    Cohen, McMenaminReceive Scholarships

    Two scholarships covering all expenses except meals have been awarded for the Field Study In Puerto Rico and .the Virgin Islands December 24-31* 1962. One scholarship, for which a Junior Social Studies major was eligible has been awarded by the Trustees of the Fields Studies Trust Income Account to Fred J. McMenamin, Jr. Another scholarship, for which students In the Spanish Department were eligible has been awarded by the Faculty Committee on Scholarships to Judy Cohen.

    Fred is a member of Gamma Theta Epsilon, International Relations Club, Thucydlans, and Alpha Phi Omega. His home is in Atlantic City where he serves as a lifeguard during the summer.

    Judy Is a member of Spanish Club, the CitizenshipCommittee, Sigma Delta PI, and the 1964 Class Council. She is a resident of Newark.

    The Puerto Rican Field Study will have its headquarters In San

    French Club Shows Movies

    On December 5, 1962 at 3:30 p.m. In Memorial Auditorium, the French Club of Montclair State College will present “ Le Mouton a cinq Pattes,” w lthFer- nandel with English subtitles. Translated Into English It Is “ The Sheep has Five L egs.”

    All proceeds will be donated

    for study abroad. This fund, named for the former chairman of the Foreign Language Department, helps finance a year’ s study In a foreign country for several members of the Modern Language Department.

    In the past, nearly 200 students have been sent abroad; among them are numerous leaders In the field of education In New Jersey and In the United States.

    Donation Is $.75. The public Is cordially Invited.

    Juan where it will visit the University of Puerto Rico, the Governor’ s Palace, the slums, the housing projects and many other points of interest In the city and its suburbs. It will also explore a tropical rain forest, the beaches, the central mountain range, Ponce, San German, the Phosphorescent Bay, Mayaguez, and plantations of sugar, coffee, tobacco and pineapple. One day will be spent in St. Thomas In the Virgin Islands.

    A visit to Puerto Rico Is a good corrective for the mistaken stereotypes which many people in the area have about Puerto Ricans and a good basis for understanding the terrific problems they have to face In migrating from a beautiful, Spanish-cultured, tropical Island to the bleak slums of the New York metropolitan region.

    Costa Art On Exhibit

    The paintings now on exhibition in the Student Life building are a part of the collection, donated to tiie college last year by Dr. and Mrs. Cosla of New York City. The thirty-four pictures are on loan to the college. They will be shown as an exhibit entitled “ French Portraits from the Sixteen-Hundreds to the Nineteen-Hundreds’ ’ beginning November 21 and lasting through December 17.

    Mr. Vernacchla and Mr. Watkins of the Fine Arts Department spent over two hundred and fifty hours working with students from both the Fine and Industrial Arts Departments preparing the portraits for exhibition. Some of the work Involved Included reconditioning and rebuilding frames for many of the pictures, varnishing and cleaning the pictures for presentation at the exhibition.

    Kimio Eto

    On Tuesday morning, December 4, during assembly period, a noted Japanese koto musician will appear In cooperation with the. Music and Arts Fund Committee of the Japan Society.

    Kimio Eto made his Carnegie Hall debut last season and recently appeared at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Mr. Eto has set for himself a one-man m ission--to do for the koto what Segovia did for the guitar. The degree of his committment to the “ cause” is reflected in the fact that he has pioneered it successfully, and has been able to further his career, despite the fact that he has been blind since the age of five.

    Mr. Eto began composing at the age of seventeen and performs many of his own selections in concert. He Is rated by experts as the foremost living exponent of the ancient Japanese instrument.I ¿’he six foot long wooden internment rests on the floor In front of the musician; has thir-

    Elgart Orchestra PlaysFor Christmas Dance

    The Les and Larry Elgart Orchestra will be featured at the Christmas Dance to be held Friday evening, December 7, at the Westmont CountryClub, from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.

    finally In 1953 the Elgarts had what they wanted, a band with a sound, a direction, and an Idea of its own. They had collected a group of gifted musicians steeped in the jazz tradition and capable of fine ensemble playing.

    The band captured every dance band popularity poll and was producing more best-selling albums than any other group. No new orchestra In years had a- roused so much enthusiasm and Immediate response from all segments of the dancing public. Les . and Larry have made Sophisticated Swing popular all over the country. The Elgart Orchestra recehtly won the number one spot In a poll conducted by the Associated Press.

The koto is played with three ivory plectras attached like e - longated fingers to the thumb, first and second fingers at the player’ s right hand while his left hand is used to pull or depress the strings to obtain the flat and sharp notes.

    Eto was attracted to the kolo no t only for its beautiful tonal qualities but by its versatility; for on it can be performed not only the folk music and Oriental meiodies of the East, but the music of the Western world as well.

    The koto was brought to Japan from China in about the eighth century AD and for a- bout four hundred years thereafter, It was used mainly for court music.

    Mr. Eto will be assisted by members of the New York Philharmonic.

    Letters To The Editor \

    Wapalanne WorriesDue to financial difficulties, Camp Wapalanne may not

    be able to offer a spring work weekend this year. The possibility may even exist that the work weekends be discontinued altogether.

    In considering that food and lodging are provided for Friday evening, in addition to Saturday and Sunday, one can imagine the cost for heating the buildings, employing a staff, and allowing seconds and thirds on food. The expense appears double when one realizes that all this is free of charge for only one day’ s work In return, and not even a full day’ s work at that.

    Despite this bargain, however, very few students have taken advantage of the opportunity made available to them. During the last work weekend, held -two weeks ago, only a dozen students participated; others had signed up but did not show on Friday. Perhaps it is also felt that not enough interest has been shown in the past and is not

    cnmniThWH°hthWhi]e t0 the Camp ln the actual work accomplished by so few.

    For those students, however, who enjoy getting away from the fast pace of college life to a different atmosphere and who appreciate a relaxing, enjoyable weekend plus a small amount of physical labor in the fresh air, it is hoped a Wapalanne work weekend will be held this spring.

    Life For AllIt has long been the desire of many far-sighted stu

    dents to establish Life Hall as the student center for social activities. An undertaking such as this would mean Life Hall would, through continual student par-

    ~n, remain open each week night and possibly nu. .-----

    Naturally, a full H--*»- director would be necessary and perhaps mor*- staff members would be required. However, if c-iodents hold more meetings and social activities in ihis building and; spear-head a drive to keep Life Hal* °Pen at night, if would become the main student center on campus within the next year or so.

    There is no reason why this building should not be open all the time to accommodate the increasing number of students and their activities.

    To the Editor:

    I would like to express the appreciation of a number of dormitory students to the SGA Foods Committee. Since their meeting with the Saga Food Service, both the selection and the quality of food has Improved.

    However, the cafeteria clocks usually run fast and consequently students ara refused admittance to the dining area when they are actually punctual. This is especially of vital Importance to the off-campus students who must rely on radio time. It is bad enough to be regulated by a clock but can something be done to get time coordinated in the cafeteria?

    When the Cuban crisis was an alive and threatening issue, some of us perhaps looked toward New York City from our mountain. With imaginations overworked by anxiety, we could envision the city as a black and smoking crater. Suppose it did happen, and we' were stranded up here: what would we do?

    Thoughts like these motivated Bud Meyers and George Wilson to organize a Civil Defense Unit for the campus. This unit, which

    •came into being November 13 at a public meeting of almost fifty students, will be coordinated with several other campus groups.

    ‘T nere is the Cii ulty Committee, of wjich DrT" Gawley is chairman. The much- publicized six-week course on Civil Defense has graduated some campus enthusiasts.

    The government also has been involved by marking buildings that could be used as shelter. The spokesmen Tuesday night did not yet know whether there would be enough buildings for all of us. The government is also planning to give the college two weeks’ supply of food.

    Several speakers at the meeting emphasized the possibilities for panic in the event of attack. In the two-week stationary, waiting period that is required after the attack, nerves would grow quite ragged. Our wonderful view of the destruction might afford quite a stimulant. The members of the unit, through perhaps the school course and private meetings, will be trained in games and recreational activity to keep us calm.

    Other responsibilities in case of attack for the Unit include Communications, Transportation, Sanitation, Food, and Policing. Members of the Unit volunteered for the various divisions, and will receive training.

    These aims are very worthwhile. These people regard themselves as particularly clear-sighted in forming this group. They will be the leaders when the rest o f us have panicked. There was something of that old pioneer spirit Tuesday night: these people were going to act despite the apathy of the majority.

    However, certain conceptions should be examined. The fear aroused by the Cuban crisis can be channeled toward work for peace or preparations for war. Granted we are not prepared for an attack on New York. But if we were, and there was an attack, what would be our future?

    This unit is preparing to rehabilitate Montclair State after perhaps Western civilization has been wiped out. Arh they equal to the task? The energies of these good peoole might be better channeled imo work for toleration, co-exlstqnce, and brotherhood a- mong all men,

    Dear Editor:

    I attended the assembly this past Tuesday and was first, amazed at the number of students present (due either to requirements or a noted speaker) and second, very distraught to find how much disrespect students had for the speaker. Walking in and out at their leisure and coming in late displays a certain lack of tact and respect both for the speaker and the students. Credit is due to those who attended with interest but why can’ t students either decide to be prompt or not come at all, if they are to be late?

    DISTRAUGHT

    Dear Editor:I think that something ought to

    be done about some of these ridiculous education courses corrupting our minds. Psychology courses are useful, and so are history and educational philosophy; however, if any ambitious student with some free time took a survey of Montclair graduates now teaching, I’ m sure that only absolutely minimal advantages would be attributed to the time spent on Earth Science, Statistics, and Healthful Living as it is now presented.

    Mike Habeeb

    Dear Editor:

    Recently, in the November 21, 1962 edition of the Montclarion, a letter to the editor was published from the Newark Evenin News. 'This ̂ t i e r ’ s contents

    Ve olWNffarii opinloUwjB'TjAnt- clair State’ s ftome ¿ ‘• J tJ iics department and was parr^Karly aimed at one of the department’ s se..i V Home Economic courses, Home Management & Hojise Residence. As a senior Home Economics major, I would like to take this opportunity to correct a number of incorrect statements which Mr. Magee, (author of the letter referred to), wrote in his letter and also to justify my professional objectives.

    The Home Management & House Residence course takes place in a $66,000 ultra-modern house as Mr. Magee stated, but it is here that his correct statements ends and the remains of the letter was misinformation. The Lillian Gilbreth House, as it is known on campus, was named after the subject of the famed novel and movie, “ Cheaper by the Dozen” . Lillian Gilbreth and her husband have world wide notification for their time and motion studies. It was after her example that we dedicate our studies In the Home Management house.

    The house was designed especially fo r the function it serves on campus, and that is to provide senior Home Economic students up-to-date equipment to learn to manage and operate a home and family effectively. It is of original architectural design from its roof-top to its recreational room. Compare the cost of this house with any other original architectural designed building on campus and you will find that its cost in not un-usual.

    If a Home Management house was not available on campus It would be necessary for the college to rent a home each year so as the requirements for a Smith-Hughes certification to teach Home Economics in public schools can be met. Rather than spend the necessary sum of renting a suitable house each year, the college has seen it more economical to build its own on campus. Renting a home each year would far exceed the sum of $66,000 in ten to fifteen years.

    Mr. Magee also failed to look into the fact that each girl who lives within the house for a period of four to five weeks pays

    a sum of $78.00. The same a- mount all dormitory students on campus pay for room and board for the same length of time to live ln the new ultra-modern North and Stone Halls.

    The house, and the household equipment is modern, beautiful, and naturally expensive. But does not the Science, Math, Business Education, and other campus departments want and try to have up-to-date equipment, despite its great expense? Why then should not the Home Economics department have modern equipment to meet their educational needs? Should not the Home Economics major lern to use and be aware of the latest developments In e - quipment in her field? Surely, the public expects her to have this knowledge after she graduates.

    The contents of the House Residence course, despite its vague write-up in the college catalogue, covers more than “ doing the laundry” . Because of the increase in the Home Economic classes at Montclair, it has been necessary to shorten the time of each girl living in the house, so as each student may share the benefits and have a worthwhile experience. Four to five girls live in the house for a period of four to five weeks. For a period o f one week each girl takes a turn in managing the household. This Includes such duties as purchasing the food and other items necessary for the house, planning a financial budget on money al- loted for high, low, and medium salaries, paying all household monthly bills, cooking three meals a day for at least seven people, plus preparing snacks, entertaining guests, giving dem- 0nstratlons on current household equipment, planning entertaln-. .A' Tr> r -chanical duties of running a household. Correlated with these dally skills, she is also responsible for allcating the duties to the other girls living with her and helping to keep a friendly, enjoyable atmosphere within the household and among its members.

    It is self-evident then that this course is actually a four week test of a students domestic skills and a culmination of all the emotional and socialoglcal aspects of family life that each girl has been studying for four years. While living in the house, each student is required to attend and keep up with her regular classes. With these facts in mind, I agree with Mr. Magee, three credits for the Home Management & House Residence course is not worthshile. It could be, if you considered it time and subject content wise, at least a five credit course.

    Behind each senior Home Economic major before she enters

    the house, if Mr. Magee had checked further, he would have seen his so-called “ intellectual, thought-provoking” courses. To state a few, Human Anatomy, Philosophy, Bacterlogy, Cultural Anthropology, Inorganic and Organic chemistry, plus many other liberal art and education courses offered on campus.

    The main objective ln Home Economics education is to prepare our youth to build strong, efficient, running homes ln order to have a firm , united family. The American family, the basis of our national strength, unity, and power. Our present social problems as juvenile delinquency, young unhappy marriages, high divorce rates, illegitimate children, and other problems of the sort, have all been attributed in part to poor home environment and unhappy family relationships. Who then can say that Home Economics education is un-challenglng and unnecessary to our nations strength?

    HAPPY TALKAs \vc all know, conversation is terribly important on a date. When lulls in the conversation run longer than an hour or two, one’s partner is inclined to grow logy—even sullen. But occasionally one finds it difficult to keep the talk going, especially when one is having a first date with one. What, then, does one do?

    If one is wise, one follows the brilliant example of Harlow Tluirlow.

    Harlow Thurlow prepares. That is his simple secret. When Harlow is going to take out a new girl, he makes sure in advance that the conversation will not languish. Before the date, he goes to the library and reads all 24 volumes of the encyclopedia and transcribes their contents on his cuffs. Thus he makes sure that no matter what his date’s interests are, he will have ample material to keep the conversation alive.

    Take, for example, Harlow’s first date with Priscilla de Gasser, a fine, strapping, blue-eyed broth of a girl, lavishly constructed and rosy as the dawn.

    Harlow was, as always, prepared when he called for Priscilla, and, as always, he did not start to converse immediately. First he took her to dinner because, as everyone knows, it is useless to try to make conversation with an unfed coed. Her attention span is negligible. Also, her stomach rumbles so loud it is difficult to make yourself heard.

    ìsé w cuffsjndkSo he took her to a fine steak house where he stoked her with

    gobbets of Black Angus and mounds of French fries and tliick- ots->»f aamrolc ancb battalions-,-if v K i f r iwMtj.»*FIU;ll, ST. i r H '1-" dinner was over and the waiter brought two finger bowls.

    “ I hope you enjoyed your dinner, my dear,” said Harlow, dipping into his finger bowl.

    ‘ ‘Oh, it was grandy-dandy!”. said Priscilla. “ Now let’s go someplace for ribs.”

    “ Later, perhaps,” said Harlow. “ But right now, I thought we might have a conversation.”

    “ Oh, goody, goody, two-shoes!” cried Priscilla. “ I been looking everywhere for a boy who can carry on a intelligent conversation.”

    “Yoi r search is ended, madam,” said Harlow, and pulled back Ids sleeves and looked at his cuffs to pick a likely topic to start the conversation.

    Oh, woe! Oh, lackadav! Those cuffs on which Harlow had painstakingly transcribed so many facts—those cuffs on which he had noted such diverse and fascinating information—those cuffs, J say, were nothing now but a big, blue blur! For Harlow — poor Harlow!—splashing around in the finger bowl, had gotten his cuffs wet and the ink had run and not one word was legible! And Harlow—poor Harlow!— looked upon his cuffs and broke out in a night sweat and fell dumb.

    “ I must say,” said Priscilla after several silent hours, “ that you are a very dull fellow. I ’m leaving,”

    With that she flounced away and poor Harlow was too crushed to protest. Sadly he sat and sadly lit a cigarette.

    All of a sudden Priscilla came rushing back. “ Was that,” she asked, “a Marlboro you just lit?”

    “ Yes,” said Harlow.“Then you are not a dull fellow,” she cried, and sprang into

    his lap. “ You are bright! Anybody is bright to smoke such a perfect joy of a cigarette as Marlboro which is just chock full of yummy flavor, which has a Selectrate filter which comes in a soft pack that is really soft, and a Flip-Top Box that really flips, and which can be bought wherever cigarettes are sold in all fifty states and Duluth . . . Harlow, tiger, wash your cuffs and be my love.”

    “ Okay,” said Harlow, and did, and was. © 1062 M„xshuim»n

    The makers of Marlboro cigarettes, who print this column at hideous expense throughout the school year, are very happy for Harlow— and for all the rest of you who have discovered the pleasures of Marlboro.

    Engle Reads Poetry In Assembly ProgramFollowing an Introduction by

    Mr. Janes Pettegrove oftheEng- lish department. Paul Engle, noted poet, critic, and novelist from Iowa State, began his lecture by describing one of his humorous experiences as a speaker at a women’ s convention.

    M r. Engle then proceeded to deny the popular conception of poetry as a “ spontaneous outcry” . He stated, rather, that literature is the result of the past experiences of the author and that it is “ vision and ect- static utterance. According to Engle the “ total person” must enter into a great poem. Something, commonly termed inspiration, nudges the poet’ s mind, and the poem is an integration of his pas t experiences and new ideas. The poet writes in an intensified natural language pattern to convey to the reader the impact of his experience. If only the heart is employed, an emotional outpouring results which produces an inferior work of art. The heart must be tempered and controlled by the mind.

    To illustrate accurate and characterized expression, and to explain intensity in writing, Engle

    Spirit is an abstract word. It has many meanings both in and out of context. In sub-division number 12 of the definitions offered in Webster’ s New International Dictionary, the word is described "as meaning E n th u siastic loyalty; as school, class or college spirit.”

    Being one who does not believe in black or white, elther-or reasoning, I hesitate to join those on campus who ceaselessly

    criticize the “ complete lack of school spirit on this campus.”

    I do not believe that the lack of school spirit is complete or that the low level of observable spirit such as the absence of fans at athletic events is a permanent one.
