The mixer is given each yearthrough the joint efforts of theAlumni Association and the Stu-dent Council of RIT. Members ofthe student body are selected towork with alumni of the Institute

in planning a gigantic Pre- Christmas affair that will serve as anpre-Christmas affair that willserveas anindication of the strong tie be-tween the undergraduate and thealumni.

Entertainment is being plannedthis year by Joachim (Red) Muel-ler, AA, and Eleanor Rudolph, SAC.Master of ceremonies will be DickRideout, PT.

Once again, there will be no ad-mission charge, all expenses beingcovered by the Alumni Association.Numbers will be passed out to allstudents and door prizes will beawarded to the holders of the luckytickets.

Co-chairmen of the student com-mittee are Jack Siulinski, PT, andJim Nolan, P&P. Working withthem are Carol Newton, PhyllisSprague, Barbara Sider, and Dor-othy White, all of the Retailing 'De-partment, and Don Bijinowski, PT.Ann VanderWeil and JoAnn Greg-ory, AA, are in charge of posters.

Ever cognizant of the beneficialaid books give the student, RITsable librarian Marion C. Steinmanntook unto herself the task of solicit-ing reference and reading matterfor the students at Republic Col-lege, Manila, Philippine Islands.

It was last June that Mrs. Stein-mann placed a box in the library.A box lettered and open for giftbooks. The donors to be RIT stu-dents and teachers. Nearly 200books were collected and dispatchedto the Island institute. The bookstypified American life. And themanner in which they were gath-ered was a glowing example of ourway of life.

The collection was a direct re-sult of an appeal made to Mrs.Steinman by H. A. Aguiling, Pres-ident, Republic College.

A taskthat when completed would addglitter to the rising prestige of theFlower City's technical institution.A warmly kindled spirit ignitedand 200 books was the result. Thebooks were bundled together andshipped to Republic College. Re-ceipt of them in Manila resultedin another letter from PresidentAquiling. It follows:

I acknowledge receipt of yourletter dated November 27, 1950and the books which you so gener-ously donated to this college. Thebooks have been placed in our li-brary for the use of the facultymembers and the student body.These books prove to be very use-ful to them.

I cannot find appropriate wordswith which to thank you for yourkindness in helping rehabilitate ourlibrary which suffered heavy lossesduring the Japanese occupation.

Yours very sincerely,

Mrs. Steinmann, in reporting themost recent communication, againemphasized the glowing pride thatwells in her heart for "her stu-dents" and her associates. She ex-pressed her unbounded thanks forthe books donated and assures allwho participated in the campaignthat their kindliness will foreverbe appreciated by the gratefulFilipinos.

"Soldiers in Korea did not real-ze the extent of North Korean andChinese atrocities until it was re-leased recently," says Elroy Nor-ton (PT '47) who visited the Insti-tute last week after his returnfrom the battlefront in Korea.

"We had all heard about individ-ual cases but the magnitude of theatrocities was not known amongthe troops," he said.

Norton, who was with the ThirdEngineer Combat team attachedto the heroic 24th Division, was inKorea for eight months, from Jan-uary through August of 1951. Hisoutfit had the responsibility of lay-ing mine fields and in some casescleaning them. They also builtsmall bridges, made roads, and ina thousand and one ways helpedreinforce the infantry.

Norton's story of why he was inthe combat engineers is a familiarone. A graduate of the Photo TechDepartment, he tried after beingdrafted to get photographic workfor the Army. Every attemptfailed. Finally when the battalionphotographer was rotated back tothe States from Korea, he won thejob, but he too, was due for rota-tion.

A member of the reserves, he isstill trying to gain a spot in theservice where his technical trainingand interest can be best utilized.

Norton, who lives in Arcade,N.Y. has been lecturing beforevarious groups since his returnand reports that he was surprisedat the understanding of what thesoldiers in Korea are going throughon the part of those to whom hespoke.

cials and members of the Institutethat the programs may go on in-definitely. It is considered an ex-periment by all concerned and of-fers the Institute a chance to getinto this new field of service andpromotion.

It is felt by Institute officialsthat the nature of the course ofstudy at RIT will lend itself verywell to the medium of television.A multitude of subjects for pres-entation can be found in any ofthe nine operating departments ofRIT.

Island Educator Thanks SchoolFor Donation of 200 Books

Opportunities listedFor Staff Members

A question that continues toamaze the senior editors is "Whyshould I give up my spare timeto work for the Reporter?"

It's a question that can be an-swered in a number of ways. Toour way of thinking it is best an-swered by results derived fromworking for the Reporter.

Perhaps the most significantanswer is that by doing so yougain for yourself the knowledgeof having brought a little bit ofentertainment and enlighten-ment to your fellow student. Inso doing you have also height-ened your personal assets. Youhave seen your writings in print.You have learned what a storymust have and how it must bewritten to get into print, thosethings, in themselves, shouldmake you think again and thentake inventory of yourself andyour query.

In most institutions of higherlearning, staff members of astudent publication considerthemselves fortunate. They feelthat they are privileged to beable to write for their schoolpaper. Well, RlTites we here atthe Reporter feel that we are ex-tending to you a very sacredhonor and a distinct privilege

EditorialUnwarranted Behavior

It has often been said that man is a destructive creature,and RIT evidenced proof of the statement recently. TheNewman Club rented the Eastman Smoker for an informaldance, but while some couples danced the evening away,some vandal thought it would be more fun to empty the con-tents of a liquid fire extinguisher on the door and wallssurrounding the Food Administration offices.

This childish behavior, whether on the part of studentsor an outsider, caused the department a great deal of workand trouble.

Liquid entered the office through the transom and underthe door, therefore metal filing cabinets had to be moved,cleaned. Walls had to be washed, and the extinguisher refilled.

The solution in the extinguisher has a corrosive effecton things it contacts, so much more damage could have comeabout had this corrosive action not been stopped.

The question arises, who should be responsible for thedamages? Should the school pay for them and just hope thatit never happens again? Should the organization who is spon-soring the event be responsible? Should an investigation takeplace?

We of the Reporter staff feel that the person whowas responsible for this act of vandalism will feel prettybad about the whole thing, and since we are dealing withmature adults we believe that such a childish incident willnever happen again. Don't let us down.

Student Council BudgetHave you ever stopped to consider just how powerful

your Student Council is ? Do you realize that the RIT Coun-cil is set up with as much, if not more, power to govern stud-ent activities as any other college's student governing body?

Our Council isn't just an advisory body. It has \juris-diction over the entire student association, all student activi-ties, directs all Institute sports, supervises all student organ-izations, provides financial support for many of these, andfinances all athletics at RIT..

Because of the 22 per cent drop in day school enrollmentthis semester, the Student Association Fund totaled only$17,000—four thousand less than last year's total.

All formerly subsidized clubs were dropped, Techmilacut $1,500, varsity tennis, basketball and wrestling cut. Var-sity baseball and fencing had to be dropped from inter-col-legiate competition.

When the budget committee of Student Council met withthe Athletic Board of the Institute, it was decided that it wasfinancially impossible for the Council to support five varsitysports.

An announcement of this kind always hits a student bodyhard, and much feeling was aroused. Some of the supposedlynon-existent "school spirit" came to light.

We wondered if there wasn't someone who cared if wehad teams in baseball and fencing. Patrons of the Institutealumni and friends have endowed the school for seven milliondollars, why wouldn't someone endow these athletic teams?

Last year's baseball team was the most successful inthe history of RIT. Fencing has great potentialities in bothmen's and women's teams this year according to CoachFlorescue.

It is impossible for the Student Council to support theseactivities, but surely there is a person or persons who realizejust how much athletics mean to a college, to the school spiritof the students, and would like to do something about it.

Many of you feel that these cuts, and the discounting oftwo major sports is a hard pill to swallow, but there is no wayin sight to save the day, unless some patron saint comes tothe rescue.

Students Pay-by-the-hourBerea, Ohio — (IP) — Changes

in tuition rates at Baldwin-WallaceCollege this year probably willmake this institution the first lib-eral arts college in Ohio to chargetuition on the credit hour basis.Under the new plan, regular lib-eral arts students will be charged$9 per credit hour.

The previous system charged allregular students a flat rate of $125per quarter, though their courseloads ranged from 12 to 17 hours.

Although the new plan resultsin an increase of about eight percent for students taking a fullcourse load of 15 hours, it pro-vides advantages for those who be-cause of outside work must keeptheir course load at a minimum.

THE QUESTIONWhat do you think should be

done about the dropping or re-taining of the baseball andfencing teams

Mike Schriebersdorf . . .Photo Tech Senior:

Small sportsare what weneed here atRIT to bringus together andraise our schoolspirit. We allknow that thisyear's loweredenrollment hascaused a lackof funds in the

Student Council's treasury, buteliminating small funds is not theway to make up the deficit. Thelogical way is a proportional cutof the funds allotted to studentactivities.

Joseph Metzger .. .Photo Tech Freshman:

I believe thatboth fencinga n d baseballshould be doneaway with. Thereason beingthat they werethe last two tobe started, soif there is ashortageof funds theyshould naturally be dropped first.

Ellie Rulof .. .School of American Craftsman

Freshman:I think that

both the base-all and the

fencing teamsshould be kept.Student Coun-cil gave $2,000to wrestling andcould not give$200 to fencing.The moneyshould be divid-

ed proportionately and not a raisefor some and cuts for others.

Don Goodman . . .P&P Senior:

I think thatthey shouldcarry both ofthe sports. Thestudent associa-tion fees shouldbe raised from$18 a year perperson to $20 ayear per per-son. If a n yshould bedropped it should be the fencingteam and they should add themoney to the baseball team.

Cleo Wombacker ..Retailing Freshman:

We shoulddefinitely keepboth fencingand baseball. Ican't see whythey shouldgive wrestlingand basketballa raise a n dgive fencingand baseball acut . They

should give them all a propor-tionate cut. If there is still notenough money then they shouldraise the student association feesfrom $18 to $20 per year.

Retailing Students Present Idea;RIT Offers New Course of Study

Guests at the recent conference of Monroe County Home Economicsteachers held at RIT. Hostesses were Mrs. Hoke of the Food Adminis-tration Department and Miss Hogadone of the Retailing Department.

Page 3

Early this fall a group of retail-ing juniors found themselves witha couple of free hours every Mon-day and Thursday. What they didabout it is a little unusual andaccording to Robert Koch, head ofthe English section of the GeneralEducation Department, a "wonder-ful thing."

They visited their departmentsupervisor, Edwina Hogadone, andsuggested they fill in this free timewith a new course. She got in touchwith Koch and as a result the freehours on Monday and Thursdayare devoted to a course called, "AnIntroduction to Literature."

An introduction to literature canbe a dull, slow-moving subject.Recognizing this, and with appreci-ation of the fact that the studentswanted something interesting sinceit was a voluntary proposition,Koch and Tom 0' Brien, instructor,organized the course so that it em-phasized appreciation and enjoy-ment of the best in English andAmerican literature. To a largedegree they discarded the oldmethod of dissection of literature.Rather, they approached it as a"kind of manageable, able-to-be-seen human experience." Theypoint out the powers of language;connotation, suggestion, etc.

Above all, reports O'Brien, "Wewant our students to want to con-tinue reading materials of this typein later life."

The reading list is extensive andvaried and covers the several dif-ferent types of literature, such as,short stories, poetry, novels andplays.

"The reading list has been made,possible by the technological ad-vances that have brought the 25-cent and 35-cent books to the mar-ket," says Koch. "The class hasbeen using them exclusively andhave not had to sacrifice quality ofreadings," he added.

Students in the course are re-ceiving.-two hours credit for it,and since it began some retailersare taking it in addition to an al-ready full schedule. The course waschecked by Dr. W. W. Charters,RIT's educational consultant.

The course got under way with avolume of short stories, entitled,"Stories for Here and Now," andmoved into reading and discussionof a volume of poetry. \

Books on the reading list include:Heart of Darkness by Conrad;Wuthering Heights by Bronte;Madame Bovary by Flaubert;The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck;Portrait of the Artist as a YoungMan by Joyce; Bread and Wine bySilone; Thais by France; Man'sFate by Malraux .

In the spring, the course willinclude the reading of severalplays and it is hoped that a record-ing of The Death of a Salesmanwill be available.

Alumni RecordsBeing Compiled

The Photo Tech Department is inthe process of compiling an AlumniDirectory. This Directory will con-tain the name, address, employer,and job of every Photo Tech whoattended classes for one year ormore between 1931 and 1951.

Direct mailing to all alumni, ac-cording to addresses on file in thedepartment office, was begun late inNovember. Job placement formswere also included in the mailing.This should aid materially in lo-cating graduates and in the morerapid placing of graduates in moredesirable jobs.

Returns from the mailing areswamping the Photo Tech office. Mr.Neblette remarked, "Graduate re-sponse to this project has been mostgratifying. The many personal notessent along with the forms have beeninteresting and helpful in completingmany of our records. A surprisinglylarge number of our graduates seemwell pleased with their present posi-tions, although they are constantlyworking to better themselves."

Any Photo Tech alumnus not re-ceiving correspondence in regard tothis project is requested to write thedepartment office so that existingrecords may be brought up to date.

"The Cease Fire talksfail to arouse much interest orhope of an early peace any more.The most interesting subject overhere is rotation. It is the desire ofall the military to depart thiscountry as soon as possible.

"Although the countryside isbeautiful, the living standards ofthe Koreans is very low and thetowns literally stink. We live in awonderful country and it takes atrip to Korea to bring this for-cibly to one's attention."

Photo-Journalism ClassOffers Practical Training

As you are reading this issue of the Reporter do youhave any idea of the amount of time, work, and skill involvedin let us say the few inches of copy and one picture you arereading under this heading Photo-Journalism at RIT? Howmany of you know that RIT is now offering a course in thissubject as a senior major in the Photo Tech Department?

Reporter Deadlines RevisedRevised deadlines for the remaining issues of the RIT Reporter

are shown below. A weekly schedule for the paper has been postponed.Articles submitted for publication must be in the hands of the CampusEditor by the date listed in column 4, Reporter's Deadlines.

1951-52

December 7, 1951 Page 5

The students of Mr. James Fos-ter's Photo-Journalism class are anextremely busy group. Their 10class hours a week in that courseare rapidly convincing them thatoperating a speed graphic, lateron, a 35mm and a reflex camera,making good prints for paper re-production, realizing and getting agood news picture, are not thingsthat just happen, to do well theyrequire plenty of hours of studyand practice.

Study WritingBecause pictures practically

never appear without some formof written material, one hour aweek is spent with Mr. AlexanderBooth studying caption and cut-line writing for all types of illus-tration. Later this will be expand-ed to a study of the short newsstory and the feature story.

Mr. Booth uses a comparisonmethod to get hls points across.Facts are given the class and theyare required to write the story. Oncompletion, their work is comparedto the published news item.

Types of NewsDifferent types of news requlre

different types of pictures andstories. Some are of no value un-less they are made and publishedat once. Fires, spot news, etc., aregood examples of this type. Somepictures and stories can he madeby careful planning over a longperiod of time and put on file forlater use as features. The highschool and alumni day stories usedby the Reporter last year are ex-amples of this type of work. Sports,if well handled, can fall in eitheror both classes.

Theme of CourseTheme of the course is learning

by actual experience. Picture as-signments are given in duplicate,with the lnstructor retaining onecopy. The assignment is actuallya statement of the problem. Thestudent makes his own contactsand copes with the many prob-lems actually encountered in thefield. In doing a series of shortstories on RIT alumni, wnich willbe published in the Reporter short-ly, most of the group had to dealwith security problems. It seemsthat most of the assigned subjectswere employed with companieshandling . rather substantial warcontracts.

In the darkroom the students

have to make prints for offset re-production. This means becomingacquainted with a new set ofstandards and print characteris-tics. Warren Rhodes, who does thecamera work for offset reproduc-tion, spent two weeks explainingwhat happens to a print in repro-duction. Rhodes illustrated histalks by showing actual photo-graphs and copies of their repro-duction from previous issues of theReporter.

The recent series of outstandingnews events, the Brighton disaster,and several serious fires have pro-vided a wealth of unexpected prac-tice in covering on-the-spot news.Usually assignments have to becreated. This is frequently done bythe students.

4 a.m. AsslgnmentIt was a student-created assign-

ment that was responsible recentlyfor the group's getting up at 4a. m. one Saturday—yes, at 4 ona Saturday morning for a schoolproject. The entire class, with theexception of one who had a localassignment for the same morning,were in Geneseo shortly after 5a. m. to photograph a. fox hunt.

Much class time is spent in thestudy of pictures and stories usedin the local papers and such mag-azines as Life, Time, Holiday, etc.All this study, practice, and legwork, are leading to one definiteconclusion: good pictures andstories seldom just happen, theyare the results of long hours ofhard work.

Emphasis is being placed on thefact that this is not a disciplinarysystem. Much helpful advice hasbeen given freshmen about suchthings as scheduling their home-work, planning a balanced pro-gram of outside activities, and be-coming acquainted with Rochester,their new home.

loft at Henrietta, New York; andbecame a year-round theatre groupin Rochester last November.

"Present Laughter", tells thestory of an actor who never stopsworking at his trade—even off-stage. Hovering reluctantly aroundthe borderline of forty, he tangleswith a young blond who loves himto the polnt of offering to accom-pany him to Africa; the amorouswife of his best friend—who con-venlently loses her latchkey atmidnight in the batchelor's apart-ment and an over-eager youngplay-wright. In and out of his dis-ordered living room wander hisSwedish maid in mysticism andcigarette smoke, and a Cockneybutler who compares amours withhis boss. The hapless actor issteered through the shoals by aprosaic secretary who parks herthinklng cap at the door and anex-wife who stays at a safe dis-tance.

With the pledge inita-tion at Lorenzo's andthe Starlite Ball in the

past, Phi Sigs have gotten busywith their many other projects andsocial activities.

Designs have been submitted forchanging the original fraternitypins, while Paul Evans has beendiscussing the changes with hiscommittee.

The new pledge committee forthe coming period has been formed.Mature, constructive pledging isagain being stressed.

On Monday, Nov. 26, there wasa meeting with Phi Sig's sisters,Delta Omicron. The cabin partyfor Dec. 9, was discussed. Co-chair-men Judy Wood and Joe Daviswere appointed for the forthcomingSnow Ball, which takes place Jan.19, at the Hotel Sheraton Roof.

Other brother-sister projects andsocial events were also discussed.

Tom Hussey has been appointedto take charge of the Phi Sig andDO Yuletide festivities, which willinclude an informal "eats" partyfollowed by vocal exercises.

Answers Critics of

Deferment PlanAnn Arbor, Mich.—(IP)—Con-

fusion and misunderstanding arechiefly responsible for the criti-cism directed at Selective. Ser-vice's deferment plan. This is thebelief of E. Lowell Kelly, profesorof psychology at the University ofMichigan who is a member of oneof the scientific advisory commit-tee that helped Selective Servicedraft the plan. He answered whathe considers the major argumentsadvanced by critics.

1. He pointed out that collegestudents deferred under the planare still liable for service afterthe period of educational defer-ment. In fact, the committees rec-ommended that the period ofvulnerability be extended by thenumber of years of deferment.Thus a student deferred fouryears would be liable for serviceup to the age of 30 rather than 26.

2. He contended that critics whobrand the plan as anti-democraticcould use the same argumentagainst the armed services whorefuse to accept persons whomake a low score the generalclassification tests and at thesame time limit advanced reserveofficer training to only the mostintelligent.

3. The charge that the planwould leave us with an "army ofstupid people" also is unsound, hedeclared. The number to be defer-red would only be about the samesize as the superior group alreadydeferred to complete reserve officertraining.

"Youth of Color"

Mrs. ThomasonAuthors Book

Copies of "Youth of Color" a novelby Caroline Wasson Thomason, wifeof the late Calvin C. Thomason, whowas former head of the Institute Gen-eral Education department have beenreceived by several members of theInstitute staff.

It was published by the ExpositionPress Inc. and deals with the racialquestion. The book has been des-cribed as a dramatic conflict ofprejudice. The strength of Mrs.Thomason's story lies in her por-trayal of the bitter conflicts of agroup of young Negroes, fighting forhuman rights and necessities.

The book deals with a world of"living hells where sensitive, deep-feeling human beings are systemati-cally broken and tortured because ofdifferences in color. The most sym-pathetic outlook can never quiteapproximate every breathing secondof torment that makes a man feelinferior, lost, and deprived of hismost basic human freedoms."

The story deals with a widow whosends her youthful protege to OberlinCollege.- The protege is a high-spirited and musically talented girlwho did not know of the dark heritageof her blood. It is this background ofevents that leads to the girl's dis-covery of her Negro blood.

The knowledge at first helps col-lapse all the false security on whichshe had based her life. It leads,however, to an eventual acceptanceof reality and a reassessment of herviews.

Mrs. Thomason now lives in Port-land, Oregon, where she moved withher late husband after his retirementfrom the Institute in 1950.

She is a graduate of Whitman Col-lege, in Walla Walla, Washington,took her M.A. in English at the Uni-versity of California, and her M.S.in journalism at Columbia Univer-sity. Mrs. Thomason has taughtschool from kindergarten to collegelevel for about 20 years.

Calvin C. Thomason began hiscareer at RIT in 1924. It was he who,in 1926, began the managementtraining program which has becomeone of the most important phases ofthe Evening and Extension Divisionof the Institute.

Photo Tech Visits Eastman House

A year 'round vacation wouldindeed be ideal. Unfortunately itis not a practical proposition.

Mr. P. H. Shawcross of thePhoto Tech Department has beendoing the next best thing, continu-ally going over his last vacationvia his many fine color slides.Shaw has put these many slides ininformal and very interesting lec-

ture form, which is proving ex-tremely popular.

Listed among these lecture en-gagements outside the Institute sofar this year are the Kodak ParkCamera Club, the Lake Ave Bap-tist Young People's Club, and theBausch and Lomb Camera Club.

Mr. Shawcross is currently listedas the Burton Holmes of RIT.

Photo Tech freshmen were re-cent guests of the George EastmanHouse. A very interesting after-noon for the group was arrangedby Miss Esther Kominz (PT '51)of Eastman House.

Mr. Beaumont Newhall, Curatorof the House, was presented byMr. Foster. Mr. Newhall spoke insome detail about exhibits and ad-vantages for study offered in thisworld museum of photography. Healso dealt with the life and photog-raphy of Yousuf Karsh. Thisproved extremely helpful when thegroup studied the work of Karshas displayed in the Dryden Gallery.

lowed by a showing of the Colo-rama, a very beautiful and involv-ed color slide show synchronizedto sound. Projection of the Colo-rama was handled by RichardShaufelburger (PT '49).
