Proposals Modified Slightly

Council Acts on ParkingThe Campus Council rejected

a proposal Tuesday night to vetothe transportation committee re-port on campus parking eligibilityrequirements and distribution ofparking spaces.

The final proposals, which takeeffect Sept 1, are basically thesame as the earlier proposedchanges by the committee ex-cept for modification of the twomost controversial issues. " U "permits will now be available tofaculty and exempt staff at theminimum CPO5 salary level orgreater Exempt or nonexemptemployees will continue to beeligible if they have 25 years ormore continuous service to theUniversity There will be no pro-posed change, in eligibility re-quirements for "E" and " U 1 "permits.

The modifications were madeafter the committee received nu-merous written complaints andsuggestions and heard objec-tions voiced by employees at itsopen hearing in April and atsubsequent meetings.

The proposals, according toWilliam E Wendt, director of theOffice of Transportation Services,are meant as immediate reme-dies to ease the current demandfor interior campus parking andto increase short-term parking oncampus

The changes are part of along-range transportation plan-ning effort directed towrrd themost suitable and efficient cam-pus parking system, according tothe committee report Copies ofthe final report, including ration-ale for all changes, are availableat the council office, 133 DayHall The minimum CPO5 salaryis currently $14,210 Under theearlier proposal, only exemptemployees at the CPO5 level,regardless of salary, would havebeen eligible.

By using the minimum CPO5salary level, the report stated,eligibility standards are adjustedfor inflation from the original1970 $9,000 salary require-ment, which is now used todetermine eligibility In addition,lower-level exempt staff earningthe minimum salary by virtue ofspecific job tasks or long-termservice would be eligible

The transportation committeedecided not to change eligibilityrequirements for "E" and " U 1 "permits, which would have lim-ited permits to exempt employ-ees Any faculty or staff memberwill continue to be eligible forthese permits on a first-come,

first-served, limited sale basis Acertain number of permits will bereserved for sale to staff withspecial parking needs upon spe-cial request

The committee estimates,however, that competition for"E" permits will increase due toadditional demand by about 100to 200 displaced former " U "parkers and due to reduction of"E" and " U 1 " parking spaces.Wendt said that the newly pro-posed "HN" permits for spaceson Balch Drive and "U2" permitsfor spaces on Upper Tower Rdand Wing Drive would reducethat competition "HN" and"U2" permits will be available toany faculty or staff member.

The commit tee decidedagainst raising prices for permitsas a way of reducing demand forinterior campus parking, since itwas estimated that a 100percent increase would be nec-essary to have a significant ef-fect The committee felt a priceincrease would be unjustifiablewithout a comparable increase inservices

Another option explored toreduce demand would be to limitthe number of " U " permits sold,but this would "unnecessarilypenalize faculty and staff onleave from the University or new-ly hired who would not be pres-ent at the time of initial sale "

Council members votedagainst a motion to override thecommittee recommendationsTwelve votes are necessary toveto a committee report, accord-ing to the council charter

Mary Ott, a council member,said the University community,particularly those most affected,were not adequately informed ofthe parking proposals She saidpetitions had been signed by 494employees expressing their dis-approval Several employees at-tended the council meeting andcomplained about the lack ofpublicity

Wendt said there was a lot ofmisunderstanding when petitionswere circulating due to "misin-formation" being released pre-maturely by a committee mem-ber But, he added that thecommittee has gone to a greatextent to receive community in-put, and that the proposals havebeen modified to reflect the con-cerns of those affected

In other business, the council:—at the request of President

Frank Rhodes, amended a sec-tion of its previously approved

New Rates OutlinedContinued from Page 1

the plan is under 6 percent,according to Nissenson. "We feelwe have the most com-prehensive program available forthe prices quoted We've been inthe market all year looking atdifferent companies, but feel thatMutual of Omaha offers the mostsatisfactory coverage."

"We're announcing theprojected rates for next year atthis time so students can haveample opportunity to shoparound, evaluate comparableplans, ask questions and makeinformed decisions If anyonedoes find a better program, I

would like to hear about it, "Nissenson said

Students have until the end ofSeptember to decide whether ornot they want to enroll in theUniversity-sponsored plan. En-rollees will be covered from Sept1, 1978, through Aug 31, 1979A waiver form, which will be sentout over the summer, must besigned before the end of Sep-tember by any student whowishes to decline this coverage

Indians Explain Position

Two Are ElectedWhite Professors

The North American Indiansat Cornell (NAIC) positiontoward the Student AllianceAgainst Racism is printed below.Following it is the SAARresponse.

We, the North American Indi-ans at Cornell (NAIC). wish toclarify our position concerningthe Student Alliance Against Ra-cism (SAAR). and the demandsthey present to the Cornell Uni-versity Administration and theBoard of Trustees.

The following recent eventsforce us to issue this statementWe list them as incidents il-lustrating the manner in whichour group's ideas have beencontinuously ignored.

1 Last week, the Vice-Presi-dent of our organization wasapproached by leaders of SAARThis was the first time NAIC wasinformed of any meetings ofSAAR Presumably, mattersdirectly concerning NAIC werediscussed prior to this

2. At a meeting of the EthnicStudies Coalition on Wednesday.April 19. 1978, its Chairmanstated that he was speaking onbehalf of all minorities at CornellUniversity, which includes AsianAmericans. Hispanics and NativeAmericans NAIC's Vice-Presi-dent responded at that time thatthe Chairman could not speak forNative Americans. Apparentlythis response is being ignored.

Our feeling is that only peopleauthorized by NAIC can speak forthat group. This is central to theissue of our position; that wemust have equal representationin the campus affairs that bearon our needs and interests. Andwe quote Noble Bratton. Leaderof SAAR. (speaking at the Forumheld by SAAR on Wednesday,April 26, 1978): "Nobody knowsthe best interests of our groupthan the group ourselves ..Thenext time you try to decidewhat's best for somebody, I sug-gest you ask that somebodywhat their best interests are."

3. A statement of demandswas issued to the press onFriday. April 21. 1978 by SAARwithout the knowledge or con-sent of NAIC We made astatement to the press that after-noon stating that we did notagree to any part of the demandsuntil the whole group could dis-cuss the matter There weremeetings held Sunday and Mon-day. April 23 and 24 Attendingwere members of the AsianAmerican Student Association,NAIC and leaders of SAAR.Leaders of SAAR threatened thatif any group/organizat ionwithdrew, they would not sharein the benefits of the programsdemanded by SAAR. After theMonday meeting, it appearedthat all the demands were satis-factory to all concerned How-ever, Monday night and earlyTuesday morning, what was tobe a simple retyping of the finaldraft of the demands, turned intoa revision without NAIC consentor knowledge

4 On Tuesday, April 25, afterlearning of the changes, the rep-resentatives of NAIC "dis-covered" a meeting in progressof which they were not informedThe meeting was held by leadersof SAAR to plan "tacticalstrategies " The NAIC represent-

atives attempted to participatebut were asked to leave

5. An inaccurate statementwas published by the CornellDaily Sun on Wednesday, April26. stating that NAIC withdrewsupport because the demandswere unreasonable and un-representative.

The above scenario clearlydemonstrates the unilateral be-havior of SAAR toward NAIC.

We want to share our culturalviewpoints. This is the expresseddesire of SAAR, yet they havenot allowed us to do this Wefeel that we have been vic-timized by SAARs culturalmyopia The potential conse-quences of this lack of represen-tation are of concern to allminority groups For example,without consultation with NAIC.SAAR printed incorrect informa-tion stating that the populationof Indian students at Cornell

University was declining. This in-accuracy is detrimental to theNative American cause atCornell University Also, the de-mand calling for the requirementthat 60 percent of minority stu-dents be economically disadvan-taged is considered to becounter-product ive to ourrecruitment goals Again, wereiterate our strong need forrepresentation for NAIC. We feelthat without a voice the issuescurrently presented will be theonly ones that are brought tolight There are many issues per-tinent to Indians that requireequal attention

Again, we reiterate our strongneed for representation for NAICWe feel that without a voice theissues currently presented will bethe only ones that are brought tolight There are many issuespertinent to Indians that requireequal attention

'Alliance AttemptedTo Involve NAIC'Editor

It is unfortunate that the NorthAmerican Indians at Cornell(NAIC) felt it necessary to statepublicly their differences with theStudent Alliance Against Racism(SAAR) without first discussingthem with us We in SAARrespect opposing views. Regret-fully, in this instance, we feel thatNAIC's position is based on aninitial mistrust of our intentionsand an unwillingness to view oursubsequent actions in an objec-tive fashion Throughout the longand tedious process of for-mulating our demands we madeevery effort to discuss the issueswith NAIC In the end we be-lieved that our revisions wouldbe satisfactory to them, and allother parties involved

On April 1 3, after a meeting ofa subcommittee of the MinorityFinance Commission, SusanMaze (leader of SAAR) met withTim Warner and other NativeAmericans Susan brieflyelaborated the intentions ofSAAR and stated that we desiredNative American input in puttingtogether our demands. Tim re-sponded that because of thethreat of withdrawal of federalscholarship funds, Native Ameri-cans at Cornell could not partici-pate in any political movement.

SAAR held open meetingsthroughout the weeks of April 9and April 16 These were widelypublicized in the media Never-theless, no Native Americans at-tended any of them

A statement of demands wasreleased to the press on April 21.Shortly before the press con-ference we were informed thatthe Native Americans and otherswere dissatisfied with our draftWa met with them, discussedtheir concerns, and together de-cided that we would inform thepress that our demands weretentative, pending suitable re-visions.

We met together on April 23to review and rewrite the de-mands. There was constructivediscussion of the issues andfinally everyone felt that we hadresolved them to our mutual

satisfaction Nevertheless, weurged the Native Americans tojoin us that night in preparing thefinal draft to assure its accuracy.They did not choose to attend, sowe drafted the demands in ac-cordance with our notes from theafternoon meeting

The following day SAAR helda tactical meeting to plan for aresponse on Thursday to theWednesday Forum with Presi-dent Rhodes The Native Ameri-cans were not invited becausethey had publicly stated that theydid not wish to become political-ly involved When they arrived atthe meeting, wanting to discussthe demands, we felt that thegroup's attention could not bediverted from the task before it.We communicated to them thenature of the meeting and sug-gested that they talk with someof our leadership outside At thispoint they departed withoutfurther discussion

Since then, communicationshave broken down completely.We agree that the Native Ameri-cans "must have equal represen-tation in the campus affairs thatbear on their needs and in-terests " The demand for 60

percent of minorities to comefrom economically disadvan-taged backgrounds wasamended in the final version of

the demands to exclude NativeAmericans Furthermore, thestatement on Native Americanenrollment was deleted. We feel,despite the hardships imposedon us by lack of time, that wemade a sincere effort to com-municate with and accom-modate the needs of the NativeAmericans. It would indeed beironic for a group calling itself theStudent Alliance Against Racismto ignore the interests of anyminority group

'Sills Ticket SalesHandled Unfairly'

King of the KeyboardsCORNELL CHRONICLE 5

EditorThe Ithaca Journal recently

reported rumors to the effect thattickets to the Beverly Sills con-cert on the Cornell campus havebeen scalped for between $20and $60 Such reports are norumors, despite Concert Man-ager Mariann Carlin's commentthat such reports were "un-believable '

I was one of the few fortunateenough to obtain tickets by arriv-ing early enough in line on themorning that sales began Oneperson at the very front of theline was offered $40 for oneticket by a person at the end ofthe line on that same morning,and I have heard of other suchincidents

It seems clear that the primaryreason this situation has oc-curred is because each individualin line was allowed to purchasefour tickets per person. Consider-ing the obvious popularity ofsuch a concert, and the fact that

Miss Sills will soon be retiringfrom the stage, it should nothave been difficult for those run-ning the concert to anticipatethis problem by further limitingthe number of tickets per personwhich could be purchased

More serious than this over-sight however, was the fact thata great many tickets were soldbefore tickets went on sale pub-licly April 10 Having boughttickets to single events in theconcert series this past year, Iwas generally familiar with whatseats in Bailey Hall had beensold to season ticket holders, andit was evident from viewing theseating chart that many moreseats had been sold beforehandSuch a practice hardly seems fairto the many people who both-ered to get up early to stand inline and wait for their chance toobtain tickets.

Robert SpitzerGovernment

Concert ManagerRebuts CriticismEditor

In the past several years theFaculty Committee on Music hassponsored many concerts bysuch preeminent vocalists asJoan Sutherland, Leontyne Priceand Luciano Pavorotti Prior tothe Sills concert there was neverany need to limit the number oftickets per purchaser In the caseof the Sills concert because ofthe many inquiries before thepublic sale, we set the limit atfour tickets per person Thiswould allow families a chance tobring children to Bailey Hall.

For many months before thetickets went on sale we receivedrequests for reservations from asfar away as Texas, Massachu-setts, Virginia and New York CityAll such requests were returnedwith the explanation that infairness to our local patrons allavailable seats would be put onsale Monday, April 10, at 9 a.m.

The one exception to this rulewas the honoring of a requestfrom the NY Federation of Mu-sic Clubs whose Biennial Con-vention was being held in Ithaca.The sale of thirty tickets to thisgroup was approved.

That morning the ticket officephone was answered by a re-cording which stated phone or-ders would not be accepted untilall people on the waiting linewere served.

The ticket office maintained awaiting list for stage seats andthe resale of returned tickets. Assoon as these became availablepeople were called This wasdone as late as the day of theconcert Scalping rumors not-withstanding, some tickets wereturned in to the box office bysubscribers the night of the con-cert for resale at standard priceand remained UNSOLD.

Male Secretary Plays PianoRaymond Kretchmer is a pro

at the keyboard, whether he'splaying the piano or poundingthe typewriter.

When Kretchmer isn't on thejob as one of the few malesecretaries at Cornell in the De-partment of City and RegionalPlanning, he's busy teaching orpracticing piano and giving asmany on-campus concerts as hecan.

He majored in piano at Cornelland was graduated last year. PhiBeta Kappa and with DistinctionHe gave many concerts as anundergraduate and has con-tinued to do so this year, evenwhile holding down a full-timejob since last October as senioradministrative secretary forBarclay Jones, professor of cityand regional planning and co-director of the program in Urbanand Regional Studies,

And, what's more, he hasperfected his secretarial skills toa point that would make evenKatharine Gibbs jump for joy:about 100 words per minute onthe typewriter and 120 wordsper minute taking shorthand.

Working at a job that has beentraditionally female-dominateddoesn' t seem to phaseKretchmer a bit. "Actually, Idon't think about it that much.Besides, most people I come intocontact with are mature andopen-minded enough to realize itdoesn't matter as long as you dothe job well. No one has ribbedme about it, and even if they did,I have a strong enough person-ality to deal with it." he said.

At first, some people are sur-prised when they find out abouthis being a secretary, he said "Ithink it intrigues people. Theywant to see who I am."

And there have been cases of"mistaken identity." "When I an-swer the telephone, sometimespeople will assume I'm ProfessorJones Even though I've said I'mhis secretary, because they heara male voice, they wont hear theword 'secretary,' until I repeat ita couple of times." he explained

The only thing that does seemto irritate Kretchmer is whenpeople joke about "limbering up"his fingers on the typewriter inorder to get them in shape forpiano playing. "As a matter offact. I think the typing makes myfingers stiff," he complained. It'sprobably one of the few gripeshe'll make about his job.

Even though he eventuallywants to make music his career—whether it's as a concert pian-ist or a combination of teachingand performing at an academicinstitution, being a secretary is arewarding and enjoyable alter-native, especially at Cornell.

"I like working in an academic

environment Because I went toCornell, I'm familiar with thesurroundings and relate well toprofessors. I'm learning a greatdeal about administration,academia and how professorsmake decisions." he said.

His flexible office hours whichallow for occasional piano prac-ticing in Lincoln Hall, constitute afringe benefit that Kretchmer ap-preciates. "Professor Jones hasbeen extremely generous andconsiderate about my being apianist, and I find that flattering."

"I don't think I'd fit in as wellin a legal office or in industry,where there's a more stiltedatmosphere. Here, people areeasy-going and informal. You'reallowed to be different, to beyourself." he added.

After graduating from Cornelllast year. Kretchmer had no trou-ble securing a part-time job inthe Office of the Senior VicePresident "I ended up workingfor several people on the thirdfloor of Day Hall, and learned agreat deal about the way Cornellworks from the secretaries I metthere."

Kretchmer first learned to typein junior high school and hassince found it a handy skill. Ithelped him get several goodwork-study positions as an un-dergraduate, and now he canalways type a thesis or two if heneeds extra money. He has typed

Chinese Family IsSubject of Lecture

Margery Wolf, author of sever-al books and papers on womenand the family in China, willspeak at 4 p m Monday, May 8,in 117 Ives Hall.

The subject of Wolf's talk,which is free and open to thepublic, is "Women's Families inTraditional China and America 'Her talk is sponsored by Cornell'sChina-Japan Program, the Socie-ty for the Humanities and theWomen's Studies Program.

Wolf is currently engaged inthe preparation of a comparativestudy of American and Chinesefamilies, and is conducting re-

search into the characteristics ofwhat she has called "the uterinefamily " in both societies

Her two major publications are"The House of Lim," a portrait ofa Taiwanese family, and "Wom-en and the Family in RuralTaiwan," a view of the Chinesepatrilineage from the perspectiveof its wives, mothers and daugh-ters. She is co-editor of a broadcollection of papers titled "Wom-en in Chinese Society."

Wolf now lives in Stanford,Calif, though she lived in Ithacafor many years.

and written a number of reportsfor different offices, includingThe Student Handbook for theCOSEP office.

He added to his skills by takinga course in shorthand as anelective. "I got flack about takingshorthand from some people, butI went ahead anyway. I thoughtit would be useful. Not surpris-ingly, I was the only male in theclass The course was a releasefrom academic work, and I madesome lasting acquaintanceshipswith the secretaries in the class.And at Cornell, secretaries andstudents seldom get to know oneanother." he said.

Kretchmer's enthusiasm reallybegins to bubble when he startstalking about music. "I beganstudying the piano when I wasfive and have not stopped since.My whole life revolves aroundthe piano whether I'm per-forming, practicing, teaching orlistening to it. Piano is what Ilove—it's not just a hobby. Idon't have time for hobbies."

He says performing is exciting,flattering ("I love the applause!")and is overjoyed when his friendscome to see him play

Once he is on the stage, hedispels any nervousness he mayhave had beforehand byprojecting an air of self-con-fidence that he says is essential:"Your visual stage presence isjust as important as the actualperformance. Even if you make amistake, you must continue as ifnothing happened It's thestream of music that matters, theeffect it has on the audience."

He'll be giving two free con-certs this month in Barnes Hall,both sponsored by the Depart-ment of Music He and PaulRosenbloom, a doctoral can-didate in musical arts, will playworks by Liszt, Bach, Mozart andSaint-Saens at 4 p.m. onMother's Day. May 14. And onMay 27 at 8:15 p.m.. he will beperforming Brahms D-minor vio-lin and piano sonata, op. 108with Julie Kedersha, a senior inthe College of Arts and Sciences.

Whether he's on the stageperforming or in the office typing,the most important thing.Kretchmer concludes, is to be"ambitious, skilled, confident andlike what you're doing."

Croatian Expert to Retire

Dr. Kirk greets the dog who served as a model for photographs in hisbook.

Book Outlines AidFor Injured Pets

If your dog or cat is hit by acar. swallows poison or hassome other medical emergency,what you do BEFORE it can betaken to a veterinary hospitalmay make the difference be-tween life and death

Dr Robert W. Kirk, professorof small animal medicine at theState College of Veterinary Med-icine and a veterinarian withmore than 30 years of clinicalexperience, has written the firstcomplete pet owners guide toemergency care of dogs, catsand other small animals

"First Aid for Pets," publishedby E P Dutton and available inbookstores and pet shopsthroughout the country, offersstep-by-step instructions for ad-ministering artificial respiration,treating shock, stopping bleed-ing, dressing wounds and givingspecific antidotes for poisons

The objectives of pet first aidwill sound familiar to anyonewho has taken a Red Cross firstaid course—to preserve life, al-leviate suffering, promote re-covery and prevent aggravationof the injury or illness until pro-fessional help can be obtained—and so will some of the principlesof treatment

But the differences in humanand animal anatomy make theactual treatment techniques dif-ferent enough that even an ex-perienced first-aider should ben-efit from Dr. Kirks suggestions.

"An injured animal, even if it isnormally your trusted friend, maynot recognize that you are tryingto help it Its reflex is to bite orscratch," Dr Kirk stressed Hisinstructions include ways to re-strain the injured animal so thatit will not hurt the first-aider oritself

The book includes suggestionsfor preventing serious accidentsand illnesses. Dogs that chasecars are often hit by them, forexample, and Dr Kirk offers sev-eral methods for breaking dogsof the habit

I wanted to include informa-tion on owner responsibilitythings that will ensure that the

pet is a pleasure and not a painfor either the owner or the neigh-bors," Dr Kirk said

The book also covers non-emergency medical treatmentsthat the pet owner may have toperform —making the cat or dogswallow a pill or take liquidmedication, trimming toenails.lifting a large or small dog to anexamining table, treating forfleas and ticks—and offers sug-gestions on feeding, house-breaking and removing urinestains from rugs and furniture

Dr Kirk suggests that petowners read the entire book toget a feel for what they can do inemergencies—then prepare afirst-aid kit stocked with thebasics needed to handle emer-gencies When an emergencyactually occurs, the specific prob-lem can be found in either thetable of contents or the indexand the location of the first-aidprocedures is indicated by easy-to-read boldface type

Once first aid has been admin-istered, the patient should betransported (instructions for safetransport are also presented) to aveterinarian for professional care,Dr Kirk stressed

Anthony Niseteos double lifeas a leading Croatian literaryfigure in exile and a librarian atCornell for the past 20 years willtake a decisive turn come June30

On that date he will retire fromCornell and pursue full-time hisfirst and last love, the Croatianlanguage and its literature.

Fluent in many languages.Niseteo. an American citizennow. has devoted considerableactivity to the translation ofpoetry, both of writers of variedlanguages and nationalities intoCroatian (recently a number ofAmerican poets including Whit-man, Eliot, Pound and Sand-burg), and Croatian writers intoother languages (recently TinUjevic's poetic essay "Libraries"into English).

Ante Kadic, a professor ofSlavic literature at Indiana Uni-versity, recently termed Niseteoas "summit" translator. Earlier, inhis book "Contemporary Croa-tian Literature," published in1960. Kadic wrote:

"As an emigre. Nizeteo con-tinued his education, earning ad-vanced degrees (from Fordham

m history, and from Columbia inlibrarianship). but he has recentlyshown a new zeal for writing.

More than in poetry, which usedto be his forte, he is now to becredited with the best pages of

Croatian prose written outsideYugoslavia (Bex povratka(Without Return), Buenos Aires,1957) The second part of thisbook, dealing with the older gen-eration of Croatian immigrants tothis country, who did not comehere for any ideological reasonsbut simply to earn a living, is trueto life, deep in psychologicaltreatment and superbly pres-en ted ; misunderstandingsamong his characters seem un-avoidable, though the actioncould turn in a completely op-posite direction Is Niseteo re-sponsible if, since his early youth,he has seen happy endings onlyin movies but not in the real lifeof those close to him?"

CORNELL CHRONICLE

Student Flips Over Spring

Student, Staff Art ShownPhotographic essays and

portraits, sculptures, drawingsand pa in t ings , mobi les,tapestries, poems, musical com-positions and even a hydrofoilsailboat are among the variedaccomplishments of Universitystudents and staff that have beendisplayed at the Herbert F. John-son Museum of Art.

The exhibition, "New Muses:Works by the Supported Artists,"sponsored by the Council of theCreative and Performing Arts atCornell, includes the creativeWorks of 24 persons awardedgrants by the council to en-Courage individual projects ofartistic merit

The council has sponsoredthree award competitions since1976, but this year is the firsttime the works of students andstaff have been shown publicly —a fact that pleases council mem-bers

"Projects considered by thecouncil should have a publicdimension and should benefit theCornell community, as well asfurther individual creative ef-forts," said Anna Geske, councilprogram administrator

The council, initiated in 1968to strengthen the artistic en-deavors of the Cornell communi-ty is made up of faculty andadministrators in the creativeand performing arts Other majorPrograms supported by the group'nclude the Chekhov and Con-temporary Writers Festival in1976-77 and an expansion thisyear of programs in internationalcreative and performing arts.Specifically Eastern Europeanand Asian music, film, dance,theater and art

The idea for an exhibition ofstudent and staff works wassuggested by President FrankRhodes last August in an in-formal meeting with councilmembers. Thomas Leavitt, direc-tor of the Johnson Museum anda council member, was respon-sible for making the exhibition areality

"I ts been a very special ex-hibit, and I've been happy withthe way it turned out A main

reason for supporting it is to callattention to what the Council hasdone to promote the arts And ithas been an exhibition of somevery mixed and beautiful works,"he said.

Since the council awardedgrants of up to $500 in justabout every medium of the arts,displaying the variety of creativeworks produced was one of thebasic considerations in assembl-ing the exhibit, according toMarc Werner, who organized theshow

Werner, a photographer, alsowas a participant in the show Hecollaborated with writer BrucePiasecki. a graduate student, toproduce a series of what they call"psychic portraits "

One of the more unusual itemsis a hydrofoil sailboat, displayedin the museum lobby Designedand built by Daniel Kershaw, asenior majoring in design andenvironmental analysis, the boatis made of mahogany and has a25-foot sail Similar to acatamaran, it consists of twohulls, one 14 feet long and theother 6 12 feet in length

The streamlined craft operateson a different principle than doesa regular sailboat, Kershaw said,and represents an advancementin naval design While he hasdone numerous successful testson smaller models of the boat, hehas yet to complete the big test

a launching of the boat in

Cayuga Lake, which he plans inthe near future

Sandra List, who holds abachelor's degree in fine arts, hascreated a series of portraits ofyouths from reform schools inthe Ithaca area The portraits,done in various mediums, at-tempt to express something ofthe personalities of the individ-uals portrayed, according to theartist.

A number of musical scores ofoperas, dances and symphoniesare also shown, and a taperecording of musical works isplayed in one of the diplayrooms Several of the works havebeen performed on the Cornellcampus, including a concert lastspring of Philip Greene's dancesuite "The Lament of CalamityJane," based upon the life offrontier woman Margaret Canary

Moss Likes Being InvolvedOnce during your lifetime—maybe twice if

you're lucky—you'll meet a person who does somuch, a person who is involved in so manyactivities that you just cant help but marvel.

Meet Cornell senior Anne Moss.If you've ever wondered how much can be done

in a 24-hour period, just look at Moss' accomplish-ments at Cornell: 1) a total of six varsity letters,three each in field hockey and lacrosse; 2) amember of the swimming team this year; 3) aresident advisor last year; 4) this year's president ofthe Cornell Women's Athletic Association; 5) and astudent-member of the President's Advisory Coun-cil on Physical Education and Athletics.

Even while participating in all of these activities.Moss has been able to maintain good grades. Nextyear, she plans to attend medical school at GeorgeWashington University.

Why is she involved in so many activities?"I really enjoy being involved," she said. "I just

cant sit still. I've got to be active."She spends about two and a half hours a day in

sports-related activities.She is currently the third leading scorer on the

lacrosse team with five goals in the Big Red's firstfour contests. She is back on the squad this seasonafter sitting out last year with a knee injury

"Were very glad that Anne is back this season."remarked Cheryl Wolf, coach of the women'slacrosse and field hockey teams "She's a very hardworker and I expect her to be one of our leadingscorers "

Moss didn't just bounce back from her kneeinjury "I had to work out with weights during thesummer and fall." said the Moorestown. N.J.native "And I decided to swim during the winterbecause I felt that it would strengthen my knee."

The Cornell Women's Athletic Association is thecentral organization for all Cornell women's teams."It's basically designed to increase people's knowl-edge of women's sports at Cornell." she remarked.

Moss was also active in sports at MoorestownHigh School. She won eight letters there, partici-pating on the lacrosse, field hockey and swimmingteams. "Sports were really big at Moorestown sothat most people were involved in it." Anneexplained

Anne is not the only member of the Moss family

to participate in sports at the college level. Hersister, Christine, is on the tennis team at theUniversity of Rochester, and her brother, Ted. is amember of the Bishop University soccer team."Our whole family is involved in sports," said Moss."We participate together in swimming, tennis andskiing."

Does Moss think that everyone should partici-pate in sports at Cornell? "No," she insists, "but Ithink that everyone should become involved inthings that they enjoy You meet a lot of interestingpeople by participating in activities."

'Science and Philosophy Not Divorced

Physicist PhilosophizesThe increased acceptance of

America's pragmatic approach toscience by European scientiststoday, an approach whichdivorces science from its his-torical philosophical content, is a,tragedy, according to JagdishMehra, a senior visiting scholarat the Andrew D White Centerfor the Humanities

In an interview with theChronicle. Mehra, a professor ofphysics and the history of phys-ics at the International SolvayInstitutes of the University ofBrussels, Belgium, said, "Italways happens that when sci-ence is divorced from philosophyit has no great goals, and whenphilosophy is divorced from sci-ence, as it has been for most ofthis century, it becomes sterile."

There is a mutual danger, hesaid, because those who knownothing about either science orphilosophy end up declaring a

meaning and significance for sci-entific discoveries and establish-ing goals for science

Pointing to what he called thesterility of modern traditionalphilosophy, he said the importantphilosophers of this century havebeen scientists, men such asBohr, Heisenberg, Einstein, Pauliand Dirac, and mathematicianssuch as Whitehead and RussellBut now even most scientists arereluctant to philosophize aboutthe meaning of their work, hesaid

Mehra, who was educated inEngland, the United States andSwitzerland, has been giving aseminar at the center this springon "The Physicist's Conceptionof Nature " In attendance havebeen nearly 30 graduate andundergraduate students, 16 forcredit They are from such variedfields as music, sociology, engi-neering, physics, the history ofscience and philosophy An au-thority on quantum mechanics,Mehra. said one of the "greatestdisasters" in modern education,even in good universities, is thetight departmentalization of dis-ciplines and their lack of com-munication.

"There are," he said, "not onlythe two cultures of sciences andhumanities as C P Snow fore-saw them; there are numerousdiverse sub-cultures that existeven between different special-ties I am one for removing them,for having the largest possibledialogue, intellecutal interfacebetween different fields

"I think people who work toomuch within their own ivorytower, with their strong sense oftheir own discipline and self

importance are doing great harmI think a certain amount of theirpomposity should be puncturedThey should have to explain whatthey are doing It is relevant topeople to know in which direc-tion science is going. Theyshould be compelled to presenttheir thinking in terms that canbe grasped by people in thehumanities, and vice versa.

"Science is very difficult andbecoming even more difficult;the more reason scientistsshould make an effort to com-municate; the more reason thattheir intellect and imaginationshould be challenged to presentnew discoveries in com-prehensible terms.

"Of course, people in the hu-manities also have to make aneffort to do that It happens thata scientist learns more easilyabout what is happening in thehumanities. The reverse is nottrue But I think it is vital thatpeople in other fields, people inliterature, in history, in the artsshould make an effort to under-stand whaf a new dimension ofmodern science is, because it ispart of the world in which we liveand we cannot afford to secludeourselves from a large and im-portant segement of the intellec-tual community,"

He said that in the finalanalysis the distinction betweenthe humanities and the sciencesis artificial. "For me the sciencesare very much a part of thehumanities, in the sense that thehuman imagination is central toall of them. It is the samecreative impulse in science thatis found in music, art and liter-ature, in any creative act '
