1 t Yesterday's convocation in the arts conter auditorium provided an
opportunity for the nazareth college community to mmet fol' discussion
L of major collejle Issues. Following introductory remarks by sister helen
malone. college president, doctor virginia radley. dean. acted as
moderator. The panel Included peter barry. chairman of the board of
~ustees: james hickey, member of the board: sister stella rejlina.
director of admissions; t o. James. treasurer: sister jane keonen: miss
diana Iauria. assistant dean of students: and joseph baranowslti. director
of the arts center.
Dean rodley noted the role of nalllroth as a component of the large
i<!nre of private hbetal arts collejles. She mentioned that nazareth's
P<obfems are similar to those of all such college In that they result from
external pressures incklding the deteri«ating economic situation jn
1meriea. While diversity In higher education is healthy. these pressures
ore forcing colleges to lose their identity. This is exemplified by the
seculari•ation of church related institutions and the growth of small
universilies into larger ones. Doctor redley further stated the importance
olcepitalinng strengms. since no liberal arts college can 'be all things to
all people.' The college must raise its teaching load, promote excellence
.n teaching ralMr than research. and 'eut f'fiiiS 'Nithout cutting into the
fabric.'
Sister stella regina descubed the declining enrollment in private
colleges. portlelly due to american economy. as well as the ·exciting'
anriculums of many Stlte universities. For example. private colleges in
new york state lost 33,000 s1Udents lasl year! To date, nal8reth's
-lieations for next year have increased 1" as compared to last year.
at this time.
As a member of the 'inter-institutional eooperation committee·. sister
jane koanen omphaslzed that a collejle can not be suooesslul only
through cooperation. The Institution must be valuable in itself so thai
eooperative enrichment can provide more for what already exists.
As arts center director Joseph baranowski reminded those present
that it is unusual for an eastern liberal arts college to have such an
active arts center, because of close proximity to new york city. He
stressed i ts role as a tool for amplifying academic programs while using
the curriculum to educate people on arts center events. He described
tho challenge offered by tho four year old center's attempt to balance
campus noods end additional programs. Including tho importance of
community cooperation 8S 8 subsidizing factor.
Several students expressed concern regarding faculty attrition. Or.
radloy replied that with decreased mobility the college job market is
extremely limited. nollng that 350 applications were teceived by the
naureth english department, (no positions were available) while 200
applied for one spanish deparlment opening. Thus. she sees no problem
in keeping good teachers. especially since procedural factors are made
c:lear before any contracts are signed. In agreement with aaup
{american assoctauon or university professors) demands. even members
of overstaffed departments can not be relieved without sufficient notice.
In response to complaints concerning 'infantalitation' of students.
board cherrman peter berry replied that he was troubled slnce 'people
still make deciSIOns for me.' ching his own experience as a president
with a board of directors. He felt it rmportent not to equate subjection to
decision mai<rng by others wnh being a chold Srster eileen of the history
department agreed wuh students wanting to make immediate decisions
over mat1ers affecting thetr lrves by structure, not by invitation. •
Once agaon. trme dod not permit all interested people to speak.
However. dr radley offered an appropriate summary by mentioning the
evolutionary process through w!>och nalllreth is going. (This will be
doscussed by dr. redley on the 'croosfire' television program. monday at
9 p.m. The metamorphasos from a 'girls' school to a women's college'

Sociologist Discusses
Modern Sexuality
By mld· 1970 there will be 3.632.000.000 people in the world and
the projections on population for 1985 indicate that this will swell by
another one and one-half billion people. Nortll america. including
ceneda and the unoted states. accounts for only 228 million of this
fogure. while asia accounts for 2.874.000,000. For more than a decade
the united states of america has invested large sums of money into
population control programs in asia as well as south america. All these
progrema are unsatisfactory and have not provided the necessary
control r~ the ever bvrgooning ove•·populatior• of thtsstS countrue-5 us
we have lacked the specific know1edge in disseminating information on
birth control and in following this information up with the appropriate
patient care. More effort is being made to circumvent these problems.
but at the end of 1969. population in south america and asla was
growing at a rate slmilar to that wt>en all these programs began.
In america, family planning programs were designed mainly to
ottrect women of lower soci.,.economic status wt>o had found difficulty
In limiting family siz:e. But. n~w in america. the population crisis dictates
that we recognize the need for curtailing family size on a national basis
at all income levols. Coincident with this need is the awareness that we
have not adequately educated our population In the anatomy and
physiology of reproduction. nor have we given them the necessary
psychological back·up to deal with problems of their sexuality. Before
we can attempt to stem the population ex.plosion in the united states.
we must return to the basics of implementing a program of family life
end sex education be it a psychodelic commune or a ' straight' family
unit. As physicians. we have probably been remiss in giving the
necessary training at an early age to facilitate appropriate gender
lndentity from which would emanate love. understanding. and
tesponsibility not only for one's actions but for the actions of others.
Contemporary sexuality among today's youth may appear to older
people as a horrid new permissive outlook where sexual expression is
unlimited in 1ts scope. We have argued. however. that thjs may actuaJiy
be an open expres$k)n of sexual practices that have always existed.
However. due to ignorance on topics of anatomy and physiology. the
youth of today ere haveing sexual relationships wt>ich seem to be
devokl ol love. respect and responsibility. In reviewing some two
hundred or more eases of illegitimate prej)nancy ansing from college
age females and younger. we are able to ..,.. me deep psychological
maladJuttment that has beset these females and has been parually
responsible lor !herr predrcemenL The hal8rds of their sexual aCIMty
has rea~lted in increasing rates of venereal disease and. as mentioned
prevoously. Illegitimate prej)nancy. The increasing incidence of venereal
dise1se is 1n excess of what one might expect to encounter with an
increased population and indicates that there areincreased numbers of
ind1viduats having sexual relations with increasing frequency among
increasing numbers of partners. The detection. treatment and
prevention of venereal disease has also been hampered by failing to
bring information about 1hese disorders to the campus rather than
having the cempus seek the information itself.
Illegitimate pregnancy. the great stigma of society. is now more
than ever unwanted because of our over-population. Many of these
offspring are born only to be raised in a meaningless environment where
society finds little time to devote to proper upbringing or education.
Contemporary sexuality will be discussed by dr. john tyson of john
hopkins university at nazareth on opri120. Sexuality and gender Identity
have a most important rolo to play in one's life from earliest childhood.
This lecture deals with current attitudes toward sexual identity as h
relates to premarital relations. marriage and family life off and on
campus. It avoids the moral and religious questions of sexuality and eals
solely with tho social as.pects. Time is given to describe the menstrual
cycle. contraception and sterilization in its broadest terms.

Dear friends- we do indeed live in ntraO<dinary times. An era when
men. to be men must also become heroes. The resistance in southeast
asia is strong and growing stronger. And the vietnamese people. OO<th
end south are asking you to join the struggle. It Is fa< us to lind ways to
end the spiraling tragedy of the people of indochina. And it is lor us to
set aside selfish concerns. to develop a rhetoric of action in accord with
the sacred principle• behind which we cower.
1 have talked with. and more importantly. have been with people who.
though now powerless to stop the killing. have felt the real tragedy of
vietnam. Yes. dear friends. it is all true. I learned no facts - no more
than regular followers of chomsky. C<Onklte and reston already have.
Now, though. all the fogures are real. It Is true that american pacification
means the herding of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians into
exploding urban areas. Men. women and children are le<ced to live like
pigs. fe<oed to bece<ne entirely dependant on american personells this
'self·determination?' There are now 400.000 prostitutes in the city of
saigon alone: how degene<ate we say. but What is lehfl How are people
to 11.1rvive. There are no jobs. there ia no hope. But What of the rural
aren where these people are le<cibly removed from?. Everything is
destroyed: after all, only oa<nmunists live in the countryside. The policy
of the united states government all over southeast asia. yes. in
cambodia and laos. is a policy not aptly described as genocide. Rather.
it is biocide: the systematic destruction of all life and all potential for
life. Not only are all the people killed. but also the animals. the vegetation
Is destroyed. tho water is poisoned. Surprising. what chemical defoliants
can do. Just good o ld american know-how. Peasants in tho

bombing missions a day over laos. that natlon has now become the.
most heavily bombed nation In the hlatorv of the we<ld. We have
dropped me<e bombs over laos than -re dropped on all fronts during
wa<ld war II. Women are giving birth to monsters. children have
contracted diseases no one can diagnose. and go on dying undatected
by the constant electonic eyes of the B-52's.
Through an this. a relhott<able people suMves and hopes. The
vietnamese bear americans no ill will. They want only that the war
machine stop is bloody task. We are confronting people who will not
give up. Victory. as we have known it before. can come only when all
the people are destroyed. But this stands to reason- if we are f~ghting
a 'people's war'. we can win only if we kill all the people.
Protest means little today - to anyone. Perhaps. because we use
only words. What moan these angry words of dissent? 'End the war' we
say: 'we are' says nixon. The absurdity of words. How can i explain to
you? When i say 'end the war." I mean atop the killing. When nixon says
he is ending the war. he means bfinging a few americans home.
widening the war and prole<oglng the killing. When nixon says he's a

In response to questions concerning building prolects on campus.
g ... n.r recelvod the following answers from t.o. james. treasurer:
1) Are there any plans lor
enlarging dining halls or building
new ones71f so. when?
Up until very reeentJy ouf plan
was: a) to enlarge and connect
lourdes and kearney dining halls
with a major addition extending to
the south of lourdes hall. b)
oa<nbine both lourdes and kearney
serving arees into one maior area
In this eddition. c) improve the
kitchen facillteis. These changes
were based on the fact that within
the very near future our total
resident population would go.from
7 50 to 9 t 5. Because we are
unsure how quickly this will come
about - have now decided to
make these changes in stages.
The first stege, Which we have
just completed. consisted of the
new seMng line in lourdes. the
new dishwasher, additional
kitchen equipment and the new
dining tables located in the
lourdes lounge. Phase 2. Which is
still in the planning stage and has
not been approved by the board of
trustees. consists of a new serving
line for kearney end additional
changu In the kitchen and a
possible passageway from
kearney to loudes. We hope to
begin work on this phase this
summer. Phase 3. a major
expansion of the dining area, will
have to walt for student
enrollment trends to develop.
Thete are additiontl problems in
this area. especially in the lourdes
and poplar lounges and in the
ereedon of a suitable entrance for
passenger drop-oK. particularly lor
the area near tha health center.
Because of the new road. What
used to be the rear of the college
is now the main entrance. We are
currently studying the problem.
2) Are there plans for building
more dorms?
In the event there is need fOf'
additional dormitories due to a
greater change in trends Whereby
more studen ts wish to live on
campus we would, of course. give
consideration to constructing new
residence hall1.
3) What Is going to be done
with old o'connor?
This building was originally
planned as a tempe<ary dO<mitory
to beCO<ne a faculty offiCI building
later and nemed carroll hall.
Because of the necessity for
cutting bad< in so many ways this
year we are going to deley a year
before converting to office space.
41 When will work on the new
chapel begin?
When we have sufficient funds.
We now hava only a little better
than half the funds required.
5) What is causing the delay on
the chapel?
The contractor's bid for the
chapel was 7 5" higher than was
estimated. This meant that we
either hed to reduce the size of the
project. delete part of the project
or go out IO< edditionol funds. We
are currently pursuing the third
option.
6) Are there any plans for new.
extension of. or improvement of
academic buildings?
Our number one priority at this
time is the desperately needed
library expansion. There are no
finalized plans as yet but one
option would be to expand into
the lower level classrooms and
chapel spece. This. as you can see,
would depend on the chapel
plans.
7) How do you plan to fill the
empty roa<ns in kearney and the
other dO<ms7
We plan to attract as many
qulllifled resident studants as
possible.
Bl What is going to happen to
carroll hall?lopuy?
Carroll hall is up for sale. We
would l llke to have lepuy
renovated ne.r year but we do not
know whether this will be
possible. in Which case It would be
used for something else.
9) New o'connor - Why such a
beaubful. extravagant lounge?

German Year:
a bitter-sweet
success
by annemarie vorrasi
The activities of the cultural affairs committee have been focused on
the specific theme of the 'gorman year'. The feature of this new
orientation was to present events stemming from the german culture.
that could relate to class room study and arts center activity in order to
tstablish the arts center as a unit of education.
Unfortunately the enthusiasm with which the program began did not
remain consistent. Mr. baranowski says that the program was not as
beneficial as it could have been because 'there was not a genuine
Interest and not enough people turned out for the events.·
In order for such a program to work says baranowski. ·a vibrant
center' is necessary. A committee or a strong individual is essential to
stimulate response to activities and oversee them. The arts center staff
becomes too overworked with incoming shows to devote the time
needed for the success of such a program.
The positive side of the german year was that there were things
accomplished: two german plays have been performed so far and
there have been a number of films and lectures keeping with the
german theme. Tho fact that the faculty participated in the german year
enhanced its effect The night of german poetry featuring francesa guli
and vlada sabalis enabled the two faculty members to ·address their
talents to a specific issue.·
Next year a program similar to the german year will be planned. one
following a specific theme. Says mr. baranowski. •it will be directed
more to the nazareth community rather than the area schools and entire
rochester community. Approaching the program from StJch a broad
scope tends to weaken its aims..'
"The new approach will entail less events so that the required time
can be devoted to each. A particular sense of commitment rather than a
general one is necessary for such an idea to be successful. Various
departments will be asked for help in supplying background for the
lheme. The program is likely to work out of the theater department
rather than the arts center itself.'
The next event scheduled for the german year will be bertolt brecht's
threepenny opera to be performed by t_he drama club on april 30- may
1. 2.4-8.
Hopefully the theme chosen for next year will stim\'late a consistent
enthusiasm on the part of faculty and students and enable mr.
baranowski to find his ' vibrant center· so that this unique approach to
education and entertainment can be maintained.

that interest in long-ha i ~ music is
dead.

Menihan .Exhibit
Reviewed
Through the month of march local artist john c. menihan exhibited his
recent works in the lobby of the n&lareth art center. Mr. menihan has
been elected to the national academy of design. the american
watercolor society. and the society of american graphic artists. He has
taught at the university of rochester and at the memorial art gallery.
On the whole his paintings a.re
at once forceful and delicate in
terms of the mood they create. His
style is very loose and his colors
are bright. The most successful
pieces in his show seem to be
those that are limited in both
pallette and design. The chief
objection is that at times the
paintings tend to be overworked.
The artist's talent in creating
mood is best captured in Ma cliff
and beiiCh flare. Giving an airy.
spontaneous first impression,
menihan's sea cliff reads as an
intense and lyrical balance of
color. This painting comes off best
when viewed from a distance.
However. i t is difficult to
determine which of the shapes is
the actual cliff. since both the
yellow and olive areas could be
either rock. or water. This interplay
is heightened by the translucent
yellow circle at the top right hand
side of the painting. It is balanced
by one massive orange space and

is a fragile quality achieved in
paint which is. reminiceenc of

Beach flora is a very strange
painting and it seems much more
dynamic than others in the show
because of the misty mood it
evokes. Though the artist has
divided the painting down rhe
middle this is not bothersome
because of the space created. The
upw ard su rging form in front
contrasts well with the quiet grey
background in which the sun
seems to shimmer through a haz:e.
There is a strange feeling of
growth created by the wave·like
formations that emerge from it.
The artist shows subtlety in his
use of colors. setting muted greys
against royal blues and bright
pinks.
With closer observation. one
can see that the paintings work
well when there is some unifying
element to the design. The
composi tion of these paintings
falters if lines or shapes divide the
canvas into sections or if the
angular and s~rling shapes are
used together but do not
somehow relate to each other.
Likewise, the colors become
brilliant when muted tones a ~e
mixed with the brighter ones. but
are dull and confusing if too many
are used.
Sta irway is an excellent
example of the artist's most
successful use of design and color.
8ea~tifully clouded. the central
architecture is very reminiscent of
the precisionists' work of the
1920·s. Its angular and bridge-like
quali ties are again best felt from a
distance. The triangular center is
perfectly balanced by a thin
oentral verticle line. The tones of
orange range from a very light
tangerine color to a brilliant red
orange. An interesting shape to
note is the beige rectangle at the
bonom left. It pulls one into the
painting and at the same time
draws one away. This mechanical
form is well utilized. leading one
deeper into the painting to the
yellow rectang les. seemingly
hidden. which give a soh lighting
to one stairway.
On the back wall. to the left of
the gallery is a painting that is
very disconcerting to view. The
black lines. though they are
somewhat stablized in the center.
;ust from the focal point
with such force that they. dont
seem con tained within the
painting. The colors though
brilliant in some spots. are muddy
in others. Variations in hue that
would make this painting sing
have not been employed to a
great ex tent
The craftsman is a venture to
combine two different types of
shapes in one painting. The
foreground. composed of black.
green. and blue tones. is very fluid
and the brushwork is loose. These
colors seem to be ex-tending and
flowing into each other. From the
left of the painting a series of
bright red ray· like lines emerge and
flood the canvas. Contrasted with
this the focal point of the painting
is made up of different levels of
horizontal planes that appear
static. It seems, however. that the
red rays of color detract from the
harmony rather than unify the
wor k . The foreground and
background shapes. moreover.
compete for anention rather than
contribute to a whole.
Though menihan employs two
complementary colors, red and
qreen. the painting red square is
not as effective as one would
expect from this combinat ion.
Perhaps this is because the tones
of these colors seem washed-out
and 'murky. The plastic media and
particularly the colors he has
utilized obstruct the force of the
design instead of suengt.hening it.
The design , however. is
successful. The smaller swatches
of green and yellow stream from
the cross· like structure tha t
controls the painting.
The two circular reliefs entitled
mustard and tree stump are not
quite harmonic in terms of design
and color. Both are divided in half.
the mustard relief by a verticle
line. which cuts the left half off
from the rectangles that merge in
the center. and the other by a
horizontal line. Though Tree
horizonl81 1ine. Though tree stump
is divided it begins to
rectangular shape that includes
both halves. The oranges and
greens in the first reHef seem t~
work in relation to the design
better than the blues and greens
of tree stump.
John c. menihan's work. then.
reveals an ability to create mood
with a loose. free style. Some of
the paintings. however, lack unity
in design and subtlety in color
nuances and for this reason seem
harsh.

Flata in his podcet. tho forst film made by 28-year-old italian
prochgy, marco bellocchio. will be shown at nazareth arts center tuesday
through sunday, march 23·26 at 8 p m.
Described by newsweek as a flabbergasungly accomplished
filmmaker.' writer·directOf' bellaccho uses thts film to exhibit a whole
soe~al class in the guise of a Stngle fam•tv of anstocrats who are living in
a mokfenng provincial villa.
Bellocchio's world is tllat of
upper moddl&-class people hvong on
urban northern italy. This •s a
WOfld which he seems to know
well and one into which he thrusts
his camera effortlessly. Tile small.
entirely detached corner of this
world that he chooses to focus
upon is inhibited by a macabre
family of willful neurotics in an
advanced state of decay. The
members of this family: a bltnd
mother. rich and use&ess. three
sons and a strangely beautiful
daughter - are at f irst
shock.ingty unrecogrUzable in
their carnivOfous anitude towards
one and other. So sharp is
bellocc:hio's delineation of them
that they become quite fam11iar
and even. in their mad distorted
behavior. comprehensible.
Bellacchio demonstrates the
cinematic style of a skilled
veteran. He makes evident a
remarkable technique in the best
hahan neo-realist tradition. for
gett•ng entirely believable
performances from his cast -
even though they are playing the
oddest and mos1 difficult roles
soon on the screen in a long time.
In a review for the new ycwk
tfmea. pauline kael says. 'one of
the most as1onishing direct orial
debu cs in rhe history of the
movte·s. The material is wild. the
d.recuon cool and assured.
Bellocehio·s talent is so distinctive
thlt h already resembtes genius.·
International film guide states.
' Bellocc:hio hes catapulted himself
to t.he absolute forefront of young
filmmaking in italy. His work will
doubtless remain a guidepost for a
generation of filmmakers.·
Flato In hla pocket can be
classed as a horror film more in
tho tradition of guignol than lon

Walk for Water
combats pollution
The 1971 w alk for wat er. the monroe county conservation council'
community wide event to obtain the support of area residents
'outpace pollution' will be held sunday. april 25 beginning at 1 1 a.m.
The tangible results achieved bV

programs like the walk for water.
they may soon be walking on the

The lCl· mile april walk will start
and end at the pavilion area on the

and franklin streets. east avenue.
goodman street south, elmwood
avenue. and river road.
The money· raising aSPect of the
proiect consists of sponsorship of
each hik er by Individuals or
business and civic organizations.
The minimum pledge is 30 cents
for each mile completed by a
walker. Last year's contributions
by sponsors totaled more than
$1 8.000. These funds have been
used to f inance prograj'l'ls for
pollution detection and

Eurojob
answer to
summer
job quest
A new twist to the solution of
summer jobs for college students
ha.s been announced by ~.
a greenwicto. connecticut based
program. affiliated wi th the
american institute for foreign
study. Having ac:l<nowledged that
jobs will be increasingly difficult to
locate in the united states this
summer, many students will find
that eurojob has the answer. This
program offers a wide choice of
jobs- ranging from a farm job in
the swiss alps to a secretarial
position in london - in over 10
european countries.. No foreign
language is required for many of
these jobs. Eu...,..,., also handles
all arrangements~ for a w ork
permit. accommodations and
t ransportation. and provides a
four·day Ofientation program
abroad.
Students interested in th is
program are invited to contact the
local representative. mrs. jeanne

'It's called right time,'
I poured myself some and drank

survey was. i did disc::over a

as i had expected. is prevalent on
college campuses. students ere
still drinning.
Students seem to be drinkong
for different reasons today than
they did years ago. It's no longer
the nationaJ campus pastime. and
each student seems to be drinking
what he drinks for different
reasons.
Drinking has always been an
older generation vice. and young
revolutionaries are quite careful to
avoid anything that the
establishment has established
There are no real premediated
student drinking trends. Student
drinking habits seem to be a
matter of practicalities - c::ost is
important and do--your·own· thing
seem to prevail. The 'l'ost
important factor. though, is taste.
I made one more phone call -
not to the liquor store - but to
the drug store to ask them to
deliver a bottle of alka seltteo.
If student drinking habits are
anything like my own. alk seltzer
could very well be the most
popular student drink..

Before moving forward we must
take a glence backward long
enough to heartily thank all those

fair dealing of the britton printing

No matter how you feel about the war in
Vietnam, the fate of this prisoner of war
is a big deal. To bjs wife and children. To
his parents. To the signatories of the Geneva
Conventions. To all rational people in the
world.
The Red Cross is asking you to consider the
matter of prisoners of war and those who
are missing in action in Asia.
It is not asking you to take a stand on the
war itself. It is asking you to ask Hanoi to
observe the humanitarian provisions of the
Geneva Conventions.
Ask Hanoi to release the names of men it
holds prisoner. Ask them to allow prisoners
to communicate regularly with their fam.
ilies. Ask them to repatriate seriously ill
and wounded prisoners. Ask them to allow
a neutral intermediary to inspect places of
detention.
