Damn It Colby, WAKE UP!Bob Anderson's resignation requires us to reexamine

the nature of the job of Executive Chairperson of STU-A,and more importantly,.to analyze the meaning and implica-tions for the whole student body. The job of the Executive IChairperson encompasses every aspect of student life to suchan extent that its occupant is constantly approached onevery issue imaginable and at every time imaginable. So de-manding and draining is the commitment made to the jobthat ever during spare time or study time there is no escape,for the mind. It can conceivably become ah ugly circle ofjob commitments and academic obligations, both mutual-ly frustrating and defeating. These are, on the surface, thereasons which Anderson cited as decisive in his resignation.

Somewhere, sometime, Bob must have felt that hecould indeed lead STU-A and finalize some issues in the fa-vor of student opin ion and desires. To say that Bob Ander-son succeeded or failed in this is totally beside the point.The importance lies in the fact that the mental tension of thethe job is overwhelming ; too much emphasis is placed onthe individual at the top as the focus for the reception anddissemination of all student opinion. Students can expresstheir views directly to the Administration , or even better,to President Strider himself. Furthermore , if enough stu-dents do express themselves, Eustis will be forced to listenmore attentively. Students must take a new and m ojrc activerole.

It is evident that the students' responsibility is tovoice their opposition of , or support for , the issues STU-Ais considering. Studen t apathy must wot continue. Ander-son's resignation illustrates this emphatically; the studentsshift their obligations on to the shoulders of the few stu-dents in STU-A, creating an overload not only of work, butof psychological responsibility.

STU-A, by its nature, can only be expected to gothrough the channels of prescribed change in formal, or-ganizational ways. They must work through committeesand meetings while the students themselves can seek to ac-tively demonstrate their opinions, not just in STU-A mee-tings or to STU-A officers , but to President Strider himself.Without a doubt the most efficient and effective way to getsomething accomplished is to demonstrate forcefull y to theBoard of Trustees and President Strider exactly what stu-dents think. Are not the students the reason for the exis-tence of the college? The administration cannot be allowedto deny a concern for the students, but they will deny thatconcern just as long as the students let them. It is under-standable that the Trustees look toward the long term healthof Colby, but this is scarcely ju stification for denying theneeds of students here and now. As the semester comes toa close and as juniors and seniors end their college careers,time becomes a crucial factor. Now is the time to actl

There have been issues this year which should havecommanded the attention and action of Colby students.These involved decisions which affect every student, butwhich the students have passively delegated out as tlie re-sponsibility of STU-A. After all, from where does STU-Aderive its power, the students or itself? It becomes a frus-trating and disillusioning exercise for the leader of STU-Ato try to assert the authority of a group that is uninteres-ted and unwilling to care or participate .

There is a vicious circle at work here. Students justi-fy their inability to do something about Minorities, the Ven-ture Funds, the selection of a new Dean, the 120 credit re- .quirement, on an overload of studying. It is grossly ironicthat students use "too much work" as their excuse for notattending the STU-A meeting concerning itself with the re-duction of credit hour requirements held last spring. Theclass of 1976 is the first class in the recent history of Colbyto graduate under the 120 hour requirement: no other eventsymbolizes the need for student action on credit hour re-duction than the resignation of the STU-A Executive Chair-person because he is in academic jeopardy. Obviously,there exists no balance between the extremes of academicsand what is called "ex tra-curricular activities" though thelatter are essential to the maintenance of an academic com-munity, There must be a point at which there are no moreexcuses, where sacrifices and action are taken. To effect achange , students must step out and publicly disagree withAdministration policies. Moreover , there do exist chancesto express opposition. Anyone may speak to President Strider in his office, or around campus. He has held severalOpen Houses at his home to encourage student input , andwill be holding another this coming Sunday. There is no

logical reason students should not take full advantage ofthis to tell him exactly what they want done with the Ven-ture Funds , that they want more Minorities at Colby, orthat they will not tolerate the 120 credit hour graduationrequirement.

What is the purpose of going directly to Strider? Heis the key to the solution of the problem. A fter all , he isthe leader of the school. He can effect change if so persua-ded. If he is personally convinced of a priority, he has thepower and prestige to push it through the red tape proce-dures of endless committee meetings. No one has the po-wer and influence in the Colby Community that he does;all that faculty, students and , for that matter, the rest of

the administration have is the ability to persuade. If Stri-der is made to sense a need, brought around by say, 200individuals telling him what they perceive as a need, wemight just get those issues out of committees, and into ac-tion. If not, the idea of working through "proper channels"has demonstrated) ly outlived its usefulness. In the finalanalysis, students have a great potential for action which re-mains unrealized, and until the students begin honestly ca-ring about what happens to their education little can be ac-complished.

The job of Executive Chairperson of STU-A cap.benothing more than disillusioning and enervating. Facedwith dismally insufficient student involvement and the un-ending procedures of the Board of Trustees and the admin-istration, the STU-A Chairperson who starts put as motiva-ted ends up utterly frustrated . Moreover, the system pro-motes that frustration , it impedes any rapid progress andprevents accomplishments from.being seen or felt. Changesbegun this year arc not likely to be implemented until aftertoday 's students site gone. Students are constantly put incompromising negotiations when there is no compromisepossible. The result of the processes a crisis in leadershipno better illustrated than by Anderson's resignation. Thecommunity of students cannot expect its leaders to battlethe administration and its traps without undivided and ac-tive student support. The leaders otherwise become over-whelmed,not merely with work, but with psychologicalresponsibility and perhaps, personal alienation.

It is indicative of some evil in the system that a leaderwho willingly devoted himself to the students has decidedto resign. Whether it be for personal reasons, academic pro-blems, or a sense of frustration with an ineffectual system,the simple fact indicates that something is causing a personproven to be capable to abandon his role of leadership. Weare indeed faced with a crisis of leadership not likely to besolved by a new Executive Chairperson who will be facedwith the same dilemmas. Therefore, the balance of criti-cism for inaction tends not toward Bob Anderson himself ,but toward the lack of student support coupled with the ul-timately ineffectual disillusioning nature of negotiationswith the Administration. The time has come to. stand upand fight for our beliefs.

Decis ion Bes t For MlBob Anderson's decision to resign from his post as

Executive Chairperson of the Colby Student Associationwas perhaps as courageou s a move as any Colby studentmight have to make during his four year term here. It willundoubtedly open him up to criticism and abuse from thoseignorant of the real responsibilities and pressures such apost commands . However, he can only be commended forhis decision, for as an honest and extremely hard workingstudent, he truly felt that it would be best for the studentbody, as well as for himself. Bob was as good a chairpersonas Colby could have hoped to elect. His talent for listeningto all sides before making any decision and his forceful butsincere efforts to fight for those principles in which he be-lieved should guide future chairpersons in their conduct.

It is time for everyone to realize that an extra-curri-cular activity su ch as Representative to the Student Councilis much m ore than a mere activity - it is practically a full-tirqc job. Those who step forward this weekend to bid forthe vacant post should do so with this in mind , and onlyafter a thorough soul-searching session, Hopefully the shocking significance of this sudden and unprecedented resigna-tion ¦will spur the entire student body into action , but chan-ces are good that the next Executive Chairperson will facethe same unnecessary frustrations typical of the past.

Hunger is a very, abstract term for those who havenever experienced it. We, as well-fed Americans, bandythe word around lightly. The gulf between what we per-ceive as hunger and the physical and mental debilitationexperienced by the people of imppverished and underfedcommunities in the world is immensely large.

Terminology can be discussed and enumerated atlength. Facts are more startling; the most blatant fact isthat hunger exists in a world of plenty. Distribution of thewealth of our world's resourccs .is uneven ; food is a keyelement in this uneven distribution. Wc as the 'fat-cats'at the top must start to re-evaluate our philosophies so asto ensure even distribution of the world's res6urs.es. Elimi-nating hunger should be our first concern.

Next week is World Hunger Week. We encourageyou, the Colby community , to participate. Go to the sche-duled events. There is to be no peace and harmony on thisplanet until hunger is eliminated. We have the resources,yet must find the will.

All opinio ns in this newspaper not otherwise identifiedare those of the Colby ECHO ,

Founded in 187?, the ECHO is publishe d weekly,except during vacations and .examinati on periods,by the students of Colby College, and is printedby J ournal Publicatians , Belfast, Maine ,

The Colby Echo/ Volume 89 No. 8/ Fall 197 SEntere d as second-class mail at Waterville , MainePostmaster, send form 3579 toColby Echo , Colby College, Waterville, Maine 04901

Continued from page 1by voicing a desire to investigate Colby's educational philo-sophy and the app lication of that philosophy on the cam-pus. As Ed Harvey put it, "When I hear someone say thatthe main reason the faculty doesn't want to reduce the 120credit hour load is because 'we want to make the little bas-tards work' , 1 get worried."

Dealing With Issues Sanely

Other issues that Stu-A suggested as subjects for stu-dy and actioj i were women's housing (in relation to frater-nities), Roberts Renovation, the ICOC, reviewing the com-mittee system , student health care, library facilities, facultysize limitation , and the Student Association working pro-cess. Projects currently being undertaken by the PublicInformation Committee are a Centralized Information Cen-ter in Roberts; Faculty Evaluation, a Student Interest Sur-vey, and a Colby handbook. Current investigations includetenured faculty, selection and role of administrators.

One of the most importan t steps adopted by the Stu-A, if only informally, in their process of defining issuesand reaching th eir goals , is a proposal by Geroge Apter andSteve Mixter entitled "A Sane Method of Dealing withIssues." It suggests that when issues arise either from stu-dents or Board members, they should go to an ExecutiveMeeting (probably closed). Here Board members wouldtry to establish if it is indeed an issue that concerns stu-dents, and then delegate responsibility for further action toa student under the auspice of an Executive Committeemember. From there an investigation can be undertaken,resulting in a report to the Executive Committee and pos-sibly resulting in action . This method will seem simple, ifbureaucratic, but is advantageous because it defines the is-sue immediately (a pro blem with current issues), it dele-gates responsibility (someone is accountable), and it is con-tinuous and understandable. The one thing it is dependentupon, as is the success of all student issues, is student in-volvement, something we are currently lacking sorely.

New facu lty — Snee-S. Karl Mohel

Rochelle Snee, this year's Taylor lecturer, receivedher Bachelor's degree fronv the University of Maryland .and her Masters from the Univetsifj ko.f AV^shiiigtonat Seattle. She was a teaching^assjsjan't at Washington ffor six years while cqmpleting;her.Masters; and require- £ments towards her doctorate "there. • "

Her disserta tion dais with Saint Gregory ,(of Nanzianzus) through an autobiographical poemwritten in the fourth century, A.D. His poem basicallyencompasses an ecumenical council of the Orthodoxchurch held in 381 A.D. in Constantinople. Duringthat council, Gregory was chosen as Bishop of Con-stantinople; yet a few weeks later , within the samemeeting of the council, he was asked to resign becauseof a technicality in the Church laws of that era.Because of the obscurity of the law which deposedhim as Bishop, before he was even able to assumehis duties, and because this same law had been violatedby several other bishops whose positions were not questioned ,Ms. Snee belieyes that the decision to oppose him wasgreatly political. Why a council which originallyenthusiastically appointed him Bishop of Constantinople(and later as head of this very same council) and weekslater, very enthusiastically asked him to resign, is . ¦ ~a question which Ms. Snee plans to answer when herdissertation is completed . She has a few theories, butis relectant to put them in print before she has completedall of her research.

Ms. Snee, while spending much of her time teachingthe Classical languages and classical literature, hasintently observed the educational atm osphere atColby. In her estimation , the students with whom shehas come into contact are extremely enthusiasticand involved with their courses. She views Colby asbeing a very good small liberal arts school with highquality students.

Because of the amount of time necessary to herinstruction at Colby, Ms. Snee finds little time todevote to her dissertation. However, she hopes nextyear to venture to Greece to acquire the facts and materialnecessary for its completion.

************** i fi Irf) t*hc rVlfld *************. 'I ' m sorry, it-is not merely your graduatio n ,

it is Colby College 's 155tb commencement. " REUS

"I am tbe college. " NBW

Ah ves. . .commencem ent—the final act; as thecurtain falls signaling the end of my metamorphosiswith Colby College. There is perhaps no single thoughtI contemplate with greater felicity than that of gra-duation . Yet, when I ponder the aura that engulfsthe actuabeverit with a mixture of pristine visual andimage-conscious tradition: I am sadly confronted with 'another obvious example of my total lack of influence andidentity with the Colby administration. The abovequote was taken from a conversation between m yself,and the benificent head of our "liberal" institution;in which my zealous advance to have a part in theselection of a commencement speaker was tactfully ,but forcefully defeated in the manner well identi-fied with the office. Tradition precludes me onceagain. The truth is I am tired of the limiting conser-vative attitudes of the administration, who continually,(with hands raised in gestured uncertainty, and a big,"I'm just a regular guy" smile), divert and discourage manyattempts by students to lend direction to their owneducations—and always with bowed reverance to thesacred pillars of tradition.

Tradition has become to Colby merely the bulkwarkof rationalizations that college presidents use to justifyautonomous action. I resent the statement that thisis the college's 155th commencement; I am the substance,the animation and vitality of Colby College. I have littleuse for insipid tradition that denies my contributionsto my own education-we are already shadowed andcaught in the web of tradition , when we should bemoving; when we should be projecting towards the future .Tradition should not be a limiting structure of admin-istrative power; that instead of adding significanceto the present merely drags its weight in an attemptto find a peaceful static environment The past is

—Nathan B. Winstanleyimportant only as a vehicle to the present , and aresource, not a burden to the future. And thus, itis important to shed the blinders of solemn tradition,and begin to perceive the present, and shape the futureof our institution. I cannot justify the auton om ousselection of a commencement speaker by PresidentStrider in the name of Colby College; for it seems almostan ironic joke, a final conservative "ha-ha" thatColb y 's speakers have represented , not the emergingconsciousness of those graduating, but the traditional-conservative attitudes a "liberal" institution shouldbe questioning, instead of needing.

And yet, the status of our environment cannotbe blamed merely upon the administration , becausewe are a part of Colby also. Although our institutionlies dormant and sedate, we all suffer and reflect thesame, because we accept our limitations. Our poisonis the same ritualized tradition and self-defying mythologythat smooths over every inconsistency, and sedatesevery'sensate current of change. The limitations in-herent in our role as Colby students m ost of us neverencounter, or for that matter; care to encounter.So uncaring and unm otivated are most of us that weproceed through our four years content in the complacen-cy of non-commital observers. We are spoon fed with thenotion of our own apathy, to which we merely resignourselves, claiming no allegience to "the system",or projecting any viable alternatives, or modificationsfro m which our position would benefit. No actionis an action of support. We are, each and every oneof us, supporting every institutional prejudice , para-site and inhibiting rule or memo that has ever, and willever be shuffled through the in/out boxes in Eustis.Stop sitting and accepting; grab hold of your situationand if you like it , make it better—an d if you don'tlike it , construct an alternative. But just move, andkeep moving. . .It is not a process of bitching or being aradical , it is just a matter of caring who you are, and whatyou are doing.

Letters to the EditorWhere's the Task Force?

To the Editors.:

It was almost a year ago that the Studen tAssociation Task Force on Educational Reform, fullof vague Utopian visions and high hopes, launchedan ambitious campaign aimed at a restructuring ofColby's educational system—a restructuring that wouldallow every student a real choice in the organizationof his/her education. The Task Force put forth aprogram that wou ld reduce the number of coursesrequired for graduation, would revamp the area and .distribution requirements, would upgrade the advisingsystem, and would open more options in the grading ..system than now exist. Not a single proposal that theTask Force offered would have eliminated any optionthat the Colby student then had—the purpose of theTask Force proposals were to open new options forthe responsible student to consider. There were allsorts of underlying assumptions, though, that the Task

Force made as it was constructing its program. Weassumed that the Colby student really did have astake in his/her education, we assumed that the Colbystudent would not reject a series of proposals thatwould serve to open up the college requirements, andthirdly, we assumed that the administration and facultycould not help but be receptive to an overwhelmingsh o w of student support for such proposals.

These seemed to be fair assumptions. Yet the Colbycommunity does not always look at things-fairly.The Task Force was correct in its first two assumptions-there was a tremendous show of support for theTask Force proposals at a referendum held last November,as. an unprecedented 1428 of 1526 students castballots. The Task Force, convinced that the systemwould run true to its course, "brought its proposalsto the Educational Policy Committee for considerationand deliberation. The assumption here was that theEPC would rubber-stamp the proposals and send themon to the faculty for a vote.

Well, we blew it. Naive realists that we were,willing to believe what we were told and told whatwe wanted to hear, we did a superlative job of co-optingourselves and allowing ourselves to be co-opted. Theprocess did not run its right course. But we had examsto take and pape.rs..to. write. So, of course, a socialisj iue like the return , of freedom to a stagnating Insti-tution had to take a back seat to such wide-rangingand diverse topics as "Symbolism in the Final Chapter&iMoby Dick " and "What is the Metro-American?"This .is .not to^belittle,, eith^Mr. ;MeJyi}le or Mr.Goldman,- but if collegiate education continues ,in itspresent course, academic freedom might meet the samefate as Captian Ahab, though rhe graveyard will bea plastic homogeneous so-called liberal arts college insteadof the briny drink.

So what happened? A. big zero. We sat and watched asthe EPC cut the Task Force proposals to literal shredssubmitting to the faculty tor consideration a documelitthat had no resemblance to the proposals that theTask Force had submitted, neither in structure norspirit. And when the Colby faculty ripped even this watereddown proposal by a 3-1 m argin, we read about thevote' in the ECHO, then went back upstairs to finishthe alloted chapters in our Social Psychology text-books. The next week, we had forgotten that a vote hadeven been taken.

However, there are various and sundry reper-cussions from this episode that may not seem importantto every individual, but which are certainly affectingthe college as a whole. There is widespread feelingthat the college doesn't really consider the studentsas essential, that the administrate n does feel asPresident Strider commented on one forgettableoccasion last spring, that the students are an adjunctin the determination of college policy. There is asobering breach of faith evident when we see thehypocrisy of the college in terms of its philosophyas opposed to its educational practices, the final

blow, which might not be considered a blow at allby some, is that some of the more controversial studentsin attendance became fed up with the crap of the liberalarts in an oppressive setting and left. Some go toother colleges far more respectful of its students thanthis one, and some become so completely disenchantedwith the concept of undergraduate education thatit is unlikely that their names will ever appear ona drop/add slip again.

The unfortunate thing about this whole situationis that there is brutally efficient Catch-22 involved-students merit respect so long as they do not rockthe boat, but students who do not rock the boataren't worthy of respect. And this goes for all aspectsof the Colby political scene-no harsh words, findthe way to do your thing through the channels, and s>f you fin d that the channels don't do what you want 'them to, wait a while. And don't you dare raise yourvoices; So we're damned if we do, and we're damnedjf we don't. And if that's one of the tenets of thefree and unrestricted pursuit of an infinitely various

jtruth (Colby catalogue, p. 8-9)", then either someone's doing a very good job at defining their own terms,°r phere is something very corrupt arid wrong going on,*nd probably both. ' •* ¦ . "

The frightening thing is that the process is self-defeating. If the college really wants to attract aheterogeneous group of the b est young minds inAmerica, then it ought to off er something f or thoseyoung minds to grab onto. And if there is nothingfor those minds to grab, then it ought not do the boot-grinding-in-th'e-face when those students that do attendoffer fair policy for the college to adopt. The TaskForce proposals would not restrict anyone! All theywould do is free an oppressive structure. Evidently,the college regards the structure as necessarily oppres-sive. To me, the concepts of undergraduate educationand oppression do not mesh. To some administrator,holed away in a safe building years removed from studiesat an undergraduate level, the concepts do mesh.But, if the college doesn't watch out, it could easilyget snared in its own repressive web. What kind ofstudent can a college that is whitewashed in thoughtas well as skin color expect to attract? What kind ofstudent is the college going to hold on to? What kindof student is going to hold on to Colby? Insightfulyoung free-thinkers? There's a Dylanesque idiotwind blowing, and Colby is just flapping in thebreeze.

"Gtizeras — Be Informed"

Dear Editors:

The Criminal Justice Reform Act of 1975 will short-ly be up for consideration by the Congress, or at least theSenate. It is presently in the hands of the Senate JudiciaryCommittee. I commend Jane (Mrs. Kingsley H.) Birge fortelling about this S-l in the ECHO.

I hope many of our community will inform their congressman of their views about this proposed legislation.Your particular slant is not really my interest. You will .have your version acquired from attention or inattention.Scholars are needed as S-l comes to the fore. The bill isheavy freightut has already been derailed; it is 75 3 pageslong. It qould be tedious reading; its words are saccharineeuphemism s and labyrinthing codes. Our problems arcmanifold. The usual hastiness and inattention of some Congressmen. Congressmen are persons compelled to yea, nay ,or pass on approximately 3,000 legislative packages per ses-sion.

They have a grave shortage of reasonably neutral , ob-jective digests to guide them. We could turn to such as thetranspartisan Congressiona l Quarterl y. Then there lurks theperverse, willful general fear and remorse about criminals.There must be the hidden ideals of ordered law and lawfulcustom. We banish ourselves no less than we trample crim-inals. If we do that. Truly , most of our dangerous crimi-nals go scot free. Few persons held in prison are handledwith understanding , civility, or decency: There exists vir-tually no rehabilitation system available to the imprisoned.There is scarcely any movement for reform of the nationalcriminal cod es this bicentennial year. Mostly we punish ,.segregate, alienate, neglect and harass alleged criminals.

If we begin to face ourselves, we can conceivably be-gin to face the problems in dealing with criminals, I hopethis will happen. Is it a remote nine years, one month and20 days until the actual conditions of 1,984?

S-l has a history. I will note a shadow of a skeletal 'outline of that. In 1966 the National Commission On Cri-minal Law Reform was set out. Popularly, this was knownas the Brown Commission, because its chairman was PatBrown, formerly the governor of California. Transpartisan,the Brown Commission labored for over four judiciousyears. It was eminently understanding, expert, reputable,and prudent.

A "Real Theater"?

Dear ECHO Editors :Dr. Suss is not the only "theatre person" holding

reservations about our new "appealing, exciting and.imaginative little theatre." I will give the plans a littlemore credit than Dr. Suss. Instead of simplycalling the new performing arts center "a pretty box,"I wou ld call it a "pretty box" with a "cute platform"at one end. Don't get me wrong. The arts center will,without a doubt, be a "real" theatre. As ''rear" atheatre as Roberts loft or Given Audi. I would evengo so far to say that the new theater will be a goodone, for a high school. What it will not be is a serious,educational theatre facility at the college level. A ^student coming to Colby to gain an education in theatre asa sidelight ( a Dram a major being absurd in such abuilding), will find his or her view restricted to a40 x 20 foot platform.(give or take a few feet),Theywon 't have the foggiest notion (unless they go else-where) of what can be done creatively outside the"platform mode." Even worse; they will not havelearned how to do anything outside the "platform mode."

This facility, in short, will be restricting thestudent—something an educational institution shouldn'tstrive for.

Prof. Archibald has a lot more faith in hu mannature than I have. Once this hew theatre is builtI find it hard to believe Colby will ever appro priatethe money for a stage house. It would be more sensibleto function (as we have for a long time) with temporaryseats and our present lighting'equipment for a few years,rather than waste a million dollars on a permanentlyin adequate facility.

By combining a lot of creative imagination,hard work, and worst of all, time, Powder and Wigwill undoubtably stage some excellent shows on theirnew "appealing" platform. Prof. Archibald , on thatfuture occasion, will probably glow with inner satis-faction. Unfortunately the students who work on thoseshows will never see beyon d the fou r edges of thatplatform as long as they are at Colby.

Quiet PleaseDear Editors :

As a resident of Marrincr who manages to survive onan avcVage of six hours of sleep a night , I get downrightcranky when my requirements are disturbed. Severa l inci-dents which have evoked my crankiest moods have happened

1 to correspond to the early morning activities of KDR's allcampus parties. I've been removed from slumber to the tuneof "Wake Up, Marrincr", as well as by physical violence not

directed at sleepy residents, which neverthel ess has audibleI by-products; variou s "rights of virility", including hand to! hand combat bouts and , at the last party, the smashing ofthe globular street lights that line the paths of the New Dorms.

My first reaction was to blame the frats. Sure, thefrats have boasted of their importance to the Colby andWaterville communities, in the form of blood drives anddance marathons, as well as providing a "place" for socialfunctions on campus. Tell me of your need here, frat. Tellme of your im p ortance to us all. But can you also tell methat the audible conduct of these past Saturday nights pro-duces a healthy melody? Can you tell me that anyone atColby has a real choice as to bow to run their own sociallife, when they become unwillingly and inescapably invol-ved in a function that they had decided to sleep through?

I think that my anger at 2 am last Saturday may havebeen.unjustly directed at the fraternities. (How rationalcan one be after being wakened by sounds resembling anair raid?) Not everyone who attends a frat party, obvious-ly, is a member of a frat. A fraternity seems to be a con-venient place for a large group of people to accumulate ;some of the individuals of the group often become control-led by the prevailing group mentality. The attitudes andminds of the group can become irrational, unthinking, andinconsiderate, and; in the most recent event, destructive.It is not a fraternity., but rather, the habit of individualsto lose their sense of identity in a group, then, that snatches

, me from sleep.For my cause, it would be as useless for me to kick

the brick walls of a fraternity house as it would be for meto condemn an entire social system or the human race. In-

. stead of emitting misdirected accusations, I would like tomake a plea to the components of the group mentality-a plea for some courtesy and thought. And quiet.

! Football TopsI Bates 21-12

-Russ Lod

The Colby College football team concluded whatCoach McGee termed "a very satisfying season" Saturdaywith a 21-12 defeat of Bates College.

The game was a fitting conclusion to the Mules' mostsuccessful season since the 7-1 season of 1972. Colby car-ried the mark of a good team by coming up with the bigplays when they, were needed. The defense time and againstopped the Bates offense from mounting a sustained attackwhile the offense determinedly worked for the points itneeded to keep their opponents out of reach.

The Mules won the opening toss, elected to receive,and proceeded to march right down the field to the Bates'ten. Bates, however, was not going to let Golby score thateasily and stiffened , forcing Colby into a fourth and goalat the four yard line. Coach McGee previewed the ag'ressive tactics that the Mules would pursue for the rest ofthe game by passing up the field goal and electing to go forthe score. QB Jim Hayes rolled to his right , waited, thenhit Mark Higgins coming back across the middle for thescore. It was the only pass Mark cau ght all day but it wasa big one and gave Colby a lead it never relinquished.

Colby's second touchdown came in the third quar-ter after Jim Theriault blocked a Bates punt. Following afullback pass from Mike Ormiston to Jim Hayes which wasnullified due to illegal procedure, the Mules legally scoredas Hayes withstood a heavy Bates rush and hit Gerry Teevandown the right sideline with a 26 yard scoring strike andColby increased its lead to 14-0.

From the way the Mules' defense was playing it seemedthat Colby-was assured of a .500 season, but as quick as youcan say 4-4, Bates was back in the ball game. A long puntreturn by Mark Shap iro set up a six yard run by QB SteveOlsen and on the ensuing kickoff , Colby fumbled the ballright back to Bates. Olsen then proceeded to hit Mark Sha-piro with a perfect pass down the right side for a 25 yardscoring play. On both scores, Bates tried for two points butthe Colby defense rose to the occassion and stopped thecrucial conversions; Brad Farrington dove to deflect a pass

on the first attempt and Jim Theriault tackled the ball carrier

on the second. Hence, Colby still led 14-12.Bates spent the rest of the game desperately trying

for another score but the Mules' defense continued to frus-trate them , playing aggressively and forcing turnover. Line-backer Tony Shup in intercepted one pass, Len Saultcr re-covered a fumble and Jeff Bernard scaled Bates' fate withhis interception late in the game. It was this last steal thatled to Colby 's final touchdown , a 33 yar d pass from Hayesto Dennis Lundgrcn. Coach McGee explained his reasonfor risking a pass so late in the ball game. "We had run theball on the first down and I noticed their safety playing upon the line, totally disregarding the possibility of our pass-ing. During the Bates time out , we called for the pass toLundgrcn and as the play developed , I j ust prayed thattheir safety would react as before." Obviously , the playwent as planned and Colby had tlie insurance touchdown itneeded.

The entire Colby defense played a grea t game, reco- ,vering four fumbles (two by Saultcr , one each by Theri aul tand Newman), in tercepting three passes (Shupin , Farring-ton , Bernard ) and gener ally p lay ing aggressivel y, hard-hit-ting throughout. QB Hayes, desp ite his interception prob-lems , made his passes coun t , throwing for three touchdownsHe thereby tied the Colby single game record , which gavehim 12 for the year, thus breaking the Colby season record .

The only unfor tunate aspect of the game was that itwas the final performance of seniors Jim Theriault, JackParker , Tony Shup in , Aubrey Moore , and Jim Hayes, allvital parts of the Colby football team. If Colby hopes to >equal or improve on this year's record next season, a lotwill depend on how effective ly they can rep lace these ath-letes.

last game in a Colby uniform. ..

The IFL Football field was the place to be last Sundayafternoon. About 300 enthusiastic fans saw the 'Choppers'

""' from LCA squeak by the 'Trolls' of TDP 12-7, for the 1975Championship and the early lead in the Bixler Bowl race.Like many games this year, the championship contest wasa defensive one. With about eight minutes left in the firsthalf Rene Martinez intercepted a J ack M cKeown pass at thegoal line which sparked an eighty yard touchdown passito Roger Breene from 'Chopper' QB Tom Whittier. Thestill fired-up TDP squad , led by the great blocking of EdCampia, retaliated with their own seventy yard drive endingwith a leaping catch by Rick Operowski. This catch waseasily the best play of this long IFL season. The good extrapoint conversion gave Tau Delt a 7-6 half-time lead,

The tired 'Chopp ers', hurt by three key injuri es,started quickly in the second half. Bob Kcrouac pickedoff another TDP pass at midfield. Two plays later, Rene

' .Martinez, the Cuban Flash , took a short swing pass anddanced into the end zone for what proved to be the final

- score of the game. The rest of the game was marked byseveral TDP drives which fell just short of the LCA goalline.

It was good to see such a large turnout for the lastfootball game. Many thanks must be given to commis-sioner Tom Whittier and his fine crew of officials. Withouttheir effort the IFL program could not exist.

Football is over now but hockey begins this week.LCA and TDP square off again next Thursday as theychange their cleats for skates. Come down and see some ofthe action.

Clark Barks—Andrew Dcnnison

So what do I think of the Bruins-Rangerstrade? I'll gladly tell you. It is particularly difficultto evaluate any dealings between New York and Bos-ton. Very few fans in either city have any respectfor the other city's team. I would venture to say thata Bruin win over the Rangers, a Red Sox clubbingof Catfish , or a.Celtic victory over those haplessKnicks each provide the greatest satisfaction for theBoston rooter. I assume the.sentiments arc similar forNew Yorkers, alth ough I sometimes wonder whetherthey watch the games or just come to make extraneousnoise. .

So when the Bruins acquire the likes of BradPark, a longtime hated foe , a period of adjustment mustbe in order. There is no doubt about Park 's prowessas a defenseman. He is exactly what the sieve theBruins call their defense needs. He is a good offensiveplayer, but more important , a super-steady puck control-ler. Now the defensive pairings will have a bit morebalance, assuming the Bruins split up Orr and Park.And look at the points on the power play with Orrand Park. That borders on being awesome.

But on that power play the big guy in the middlewill be gone. Just how importan t Phil Esposito was to

the Bruins' offense remains to be seen. 1 would liketo think they may have a m ore balanced attack thoughless potent. If Coach Cherry can find some morepermanent lines than he has, he might have a team ofconsiderably more consistency. Espo was definitelyoverworked in these past years. His colossal scoringfeats must be attributed partially to all his ice time.I think his dominance has overshadowed (and at timesreduced) the potentials of some of their youngerplayers, particularly Gregg Sheppard. I hope heinherits Esposko's center power play spot, althoughthey just give it to R atclle on reputation.

which "brings me to another point. How can webe expected to cheer Jean Ratclle, the former

centerman of the all-time honky line of Hadficld-Ratelle-Gilbert. All three of those skaters neverlooked winded, always kept their hair neat and trim,and glided around the rink with an arrogant disregardfor their opp onents. When the Bruins were perennialcellar-dwellers, this attitude was particularly offensiveto a Boston Garden gallery god. Ratclle won't bebe an Espo; let's hope he can still glide evcr-so-grace-fully in Boston as he did in New York and perhapslend a steadying han d to the disjointed Boston attack

Finally, Carol Vadnais. I was in horror whenI first heard of the trade because I felt they weretrading one of the game's finest young defensemen.Then I found out Vadnais is 31 years old. He has beenone of those up-and-coming types for quite awhile.He has always been aggressive but more offensively-minded than he should be. Perhaps Emilc the Catwill try him at a wing where he just m ight blossom.

In the end , the Bruins got the best end of thedeal. They traded two of the ugliest players on theirteam (with the exception of "let me get off my highslapshot" Kenny Hodge, who should be gone soon)for two of those slick and flashy mod New York •types who will add infinite aesthetic value to creakyBoston Garden. The Bruins haven 't had .such goodlookers since Tommy Williams.

A new featu re: QUIZTIME—Identify these namesfrom the past: Pat Skrable , Matt Zweig, Foxy Flum cre ,Glynn Griffith (and his alma mater), Jack Scholz , SteveSpark es, and Don Gele (or Dick Gcrnert).

Last Friday evening, Colby was lucky, enoughto have Olympic kayaker Steve Ruble give an excellentslide show, and pool clinic, for 25 interested students.The slide show included pictures of competitionover the last four years in such varied places as Austria,Germany and Connecticut. The slides were chosento demonstra te some of the problem s a competitorwould be challenged with on a good kayak course.

The show was followed by a short lecture and dem »onstration in the pool. Four kayaks had been borrowedfor the occasion, and everyone was able to paddlearound and practice bailing-out of an overturnedboat. Some of the more ambitious and advancedkayakers tried eskim o rolling, after Steve made itlook very easy.

Steve has offered to return at the end of January,and February to give 8-10 two hour lessons. If there is stillas mu ch interest , two classes will be set up, an advanced ,and a beginners.

Contrary to last week's ECHO article on Kayakingthere will be a charge for the 8-10 week course, topay for Steve's travelling expenses, and needed equip-ment. We do not anticipate the expenses being any morethan $10 for the lessons. (Hey gang—that 's only oneday's worth of skiing). We will be able to borrow

David J ar den , lecturer and nature explorer ,on one of his Canadian trips , He will speak on Novem-ber 19th at 8:00 PM in Given Auditorium. Sp onsoredby COC-Free.

OUTING CLUBa few kayaks for the lessons , and we are hoping thatinterested students will make an effort to borrowor buy kayaks.

If anyone is interested in the course (and hasn'tsigned up already), or buying used kayaks, pleasecall Susie Seaman, ext. 574.

Anyone who treks down to the gym to glide aroundon the new ice skating rink is in for a pleasant surprise. Afull renovation of the old rink was completed this summer,thanks to an interested group of people composed mainly ofColby alumni that conceived the idea and then raised thefunds to carry through with the project. The previous icearena was oyer twenty years old , and sadly in need of re-pair.

The old piping system was completely sealed off andplastic pipes were laid down and covered with concrete, thus vretaining the cold better. Since conditions are much morefavorable for freezing the ice, the actual ice surface is muchsmoother, and more consistent. High power mercury vaporlights have replaced the old flourescent lighting system, pro-viding twice as much light while actually using less electri-city. The rink is now fenced in with fiberglass boards onthe bottom half and plexiglass on the top. As a finishingtouch, the whole place has been painted bright orange, green,yellow, and blue, so that skating on the new ice in its chee- jry atmosphere is a refreshing way tp start any morning. Ac- 'cording to Buildings and Grounds, free"skating is generallyfrom 8 to 11 or 12 each morning, 1 to 3 Saturday and Sun- ,'.,'day afternoons, and 7 to 9 on Sunday evenings.

Senior Phil Freese coaches the Women's Varsity Hoc-key Team , and he feels that the new nnk is "much morepleasant to practice in. I think it will instill more pride inthe hockey players when they have such a great home rink." OCommenting on prospects for the girls' team this year, Philsays, "we've got a lot of good new people on the team, andthis year, we have more skills, "and he adds that it's "really

strong." According to Phil, last year the team was "thebest women's collegiate team inthe country, " losing onlyto Canada in the Canadian National Championships. This !year, the team hopes to be "the best in North America." '

Ken Mukai , coach of the Men's Varsity Hockey Team, ,says the team is looking forward to competition in the newrink. The new fiberglass siding gives "a truer bounce to thepuck. It's easier to predict w^erp^t' going^tp land." Mr.;;.Mukai feels the riewlignttrigsy'ste^ " 'ers , and especially the goalie, by allowing for much greatervisibility ." He states, "I think we will be an im proved teamthis year , we have m ore skills," but he adds that it's "really !too early to say for sure" how the team will do. Mr. Mukai '")comments that "overall , there's been a definite improve- jment in the quality of players we've been getting here atColby," and he's looking forward to the futu re, saying, "Ithink the new rink will attract more players and will en- jhance our opportunity of getting a m ore high ly skilled !team."

. The Outing Club invites ajl interested personsto lend a hand in the festivities this Saturday when wewill be painting the Outing Club Lodge on GreatPond. Cars will meet at 9:30 a.m. in front of the chapelon Saturday morning (15th), and we will retu rnto Colby in the afternoon. Bring old clothes and abox lunch , no experience necessary. This is beingplanned as a fun time, with refreshments, and a jobwhich will go quickly. We would like to have you join usout at the Lodge: Let us know you are interested bysigning up on the bulletin board outside the Spa.

EPC Prop osalThe important and vital issue of crediting Jan

Plans was raised in an Educational Policy Committeemeeting on November 11. Two proposals, Mr. Archibald'sand Mr. MacArthur's, were discussed and will bevoted on in the next meeting. The subject of Jan Planwas raised in reponse to a letter from President Strider to theEPC.

Mr. Archibald s proposal offers no substantialchange to the Jan Plan as it stands now. He proposesthat Colby: a) give no academic credit for Jan Planwork, but urge (possibly even require) that writtenevaluations accompany the Pass/Fail rating; b) requireonly two Jan Plans for all students including transfers;c) maintain the various p ossibilities for off-campusJan Plans, but require that one Jan Plan be fulfilledon campus, working with the library or laboratories;d) the committee on Jan Plans will establish procedurefor making-up Jan Plans.

Mr. MacArthur proposes that all Jan Plans receivethree credits; that the academic calendar be regardedas eight semesters, and that the basic nature of theJan Plan remain unch anged. This proposal wouldm ake it possible for a student to relieve either firstor second semester's course load , or even graduateone semester early. Regarding the academic calendaras eight semesters means that the Jan Plan would not berequired-with each Jan Plan receiving three credits, atotal of twelve credits. The equivalent of a semester'swork, could be amassed in four years and the JanPlan program would have to be treated as a regularsemester. Leaving the academic calendar at eightsemesters discounts that possibility.

Eliot Fisk l Guitarist-W. Swallow

Sponsore d by Student Association CulturalLife, classical guitarist Eliot Fisk gave a substantialperformance last Saturday night at 8:00 in GivenAuditorium. The crowd that had braved the thunder-storm was made up primaril y of Colby students andyoung townspeop le; there seemed to be an obviouslack of the older townspeop le who frequent Colby'sclassical music events. Yet Eliot Fisk delivered a perfectly strai ghtforward classical guitar recital of piecesrang ing from mid-Renaissance composers to Villa-Lo bos and Robert Beaser .

F isk started the evening with what he called"four of the greatest hits of the Renaissance " and theCutting , Rossetter and Dowland pieces were performedwell in their simplicity, the ornamentation appropnateand accu ratel y played. Following this was an exquisitepiece by the contemporary Swiss composer FrankMartin , Quatre Pieces Breves. Unfortunately Fiskfailed to differentiate between the episodes and themovements , yet the entire work was rhythmic allyvital and produced a mystical mode throug h carefull ychosen unresolve d dissonances.

To demonstrate his supposedly supreme levelof technical skill , Fisk performed .a J .S. Bach lute suite(BWV 1006a), a series of Variations on Mozart 's"O Cara Arm onia" by Fernando Sor and three of thetwelve Villa-Lob os Etudes that were ori ginall y writtenfor Segovia. It seemed as if Fisk was overly concernedin being a virtuoso and had some trouble articulatinghis faster passages which , had they been played at the propeitempo , wouldn 't have been quite as astonishing butperhaps would have given him a chance to work hissense of expression into the music. Also includedin the program was a piece Canti Nocturni by RobertBeaser , a young American composer , and dedicated

to Fisk himself. Ep isodic and chromaticall y rhapsodic ,thi s piece didn 't quite capture the lyricism neededto tie its many motivic threads and rhyt hmic momentstogether. Had Fisk concentrate d on his expressiveskill as it was portrayed in the Marti n pieces, and lesson flashy virtuosity, the entire concert would havebeen most satisf ying.

Charles Simic p"The Inner Man "

Damned Uncan ny-rDavid Dane

Charles Simic once received a letter concerning hispoem "The Inner Man " , from a reader who had solved themystery of the other presence in this poem: "it is yoursoul", the read er wrote. Last Monday night before an audi-ence of about forty people, thi s little ant ecdote prompteda much more interesting remark : "I know nothi ng about

^souls," said Mr. Simic, "but am only reporting the experi -ence ..."

"The Inner Man " was, I thin k , the best read poem ^of the evening. In fact , I think it is one of the three or

four best poems of Simic's third book of poet ry, "Disman -tling the Silence". Its very strengt h, it seems to me, wasillumin ated by the weakness of that read er 's solution. AsMr. Simic pointed out , "I was try ing to get at the feelingof another person looking over my shoulder ", and yet asthe title implies, the other person is somehow par t of thesame man. Or , as he say s in the poem:

We poke the sameUgly mugAt the world.When I scratch ,He scratches too.

The differ ences between the two are both ambiguous ,A dog follows me about.It might be his.

and parad oxical : "If I' m quiet , he 's quieter. " Then the ' - Jopposition (and the sam eness) becomes much more per-plexing in thi s, the only question of the poem :

We cast a single shadow.Whose shadow?

Nothing is solved finall y; the persona makes no attemp tto define the other presence (Simic knows nothing ofsouls), but rather acknowled ges the other 's presence as hesits, "Shuffling the cards of our silence" and confrontshim:

"Thoug h you utterEvery one of my words

, You are a stranger.It is time you spoke. "

"The Inner Man " is a poem which wonderfull y capturesthe paradox of solitude.

The best of Simic's poetry had this quality in an Oextr aordinarily high degree— this shying away from solu-tions, and the confronting of experience in all its comple-xity. And yet they are deceivingly simple poems: onefeels, "I could have felt that " ; think s, "I could havethough t that " ; even says , "I could have said that. '* Stillthey are miraculous things , and damned uncanny.

Charles Simic was born in Yugoslavia, schooled atN.Y.U. , and now heads the writing departm ent at the Uni-versity of New Hampshire. He has published five collec-tions of poems: "What the Gra ss Says" (1967) and "Some-

wher e Among Us A Stone is Taking Notes" (1969) fromKayak Press; "Dism antlin g the Silence" (1971) and "ReturnTo A Place Lit By A Glass Of Milk" (1974) from Braziller;and a long poem , "White " (1972), from New Rivers Press..He has received an Edgar Allan Poe Award, a Guggenheimfellowship, and a Nation al Endowment for the Arts grant. ( &His work has appeared in many periodicals and in severalantholog ies, including "The Young Americ an Poets ," "TheContemporary American Poets ", and "New Voices in Am-erican Poetry".

Alumni Flute' ¦' Recital

-W. Swallow ;

In the first annual Alumni Recital, Peter Schultz,P4 gave a flute and piano concert last Sunday afternoonit 4:00 in Given Auditorium. Unfortunately the crowdns small, unfortunate because the recital was beauti-fy varied and excellently performed. Peter Schultzs now engaged in graduate, studies in the flute at the;»te University of New York at Stony Brook and plans¦o repeat the program he presented Sunday for hisMaster's recital.

The program included J.S. Bach , Mozart, Bartok,Schumann and Copland. A special delight were thewo Mozart Sonatas, K. 13 and 14, which were written)y Mozart whfcn he was only eight years old. PeterJntrolled their lyric simplicity with effortless care,rticulaiing the staccato notes, trills and turns with .decision. The Bartok Suite Paysanne Ho ngroise wasi gorgeously, varied three m ovement suite , the last move-nent being a scries of dances which ranged frora trueRussian Peasant style to mournfully melodic to per-ussive and shrill expositions of similar ideas. Noneif it seemed to faze Peter , though the physical demandsif the Bartok were considerable. The program concludednth Copland's Duo for Flute and Piano which includedn the last m ovem ent a chromatic exposition of one>f Copland's best known themes, the Shaker Hymn ,heme from his Appalachia n Spring.

It was truly impressive to see the post-graduateievelopmcnt of one of our own Colby people. If•eter and his accompanist, Eric Hicks, manage to performhe Master's recital with the same ease, convictionnd musical understanding as they did last SundaySe may see Peter Schultz established as a professionalusician before we know it. Then we will have to

tay to see him.

A crowd of two thousand squeezed and hud dledoutside UMO's gymnasium wai ting impatiently forthe doors to open. Occassionall y a few forms wouldatt empt to scale the outside wall or dash for a mistakenl yopened door. Forty five minute s after the scheduledcurt ain time, the New Riders of the Purple Sageburst for th with their traditional ''Panama Red. "

It was an entire nigh t with the New Riders , and thegym .was ju st short of full capac ity. J ohn Dawson andDavid Nelson , who played rhythm and lead guit arsrespectively, led the ban d throu gh their p rogram consist-ing largely of old favorites and seven songs off theirnew alburn, "Oh What a Mighty Time." From thenew alburn, which they repea tedly plugged (it 's ohColumbia, you know), the 'New Riders played suchcamp favorites as "La Bamba," "Send a Letter ,Maria," and "On Top of Old Smoky." The tidecut , "Mighty Times" was considerabl y less thanimpressive. Their general trend seems to be a fadingof the country element in the high quality countryrock th at brought them to fame, they are stillunmistakabl y an exciting ban d, but somehow lackedpower and the vitality of two years ago.

The ban d was forc ed to fight the poor acousticsof the gymnasium , bu t managed to give a dynamic andstimula ting performance. David Nelson played outstandinglead guitar in opposition to the intricate pedal steelwork of Buddy Cage . Appropriatel y , the firs t of twosets was closed off with a high-powered 15-minuteren dition of "Portland Woman ." They were assistedon vocals by their friend , the exuberan t Susan Collins ,which sur prising ly did not chan ge the overall tone.por the most ardent New Riders fans , the numerousweaknesses were overshadowe d by the spiri t ofPanama Red.

COJYCfft r NOI SE—David Hara s

Besides being well-received by over $500 lis-teners in the au dience , the Jesse Colin Young-Living-ston Tay lor concert October 26 was also a financialsuccess ; "success" however , used in the qualifiedsense of not having lost money and perhaps makinga slight profit. Such is the conclusion which can bedrawn from the figures presented at the Stu-A meetingMonday night by Social Life Chairperson SpencerAitel. Moreover , some of the details of these finances ,particularl y expenses, deserve special attention.Following is an abrid ged version of Spencer 's financialreport , and a .brief anal ysis:

Financial ReportRECEIPTS

PROFIT$15 ,407.80 total receipts

That dry litany of figures , barring typographicalerrors , should be accurat e.'Min or discrepericies , suchas how tickets in $3.50 and $4.50 denominations canyield $.35 and $.45 receipts , could be explained by"natural " counting and changing errors. Howevcr .afew of the expense items deserve special attention.

As can be seen from the figures , the J err yCorbett Band was not paid for by Social Life, butmust have come out of Young 's own pay. <lShirts " referto special shirts which were bought and printe dfor the otherwise unmark ed student security guardsat the concert. The type of "food " which was paidfor is, interestingly enough, specifically stipulated inthe ride r portion of J esse Colin Young 's contract.Amidst standard provisi ons regardi ng sound systems,stage areas , lighting, method of payment and necessaryequipment , includin g a babysitt er and one dozentowels , is a par agraph wh ich asks for "three cases ofHeineke n beer. . .two bottles of Blue Nunn wine;one fifth of Remy Martin or Henne ssy ; hot beverages(coffee, tea with lemon arid honey); cold bever-ages. . .and decent food (preferably hot)":

The second largest expense item was somethingentitled "percen t gross tb J esse Colin Young". Inmany contracts , a performing artist , in additionto receiving his or her flat fee, is guarante ed a percent ageof the total receipts over and above a certai n amount.For Jesse the flat fee was $7500, plus 6096 of anygross receipts over $14,000. As most any one can . seehowever , the $2,168.40 actuall y paid is $1 ,323.72MORE than 60% of $1 ,407.80 (total receipts minus$14,000). What cau sed this rat her substantial discre-pancy ?

According to paragrap h six of the contractrider , gross ticket receipts is figured during theperform an ce on the basis of the number of ticketssold, not by the am ount of money collected. Thenumber of tickets sold is determined by subtr actingthe number of unsol d tickets and ticket stubs on handfrom the number of tickets printed. The percenttotal is calculated from there. This method of account *ing appears to be the only safe and legal way for theartis t and is the method generally used when figuringpercenta ge take .

The $1323 difference represents about 300tickets not accounted for by the receipts. Spencerexplain* that some of these tickets can be accountedfor by free and complimentary tickets, somewhatover 1 % of the total tickets , many of which weredistributed as promoti onal gimmicks (rad io stations )"the first caller to name this song correctly will win twofree tickets to... I "). Many of the tickets , however,just went uncollected due to some of the problems ,in collecting unsold tickets , especially since the concert

Some people even study in the Quad. (Photo by Pe ter Secor.)

was on a. Sunday when many businesses arc . closed. Anotherproblem was the two differe nt prices on the sameticket which makes it very difficult to accu ratel yfigure the actual receipts on the basis of unsoldtickets.

These explanations actually boil down to "in-experience , not in ticket sales or in putting on a con-cert but in figuring on a percentag e basis," explainsSpencer ; "this is the first real sellout in recent years ,so we never had to deal with 'ovcr-and -above' a largeamount before." This concert thus became a "learningexperience ,^though it vnsn 't meuit io be one."Spencer is therefore planning some changes for the • 'next big concert. For on* thing, two ^set5 of tickets-will beprinted ^ each with only one price on them. 'Also,he plans for a little tighter bookkeep ing, some ticket-collecting and selling changes and , hopefully, figuringin the losses to profits that free and complimentarytickets will have if percentage is used or else keepingan accura te and acceptable accoun t (possibly throug hspecial stubs ) of the number of free tickets.

ff ******^****************— Aian MacEwanMany people like to live in the Quad. The Quad

is a nice place to live. It faces the back of the library.It also faces Johnson Pond. The part of the Quad „that faces Johnson Pon d has a very nice view. Manystudents 'can watch the sun set from their windowsif it is a nice day. Sunsets from the Qu ad are verypretty. ¦ ¦ - . .

Many students like the rooms in the Quad.They are very nice. They are different from otherrooms here. Most of the rooms are two-room doubles .Some are singles. Others are tri ples. There are veryfew two-room doubles in any other dorms. But theQuad has many. This is why so many students like to livehere. Before , mostly upperclassmen could. live here.That was when we had the old room draw. Now,everyone can live in the Quad. Now we have a new roomdraw. There arc 65 senior s in the Quad. There are58 juniors in the Quad. There are 54 sophomores and70 freshmen in the Quad.

There are six smaller dor ms in the two main . ...dorms of the Quad. Three are for girls: Thr ee are fox boys.The boys and the girls are separa ted. The three smallerdorms in the girls' part are called Small , Champ lin,and Butler. The.three smaller dorms in the boys'¦ ¦ .• . . :part are called Robins , Chap lin (Latin Genus: PiLamb ), and Pepper. Each dorm is connected to thenext one by a bathroom. These bathrooms are nice. -Mostly they are clean. Sometimes they are not. Nobathroom is always clean , not even in the Quad.

The halls in the Quad are nice. They are nottoo long. They are not too short. Mostly they arestraight . So me are crooked. The halls have carpet-ing. It is almost always clean. Sometimes it getssticky on weekends. The carpe t helps to make thehalls very quiet.

The rooms in the Quad arc very nice. They,top, are clean. Also they are quiet . most of the time.TKcre (arq -aIly sorts of 4i^eren itlE'66m^n^%e''C^'d: All arenice. Many of the walls ihavtf D(*eVr^ce^ti npainted. 'f he onesthat nave not are still clean: Kenneth Fox lives iria room in the Quad. He said, "the Quad is usuallyvery good. Sometimes it is bad , but mostly it is good. Ilike to watch The Walton 's' on our new T.V."

The location of the Quad is very nice. It ,is inthe middle of campus. It is near the classrooms .It is near the library. It is near the science building.It is near the mailbox. There is no place to par ka car at the Quad. That is okay, thou gh.

Part of the Quad is the green. Many people crossthe green when they go to the Quad. Many gamesare played on the green by students that live in theQuad. Some of the games are : softball , football , frisbee,croquet , and marbles. I especially like to p lay croquet. 'It is fun. ' . 7-

In all , the Quad is a very nice place. It wouldbe a fun place to spend your summer vacation. Then may beyou could write a story about the Quad when you comeback to school in the fall.

BONNIE RAITT SIGNEDSpeaking, or rather wnting, ot "next big con-

certs ," Bonnie Raitt will be perform ing here onThursday, December 4. There had been some question 'as to whether Bonnie Raitt or Bruce Springsteen wouldbe brought to Colby , but the objective financialfacts ,' as well as the hassles involved in a Sprinsteen concert ,pointed to Bonnie. Springsteen would have cost$18,000 to produce , Bonnie costs $8000-$8500,and the maximum draw for each is the same, witha potential gross of $20,000. Thus if Bonnie Raittis successful , there will be a good chance for moreconcerts , since the profits are returned to the SocialLife account. The success of a Bruce Springsteenconcert , on the other hand , was very doubtful and"at this point in time " according to Spencer , "notworth the risk ."

Colby almost had Bob Dylan but he would have hadto come during vacation. Plans for other fu ture con-certs are still being worked on. One possibility beingexplored is a jazz program or two with Argon and theGary Burton Quartet , both of which have perform edat Colby before , and maybe Dizzy Gillespie. Studentswith ideas should contact Social Life Chair personSpencer Aitel .
