They Want To Be Heard

A peaceful revolution is something of a paradox, but this theme of the 1969 yearbook is a fair statement of what was happening on the campus during the year.

Protest-confrontation-play for power-however you define the current campus mood in this country, and despite the fact that special interest groups sometimes use it for their own purposes, it grows out of a number of legitimate complaints and is generally aimed at building a healthier aca­demic environment.

A protest against Dow Chemical Company interviewers resulted in a campus-wide committee to study recruitment and placement policies. A sit­in in the Administration Building at the time of CIA interviews dramatized demands for a University governing body which would represent students, faculty and administration. This proposal is currently under study. The Faculty Senate now admits students who wish to listen to their delibera­tions, and they may be heard if they give advance notice. The committee on changes in the B.A. curriculum included students and held a well­attended open hearing.

In the words of a proposed statement of student rights and privileges, " Students shall be free , individually and collectively, to express their views on issues of institutional policy and on matters of general interest to the student body. The student body shall have clearly defined means through representative student government to participate in the formula­t ion and applicat ion of institutional policy affecting academic and student affairs."

" The goal of the sensitivity or human rela­tions lab is to develop in each participant the ability to be his real self with other peo­ple and to help other people to be their real selves with him. The sensitivity movement is spreading rapidly, and someday sensitized people will be the rule rather than the ex­ception . I want to be around to see that day."

Men Commuters and Women Wayfarers Combine Forces

261

The Commuter Association has restruc­tured its organization. It is no longer two separate organizations of Men Commuters and Women Wayfarers.

With their combined efforts, the Com­muters have spured new interest in the Uni­versity. The Commuter is more than just travelling to and from classes; he is totally involved.

Commuters take part in intermural sports, hold many positions in campus organiza­tions and student government.

They also sponsor informal coffee hours with students, teachers and administrators and hold Commuter dances.

"Bucky" Davis, Entertainment Co-ordinator and Lucille Boule.

The quiet revolution manifested itself in many areas of the social spectrum this year, but none was so clear as the change in the types of popular entertainment brought to this campus. The CLASS OFFI­CERS under the direction of Steve Long and Bob Davis reversed the policy of past years and provided top name talent at reasonable prices. The job was not an easy one for changing a long standing tradition on the URI campus is a near impossiblility. They started with a small concert featuring Judy Collins and after a startling suc­cess preceded to bring the best of the established names to Keaney Gymnasium.

Not yet satisfied with the structure of the funding of the CLASS OFFICERS for concert promotion Steve Long, Bob Davis and Fred Tobin drew up the " Student Entertainment Tax" bill which was pres­ented to the Student Senate. The bill provided for a permanent or­ganization responsible for the production of major popular entertain­ment and also the funding of this organization by a $2.50 per semes­ter tax which would significantly decrease the price of tickets to stu­dents. The students showed overwhelming support for this bill in an informal poll of the campus. The Board of Directors of the State Uni­versities although impressed by the percentage of approval asked that an official Student Senate referendum be taken at Spring regis­tration. The bill passed by a 96% margin.

The revolution has made its mark this year on the social habits of the students of URI. Although it is not nearly complete, those who conceived of this change hoped it would in some small way help to bring the campus together and make students aware of the educa­tional potential of a seven day week rather than the five day week they found when they arrived four years ago.

Richie Havens

It was a real wild night ; as the James Cotton Blues Band filled in until Richie Havens arrived at Keaney Gymnasium Auditorium. Havens arrived about midnight and performed well , but was not appre­ciated due to the lateness of the hour.

Thanks to the fantastic perform­ance by the James Cotton Band the evening was a big success.

The Sigma Chi Derby

Innovation was the key point in this year's Sigma Chi Derby Week. With the assignment of a Sigma Chi " coach " to each housing unit, the par­ticipants were provided with an assistant during the various activities. Group spirit was also em­phasized this year and points awarded to the girls showing the most enthusiasm.

Events of the week included a poster contest, and an auctioning of members of Sigma Chi, using baked goods as barter for slave services. The proceeds, in the form of pies and cakes, were then distributed throughout South County hospital. The Derby Steal , won by Weldin Hall , and the various field games held on the Quad­rangle completed Derby Week. First place was awarded in the form of a bronze trophy to Alpha Xi Omega. Tucker Hall, defending champion, took second place, followed in third by the mem­bers of Aldrich Hall.

Greek Week

Initiated nine years ago at the University of Rhode Island, Greek Week is known to be a high­light in the University's Calender. The week of events encompasses al l aspects of the Greek System and symbo li zes both the competi t iveness and cooperation of the fraternities and sororities on campus. Here the Greeks are at their best as they strive to uphold the trad itions of mental and physical fitness exemplified by the ancient Greeks.

Another word shou ld be added to the words of competiveness and cooperation which has grown through the past years in the Greek system. The word is SPIRIT. The closeness of fraternity­sorority relationsh ips stands boldly afront all else with spirit unmatched in any other previous Greek Week.

Most students did not understand what there was to protest ; the conditions on the campus are the best they have ever been. The problem is one that exists across the country ; the conditions are not good enough. The university has failed in its responsibility to the community ; that community which is trying to help itself and desperately needs college graduates.

The hardest fact for the university to face is that in order to fulfill its responsibility the struc­ture must become more flexible in order to admit more black students. The fact that there are not enough black students qualifying is not the fault of the b lacks but that of the entire education sys­tem which is not geared to handle any other group outside of white middle class " creeping meatbal lism. "

The Afro-American Society made this easy for the university to accept. The demand for more black students did not state that the university must take those students who do not qualify by the white standards, but rather the acceptance of all those that do. This, in itse lf, poses a problem in that to fi ll the demanded quota of black stu­dents just for next year the university would have to recruit black students.

The demonstration itself was very quiet with about 150 people wa lking in a circle or listening to speakers. The high point of the entire day was when the President spent several hours answer­ing the questions of demonstrators. It is truly doubtful that this actually accomplished anything since many felt that the questions were not really answered, nor was any form of meaningful dia­logue established .

For many the demonstration was a learning experience (same as catalogue College Adminis­tration 10). It would appear that it was a neces­sary step to have this sort of demonstration in order to show people where the university is really at. Judging by the events that night ; broken windows in the administration building and a little threat on one that wasn 't broken, it would appear foolish for the black students not to be prepared for self-defense during the next demonstration.

" Quick Martha, get the crosses, white sheets, and gasoline."

Crew

This year President and freshman coach Chris Donaldson and the new head coach, Charlie Thomas, were faced with the loss of most of last year's varsity. However, using freshmen they welded together a fast, spirited frosh boat and a strong though inexperienced JV crew. These crews, seeded against top crews as a result of a successful 68 season, swept one race and one regatta respectively but the lack of experience prevented further victories.

Despite a grim financial situation , Coach Thomas and his determined oarsmen are digging in to shape a winning varsi ty crew for the upcom­ing 69-70 season .
