Dr. J. Dillenberger Says That
Religion Has A Cultural Form
Dr. John Dillenberger, professor
of historic and systematic theology
at Drew University, was the
guest speaker at the assembly held
Thursday, March 23, as part of
Religion in Life Week.
Dr. IJillenberger spoke on "Reconceiving
Theological (Foundations."
He stated that the problem
of religion today is that it
has taken on a cultural form and
the mind has been lost. Now religious
thinking is prompted by the
heart, not the head.
Today to be identified "with one
of the three major western religions—'Catholicism,
Judaism, or
Protestantism — is synonomous
with American life. Once, when
the New World was being colonized,
the American dream was to
Teaching Machine
Is Seminar Project
Dr. John W. Blyth, Chairman of
the Department of Philosophy and
Religion at Hamilton College and
Director of the Ford Foundationsponsored
Teaching Machine Project
at Hamilton, met with members
of the Alfred University faculty
Thursday and Friday to describe
the Teaching Machine Project.
Dr. Blyth spoke before the faculty
and then held demonstrations
with small groups of them.
1 The Teaching Machinp, an outgrowth
of the psychological study
of learning, enables students to
work alone with the machiné, which
will tell them whether they are
right or wrong at that moment.

its use in teaching mathematics,
logic, psychology, and foreign languages.
carve out a nation under God, a
religious experiment free from the
problems of Europe. Soon, however,
this dream was lost and had to
be replaced by a hope to win the
nation to God.
Or. Dillenberger stated that nowadays
our country believes that
every time she changes her foreign
policy, God approves. Europe
does not objcet to these changes,
but to the fact that the U.S. believes
that God Is aliwlays behind
her.
When the western world became
secularist, the dimensions essential
to religious thinking evaporated
and disappeared. Later people
began to understand religion
because of the impact of new philosophy
and science. The new science
contained a (belief in God.
The new scientists suggested that
perhaps their new creations were
better minifestations of God than
the former religious dimensions
and traditions.
Dr. Dillenberger stated that suffering
is the way by which man
discovers 'God. Suffering is manifest
in Christianity through Jesus
Christ. He 'believes that suffering
is a great thmg, but it Is not necessarily
Christian.
Suffering is not a virtue In itself,
but the mystery of existence
under God. Through suffering, life
in this world finds meaning, joy,
and significance where it 1b least
expected. Some people try to find
an alternative to suffering, but
there is none.
Dr. Dillenberger concluded by affirming
his belief that the world
is a place whi^h is safely in the
hands of 'God who! has shown his
redemptive presence.

From The Editor. •.
Four Years Isn't a Day...
This, as riiany of you may or may not be aware is the final
issue of the FIAT under the present editorial board. It seems
therefore, appropriate to "wish a fond farewell," leave the campus
with a few last "gems of wisdom," etc.
At this time however, it is actually difficult to know what
to say. It is, perhaps, a bit early to be overcome with senior
nostalgia at leaving Alfred. At the same time the many "gripes"
which may or may not have been enumerated in this column at
a previous date seem trite.
Upon reflection there seems to be one main thought which
I think any senior would like to leave with underclassmen who
are planning to spend one or several more years at Alfred. It's
a very old thought, and one which is expressed in an equally
old cliche — "Rome wasn't Built in a Day."
During the last four years, there have been many areas in
which the students, and the administration as well, have sought
improvement or alteration ... the building program, liberalisation
of social rulings for both men ánd women, the academic"
honor system, and the "pet peeve" of the FIAT, lack of common-,
ieation between the administration and the students. In all these
areas there is still a lacking, However, those who have served
on various Committees conected with WSG, the Senate, The
Student Affairs Committee, and others can tell you that actual
progress has been made — some visible but, much in the realm
of diplomatic negociation or ground work which will never besome
tangible until there is an actual ruling in the area.
The laying of this groundwork is never; fun. It does not
involve screaming, shouting, or drastic action. It involves rather,
long meetings at inconvenient hours, running from office to
office in Green Hall, and generally becoming involved with red
tape, that at the time may appear to be utterly useless.
The proposition on apartment privileges which may appear
to have been lost in committee, is rather awaiting it's time
to step into being as part of a total academic and social honor
system. The people who spent their time formulating the details
of this plan, wiH not be in Alfred to appreciate outcome, but
those in future years will.
The apartment proposition is just one example of many
that could be mentioned. I believe that you must always keep
the aforementione^kcliche in mind, but also add to it. "Rome
wasn't Built in a D/, but it will NEVER be built if you stop
trying!"

is now an Honor System.' Obey its
principles." Such a system must
be instituted gradually.
My proposal Is that: Commencing
in September, >1961, a modified
honor system be adopted for the
freshman class. Proctors will remain
in the classroom during
tests. However, every student will
be morally obligated to refrain
from cheating and to report any
cheating he observes.
Any student wishing to make a
report may present the facts to a
special committee composed of the
Personnel Deans, the Registrar
and five students (three senior»
and two juniors). This committee
will review the facts, question
the accused and make recommendations
to the appropriate faculty
committee or ipass judgment as is
deemed within its rights.
This system will continue for
a three year trial period. (OEfech
entering class will he bound by
the rules of the system and the
Class of '65 will remiain under the
honor system.)
If the system has proved successful
it will be expanded. Over
the school year commencing in
September, 1964, the faculty members
will gradually be phased out
of the exam rooms until it is com«
mon "practice for a faculty member
to hand out an exam and leave
the classroom.
i There may be some questions
as to why we should start with
only the freshman class of '65 and
to expand to the Classes of '66,
'67, etc. There is a good reason fop
this. Once a class has entered
the school and remained for one
year or more it is extremely difficult
to orient them to such a drastically
new system.
There are also reasons for the
three year trial period. ¡First, there
is a need to evaluate the success
or failure of the system. Second,
In September, 1964 all (or most) of
the students who have not been
bound by the honor system will
have been graduated.
I submit this proposal to the
Student Senate and the student
body In the sincere hope that it
will result in a better school and
provide more mature and responsible
graduates In the future.

by BUI Stutman
Last Thursday night at the
Men's Gym, the class of '63 retained
their title in the interclass track

the score of their closest competitors.
Finishing with a total of
61% points, the sophs beat Alfred's
youngest class by 3d. points.
The Juniors had 20 points, while
the seniors, not showing an abundance
of tla-lent or interest in the
meet, failed to score.
Sophomore Dare Henry was outstanding
as he beat junior Steve
Grossman in the 40-yard high hurdles
in the record-lbreaking time
of 5.4 seconds. In the low hurdles,
Henry came close to breaking another
meet record as he tied the
best time of 5.3 seconds.
The entire sophomore team did
& most commendable job as they
captu'red' first place in eight of the
eleven events. Bob Lewoowitz won
the mile", Jim Scott the 600 yard
run, and thé "Bobsy Twins" tied
for first in thé 1000 yard run. Leon
Bradford took first in the 35
yard -dash, - Mffite Adetoaann won
the high jump, and the relay team
of Scott, Larry Nelsen, Moose
Haight and Lewkowicz wlas victorious
in the medley event. The
depth of the saphis Was a decisive

Wouldn't it be nice, IF:
Mr. Saxon Speaks
§pe N.Y. Knickerbockers had talent.
Walter OîMalley had some money so the Dodgers wouldn't
have had to leave Brooklyn.
District Attorney Frank Hogan would receive the political
position he must dearly crave so then maybe the fix would be
handled without sensationalism.
A.U. would build a field house.
The Yankees would finish 7th and Gasey Stengel would be
re-hired. <
Ingemar J ohannson wou^d retire before he gets pounded
into oblivion.
Baseball would , stop- expanding so that the game may remain
our nationl pastime; the way things are going the next
frnchisè will be the Scio Rockets.> u ; . L
Bookmakers would drown in cement.
The FoOtbaill Saxons would go undeated.
Sportscâster Harry Wismer would get larengitis.
The New York Rangers could make the playoffs.
Harry Wismer would lose all his money so that he could no
longer monopolize his radio station, the New York Titans, and
his television station.
Jimmy Powers would go into public relations.
John Thomas would regain his confidence and once again
become the world's greatest high jumper.
The U.S. could win the Davis Cup for more than one year
in a row.
Tournament Results
Well, it finally happened! Ohio
State riding on a 32 game winning
streak into the final game' of the

four overtimes.
The Providence Friars downed
a determined St. Louis club by 3
