career is Muhammad Ali Hajaka Cassius Clay. You can talk about George Foreman knocking out the strongest heavyweight of the seventies, Joe Frazier, in the second round. But Muhammad Ali did away with Sonny Liston (certainly one of the most unsung champions) in 1:57 of the first round Along with being· one of the foremost poets of our age, Ali was certainly the greatest drawing card of th-e sixties. At a time when other sports found themselves in leaner times - baseball was being overhauled, football was being dominated by the Packers, and people south of the Mason-Dixon hadn't even heard of hockey and basketball - Ali brought boxing to the point where a good fighter could earn more money in an hour than a baseball player could earn in ten years (perh ap s Gerald Ford should outlaw Muhammad Ali to fight inflation). Muhammad Ali's greatest crime was �enating conservative sections of the boxing establishment. And by changing his name to Muhammad Ali, he developed black consciousness while James Meredith was still trying to get into the University of Mississippi, dodgingsniper's bullets. Ali's flambuoyancy made him an antagonist of white society as all the cards were being stacked against him. While Americans still thought that there was something to fight for in Southeast Asia Ali's religious convictions prevented him from accepting the immoral war. That was all they could take, the World Boxing Association raised its ugly head and stripped him of his title. But a court doesn't beat a boxer. And a legal system does not erode his skills. When the People's Champion came back after a three-year layoff, it was evident that "the greatest" was approaching middle age. At an age when most men will sit down on a Sunday afternoon with their can of beer, Ali took on boxing's champion. He pummelled, mutilated, and disfigured him, but he lost. His mythical championship lay solely in Joe Frazier's hands. But even in defeat, Ali showed that he could take. what he could put out and the shadow of his former talents can stay in the ring with boxing's present greats. This is not to say that Ali will beat George Foreman in Zaire two weeks fr9m now. Foreman was a junior in high school when Ali won his title. Now Foreman's a little bit bigger and a. little bit stronger. And a lot younger than Ali. Maybe Father Time will forget Ali in Zaire and let him box like he used to - one last fight of floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee. One ·more Ali Shuffle. And come .,, on, Zora, call him '_'Muhammad."

platforms, hard-soled shoes, and grand pianos, many social a£tivities usurp the use of the gymn asium from Physical Education classes, varsity sports, and intramurals. Long cited other specific reasons for his contention that "we are close to outgrowing the present facility": inadequate locker and shower room facilities for Kirkland students insufficient number of squash and handball courts only one team room for varsity sports Visiting inadequate Team rooms major repairs needed on the filters in the pool leaky roof in the ·gymnasium worn floor boarqs in the gym and in the squash courts Improvements Welcome If Hamilton is to attract fine student-athletes to its athletic programs the present facilities By DAVID WOLLMAN should be updated, according to The Hamilton Soccer team Long.

Blue Rackets In Action Poloists Still - Strong By RICHARD MURPHY Our tennis team finally got some decent weather and, after two previous matches were cancelled, played Utica College last Saturday. There were no Hamilton players who were even contested as they marched to a nine zero victory. Tom Griffith, who plays number one, had a bad day and still beat his man 6-3, 6-2. No other Hamilton player lost more than three games in a set to a Utica opponent. Tom Pirodsky registered the only shutout. He allowed his opponent a miserly four points in the whole first set. On Tuesday, Hamilton met Binghamton . Scott and Allan, our four and five players were unable to play. Rowan, usually number nine in the line-up; jumped to four and held, 7-5, 6-3. Tom Griffith won a tough match, 7-5, 6-4. Tom Pirodsky and Jim Carr also won their singles matches giving us the lead, 4-2. We swept the doubles matches 3-0. Pirodsky and Worden lost the first one 5-7, but came back 6-4, 6-0. Griffith and Spillane outclassed ]Binghamton's best doubles team 6-2, 6-1.

B.P.R.U. Speaks �EDITO.RIAL. . . The Days of Old SAC Coriun:itment The recent request for Student Activities Committee (SAC) funding of a charity function, made by Kirkland senior Lisa Blank for the Nov. 2· benefit dance for La Gran Familia, brings to light questions about the_ committee's mandated fiscal responsiliilities. The SAC is chartered to "act in behalf of the student bodies in providing a varied program of social events for the campus community," according to the organizations' constitution. The SAC's . $50 contribution t.owatd the benefit, which equals the committee's donation t.o the -".'I)elta Kappa Epsilon Muscular Dystrophy benefit last year, · will probably raise- no hackles here. However, the committee had unwarrantedly offered to the sponsors of this year's charity oenefit whl;l.t would hav� been a more generous arrangement. Richard -Koffs, treasurer of SAC, said that the committee, which had planned to give its own dance Nov. , 2, offered to give the charity any profit it realized from its event. Wanting to stage their own function, however, the promoters of the charity benefit did not accept the SAC offer and the SAC later decided to give them its spot on ,· the calendar. Nevertheless, SAC was prepared to offer the · profit if would have realized from its dance - an offer that · should never have been made. Profits from any SAC function rightly belong t9/ social tax holders, whose annual $35 contributions underwrite SAC events. The SAC is supposed to provide social events for the campus community, primarily for those who pay social tax. Notwithstanding the merits of any charity, the SAC would act inappropriately if it depletes: its resources through charitable donations. It should, rather,. sincerely attempt . to increase its revenues wherever. possible, especially in light of SAC claims that it does not have the money to woo top name concert acts or to subsidize Coffeehouse entertainment on a weekly basis.

Many White liberals on both campuses preach that "you've come a long way baby" philosophy. They talk about how things have changed �nd about how much progress has been made, in race relationships. Has progress really been made when a White student can call a Black student a "nigger," in full view of Hamilton staff �embers and students? Has progress been made when two football players in full uniform vent their racist aggressions on a Black Hamilton student and only two others step in to help? Has progress been made when someone gets reprimanded for_ defending himself? No-!- This is not progress. This is not even change. These things have been happening all along. Our past silence has··not been a sign of acceptance. The past few incidents on both sides of the Hill have sensitized us to the need for change. Change in administrative policy. Change in faculty attitudes. Change in liberal students' views. Change/people, change! _ . We have changed enough. In the past, we have accepted your irrational decisions on: how we live, 1

Pemie Gilbert '73, '74, '75 Appreciation To the Editor: Since school is now in session and your newspaper is again being widely read, I want to make known my appreciation to all the students who participated in the development and passage of the. Tuition Assistance Program. The vital concern exhibited in this legislation by students throughout the State impressed me as being a n e·x a m p l e of j us tified self-interest in a program which, if passed, would have far-reaching effects on their lives and their families'; however, it was more than tha;:. It ·was also a willing dialogue which can and should occur between kgislators and citizens. I am grateful to everyone who took part in that dialogue. - The Select Committee on H i g h e r E d ucation, w hich originated TAP, hopes to hold several hearings early next year in order to solicit suggestions for improving the Tuition Assistance Program. I feel that a program as complex as this must constantly be r efined to maintain its effectiveness. The hearings will be publicly announced and your participation would be more than welcome.

where we sleep, what we eat, who we see, how we speak, and what, where; who,, and how we learn. Even now we must accept the decision of a group of some Whfre students, the Judiciary Board, concerning a Black and White issue. There are those who would like to believe that this is not a racial issue. Any thing that concerns one of us concerns all of us and therefore, our mere existence here becomes a racial issue. Black and Latin students on these campuses constitute three percent of the population. Just because we are the minority doesn't mean we will be silent when asked to, by the majority. We consider it an affront when a Black Hamiltonian is physically attacked'by White Hamilton athletes, as . college staff passively witnesses �e incident. Is passivity the "new" policy of the college on race relationships? If it is, the Black and Latin Class of '78 should be the last Black and Latin class, at Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges.

During his term, Sherman, a devoted many fair causes."

He studied in the office of Each return home prompted considerable

fanfare. Together he and Taft defeated William Jennings Bryant and John W. Kem. During his term, Sherman was considered by some an ideal politician. In one Taft history one colleague was reported to have said, "I never knew any man who was so long in public life with the jealousles and animosities which are incidental to such a career, who enjoyed such an unusual degree of affection from his fellow citizens of both parties." Relations between he and the President

were considered particularly good. A great deal of advising went on between the two men. A golf enthusiast, Sherman often played with the President, making them the first executive team to be acquainted socially. Use Patronage Yet, Sherman was not always in accord with Taft. Early in his administration Taft was forced to consider the use of patronage as a means of disciplining uncooperative congressmen. While the President remained reluctant to use it, Sherman was quoted in one history as saying, "You have other weapons but appointing power is your only club." -• Even as the President's subordinate, Sherman r e mained s teadfast and outspoken in his opinions. He was a leader in the effort against the attempt to make silver the standard value either alone or with gold. On evaluating the economic situation of other countries, Sherman concluded that the American market was the best market in the world, and that competition , with conditions so different in other highly organized industrial natio.ns should not be able to deteriorate the standard of American wages and living. Sherman remained firm at a time when a large percent of the press of the United States opposed this idea, imperilling his renomination for the Vice-Presidency. Liberal Interpretation Convinced that the nation had the power to do everyt4ing required for the common welf�re, he favored a liberal interpretation of the written Constitution. Friction did occur between the heads of state when Sherman used Taft's name · without his authorization in behalf of his own candidacy for chairman of the Republican's. state convention. The party endorsed Sherman instead of Roosevelt, humiliating the former President. In 1912, Sherman agreed to run again in the following election. Although aware he had an incurable heart disease, Sherman a ccepted t he nomination for �he Vi ce-Presi dency at the Republican National Convention. On October 30, 1912, only days before the election, James Schoolcraft Sherman died. Utica Monument The city of Utica erected- a bronze statue to commemorate their native son. In a memorial address, the City of New York Republican Club once said of Sherman, "His steadfast loyalty to his alma mater, in subsequent years, is today a precious legacy at Hamilton-where his memory will ever remain green and the record of his achievements an inspiration to high aim and ardent endeavor."

Players Jo Pe__rform · Gilbert .and Sullivan

If you are partial to the musical-comedy genre, and then again even if you're not, the world of Gilbert and Sullivan is certain to delight you. These English composers are responsible for numerous one-act operettas, and foremost among them are ''Trial by Jury" and "Cox and Box." "Trial by Jury" and "Cox and Box" will be presented by the Alexander Hamilton Players Oct. 18-20 in the Chapel. In presenting . their current double bill, the Players turn to . two of the earliest extant Gilbert and Sullivan .operas. "Trial by Jury" is a perfect little gem of h u mor. Like the "Precieuses Ridicules" with which Moliere began his career, "Trial" is a miniature masterpiece of realistic satire. The goings-on at Old Bailey d u r ing t he h e ar i n g Q f a breach-of-promise case provide Gilbert with the opportunity to poke light-hearted fun at the venerable institution of English law which he knew' so well. if its

Reggae Music Powers Jimmy Cliff in Jamaica's"The Harder They Come"

By TOM BECK Quick-what's Reggae? If you said right field for the O akland A's, you strike out. If you said Jamaic an folk-rock music, you get a gold star. Jimmy Cliff, a regg ae singer, stars in "The Harder They Come," the fir st film m ade in Jamaic a by Jamaicans. And it's strong. Strong music, strong Jimmy Cliff, strong action (including a lot of needless violence) and strong points to m ake concerning exploitation and corruption. Unfortunately, the film is haphazardly put together, occasionally misdirected, and a little hard to follow. But these quibble s don't matter in the end. Ivan Uimmy Cliff) comes to the city to see his mother, and to make it big. He wander s through. the city, getting swindled and not finding work. Eventually, he follows his mother's advice and goes to see her preacher. Working in Preacher's yard, repairing a bicycle, he falls in love with Elsa, Preacher's ward. After falling out with Preacher, Ivan leaves, but Preacher refuses to let him take his bike. In an overly bloody scene, Ivan knifei;: one of Preacher's men, and repeatedly slashes him across the face. Ivan finally cuts a record, called "The Harder They Come," and after trying to peddle it him self, he sells it to Hilton the producer (Bobby Charlton) for 20 dollars. But Hilton decides not to push it, to- ."teach him a lesson." Ivan starts to dress well and spend freely, and pretty soon he's broke. Then he gets sucked into the "ganja" (marijuana) trade, 'which is controlled by the police, The Set-up When Ivan · refu ses to make a payment, he is set up to be arrested. He kills the cop and becomes a fugitive; then he kills three more a nd becomes a star. ''The Harder They Come" is soon a hit song, an_d Ivan's na�e is scrawled everywhere. The police cut off the drug tr ade to smoke him out. Finally, Elsa set s him up, and after failing in an attempt to escape to Cuba, he is killed by the police on a sm all isl and. Reduced to its story line, ''T�e Harder They Come" seems · to have no plot. Yet the movie is

fresh and absorbing, mainly becuase it deals with a different culture arid lifestyle. Di re ctor Perry Henzell obviously know s his community, and the film has the grit and texture of reality. Depth and Insight

More importantly, the film raises questions about the nature of exploitation and corruption. Also, the desperation of the sh anty town, the t awdry gambling parlors and crowded the marketplace, and the people's jubilant reception of Ivan as a hero give the film depth and human insight. Yet some problems still remain. First, shot on poor 35 millimeter color stock with a jiggling camera, the film looks cheap. Second, there is too inucl! violence. Third, the dialogue i s in

a marvellous native p atois which i s

hard to understand- sub-titles are

spor adic and insufficient.

The film's bigge st fl aw i s th at Ivan i s the only fully-developed char act<;r. E�sa is the eternally devoted wom an every hero h as. Hilton i s a typical stage willain in his greed and megaloma ni a.

Except for Cliff and Charlton, most of the cast seem s to have been dr awn from the ghetto streets , and thi s lends authenticity and vibra nce to the film. The direction tend s to be mainly fa st-moving and erratic, except for the glorious closing scene. The insi stent regg ae music pul ses underneath the film, and occa sionally the camera work surpri ses. And the film's s implistic moments and facile ironie s are overpowered by the total strength of its message.

UJ/fee House Begins Food Operation; Lack of .Organization Caused Delays By JOHN M. McNEEL The McEwen Coffee House began serving food and beverages this week, despite organizational difficulties that hindered attempts to open earlier. Aiming to eliminate a lack of organization that resulted in problems last year, the Joint Auxiliary Services Commitee will meet Monday afternoon to discU:ss proposals to restructure Coffee House operations. The committee will attempt to formalize the management of the food service, while retaining the atmosphere of a student-run business. The Coffee · House is still suffering · from a lack .of proper supervision, which last year resulted in poor bookkeeping and general inefficiencies. Hamilton and Kirkland originally supervised the operation through the Dean of St ude nt, Affairs Office, but relinquished that responsibility this year. Run by Itself Dean of Students R. Gordon Bingham said the colleges "want to see the Coffee House run in a consistently efficient manner so that we don't have to watch it all the time." "There's no way now to prove that the sloppy administration that hurt the Coffee House in the first semester of last year won't happen again." One option that the Auxiliary Services Committee considered was handing the management of the House over to Services Systems. At the present time, it is the only food service on either campus that is not controlled by Service Systems. "The Coffee H ouse is the one exception to the contract that

No Forced Supervision While Martin said that Service Systems is not planning to insist that they take over the Coffee House, she said there is a definite need for supervision of -the operation. Karin Keane, a member of the Auxiliary Services Committee who is trying to reorganize the op e r ation s of t he C o f f e e Housefood service said that while while she recognizes the need for more business-like ma:nagement, she is interested in keeping it a student- run operation. Keane said she will propose that the colleges hire a supervisor to oversee the operations of the Coffee House, possibly a student, and that all regular employees be

Tennis Team _Ends Fall Season

By RICHARD MURPHY Hamilton tennis closed its fall schedule Friday, abused 8-1 by a very potent Rochester squad. All of our singles men were beaten soundly. Dave Schutt hung on to win his first set 7-6, but went down 6-2, 6-0 in the next two sets. No one else took a singles set. Rochester's first doubles team delivered a convincing beating to G r i f f i t h and Spillane. Tom Pirodsky and Bob Worden edged the first set, but sank 6-2, 6-3. Allen and Carr scored Hamilton's s o l i t a r y p oi n t , tr ouncing Rochester's last doubles. The season ended 2-2. One match was cancelled due to poor weather. The spring promises new life though. Tom Griffith, who described himself as "tennised out" from playing so much this summer, will be sharper than ever a f t e r a restful · winter with

CoachBatt in the Sage Rink. Team captain, John Hutchins, who played soccer during the fall, will be playing come spring. He used to vie with Caswell for number o'ne last year. Rumor has it that D avi d Wo llman, starting in football this fall after playing soccer for two years, will be playing tennis inste.ad of golf this spring. "Crazy Dave" was ranked in the middle states in high school and should prove a great asset for the team. Coach Batt also points out that a number of his top players have improved tremendously not only from last year to this year, but from the beginning of this fall season till now. He specifically mentioned Phil Spillane, Bob Worder and Tom Pirodsky. He expects their trend to continue thru spring. Coach Batt also stressed the

Kirkland Sports View

Strong, Stronger, Strongest

FEINGOLD AND SHOEN The Oakland Athletics once again proved that they are the best team in baseball by beating the qest team in baseball. All summer long, tqe Los Angeles Dodgers were touted as the best of the best. After· all, the experts said, the Dodgers did have half of thestarting players on the National League All-Star team. And we· all know that the NL is the better league. In some segments of society they call it th-e Major League. They wouldn't say it so many times if it weren't true. But the A's constantly refute it. They constantly beat the best teams from the NL (alright, 2 out of 3 times-they beat the best. But still...). It seems as if the A's are addicted to the World Series trophy. Will they ever give it up?

* * * * *

They came into this series a heavy underdog. Everybody talked about the abundance of talent on the Dodgers and its youth. But, as Reggie Jackson said when it was all over, ''We playrd with a little more poise and a little more experience." That tells most of the story. The A's have talent. Lots of it. They have, by far, the best bullpen in the major leagues. They have, at least, the best all-around ballplayer in the American League. Reggie Jackson is the kind of man who can turn any team around. But with the players �e A's have, he merely set them on the right course. There's Bert Campanaris , Sal Bando, Bill North, Joe Rudi, Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue, Ken Holtzman, and Rollie Fingers. All of these men can be called "superstars.". Could it be that the shinin_g talent of the Dldgers blinded people from seeing the superior talent of the Athletics? Even Alvin Dark could�'t prevent the A's from winning it again.

* * * * *

This has to be the sweetest victory for the A's. The first victory was sweet, sure. And last year's victory was probably one of the prime causes of Charlie Finley's heart condition. But this 'year the A's proved it. They proved that they could hit home runs off of Mike Marshall, and they proved that they could tum over the double

As the Dean Search Committee begins to narrow down the field of first round candidates, it appears that two men have distinguished themselves as the most promising of the remaining five. They are the second and sixth candidates interviewed. Both men, however, have asked the committee to hold their candidacies in confidence. The two men understand that their names will be made public by the committee if they reach the second round which will include opportunities for wide exposure to the college community. The Spectator, which learned the names of the candidates, decided· to honor their request for anonymity in light of the exploratory nature of the first round and the delicate professional situations in which both men said they found themselves. On the basis of impressions and opinions the men conveyed when interviewed, however, judgements of their candidacies can be made. Coming from outside the Hamilton community, both men are active members of their own prestigious institutions. They promise to introduce fresh ideas and an element of objectivity that has been lacking in the present administration which has followed a path of incestuous procreation. The next dean of the college, who deals most closely with the Hamilton faculty, will have to contend· with the problem of low junior faculty morale in the face of a tenuous tenure situation and reportedly inadequate salaries. He will also have to evaluate the performance of · senior, tenured faculty, some of whom have not been as active as they should, and determine corrective measures, whether they be mere prodding or the institution of salary cuts. The dean will have to be able to deal intimately and freely with Kirkland Dean of Academic Affairs Catherine Frazer and other members of the Kirkland community. Lastly, the dean will have to respond to Hamilton students' concerns _about graduate school admissions, grade inflation, and curricular freedom. . The second candidate, who is a department chairman at a public university, was apprently brought to his present position to supervise a staff shake-up. Although he is in his early thirties, the candidate has proven his ability to attract and command the respect of other scholars thus maintaining high professional standards of teaching �d scholarship. The sixth man, who is the most distinguished scholar of the first round candidates, is a department chairman at one of the most respected colleges in the country. Able to attract exceptfonally qualified faculty, the candidate, if made dean, would bring to Hamilton a luster it presently lacks. Based tipon their credentials and the positive personal impressions they conveyed, the second and sixth candidates appear at this point to be the most qualified to fulfill the varied responsibilities of dean while commanding the cooperation of the college constituencies with which either ·of them will have to work. We strongly urge that the Search Committee invite these two men for a second interview.

Hallowed Hollows

By VINCENT L. DiCARLO Ha lloween . I t has been nearly imp ossible to ignore the sense of anticipation with which the Hill has awaited that celebration of inchoate imaginings of powers unknown and beings unseen. After all. if there is any physical setting conducive to the production of vaguely supernatural figments it is that of this campus at precisely this season of the year. Anyone watching the sere leaves being whirled and buffeted by a wind indifferent to all but its own whining lament may be forgiven if he imagines that what he is really seeing in the cold grey light is the torment of poor damned �� One can't avoid thinking in Autumn that · the desolation of the milder seasoD$" greenery is due to an agency of malignant purpose. . The same mist that drains the color from, and softens the outlines of, objects any further than a few feet from an observer seems also to mitigate the rigid strictures of natural law. so that the dim sight ol: trolls cavorting clumsily among the trees of Root Glen would be-greeted with only a mild sort ot surprise. There is a sense of the immanence of potent supernatmal agents of change. AsThales said, alfthings are full of demons.- and in October the demons seem to be tantalizingly close to �ibility. Not unlikely. then. is the heightening of the mystical sense among students of both colleges. What is puzzling is the poignant quality of yearning apparent in those who have been swept up in the spirit of October country. Their desire to believe in the existence of mysterious personal powers in the w�rld -has an almost desperate quality. Petbaps the educational experience itself has something to do-with this quality of urgency in students' celebration of HaBoween.. Common to most courses given at Hamilton in departments as diverse as chemistry and philosophy is a preoccupation with the epistemological underpinnings of the discipline involved. The problem with thus exposing the foundations of a complex of

beliefs about the world is that they are seen for what they are-presuppositions. If one were to commit oneself to supporting these foundations he would soon find himself in ·the position of the man who �ys- that the ·world rests· on the backs of elephants• only to be asked what the elephants stand on. On the other hand, an . u n qu estio n ing a cce p t ance of the epistem o logical assumptions of, for example, chemistry leads to no disastrous consequences, since any challenge to the assumptions may adequately be answered by the observation that if you want to do chemistry this is what you do. If you Sin ce H aUoween celebrates - the don't use empirical methods you may be an alchemist but a chemist you will never unknown, the unseen and the mysterious, it is the symbol of the only absolute belief be.

And if of belief (e.g., scientific) but rather unqualified belief.

I question the ability of this committee to choose responsibly among these proposals wlien they do not take the trouble to interview more than a favored few.

Does be feel capable of evaluating the worth of someone he doesn't know on the basis of this one page? Wouldn't preference be given to someone who has proved himself a serious student in one of Richardson's classes rather than to a student who is a stranger to him? If the committee wishes to act without bias, then why are interviews granted only to seven people? . H the complaint of this committee is a lack of time. then more people should be put on the committee, or else outsiders (people not on the faculty of Hamilton College) should be paid to review these proposals. In view of the quantities of money involved (each winner receives seven thousand dollars) and in view of bow this money can influence a career choice for the recipient, I do not feel that the present system treats this selection process as responsibly as it could. When he spoke to me last week, Mr. Richardson expressed surprise at my cnt1c1sm o f the �orkings of his committee. No one, he said, had expressed lhis type of feeling since he entered the committee twelve years ago. Why not?

By LIZ BARROW and SUSAN MALKIN The stereotypes of separate and K i r k l an d Hamilton philosophies of education were supported by the results of a Spectator survey sent out in Sept ember to d e t ermine Hamilton's and Kirkland's reputation among high schools, graduate schools, businesses and other colleges. The survey indicated that traditional higher education is an outstanding characteris·tic of· Hamilton's philosophy, while flexibility ranked hi�hest as Kirkland's .educational · strate gy. The survey, sent out to 140 institutions, drew 31 replies. Fifteen responses were from high school guidance counselors; the remammg responses were split approximately evenly between colleges, graduate schools and businesses. Responses indicated that the enphasis of Hamilton's academic orienta.tipn is strongl"y liberal arts.

Pre�law; pre-mea and graduate school preparatory programs (in that order) were seen as the emphasis for Hamilton students. Kirkland Seen Liberal arts and creative arts were viewed as Kirkland's educational orientation with a secondary emphasis on graduate school preparation. Respondents did not view pre-law and pre-med programs as areas of Kirkland's · emphasis. On the average, science and math were seen as Hamilton's strongest departments with history and social sciences viewed positively. The majority of respondents cited religion and art as Ham ilton's worst departments. Results of the survey showed the social sciences, history, and philosophy as Kirkland's strongest df partments. Critical bt.nguages, art and music ranked second while science was seen as Kirkland's weakest department. Six of nine who responded to a question con'-rning perceptions of

A professor of political science and Directot of the lnterational Developme�t Research Center at Indiana Univ�rsity,Siffin said that he had withdrawn for personal reasons when contacted Monday. "My decisio� does not reflect. on the college. I was very impressed with what I saw and by the requirements of the job," he said. Siffin was the' third of six candidates who have visited the campus so far as part of the committee's first round of interviews First Round Still Open A l t ho u g h the search has entered the second round, Dean Sear ch Committee Chairman Law rence K.

Yourtee said, however, that the manner of selecting the members of these panels was still under discussion. When asked of possible participation of Kirkland faculty, or administrators s t u d e nts Yourtee said, "We· have not so far considered that they would be included in a formal way." · The chairman said that the committe was also considering the p ossibili t y of holding a general open m eeting, but had not yet_ made a decision. CoQtmunity Input Y ourtee said there has not been a considerable amount of comment a d d r essed to the committee from Hamilton faculty at-large. Student input, which has been directed primarily to Roger Schneider and Bob Evans, the two students on the committee, has concerned most specifically the candidacy of Acting Dean of the C o l l e g e D w i g h t Lin dl e y, Schneider said. Schneider said that the nature of the comments was "mixed" but wo u l d n o t e l a b or a te, explaining that the "entirety of the (students) views haven't been conveyed to the committee.''

'Red Desert" Opens Possibilities, Advances Art of Film By PETER SOMMER "I'm scared of the factories, people, colors, everything." So says the heroine of "Red Desert,'' the first color film by Michelangelo Antonioni. Giuliana (Monica Vitti) is a woman who lives in the modern world but cannot adjust to it. Her malaise is rooted in a profound sense of disengagement from life as she sees it and feels it, as it is thrust upon her by her experiences. At an earlier time her angst had become so acute that she attempted suicide-an event which her husband still believes

events

was an automobile accident. Giuliana, her husband Ugo (Carol Chionetti) and their small son live in an Italian industrial city. Probably never before in a film has environment been cast in a role equal to that of the human actors. In "Red Desert'' Antonioni pioneers in cinematic use of color: the red band winding around a gigantic gasoline tank, the yellow smoke belching from a factory chimney, the rusty iron of an ancient ship in the harbor, the cooly efficient blues �nside the a t emple of te ch n i c a l h igh ly-s truct ured industrial

New Literary Magazine to Be Uncensored A new literary magazine which will accept every contribution has been established by Nellie Burlingham '75 and Bruce Donehower'75. The Publications Board has allocated $300 for the magazine. Citing the alleged lack of communication and literary dialog-tie which have characterized previous publica:tions, Burlingham said the new magazine will be an effort to "challenge the accepted standards of taste" at Hamilton and Kirkland. The pr in ting of all contributions will hopefully promote a literary exchange has been virtually. which Hill, the on nonexistent Burlingham said. It will also encourage "closet writers," or those "who do not even conceive of themselves as 'writers' to contribute to the magazine." Ideally, it will be published every two or three weeks, in order to encourage a continuing exchange of ideas-. The other literary magazines are usually published "just before a vacation and merely as a showcase,'' said Burlingham. The new magazine will appear "not in opposition to the current magazine,": said Donehower, but

to supplement it by adhering to a different literary philosophy. "Arbitrary standards of taste are useless at this level," he said. The two founders are publicizing their endeavor as. much as possible, but they have no concrete plans in the event that the project fails to stimulate the anticipated interest.

The founders said that. the magazine will continue publishing as long as the money lasts. If the writing outlasts the Publication Board allocation, then Burlingham and Donehower will consider alternative funding. Right now, since all the money is coming only from the college, the editors request that only members ·of the college community contribute.

Second DeC:Ode Report: 'B8yond lrinovaHOri-, Second: Coordination

.PR EFACE In its first decade, Kirkland College was guided to a large extent by the philosophical· and educational position expressed in the McIntosh report. The following report, which owes a great debt to the McIntosh report, is an attempt to establish guidelines for Kirkland's next or second decade. The Second Decade Report is broken into rive· sections, the major points of which are outlined below.

First: Goals of Kirkland College, 1975-1985 It is the opinion of the committee that Kirkland will continue to meet the contemporary and special needs of women by viewing itself as both a Liberal Arts College and a College for women. A liberal arts education should lead to a life of imagination, action, and discovery, and it should develop in the student a recognition of the need -fo r objective and emphathetic questioning as well· as a consciousness of the world outside self. A realistic and forward looking education for women should be flex.il>le, should prepare women to compete in a changing world, and should acquaint women- with· their nature as autonomous human beings. In order to attain these goals, Kirkland must use its resources, its physical situation r its size, its administration, and its faculty, imaginatively; use them to best advantage in a world in which competition for able students will be keen. Further, the college must be clear about its purposes and recognize the fact that choices will have to be made. It cannot meet all the expectations, curricular or extra-curricular of its immediate or wider constituency society. It must reamin self-revising but not careless in changing academic porgrams of process integrity. Finally, the college must remain sensitive to a wider context of higher education with which it shares a common commitment to the preservation of the process of inquiry and production of both scholarly and artistic works.

The committees investigated the possibility and , reasonableness· of alternative arrangements to that now enjoyed by the college and came to the conclusion that the c oordinate a rrangement with Hamilton is fundamentally sound. The coordinate relationship porvi<les for the efficient use of resources and facilities, and a curricular depth which enhances both colleges and extends the possibilities of variation in approaches. In order to continue the provision of alternative approaches each college must maintain its pedagogical distinctiveness and integrity in an atmosphere of mutual respect, a respect which may be fostered by structural changes designed to facilitate collegial contact, more efficient curricular planning, and mutual understanding.

Third: Beyond Innovation

Due to, the. excessive and imprecise use of the word innovation, the committee proposes that Kirkland set the term innovation aside in its second decade, not to sacrifice but to proclaim more openly and with less ambiguity its commitment to an open, experimental educational stance, concerned always with speaking as directly as possible to the intellectual, aesthetic and human needs of individual students. The college must not in its experimental stance whimsically change those methods and programs which have proven viable. More positively, it must seek students who_are willing to take the- risks involved in an experimental college as well as create an atmosphere for faculty members in which there is support for risk taking and a system for faculty development. Finally, the _method of college governance should be reviewed and improved in order tQ provide an atmosphere in which energies may be more efficiently and fully directed to make these changes possible

Fourth: Graduation Requirements It is the belief of the Committee that the college has relied too heavily on quantitative and too lightly on

Decade Committee Releases Goals

continued from page one recommendations for Kirkland's academic and curricular life for the next ten years. Broughton, a member of the Committee, emphasized that the contents of the report are general policy recommendations, not specific plans. W e were c h ar g e d w i th d e v e l o p i n g p olicy r e c o m m e n dat ions for t h e curriculum o f the second decade of Kirkland Coll�ge," he said. "We were to design what it would be

desirable that Kirkland be like.'; The c ommi t te e h a s no authority to impleIQ.ent any of its policy statements. Once the report is approved, other authorities within the college cummunity, such as the A ss e mb ly, or the Dean of Academic Affairs, or Presi<;lent Babbitt, will be charged with implementing the statements of policy which pertain to their functions. The interim report is. a revision of the working paper that was

distributed to members of the Kirkland community for criticism l a s t spr i n g. It reflects the C ommittee's response to the opinions and criticism that were. received about the· first document. The committee is now requesting responses to the interim report from the community. On the basis of these responses, the Committee will once again revise the document, and will present it to the Trustee Long Range Planning Committee late in November. According to Broughton, the Long Range Planning Committee will study the plan, and will make any changes it feels necessary, before submitting the document to the full Board of Trustees in t heir February meeting. The Board will then make any changes it feels are necessary, and, if all moves according to schedule, will adopt the Curricular Policy for the second decade at their May 1975 meeting. Br oughto n said that the Trustees were concerned that the contents of the interim report "not raise false expectations or false hopes." "The report is a statement of policies, not detailed blueprints," he said. Broughton said that the contents of the report may never be realized. He pointed to the number of possible points of revision between the interim r eport and the final policy statement, and added that, even if the statements were approved, they might, for economic or other related reasons, never be fulfilled. "Parts · of the report may be vie wed by the • Trustees as undesirable, or even if they are liked by the Trustees, they could be found wifeasible when the college went to implement them," 'he said.

qua l i t a t i ve m e a s u r e i n determining graduation re qui r ements. In light of this, the Committee recommends that advising be given a more prominent place in the academic struc�e of . the college, that a system of multiple advisors be investigated, and that a firmer set of college wide guidelines for pre-concentration and concentration be established. We reco�e that suc}l �anges may not be possible without calendar adjustment and the establishment of different priorities for the allocations of our resources.

Five: Curricular Offerings Many of the goals outlined above remain meaningless and lifeless if the curricular offerings of the College do not lead to the actualization of their intentions. The Committee believes that the college must evaluate its curriculum in terms of the extent of its contribution to the development of stu<tents' cognitive, aesthetic and ethical apprehensions, knowledge and skill, rather than in tenns of coverage of specific substantive content. At the same time, the college must not remain unresponsive and unaware of important new areas of human inquiry or shifting student interests in instituting new courses and programs. We anticipate that the course will remain the f u n d a mental unit of instruction. Moreover, the committee believes that the course as a form may be used in a more flexible and varied way. However, we suggest that a variety of educational contexts beyond the classroom must be developed more fully: These may include mini-courses, independent studies, field work work study, semesters abroad or at American institutions as well as student-led group study. Off campus options should be allowed to those whose previous experience gives evidence that they will clearly benefit from them. The special advantages of life on a college campus for intellectual growth and inquiry are also clear, and they should be emphasized. Finally, it should be recognized that everythip.g worth doing is not necessarily an appropriate part of a h'beral arts education for women.

Coach Von Schiller · talked to th e team after W e d n e s d a y ' s w in agai n s t Lemoyne, and _-they will be running to stay in shape as they all wait to hear about their post-season future,

eulogizes the seniors involvt j in that sport. Certainly the seniors of this year's water polo club deserve considerable credit in a review of the team's surprising success this season. When water polo was first introduced at Hamilton five years ago, none of the players knew how to properly tie the silly cap they were required to wear. The game was played by swimmers looking for a more enjoyable way to work into shape th.an enduring the tedium of swimming laps. Brad Johnson '75 deserves credit for the transformation of Hamilton's water polo team from a laughing, laughable bun< h of hackers to laughing, sophis,-1 :.ated bunch of discrete hackers. ! · \Vas Brad Johnson who introduc•..... the fundamentals of good water r.:•olo, both legal and illegal, to the Hamilton team. Johnson, however, is net the only member of the team whc has played his last game for Hamilton. F e l l o w d e f e n s e man John Needham and goalies Jeff Carlberg and Mike Lannon, all of whom were important components of Hamilton's sterling defense, have also hung up their caps. Finally, the poloists will also be losing the strong arm of Craig MacDonald. Bi� Mac was heavily relied upon in the offensive half of the tank The A.rmy victory represeri ts the apex of achievement in water polo for these five seniors in their careers and for the team this season. Next fall the Hamil ton water poloists will once again be playing with their yellow balls and silly caps in the Alumni Pool in pursuit of a similarly successful season.

Continentals Fall Behind Early, Lose to Middlebury, St. Lawrence

hr �-JAMES CARR JR. A V"i" young Hamilton College footba.h team continues to learn the ha1 J way. Agains t the M i d d lebury Panthers two weeks ago, the Continentals absorbed their 18th consecutive defeat 56-16, and last week _ the Buff and Blue gridders traveled to Canton, New York and came back on the short end of a 41-28 count against the Larries of St. Lawrence. I n a l l h onesty, the homecoming crowd in Clinton for the Middlebury contest didn't see much of a football game as the Panthers raced to a 21-0 first quarter lead, capitalizing on H ami l t o n m i s c u e s a n d inexp�·rience.

Fumble Hamilton fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Middlebury had its third touchdown two plays later as sophomore Ken Chase darted into pay dirt making it 21-0 at the quarter. The Continentals, h6wever, managed to get rid of the goose egg on the scoreboard as the celebrated toe of Bill Finan connected on a 33 yard field goal. Leary came right back to engineer a 69 yard scoring drive. The drive was culminated by Leary's one yard dash into the endzone, giving the Panthers a 28-3 halftime edge.

·iNxiy Asked Me But...

'Ali! Ali! Ali!' FE INGOLD AND SHOEN "His hands can't hit what his eyes won't see." - M. Ali Ask anyone who knows about boxing who the 4-1 shot was last Tuesday night. Someone forgot to tell Muhammad Ali. Nine years and eleven months after he won the title and five years after that title was taken away from him, he regained it. For five years he has proclaimed himself "The People's Champion". Saturday night, he was named, by the Zaire government, the African Champion . And on Tuesday night he became, once again, the World's Champiilll. Every heavyweight championship fight of the last three years has been billed as "The Fight of the Cei:itury'�. This one was billed similarly and it appeared that it could not, like a few of its predecessors, live up to its expectations. In one comer would be George Foreman, the man with the piercing look who had humiliated the two men who l}ad beaten Muhammad Ali. Ali, the legend. That was all that seemed to be left. 'That and his mouth. It's hard to go the distance in your last five fights and still be calle? "the greatest". It's hard, but if anyone could do it, it would have to be Muhammad Ali. Ali said that he would be the greatest. As beautiful and as graceful as ever. Ali said he would beat Foreman- that he would fight like he did against the other puncher, Liston. But you know it's hard to b'elieve anyone over thirty.

* * * * *

It wasn't the same Ali. He wasn't floating like a butterfly, but somehow he still managed to control the.fight. He would lean back on the ropes, cover his face with his g1oves, and take everything Foreman could deliver. When Ali got tired of one side of the ring, he would move to the other side, Foreman follow.ing. Then he would resume the pose. When Foreman's arms grew too heavy for him, Ali would stick him in the face five, six, or seven times, scoring with every punch. T�e butterfly was-gone, but the.sting was there in full force. It seemed as if Ali wanted a TKO--making Foreman another Henry Cooper or George Chuvalo--trying to open Foreman's cut. But that wasn't what he wanted. The crowd waited for the punch that h.ad helped Foreman win 24 consecutive fights by knockout. But by the second round, the crowd realized that a mere mortal could take Foreman's punches. The crowd knew it. Ali knew it. All of a sudd�n, George Foreman knew it. Between rounds, as Ali stood in his corner, waving the crowd on to chants of "Ali! Ali!", George Foreman sank back onto his stool. The stern face that entered the ring had taken on the signs of worry and disbelief. But it wasn't so much his face. It was his eyes. He was looking at the past. Maybe 1966--when Ali was the greatest. Was this the same Ali, Foreman must have thought. And by the time Foreman realized who he was pitted against, he once again became a contender. Ali wanted to KO Foreman. He wanted to erase the doubts about his greatness. He wanted to prove, once and for all, that he is the greatest. Maybe now Foreman will believe him. "You didn't believe me in 1964 when I said I was the greatest, you suckers,'' Ali told the closed-circuit audience. Maybe now they'll believe him.

* * * * *

Years from now, they might say that this was Ali's best fight. Maybe it w·as. Never before had a fight been fought with such perfect strategy. Never before were the men in one corner of the ring so certain of the outcome. Their certainty wasn't based on the strength of their boxer. It was based on his intelligence and skill. And Ali won it with strategy. Strategy and intelligence. And he won it with class. He could have hit Foreman one more time as he was pirouetting towards the floor. But he didn't. And he can kill boxing by retiring, but he won't; because Ali has class. A knocked out Foreman has saved Ali from his last bell. He'll be back to fight another round.

COMMITTEE ASKS FOR· LIMITS ON TENURE; STRONG FACULTY OPPOSITION· EXPECTED Hamilton Appointmenti Panel Proposes Departmental Guidelines

The Committee on Appointments of the -Hamilton Faculty made public this week its proposal _for tenuring policy at the_college. This is the first time in the college's history that a faculty committee has been charged with stating explicitly a policy on tenure. ._ The proposal calls for limit] on the number of tenured faculty by department while stipulating provisions for exceptions· to theguidelines. It has been distributed to the faculty, Acting Dean of the College Dwight N. Lindley, arid President Carovano, and will be discussed at an informal faculty meeting Nov.19: ' President Carovano said that -he requested the proposal from the faculty to "get some advice from the faculty on this 'rather difficult question." Asked how the proposal will affect actual policy, he said, "We don't have an ironclad- notion of what will follow after the 19th.h Carovano said he will not comment ·on the proposal until the faculty meeting. Just several days after its release, however, strong opposition to .the plan has already surfaced. The Hamilton chapter of the American Association of University Professors {AAUP) has drafted several resolutions which are critical of the proposal, and faculty have individually expressed disappointment about the report from the Committee. ' •

AAUP ReS<> · 1Utton The following statement was passed by the Hamilton Chapter of the American Association of University Professors at its meeting several weeks ago. Passed in October, it is not a response to the report of the Committee on Appointments released this week. The Hamilton College Chapter of AAUP, understanding that the tenure policy of the College is presently undergoing a review, wishes to remind the administration of the policy of the national A ssociation on the imposition of tenure quotas. The statement of the Association's Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure (AAUP Bulletin, December, 1973) says in part: Holding faculty members in nontenured service, and then releasing them because a numerical limit on tenured positions prohibits their retention, has the effect of nulligying probation. The Chapter concurs in the position of the national organization. There are many valid arguments against the imposition of quotas on faculty tenure, but one which may apply with particular force to the situation here at Hamilton College is the fact that continued on page ten

The AAUP represents 35 to 40 per cent of the Hamilton faculty, and the chapter earlier had expressed its opposition to tenure quota systems. The Committee The Committee-Professor of Geology Ddnald Potter, Professor of Music Stephen Banta, and Rouben Languages Romance of Professor CCholakian, said in the report that a tenure policy is needed at Hamilton in light of the number of faculty soon corning up for tenure. According to the report's seven-year projection, 23 faculty will come up for consideration while only 10 are expected to retire. · Sixty-one per cent of the faculty at Hamilton is presently tenured. If all 23 were to receive tenure, by1980, the percentage would be 78. ''Even assuming that all those coming up for tenure are worthy of it, the college must not grant tenure to all," the committee's report said. It said that such a policy will be necessary to ensure a better distribution by age in each department at the col)ege. · The report also argues that in order for the college to be able to recruit faculty in fields not already repres.ented on the faculty, and to recruit minority candidates, such guidelines as proposed will be necessary. The ideal number of tenured faculty is determine? in the report by t�<:_ total n�mber of members m a department. For mstance, m a fourr man department it i; recommended that two, at most three, be eligible for tenure. Special Cases Stating that there may be special cases, the report recommends that department chairmen solicit evaluative comments from numerous sources to support candidates whom they believe deserve tenure despite the fact that such a decision would violate the guidelines. "If the hope that only the excellent will receive tenure when there is an openi..rig, the hope is that only for the superior will an exception be made," the report states. In addition, provisions are made for an ad hoc review board to handle grievances faculty members up 'for tenure might .have. The proposal also recommends "taht members of, each department, tenured or non-tenured, shou�d be of different ages." The report says that a mixture would contribut(! to the health of a discipline. Although opinion on the Committee's report varies widely, the seriousness and complexity of any discussion of tenure is acknc;>wledged by all concerned.

The Committee RepOrt Hom ii ton Appeo Is Process Suggested. Age Distribution a Mo jor Factor. Preface The memorandum below describes a policy on tenure. The memorandum_ can become policy only if it is adopted by the chief executive of the College, and for the policy to work effectively, it must be acceptable to most members of the facu!ty. lf the policy is acceptable, the provisions for exceptions to the staffing plan (see below) arid for a procedure for reviewing decisions (see below), should be incorporated in the "Faculty Handbook." The memqrandum begins with a brief history, states the assumptions in favor of tenure, describes very briefly the current situation, and recommends solutions to the problems raised. History Until 1949 the members of the Hamilton College Faculty received contracts each year for the following year. No distinction as to the period of the contract was made either because of rank or length of service. Since 1949 Hamilton has adhered much of the te to the provisions of the AAUP, as· established by the 1940 "Statement of Principles." That is, the probationary period is for seven years: notice on non-renewal must be given at least one year in advance. For some years during the presidency of Robert Ward McEwen, the College did not count as part of the probationary period time spent teaching elsewhere. Currently, the College is in substantial agr�ement with the 1940 "Statement of Principles,", continued on ·page ten

Letters to the . Editor The Tenur'e Debate Two from �nglish 11

The question of tenure policy_ has been of increasing interest recently, at Hamilton and Kirkland and at colleges and universities across the country. The Hamilton Appointments Committee's report on staffing and tenure, in recommending future policy for the college, has spuked for the fir�t time a wide-open debate about the issue at the college. The discussion ranges from inspection of the notion of tenure itself, to how Hamilton will explicitly set tenure policy in light of the sometimes conflicting_ considerations of prudent fiscal management, continual improvement of the quality of· the institution, and the support of faculty morale and academic freedom. A complex issue and one that almost defies .solution, the question of tenure deserves clarification. Tenure, which offers a professor life-time job security; is most commonly justified on the grounds that it insures the acatlemic freedom of faculty. Without tenure, professors would have little protection from the possible persecution of a college administration because of their political views, life-styles, or opinions about their college itself. Although a professor with tenure may still be fired for gross incompetence, tenure is also support�d on the grounds that the job security it offers is just compensation for men whose extensive education is only equalled by such professionals as doctors and lawyers, who are usually rewarded greater �alaries than �re given to professors. The problems which colleges now face with regard to tenure is caused in part by a tightening job market. Unlike during the 1950's and 1960's, when faculty were able to move from college to college, tenured professors are not staying at their· present institution, and the untenured professors there are also hoping for tenure. Colleges, however, cannot afford. to pay everyone the salaries that tenured professors, as senior faculty members, command for long periods of time. A tenure policy must also avoid protecting from institutional discipline tenured faculty who are not performing well, but · who are not guilty of gross incompetence. It must also deal with the case in which a group of men in a department, all of whom are the same age, comes up for ronsi:leraticn at the same time. If all men were tenured, a department would suffer from uneven age distribution which would probably cause the department to later become stagnated or monolithic. Any attempt to solve the tenure crunch, however, seems doomed to frustration. Some say that colleges should merely increase the standards used in granting tenure. If only the outstanding men were given tenure, it is argued: a college could avoid over-tenuring their facult:Y and junior faculty could not object. that they were being denied tenure on any grounds other than merit. Stating. explicitly how high "higher standards" will be, however, and enforcing them evenly throughout a college is thought to be a difficult task at best. It has also been simplistically proposed that colleges institute across-the-board quotas, setting a percentage limit on the number of tenured faculty possible in a college. If a college were near its quota, . however, it would very unlikely that any qualified faculty would join that college's ranks. Quotas would also unjustifiably deny tenure to faculty on the basis of an arbitrary numerical standard. As an attempt at compromise, the Committee on Appointments has proposed the· institution of rotating positibns and departmental guidelines or quotas, which would, however, be subject to exception. The committee suggests that age distribution within a department be an important concern when following the plan's suggested guidelines. The committee also proposes the institution of a formal grievance procedure, which woulc_! be welcome at H8!flilton, which has had no formal appeal process. Departmental quotas, however, also impose an arbitrary criteria on a decision which should be based on the quality of the candidate for tenure. Although the committee makes provision for the "superior" faculty member, what is meant by ''superior" other than that which is better than "excellene' is not set forth. Departmental quotas, it seems, ,would also encourage unhealthy competition between non-tenured members of a department. Although one can :µot expect a perfect solution to the problem of setting tenure policy, it appears that the Committee on Appointments' proposal as it now stands is still not the satisfactory solution b�i�g sought. ·

The Wine and Cheese Center, which has been open sporadically, cannot open on a regular basis because of its inability to ebtain a state liquor license. In order to qualify for a license, a room must be set aside exclusively for the purpose of selling liquor. It must have two entrances and exits, and sufficient facilities for proper storage. There is no immediately available space on the Hamilton or Kirkland campuses, however, that with state comply would specifications, although the situation is being reviewed, said Dean of Student Affairs, Jane Poller. The Center is now under the direction of Anne Gorfein and run t hro u gh K ir kland the Entertainment Committee under Student Life. The Center has requested $75 to cover initial operationing costs. Profits are expected to go back into the Wine and Cheese Center. Due to the lack of a license, however, funds must be collected under the guise of mandatory donations. ''The only way we exist is if people pay," said Gorfein. Thirty-cent donations are asked for each glass of wine. The Wine and Cheese Center will continue to operate, tentatively, every two weeks. It is expected that it will next open Saturday, Nov. 16.

* * * Kirkland students wishing funds for · their Winter Study projects must apply before the cut-off date of Nov. 15, according to Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs Ruth Rinard. The Office of Academic Affairs reports that last year they were able to finance all requests receiyed before that date and this year a shift in allocation policy will result in money being available to even more individuals. Last year, the committee thought it better to put the upper limit of money to be awarded to a single applicant at a higher figure $150. This would it was thought make possible some more expensive projects feasible that.• probably could not be realized otherwise. Now, no one foresees any person receiving more that $50-60. Though the total amount of money available has remained constant, the new limit will make possible the financing of more projects. Rinard, hopes that .students will take advantage of this wider availability of funds, and make their requests before Nov. 15. In Fall 1973, because of overestimation of other Winter Study expenses, some money was left from funds not originally marked for financing of student projects1and it was possible to fill some requests that were made after the cut-off date. But no such windfall can be predicted for this year according to Rinard, and studen�s are urged to use a little foresight in estimating what, if any, their expenses will be. Requests are evaluated on the basis of need of the student, with those projects that are related to the Winter Study theme receiving priority. For projects involving travel abroad, or other large expenses, loans are available to both Kirkland and Hamilton students through the Financial· Aid office.

N ookie' s Deli

By ANNE SURCHIN ·Nookie's, in dowtown Utica, is a small delicatessen featuring cold cuts, salads and soups, sandwiches and hot dishes. True deli mavens of College Hill cast away all doubts--Nookie-� cuisine is Kosher. The sandwiches we devoured were excellent. The corned beef, as lean as one can possibly imagine, had that perfect smoky flavor, yt;t miraculously lacked the salty taste which usually accompanies it. The hot pastrami, tender and tasty, certainly equaled the corned beef. The rye bread was full of seeds and the mustard had that gritty consistency characteristic of a fine deli. The pickles, which appeared to be home made, were quite savory. The vegetable soup unfortunately lacked veget,hJes and was rather bland and weighty. A different soup is prepared every day and one can even have knaidlach (a sort of dumpling) along with the chicken soup on Friday. The meats are prepared fresh every day. There is a take-out counter for cold cuts and a variety of wursts, and beverages include coffee, tea and soda. Those who have a pre'dilection for the piquant might want to sample Dr. Brown's Cel Ray soda. There is no posted menu but prices seem to be in the moderate range. About $1.25 for a nice size sandwich; soups $.50; and beverages $.25. Take-out orders are slightly higher. The atmosphere is store front with take-out counter, wooden chairs and formica tables, linoleum floor and fluorescent lighting. The quality of the food atNookie's rates three stars. Epicures might well enjoy a taste of Flatbush in Utica. Nookie's (732-8523) is open Sunday-Thursday 8 :30-6:30 and 8:30-4:30 on Friday. Nookie's, ·226 Lixrty Street (next to the New York Bakery), is a few blocks off Genesee Street.

Hamilton Endowment Falls; Market Decline Responsible

Mirroring a general decline in the stock market, the Hamilton endowment now stands at $23.5 million, down from its high of $31.6 million in the first quarter of 1973. The endowment, which sank as low as $21.2 million in September, recently rebounded along with the market, which was recovering from a ten year low. Ralph Hansmann, and consultant i n vestment . the Trustee chairman of Committee on Budget and Finance, said that it is not unusual to have a sharp upward move after the market becomes extremely depressed. "One has to' expect that kind of rebound," he said. However, the endowment's market value has suffered an almost continuous decline since the first quarte� 1973. The greatest decline, a loss of $2.6 million, occured between the fourth quarter 1973 and the

2nd Decade

first quarter 1974. Endowment income, another e n d owment i n d i c a t or of performance, however, has risen slightly during the past year. Essential to the operation of the college, $238,952 of the 1973-74 endowment income went to $11073,906 · scholarships and helped cover the college's general operating expenses. The equities (stock) portion of the ·endowment is "by and large invested in companies of size with attractive current yield. They are valued at low multiples of their current earnings." Hansmann said. He explained that these stocks have long term promise for appreciation. Hansmann said that the world economy is going through a "difficult the period," and committee is taking these broad economic problems into account in investment decisions it makes.

"The economy is not going to sh6w the growth it has inr�he past. This may be a watershed so far as the economy and the standard of . living are concerned. We may not see the same patterns we have in the past," he said. Hansmann said that he did not know how Hamilton's endowment performance compared with other small colleges. He added, however, that representatives of Irving Trust co·., the daily manager of the college account, said that, compared to their other accounts, the college has done relatively well. Eugene Lewis, provost, said that the college must balance endowment grow:th with fixed income, equity with bonds. In the last three years, endowment income has averaged 20 per cent of the college's total income. Lewis said that the students here are bcing subsidized by this: income. Per student, the subsidy last year was ap proximately $1,368. This was an increase of $50 ,-1over the previous year ana, despite enrollment increases, it was There was a discussion of why an increase of $512 over. ten years the word "experimental" was ago. Lewis said,"I hope that we word the for substituted to increase be able "innovative" in the description of will endowment income by as much as Kirkland's educational policy. Colby explained that the word we increase tuition per student." "experimental" implied both the Hansmann, who echoed this hope, willingness to experiment with cautioned that this depends on new ideas and methods, and investment selection and dividend willingness to reject them if they increases from equity securities. did not work. She contrasted this The correct ratio between with the word "innovative" equity and bonds is "hard to which, she said, means always determine," however, Lewis said. and different.

Policy Document Not Concre,-e By MONICA LIFF

"Our charge gave us a problem marvelous cop-out," a and Assistant Professor of History of Science Nadine George said at a sparcely attended hearing on the Interim Report of the Committee of Curriculum for the Second Decade (CQSD) last night.

Hamilto n Pr ovost Eugene Lewis said. Hansmann, describing the endowment as "conservatively invested,'' said that currently, about half of it is invested in equity and half in fixed income sources.

Lewis. said that in late 1972, the high point of both the market and the endowment, the college held 60 per cent equity and 40 per cent bonds.

committee does a "fabulous job.'' Lewis the that added committee has followed policies that have protected tqe college "in the down market.'' While other colleges have been operating under a . "total return or gain concept in which you spend not only your dividends and interest but your expected appreciation," Hamilton has only budgeted expected return, Lewis said. In a down market, where the expected appreciation is not realized, colleges which use the total return concept must draw from their endowment principle to pay off their debts. This policy, which is feasible in an up market, can be disastrous in the face of economic crisis.

Chris Burden Acts Out Fantasies; 'I'm Not a Lunatic, I'm an Artist'

"Will he blow up the Art Center?'' "Will he masturbate in the chap<;l?" "This guy's not an artist, he's a first rate sickie!" "Gee, I hope he doesn't kill himself." Such has been the general reaction to the presence of California artist Chris Burden, who will appear at the Root Art Center at 8 p.m. Saturday night, as part of the "California Climate" exhibition. Burden's "performances" have included having himself shot in the arm by aJriend, staying in bed in a gallery for 21 days and not leaving it once, and crawling down a Los Angeles boulevard over fifty yards of shredded glass. Indeed, for those who are not aware of Burden's artistic philosophy, -and for many others who do not want to know, there is ample justification for the myths of violence which surround him. But Chris Burden is a soft-spoken, intense young man, with an easy smile and a sense of humor. He speaks freely of his art, its influence and motivation. Although defines Burden himself as an artist, he said he is not a "conceptual artist," calling the term a "misnomer." His art involves more of an "execution of an action" . than merely the development of ideas, he said, and the catch-all phrase "conceptual artist"is applied to him only for lack of a better way of describing his work. Whether or not Chris Burden is a "conceptual artist'� is a minor

issue; there has been a growing money will prove himself a fraud, debate among the local art experts and that considering the small as to whether or not he is an artist amount of money most artists at all. make, it is absurd to believe that What Chris Burden calls his art money could be their motivation. is personal "Sure, it's a consideration." an intensely expression.

Same Problems

'A Doll House' Worth Seeing; Play Flawed , But Compelling By NANCY OPPENHEIM Hamilton and Kirkland are presenting "A Doll House," by Henrik Ibsen, in Minor Theater. One hundred years after it was written, this play is still important. The college production should be seen. Ibsen opens the play by allowing the auqience to watch the daily actIV1ties of the occupants of the Helmer house. We follow them through processes - and growth, and eventually view the final - culmination of their actions. "A Doll House" has been called· a play for women's rights, portll"aying women as complete adult people rather than playthings. This is true of course, and hundreds of nineteenth century audiences were deeply offended by precisely this point. However, Ibsen's objective was not to .make a case for wo�en's liberation, but was rather an attempt to reveal the lack of artd absolute communication dishonesty in the interactions between people, the dishonesty of. society. This production is not without faults, yflt it is worthwhile and at times compelling. Margaret Klenck performs admirably in the difficult role of Nora. She must undergo a inetamorphasis of personality as well as relating separately to the various other characters who enter the house. Although she overacted slightly in the first act, she was much more at ease with her role for the final two acts of the play. Klenck makes Nora• s growth a visible process, and her ability to convince us of its possibility and reality, is immensely laudable in itself. Ray Dooley is less believable in his portrayal of Nora's husband Torvald. While Dooley did provid;: us with some glimpses of Torvald

Helmer's humanity and honest devotion to his wife, more often he was portrayed as an absolute tyrant, unrealistic and almost inhuman in his lack- of depth or understanding of those around him. Without such depth, Torvald appears merely melodramatic and somewhat uncomfortable. Rather than using natural movements, Dooley appeared to strike poses, or overplay Torvald's paternal and patronizing attitude . One of the most interesting, if uneven portrayals of the evening was David Cross's Krogstad, the man who blackmails Nora. Cross t s performance was probably the roughest of the evening, with sectjons of obvious "acting," yet he's managed to give Krogstad an honest characterization rarely achieved by any of the other actors, with the exception of Klenck. The two remaining characters of importance are Dr. Rank, a friend of the family, and Mrs. Linde, a childhood friend of Nora's. As Rank, George Walsh was a bit too low-keyed. Rank's wit and falshes of black homor and his deep love of Nora and Torvald are adequate but very muted. L a n g f ield's Jo a n n a performance as Mrs. Linde was also adequate, but un-exciting. Langfi(':ld tended to be a little obvious, but the qualitiesof this strong, sedate woman were expressed. In a minor role as a maid, Melissa Stem deserves a brief mention: her appearances were few, but were simple and convincing. · "A Doll House,'' directed by Carol Bell_ini-Sharp, was produced as a period piece, with all the action in the �ineteenth century. The set a,nd costumes were realistic, so presumably, the acting was supposed to be realistic. It is

here that some confusion arises. Each of the actors - and actresses gives a fairly accurate individual characterization, but when they come into contact with each other · the mood on stage changes. Elements of soap opera and melodrama descend. Actors were relating to other actors, instead of real people consistently relating to each other. Though the action of the play ostensibly views a few arbitrary days in the lives of the Helmers, these few days are carefully chosen. The dramatic action is the climax of eight years of marriage, and each new development is crucial. Ibsen has two hours to build an e�tire world, so necessarily there will be elements of drama above those which occur in ordinary life. Even with these uncertainties, p r oduction is t he well-constructed. Each character i::. developed sufficiently to provide tension and plot build-up, and interest is sustained. Ibsen's play has the aura of -real life, and that inevitably is what makes any production worth seeinJl.

Scene fr'om 'A Doll How;�'

Chris Burden: Is he really an artist?

The SAC has in recent years b e en under a considerable pressure to provide entertainment that is responsive to an extremely div�rsified student population. Tomorrow's Elvin Bishop/Deadly Nightshade concert almost surely will spur yet another attack of criticism and controversy. Many students have already complained about the relative anonymity of the two groups. Disappointed at the scarcity of fancy commercial groups and impressive sounding name's, they , wonder whatever happe�ed to last year_'s questionnaires and the Beach Boys "Whoever was responsible for that questionnaire deserves to be shot," says Reiners. ''We couldn't possibly afford the Beach Boys, and even if we could, there isn't a chance they would come." Farcical Questionnaires "Questionnaires are a total farce,'' agrees Minter. It is impossible, he said, to obtain any kind of significant majority opinion through the use of student polls. Even if a questionnaire did indicate an overwhelming demand for one parti�ular performer or group, the limitations on dates and financial resources in addition to the lack of a suitable auditorium, would make it very di.fficult to insure that such a demand could be met. "It is important for students to �ealize that SAC receives its funds directly from social tax payers," says Minter. ''Because this is a voluntary charge, our budget depends entirely on how many people contribute. Approximately 1000 students paid the tax this year, whick provides SAC with a · $35,000 budget." $35,000 may sound impressive but really can only cover a very limited amoimt of entertainment. This is one reason that SAC sponsors primarily small�scale

concerts. It would be foolish, members agree, to set aside the whole budget for one big show. After Saturday's concert has been funded, nearly half of SAC's resources will have already been a l l o cated. $3,000 has been reserved for the B.P.R.U. cultural weekend, $3, 000 for the coffee-house, and $2,500 for the folk festi"val. · Complaints A large proportion of the complaints which concern student entertainment seems to stem from the fact that there is such a sharp distinction between the social tax payers, who feel they are not getting their money's worth, and non-payers, who feel that they are not getting anything geared towards them at all. T his p r oblem is further complicated by the fraternities; and Hamilton and Kirkland have different ways of dealing with student social life; thus, the E n t e r t a i n m en t Kirkland Committee (KEC) i s able t o help in that area, according to its chairman, Anne Gorfein '71. People have tended to confuse the functions of this group with those of SAC, partially because until very recently KEC wa, referred to as SEC, the Studen: Entertainment Committee. Kirkland Input Although the members of KEC are also members of SAC, they work with Kirkland affairs as a c o m p letey autonomous unit. "When KEC brings its particruar proposals to SAC," said Min1er, "they are treated in the sane manner as those from-a fratemty, the Women's Center, or a charitable organization." Recent efforts have been nade to provide entertainment that involves_ a more varied canpus representation. For example last spring a decision was made tc stop planning large concerts aound houseparty weekends. "If concerts are alway: held during houseparties," says Ninter, "S AC sy mbolically brcomes Hamilton oriented. It is unair for the committee to be houncby the social commitment of onefaction or _anotl].er." The factionalization cruld also be overcome if more pe9le paid social tax or if there were some type of fee that everyoie would pay according to Gorfein Everybody Whinis Meanwhile, SAC con:inues its work.

Financial Aid Revised More of the -nation's students will be eligible for financial aid in the 1975-7 6 academic year. In response to the rising rcost of living, the College Scholarship Service (CSS), which determines student financial need, has lowered the amount of money a student's parents are expected to contribute to his education. Director of Financial Aid Kenneth Kogut said that, given the same number of students, Hamilton must raise an extra $250,000 and Kirkland must raise $180,000 to bridge the gap between the amount of money presently allocated and the gross financial need as established by the new CSS standards, "I am hopeful that we will be able to meet this need," said Kogut, but added that he will not be able to appraise the Hamilton­ Kirkland financial aid situation until mid-spring. � Kogut said that for 1975-76, Kirkland will request $280,336 and Hamilton will request $503,557 in federal grants, loans and student employment funds. However, he does not expect that the federal government will meet these requests. · Forty-five Per·Cent Last year, every college in New York State received only 45 per cent of the federal aid which the college requested and a state panel approved. Kirkland's; request was approved 100 per cent, by the state college the p anel, and appropriated 45 per cent of this request. However, due to its high delinquency rate on federal loans, only 91 per cent of Hamilton's request was approved and Hamilton received 41 per cent of · the federal aid it needed. In the 1973 tally, ll5 of 334 Hamilton students who received

A student of Richard Brewer, Martha Lipton and Uren Brown, Wakefield-Wright recently moved to Clinton after six years on the music faculty of Manchester College in Indiana. She holds a bachelor's degree from Pfeiffer College and the Master of music from Indiana University. She was a Tanglewood fromm Fellow in 1966 and 1968 and studied at the Aspen School of Music in the summer of 1973. The operas in which she has performed include '�ido and Aeneas" · "Sister Angelica," "Carmen," "Albert Herring," and "Elegy for Young Lovers." In the latter two, the performance was· filmed for public television. Her many stage appearances have also included concerts witb the Indianapolis Symphony, the Fort Wayne Philharmonic and the Berkshire Festival Orchestra, as well as an appearance in the Tangelwood Chamber Series.

the National Direct Student Loan (NDSL) and 13 of 31 Kirkland ;tudents who received the NDSL were delinquent in paying their debts.

Kogut said that the new state Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) will help increase financial aid for incoming freshmen. Also, the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG), previously only for sophomores and juniors, will now be available for freshmen, sophomores and juniors. Kogut emphasized that the amount of money the college can provide is largely dependent on the cooperation of the students.

FEINGOLD AND SHOEN "Yes. The I+esident has phoned me a play." G. Allen Jan, 1973 Indoor sports have been in the spotlight for a month now, and on _ arty given day a person scanning the sports pages of The Times can find the results from the NHL, WHA, NBA, ABA, NFL, WFL, and British Football. Where will it all end? One thing is certain: Once· the American sports fan's IQ is raised to the level of moron, organized sports might reach decent and acceptable levels. But it isn't only the fault of the fans and promoters. If the press secretary to the President of the United States of America, when asked about what the President's reaction was to the election results, caQ..s�y that it.,wasn't as bad as Michigan losing to Ohio·State - then ' we're in for it. Richard Nixon was fond of using sports terms in his high-level vocabulary whenever possible. Rem�mber the November, 1969 March on Wash ington, when the President wouldn't come out to meet the demonstrators? He had a much better time in his white house, drinking beer, watching football, and figuring out how to bug Democratic headquarters.

Politics and sports can't mix. Look at the Olympics. This is the greatest example of the political exploitation of the athlete. It's hard to compete in an event when you're carry ing a flag (George Foreman excluded). The athletes and their coaches realize that they are running for their countries, not for themselves, every fourth summer and winter. The horribly high degree of nationalism that is born from these realizations makes the ' Olympic Village look like a temporary meeting place for the U.N. General Assembly. And any guerilla worh his salt can take a rifle and pick off most of his enemy country's best athletes. But the competition between countries isn't limited to every fourth- year. Nations are constantly fighting with each other over which one should host the Olympics, five and even ten years from now. Moscow recently spent an obscene amount of money on.their display for their bid to the Olympics. (And what about the money they use to pay their amateurs?). The Olympics isn't a display of athlete's abilities anymore, it isn't a showcase of pure competition between men and women - it has turned into one of the worst examples of competition between the big powers of the world. But this competition isn't really limited to the big powe-rs. When a German diver is diving in Germany, an English competitor would have to do a triple reverse with a fancy nip and tuck to score as much as the German does with a German judge there.

In this age of inflated depressio�, governments should have more on their minds than raising money for and becoming involved in sports. If India wants to protest South Africa's policy of apartheid, they don't have .to do it by letting them win the Davis Cup. Sports is a world that should satisfy the children in all of us. But when it becomes a tool of policy, it loses its purpose. N9 athlete wants to govern a country, so no politician should play games.

"There's no way you can alter the rules without destroying the essence of the game," Aubry stated. "A lot of guys would be disappointed if the rules were changed. Most of them don't feel intimidated out there. They don't want the game to degenerate into a backyard touch football game."' Two Leagues Proposed One possible solution set forth by MacDonald is the creation of two leagues-one composed of experienced players and the other of novices. This would go a long way toward eliminating the inequality of ability, But the intense competition between the .fraternities would continue. MacDonald admits that the injuries would likely be fewer, but more severe. The intramural hockey season begins next week, and this controversy will be forgotten. But it will flare up again come next fall. "It's a universal problem," MacDonald conceeded. ''When we had a wa.ter polo match with Colgate, one of their stars was sidelined with an intramural football injury. I wouldn't let one of my swimmers near a football.''

Does this mean that Hamilton is going to blossom overnight into a Lambert Trophy contender? No! What it does mean is that Hamilton College should be able to field a representative football team in the seasons to come.

Lack of Ice Problem in Sage Rink By BARRY KREISWIRTH With the opening of the hockey season last Monday, N o vem be r 4, , Coach Greg Batt and his anxious iceman found themse1 ves on dry ground. The lack. of ice in the Sage Rink can be attributed to the wonders of modern science and the Mueller inco m p e t an ce of Company. The problem began with the installation of the new automatic, freon cooled ice compressors, which are replacing an outdated and dangerous ammonia cooled, The semi-automatic system.

trouble in the new unit according to the Hamilton College physical plant staff - lies in the shipping dealy of two strainer valves in the brine ·compartement. The companies incompetancy caused an emergency trip to North Carolina to pick-up the valves and therefore, the ice making was seriously delayed.. The valves are now in, however, the problem is not over yet, now the pressure ·in the freon system shuts off too early. The trouble is .now in the hands of the Rheem Company representative _who is in search of the problem, and .unfortunately the ice cannot

go down until he gives the word. If all the bugs are cleared-up by the time of printing, the Continentals could be on the Sage Rink ice by Wednesday. The lack of ice obviously poses a problem for Coach Batt and the Hamilton hockey team; however, the Continentals have not been totally stymied due to the gratuitous efforts of alumnus, Mr. Earl Stanley, and Mr. Grapplinger of the Clinton Arena. Through their work, the Continentals have been able to squeeze in some valuable ice time, allowing Coach Batt a good glimpse of his '74-'75 contingent.

Kirkland will consider eight .candidates for tenure this year, seven of who.µi are men, The Spectp.tor has learned. How the college deals with the group, which is distinguished both by its size and sexual composition, may presage the character of future t.enure decisions at the college. Kirkland's female faculty has reached 33 per cent and the administration has repeatedly expressed its desire to continue to attract women here. Tenuring a large number of men, such as that which will come up this year, could· puf a damper on the college's recruiting for many years. The . men, in light of the present job market, would be expected to remain in their tenured positions here for long · periods of time. Despite Kirkland's aims towards- fair sexual representation-• on the faculty, any indication of -sexual discrimination in tenure decisions would obviously cause harmful repurcussions. The college's predicament regarding the sexual composition of the tenure candidates is a· delicate one indeed. The eight faculty members are also the largest single grm�p to come up for tenure at one time at Kirkland. They can not all be tenured if the college is to retain flexibility in its faculty and if it is to be fiscally prudent. The college must appeal to a fair and clear set of criteria.for tenure, however, if a significant number of tenure denials is to be accept.ed by the faculty. But after the Phyllis Morris (�istant professor of philosophy) tenure controversy last spring, it became apparent that many Kirkland faculty members do not believe that th� standards used in tenure decision are clear. Unlike Hamilton, which has been tied to tenure standards which it may now find · too lenient, Kirkland has. the opportunity to set stringen_t standards for faculty excellence. If clear but demanding criteria are adopted, the college would fulfill its obligation to the faculty, which deserves to know as muc.h as possible its chances for tenure, while it would also fulfill its obligation to maintain the integrity of the institution. It is incumbent upon the Kirkland Appointments Committee to resolve its questions about tenure criteria before the spring, when the eight candidates will be considered.

Book Bargains

By today, Hamilton and Kirkland professo·rs should have submitted their lists of course books to the college store. Although the bookstore staff is expect.ed to act on ..the orders immediately, students have had no indication that they will see the lists until one or two days before the start of spring semester. Then, they · will crowd into the store and pay up to $100 for brand-new textbooks and paperbacks, many of which can be bought for less money elsewhere, or at least without the long waits. Students living in cities or near large universities, however, can buy many of their textbooks at stores which, unlike the college store, offer discounts and sell used books. These, despite slight wear, can save a student a considerable amount of money if bought instead of increasingly expensive new books. If college store manager David Cannamela or the department and division chairmen posted the book lists now, they would enable these students to cut · the cost of their course books while reducing the pre-semester bookstore lines.

Homo Ludens

By VINCENT DiCARLO People are starting to tell jokes again. Only last year one· could go for months at a time without hearing so much as the suggestion pf one. In fact, in the five years starting with 1968 the joke seemed about as dead as old Marley. During those years both amatuers and professionals tried to make us laugh, all right. They just turned to a topical of personal kind of humor having almost nothing in common with real jokes of the sort that provided laughs for the Bob Hope generation. For those who have difficulty distinguishing the real jokes from other sorts of humor: if it starts with "Did you hear the one about ...", it's the genuine article. This rebirth of the joke has greater significance than its immediate impact on lunch table conversation. Jokes, and the proper telling and appreciation thereof are highly conventional forms of behavior. They require for their content a complex of predictable responses. When all sorts of social behavior become unpredictable jokes are impossible. Likewise, the impossiblility of jokes.is a clue that the conventions have broken down and their resurgence is indicative of return of ritualistic social behavior. An example of such ritual will illustrate this point. Perhaps the most ardently pursued of all human activities is the mating game. In the_good old days, the conventions surrounding this activity allowed it to be classified into categories. The

The IFC escort service and the public awareness program can only help to mi�imize the likelihood of another ugly incident. But I do believe that some of the rape defense tactics that have appeared •in cartoon form on bulletin boards' and in The Spectator are foolhardy efforts to deal with· what may be a life or death situation.

"normal" progression involved "dating," "going steady," "engagement,". a.'ld marriage. Each stage was characterixed by certain levels of intimacy and each party had realistic expectations of the other based on the conventions or rules governing the categories. Further, it was possible to tell whether a particular person was interested in the respectable progression, just how JDUch involvement was being contemplated, and what sort of involvement it was. As social conventions broke down jokes lost their humor and actions lost their meanings so that a single woman being pursued could no longer teU whether her pursuer wanted a friend, a night (or more) in bed, or a wife until things had reached the point where disillusionment became potentially painful for both parties. This is obviously an inefficient way to enter into relationships. The frustration of not knowing what to expect of anyone in a given situation has undoubtedly taken its toll on many. Things are getting better, though. The joke is back and with it are coming a host of other rituals that allow people. to make reasonable judgements ab?ut the future behaviour of others.

Frosh Senate Plitforms

the notes

The Stud'ent Senate represents the most effective way in which the student body can make its feelings known; but unless students take an active ro le in the decision making process, the Senate cannot and will not function properly. That most students are neither involved in nor interested in the workings of the Senate has been demonstrated repeatedly in the past; · but the blame rests most heavily upon the Senators themselves. It is their responsibility to seek out student opm1on. Unfortunately, not all Senators are interested enough or willing enough to make this effort .. School policy must reflect the feelings of the student population, but regrettably it has not always done so. If elected, I will put strong emphasis on seeking out student feelings. Perhaps this may best be carried out by holding weekly o! monthly meetings between students and Senators, or perhaps this means gqing from door to door. But students must be made aware of the proposals and issues which affect student life. Althot1gh it is easier to vote solely on one's own opinion, I don't believe th11t this is, the purpose of the Senate. The Senate must represent 900 students·, not 16. I hope to be able to accomplish this. Guy Arcidiacono

BRIDGE TOURNAMENT

The decline in population growth and obvious economic pressures are shrinking the number of high-quality candidates applying to colleges of high caliber like Hamilton. academic Hamilton's comparatively limited reputation and New York's fine public system of higher education hampers the search for qualified applicants. Financially burdened students who might otherwise apply to Hamilton opt for the less costly state system. The Student Senate could help check this applicants problem before this matter becomes critical. The Senate's Admissions Committee has the potential to be a primary force in attracting future admits, working closely with the admissions office in order to determine Hamilton's· finer and lesser points in the eyes of interested candidates. The Committee can also act to devise ways of establishing more direct, personal contact with potential and actual applicants.. The solution to I this ����1�ti'I>T3'?:7:ti"P¾�lrl&JJlll�MIE�D���,., problem demands plenty of work, but the task offers satisfaction. At a time when the effectiveness of government at all levels is suspect, student can help safeguard government Hamilton's reputation and insure the future. Christopher Cahill

There will be a bridge tournament held Nov. 20, at 7:00 p.m. in the second floor lounge of the Bristol Campus Center.

It is difficult for first semester freshmen to identify Hill issues. Certainly Winter Study internships should be continued, and consideration should be given to the inclusion of such vocational crafts as auto mechanics which was offered for credit last year. I would also like to see the Chapel bell adjusted to strike the correct time every now and then. Marc Derewetzky I intend to concentrate less on schmaltzy rhetoric and more on logical action in dealing with Senate matters. I favor i,nternships as legitimate projects for the proposed "winter-semester," am in principle against distribution requirements, and, if elected, will call for continuing bilateral detente with Russia. Robert J. Dolan Gentlemen: We ·can not forget tradition, yet �e must move forward. We are a new class at Hamilton, and already we are aware (to some degree) of its strengths and its failing,. We know of Hamilton's tradition of excellence in academics, and we know of the problems facing Winter Study. We know of the accomodations at Bundy, and we know of the uncomforts of Dunham. The S e n at e must walk a fine line between the old and the new, and weigh alternatives and public opinion before making decisions on matters such as Winter Study or resolutions to go to a higher authority.

Then I asked him if his new recording company, Capricorn, allowed him more freedom of expression. His answer to this question was equally verbose; he said, "Yes." Bishop did become a little more talkative when asked which country artists he preferred. As evidenced in his set, he thinks highly of Hank Williams. He also likes Jimmy Rodgers, considering him an important musical force. I asked Bishop what he thought of Bob Wils, called the father of Texas Swing by folk officiandos. Shaking his head vehemently, he said, "Not at all, not at all." He characterized Wills' music as the "surfing music of country," saying that he just couldn't take Wills seriously.

GUiick fo·r Dean l

The Hamilton Dean Search Committee will not interview a candidate this weekend. Having already entertained second round visits from Dartmouth Professor of Psychology W. Lawrence Gulick and Acting Dean of the College Dwight N. Lindley, the committee, which suddenly has refused any comment about the future of the search, appears to have reached the stage of final deliberations before passing its · recommendation on to President Carovano. · · · However, the committee may now be considering inviting more candidates to the Hill in search of a suitable man for dean. If such is the -S!ase, the committee should not look further; they have found an excellent man for dean already. Based upon the opinions he has expressed in an interview and a meeting with the student panel and based upon the general impression he has made, Professor Gulick appears to be most able to serve Hamilton as its next dean of the college. He is the candidate the committee and President Carovano should select. Gulick expressed a commitment to increasing the intellectual vitality of the college which is required of the dean.He said that he favored the institution of a seniors honors program. Gulick also believes that students should be ensured the opportunity to work in ·seminars before the end of their freshman eyar. Disapproving of the Appointments Committee tenure policy paper (which has been returned to the committ�e ), Gulick said that faculty flexibility c� not be achieved by departmental guidelines.. The candidate suggested reasonably that permanently designated rotating . positions would not attract the qualified faculty Hamilton � desires. Gulick supported the invitation of distinguished professors as a means . of enlivening the faculty and the educational offerings here. Clearly the favorite of the student panel whi�h participated in the second round, Gulick was soft-spoken in his meeting and indicated an ability to deal well with students. ·Having commanded the respect of the faculty at ·Dartmouth, serving as chairman there of the college's steering committee, it is expected that Gulick would be so accepted by the faculty here. As dean of the college, which he himself recognized to be a position which included responsibilities to the whole college-faculty, students, and a dministrators-W. Lawrence Gulick would provide Hamilton with new and valuable ideas and the leadership expected of the college's chief acadei:nic officer. -

Book L_ists, Please

Chairman of the Hamilton Philosophy Department Russell T. Blackwood has voluntarily submitted the lists of required books for spring offerings in his department. With plans to publish in the Dec. 6 issue as many lists as are received, The Spectator requests tha� all other department and division chairmen submit book lists by Wednesday, Dec. 4, so that students may obtain their course texts as cheaply and easily as possible. Because of the Thanksgiving vacation next week, The Spectator will not publish on Friday, Nov. 29. The next issue will be published Dec. 6, and that will be the last issue of the fall semester,

On a Hard Roll

By POOKIE ADAMS One of the most sacred and time honored of the traditions at Hamil.ton College is the roll. A roll, for those of _you who don't know, consISts of a truck,, a keg of b-eer, and as many eager young men as can fti into the truck without asphyxiating themselves. The object of the roll, however, is not merely to get drunk, although that om be an important factor-it may be all one gets on the trip. At any :rate� one has to find some way to keep warm in an unheated truck. Once the group artjves (popular destinations include Skidmore, Cazenovia, and Wells), it is expected that it will be possible to find other ways to keep warm. Usually there are parties, dances, OT mixers., and those who luck out need search no more. The less fortunate of their brethren become increasingly preoccupied with the problem of finding a place to spend the night. If worst comes to wors.e (and it often does), the outcast can resort to walking tmongh the dorms and knocking on· doors. Seldom is a Hamilton student forced to sleep in the ditch_ Of course, there have been cases reported of groups which have rolled out and back in the same night. This is most likely to happen if the majority of the rollers do not achieve their objective:,. but it .:� also occur if only the driver is unsuccessful� Little is ever said about.the ride home_ Tired and partied-out, the rollers crowd into the back of a windowless U-Haul. If they are lucky. they may be able to drain the keg of a few b:·�ws and so make the trip fess painful,.. If not, they can always swap stories and sleep. Have a nice weekend, fellows.

$urchin for Food

Nash's By ANNE SURCHIN

Nash's, in Utica, is an Italian restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. The outside is unimpressive with its neon sign but in_side the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Red table clothes, paneled walls, piped-in music, and wine bottles hanging everywhere provide the setting for an excellent meal. The sausage and mushrooms in sauce ($2. 75) was extremely good. The saus age, while hot and zippy, was n_ot overpowering. The mushrooms practically melted in the mouth and the tomato sauce, seasoned to perfection, had a very light consistency. The veal marsala ($5) was simply superb. Tender veal, a buttery Marsala .sauce rich in flavor, and exquisite mushrooms composed a -dish that 'must not be missed. The portions were extremely generous and along with the entrees came salad and bread. The salad, which looked more like a mountain of lettuce, could feed Goliath. Garlic fiends will revet in a biting Italian dressing. The bread, served hot and very fresh, was crisp but not crunchy. Desserts include spumoni, tortoni, and zab ag lione. The spumoni was very tasty and the zabaglione a real. treat. Zabaglione is made usually in a: double boiler with sugar, egg yolks,. marsala wine and sometimes bits of lemon peel. After being whipped into a light custard it is traditionally served warm in a glass, with a sponge finger biscuit alongside. The cappucino, strorig white coffee, made with Cointreau, expresso, chocolate syrup and topped with whipped cream,. was truly distinctive. A craving for a delicious cup of regular coffee can also be satisfied in Nash's. The. menu, which is quite extensive, features Itali�n specialties such as Braciola a la Napolitana, E�carola, and Bean a la Minestra, Calamari, sausage and meatball dishes, and fried peppers ranging in Rrice from $1.50 to $4. The house specialties, which include chicken Sparagna, Piccante, Veal Marsala, Piccante and Piemontese, vary from $4-5.50. ( The Veal Piedmontese, cutlets in a chicken stock base with garlic and morsels of prosciutto, is reputed to be the only dish of its kind in the Utica area.) Excellent service and cuisine, nice atmosphere and reasonable prices rate five stars. The slogan atop Nash�s menu reads "Our Chef is Our Press Agent." To reach Nash's at 895 Bleecker Street (824-0032) take the arterial to the downtown Utica exit, go beyond Genesee Street two or three blocks following the sign "to Jay Street." Bear right for one block then left onto Bleeker and continue for about ten blocks. The restaurants in this column are rated five stars to none. Service, price, cuisine and atmosphere determine the rating the restaurant will receive. One star .signifies edible, two stars mediocre,, three good, four very good, and five, excellent. I

Free School Leaders Attend Conference

Melinda Foley and Greg .Marsello, directors of the Hill's Free School recently attended a n a t i oha l conference of free s c h o o l s a n d uni versities in B o u l d e r • C o 1 o r a d o. Th e conference was composed of large g r o u p s e s si o n s and smaller workshops which catered to the needs of the individual free schools and universities. The t wo Hamilton-Kirkland d e l e g a t e s w e r e p ar ti c ularly intersted in learning more about how to attract more and better q u a l i fied teachers, ideas for courses, ways in which to procure funding, catalogue design and production, and better ways• to involve the community. Foley and Marsello will develop their ideas during a Winter Study project. Specific goals of their winter project include: expanding the n umber o f c o u rses offered t h ereby e xpanding the e n r o l l m e n t , i n vo l ving more Clinton residents in both teaching and participating, publishing a c a t a l o g ue a n d d e ve l opi ng community projects. This semester the Free School offered eight courses ranging from candle making to outdoor living. Foley said the Free School grew out of a need for more diverse course offerings on the Hill. She said that both she and Marsello feel that the Free School is a perfect means by which Kirkland an d Ham i l t on students can become more involved in the community as a whole and that t};iis community interaction may be a way in which students can begin to overcome feelings of isolation.

Nixies

By DON MUILENBERG

Suppose for a moment that an unbelievably naive, but well-meaning, college student were asked to further characterize a person who had been described as being a bit gay, some�hat queer, fairy-like, and homosexual. He deletes the word "homosexual" (since that's not nice), then consults his Webster's, and comes up with the following. "A gay, queer, fairy-like person is (selectively) merry, happily excited, keenly alive and exuberant, unconventional, mildly insane (mildly insane? ), and some kind of mythical being." Wishing to contribute more to the characterization than mrght be required (this is not your everyday, run-0f-the-mill student), the person then adds: "a synonym for such a person might be 'nixie', and one would expect to find him (or her), whomever, in the glen (Root or Kirkland), whichever." Now this is obviously not an especially apt description of your neighborhood hotnosexual, but then the point I would make is that neither is the sterotype of the homosexual, male or female, which many people still have today. Therefore, with a homosexual orientation in our society, and perhaps alleviating some anxiety or unhappiness, let me mention a few facts and share some thoughts about homosexuality. As a starter, male homosexuals do not all walk funny. Neither do they suffer from a wrist disorder. They do not molest children, and they themselves are not necessarily children of passive fathers and domineering mothers. Furthermore, they tend to have two of what all other normal males have two of, and they participate rather freely in athletics, as well as in the theater. Female homosexuals (lesbians, if you prefer) are not "hell's Angels" with less body hair. The tough, masculine image just doesn't hold up. They don't molest children either, and most likely have not been abused (knocked around) by cruel, heartless fathers or other assorted males. Female homosexuals, as well as males, have all their parts, and are also found in a variety of activities, occupations, and professions. Perhaps some of the things I have learned about people in general and those with homosexual feelings in particular might be helpful at this point. First, it is extremely important (and most appropriate) to realize that we are all persons first and that as part of being persons (and only part) we prefer others of the same or opposite (or both) sex as sexual partners. Most of us prefer heterosexual relationships, but surely this should not preclude recognition and acceptance of those who do not. In this regard it is well to remember that a great many people, when given an opportunity to be both honest and unafraid of censure or public disclosure, indicate that they have both heterosexual and homosexual feelings. It should also be helpful to realize that some people are apparently predisposed to homosexuality by nature, whereas others appear to develop homosexual preferences as the result of their experiences. And finally, I think it should be said that one's sexual preference, in many respects, has relatively little to do with the kind of person he or she is. I have counseled and known well many beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent human beings,many of whomwere heterosexual, and some of whom were homosexual. It might be appropriate to conclude this brief, but hopefully , useful, article by referring again to our naive but well-meaning student friend. Perhaps if more people were to take his·attitude, we would have a happier and more humane situation. People are very special beings, and I would much prefer that we see others as merry, keenly alive, and exuberant (perhaps even a little crazy), than as somehow or somewhat less than human because of their sexual preferences. "Grimm's Fairy Tales" ar.e nice-grim ones are not.

By PETER SOMMER The manage r of a Parisian movie house showing El Angel exterminador, out of conside ration for the public, aske d _ for some kind of introductory statem ent. Luis B u n ue l supplied the following: "Perhaps the best explanation of 1£1 Angel e x, t e r m i n a d o r is t hat , reasonably, it , does not have one." By yielding to an impulse to e xplai n B unue l's film b y re ason able standards, we will only distort it. It is far better to heed the curious warning issued at the ve rybeginning of the movie. When the irrational rules and directly attacks our intelligence , we are strongly tempted to seek som e symbolic in tent which would enable the re asoning mind t o a s s i m i lat e a n d di g e s t comfortably. 'H ow e v e r, t he ' inten tion from which El Angel de rived was to exterminador impede digestion, not assist it. The scene of the dinner guests arrival at the home of a wealthy host is repe ated twice, treating the audience to the spectacle of s upposedly n ormal p e opl e behaving abnormally, but without seeming to notice. As the gue sts arrive at the house , located on a street calle d P r ovi dence, the servants are m y s te r i o usly l e a ving. The ir r e asons will remain en tirely h i dden from us; only their urgency to get away is cle ar.

Before long we discover that those re maining are unable to leave the drawing room, or even excape from the buildingr Roman Catholics, Freemasons, and even adepts of black magic are all equally powe rle ss to bre ak the s pe ll which confines them, without reason, within the four walls of one room. The ir release comes neither thr o u g h f ait h n or through f r e e -t hinking rationalism, but through an appare ntly nonsensical act of e xorcism. One of the prisoners (Sylvia Pinal) sacrifices her virginity whil e all liste n to a Paridisi sonata, and sub�equently realize d that only the re enactment of this_ scene will lift the spe ll.

Is this an allusion to the Paschal lamb? Or a refe rence to the Christ as Agnus Dei? Then what are we to make of the final ,scene in which everyone is imprisoned in church, while only a flock of sheep are at liberty to wand er the streets? Any theories we may have nurtured about the symbolism of sheep in /<,'/ Angel exterminador

will collapse , as will any other impulse to, explain Bunuel's film i n a r e asonabl e mann er. Meanwhile, his calm accept�nce of the ide a that .certain things in life resist e xplanation is brought home to us time and agai n. In this connection, one a noteworthy fe ature of Bunuel's film is that it gives us an ironical encourage ment to graps at these illusory explanations. The lamb, for instance, is blindfolded before it is slaughte re d to satisfy hunger. To satisfy thirst, a wate r main is burst, with a gesture reminiscent of Moses smiting the ro ck in Horeb "that the people may drink" (Exodus 17:6). Y et if we are to identify the lamb with the one slain and eaten at the Passover, or with the Lamb of God, if we equate the discovery of wate r with divine inte ivention, then we must admit at the same time that- the Old Testament Mose s and the Ne w· Testament Christ actually le ad their followers away from salvation. Should symbolism be present, its function is to trap the viewer into see king conclusions that con tradict the very precess of symbolizing, B ut i f w e do t r y to understand/El An_gclexterminador, we must n ot be .surprised to hear Bunuel say, as he did in an inte rvie w with Ele na Poniatowska, "It's mystery that interests me. Mystery is the essential e le ment in every work of art. I shall never tire of re peatin !{ this."

Sellers,· Scott Lead Cast in Kubrick's Satirical 'Dr. Strangelove'

By TOM BECK Three themes are constantly intertwined in Stanley Kubrick's brilliant satire "Dr.Strangelove,or� How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb": man's desire to destroy himself, his blindness in the face of major catastrophes and his desire to ignore them and his lack of responsibility for and control over his life (and death). G ener al Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), petrified by the Communist Fluoridation Plot, orders his SAC bombers to attack Russia. After his sealed base is captured by American troops sent there by the President (Peter Sellers), he kills himself rather than submit to "Communist" torture. destroyed.

Kubrick wrote the screenplay, along with Peter George and Terry ;Southern (based on George's susp�nse-thriller novel "Red Alert"). The characters are more caricature than life-like, but in t h e i r d e v o t i on to t he i r idiosyncracies and minor idiocies, t hey resemble the rest of humanity quite comfortably. From the Freudian opening scene to the orgiastic end, the film is f ull of sexual overtones, the m atching, perhaps, self-destruction of our sex drive.

Continentals Drop Finale to Union AsTime ·Runs. Out on Blue Season

By ROBERT McCORMICK Fate has it in for the Buff and Blue. All season long the breaks went the other way-seemingly sure scoring drives failed by in che s , pena1i te s d i s r upted m om en tum,. a nd second-half catch-up attempts always failed. The frustration reached its zenith at Steuben Field last Saturday as the Continentals, seeking to avoid the dubious distinction of having the nation's longest losing streak, wound up their season against arch-rival U ni o n. Once a g a in, forces

seemingly beyond the Blue's contro_l were a factor in the contest's outcome. The team appeared to have a good chance of winning this one. The Dutchmen of Union came to the Hill' with a l-7 slate and their statistics were similar to those of the. Continentals. The defense, sparked by the efforts of John Newell and Bill Ferris (playing their Jast game for the Blue), was so psyched that it a l l o w�d t.he U nion offense virtually no gain on its first three possessions. But despite excellent·

FEINGOLD A ND SHOEN You never hear anybody call someone else a good winner-but this is ridiculous. In the past two weeks the Hamilton College Cross Country team (which is now rivalling Colgate and Christian Brothers Academy of Syracuse for Central ·New York cross country supremacy) and the soccer tea� both received statewide recognition for their season's accomplishments. Where's the parade, the trumpets, the cherubim and the seraphim? The cross country team finished a very strong second to Colgate in the New York State Championship. Despite injuries and illnesses, the team did very well in touring the five mile LeMoyne course. The star of the day was Bruce Carter, who finished first and paced the second fastest time ever recorded on the LeMoyne terrain. The same afternoon, Dave Mohler of Rochester (who had previously been beaten by John Schmeyer) won the national meet. If you compare Mahler's results with his results in previous encounters with the Hamilton College team, it is apparent that Hamilton has several All-American caliber runners. But, due to scheduling and financing, · the runners competed on the state level and narrowly missed the BIG prize. The soccer team also reaped the rewards of a very fine season by being chosen to compete in the Eastern College Athletic Conference Soccer Tournament. They lost in the first round. But that was without one of their finest players, Walt Stugis, playing at all and frisbee-injured Dave Church (sabotaged by the physical plant) unable to play up to par. Whoknows·what could have happeped? That kicks things in the head for this year. With most of the team returning, they'll be kicking in the heads again next year.

But they always compliment a good loser. The football players, like all other athletes on the Hill, play for nothing more than the pleasure of playing. They've worked hard-from the end of August until the middle of November and they don't have a basketful of accomplishments to look back on. It's hard to suit up and lose your 21st in a row. But, perhaps most important, is that the attrition rate on the team is so low, which is a reflection on the character of these athletes. They play-they don't get plush �artments : in Clinton !I<

****

But the coaching staff does get paid. And from the sidelines, I do not always feel that the coaching decisions are up to par with the courage and spirit of the team. When a team loses so consisteiltly, through no inherent fault of its own, and they find themselves in a close game, the coach should be willing to take a chance. Against Franklin and Marshal, in the second half and down by five points, Hamilton punted with fourth and inches in the vicinity of midfield. After that, F&M controlled the· ball and the game-eating up the clock and destroying all of Hamilton's hopes. After the second touchdown against Fordham, they sent in their fine kicker, Bill Finan, to go for the extra point. The one point conversion put them in the position where they would need a field goal to tie · and a touchdown to win the game. If they had gone for a two-poin-t conversion, and failed, they still would have needed that same TD to win. A succesful two-pointer would have meant that only a field goal would be needed to win. Playing percentages for a. tie? Is it getting so bad that a tie is as good as a win? Although more open for debate amongst Monday morning quarterbacks, the decision against Union seemed equally as ridiculous. With less than a yard to go for the TD, Hamilton went for the field goal. The real point is not that it was missed-what is the point is that, with more than two minutes to play, Union would have been forced to navigate from its own one-yard line. The TD would have put Hamilton in command and, if they missed it they most likely would have had a chance to try for the same field goal-maybe not from as close. I wouldn't mind going with Coach King to Vernon 'Downs sometime and place two dollar show bets on the 2-5 favorites.

Intramural Update Intramural basketball began this week with 24 teams co�peting to make it to the playoffs. The teams to watch this year should be DU N6.l, ·the Indy Champs, Psi U No.I and DKE No.l . Games start at 8,9, and IO p.m. and the schedule is posted in the gym. Hockey season will open following Thanksgiving break and the -schedule should be posted and distributed by Saturday. The teams to watch on the ice this season seem to be AD, and the Indy's. The next meeting of the Intramural Council will be at 7:00, 3rd floor Bristol on Wed. Dec. 4.

field position, the Hamilton offense couldn't click. T he Dutchmen drew first blood, picking off a LaFountain pass and returning it for the score. A few minutes into the second quarter, the Union offense capped its only successful drive of the day with a one-yard plunge by flashy b a c k R o n W e s tb rook. The point-after failed, but the score was 13-0 in Union's favor. · The Hamilton eleven was not to be denied, however. As they have done so often this season, they dominated the second half. LaF ountain, the ECAC Division Ill's top q_uarterback, came out thro·wigg. Elusive flanker Dave Pisanelli ha1,lled in a perfectly thrown 39 yard LaFountain aerial to p u t t he Conts on the score-board. But the snap on the point-after attempt was bobbled, and Bill Finan's delayed boot sailed to the left of the crossbar.

Any worthwhile intercollegiate athletic program should provide its students with appropriate facilities and a mature staff which will teach and train them, and it should excite their Competition is the aim of intercollegiate sports. Any worthwhile intercollegiate athletic program should provicle its students with appropriate facilities and a mature staff which will teach and train them, and it should excite their enthusiasm and the enthusiasm of other .perspective athletes. Administrative comments which have followed the recent football coach shuffle, however, seem to suggest a policy which could disturb the stability of the football program and intercollegiate athletics in general here. For it could result in placing undue pressure upon the Admissions Department, the physical education staff, the players themselves,and develop mistaken expectations among alumni. Along with nebulous statements that the administration is acting "iri the best interests'' of Hamilton football, President C a ro v an o h as p ledged t h at H am i l ton will become competitive with teams from Bowdoin, Middlebury, and Williams. And Vice-President Joseph F."Anderson has said, "It makes me sick to see Hamilton lose." Both administra­ tors have already asked alumni to recruit athletes. The apparent emphasis upon winning, however, leads one to believe that inadvisable actions will be taken to achieve that.· Regardless of whether a team were well-coached, high­ spiritied, and faced with equal competition, will a team or its coaches unduly be blamed for defeat? Recruiting, within the framework of an academic institu­ tion such as Hamilton, which is also bound to the restrictive gui�lines of the North East Small College Athletic Confe­ rence, must be primarily the province of the coach. Alumni should be welcome to offer their suggestions. But if a contin­ ued emphasis is placed on recruitment by alumni, they will eventually want to know why the increasing number of ap­ plicants they recommend are not necessarily accepted, and objective admissions decisions will be precluded. A l u m ni and students have expressed disappointment when Hamilton teams lose. But what should be of principal concern is that the best staff be retained and that an atmos­ pher be created for healthy, enthusiastic competition within a highly academic institution.

Feeling Sick

The hospital has- become an increasingly popular retreat for politicians who have found the heat in the kitchen a little too �uch to stand, (with apologies to plucky Harry Truman, who would have been the last to cut and run). Richard Nixon -has thrown the Watergate trial into havoc; phlebitis, with doctor's certification, timetable and all have kept him away. And Wilbur Mills, if he hasn't prevented his own slide from power, has at least slowed it with his entry into the hospital, which seems to promise him little sympathy from anyone except Fanne Foxe,_the Tidal Basin B,ombshell, which, per­ haps, is all Wilbur really wants now anyway. What all this means, however, is a terrible example for people looking for a way out when it's the pressure-cooker they're in. Phlebitis? Exhaustion? Wilbur said his heart was ·skipping beats. But whose heart doesn't when faced with the prospect of � week of finals and a reading period that's only five days long instead. of a semester - which is what some people really need. Or when faced with a pile of unwritten µqn-s which could only be written if one had an extension to May. We've .already been shown the way .out by Nixon, Mills, and all the children whose sore throats appear the morning before the big spelling bee. Don't fight it� Fake it. Buy or cry your way into the Health Center, and cool your heels until the heat passes.

As a result, his winning seasons were becoming more and more extinct. By my freshman year, I felt he was apathetic toward the game. Virtually, he didn't care what was going to happen on Saturday.

Flaming the F�ns

By VINCENT L. DiCARLO "Hey, we beat Oswego;" one of the hardy souls who travelled to see Hamilton's first hockey game of the season might have been heard to say in the Pub in Wednesday night. "Toe Blue certainly won, but what's this 'we' business? I didn't know you played hockey," was an often heard, and even more often thought reaction. Indignation of this sort is most common among those who have at one time or another also played a team game. They rightly point out that the cheering crowds that regularly stuff the Sage Rink and even· occasionally brave snow, ice and hostile fans to see games at other schools rarely venture out onto the ice. Such participation would probably meet' with vigorous disapprival from the officials, in fact. By virtue of what then is out enthusiastic hockey fan gleefully exulting over "our" victory? The root of this use of the first person plural possessive pronoun when referring to team victories or defeats is_also the reason why large amounts of energy and money are expended on team sports in the_ first place and why they are so much more popular than individual competitions. Tacit belief in the existence of the teaµi as a thing above and beyond the players who make it up makes it possible for a fan to feel included in the struggle, to partake, as ABC Sports puts it, in "the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat." Colleges do everything in their power to promote this belief in an entity transcending the players. Uniforms an: not just to enable the players to identify their teammates. The donning of the school 1 colors makes each player the champion of the institution. When the crowd shouts for a particular member it is hoping he will help the team effort, but when it shouts "go blue!" it is shouting for itself as much as for the men on skates. A fan who identifies himself with his institution by standing when other members do, cheering its cheers, or wearing its colors, is giving the only prerequisite for participating emotionally in its contests. This is not a cognitive claim to nave acted in a way that sign ificantly contributes to a win or a loss. The fan has, though, won the right to say "we." This need not be the point of view of the people who wave the wooden sticks in order to be true for the fans. No doubt the players see the game as primaril y a personal conflict rather than as an institutional one. Yet, when they cheer for a point scored while they were n ot personally on the ice they exhibit the same- sort of vicarious pleasure as the fans. The institution they participate in is smaller and its members have more in common. But the fact that is is probably limited to those closely associated with the actual playing does not alter the institutional basis of that pleasure. Emotional loyalties foJKed in the sports arena are not limited to it. Once it is established that it is "our" hockey, soccer or football team it is a logical step to its being ••our"' school. Trustees realize this and also realize that alumni donations depend on the emotional participation in the fortunes of the college by those alumni. The reason why the college lavishly supports leam sports is not to produce a winning Tecord, provide entertainment for students on weekends or give athletes a chance to achieve proficiency in their sports. This is why a lot of the talk about the football team is simply foolish. We care about its performance. but-the reason that the team exists has nothing to do with the record itself. This week, there will be a hockey game in the Sage Rink. I hope / we win.

Residence Prop9sal

Housing continued from page one year trial, according to Carol of the Eymen, chairman Residence Committee. The Black and Puerto Rican women expressed the need for a prop osal that would guarantee them special interest housing each year, Eyman said. Furthermore, they said that the exclusion of freshwomen from the special interest housing limited their chances of gathering six p eople to fill a suite. The proposal presently requires that suites be filled at the time the request is submitted. Meaningful Housing The Residenc� Committee's proposal for special interest housing was presented on the grounds that the living experience at Kirklan d ·should} be a meaningful part of the total education of the students, and that special interest housing was required to fulfill that experience. Eyman said that the Black and Puerto Rican women expressed the opinion that their need was already justified by dint of their limi ted population among. a predom inately white student body. Both the revised Residence Committee proposal and the Black and Puerto Ri an women's proposal will be heard at the Dec. 9 �sembly meeting.

KIRKLAND COLLEGE STUDENT LIFE: RESIDENCE SPECIAL INTEREST UNIT - PROPOSAL GUIDELINES 1975-1976 Responding to a continued interest by Kirkland students for alternative housing options, the Residence Committee of Student Life proposes special interest units be established £n the suite residence halls for the 1975-1976 school year. This proposal, we feel, will further promote positive living experiences within the buil.dings and will better utilize the facilities within the suite living arrangement. Kirkland College believes that the living experience should be a meaningful part of the total education of its students. The college is also committed to diversity throughout its housing units. With this in mind, the possibility for a group based upon a common interest or an academic theme should be made available. Therefore, student groups wishing to live together for a special interest are invited to submh proposals to the Residence Committee of Student Life. .,,... The proposal itself is of utmost importance. The committee believes the ability of a group t� agree upon and then to express its goals and ideals is crucial. Criteria for selection will indude educational validity and creativity of the proposal. Proposals may be oriented toward a particular academic area(e.g., a foreign language unit) or toward a special interest (e.g., shared cultural experiences, meditation). The suite living arrangements of Milbank and "B" Residence Halls are most suitable for this special interest housing. The stress is being placed on each individual's commitment to the goals and programs of the group. Theref?re, we ask that you not request a particular suite. Each participant must sign the proposal and, in addition, should submit an individual statement indicating her commitment to the group's goals and what she hopes· to contribute to and gain from the experience. The signature of each participant indicates her agreement and understanding of the proposal, as well as, in the event of acceptance, her willingness to live in the area assigned to the group. · Names of alternates willing to join the group in the case of withdrawal from school by an original participant should also be A stairway in Milba'nk Dorm, one of the buildings in which submitted. The order in which they are to be placed in vacancies must special interest housing might be located if approved. be indicated. Alternates will go through the regular lottery. In addition the following should be understood:· -�-!..E:.. ., ..- .-,.• _.._ · · 1. The special unit must be filled at the time the proposal is submitted. 2. If a vacancy occurs that cannot be filled by the group, the unit will be assigned non-members. 3.

"Two or Three Things ... "

By PETER SOMMER

"Two or 'l;hree Things I Know About Her." It is one of Godard's most beautiful titles. And it turns out to be one of Godard's best films.

The film expresses the state of mind of a lower-middle-class young Wife who lives in a new housing project in the outskirts of Paris and goes whoring on the streets, respectably parking her children, to earn enough loose change to buy the clothes and the -.mokes of a bourgeoise. Social Irony The social irony is a simple circle, perfectly and swiftly made in Godard's particular way, and the girl's consciousness of it is both blasted and blithe. She takes this to be a fact of her city. The "her" of the title probably refers as much to Paris as to the heroine, who is played by Marina Vlady. The picture begins with the sound of . a whisper-Godard's mind-nearly drowned by traffic. The whisper continues throughout the movie, worrying at scraps of thought about existence and language over the racket of cars and building sites. As in most of Godard's work, the split between the subjective and the objective in the film is not simple. It hacks the picture down

the middle, in fact, letting it spill so�e of the director's blood, though a light self-mockery makes the blood seem tomato ketchup. The subjectivity is all in the whispers, audible, barely intermittent, quoting words from Wittgenstein, from the process of this from film-making, Communist newspapers, whatever. The objectivity is in the enacted drama, the characters in the film, the visible. Godard is the most Brechtian of directors. Marina Vlady first appears as herselt named as herself, noted as being "of Russian extraction." She turns her

head. Then she is introduced as the character-"not of Russian extraction." She again turns her head, but now the other way, because the actress' point of view has switched to the audience's point of view. When the heroine moves easily from action within a scene to speak to us directly about herself and her quandries, it creates two dualities of consciousness-hers about her life and her "acting" of it, ours about the film as fictional truth and about the making of that truth. There is a nice sense of metatheater-of the heroine living continned on page seven

Folk Concert Tonight

The three represent varied styles of folk music, and although they are relatively unknown, each is enjoying new critical acclaim.

of London and his Bottle Hill cohorts shine through. Raun MacKinnon is relatively unknown outside the folk music field, but to those on the inside she is becoming increasingly popular. She and her husband, Jeremiah Burnham, were formerly members of the old-time group Jake and the Family Jewels. Tonight she will r play guitar, backed up by a bongo player, flautist, and bassist. While she has a recording contract with Kapp records, she has recently entered the role of studio bar.kup artist. She also sang background vocals on Murray McLaughlin's first album and on John Prine's third, "Sweet Revenge." Paul Geremia has long been a mainstay in the folk music scene in this country.

Mansfield described the Whip Inflation New program and the Presid�nt's other proposals as efforts which "instead of biting a bullet, are more like nibbling on a marshmallow."

"It seems like we just got down here, and now we're half-way through 'our executive internships."

both species of animal, and are not transmitted between them," according to Dr. Harold H. Bond, vete rinar ian at the Burrstone Animal Hospital in Utica. The noticeable symptoms in cats· are vomiting, diarrhea, and depression, accompanied by a general weakened conditioned and a loss of solid and liquid intake. Akin to most viruses, it is contracted by direct animal contact or contact with the animal's various bodily secretions. The treatment for cats consists of a combination of antibiotics, administered by a veterinarian and intravenous· injections of fluid to the cat, in order to rehydrate the fluid loss_. Distemper in dogs is analagous to the human cold, and causes sneezing, coughing and a running nose. If neglected, it may spread from the respiratory to the nervous system, and cause paralysis or convulsions. I n b oth c as e s, m e di cal assistance is essential for the anim al's r e c overy. However, may be transmitted to neither humans. "Th e distemper s c ar e," according to Linda MacKenzie, chairman of the Humane Socie ty,' 'i s p r e sently under control, and was never a real cause for alarm. It was publicized as a preventitive measure, to insure the awareness of the dangers involved in the distemper disease." The Humane Society strongly sugge s t s that all pet-owners vaccinate their animals, to avoid future distemper outbreaks. To further protect campus animals, the society has kept the one rem aining infe cted dog in seclu sion , and h a s spr ayed disinfectant in ha lls o f d o rm s known to have been inhabited by a diseased animal.

C om p laints concerning. the e ffectiveness of the Humane Society have been voiced recently by b o th a dministrators and students. Animals in non-animal buildings, cleaning up after them, . their care and feeding are cited· as problems. And the .five cases of d i s t em per have resulted in d iscussions of leash laws, a limitation on the size of animals, and even such a drastic measure as a ban on all animals on the campuses. "There is obviously a lack of control here," said Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Linda Patrick and added that she thought the Assembly should look into the validity and actual power of the H um a n e •so ci ety. She said, though, that the responsibility lays finally in the hands of the animal owners_ "Why should the majority of s tu d e n t s t ake care of the m i n o r it y's pr ob le m s w it h animals," she said. Co-chairpersons of the Society Linda MacKenzie and Phil Hayes said that they take care of every complaint which they receive, but they �o not receive many. "We can't do anything unless we are told," said Hayes. He adde4 "Our obvious goal is the protection of animals and the p r otection of the rights · of non-owners. The major problem for the Society, said MacKenzie, was that it is understaffed probably due to the function of of. the Humane . Society as a service to the college co m mu n i t y as o p posed to committee work which many more students ar-e involved in. They also believe that there is a lack of respect for the rules put down by the Humane Society; rules they say, which should reflect the interests of the student body because they are passed in the Assembly. MacKenzie and Hayes also wonder whether more publicity would do any good since publicity in the past has not been very effective. Patrick said that people ought to take the initiative to report complaints to the society rather than waiting until something drastic hap pens as did with the outbreak. of distemper on the Kirkland campus. According to MacKenzie and Hayes, "personal responsibility" is needed in dealing with the animals. "It's basically a concern for the animals' well bein·g," said Patrick. She hopes that drastic measures will not have to be taken, but feels, as many do, that the animal situation, as it now stands, cannot continue.

Edwin Mansfield Visits Colleges; COuise ]lOOk List To Look at Economics Program

By NEIL C HENEY Edwin Mansfield, professor of _ economics at the Wharton School of Economics of the University o f Pennsylvania spent today at Hamilton College, as part of the college's ongoing program to evaluate a department each who semester. Mansfield . lectured in E conomics 10 this morning, is the author of the textbook currently being used by that introductory course, as well as books used in the Industrial Relations and Microeconomics courses. Sidney Wertimer, chairman o f the Economics Department, said the primary reason for his visit is "to prove to the introductory students that Mansfield is a person and not a book, to help further personalize the course." Mansfield will atso act as an "arbiter and recommender" toexamine the size of the Department and the methods of teaching, particularly in the introductory course. "I want him to tell me if we are doing a lousy job teaching the course," said introductory knows "Mansfield Wertimer. everything that could be known about introductory economics." A Plea·sant Thing Mansfield views his visit as more of a "pleasant thing to do, " an opportunity to meet students and give a . lecture. "I do no t view myself as an evaluator," said · Mansfield in an interview last night at Wertimer's holJle. The mo st important aspect of teaching economics is to teach it well, which can be done in classes of various kinds, said Mansfield. ·He added that l arge clas·ses can be successful depending upon the professor who ·teaches the course and his attitude, the attitude of the !>tudents and the teaching methods used. M ansfield spoke of a "trade-off' that exists between small and large clas�es. By teaching large classes well, a continued on pa e seven The Tailor Shop

·Swim Team ·shows Strenth .. The Hamilton College Swim Team was in strange surroundings last Wednesday when they met Oneonta and Cortland in a "double dual" meet at the Utica 1 •. College Pool. But the result of the two contests were no different than outlasted Hamilton usual. Oneonta 67 to 46 and swamped Cortland 86 to 27. Cortland never was a threat, but Oneonta, finishing second in the SUNY State Meet last season, had the potential to ups�t the Hill swimmers. Oneonta was rated as an equal with the Hamilton squad, but Coach Eric MacDonald has rated his own Hamilton team as the most talented squad that has ever swam theHill's waters. Depth The depth of the Blue swimmers and the 1ack of depth on the Oneonta squad was the key to the outcome of the contest. Oneonta's lack of depth was most evident in the 500-yard Free and the 200-yd. Breaststroke. By the time that these two events were swum ( the 500 -yd. Free and the 200-yd. B-reast are events 10 and 11 of the 13 even ts), the opposition could only swim one man in each event. Hamilton clinched the victory in the following event, the Optional Diving. Champion Carlberg Jeff Carlberg swam against Oneonta just than more National The Wednesday. Champion Breaststroker was to swim against Oneonta's Haru Naito, who was the 1973 National Champ. Carlberg and N aite first met in the New.York State Meet when they were juniors in high school. In their senior year Jeff placed fourth in the State Gpampionships and Haru · placed second. But �e winner of the event that day was Charles Hampton, also at the Utica Pool Wednesday swimming for the Cortland Red Dragons. Before the race, Carlberg said, "I'm worried about this one." His fears were never realized though as he outstroked both Hampton anClNait_<?e, and finished the race ,ix seconds in front of Hampton who touched out Naite. Carlberg's time of 2:15.0 was faster than he has ever performed

where lie left off last year setting a new school record in the 1000-yd. Free and winning the event. Greenh�gh has been swimming neck and neck with freshman Bucko Strehlow. Bucko won both the 200-yd. Free and the 500-yd. Free. His efforts in the 500-yd. event earned him a school record. Strehlow is the prime example of the new strength that the freshmen have added to the always strong Hamilton club. Brian Hogan winning the 200-yd. Individual Medley, Spunky Graf in the IM and Backstroke events, Gordy Hirsch in the diving, and Mike Gibson in the Free events all back up Strehlow and the rest of the Hamilton squad. Saturday the Continentals at Bonaventure St. meet Bonaventure. Coach MacDonald said, "They have three excellent swimmers. Next to our team's performance, I would say that St. Bonaventure performed better than anyone else in the State Meet last year." They finished third behind Hamilton. Coach MacDonald does not expect the Boonies to be much of a threat and in the light of up and coming exams has let his swimmers choose if they want to swim against Bonaventure.

in the event, faster than he swam in the National Championships last year, and a new school record. Many people, even , Coach MacDonald, expressed disbelief as Carlberg finished the race. Undoubtedly, Jeffs last year of competitive swimming will certainly he his best. Hamilton showed a new strength in the two contests when Paul Edick set two new diving records for the Blue. Edick won both the required and optional events. Gordy Hirsch added some new blood to the Blue diving squad "'placing third in the requireds against Cortland and fourth behind the experienced Oneonta _divers. Unfortunately, Hirsch hit his feet on the board during the event and his finish was not as strong·_ as it could have been. Eric- Kulp dove in the optional event and showed some new dives. Kulp also dove with composure and confidence which was lacking in his performance last season. Edick is the player-coach of the divers. He spent his summer in Cleveland and brought back some new dives and the knowledge that Hamilton diving has needed in recent years. The team is lucky to have Edick on and off the board.

Is Clinton a 'Co1le1te Town'? By- Robby Miller

village population, which already includes many college employees, is about 2500. In addition, the increase in the number of "Clinton is a peculiar college town. It is a: townspeople over the years has been about college town in the sense that the college is the same as the increase in students. "There is no doubt that students here, but not in the sense that one is aware upon entering the community that Hamilton comprise the biggest, cohesive buying power in the village of Clinton," said Mellon, whose and Kirkland are present." This view, as expressed by Raymond store' depends upon students for nearly 50 Mellen of Moses Foote Worldwide Imports, per cent of its revenues. Mellen's store is like many in Clinton, is one that is shared by many people living on and off "the Hill," who see Clinton as a which opened 10 or more years · ago combination of two distinct communities: "without even thinking" about the college the wealthy, suburban, profe�ional villagers student market but has since realized its and the well-to-do students, faculty, and value. Whereas H.J. Allen, whose hardware store administrators at the colleges.

Pub at the Inn. Most students,. however, , would probably agree with the statement of a Hamilton sophomore who said, "This village should offer more of what other college towns provide, such as inexpensive but stylish-looking cocktail-entertainment -lounges, pizza and sub parlors, and a Levi's clothing store." As Sally Mellen of Worldwide Imports said, "This college town is . .. far against the norm. Even Hamilton, New York, is [more normal] with its college bars ... " . Perhaps the interests of townspeople and those of the college staff and students in Clinton are not as closely interwoven as such communities as. Ann Arbor, or nearby Hamilton, home of Colgate University. The separation of interests here has occurred partly, of course, because of the physical separation of the Hill from the village. But mostly the separation is due to certaln attitudes and policies on the part of both g r o u p s , o n e ·o f w h i c h i s the p revi ous l y-mentioned lack of student orientation by Clinton businesses. Another is what one villager calls "the self-perpetuating isolationist" policy of the College. "The College has polarized itself, at least residentially, has prevented non-college types from living up the Hill by buying private homes as they went up for sale ,and putting faculty in them," this villager said. "By and large, it has pretty much separated · itself from the rest of the community; no one is saying that this is the right way, but many say, 'why fight it?' " Social friction between the Hill and the village is . further caused by the social separation between Hamilton and Kirkland. As M r. Mellenc pointed out, "When so cializing between administration. and faculty, we seldom see Hamilton and Kirkland members together at the same party. If you can't get the tw·o ca_mpuses together, how the hell can you get the colleges and the village together." "To us, it's absolutely mind-boggling for such a small school," he said. Some villagers further complain that ,the colleges have "intimidated"· them by not keeping them as well-informed of college events, such as lectures and team sports, and of college services, such as the use_ of the Book Store, as they wen� two years ago. These townspeople are somewhat saddened that the Colleges have not made more of a· "conscious effort" to encourage co·mmunity · interaction with the school. Also, some townspeople, such as Larry Vaughn, the owner of Holland Farms, feel that the college administration should promote a representative on the Clinton Chamber of Commerce. Nonetheless, despite these difficulties, most villagers view the relationship between I

"I think there's- more student intere�t, especially at Kirkland, in the community than ever before," said another villager. On the plus side of town-gown relations, people both on and off the hill emphasize the success of the Kirkland teaching internship program, the Free School, the

'The College has pola�ized itself... why fight it?' Host Family idea of Joel Tibbetts, and the special effort by Coach Long to invite the public in Clinton to the fall football games. However, there are some lingering reverberations which -are still felt by villagers and faculty who remember a night in 1958 when several fraternity members were

ipvolved in a brawJ with townspeople at the Village Tavern, which virtually demolished the place. "After that, the Clinton area really, looked down on the kids for a long while," said Bob Hazleton, "and things were tough." Mo st vi llagers thus treasure the "pfeasant" relationship that exists today, for they also remember the day just five years ago this spring when Hamilton and Kirkland students wearing black armbands marched side-by-side _in a massive, silent anti-war procession down College Hill Road onto the Village Green. "Those were tense times," said Ray Mellen,_"and the endless sight of such a potentially powerful force made a lot of people and merchants in this little village realize how small a proportion of that college community we'd actually touched.'" It is clear that Hamilton-Kirkland and Clinton have come a long way since both of those days in terms of understanding and communicating ,with each other. But it is also clear that a great deal more "touching" i s l ef t to b e done between both communities.

arts," said Dean of Academic Affairs Catherine Frazer. "I think our students are in an important way ahe,ad of students that go to strictly technical art schools," said Arts Division Chairman Rosenfeld. "Art is not just a matter of technical finesse. The technical training students receive here, given the amount of time they spend at it, is as good as they would receive in a professional · school-but with the added ingredient of a liberal arts education behind it. And that's where art flourishes." However, one student, Nancy Burnett '75, who declared as an art major and then decided against it, said she found it too difficult to practice art seriously within a _ liberal arts school. "Art is just as academic as any other field," she said. "But if you do any other academic work, something has to suffer, and with me, art usually did." Some object to this point of view... "You can't underrate the strength of the arts w ithin t he liberal arts," said Carol Bellini-Sharp, assistant professor of drama. "Both can be strong. They fulfill one another; they feed one another." "The arts are an integrated part of life," said Robert B. Muirhead, associate professor of painting, printmaking and drawing. "Here it plays just about the right role-a significant one." Assistant-Professor of Visual Arts William Salzillo defined art as "A way of thinking. It's especially effective in -teaching students to think in situations. A good deal of living is creative. You need a creative imagination to survive." Al t hough there · are more students majoring in "art" than in literature or psychology or any other discipline, the total number of students concentrating in any A r ts Division subject-counting dance, drama, music, and writing as well as art-is less than in any other division except the

Public Library, said that Hamilton was quieter then �han it is now. "There were only 550 students here then," he said. Fraternities had a much larger role in the college social life, and "there was a great deal of college enthusiasm. There seems to be a changed atmosphere-a beneficial change," he said. '�It seems more lively, and freer." Pilkington said that the student body ha_s always been an easy group to deal with. He said that he does not have much direct contact with students, since he does not teach and is not involved in freshman orientation, and implied that he must come across as an old fogey.·" I must irritate the tears out of them, especially- the Kirkland students, because I think of them the way I think of my daughter," he said. Pilkington, modest about his own role in the planning and development of the Daniel Burke Library, is proud of the library and has said it is the subject of envy for many outsiders. "A lot of visitors come and drool over this place," he said. He related with amazement that one person from Colorado had called him and said that he had read about our library and said he would like to see it. The designing of the.

faculty, students, and other colleges, he said. "It was really fun, and it worked out pretty well," Pilkington said. "And we got it finished on time!" A lot of what Pilkington described as "minute fussiness"went into the designing of the library. He cited for an example the chairs. The chairs were especially designed for the library, he said. It had been decided that there should be wooden chairs, since padded ones get torn. They had a number of different chairs designed, and tried them out w'ith the students. "We ended up with a chair that is wider than most," Pilkington said,"because, well, ' men seem to be built larger than they used to be, and the Kirkland students liked to be able to curl up their legs under them when they sat." The chairs are also especially designed to hang coats on, according to Pilkington. He explained that when the library was being designed, it was decided that a coat-room would be a waste of space, and people didn't want coat-hooks on all the walls, so no one knew what shou°Id be done with the coats. A Kirkland student, Pilkington said, suggested that the supports of the backs of the chairs be one-eighth of an inch higher than the backs of the chairs, so coats could be hung from them. This idea was incorporated into the chair design. Besides the chair design and other minpr details, the Burke Library is also built to accomodate the technical changes which advancement in library mana·g ement and science will bring about. With the increased use of computers, for example, the scope covered by bibliographies of materials is becoming world-wide, Pilkington said. With computer listings of materials, the location of a particular book or article will be able to be found almost instantaneously, and the material, or a photocopy of it, can be sent to the person needing it. "The basic business of the library has not changed," Pilkington said. "The emphasis is still · on getting bibliographic materials together." · "With this technological revolution, the factor of time is disappearing," Pilkington said. "You can get information in a matter of seconds, and reproduce pages of materials. You don't need the originals."

The Burke Library was designed to accommodate an increase in use of · electr onic equipment, according to Pilkington. "It was expected that we would not be involved in technological change for five to ten years, when the library was bull t," he said. "But we had only been in it onevyear when it hit." The building is all set up to receive wet carrels (in which electrical equipment can be used) closed-circuit television, and an increasing use of computer terminals, all of which Pilkington expects within the next ten years. "It is important that when the changes come, we won't have to tear the building down. We'll only hav.e to •plug the equipment in," he-said. Pilkington said that among the future plans for the library is the installation of an electronic circulation control system to check the proliferation of missing books. He said that it was planned for when the library was built--all the electrical work is there--but was not put in at the time. "We discussed it with the students and the faculty," he said,"and we thought that what was called the Honor Code tradition would be strong enough that it would not be necessary." Pilkington generalized · about the cause of the problem of material being taken without being signed for ·to the student protests of the sixties. ''The old unwritten rules, such as Pilkington said that future library-related signing for. things, started eroding," he said. Pilkington said that while. at other colleges uses of electronic technology will include g rea te r uses o f m i c r o�print, a n d the book removal was a matter of theft, here • ' p h o t o - f a c s i m iie students often take bboks unsigned and.then transmission,"--photocopies sent as news bring them back.

The function of a college library has Pilkington said that seeing and being involved in such vast changes in the changed within the last number of years, c�pabilities of library science is "kind of according to Pilkington. He said that the fun." "It's probably only fun to people interested in the library trade," he added. He admitted that he did not understand much of the technology involved and, gesturing towards his office manual typewriter and, gesturing towards his office manual typewriter, facetiously said that that was about all that he could cope with. The increased use of technology has made possible the extension of the system of inter-library loans which has been in effect in the central New York area for about · fifteen years.

Cross Country College Hill By Mark McMurray For those snowy winter afternoons, when you think the only alternative to a nap is a beer down at the Village Tavern, borrow a pair of skis from a friend or the Outing Club and try crossrcountry skiing. Cross country skiing can be either a grueling workout or a little more strenuous than indoor gardening. Anyone who can walk can ski. To be sure, developing a strong gliding stride, necessary for racing or advanced touring, requires balance and some practice, but the beginner can enjoy cross country just as much as the expert. Lately more and more people have discovered the oldest form of skiing. Whether for .a mile loop or a three day _winter camping tour, cross country -skiing is not (as once thought) a sport for those too arthritic for Alpine or downhill skiing. If you are tired of the crowds, the ridiculous lift ticket prices, and long drives that render you incapable of more than two runs down the mountain, cross country might be worth a try. However, the two forms of skiing do not have to be mutually exclusive. For the weeks in between the skiing holidays, you also allowing different woods to· be used in warmed in with a torch.

Fortunately, perfect waxing is not necessary to enjoy your trip. There are about five trails in the · immediate area of the colleges, and one can develop a number of variations for each. The three mairi ones are through Kirkland Glen, through Rogers Glen, and around the college reserv·oir. The main trail in Kirkland Glen can be followed .into Fanguitos field or into Root Glen and down Bundy. Kirkland Glen is probably the best place for the beginner for it is mostly flat and easy to follow. Rougher· terrain can be found in Roger's Glen (behind the soccer field).

An educational process can only have limited effectiveness, for while we can tell a student what plagiarism is, we cannot always justify the court's punishment in specific cases of academic fraud. Here_ is not the place to debate the sense of the notion that • guilt comes in degrees. Suffice it to say that where guilt is obvious, that alone may not de te rmine punishment. Curiously, the con s ti tution vaguely asserts that the "Penalty must be commensurate with the crime," while offering only two alternatives: failure in the paper and failure in the course. This points to a major institution.al weakness. As members of the court we_ know that given only two choices we often discover ourselves "settling" for a punisliment which does not suit the offense. We ask the· court, the student body, the facu lty an.d the administration two questions. First, is there a need for new alternatives, and second, what might that · be? Frankly, substantive solutions have eluded us: The faculty is loath to accept no credit as a possible new punishment and the students balk at any idea of their permanent record being scarred by a designation which shows that they have cheated. And so, the ·students who come before the court continue to be judged in a system which is not as equitable as it might be. In summary, there ought to be .other penalties available to guarantee that decisions will be made in an atmosphere which can both assume that the character of an act is defined by its circumstances and then have the means at its disposal to satisfy that belief.

The 'Tramp,' a Genius of-Gestures By Peter Sommer In his autobiography, Charlie Chaplin recounts his struggle to find an idea for his second feature, insisting to himself: "This next film must be an epic! The greatestf' "The Gold Rush" (1925 ), is the "epic" that Chaplin was looking for. The opening strikes a serious .note. The first shots are o f a long, serpentine· line of prospectors filing up the snow-covered Chilkoot Pass {fihned in Nevada, actually). The· sequence is grim;· we even see one of the prospectors collapse while the others trudge heedlessly past him. Then a title announces "A. Lone Prospect or," and we see a narrow mountain path on the edge o f a steep drop. I always laugh at once, not just because I kno w . Chaplin is coming and the path is dangerous, but because the scenery-separated fro m the . opening by only one title-is s o patently phony compared with the reality of the pass. Thus, early in the fibn� Chaplin establishes a contrast that c ontinues throughout: the real w orld versus the theatre of that world,, unblinking reality as the ground for a comic abstract of that reality. It's dangerous to mix modes like that, unless you are able, as Chaplin is, to make each instantly �redible and supportive of the · other. Then· in he comes, dancing along with a pack on his back.

But the bear disappears into a cave just before Charlie turns around. We know the danger he has escaped; he do es not. This is n ot only funnier, it is also serious; it exemplifies one

Who, we are. forced to wonder, is the Tramp?' o f the Tramp's qualities-inno cence, and an unwitting faith in the power o f that innocence. Later, when he and Big Jim, another prospector, are trapped and starving in the cabin, Big Jim, delirious with hunger, imagines that Charlie is a gigantic chicken. {Big Jim is played by Mack Swain, a fat and· endearing figure in early Chaplin films.) The hallucination is funny, but Chaplin says he got -the idea• from the tragic story o f the Donner party, the emigrants who were snowbound in the Sierra Nevadas in the winter o f 1846 and res orted to cannibalism.

On this odd p oint Chaplin himself wrote: "In the creation o f co medy,it is paradoxical that tragedy stimulates the spirit of ridicule, because ridicule, I suppose, is an attitude of defiance: we must laugh in the face of our helplessness against the forces of nature- or go insane." Fr o m the Donner story:, too, he · elaborated the fam ous sequence of the boiled shoe. (Some members of the starving D o n ner party roasted and ate their moccasins.) Charlie and Big Jim are so famished that they eat a shoe-the Tramp's, o f course. Charlie boils and serves it, and the humor comes no t only from what they are eating, but from the way they eat it. A lesser co mic inventor might have gotten laughs by having the two men grimace in disgust as they forced themselves to chaw. But, as in the bear incident, Chaplin raises the scene to a higher p ower, making it funnier by means o f po etic imaginatio n. Big Jim is jeal o us because the Tramp has the bigger piece o f shoe, and switches plates. Then the Tramp twirls the shoelaces o n his fork lile spaghetti, sucking each nail as if it were a tasty bone. The consolations of fantasy have rarely gone further. The harmonics of the picture-light tone against dark, light tone arising out of dark and vice versa-are enriched by the Tramp's first entrance into the boom-town dance hall. Chaplin, the director, avoids · the c onventional sequence: showing us the bustling saloon, then showing us the Tramp l ooking <:1t it-loo king at the camera, in fact.

He shoots past the ·Tramp, from behind, to the saloon interior. Charlie is in outline; the brightness is beyond him. He watches from the edge, and we watch from an edge eveil' farther behind him. Yet because we see the Tramp from slightly below eye level, there is something strong , almost heroic, in his p ath os, and simultaneously, there is something comic in his silhouette. It is the classic, quintessential Chaplin shot. Both pathos and comedy are heightened in the next moments. A man comes and stand� behind Charlie, unseen by him. At the bar, the barkee·p says (if we watch his mouth closely), to Georgia, a dance-hall girl, ;(There's Charlie.'' She turns and says, "Charlie," smiles, and comes toward Chaplin. He's mystified but happy-until she goes right past him to greet the man behind him. Chaplin had used this 1dea of mtstaken greetings before, notably in a two-reeler called "The Cure," but only to be funny. Here it is funny, but it also crystallizes another matter: the moment of his falling in love despite his forlorn condition. Georgia is played by Georgia Hale. .tier performance here' is perfect-she supplies exactly the right qualities of sauciness, sex, and tenderness. This dance-hall girl is a prostitute; what else could she possibly be? (One of her friends at the dance hall is. a beefy, older woman, with the look of the traditional madam.) Nothing is done or said to explicate this; it is simply there for those who can see it, and it deepens the film. The point of this subtext is not merely to slip innuendo past the censor. It provides, for those- able· to see it, a further stratum of reality for the comedy and, since the Tramp never recognizes what Georgia is, furthe1 proof of hls armor of innocence. At a later encounter, Charlie invites Georgia and the other girls to NewYear's Eve dinner in his cabin. They accept, without intending to come. On that evening, Charlie sets the table elaborately and prepares a big meal, then sits down to wait-and wait and wait. At last he nods off at the table _and dreams that they have come. In one of the most celebrated moments in, all Chaplin films Charlie dreams he is entertaining the adoring girls by doing the Oceana Roll. Sitting at the table, he sticks two folks intq two sabot-shaped rolls, then kicks and jigs them as if they were his legs and he were doing a chorus-girl dance. Every time I see this sequence coming, I think, "I know every move he's going to make. He can't possibly make me· laugh again." And every time he does. One reason is that he doesn't merely kick his fork· '_'legs," he uses his whole body behind the _ fo rk_s, employing utter concentration in miniature reproduction of a chorus girl's performance. And, typical of the picture's harmonics, this hilarious pantomime occurs in a dream into which the Tramp has fallen because he has been tricked and disappointed. I describe one more scene in "The Gold Rush" as an example of Chaplin's comic invention, though it is hard to limit one's self. When Charlie and Big Jim wake up in the lonely cabin to which they have returned, they don't realize. that during the night the-cabin was blown to a new location - the very edge of a cliff. They can't see out the frost-covered windows. As the cabin begins to shift on the precipice, Charlie decides to have a look at

·'It's a Long Way to :the Kitchen ! / By John M. McNeel Winter Study, a time of less academic pressure and fewer burdensome homework assignments for many students. on the Hill, also means less work for another integral part of the college community-the kitchen staffs. "We're a lot less busy this month than during the usual semesters/' said McEwen cook Anthony Grasso last w eek. "This is a grace period for us." It was 5 p.m. in the McEwen kitchen and preparations for the evening meal ·were ahnost completed. In a large steam kettle (which is a bit like a cauldron), five gallons of beef stew bubbled and gurgled. In another part of the room, several trays of ham steaks, garnished with pineapple slices, were being heated in banks of horizontal ovens. Tony, as he is known by the kitchen staff, had 350 entree portions ready to serve for the 5:30 p.m. dining hall opening. Depending on demand for the dishes, he would prepare perhaps 100 m_ore portions before 7 :00 p.m. Next month, when all Hamilton and Kirkland students have returned to the campuses, Tony and the rest of the kitchen staff might have to prepare 600 .,ervin� per dinner meal. With the- reduced Winter Study work load, the atmosphere in the McEwen kitchen is calm aqd easygoing: There are no hectic, last-minute preparations for the impending onslaught of hungry students.

Samuel Hopkins Adams '91 authored over thirty-nine books, of which his "Grandfather's Stories" (dedicated to Hamilton - College) is perhaps the best known.

He was a constant booster of the' Hamilton College Choir; he helped young actors get their first auditions, and he assisted several young artists through. college. At his death, Woollcott was hailed by-friend and enemy alike as the greatest critic of the century; he brought pungent wit, acerbic comment, and uncommon honesty to his job. Another honest writer was Ezra Pound, the great-if troubled-mind !hat came to Hamilton in 1904, co graduate with the class of HOS. A rc hibald M acLeish said or' Pound: "He was the . first of the American poets justly called modern; he was the great dismantler, the great wrecker of brownstone fronts and imitation Gothic · stations. He was a wrecker to whom not merely the· politely dead poetry of the . generation .. . but the whole world which accepted that poetry was an obsolescence . . .calling for the crow bar and the sledge." Yet he was a creator as well, and if his poetry was sometimes erratic, there was enough genius in him to excuse his faults.· P ound only published one poem at Hamilton, in the 1905 Hamilton Literary Magazine. It W3;S entitled "Belangal Alba" ' and was supposed to be a translation of a 10th-century manuscript. Pound published his first collection of poems in Italy, from where he corresponded frequentfy with several Hamilton alumni. His letters are disjointed, but.meaningful; he seems to see himself as a prophet, whose voice is disregarded at the hearer's peril. In 1936, he wrote this about the quality of news: "Only an ideal, or a sense of mission of some kind causes men to write for no, or low, pay. You don't or shouldn't want foreign news sifted through what British Secret Service or some oil company thinks the 'Americ/peepul' ought to knowo That rules out a number of snappy well-connected correspondents." Literary life at Hamilton was given new impetus with the arrival of Professor Percy Saunders of the Chemistry Department-who aiso played violin. The Saund�rs homestead became the arti stic center of. the community, with frequent concerts given in the Music Room, and guests such as James Age� and Thornton Wilder stopped over frequently.

line in his play "Our' Town". Wilder's brother, ¾nos, taught at Hamilton for four years, and composed reams of poetry about the Hill. The comparative notation of the Hill turned students to the Saunders' mecca of literature and the arts; and, as Professor Todd '33 recalls, if you were accepted at the Saunders! you were in. Now, by the l 930's, the curriculum had changed to "pure liberal arts"; the emphasis on the classics w-a,s declining, while speech and elegant writing dominated.

Jo nes, marveled at the improvement shown by each new generation of writers; sensitive skillful prose was the watchword. Yet, radical change was soon to come.

Hockey Team Skating to Top of, Divis�on II By STEVE HAWEELI

A mature . and confident Hamilton College hockey team is tearing up Division IT this season. A slow start due. to a lack of ice almost resulted in a season opening loss to Oswego State whom the Continentals embarrassed last Saturday by a score of 9-4. Over vacation, Hamilton swept the Elmira Tournament easily, but lost the N i c h o l s T o u r n a m e n t. Middlebury ou,tscored the Conts 5-2, and Bowdoin outskated them 6-3. However, the new y e a r h a s b r o u g h t t he Continentals four straight wins, as well as a winning attitude, something that a couple of other sports on the hill could use. The University of Buffalo was the first Winter Study ·opponent, and the fans went wild in the overtime thriller. Sophomore Tom Griffith, last week's ECAC player of the week, flicked in a backhander at 5 :48 in the ten minute overtime period to give Ham ilton a 4-3 v i cto ry. Hamilton's third goal was a beauty as co-captain Rick Aubry skated in on the right wing, eluded a defenseman, and fired a six foot slap shot by Bull goaltender Johnny Moore. °The snow and dreariness of Manchester, New Hampshire was the setting for perhaps the most exciting game this year, against th e St. Ans elm ' s Hawks. Hamilton won the game 7-6, but n o t without k eeping the outcome of the game in suspense until the final buzzer sounded. Tied l-1 after the first period, both teams erupted for four

goals. Keith O'Brien. '77, and Kurt ._ Ziemendorf '77 tallied once, and George Gillmore '77 scored twice for Hamilton: In that period, St. Anselm's scored first to give them the. lead, 2-1. Then O'l3rien and Gillmore scored goals 14 seconds apart. After a six-minute scoring respite, Anselm's scored two goals within two minutes tc:; regain the lead. George Gillmore only 1 :08 remaining to play.

The complaint against the college, dated Dec: 30 and filed in New Yor k State Supreme Court, Oneida County, was made by Brian L Seelow, 8 West Park Row, Clinton, N.Y. Seelow contended in the summons served to the college that The Spectator published material about him which "was false and defamatory.'' He further contended, "That at the time

of such publication, defendant knew or could have ascertained with the exercise of reasonable care that the matter of and concerning the plaintiff was untrue.

Seelow is seeking $ I million for �lleged injury, damage to his credit and reputation, and endurance of great pain and mental anguish. He is seeking an additional $3 million in punitive damages, together with

the cost and disbursements of his action. Hamilton Provost Eugene Lewis declin.ed to comment 'about the matter, saying that he would not do so because the case was before the courts.

The Spectator has taken out of public circulation until further notice all undistributed copies of the Sept. 7 issue in which the allegedly libelous material appeared.

Coordination

The recent formulation of the joint Hamilton and Kirkland biology· program is proof that academic coordination between the colleges can be achieved when need be. After a concerted effort was made by Kirkland Dean of Academic Affairs Catherine Frazer and, Hamilton Acting Dean of the College Dwight N. Lindley, along with the biology faculty of poth schools, a program was devised which will enable an expansion of the offerings and a general enrichment of the science curriculum here. More upper level courses will ·be offered as well as more courses fp� the non-major. Clearly, such an academic marriage generally is to be avoided, lest the faculty and curriculum of both colleges meige, thus· destroying each college's identity. Still, there was a need at Kirkland to _expand its offerings in science --and it was generally recognized that mere duplication of Hamilton's courses. would have added little to the total science program here. And because the teaching of sciences involves the use of expensive facilities, it would have been :impossible, and foolhardy, for each college to maintain independent biology programs. This week's announcement of the program is encm.m�ging and it is hoped that the coordinate teaching of biology here proceeds smoothly.

'W·e--·were Always Thirsty In Leningrad', By POOKIE ADAMS With Winter Study only a week behind us and the Committee on Academic Policy once again considering the fate of our three week respite, it seems a good time to inform the 1500 of you who were not able to make the trip just exactly what out journey to the Soviet Union was like. Russia is a country of contradictions. It is huge and empty, yet the cities are crowded. It is rich and powerful, yet airport bathrooms lack toilet seats. It is one of t:}le most technically advanced countries in the world; yet it is culturally anachronistic. It is fascinating, beautiful, magnificent, and frustrating. We were always_ thisty in Leningrad. We had been warned not to drink the water because it contained a parasite which p r o duced a d i s e a s e with dysentery-like symptoms. We were served

.Come Saturday Morning mineral water, warm, flat beer, and bug (i.e. parasite) juice. We brushed our teeth with vodka, gin, and mineral water. Although it is n o t o fficially acknowledged, there is a tremendous alcoholism problem in the U.S.S.R., and, for that reason, and possibly also because the government hopes to discourage people from congregating, bars close by eleven. We spent many hours searching fruitlessly for a place where we could have a few drinks, listen to music, and meet Russians. We usually ended by buying a few bottles of vodka, sitting in a hotel room, and singing Beatles songs (much to the delight of the K.G.B., I'm sure). American and English songs are the most popular music in Russia. Everywhere we went we heard "Strangers in the Night." The young people we met almost always asked if we liked Deep Purp le;'"and they w ould gladly have paid thirty rubles for a Beatles album. A s u r p r isingly large n umber of Russians sp eak English. "Chewing gum," "change money," and "black market" were the words we heard mo st often. A stick of gum .can be traded for a small metal· pin hon oring anything from Lenin ot the International Diamon d Exhibition.

Taking Action

especially since the meeting . coincided with the Hamilton-Colgate hockey game. I was pleased that we stuck to the topics, managed to stay away from personal grievances and formed subcommittees with During my years at Kirkland I'v_e seen a centralized coordinator (Karen Harris many committees come and go.

Most known students who, in the beginning if importantly, we left the meeting with a each semester worked enthusiastically; positive feeling, knowing that if we took hoping to make some of the· changes that action on any of the four items on qur Kirkland desperately needs.

By EMILY SIMON (This comment is in response to the Kirkland General Student Caucus that was held in t�e Red Pit on Tue.sday, Feb. 4.)

The Americanskis are always recognizable because they are the only people who wear these pins. There is a general fascination in Russia not only with American material goods but also with the American culture, and many Russians study English in scho�l. They are delighted to talk to Americans so they can practice their English. The metal buttons are not the only items which differentiated us from the Russians. We were notable for our brightly colored clothes, our overall slimness, and our good manners. The clothes there, for the most part, are shoddy and expensive. Almost all · the men, and many of the women, wear dark coats and (beautiful) fur hats. Younger women still wear micro mini skirts and too much make up. They have a tendency to have figures shaped something like a boiled potatoe, which is riot surprising considering the amount of bread and potatoes they eat and the fact that they have three four-course meals a day. The Russians could give New Yorkers lessons in shoving. They never eait patiently ( except to visit Lenin's tomb), even when there is almost no line. With only one car per hundred peo ple (compared to almost fifty here), the P eople '.s transportation problems are alleviated by · an extraordinary mass transportation system. The metro provides inexpensive, fast, and efficient service.· While the bus and trolley lines are not nearly as well planned or clearly defined, this relults in only a very slight traffic problem since almost the only other· vehicles on the road are taxis. Most travelers to the Soviet Union develop a love-hate relationship with the country, and we were no exception. We were appalled, enthralled, amazed, and frustrated by turns. All m all it is a cowitry tliat must be seen to be believed.

Interim Report: Kirkland's Human Rights Commission

So far this year the Commission has made a cautious but significant attempt at implementing Kirkland's Affirmative Action Program. As an initial step, the Commission defined its role and function for the next two years. According to the Oct. 2 1, 1974 statement, the Commission is responsible to the President and the College Community for the implementation of all Affirmative Action Programs. This ranges from developing affirmative action auidelines to acting as consultant to college recruitment units. Disseminating information and making the community aware of affirmative action goals, procedures and ideals is one of the C:ommission's most essential functions. -Consequently, on Oct. 21, 1974, the Commission published and distributed an affirmative action packet which included President Babbitt's Notice and Why wait until you have -graduated Affirmative Action Procedures for Hiring.

The additional personnel to be hired will make possible a ' greater variety of courses than now is available, said Chiquione. However, there will be changes in the curriculum organization from what is presently in effect at Hamilton. Requirement Changes According to Chiquoine, the requirements for a biology major ares going to be changed. At present, a biology concentration at Hamilton requires eight biology courses, four of chemistry, and two of physics. This will be reduced to eight courses in biology, m a king poss-ible a . co ncentration in biology for people without pre-professional plans. "There is absolutely no sense in majoring in biology without chemistry and physics. If you want to go on, you must have it," said Chiquoine. But he added th'i1 t the reduced requirement does make possible a greater freedom of choice for the students. "Biology does not have to be pre-professional," he said. "It could just be wh_i!.t you happen to be doing y9ur undergradu.tte studies in." "The major responsibility of teaching will still be at the pr e-pr'o fessi onal level," said George.

Hamilton's fledgling artists. Though the refined and mild-mannered Mr. Root loved · the work of Luks, he often remarked that he was unsure of the influence the garrulous, hard-drinking artist had on his pupils. Mrs. Root took a keen interest in her husband's art collection and had her own favorites such as Morris Graves and Mark T o bey. She too aided the artists, introducing them to influential patrons such as Mrs. John D. Rockefeller and others. Enjoyed Woolf Mr. and Mrs. Trovato, who have overseen many of the Root bequests to t he Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute, remark that it was difficult to differentiate between the works of MT. and Mrs. Root because their efforts were . always in unison. Unburdened by college education, Mrs. Root had an open, poetic vision of the world and read voraciously to learn more about it. She and Miss Saunders' mother 1 would frequently sit on blankets reading and discussing literature in an orchard where the golf course now abuts Griffin Road. Among her favorite authors were Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield. Later "she enjoyed Proust as we all did then," related Miss Saunders. Anti-Prohibition Though drawn to the contemplative life, she always,had active projects such as her spirited drive against prohibition. Miss Saunders recalled how she and several other women w horn Mrs. Root enlisted went to Washington for an interview with . Representative Davenport, who happened to live down the street in the house where President Carovano now lives. Later Mrs. Root wrote a book on the history of the movement, entitled "Women in Repeal." After her husband's death in 1956, Mrs. Root followed through on many of their projects. Both she and her husband cherished nature and were talented horticulturists.She continued to see to the upkeep of Root Glen even after gardeners had been hired to care for it. The glen, which began as a trash heap almost 100 years ago, fostered many rare and beautiful wild . flowers and many happy hours for the Roots. In earlier years she could be seen hard at work in a loosely fitting, raggedy pair of denim pants with similarly thread-bare coat. She loved to tell of unsuspecting guests who would ask her how the Roots treated their help She also enjoyed Sunday luncheons on the lawn near the art center which bore her husband's name. She brought together

In 1962, Mrs. Root turned over the Glen .named f9r her family to Hamilton. Until two years ago, she headed the Root Glen Foundation, and could be seen working in the gardens of the 2-acre glen.

Master Hitchcock Directs Spy ThriUer

BY PETER SOMMER "Notorious" is a superior spy movie, made with superb slickness. It is expertly cast and is a happy example of what Alfred Hitchcock can do when he is really bearing down. The Second World War was over, but in cert ain South A m e r i c a n c a pitals, determined Nazfa were still plotting and spying. However this state of affairs may have affected U.S. security, 'it was a blessing to fans of Alfred Hitchcock, who is always at his best with spies. The thriller-expert takes his time about uncorking his thrills. Moving at a casual, almost leisurely pace, he waits until he has his audience in a hard, tight grip. Then he runs away with them. -Ben Hecht has written some interesting dialogue even though the story itself is exceedingly melodramatic, verging at times on the stuff of pulp fiction. Hecht has made the commonest of spy stories for the talents of Miss Bergman, Mr,. Grant, and .Mr. Hitchcock. It is the quintessential spy story, the regular one. Uianium Monkey-Business Miss Bergman, as Alicia Huberman, the d aughter of a convicted traitor but inwardly a patriotic American, joins up with Grant, playing Devlin, an American Secret Service agent, to uncover a nasty hive of postwar Nazis in a revived Farbenindustrie in Rio de Janeiro. The Germans are secretly engaged, not unexpectedly, in your basic uranium monkey-business. Miss Bergman must make an alliance, extravagantly leading to actual marriage, with the head man of the Germans;' played by Claude Rains, thus causing considerable distress to Grant, who has been kissed at great �ength by Miss Bergman. Hitchcock and Hecht have made room t h e fo r o t h e r s b e s i d e s Bergman-Gr a n t- R a i n s c o m b i n a tion. Madaine Konstantin, a Viennese actress, is sharp l y SlDISter, in the Hitchcock tradition, a s t h e i m pe r i ous and needle-point-working of one of the plotters. Louis Calhem plays the chief American agent . suavely and quite properly unsinister. One would think that the use of the subjective camera-that is, making the camera one of the characters-would for many years have been as basic a cinematic device as the closeup, but few directors tried it before 1946. Hitchcock is nearly

the only man. I can think of who knew just when and how to use the camera in this fashion. He is equally resourceful in his m an u f ac t u r e o f e x p r e s s ive Ji t tle air-pockets of dead silence. Domestic Psychologist Hitchcock has always been a� good at domestic psychology as at thrillers. He makes a moment in a party, or a lovers' quarrel, or a mere interior, shrewdly exciting in ways that few are able. He has a strong sense of the importance of the real place and the real atmosphere: the shot s of Rio de Janiero, or the late-afternoon l ove scene, equally remarkable in its special emotion_ and the grandeur of excitement it gets away with, and in the amount these depend on in communicating the exact place, weather, and time of day. There is perhaps no telling how much of all this is due to Ben Hecht's screenplay; but it seems safe to credit a good deal pf the sharpest movie sense, and a cool kind of -insight and control which sug gests a good French no velist, to Hitchcock. The Hitchcock suspense tricks dot the film. Some of them are tran-sparent, such as the business of focusing a little too frequently on a cup of poisoned coffee. But, all the tricks together add up to an exciting, welcome break in the strong of dollar-and-cents-o-rama, infernal, mediocre thrillers we've been .getting lately.

Five! Do I Heat' Ten? Sold! To the Man zn Black

By HENRY GLICK In these days of tight money and rising prices, auctions can be one way to stretch the consumer dollar. What's more, you can become involved in a fascinating and rewarding pastime: collecting antiques. In fact, auctions can become addicting. The caller sings out prices and your desired purchase always seems to be only one bid away. You come back week after week just for that feeling of attainment you get when you've made a good buy_ But auctions. can he hazardous too. Both the novice and the pro must develop a careful eye. Examine th.e item beforehand, and decide in advance the most you are willing to pay for it. Once carried away by the excitement of thes auction. you may bid nnre than you really want to spend, and you may pay more than the item is w orth. A picture, a set of dishes, a stuffed ow 1: the bidding starts at $3.00. You bid $4.00. The fat woman with the floppy hat behind you bids $5.00 You bid $6.00. Before you know it, the bid is $12 and the auctioneer and the rest of the audience are looking at you waiting for your next bid. The auctioneer lures you, urges you, hounds you, until you've bid $13.00 and it's yours. And w hat had started out as a good buy isn't such a windfall purchase after all. There are about 50 auctions a month in the Utica area. Leo B u s k ey, a nationally known antique appraiser based in Utica, s a id that kitchen ware and household goods are the main staples at these auctions, and antiques are only thrown in as bait. But no matter what is sold, the consumer/collector can have a good day at an auction_ Buskey

said that there is a growing trend a mong non-dealers to attend auctions; now only about 30 per cent of those who come to auctions are dealers. Melvin Mariot, an auctioneer, said many people go to auctions now to find bargains. Dealers are coming, but they aren't buying, he said_ At one auction, a dealer who usually buys a truckload of items only bought three pieces, and eight or nine dealers didn't buy a thing.

A rtumber of boxes filled with who k n ow s what sold for from anywhere between $1 and $3. A tin filled with hundreds of buttons went for $.50. A dining room table and four chairs sold for $20. A sofa and two chairs of questionable quality, but certainly still useable, sold for $1.00. The auctioneer asked_ what anyone was willing to give for them. When

some one made the dollar bid he told the person to get the sofa and chairs out of there. But some auctions sell a large number of antiques. And they are not always inexpensive. 'B en N owakowski holds a uc t ions irregularly at Ben's A u c t i o n H o use, his l a r g e <c· ""'.a.rehouse-style headquarters in Westmoreland. He probably sells at least as many antiques as he does household goods. And some of the antiques are of high quality and demand good prices. Ben, as he likes to be called, sold a signed dated oil lamp for $115 and a shawl for $35. Dorothy and Merlyn Stiles , two collectors who attend Ben's auctions so often that Ben thinks they're dealers, said that ''the cost of the good stuff is staying high." Good glass is really expensive because it is getting scarce, they said. In Madison, too, there are s o m e q uality auctions. One specializes in furniture that has been slightly touched-up and is ready to be used in the home. T h i s a uction attracts both homeowners and dealers from near and far.

auctione�rs also spice up their sales pitch by insisting that a piece is "a little different." · To one auctioneer in Madision, every item was a little different. S i nce pro's usually know whether or not a piece is a little different, this- bit of salesmanship is usually for the novice at an auction. It's not that anyone is lying; the "difference" line is more to ]ll.ake a pi"'ece seem attractive than to imply that it is truly valu_able.

heated and dry. They can be very comfortable on a gray day when there is nothing more exciting to do. A few auction houses provide a list- of the items to be auctioned that day. This helps you keep track of what you want to buy you can estimate when it will come up for sale - and record the bids for each item. The diligent auction-goer can review these over a period and get a general idea of the price certain items usually bring. One drawback to such auctions is that it .is harder for you to request that a certain piece be auctioned next, because the auction house will usually want to auction their merchandise in th� order listed. Some auctions provide free coffee, and most have food to sell. Again, the auction ad will usually tell you about the auction food. Many times auctions are so _long that you'll want some kind of ren:_eshment, and if you want you can bring your own and eat there. But having cautioned you about everything, the l�st piece of advice is to enjoy yourself. Auctions are the home.of country spun humor, friendly people and good times. It's true that fortunes can be made or lost. However, the beginner who has any self-control will usually have a good time, pick s o m e i nteresting conversatio n pieces, and learn something. A II you have to do is remember Ben Nowakowski's golden rule, "The trash of one generation becomes the treasures of another."

Sociology 'SUtVey S.hoWs· . Upperclassmen Sentiment �

By SUSAN HUNTINGTON Pr elimi nary results of a student survey distributed to juniors and seniors at both colleges last fall apparently support widely-held beliefs about life on the Hill but include a few surprising conclusions as well. The survey, conducted by Assistap.t Professor of Sociology Walter B r oughton and his Sociology 400 class, include a wi d e r a nge o f q uestions concer ning social, academic , p sycho logica l , a·nd s e x u a l attitudes among the elder half of the Hill's student population. Students participating in the project, were Kathryn Grover, Janet Perloff, Melanie Oliverio, Dusty Batley , and Timothy Carter. A l t ho u g h niost o f t h e quest ions r e c eived s i m i la r responses from both colleges, there were a few exceptions. One of t h e s e p e r t a i n e d t o cross-registration between the two schools. Forty-six per cent of , Kirkland juniors and seniors had taken eight- or more courses at Hamilton, whereas only 15 per cent of Hamilton j{iniors and seniors had taken as many courses at Kirkland. Although this seems striking at first, one must realize, said Broughton, that Hamilton offers more courses than Kirkland. Liberal students On the political side, over 65 per cent considered themselves lib era ls, a ssigning themselves ratings of five, six, or seven on a scale of one to seven with one the most conservative and seven the most liberal. Less than 20 per cent of the students expressed unhappiness with the quality of instruction in

<;

their field of concentration. Slightly more dissatisfaction �urfaced concerning the social life, but about 70 per cent of all the students were basically happy in this respect. • When asked if they anticipated j o b d i s c r i m i n a tion af ter graduation, the majority replied that it was difficult to say.

qualities · which they thought would be most desirable in future members of the student body. H a m i l ton students ranked creativity first and rationality second. K i r ktand s t u d ents, however, ranked self-motivation f i r s t a n d c r eativity second. Rationality, highly esteemed at Hamilton, came in a low seventh at Kirkland, while self-motivation, Kirkland's number one choice·, came in only fifth at Hamilton. According to Broughton, these diversities basically reflect the different percentages of science and social science concentrators as opposed to humanities and arts concentrators at each college. ·For example, he stated, it is usually true that rationality is d ee med highly desirable by science concentrators and fairly d esirable by s o cial science ,concentrators, but somewhat less d e s i r a b l e b y h umanities concentrators and not necessarily desirable by arts concentrators at all.

Without New .York You're Nothing

FEINGOLD AND SHOEN "... without New York you're nothing." -anonymous 11/74 When Peter Miniet bought Manhattan, little did he know that his island would someday become the ·:2.pital of professional sports. Every major sport in America must be represented in New York to mrvive financially. When the American Football League was created, the first worry of its founders was to establish a team in New York. Even before NBC was into the AFL, the AFL was in NYC. The Gotham mystique not only draws the sports themselves, ·but some of the top talents in sports today display their skills with New York written across their chests. And those who don't .want to.

******

The stars want to play in Ncw York for the same reason that the leagues want a team or two in the city - money. When Jim Hunter signed with the Yankees, he sai<l'he always wanted to do a dog food commercial. The tal�,along Madison Avenue is that he's doing one now. The same superstar in Oakland with the same 88 wins in four years was never asked to make one when he led the A's to three straight world championships. And Hunter isn't the only example. New York caught the eye of Joe Namath, Julius Erving, and, as if to pay tribute to the greatness of New York sports, Pope Paul VI said his only American mass in that stage for the stars, Yankee Stadium. But it isn't only the money that draws these stars. New York offers a star more notoriety, publicity, and adulation than any other city in the land. The debate about who was the best, Mantle or Mays probably only included Mantle and Mays. because a man named Aaron was playing in a city whose beer was more famous than its baseball.

But there are more sports than baseball. The greatest fights of the century were held in New York City's arenas. Yankee Stadium played host to what is considered the greatest professional football game of all time. New York has OTB, Aqueduct, Yonkers, and Roosevelt race tracks. It also has Belmont Park which holds, annually, one of the most prestigiQUS ra:ces - the Belmont Stakes, the last and most difficult leg of the triple crown of horse racing. The list continues: the Millrose Games, ECAC hockey and basketball tournaments, the National Invitational Tournament, the best pro wrestlers (who bring in 22,000 fans each match), and you can go on. As long as the best compete for money and pride, they will compete, sooner or later, in New York. * * **** But sports isn't just the people or the places where they compete. It's also an attitude. An attitude that's conveyed by the sportswriters. New York's sportswriters are probably the most widely read writers in this sports conscious nation. These men have become as legendary as the players they covered - Damon Runyon, Grantland Rice, Ring Lardner, Arthur Daley were all greats in the field of journalism. They have reported the great sporting events of the past, so that you can vividly recall them even if they occurred before you were born.

Please ·Take Notice · The fans at The Sage Rink have always been second to none. Yet at a recent hockey game some of these same fantastic fans were throwing cigarettes, programs and other paraphernalia on the ice. This jeopardizes the safety of the Hamilton skaters as well as the opposing J?layers. Encountering a program lying on the ice when one is skating is like encountering a Mack truck in a Volkswagen. So please, fans, refrain from throwing foreign objects on the ice.

Stu dents blam e Hamilton's com paYati v eiy l ow rate of acceptance by medical schools on stringent grading standards and the refusal to inflate grades here, as w�ll as the college's failure to build a reputation among medical schools. · Some pre-meds said that if they had had a r eali stic perspective on the medical school situation for. Hamilton graduates before they matriculated, they would have . gone to c_ollege els e w here, and one pre-med accused the Admissions Office of

d e c e i v i ng a n d m i s l e a d i n g pre-freshmen this year. Others said that pre-med advisor · and Associate Dean Robin Kinne! was unable to invest the appropriate amount of time into pre-med advision. Seventeen Hamilton students have applied to medical school this year, which is nearly half the. number of applicants of' a year ago. Five of the 17 have been accepted .thus far, and 15 have been invit,eq for at least - one interview. Kinnel said this week that he expects that "no more than five more will get in."

"Without a doubt, Hamilton's g r a d i ng s tanda r ds h a ve appreciably ,h,urt us," said Roger Schneider '7 5, a pre-med, who is chairman of the , Curriculum Committee.

"It's qui t e obvious that Hamilton is way behind the times in t his r eg ar d ," c ontinues Schneider. "Although I do not approve of rampant _inflation because the credibility of tj-ie school and the meaning of grades are at stake - Hamilton can no longer hide in its own little world and expect the rest of academia to realize that its grades stand for quality while no one else's do." Grades "Gr�des are the only reason ,-vhy I;Iami!ton does so poorly i..."l comparison to schools of similar quality/' said Gienn Perels�n,. who is one of the five students already accepted by . a medical school this year. Hamilton's poor competitive rating with respect to grades and s u c c e s s in m e di c a l s chool placement is exemplified by comparison to Amherst College, where nearly 85 per cent of its a p p licants were accepted by medical schools last year.

By VINCENT L. DiCARLO

The apparent failure 0f Ilamiltq.,n pre-medi<;�l st�<!�-n�s , to achieve a rate of acceptance to medic-di schools _· · comparable to those of colleges similar to Hamilton, such as Amherst, Williams, and Union, is of considerable concern to those involved in the pre-medical program here. The comparatively poor overall showing. of Hamilton . 4-..,: t t semors w hO have students is particular1Y imporWln medical school for attending of goal the · worked towards over three years. The&e men, alth9ugh apparently qualified, may not achieve admittance. AdditionaHy, the success, or lack of success,, of Hamilton students could have a striking effect on qualified prospective freshmen, who may decide to attend other colleges whose rates of acceptance are higher than Hamilton's. Yet if one dismisses the simplistic solution that grades be inflated across-the-board, there seems to be no· easy remedy to the problem of pre-medical admissions. With fears of repeating the obvious, however, it appears that the solution lies in the slow, painstaking process of improving the c�llege's reputation among medical schools. Although Associate Dean and pre-medical advisor Robin Kinnel has said that this is what he has been doing all along, it seems as though it would be in the college's best interest if it concentrated those efforts. With the volume of pre-med applications skyrocketing · · · nationally as students frantica11Y search for adm1Ssion, review of applications at medical schools has become increasingly mechanical. This has precluded special attention to Hamilton applicants, whose comparatively low grades must be re-interpreted favorably if these · students are to compete. Medical school officers at a select number of schools . could be informed of Hamilton's grading and science program. At least at those Sfhools, Hamilton students would be afforded instant recognition, instead of instant rejection. However, such a strong rapport can only be developed with a few schools, considering Hamilton's resources. In light of the fact that the college's reputation­ is strongest inNew York State, and that it woul4 be easiest' for a pre-med advisor to visit schools in this part of the country, Hamilton should concentrate. its efforts on developing contacts with local medical schools. Students. have charged that Dean Kinnel, d_espite his efforts, has not invested .the amount of time needed to foster the type of rapport with medical schools that is needed. Although Dean Kinnel has denied - that his workload is too great, it may be advisable for the college to -select another professor who could invest more time anel ei:iergy into the job, albeit still·a part-time position. Clearly, as both a professor and dean, Kinnel is unable to do as much traveling as is necessary. The college was cited as the most selective in New York State, and thus should be able to carry this·reputation into the committee room of medical school admissions offices. If increased communication and public relations fail or have failed already, even in a concerted effort, then it may indeed be the case that Hamilton can no longer honestly describe itself as both a liberal arts college and as a reliable avenue to medical schools. Clearly, in such a case, prospective pre-medical students should be told that H amilton is a liberal arts college first, . and a pre-professional school second. Thus, it would end the perpetuation of an ill-founded myth which has led to the disappointment of many Hamilton students.

arrogance on the part of the physical plant office, inexcusable callousness on the· part of the administration, and bovine docility on the part of the students, has allowed this entirely gratuitous annoyance to persist? It's· -00 wonder that civility is absent given such uncivilize'd surroundings. For this particular insu,lt we dorr't even have the luxury of blaming Service Systems {"it's those damn· profiteers").

All the sincere· protestations of good will in the country can't rebut the clear evidence of the senses. If Hamilton college wishes to recapture what it may have had of the dignity of a civilized community, the administration must begin to recognize that it cannot constantly irritate stude_nts by sheer indifference to their dignity as featherless bipeds. The cattle-car mentality just will not do any longer of something is not to give. Standard lighting, tasteful paint-jobs, and clean Bathrooms are minor things, right? Bullshit._ Clean up your act, guys, and give"lls a break.

B.F. Skinner '26, the behavioral psychologist, is one of Hamilton's more noted alumni and perhaps the most famous person lecturing on the Hill this semester. He has not released the title of his talk March 4, but said that it will be a new departure -in the,field of ethics and ethical behavior. It will be a reduced version of a lecture he is to· •give at Reed University the next day, and part of a series· of lectures eventually to be compiled into a -new book. Some of Skinner's previous publications include "Walden Two," "The Science of Human Behavior," and. "Beyond Freedom and Dignity. The last two in the Root-Jessup series will be James Kilpatrick, columnist and author of several works on the problems and politics of the South, and Thomas Eagleton, the senator from Missouri who_ came into national prominance two years ago when his nomination for the vice-p�esidency under George McGovern was ,.."contested on the ·_grounds of past experience with psychological treatment. Hamilton will hold a symposium April 25 and 26 on "Language and Behavior" in which some four or five scholars in linguistics, psychology.and psycholinguistics will be participating. The symposium has been partly funded by $2000 grant from the Beatman Foundation. The three scholars so far. selected are Peter Farb, author of "Word Play," who will serve as moderator, Jerrold J. Katz, professor of philosophy at MIT, author of "The Philosophy of Language," "Semantic Theory," and "The Underlying Reality of Language and Its Philosophical Import" and William Labov, professor of linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania,, author of "Sociolinguistic Patterns," and -'�language in the Inner City; Studies of_ the Black English Vernacular." Each speaker will deliver a paper and take part in public ,discussion. Exact dates and times for the presentations '1iave not been set. Lecturers are approved and solicited through a joint Hamilton-Kirkland Committee chaired by Professor of Speech Charles Todd. Suggestions for the college-funded lecture's are primarily submitted by faculty, although students may make suggestions indirectly to professors they know. In the past, individual students have been quite successful 4t helping attract speakers to the college through personal and family connections.

Mrs. Burns to Retire as CashierBy STEFFI KALMIN

.Back when tuition w.as $400 a semester and Hamilton was the size of Kirkland, Katherine Burns began her job as cashier in the Business Office. That was 18 years ago this month and Mrs. Burns admits she never expected to stay so long. Friday, Feb. 28, she will retire. "By the mere nature of her job, trust is the greatest attribute when dealing with large amounts of m o ne y," s a i d Ron ald Ma c Do n aid, c o ntr oller of Hamilton College. "She has done this pleasantly, e x t r e m ely effectively, and from remarks made by faculty and remaining staff, most courteously." Since 1957, u n der four pr�sidents, Mrs. Bums has handled student accounts and all money due to th� college. The most obvious change has been the 1mt1at1on of computers which eliminated the task of doing all the bookkeeping by hand. "What it amounts to is that

improve one's credentials -for applying to· ll}edical school, was expressed by Dan Cotlowitz, who said the program should offer medical and hospital internships during Winter Study as Colgate's program does. In addition, many pre-meds said the college should provide mor e c ontinuous counselling, e sp e c i a l l y w it h r e ga r d to alternative graduate programs. Second Thoughts Many pre-meds said that they enjoyed1their overall education at Hamilton but felt they would have been much better off at a different school in terms of medical 'School acceptances. "If I had to do it over" I wouldn't be here," said Cotlowitz. "I'd probably go to Albany, because I'm pretty sure I'd get higher marks." "If I were going to go to school again," said Evans, "I'd go to an Ivy League or an affiliated school with a name or with a medical graduate school, and" I could have gone to one of those." "These students know in their hearts and froin experience that had they gone to a school of similar academic quality but with more flexible grading standards, they would have gained admission to medical school,�' Schneider said. 'Sacrifice the Idyllic' ,........_ M o s t p r e- med students apparently would agree with the statement by Glenn Perelson: "Un f o r t u n a t e ly, I would sacrifice the idyllic existence on the Hill and the homestead glade and glen for something near a 4.0 average... "Hamilton is not a pre-med school, it's a liberal arts school. Large universities can afford to put a lot of money and resources aside for pre-med programs, but Hamilton can't afford to-and it really shouldn't. "Because of the way that Hamilton is set up, there's no way i t can cater to pre-medical students without sacrificing the high quality of education -"'-it provides to other students."

New 'Steaknite' Cut ·•• Well Done By JO-ANN MORT

Four years ago, a w1nter study project in original musical composition generated what has now become a common household, shall we say dormitoiy, word - "Steaknite." Fonc;lly remembered :S those once a week dining extravaganzas, the word, transformed by four . eager · musicians, now c0nnotes a· musical group, w e l l k n o w n t o t h e p r e s e n t· Hamilton-Kirkland College Community. The band, whose members are all seniors, consists of Bob Halligan on electric piano, rhythm guitar, harmonica, and vocals; Jeb Guthry on drums and vocals; Don Fram on guitar, flute, and piano; and Bob Sellinger on bass guitar. Added to this list should be Peter Regan '75, who is the band's roadie, sometimes cook and financier. All of the musicians in the band have been playing their instruments for a span of time which ranges from eight to fourteen years. In its Hamiltonian lifetime, the band has been transformed from the "Oedipus Complex," which incorporated a brass section consisting of two trumpets, a trombone, and a saxaphone; to a five-piece band plus one Scott Bennet, a Hamilton graduate. Last year, when the members were juniors, the band took on its present form, Steaknite has been playing at clubs and colleges in the area. They've played at Colgate, Syracuse, and Union, as well as a lot of area high schools. This summer the. band lived on campus and concentrated on their music.. All of the members of the band are interested in forms of music other than what would be considered rock 'n roll. Asked to comment on the types of music they listen to in their spare time, and who their musical influences are', the guys in the band deliberate and come up with the following: Halligan listens to a lot of jazz and lists his influ"ences as the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and Chick Corea. Sollinger also enjoys jazz, listing Stanley Clarke, Chick Corea's bass player as an influence'; Fram 's list inch�ded John McLaughlin, Jimi Hendrix, and Debussy. Guthry's interests are the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, but "mostly classical."

audience. When they play a club they must cater to top forty taste, but they enjoy gearing their sets to an ."-FM style", which is more acceptable �-:: college · audiences. in contrast one thinks of the Hill's experiences with big-named, high-priced musicians who dish out 110thing but noise and obnoxiousness. . Record Produced

Last Saturday Steaknite, prompted by friends, set out on an independent venture and cut a record. The band had been considering it for a while but felt that they needed that extra urging and support from friends and admirers. One of the members commented that you "need someone to tell ypu that he think§ you're. good enough." Also, considering that the members are all seniors, -the re<;:ord will serve ·as a nice momeato. There were advance record sales on campus, but the band feels that it received only fifty percent of the support it needed. There are understandable reasons, such as pe'ople'� reluctance to pay for s ome t hi n g they've not heard, but Steaknite is hoping that when the record

hours, for a little less than eight minutes of vinyl. The record is a forty•five which includes two of Halligan's songs - "Goin' to Cuba" and "C1.nderella Magic Midnite." "Cuba," whaf the group terms a "rock 'n roll boogy type," -is actually a spoof rock 'n roll song, memoralizing the days of the a more h i j a ck e r. "Ci n d e r e l la ," jazz-influenced vocal tune," according to the guys, is a very enjoyable, mellow tune. The baqd is eager to continue to play on the Hill. The members of the group are financially committed to paying jobs because of all the time, equipment, and capital whi�h has been invested in the group's total venture. The future of the band will be dictated . by the success of selling their record to a recording company. Who .. �an say what these Hamilton sel)iors will be doing next year? Whether they pursue jobs in their fields of academic study, or whether they trek out upon the road of a musical career, .. they are here now for us to enjoy.

Musical Influences

When asked to list their influences they are a bit unsure of w·hat to say, perhaps because they are reluctant to compare themselves to some of the musical greats. Betause the band believes in a lot of jamming in its .sets, as the saying goes, we are what we eat, it is fair to list a musician's musical influences just to gain perspective into their own musical directiC!_ns. It is wteresting to see where the musical material comes from, especially when one is talking about rock 'n roll, a term which has come to suggest almost anything. When arranging their sets, they try to aim for a -flexible repertoire. Their basic concern is a "tune that will go over '-"'ell on the Hill." They l!njoy playing for the people on the Hill because they feel it provides them with· their most appreciative

Art Caucus ·Created

By SUSAN MALKIN A group of about 25 Kirkland women met Wednesday to form a student caucus within the Arts D i v ision to improve com m u n i c a t i o n s a mong art students, division faculty, and the administration. Margaret Klenck and Anne Warren, organizers of the meeting, said they were trying • to form a "generative group" rather than a sounding board for complaints. The group's primary purposes; as stated in a recent memorandum to art students, are to promote more student input in the decision making and policy formation processes within the division, and to discuss common needs of women students of the arts. Students at the meeting cited the need for a cohesive group· which will represent the needs .of art students to the faculty. A sentiment often expressed was that one-to-one confrcn tations with the faculty often resulted in "the student getting her throat cut." Furthermore, students felt that they had no outlet for

individ ual complaints agah:_1st faculty members since faculty meiµbers tended either to suppo:rt one another or refuse to interfere. A n umber of students expressed concern about the fragmentation of the division. They said they feared the lack of cohesion and would like more togetherness within the division. Students also_ said the Arts Division was becoming too "arts appreciation" oriented and was becoming blended with the rest of the liberal arts education. One �tudent ,described the art co-op as a half-assed organization. Possibilities for expanding it to i n c l ude· dan ce and �t he r departments �ere discussed. Students al�o expressed the desire to create a lounge where students and faculty could meet informally. The need for more student input into the art exhibit� and concerts was a common concern of the group. They felt that. the women's role in arts was not being reflected in these exhibits.

The Committee on Academic Policy (CAP) plans to investigate the success of the pass-fail option at Hamilton to determine whether the system is fulfilling its intended purpose, according to Professor of History Edwin B. Lee, chairman of the committee. In a letter to Student · Curriculum Committee (SCC) chairman Roger Schneider earlier this month, Lee explained that his committee would be examining i:he option "with an eye to the basic idea that pas s-fail was to encourage students to broaden their education by taking work in areas. which ordinarily might seem formidable... "We should not want to continue a system which strayed very far from this purpose."

By WILLIAM HELMER

The new constitution of the Social Acti vities Committee (SAC), providing for new election procedures and more dearly de f ine d c h a n n e l s o f communication between the committee, social tax payers, and the student governments, has been ra tified by the Kirkland Assembly and will go before the Hamilton Senate Tuesday. The Assembly ratified the constitution with the stipulation that faculty members be allowed to buy social tax. The new constitution specifies that the SAC is responsible only to those who pay the $35-dollar social tax and not to the community · at large . The SAC will publish_ a monthly newsletter t o p ublicize its plans and programs to all social tax payers. Also; all SAC meetings will be open and announced in advance. The election of SAC members, fonnerly run by the Senate will now be managed b y the committee i t s elf. The new election procedures will ensure that at least six of the new members each year will have some experience with the workings of the committee. Under the new guidelines, the SAC will consist of 10 voting members. Three students from each college will be elected by social tax holders in February, and will serve on the committee as active but non-voting members through the spring semester. The voting term of the six elected in February will begin in the summer and last until the following May. Thus, between February and May, there will be 16 SAC members 10 voting members and six new, non-voting members. One Assembly representative and one senator will be appointed before October by their respective orga nizations. In September·, one student from each college will be selected by the SAC on the basis of petitions ·submitted to the committee during Activities Night. All SAC members must pay social tax, although one need not be a social tax holder to run for

Troubled Film Societies Face Newcofiler -By' Pe'ter Sommer Ernest Fung '76, has resigned as chairman of the Amenic Film Society and will form a new subscription film society. Fung said that Amenic was suffer!ng from financial problems and a very loose organizational structure. Amenic has no constitution and is n�t , chartered by the Senate. According to Fung, the society is independent of the school and could be viewed as an independent business form whose financial structure is based on a system of trust. "The legal status of the society isn't clear," he said. "A case could be made for the position that whenever we make money, we can divide the profit."

make-up of the committee: whether they , can tolerate each other or not., Fung said that Amenic's loose structure allows it to be monopolized by one or two individuals. The absence of a constitution for the society also affects the selection of films. "There is no fixed way to deal with film selection," said Fung" Last semester Fung was in charge of film selection. He called the members together to participate in the proposal-elimination process. They placed proposals in three categories-selected films, those yet to be decided upon, and those rejected. No formal vote was ever taken, but there were never any objections to the final film selection. A Pseudo-Democracy Fung said that he did make some manipulations and "pushed some [films] through.'' •�The only reason we had a pseudo-democratic process was that we had two strong personalities [ Fung and Kreiswirth] ." "As for this semester," said Fung, "I. think he [Kreiswirth] arranged everything. As far as I know, he alone made the whole schedule." However, financial and �tructural problems are not peculiar to Amenic. John Hutchinson, a projectionist for Kinokunst, said that a great deal of money was also misplaced in that society. Also, for the first three month of last semester, Kinokunst was run by Bill Pranchak, who was not enrolled at Hamilton. When the college discovered this, Pranchak was replaced by Michael Barlow, '74 the present chairma11. Fung, Becker, Hutchinson, and Terry Burke '78- are establishing the Hill's third film society which will consist of a rotating film-selection committee of four to eight individuals and a body-at-large of 100-200 subscribers. The new society will attempt to become chartered by the Senate. . The New Society The society will be a film critics group and will issue a simple publication every month. It will -offer eight films per semester. For $3-$4 one could see any or· all of the films. Membership in the society would entitle one to the society publication as well as the film discount.

the business office, we had a deficit. This is another big mess," said Fung. Suspicions He said some people suspect that this "ht.ige deficit" is due to corruption on the part of former Amenic members, who may have taken money from the society. H owe v e r , . e v e r y o n e interviewed emphasized that this was no more than a suspicion and nothing can be proven. Daniel Becker '77 said that at film showings, "It happens not infrequently' .,, that many people are told they don't have to pay." Fung added that only the person holding the money knows how much is collected. "As long as you have activities going on, the college doesn't bother you," Fung Sc!id. "If someone js asked to make a financial report, he just makes up a figure." Under the present structure, Fung · said, "honesty is the only cure." Because Amenic does not have a CO'!}Stitution, there is no established procedure for choosing new members. Last semester's four members ·wer� chosen by three different methods. Member Selection As freshmen, Barry Kreiswirth '76 and Fung were asked to submit a list of films to the members of Amenic. They were selected as members of the committee on the basis of their selections. Beth Cohen '75 who also submitted a list of films was not chosen for the committee, but is presently a member. The remammg member, Robert Dolan '78 was enlisted on Student Activities Night at Bristol. "I chose him myself,''. said Fung.· According to Fung, in the past one was chosen -as a member of the committee, "if he was a friend, or 'through some ambiguous process. Nobody knows how the members of the committee are actually chosen." "The survival of Amenic depends oii the

The society will· be run as a pa:rJicipatory democracy. All those· who wish to participate in the film selection process must aid in producing the society publication. The selection-publication committee will choose four films, �d then relinqu_ish

"The crucial point to keep in mind,'' ''We'd like to start the whole thing as said Fung, "is that we really want to soon as possible," said Becker. "The first change the nature of the film society-a step will be to introduce the real film society, one that would promote collegepopulation to what we are planning dialogue." to do."

The funds for the organ were gifts given in memory of the late.-Professor of Music at Hamilton, Berrian Rankin· Shute. Professor Ra nkin came to the college in 1926 and was the founder of the Hamilton Music Department. He died in 1961 after 35 years of seFVice to the college. The organ is of the classis style. It combines a · German classical sound with cl�sical French which makes is a very versatile instrument. In honor of the new organ a series of accomplished organists will perform during the course of the semester. The first will be Gerre Hancock, the organist and master of the choristers at the St. Thomas Church in New York, who will play February 25. Hancock, who graduated from the University of Texas and holds a Master of Sacred Music degree, will perform a mostly-Bach program and improvise on submitted themes.

Before the team left for St. L a w r e n c e l a s t S a t ur day MacDonald said "You certainly s u f f er swimming away from home," and Hamilton did, losing 67-46. Then Wednesday the Blue squad entertained Colgate in the Alumni Pool and wer-e easily handled by the Red Raiders. Hamilton was billed as the severest test of the young St. Lawrence team. The Larries have only been in the water for four years, and have a small roster listing no seniors. Coach Scott Woodburn rates Hamilton as the b est small college swimming program in New York State. The win against Hamilton tops off St. Lawrence's un beaten season record. Coach MacDonald and his swimmers were in the position to w o rry about t h e Larries,

especially considering the up and coming mismatch against Colgate. But the Conts couldn't do anything as St. Lawrence swam their· best times of the season and won 10 of the 13 events. H a milton did s h i n e at moments, however, setting two of their own school records, and one of the three records set in the Frank and Lee Augsbury Pool that day. P a ul Edick was Hamilton's only double winner, taking both diving events while o u t c l a s s i n g all the other competitors. Edick set a school record in the optional event. Carlberg Fastest in Division Ill Jeff Carlberg got a special welcom� as Hamilton's National Champion and drew murmers from the crowd .as he finished more than 15 seconds in front of his teammate· Mark Walters. The breaststroke event was the only event swept by / the Conts. Carlberg's swim set both the pool

Nobody Asked Me But...

National Pastime FEINGOLD AND SHOEN

The Congress of the United States has joined forces with unemployment, the Arabs, William Simon and Gerald Fo:r:d to help the severely hurt economy-if it is still possible. They are about to make the wrong decision-no matter what they do-on the National Pastime , which is betting on baseball, and football, and basketball, and any other clean-cut sport where points are made, shaved, and spread. Congress appointed a commission of men and lawyers to look into this "growing moral decay" (as television and Bowie Kuhn will tell us), and told them to spend as much money as they can by October, 1976 and report their findings to them. Congress will be a little more than shocked. · Congress will be told that not only will some 30· or so per cent of Americans be affected oy .any change in the gambling laws but, more importantly, the economy of the United States today, betting on baseball and other sports takes in billions of dollars a -'year. Such a huge amount is taken in that no one is really sure how huge it is. The money is handled by thousands of people who are waiting to see you invest your money in a 7½ point spread. That's many jobs. Those people are usually not part of the unemployed work force b�cause their bosses do not usually pay them and they are not e!ibible for compensation. But the workers don't worrY,. It takes more than one Paul Screvane and one lousy state east of California to hurt their business. And if the government wants to join the fun, who's to worry? What kind of guy pays a cover charge to a place for taking his money when the guy across the street will do it for free? The workers who are not afraid of losing their jobs like to spend money. Thousands of happy men with hundreds of happy bosses spending billions of dollars. Who says recession?

*****

But this is not even the important part. A fellow I know who is so good with figures that he got a job as teller in the third biggest bank in America, likes to spend his free time giving his money away. He has many friends. He also has many debts, this short, fat guy. He likes giving it away whenever there is a . sporting event in America-sort of a celebration of great· athletic feats. There is one catch-if he picks a certain team, horse, or athlete to win, and he is right, the me·n who like him a lot will give him a certain amount of money back. They like him very much. There are millions like him who ·follow different sports and use the telephone like Wall Street brokers to invest their money in numbers. There ar.e so many millions like him that they were catered to in a recent gubernatorial primary in New York State. If the government starts making them pay for their fun, they might not like it very much. But can the government have the moral destruction of millions of Americans-lining up at betting counters before work every morning-on its conscience? That's the dilemma. They find thrills and other excitement in placing these investments and testing their skills. These are the people who go to sporting events and root for the home team when the point spread is in their favor. Lately, the crowd in Madison Square Garden has been · upsetting the press because it has been booing the Knicks. They don't hate the Knicks. They are rooting for or against the point spread. It just so happens that the Knicks are making a lot of point spreads unnecessary lately.

They like the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat as much as the next guy, but they like the thrill of playing \;Vith their money · more. James Breslin, former sportswriter, once quoted a guy as to why he loved baseball so much: "One day I got the Mets with Stallard against the Braves. 2-1. I got a 3-2 lead with two out in the bottom of the ninth, and all the Braves got is a man on first and Lee Maye up. Well, I'm getting dressed to go out. I am going to break all over town. The radio says Stallard throws. a pitch. It says Maye hits it eight miles. I take off my tie and fot the next several weeks I am one of the missing dead. That's why the game is so great. One swing oJ the bat can wreck you whole life."

and -school records, and lowered his time previously rated as the fastest in Division III competition for the country. While Carlberg was busy setting r e c ords, St._ Lawrence's Joe Hannah snuck in third place for the one point that clinched the meet for the Larries. Woodburn said he expected the meet to be 56-50 in favor of the Conts going into the last relay, and counted on his relay team of Jeff Cook, Scott Frame, Monty Bau.er, and Tim Johnson for t_he winning seven points. Coach Woodburn seemed intent on proving that his squad could . have taken the event and the meet. The Larrie's relay outmuscled the Hamilton relay team of Needham, WidJJ}an, Schrum. and Strehlow for a pool record. Nu one seemed worried about the Colgate meet, as the Red R a i d e r s b r u s h e d a side the Continentals easily, 67-45. Hamilton had no chance for the win with Colgate ranked as the best in the Upper New York State Swimming Association. Hamilton and Colgate managed to rearrange the Alumni Pool record board, erasing nine of the pool marks. C o l gate's Bob Collum set records in both distance events, and remained solidly the fastest distance swimmer going into the State Meet. Paul Edick came back from Canton ready to top his school record in the optional diving set only four days earlier. Edick also broke both. of his own diving marks in the Alumni Pool. Union Next Jeff Carlberg, as usual, reset his _ 2 00-yd. 'b reaststroke record, placing him well ahead of the rest of the field.

Hamilton Five Claim Two Victories Blue On the Rom/ in Quest of Playoffs By BOB McCORMICK Do centers have more fun? Based on the two hoop contests played at Alumni Gym this past week, one would have to answer a f f i r m atively. Bernie Mucitelli helped the Hamilton five make short work of Utica College and Rochester U. by shooting a cqmbined 13-18 (29 points) from his pivot position. Damian Upson and Gordie Taylor, centers for Rochester and Utica respectively, had themselves a pretty fair time alsoA Upson notched 32 points Tuesday night,

Mark Badger finally broke the _!>!15ket trading with a brilliant

effort near the end of the half. He broke up a Utica fast break and went the length of the court to lay it in. The refs ruled that Badger had been fouled, so he went to the stripe and converted both ends of the one-and-one. This four-point play sent the Blue into the· locker room with a advantage. 41-3 6 half-time Incredibly, Gordie Taylor scored 25 of Utica's first-half points. Taylor's pace slackened off somewhat in the second stanza, but the Conts couldn't pull away. With 8:39 remaining in the game, Mucitelli went out on fouls, and the Blue's six-point lead appeared in danger.

EDITORIAL Catholic Search

In searching for a successor to former Dean of the College Stephen G. Kurtz, the Hamilton Dean Search Committee is working to staff the last of a long list of vacant administrative positions with the best qualified scholar, teacher, and administrator. One cannot help but notice, however,that the last three major administrative openings here, for president, provost, and vice-president, were all filled by members of the "Hamilton Community." President Carovano had been acting president and provost, and a member of the Economics Department before that. Provost Eugene Lewis . was an associate professor of government before moving into the provo st's office, and recently named vice-president, Joseph Anderson, is an alumnus of Hamilton, '44, and is a member of the Board of Trustees. A person from outside the college community could inject valuable ideas and approaches to education different from those specifically fostered at Hamilton College, while carrying back to his own associations the accomplishments and name of Hamilton. Former Dean Stephen G. Kurtz, who came here from Williamsburg, Virginia, where he was Director of the Institute of Early American History and Culture, looked objectively at scholarship at Hamilton and decided to provide more encouragement and resources for scholarship than had been available in the past. Examining the college's reputation as it related to students' success in applying to graduate schools, he organized a conference and made a concerted effort to convince graduate schools that Hamilton was as outstanding an educational institution as its own sons believe it to be. Although the Search Committee would be unfair to discredit a candidate solely on the basis of his Hamilton affiliation, the Search Committee would be acting in the best interests of the college, especially in light of the last three decisions, if it bore in mind the possibly unique contributions of candidates coming from outside the Hamilton community.

R e p. Dona l d J. Mitchell (R-N .Y.) announced the approval of $33,890 in Federal assistance for c o Hege library resources programs in the 31st District, in which Hamilton and Kirkland are situated. According to Mitchell, the funds are to be used to assist the s ch o o l s i n acqumng library m a t e r i a l s such as books , p e r i o d i c a l s , m ag netic tapes, phonograph records, audiovisual m a terials, and other related materials. The Congressman reported that the Burke Library and six other libraries will each be receiving $4 ,23 5 i n l ib r a ry resource development funds. "Considering the impact of inflation on our libraries, I feel t h a t t hi s t y p e of Federal assistance is essential," Mitchell commented. "If you include the expense of purchasing, processing, and maintenance, the average cost of most books is $13.00. In the past five years, the operating cost of many libraries has increased by more than 50%. We simply can not allow the efforts of our educators to be hindered by insufficient library resources. That is why I will continue to support this and similar Federal library assistance programs and why I will continue to seek better ways to . improve our nation's libraries," concluded t h e Utica area's representative. Mitchell will be challenged by the winner in the Democratic p ri m a r y to b e h e ld this September. Among those vying for the chance to run against the incumbent is Terry Tolles, local business executive and son of former Hamilton Dean Winton Tolles.

Economic Crunch Hits Hill Effects at Hamilton Noted

There is a crisis in the financing of higher education that is endangering colleges across the country, according to Walter Adams, past president of the A m e r i c a n Associat ion of University Professors (AAUP). The crisis has been caused by c u t b a c k s i n g o v ernment exp en d i t u r e s , c o r p o r a te contributions and foundation grants, and by increases in educational expenses. "Financial stringency means dismissals of non-tenured faculty, the imposition of h i r i n g freezes, th,e adoption o f tenure quotas and the abolition of tenure altogether," Adams said in his April 26th Presidential address. He said that this stringency was threatening the entire teaching community, and higher education in general. Althoug h many Hamilton fa c ulty and a dministration members say that financially Hamilton is faring relatively well, some admit that Hamilton is beginning to feel the economic crunch. Hiring Freeze Former Dean of the College,

Stephen G. Kurtz, said that a hiring freeze was instituted by former President John Chandler, and that this policy is generally still in effect. R ob er t S i mo n , asso ciate professor of philosophy and current president of the Hamilton chapter of the AAUP, said that what worries him is "Hamilton's failure to keep good people on the faculty and the extent to which the c o l l e ge's relatively high academic standing is a result of sacrifices made by the faculty." Deterioration Cited Simon added that the hiring freeze has caused a deterioration in teaching quality. He said that Hamil ton's d epartments are understaffed and carrying a heavy burden. The work load, he said, cuts into research and into the time faculty members can give to advising students on an individual basis. Acting Dean of the College, Dwight Lindley, agreed that in terms of student load, there is no doubt that some departments work much harder than others. Lindley said, however, that the question is what can be done

There is little fat in the 1974-75 college budget according to Hamilton Provost Eugene Lewis. Affirming that "no one is getting rich," and that there are "no crooks here" Lewis said that although the College· has not even reached the point where it has to contemplate eliminating long standing programs, eventually it may be forced to do so if its budget is not tightened up. The --Ge lk-gc has bcen--h--t¼rt---by inflation and a down turn in the market, Lewis said. At its May meeting, Hamilton's Board of Trustees was told that the face value of the College's endowment portfolio decreased by 7 per cent. Lewis' conservative estimate is that if the College continues spending at present levels, its endowment will have to grow from the depleted $26 million to $50 million by 1984 (assuming that the inflation rate will return to 6 per cent).' If inflation continues at current levels, Lewis said that the College will need much more money. Aside from rising costs, Lewis said that the deterioration of Hamilton's aged physical plant is adding to the College's financial problems. He added that "great 'oits" of the plant will have to be replaced in the next five to ten years. For example, Hamilton is in

the midst of rewmng its whole campus, and building supply inflation has hit especially hard. The Sollege keeps a substantial Maintenance and Operations (M and O) reserve for unexpected "episodic" expenses. However, now the money is going out faster than it can be replenished. Lewis said that last year, close to $400,000 of the reserve was spent, but the College only budgeted $205,000 for reserve replcnishm-en-t..--But unexpected expenses are not the only ones hanging over the College's head. The College still has a $1.1 million Burke Library debt outstanding, and Lewis predicts that a new field house will soon be needed. · Hamilton, however, is not the only school having financial troubles. Many schools are facing financial crises much worse than Hamilton's. New York University, for example, in the midst of a multimillion dollar deficit, sold its uptown campus and laid off or retired 217 faculty members. At present, Hamilton is not operating in the red, nor does it have a deficit. The Tuition Assistance Plan, adopted by the State of New York last spring, will soften the impact of rising tuition costs at private colleges, such as Hamilton, by providing increased, direct aid to students.

Inflation Hits Budget

about it. Tenure: No Changes As of yet, Hamilton has not been forced to deal with an immediate financial crisis, and this means that it has not been forced to institute any drastic policies. "Hamilton has been going slowly, and not over reacting," said Simon. "The administration has been �ensible." Kurtz commented that no non-tenured faculty have been dismissed for financial reasons, and that up through 1973-74 there has been no tenure quota. Simon said that although he believes that there has been no de facto tenure quota, he is sure that the number of untenured spots left in a department is in the back of peoples minds when tenure decisions are made. Tenure: A Problem Kurtz said that unless the College can formulate a program to deal with the tenure and financial problems, the College will wind up with an old, stable, tenured staff and a young, rotating, untenured staff. Lindley, who also fears this development, said that although there has been no change in tenure policy yet, there will have to be one in the next year if the College wishes to avoid this kind of outcome. There is much debate over the kinds of tenure policies that should be adopted. Lindley said that a quota will have to be discussed. Simon, however, said that a quota would hurt the College. Faculty Finances Hamilton Provost, Eugene Lewis denies that tenure problems are caused by financial stringency. He added however, that to keep p._.-academic quality, Hamilton has to increase faculty salaries. ''It is disastrous that the salaries of Hamilton assistant professors are virtually the lowest in the state," Simon said. He added that he is not sure where the reallocation should come from, but that one should be made. Kurtz agreed that more mo­ ney is needed for the faculty. He said that Hamilton hasn't had a president on the road for two years and the "lag has hurt." The Problem For Hamilton to exist, it must provide quality education, Lewis said. To provide a quality education, some professors have said, the College must attract top scholars and have a continuous introduction of new blood. Tenure problems and financial stringency, however, are currently working against both. these aims.

The committee charged with the responsibility of replacing former Dean of the College Stephen G. Kurtz has already received over 100 applications, more than half as a result of the notice placed in The Chronicle of Higher Education with the remainder o r i g i n a t ing from s our ces w i t hin t he college community. The notice in the September issue of The Chronicle is expected to yield a much larger number of -application"S- as vacations end and the academic year begins. P r esi dent Ca rovano wrote letters to Hamilton alumni now in higher education, the alumni council, and the Committee sent letters to t he faculties of Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges. "Several" of the applicants are now faculty members of Hamilton College, a ccording to the committee's c hairman Professor of Chemistry Lawrence Yourtee. Roger Schneider '75 was more specific saying that "four, maybe five" faculty members have been nominated. The search for a dean, on since May, will continue into the W i n t e r. Y o u r t e e s a i d t he committee plans to submit the names of the prime candidates to President Carovano by December 1. Before that, two rounds of interviews have been tentatively pl.anned: the first should include

By SUSAN MALKIN Kirkland must "clarify its procedures," "articulate criteria," and "determine its priorities," said Catherine S. Frazer, newly appointed Dean of Academic Affairs for Kirkland College. Frazer, who assumed office July 1, said that Kirkland's major problems are related to lack of direction and definition in the are as of faculty hiring and tenuring, the Assembly and its committee system, teaching and a c a d e m i c s t a ndards, and educational philosophy. "Confusion and uncertainty are inevitable in a growing school," said Frazer. However, Kirkland must now begin to define its philosophy in more concrete terms without losing its flexible structure. "We must build enough 'give' into the system," she said. "T h e s p o n ta n ei ty and e xc i tement generated at the college's early stages is very precious," Frazer said, "but it

The Committee has not yet decided how public the first round of interviews will be. "We will not be unduly secretive, but w e w i l l m a intain the conf i dentia l ity of individual candidates," said Yourtee. The Committee has agreed not to discuss publicly the names of any candidates at this-point. C om m i ttee policy on the further release of information is also uncertain. Chairman Yourtee, Associate Professor of Philosophy Robert Simon, and Assistant Professor of Government Richard P. Suttmeier all expressed doubts about the release of candidates' names for the first round of interviews. Suttmeier, speaking for himself, said, "I want to make it reasonably open but with the understanding that in some cases, the candidate might have reasons to maintain confidentiality, for one or another reason." Yourtee would not comment at this time on the committee's evaluation of candidates currently on the faculty or whether an "outsider" or an "insider" is preferable over the other.

Kirkland Faculty Affirms Role The Kirkland College faculty, in a meeting last May, passed a resolution affirming that the primary responsibility for tenure and r eappointments decisions rests with the faculty. The resolution , proposed by ten faculty members, including David Begelman, chairman of the Social Sciences Division, Ursula C o l b y , c h a irman of the Humanities Division, and Nadine George, chairman of the Science Division, came as a result of a controversy surrounding President Babbitt's role in the tenure decision of Assistant Professor of Philosophy Phyllis Morris. Babbitt had overruled the recommendations to award Morris tenure of both the Humanities Division Personnel Committee and the Appointments Committee. Babbitt, a fter the Appeals C o m mi t t ee asked him to reconsider, reversed himself and supported Morris. Coming after Babbitt's final decision in the case, the faculty resolution, drawing on statements in the Kirkland Constitution and the Faculty Handbook, bars the president from overruling faculty personnel decisions except "in rare instances and for compelling reasons." "It is not [ the role of the President and the Dean] to substitute their own judgment in those areas where the faculty h andbook assigns primary responsibility to the division, the di vision c hairman, and the appointments committee," the resolution stated. Although the resolution did not recommend any changes in the reappointments and tenure process, it presented a "cogent statement " of the faculty's role, according t o Professor of Sociology David Gray, one of the resolution's proponents. "There was some, but very little opposition," according to Gray. Although Gray said last week that to name those who

Assault Repeated

One assault and several other attempted assaults have been reported around College Hill d uring the p ast ten days, according to Kirkland Dean of Students Jane �oiler. The State Police are currently investigating one of the incidents and are watching the area of College Hill and College Street in Clinton closely.

The late Wilson Mizner used to say, "There is no sweeter music to a gambler's ear than the squawk of a sucker that has been trimmed of his dough." Too bad Mizner isn't around to hear the wailing at Vernon Downs, Oneida County's answer to Roosevelt Raceway. He would love it. This susceptible correspondent is slowly recovering from the results of a couple of races on a cool summer evening. Meadow Messenger, a 60-1 shot, won the third race-at he "Mira-ere-Mite by two lengths from King Tut. In the fifth race, Aileen Hill, i 4-1, won, with Chockoyotte Star, the favorite. finishing fifth, several lengths down the track. Just as the horses don't understand wagering, the jockeys ver y often don't understand

"pace." Most of the boys we see riding know as much about endurance as rabbits. They go all out from the start and hope for the best. In the fourth race, for example, the first quarter was run in 0:29 3/5 and the half mile in 1:01 ; the second half of the race was run in 1: 11 2/5-the last quarter in 0:36 3/5. How about that? Yet even Vernon Downs has its stars. The start for the sixth race was the evening's best. Saint Clair Dart, a big, rough, lively New York bred was first away at the break. He led around the clubhouse turn and on into the backstretch, followed by Speedy Patch and Roanies Son. At the halfway mark though the pace had not been fast, Speedy Patch tired, and there was � roar from the crowd in the stand as Roanies Son joined Saint Clair Dart and the two went neck and neck from

the far turn into the long run for home. At this time, Curator, with less than half a mile to go, had only one horse, Shadydale Racy, beat. Then he began to move. Most of the way, he saved ground along the rails, but a furlong from the tum driver Jack Bailey eased him to the outside. Later Bailey said he did it to fool the other drivers, who, expecting him to come up on the inside, as he did in a previous race, would certainly have shut him off. As it was, when Curator swung into the stretch, it was all over but the cheering, as the board flashed Curator the winner. The euphoria of the trotters nearing the finish line wears off quickly as, once again, I am not one of those queuing up at the cashier's window. F o r t u n a t el y , t here a r e hu'ndreds o f fellow bettors with whom to commiserate. As the offi cial results were posted,

spectators tore up their losing tickets, and turned to the next page of the program in search of the fortune they know is there for the taking. Pensive cigar-smoking paunches, h e a v ily lipsticked c h a tterboxes, f r e e wheeling u n m a r r i e d s , a n d fl ashy, overconfident salesmen roam the area in front of the betting windows. The air is laden with the smell of smoke and bodies. Chairs line the areas near the TV monitors, while outside people surround the wire chain fence at the track and the blacktop leading back to the i graidstana· ·building, where the affluent can be seen sitting above the masses. And as post-time nears, more and more people file before the betting windows, announcing the number of their horse and then receiving a ticket from the teller who has that deadpan expression on his face

Dean Poller identified the victims as members of the Kirkland community, two of whom were minors. According to Poller, all of the incidents occurred between eight and eleven p.m., and all involved pedestrians or hitchhikers. In the only incident reported to the police, a 17-year-old girl was attacked on College Street near Cleveland Place on July 23 shortly before eleven at night. Thus far, there has been no arrest in the case. The suspect is described as a caucasian male, between the ages of 35 and 45, well-groomed and clean shaven, six feet tall, dressed in a red shirt and dark pants. T h e s u spect repo rtedly followed the victim on foot and approaching her, grabbed the victim's hair. The victim screamed and as the assailant put his hand in her mouth she bit his hand. During the struggle, the victim's raincoat was pulled off and she was thrown to the ground. She then kicked the assailant in the groin. The suspect reportedly had been under the influence of alcohol.

Stereo equipm ent worth $ 1 , 5 0 0 w a s s t o l e n from Hamilton's Edward W. Root Art Center (RAC) in a break-in discovered Sunday, July 28. The loss of the equipment, believed to i n clude five turntables, five amplifiers, and five pairs of speakers, may disrupt music classes if the college is unable to refurbish RAC by September. T h e t h i e f s m a s hed a windowpane in the side door of the Art Center to gain entrance, according to Hamilton Provost E ug ene Lewis. T h e thief, a p parently familiar with the building, emptied the cabinet of Art Center keys, and then roamed the building, letting himself into the various rooms. The exact nature of the theft, which may have included records from the Center's record library, has not been determined because a d etailed inventory is not available, Lewis said. Professor Stephen Bonta, chairman of the Music Department, and Lettie Tourville, director of Root Art Center, bdth familiar with the

Center's holdings, were out of town at the time of the burglary. Because the thief took the Art Center's keys with him, all locks in the building will be changed. State Police, Lewis said, are investigating the case.

By PETERM. SOMMER Although it is not really a musical comedy, "Jacques Brei is Alive and Well and Living in Paris" contains in its twenty-six songs enough attitude and emotion for several musicals. Under Bradley Fields' direction, the P la y house- on-t he-Hill presentation in the caberet atmosphere of the Minor Theatre stage is deceptively merry and relaxed. For while the four performers slip casually and amusingly from one acted-out song to another, the context of the songs is profound and subtle. Indeed, although Eric Blau's and Mort Shuman's translation of the Brei lyrics seems faithful, they are difficult to comprehend in one hearing. Fortunately, such comprehension is not absolutely essential to o ur enjoyment. There's no plot, little movement, no characters, but the evening is nevertheless hyp notic. The songs are original, fascinating in their diversity and spellbinding in their unity. At his funeral a corpse laughs at his mourners. A bull tells us what it's like from his point of view in the bull ring. An in nocent waltz abo ut fun at the fair-carousels and cotton candy-turns faster and faster, until, out of control, it winds up in a nervous breakdown. Sometimes with humor, always with wit, Brel's songs describe a world where tears are dry and laughter hollow and it is hard to tell the difference between the dead and the living. But they are not exercises in futility. If beneath the Gallic cynicism lies despair, desp air itsdf is only a small step removed from hope. The songs are glowingly performed by Robert Lunny, Fred Major, Joan Maniscalco, and Leslie Shuman. Unfortunately, it was not unti l the fourth song, Madeleine, that the four performer-singers and the small musical combo that accompanied them were able to

e x hibit the tightly-knit ensemble that characterized the remainder of the evening. The secret of the show's success is in their interaction, in the spontaneous feeling that comes through, as they sing to and with each other, comment upon each other and move with the discipline of dancers to complement each other. The show needs no plot. Each song is a mini-drama. A rapidly sung opening number depicting society as people caught in a meaningless Marathon makes its point more with the music which keeps finding itself forced into a return to the same musical pattern. This is followed by a constantly varied menu of characteristic Brei creations. Brel's music has a different sound from that which we associate with ordinary popular musical theatre tunes. Social themes are strikingly prominent and are voiced in harsh rather than sentimental tones. Nearly all the songs are virulent with disillusion and possess a gruff assertiveness of protest. The target is the falsity, disarray, and misery of the moral, political and street scene of our day. The first act closes with two intensely theatrical numbers. In one, Sons of. . ., Leslie Shuman sings with beautifully controlled bitterness about how life steals our children before we know it. Like some of Edith Piaf's songs, its effectiveness comes from a progressively increased throbbing tempo in the music. In the other, robust, bearded Fred Major uses a similar technique to make stirring Brel's Amsterdam. Major's rendition begins in a gently romantic mood, and then becomes more fiercely harsh as it pounds into the audience the unpleasant realities of what goes on in the port of Amsterdam. The second act begins with Robert Lunny's accusative rendition of The Bulls, in whi ch the bullfight victims tell the

bloodthirsty crowd that this violence is petty compared to some of man's other cruelties. And this production has taken the liberty of tacking the word My Lai onto the end of a list of disgraces. Joan Maniscalco, assisted by the others, offers us the evening's most quietly terrifying image with Old Folks, which describes the horror of elderly people removed from the mainstream of life and merely waiting to die. Leslie Shuman follows this with Marieke, a shrill and haunting song in which a lost love is inextricably tied to memories of Flanders. Although the Flemish words prevent us from understanding it, the emotion comes through. Just as Brel's Amsterdam will hardly increase the tourist trade in Holland, his Brussels is unlikely to attract us to Belgium. In it, he counterpoints a music-hall refrain satirizing the pleasures of bygone Brussels with more realistic verses until the song slows to a halt under the weight of its contradictions. Perhaps the most unforgettable of the evening's events is Robert Lunny's harshly delivered complaint about how the traumatic experience of assembly line sex in "a mobile army whorehouse" has forever ruined his true enjoyment of sexuality. Then the evening ends as merrily as it began with Carousel, in which life is represented as an initially causal ride on a merry-go-round that spins faster and faster until we are dizzy and unable to get off. To remind us that Brel's humanity consists of not exempting himself from the charges he levels at the world, the performers sing If We Only Have Love as a hopeful epilogue. And, certainly, we have come to feel a sense of shared concern about universal experiences with Robert Lunny, Fred Major, Joan Maniscalco, and Leslie Shuman.

The Aftermath... A loser but a fighter, researched the "take" from New York racing. According to the report of the new State Racing and Wagering Board, more than a h a lf and a billi o n dollars-.$1,654,110,434, to be exact-was wagered on the flats and the trots-in the "totes" at the New York tracks in 1973. (That is sixty-one times the Hamilton en dowment of $26 million.) Further figures, indicate that more money was bet on the trotters than on the flats-$879.5 million, as compared to $774.5 million. The big winner of course, was the New York State Treasury, which took in $180.1 million. Close to $17 million of that came from Off-Track Betting, which handled $702.6 million. Patrons of the betting shops around New York City left $4 million in uncashed winning mutuel tickets continued on page six

Computer Center Moves into Full Operation Soon Approximately eighty per cent of the Hamilton-Kirkland NCR 101 computer has arrived on the Hill. It should be installed and operating by the third week in August. The computer, located in the basement of the Burke Library, will eventually be used for all a d mi n i s t rative jobs including payrolls, master student files, endowment, alumni records, fund raising and those of the registrar's office. Employees at the Computer Center include Assistant Professor of Mathematics David Smallen, its d i rector, a n d M s . Lucinda Bingham, a part-time systems analyst. Hamilton student Michael Kaplan, and possibly one other student from the Hill, will be e m plo yed a s lab assistants. Approximately six financial aid students will fill positions as student operators in the fall. Including t he c om puter hook-up with Cornell University, the lease cost of the Hamilton-Kirkland computer will run an estimated $3,000 per month.

6/THE SPECTATOR/August 6, 1974

Admissions Gets Tougher As Students Pick and Choose Despite an increase in the overall number of applications d uring the past few years, Hamilton admissions is being forced to adjust to a shrinking p o ol of p rospective college students, the current economic reces sion, and i t s limited reputation in comparison to Williams, Harvard, or Dartmouth. Hamilton's position, nonetheless, remains secure at a time when i n s t i t u t i o n s m u st battle admissions figures which augur disaster. A r eport currently being compiled by Assistant Director of Admissions Edward B. Wilson shows that the percentage of accepted students who decide to come to Hamilton has dropped consistently from 59% for the class of 1972 to 43% for the class of 1977, that those who decide to matriculate, less are in the top fifth of their h_igh school class, more have SAT scores of 550 or below, and more come from private schools than had come several years ago, although the majority still are from public institutions. Appli cations increased at Hamilton from 1045 (class of 1972) to 1533 (class of 1978), but the number of students the c o l l e g e a d mitted rose proportionally from 434 to 62 5 this year. Although this increase can, in part, be attributed to a d e c i s i on to i n crease t he enrol l ment of t h e college, Hamilton has been continuously hurt by students opting to enroll at m ore prestigious colleges. Dartmouth and Williams Colleges lured a combined 43 out of the 162 applicants who answered a questionnaire sent by Hamilton to those students who decided not to enroll here. (The questionnaire was s ent to 3 0 5 former prospectives.) W i l s o n s a id t ha t pas t experience has shown that the student who applies to H,amilton

also applies to Dartmouth and Williams in many instances, and if a ccepted at either of those institutions, most applicants will reject Hamilton in their favor: Dartmouth lures students from Williams and Williams from Hamilton, and Hamilton from schools like St. Lawrence. "You cannot readjust this order. There is nothing you can do about it," said Wilson. Problems Widespread The problems Hamilton is encountering are not confined to College Hill. Williams College, for example, also attracted under 50% of its accepted applicants. A constantly dropping birth rate will continue to cut the number of students looking for a college education, and the grim economic outlook precludes many from considering expensive liberal arts colleges. The latter reveals itself in t}:le recent rise in private high school applications and the concomitant drop in those from public schools. However, the n e w l y c o n cei ved T uition Assistance Plan should help private colleges attract more qualified students. Wilson said the admissions office intends to sell that plan very hard in the year ahead. This year, 28.8% of those applicants who were voted admission to the college upon a first reading of their credentials, opted to matriculate. A greater demand and a smaller supply of these highly qualified applicants is discernible across the country. "We have been hurt the most in that group," said·•. Wilson. The college plans to make greater efforts to retain high achieving applicants and attract more of them initially. The college has now engaged in a Merit Scholar search with other institutions to try and locate exceptionally bright students and then to work harder to interest them in Hamilton.

continued from page three maintained by the secretary to the committee, John Mavrogenis. Thus far, one woman has submitted her name for the po s1t10n. The College is an affirmative action employer, and in the past two years has increased the number of women on the faculty from four, who all taught part-time, to eleven. Yourtee said that the Committee has not yet con sidered its p os1t10n on Affirmative Action. He added, "I can't speak for the College." Offering his personal opinion, Yourtee said, "We should identify the best qualified candidate for the position." The Chairman added that the question of any c a n d i d a t e ' s p o s i t ion on

a f f i r m a tive a ct i o n is an appropriate question. Suttmeier said on Affirmative Action, "We will operate within the law." Suttmeier also commented on faculty scholarship and the role of the dean in that area, sayi ng, "It is felt that the Dean should assume some responsibility for faculty dev elopment-should encourage research and scholarship. We are looking for a scholar-a guy who will encourage others." He added, "Scholarship is not inconsistent with good teaching." At this point, committee members say it is too early to define criteria more specific than the statement they have release.cl. (See statement)

Dean Seardt Kicks Off

The following is a statement drawn up by the Dean Search committee on the functions of the Dean of the College. The statement is meant to give the members a reference point for evaluating candidates. OFFICE OF THE DEAN The Dean of the College is expected to provide leadership in the development of the curriculum and the over-all educational program of the College. It is his task to appraise continually the objectives of the College and to insure that the educational program is in accord with those objectives. The Dean has the opportunity and the responsibility for shaping and strengthening an already excellent faculty. The Dean works with departmental chairmen, the faculty Appointments Committee, and the President on the recruitment of new faculty and on decisions relating to salary, promotion, reappointment, and tenure. To assist and encourage individual faculty members in their growth as teachers and scholars is a primary responsibility. The Dean is expected to provide leadership in academic relations with Kirkland College. In function, then, the Dean of the College is primarily a dean of the faculty. The President and the Search Committee are particula rly i nterested in candidates with outstanding qualifications as teachers and scholars. It is hoped that the Dean will remain active as a scholar and do at least a minimal amount of teaching.

Hamilton no longer publishes its SAT scores to prospective applicants because it can be a deterent to the under-achiever who might otherwise be qualified and the very high-scorer who might think Hamilton is not up to his l e v e l o f a chie ve ment, according to Wilson. SAT scores at Hamilton have dropped from a mean of 644-verbal and 6 64-math (class of 1972) to 605-verbal, 644 math (class of 1977). The SAT averages rose five points, however, for the class of 1978. The percentage of freshmen scoring below 550 on the verbal portion of the college boards has jumped from 6% (class of 1972) to 28% (class of 1977); the math scores below 550 have also increased from 4% to 13% for those same classes. Conversely, 8% of the class of 1977 scored above 700 on the verbal boards while I 7% achieved that highly in the class of 1972. In the math portion, the figure dropped from 31% in '72 to the present 21%.

A Modest Proposal... All in all, the racing business seems to be doing very well during otherwise hard times. Unlike most o ther i nstitutions-colleges in particular, the track continues to l u r e m i llions of compulsive consumers in the United States. Both the mathematics of the situation and human irrationality demand the use of betting methods in other facets of American life as the only solution to our economic woes. Thus, a modest proposal: That Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges institute an

On-Campus Betting Corporation to be administered and operated b y a n d f or t h e college communities. The colleges would, without question, serve as a· national model. Implementation is simple: Mrs. Burns will be designated chief teller in Buttrick Hall, which under these plans would be c o n ver t e d i n to t he main headquarters for the corporation. Hamilton Provost Eugene Lewis would serve as president of the cor poration with the newly­ furnished c o m p ut e r center handling the massive accounting work. P r esidents C a r ovano and Babbitt would serve as special agents f or the corporation, handling large bets from alumni,

t rustees, and f o undations. Registrar Palmer Fargnoli would compute odds and Bristol Campus Center Director Andrew Wertz would be responsible for the daily schedule of events. Of course, horses would be out of the question, but who needs them given the resources the colleges already maintain? The daily bets would g; as follows: 1. Sports: all intramural and intercollegiate games .would be open to betting. The Spectator would publish the "morning line" every Friday, and betting would be open at Buttrick until two hours before game time. 2. Snowfalls: During the fall semester, special bets offering various combination options would be instituted. First, the day of the first snowfall, second, the number of inches, and third, the number of those students who had not yet put snow tires on their cars. A t h e c o r r e c t- o r closest-placement of the bet in all three competitions would yield a Trifecta return-a full s cholarship for the spring semester. 3. Searches: Once the final candidates have been named in the Hamilton search for a dean and the Kirkland search for a vice-president for development, bettors will be able to place money on the candidates. The Daily Double returns will be available for those who pick the winners in both races. 4. Rules: Bets can be placed at the Buttrick hall windows between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and at other designated times. All transactions must be in cash. This is only the beginning. With just a little imagination and effort, the scope of betting on the Hill can be limitless. Hamilton and Kirkland will be able to maintain financial security and even wealth at a time when other institutions are closing and going bankrupt. Admissions will skyrocket, the endowments will skyrocket, faculty will earn the highest salaries in the nation and students will pay low tuition-and most important of all, Hamilton and Kirkland will make an inestimable contribution towards a new and refined conception of a liberal arts education.

T h e Ki rkland Board of Trustees h a s a c c e pted the curricular olan defining Kirkland's policy for . 1975-198.5, which was drawn up by the Committee on Curricu lum for the Second Decade (CCSD) over a period of a year and a half. The plan will be combined with additional statements on non-curricular issues, such as community life, admissions and athletics, to form a comprehensive policy document. This will be presented . to the trustees· in May for their approval. Finally, it must be approved by the Assembly. "What the trustees will approve will be general policy directions, not spec�ic programs," President Babbitt said. He said that trustee approval of the document would be an assurance to the resident c om m u n ity that "reasonable resources" would be provided to reach the goals spelled out in the document. However, all specific program.; and resolutions stemming from the policy directions of the document would hav<'; to go through the Assembly, Babbitt said.

The decision of the Student Senate Subcommittee on Course Evaluation to scrap the first eight questions of their questionnaire - those pertaining to the performance of individual faculty members - seems to - have been necessary, although unfortunate, considering the reported confusion about the instructions for completing the q����� It is regrettable that in the process, a considerable amount of student time has been wasted. This only ·points to the futility of the student administration of course evaluation surveys when the faculty already administers them each semester. There is no need to duplicate efforts, both in the classroom by faculty and students on the last "Clay of the semester, and among the formulators and tabulators of each of the reports. The three year mandate of the Appointments Committee to prepare confidential evaluations for the faculty expires at the end of this year. Members of the Senate Subcommittee have said they plan to propose at that time that students and faculty prepare a joint questionnaire, the results of which would be made public to the college community. It would be in the best interests of all concerned if the faculty accepted such a proposal. In light of student interest, as evidenced by this year's efforts to prepare a course evaluation booklet, it seems inevitable that students will in some way be involved in course evaluation. Continuation of the faculty policy of confidentiality, then, would still not prevent the open­ discussion of courses and faculty·performance. · Collaboration, however, would allow the faculty the opportunity to challenge those types of questions which 1 they may have found objectionable in this or past student , questionnaires. A cooperative course evaluation survey -yvould probably be a fairer and more reliable reference source for each student who wishes to know which courses his peers have found most interesting and why. The questionnaires also provide an avenue for input for student opinion regarding tenure, appointments, and salary decisions. It seems unfair that the final total student ,,, contribution t� these decisions, which so closely affect the ,,. students, remain completely confidential. As voters of sorts, the students ought to be told how they, in the end, voted, so they can know wheth,..er they were in accord or , � disagreement with final personnel decisions of the _ admin1stration. If the faculty is unwilling to collaborate with the students in their joint effort, the students should seriously consider whether they ought not continue to cooperate in filling out the ques�onnaires for the faculty's Committee on Appointments.

Be//y Dancei-S Show Exotic Muscle Control

By TAMAR GOLD As Mid-Eastern music whined fuzzily from a tape cassette player in the corner, several students decked out in brightly co lored leotards · and tights readied themselves for a new and different experience Monday night in the rear of McEwen dining hall. As part of a Free School class, the students-were about to learn the ancient, exotic art of belly dancing. Sue Jones, one_ of the two instructors, stood in the center if the group as she led the exercises and introduced fundamental 'techniques of the dance. She wore a floor length, blue, veiled skirt covered with round glittering sequins and filOVed gracefully about the circle of students. Jones was joined by Mary Waite, who also demonstrated the fundamentals of the dance while correcting the students as they cautiously followed. Lying on -the floor in the center of the circle, Waite directed, "Try to feel each vertebrae come down one at a time, bring it down slowly," adding emphasis to the last word. One student called out that she was having problems with movement in her waist. She received prompt, individual attention and was advised on how she could stretch her muscles and better accomplish the exercise. Stretching Those Muscles Most .of the class exercises were · designed to loosen and stret'ch the dancers' muscles. Pushing and reaching was practiced to gain agility, although maintainin_g a graceful manner was also stressed by the· teachers. The students crossed the floor, slinking with the "snak� walk," moving their hips and arms as they determinedly bit their

lower lips. They looked down at their awkward body movements and then back at the instructor who seemed to be doing, the impossible, no sweat. Waite suggested that practicing the exercises for a few free moments each day would eventually benefit the dancers·After five to ten minutes of each techniqu e, a new. movement was introduced, as the sound of the music was interrupted by intermittent giggles, sighs and puffs. · 'Just Jelly' One good laugh broke through when one of the two male pupils, who didn't have much of a stomach, attempted the "p u 11-it-in-stick-it-ouf ! exercise. Jones introduced her "shoulder shimmy"-her voice reverberating as she moved, still spurting instructions. "This one's always good for a dollar in your bra," . she laughed. In an attempt to loosen up the stiff, yet attentive pupils, Jones suggested as she shook her hips, "Totally relax, feel like everything: is just jelly." The t eachers collaborated closely durin_g class. "Are they ready for snake arms?" one asked the other, who decided that "the 'finger ripple' was a must" and

If Clem oeRosa's Band Could Only See the Dancers· Nowl BY GUY ARCIDIACONO

Clem DeRosa, who appeared here in October with his big dance band, would be happy to see Hamilton and Kirkland students learning the fox trot, jitterbug, and waltz every Thursday night in the Bundy Dining Hall. With surprising agility and grace, the approximately seventy students step to the tunes and direction of Peggy Dills, Robin Littauer, and Andrea Ker, the instructors of this Free School course.· . "People really want to learn," says Peggy Dills, '78. ",If people knew how to do it, they'd really know how much fun it is." Peggy attributes the enthusiasm to the wave of nostalgia prevalent in the nation. The class, which danced the jitterbug to "Chantilly Lace" this week, has·22 males and 22 females. The class concentrates solely on partner dancing, which seems to have been abandoned in more recent forms of dance. Dress is unimportant, and people seem to do it becuase they_ want to. "My boy friend has been bugging me to teach him . how to jitterbug," says Winnie Wollman, "and now I finally can."

Rockin' around the clock at the 'Free School Dance Hall' are Ken Lehman and Linda Anzalone

Andrea Ker was a student in the dance - school where Peggy Dills taught for four years, so she decided to' come down and teach a class herself, She teaches the beginnner's class, while Peggy and Robin Littauer have the ·i.dvanced Jitterbug class. New week, the classes will learn the waltz. Ken· Lehman joined lhe class because he thought it would be a really good time ... ""I'll be able to fake doing . it any�t>y ..." And according to Larry Stewart, "I'm a spastic on the dance floor. . .l decided I'd come to do something about it...being at Hamilton, a liberal arts college, I want to broaden my perspectives." Peggy confessed that her mo.tives for te�hing the classes are partially, �lfisl).

She says she enjoys dancing, but found that there are few people on the Hill who really know how to Charleston or Castle walk. Influential Clem She mentioned that when Clem DeRosa and his band appeared on the Hill a few months back, there was great enthusiasm, but unfortunately, few people really knew how to dance correctly. "Hopefully, now I'll be able to find partners .. r" She also confessed that it is she who often leads. She said her biggest fear was that people would be too tense, and afraid to try new things, but so far this has not _ � happened. . It was in 1915 that the fox trot was introduced, a snappy 4-4 time dance. Then, in the midst of the Roaring 20's, came the Charleston. Arthur· Murray standardized the Ballroom dance at about the same time, into five fundamental steps.

The Swing Era

Then in 1935, the swing era arrived, and with it came the Shag, the Lindy Hop, and the Jitterbug. The Rumba and the Conga from Cuba also were popular. After World War 11, the dances moved more towards group participation. Into this grand and elegant history comes the free school class. This semester's curriculum includes learning the Jitterbug, the Charleston, the Fox Trot, the Rumba, the Cha Cha, the Tango, the Samba, and the Waltz. Bunsy McClean said she's jitterbugged before but "not with steps." The instructors take time with each dancer, and try to correct any Ip.is copied steps. "The girl must hold her partner at the nape of the neck with both hands ... then she swings her leg up," she said demonstrating. The atmosphere is best described as casual and loose. Dills was surprised by the enthusiasm; ·a11 said they were enjoying themselves. As Peggy put it, "It's a great cont.inued on page 7

Double Bill Only Half a Success By Jo-Ann Mort Stars are built of strange substance. They must exist behind a glass wall of performanc� stature. On colle'ge can_ipuses, in a closed community, the situation is quite different. A concert takes on thf: guise of an intense evening occurrance. Students tend to deal more directly with the performer as a person. Loudon Wainwright and Steve Goodman both come from essentially the same musical genre. They are two of the -buge talents to emerge from the new folk revival, a revival which has incorporated , old-timey and traditional music into the minds of urban-oriented musicians. A consequence of this revival has been the growing mass appeal of folksingers in the competitive music industry, as products of that industry. -Folksingers, who in the past were thought to be lone, anti�establishment types are now signing with major· i:ecording companies and churning out highly produced albums. important e x_tr e m ely A n ot her occurrance has been the emphasis put on the singer-songwriter. Both Goodman and Wainwright are songwriters, writing in two s}gnificantly different manners.

Setting Essential The setting was · something of indispensable importance to the outcome of the concert. Goodman and Wainwright are pretty much names which assure sell-out crowds at a few choice clubs throughout the co�.mtry, such as the .Bottom Line in New York City and the Main Point in Philadelphia. Wh.en people go !o see a performer in a club, they go primarily to see that performer and for the most part are already familiar with his music and set. On a college campus, this is not the case. Musical tastes tends to vary and money is limited. The situation results in · a few people being satisfied, even welcoming the entertainment which cotnes on campus, and other people going to the concert because they want· to go to a cqn_cert, and are consequently, unfamiliar with the performer's style. ..._ Which brings me to an�ther point. While Goodman and Wainwright are coming from 'the same basic musical roots, their performance style and songwriting style are as different as is possible. They were both fairly unknown with the crowd. Therefore, they were in esse�ce; starting from scratch.

.

Goodman-

Goodman opened-the concert. with the mark of excellence. There is �o escaping from the fact that Goodman is outstanding as a guitarist, as a singer, and as a songwriter. He shines on stage and makes it quit_e evident tha.t he enjoys what he is doing. ' · For both of . his sets, Goodman previewed some of his more recently written songs, which will be on his forthcoming Asylum album. Confident Spontaneity He performed a few requests, but on the whole, seemed to go with anything that came to mind. In fact, a few times Goodman began a song, stopping in the middle to do another song as it popped into his head. The grace with which he carried out his transitions added to his confidence on stage. Beginning to strum "City of New Orleans," Goodman's 'hit,' he began to mention his first album saying, ''This is from my first album. A rumour in its own

An epic film.ballad from Chile combining history and myth. allegory and revolution, spectacle and poetry.

Loudon Wainwright time." Though Goodman wrote the song, Ario· Guththrie's name is associated with it. Speaking with Goodman after the show, he discussed this for a few minu·tes. I asked Goodman how he felt when other people recorded his songs, in that their interpretation would obviously be different. He said, "I love· it!" but also cite4 the example of "City of New Orleans." He wasn't surprised that Guthrie's version made it and his own didn't. Goodman termed the studio version, pr o d uc t i o n o f G uthrie's "incredib1e." Goodman's set was �ertainly varied. He went from Gerswhin to the witticisms of Shel Silverstein to old rock 'n roll to a train song. A list which could last interminably in order to point out his varied tastes and talent. He played directly to the audience, in fact, changed lyrics in keeping with his mood.

Wainwright' Controversial

Second to perform was Loudon_ Wainwright. One thing to be said about his performnace is that it. has become. ; controversial top,ic of conversation. People walked out on him, some from disgust, some from boredom, and some because it was late. Being familiar with Wainwright as a performer and as a· songwriter, I cannot dismiss him. His performance was unfortunate. Wainwright is caught up in the role of being a performer. He's a nice guy, not the violent nervous person he presented on

stage. He conducts every performance in basically the same style, what· we saw as his convulsive, muscular movements . Wainwright was not drunk during the first set. He was drunk during the sec.ond performance, but I am hesitant to say how much that accounted for his actions in performance. I would rather say that when Wainwright fell through it was because of insecurity. Wainwright who graudated from Carnegie-Mellon Drama School, had to rely on his actor's mask for the playing of each song. Later, listening to Wainwright sing the songs on his .albums that he did in concert, I was struck by the enormous difference in presentation. His guitar work was skillful and his voice was controlled. A helpful hint was suggested to me at the concert-to listen to the concert with my eyes closed, and it made a difference. To those who question Wainwright's songwriting ability, I must emphatically disagree.· It takes a while to realize that with all those simple words, wainwright is making a perceptive statement about our modern day lives. To those who were shocked by his violence, I ask them to reconsider their everyday existence. Unfortunately, in a "lot of spots where Wainwright's se·nsitivity might have shown through, he covered over with obnoxious facial expressions. At last Friday night's concert neither performer could possibly have found an out. They ·had not bac_k-u� band to hide continu� oll'page seven

The prints, many of which were gifts from Hamilton art patron Edward Root '05 to t h e Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute, date from the -pre-Coromorlore Perry, Tokugawa period (1603-18-68). During this period most political power was centralized in the military dictatorship of the shogun.

Many turned for excitement to the Yoshiwara district of Edo (present-day Tokyo), an area noted for its-prostitutes and _ trans�estites. These prints reflect much of this search for the ephemeral pleasures of this district. The artists' subjects were often local. beauties, courtesans, and popular actors in the Paris night club-like Kabuki theater.

In my previous life as Bruce Hornstein '77 I thoroughly enjoyed the various oppurtunities DAVID J. K UMA TZ '77 one had for hearing live music on the Hill.

Coinmunication is the key to getting the • difficulties which the SAC must surmount to � most out of our social budget. The community bring entertainment to the Hamilton-Kirkland must be made aware of who is· available community. I know about the problem of concert-wise. The SAC must get feedback as to limited funds, the varied interests that the SAC must serve. Still, l am certain that better use can what types_ ?f events are wanted and how often be made of available funds. Surveying recent SAC activities, it seems that certain segments of the community are· not ·being adequately represented. I feel that this should and can be corrected. MORISON '76

MARTIN TYKSINSKI '77 In recent years, the quality of entertainment at Hamilton-Kirkland has been sorely deficient, even when compared to schools of similar size and resoures. Limited funds, restricted dates for scheduling, cancellations, and conflicting interests within _the committee are often cited as problems of the SAC. The fact that these are real problems is made all tQo apparent by the concerts we have gotten in the past two years. -However, despite these problems, I foe! improvements can and must be made over the past two committees' accomplishments.

The Art Student's Caucus (ASC) met Wednesday to organize its governing board and distribute copies of the group's proposed constitution. Margaret Klenck presided at the meeting during which Barbara Lapidus was selected president of the group and nine others were named to the Board, each representing different disciplines in the Arts Division. On the board are the following students: Franny Drayton, dance; Miriam Hack, music; Andrea Kantor, writing; Margaret Klenck, theatre; Ruth Frederick, ·photography; Clifford Davis and Nancy Juda, studio arts; Liza Bernard and Geri Gale, representatives-at-large. Some students raised� concerns about having a Hamilton student as president of ASC or on its board. It was decided that, because of the high percentage of male professors in the Arts Division, it would be better to have a woman in charge of ASC, in order to provide woman a chance to get involved in division policies. The discussion w a s precipitated by Clifford Davis' nomination to the Board. Franny Drayton was chosen secretary of the group; the next meeting will be Friday at 5: 00 p.m. According to ASC.s constitution, the organization's purpose is to "serve 3:s a vehicle ...for communicating the ideas and concerns of students of the Arts Division to · the faculty and administration of the Arts Divis1')n. The organization shall concern itself with the_ role of arts in woman's college by helping to define the needs and problems of women artists."

What happened was that the concert presented two men in thedilernna of selling themselves, selling their product to the audience. Goodman was able to do this with almost no trouble. He was, in fact, humbled by his warm reception. Wainwright chose to delve deeper into his act and keep his true self as hidden as possible. For those who stayed to see the conclusion of the last set, Wainwright's performing capabilities were made evident. He left the stage a bit dejected and though the sparse audience wanted an encore, he wasn't about to reappear. Goodman, who had been sitting in the back of the chapel throughout the set, ran to the dressing room and brought Wainwright back. He did an absolutely electrifying song "Central Square Song;" 'He played it straight and he played it beautifully.

Student Course Evaluations to be Published Despite · Setback

By THOMAS BECK The Subcom�ittee on Course Evaluation of the Student Senate Curriculum Committee has been forced to eliminate the first eight ·questions that evaluated faculty teaching ability on last fall's student course evaluations. It was feared that the instructions for these responses were unclear and not_followed by students. However, a booklet of course arid professor evaluations for both semesters will be released at the end of the school year. The · results-for fall, 1974, will be based on questions nine through_ 20 and written comments, and t��y will

be an informational rather than critical report. The booklet is intended to be .an aid to student course selection. Although the subcommittee sent out a notice to all faculty members requesting that they announce and explain the error, Roger Schneider '75 , ch;µrman of the Curriculum Committee, said it is p o s s i b l e students were confused. He added that faculty members had expre�sed fears that the results of this section would aqt reflect actual student opinion. The error was due· to the s u b co m mit tee's failure to c o r r e 1 a t e i t s p r i n ted

Decade Plan Accepted continued from page one committee, presently working on the document has revised parts of the curricular plan, but has "stuck to the substance." She cited as the greatest change the revision of tl}e section on advising. While the earlier document has called for � "gtpup of at leas.t two f aculty . advisors [to] work together with each student," the revision, according to Colby, will change the ratio to two faculty memb ers for two or three students. In the plan this is referred to as ·"tutorial' advising." As in · the earlier drafts, the emphasis is on giving advising a greater role in the student's college career, she said. "The single mo st critical dimens'ion of this faculty-student relationship [ tutorial advising] must be to provide a forum for ongoing discussions aimed at integrating the student's artistic i n t e l l e c t u·a l a n d accompl ishments," states the revised document According to the plan, the discussions will fake the form of seminars meeting for one and a half to two hours every other week, said Colby. There will be reading lists, and preparations will be necessary for these meetings, she s aid. This system of tutorials will

depend on the establishment of other aspects of the curricular plan, Colby said. As outlined in the document distributed in October, the plan calls for graduation requirements based on competency attained in a chosen field. Under this plan, graduation requirements would not hinge on the completion of a specific number of cours_es a� the most i m p o r t a n t c r i t e r i on for graduation. Therefore the typical student load would be less, and the tutorial would be in adclition to it. The tutorial would not increase the present student load, Colby said. If the Board of Trustees gives their approval of the Second Decade Planning Document in May, Kirkland will start a pilot program in the fall to test the workability of the guidelines, accor d i n g t o Babbitt. The program will involve a small group of faculty and students, he said, and Colby stressed that it "would have to be voluntary." However, _ regardless of the pilot program, each aspect of the policy plan will have to be passed by the institutional body (the Assembly, SCACA, Student Life C o�m i t t e e) under whose jurisdiction it falls, before it will b ecome working institutional policy.

Blue Five Arrive Go Up For Glory

By ROBERT McCORMiCK One day this week, Hamilton College basketball coach Tom Murphy will receive a very important phone cali. Within a f<lw seconds of answering, he will know if the Continentals' dream has come true. During the half-century or so of basketball on the Hill, the Blue have never once participated in a post-season tournament. Amazing, but true. Now, with three freshmen in the line-up, the quest may be over at last. Depending on the Conts' performance in their final two gam es of the season, this week-end against Clarkson and St. Lawrence, they may be selected as on e of the four squads in the Upper New York State College Tournament. Granted, the Blue didn't exac tly help themselves last week-end with two road losses to Trinity and Tufts. But they are hoping that these New England games will have less bearing· on their fate than New York State contests, in which they have compiled a sparkling 11-4 slate. Sparkling Squad The Trinity game proved to be a_ Blue exercise in futility. ''We w ere awful," admitted freshman guard Willie Jackson. The Conts shot a poor 35% (28-78) and were heavi ly out-rebounded. Nine minutes into the game, they led 22-21, but it was downhill after that. Trinity's Wayne Sokolosky .notched 32 points, while Mark

Rybarczyk and John Klauberg shared Hamilton honors with 13 apiece. The final tally was Trinity , 89, Hamilton 69. The next afternoon at Tufts, it was a completely different story. The Blue came within a few seconds of defeating .P.erhaps the toughest team on their schedule. "It was our best game of the year," said Coach Murphy. Mink Stole? Tufts held a ten point lead at the half, 52-42, largely due to the efforts of Dennis Mink, one of the top scorers in the .ECAC College division. Mink poured in 24 first-half points. After the intermission, Brian Coombes solved Mink and did a good job shutting him down the rest of the way. The Blue came roaring back behind Johli Klauberg, Willie Jackson, and Pedro Garcia. With 15 seconds remaining, they had closed to within two points and fouled Tufts' Tapscott, who hit both ends of the one-and-one. Trailing now by four, the Conts came down the court, scored, and narrowly missed stealing the inbound pass� That was it. Tapscott added two more foul shots to provide the final margin of victory, 88-84. In this contest, the Blue got but .2 0·. points from their front-court trio of Coombes, Rybarczyk and Mucitelli. John Klauberg more than made up the difference, however. He put on an amazing show for the Bostonians, racking up 3 7 . pts. Pedro Garcia also played exceptionally well off the bench. He shot-5-6 and netted f3 points.

The recently approved policy recommendations on ten­ ure and appointments of the Expanded Commi_ttee on Ap­ pointments (ECOA), [see article, page 1, and report, page 8], are a distinct improvement over the report proposed last No­ vember, which included the suggestion of departmental guidelines. With the choice of three types of appointments probationary, competitive, and term - the college should be able to avoid over-extending itself financially anl"tenuring up" d epartm ents, while side-stepping the restrictions imposed by departmental guidelines. It is only hoped that the use of the term and competitive appointments, to be determined by the president after con­ sultation with the dean, the Committee on Appointments, and department chairman, will be modest, and, indeed, "jus, tified by special institutional needs and circumstances," as the faculty policy reads. It seems to be a rioble intention of the faculty to set up a healthy balance between the depart­ ment chairman, who will usually want to offer probationary appointments so as to attract the most qualified candidates, and the president, who must consider the· fiscal drain of maintaining a highly tenured faculty and who may press for term or competitive appointments. However, it should also be noted that the policy accepted by the facultv is understood to be only a recommendation to President Carovano, who still retains ultimate power to hire, fire, and tenure faculty members. In that light, it may not augur well for 'junior faculty that Carovano w�s less than enthusiastic in his public reception of the AAUP amend­ ments to the ECOA suggested review of the conditions of present non-tenured appointments. The conditions of appointment for some present nonten­ ured faculty members are considered to be ·vague or ambigu­ ous; in' oth�r words, some junior faculty may be under the­ impression that they will eventually be eligible for tenure un­ der the terms of theh: letter of appointment, while the col­ lege is under the opposite impression. The avenue for appeal set forth in the amendment, then, is of crucial importance to junior faculty members in the event they disagree with the college's interpretation of their terms of-appointment. The president said yesterday that he had not studied the amendments with great care, and so, was unable to say whe­ ther he will be able to abide by. them. But, Carovano has known of the AAUP amendments for: nearly a week, and pre-· sided over the Tuesday faculty meeting where they were dis­ cussed and passed by a heavy majority, with little discussio·n. Furthermore, the faculty had drawn up a tenure policy at the president's request. In this light, it seems that if the presi­ dent has not carefully examined the amendment as he has said, then he has been negligent and irresponsible to the se­ nior faculty, _and the junior faculty in particular, who haq drawn up and approved the policy_ statement. If the presi­ dent has indeed studied the proposal and realizes its proba­ ble effect on his future tenure and appointments decisfons, then, apparently, he has deliberately clouded his position. In the 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Free­ dom and Tenure of the AAUP, endorsed by Hamilton Col­ lege, it is stated, "The precise terms and conditions of every appointment should be stated in writing and be in the pbsses­ sion of both institution and teacher before the appointment is consummat�d." If, indeed, faculty members do not now possess clear, unambiguous statements of the terms and con­ ditions of their appointments, then Hamilton ha�apparently violated the AAUP guidelines which it has accepted. The president, in the least, should provide each nonten­ ured faculty member with every opportunity to clarify his present terms and conditions of appointme'nt, and to appeal, if the interpretation by the college is not in accord with his. This provision for appeal, as called for in the amendI_llents passed Tuesday, should be the subject of a clear, public statement of acceptance by President Carovano.

' ...Cocked, Loaded, Blitzed...' By POOKIE ADAMS

Anthropologists have noted that groups of people have a tendency to develop many different words for some single object or form of behavior important to them. The Eskimos, for example, have many different word-s for snow · of different textures. While we recognize corn snow, powder snow, and a few other variants 1 the Eskimos have a word to describe snow that is good for making igloos. All people, of course, have many words to describe the natural bodily functions: hunger and thirst, among others. We, the members of the Hamilton-Kirkland community, are no exception·. But we are all involved, in one way or another, and . to some extent, in academia. Many of our words, then, must be devoted to defining various aspects of our academic activities. Well, we can go to the "libes" to study, work, book, or grind. Someone who studies excessively is called a big booker, a grind, a closet c.rse, or a pre-med. How can we account for the fact that there are so few synonyms for What is, presumably, our most important activity? Are we to infer that this is not in fact our favorite occupation? And if studying, in fact, is a less favorite or popular activity, what is our most favorite activity? Perhaps we can answer this question by

itself. Among these alternatives there is presently in u·se a method proven helpful in non-directive group therapy encounters and during some seances but never before tried in the classroom That is the Sit-Around·The,Tabk and-Guess-Who .., The-Prof.-Is method. Fbr this it is necessary to procure a young faculty so as to camouflage the professor amidst not only a room full of students but the youthful modem decor as well. Of course this mechod has an implicit time limit as a result of the aging of faculty. However, as soon as the faculty turn twenty-six, the method will no longer have that experimental quality anyway. for it would already have been tried by that very institution only the year past. Lastly, therd must be induced by whatever means possible, a student-teacher rapport in and out of the classroom so that, when confronted with the teacher's years of experience and expertise in his-her field, the student does not suffer any feelings of intimidation when his-her own inadequacy is juxtaposed. The professor may use such means as cooking dinner for a group of students, wearing dungarees, smoking pot, sleeping with students, eating Service Systems food, and being seen coming from or going tp the bathroom. While it may be t hJoretically · e x p,erimen t a l l y acceptable, introducing students to the faculty "Sherry Hour" is something still considered taboo among even the most liberal educators, As a last resort, if a school administration finds after its first few years, it is no longer able to muster the· necessary creativity to produce always newer and more innovative approaches, it can instead create new titles for old and s ituations undefined progressive-sounding jobs for adm.i n i s trative s ecretaries. Examples would... be "In Class Happenings" ins.tead of exams and "Off ice of the Director of Development" which is still undefined for most. Then, raise the fuition $375 so only the elitist of the innovative will return. Fanny Risa Chalfin

Spinner Conover Demonstrates Skills By LIZ BARROW

"Spinners always have the nicest ha nds, very sof t beca use they're constantly rubbing lanolin into them," explained Jean Conover. Every Friday from eight to four a woma n who has this kind of beautfful hands sits in McEwen TV· lounge, talking wit h students and facult y while demonstrating and explaining her ancient craft, spinning. She ha s been coming to Kirkland to spin once a week since September. "I decided I wanted to contribute some thing Ham ilton-Kirkland t he to community and I can spin, so that seemed the best thing to do," she said w hile showing a stud ent. how to use her wheel. "Now pull some more; keep at it. You're getting too much twist in it. Pull back. Le t that twist run up." Although Conover has only been spinning one and a half years, her yarn is very even and thin; the ability . to do this with the carded wool cylinders is the mark of a good spinner. Conover said sh e first became interested in spinning whe� she and her husband, · Donald C�nover, comptroller for Kirkland, d ecided to raise sheep. They have a 55 acre farm near Cazanovia that is very woody, "too sma ll to raise beef, but perfect for grazing sheep," explained Conover. They bought

five Corriedale sheep at a farm auction and were soon in bu siness. They now own 12 ewes and one• ram, each orie wit h it s own name and "very different" personali ties . The· names include Wooly Bear, Nanny, Stormy, Tweedle Dee (Tweedle Dum was sold), Darling, Ramrod, and R a mbunct ious . Last year, Conover ' took t wo spinning courses while waiting for her �heel to arrive from New Zealand. Al though the spinni;g guild in Cazenovia periodically orders a large number of the spinning wheel kits for in terested people, it takes three mont hs for the wheels to be delivered. Conover said the members hope eventually to get enough money to buy 10 extr a wheels so t hat there will be some on hand for imme_diate purchase. The New Zealand A s hford wheels are fairly sm a ll wit h wooden parts, standing about three feet from the floor, . compai.ed to the larger Canadian wheels, which are about four feet high and made e specially for spinning wool. The guild in Cazanovia meets once a month for a day to take . care of business, exchange dye recipes, spinning techniques, and shopping hints. The memhers are of J:>oth sexes and range in age from 10 to 80 years. Several have been spinning much of their lives and everyone has his or her own spe.cialty, said Conover. Teaching often goes on at the meetings as new members are required to

Drafting- pulling the wool to let the twist run into it r know how t o do certain t hings by the end of their first year. Among ot her skills, t hey learn how to identify fleeces from different kinds of sheep, the variations- of wool of t he different parts of the sheep's bodies, t he differences between carders (t he tool used to prepare t he wool for spinning), and how to dye with natural materials. Spinning is a craft that has been in existence for hundreds of year s. Anthropologists- postulate that the first spinning was done completely by hand, wi th no instruments. The drop spindle technique, operated by twirling the spindle wit h one hand while drafting with t he other was the second mamor stage in the development of spinning. This

technique

i s still used today in parts of the world. Even tually a wheel was developed in the -eighteent h century whereby one could operate a treadle wit h one foot and use both hands to work with t he wool. The Conovers • first sheared their sheep last spring. They chose to do so then . instead of during the traditional month of February because "February· is too cold to take off anyone's coat," said Conover. Alt hough professionals ca n shear sheep with elect ric shears _in five minut e·s, the Conovers took their t ime, being careful and tFying not to nick the sheep's d elicate skin wit h their m anual shears, and spending one and a half to two hours removing the wool from each sheep. The some

amoun t of wool tak.en from the sheep ranged from eight to 11 pounds. Once the wool is taken off the sheep, it may be spun "in the grease," that is, without washing it if it is clean. More likely it is carefully washed and carded. These fluffy sections of wool are then ready to be spun. Two or more spindles of yarn can be twisted t oget her in innumerable combinations t o get different effec ts. The wool can be dyed either before or after being spun. So if you have a few minute s of extra time some Friday, and come by t he McEwen TV lounge, you can watch Conover teach and explain her craft. She said, "As long as there's another spinner here, I'll be around."

Tenure StatementApproved by Hamilton ·Faculty

Please note: What fol/Olvs below are the .statements of policy approved by the Hamilton faculty at its meeting Tuesday. Each statement is preceeded by the nwtion for approval as recorded ;n the faculty-meeting minutes. The "Review of Current Non-tenured Appointments" was amended before approval; the resolution for amendment and the amendment follows the "Review of Current Nontenured Appointments.,_, Each of the three. motions for acceptance was made by Professor of Geology Donald Potter, chairman of the Expanded Committee on Appointments. The resolution for amendment of the "Review of Current Norztenured Appointments" was made from the floor.

MOTION On behalf of the Expanded Committee on Appointments, I move that the "Recommendations,for a Policy on Appointments and Tenure" be adopted by the Faculty and fo�warded to the President. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A POLICY ON APPOINTMENTS AND TENURE Preface Then� are two sets of criteria which bear on questions of appointment and tenure. l'he first deals with the competence of a candidat�. The second deals with institutional ,considerations. It ·is in the interest both of the institution and of candidates for appointments that the standards and procedures for making appointments and granting ��nure be made expli_cit at the ti�� or'each initial appointment. '

5. The criteria to be used in arriving at decisions on reappointment ?.nd tenure should be excellence in teaching, effective ·research, publication - interpreted broadly - and service to the academic and professional community, the first two being considered as necessary and the last two as desirable. The college will review and develop more specific procedl!res for evaluating a candidate's performance by these criteria" 6.

MOTION On behalf of the Expanded Committee on Appointmen_ts, l move that the following paragraphs be adopted as a guide for future revisions of the Faculty Handbook. CHANGES INFACULTY HANDBOOK The following paragraph, which summarizes the foregoing document, is jntended to be placed after the paragraph labeled . "Tenure Policy" on page 18 of the current Handbook. Besides the· normal probationary appointment, there are two types of limited pontenured appointments which may be made in special circumstances. One, the competitive appointment, is made to two or more faculty members in a single department with the understanding that not all can receive tenure. The other, the term appointment, is made with the understanding that there is no chance of tenure - that is, that the appointment will not exceed a stated maximutri term of years. When either of the two types of limited appointments are to be made, the nature of the limits of the -appointment will be stated explicitly in the ofter of the initial appointment.

Policy Recommendations I. Any nontenured appointment which is not otherwise designated (in the manner . explained in paragraphs 2 and 3) will c�rry the expectation that. reappointment and tenure will be granted exclusively on the basis of the fulfillment of the criteria stated in paragraph 5. Such appointments will be called: probationary appointments. 2. The President may, after consultation with the Dean, the Committee on Appointments, and the chairman of the department concerned, instruct the chairman to offer two or more taculty appointments with the understanding that tenure could be granted to some but not all of them. 1n such appointments, all parties concerned would understand that the merit of each appointee would be evaluated not only according to the criteria stated in paragraph �' but also relative to the merit of the others. Such appointments will be called competitive appointments. . 3. The President may, after consultation with the Dean, the Committee on Appointments, and the chairman of the department concerned, offer an appointment limited to a term of five years or less. Such an appointment would be understood by all parties concerned to carry no possibility of reappointment beyond the stated maximum term. Such appointments will be called term appointments. 4. It is the sense of the faculty that the normal nontenured appointment· will be ' a probationary appointment, and that competitive and term appointments should be justified by special institutional needs and circumstances.

This emendation o( the statement on p. 17 of the present Handbook is required to bring it into lin� with paragraph 5, above. RESOLVED: That 1t is the sense of the Faculty that the criteria to be used in arriving at decisions- on reappointment and tenure should be excellence in teaching, effective research, publication interpreted broadly - and service to the academic and professional community, the first two being considered as necessary 'and - the last two as desirable.. APPROVED

MOTION

On behalf of the Expanded Committee on Appointments I move that the policy recommendations entitled "Review of Current Nontenured Appointments" be adopted by the Faculty and forwarded to the President. • REVIEW OF CURRENT NONTENURED APPOINTMENTS It is the sense of the faculty that commitments offered by the College and accepted in good faith ma y not be altered. However, the faculty recognizes that some current nontenured appointments may contain· vague or ambiguous language .. Therefore, the President, the Dean. of the College, and the Committee on Appointments will meet . individually with each nontenured member of t�e present faculty to make sure that the ,terms of his appointment are clearly and consistently understood by all parties" This review will take place within the context of the current Faculty Handbook statement on tenure policy. After this meeting, the President, in a letter to the faculty member, will state the substance of the understanding which has been _ reached. Cop.ies of the letter will be sent to the Dean, the chairman of the department concerned, and the Committee on Appointments. However, if any faculty member believes that the involvement of the Committee on Appointments in this · review would endanger his privacy, he may request that the meeting be with the President and the Dean alone, and that a copy . of the letter not be sent to the Committee. AMENDMENT RESOLUTION .A resolution was made and seconded that the statement be amended by the addition of the following: I. If, however, there. is disagreement ·between the faculty member and the College concerning the terms of his appointment, the Committee on Appointments will <.;Jmmunicate to the President in writing its e;_",dc;standing of the College's commitment. Copies of _its letter will be sent to the faculty member concerned, the chairman of the 1 department concerned and the· Dean. After receiving this letter from the Committee on Appointments, the President will state the College's commitment in a ietter to the involved faculty member. Copies of that letter will be sent to the Dean and, unless the faculty member involved objects, to the Committee on Appointments and the chairman of the department conferned. · 2. Review Procedure • If, after completion of· the above procedures and before the end of the 1974-75 academic year, the faculty member still believes he has cause for grievance, he may petition the President, who at the next regular faculty meeting, will ask the faculty to elect an ad hoc Faculty Review Committee to -review st.ch cases. The Committee will consist of three tenured faculty :nembcrs, none of whom have had any previous 0f{icia� involvement in the cases. The Review Committee will decide whether or not the tacts merit a detailed i.1v�stigation, and, if such an investigation is deemed necessary, the Committee will determine the appropriate procedures for examining the case. The Committee may investigate both procedural ·and substantive matters, and will report in writing to the President. Copies of its report will go to the faculty member involved, ,the chariman of the involved department, the Dean and the Committee on Appointmentso .' The resolution to amend was approved. APPROVED

H.oCkey ·Team Storms to. J�CAC Fi_nals By STEVE HAWEELI If you haven't heard what the hockey team has been up to lately; then you 1re either deaf, dumb, and blind; or you've been off campus.

God · Keeps a List ,

FEINGOLD AND SHOEN

When I Was much younger, my teachers would tell rrie that God kept a list of everything you did for the whole ye¥ and, when the time came, weighed the two lists on a scale-the good list and the bad list. Whichever weighed more would determine when you wer e leaving this world and where you would go. This is if you are Je wish. Horace Stoneham should be very glad he isn't. Of all the investigations and inquiries_into the world of sp orts, of all the charges of corruption and big business in sport, the one great threat that baseball has that no other sport does is the owner of the San Francisco Giants. This man must sit in his office all day, playing with the sword that dangles over his team's yearbook. Within the past ten years, he has traded or sold ballplayers that, if they were ever allowed to play together for more than a season or so, would make many- teams smile with respect.

*****

Mr. Stoneham has traded or sold some of the best ballplayers to play during the last decade. Names like Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Jim Ray Hart, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda, Gaylord Perry, Bobby Bonds-all of these men were sold or traded (mostly sold) because Horace Stoneham needed money to pay for the rrµstake he made 18 years' ago-he· got trapped into playing- a high stakes 18-year game of Follow the Leader. The leader was Walter O'Malley, owner of the then Brooklyn Dodgers. O'Malley had deGided to move west to L.A. and old Horace decided that it would be too l_onely to play in New York all by himself as the only National League team (he probably didn't like the Yankees too much). The ep.d result of this game is: Walter makes a mint.and Horace loses his shirt. The Mets, dealt into the game five years later, also make a mint. Horace Stoneham is a threat to baseball because he is a terrible businessman. The purpose of baseball is to provide the b est competition you can (at least in the post-1919 era.). Horace doesn't do that. He thinks his team should be used like the Fords use their foundation =-giving charity to whoever needs it. A relative of mine is/ a Giant fan from way back. He loved them, going to Shea whenever the Giants were in town. We would poke fun at him during the glory years of the L.A. Dodgers, telling him that the Giants were always bridesmaids and never brides. He would laugh. and say, "Don't worry. Just wait till next year. Wait till you see who's coming from Phoenix. We just need a shortstop and another pitcher. Just wait." We waited, and so did he. The Giants would get their shortstop ·and their pitcher, but in the process would have to make·some money because the people of San Francisco were tired of waiting for a winning team, so Horace Stoneham sells a second base·man and a catcher. The people of San Francisco are much too impatient for Horace Stoneham. He tells them to wait one more year. They'll even wait five, ten years. But they won't do their waiting in the ballpark. Get them a.winner and then they'll go. Even that doesn't always work-ask Mr. Finley, Horace's next door neighbor.

*****

MacDonald in cbarge

My ·relative is supposedly still a Giant fan. There are many like him crawling the streets of New York, waiting for Bobby Thomson's ticker-tape parade. They might have to wait forever. Horace sold Bobby Thomson many years ago-for what nobody can recall. He couldn't have received the glory and memories that Thomrnn l?roduced with on�wing of the bat. "When they did that," :said my relative, "My heart sunk. l died."

President Purcell

The Hamilton Student Senate president is charged with leading an organization which has no legislative power over the college. The president is often doomed to frustration when Senate-recommended policy is r�jected or ignored by the faculty and-or administration. Similarly, the president must face increasing disinterest of students in the actual affairs of the college. A successful Student Senate president, then, must be able to both move the faculty and administration. He must also excite the interest of the students in the policy decisions 6f the college which affect them. Most importantly, a Student Senate president must have the imagination arid critical eye to discern those issues confronting the college about which student comment is essential. Bill Purcell, a former senator and chairman of the then-named Studc·nt Rights Committee, app-ears to be that candidate who w]l lead a vital., effective Student Senate. Purcell has demonstrated an understanding of the Hamilton governance structure and the possible means by which student sentiment can be effectively voiced. He has recognized that the Stlldent Senate-can, in defense of its policy recommendation;,, refer to legal decisions regarding civil liberties and the contractual rights of students. Further, Purcell recognizes that the Senate is free to lobby for support, not only its constituents, but among various factions in the Hamilton community. The candidate pointed in interview to a serious failure of the Senate in the past when he stated that the Student Curriculum Committee failed to adequately lobby for those proposals which have been rejected by the Committee on Academic Policy. The aims of the other two candidates, Tim Conner and Phil Mohtalvo, to improve communicatfon between the Senate, and students in an effo rt to improve the effectiveness of the Senate, are worthy. However, both candidates, based upon what they said in their platforms and in interview, take few concrete stands on issues, and thus, seem unlikely to arouse sufficient initial interest in their fellow students.. The Senate president, in the face of frustration and apathy, must carry, prod, and. push the Sen·ate and the student body. He must have a clear and critical view of what the Senate ought to do. Bill PurcelPs principled activism makes him the outstanding candidate for Student Senate president.

Kirkland Housing

The housing policy recently set by the Assembly is\a case in unfair discrimination against freshmen. There seems to be little justification for jeopardizing a freshman's sole possession of her double-sized room which she gains when her roommate happens to leave school or move to another dormitory. In suites, where most upper-classmen live in the secure priacy of single rooms all year, freshmen are usually the only students who must live in a double room. There is no such thing as luck for the freshman who,when she happens to gain full possession of her room, musf then risk losing it to an upper-class suitemate who may have her eye oh a little more square-footage.

more?'' (P. 50). The answer is YES. But the search for quality is not synomymous with consistently poor grades. Quality is finding and realizing the excellence of the work and grading accordingly. �ore than once I saw the comment, "Excellent work, B-". If the quality of the student at Hamilton is what it is proclaimed to be, then no excuse exists for the continued pattern of poor grades. All Hamilton pre-laws and pre-meds · will continue to face insurm ou ntable problems in gaining admission unless grades are made more realistic. The continued elitist and snobbish attitude of the administration and faculty in failing to realize that high quality applicants can come from schools besides the Ivy's and

Little Ivy's is nothing more than a continuing grand delusion. With 10-30 students applying for each available position at any law or medical school, it is unrealistic to b e l i e ve that any of their admissions officers are goil}g to take the time to learn or care about Hamilton's grading curve. Since grades and boards are the only criteria that these officers have upon which they can make pre lim inary decisions, most Hamilton applicants start with at least one foot in the grave. These graduate schools can fill th eir entire class with students whose applications are far superior, at least on paper, to those which can be presented by most Hamilton students. The statistics presented by the pre-law and pre-1p.ed advisor y boards f u r ther delude the administration. Until last year, no central pre-law advisory system existed and even with the system, not all of those who applied are accounted for. The pre-med system is even more self deluding. While 50 -60% of all pre-meds who do apply are accepted, this figure does not reflect all those w ho are advised not to apply 'or changed To the Editor: Description of the Organization their career goals on their own Robert Loughrey's letter which · Unit.

o the Editor: This is a follow up for you and the Spectator on the Mama Rosa story. The check I sent, which was kept a surprise, was presented to Rosa and the kids on Christmas day during dinner by a mutual friend. I imagine that some people at KC and HC have been wondering why they didn't hear about any response from Rosa about the money. That is the reason. Mail between here and Mexico is incredibly slow during this time of year. Enclosed is a letter she wrote for the Spectator. I would greatly appreciate it if you would please print it. Good luck this semester and in the future. Lisa Blank Dear Lisa: Before anything else, I want to apologize for not having written sooner. I had a series of problems th�t kept me terribly occupied. Now, everything is back to normal (if that is possible with so many kids) so here I am writing these lines to say hello and to thank you for everything you, and y ou r yo u r . f r i e n d s schoolmates have done for "La Gran Familia".

School Song 'Carissima' Sparks Grammar DebCJte

By BOB GRIEVES is haunting specter A Hamilton, the specter of grammatical revolt, for a problem of perplexing singularity has been brewing within the "Letters" section of the Hamilton Alumni R�view since the Summer 1973 issue. The problem involves a verb in the college song "Carissima," authored . by former J;>resident Melan-cthon Woolsey Stryker. "This whole affair is getting out of hand," exclaimed Public Rel ations Director George Newman, editor -of the Alumni Review. "I'm closing down the dialogue with our next issue." Leslie Moore, '24, wrote . a letter printed in the Summer 1973 Review in which he objected to the singular verb of the first line-"Dear is thy homestead, glade and glen." Moore moved that a plural verb be inserted: "Dear are thy homestead, glade

and glen." His suggestion did not go unheeded. Loyal to the Cause Pollution, war, economic recession and civil strife pl ag ue our globe, but Hamilton's loyal alumni took up Moore's gauntlet immediately. Henry Harlan, '53, wrote in the Winter.1974 issue of the Review: and ' B e tw e e n glad e glen there's no comma. So how many simp.le subjects are there in our complete subject-one (h o m e st ead) or three {homestead, glade, glen?) If there are three, they should, of course, take the verb are instead of is, unless the three nouns, together with ·and, really form ONE singular subject, like "Bailey, Bands andl -Biddle." ' (Dear, 0 Phiadelphia, is thy Bailey, ._ Banks and Biddle. De'ar, 0 Carissima,' "is thv homestead.

glade and glen...") ....Our glade and glen is either locative or appositive. Three other alumni also attempted to scale the empyrea� heights of rhetoric in the same issue. One alumnus proved once again that brevity is the soul of wit. Wrong is thy Leslie, grad and friend .... • · . (AP) Positiv�ly, Paul B. Boehm, '46. A Cause C�lebre Never one to let his pen lay idle, Moore bounced back with a rejoinder in the Spring 1974 issue. The verbal debate by this time had beeome something of a cause celebre within the pages of the Review. Moore proposed that the singular be retained, but that a footnote be added, explaining the appositive theory expounded by Harlan 'and others, so that "lesser breeds from academic homesteads elsewhere" could not accuse Hamilton of grammatical laxity .. Moore added thoughtfully that the footnote be set to music. The Fall 1974 issue of the Review carried the . dialogue somewhat beyond the sublime. Harlan objected to the analogy of Bailey, Banks and Biddle to a law firm: Though he did, I deplore, ignore my store, I adore Mr. Moore, whose epistles, for sure, never bore. Skinner Mediates As if that were not enough, Psychologist B. F. S'krnner, '26, swept up by the muddy waters of own offered his faction, prognosis: Has anyone thought of comRaring Prexy Stryker's Lath� version?

Melancthon Woolsey Stryker Cara sylvestris sedes stet. It is pretty clear th�t "glade and glen" is going the work of the adjective sylvestris and is · proh.ibly in apposition. · H erl!y F. Schoenflin '22. offered another note of reason: "It seems to me that Carissima is poetry and not prose. Therefore, the use of � should be considered poetic license." Several faculty members were asked their opinion: is or are? Mr. Wagner of the English Department at first allowed: "I'd •use 'is' jf 'glade and glen' were in

apposition." He theJl looked up homestead in the dictionary, found that not only the home itself, but the trees and land about the house are included in the definition of homestead, and said: "If 'glade and glen' were set off by a dash (Dear is thy homestead-glade and· glen) then it would work." Mr. Wagner paused a moment. "Why don't you ask Mr. Mar.ki?" he said. Dean Lindley '42, chose not to address the problem directly. "I don't even sing the song. I despise it. I think it's a dreadful song with Freudian overtones."

Hamilton GradeSystem Compares Favorably

Food Plan Modified; Sarn_e System By GUY ARCIDIACONO Service Systems will continue to provide food services to Hamilton and Kirkland students next year, although the colleges had considered bids from other food firms, according to Hamilton Dean of Students R. Gordon Bingham. Bingham sajd that of the companies with which the colleges Service negotiated, Systems offered "the best deal in terms of cost and quality." The other food c onsidered included firms Greyhound, Saga, and In_terstate. The colleges have agreed in principle on some financial details of the new food contract but contract talks will not be complete for several weeks, according to Bingham and William Jamison, Kirkland acting director of institiutional affairs. Board1 costs for Hamilton students have risen $37.50 per semester; the Kirkland price has not yet been decided. Ann l\lartin, director of food services, said there would be a change in the present meal plan option. Students on the IO-meal plan will be able to choose any ten meals each week, and this new plan would operate with a ticket system. Also, more students will be allowed the IO-meal option. Under the current plan, students on the IO-meal plan must restrict themselves to either breakfast and dinner or lunch and dinner, Mondays through Fridays. Changes in the steak-night and special night meals are being considered. This year's contract

_Heated Competition Signals Clinton Mayoralty Electi()n By STEFFI KALMIN

In the eighteen years that

Harlan Lewis, Mayor of Clinton, has been in office, he has been opposed for re-election once, and that ·was quite a while ago. This �1arch 17, the voters of Clinton will go to the ;:>011 s �d chose among three candidates. Why the sudden interest? "I don't know why," said Mayor Lewis, "there are no real issues." A motive he suggested was publicity. Opponent Brewerton Clarke could not be reached for comment but Gordon Jeffer,y had ample reasons· for entering the mayoralty race. Voter apathy and the lack of people working together were mentioned as two problems he hoped to cure. Figures for last year's election, Jeffery estimated, at about 32 votes and he pointed out that people 1300 approximately registereq this year as compared to 400 in the last ele,ction. ·

"I'm voting for the first time," admitted Robert Kinne, head of the Chamber of Commerce. The several changes that Jeffery sees necessary include transportation for senior citizens and a more accessible link between the town and its citizens. The Village Clerk's Office is """ . closed during lunch hour, the only-­ time, he feels, that working people are able to come in. Proposed, . along with more practical hours, is a bi-weekly G r i e v ance The D a y. transportation system provided by

the Utica Bus Lines is, in Jeffery's terms, "bad and infreguent." According to his figures, it would cost the town $3,000 less and pe more practical to start a van between Clinton and Ne\\'. Hartford. Jeffery has always resided in Clinton and is a graduate o"f Utica College with a bachelor's degree in Political Science. He has spent the past few years working for his father, an attorney. Courier Endorsement A member of numerous committees and organizations, including the Alumni Council of Hamilton College and the Community Relations Committee, headed by Kirkland Public Relations Director Cheryl Daly, Mayor Lewis has the experience of nine consecutive terms behind him as well as the Clinton Courier's endorsement. In the past eighteen years, Mayor Lewis said, five new homes have been built, three fire trucks purchased, and a new sewage treatment plant has be�n constructed. An attempt has been made to make the bus schedule and rates more attractive to the villagers. When asked to predict the outcome, Mayor Lewis would only ventu:re to say, "I expect a large turnout,"and "you never know which way they'll vote." '.

The hockey players, and the basketball players, and the swimmers compete just like anyone else does. One difference between the way they compete and the way a lot of other teams compete is that they win. They try their best, and they win. But, as someone said, nobody (nobody except a few people on a hill near somewhere) cares. Maybe it's wrong to ask for attention, but if the only time you get attention is when it's bad - well, it's time to start waving hands and screaming a little. Just a little.

Kirkland Tenure Decisions Imminent

Tenure decisions for seven Ki rkland faculty members are currently being considered by the - college administration, The Spectator has learned. All the final decisions will be handed down by April 15, according to President Babbitt. :

Application !rends Divergent Hamilton Down 15% ·

By NEIL CHENEY Total applications for admission to Hamilton were down 15 per cent this year due mainly to the country's depresssd economic situation, said Director of Admissions Christopher Covert. According to Covert, the decline from 1515 applicants last year to 1294 this year "all has to be looked at in the light of last year being the biggest year ever." In addition, Covert cited the economy as cutting into the college's applicant pool by forcing those "on the periphery" of attending Hamilton to choose other less expensive alternatives. Approximately 45 per cent of this year's applicants have been offered ..admission, compared to 39 per cent of last year's applicants who were offered admission" Covert is hoping for a freshman class next year totaling 250, down 20 from this year, giving the college an "optimum full enrollment" of 965. Covert denied that Hamilton is admitting more so-called "high risk candidates." Noting the success of many students attending Hamilton under New York's Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) in the past; Covert stressed the faith, the college has in those it ad.mits. Under HEOP, students who have been confronted with a poor environment for learning in high school are "put in an environment where they could be successful," said Covert, adding that the continued on page ten

Kirkland Up 15%

By SARAH McGREGOR Applications for admission to Kirkland are up 15 per cent over last year, .according to Molly Bartlett, acting director of admissions-at Kir�land. · Five hundred and seventy-eight' women applied, of whom 204 were accepted for the freshman class. Last year, 518 freshman applications were filed, The increase is partially due to a more intensive recruitment policy and more traveling to schools in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, Bartlett said. Only 43 transfer students applied to Kirkland this year, while the college received 67 transfer applications last year. This seems to follow a national trend of fewer transfer applications, Bartlett said; Bartlett said the acceptance · standards for each applicant are flexible and subjective, and early decision candidates are examined more rigorously than regular- decision candidates. ''We have five people in the [Admissions] office, five faculty members and five students reading applications and all of them look at the candidates differently," , Bartlett said o Lower SAT's She also said that SAT scores seemed lower than two or_three years ago. Last year's mean SAT score was 585 for math and verbal. The mean s(ore of this year's applicants has not yet been determined. continued on page ten

The seven faculty being c o nsid er e d are: Assistant Professor of Literature Heinrich Stabenau, Instructor in History Jerrold Townsend, Assistant Professor of Sociology Walter Broughton , Associate Professor of Psychology David Begelman, Assistant Professor of Psychology Sandra DeMyer-Gapin, Associate of Printmaking, P rof e s soi: Drawing, and Painting Robert Muirhead, Assistant Professor of 'Music Alan Heard, and AssistaR{ Professor of Ceramics Robert Palusky. Because official deliberadons are confidential, complete repoi:;ts on this year's tenure decisions w er e not available; but well-informed sources and several of the faculty members who are up for tenure have .supplied information to The SpectatoF. Of the two members of the Humanities Division considered · this year-S ta b e nau and Townsend-Stabenau said the college has denied him tenure. Townsend refused comment until May 1. Some observers of the say that tenure situation Townsend's chances for tenure-if not already decided finally-may be hurt by the fact that he does not have his doctoral degree yet. No Explanation Stabenau said he has received written notification from Lh.e college that he has not received lenure. The notification, he said, included J!O explanation,Stabenau, who was also not recommended positively by his division, said the decision was "the college's" and he does not know what recommendations were made by President Baboitt, Dean Frazer and the individual committee members. Stabenau said he has requested the reasons for the decision. The literature professor said the decision "was, of course, complete and thorough." When asked if the process and decision were fair, he said, "I can't answer that yet." In the Division of Social sociologist Walter Sciences, Broughton said that he too was denied tenure by the college, but

d e dined further comment. Broughton was Kirkland's research professor, 1973-74. Along with Broughton, in Social Sciences,DeMyer-Gapin and the division's cliairman, David Begelman, are up for tenure. Both refused comment. Regelman said, ''This is confidential. It goes to the office of academic affairs. They are the proper ones to release it." ' A reliable source reported that both Begelman and Broughton were recommended for ten�e by the division, but that Begelman'& r ecommendation was more positive than Broughton's. However, it is known that D e M yer-Gapin wa s not recommended for tenure by the d i v i s ion.

Next year the colleges will follow policy recommended jointly by [vy League schools and MIT" The Ivy proposal generally will more exp e ct p ar e ntal contribution than CSS and less parental contributions than HEW, Kogut said. Previously, all three financial aid guidelines {CSS, HEW, and Ivy) had been _similar. In an effort to elevia te the financial burden on the family, CSS this year i s sued

recommendations for parental contributions which were "way too low" and "out of line," said Kogut.

Tenure: I

.. - --Hard--Timis Hamilton vs. Buckley?

How does a faculty· member get tenured at Kirkland College? Well, it is not easy. The ...college is apparently pursuing· a policy of tenuring only the very best among its professors, and that aim is to be lauded. However, tenure decisions are such that an intangible system of valuation must be brought to bear on the professors at hand. The criteria, no matter how concisely stated, are, by definition, sufficiently broad to preclude the introduction of a set formula for making tenure decisions. And that's the way it should be. But major questions, thus, remain: what is excellence? what is professional iadvancement? Furthermore, can one help but impose different standards 'in each tenure decision? The, disclosure of two tenure decisions at Kirkland raises' immediate and long-term questions for the 'college. Both Assistant Professor of Literature Heinrich Stabenau and Assistapt Pro_fessor of Sociology Walter Broughton have been denied tenure. Although neither has yet announced whether he plans to appeal the denial, more negative decisions for other faculty being considered are likely to produce unrest, if not outright :revolt, on the part of both the faculty in question and the colleagues with whom they enjoy professionally reciprocal relationships. It is not clear that any of these problems can ·b� avoided, but they must· be anticipated. The college administration-particularly th� dean of _academic affairs and the president-ought to take steps now to ease the institutional strain that the nation-wide tenure crunch is certain to provoke here. The first of these constructive steps should be to do away with some of the secrecy that now shrouds individual tenure decisions from start to finish. Students and faculty should be told why their teachers and colleagues did not measure up to institutional criteria when the decision is made, if the faculty member consents to public disclosure. , The criteria do not speak for themselves. Student supporters of DeMyer-Gapin 's want to know why a person whom they consider an excellent instructor does not measure up when pedagogy is so important at Kirkland. Why was s·tabenau turned down when activity in th� college community is important and he has served this year as chairman of the Assembly Steering Committee? And why was Broughton, who was awarded the Kirkland Research Professorship 1973-7 4 also denied a permanent position at the college when professional advancement is � important criteria? The time has come for the dean and president to stop spewing the rhetoric of tenure, namely that these decisions are delicate, sensitive, · and confidential, with wide institutional ramifications that will influence the college for years to come. That kind of talk is growing over-used and meaningless. In light of the abnormally large number· of tenure · decisions now being made, Kirkland administrators and faculty ought to join in a cooperative effort to relate the abstract standards espoused in college documents to th,e very real decisions that come up. Such a move would be helpful not only to faculty who will come up for tenure in future years, but also to students who are baffled by Vl(hat sometimes can seem like duplicity on the part of committees and administrators involved in these necessary, but agonizing, personnel decisions.

A · Lasting Influence This is the first issue of The Spectator in two years for which Henry Glick '75 is not serving as managing edito� Having held the second highest position on The Spectator longer probably than anyone else in the newspaper's history, Glick's influence has been great. The managing editor-besides helping to determine newspaper policy in all areas-is chiefly responsible for the composition and layout of The Spectator each Thursday night. It is he who coax.es, teaches, directs, and pushes an enthusiastic, if sometimes disorganized, staff through to our 8 a.m� deadline. Glick, in his nearly three years as a senior editor, has provided continuity as other staff, including editors-in-chief have come and gone. Now, too, his advice and expertise will be sought often. Editors-in-chief receive public exposure-both accolades and criticism. However, the managing editor is always hidden from the public eye, and his authority often falls shy of his responsibility� As new editors assume larger duties on The Spectator, we publicly acknowledge the work of not only former editors Fred Bloch and Mitchel Ostrer, but also of Henry Glick-whose commitment to the very highest standards of newspaper journalism at Hamilton and Kirkland has never wavered.

Small controversies have a strange habit of mirroring more general and significant attitudes. One such controversy in our own community concerns the so-called "Buckley Law" and Hamilton College's negative attitude toward it. The law itself and its ramifications have been described previously in The Spectator. Passed last term by Congress and signed by President Ford, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act is a long-0verdue declaration of students' right of access to any files maintained on them by their college. Before the law's passage, a college had the right to withhold from a student such items'which ap: kept o nf i l e as admissions material, copies of c o r r e s p o nd�n c e , tran scdp t s , l e t t er o f recommendation, and any comments by professor or school officials. A college is now required to submit. such items to inspection by the student in quest.ion within 45 days of a formal request. I do not know what, if any, reasons there are for a stu{i.ent at Hamilton or Kirkland to request such information. The right ,to do so, however, should not be taken lightly. For example, take the recent "S-check" issue at Brown University. Students at Brown who examined their files pursuant to the new law in some cases found that the ''S" on their transcript, standing for Satisfactory in a Pass/Faill course, was accompanied by a check. It turned out that professors, without students' knowledge, had been adding a check to Pass/Fail marks when they felt the student had done excellent work. The idea was to aid graduate school admissions offices in evaluating Pass/Fail grading. But the effect, of course, was t� subvert the entire philosophy behind Pass/Fail grading by creating different levels of "Pass". The Brown Civil Liberties Union chapter took the university to task for the "�-check" system, and won. Without the Buckley Law, students could conceivably have been kept unaware of the "S-check" grading. On returning from vacation, Hamilton'. students found in their mailboxes a three page memorandum from Dean of Students R. Gordon Bingham explaing the new law. Instead of being an objective statement of facts and alternatives, the mermrandtun

letter of recommendation on the sole grounds that you have not signed the waiver." The impressions given by this statement is that a student is probably better of f waiving his right. Hamilton seems in effect to be saying that it wants its students to forfeit their lawful right of examination of letters of recommmendation. The law requires only that the college annually tell its students "what kind of information is kept about them, where the records are kept, which official, normally have access to them, why they have access, and what procedures the inst:itutxn folhws if students want to challenge any 'information in the records." The law does not require that the college counsel its students to sign a waiver. Yet, Hamilton has in effect done exactly that. Why? The logic of Hamilton's stance is difficult to comprehend. It is claimed that many professors ''believe _they cannot be fully candid" in their recommendations if those letters are accessible to students. Why not? If a _professor cannot be honest

11---=======t:r= 1""1-0-----1

in communicating to the student his candid views as expressed in the letter of recommendation, it seems that professor is not qualified to recommend that student. What is the professor trying to hide? Why is full c'indor impossible under the condition of student access? What in a recommendation must a professor protect from the eyes of the student? What other than negative comments about the student? But a professor should not be writing negatively about a student in a recommendation. If he feels that he must comment negatively, he should tell the student that . he cannot write a positive recommendation. Under normal circumstances, most students · would have no desire or need to examine letters of recommendation written on their behalf .. However, the college's negative reaction to a student access law raises a question which would not otherwise arise: whether there really is anything to hide in those letters; ,an d students, as a result of that reaction will, and should, retain their right of access and exercise it. The right of access to recommendations now appears to be an important s tud e n t s afeguard against a faculty and administration which seem reluctant to conduct business openly. is in large part an attempt to persua,de students to The reaction of both faculty and administration sign a waiver of their right to see letters of to the Buckley Law, as expressed in Dean Bingham's recommendq.tion for employment and for graduate memorandum, is a disappointing display of mistrust and professional sch9ols. The very concept of and of an Ivory Tower mentality. The particular "waiving" a right should always be greeted issue of student access may not be an earthshaking dubiously, but what is upsetting is the bias by the one, but the reaction of the college is important in college in its explanation of the waiver.

Others, however, believe they cannot be. One further thought: Why is it that students will fully candid if their letters may be seen.

Don't Let Me Be MisunderstQOO· To the Editor: I would like to clarify some of the misunderstanding surrounding Committee's Residence the proposals which were passed at the Assembly meeting of March IO, and reported on in the March 14 issue qf_The Spectator. First, the Special Interest Housing P roposal, passed fn Dece_mber, stated that special interest groups were to be housed in Milbank or B Dorm. The purpose of the amendment to the December proposal was to provide a means for housing coeducational special interest groups in buildings other than Milbank or B, if state health regulations precluded their T he t h er e. pIa c em e n t amendment's purpose was not to preclude such placement, as was in correctly reported in the article. The other proposals were recommended in order to obtain Assembly approval of, and to inform students of ,some housing policies which had been in effect informally in the Student Affairs Office during this semester. The priority system described in items two and thr�e of "Residence Committee Report to Assembly" is intended for midyear room �ent and any other room changes during the year. This system gives priority according to class year. The article of March 14 would lead one to believe that the same priority applied for the spring lottery. This is not the case--a different priority system, intended for the lottery, is described clearly in the document, at Pro cedures "Ro oming Kirkland." At this time, priority is given· first to student advisors, second to seniors, and third to sophomores and juniors together. The primary purposes of the portion of the report dealing with freshwomen and double singles were 1) to remind fresh women of the possibility that they would be assigned another roommate and 2) to try to abate a situation in which students thought they could easily obtain a double single

Figures from the Student among the students involved in Affairs Office show that, in 60% such situations. were proposals of the cases, freshwomen retain�d ' Th ese to response in their old room as double singles. introduced This was as a result of a process in complaints by students that they which the students in each suite were uninformed of what sort of or half floor (in which a system was being followed for freshwoman ended up with a midyear room changes. :The double single at the beginning of committee wished to institute the spring semester) decided on consistent procedures for room their own whether or not any assignment, in an attempt to allay room changes would be made· the future possibility of students within their living unit.

President Montalvo: 'My Job Is To fu"itiate� and Stimulate'

By THOM AS BECK Newly-elected· Student Senate President Philip Montalvo '7 6 outlined, in an interview with The Spectator, the problems he plans to grapple with during his one-year term �hich will begin soon. Montalvo said he sees his job as bas i c a l l y that of coordinator-administrator. "My JOb is to initiate and stimulate, to bring forth policie� · to get the Senate working. Montalvo said to succeed in his efforts he must work with the three groups in the college community - the students, the Senate and the administration and faculty. As a senator I was concerned with students and with the Senate. As president, I will be more concerned with getting information from the Senate to the administration and back to the Senate." Montalvo said he doesn't forsee any structural changes in the �nate' next year. Meetings will continue to be held every two weeks, but,he added that it's not how many times the senate meets, because the meetings are 9rimarily to let the senators know what is going on on the campus. What is important is what the senators do between the meetings, Montalvo said. Needs Students to. Help Montalvo said he is interested in getting people who are willing t o war\<..

Montalvo expects the Senate·to be cautious but optimistic in its· relations with the faculty, he said. He, pointed to the recently published Curriculum Committee Course Evaluations as an area where there should be greater student-faculty coordination. "Wh_y should there be two sets of questionnaires?

One of the things � that makes Harper's work so interesting is. that his lively deployment of images, paced by rhythms derived fr<;>m jazz, often conceals the fact that many of the poems are elegiac. Throghout the evening, poems about such pioneers as John Coltrane, Charlie Parke:c, Jackie Robinson, and Alice Walker were read.

As the author of six full-length collections, H arper has been as much praised for the consistency of his work as notorious for publishing so much of it. He is also the first Black poet since Imaru Bar�ka (Leroi Jones) to appeal widely both to Blacks and whites. The reason for this_is quite simple : he is a moralist who refuses to proselytize.

changing feelings in society as a whole. "Being a folksinger , is a lonely lifeo'' McClatchy, seeming to think aloud, went on to talk about women in our society coming from a sheltered life which in�kes it harder for a woman to be lonely "There's also a stigma of going to the local bar, but it gets better when you return, Going cross-country I was pulling into truckstops to have a cup of coffee and a _pie on the way to wherever I'm· going," she said, when discussing the travelling musician's introduction to new towns. 0

Though women are just now being freed from such social stigmas, it's still hard. One major problem is raising children.

But in the seventies the word is honesty and roots, not frantic social protest.

Alumni To - Lecture On,-· Meditation

Once in the morning and once in the evening does it. That's how two alumni of Hamilton and Kirkland describe transcendental meditation. What does TM do? The claimed benefits are too many to mention, but among them are the following: faster reaction time, increased perceptual ability, increased lear n ing a b i l i t y, i m proved aca d e m i c a n d athletic performance. Becky Eddy, Kirkland Class of 1974, -a nd J�hn Osborne, Hamilton Class of 1974, are both new professional instructors in TM. They spent six months with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Germany learning their skills, and they will be on the Hill Monday April 14 with the first of two lectures on TM' . The lectures will be followed by a four-day course, April 19-22. And, as Osborne said, "Everyone is an expert meditator after the course." According to Eddy and Osborne, there really is nothing to TM. In seven steps, covered during the four= day sessions, anyone' can learn to meditate in a state of "restful alertness." In this state, which Herbert Benson of Harvard Medical School has called a ·"fourth state of consciousness,"

Dwight Lindley, Acting Dean of the College, has announced that David Backus '75, has been awarded a fellowship for graduate study in economics by · the Nat ional Science Foundation � (NSF). Backus said that the award guarantees him complete funding for three years of graduate study. He said that the graduate school he attends will receive $3,000 from NSF to cover tuition. In addition, Backus said he will received $300 a month for expenses. The only restrictions placed on him by the foundation, Backus said, are that he not hold a job or commit treason during this period of study and that he progress satisfactorily. T h e Na t i o n a l Science Foundation is an independent gover nm ent a ge n c y w h ich supports a vast variety of projects and programs for the study and the professional and adult advancement of science in all its population. There are 500,000 a s p ects. There were 5,773 meditators in the United States applicants for 550 awards given, now, and 10,000 new recruits Backus reported. Thirty-four of these were awarded in the area of start the practice each month. Osborne said there is a simple economics, he said.

By JUDY JOFFE Jesse Zellner, the new director of publications at Kirkland, is currently planning next year's edition of Particulars. He said it will strive to be a ••full document that reveals as much about the school as possible.- There is a strong likelihood that we will convert to the favored tabloid format." · Particulars is designed for the prospective of r e cruitment students. 'The 1974-75 issue, which appeared in soft-co:ver book form, rather than is last year's tabloid newspaper format, was widely criticized. "This year's edition· was not as satisfactory as the previous issues," President Babbitt said. "The catalogue didn't carry one main tone throughout but several different ones." · Last Year's Edition Zellner said the 1974-75 issue was not as effective in inviting ·readership- as some of the ones before, and it failed to convey to the outside world the same impressions of the college that were felt on �ampus." selection poor A of WEAVER' S LIQUOR �TORE

Hamilton swimming ended its best season ever, as they stroked their way to an eighth place finish in the NCAA Division III Diving Swimming a nd Championships held at Allegheny College. Last year only Coach MacDonald and Breaststroker Jeff Carlberg took the big trip to the Nationals.

The uniforms of the players have changed, but the National League East's teams will still be a five-team race. New York, with its new no-pitch, all-hit look gave Philadelphia a reliever while Montreal and Pittsburgh strenthened their pitching staffs with Dave McLucky and Sam McDowell. lri. the A:rperican League East, trades have also been a factor in strengthening all of th� teams. Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Boston are all g_ood chances to finish in first place, ahead of the f�vorite. And this year, for a change, Baltimore is even rated to give the favorite a run for its money.

This year, many critics feel that the Yankees have a chance to take it all, a 5-3 chance. And for two people who felt that they had a chance when Andy Kosco was their cleanup hitter and Bobby Cox was their best rookie, we finally have a feeling of what it was like to - be a fah of the legendary Bronx Bombers.

(They also have Dick Allen waiting to "pencil his name in the lineup,"but that's another story). The names say it all. These ballplayers are among the finest in the American League. They can hit, they can pitch, they can field--what more do you want from a baseball player? The only thing comparable to this lineup is having one Babe Ruth.

Anonymous Summer Travel Grant Kept Quiet for Over 10 Years

. Since the· early sixties, an anonymous donor h�s aJ!nually provided funds for a Hamilton senior to be used for travel folJowing his graduation. This year, the recipient of the award, John E merson, has received $3,500for summer travel. The gift is by far the largest dispensed to an undergraduate by the college, and yet no one.knows about it except the recipient,, President Carovano, and Professor

of Government Channing B, , himself as the "continuity" in the college as R ichardson. The only public award proc'ess, attention the award is ever given is presidents have come .and gone a brief announcement each year at since the award's inception. In addition, this award is not C l a s s a n d C h a r t.e r D a y listed in the catalogue. This is proceedings. President Carovano said he largely because the award is given knows little. about the gift, but on a year-to-year basis with no added that the donor wishes to formal endowment which would preseIVe his anonymity. He said guarantee its continuance. As it he has only acted as a go.between stands n'ow, the donor notifies the for the donor and Professor college each year as to whether R i c h ardson , who d escribed the money will be made available. Richardson said he hopes to have the gift formally funded sometime in the future. T h e v i c e p r e s i d e nt for development, Joseph Anderson, •vhose office normally handles such matters, also knew nothing about the award, He said he did not wish to pursue the donor at this t i m e to formalize his generosity. The gift has apparently been handled over the years solely through t h e office of the president. Acting Dean of the College, Dwight N, Lindley, _also said he kn.ows nothing of the award, as did A s s o c i a t e Dean Robin Kinnd, who organizes Class and Charter Day award ceremonies. This year's recipient is John Em erson , a philosophy major, Emerson said he plans to use the money to take an extensive tour of Europe and to publish several "light" articles on his travels. Last yeat, Gordon Kaye was the recipient. Kaye, a government major at Hamilton, is now studying at the Woodrow Wilson School for Internati,mal Affairs.

Prof Norman B�wie · Reiigns, Moves APA

BY JOHN M. McN EEL Associate Professor of Philosophy Norman E. Bowie, who brought the na tional offices of the American Philosophical Association (APA) ·to this campus three years ago when he· becaJlle executive secretary, will leave Hamilton after the spring semester when the APA moves its headquarters to the University of Delaware. Bowie announced his resignation in a letter released this week� His departure will open a position on a small department w4ich has been strongest i n p o l itical and social philosophy, the specialties of both Bowie and fellow Associate Professor Robert Simpn. P-rofessor Russell T. Blackwood, chairman of the philosophy department, said that 'they would be looking for "so m eone t h a t didn't d uplicate specialties w_e already have," in filling the spot Jvacated by Bowie. J ob Search On A job d escription released to applicants says that the position requires "competence in l}istory of philosophy, (and) specialization in fields other than s ocial-po l i t i ca l-m or a l p h i l o s o phy, philosophy of religion, existentialism or phenomenology." The full-time position

will be non-tenurable.

Blackwood said he hopes to select someone by mid-May, which he hopes will avoid some registration difficulties.· The APA's move to Delaware will put the organization in a permanent home. Bowie recommended to the AP A last October that it settle in permanent headquarters near New York City and Washington, D.C. 'We wa,nted to find a university within easy access of the cities with available office space that would take on the executive secretary as a faculty­ meml;>er," explained Bowie. Bowie will ass:ume the position of Vi s iting A ss o c iat e Prof e s s or of P h i l o s o p h y at the Univeristy of Delaware. He will have no option for tenure, but will remain at the school as long as he "remains executive secretary of the �A and in good behavior."

He is presently teaching a Philoso__phy of Law course, after teaching Distributive Justice and History of Philosophy in the fall. Bowie, who was -appointed to the faculty in 1969, said yesterday that he continued on page eleven

Norman E: Bowie

Stable Economics The likely resignation of Assistant Professor of Economics Robert C. Allen, compounded by ambiguous comments concerning Instructor Germina Lubega's future by Professor and Department Chairman Sidney Wertimer, will mean continued instability in course offerings. Constant staff changes preclude comprehensive curricular planning for economics majors, and hamper the department's own efforts in strengthening the use of its faculty. The department has had some bad luck. One of their professors, J. Martin Carovano, became provost and then president, leaving Public Finance untaught for three years. Former Assistant Professor William Snead decided to go to law school. Others presumably left involuntarily. The rapid turnover has left Wertimer the only tenure� faculty member in the four-person department. Considering this turbulent recent past, it is necessary for the Department to take stock of itself, and decide what courses are to be offered. Public Finance is a necessary requirement, and it is hoped that Allen's replacement will be competent in that field. It is also important that Professor Wertimer give special attentfon to hiring someone for the department at the associate professor level for whom tenure should be offeted within two or three years -of appointment. Such a person, perhaps an impressive assistant professor, could be enticed· to Hamilton with the larger salary an associate professor draws. Professor Wertimer, of course, might not be able to depend solely upon applications for the position from advertisements. Indeed, _ under the circumstances, it would be wise for him to actively, seek an instructor at another institution with both teaching experience and a good reputation as professor and scholar. With the tenure crunch in higher education it should not be impossible to find an. excellent and experienced professor who has little chance for tenure at his present institution. More importantly·, he could help adjust the uneven age distribution in the Hamilton Economics Department, and provide some curricular continuity in the future.

In Order to ·Be Fair

The disclosure of the $3500 summer travel grant clandestinely awarded this year to John Emerson raises important questio ns about the process by which that award has been given for the past number of years-. Emerson's qualifications are many. But by keeping the award a secret,· the college has eliminated the opportunity -for students to apply and compete openly for this award the most lavish given out by Hamilton. Though it makes some �nse to select the recipient from the Watson applicants since . all those students are presumably interested in international travel, other students who could not afford' to take a full year 'away because of graduate school or employment commitments ought to have the chance to compete for this grant. , Moreover a special review committee should be set up comprised of the dean of the college and several faculty members, and the entire faculty should be encouraged to nominate students for the award. · Now, Professor Richardson handles the selection single-handedly; an open application process, however, requires more faculty involvement in the review process. The donor's request of anonymity can still be maintained while allowing public competition and announcement of the generous grant. It is hoped that if � the donor renews his offer next year, the college and Professor Richardson will find a fair and open method for awarding this honor.

Plum Sutra By Katherine Moore I. Evqything is new. Think of it. Everything is new. J.P. (Sartre) was sitting in the Pub tonight digging the floor show and noted that pleasure is self-defeating; pleasure is the death of desire. Think of it - pleasure is the death of desire. And what is desire but a stream, a torrent of motivation that pours from an undefinable, subconscious holy place. Compulsion to live. drive fast. never say die. don't apologize for anything. Shoot whatever is ·available into existing veins and head for the ultimate. Desire is subliminal but not subject to repression. To be conscious of something is to make contact with it. To feel something one must experience it. Yet there is desire and satisfaction. Activity and completion. The tension between desire and satisfaction is a creative one, the energy for creative activity, for all activity, for existence itself. Once satisfaction is achieved, motivation dies. Once desire is 9vercome, activity stops. Thus hedonism (basic life style of college student) is the total expression of desire and its fulfillment. sounds o.k.

logical direction was gone. So I reconsidered said energy - ran around outside looking for the moon, detecting signs of spring and finally fell into the mud, experiencing an enlightenment of sorts: in balance lies the answer, the coming together of the complete hedonistic and the total intellectual.

•Directions: The next time you are horny, instead of

looking for obvious outlets consider for a minute the abstract intense energy which if you cut off from its one compulsive narrow direction is a cosmos of possibility. Instead of getting laid write a poc:m. Read Kerouac or Kierkegaard. Ideas are beautiful ("people are very very fantastic." - A. Warhol) - grab some of them, acknowledge desire but do not satisfy it (at least not yet) . Take it furthe!. Explore what consciousness means. Be a student of yourself. Once you turn in the paper its all over. So never finish it. Tum it in but never finish it. Fool yourself and everyone else. We can be students - hedonistic but intellectual, complete bµt never totally fulfilled, lost in that flame of desire

II. So what's the problem? Did you read Julie Weinstein's' letter to the editor last week? Or the cheeky Scarlet Plume essay? Do you believe jesus died for your sins? (they're all you own.) What they demand is the opposite of hedonistic (but after all truthful) pursuit of reality. They want intelligence. Intensity. Virtuosity. Cohdivenss. Thought.

""THE-- SPECTATOR:•

At -Home Abroad To the Editor: Well, Hamilton College's Junior­ year in France program is moving toward the close of an interesting and highly successful year, marred only by the dwindling value of the dollar. : With the perfect combination of classes, activities, visits, and family life here, we've all b e en exploring and appreciating the differences and shµilarities between the American and the French cultures. We've given a lot of ourselves during this exploration, and· I think the French people we've come into contact with have discovered from us as much as we've discovered from them. 'We've got a "continuous" learning program here, spiced with a French "joie de vivre" that of ten replaces any thoughts of home-the past or the future-with the realization that life is the present and now is the best time to take advantage of it. Courses here can be chosen on the basis of one's major and often are structured to supplement the advantages unique cultural available in Paris-architecture, plays, painting and sculpture, concerts (among others). Speaking French is certainly easier than it was at the start of our "sejour," down in Biarritz. In reading, I notice quite an improvement: I have· to con�ult my dictionary only once or✓ twice per chapter, rather than five or six times per pa.ge (no, I don't skip words!). Half the problem was ]earning to think in French. But I went too far-now I dream in French, too, and keep my roommate awake at night by SRouting a phrase or t,wo in French "every time I turn over.

'Well, We'll Study it'

By Bill Purcell You figure it out, I sure as hell can't. You want to live off campus. Well there. are too many empty slots. Rooms at Hamilton, rooms at Kirkland, and rooms at Dean Bingham's house all empty. If y ou're married, the college admits that North Dormi�ory is not a safe place to raise children. If you're still single, however. the �ollege doesn't want you to live off campus because the trustees believe that this should be a · residential college. A place where everyone learns from living on top of e·ach other" One might question the desirability of the trustees inflicting their mores on students, but let us skip over that. The real kicker is that even the mores of trustees can be overcome by the lottery fetish. If you agree to enter a lottery, you may get door number two and live off campus" But, it all gets stranger.

Very few at Hamilton and Kirkland have ever experienced hunger - large appetites, yes, but hunger, no.

By overeatingWednesday and Friday, one could completely nullify the purpose of the fast which was to help us realize the bounty we feast upon daily. I do not completely agree with this mode of consciousness raising, but I do recognize it as one alternative. I empathize with anyone who felt pressured to fast.

Removal Of Porch Raises Issue By KENNETH GROSS Ghastly or wonderful, Silliman Hall is something that could only have been built in the late 19th century. It is certainly one of the most remarkable buildings on the Hill. The massing of gables, turrets, roofs and windows shifts as one circles the house; at each cha�ge in point of view; the shadows rake across its variagated surface at angles - which rotate as the sun moves in an arc. Di f f e r i ng w indow shapes a n d placements reveal the multiplicity of interior spaces, stairs, halls, offices and meeting roomf.: -. stone arches, brick arches and rusticated lintels. The fact of its rich brick surface means it breaks up the sometimes monotonous repetition of sandstone that faces the great part of Hamilton's buildings (Original mortar for the surface was colored red, but plain mortar used in recent repairs gives the impression, said Associate Professor of Art, Rand Carter, of its h a ving a d e r m a t o logical problem). Architectural rhythm lies not only within buildings, but between them. Religious Meaning Silliman was originally built as a YMCA in 1888, and use of an architectural vocab ular y drawn from m edieval romanesque churches (square columns,

round stone arches, massive blocks of simple geometry) were employed to give it proper religious associations. However, if its oddities strike modem spectators, it is not likely that its purported "evangelical abandon" will. But as Profes.5or of Art Emeritus Paul Parker assures us, in a discussion pf Hamilto:i architecture in a 196� Alumni Review, to the sensitive

conte mporary· century observer, the building would have "announced -with b r ick its low church, IJ.On-sectarian purpose at the same time its round-headed w indows a n d a r c hes advertised a P ro t es tant rather than a Catholic quasi-religious structure." ' But someone took the porch off. According to Gerald Leuikin, director of

_Kirkland Dance: New Prografns Limited

By STEFFI KALMIN T h e Ki rkland dance program is incorporating some new directions, new c o u r ses and a few new Hamilton participants. But some students aspiring toward a career in dance performance complain of a lack of competition, expertise and supervision. ''We'd like those who are interested in dance to do something in it for the rest of their lives," said M ary Jane Warner, assistant professor of dance . 'We must give students enough academics to get into graduate school and jobs. Very few become professionals." This year six students are participating in an independent study in methods of teaching dance, which involves helping to teach courses and discussing the different problems a teacher encounters. Courses in labanotation, the shorthand of re�ording dance on paper, provide further ways in which a student can enter the dance world, other than that of ·the performer.

"Everyone is serious about working their what it is like in the professional world."

In order to involve more students, the Kirkland program has been less rigorous dance program is initiating a course in than necessary in order to develop the type of dancer who is able to survive Introduction to Dance next spring, which will teach various techniques and give an amidst stiff competition. _Fred Locke '77, a �ancer.z. deci�ed to overall intorduction to the study of dance. ''We're not here just to offer dance to dance candidates," said Ms. Warner. If space is available in Kirkland Loft, she s p e c u lated student-taught community classes might be offered for a slight fee. This plan has yet to be approved by the Arts Division and President Babbitt_. H a m i l ton students are becoming inc rea s ingly involved in the· - dance program, Approximately eight men are c u r r e n t l y e n r o l l e d in cl_a s s e s , predominantly at the basic level. "Often men who come into dance late are so enthusiastic about taking it that they make up for the lack of experience," observed Warner.

Male Dancers Locke, who began dancing last year, was inspired by a fellow male student dancer, "In terms of physical demands;in terms of pure strength, it demands concentration_ The same as athletics you have to work hard and should, be exhausted by the end of class - like hockey or soccer," he said. · While dance is an accepted form of exercise for women, male students enjoy other athletics, few of which are recommended for dancers. Warner said , this forces male dancers to hesitate more than females before taking a course. Locke agrees. "If I wasn't good and I was making a fool out of myself I wouldn't do it," he said.

Was the possibility of total restoration considered, or were- any measured drawings made before ,the porch was demolished? Silliman is one building •in the more general concern over how much aesthetic interest persons on the Hill should take to a n y of i t s important architectural, moments. The Past is Irreplaceable It is certainly tr�e that masons and carpenters cannot be found today to execute the kind of careful brick, stone, and wood work that graces a building like Silliman, especially at a reasonable cost. Would new buildings be any more successful or functional ( disregarding the inevitable possibility of their being boring architecture.)? ' Sham architecture, aluminum siding and nylon shutters on otherwise well standing 18th-century frame houses is equally unacceptable. Such plans have been 1 mentioned for the Root Art Center. The buildings lose all spirit, which leads to as much or more architectural stagnation than an earlier time's trying to reproduce in universities the already somewhat debased Gothic forms of Cambridge and Oxford. There is a middle ground between the crumbling ancient and the trim modem. It is not purely a matte_r of old and new, but of good old and bad new, or vice-versa.

The Jazz critic said that Ka.el a n d S arris had based their judgments on the portrayal of B r u c e i n A lbert Goldman's b i o g r a p h y "L a d i e s a nd Gentlemen, Lenny Bruce." · "The book is a hustler's book.

The critic then went on to temper his remarks by asking r he t o r i c a l ly if there is an alternative for the critic who must cover many things. The critic must also write "with reasonable lucidity," Hentoff said. "I can't understand why some crit ics w r ite· in deliberately opaque style." Hentoff related how, in his attempt, as a stuc:\ent, to "be an intellectual," he pored over the criticism of Clement Greenberg and R. P. Blackmore in the Partisan Review, which Hentoff said was unnecessarily obscure, T h e cnt1c held up F. L. Mathewson and Edmund Wilson as two critics who succeeded in writing both intelligent but also accessible criticism. · Mcluyan-'Self-Legendary' Hentoff also implied that the limits of subject for the artful critic are unlimited. Hentoff read from Michael Arlen's collection of teleVJ.sion criticism to prove his point. A witty Arlen essay on M a r s h a l l M cL uyan- w h om Hentoff called "the legendary, or I s h o u l.d h a v e , s· a i d self-legendary'' -,-quickly brought laughter from the audience. Hentoff also defended his br and of advocacy cnt1c1Sm, saying, "I don't think there's such a thing as objectivity. The best thing to do is to be fair." Hentoff said if a critic is committed to the value of ',. a particular artist's work, then he ought to try to promote it. He pointed to Pauline K ael's generous criticism of Robert Altman's films. The critic, although necessary to "make a star," cannot do it alone, Hentoff said. Although he has been promoting Cecil Taylor for over twelve years, Taylor still has not received the widespread acclaim he deserves, the critic said.

we need at least ten to win," Heckler commented. Frosh Unaccustomed Heckler also noted that many of his starting freshmen are · accustomed to the seven inning games that they played in high school. Since college games are nine innings, he claims that they tend to tire and lose their concentration in the later innings. Hopefully, as the season continues they will be able to maintain both c o n cent r a t i o n and energy throughout the game. This Saturday the Blue travel to LeMoyne for a double-header against LeMoyne College,'which is nationally ranked. It should be a tough but interesting challenge for the Hilltoppers.

Golf Scene Uncertain; Team Looks to Youth After years of d,evotional toil p er en nial mainstays on the Hamilton golf scene, Steve Green and Captain Wally Porter have secured niches outside the realm . of Tompkins consequence. Greg Czarnowski has also gradua t�d and junior Dave Woilman has decided to try tennis this spring; so the ranks of last year's successful five and two squad are obviously thinned. Seasoned veterans Vlad Hoyt and Doug Wright are back, and .sophomore Jack Widman returns from a solid rookie season. However, this year, more than any in recent memory, Coach Jones is depend ant on a contingent of untryed freshmen, including Chris Scott, John Willafred and Brian Taylor, to step in and play solid golf against a s c h ed.u l e,: o.f potenti ally devestating opppnents such as Oswego, backyard rival Utica College,· and Cortland State, if Hamilton golf is to continue on the winning course that has been established in recent years.

If You Can't Bet, It's Bo.ting

FEINGOLD AND SHOEN Tom Wolfe didn't necessarily have to be right. Three weeks ago, going home again, I found Richie standing outside the OTB Farlor, inspecting the Morning Telegraph. He looked up, smoking a cigarette, and asked again what the name of the school I wtnt to was. He heard the name and said, "Oh yeah. You told me that once before didn't you? Near somewhere." Yes. It is. He appeared less interested when he heard the answer to his question about sports at Hamilton College. He smiled, put down his paper, and said, "So? What's it to me? What's hockey? I told you all this before. You couldn't tell me a point spread, could you? Of course not. "I'll tell.you something. It's a little quirk in me. Let's say, for example, I bet on Syracuse basketball a certain amount of money. Good. And they win. If it's a good win you know what I do? I send a few bucks to the school. Why not? You know that commercial, 'give to the college of your choice'? Well, it just so h_appens that Syracuse is the college of my choice at the moment and I am ecstatic. They're a good choice too. Good point spread against North Carolina that's for sure. What's a point spread in hockey?" I told him that sports is not ·a11 gambling. That, in fact, it has hardly anything to do with gambling. Or, at least, it shouldn't. That men watch sports for the beauty of watching other men compete with skill and they admire those skills. His eyes lit up. "Tell me that again. You mean to tell me that I should be watching games for their competition? So why can't I have some. competition of my own? With some other guy, I'll be competing my handicap against his. That's not skill? "l used to love watching guys play games for the hell of it. I did. But it got boring so I livened it up a little.

"Tell me, Why did it say in the paper that if it was up to the networks they'd only show the Series and the Super Bowl and the playoffs? They know that people only watch the big things and only fanatics will watch the Padres play the Giants." ' He was told that his logic might be unusual, but that his point was understood. Not that it was right, but understood. ' "Listen, how can you say I'm wrong? You should be able to see it yourself. You read the papers. What do they send you to college for? It's ·so obvious I'm ashamed of you. I'll tell you what. Call me when you figure out how to give me points and not odds in hockey. Then I'll listen."

Take Notice-

Intramural Softball and Volleyball are scheduled to begin their respective seasons Monday, April 21. Tom Allen beat out Tom Ewing in the championship final match of the Badminton tourney. Squash and Handball have been slow in finishing, because of postponements by the competitors in the prelimin ary rounds. Players have been asked to please play their matches. DU walked away with first place team honors in the Intramural Swim Meet. Kevin McTernan, of TDX, went home with two of the best swims of the night, winning the 100-yd. Individual Medley and the 50-yd. Backstroke. ' TDX took third place behind AD.

for his charges to be mentally tough c "We haven't had enough game-situation practice to be mentally ready," he commented. The Blue were limited to three practice sessions on the spring trip, and weren't able to get outdoors again until the Monday a nd T u esday preceding the Eisenhower contest. T h i s l a c k of practice manifested itself in a number of u n n ec essary penalties against Eisenhower. The Blue cannot a fford such mistakes against talent-laden clubs such as Geneseo St a t e , t heir next opponent, (Monday, 3 p.m., at home) Coach von Schiller is a great believer in mental preparedness, "Even the guys who do not play are important if they maintain a positive mental attitude," he stated. If mental preparedness is all that is necessary, however, vdn Schiller's job _would be only half as hard as it already is. Injuries have a way of putting to rout t he best-laid plans of coaches. Von Schiller must wince whenever Joh n Rice, whose knee is bandaged, ventures outside the crease, where he is fair game for enemy attackers. . Major Injury There has been ·one major injury so far. Dave Cowin, a freshman, who would have seen a lot of action in the mid-field may have suffered a separated shoulder in Monday's practice. X-rays to date have been inconclusive, but if the shoulder is separated, Cow w i ll likely be out for the remainder of the campaign. Von Schiller is keeping his fingers crossed with regard to injuries. The Blue squad, beyond · its talented group of seniors, does not have much depth. ' The note to sound, then, is one of cautious optimism. If Rice stays healthy... If 'the senior s play up to potentia,l... If' von Schiller keeps talking like Dale Carnegie, then the Blue may reach the ECAC tournament for the first time.

Leaning back in his chair, dressed in his standard desk attire ..:..a cardigan meater- and interspersing conversation with easy smiles, Carovano said he has "not _been ·surprised by what has , transpired, in the past year. "I've found the job very demanding, challenging, enjoyable and invigorating, " said Carovano. Many demands have, indeed, confronted Carovano in the past 12 months, including �he selecti9n of a new dean of the college, the appointments of a vice-president and of a provost, decisions of te nure policy for faculty and on files access policy for students. "All of my decisions have been equally tough," said Carovano, whose slightly grayer hair perhaps indicates such strain. Faculty Flexibility Carovano said that his goal in the discussion about tenure was to achieve policies that would insure flexibility. "Thus far I am satisfied with the way things have gone...the way in which the discussion was carried on between the administration and faculty and the way in which the procedures have been set up that we are to follow," he said. The relationship between the administration and faculty has been good, said Carovano, and he is "quite happy" about it•. When asked abm.J,t the alleged low faculty morale that continued on page five

2/THE SPECTATOR/April 251 1975

Tenure: II·

Kirkland has apparently made more tenure decisions-'-those tough personnel moves than no one is willing to j;alk about. A few aspects of the college's tenure policy, however, are in desperate need of open discussion. · Despite the college's claim that each decision is made by evaluating the faculty membt:!r's individual qualifications, a concern with the number of professors tenured within discipline and division is apparently also considered, although that criterion does ·not appear in Kirkland's official description of the tenure procedure. Notably, two of the three professors granted tenure this year were in the Arts Division-a division in which only two .faculty members had been tenured before this year (Chairman William Rosenfeld and Associate Professor of Film Nathan Boxer). In the Humanities Division, where seven professors are tenured, no one was granted tenure · this year. · One wonders whether Henry Stabenau would have received tenure if three other literature professot�Ursula Colby, George Bahlke, and William Hoffa-were not already tenured. Similarly, perhaps Arts Division personnel would have had rougher going if more of their colleagues were o:r:i tenure. Understandably, Kirkland would not want to have all its instructors in literature-or in any 9ther field-on tenure. Flexibility is essential. The college's failing, however,I has been its neglect to publicly state ·that as more of its teaching staff is tenured, it is being forced� as Hamilt�n is, to keep an eye on the distribution of tenured to non-tenured faculty aero§$ disciplines. One finds it hard to believe that the college examines personal qualifications in a vacuum without regard to that person's colleagues and their tenure status. : · In addition, the college would be wise to clarify the intent of Dean of Academic Affairs Catherine Frazer's statement upon her arrival here last summer that, "The number of women on the faculty and staff is certainly not what it should be•••We should start cranking the women in. We should. try to get as many women hired as possible." Though not �vident in this year's tenure decisions, such an intense affirmative action policy will inevitably necessitate the denial of tenure to male faculty members, who, if they· were women, might very well receive it." · _;Therefore, the effects of the college affirmative action program on tenure policy ought also to be made explicit. Once again, evidence seems to belie Kirkland's criteria for granting tenure. The college would be doing its faculty and students a true service by owning up to institutional policy concerns it considers in tenuring, and not tenuring, its faculty.

Springtime

If one waits long enough, spring finally creeps northward and invades the chilled wasteland of Clinton and Oneida· County. With chances for goocl weather looking better all the time, the cruelty of April (perhaps not the cruelty to which T.S.:Eliot referred) makes itself evident: namely, is this the time of the year to write papers and take exams? U:nfortunately, yes,but the Glens which surround the campuses, as · well as the athletic . facilities and roads for cycling, provide relief.

The Arts and the Press By Craig Mengel

Through· experiences of mine and others, I have · become disturbed and bothered by the attitude implied by The Spectltor's non-coverage and seeming uncqncem for student art at Hamilton and Kir�land Colleges. A paper which purports to be a student publication should make a strong-effort to address as many aspects of student life as it reasonably . can. Seeing that there are a large percentage of art majors at Kirkland and a sizable group of Hamilton students engaged in various arts, it seems to me that The Spectator is failing to fulfill its responsibility to the student body, and to these people in particular. A newspaper that devotes two full pages of every issues to sports (which is fine) should be able to devote a modetate amo�t of weekly space to student activity in the arts also. I have recently finished a 16mm documentary film on religious aspects of student life at Hamilton-Kirkland. A large number of students participated in and worked on this movie. Since The Spectator is widely read, I thought it a logical means · for publicizing the fact that the film was finished and ready to be shown. I 'invited the editor to the first showing of this fil!Il, but he nor any other representative of The Spectator showed up. Four· weeks later I asked The Spectator to publicize the public showing of the film (for the dates of March 9 and IO) in the " Notes" and "Events of the Week" sections of the paper. The notice only appeared in the "Events of the Week", yet the announcement of the Spanish Club's film to be shown that Wednesday appeard in both columns. I was surprised that a film w h i c h h a d b e e n made . about and by Hamilton-Kirkland students would be shunted aside' like that, and not reviewed as well. Films have been made by other studen ts of these colleges, yet their past and present work go by unannounced and largely ignored. The Spectator did publish the program for the two Sunday's of student films which were recently shown, but there was no article or review about them. One Kirkland woman I know had contacted The Spectator several times about publicizing a photography exhibit of her work; she was disregarded. Though these are but

several examples, I'm sure other could be found. By not covering these types of events, The Spectator is not fulfilling its responsibility to the campus and is missing a good opportunity to enrich and add deptch to its publication. It is important to me (and others) that artists share apd communicate with each other and the general public. Both groups benefit by this exchange: creativity is heightened and shared on the one hand, while the works of art can be viewed an enjoyed on the other. In addition this gives the artist a significant feedback (both positive' and negative) on his/her work. I propose that The Spectator give a• certain amount of weekly space to these concerns. This space could be utilized in any number of ways: as an area for reviewing students work (showings, exhibitions, recitals, 'concerts, plays, film), to fully publicize these events, for interviews of student artists and· as an area for ads ( e.g. 'to sell or rent equipment, to enlist the aid of something or someone - models, writers, set builders, musicians etc.). Now comes the question of who is to do the organizing and writing required. I suggest that a group of Arts Student Caucus {ASC) members, in coordination with the arts editor of The Spectator, be given the chance to fill this space. This group has

...non-coverage. and unconcern for student art... been eager to start a newsletter of its own, but they have not been able to fund such a project. Why not given them this responsibility? By donating this space The Spectator would increase its quality and better serve the interests of the student community, By writing and organizing for this section, the ASC would in effect have its newsletter to publicize and review student art work. While this solution would · require some further working out, I think that it is a plausible resolution to the present inadequate coverage of student art at Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges.
