‘Strange love’ Laughs Terrifying

by Poul Jensen

Surely there is no doubt that
Stanley Kubrick is one of today’s
most original film directors.

This originality lies not in his
competent but undistinguished visual
style, but in his ability to direct
actors and develop plots on several
levels.

His last film, Lolite, was adver-
tised as a tragic love story about a
pathetically warped human being,
and this is how the film appeared
on the surface,

But Kubrick managed, through
the actors and his presentation of
the scenes, to make it also a satire
on literary and filmic cliches.

Dr. Strangelove

Now, his Dr. Strangelove: or How
1 Learned to Stop Worrying and Love
the Bomb, is being presented as a
wildly hilarious satire on humanity
and government, This it is, but it
also may be the most serious pes-
simistic comedy yet made, for be-
hind it lie some fearful ideas.

The things it makes funny, such
as mental and physical cripples
and self-annihiliation, are really
quite terrifying, The question may
arise whether these things should
be funny; nonetheless, in this case,
they unarguably are.

The satire so often passes into
burlesque that the film at times
becomes definitely farcical. It is
also quite a suspenseful thriller,
particularly in the later scenes
aboard Major King Kong’s bomber.

There are three major scenes
of action — the bomber, Burpelson
Air Force Base, the Pentagon War
Room ~ and their details all seem
realistically reproduced.

The other scenes, linking these
three, are often awkward, and the
transitions between them are abrupt.
Indeed, the entire film seems to
have been hastily edited together.

The attack on the A. F, Base
presents an ironic sign (“Peace
is our Profession’) to the point
of redundancy, and a bobbing, weav-
ing hand-held camera is used ex-
cessively.

Slow Pace
The film’s pace is a bit slow in
developing, and most of .e scenes
in the bomber are sufficiently
straight that they contribute little
to the comedy, but much the sus-
pense.

Slim Pickens as the Texas pilot,
a role that Peter Sellers was to
have played, is an average-sol.wer-
type whose mind fails to grasp the
consequences of what is happen-
ing, and so assures his crew they'll
all be in line for promotion “after
this thing is over.’"

At the base, Sterling Hayden
makes Gen, Jack D, Ripper’s theo-
ries on fluoridation and our natural
bodily Muid funny, by not portray =
ing him as an utter maniac, He
clearly believes in what he has
done = he has ordered a squadron
to attack Russia,

Peter Sellers plays Lionel Man-
drake, a nervous British officer

who tries to obtain the secret re-
call code from the General.

War Room Tops

The scenes at the base are good,
but those in the War Room surpass
them. Hilarious are the clashes
between the inert President (Sellers)
and the childishly irresponsible Gen,
“Buck”? Turgidson (George C.
Scott).

By now the plans, put into opera-
tion through a failure of ‘the human
element” (Ripper), have become so
entangled in the safeguards built
into our nuclear deterrents that the
planes cannot be recalled.

Russia, too, is hopelessly en-
tangled in the barbed-wire of safety
with its Doomsday Machine set to
explode automatically if the country
is bombed,

Also at the conference is Dr
Strangelove (Sellers), a ‘‘con-
verted?’ German scie.itist whe calls
the President ‘Mein Feuhrer’’ and
is almost strangled by his own
mechanical hand,

Sellers Excellent

Pickens is adequate and Hayden
surprisingly good, and both play
their roles fairly straight. Sellers
is excellent in three very different
characters, for he is a genius at
playing a role straight while re-
taining its comic aspects,

Except for Sellers’ brilliantly,
chillingly, hilarious portrait of
Strangelove, however, George C.
Scott vill have to be credited with
stealing the show. this style is
broad, and be 1s in constant mo-
tion, facially and/or bodily

But while lis mugging might have
clashed with the comparative under =
playing of the rest of the cast, it
here fits his character of an en-
thusiastic, gum-chewing, America-
first “hoy.” It does su beauti-
fully

“Brilliant” Picture

It also may be thought that the
unusual mixture of suspense, pes-
sitmisin and comedy weakens the
filin, In reality, it gives it more
stature by making it more than
just a “comedy.” Like Lolita,
it cannot be classified other than
iw the uncertain category of “brtl-
liant.’*

Salvatore Cascio Art Presentation

Shows Painter's

Distinct Moods

by Karen Goldstein

1 would greatly suggest the Salvatore Cascio show,
currently at the Albany Institute of History and Art,
to anyone wishing to examine what seems tobe the work

of two distinct painters.

Upon reviewing the show, I felt my moods and im-
pressions rotate from muted, ‘‘mud-luscious,’’ almost

traditional water colors to
vibrant, striking, abstract
oils and back to the former.

The viewer must possess a sense
of visual schizophrenia in order
to draw any conclusions regarding
Cascio’s single style or lack of any.

Traditional Subject Matter
Most representative of the tra-
ditional subject-matter water color
‘Maine Coust,” “ Province-

”'and Maine Harbor,’?

are
town

Caseto appears to be preoccupied
with bits of John Marin’s: broad
brush stroke technique, his unfin-
ished canvas corners, and his ap-
petite for blues and browns, as
shown in the above-mentioned paint -
ings,

Caseio’s approach to the popular
and sceme New England coastline
is refresling because he manages
to keep the viewer’s eyes shifting
over many centers of imerest. His
dramatic rendering of ‘Province-
town’? placed me inside the on-
rushing storm cloud, This intense
serenity before the storm was very
cleverly created with fierce blues
an! blacks,

Contrasts in Rhythm

Two paintings, “Globe Theatre,
and “ Pjazza.’’ remained inimy mind
as horrifying examples of pourly-
colored photographs from a Cham-
ber of Commerce circular, ‘Globe
Theatre” appears to be Times
Square as seen through the bleary
eyes of a veteran of its streets.
It lacks the rhythin aud excitement
this area usually echoes.

If ‘Piazza’ had a Santa Claus
driving a sled across its murky
sky, this would yield a typical holi-
day-Season greeting card,

“Kathleen's Bedroom” over-
powered the previous two without
much difficulty, Slightly remi-
niscent of Andrew Wyeth’s return
to. reality paintings, ‘Kathleen's
Bedroom’ had a mystical stillness
about it, The soft rhythms of the
furniture and draperies formed a
very pleasing effect. The open win-
dow left the viewer desiring to see
more of this type of painting

Little Imagination

The blaring use of bright colors
and a poor interpretation of Kline's
Japanese-influenced black stroke
characterizes much of Casew!s ab
stracts, Outside of lis very effi-
lent ullization of a shocking pal-
ette, Cascio has not been

oranges and browns, coupled with

The show vannot be judged in its

natures of its content, Each side

paintings could easily be filtered

To Discuss University Government

‘New Perspective for the Future,’ State’s recent trough Finance Committee in a
Student Government Conference, was concluded Satur-
day, April 4, with a summary address by University sa constitution charges the Execu-
President, Dr. Evan R, Collins,

It marked the end of an intense three-day conference
devoted to the discussion and analysis of the function thur Johnston, “These new proce-

several definite objectives in mind:
to “explore and develop a workable

Dialogue’ Necessary
“Each of us,” he stated, ‘‘per-
sonnel deans, faculty members, and
student leaders, must help ouf stu-
dents achieve an optimum balance
between authority on the one hand
and freedom on the other."’

He felt that in a growing unl-
versity there must be a decentral-
ization of authority to insure a
spreading of responsibility and de-
cision making. In later discussion
he again re-emphasized that there
must be a constant ‘dialogue’? be-
(ween student, faculty, and adimin-
istration,

lowing several sessions of dis-
cussion, feedback, both in small

delegates me’ in a final session

accomplished,

President Summarizes

Here they were addressed by
University President, Dr. an R,
Collins, who delivered a summary
statement, based upon what he had
observed during the three day as-
sembly,

He felt that the group had been
very well directed in “clarifying
its present thinking before project-
ing too far into the future," and
emphasized three points,

“The University ts indeed acom-
munity” implying a need for com-
munication and interdependency,
“the university has a common goal?’
in the search for knowledge and
truth through free inquiry, and that
this community is “unique and dis-
tinct,”

He concluded by urging that the
conference make definite planus for
the future development of the ideas
and ideals set down at this conler-
ence, and that students, faculty, and
administration strive to bring about
greater communication within this
university community. .

Arthur Ferrari 66,
Commissioner of Finance,
announced Sunday radically
revised procedures for
compiling Student Associa-
tion’s 1964-65 budget.

These changes are inac-
cordance with the Budget
Procedures Bill passed by
Senate last semester.

Presidents and treasurers of all
budgetary organizations must meet
with the commissioners of Cabinet
tomorrow as the first step in im-
plementing the new procedures.

The meetings will begin at 1:00
p.m, in Brubacher Hall. At that
time a complete outline of the new
procedures will be presented to the
heads of the budgetary organiza-
tions,

All organizations will be required
to turn in tentative budgets to the
individual Cabinet Commissioners
next Saturday, April 18,

Legislative Function

the past has always first gone

This was in spite of the fact that the

tive with compiling and presenting a
budget to Senate every year.
In the words of SA President Ar-

dures should make budgeting a lot
smoother, It’s about time the execu-
tive branch followed the constitution
and presented a budget to Senate.
Having the budget compiled by Fi-
nance Committee in the past was
ridiculous,”

Classifications
Under the new procedures the
budget will be compiled by the

executive through the arm of Cab-
inet.

All organizations have been di-
vided into one of the four classifi-
cation of Communications, Culture,
Recreation, and Government, The
Cabinet Commissioners in each of
these four fields will be responsible
for initially compiling budgets of
organizations under their jurisdic-
tion,

Marilyn Brown *66 is Commis-
sioner of Culture and William Bate
’66 is Commissioner of Recreation,
No appointments have been made for
Communications or Government.

At tomorrow's meeting the Com=
missioners will outline the new pro-
cedures, Next Saturday all organi-
zations will have to submit proposed
budgets to the Commissioners,

Tentative Ceilings

Tentative ceilings will be placed
on each of the classifications prior
to this meeting. These ceilings will
be based on an estimation of next
year’s Student Tax,

The tentative Student Tax figure
in turn will be based on projected
enrollment, on last year’s budget
(and additional appropriations), and
projected figures for the coming
fiscal year,

These figures will be formulated
today in a meeting between Ferrari
and Dr, David Hartley, Dean of
Students.

At next Saturday’s meeting the
president and treasurer of each
group will supply copies of their
proposed budget to the Cabinet Com-
missioner and the representatives
of the other organizations in the
classification,

Each budget will be dis sed
and voted on separately, Each
person in attendance, including the
members of the individual groups,
will have one vote,

The total of the budgets will yot

w..New Budget Policy

be allowed to exceed the tentative
ceiling for that classification,

Senate Approval

After passed on the Cabinet level,
the budgets will then be reviewed
by Ferrari, Johnston, and SA Vice
President Al Smith before being
presented for Senate’s considera-
tion,

Budget Committee, a sub-com-
mittee of Finance Committee, will
begin conducting open hearings on
the budget by April 22, Hearings
will hopefully be completed in a
two week period so that the final
budget can be submitted for Senate’s
approval on either May 6 or 13,

Final vote in Senate will be by

University Unity

*‘An opportunity for sharing ideas and ideals — A
New Perspective for the Future.’’ This statement
served as theme for the recently concluded Student
Government Conference here at State, and it may have
made a point of significance to the entire University.

The result of much labor and excellent planning by
a student-faculty steering committee, the conference
focused its collective attention to the formulation of
a philosophy of student government — its function and
purpose, However, the ideas and attitudes which evolved
out of this three-day assemblage transcend student gov-
ernment and, in fact, are of vital import to the entire
University community.

The tone was set when Dr. Butler, Dean of Students
at Ohio University and guest authority to the conference,
stated in his keynote address that ‘‘there must bea
constant exchange of ideas and opinions, a dialogue,
among students, faculty, and administration; the whole
University community.”

This ‘‘dialogue’ remained a integral part of the
conference, both in word and in practice, and after
three days of discussion were past, the 32 students and
15 faculty delegates seemed dedicated to its contin-
uance. Never, in recent years, had such a thing been
tried; never had so much been accomplished in the
realm of intra-university communication.

President Collins, in his summary address, pointed
out that we are indeed a ‘‘distinct and unique co:nmun-
ity’? dedicated to a common goal — “the search for
knowledge and truth through free inquiry;’’ an inquiry
that demands clear communication.

It seems, then, rather pointless that such a commun-
ity, where free channels for individual expression are
50 vital, should build walls among its various constitu-
ent parts. We are seemingly a community divided against
itself. All are striving to attain the same peak via dif-
ferent sides of the mountain,

Why is there this lack of faith and cooperation?
Don’t the students realize that the faculty have also
been students, that they are sympathetic to student
causes, and that they are dedicated to our complete
education? Don’t the faculty remember their student
days when they demanded so strongly the right to be
heard and have a voice in what was to affect them?

Are we not missing a valuable source of knowledge
and information? Cannot the experience and know-how
of the faculty and administration help enrich the ac-
tivities of the student body, and cannot the students
offer a vital source of current opinion and thought to
those who are in the position to make decisions which
will effect the entire university?

Dr. Butler mentioned that the President of Ohio had
appointed 50 students to standing university committees
and that each activity or group had at least two faculty
members who served as sources of information, ex-
perienced advisors, and helped provide ‘‘continuity in
a transitory population.” It has proven itself to
be of great advantage.

The university community as a whole might well
direct itself to two stated assumptions of this recent
conference: ‘‘there must be a broadening of attitudes
as a part of a creative change,’’ and ‘‘each person
must strive to promote free communication among all’
members of our university community.”

Housing Procedures Fair

We commend the Student Personnel Office on the
procedure it has set up for choosing residence for the

Special Schenectady School Trains
1? Retarded Children for Place in Life

by Steve Curti

As part of theirprogram
for this year, Kappa Delta
Epsilon gave a St, Patrick’s
Day party on March 21 for
students at a school for the

mentally retarded.

Route seven in Schenectady is the
location of the school, which is
headed by Mr. Walter Schofield. Mr.
Schofield spoke at a meeting of
Kappa Delta Epsilon, the women’s
education Honorary, and told the
members about the purpose and work
for the retarded being carried on at
his school.

Fifty Pupils

Fifty pupils ranging in age from
five to ten years attend this school.
As they come to class each day,
everyone of them is required todrop
a slat with his name into a gaily
colored box.

This box is similar to a time
clock, fur many of them may be

The_American Forum

lucky enough to enter the everyday
world someday.

All these pupils are retarded and
will never be able to advance beyond
the mental age of seven years, In
the various classifications made for
the mentally retarded, these stu-
dents are listed as educables and
trainables, Most of them possess
1.Q.’s of 50 and below.

Vital Function

Because the public school system
will not accept pupils with LQ,’s
below 50, schools such as Mr,
Schofield’s must exist to provide
an opportunity for these children
to make some use of themselves
to society,

Mr. Schofiel! gave an idea of
the size of tls school by saying
that there aie four teachers for
the four grace levels. The five to
ten year ol{s go to school for half
a day. There is one class for 10-15
year olds, and two classes for stu-
dents who are over 16,

To accomplish their goals, the
teachers help the children to learn
simple necessities; to memorize

Brazil Revolt Benefits
Anti-Red Carlos Lacerda

by J. R. Leo
The recent change in the Brazilian
government has been especially
beneficial to Carlos Lacerda whois,
perhaps, the most outspoken Brazil-
ian anti-communist.
Lacerda, the Governor of the
state of Guanabara and arch-foe of
deposed President
Joao Goulart has had
an interesting life
in Brazilian poli-
ties
Governor Lacerda,
the prodigious son
of a Socialist dep-
uty, began his car-
eer as a communist
journalist. In the late 1930's he
made a name as a result of his
tacks on the regime of President
Getulio Vargas,
Vargas
In 1939 he broke with the Com-
munist party which he has vigor-
ously opposed ever since. In 1945,
the same year that Eurico Dutra
was elected president of Brazil,
Lacerda entered politics and was
elected city councilor in Riv de
Janeiro and in 1948 he started his

aggrandizing power for himself.

Lacerda arranged for a meeting
with Quadros in the capital city of
Brazilia to see if there was any
basis for continuing the political
amity between them. Quadros re-
ceived him cordially but avoided
any meaningful discussion of po-
litical issues,

On an August 26, 1961 television
show, Lacerda told of his meeting
with Quadros and said, ‘The man
we elected doesn’t want to be Pres-
ident, he wants to be dictator,” On
August 27, 1961, Quadros resigned,
Lacerda’s relations with Quadros
successor, the just deposed Pres-
ident Joao Goulart, were no less

stormy.
Goulart

While only specific confrontations
between these two men, such as
the clashes over the recognition of
the U.S.S,R, and the Cuban Solidar-
ity Conference have been mentioned
in the world press, these clashes
were only incidental manifestations
of a conflict that was general in
scope

In his struggle with Lacerda,
Goulart resorted to an unsuccessful
appeal to the Congress to declare

telephone numbers and street ad-
dresses, to lace and tie their shoes,
to respect authority, to recognize
names, and to follow directions.

Craft Activiti

Several activities aim at a desire
to improve hand and eye coordina-
tion, an essential part of learning
skills. Making clothes brushes, tote
bags, and rugs often help to pro-
mote this coordination, Many of
these are sold at a profit to help
support the school.

Mr. Schofield went on to say that
many of the children, especially
the older ones, realize that there
is something ‘‘different’’ about
them, As a result they try to act
more like ‘“‘normal’’ people. These
children are often rejected at home
and seem to have almost an animal
instinct concerning the way a per-
son feels about them,

Music Appeals

Music seems to appeal to them
and is most successful in reaching
them. Nearly all of these students ~
even those that have no verbal
language at all ~ can pick out a
rhythm, It is very difficult to hold
their attention to anything besides
music for a long span of time.

Many teachers feel that the key
to the education of these children
{s repetition, Working with these
“ageless” children is perhaps more
rewarding than with normal stu-
dents, said Mr, Schofield,

They are both loveable and chal-
lenging. When they learn something,
the teacher is afforded a real sense
of accomplishment,

Qualified Teacher Rare
Not everyone would be qualified
to teach them, though, In Mr. Scho-
field's words, “being able to relate
to children, and these children in
particular is really a gift.”

A Letter From
The ASP Foster Child

Garcelia Garcia

The ASP recently received a
letter from its Poster Child,
Garcelia Garcia, an eight year
old Columbian girl. The ASP re-
ceived contributions of $180
from the students and faculty of
the University last semester for
her support for one year.

Garcelia will receive food,
clothing, and financial support
as a result of last semester's
drive.

Garcelia is one of seven

Dr. Collins Describes Unique Aspects of University Community in Summary Address at Student Goverment Conference

by

id
William B
ference.

We feel that these speeches contain much of value and interest to
the entire University, and regret that due to the limitations of space, we
are unable to print the entire text of both speeches.

Pat Cerra’s opening remarks talked about ‘‘discern-
ing our basic philosophy,’’ and repeatedly, it seemed to
me in the discussion of yesterday, we were driven back
to our need to define, to express, to spell out the things
we really believe and have been observing — not neces-
sarily to change them, but simply in order to be clear
about where we stand.

I think all of us have recognized that much of this meet-
ing has been directed to meeting that particular need,

We can’t solve tomorrow’s problems with today’s an-
swers, and certainly not with yesterday’s answers, So
there is the more need to know really what we believe,
understand our convictions, to be clear as to the simple
things, the obvious things, I think there were three im-
portant ideas we were talking about in these feed-back
sessions, ideas that we all acknowledge but that were not
clearly recognized before.

One is the idea that the University is a community
characterized by the method of intellectual inquiry or
by the pursuit of Truth. Call it what you will — it has
a nobler ring if you say it one way, than the other, but
we have talked enough about it in various ways in the last
two days to make clear what it is that we mean.

It means that we believe that method of free inquiry,
if it’s sincerely and systematically pursued, will de-
velop reasonable answers. This idea goes back to Dean
Hartley’s original presentation. The idea of the Uni-
versity involves the use of Reason, the search for
Truth,

“The University,’? you remember he said, “‘is dedi-
cated to the use of Reason and The Scientific Method
in its honest arrangements of its various elements in its
search for Truth.’? The whole procedure of this con-
ference, I would observe, illustrates the belief in this
method!

There’s a second idea that has come increasingly out
of the reports of this afternoon.

This is the idea that this is a community - that there
is a kind of unity - that this is an identifiable group —
a University. And as we talked about ‘dialogue’ and
about communication, it was all based on the idea that
there is indeed an identifiable community with interests
that are common, with memberships that are reciprocal.

The University is a ‘‘totality.’’ Groups of people,
shifting in membership, belonging to different groups
at different times of the same day, are all mutually in-
ter-dependent; and because they are mutually inter-de-
pendent, they are concerned, all of them, to participate
in all of the affairs of the community, which is the Uni-
versity.

The third idea that has emerged from discussion so
far is that the community is a different kind of society,
that it has distinctive differences that we can identify.
Yesterday we specified the ways in which it was unique.
It was interesting to me that we specified the ways in
which it was unique without really going back and ex-

amining the fact that we all accepted without question
the idea that it was indeed ynique. But so itis, And
some of the ways that we specified make that perfectly
clear, It is indeed a voluntary society, a voluntary so-
ciety not alone because we choose to enter it, and
choose to stay in it but hecause, I think, of something
more fundamental. Because it is based on the idea
of being a society for learning, and nobody can compel
anybody to learn.

We recognize in addition that the institution’s society
is transitory. That it’s homogeneous with respect to
age — on a bi-model bas, | ( isten to add — with re-
spect to intelligence, with respect to commitment to
certain important principles,

RR KR RR KR KR RR Re RR RR OK OK KR ROK

What about the implicitions and the applications of
these three principles which seem to me to be those
that emerged from thes: discussions? First, let’s
look at this characteristic of a dedication to the methods
of inquiry, to the pursuit of Truth as a way to solve our
problems.

This has implications in «|| fields, and I’m sure we’ll
keep coming back to it lvrause it’s a very important
point of reference, It means we believe, fundamentally,
in the freedom to inquire.

It means that to repr inquiry or the responsible
expression of ideas sulvJis Cir very purpose as an
intellectual community.

But, it also means thal
when we claim that freedom, When the facts are avail-
able we will not accept opinion. We hold ourselves
ready to stand a challeny: on the logic of our progres-
sion in an argument. ‘lv ipply it in specific fields, it
means, for example, with 1 spect to editorial comment
and reporting that we musi preserve freedom to criti-
cize. To repress that kind of criticism, ... subverts
our purpose as an intellectii] community.

accept the responsibility

But if this is the source of the freedom that we calim,
then the criticism itself must partake of the quality of
the intellectual community if it is to retainthat freedom.
This doesn’t mean that the criticism has to be of the
Pollyanna sort or only in approved areas,

But it means that it has tobe in good taste, it has to be
based on the relative facts, it means it has to attempt to
be thoughtful. It means its motivations have to be con-
gruent with those of the higher learning. Those are the
restrictions that we impose upon ourselves,

Let’s look at the second characteristic — our sense of
community, our sense of unity, our sense that our inter-
ests are common — that the University is, indeed, a
totality made up of groups of people shifting in member-
ship and mutually independent and therefore concerned
to participate in the affairs of the community.

We do have a chance to withdraw to some extent from
everyday concerns to take advantage of an opportunity
we’ll never again have — really to find out what we be-
lieve and to mature those beliefs so they can be usable
to us the rest of our lives.

And yet, we are at the same time, related to the out-
side community. We have to acknowledge these outside
pressures. We have to acknowledge that the whole com-
munity is the organ of the larger society.

Academic and intellectual life of the community is not
separable from the emotional and other aspects of the
same man’s life. There can he no sharp separation of
a man’s intellectual life from his moral and emotional
life. So the question becomes, and we haven’t answered
it, what standards do we set for our own community?

Do we stand for something? What is it that we stand
for? These are questions that the group hasn’t addressed
itself to yet. But I would point out that the clear implica-
tion of our statement that we are indeed a community is
that we should answer some of these questions,

The thfrd idea is the conviction that our community is,
indeed, a different kind of society. We have long lists now
of the unique attributes of this society andthe whole idea

that we’ve really been discussing here makes clear that
we think i’s a different kind of society.

The whole idea of discussion, the whole idea of ‘‘dia-
logue’’ assumes good faith on the partof the other fellow.
It assumes that he is a reasonable man. All these as-
sumptions are essential because otherwise we really
can’t assume that truth is going to prevail.

In the same way, our assertions about the inter-depen-
dence and the involvement of everybody in this peculiar
kind of society that we have means that must indeed be
in continual consultation on all matters.

And, it’s for this reason, as we’ve indicated that
there needs to be representation; people who are having
the experience and who are in a position to comment on
it have valuable information to give. This is the right
of consultation. This is essentially a characteristic of
this society of ours.

Not the right to make decisions, not the right to tell
the president what his decision should be, but the oppor-
tunity to influence decisions at every point by cogent,
compelling, valid arguments.

We must provide more and more opportunities for this,
This is the idea that points the way to the future.

President Collins stresses the uniqueness of the University community in
his summary address.

My comments are to be considered only springboards for futher discussion and, perhaps,
to stimulate your thinking in the area of student affairs and student leadership. For the next
30 minutes, I will talk with you about Student Problems in the 1960's, and during the final ten
minutes I want to talk specifically about my own observations dealing with student government.

If we examine our college campus at the end of 1963, we can conclude that student problems
today are significantly different from those we faced only four or five years ago. 1! we change
as much during the next five years, what can.we expect some of our major problems to be?
It is essential that we examine student trends and student problems so that we can do a better
Job of meeting these problems during the next five years, Most student problems are predictable
and many of them are measurable.

I feel that an important part of my job as Dean of Students is to inform our campus, our admin
istration and faculty of these problems so that the various elements of the University can sue
and better understand the issues, A good sympathetic understanding of campus problems miy
help during difficult moments when tempers flare and issues become emotional and out of per-
spective.

When faculty and administration have not gained proper perspective and a crisis arises,
the University community protests then viewing the issue as a normal predictable outcome
of student or cultural trends, in my day-to-day work on campus I have identified the following
trends of our present day society which may create campus problems during the next five years

1. We are witnessing today a conflict of values, Today our campus is nade up of many subgroups
which come from many walks of life in the United States and world,

We see students Involved in pre-marital sex relationships in a greater number today than we
did a decade ago, Last spring, Ihadan opportunity to visit with the Director of Indiana University’s
Institute for Sex Research ~ formerly known as the Kersey Research Foundation. Dr, Paul
Gebhard confirmed my own bellevs that our students are experiencing more premarital relations
today than they did a few years ago, He further predicted that the experience will be even greater
@ decade from now.

I would Mke to call your attention to the January, 1963 issue of the Journal of the National
Association of Women Deans ond Counselors. ‘This issue 1s devoted to student sex standards
and behavior and points out of educator’s responsibilities for working with this important problem,
Just this week, April 6,1964 issue of Newsweek carried a most revealing and frank view of
‘morals on the campus’’ today,

I personally wonder about the impact our University has upon the value systems and character
development of our student? I wonder about the University’s responsibility in the area of values,
Pre-marriage counseling, personal counseling and the like, It is my feeling that one cannot over-
look today the need for the University to develop adequate counseling programs for the stfdents
and to view the college student as a‘'whole’’ person who is involved in more than the “intellectual
chase,”

2, A second trend is that of our rapidly changing society. ft bec vies commonplace today for an
older brother to refer to the actions of his younger brother with “What has gotten into Jonny???
“LT never did those things.!’ This 48 but one indication of the rapid change in our way of life
and it suggests to me that our college students will test us from day to day on University policy
which may appear to be vut of date to them,

Dr, J, Robert Operheimer estimated that prior to World War IL the accumulation of knowledge
doubled itself every fifty years, Since World War Ul, Dr, Operheuner estimates that the world
of knowledge doubles itself ever, ten years, Certainly such rapid change in our technological
suciety 18 felt from day to day on the college campus

. The confusion and turmoil created by a conflict in values and the rapid change in out
suciety creates tension and fears among the students i our colleges, Consequently one wonders
from day to day when the student population will strike out against old ideas, One wonders
whether or not the college student will seek an orderly expression of lis new ideas ur be openly
rebellious against society's values and ideas in expressing lis uew ideas

4, Another trend that | believe | is that of our society becoming more and more demanding
of its legislative and political bodies, The public is beginning to hold back in (he amount of taxes
it 18 willing to be assessed, Universities and colleges and all other forms of state and national
governments are being asked to critically examine their budgets, All programs which cannot
be justified in terms of dollars and cents will undoubtedly be terminated,

This is all true in spite of the large population inereases in our society and on the college
campuses today, In the future, we can expect a larger number of students and a smaller amount
of dollars and cents to educate these students,
+8, Another trend that | see is the changing nature of our colleges’ und universities. 13
of the lack of lunds, in some cases, and because of a change in philosophy inother
see colleves and universities becuming more selective in their adiuissions prograns,

Today, colleges and universities are beginning to say that ouly students who have perform
better than average in high school may enter, The time has come when students will not \«
permitted to walk in and enroll on the opening day of classes. Many colleges and universities
have established a deadline of July 1 or July 15, after which a student may not enroll for the fall
semester. We will see higher standards placedon our students because of the increase in knowledge
and because of the demands that are betng placed upon faculty members to develop quali!
education programs.

We expect honors programs to increase in number on all campuses and we expect more atteutic
to be paid to the high ability student, We might witness the all university grade point averay
going down each semester for several consecutive semesters just because of the tougheniiy
up process’’ placed on the members of the faculty to demand more of their students.

During the next five years, we can expect to examine critically the concept of ‘in loco parentis.
The university at one time was viewed as a parent substituted for the student - and colleves
were expected to look after their sons and daughters.

In the next few years, we will exceed 15,000 students at Ohio University and your institutw1
will exceed 10,000 students. This fact alone raises.a question as to whether or not we can continiir
with this type of philosophy, One wonders whether a university can place restrictions on 15,00
different individuals fron 15,000 different ways of life to ‘keep them out of trouble’ duriny
a given academic year. We know this is impossible and yet we have not communicated these
matters to the parents very well.

Tt seems to me that we must communicate a new philosophy to the fathers and mothers. |
Parents have not trained their children well before they come to the college campus they shoul!
Probably keep their sons and daughters home until such time that they are able to meet the mun
challenges of a large and complex university campus.

In examining a changing institution, one wonders about the image that we are representing to tl
public, Why are you attracting students to New York State University? Is it because you offer «
Good general education? Is it because of your faculty's reputation? Is it because of your gratusts
programs which will eventually enrich your undergraduate programs

Is it because your university has developed a reputation for being a socia! minded campu
{t because of the reputation which you have developed for being a friendly and understanding insti
tution? It seems to’ me that during the next five years your institution and mine will need to «
amine very carefully its image and answer the question of why we are attracting students to out
college campuses °

Another interesting facet of the changing college campus relates to the aggressiveness «
boldness of our students today, Our students no longer feel restricting in “testing the Lut
of their college environment, Perhaps this is true because a good many of our students tds
come from second generation college families, Lain sure that several years ago when a Unive
sity dean found it necessary to say “go home! the student would go without question.

Today this is not necessarily so, Usually the first question which is asked today 1s, “Now
whom do T appeal tis decision?” Lam sure that the very fact that students challenge
so rigorously will contribute te the uitiation of lawsuits in the future against student
adiniuistrators. Tain sure that parents will question judietal bodies and thas fact will fores
develop carefully the procedures and policies for dropping students from the university. M
Fe tala gait we question as to whi 1s legally responsible? ‘The dean’? “tne stu

foreign students today studying on college campuses in the U.S.A, Our students have a better
understanding of social issues, of international problems, and I feel there is greater awareness
un the student of today.

b. I mentioned that there is an increase in aggressiveness on the part of our students in ex-
pressing their opinions. student government officers will not be content to be quiet during the
next five years, Campus leaders feel that ‘‘the wheel that squeeks the loudest gets the grease,”
They see this same philosophy at work inthe state and national political groups and they will begin
to apply this same philosophy on the college campus, Actually, it is our duty to help our students
express their views in an acceptable and responsible manner.

c, There is a trend today on the partof college students (o challenge all authority. A student
will ask the question ‘Who says so?” It is our responsibility to help make students a part of the
authority rather than to watch them fight against it. This year, President Alden at Ohio Univer-
sity has appointed over 50 students to standing university committees.

d. It is true that higher education is in the public spotlight today more so than ever before.
We have witnessed this trend in the State of Ohio in recent months, In addition, one sees more in
print today in magazines and periodicals dealing with issues in higher education,

“Sex on the College Campus” is a popular subject today and we are bound to hear more of this
subject during the next five years, The fact that higher education 1s 1 the spotlight forces all of
us’ » interpret the nature of the university more carefully than we have ever done in the past, We
muBt be prepared to explain and defend what we are doing, more so during the next five years than
we have in the past.

e. It will be necessary to integrate the total educational environment of our students, We
snow that our students are being educated twenty-four hours a day — in the classroom and out-
side. What they do outside the classroom today may affect their values and character as much
4 what we will be doing within the classroom, The fact that at Ohio University we will have sixty
per cent of all our students living in dormitories next year places special responsibility on the
student personnel staff to develope a fine residence halls program which will be concerned with
something moré than the mere housing of students,

What Then are Some Recommendations for Consideration?
1. Each of us, personnel deans, faculty members and student leaders must help our students
achieve an optimum balance betweew authority on the one hand aud freedom on the other. ‘The
fudents are requesting that we do so, We must be willing to give our students more respousibility
for their own actions, How much freedom we grant and low much authority we give our students
will be dependent in part upon the educational objectives and philosophy of your university
2. We must seek ways ty decentralize as much as possible all functions within the student per-
wel program, Every person in the program must be professionally skilled and willing to as-
wine responsibility for a certain part of the program, ‘The area of responsibility delegated ty an
sdiuinistrator or a student leader iust be bandied in an eftechve and an efficient manner, [tis
longer possible for one person te imake all of the inpertant decisions of the university
His equally important that our students be made to feel areal part of the overall educa

Student Government Conference

defeat our effectiveness as administrators and educators.
Finally, in the area of student government | would like to make the following observations:
1, Examine your program from a functional point of view rather than a structural point of
view. Too often our students become boggded down with procedure and structure, and therefore,
they forget about function. Ask yourselves, what do we hope to accomplish this year? For what
purpose do you exist? What are your expectations? Unless your organization is meaningful to
students, you will only try to keep alive a dead organization.

2. Student Government, in my opinion, isnot apolitical organization for the purpose of grooming
young people Interested in politics, parliamentary procedure, serving as a pressure group and
the like. Perhaps, even, Roberts Rules of Order are obsolete.

3. Unfortunately student government officers come and go each year. There is rapid turnover
of leadership which makes it almost impossible for student leaders to keep up with the current
issues on today’s campus. At one time, I am told, the University of California’s student body ran
all of student affairs on campus. Today’s ‘Multiversity’’ as President Clark Kerr calls it, is
much too complex for student government to be deciding who shall be the next football coach and
the like.

4. Another observation which comes largely from faculty is that student government has been
long overrated, Serious students today are not interested ina big side show. They want to do
something important, Their aspirations are high. They recognize and feel the stress and strain of
academic life,

College life today is much inore difficult that 1t was when I was in college in the late 1940's,
Thus, the adding of more complexities to college life through weak student government organiza-
lions may be hindering the student, Briefly stated, I believe that student government should be
primarily concerned with providing services which will promote the learning and development of
the student, so that the university's objectives are attainable.

5, I know that today’s college student has already experienced some type of student government
in high school. On our own campus we conduct summer workshops for student council leaders
from all over the State of Oho, By the time they reach my campus er yours, they have had their
fill of “self-governmen Usually the high school experience leaves a bad taste in their mouths
because cf the over organization in high schoo,

6. You may wish to ask at tus point, how then, do we make student government ito 4 functional
program and deal with the current campus and world issues, T submit to you the following for con-
siderations

a. Organize a student-facully-adiunistrave review committee tor

1, Consider new and fresh ideas for student governinent

Subunit recommendations to the Dean of Students office for the solution of student

b, Create a student press conterence to examine openly the campus issues of these days.
Student leaders und members of the faculty) and adinduastrative oiicers would be invited to par
Ueipate. Students would be tree to direct any questions to meinbers of the administrative panel.
By open and tank discussion, perhaps, the academe community could focus upon some of the
hore significant issues with which student government can be ivulved.

© Finally, at stil another Jevel, as that of the creation of a Parents Advisory Committee
(PAC), ‘Two years ago we, a1 Ohié University did just that, We asked, how can we Involve par-
ents Of outstanding students in the affairs of our uversity. The parents have become a sounding

2. Should students be required tw attend classes?

3. To what degree should students be 1volyed tithe policy -tiaking decisions of our university?

1. What are the expectations of today’s parents toward the role of 4 mugern university?

Let me conclude my remarks by saying that what I bave tied to say is that the Job of each of us

Is ty accept the student where he 1s and tu provide te kind of opportunities he needs to grow at @
imaximum sate. In other words 1 aim endorsing the State Umversity’s motto, “Let each become

recognize that the college campus 1s rapidly changing and we must recognize some of (he forces

Current Comment

Republican Prospects Seem Dimmer
In Next Fall’s State Elections

by. Joseph W. Golu

‘The position of the New York
State Republican party in this No-
vember’s general election is not
@ strong one.

Despite the fact that the GOP
controls both houses of the state
legislature, the congressional dele-
gation, the governorship, and both
federal senatorships, many indica-
tions show a rising tide in favor
of the Democrats,

The Republicans are faced with
declining enrollment, the rise of
the Conservative party, the unpopu-
larity of Gov. Rockefeller’s pro-
gram, and increased Democratic
strength on Long Island and in up-
state New York.

Morgins Are Now Slim
While the Republicans control both
the State Senate and thé Assembly,
their margins have been reduced
markedly. Democrats have picked
up seats in Erie County and the
boroughs of the Bronx and Queens.
Democrats also have picked up a
Senate seat in Schenectady and Scho-
harie counties and one assembly
seat in each of Oneida, Monroe, and
Cayuga counties.

The Conservative party is a ser-
fous threat to the Republican party.
It has been mistakenly dismissed by
many people as being nothing more
than an expression of anti-Rocke-
feller feeling.

In the 1962 general elections the
Conservatives became a legal party
by obtaining 50,000 votes for their
gubernatorial candidate, Their can-
didate, Jaquith, easily exceeded the
requirement in polling more than
140,000 votes,

In 1963 the Conservatives ran
candidates in four of the five bor-
oughs of New York City. These
four candidates received a greater
vote than did Jaquith in the city,
despite a smaller turn out of voters.

The significance of this Conser-
vative vote has been ignored by
most politicians and most news-
Papers.

Elections Sign of Party Loyalty
The elections have members of the
State Court of Appeals, the highest

court in the state, have indicated the
rising tide within the Democratic
Party.

In 1962 the Democratic candidate
for the court was elected but only
by having the votes of both the
Democratic and Liberal parties. In
1963 the candidate put up by the
Democrats was endorsed by the
Republicans and the Liberals,

Thus Francis Bergen was elected
with the support of three major
Parties.

Bergen polled more votes as a
Democrat than he did as a Repub-
lcan, This means that Bergen ran
about 300,000 votes better than did
Kennedy when he ran in 1960,

Rocky's Influence
Rockefeller will not be on the
Republican ticket this year, unless
he obtains the Presidental nomina-
tion, Rockefeller, while he has been
able to obtain the votes of many in-
dependently liberal Democrats in
New York City, is not popular in
upstate New York,

His divorce hurt him with many
voters; his remarriage hurt him
with many more. His willingness to
spend his time outside New York
State has not endeared him with the
voters who are generally dissatis-
fied.

Rockefeller’s program has been
watered down in the last two years
due to the tightness of his budget.
He has attempted to increase tax
dollars by creating independent
agencies which borrow monies
which are not considered debts of
the state.

He has also attempted to maintain
his “pay-as-you-go’’ method by
abandoning many parts of his pro-
gram.

He failed to obtain any effective
reform of the liquor laws, he let
die the proposal to repeal the state’s
antiquated full-crew law, and he
appears to be accepting large parts
of watered down conflict of interest
statute,

Faced with these problems and
the prospect of New York giving
President Johnson a 750,000 vote
plurality. the Republicans face more
difficulties than most press releases
admit.

books to entei the book contest
sponsored by the Co-op. It seemsto
me that those people who do not
collect records, have no way to
exhibit their collecting skills at the
present time, other than through
their friends,

I also propose this contest because
today records are just as impor-
tantly reviewed as books have always
been. Record reviews are standard
features of The Saturday Review,
Hootenanny, The Times Union of
Albony, ond The New York Times,
and have recently been featured
in the ASP.

Thus I present this idea to the
student body, Hoping someone or
some group will wish to carry
it out. I also think that it will
help to strengthen our cultural at-
mosphere that Toni Mester, Dr.
Adams, and most recently Cynthia
Goodman have paid so much kind
attention to.

Students Seek Easy Way
Toward Intellectual Ideal

To the Editor:

Permit us to say the final words
in the existing controversy which is
attempting to decide whether or not
the intellectual atmosphere at State
is satisfactory. The current and
most offensive complaint is that no,
or very few, intellectual benefits
are offered to students; while those
who oppose this view claim that stu-
dents, while thirsting for such op-
portunities, have not the time be-
cause of academic pursuits tobene-
fit from those which are presented,

Each school of thought can be re-
duced to the primary complaint that
the student at State is not brought
into enough contact with the in-
tellectual element.

Intellectualism can be defined as
a collective of minds of intelligent
persons, By implication, this means
Persons (in the case of students)
who are willing. indeed eager, to
pursue knowledge, to formulate
ideas, and to develop a concept
of existence and reality, For, the
intellectual student realizes that,
in shaping himself in school, he is
preparing ‘imself for the future -
the future in which he will accept
leadership and face responsibility.

Need we raise the question of
how the greater percentage of State
students compare with these stan-
dards? Examine each point, Pursue
Knowledge? The only knowledge pur-
sued is that critical ‘inside infor-
mation’ of; which teachers are the
easiest, which assign the least work,
which give the easiest tests and the
highest grades. Next in importance:
is: which exams are on file, which
exams never change, and which
exams were given yesterday. The

only skill pursued is that of
“throwing a paper together’’ the
night before it is due. Last, but
not least, is the obscene practice
of securing outline guides which free
the student from ever reading as-
signments and guarantee at least
the almighty C’’ in each course.
The goal to which students dedicate
themselves is that of doing the
least amount of work. Such is the
eager pursuit of knowledge here
at State,

The general condition of a
student’s ideals vies for the gutter
position of his pursuit of knowl-
edge. Goals consist of avoiding work,
learning as many first names as
possible, and consuming the max-
imum quantity of beer that funds
allow, These ‘goals’? form the basis
upon which students formulate their
philosophies, their views of reality-
the philosophies and views that each
will carry to the world when his
education is completed.

Upon this foundation - the shrink-
ing from pursuit of knowledge, the
social and not intellectual goals,
the idea of doing as litle as possible
- the bare minimum - will be
Huilt the world ten years hence,

And yet, the very students who
further such degradations raise au-
dacious voices and cry that they
are not presented with enough intel-
lectual opportunities. These oppor -
tunities, 1f presented as infifiitum
would still illicit no response in
the form of attendance from the
majority of State students. The
effort would go unheeded, except
for the exclamations arising to the
effect of “Oh yes, in addition to
the excellent grades I receive, I
aim an intellectual.”

Camus’ Literary Diary Revealing

by J. A. Gomez

Albert Camus, Notebooks 1935-1942,
Alfred Knopf, 224pp., $5.00

At the age of twenty-two, Albert
Camus began to write a type of
literary diary, which he continued
to keep until his untimely death in
1960.

Although Camus never originally
intended these diaries or notebooks
to be published, in 1954 he made a
corrected copy of the first seven
books. The first three of these books
appear in Notebooks 1935-1942.

Recurring Themes

The major recurring themes vi
these youthful notebooks are drawn
mainly from Camus’ Algerian en-
vironment and his early attempts
at writing a novel.

The notebooks present an infor-
mative and interesting picture of
Camus, the writer. Although not
altogether missing, Camus, the man,
remains somewhat elusive.

The personal ‘‘I’’ is missing, and
all direct autobiographical incidents
are hidden within an ‘‘objective’’
frame of expression.

Strong emotional feelings are not
completely devoid in these note-
books, but often they are submerged
deep within stylistic exercises.

Witness ‘‘Letter to a man in des-
pair.’’ In this answer to a hypo-
thetical letter, Camus seems to
express his own feelings about the
horrors of the war, the stupidity of
society, and the possible hope of a
compromise treaty in the early
years of World War Il,

Lyrical Element

The early notebooks are espe-
cially effective in displaying a lyri-
cal side of the author’s style and
his youthful attraction to an “in-

stinctive communion’? with nature.

“A day of sunshine and clouds,
The cold spangled with yellow. I
ought to keep a diary of each day’s

Theatre Review

weather, The fine, transparent
sunshine yesterday. The bay trem-
bling with light like a moist lip...
I am linked to the world by every-
thing I do, to men with all the
gratitude I feel ’’

Philosophy ond the Novel
Many entries contain the seed-
lings of philosophical ideas which
were to reach full bloom in later
novels and essays, The ideas of
the absurd and tragic awareness
of death which permeate his major
novels are pondered over in these
early notebooks.

For Camus, philosophical ideas
and the genre of the novel are in-
timately linked together, ‘A novel
is never anything but a philosophy
put into images. And inagood novel,
the whole of the philosophy has
passed into the images,’

Within the pages of the first two
notebooks, the events, ideas, and
characters of Camus’ proposed first
novel, La Mort Heureuse , are slowly
metamorphosed into the framework
of Camus’ actual first novel,
L'Etranger.

The somewhat unsatisfied and de-
liberate Patrice Mersault becomes
the indifferent Meursault, Charac-
ters and incidents are abandoned;
others are transformed into inci-
dents and characters of L'Etranger.
The ‘invincible summer’ of the
Algerian setting, however, remains
roughly the same,

Conscious Stylist
In The Plague, the character
Grand spends bis life working on
the “perfect” first sentence of a
novel, The example is both strange

and extreme, but like his character,
Camus, in a less extreme manner,
is an especially conscious ‘stylist
He wrote seven versions of The
Foll and numerous versions of his
other works,

The Notebooks provide the reader
with an opportunity to compare the
imagery and idea of many early
fragments with the final versions in
the early novels,

It must be noted, however, that
many of the short observations of
Algerian life and the recordings of
actual conversation are incorpor-
ated into the novels without any
significant change.

Contract to Pavese

It is interesting to contrast the
diaries of Cesare Pavese with the
Notebooks of Camus, Like Camus,
Pavese began writing his diary in
1935 and continued to keep a diary
until his death,

In many respects, both writers
have much in common. Both were
influenced by some of the same
writers; both had early, unhappy
love affairs, and both flirted with
the Communist movement.

Whereas Camus’ diary does not
even mention the two latter points,
Pavese’s journal is a deep pene-
tration into the black abyss of pro-
longed introspection,

In The Burning Brand: 1935-1950,
Pavese, the tortured, tormented hu-
man being, painfully emerges from
each page. In Notebooks 1935-1942,
Camus, the controlled, concise wri-
ter, comes to the fore.

Weak Script, Characterizations movie Review
Undermine ‘Once Upon a Mattress’

by Roberto Trenknen

Despite the attempt at ‘“sophis-
tication” and topical satire, Once
Upon a Mattress got off the ground
only in the song sequences. The
weak book is redeemed by Mary
Rodger’s lilting music, Marshall
Baker’s clever lyrics, colorful cos-
tuming, and exceptionally fine acting
by several actors.

The play began in earnest when
Rosanne Ferrara first appeared de-
claring “I’m Shy!’ Each time Miss
Ferrara appeared, the whole stage
seemed to crackle with energy.
She belted out her songs with clarity,
ease, and charm.

Lobdell Versatile

Jim Lobdell, as the mute king,
expressed more without words than
did many of the characters with
vocal roles, His movements were
hot limited to the broad gesturing
which made this role comic. He
expressed volumes with the quirk
of an eyebrow or the shrug of a
shoulder.

Jack Tkatch and Bill Morgan,
as the Jester and Minstrel, made
a delightful trio accompanied si-
lently by the king in ‘The Minstrel,
the Jester, and I’ which they sang
in the hall of the palace.

Weak Setting

‘The hall was represented by a drop
depicting three arches, This drop’
was the weakest part of the set
both visually and physically because
it waved and crackled when anyone
touched it or hid behind it. Realism
was not the keynote of the play,
hor should it have been, but the
drop should have been reinforced
because it was a bit disturbing:
to see a stone wall that moved
with @ will of its own,

Pat Faéano, playing the Queen,
am-rollered through her lines.

She was funny, as she always is,
but first and furemost she was Pat
Fasano, Aggravain had no shading
or nuance of volce interpretation
to distinguish her from any of the
other bossy women which Miss
Fasano has played.

Mary Setter, petite and pretty
as Lady Larkin, looked lovely and
helpless, but when she sang she
was straining her voice. Unfortu-
nately, no one had thought to lower
the key of the music, so Miss
Setten’s voice, which is sweet and
delicate when the notes are within
her range, was forced and weak

Prince Dauntless, played by Frank
Ryerson, came across as the weak
mama's boy that he was supposed
to be, Art Putnam, as Sir Harry
could have bee: much stronger.

Bill Laundry as the Wizard was
sneaky and sly but not sneaky nor
sly enough. The role was not a
big one: however a great deal more
could have been done with it,

Weak Characterizations

Generally, the main problem with
the characters that fell short of
expectations was that the roles were
understated when they should have
been played more vividly, The cos-
tumes helped the characterization
by giving individuality to each player
and by creating a colorful stage
picture. Someone should have shown
the courtiers how to move in the
long gowns; they moved as if they
were in street clothes and lost
most of the effect which the flowing
gowns should have produced,

Once Upon a Mattr provided
a pleasant evening even with the
shortcomings which were inherent
in the musical itself, Miss Lee
Liss, the director, did a more than
adequate job, and, in spots a mem~-
orable one, with a show which had
only the music and lyrics to rec~
ommend it,

American and foreign folk music.
His Friday evening lecture dealt
with the relation of folk music to
various cultures throughout the
world. The lecture was followed by
a reception at which he and several
groups performed informally,

Saturday’s program included af-
ternoon workshops in the fields of
folk instrument technique, folk art,
music, and culture, and folk music
collecting.

Saturday Hootenanny

At 8:00 p.m, Saturday evening,
an audience of 1400 crowded the
Hamilton College gymnasium for a
Hootenanny presented by guest
groups from eleven colleges includ-
ing Elmira College, Syracuse Unt-
versity, Colgate University, Bard
College, Utica College, Wells Col-
lege, Hamilton and Hartwick Col-
leges, and the State University of
New York at Brockport and Albany,
The Milt Cavendish Trio closed the
two-and-one-half hour program with
four songs and were called back for
two encores, They have been asked
to appear again at Hamilton’s spring
weekend, May Ist and 2nd,

Poor Editing Makes ‘Cleo’ Choppy

by Paul M. Jensen

In filming the now-legendary
Cleopatra, director Joseph L, Man-
kiewicz shot about 140 hours of
film. Eight different writers were
used at various points, and for some
time the script was being written
only twenty-four hours before it was
filmed.

The final estimation of the cost
was about $40 million, but withover
$15 million taken in in advance of
its premiere it was already the
eighth highest grosser in the world,

The film opened in New York with
a length of 4 hours and 3 minutes,
but was immediately reduced by 22
minutes, It is this version that is
now in general release, and it is in
this form that it must be judged.

As it stands now, the first hour
and forty-five minutes, up to the
death of Caesar, is very good, The
dialogue is all that one would ex-
pect frum Joseph L. Manklewicz—
bright, witty, intelligent, And it
is delivered with just the right
aplomb by Rex Harrison, who 1s
excellent as Julius Caesar, Miss
Taylor manages to hold her own
during this part, too, J.L.M. (The
Mank"’) seems well on the way to
his goal of an intelligent, civilized
spectacle.

Imposing Spectacle

As for the spectacle itself, the
entrance into Rome is excellent,
with the concluding wink by Miss
Taylor a fine, human touch.

The presentation of Caesar's as-
sassination through the augury fires
of Cleopatra was, however, cheating
a bit by avoiding dialogue and ex-
pecting the viewer to assume that
such fires are possible, Also, things
happen too soon and too fast once
Cleopatra arrives in Rome, perhaps
due to the cuts suffered by the film.

But, on the whoie, this section is
very good, and could have been even
better had it been released by itself
as a two-and-a-quarter-hour film,
The same would probably be true if
the second half had veen released
in a separate, expanded form,

In its present condition, the pic-
ture seems to fall apart after the
intermission, It may be that no one
was sure about Antony's part, but
then again it may only appear that
way because of the cutting and
elimination,

Although, except for an occasional
line, the wit disappears, this is
all right because four hours of wit
tends to get tedious, However, there
seems to have been nothing with
which to replace it.

Burton Boring

Burton wanders about, boozing
and expounding about very little of
consequence, As he flirts with Cleo
and fluctuates back and forth between
liking her and not wanting to go
along with her, it gets, I’m afraid,
quite boring.

This felony is compounded by the
editing — the setting jumps from
home to Egypt to Athens (even!)
without warning and the only way
to tell where we are is to listen
until someone says, ‘Well, here
we are in Rome,"

Poor Editing

Indeed, the main problem here
seems to be the editing, for there
are some good lines, some very ef-
fective directorial touches, some
very good shots and even some ex-
citing scenes in this nonetheless
generally boring hour anda quarter.

Examples are Antony hiding in
the shadows as Octavian’s men talk
to Cleopatra; the sea battle, which
does what Ben Hur’s didn’t, thanks
to good director and real ships;
and Cleo standing alone on @ large

white area that fills the screen,

Burton expounds, as if to cover
up the fact that no one really knows
what's going on, His beautiful voice,
remarkable though it is, is not suf-
ficient to mask the vacuity of much
of the dialogue. This entire part of
the film {s haphazard and uncertain,

The last forty-five minutes do
perk up, however, and give cause to
speculate on the quality it could have
had if released on its own, with
more and lighter scenes,

As Antony finally takes himselfin
hand, discovers his soldiers are
gone, and rides out against Octa-
vian’s troops alone, some emotion,
feeling and excitement are once
again generated, And, despite some
jumpy continuity in the later death
scene, again due to cutting 1 sup-
pose, this last part is pretty good,

The photography is nice, the sets
are exceptionally grand and the di-
rection is often good but, for a good
Part of the picture, the drama has
ended up on the cutting room Noor,

NOTICES

Due to the lack of space in this
week's issue my column did not
appear, much to the dismay of the
senior editor. Fear not, the col-
umn will be back in next week’s

paper,
The Sports Editor

Golf
All frosh who are interested in
playing on the frosh golf team, see
Coach Sauers as soon as possible,

Gary chipped in with a .327 aver-
age. Smith, the regular first base-
man, also captained the soccer team
this year. Coach Burlingame is
hoping that Smith will be able to get
into shape in the limited time that
his student teaching allows.

The other returning .300 hitter is
Junior Don McGurrin. Don batted
.312 during the 1963 campaign. Mike
Putney, second baseman, is another
returning regular who Coach Bur-
lingame is counting on for a good
year.

The infield is all set except for
third base which is a toss-up. The
outfield positions are also wide open.
Paul Harney, Tony Macaluso, and
Pete Daddabbo all saw limited out-
field action last year. Coach Bur-
lingame {is expecting help in this
area from Chuck Mastrangelo who
hit well for the frosh last year,

Other men up from the freshman
team are Pep Pezullo, Don Mason,
Bill Bate, and Steve Trowbridge.
Pezullo batted .311 for the frosh.
His good speed and strong fielding
is expected to bolster the Ped in-
field,

Mason caught for the freshman.
Bate and Trowbridge were pitchers
who are trying to solve the team’s
pitching problems. Also, Dick Kim-
ball, who saw some pitching action
on the varsity last year, is hoped
to bolster the pitching.

Countess Tolstoy

¥) Wednesday evening, in
the Lower Lounge of Bru-
bacher Hall, a large au-
dience heard Countess
Alexandra Tolstoy, daugh-

ter of the Russian author,
Count Leo Tolstoy speak about her
father, Countess Tolstoy related in-
cidents in her father’s life, and out-
lined his philosophy during the var-
ious phases of lus liteary career,
To Count Leo Tolstoy, life was
always a striving, aimed at doing
better and fulfilling spiritual values,
He was a good man who loved his
fellows despite their condition of
servitude,
Countess Tolstoy was secretary
to her father trom 1921 to 1927,
yrPuring this time she copied and
corrected his manuscripts, and was
present during the Visits whic liimany
literary greats made tu the Tolstoy
home. Among these were included
Chekov, and Maxim Gorki,

Family Provided Characters

Probably the best known of Tol-
stoy’s works is the masterful novel
War and Peace, In this, as in
Anna Karenina in his later novels
such as Resurrection, Tolstoy drew
his characters and principles from
his surroundings, many times using
the qualities to be found in members
of his own family,

In writing War and Peace, Tolstoy
studied the actual physical environ-

ent in which the Napoleonic Wars
involving Russia and France took
Place.

While writing Anna Karenina Tol-
stoy underwent a change in his phil-
osophy, His inteest in life became
sparked with a desire to fulfill the
will of God as he interpreted it, and

The money was to be used to
Pay for a part of the bill for the
Council’s guest artists, In the
fall, D & A was under the impres-
sion it had $250 more than they
needed,

The money was volunteered to
the budget cutting group. It now has
been revealed that the group was
mistaken in thinking they did not
need the extra money,

The reasoning behind the defeat
of the proposal was based on the
alleged non-compliance by D & A
Council with Senate financial rules,
Senators and non-senators ex-
Pressed the hope that the money
could come from the income of the
group.

Statesmen Represents University

Statesmen, a non-credit course
composed of 26 male voices, re-
quested $200.00 for transportation,
This money was granted and will be
used for travel to and from the
World’s Fair. They will sing in the
New York State pavilion on Univer-
sity Day, May 9.

The discussion on this request
‘was highlighted by a brief statement
by Patricia Fasano '65,a member of
MYSKANIA, She advocated passage
of the proposal onthe ground that the
group will provide excellent repre-
sentation of the university.

Roberta Joslin '65 was approved
as Election Commissioner with 39
of the 42 members present voting
in the affirmative.

This Student Tax figure is based
an an estimated enrollment of 3100
full-time undergraduate, and 200
full-time graduate, students next
year.

The entire Student Association
Budget will be limited to a ceiling
of $91,000 next year, These figures
were announced by Arthur Ferrari
‘66, Commissioner of Finance, at
the initial meeting of Cabinet Min-
isters and the heads of budgetary
organizations last Friday.

The Communications on campus
will be limited to a total of $39,700
in the 1964-65 budget, Culture re-
ceived a ceiling of $24,600,

Organizations under Recreation

and Government will be limited to
tutals of $19,700 and $7,000 res-

pectively,

Commissioner Ferrari felt that
these figures are a satisfactory
solution to the problem of budget-
ing.

“On the one hand, the organiza-
ons honestly want to grow, On
the other, we have to watch the
student's pocket books. I think these
figures draw the line pretty well,’

The budgetary organizations in
each classification will be required
to stay within the ceilings set for
their classifications.

The heads of these organizations
will meet tomorrow to present their
proposed budgets to their respective
Cabinet Commisioners, This will
be the first step in obtaining final
Senate approval of next year’s pro-
Posed budget.
