Vanech States Progress<br />
In Proposals for 1 Rights'<br />
Bill Vanech, Student Senate power of recommendation to the<br />
(President, announced at last president.<br />
week's meeting that he is pleased Vanech also gave to the com<br />

personnel committee regarding<br />
the three proposals prepared hy<br />
the student rights committee.<br />
These proposals, that upper division<br />

The committee composed of administration,<br />
faculty, and students<br />
met before Thanksgiving<br />

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 />

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 />
•accusations.<br />

newspaper, joined in the<br />
condemnation of the opposition's<br />

Feiffer Vignettes<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 />
•work, who wants what Dave has,<br />
yet wfho would never be what<br />
Lot « 'Qottin Oajmpbell ,the intellectual<br />
outsider, who never gets<br />
anywhere because he is incapable<br />
of action; Mal-ion Morrris, the<br />
Bounding board for other people's<br />
lives.<br />
(Also Myrnia Ottaiwlaiy, the artistic<br />
chick wiho ilivels in the<br />

'giaaima "bitter insights,"<br />
arid fc©jn no longer ifeucte the<br />

cartoon-like sets. Howard Sdhnabolk's<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 />

Rabbi Malino Answers Questions<br />
About Role of Hillel for Students<br />
"Jews should get together as<br />

held student freedoms. In<br />
(answer to the question the Rabbi<br />
discussed Hillel's role in college<br />
lite and the role of Jewish groups<br />
in general.<br />
According to Rabbi Malino, Hillel<br />
is an imtegralp art of t)he college<br />
experience. Hillel, besides<br />
¡holding religious services', provides<br />
an opportunity for the questioning<br />
process that should take<br />

their religion on a higher level<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 />
changing world."<br />
The petition was made public<br />
here by Dr. Thomas I. Emerson,<br />
professor of .laiw iait Yale <strong>University</strong>,<br />
and Dr. Alexander Meilcle-<br />
John, winner of the Presidential<br />
Medal of Freedom. They sponsored<br />

Eighty-eight other authorities<br />

twelve sponsors as petitioners to<br />
the Congress.<br />
Prof. Emerson said the petition<br />
has been presented to House<br />
Speaker John W. McCoricack (D.<br />
Mass.) and thait copies are being<br />
sent to all Members of the next<br />
Congress:<br />
The petitioners ask that the<br />
House refuse to continue HUAC as<br />
a standing committee when Congress<br />
convenes Jan. 4. At that<br />
time, when the new House rules<br />
are considered, HUAC can be<br />
abolished.<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 />
400 sctoooJs.<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 />

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 />
