Self-Determinism Requires New Attitude to Succeed By Mary Kathryn Harrity

. Emmanuel's Inter-Dormitory Council recently assembled to d iscuss the relevance of the student-determinism theory to the regulation of resident life at EC with special focus on the alte ration or retention of the present curfew system.

In capsule, student-determin­ism results from the newly as­~rted theory that college stu­d.ents, living away from direct parental supervision, should have the responsibility of or­dering their own lives.

According to this theory, students would learn to make mature decisions through the necessity of forming con­sidered judgments and the process of trial and error that this entails.

Sister Eleanor Dunfey, Dean of Students, Sister Ann Rachel, Dean of Residence, resident staff members and IDC officers highlighted the curfew ques­tion because it represents a concrete example of the ap­plication of student-determin­ism . It would imply that resi­dent students would decide what curfews, if any, they de­sired.

RAMIFICATIONS PROVOKE DEBATE

from technical problems, was placed on the education of .the students themselves to the se­riousness and extent of the student-determinism pol icy. Again and again, the IDC members stressed the impor­tance of making the students aware that the rights and priv­ileges that spring from the ado'ption of this policy would be linked with corresponding duties and responsibilities .

Sister E I e a nor Dunfey pointed out the ease of talking about mature decisions," but also the difficulty of learning to " choose the right thing in aU living conditions." She sug­gested individual Boor meet­ings in the dorms as part of the educative process. Conse­quently, the dorm officers' re­sponsibilities would broaden .

Resulting from this delibera­tion over the educative process was concern with the time element. There was some di­vergence on this point among the IDC officers, who favor an early surveying and voting on the curfew issue, and the resi­dent staff, who preferred a longer waiting period while students extensively examine the policy of student-determin­ism in general.

This open meeting followed a series of closed meetings at which groundwork for the

Sister Ann Bartholomew has announced that she hopes to break ground for Emmanuel's auditorium and aoademic facilities building during the Golden Jubilee year. The launching of this project depends upon the assistance of government funds available under the bigher edu­cation facilities bill, Title I, the construction of academic facilities. Appropriations for this bill are presently under consideration by Congress.

This view of the ten-story building, designed by the firm of McGinnis & Walsh & Ken.nedy. faces in.to the Emmanuel campus. Extra care is being taken so that neither the proposed facili­ties building on this campus nor the science building Simmons p'ans to construct opposite Alumnae Hall will affect the attractiveness of Avenue Louis Pasteur.

The art department will sponsor a graphics sale on Monday, O~tober 21 in the art department. The Ferdi­nand Roten Galleries from Baltimore will supply the prints for exhibit and sale.

TOPIC FOR PARENTS' WEEKEND

Considering means of edu­~ating parents to this policy resulted in plans to have Ed­ward Schwartz, outgoing presi­dent of the National Student Association, speak on the is­sue of students' rights and freedoms at Parents' Weekend in October. Small , discussions for the parents concerning this topic will follaw the talk. Stu­dents will also be urged to dis­cuss individually the question of student-determinism with their parents .

The financial aspect of the curfew question pertains to the hiring or re-scheduling of house fathers and/ or Pinker­ton guards to insure protection of late-returning students. Sis­ter Ann Rachel commented that furt her consideration was needed before any definite ar­rangements c 0 u 1 d be an­nounced.

The major emphasis, aside

Howeve r , in compar ison with other colleges Emmanuel is so­cially conservative. In a sur­vey of the schools present, 21 out of 60 answered " yes" to h a v in g student-determinism operative on their campuses.

Too Much .to Ask? This was going to be a scathing indictment concerning the poor turn-out for the

Red Cross bloodmobile. But then I thought to myself, what's the use? The next time you have the opportunity to give blood you will stay away for the same stupid rea­sons--you "can't stand the sight of blood" or you're "afraid of needles." You're afraid of a lot more than needles.

Granted, there is a cer4Lin per cent of the student body which could not, for health reasons, donate a pint of blood. The Red Cross is quick to tell you if yO'U don't qualify. But what about the great majority who fall into the "qualified" category? In fact, you'll probably never be healthier than you are now.

Was it too much trouble for those under twenty-one to write horne and secure parental permission? Was the half-hour too much to spare from your busy schedule, or the walk across campus to Marian Hall too arduous?

Are you so insensitive that you can remain indifferent when the need for blood in the Boston area is so great?

Nothing I can say here is going to change your attitude, so I will close now, with the oniy honest comment I can make: For the first time since I stepped on this campus my freshman year, I am ashamed for the Emmanuel student body.

The policy, as presently freshmen. Each individual stu­stated, ·is "that students have dent would -then obtain par­the right to determine their ental permission for the cur­own social regulations." The few decided uPon. issue here is not that the pres­ent curfew hours are too early or too late, but rather that the responsibility for deciding what kind of curfew exists should be in the hands of those who are directly affected by cur­fews - the dorm students.

SELF-DETERMINED RESTRICTIONS

In proposing this policy, nei­ther the Student Government nor the I .D.C. is suggesting that the present curfew hours be replaced by a set of later curfews, or that curfews be abolished, but rather that stu­dents themSelves decide what kind of curfews they want, be they earlier or later than the ones we presently have.

One of the ideas behind this proposal is that since Emman­uel is advancing academically in areas of independent study and active participation of stu­dents in the educative process, the right of students to control respons ibly their own social

Jives should advance corres­pondingly .

It has been observed by Ro­land Liebert that "A liberal education is fundamentally education for the intelligent use of freedom in a free so­ciety." It is obvious that this use of freedom should be ex­ercised in all aspects of our lives, not just in matters per­taining to the classroom.

OPPORTUNITY FOR MATURITY

This of course would not means that students would stay out until curfew limits each n ight, but ra ther that students would learn to replace the presently imposed curfews with rules dictated by t heir own sense of judgment. It will, in a sense, give .each student the opportunity to deve lop social maturity and learn to appreci-

HOW DO WE VIEW OURSELVES?

Now the question concerns not how the administration re­gards us as socially mature in­dividuals, but how we our­selves and, more critically, our parents, view us as socially mature individuals.

How would your parents re­act (or would they?) if the curfews were extended or eliminated?

Each individual and her par­en15, would have to resolve t h is matter of curfews, rather than it being resolved. between the students and the adminis­tration.

For the implementation of this program, parents will have to be educated to the issue and its possi.ble ramifications.

Saturday of Parents' Weekend, a series of speakers and a panel will discuss the issue after whiCh parents will be free to

raise questions in small groups.

EDUCATE PARENTS TO THE ISSUE

Sh'Ortly after Parents' Week­end, a questionnaire will be sent out to the p arents of dorm s tudents to obtain their reac­t ions. This a spect of Paren ts' Weekend is designed merely to acquaint parents with the issue ; the actual resolving of any conflicts will have to take place on an individual basis.

On September 16, Annette Rossi, a graduate of the class of 1968, left t o go to t he Notre Dame m ission in Embakwe, Rhodesia to teach for one year. There is a grea~ shortage of -teachers and a great need to h elp the natives and coloured t o experience the w orld in its w ider contest.

Regarding the Bloodmobile on September 23, 1968 which w as held in Marian Hall Gym from 11 a .m. - 4:45 p .m. and sp onsored by the Senior Class:

Bear in mind that this is the projected plan and that these programs are tentative. S tu­dent Government and I .D.C. will distribute a surve y to a ll resident students to pQll their opin ions concerning student self-d eterm ination of social r ules. Actual implementati'On of these p lans will depend upon the assessment of student at­titudes obtained through thi s survey which will be distrib­uted in the near future, p os­sibly within a week. R esults will be tabulated and published in Focus.

We had hoped to have two girls going; however , Annette is quite h appy to try this ad­venture alone. She will live with two of the coloured teach­ers on the mission. ~ We are hoping to collect suf­ficient money for her passage through voluntary contribu­tions from friends of Notre Dame. This will be a cost of about $1200. She will receive a . small stipend of government money for her year of work. Next year we hope to have two more girls going. .

Jobs Require SDS In Cafeteria For

Increased New System

Repudiated As Agency Society's Reconstruction'

B,- Joan Chiara The new situation in the Em­

manuel cafeteria is the result of requests by students for em­ployment.

Lists were posted in all the dormitories last spring asking girls to signify their interest in the program. During the sum­mer letters were sent to the 200 interested girls asking them to specify their preferred working hours. From this re­sponse, some 100 girls are now working in the ctlfeteria.

The students are paid' mini­mum wage on a monthly basis by the Treasurer of Emmanuel College. Tax is not deducted from the salary in order to fa­cilitate bookkeeping. Prefer­ence was given to· those girls who can work one meal six 0:­

day. The new I.D. system, by the way will help the kitchen in preparing the proper amounts of food, and has not held up traffic as expected.

Naturally, some of the for­mer cafeteria workers were re­leased in order to create these new jobs. Let the concerned be assured, however, that many of the older cafeteria staff were only part-time employees and have other sources of income, e .g. Social Security. In other words, they were not put at the mercy of the Welfare Depart­ment.

Press Re]ease by Reader's Digest

While the organization known as Students for a Demo­cratic Society represents only a minuscule minority of stu­dents, it has managed to playa leading role in the violence, bloodshed and arson that have exploded across college cam­puses from Columbia to Stan-ford. .

Details of how this small but militant group has man­aged to disrupt college life are revealed in the October Reader's Digest by Eugene Methvin of the magazine's Washington bureau. Quoting SDS officials and members, he reports that the organization's ultimate goal ·'is nothing less than the destruction of society

While many SDSers are ac­tively anti-Kremlin, they share with the communists a common' desire to destroy, to annihilate and to tear down, the article asserts.

Citing SDS's role in the re­cent upheaval at Columbia University, Mettlvin declares ; hat firmer action by school au­thorities in support of the anti­r~dical "Majority Coalition" would have averted escalating violence that culminated in cancellation of classes a t Co-lumbia. .

W 11 i I e acknowledging that legitimate grievances by stu­dents must receive ' ~far more attention" from officials than heretofore, Methvin says that prompt action by students and administrators is a must to pre­vent campus-wide clashes in the future .

Sidney Hook, noted New Yo r k University philoso,phy professor, has said that SDS members " threaten to become the true grave diggers of aca­demic freedom in the United States." Only prompt action. by school authorities and the over­whelming majority of students can prevent the grave from being dug.
