Editorial...<br />

The fact that Senate President Bill Vanech was able to<br />

report an initial reaction of open-mindedness in the personnel<br />

committee augers well for the possible realization before the<br />

end of the presenlt school year of some of the proposals already<br />

made regarding student rights. This is not to suggest<br />

that the committee has in any way made a commitment or is<br />

near making a recommendation to the Board of Trustees.<br />

On the contrary the committee plans an extensive inquiry<br />

into the question of student freedoms. We welcome this probing<br />

and believe thart open-mindedness combined with a complete<br />

and fair investigation by the committee will certainly<br />

result in some changes in the <strong>University</strong> social regulations.<br />

We believe this because we are convinced of the justified nature<br />

of the three proposals that h(ave been presented to the<br />

committee. It is inconceivable that the topics which Vanech has<br />

brought before the committee could find rejection among a<br />

group of responsible educators. The students are fortunate in<br />

having such people on the committee and we appreciate their<br />

presence and their interest.<br />

While optimistic we are certainly aware of the many time<br />

consuming problems involved in such an enterprise. We know<br />

that the process which should lead to a revision in the Univerisity<br />

regulations is a long one, and we know that the personnel<br />

committee will properly have to take some time to thoroughly<br />

delve into the complex area of student freedoms. We are<br />

willing to wait with patience and understand the necessity<br />

of the current suspension of large student rights meetings so<br />

as to allow the committee a reasonable atmosphere in which<br />

to work.<br />

'<br />

Yet we hope that the committee will be able to work as<br />

quickly as possible and avoid unnecessary delays in its work.<br />

The question of student freedoms is an important one to the<br />

educational process and any undue delay in the achievement<br />

of the reasonable ideas proposed by the students would further<br />

lessen the value of an <strong>Alfred</strong> education.<br />

# • * #<br />

It is fortunate that Steve Skeates and the executive council<br />

were able Ito achieve an amicable solution to the problem<br />

of Skeates' role on the Senate. This will make it easier for the<br />

Senate and President Vanech to work -on such problems as<br />

constitutional revision and an independent men's council, both<br />

of which require action. We hope to see the committees which<br />

are working in these areas produce outlines of their recommendations<br />

in the near future for consideration by the Senate.<br />

In fairness the FIAT LUX must acknowledge that in some<br />

manner we contributed to the confusion and misunderstand,<br />

ing regarding the Skeates case. Simply, a misunderstanding<br />

concerning the release date for some material caused the lead<br />

story in the last issue to be printed at an inopportune time.<br />

We are satisfied that this error did not cause any problem beyond<br />

the silliness of an hour at the last Senate meeting prior<br />

to vacation.<br />

If the poor timing in the printing of that story was a reason<br />

for the ludicrous Se.nate meelting it did not require that<br />

reaction on the part of the Senate. That meeting was a terrible<br />

example of student government ándito place the blame on<br />

the Fiat article is to make a weak and foolish excuse.<br />

The problem regarding Skeates' role on the Senate was, as<br />

we pointed out in an editorial six weeks ago, partly a consequence<br />

of the indefinite nature of the important post of stfadent<br />

affairs coordinator. We hope that the Senate will give<br />

consideration to a clarification of that position immediately,<br />

so as to render the position effective in proportion to its significance.<br />

of North Carolina voted<br />

"Yes" on the National Student Association<br />

by a 2,966 to 2,471 margin<br />

in a campus-wide referendum<br />

last week.<br />

The favorable verdict for NSA<br />

ended a bitter two-week campaign<br />

that pitted Student Body President<br />

Bob Spearman's "Carolina<br />

Students for USNSA" against a<br />

well-organized 'anti-NSA group led<br />

by Bayard Harris and Nelson<br />

iSchwab, two members of the Men's<br />

Honor Council.<br />

The campaign erupted into a<br />

fight on itihe floor of the Student<br />

Legislature when a bill was introduced<br />

to condemn the ant'-NiSA<br />

group for distributing "distorted"<br />

lliterature and making personal<br />

¡attacks upon student leaders. The<br />

bill was later passed after fceing<br />

amended in order to censure unfair<br />

tactics in general.<br />

Later, ¡Spearman publicly blasted<br />

NSA's opponents for distortions<br />

and personal attacks and<br />

Depict Life Today<br />

by Marge Reiner<br />

"I'm Sorry. I Seem to Have<br />

Forgotten Your Name," a collection<br />

of cartoons borrowed from<br />

Julles Peiflfir w&s presented on<br />

stage Thursday by the members<br />

oi the TheeJtre (Lab class. The production<br />

gave a successful picture<br />

of modern society as viewed bv<br />

Feiffer!<br />

The actors gave excellent portrayals<br />

of, the stereotype "boys<br />

and g).Vls" Feiffer finds in today's<br />

world. The boys and girls were:<br />

Blame Zacconi, the formidable<br />

organizer who searches for her<br />

true innerself and finally discovers<br />

that it is the same as her<br />

/facade; D&vid Ball, the cool mover<br />

who can function dn modern<br />

society because he knows al! the<br />

•rules and is not afraid to be ruthless.<br />

Also iSteve .Skeates, «he loser,<br />

following rules that no longer<br />

yet wfho would never be what<br />

Lot « 'Qottin Oajmpbell ,the intellectual<br />

skillfully co-ordinated lighting,<br />

Myrna Ottaways stylized costuming<br />

and props, Marion Mcris'<br />

Im ask-like make-up, and Andre<br />

Fisher's jungle music, functioned<br />

well to accentuate the basic<br />

themes and helped to form the<br />

twenty segments into one meaningful<br />

umiit.<br />

D. J. Boggs and Steve Skeates<br />

are to be congratulated for successful<br />

revising these cartoons<br />

for the stage. And Miss Boe^s is<br />

to be especially congratulated for<br />

her highly successful first attempt<br />

at directing. Because of her handling<br />

of casting, transition, and<br />

placement, the twenty segments<br />

flowed together In such a manner<br />

•as to give tihe production a very<br />

entfoyteMe damce-liike quality.<br />

Nov< 7 "it has become apparent<br />

(that many of NSA's antagonists<br />

are willing to resort to any means<br />

no matter how low, to achieve<br />

their ends."<br />

The pajper said some of the<br />

antii-NSA materials distributed on<br />

campus had been' reprints from<br />

YAF bulletins and "Human<br />

Events".. The editorial labeled<br />

both publications "sources of oues-<br />

•tionia/Me motive ana veuiaieity."<br />

The anti-NSA attacks were centered<br />

upon the costs of belonging<br />

ito the organization, the lock of<br />

personal benefits to individual<br />

students, and the political stands<br />

taken ftn resolutions passe 1 at<br />

NBA congresses.<br />

Spearman's camp distributed<br />

materials claiming that the cost<br />

of NBA on the Carolina campus<br />

•Is approximately 13.6 cents per<br />

student, and provided speakers<br />

(from various student organizations<br />

-who told students of NSA's<br />

benefits to them.<br />

MM<br />

by Jane Pickering<br />

The pro-NSA iorces conducted<br />

a door-to-door campaign in the<br />

university's 23 precincts, and<br />

Spearman made appeals via radio<br />

spots on a Raleigh "Top 40" station<br />

on ithe day before the vote<br />

was taken.<br />

Spearman called the result a<br />

"vote of confidence for student<br />

government and for NSA." The<br />

turnout of over 5,400 was the<br />

¡largest in the history of the<br />

school for a campus-wde election.<br />

Nationally, NISA affiliations are<br />

running slightly behind disaffiliations<br />

so far this year. The<br />

school association bias affiliated<br />

four schools so far, including Colgate,<br />

and lost at least six, 'Deluding<br />

the <strong>University</strong> of Baltimore<br />

and tlbe <strong>University</strong> of Rhoda Island.<br />

In addition the Association<br />

learned that two or three schools<br />

on its membership lists had disaffiliated<br />

(IJast year but never<br />

bothered to tell amylbody about it.<br />

"We, the members of the national union of students of<br />

the United States desiring<br />

to maintain academic freedom, academic responsibility<br />

and student rights;<br />

to Stimulate and improve democratic student government;<br />

to improve student cultural, social, and physical welfare<br />

., .<br />

do hereby establish this Constitution of the United States<br />

National Association."<br />

Thus the preamble Or perhaps even more correct, the<br />

creed of NSA. It is an organization run by students and concerned<br />

with student life in all its various ramifications. Interestingly,<br />

many colleges regarded as more liberal than <strong>Alfred</strong><br />

are affiliated. This fact should be considered if the Student<br />

Senate and the students in particular desire a more respected<br />

position on campus, as witnessed by the current controversy<br />

over student rights. For NSA, /although it has modified its<br />

stance somewhat, is still a liberal organization and its policies<br />

and declarations support and emphasize its position.<br />

These liberal tendencies were one of <strong>Alfred</strong>'s main objections<br />

to NSA when it departed two years ago. Some students<br />

^elt that it was unfair to associate the conservatives on campus<br />

with the organization's, distinctly non-eonservative attitudes.<br />

Perhaps this was a valid arguement once, but with student<br />

concern just recently focused on "student rights" and a general<br />

trend toward more freedom and greater reform, the<br />

conservative faction seems to be a definite minority.<br />

The resolutions and declarations of NSA, contained in<br />

ia booklet which covers every area of student and administration<br />

relationships, as well as national and international<br />

affairs, are not stringent and enforced rules and policies<br />

which the students must support and adhere to. They are<br />

instead suggestions which the school can elect to support<br />

or disregard.<br />

If the college does indicate that' it wishes to follow a<br />

certain suggertion, NSA will send pertinent information<br />

and plans for carrrying out the program to the member<br />

school. Many of the ideas that the student rights committee<br />

has presented concerning academic and social freedom o,nd<br />

the doctrine of "in loco parentis" are from NSA headquarters<br />

and its varirus statements of policy.<br />

The Senate has received numerous reports from NSA<br />

offices and just last week four members of the Senate attended<br />

an NSA meeting, even though <strong>Alfred</strong> has not yet reaffiliated.<br />

We seem to be reaping all the benefits of the organization<br />

without actually having membership, a practice which definitely<br />

seems unfair to NSA. The Senate should either reaffiliate<br />

or discontinue asking for information<br />

NSA offers assistance not only concerning student philosophy<br />

but also regarding speakers and travel. It will send<br />

someone to a college to discuss world affairs or student<br />

body problems. As far as travel is concerned, students whose<br />

schools belong to the organization can tour Europe and<br />

receive substantial discounts.<br />

<strong>Alfred</strong>'s «affiliation with NSA is an opportunity for the<br />

students to widen their perspective, a process of beneficial<br />

value.


Students Protest Many Issues,<br />

Demonstrating for Privileges<br />

(CPS)—This is fast shaping up<br />

to >be the year of the student<br />

protest at the nation's colleges<br />

and un'iverslities.<br />

Students on campuses in all<br />

parts of the country have staged<br />

Na irash of demonstrations and protests<br />

on a wide array of national,<br />

(international!, and local issues,<br />

am.d no let u|p seems in sight. -<br />

Protest action has- been aimed<br />

at everything from new regulations<br />

governing the consumption<br />

of alcohol at Trinity College in<br />

Hartford, Conn., to policies restricting<br />

situdent political activities<br />

at the <strong>University</strong> of California,<br />

and almiost everything in<br />

between.<br />

At the <strong>University</strong> of Pennsylvania,<br />

several hundred students<br />

demonstrated against the construction<br />

of a new fine arts b-iildding<br />

on campus on grounds that<br />

it would destroy one of tha few<br />

tree-shaded open spots at the<br />

university.<br />

At ithe <strong>University</strong> of Texas, the<br />

cjamipus chapter of the Students<br />

(for a Democratic Society picketed<br />

against the use of Black<br />

Face |im a campus minstrel show<br />

on the grounds that it WP.S degrading<br />

to the Negro and the university's<br />

Nejgro students.<br />

Free Tuition<br />

At iCJ'fty <strong>University</strong> of New<br />

York, students organized a two<br />

month campaign favoring free tuition,<br />

and 1 worked to defeat candidates<br />

for the sibaite legislature<br />

who opposed it.<br />

At Ithe <strong>University</strong> of Michigan,<br />

a student political party staged<br />

a demonstration demanding "campus<br />

democracy now," as well as<br />

•more money for teaching, new<br />

(student housing, better facilities,<br />

(increased student wages, and a<br />

lower cost of living on' campus.<br />

Much student protest activity<br />

•has centered on civil rights. At<br />

the <strong>University</strong> of Colorado, the<br />

campus chapter of the Congress of<br />

Racial Eqiuaiity pocketed a restaurant<br />

which had refused to hire<br />

a Negro girl. The restaurant gave<br />

iher the Job wtithftn an hour after<br />

the ipdcketing began.<br />

At Bradley, the university chapter<br />

of the National Association, for<br />

the Advancement of Colored Peope<br />

hSas been trying to get a local<br />

barber to teke Negro customers.<br />

Berkeley Issue<br />

The biggest, longest and best<br />

organized of the protests however,<br />

is at the <strong>University</strong> of California<br />

at Berkeley, where hundreds<br />

of students have been contesting<br />

la ban on compus political<br />

activity since last September.<br />

'SI'.nce (it was instituted in Sept.,<br />

the 'ban, which prevents student<br />

political organizaztions from distributing<br />

literature, recruiting<br />

members, and soliciting funds in<br />

an area adjacent to the university's<br />

student union, has sparked<br />

a number of demonstratiors and<br />

protest violations, as .well as an<br />

administration threat of mass<br />

suspensions.<br />

In Loco Parentis<br />

There Ss no single reason behind<br />

all the protests, but a good<br />

many of them—especially those<br />

aimed at university administrations—have<br />

centered on the issue<br />

of "In Loco Parentis," or the<br />

question of to what extent the<br />

university can perform tihosie disciplinary<br />

functions that would<br />

normally be performed by a student's<br />

parents.<br />

The issue is central to both the<br />

Trinity and the Berkeley disputes.<br />

In both cases students ftre<br />

claiming that the university is<br />

denying item rights and privileges<br />

they would normally enjoy<br />

if tihey were not students.<br />

A second cause for protest<br />

seems to be the feeling by students<br />

that university officials are<br />

mot consulting with them on decisions<br />

affecting them. Apparently<br />

this is the main reason for<br />

t'he demonstration at Michigan,<br />

and for a demonstration at the<br />

Un/iversity of Illinois, where students<br />

are ¡protesting an administration<br />

decision to build a million<br />

dollar intramural building without<br />

soliciting student opinion on<br />

the project.<br />

Saint Nicholas Finds Serious Unrest<br />

At Workshop over Question of Rights<br />

by Saint Nicholas<br />

A recent report from Northern<br />

Artica confirms the rumors of the<br />

•unrest at the ¡M. E. Claus Univer<br />

sal workshop. A group of elves<br />

led ¡by Larry Antlerstein (under<br />

the lausipiiloes of head-elf, Bill Sandwich)<br />

have gone on strike and<br />

(have threatened to start an) ecomomic<br />

boycott of , the workshop<br />

if certain "elf-rights" are not<br />

gained.<br />

Whien asked to comment upon<br />

this situation, Patsy Ribald, the<br />

D.A.R. representative to the North<br />

Pole land member of the Elf Executive<br />

Council, replied: "It ii- the<br />

prtincip'le of the thing that<br />

courts." Schnitze Werner, another<br />

member of the Council, could not<br />

•be reached for comment.<br />

This controversy, while large,<br />

lhas mot affected certain workers<br />

at the cprporation, Happy Phinch<br />

and Miiss iHeppenataJllandsiputter,<br />

who larri in charge of getting<br />

our. children's books, have stated<br />

that their work is proceeding at<br />

a record speed. The same seems<br />

to be holding true for Bonder Mac-<br />

Kenzy, who is in charge of making<br />

dolls, and Roddydur, the wellknown<br />

sobitzophrenic latent thestbian,<br />

whi is employea as a director<br />

of certain stages of production<br />

operations.<br />

A group of elves, i involved in<br />

singing ethnic Chriistmas carols<br />

in an attempt to spread the true<br />

(spirit of 'Cbrdlistmas around the<br />

/workshop, feel that they are not<br />

directly involved in this controversy,<br />

and therefore they have<br />

refused to comment. This group<br />

includes E. G. Noggs, David and<br />

Lynn Ornament, Merry Cris, and<br />

Warren Craven.<br />

However Silver Skates, formerly<br />

of the Elf Council, and at<br />

present a member of the carolling<br />

group has stated: "It Is not the<br />

principle of the thing that<br />

counts."<br />

Howard Piaster, the spirit of<br />

Christmas, and head of elf communications,<br />

could not be reached<br />

for comment.<br />

Man Has Failed To Master Himself<br />

Despite Other Achievements: Malino<br />

"Man has 'become the master of<br />

- almost everything 'but himself,"<br />

eaid Dr. Jerome (Malino at the<br />

assembly, INov. 19. ¡Rabbi Malino,<br />

the spiritual! leader of the United<br />

Jewish Center in Danbury, Conn.,<br />

was speaking on "The Stages of<br />

Civilization."<br />

Rabbi Jerome Malino<br />

Rabbi MaJlino stated that, today,<br />

at this point in tlh-e evolution<br />

of civilization, .man must measure<br />

bis own wortih toy relating (to<br />

something beyond himself. He felt<br />

that man must not become the<br />

victim of his own "unorganized,<br />

accumulated, observed data" but<br />

rafeher he must learn to categorize<br />

and to use his knowledge.<br />

Mail,while evaluating life, must<br />

observe himself. Pointing out the<br />

importance of past knowledge in<br />

discovering one's self, Dr. 'Maino<br />

statedi "We must not discard the<br />

baby with the bath water."<br />

An important step in man's<br />

self-evaluation lis the realization<br />

"that he matters to God and is<br />

not merely an accidental collision<br />

of atoms*," said Rabbi Malino.<br />

Man must develop "an at-homeness<br />

with others In this world."<br />

The development of civilization<br />

was divided 'by Rabbi Malino into<br />

two stages: the ©criptural<br />

stage and the stage of reason.<br />

Dr. Malino recognized the Scriptural<br />

stage as a time when all<br />

knowledge was considered a direct<br />

result of God's Revelation.<br />

The individual was secure with<br />

his life controlled by God's Word<br />

and the clergy. In the stage of<br />

reason. Rabbi Malino observed an<br />

attack on the Scriptures, through,<br />

pragmatic observation. With increased<br />

reliance on science, man<br />

became the melasure of all things<br />

during this period.<br />

The controversy between religion<br />

and science, which still<br />

exists today, was noted (by Dr.<br />

Malino. He . said these two factors<br />

must bs- united to insure for<br />

man a ful life. A group dedicated<br />

Jews' innocence. The Rabbi said<br />

the supposed gulilt of the Jews is<br />

irrecoincilalblje with the Catholic<br />

dogma of the necssary sacrifice<br />

of Christ.<br />

Rabbi Malino spoke on the question<br />

of whetlhier colleges are now<br />

adolpiting an intolerant attitude<br />

toward Judaism anid olther religions.<br />

He specifically commented<br />

on some colleges' scheduling registration<br />

on Jwish religious holidays.<br />

The Rajbbi - . said that the coincidence<br />

of rteligiaus holidays and<br />

registration was unavoidable because<br />

of colleges' and Judaism's<br />

use of different calendars. Rabbi<br />

Mlalino felt that Jewish students<br />

who wanted to worship on these<br />

days could register on a later<br />

dalte, and pay late<br />

fees if necessary.<br />

Constitutional Law Authorities<br />

Petition for HUAC Abolishment<br />

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — One<br />

•hundred constitutional law authorities<br />

have petitioned the<br />

House of Representatives to abo".<br />

teh the Committee on Un-American<br />

Activities (HUAC).<br />

They charge that the exi-itence<br />

of the Committee ''is irreconcilable<br />

with a system of free expression<br />

in this country." The<br />

professors, law school deans, and<br />

lay authorities declare .that HU<br />

ACs aotivitiea have hindered new<br />

ideas and new approaches to problems<br />

"which face us in a rapidly<br />

has been presented to House<br />

Speaker John W. McCoricack (D.<br />

sent to all Members of the next<br />

Congress:<br />

The petitioners ask that the<br />

House refuse to continue HUAC as<br />

convenes Jan. 4. At that<br />

time, when the new House rules<br />

are considered, HUAC can be<br />

Congo Rescue Mission and Slaughters<br />

Cause Strong World-Wide Reactions<br />

by Robert Johnson<br />

The world was shocked by the<br />

stories of tortouire, imurder, and<br />

slaughter that oocured in the<br />

Oongo last week. The western<br />

world, moreover, wias even more<br />

agihasit to (the reaction of many<br />

Asian and Afirioan -nations toward<br />

the joint U.S.-'Beligian-'Britiah rescue<br />

operation.<br />

The communist reaction, even<br />

though more violent than usual,<br />

was expected. The .Soviet government<br />

declared itihat the rescue<br />

operation was only an excuse for<br />

intervention against the struggle<br />

of the Congolese people and flhe<br />

Red 'Chinese iheld a massive anti-<br />

American demonstration. The rescue<br />

operation is a good piece of<br />

propaganda (for 'the iqomimunists.<br />

But ithe West was atairtled by<br />

the attadks of tlhe unaligned nations.<br />

The West was du/miMounded<br />

iby Ben Bella's promise to<br />

send arms and volunteers to the<br />

rebels, and -by the violent demonstrations<br />

outside UJS., Belgian,<br />

and British emlbassies in neutral<br />

countries.<br />

The Organization of African<br />

Unity even wont so ifiar as to<br />

hariil the rebels as 'freedom fighters"<br />

and -to •condemn Tahomlbe<br />

as a "Western stooge." How<br />

could anyone stand in tlhe presence<br />

of such «laughter and condemn<br />

the inteirvention of the Went<br />

to save their own citizens?<br />

These non^wihites are not -barbarians.<br />

They certainly do not believe<br />

in the wholesale murder of<br />

the white ,'populations of their respective<br />

states.<br />

Indeed, the Congolese rebeU<br />

had no original intent murdering<br />

whites; they only held them as<br />

hostages against the further advance<br />

of the .Congolese troops.<br />

Their intent wias not to massocre<br />

whites, nor is it the intent of any<br />

nonKwhite aaiDson >m massacre<br />

whites.<br />

The Germain newspaper Stadzeiger<br />

pin-pointed the problem<br />

when it recently wrote "that one<br />

gets the feeling ithat this is an<br />

exclusively w!hite action on a<br />

black continent." The non-white<br />

nations resented the attack of<br />

the white 'world on the non-^hite<br />

world.<br />

'The O.A.U. only 'called tlhe rebels<br />

freedom tightens because the<br />

rebels were an 'exclusively non-<br />

White force fighting against another<br />

non-white .force ithait was led<br />

by white .mercenaries and aided<br />

by 'wihite paratroopers. The<br />

whites protested the massacre of<br />

Whites by' non-wthnteis. The nonwhiite®<br />

protested the attack r>f<br />

wihites on non-wihitesj<br />

If this recent incident is<br />

viewed wth the 1 amtiwest riots in<br />

'South Yietniam, 'Painiaana, Japan,<br />

Indonesia, South America, and<br />

Asia, it Ibecomes quite evident<br />

thiat a fatal) trend is developing.<br />

Since the end of World War II<br />

there has Ibeen an ¡'increasing<br />

number of ¡protests Iby non-whites<br />

against the presence of whites in<br />

their .countries.<br />

Freshmen Explain<br />

Selection of <strong>Alfred</strong><br />

The admission® office has released<br />

the evaluation of the questionnaire<br />

which wias given to the<br />

freshmen during registration.<br />

The five primary 'reasons for<br />

which freshmen chose <strong>Alfred</strong><br />

•were: 1. the ism&ll .classes and<br />

individual attention; 2. the high,<br />

mating and standards of the <strong>University</strong>;<br />

3. itlheir Heeling thiat <strong>Alfred</strong><br />

is what a campus should be;'<br />

4. outstanding courses offered in<br />

| certain fields; and 5. the on-cam-<br />

:pus intervlewis and tours.<br />

'It was found that <strong>Alfred</strong> was<br />

the first choice of 80 per cent<br />

of the freshmen, 20 per cent applying<br />

only to <strong>Alfred</strong>. The on-<br />

.camipus interviews and tours influenced<br />

70 to 80 per cent of the<br />

This year's applications have<br />

been coming in thiree times as<br />

easily as tihe previous year. Early<br />

decision 'applicants fhlave increased<br />

50 per cenlt from tost year. A<br />

fmal decision on these applications<br />

will ibe made by the end of<br />

the mlonith anld the applications<br />

iwflil ibe notified .by earfly December.<br />

The early decision applicants<br />

'comprise less tlhan 10 per cent<br />

of the freshman ciaes.<br />

In order to promote further interest<br />

in the <strong>University</strong>, two men<br />

ifrom the ' admission® office have<br />

Ibeen conducting interviews in approximately<br />

Saxon Five at Home Tonight,<br />

After Splitting 2 Games Away<br />

by Chris Rodier<br />

The Saxons court five returns<br />

¡home tonight to play Cortland after<br />

a two game road trip.<br />

On the road the team played<br />

.500 ball. In their initial game of<br />

the season, Phil Vance and Ed<br />

Mandell led the squad to an 84-76<br />

iwin over Hobart. Gary Gross and<br />

Jo3 Drohan pulled in the rebounds<br />

for the 'Saxons. Gross<br />

snagged 14, while Drohfen «¡nar-<br />

• * 11 off the boards.<br />

The squad then traveled to Uniirer=ity<br />

of 'Rochester on Saturday<br />

night to battle with the Yellowjackets<br />

five. The outlook for this<br />

game was that according to the,<br />

experts, <strong>Alfred</strong> would be lucky to<br />

come out of the game alive. But<br />

Ed Mam dell and company made<br />

the experts eat their words.<br />

The 'Saxons scrapped and<br />

fought with the home team all<br />

thle way. The game was tied 12<br />

times, with the visitors shooting,<br />

'rebounding, and breaking as if<br />

there were no tomorrow. Mandell.<br />

inspiration, along with his shooting<br />

and rebounding, kept the<br />

Parking Regulation<br />

has announced that all<br />

Saxons in the game all the way.<br />

Mandell had n great game.<br />

Pumping in 10 buckets from the<br />

floor, he also sank 11 free throws<br />

from the foul line. Thl's put his<br />

<strong>Alfred</strong> career total at 625 points.<br />

But despite all the 'heroics by<br />

Mandell, Gross, and Drohan, U<br />

of R's 'board strength told the '<br />

tale. No matter how well a team<br />

shoots, plays on the floor,' and<br />

moves the iballll around, the team<br />

that controls the boards usually<br />

wins. The Yellowjackets picked<br />

off 20 more rebounds than the<br />

Saxons. U of R was able to lake<br />

ithe second shot while <strong>Alfred</strong> had<br />

to -make good on the first or not<br />

<br />

The final score was U of R 82,<br />

<strong>Alfred</strong> 75. From. Saturday's showing<br />

<strong>Alfred</strong> fans should be tipped<br />

off that no one is going to stomp<br />

us, and that this ijear's team is<br />

greatly improved' over last year's<br />

5-13 team.<br />

Tonight the Saxons face the<br />

visiting five of Cortland. Cortland's<br />

Head Coach Barnay Williams<br />

'brings with him a tall<br />

team. He has three men over 6-4<br />

on his roster. George Konosloi,<br />

and 'Bob Ceveliand both measure<br />

in at 6-5.<br />

Once again the Saxons will be<br />

at a height disadvantage, which<br />

wouldn't be a new role for them<br />

season. Gary Gross Joe<br />

Drohan again will have to outplay<br />

bigger men under the boards.<br />

The tip-off of the freshman<br />

game is at 6:30 while the varsity<br />

umps into action tat 8:30. Come<br />

out early and see this freshman<br />

team. They have won their first<br />

two contests, downing Hobart 76-<br />

74, and U of R 88-68. The starting<br />

five averages 6-2, and Frosh Coach<br />

Romeo is looking forward to a<br />

good season.<br />

Lincoln Presented<br />

As Free Thinker<br />

Abrahfam Lincoln is a prototype<br />

in that he understands the universal<br />

and cosmic significance of<br />

(human acts, said Rev. Mr. Kinzie<br />

ajt the religious forum of<br />

.Nov. 17.<br />

Lincoln's perceptive ability approaches<br />

religious dimensions as<br />

evidenced in. his view of the<br />

troubled decade of the Civil W|ar (<br />

Mr. Kinzie suggested. Seeing ambiguity<br />

in the war, Lincoln sought<br />

to understand the meaning of the<br />

strife. "Lincoln rose above any<br />

religious Ibias to carry Amie/rioa<br />

I'Jhrough the war toy logic."<br />

Mr. Kinzie termed Lincoln a<br />

"free thinker" who saw his own<br />

vliew of history as a religious belief,<br />

of (the arguing against the<br />

church's doctrine.<br />

"Lincoln," said Mr. Kinzie In<br />

his summary, "was a man of<br />

style," who found meaning in universale,<br />

lamd was above all concerned<br />

with the problem of doing<br />

justice Un humaliii affairs.<br />
