Attention!
Graduating
Students
This year SGA has made
arrangements with the cam
pus bookstore for baccalau
reate degree graduating
students to purchase their
academic regalia.
The regalia consists of a
cap, gown and tassle. The
gown is made of a light
acrylic material. The cost is
$B.OO.
MasteP degree students
graduating in June can rent
their academic regalia. The
rental charge is $12.75 and
includes a cap, gown, tassel
and hood.
June graduating students
can order their academic
regalia through the campus
bookstore. The bookstore
has extended the deadline
for ordering the regalia until
Tuesday, May 4,1976. After
that date, there will be a late
fee charge of $lO.OO.
If an order must be
canceled, the bookstaore
will refund the purchase
price if the apparel has not
been picked up from the
bookstore. The iate order
fee, however, is NOT
REFUNDABLE.
Invitations and an
nouncements are also avail
able at the bookstore. Place
your orders as soon as
possible.
Malaysian Dean
Parid Wardi bin Sudin,
dean of the faculty of Buili
Environment, Universiti
Teknoloji Malaysia is
visiting here until tomorrow.
Parid is here to obtain
information on our Urban
and Regional Planning,
Public Administration and
Civil Engineering Technol
ogy programs.
During his stay, he will
meet with faculty and
administration, examine our
XGI Reporter
Its been quite a while since the last Reader issue, and
there s been a lot happening. Here are the results of the frat’s
elections last term:
President: Myron Lebo Secretary: Keith Millison
Vice-President: Sally Wallace Treasurer: George Winterstein
Appointments made by the new administration were Sports
Chairperson- Ricardo Mosley, Social Chairperson- Vince
Johnson and Master-at-arms- Joe Horochak.
Some spring term activities include another keggar,
according to Vince Johnson. The date is not yet set.
The spring blood drive will be Thursday, April 29. The
sign-up sheet will be in the frat lounge.
The bathtub race will be May 5. Once again the XGIs will
be represented with their beautiful red tub. Dan MArtin is in
charge of the frat’s entry in the race and yours truly will be
helping to push the frat tub.
.. Jtl? Phillies baseball trip will be May 21. I would guess
that there will be beer and hoagies again this year for the
trip. June 5 is the date for the picnic at Braun’s farm.
Vince Johnson still needs help from the frat for the
spring concert. If you want to help, let Vince know
Keith Millison will soon be taking over the XGI Reporter
article as a part of his secretarial duties. The secretary is the
logical person for this job since the secretary is constantly in
contact with what’s going on in the frat.
Well that’s about it for this time. Hope to see some
participation in these upcoming events.
New Generation Is Silent
From pag* 2
their insistence that college
curricula reflect the needs of
the job market, they are
just telling us that the world
is leaving them fewer and
fewer choices
While the 1950 s genera
tion saw politics as some
thing they could take or
leave, todays young seem
deliberately to be shunning
it. Close to 50% of those
under 30 do not affiliate with
either political party. This is
not the politics of apathy
and conformity but rather of
disgust and retreat.
Visits Campus
laboratories and facilities,
and observe some classes in
action.
Parid’s visit is part of an
on-going cooperative devel
opment assistance effort
between Capitol and the
Universiti Teknoloji Ma
laysia.
Universiti Teknoloji has
been designated as the
national university and tech
nology for the country of
Malaysia.
By Jom Jenson
Some may greet this
phenomena with a sigh of
relief. The politicized stu
dent of the 1960 s upset
some adults more than the
Vietnam War itself/ This
retreat to the 1950 s and
beyond, no matter what its
justification, has left ar
enormous gap in Americar
Life.
Students should hold a
society up tolts ideals rather
;han mirror its deepest
cynicism. Idealism may be
the luxury of youth; But their
luxury may be our necessity.
One wonders where the
Vietnam War would have led
without the student peace
movement? How successful
would the civil rights
movement have been with
out the enthusiastic support
of students, both white and
black?
Yet we adults cannot
always expect the young to
save us from ourselves. The
student movement may have
died by its own hand, as its
politics became more violent
and bizzare.
But one wonders why
there are so few adults of
stature ready to provide
them with effective moral,
intellectual or political lead
ership. Most adults either
catered to their whims or
were implacably hostile.
Those who are awaiting a
rejuvenation of our political
life have no moral claims on
the young. This time we will
have to find our own way out
of the desert.
