Albany is in a state of transit ion A hot knife has been thrust into its cancerous guts and is in the process of removing what has been festering there for many years Where there once were s lums there will soon be m6dern office buildings lots once crowded with tiny ba r s and soda shops now serve a s parking lots
One must remember h o w e v e r that so-called s l u m s are not always all that the t e rm implies Many buildings in slum a reas do not fit the usual image of the slum Many are clean and reasonably well-kept their only fault that of being old and consequently s tart ing to slump and fall The location is often the only reason for the demolition of a building
We must also remember that rundown apartment buildings are more than slums they are the homes of many people and no matter how rundown a place may be it is the home of some people and they have formed a certain emotional attachment to it Conshysideration of this fact may give some insight into the objections of many people to urban renewal
South Mall A total of 85 ac res in downtown Albany is now
undergoing urban renewal to make room for many new state government buildings known as the South Mill project This project serves a dual purpose it not only c lears out many buildings that should have been torn down years ago but it also provides space for many much-needed buildings to house various departments of the state government
Between the time of evacuation and construction of the new buildings however the state of the Mall area is unique The vacated buildings stand like a childs forgotten toys they seem to realize their uselessness and sag under the weight of this r ea l shyization The doors are boarded up the windows are broken and a heavy dust sett les over everything
Now they have new inhabitants Pigeons constantly fly in and out through the jagged window-frames ra ts scurry through the broken glass in the ce l la r s of a thousand lifeless dwellings The state of much of the South Mall area is now one of l i felessness a kind of death is in the air
Never-Ending Cycle
This is the essence of the uniqueness of the t ranshysition The people have moved to other s imilar buildings in other sections of the city but the old apartments stand as mute reminders of their former inhabitants The old corner s tores the hole- in-a-wall ba r s and the apartment buildings are the receptacles of countle-ss memories for the former inhabitants
Within the next few years all these buildings will be gone the memories meaningless the cancer destroyed the city purged of its oldest elements mdash the elements most repugnant to the middle-class mores which rule our society Clean new modern offices will have replaced the slums the oldest section will now be the newest
It will be then when the cycle is complete that it can begin again and what is the newest now will eventually become once more the cancer that will have to be removed

Chartering Service Inefficient The events of last Wednesday and Sunday proved the
inefficiency of Senate as a medium for char tered bus service A greater share of the blame however should r e s t on the Greyhound Bus Lines
Their complete lack of co-ordination was demonshystra ted on Wednesday afternoon when at least one bus was re-routed immediately before departure and again on Sunday evening when several buses were hours late o r didnt show up at all
Many individuals felt confident that by signing up on a Senate bus the success of the venture would be ensured The general faith of those students Inshyvolved was soon shattered It became more than c lear by the end of Thanksgiving vacation that the Greyhound Bus Lines was a poor business risk
We would suggest an investigation of the entire mat ter including the issue of refunds to those stushydents whose buses were re- routed or whose buses didnt appear at all We thank Senate for undertaking the huge charter ing plan to begin with but think it unfortunate that so many mishaps should have occurred
In the future we would suggest that another bus line be contracted for vacation char ter ing service

John F 1917-1963 He was a big athletic man and when
he walked on the speaker s platform even in his younger days he immediately attracted attention
His smile was quick and warm his personality overwhelming His wit was sharp and his commandof facts immense
Most of his fellow countrymen never met or even saw him personally Yet through our communications media we all got to know this man
We came to identify ourselves with him He projected an image we all admired mdash an image we can never forget He was a man worth emulating
A Little Faith Helps It is a sad commentary on the student
bodys common sense when they feel that the head of the University has less pashytriotic spirit than themselves
The rumors that were circulated among the students by several people about our school remaining in session during the National Day of Mourning proved to be completely untrue
Before waiting to get the facts several people took it upon themselves to inform the student body of the ut ter disrespect of the administration
We think that the intelligence of the

suppression Windmills anyone We wonder if the editors of suppression
have lost sight of reality altogether in the past few months If not we suggest that they make some re-evaluation of their r e shycent editorials and make a big effort to come down to earth with the rest of us morta ls
suppression seems to feel that the things that interest students at State these days aren t really very important Issues conshycerning Greeks (who happen to comprise 40j of the student body) and ar t ic les on campus morality are seen as only windmill problems and not really worthy of attention
Unfortunately suppression has not conshydescended to tell us what really is imporshytant to the members of the University It would be nice if they ever got around to
doing this But until that momentous day
the student body will be kept in i and trust that the edi tors of sup speak true words of wisdom whim fer to the students as possessm lack of serious thinking
We are as bewildered by suppiv is everyone else We suppose v follow the lead of our intellcclui lgt in writing anrl attempt to write that will be really important
Perhaps if we star ted a ten w-i exploring the Nature of Truth nr t i d e s like Hur ray The Devil Bad we could do something i gt has broad appeal

Enrollment Readies Ail-Time High The academic year of 19G3-G4
shows a record enrol lment for State Universi ty at Albany and the enshyt i r e State University of New York T h e r e a re 3188 full-t ime students enrol led at Albany and 70j]0 in the State University
The above figures a r e a l l - t ime highs The introduction of yea r -round ca lendars at I larpur College the Agricul tural and Technical Inshyst i tute at Farmingda le and the Colshylege at New Palt accounts for par t of this record enro l lment
The full-time enrol lment r e p r e shysen ts a 125 increase over last yea r T h e r e a re also 46669 s tushydents in par t t ime degree credi t study and 8725 taking non-degree -credit cour ses The re a r e almost 132UOU students now attending c l a s shys e s throughout the State University
The year- round p r o g r a m s were introduced as a method of de t e rmin shying the possibil i ty of increasing full-lime enrollment through inshyc reased utilization of exist ing facilishyt i es
For maximum s u c c e s s the p r o shygram depends upon equal entering c l a s s e s The University does not expeel immediate accomplishment ol this goal but foresees a conshytinuing inc rease in reg is t ra t ion as the opportunit ies presented b ca l shy
endar operation b e c o m e bet ter known
Under the new sys t ems at Harpur and Farmingdale students attend c l a s s e s for two consecutive s e m e s shyt e r s and take the third off New Paltz students attend for th ree conshysecutive q u a r t e r s and take the fourth off
Students stand to benefit by these pilot p r o g r a m s for they may a c shyce le ra te their studies by yea r - round attendance and graduate e a r l i e r
There a re four new community colleges now In operation whose enrol lments have contributed to the total These a r e Je f fe rson Niagara Sullivan and Ulster County Comshymunity Colleges
As of September twenty-five of the twenty-eight authorized comshymunity colleges were in operation One sponsored by the Boards of Supervisors of Fulton and Montgomshyery Counties and two by the New York City Board of Higher Education should be open in September 1964
Project ions for future enrollment indicate that Hie three units opera t shying on year- round schedules will accept approximately 375 additional freshmen that could not have been accommodated under the two-semshyes t e r p rogram
As a result of the increased enrol lment the eventual full-time total for the year is expected to be ra ised to 77000

It is an accepted fact that educational standards are not all they could be in Albany There are two public high schools mdash Albany High and Philip Schuyshyler Albany High as you all know is located between Western Washington and Lake Avenues Philip Schuyler is at the corner of Trinity Place and Westerlo Street south of Madison Avenue in the South End
Due to the economic geography of Albany the stushydents who attend Schuyler are from generally lower socio-economic backgrounds and for this reason the standards are generally lower there
H o p e l e s s n e s s P r e v a i l s
The generally accepted theory of schooling is that a child attends until he hits a block like third year English or financial difficulties at home then quits to go to work
A feeling of hopelessness towards ever improving ones economic status prevails among almost all but it is even more deeply imbedded among Negroes due to existing discriminatory hiring pract ices among employers
Coupled with this hopelessness is the fact that the idea of college is completely outside of their frame of reference It is never an idea that is rejected it is never thought of While this situation seems almost hopeless something is being done something that can involve students here at State
At the beginning of last summer a tutorial project was started in Albany by two members of the Northern Student Movement It is s imilar to dozens of other projects in other cities across the northeast section of this country With the help of the Trinity Institute rooms were obtained in churches for teaching and college students started tutoring students from the South End on an individual bas is
If any of you are interested in helping one child get through high school and perhaps go to college you are invited to devote an hour and a half a week to this project To join or obtain further details see P r o shyfessor Hayes of the Speech Department in Richardson 288
Call this project what you will mdash foolish useless for do-gooders mdash anything you like the fact remains that it is working helping many students finish high school and even go to college who never would have
The only hitch is this mdash without volunteers from this school it will ultimately collapse Are you willing to help

Something new and different is coming to the S t a t e University Theatre Department Up to this time the student body has regarded the Theatre as the private property of those having previous experience or those solely involved in speech and dramatics
The purpose here is to give a peek at what goes on behind the scenes and on the stage and invite any and all who are interested to join us
Much Work Many hours of work go into one
University production But with the
work comes a feeling of pride and accomplishment in the knowledge that the job no matter how small was vitally important in creating the whole dramatic effect
Lighting props set construction and design costumes and makeup are just a few of the areas involved in putting together one good show Half the fun is watching these sepshyarate departments finally come toshygether the week of dress rehearsal when the director walks around with the kind of look on his face that makes you wonder if tiiis proshyduction will ever make it mdash and it does

Roz Ferrara one of the cast of USA is out f i t ted by Dennis Tu t t le costume head
Of course there isnt anything too romantic about all the technical work involved Its hard to get exshycited about hanging a light sweeping the stage painting a flat or hemming a skirt but there is definitely someshything exciting in knowing that all these jobs are going to make a production an audience will truly appreciate
Opening Night That story about opening night is
really true The smell of make-up the heat from the lights the crew members running around frantically and the cast people who always seem to get in the way give you a kind of thrill yuu just cant get anyplace else
Its electric and its infectious mdash and frustration that accompanies rehearsals seem to disappear when that curtain finally opens
When a production is over the lights are turned down Hie stage is bare and there are onlj a few props left in the wings perhaps an old telephone a cane or a crumpled hat Ihat an old lady wore in the second yet
Theres nothing left but an echo Uui the people who walked across the stage took home with them a pocket full of memories the laughs when the) couldnt find the right light switch the tears when a scene just wouldnt come and the unbelievshyably warm feeling when the audience rings with applause a world of make-believe with verj real reshywards

Acquaints Students With Production by Dr James M L e o n a r d
USA the play by Paul Shy re and John Dos Passos chronicles that exciting period of American history from 1900 to 1930 That history is conveyed for the most part by a staccato recitation of newspaper headlines from the period The headline scenes are informative but also surprising and amusing and a re placed in striking relationships to the other scenes of the play
Piano music of the period is used to bridge the historical material and the segments of a more personal nature as well as to provide the background for the headlines In addition to an impersonal recitation of headlines to give the flavor of events of the period there are passages in the play which will
describe some of the most colorful pe r shysonalit ies of the t ime In brief segments the audience meets Rudolph Valentino a n d Isadora Duncan political figures Emma Goldman and Eugene Debs and the well-known mechanics Henry Ford and Orville and Wilbur Wright
The epic level of presentation described some al ternates with a personal level which concerns itself throughout the play with the life of J Ward Moo rehouse whose experiences embody Dos Passos r ecu r r ing theme of the corruption of the individual by commercial ism

Moo rehouse s life unfolds against the background of the turbulent and excessive e ra which stretched from theturn-of- the-century to the Great Depression when individuals and the nation were being swept along in a flurry of false values
The epic and the personal combine to produce an informative sa t i r ic ind nosshytalgic presentation The predominant tone of the play is one of irony The audience is made aware of the superficiality of most of the personal and national commitshyments shown in the play
There is also affection in the t reatshyment and one gets the feeding that the great enthusiasms of the era when they do not produce worthy results often leave their own gratuitous t ra i ls of glory
The production then will embrace tlie personal and the epic the sat ir ic and the nostalgic the bite and the warmth of the script The production should show too that at times beneath the chrome exter ior of a bland national enthusiasm lay hints of horror
C o m b i n a t i o n of Techn iques
All this is to be accomplished by enactshyment headlines narra t ions music scenic projections and dance Such a combinashytion of techniques is reminiscent of the Federal Thea t re s Living Newspaper and s imi lar to televisions That Was The Week That Was
These external techniques and the inner atti tudes then combine to form the p ro shyduction in which the auditory visual

and temporal elements which make up theatre have been organized into an exshypressive shape
During rehearsals t h i s expressive shape must be allowed to evolve from the creative freedom of those involved in production
The director however must shape the play even as he encourages freedom From this process emerges a style which hopefully is not a directorial imposition or the imposition of a part icular h is shytorical period or mode of staging or even the imposition of a part icular playshywright but the unique style of the play

The time has come to think of Christmas shopping for the Yuletide will be upon us quicker than you can say Jack Robinshyson (Have you ever wondered incidentally ubout the origin of this interesting phrase Quicker than you can say Jack Robinson Well sir the original saying was FrenchmdashPlus
trite que de dire Jacques Robespierre Jack Robinson is as everyshyone knows an Anglicization of Jacques Robespierre who was
as everyone knows the famous figure from the French Revolushy

Dunton Mura t Caligula and Al Capone
(The reason people started saying Quicker than you can
say Jacques Robespierre mdashor Jack Robinson as he is called in
English-speaking countries like England the US and Cleveshy
landmdashis quite an interesting little story It seems that Robesshy
pierres wife Georges Sand got word of the plot to murder
her husband in his bath All she had to do to save his life was
call his name and warn him Rut alas quicker than she could
say Jacques Robespierre she received a telegram from her old
friend Frederic Chopin who was down in Majorca setting lyrics
3lhk hi to Jo wtcjll tit time to his immortal Warsaw Concerto Chopin said he needed
Cleorges Sands help desperately because he could not fintl a
rhyme for Warsaw Naturally Georges could not refuse
such an urgent request
(Well sir off to Majorca went Georges but before she left
she told her little daughter Walter that some bad men were
coming to n urtler Daddy in his bath She instructed Walter
to shout Robespierres name the moment the bad men arrived
Rut Walter alas had been sea-bathing that morning on the
Riviera and she had come home with a big bug of salt water
taffy and when the bad men arrived to murder Robespierre
Walter alas was chewing a wad of taffy and could not get her
mouth unstuck in time to shout a warning Robespierre alas
was murdered quicker than you could say Jacques Robespierre
mdashor Jack Robinson as be is called in English-speaking countries
(There is I am pleased to report one small nob of cheer
in this grisly tale When Georges Sand got to Majorca she did
succeed in helping Chopin find a rhyme for Warsaw as everyshy
one knows who has heard those haunting lyrics
In the fair town nf Warsaw

Fraternities and Sororities The Vital Hub of Stales

The five fraterni t ies which now exist a re the largest number in Sta te s history however the eight so ro r i t i e s represent only slightly more than half of the fifteen which in the ear ly 1930s offered group membersh ip to Albanys female popshyulation
Delta Omega was the first so r shyority being formed in 1890 It r e shymained the sole sorori ty until 1896 when it was then joined by Eta Phi

The soror i ty situation remained unchanged until 1913 when Gamma Kappa Phi appealed That year also marked the establ ishment of the first f ra terni ty Sigma Nu Kappa
In 1916 the Gamma Chapter of Kappa Delta Hho a national f ra te r shynity was brought to State (it was la ter to drop i ts national affiliations and become Alpha Pi Alpha) A third fraterni ty Kappa Nu was founded in 1918

Soror i t i es rapidly increased in number and by 1932 fifteen of lliein were actively functioning
f r a t e r n i t i e s did not multiply in number so swiftly Kappa Beta was organized in 1937 The formation of the group was encouraged by a need for more housing for men and its first s taled purpose was to found a group house for men SLS was also organized in 1937

Johnson Senate Record Indicates Liberal Civil Rights Outlook
by Joseph W Golu
The assass inat ion of President Kennedy leaves everyone at a loss for words with a feeling of utter he lp lessness
The w o r l d s greates t surgeon could do nothing ihe best speaker could not find words to express the feelings of an individual the nation or himself t h e world s s t ronges t man could do nothing to lend even an ounce of strength to the Pres ident as he lay dying
The impossibili ty of the task of express ing o n e s feelings in a limited space forbids my attempt to say that which I still feel The only profitable course is to face the present and future and conshys ider Lvndon Baines Johnson
Civil Rights Record
Those who wonder about civil r ights should remember that it was Johnson who was the leader of the Senate when all modern civil rights legislation was passed
It was Johnson who put the Senshyate on a 24-hour a day schedule thus defeating the Southern filishybuster Johnson the so-cal led conshyserva t ive was the man who pushed through the 1959 and 19(30 Senates the legislation which Ike vetoed as being too radical
I do not expect Johnson to present Congress with the type of legisshylation which Kennedy presented and which bogged Congress down to its present do little pace
Kennedys Far Reaching Programs I do not expect Johnson to come
up with the extremely far- reaching plans that Kennedy had the corps for peace the complete revision of our tax s t ruc tu re the complete revision of our tarill policy a ra ther complete program for South American and South-eastern Asian development
Kennedy in his two years and ten months presented (according to Richard Russe l I )more f a r - r each shying legislation than even FDR in the Hundred Days Kennedys p r o shyg rams were not hastily prepared or presented to a wildly enthusiastic Congress
Kennedys approach was almost entirely intellectual When dealing even with defense he calmlv quoted s ta t i s t ics ol we a re 600c more
capable to fight guer i l las etc
Approach Will Differ Johnsons approach will combine
the intel lectualism of Kennedy with a more ear thy more folksy more urbane style
He will not descent to the level of telling the American people what they want but I expect nation-wide television a d d r e s s e s on his pr ior i ty legislation
I also expect Johnson to deal with Congressional leaders in a manner more firm than that of Kennedy I feel su re that the Senshyate will be m o v i n g faster and will probably replace Mansfield as leader
In the House the leadership is on its last legs McCormack has his last chance right now If he does not make good he will p robshyably vield to someone new The current House underlings stand little chance of replacing McCormack
No Problem In general I feel that the people
who worry about Johnson s conser shyvatism are creat ing their own probshylem Johnson s tar ted in the House of Representat ives as a New Deal darl ing This hardly reflects conshyse rva t i sm
His opponents in pr imary e lecshytions in Texas have always painted Johnson as an ex t reme liberal
My only fear is that Johnsons att i tudes a re not urban We have gone back to a rura l President after our first truly urban P r e s i shydent in many yea r s
I feel that the Johnson record on civil r ights and in getting civil r ights legislation through the Senshyate is a irue indication of the man s att i tudes and potential

The contest slated for tomorrow night was to have proved a point made in this column a few weeks ago Unfortunately the Fates have fouled things up again New Pal tz s s tar center has withdrawn from school this semester It seems that dispite valiant attempts to keep this not too academically inclined lad in school he has backed out for a semes te r The odds now favor Albany

CAGERS TO HOST NEW PALTZ TEAM NOTCHES WIN IN OPENER
The New Paltz Hawks invade the Washington Ave Armory tomorrow night to do battle with the Peds New Paltz has shown great improvement in recent years and is expected to be strong Last year the Hawks received outstanding play from Bob Dilman and Fred Sadler Dilman has graduated but Sadler was only a freshman Big Fred was the teams leading score r and rebounder Reports indicate that New Platz has picked up several t ransfers but they a re unconfirmed
Albany will be going with two veteran s t a r t e r s Dick Crosset t and Joe Loudis The shifty Crosset t gave the normal schoolers fits last year It will probably be his job to contain Sadler Both teams will have had one game behind them when they lock horns at the Armory The odds-makers are predicting a close tough game with the outcome depending on the foul-line
P e d s D e f e a t O n e o n t a
Rebounding strength and foul shooting proficiency made the big difference as Albany State ended up on the long side of a 70-49 route over Oneonta
Co-capiam Paul S h e e h a n and t ransfer Bol e h were he scoring l eaders hut the earn effort kept all the scoring een
Jim ODonovan was the t ig man off the hoards in the firs half ODonovan corra led a total of fourshyteen rebounds during he night Dan Zeh took oyer his role when Jim got into four trouble earl m the second half Jumping Dan swept the a n wa s for 10 rebounds
Hob Zeh as the big surpr i se for the Peds as he lumped in a night high of fourteen The overall bench strength drew comment from Coach Sauers He said I am pleasantly stunned by the elfort I received from all the guys
Slow Stort
The game started out slowly with the lead changing hands several t imes Dick Crosset t and Paul Shee-han were the early s c o r e r s Oneonta played a tight defense to keep Cros shysett from moving to the basket and succeeded until the rest of the t eam s scoring f o r c e d them to change

Spain Explores Her Inner Soul The CIRTNECOGE
by Elizabeth Stroud
by J A Gomez
Nikos Kazantzakis SPAIN (New York 1963) Simon and Schuster 254 pages - $500
Like D H Lawrence Nikos Kazshyantzakis was a frenzied prophet who preached a Dionysian vision of life Like Lawrence he was a world t r ave le r who sought some unobtainshyable ideal synthesis
Both wr i t e r s met with failure in their quest but both wr i te r s produced p e n e t r a t i n g t r a v e l b o o k s about the many lands that thev visited
Spain by Nikos Kazantzakis is not a t r ave l book in the ordinary sense of the word The reader sees l i t t le of the peaceful Spanish counshyt rys ide and the everyday life of the people but lie feels the depths of a people s soul
Kazantzakis por t ra i t of Spain is tinted by a mytho-his tor ical colorshyful and visionary explosion of emoshytion and philosophy Out of this unique vision r ides the undying heart of Spanish life mdash Don Quixote
T h e world has emerged from Gods hands rife with injustice and shortcomings And he the Knight of the Ideal was duty-bound to set it right For Don Quixotes work begins where Gods leaves off
Don Quixote Spain like the idealistic hero
of La Mancha set out on an advenshyturous dream The Spanish conshyquistador desired to bring Chr i s -bulltianity and Spanish rule to the world
In 1588 the real i ty of the English navy punctured this Don Quixotesque d r e a m and like her hero Spain re turned to her homeland to await her las t joust with death
Kazantzakis c la ims that along with Ulysses Faust and Hamlet Don Quixote i s deeply rooted in the hea r t s of men F o r perhaps of all the p r inces Don Quixote most faithfully m i r r o r s the fate of m a n
Don Miguel Unamuno The modern represen ta t ive of Don
Quixote is Don Miguel Unamuno Like the idealist ic hero Unamunos thoughts and plans for action a r e hidden in the misty clouds of a d ream
Most thinkers claimed that twenshytieth century Spain should be E u r -opeanized o thers felt that she should remain within her own borders and tradit ion Unamuno attempted to heal the wounded heart o f Spain he des i red to Spanify Europe
We are Africans We a re not s a r c a s t i c wits and mathemat ic ians like the Europeans We a re not sc ien t i s t s We use the things d i s shycovered by them e lec t r ic i ty the rai lway the telephone etc
But our spir i t is different we a r e mystical and t ragic Our inshyability to adapt ourse lves to E u r shyopean c u l t u r e will give us the s trength to c rea te a new culture of our own
Despair In his last yea r s this defeated
Spaniard was also forced to re turn to his homeland his own inner being and await death
His only constant companion was despa i r In one of his last works S a i n t E m m a n u e l t h e G o o d M a r t y r
he tells the story of a Catholic p r ies t who at tempts to give the people a faith in winch lie himsel i cannot believe
During the Spanish Civil War Kazantzakis and Unamuno met in the Falanee stronghold of Salashymanca Unamuno poured forth his troubled soul to his Greek friend
Al l of these things a re happening because (he Spaniards dont believe in anythingNothingNothing They a r e desperados The Spanish people have gone mad Not only the Spanish people the whole world today What is our duty To hide the truth from the peopleif they knew the truth the) couldnt go on They wouldnt want to live am inure The people need myth illusion decepshyt ion
legend is Don Juan Kazantzakis por t rayal of Don Juan like that of Albert Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus p re sen t s a man who is not in quest of the Ideal Love
He loves each woman with the same passion and delight and he knows that his l o v e is mere ly momentary H e p o s s e s s e s he is not possessed mdash and that is his p o w e r
To Kazantzakis Don Juan r e p shyr e sen t s the Spir i t t h e wakeful wandering f l ame which leaps up and escapes the c lutches of woman mdash Matter
Don Juan and Don Quixote passion and ideal ism form the roots of the Spanish people and Kazantzakis a t shytempts to t rans la te his mythical vision of these people to the unshyfamiliar reader
His verbal p o r t r a i t s a r e often as colorful g ro tesque and symbol i shycally personal as the visual por shyt r a i t s of El Greco H e (El Greco) succeeded by his line and color in crys ta l l iz ing an e ternal phantom the indestruct ible despair ing soul of m a n
Kazantzakis a t tempts a s imi la r purpose At t imes he is quite suc shycessful
Many thanks to Mr Robert Bell manager of the CO-OP w h o g r a -ciously supplied this book for review purposes
Movie Review
Some evening probably in the very near future (if it hasn t already taken place) the usual emptiness of winter- t ime dorm field will give way to complete havoc the usually crowded study lounges will concede to the al l - important first snowfall
Provided of course that the snows good packing and that there is enough to pack this very common occurrence can offer one of the happiest t imes here at State The re s no formal organization no p ressure (except an occasional being dragged outside physishycally) to join in no nothin cept a heap of fun
P r e s s u r e s build up and suddenly it hits you right between the eyes and you dont care how childishly you act mdash so you pick up a snowball twice as big and hit back The grade-school excitement of building forts staging attacks and running desperately from the enemy is suddenly rekindled the crazy mixture of thrilled annoyance that comes with snow down your back re turns in all its glory
Maybe i t s the unaccustomed vacation from the way a n adult in college should act maybe i t s the obshyvious exhilaration of the frosty cold maybe i t s the secre t grin because he (or she) is aiming more snow your direction than anyone e l se s whatever your own special reason the dorm field fracas is thoroughly enjoyable
Dont forget sew your coat buttons on securely avoid long winding scarves and d ress warmly (the medical office has limited gallons of Cepacol) but for heavens sake join in One ofthese days there s going to be a real hum-dinger of a battle mdash I hope youll take advantage of it

The latest vogue in motion-picshyture cr i t ic ism is the so- ra i l ed au-teur theory Formulated in France it has now spread by way of Engshyland into the United States
It supposedly originated in the pages of the magazine Cahie rs du Cinema during the period in the filties when new-wave d i r e c t o r s such as Francois Truffaut were merely c r i t i c s
It is based on the idea that the best f i lm-makers a r e those (mainh Europeans) who both write and dishyrect their films and so retain a great deal ol control
P e r s o n a l S t a t e m e n t A picture b one of these men
whether good or not is still much more ol a personal statement than a 111 in by some Hollywood directoi who had been assigned an already finished scr ipt
Such w r i t e r - d i r e c t o r s like Bergshyman Fellini and Antonioni a r e essentially the authors ( au teurs ) ol their films
As the books ol an author can be analyzed together so the works id an au teur can be taken as showing the development in te l lectualh and technically ol their makei Hence the spiritual s e a r c h o f l n g m a r Bergshyman ai com epts

But this basically sound and fairly sensible theory lias been so twisted in its t ranslat ion into English that it can only be recognized as a de -lormity of the original
As presented by Andrew Sarri s among o the r s in such magazines as Film Culture the au teur theory lias been combined with the Euroshypeans high regard lor the American film noir
The French in par t i cu la r seem inordinately impressed by films that in this country a re considered unimshyportant These a r e c r ime and gangshys te r l i lms ho r ro r p ic tures wesshyte rns and that s u n ol thing
In truth many films of this sort a r e underrated m America and recognition of the cinematic and intelligent ta lents ul such suspense and action d i r ec to r s as Alfred Hitchshycock and Anthony Mann has long been overdue
It is only when this idea is comshybined Willi the au ie i i i theory that 11 lnMnines dangerous
Mi s i n t e r p r e t a t i o n
The au teu r c r i t i c s l ime in apshyplying this theory lo American fi lms succeeded in conipleteh mi s in t e r shypret ing it As a resul t cer ta in dishyr e c t o r s have been elevated to the s ta tus id Gods

But as Gods then can do no wrong anil a r e physically unable to make a poor film Ilitchock Howard Hawks and John Ford a r e at present on the pinnacle of this pantheon
You thought that except technishycally The Bi rds was a vacant and vacuous pic ture You didnt undershystand it the au teur cr i t ic rationshyal izes I t s not a poorly plotted monster movie i t s an allegory on the human cniidit ion

They may appear good hut this is an optical illusion caused by a good cast or some othei factor Kven the worst John Ford lilm (and there is a (duse liable for the title) is better than the e n atie Henry Kings The Guulightei or William VVelbuans The Ox-Bow Incident for Knr ami Wellmaii are not lushyt e i n s
The liual irony ol die situation is that this coi i upted theory has come lull c i rc le It lias now infected us mother country F rance with its super fan-magazine type ol cr i t i shycism This is the final irony in a generally ironic situation

Constitution
During the commit tee r epo r t s the State University Revue constitution was brought up for approval A conshyt roversy a rose about the r equ i r e shyment that Senate approve the apshypointment of Ihe d i rec tor of the Revue
Some Senators complained that the constitution was poorly worded and that Senate should not have the final power of approval in the choice of d i rec to r
Senator Guddat 66 also pointed out the fact that the proposed con-

The Revue Constitution was sent back to Ed Wolner s Constitutions Committee by a vote of Senate

Chartering Service Inefficient The events of last Wednesday and Sunday proved the
inefficiency of Senate as a medium for char tered bus service A greater share of the blame however should r e s t on the Greyhound Bus Lines
Their complete lack of co-ordination was demonshystra ted on Wednesday afternoon when at least one bus was re-routed immediately before departure and again on Sunday evening when several buses were hours late o r didnt show up at all
Many individuals felt confident that by signing up on a Senate bus the success of the venture would be ensured The general faith of those students Inshyvolved was soon shattered It became more than c lear by the end of Thanksgiving vacation that the Greyhound Bus Lines was a poor business risk
We would suggest an investigation of the entire mat ter including the issue of refunds to those stushydents whose buses were re- routed or whose buses didnt appear at all We thank Senate for undertaking the huge charter ing plan to begin with but think it unfortunate that so many mishaps should have occurred
In the future we would suggest that another bus line be contracted for vacation char ter ing service

John F 1917-1963 He was a big athletic man and when
he walked on the speaker s platform even in his younger days he immediately attracted attention
His smile was quick and warm his personality overwhelming His wit was sharp and his commandof facts immense
Most of his fellow countrymen never met or even saw him personally Yet through our communications media we all got to know this man
We came to identify ourselves with him He projected an image we all admired mdash an image we can never forget He was a man worth emulating
A Little Faith Helps It is a sad commentary on the student
bodys common sense when they feel that the head of the University has less pashytriotic spirit than themselves
The rumors that were circulated among the students by several people about our school remaining in session during the National Day of Mourning proved to be completely untrue
Before waiting to get the facts several people took it upon themselves to inform the student body of the ut ter disrespect of the administration

suppression Windmills anyone We wonder if the editors of suppression
have lost sight of reality altogether in the past few months If not we suggest that they make some re-evaluation of their r e shycent editorials and make a big effort to come down to earth with the rest of us morta ls
suppression seems to feel that the things that interest students at State these days aren t really very important Issues conshycerning Greeks (who happen to comprise 40j of the student body) and ar t ic les on campus morality are seen as only windmill problems and not really worthy of attention
Unfortunately suppression has not conshydescended to tell us what really is imporshytant to the members of the University It would be nice if they ever got around to
doing this But until that momentous day
the student body will be kept in i and trust that the edi tors of sup speak true words of wisdom whim fer to the students as possessm lack of serious thinking
We are as bewildered by suppiv is everyone else We suppose v follow the lead of our intellcclui lgt in writing anrl attempt to write that will be really important
Perhaps if we star ted a ten w-i exploring the Nature of Truth nr t i d e s like Hur ray The Devil Bad we could do something i gt has broad appeal

Enrollment Readies Ail-Time High The academic year of 19G3-G4
shows a record enrol lment for State Universi ty at Albany and the enshyt i r e State University of New York T h e r e a re 3188 full-t ime students enrol led at Albany and 70j]0 in the State University
The above figures a r e a l l - t ime highs The introduction of yea r -round ca lendars at I larpur College the Agricul tural and Technical Inshyst i tute at Farmingda le and the Colshylege at New Palt accounts for par t of this record enro l lment
The full-time enrol lment r e p r e shysen ts a 125 increase over last yea r T h e r e a re also 46669 s tushydents in par t t ime degree credi t study and 8725 taking non-degree -credit cour ses The re a r e almost 132UOU students now attending c l a s shys e s throughout the State University
The year- round p r o g r a m s were introduced as a method of de t e rmin shying the possibil i ty of increasing full-lime enrollment through inshyc reased utilization of exist ing facilishyt i es
For maximum s u c c e s s the p r o shygram depends upon equal entering c l a s s e s The University does not expeel immediate accomplishment ol this goal but foresees a conshytinuing inc rease in reg is t ra t ion as the opportunit ies presented b ca l shy
endar operation b e c o m e bet ter known
Under the new sys t ems at Harpur and Farmingdale students attend c l a s s e s for two consecutive s e m e s shyt e r s and take the third off New Paltz students attend for th ree conshysecutive q u a r t e r s and take the fourth off
Students stand to benefit by these pilot p r o g r a m s for they may a c shyce le ra te their studies by yea r - round attendance and graduate e a r l i e r
There a re four new community colleges now In operation whose enrol lments have contributed to the total These a r e Je f fe rson Niagara Sullivan and Ulster County Comshymunity Colleges
As of September twenty-five of the twenty-eight authorized comshymunity colleges were in operation One sponsored by the Boards of Supervisors of Fulton and Montgomshyery Counties and two by the New York City Board of Higher Education should be open in September 1964
Project ions for future enrollment indicate that Hie three units opera t shying on year- round schedules will accept approximately 375 additional freshmen that could not have been accommodated under the two-semshyes t e r p rogram
As a result of the increased enrol lment the eventual full-time total for the year is expected to be ra ised to 77000

It is an accepted fact that educational standards are not all they could be in Albany There are two public high schools mdash Albany High and Philip Schuyshyler Albany High as you all know is located between Western Washington and Lake Avenues Philip Schuyler is at the corner of Trinity Place and Westerlo Street south of Madison Avenue in the South End
Due to the economic geography of Albany the stushydents who attend Schuyler are from generally lower socio-economic backgrounds and for this reason the standards are generally lower there
H o p e l e s s n e s s P r e v a i l s
The generally accepted theory of schooling is that a child attends until he hits a block like third year English or financial difficulties at home then quits to go to work
A feeling of hopelessness towards ever improving ones economic status prevails among almost all but it is even more deeply imbedded among Negroes due to existing discriminatory hiring pract ices among employers
Coupled with this hopelessness is the fact that the idea of college is completely outside of their frame of reference It is never an idea that is rejected it is never thought of While this situation seems almost hopeless something is being done something that can involve students here at State
At the beginning of last summer a tutorial project was started in Albany by two members of the Northern Student Movement It is s imilar to dozens of other projects in other cities across the northeast section of this country With the help of the Trinity Institute rooms were obtained in churches for teaching and college students started tutoring students from the South End on an individual bas is
If any of you are interested in helping one child get through high school and perhaps go to college you are invited to devote an hour and a half a week to this project To join or obtain further details see P r o shyfessor Hayes of the Speech Department in Richardson 288
Call this project what you will mdash foolish useless for do-gooders mdash anything you like the fact remains that it is working helping many students finish high school and even go to college who never would have
The only hitch is this mdash without volunteers from this school it will ultimately collapse Are you willing to help

Something new and different is coming to the S t a t e University Theatre Department Up to this time the student body has regarded the Theatre as the private property of those having previous experience or those solely involved in speech and dramatics
The purpose here is to give a peek at what goes on behind the scenes and on the stage and invite any and all who are interested to join us
Much Work Many hours of work go into one
University production But with the
work comes a feeling of pride and accomplishment in the knowledge that the job no matter how small was vitally important in creating the whole dramatic effect
Lighting props set construction and design costumes and makeup are just a few of the areas involved in putting together one good show Half the fun is watching these sepshyarate departments finally come toshygether the week of dress rehearsal when the director walks around with the kind of look on his face that makes you wonder if tiiis proshyduction will ever make it mdash and it does

Roz Ferrara one of the cast of USA is out f i t ted by Dennis Tu t t le costume head
Of course there isnt anything too romantic about all the technical work involved Its hard to get exshycited about hanging a light sweeping the stage painting a flat or hemming a skirt but there is definitely someshything exciting in knowing that all these jobs are going to make a production an audience will truly appreciate
Opening Night That story about opening night is
really true The smell of make-up the heat from the lights the crew members running around frantically and the cast people who always seem to get in the way give you a kind of thrill yuu just cant get anyplace else
Its electric and its infectious mdash and frustration that accompanies rehearsals seem to disappear when that curtain finally opens
When a production is over the lights are turned down Hie stage is bare and there are onlj a few props left in the wings perhaps an old telephone a cane or a crumpled hat Ihat an old lady wore in the second yet
Theres nothing left but an echo Uui the people who walked across the stage took home with them a pocket full of memories the laughs when the) couldnt find the right light switch the tears when a scene just wouldnt come and the unbelievshyably warm feeling when the audience rings with applause a world of make-believe with verj real reshywards
The cast for USA rehearses a scene in the Li t t le Theatre Seated left to right are Harry Guy Lee L i s s Sharon House Roz Ferrara Ass is tan t Director Sheila Brown and head of custumes Dennis Tuttle confer with Director James ELeonard

Directors Eye-View of USA9
Acquaints Students With Production by Dr James M L e o n a r d
USA the play by Paul Shy re and John Dos Passos chronicles that exciting period of American history from 1900 to 1930 That history is conveyed for the most part by a staccato recitation of newspaper headlines from the period The headline scenes are informative but also surprising and amusing and a re placed in striking relationships to the other scenes of the play
Piano music of the period is used to bridge the historical material and the segments of a more personal nature as well as to provide the background for the headlines In addition to an impersonal recitation of headlines to give the flavor of events of the period there are passages in the play which will
describe some of the most colorful pe r shysonalit ies of the t ime In brief segments the audience meets Rudolph Valentino a n d Isadora Duncan political figures Emma Goldman and Eugene Debs and the well-known mechanics Henry Ford and Orville and Wilbur Wright
The epic level of presentation described some al ternates with a personal level which concerns itself throughout the play with the life of J Ward Moo rehouse whose experiences embody Dos Passos r ecu r r ing theme of the corruption of the individual by commercial ism
F a l s e Va lues
Moo rehouse s life unfolds against the background of the turbulent and excessive e ra which stretched from theturn-of- the-century to the Great Depression when individuals and the nation were being swept along in a flurry of false values
The epic and the personal combine to produce an informative sa t i r ic ind nosshytalgic presentation The predominant tone of the play is one of irony The audience is made aware of the superficiality of most of the personal and national commitshyments shown in the play
There is also affection in the t reatshyment and one gets the feeding that the great enthusiasms of the era when they do not produce worthy results often leave their own gratuitous t ra i ls of glory
The production then will embrace tlie personal and the epic the sat ir ic and the nostalgic the bite and the warmth of the script The production should show too that at times beneath the chrome exter ior of a bland national enthusiasm lay hints of horror
C o m b i n a t i o n of Techn iques
All this is to be accomplished by enactshyment headlines narra t ions music scenic projections and dance Such a combinashytion of techniques is reminiscent of the Federal Thea t re s Living Newspaper and s imi lar to televisions That Was The Week That Was
These external techniques and the inner atti tudes then combine to form the p ro shyduction in which the auditory visual

and temporal elements which make up theatre have been organized into an exshypressive shape
During rehearsals t h i s expressive shape must be allowed to evolve from the creative freedom of those involved in production
The director however must shape the play even as he encourages freedom From this process emerges a style which hopefully is not a directorial imposition or the imposition of a part icular h is shytorical period or mode of staging or even the imposition of a part icular playshywright but the unique style of the play

The time has come to think of Christmas shopping for the Yuletide will be upon us quicker than you can say Jack Robinshyson (Have you ever wondered incidentally ubout the origin of this interesting phrase Quicker than you can say Jack Robinson Well sir the original saying was FrenchmdashPlus
trite que de dire Jacques Robespierre Jack Robinson is as everyshyone knows an Anglicization of Jacques Robespierre who was
as everyone knows the famous figure from the French Revolushy

Dunton Mura t Caligula and Al Capone
(The reason people started saying Quicker than you can
say Jacques Robespierre mdashor Jack Robinson as he is called in
English-speaking countries like England the US and Cleveshy
landmdashis quite an interesting little story It seems that Robesshy
pierres wife Georges Sand got word of the plot to murder
her husband in his bath All she had to do to save his life was
call his name and warn him Rut alas quicker than she could
say Jacques Robespierre she received a telegram from her old
friend Frederic Chopin who was down in Majorca setting lyrics
3lhk hi to Jo wtcjll tit time to his immortal Warsaw Concerto Chopin said he needed
Cleorges Sands help desperately because he could not fintl a
rhyme for Warsaw Naturally Georges could not refuse
such an urgent request
(Well sir off to Majorca went Georges but before she left
she told her little daughter Walter that some bad men were
coming to n urtler Daddy in his bath She instructed Walter
to shout Robespierres name the moment the bad men arrived
Rut Walter alas had been sea-bathing that morning on the
Riviera and she had come home with a big bug of salt water
taffy and when the bad men arrived to murder Robespierre
Walter alas was chewing a wad of taffy and could not get her
mouth unstuck in time to shout a warning Robespierre alas
was murdered quicker than you could say Jacques Robespierre
mdashor Jack Robinson as be is called in English-speaking countries
(There is I am pleased to report one small nob of cheer
in this grisly tale When Georges Sand got to Majorca she did
succeed in helping Chopin find a rhyme for Warsaw as everyshy
one knows who has heard those haunting lyrics

The five fraterni t ies which now exist a re the largest number in Sta te s history however the eight so ro r i t i e s represent only slightly more than half of the fifteen which in the ear ly 1930s offered group membersh ip to Albanys female popshyulation

The soror i ty situation remained unchanged until 1913 when Gamma Kappa Phi appealed That year also marked the establ ishment of the first f ra terni ty Sigma Nu Kappa
In 1916 the Gamma Chapter of Kappa Delta Hho a national f ra te r shynity was brought to State (it was la ter to drop i ts national affiliations and become Alpha Pi Alpha) A third fraterni ty Kappa Nu was founded in 1918

Soror i t i es rapidly increased in number and by 1932 fifteen of lliein were actively functioning
f r a t e r n i t i e s did not multiply in number so swiftly Kappa Beta was organized in 1937 The formation of the group was encouraged by a need for more housing for men and its first s taled purpose was to found a group house for men SLS was also organized in 1937

Johnson Senate Record Indicates Liberal Civil Rights Outlook
by Joseph W Golu
The assass inat ion of President Kennedy leaves everyone at a loss for words with a feeling of utter he lp lessness
The w o r l d s greates t surgeon could do nothing ihe best speaker could not find words to express the feelings of an individual the nation or himself t h e world s s t ronges t man could do nothing to lend even an ounce of strength to the Pres ident as he lay dying
The impossibili ty of the task of express ing o n e s feelings in a limited space forbids my attempt to say that which I still feel The only profitable course is to face the present and future and conshys ider Lvndon Baines Johnson
Civil Rights Record
Those who wonder about civil r ights should remember that it was Johnson who was the leader of the Senate when all modern civil rights legislation was passed
It was Johnson who put the Senshyate on a 24-hour a day schedule thus defeating the Southern filishybuster Johnson the so-cal led conshyserva t ive was the man who pushed through the 1959 and 19(30 Senates the legislation which Ike vetoed as being too radical
I do not expect Johnson to present Congress with the type of legisshylation which Kennedy presented and which bogged Congress down to its present do little pace
Kennedys Far Reaching Programs I do not expect Johnson to come
up with the extremely far- reaching plans that Kennedy had the corps for peace the complete revision of our tax s t ruc tu re the complete revision of our tarill policy a ra ther complete program for South American and South-eastern Asian development
Kennedy in his two years and ten months presented (according to Richard Russe l I )more f a r - r each shying legislation than even FDR in the Hundred Days Kennedys p r o shyg rams were not hastily prepared or presented to a wildly enthusiastic Congress
Kennedys approach was almost entirely intellectual When dealing even with defense he calmlv quoted s ta t i s t ics ol we a re 600c more
capable to fight guer i l las etc
Approach Will Differ Johnsons approach will combine
the intel lectualism of Kennedy with a more ear thy more folksy more urbane style
He will not descent to the level of telling the American people what they want but I expect nation-wide television a d d r e s s e s on his pr ior i ty legislation
I also expect Johnson to deal with Congressional leaders in a manner more firm than that of Kennedy I feel su re that the Senshyate will be m o v i n g faster and will probably replace Mansfield as leader
In the House the leadership is on its last legs McCormack has his last chance right now If he does not make good he will p robshyably vield to someone new The current House underlings stand little chance of replacing McCormack
No Problem In general I feel that the people
who worry about Johnson s conser shyvatism are creat ing their own probshylem Johnson s tar ted in the House of Representat ives as a New Deal darl ing This hardly reflects conshyse rva t i sm
His opponents in pr imary e lecshytions in Texas have always painted Johnson as an ex t reme liberal
My only fear is that Johnsons att i tudes a re not urban We have gone back to a rura l President after our first truly urban P r e s i shydent in many yea r s
I feel that the Johnson record on civil r ights and in getting civil r ights legislation through the Senshyate is a irue indication of the man s att i tudes and potential

STATE COLLEGE C O - O P
HAMMING IT UP
by Ron Hamilton
The contest slated for tomorrow night was to have proved a point made in this column a few weeks ago Unfortunately the Fates have fouled things up again New Pal tz s s tar center has withdrawn from school this semester It seems that dispite valiant attempts to keep this not too academically inclined lad in school he has backed out for a semes te r The odds now favor Albany
On the national basketball scene we a re going to place our heads on the block (not that they havent been there before) and pick NYU to finish no 1 in the country with Loyola of Chicago a close second Please save your comments until the end of the season
For study bugs that dont want to make the long tr ip VVSUA will be broadcasting the games We urge all students that cant attend the games in person to tune in the play by play account on VVSUA Rememshyber i t s your team
The cold weather heralds the possible appearance of the one the only Lake Minerva Yes friends that cancerous pond that we all love so well may appear overnight as if createdby a wonderful magician The new students a re in store for a marvelous treat If we all pray real hard the wondrous transformation may take place on Dorm Field
Could someone tell us how male cheer leaders a re going to inspire State fans to bigger and bet ter cheers We have nothing against males waving the pom poms but we fail to see any gain in refusing the gir ls admittance to the ranks of the rah rah squad We are certainly not an all male school as any State coed will tell you so le t s have EQUAL opportunity for all
Another prediction Albany State mdash 15-7 s tart ing with Oneonta as first victim

CAGERS TO HOST NEW PALTZ TEAM NOTCHES WIN IN OPENER
The New Paltz Hawks invade the Washington Ave Armory tomorrow night to do battle with the Peds New Paltz has shown great improvement in recent years and is expected to be strong Last year the Hawks received outstanding play from Bob Dilman and Fred Sadler Dilman has graduated but Sadler was only a freshman Big Fred was the teams leading score r and rebounder Reports indicate that New Platz has picked up several t ransfers but they a re unconfirmed
Albany will be going with two veteran s t a r t e r s Dick Crosset t and Joe Loudis The shifty Crosset t gave the normal schoolers fits last year It will probably be his job to contain Sadler Both teams will have had one game behind them when they lock horns at the Armory The odds-makers are predicting a close tough game with the outcome depending on the foul-line
P e d s D e f e a t O n e o n t a
Rebounding strength and foul shooting proficiency made the big difference as Albany State ended up on the long side of a 70-49 route over Oneonta
Co-capiam Paul S h e e h a n and t ransfer Bol e h were he scoring l eaders hut the earn effort kept all the scoring een
Jim ODonovan was the t ig man off the hoards in the firs half ODonovan corra led a total of fourshyteen rebounds during he night Dan Zeh took oyer his role when Jim got into four trouble earl m the second half Jumping Dan swept the a n wa s for 10 rebounds
Hob Zeh as the big surpr i se for the Peds as he lumped in a night high of fourteen The overall bench strength drew comment from Coach Sauers He said I am pleasantly stunned by the elfort I received from all the guys
Slow Stort
The game started out slowly with the lead changing hands several t imes Dick Crosset t and Paul Shee-han were the early s c o r e r s Oneonta played a tight defense to keep Cros shysett from moving to the basket and succeeded until the rest of the t eam s scoring f o r c e d them to change
Crosse t t last yea r s second leadshying score r played less than a third ol the game as he had early foul u ouble
The hall nine score yvas ciose 10-21 in favoi of State Oneonta failed to take adaniage of then foul shots yvhile State seemingly couldnt miss The gap widened and with ten innines left to gt the Red Dragons began some er costly fouling State pulled awa The final i uzet s o u 11- i and Stare was twenty -bull ne poms i - t 70-49

Literary Review
Spain Explores Her Inner Soul The CIRTNECOGE
by Elizabeth Stroud
by J A Gomez
Nikos Kazantzakis SPAIN (New York 1963) Simon and Schuster 254 pages - $500
Like D H Lawrence Nikos Kazshyantzakis was a frenzied prophet who preached a Dionysian vision of life Like Lawrence he was a world t r ave le r who sought some unobtainshyable ideal synthesis
Both wr i t e r s met with failure in their quest but both wr i te r s produced p e n e t r a t i n g t r a v e l b o o k s about the many lands that thev visited
Spain by Nikos Kazantzakis is not a t r ave l book in the ordinary sense of the word The reader sees l i t t le of the peaceful Spanish counshyt rys ide and the everyday life of the people but lie feels the depths of a people s soul
Kazantzakis por t ra i t of Spain is tinted by a mytho-his tor ical colorshyful and visionary explosion of emoshytion and philosophy Out of this unique vision r ides the undying heart of Spanish life mdash Don Quixote
T h e world has emerged from Gods hands rife with injustice and shortcomings And he the Knight of the Ideal was duty-bound to set it right For Don Quixotes work begins where Gods leaves off
Don Quixote Spain like the idealistic hero
of La Mancha set out on an advenshyturous dream The Spanish conshyquistador desired to bring Chr i s -bulltianity and Spanish rule to the world
In 1588 the real i ty of the English navy punctured this Don Quixotesque d r e a m and like her hero Spain re turned to her homeland to await her las t joust with death
Kazantzakis c la ims that along with Ulysses Faust and Hamlet Don Quixote i s deeply rooted in the hea r t s of men F o r perhaps of all the p r inces Don Quixote most faithfully m i r r o r s the fate of m a n
Don Miguel Unamuno The modern represen ta t ive of Don
Quixote is Don Miguel Unamuno Like the idealist ic hero Unamunos thoughts and plans for action a r e hidden in the misty clouds of a d ream
Most thinkers claimed that twenshytieth century Spain should be E u r -opeanized o thers felt that she should remain within her own borders and tradit ion Unamuno attempted to heal the wounded heart o f Spain he des i red to Spanify Europe
We are Africans We a re not s a r c a s t i c wits and mathemat ic ians like the Europeans We a re not sc ien t i s t s We use the things d i s shycovered by them e lec t r ic i ty the rai lway the telephone etc
But our spir i t is different we a r e mystical and t ragic Our inshyability to adapt ourse lves to E u r shyopean c u l t u r e will give us the s trength to c rea te a new culture of our own
Despair In his last yea r s this defeated
Spaniard was also forced to re turn to his homeland his own inner being and await death
His only constant companion was despa i r In one of his last works S a i n t E m m a n u e l t h e G o o d M a r t y r
he tells the story of a Catholic p r ies t who at tempts to give the people a faith in winch lie himsel i cannot believe
During the Spanish Civil War Kazantzakis and Unamuno met in the Falanee stronghold of Salashymanca Unamuno poured forth his troubled soul to his Greek friend
Al l of these things a re happening because (he Spaniards dont believe in anythingNothingNothing They a r e desperados The Spanish people have gone mad Not only the Spanish people the whole world today What is our duty To hide the truth from the peopleif they knew the truth the) couldnt go on They wouldnt want to live am inure The people need myth illusion decepshyt ion
legend is Don Juan Kazantzakis por t rayal of Don Juan like that of Albert Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus p re sen t s a man who is not in quest of the Ideal Love
He loves each woman with the same passion and delight and he knows that his l o v e is mere ly momentary H e p o s s e s s e s he is not possessed mdash and that is his p o w e r
To Kazantzakis Don Juan r e p shyr e sen t s the Spir i t t h e wakeful wandering f l ame which leaps up and escapes the c lutches of woman mdash Matter
Don Juan and Don Quixote passion and ideal ism form the roots of the Spanish people and Kazantzakis a t shytempts to t rans la te his mythical vision of these people to the unshyfamiliar reader
His verbal p o r t r a i t s a r e often as colorful g ro tesque and symbol i shycally personal as the visual por shyt r a i t s of El Greco H e (El Greco) succeeded by his line and color in crys ta l l iz ing an e ternal phantom the indestruct ible despair ing soul of m a n
Kazantzakis a t tempts a s imi la r purpose At t imes he is quite suc shycessful
Many thanks to Mr Robert Bell manager of the CO-OP w h o g r a -ciously supplied this book for review purposes
Movie Review
Some evening probably in the very near future (if it hasn t already taken place) the usual emptiness of winter- t ime dorm field will give way to complete havoc the usually crowded study lounges will concede to the al l - important first snowfall
Provided of course that the snows good packing and that there is enough to pack this very common occurrence can offer one of the happiest t imes here at State The re s no formal organization no p ressure (except an occasional being dragged outside physishycally) to join in no nothin cept a heap of fun
P r e s s u r e s build up and suddenly it hits you right between the eyes and you dont care how childishly you act mdash so you pick up a snowball twice as big and hit back The grade-school excitement of building forts staging attacks and running desperately from the enemy is suddenly rekindled the crazy mixture of thrilled annoyance that comes with snow down your back re turns in all its glory
Maybe i t s the unaccustomed vacation from the way a n adult in college should act maybe i t s the obshyvious exhilaration of the frosty cold maybe i t s the secre t grin because he (or she) is aiming more snow your direction than anyone e l se s whatever your own special reason the dorm field fracas is thoroughly enjoyable
Dont forget sew your coat buttons on securely avoid long winding scarves and d ress warmly (the medical office has limited gallons of Cepacol) but for heavens sake join in One ofthese days there s going to be a real hum-dinger of a battle mdash I hope youll take advantage of it

The latest vogue in motion-picshyture cr i t ic ism is the so- ra i l ed au-teur theory Formulated in France it has now spread by way of Engshyland into the United States
It supposedly originated in the pages of the magazine Cahie rs du Cinema during the period in the filties when new-wave d i r e c t o r s such as Francois Truffaut were merely c r i t i c s
It is based on the idea that the best f i lm-makers a r e those (mainh Europeans) who both write and dishyrect their films and so retain a great deal ol control
P e r s o n a l S t a t e m e n t A picture b one of these men
whether good or not is still much more ol a personal statement than a 111 in by some Hollywood directoi who had been assigned an already finished scr ipt
Such w r i t e r - d i r e c t o r s like Bergshyman Fellini and Antonioni a r e essentially the authors ( au teurs ) ol their films
As the books ol an author can be analyzed together so the works id an au teur can be taken as showing the development in te l lectualh and technically ol their makei Hence the spiritual s e a r c h o f l n g m a r Bergshyman ai com epts

But this basically sound and fairly sensible theory lias been so twisted in its t ranslat ion into English that it can only be recognized as a de -lormity of the original
As presented by Andrew Sarri s among o the r s in such magazines as Film Culture the au teur theory lias been combined with the Euroshypeans high regard lor the American film noir
The French in par t i cu la r seem inordinately impressed by films that in this country a re considered unimshyportant These a r e c r ime and gangshys te r l i lms ho r ro r p ic tures wesshyte rns and that s u n ol thing
In truth many films of this sort a r e underrated m America and recognition of the cinematic and intelligent ta lents ul such suspense and action d i r ec to r s as Alfred Hitchshycock and Anthony Mann has long been overdue
It is only when this idea is comshybined Willi the au ie i i i theory that 11 lnMnines dangerous
Mi s i n t e r p r e t a t i o n
The au teu r c r i t i c s l ime in apshyplying this theory lo American fi lms succeeded in conipleteh mi s in t e r shypret ing it As a resul t cer ta in dishyr e c t o r s have been elevated to the s ta tus id Gods

But as Gods then can do no wrong anil a r e physically unable to make a poor film Ilitchock Howard Hawks and John Ford a r e at present on the pinnacle of this pantheon
You thought that except technishycally The Bi rds was a vacant and vacuous pic ture You didnt undershystand it the au teur cr i t ic rationshyal izes I t s not a poorly plotted monster movie i t s an allegory on the human cniidit ion
A II Fa i l ures All nun - an i en t s such as Carol
heed and John Huston (the d i s shytinction is completely a rb i t ra ry ) have never through their own skill made a good lilin
They may appear good hut this is an optical illusion caused by a good cast or some othei factor Kven the worst John Ford lilm (and there is a (duse liable for the title) is better than the e n atie Henry Kings The Guulightei or William VVelbuans The Ox-Bow Incident for Knr ami Wellmaii are not lushyt e i n s
The liual irony ol die situation is that this coi i upted theory has come lull c i rc le It lias now infected us mother country F rance with its super fan-magazine type ol cr i t i shycism This is the final irony in a generally ironic situation

Something new and different is coming to the S t a t e University Theatre Department Up to this time the student body has regarded the Theatre as the private property of those having previous experience or those solely involved in speech and dramatics
The purpose here is to give a peek at what goes on behind the scenes and on the stage and invite any and all who are interested to join us
Much Work Many hours of work go into one
University production But with the
work comes a feeling of pride and accomplishment in the knowledge that the job no matter how small was vitally important in creating the whole dramatic effect
Lighting props set construction and design costumes and makeup are just a few of the areas involved in putting together one good show Half the fun is watching these sepshyarate departments finally come toshygether the week of dress rehearsal when the director walks around with the kind of look on his face that makes you wonder if tiiis proshyduction will ever make it mdash and it does

Roz Ferrara one of the cast of USA is out f i t ted by Dennis Tu t t le costume head
Of course there isnt anything too romantic about all the technical work involved Its hard to get exshycited about hanging a light sweeping the stage painting a flat or hemming a skirt but there is definitely someshything exciting in knowing that all these jobs are going to make a production an audience will truly appreciate
Opening Night That story about opening night is
really true The smell of make-up the heat from the lights the crew members running around frantically and the cast people who always seem to get in the way give you a kind of thrill yuu just cant get anyplace else
Its electric and its infectious mdash and frustration that accompanies rehearsals seem to disappear when that curtain finally opens
When a production is over the lights are turned down Hie stage is bare and there are onlj a few props left in the wings perhaps an old telephone a cane or a crumpled hat Ihat an old lady wore in the second yet
Theres nothing left but an echo Uui the people who walked across the stage took home with them a pocket full of memories the laughs when the) couldnt find the right light switch the tears when a scene just wouldnt come and the unbelievshyably warm feeling when the audience rings with applause a world of make-believe with verj real reshywards

Acquaints Students With Production by Dr James M L e o n a r d
USA the play by Paul Shy re and John Dos Passos chronicles that exciting period of American history from 1900 to 1930 That history is conveyed for the most part by a staccato recitation of newspaper headlines from the period The headline scenes are informative but also surprising and amusing and a re placed in striking relationships to the other scenes of the play
Piano music of the period is used to bridge the historical material and the segments of a more personal nature as well as to provide the background for the headlines In addition to an impersonal recitation of headlines to give the flavor of events of the period there are passages in the play which will
describe some of the most colorful pe r shysonalit ies of the t ime In brief segments the audience meets Rudolph Valentino a n d Isadora Duncan political figures Emma Goldman and Eugene Debs and the well-known mechanics Henry Ford and Orville and Wilbur Wright
The epic level of presentation described some al ternates with a personal level which concerns itself throughout the play with the life of J Ward Moo rehouse whose experiences embody Dos Passos r ecu r r ing theme of the corruption of the individual by commercial ism
F a l s e Va lues
Moo rehouse s life unfolds against the background of the turbulent and excessive e ra which stretched from theturn-of- the-century to the Great Depression when individuals and the nation were being swept along in a flurry of false values
The epic and the personal combine to produce an informative sa t i r ic ind nosshytalgic presentation The predominant tone of the play is one of irony The audience is made aware of the superficiality of most of the personal and national commitshyments shown in the play
There is also affection in the t reatshyment and one gets the feeding that the great enthusiasms of the era when they do not produce worthy results often leave their own gratuitous t ra i ls of glory
The production then will embrace tlie personal and the epic the sat ir ic and the nostalgic the bite and the warmth of the script The production should show too that at times beneath the chrome exter ior of a bland national enthusiasm lay hints of horror
C o m b i n a t i o n of Techn iques
All this is to be accomplished by enactshyment headlines narra t ions music scenic projections and dance Such a combinashytion of techniques is reminiscent of the Federal Thea t re s Living Newspaper and s imi lar to televisions That Was The Week That Was
These external techniques and the inner atti tudes then combine to form the p ro shyduction in which the auditory visual

and temporal elements which make up theatre have been organized into an exshypressive shape
During rehearsals t h i s expressive shape must be allowed to evolve from the creative freedom of those involved in production
The director however must shape the play even as he encourages freedom From this process emerges a style which hopefully is not a directorial imposition or the imposition of a part icular h is shytorical period or mode of staging or even the imposition of a part icular playshywright but the unique style of the play

The time has come to think of Christmas shopping for the Yuletide will be upon us quicker than you can say Jack Robinshyson (Have you ever wondered incidentally ubout the origin of this interesting phrase Quicker than you can say Jack Robinson Well sir the original saying was FrenchmdashPlus
trite que de dire Jacques Robespierre Jack Robinson is as everyshyone knows an Anglicization of Jacques Robespierre who was
as everyone knows the famous figure from the French Revolushy

Dunton Mura t Caligula and Al Capone
(The reason people started saying Quicker than you can
say Jacques Robespierre mdashor Jack Robinson as he is called in
English-speaking countries like England the US and Cleveshy
landmdashis quite an interesting little story It seems that Robesshy
pierres wife Georges Sand got word of the plot to murder
her husband in his bath All she had to do to save his life was
call his name and warn him Rut alas quicker than she could
say Jacques Robespierre she received a telegram from her old
friend Frederic Chopin who was down in Majorca setting lyrics
3lhk hi to Jo wtcjll tit time to his immortal Warsaw Concerto Chopin said he needed
Cleorges Sands help desperately because he could not fintl a
rhyme for Warsaw Naturally Georges could not refuse
such an urgent request
(Well sir off to Majorca went Georges but before she left
she told her little daughter Walter that some bad men were
coming to n urtler Daddy in his bath She instructed Walter
to shout Robespierres name the moment the bad men arrived
Rut Walter alas had been sea-bathing that morning on the
Riviera and she had come home with a big bug of salt water
taffy and when the bad men arrived to murder Robespierre
Walter alas was chewing a wad of taffy and could not get her
mouth unstuck in time to shout a warning Robespierre alas
was murdered quicker than you could say Jacques Robespierre
mdashor Jack Robinson as be is called in English-speaking countries
(There is I am pleased to report one small nob of cheer
in this grisly tale When Georges Sand got to Majorca she did
succeed in helping Chopin find a rhyme for Warsaw as everyshy
one knows who has heard those haunting lyrics

Fraternities and Sororities The Vital Hub of Stales

The five fraterni t ies which now exist a re the largest number in Sta te s history however the eight so ro r i t i e s represent only slightly more than half of the fifteen which in the ear ly 1930s offered group membersh ip to Albanys female popshyulation
Delta Omega was the first so r shyority being formed in 1890 It r e shymained the sole sorori ty until 1896 when it was then joined by Eta Phi

now Kappa Delta was organized in 1897 witli the goal of fu r the r shying friendship l o y a l l y and Ihe development of the individual Psi Gamma began soon after in 1898 and was originally formed as a l i t e ra ry group
The soror i ty situation remained unchanged until 1913 when Gamma Kappa Phi appealed That year also marked the establ ishment of the first f ra terni ty Sigma Nu Kappa
In 1916 the Gamma Chapter of Kappa Delta Hho a national f ra te r shynity was brought to State (it was la ter to drop i ts national affiliations and become Alpha Pi Alpha) A third fraterni ty Kappa Nu was founded in 1918

Even though we know these things to be t rue we need to remind ourselves of our dedication to reason and to intelligence We do identify we do feel personal loss we do gr ieve and after grief comes anger and a revulsion against the senseTess savagery of blind butchery
And this emotion too finds personal express ion and we let violence beget violence as the accused ki l ler vet untried is in his turn killed We who a r e dedicated to the integrity and the Unprovability and the inviolability of the individual suffer this ult imate violation of individual integrity - the man whatever his guilt killed by a self-designated executioner while our peace officers guardians of the orderly p r o shycesses of law hold him

Johnson Senate Record Indicates Liberal Civil Rights Outlook
by Joseph W Golu
The assass inat ion of President Kennedy leaves everyone at a loss for words with a feeling of utter he lp lessness
The w o r l d s greates t surgeon could do nothing ihe best speaker could not find words to express the feelings of an individual the nation or himself t h e world s s t ronges t man could do nothing to lend even an ounce of strength to the Pres ident as he lay dying
The impossibili ty of the task of express ing o n e s feelings in a limited space forbids my attempt to say that which I still feel The only profitable course is to face the present and future and conshys ider Lvndon Baines Johnson
Civil Rights Record
Those who wonder about civil r ights should remember that it was Johnson who was the leader of the Senate when all modern civil rights legislation was passed
It was Johnson who put the Senshyate on a 24-hour a day schedule thus defeating the Southern filishybuster Johnson the so-cal led conshyserva t ive was the man who pushed through the 1959 and 19(30 Senates the legislation which Ike vetoed as being too radical
I do not expect Johnson to present Congress with the type of legisshylation which Kennedy presented and which bogged Congress down to its present do little pace
Kennedys Far Reaching Programs I do not expect Johnson to come
up with the extremely far- reaching plans that Kennedy had the corps for peace the complete revision of our tax s t ruc tu re the complete revision of our tarill policy a ra ther complete program for South American and South-eastern Asian development
Kennedy in his two years and ten months presented (according to Richard Russe l I )more f a r - r each shying legislation than even FDR in the Hundred Days Kennedys p r o shyg rams were not hastily prepared or presented to a wildly enthusiastic Congress
Kennedys approach was almost entirely intellectual When dealing even with defense he calmlv quoted s ta t i s t ics ol we a re 600c more
capable to fight guer i l las etc
Approach Will Differ Johnsons approach will combine
the intel lectualism of Kennedy with a more ear thy more folksy more urbane style
He will not descent to the level of telling the American people what they want but I expect nation-wide television a d d r e s s e s on his pr ior i ty legislation
I also expect Johnson to deal with Congressional leaders in a manner more firm than that of Kennedy I feel su re that the Senshyate will be m o v i n g faster and will probably replace Mansfield as leader
In the House the leadership is on its last legs McCormack has his last chance right now If he does not make good he will p robshyably vield to someone new The current House underlings stand little chance of replacing McCormack
No Problem In general I feel that the people
who worry about Johnson s conser shyvatism are creat ing their own probshylem Johnson s tar ted in the House of Representat ives as a New Deal darl ing This hardly reflects conshyse rva t i sm
His opponents in pr imary e lecshytions in Texas have always painted Johnson as an ex t reme liberal
My only fear is that Johnsons att i tudes a re not urban We have gone back to a rura l President after our first truly urban P r e s i shydent in many yea r s
I feel that the Johnson record on civil r ights and in getting civil r ights legislation through the Senshyate is a irue indication of the man s att i tudes and potential

HAMMING IT UP
by Ron Hamilton
The contest slated for tomorrow night was to have proved a point made in this column a few weeks ago Unfortunately the Fates have fouled things up again New Pal tz s s tar center has withdrawn from school this semester It seems that dispite valiant attempts to keep this not too academically inclined lad in school he has backed out for a semes te r The odds now favor Albany
On the national basketball scene we a re going to place our heads on the block (not that they havent been there before) and pick NYU to finish no 1 in the country with Loyola of Chicago a close second Please save your comments until the end of the season
For study bugs that dont want to make the long tr ip VVSUA will be broadcasting the games We urge all students that cant attend the games in person to tune in the play by play account on VVSUA Rememshyber i t s your team
The cold weather heralds the possible appearance of the one the only Lake Minerva Yes friends that cancerous pond that we all love so well may appear overnight as if createdby a wonderful magician The new students a re in store for a marvelous treat If we all pray real hard the wondrous transformation may take place on Dorm Field
Could someone tell us how male cheer leaders a re going to inspire State fans to bigger and bet ter cheers We have nothing against males waving the pom poms but we fail to see any gain in refusing the gir ls admittance to the ranks of the rah rah squad We are certainly not an all male school as any State coed will tell you so le t s have EQUAL opportunity for all

CAGERS TO HOST NEW PALTZ TEAM NOTCHES WIN IN OPENER
The New Paltz Hawks invade the Washington Ave Armory tomorrow night to do battle with the Peds New Paltz has shown great improvement in recent years and is expected to be strong Last year the Hawks received outstanding play from Bob Dilman and Fred Sadler Dilman has graduated but Sadler was only a freshman Big Fred was the teams leading score r and rebounder Reports indicate that New Platz has picked up several t ransfers but they a re unconfirmed
Albany will be going with two veteran s t a r t e r s Dick Crosset t and Joe Loudis The shifty Crosset t gave the normal schoolers fits last year It will probably be his job to contain Sadler Both teams will have had one game behind them when they lock horns at the Armory The odds-makers are predicting a close tough game with the outcome depending on the foul-line
P e d s D e f e a t O n e o n t a
Rebounding strength and foul shooting proficiency made the big difference as Albany State ended up on the long side of a 70-49 route over Oneonta
Co-capiam Paul S h e e h a n and t ransfer Bol e h were he scoring l eaders hut the earn effort kept all the scoring een
Jim ODonovan was the t ig man off the hoards in the firs half ODonovan corra led a total of fourshyteen rebounds during he night Dan Zeh took oyer his role when Jim got into four trouble earl m the second half Jumping Dan swept the a n wa s for 10 rebounds
Hob Zeh as the big surpr i se for the Peds as he lumped in a night high of fourteen The overall bench strength drew comment from Coach Sauers He said I am pleasantly stunned by the elfort I received from all the guys
Slow Stort
The game started out slowly with the lead changing hands several t imes Dick Crosset t and Paul Shee-han were the early s c o r e r s Oneonta played a tight defense to keep Cros shysett from moving to the basket and succeeded until the rest of the t eam s scoring f o r c e d them to change
Crosse t t last yea r s second leadshying score r played less than a third ol the game as he had early foul u ouble
The hall nine score yvas ciose 10-21 in favoi of State Oneonta failed to take adaniage of then foul shots yvhile State seemingly couldnt miss The gap widened and with ten innines left to gt the Red Dragons began some er costly fouling State pulled awa The final i uzet s o u 11- i and Stare was twenty -bull ne poms i - t 70-49

Literary Review
Spain Explores Her Inner Soul The CIRTNECOGE
by Elizabeth Stroud
by J A Gomez
Nikos Kazantzakis SPAIN (New York 1963) Simon and Schuster 254 pages - $500
Like D H Lawrence Nikos Kazshyantzakis was a frenzied prophet who preached a Dionysian vision of life Like Lawrence he was a world t r ave le r who sought some unobtainshyable ideal synthesis
Both wr i t e r s met with failure in their quest but both wr i te r s produced p e n e t r a t i n g t r a v e l b o o k s about the many lands that thev visited
Spain by Nikos Kazantzakis is not a t r ave l book in the ordinary sense of the word The reader sees l i t t le of the peaceful Spanish counshyt rys ide and the everyday life of the people but lie feels the depths of a people s soul
Kazantzakis por t ra i t of Spain is tinted by a mytho-his tor ical colorshyful and visionary explosion of emoshytion and philosophy Out of this unique vision r ides the undying heart of Spanish life mdash Don Quixote
T h e world has emerged from Gods hands rife with injustice and shortcomings And he the Knight of the Ideal was duty-bound to set it right For Don Quixotes work begins where Gods leaves off
Don Quixote Spain like the idealistic hero
of La Mancha set out on an advenshyturous dream The Spanish conshyquistador desired to bring Chr i s -bulltianity and Spanish rule to the world
In 1588 the real i ty of the English navy punctured this Don Quixotesque d r e a m and like her hero Spain re turned to her homeland to await her las t joust with death
Kazantzakis c la ims that along with Ulysses Faust and Hamlet Don Quixote i s deeply rooted in the hea r t s of men F o r perhaps of all the p r inces Don Quixote most faithfully m i r r o r s the fate of m a n
Don Miguel Unamuno The modern represen ta t ive of Don
Quixote is Don Miguel Unamuno Like the idealist ic hero Unamunos thoughts and plans for action a r e hidden in the misty clouds of a d ream
Most thinkers claimed that twenshytieth century Spain should be E u r -opeanized o thers felt that she should remain within her own borders and tradit ion Unamuno attempted to heal the wounded heart o f Spain he des i red to Spanify Europe
We are Africans We a re not s a r c a s t i c wits and mathemat ic ians like the Europeans We a re not sc ien t i s t s We use the things d i s shycovered by them e lec t r ic i ty the rai lway the telephone etc
But our spir i t is different we a r e mystical and t ragic Our inshyability to adapt ourse lves to E u r shyopean c u l t u r e will give us the s trength to c rea te a new culture of our own
Despair In his last yea r s this defeated
Spaniard was also forced to re turn to his homeland his own inner being and await death
His only constant companion was despa i r In one of his last works S a i n t E m m a n u e l t h e G o o d M a r t y r
he tells the story of a Catholic p r ies t who at tempts to give the people a faith in winch lie himsel i cannot believe
During the Spanish Civil War Kazantzakis and Unamuno met in the Falanee stronghold of Salashymanca Unamuno poured forth his troubled soul to his Greek friend
Al l of these things a re happening because (he Spaniards dont believe in anythingNothingNothing They a r e desperados The Spanish people have gone mad Not only the Spanish people the whole world today What is our duty To hide the truth from the peopleif they knew the truth the) couldnt go on They wouldnt want to live am inure The people need myth illusion decepshyt ion
legend is Don Juan Kazantzakis por t rayal of Don Juan like that of Albert Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus p re sen t s a man who is not in quest of the Ideal Love
He loves each woman with the same passion and delight and he knows that his l o v e is mere ly momentary H e p o s s e s s e s he is not possessed mdash and that is his p o w e r
To Kazantzakis Don Juan r e p shyr e sen t s the Spir i t t h e wakeful wandering f l ame which leaps up and escapes the c lutches of woman mdash Matter
Don Juan and Don Quixote passion and ideal ism form the roots of the Spanish people and Kazantzakis a t shytempts to t rans la te his mythical vision of these people to the unshyfamiliar reader
His verbal p o r t r a i t s a r e often as colorful g ro tesque and symbol i shycally personal as the visual por shyt r a i t s of El Greco H e (El Greco) succeeded by his line and color in crys ta l l iz ing an e ternal phantom the indestruct ible despair ing soul of m a n
Kazantzakis a t tempts a s imi la r purpose At t imes he is quite suc shycessful
Many thanks to Mr Robert Bell manager of the CO-OP w h o g r a -ciously supplied this book for review purposes
Movie Review
Some evening probably in the very near future (if it hasn t already taken place) the usual emptiness of winter- t ime dorm field will give way to complete havoc the usually crowded study lounges will concede to the al l - important first snowfall
Provided of course that the snows good packing and that there is enough to pack this very common occurrence can offer one of the happiest t imes here at State The re s no formal organization no p ressure (except an occasional being dragged outside physishycally) to join in no nothin cept a heap of fun
P r e s s u r e s build up and suddenly it hits you right between the eyes and you dont care how childishly you act mdash so you pick up a snowball twice as big and hit back The grade-school excitement of building forts staging attacks and running desperately from the enemy is suddenly rekindled the crazy mixture of thrilled annoyance that comes with snow down your back re turns in all its glory
Maybe i t s the unaccustomed vacation from the way a n adult in college should act maybe i t s the obshyvious exhilaration of the frosty cold maybe i t s the secre t grin because he (or she) is aiming more snow your direction than anyone e l se s whatever your own special reason the dorm field fracas is thoroughly enjoyable
Dont forget sew your coat buttons on securely avoid long winding scarves and d ress warmly (the medical office has limited gallons of Cepacol) but for heavens sake join in One ofthese days there s going to be a real hum-dinger of a battle mdash I hope youll take advantage of it

The latest vogue in motion-picshyture cr i t ic ism is the so- ra i l ed au-teur theory Formulated in France it has now spread by way of Engshyland into the United States
It supposedly originated in the pages of the magazine Cahie rs du Cinema during the period in the filties when new-wave d i r e c t o r s such as Francois Truffaut were merely c r i t i c s
It is based on the idea that the best f i lm-makers a r e those (mainh Europeans) who both write and dishyrect their films and so retain a great deal ol control
P e r s o n a l S t a t e m e n t A picture b one of these men
whether good or not is still much more ol a personal statement than a 111 in by some Hollywood directoi who had been assigned an already finished scr ipt
Such w r i t e r - d i r e c t o r s like Bergshyman Fellini and Antonioni a r e essentially the authors ( au teurs ) ol their films
As the books ol an author can be analyzed together so the works id an au teur can be taken as showing the development in te l lectualh and technically ol their makei Hence the spiritual s e a r c h o f l n g m a r Bergshyman ai com epts

But this basically sound and fairly sensible theory lias been so twisted in its t ranslat ion into English that it can only be recognized as a de -lormity of the original
As presented by Andrew Sarri s among o the r s in such magazines as Film Culture the au teur theory lias been combined with the Euroshypeans high regard lor the American film noir
The French in par t i cu la r seem inordinately impressed by films that in this country a re considered unimshyportant These a r e c r ime and gangshys te r l i lms ho r ro r p ic tures wesshyte rns and that s u n ol thing
In truth many films of this sort a r e underrated m America and recognition of the cinematic and intelligent ta lents ul such suspense and action d i r ec to r s as Alfred Hitchshycock and Anthony Mann has long been overdue
It is only when this idea is comshybined Willi the au ie i i i theory that 11 lnMnines dangerous
Mi s i n t e r p r e t a t i o n
The au teu r c r i t i c s l ime in apshyplying this theory lo American fi lms succeeded in conipleteh mi s in t e r shypret ing it As a resul t cer ta in dishyr e c t o r s have been elevated to the s ta tus id Gods
Most id these are lailly talented within part n ular l imits Inn they do not w n t e 11 if I i own sc reen-p lays mid do not coni i ol their films Their p i n in i ai e nut pel son a I s ta tements ul au ibiug
But as Gods then can do no wrong anil a r e physically unable to make a poor film Ilitchock Howard Hawks and John Ford a r e at present on the pinnacle of this pantheon
You thought that except technishycally The Bi rds was a vacant and vacuous pic ture You didnt undershystand it the au teur cr i t ic rationshyal izes I t s not a poorly plotted monster movie i t s an allegory on the human cniidit ion
A II Fa i l ures All nun - an i en t s such as Carol
heed and John Huston (the d i s shytinction is completely a rb i t ra ry ) have never through their own skill made a good lilin
They may appear good hut this is an optical illusion caused by a good cast or some othei factor Kven the worst John Ford lilm (and there is a (duse liable for the title) is better than the e n atie Henry Kings The Guulightei or William VVelbuans The Ox-Bow Incident for Knr ami Wellmaii are not lushyt e i n s
The liual irony ol die situation is that this coi i upted theory has come lull c i rc le It lias now infected us mother country F rance with its super fan-magazine type ol cr i t i shycism This is the final irony in a generally ironic situation

Something new and different is coming to the S t a t e University Theatre Department Up to this time the student body has regarded the Theatre as the private property of those having previous experience or those solely involved in speech and dramatics
The purpose here is to give a peek at what goes on behind the scenes and on the stage and invite any and all who are interested to join us
Much Work Many hours of work go into one
University production But with the
work comes a feeling of pride and accomplishment in the knowledge that the job no matter how small was vitally important in creating the whole dramatic effect
Lighting props set construction and design costumes and makeup are just a few of the areas involved in putting together one good show Half the fun is watching these sepshyarate departments finally come toshygether the week of dress rehearsal when the director walks around with the kind of look on his face that makes you wonder if tiiis proshyduction will ever make it mdash and it does

Roz Ferrara one of the cast of USA is out f i t ted by Dennis Tu t t le costume head
Of course there isnt anything too romantic about all the technical work involved Its hard to get exshycited about hanging a light sweeping the stage painting a flat or hemming a skirt but there is definitely someshything exciting in knowing that all these jobs are going to make a production an audience will truly appreciate
Opening Night That story about opening night is
really true The smell of make-up the heat from the lights the crew members running around frantically and the cast people who always seem to get in the way give you a kind of thrill yuu just cant get anyplace else
Its electric and its infectious mdash and frustration that accompanies rehearsals seem to disappear when that curtain finally opens
When a production is over the lights are turned down Hie stage is bare and there are onlj a few props left in the wings perhaps an old telephone a cane or a crumpled hat Ihat an old lady wore in the second yet
Theres nothing left but an echo Uui the people who walked across the stage took home with them a pocket full of memories the laughs when the) couldnt find the right light switch the tears when a scene just wouldnt come and the unbelievshyably warm feeling when the audience rings with applause a world of make-believe with verj real reshywards

Directors Eye-View of USA9
Acquaints Students With Production by Dr James M L e o n a r d
USA the play by Paul Shy re and John Dos Passos chronicles that exciting period of American history from 1900 to 1930 That history is conveyed for the most part by a staccato recitation of newspaper headlines from the period The headline scenes are informative but also surprising and amusing and a re placed in striking relationships to the other scenes of the play
Piano music of the period is used to bridge the historical material and the segments of a more personal nature as well as to provide the background for the headlines In addition to an impersonal recitation of headlines to give the flavor of events of the period there are passages in the play which will
describe some of the most colorful pe r shysonalit ies of the t ime In brief segments the audience meets Rudolph Valentino a n d Isadora Duncan political figures Emma Goldman and Eugene Debs and the well-known mechanics Henry Ford and Orville and Wilbur Wright
The epic level of presentation described some al ternates with a personal level which concerns itself throughout the play with the life of J Ward Moo rehouse whose experiences embody Dos Passos r ecu r r ing theme of the corruption of the individual by commercial ism
F a l s e Va lues
Moo rehouse s life unfolds against the background of the turbulent and excessive e ra which stretched from theturn-of- the-century to the Great Depression when individuals and the nation were being swept along in a flurry of false values
The epic and the personal combine to produce an informative sa t i r ic ind nosshytalgic presentation The predominant tone of the play is one of irony The audience is made aware of the superficiality of most of the personal and national commitshyments shown in the play
There is also affection in the t reatshyment and one gets the feeding that the great enthusiasms of the era when they do not produce worthy results often leave their own gratuitous t ra i ls of glory
The production then will embrace tlie personal and the epic the sat ir ic and the nostalgic the bite and the warmth of the script The production should show too that at times beneath the chrome exter ior of a bland national enthusiasm lay hints of horror
C o m b i n a t i o n of Techn iques
All this is to be accomplished by enactshyment headlines narra t ions music scenic projections and dance Such a combinashytion of techniques is reminiscent of the Federal Thea t re s Living Newspaper and s imi lar to televisions That Was The Week That Was
These external techniques and the inner atti tudes then combine to form the p ro shyduction in which the auditory visual

T u r n of the Screw
and temporal elements which make up theatre have been organized into an exshypressive shape
During rehearsals t h i s expressive shape must be allowed to evolve from the creative freedom of those involved in production
The director however must shape the play even as he encourages freedom From this process emerges a style which hopefully is not a directorial imposition or the imposition of a part icular h is shytorical period or mode of staging or even the imposition of a part icular playshywright but the unique style of the play

The time has come to think of Christmas shopping for the Yuletide will be upon us quicker than you can say Jack Robinshyson (Have you ever wondered incidentally ubout the origin of this interesting phrase Quicker than you can say Jack Robinson Well sir the original saying was FrenchmdashPlus

(The reason people started saying Quicker than you can

English-speaking countries like England the US and Cleveshy
landmdashis quite an interesting little story It seems that Robesshy
pierres wife Georges Sand got word of the plot to murder
her husband in his bath All she had to do to save his life was
call his name and warn him Rut alas quicker than she could
say Jacques Robespierre she received a telegram from her old
friend Frederic Chopin who was down in Majorca setting lyrics
3lhk hi to Jo wtcjll tit time to his immortal Warsaw Concerto Chopin said he needed
Cleorges Sands help desperately because he could not fintl a
rhyme for Warsaw Naturally Georges could not refuse
such an urgent request
(Well sir off to Majorca went Georges but before she left
she told her little daughter Walter that some bad men were
coming to n urtler Daddy in his bath She instructed Walter
to shout Robespierres name the moment the bad men arrived
Rut Walter alas had been sea-bathing that morning on the
Riviera and she had come home with a big bug of salt water
taffy and when the bad men arrived to murder Robespierre
Walter alas was chewing a wad of taffy and could not get her
mouth unstuck in time to shout a warning Robespierre alas
was murdered quicker than you could say Jacques Robespierre
mdashor Jack Robinson as be is called in English-speaking countries
(There is I am pleased to report one small nob of cheer
in this grisly tale When Georges Sand got to Majorca she did
succeed in helping Chopin find a rhyme for Warsaw as everyshy

Fraternities and Sororities The Vital Hub of Stales

The five fraterni t ies which now exist a re the largest number in Sta te s history however the eight so ro r i t i e s represent only slightly more than half of the fifteen which in the ear ly 1930s offered group membersh ip to Albanys female popshyulation
Delta Omega was the first so r shyority being formed in 1890 It r e shymained the sole sorori ty until 1896 when it was then joined by Eta Phi

The soror i ty situation remained unchanged until 1913 when Gamma Kappa Phi appealed That year also marked the establ ishment of the first f ra terni ty Sigma Nu Kappa
In 1916 the Gamma Chapter of Kappa Delta Hho a national f ra te r shynity was brought to State (it was la ter to drop i ts national affiliations and become Alpha Pi Alpha) A third fraterni ty Kappa Nu was founded in 1918

If we a r e r ea l i s t i c we recognize the s t ratum of violence that lies all too (dose beneath the surface of our hard-won civilization We acknowledge il in our funny pape r s our entertainment our lawshylessness And our ha temongers feed it and a r e fed by it ami focus il lo their ugly purposes
We a re r ea l i s t i c but we a r e tempted always to forget our intellishygence and the way of reasonWe may for example vield to Ihe tantrums of chi ld ishness and howl that all the world is rotten and that wp want lo get off
Or we may il reason r e a s s e r t s itself remember thai violence deshyfeats its own ends more effectively than airtlung else can b rums and Cassius brought on Hie very dic ta torship ihey feared The double violence of Oswald s alleged deed and his death strengthen Ihe detershymination ol decent men to rees tabl ish the rule of law of o rder ol i eason
And most important as we asser t our common dedication to ordei and to reason we r emember the broadei idealism ol dip martyred Kennedy ihe convictions that moved him and that claimed our al legshyiance
In ihe Peace Corps we lotind expressed ihe obligation to serv ice ihe clear consequence ol the beliel dial all men ai e hi othet s
The Cuban confrontation showed that denim i e bull need not be vacilshylating and weak here we laced down author i ta r ian ism in honest anger with cool courage In the bomb lest ban John Kenned expressed for US all our fundamental peaceableness

Johnson Senate Record Indicates Liberal Civil Rights Outlook
by Joseph W Golu
The assass inat ion of President Kennedy leaves everyone at a loss for words with a feeling of utter he lp lessness
The w o r l d s greates t surgeon could do nothing ihe best speaker could not find words to express the feelings of an individual the nation or himself t h e world s s t ronges t man could do nothing to lend even an ounce of strength to the Pres ident as he lay dying
The impossibili ty of the task of express ing o n e s feelings in a limited space forbids my attempt to say that which I still feel The only profitable course is to face the present and future and conshys ider Lvndon Baines Johnson
Civil Rights Record
Those who wonder about civil r ights should remember that it was Johnson who was the leader of the Senate when all modern civil rights legislation was passed
It was Johnson who put the Senshyate on a 24-hour a day schedule thus defeating the Southern filishybuster Johnson the so-cal led conshyserva t ive was the man who pushed through the 1959 and 19(30 Senates the legislation which Ike vetoed as being too radical
I do not expect Johnson to present Congress with the type of legisshylation which Kennedy presented and which bogged Congress down to its present do little pace
Kennedys Far Reaching Programs I do not expect Johnson to come
up with the extremely far- reaching plans that Kennedy had the corps for peace the complete revision of our tax s t ruc tu re the complete revision of our tarill policy a ra ther complete program for South American and South-eastern Asian development
Kennedy in his two years and ten months presented (according to Richard Russe l I )more f a r - r each shying legislation than even FDR in the Hundred Days Kennedys p r o shyg rams were not hastily prepared or presented to a wildly enthusiastic Congress
Kennedys approach was almost entirely intellectual When dealing even with defense he calmlv quoted s ta t i s t ics ol we a re 600c more
capable to fight guer i l las etc
Approach Will Differ Johnsons approach will combine
the intel lectualism of Kennedy with a more ear thy more folksy more urbane style
He will not descent to the level of telling the American people what they want but I expect nation-wide television a d d r e s s e s on his pr ior i ty legislation
I also expect Johnson to deal with Congressional leaders in a manner more firm than that of Kennedy I feel su re that the Senshyate will be m o v i n g faster and will probably replace Mansfield as leader
In the House the leadership is on its last legs McCormack has his last chance right now If he does not make good he will p robshyably vield to someone new The current House underlings stand little chance of replacing McCormack
No Problem In general I feel that the people
who worry about Johnson s conser shyvatism are creat ing their own probshylem Johnson s tar ted in the House of Representat ives as a New Deal darl ing This hardly reflects conshyse rva t i sm
His opponents in pr imary e lecshytions in Texas have always painted Johnson as an ex t reme liberal
My only fear is that Johnsons att i tudes a re not urban We have gone back to a rura l President after our first truly urban P r e s i shydent in many yea r s
I feel that the Johnson record on civil r ights and in getting civil r ights legislation through the Senshyate is a irue indication of the man s att i tudes and potential

HAMMING IT UP
by Ron Hamilton
The contest slated for tomorrow night was to have proved a point made in this column a few weeks ago Unfortunately the Fates have fouled things up again New Pal tz s s tar center has withdrawn from school this semester It seems that dispite valiant attempts to keep this not too academically inclined lad in school he has backed out for a semes te r The odds now favor Albany
On the national basketball scene we a re going to place our heads on the block (not that they havent been there before) and pick NYU to finish no 1 in the country with Loyola of Chicago a close second Please save your comments until the end of the season
For study bugs that dont want to make the long tr ip VVSUA will be broadcasting the games We urge all students that cant attend the games in person to tune in the play by play account on VVSUA Rememshyber i t s your team
The cold weather heralds the possible appearance of the one the only Lake Minerva Yes friends that cancerous pond that we all love so well may appear overnight as if createdby a wonderful magician The new students a re in store for a marvelous treat If we all pray real hard the wondrous transformation may take place on Dorm Field
Could someone tell us how male cheer leaders a re going to inspire State fans to bigger and bet ter cheers We have nothing against males waving the pom poms but we fail to see any gain in refusing the gir ls admittance to the ranks of the rah rah squad We are certainly not an all male school as any State coed will tell you so le t s have EQUAL opportunity for all

CAGERS TO HOST NEW PALTZ TEAM NOTCHES WIN IN OPENER
The New Paltz Hawks invade the Washington Ave Armory tomorrow night to do battle with the Peds New Paltz has shown great improvement in recent years and is expected to be strong Last year the Hawks received outstanding play from Bob Dilman and Fred Sadler Dilman has graduated but Sadler was only a freshman Big Fred was the teams leading score r and rebounder Reports indicate that New Platz has picked up several t ransfers but they a re unconfirmed
Albany will be going with two veteran s t a r t e r s Dick Crosset t and Joe Loudis The shifty Crosset t gave the normal schoolers fits last year It will probably be his job to contain Sadler Both teams will have had one game behind them when they lock horns at the Armory The odds-makers are predicting a close tough game with the outcome depending on the foul-line
P e d s D e f e a t O n e o n t a
Rebounding strength and foul shooting proficiency made the big difference as Albany State ended up on the long side of a 70-49 route over Oneonta
Co-capiam Paul S h e e h a n and t ransfer Bol e h were he scoring l eaders hut the earn effort kept all the scoring een
Jim ODonovan was the t ig man off the hoards in the firs half ODonovan corra led a total of fourshyteen rebounds during he night Dan Zeh took oyer his role when Jim got into four trouble earl m the second half Jumping Dan swept the a n wa s for 10 rebounds
Hob Zeh as the big surpr i se for the Peds as he lumped in a night high of fourteen The overall bench strength drew comment from Coach Sauers He said I am pleasantly stunned by the elfort I received from all the guys
Slow Stort
The game started out slowly with the lead changing hands several t imes Dick Crosset t and Paul Shee-han were the early s c o r e r s Oneonta played a tight defense to keep Cros shysett from moving to the basket and succeeded until the rest of the t eam s scoring f o r c e d them to change
Crosse t t last yea r s second leadshying score r played less than a third ol the game as he had early foul u ouble
The hall nine score yvas ciose 10-21 in favoi of State Oneonta failed to take adaniage of then foul shots yvhile State seemingly couldnt miss The gap widened and with ten innines left to gt the Red Dragons began some er costly fouling State pulled awa The final i uzet s o u 11- i and Stare was twenty -bull ne poms i - t 70-49

Spain Explores Her Inner Soul The CIRTNECOGE
by Elizabeth Stroud
by J A Gomez
Nikos Kazantzakis SPAIN (New York 1963) Simon and Schuster 254 pages - $500
Like D H Lawrence Nikos Kazshyantzakis was a frenzied prophet who preached a Dionysian vision of life Like Lawrence he was a world t r ave le r who sought some unobtainshyable ideal synthesis
Both wr i t e r s met with failure in their quest but both wr i te r s produced p e n e t r a t i n g t r a v e l b o o k s about the many lands that thev visited
Spain by Nikos Kazantzakis is not a t r ave l book in the ordinary sense of the word The reader sees l i t t le of the peaceful Spanish counshyt rys ide and the everyday life of the people but lie feels the depths of a people s soul
Kazantzakis por t ra i t of Spain is tinted by a mytho-his tor ical colorshyful and visionary explosion of emoshytion and philosophy Out of this unique vision r ides the undying heart of Spanish life mdash Don Quixote
T h e world has emerged from Gods hands rife with injustice and shortcomings And he the Knight of the Ideal was duty-bound to set it right For Don Quixotes work begins where Gods leaves off
Don Quixote Spain like the idealistic hero
of La Mancha set out on an advenshyturous dream The Spanish conshyquistador desired to bring Chr i s -bulltianity and Spanish rule to the world
In 1588 the real i ty of the English navy punctured this Don Quixotesque d r e a m and like her hero Spain re turned to her homeland to await her las t joust with death
Kazantzakis c la ims that along with Ulysses Faust and Hamlet Don Quixote i s deeply rooted in the hea r t s of men F o r perhaps of all the p r inces Don Quixote most faithfully m i r r o r s the fate of m a n
Don Miguel Unamuno The modern represen ta t ive of Don
Quixote is Don Miguel Unamuno Like the idealist ic hero Unamunos thoughts and plans for action a r e hidden in the misty clouds of a d ream
Most thinkers claimed that twenshytieth century Spain should be E u r -opeanized o thers felt that she should remain within her own borders and tradit ion Unamuno attempted to heal the wounded heart o f Spain he des i red to Spanify Europe
We are Africans We a re not s a r c a s t i c wits and mathemat ic ians like the Europeans We a re not sc ien t i s t s We use the things d i s shycovered by them e lec t r ic i ty the rai lway the telephone etc
But our spir i t is different we a r e mystical and t ragic Our inshyability to adapt ourse lves to E u r shyopean c u l t u r e will give us the s trength to c rea te a new culture of our own
Despair In his last yea r s this defeated
Spaniard was also forced to re turn to his homeland his own inner being and await death
His only constant companion was despa i r In one of his last works S a i n t E m m a n u e l t h e G o o d M a r t y r
he tells the story of a Catholic p r ies t who at tempts to give the people a faith in winch lie himsel i cannot believe
During the Spanish Civil War Kazantzakis and Unamuno met in the Falanee stronghold of Salashymanca Unamuno poured forth his troubled soul to his Greek friend
Al l of these things a re happening because (he Spaniards dont believe in anythingNothingNothing They a r e desperados The Spanish people have gone mad Not only the Spanish people the whole world today What is our duty To hide the truth from the peopleif they knew the truth the) couldnt go on They wouldnt want to live am inure The people need myth illusion decepshyt ion
legend is Don Juan Kazantzakis por t rayal of Don Juan like that of Albert Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus p re sen t s a man who is not in quest of the Ideal Love
He loves each woman with the same passion and delight and he knows that his l o v e is mere ly momentary H e p o s s e s s e s he is not possessed mdash and that is his p o w e r
To Kazantzakis Don Juan r e p shyr e sen t s the Spir i t t h e wakeful wandering f l ame which leaps up and escapes the c lutches of woman mdash Matter
Don Juan and Don Quixote passion and ideal ism form the roots of the Spanish people and Kazantzakis a t shytempts to t rans la te his mythical vision of these people to the unshyfamiliar reader
His verbal p o r t r a i t s a r e often as colorful g ro tesque and symbol i shycally personal as the visual por shyt r a i t s of El Greco H e (El Greco) succeeded by his line and color in crys ta l l iz ing an e ternal phantom the indestruct ible despair ing soul of m a n
Kazantzakis a t tempts a s imi la r purpose At t imes he is quite suc shycessful

Movie Review
Some evening probably in the very near future (if it hasn t already taken place) the usual emptiness of winter- t ime dorm field will give way to complete havoc the usually crowded study lounges will concede to the al l - important first snowfall
Provided of course that the snows good packing and that there is enough to pack this very common occurrence can offer one of the happiest t imes here at State The re s no formal organization no p ressure (except an occasional being dragged outside physishycally) to join in no nothin cept a heap of fun
P r e s s u r e s build up and suddenly it hits you right between the eyes and you dont care how childishly you act mdash so you pick up a snowball twice as big and hit back The grade-school excitement of building forts staging attacks and running desperately from the enemy is suddenly rekindled the crazy mixture of thrilled annoyance that comes with snow down your back re turns in all its glory
Maybe i t s the unaccustomed vacation from the way a n adult in college should act maybe i t s the obshyvious exhilaration of the frosty cold maybe i t s the secre t grin because he (or she) is aiming more snow your direction than anyone e l se s whatever your own special reason the dorm field fracas is thoroughly enjoyable
Dont forget sew your coat buttons on securely avoid long winding scarves and d ress warmly (the medical office has limited gallons of Cepacol) but for heavens sake join in One ofthese days there s going to be a real hum-dinger of a battle mdash I hope youll take advantage of it

The latest vogue in motion-picshyture cr i t ic ism is the so- ra i l ed au-teur theory Formulated in France it has now spread by way of Engshyland into the United States
It supposedly originated in the pages of the magazine Cahie rs du Cinema during the period in the filties when new-wave d i r e c t o r s such as Francois Truffaut were merely c r i t i c s
It is based on the idea that the best f i lm-makers a r e those (mainh Europeans) who both write and dishyrect their films and so retain a great deal ol control
P e r s o n a l S t a t e m e n t A picture b one of these men
whether good or not is still much more ol a personal statement than a 111 in by some Hollywood directoi who had been assigned an already finished scr ipt
Such w r i t e r - d i r e c t o r s like Bergshyman Fellini and Antonioni a r e essentially the authors ( au teurs ) ol their films
As the books ol an author can be analyzed together so the works id an au teur can be taken as showing the development in te l lectualh and technically ol their makei Hence the spiritual s e a r c h o f l n g m a r Bergshyman ai com epts

But this basically sound and fairly sensible theory lias been so twisted in its t ranslat ion into English that it can only be recognized as a de -lormity of the original
As presented by Andrew Sarri s among o the r s in such magazines as Film Culture the au teur theory lias been combined with the Euroshypeans high regard lor the American film noir
The French in par t i cu la r seem inordinately impressed by films that in this country a re considered unimshyportant These a r e c r ime and gangshys te r l i lms ho r ro r p ic tures wesshyte rns and that s u n ol thing
In truth many films of this sort a r e underrated m America and recognition of the cinematic and intelligent ta lents ul such suspense and action d i r ec to r s as Alfred Hitchshycock and Anthony Mann has long been overdue
It is only when this idea is comshybined Willi the au ie i i i theory that 11 lnMnines dangerous
Mi s i n t e r p r e t a t i o n
The au teu r c r i t i c s l ime in apshyplying this theory lo American fi lms succeeded in conipleteh mi s in t e r shypret ing it As a resul t cer ta in dishyr e c t o r s have been elevated to the s ta tus id Gods
Most id these are lailly talented within part n ular l imits Inn they do not w n t e 11 if I i own sc reen-p lays mid do not coni i ol their films Their p i n in i ai e nut pel son a I s ta tements ul au ibiug
But as Gods then can do no wrong anil a r e physically unable to make a poor film Ilitchock Howard Hawks and John Ford a r e at present on the pinnacle of this pantheon
You thought that except technishycally The Bi rds was a vacant and vacuous pic ture You didnt undershystand it the au teur cr i t ic rationshyal izes I t s not a poorly plotted monster movie i t s an allegory on the human cniidit ion
A II Fa i l ures All nun - an i en t s such as Carol
heed and John Huston (the d i s shytinction is completely a rb i t ra ry ) have never through their own skill made a good lilin
They may appear good hut this is an optical illusion caused by a good cast or some othei factor Kven the worst John Ford lilm (and there is a (duse liable for the title) is better than the e n atie Henry Kings The Guulightei or William VVelbuans The Ox-Bow Incident for Knr ami Wellmaii are not lushyt e i n s
The liual irony ol die situation is that this coi i upted theory has come lull c i rc le It lias now infected us mother country F rance with its super fan-magazine type ol cr i t i shycism This is the final irony in a generally ironic situation

The time has come to think of Christmas shopping for the Yuletide will be upon us quicker than you can say Jack Robinshyson (Have you ever wondered incidentally ubout the origin of this interesting phrase Quicker than you can say Jack Robinson Well sir the original saying was FrenchmdashPlus
trite que de dire Jacques Robespierre Jack Robinson is as everyshyone knows an Anglicization of Jacques Robespierre who was
as everyone knows the famous figure from the French Revolushy
tion who as everyone knows got murdered in his bath by
Dunton Mura t Caligula and Al Capone
(The reason people started saying Quicker than you can
say Jacques Robespierre mdashor Jack Robinson as he is called in
English-speaking countries like England the US and Cleveshy
landmdashis quite an interesting little story It seems that Robesshy
pierres wife Georges Sand got word of the plot to murder
her husband in his bath All she had to do to save his life was
call his name and warn him Rut alas quicker than she could
say Jacques Robespierre she received a telegram from her old
friend Frederic Chopin who was down in Majorca setting lyrics
3lhk hi to Jo wtcjll tit time to his immortal Warsaw Concerto Chopin said he needed
Cleorges Sands help desperately because he could not fintl a
rhyme for Warsaw Naturally Georges could not refuse
such an urgent request
(Well sir off to Majorca went Georges but before she left
she told her little daughter Walter that some bad men were
coming to n urtler Daddy in his bath She instructed Walter
to shout Robespierres name the moment the bad men arrived
Rut Walter alas had been sea-bathing that morning on the
Riviera and she had come home with a big bug of salt water
taffy and when the bad men arrived to murder Robespierre
Walter alas was chewing a wad of taffy and could not get her
mouth unstuck in time to shout a warning Robespierre alas
was murdered quicker than you could say Jacques Robespierre
mdashor Jack Robinson as be is called in English-speaking countries
(There is I am pleased to report one small nob of cheer
in this grisly tale When Georges Sand got to Majorca she did
succeed in helping Chopin find a rhyme for Warsaw as everyshy
one knows who has heard those haunting lyrics

were two flags - of the country and of the Presidency reminders that the continuity of both extends beyond individuals We do not mourn (he man the l e s s if we r emember that any office mdash even this highest office mdash is g rea t e r than the man who holds it
Even though we know these things to be t rue we need to remind ourselves of our dedication to reason and to intelligence We do identify we do feel personal loss we do gr ieve and after grief comes anger and a revulsion against the senseTess savagery of blind butchery
And this emotion too finds personal express ion and we let violence beget violence as the accused ki l ler vet untried is in his turn killed We who a r e dedicated to the integrity and the Unprovability and the inviolability of the individual suffer this ult imate violation of individual integrity - the man whatever his guilt killed by a self-designated executioner while our peace officers guardians of the orderly p r o shycesses of law hold him
If we a r e r ea l i s t i c we recognize the s t ratum of violence that lies all too (dose beneath the surface of our hard-won civilization We acknowledge il in our funny pape r s our entertainment our lawshylessness And our ha temongers feed it and a r e fed by it ami focus il lo their ugly purposes
We a re r ea l i s t i c but we a r e tempted always to forget our intellishygence and the way of reasonWe may for example vield to Ihe tantrums of chi ld ishness and howl that all the world is rotten and that wp want lo get off
Or we may il reason r e a s s e r t s itself remember thai violence deshyfeats its own ends more effectively than airtlung else can b rums and Cassius brought on Hie very dic ta torship ihey feared The double violence of Oswald s alleged deed and his death strengthen Ihe detershymination ol decent men to rees tabl ish the rule of law of o rder ol i eason
And most important as we asser t our common dedication to ordei and to reason we r emember the broadei idealism ol dip martyred Kennedy ihe convictions that moved him and that claimed our al legshyiance
In ihe Peace Corps we lotind expressed ihe obligation to serv ice ihe clear consequence ol the beliel dial all men ai e hi othet s
The Cuban confrontation showed that denim i e bull need not be vacilshylating and weak here we laced down author i ta r ian ism in honest anger with cool courage In the bomb lest ban John Kenned expressed for US all our fundamental peaceableness

Johnson Senate Record Indicates Liberal Civil Rights Outlook
by Joseph W Golu
The assass inat ion of President Kennedy leaves everyone at a loss for words with a feeling of utter he lp lessness
The w o r l d s greates t surgeon could do nothing ihe best speaker could not find words to express the feelings of an individual the nation or himself t h e world s s t ronges t man could do nothing to lend even an ounce of strength to the Pres ident as he lay dying
The impossibili ty of the task of express ing o n e s feelings in a limited space forbids my attempt to say that which I still feel The only profitable course is to face the present and future and conshys ider Lvndon Baines Johnson
Civil Rights Record
Those who wonder about civil r ights should remember that it was Johnson who was the leader of the Senate when all modern civil rights legislation was passed
It was Johnson who put the Senshyate on a 24-hour a day schedule thus defeating the Southern filishybuster Johnson the so-cal led conshyserva t ive was the man who pushed through the 1959 and 19(30 Senates the legislation which Ike vetoed as being too radical
I do not expect Johnson to present Congress with the type of legisshylation which Kennedy presented and which bogged Congress down to its present do little pace
Kennedys Far Reaching Programs I do not expect Johnson to come
up with the extremely far- reaching plans that Kennedy had the corps for peace the complete revision of our tax s t ruc tu re the complete revision of our tarill policy a ra ther complete program for South American and South-eastern Asian development
Kennedy in his two years and ten months presented (according to Richard Russe l I )more f a r - r each shying legislation than even FDR in the Hundred Days Kennedys p r o shyg rams were not hastily prepared or presented to a wildly enthusiastic Congress
Kennedys approach was almost entirely intellectual When dealing even with defense he calmlv quoted s ta t i s t ics ol we a re 600c more
capable to fight guer i l las etc
Approach Will Differ Johnsons approach will combine
the intel lectualism of Kennedy with a more ear thy more folksy more urbane style
He will not descent to the level of telling the American people what they want but I expect nation-wide television a d d r e s s e s on his pr ior i ty legislation
I also expect Johnson to deal with Congressional leaders in a manner more firm than that of Kennedy I feel su re that the Senshyate will be m o v i n g faster and will probably replace Mansfield as leader
In the House the leadership is on its last legs McCormack has his last chance right now If he does not make good he will p robshyably vield to someone new The current House underlings stand little chance of replacing McCormack
No Problem In general I feel that the people
who worry about Johnson s conser shyvatism are creat ing their own probshylem Johnson s tar ted in the House of Representat ives as a New Deal darl ing This hardly reflects conshyse rva t i sm
His opponents in pr imary e lecshytions in Texas have always painted Johnson as an ex t reme liberal
My only fear is that Johnsons att i tudes a re not urban We have gone back to a rura l President after our first truly urban P r e s i shydent in many yea r s
I feel that the Johnson record on civil r ights and in getting civil r ights legislation through the Senshyate is a irue indication of the man s att i tudes and potential

HAMMING IT UP
by Ron Hamilton
The contest slated for tomorrow night was to have proved a point made in this column a few weeks ago Unfortunately the Fates have fouled things up again New Pal tz s s tar center has withdrawn from school this semester It seems that dispite valiant attempts to keep this not too academically inclined lad in school he has backed out for a semes te r The odds now favor Albany
On the national basketball scene we a re going to place our heads on the block (not that they havent been there before) and pick NYU to finish no 1 in the country with Loyola of Chicago a close second Please save your comments until the end of the season
For study bugs that dont want to make the long tr ip VVSUA will be broadcasting the games We urge all students that cant attend the games in person to tune in the play by play account on VVSUA Rememshyber i t s your team
The cold weather heralds the possible appearance of the one the only Lake Minerva Yes friends that cancerous pond that we all love so well may appear overnight as if createdby a wonderful magician The new students a re in store for a marvelous treat If we all pray real hard the wondrous transformation may take place on Dorm Field
Could someone tell us how male cheer leaders a re going to inspire State fans to bigger and bet ter cheers We have nothing against males waving the pom poms but we fail to see any gain in refusing the gir ls admittance to the ranks of the rah rah squad We are certainly not an all male school as any State coed will tell you so le t s have EQUAL opportunity for all

CAGERS TO HOST NEW PALTZ TEAM NOTCHES WIN IN OPENER
The New Paltz Hawks invade the Washington Ave Armory tomorrow night to do battle with the Peds New Paltz has shown great improvement in recent years and is expected to be strong Last year the Hawks received outstanding play from Bob Dilman and Fred Sadler Dilman has graduated but Sadler was only a freshman Big Fred was the teams leading score r and rebounder Reports indicate that New Platz has picked up several t ransfers but they a re unconfirmed
Albany will be going with two veteran s t a r t e r s Dick Crosset t and Joe Loudis The shifty Crosset t gave the normal schoolers fits last year It will probably be his job to contain Sadler Both teams will have had one game behind them when they lock horns at the Armory The odds-makers are predicting a close tough game with the outcome depending on the foul-line
P e d s D e f e a t O n e o n t a
Rebounding strength and foul shooting proficiency made the big difference as Albany State ended up on the long side of a 70-49 route over Oneonta
Co-capiam Paul S h e e h a n and t ransfer Bol e h were he scoring l eaders hut the earn effort kept all the scoring een
Jim ODonovan was the t ig man off the hoards in the firs half ODonovan corra led a total of fourshyteen rebounds during he night Dan Zeh took oyer his role when Jim got into four trouble earl m the second half Jumping Dan swept the a n wa s for 10 rebounds
Hob Zeh as the big surpr i se for the Peds as he lumped in a night high of fourteen The overall bench strength drew comment from Coach Sauers He said I am pleasantly stunned by the elfort I received from all the guys
Slow Stort
The game started out slowly with the lead changing hands several t imes Dick Crosset t and Paul Shee-han were the early s c o r e r s Oneonta played a tight defense to keep Cros shysett from moving to the basket and succeeded until the rest of the t eam s scoring f o r c e d them to change
Crosse t t last yea r s second leadshying score r played less than a third ol the game as he had early foul u ouble
The hall nine score yvas ciose 10-21 in favoi of State Oneonta failed to take adaniage of then foul shots yvhile State seemingly couldnt miss The gap widened and with ten innines left to gt the Red Dragons began some er costly fouling State pulled awa The final i uzet s o u 11- i and Stare was twenty -bull ne poms i - t 70-49

Spain Explores Her Inner Soul The CIRTNECOGE
by Elizabeth Stroud
by J A Gomez
Nikos Kazantzakis SPAIN (New York 1963) Simon and Schuster 254 pages - $500
Like D H Lawrence Nikos Kazshyantzakis was a frenzied prophet who preached a Dionysian vision of life Like Lawrence he was a world t r ave le r who sought some unobtainshyable ideal synthesis
Both wr i t e r s met with failure in their quest but both wr i te r s produced p e n e t r a t i n g t r a v e l b o o k s about the many lands that thev visited
Spain by Nikos Kazantzakis is not a t r ave l book in the ordinary sense of the word The reader sees l i t t le of the peaceful Spanish counshyt rys ide and the everyday life of the people but lie feels the depths of a people s soul
Kazantzakis por t ra i t of Spain is tinted by a mytho-his tor ical colorshyful and visionary explosion of emoshytion and philosophy Out of this unique vision r ides the undying heart of Spanish life mdash Don Quixote
T h e world has emerged from Gods hands rife with injustice and shortcomings And he the Knight of the Ideal was duty-bound to set it right For Don Quixotes work begins where Gods leaves off
Don Quixote Spain like the idealistic hero
of La Mancha set out on an advenshyturous dream The Spanish conshyquistador desired to bring Chr i s -bulltianity and Spanish rule to the world
In 1588 the real i ty of the English navy punctured this Don Quixotesque d r e a m and like her hero Spain re turned to her homeland to await her las t joust with death
Kazantzakis c la ims that along with Ulysses Faust and Hamlet Don Quixote i s deeply rooted in the hea r t s of men F o r perhaps of all the p r inces Don Quixote most faithfully m i r r o r s the fate of m a n
Don Miguel Unamuno The modern represen ta t ive of Don
Quixote is Don Miguel Unamuno Like the idealist ic hero Unamunos thoughts and plans for action a r e hidden in the misty clouds of a d ream
Most thinkers claimed that twenshytieth century Spain should be E u r -opeanized o thers felt that she should remain within her own borders and tradit ion Unamuno attempted to heal the wounded heart o f Spain he des i red to Spanify Europe
We are Africans We a re not s a r c a s t i c wits and mathemat ic ians like the Europeans We a re not sc ien t i s t s We use the things d i s shycovered by them e lec t r ic i ty the rai lway the telephone etc
But our spir i t is different we a r e mystical and t ragic Our inshyability to adapt ourse lves to E u r shyopean c u l t u r e will give us the s trength to c rea te a new culture of our own
Despair In his last yea r s this defeated
Spaniard was also forced to re turn to his homeland his own inner being and await death
His only constant companion was despa i r In one of his last works S a i n t E m m a n u e l t h e G o o d M a r t y r
he tells the story of a Catholic p r ies t who at tempts to give the people a faith in winch lie himsel i cannot believe
During the Spanish Civil War Kazantzakis and Unamuno met in the Falanee stronghold of Salashymanca Unamuno poured forth his troubled soul to his Greek friend
Al l of these things a re happening because (he Spaniards dont believe in anythingNothingNothing They a r e desperados The Spanish people have gone mad Not only the Spanish people the whole world today What is our duty To hide the truth from the peopleif they knew the truth the) couldnt go on They wouldnt want to live am inure The people need myth illusion decepshyt ion
legend is Don Juan Kazantzakis por t rayal of Don Juan like that of Albert Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus p re sen t s a man who is not in quest of the Ideal Love
He loves each woman with the same passion and delight and he knows that his l o v e is mere ly momentary H e p o s s e s s e s he is not possessed mdash and that is his p o w e r
To Kazantzakis Don Juan r e p shyr e sen t s the Spir i t t h e wakeful wandering f l ame which leaps up and escapes the c lutches of woman mdash Matter
Don Juan and Don Quixote passion and ideal ism form the roots of the Spanish people and Kazantzakis a t shytempts to t rans la te his mythical vision of these people to the unshyfamiliar reader
His verbal p o r t r a i t s a r e often as colorful g ro tesque and symbol i shycally personal as the visual por shyt r a i t s of El Greco H e (El Greco) succeeded by his line and color in crys ta l l iz ing an e ternal phantom the indestruct ible despair ing soul of m a n
Kazantzakis a t tempts a s imi la r purpose At t imes he is quite suc shycessful

Movie Review
Some evening probably in the very near future (if it hasn t already taken place) the usual emptiness of winter- t ime dorm field will give way to complete havoc the usually crowded study lounges will concede to the al l - important first snowfall
Provided of course that the snows good packing and that there is enough to pack this very common occurrence can offer one of the happiest t imes here at State The re s no formal organization no p ressure (except an occasional being dragged outside physishycally) to join in no nothin cept a heap of fun
P r e s s u r e s build up and suddenly it hits you right between the eyes and you dont care how childishly you act mdash so you pick up a snowball twice as big and hit back The grade-school excitement of building forts staging attacks and running desperately from the enemy is suddenly rekindled the crazy mixture of thrilled annoyance that comes with snow down your back re turns in all its glory
Maybe i t s the unaccustomed vacation from the way a n adult in college should act maybe i t s the obshyvious exhilaration of the frosty cold maybe i t s the secre t grin because he (or she) is aiming more snow your direction than anyone e l se s whatever your own special reason the dorm field fracas is thoroughly enjoyable
Dont forget sew your coat buttons on securely avoid long winding scarves and d ress warmly (the medical office has limited gallons of Cepacol) but for heavens sake join in One ofthese days there s going to be a real hum-dinger of a battle mdash I hope youll take advantage of it

The latest vogue in motion-picshyture cr i t ic ism is the so- ra i l ed au-teur theory Formulated in France it has now spread by way of Engshyland into the United States
It supposedly originated in the pages of the magazine Cahie rs du Cinema during the period in the filties when new-wave d i r e c t o r s such as Francois Truffaut were merely c r i t i c s
It is based on the idea that the best f i lm-makers a r e those (mainh Europeans) who both write and dishyrect their films and so retain a great deal ol control
P e r s o n a l S t a t e m e n t A picture b one of these men
whether good or not is still much more ol a personal statement than a 111 in by some Hollywood directoi who had been assigned an already finished scr ipt
Such w r i t e r - d i r e c t o r s like Bergshyman Fellini and Antonioni a r e essentially the authors ( au teurs ) ol their films
As the books ol an author can be analyzed together so the works id an au teur can be taken as showing the development in te l lectualh and technically ol their makei Hence the spiritual s e a r c h o f l n g m a r Bergshyman ai com epts

But this basically sound and fairly sensible theory lias been so twisted in its t ranslat ion into English that it can only be recognized as a de -lormity of the original
As presented by Andrew Sarri s among o the r s in such magazines as Film Culture the au teur theory lias been combined with the Euroshypeans high regard lor the American film noir
The French in par t i cu la r seem inordinately impressed by films that in this country a re considered unimshyportant These a r e c r ime and gangshys te r l i lms ho r ro r p ic tures wesshyte rns and that s u n ol thing
In truth many films of this sort a r e underrated m America and recognition of the cinematic and intelligent ta lents ul such suspense and action d i r ec to r s as Alfred Hitchshycock and Anthony Mann has long been overdue
It is only when this idea is comshybined Willi the au ie i i i theory that 11 lnMnines dangerous
Mi s i n t e r p r e t a t i o n
The au teu r c r i t i c s l ime in apshyplying this theory lo American fi lms succeeded in conipleteh mi s in t e r shypret ing it As a resul t cer ta in dishyr e c t o r s have been elevated to the s ta tus id Gods
Most id these are lailly talented within part n ular l imits Inn they do not w n t e 11 if I i own sc reen-p lays mid do not coni i ol their films Their p i n in i ai e nut pel son a I s ta tements ul au ibiug
But as Gods then can do no wrong anil a r e physically unable to make a poor film Ilitchock Howard Hawks and John Ford a r e at present on the pinnacle of this pantheon
You thought that except technishycally The Bi rds was a vacant and vacuous pic ture You didnt undershystand it the au teur cr i t ic rationshyal izes I t s not a poorly plotted monster movie i t s an allegory on the human cniidit ion
A II Fa i l ures All nun - an i en t s such as Carol
heed and John Huston (the d i s shytinction is completely a rb i t ra ry ) have never through their own skill made a good lilin
They may appear good hut this is an optical illusion caused by a good cast or some othei factor Kven the worst John Ford lilm (and there is a (duse liable for the title) is better than the e n atie Henry Kings The Guulightei or William VVelbuans The Ox-Bow Incident for Knr ami Wellmaii are not lushyt e i n s
The liual irony ol die situation is that this coi i upted theory has come lull c i rc le It lias now infected us mother country F rance with its super fan-magazine type ol cr i t i shycism This is the final irony in a generally ironic situation

HAMMING IT UP
by Ron Hamilton
The contest slated for tomorrow night was to have proved a point made in this column a few weeks ago Unfortunately the Fates have fouled things up again New Pal tz s s tar center has withdrawn from school this semester It seems that dispite valiant attempts to keep this not too academically inclined lad in school he has backed out for a semes te r The odds now favor Albany
On the national basketball scene we a re going to place our heads on the block (not that they havent been there before) and pick NYU to finish no 1 in the country with Loyola of Chicago a close second Please save your comments until the end of the season
For study bugs that dont want to make the long tr ip VVSUA will be broadcasting the games We urge all students that cant attend the games in person to tune in the play by play account on VVSUA Rememshyber i t s your team
The cold weather heralds the possible appearance of the one the only Lake Minerva Yes friends that cancerous pond that we all love so well may appear overnight as if createdby a wonderful magician The new students a re in store for a marvelous treat If we all pray real hard the wondrous transformation may take place on Dorm Field
Could someone tell us how male cheer leaders a re going to inspire State fans to bigger and bet ter cheers We have nothing against males waving the pom poms but we fail to see any gain in refusing the gir ls admittance to the ranks of the rah rah squad We are certainly not an all male school as any State coed will tell you so le t s have EQUAL opportunity for all

CAGERS TO HOST NEW PALTZ TEAM NOTCHES WIN IN OPENER
The New Paltz Hawks invade the Washington Ave Armory tomorrow night to do battle with the Peds New Paltz has shown great improvement in recent years and is expected to be strong Last year the Hawks received outstanding play from Bob Dilman and Fred Sadler Dilman has graduated but Sadler was only a freshman Big Fred was the teams leading score r and rebounder Reports indicate that New Platz has picked up several t ransfers but they a re unconfirmed
Albany will be going with two veteran s t a r t e r s Dick Crosset t and Joe Loudis The shifty Crosset t gave the normal schoolers fits last year It will probably be his job to contain Sadler Both teams will have had one game behind them when they lock horns at the Armory The odds-makers are predicting a close tough game with the outcome depending on the foul-line
P e d s D e f e a t O n e o n t a
Rebounding strength and foul shooting proficiency made the big difference as Albany State ended up on the long side of a 70-49 route over Oneonta
Co-capiam Paul S h e e h a n and t ransfer Bol e h were he scoring l eaders hut the earn effort kept all the scoring een
Jim ODonovan was the t ig man off the hoards in the firs half ODonovan corra led a total of fourshyteen rebounds during he night Dan Zeh took oyer his role when Jim got into four trouble earl m the second half Jumping Dan swept the a n wa s for 10 rebounds
Hob Zeh as the big surpr i se for the Peds as he lumped in a night high of fourteen The overall bench strength drew comment from Coach Sauers He said I am pleasantly stunned by the elfort I received from all the guys

Spain Explores Her Inner Soul The CIRTNECOGE
by Elizabeth Stroud
by J A Gomez
Nikos Kazantzakis SPAIN (New York 1963) Simon and Schuster 254 pages - $500
Like D H Lawrence Nikos Kazshyantzakis was a frenzied prophet who preached a Dionysian vision of life Like Lawrence he was a world t r ave le r who sought some unobtainshyable ideal synthesis
Both wr i t e r s met with failure in their quest but both wr i te r s produced p e n e t r a t i n g t r a v e l b o o k s about the many lands that thev visited
Spain by Nikos Kazantzakis is not a t r ave l book in the ordinary sense of the word The reader sees l i t t le of the peaceful Spanish counshyt rys ide and the everyday life of the people but lie feels the depths of a people s soul
Kazantzakis por t ra i t of Spain is tinted by a mytho-his tor ical colorshyful and visionary explosion of emoshytion and philosophy Out of this unique vision r ides the undying heart of Spanish life mdash Don Quixote
T h e world has emerged from Gods hands rife with injustice and shortcomings And he the Knight of the Ideal was duty-bound to set it right For Don Quixotes work begins where Gods leaves off
Don Quixote Spain like the idealistic hero
of La Mancha set out on an advenshyturous dream The Spanish conshyquistador desired to bring Chr i s -bulltianity and Spanish rule to the world
In 1588 the real i ty of the English navy punctured this Don Quixotesque d r e a m and like her hero Spain re turned to her homeland to await her las t joust with death
Kazantzakis c la ims that along with Ulysses Faust and Hamlet Don Quixote i s deeply rooted in the hea r t s of men F o r perhaps of all the p r inces Don Quixote most faithfully m i r r o r s the fate of m a n
Don Miguel Unamuno The modern represen ta t ive of Don
Quixote is Don Miguel Unamuno Like the idealist ic hero Unamunos thoughts and plans for action a r e hidden in the misty clouds of a d ream
Most thinkers claimed that twenshytieth century Spain should be E u r -opeanized o thers felt that she should remain within her own borders and tradit ion Unamuno attempted to heal the wounded heart o f Spain he des i red to Spanify Europe
We are Africans We a re not s a r c a s t i c wits and mathemat ic ians like the Europeans We a re not sc ien t i s t s We use the things d i s shycovered by them e lec t r ic i ty the rai lway the telephone etc
But our spir i t is different we a r e mystical and t ragic Our inshyability to adapt ourse lves to E u r shyopean c u l t u r e will give us the s trength to c rea te a new culture of our own
Despair In his last yea r s this defeated
Spaniard was also forced to re turn to his homeland his own inner being and await death
His only constant companion was despa i r In one of his last works S a i n t E m m a n u e l t h e G o o d M a r t y r
he tells the story of a Catholic p r ies t who at tempts to give the people a faith in winch lie himsel i cannot believe
During the Spanish Civil War Kazantzakis and Unamuno met in the Falanee stronghold of Salashymanca Unamuno poured forth his troubled soul to his Greek friend
Al l of these things a re happening because (he Spaniards dont believe in anythingNothingNothing They a r e desperados The Spanish people have gone mad Not only the Spanish people the whole world today What is our duty To hide the truth from the peopleif they knew the truth the) couldnt go on They wouldnt want to live am inure The people need myth illusion decepshyt ion
legend is Don Juan Kazantzakis por t rayal of Don Juan like that of Albert Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus p re sen t s a man who is not in quest of the Ideal Love
He loves each woman with the same passion and delight and he knows that his l o v e is mere ly momentary H e p o s s e s s e s he is not possessed mdash and that is his p o w e r
To Kazantzakis Don Juan r e p shyr e sen t s the Spir i t t h e wakeful wandering f l ame which leaps up and escapes the c lutches of woman mdash Matter
Don Juan and Don Quixote passion and ideal ism form the roots of the Spanish people and Kazantzakis a t shytempts to t rans la te his mythical vision of these people to the unshyfamiliar reader
His verbal p o r t r a i t s a r e often as colorful g ro tesque and symbol i shycally personal as the visual por shyt r a i t s of El Greco H e (El Greco) succeeded by his line and color in crys ta l l iz ing an e ternal phantom the indestruct ible despair ing soul of m a n
Kazantzakis a t tempts a s imi la r purpose At t imes he is quite suc shycessful
Many thanks to Mr Robert Bell manager of the CO-OP w h o g r a -ciously supplied this book for review purposes
Movie Review
Some evening probably in the very near future (if it hasn t already taken place) the usual emptiness of winter- t ime dorm field will give way to complete havoc the usually crowded study lounges will concede to the al l - important first snowfall
Provided of course that the snows good packing and that there is enough to pack this very common occurrence can offer one of the happiest t imes here at State The re s no formal organization no p ressure (except an occasional being dragged outside physishycally) to join in no nothin cept a heap of fun
P r e s s u r e s build up and suddenly it hits you right between the eyes and you dont care how childishly you act mdash so you pick up a snowball twice as big and hit back The grade-school excitement of building forts staging attacks and running desperately from the enemy is suddenly rekindled the crazy mixture of thrilled annoyance that comes with snow down your back re turns in all its glory
Maybe i t s the unaccustomed vacation from the way a n adult in college should act maybe i t s the obshyvious exhilaration of the frosty cold maybe i t s the secre t grin because he (or she) is aiming more snow your direction than anyone e l se s whatever your own special reason the dorm field fracas is thoroughly enjoyable
Dont forget sew your coat buttons on securely avoid long winding scarves and d ress warmly (the medical office has limited gallons of Cepacol) but for heavens sake join in One ofthese days there s going to be a real hum-dinger of a battle mdash I hope youll take advantage of it

The latest vogue in motion-picshyture cr i t ic ism is the so- ra i l ed au-teur theory Formulated in France it has now spread by way of Engshyland into the United States
It supposedly originated in the pages of the magazine Cahie rs du Cinema during the period in the filties when new-wave d i r e c t o r s such as Francois Truffaut were merely c r i t i c s
It is based on the idea that the best f i lm-makers a r e those (mainh Europeans) who both write and dishyrect their films and so retain a great deal ol control
P e r s o n a l S t a t e m e n t A picture b one of these men
whether good or not is still much more ol a personal statement than a 111 in by some Hollywood directoi who had been assigned an already finished scr ipt
Such w r i t e r - d i r e c t o r s like Bergshyman Fellini and Antonioni a r e essentially the authors ( au teurs ) ol their films
As the books ol an author can be analyzed together so the works id an au teur can be taken as showing the development in te l lectualh and technically ol their makei Hence the spiritual s e a r c h o f l n g m a r Bergshyman ai com epts

But this basically sound and fairly sensible theory lias been so twisted in its t ranslat ion into English that it can only be recognized as a de -lormity of the original
As presented by Andrew Sarri s among o the r s in such magazines as Film Culture the au teur theory lias been combined with the Euroshypeans high regard lor the American film noir
The French in par t i cu la r seem inordinately impressed by films that in this country a re considered unimshyportant These a r e c r ime and gangshys te r l i lms ho r ro r p ic tures wesshyte rns and that s u n ol thing
In truth many films of this sort a r e underrated m America and recognition of the cinematic and intelligent ta lents ul such suspense and action d i r ec to r s as Alfred Hitchshycock and Anthony Mann has long been overdue
It is only when this idea is comshybined Willi the au ie i i i theory that 11 lnMnines dangerous
Mi s i n t e r p r e t a t i o n
The au teu r c r i t i c s l ime in apshyplying this theory lo American fi lms succeeded in conipleteh mi s in t e r shypret ing it As a resul t cer ta in dishyr e c t o r s have been elevated to the s ta tus id Gods
Most id these are lailly talented within part n ular l imits Inn they do not w n t e 11 if I i own sc reen-p lays mid do not coni i ol their films Their p i n in i ai e nut pel son a I s ta tements ul au ibiug
But as Gods then can do no wrong anil a r e physically unable to make a poor film Ilitchock Howard Hawks and John Ford a r e at present on the pinnacle of this pantheon
You thought that except technishycally The Bi rds was a vacant and vacuous pic ture You didnt undershystand it the au teur cr i t ic rationshyal izes I t s not a poorly plotted monster movie i t s an allegory on the human cniidit ion
A II Fa i l ures All nun - an i en t s such as Carol
heed and John Huston (the d i s shytinction is completely a rb i t ra ry ) have never through their own skill made a good lilin
They may appear good hut this is an optical illusion caused by a good cast or some othei factor Kven the worst John Ford lilm (and there is a (duse liable for the title) is better than the e n atie Henry Kings The Guulightei or William VVelbuans The Ox-Bow Incident for Knr ami Wellmaii are not lushyt e i n s
The liual irony ol die situation is that this coi i upted theory has come lull c i rc le It lias now infected us mother country F rance with its super fan-magazine type ol cr i t i shycism This is the final irony in a generally ironic situation

But our spir i t is different we a r e mystical and t ragic Our inshyability to adapt ourse lves to E u r shyopean c u l t u r e will give us the s trength to c rea te a new culture of our own

he tells the story of a Catholic p r ies t who at tempts to give the people a faith in winch lie himsel i cannot believe
During the Spanish Civil War Kazantzakis and Unamuno met in the Falanee stronghold of Salashymanca Unamuno poured forth his troubled soul to his Greek friend
Al l of these things a re happening because (he Spaniards dont believe in anythingNothingNothing They a r e desperados The Spanish people have gone mad Not only the Spanish people the whole world today What is our duty To hide the truth from the peopleif they knew the truth the) couldnt go on They wouldnt want to live am inure The people need myth illusion decepshyt ion
legend is Don Juan Kazantzakis por t rayal of Don Juan like that of Albert Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus p re sen t s a man who is not in quest of the Ideal Love
He loves each woman with the same passion and delight and he knows that his l o v e is mere ly momentary H e p o s s e s s e s he is not possessed mdash and that is his p o w e r
To Kazantzakis Don Juan r e p shyr e sen t s the Spir i t t h e wakeful wandering f l ame which leaps up and escapes the c lutches of woman mdash Matter
Don Juan and Don Quixote passion and ideal ism form the roots of the Spanish people and Kazantzakis a t shytempts to t rans la te his mythical vision of these people to the unshyfamiliar reader
His verbal p o r t r a i t s a r e often as colorful g ro tesque and symbol i shycally personal as the visual por shyt r a i t s of El Greco H e (El Greco) succeeded by his line and color in crys ta l l iz ing an e ternal phantom the indestruct ible despair ing soul of m a n

Movie Review
Some evening probably in the very near future (if it hasn t already taken place) the usual emptiness of winter- t ime dorm field will give way to complete havoc the usually crowded study lounges will concede to the al l - important first snowfall
Provided of course that the snows good packing and that there is enough to pack this very common occurrence can offer one of the happiest t imes here at State The re s no formal organization no p ressure (except an occasional being dragged outside physishycally) to join in no nothin cept a heap of fun
P r e s s u r e s build up and suddenly it hits you right between the eyes and you dont care how childishly you act mdash so you pick up a snowball twice as big and hit back The grade-school excitement of building forts staging attacks and running desperately from the enemy is suddenly rekindled the crazy mixture of thrilled annoyance that comes with snow down your back re turns in all its glory
Maybe i t s the unaccustomed vacation from the way a n adult in college should act maybe i t s the obshyvious exhilaration of the frosty cold maybe i t s the secre t grin because he (or she) is aiming more snow your direction than anyone e l se s whatever your own special reason the dorm field fracas is thoroughly enjoyable
Dont forget sew your coat buttons on securely avoid long winding scarves and d ress warmly (the medical office has limited gallons of Cepacol) but for heavens sake join in One ofthese days there s going to be a real hum-dinger of a battle mdash I hope youll take advantage of it

The latest vogue in motion-picshyture cr i t ic ism is the so- ra i l ed au-teur theory Formulated in France it has now spread by way of Engshyland into the United States
It supposedly originated in the pages of the magazine Cahie rs du Cinema during the period in the filties when new-wave d i r e c t o r s such as Francois Truffaut were merely c r i t i c s
It is based on the idea that the best f i lm-makers a r e those (mainh Europeans) who both write and dishyrect their films and so retain a great deal ol control
P e r s o n a l S t a t e m e n t A picture b one of these men
whether good or not is still much more ol a personal statement than a 111 in by some Hollywood directoi who had been assigned an already finished scr ipt
Such w r i t e r - d i r e c t o r s like Bergshyman Fellini and Antonioni a r e essentially the authors ( au teurs ) ol their films
As the books ol an author can be analyzed together so the works id an au teur can be taken as showing the development in te l lectualh and technically ol their makei Hence the spiritual s e a r c h o f l n g m a r Bergshyman ai com epts

But this basically sound and fairly sensible theory lias been so twisted in its t ranslat ion into English that it can only be recognized as a de -lormity of the original
As presented by Andrew Sarri s among o the r s in such magazines as Film Culture the au teur theory lias been combined with the Euroshypeans high regard lor the American film noir
The French in par t i cu la r seem inordinately impressed by films that in this country a re considered unimshyportant These a r e c r ime and gangshys te r l i lms ho r ro r p ic tures wesshyte rns and that s u n ol thing
In truth many films of this sort a r e underrated m America and recognition of the cinematic and intelligent ta lents ul such suspense and action d i r ec to r s as Alfred Hitchshycock and Anthony Mann has long been overdue
It is only when this idea is comshybined Willi the au ie i i i theory that 11 lnMnines dangerous
Mi s i n t e r p r e t a t i o n
The au teu r c r i t i c s l ime in apshyplying this theory lo American fi lms succeeded in conipleteh mi s in t e r shypret ing it As a resul t cer ta in dishyr e c t o r s have been elevated to the s ta tus id Gods
Most id these are lailly talented within part n ular l imits Inn they do not w n t e 11 if I i own sc reen-p lays mid do not coni i ol their films Their p i n in i ai e nut pel son a I s ta tements ul au ibiug
But as Gods then can do no wrong anil a r e physically unable to make a poor film Ilitchock Howard Hawks and John Ford a r e at present on the pinnacle of this pantheon
You thought that except technishycally The Bi rds was a vacant and vacuous pic ture You didnt undershystand it the au teur cr i t ic rationshyal izes I t s not a poorly plotted monster movie i t s an allegory on the human cniidit ion
A II Fa i l ures All nun - an i en t s such as Carol
heed and John Huston (the d i s shytinction is completely a rb i t ra ry ) have never through their own skill made a good lilin
They may appear good hut this is an optical illusion caused by a good cast or some othei factor Kven the worst John Ford lilm (and there is a (duse liable for the title) is better than the e n atie Henry Kings The Guulightei or William VVelbuans The Ox-Bow Incident for Knr ami Wellmaii are not lushyt e i n s
The liual irony ol die situation is that this coi i upted theory has come lull c i rc le It lias now infected us mother country F rance with its super fan-magazine type ol cr i t i shycism This is the final irony in a generally ironic situation
