The jointly sponsored SEC and Tim Meyers Lyceum presentation will be held from 11:00 to 12:30 this morning in room 32,3 of Gleason Library. All students and faculty members are invited to come in at any time and take part. Alexander Kerensky was present in 1917 when the Grand Duke of Russia abdicated. With the fall of the Russian government he and a select few were faced with the formidable task of reconstructing the very structure of the Russian government along democratic lines in a mere 72 hours. His provisional government, had it been able to put down the Bolshevik Revolution in November, 1917, could well have changed the ever complex course of modern history. A man of the import of Kerensky was hard put to escape following the Bolshevik Revolution. Yet with the help of a British intelligence agent, Bruce Lockhart. Kerensky was able to slip away into the night disguised as a sailor. He fled to Britain and later to Paris to emigrate to the United States shortly before World War II. He is currently the Visiting Trustee Professor at Mills College in Oakland. Here indeed is the opportunity of a lifetime to meet and discuss with a man who can personally say what happened at one of the greatest historical events of our Fitch promises 'emphasis on Arts' to fill void With the growing concern about the lagging condition of the arts on campus, the SEC becomes a light in the darkness. In an interview with t h e Foghorn, newly elected Chairman Dennis Fitch promised "a more vigorous and steady emphasis on the Fine Arts which will hopefully fill an embarassing void in our campus cultural life." At a riscent faculty advisory committee meeting it was decided that a minimum number of large evenLs (e.g. Modern Jazz Quartet will be presented (Continued on page 4) times, a revolution whose import have been and will continue to be felt throughout the world for a long time to come. Senate hits mark system The Faculty Senate, last Friday, in its capacity as an advisory council, recommended to Father President that a new system in grading be put into effect beginning next semester. The proposal had been under consideration for a number of weeks and passed at the meeting almost unanimously. It will initiate a plus and minus as well as the latter grade on all official materials concerning a student's grade. The numbers corresponding to the letter grades will also be revised on a possible twelve or thirteen point scale, the exact system not yet having been worked out. It was generally felt by all on the Senate that the proposal, if affirmed by Father President, would be a help and advantage to all concerned. The student with the B-plus will now no longer be ranked with the student who barely rose about a C and, likewise, a student might now get a B-minus when he probably would have received a C for for lack of any exact system. The Grade Point Average will also be more precise now and give an all-around better evaluation of the student's academic merit. A p o 1 i c y of pacification through silence was evident on campus earlier this week as some top administrators refused to discuss Mr. John Brillhart's "Hilltop Hypocrisy" as published last week. The informative replies garnered were as follows. Rev. Robert Sunderland, S.J., Director of Residents, "No." Mr. John Fry. Assistant Director of Residents, "No comment. See Public Information." Rev. John Lo Schiavo, S.J., "No comment. I suggest you see Father President." Rev. Charles Dullea, S.J., was unavailable for comment. Later in the week, however. Father Lo Schiavo issued a statement regarding the matter. He noted that the article began with a truly academic and profitable outlook but soon the language "degenerated . . . into such emotionally charged phrases" as to make "fruitful dialogue hardly possible." Father Lo Schiavo concluded that in view of the above "the attitude of those who did not wish to comment immediately is also most understandable." Since the administration seemed unwilling to comment, the lay faculty were asked for their impressions as opinions regarding the controversial article. Mr. John Collins, of the Speech and Drama department, said that although he felt the article provided an excellent service to USF, he didn't feel ti to John Brillhart Non-moustachioed iconoclast be a completely fair evaluation. He cautioned that he doesn't know too much about Phelan Hall but that he does hear a good deal of campus gossip. ... He pointed out that it is here the students disagree as to the amount and severity of actual regulations and regimentation. "He emphasized, however, that, "It is not a little police state .except for those who are childish themselves. To say that the article is a fair evaluation of the entire campus is untrue and if this is the case in Phelan Hall then it is lamentable." Dr. Milligan of the Psychology Department felt that Brill- hart's basic idea was a sound one but "the students should take over the responsibility for leadership and management for Commons marked for culture The Fine Arts movement con tinued to gather steam this week as members of the University administration promised that there would indeed be cultural facilities included in the Student Union building schema. In an interview Tuesday, Rev. John LoSchiavo, S.J., Dean of Students, attested to the faculty and administration's concern for the development of a Fine Arts sector on the Hilltop. At five o'clock each evening, beginning the fall of '66. the artistially minded student will find his Mecca in the Student Union building. There will be one centrally located room fully equipped with hi-fi and earphone apparatus, enabling the ''whole man" to assemble his musical knowledge and appreciation. In the multipurpose room, appropriately designed to accommodate many needs, there will be facilities for small concerts, lectures, and movies. Here we may invite noted artisans who could familiarize the Don with the theory of their aesthetic sense. It was also noted that there will be one of two rooms specifically reserved for art exhibits and displays. This will serve as the artist's workshops on campus, where new, and as yet obscure,talent may attest to its development, and a community bond between the artistic sectors of The City and the University may be established. Another topic noteworthy of consideration is a suggestion by Rev. James Dempsey, S.J. Since it is his belief that people who are surrounded by beauty will come to accept and appreciate it, he feels that students should be enveloped in an artistic environment. In his opinion, this aura of beauty and simplicity could be established by an effective utilization of partitions in the new Union. As these plans go into effect, a cultural contribution is being produced. With a new Student Union in 1966, a new atmosphere imbued with fine arts should encompass the campus necessitating the cultural development of very University student. themselves." He admitted, on the other hand, he didn't know what the vehicle for this transference of responsibility should be . He continued by characterizing the problem as "not administrative attitude or lack of interest but a break in communications. This is a part of the growing pains of the university." Milligan concluded by expressing hope that after completion of the Second Century physical plant, the general campus attitude will assume a somewhat more democratic outlook. Mr. Brillhart himself seemed a bit idealistically inclined when confronted regarding his article.

I believe Mr. Brillhart began to say something which could have been worth while. I believe he could have opened a fruitful discussion on a topic which concerns us all — the proper academic atmosphere of a university. But in the short space of two paragraphs Mr. Brill hart was no longer calmly discussing his views on a common problem; instead he was resorting to the use of labels and such emotionally charged phrases as "police state," "meanness," guilt by accusation," "suspicion," "injustice," "hypocrisy," and "stupidity" in speaking of University authorities and their actions. In support of such language he marshals much evidence; the imag- ings of some students regarding the two-way paging system in Phelan Hall; and unfounded nonsense about the priests and "authorities" in Phelan Hall who enter rooms without knocking, and who slyly prowl about looking for liquor and gambling. In view of such intemperate language, fruitful dialogue is hardly possible. The atmosphere is no longer friendly, enlightened, and permissive. What began as a worthwhile debate degenerated at its very start into an exercise in epithet-hurling. This is most regrettable. In view of this, the attitude of those who did not wish to comment immediately is also most understandable. Rev. John LoSchiavo, S.J. Dean of Students
