The President last September had requested University Council, as well as other groups. to review interim procedures that had been adopted last August to enable University compliance with the provisions of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Richard F. Reynolds. assistant Professor of mathematics at the McKeesport Campus, headed the Council subcommittee that developed the revised draft which will be for warded as a recommendation to the President. Council members also heard a report from Leslie P. Greenhill, director of the Division of Instructional Services, and Dr. David W. Stickell, supervisor of examinations services within the Division, on the Graduating Student Instructional Evaluation they now are analyzing. Information was collected as Spring Term registration from graduating seniors who were asked to designate the two courses within their major and Genesis fares well in Pittsburgh By Tom Moran Genesis means a beginning, and that's what their new tour is turning out to be. On April 13, at Pittsburgh's Syria Mosque, the newest fact of Genesis emerged like a butterfly from its cocoon. The avant-garde English band gained its new freedom through the loss of lead singer Peter Gabriel. Gabriel was the front man, attracting attention with an array of bizarre costumes and effects. The rest of the band always remained in his shadows. His absence brings drummer Phil] Collins out into the light to take over the vocal chores. Almost a vocal double of Gabriel, Collins more than fills the former singer-actor's shoes. Without the old theatrical frills, Genesis opened with "Dancing on a Volcano" from their latest album Trick of the Tail. While Collins was up front, former Yes and King Crimson drummer Bill Bruford was recruited for the percussion work. At some points, both drummers did the most spectacular drum duets I have ever seen or heard. Next was "Lamb Casserole," a medley from their last album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway." During the show, strange slides and movies made a complimentary backdrop to their music. Surprisingly, the show relied heavily on old material. From Trespass came "White Moun tain." Off of Selling England, by By Ron Wayne Entertainment Editor Exciting adventure and romance Lubitsch and entitled To Be or Not To Be, will be shown on Tuesday, May 4. It stars Jack Benny and Carole Lombard. Both actors were truly excellent comic actors in their time. A classic American film of all time, On The Waterfront, will be shown Wednesday, May 5. Released in 1954, the picture was praised as a major work of cinematic art. The picture was directed by Elia Kazan and stars such illustrious actors as Marlon Brando, Rod Steiger, and Karl Malden. Bringing the subject of alienation to the public's eye, the film deals with the lives of those who work and control the shipyards in New Jersey. The direction, acting and technical aspects of the picture all add to make a great film. Pauline Kael called Brando's performance "the finest we have had in American films-since Vivien Leigh's Blanche Dußois. Marlon Brando has that ability shared by most great actors: he can convey the multiple and paradoxical meanings in a character." outside of their major which contributed the most and also which contributed the least to their programs of study. It is the fourth year that the evaluation, instituted at the request of University Council, has been conducted. The information from the past three studies has been sent to department heads for such use as they may desire to make of it. The Sea l By Pamela Gilmore Collegian Staff Writer During the generation following the Compromise of 1877, Blacks throughout the country found themselves increasingly the victims of discrimination proscription and mob violence. Particularly true in the South, this was where the withdrawal of federal military support from the last of the "radical" governments and the acceptance of white and Democratic hegemone in the South by the officials at Washington, left Southern Blacks without an effective defense. This resulted in the unimpeded development of a race system The Pound they did "The Cinema Show," "First of Fifth," and "I Know What I Like." The best number of the evening was "Supper's Ready," a musical and visual tribute to Christ, off of "Foxtrot." Pictures of Jesus were shown along with green lasar beams, which spun and pierced through clouds of billowing smoke. The delicate "Entangled" and driving "Squank" were played along with "Robbery, Assault, and Battery," all of which came from their latest album. The final number was "Los Endos." For a standing ovation, Genesis did "It" from the lamb album, laced with themes _.from their classic "Watcher of the Skies." This put an end the best concert I have ever seen. For the fist time, the entire band, Steve Hachett, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks, along with Collins and Bruford, took a cheerful and full part in the show. Hackett, Rutherford and Collins humorously ad-libbed between songs. This amazing band made the best of Gabriel's departure, and are now having a second "genesis." This issue was assembled in part at the Balmer estate, the staff's asylum from Behrendia. Behrend Collegian The film festival will conclude with King Rat on Thursday, and I Never Sang for My Father on Friday. Awhile back, I received a letter from Ms. Maryanne Koschier, which was published in the last issue. Ms. Koschier expressed her opinion on my commentary on the recent Academy Awards contest. I appreciate the com pliment on my endeavor. I would, however, like to answer her question on why I neglected to mention the Best actress and supporting actress awards. I felt that Louise Fletcher, who won the major actress award for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, more than deserved the honor. I feel the same way about Lee Grant who won the supporting award for Shampoo. However, in both categories, the contests were not exactly tight due to a lack of major female roles in films in -the past year. This is rather interesting in light of the progress Women's Liberation has made in recent years. Films have become e-f-emely male oriented, such as the recent box office smashes like The Sting, All the President's Men. at.l Butch Cassidy and the Sundan'e Kid testify. In the past few years there has beerl only one female on the lists of the Top Ten Box office attractions: Barbra Streisand. The females vying in this year's awards did not have very good roles, like those of, let's say, Ellen Bursytn's Alice in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. Apparently, film makers will have to begin creating more demanding as well as con temporary female roles. that supplanted the old institution of slavery as a mechanism of social control. It is important at this time to emphasize the fact that little by little, the patterns of disfran chisement, segregation and racial subordination was brought to a halt during the early part of the 20th century. This racial system however, evolved over a long period of years. On the one hand, its roots went back to the anti-bellum period. De facto segregation existed during the height of Reconstruction and mob violence was an essential element in the strategy of those who overthrew the radical state governments on the 1870's. On the other hand, as late as the 1880's "distinguished" southerners accepted Black voting as an accomplished fact. Southern Blacks might have continued their battle for con stitutional rights if it hadn't been for the Supreme Courts clearly evident stand on permitting• only a very narrow definition of rights for Blacks. For example, in 1883, the Court voided the Civil Rights Acts of 1875 on the grounds that discrimination by individual citizens was not prohibited by the 14th Amendment. It also sanc tioned segregation laws on the Boogie JRC is sponsoring "The Spring Thing", a semi-formal dance on Saturday evening, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Holiday Inn down town at 18th and State streets.

SGA cont. classes in basic math, basic reading and composition. This is due to the decline in student aptitude scores over the past few years. A task force is now exploring the positive and negative factors pertaining to a positive grading system. •If the force finds that implementing this helps curb grade inflation there is a good chance it will be adopted. The last item on the agenda was the Spring Bash, which was being organized by Lenny Young. Young made the suggestion that instead of the SGA providing the beer and renting out a place to have the party, they should get two or three bands and have a big outdoor party on campus. Young had already contacted two or three bands and he felt this would be a much better and less ex pensive idea. Woods appointed a committee to look into both possibilities and on the committee are Lenny Young, Ed Mulkern, Tom Ken nedy, and George Speigel. Woods then asked if there was any open business and at 9:05 the meeting was adjourned.

Each scene is played by 2 citizens, one male and one female, and in each succeeding scene, a member of the previous couple joins a new partner. Thus, the play is an ever changing "pas de deux." The characters are bent on pleasure, on squeezing from life its last drop of sensual pleasure for fear that the angel of death, hovering over them, may soon descend to destroy them. Director Arno Selco notes the difficulties of this unusual play, says "I know of no other play with this structure....this is the har dest play I ever directed...we worked past midnight every rehearsal right. Arthur Schnitzler, (1862 - 1931) the playwright, was a physician who wrote medical reviews in addition to novels, poems and more than 40 plays. Of his fellow Viennese citizens, he wrote with a melancholy awareness of the emptiness in their lives. La Ronde is being presented tonight, tomorrow, Saturday, and May 5,6, 7 and 8 at 8 pm. in the studio theatre.
