toNtHac requirement* for entrance Into the university. The General Collate, on the other hand, will, In
all likelihood, be constantly pressing for its own conception of liberal education, which may or may not be
at variance with conceptions held In the departments.
Wo take this kind of disagreement as normal and healthy,
and hop* that the ensuing discussions will generate more
light than beat. Although the Committee did not extend
Itself to a detailed consideration of program, It does,
In MM case of the General College, recommend that the
pattern of numerous discrete courses be abandoned for
other approaches which would be largely lnterdlscl.
pllnary In character, stressing larger units of study rather than the Individual courses. While we see the entire
process of higher education as attempting a reconciliation between personal and professional neede, the General College would stress the more general human and
personal aspirations of the student.
The Departmental Program, in the normal teaslon
between the requirements of general education and specialised education, the claim is often made, and indeed
It was raised In a most sophisticated fashion in our Student-Faculty Seminar meetings, that a specialized academic department is the best agency for overseeing
the entire educational program of the student In all aspects. At present, even, the most specialist-oriented
universities and colleges restrict such an approach.
The Committee recommends that students be given the
option of placing their total education within the hands
of a single department. In practice, this would mean
that a freshman enrolling for a four-year bachelor's
degree could select a departmental, major upon acceptance Into the university, and that his program would
then be completely under the jurisdiction of a single
department. We propose that each department set up Its
own system of counseling and academic advisement,
and establish Its own procedures. Some may want to tailor
programs to Individual students. Others may turn the
students loose, and still others may set up a welldefined pattern (or patterns) to which students must
conform, e.g., It might simply require the present pattern of University College prior to declaring a major at
the Junior level. In any event, we would leave the
decision to the departments and recommend that the "university legislate only the bare minimum standards, and
thus maximize departmental freedom at the undergraduate
level for the entire four-year period. A student with a
passion for music, or physics, or English, or whatever,
would commence his study under the auspices of masters
In that field and receive not only guidance for hia-her
specialized work, but also for general and liberal arts
education.
One Important stipulation which applies to the departmental program, as it does, indeed, to all the programs
suggested In this report, Is that adequate provision be
made to assure students of the possibility of "swapping
horses midstream," to change from one program to
another with some ease and no prejudice. We Insist,
rather strongly, that students be given academic mobility within the university, and that they be free to
move from one program to another with a minimum of
administrative and faculty restraint.
Independent
Study.
Independent study Is a means of learning, but as a goal
of education it far transcends in Importance any issue
of method alone. Independent study should not be, considered apart from the total alms of higher education. In
relation to these alms, It Involves both the form and the
content of the educational process. It Is, In fact, both
a philosophy and a method, and above all, a spirit or
atmosphere in which this process can develop. If we
conceive the process of Independent study as the
maturing of the individual's learning capacity, then
It is education itselj. in other words, In the last analysis, only Independent study Is effective study, since the
Implied contrary, "dependent study," is by definition
not a self-generating process and cannot form a valid
educational concept.
In the past, and In certain circles still, the basic
supposition has been the existence of a more or less
fixed corpus of Information and concepts and Its consequent transmission by teaching to a relatively passive subject. We would assume, rather, the development
of tools by which information may be explored, handled
and Integrated by the student engaged In the learning
process. In this sense, Independent study Is central
to education.
We strongly recommend that all necessary steps be
taken to make Independent study a dominant factor on
the Albany Campus.
Spe cificH
1) Cooperation with existing plans to grant credit
by examination, e.g., ETS, New York State
Department of Education College Proficiency
Program, et cetera.
2) Elaboration and extension of SUN YA programs
for credit by examination.
3) Increase support of students engaged In Independent study by liberalizing access to laboratories, libraries and Instructional resources
(Including the most recent and advanced educational technologies and media).
4) Widespread publication and dissemination of
syllabi, bibliographies, examinations and other
materials.
5) Establishment of an administrative office for
lndpendent study at the level of either the
deans or academic vice-president to guide and
encourage this activity.
6) The use of Independent study as a technique
within the structure of courses, e.g., reading
periods, in addition to the'broader devices suggested above.
7) Provision for a structured Independent study
program In the event a three-three calendar
is adopted. In addition to the normal three
course load per quarter, students could be
given the opportunity of pursuing a parallel
Independent study project. The amount of supervision, in such cases, could vary from complete Independence to relatively close collaboration with a single professor or a faculty
group. (This recommendation In no way replaces the unstructured uses of Independent
study).
The Experimental College
The State University of New York at Albany should
create an experimental college designed to develop a
program of liberal education by integrating the last
three years of high school and the first two years of
college. Students would be admitted at the beginning
of the tenth grade and prepared for admission to the
larger university community at the Junior year.
This kind of Institution may replace, or at least
provide an alternative to, the traditional liberal arts
college. These years appear to provide a superb opportunity for an institution devoted to liberal studies within
the American system of higher education. The Experimental College should have an autonomous status within the university with Its own faculty and with ample
authority to experiment. This proposal Is also premised on the likelihood that increasing numbers of American families not only will be able, but willing to send
their children away to school at age fifteen.
It Is Important that the College, while autonomous,
should be associated with the university. Individual students should, under certain conditions, be permitted to
take courses In the university when their own development requires it. It also should be possible for faculty
of the Experimental College to offer courses In the
university, but their primary allegiance should be to
the College. The College administration should also
be enabled to use the services of professors in the
university for special courses and lectures. The College faculty will, however, govern itself, especially
with respect to salaries, promotions, tenure and program of studies.
Although we propose to cover the traditional three
years of high school and the two years of the lower division in four years, acceleration Is not the purpose of
the College. An Integrated plan should economize some
of the student's time.
We also propose to use up to three summers for educational experiences (which in effect Is the fifth academic year). One summer should be an Intensive study of
a second language. Ideally, this would Include living and
studying abroad, and might Include one regular semester as well as the summer. Another summer should be
devoted to an offcampus experience with art or science,
such as those provided now by Professor Vincent Schaefer for high school seniors at Whlteface Mountain and
other locations. The third summer should be spent In
direct contact with some important social problem.
Students who expect to g" on to the university will
be admitted to the College, which will be concerned
with their education as human beings and citizens,
not as specialists. The education In a specialty will
be the clear task of the university. Here the normal
expectation will be that the student's program will lead
directly to the master's or doctor's degree rather than
the traditional bachelor's degree. Indeed, we recommend
as the degree for graduation from the College something
like "International baccalaureate," which Is now under
development by the International Schools Examination
Syndicate (ISES) In Geneva, Switzerland.
The Idea of the international baccalaureate first arose
from the special needs of International schools and the
special contribution they can make to education today.
With the growth of an International community of persons working outside their own country and frequently
changing their residence, International organizations In
particular, such as the World Health Organization,
UNESCO, and the European Organization for Nuclear
Research, often find that their greatest single problem
In recruiting staff Is the education of their children.
They are, therefore, vitally Interested In International
schools which will articulate with universities In many
countries.
American educators are participating in this development through the Advanced Placement Program of the
College Entrance Examination Board In New York
(CEEB). The international baccalaureate will attempt
to provide a degree which will make It possible- for
a student to enter a university in any of a large number of participating countries. We urge further Investigation of the posslblUty for SUNYA to participate
In a program of this kind so that our degree will enable
a student not only to enter the university at Albany,
but also universities In other parts of the country and
abroad. The International Schools Examination Syndicate
was set up in 1004 as an association registered under
Swiss law and has an international council. It has been
assisted by grants from the Twentieth Century Fund
and the Ford Foundation, and has the support of UNESCO
and the assistance of a number of working parties drawn
from different countries which are now investigating
the general structure of examinations and syllabi of
particular subjects.
The ISES now proposes to seek the cooperation of a
limited number of carefully selected International schools
and universities In the experimental operation of an
inf.crnational baccalaureate from 1970 to 1976. The Special Undergraduate Committee recommends that we establish contact with this endeavor and coordinate our effort
with others.
We believe that the Experimental College Is the creative
response to the educational, demographic and economic
forces presently confronting us. It attempts a new kind of
resolution of the present tensions between liberal education and specialization which now exist i in American higher educatlon.TheCollege should provide a model for other
Institutions to emulate when the objective forces in our
society create a special opportunity, about 1980, The conversion of some existing liberal arts Institutions to the
pattern of the Experimental College may provide their
salvation. However, In the long run, such colleges ought
to be clustered about university centers. This conception
of clustering may prove superior to the concept of the
University of California at Santa Cruz, which attempts
to make the university a cluster of colleges giving a conventional baccalaureate degree. It is doubtful that the
Santa Cruz pattern can manage the tension between liberal education and specialization, and indeed the colleges
seem to be specialized from the very onset. The superiority of the Experimental College resides in the fact
that It proposes a separate faculty with great autonomy
and does not depend upon professors with dual responsibilities. At the same time, it enables the students to take
advantage of the university.
The proposal does suggest the desirability of a new
kind of faculty. It should be better than the present high
school faculty, but not as specialized as the staff of a
good many liberal arts colleges. The Experimental
College should be attractive to scholar-teachers who have
broad Interests and who are person - rather than research-oriented. We propose the establishment of several
distinguished professorships to attract such faculty. We
recognize that, in a sense, we are creating the need for
a new kind of teacher, but such persons exist, and even
before any of our deliberations were discussed lnpubllc,
one member of the Committee was approached by several persons Interested in exploring the possibility of
teaching In such a College.
Postscript
Oi/r report was prepared .somewhat in
the spirit of a statement which is often
provided to an atrhitect prior to his
development of sketches and detailed
drawings. The student leaders, professors and administrators of the university
as a whole must eventually serve as
the architects, engineers, and contractors. We are only specifying broad, general guidelines and even these are open
to discussion and change. The Committee
attempted to discharge its [unction by
limiting itself to the structure of undergraduate education within the larger
university framework. It tried to avoid
entering into the details of curriculum
ai\d administration anil it lean's these
crucial matters to subsequent phases of
growth and development. Hut u-hatvvvr
pattern or patterns ive adopt, we urge
an accommodation of administrative and
organisational procedures to continuous
innovation and e.rpe rimentalion. The
dynamics of a modern urban and industrial society, as well as the dynamics of the university itself, make imperative, the skillful adaptation of education to new needs while conserving the
best of traditional values.

they w e r e fighting or were t h e y
just " o c c u p y i n g . " I then asked
w h y t h e y were t h e r e . A m o r e
o p t o m i s t i c m e m b e r of o u r g r o u p
tried t o shrug t h e a n n o u n c e m e n t

are always t r o o p c o m i n g a n d
going and m a y b e t h e y were t h e r e
for " m a n u e v e r s . "
I somehow
sensed
the
o m i n o u s m e a n i n g of this news. I
had been in the Soviet Union four
weeks a n d had talked to Soviet
s t u d e n t s a b o u t the liberalization
taking place in Czechoslovakia.
Three Soviet s t u d e n t s had given
me the idea "that this liberalization
would n o t be allowed t o c o n t i n u e .
They were pleased t o see their
Czechoslovakian b r o t h e r s gaining
freedom, b e c a u s e t h e y would have
liked s o m e t o o .
When we had talked of it,
they were also a little sad. They
knew that the reforms would be
s t o p p e d a n d t h e n t h e citizens in
Czechoslovakia and t h e Soviet
Union w o u l d have less freedom
and e v e r y o n e w o u l d b e a little
m o r e closely w a t c h e d . I knew t h a t
these s a m e Soviet friends would
be s h a k i n g
their heads
with
sadness a n d s y m p a t h y for t h e
Czechoslovakian p e o p l e .
T h e r e was n o t m u c h I could
do a b o u t finding o u t w h a t the rest
of t h e w o r l d was doing or h o w t h e
Czechoslovakian
people
were
reacting t o t h e e n t r a n c e of the
t r o o p s . We w e n t on our day-long
excursion t o N o v g o r o d , o n e of the
oldest c e n t e r s of civilization in t h e
Soviet U n i o n , and 1 c o n t i n u e d t o
wonder.
It
would
have
been
c o m f o r t i n g t o be able to turn o n
the television and hear a panel of
news c o m m e n t a t o r s
explaining
the
facts
and
what
their
c o n s e q u e n c e s could b e as we have
b e c o m e used to during times of
crisis,
but
there
were
no
commentators.
There
was no
c o m p l e t e analysis of what was
happening
in
the
minds
of
g o v e r n m e n t officials or what was
happening in t h e U.N, We had the
same n e w s s o u r c e s as t h e Soviet
people, and it wasn't very much^as
usual, and trying t o read Pravda's,
the
official
voice
of
the
Communist
party, explanation.
My
questions
s t i II were n' I
answered. Pravda a n n o u n c e d t o
the Soviet people t h a t t r o o p s had
had
to
be
sent
into
Czechoslovakia at t h e r e q u e s t of
t h e Czechoslovakian g o v e r n m e n t ,
t o save its citizens from t h e
''counterrevolutionary
influences."
T h e r e was
an
ideological discussion of these
influences
and
then
the
announcement that no country
would ever be allowed t o b r e a k
away from t h e C o m m u n i s t Bloc,
I was still trying t o figure
out
who
or
w h a t in
the
g o v e r n m e n t had ordered these
t r o o p s . T h e r e was no news of
w h a t had h a p p e n e d when t h e
t r o o p s had entered the c o u n t r y . I
had no idea, as I found o u t later,
of the cold reception the t r o o p s
had received by t h e people they
had gone in t o " s a v e . "
T h e n e x t big puzzle in m y
mind was w h a t t h e United States
was doing a b o u t this invasion. I
had an idea t h a t my group could
b e affected b y a decision of
disapproval t h a t the U.S. might
m a k e . Actually we were leaving
the c o u n t r y S a t u r d a y so t h e r e
wasn't m u c h t i m e t o w o r r y a b o u t .
From
Wednesday
to
S a t u r d a y life w e n t o n as usual for
t h e people of Leningrad and for
us. T h e r e w e r e n o g r o u p s of
citizens p r o t e s t i n g a n y kind of
unfairness. We waited because
soon we would get the details of
t h e invasion as t h e rest of t h e
world knew t h e m . T h e Soviet
citizens, h o w e v e r , would never
hear t h o s e details.
O n l y the m o s t aware m i g h t
ever t h i n k t h a t the rest of t h e
world m i g h t b e hearing different
facts
from
what
they
were
hearing.
S a t u r d a y finally came and
after a m i n o r c u s t o m s delay we
boarded t h e p l a n e to Helsinki,
Finland, less t h a n an h o u r a w a y .
Soon after we arrived at t h e
institute w h e r e we were staying,
we met t h e g r o u p of 3 3 t h a t had
been in Moscow. We started
swapping r u m o r s in an a t t e m p t to
put t h e pieces t o g e t h e r and find
o u t w h a t really h a p p e n e d . T h e y
had been watching the Kremlin,
but
watching
it gives
little
indication of w h a t ' s going on
inside.
S o m e o n e had heard that
Dubcek,
the
head
of
the
Czechoslovakian
Communist
Party, had been killed. S o m e o n e
else said n o , b u t w h e r e was he?
S o m e o n e h a d heard t h a t
China had e n t e r e d " t h e w a r " ?
What war? R u m o r s , r u m o r s and
no o n e knew a n y t h i n g for sure.
Finally we l o c a t e d an English
language
newspaper
and
discovered t h a t t h e rest of the

Works
Villa mil And Ogier
The Art Gallery at State
University of New York at Albany
has begun the 1968-69 season
with four concurrent exhibitions.
The showing includes one-man
exhibitions by the painters Rafael
Villamil and Donald Ogier along
with a selection of photographs
entitled "Guggenheim Fellows in
Photography."
The fourth exhibition, prints
from
the collection of the
Museum of Modern Art, is cailed
"The Artist As His Subject."
The work of Rafael Villamil has
been exhibited in his native
Puerto Rico and in one-man
s h o w s at t h e Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts and at the
Pan-American
Union. While
contemporary in its use of
irregularly shaped canvas, found
objects, and electric light bulbs, it
is spiritually related to indigenous
Latin religious folk art.
Mr. Villamil now lives and
works in Philadelphia. Donald
Ogier, who is presently a teaching
assistant at the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst, har
exhibited widely in the United
States and in Europe where he
worked as a Fulbright Fellow in
1962. Mr. Ogier calls his current
work
''three
dimensional
painting. "
It combines found objects,
collage, and acrylic paints on
canvas and wood. "Guggenheim
Fe 11ows in
Photography"
represents the work of 29
r e c i p i e n t s of J o h n Simon
Guggenheim
Foundation
fellowships in photography. The
foundation's first award was given
in 1937 to Edward Weston. The
exhibition includes such other
well known names as Ansel
Adams, Bruce Davidson, Robert
Frank, Dorothea Lange, and G. E.
Kidder Smith.
Artists' self portraits and their
interpretations of fellow artists
are the materials for "The Artist
As His Subject." The prints are
the work of fifty artists from
eleven countries.

controversial sequences in recent
films, a spaceman and the
audience do.
Visually, the film is a triumph.
The space sequences are delicately
balanced ballets, in which Kubrick
has orchestrated rotary, lateral,
and torque movement in ways
that, while formally beautiful,
also attempt to cinema tically
indue a feeling of weightlessness.
(Sit as close as you can; from the
second row, it's quite something.)
Similarly, steep camera angles
and off-balance framing further
dislocate our sense of position,
until up and down mean nothing.
Kubrick has also stringently
controlled his color schemes to
intensify
his material: for
instance, against the blue-black of
space throbs a yellow-and-red
spacesuit; the space station's
interior is a frosty white-on-white
with pink furnishings; the eye of
HAL9000, the computer, is a hot
red-yellow-white disc. The tightly
integrated colors strengthen the
impact of the blazing torrent of

soundtrack.
The film closes with a

luminescently above the earth.

added that the workshop is not

are prompted by the child's
imagination and guided by a
creative dramatics group leader.
She concluded, "All children

star-child—so that finally he can
turn from the earth to confront
comprehendingly the beauty of
the universe. This serious and
intelligently Ire a ted theme,
combined with visuals of
surpassing grandeur, make "2001 "
one of the most fascinating and
exciting of recent films.
Following an opening season loss to Coast Guard, the Albany State Harriers registered a win over

year, the Albany squad registered a shutout against Pittsburgh's squad. This year, the Harriers came within
one runner of duplicating the feat of crossing the first five runners over the line.
The first three finishers for Albany were Sophomores Larry Fredericks and Pat Gepfertand, and Junior
Paul Roy. The winners finished holding hands as they crossed the line.

State Presents
American Breed;
First Edition
Alan Lasker
The all university concert,
sponsored by Special Board
Events, featuring "The American
Breed" and "The First Edition"
lacked a certain "umph."
The "American Breed" began
the evening with a medley of their
hits followed by a selection of
works that were difficult to
identify with. They tried to
perform well but their efforts
proved futile. A coordination
between the volume of their
music and their voices lacked
h a r m o n y , and t h e i r
songs
contained neither catchy lyrics
nor a pulsating beat.
Their attempts to involve the
audience, which included certain
members of the audience to sing
and dance before their peers,
failed. Their songs were only
mediocre with the exception of
" Bend me, Shape me." The
"American Breed" lacked a
unique characteristic that could
set them apart from anyone of
their many competitors.
"The First Edition" proved
more entertaining. One reason
may be due to the fact that
Thelma, their lead female singer,
not only sang with an enchanting
voice but danced quite gracefully
to the public's satisfaction.
Their songs ranged from "You
keep Me anging
n" to an
"Italian Art Song" and "What
Condition" to their closing theme
of "Mirlrpv MOIIKP "

Of Soccer Colleagues
One of the co-captains of this
year's Varsity Soccer team is
senior John Compeau. In his third
year of soccer for Albany State,
John is one of the two starting
wide halfbacks.
Before coming to Albany, John
lettered in three sports in Central
High School. John earned letters
in f o o t b a l l , basketball and
baseball in both bis junior and
senior years.
With no previous experience in
high school, John has progressed a
long way to become one of the
o u t s t a n d i n g performers
for
Albany's team. Weighing in al
only 150 pounds, John not only
possesses a strong foot, but is also
capable of giving and taking
punishment. John has also played
fullback for Albany thus giving an
indication of his versatility in the
game.
Besides his playing soccer, John
has participated in intramural
sports for Potter Club, of which
he is a member.
In his freshman year at Albany,
John did not participate in soccer,
but rather was a member of the
Cross-Country squad. Along with
his athletic endeavors, John also
found time to participate in the
Albany State band the first two
years of school.
Albany's record now stands al
two wins and one loss. Using a
complicated system of a double
dual meet in their first encounter,
the Albany team was awarded .1
win over Montclair, but were
given a defeat by the Coast Guard
Academy.
This Saturday, the Harriers
travel to LeMoyne to participate
in the LeMoyne Invitational. Last

competition of the athletes. In
some ways, however the spirit of
the players was almost a "kill"
altitude In some instances, it
looked more like tackle football
than "two hand touch."
Most attention was focused on
(lie EEP STB game. EEP
dominated the first half. A Larry
Myers interception for STB
almost broke the deadlock, but
the first half ended with no score.
STB started moving at the start of
the second half, mounting a
steady drive by using short pass
patterns. But the EEP defense
held
A beautifully set-up screen pass
to "Whit" Whitco was the first
scoring of the season, and seemed
to break the spirit of STB. With
just one minute left, Danny
Wycoff caught a Jim Waibel pass
and scored the extra point, to
wrap things up. The final score,
13-0.
In the other 10:00 game, KB
defeated UFS 7-0. There was no
scoring in the first half, but a
second half Benedict to Zeke
Zaremba pass was enough for KB.

Captain Dan Goldstein gave credit
to his defensive team, especially
Sal Villa. Captain Nicollela ot
UFS also praised his defense and
felt that KB was able to capitaliztDii just one UFS mistake to win.

defensive stars.

Whereas coaching a freshman

constant running and repeated

particularly a disadvantage.

T h e Albany S t a t e University
track t e a m lias been elevated to
the level of a varsity s p o r t . T h e
track t e a m having o p e r a t e d on a
club basis for the past t w o years,
will be officially instated on the
varsity level this spring.
Last season's track club, under
the guidance of R, Keith Munsey
and Mr. Brian Kelly, compiled a
creditable record in view of its
relative inexperience. Facing t h e
likelihood of a m o r e d e m a n d i n g
schedule coupled with a division
of s t r e n g t h , the 1969 season
should prove formidable.
Phenomenal
Record
Held By Coach Munsey
T h e Albany Stale Harriers are
being led mis year by R, Keith
Munsey. Coach Munsey, w h o is in
his seventh year as m e n t o r of
Albany's team has a c c u m u l a t e d an
amazing dual meet record of fifty
wins and only six losses. During
his t e n u r e , h e has directed t w o
undefeated teams, while n o n e of
his teams has lost m o r e than twice
in a season.
In a d d i t i o n to coaching t h e
Varsity (,'ross-Coutury team, Mr.
Munsey also has charge of t h e
freshmen
squad.
During
the
spring, he is d i r e c t o r of t h e newly
formed Track a n d Field Club. Thu
Track a n d Field Club which began
only t w o years ago is e x p e c t e d t o
b e c o m e a varsity team this year.
Before t h e i n c e p t i o n of t h e
Track Club as a spring s p o r t ,
Coach Munsey also served as
m e n t o r of t h e F r e s h m a n Baseball
T e a m for a n u m b e r of years.
T h e fantastic success of Mr.
Munsey's teams can he a t t r i b u t e d
to his o u t s t a n d i n g ability lo mil
only recruit I o p - n o t c h runners,
but t o develop their capabilities
when they arrive on c a m p u s .
Working under t h e h a n d i c a p of
not
being
ublo
t o offer
a
scholarship of a n y k i n d , Coach
Munsey is still able t o a t t r a c t
runners of high ability.
The transformation lrom the
club level t o the varsity level
should have t h e ironic effect of
diminishing
overall
team
effectiveness. While o p e r a t i n g on
the club basis there was n o
distinction b e t w e e n varsity and
freshman.
Insufficient d e p t h , particularly
prevalent in the varsity area, will
likely result from this division.
T h e c o m p l e t i o n of t h e beautiful,
eight lane, tartan-surfaced
track
will m a k e h o m e meets possible.

their
security gates and c a m p u s p a r k i n g
were discussed a t great lengths.
Dr. Clifton C. T h o m e , Vice
President for S t u d e n t
Affairs,
wished to clarify t h e reason for t h e
security gales. " T h e i r p u r p o s e is lo
prevent vehicular traffic on t h e
pedestrian walkways and to k e e p
fire lanes clear."
To
eliminate
the problems
e n c o u n t e r e d by vendors, ihe gates
will
be n u m b e r e d . This will
especially facilitate t h e d i s p a t c h i n g
of taxis.
Thorne
also
outlined
the
p r o c e d u r e used by delivery m e n .
He c o m m e n t e d thai all local
vendors were c o n t a c t e d before t h e
gates were c o n s t r u c t e d .
" W e feel it is m o r e i m p o r t a n t t o

Discussion of t h e gates led into
discussion of c a m p u s parking.
" T h e parking p r o b l e m on a n y
c a m p u s is i n s o l u a b l e , " r e m a r k e d
Collins.
Collins revealed t h a t a t w o story
s e m i - u n d e r g r o u n d parking lot is in

Collins a t t e n t i o n t h a t t h e r e are

into t h e lot.
His r e m a r k s were well taken b u t

Therefore,
