Variety show tonight Of Student Newspapers Is Illegal BOSTON (CPS) - A Massachusetts U.S. District Court judge Monday handed down a ruling against pre-publication censorship of student newspapers at state-supported colleges. In the case of the Fitchburg State College Cycle, Judge Arthur Garity Jr. ruled that “prior submission to an advisory board of material intended to be published in the Cycle, in order that the board may decide whether it complies with responsible freedom of the press or is obscene, may not be constitutionally required either by means of withholding funds derived from student activity fees or otherwise.” Harold Dulong, the attorney representing the Cycle, termed the case a landmark case and said the decision, which applies to student newspapers at p u b 1 ic-f unded colleges throughout the country, is significant “in terms of freedom of the student press.” Editors of Cycle took their case to court last fall after Fitchburg State College President James Hammond revoked newspaper funds because they printed Eldridge Staff Plans Spring Issue of Heights Do you have a creative fling? Have the Muses been at your doorstep lately? If you wish to write a happy or a sad song, the HEIGHTS staff would appreciate your contribution. The HEIGHTS is Rosary Hill College’s literary magazine which is published bi-annually. The magazine is composed of poetry, short stories, short plays, essays, quotations and art work. In recent years, the HEIGHTS has been predominately a poetry magazine because few other genres have been submitted. There are approximately ten members of the HEIGHTS staff. This year’s editor is Mary Boule; the co-editor, Angela Raymond; and the advisor, Sister Georgia. The staff follows a strict procedure in selecting the material for their issues. When a work is submitted, the author’s name is erased and is recorded on a separate sheet of paper. Then, the work is given a number so that each staff member is completely objective while he grades the work from one (excellent) to five (not printable). The budget allotted for the HEIGHTS only permits the staff to print a magazine with a limited number of pages. Therefore, the staff chooses the work of the highest quality.

Cleaver’s article “ Black Moochie.” After the Cleaver article appeared, Hammond set up a two-member advisory board made up of two -administrators — to review and approve Cycle material, before material appeared in print. In this case, Dulong said he showed, in effect, that the state was acting as a censor. The freedom of the press provision of the first amendment prohibits the state from acting as a censor. The decision was based largely on the “censorial” supervisory powers of the advisory board. In an 18-page opinion, the court said there is no exception. “The (Fitchburg) policy conferred could presumably be used to get complete control of the content of the newspaper.”. According to the court document, 1 ‘so far as the evidence shows, th&_ two members of the advisory board are wholly unfamiliar with the complex tests of obscenity established by the supreme court.” “Under the circumstance we need not decide whether adequate procedural safeguards could ever be formulated supporting prior restraint of a weekly newspaper. It is extremely doubtful. Newspaper censorship in any form seems essentially incompatible with freedom of the press.” - After considering the nature of the advisory board, the court concluded that President Hammond’s establishment of the advisory board ‘‘is an unconstitutional exercise of state power.” Garity wrote, “The state is not necessarily the unrestrained master of what it creates and fosters. Having fostered a campus newspaper, the state may not impose arbitrary restrictions on the matter to be communicated. Because of the potentially great social value of a free student voice in an age of student awareness, it would be inconsistent with basic assumptions of first amendment freedoms to permit a campus newspaper to be simply a vehicle for ideas the state or the college administration d e e m s appropriate. Power to prescribe classroom curriculum at state universities may not be transferred to areas not designed to be part of the curriculum.” -The state has not indicated whether it will appeal the case. I What’s Senate Doing About It? by Karen Company What’s Senate doing? This is often a question asked by concerned yet uninformed members of our student body. It can easily be answered as of the February 17 meeting, at which two topics of great interest to the entire campus were discussed; the raise in tuition and comprehensive examinations. As far as the first is concerned, we must face the fact that it is here and is going to stay no matter how vocal the complaints become. However, senate believes that the lateness of the announced tuition raise is reason enough to take some form of action to try to remedy the financial crises that it has brought upon so many members of the student body, especially next year’s seniors for whom transferring to another college would be out of the question at this point. It is solely with this purpose and the hope that recommendations can be made to prevent a similar crisis, to happen in the future that a senate committee has been established and has begun research and various proceedings. But in order for this committee to accomplish anything, many apathetic students will have to take a stand either for or against this committee’s actions. Also at this meeting it was reported by Mary Scime and Mary Fran Bauer that their long researched study of comprehensive examinations is complete4 and that after the answers to a fpw very vital questions have been obtained, a bill asking for the comprehensive exam in its present form to be abolished will be ready for submission to the Curriculum Committee. About all we can do here now is to hope for this project’s success.

The fee for each seminar is $10.00. Written resumes of dreams or dream series are helpful but not required. Psychologists have discovered the importance of analyzing and understanding dreams in order to understand oneself. It has been found that dreams are a constant living source of symbols which can become guides for increased self-awareness and illumination. Dr. Puryear will discuss the purpose and values of dreams in his lecture and will assist participants of the seminars to understand their own dreams. The lecture is recommended as a preparation for the seminars. Dr. Puryear, a clinical psychologist, is presently the Director of Education for the Edgar Cayce Foundation (A.R.E.) in Virginia Beach, Va. He received his B.A. degree from Stanford University, and he received his M.A., Ph.D., and clinical internship at the University of North Carolina. Dreams and dreaming were the subjects of his graduate theses. He also received a post-doctoral research fellowship from the National Institute of Mental Health to conduct laboratory research on the psychophysi- ology of sleep and dreaming. Dr. Puryear has undertaken special studies in the area of personality theory, psychotherapy, the psychology of religion, and psychial research.

The program will feature the popular SUITE FLAMENCA, a suite for guitar and orchestra, composed by Montoya and premiered in 1966 by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. All the selections that Mr. Montoya will play are his own compositions and all derive from traditional Flamenco themes, such as: FARRUCA, a popular Flamenco dance rhythm, ALLEGRIAS and TARANTAS, based upon very old gypsy melodies, and LA ROSA, a forerunner of the modern dance rhythm. He takes these themes, improvises on them and creates entirely new, self-contained musical entities. A Spanish gypsy, born in Madrid, Mr. Montoya took his first guitar lessons from his mother and then studied with “Pepe el Barbero,” a barber in Madrid who also taught the guitar. His real training, however, came in the school of experiences, achieving national fame by the age of fourteen. Mr. Montoya has given solo recitals both in Europe and throughout the United States and Canada. He is also the most recorded Flamenco artist in history, and has become the living symbol of Flamenco music the world over. Says the New York Herald Tribune: “A master performer, a unique, exciting star.” The program will open with Italian Music, including the Rossini OVERTURE TO LA GAZZA LADRA, Mascagni’s PRELUDE SICILIANA AND INTERMEZZO FROM CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA and a group of Neopolitan songs to be performed by guest soloist, the Italian-born tenor, Antonio Miranda.

About that Tuition Increase ...By S. Mary McCarrick

Sister Mary Angela Canavan, O.S.F.President of Rosary Hill

College since 1953, Sister M. Angela Canavan, O.S.F., is largely responsible for its growth. Under her direction Rosary Hill College received accreditation from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Marian Library, Duns Scotus, and Wick Campus Center have been built during S is te r’s tenure, and twenty-three apartment houses have been conver ted into student residences. At Sister Angela’s suggestion the Board of Trustees was opened to laymen and the f irst lay president (Charles J. Wick) was elected.

A native of Niagara Falls, New York, Sister Angela received a B.A. , from Ohio Dominican College, an M.A. from St. BonaventUre’s University, and an honorary L.L.D. from St. John’s University Sister has also studied at Catholic University, Syracuse University, Michigan State University, and St. Louis University.

REVIEWUncle

by Michele Sim Editor-in-Chief

A must for all theater-goers is th e excellent production of A n t o n Chekho v’s UNCLE VANYA, presently playing at the Studio Arena Theatre. An excel lent cast and effective sound and lighting help give this somewhat troublesonje drama its needed effect.

Michael 'Higgins, who .was the bro’thbr' of Kirk Dbuglas- in^Elia Kazan’s THE ARRANGEMENT, plays Uncle Vanya, a 47-year-old bachelor who is obsessed with depression. Patrick Horgan, who was seen earlier this season as the lawyer in Edward Albee’s TINY ALICE, portrays the Doctor, who is a forester in his spare time and survives on the theory that Mari is a destroyer. Alfred Hinckley is Alexander Serebryakov, a retired professor who is “obsessed with gout and b o o k s . ” Elizabeth Hubbard p l a y s h i s wife Elena, a 27-year-old beauty who married the old man for his fame and now is bored with him. And Lee McCain is very effective as

and was principal of a co-ed high school in Columbus, Ohio, prior to her election as President. As evidence of her interest in education beyond the campus, S i s t e r has served in the A ssociation of Colleges and Universities of New York State and the Conference of Catholic Colleges and Universities of the State of New York.

Involved in the Buffalo community, Sister serves as a Trus tee of the Educational Television Association and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra Society. She is also a member of th e Buffalo and Amhejrst Chambers of Commerce, the A m e r i c a n Associat ion of University Women, and the Buffalo Academy of the Fine Arts. Sister Angela has been cited for her work in education and in the community, receiving the National Award for' the B u f f a lo -N iagara F ro n t i er Business Federation, and the Susan B. Anthony Award from the Interclub Council of Western New York.

A member of the Sisters of Saint Francis of Penance and Christian Charity, Sister Angela attended the general chapter of the Congregation in 1966 and

VanyaSonya, daughter of the professor by his first wife, who was Vanya’s sister. Sonya is in love with the Doctor, but both the Doctor and Vanya are in love with Elena, who is also attracted to the Doctor. And all of them are unhappy.

T h e t h e m e is one of Chekhov’s favorites — namely, th e i n f l u e n c e o f m a n ’s environment, upon his fate. The setting js the Professor's estate, which had originally belonged to his first wife. Vanya and Sonya had been taking care of the estate, working themselves to death to stay out of debt. Then the Professor and his wife decide to move in, intensifying the e n t i r e s i t u a t i o n . T h e u n h a p p i n e s s of all these characters is not the result of some external factor, but rather the result of their reactions to thei r environment; it is a condition of withdrawal from all th a t is hopeful. Of all the characters in the play, Vanya is most representative of a man who, as he is overcome by his environment, has less and less will to resist.

Tanning your hide may bring on skin cancer!Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in America. According to the American Cancer Society, there are some 105,000 cases a year. The more exposure to the sun, the more your chances of getting it. The incidence is 111 per 100,000 population in Dallas; 22 per 100,000 in Chicago. Fortunately, skin cancer is also the most curable of cancers. Ninety out of 100 cases are cured. But it could be nearly 100 per cent cured or prevented, if everyone took proper safeguards against it; or went to the doctor as soon as symptoms appeared.

Beauty against cancer A famous cancer expert once said that he rarely saw skin cancer on beautiful women. The reason: many beautiful wo­men give special care to their skin, and protect it against overexposure to sun­light. They also have blemishes removed as soon as they find them. Skin care, says the American Cancer Society, helps you protect yourself from skin cancer-the most common and most easily cured bf cancers.Most common, easily cured cancer Skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in America, is the least danger­ous and is slow growing/ It may be easily cured in a doctor’s office, says the American Cancer Society. So don’t delay if you find any change in size or color of a wart or mole, or a dry, scaly patch of skin, or any lump, bump or pimple that doesn’t clear up in two weeks. See your doctor!

When the class of ’70 entered Rosary Hill College, tuition was $1050 per year, students took 18 credit hours per semester, and 130 hours were needed for graduation. When the class of ’74 enters, tuition will be $1850 per year, students will take 15 credit hours per semester, and 120 hours will be needed for graduation. Clearly, the trend at this institution seems to be to increase the tuition and decrease th e am oun t of educat ion students receive for their money.

N a t u r a l l y , all s tudent s understand that inflation and refusal of state aid are largely responsible for the tuition increase, but at the same time they understand that National Defense Loans are being cut and in terest on s tate loans is

increasing to 10%. It is becoming increasingly harder for them to attend a private college.

Any student who’s ever been to a Dean’s meeting has been assured that Rosary Hill College does not s tand IN LOCO PARENTIS. This institution is t ry ing to make individual, responsible, young women. Doesn’t it seem ironic, then, that the students were informed of the tuition increase VIA a letter sent to their parents and a notice placed on the bulletin board? Since one of the. “ fringe benefits” given as reason for the tu i t i o n increase was student publication, it would seem that the college would benefit to use these publications- to make s tuden t inform ation known directly to the students.
