The purposeof Dr. Gallagher's speech wasto spur on the Campus ChestDrive, of which WUS will be oneof the beneficiaries.The speaker began, "There isa cleavage in Western civilizationwhich must be healed." He thenrecounted two stories—the first ofPrometheus and the second of Adam—to illustrate this.Dr. Gallagher's interpretation ofthe Greek myth reveals that thefire which Prometheus stole fromthe gods and gave to man is reallythe "whole of art and scienceand civilization." Zeus thought,"What will man do with this newpower? ... He will become independentof the gods." He then condemnedPrometheus to everlastingpunishment. According to Dr. Gallagher,it then followed that,"Knowledge is power whi-ch comesto man only at a great price; thatprice is eternal agony."The speaker's story of Adamtold that "Man is created in perfectionand placed in paradisewith dominion over all. He needonly use it wisely; but he didn't."Thus, the Scriptures showed men'sredemption through suffering.From this Dr. Gallagher concludedthat "Without righteousness thereis agony of the eternal."He then related these two stories.'Today man holds cosmic energyin his hands . . . What willAdam do with this energy? . . .This power can be used for ethicalpurposes and righteousness (whichis) the right relationships betweenpeople.". "The purpose of WUS is to makesure'that promethean power is unleashedfor good relations. Its mottois 'Help for Self-Kelp.' . . .Idealism and conviction are necessary.Now we are only sitting ona volcano and waiting for it toerupt.Dr. Gallagher concluded, "There !is a cleavage in our civilizationwhich must be healed. One waywe can work at that problem isthrough World <strong>University</strong> Service."Architectural Rendition of Science BuildingDirectly across from Binns-Merrill Hail work is steadily progressing on <strong>Alfred</strong>'s new science building.The brick three-story structure is expected to be rady for occupancy by' October, 1957. The first floorwill be enclosed by December 15, in order to avoid any damage to the interior by weather conditions.As a result of the steel strike this summer, not enough structural materials are available. Therefore,•construction will be halted until the rest of the steel can be delivered In the spring.This building, which will house the Departments of Chemistry and Geology and the School of Nursing,will contain nine, student laboratories, research laboratories for faculty use, a central lecture room«eating 250, and six additional classrooms^ Allen Lab, now occupied by the Departments of Chemistryand Biology, will be converted for the sole use of the Department of Biology.L. C. Whitford and Company of Wellsvllle is the construction contractor and Carl C. Ade, the designerof other buildings for the <strong>University</strong>, is the architect for the new building.According to Edward K. Lebohner, treasurer and business manager of <strong>Alfred</strong>, the building when fully«quipped will cost approximately $620,000.From the Editor . . .Moral Responsibility . ..The world has been jolted these past weeks by the boldand devastating strokes of peoples willing to set down theirlives for the ideals they believe in.Many students of our age and even younger marched outin Hungary last week to revolt against oppression and werecut to ribbons. This caused only a slight wave of sentiment at<strong>Alfred</strong>, but when the Israeli conflict suggested an involvementof American troops, the student reaction was more pronounced.We are afflicted by a disease that in time will eat awaythose ideals that we have so comfortably inherited and complacentlyaccepted. The' disease "self" is most readily recognizableby an overly-round bottom and by a head that whenmoved to extreme left or right does nothing but rattle.Our state department spends millions of dollars each yearon projects like the Voice of America. These projects are expresslydesigned to penetrate the Iron Curtain; but when aspirited, freedom-loving people do react, we turn our backsupon them and pathetically yawn and make some world-shatteringstatement about the weather.The important question is one of moral responsibility. Dowe have the right to incite these people to act for the cause offreedom only to let them down when they most need us?To become a shadowless people that do nothing but sitround-bottomed in the light of the deeds of these patriots willinevitably lead us down the same road that led to the bloodbaths of World War I and II.However, unless we recognize our responsibility now, thisis just what will happen; incident upon incident will occur,and as a nation we will not react until there remains no othersolution but WAR./At this time we will run true to form andrise to a fever pitch. There will be wild shouting, and suchunsophisticated terms as liberty, patriotism and freedom willbe on everyone's lips. Someone might even coin a new phrase,a battle cry; or, they might just rework one of the old ones: IFight for Mom's Apple Pie, Peace In Our Time, One World orNone, the War to Make the World Safe for Democracy, This Isthe War to End All Wars.You are going to be asked this week to contribute to theEmergency Appeal for the Hungarian People, and when you are,try to remember these words, the last to be heard from theHungarian Freedom Station Sunday, November 4: . . Ourship is sinking; the light vanishes; the shadows grow darkerfrom hour to hour. Listen to our cry. Start moving. Extend tous a brotherly hand . . . God be with you and us J"Buffalo Incident. . .Let us be principled for a moment, if we may, and expressa few words on the Buffalo paint-up caper. As of today, thesedesecrators of architectural unity have not been found. We shallnot delve into the aspects, pro or con, of such spirited gesturesexcept to say that they generally. . .Tonight the Student Senate will decide whether the campuswill confess to an act that reeks of mass guilt and be assessedby the Senate for damage/done to the Buffalo campus,or whether the students will throw the issue back to the <strong>University</strong>and await an administrative decision. The Administrationhas said that they will assume responsibility for paymentof damages to the. Buffalo campus. Mr. Porter, your StudentSenate president, felt that this was a problem for the students.Mr. Porter should be commended for this stand, but he is undoubtedlyin the midst of an awkward situation. It has beenassumed that this defacing was done only by <strong>Alfred</strong> students;to date, there is no proof. Even if we assume that this dastardlydeed was committed by a few overly-spirited students, wecannot see how the guilt for this action can be affixed to theentire student, body.Most of the houses have already voted; this vote does notinclude independents not living in fraternity or universityhousing. It has also come to our attention that a rather erroneouspicture was presented in some residences. The <strong>University</strong> hasnot made any official statement as to what action they wouldtake if the proposal were defeated in the Senate.The only just solution would be, not a senatorial vote but anall-campus vote. This is the only proper method of determiningwhether or not every student on campus wishes to assume theburden of guilt. The vote would have to be unanimous. If itwere not, then student contributions should be attemtped. Anymoney derived from these subscriptions should be turned overto the <strong>University</strong>; any deficit should be made up by the <strong>University</strong>.

Themeeting, presided over by Dr. Bernstein,began at 2:30 in HowellRail."The Breakdown of Isolation andIts Effects on American Life" wasthe general theme. The main paper."Some Observations on Conformityin the U. S„" was givenby Donald McCoi of State <strong>University</strong>Teachers College of Cortland.He stressed that non-conformityin the nation's past has been incorrectlyevaluated by those whoyearn for the independence whichthey felt characterized the "goodold days." He pointed out that thenon-conformity today is more frequentthan in the past because oursociety allows for more deviantactivity than ever before. On theother hand however, Mr. McCoithinks that it is important for usto' realize that we live in a societyin which cooperation is necessaryto achieve social dividends.Other commentators spoke onvarious subjects, including society,politics, industrial relations andliterature, in connection with conformity.Speakers included ThomasLuckmann of Hobart, SeymourMann of Harpur, Harry Behler ofColgate, and Harold Blodgett ofUnion. After these comments,members of the audience gave theiropinions on the topic. These aresome of the ideas that were discussed:conformity may lead to agarrison state aud authoritarianismin the future; we should have agreater fear of conformity than thepeople of past times because of theincreasing dimensions of conformitytoday; conformity contributesto the shaping of a happy, welladjusted individual; and we neednot fear it nor think of it as somethingwrong.An annual business meeting followedthis presentation.At 6:30, Dr. Clinton Rossiter ofCornell, president of the association,took charge of the dinnermeeting. Arnold Herstand of Colgatepresented an illustrated addressentitled "The AmericanPainter in the Age of Conformity."An informal discussion ended themeeting.Three representatives of the Collegeof Ceramics delivered talksat the fall meeting of the basicscience division of the AmericanCeramic Society this week atClemson, S.

The consensus ofopinion of each Individual groupwas then presented to the entireassemblage. In this manner, thedelegates from the various collegesevaluated and exchanged information which would enable them toassist in setting up the type oleadership training programsuited to their campus.bestFirst on the program, in orderto ascertain what specifically constitutedstudent leadership, was aconsideration of the necessary"know hows," that is, self job andpeople. The importance of a leader's self confidence was stressedIt was also decided that a definitebelief in his opinions is necessary,but he should realize thevalue of compromise and the blendof the ideal and practical, if hisgroup is to function efficiently. Thefunction, limitation^, duties andobligations of the leader's job mustbe clearly understood by him.Working with a keen sense of organization,the group's goal shouldalways be kept in mind, and a jobonce started should be concluded.Third "Know how" area concernsan awareness of the "pulse"of the student body. Good public relationsis one of the most essentialtools of any effective leader.The next topic under considerationwas the value of group dynamics.Dr. Van Cleve, professor atthe New York State College forTeachers at Albany, spoke brieflyon the various methods and meansSHOEREPAIRSERVICETHEKAMPUS KAVEhas the Shoe Repairagency for theJ.

It wasagreed that for maximum effectiveness,eacn or tnese methods shouldbe used at its mosts opportunetime and chosen with great care.They contribute to the disclosureof information which is not gener«ally available and allow for thecrystallizationof ideas.
