Students To Elect New Published by Students of New College, Sarasota, Florida Students Uphold lntervisitation Rule Intervisitation was retained as a part of the Student Code by a 97-62 vote of students on Mondav's ballot, Supervisory Committee Chairman Katie Smith reported to the Student Executive Committee Wednesday. Students split 81-81 on a question regarding the use of proxies by the SEC. Since a maJority was not obtained in this vote, proxies will not be allowed in SEC meetings. Stu dents had vot-ed 67-65 against proxies in a previous ballot on this question in December. Kronenberg also stated he would inquire about the details of an ordinance recently passed by the Sara sota City Commission requiring both motorcycle riders and drivers towearcrash helmets at all times. House Committee ChairmanKenji Oda reported kitchen manager Thomas Estep would hire students to work in the snack bar, and a questionnaire on hours would be circulated to the students. Oda stated Planning Director Ralph Styles said he had not yet been called back by the engineer about the fountains in the dormitories. Supervisory Committee chairman Katie Smith and SEC member Jerry Neugarten at the ballot-counting. SEC Head Wed. 3 File Nominations Students willgotothe polls Wednesday to elect a new chairman of the Student Executive Committee t o fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mike Cassell. To date, three students have filed petitions nominating them for chairman. Thev are second-year students JerryNeugarten and Harry Felder, and first-year student Katie Smith. The new Chairman will serve only a few weeks, since all SEC members will come up for re-election in February. Nominations for Chairman open Feb. 9 and close Feb. 19, with the election to be held Feb. 21. Since both Neugarten and Smith are SEC members, an election to replace the winner must be held in two weeks if e it h e r is e 1 e c t e d chairman. This election w o u 1 d take place Feb. 15. An SEC member chosen in this election would serve an even shorter time. Nominations for SEC members in the regular elec-tionsopenFeb. 16 and close Feb.26, with the election Feb. 28. Judiciary Committee members also come up fot re-election soon. No min at ions for that post open Feb. 16 and close Feb. 28, with the election its e If scheduled for March 2. Polls will be open from 1 pm to 5 pm outside the reception center, and from 5:30 to 6 in College Hall. A majority of students voting is required to elect a chairman. Since she is a candidate, Super visory Committee Chairman Smith has indicated she would resign her position before the vote. CollegeRaises $300,000 TowardNeeded $2 Million Atotalof$300, 000 has been raised by the college in its effort to match a $1, 000, 000 anonymous foundation gift on a basis. Trustee George Collins, chairman of the board of trustees Development Committee Monday of the $300, 000 and of another $150, 000 pledged. A $100, 000 single gift was made by Mrs. Carl L. Hamilton, of Venice. This is the third major gift by Mrs Smith also reported students voted 122-34 to require a student elected to replace another SEC member to assume the lowest "seniority rank ing" of SEC members from his class. The other alternative on the ballot was to allow him to assume the ranking of the member he replaced. College Council Meets Again Hamilton, whose initial contribution made possible the building of Hamilton Court. Assistant Dean Arthur Miller stated at the meeting the language faculty had affirmed the language requirement would be maintained. The faculty as a whole had voted unanimously to maintain the requirement. After 4 -Month Hiatus Underthetermsofthe anonymous million-dollar gift, the college must match each dollar on a twofor-one basis before Aug. 31, 1968, in order to qualify for the money .. Since the gift was announced trustees have given $41,000 toward the goal and foundations and corporations, $59,000. Another $100,000 has come from other sources including the Woman's Library1Association and the United Church of Christ Board for Homeland Ministries. Miller also stated the proctor should not attempt to control noise before quiet hours have begun unless there is a complaint from a student or faculty resident. This clarification was the result of a student question about apparent ambiguity in the quiet hour regulation. Finance Committee Chairman Neugarten reported the administration position on the refund of tuition or room fees to students who leave the college voluntarily or who are dismissed during the academic year. He said board fees would be refunded according to the amount of scholarship the student had received. Third-yearrepresentative Rachel Findley stated the College Council should be asked to consider the question of refunds. Neugarten also reported govemmentwork grants could be applied only toward jobs listed by the college in the original grant request, and thus jobs could not be "created" to give students employment. As the result of discussions at the College Council meeting Tuesday, Neugartensuggested the Academic Committee appoint students to faculty committees. No action was taken. Felder, a member of the Academic Committee, reported the committee was preparing questionnaires that will seek student opinion on which faculty members should receive tenure. Miller asked if the committee had seen the faculty guidelines on tenure. Felder said these guidelines would appear on the questionnaire, along with a definition of tenure. Miller reported two prowlers had been recently apprehended on the East Campus, and cautioned students, especially girls, tokeeptheir doors locked, particularly at night. Miller also reported another request by the SEC to install lights on the roof of the 200 court facing east and south would be "a good idea." Acting Chairman Steve Hall said the SEC still stood as requesting the lights. Miller said two administration rules apparently needed reiteration. These are the rules regarding the use of firecrackers and changing rooms. He said the college has a legal responsibility to know who is rooming where with whom. Miller reported the inaugural ball had been postponed "indefinitely," and repeated his request of last week that the SEC enforce some rules on bicycle safety. An observer, first-year student Ron Kronenberg, said he would find out about present city bicycle safety ordinances. The College Council met Tuesday for the first time since Sep tember. In its first meeting since Septem ber the College Council Tuesday appointed a committee of its membersto act as a clearing house for recommendations arising from the recent planning conference. Dr. George Petrie was elected secretary of the group. President John Elmendorf, who chaired the meeting, opened dis. cussion by saying he would like the College Council, or perhaps a subcommittee, to act as a clearing house for what comes out of the conference. Elmendorf said he saw the committee as directing the flow of suggestions and recommendations to the f acuity and students once all the information and reports have been gathered by Vice President Paul Davis. Named to the committee were Davis for the administration, Dr. Petrie Patricia Drabik forthe faculty and Tim Dunsworth for the students. Elmendorf continued the discussion of the conference by saying he had heard comments about poor conmunication on the campus. Dr. Drabiksaid she is concerned about the lack of parliamentary proce:!ure in the operations of the student gavenm ent. P.uliamentary procedure, she said, ensures orderly procedure and democratic operation. This lack might help in the breakdown of communications, she contended. Student representative Jerry Neugarten asked about the possibility of having open faculty meetings and Academic Council meetings. He suggested people be admitted to those meetings whenever pos sible. Elmendorf responded by outlining three problems to such a procedure. Citing as one of the virtues of these meetings the openness with which they are conducted, he said the presence of students at them would inhibit the frankness of the members. He said much of what occurs at Academic Council meetings is theoretical and matters which cone em students come out eventually. As his third point Elmendo rf said said m embers of other communities might be admitted to either the faculty or the Academic Council meetings when they act in judicial functions. Elmendorf left on urgent business during the discussion, which continued at some length. The chair was turned over to Petrie. The discussion terminated when Dean of Students Robert Norwine suggested students, through the Student Academic Committee, select representatives to attach themselves to various faculty committees in order to keep abreast of matters under consideration by the faculty. Collins said the total goal has been divided into tmits which can be achieved in the allotted tinle. He paid special tribute to Mrs. Hamilton, saying, "New College exists today because of the close friendship of a large number of people who have given freely of tinle, energy and funds to help build the college toward its goals. "Mrs Hamilton has been the staunchest of friends, 11 he continued. "Because of her and others like her New College is now near ing the 'graduation of first cla_ss and also earning growllg recogni tion as one ofthe outstanding innovating colleges in the nation. 11 Tonight' s Forum Guest Speech Cites PerformanceGap "There is a surprising lack of fit between petformance in school and performance in life," says Dr. David Me Clelland, chairman of the Department of Social Relations at Harvard University. "High achievement motivation is not necessarily related to academic achievement, 11 he continues. "Studies of scientists have found little correlation between outstanding research productivity and how well one did in college. 11 McClelland, who made these remarks at an informal meeting with students in the Pompeii Room yesterday afternoon, will speak at tonight's Forum on his research into "The Relationship of Motivational Factors to Economic Development." "I am an educator," McClelland explained. "It's the only thing I know, although my motivational researchcarried me into non-academic areas. Describing his person a 1 back grotmd, he noted, "My f

Page 2 Editorials Issues and Evils The biggest issue in the election for Student Executive Committee Olainnan has been defined by the SEC itself in its most recent actions. A majority of SEC members seem to have devoted themselves to giving away student powers to the administration, They have deleted rules, which they knew the administra tion would enforce, from the student code merely because they did not approve of the rules, The SEC will almost certainly continue in this direction if JenyNeugarten is elected chairman, because he has been a major force behind many of the SEC's actions so far. We have no way of predicting how Harry Felder will chair the SEC ifhe is elected. We are, however, wary of his emphasis on the recall and initiative recourse of the students. Katie Smith hasopposedthe c48solving of the SEC's power and her attitude toward the SEC's role is one we favor-provided she can implement it. The Catalyst When you vote, consider whether you want the SEC to be led further in the direction it is headed now. Considerwhether you want the members of the SEC to assume they have student support 1.mtll they are recalled. Consider the disad vantages a first-year coed must face as chainna.n. THE OJ:' Consider well and then vote for the least of the evils. That's all we can do. [etters Progressiveness Not Lost To the Eottors: As Laurie Paulson pointed out in his column last week, we at New College are actually quite lucky to be so isolated from the narrowminded, backward world outside. Our communal isolation not only permits us the experience of togetherness that Mr. Paulson described, but it also affords the opportunity to spend at least three of our years in a community which v a 1 u e s above all else an atmosphere Of free and open discussion; here we can really eng a g e in broad -minded, uninhibited dialogue. And this is such sive place into the was the word? UnsettliliJ. Yes. The importance of a this togetherness, open discussion, and progressiveness is certainly not lost on me, and it was therefore with great interest that 1 read in last week's Clltalyst of the cliscussion about "Sex on Campus. "("At least they've stopped calling it intervisitation. ") Unfortunately all I know of this little forum is what the Catalyst printed, for--A 1 as! --I am not a "co-ed" and hence I was not permitted to participate. (Did you ever wonder how the word "co-ed" came to mean "females and onty females"?) At first I was a 1t puzzled by this blatant segregation on the basis of gender (Does this disqualify New College for federal funds?), but then I remembered that sex is after all a nasty, embarrassing business and is therefore not a fit topic of conversation for mixed company. And there's really no reason for me to feel left out, because Nurse LeMasters assures us males that we can have a simi 1 a r little talk all our CN{n (snigger, giggle) }L there is enough interest (pant, drool). ("Boys may ind1cate interest by scrawling their names on the walls of any of the men's toilets.") Consider the morbidity of this scene: The Music Room. The curtains drawn.

Physically mature for at least half a decade, these girls have assembledthis evening for the purpose of Sex Education. Nurse LeMasters patrols the doorway to keep all male students out of the vicinity. A hush falls over the co-eds as the "three special ists" enter (specialists? in what?). The mood, needless to say, is solemn. This is because there are only two possible approaches to sex--scatological or clinical--the latter being the public version of the former, and this is a pub 1 i c function. (Paul Goodman wanted to talk about sex in a third way, but the New College audience was embarrassed and annoyed and preferred to discuss the really tant dimensions of human re a tiOns, like politics ... ) Psychiatrist Warson begins the discussion, of course, "by stressing the significance of emotional and psychological effects of sex as an experience." So who are the other specialists? Poets? A gynecologist-obstetrician and a urologist. ) This emotion business lasts just long enough to wam about the "grave emotional problems "that result from "sleeping around." (You know what that is. ) Then the other experts take the floor to open the frontal attack (so to speak) on the urogenital tract. Pregnancy and venereal disease"its symptoms, effects, and methods of detection"are given a thorough going over. (Those two maladies uniquely associated with sexual activity-! wonder if they also discussed the nwnerous maladies associated with sexual abstinence, ranging from psychasthenia anddysmenormea to cnromc headaches. Did you ever notice that the nurse dispenses free aspirin but not those other pills?) Finally the discussion breaks up, Nurse LeMasters makes sure all the diagrams have been erased from the blackboa'd, and that takes care of those sex problems for another year. (A. S. Neill wrote: I once asked the principal of a progressive school, "Have you any love affairs in the school?" "No, 11 hereplied gravely, "Butthen, wenever take problem children. 11) Was it really all that sordid?

Rowlett President LSD Use Probed In Area Colleges Undercover agents in area insti tutions of higher learning are making investigations into the use of LSD at those institutions, according to the University of South Florida Oracle. In a front page article last week The Oracle quoted Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department Vice Squad Capt. R. D. Ramsey as saying aN eo-American religious cult, known to use has representatives at almost all colleges in Florida. Last trimester at USF a freshman was caught by sheriff's deputies with marijuana in his dormitory room. Four persons were arrested last December in Gainesville near the University of Florida campus after they were observed conducting the sale of LSD. At present the possession and use of LSD is only a misdemeanor. The state Legislature, however, has been asked to make its use and sale a felony. Arthur John Kleps, director of the 500-n:EmberNeo-American Church which has its winter quarters in Miami, was arraigned last week for possessing LSD without a prescription. Florida Board of Health spokesman Raymond Bellinger told a Senate juvenie delinquency subcommittee in Washington last the NeoAmerican church has chapters on every college c anpus in Florida. The Oracle noted proof of this statement "has not been made. Film Sunday's film will be a D. W. Griffin classic, "Intolerance. 11 The program will begin at 6:30 pm in the Pompeii Room of College Hall. ACLU Talk Chuck Morgan, .bead of the American Civil Uberties Union in the Southeastern United States will speak tomorrow at the Unitarian Church, 3975 Fruitville Rd., at 8 pm. The public is invited, Distressed By To the Editor: I am distressed by two CmTent trends in the SEC: First, there is a trend toward giving away all of our student powers. While students everywhere else are demonstrating against or knuckling under to, administrations because they cannot get for themselves the powers we have, certain members of the SEC calmly say, "Let the administration do it." Certainly many, if not all, of our rules are traditionall* within the the jurisdiction of a ministration and outside the reach of students. But in a supposedly avant-garde school where students complain loudly that even the fairly radical differences between New College and most other colleges are toe small, that the school is too traditional, it seems odd and disappointing to see the student government returning its powers to the administration. I fight to keep the SEC powers intact; only by accepting the responsibility that comes with our power can we be as autonomous and as important in function as we should be .. to keep the student an integral part of the responsible college community. A strong student govemment that accepts its responSibilities is a vital part of New College, not only what NC is now, but also and especiaJ.y what it can and should be, "The College is centered around the student" and "The undergraduate is KING, 11 according to the literature, but instead of trying to make this areality, part of the SEC is trying to abdicate all responsibility. We have to uphold our end of the bargain, maybe even fight for it, if we don 1t want the administration and faculty acting as our REGENTS. A second harmful trend in the SEC is its tendency to see itself as entirely separate from, and above, the the control of the student body it represents. As head of the Super visory Committee, I have been asked to conduct ballots on issues on which the students have already expressed themselves, in some cases several times previously, because certain SEC members didn't like previous decisions. The attitude often seems to be "We'll keep on making them vote until they vote the right way. Even this wouldn 1t be so bad, however, if certain people didn't insist on regarding these ballots as relatively unim portant unless they tum out the "right" way. Until I introduced a motion to bind the SEC by re sults of student balloting on a student petition, some SEC members insisted that they need not bound by the student balloting we could merely "put it into practice and then repeal it five minutes later." "The SECwillnevervoluntarily limit its powers" said our fearless leaders in defence of their stand (which seemed odd, since it was these same fearless leaders who fought so hard not only to limit, but also to give away, our powers to the administration). We are given the power to make our own rules which, by administrative fiat, must be, we are allowed to incorporate them into our own rules so that we can enforce them--to make sure tliat tbe student is given the oenefit of every doubt, to give the January 27, 1967 SEC Trends student a chance for a jury trial, and to give him usually the lightest possible sentence. Certainly it would be ideal if we could abolish all rules, but for one reason or another, there are, and for a time will be, rules, so we might as well handle them ourselVes. Besides these trends, there are, of course, myriads of things which should be improved. The Modes of Procedure underwent an e:xten s i v e rewording and clarification last terrn, but there are still points which should be cl a r if i e d ; and things which it promises but which haven 1 t been delivered or adequately publicized, such as suggestion forms provided by the House Committee for suggestions or complaintsfromstudents, could be useful and provide a better means of communication of student desires. The Modes of Procedure also ignore many things which could easily arise, such as what a student can do if he fails to receive a speedy tria 1 or he :ring for violations of rules. Much more thoughtful work needs to go into these Modes before they will be an adequately functioning guideline. The articles of the SEC also need clarification in some cases, and changes in others. I believe we should keep the SEC as unstructured formally as possible while maintaining max.imwn effectivemss, but some of the "relatively unstruc tured" articles are too ambiguous to be useful. The use of student initiatives and student-initiated amendmentsneedto be formalized and clarified, so that the desires of the students cannot be merely brushed aside by the whim of some of the SEC. I also disagree with the flat pronouncement in 5, D-that any question of interpretation of the articles shall be decided by the SEC. I believe provision should be made for STUDENT decisions which are BINDING on the SEC, even though they are not necessarily amendments to a constitution which could too easily become more amendment than constitution. I think balloting for Student Initiative should be binding on the SEC unless and until the students change their minds--after an, if over 1/2 of the student body wants something, I don't think the SEC has the right to cast their wishes aside for personal wishes. A little more structure is necessary in the Student Judiciary Committee. The Bill of Rights of New College states that those accused of rules infra::tions have the right to a s p e e d y trial, but there :re caseswhichshould have been tried last November or December which have yet to be tried. We've got a lot of opportunity, and it's knocking now. If we blow it, then it will be all over for a long time--maybe, for New College, forever. It is hard to right wrongs, and so easy to wrong rights. I'm still idealistic enough to believe that if we cooperate, we can make the right choices--but I'm also realistic enough to know that it will take lots of hard work. I'm willing to try 1 and I ask no more than that from you. (signed) Katie Smith

Candidates Their January 27, 1967 Pa e 3 Views The Catalyst asked each of the candidates who were nominated before press time to answer the following questions: 1. What, in your opinion, is the primary responsibility of the SEC? If you are elected chairman, how will you seek to guide the SEC in fulfilling this responsibility? 2. What do you see as the proper role ofthe College Cotmcil in New College affairs? 3. What is your position on the enforcement by the SEC of rules which may not be popular with SEC members but which have not been repealed by the students? 4. Do yo_u have any suggestions for amending the constitution of the student government? S.

Pr_intedintheir entirety, here are the1r Smith ly to "the guys on top" --the ones who should handle their particular complaints or ideas, or present them to the SEC for fuither action. I would ask the sub-committees of the SEC to keep the students in formed of their activities Felder 1 I be li e v e it is hoth necessary anddesirableforthe SEC to be a much broader organization than that defined by its stated ftmctions. These cannot encompass all of what theSECmustbe--agoveming body which is in turn governed by those it represents; an ide a-receiving body which has a great deal of power to put ideas into action; an instrument for the expression of student. wills and wants; a dvnamic, fleXIble group to implement and preserve something as close to the "New College Ideal" as we can come, with an attitude composed of idealism flavored with realism. The SEC's primary function is to be the students' "authority force" in making _New College work.

Page 4 Cogers Drop o Another; One Win Close TheN ew College basketball team showed signs of coming to life this week, winning one game and barely dropping a:1other in overtime. New College lost to Royal Tire Company Friday night 63-60; on Tuesday the tea:n beat a hapless National Bank Team 54-49. New College's next game is set f o r Feb. 3 at the Sarasota High School gym against the leagueleading Samsota Sports Committee, which is led by one-time little All-America Tim Eisnaugle. Friday night 1 s game started slowly, as three of theN ew College starters did not show up at the gym \.Dltil the second quarter. The substitutes did a better job than the stars, scoringwise, as the first quarter ended an 11-11 tie. At the half, Royal Tire had managed to move out to a 22-20 lead. By the end of the third period the Royal Tire Team's lead had swollen to eight points. A determined effort both offensively and defensively by the New College cagers in the fourth quarter, however, gave them a two point lead with seconds remaining, 58-56. Royal Tire came back and despite the lDlexpected pressure hit a field goal with nine seconds left to send the game into overtime, in which Royal Tire outscored New College S-2. Player-coach Jim Strickland was high point man for New College with 18 points. Pete Odell and Steve Knowles each had 9; John Cranor, Larry Alexander, and Tom Lesure added eight each. In Tuesday's game, New College outran a smaller, slower National Bank team that came into the game with an 0-6 record. Throwing compassiontothe wind, New College used the fast break to r\.Dl up a 16-9 first period lead. The team relaxed in the second period, and the National Bank rolled into a surprising 24-20 halftime lead. The Bank led by five at the beginning of the final quarter 38-33, as New College was bothered with cold shooting and generally lackluster play. Inthefinal period, however, the teamswitchedfrom a man-to-man to a 1-2-2 zone defense and stifled the Bankers' scoring. New College began hitting their shots, and used the fast break effectively, and led bY. seven points with two minutes remaining. National Bank rallied briefly to close the gap to three points with less than a minute left, but Dan Haggarty hit a crucial jwnp shot after a time out to insure the victory. The New College record is now 2-4 for the season. Center T o m Lesure played his last game this week for New College, as he is taking a leave of absence from school on cam us with Laurie Pau/so-11 Running f o r C hairman Recently, I've become greatly concerned over student government at New College, and for this reason was very interested when I heard of the upcoming election for Chairman of the Student Executive Committee. In order to become informed about the merits of the various candidates, and thus cast a more intelligent vote, I sought out one of those r\.Dlning, a high-ranking member of the SEC, and questioned him a bout his candidacy. "Why do you want to be SEC chairman?" I began by asking him. "Well," he answered, gazing thoughtfully into the distance, "you might say it's because of my great concemfor the welfare of the students, and my desire to see that their government operates at maximum efficiency. You might say it'sfrom a belief that I'm the best qualified to fill this important position. You might even say it's because of my de die ation to the ideals of New College and my desire to see that they are never destroyed. "What's therealreason?" I asked. "I want to r\.Dl things. "Your stands on many student issues, such as proxies and intervisi tatioll, are well known, I said. "In light of your views on these subjects, what do you think of the results of the re, ent student ballot?" "In general, I try not to. "Well, do you feel the intervisitation question has been settled?" "Certainly not," he answered, adamantly. "The will of the students has not yet been expressed on this issue, and I intend to see that we keep having votes until it is." "What do you intend to do if elected?" I inquired. "I intend-to see that the students .have more of a voice in their own affairs. And I will complain vigorously if. any student powers are taken over by the administration, he replied. "How will you go about this?" "First, I'll work to see that all the test of the sections of the Student Code are deleted. "But won't this give the students less power?" I asked, puzzled. "Yes, butit1llsuremake it easier to complain. "What else will you work for if you are elected?" I asked. "Well, since I don't believe students should be required to out, I think the SEC should hire some clever student with a work gxant to impersonate over the phone those absent students whose parents want to reach them. And I intend to work for the placing of an eternal light in the Mike Cassell shtine. "If you aren 1t elected, I asked "who is your personal choice tdr SEC chairman?" "lfirmly believe there's only one other who would act as chairman in the same way I w ould, but he's not a student. "In this office, that doesn 1t seem to matte r I said. "Who is it?" "Flipper. But I don't think he'd serve." "By the way, do you have a campaign slogan?" "Yes. It reads: 'Elect me SEC chairman and you'll have only yourself to thank. '" Books & Stationery, Inc.
