Editorial Opinion
Back to Ithaca
It took approximately 11 months and nine days, but
the University Senate finally came through.
It began on Feb. 27, 1958, when All-University Cabinet
submitted a recommendation to exempt veterans from
required physical education —and the student body step
ped on to the Senate-Go-Round.
The students were being whirled around for seven
months without even knowing it. And then one day in
September, somebody began to wonder just what hap
pened to the recommendation. All-University President
Jay Feldstein dispatched John D’Angelo, his administra
tive assistant, to find out.
D’Angelo got the ride of his life, touring the offices
of Senate committee chairmen. Finally he came to the
inescapable conclusion that the brilliant senators had lost
the thing.
Well, rather, perhaps, misplaced it. For a few days
later, one of the chairmen found it lying on his desk. And
so, it started off again.
The proposal was submitted to the Committee on
Academic Standards (again), which reported negatively.
Feldstein spoke to the Senate and the plan was re-referred
to the Committee on Educational Policy, which seems to
have ended the Odyssey with a negative report.
Cabinet Applauds
All-University Cabinet broke into its first round of
applause in a year Thursday night.
The applause followed a report given by Carmella
LaSpada, general chairman for Larry Sharp Week. Miss
LaSpada presented her committee’s plans in a way that
made Cabinet members wonder just how such preciseness
was possible at this early date,
Mary Ann Gemmill, chairman of the Board of Dram
atics and Forensics, spoke for Cabinet members in con
gratulating Miss LaSpada for the remarkable job she and
her committee have done in coordinating the week’s
events.
The committee has spent countless hours going over
plans so that the general campaign would be an overall
success.
But the efforts of Miss LaSpada and her committee
are just a beginning toward making Larry Sharp Week
realize its $7OOO goal.
Only the cooperation of students, townspeople and
faculty can bring to the entire week the complete success
it deserves.
Ambulance Segregation
A national news magazine recently printed a picture
of a Negro African boy lying injured in the street while
a white policeman took measurements of truck skid marks.
The caption said the country’s segregation laws prevented
the white ambulance drivers from taking the boy to a
hospital, so he had to lie helpless for 45 minutes until a
press photographer drove him to the hospital.
As ridiculous and inhuman as such a policy appears,
it exists in the Union of South Africa.
And until this week, a somewhat similar situation
existed on the University campus.
A. E. Diem, vice president for business administration,
announced a new policy for the University ambulance,
replacing the “feeling or general belief that the ambulance
was to be used only when a STUDENT needed emergency
care."
Now visitors and members of the faculty and staff
have been welcomed back into the human race on campus
and will be entitled to University ambulance service.

Rushees Enjoy
Fraternities'
'Glad Hand'
“Gee,” "gosh,” “wow” and a
host of other superlatives could
probably be used to describe the
feelings of second semester fresh
men, still a little awed by it all,
after a week of rushing.
Doubtless, they are finding the
food quite good. As one house
president put it to the brothers,
"the first eight weeks we eat
good—after that, peanut butter.”
The “glad hand” extended the
rushees is apparently vefy effec
tive. “I never felt so happy in all
my life,” said one astonished
frosh.
Tonight, as last night, rushees
will be able to take their dates
someplace other than the HUB or
the Comer Room.
Betore they enter the darkened
fraternity houses, where the wel
come mat and “glad hand will
again be in overabundance, fresh
men will be able to take dates
either to the Penn State-Syracuse
basketball game (8 p.m. Recrea
tion Building) or to one of three
movies.

are 1) maintenance of the offices
of the dean of admissions and
registrar, dean of the graduate
school, dean of men, dean of wo
men, division of counseling, chap
lain and placement service, and
2) miscellaneous outlays for per
sonnel administration, legal coun
cil, public information and insur
ance.
Other expedilures for the
year were: libraries, $584,634 or
1.4 per cent; operation and
maintenance of the physical
plant, $3,625,301 or 8.6 per cent;
auxiliary enterprises, $7,558,805
or 18 per cent; and student aid
$642,294 or 1.5 per cent.
The sub-total of the operating
money for the year plus $715,507
in appropriations and transfers
gave a total of $42,813,509 that
was spent by the University in
that year.

For Certainty
TO THE EDITOR: In response
to Dr. Howard A. Cutler's ar
ticle of Feb. 5 issue of The
Daily Collegian:
What is wrong with cer
tainty? Certainty gives hope.
Certainty releases the heart of
man from fear, despair and
darkness.
One thing is certain. We need
to reckon with the heart of
man. Witness the ideas spring
ing from our so-called "Beat
Generation”. This is a gener
ation that seeks a foothold on
life, but finds only the quick
sand of changing ideals. What
can be lonlier than the state
ment made by a spokesman of
the Beat Generation, Jack
Kerouac? When asked what he
wanted most from life, Kerouac
replied, “Show me the face of
God.”
HUB assembly
Maybe all of us don’t fall in
to the category of those who
are “Beat,” but doesn’t Kerou
ac’s statement reflect some
thing deep-seated within all of
us, that is, a need for compan
ionship, hope, truth and all that
encompasses the certainties of
life?
If uncertainty promotes “cre
ativity,” as Dr. Cutler has im
plied in his statement “cer
tainty abolishes the need for
creativity,” how much more
fertile would be the endeavors
of man if his course had bear
ings? Witness the air and sea
tragedies tljat have occurred
recently. They were the result
of minor fluctuations in the
certainty of their bearings. If
the physical properties of this
earth need direction, does not
also the spirit of man need
rest on safer ground than un
certainty:
If man needs “internal con-
"Are the boys taking us to see this picture in a

sistancy,” let him find it in
the One who never varies,
namely, Christ Jesus.
Are we to go on searching
and never find? Are we to
travel and never arrive? I ask
you.

Toasts for Book
TO THE EDITOR: For the past
several years I have been col
lecting “toasts,” in English and
many other languages, with the
intention of publishing a com
prehensive book of the collec
tion. While the selection is
fairly good, I feel I don’t have
enough which reflect our con
temporary mores.
I would like to ask the read
ers of the Collegian if they
have any toasts of any descrip
tion which they would like to
share. For any such toasts
which are included in this col
lection, I will be pleased to
send a complimentary copy of
the book when published.
Please send yours to me at
3969 Branson Drive, San Mateo,
Calif.
