Administration Plans Action As Energy Crisis Affects Colleges BCC Buildings To Cut Power While Americans across the nation brace themselves to face what President Nixon has called a full-fledged enei-gy crisis, the BCC De- partment of Buildings and Grounds is confident that the first winter on our new campus will not be a winter of discontent. "We are diligently striving to meet the requests of President Nixon regarding fuel savings." asserted Mr. Louis Krantz, Ad- ministrative Supervisor of Build- ings and Grounds. "Our heating plant at this time is in the pro- cess of being restored for max- imum efficiency. We are upgrad- ing as rapidly as possible to minimize the waste of heat." With this goal in mind, a large high pressure steam leak on the road from Sage to Tech Two has been repaired. And just last week, workers closed a trench running across the south side of Ohio Field, having repaired bro- ken lines taking heat to Gould Hall. Engineer's Estimate According to Chief Engineer Ray Thompson, oil is the basic though not th e exclusive heat- ing fuel used at BCC. The central heating plant adjacent to the New Hall complex uses about 35,000 gallons of heating oil per week, at about 15 to 16 cents per gallon. The number of gal- lons does not decline appreciably during summer months since fuel is needed for air conditioning. Weekly reports on fuel use are forwarded to various City depart- ments. Fuel is bought on a city- wide contract. Since the college does not buy any oil privately, cutbacks in the oil available to the City will be reflected in the amount of oil allotted to BCC. "We have to be on the alert constantly to save oil," Mr. Krantz said. "We'll be setting down the thermostat from the usual 70 degrees to 68 or even 65 in certain time periods." Mr. Krantz's staff has auxiliary elec- tric heaters available for use should any emergency occur. "Students can help by report- ing broken windows, by not leav- ing doors ajar and by shutting off lights when leaving an empty classroom. Don't cry. rectify," Mr. Krantz said smilingly. "We have a highly skilled staff" in this department and we believe in do- ing something more than jus: discussing cur problems." Kibbee Announces Conservation Plan Chancellor Robert J. Kib- bee has announced the form- ation of an Energy Conserva- tion Committee to include representatives of the 20 campuses in the City Univer- sity system. At a meeting of CUNY college presidents, Dr. Kibbee requested each campus to designate ea energy crisis coordinator who would serve ori the university- wide committee and be respon- sible for the implementation \yt CUNY's energy conservation pol- icies.

The amount represents an 18.8 percent or $99.5 million increase over the current year's base budget.

In 1973-74, Albany's refusal to match $8.2 million of City funding exacerbated finan- cial difficulties on all CUNY campuses, forcing cuts in the base budgets of all colleges. The cuts were responsible for in- of student support services. Compounding CUNY's total dif- ficulties in recent years has been the reduction in State aid for community colleges. Theoretic- ally, the State has a commit- ment to provide 40 percent of the operating budgets for com- munity colleges. However, the Chancellor explained, "the actual percentage of State aid for CUNY community colleges has dropped to less than 38 percent." Growth Anticipated The new budget anticipates ad- mitting 9,500 undergraduate stu- dents, for a total projected en- rollment of 219,000 full-time stu- dents. This growth is the last significant increase under Open with only minimal increases expected beyond 1974- 73—the fifth year of Open Ad- missions at CUNY. Following the Board's approval of the budget request, the Chan- cellor will submit the budget to the Mayor. The City Bureau of the Budget reviews the request on behalf of the Mayor. No later than December 1, the Mayor most certify to the Governor the University budget for the senior colleges which the City will ap- prove for 1974-75. The State then begins its review of the Mayor's certified budget. In general, budget discussions carry on late into the spring. The final approved budget is de- termined in late Jane.

Freedom of Speech Winterfeldt Stresses Importance of GermanWe gained an idea of how the young people of this

country feel about freedom of speech when they demandedtheir right to be heard in the protest marches of the 1960's.Unfortunately, it was these same young people whostopped Dr. William B. Shockley, the Nobel laureate physi-cist, from presenting his views that blacks are geneticallyinferior to whites last week at Staten Island CommunityCollege. Dr. Shockley was hooted out of the room by chantswhich likened him to Hitler.

Dr. Shockley should have been given the right tospeak, however, as outrageous as his views might be. Thecause of truth would have been better served by lettinghim present his theories and then providing a forum fordiscussion and criticism of them. Dr. Shockley's ideas re-main in the public arena whether or not he is allowed toaddress a particular group. Students and faculty mighthave done as Roy Innis, director of CORE, did Sundayduring a 15-minute debate with Dr. Shockley on CBS-TVwhen he presented evidence that the IQ scores used byDr. Shockley are derived from tests whio'i are culturallybiased. But whether or not Dr. Shockley s view can be sup-ported by facts or whether, as most assume, he can beproved wrong, justice for all the peop'e would have beenfurtheredrtiy the application of and respect for the FirstAmendment, the right of freedom jf speech.

Jean-Robert Aristhene# * *

There is a very real connection between the decisionmade by a Dakota school board to burn a book written oy adistinguished member of our faculty and threats made bymembers of our own community against the appearanceof a visiting speaker at one of our campuses. After cen-turies of folly, there are still those who believe that cen-sorship can be imposed over the minds of men.' The university is inevitably at the center of these

kinds of issues because it is our function to serve as aforum for the exposure of ideas to scholarly analysis andcriticism. It is our duty to strive for the unfettered pur-suit of truth, protecting the right of all in our aca'demiccommunity to challenge the most established dicta, includ-ing the artist's right to pursue his special muse with pietyor profanity.

One does not shield young minds from ideas that oldereyes view as obscene by incinerating the pages on whichthey are written. Nor does one expose nonsense garbedas science by denying it a hearing. It is only through openand free academic inquiry—not through the inquisitor orcensor—that we test ideas and find them in varying degreeswise" of foolish.

Dr. Shockley's right to be heard without fear or intimi-dation on the campus of one of our colleges should nothave to be affirmed by me. He has that right, first andforemost, because he is a guest, coming here at the invita-tion of one of our colleges. Secondly, his right to be heardis assured on the same basis that all Americans share aguarantee of freedom of speech under the First Amend-ment. If we were to deny him that right we diminish ourown selves as scholars and as Americans.

Dr. Robert J. Kibbee

Former BCC Maiji BuildingHouses Adult Ed Programs

BCC's old Main Building is alive and well and thriving.While Lehman College and neighborhood public schools nowoccupy most of the buildings that until last summer be-longed to BCC, the college's original Main Building, at 120East 184 Street, is still very much a part of the BCC scene.

Associate Dean Seymour Rei-sin explained that the building,which now houses all continuingeducation programs and providesservices for 600 people in a cen-ter for adult education, is teem-ing with activity.

Of particular interest amongthe programs now housed in thebuilding is the counseling unitfor adult education students.Under the direction of PaulaAnderson, who began her highereducation as a student at BCC,the unit is the only one at thecollege which uses BCC studentstrained to provide intake coun-seling for many adults in con-tinuing education.

"The unit provides meaning-ful work for sutdents. It givesthem something to. do beyondstuffing envelopes or runningmimeograph machines," DeanReisin said. "There is only oneprofessional in the counselingunit; all others are paraprofes-sionals. And yet," Dean Reisinadded with pride, "it is the onlyunit in New York City permittedto give the entry clerical exam-

ination for government work."Tom Stribling, Director for

Continuing Education Programs,also stressed the wide range ofactivities going on in the build-ing. He mentioned the Right toRead program which is designedto teach illiterate adults how toread, as well as the upgradingprograms for municipal andstate civil service employees.These are upgrading programsfor civil service people on thecity, state and federal levels.Some twenty courses are of-fered, ranging from typing toSpanish to report writing.

Add to all these activities, Dr.Ronald Szc.zypkowski's effortsfor senior citizens. The area'sgolden agers can visit the MainBifilding for classes in such un-usual fields as swimming and art.

The Main Building a}sp servesas one of nine Bronx locationsin which Mini-Sernester classesare held. Under this program,adults may register for npn-credit courses in a wide variety,of subject areas.

On a crisp October afternoon,I visited Dr. Hans Winterfeldt,Professor of German at BCC, inhis office in the Tech II Build-ing. He is a wiry, in.ense manwhose desk is surrounded bybooks, papers and posters. Heobviously loves what he is doing.

His overriding concern is thatstudents be made aware of theopportunities and advantages tobe derived from the mastery ofGerman. 'He pointed out that inevery European country, stu-dents are taught at least oneand usually two foreign lan-guages. He went on to takeissue with the American no'.ionthat it isn't necessary to knowa foreign tongue and the tend-ency of Americans to laugh atsuch a skill.

Dr. Winterfeldt remarked thatthe four words ("Ichi bin einBerliner") which John F. Ken-nedy spoke to Berliners in theirnative tongue during an addressin 1961 meant more to themthan the rest of his speech whichwas in English. The square onwhich he spoke was renamedJohn F. Kennedy Platz.

As a young man in Germany,Dr. VVinterfeldt's ambition wasto live in a weakhier country,so, like many other impover-ished Europeans after WorldWar II, he learned English inanticipation of coming to Amer-ica. "Yes," he said, "money rulesthe world. 'Geld regiert dieWelt'." Traditionally the lan-guage of wealth and power hasbeen the one that is most pop-ular and necessary." Then thatlanguage was English, and nowit is English and German, ac-cording to Dr. Winterfeldt.

Germany Rebuilt"I went back to Germany re-

cently, and I couldn't believe myeyes. When I left 25 years, ago,all German cities, were bombed-out rubble, and you should seethem today. They have builtthem up again, and they look

more beautiful than before. Ger-man cities are the wealthiest inEurope today." He noted thatthe German mark is the world'sstrongest currency and thatGermany is the third largest in-dustrial power today.

I noticed picture postcards ofvarious places in Germany onthe wall. Dr. Winterfeldt wasborn in a small German town,but the advent of Fascism, anti-Semitism and the persecution ofJews forced his family to leavehouse and store behind in orderto try to survive in Berlin. At

pr. Hans Winterfeldt

the age of 15 he was put to workin a factory by the Nazis, al-though he was not mistreatedas many others were.

In 1944, after having lived inhiding for almost two years, heand his family were caught bythe Gestapo and deported toAuschwitz. Miraculously, he andhis parents survived the campsand they were reunited after thewar. As Dr. Winterfeldt spoke,I watched his silhouette againstthe brilliant autumn sky and thetress of Invvood. The horrors ofWorld War II seemed very dis-tant but Dr. Winterfeldt in-

sisted that everyone must knowabout them.

Hobby Is MusicDr. Winterfeldt's "hobby is

singing opera and German lieder.He first discovered that he hadsome talent for music when hisuncle overheard him s.inging iijthe bathtub and convinced himto take voice lessons. 'His spjjWalter, 14, has accompanied himon the piano at several concertshe has given at BCC and else-where.

Dr. Winterfeldt served in theUnited, States Army in Koreaduring the Korean conflict. Af-ter his discharge he went to col-lege on the G. I. Bill. He hasbeen on the faculty at BCC since1963. He stresses that Germanis important for students withalmost any major. Students inscience and medicine will findGerman extremely useful forreading important new publica-tions in the original, while stu-dents in the humanities will dis-cover that much important workhas been done in German, Dr.Winterfeldt emphasized.

Job Opportunities

Many opportunities, such asscholarships, jobs, and s.tudy-abroad'programs'are available tostudents with a knowledge ofGerman. "Only this summer theGerman government made avail-able 150 million marks to USstudents for scholarships andgrants," he pointed out. AndGermany is one of the few coun-tries with a labor shortage. ManyAmericans are teaching there,and Lufthansa German Airlineshas been hiring American girlsto work as stewardesses.

Dr. Winterfeldt urges BCCstudents to join the njpre thafl200,000,000 speaker? of Gppmanin the world. "If you study Ger-man you have nothing to lose,only something to gain, if nottoday, then certainly tomorrow."he concluded.

He was instrumental indrawing the manifesto, "TheBlack Agenda."

"I love America, I hate thesystem," Baraka said some yearsago. But since then he haschanged: he now advocates thecreation of a black nationthrough black unity.

Baraka, a graduate of HowardUniversity, has tried in his writ-ings to expose the problems of.blacks to whites. With time,however, he began to feel thatthis was useless, so he turnedto bl&ck iitftiortajtefti.

Committee Works OnCampus Beautif ication

GUEST SPEAKER: Congressman Jonathan Bingham dis-cusses Nixon and other matters with Pol. Sci. 81 students.

Bingbwn Blames Defiant*For Impeachment Talk

"If President Nixon had never defied the court in re-gard to the Watergate tapes, talk of impeachment wouldnot have gone as far as it has today," claimed New YorkCongressman Jonathan Bingham;

Serving as guest lecturer in Dr. Alan Wolk's PoliticalScience 81: Field Work andSeminar in American Govern-ment class, on November 19,Representative Bingham added:"Right now, there are not enoughvotes to impeach the President."

Part of the problem, he said,is deciding what is an impeach-able crime. Bribery, treason orother high crimes or misdemea-nors are grounds of impeach--merit, but how do you define"misdemeanors" he asked.

Washingtonians, he revealed,are referring to the firing ofSpecial Watergate ProsecutorArchibald Cox arid Assistant At-torney General William Ruckel-shaus and the resignation of At-torney General Elliott Richard-son, all 'within'a few hours, as"the Saturday night Massacre,"Congressman Bingham said "IfNixon had stuck to that attitudehe would have been impeachedquite quickly — that is, had henot backed down.1'

Beat the BossFocusing on ,his own political

career, Mr. Bingham told theclass he was proof tiiat "you cantake on the establishment andwin — sometimes." R u n n i n gagainst a strong Bronx machinein 1964, odds were against hiswinning. But with the enthu-siasm of five reform clubs, manyyoung volunteers, arfd personal,"hand-shaking" campaigning, theseemingly i m p b s s i b l e wasachieved.

"This is the wa'y things arenow. All over the'country peoplewith no special connections arebeing elected to 'Conjgress," hesaid. "Under the'primary sys-tem, you get better'people run-ning for Congress. 'You get muchrepresentation of minorities. In1965 there were three Blacks inCongress. Today there are thir-teen and there will be more.Congress has become more rep-resentative arid closer to thepeople it represents.*'

War Powers BillTurning to the recent War

Powers Bill, Representative Bing-ham explained, "The problem isthe Constitution gives Congressthe right to declare war but italso says the President is Com-mander-in-Chief. We've only had

five declared wars, but we've hada hundred involvements in va-rious hostilities. The questionwas how can Congress stop it."

He outlined his involvementin the entire procedure of hav-ing the bill pass into law—fromfirst draft, to committee, to fi-nalized bill, to passage in bothhouses, to presidential veto, andfinally to overriding the veto.

The bill limits the President'swar-making powers to ninetydays. "For the first time thisyear Congress showed it was in-dependent," Representative Bing-ham told the students. "This isimportant legislation because itwill fill a gap in the Constitu-tion."

By MARIA IOVIENOOf the many projects, commit-

tees, and organizations here atBronx Community College, per-haps one of the most importantis the BCC Beautification Com-mittee, headed by Prof. PatriciaBabnis, of the Chemistry Depart-ment.

According to Prof. Babnis, thecommittee was formed "to main-tain and improve the beauty ofthe campus and to directly in-volve students and faculty inplanning the group's activities.Presently, about five studentsand 10 to 12 faculty membersare actively involved, but morevolunteers will be needed if thecommittee is to succeed.

One of the group's earliestaccomplishments, thanks to thegenerosity of Mr. Dennis Brownand Mrs. Ann Smith of the BronxBotanical Gardens, was theplanting of 175 of the Garden'srose bushes in _the Quadrangleoverlooking the north side ofOhio Field. Other improvementsinclude the planting of ivy, azae-lia, and shrubs contributed byBCC staff and faculty.

It is obvious, from the tre-mendous amount of potted plantsin her office, that Prof. Babnistruly loves horticulture. Not onlyhas she donated many hours ofher time to the committee andits work, but she has also goneinto her own pocket to providefunds for projects where funds

Financial Aid HotlineWhy isn't there ever enoughaid available through the finan-cial jtid office to help all theB€€ students who need it?

The BOG Financial Aid Of-fice applies each year for enoughfinancial aid money to help everyneedy full-time student in thecollege. We apply for the max-imum allowable in each programevery year. However, when wereceive our allocation from theDepartment of Health, Educa-tion, and Welfare, it is only apercentage of what we askedfor. This is because Congressand the Administration do notappropriate enough money tohelp all the needy students inthe country. As a result. BCCand all other colleges get justpart of the money they reallyneed.

* * »Do other schools have a short-age of funds also?

Yes. When there is not enoughmoney to go around nationally,all colleges are allocated lessthan they need. Relative to theseother colleges, BCC receives anextremely large amount of finan-cial aid funds. Since we alsohave an extremely large num-ber of students who apply forfinancial aid and are eligible forit, however, our funds still runout before we have been ableto help everyone who needs it.

* * *How is it determined who willreceive financial aid and whowon't?

According to federal regula-tions and CUNY-wide principles,the neediest applicants for finan-cial aid must be served beforethe less needy. The major cri-teria in determining the need ofa student include the size, com-position, income and assets ofime student's family. In order toinsure that all CUNY studentsare considered for financial aidin an equitable and consistentfashion, one university-wide ap-plication is used. This applica-tion was designed by the CollegeScholarship Service, a nation-wide non - profit organizationwhich is used by over 500 col-leges and universities.

The College Scholarship Serv-ice analyzes a student's finan-

cial situation as it is describedon the financial aid applicationwhich the student fills out eachyear. The Service determineswhich of the following categoriesthe student falls into: 1. studentis in the first priority of needand should be considered for aidbefore priorities two and three.2. student is in the second pri-ority of need and should be con-sidered for aid after students inpriority one, but before studentsin priority three. 3. student isin the third priority of need andshould be considered for aid, butonly after priorities one and twohave been aided. 4. studentdoes not need financial aid toattend college.

T5he Financial Aid Office givesaid to students in priority order(one, two, then three) until thefunds run out. Students in pri-orities one and two are usuallyaided by the college. Students inpriority three often are not, dueto lack of funds. Since financialaid funds are committed to stu-dents by September, studentswho apply for aid after theschool year has started areusually too late to receive any-thing no matter what their pri-ority.

Fortunately, there is onesource of aid for students whichdoes not run out. Students whocannot receive aid through thecollege programs can apply fora New York State GuaranteedStudent Loan any time duringthe academic year.

Guards TellOf FrequentResentment

By ROSE CUMMINGS"Students resent us arid some-

times they even harass us," wasthe main complaint voiced bythe guards stationed at BOC'sentrance on University Avenue.

I spoke with Mr. Will Hunterand Mr. A. Scott, HI, who ex-plained how some students lookupon them as policemen who arethere to make unnecessary de-mands. They emphasized thatthey are not policemen, thatthey are not armed, and thatthey're only there to keep outunauthorized persons.

Some students become abusivewhen asked to show their iden-tification cards, they explained,and some students will not com-ply with the rule which requiresthem to identify their cars withBG?C stickers. They hope thatstudents realize that these rulesare set by school officials andnot by the guards themselves.

Mr. Scott looked frustrated aswell as angry as he related anincident which occurred a fewweeks ago. He told me thatschool administrators had in-formed the guards that theywere not to allow the playing ofsports on the grass since athle-tics facilities are provided. Mr.Scott said that when he tried toexplain to a group of studentsthat they could not continueplaying football on the grass,they became abusive and hostiletowards him.

The guards expressed their re-sentment of this treatment, butassured me that these studentswere a minority. They urge allstudents to cooperate with thecollege policies which they arethere to enforce.

President of SeekersBelieves in Miracles

By STEVE DIXON"Faith in God can move mighty

mountains," proclaimed RichardVelez, a 22-year-old, bespectacledmusic major at BCC. Should youmeet him on campus, you wouldsurely be drawn into a Biblicaldiscussion.

And don't be surprised if youshould see him pull out his Biblefrom his school bag to substan-tiate what he says. When theconversation ends, he'll hand youa tract to read.

Richard is a Christian, andbesides all other text books, hebrings his Bible to school, par-ticularly on Thursdays. Why onThursdays? It's because the Seek-ers Club holds its meetings then,and Richard is president of theclub.

The Seekers is a group ofabout 40 students who believethat Christ is the way, the truth,and the life.

If you were to drop into theirmeetings which are held from 12to 2 p.m. in Tech II, you wouldsee Richard, a Puerto Rican, con-ducting club activities. If youwere early, you would see himleading the club in prayer andsong to start the program.

As I talked to him, he re-vealed that he was saved fromsin when he was 19. Said Richard,"I realized that I was not serv-ing God; Satan was my master."

Passing his right hand overhis hair as if to comb it, he con-tinued, "Then one day I gotdown on my knees and I re-pented of my sins.

"I told God, 'Lord I want toserve you. I want to love you,and lift up your name.'"

His parents are also devoutChristians and have influencedhim in his turning to Christ.They recently opened a smallchurch in the Bronx called theLight House where services areconducted in Spanish and Eng-lish. Richard helps out in thechurch by teaching Sundayschool.

Richard believes that miraclescan happen through faith inGod and he cites the example ofhis mother being cured frompneumonia.

Obviously excited, he relatedthe story, saying, "One nightduring the time she was sick,I visited another church to listento a dynamic preacher. After thesermon, the preacher called onthose who were sick to come

forward for prayer."I was not sick, but I went

forward, believing that God-would heal my mother throughmy faith. When the service wasover, my parents came by to pickme up. And my mother had re-covered from her illness."

Richard summarized his feel-ings by saying, "So long as onehas faith in God, all things arepossible."

Swamis VisitNew Course

Demonstrations hi sensoryawareness, visits by disciples ofswamis, lectures by practitionersof Scientology and transcendentalmeditation — these are some ofthe activities in one of the newercourses on campus: English 81,Oriental Thought in WesternLiterature.

''My own background is inZen," explains the instructor,Prof. Jerry Lebowitz. "Two ofmy teachers were Nakagawa Ro-shi and Alan Watts; but what Iam interested in is to bring out,through literature and visits bypeople in various disciplines, themystical core of all Easternthought. My aim is to groundthe Western student in the feel-ing that he is one with the uni-verse, whether you call this ex-perience nirvana, satorl or justplain ecological awareness.

"Without this rootedness,"Prof. Lebowitz concludes, "mod-ern man will surely .doom him-,self through a technology runwild."

Health ServicesHelp DetailedBy DR. J. JUECHTER

Where can you go for healthservices?

For a good start you could gostraight to the Health ServiceOffice on the lower level ofLoew and ask for the greenbooklet Health Help in a Hurry.This is a compilation of healthresources ranging from sicklecell testing to mental healthclinics which are available tostudents. If this seems too im-personal, the Health Service orhealth educators could assist youwith a referral. As you mayknow the CUNY by-laws preventestablishing a primary medicalfacility on the campus.

Recently) Ms. Sonia Hartmann,Director of the Bronx MaternityGuidance Center, visited the col-lege to talk about the healthcenter opening adjacent to tiwcampus at 206 West 180th Street,which is at the southwest cor-ner of our campus. This clinicwill be fully staffed for the threeexamining rooms with hoursfrom 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesdaysand Wednesdays.

Ms. Hartmann talked with en-thusiasm and excitement aboutthis federally funded servicewhich has a strong communitylink. The staff, recruited fromthe community, has been trainedat Albert Einstein hospital asexterns. The clinic prefers totake care of you by appoint-ment; however, if you have anemergency problem, you will notbe turned away.

In general, the externs pro-vide all of the usual services fopfamijy planning, vefiereal diseaseand pap testing as vrett as pre-natal care. Abortions are re-ferred elsewhere. IF Ms. Hart-mann's intensity and joy are anyindication, the clinic will be aspecial service for students.

In tandem with this clinic,the lower level of the house at206 West 180th is BOC's recentlyopened Women's Center. This isthe first time this group hashad a real home at the college.The Women's Center will beavailable for many activities in-cluding counseling, consciousness-raising and other campus serv-ices.

Maybe the way to change the worldis to join a large corporation.We don't make a lot of noise, but this is where it's

really happening. You see, a large corporation like Kodak hasthe resources and the skill to make this world a little more de-cent place to live. And we intend to do what we can to seethat this is exactly what happens.

Take our home city, Rochester, New York for exam-ple. We cut water pollution in the Genesee River by usingnatural bacteria to dispose of unnatural wastes. We cut airpollution by using electrostatic precipitators in a new com-bustible waste disposal facility. We helped set up a blackenterprise program in downtown Rochester, and we've beenexperimenting with film as a way to train both teachers andstudents—including some students who wouldn't respond toanything else.

And we didn't stop with Rochester. Kodak is involvedin 47 countries all over the world. Actively involved.

Why? Because it's good business. Helping to cleanthe Genesee River not only benefits society... but helps pro-tect another possible source for the clean water we need tomake our film. Our combustible waste disposal facility notonly reduces pollution... but just about pays for itself inheat and power production and silver recovery. Our blackenterprise program not only provides an opportunity for theeconomically disadvantaged... but helps stabilize communi-ties in which Kodak can operate and grow. And distributingcameras and film to teachers and students not only helpsmotivate the children... but helps create a whole new market.

In short, it's simply good business. And we're in busi-ness to make a profit. But in furthering our business interests,we also further society's interests.

And that's good. After all, our business depends onsociety. So we care what happens to it.

Kibbee Seeks NationalFree Tuition Campaign

Chancellor Robert J. Kibbee of the City University ofNew York has called for a national campaign to obtain tui-tion-free undergraduate education at public colleges anduniversities across the country.

Dr. Kibbee made his proposal at a press conferencefollowing a general session ofthe annual convention of the Na-tional Association of State Uni-versities and Land Grant Col-leges which heard RepresentativeJames G. O'Hara of Michigan,chairman of the House SpecialSubcommittee on Education, cri-ticize a recent report of the Com-mittee for Economic Develop-ment urging that public highereducation tuitions be pegged at50 percent of institutional e:j.sts.

Citing City University's 127-year policy of tuition-free under-graduate education, Dr. Kibbeeasked that it "serve as a model"in any national effort to expandaccessibility to public higher edu-cation.

CUNY's chancellor, the topadministrator of the largesturban university in the world,said that his institution's tu i t ion-free policy "h;<s convincinglydemonstrated that education,especially higher education - - isan effective mechanism for gen-erating social and economic mo-bility, core commitments of ademocratic society." He notedthat CUNY's colleges now enrollover 250,000 students and thatNew York City high schoolgraduates have the highest col-lege-going rate in the nation.

Call to ActioniDr. Kibbee called for a na-

tional campaign patterned on thedrive that culminated in the 1964Civil Rights Act. He declared,""RpoauL^o ftGrv\ivT\e access "tohigher education concerns somany across this land, I balievewe can today mount a similar

Robert J. Kibbee

broadly-based coalition in sup-port of federal incentives thatwill cause the states to removetheir tuition barriers."

Chancellor Kibbee assertedthat college "is today as essen-tial for meaningful participationin our society as was elementaryand secondary schooling f i f t yyears ago."

Citing the increase in publ icuniversity tuitions since the tui-tion-free years following enact-ment of the Morrill Act, Dr.Kibl>ee said, "today by almostany measure of social progresswe are lagging — and laggingbadly — in not having made col-legiate education as accessible aswas high school genuinely avail-able to most American young-sters in the 1920's."

Union Blasts Chancellor For'World's Highest' Attrition

The City University faculty union has issued a scath-ing indictment of Chancellor Robert J. Kibbee for "the pro-duction of the highest college-dropout rate in the world."

In a telegram to the National Asociation of State Uni-versity and Land Grant Colleges, meeting in Denver, whereDr. Kibbee proposed a national ^ _second and third yearg Qfcampaign for free tuition, union Qpen Admissions> 1971 throughPresident Belle Zeller said:

"Accessibility must be coupledwith commitment to the integrityand quality of higher educationif it is not to become the cyni-cal, meaningless platitude it ison the lips of Chancellor Kib-bee."

Dr. Zeller challenged Chancel-lor Kibbee's claim that CUNY"has convincingly demonstratedthat higher education is an ef-fective mechanism for generat-ing social and economic mo-bility."

The union claims that thou-sands of students admitted un-der CUNY's free tuition andOpen Admissions policies havebeen neglected and have subse-quently dropped out. It fur thercharges that the Chancellor hasresisted the union's demand thathe release dropout figures for

1973.The PSC estimates that the

dropout rates approached 50 per-cent in the community collegesand exceeded 30 percent in thesenior colleges during thoseyears. The national averages are34 percent and 22 percent re-spectively.

The only figures released bythe University administration arefor 1970-1971, which showeddropout rates at 38 percent and20.5 percent. But the union poi.itsout that in that year, the firstyear of Open Admissions, drop-outs were entirely voluntary asthe University was dismissing nostudents on academic grounds.Since 1971, however, academicsanctions have been applied atCUNY's colleges and, the unioncharges, the dropout rates havesoared.

Campus Liaison To Help PoliceIn Recruiting Minority Applicants

In cooperation with the Police Department's new minority recruitment program,Ted Awerman, of BCC's Placement Office, has been appointed campus liaison to help theNYPD get its message across to students.

CUNY presidents on all campuses have been naming representatives to assist thePolice in their recruitment drive. Special meetings for police recruiters to discuss careeropportunities with students are

graduates, United States citizensbeing arranged on all CUNYcampuses.

Target date for the first phaseof the new program, aimed atattracting at least 20,000 Black,Hispanic, Jewish and other mi-nority applicants into policework, is the December 15 openexamination.

CUNY Chancellor Robert J.Kibbee said that the universitywas cooperating in the recruit-ment drive not only to assist indeveloping minority employmentopportunity, but also because ofthe university's interest in help-ing develop a highly educatedpolice force in the city.

Two features of the new pro-gram will be of interest to ap-plicants. For the first time inrecent history the height require-ment for police officers has beenwaived; and twenty-five hours offree tutoring for the exam areavailable to applicants at variouscenters in the five boroughs.

Applicants must be high school

Hoopsters Face OpenerWith Early 4-2 Mark

The 1973-74 varsity basketball team completed thepre-season with a 4 up-2 down mark and is now awaitingthe start of the regular season play, which will open againstSUNY at Purchase on November 29 at 7:30 in the HeightsGymnasium.

Charles Vasser and WilliamRobinson Were elected co-cap-tains of this year's team. Ro-binson, a second year player, wasa standout during the 1972-73season. Vasser has been at BCCsince January and has a straightA average. Coach Whelan feelsthat both will handle the re-

• sponsibilities of captain ex-tremely well.

•The Bronx basketballers have" already shown signs that they

will improve last year's record.Exceptionally good games,againstLehman College, Yeshiva Univer-sity and the alumni gave theteam a sense of direction andteamwork. •

Probable starters include Mi-chael Wicks, who is returningafter a year's lay off. Wicks'moves to the basket, as well ashis outstanding rebounding, area beautiful sight, according toCoach Whelan. Dave Harris at6'4" will add considerable lusterto the Bronco's rebounding. Wil-fredo Rivera's outstanding shoot-ing, offensive rebounding, andintelligence make him an im-portant starter. He was the lead-ing scorer during the pre-season.

Co-captain Bill Robinson willhandle the play-making and addhis offensive punch to the line-up.

The fifth starter could be anydf five players, depending onthe opposition. Luftdn Johnsonlooked like a starter, Tfet poorgrades Have forced him to dropthe club at this time. CharlesVasser, a 6'3" forward with agood Shot, could also start. PaulTtirner, a quick, high«coringiifuara, has impressed the coachalid- may' start. Ronald Stack-house, a good shooting forward,looks like he is adjusting to thebrand of basketball played hereat BCC. Foster Hill picks up alot of rebounds and scores fairlywell inside, has come on strongly,and may start. Rob Clay, a good
