Housing Shortage
At Hamilton...
Dean Bingham sent a letter to the victims of Hamilton's housing shortage in which he said theovercrowding is no one's fault (he puts fault in quotation marks). Problems always seem more frustrating when there is no one to blame; nonetheless, in some ways Bingham's observa�ion is correct. 1h several important ways, however, he is wrong. First, the student body should have been alerted at the earliest possible time that some would be inconvenienced. Perhaps then, more could have sought off-campus accomodations. lilstead, those to beovercrowdedreceived a letter one week before college opens. Second, when the waiting list swelled to fiftyduring the spring lottery, some more thought ought to have been given to the possibility of a shortage. ln years past, the wait list hovered around 30. Lastly, one questions whether Dean Bingham was forced to impose primarily on seniors, seemingly the last group who should be asked to make sacrifices.
But even if the students had a scapegoat, the problem still exists, and the task is to alleviate it as quickly and easily as possible. The following steps should be taken now:
-faculty hopefully will respond in greater numbers to the request for rooms in their homes. Though undergraduate presence in as strange family can be discomfiting for all involved, there seems to be no other place to go. Those faculty whohave already stepped forth deserve the gratitude of all students.
-immediately followingregistration, Dean Bingham and others who he could appoint should make a door-to-door check of the dormitories to make certain that there are no unreported vacancies. And, of cburse, all students are urged to report vacanci�s as soon as they develop-two men in a suite for three would be criminal during these times.
-the administration should move ahead quickly with plans to formalize procedures for students returning from leaves and going on leaves so that this does not occm: again. Dean W. Lawrence Gulick saidhehas begun to draw up·such procedures.
-finally, and mostimportantly, the college shoulddraw up equitable ijlans to offer rebates i;o inconvenienced students. Except for the extra hot water the additional occupants will use, the·co·llege incurs no substantial costs from the crowding. Therefore, credits of $100 per semester to all students in overcrowded rooms seems reasonable under the circumstances. Apologies and sympathyandplansforthe futuregoonly so far.
Even with all attempts to end the crowding, some will undoubtedly remain for semester. Even the most good-natured are apt to feel victimized when asked to give up privacy and needed space. An extra effort toward consideration of each other is essential if a very uncomfortable situation for those involved is not to become an unbearable and destructive one.
...and at Kirkland
The shortage is not so serious at Kirkland, but for the eight women testing the stuffy air on the top floor of Bristol, it's serious enough. If attrition and no-shows do not relieve the shortage, it is hoped that faculty residents in Kirkland dorms might find an extraroom. If that is not practical for the faculty involved, the college will have no choice but to relocate the students somewhere in the dormitories-either in corner doubles (not very large for even two) or in the construction of more doubles in what are now lounges. Bristol is no place to spend a semester.

By KENNETHGROSS
hi the early Sixties, someone cameup with the idea of establishing several small colleges, a clusteras it was then called, in the Clinton area; institutions separate from but yet coordinate with Hamilton College. Kirkland is the only one thatwasor probably ever will bebuilthere. ·
But at least one central notion of the cluster idea remained, that is, the need for the new campus to be architecturally as well as conceptually distinct. The Kirkland c�pus as built could hardly be_less similar.
At Hamilton, like the semi-urgan European universities that it is ultimately modelled after, the campus pushes itself right up to the public space, the buildings paralled to the roads, their ranks broken at severalpointsto allow cars to enter and travel around the three mainquads, each clearlyseparatedby further linesofbuildings.
Kirkland is set back, approachable only by a single road. All traffic travels around the periphery of the compact campus (althoug the roads do not make a closed circle), and the paths that cut across it are strictly pedestrian. Partly because of the architectural layout, partly because of landscaping (with some dorms concealed for the most part between trees and others receding invisibly behind Kirner-Johnson) the logical approach is right up to the college's main portal: Once there, the visitor is within a few steps of Kirkland's mostimportantofficial areas.
Shared Mall
Early projections for a mall between the two schools, a sort of mini-college-town, with sl.lops, cafes, and some shared academic buildings were abandoned foreconomicreasons.
TheplansofarchitectBen Thompsonincludedfrom the very beginning thes'ingle central courtyardaround which radiated theindividual academic buildings. The fairly simple idea of such a large central area is not confined however to this one example. It is the basic principle of the suites. It also controls the design and layout of single buildings such as Kirner-Johnson where, especially on the s�cond floor offices, classrooms, the library and the auditorium all openon to anopen,albeitirregular, carpetedspace. This is then pierced by a stairwell and a wide square balcony ovedooking the first floor. In the staggered and unregimented layout of the dormitories, local semi-closed courtyards are unified with the larger whole by asimilarkindofspatialflow.
A Mixing ofFuctions
As far as officesgo,thedepartmentand division are formally but not architecturally separated. Offices of literature, philosophy, sociology and anthropology professors are mixed up, and it is only "historical accident," said President Babbitt, that the Arts Division is uniquelyhousedinthe ListArtsCenter. But for themostparttheplanprovides,admittedly, a rigid architectural schema, the complete imposition of an environment des�ned according to what a few
Kirkland ARCHI;' TECTURE
people projected KirklandCollege shouldbe. Although satisfied overall, Babbitt suggested that the main change he ·would make now would be to have completely moveable walls and partitions to allow adjustment to changing physical needs. If the architect's designs express Kirkland's -philosophical view regarding the interactionofthe individual and the community, it certainly does not do the same for its desireforanadaptable andfluidcurricularsystem.
No matter. You can't please the people, etc. The main thing to know is that,despite what some people think, there is reason, planning, and careful logic behind most every aspect of the architecture. If Benjamin Thompson was misguided (which I do not thinkhewas)hewascertainlynotstupid.
Evaluation always depends on the attitude of the viewer and the angle of his light. For example, one person can complain that persons are rudely forcedto eat, sleep, work, play, live totally within spaces of unvarying architectural character (whether you like concrete locally or not); while of the same state of affairs, another may praise the democratic interpenetration of the school's academic, individual and community functions that the architectureallows.
The collegewasdesignedto consume a minimal land area, partly for the sake of ecological preservation, managerial efficiency, and the knitting of a close community. The plan also helps alleviate long walking distances in a cold climate, but only coincidentally, since the campus was originally modelled for a school in Florida.
Architectural Structures Revealed

MinorTheatre,left,contrastsKirkland'sdorms,above. maintenance free materials. The concrete surfaces are left exposed, rather than being concealed behind a non-functional brick facing,asis the case atHamilton's Bundy complex. This is coherent with an idea that seeks for a certain sort of architectural "truth,, in the clearrevelationofabuilding's structural means.
The bare concrete surfaces are balanced by fairly rich and varied interior furnishings, laminated wooden tables and desks, wooden panellingandwhite-plastered walls, and a startling color scheme of blue, orangeand· green in carpets,drapesandblinds. These arevisible on the exterior through the large plate glasswindows held in thin black-steel frames. As drapes or blinds are opened, pulled up anddownduringthecourseofdays one might hope for the effect ofa continuallyshifting Mondrianesque comµ,sition of colored geometrical shapes.
The furniture, some of whichseems so expensive,is really not so, since it was acquired from Design-Research .Corporation whose originator and owner was then the architect himself. hi. any case,the attempt to animate the buildings is made by what :would largely be thought of assecondaryarchitectural elements,in abroadsGheme ofinteriordecoration. Plays ofColor
In some of thedormitories,patternsofcolor on the verywallsareseenthrough thewindowsatnight.Thus, there have been painted great colored dots, and ascending arrows which run across twoorthree stories before completion. Conversly, once on the inside, the numerous windows malce it always possible toseeout, and to establish one's position in relation to the other buildings. The high and partly hidden skylights mix quantities of daylight withtheartificialillumination of florescentfixtures.
On the exterior, the position of the simple blocks andtheir composition shiftasonewalkspastoraround buildings, while the multiplicity of angles andsurfaces catch and c·ast movingshadows from thesunoverhead.
Anecessarydisadvantage ofthecollege's youthis ifs lack of the great elms or other trees that rival or surpass in scale the sandstone prisms of Hamilton's buildings. On the other hand, the landscaping is carefully worked out on almost a domestic scale,with rolling topography, low shrubbery and small trees, walls of squared beams retaininglocalizedgardens,etc. The interior scale is also surprisingly human. The architectural lines and space are low and spread horizontally. Even the annoying reticulated waffles of the ceiling provide a fixed element that allows us to read tlie scale of those areas we view from a distance.
This is· what Kirkland is. What the preliminary blueprints suggest it was going to be is sometimes amusing. The main court is landscaped with circular steps like a Roman theatre, candymachines in all the lobbies, a book store, a language lab, sketched-in students with bobbed hair, and where are all those suites withthegrai:idpianos in them?

Return to the Past?
Dean of the College W. Lawrence Gulick said he is preparing a proposal to reinstate course distribution requirements in some form at Hamilton College. Beforethe faculty reverses its action of sixyearsago, whenitabolished requirements, several areas ofconcern must be considered.
First, are students, in substantial numbers, pursuing narrow, misguidedacademicprograms. Athorough studyof registration data must be made to determine if, in fact, formal requirements are needed in addition to faculty advice,toensurethatHamiltonstudentsseekknowledgeina broadrangeofdisciplines.-
Second, can a possibleneedfordistributionrequirements be avoided by anextraefforttoencouragestudentsthrough the faculty advisingsystem to take a wide range of courses. Theanswertothisquestionisnotyetclear.
Third, requirements will force changes in department offerings, and will have the effect of spreading faculty time thinlyoveradditionalintroductoryofferings.Forinstance,a requirement that all students take a year of laboratory :Cience will force non-science students to face the harsh competition of many pre-medical students. To avoid this, extrasections of sciencecourseswouldhavetobeofferedto handle the additional, and different, enrollments. These additions will divert faculty att.ention from upper-level seminars anc� courses which majors depend upon to gain depthintheirsubjectareas.
The absence of distributionrequirementsatHamiltonisa major reason why many in today's studentbodydecidedto attend the college. The college's current policy assumes a great deal of maturity, indeed, almost wisdom, in the students and their conception of their self-interest and education. Reintroducing requirements will serve as a vote of no-confidence in the students' ability to plan their programsatthecollege. ..
Of course, no one is suggesting a return to required speech, classics, and numerous other subjects. But even a force-fed program of broadly conceived requirements will undermine the freedom Hamilton students now enjoy. erhaps what is inorderisaclearstatementfromthefaculty concerning what itbelievesstudentsought to pursue at the college; such astatementwouldalsosmoothoutsomeofthe unevenness in the current advising system. The "statement of goals" issued by the Committee on Academic Policy in 1973 failed to clarify the faculty's expectations. Another effort at articulation of academic goals is warranted atthis time.
One hopes that Hamilton studentsseek to understandhe great areas of· human knowledge-the sciences, the umanities, the arts, and the socialsciences. Buthowmuch in each, and when, is each student's own decision. Indeed, the freedom of choice itself has become a valuable part of theliberalartsexperienceatHamilton.
As the faculty and the dean renew discussion of this unportant topic it is imperative that they ensure student tNulvement all along the way so thatif there is achange in �he current policy, students will at least have had the ppurtunitytohelpshapethe change.
• • ver-or1entat1on
If the freshman orientation program gets any longer, particularly at Kirkland, the admissions offices should start advertising a free week of summer camp to each student who decides tomatriculate here.
A fewdays tosettle in, meet people, and getadjusted to life on College Hill is a necessity for freshmen. Five or six days of endless activities, empty hours, and orientation committee personnel being the most busy is absurd. Most freshmen want to get started with the business of the semester, and the extra time on their hands serves to give them the opportunity to think abouthow uneasythey are aotiut starting college.
- Next year, the colleges would do the incoming classes a service by placing a 72-hour limiton the fun and games of orientation. This year's overkill of contrived get-togethers hardlymeritsarepeatperformance.

Quality Above Quantity
The following are excerpts from ihe report of the Curriculum Committee for the Second Decade, Chapters 4 and 5.
CHAPTER IV
THEQUALITY OF KIRKLAND EDUCATION
A. The Centralityof Advising
Faculty advising has become increasingly difficult in the present social atmosphere which de-emphasizes authority and does not encourage the student to distinguish between her long-range interests and present -enthusiasms. Furthermore, it seems clear that the institution has provided neither the context nor the policy mostlikely to support this advising process. Most faculty members have hadtodo multiple duty in a large range of capacities, They often lack the time and energy to focus as much as they would wish on the needs and potential ofindividual advisees
In the second decade, advising must overcome these hurdle� and fulfill its potentialas an integral partof the education process...
Advising shall be given a more prominent place intothe academic structure of this institution. This may necessitate adjusting the academic calendl).rto providespecialadvisingperiods. Advisory work must become part of the formal definition of load for those faculty members involved, It is also il;nportant to formalize the expectations about student participationin advising.
An illustration of one possible pattern of advising which the committee envisions,would be the formation ofa group ofat least twc-
faculty members and several students with compatible educational goals,who together would bear primaryand final responsibility forthe coherenceandquality of each student'seducational program.
It is clear that the effectiveness of any advising experience will depend in large measure on the toneestablishedduringinitialcontacts.
The aim of effective advising,whatever the device chosen, must be to encourage the student's personal and intellectual independence. A greater capacity for self-education should be a central goal. The committee's illustration of the tutorial/advising option is presented in terms of its special capability to provide a sort of home-base for the student,a center of shared experience that will alsoconnectherto the larger academic community. The resulting stimulation of intellectual and personal energies should contribute significantly to what one colleague has aptly termed'self-fulfillinginterdependence.'
In any advising mechanism, the progress and accomplishments of each student shall be measured in terms of competence, rather than quantitively, according to performance guidelines set by the College.
Advising shall be centered on assisting the student to develop herself and her individual potential as she fulfills pre-concentration and concentration contracts suitable to her needs and goals. She should be encouraged to reevaluate her progress and problems as her intellectual interests and vocational plansgrow The operation of any and all advising mechanisms will predictably raise some new problems. 'In the committee's e· x a m p I e , t h e tutorial/advising-group option, there is the possibility of divisive conflict rather than creative friction occuring within the group.

It has little resemblance to the program planning that has been-the primary focus of the half-hour per semesteradvising sessions in the past.

Faculty load and the academic calendar will require adjustments if we are to·make this aspect of quality education· atKirkland feasible.
B. Individualand CollegialGuidelinesfor Graduation
Graduation requirements set standards for work to be done in addition to providing measures of what has been accomplished. Kirkland's quantitative requirements (32 courses for graduation) have contributed-less to the institution's educational excellence than was �esired. There is, in any case, something inherently arbitrary in quantitative measures of education. Setting asideformalconsideration, such as commitments to New York State about contact hours for the B.A.� fhere is no more virtue to a requirement of thirty-two courses, than the forty that were usual inthe l950's. faculty and students alike know that one cannot equate one specific course with another. In practice,Professor Y's French 204 demands more of everything than ProfessorO's Astronomy 204: moreofthestudent's tune,energy,labor, memorization and moment-to-moment, attentiveness. This fact does not tell us which course is better; it simply illustrates that apparently equivalent units need not besoin fact.Tothe extentthat course totals easily convert ,into four years which are often a period of remarkable personal andintellectual maturation,theydohave medt.
The qualitative implicational of our present requirements - their contribution to excellence - are more difficult to spell out. With the exception of the senior project which may require the student to , demonstrate fairly broad capabilities in her field of concentration, quality control takes place primarily at the level of the individual course or course-subsitute. Outside the concentration there are no formal ways of ascertaining what ourgraduates cumulatively know and are capable of,_in contrastto\1/hattheyhave taken andcompleted.Yet the degree offered by the institution is clearly intended to certify the quality of present abilities rather than to enumernte survived hurdles..
We are assured of control at the level of courses,but as an institution our position is less clear; the College's tesponsibility to the student,to those who provide the financial means of her study here, and also to graduate schools, employers, and other components of the student's post-college world, is only defined formally. Kirkland originally intended a set of graduation requirements that were both qualitative
and quantitative. ·�arly college plans provided for a required'core' program, cumulative knowledge in the humanities, sciences,and social sciences. The sophomore qualifying examination and the senior � comprehensive weretocomplement formalcour-se requirements.
'any effort to change still be must / done with the present resources'
We do not recommend a return to theserequirements.However,we recognize the College's obligation to 'maintain its integrity and to ensure that a Kirkland education represents genuine achievement for the student. Such achievement must entail personal growth, satisfaction, and accomplishment; the student's capacities and interests should be cultivated in a context stressing intellectual and aesthetic excellence. Achievement , I must also be demonstrable in the society beyond the College. These goals cannot be attained unless Kirkland clearly states its expectations for all students; the
'the new qualitative graduation guidelines may initially increase anxiety on the part of ---both students and advisors'
proposed advising system must realize :he variations andopportunities implicit in these expectations for the individual. In this context we recommendqualitative guidelines represent minimum achievement and are not intended to exhaust the student's activities nortoreplacesuch important intangibles as intellectual courage and independence. They are intended to replace thepresent quantitative criteria of thirty-two creditsforgraduation.
C. Performance-Based Curricular Guidelines
Proposed Guidelines for the Pre-Concentration Phase are:Ability to speak and write coherently on an impromptu basis and with previous preparation.Ability to make sustained and purposeful inquiries in one or more disciplines or areas of knowledge. This can also be demonstrated as a capacity to handle some ofthe toolsandmechan_ics of research in these fields ofinquiry.Ability todisplayfamiliaritywith the fundamental principles, patterns of thought and concerns of two disciplines, fields, or areas of knowledge, e.g.,'dassical philosophy,the American Indian in the south-west, child development, computer science, women writers of the 19th century. This familiarity will have to be based upon both a working knowledge of selected primary sources and an explicit understanding of the kinds of qu estio n appropriate 'knowledge bf to the chosen concern. A passive enumeration of data will not a suffice. Ability to arrive at and defend conclusions of reasonable sophistication in these areas should
also be de monstrated.
Demonstrated ability to handle certain kinds ofknowledgecanalso satisfy this requirement; e.g.,'
language, or skills such as those involvedina laboratory science ora studio art.Ability to read with comprehension material in a third field or area considered of reasonable difficulty by the advisors. For most students, this

A substantial employment experience. It is particularly important, given the social andeconomic backgroundofmostofourstudents, that tney be encouraged to make connections between theirstudies andthe world beyond the campus. The precise sort of work seems less important to the committee than thay the experience beintegratedby the student and her advisors into her total program, and that she be asked to evaluate it inseriousterms.While a formalinternshipprogram would be desirable, the College should not undertake this unless it can take responsibility forthe placement process ft entails.
D. Evaluations
Because the evaluations play a major role in the College's overall progi:_am, allocation of faculty time and energy for this purpose must continue toreceive highpriority.
CHAPTERV ALLOCATION_ OF PRESENT COLLEGERESOURCES
At the end of its first decade Kirkland has reached the size projected by the Board of Trustees in 1965. The College will maintain this size of ;ipproximately 650 students and 50 faculty members.
'need to toleranee of the develop a frustration accompanying the education process itself' Expansion at Kirkland must now refer to the quality of the educationalexperienced availab.le in an institution o'f this size and the quality of the students we enroll. It' is realistic for Kirkland to present itself in the academic market place in ways that will at!ract students with above average abilities and witha diversity ofindividualtalents

We believe it will do so if the recommendations containedin thisreport are iplemented "'
Our size is one of the pre-conditions of this distinctiveness; but it also sets many of the parameters of Kirkland's resources.

The Second Decade recommendations deliberately invoke thiswillingness to risk,in the beliefthatonly ahigh quality - andin this case ahighcost- operation hasa chance to survive in any event.

Quality Above Quantity
The following are excerpts from ihe report of the Curriculum Committee for the Second Decade, Chapters 4 and �CHArTER IV
THE QUALITY OF KIRKLAND EDUCATION
A. TheCentralityofAdvising
Faculty advising has become increasingly difficult in the present social atmosphere which de-emphasizes authority and does not enGourage the student to distinguish between her long-range interests and present enthusiasms. Furthermore, it seems clear that the institution has provided neither the context nor the policy mostlikely to support this ad.vising process. Most-faculty members have hadtodo multiple duty in a large range of capacities. They often lack the tune and energy to focus as much as they would wish on the needs and potentialofindividual advisees.
In the second decade, advising must overcome these hurdle� and fulfill its potentialasanintegral partoftheeducationprocess
Advising shall be given a more prominent place intothe academic structure of this institution. This may necessitate adjusting the academic calendarto providespecialadvisingperiods. Advisory work must become part of the formal definition of load for those faculty members involved" It is also :qnportant to formalize the expectationsabout student participation in advising.
An illustration of one possible pattern of advising which the committeeenvisions, would bethe formation ofagroupofatleasttwc-
facµlty members and several students with compatible educational goals, who together would bear·primaryandfinalresponsibility forthe coherence and quality ofeach studenfseducational program.
It is clear that the effectiveness of any advising experience will depe-nd in.large measure on the tone establishedduringinitialcontacts. The aim of effective advising, whatever the device chosen, must be to . encourage the student's personal and intellectual independence. A greater capacity for self-education should be a central goal. The committee's illustration of the tutorial/advising option is presentedin terms of its special capability to provide a sort of home-base for the student, a center of shared experience that will alsoconnecthertothe larger academic community. The resulting stimulation of intellectual and personal energies should contribute significantly to what one colleague has aptly termed'self-fulfillinginterdependence.'
1n any advising mechanism, the progress and accomplishments of each student shall be measured in terms of competence, rather than quantitively, according to performance guidelines set by-the College.

It is a reality of our situation that any effort to change what we are presently doing must still be done with the present resources. An important aspect of the reallocation of college resources is curricular planning which assures the mutual supportiveness of all areas of instruction offered by the college. An internal trade-off which allocates more faculty time from one area of educational effort to another as needed is our only way to proceed. Any systematic effort to explore new and hopefully better ways will require us to establish an equivalence between our present classroom, advisory, and-committee demands, and whtever new activities the faculty w�shes toundertake. Ifisclearthatthe report envisions changes in the standard definition of faculty load. For example, any formal recognition of faculty advising as a regular part of faculty work load would require a reduction in the number of courses a faculty member involvedcouldteach.
And Now, What is Quality?

Editorials Film Futures
The Student Life Committee, after lengthy consideration, defeated a proposal to allow campus films to be shown by a privately-funded organization. The committee's action haseffectively delayedapproval bythe colleges of the film society which Barry Kreiswrith,Betsy Jenkins, and Tim Housemann have setup- and the vote against private enterprise was one in the community's interest.
Regardless of Kreiswirth's intentions, whether they be good or bad, the approvalofhisorganizationwouldset an unfortunate precedent for the future. To insure year-to-year continuance of film showings on the campuses,itisnecessarytokeepthe sponsors ofsuchfilms under direct supervision of the Hamilton Student Senate and Kirkland Assembly. While this particular group might do a commendable job in showing films this year, the community has-.no assurance that another group of enterprising impresarios will come along next year. It is clear now that the Senate and Student Life Committee must reach some sort of agreement quickly regarding the governance of film societies at the colleges. If no individualsvolunteerto operate acollegefilmsociety,then the Senate and Assembly will have no choice but to appoint a joint group of students to an interim film selection panel which will, for all intents and purposes, functionasafilmsociety.
GoodMove
The Hamilton StudentSenatewilldiscussaproposalfor formal student participation in college tenure decisions at its next meeting on Tuesday. The Senate is to be commended fortakingupthisimportant areaforpotential studentinvolvement.
The proposal outlines in very generaltermsasystem of student committees to operate in each department when tenure and hiring decisionsarise. The committtees would bemadeupofmajors.
In its preliminary form, the proposal has much merit. However, if the Senate is to present a credible documeqt to the faculty and administration, the procedures, details, and terms of the proposal must be perfectly explicit. Itis hoped that the Senate will discuss carefully andscrutinize meticulously itsproposal fortenure. The Senate hasfinally taken up the challenge of coping with Of\e of the most complex and important of college issues. It is therefore proper that the dean and faculty consider seriously the proposal the Senate finally presents.

• TheEditorResponds:
Since President Babbitt's remarks seriously question my motives andactions as reporter and editor of The Spectator, I thinkthey merit-a personalreply.
I firstwouldliketothankthe president for his factual correctionregardingincome fromcollege-investedfunds.
I appreciate the president's assurance that The Spectator wi/,l receive a "rather full response" if only our reporters and editors fully .explain their interests, without antagonistic motives. The president and the community can expect The Spectator to take him up on that offer
Regarding the substance of the story, President Babbitt claims its content is editoriaL My aim in that particularstory was to raise some important questions about Kirkland' finances, andnottomake judgments about its current operations, except to saythatcontinueddemandswill be placed upon the college to raisemore and more capital. Ifonewantstolabelthe story advocacyjournalism. ru agreetothe extent that its publication was meant to advocate student awareness of Kirkland's finances. I stand by my assumption that Kirkland's long-termfuture isnotassured. Istand by the story as animportant piece of information to the community.
To be sure, educationis anactoffaith, as President Babbitt wrote, quoting Millicent McIntosh. That is true because people don't have faith in things they are sure of. No one has''faith,. that the sun will rise tomorrow. Faith in anything-a college, one's abilities, .the world's beneficence-is faith, and not certainty, only because there are doubts and unknowable variablesinvolved. ls it not a fair protection against faith's potential to blind instead of inspire to periodically let those doubts and "unknowables"out for publicconsiderati'on?

Becauseotismorephilosophically inclinedandbecauseitisinalargeparta parodyofthose no-metaphysical-holds-barrednovel�, "LoveandDeath"isundoubtedlythe mostliteraryandverbalofAllen'sfilms.

Bumbeck Speaks on Prints
ByEVAHEISLER
"I'veneverseenanyreasonwhy anybodywouldwanttodoanythingelse butworkonplate.Everythingisonmetal, thechanges,thesurprises,the revelations,"saidDavidBumbeckinthe lectureopeninghisexl-jbitinList.
OriginallyfromFramingham, Massachusetts,Bumbcckreceivedhis BFAinpaintingfromtheRhodeIsland SchoolofDesignanda_MFAin printmakingfromSyracuseUniversity. Bumbeckteachesdrawingand printmakingatMiddlebury,andisdirector ofthegallerythere.
Bumbeck,asanundergraduate, experiencedwhathetermedthe"classical predicament:,.trainedasbothpainterand draftsman,hehaddifficulty"coordinating whatwashappeninginthedrawingstudio withwhatwasgoingoninthepainting studio."'Bumbecksaid,•�wassplitand couldn'tgettogetheranythingcoherent."
Itwasnotuntiltheendofhisgraduate workthathesaw"thepotentialin printmaking,"andgaveupeverythingelse. Bumbeckdoesnotworkinanyother medium:"Idonothingelse;Iwork directlyonmetal.Anyothermediumis totallyunrewarding."Bumbeckconsiders printmakinganextensionofsculpture: "Thepaperisforcedandbondedtogether withink.Oneisactuallycastingpaper ontothenegativeimagesofthe plate-whichissculpturerelief."
TheSpi.FitofBeckman
DavidBumbeckdoesnotfeelthathis workhasbeeninfluencedbyaparticular artist."Ifoneisintenseandseriousabout one'swork,"Bumbecksaid,"thenone's backgroundisbuilt.,outofawide spectrumofinfluence."Although Bumbeckhesitatedtolistspecific influences,hementionedGauguin,Picasso, makingspecialreferencetoMaxBeckman. "IlovethespiritofBeckman,"Bumbcck said,"hispsychologicalovertonesand
powerofcomposition.IlookatBeckman againandagain."Bumbeckadded,"ButI lookathundredsofothersaswell." Bumbeckalsofeltthat,whilestudying underRobertMarksatSyracuse,theartist hadgivenhim·"impetusforlater development."
OneplateofBumbeck'srepresents threetofourmonthswork,insome instancesayear_"Thedevelopmentis slow,"Bumbecksaid,"because1firmly believethatonejustcan"tgoslow enough."Bumbeckspokeofhisprintsasa "representationalart,findingitssourcein allformsofreality,subjectiveand objective,realandunreal."Ultimately, however,thework"isaproductofthe imagination."Bumbeckadded, "Obviously,Idon'tadheretotheartfor art'ssakesyndrome."Bumbeckdescribed graphicsas"awonderfulmeansof 'cqmmunicatingwithpeople.Artisnot justfortheself."

Bumbecksaidthathiscreativeprocess is"averydifficultone,alotof'Sweat,joy, endlesshardwork.Mywholebeingis woundupinthisvisuallanguage, occupyingmywholeselfallthetime."An artist,Bumbecksaid,isonewhohas"an endlesscapacityforgrowth,expansion, meditation,limiteddetatchmentand self-entertainment.Nomatterwhat persuasion,itmustbetotal.Eat,sleep, drinkinit."

Threelittlewordscan saveyoumedicinemoney.
Frequently when you're sick, nothing hurts as much as the cost of the medicine to help you get better. But there is a way you can save money on prescription drugs and medicine.By remembering1 three little words .. "the generic name."
What do these words mean?
Simply this.Your doctor can write a prescription two ways. He can write the "brand name" or the generic name (pronounced jen-air-ic) of the drug.The difference is that prescriptions can cost a lot less if the doctor uses the generic name.
How come?
Most well-known advertised brands of anything cost more than unknown or store brands.You pay for the advertising that makes the "brand name" well-known. Brand name drugs also usually cost more.For example, one drug used to reduce high blood pressure costs drug stores about $4 .50 under its "brandname/' yet only 99¢ under its generic name. What's more, up to half of the
most wi.delyprescribeddrugs (the top 50) are available under their generic name.
Here's what to do.
First, ask your doctor to write down the generic name instead of the brand name. Don't be afraid to tell him you need to save money on medicine. Second, tell your pharmacist that the prescription calls for the generic name at your request. Ask for the lowestpriced quality generic drug he or she can recommend.
You could tear out this message and wrap it around your finger to help you remember. Oryoucould keepthinking ofthe dollars you want to save.Either way, remembering three little words can save you lots of medicine money.Please remember the generic name.

Soccer,InternationalStyle
TotheEditor: Itwas cold, muddy,windylast Thursday at the soccer field, but that did not prevent the FSS (ForeignStudents Soccer)tobeat thevarsityby 3-2.
Some ofourplayersonlyknew ofthe�ame an hourbefore.some
dil not even have soccer shoes. GeorgesKaloyeropoulos (Greece), and Rene Peralta {Chile)hadthen very little time to weigh the �tential and the skill of everv
player, and to organize eleven guys who had never practiced together.
The FSS took the lead by scoring tw.o goalsin the first half respectively by Georges Kaloyeropoulos and Mr. Jones (Scotland). Later, as a resultof strenous efforts, varsity finally scored a goal at the l0th minute of the second half. Then Snaejborn Fridricksson (Iceland) worked out an intelligent combination with Mr. Jones to score the most beautiful goal of the game. The FSS defense, playing loose, made a couple of mistakes which cost the team anothergoalbythevarsity. Then, the coach and referee (same person) did all he could to help the varsity to score another goal, but our defense did not _ agreewithhiswish.
We all heard, Varsity, thatyou beatPotsdamlastSaturd.a by5-0 wewillnotsaythat ecouldhave won the same game by 7 or --0 because ·e beat you 3-2. Ho,rever, �e ant you to know that any time againwhenit' cold and muddy just let us kno and hourbeforeandwe'llbereadyfor yourighthereonCampus.

American Tune Social Responsibility
By Robert Pelz
In this world itiseveryone's responsibilitytoact wiih concern for social actions occuring around them. We are allmembers of some community, no matter if itbe college�town orworld,andeachof us has an obligation tohelpa socialconscience,as well as social action, to spreadin ordertomake the communitya communityforeveryone.
This past month, a number of social concern groups of Hamilton, Kirkland and Clintoncame together in an informal manner·to form the Social ConcernCaucus.Themain reasonsfor thecoalition are:
I) To improve the channels of communication heneen the variousorganizations,thusencouraging apoolingofresources,
2)Togainstrengthasacompositebody (without eachmemberlosingitsindividualidentity),and
3) To make thecollegeandClintoncommunities betterawareofallsocialconcernacitivities.
ome of-the concreteactionsthe caucusplansto takeinordertoaccomplishthesegoalsare:
1) To establish, in the Hub,a common resource center with listings of groups in the Caucus and explanations of their functions, as well as infonnationontheiractivities,
Douglas Glucroft through campus mail
2) To lobby for the solutions of individuaJ and groupproblems. The goalswe haveestablished are within our grasp, but their furtherance can be hindered by certainattitudes ofthe administration and faculty, aswellas the Spectator. It seems to the Caucus that the administration and faculty in most caseshavebeeninsensitivetostudentconcerns for lack ofinitiative in seeking out and responding to feedback fromCaucusmember organizations.We do acknowledge the aid of some faculty (particularly withthe ThirdWorld Society)andthe administration {with respecttoE..E.C.H.K.) butfeel it is not too much to ask for more These organizations cannot smvive withoutthesupportof the cQmmunity, aud the faculty andadministration are certainly as much a part of the community as
the students. We are also disturbed by their minimal sense of concern sho�n towards surroundn1gareacommunities.Hereagain,programs like the Clinton family project, ABC, and the Clinton Free Church are outstanding exceptions. Hamilton and Kirkland do not exist in a vacuum and the largercommunitiesofClintonandUticaare ofgreatimportanceto oursmallercommunity. We recognize the different interests on campus, and the Spectator's responsibility to them, but it is hard for us to ignore what seems to us to be a minimal coverage of our activities. We feel our organizations can be of great value ,to this community. This judgement may seem biased,but wefeelneverthelessitshouldbemade.Thequesti�n is, then, what is the role of the Spectator? \'e recognize the Spectator's role in the community is "toprint thenewsofthesecampuseswithoutbias." Indeed, "news on the Hill does not come knocking on the Spectator's door." 'People do. /ill Caucus members are willing and able to respond to ihe questioningofanymemberofthe Spectatorstaff.It" is possible that the Spectator finds little that is newsworthy in ouractivities,butwearedoingsome valuable thingsthatmeritcoverage. TheSpectatoris a special medium that has certain advantages that stuffing mailboxes does not. The Spectator is certainly not the Pennysaver, out neither is it the New York Times.We feel that the coverage of our groups should entail more than a little-noticed blurb. The Caucus is certainly grateful for the editorial space the Spectator has provided, butwe feel moreisneeded.Mightnotitbepossibleforthat "disinterested observer of life at these collegesu to provide more space for Caucus-related news> to complementtheir coverage of the arts, sports, and othercampusnews?
In order to be a trulysocially-concernedcampus, all facets of the community must U$e their capabilities. We are asking for support. We donot glecfuJlym.ake these complaints, butrather because we are concerned about this c.ommunity, our own, and feel this editorial is one fo the best ways tc• expressthisconcern.

Kirkland has received a bequest of $150,000 for "unrestri�ted endowment" from the estate of the late Grace C. Root, according toPresident Babbitt.
Mrs. Root, who died February 3, 1975, was a friend and supporter of the colleges for decades. The daughter-in-law of Secretary of :5tate Elihu Root, Mrs. Root, along with her husband Edward, was instrumental in<EVeloprg_ the RootArt Center and the Root Glen. In 1962, Mrs. Root turned theGlen over toHamilton.
Mrs. Root received an honorary degree from Hamilton in 1952. She was also anemeritus trustee of Kirkland.

Raab's Reading C ouds
Craftsmansh·p ii, "His·Work
By EVA HEISLER AND ABIGAILWENDER
Larry Raab, a poet whose work draws from popular cultural sources such as horror movies, newspaper horoscopes, dimestore novels and television melodrama, recently read from his book, "Mysteries of the Horizon," and a forthcoming volume, 'rrhe Collector of Cold Weather." His reading, however, did not do justice to his work. Raab fai1ed to disclose the true nature of many of his poems the resuft being a mere parody of the poem's source:
Although his rapport with the audience was intimate, Raab's comical stance lessened the import of his words. The initial reaction to his reading was that his poems were merely "funny." Upon rereading his work, however, it is evident that Raab is more of a craftsman thanhis reading indicated.
"Attack of the Crab Monster," is, according to the author, based on "a remarkably bad horror movie" bearing the saT1e title.The persona of the peom is a minor character in a standard horror movie who knows that he is fated to die. Initially, the poem appears to be nothing -more than a clever synopsis of the prototype horror movie plot. Raab read the poem melodramatically, reinforcing the plot's absurdity and discouraging the audience from interpreting the poem other than as parody.
Upon comparing the poem in its-
written form with Raab's reading, one can see his wish to extend the poem beyond an obvious and intentional ridicule of the horror movie: I'd like tO tell you not to beafraid, but I've lost
my voice. I'm not used to alI these legs,these claws, these feelers. On the literal level, the above lines simply refer to the minor characte,.,s fear of being devoured by the crab monster. However, the Jines afso appear to be alluding to the self's susceptibHity to pain when exposed by fear. not only of physical destruction, but also of love: Andeveryone is surprised and no oneurrlerstands Why eaoh man tries to kill the thing heloves, when the change comes over him.
Raab read the above lines as if he were delivering the punch line to a joke. Itwas as if he felt it necessary to emphasize the fact that his poem was intentionally comical.
These lines are interesting and capable of carrying their own weight without an exaggerated reading of them. Because of Raab•s reading voice, the poem rarely had a chance to speak for itself.
Jn ••About Flowers," Raab's imagery is' strewn with cliches and sentimentality:

So slowly she moves among the flowers they seelT' to stop dying a moment
The visual images presented are something one might find on a Hallmark greeting card: violets knitted through a field the slow tides at their labors everything that is beautiful rises to her hand
'...it is evident that Raab is more of a craftsman than his reading indicated.'
Not only are the images hackneyed, but Raab yses language that has already_been exhausted. The poem falls flat; as a love poem, it falls flatter; as aparody of alove poem, itmightsucceed.
One of Raab's better poems was ''Water." The source of this poem was a book entitled "Dream Interpretations for the Millions," an alphabetical listing of subjects in dreams and their meanings. Raab's poem addresses three questions raised' in the book under the listing for water: what the water is wt'!at the water does, what to do with the water. There is nice visual and structural movement in "Water." The poem opens with: Whichever way water turns it touches itself in anotherdirection. The poem then proceeds to move within this circle presented, ending with the line: A maze of circlemeets your hand.
The poem touches points which are to be found within the cycle of water. Water !s a creative element:
Hundreds of feetbeneath you it creepsalong afault dropby dropwidening the rock softening an edge breaking off a splinter soa cave blossoms Water's cycle is inherently composed of opposites. Raab is able to fuse these necessary contrariesinto awhole: Ask about absence
Waterhas spent a long time learnirg how to filf with itself the spaceof a missing thing.

At the beginning of tJ)e poem, the only presence is that of water. Gradually, Raab introduces a person, another being that sees the· water, touches it, learns from it.
The shape of someonelike yourself drifts in the shelter of still water
You reach down "Water" suggests an advancement from that of a water cycle to the possibility of a similar cycle within the individual. Raab read the poem slowly, giving the audience a chance to visualize each image. In the reading of "Water," Raabdidnot diminish the import of his lines. He succeeded in moving the poem beyond its mundane source.
In his poerri ''The Fortune Teller," Raab proposes to do the some thing he did in "Water." The poem "began as a reaction to the newspaper horoscopes," he said. He was "struck" by the language of the horoscope but found it boring, and "wanted to extend that type of language." In the first part of "The Fortune Teller," however, Raab's. language lacked vitality; the lines were boring:
Then you will b�ina long journey
You will meeta fair young woman
You will meet a tall dark gentleman
He will ask questions
It is not until the second half of the poem that Raab successfully transcends his source:
Why is your face in theglass so blumrl
What you wish to know you carry with you
Even now all the world's t'tme floats from us
The poem's language is inconsistent ard -therefore disappointing.
Many times an author enhances his work through a reading. Although Larry Raab is an engaging poet, his reading did not enlighten the audience. Rather, it diminished much of his work by hidirYJ possible themes under a melodramatic, almost farcical, reading.
A number of his ideas and images are worth looking into, but Raab relies upon cliches, whether intentional or not, too often. He appeared self-conscious, not giving himself the leeway his poetry deserves. Somz of his poems were sterotyped, but his ability to create vivid and unusual images appears in others.
Raab's writing is choppy; he lacks the confidence to let go and create the whole poem instead of mere bits and pieces.
If he had let his comic lines voice themsleves rather than playing up to them, the reading would have been a more successfulone.

Govetnance Review: Abolish Assembly
ByKATINHECIIT
TheKirklandSteeringCommitteehasissuedaproposedconstitlltioncallingforthe abolitionoftheAssemblyasitnowexists.
Theproposalrecommendsthecreationoftwoseparategoverningbodies,onemadeup ofstudents,theotheroffaculty.
TheproposeddraftwillnowbepresentedtotheAssemblyfordiscussion
Theconstitutionwasdrawnup afteraseriesofmeetingsand investigationsheldlastspringon thepartoftheSteering Committee,headedatthetimeby HenryStabenau,assistant professorofliterature.Present Chairman,AssistantProfessorof GovernmentJohnBacheller commentedthatthisgovernance reviewbeganbecauseitwasfelt thattheAssemblywasfailingto achievecertaindesirabl€ideals.

Henotedthatoftenpeoplefelt thattheywereengaginginritual thathadnomeaningandthe questionwasraisedofhowto achievecollegebusinessmore democraticallyandefficiently.
Thecommitteethensetaboutthe taskofansweringthisquestionin theformofanewconstitution.
Bachellerexplainedthatthere werethreemajorareasofconcern thathiscommitteeworkedwith. Thefirstwasthatthecommittee structurewasinefficientand wasn'torganizedtobeused· effectively.
Bachellerobservedthatthe committeesseemedtobe organizedawayfromwherethe powerlay.Thenatureofthe meetingswasthesecondconcern. Certainthingsinvolvingstudent affairspertainedonlytostudents andwerenotofanyconcernto thefacultyinregardsto decision-making.
Byhavingthefaculty participateinthingsthatdidnot pertaintothem,itwasinefficient andawasteofthefaculty'stime.
DivisionalControl
Thethirdandlastconcernwas thatofdivisionalpolicymaking. Inthepast,divisionswentahead andmadedecisionswithoutinput fromthestudents.Oncurricular matters,Bachellersaid,therewas anincreasingrealizationthatit was necessaryforstudentsto participateatdivisionallevels, especiallyinregardstodecisions aboutconcentration requirements.
TheSteeringCommittee analyzedallthisandintheend drewupthisconstitutionbased onthestrengthsandweaknesses thattheyfound.
Bachellersaidthathisgroup recognizedthedangerin separatingthetwogroupsandso theydrewupprovisions:forjoint meetingsthatwouldhandlethis problem.Also,asystemof studentrepresentationchosen fromtheconcentratorsineach divisionwasworkedoutin additiontorepresentativesfrom eachclassandfromthestudent communtiyatlarge.

The 1975 Adler Conference Recommendations
Introduction
Adler '75 is the culmination of an effort to approach the community problems of Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges. Adler's purpose however, transcendsthe mere recognition ofproblemsso that we might discover workablesolutions.
Duringthe weekendfivediscussiongroups metforatotal oftwelve hours each, which created sixty hoursofdiscussionnotes from which the Evaluation Committee has prepared this report. While the report itself is the ultimate physical account of the weekend, one cannever convey the fervor and excitement of those students and faculty .who participated in the conference. It must therefore be recognized that tht; benefits of Adler are not solely manifest in the actualreport, for certainly the entire college community benefits from the ideas and attitudes which the individualparticipantscarry backwith them.
It hasoftenbeen statedthatAdleris oflimitedvalue because ithas no legislative power, but to yield to such an observationis to agree that students and faculty do not have legislativepower. lrifact, then, Adler does have legislative power, forthosepeople whoparticipatein the conference have the powertoinitiatelegislation. lri pastyearsthe report was published and then forgotten with no concerted effort to legislate its proposals. This year the Evaluation Committee has decided to make an attempt at following up theAdlerproposals.The Student Interest Committee (Siq will serve as a relay center which will take each of the specific Adler recommendations to the committee, administrator, or faculty member who is responsible for the area of college life which the specific recommendation concerns. It is hoped that as aresultofthis studentsponsoredshow ofinitiative a greater percentage ofthe problems discussedatAdler will be solved, which will in turnincrease,toan evengreaterextent, the institutiona value offuture AdlerConferences.
It is interesting to note thac several discussion groups have made tentative plans to hold follow-up meetingswhich will allowthe group to determine more accuratelythe effect their Adlerexperience had on the college community. It is with this same intent that the Evaluation Committee has made plans to publish a "post-Adler Report"tobedistributedsome time in April.
The Concern for Community
Members of the Adler Conference have a�st universally agreed that the biggest problem confronting Hamilton (and therefore Kirkland as well) is tfie lack of community here. By community we mean a group ofpeople living together andsharingcommoninterests and activities andtaking the time to care for each other. Thelackof caring is the focal point of the problem,andis apparent inalcholism, damage ("demo"), the failure of students to uphold the Honor System, and the failure of the two colleges toreacha greaterrapport with each other. Before individuals can work to make a better community, specific problems must be identified and discussed and solutions offered. The Adler Report attempts to do just those things.
I. Communication Betweenthe Student Bodyand Student Committees It is generally recognized that student committees are a primary means of achievinggoals. In the pastithasreadilybeenapparentthat the reason widely supported student goals have not been met is that Rte studentcommitteesdidnotcoordinate withwidestudentsupport.
Recommendations:Recommendations:
a) Committee chairmen should go to the Spectator and explain the activities of their committees.Every committee has a responsibility to let The Spectator and thus hopt:fully the student body as a whole knowwhatis happening,andin particular when major issues are going to arise. Copies of committeeagendasshouldbeprovidedforTheSpectator.
b) The Senate has asked for, and the newspaper has agreed to, a reporter at all Senate meetings. This mechanism should beineffectduringthe entireyear.
c)WHCJ;FMshouldbeinformed ofcommittee meetingsand topics, and should attempt to follow parts a andbabove,in accordance with theidea ofusing all campus mediaavailable.
d) The use of bulletin boards, recently boosted by the Senate, should be continually encouraged at points all over
'certainly the entire college, benefits from the ideas which the participants bring back with them.'
campus, particularly inthe dormitories.
e) A short directory of student leaders and committee chairmen on both campuses would be valuable. Both office and room centrex numbers should be listed. The directory should be ava_ilable to any student, and should also �e availableat the BristolCampusCenter.
f) To every degree possible, the Campus Center should serve as the focal point for scheduling student events. Meetingsof committees in particular (of both colleges) should be registeredwith the Bristol-frontdesk sostudentswishing that kind of information will have a central place from which to obtain it. The Weekly Events bulletin should include the same information. If possible, the bulletin should be put in every student's mailbox. If this should prove too difficult, the bulletin should at least be posted in every dormitory on bothcampuses,andalso inthe moreusualplaces.
II. Safety: Although tl:J.e campusin generalisretsonablysafe, thereare several trouble spots,'1istedbelow, wruch Mr. Leuikenshouldhave thePysical Plant look into'soon. It should be noted that the outside lightingon campus has recently imporved a lot and that this development is a welcome one.
Recommendations:
a) The fire exits in the Gym should be marked and publicized.
b) The Fume Hood situation in the Chemistry Building is bad,andsooughttobe fixedimmediately.
c) The fire exits at the Pub have been found locked on occasion,andso oughttobeexamined.
d) The Administrations ought to make perfectly clearatthe earliest possible moment who in particular is responsible for public safety here, so that students will in the future know who to �eport problems to and who to watch to make sure repairsandimprovementsare beingmade.
Ill.Physical Plant Damage ("Demo")
This problem, attimes too intimately connectiedwith the problem of alcohol,is one ofthe worst oncampus, with damagebills mounting into many thousands of dollars and morale and college spirit constantly being weakened. Some damage, such as that which may occur in Dunham, may be accidental. Whether it- is nor not, a major problem is that peo_ple are not turning others in for damage offenses as they ought to do. Honesty in reporting damageis therealsolution to the problem. Until there is evidence of greater student responsibility it seems wise to take substantially more stringent measuresto cutdowriondamage.
Recommendations:
a) The colleges' damage bills ought to be postedin the same way committee announcements should be, as suggested above. A list of what other things damage money could be spentonmight serveasan impetus tostopdamage.
b) The colleges, if they do not already do so, should send regular bills home to parents and to students, instead of simply telling the student to pay up. At the same time, a note shouldbe senttoparentswiththe bill encouraging them tohave theirson/daughterpayfor the damage.
c) The list of whatparticularbitsofdamagewill bebilled at, recently sent out by Dean Bingham's office, is good and ought fobemaintainedand updated.
d) Arrangements ought to be made with the Business Office �o that damage bills are sent out at once. However many problems this might cause will be far outweighed by the merits ofthe immediatebilling.
e) Although Dunham often lends itself to "demo" the fact should not be used as an excuse. The Dunham advisors should be givenstricterinstructions to cut down on damage, and should make strenuous effortsto followthe instructions closely. It is the opinion of at least some ofthe membersof the Conference thatdamagelightly regardedinDunhammay lead to students lightly regarding damage during their
remammg mree years at ttamilton.f) The Judiciary ought to be used in cases ofdamage wherethe dollaramount is considered major. Announcements in Chapel and in The Spectator of the Board's decisions would be useful in deterringdamage.
g) The topic ofproration of damage was of major concern. The consensus being that this topic should be re-examined.
IV.Alcohol:
Oncampuses to a large degree isolated from other cultural events, alcohol and alcoholism are inevitable problems.Still inrecentyearsit seems almost as if the use of alcohol at every possible moment·has been encourage. It is a sad comment about the colleges and the student body when (with the exceptions of movies, the Coffee House, anda very fewotherevents)the onlywayone canhavea "goodtime" is to go to a party, a bar, the Pub, or any social event with alcohol being served. It would seem that with less drinking done on campus, lessdamagewill be done topropertyand topeople.
Recommendations:
a) In light ofcurrent problems, the merit ofservingalcoholic beverages at public functions should be more carefully consideredin the future thanithasbeeninthe past.
b) Money should be spent whenever possible to encourage campus cultural and entertainment events that steer away from the ever-presentemphasis on alcohol.
V.TheFaculty
Once commentoften madeisthat, even thoughHamilton isasmall schoo.1, studentsdon'tknowmany faculty members.
Recommendation:
A faculty funny book, modeledon the one Kirklandput out lastyear, shouldbeintroducedas soona possible.
Housing
Last year a number ofcomplaints were voiced in connectionwith housing procedures and decisions such as the lottery, the delegation of rooms and suites, and the Hamilton-Kirkland exchange. For the most part, Adler prticipants felt the present lotter-by-class to be the best way to ensure every student an equally fair chance to chose a top-priority room during his four years. Likewise, there wasageneral concensus that the number of Hamilton-Kirkland exchanges to be about right. A greater number of exchanges might endanger the individuality ofthe twoschools.
Recommendations:
a)Off-campus livingshouldbe done-bylottery.
b) The Coop should not be included in the general lottery, instead, it should operate some what like a fraternity house and chose its membersbeforehand. If the Coop is to have a 50-50 Hamilton-Kirkland representation, those men electing the Coop whould not be included in the spaces allotted to Hamilton students at-Kirkland, thus allowing more men to live in other Kirklanddorms.
c) One suggestion was to house Kirkland studentsat Bundy, but because of security reasons this is not possible. A more feasible procedure atBundymight betomake half-hallsuites out of four singles. Thus, a person with a high lottery number could pull in three of his friends and thereby increase the desirability ofthe Bundycomplex.
d) The ageold questionofDunham wasraised.Objections to thedormincluded:
I) The segregation of the freshmen from the college community with the recommendationofspreadingthe freshmen throughout the campus in threes or fours. This was answered by a consensus that once you've been through the "Dunham Experience" - it's really not that bad after all - in fact, retrospectively appreciated in most cases. 2) Dunham breeds "demo" because of freshmen frustrations and the shoddy constructionofthe dorm.
situationfromallperspectives.
e) In conclusion, it was agreed that all housing decisions should bebroughtbeforebothcampusesbefore the decisions are finalized. Once proposals are announced, it is the students' responsibilitytovoice complaints orsuggestions for changes.
Career Center
Whatever diversity of opinion there was between tlj.e discussion groups on other topics, for the Career Center the Adler participants had little Lut parise. However, it was generally felt that the student body as a whole did not completely understand the operation and purpose of the Center. It was unfortunate that many students expect the Career Center to provide jobs while the Center acutally provides only advice;
Most of the suggestions made concerning the Career Center dealt with the better use of alumni, specifically to develop a more systematic use of alumni contacts for:
a) jobplacement,and
b) placement in graduate schools, (particular!y law and medical schools)
Othersuggestions included:
a) bringing to the campus more people fromBusinesstotalk to interested students, and
b) holding a seminar, chaired by a husband and wife who both have jobs, to discuss the problems they have encounteredinpursuing their carrers.
It was generaily agreed that more sl1ould be done to publicize the services and information the Career Center can provide for the students. It was recommended that more time should be devoted to explaining the nature of the Center to freshmen during their Orientationsessions.
Librar-v
Very few suggestions concerning the library failed towinmajority support among the members of the Adler Conference. The loss/theft of library materials was regarded as a serious problem requiring prompt, effective solutions. There was great sutdentconcernoverthe slow growth in the resources of the library, and as is the panworld situation with most departmental budgets, the inevitable request for more funds is made - thelibrary budgetis notan exception fromthe general caseo As an aside however, though Adler participants noted specific needs for more library funding, there were no recommendations made as towhat otherbudgets the increasedlibrary fun.ding should be drawn from. lri addition, the overall condition of the library building itself was considered, although-few suggestions weremadeo
A. Lo�ofbooks:
1) It was agreed to strongly recommend t(> the College the installation ofthe magnetic tape securitysystem.
2) Books should only be loaned for renewable two-week periods instead of the entire semester to encourage their· prompt return so that otherstudentsmightuse them,andto preventtheirbecomingforggtteninthe student's room.
B. Resenrematerials:
1) The student's I.D. should begivenin exchange for reserve materials.
2) The two-hour time limit on reserve materials should be enforcedbythe imposition ofheavy fmesforlatereturns.
II. Acquisition ofMaterials:
I)Moremoney shouldbespent onjournals.
2) The library budget for the purchase of newbooks should beincreased.
3) Culmination of objections resulted intheagreement that a remodeling of the dorm would improve the
'The discussions produced one clear conclusion: The Honor Code IS one of the more worthwhile institutions on the Hi11.'
3) There should be greater faculty/student input in the compilationofabook purchase list.
Ill General Conditions:
1) The library should open at 10:00 AM. oh Sundays for a trialperiod.
Honor Court and J-Board
The discussions about the effectiveness of both the Honor Court andJ-Board produced one clearconclusion: that the HamiltonHonor Code is on of the more worthwhile institutions on the Hill. Students, faculty, and administrators from both campuses stressedthe need for maintaining the effectiveness of this Code and suggested way� of strengthening it. Other points.were raised regarding the J-Board and HonorCourt, several ofthesebeingexpecially noteworthy.
I. Honor Code Publicity
a) It was recommended that Hamilton hall advisors be required to explain the Honor Code to all their advisees, perhaps during ahall meeting.At this time, the strengthsand value of the Code could be impressed upon new students, while the areas where it may have been severly tested could alsobediscussed.
b) Presentatioh should be made in all freshman English sections, featuring a similar discussion of the Code. Some people suggested that the people leading these discussions should in all casesbestudents, as more weight mightbegiven to the statementsofapeerthana faculty member,atleastin thisparticularmatter.
c) It was generally agreed that the responsibility ofstudents to turn in violators·of the Code should be re-emphasi:z;ed,as this is the key tothe effective working ofthe Honor System.
II.Limitationsofthe Code:
Even though the Adler participants felt the strengthsofthe Honor Code make it .worthwhile, many recognized the limitations of the amount of integrity one can reasonably expect from an individual. In line with this recognition, the possible institutions of self-scheduled exarris was regarded as a potentiallydangerous "strain" ontheHonor Code.
a) In light of recent infractions of the Code during testing situations, several groups suggested that take-.home, closed book exams were straining theHonorSystem,andshouldbe re-consideredinterms oftheirtrue value.
b) A iarge burden for maintaining the Honor System was placed· on the faculty. The specificsuggestionwas made that le� weight beput onfinalsandmid-termsas determinantsof the finalgrade.
m. KirklandandtheCode: It became apparent duringgroupdiscussionsthata generalhaziness on the part of Kirkland students exists regarding the Code which might be hampering its effectiveness.
a) It was recommended that Kirkland students be made aware of the importance and ramificatio_nsof the Hamilton Honor Code. A program similar to the proposed Hamilton hall advisor meetings could be instituted at Kirkland which would decrease the "communication gap" between the schools.
IV.J-Board:
Discussion of the J-Boardcenteredaroundthe questions ofhowto better clarify its role at the Collegeandhowtoproduceanawareness in the student body of what that role is. The• most prevalent recommendation was that the Kirkland J-Board shouldpresenttothe Hamilton student body·an explanation of itsproceduresandpolicies, while the Hamilton J-Boardshould enlighten Kirkland students as to itsrole atHamilton.Such clarificaitons couldresultinbetterresultsin the workings of both Boards.

a) The fire exits in the Gym should be marked and publicized.
b) The Fume Hood situation in the Chemistry Building is bad,andsooughttobefixedimmediately.
c) The fire exits at the Pub have been found locked on occasion,andsooughttobeexamined.
d) The Administrations ought to make perfectly clearatthe earliest possible moment who in particular is responsible for public safety here, so that students will in the future know who to �eport problems to and who to watch to make sure repairs and improvements arebeingmade.
III.PhysicalPlantDamage ("Demo")
This problem,-attimestoointimatelyconnectiedwith theproblem of alcohol,isoneofthe worst on campus, with damagebills mounting into many thousands of dollars and morale and college spirit constantly being weakened. Some damage, such as that which may occur in Dunham, may be accidental. Whether it is nor not, a major problem is that peo_ple are not turning others in for damage offenses as they ought to do. Honesty in reporting damage is the real solution to the problem. Until there is evioence of greater student responsibility it seems wise to take substantially more stringent measuresto cutdowriondamage.
Recommendations:
a) The colleges, damage bills ought to be postedinthe same way committee announcements should be, is suggested above. A list of what other things damage money could be spentonmight serveasan impetus tostopdamage.
b) The colleges, if they do not already do so, should send regular bills home to parents and to students, instead of simply telling the student to pay up. At the same time, a note shouldbesenttoparentswiththe billencouragingthem to have theirson/daughterpayfor the damage.
c) The list of whatparticularbitsofdamagewill be billed at, recently sent out by Dean Bingham's office, is good and ought tobemaintainedand updated.
d) Arrangements ought to be made with the Business Office -so that damage bills are sent out at once. However many problems this might cause will be far outweighed by the merits ofthe·immediatebilling.
e) Although Dunham often lends itself to "demo" the fact should not be used as an excuse. The Dunham advisors should be givenstricter instructions to cut down on damage, and should make strenuous effortsto follow the instructions closely. It is the opinion of at least some ofthe members of the Conference thatdamagelightlyregardedin Dunham may lead · to students lightly regarding damage during their

situationfromall perspectives.
e) In co_!lclusion, it was agreed that all housing decisions should bebroughtbeforebothcampuses before the decisions are ·finalized. Once proposals are announced, it is the students' responsibilityto voice complaints orsuggestions for changes.
Career Center
Whatever diversity of opinion there was between tq.e discussion groups on other topics, for the Career Center the Adler participants had little Lut parise. However, it was generally felt that the student body as a whole did not completely understand the operation and· purpose of the Center. It was unfortunate tha many studentsexpect the Career Center to provide jobs while the Center acutally provides onlyadvice;
Most of the suggestions made concerning the Career Center dealt with the better use of alumni, specifically to develop a more systematic us� of alumni contacts for:
a) jobplacement,and
b) placement in graduate schools, (particular!y law and medical schools)
Other suggestions included:
a) bringing to the campus more people from Businesstotalk tointerestedstudents,and
b) holding a seminar, chaired by a husband and wife whoboth have job�, to discuss the problems they have encounteredin pursuing their ca.rrers.
It was generaliy agreed that more sl1ould be done to publicize the services and information the Career Center can provide for the students. It was recommended that more time should be devoted to explaining the nature of the -Center· to freshmen during their Orientationsessions.
-Libra�
Very few suggestions·concerning the library failed towinmajority support among the membe�s of the Adler Conference. The loss/theft of library materials was regarded as a serious problem requiring prompt, effective solutions. There was great sutdent concern overthe slow growth in the resources of the library, and as is the panworld situation with most departmental budgets, the inevitable request for more funds is made - thelibrary budgetis notan exception fromthe general case. As an aside however, though Adler participants noted specific needs for more library funding, there were no recommendations made as towhat otherbudgetsthe increasedlibrary funding should be drawn from. In addition, the overall condition of the library building itself was considered, although- few sugg_estions weremade.
A. Lo�ofbooks:
1) It was �reed to strongly·recommend t'· the College the installation ofthe magnetictape securitysystem.
2) Books should only be loaned for renewable two-week periods instead of the entire semest�r- to encourage their' prompt return so that otherstudentsmightuse them,andto preventtheirbecomingforgQtteninthe student's room.
B. Reserve materials: -,
1) The student's I.D: should begivenin exchange forreserve materials.
2) The two-hour time limit on reserve materials should be enforcedbythe imposition of heavy fines forlatereturns.
II. Acquisition ofMaterials:
1) Moremoney shouldbespent onjournals.
2) The library budget for the purchase of new books should beincreased.
'The discussions produced one clear conclusion: The Honor Code IS one of .the more w·orthwhile institutions on the H.ill.'
3) There should be greater faculty/student input in the compilationofabook Purchaselist.
III. Gene�al Conditions:
I) The library should open at 10:00 A.M. oh Sundays for a trialperiod.
Honor Court and J-Board
The discussions about the effectiveness of both the Honor Court and J-Boardproduced one clearconclusion: that the Hamilton Honor Code is on of the more worthwhile institutions on the Hill.Students, faculty, and administrators from both campuses stressedthe need for maintaining the effectiveness of this Code and suggested way� of strengthening it. Other points.were raised regarding the J-Board and HonorCourt, several ofthese being expecially noteworthy.
I.Honor Code Publicity
a) It was recommended that Hamilton hall advisors be required to explain the Honor Code to all their advisees, perhaps during ahall meeting.At this time,the strengthsand value of the Code could be impressed upon new students, while the areas where it may have been severly tested could alsobe discussed.
b) Presentatioh should be made in all freshman English sections, featuring a similar discussion of the Code. Some people suggested that the people leading these discussions should in all casesbestudents, as more weightmightbegiven to the statementsof a peerthana faculty member,atleast in thisparticularmatter. '
c) It was generally agreed that the responsibility of students to tum in violators·of the Code should be re-emphasized,as this is the key tothe effective working ofthe Honor System.
II. Limitationsofthe Code:
Even though the Adler participants felt the strengthsofthe Honor Code make it worthwhile, many recognized the limitations of the amount of integrity one can reasonably expect fromanindividual. In line with this recognition, the possible institutions of self-scheduled exams . was regarded as a potentially dangerous"strain"onthe Honor Code.
a) In light of recent infractions of the -Code during testing situations, several groups suggested that take-home, closed book exams were straining the HonorSystem,andshouldbe re-consideredintermsoftheirtruevalue.
b) A iarge burden for maintaining the Honor System was placed·on the faculty. The specificsuggestionwas madethat less weight beput onfinalsandmid-termsasdeterminantsof the final grade.
ID.KirklandandtheCode:
It became apparentduringgroupdiscussionsthata generalhaziness on the part qf Kirkland students exists regarding the Code which might be hampering its effectiveness.
a) It was recommended that Kirkland students be made aware of the importance and ramificatiop.s ofthe Hamilton Honor Code. A program similar to the proposed Hamilton hall advisor meetings could be instituted atKirkland which would decrease the "communication gap" between the schools.
N. J-Board:
Discussion of the J-Boardcenteredaroundthe questions ofhowto betterclarify its role at the Collegeandhowtoproduceanawareness in the student body of what that role is. The• most prevalent recommendation was that the Krrkland J-Boardshouldpresentto the Hamilton student body·an explanation of itsproceduresandpolicies, while the Hamilton J-Boardshould enlighten Kirkland students as to itsrole atHamilton.Such clarificaitonscouldresultinbetterresultsin the workings of both Boards.
...Adler Report
Advising
Members of the Adler Conference in general feltthat the advising systems at Hamilton and Kirkland were good. While the following comments are directed primarily at Hamiltonadvising�readersshouldremember that some ideas may apply ti,., Kirkland as well. The distinction between problems uf the individual advisor was made, and it was pointed out that the Conference was set up soasonly tosuggestsolutions to problemsof the system One procedural note: a primary d1stinction between advisors is between student and faculty advisors therefore the term student ad,isor:s has replacedthe term freshmanadvisorsin this report. Facuity Advisors:
1) It was noted that r�cent!y several faculty advisors have been using studP.nt assistants. Many Adler participants voiced a desire to sP.P. an expansion of the facetofacademicadvising. This would allow st11rlF-nts to obtain advice from Majors in the department at the time of course choosing.
2) An importrnt prohlem that was raisedabout the faculty aqvisqrs was that they were not familiar enough with various concentrations, requirements, and registering processes. A strong effort should be made by the Associate Dean's Office to fami11c1rize advisors with all departments at Hamilton and equa�y importantly,alldivisionsatKirkland. '
3) Advisors, to better understand how their advisees are doing academically and otherwise, should call themin halfwayduringthe semester for conferences.4) During registration for freshmen, a set of faculty advisors should be
1) In general, it was said that student advisor did well when it came to personaladvising,and that no better system would be found. Some people felt that the advisors should become more familiar with the academic advising procedures.
2)Anotheraspectofthe studentadvisorswhich drew some criticism was the financial benefit obtained. It was noted that Kirkland student advisors receive only a free phone installation, while Hamilton advisors get 700 - 800 due to the college's rebate of a percentage of the advisors' room and board charges. It was certainly agreed that aspect of the advising system should be re-evaluated, and there was strong opinion that only a free phone installationshouldbe given toadvisors.
3) The selection system came infora greatdeal of criticism. Several groups felt that the selection processshouldtakelonger, and thatin particular the �nal interviews should not take place during a single evening as they now do. The composition of the selection committee should be enlarged. to include freshmen, since they hav� most recently undergone advising from students. It is to be hoped that juniors who are re-applying for their.senior yearwill be given a more careful examination that has occurred in the past. Finally, members of the Conference hope for a greater diversity in the advisors themselves.
Curriculum
varying viewpoints in matters concerning curriculum decisions, it is important to note thatthere wereseveral areasof generalagreement.
The broad feeling was that there should be more student involvement in curriculum decisions, whether it concerns the issue of tenure, faculty replacement, or the academic calendar. The disagreement centers upon the degree to which students should be consulted on such matters.
1)Credit Hour System:
There was great concern that problemswouldarisewith the assignment of specific amounts of credit to various courses (i.e.' should people get extra credit for lab science courses vs. theater courses). Further, it was feared that theinstructorofa highercredit course mig..1it interpret this to mean that the course should therefore consume a proportionately largeramountofout-ofclass time. Finally it was felt that under the present system, ·students adjust their workload according to thenumber of laboratory classes and extra curricularactivities they havec
a) Most people agreedthat acredit hoursy�tem would not be desirable in our situation at Hamilton College.
2)The Academic Calender
A general dislike forthis year'scalendarwas voiced. The concensus was that students should be made aware of the tentative schedule, and a greateremphasisshould beplaceduponthe processofratification.
a) one group suggested that a few courses should begivenon Saturday at the beginningof the year, thereby gaining a few extra days of cla�room time and facilitating a shorteni� of school year.
b)School shouldstartafter LaborDay,andend before Memorial Day, so that students looking for summer employment will not bepenalized c) A review of the vacation schedule shouldbe undertaken. Are Easter Vacation and Midyear Recesstoo long?
d) More studen1 solicited from r making process.

4)TeacherEvaluation tudents:
Some felt that the ulty should make more of an attempt to evaluate s :nts' work on a personal level. They suggest this b, ne by individual conferences during the semester, that more encouragement of this type of meetir"O y the faculty be done. Some students felt that this is already beingdonesufficiently.
S)SelfScheduling Finals:
The diversity of opinion expre�ed on this topic suggests that a more detailedstudybe performedby the Curriculum Committee. On one hand, there exists a questionasto the equitability ofrequiringall studentsin a particular course to take the final examination at the same time. Some students have courses which require them to take exams on successive days, while other students may have as much as a week between ex.ams. On the other hand, self scheduled finals might put intolerable strain upon the Honor Code. Some finalsdo not lend themselves to revisions for different testdates. Perhaps some compromise might be worked out, whereby finals which do lend themselves to self schedulingwouldbemade so.
6)Student Teaching:
With regard to students teaching courses, the general consensus wasthatitwouldbeinappropriate fora credit course. However, students might be allowed to give an occasional lecture, or lead a class. The WinterTermwas deemedmoreappropriateforstudent teaching.
7) The RoleofDepartmentMajors
a) A committee of fourorfivemajorsmight be very useful in an advisory capacity to help teachers make curricular and faculty decisions. A specific areain which thismight beemployed concerns tha replacement of the faculty. When a professor temporarily leaves, it would be an opportunity to bring in a professor with curricularexpertise inanarea differentfrom the instructor on sabbatical. The group of majors could be of help in deciding what areas of instruction are lacking in a department. fu addition, several majors could be chosen to serve onthe selectioncommittee.
8)Pa�/Fail Option
There was marked disagreement on the amount of time which should be allowed to elect the pass-fail option, While some felt that the first week of classes is an inadequate amount of time in which to make this decision, there were others who felt that the pass-fail optionbeingabusedby some studentswho elect pass-fail in order to avoid courses which are rigorously marked. These individuals point out that pass-fail should be chosen only for a course which would ordinarily notbe taken by the student.The:r:efore, some people feel thata week is ample time in which to Jllake the pass-fail dicision.
a)Thebroaddisagreement onthisissuesuggests that a re-evaluation of the pass-fail option :.:hould bemade.
9) Several Other Suggestions Arose Which Should Warrant Some Consideration
a) Weekly meetings between the Academic Council and the student curriculum committee shouldbeinitiated.
b) Several groups suggested the reinstatement of the Senior Study program, a senior project similar to the program used at Kirkland. Ifwas stressed. that this program would not necessarily be good for all students, but these groups felt that it should beprovidedasanoption.
c) Some requested that a hand-out sheet defining plagarism bedistributed toall students every year, rather than just those students taking English 11. Every Department should make an effort todistributethesesheets.
d) To coordinate the aid and advice of department majors on the topics mentioned above, one group recommended that the Departments consider re-instituting some type of Senior Seminar. The Senior Seminar would be organized as a regular meeting (perhaps bi-weekly or monthly) of all seniordepartment majors and the department faculty to solicit recommendations and possibly make decisions concerning those i�ues in the departments which would benefit fronf student participat�on.(��e. those issues listed above.)
Adler 75 Conclusion
The -unplementation of the suggestions contained in this report is now the responsibility of the legisilative bodies of both colleges, and therein lies the succes or failure of Adler '75. Based on the tempo of creative thinking at the Conference, the venture has been a strong success.
Yet there were a few points made during informal discussions at the Conference concerning both the structure and future of Adler. The competence of the Adler participants in creating viable solutions for the many issues considered was very high. However, more time should be devoted, before the Conference, to preparing the participantswith the informat10n they will need to solved the issues presented to them at Adler. Following the conference, an established student orgaruzation whould be ready to function as an Adler follow-up committee. This year the Student Interest Committee is fulfilling that role, although that decision was only made during the Conference weekend. Generally, the structure of pre-Adler preparation and post-Adler follow-up should be strengthened and formalized, to make the Conference itself an even greatersuccessthanithasbeen.
With regard to the future of A4ler, many people suggestedthatitwasnow timetomakethe Conferencea joint Hamilton-Kirklandventure.Very few -ifany -of the suggestions in this report have much to do with. Kirkland itself. Because of the colse interrelationshipof the colleges, it was suggested that a substantial step to reduced the problem of community would be to make the Adler Conference itself a joint college conference, withthe usual 60-40ratioofrepresentation.
The future of Adler ,75 and 6f allsubsequentAdlers rests with the students, faculty, and administratorswho gover allphasesof life on the Hill.

ThefinancialplightofNewYo'rkCityprobably hascalledforthmorebadmoralizingthananyother recentevent,exceptperhapsthecommentsof PresidentandMrs.Fordabouttheirchildren.Two particularlydubiousreactionsareexpecially instructive,ifonlyforthequestionableassumptions uponwhichtheyarebased.Thefirstoftheseisthe "WhyshouldtheworkerinSalina,(Spokane,Bosie, etc.)paythesalariesofteachersandpoliceofficers inNewYork?"reaction.Thesecondisthe"Ies theirfaultsoletthempayforit!"reaction.One doesnothavetoabsolveNewYorkofficialsofgrave deficienciesinordert0-seethatthetwokindsof reactionscharacterizedaboveareopentoserious objection.
Underlyingthefirstreactionistheassumptionof onewaycontribution-thattheNewYorkerwillbe therecipientofoutsideaidfromSalina,Spokane, Boiseandtherest.But,aseconomistSeymour Mehnanhaspointedout,NewYorkpays.outfar moreintaxrevenuestothefederalgovernmentthan ittakesin.Indeed,accordingtoMelman,the differencebetweenwhatNewYorkpaysoutand whatittakesinisthelargestforanystate.And,of course,residentsofNewYorkCityhavepaidat leasttheirshareofthatsum.
Thetruepicture,then,isnotofwastefulNew Yorkersaskingforahandout.Rather,itisapicture ofthosewhohavebeencontributingtothebenfit ofothersnowaskingforaloan(tobepaidatleast partiallyoutoftheirowntaxcontributions)to avoidadefaultandtheconsequentpersonalharm involved.

Evenifitisadm1ttedthatthevotersofthecityare toblamefortheirownproblems(whichaswewill seeneednotbeadmittedatall),itsurelyis draconiantoexpectsomanynon-voters,including children,topaytheprice.
Moreover,itishardlythecasethatthemajor shareoftheproblemcanbetracedtoNewYork's officialsorvoters.Rather,itisthatthecitiesof America,;i.ndNewYorkinparticular,havebeen askedtotakeadisproportionateshareoftheburden ofcaringforthecountry'spoorandhelpless.And thatsuchanunequalshareoftheburdenhasbeen placeduponthecitiesisatleastingreatpartaresult ofdecisionsandpoliciesmadeatthenationaland notjustthelocallevelofgovernment.

What can you do with only a bachelor's degree?
Now there is a way to bridge the gap between an undergraduate education and a challenging, responsible career. The Lawyer's Assistant is able to do work traditionally done by lawyers.
Three months of intensive training can give you the skills-the courses are taught by lawyers. You choose one of the seven courses offered-choose the city in which you want to work.
Since 1970, The Institute for Paralegal Training has placed more than 950 graduates in law firms, banks, and corporattons in over 80 cities.
If you are a student of high academic standing and are interested in a career as a Lawyer's Assistant, we'd like to meet you.
Contact your placement office for an interview with our representative.

The Harts: Polls, Psych, and Pinballs
ByROBBYMILLER
Florence Hart asked her husband how much longer The Spectator interview was going to take. Peter responded, "Fifteen minutes - then we can godownto the Game Room.•.l'played the Yukon machine earlier andmyhighwas362,000."
Atop the Bristol Campus Center in the Alexander Hamilton Suite, the Harts were quite at home in their week-long visit to the Hamilton and Kirkland campus asWoodrow Wilson Fellows, which Florence described asa"valuable"and"fun"experience.
Peter, a veteran public opinion polltaker, and Florence, a psychiatric social worker with Catholic University, busily spent this past week in classes, career unseling sessions and informal discussion groups relating their professional lives to this world of academia.
Cynical Majority
In a speech before a large Chapel audience Monday night, Peter said that public opinion surveys show_·that "acynical majority"hasemergedinthe UnitedStatesas aresultofthe politicsofVietnam andofWatergate.
"Public opinion is extremely valuable," said Peter in the interview, "because it has contributed a lot to understanding the beliefs and values of our country."
"Myjob is to get the most accuratepositionof what the public thinksaboutcertain issues," said Peter. "Polls help to bentillate where Americans are. During the Vietnamwar, they provided ahealthy'outlet todiscover thatthe people eventually wereagainstthe war."
In a career counseling session on Wednesday night, Florence Hart said that the job market is very tight in the field of clinical psychology and social work. She advised students here that if they are interested in attending graduate schools in such fields,it isbetter not to have such a heavy undergraduate concentration in psychologyorsociology.
Graduate schools prefer applicants to have a ackground in history or English, saidFlorence,because Rich studies provide the student with analytical skills needed in psychological professions. Also, she said that sutdentswho have a heavy concentration inpsychology rsociology might beboredbytheofferingsingraduate hool.
S�ionaSuccess
"After the session, I made a firm decision not to go
to graduate school immediately after college," said Kathryn Fadem '77, a double major in psychology and sociology. '°The session was helpful because I realized that I didn't know exactly what field I wanted to go into, andthat I needed tohavesomeoutsideexperience first,"she said.
Florence spent part of her week talking to psychology and education classes, including a "child development course in which she described the frustrations and rewards of applying her Freudian-analytic background to her therapeutic treatment ofa "borderlineneurotic" IO-yearold.
Florence said that she views her psychiatric relationship to such a child as "a lifetime committment and responsibility" untilthe child canleadahealthy and happylife onits own.
Peter Hart commented that in the past two presidential elections, the public opinion poll has been misused by the press to distort who were the "real"
winnersinprimaries.
"The results or- elections are reported in terms of preconceived mtions. The perception made by the press is no longerwhoactually winsbutwho shouldhavewon andbyhowmuch," saidPeter.
"For example, in 1968 the winner of the New Hampshire Democraticprimary was LyndonJohson,but if you ask most people who won, they will answer tha Eugene McCarthy won - because of the way in whic thepressreportedit,"saidPeter.
"In essence, the press, rather than the electionitself isdeterminingwho isthe winner," he said. Poll Mechanics
As far as the mechanics of polling go, Peter said tha the way in which the poller asksaquestioncan, indeed, pre--determine the response. He says thathemakesever attempt to insure that the questionsusedbyhis firm ar balanced in such a way that they will not bias the opinion.
"If you wanted to, you can get someone to "agree with" two diametrically opposed statements," said Peter, "For example1 83 per cent of the public agrees with the statement that"Honestcriticism ofthe country can often lead to realprogress''while81 per centofthe public agrees with the statement that 'Too manypeople are constantly trying to run this countrydown;instead, ' they shouldbepositiveandbuild upthe country."''
"You can see that the way these statements are worded makes it pretty hard for a person to disagree witheitherofthem,t' hesaid.
The Harts both said that they hope to be able to come back to Hamilton and Kirkland in the future. "I - found the students here both socially and intellectually mature,"saidPeter.
When asked their opiniononthe foodatthe colleges, Florertce said, "Well the Snack Bar leaves something to be desired." Peter quickly said "Shh" to his wife and commented with a smile, ''We've been treated like royalty."

The New Calculus.· SPC • ts the Teacher's Edge
Thisisthefirstinatwo-part seriesontheself-pacedcalculus program.
By JEFFREY STOLLER
TheSelf-PacedCalculus(SPC) method,begunin1973toprovide mathematicsstudentswithan alternativetotheclassroom,may beextendedtoincludetheentire calculusprogramasearlyasnext fall.
Thatreportcomesfrom AssistantprofessorGordon PrichettandDepartment ChairmanJohnAndersonwho beganSPCatHamiltonand considerittobeagreatsuccess,if notanincreasc,dworkloadforthe instructors.
Speakinginhisoffice,asmall roompackedwithshelvesofmath texts,Prichettrecalledthestartof SPC.
QandA
Threeyearsagoheand Andersonbecameconcernedwith whatwashappeninginthe traditionalmathclassroom. Insteadofpresentinglectureson materialtobecovered,the instructorswerebecoming "immersedinaquestion-andanswerperiod.'�
Bygettingboggeddownwith mereexamples,manystudents foundithardertolearn.In Prichett'swords,they"thought theywerelearninghowtosolve problemsbyseeing[the instructors]solveproblems."
Clearly,therewasnotenough timetosufficientlycoverthe necessarymaterialinclass,and helpindividualstudentsaswell. Prichettstressedtheimportance ofthetimegiventowardlearning niath.Likesoccerorbasketball, hesaid,"calculusrequires practice"inordertomaster "techniques"andperformwell. Soin1973itwasclearthata differentapproachmightgive studentsabetter.chancetolearn.
History
Theself-pacedmethodis hardlyatwentieth-century innovation.Itwasusedinschools asearlyas1840butdidn'tcome totheforefrontinU.S.'education untilthe1950's.Atthattime, saidPrichett,''theKellerPlan"
emergedinArizonawitha programthat,ineffect, questionedtheclassroom approachasthebestwaytoteach.
WhatKellerdevisedwasa methodoflearningbyextensive testing.Studentswouldhaveto demonstrateproficiencym afirst unitbeforemovingontoa second.Thisseemedtoinsurethat thestudentwouldknowthe materialcoldbeforeattempting anythingmoreadvanced.
Hamilton'sSPCconsistsof12 suchunitseachsemester,with24 altogetherforthefullyearof CalculusandAnalyticGeometry. Inaddition,three"proficiencies" aregivenasasummarytestof severalunits.
ThetextusedbySPCstudents iswrittenintheappropriate24 unitsbySaturninoL.Salas.Yet -toreplaceanongoinglecture series,PrichettandAndersonhave themselvescreatedabookletto supplementeachunit.
BookletTells All
Astudentusingthebookletis toldtheobjectiveofeachsectfon andgivenrelevantformulas, definitions,andpractice problems.Moreover,itindicates whichpartsoftheSalasbookto study.
Ultimately,thebookletwillbe soldaspartofa"package"with themaintextanddistributed nationwide.ByJanuary1978, Salaswillbecomingoutwitha thirdedition.Untilthen,Prichett andAnderson'willconsultwith theauthoroverrevisionsthatwill makethetwosections complementeachother.
Prichettsaysthebookletis writtenina"personal,"informal waytoencouragestudentsto improvetheirverbal comprehensionand, consequently,theirmathability.
Specialattentionisplacedon definitionsinthebeliefthata successfulmathematicianmustbe "precise,succinct"andfamiliar withthenuancesofmathterms.
Thisemphasisoneffective writteninstructionisprompted by,whatPrichettcalls,an "epidemic"ofstudentswith verbalproblemsthatkeepthem
fromunderstandingthemathasis necessary.
'Creeping Illiterag'
There'sa"creepingilliteracy" (byHamiltonstandarosof literacy)ineverynewclass,he says,andtheinabilitytoabsorb theideasbehindtheformulasisa majorstumblingblqck.
TheSPCbooklethopesto counterthistrendbyforcingthe studenttopaygTeaterattention todefinitionsthanbefore.hihigh school,saidPrichett,thestudent's tendencywastosimplypageto theproblemsetandpassover otherelementstooeasily.
Freshmen Dominant
TheSPCprogTamconsists almostentirelyoffreshmen. UpperclassmenintheprogTam tendtobeontopoftheclass outperformingtherest,orelse wayatthebottomnottakingit seriously.'(TheprogTamis "designedtobumanyonewho doesn'ttakeitseriously",notes Prichettwithahintofasmile.)
Ofthe135studenttaking calculusthissemester,103chose SPC-overregularclassroom instruction.Thisisasignificant jumpfromthe40percenttaking itthefirstyearwhensomewere placedinSPCinvoluntarily.
Moreover,Prichettfeelsthe evidenceshowsthatSPCstudents p�form"definitelyaswell"as theirclassroomcounterpartson thecommonfinalexam AndersonstatesthatSPCis

TheincentivesinSPC encourageworkinghardandas quicklyaspossible,accordingto Prichett.Anyonefinishingthe proficienciesand12unitsearly maytakeanearlyfinal,witha chancetoretakeit.Anyone finishingtheproficienciesand doing?
Byfreeingthemfromlecture obligations,SPCallowsinstructors moretimeforhelpingindividual students.Inthissense,their "presence"isfeltmoreby_each studentthanif.theywere answeringafewquestionsina largeclass.

AndersonillustratedtheSPC advantagebypointingoutthat, undertheoldprogram,hehad troublehelpingonestudenteach day.Now,hesays,hemighthelp twdvestudentsinanhour.
Tutoringisalsoavailable14 hoursaday.Andersondescnbes thetutorsas"articulate,,math studentswhoknowtheirmaterial butwho"don'thavetobe high-flownmathmajors"towork. Thetutorsarepaidandlearn throughteachingaswell.
YettheSPCprogramincreased thefacultyworkload"oneand onehalftotwotimes".Despite thisextraburdennotfoundina lecturecourse,Prichettsays,"it's worththeeffort"whenstudents moveintoupper-levelmath courseswithimproved preparation.
ThepopularityofSPCand greaterstudentoutputhasraised thepossibilityofcuttingout classroomcalculusaltogether. Throughoutthisyeartheentire mathdepartmentwillhavea chancetotryteachingSPCfora semester,justincase.
SaysAnderson,"Thequestion nowishowmanyfacultyto involve"andwhattheload distributionmightbe.

And one doesn't see how completely the roundness permeatedthe design ofthe building until one gets up close. There are several holes andrings standing outside, filled with earth for smalldecorative tress, which are round. The walls of the inside, the steps leading to the front door, the cement strips set in the pebbled asphalt around the exterior are either concentric segments of concentric circles or lie along the radii of a single center.

SPECTATOR SPORTS
Marty: A Guy to Lead
ByWALLYSTUGIS
In November of 1972, Marty Guy's arrival intheAlumniGymnasium heralded the resurgence of the nearly dead Hamilton basketball program. His high arching, rapid fire jump shot was the perfect complement to a gustsy but unpolished Continental lineup.
But as the Dave Marshalls and Dan Daleys and Craig Fallons drifted out of coach Tom Murphy's program, Hamilton basketball fans were getting used to the team's "I thought you had him" defense, Mark Badgers eye popping one manshow, coach Murphy's rubber faced ranting, and losing.
Two weeks ago,at the first Continental practice, Captain Guy and Coach Murphy led the troops through the drills that will be apartof this year's every day practice routine. One of these drills requires each man to recieve a pass and make three quick passes in succession as everyone moves around a four-cornered formation, usingthreeballsatonce.
Freshman Cedric Oliver was havingtoo much fun to concentrate on what he was doing and he botched up the drill on his first four tries. Then it caught on, and while everyone laughed and whooped it up, all three balls whipped around the floor with uncanny speed and precision. Guy demonstrated three more drillstohis young entourage and it was evident that theContsarefor real.
VarsitySuccumbs
Last Wednesday night, Coach Murphy pitted his newly recruited freshmen against the rest of the Varsity in a
regulation game, and the fans sat inon an interesting preview ofwhatistocomethis season. Marty Guydidnotsuitupbecause of a minor foot fracture, andhissteadying influence was sorely missed by thevarsity squad.
The f!eshman team proved to be very talented, and without Guy's leadership, the Varsity let the contest become a test of raw basketball skills, with little emphasis placed on the execution of patternedplays.
The freshman front line, led by Cedric Oliver, Bill Southwick, and Brian "helicopter" Knox, controlled the defensive boards, allowing backcourt men John McGee, Michigan transfer Bob Malaby and "Shy" Jackson to run an effective fast break.
How Murphy ever recruited such fine talent to play in a gym that would be laughed right out of most high school leagues is anyone's guess, but such is the Continental basketball fans' good fortune.
Not Up toSnuff
Murphy is still depending on the key figures from last year's ECAC playoff varsity, but a rash of pre-season injuries hashimworried.
Forward Brian Coombes, who is the best pure shooter on the team, is ·suffering� from a chronic knee problem that hampers his mobility considerably.
Center MarkRybarczykissickinbedw1th a stomach ailment,nd last year's frosh sensation John Klauberg, was executing one of his unstoppable one-on-one drives against the freshmen when he crashed to the floor with hyper-extendedknee.
&ianCoooi>esis hampera:lby clronic knee iijury.
Perhaps the most damaging loss has beenthat ofBernie "Moose"Mucitelli, the 6'6" bruiser who will not be eligible to play until January 5, and then only if he has taken care of some lingering academic matterswith the college.
If Coombes,Guy and Klauberg can be ready for the season opener, Murphy is confident thatthis year's teamcanhave an excellent season. The front line is small, but with the addition of Cedric Oliver, who is problably the best young talent to arrive in years, the Contsshouldbe able to rebound well enought to initiate a fast break offense.
Murphy also plans to use a pressing man to man defense, and if necessary, he will use as many as ten men per game to keep the defensivepressureon at all times. For the time being, his bench help will come from Mark Curran, Mark Kasdorf and Bill Tarbell in the forecourt, and Kevin Smith and Jerry O'Neil in the backcourt.
Sophomore Willie Jackson is an
accomplished quarterback and defensive hawk, but someone must be ready when he's tired or in foul trouble, and the someone might even befroshJohnMagee. Fun-damentallySound Murphy's concern over the injurylist is genuine, but he hasbeenverypleasedwith the over-all attitude on the team. "They all like each other, they havefun together and they are enthusiastic about the prospect of winning together," said Murphy, and that is the sort of attitude that canmore thanmakeupfor afewsore knees.
He's not even worried because the Varsity lost to the frosh last week. He wants to let the freshmen play together, but he's convinced that someone for Bob North's young team can eventually move up to the varsity to take care of any personnel problems. There will be no national championships won in the Hamilton gym this year, but there will be some very good basketball, and more often than not, somehappy fans.

Pucking Off at Defensive
BySTEVEHAWEELI
Since November I, the Hamilton College hockey team has been skating in preparation for their quest of the ECAC Division II crown. Earlier in I975, the Continentals lost a heartbreakingdecision in the final round of the post season tourney to Bowdoin College, ending a fruitfulseason ofplay.
There were no marks of frustration in the loss - Hamilton had previously knocked off Merrimack College 4-3 in what many thought was an upset. Boston sportswriters, no doubtpartial tothe local hockey teams, twisted Hamilton's successful seasonintoaCinderellastory of sorts. But the Clinton basedsquadboasted an over-all 17-8-1 record, hardlya magical feat.
Losing just four seniors to graduation last year, Coach Greg Batt faces two chores in molding a consistent team capable of being DivisionII champions: he must fill a defense spot vacated byoneof the most valuable skaters on last year's team, Rick Aubry, and he must sculpture amoreproductive thirdline. What'sThatLine?
Batt's third line problem is perplexing. Hopefully, a combination that clicks can be found among freshman Steve Mars, seniors Dave Pryor, Al Colby, and Dick Malcom, sophomore Ted Molloy, and junior Chip Williams. Pryor and Colby could also bolster the defensive ranks, perhaps even stepping in at a regular spot with co-captainDonnie Armstrong.
Last year Armstrong coupled with formerco-captainAubry, whomBattcan't seem to get off of his mind. Aubry's defensive savior-faire was unmatched on the ice; moreover, he added ten goals and ten assists for twentypoints.
Two Transfers Bolster Court and Rink
Hamiltonbasketballandhockeysquads. havebeenbolsteredbythearrival on the Hill oftwo trasfer students�Butthey cannotcompeteimmediatelybecause of NCAA eligibilityregulations.
Bob MaJaby, a high school basketball star from Hicksville, Long Island, turned down Coach Tom Murphy's offer to matriculateon theHill3yearsagoin favor of a full athletic scholarship at the University ofMichigaJL
Malaby played on Michigan's varsity as a freshman, but was injured andsaw little playing time. Malaby becamedisillusioned with Michigan during his sophomore year, during which, he says, basketball becamea job, almostprofessional innature.
Malaby said that he had been told that his classes would come first, but that it didn't work that way. "They didn't care about youasa person," hesaid.
TheformerLong-Islandersevered his ties with Michiganoneyear ago,- and wished to emoIlinHamiltonlastJanuary. Hewastoolate in applying,however,and hadto waituntilthissemester.
Thetow-beadtrlguardisnoteligible for varistyplaythisyearbecause of NCAA regulatiom.Buthewillkeep his competitive edgebyplayingwith the JV. He wm thenhavetwoyears of varsity eligibilityremaining.
Malaby is pleased with the relaxed attitude he's noted at Hamilton. He said that he acutallyenjoys goingtopractice,a situation that didn't existattheUniversity of Michigan He also notes that N Coach Bob North is a low-key mentor who gets the best out of his players.
Coach Murphy said, "Malaby will definitely help us next year. We're very gladto havehim."
GodsendfromWisconsin
Hockey Coach Greg Batt is equally pleased with his acquisition, and he doesn't have to wait ayearfor the results.
Transfer student Tim Hausmann from the University ofWisconsinwillbe eligible to play after January 7th. Batt terms Hausmann a "highly qualified Division II player, capable of handling any position. He has a fine attitude, skates well, and knowswhathe'sdoingatall times."
Hausmann will either team up with Captain Donny Armstrong on the first defensive shift, or play on the third line. Which position he ultimately holds will depend on how the teams shapesup in the early going.
Batt said that he would prefer to put Hausmann on defense, where he would enjoy ni.ore playing time and act as an "offensive"defenseman.
Sage: Drought Seen
Armstrong can ably handle the leadership duties he inherited fromAubry, but the team will sorely miss Rick's total contribution.
Yet, Batt has an ace up his sleeve that will surely win him ahand-an aceinthe person of senior transfer Tim Hausmann from U. ofWisconsin.
Tim Hausmann's talents as a skater, puck handler, and hustler afford Batt the pleasure of waiting until Jan. 7, when Timmie becomes eligible to be inserted either as a regular on the thirdline or asa regular defenseman to work with Armstrong. On the third line Hausmann could easily score goals, whichis especially what Batt wants fromthis line, and as a defenseman he could vastly improve the Blue's break out of their defensive zone. Hausmann has always played line, but whether he plays defense or line, Battis sure he'llseeregularaction.
DoubleTrouble
The bulk of last year's scoring came from the first two lines which remain intact. Batt believes there is no reason these lines won't be even more prolific at tallyingthisyear.
The fast line is composed of juniors Phil Hildebrand, George Gillmore, and Tom Griffith, one of the most productive lines in Division IL The second line includes the other co-captain, Rick Anderson, Lenny Thomas and Keith O'Brien. Anderson isa fast skating and aggressive player characterizing Hamilton hockey, who also played on the sameline with Hausmann at Deerfield Academy in theiryoungerdays.
Besides Armstrong's shift on defense, Kurt Ziemendorf and Bob Bauer, two Buffalonians, remainasasolidandreliable defensive pair. Batt couldn't be more pleased with this crafty and hardnosed pair. Ziemendorf was selected as an all ECACdefenseITBnlastyear.
Net-Minders
In goal for the Conti!_lentals will be Shawn George andRay Rossi forthe third season. Rossi performed exceptionally well in the nets during the playoffs, and the Coach has muchconfidenceinhimfor the biggame.
One man who is invaluable totheteam is assistant Coach John Karin-, an easy going, pipe-smoking mentor who commands the repect ofall players.Coach Karin keeps the boys up for each game throughout the season, as well as keeping theminshape.
One note of interest about thisvarsity squad is that, with the exception of the freshmen, the entire team belongs to the same fraternity which means they eatall their meals together, andin some instances sleep under the same roof. Asaresult,the team isavibrantfamily that istogetheron andoffthe ice.

Hamilton-Kirkland Water: Hard as Nails
ByALLAN HAMILTON
The water quality at Hamilton and Kirkland colleges is "unacceptable," according to standards proscribedby the United States Public Health Service. In termsofthe levels of water hardness, dissolved solids, iron, and alkalinity, the quality of the water here leaves much to bedesired and the source of this problem canbetraced directlytowhere our water comesfrom.
There is no material whose influence is more far-reaching within a community, be it a protozoan organism or a college community, than water. This college community offers astrikingexampleofjusthow pervasive the consequences of water source can actually be,of how a simple set ofgeologicalconditionsradiates into emergent, complex properties at various levels in the"systems" of acollege organism.
In a nutshell, Hamilton and Kirkland Colleges sit in themidst of aseriesof sloping strata, bordering on what is called the Onondaga limestones and the Oriskany fonnation. In the midst of these strata,are found Bertie "waterlime" dolostones, Oneida Conglomerate, shale and the familiar reddish sandstone from which manyof thebuildingsat HamiltonCollege are constructed.
While the geologymay haveprovided this community with building materials, it also has provided limestone, rich in calcium salts, magnesium, with some iron, silicates, sulfides, and sulfate·s present in astonishing profusion. Water must 'percolate' through these layers, past these various elements and compounds. Waternature's solvent par excellence - picksupagreatdeal of thismaterial in solution.
Chemicals inWater
Add various amounts of organic material , an intinerant microorganism or two, some chlorine to kill the microorganisms, pass it through some plumbingand you have it: HamiltonCollegewater, still colorlessanda liquid (at least) but certainly not odorles or tasteless, and with a few properties you may not have encountered in waterbefore.
Some of the statisticsconcerning the water qualityat the college arequite astounding. For example, college water is sometimes 35 times "harder" than the water in New York City, has almost 35timesasmuch "alkaline" in its water than New York's, and its iron level is 100 per cent higher than the standard "acceptable" level in thecountry.
Thevaluesgivenin the accompanying chart are highly variable with the seasons, usually at their highest in winter when the college must pump water from itsdeep wells. The water from these deep wells, as opposed to rain water in the reservoir, is that water which has travelled the greatest difference through the strata; hence, that water which has picked up the greatest amountofmaterial.
Most of the data cited for Hamilton College in the chart was provided by Professor of Chemistry Donald Denney, who analyzed the tap water during 1971 and 1972. When Denney's analysisiscomparedtosome data available for a few of the nation's cities, it is clear that thecolleges' water qualityis quite poor.
Before anyone runs to the bathroom to induce vomiting after viewing such statistics, it should be understood that "acceptable has nothing to do with "potable". "Acceptable" refers to several parameters, amongst them tasteand moreimportantly industrial and maintenance considerations. The water is drinkablenotenjoyableperhaps -but non-toxic.
Hard on Soap,
around the washbasin and tub in the dormitory. This means you need to use more soap to wash as a large portion of the soap is transformed to an insoluble form.
The American Institute of Laundering found that 17.1 ppm of CaCO3would waste 1.5 pounds ofsoapper 1000 gallons. Therefore, in using Hamilton College water, this community may be wasting up to 60 pounds of soap per 1000 gallons. In rough terms, this would translate into a cost ofapproximately $18.00 oflaundry soap per 1000 gallons and anywhere from$19.20 to $115.20 of hand soap per 1000 gallonsdepending upon whether the use fo Ivory or Camay. Someofthedryness you may feels in your skin is due to this wasted soap being deposited on your skin and evaporating to solids.

For water in laboratory work, th; D;partment maintains a cistern of rainwater, which ispassed through severalionexchangeresinstoyieldawater that givesless than 10 ppm dissolved solids, better than most distilled water. It is a very regretful freshman Chemistrystudent who uses tap water in his first lab assignment when the instructions call for water to be added to solutions or assumes that rinsing his glassware with tap water means itisclean.
It is possible to soften water; there are several processes available but they are far too expensive for aninstallation of the size of the Hamilton-Kirkland community.
It is,almostunbelievably,lessexpensivetorep!ace the plumbing from time to time than to soften the water. The plumbing at Hamiltonsuffersfromasortofchronic hydraulic atherosclerosis, an occluding of its metal arteries with deposits until the lumen cannolonger pass any water through it. Occasionally, signsof these whitish deposits can be seen around the faucet spigots. The reddish stains on the porcelain, on the other hand, are produced from the highamounts ofironin the water.
Effects on Health
Finally, how does the wate� quality at the colleges affect our health? Not appreciably, seems to be the consensus. There are a few cases of freshman diarrhea during the initial period of habituation to the college:s water. This is due to the large amounts of magnesium sulfate, which goes under the popular name of Epsom salts and have a diuretic effect. Eventually the body adjusts to the waterwithoutmuch diffuculty.
The effects of elevated amounts of calcium in a diet are highly and hotlydebatedat present arrlmconclusive dataiaavailable;iron isgood for hemoglobin.

An American Artist • 10 Austria
Would you start with the whole Vienna trip and go through how you ended up here?
I'm not a painter who believes in ..unning around having shows just wherever someone's willing to have them, I Iike to have a fairly large show about every two years that includes everything that I've done within that period, and the problem with tha pictures from Vienna was that they have little relationship to any place at all in the United States, and so when Lettie (Supervisor of the Root Art Center) suggested the idea of havinga show at the Root Center, I thought it was appropriate because there's really no other place,in the U.S. I could or would want to showthese pictures,
They are a very specialized group of pictures in that they represent a definite phase and a definite experiment, and so I thought I would be safest to bring them out in a community where there is an atmosphere of intelligence because otherwise I don't think people would understandthem.
Why do you call them an experiment?
I went over to Europe with the idea of not superimposing my American viewpoint on the scenery of Europe, but making a conscious effort to lose myself, lose my national identitysomewhatin the European atmosphere, based on a specialized knowledge I had of certain Viennese painters.
You are talking about Klimt and Schiele?
Right. They form a part of the past now,·they are past masters, they've been dead 60 years or so but despite what the periodicals would have us believe I think that things in art changemore slowly than the editorial tendency to try to convince us that there's some new movement going on every year or every couple of years • Ithink things change more slowly. I 'could look at surfaces of old walls inVienna that had probably not been disturbed since Klimt and Schiele were there workingthey could have conceivably - it's kind of an animism, granting life to inanimate things, but they couldhaveseen Klimt and Schiele.
Did all of this come out specifically in your work or was it just a general underlyinginfluence?
Well, it was pretty general because I didn't push the idea of Viennese pictures. I could have pushed the identity, the Viennese atmosphere a little bit farther than I did but that would have seemed sort of, trying too hard, I just went along normally and let whateverimages emerged emerge. There are noviewsof Vienna that the casual touristwould recognize.
Did you have any problems with the langu�e and meeting people especially in ways which could possibly be reflected in yourpaintings?
Yes, I think it kept me in a state of quivering hypersensation towards other human beings that grew from a lack of contact with them.Justthe fact that I was a foreigner made some difference, but a
lot of things went together. The Viennese themselves, amongAustrians, aregeneralfy thought of as being especially withdrawn, and I myself am withdrawn and was disposed during this time to hold myself apart from peoplebecauseI feltthatwhile I was there on a Watson, I wasn't there just to pal around, I was there to produce. I knew that I was going to have this show before I left, andso I justthought of the time spent in Vienna as a number of days on the calendarthat were justgetting checked off. I think what I went through is a kind of acuteloneliress that notmany people get achance toexperience. I found after j:hree months of not really having a conversation with anyone that strange things would happen in my mind - it seem·s as though dreams and reality blended in a strange waybecause the onl', time I ever saw anyone whom I knew wa� in dreams
This influenced the pictures greatly, I think, particularly the drawings on whit£ paper, which I refer to as free drawings, The basic impact of them is sexual, but when one really examines all the tender: little knuckles and elbows, knees and just the quality of collarbones and whatnot there's a great compassion there that I think grew from this state of being just sort of the big bundle of exposed nerve endings that I was.
The moreheld off I felt from the rest of humanity the more compassion andskill I could put into the drawings of the figures.
Do you see the whitepaperdrawings as being especially compassionate? I understand why you say that, after looking at them, but on the surface, as you say, the first impact is sexual. It seems, in many instances, the figures are kindof.
Threatening.
Yes. I\.Wsgoingtosayalmost viciousir, some cases.
Vicious, yes.The question is wheredoes the viciousness come in? Because the figures, a great many of them, are based on the contemporary iconography of eroticism, slickmagazine images.
There's a whole group of magazines with photographs that are designed for purchase by men, and then there is another slick bunch of magazines with
Lesbian Feminist Stirs Minds
ByPATIYCOLEMAN
Rita Mae Brown stormed through Kirkland College on Wednesday night, leaving astreamofbellylaughsandradical feminist proposals in her wake. She was brought to campus by the Hamilton-Kirkland Gay Alliance and the Kirkland Lesbian Caucustospeakon"Art asthemorningstaroftherevolution."
The art of the women's movement, she claimed, will strike people's psyches before the core ideology has an impact. Although she elaborated on this point in her lecture, the reading of herpoems and an excerpt from her novel, "Rubyfruit Jungle," demonstrated it with a power unobtainable in a lecture presentation. Rita's southern drawl rendition of asc�e in the novel was almost drowned out by thelaughterofthereceptiveHillaudience. The hilarity was countered by
depressing sobriety as she read and talked about imprisonment, in prisons and suburbia "where women are. dying in efficiently lit kitchens.•• She challenged the movement to recognize that the concerns of these women have not yet been incorporated into movement ideology, and noted that lower class womenhavealsobeenoverlooked.
She stated that the 'artist as sufferer' image contradicts her personal belief that art and change areaproductofjoy.While we laughed and felt that happiness, the messagewasalsoone ofacr.tepain.
Oppression of women, of homosexuals, and of lower class people was brought to our conciousness through a medium that was easily accepted. Rita is a comic,•but even more of a political theorist. The "clean cut All-American Lesbian" has shaken some minds and done so with sensitivityandstyle.
models in them that are designed for purchase by women. The difference between the two is blurre<t I think they areactually the same women, and theonly difference is that in Vogue thewomen are dressed and in Oui, why, they're not dressed. The women are the same, andit's something that someone, somewhere out there is attempting to do to our image of women.
How do Klimt QfJd Schiele enter into this conception of women, .either emotionallyorstylistically?
Both artists built very large reputations as paintersofwomen.They areapparently approaching women entirely differently from each other, Klimt has a graceful, loose, and easy way of representing women, and Schiele's way is more brutal,
balance, even though the women were imaginary.
These women, then, r.epresent your feelings at the particular time and not toward womeningeneral?
Right. Pve calmed down considerab� sincereturning to normal lik
We should talk a little about your paintings. They seem very different from the drawings, in emotional tone aswellas content.
When I approach a painting as opposed to approaching a drawing I feel that it's a more serious undertakingthatinvolves the juxtaposition of more elements. t had been for a long time combininglinesfrom nature with lines from man, in one proportion or another.
This concept actually goes back thousands of years within Chinese paintings where you would see, for instance, an enormousmountainlandscape with dewy, misty trees, swirling clouds and waterfalls, and then inthe very center of it all will be the philosopher's hut, tiny and inrightangleapposition toalltherest of the painting.
All of the self-portraits were done in Vienna?
Everything here was done in Vienna, except for the three pictures.
Which would be ''American Nude." ''Alton Line Landscape,"andthe "Cows." Are the self-portraits then a statement about the imbalance in your life, or are they moregeneralstatements?
The most interesting thing that can be said of self-portraits is why people make
'I think what I went through is a kind of acute loneliness that not many people get a chance to experience.'
his women are existing in this hysterical sea of emotion, they can be just standing there and they look like they're exploding.
There are both kinds of impulses inmy drawings, and I feel in looking at theS£. two men that I'm pulled in two different directions. I was deliberately learning graphic tricks from Schiele: techniques of coIoration, composition and scale, well, just the head size. I've seen many Schiele original drawings and the paper size and the head size are quite similar. The poses, the idea of extreme gestures, extreme, overdriven facial expressions; that's aJI typical Schiele. The shading around the eyes, the running along lines with a thin wash to emphasize one Iine or another, reliance on contour, all that is very Iike Schiele. Something that should be said is that Schiele's drawings are known to have been all made from observation of models as Klimt's were also.
So these drawings are more of a subconscious invention exercise,a kind of a purging of my own pressures and feelings, and these pressures and feelingsin me have probably been created by this slick kind of magazine eroticism that we were talking about earlier. k a mid-20th century artist this justhappenstobewhat I dowith it.
I am a great believer in balances. I read a book which influenced me greatly in Vienna, of an art critic talking about Chinese art and its involvement with the concept of Tao, which involves a baJance, in the world, of male andfemaJe energies. And I was feeling that in my life as it was going in Vienna, this balance was thrown way off. I:wasn't even talking to any women so I was seeking within myself. through pictures, to restore this
them in the firstplace.I had neverpainted a self-portrait until I went to Vienna. When I was feelingvery self-conscious and depressed, and self-consciously depressed, I just found myself wanting to paint a self-portrait, and it's an impulse which think only appears with some kind of questioning ordiscontentment.
A self-portrait isan attemptbyanartist to counter feelings of personal devaluation. He says "Well, I'm-depressed buthereit is andisn't itmagnificent?"
The reaction might be that the self-portrait is magnificent and the'artistis likethis allof the time.
This is a problem you alwayshavewith painting. Anytime you do a painting everybody thinks that that is what you're feeling all the time, when actually what they don't realize is that it's the otherway around; that when you've madea painting you've purged yourself of whatever itwas that came·fromthat painting.
Paintings will alwaysindicatewhereone was, and not where one is.
So you would say that the three paintings done in this country aremorean indication of whatyou're,feeling now?
Yes, I am an American, you know, and for a time I was attempting to set thatfact aside. I have a great love forcertain things inAustrian life, andAustrian art, andama careful treader, wherever I go, and I was able to do that fairly well, to set my nationality aside.
I·knew aJI the time that I was going to get back to being an Americanpainter. I didn't know exactly just what that meant. I still don't a.1d I still have to explore that.

Spanning the Generations
By·JohnSuplee
Trees may be man's best device for placing himself in the scheme of things. Beyond the span of this own lifetime, buildings, subject to disaster, renovation or complete removal are less tangible as monuments of time than the venerable old trees, living and -growing serenely around generations of humanendeavor.Thecampus at Hamilton C01lege offers an outstanding opportunity tounderstand exactly how trees can convey·a concrete and r�assuring sense ofthepassageoftime.
Elms are among the first trees to have photograph of Hamilton College, circa been purposefully planted here. The 1860�,,A row of Elm trees is clearly visible buildings and grounds committee report �f where Othniel Williams is said to have done October 1929 mentions �'old Elm trees his planting, at least one of these trees planted under the resolution of 1828''inits ·survived up until a few years ago, givingus a description oftrees whichwer.e repaired and remarkably clearidea ofjusthow much time "given a new lease on life,, in that year.

The oldest pictorial representations of HamiltQn show rows of these trees not only along the land past Buttrick and Carnegie, butliningthe present campus road and College Hill Road as well. shrubbery at a suitable season oftheyear at anexpense notexceeding fifty dollars."
What near-Original trees we do have area few giantspecimens ofAmericanWhite·Elm, but they are in great danger and fast disappearing from the campus. The building and grounds list·for tree removal from this year includes more than fifty trees,all but 011e ofwhich are elms. Dutch Elmdisease,a plague on our campus for many years, seems now at its height, and the accust0medvisual atmosphere of Hamilton College is the victim.
JOHN SUPLEE' '69is an artist. His work is beingexhibitedat theRootArtCenter.
These plantings may have included a row of Elm trees along a stone wall which ha& since become Campus Road. A manuscript from the year 1868, in a brief summary of. campus development, credits Othniei' Williams, Treasurer of the ooll�e-with the planting of such a row around the tinie of constru�tion of Kirkland and North Donnitories (both beguninthe 1820's).
The first trustworthy visual recor.d 0f the campus is a photograph preserved in the collection' of BurkeLibrary, and identified as �'The earliest known
administration of President Simeon North, three curators were appointed to supervise the beautification of the grounds. In addition .to Professor Oren Root (an 1833 graduate and father of Elihu), the group includeq the professional nurseryman J.C. Hastings and Reverand A.D.Gridley, also an alumnus. They embarked on- an ambitious program which included the planting of more than one hundred varieties oftrees and shrubs around the campus, and particularly in the southeast comer, an area that up to that time had been a pasture and today is occupied byThe Bristol CampusCenter.
There they· sought to establish a quasi-scientific arboreuin with strange species of foreign trees planted experimentally in the harsh New York State climate. Traces of this endeavor are still to bJ found - two trees in particular, located. just north of the Bristol Center parking lot, are listed on Edward Root's 1949 tree chart ��a7J�Id Cypress and a Kentucky Coffee Bean Tree. Preserved inthe library's treasure room is tlie hand-written list of trees.
1860
Planted under supervision of these three men, it includes such other exotic items as five "Siberean Crabs" and six "English StrawberryTrees".Presumably thesedidnot flourish.
This list, which fills some twelve pages, shows nine varieties of Beech,. seven of Ash, and nineteen of Pine (not to be confused with Evergreens in general, of which there appear more thansixtytypes.) Ehnsseemto have more varigated too. Due eigher to a higher state of biological development on earth or more imaginative nursery cataloging, twelve varieties are listed: American White, Cork-Barked, Red, English, Nettle, Purple-,, Rough- and Narrow-leaved, Scotch, Camperdown Weeping, Huntington, andSiberian.
The curators visions were quaint but sincere, as. evidencedin this quotationwhich appears near the end of the 1968 manuscript:"There are many other valuable trees and shrubs which sould be added to our collection. The surface of the land should be graded to a lawn like smoothness and provision should be made for a more (requent mowing· of the grass in summer. Classic vases, sun dials, fountains with jets d'eau and rustic seats or tasteful kiosks might well add their attractiveness to the
simplercharmsof nature ''
• inscriptions, and time-capsule boxes to be unearthed fiftyyearshence.
According to a 1923 article in the Utica Observer-Dispatch, the practice was eventually abandoned because the campus simply became too crowded with trees! (Certain pre-1900 photos in the Burke Archives support this.) The article tells of futile attemptsby theclassof1873 tolocate their box. It goes on to I_Ilention that as the custom went on (during the 70's and 80's) the boxes became less permanently marked.
· This thought, coupled with the fact that many marker stones have since beenmoved, and/or neglected, suggests that the groundsmen who remove the stumps of the many trees cut this year may unearth some relicsof the past.
Twentieth-century pragmatism rules in the 1929 buildings and grounds report
...an area tak�s on from a empty look
vases,
fountains ...classic sundials, -and rustic seats
mentioned earlier. There we read of trees being "treated very much as·a dentist treats the patienfsteeth.''
This is to be taken literally, too; southeast of the Bristol Center stands a tree whose hollow trunk is filled with concrete No more orations or buried treasures. But the concern with treesremains, romanticism or no, for in that year several hundred new ones were _planted, among them the evergreen wind-breaksnear thetenniscourts.
The problem facing Hamilton's landscapists today iswithout precedent. The largest and visually most dominant trees of the campus, the Ehns, must be removed by the dozens each year as the Dutch Elm Disease continues to defyarrest. Great holes open up in the sky; an area suddenly takes on a drastically empty look from a singe morning's work of a few chain saws. Our sense of continuity is va_guely threatened. Overacentury ofslow-grownlife, efficiently removed without a tr-ace, cannot help but prod, however faintly, one's sense of mortality.
But Hamilton, its location, architecture, and other trees all bei{lg as they are, will remain a beautiful campus even withoutthe Elms.Thepresentlandscapist,Terry Hawkridge, feels that trees aretobe planted with thoughts of the third subsequent generation in mind. It is heartening to encounter such clear-sighted and unselfish attitude in a person empowered to actu·ally dosomething.ThetreesatHamilton will remain,asever,gentleinvitations to perceive time'smovementbeyondourselves.

Thisaidrepres.entssizablesumsforboth Hamilton,whosebudgetisabout$7million andforKirkland,whichhasbudgeted spendingatover$4million.
Despitethecontributionfundingmakes totheoperatingbudgetsofHamiltonand Kirkland,PresidentCarovano,likemany educators,isconcernedaboutthegrowing bureaucracywhosepurposeitistomonitor andregulateeducationalinstitutions.
"Aidistheenforcementmechanismfor legislationthathasnothingtodowiththe aid...access(totheoperationandfinancesof colleges)isjustifiedbyaid,"saidCarovano.
National'lobbyingorganization :�;;�;�u��-igcoiiegesanc.iuniversitiesshare PresidentCarovano'sconcernthatincreased
aid-which educators naturally favor-will inevitably bring tighter controlsand a surfeit of demands for institutional data. The American Council on Education (ACE) for example has recently completed extensive testimony with the Department of Labor concerning hiring practices.
CICU President Henry D. Paley accepts the quid pro quo of increased aid-strict accountability, and he favors that so long as itdoes notinfringe on-thefreedomofchoice for an academic institution.
Paley's lobby has been supporting a system of higher education in New York State in which Hamilton and Kirkland and other independents would receive large public contribution in order to put themon a competitive level with ·the inexpensive public universities.
President Babbitt, too, accepts accountability as part of the aid package, and without a trace of displeasure, predicts that Hamilton and Kirkland in five or six years will have to hire a joint full-time administrator to handle government relations for the colleges.
Babbitt's acceptance of what other educators consider their nemesis rests onhis recognition that "We [Kirkland] could not have survived, we could not have started without the state and federalgovernments," Kirkland's dormitories were financed by bondsoftheStateDormitoryAuthority;the federal government subsidizes the interest Kirkland pays onother buildings.
"Giventhe factthatwegotsomuch from those oources, rm surprised we are not hassledmore thanwe are," Babbitt said.
CICU Vice President Maxwell predicteda distressing outcome: "There is going tobea revolt against all this data collection andthe issue will be freedom of academic institutions. WillColumbia sell itssoul toget more federal aid? In too much control, you kill whatyou are trying tohelp."
Responding to Acronyms
If higher education's revoltagainst public bureaucracy comes, what will have caused it? Right now, for small colleges ·like Hamilton and Kirkland, gevernment intrusions means added paperwork for administrators butit has not posed a threat to either college's integrity. Nonetheless, an examination of gevernment requests show them to be growing in complexity and volume with nolimit yet insight.
For the state government, Hamilton and Kirkland prepare the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) and the Higher EducationData Survey (HEDS). HEGIS is actually collected by the United
States Office of Education; the Albany bureaucracy acts as a compiler and clearinghousefor theinformation. HEDSisa supplementary survey done by the State of New York, though the state government makesuse ofboth surveys.
HEGIS, according to Lorenz Worden, associate coordinator for the Office· of Postsecondary Research, Information Systems and Institutional Aid of the State Department ofEducation, is a "monolithic, three-quarter inch thick" document with numerous questions concerning enrollment data, finances, migration of student from other states, and other such statistical information.HEDSaskssimilar questions.
Besides these reports, the responses to which are collected in segments from colleges at different times of the _year, institutions must submit a "Master Plan" every four years and present a progress reportaftertwo years.
The Master Plan is designed to be -a statement of goals and ordinarily includes planned changes in the academic program, recruitment of students and faculty, construction projects, and recommendations to the State's Board of Regents which ·overseeshighereducation.
As recipients of direct aid through the Bundy program, Hamilton and Kirkland submit another report ea�h yearto thestate which includes a copy of a certified audit,a budget, number of degrees conferred, and· otherdata.
Enter Title IX
HEGIS, HEDS, and these other methods for collecting data do not-and probably will never-represent a threat to academic freedom,and they ar'e not the center of the growing controversy over public bureaucracy's role in independent higher education. Right now, every institution of higher education in the United States must conduct a self-study under anew federallaw prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex, and already, two institutions have taken·thegovernmenttocourt.
Brigham Young University in Utah has informed-the governmentthatthe law-Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972-violates the moral principles and religious freedoms of the Mormon-affiliated institution.
The other college, Hillsdale College in Michigan, has consistently refused direct federal aid and has therefore argued that it should not be required to comply with tl1e uStrange
federal guidelines regarding sex discrimination.
WabashCollege in Crawfordsville,Ind.,a smallhberalartscollegeformensimilarto Hamilto� is not legally contesting federal regulationaccordingtoDeanoftheCoHege Victor Powell, but the staunchly independent college still refuses direct federalaid.
Powell said the oollege has oonsulted lawyers regarding federal regulation, but decidedagainstpersuinganything in court. Powellsaid.thatfacultycontinuetoreceive federal fellowships and student receive federaltuitiongrants.
"We have to protect our students,'' Powell said, adding that Wabash is complyingfullywithTitle IXandwithIRS regulations. Colleges that do not comply with the IRS, said Powell, can lose their tax.exemptstatus.
Powell views the increased federal regulation of colleges like Wabash with dismay, and he is watching with interest Hillsdale'sattempttomakeacasethataidto studentsoughtnottocommittheinstitution tofederalcontrol.
At Hamilton, whose student receive $60,000 in federal tuition aid, a special committeehasbeensetuptoconductthe Title IXself-study.Itsworkisscheduledto becompletedbyJuly1.

President Carovano tried to distinguish between the "reasonable" and "unreasonable" governmentdemand-smade of Hamilton. A reasonable request: the numberofstudents enrolledatthecollege; anunreasonableone:requestspertainingto discriminationinrecruitmentandhiring.
Carovano insists he is in complete agreementwiththeprinciplesofAffirmative ActionandTitle IXbutfindsthemethods anddemands forcompliance to be-overly bureaucratic,tedious,andunwarranted.
S�htly miffed that Hamilton was auditedbytheInternalRevenueServicelast fall-afirstinthecollege'shistoryandanew practice for IRS, which never audited non-profit institutions until very recently-Carovano, none�heless, sees good as well in governmentinterest in college affairs.HeadmitsthatHamilton"wasnotas agressive as we should have been in recruiting minorities and women in the past." He adds that the college isjust as likely to have beenguiltyofthepractices
by New York since the state's computers compilethedataandmakeitavailabletothe college. Kirkland has also used the state's consultants in evaluatingdifferentareasof thecollege.
LorenzWorden ofthestate'seducation department explains the system Babbitt referred,sayingthattheAlbanygovernment is now putting on computer 80 different dataelementsfor each college inthestate.

In addition, the Board of Regents cpmpilestheMasterPlansofeachinstitution and publishes a state-wide report on predictionforpostsecondaryeducation.
The state government also sends.much data to HEW in Washington. Arthur Podolsky, of HEW's National.Center for Educational Statistics, said the federal government provxles information of educationtoCongressandagencieslikethe National Institutes of Health and the NationalScienceFoundationwhichusesthe data to predict manpower that will be generatedinthemedical and scientificfields.

As Title IX andAffinnativeActionhas alertedinstitutiontoinequalities-incertain oftheir personnel policies, the volume of data collected from ·colleges make them aware oftheir financial shape, enrollment am educational trends-a �rt offorced introspection.CICUVicePresidentMaxwell said that though colleges gripe about the tedium of organizing data, "most see the needforplaruting."

Inaddition.althoughneither schoolisspeciallyequippedfor handicappedstudents, Georgetownbuiltseveralramps lastmonthspecificallysothat Marycouldrideherwheelchair fromthedrivewaysuptothe sidewalks.'Whenaskedif Georgetownwas"takinga chance,.byacceptingMary,Dean Sullivanreplied,"No,unlessshe hasanaccident,butshecould haveanaccidentanywhereWhat makesme{eelgoodisthat,after meetingher,Iknowshehasthe personalstrengthtodoanything shewantsto.'•
Inotherwords,Georgetownis apparentlywillingtoriska lawsuitfromMaryMcKne.v,but Kirkland-thecollegeMarywished toreturnto-wasnotwillingtodo that.
Mary,todemonstrateher physicalprowess,visitedKirkland inDecember,travellingsolofrom Chicago.WhenMaryvisitedthe colletre.aconsultingexpertfrom theUticaOfficeoftheNewYork StateDepartmentofVocational Rehabilitationalsocametothe campus.However,John Betzenhauser,theexpert,saidthis weekthatthecollegedidnot seem·particularlyinterestedinthe advicehehadtooffer."They wantedmestrictlytoadviseher nottoattendatall,.,said Betzenhauser.

Betzenhausersaidthathis initialimpressionofhowwella parapelegiccouldhan:llethe climateofClintonwasnegative, butthatoncehemetMaryhe became"ccmvincedshehadthe capability."
''Thegirlhaditsquaredaway inhermindthatshewascapable, andforthecollegetoclearoff thatonewalkforherwhenit snoweddidn'tseemthat difficultl't'houghtitwaswortha try,"saidBentzenhauser.
BentzenhausermetwithMary, JamisonandMacDonaldduring histwo-hourvisittothecampus. ''ThethingIhadheardwasthat thecollegedoctordidnotthinkit wasagoodideaforhertogohere. Anotherfactorwasthelegal liability,"saidBentzenhauser.

"Iconsidermyselftobea normalhumanbeing,"saidMary, Maryalsoexpressedbitterness thatKirklandmadeherfeelthat heruseofacatheterwasafactor whichinfluencedthenegative decision.

UnrealisticExpectations
PolleralsosaidthatDr, KlingensmithbelievedthatMary's expectationsforbeing able to handleherselfindependentlywere perhapsnotrealisticatthistime.

A10percentcutinthestate's TuitionAssistanceProgram(TAP) aidtostudentsatprivatecolleges anduniversitieswasproposedby NewYorkGov.HughL.Carey lastweekinanattempttoremedy theanticipated$50millioncost overrunfortheremainderofthis yearandnext,accordingto HowardMiller,deputybudget directorforCArey.
TAPprovidesneedystudents atprivateinstitutionswith financialassistance,thusenabling lowerandmiddleincomestudents toattendthemoreexpensive privateschools,ratherthanthe stateinstitutions.Hamilton receivesthisyear$325,000in TAPaidand$180,000indirect inttitutional"Bundy"aid. Kirklandreceives$125,000in TAPandRegentsscholarshipaid and$166,000intheBundydirect aid.

Public Notices
Relating to the closing of the Pub Monday night, March I, below is the statement of the Food and Auxiliary Services Committee:
"On Sunday, Feb. 29, a series of eventsoccured in the Pub forcing this Committee to take some sort of action. Basically, the 40 or so people attending the Pub displayed an unusual lack of respect for the bartenders and Security Guards. After repeatedly requesting these people to leave, and getting nQ cooperation, these employees were forced to call Dean Bingham. Only after his continuous pleas and eventual threats did the last group ofpeople leave For this showing of disrespect on everyone's behalf, thecommitteedecided to close the Pub for one night.
The Pub is a private club chartered for the use of Hamilton and Kirkland students; as such, it is a privilege and not a right.The committee hopes (andrequests) thateveryone will use their intelligence in not abusing this privilege in the future."
Since this statement was made up and posted on the outside doors of the Pub last Monday night, certain disciplinary action has been taken by the Dean for those persons most directly involved in Sunday night's incident. As a result of these problems, the committee deems it necessary toclear a few points up: Hour�: (a) Pub opens between 9:00 - 9:30 / as soon as bartenders have set up for the mght.
(b) lastcall at 1:20
(c)counter operationclosesat 1:30
(d) Pub closes at 2:00
Bartenders:
(a) are employees of the college (Service Systems) and thus are responsible for all occurances in the Pub.
(b) they must follow a definite timetable as far as openingand closing (theyare only paid until 2:00 a.m.)
(c) they, as any other tavern or bar employees, should be treated with re!pect(you don't have tolike them, but at leastshould appreciate their position).
Disturbances:
(a) any disturbances in the Pub (fights, disrespect for bartenders, breakage or equipment, etc.), if reported, will be handled by the Dean and/or the J.Board.
(b) The Auxiliary Services Committee has no right to take any sort of punitive action related to disturbances in the Pub; the C0mmittee can, however, recommend cases to the Dean and/or J-Board for disciplinary action.
The committee'realizes that th� Pub may not be the most facilitating area, but plans are in the working for improving the situation. In the meantime, we ask that everytme pleasebear with it and enjoy the place for asmuch asits worth.

Flu Epidemic
The flu epidemic is increasing, not decreasing on the Hill. The Kirkland Health Committee and the Health Center urge all students to getenough rest and exercise common sense and moderation in all their activites. Many more shxlents were admitted to the Health Center last week for the flu than the week before. All members of the Hamilton-Kirkland community should be aware thatthe flu epidemic is not over.

In a decision made primarily by the President of the Student Senate, the Food and Auxiliary Services Committee has been dismantled. Instead, two committees are in the process of formation: The Auxiliary Services Committee, and the Food ServiceCommittee. Generally, the function of each willbe:
I) Auxiliary ServicesCommittee-to consider the variousaspects of the Pub 100 Brsitol Campus Center, and to make suggestions, proposals and recommendations regarding the operation of those two facilities. An inportant consideration of this committee will be the possible relocation of thePubin the near future.
2) Food Service Committee-the three-fold function will be; a) to make suggestions about general quality/quantity of the food and 'foodservice; b) to oveisee the operation of theCoffeehouse; and c)to be anactiveparticipantin theyearly contract negotiations. Specifically, the committee will be consulted about and involved in the administration's review of bids for next year's food contract, and the eventual hiring or rt>hiring of a food service company.
Asa result of the separation of these two committees, each has to start over again. This relates mostly to members-they need members to get anything done!! So, if you have any interest in the food you eat or the condition of the Pub and Bristol, we urge you to get involved.
For thoseinterested in the Food ServiceCommittee, there will be a meeting thiscomingMonday-March !5th- at 3:00 in the Backus Room of Bristol. Anyone interested in the Auxiliary Services Committee, please contact Peter Linder throughCampusMail (Box !528). The Defunct Food and Auxiliary ServicesCommittee
Co-op
The Co-op is an alternative residence option for Kirkland and Hamilton iudents on the Kirkland campus. The 47 students who live there share all food preparation, cooking and cleaning responsibilities. Elected student officers handle management responsibilities as well, including menu planning and financial accounts. Each member is required to work for about four hours aweek tokeep things moving. Bothvegetarians'andcarnivores' needs are met. The dorm is run co-operatively, and therefore its success requiresmembers to beinterested and willing toinvest the needed energy.
All students interested in living in Keehn Hall, theCo-op, next year should signtheir names to appropriate lists in the Dean of StudentsOffices. Kirkland students must do so in the Student Affairs Office no later than April 6 at noon. Hamilton students must do so at Dean Bing.ham's Office before Spring Break, Friday,March 19.
The lottery for the Co-op will be on Wednesday, April 7. The number drawing will be at 3:30 in the afternoon in the Main Lounge of theCo>-op� and room selection at 7:00 that evening. (Thisis after the Off-campus lottery.) To qualify for the lottery all students must have signed up in the Dean of Students Office, and Kirkland students must have paid their Matriculation fee.
Evidence ofthismay be shown by the receipt - to avoid confusion.
In an attempt to function with equal regard for all students, in light of the timited total space in the Co-op and the limited numbjr Qf single rooms, two reco&nized Kirkland Housing rights have been.._ 'V(aiyed for prospective C0-0pers: Kirkland Stude)'lts will not automatically..receive single rooms if they have lived with a roommate for four emesters; Students are asked to waive their right to pull friends in with them.
The order of the Co-op lottery is as follows: Kirklanki1Student Advisor, Kirkland Seniors, Hamilton Seniors, Present Co-op Veterans, and New Co-opers (without differenHation between sophomQres anfi juniors). The Co-op will continue to be SO per cent Hamilton, 5-0 per cent Kirkland, nccpting the Kirkland Student Advisor. Three doubles will be reserved for incoming Kirkland freshwomen. Pending Assembly legislation the Co-op will bean animal dorm.
If you have any questions about all of this or you would like to try a Co=oplunch ordinner, please call Ellen Dinnerman at X4943.

Academicwinterstudycourses willreceiveregularacademic credit,whilecreditfor co-curricularprojectswillbe designatedasco-curricularcredit onthestudent'stranscript.A ,a.dentwillneed35creditsto graduate,ofwhichamaximumof threemaybeforJanuarycourses designatedasco-curricular.
"OurpurposeinWinterstudy, stillshallbetoencourage alternativeexperiences,"said MarnieTownsend,assistantdean ofacademicaffairs.
"Thenewsystemwillallowfor aflexibilitythat32academic creditsandthreewinterstudy creditsdidnotallowfor,said Townsend."Astudentcan honestlychoosethekindof projectshewantstodo,"said Townsend.Studentswillnolonger beobligatedtocompletethe requirementofthreewinterstudy courses,butwillbeabletofulfill thecourserequirementsfor_, graduationinwhateverwayshe deemsbestforher,said Townsend.
RidAnomalies
Townsendhopesthenew systemwillgetridofthe "anomaliesofthesystem/' AccordingtoTownsend,thereare currentlymanyinconsistencies withawardingwinterstudycredit forstudentswhospendasemester oryearstudyingabroadorat anotherinstitution.Now,these studentsreceiveawaiverofa winterstudyrequirement.Ifthe proposalispassed,nosuchwaiver wouldbenecessarybecause studentscouldaccumulate academiccreditinotherways.
TheneedtoreviseKirkland's winterstudywas"mademore demandingbyHamilton's decision,butwasnotcausedby it,"saidTownsend.Theproposal predatedHamilton'snewwinter termplan:inApril1974Peter Marcy,thenactingdeanof academicaffairs,presentedthis proposaltotheKirklandfaculty andthenlatertoSCA.CA, .althoughnoactionwastakerion itatthetime.
CoordinationWith Hamilton
"CorrdinationwithHamiltonis animportantreasonwhythis
proposalshouldbeimplemented, saidT9wnsend.Thisyear,there wereseveralproblemswithwinter studycreditbecauseHamilton awardedacademiccreditfortheir wintertermcourses.Kirkland studentstakingHamiltoncourses couldgetacademiccreditandthe requirementofonewinterstudy waivedifshesorequested,said Townsend. Furthermore,therewasagreat "disparitybetweenthenumberof Kirklandstudentstaking Hamiltoncoursesandthenumber ofHamiltonstudentstaking Kirklandcourses,"said Townsend.Kirklandofferedonly onecourseHamiltonstudents wereeligibletotakeforacademic credit:Humanities217W, ReligionandSociety,though Townsendnotedthatseveral Hamiltonstudentsdiddo Kirklandprojectsnotforcredit.
Ifthenewplanisimplemented
TownsendexpectsthatKirkland willoffermorewinterstudy courses.TwocreditFall/Winter andWinter/Springcourse combinationswouldbepossible andindependentstudyprojects andgroupprojectswouldstillbe anintegralpartofwinterstudy, saidTownsend.
Therewillbeguidelinesfor decidingwhethertheseprojects wouldreceiveacademiccreditor co-curricularcredit,and Townsendnotesthatthe academicguidelineswillbe"more directive"thantheguidelinesfor co-curricularprojects.However, thefinaldeterminationof whetheraprojectistoreceive academicorco-curricularcreditis "heavilydependentonthe studentandherfacultyadvisor," saidTownsend.
BoundbyChoice
Astudentisboundbythe creditoptionshechooses,said Townsend.Onceastudentdecides todoanacademicorco-curricular project,shecannotmidway decidetochangehercredit option,saidTownsend.
TheWinterStudy questionnairesarebeingusedto helpassesswhetherKirkland Studentswanttoreceived aciunemiccreditfortheircourses. Sofar,noconsensushasbeen reachedbasedonthe questionnairesandtheWinter Studycommitteebelievesthat thisimpliesaneedformore optionsandmoreflexibilityin termsofWinterStudyoptions.

TheHigherEducationService Corporation(HESC),accordingto theCICUnewsrelease,wasunable toprovideadequatedata supportingCarey'srequested across-the-boardcut,leadingto theLegislature'sdecisiontoreject theGovernor'srequest.
TAPprovidesfinancial assistancetoneedystudentsat privateinstitutions,enabling middleandlower-incomestudents toattendmoreexpensiveprivate institutions,ratherthanstate institutions.

Thisst.atementismisleading becausetheSteeringCommittee ofthatyear,ininitiatingan analysisoftheoperationsofthe Assembly,wasrespondingto widespreadcomplaintsfrom membersoftheAssembly, faculty,andstudentsaboutits operations.Thepurposeofthe reviewwasnottoestablishthe existenceofdissatisfaction-that waswell·known.Insteaditwas designedtoinvestigatethecauses ofdissatisfactionbyexamining thewayinwhichtheAssembly wasactuallyoperating. If Ms. Dorishadtakenthetroubleto

Colleges'Attrition WidelyDivergent

.\pproximately 60 per cent of all students who attend Kirkland e,·entually complete their degree requirements, while Hamilton graduates 85 to 92 per cent of its students, according to Carl Schneider, vice president ot research and development at Kirkland, and Robin Kinnel, associate dean at Hamilton. Figures in the "American Journal of Education" show that 59 per cent of all students enrolled at four year colleges in the nation eYentually graduate from that institution. This number increases to 65 per cent for four-year private colleges.
,Dean Kinnel said the "because there has been considerable variati.on in the- attrition rate at Hamilton during the past few years, it is difficult to determine trends or make predictions
concerning attrition." Hamilton has _a transfer rate of fivetoten students a year, which remains fairly constant said�nnel.

academic and personal leaves of absence." 'During the past year there have been roughly 30 Hamilton students on academic leave as well as ten students on personal leave.
This ·trend "is in accord with the times and due to the increased flexibilityin the curricularpattern throughout the country," he said.
Schneider said that "because Kirkland has graduated only a few classes, it is difficult todetect any trends in Kirkland's attrition rate. Kirkland's rate of attrition has been inflated by the national trend of student mobility prevlant during the early 1970's according to Schneider. ·
Although Schneider believes Kirkland's attrition rate might be decreasing, he maintained that "it is impossible to predict the future course of Kirkland's attriton rate."

A new book security system will be implemented in the Burke Library by next fall, according to Walter Pilkington, Hamilton Librarian. There are two such systems currently under consideration, and the cost will be in the· neighborhood of $15,000-16,000, if the more expensive is chosen, Pilkington said.
The primary reason for installing such a system is to prevent books from being taken out of the library without being checked out, Pilkington said in an interview earlier in the semester. He said that the library loses about $4,000 a year on books which are taken out unsigned.
Installation of a library sec_urity system was strongly recommended to the College in the 1975 Adler Conference Report.
Both of the systems under
Weneedyou.· �
consideration consist of two "detecting poles" students must pass through when leaving the library, and alarm triggering devices to be attached to all volumes, Pilkington said, adding that the poles will emit a buzzing sound if unprocessed library books pass between them. Books will be treated at the desk when checked out, to deactivate the alarm devices within them, Pilkington said After this is done, students will beableto pass freely in and out of the library with them, he said. Pilkington stated that the main purpose of implementing such a system "is to insure that if you take a book out, \•Ve know that you have it. It is not meant to cast any aspersions on the students. This is not a place where there is any vandalism at all. It (the security system) is an aid that everyone will benefit from. It is not a reflection of the integrity of the students."

Social Series: 1FeeIing the blues
By JOHNM. McNEEL
"'The social scene here? It's B joke. A brutal joke.".
1,/You don't have a love life here,just a social life.,,
"'It sucks.•."
'-'I would say the relations -between Hamilton and Kirkland aren't_ anything to boast about."
11/t's like everyone;s , under water, gasping for air."
Excuses? Generalizations? Self-pity? Orsound evaluations of the campus social situatioh?
Regardless; the statements abovefrom students in all classes, on both sides of the Hill reflect apparently widespreaddissatisfactionatHamitlonand Kirkland with the social life: therelations between individuals at the schools, the amoul')t and diversity of activity, the pressures of maintaining social ties along with -arigorous academic schedule. •
That the problem is not peculiar to either campusisarevelation to many,who· fail to realize that as they sit in their rooms, bleary-eyed and alone-on a Friday night, there are others across College Hill Road - that asphalt barrier- sharing the same woesandthe same frustrations.
Itis a common plight.
Mostly it is one·which remains more or less inthe community sub-conscious - the topic of many conversations and many personal crises but rarely subject topublic objectivescrutiny.
In recent weeks, however, the "social · problem" has been brought to the editorial· pages of The Spectator, on February 27, in a columnby DawnCohen comparing malestudents ontheHilf to the protagonists of the movie "Carnal
Knowledge" and last weekinaletterfrom a "Curious Pair" of Kirkland women, complaining of their eight months of unwilling celibacy, which they blamed in some way on·the.men atHamilton.
- That letter spawned three letters and a column, responding to the allegations of the "Curious Pair" both in a whimsical• and more seriousvein.
Lack of Outlets
Most students interviewed this week were more than willing to express an opinion on the "social situation"ranging frqm "a kind of genera1 disgust" to "complete resignment" - b�t few found iteasy to place any blame.
T h e smalIness of the college community an9 the subsequent lack of activity was often emphasized "Going to a frat party is no different from sittingon the second floor of the library," said one Hamilton sophomore. "The people you see bothplaces arethe same."
A Kirkland womancomplained thatthe community's physical limits are "inten�ified by the isolation. It breeds a
claustrophobia for ·which there are no outlets," she said.
While the smallness of the community is no solvable problem, many think that creating another place to go -a place without the sodden ambience of the Pub or the naked steriity 9f the coffee house - would alleviate much of the social
unrest.
Dr. Donald T. Muilenberg;, clinical · psychologist for both colleges, said social conditions tend to be healthier at schools where the "pace of sociallifeis abit more brisk than it is here. ,. He has for several years advocated the creation of an alternativehang-out.
"We need a facility that lets students interact on a personal level," Muilenberg said. "Setting demands a certain type of behavior - and the pub is no·morethana holeinthe ground."
Stereotyped.Attitudes
If it's not the size that students complain about then it's the stereotyped attitudes: the :'dumb Kirkie" or the "Hamiltoncool" syndromes.

At Hamilton, one will hear that Kirkland students aTe "flighty air-heads," or that "sisterhood seems to satisfythem fine."
The sten(otypes may be inherent ina system of two schools with drastically different ideologies and which attract individuals with different concerns and values.
In the early years of Kirkland, the "dreadful social mismatch" was painfully evident according to psychologist Muilenberg. He feels the situation has improved, and others agree.
But although the blatant stereotypes which categorize Kirkland students as "Kirkies".or· "Kirkettes" and Hamilton men as "dumb Jocks" are more the

Politics '76: Hill activity at ebb
ByJOHNNAVARRE and SUSANCUNN1NGHAM
In a post-Watergate, post-Vietnam climate, Hamilton and Kirkland students· seem somewhat interested i1;1 political events, but decidedly aloof from active participation.
That's the conclusio·n of an extensive Spectator investigation into campus political awareness and activity which included ageneral poll andinterviewswith students.
The poll was completed and returned 'politics are an an amusement, . '1nterest...
by 186 Hamilton students and 123 Kirkland students, roughly 20 percent of the college student community.
Although a majority of students were ri,;iistered to vote - 70 percent of the Kirkland students and 75 percent of the Hamilton students - only 49 percent of all those polled considered themselves "politically aware" and only 21 percent considered the campus "politically aware." ·
Additionally, a Spectator investigation into the extent of current student involvement in campaigning for presidential candidates found only two
students on both campuses actively involved insuch campaigning.
An appeal in last week's Kirkland Matters to anyone interestedin supporting or working for Rep. Bella Abzug in her race for the U.S.·Senate received ''no response at all," according to Candy Appleton, who put in the announcement.
PollResponses
Som� of the fa�tors contributing to lack of political awareness on campus cited by those· polled ranged from an apathetic reactjon to the politics of Vietnam and Watergate, to the .isolated nature of th.e campus - intell�tual and physical, - to just plain laziness, and to the complexity and futility of working within "the system."
Some of the poll responses:
"I have very little political awareness because politics seldom affect me. Iknow this is a rotten attitude but it is arealistic one."
,,The 1political climate' on campus is the same as the social, academic, artistic climates - completely isolated. The reasons are geographica_l and socio-acadernic."
"I have no interest and no confidence in the partisan form of government. r believe that no a-nountofpartisanpolitics willsolve the world'sproblems."
"I think there is a trendamoung young people in reaction to the turmoil of the sixties and seventies. It is a trend toward conservatism and apathy, not only in politicsbut in socialmanners and customs. Far from being idealistic and working to change wrongs, the yourYJ seem happy in theirmaterialism."
Social scene
oontinuedfrompagesix relationships, you're bound to have problems here, " said a Hamilton sophomore. "But I don't findthe Kirkland women any more open to relationships thanthey claim we are."
Is There an Answer?
Most who are aware that similar attitudes exist at both schools are puzzled as to why the social problems still exist. ''People at both places want ·to meeteach other out of need, desperation if nothing else," said one student. "I don't know why itdoesn't happen."
The problem is one which does not easily admit of a solution - if one canbe found at all. Many concur onthe faultsof the school - the smallness, the lack of diversified activity - and the needs - . better,healthierschool-to-school relations.
Despite this agreement, the bad attitudes, the ill feelings remain, whether or not the stereotypes and emotional

'foibies that engendered those f�elings are "justified." It may well be that there are as many variations to the "social situation" as there are students on the Hill.

"for most students here, good grades. and good times are more important than political issues. Political issues seem to be something that get squeezed out of the picture due to the lack of immediate relevance in comparison to next week's exam.'' ..
''I think that at this point in my life, I possess virtually no political power and therefore would get verylittle benefitout ofkeepingupwiththe issues."
Some students who are more actively involved, such as David Tabachnik, editor of the Political Spark, expressed disappointment about the attitude of the students on campus.

Jeff Hjelm and Robby Miller are the only two Hamilton or Kirkland students who actively c�mpaigned for a presidential candidate, to The Spectator's knowledge.
Hjelm and Miller only became actively invplved in the campaign of Democrat Morris Udall a weekandahalfbefore the primary" The two set up abooth atBristol and handed out position papers, answered questions and (to their surprise) even collected some donations to the Udall campaign.

ConflictingViews
In contrast to this opinion, Steve Milford '77 -claimed that politicsdoeffect • life on the Hill, citing therecentpassingof the Backley Law and the resulting controversy it caused. Along with this example were the examples of Title IX, and the threat of a nuclear holocaust.
Slightly over half - 55 percent - of those polled said they considered it "wrong" for students at colleges like Hamilton and Kirkland not to be politically aware. _-Many, though, seem to cling to1their apathy. Saidone, "I think it's anAmerican right to beapathetic."

Kirkland is a school for basket-weav�rs and Hamilton one for grade-conscious boors.
The stereoty�es are persistent. Perpetuated in offhand conversation, given credence, at times, by practices of groups within the schools themselves, universalized by controversy in the letters-to-the-editor of The Spectator, the "packaged descriptions" continue despite the fact that Hamilton and Kirkland may each be becoming more diversifiedthan at any timeinthe past.
"Sure I'vefound good and nice people over there," says a Kirkland sophomore. "But they seem to be on the fringes of the mass."
Claims another: "AtHamilton the guys are sointensely degree-oriented.I'd like to think they're not all grinds, but the system there sort of fostersit."
At Hamilton, the "artsy-fartsy" put-down of Kirkland is not rare incasual
Social Series: 2 Despite new di\/ersity, old images linger
conversation. "Mqst of the people over there don't seem too smart," says a Hamilton freshman.
On Both Sides Now
Clinical psychologist Dr. Donald T. Muilenberg said last week that he often hears stereotypes used by students who come tohim for counseling.
"Kirkland students complain that Hamilton men areuninteresting, immature and out of touch," he said. "Then Hamilton students find the women not-too-bright and claim they don't take life seriously:J The stereotypes extend beyond thepeople to the facilities. Kirkland courses are all "guts;" the coffee house is a "hangout for lesbians;" Emerson Library is a "Mickey-Mouse joint." Hamilton courses are "grade-oriented;" the pub is a "wretched hole;" and the Science Library is where "you can find the "nurds" grinding away.
And too, there are sterotypes within stereotypes Each fraternity at Hamilton supposedly has its characteristic image. Each interest group at Kirkland supposedly has a faceless identity distinct fromitsmembers.
Some of the stereotypes, as one Hamilton junior notes, are self-imposed. "There are an awful lot of people here into acts. They get known for thelr groups, not as individuals. But then, that seems tobe they way they want it."
Relations Hurt
That the stereotypes hamper, and ' probably harm, social relations between the two schools seem evident. Many students interviewed claim that the "image" of the other school bothered them. For instance, one Hamiltonstudent says, "I find myself very self-conscious in conversations with Kirkland people. Because of this �hole feminism thing I feel I'm being judged ifIrefer to someone asa girlinstead of awoman."
Why the stereotypes exist is not a

questioneasily answered.
Often the problem is blamed on the simple difference in system and academic ideology atHamilton andKirkland.
"The fundamental character and philosophy of any school will attractvery definite kinds of people," said R. Gordon Btngham, dean of 'students at Hamilton. "Because of the reputation that precedes these two schools-based on the people that have been to them, and the results that have been achieved- the applicant pools may differ somewhat in character."
Bingham added that he has noticed an increased diversity in the student communities at both schools in recent year.
"There's just no such thing as a sterotyped Hamilton man or Kirkland woman," he said:
Some students describe the two-school system as "unrealistic," claiming that the stereotypes which exist here because of separation are not the case at co-educational schools.
According to oneHamilton sophomore, "The people at this school are too removed from the reality of femalehood, and vice versa, I guess. If you have them living right next door to you, andyousee them going to the bathroom every morning, it's a totally di'fferent matter."
A Priori Attitudes
Ironically, it is sometimes a lack of contact ·that' leads tosterotypes. Itseems the greatest·difficulty in people from the two schools relationg stems feom attitudes which exist independent of any contact with those whom the stereotype is
supposedto represent."
Stereotypes can be used as excuses, as reasons for a lack of friends, as an easy way to avoid often-embarrassing socializing.
Stereotypes givecomfortto thestudent who complains, "there's just no one over thereI'm int�restedin going out with."
Or sometimes the . contact is there, but it is too minimal. As one Hamilton sophomore relates:
"Like the second day here freshman year some friends and I wnet for awalk -over to KirkJand. We met some really strange people, actingkindofspacey. This one girl was just like the stereotype· frizzed-out hair, organic food, hairy pits-the wholedeal.

Jewish Students- Group • IS close-knit
By SANFORD STIASSNI
Passover has come and gone, and its passing has been met with indifference by many on College Hill. For the members of the Hamiiton-Kirkland Jewish Students Gro�p, however, the past week of religious obse�vances was a busy and fulfilling one.
Consisting of approximately thirty people, the Jewish Students Group is one of several informal organizations that are active on campus. While m,any of its activities center around the celebration of traditional Jewish holidays, the group is also important to some of its members as a form of self-expression.
Co-Chairman Ken Lehman cites the religious and culturalaspects of Ju_daism as an important part of his involvement in. the group. "The Jewish Students Group has had a very vague history over the past several years, partially because of all-around student apathy and also because some students don't want to be identified as being Jewish."
Reminders of Past
In addition to holding regular Sabbath services on Friday evenings last semester, the group has organized services in the Chapel for Rosh Hashonah, the celebration of the Jewish New Year, and Yorn Kippur, a holy day of atonement. As part of the Sukkot last September, a holiday celebrating the harvest of crops, the group also constructed a Sukkah, a small hut-like structure. Perched on the orange walkway between McEwen and List, it was used for services and as a reminder of the nomadic past when Jews ived in the desert.
This year's college calendar did not include Passover in the Spring Break, as it had been in the past. For many members of the Jewish Stud1mts Group, the celebration of the Seder service on campus was the first time they had done so outside of their families. Commented Lehman; of the service, "The Seder �as
our major project this year and came off the best of any activity I've seen that was totally student run." The supper, where ceremonial dishes of food associated with the exodus and experience of Jews in Egypt are eaten, was particularly successful thanks to the advice and help of Irv · Epstein of the Utica Jewish Community Center, remarked Lehman. Hosts Speakers In addition to religious services, the Jewish Students Group has played host to

On the other hand, there is a Kirkland junior who says the first time she went to
a fraternity party she got "weird glances" from some "drunk and rowdy frat men."
Many students adrTJit that the stereotypes break down as personal contact with those from the other school develops.
Another Kirkland student who was quoted in last year's Particulars catalogue had this to say: "Initially, my attitude was totally anti-fraternity and anti-Hamilton, but much to my surprise I found I enjoyed many of the Fiamilton men I met and many of the fraternity social activities. By· meeting many Hamiltonians, I think I have a good idea of what to expect for the outside world."
And a Hamilton sophomore Claims that his Kirkland friends were dead-set against fraternity parties· until earlier this year, when he invited them to his house, and they "found they reali"y liked it."
Fundamental Di fference
One factor in the problem is that the "freaky" Kirkland student and ·the Hamilton "grind" do exist on campus, though their presence may be far less
a number of speakers this year, including a lecturer from Tel Aviv and Professor Abraham Karp of the University of Rochester, who spoke on the role of Jewish culture in a pluralist society.
Comments Sophomore Scott Klein, also an active participant of the group, "One of· the important functions of the group is to provide an educational experience for Jews and for the College communi�y as a whole."
While such lectures have been held on
widespread than the stereotypes suggest. By focusing in on the exception and universalizing it into a "typical" Hamilton or Kirkland student, the stereotypers ignore a diversity which is, in reality,
an informal basis in the past, Klein suggested a weekly or monthly series of discussions to be held with Sabbath services. "I have encouraged friends to attend these activities to expose themselves to a new culture."
CORRECTION: An article on the Bristol games room in last week's Spectator mistakenly attributed quotes by William Kahl to another individual.
there.
It is true, however, that the stereotypes are hardly as unequivocal as in the "Kirkie" and "Kirkette" era of a few years ago.
Today they seem mostly a conversationsal device-used in jest or to mock the sometimes-viscious stereotyping of the past-while the speaker generally realizes that the attitude he's posturing is really unfair to the varied individuals at the other school.
However, beneath that consideration may be another, mostly sub-conscious assumption that there really is an intrinsic difference between students at Hamilton and Kirkland,and_ this fundamental assumption may well be the root of the stereotypes still voiced today.
"Each place has its own mystique," says a Hamilton junior. "The places foster that."
More Diversity
On the other hand, there are people like Muilenberg and Bingham who feel that although social generalizations may be to some degree part of human mature, the situation on the HIll has been alleviate·d to a great extent by a greater diversity of students at both schools.
Also, each indicated that as Kirkland matures, and as Hamilton· adapts to the presence of a women's college, the stereotypes tend to fade.

A Student Senate is the only vehicle of communication between the student bodyand the adminstration. In order for such a body to be effective it-must be able to present a unifiedfront. TC> achieve this cohesion, cooperation and pers1stance are vitally necess�ry. Cooperation among the members of the ·Senate and persistance in pursuing their goals is the only way the students can have a voice.The kin'd of Senators needed must be aware of th� concerns of the students and able to convey these concerns to faculty, administration, and trustees.Through my involvement as Cha irma n of the Hamilton/Kirkland Film Society I have had just this kind of experience. My only promise is, that I willdo my best.

"Well, why not? I mean, what the heck."-'Z.H.'This was the best I could do in· the way of an original platform; anyway, it says what any legitimate appeal for votes would. The rest has to be taken on faith.
JEAN LACOMBE '77
Last year having held the offices of Treasurer-Secretary of the International Students Association and of President of the E:rench Club I have had close con�actwith the Student Senate. I am running because it is an organization I would like to be a member of, and because from my past experience outside of the Senate I can look from a different and a new angle at the issues the Senate will face nextyear.
If I amelected I will bring with me the prospectives of interest groups oncampus.
LESSTEIGER'77
Too often issues affecting the entire student body are decided solely upon the individual preferences of our Senate "representatives." ·. For· :three years it has been frustratii!g tobe subjected to such close-minded leadership in the Senate Senate. I do not want to put up with a fourth year ofthis!
If elected to the Student Senate I will make a sincere effort to integrate the varying student opinions with my own ideas.In this manner I feel I will be better qualified to make decisions which will be in the best interests o��-

BOB WHEELER '77
Why I should be elected to the Senate in a: hundred word; or less by Boh Wheeler. I ,vrote a 300 word platform and :was told- to edit it. Just like the real world, these student electionsseem to be based on personalities, not issues. Briefly then... the students have become _so apathetic that .the administration seems to feel no need for dialogue with them any longer. A petition (about another
psychiatrist) was ignored and decisions on advisor housing did not seem to take student opinion
into account
If you have no·desrre to affect college policies, don't vote for me. Because if I am e_lected, I intend to actively solicit y.our opinions as well as ask for your support on the issues that come up.
STEVEN MINTZ '77
Like molasse�, the ,Student Senate has sometimes been slow to move.The problem of dogson campus isa fiveyear oldissue; the creation of a.Senate committee to aid in tenure decisions dates back to a suggestion by the Board of Trusteesin 1968.
:B�sides s -upporti�g increased student input in administrative decisions and greater participatio� in student run org1anizations, I think that the Senate should expand its legislative scope; one area into which the Senate can mqveis the implementation-of the Ad ler co nf ere nce recco�endations. We need swift and positive action-cJ?.OW.
WARREN E. HART '77
There are two main functions of the Student Senat�� One is to allocate student resources to individuals and �rganization� on campus. The other, which is becoming more significant, is to promote communication between students and the administration.
Except for this year,.- when I was on the Semester in Washington, I have been active in Student Government, on the f'res.hman Council _and as a Senator sopho:mo:re year. I have a si:rong desire to continue working with the Senate, particularly on channelling student opinions to the administration 'I would appreciate your voting forWarren HartonMonday

A student senator can be one of two things,. He can be active, con cerned, outspoken, responsible, etc. aridconsequently · a valuable input concerning the way fhings are done here at the Hill. Or, he canbe unenthusiastic, inarticulate, unresponsive and represented byli(tle more than his yes/no votes. If elected to the Student Senate I make only one promise: I'll do my best to work at being the first kind of Senator andnotthelatter version
JONATHAN L. STERN '79
Re-election to the Student Senate would provideme with the opportunity to continue serving t.he Hamilton community. Throughout this past year·my efforts. as .t Senator and as a member of both the Senate Committee on the Academi� Calendar and the Budget and Finance Committee have been directed'towards achievinggreater student input into faculty and administration decisions. No student organization wields any ultimate - authority in the determination of college policy.
The key to efficient and effective
student government lies in the students' ability to offer constructive recommendations and criticisms (the fo�mati�n of the Student Tenure Committee typifies this type ..of active participation).If re-e1ected, I will strive to provide this type of strong direction in all areas of studentconcern.
RICKKOYAR '79
As a new freshman in October, I felt that I did notknowenough about the workings of the school to run for ttie Senate.I 'feel that not only a general knowl-edge of the school is important for a Senate representative; but also a knowledge of the intracacies of therelationshipsbetweenstudents and administrators I now feel that I can run for the Senate asa qualifieq candidate. If elected, I elected I will seek to increase the amount ofstudent input.thatgoes into administrative decisions. belie�e that if the college is to continue to make good decisions with regard to the studentbody, as ·they have on occaision in the past, then student input is th� essential ingrediant.

Pub 1nspires love and hate
By JOHN M. McNEEL
There is an essence pecul.i-ar to the Pub, distinct from- tthat of any other "hang-out on the Hill.
Some cal1 the essence "an atmosphere of escape from class and academic pressures."
Some call it a "stench."
On anv given weeknight, between 11:30 p.m. and 1 :30 a.m., somewhere around 150 to 200 Hamilton and Kirkland students can be found :at the Pub, enduring; or enjoying its essence, as the case may be.
They come to roc1alize, to drink,to relax. Many oonfess they 1eave .disgusted by the o�ercrowsng, the excessive beer-drinkirng and "genera! lousiness."
Many more will be :there again the next night, and 1!he Tilight aft.er that.
Shortly before 11.p.m. on a recent , Monday, a scatteig of people sit on wooden benohes at the scarred w.ooden tables, d1aWng and drinking. The tables and floorsare,,for memostpart,devoidof the cups and po'tato chip wrappers which willg;JOn litter their :surf-aces. The noise levelisfow. Itisearlyyet.

·�NegativeCharm"
The attraction of the Pub ('"Pube" in the vemaculad is !hard to place, and most of the stud1e.rnts that go-even the regulars-find it hard to explain their attendance.
G._ompl.aints about the size a_nd decor of the facility are oftern voiced.
�•tt's a goddamn cellar,71 said one Hamilton senio '-'The sewers back up, it smens Jike a cesspooL."
'We need a mudh larger µ1ace;" said a Kirkland junior. �,this just gets too crowded. I get daustrophobia"
Becuase of the complairnts andcalls for a larger, nicer facilaty, the .: Auxiliary Services Committee is currentJy- soJ,iciting suggestions for movingthe pub.
Desp'i,� unhappiness with the Pub's ambience,· 'the students return in drov?s each '1ight to experience what one Kirkland regular described as the Pub's "negativ� �harm."
Added a Hamilton senior, "It's a hole in the ground, sure. But what the hell. If you want to be picky, go down to the inn."
Lackof Outlets
Most opinion seems to indicate that people go to the Pub because there is no alternative. Bristol and the Coffee House-apart from not being centrally located__,offer atmospheres which may be antitheses to the Pub in their "sterility." Also, the Pub has beer.
As one Hamilton freshman put it, "When you finish studying you want to relax and see friends. The Pub's where
everyone goes and it's not really that bad if you ignore the surroundings,"
According to the bartenders, about 75 per cent of those that come to thePub are regulars, Tuesday, Wedn�sday and Thursday are the busiest nights, they noted.
With some it's a love-hate relationship. "It's sort of like when there's a bad song on the radio and you say 'I hate this song' but you turn it up anywaybecause it has a catchybeat.,.,
Between 11 p.m.-and 11:30 p.m. t:he crowd buryeons, The tables fill and t:he floor space becomes increasingly packed. Those entering are met by a cacophony and faint stale smells of beer. The smoke from innumerable· cigarettes permeates theair.
A tableof Kirkland studentsshare two bags of potato chips and talk animatedly about the housing lottery. The haircut of one girl is admired. J7hink I'll meet someone now?n she asks, blinking her eyes.
Another KirklarKi student, bundled .against the chillspring air, enters t:he Pub �aHwniltvn studentata tablebythedoor calls, J'Hey, comesit with usand we'llbuy youabeer.
Male students at a table near t:he wall discuss poetry intently., a volume of TheodoreRaethkeopenbeforethem.
Too Near the Madding Crowd
The sport of the Pub is people-watching and many admit they participate.
"It's like people sitting out on apartmer-it steps in th.e city, watching life go by," said a Kirkland freshman ,.,It's an awful lot of fun coming and watching p.eople-get totally messed up," said a Hamilton student.
With many others, the people-watching .js vyith the intent to pick-up.
,JSometimes it1s just painfully obvious that a groups of guys will be sizing up a
girl across the room," claimed a Kirkland sophomore.
"It admit it-I come to look for women with loose moral fibers," said a Hamilton freshmen, aiding "unfortunately, I have yet to meet any."
In fact, many of the complaints about the Pub involve its tendency to hamper or ,prevent healthy socializirYJ.
The noise is one factor "You have to shout and listen too intensely," said one Hamilton regular.
TheJungle
But also, many indicated that social relations degenerate to the "animal" level, making the Pub less of a meeting place than a meating place.
• "There are a lot of what you might call attempts at seduction,"i'noted a Kirkland sophomore.
A Kirkland freshmen complained that she was "goosed" while walking through a Pub crowd. No one would own up to the illdeed.
Others interviewed-including those that rarelygo to thePub- said they found itboth difficult to meet people and to talk to people justmet.
"This is a fine place for seeing people that are already your friends," said a Kirkland senior. "But it's lousy for meeting anyone new."
Midnightpassesunnoticed. Quartersare slipped into the jukebox, beer is slashed on clothing tables, floor. In one corner, twojointscirculatearound a table.
A Hamilton senior whosays he spends on t:he average two and a·half hours a night in the Pub, reads 'The Sot Weed Factor· amidst the clamor. "I need my noisetostudy,"hesays.
Occasionally, the lightsare flicked out untilannoyedvoices in t:hedarknessbring thembackon.
A person who came into stay "only a minute" well over an hour ago finally packs it up to go, with several hours of
Soon aft�r I got to the Pub, the happy thro�g came to life.. Like a shapeleSf? marine organism, it p�lsa-ted, subsided, put out pseudopods, engulfed, and incorporated into itself all who pressed up against it • • •

workaheadofhim. The foosball table, standing in asmall pool of water, is called again and again into service. A particularly vicious flickof the wrist causes the small white ball to leave the table, bouncing ,across the floor untilit lodgesbehind agarbagebarrel.·
The High Life
According to the bartenders, about three to four half-kegs of beer, roughly 50 to 60 gallons, are consumed each night. Beer sales top soda sales by about a third, they said.
· Those unhappy with the Pub often cite the drunkenness of its patrons.
"To a lot of girls it turns them off to see blatant drunkenness," claimed a Kirkland sophomore. "Some of the guys get messy, out-of-hand. It's revolting to anyone."
The "blatant drunkenness" has, on several occasions in the past, led to out and out boisterousnesswhich in turn hasled to "demo" and "obstreperous" behavior.
On Easter Sunday, a party whichbegan with a porno film in the Pub ended with a minor melee on the quad which brought police officers to the Hill.
Several weeks before, the Pub was forced to close when a bench found its way into the cash register.
Defenders of the Pub claim this type of rowdiness is rare, alleging that most come without intending to get "totally messed up."
At 1:30 a.m., the bartenders give the · last call, roll down the door to close the bar and beginremoving the discardedcups andbottlesfrom the tables. � '
The crowd lingers. In one corner, a Hamilton student wearing a "CAT" hat and holding two Utica Clubs looks reluctant to leave. A pair gets in a last game of foosba/1. It will be2 a.m. before the bartenders flick the lights afinal time and force everyonetodepart
A Hamilton senior shuffling across the floor, spilling some of his beer, says: "I come here to relax. Some times I relaxso much Idon'tget up for days."

Totheoutsider,theritualmightseem a self-indulgence of bizarre proportions: a weekend' designed to allow otherwise rational and studious college studentsto forget allpurposeinlifeexceptlisteningto loudmusic andconsumingvastquantities of alcohol.
OntheHill,however,Houseparties are a time-worn tradition, and, three times a year, a wayoflife.
Althoughmanystudentsinterviewedthis week said they found the energy and abandonofthepartyweekendsuch aslast week'sareleasefrom academic andsocial pressures, others, asmight be expected,
claimed that Houseparties- weren't-thei� idea offun.
Additiona lly, several students complained that last-weekend's parties lacked the "excitement and activity" of previous Housep a rties

Most seemed to agree; though, that Houseparti'esserve a usefulsocialfunction.
"It's one of few opportunities for socializingontheHill,"saidDr.DonaldL Muilenberg, clinical psychologistforboth schools. ;,Students are looking for alternatives andHousepartiesoffersoneto somepeople."

"Many times," he added, "people consider that you hove to drink at frat parties to havea good time.It'stoo bad people go to the partieswiththeideaof justdrinkingoilnight."

'Only through the divine can one hurry without haste and reach I the goal...'
Hill students practice "metaph)'sical boxing"
Some 1000 years ago Chong Son-feng looked out his window and watched a snake managing to elude a stomping crone. The ancient disciple of the Chinese philosopher Too noted the snake's strength incombat byyielding, not fighting.
A philosophy, martial art, and set of 1 exercises called Fai Chi Ch'uon hos sprouted fromChang's ancient obseryation, and a group of Hamilton and Kirkland students are now learning this '"a'rt of fl?etaphysical boxing.
The Womb Room in List Arts Center was silent. A young soft-spoken, long-haired man dressed in a white jumpsuit led seven students through a series of bodily moUons designed .to se1 the mind atrestandbestow goodhealth.
Theymoved slowly andsteadily,pivoting back on one foot and then forward,turning 90 degrees and then back, extending their arms, thenwithdrawingthem.
Their gaze was constant and straight ahead. There were no cues for beginning and ending. Though the beginners were a bit wobbly and were occasionally put in various positions by the leader, the newcomers to T'oi Chi Ch'uan seemed to havegraspedthebasics.
Ke Syin Yu,who travelled to Clinton from New York City to instruct students in T;ai Ch,, said the Chinese term can be translated tomeanthe "extreme ultimate", "extreme polarity," "Supreme ultimate boxing," or "metaphysical boxing."
Hurry W ithoutHaste
T'oi Chi is a martial art as well as a form of exercise. However, it is unlike Karateor Judo. Slow and deliberate in motion, it is inspired by an ancient Chinese ahorism, - "Only through the divine con one hurry without haste and reach the goal without
walking.''
For exercise or defense, the motions of T'oi Chimakethe practitioner more pliable and relaxed, Ke Syin Yusaid.Ke Syin Yu is a Chinese name which means "completely newuniverse."KeSyinYuisnotoriental.
"As slow as T'ai Chi looksrompared. to any other martial art, it is that much faster tothesamedegree,"hesaid.
The mdtions are only the means for learning the principle of "chi"--which means the essence of life. The philosophy and exercises reveal that which separates the living from the corp,sical.
DifferentMovement
Diane Kletz, who is learning T'oi Chi Ch'uan said "at its best, I find it very relaxing." Kletz o,lso said she i� interested in learning about �ifferent .forms of movement
Tricia Cunneen, sophomore, who invited Ke Syin Yu to the campuses, said she �as practicing Kung Fu not too long ago and said she needed a "something to calm me down."
Cunneen said she does T'.ai Chi as an exercise but is also interested in its powers OS a martial art. She said a winter study maybeofferedinit nextJanuary.
Practicing T'oi ChiCh'uanisaquestionof bodily balance, · or control, and of continuity. Particularly important is breath control, the breath being what distinguishes those alive from those dead andisatangibleindicatorof"chi."
T'aiChiis acomplex and richphilosophy and way of life, yet compatible with a Western religious affiliation. Several thousand Americans now practice the dance, the ploy--but never the fighting--of T'oi Chi Ch'uan, for it is based on strength through peaceof mind.

Aurora Borealis: Heavenly Happenings
By ALLAN HAMILTON
This article is written only for those persons who, duringtheir stumblings in the weehours ofthemorning, can safely lift their eyes to the heavens above or who find themselves inexplicable supine and still capable of someeyemovement.
In the last month,sightings of the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lightsas they are oftencalled,havebeenmade throughout central New York State. Ovrr the last few nights, manystudents havegotten outto catchaglimpse at these heavenly happenings.Theshimmeringsnot only represent a pleasing natural light show for those willing to stay up till midnight or 2 a.m. to see the aurora but are one of the great puzzles · of the complex interrelationshipbetween Earth and its sun.
TheAurora
The auroral displays, as seen from central NewYork, usually begin with a faint glow, very similar to the luminosity of early dawn; the glow islightertowards th horizon and fades as one looks closer to the vertical. The pattern of luminosity is highly�variable, with morethan twelve distinct types of display being listed. In general, the varieties of display can be broken down into five broad classes:
1) "glows" ordiffuse, luminois surfaces
2)arcs andbands of homogeneous light
3) ·ray forms (rays, rayed arcs, rayed bands, drapery form andthe coronal rayed pattern)
4) pulsatory arcs and pulsating surfaces
5) "flames": flashes of light running from top to bottom insome faslµon
Aurorae t1sually have a lower edge that approximately 100 km high and a vertical exten between 20 and 100 km, although some aurorae have been measured as high as lbOO km. The aurorae ar usually yellowish-green from the emission of atomi oxygen at 5577 Angstroms. Exceptionally high aurorae are red fromoxygen lines at63000Angstroms and636 Angstroms. High aurorae viewed near twilight ca occasionally appear violet from fluorescence in th positively charged nitrogen molecule bands. Verybrigh displays sometimes reach as low as 65 km and show lower red borders from positively ionized molecula nitrogen and oxygen emissions. Add to this the atmospheric ionization that occurs during auroral displays and produces anomalous reflections and you canproduce quite a livelywork ofart.
Sightings
The aurorae are visible almost every night in the regions above a curve passing through SouthernHudson Bay, Northern Alaska, Siberia, and Scotland. In the r_egions between this first curve and an approximate latitude through Montreal, the average is between twen!Y-five and fifty sightings per year. Below this latitude, the average sightings drops off until at the latitude of Florida, the average is one or two times per year. Similar frequency distributions exist for the Aurora Australis in the southern latitudes. Recent statistics indicate that these frequency figures are
increasing in our area. Inside what ha previousy been the zone of maximal frequency, the average number of sightings isdecreasingto a valuethatpreviouslyrecorded in regions of lower latitudes. The lines of equal frequency have shifted;theyarestillroughly circularbut with the center located; near Etah, Greenland. This center also coincides with theplanet'sgeomagnetic axis, that is, on theaxis ofuniformmagnetization ofEarthat a point out in space where the topographic irregularities inthemagnetic field are"smoothed out."
HistoryofDiscovery
The puzzle of the aurora:l lights was first attacked by L. Vegard in1912 when heidentifiedtheblueand violet . radiations ofmolecularnitrogeninthe auroral spectrum.
In 1925, JohnCunningham and his co-workers found the green lines due to oxygen as well as those due to oxygen and nitrogen in both the atomic and ionized states. In 1950, Carl Gartlein and A.B. Meinel showed that hydrogen was also present in variable amounts; apprarently the hydrogen was arriving from the sun and beingdirecteddownwards towards the Earth.·
Careful analysis of historical records of auroral displays by H. Fritz in the late nineteenth century revealed that there were periods of high frequency and low frequency and that the number of aurorae seen increased as the number of sunspotsincreased. Fritzalso found seeming eleven year cycles in the records as well astrendsindicating. otherperiodicities.
fiuctuatmns of several percent in intensity and several degrees in direction (this has been the cause of more than one polar traveller's mishaps). In addition, the ionosphere gets shaken up by these electromagnetic contortions and radio wavesbouncedoff thisionic layer are often disruptedduringauroral appearances.
TwoTheories
There are two theories about theaurorae,oneslightly stronger now than the other. The weaker theory is the· light the·ory. This theory maintains that the aUTorae are caused by fast photons thrown out by the sun during a flare and then, under the influence of the earth's field, flying into the atmosphere and creating ionic havoc. There are a few questions, however. For example, since light could come from any flare locatedanywhereon the sun's,surface, why do only those flares near the center of the solar disc seem to produce most aurorae? The most important questionisthatthetimelagbetween thesolar disturbance and the auroral appearance indicates that a vehicle much slower than light is involved. The average twenty hour delay calls for a mechanism traveling atan approximateaverage velocity of1000 kmper second.
The particle theory is not without its limp too. Hydrogen velocities from the sun arethoughttoaverage about 500 km per second. In a sense, it is less of a problem to stretch from 500 km per second to 100 km per second than it is to accomodate light traveling at 300;000 km per second into the time lag problem.
Astrophysicist D.F. Martyn proposes that since the

Speakers
It is ironic that Hamiiton and Kirkland followed opposite procedures for selecting a graduation speakerandended up withthe same result: n-o outside- speaker. President Carovano will address Hamilton'sgraduates, and Kirklandwill have President Babbitt speak orwill have no speaker at all.
Hamilton's decision was essentially a unilateral one� made by a trustee committee; now the Hamilton student body callsfor more student input. Kirkland conscientiously obeyed it( studen-t,'s demands; now Kirkland finds their procedure too democratic to be workable. Neitherschool islearning frQmtheother'sfailure..
Perhaps the;f�ilt;tr� is·not·�imply in the,Pr-Ocedure, bu:t" in the choices. The publie figures·that Kirkland's seniors chosewerenot reasonable choices. Kirkland ought not to have wasted its time contacting such candida.tes. Hamilton-!s• s1ngle -sefection makes ' -' .. :;, evident that the trustess did not consider an'outside graduation speaker a priority, and were not interested in investing"the time·to contactothers.. , ·· .
Whatever procedures the colleges use to select a speaker rt 1s most important that the choices he feasible, and the candidates be contacted early. Perhaps the best procedure for bot� sch6oJswcn'Jld be one which is a compromise bet��en'those procedures �urreritly 'usedat each��chooi. The Presid�nt �f soard · ot'° Trusf� ,_ \� consultation with a\tudent comm.itte shol,Jld dra�:up a iist of . ·:\ . . :-' � candidates they consider _reasonable, These nt:ed not be be people well known in thepublic sphere , but peopl� i!TIPOrtantineducation --- :yvho-would-consider it anhonor tospeak at agraduatioQ,-anctwhose experience in education would make:their words meaningful. This list should be submitted to the entire student boay for a·vote to decidepriorities.
By following a procedure such'as this, r�stminute scramblesfor speakers can be avoided and the graduates wiiI haveabetterchance to get the·speaker of their choice.
A Rare P.eirle
It is a fact in the academic world of Hamilton and Kirklandthat professors give and give, and get Iittle in return: not fame, not fortune, rarely appreciation.
_ One professor deserving of fame, fortune, appreciationandmuch more is Philip Pearle, associate professor ofphysics. Itis fittingthat heshouldbethefirstrecipient of theendowedKenan chair.
Pearle is a brilliant theoretical physicist; his contributions in his field are numerous. He is an outstanding and dedicated teacher-· witness the enrollments in his classes, and he is a figure well liked and much respected by students, faculty, and administration alike. He is a personality, as well as an educator thiscampus coutdnot do without.
The Kenan chair is a only a gesture, a hint of the recognition Pearledeserves.

Judgement By Peers
ByFred-Ackerson
Everybody thinks thattheJudiciaryBoard stinks. Or soitseems.

SeltzerRebutsShulansky
TotheEditor:
Mr. Shulansky's letter in the May 7 issue reflects a total ignorance over the method through which President Carovano was selected as the featured speaker at this year's commencement and, further, constitutes on unfounded attack upon my efforts onbehalfof theseniorclass.
In mid-fall, 1975, the Trustee-F ac uIty-Studen t Committee on Honorary Degrees scheduled its first meeting of the current school year, presumably to select those individuals who were to be extended invitations to receive honorary degrees Traditionally, the commencement speaker has been amongthat small group of degree recipients. Over the years, the College has compiled a sizable list of potential candidates (now to_talling approximately 75); the nameshave been submitted by students, faculty, administration, trustees, alumni, and friends of theCollege. That Iist normally forms the pool from which the candidates are drawn; however, the Committee is technically open to new suggestions.
Priortothat meeting,I wasasked by (then Student Senate President) Philip Montalvo to serve on the Committee because I bad had previous experience with that body. lri preparation for the meeting, I approached various membersof theseniorclass,asking them for any suggestions they had for a commencement speaker. Further, I solicited theirreactionsto some public figures I had considered (e.g., Harry Reasoner, Eric Sevareid, Dick Cavett, David Frost-just to , name a few). For a variety of reasons, the two individuals who met with the most favorable comments were-actor, comedian, producer, mus1c1an, political writer-Woody Allen (whom I had considered) and comedian, political activist Dick Gregory (whom Henry Bedford '76 had suggested).
At the folI meeting, however, I learned that the Committee, in May 1975, had decided upon a theme for this June's commencement· ("Recognition of Contributors to America's Heritage") and had even selected a group of degree recipients.. Further. learned that a consensus had been reached on a commencement speaker, and a replacement as well. The consensus was that the honor should be given to the College president in the event the initial nominee declined. Not being a member of the Committee when the decisions were initially made,I was unable to register acomplaint. However, I seized upon the first opportunity (at the fall meeting) to· suggest that we need not be locked into the decisions of the previous year, to submit the twoadditionsto the established list of speakers, and to recommend tho we take a good look at the other names on the Iist as welI. (The fact that I recommended consideration of the entire list of nominees, not merely my two contributions, merits particular emphasis.) These suggestions were scoffed at by the "ranking" members of the Committee. I then insisted that the current nominees would not be as popular with the senior class as
some other individuals on the list-Messrs. Allen and Gregory aside. !further argued that the Committee should not forget for whom the commencement is intended. One trustee replied, "Whereas we want speakers who would appeal to the senior class, this is not a popularity contest. We [the trustees] can decide who would be in their best interest." The meeting was adjournedshortly thereafter, and invitations were extended to the respective nominees, including the intended commencement speaker.
At the December meeting, the Committee learned of the replies; tbe intended speaker was among those declining. At that point, I reiterated my original belief that the Committee look to the list of names for a commencement speaker The Chairman informed me that the consensus of the Committee was to stick with the original plan and give the honor to the President. If the silence of the other trustees and student members represented a consensus, then he was entirely correct, and I wasclearly inaminority.
Personally, I share Mr. Shulansky's disapp�intment over the outcome of the selection process. However, his allegation that I, as senior class representative,waseither"silent," "out of communication" with the other members of the class, or lacking in "substantive input" is patently untrue. For the sake of enhancing student input in future years, I wish that Mr. Shulansky would get his factsstraight.

On May 1st at about 12:30 p.m., after my fraternity's (Chi Psi) Gin and Juice party, I .witnessed a Hamilton student, Steve Gorman, throw rocks through four windows in the room where the party was held. Respect for personal property is something expected of Hamilton students. Steve Gorman infringed upon the right of every member of Chi Psi to maintaintheir house.
The fraternity showed considerably more consideration for Steve Gorman than he showed for Chi Psi. Instead of pressing charges with the Judiciary Borad, the fraternity voted to let him pay for the damages; a small price to pay for a second-semester senior on probation whose graduation could be placed in jeopardy. Steve Gorman paid for the windows, but without remorse for his acts claiming he did notregret breaking them.
Steve German's letter has educated me. Students must take action against "demo." If students feel that their safety is placed in danger by testifying before the Judiciary Board, then at least a fraternity, which need not respond to such pressures, should take action.
I hope Steve Gorman and other "demo-ers" will in the future show more respect for others than they have in · the past.

Letters Continued RighttoJudge
Tothe Editor:
As Chairman of the Judiciary Boord for the last two years, I have tried to stay clear of running bottles that are conducted in the pages of The Spectator. I feel that the • Board speaks most effective through decisions reached during official Judiciary Board hearings.
Unfortunately, William P. Hutchinson's letter to the editors (May 7, 1976) forces me temporarily to abandon this approach
If I understand Mr. Hutchinson correctly, he raises several questions, the most serious of which is, How can one justify the very existence of a Judiciary Board whichconsistsof students whopass judgements on fellow students? I do not believe that Mr. Hutchinson would disagree that certain actions taken by an individual can be so repugnant to d community that some mechanism is needed to protect the community and punish, that individual. Once this is granted, the question becomes, What wilI this mechanism be? At Hamilton, it is the Judiciary Board. Mr. Hutchinson claims that (one problem with this is that ) "judgement is passed by only a select few." He is absolutely right; the Board consists of eleven students elected by the student body. Perhaps he would prefer to see every infraction voted on byall 970students.
The alternatives to students passing judgement are either to have the faculty and administration make all decisions or always to involve outside agencies--the police and the Utica criminal courts. Both of these suggestions are ridiculous but the question still remains, What right do students have to poss judgement on fellow students? It is the right that every community has · to preserve the rights of the majority against the abuses of a few. In the pastthe Judiciary Board may have acted too strenuously or too leniently. This is not the point. I am merely trying to establish the Board's right to judge in the first place.
One other problem with Mr. Hutchinson's letter deserves attention. He repeatedly uses inflammatory language and rhetorical deviceswithout regardto factual information: Since _when has Hamilton "decided that a military trial is more fair to the individual?" More to the point, what is a "military trial?" What specific Judiciary Board actions prompted Mr. Hutchinson's contention that a student is not deemed innocent until proven guilty?
I firmly believe in the desirability of a student-run Judiciary Board to adjudicate non-academic infractions to college rules. The present system may not be perfect, but to destroy it, as Mr. Hutchinson suggests, would eliminate all semblance of justice and fairness that now existson the Hill.

Rotten Apples Minor Irritations
ByMargare�Doris
May seems to be the month of the Minor Irritation Minor Irritations are of course, the things that are a little bit wrong that nobody has the time or energy to right. They continue to exist, elevating blood pressures, shortening tempers, and casting a poll overotherwise perfectlylivabledays.
Minor Irritations infest almost every aspect of life on thishill. At the bookstore, an alleged coordinate institution, new blue and white bags proclaim ittheHamiltonandKirklandCollegeStore. Yet my checks made out to the same are refused: They must, I am instructed, be made out to the Hamilton College Store. Logic and reason fails to persuade the ladies standing staunch behind the register. Checks must be made out to the Hamilton College Store because that's the way we do things here at the Hamilton and KirklandCollegeStore.
Upstairs in the snack bar, similar insanity prevails. One of the mainstays of my existence, fried egg sandwiches, go for 40 cents apiece. However, toast goes for 15 cents and a fried egg for 20 cents. I can save myself a precious nickle by ordering untoasted toast (translates: bread) and a plain fried egg. After reading this, I'm sure Service Systems will remedy the situation by raising the price of toast to 17¼ cents, and eggs to 22¼ cents. Of course this is better than Holland Farms, where a fried egg sandwich is80cents-nearly doublethe costofa hamburger. I'msurethere'slogicbehind alIof this, but-tot-el� y9uthetruth, Idon'twant tofindoutwhatitis.
Minor Irritations plague us in a hundred little ways The impossibility of trying to buy astampat Kirkland (Naturallythemail centerdoesn't sell stamps, and I hearthey'rehandingout goldstars to anyone who's managed to find the Hub open). The Lobbysignin McEwen, which has led countless visitorsastray in afruitlesssearch for "Information." The hassle of trying to get a number from campus information, and on Saturday nights,of getting an outside line. The speed--3 to 6 months--withwhichPhysical Plant responds to requests to fix leaky faucets and broken toilets. The rock-firm certaintythat none of this willeverchange.
This time of year, even the weather falls prey to the whims of Minor Irritations. If the day starts out cold, I will have to shed my parka and contemplate a complete change of attire by noon. If warm weather is predicted, the snow flakes will soak through my cotton t-shirt in no time. Should seasonal warmth persist for any length of time, I might be per;;uaded to discard my shoes_. But the busy work of our wonderfulcampusanimals will insure my speedy returnto hipboots
Perhaps it has something to do with thepossible return of spring, but Minor Irritations inMayseem to combinealltheworst aspectsof the Peter Principle, Catch-22,' and Murphy's Law. What formerly seemed like isolated incidents now take on the semblance of a giantconspiracy. Certainly itcan't all bedue to randomchance But I am losing my perspective. Certainly most, if notall, ofthese things can be corrected. The bookstore and Ann Martin can be reasoned with, the mail center pleaded with and the Physical Plant cajoled. The weather can be endured and the dogs shot. In my more constructive moments I have consideredformingacommittee to find and correct Minor Irritations. Certainly a few dedicated people could make short work ofmostofthem. But thenthereisthe possibility that--God forbid--attending committee meetings would oniyprove anotherMinor Irritation
