PAGE 1 Feb ru ary 24 1967 Trustees College Selec p ner Members of the Board of Trustees, meeting on campus yesterday, ratified the selection of a Miami architectural firm to develop a master plan for the development of the campus. The firm, Pancoast, Ferendino, Grafton, was previously selected bythe board's Executive Committee last month. Lester Pancoast, a partner in the firm, presented his company's initial findings, primarily guidelines for land use, to those board members present at yesterday's special meeting. A full report is expected when the trustees meet in May. In his initial presentation, Pan coast proposed concentration of all new facilities for students along the bayfront on the West Campus. Immediately east of those facilities would be a landscaped area which would accommodate the college's parking needs, among other things. Pancoast also proposed to revise existing roadways to tie the two campuses together. He indicated plans to develop sports fields on the East Campus, east of the dorms. Retention of College Hall was included in the architect 1 s proposals, although it would not necesarily continue to serve its present ftmction. Members of the board expressed interest in Pancoast's ideas and authorized him to continue with his development of a master plan. Adolfo Albaisa will head the firm's working team for the New College project. Ralph Styles, Director of Planning for the college, will provide liaison between the architects and the college. The Pancoast firm was retained after trustees had been urged by I. M Pei and Associates, architects of the residence halls and Hamilton Court, to find someone else to develop the master plan. Pei said his firm could not assume more commitments for at least a year because of a heavy work schedule. Pei, along with his associate, Shelton Peed, attended President John Elmendorf's inauguration Wednesday. He inspected the construction now in progress on Hamilton Court while he was on campus. Pancoast and his wife also at tended the inauguration. Pancoast SAC Cites Need For Academic Division The Student Academic Committee (SAC) voted last night to recommend that anew academic di vision, a Division of Communications, be formed. The proposed new division will, according to SAC member Irving Benoist, inc 1 u de such fields as languages, semantics, mathematics, logic, and journalism. If formed the new division will join the already existing Divisions of Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. The fields to be included in the new division could be classified in one of the existing academic di visions, as most already are, but the SAC decided communications in its broad sense is a wide enough and important enough area of study to warrant a distinct identity. This motion was passed after lengthy discussion on the language requirement. As members of the SAC reported on faculty opinion --which they had polled--it be came apparent, according to Miss Benoist, that the faculty's main justification for a language require ment is that mastering a foreign language enables the student "to distinguish levels of meaning. 11 Accordingto another SAC mem ber, Harry Felder, "If this is the over-ridingjustification for alan guage requirement, we ought to start stressing it. The Miami architects have done the master planning and design work for Miami-Dade Junior College and have designed the new law center at the University of Florida. Edward G. Grafton, one of the partners in the firm, participated in the !-Jew College Educational Plan ning Conference which was held on campus last June under a special grant from the Educational Facilities Laboratories.

Runoff Election T odoy A runoff election between firstyearstudent TomJaiTell and secondyear student Harry Felder for the post of Chairman of the Student Executive Committee will be held today. The runoff is necessary because no student running polled a majority of votes cast. Felder, the present SEC Chairman, received 65 votes and Jarrell 49.

The feat of coordinating the activities of such a large number of persons is a great one by any standard. Naturally, most of the credit goes to the members of the Inaugural Committee, and we certainly understand why the trustees voted 11especial thanks11 to Mr. VanSkike and Mrs. Swift. There were also, however, a large number of other persons who contributed greatly to the success of the tmder taking. Food service Director Tom Estep and his staff accomplished the impossible by feeding nearly 500 persons quickly and well. Student ushers favorably impressed those who attended the ceremonies by courteously directing the movement of a large crowd in relatively cramped quarters. Because of the efforts of these and other persons, New College cannot help but benefit from the seriousness and dignity displayed Wednesday. The inauguration was an expression of confidence in both President Elmendorf and in the college. The ceremony and the excellence of its execution reflect credit on both.

EdnaVfalker Photography David Tekler Staff, Kit Arbuckle, Betsy Ash, Irving The Catalyst Throwing His Hat Dear Editor, I am submitting this in the hope that the candidate watchers will take some note of my first serious attempt at playing the SEC game. This daring gesture is motivated by the uneasy thought that all is not well with our student government. I, for one, feel that the function ofthe SEC member is to reflect or represent the view of his or her class, not to come up with ultimate solutions to problems off the top of one's hat. Worse yet--I feel that integrity, at least in the form of not doing one thing and saying another is a positive value (desirable). I am aware of the problem of relating to the community as I live and work in Sarasota. I am also aware of the modes and procedures to accomplish a desired task since I make a living at doing just that. I feel that I can bring something like seven years analytic experience, five years of management experience, and three years of college politics from behind the scenes to bear on the problem of how to make the SEC an effective and dynamic body. Most important of all, however, is that for me to do this job in a reasonable manner, I will need a massive amount of feedback to know where everyone stands. I approve of position papers, bull session, and open discussion, but I desire a good cross section of opinion before I represent any particular issue to the SEC. As far as practical political and management experience, I have something above the average to offer. I can claim seven years of experience as a systems analyst, five years as a manager, and three years experience in college politics from the behind the scenes side. Benoist, M a r y Blakeley, Carol Ann Chlldress, C I end a Cl mIn o, John Cranor, Allan ]aworslti, Pearl Lefkoviu, Jet Lowe, Tom Manteuffel, Abby Wsemer, Kay Moller, Laurie Paulson, MaryLou Phillips, Katie Smith, Cheoyl White Eleven Argentine students, on a six-week tour of this country and locally guests of the Pinellas Kiwanis Club, visited the New College campus Sat urday and were treated to lunch. m the Ring I can also offer a certain amotmt of objectivity because I have to live with both New College and the community, and I try to make a living from Sarasota. The other side of the coin is that I have certain violent prejudices toward integrity, honesty, and good community relations. I have something of the wheeler-dealer philosophy which sometimes docs not make for cheerful working relations. I emphasize the pragmatic ethic of getting a job done, ratherthan the h air trigger iss:.leS involved. One could also say that my physical distance is perhaps a bit larger than it should be for effective representation. Some of the work of closing this gap will have to be done by the people whom I represent, and some of it will have to be done by my devoting more time to studying the process of New College government. I wish I could end in the traditional manner of giving a room number and saymg 1 welcome you to come and unload your particu lar prejudices. Unfortunately, I am resident off campus--the best way to get in touch is to leave a note in my mailbox, and I will try tocatchupwithyou for a few minutes. If you have something more urgent, I am usually on campus every evening--usually late. In summary, then, !stand for experience, honesty, effectiveness, and representation. While I have not moved mountains for New Zea land, I have started and funded a reseatch program into linguistic programming at a major engineering school which regards the humanities as something of interest only to the mentally retarded. The task is of at least of the same order of magnitude.! (signed) Ron B. Kronenberg Another Hat To the Editor: Running for SEC, or for any other officeforthat matter, isn't an ac tivity to be undertaken lightly, on some kind of momentary whim, to take up time. For one thing, it hasthenature of a public exposure that can be uncomfortable and emharassing. But comfort is rare 1 y easy to come by in any case, and sometimes there are other conside rations. Student government at New College, like any kind of representative government, is a convenience. It is surely not an end in itself. In a s c h o o 1 as small as this, there should be many opportunities for the student body at large to express themselves on issues, to aid directly in the making of decisions that will affect their lives. I believe the present SEC has not provided these opporttmities. They have OPEN HOU.CS E. worked more to perpetuate themselves in power than to serve students. I think this is a dangerous course, and I would hope to alter it. The SEC will never be an effective body as long as they seek to serve their own ends. It is not a body in which doctrinaire individuals should seek to impose on others their private systems and ideologies, no matter how unwilling they may be. Yet some members have treated it in this way. There is a great creative potential in a student government which works closely with those not in power to establish a commtmity acceptable to all its inhabit ants. There must inevitably be a close communication with faculty and administration as well, and not an attitude implying these groups are in league against students to dep r i v e them of their last vestiges of freedom and dignity. There must be a willingness to cooperate, and a sensitive awareness of these creative possibilities. It isthiskindof awareness I would hope to offer to members of my c 1 ass and to the school at large, and for this reason I am a candidate for SEC from the class of 1968.

Adolph A.

Arpad von Lazar, Assistant Professorof Political Science at Van derbilt University, gave the last of three seminars on Latin America, concentrating on the r e 1 at ion of political factors to "objective" necessities of economic development. Faculty Committee To Conduct Hearing On CalenderChange The Faculty Educational Policy Committee will hold a public hearing today at 3 : 30 pm in the Music Room on a proposed calendar change. An extension in the length of time permitted to fulfill degree requirements is included in the proposal. Copies of a memorandum from the committee spelling out the proposed calendar change in detail are available in the Reception Center. Dr B. Gresham Riley, chainnan of the committee told The Catalyst yesterday he hopes student parti cipation in the hearing is sufficient to obtain a significant sampling of student opinion. on Berle discribed the recent Nicaraguan election and the two candidates, both of whom he has met. In addition, he gave a brief histo ry o f the University of the Andes for the b en e f it o f those students who will spend the second Independent Study Beriod in Colombia. According to Berle, the University "began as a c onvent, was converted to a women's prison, and held its first lectures in a quonset hut. He also spoke of the Bay of Pigs invasion and the possibilities f o r student projects. Profess o r von Lazar spoke of the avid conspicuous consumption of the growing Latin American middle class along with their preference for cultural items instead of American. He also described the policy and attitudes of the Christian Democratic Party, which won the l_atest election in Chile.
