It featured spontaneousdiscussion of drug use byyoung members of ENCOUNTER, an organization whichhelps drug users kick the habitby teaching them to copewith their basic problems.Use of drugs is always symptomaticof an underlyingproblem. Drugs, liquor, fastcars, and running away fromhome are ways of escaping,from reality.Other reasons for takingdrugs are to be acepted by agroup, for prestige, or justiplain curiosity. Some drug userswho participate in the discussionthought the world wastoo messed up, and decided todrop out. Many of the drug usershad started because theywere afraid of other peopleand couldn't get along withthem.For a while, getting high ondrugs is fun. Then, as weakerdrugs such as marijuana losttheir thrills, the teenagersturned to stronger drugs suchas amphetamine and LSD.Eventually, however, alltheir problems were multipliedas their minds and bodies beganto break down. One boyfound himself lying across thesubway tracks.

SMITHThe accomplished MetropolitanOpera tenor, Arturo Sergi,the Alfred Cultural Everftswill be the next attraction onCalendar. Sergi will appear atAlumni Hall at 8:15 p.m. onMarch 26.With successes followinghim from the earliest time ofhis career, Sergi, althoughholding leading roles in majoropera companies, is devotinghis energies for solo concertpresentations.Presently hailed by the SaturdayReview as a "tenor ofquality," Sergi began his careerat Alfred University.But with further study atColumbia University, ManhattanSchool of Music, and theConservatorio Guiseppe Verdiat Milan, the artist naturallydeveloped his talents as a professionalmusician.When deciding to auditionfor a singing position in Europe,Sergi won a contract asleading tenor at Germany'smost dynamic opera house atHamburg. He enjoyed similaropportunities at Munich,Frankfort, and Berlin.For his 1963 debut at theMet, Sergi was cast in "BorisGodounov"; since then he hassung the title roles in "Lohengrin"and "Tannhausser."Although his voice is superbera,he excels in other dramatlyfitted for Wagnehrian op,ic operas such as "Othello"and "Cavalleria Rusticana," aswelLAside from this fame, ArturoSergi holds great popularityas a soloist with orchestraand; has traveled in this capacitywith leading symphoniesin the United States.Although his program at Alfredhas not been announcedformally, it is thought that hewill indude several Germanart songs since during thisseason he frequently has appearedin Lieder recitals givenin New York City.

Choice 68 sees Reaganas conservative's leaderIn a recent release fromChoice 68 headquarters in NewYork the element on campuseswas discussed with the followingstatements.If anyone makes a killingthrough Choice 88, the NationalCollegiate Presidential Primary,it could be the campusconservatives.Although caricatured endlesslyas dedicated young fascistsobsessed with the mirageof exterminating insidious communismand related socialistend products, the fact remainsthat as a semi-professional politicalmachine in the narrow,conventional sense of the word,the student right is unequaled.This professionalism has developed,paradoxically enough,as a result of the incrediblepublicity that student leftistshave received from the nationalpress.Their large and usually garishdemonstrations have rudelythrustf. the less flamboyantconservatives far into the background— where, in the leftistscenario, they vegetate indeserved obscurity.Right's dedicationActually, this guise of conservativeanonymity is deceiving,for the vitality of the studentright rests in its dedica-Future excursionswill be sponsoredThe "Saxon Warrior" is tryingto end the popular complaint"There's nothing to do inAlfred."

'68 edition of ^Review" Swedish film probes lonelinessreveals diverse thoughtBy LARRY S. FRIEDMANNow that the hubbub of sales' day is over and done with,the time has come to examine the validity of Miriam Hils' ratingof the Alfred Review, Miss Hils explicity stated that this magaginerates . as No. 1 among the top 41 ^¿magazines in thesouthern tier." Is the Alfred Review number one; does it exist;or better yet, would anyone dare wrap fish in; Alfred University'ssole literary journal?In Bloom's own words, the Phoenix edition of the Review". . . has risen from its own ashes . . . has pulled together itscharred ends, wiped the soot from its face, smoothed its rumpledfeathers, and now stands up again as a periodical."There appear to be two major currents of ithought permeatingevery page of the Review: the "Bob Dlyan" type messagewhich exemplifies the depravity and total hopelessness of thehuman condition and, on the other hand, a romantic elementwhich glorifies nature as the whole of life shown in its ultimatebeauty.Aside from such entries as Dan Bloom's "Joycean" excerpt,Nancy Rubin's brilliant short story, or Mary Cichowski's exposeon art, these two patterns of thought/ are equally disributedthroughout the entire magazine.Lewis Silverman's essay The Twentieth Century: Exhaltationor Deprivation adequally defines the state of man's helplessanxiety: "As the established order of religion had done centuriesbefore, one more grand hope for man, that of nationstates and redemptive nationalism, metamorphosized into avacuum of hopelessness against the diversities of nature . . ."Anyone who provides an illusion for our comfort, an idolfor our worship, gets a hearing. There is no mental perversionso extreme that it cannot find followers.And how are these mental perversities manifested in oursociety? They compose such movements as scientific technocracy,death of God theologians, flower children, and the like. .In other words, man's quality for "thought and reason . . .has been perverted .. . man's own imagination and thought havepropelled this feeble creature into a race of death ... a racethat is out of the hands of man on the street, but the stakes involvehim totally."It seems is if most of the Review literature travelling this"Dylanesgue" avenue of thought offers the reader a sombre reflectionof what the world could be, but isn't due to man's misuseof nature.And it makes one wonder if the prophecy in Horseshoes byPresident Leland Miles will not one day become a catastropicreality:Yet this needless act reminds of—other thingsThe yelping smashes of our floating friendsRaise a question whether man is due somedayTo be crushed himself when Nature seeks revenge.The alternative avenue of thought which is emphasized inthe Review can best be classified as the "Rom antic" element.In the selections offering this form of literary expression, ! onefinds a reaffirmation of Nature's potentialities of beauty andlove, rather than her omnipotent threat of revenge.For instance, Maximillian Bauer's La Primavera speaks ofthe ectasy of love with a background of silhouetted trees.The accompanying photograph by Steve Constantinides accentuatesthe mood of Bauer's poem, as all the other illustrationssupplement the underlying currents of thought.One finds the desire to communicate with nature the prevalentwish of all the exponents of this "romantic" element; foras Jeanne McDougall writes:1 want to blendwith the sunand rub skinsagainst the trees—The ovetriding quest, or if you will The Impossible Dream,of this type of poetry seems to be an attempt to have intercoursewith his massive life force of nature, thus transcending all specifics,all modes of reason, all scientific advances such as theatomic bomb, and all other hindrances to existence.Resulting from this blending with nature, one experiencesan intellectual ectasy in which individuals become aware thatthey have been cooperating with the most powerful force onearth.Instead of being pessimistic and uttering "A life is no more"as Karen Duncan exclaims, the "romantic" prefers to envisionlife as a summer night full of gaiety, without the burdens of theworld cracking his spine. This entire desire is adequately explainedin a, poem by Nancy Rubin:Somewhere you and I remember weran from, the waters our heads dripping wetand yetted songs and songs in theblack full moon fire of a single summer night.We shook back pur hair and let go laughteruntil our. heads tang dizzily aching for cur,pulling, in red songs and black star pointed nights.We were green beaches and grasses alone above the sea.By IRWIN BERLINIt is correct for a man todedicate his life to science,and thereby deny the love aspectin his life? This is themain question posed by IngmarBergman's Wild Strawberries.The Swedish movie was sponsoredby the Alden InterfaithCenter and shown last Tuesday.An elderly doctor, Isak Borg,is about to receive his highesthonor, an honorary degreefrom his old university; howeveren route to the ceremonyhe realizes that he has beenhonored, but not loved.The important momentsin his life, which are shownthrough flashbacks and elaboratedream sequences, merelypoint up his inner desiccation.We find, basically, just theshell of this man, sufferingfrom a terrible sense of lonliness.Isak admits at one pointthat even though his body isalive, he is, in fact, dead.The first dream finds Isaklost on an old street with ruined houses. H e accidentlyknocks a mannequin down andblood rushes from it. A clockon a building has no hands onit. A casket topples from a funeralcart and a hand reachesout trying to drag Isak intothe casket. The body is that ofIsak.The symbols here mean thatfor Isak no time exists. Hisyouth was two hundred yearsago, he says himself. He is resistingdeath although he isas 'blodless and inhuman as themannequin.Romantic daysProbably the most influentialevent in Isak's life occurredwhen as a young man he wascourting his cousin Sara. Thenhe was more the romantic, interestedin the aesthetic persuasions,reading poetry, actingthe part of the idealist.He vied for the affectionsof Sara with his brother Sigfried,the more passionate, excitingone. Sara rejected Isakin favor of marrying Sigfried.Perhaps it was at this pointthat Isak decided on his dedicationto education ratherthan to love. This is certainlyechoed in his later marriageto a woman who does not remainfaithful to him.Isak blames himself for hisloneliness in a dream sequence.He judges himself both as adoctor and as a human being.Apparently as a young doctorhe was successful in hisfield of medicine as well asin reacting to other people, asevidenced in the gratitude expressedby the gas station attendantand his wife who hadknown him as a local doctor.It is hinted that he was morehuman then.Isak blames himself for hiswife's infidelity because he be.came too interested in his professionto attend to his wife'sneeds of love.Three stagesThe three stages in Isak'slife can be seen at a glance inthe touring car that drivesalong the road to the universitytown of Lund. In the backseat are three young peoplehitdh-hiking to Italy. One isstudying to be a parson (youngIsak). Another is going to becomea psychiatrist (analyticalIsak). The third, who sits betweenthem is Sara, a girl whoseems analogous to the Sara ofIsak's youth.In the middle are a husbandand wife who have a hystericalargument and must be askedto leave. The similarity toIsak's marriage is too good topass up.In the front seats are Isakhimself and his daughter- in -law, Marianne.There is not very muchsubtlety in the film, and ftseems constantly to be in astate of weariness. The themeof loneliness is played backand forth with heavy tones ofdeath and implications of life'spurpose.The title affords a hint asto the meaning of the film. Isak,as was suggested at the discussion period at the CampusCenter, has found the joy ofdiscovering wild strawberries.Much work is involved in appreciatingthose precious momentsin life worth remembering.But someone suggested thatif he tasted the strawberries,he may have found them to bebitter, and now discovers hehas a rash.Isak at the conclusion of thefilm has finally reached someacceptance of his life, and isready to release himself if heshould die. He makes a reconciliationwith his loneliness,science, and love.We see Isak at least liked byhis daughter-in-law, and beginningto emerge from his progressiveloneliness.Life and its full significanceapparently can only be seenclearly through death.Senate schedules caucusBy SUE CORNELLTonight nominations will beopened for Senate officers whowill serve the remainder of thissemester and next year. Nominationswill take place duringthe regular Senate meetingat 7:00 in Room B of theCampus Center.It was announced at lastTuesday's meeting that anystudent wishing to nominate acandidate or be considered fornomination should attend thismeeting.The offices open are president,vice-president, and studentaffairs chairman. Requirementsfor the presidential candidatesare: he must be a memberof the present junior class,in good academic standing,and have served at least onefull semester on the Senate.A Candidate for vice-presidentor student affairs chairmanmay be from any academicclass, must be in good academicstanding and have beena member of Senate for onesemester.Al^o discussed at the meetwasthe tentative plan for,anAlfred University radio station.Leslie Gardner, who hasdone research on the feasibilityof combining a radio stationwith Alfred Ag-Tech, announcedthat this idea has beendiscarded.Instead, groundwork is beinglaid for a University owned FMstation, which will cost approximately$5000 for a completenew set-Up.LETTERS TO THE EDITOR*ln loco parentis' reattackedAcross 1)he nation there istremendous talk of civil rights.And this is just the problemin Alfred; it is all talk. In Alfred,the University has assumedthe powers that it justshould not have.For example, the Universityforbids a party on "closed"nights. This means that youeither go to the play, danceor other function, or you areforced to go out of town forrecreation. We are, however,fortunate in having the libraryleft open.Also the University requireshousemothers who have absolutelyno function in fraternitieswhere the average age is21.

Here she is imprisonedfor 15 hours.And what happened to a women'sright to speak withsomeone on the phone whenevershe wants to, or to travelwherever and whenever shewailts without telling anyonewhere she is going. (Pleasenote — this does not meanthat there is a double standardin Alfred, and has no similarityto Nazi Germany whereone was required to carry apassport.)These are just a few instanceswhere the Mother of Men,also known as Mother Hen,has taken away the civil libertiesof its students. It attemptsto justify these actions throughsome mumble • jumble about'in loco parentis'.These are basic flaws in thistheory. Since parents donthave any legal authority over,or responsibility to, their childrenover 21, it would obviouslybe incongruous for the Universityto have such powers overmost juniors and seniors.Furthermore, it is obviousthat the University has a setof regulations that parents donot approve. Suppose the parentsw&nt their daughter tolive in an apartment. Andwhose parents would not encouragetheir mature son ordaughter to bring a date home,without regard to whether or.not they are here.In spite of much talk andour new 'dynamic' president,we, the students, remain inthe Mother of Men's purgatorywhere we are neither intelligentcitizens nor adolescents.Perhaps ii is time we finallycut the umbilical cord.Name withheld on request

Editorial...The people's choice ...In last week's primary election in the state of New Hampshire42% of the democratic vote went to Eugene McCarthy,champion of ¡those who belive the nation should get out ofViet Nam now.We hardly consider 42% of the Democrats from New Hampshireto represent any kind of mandate from the people, butwe feel that the primary results do have some significance.Considering that the vote in favor of the incumbent, LyndonJohnson, was not even a clear majority, we cannot help butassume that a large percentage of the Democratic communityis not firmly behind LB J, all the way. And we know that theRepublicans throughout the nations are not noted for their supportof the present President.Until now, most of the question marks in the race for Presidentialnominations have been in the GOP; this was the reasoningbehind the selection of the Republican Convention as thetopic for Alfred's own mock convention. The Democratic nominationseemed likely to be much more a rubber stamp acceptanceof the Johnson administration that a real contest.But with the results of the first primary, we begin to seethat Dark Horse McCarthy is perhaps not such a dark horseafter all. There may indeed be a real race for th^ nominationin the Democratic Party as well as in the Republican. And wehope that, whatever candidate emerges from the fray, the Partyleaders will reflect the contest in he platform they establishand perhaps even follow after the election in November.We see the support for McCarthy as an indication that asubstantial number of people are opposed to the war in SoutheastAsia. This is no sudden revelation; we have known fromits outset that this was an unpopular war. However, tb say awar is unpopular is not necessarily to say that the people as awhole want the nation to withdraw at any cost.Mulford Sibley, who spoke here several months ago andadvocated McCarthy as a Presidential candidate, summed up hisline of reasoning by saying, "If it was wrong to get in . . . it'sright to get out." 1 Sibley has a way with words, that line has thepotential to become a slogan like "54, 40 or fight."We ... I. . . can not yet claim to be totally convinced thatMcCarthy is right and certainly feel that Sibley represents arather extremist view. However, we are intrigued with the factthat we seem to know where we stand with McCarthy on atleast one issue that is certain to be prominent in the upcomingcampaign.We are waiting to learn more obout this man who hasseemingly appeared from nowhere to offer a very substantial«pposition to the White House incumbent. We wonder whetherhis apparent popularity will be reflected in other primaries nowthat Robert Kennedy is a candidate. We wonder if he might justmake the '68 election into another case where the voters—andthat includes many of us, for a change—are offered a clear-cutchoice on the issues that lie ahead.FIAT LUXMarch 19, 1988FIAT LUXALFRED UNIVERSITY'S STUDENT NEWSPAPERALFRED, NEW YORK 14802Editor In Chief: KAREN FRIBERGFeature Editor : LARRY 8.

Although we,might be able to curtail thepresent suffering, we are notprepared to face the populationincrease of the future.Religious dogma has, ofcourse, a great deal to dk> withoverpopulation. According toSteve, "The Roman CatholicChurch is the only mlajor "Westerninstitution that is opposingpopulation limitation,"ParadoxThere is a paradox, however,in that due to the large populationand mechanization, manIs rejecting God and religionswhich are not solving man'sproblems.One of the reasons for theposition of the Catholic Churchin the matter of populationcontrol is that a large rate ofincrease will keep the Churchstrong.Choice '68 . .(Continued from Page 2)mented with no overriding numericalsuperiority being enjoyedby any single individual.Rally for ReaganConservatives, however, canrally in convincingly heavy»timbers around Reagan.

Do the liberals?However we must questionthe policy of the Church inmodern society. The Church isnot remaining unscathed asfar as this dispute goes becauseeven here the conceptof control varies amongChurch leathers.Steve feels that populationcontrol is am even more explosiveissue politically thanreligiously. He stated thatthere are four political factorswhich determine the optimumpopulation.The military view points outthat a large population makesa country stronger, yet evenChina has a system Of birthcontrol.Economically a larger populationmeans a larger marketfor goods, but this is beneficiailonly to a certain point.According to the conservationistview, the growing populationis causing us to useour raw materials too fast. Andthere is a misanthropic viewin which people begin to hatethose responsible for the inerteasein population.CommunismOotomunist nations encouragelarge populations to keepcountries unsettled and politicallyunstable. But eventhough theoretically againstbirth control, Some Communistcountries are practicing it.India and Japan have als6adopted a policy of populationcontilol—we must before wesuffer.The increase of populationis one reason why regimentationis creeping into our laws.Steve did more than givefacts about the popufllaitlilon lexplosion.He also gaive an ideaof the consequences that mightbe in store for us if the presenttrend continues.Some of the problems wewill have to face are watershortages, water pollution, soildepletion, air pollution, urbansprawl, urban blight, juveniledelinquency and infringementson personal liberties.Cycle of ManHe pointed out the importantprogression:"nature makes man, manmakes culture, culture makesman, man destroys nature.^'This cycle pervaded the secondpart of Ms lecture.

The archaic tradition,characterized by strong familyties, stressed seflf-control.This stage was also characterizedby taboos against certainbehavior. However, thefamily relationship has graduallydecayed.What started as contemptfor ancestors is widening intoa contempt for posterity.Sieve has reached the conclusionthat it is time for politicalaction before our societysuffers.
