Albany-the City Around Us

by John Marion

Albany is in a state of transition. A hot knife
has been thrust into its cancerous guts and is in
the process of removing what has been festering there
for many years. Where there once were slums there
will soon be mddern office buildings; lots once crowded
with tiny bars and soda shops now serve as parking
lots,

One must remember, however, that so-called
“slums” are not always all that the term implies.
Many buildings in slum areas do not fit the usual
image of the slum. Many are clean and reasonably
well-kept, their only fault that of being old and,
consequently, starting to slump and fall. The location
is often the only reason for the demolition of a building.

We must also remember that rundown apartment
buildings are more than slums; they are the homes of
many people and no matter how rundown a place
may be, it is the home of some people and they have
formed a certain emotional attachment to it. Con-
sideration of this fact may give some insight into
the objections of many people to urban renewal,

South Mall

A total of 85 acres in downtown Albany is now
undergoing urban renewal to make room for many
new state government buildings, known as the South
Mall project. This project serves a dual purpose; it
not only clears out many buildings that should have
been torn down years ago, but it also provides space
for many much-needed buildings to house various
departments of the state government.

Between the time of evacuation and construction
of the new buildings, however, the state of the Mall
area is unique. The vacated huildings stand like
a child’s forgotten toys; they seem to realize their
uselessness and sag under the weight of this real-
ization, The doors are boarded up, the windows are
broken and a heavy dust settles over everything.

Movie Review

Film Succeeds on Gusto and Cast

by Paul Jensen

A large number of John Wayne’s
past films have been directed by
his friend, John Ford, These in-
clude The Man Who Shot Liberty
Valance and the more recent Don-
ovan’s Reef. The cast and charac-
ter of Wayne’s newest film, Me-
Lintock, give the impression that
it is still another by Ford.

Viewer's Advantage

The picture, however, is defi-
nitely not a Ford film—and this is
all to the viewer's advantage.

Ford, the director of such clas-
sics asThe Informer and The Grapes
of Wrath seems in recent years to
have lost his touch.

About all that remains is a gen-
eralized technical polish, which
alone is insufficient to hold together
the cliches of the pretentious Liberty
Valance or the amateurish impro-
visation of Donovan's Reef.

His problems seems to lie in
the selection, and control, of his
material,

Of course, McLintock alsu has
its share of cliches, Certainly the
figure of the rich cattle baron has

ELECTIONS

Legislation passed by
Senate on November 13,

dents, regardless of class.

been overused for some years now.
In addition, the filmhas subplots and
extraneous incidents that cause itto
ramble shiftlessly about for over

two hours.

But two things keep these elements
from falling as flat as a Ford film.
First, it is played for laughs, and
in many cases gets them. It suc-
ceeds through sheer gusto, and the
spirit that pervades the picture is
often infectious.

There is, for example, a massive
disorganized melce early in the
film, with the fallen combatants
sliding smoothly downhill into a
lake of mud,

It is totally confused, and the di-
rection dues little to organize it.
Cutting. close-ups and the selection
of specific incidents are often for-
gotten, but the force and fun in it
keeps it enjoyable:

Excellent Cast

The second advantage is an ex-
cellent cast of character actors,
who make the film succeed almost
solely on the power of their per-
sunalities.

There’s Wayne. of course—older,
paunchier, but sull forceful, He
even acts a bit. givil an amusing
performance in lis big drunk scene,
This episode features some very
funny business about a flight of
stairs.

Maureen O'Hara, as his wile, 1s
her usual Irish-teimpered self and
Yvonne de Carlo is Wayne’s newly
hired cook.

Also participating are Chill Wills,
as the ranch ramrod, Edgar Buch-
anan, inevitably playing the town
derelict, Gordon Jones as a foolish
shyster and Jerry Van Dyke as his
equally foolish collegiate son,

while some of the roles, such as
Van Dyke’s, are on the verge of
being overdone, the tone of the en-
tire picture is sufficiently broad
for them not to seem out of place.

It’s the kind of film that a viewer
must be in the mood for, and that
needs the spontaneous laughter of a
large audience. As entertainment
it is light, and all subtlety is thrown
to the winds,

Depending upon the viewer, it can
be either a sporadically funny farce,
or a consistently silly slapstick
western — it’s the individual’s re-
action that counts,

It is a sad commentary on the student
body’s common sense when they feel that
the head of the University has less pa-
triotic spirit than themselves,

A feeling of hopelessness towards ever improving
one’s economic status prevails among almost all, but
it is even more deeply imbedded among Negroes due
to existing discriminatory hiring practices among
employers,

Coupled with this hopelessness is the fact that the
idea of college is completely outside of their frame
of reference. It is never an idea that is rejected; it is
never thought of. While this situation seems almost
hopeless, something is being done; something that can
involve students here at State.

At the beginning of last summer a tutorial project
was started in Albany hy twomembersof the Northern
Student Movement, It is similar to dozens of other
projects in other cities across the northeast section
of this country. With the help of the Trinity Institute,
rooms were obtained in churches for teaching and
college students started tutoring students from the
South End on an individual basis,

If any of you are interested in helping one child get
through high school and perhaps go to college, you
are invited to devote an hour and a half a week to this
project. To join or obtain further details, see Pro-
fessor Hayes of the Speech Department in Richardson
288,

Call this project what you will — foolish, useless,
for do-gooders — anything you like; the fact remains
that it is working, hélping many students finish high
school and even vo to college who never would have,

The only hitch is this — without volunteers from
this school, it will ultimately collapse, Are you
willing to help?

Chartering Service Inefficient

The events of last Wednesday and Sunday proved the
inefficiency of Senate as a medium for chartered

should rest on the Greyhound Bus Lines,

Their complete lack of co-ordination was demon-

bus was re-routed immediately hefore departure,

STATE UNIVERSITY NEWS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1963

President Collins Delivers An Address to the University
IN MEMORIAM

Text of the Address

It is about seventy hours since John F, Kennedy was shot. This is a
time-period that is shockingly short in which to change the whole com-
plexion of our national life, Yet it seemsa long time to us now, perhaps
because together we have run through a wide range of emotions: shock,
and anger, disbelief, fear, outrage, honest grief and misgivings for the
future,

I approach with humility and a very deep sense of my own inade-
quacy the task that your Student Association fficers asked me to as-
sume — that of reflecting in some degree the feelings of our university
membership, to express the response of our own distinctive community
to the tragic events on which I need not dwell, Wiser and much more
eloquent men than I have been heard in these past seventy hours, and
the nation has listened; in a very real sense all has been said.

That I approach at all the task of saying what I believe each one ut
you would say — of speaking not to sou but for you — reflects my belief
that our community is distinétive, thatour response is therefore
somehow special, significant for us in ways that are umquels our own,

Our community is, of course, different, and distinctive in its re-
sponsesto these events, First, and most obviously, it 1s younger, at
least in its average age, This community reacts, theretore, to the qual-
ities which characterize youth ~ Jolin Kennedy's vigor, his Mexibility,
his tough resilience, his impatience with the conditions he considered
wrong, his desire to change things now, the urgent thrust of his program
and of his personality.

To these, young men and women responded with warmth and a sense
of glad participation, a ready recognition of the concerns that moved
this man, and an identification with lum in seeking to advance those
concerns, And when that life was smpped olf, su abruptly , so unjust!
these young men and women were at once more feepl, shocked. more
fiercely angered, and vet more adaptable to the dee} seated changes

Words of wisdom concerning flat painting.are given by Technical Director Jon Bardon to Joyce Davis,

PAT FASANO

Something new and different is
coming to the State University
Theatre Department. Up to this
time, the student body has regarded
the Theatre as the private property
of those having previous experience
or those solely involved in speech
and dramatics,

The purpose here is to give a
peek at what goes on behind the
scenes and on the stage and invite
any and all who are interested
to join us.

Much Work
Many hours of work go into one
University production, But with the

work comes a feeling of pride and
accomplishment in the knowledge
that the job, no matter how small,
was vitally important in creating
the whole dramatic effect.

Lighting, props, set construction
and design, costumes and makeup
are just a few of the areas involved
in putting together one good show.
Half the fun is watching these sep-
arate departments finally come to-
gether the week of dress rehearsal,
when the director walks around
with the kind of look on his face
that makes you wonder if this pro-
duction will ever make it — and it
does.

Roz Ferrara, one of the cast of U.S.A. is outfitted by Dennis

Tuttle, costume head.

Of course there isn’t anything
too romantic about all the technical
work involved. It’s hard to get ex-
cited about hanging a light, sweeping
the stage, painting a flat or hemming
a skirt, but there isdefinitely some-
thing exciting in knowing that all
these jobs are guing to make a
production an audience will truly
appreciate.

Opening Night

That story about opening night is
really true. The smell of make-up,
the heat from the lights, the crew
members running around frantically
and the cast people who always
seem to get in the way, give you a
kind of thrill you just can’t get
anyplace else.

It’s electric and w’s infectious —
and frustration that accompanies
rehearsals seein tu disappear when
that curtain finally opens.

When a production is over, the
lights are turned down, the stage is
bare and there are uly a few props
left in the wings, perlaps an old
telephone, a cane, or a crumpled
hat that au old lady wore in the
second act,

There’s uothing lett but an echo,
But the peuple who walked aeross the
stage took home with na pocket
full of memories, the laughs when
they couldnt find the right’ hight
switeh, the tears when a scene
just wouldn't come, and the unbeliev=
ably wari fecling when the audience
rings with applause, a world of
make-believe with very real re-
wards.

Director’s Eye-View of ‘U.S.A.’
Acquaints Students With Production

by Dr. James M. Leonard

U.S.A., the play by Paul Shyre and John Dos Passos, chronicles that exciting
period of American history from 1900 to 1930, That history is conveyed, for
the most part, by a staccato recitation of newspaper headlines from the period.
The headline scenes are informative, but also surprising and amusing, and
are placed in striking relationships to the other scenes of the play.

Piano music of the period is used to bridge the historical material and the
segments of a more personal nature, as well as to provide the background for
the headlines, In addition to an impersonal recitation of headlines to give
the flavor of events of the period, there are passages in the play which will

describe some of the most colorful per-
sonalities of the time. In brief segments,
the audience meets Rudolph Valentino
and Isadora Duncan, political figures
Emma Goldman and Eugene Debs, and
the well-known mechanics Henry Ford
and Orville and Wilbur Wright,

The epic level of presentation described
some alternates with a personal level,
which concerns itself throughout the play
with the life of J. Ward Moorehouse,
whose experiences embody Dos Passos’
recurring theme of the corruption of the
individual by commercialism

False Values
Moorehouse’s life unfolds against: the
backeround of the turbulent and excessive
era which stretched from the turn-of-the-
century to the Great Depression, when
luals and the nation were being

indivic
swept along in a furry of false values,

The epie and the personal combine to
produce an informative, satiric, and nos-
talgic presentation, The predominant tone
of the play is one of irony, The audience
is made aware of the superficiality of
most of the personal and national commit-
ments shown in the play

There is also affection in the treat-
ment, and one gets the feeling that the
great enthusiasms of the era, when they
do not preduce worthy results, often leave
their own gratuitous trails of glory,

The production, then, will embrace the
personal and the epic, the satiric and the
nostalgic, the bite and the warmth of the
seript. The production should) show too
that at times beneath the chrome exterior
of a bland national enthusiasm Jay hints
of horror

Combination of Techniques

All this is to he accomplished hy enact-
ment, headlines, narrations, music, scenic
projections, and dance, Such a combina-
tion of techniques is reminiscent of the
Federal Theatre’s Living Newspaper and
similar to television’s That Was The Week
That Wa

These external techniques and the inner
attitudes, then, combine to form the pro-
duction, in which the auditory, visual,

Pauline Arasim and Ed Bacchus reenacting
“Turn of the Screw?"

tind temporal elements whieh make up
theatre have been organized into an ex-
pressive shape.

During rehearsals, this expressive
shape must be allowed to evolve from the
creative freedom of those involved in
production,

The director, however, must shape the
play even ashe encourages freedom, From
this proce emerges a style, which,
hopefully, is not a directorial imposition,
or the imposition of a particular his-
torical period or mode of staging, or
even the imposition of a particular play-
wright, but the unique style of the play

DECK THE HALLS

The time has come to think of Christmas shopping, for the
Yuletide will be upon us quicker than you can say Jack Robin-
son, (Have you ever wondered, incidentally, about the origin
of this interesting phrase ‘Quicker than you can say Jack
Robinson”? Well sir, the original saying was French—“Plus
vite que de dire Jacques Robespierre.” Jack Robinson is, as every-
one knows, an Anglicization of Jacques Robespierre who was,
as everyone knows, the famous figure from the French Revolu-
tion who, as everyone knows, got murdered in his bath by
Danton, Murat, Caligula, and Al Capone.

(The reason people started saying “Quicker than you ean
say Jacques Robespierre” —or Jack Robinson, as he is called in
English-gpeaking countries like England, the U.S., and Cleve-
land—is quite an interesting little story. It seems that Robes-
pierre’s wife, Georges Sand, got word of the plot to murder
her husband in his bath, All she had to do to save his life was
call his name and warn him. But, alas, quicker than she could
sty Jacques Robespierre, she received a telegram from her old
friend Frederie Chopin who was down in Majoren setting lyrics

: a
ers

Al 4he bad to do was cal] tes mame

to his immortal “Warsaw Concerto.” Chopin said he needed

Georges Sund’s help desperately beeause he could not find a

rhyme for “Warsaw."” Naturally, Georges could not refuse

such an urgent request.

(Well sir, off to Majoren went Georges, but before she left,
she told her little daughter Walter that some bad men were
coming to nurder Daddy in his bath, She instructed Walter
to shout Robespierre's name the moment the bad men arrived
But Walter, alas, had been sea-bathing that morning on the
Riviera, und she had come home with a big bag of sult water
taffy, and when the bud men arrived to murder Robespierre,
Walter, alas, was chewing a wad of taffy and could not get her
mouth unstuek in time to shout a warning. Robespierre, ules,
was murdered quicker than you could say Jacques Robespierre

or dack Robinson, as he is culled in Mnglish-speaking countries

(There is, Tam pleased to report, one stall note of cheer

firm establishinent per'e, they have
changed somewhat in number and
appearance, but have maintained
their positions as the hub of State’s
social life.

The five fraternities which now
exist are the largest number in
State’s history; however, the eight
sororities represent only slightly
more than half of the fifteen which,
in the early 1930’s, offered group
membership to Albany’s female pop-

you also with the manuer in which these sororities fight for the privilege

governed by w set of inter-surority rules which are held very strict
and imust be obeyed carefully by all.”

organized as Kappa Nu sorority
(later changed because of the exist-
ence of a fraternity with the same
name), Its ideals were ‘‘loyalty,
companionship, and sincerity.”

Beta Zeta was formed in 1916
and Alpha Epsilon Phi was founded
in 1917, The latter, anational soror-
ity, was the predecessor of Sigma
Phi Sigma.

Rushing System Set Up

Now that there were eight sorori-
ties on campus, some orderls sys-
tem of rushing was needed, In 1918,
the first organized rusing system
was introduced, If a girl had one
D, she was ineligible to rush,

World War I saw a curtailment
of fraternity life. Only KDR sur-
vived the conflict, However, several
new sororities appeared, Alpha
Delta Omicron (now Phi Delta) in
1924, Epsilon Beta Phi and Gamma
Phi Sigma in 1927, and Sigma Alpha
in 1928,

In 1931, fraternity rushing began
to be taken more seriously when
a second fraternity, the Edward
Eldred Potter Club appeared,

Potter Club was organized by
thirteen men who rejected the idea
of a Greek letter fraternity, The
naine, suggested by the then College
President, Dr, A, R. Brubacher,
was chosen in memory of amember
of the class of '20, who was killed
in World War I,

IFC Formed

By 1936, it became necessary
to form the Interfraternity Council
with the two existing fraternities
to keep all rushing clean, An Inter-
sorority Council was also organized
and a new system of preferential
lidding was introduced,

Sororities rapidly increased in
number and by 1932, fifteen of
them were actively functioning.

Fraternities did not multiply in
number so swiftly, Kappa Beta was
organized in 1937. The formation
of the group was encouraged by a
need for more housing for men,
and its first stated purpose was
to found a group house for men,
SLS was also organized in 1937,

World War I worked many hard-
ships on the Greeks, Sigma Alpha
disbanded in 1941 and by the close
of the war only seven surorities
remained,

President Sayles, in 1942, pre-
sented a plan for the fraternities
to move into Sayles Hall and give
up their houses because of the war
conditions.

Dr, Sayles stated that “the asin it

were two flags — of the country and of the Presidency, reminders that
the continuity of both extends beyond individuals. We do not mourn the
man the less if we remember that any office — even this highest
office — is greater than the man who holds it,

Even though we know these things to be true. we need to remind
ourselves of our dedication to reason and to intelligence. We do
identify, we do feel personal loss, we do grieve, and after grief comes
anger, and a revulsion against the senseless savagery of blind butchery,

And this emotion, too, finds personal expression, and we let violence
beget violence as the accused killer, yet untried, is in his turn killed,
We who are dedicated to the integrity and the improvability and the
inviolability of the individual suffer this ultimate violation of individual
integrity — the man, whatever his guilt, killed by a self-designated
executioner while our peace officers, guardians of the orderly pro-
cesses of law, hold him

If we are realistic, we recognize the stratum of violence that lies
all too close beneath the surface of our hard-won civilization, We
acknowledge it in our ‘funny’? papers, our entertainment. our law-
lessness. And our hatemongers feed it, and are fed by it, and focus
it to their ugly purposes,

We are realistic, but we are tempted always to forget our intelli
gence and the was of reason,We may, for example, \reld to the tantrums.

Cassius brought on the very dictatorship the, feared. The double
vivlence of Oswald’s alleged deed and his death strengthen the dever-
mintion of decent men to reestablish the rule of Law, of order, of
reason,

And most important. as we assert our common dedieation to order
and te reason, we remember the broader idealism ot tie mart
Kennedy, the convictions that moved him, and that claimed our alle

271 Ontario Street

by Joseph W. Galu

The assassination of President
Kennedy leaves everyone at a loss
for words, with a feeling of utter
helplessness

The world’s greatest surgeon
could do nothing; the best speaker
could not find words to express
the feelings of an individual, the
nation, or himself; the world’s
strongest man could do nothing to
lend even an ounce of strength
to the President as he lay dying.

The impossibility of the task of
expressing one’s feelings in a
limited space forbids my attempt
to say that which I still feel, The
only profitable course is to face
the present and future and con-
sider Lyndon Baines Johnson,

Civil Rights Record

Those who wonder about civil
rights should remember that it was
Johnson who was the leader of the
Senate when all modern civil rights
legislation was passed,

It was Johnson who put the Sen-
ate on a 24-hour a day schedule
thus defeating the Southern fili-
buster, Johnson, the so-called con-
servative, was the man who pushed
through the 1959 and 1960 Senates
the legislation which Ike vetoed as
hetng tov radical,

Ido not expect Johnson to present
Congress with the type of legis-
lation which Kennedy presented and
which bogged Congress down to
its present do little pace,

Kennedy's Far Reaching Programs

I du not expect Johuson to come
up with the extremely far-reaching
plans that Kennedy had; the corps
fur peace, the complete revision
of our tax structure, the complete
revision of our tariff policy, a
vuther complete program tor South
American and South-eastern Asian
development,

Kennedy, a his two years and
tel months, presented (according
to Richard Russell) more far-reach-
ing legislation than even FDR in
te Hundred Days. Kennedy's pro-
grams were not hastily prepared
or presented to a wildly enthusiastic
Congress.

Kemedy's approach was almost
entirely intellectual, When dealing
even with defense. lie calinds, quoted
Stutisnies af we are 60U'o more

capable to fight guerillas, ete.

Approach Will Differ

Johnson's approach will combine
the intellectualism of Kennedy with
a more earthy, more folksy, more
urbane style.

He will not descent to the level
of telling the American people what
they want, but I expect nation-wide
television addresses on his priority
legislation.

I also expect Johnson to deal
with Congressional leaders in a
manner tore firm than that of
Kennedy. I feel sure that the Sen-
ate will be moving faster and
will probably replace Mansfield as
leader,

In the House, the leadership is
on its last legs, McCormack has
his last chance right now, If he
does not make good, he will prob-
ably yield to someone new, The
current House underlings stand little
chance of replacing McCormack,

No Problem

In general, I feel that the people
Who worry about Johnson's conser-
vatism are creating their own prob-
lem, Johnson started in the House
of Representatives as a New Deal
darling, This hardly reflects con-
servatisin,

His opponents in primary elec-
tions in Texas have always painted
Jolson as an extreme liberal,

My only fear is that Johnson's
attitudes are not urban, We have
gone back to a rural President
after our first truly urban Presi-
dent in many year

I feel that the Johnson record on
civil rights and in getting civil
rights legislation through the Sen-
ute ts a (rue indication of the man’s
attitudes and potenti

6 shots through the nets, Browner
and Cohn also netted 4 field goals
apiece to help pace the Goober
attack,

APA Controls Boards
A well balanced APA squad easily
defeated Potter I, last year’s cham-

pions, by a 49-35 count. Strong
board play enabled APA to control
the game throughout. Gary Smith

with 10 and 13 points respectively.

day. Another APA team enrerged
victorious as they defeated the In-
finites in overtime 41-35, DiCaprio

Waltamath and Much also hit aouble
figures with 11 and 10 points re-
spectively, APA pulled out to a
comfortable 25-19 half time lead

regulation was knotted at 35 all.
APA dominated overtime play. Di-
Caprio netted 4 points in overtime

and APA won going away,

Mike Bloom, former Albany High basketball player, clowns it

up in a frosh practice session.

In other league two action Club
487 defeated The Club 30-25, Krell

The contest slated for tomorrow night was to have
proved a point made in this column a few weeks ago.
Unfortunately the Fates have fouled things up again.
New Paltz’s star center, has withdrawn from school
this semester, It seems that dispite valiant attempts
to keep this not too academically inclined lad in
school, he has backed out for a semester. The odds
now favor Albany.

On the national basketball scene we are going to
place our heads on the block, (not that they haven’t
been there before) and pick NYU to finish no. 1
in the country, with Loyola of Chicago a close second,
Please save your comments until the end of the
season,

For study bugs that don’t want to make the long
trip WSUA will be broadcasting the games. We urge
all students that can’t attend the games in person
to tune in the play by play account on WSUA, Remem-
ber it?s your team.

The cold weather heralds the possible appearance
of the one, the only, Lake Minerva. Yes, friends
that cancerous pond that we all love so well may
appear overnight, as if createdby a wonderful magician.
The new students are in store for a marvelous treat.
If we all pray real hard, the wondrous transformation
may take place on Dorm Field.

Could someone tell us how male cheerleaders are
going to inspire State fans to higger and hetter cheers?
We have nothing against males waving the pom poms,
but we fail to see any gain in refusing the girls
admittance to the ranks of the rah rah squad, We
are certainly not an all male school as any State coed
will tell you, so let’s have EQUAL opportunity for all.

Another prediction: Albany State — 15-7, starting
with Oneonta as first victim...

The New Paltz Hawks invade the Washington Ave. Armory tomorrow night
to do battle with the Peds, New Paltz has shown great improvement in recent
years and is expected to be strong. Last year the Hawks received outstanding
play from Bob Dilman and Fred Sadler. Dilman has graduated but Sadler was
only a freshman. Big Fred was the team’s leading scorer and rebounder,
Reports indicate that New Platz has picked up several transfers, but they are

unconfirmed,

Albany will be going with two veteran starters, Dick Crossett and Joe Loudis,
The shifty Crossett gave the normal schoolers fits last year. It will probably
be his job to contain Sadler. Both teams will have had one game behind them

Literary Review
‘Spain’ Explores Her Inner Soul

by J. A, Gomez

Nikos Kazantzakis, SPAIN (New
York, 1963), Simon and Schuster,
254 pages — $5.00,

Like D, H. Lawrence, Nikos Kaz~
antzakis was a frenzied prophet who
Preached a Dionysian vision of life,
Like Lawrence, he was a world
traveler who sought some unobtain-
able ideal synthesis.

Both writers met with failure
in their quest, but both writers
produced penetrating “travel
books’’ about the many lands that
they visited,

Spain by Nikos Kazantzakis is
not a “travel book”’ in the ordinary
sense of the word. The reader sees
little of the peaceful Spanish coun-
tryside and the everyday life of
the people, but he feels the depths
of a people’s soul,

Kazantzakis’ portrait of Spain is
tinted by a mytho-historical, color-
ful, and visionary explosion ofemo-
tion and philosophy. Out of this
unique vision rides the undying heart
of Spanish life — Don Quixote,

“The world has emerged from
God’s hands, rife with injustice
and shortcomings. And he, the Knight
of the Ideal, was duty-bound to set
it right. For Don Quixote’s work
begins where God’s leaves off,’’

Don Quixote
Spain, like the idealistic hero
of La Mancha, set out on an adven-
turous dream, The Spanish con-
quistador desired to bring Chris-
‘tianity and Spanish rule to the world,

here is a book
that is
helping us

to

think
clearly

In these troublesome times it
takes some doing to keep one's
perspective to appraise world
conditions with intelligence
and to come up with satisfying
answers, This bouk, Science and
Health with Key to the Serip-
tures by Mary Baker Eddy, has
helped many of us to do this, [t
can help you, too.

We invite you to come to our
meetings and to hear how we
are working out our problems
through applying the truths of
Christian Science,

In 1588, the reality of the English
navy punctured this Don Quixotesque
dream, and, like her hero, Spain
returned to her homeland to await
her last joust with death,

Kazantzakis claims that, along
with Ulysses, Faust, and Hamlet,
Don Quixote is deeply rooted in
the hearts of men. ‘'For perhaps
of all the princes, Don Quixote
most faithfully mirrors the fate
of man,”

Don Miguel Unamuno

The modern representative of Don
Quixote is Don Miguel Unamuno.
Like the idealistic hero, Unamuno’s
thoughts and plans for action are
hidden in the misty clouds of a
dream,

Most thinkers claimed that twen-
tieth century Spain should be Eur-
opeanized; others felt that she should
remain within her own borders and
tradition, Unamuno attempted to heal
the wounded heart of Spain; he
desired to Spanify Europe.

“We are Africans, We are not
sarcastic wits and mathematicians,
like the Europeans. We are not
scientists, We use the things dis-
covered by them: electricity, the
railway, the telephone, etc,

‘But our spirit is different: we
are mystical and tragic, Our in-
ability to adapt ourselves to Eur-
opean culture will give us the
strength to create a new culture
of our own,"

Despair

In his last years, this defeated
Spaniard was also forced to return
to his homeland, his own inner being,
and await death,

His only constant companion was
despair, In one of his last works,
Saint Emmanuel the Good, Martyr,
he tells the story of a Catholic
priest who attempts to give the
People a faith in which he himselt
cannot believe

During the Spanish Civil War,
Kazantzakis and Unamuno met in
the Falange stronghold of Sala-
manca, Ufamuno poured forth his
troubled soul to his Greek friend,

“ALL of these things are happening
because the Spaniards don’t believe
in anything! Nothing...Nothing! They
are desperados... The Spanish people
have gone mad! Not only the Spanish
Deople; the whole world today... What
is our duty? ‘To tide the truth
from the people..if they knew the
truth, they couldn't go on. They
wouldn't want to live any more, The
people need inyth, illusion

legend is Don Juan. Kazantzakis’
Portrayal of Don Juan, like that
of Albert Camus in The Myth of
Sisyphus, presents a man who is
not in quest of the Ideal Love,

He loves each woman with the
same passion and delight, and he
knows that his love is merely
momentary. ‘He possesses; he is
not possessed — and that is his
Ppower,”’

To Kazantzakis, Don Juan rep-
resents the Spirit, ‘the wakeful
wandering flame,’ which leaps up
and escapes the clutches of woman
— Matter.

Don Juan and Don Quixote, passion
and idealism, form the rvots of the
Spanish people, and Kazantzakis at-
tempts to translate his mythical
vision of these people to the un-
familiar reader,

His verbal portraits are otten as
colorful, grotesque, and symboli-
cally personal as the visual por-
traits of El Greco. ‘He (El Greco)
succeeded, by his line and color,
in crystallizing an eternal phantom:
the indestructible despairing soul
of man,’’

Kazantzakis attempts a similar
purpose. At times, he is quite suc-
cessful.

Movie Review

The CIRTNECOGE

by Elizabeth Stroud

Some evening, probably in the very near future,
(if it hasn’t already taken place) the usual emptiness
of winter-time dorm field will give way to complete
havoc; the usually crowded study lounges will concede
to the all-important first snowfall.

Provided, of course, that the snow’s good packing,
and that there is enough to pack, this very common
occurrence can offer one of the happiest times here
at State. There’s no formal organization, no pressure
(except an occasional being dragged outside physi-
cally) to join in; no nothin’, ’cept a heap of fun.

Pressures build up, and suddenly it hits you right
between the eyes, and you don’t care how childishly
you act — so you pick up a snowhall twice as big, and
hit back! The grade-school excitement of building
forts, staging attacks, and running desperately from
the enerny, is suddenly rekindled; the crazy mixture
of thrilled annoyance that comes with snow down your
back, returns in all its glory.

Maybe it’s the unaccustomed vacation from the way
‘an adult’? in college should act; mayhe it’s the ob-
vious exhilaration of the frosty cold; maybe it’s the
secret grin because he (or she) is aiming more snow
your direction than anyone else’s; whatever your own
special reason, the dorm field fracas is thoroughly
enjoyable,

Don’t forget: sew your coat buttons on securely,
avoid long, winding scarves, and dress warmly (the
medical office has limited gallons of Cepacol), but
for heaven’s sake, join in! One ofthese days, there’s
going to be a real hum-dinger of a battle — I hope
you'll take advantage of it!

Constitution

During the committee repurts, the

out the fact that the proposed con-

stitution states that the business
