rA Little Less Apathy) Is Needed At GSC Dear Ed itor:

Many of us in o ur college career have at one time or another, been oon· fronted with the policy of our present "cuts" system. We've griped abou t it , we've cussed it, we've damned it, but we have no t do ne any thing about it.

It seems that since we students weren' t concerned enough abou t our cu t system to rcq uest some new policy, someone else decided to do something aboUt it. The GSC advisory Board on Jan. 11 said that it was giving some thought to required class attend ance. Then o n Feb. 9 , Preside nt D. Banks Wilburn appointed an ad hoc committee o n class au end ancc to study the pre­sent policy and to make recommendations for changes.

The committee o rganized on Feb. 18. S ince that time, the committee has held three meetings, all of which have been open to s tude nts a nd facu lty. Announcements have been made in advance in bo th the Mercury and the Faculty BuUe tin to encourage interested people to submit their ideas either in writing or in person orally befo re the oommittee. To date, no student, no faculty member nor any other person has demonstrated his interest in the changing o f one o f the most controversial policies on campus. Three students, however, have shown slight interest since they each sa t in on one session of the oommittec. But whe re arc the other 1300-plus students'? Dcn' t they want to have a workable policy to replace the current one'? The commiuee cer­tainly has had no ind ica t ion of interest from the students or faculty.

Apathy might be a good attitude to have in certain cases, but I do not feel that thiS is the time for GSC students to fee l apathetic. It takes only a minute o r two to write a few words of suggestions o n a slip o f paper. I t takes only second s to drop the paper into the mail deposit box in the ad ministra tion building. Sure ly this much t ime is not inoonvenient for even the busiest stu­dent. But if you reaUy don't want to be apathetic, why don' t you drop in on the next session of the ad hoc committee? It meets to morrow morning at 9 :30a.m. in 307-A. A little less apathy among CSC st uden ts can result in a lit tle Jess d am ning, cursing, and griping about the present cut system.

'Swimming Pool Is Safe' Ac:c:ording To Professor Dear Editor:

In reply to Editorial by Fred Boothe on Wednesday. March 10, 1971 .

It would appear, although it is not very clear from the writing, that Mr. Boothe thinks that the CSC swimming pool is unsafe and dangerous.

It is apparent that Mr. Boothe docs not k now what he is writing about. I have had occasion to examine the pool and the water which it con tains and I have o bserved none of the conditions mentio ned.

Last year there were some pro blems but they have been corrected. A new filtration unit was installed along with a new chlorina t ion unit. The equip· ment has functioned very well and it is competently operated by the personnel assigned to its operation. The water has been clean every time I have ob­served it. Chemical analysis of the water shows that the pl-1 is maintained at a satisfactory level of about 7.5 to 8.0 and that the chlorine conte nt is between l and 3 ppm. These arc the normal values for swimming pools and have no adverse effects upon the ll·wimmer.

The most serio us opera tio nJI fa ult which I have observed is the lack of bathing before entering the pool. A thorough body cleansing WIT H SOAP is highly desirab le. Secondly, the wearing of bathing caps would help to pre­vent tro uble with hair and metal hair pins.

And , along the general lines o f pollu t ion and ecology, it is pertinen t to mention two other camp us situations which are within the con tro l of the stu· d ents: (I) General campus cleanliness. T he quantity of paper, cans, bo ttles, e tc., discarded on the campus and within the buildings is a disgrace and in­excusable. (2) The condition of the space adjoining the snack bar in the Pio­neer Center. Again we have a comple tely p reventable problem of discarded paper. cups, cigarettes, chewins gum, e tc.

It i.; easy to complain and say tha t "somebody (the administ ration?) ought to do sorr.ething about it ." The real ' answer though is through the per­sonal concern of each student

Congress Criticized

It has been called to my attent ion on several occasions that the Student Con,uess on our fair campus has failed to p rove itself as being effective in matters other than serving the President of the CoUege. D. Banks Wilburn.

This assumption, I believe, is somewhat hasty and unfounded. ~I any falSI.· conCeptions have arisen and may be attributed to the general lack of !: ·.den i concern abou t the matter upon which the Student Congress acts until final legislation has taken p lace.

Case in point: I have been in attendance at all of the Student Congress meetings this scholastic year except for three. O n the nights that I have attend· ed these meetings I have failed to no tice any great attendance by members of the s tudent body. In fact. one oould count the total number of attending students upon his own two hands.

Quest ion: How is it possible for a stude nt "representative" to know that h iS constituents want him to vote to pass or I ail an issue when no one dis­cussed such matters with him?

My point IS simply this: The student body must make it known which issues it favors and wh ich o nes it opposes so the representatives may do their JOb properly. If such a harmomous situation is not present , then the repre­sentative is forced to speculate how he thinks the issue would effect the studen t body and especially his constituents and then vote accordingly.

So before you make any unjuSt or rash criticisms concernmg the effective­nessof the Student Congress, why not attend the weekly meetings on Thurs­day nights at 8 :00 p.m. in Pioneer Center and then consult your represent· alive upon the issues. You owe it to yourself as well your representa tive!

January Graduate Finds Job Opportunities Limited Dear Ed itor,

I am not around campus anymore but I wanted to write this letter. I gradu­ated several weeks ago. I was an art maJor. Thro ugho ut the co llege semesters and the summers I atte nded GSC I took the regular o il painting, watercolo r painting, arts and c~~ts, ceramics, art histor}'. lelt('ring, con temporary colo r, design, and o ther art courses required to graduate. I had Mr. James Rogers, to.1r. Jerry Mo rrio;, a nd Mr. Charles Sco u and tho ught the ir method s great. to say the least . I tho ught I learned a lo t. If you talk to all the art majors at GSC you would find they probab ly like all differe nt phao;cs of art. I particularly loved the graphic arts.

My studen t teaching was some thmg else! I '' as m the art program fro m grades one thro ugh twelve, therefo re . I d id my studen t teaching on two dtffere nt levels and under two d ifferent supervising teachers. In m y op mio n there is absolu tely no th ing compared to the " actual s1tuat1o n" o f havir.g the o ppor­tunity of learning from someo ne else o lder and wiser who has established his methods and set h1s O\\ n mood in the classroom. I was fo rtu nate e no ugh to get two wond erful supervisors who Jet me teach any phase of art I chose. Fro m the phases o f art I chose and taught I \\ aS he lped and crit icized in such a man­ner that I d eveloped conf idence and e:1se withm the classroom. Others tha t I know were to ld exactly what , how. and when to teach their subject matter. I realize the art program ma)' be a b1t d ifferent f rom the actual lecture class room.

'Proposal' Rated Delight, Success

" A Muriage Proposal," d irected by Lonnie Brewster, was shown in the auditorium 1arch I 0 through 13. The plot and the characters were delightfu l, and the perfo rmers did an extremely good job o f making the play a success.

Benny Linn was very goo d in the ro le o f S tepan Stepanovich . Benny put a lo t of feeling into his characterization, and the aud· ience could see that at times he al­most bcHeved he was S tepan Stepan­ovich .

Bo b Dotson is to be commended for his excellent po rtrayal of Ivan VasiUy1tch . One could sec lhat his part was a difficult one. and he did extremely well in playing it. It took co urage to fall down the stairs as he did , and to sit there pre­tending to be unconscious, know­ing that any second a p itcher of water would be poured over his head

Marty Nicho ls: did very well in her role. She p layed the part Nat· alia Stc panovich. Marty's voice was sometimes irritat ing, but this was p robably due to the high degree o f e motion she had to show, and also to the fact that she had to talk loudly to be heard thro ughou: the auditorium. Aside from tha t , she gave a very go•'<~ performance. She was especially touching in the part where she was lyiJ18 o n the couch crying, callmg for Stepan to bring Ivan back .

The play was o ne o f those nerve· wracking o nes that made o ne want to JUmp up on stage and say, "Stop it , you foo ls!" and show the cha.r· acters how silly they arc. Indeed , tf it had not been for the re lief that the oomedy afforded. the ent ire audience would have left fee lrng very frust rated and t ro ubled.

Those who dkl no t see " A Mani:lge Proposal" missed a de­lightful treat, fo r 1hose who saw it e njoyed it. It was funny, it was frustra ting, but if had it.s messages and it presented those messages \ 'CT) w cU. If one learned nothmg else from watch ing the play, one learned that there is humor in the petty things that lover• le t get m the wa) of love.

Dou'!Z On The Comer By Mike Smith

The Figh t ... As I Saw I t .

"The d:rncing master, quick on h1s

fee t- he'll blmd htm with foo twork." Such was my feeLing befo re THC

FIGHT. Then , in the ring, Muhammad

Ah was backed up against the ro pes,

fo rced into a corner by the heavy­weight champion, Joe Frazier, and

the pre tender to the throne was

destined for d efeat. The question is now on everyone's

mind, " Why didn ' t Ali dance and

shu fOI! around as he d1d m the days of

Cassius Clay?" All's trainer, A ngelo

Dundee coun tered with, " Frazie r

might have had someth mg to do wtth

that. I d o n' t know. My man admits he was foo lish to play around, to lay

o n the ropes, to chnch so much. I t

k illed h1m m the sconng. He leamed .tn expensive lesson."

Du ndee added that lhe defeat

p ro ved somethtng, " Muhammed Ah

is human , but he IS the greatest draw,

t.he finest pro mo ter and the most

wonderful "1-:ypo" the box ing game

has ever known." The Ali " hypo'"

drew a crowd o f 20,452 fro m every

walk of life to Madison Square Gar­

den. Fd Sullivan and Frank S inatra

were there. The aslronauts were o n the fourth row. The ew York Knicks

were sca ttered throughou t the crowd

while U1e New Yo rk Rangers were

seated together. Indeed , Hubert

Humphrey went aJmost unno tJced m

10 the crowd.

When Ali appeared from the dres­

sing room the crowd cheered lushly

Here he was. U•e man that caused two

men to be arrcsted .>u tside lhe ga~den. People were selling S20 ttckets for

SJOO. The scalpers. w.hen caught by

lhe police were a.rcrsted. And All \liaS

responstble for this, too.

The televiSIOn and movie camera.s

were o n stands ready for the post· fl.g.h t mteO"iev.s_ And Ah ....,as respon·

sible for th1s. too

Then 11 was tune for Fraz.1er's nng

entrance and he "'as both cheered and

b<>ot-d. Aod Ah "as responsible for

thas. too. Then the shuffling feet of

wild. li e repeated the perfo rma nce

and agam cheers cascaded d o v. n. It

was the hypo at work. T he crowd

was gettmg what they pa1d fo r, a b1g

theatncal prod uctiOn. Ali caught a couple o f JOitmg left

hooks from f r3ZICJ, bu t leaned away

and shook h1s head to the crow.d as much as to say, ''They d o n' t hu rt."

He did lhts more than once, respond­

mg to the crowds roar when he -was

caught w1th a hard punch. Then he was suddenly a dif ferent

man, backmg up, fallmg m to chnches

and tryrng to get lhe better of I raz1er

in the m-fightmg. The crush mg b low

came in the 15 th rou nd and Ah"s

world came tum bling down to the left hook that was fe lt round the

world.

The crowd roared .

And Ah was responsible for that,

too.
