The faculty meeting of June
2, 1971 brought several changes
Including additions to the 1971
curriculum, a change in guest

T^e faculty curriculum committee voted to add two courses,
French 13-14andCIvil Engineering
90-91, descriptions of which appear
in this year's catalogue.
The faculty voted to change
guest privil^es such that each

its own guest code but rather visitation In all living groups would be

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE, EASTON, PENNSYLVANIA
Matriculation:
First Impressions
Of
Lafayette
Freshmen do not appear as bewildered and lost as I had expected,
and the upper-classmen are
friendlier than I had expected.
Student services, such as the
bookstore, dining hall, post offlce,
etc., are not quite as efflcient
as, I suspect, they should be. The
number of students employing
these services Is large, I realize,
but. waiting in line a half hour
for lunch becomes rather tedious.
A wait to approach the bookstore
cashier is understandable, but
standir^ outside die doors of the

Dean's Office Rules
Snack Bar HMf Limits'
To Non-Student Visitors
The college will bar all persons
not connected with the college from
the Marquis Hall snack bar,
announced Dr. Herman C. Kissiah,
Dean of Students.
Dr. Kissiah's decision was
made after extensive consultations
with members of die student
government and faculty.
The Student Council, on May
12, 1971, "suggested siror^ly"
that some measures be considered
to remedy the situation existing
In the snack bar area, and recommended that age limits be established, or that certain hours be
set aside for the useof non-coll^e
students.
According to Dr. Kissiah, a
large number of complaints from
students, faculty, and parents of
area high school students, rumor

and general "disrespect for coU^e
property" necessitated this action.
A program of supervision by
student ushers is in force and
these ushers will have the authority
to refuse admission to the building
to non-students. Dr. Kissiah issued
a memorandum stating that,
"students are encouraged to carry
vrtth them some Item of Identification which would Indicate their
status at the collie."
The present program of supervision has generally been considered successful, according to
Dr. Kissiah, and student ushers
indicate that there have been no
problems arising from town students
attempting
to enter

"Checkpoint Charlie" - a possible solution to the much-discussed Marquis snack bar problem?
Congress Confronts Legislative
Congress faces a backlog of
39 major l^lslatlve Items as It
returns to work after a fourweek recess. In the words of House
Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford
p-Mlch.), "While time marches,
die Congress crawls."
First on the list is President
Nixon's crash program for reviving the economy. The three
measures Congress must approve
are: (1) repeal of the ten percent
auto excise tax, p) Increased personal income tax exemptions to
$700 startii^ next year Instead
of 19731, and (3) a ten percent job
developmera tax credit for one
year and five percent thereafter
to encourage industrial investment
and more jobs.
The next priority Item Is reactivation of the draft until mld1973. The President's plan for a
phase-out of the draft after 31
years near-continuous operation
was passed by the House and awaits
Senate approval. The Mansfield
amendment requiring American
troops to leave Vietnam within nine
months now reads as a "sense
of the Corigress" resolution that
the troops be withdrawn as soon
as possible - - language that may
displease the Senate, althoiigh It
won House approval on a 298-104
roll-call vote.
Other measures Congress faces
Include:
Revenue sharlr^: The President's seven-bill, $15 billion plan
for Increased power to the states
awaits further Senate hearings.
Three of the six special revenue
sharir^ bills have not even been
scheduled for hearlr^s.
Higher education: The President's proposed l^lslatlon to refocus c o l l i e aid toward low-income students passed the Senate
in modified form and is up for
further consideration In the House.
The proposed National Foundation
for Higher Education has not been
considered.
Environment: The Administration's 18-blll plan of 1971 has yet

In any form. A sulfuremlsslons

Eminent Sociologist
Among 23 New Profs
The college hired 23 new faculty
members for the 1971-72 academic
year, eiqiandli^ the faculty by about
three members.
Many of the new Instructors
came to the college because it
offered one of the presentiy rare
job openli^s in the academic world.
Aside from this and odier personal
reasons, many of them were
attracted to the college by Its
relative smallness.
Among the new faculty memlsers
is die new head of the depanment
of artr(^logy and sociology, William M. Dobiner, a well known,
sociolojjist.
Mr.
Dobriner,
who came here from Hofstra University, has specialized in die
sociology of die metropolitan area
and has written several books on
sociology topics.
The psychology department
gained two new members, James
McCormack from the University
of
Alberta
(Canada)
and
Mary Schild, formerly a faculty
member of die University of Virginia. They were attracted to die
college partly by the program of

Five days to grind and two days
to be social. Five days to think
and two to play. Five days for men
and tvro days for women. That was
the way it was at Yale, and that
was the way it remained, even during the first year of coeducation.
We call It the Weekend System.
A promlncra part of the System
Is the mixer--a dance sponsored by
the men of a particular college {«
Yale a "collie" Is a residential
unit housing between 200 and 350
students) for the express purpose
of meeting women. Women from
one or moreglrls' schools wouldbe

charter buses for several hours
to the door of the college. In an
Ideal scenario, couples would meet
at the mixer, dance, and visit each

follow. For die boy, such a vistis
called, at Yale, a "road trip."
Then, again Ideally, around the
senior year, one such match would
be more promlsii^ than all those
preceding it and the couple would
fall in love and get married after
graduation.
Actually, weekend dating Is
much more complicated and much
more agonizing. Both the mixer
and the road trip are difficult

Quotation of The Week
The crisis in the metaphysical identity
of man reflected in the metaphor "the
death of God" remains the unsolved philosophical and spiritual dilemma of modem
times. How are we to come to terms with
the tragic character of human existence
in an age in which there is widespread loss
of confidence in all absolute or transcend
ent points of reference will remain t b
agonizing philosophical problem for gen
erations after the popular press has tiret
of "death-of'God" theologians.

I spoke to God last week!
I used to be of the opinion that God
only reveals Himself in pastoral settings,
with a shepherd and the flock and the
whole bit. But, He proved me wrong.
It was about 3:00 in the aftemoon.
I was sitting in my favorite armchair, reading my favorite magazine, when all of a
sudden I felt an overwhelming urge to get
up and walk around my suite. After ten
laps I collapsed in the middle of the room.
And then I heard it . . . a slow, methodical
speech pattern . . . at about the same intensity as my stereo when it's turned all
the way down.
"RBZ," it whispered
cautiously
( N O T E : without the customary hghtning
and thunder). I looked around the room,
but N O T H I N G , except the ordinary slop,
was there.
Again It whispered, "RBZ . . . RBZ
. . . Fm calling you"
The holy murmuring was coming from
the light bulb on the ceiling. God, that
Master Ventriloquist, was at His very
best. Now I'm no dummy, but I know
spiritual vibrations when I experience
them. I decided to play along with His
little prank.
"Yes Sir. Dear Sir. Can I be of some
help to you?"
"RBZ, I have decided to make you
the first prophet to come along in 2,000
years. Yes, it has been a long time since I
last contacted your spiritual control station on Earth. But, in that period I have
been busy creating 104,000 new worlds.
At any rate, I have decided to reassure
the people of Earth (irrespective of race,
creed, or national origin) that I am alive
and well, and existing in the celestial
heavens."
"But, O Holy One, I'm asking what
I can do for my universe."
"Well, I told you boy; you're going to
be my new prophet."
Letters To The Editor
"Huh?"
"You're going to be the anti'Nietzsche.
You're going to remind the people of
Earth that my Law still holds. You're
going to go from the mountains to the
valleys, all the while basking in M y glory."
"But, what should I say? I mean,
should I tell 'em God sent me? Ha, ha."
He didn't seem to appreciate that one.
"Look, damn it. Tell them that I cannot tolerate injustice any longer. I'm going
to have to start putting my foot down."
"But, how does one become a prophet
overnight?"
" W h y , one proclaims it, of course."
His omniscience threw me for a second. W h y hadn't I thought of that? Just
think, a whole new life was being set before my very eyes, and all I had to do was
grab the opportunity. I couldn't say "no"
to God anyway (all my life I've had this
Messiah complex).
And what a bfe it would be! All those
millions of people kissing my feet, and
rubbing English Leather on my back, and
drying my sweaty forehead. I could be
like a father to all of them. But, there was
one question which kept bothering me.
" W h y me, O Shining One?"
"Huh?"
" W h y have You chosen me to represent You in these times of moral decadence?"
' T h e r e are no why's in this world,
o ignorant one."
"When should I start my holy mission:

I'm His new prophet!

SNACK BAR LOCK OUT
To the Editor:
llie Lafayette College snack
bar has been closed to all residents
of Easton wiio are not students
at tlie CoUege, friends of students,
or are not in some way employed
Ijy tlie CoUege. As a student and
potential voting citizen of Easton,
I am appalled by ttiis action. It is
tills student's belief tiiat ttie decision to close the snaclc bar to townspeople (aimed primarily at high
school age youtli) is Ixith unsound
and shortsighted.
There are several reasons why
the concept of restrictive admission at the snack bar Irritates me.
First, In light of the recent decision by the State Attorney General
to permit college students in the
State of Pennsylvania "to register
to vote in the area that they attend
school, the restrictive decision
by the college concerning the snack
bar seems Irrational. Presently
a student at Lafayette CoUege can
be a voting resident of Easton.
This means that a student at Lafayette has the potential to in some
way regulate life In Easton, but
no reciprocal action is possible.
The decision to permit lafayette
students to vote in Easton has
made us In effect part of the
Eaaton community. With It should
come a recognition of the responsibility to attempt to comprehend
the nature of Easton's needs and
problems, llie closure of the snack
bar to townspeople seems to Ignore

any attempt to benefit the city.
Second, at the same time that
tbe CoUege has closed the snack
bar to "townspeople," It has not
restricted the nature of the audiences attending the lectures - concerts series, fine arts fUcks,
library prlvUeges, etc. In other
words the College does not seem
to mind older residents of Easton
(who are usually tbe ones attend*
Ing the at>ove mentioned activities)
using college resources. By
excluding
Easton
adolescents
from the snack Inr except as guests
of Lafayette students but not excluding the audience at other activities on campus, the College
seems to IM implementing an Inequitable double standard which
at its roots seems to segregate
by age. I find this concept irascible
and counter to my personal moral
standards.
Third, I believe the fact that
the snack liar was closedtotownspeople without any attempt at an
Interim solution shows that the
coUege has tried to dispense with
the situation as "simply" as it
can. However, It ts necessary to
realize that the solutions which
are most worthy are oftentimes
not the most "simplel" It is my
belief that the college should implement a proctorial system slraUar
to the one they have begun but
without excluding townspeople.
Fourth, the closure of the snack
bar to townspeople represents a
treatment of symptom, not cause.

Last year, Student Council (leaders of tomorrow) took away half the budget of the "Marquis" (literary magazine) because they thought "elite
projects" (art projects) were "fiscally irresponsible" (too expensive), extravagant (too big) and too selective (too small). We also failed to meet
other conditions, namely that we should stimulate alumni giving, build strong bodies 12 ways, feature boosten, not knockers; and culturally
acclimate students for unflinching service in organizations like Student Council, which specialize in making people inseniltive to education so
as to be placated with training. At any rate, we've resigned; and any talented underclassman who wants a staff position (including "editor..)
Mn get it. If no one shows up by October 30th, then the editorship will be given to Didi Bradbury, (who practically asked for it at the last
Student Council meeting.) Contact "the Marquis" (and get a copy of last.year's controversial little gem) through campus box 482. Incidentally,

modern Greece, the air Is thlcl«
witii sweat and oppression.
Tlie first two weelts of my
stay in Greece were devoted to tfie
flrst collage.
It was as luscious as it sounds. I then moved
to a fishing village on an Aegean
Island where I spem the next
month. The name of the island
was Aeglna. and it was the closest island to Ftraeus of any of
the visited A^ean Islands. This
had advantages and disadvantages.
Because it was so close to a large
city. I could not, by Greek standards, call it primitive. I will
mention here that hot water was
very scarce and very expensive.
One mixed curse and blessing
was that because of the proximity
to the mainland, the island was
used by Athenians escaping the
infernal heat of the city on weekends. Consequently, there were
very few foreign tourists. As I
pointed out, this was both good
and bad. American tourists are
an irritating breed, but the Greek
people got Increasingly harder to
bear the l o i t e r I stayed inGreece.
Impoaaibla Life
The majority of tfie Greek people lead an Impossible life. The
first system in which they are
jailed i s a complex and oppressive network of outdated social
customs. Women have to wear
black from the day their husbands
die to tiie day they die. They can,
liowever. remarry. Consequently,
It ts a common sight to s e e a
young woman in tight black pants,
a black lace blouse, and a black
bra. \ten are not allowed to marry until all of their sisters are
married. Hence, the pattern of
life repeats where men who are45
marry women who are 16, tiie
men die, and tiie women are in
black.
This leads to several unapperizlr^ situations. First, in Atiiens
this archaic scheme Is breakir^
down, but not so that it involves
any Wnd of sophisticated protest.
Girls sneak out on dates. The
second effect of this situation involves the men. They are under
constant, desperate pressure to
prove thelrvirllitytosatisfysocial
custom. This, by the way, is part
of the theory behind Greek dancing.
The vfindlr^, tense, and Intense
choreography
Is,
presumably, a show of virility, and, inevitably, one man will break from
the chain and do a solo ejdilblrion,
which looks like he is movlr^
throi^h kinetic syrup with every
muscle.
The next obstacle that the Greek
people have to deal with is an
impossible low sundard of living.
Here I would like to tell a story.
I -was walkitig along the harbor
road at around midnight one night
with two friends. During the day
the road Is lined with horses and
carriages which serve as taxis for
the people comirig ofl'the ferries.
As we walked by we saw a man
trying to get his horse and carriage
home for the night. At first the
horse was simply stubborn about
moving, but then she started rearing up on her iilnd legs and foaming at the mouth. The driver
climbed down out of the carriage
and b ^ a n beating the horse. He
beat, tied a noose around the
horse's neck, tighter, and beat
some more. The girls I was with

There have been numerous cases
of thefts ranging from small
amounts of cash to television and
stereo sets, typewriters and clothing.
In one Columbia dormitory a
student drug dealer was robbed of
$1,000 and marijuana, hashish and
other drugs by a sneak thief who
was well aware o f his victim's
habits and operations.
And there was tiie case of the
student in another dorm who opened
tiie door to his to find himself
confronted by two youths, one
armed with a pistol. He was robbed
of a stereo set and cash.
The rip-off. In the current
campus context, is an assault and
generally theft of some valuable
from another person, although the
term may be used for any act of
violence agai nst any person or even
a disliked university or government facility. But lately It Is
people, and particularly students,
who are getting "ripped off."
A major reason for this Increase In tiie number of assaults
and robberies is tfie growtii of tiie
underground dri^ culture.
Although heroin is rare In the
campus environment, because of a
sophisticated knowledge of l u
debiUtatlng effects and extreme
expense once the user becomes
addicted, large quantities of other
drugs are being spread increasingly by student dealers.
And by tiie very nature of tiie
traffic, they are ideal targets for
fellow students, or occasionally
knowledgeable outsiders, i

Like Putnam. Bateman has been
foreced to assemble a new offensive line and find a quarterback.
Leo Gassienca, a 6-3 195 junior,
has had limited experience, but
should take over at quarter. Sophomores should dominate the revamped offensive line, with Dave
Reinhelmer at guard the only returnee.
Only one of the Rutgers' defensive front four is back, so reserves and sophomores will have
to u k e over. Likewise in theScarlet Knight secondary; only one
starter is available and Bateman
has looked to his offensive unit for
help. Senior Bob Shutte was
switched from flanker to safety.
This 67th game between the

Dr. George Sause, professor

effort to recruit students to help

that approval of this proposal will

Getting Together
Continued from page 4
The boys first ask pretty girls
and girls wltfi good figures to
dance. And girls usually prefer
handsom boys or boys with s o m e
sort of "cooL" Being "cool" Is
not necessarily based on looks. It
means that somebody "puts himself together" well, that he walks
or talks with some authority, that
he looks "Interesting" or ** «*5eIt Is a vague sort of quality-but girls tend to agree on whether
a male is "together" or not. Botii
sexes know these initial criteria
are Inadequate and demeaning, but
everyone is afraid to takeachance
and disregard them. People a r e
very conscious of how they look to
their friends. I.e.. how their partner will reflect on their own desirability. A junior was very frank
about the situation:
The girls stream into the hall,
except for a few women who have
been "picked o f f on the way by
friends, former dates, or a few
extremely forward Yalles. At this
polm, theyceasetoexistasamass.
Some head for the dance floor,
others for the beer table, and a few
for the ladies' room. At a mixer
tfie ladies' room Is to women as
^ e beer table Is to men. It is
also a prop—an excuse to get out
of a relationship and a way to
leave the scene if it Is becomli^
too uncomfortable. It is so overused and predictable that it usually
prompts a rather cynical response
in the young man who hears it.
For example, a sophomore told
us how he reacts In such a situation:
You have to be ready for a few giris
to riioot you down. But i raally don't
respect the ones who aren't clever or
nka enough to do it with soma style.
Like the girl who dances with you once
and then says, "I have to go to the
washroom."
Nina times out of ten
tlMf s just the oldest excuse in the world
to get rid of a guy-and she knows it.
So the scene is set. Groups of
girls stand together In cliques of
two or three. Each group seems
to have its own strategy. Some
girls stand slightiy apart so that
they are more approachable; some
stand close together and lool; indifferent. The general strategy of
both sexes seems to be a question
of iiow to achieve the maximum
e^qposure with the least possible
risk.
That Is, how to be seen
and appreciated and asked for a
dance (or be given the cue that
someone would like you to ask her
for a dance) without being seen as
alone and needing someone to dance
with.
No one wants to look
neglected or miserable. Thus, tfie
conflict: how to project desirabiUty and popularity witiiout risking a situation where tfiat image
may be destroyed. One does not
want to seem hur^ry for attention,
yet availability must be communicated. Few people can succeed
all the time.
The men rate the women and the
women rank the men primarily on
personal appearance. Since the
music Is deafenii^ly loud, littie
verbal communication is possible
on the dance floor. As one girl
said.
"How can you expect
to really meet anyone at four
hundred decibels?" TWs can be
devastating. If there is no way
to prove your wortWness other
than your physical appearance,
the mixer situation can appear
hopeless to all but the most attractive.
In any other boy-girl
encounter there is a chance to
talk, to be clever or interestir^
or winy. If the other person Is
not Interested, it can be rationalized In a variety of ways—
as a lack of things in common.
a fundamental difference in world
views, or dissimilar kinds oftemperament. But if only one criterion
exists, tfie situation is bound to be
more tense and p-tentially more
distressing.
There are fewer
rationalizations
available-- and
fewer things that one can promise
to do differeraly next time. The
Idea that one is not attractive,
or that one does not attract tiie
kind of people one always tiiought
one should, is a difficult realization to come to terms wltii. so
when rejection Is obvious and even
recurrent wltiiln the same fourhour period. It makes Inroads
on the Individual's perception of
himself and his relationship to
others.
Thus,
tiiere
is a stroi^
approach-avoidance tension In tfie
air. Most people are at tiie mixer
to meet someone, but everyone Is
trying to avoid an uhpleasant situation. When the music begins
only a few people—seemli^ly habitues ofthe mixer curcuit—dance
right away. Then a few more
people get up their courage and
soon the dance floor Is pretty

uncomfortable.
What was even

tiieir anger is due to the fact
that males have the advantage In

be a reaction to the cultural value
that says it is more Improtant for
a woman to be beautiful than for
a man to be handsom. (As we
mentioned earlier, men have more

In any case, the girls understood

is something you can do.
It
requires
joining
a
revolutionary, underground group
involved In a simple protest. The
group asks only one thing - use
your internal combustion machine
as little as possible. Walk, don't
ride. Try walking to classes,
walking across campus, walking
downtown. Everyone has heard the
medical propaganda for using your
legs instead of your accelerator.
Tbe exhaust comparison gives the
edge to walking. (Carbon dioxide Is

of a walking campus would be the
end of parking hassles, elimination of a great deal of pedestrian
versus auto tag, and mayt>e even
the loss of the infamous meter

Don't scoff at this plea, and
start with the "bigger than tlie
both of us" argument. Someone
has to start. At some point a
change in lUe style has to take
place. Slow down - allow more
time for the walk rather than the
ride. Bike riding can be used as
a withdrawal method for those

"New Pards" Meet Rutgers;
Inexperience Key Factor
Young and inexperienced players are expected to dominate both
starting squads tomorrow when
Nell Putnam debuts as Lafayette
coach against Rutgers at Fisher
Field. The contest pits two teams
which have lost key players through
graduation. Only ten Pard starters
return, just three on offense, while
Rutgers Coach John Bateman must
fill holes created by the departure
of thineen starters.
Defensive end Joe Person and
team co-captain Ed DiSalvo, who
led the Leopards in tackles last
year, anchor a veteran Lafayene
defense. Putman is confident that
the secondary, with Barry Hughes
and Jon Cureton returning, and tiie
linebacking corps led by Don Meyer
will be the strength of the team.
The Pards will play a five man
defensive front with DiSalvo as the
"Leopard" or roving monsterman
of the defense.
A major task for Putnam has
been rebuilding the Leopard offense, where only three regulars
return. Co-captain Pete Tonks,
New Coach Forsees Good Season
For An Aggressive Soccer Team

After nearly a week of our Inquires concernlr^ the soccer coach
being answered by "The soccer
coach? Oh. you mean Coach Clinton — I don't know where he Is."
later, "Coach Williams? I'm not
sure where he is. He's probably
at the soccer field.", we two cub
reporters finally caught up with new
head soccer coach William (Gity)
Williams in the basketball officeat
Alumni gym.
When introductions were completed, we filed downstairs to the
soccer office where we settled,
facing the coach across a wide expanse of cluttered papers which
must have been the official soccer
desk.
It was quickly discovered that
the job was quite new to him. "I
didn't have any idea Td be here
until August 25" he e^lalned.
While this Is his first job as a

added, "I did play some soccer

With the heavens pouring down
on him. Coach Williams had not
had much of an opportunity to view
Us team. After only three
practices the coach did, however,
see some things In his players.
"We have guys who want to play,
they don't want to fool around...
We have talent, too. It's up to us
to put It togetiier." He Is also
depending on the co-captains for
a view, "especially earlier in the
season. They know the players
better tiian I do,"
"If we work hard we'll have a
successful year," he continued.
"He (a player) just won't play If
he doesn't do the job," he suted.
referring
to aggressiveness.
"They (the team) play aggressively and I think this is Important.
Attitude is half the battie In forming a good team."
As for the occasional error,
Williams felt," It's not something
tiiey try to do. Nobody tries to make
a mistake. And If the guy's bad.
It's my fault for playlry him."
Just then the office telephone
rang. After a brief conversation
Coach Williams hung up, and Informed an unseen swimming coach
in the next office, "Somebody from
the World Federation of Water Polo
called and asked for a postponement of the water polo tournament." After a voice from the next
office replied suitably. Coach Williams added, "Yeah, it's pretty
rough, isn't It?", contemplating the
rigors of water polo.
He turned back to us, bemoaning the lack of exposure soccer
has today. Co-captain Sal Vitale,

called "untiring" byhls coach, will
be back at fullback. Doug Elgin,
who lettered as a sophomore, is
slated to go with Tonks In the backfield. Lack of depth has forced
players to learn plays at several
positions, as no adequate replacements are available in case of
injuries. As a whole, the unit Is
small but fast.
The graduation of Rich N*:Kay
leaves three candidates for the
quarterback position. Senior Jack
Hickl, who subbed well for McKay
last year, appears to have the edge
on junior Doug Johnston and Tim
Grip, star of last year's freshman
team. Hick's only stan last year
came against Delaware, and he
registered a fine performance.
Putnam plans plenty of passing
