A RayView of Sports
by Ray McCtot
week's ASP.there appeared a story reporting
the ASP as having once again achieved a first class
rating as a collegiate newspaper.. One of the categories
which earned an ^excellent*' rating and helped the ASP
reach ;this high rating1 was sports writing. We, of the
sports staff, areproud of this accomplishment.
And so it' is- with great regret that we make the following announcement: beginning next week, the sports
section will 6ni#, appear 1st the Friday issue of the ASP.
The reason .foif this development is painfully obvious.
When I say '•wlsof the spbris staff,»'• I am referring to
my associate spprtseditor.DonOppedisano, and myself.
Not really a staff, is it?
We have found it increasingly burdensome to try and
adequately cover State sports with semi-weekly regularity. And now that the winter sports season is nearly
over, a long lull occurs until the spring season gets
underway. Also, with the threat of rain-outs omnipresent in the springtime, coming out with a Tuesday
issue as well as a Friday one wouJdbe most distasteful
and highly precarious.
And so we say a not-so-fond adieu to Tuesday's
sports page with one final request: will those of you
who have thought of writing sports for the ASP please
direct your thoughts toward more academic pursuits.
After all, that^s what we're here for, isn't it?
In Wednesday afternoon's wrestling match with RPI,
Coach Joe Garcia's wrestling team showed what it was
made of — pure hustle and desire. We watched in awe
as talented Warren Crow exhibited his enormous skills
in easily pinning his 130 pound foe in a minute and a
half,. Here is one wrestler really worth giving up a
weekday afternoon to watch perform.
We saw Mike Poplaski dominate his 137 pound match,
finishing it with an injured eye. Randy Palmer really
had his work cut out for him as he squeaked out a 2-0
Win in a very evenly matched contest. And there was
Mike Goldych, wrestling a class above his own weight
and grappling with a fine RPI wrestler, valiantly stave
off. being pinned, realizing that such an occurrence
would mean defeat for the Danes.
... Art Recqsso looked very impressive in scoring a pin
at 4:29. Art has been a steady performer for the team
all year, and we saw why Wednesday. Finally there was
Dick Szymanski, all 177 pounds of him, fighting off a
mountain of an RPI man, 250 pounds of muscle, in the
heavyweight division to earn State a tie in the match.

w?l Situation in Waterbury
•
fWW
There are times when we believe ttiat progress is
actually being made on this campua. Ihttese times
we can point to changes in hours and the beginnings of
student representation oh various administrative and
policy making committees. Now we are again faced
with a situation which" reminds of all the most negative
aspects of administration.
The case we refer to is in Waterbury Hall. Some
student misbehaved sufficiently badly enough to destroy
the usefulness of a water fountain. The entire residence
hall is deprived of the fountain. A sign was placed on
the wall where the fountain had been saying that the
fountain would not bereplaced.
The case is one of punishing everyone for the error
of one. This is a direct contradiction of elementary
precepts of social psychology.
Waterbury has been a sad situation for years.. Directors have never stayed even three years. Only one
lasted two years. The hall has always been the most
overcrowded of the dorms. Now with the teeming
population of cockroaches in the kitchen, the students
are all being punished for the action, of one student.

two definitions of "camp." "Camp"
is a third stream of taste, entirely
apart from good or bad taste. (Partisan Review).
"Camp" is anything pleasantly
ostentatious (Eric Partridge). Batman is definitely not high camp.
High camp can only be applied to
those things which were not meant
to be camp such as Virginia Woolf's
"Orlando" or Marlene Dietrich as
in "The Devil is a Woman."
Batman is intentional camp that

Miss Barbra Streisand became a
sensation, partly due to her intentional camp actions, likewise Batman is a success.
(I imply no similarity between
Batman and the "Funny Girl' 1 )
Granted Batman is not serious.
But how can anyone say that the
Dynamic Duo offers no comedy.
It's just about the funniest show
in years.

others who tune ln the same Battime and the same Bat station, is

by next week to avoid seeking outside help to meet the quota.
Of the approximately 100 commitments so far, only four a r e
faculty members. All blood given
will be used by the Defense Department, either ln Vietnam or other
areas needing supply.
Members of the University community are urged to^apply for appointments soon so that scheduling
for the 400 needed can be completed.

Registration Is to be completed

their parents. Details and applications are available from Mormile,
The fraternity is sponsoring the
blood drive to show their concern
for the fact that soldiers are dying
in Vietnam. The program is one
means through which such concern
can be expressed.
If any principle is involved, the
brothers feel, it Is not one of endorsement or disapproval of the
Ideology involved, but It Is centered
upon the fact that United States men
are dying.

aa the whole situation seemed like
a "very unmerry birthday."
In addition, the uproarious success of this arena production was
also due t » the brilliant combination
of understatement, repetition, ab<

(which Is as good a reason aa any I
suppose why the lead characters
were named Bro and Middle Paradock). Performed by the Galaxy
Players, a Community Theatre
group, at Nott Memorial Theater,
Union College In Schenectady;
"Tinkle" by N. F. Simpson completely overshadowed a second
rather subordinate comedy, "A
Phoenix Too Frequent" by Christopher Fry, nightly from the fifteenth to the nineteeth of February.
Assuming the play had a plot,
and I'm not quite sure that it had,
then the plot was either irrelevant
or Indiscernible, or more likely,
both. After all, when a play opens
with the lead characters discussing
educationally subnormal parakeets,
one can expect that plot and other
orthodoxy will simply be disregarded as sensible. As the char-

disappointingly reduced this show
to a child's comedy Instead of the
fine adult insanity that it waa.
The sequence of events begins
when the Paradocks receive an elephant. This Isn't too disturbing because they've had a pigmy elephant
every year for several years (excepting the year they had a giraffe)
but this Isn't a pigmy. Upon receipt
of the pachyderm, there ensued an
hilarious discussion regarding the

Fitzgibbon Demolishes Legend
In l i f e of Dylan Thomas'
by Dr. Arthur Collim
m
I
Constantine Fitzgibban. The Lift 61 Dylan Thomas. Boston! AtlanticLittle-Brown. 1965. $7.95.
All too often the phrase "authorized biography" has meant veiled
truths and guarded revelations, but applied to Constantlne Fitzgibbon's
plainly labeled "Life of Dylan Thomas" It means only that the biographer
has had the cooperation of his subject's family. There was no heroic
image for Thomas's widow to burnish and his biographer to mirror.
The iconoclasts had already done their work — and their names were
Dylan and Caitlin Thomas,
Fltzgibbon has had the unusual task of deflatlngan anti-heroic figure,
the one familiar to readers of John Malcolm Brlnnln's record of
Thomas's American tours and of Caitlin Thomas's "Leftover Life to
Kill" as well as dozens of shorter reminiscences. That figure, reflected
in the Broadway version of Thomas's last years, exceeded belief. As
Fltzgibbon writes, "In legend this exhausted, often drunkand frequently
sick man has become a veritable Priapus, who could surpass the Hercules of the Thirteenth Labour and deflower all the virgins of Bennington or Vassar In a single night, after which he would chase all the female
faculty members around the campus before breakfast."
It Is the legends, not the Image of the man, which Fltzgibbon demolishes. One cannot help respecting Fltzgibbon for the straightforward
candor with which he pictures the poet whose romantic view of himself
as doomed by tuberculosis lacks any responsible medical evidence.
Drawing on all that others have already written, Fltzgibbon notes the
Inconsistencies and records the angles of distortion. The test case, of
course, is Caitlin Thomas herself. The biography endows her with the
kind of sympathy she cried aloud for In "Leftover Life to Kill," but
the sympathy is balanced by the detachment with which her own follies
and shortcomings are detailed. Fltzgibbon Is no gentler with her than
he is with Thomas or Thomas's detractors.
After an introductory analysis of what Thomas may have owed to
Wales and to his family, the biography runs steadily forward with the
exception of a discursive chapter sketching Solio and the London life
that Thomas punningly referred to as "capital punishment." Among
the new sources available to Fltzgibbon are several unpublished journals and autobiographies. Quoted at greatest length, because they provide the best Information concerning the poet's first creative period,
are Pamela Hansford Johnson's diary and her treasury of letters from
Thomas while he was wooing her.
From Jack Lindsay comes one of the finest anecdotes In the book,
telling of Thomas's tearing up poems and tossing them In the rubbish,
from which he expected Caitlin to rescue them. But she would not do so,
and the poet had to salvage them himself with the humiliating knowledge
that he had made " a romantic gesture, an act of self-demolition that he
couldn't sustain."
The scholars are at work tracing the deaths and entrances of drafts
of poems; there Is already a full shelf of their studies. Fitzgibbon's Is
the book to begin with — apart from Thomas's own. Modest in length as
well as attitude, It gives the most comprehensive view of the poet In
all the masks he wore. It may excuse him for taking his host's shirts
but not for stealing the hostess's sewing machine, It accepts his selfevaluation as "captain of the second eleven" In English poetry, but It
questions his honesty as well as consistency in some of his pronouncements about the theory and the method ofhls writing, It makes painfully
clear how Thomas's way of life, predicated on an early death, led to the
financial anxiety that "with monstrous Irony, like some bird of prey that
had been gnawing at his llvor, flew away as soon as he became a corpse."
The lonely vigil with words that made Thomas a poet left him vulnerable to beer and bonliommie. The acclaim and applause to be won
as the life of the party—any party, but usually a drinking party—led to
a kind or role-playing that kept him from getting down to work, Thomas
fled from contracts he'signed too lightly and lived as prodigally as the
American frontiersmen; like them he pushed at last to the western
shore and, had he lived, would have been forced to come to terms with
civilization.

Council Postpones Class Elections
After Supreme Court Injunction
A special meeting of Central
Council was held Tuesday night to
decide when class elections were to
be conducted after the Injunction was
brought against the Election Bill by
the Supreme Court. Since a quorum
was not immediately present, discussion on the Issue resulted.
Candidates for class offices attended the meeting to ask that the
elections not be postponed. They
pointed out that any additional campaigning would place a greater burden on the already exhausted candidates.

Of 'Sufficient Question' Raised
The Supreme Court granted an injunction suspending all voting for the office of
MYSKANIA until 10 p.m. March 3, 1966 in action taken Monday. The Court will decide on or before such time if the Injunction merits extension. In the case of Frank
Penski et al versus Central Council, the justices decided that sufficient interpretation was needed before the legality of the case presented by Frank Penski and Robert Fairbanks could be judged. Consequently, the Injunction was granted.
The case of Central
Council was presented by
Dick Thompson who defended the elections as they
were scheduled. He defended the right of the
Council to set up election

The program will include the lirst
performance of "Oh Freedom I" by
Joel Chadabe, composer and new
member of tile music department.
"Oh Freedornl" Is apiece written
especially for ihe University Band.
It grew out of discussions between
Hudson and Chadabe. It was motivated by the desire to make some
statement with regard lo their Involvement In civil tights activities,
and to show tills through an original
musical work performed by a University group.
Sung as Hrotost
The songs that are used are all
songs that have been sung as protests or to keep up the spirit and
faith of tho campaigners. They are
all derived from the folk tradition,
and In fact ouo of them, "Oh,
Lawd, what a mornln," is a spiritual.
What this means Is that the songs,
sometimes with different words,
have been handed down from lather
^ Z ^ T t T e i ^ Z l
of the singer
They have never been written
down or formally composed, so that,
each singer can sing ills own slight
variations. More or less standardized versions of the songs have come
about because of phonograph records. In tills way tlie songs remain
poignant and true.
'I lie way that they are used In
this arrangement Is by trying to
capture their essential spirit and
expression with regard to the movement.
For example, the first full statement of song, "This little light of
mine," Is treated In order to capture the essential gaiety of the
song In the tempo and rhythm, the
hope In tlie sonority, and tlie human
juzz-like freedom In the accompaniment.
The statement "We shall overcome" Is treated like a hymn.
The program will also Include
