FRIDAY. DECEMBER 8, 1967 YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY ?c Volume 45?No. 10 ? ?????? ? * * ?1111 Constitution Committee Chairman DENNIS LaRUE Funds are now available to student organizations who wish to sponsor speakers, announced Sidney Roberts, Professor of History and chairman of the newly formed Special Lecture Series Student- Faculty Committee. "The purpose of this program is to stimulate the students, and to con tribute to the overall objectives of the University," states Mr. Roberts. "We welcome alt suggestions from students ,and the success or failure of this program depends on the stu dents' response." Student organizations are invited to submit formal requests for speak ers to Mr. Roberts, with the under standing that the organization will assume all responsibilities other than the financing of the speaker. Stu. dents may consult a large file of available speakers in Mr. Roberts office. Last year there were two commit tees responsible for speakers who appeared on campus. One committee was the Skcggs Lecture Series, held in honor of the late Leonard T. Skeggs, Sr., former secretary of the Youngstown YMCA and an instru mental figure in the founding of Youngstown University. The series presented Theodore C. Sorensen, who spoke on "The Leg acy of. JFK", and Dr. Max Lerner, who spoke on the "Five Revolutions in American Life". The lectures were supported by the Skeggs Foun dation which was established by the Skeggs family. The -chairman of this committee was Sidney Roberts. The second committee was the Assembly Committee, whose chair- man was Edith Painter. This year a single speakers com mittee has been established under the title of The Special Lecture Ser ies Student-Faculty Committee. Fa culty members include Sidney Rob erts, chairman, Samuel Badal, Fred erick Blue, Margaret Braden, Irwin Cochn, Sylvan Einstein, Harold John son, John Naberezny, and Margaret Pfau. Ex-Officio members include Wil liam Coffield, Dean of the Univers ity; Philip Snyder, Director of Pub lic Relations; and Edith Painter, Chairman of Calendar Committee. The only student member appointed thus far is George Basto, represent ing the Student Council. The first lecture has already been arranged. R, Buckminster Fuller will speak in Stambaugh Auditorium on February 9. The topic of his speech will be "Strategies of Realistic Think ing". Also appearing in the near future is Samuel Lubcll, who is be ing sponsored by the History Club. At Kilcawley It was announced yesterday from the President's office that 500 copies of the pamphlet entitled Registration and Voting by Students will be available during final week at the student lounge in Kilcawley Hall. The pamphlet is part of a yearly program designed to encourage eli gible students to vote in the upcom ing state elections this coming Janu ary 1, and to urge those who have not already done so to register and vote. In an unprecedented move at the regular meeting of Student Council, 24 organizations were placed on the inactive list by Con stitution Committee Chairman, Denny LaRue for failure to turn in their annual report forms by the appointed time. The forms, which were due on November 22, 1967, had been dis tributed 30 days before that date. There was also an announcement in The Jambar informing all organi zations that the reports would be due. The organizations which failed to turn in the forms are: Class A? Intcrvarsity Christian Fellows h i p, and Jewish Student Fellowship, Class B?Y.U. Red Cross, Class Cb ?Delta Xi Epsilon, Class D?Ameri can Institute of Physics, Classical Society, Social Science Club, and Student Economics Association, Class Ea?Alpha Delta Sigma, Alpha Mu, Alpha Psi Omega, American Chemi cal Society, American Society for Metals, Kappa Delta Pi, Omicron Delta Epsilon, Sigma Alpha Iota, Sigma Tau, YSU Men's; Health and Physical Education Club, YSU Traf fic Club, and Delta Mu Alpha, Class Eb?NAACP, Little Si:;tcrs of Mi nerva, YU Amateur Radio Club, and The Young Democrats. The organizations will remain in active until February 10, 1968 when they will automatically regain their active status provided they have turned in their report by that time. During the period of inactivity the organizations are not permitted to hold meetings or events and their treasury funds are fro;:en. At the meeting LaRue said he called the organizations to tell them that their reports were soon due, and tried to contact some of the people personally, but these 24 just didn't respond. "I can't play nurse maid to these organizations," stated LaRue. SEATTLE, WASH. (LP.)?College professors could throw away their conventional true-false and multiple choice tests and the "normal grade distribution curve," even in largs classes, if their examinations were designed to measure a student's depth of knowledge instead of his guessing ability. How this can be done was des cribed recently by Dr. Paul E. Fields, professor of Psychology at the Uni versity of Washington. Dr. Fields' system, developed over the past three years in I ntroductory Psychology classes of more than 350 students, has resulted in significantly improv ed student achievement. The results are based on 100 different exams given to a total of 2000 different students since 1964. Uses Regular Tests Although he uses true-false and multiple-choice questions, they are in ter-related in a manner that removes the "guessing factor" inherent, in most objective examinations. He also has developed a student study guide of sample tests, "Teaching Tests in General Psychology," keyed directly to the textbook, "Psychology and Life." In the Fields system, each ques tion consists of five parts: a true- false statement and four related mul tiple choice matching associations. A student must answer all five parts correctly to receive credit. With this method, guessing just won't work. The odds on getting correct answers by chance alone are 1 to 3125. But, once students learn to use the Teach ing Test manual, they develop such good methods of studying the text that they really know the important concepts. Old Results Poor In citing data on the improved student achievement in his classes, Dr. Fields reported: "In 1964, the last time conventional examinations (Continued on Page 4) . President of Council, Ken Tomko, stated that the actions of council will be enforced and that any or ganization discovered breaking the rules will have their Student Coun cil Charter revoked. If this were to happen the organization would have to disband and then completely re organize. After a period of time they could reapply for a new char ter. One of the groups, an education honorary, did hold a function since they were put on the inactive list. All indications are that their char ter will be revoked. LaRue does see this year's action as possibly beneficial, since organi zations will know now that they will be penalized for not turning in the report, and the confusion which results from missing reports will be eliminated. Last year, when LaRue attempted .to put organizations on the inactive list for failure to submit the annual report his efforts were defeated by an attempt to impeach him for go ing beyond the bounds of his power. The attempt was unsuccessful, but did forestall the inactivation of the organizations in question. L.S.A.T. To Be The Law Scholastic Aptitude Test will be given at Y.S.U. February 10, 1968. The University Testing Serv ice will conduct the test which is required of all students seeking en trance into a accredited law school. The deadline for registering for the examination is January 20. To obtain a form, students should write to the National Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey. This will be the only time in 1968 that Y.S.U. will be a testing center for the L.S.A.T. Students who do not take the test in February will be required to take the examination later in the year either at Akron, Case-Western Reserve, Duquesne, or Pitt. On Tuesday, Dec. 5 at 5:00 the results of Senior Class elec tions were made public. The results are as follows: Nino Dilullo, President; Ron Pusateri, Vice President; Cheryl Orlando, Secre tary; Ilona Johnson, Treasurer. Although voting hours were ex tended, only 200, a small percentage of the total seniors qualified, voted. The officers are already in the pro cess of planning an executive meet ing pertaining to the development of Senior class activities. Newly elected President Dilullo stated that interested -seniors 'may 'submit sug gestions for senior class activities in writing to Room 108, Kilcawley Center. Secretary Cheryl Orlando has pro posed a aperiodic senior newsletter to inform seniors of numerious senior activities and benefits. Vice President Ron Pusateri stated lhat he will -accept' the; responsibility of co-ordinating senior committees and activities. Treasurer Ilona Johnson is plan ning fund raising projects for the senior class. The Executive Committee express ed their sincere appreciation for those seniors who participated in the elections. The officers desire participation of all seniors in carry ing out the goals of the . 1967-68 Senior Class.

The entire ISM Department is made up of several older computors, of different types plus the new 360. The smaller, older machines do much of the routine work of alphabetizing and printing the student enrollment sheets. As Mrs. Kathrinc Elenz, de partment supervisor says, "It would be a waste to use 360 computer time for these simple tasks which the old machines can do." Acquired in 1950 The first of these older machines v/as acquired in 1950 when the University first automated its record department. At that time there were only some 4,000 students attending and the paper work had become in tolerable. Mrs. Elenz stated that she couldn't even imagine how many man-hours would be necessary to complete the v/ork the IBM machines do today with the number of students tripled. The IBM Department's full-time staff of seven people is kept busy at all times with the job of pro gramming the machines. The real rush on the department, though, is during registration and grades time. One of the problems is that these periods arc so close together, some times causing a delay about which many students have complained. Students Not A Number Regarding the danger of the stu dent becoming "a number" Mrs. Elcnz said that the computer did not even use the student numbers to a great extent. She feels that a computer is sim ply a better method of doing a scientific job. in this case keeping The 1968 Miss Youngstown State University Beauty Pageant, sponsored by the Alumm Association, will be held March 30th, Frank A.

CONNECTICUT OPERATIONS EAST HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT An Equal Opportunity Employer FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1967 YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY Page 3 Panicky students, approaching their first finals under the quarter system, are returning to any means available to get them through exams. Study guides like College Outline Series, Schaum's Notes, and Monarch study guides figure in many students' study plans. Piominently displayed in both Campus Supply and the University Book and Supply are guides for most courses: math, languages, sciences, and synopses on most lower division English texts. Campus Supply has al most half again as much space de voted to study guides as it has to ordinary paperbacks. , Manager In Favor The manager of Campus Supply is in favor of students' using these guides. "An engineer shouldn't be driven to study history," he explains. "Do you think learning history is go ing to help them make a buck?" He added that many area high schools prefer their students to use' these guides when they read Shakes peare. "A high school English teach er came in here and bought ten "Macbeth's"," he said. "She told me it was the first time in her teaching career that her students really under stood Shakespeare." Carol Boyle, a freshman in nurs ing, said that the Data-Guide charts are a big help in learning anatomy. She added that her husband, a sen ior, frequently uses them to study for literature tests, ". . . and he says they're a big help." Some Notes Good Dr. Mary Virginia Hare, Associate Professor of English, believes that some of these notes are good, but it depends on the notes. She herself finds that Cliff Notes for James Joyce's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" are quite helpful to her students. Dr. Robert Hare, Associate Pro fessor of English, has spotted at least t w o glaring errors in these note;;, and says that any student us ing i:hem will be confused unless he already has a thorough knowledge of the book. The inaccuracies in many guides have been noted by their critics. A senior in the English depart ment:, who recently finished a paper on criticism of Eugene O'Neill's "Desire Under the Elms", discussed the Monarch Notes on the play. "They're superficial," she said, "and anyone spending a dollar for them is throwing money away." She added that their discussion of the play mentions ideas that most critics laugh at. "For example, in one place the notes say that" the play is a criticism of Puritanism. Most crit ics scoff at this notion, and say that only someone who doesn't under stand O'Neill could say this." Never Heard Theory A history student remembered an incident in an upper-division history course, when most of the students supplemented lectures with the Col lege Outline Series. After the mid term, the professor commented to the class that most of them had men tioned a theory he had never heard of in eight years of study that cul minated in a Ph. D. Apparently, the author had inserted only his own theories, and had not consulted the authorities. English Associate Professor Dr. Claudia Morrison regrets the use of outlines which reduce literature to a mass of facts, ignoring matters of style. Dr. Sidney I. Roberts, Pro fessor in the history department, feels that authors ignore matters of "insight",, and- history.; is ieduced'-. to a statement of fact after fact. Associ ate professor of history Dr. Chaplain T. Morrison refers to this as "canned history". Another critic of the approach taken by study guides is assistant professor of biology Mr. Robert R. Costa. "Many still use the classical approach, and biology, like all the sciences, is changing rapidly. Those dealing with basics are good, but everything else is outdated." ? Mr. Costa said that he prefers that students use good paperbacks, some of which are published by Macmillan, others by Holt, Rine- hart, and Winston. He. explained that these take specific problems, such as animal adaptation, and cover them thoroughly. These, he says, are up to date. One faculty member supporting the use of the guides is Dr, Robert E. Ward, Associate professor of German. Dr. Ward admits that he does not recommend them unless a student asks him to, because "We give students enough in class that they don't need to use notes." Recommended especially by Dr. War,d is a paperback of 201 Ger man verbs, and the College Outline Series and Barron's Educational Scries. Different Problems Of course, instructors in the lan guage department face a different problem with the guides than do literature instructors: many language students must memorize lists of verbs and any study aid that helps is legitimate. Dean of Arts and Sciences Karl Dykema, on the other hand, does not want any guides used in the English department and regards their use as cheating when they are used by students who thus avoid reading the book. The manager of Campus Supply does not feel that this is a problem with the study aids. "We bought 200 copies of Jude the Obscure, and have only about 35 left in the store," he explains. "And we sold only about 35 study guides to Jude." He added that only rarely does a student buy only the notes without the book. "We recommend that .they read the book, and only then, read the notes." He concluded that "the students can't help learning from these guides." . Denies Usefulness Dr. Claudia Morrison denies that there is any learning gained from these guides, "What do students learn? They learn how to pass a test. They do not learn to appreci ate the work they are to be study ing." Most instructors, especially in lower division courses, assume that many students use study guides, al though one math instructor said he never gives it much thought. Few students, however, admit using them. Dr. Morrison says in despair that it grows increasingly difficult to tell whether or not students are using the guides, because the professors who write them can , anticipate al most any test question. Although the usefulness of study guides is in dispute, students facing the long week ahead are probably going to grasp at every straw they think of can save them.

Hence, changes in the Department of Philosophy and Religion will occur. But more important than these superficial and external changes are those more basic ones which arise from the changing knowledge of the world about us. This new knowledge does not reject the past accomplishments because they are past, but rather conserves what is true, and broadens and deepens these truths with the ad ditions of the new advances. Although this is applicable to all fields of investigation, we might consider its effect in Philosophy and Religion. thought, phenomenology, and analy tic philosophy. In addition, philoso phy faces the task of assimilating the discoveries, from the experimental sciences of anthropology, psychology, and sociology. Thus, traditional phi losophy must be supplemented by contemporary views, especially the areas of subjectivity (on man as sub ject instead of only as object or hu man nature), of intersubjectivity (the other person), and of development, growth and history. What is based on facts and especially the common sense view of the world of experi ence will speak out. The perennial principles are discoveries of the past ?of Plato (Idealism), of Aristole (Moderate Realism), of Aquinas (Scholasticism) will remain. They furnish stability in chaos; the basis for the validity of science; the value of society; the value of the individ ual and equality and the safeguard ing of human rights. Analytic philo sophy has shown us the necessity of clarifying our language (as a philos ophy it is already on the wane). Existentialism has severe limitations but its phenomenological method is a great contribution to philosophy with its resulting insights into phe nomena, especially the psycho-social. It may well be that philosophy will be realistic when a wedding takes place with the participants being the Aristolelian-Scholastic tradition and the method of phenomenology. The task of the instructor in philosophy ?to present this breath of know ledge in a way that the student may form a philisophy of life about him self, and the world and society in which he 1'ves?is a formidable one. How is vthis to be done? Since we live in an age, when more and more, it is the nature of the investigation of birth that occu pies thinkers, our courses should re flect this concern with methodology. Our first concern should recognize the distinctness of the studies in philosophy and religion. Each has its own subject matter and method, how ever much they are correlated with each other and the experimental sciences. In general, philosophy is the study of the ultimate or more pro found problems of reality as investi gated by human effort (reason): while religion is concerned with a set of beliefs or doctrines ihat are accepted on authority (Faith), it fol lows that Philosophy is not Religion; nor is religion the study of Philoso phy. This requires that each be stud ied as a distinct discipline, if not as distinct Departments (which is preferable to avoid confusion). A particular religion is not tied to, bas ed on, nor dependent on any parti cular philosophy. Religions have util ized one philosophy, then another, according to the times, in attempting a harmonization with rational in vestigations and outlooks. For ex ample, in the fifth century, St. Aug ustine espoused Platonism; in the Middle Ages, the Scholastics utilized Arisidtelianism, and today, there are some like Marcel who propound Ex istentialism. Diverse Religious men, like the Jews and Arabs of the Mid dle Ages accepted Aristotelianism, just as today men like' Robert Hutch- mins and Mortimer Adler do. In the - field of philosophy itself, the contemporary scene is a lively one. The classical philosophy of es sences has encountered dialectic The present emphasis in America seems to be on an historical study of philosophy. This method is to ap proach philisopohical problems in the light of the present major philoso phies: Classical (Plato, Aristole, Augustine, Aquinas); Dialectical Thought (Kant, Hegel, Marx); Prag matic - Naturalist Thought (James, Peirce, Dewey); Analytic - Positivest Thought (Russell, Camap, Ayer); and Existential - Phenomenological Thought (Heidegger, Sartre, Marcel). The approach should be positive, to see the value of each contribution but at the same time to note their shortcomings. This method is valuable in making the student vividly aware of these problems, and aims to induce the student to evaluate and judge the various systems and slowly build a philosophy of his own. On the other hand, l this method suffers from too great optimism ? that the student with his limited background and time will accomplish such a task? and faces the risk that he may be left with more questions than answ ers and perhaps with no answers at all. Men must live and life demands certainties. It will be the task then, for the instructor to have a genuine opin ion to everything in philosophy, but at the same time, to present the basic acquisition of principles, in contemporary terms, without which there can be no assimilation and ap propriation by the student. It matters not whether he be rabbi, minister, or priest; a democrat, republican, or socialist; an Italian, Irishman, Eng lishman, or Oriental; otherwise every instructor would be disqualified in any subject. This means, above all, that the instructor will teach philo sophy?not according to any relig ious, political, social, cultural, or other commitments?but as a master of philosophy, a good teacher, and a decent human being. (Continued from Page 1) were used, the average student in the class passed 56 per cent of all the questions; the top fourth of the class averaged 72 per cent correct, and the bottom fourth of the class averaged 43 per cent. No student in a cUss of 362 was within 240 points of a perfect score at the end of the quarter. "In the spring of 1967, when the Teaching Tests were used as a study guide, the average student passed 84 per cent of the questions; the top fourth averaged 99 per cent correct, and the bottom fourth of the class averaged 62 per cent correct. This time, 164 out of 369 students were within 66 points (one standard de viation) of a perfect score. In addition, the average internal consistency coefficient improved from plus .34 in 1964 to plus .59 in 1967, Dr. Fields said. This coefficient measures the precision with which the good and the poor students could be differentiated. , More Perfect Scores Dr. Fields reported that the most frequently earned score in each of his last 24 examinations was a per fect score. Because of this exception al student .achievement, he "threw the normal distribution curve out the window-" He now assigns grades starting from "perfection," rather than from "class average." He be- . Heves that when normal curves of achievement are found in college classes, they may be due to the use of poor quality examinations on stu dents who are lacking in motivation. Dr. Fields also revealed that he gives 12 in-depth exams during a 10- week quarter to several hundred students. They can be hand-scored quickly and objectively with keyed answer sheets. Vietnam Discussion A discussion about the Viet nam war will be held from noon to 2 p.m. today in the Buckeye Room in the Student Lounge.

With the thousands of students gone from the University, the cam pus will look deserted. However, it, will not be completely deserted. There will be no vacation for the administrative staff of the Univer sity. The Business Office will be open during the holiday, except on Christ mas Day and New Years Day. The Library and the Bookstore will be open for any student wishing to make use of their facilities. The Library hours will be from 9 to 5 Monday through Friday, except on Christmas Day. The Bookstore will be open Mon day through Friday from 8 to 5 and Saturday from'8 to 12 for anyone wishing to purchase books for the Winter Quarter, except Christmas Day and New Years Day. Many of the faculty members will use this free period to travel or to attend conventions. A number of ? NEW HAVEN, Conn. (CPS)?A phantom foot-nibbler is at large in the stacks of the library at Yale Uni versity. -He has attacked at least four women?three graduate students and one professor's wife?during the last four weeks. According to descriptions given by one of the nibbled girls and the cam pus police, the assailant crawls up on all fours and attempts to kiss or bite the feet of girls studying in the stacks. In at least one incident, a girl's shoe fell off, and the attacker began biting at her toes. The attacks have taken place dur ing the afternoon and evening in the second, fifth, sixth, and seventh floor stacks of the library. One graduate student who was attacked over two weeks ago said that she heard footsteps but ignored thgm, and then was aware of.a per son standing above her for a long time. "All of a sudden I felt somebody kissing my feet," she said. "Here was this guy on his hands . and knees kissing me. I screamed but every body ignored me." The attacker, who had apparently crawled into her study-booth from the side, fled, when she begin screaming. The girl, a Vassar graduate, said, "I've had some strange passes made at me,, but never anything like this." A week later the same girl came back from making a phone call to find water all over her books and notes. Security Director John Powell said campus police are looking for "a white male, six feet tall, slender, 160-170 pounds, with dark blond hair and a fair complexion." Powell believes the attacker is "probably an emotionally disturbed person." The phantom foot-nibbler report edly does not choose his victims (the nibblees) indiscriminately. According to one observer who is acquainted^ wi th?

(NOTE: As everyone knows, renthol is the smoothest substance ever discovered. You may not know, however, that renthol is named after its inventor, Ralph Waldo Renthol, who developed it by crossing a swan with a ball bearing.) (Interestingly enough, Mr. Renthol did not start out to be an inventor. Until age 50 he was a Western Union, boy. Then fats took a hand. One day while delivering a singing telegram to a girl named Claudia Sigafoos, Ralph noted to his surprise that the telegram was signed "Claudia Sigafoos!" She had sent herself a birthday greeting! (When pressed to explain, Claudia told Ralph a heart rending tale. It seems that when she was only six weeks old, her parents were killed in an avalanche. The infant Claudia was found by a pair of kindly caribou who raised her as their ovm. They taught her all they knew-^like how to rub bark off a tree and which lichens are better than other lichens-but in time they saw that this was not enough. When Claudia reached age 18, they entered her in Bennington. (Unused to people, Claudia lived a lonely Hfe-so lonely, in fact, that she was reduced to sending herself birthday greetings, as we have seen. (Ralph, deeply touched, married Claudia and tried his best to make her mingle with people. It didn't work. They went nowhere, saw no. one, except for an annual Christmas visit to Claudia's foster parents, Buck and Doe. To while away his long, lonely hours, Ralph finally built a work bench and staged to futz around with inventions, as we have seen. (It is pleasant to report that the story of Ralph and Claudia ends happily. After the birth of their two chil dren, Bonder and Blitzen, Claudia joined the PTA and soon overcame her fear of people. Ralph joined the Elks.) But I digress. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Suarez The William Rayen School of Engineering, Dean Michael Jean Charignon, and his cigar: they all are on the move. The man, first. B.S. in Mechanical Engr.; B.S. in Electrical Engr., M.E.; M.S.; Ph.D. 5 years, U.S., infantry?colonel, no less?during World War II. For 13 years a power engineer for Republic Steel. For the last 17, Dean of the Engineering School. William Rayen, next. It is not ranked first, or third, or tenth, or last in the nation. There is no ranking of schools anywhere in the United States, explained Dean Charignon. The success and reputa tion of an engineering school Is bas ed on the reputation of its faculty and on the success of its graduates in industry, > he said. "Industry accepts our graduates; none of our engineers is wanting a job, and more than half our faculty have PhD's: thus, our school is very successful," the Dean added. A measure of the reputation of the William Rayen School is the fact that industrial firms offered '67 YSU engineering graduates in all areas an average of $745 per month starting salary, which is well over the national average for all en gineering graduates. In the words of Mr. Alfred Minot- ti, Director of Placement for YSU: "When I first started directing job placements in 1957, 26 companies recruited on our campus. This year, well over 200 companies will inter view our engineers. These companies come here because they have heard of the outstanding job the William Rayen graduates are doing in all fields of engineering. Companies feel these engineers are practical people, hard workers, and an asset to their organizations." William Rayen is not resting on its laurels. Dean Michael Jean Cha rignon won't allow it. Next Fall, a Masters' program will be established in the areas of civil, electrical, mechanical, and metallurg ical engineering. Before then, the new engineering building will be inaugurated. The new building, the Dean stated, will afford the engineering students and i'aculty the opportunity to be come experienced in the operation of the latest, most sophisticated en gineering apparatus; Among such apparatus will be: a 600,000 lbs. Universal tester; a Bauer hydraulic flume; a 90-foot constant head tower; a three-story absorption column (for chemical engineering ex periments) ; a two-story cupulo. An ore benefitiation laboratory (for chemical and metallurgical engineer ing courses); an electron microscope; an ionoscope; a Bear spectrograph; and X-ray diffraction apparatus. The Computors Are Coming Furthermore, the new building will house the University computer cen ter, composed of 3060-20 and 3060- 40 IBM digital computers and of an analogue computer system. Plans in clude joining both types of com puters to form a hybrid computer center, said Dean Charignon. "This hybrid center will fulfill the computer needs of the whole uni versity"?the Dean said?"and will probably be capable of handling some of local industrial needs as well.". As the engineering school grows, research programs will multiply. These programs will be supported by the facilities in the new building and by its sophisticated computor capacity. In view of the increase in under graduate students, and in preparation for the influx of graduate students, Dean Charignon is directing his ef forts toward expanding the engineer ing faculty. "In five years," he ventured, "we will probably double our faculty." The switch from a private to a state institution will benefit the Wil liam Rayen School insofar -as the re duced fees will permit more students to avail themselves of YSU's en gineering education, Dean Charignon declared. Also, the university will progress faster as more funds are available to its administration, he added. The new quarter system resulted in the engineering curriculum being scheduled in the catalog for four academic years instead of the old five-year program. This move is in agreement with the program followed at almost ail engineering schools in the nation. Math Curriculum Change The change is mostly due to the elimination of several required hours of mathematics. "We found out that high schools have improved their math and sci ence curriculums to the point where an entering college freshman is now capable of starting his college math with calculus," the Dean commented. By eliminating the more basic math requisites, the student is spared from repeating a course which he already has studied in high school. Dr. Cha rignon said. Naturally, if a student does not have the necessary back ground, he may still acquire it in college, but those hours will > be an The art department of Youngs town State University is having a showing of original prints by a group of well known artists from Novem ber 1?S to December 15. Included are etchings and lithographs by Picasso, Breverman, Daumier, Renoir, Bas- kin, Swift, Maillel and many others. The exhibit is being held in the art department gallery of Kilcewley Hall and is open to the public. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily ex cept Saturday and Sunday. Works are for sale at very rea sonable prices. Untitled Picasso Print $10 extra load on his curriculum, the engineering Dean stated. Engineering is reputed to have a high drop-out rate in comparison to the other schools in Youngstown State University. This is because, in Dr. Charignon's words, "in the last ten years engineering has been over- glamorized. Many students tend to go into it when they don't have the aptitude for it." What advice does he offer an en gineering freshman? "Not only to engineering freshmen, but to all freshmen: Your major task in this age is to find that facet of social activity in which you excel and for which you have the greatest aptitude. Find it, and pursue it with all your might." . And, last but not least, the cigar. It flicks ashes to punctuate a spok en sentence. It puffs blue rings of smoke to announce the presence of its owner. Sometimes, specially on sunny days, the cigar can be seen looking out of its window. Its master refers to it, disrespect fully, as a "two-for-fourteen-cents, anything-that-smokes, a-pedagogue's- cigar." Every year, on the night of the Engineers' Ball, the cigar throws all convention to the winds. On such nights, it can be seen gyrating, twist ing, boogaloing for a glorious four minutes around some wide-eyed girl. Rumor has it that, in the past, the cigar has always favored the nearest blonde. In the words of its master, the cigar will dance "if and when I can find a young lady cour ageous enough to come out on the dance floor with a man my age." Somehow, at least one courageous young lady every year sheds her high-heeled shoes and accepts Dean Michael Jean Charignon's (and his cigar's) invitation to dance..

Unfortunately today Santa bears an overwhelming resemblance to a Marine sup ply sergeant equipping his troops for a suicide mission. Where once the stocking was filled to the hilt with candy, dolls, and "harmless toys, todays youngster is most likely champing at the proverb ial bit to get down stairs to play with his handy AR 15, anti-tank gun, au- sembleclgc of weapons and vehicles of destruction since Hitler massed his forces along the Polish front in 1939.

Toys Are. Fun Toys of all sorts are fun, irre spective of their nature. Neverthe less, our toys seem to reflect a frightening preoccupation with war and death. Toys are indeed designed to be both educational and enjoy able, however this year's orientation is definitely the most frightening as- It would seem that in the face of repeated national military involve ment that those who control the children's market in toys?the par ents?would raise a storm of pro test over the amount of violence acted and re-enacted on our play grounds under the guise of "good clean fun". There has been no storm of protest, however, and Johnny still prides himself on. having the only armored troop carrier on the block. ' It isn't the idea of a good, old fashioned shoot-out between cowboys and Indians that I find repugnant. Perhaps even a good battle ONCE and a while between the allies and the Third Reich; but to bring the agony of Dak To or the hell of Hill 845 into one's own backyard while the neighbor up the street mourns the loss of a son, while the young wife next door doesn't sleep nights wondering if her husband is alive, is carrying things^ a bit too far. To those who would argue that this type of play is only normal, per mit me to posit to you that more guns, grenades, and weapons are gra ciously given by parents to their young than are books. To those who would suggest that the constant emphasis on violence, not only in toys, but also in the entertainment and communications media, is not psychologically damag ing, then may I suggest that we offer, aside from the three "R's", a survival course in our public schools designed to off-set the neurotic results of our seemingly unending desire to pla cate junior while ruining his mind in the process.

The tree weighs ! 100 pounds and is decorated with 150 red vinyl bows and 160 colorful lights which can be seen as far as the Market Street bridge. The trees was instigated, created, and engineered by Art major, Bill Stabile, and Engineering student Bob Gartland, and required four weeks for construction. At 8:00 in the morning the tree lay in length in the Kilcawley am- pitheater, being decorated under the supervision of the President of Circle K, Ken Miller. Two hundred pound test steel cables, 12 in number, were strung from section to section. At 2:30 the Peskin Sign Company brought a truck lift to the site and began to lift the tree into place. During this procedure, one of the main cables broke, but the tree was saved by (im McBride at the top of the dorm. All was complete by 6:00 p.m., and the lights were turned on.

Death Is Not Humorous In reality, there is nothing humor ous about death or destruction, nor are there any psychological or edu cational benefits to be derived from a nasty obsession with these rather ugly social phenomenon. The sad commentary on our society is that our children would much rather feign war and destroy each other than in volve themselves in some fruitful endeavor. Hence, we have a generation of ten year-olds ready for war, but un able to read their "orders" without stumbling over polysyllabic words. While the kids are able to set up elaborate military exercises in the vacant lot next door, they are un able to acquire a vested interest in study. The real shame comes when the youngsters grow older and want to study, but can't, primarily because they have been callec off ,to war.

In this game, the Zips extended a streak which has seen them defeat Youngstown in every. meeting be tween the two clubs at Memorial Hall since 1953. The Penguins fell victim to a sup erbly balanced team. Akron used a ball-control offense, playing for the good shot, hoping this would con. tain the taller Penguins, which it ultimately did. Akron roared to an early 22-11 lead, and the closest the Penguins ever came was -33-28 early in the second half. Joe Nigro's 18 points and Willie Teague's 13 led Penguins scorers. Frank Fitz pulled down 18 stray en emy shots, but the absence of Joe LaVolpa, sidelined with an injury, was sorely felt on the boards. Bob Smith of Akron led all scor ers with 23 points.

Youngstown, Ohio Page 8 YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1967 By Sandra MoIIer In a recent interview Major William Bender, executive officer and assistant professor of military science at Youngstown State University, stated that "If we are to remain an independent nation, we cannot ignore every war of aggression that comes along." "We have much to gain by our presence in Vietnam," he said, "I teriaV gams*,"burrrather to help "the people of Vietnam to defeat the communists and to build a stable government." Eleven Months in Vietnam Prior to joining the R.O.T.C. staff at Y.S.U., Major Bender served eleven months in Vietnam. He was stationed at Pleiku as an artillery battalion operations officer in support of the American 4th Infantry Divi sion. Major Bender is a graduate of Officer Candidate School and the University of Omaha. He is a vet eran of sixteen years in the Army and has been awarded the Bronze Star. "Magnificent Soldiers" He feels that our troops in Viet nam are "truly magnificent soldiers." They are working hard to assist the people of South Vietnam against the communist aggression. The marches and demonstrations, staged by people opposed to our presence in Vietnam, "do not slow the fighting men down any," al though the V.C. use these activities ar propaganda against the American troops. Many a soldier becomes "quite perturbed" when patrolling and fighting in the rice paddies or the muddy jungle and he hears of peo ple at home protesting what he is fighting for. Morale not weakened This, however, does not weaken his morale which is "extremely high." He realizes that they are not protesting him, but rather the policy that put him there. Every citizen, the Pittsburgh soldier stressed, has the right to parade or to hold rallies. However, "they should not interfere with the rights of others." If they would peacefully demon strate, he feels, they wouldn't harm anyone. However, too often they have interfered with the rights of others. Vietnamese want U.S. From what he saw, while sta tioned in Vietnam, the Vietnamese need and want American assistance. He saw no evidence that the Viet namese want to give up everything and allow the V.C. to take over. "I don't think the Vietnamese are prepared to just let happen what will happen/' This can be seen in the large number of voters who turned out for the recent elections. "They would not have gone to the trouble and taken the risks that they did, if they didn't care." Held in High Esteem Many people have criticized the Vietnamese soldiers, however, they NEW UNIVERSITY SINGERS TO PRESENT FREE CONCERT This evening, at 8:00 p.m., the newly established 80-voice University Singers will present a concert of seasonal Christmas music in Strouss Auditorium. The choir, under the direction of Wade Raridon member of the Dana Voice 'Department, will also be join ed by the Dana Madrigal Singers in a display of echoing responsive sing ing in the performance of the "Psalm 100" for chorus and echo choir by Heinrick Schultz. Music The gay and light "Cantate Do mino" by Pitoni will open the pro gram followed by the mysteriously rich sounds of T. S. Bachs "Planets", and "Stars" "In Mirth and in Glad ness" by Neidt provide exciting chro matic runs for the whole choir. The beautiful flowing melody of "Behold a Star from Jacob Shining" will end the first part of the program. During the second half of the chorus presentation, the well known "Carol of the Bells" by Wilhousky, and the heavy, melodious, and cres- hendoing "Forth From Jesse sprang a Rose" by Buckner will be the opening numbers. The chorus will end with the deep, crashing sounds of a 25-man bass section carrying the choir in Handel's "Hallelujah", from "Judas Maccabaeus". Performers The choir is made up of students from every phase of University life. Selection of members was made after short auditions which determined the quality-of ? individual voices..

Parade Marshals Major Bender and Mr. Fred Chil dress of the Youngstown Vindicator served as assistant parade marshals to Captain L. E. Wood, U.S.M.C., for the 1967 annual Youngstown Veterans Day Parade held on No vember 11th. Units of the Y.S.U.- R.O.T.C. and the R.O.T.C. military band also participated in the parade. Major Bender acts as advisor to the National Society of Scabber and Blade and has an office in Pollock House. "I'm happy to be at Y.S.U.," he said. "The men are quite inter ested and sincere in their work."

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1967 YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY Page 9 By JENNIFER MOODY There seems to be a general state of confusion and/or lack of communication between Campus Security and the students and faculty of. YSU over some of the fine points of the campus park ing situation. This confusion also leads to some lack of uniformity in the supervision of the several different parking lots on Campus. A cursory inspection of student arid faculty lots will point this, as will the answers of different parking lot attendants to the same questions. Nobody seems to know anything for sure. One such simple question is, "Does a faculty member have to pay to park in a student lot if all faculty lots are filled?" The official answer, according to Chief Paul H. Cress, Head of Campus Security, is NO. Must Pay 20 Cents However, any faculty * member who attempts to park in. the Ar lington slreet lot without paying twenty c^nts may have difficulty, ac cording to the attendant there, but will be permitted to enter the lot across from Jones Hall. No one at the faculty lots knows much about this matter, this being out of his territory. There also seems to be some ques tion about the parking privileges of student assistants, whose cars are marked by a blue plastic tape over the regulation student sticker. Alpha Phi Omega will hold their used book sale, for the win ter quarter Monday,' January 2 thru Monday, ajnuary 8 in Strouss Auditorium from 10 a.m. to 4. p.m. The brothers will collect all used books which any student wishes to sell on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday during final week in the A Phi O office in 113 Kilcawley. Counterfeit Tapes? It has been rumored that these tapes are being counterfeited to get student cars into faculty lots. Every one in Campus Security and the parking lot staff is consistent on this matter, though, saying that this move is pointless, as student assist ants have no more parking privileges than any other student. The only exception to this, ac cording to Cress, is in the "small faculty lot behind Dana School of Music, which is more or less left to the supervision of Dean Aurand, who permits student assistants to park there as long as they do not displace faculty cars. Not Patrolled However, since this lot is not patrolled by Campus Security, un authorized cars often park there. The small student lot behind the secretarial school is likewise largely unsupervised and often, filled with cars without parking stickers. In an interview with a Jambar reporter, Cress pithily summarized the problem in the words, "You can't put a quart of water in a pint bottle." However, Cress says, the situation is often not as bad as students and facutty like to com plain that it is. The block-large lot on Elm Street between Lincoln and Arlington has By Luis F. Suarez A fine, promising new crop of young talent was featured in the YSU Theatre "Evening of Three One-Act Plays" presented in Strouss auditorium last Friday and Saturday nights. Veteran YSU players Mike Brace, Jeanne Elser, and Berte . . . err, Bob Alvarez did a commendable job of recruiting and directing the novice performers. W. B. Yeats' "Words Upon a Win dow Pane" was directed by Mike Brace, who also played the part of John Corbet, the skeptic visitor to a seance. Highly dramatic, the eerie atmosphere of "Words" was never diluted, thanks partly to a hair-rais ing monologue by the "medium" Cathy Riffle, and partly due to the convincing characterization of the motley, weird crew _ of spiritualists by David Schultz, Bob Alvarez, and Toni Scali. Al Franklin is a very efficient Spiritualist Society presi dent, and Kathy Fallat is a good prim secretary. Kathy Kubina was the stage manager and a key factor in achieving the play's unearthy at mosphere. The second play, "The Proposal", by Anton Chekhov, is a farce direct ed by Jeanne Elser. Freshman Barry Cardoza was the fumbling, spastic, very funny suitor. The object of his attentions is Mary Sawyckyj, and she and her voice are a powerful com edy team. Her half-plastered father is played by Chet Aniedia, who is all the halitosed, myopic, and stumbling a half-plastered father should be. The stage manager was Carol Riffle. High Camp "Egad?What a Cad" by Anita Bell, a high - intentional-camp melo drama, was so treated by director Bob Alvarez, who extracted its full flavor in the form of applause, rot ten eggs,, and size 10-D shoes gen erously contributed by the amused, audience. Alvarez himself played Bertram Oleander, the rat-fink of a villain, and he is camp all the way. Chip LaVogue is the hero Manly Rash; American flag and all, a ha-ha and hold-your-sides funny character ization. His heart is blue-true to curly blonde Constant Hope, the nurse played by Joyce Zyznar, whose eyelashes flutter true Constant Hope style. Peg Ward is the matronly mother of Manly, the epitone of motherhood. Tony Maravola is an excellent patronly, what - will - the - neighbors-thing straightlaced stepfa ther.

Likewise, Faculty space is often available, in the En gineering School lot on Rayen Ave. "People are too lazy to walk a little way," says Cress. No Room for Cars Aside from the basic problem of too many cars and not enough room for them, Cress sees no rational cause for complaint. "If people who complain about parking were willing to pay the money it takes to buy more land and pay more employees on the security force, and enough attendants to watch every car that comes in, they would get an awful lot of good service." He pointed out that there are only two men on the security force, himself and officer Charles E. Young, plus a few part-time city patrolmen at night. Pay More Since the state does not pay for parking facilities, says Cress, the only way to better the situation is to pay even more than is charged now. " Officer Young pointed out that students at Kent and other state universities must pay $35.00 per se mester for parking, which, even counting the twenty cents per day students pay here,' comes to twice as much per year. It will be noted, though, that, since Youngstown is substantially a commuter school, conditions are hot the same. Cars are a necessity here, not a luxury, and the confusion in the lots is therefore a much more vital "problem here. by ronald c. saklosky wind that blows time through space enters ... on my day it brings illusions of, salt sea ajr, by their sighs leaving sadness and inklings of joy on buds of lies, although looks bleed flesh and hate . . . through twisted nurtured minds but by seeing visions until looks can kill high waterfalls say . . .

LIME, REGULAR AND MENTHOL Page 10 YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1967 Basketball The "jinx" of Akron University's Memorial Hall continued as the bas ketball Penguins of YSU lost a 65- 57 decision to the Akron Zips last Saturday night. Yoiingstown opened the home sea son at South Field House, by taking on Villa Madonna of Kentucky, marking the first of eight straight home games for the Penguins. To morrow night the home squad will take on Muskingum at 8:00. The games and dates at home are: De cember 16?Illinois Wesleyan; 19th? Hiram College; 21st?Wisconsin State at Oshkosh; 23rd?Belmont Abbey; and 30th?Geneva College. In last Saturday's fray the outside shooting and playmaking Joe Nigro, and the excellent development of Will Teague featured as they scored 18 and 13 points respectively. Frank Fitz kept all players jumping by clearing the boards 18 times. Bob Smith a small 5-foot-9-inch sharp shooter scored 23 points for the Zips. Swimming Youngstown State beat West Vir ginia and Slippery Rock and placed fourth in the Grove City College Swim Relays, last Saturday. Dale Welk, a former high school diving champ, and now a highly rat ed college competitor and Nick Ca- volas, of YSU, set a new diving mark of 333 points. The Penguins placed second in the 200-yard freestyle, fifth in the 400 yard individual medley, third in the 200-yard butterfly, fourth in the 200- yard breaststroke, third in the 200- yard backstroke and fourth in the 400-yard freestyle. Home meets are held at the Youngstown Central YMCA pool. Tonight the YSU tankmen will take on Lock Haven State at the Y-pool. The following meets at home and dates are: Slippery Rock College? Dec. 15th; and January 5th?West Virginia. Spirit David Costello and Mike Foley will make their debut as Youngs town State University's first male cheerleaders on Saturday night for the YSUVVilla Madonna game. Stu dents can look forward to some un usual, unique and humorous antics from these two un-coordinated clowns. Because there are six home games during Christmas vacation it is ex pected that all students can partici pate en masse in creating spirit at the games. June Wem, head cheer leader, suggests that all the students listen to the cheers and cheer along loudly. Of course it is hoped that the student body will make up their own cheers to keep the spirit cam paign moving. Terry Lambca Terry Lambea, a pretty sophomore Business Education major, was crowned "Engineer's Sweetheart" at the Engineer's Ball Friday at the Mahoning Country Club. Dusit Nontanakorn, a 23 year old senior from Thailand studying Civil Engineering, was named "Mr. Engi neer". Mr. Nontanakorn said, "I would like to express my apprecia tion to all those who supported me." The Engineer's Ball is an annual affair traditionally well attended. Congratulations to Miss Lambea and Mr. Nontanakorn for the honor which they have achieved. Dusit Nontanakorn The planned physical education building has been named, by a resolution of the University Board of Trustees as the Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Beeghly Physical Education Center. A the May 2, 1966 board meeting, the trustees voted to name the build ing for Mr. and Mrs. Beeghly, but this was not official after the Uni versity became state controlled. The state university trustees repeated the resolution recently. The Beeghlys are being honored for supporting the Youngstown Uni versity programs for many years, as well as for providing much of the funds to build the Center. The Board hopes that this will be a re minder to Jniversity community and to the city of Youngstown of "Youngstown State University is unique in having a centra lized testing office," states Mrs. Mary A. Dobrich, head of the Testing Office and Assistant Professor of Psychology. Mrs. Do brich has worked for the Testing Office for the past 10 years. According to Mrs. Dobrich, the Testing Office deals primarily in make-up exams. Over 160 faculty members utilize the Testing Office, and some professors give up to 20 or 30 make-up exams per month. Most give an average of 2 or 3 make-ups per month. The procedure for giving make up exams is relatively simple. The professor sends the exam up to the TestifngVOffice in a sealed envelope, with tjite time to be allotted for the exam written on the envelope. The seal is not broken until the student takes the test. Atfer the completion of the test, it is resealed and sent back to the professor. Despite the fact that many stu dents claim different,, the Testing Office claims it,, exercises ,top se curity. In the evenings the door is locked, and each individual file cabinet con taining tests is locked. Before tak ing a make-up exam, the student must display his Student ID and a drivers license or some other suit able identification. There have been no complaints as far as cheating is concerned. The student may be charged a fee for taking a make-up, but this is left to the discretion of the in structor. The usual fee is S3.00 to ?5.00. This money is paid to the cashier and deposited in the general school fund. The Testing Office also deals in special testing for the Education De partment, interest tests and intelli gence tests, and large national exams. the University's gratitude to the Beeghlys for their generosity, inter est, and support. A one million dollar gram from the Department of Health, Educa tion, and Welfare is also being ap plied to the Center. The current debate in Congress over funds for national Urban Renewal programs has delayed the construction, how ever, because the local Urban Re newal program has not yet been able to purchase the land for the Center.

REPRESENTED FOR NATIONAL. ADVERTISING BY National Educational Advertising Services A DIVISION OF READER'S D1OM0T SALES ft SERVICES, INC. 3SO Lexington Ave, Now York, N.V. 1QQ17 Last Friday Student Council decided to uphold the recom mendation of Council Constitution chairman Dennis LaRue, and voted to suspend from further activities those groups who had not turned in their annual reports. The groups will be considered inactive until the middle part of February. Such an action greatly surprised this paper, for it was the first time it has witnessed the Student Government of this campus take a firm stand on an unpopular issue and follow it through. Perhaps our Council is becoming a workable and potent student force, as are those at the larger universities. Perhaps it is becoming aware of the necessity of a strong student- run, student-supported campus government as a means of carry ing out the needs of all undergradautes. Perhaps it has finally realized that in order to receive power, one must be able to exer cise that power. While it is true that there were no major social organizations involved in the suspensions, and that a few of these groups desired inactivity and chose this means to carry it out, Council has still taken a big step forward. This paper sincerely hopes that this step was not merely a chance move; a blind-stab proposition that happened to pan out. We would like to think that Student Council has at last seen the path of strong leadership, and will, continue to follow it. - This may be too much to hope for, as we have always been disappointed in the past. But if the past can be considered a suitable yardstick, then this action places the Council well above any previous attempt to bring good student government to this campus. It is regretable that this paper must constantly be forced to /remind its readers of their "care-little" attitude concerning stu dent affairs. This past week's Senior Class elections was cer tainly no exception. One would think that at least the graduating seniors could be expected to take an active' interest in the Uni versity's future, but this is apparently not the case. Out of a possible 1400 votes, only 200 seniors cared enough to even pick up a pencil and vote. As it is usually the upper- classmen who continuously harp on the lack of spirit and enthus- iasum, we cannot see how this action, or lack of it, can possibly further their objectives. We would like to extend congratulations to those 200 some students who did manage to vote, for they are probably the same people who voted for Homecoming Queen and Student Council members. We can only hope that the majority of you fail to graduate, so that we may again have these activities and organizations pres ent on-our campus next year. More student news More club activities The Jambar Poll Profiles of Professors and Outstanding Alumni More Editors being suspended More martyrs for your own very special cause Sam Staff, B.V.D. returns The ELF SPEAKS OUT!! The War The Peace The Pot More, more, more1 and yet more ... all for you, the students of YSU! Yuletide Cheer, the Spirit of the Season and other Garbage Three weeks before Thanksgiving holly appeared on the street lights downtown, the stores announced sales and music played brilliantly at plazas throughout the city. Christmas was upon us and in high gear. But did this wonderful spirit reach YSU's cam pus? Of course it did! Professors wore pleasant grins on their otherwise solemn faces as they made vain efforts to buy presents on a teacher's salary, so as not to be outdone'by the wealthy steel worker next door. And then there come problems. of academic etiquette . . . should members of the school of edu cation send Christmas cards to Dr. Azncer? The Three Wise Men (Dr. Rob erts, Dr. Morrison, Frank Polite) were seen riding camels across cam pus (donated by members of the I.S.O.) re-enacting the now famous pilgrimage to President Pugsley's of fice, bearing gifts of gold, frankin cense, and myhrr. Certainly the spirit of Christmas reached the faculty. Dr. Riley even admitted seeing a star above the of fice of Father Lucas and it was ru mored that Rev. CantrcII made Fa ther Esposito an honorary member of UCCF. The Dean's Bag Lunch celebrated with 86.6 proof cheer and Dean Painter dispensed chocolate covered birth-control pills. Ah, yes, the wonder, the euphoria of yuletide cheer has descended on the campus. Even the unwashed, un shaven element has a certain glow about them. Of course, they may we wearing luminous beads, which may well account for their glow, but even their gay and charming faces lend more happiness to this great season. Just to watch them merrily trip across campus is enough ot warm the heart of even the most callous Scrooge. Reindeer were seen atop the Mo tor Bar, and a roIly-polly little man dressed in red, with a long white beard was seen dispensing gifts to everyone. Unfortunately, hs was ac cused of socialism and was promptly set upon by members of the Young Republicans Club. Following this traumatic experi ence, Old Saint Nick stumbled around asking everyone if he'd been a good little boy this year, and was subsequently arrested by the Intelli gence & Security Division of the YPD, charged with use, possession, and conspiracy to sell'kindness. Now that my boss was out of action, it became incumbent upon me as head ELF to take over the duties of Santa's midnight excursion into the homes of good little boys and girls on December 24. Only once before had my Elfish duties required my services on that important date, that was during the Blitz when San ta was flying a Spitfire for the RAF (Santa is always on the right side) and it became necessary for me to take over the last half of his flight to South America and Disneyland. That in itself was a harrowing ex perience as I was attacked by a group of small boys in the Anaheim Shopping Center and spend half the night listening to recorded Christmas carols in Sears. In any event, I am currently checking Santa's list, and will un doubtedly check it twice, in the course of events finding out who's naughty and nice. Unlike Santa, I demand bourbon in place of milk and cookies and have no compunc tion about delivering toys to bad little girls, providing they're over Instructor: Sam Staff, B.V.D. Today we offer the final in Nonsense 501. All students who pass this final may apply to get into the advanced Nonsense course ?502. The applications will be reviewed by Schmoineili.

I categorically refuse to go down into dirty chimneys and de liver anything harmless. If it's a toy he wants, he should get a gun . . . it'll prepare him for life. I don't wish to sound diabolical, but every doctor and nurse kit I deliver will contain one real scapel and a set of surgical sponges, so the kids can leave them inside their patients . . . I'm aiming for medical realism. Of course, there's always the chance that Santa will make bail or be arraigned before Christmas and have his sentence commuted to some lesser crime against society. (Al though peddling kindness is a pretty serious offense). If so, I can relax Christmas Eve with the Elf's woman and the kids and look forward to a quiet yuletide. If not, guard your chimneys with your life,, for I, The Elf of the JAMBAR, shall ride again through the ethereal'heights and in to your homes and hearts. Disregarding humor (?) for one moment, may I personally take this opportunity to wish all the faculty and all the students and alt the administrative and maintainencc help, a VERY MERRY CHRIST MAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!,And if that ain't a stupid ending, I'll eat Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blintzes. Young People jing The World By Pam Kubek In an age of war, pressure, and frustration where feelings are pro apathy, there exists a group of peo ple with convictions. This group is an integral part of every generation and succeeds -in bolstering the dull American public. Their unity is comprised of basic, fundamental ideals, principles and beliefs and they are supported by in terested peers. Their weapons are simple, their goals are impossible, their tactics are revolutionary. They merely desire a peaceful co existence made possible through the code of love. The group is psyched; the group is dramatic; the group is youth! But, aside from the national level, there is a campus level which brings us closer to home. Students on every college campus, through the medium of their student council, regulate and. control campus laws and their sub sequent enforcement. The University of Pittsburgh stu dents petitioned long enough and loud enough and finally succeeded in the school changing its policy to ward the war. Innumerable colleges have changed social restrictions as well as causing the dismissal of fa culty members as well as deans whom they felt were detrimental to their well-being. >, This, is not an article in defense of Berkeley, but it is an article ask ing for the support of the student body behind a belief being sounded by a fellow student. A man with convictions is a man with character, but one man can not change the world by himself. He needs interest, support and considera tion. He needs to be heard above the din of confusion?he needs a chorus of voices to. shout' his cause. Students of Berkeley may not be highly admired, but they possess a campus unity and student backing which can only result in action. The youth of today are changing the world?they're yelling together and are heard. They're demanding things they want and getting them. They . are "what's happening". But what, may I ask, is happening in Youngstown?!?
