Five hundred members of the freshman class were accepted as part of an Early Decision Pro­gram started this year by the Admissions Office. For these 500 students. Montclair State represented their first choice in colleges. Approximately 80 fresh­men will begin their studies as part time evening students. These freshmen were strong academically but could not be accomodated because of lack of space.

Two PhasesThe program will operate in

two phases. Phase One will create a “ suggestibility” in the student population of disadvan­taged areas. It is hoped that the concept of a college education will be brought into the students’ realm of possibility. The pro­gram will work through stand­ard communication channels in­cluding school assembly pro­grams, printed brochures, sound tracks, a special film to be made at MSC, and radio and television. Seventh grade students will re­ceive the initial exposure to the program.

The second phase of the pro­gram will attempt to convert the “ suggestibility” into action by briefing 100 local persons to spread information on aid and a point of view favorable to college study. TRY will stress the avail­ability of aid for needy students

Voice of Montclair State, an o r -1 under Title IV and other federal

laws. Students will also be in­formed of other financial aids in­cluding grants, loans, outside employment, and scholarships. The program will be a joint ef effort of TRY, college students, and already existing agencies such as Upward Bound, Spurt, and Community Action Groups.

Students Wanted TRY will provide many ser­

vice opportunities for Montclair State students. Mr. Brown has stressed the fact that many stud­ent volunteers are needed to in­sure the success of the program. The program should provide stu­dent volunteers with a reward­ing and interesting experience. Montclair students are needed to act as local school representa­tives, to prepare audio-visual aids, to work as members of team panels and to do clerical work. Interested students should contact Mr. Brown in the Admis­sions Office on Valley Road.

Three Major Productions Highlight Players Season

by Leslie Anne HairA Renaissance tragedy, an American expressionistic

drama, and a Broadway fnusical will ¡Highlight the 1967-68 Players season. During the coming year the group will pres­ent the works of a variety of artists, ranging from William Shakespeare to George Gershwin.

This fall Players will open their season with a production cf Shakespeare’s Macbeth. This tale of ruthless murder and "vaulting ambition” will be pre­sented in November in Memor­ial Auditorium. The show may also tour five or six high schools during the Christmas vacation.

A workshop production of “ Co­mic Scenes” will be performed in December to open Players’ new theatre in the Speech Wing adjacent to Memorial Auditor­ium. Part of the evening will be devoted to Gammer Gurton's Needle, an old English comedy which was first performed at Cambridge University in 1566.

'Elmer Rice’s Adding Machine, a satiric attack on the men of the “ machine age,” will be present­ed in February. One of the first expressionistic dramas to be suc­cessfully produced on the Amer­ican stage, Adding Machine tells the story of a white-collar work-

er who is hopelessly enslaved by modern society.

In May, Players will end the season with its first musical, George Gershwin’s Pulitzer Prize winning show, Of Thee I Sing. Written in 1931, this mus­ical burlesque satirizes Ameri­can party politics by showing a presidential campaign conducted on a platform of Love. With a presidential election coming in the fall of 1968, Of Thee I Sing is a particularly apt choice for presentation this year.

These four productions repre­sent a very ambitious undertak­ing for the group. It is evident that they will provide Montclair State with a varied and exciting theatrical program during the coming year.

A Welcome to FreshmenIt is ironical, that, in the academic world,

Autumn, not Spring, brings “'new life.” MSC’s “new life” is the Class of 1971, a group of 1279 freshmen. It is perhaps the largest class we’ve had on campus.

We of Monidarion could offer much ad­vice to the freshman class. However, our ad­vice will be brief, lest it become lost in the mass of information already collected during orientation. We are sure that little we could say would seem as important as the number of bricks in the auditorium wall, the number of steps in the amphitheatre, the number of parking spaces in the freshmen parking lot or Annex u’s location.

We hope that the amount of facts which the freshmen will accumulate during their edu­cation here will become more than mere facts. Let’s hope that the freshmen will never become so hardened by the educational pro-

they lose the ability to feel, to care■®~s>eii5iuvnics -‘A “ Tu<- 7". r resum e«,

never iorget that dreaming is an important part of life. Don’t be overcome by your dreams, but realize that they are something for which you may strive.

In short, freshmen, we hope that your edu­cation at Montclair will enable you to live a more useful, complete, and sensitive life. Wel­come and Best Wishes.

Students Only!Chances are that as you read this news­

paper you might find numerous evidences of human failings. You, O mighty upperclass­man, might be tempted to criticize your col­lege paper for its lack of coverage. You, O noble English major, might be prone to detect several misplaced punctuation marks or dangling participles. And you, O humble freshman, might become nostalgic and tend to reminisce about the journal of your former Alma Mater. How many interested college students will attempt to come out again this year to give their support to improve their college newspaper? How many, visualizing the skeleton crew of three which slaved to put out this first issue, will make any efforts at all, beyond criticism, to aid in this journal­istic undertaking?

This Monday evening, Sept. 18, at P.M. there will be a general staff meet­ing for any interested students — freshmen, sophomores, juniors or seniors—who would like to devote some time, any time, to work­ing on their college newspaper in any capa­city — reporting, typing, editing, window washing, etc. Seriously, we of the Mont- clarion do invite you to join our staff and work toward improving the college paper. We hope that we will see you at the meeting on Monday in the Publications Office.

Keep Montclair Green!Summer has given Montclair State a new

coat of green. The Maintenance staff has spent hours maintaining and reseeding lawns. The College High mall, which was planted

last year, has blossomed into a lovely patch of green. Much work has gone into trans­forming the trampled mall into a miniature “ Valhalla.”

We of the Montclarion hope that the stu­dent body will realize the hours of work which went into refurbishing the lawns about the campus. We hope that students will find other “shortcuts” other than those which run across the campus lawns. We also hope that students will throw their garbage into the proper receptacles and not onto the lawns. Litter your cars—not the parking lots. With a small amount of effort, we can keep the lawns green and help make the campus beautiful.

The outside of the campus is not the only area which needs our care. We come back tr a clean Life Hall; floors have been polished, carpets cleaned and walls painted. We wonder how long it will stay clean. Perhaps we are too soon to criticize. However, we remember last year’s clean-up campaign in Life Hall, which failed. We have seen a littered Life Hall year after year. This is the year for a change!

y T 1— r w '. n l l . 9+ n r l o r * - - » i l l K o r n r t tr\ t z h n iir ,npride in their campus by keeping it cleahT'ii' we do keep the campus beautiful, perhap Lady Bird, who has dedicated herself to pre serving a Beautiful America, will send us a whooping crane award!

Hazing Is HealthyYes, recover from your shock, freshmen

hazing is healthy, helpful and hilarious. De­spite the humiliation and apparent frivolities of such activities as hazing, rat court, and dinks, there is a basic impQrtance to these orientation procedures. It is during this first and very important Orientation Week that many freshman’s opinions of all phases of the Montclair campus life will be formed. The activities of Orientation Week are de­signed to help you meet other students who will be experiencing the same problems as you.

There are almost 1300 freshmen alone. You, coming from a small home-town high school may be a little apprehensive of the large number of new faces you have encoun­tered and will" encounter as your career at Montclair State develops. We of the Mont­clarion staff hope that you have enjoyed this week and that you will benefit from the new frienships you have made. Good Luck!

THE RIOTS AND OUR RESPONSIBILITIESSince my last message to our college family through the

Montclarion, we have had a major riot on our doorstep in the City of Newark. Naturally, this has caused a great concern to all of us and I feel impelled to make some comments be­cause colleges cannot exist behind ivy covered walls. How could this catastrophe have happened in our country—the wealthiest and one of the most democratic in the world? Perhaps provincialism would al­low us to ignore Watts and De­troit, but Newark and Plainfield are clearly our problems (and I think problems of every ed­ucator in the State of New Jer­sey).

The horror and anarchy which was part of the Newark inci­dent was frightening and the looting and shooting shocked our middle class sensitivity. Violence is repugant and no amount of understanding will eliminate our strong emotional reaction to it.But we must struggle to under stand the whole problem of the American Negro, for in my opin­ion our profession does have a special responsibility to help solve it.

Positions axe now open to all students who are interested in working on the MONTCLAR­ION staff as reporters, editorial assistants, and typists.

Those people interested in make-up, proof reading, and business are particularly needed. Name Class of

LIFE HALL

With our state and national re­sources, how can we excuse the disgrace of economic deprivation, psychological suppression, and the other socio-economic condi­tions which contributed to, if not caused, the riots this summer. In the hundred years since the Am­erican Negro was given a kind of token freedom he has been discriminated against in hous­ing, employtment, and eduoa-

,*;■*••* ***** A* ‘t '̂' n-a rtrt 1-------? .ov-

'sted in the Nortn as well as in the South, and, in places like New Jersey the effects of pre- ■udice have been so subtly applied as to allow many of us to sincerely maintain a blissful ig­norance. As a result of a gen­eralized environmental handicap, the Negro-American has been kept geographically isolated, po­litically impotent and at the very lowest end of the economic scale.

For an appreciation of this di­lemma the power of the environ­ment must be recognized. Near­ly all people-white as well as Negro-Americans are so immer­sed in their own cultural en­vironment as to make a real un­derstanding of it impossible. The most educated among us can not assume that we have a com­pletely objective view of the val­ues and conditions of our own culture. We can look outside of our own situation and find an illustration-a modern civilized

society which was accomplished in the arts and sciences, organ­ized and systematically murd­ered 6,000,000 Jews. Educated Germans allowed this to oc­cur and most of them still do not know how it happened. Ed­ucated Americans allowed our racial situation to deteriorate to its present state and most of us still do not know how it hap­pened. The magnitude of the two illustrations may be different but they both show the difficulty people have in recognizing cat­astrophe as it develops in their own culture.

Well, what is the solution-can people transcend the restrictions to understanding imposed by the all-engulfing nature of their own cultural environments? In a mod­ern democratic society the insti­tution of education has the po­tential to greatly influence the direction of cultural change. If educators could rise above the assumptions, the prejudices, the unexamined values of their so- ciety-they could do much to pre­vent the social illness of which riots are a symptom.

Monte’“ ** oi«sie coiie^o tjgg de- veloped a program for prepar­ing teachers for socially-econom- ically deprived areas and this program is in part an attempt to work on some of the prob­lems I have been discussing. More needs to be done. Teachers and professors should spend more time out of their cloistered classrooms, laboratories, and li­braries. We must get into the sick and troubled areas of our communities. We should learn and teach about the realities of our social condition.

In the history of civilization, that is fine and beautiful. In the history of man's long struggle to educate himself, our society has also produced much which can bring us pride. Can we now bring to our own profession new qualities of perspective and ob­jectivity which will allow us to surmount the insularity of our own cultural environment?

Thomas H. Richardson President

AN OPEN LETTERHOMECOMING IS NOT ONLY FOR THE GREEKS

The weekend of October 20th through 23rd has been chosen for this year’s Homecoming. As usual, most of the fraternities and sororities will enter a float in the parade, but what of the students who are not members of these organizations; how do they participate? The answer is simple. Every student is a member of a class and every class always constructs a float. Most of the students belong to either an honorary organization or a general interest club. These organization are also invited to enter.

In the past, however, few organizations other than the Greeks have participated and the class floats never have enough people working on them. You can help change this by getting actively involved on your class or organization’s Homecoming Committee. Attend your class council meetings and keep posted through the Life Hall bulletin boards.

Only through your support will Homecoming be a success!NADINE UDALL

Letter To The Editor( Grading System

To the Editor:During the Spring semester,

l 1967, among other things, we i have studied and discussed grad­i n g systems in general and the

grading system at Montclair State College in particular. In oUr discussions many pros and cons were presented on the sub­ject. However, the consensus of opinion in our class is that the cons far outweight the pros; that there must exist a more valid and better system of evaluation than the one we now have.

We, the members of this class, would like to take this opportun­ity to express our concern about

‘ the validity of our present grad- f ^ ing system here at Montclair. [ We realize some of the benefits * to be derived from this grading

system, such as: providing a means for each faculty member to compare his students’ perfor­mance on the basis of his per-

: ception of a grade, possibly spurring some students to work

■ 'Jv'rder, possibly improving one’sj * ---------------------------------------------

self-esteem, and standardizing procedures.

In spite of these arguments in support of the status quo, we feel that the following reasons will suffice to show our desire for a change.

Grades in the present system:

1. Do not tell what is be­ing tested-memory, knowledge, ability to pass tests, effort, etc.

2. Do not tell whether one instructor is harder than an­other.

3. Do not tell whether some courses are more difficult than others.

4. If an average grade, will not show how much a student has improved.

5. Are based on what a stu­dent does not know rather than on how much he does know.

6. Prevent students from ex­pressing their opinions of a course for fear of retaliation.

7. Would tend to be destructive for students’ self image.

8. Dehumanize and become impersonal.

9. Encourage students to work for grades rather than for know­ledge and learning.

10. Fail to specify individual instructors’ perception of speci­fic grades.

Vx. Ttnrid to be mcti tre pons by the instructor.

12. May create tensions and anxieties among students.

13. May create self-centered competition.

We hope that our feelings may carry some weight; that they will merit some consideration by the administration and the Fac­ulty Advisory Council, and that they will be viewed in the vain of constructive criticism of our present grading system.

We realize that there is a def­inite need for a system of eval­uation; and although we really have no definite ideas on how such an evaluation can be made more valid, we do feel that with your help and cooperation, and with the aid of the professors and students at Montclair State Col­lege, we can institute a system of evaluation which would be more justifiable in terms of the word evaluation rather than the word grade or mark.

Eighth Summer Financial Aids Workshop Held

This year for the eighth sum­mer the Montclair State Speech Department conducted its six- week Summer Theatre Work­shop. Over 20 college graduate and undergraduate students and 35 high school students attended the workshop classes and par­ticipated in its two major pro­ductions.

The high school students, who came from 31 high schools in New Jersey, attended four hours of classes daily in addition to evening rehearsals. Their cour­ses covered various aspects of play production such as techni­cal theater, acting, and speech.

The college students attending the workshop had a choice of courses including beginning and advanced acting, technical thea­tre stage lighting, and play di­rection.

First Play ...........Their first piay, Stage Door,

by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman, was presented on Ju­ly 11 and 12 after only 11 re­hearsals. Directed by Dr. Clyde McElroy, this 1936 comedy con­cerns the lives of a group of aspiring young actresses living in a New York boarding house.

This show was followed by a musical children’s play entitled The Bremen Town Musicians.It was directed by Mr. William

Final PlayFor their final production, the

Workshop presented The Insect Comedy, an allegory on man and society written by Josef and Ka­rel Capek. "It was written 50 years ago, but has a very mod­ern theme, explained the shows’ director, Dr. Jerome Rock wood. The story points up men’s weak­nesses by comparing human be­havior to that of insects.

The Summer Theatre Work­shop was under the co-ordination of Dr. L. Howard Fox, chair­man of the Speech Department. In addition to Dr. McElroy and Dr. Rock wood who directed the productions. Mr. Scott Mac- Connell (scenery and lighting designer) and Mr. Donald Sobo- lik (costume supervisor) also participated in the program.

by Ulrich NeunerVARIOUS FINANCIAL AIDS

To acquaint the students at Montclair State College with available financial assistance, Mr. Neuner will prepare an article for each issue of the Moniclarion describing various local, state and national grants, loans and work-study pro­grams and how to apply for aid.

Financial need is the difference between the amount of money a student and his family can provide for an education and the expense of that educa­tion. Financial need is not a term synonymous with pover­ty. It is related to college espen- ses as well as family financial strength. While maintaining its objectively measured standard of living, a family that would need substantial financial aid to send its child to one college might need much less to meet that child’s expenses at another institution. Two elements must almost be considered:

1. The amount of money the student and his family can rea­sonably be expected to contrib­ute toward a definite period of education, usually an academic year.

2. The expense of the education during that period at the institu­tion of higher education the stu­dent plans to attend.

Financial need is the differ­ence between these two amounts.The greater the difference, the greater the need; measured on a scale relative to college expen­ses.

Who is Eligible?The federal grant, loans, and

work-study programs are de­signed for students who are ad­mitted to post-secondary insti­tutions or who are enrolled in such institutions, who are in need of assistance to pay their coYiege expenses; ana

in good academic standing. Within the group of needy stu­dents, those of "exceptional fi­nancial need’ ’ are eligible for the Educational Opportunity Grants program, and those from “ low income families" are to be given preference in the alloca­tion of jobs under the College Work-Study Program.

Eligible CandidatesCandidates in “ academic good

standing’’ are defined as those eligible to continue to attend the institution in which they are en­rolled.

Candidates with “exception fi­nancial need” are defined as those students coming from fam­ilies in which the parents can contribute less than $600 per year toward the expenses of post-secondary education.

Candidates from “ low income families” that are receiving or are eligible to receive assistance under a public or private welfare program, or whose parents have combined incomes less than those given in the following schedule :

Below $4,350 with 2 children; below $4,950 with 3 children; $5,550 with 4 children; 6,150 with 5 children; $6,750 with 6 child-.,lUTl.6"’1' " -------------------

Statistics Reveal Student Increases

A record number of teachers — 2.6 million — will greet a record number of students — 57.2 million — when schools open this fall, the U.S. Office of Education said today.

The Nation’s education bill for the coming year also will set a record — more than $52 billion, almost 7 per cent of the Gross National Product.

Approximately 60 million persons — 50 more than 30 per­cent of the U.S. population—will be occupied with education as pupils, teachers, or administrat­ors.

Back-to-school estimates, com­piled annually by the Office of of Education, indicate record en­rollments for the 23rd consecu­tive year.

idence of the strong growing commitment of the American people to education,” HEW Un­der Secretary Wilbur J. Cohen said. “ The Nation is investing a larger share of its resources in its schools, and young people are staying in school longer.”

“This should help to increase our national productivity. It snould enable more persons to fully utilize their capacities. It is a constructive and hopeful sign for the future of our coun­try,” he said.

Higher education is expected to show the largest percentage enrollment increase. About 6.5 million students are likely to en­roll in colleges and universities this fall, up 8.3 percent from 6 million last year.

High school enrollments (grades 9 through 12) may increase 3 percent, from 13.3 million to 13.7 million.

A decline in births since 1961 is beginning to slow the pace of elementary school enrollments (kindergarten through grade 8); a slight gain of 1.4 percent is an­ticipated, from 36.5 million to 37 million. The full impact of the lower birth rate may not be felt until the early 1970’s.WASHINGTON SQUARE PRESS, INC. nI w ™ 7k% \VEiSoU2o

GROWTH FORESEEN IN COLLEGE AREA

by Donald S. Rosser New Jersey Education Assn.

What will the college of the future be like? If present trends continue, it will have more students, fewer restrictions and considerably less ivy.

One of the most obvious changes will be growth, thinks Lewis B. Mayhew, professor of education at Stanford Univer­sity. “By 1980,” he foresees, “ the average size of a college will be 20,000 students, and it will be located in an urban or metropolitan area of 100,000 pop­ulation or more. Gone will be the day when the stereotyped vision of a college is that of a small, tranquil place set in a romantic small town, far from the tempt- tations of the city.”

Today’s small college will triple its enrollment by 1980,Mayhew believes, and a few larger colleges—such as Michi­gan Stale, the University of Illi­nois, and the University of Minn­esota—will become virtual cit­ies with over 50,000 students.

Large Universities Large universities probably

Gymnastics Team Looks Promising

A ten match schedule has been announced for Montclair State’s 1968 varsity gymnastic team by Henry Schmidt, Director of Ath­letics.

The Indians, under Coach Wil­liam Savering, open the season on Jan. 6, 1968. at home against Long Island University.

During the season Montclair State will meet, in addition to LIU, Trenton State, United States Merchant Marine Aca­demy, Southern Connecticut State, Slippery Rock State (Pa.), Ithaca, Cortland State, United States Coast Guard, Queens and West Chester State (Pa.).

Savering's team posted the first winning record in MSC his­tory during 1965 with five wins in nine matches.

With such standouts as Rick Schwarz, most valuable player on the 1967 squad: Joe Miller; Hank Shaw; Bob Day; David Green; Jon Guenther and Ron Poling, the Indians’ future in gymnastics would appear to be bright.

ing resources” to make self-contained schools.

Urban colleges will sprawl through large portions of the big cities. Taking buses and sub­ways from class to class, stud- dents will “ profit from the var­iegated richness of experience which renovated cities provide.” Mayhew thinks more important, the urban college “ will bring education to the people rather than force the people to come to the college.''

Automated InstructionSome colleges may develop

various degrees of automated in- struction. The automated col­lege will minimize course work and, instead, seek to individual­ize instruction through the use of study booths, tape recorders, filmstrip machines, and pro­grammed textbooks. But. “ none of the better known undergrad­uate colleges or universities will have taken this route.”

Sixty per cent or more of all persons between the ages of 17 and 22 will be attending college. A national admissions office, linked by computers to regional centers, will match applicants with lists of colleges that would accept them.

Mueller Made Asst. Coach

The appointment of Bob Muel­ler as head wrestling and assist­ant football coach at Montclair State has been announced by Henry Schmidt, Director of Athletics.

Mueller, a native of Westfield, is taking over wrestling from Henry (Hank) Ferris. Ferris served last year as head coach in both football and wrestling.

In addition to wrestling, Muel­ler will be Ferris' number one assistant in football. In football, he will be replacing Bob Born- stein who resigned to become head basketball coach at New Brunswick High School.

A standout in football, wrest­ling and track at Westfield High School, Mueller went on to Itha­ca College and starred in all three sports at the New York State college.

Following graduation in 1965, Mueller became head football and wrestling coach at Ilion High School in New York State.

This past September he return­ed to Ithaca as a graduate as­sistant in football while study­ing for his master’s degree.

Rodgers Trains During Summer For 1968 Olympic Pentathlon

Dale Rodgers, former fencing star at Ramapo Regional High School and freshman sensation this past winter with Montclair State, was one of 20 boys who took part at Fort Sam Houston in a five-week development program for the 1968 Olympic’s Pentathlon.

The program, titled the Junior Olympic Development Clinic of the United States Olympic Pentathlon, was con­ducted by the United States Ar- ---------------------------------------my.

The Pentathlon, an Olympic event for nearly 50 years, con­sists of five events. Competition in the Olympics is held over a five-day period in the e p e e wea­pon in fencing, cross-country horseback riding, 440-yard free­style swim, running 4000 meters cross-country and target shoot­ing with a .22-caliber pistol.

The history of the event goes back to the days of 1600’s in Europe when competition was first held among the various ar­mies of ruling kings and lords.

Rodgers, five feet eight inches Jail__and__145_ pounds, got in-

The idea of the camp is to improve the United States’ chan­ces of winning a gold medal in an event in which it has never won one.

.struction in all five events dur­ing his five-week training pro­gram by the best United States Army instructors.

Should the Montclair State College star athlete be one of the five selected from the group presently working out, he will get additional training before the 1968 games in Mexico.

Rodgers, who lives at 76 Birch Road, Franklin Lakes, captained the MSC fencing team as a freshman this season and led the squad with a brilliant 21-5 mark in saber.

The former Ramapo Regional High School student gets his in­terest in pistol shooting and horseback riding from his father, Dale Sr., who is a devoted out- doorsman.

Dale gets a chance to horse­back ride every day on the Rod- j gers grounds where his father j keeps a riding horse.

Rodgers, who as a twin bro­ther, Dave, studying at Colum­bia University, is a very unique story. At three years of age doctors told Dale’s parents that he had a slight heart problem and for nearly all of his child-1 hood was very carefully watch- | ed when taking part in athletics.

However, in the last two years the doctors have given the Fran- lin Lakes youngster the go-ahead to take part in any activity he desires.

In addition to his twin, Dale has an older brother, Monty, re­cently discharged from the Un­ited States Army and a sister, Linda, also attending Montclair State College.

The group working out at Fort Sam Houston ranges in age from 16 to 22 years and has been gathered after a wide search across the United States.
