Originally it was thought that the .f!aper would be a regular forum of intelligent conversation involving the whole community_. Instead, it has degenerated into a ~ublic bulletin board that only a handful of students put together. 'rhe open editorial policy, so noble in theory, has failed. The time to debate this policy is passed. For years objections to the "we print anything" policy have been answered wi tt1 renewed .Promises to make it work• But every attempt has ended with the same disaapointment. Now, change is needed. Leaving the editing entirely to the reader has proved to be a faulty practice, and must not be allowed to continue. Therefore, beginning with this first issue of the 1978-79 school year, it is the policy of THE COLLEGIAN to publish all original, quality submissions of interest to the st. John's College community. To effect this policy every submission to the paper will be subject to editorial discretion. we believe this is a positive step toward ma.king THE COLLEGIAN a consequential part of St. John's life. The literary expression of this Col~ege is vital to us; we encourage everyone ·to make THE COLL.EllIAN the place of that expression. For the worthy ideal.of printing any good written work has not been abandoned. Rather, it is being safe-guarded. we believe the only way to publish a paper with integrity is to put our best effort in to it. ne u-11 " ... o Sts John's has four new tutors this year; see page 6. **"' Who's who in the freshe class? see pages 7-8. ..... ..E'all .::>1,orts a.re under way, and Dr. J & Co. have it wellcovered on pages 14-15.

The new students a.re conspicuous. ']hey have gleaming new greek manuals. They are often heard discussing the virtues of the Fitzgerald translation over the Lattamore. 'lb.ey turn the dial on the plin-ch and look for the North Star. These are all proper activites .for freshman.. l'hey are so proper that they are common, and so common that, generally, freshmen a.re obviously freshmen. But. tnere is another group of new people that is smaller and. less ·eac,y to spo·t than the .incoming freshman. This is the grcup of new tutors. I had an opportm1i ty to talk with our four freshman tutors this week. l waff struck by their diversity of backgrounds and their similarity of thoughts and feelinga regarding St. John's. Mr. '11t1omas Mark comes to us from the University of Cal.ifornia wher8 he taught philosophy. One thing in particular that attracted him to St. John's was its size. He is a veteran.of a big university and large: lee ture classes. rrhe accessabili ty of the tutors to the students was something which pleased all the new tut.ors. They all said how rim ch they liked being right next to the students ancl to be·aule to listen to what they have to say. 'i'he freshmen -cutors also liked t~ lack oi departments, for these can have the effect of creating oarriers and even -crapping people .in sheltered specialties. Mr • .tvlark is a music tutor (three of the new tutors are mllsic tutors; other than that their remaining classes are f.resimen classes), wnich for him.is a great opportunity to follow up his love of music. Mr. David Guaspari is also ~ new music tutor. He has studied and taugl:1 t ma thematics at a variety of institutions, including Cambridg~ and Berkley. He said tha-c he had had some "amateur" background in 1nusic but tr.lat ne d.id have some learning to do. All oi the new tutors were excited , if a little nervous, ab.out studying new things. It sec:rned thac the program held a great a-c crac Lion in ·chat large parts will be: in some wayc; new to them. The new tutocs -ion't mincl havin 0 a specialty, out they want ~o expand their view. Mr. Stephen Winterc; has s_c:•cci<~li;,c:c1. i.L1 a 1 ·number of things·.-·· He has studied ma th un. philosophy, taug}n iiistory of Science, an has been a. German Lranslator. For both "' 1-< and tne o-cher new tutors St. John's is th fufillmenL of a long-held. desire to learl1. and teach a i.; tne same time. Tne Freshmen tutors were also interested in the breadt and depth of study and examination of "ba. 1 ic, not trivial" truths. Mr. Kelton McKinly com es here with a. re . search and teaching background in biology He has "only" two clac;ses and is spending the balancE: cf his t.;..me doing research un a grarn. from the National Science Foundation. It is quite a Etef from .r·esearch seminar, but for :Mr. McKinly it is welco1 It wac. clear that all the tutors had an idea. of education and a comrr.unity of lear i..ng -chat St. John's has fufilled.

JOHN'S Cott.~ . To judge by the disposition of most St. John's students, Annapolis might as well be some place else .. This is strange for Annapolis is St. John's Front Campus. Yet we treat the town like we do Back Campus: an interesting place where you only go if you have to. More than necessity should bring us into .Annapolis, however. There are shops to search through, streets to wander down, food establishments to investigate, tourists to laugh at --·in short there is enough of the corporeal nature to ke;p the average philosopher busy for weeks. . Perhaps it is thought that time spent explor~ng the real_ subtracts time spent exploring the ideal. But i f we are to avoid becoming L~&.Wio<L then we are obliged to venture into the public , ~omain and at least see how the rest of humanity is coping with life. Nor should we allow our criticism of Annapolis ~o prevent our visiting the town.. Certainly it is an expensive, middie-crammed, seasick world. It is nonetheless capable of spawning a wonderful love/hate relationship despite, no, because of its oddities. And, of course, because its our home.

Fortunately, there is only one school of thought in Annapolis. And as conversations at this school on "What is virtue?" often end up on subjects like "Where can you.buy a good pizza?", we thought we publish the definitive work on the subject. This year, because of the financial difficulties in which the College finds itself, we must restrict our expenses as much as possible. One consequence of 'this is that Friday night lectures delivered at the College will not automatically be duplicated by the Dean's Office. The distribution of lectures will be handled entirely by the Bookstore. As soon as the Bookstore Manager has received requests for 20 copies of a lecture, she will arrange for the lecture to be printed by the print shop and made available for sale in the Bookstore. She will notify the community when the copies are available. Sincerely yours, WORST BOOK STORE New St. John's cards featuring line drawings of the campus are on sale in the Book Store priced 12 for $3 with all the profit turned over to the Caritas scholarship fund. Outside the 19th century prints of the campus, the cards represent the first of their sort in years for the college. The artist is Sister Barbara Sutorius of Baltimore. A bit more expensive are the needlepoint kits of the library and Liberty Tree which will sell at $26.25, including tax, a rncirk-down from the $32 they ordinarily would cost. If you like to needlepoint or have a mother who does, these might be perfect Christmas presents. They are to be worked in Persian wool. The Book Store won't get a penny of profit. Sale of cards and kits is one project the Caritas Society is ~romot­ ing to help provide scholarship funds for St. John's students. Last year its support assisted 12 students in remaining in school.

Barton advice of Bacon's New Organon. Well, in order to throw my lot in with the resistance and to encourage ·you to do the same, I'd like to offer a few observations and scenarios of what is going on and what is likely to happen in the future which greets us after graduation. (1) When the mother's eggs are fertilized in the laboratory, seven or eight of them are fertilized at once. Only one is chosen for implantation, and the rest get flushed down the sink. Is this mass abortion? This question will probably get lumped with the questions about abortion in general, so we may never hear it asked seriously again. (2) But we'll hear a lot about this one, because of inheritance squabbles if nothing else. A new form of prostitution is in the works called "surrogate motherhood". Poor girls, down on their luck, will cheaply rent what they can most easily earn a profit ontheir wombs. They will receive excellent meals and medical care (the real mother would at leat want the pregnancy to be heal thy.) and around $200$1000 a month. After they've given birth to some well-to-do's child, they'll be right back on the streets, that is, unless they belong to a state or corporate-operated stable of healthy, certified mothers. (3) Mere fertilization in a test tube is just the beginning, of course. In five years or so, nearly every large city will have a hospital which will be able to perform this impregnation. By that time, we'll probably be hearing of breakthroughs in the next phase of controlled evolution-- the total carrying to term of an embryo/baby in a laboratory. What an accomplishment! What will they name it? If they want to remain in character, they'll call it Adam. (4) The ultimate goal of these scientists is the total genetic manipulation we read about in the first few pages of Brave New World. The role of God is easier to play in this branch of science than any other, because, unlike his experiments with atom bombs and poisonous gases, the scientist will never be harmed by results of his genetic manipulations. Instead the genes he messes with and the dam- �10age he causes will be self-contained within the new race that his experiments produce. When this new race learns these genetic tricks, the results of their experiments will be even farther removed from anything resembling human nature. Since this manipulation is aiming at some notion of superior, ultimately perfect beings, our race might as well consider itself obsolete when we successfully recreate ourselves. After the initial excitement of the discovery that man could sustain a nuclear chain reaction, a deep depression fell over the group of men who had made the history-diverting breakthrough. One of them explained it, "We were all sort of hoping it wouldn't work." They new bombs would be next .. That's the way I feel about this gene tampering. I hope somewhere along the line they discover a mystery they can't solve, an energy or substance necessary for life they won't be able to provide. Until that happens, moral questions will fall deafly on those scientists who feel man is capable of prudently re-creating himself. They would not be working so hard if they didn't believe they could succeed.

The Seminar has consistently proved to be among the most enjoyable seminars of St. John's (If you doubt this just ask anyone who has been to one how he liked it.,) In fact, the success of the seminar has been marred by only one thing, and that is relatively poor attendence. While approximately 150 students and tutors have participated in the seminars of recent years, it is a shame that participation is not school-wide* This is the only class in which students of all four classes share the conversation. Consequently the seminar is as revealing about ourselves as of the work that is read.

He chased her around until her father changed her into a tree for safekeeping. Now for those of us who have severe doubts about the ability of the dimwitted and preyed-upon daphnia to survive this constant population depletion I propose that we all begin to address the fierce hydra as "Apollo This will alter them, so that not one will attain the object his passionate tentacles desire; not one will possess poor daphnia. And this is but a beginning Lynn Gumert �8 MOVIE THIS WEEK Orpheus. 1950. directed by Jean Cocteau Jean Cocteau, poet, artist, novelist, playwright, architect, draftsman, was also one of France's most imaginative filmmakers. His films, more than most of contemporaries', make conscious use of the magical quality contained in film's first principle; it is as if they expand the "persistence of vision", so that visions not only seem to grow in and out of one another, but also remain, taken out of time, in some corner of the retina Cocteau considered himself a poet neither more nor less; all his activities were, for him contained in this vocation., About his dra111ings which were brilliant he said, "Poets don't draw They untie handwriting and then knot it up again in a different way., 11 This is good to remember when viewing his films they arise from the word's recreation in the visual realm; though they are never merely drama recorded on film, though they do not depend on dialogue, they are self-conscious in a special way, like language which exists both to contain meaning and (in art),as a source in its own right. This movie, about a poet (the first poet, according to the myth), was one of the closest to Cocteau's heart. The imagery is accordingly more direct, less balanced, more invigorating, and perhaps less objectively pleasing than in his other films. The plot follows the myth, with one or two changes rung: Orpheus loses his wife, Eurydice, through neglect; he follows her to Hades and wins her back, but where there has once been death, there is despair; Orpheus and Eurydice cannot fulfill the promises required of them; they both die Cocteau has set the story in modern dress. This gives it a startling vividness, and Cocteau's ability with metaphor is equal to the task. The poet of this Orpheus, unlike him in the original myth, triumphs in a way: Death is arraigned before her own tribunal, and made to answer for her crimes. Do see this movie.

BallBy saying that there was not room enough in last week's Collegian for the D.C minutes you are saying that you do not think them important enough to print. I think you misunderstand your job as editor if you think. you are the judge of this I understood the new editorial policy of the Collegian was instigated to assure that the paper would be a fair reflection of the entire college community I understood this because it seemed to me that the of ten overbearing presence of a few individuals led the college community to believe an editorial policy was in order I think many of your efforts to broaden the scope of the Collegian have been very good (i e the idea behind the article and the article itself by Charlotte Fletcher was very good and the kind of thing we haven't seen in past years) However, limiting .the material printed in the Collegian to your personal efforts and instigations and to the works of you and your friends gives the Collegian a very narrow scope. Your presence has been so strong in these past few issues that it is often difficult to recognise the Collegian as this community's paper I urge you to go out of your way to accommodate the D.C. minutes within the Collegian s pages in the future because they are so very important to many of us who read the Collegian If you could make an effort to strike a balance between accommodating IPlithin the pages of the Collegian the submissions of others with the kinds of projects you have in mind for the Collegian, I think it could be a very good weekly ..

I was warned that poets were often bare-footed vegetarians who didn't bathe much. So I avoided poetry, and, like everyone else, decided to become a football player. It was not until the first yelps of puppy love that I embraced poetry. In fact, I even wrote some poems, all of which were dedicated to my beloved: 0 Sally! I want to meet you so badly on the way to Algebra class. As I grew older, my attitude changed very little. Poets seemed less vile to me, but all of them were dead. Anyway my English teachers were constantly reminding me that I didn't understand poetry. So I pursued safer literature, like TIME- magazine. When I arrived at St. John's I read a very long story about people getting killed. This, I was told, was po~try, perhaps the greatest poetry ever written. I soon rea~ized that I would have to change my attitude about poetry if I was to survive here. And so I did. But I think I still harbored the fear that somehow poetry was an illegitimate enterprise.. . The people have submitted their works for this literary issue have proven me wrong. No one would claim that St. John's is a thriving artist's colony; on the other hand, one could claim that there is serious creative writing going on here. I hope the COLLEGIAN can continue to support this writing by offering a chance to authors to publish their works. As for poetry and me, Words slip off the pen; there is no event. Words gather; there is no story. Words take on strange meanings; there is no reason Words run away; there is no author I Associate Editor Copy Printing Assembly Graphics am left holding Editor Sean Ball (and Mark Wielga Business ) John Lippman Alison Athey, Chris Butler, Jeff Hume, Lynn Gumert, Ken Ross, and Mark Fuller Patti Nogales, Jo Plitt, Wendy Tribulski, Ann Schwartz, Jeff Harter, Terr~ Polk, and the Mad Printer Amy Coughlin, Steve Edwards, and Roberta Carnevale Danielle George SPIDERY In the spidery hedge, everybody minds her own business.

She wants no false-hope tingles of satisfied hunger Caused by a fellow citizen she can't consume. Every flicker of her silky nerves must mean success!-More vitality to bloat her hideous abdomen. They do not chat with one another. No need. They all know what to do: When danger twitches, they shrink deep in their web-caves, Prepared instinctively in advancec They despise ants, with their communes to run home to. Condescendingly they mate--a ghastly ritual!-Performing completely in private. They die in winter, shrivelling, but they're crunchy by spring. Their children don't know where they come from, but they know what to do. Their silk hooks the wind and they're off!

There had been, so far as he knew, only two world wars already so that it seemed a bit premature, even gloomy, to be talking about a fourth. The man didn't know that he was being observed. He didn't know that he was one of the dregs of humanity. The young woman watching him was_ a college student, he: face thin, puffy and pallid.

Thus Ac:ii.illes asks Priam how long he will need to mourn and bury hi0 son Priam says twelve days and explains why. Achilles grants him twelve days-he will hold back th~ war for that long. Achilles, having himself been given enough time, givPs Priam enough time. This is Achilles' imitation of tf;e gods, his truly god-like act within the Ili.:1d. And i L seef'1s to me that for us too it is utterly important t~ give peoplr as much time as they need, to let them tell us just how much time that ic:, and to understand that clear reascris cannot always oe given for needing ju.st that amount of time. But I do not think that many of us-I leave out of acco'..lilt a few g:reat souls among us-are ca.pable of giving another time unless we ouroel vec. have.·, in one form or another, had the experience of being given, beyond any fair claim:-3 we car~ rr:akt-~, and contr-'-:lry t(: all rational expectation, enougl1 timf'., However 1larl<: oL.tr tir.lPS rna,y be, I d1J not think that such t=:Xperiences are altogether imposE>ible ~'or W3.

But God's goodness is shown not only in the deep-down, always-present goodness of His creation, b J. t al so in the mere:/ He shows to sinful man. Hence to acknowledge and praise God's goodness incl11dt:s ackn.owledging a:1d praising His mercy, and that requires that the occasions of that mercy, the sins and sinfulness of our live~:; be set for th.

Augu.stine does ~ot praise himi:;elf in th9 c<:nfe »3ion3, one ceascn being that he knows the great power of what he calls "the passion fo_~ se'._f-vinclicati.oE", that is, not merely pride in the sense of having too high an opinion of ourselves, 1 1 1;0 vinu..L<.;ct.Gc ourselves when accused, whether by does not suppose that this passion within him if he were to praise himself, to find something -achieved with the help of God ofcourse but still achieved for being faithful through many years to his own restin the face of so many temptations to come to some false peace that restlessness which so wearied hima the Confessions written when he was about 45 he the of his and mind so writes of how weary he was such a fuss about his own business of was on with the held out in his weariness and his embarrassment until as he the true God An.d then he said received a invitation 11 �Second we must be aware that to shed such a tear, to shed the tear, is not an :tct of will.. We cannot at that final moment selves do it through strenuous exertion Such a tear comes forth it does not It comes forth from a heart in which there is still some Here I t is where the will comes in where trying hard and struggling come in Not indeed the kind of struggle that seems ~ossible for some awong us - the struggle to be as good as good can be, the struggle to be very good Rather I am thinking of beings in whose lives it is much too late in the to make of their lives a tiful thing which might gladden those who behold them but for whom the question is: after so many betrayals of the things I ought least to have betrayed, after so many acts of violence against what I most to have cherished what difference could one more betrayal one more act of violence, possibly make? What difference could there possibl be between a thousand betrayals and a thousand and one? Perhaps I could resist this present tem~tation to betrayal - it would be ~ainful, but perhaps I could do it - but what's the use? What difference could it possibly make? And surely tomorrow I shall be guilty of some new betrayal. What Dante means to say, I think, is that it does make a difference thdt one moment of fidelity in the midst of a thousnad betrayals does not indeed make a life into a beautiful thing in which men and angels may reJoice but it may be enough to keep somehow intact a heart capable of shedding the right kind of tear when that matters most. Let me conclude by saying a few words abvut the final sentence of the Gospel of St. John. That sentence says: "But there are also many otherthings which Jesus did were every one of them to be writte~ , I supose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written " This makes sense I think, only if we suppose that John does not have in mind only the deeds of Jesus during his 33 years in Palestine where of course he encountered only a not very great number of souls. Rather John must mean that every soul that has ever been in the world or ever will be encounters Je~us in one guise or another knows him one name or another reGponds however obscurely to his invitation And I think of it iti not to speak of the deeds of Jesus as being not only for our rescue - alsurely it is right for us to think of them in this way most of the time but also for his own fulness and therewith for the fulness of the creation For we must take seriously his being a person And of myself as a person I know that there are some tilings in me which are brought out - and in some mysterious way even called into being - only by a certain friend other things brought out only by another friend. The loss of a friend is the loss of a part of me Af3 Jesus issues his invitation in as many ways as there are souls in the world the creation comes fully into its own. 13 stutter wild lightning like electric roots of some sky plant all these things happening and all these things happening and time dis tends lies in the darkslabs about the room veins/arteries subtly pulsing close to the window lips pretend to weld themselves from the glass but it is my own voice that speaks red and green in thin lines grids that hope for meaning fly on sweet unconscious turn indifferent matter to my soul. speak to me heavens clouds whisper of lost loves but i am twisted in the limbs of thick oaks lost between the wood and myself lost so helplessly the line/ i am no part of these bricks save thru deception.

I know you will tell me that this is an oversimplification, but it is a true one. . Speaking from the depths of my experience, I must say sadly to the ~arxist that he has obviously never tried to cook in the Campbel] Kitchen. Otherwise, he would have realized the fatal flaw in his theory. The Kitchen, you see, is an exercise in communism, and when I first got off food service last year I thought--like a:ny good Marxist--that this was a great idea. The pots and pans were held in common, and everyone contributed to the store of utensils. We agreed to clean up after ourselves, and not to eat each others' food. It worked fine for a long time. Then things started disappearing. Now, I don't mean that people simply · borrm11ed things while they were ea ting in their rooms, or anything like that. Things were "borrowed" and ~ ~ again. Some people held (and still hold) that this was done by roaches. Well, there are some pretty big raacres down therev--but I have given up trying to figure out what they are doing with all those plates and c~ps ar.1..d lmives and forks and spoons. Nor do I believe that it was roaches who on several occasions came down and fi.~ed themselves midnight snacks, leaving the mess for early risers to clean up next morning (although the roaches I saw did seem very enthusiastic about the leftovers.) I am forced, by my o1n...;ervations, to sadly conclude that this was done by peonle. This leads me to the even sadder but even more inevitable conclusion that, key-1:.older check list over the sin.le and sure that you do not have belongs to me I don't mind borrow it you have it. 2) I f you you have rEmoved from the kitchen: PUT IT MEAN NOW! !

And the term for taking the personal belongings of other without their knowledge or permission is STEALING.

"Everything For The Smoker" 56 Maryland Avenue Annapolis, Maryland 21401 Francis Keller Phone: 253-2066 Bait: 269-6642 RETORT TO LIBERTARIANISM The subject of "libertarianism" has been of recent interest and debate for many students, pa.rticularly since Mr. Tom Palmer 11 a junior at SJC and Chairman of the SLS (Student Libertarian Society), made a presentation on the topic a month ago. I was there, spurred on by a lecture he had delivered to me personally a few days before. I must say, at the outset, that I am not a Marxist, I do not believe our government is perfect, I do believe in personal freedoms, choices, independence, civil rights, apple pie, and to a certain degree, motherhood. H.owever, I am, to sone extent, a realist; as a result, I cannot embrace libertarianism-s specially to the radical degree that Mr. Palmer endorses. To do so in any seriousness would be politically unf easitle, naive, incredibly and hopelessly idealistic, misguided, and absurd. There are many surf ace issues invol• ved, which should be dealt with first. Mr .. Palmer quoted a passage which indicated that government was "unnecessary." Then why, you ma.y wonder, is there government to some degree in every society on the face of the earth? The answer is that everyone who f ounded--or worked in--a government was powerhungry, corrupt, vile, manipulative, selfserving, t;yTannical, and completely devoid of a:ny redeeming social value, of course. Examples in U.S. history alone include Thomas Jefferson, Jor...n Adams, Abraham Li..~coln, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Frances Perkins, Harry Truman. The iist is endless! Of course, _there are Richard Nixons and Adolf Hitlers. But let us not forget that neither of those men would b.ave come to power without a certain rorularity and consent of those governed. �to have a based , one appeals, and one Supreme to which each of us is assigned; and if by some misfortune we c:tre in a system filled with corrupt , we have little recourse. Ideally, there would be many little court closely supervised by the people so one could pick one's judge. This is all well and good, but what if two parties insist on two separate judges? Wb. o decides? (Well, we could elect an arbitrator, but that would border on government; or we could pass laws, but that i.s i;he beginning of the end.,) It ~ouid be rather difficult to set up a judicial system anyway if, as ¥tr. Palmer proposed privately to me, Congxess, the legislatures, and all :previous governing bodies were disbanded. Let us not forget recent steps where public pressure has ousted corrupt--and even simply nold fashioned" (the one who adwonished women for wearing revealing clothing) judges.., The notion of doing away with the CIA (and, I suppose, the F~I) as it exists today, because of its areas of corruption, is nothing short of ludicrous. Great proponents of this idea include--asice fro~ libertarians--such friendly types as the KGB, who would gt-=:t more rest at night if the business of American intelligence were turned over to the masses. Of course we could either have scattered intelligence agencies filled with well-meaning voJun.:.. teers, or· we could set up a large private system~which would, of course, never become corrupt. Or we could just rest on trust, knowing, as Tom Lehrer sang in the "MLF Lulla byn, that 11 . . . . our buddies won't give us the finger ...... hail to our loyal allies ! '' Other troubling assertions included a statement that "taxC>.tion is a euphemism for theft" (after all the polic·e, f1-"!:"e department, libraries, welfare progTams, health schools, etc can run on love, arJ.d we ta.Jc-payers have voice in ; the reto sexual dealing as wel]_ as Bakke and perhaps we were the ) The sticky problem of the is of some • Mr. Palmer would like uc: to use our powers only in a matter of defense., If we were to espouse this viewpoint, we would no longer be troubled with the embarrassing issues of Ugaw1a, Cambodia, etc. (You don't hurt us, we don't interfere with you.) Free trade also woulrl alleviate proposed boycotts again&t South Africa and other countries. Let's mind our own business, after all. We did in the 1930's when Mr .. Hitler was ••• uh ••• But at the heart of the problem is the libertarians' cockeyed view of huffianity. I perceive essential and inherent distrust towards people within government. However, as soon as people are removed from government, all of a sudden they are ar1gels, never to be corrupt or anima1istic; they'll give freely to charities established to take care of the poor; they'll comply with their own moral "FDA" when making products .. They'll volunteer for all the things people are paid for now. W.e can trust in the big businesses which will inevitably occur, as they have a record for being sweet (ah, for the Gay '90 1 s.) Trusting in the "kindness of strangers" would be sufficient. Perhaps Mr. Palmer has been in the magic mountain of St. J olm 1 s for too long Perhaps libertarians have forgotten that absolute liberties can le8d to absolute chaos., Perhaps they have wandered into the lovely woods of Walden and overlooked hun:an nature-~that our state is no better and no worse thm1 the people who run it and elect it.. I wish that Mr. Palmer's ideas were feasible, for the sake of the statement it would make about human nature and e~ery person in our society. I believe that a of the people by the people the people can m1c should be, realized The solution to problems in government cm"IDot be the dissolution of n:ent but rather the concerted effort to form a "more perfectn governms:nt 11 Submitted by Leslie S.. Ernith 1 Now to consider the digestive system. to the glottis) we find successively the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, cloaca. Appended to this line ~which~ like the respiratory, is a line of transport and ~rocess of material) are the liver, pancreas, and gall bladder, which organs_convey their secretions directly into the small intestine.

The liver and kidneys perform their work t1n ough excretory unc ions· · " bly line" the medium of the bloodsteam, and not along the direct assemh tract which handles ingested material of grosser scale. In t e ca~~ of the liver and kidneys, this is necessary be~ause_they s~avenge ie ultimate work of digestion. Thus the whole animal 1 : , as it were, contained by the digestive and the excretory moments. Does this mean that the digestive system is faulty, that it supplies bad as well as good? Or is the animal so contrived that the very use of good creates, incidentally, bad by-products that must be removed? Of course an animal's blood is also subject to infiltration and infection, .and this cannot be charged to the i ve function. But on . · h 1 the whole it seems remarkably true that no animal can simply and w 0 ly use what is supplied to it: it cannot c_onver t a 11 of any material into 1 ' do so, we shoul<l not and activity.

Most of the political and even material functions of the city are relatively indifferent to the metric of the city's layout. Of course in any particular city, where one thing is affects where another thing can be; but each new city is, to an important degree, a new story. The connections are topological~ not geometrical. This means there is no "speciesshape" to the city, though there is a kind of typical order of connectedness effected by what is, for the city, the cirulatory system: I mean the manifold of roads and conduits. The visible shape of every city but one could be transformed and distorted utterly; but if the topological relations of connectedness were preserved, the city would function as ever. 1he single city I exempt from this claim is the ceremonial city; and indeed all cities have a certain measure of ceremony in them. The inclusion of public squares, monuments establishing the cardinal di:ections, and in general the imposition of geometrical magnitude upon the basically mercantile topology is always of ceremonial significance and is so expressed, I think, in Pericles' Funeral Oration.. Thus ratio and pro.portion as applied to the ·disposition of structures is a specie:' of determinacy that neither mercantile nor subsistence economy aspires to. The living body.preserves this dichotomy between determinacy and indeterminacy of proportion, in the contrast between its external and its internal structures. Although in the animal the external configurations, which correspond to the ceremonial in architecture, do not display a Euclidean (rectilinear) geometry, it is nonetheless a geometry of magnitude and proportion. This is demonstrated by the ease with which the animal's face, if distorted, comes to resemble the face of another species: stion metabolism is the material world, but it is to another for food, and the up into life.

Jim Sorrentino Our Halloween film is that classic of the horror genre, a Poe of cinema 1 Dead of Night. It's an anthology film- five shorts framed by a seperat story- made in Britian in the late e Forties sometime. I won't give away any of the plots to the stories, the are each well told and aluo fit toge~h with the framing story and with each other, one building on the next. I will say that the atmosphere evoked is so Iinely crafted that fri~:;sons will be elicited.from even the jejune and occult-surfeited. It's one of those movies that makes you feel like a co-conopirator to the action. Best of all, Dead of Night is a true horro:r film. It has imagination and builrlR atmosphere masterfully, playing on our own common and unconscious fe1-1rs It is a refreshing change from films which rely on various ments and inordinate gore- effects which shock and repel when they nhould chill and fascinate.

The Ovulation Method is the newest natural method of family planning. It teaches the woman to locate all the fert-ile days of each menstrual cycle by training her awareness of the onset of cervical mucus flow. Thus a couple can avoid these days or use them to achieve pregnancy. As a natural method it relies for its effectiveness on abstinence on specific days before and after ovulation as determined by the mucus pattern and the known life spans of sperm cells and egg cells.. It bears no relation to "calendar rhythm" .. Developed and reserched by an Australian couple, Dr. John and Dr. Evelyn Billings, the method is applicable to all types of cyclesregular, irregular, premenopausal, nursing, post-partum and after the use of contraceptive medication. Classes designed to instruct women in the use of the method are forming now.

Students and other members of the College community are cordially invited to attend. Mortimer J. Adler's lectures always seem to attract a lot of attention. This year the attention has been drawn to the pranks staged during the lecture. Two weeks ago, in th~ Nove~b~r.19th issue of THE COLLEGIAN, two articles appeared which criticized the pranking; beginning on this page are several responses to that criticism. (Titles to the letters are those of the authors.) RESPONSE TO MRS a· t· issen :i..ng . ·t . G a m:i..nori y in erJll8I1Y t Mr. Adler would have stopped lecturing only i f he chose to. The prank me close to ~oing too far, but it carelv did escape.- I agree with Miss ba .; G mert that Mr. Adler's reaction was a~mirable, but I also admired the spunk 'of the pranksters. · I do not see the prank as the result f moral or intellectual vice, as sugested by Mrs. Berns. I did see the ull reaction to Mr. Adler's lecture, eluding a lively Q&A period, as peaking well of st. John's students, orally and intellectually. Many of us id not agree with Mr. Adler's points. t took use of the intellect to disaee.. It took moral "virtue" to face im personally, and politely, with our isagreemen ts, and to hear his respon- me the true show of disrespect ignore another's thought, to deny m a thoughtful audience. I am aware hat Mrs. Berns believes this was the ase with Mr. Adler's audience. But the lecturer himself can be our udge. I appeal to his own comments as closed the Q&A at an arbitrary moment casioned by his own other plans, not our disinterest (I paraphrase): "I have never told this to any St. hn's audience--and don't get a swelled ad--but only at this school could this ve taken place. JIJ;d I don 1 t mean the anks (which he seemed to enjoy]o I an this.

This piece was remarkable for the number of unnecessary commas, the hopelessly entangled prosody, the sourly humorless tone, and the groteoque "thinking" which cal:ed those of us at all involved in the prank, from bringing it off to merely enjoying the fun, Nazisc (Since over half of my father's family were exterminated by the Nazis, l find this last particula_ offensive.) That a tutor, one whose specialty is the lanquage tutorial, one who iG supposed to teach us how to write, should write so poorly is sorry indeed. But worst of all a real characteristic of the rea] Nazi party, viz., lack of humor, was cJearly and publicly s. '1own by a merr:ber of our community. For the Nazis were a singu~arly humorless bunch ~ho would nave relentlessly oppressed those responsible for such a prank, had it been played on one of their speakers. (N.B.: The tutor who wrote the letter was observed, when the prank was coming off, to be scouting the audience with glowering looks as if to see if any in her classes were involved or enjoying ito) Mr. Adler himself enjoyed this year year's prank, and he enjoyed those of previous years (he even noted them with affection in his autobiography). If he could enjoy it, it seems most out of place for someone else to barge in with her opinion. I am reminded of the sage gamboling one day with his friends On the approach of a humorless fellow he became serious and said that in the presence of a fool one had to be grave. 1 Sincerely, K.

This definitely does; its images and its phrases can combine into a thudding stinging blanket of horror weaving one's own prior experiences in with it it. It smothers.

Sometimes it seems this book is about the place where the gleam of the butcher's knife shining off its victims eyes meets the sculptor, chisel in hand, hovering around the big block of cube-cut marble; and what this place might be and how it comes about. -Marrast thought it vvas already time to start thinking about work on the statue and he had a fairly precise idea of what the imaginary effigy was going to be like- that is, as a first step the pedestal statue order wr.)u_;_d be inverted, somewhat like the Doges palace in Venice-*2 Cortazar is a craftsman.

Portions of Ulysses are t~e rre-eminent examples of this technique. The reader then, in a way more obvious than usual is drawn into the creating of the work. In the final sentence of the intro- ' duction Cortazar says- The reader.s option, his personal montage of the elements in the tale, will in each case be the book he has chosen to read.

JOHN'S COLLEGE ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND �'t THE COLLEGIAN THE STUDENT WEEKLY OF ST.JOHN'S COLLEGE SURE CURES fOR THE- JANUARY BLAHS: *** Visit the ;Art Gallery (review on page 6) *** Partake in Grand Illusions (page 8) St. John's should give consideration to.the idea of holding an All College Seminar on Art. Several people have-suggested this idea in private; it is now time to make the issue a public one. There is no doubt that an Art Seminar could be organized. The subject lends itself well to discussion (as a visit to an art musuem will easily confirm). Special instructors are unnecessary: our eyes qualify us to be critics, for certainly the laymari has a role in art. And short readings combined with several reproductions of painting:;are all the materials required for such a class. Both readings and reproductions are reanily r:J,VqiJ::iblP. Not only is an Art Seminar possible, it seems to me that it would prove to be highly revealing. I.t is the policy of St. John's to disclude the study of art from its formal curriculum, perhaps following here Socrates' exhortation to keep the painters out of the Republic. Paradoxically, this firm position on art study is a strong incentive to discussion. After all, where do we place the painters? If you like the idea of an Art Seminar, then make your opinion known to the Student Committee on-Instruction. They have the task of organizing the Seminar, . and they would appreciate hearing what the community would enj'oy. In any event, the question should be settled. Limbo is a sorry lot for any idea.

Students, both male and female, who are under the age of 18 must also have the written permission of their parents. Students who move off campus without first obtaining permission from an Assistant Dean will not have their room and board fees refunded. The Assistant Deans NATURE ABHORS A VACUUM The Student Committee on Instruction ;onsists of six extremely dedicated serrants of the St. John's ideal of liberal ·ducation, representing student opinion o the Faculty Instruction Committee. Due to the withdrawal from th~ College of one of their members, the C0mmittee will need a new member for the second semester. The withdrawing member is not the one freshman allowed by polity law, so the new member cannot be a freshman. Everyone with an interest in instructional matters and a desire to help shape the Program is encouraged to attend the Tuesday meeting of the Student Committee on Instruction at 7:00pm in 23 McDowell. Candidates for the position can ask the Committee about its work and about election procedures. The Delegate Council will appoint the new member from amongst the candidates at their meeting on Jan. 23. Jim Melcher for the SCI IT.!.S -nN O'c.LOC.k ... Do iou KNow WMERE. YdVR 1*,oe. YON LoTol?.

I hope that Monday's blood drive will be successful even though many of you have full class schedules. The seniors of course will probably be ready for a blood-letting, since they will be two weeks into essay-writing. Please call x53 for an appointment to give blood, 0 drop me a note. The Red Cross First Aid Course finished yesterday. 5 of the class of 15 were Johnnies. There has been a request for a one-day CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) course. I'll try to get one scheduled for our campus. Marilyn Mylander MORE HEALTH Mr. Cox and I (i.e. the Health Committee) received 45 replies to the Heal Education Survey we ran before Christm The main points of concern were: Nutrition, Stress, Death and Dying, Birth Control, Cancer, and Alcoholism. Mrs. Mylander has contacted the Anne Arundel County Mental Health Association Speake Bureau and they are willing to send speakers here if enough people are inter ested. Please let Mrs. Mylander, Mr. Cox or me know if you would like to attend a presentation, either on one of the topics above or any other. S. Chmiel TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN SWIMMING: The St. John's swimming memberships at the YMCA have expired. So we can't swim there anymore. To renew the membership that we had last year we would need at least 40 interested students, tutors, or staff. So far less than 15 people have contacted me. I am going to try to make a new arrangement with the YMCA for fewer St. John's memberships at the same cost. I will post a notice if these negotiations succeed, and then we can formalize our memberships. Stay tuned! - Alan Bowers Head Fish 7 Has anyone seen a thousand roses, All in bloom? ••• A soft breeze touches their petals ••• and a scent flows over the earth, You have breathed that scent a thousand times ••• As you are, that scent once smelled is conveyed to me.

It is an ex'libi tion of photographs by Michael Johnson which has come here via the Kathleen Ewing Gallery in Washington D.C. Michael Johnson is not a photographer who ~aptures the stark realities of life in his work. His eye rejects the ugly and grotesque angles and oddities of the world about us. He admits into his photographs only those views which are in shape and form particularly beautiful. His work stands apart from much of contemporary photography as a very refreshing exception. His subjects are the standards: buildings in decay, landscapes, trees & forests, and small plants of unusual design. But his misty vision removes these subjects from the tangible world and places them in a stillness and silence beyond our reach. Upon further inspection the particular subject becomes something else entirely. Within the rectangular limits of his photographs is a pleasing balance of shapes & sizes and a pr~portioned contrast of lights & darks. It is in this that Johnson's talent is evident; he is a master of composition. Such a talent is to be revered in the photographer; a painter can place objects where he chooses, a photographer must find them in their proper places. Johnson's discriminating eye is the gift that captures those scenes most suited to his rectangular range of vision. The exhibit can be viewed through February 11th on Mondays, Thursdays, & Fridays from 7:00-8:00 PM, on Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30 PM, & on Saturdays & Sundays from 1:00-3:00 PM. - Fred Cox hope they all die of tuber-Tom Waits DIRECTORY CHANGES Brenda Robertson - new home phone # 841-6285 Rita Bahus - 15 Brewer Avenue #2 269-1625 Berger - 268-7621 John Hearing - has withdrawn Susan Horovitz - 4 Randall Court #2 263-0598 Kathryn Johnson - has withdrawn 309 West Pinkney Alfred Newlin - 70 Maryland Ave. 263-8729 Jennifer Rappaport - 95 Charles St. Jenell Balkcom - 204 Campbell ·-- ... ·- ····· .. ---- �"' .l"l.i..u.- .. c:s - ..ian. 9, 1979 'resent: Coss, Colatrella, Moron, Sheller Shapar, J.

Mr. White brought up the possibility of surveying the student body on the subject of grades. Ms. Shapar suggested.·· that St. John's follow the example of other small colleges in abolishing grades and instituting a transcript with explanatory statements in their place. Mr. Coss and Mr. Holbrook suggested that the Student Committee on Instruction handl~ the matter. Mr. White proposed the following resolution: Resolved, that the Student Cammi ttee on Instr.uc tion examine the present grading system and survey student opinions about grades.

Tutors and their vives and husbands, and other members of the College community, are welcome to join. I am calling a meeti ng for Wednesaa, ev~ni.ng, January 24Yi, at 7:15 pm, iB the Great Hall. There I hope to find out whether we have a good number of willing singers, fairly equally distributed among the vocal ranges. If so, we shall settle on the day and time for t he weekly rehearsals.

I aa.going to give an informal talk on this subject on Tuesday, January 30, at 8:00 in the Great Hall: some history; Robinson's enlargement of the real number system to the so-called hyperreal numbers, a "nonstandard universe" of numbers; how to use hyperreal numbers, and where they come from.

ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND �6.,________________________, 47 WEST STREET ANNAPOLIS, MD 21401 30 1·269-1133 I don't suppose anyone needs a preview to decide to see this movie: DR STRANGELOVE Stanley Kubrick does all his own editing--still. When the f~ is all shot, he shuts himself up in his house with a regular old moviola as above, and starts cutting. Surprisingly for someone who loves it that much, his editing style is wonderfully restrained. Kubrick has, in fact, developed a kind of auteurism of unobtrusiveness (so rare that it calls a paradoxical attention to itself) that possibly accounts in part for his lessthan-deserved reputation in the "We're all individuals!" Seventies. To be fair, there is something also due to the relatively rare manifestations of his films. In this one the cutting is so smooth, the tempo so (dare I say perfect?) precise, that it's really hard to watch for signs of craft--you get caught up in the vision. And what a vision. You all know what it's about. This is probably one of Kubrick's most enduring and memory-plaguing movies. Strange things happen on cam~us when it is shown. People start doing imitations of Peter Sellers-qua-Dr Strangelove in the dining hall. The phrase "precious bodily fluids" crops up a lot in conversation. The particular upward shot of the mad general who first signals the holocaUKt is renowned in American films. Kubrick wrote the screenplay with Terry Southern, a totally mad Englishman with a real mean sense of humour (cf. ~ To Murder ~ Wi which is probably why this movie so exacerbatedly funny--that bei course, its most obvious charm. to Kubrick for letting the ideas b funny, and the filming be humouro without having them i n t erfere with ' other, turning it into a "madcap " 0 "zany" comedy.

We search for meaning, but will look no further than a can, a pipe, a pill, or a 'IM chanting guru from Berkeley. moments when we do look within ourselves we "self-actualize" or grow "self-assertive." Might the answer not be as .simple as the one proposed oy John Kiefer · to a group of Black Panthers who were seeking a reason behind the racial inequities of the . sixties? Then Dean Kiefer calmly asked the protesters, "Have you considered o_riginal sin?" Sin seems a tired concept for a fast-~ced age. It seems meaningless for a people who killed off God decades ago. To British essayist Henry Fairlie, sin is core of destruction which sits within each of us. Fairlie sees sin as a volatile mixture of an·-ta.bundance of self-love with a lack of love for others. He sees something wrong with a society in which virginity has become a taboo and lust is extolled as "sexual health." Along with The Joy of Sex (which, by the way, was aptly parodied by National Lampoon in a book entitled The Job of Sex), bookstores abound with titles such a~ I'm O.K., You're O.K., Looking Out for Number One, and The Zen of Running. There is little help or even solace to be found in the plethora of "self-help" titles which have sprung up in recent years. And while the help is not to be found, the self (ME, I' m the one) is making itself far too evident. The idea of "sin" is, Fairlie freely admits, definitely a Christian one. The notion of deadly sins was introduced by John Cassian of Marseilles, an ascetic who attempted to bring some of the rules of Eastern monasticism to the West. ·The list of sins as we know it today was arranged by Pope Gregory the Great, so that they would be '~ble to serve as a classification of the normal perils of the soul in the ordinarY conditions of life." 3 The seven sins, Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Avarice, Gluttony, and Lust, strike chords that lie deep within us. Fairlie sees them as a clear reflection .o f the way in which we build the self-filled holes of emptiness we can live in 50 easily. The Sins form an all-inclusive list of the ways in which love can be abused. Tbe first four are sins which come about through the absence of love, while in the latter t ,....ree· the love is misdirected. Fairlie's _book is an impassioned plea for love and fot lization that we do evil, that we commit wrongs which really do hurt ourselves as those to whom 'the evil is done. '1'b book is made up of a series of essays, one entitled "The Fact of Sin," one d ''The Paths of Love," and seven essays devoted to each sin. While some states put forth in Fairlie 1 s opening and closing essays are questionable, his moderncatalogue of sins has an intuitive rightness about it which is hard to dispute if is honest with oneself. e ''Of the roote of this sevene synnes, thanne, is Pride, the general roote of harmes," 4 says Chaucer's Parson, and Fairlie notes that it is perhaps indicative e vanity that we often cannot realize why Pride is counted as a sin at all. The 0 d English Dictionary gives, as its first definition of pride, not a constructive ~es teem, but rather "an unreasonable conceit of superiority ••• an overweening opinion ne's own qualities.~ It is this self-conceit which blinds us to our own capacities ove, as well as to our own need for community with others. Fairlie realizes that sin cannot be viewed in a society-less vacuum, that the oup in w hich a person l ives must influence his capacity to love as well as his tendcy to sin. Peopl es as well as persons s in. We live in a socie ty in which "Feeling od about onesel f'' has become a maxi m t o live by, and a psychology has arisen which ttempts to help us grati f y our needs. " Doing one ' s own thing" in order to " fe el good bout oneself" isn' t quite the answer. We can "feel good about ourselves" when intoxcated or perhaps even when simply being shallow. The soul narcissistically in search f "self-fulfillment" through "feeling good about itself" is visibly filled with a athetic sort of nothingness. "Of this roote spryngen certein braunches as Ire, Envye, Accidie or Slewth, Avaic e or Coveitise, Glotonye, and Lecherye." 5 The Seven Sins are woven together as ightly and invisibly as the web in which Hephaestus trapped Ares and Aphrodite. oes a "one ni~ht stand" refiu1t any less from a Pride which makes itself apparent in someone who is "looking out for number one" is not rooted in self-destructive Pride? s· is real. It is tangible. We see it in action, feel the effect it has on us, and unless we choose to close our eyes, we muat see the effect which it has on others. But just as sin cannot be viewed in a society-less vacuum, it cannot be found pied.Se exc.L.t:Se. rn~ -fov '1 n+~rr-up+ln3 ~a\n.. 1 ·rrs JUS+ fho..-t ... • • . �12 a Godless one. ·in Can secularized sin mean anything at all? "In their secUl.ari of everything else, the unbelieving must be careful not to secularize God." 6 could Fairlie possibly mean by a statement such as this? Throughout his book F 1 . wants to deny the existence of God while affirming the importance and integritya ~ 1 ie His wor~. He quotes theologians freely, b~t looks at them as though to them theo "l~gos".was ~1:-important a.i:d ~he."the~s" merel~ some vague sort of good feeling which lies withl.ll them. Fairlie is quick to point out the emptiness of most moder attempts at self-fulfillment. but without God the realization of the fact of sin n and the trip down the painful path to penitence becomes little more than another "self-help" therapy, one filled with flagellation and guilt. When looked at merel as a path to happiness, there is probably as much theraputic value in avoiding sin,y as there is in lying on a couch in Marin county while being incessantly stroked b ostrich plumes. y Fairlie is a regular contributor to The New Republic, and has previously writt essays on topics such as the rightful place of Gemininity in our society, our lack en of .he:oes, ~d ~Spoiled Child of The Western World. In The Seven Deadly Sins To Fairlie again takes the role of detached observer. In his preface he states, "I ho that I have avoided moralizing, but it is surely pointless to write of sin at all Pe if one is not prepared to speak strongly in moral terms." ? It also seems point-' les~ ~o write a plea for morality without any firmer ground than "love's incorrigibl ambition to transcend whatever is its immediate object. 11 .8 e To speak of .sin at all today is undeniably a courageous act, and Fairlie should be commended f~r attempting it. As in many of his earlier pieces (which are, by the way, certainly worth looking up) Fairlie strikes home often, and many of his images are vivid and memorable. In The ~ Deadly Sins Today, however, his position as world observer gets in the way. In his attempt to make.:us aware of our hedonistic "wel tanschauung" (world view), Fairlie fails to provide an answer to those who would say that in a Godless world, nihilism is the only logical route. Fairlie's plea will be treated seriously, but sadly, only by those who have already seen tha t however difficult, the path of love is the only one which one can follow. ' 1. 2. 3. 4.

Evidently, there is no barter. Miss Montemayor asked what ~be aims of the committee are. Mr. Coss suggested that Mr. Melcher, who was not present, draw up a charter for the SCI in order to be legal about the whole thing. Johnny Moron revealed that he has sent away to the circus company for info rmation about the environmental impac t of a circus upon St. John's. Mr. Moron brought up an issue which charmed Miss Wernette. He announced the formation of a St. John's Rifle Club. Membership is open Mr. Moron (because he is wearing a tie) is chairpro tempore, Mr. Bruaner is chancellor, and a host of exciting political offices to fill. The aim of this club (which is in writing) is to raise the military conciousness of St. John's. Civil defense is also considered an im~ portant part of the group's activities. Additional offices include the "King of Spain", the"Whore-monger", a "waterboy", a "make-up girl" a "court jester" a devil's advocate," a "cover star," and ' ' "f igurehead." Also, elections will be held every four weeks. Philanthropic ctivities include waxing all the doortops in Gampbell, spraying Lysol on the tele phones, street theatre in Annapolis, tc • The name 11Rifle Club" was ques ... ~oned by Miss Ross as being incompatible i th the apparently intended activities f the group.

There is some disagreement as to this being tradition. Miss Wernette reported on the fire in Humphreys on Saturday. She stressed the panic felt by her and other residents. Miss Wernette said that propm" emergency procedures were not followed due to ignorance and inexperience. Smoke detectors did not go off or were not heard. Miss Wernette suggested that the administration be informed of the dangers of fires an this campus. Mr. St. Amour suggested that np parties be held in any common rooms until Thursday's meeting with the administration about fire hazards. Mr. Coss, Mr. Van Doren, Mr. Hartzell, Mr. Weiss. Mr. Roach, Mr. Salter and Mr. Newlin were all interested in attending the Student Congress in Philadelphia in March. After a description of the Congress was given by Mr. Coss, the Delegate Council chose 5 out of the 7 nominees to attend. The lucky winners are: Mr. Hartzell, Mr. Weiss; Mr. Newlin, Mr. Roach, and Mr. Van Doren. Miss Wernette submitted her resignation. We regret her departure. ---submitted by Carol Colatrella D.C.

Miss Stuck read a list of suggestions put together by the residents of Humphreys after the fire last Saturday. The main areas of concern listed by Miss Stuck were the procedure to be followed in the event of a fire (i .e. should the guard be called, fire department, switchboard?) and the lack of fire education for. the students and the guards. Mr. Williamson and Miss Leonard mentioned additonal suggestions about this situation. The Assistant Deans would like to print a poster which would list the instruc- �14 tions to be followed in case of fire . Diagrams were suggested by Miss Wernette. They might make more of an impression. Anyone intereste d in de signing suc h a poster should see the Assistant Deans.

Two causes can be found for this near-death.. One is that students do not think: that they should regulate themselves .. Instead students rely on the Administration to police them and resolve their difficulties There is then little business for the Court The second cause is student attitude toward the Court itself Students have little respect for the Court's abilities Whether this attitude results from failings students or of the Court the effect is that few seriously consider a case to Polity Court As most disputes at St John 1 s can be the problem of maintaining an to cult disputes is not immediate to us So the Court has existed for years unused but untroublesome. It io a ridiculous practice to the Court for extreme cases however. Presently it is hard to know what is sufficiently extreme to warrant prosecution And even in the random cases when a complaint is made it is not clear that the Court can provide adequate solutions to extreme problems Here is the conclusion students do not regularly use the Court and its irre5ular use is a pretense of jmstice By this argument the Court ought to be dissolved C,3(,- 51 d.8 SPECIAL CONCERT Helen Stephenson, soprano Frank Conlon, piano TUESDAY Presentation on Alcohol in sation Room at 4:30 pm.

Given the existence of grades at St John s are call it realistic" It might be argued. that classes are conducted here in such a way that it is sible for students to do well and get good grades without having to compete detract from the quality of class discussions This is the unrealistic itude There is a limited amount of time in each class and only one student talk at a time In a manner of speaking, each student takes up a certain unt of s~ace in each discussion Whether a student will use that space his benefit only or for the benefit of both himself and the class depends his motive for speaking. If he speaks because he ho~es to make a good imession on the tutor he will necessarily a~proach the discussion with a set .tJOse and a closed mind, whether he is aware of it or not..

There he might stumble about; he will shine.. Neither can he take the chance of being completely open to what ther ·students have to say.. He might end up in the same place as if he would ere he to take a risk himself. What such a student must do, then, is restrict he ~ath of the discussion to a direction which is to his advantage. There e as many ways of doing this as there are students He may kee~ to the rrow road of well memorized, but superficially prepared demonstrations, and completed translation assignments, the content of whicu he may not have consiseriously.

Many who are concerned about their grades do not allow their concern to manifest itself in competitive beha~iour. There are enough students in every class however, who do They exercise a destructive influence which is extremely difficult to mitigate sufficiently Becctuse they assume positions of control it is impossible to deal with them on any but their own If not exist at St John s the number of students who school concerned about in class would tho0e It ---------------------~- �8 everyone.. At some times it is best advanced by talking in c.la..;;;s careful preparation of assignments.. At other times the process in confusion, entangled in a web of as yet unclear thoughts.

Grades can say nothing about this kind of learning It might be argued that grades are indeed intended only to be a reflection of the students overt behaviour in class I find it di to make sense ever of this Consider a class There is the whose contribution to the class lies mainly in his willingness and ability to translate demonstrate or find the passage in the text There is the student who speaks rarely but idaas when he does speak If the class is have a student whose most important contr.:_.l, ition is his sense of humor and gracious manner which set a tone for the clas ..:; and make the whole thing There is a 0tudent who never s~eaks in ,lass but who knows grammar or algebra well enough to teach it to students cutside of the classroom® This contributes directly to the work illi:3ide the cL1ss.. There is student who never tires of asking the simple but neceosary qu~~tions, which is a service to those whose egos, perhaps understandetbly lack t r.. c: atamina to do the same. I have had students like these in my clauses throue.::~ ut my four years here I owe all of them more than I can say. It is beyond me huw these various important contributions can be measured by a letter grade. It is important that in the creation story in Genesis the world is not created in one fell swoop. The creation of a world unfolds in time, it does not burst forth complete. People s~end their lives building worlds, ouilding what it is that they are. To use an old fashioned word, people are constantly building their characters, consciously or not. Young 1-'eople should be seriously committed to the thoughtful laying of the foundations of their worlds. The kind of learning mentioned above is a part of this labor.. St. John's claims to be committed to the thoughtful laying of such foundations. Such a commitment rests on learnin0 for the good of the individual, which is really learning for its own sctke, not primarily for the sake of anything "practical". In this respect, the commitment is a matter of honor. It was with this commitment and this sense of honor that St. John's made. a decision in 1937 to stand apart from the larger academic community~ We may say that honor is still held as a genuine standard here. But the meaning of the 1937 decision crumbles when we effectively present ourselves to the rest of the academic world (e.g. to graduate schools) as a school which gives grades and has courses like Early Mod. Pol. Thought (see the new transcr~~t). Graduate schools. do have recourse to other mans of evaluating ap~licants: test scores, reccomendations, transcripts with written evaluations. It would not be easy, but it would be right for St. John's to force graduate schools to use such means of evaluation. By g~ading its students, St/ John's undermines its commitment to the individua.l learning and building within a community.. It undermines the seriousness of the 1937 decision. We will always exist within the context of a larger academic community. How we orient ourselves in regard to it and what concessions we are willing to mctke to it indicate whether we are remaining true to ourselves.

The basis for my is to be found in Volume 41, No. 118, June 17, 1976 of the Federal The relevant regulation states: Sec. 99 . 21 (a) (a) An educational agency or institution shall, on request, provide an opportunity for a hearing in order to challenge the content of a student's education records to insure that information in the educational records of the student is-not inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation of ti.he privacy· or other rights of students.

If you want to return next year, accordingly, please make the appropriate arrangements with the Treasurer before April 2. The Treasurer will refund the deposit in case of withdrawal due to ill health ' . academic dismissal, or failure to enable. It will not be carried over in case a student decides not to enroll next year but to return the year after. Sincerely yours, i,tMWUi$·~nd.M. Leanore B.

Later Administrations lost sight of the ideals of the founding fathers, and instituted our present grading systern. Neither of these statements is true. We students from that "Golden Age" were graded in the conventional A-B-C-D-F manner, in every aspect of the program, just as the students now are. Mr. Barr and Mr. Buchanan no doubt had reservations about this grading system, as we all do. But they did not abandon it. They could not have believed that it was a"betrayal."

There is an exhibition of color photograph,- in the art galle:rs- eu.. titled En theos. En theos is the gre word meaning a god within' which has found its way into our la.nguag in our vord 'enthusiasm' • The pho.. 6 tographer, Charlotte Marine, has so entitled her exhibit because she deems enthusiasm to be the es .. sential force that compels the artist in the creati•e process. It is 'the god within' that blesses the artist and that in turn endows the artist's work with life. One easily detects that her enthusiasm is the common denominator underlying each of her photographs She has directed some of the light• falling upon each scene captured through a prism. Hence we see a rainbow falling upon every scene. This rainbow, an archetypal symbol in which we find a positive and generative meaning, impregnates each scene with a new life and proliferates a healthy glow upon the entire scene, even if it depicts a subject that is in a state of decay. Ms. Marine's enthusiasm finds its outlet in the use of the prism and in the rainbow it brings to her photographs. In them we behold her joy for life and in turn our ovm is stirred within us. Her efforts have proved to be successful. This collection of her work is very compelling and there are a few photographs that one finds difficult to cease viewing.

Stein 7 AN ATTEMPT AT SOME PERTINENT OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING ST. JOHN'S AND GRADING ing my matriculation at St. John's I learned its purpose - not before. Prior the abrupt revelation (I shall not say intrinsically shocking, though I was eked), I had thought that St. John's was an attempt to bring together young ds with the provocative intellects of our tradition, in order that they should nd their energies in philosophical pursuits, should be provoked to speculation, uld leap high on the energy of the confrontation. I was wrong; indeed, I could right; such a view is a lapse from the consensus ~reasonable expectation. the most respected members of the faculty, and someone who I also respect, luded me. He pointed-out to me that St. John's pursues the rather modest goal correcting previous mis-education; that it exercises its students in the trational disciplines of Grammar, Dialectic, and Rhetoric (the scholastic Trivium), the ur ose of the disci line; that it familiarizes (perhaps too cursorily, ertheless with necessary modesty) students with the western tradition, with ich they otherwise might have little contact. a little reflection will show how reasonable such a statement of purpose is; so little made explicit that it previously was uncognized on my part. (Wh'at..;. r else, I am not sleepy-headed regarding the clearly stated). It is not that I no inkling, merely that the crystalline apprehension that his words provoked ew a novel and profound light on the college. Of course!: that col.k:tion of inciples guided most all that I had seen of pedagoguery (good, bad, or indifferent} St. John's. Thus, there was a consensus. And given the character of the student and the gener~l intellectual and personal quality of the fa:c.ulty, n1..'"'ither nor gigantesque, it was a particularly apt set of policies. St. John's, by no means, is obliged to try to be an intellectual pai:-a; it can do good insofar 2.s it persists in the goals of providing a radically dial education; irideed, suc-h a service is necessary and may be i'i.11 that any ergraduate institution (as such) can provide. So far was 1 wrong., though I tempted self-correction, reconciliation, and the attainment of a itidre thoroughly , my purpose is no~ plli:llic r,o~trition. Rather, once having stated accurately he purpose of St. ,Jo;m • s, I nad hoped to clarify a few points recurringly at ssue Pray be paLi.ent, fo:c the first point seems most trite: St. John's is a llege, perhaps peculiar, yet not so set apart that it is holy - nor ought it be than a peculair colleq~. Nearly redundant, 'Ir anted, yet stated in way as to adoLess the fun.Jarnental misconception of chauvinists (and there and fanatic critlcs (and I nearly was one - I deny being one) alike. One reasons that the true b11sin-=:ss of the college is constantly obscured is that much of our propaganda and intramural "speechifying" stinks of piousness and lf-congratulation. Piety is, Rs ~t. Thomas tells us, properly directed towards r parents our country and our God. And self-congratulation is one of the Best manifestations of pride. A modest love for our school, a qualifie~ reverence :r what honest it stwuld possess, a gladness at the occasional app;c,aches made something like excellence ,~ these arc admirable sentiments. But to p~lish the tle "College as Paradisp" (?) as part of our promotional literature; to often llnd as if we really hGld all answers; to exaggerate our importance so much so that Udents often are guilty of being snotty to outsiders (friends I have in town;-for Ple;-at Chick & Ruth's, hate most St. John'sstudents for the recurrence of s trait) - all of that is unforgiveable.

Only Jascha Klein, when he was elderly, venerable, and "hamming-it-u could get away with it. On the other hand, tutors are rarely helpful in commentin on the structure of an argument in seminar, either contained within the book or ongoing among the participants, so that their students often have nothing pointedout about how one simplifies and makes more elegant an argument. Brevity is urged, but not conciseness. One is often expected not to speak in more than "one-liners", or perhaps several-line "quickies"; yet there often need be leisure to develop a useful point. Nevertheless, the same tutors who urge fanatic brevity may very well allow an interminable and flaccid discussion to continue without doing anything to sharpen it or to point-out how it may be sharpened. I do not mean to attack the faculty, for many of whom I have respect and even affection. I am attempting to point-out a problem, and some oft-encountered ways in which it becomes manifest; and that problem can only be countered and dealt-with by facing i t squarely. We must recognize that proficiency in argument cannot be counted upon, and that mere stress over four years~ the unfocused-on example; and a brief discussion of Aristotelian logic, will not be so effective in improving dialectical acumen as high standards of sharpness maintained skillfully and tactfully by tutors, self-conscio rigor, skill which modestly but decisively shows what impeccable attention to logi standarqs ·"looks like." Similarly, there is needed an attention to dealing with students as adults: the elimination of tendencies to get sore" at students who become intense in their convictions in seminar, mistaking it for "uppity-ness" and cantankerousness; to discourage students from daring to try to "fly speculatively" a little; to mis-understand the natural tendency of young adults to want to focus on.important .issUEs, sometimes to the exclusion of other duties, so that rather th wise counsel there is harrassment given them. These sorts of things, much more than revising the lab program or debating the merits of Plotinus, will better the school. And, by the way, things in thE lively world of ours, even institutions, do not for long stand static. They either become better or worse; I am suggesting that these long-standing problems had better be addressed, or I fear for St. John's Once, my sopho-.ore year, I broke (for the first time) an inhibition and published something in that classic ragamuffin, "The Collegian". It was a piece entitled, "Metaphysics in 1984: Is Big Brother Lovable?" The argument was that only an assertion of the transcendent, and therefore God, could answer O'Brians arguments for an immoral, totalitarian society based on the worship of brute force. Without asserting anything as to the merit of the piece, I wish to relate to you certain odd things surrounding that venturesome little piece. First, I became the object of anonymous abuse in several subsequent "Collegia..u~". 1 ' one directly argued wi me; not one point was directly addressed; nor were letter~ ridiculing me particula witty,nor signed. All well and good: so much for 1'_aplar. 's vision of Ste John's a the "Magic Mountain"* But the most significant occurrencE was when a tutor (who is, by the way, in many respects a fine person), asked me what had given me the right to write the piece. Now, evidently this was a on the tut:.ors part, fo surely I need have no excuse, nor special dispensation, to aroue a particular view point in a free publication. One could either have avoided i.i:., or read it; if one read it, one could either have substantially agreed or disagreed; if one disagreed, could eit.~er keep it to oneself or express disagreement; if one expressed disagre one could either respectfully address the issue in argument, or polemically addres the formal inadequacy of the piece in witty and frank attack. These are, evidentl the only options the tutor had, and it was a puerile disregard for courtesy and intellectual integrity for the tutor to belligerently demliu'lal1 in effect, "where I come-off" and "who did I think I was." It was unworthy, all the more so because the evident calibre of the tutor. Now, I went into this at such length in order to point-out that anyone knows, if they've"got any smarts", that the actions I've described are base; yet they occur:r II think, the article was unapologetically hold and passionate, and therefore breach of certain elements of the St. John's ethos, such as I have previously light. I cannot otherwise explain the shamelessness of such an intelligent tutor (whom I have taken pains to reveal nothing identifying about), t}le impudence of the anonymous letter writers. Again, I point out that frank intelligent attack I would've approved of; many people still present on campus attest that I rather enjoy "mixin'" or "gettin' down to it", in vigorous argu- dealt myself near to close, happily. Before I do, I want e a few remarks about the grading controversy, which will serve as a kind of one for my previous remarks; though it may not be immediately apparent,you only to reflect and the interconnection will become clear. shall we say of grades? They are patent]yabsurd, ubiquitous, and fraught with , regardless of content; so, also, are SAT's, "open admissions", and "Moonies". e arresting thing is that "open admissions", that is, the admittance of people utatively college-level curricula, without regard to preparation, falls into the Some means of adjudging the credibility, shall we say, of a candidate to some mic level of work, and weighing him against other candidates for a limited num-· >of openings, must be provided for. Now, the sense in which grades are evidently sensical is that they are not self-interpreting: one never knows precisely what mean, what they indicate concerning the concrete circumstances of a students r, or his interior worth. However, they signify something about aptitude for ishing as a player of the academic game. This may not be very important, and t seem particularly vulgar at St. John's. Yet, how are we to avoid this apsect We wish to apply to graduate school: surely they have the right, and even , to look over evidences of our competence at abiding by the terms of earlier es of study, which means see.j·/\'i ~well we ~ what is expected of us and peri t. For they, corporately and individually, will expect us to perform cerduties; if we have met a fat-head and been down-graded earlier, because we could get along, it will be balanced by the overly-kind upgrader, and each will be I~ \ t\\.

In any case, when we go to their school, we will meet bunglers and Sc. ,1ts, find things in the general constitution of the place to agree with, or with which to disagree, and we had best evidence a most basic capacity to adequately accomodate ourselves to the demands placed upon us, whatever noDler elements may subsist in our characters. Therefore, I say, grades are relevant, if soberly considered. Furthermo,_·e, in order that their relevance may be expediently manifested, they must be presented in a fashion most consonilllt with the capacities of understanding brought to their perusal. Thus, we say that "Mod. Pol.• Thought" is studie.I at St. John's~ This is no more of a falsification than denominating a course "Senior Seminar" and presenti a list of readings, precisely because neither says anything of the actual effort 0 the seminar (as a whole) or its individual participants, nor the insights gained (or lost in torpor at the hands of indifferent interlocutors)c In order to do just in any connnunication concerning this school, or any on~ of its members, God would need to explicate (from a position of omniscience) the concrete career of ts .at student; interiorly and in relation to a variety of lived experiences)to make sense of it, at least to sum-it-up; only He could be counted-on to have the requisite impartiality, access to the "full story", and infallible judgment.

Shapar 0 If St. John's students would be sufficiently committed to remain at this college without grades (a hardship, indeed, so far as the wider world would be concerned), then they certainly should be able to cast to the winds over-concern with what rniqh befall them in grading. Indeed, it is less arduous to get 'round mediocre grades than to ignore the requirements of application for graduate admission, and, thus, the requirements of living beyond St. John's. And this prick of the mundane, artfully admitted and ignored, reminds us that we've not really left the world, yet that we are not the world's bondsmen. - Minutes for the D.C.

Mr. Nau cited his experience as Waltz Party Archon and was subsequently approved by the D.C. Mr. Stein was then nominated by Mr. Coss on the recommendation of Mr. St. Amour. Mr. Stein cited his long history of participation in the AmeriCan justice system and student government specifically and was subsequently wii~drawn from nomination �14 Mr. by Coss. Mr. Coss nominated instead Mr. Hartzell who has already held the office of Polity Justice. Mr. Hartzell addressed the issue of the recent court case and the purpose of the Polity Court. Mr. Hartzell's nomination was approved by the D.C. Anyone interested in being Justice still has a chance. Submit a petition to the Justices and your name will be put on the ballot. Good luck! Mr. Carsiotis recommended that ~11 clubs date their records before turning them over to the archivist. Mr. Schuler requested some fire extinguishers for the Dorsey House. Mr. Carsiotis submitted a proposal for a punching bag matching fund. The total sum required for a fra~e for a speed bag is $108-$54 to be collected by Mr. Carsiotis and $54 from the D.C. There we:e 7 for, Q opposed and 5 abstentions in favor of the motion for ~ of the funds required to buy the speed bag. Mr. Melcher gave a report on behalf of the Student Committee on Instruction. He spoke about the purpose of the Commit- - - - TO THE MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT POLITY: I, David R. Stein, would like tc announce my candidacy for the office of Justice of the Polity Court. The Court's main duties are the supervision of Polity elections, and the administration of Polity Law. In both these areas I feel that I have ample experience. I have supervised many student government elections, including the election of a student representative to the Board of Educatioh of my home school district, and elections on the state, county and school wide levels of student government. I have dealt with scores of election complaints, and I feel that I can deal with any that may arise here. In the matter of Polity Law, I served as Assistctllt to the Polity Attorney for Legal and Parlimentary Affairs during the recent case of the Polity vs. Mr. Babij; working with tha Polity Attorney upon all phases of the trial, and assisting in the presentation of the Polity's case before the Court. I have considerable familiarity wii..th.the customary methods of procedure of both deliberative and judicial aasemblies, and _I look forward to sharing my expertise with the Court. I also tee in order to bring the sci in the lie eye. He recommended in addition the SCI publish a number of pamphlets (cost $7 for one 4 page newsletter) w would inform the community of the SCr1 progress. He estimated the SCI would probably publish about 7 issues each Mr. Coss recommended setting an amoun to be given by the D.C. to the SCI pr· ing project - the amount set was $49 The motion passed 10-0-2. Mr. Carsiotis introduced the subjec of the NORML party. Ms. Shapar was c cerned that certain security arrangem about the party were never made; her count corrected by Mr. Coss. Ms. Stuck asked that a proposal for new film system be discussed at this n D.C. meeting with the administration. Mr. St. Amour brought up the subject the Student Life Committee (Alias the Student Activities Committee) who will soon submit a charter. Mr. St. Amour said the Constitutional Amendments mittae had its first meeting. 0 submitted by Carol Colatrella have experience in the more human, as opposed to legalistic, side of complai proceedings, having served as chairman my previous school's mediation comrniss which dealt, as does our Polity Court, violations of student's rights and dest tion of property belonging to the stud body. The Court is charged with the respon sibility of rendering fair and legally correct verdicts concerning both electi and Polity law. I feel that if it is t wish of the Student Polity; I can make valuable contribation to the Court's d. charge of this vital task. I support Dan Van Doren as candidate Polity President. He's had experience a ~ustice over the past year, and I was impressed by his presentation, in this capacity, to the Delegate Council of th Justice's report and decision of the re cent trial. He spoke clearly and compl ely, as he does in the classes we have together. I think he's quite capable o handling the duties of a president, and can add a lot to our government.

Three tutors have contributed price of an annual subscription Press. criticisms that have been urged inst the transcript are 1) that p.A., average G.P.A., and class rank ed on the G.P.A. should not be inded in the transcript, and 2) that transcript too boldly presents itf as an accurate picture of the St. 's education, which it definitely not. The Joint Instruction Commit' meeting in Santa Fe on March 11, sponded to these criticisms. The new licy is the following: A second supplement will be annexed to the transcript. It will speak about the meaning of the G.P.A. at St. John's and on it will appear a Student's G.P.A., the average G.P.A. at St. John's of his class, and his G.P.A. rank in class unless he exercises an option either not to have this information disclosed or to have it disclosed only at another institution's request. A letter given to each senior seeking a transcript will inform him of these options. A stamp will be made that says "See Supplement", and the G.P.A. box on the transcript will be stamped whenever a transcript is sent out. ..

The Same Fe campus, now in its fourteenth year of operation, is a twin of St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland, established in 1696. The faculty is shared by both campuses, and the students are granted open transfer privileges. There are no majors and no electives; the curriculum is allrequired. Transfer students are accepted only as freshmen. Enrollment at each campus is very limited. The present curriculum was established in 1937 under the direction of Scott Buchanan and Stringfellow Barr, two of the most inlluential and inspiring "Mr. Chipses" of the century. They believed that men could only bC free who had been educated in the and human, aru," the " The result of ~7 r years. In addition, more intensive study was provided for in daily rials (professors are called tutors, regardless of degrees, and students and rs always address each other by their proper names) in language and hematics. The latter covered Euclid, Ptolemy, and Copernicus, and went to Newton and Lobachevsky. The four years of language study consisted a year each of Greek, Latin, German, and French. In addition to these two arials, biweekly laboratories were established in which the history of entific thought, from measurement to the atomic theory, was tl"aced. ~t~ these classes was lecture; all of them depended upon student partion. A series of weekly formal lectures, given on diverse subjects by robers of the faculty or visiting authors, scholars, poets, and scientists was rted, always followed by a long and often severe question period. The ege itself was kept mostly residential ;n the hope that it would become a rnmunity of learning." The experimental atmosphere of the college remains. Since the new gram began, many changes have been made on the basis of experience innovation. A music tutorial has been added to the sophomore year, ·n and German have been dropped from the language program, and, of , the list of the great books that are read is being constantly questioned, mented, and revised. Preceptorials replace the seminars for a few during the junior and senior years in an attempt to stablilize the ely rapid pace in which the books are covered. In these preceptorials, y held at the tutor's home, the pace is relaxed and informal. The dents are thus given the opportunity to look more closely at a single book a single concept in several books. In short, St. John's is a four-year exploration of beauty-the beauty of tradition. The path of this exploration is limited only by time; there ly isn't time to explore the entire territory, to encounter the whole of 'tion. But that isn't the goal. The intention of the college is merely to n a process that can never be ended. The means to that goal are the great ks, the high points in the history of man's search for himself. The ended result is that each individual, by recapitulating that search, will r know himself. The question that arises is whether or not these ideals are actually put into ctice in the particular "community of learning" that is St. John's. The swer is a qualified affirmative. There are many facets of the program which at best only partial successes and which lose the flavor of dismal failures y when compared with similar endeavors at other contemporary itutions of learning. Pedantry is not unknown at St. John's. But on the le, the goal of the college (which Barr and Buchanan and many others nsider to be the only relevant goal of education) is actualized. The means to this goal are and must remain experimental, however, until the best of them -.re found. The elements of this experiment-the students-are notoriously unconventional. Many are transfers or dropouts from other colleges who e unable or unwilling to function in what is today considered a "normal" lege atmosphere. Their backgrounds are extremely different, and they in their individuality after they come to St. John's. There are no 'fraternities or soronties, no organized activist groups, and only an ~bryonic student government. Because of the size of the student Cliques, if there are any; are amorphous. Conversation, intrinsic the program, 1s the basts of all student-srndent and student-administration c~mfrootations, In keeping with this, both the students and the administrahandled on an mdividual tion are extremely responsive.

Gessner/Suite 661, Houston, Texas 77036 THE COLLEGIAN St John's.College Annapolis, MD 21404 Several people have expressed an interest in typing their own COLLEGIAN submissions. This is very helpful to us, so naturally we encourage it. However, these guidelines must be observed: a) An "elite" (12 characters to the inch) typewriter with carbon-film ribbon must be used. The smaller type saves space, and the carbonfilm ribbon gives a sharp, easily printable image. b) Lines must be single-spaced, and each line must be no longer than 39 spaces wide (about 3~ inches). c) Corrections must be made with a correction fluid ("white-out"); or simply retype the line: we can cut out mistaken lines, but we can not fix bad corrections. d) Use standard white typing paper (that is, no onion skin, treated paper, or lined paper). If you don't have the materials to follow these guidelines, you can use the COLLEGIAN equipment; to do so, contact Sean Ball or Alison Athey.
