Listen. You can almost hear the wheels turning 

around this campus. The improvements we've all 

been waiting for are on their way, or already 

taken care of. At last the physical appearance of 

our campus is starting to show a little common 

sense as a pedestrian area. Sidewalks are 

cropping up where mudslides once defined more 

natural walkways, sections of roads have been 

given over to grass lawns, and on Pine Hill one 

can see the beginnings of stairways to the higher 

dorms. Parking lots have been enlarged and/or 

paved, new benches, picnic tables, and grills 

have been added, and as a most pleasing touch, 

there's a basketball court on Saxon Drive. 

For those of us here this past summer, many 

changes come to us as no great surprise. In fact, 

Alfred Loves You Anyway 

Last Saturday's football game was a 

tremendous disappointment to all of us, but I'm 

sure that no one felt the defeat more than the 

Saxon team themselves. They did such a fine job, 

that in spite of how they felt about the loss, they 

put such newspapers as the New York Times, 

which wouldn't even project the number of points 

they would lose by, to shame. Our defensive team 

deserves special recognition for their tremendously 

effective stifling of the Bridgeport attack. 

We may have lost the game last week and we 

all may be really downed over the loss, but our 

football team showed beyond a shadow of a doubt 

that it could hold up beyond any sports writer's 

expectations against a team with the reputation 

of Bridgeport's. Regardless of the outcome, last 

Saturday's game is only a credit to the Saxon 

Warriors' potential as a football team. 

I'm sure that I can truly say, on the behalf of 

the entire Alfred community, that we all love you, 

coaches and team, for the spectacular exhibition 

you put on last Saturday, and look forward to 

another season of consistently game winning 

calibre.

Action . . . 

Historic Building Possible? 

Q: Does the fact that the Steinheim is listed in the 

National Register as a national historic building 

make it impossible to covert the Steinheim to 

offices as per the Campus Plan requirements? 

A: No. According to Bob Heywood, Vice 

President for Business and Finance, inclusion in 

the National Register does not effect the 

University's plans to convert the Steinheim, once 

a museum, to offices for University Relations. 

Plans for rennovation of the building call for work 

to begin in the late seventies.

the ripping up of roads caused some 

inconveniences with the resulting mud and muck 

we tramped through. Power lines were set 

underground, creating a few blackouts during 

Intersession. The noise level of contruction woke 

us up bright and early most of the time. 

Nevertheless, the wheels were turning and we 

were for the most part taken aback by it. 

There is an age-old phrase that crops up now 

and then: "Nothing happens overnight; change 

takes time." There is a great deal of surprise in 

Alfred at just how little time all this has taken, 

when we had been so used to practicing the art of 

patience. It's enough to restore our faith in 

graduating after the fact rather than before that 

which we have fought for is actually done. We're 

finding it pleasantly difficult to get used to all this, 

(so pardon our stubborness in using the old 

Campus Center sidewalk). 

One huge amount of thanks is due to the forces 

behind all this campus common sense and 

beautification. Only we can keep the wheels 

turning at Alfred by using the new facilities, 

rediscovering the joy of sidewalks, and taking 

care of our "new" campus, (unlike a certain 

individual who chose to carve his name into one 

of the new tables in the Campus Center 

Cafeteria.). 

The Great Campus Planner In The Sky is getting 

down to some serious business. We can start 

believing in Him now, and all we have to do to 

keep the wheels turning is show a little 

appreciation and responsibility.

Inexcusable Mistake Occurs 

I arrived at Harder Hall a little before 8:00PM 

the night of the Plimpton talk. The unfinished 

auditorium was already filling up. The first thing 

I noticed, though, was that the center area was 

cordoned off. It did not take long to find out the 

the area was reserved for the prestigious 

trustees, alumni, and parents attending a special 

orientation session here. I didn't resent the seats 

being reserved for them, considering that they, as 

a group, raise a staggering amount of money for 

the University each year. It's logical that they 

receive little treats in return. So much for them 

for the moment. Soon it became apparent that 

there was going to be an overflow crowd, which 

was entirely predictable considering that Harder 

Hall can accomodate 500 people at best. 

So, the auditorium rapidly began to bulge at the 

seams with people and those ominous empty 

reserved seats almost snickered at the poor 

unseated slobs. It became intolerably hot and 

certainly obvious that it would be difficult to sit 

through a speech under such conditions. The 

time to begin finally rolled around and still those 

reserved seats were unfilled. Five minutes 

passed, ten, fifteen, still no special guests. 

Twenty minutes after we were supposed to hear 

from Mr. Plimpton, President Miles trapsed in, 

signaling the arrival of the occupants of those 

empty seats. Soon after, Plimpton began. 

I hope that the inexcusable mistakes which 

occurred two Thursdays ago will not be repeated. 

I hope that it has been learned that Harder Hall is 

too small to accomodate the more crowd-pleasing 

programs on the C.P.C. series. I also hope that 

those in charge of the Truste-Alumni-Pa rent 

orientation feel guilty enough about the 

inexcusable delay that the group caused,to make 

sure that the Alfred Community not again be 

caused such inconsiderate inconvenience as was 

accorded at the Plimpton lecture.

Letters to the Editors 

Lecture Hall Jammed 

I 

Dear Editor: 

On September 13th Mr. George Plimpton was 

scheduled to appear in the Harder Hall 

auditorium. 

It was estimated that at least 525 people were 

jammed into an auditorium which lacked proper 

ventilation, and could properly seat only 425. As 

a result of this situation students were turned 

away at the door. 

Mr. Plimpton is a popular personality, why was 

the auditorium selected over the McLane Center 

which could comfortably accomodate the large 

audience. If ninety seats were reserved it would 

seem logical to use the larger facility. What was 

the purpose of the evening, to have Mr. Plimpton 

speak, or to put the new building (which is 

unfinished) on display?

Student Action Is Requested 

To the editor: 

At the last meeting of the Alfred Town Board I 

asked the Board to write a letter to the New York 

State Department of Transportation requesting 

the installation of sidewalks and/or bike paths on 

Rt. 244 between Alfred and Alfred Station. The 

Town Board refused for reasons that are unclear, 

to say the least. I have since talked to Mr. 

Rawady, the Town Supervisor, and his refusal is 

still adamant. 

The dangerous mix of automobile traffic, 

bicycle traffic, and pedestrians must be 

separated or someone is going to be killed. Since 

the Town Board is unwilling to speak for its 

citizens on this matter-citizens, take the matter 

into your own hands. Write or call:

An Open Letter To: 

New York State Department of Transportation 

Director, District 6 

Hornell, New York 14843 

Re: Route 21, Andover to Alfred Station 

Gentlemen: 

I write concerning that part of the referenced 

highway, which, coming from Andover, is just 

before one enters the curve and goes under the 

railroad overpass, going toward Alfred Station. 

At this point there is almost constantly gravel on 

the highway. 

As a taxpayer in the Town of Alfred and the 

State and as a person interested in the welfare of 

young people, I am concerned at the number of 

accidents which have occurred at that spot. To 

date 2 of them have been fatal to college students. 

Recently there was a substantial award 

against the State in a death claim. But I am not as 

interested in the money more accidents will cost 

the State as I am interested in your taking some 

remedial action. 

It appeared in the case referred to above that 

your personnel were aware of a "problem" but 

had not corrected it. There was a finding of 

negligence on the part of the State. Claimant's 

expert testified that another beamed guard-rail 

nearer the abutment would help. Also removal of 

gravel and installation of a speed zone were said 

to be likely to help. 

I strongly urge that you take such action.as is 

necessary to minimize if not avert the possibility 

of someone* else being killed on that highway. 

Sincerely, 

Richard B. Tolins 

The Alfred Two of Free Russo and Matros 

Dear Editor; 

It seemed to be the end of a very peaceful 

summer in Alfred, as I walked to a friend's house 

that evening. The date was September 2nd, it had 

been another warm day in the village. As I 

approached the Grange, I noticed a police car 

(non-village) outside my friend's apartment. 

Another friend was in the back seat of the police 

car looking hopeless. Tony was pacing up and 

down the driveway looking very confused. 

What was happening or had happened? I 

didn't comprehend and was suddenly concerned, 

not knowing what to do or how to help. Richard, 

my friend in the police car, was exchanged for 

Tony and asked to follow the police car to 

Wellsville. I hopped in Richard's car and went 

along for the ride asking questions all the way. 

Logically my first question was,"What did you 

two do?" 

I listened while Richard drove .following the 

police car, to Wellsville to be fingerprinted and 

photographed. What had occured and the reality 

of the situation reminded me of Alice running into 

the Mad Hatter, it seemed like a fantasy. 

Tony and Richard had been arrested for 

standing on village property, specifically the new 

fire station, while holding a 2" by 8" split piece of 

lumber. They needed a board for a 

bookcase and were waiting for an approaching 

patrolman to ask if they could have what they 

thought was discarded lumber. When the 

policeman came down the street towards them he 

didn't allow any room for questions but escorted 

Tony and Richard to his car and announced that 

they were under arrest for petty larceny. 

The trip to the Wellsville police station, the 

conversation and comments on the policeman's 

Respect Expressed for Team 

To Editor: 

I was one of the first to arrive at Merrill Field. I 

claimed by seat on the 50 yard line at about 10:30. 

I watched the stands fill up as gametime drew 

near. I was impressed by the tremendous battle 

that surged back and forth during the first half. 

A sense of confidence and belief gripped me as 

I saw the Saxons rise to the occasion once again 

against a highly rated opponent. When 

Bridgeport scored I felt bad, but confident that 

we could get it back. We did score and we took 

the lead on a phenomenal two point conversion 

play. I was already celebrating Alfred's victory 

when the thunderbolt struck and I sat in silence 

for about ten minutes. 

I came away profoundly sad but with great 

respect for our team. As just one student and as 

an avid fan I would like to say I am proud of the 

Saxon Warriors.

RECORDS & TAPES 

Open 6 Days Noi Saturday 

actions were all very real but so disturbing. 

Events of the evening included engaging legal 

council at a minimal cost of two hundred dollars 

and announcement that court would be held in 

two days. An ordeal like this wasn't pleasant for 

my friends and I'm sure no one else would find it 

exciting. Rather, un-nervingly shocking. 

Imagine being arrested for something you are 

innocent of, being photographed, fingerprinted, 

and then having to face false accusations at a 

great cost. This event, which took place on what I 

was hoping would be a mild Sunday evening 

really happened. It's no joke. My friends are still 

boggled by what occurred and are waiting more 

court sessions. 

Patrolman Butts, the arresting policeman, had 

explained that the more arrests he made the 

better chance of a promotion. Anthony Russo and 

Richard Matros were, I am sure, not as interested 

in promotions at the time but were instead 

worried over a police record for something that 

never occured. Whether patrolman Butt's 

statement was true or false is unknown to me. I 

can only hope and have faith that he is 

misinformed. Meanwhile there are a few 

people, students, and faculty members of this 

campus who are very sickened over the absurdity 

that took place. 

Concern Expressed 

Over Religious Propaganda 

P. O.'ed 

Dear Editor: 

It was entitled "Thief in the Night"...It's not 

just another science fiction flick! This poster was 

hung in the Campus Center sometime Saturday 

the 15th of September. Quite a crowd had 

gathered in the Parent's Lounge at the posted 

hour, 9:00 P.M. I don't know why the others were 

present, mostly parents and town children, but I 

was prepared for some good science fiction. 

Much to my suprise, the film turned out to 

exemplify the advantages of being a true 

Christian in a time of extreme strife. The world 

was fast losing its human population to those who 

gave themselves to Christ. The remaining 

population suffered extreme panic, formed a "Big 

Brother"-like government and life on earth 

became unbearable. 

This was not the first time I had walked into 

such a situation. Twice before I have been 

conned into Billy Graham movies, advertised as a 

motorcycling spectacle. I have of course, no one 

but myself to blame for these mistakes, but I do 

think it is a sad commentary on religion if it must 

resort to these methods. 

But this is not my only complaint. Though I 

have seen two similar films, I am appalled at the 

cunning and calculation of this film. I'm sure the 

adults in the room could handle these effects 

efficiently. But what of the children? In one 

scene a child came home from school and found 

her mother and sister missing. Having seen and 

heard the news of the Christian evacuation of the 

world, she suddenly believes her family has gone 

to heaven while she is left on earth. Panicking, 

she screams, and her family comes to her, for 

fortunately they haven't left. But the event is too 

much for her and she immediately prays to 

become a follower of the Lord. Surely, this is the 

most propogandistic religious media I have ever 

seen. I am deeply concerned as to the use of this 

media let alone its advertising. Ask yourself: Can 

you, let alone your children, afford such anxiety? 

I realize that each individual must answer 

these questions himself and I am not criticizing 

the University on its positions in these' matters. 

All groups should be honestly and fairly 

represented. However, in the future. I believe it 

should he policy to post and advertise more 

accurately

Peace Corps Comes to A.U. 

A Peace Corps and Vista Recruiter, Howard 

Conley, will be on the Alfred University campus 

Sept. 24 and 25 to offer program information to 

prospective candidates from the University and 

the surrounding area. 

Conley joined the Peace Corps as a volunteer in 

1970 and was stationed in India. He felt that it 

was an intense emotional experience as well as 

an eye opener as far as how conditions are in 

other countries as compared to the United States. 

A Peace Corps worker works where there are 

fewer comforts: you lose weight, you may get 

dysentary once or twice in adjusting to the new 

environment, there's a problem in adjusting to the 

hot climate (since most countries involved in the 

Peace Corps program are located in the tropics), 

the gross lack of transportation. In short, the 

Peace Corps volunteer is made profoundly aware 

of his own physical being and rapidly realizes 

what unusual comforts exist in America. 

There is a trend now toward recruiting the B.A. 

generalist as well as the skilled worker because 

there is an intensive training program through 

which one learns what he needs to know for the 

work he'll be doing. Foreign language proficiency 

is a plus. If you are a teacher in the Peace Corps, 

that will count as your internship, so when you 

come back, you will have no trouble getting a 

teacher's certification in New York State. Also, 

Peace Corps work serves as a good background 

for a person interested in pursuing International 

Affairs as a career. 

The tour of duty is two years, plus three months 

training. All living expenses are paid for, plus a 

subsistence allowance is given. Additionally, the 

volunteer is entitled to 48 days vacation (plus 

extra subsistence allowance) during the two year 

tour. 

The Vista volunteer works within the U.S. in 

deprived areas. There is an air of the unknown 

around the newly recruited Vista worker because 

he Won't know where he's going (Vista has 

programs in 49 out of the 50 states) or what he'll 

be doing during his one year tour. The Vista 

recruit will be working in the field of community 

action with a fairly undefined role. The parts of 

the U.S. serviced by Vista have a different culture 

than that which the middle-class college student 

is used to, so it takes a flexible person to work in 

this program since you will live where you work. 

Along with the one year tour of duty, the Vista 

worker gets free housing, and medical care plus a 

subsistence allowence (for food, entertainment, 

and miscellaneous expenses.) Previous to being 

stationed, the Vista recruit undergoes a three 

week training program, but, most of the training 

received for this program will be on-the-job 

training. Upon completion of the year's duty, the 

Vista worker will find it easy to become involved 

in poverty programs on a larger scale. 

If Peace Corps or Vista work sounds interesting 

to you, Mr. Conley will be available from 11:00 

a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on both next Monday and 

Tuesday in the Allen Hall Placement Office to 

answer any questions you might have and to 

accept applications. 

Library Receives Grant 

Herrick Memorial Library has received a grant 

of $25,000 from the Gleason Works of Rochester, 

N.Y. This generous gift, effective Oct. 1, is the 

second installment on a pledge made three years 

ago in response to a $75,000 proposal submitted 

to the company by President Miles. 

The money received by the library thus far, 

$25,000 during the 1971-72 school year, and this 

year's grant, has been earmarked for the 

purchase of special book collections and 

reference works not normally included in the 

annual departmental budget allocations for 

Herrick Library. 

CPC Speakers and Productions Scheduled 

Alfred University and the State University 

Agricultural and Technical College at Alfred 

announced today a cooperative series of 1973-74 

cultural programs that will bring nationally 

known speakers and stage productions to the two 

campuses. 

The initial offering in the series was a lecture 

by author George Plimpton Sept. 13 at Alfred 

University and is followed by the musical 

"Godspell" Sept. 21 at Alfred State College. 

Former Astronaut Scott Carpenter will speak 

Oct. 1 at Alfred University. On Oct. 11 the 

theater group known as the Otrabanda Players 

will appear on the same campus. 

Novella Nelson, a singer, will appear Oct. 24 at 

Alfred State College. Alfred University will be the 

site of concerts by the Buffalo Symphony 

Orchestra and pianist Gary Graffman Oct. 29 and 

Nov. 2 respectively. 

"Windom Plays Thurber" will be the offering 

Nov. 4 at Alfred State College. Robin Morgin, a 

The first Student Assembly meeting of the 

1973-74 academic year was September 13. It was 

presided over by co-chairmen George Karras and 

Paul Cahn. The attendence was less than had 

been anticipated by the officers. Student 

Assembly meetings are open to all interested 

students; each student has an equal voice and 

vote in what transpires. 

The first order of business was to list the 

committees with position vacancies, describe the 

responsibilities of each committee and explain the 

number of openings and to whom they are open. 

The nominations for these positions will take 

place during this week and next, and will be voted 

upon at the Student Assembly election on Sept 27. 

The committees with vacancies include: the 

Student Advisory Committe, New Performing Arts 

Center Committee, Computer Committtee, Library 

Committee, Student Grievance Committee, the 

University Council and the Student Activities 

Committee. 

The Student Activities Committee is a very 

important committee and the two opentings on it 

are for Freshman only; there will be a meeting on 

Sept. 18 to discuss the requirements and 

responsibilities of the members. 

There was a lengthy discussion about the 

financial status of the Student Assembly. The 

Student Assembly is in debt, some $7,767.91 

Women's Lib activist, will appear Dec. 4 at Alfred 

University. 

In 1974, folk singer Burl Ives is scheduled to 

appear Feb. 13 at Alfred State College. Alfred 

University will be series host for the next four 

presentations: the Tokyo String Quartet, March 

8; the National Players, March 13; a Detroit 

courtroom judge, Justin Ravitz, April 5; and 

Newsweek columnist Shana Alexander, April 16. 

Oboist Burt Lucarelli will appear in concert 

April 24 at Alfred State College. The season will 

close May 8 with lectures by representatives of 

Daughters of Bilitis and the Gay Alliance, at 

Alfred University. 

Offerings on both campuses will commence at 

8:15 p.m., locations to be announced at a later 

date. Students will be admitted to the events with 

AU or Alfred Tech I.D. Season tickets for the 

general public are available at Greene Hall on 

Main Street in Alfred, as well as at Jacobs Bros.

Student Assembly Holds First Meeting; 

Vacancies and Finances Discussed 

worth. Eight thousand dollars was taken as an 

advance payment of the 1973-74 Student 

Assembly allocations from the University. This * 

money was used to pay outstanding bills ($7,000) 

and to repair and improve the Student 

Store (almost $800). The co-chairmen were asked 

about the ethics of making such a major decision 

without consulting the Student Assembly as a 

whole. The reasons given were: (1) There were 

no students available this summer for 

consultation when the decision had to be made; 

(2) Students had expressed an interest in 

continuing the store in the coming year; and (3) by 

October it is projected that the store will have 

returned all of the funds put into it. 

The financial discussion also covered the tight 

budget under which all campus organizations will 

have to be run. They discussed different fund 

raising ideas and a Road Rally is planned for 

Tomorrow, Sept. 22, for this purpose. 

^ 

It was announced that some of the meetings in 

the future will be forums with town officials, \ 

President Miles and other important people in 

Alfred. The first forum with the President is 

scheduled for the end of September or beginning 

of October. 

The co-chairmen adjourned the meeting by 

asking for the cooperation and involvement of the 

students.

P.I.R.G. Still Lives 

(Remember P.I.R.G.? The group with the funny 

name that everyone was signing petitions for last 

spring? Many wanted to add a refundable 

$2.00 onto tuition for the purpose of expanding 

and enriching the Human Experience. Well, 

P.I.R.G. never quite made it.) 

P.I.R.G. stands for Public Interest Research 

Groups. It is a consumer interest group in which 

students investigate consumer problems, including 

false advertising, environmental pollution, 

illegal practices, and a multitude of other 

injustices, using the resources and facilities of a 

university to collect concrete evidence supporting 

their contentions. A professional staff of lawyers, 

engineers, and scientists give backing to the 

students if and when the situation becomes a 

* legal pursuit. It is for this staff that member 

universities contribute an average of $2.00 per 

student. (This contribution is strictly voluntary.) 

' 

Last spring, advocates of PIRG circulated 

petitions asking for student approval of the 

formation of an Alfred chapter of PIRG, as well as 

adding the $2.00 with tuition, with the 

understanding that any student could get his 

$2.00 refunded if he so desired. The group 

obtained over 800 signatures. However, the 

administration was unwilling to incorporate the 

addition into tuition, feeling that they would be, in 

effect, fund-raising for an independent, extracurricular 

"club". Despite the fact that as 

student advocates pointed out, PIRG projects 

would be eligible for academic credit and the 

overall program would be an academic addition 

to the University rather than an extra-curricular 

activity, the administration remainded adamant 

in their stand. Their only offer was that PIRG 

could enclose a letter with each student bill 

asking for donations. It was the feeling of the 

students involved that this would not be effective 

in raising sufficient funds for membership in 

central PIRG. Rather than making a half-way 

attempt at the program which was unlikely to be 

successful, PIRG was set aside for the time being. 

PIRG - dead at Alfred, or just sleeping? If you 

• are interested in seeing it started again, contact 

Tony Russo at Student Assembly or leave a

Student parking fees at Alfred University were 

raised this month from $10 to $20 for the 1973-74 

academic year. 

Income from this source will be used to 

partially offset the $32,000 cost of grading and 

paving parking lots with a capacity for 145 cars 

at two campus locations, Ade Hall and behind 

Alumni Hall. 

* The work, completed last month, is part of a 

continuing plan aimed at reducing internal traffic 

flow and developing perimeter parking and a 

pedestrian campus at Alfred. 

According to William A. Allen, campus director 

of safety, some 850 student automobiles are 

registered with the University.

Job Picture Brightens 

A brighter job picture was forecast last week 

for engineering graduates of the New York State 

College of Ceramics at Alfred University. 

"We're out of the doldrums," said James R. 

Tinklepaugh, associate professor of ceramic 

engineering and ceramics placement counselor. 

Tinklepaugh said that during the past academic 

year, more than 200 industrial openings for 

ceramic engineers came to the attention of the 

Alfred placement office and that 15 companies 

visited the Southern Tier campus to recruit 

engineers at salaries ranging from $9,300 to 

$13,000. Tinklepaugh said the U.S. Department 

of Labor, in its current Occupational Outlook 

Handbook, foresaw a rapid increase in the need 

for ceramic engineers due to growing use of 

ceramic materials in nuclear energy programs 

and electronics as well as consumer fields.

Volunteers Offer Chance to Help Others 

"ACTION!" Did you notice students wandering 

around campus the first week of school wearing 

subversive-looking red T-shirts emblazened with 

this slogan in bold letters? No, it is not a 1973 

version of the SDS or the SMC-but it is a student 

activist group. Student activists are not dead, 

just undergoing a metamorphosis. For these 

activists are not sign-bearing, slogan chanting 

political reformists. They are Student Volunteers 

for Community Action (SVCA) and their "action" 

is 

* 

helping other people. 

* * 

Begun last year under the guidance of Molly 

Congelli, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, the 

group has expanded at an explosive rate. They 

closed out last year with more volunteers than 

they had positions for, and last week's 

registration indicates that the upward trend is 

continuing. 

Leadership from the group comes from the 

Advisory Board, an elected body of six students, 

assisted by Molly Congelli. Several of the 

individual program co-ordinators have sub-committees 

working with them on the specific 

programs. There are three major divisions in the 

SVCA: the tutorial program, the Adopt-A-Grand- 

Trustees Attend Orientation 

Meeting the athletic coaches, a student 

presentation entitled "The Modern Student", and 

a CPC lecture by George Plimpton were among the 

activities enjoyed by a group of 36 guests, 

including Trustees, parents, and alumni, who 

visited the Alfred campus last week. 

The orientation program, which lasted from 

Thursday, September 13th through Saturday, 

September 15th, was mandatory for new 

Trustees; in addition, under the Master Plan, 

continuing Trustees are required to attend one 

orientation session out of every three. Also 

invited were members of the Parents Council, 

selected alumni, and new faculty members. The 

goal of the three-day session was to familiarize 

off-campus affiliates of the University with 

various aspects of campus life and administrative 

organization. 

Among those addressing the guests were 

President Miles, Vice President Barton, Mayor 

Horowitz, and Marlin Miller, Jr., a Trustee. The 

Advisory Board of Student Volunteers for 

Community Action also participated in the 

program, speaking to the Trustee Executive 

Committee. 

parent Program, and Special Projects. 

The tutorial program involves tutoring on a 

one-to-one basis, as well as acting as a teacher's 

aide in classroom situations. The tutoring takes 

place at Alfred-Almond Central School, where 

children range in age from elementary to high 

school level. Extra-curricular programs, such as 

sports are also included in the volunteers' 

outreach. 

The Adopt-A-Grandparent Program, a local 

senior citizens program, involves students 

"adopting" Alfred senior citizens and visiting 

them on a one-to-one basis. The emphasis this 

year, however, will be group activities for the 

older Alfredians. This program faces a real 

challenge this year; local senior citizens groups 

have been tried and abandoned several times 

over the years in Alfred. 

The third division of Student Volunteers, 

"Special Projects", is a sort of catch-all. It 

involves both projects such as Head Start in 

Hornell and one-shot projects; projected 

activities in the latter category include a faculty 

talent show for charity, campus beautification, 

and countless other possibilities. "Special 

Projects" seems to be the growth and 

development branch of the Student Volunteers. 

CMI Struggles for Best 

Although at present not directly affected by the 

shortage, student dining in Ade Hall and the Brick 

has by no means been left untouched by the 

current food situation. CMI director John Hansel 

has expressed some concern over his company's 

ability to obtain their standard high-quality food 

in the future. 

Alfred has not yet felt the shortage due to the 

fact that CMI officials foresaw the present 

problem as long as six months ago, and were able 

to stockpile in preparation for it. When those 

supplies dwindle, however, shortages, lower 

quality products, and higher prices will pose a 

challenge to CMI officials. 

On the present market, fruit, vegetables, 

cheese and meat are all short in supply and high 

in price, therefore lower in quality. In addition, 

oils, margarine, mayonnaise, and other indispensible 

fat products have become both 

expensive and scarce. 

According to many official predictions, food 

prices may fall somewhat in the near future. 

Until then, however, there promises to be a tough 

struggle for CMI to provide students with the best 

food their money can huy.


OZ Is Looking for 

Volunteers 

In the fall of '68 three interested students 

started an informal service with the purpose of 

talking people down from bad trips. Later on, 

they named themselves "The Alfred University 

Student Drug Communications Committee." Since 

that time, the name has been shortened to OZ 

(that is not an abbreviation) but the purpose of 

the organization has widened. OZ is now a 

crisis-intervention service concerned with 

problems dealing with everything from sex to 

drugs. If faced with a problem that they cannot 

handle, OZ more than often can refer you to 

somebody who can. 

The '71-72 school year marked the formalization 

of OZ as a hotline and drop-in center. At that 

time Alfred University granted them permission 

to use their present house at 6 Sayles Street, and 

the hotline service which then consisted of a 

telephone in the middle of a busy living room was 

begun. The hotline training program was also 

being formed and they began receiving state 

funds and more help from Alfred University and 

Alfred Tech. Their plans this year involve going 

county wide and more than doubling their present 

staff of 15-20 people. 

An important question to ask is who does and 

who can work for OZ. At the present time OZ is 

grossly under-staffed and is looking for interested 

people who are willing to donate their time and 

Symposium Held at Alfred 

Some 100 scientists from the United States and 

four other nations attended an international 

symposium on glass and ceramics Aug. 27 

through 29 at the New York State College of 

.Ceramics .at, Alfred Unversity. 

The three-day conference, which featured 

technical papers from researchers in government 

industry and universities, was sponsored by the 

College of Ceramics in cooperation with the 

National Aeronautics and Space Administration 

and the U.S. Army Research Office at Durham, 

N.C. 

Papers ranged across a broad field of topics 

including ceramic components of anti-pollution 

devices and the Wankel internal combustion 

engine. 

The session was the eighth in a series on 

ceramic materials held at Alfred, North Carolina 

State University, the University of California at 

Berkeley and Notre Dame University. 

New Nursing Degree Planned 

In 1971 the Regents of the State of New York 

announced plans for the development of an 

external Associate in Applied Science in Nursing 

degree. Since that time, outstanding nurse 

educators from New York State have been 

involved in the development of this program. 

Degree requirements have now been established, 

and over 700 individuals are already enrolled. 

Many of these candidates have either partially 

or fully met the general education requirements 

anticipation of the completion of the Nursing 

examination. Four of the eight Nursing 

examinations will be offered in November of this 

year. The first graduation will be in late 1974. 

Nursing educators and all others in the 

academic community are invited to attend 

"Regional Meetings" across the State to become 

acquainted with the Regents External Associate 

in Applied Science in Nursing Degree. 

Nurse faculty responsible for the development 

of the degree and Regents External Degree staff 

will be on hand to provide background and to 

answer questions at each meeting. 

All meetings will be held from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at 

the designated locations. 

More Money for 

Library 

Alfred University was the recipient of a $5,000 

library grant from the Department of Health, 

Education and Welfare in Washington, D.C., in 

June of this year. 

patience to OZ's cause. 

OZ conducts a fairly extensive training 

program for its new members. The program 

begins with 8 hours of training in counseling 

techniques and in how to be a good listener. This 

is followed by a 4 hour session concerned with 

drugs, laws effecting students, and information 

about sex, birth control, V.D., and abortions. 

On-the-job training is the next phase of the 

training program. Its purpose is to aquaint the 

trainee with the information in the hotline office 

such as equipment and reading material. The 

trainee then answers simulated phone calls with 

his trainer, and when it is felt that he is ready he 

is allowed to answer the hotline under 

supervision. 

Dave Gruder, the director of OZ, says that OZ 

needs more people. If you are interested in 

having an interview call 871-2112 or drop in to 6 

Sayles before Thursday, Sept. 22. Or if you just 

want to call or come over to talk, that's O.K. too, 

because that's what they're there for.

l)r. Douglas F. Johnson, assistant professor of 

psychology at Alfred University, was the author 

of an article on racial 10 characteristics in the 

August issue of the American Psychologist, 

published by the American Psychological 

Association. 

The title of Johnson's article was the 

"Performance of Blacks and Whites in 

Computerized Versus Manual Testing 

En\ : iinments." It discussed research he had 

condui ted suggesting that blacks, as a group, 

perform as well as whites on intelligence and 

achievement tests. 

The consensus of experimental data gathered 

over the past few decades has indicated that 

blacks, as a group, score lower on IQ tests than 

do whites. 

Johnson offered evidence that computerization 

of the test procedures - presenting instructions 

and questions, and demanding responses, by 

means of remote terminals - raised the test scores 

of inner-city blacks to an equivalent level with 

whites. 

John C, Wood, professor of graphics at the New 

York State College of Ceramics at Alfred

award of $500. According to Boyer, the 

recognition program "affirms that the quality of a 

college education is closely linked to . . . teachers 

who demonstrate high standards of scholarly 

work and love of learning." 

Criteria for Wood's selection included 

demonstrated mastery of teaching techniques 

and a constructive effort to help students attain a 

high level of academic proficiency.

We invited a few friends for dinner 

and they helped clean up the Genesee River. 

With the aid of a few thousand pounds of microorganisms, 

we're helping to solve the water pollution problem in 

Rochester. Maybe the solution can help others. 

What we did was to combine two processes in a way 

that gives us one of the most efficient water-purifying systems 

private industry has ever developed. 

One process is called "activated sludge," developed 

by man to accelerate nature's microorganism adsorption. 

What this means is that for the majority of wastes man can 

produce, there is an organism waiting somewhere that will 

happily assimilate it. And thrive on it. 

The breakthrough came when Kodak scientists found 

a way to combine the activated sludge process with a trickling 

filter process and optimized the combination. 

We tested our system in a pilot plant for five vea"S. 

(At Kodak, we were working on environmental improvement 

long before it made headlines.) And the pilot project worked 

so well, we built a ten-million-dollar plant that can purify 

36-million gallons of water a day. 

Governor Rockefeller called this "the biggest voluntary 

project undertaken by private industry in support of 

New York State's pure-water program." 

Why did we do it? Partly because we're in business to 

make a profit and clean water is vital to our business. But in 

furthering our own needs, we have helped further society's. 

And our business depends on society. 

We hope our efforts to cope with water pollution will 

inspire others to do the same. And, we'd be happy to share 

our water-purifying information with them. We all need clean 

water. So we all have to work together. 

Kodak 

More than a business.

Residence 

Hold Sex 

Halls 

Forums 

Something very healthy is happening on many 

of our college campuses across the country with 

regards to sexuality. It is timely, the questions 

being raised regarding sexuality indicate clearly 

the importance of this topic to all members of 

society. In a sense it is a search for perspective. 

The force that is gathering on many of our college 

campuses with regards to the desire for sexual 

information and with regard to the publishing of 

many sex education handbooks, suggests strongly 

the lack of adequate formal loci for obtaining the 

necessary information in this very significant 

area. Because of the taboos associated with this 

subject, the information has been kept from the 

students. Most of the information that is obtained 

in this light is misinformation and at most 

inadequate. 

The questions that are being asked by our 

college students are legitimate, and necessary, 

and should make us all respond thoughtfully, 

adequately, and quickly to fill the void that has 

been there for such a long time. The University 

should respond. For to abdicate this 

responsibility would leave instruction and 

consideration to the commercial interest of our 

society and it is clearly evident that already this 

is happening when one stops and makes the 

observation that novels are selling best and 

movies are well attended when sex is the 

predominant theme. 

Higher education must take seriusly this very 

important part of education that will equip the 

"whole man" for his responsible participation in 

society. These fundamental facts and principles 

regarding sexuality must become a part of the 

educational process through continuing educational 

oportunity and informal dialogue. 

The purpose of these forums will be to provide 

the opportunity for confrontation and dialogue 

with leading educators and physicians in several 

related fields so that theory, practice, research, 

and reflection will make the individual rediscover 

and re-evaluate his own ideas. 

Because it is the function of the University to 

educate and set forth into society the graduates 

who are determined to improve the society, they 

must be equipped with the proper tools in 

understanding how the individual in society 

functions. Only when we understand ourselves 

can we begin to understand other individuals. 

Through these forums it is hoped that the growth 

of the student will progress and will make him 

realize that in order to make a scholarly 

contribution to society the individual must 

undertake a viable search for perspective within 

himself. Finally, the student will have equipped 

his mentality with knowledge in the hopes that he 

will make society a better place for all mankind 

and that he will have a better understanding of 

the problems of abortion, population, sex 

education, and contraception. But, most 

importantly, a better understanding of himself.

Some Master Plan Goals Are Instituted 

With the resumption of classes Sept. 10 Alfred 

University inaugurated the second year of a 

10-year Master Plan that formulates fundamental 

changes in the institution's academic structure. 

A key component of the plan, available for the 

first time, will be an optional elective curriculum 

stressing student-designed majors and a flexible 

period of campus residence. 

Known as Track 2, the program will initially be 

limited to the University's College of Liberal Arts. 

According to Dr. James A. Taylor, dean of the 

college, subsequent years will see a gradual 

phasing-in of Track 2 - also on an elective basis - 

in the University's other undergraduate 

branches. These are the School of Business 

Administration, School of Nursing and Health 

Care, and New York State College of Ceramics at 

Alfred University, the institution's sole statesupported 

unit. 

A traditional four-year course of study in a 

broad range of established majors will continue 

to be offered in tandem with Track 2 in the 

College of Liberal Arts and other academic units. 

Track 2 is a three-stage program leading to the 

bachelor of arts degree. It is planned as a 

composite of classroom study and independent 

research and study, the format including a 

foundation period in which students take a 

common course entitled "Problems of the 

Twentieth Century," an "inquiry period" 

emphasizing problem-oriented interdisciplinary 

study, and a final, or baccalaureate, stage 

designed to integrate knowledge or experience 

previously gained. 

A comprehensive evaluation by the student's 

faculty advisors will be required for degree 

certification. Track 2's duration will be from 

three to five years. 

IRS Answers Questions 

Q. Several weeks ago, I left my summer job to 

return to school. I earned a total of $1700 from 

the job. I won't have any more income for the 

remainder of the year. Does this mean that I 

won't have to file in 1974? 

A. In general, if you are single, you don't have to 

file a return unless you made more than $2050. 

However, if income tax was withheld from your 

pay, you must file a return to have that tax 

refunded to you. 

Q. I've been awarded a scholarship to graduate 

school. I haven't decided yet whether I want to 

stay in school to get a degree or just to take some 

courses I'm interested in. Will it make any 

difference from a tax standpoint whether or not 

I'm a degree candidate? 

A. Yes. If you are a degree candidate, there is no 

limitation on the amount of scholarship or 

fellowship grant that may be excluded from your 

income. On the other hand, if you are not a degree 

candidate, the amount you receive as a 

scholarship or fellowship, including the value of 

services and accommodations provided to you, 

may be excluded from your income only up to 

$300 times the number of months for which you 

receive amounts under the grant during the tax 

year. There is a 36 month limit under the 

exclusion for non-degree students. 

Q. I earned over $2500 from my summer job 

before I went back to school. Will this cause my 

parents to lose my dependency exemption? 

A. No. If you are a full-time student for any part 

of five months of the year or under 19 at the end 

of the year, your parents can claim you as a 

dependent regardless of how much money you 

make. Of course, they must meet all other 

dependency tests, including the furnishing of 

more than one-half of your total support. 

"We feel Track 2 should have a strong appeal 

specifically for job-oriented students as well as 

for those whose career goals are as yet 

unformed," Taylor declared. 

In support of the long-range planning program, 

a series of other steps have already been taken or 

are planned for 1973-74. Cooperative overseas 

arrangements with other schools are now in 

operation. A computer-science survey course has 

been introduced into the curriculum. Planning is 

underway for challenge examinations that grant 

academic credit for college-level work satisfactorily 

covered by high school, informal study, 

travel or hobbies. 

On an administrative level, a format is under 

study for board of trustee evaluation of the 

University president. Periodic review of the 

teaching effectiveness of tenured faculty received 

board approval last spring. 

An informational program characterized as 

"purely voluntary" by its participants is also 

underway to enhance quality teaching at Alfred. 

Seven faculty members recently attended a 

consultant-led "faculty development" seminar 

sponsored by the College Center of the Finger 

Lakes, a cooperative association of Western New 

York schools of which Alfred is a member. 

Spokesmen for the group said following the 

session that one of their aims is to foster closer 

faculty ties with students. For example, some 

thought is being given to establishing classes and 

seminars in student residences. 

The spokesmen, Dr. George C. Towe, professor 

of physics, and Dr. Stephen R. Phillips, assistant 

professor of English, said the group plans to 

represent itself on campus "not as experts but 

simply as people interested in quality teaching. 

We hope to share with our colleagues any 

information we've gained on instructional 

development," 

Central to the University's long-range planning 

process is a $30-million program of new 

construction and academic advancement announced 

last June but approved earlier by the 

trustees. 

The campus development plan forecasts a 1986 

completion date, marking the sesquicentennial 

anniversary of the University's founding as a 

rural academy in 1836. 

The 13-year program gives first priority to 

construction of a new library, performing arts 

center and residence hall facilities. 

Semi-endowed professorships, support for 

overseas study and research, and a campus 

beautification scheme are among the priority 

projects. Pedestrian malls on the site of former 

roadways are now under construction on the 

central campus as the first phase of the capital 

program. 

Fall enrollment (full- and part-time, undergraduate 

and graduate) at Alfred University is 

expected to climb fractionally above last year's 

total of 2,454. Of this number, a freshman class of 

approximately 560 is forecast by the University's 

admissions office. 

As of Sept. 1, tuition in the University's private 

sector will be $2,800 annually, marking an 

increase of $150 over last year. 

In the state-funded College of Ceramics, tuition 

will remain level with last year. Tuition charges 

for this academic unit follow the lead set by the 

central headquarters of the State University of 

New York in Albany. 

The room-and-board charge for all students in 

Alfred University housing will rise from $1,300 to 

$1,350 in September. 

In new construction on campus, a $5.6 million 

library-fine arts building for the College of 

Ceramics was completed last March. Called 

Charles M. Harder Hall after a former Ceramics 

College art teacher and administrator, the 

building is scheduled for occupation in September 

by the college's Division of Art and Design. 

Engineering and science facilities will continue in 

their current locations elsewhere on campus.

An In-depth Look at Horowitz as Alfred's 

Last March political fever swept through the 

fair village of Alfred, N.Y. as its residents were 

treated to a real election contest for the first time 

in a good number of years. As it turned out 

Alfred University's own Dr. Gary Horowitz was 

elected as the village's first Democratic mayor in 

the modern era. Naturally, campaign promises 

were made, proposals offered and ideas 

propounded during those hectic campaign days of 

March. And now, some six months later, it 

perhaps befits the occasion to examine exactly 

how Mayor Horowitz is handling his new job, 

what has been done over the past summer in 

Alfred, as most of us succumb to the annual 

summer emmigration fever, and exactly what 

promises were kept, were not kept, or are in the 

process of being kept as the case may be. 

First, to examine the main proposals made by 

Mayor Horowitz during the March campaign. 

1.) Revitalization of the downtown business 

district, including the re-establishment of a food 

store in town. 

2.) Creation of a recreational area for children 

and a park for adults. 

3.) Expansion of community center in Village 

Hall. 

4.) Revitalization of village green-areas and 

reopening of Kanakadea Creek. 

5.) Construction of sidewalks where needed. 

6.] Downhold on all local taxes. 

Since the demise earlier this year of the Ide's 

Grocery Store, the village has been without the 

local services of a place in which to purchase 

food. A major problem, of course, in regaining a 

food store in the village has been the fact that the 

last one went out of business, which does not bear 

too favorably on a business outlook for any future 

store. However, Mayor Horowitz has hinted that 

there exists a strong possibility that a group from 

Buffalo is interested in coming to Alfred to open 

up a small grocery store. 

The Mayor has apparantly also made some 

headway with respect to the recreational life in 

the village. A youth commission has been created 

to attend to the problems of young people in 

Alfred, in order to overcome what he calls three 

problems of the town's youth, namely; alcoholism, 

runaways, and boredom, afternoon and evening 

programs for young people are underway. A 

park with the assistance of some people from 

Alfred Tech, as well as a playground on Pine Hill 

Drive and sandlots are under construction. On 

the other side of the coin, a new service for 

Work is expected to start this week on a new 

dormitory which will be ready for occupancy by 

September 1, 1974. The new dorm, designed 

unlike any other on campus, will be located in the 

area adjacent to and behind Women's New Dorm. 

The structure of the dorm will be a series of 

seven small units rather than one large building, 

each unit containing a number of private 

apartments. Five of the units will be three stories 

high, and the remaining will have two stories. 

There will be no corridors or passage ways 

between apartments. Each apartment will have a 

private outside entrance made accessible by 

stairwells and balconies on all levels. 

The exterior of the units will have a rustic 

woody appearance rather than the brick 

exteriors of the other dorms. The wooded area 

around the dorm will be maintained, and it will be 

landscaped sufficiently ' to provide outdoor 

recreational facilities. Sun decks will also be 

built for the use of both residents of the new dorm 

and of Women's New Dorm. 

Each apartment is designed to house four to six 

people, and is complete with bedrooms, a living 

room, a dining area, and a full kitchen where 

students can cook their own meals. It will not be 

necessary for residents of this dorm to eat in the 

dining halls. 

Every consideration has been taken to make the 

new dorm a desirable place to live. Each room 

will have overhead lights and numerous wall 

sockets, and the bathrooms will have flourescent 

lights. A new design will keep noise at a 

Work to Start This Week on New Dorm 

Mayor 

Alfred's senior citizens has been instituted, 

Called the "Elderberry Express", a bus 

transportation system has been set up to 

transport the village's over 55 generation twice a 

week and free of charge to and from Hornell, a 

particularly important achievment since many of 

the village's older people do not have access to 

transportation of their own in which to travel to 

the major towns around Alfred. 

As for the town's beautification program, 

headway has also been made on this matter 

according to the Mayor. He said that some 94 

trees were planted last April, and while some elm 

trees were cut, he expects them to be replaced 

with a re-planting program in about 3 weeks. In 

order to look further into the greening of Alfred, 

the Village Planning Board is conducting a survey 

on just exactly what needs to be done to 

re-awaken the ecological beauty of the village. 

Concerning the not-so-green subject of cement, 

road construction and sidewalks, a new plan has 

already been approved by the Village Board for 

construction. The Mayor hopes for more green 

areas in the village, the construction of 

sidewalks where necessary and the building of 

bicycle paths at strategic points in the village. 

Sidewalk construction would make use of 

concrete instead of asphalt, the former of which 

costs a cheap 40 cents/sq. ft. 

"There is no reason whatsoever to raise local 

taxes", states Mayor Horowitz in view of his 

constant chocking of the village budget. He hopes 

to push through the Village Board a new program 

that would exempt those citizens over 65 from 

paying Vi of their local taxes while raising the tax 

exemption level to $5,000 of annual income for 

each senior citizen. 

Community involvement, according to Mayor 

Horowitz, is indeed an emphasis in his 

administration. He hopes for a program of live, 

outdoor concerts next summer with maximum 

participation by people from the immediate area. 

He welcomes all student volunteers to work on 

the Village Youth Programs. 

All of the problems of the village have not been 

solved, but it does seem in the six month period 

since the election of the mayor, Alfred is indeed 

on the road towards revitalization rather than 

stagnation. It would be most interesting to take 

another look at what the Mayor and the people of 

Alfred will have done in the next six-month period 

to indeed determine which road the village is 

taking. 

minimum. 

A commons facility is planned for the use of all 

residents. In addition to laundry facilities and 

mailboxes, the commons will also have two 

seminar rooms, a multi-purpose room, a full 

kitchen, and a soundproof typing room. The 

multi-purpose room will have a fireplace, and will 

be equipped with partitions for use when there 

are smaller gatherings. 

The staff arrangements are as yet undecided, 

but they will be different than the existing 

arrangements in the dorms. 

The dorm will house both men and women, and 

there are 180 student bids for residency next 

September. The new dorm will have all the 

privacy of an apartment, plus the convenience of 

living on campus. All the requests fo students 

have been implemented in the planning and 

designing of the new dorm.

Campus Face-Lift 

Performed Over Summer 

by Pamela A. Borey 

The summer of '73 marked a new face-lifting 

campaign for A.U.'s campus. East University 

Ave. was torn up between State St. and Howell 

Hall, replaced by a green mall of grass. Sidewalks 

have been put in where the Campus 

Planning Committee noted most used paths of 

travel. 

Part of State St. has been removed, and grass 

and sidewalks have also replaced it. The 

remainder of State St. will also probably be 

altered to form a grass mall, but this work may 

not be done until next spring. 

No specific plans have been made for Saxon 

Drive (the road above the Science Center). Two 

thoughts for its future have been proposed, 

however; tentative plans include the complete 

removal of the blacktop, replacing the area with 

grass, or making minor modifications on the 

street to make it a limited access parking area. 

Other work being done presently on campus 

consists of the erection of those much-needed 

stairways connecting the Pine Hill dorms, 

including one coming down from between Kenyon 

and Davis to the Ade Hall area. 

Flower beds are being planned for several 

locations around campus, which should make 

Alfred seem even more like home-sweet-home 

(except for those of you who come from the city, I 

guess)- 

Parking is an issue of much interest now that 

AU has such an extensively pedestrian campus. 

Those persons bringing cars to Alfred this year 

are asked to pay $20 for parking on campus, for 

the period of the academic year or any portion 

thereof. 

This fee, raised $10 from previous years, is to 

be used to offset the $32,000 cost of levelling and 

paving parking areas on campus. There are 

hopes that the new lots (Ade Hall, Alumni Hall) 

will also be landscaped to some extent in the near 

future, in order not to be an ecologically and 

aesthetically unpleasing eye sore. 

Parking stickers go along with permission to 

park on campus, showing where one may park. 

Students are usually restricted to parking spots in 

the areas of their respective dorms. There are 

560 spaces available for student parking, 460 of 

which have been allotted so far. 335 faculty and 

staff members have received stickers for their 

designated areas. Commuters with permits will 

park only in the McLane Center parking lot. 

Special parking permits may be obtained by 

those people who expect to have cars on campus 

for only a short period of time. For example, if 

one was to bring up a car a week or two before 

vacation, the Office of Safety would like the 

student to get a special permit. This is done so 

they will know that the car is on campus for a 

purpose, and who it belongs to in case of an 

emergency. 

William Allen, Director of Safety at AU, feels 

the need for parking permits is simply to facilitate 

the organization and movement of travel on 

campus. The parking fee pays for some of the 

upkeep of parking areas, and he feels it is unfair 

for those people who have not paid the fee to be 

permitted to take up spaces allotted to students 

with permits. 

The Security Aides will be ticketing those cars 

without stickers and attempts will be made to 

locate the owners of these cars so that they may 

purchase permits. 

If the owner of an un-stickered car cannot be 

located, and the car is parked in a "no parking" 

zone or fire access lane to the pedestrian campus, 

the car will be towed away at the expense of the 

owner. 

Mr. Allen feels the pedestrian campus is 

working well at AU, with most of the complaints 

coming from those persons with cars who can no 

longer drive from class to class. He feels Alfred 

students and faculty are going to have to get used 

to the idea of walking if the pedestrian campus is 

going to operate at an .optimum level.


New Proposals to Beat Costs 

Logic Behind New Library Explained 

Despite the anguished cries of impoverished 

Alfred students last May, enterprising majors in 

the Human Experience are discovering that they 

are being charged $75.00 per credit hour for 

course loads over 18 hours. Prior to this 

semester, the ceiling load had been 20 hours. 

The administration cited as reason for the 

change both philosophical and financial factors 

regarding the span of hours defining a full-time 

student. Previously, a student was classified as 

full-time if he was carrying between 9 and 20 

hours, inclusive; standard tuition rate was 

applicable to these students. Below 9 hours, the 

student paid per credit hour, thus arriving at a 

substantially lower tuition fee. Over 20 hours 

resulted in the overload charge. 

Under the new system, a student may carry up 

to and including 11 hours and still be classified as 

part-time, paying tuition by the credit hour. 12 to 

18 hour loads are covered by tuition, with over 18 

hours subject to the overload fee. 

The controversial issue of the 18- or 20-hour 

limit is by no means dead, however. Two 

proposals have been submitted to Dean Taylor of 

the College of Liberal Arts. He has indicated that 

both proposals do have potential and will be 

considered. The proposals are as follows: 

[1] A scholarship fund be set up for students 

wishing to carry over 18 hours and demonstrating 

both academic capability and financial need. 

This would be for high scholarship students who 

would be otherwise unable to take over 18 hours 

simply due to the added cost. 

This proposal would allow the University to 

remain consistent in terms of the adjustment of 

the specifications for a full-time student, while 

preventing any student capable of taking an 

overload, and desiring to do so. from being 

penalized by the extra fee. [With regard to the 

philosophical aspect of the full-time status, the 

rationale used was that a student must take 15 

hours per semester in order to graduate in eight 

semesters: this should be the average course 

load covered by tuition. A 3-hour leeway was 

established on either side of this average, with 

anything below that costing the student loss, and 

above it. more.] 

[2] Standard registration procedure is pre-registration 

[the previous semester], registration, and 

a 5-day drop-add period at which time the student 

may make schedule changes with no charge. This 

is usually the first week of classes. After this 

period, changes are subject to a $15.00 late fee. 

This proposal suggests that students be 

allowed to register for no more than 18 hours, 

under standard tuition rate, up through this 

drop-add period. [Students wishing to sign up for 

overloads at that time would be charged the 

overload fee.] After the drop-add period, there 

would be a two day period during which students 

already carrying 18 hours would be allowed to fill 

vacancies in existing course sections. In this 

way, existing course space would be utilized to its 

fullest potential, at no additional cost to the 

University. 

Although the Campus Plan proposes a new 

library building instead of a mere addition, all 

souls are not satisfied with the decision. Why 

spend $4 million on a 280,000 book library when 

we have only 133,000 books at present? Wouldn't 

an addition be more sensible and leave money for 

other priorities? Mr. Franklin, the librarian, was 

very eager to explain the logic behind the 

proposal. 

1.) The new Learning Resources Center, as 

President Miles has dubbed the new building, 

would have a considerable amount of audiovisual 

equipment, including television and all sorts of 

microform non-books. There will also be an 

all-night study area and quite a bit of "soundproofing" 

throughout the building. To install the 

equivalent in Herrick Library would require 

extensive remodelling and the result would be a 

less efficient system. 

2.) What will happen to Herrick when the move 

is complete? After some modification, both the 

Business Administration and Nursing Colleges 

will be located in this building, which is centrally 

located and in little danger of imminent collapse. 

If the library is not moved, a new building will 

have to be built for these two schools. 

3.) As far as capital funds go, Alfred has 

already received a $2 x /i million gift towards a 

new library. This would cover an addition and 

most modifications. However, since less than 

twine that amount would cover a new building, 

why not raise the difference? Understandably, 

it's more prestigious to donate to a New Library 

Fund than to help build simple classrooms and 

offices for Bus. Ad. and Nursing.

Poetry Contest to Be Held 

r 

Auditions Open for Play 

"The Threepenny Opera" broke box-office 

records in its original Berlin run, 1928-1933, and 

it broke them again when it ran for a half-dozen 

vears. 1954-1961, in New York. This bitter-sweet 

musical play written by Bertolt Brecht with music 

bv Kurt Weill will be the major production of the 

University's Performing Arts Department this 

Fall. 

Based on John Gay's earlier work, "The 

Beggar's Opera". Brecht's play expresses the 

feelings and thoughts of the world hidden from 

high society, the select society of the underworld 

where bums, crooks and others of ill repute suffer 

and dream in a harsh reality. Kurt Weill's music 

* seems a perfect romantic and strong counterpoint 

to the stabbing lyrics of Brecht, and the simple 

strange truth of the matter carries its own honest 

humor. Brecht also tried to create on stage a new 

kind of style for his plays, a style that would stir 

the audience to think and to act more. 

Paradoxically, his "Epic Theater" strove to do 

this by technical devices aimed at separating the 

audience from the emotional moment on stage. 

Although many critics oppose this "theater of 

alienation", it is precisely this kind of theater 

which still is in the vanguard in the form of multimedia 

stage presentations. 

At any rate. "The Threepenny Opera" will 

prove to be a worthy challenge for all those who 

will be involved in the production, and it will also, 

I hope, be an exciting evening for all those who 

will attend the performances in the new Harder 

Hall Theater. December 6, 7, 8, & 9th. Open 

auditions will be held .for this play September 

22nd and 23rd. For additional audition 

information see posted material on bulletin 

boards around the school or drop into the Music 

Building Office. 

Jazz musician John Labarbara will offer « 

twice-weekly course in jazz arranging at Alfred 

University, in the department of performing arts, 

beginning next week. 

Labarbara, chief arranger for the Buddy Rich 

Orchestra, has appeared on the Alfred campus in 

spring jazz festivals this year and last. He has 

also taught courses in jazz and acoustics at the 

University for the past two years. 

Labarbara's credits as a trumpeter and pianist 

Students are invited to enter their original 

poems for the 1973 "Poets of the Year" Awards 

sponsored by Atlantic Press, the New York and 

London book publishers. 

There are ten awards totalling $12,000.00 in 

prize money. The first prize is for $7,200.00. This 

is the world's most valuable poetry contest and it 

is open to writers in all parts of the world. In 

1971 the coveted title of "Poet of the Year" was 

won by an Irishman and last year the first prize 

was presented to an English poet. The likelihood 

of an American writer taking first place in the 

1973 contest is good because a special effort is 

being made by the sponsors to attract many more 

entries from the USA. 

All styles of poetry will be considered and there 

is no restriction on subject matter. If possible, 

entries should not be longer than 40 lines. 

Poems and requests for entry forms and fuller 

details should be sent to: 

Atlantic Press (Awards),

Plimpton Proves Interesting 

The commencement of the 1973-74 Cultural 

Series Program took place at Harder Hall on 

Thursday.Sept. 13th at eight-fifteen P.M. The 

speaker was George Plimpton, author of the best 

seller, The Paper Lion. 

The lecture was delayed due to the late arrival 

of, the Trustee Alumni Patent Orientation. After 

the wait, Nolan Cooper introduced the speaker as 

the man who the late Senator Kennedy spoke of 

in this quote: "Some people would like to be 

president, but I would rather be George 

Plimpton." 

Mr. Plimpton described himself as a man who 

acts out his fantasies. His career as an eccentric 

began with his running in the Boston Marathon as 

part of his initiation of his college fraternity. As 

he described other lunacies of his life after 

college, the large audience snickered at 

appropriate moments. 

After brief mechanical difficulties, the 

presentation continued with slides, depicting his 

various endeavors. Following these, Plimpton 

recounted a final story of the situation in which 

he was most afraid. This was his temporary 

involvement with the New York Philharmonic 

Orchestra. He stated that he was more afraid of 

hitting the gong at the wrong moment in a suite, 

conducted by Leonard Bernstein, than when 

performing on the wire or playing with the 

Baltimore Colts. 

Finally, Plimpton asked for questions from the 

audience. A question was raised in reference to 

a television commercial for the Daily News. Mr. 

Plimpton apologetically responded by saying that 

it was greed that lead him to make the 

commercial, but he regretted having done so. 

All in all, it was an interesting experience, but 

not worth missing Kung Fu. 

Fellini Reviewed 

From his brief personnel introduction until the 

ecclesiastical fashion show, Federico Fellini 

attempted to pacify an audience with trite 

obscenity, vulgar populance, and slurs against 

the church. For in Fellini's Roma a synopsis of 

the childhood to maturity of an established 

filmmaker was portrayed by scenes of 

classrooms, restaurants, expressways(?), rooming 

houses, vaudeville acts, the protocol of 

brothels. 

Many early scenes held an overtone of humor 

but with time, routine and redundancy became 

the mode of operation. Fellini, for whatever its 

worth tried to present his views, his emotions 

towards a city that had fomerly been the center of 

the world. The people who departed early from 

the performance and to those who remained, 

there seemed to be the unfulfilled question 

related to the concluding shots of motorcyclists 

speeding on into the night; "What's the purpose 

and where does it all lead?"

SON OF DUST 

Mike Schwartz 

I am going to do something different this year 

with this column. I will not deal purely with 

politics like I have done previously. Instead I will 

report on any thing that comes to my attention. 

This column is going to be a forum for myself, a 

means for getting a few ¿'lings off of my chest. 

WHAT I DID OVER THE SUMMER VACATION 

Mike Schwartz 

grade 7 

My friend, Rick, and I wanted to get jobs this 

summer because we werp bored with Alfred. We 

went to the employment agency in Hornell and 

filled out a sheet that asked us our previous 

positions held. Next we had an interview with 

this man of about 65 years with white hair, bad 

breath and dandruff. What he told me was that 

there was no chance in hell in getting a job with 

my qualifications: working in a department store 

for two summers and fired twice. He asked me 

what I wanted to do. "President of G.M." Hesiad 

that he would call me if he heard of anybody 

quitting down at G.M. "How about American 

Motors - I'm not picky." 

Rick and I left the unemployment agency saying 

only one sentence to each other: "Do you know 

what the chance of getting a job is? About as 

much chance as getting laid or buying a new 

car." 

Finally we heard about a job at a foundry in 

Friendship, New York about 25 minutes away 

from Alfred and 10 minutes outside of Angelica 

where the famed riding camp named Brentwood 

Camp is located (free plug, Patti.) 

Rick and I showed up there and I couldn't 

believe it. A haze hung over the two buildings 

that made up the plant. We walked into one pf 

the buildings and saw the personnel manager and 

he said,"College students. Hot damn. Some 

intelligence. Wow. How about that." We were 

hired on the spot. We were issued hard hats and 

I put mine on and Rick pointed at me and said that 

I looked ridiculous. "What is a Long Island Jew 

who went to private school and college and whose 

father owns a fur company doing with a hard 

hat?" 

My mother asked me that, too. 

I didn't have an answer. I'm still trying to find 

one. 

We were given assignments to make the molds 

out of which parts of G.M. cars are cast. (I 

knew I'd end up in G.M.) Two right hand gloves 

were given to us. Some people had two left hand 

gloves. Figure that one out. 

The people who worked there were amazing. 

Dirty, black caked-on features and faces pf hate 

and disgust and boredom and pain, blue hats 

pulled over hair that was crusted with sweat and 

dirt; hands, arms scarred from burns, dirt 

beneath fingernails and mucus covered shirt 

sleeves; teeth covered black with soot and noses 

and eyes tearing and running. 

Ihad a partner who was a girl-no-female-nolady-no 

somebody of the opposite sex than me, I 

think. She was fat, her breasts hung down to her 

stomach and she had short black hair which was 

plastered to her forehead and stuck out beneath 

the blue plastic hard hat. Her glasses were thick 

and glossy and her eyes looked tiny and 

insignificant compared to the rest of her body. 

Her blue demins were cut short in the fifty's style 

with white socks showing bright against her 

heavy brown work boots. The slacks were tight 

across her midriff and her thighs. She had arms 

the size of my legs and legs the size of my entire 

body. 

I tried talking to her. All I got out of her was: 

"Goddamn machine. Mike kshydg mjnski 

mjnsgbhy lmkooist. Goddamn machine mjndg," 

and she pointed to the floor. So I looked at the 

floor find said. "What did you say?" "Ighbsh 

njdjigrbcm lkmcjnvh njmxbrg SHIT mcnhcbog 

mjr nh GODDAMN MACHINK hncbgvbvdf bennvjm 

HASTARD imbbb nbvg mkji." I said, 

•RuhIIv?" and I walked away. I walked away 

SORORITIES 

Sigma Chi Nu 

Sigma Chi Nu opened their house to a "flurry" 

of paint fumes and strangely spotched paint 

clothes. The pounding from upstairs was not 

someone's enthusiastic attempt to keep beat with 

the music but rather our "interior decorators," 

(alias our sisters), hanging a picture or installing 

a shelf. 

We started things off with a rally at ZBT and a 

mixer with Kappa Psi. A date to remember is 

Friday, Sept. 21 at 4:00 when Sigma invites all 

freshman and transfers to its house on Sayles 

Street, (across from OZ) for its annual freshman 

mixer. There'll be beer on tap and people to talk 

to. Come and meet Sigma and see our house. 

With Homecoming only a few weeks away, 

slogans for our homecoming football sign have 

been flying back and forth, and we've all 

discovered how good we are at coming up with 

insane but unusable "catchy phrases." But, the 

sign will get built. Speaking of "built", our 

Homecoming Queen candidate is Pat Downing, a 

senior, just one of the attributes of our house and 

also our president! 

Theta Theta Chi 

Although during the summer every sister had a 

life so different than that at Alfred, once back in 

the red house on the hill things returned to 

normal at a remarkable pace. We at Theta Theta 

Chi, Alfred's oldest sorority, have started our 

53rd year off with an optimistic attitude. Our 23 

sisters celebrated their return with a homemade 

spaghetti dinner and a girls night out on Sept. 7th. 

The spirit of friendship grew when we had a 

mixer with Delta Sigma Phi on Wed., Sept. 12. 

The weekends at our house are filled with chaos 

and laughter while reliving and sharing the 

events and disasters of the week with our 7 offcampus 

nurses and alumni. We girls are looking 

forward to meeting new students at Alfred at an 

open house for women on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 

9:00 p.m. We hope this year everyone will come 

to experience what our sisters feel when they 

speak of Theta Theta Chi. 

FRATERNITIES 

Delta Sigma Phi 

The brothers of Delta Sigma Phi enjoyed a 

party Saturday night after a heartbreaking loss to 

Bridgeport. The new social chairman, John 

Ellithorpe, did an excellent job. Many alumni 

came back to see the game of the year. Dr. D. J. 

Lightweis upheld the Delta Sigma tradition by 

testing out a new drunk at the game. The only 

problem was that Dr. DJ got to the game one and 

one-half hours early and never saw the kickoff. 

alot. I walked out of the door and threw my 

gloves into the garbage pail, wiped my face and 

walked down the street and into my car and I 

pulled out of the parking lot and waved good bye 

to the foundry. 

One thing I am quite sure of when I graduate 

this June. I look over my shoulder and I look at 

that blue hard hat on my wall. Yes, I am quite 

sure. Quite sure. 

August 1973 

ATTENTION: 

It is with extreme displeasure that the 

kanakadea announces the cancellation of its 

1973 yearbook supplement., This has been 

necessitated by a printer's price increase which 

makes such a publication economically unfeasible. 

If you have prepaid for a supplement, you 

may pick up a refund at the kanakadea office 

starting October 1st. 

Thank You 

The 1973 kanakadea Stall 

Defensive tackle Jim Hangerford played an 

excellent game in the afternoon, but had a 

problem playing the sock game with Cathy at the 

party. 

The brothers are looking forward to a big score 

at Brockport this weekend, that includes 

offensive guard Joe Morino, and defensive 

standout Jim Bassage who will be trying to 

intercept a pass and score a touchdown for 

Denise from Brick 313. 

Also, congrats to the soccer team. They had a 

big win on Friday. 

Kappa Psi 

The brothers of Kappa Psi Upsilon returned to 

their "house on the hill" amidst a barrage of 

rockets, remodeling, and social activities. Denny 

and Smaves were testing the feasibility of using ^ 

an XZ Saturn V rocket for putting Molly into orbit, 

while the guys in the "Pig Pen" were testing 

things out on another front. Just ask any of the 

girls from Schultz Hall and Sigma Chi Nu who 

were at the mixers on Wed. and Fri. 

Maryann Morfesi, Kappa Psi's nomination for 

Homecoming Queen, was noticeably absent from 

the first Saturday night party which featured the 

"Rasmutins". Many alumni returned for the 

weekend activities but many never saw the clock 

strike 12. The partying was just too much. 

Looking ahead, Kappa Psi will be having its 

"Fall Beef Roast" on Sat., Sept. 29 with an 

intra-fraternity party at the Tech Lake Lodge the 

following weekend. The brothers of Kappa Psi 

would also like to extend an invitation to all to 

come up to the house after home football games 

for postgame celebration. We are located at 37 

Hillcrest Drive, just one block from Merrill Field. 

Lambda Chi Alpha 

Lambda Chi Alpha began it's social calender 

last weekend with a front porch concert after the 

football game. Beer and good conversation, 

combined with a football being thrown around, 

carried the party through dinner and into the 

stomping hours of 9-1. The band (Kahoots) played 

dynamite top 40 tunes and everyone had a blast 

meeting people and drinking. 

Tomorrow night will be LXA Saturday night at 

the movies." There will be a top notch movie with 

beer and popcorn and wall to wall matresses for 

the casual viewer. Keep your eyes on LXA for 

future functions of frolicking fun. 

The Fiat wishes to apologize for the omission of 

some of the fraternities and sororities in this 

week's paper. The fault rests solely in the 

originator of the column and will be corrected by 

next week. 

The main difference 

between a $150 abortion 

and a $1000 abortion is 

the doctor makes an 

extra $850. 

Expensive abortions are a hangover from when 

abortions were illegal. But today we can help you 

get a legal, safe—and inexpensive—abortion. By an 

M.D. in a clinic or hospital. 

If you have the abortion during the first10 

weeks of pregnancy, it will cost only about $150. And 

no matter when you have it, there's no charge for 

our service. 

We know some doctors who care more about 

people than money. 

Call us at (212) 489-7794 Monday through 

Friday, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. New York time.

Sentiments 

A Picture Worth Thousand Words 

The "hello"'s and "how was your summer"'s 

have been spread thin for days so it can be said 

that school has started again. For some it is 

college, Alfred, and for yet others it is college, 

Alfred, again. Oh well, just breathe in that pure 

pine air and forget the rest. 

Given this splendid opportunity to engage your 

attention in this plot of paper I would like to wish 

everyone a happy and rewarding year. But, 

perhaps this is, like many other goals, just a 

"noble dream." We live in a society that is being 

continually bombarded by new binding and 

over-reactionary legislation and the current 

polemic existing in every phase of our society is 

-highly charged with confusion. We are asked to 

f understand this world from the vantage point of a 

desk-chair in a four walled classroonm. 

This space, today, is dovoted to discuss the 

uneducation in our education and try to 

understand a preposterous system of "take it 

from me" learning. This system is perpetuated 

and defended by those who just don't care enough 

about tomorrow because they're so infatuated 

with yesterday. It is time that our educational 

institutions integrated themselves with the rest of 

the world for it is this world that they leave us off 

. in. 

What is called for is the conversion of the 

classroom learning situation into a living learning 

situation. For instance, why shouldn't a student 

interested in German history be sent to Germany 

to study its history which includes art, literature, 

science, philosophy, language, religion, folklore, 

etc. How can we begin to understand the history 

of a people until we begin to understand the 

l people who made it? History is something that is 

alive. Were it merely a dead stump from our 

forgotten past then the time would have long 

passed when we would no longer be either aware 

of it or interested in learning about it. History is 

not yet a dead carcass to be entombed in the 

classroom. 

Students of Shakespeare could travel to areas 

f of interest and try to relive the drama as well as 

experience the tempestuousness and plasidity of 

his love. Perhaps with new stimulus we could 

then embrace the heart and soul of literature 

rather than just read and "understand" what it 

says. 

Business schools should employ work-study 

programs which allow students to work in the 

outside world while they are at the same time 

studying. Needless to say, they could learn more 

in two weeks from working than they gain in a 

semester from yawning through dreary textbooks. 

They might then have time to take a much-needed 

} 

Ethics course or two during their learning years. 

A case for worldly experence can be made for 

every field we now study. Some fields such as 

education (which employ student teaching and 

teacher aide programs) have already tapped this 

idea to a small extent. Our Trac II program, 

hopefully, will prove a strong foundation block to 

the construction of a real education program. 

Some disciplines are more available to change 

than others but there is room to move in all of 

them, nonetheless. 

With students taking "programs of instruction" 

instead of merely classes, apathy and 

nonparticipation would be defeated by necessity. 

We will all be happier and healthier when we 

realize that school, as we now know it is little 

more than a "pressure-cooker Disneyland" and 

move one step further; to escape it. 

The classroom is not obsolete as a mode of 

learning and should continue to play a useful part 

in our education, but only as long (is it doesn't 

play the solo role.

Soccer Team Scores 

Overwhelming 

Success 

Alfred University's varsity soccer team 

overwhelmed Eisenhower's squad with a 6-3 

victory. The game was played on Friday, 

September 14 at the Eisenhower field in Seneca 

Falls. The contest, played in sub-par conditions, 

was the first of the year for both teams. 

During the first ten minutes, both teams felt 

each other out. Then gradually the Saxons took 

control and scored four times before halftime'. 

The first goal was scored by Michael Clay on a 

well placed shot into a corner of the net. Next, 

veteran inside Licio Pennisi took a perfect pass 

and converted it into Alfred's second goal and 

within three minutes freshman leftwing Randy 

Leer made it 3-0 in our favor. The fourth goal was 

scored by David Augenblick from his half back 

position. 

There were five second half goals in the game. 

The two Saxon goals were scored by senior 

captain Billy Dyshart and by Augenblick, his 

second of the game. The Alfred booters not only 

outscored Eisenhower but they outshot them by a 

29-20 margin. 

Coach Obergfell believes that this year's club is 

greatly improved over last year's. With many 

senior lettermen returning from last year's squad 

and some freshmen with great potential, he is 

hoping that Alfred University will finally be 

recognized as a soccer power. 

C. C. Team Takes Third 

The Alfred University harriers started the 

season Sept. 12 with a third place at the St. 

Bonaventure Relays. Running for A.U. in order of 

first to last were Bill Gibson, Ed Phelps, Kim 

Miller, Jay Byrne, and Dan Kahm. Each man ran 

3.8 miles one on one against the opponents. Bill 

Gibson turned in the finest time for A.U. Erie 

Tech. was overall winner in a time of 99:12 

minutes. St. Bonaventure, A.U., R.I.T., and Erie 

TechB followed in that order. The A.U. team 

finish was only 2 min. behind the leader in the 19 

mile run. Congratulations boys! 

If You Want Sports 

HELP US! 

Sports fans will notice that this week's issue of 

the Fiat Lux has almost no sports articles. This is 

due to the severe lack of people that are willing to 

spend a little time to keep this paper's readers 

informed about the activities of the athletic teams 

that represent Alfred. 

The art of writing sports isn't a difficult 

process and anyone that enjoys attending 

sporting events could master the process after a 

few short sessions of on-the-job training. The 

staff of the Fiat Lux admits that they aren't 

professional writers and they don't expect 

perfection from anyone that is willing to spend a 

few hours a week for what we think is a good 

cause. 

If anyone thinks that they can spare the time, 

their assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

Just stop by the office in the Campus Center or 

call 2192. We will be more than happy to have 

you help us.
