Corps Assigns Trainee To Africa
"More than t,ooo teachers have been requested for Peace
Corps projects· in Africa, Asia, and Latin America." Beth
Carey, Class of '62, answered this call and volunteered her
:;ervices as a Math teacher.
Although applicants may always
apply for a sp«ific assignment
in a specific country, Mi.<S
Carey had no preference about
where she would like to work. She
has, therefore, been assigned to
the African country of West
Cameroon.
In a recent interview Miss
Carey supplied the information
that "Cameroon · is a newly inde·
pe,ndent country next to Nigeria
and not too far from the Congo."
She feels that in this location she's
"bound to be in the midst of very
exciting things, as well as teach·
ing the leade.rs of a young coun·
try."
The training for her Peace Corps
service will begin June 9. She has
not yet been informed where
she has to report for the intensive
effort to learn all she can about
the language, customs, and background
of West Cameroon, where
she expects to spend two years of
service.
A Peace Corps directive de·
scribes something of what will be
Miss Carey's life as a teacher in
high school. She "will work alongside
teachers from the host coun·
try. In all cases, Peace Corps
teachers participate in the full life
of the school and community-
Beth Carey, '62
engaging in extracurricular activities
that may range from ath letics
to h~tn~icr~ft. from rlr.~m:~tics anrl
music to 4-H clubs and adult education."
"Since high school I have been
interested in the work of UN·
ESCO and other such organizations.
Furthermore, I love teaching."
Thu~, Miss Carey explained
her reasons for devoting her services
to the ·Peace Corps. She feels
that she is also satisfying her "love
of adventure" by venturing into
the new and patriotic profession.

The seminar group began by
considering the situation existing
in the United States today. A.
brief survey was also given of the
situation as it developed in Europe
from the beginning of Chris·

is now discussing the philosophical

Gleaner Focus: AMERICANS FOR DEMOCRATIC ACTION
Will the group known as the
Americans for Democratic Action
renew their support of Alger
Hiss? This is one of the questions
ra.ised as a result of the controversy
resumed by former Vice
President Nixon's newly published
book, Six Crises. 111'e AD A.
had, in the person of Mrs. El~nor
Roosevelt, actively worked
a g a i n s t Whittaker Chambers,
whose testimony was instrumental
in convicting Hiss as a spy and in
bringing about his removal from
versy among thinking people, especially
in a college or other place
of learning, to be shunned?

Dear Editor,
The lut edition's letter to the
editor about the direction of our
Gl~autr seems to me to pinpoint
ideas which many feel to be true
without having actually said it in
so many words. I think I can
honestly say that with tl>e release
of almost every edition of the paper
this year I've heard some
highly complimentary rem:a.rks (in
enthusiatic tones) about the eye·
c a t c h i n g appearance of the
Gleauer: its news-type articles,
its wit, and interest-snatching
write-ups. On this account, the
staff certainly deserves praise and
credit.
Many agree, however, that after
the lirst chuckles and quick glancing
at the headlines, when you've
read most of the articles, you begin
to notice that all is not so rosy.
There seems to be an awful lot of
"down-grading" for a Nazareth
publication. This is not necessari
ly in any one particular issue
(unless it be the exceptional
"April Fool Edition") but uther,
br Ann Wood•
office.
This campaign is but one of
many that the A.DA has endorsed.
Since its conception as an organization
in 1947, the group has professedly
been in favor of recogni·
tion of Communist O>ina. It
would like to see that nation admitted
to the UN. It also is in
favor or the exclusion of Spain
from the UN. ln 1958, at the
height of the recession, the group
was recorded in the Congrtssional
Digm as promoting the idea of an
unbalanced budget to increase the
buying power of industries and
in a group of any two or three is·
sues. Perhaps this is not the fault
of the staff alone and maybe, the
easiest way to raise a laugh is to
be critical.
May I suggest: since the Gltaner
is our college newspaper, since it
is to represent what we are, that
we give to it what we want it to
be, a representation of student
suggestions and positive ideas.
Le-st it become a "sophisticated
gripe-sheet," let's strive to make
it the means of student expression.
It should reflect us as we are.
Surely we don't altuayJ walk
around here frowning!

Dear Editor,
I am more and more favorably
impressed with each new issue or
the Gltantr. The discussion of
such vital topics as the U.N. Bond
Issue and the Common Market is
very gratifying and the interviews
are most interesting. I would
like to support your collegiate
humor. I fail to see harm in your
editorial cartoons such as the one
spooling fisher. Editorial cartoons
of this type ore not malicious and
are the prerogative of the edi-consumers.
The Americans for Democratic
Action characterize themselves as
being "neither a party, nor part of
a political party.'' However, other
sources report that the organiza·
tion "considers itself the conscience
of the Democratic Party."
A.nd while the support of the
ADA. has not b«n entirely unwelcome
in the ranks of tbe Democratic
Party, prior to the 1956
Presidential election the faction
w a s considered dangerous to
party unity. Since then their ef.
forts have been less publicized and
largely ignored. Only recently was

the commendable job you are

Five Delegates Attend
Mock Senate in Albany
"Mr. Chairman, I move that ... " These words prefacc<i some of
the statements made when N azareth College was represented at the
twelfth annual intercollegiate Mock Senate. Nazareth delegates were
"senatocs" Eileen Kane and Sand1·a H11ber, '64, and Gail Bristol, Mary
Barrell, and alternate Mary Ann O'Neill, '65. A total of 170 students
from 28 colleges in New York State attended the meeting which lasted
from April 12 to 15.
Tht' delegates were welcomed
by Mayor Corning of Albany. The
convocation address was followed
by balloting for president, in
wbich Mr. Thoma.s Flood was
elected. Mr. Flood is a member of
the senior class at St. John Fisher
College for Men.
Party assignments were made
and N azareth drew membership
of the Minocity Party. Based on
the workings of the true Senate,
committees were ordered and established.
A roll<all of the legislators
showed Eilen Kane, Finance
Committee; Gail Bristol, Judiciary
Committee; Mary Barrett, Education
Committee; Mary Ann
O'Neill, Internal Affairs Committee.
Sandra Huber acted as sec·
retary f o r t h e Transportation
Committee.
Eileen Kane felt that .. attending
the Mock Senate was a very
satisfying experience for al l the
delegates. It gave us an opportunity
to participate in the work·
ings of the government of New
York State, especially since all the
bills passed by the Mock Senate
·were sent to Governor Rocke·
feller."

by an agency to interview highschool
dropouts. P a I 811/mer,
Ma•-y Pane and Pat Ro11ey began
work in February, along with Pat
Bellini who have since d iscon-tinued
the interviewing.
Parents and youths arc ques

attitudes and values of those lacking
a high school d iploma. Special
emphasis is placed on employment
aspects. From a random sampling
of the youth in Rochester, it is
determined what types of work
they can do and what they are doing.
The interviews are taped and
the information is coded by Naz.
areth sociologists and people from
other groups. Mary Pane com·
ments that, "for those going into
social work, the exprience in in��terviewing
and coding is invalu·
able. Also, many erroneous opin·
ions of people and their environ·
ment are cleared up."

students.
The objects of this renovation

Belafonte Rejects 'Folk' Label
by Mary Ann Wheeler
ln an interview for the Gleam:r, Harry Belafo11te, internationally
known for his renditions of folk music, rejected the
title of folk singer, at least as applied to such "classics" as Josh
White and Leadbelly. "I happen to be a performing artist," he
said, naming folk songs as his main source of material.
The "performer" side of Bela·
foote was very evident during' his
RoChester engagement at the Eastman
Theater, Apdl 24-26. He is
a very professional showman, sensitive
to both bis material and his
audience. Johannesburg-born Mir·
iam Makeba complemented Bela·
foote, carrying a siuble portion of
the show in a unique, flexible
style.
Belafonte named the Library of
Congress as the m:Un source of his
reperto;re, mentioning also his
children, international fr iends, bar
roo!JIS and prisons. "! can't really
say there's any material I like to
sing best, .. he explail)ed. "I sing
all the material I like, whether it
falls into the c.ategory of West
Indian music, music from Israel,
American Negro music or any
other. It al l depends on the par·
ticular song and how it appeals to
me."
Touring different parts of the
world in alternate years, Belafontc
Bela/onte
performed in Europe in '58,
America in '59 and Asia and the
Soviet Union in '60. Future plans
for the versatile singer-actor include
making two movies-a musical

WONDERFUL WORLD OF WORK
The semester has ended, and
once again it is that time of year
when flowers start to bloom, when
convertible tops go down and
when students invade the labor
force.
Time and time again J have ex·
perienced the inj ustice o'f the
wodd of work. It has become
common policy for intelligent,
capable students to be employed
in menial .occupations at minimum
wages. College students, listen to
my plea!! How long are we go·
ing to let this injustice prevail ?
On campuses throughout the
United States, a spirited group of
young people has founded a new
organiZAtion in reaction to this
treatment by the capitalistic soci·
ety. The "Students' Manifesto,"
creed of the organ ization, was
written by Carol M11rx (U of
SSR) and her associate frederica
Angles. The following is a presentation
of the fundamental ideas
of this document:
By using the historical method,
we have observed the constant conflict
between student workers and
the capitalists. This bas also been
referred to as "the credit seekers
vs. tbe status seekers." After four
years of conRict, student workers,
victorious in their struggle against
capitalists, become the new capi·
tal ists, (This is known as synthesis.)
With the rising of new class of
students, the struggle is repeated.
Murx has proposed a classless
society in which all " 'Ork and profits
will be shared, in which all
will be equal, be they freshmen
or seniors.
'When you are loolting for work
this summer, think of what I have
s:Ud and look forward to seeing
this new organizat ion on campus.
On the Turntable: 'West Side Story'
by Lucyanne Conte
Perhaps the term best aescribing
Columbia's sound tract recording
o f "West Side Story" is
"dynamic." The exciting combination
of Leonard Bernstein's music,
Stephen Sondheim's lyrics aod
Johmty Grtm'J orchestral direction
weaves a perfectly unified
production that seems to sweep
the listener along with its vitality.
Un ;<I ue Solo R a.n.dling
"Maria", sung by Tony (Richard
Beymer) and "One Hand,
One Heart," done by Tony and
Maria (Natalie Wood) are tender
love songs with the lyrical tension
that lends them such individuality.
Even the much-discussed and repeated
"Tonight" has ao orches·
tral accompaniment unmistakably
dynamic in tempo and rhythm. By
the way, don't be surprised if
"Something's Coming" Cor Richllfd
Beymer. His voice is well
suited to the pan and he docs an
excellent job throughout.
Anita (Rita Moreno) is a
standout in "America." She gives
the electric rhythm and melody an
exhuber~nt rendition that won't
soon be forgotten. Riff (Russ

Tamblyn) and Bernardo (Ac~derny
awa.rd-winning George Chakiris,)
while not ha.nd ling leading
singing roles, help keep the
Sharks' and Jets' numbers at their
vital and powerful best. The "Jet
Song," and "Cool" are forwardmoving
wit.h an overpowering
beat, while "Gee, Officer Krupke"
is a half-hilarious, half· pathetic
mockery of juvenile delinquency.
One of the highlights of this
recording is the quintet, "Tonight,"
with Tony, Maria, Anita,
Bernardo .and Riff. The contrasting
styles, rhythms a.nd melodies seem
to typify the tender, wild, uncerta
in drive that is "West Side
Story."
11te "Prologue," ''The Dance
at the Gym" and "The Rumble,"
are orchestral crescendoes of tension
and excitement that hardly
need lilm to render them more
vivid or graphic. The listener feels
caught up in the starkness or
gaiety of the moment almost in·
stantly.
In its. entirety, "West Side
Story" is a fascinating texture of
emotions, social problems, and
tragedy Rung out against the uncompromising
background of New
York City.
The sound track record.ing will
make you wait impatiently to see
the film production, and having
done so, the recording will gain
greater appeal.
