Siena faculty, though not your ordinary man, this man made national headlines because of his imprisonment by the Chinese Reds for 4 years and 2 months. He was. a rector of the Catholic University of Peking and was confined because he had refused to comply with the communistic terms imposed on him. He published a book entitled Four Years in Red Hell, telling of his plight. He presented a copy to the Siena Library, so if you are interested in reading some vivid non-fiction this is highly recommended. Speaking of the library, did you know that in 1956 the college library contained only 58,440 books as opposed to the now 200,000 volumes. A poll was conducted in 1956 to ask students what they were going to do over their Easter vacation. The answers received pointed out that students are students no matter what the year. Among the responses were things such as "I ate my little brother's easter eggs," "I finished my term papers," (this is not a very popular answer to any student), "the three D's -drinking, dining and dancing," and "My friends tell me I had a very good time in New York."

Empire Limousine Service Funeral Tributes Two weeks ago, the Massachusetts Unique Luxury in Upstate Region Commission Against Discrimination, upon Concerts 459-LIMO 635 New Loudon Rd. (Bayberry Square) investigating racial incidents at the U. of Theatres Latham, New York 12110 Mass„ Amherst, called for administrators Parents to start more programs promoting "racial All Occasions! (518) 783-5573 understanding." The commission was reacting to an incident in which a group of white students chased and beat a smaller group of black students. Earlier that day, a white football player had been injured in a fight with a black student. The University of Michigan, meanwhile, pulled a student disk jockey off the air at the campus radio station when the student told anti-black jokes. And a panel organized by The Citadel to look into a much-publicized racial hazing incident at the South Carolina military college last fall recommended last week that the band not play "Dixie" at football games, and that The Citadel appoint blacks to disciplinary boards. At the same time, Baylor's president said progress fn race relations at the school was unsatisfactory, and that extra curricular activities especially could benefit from integration. At the U. of California, Santa Barbara, many recent incidents have sparked protest marches on campus. Mark Armstrong, at UCSB's Equal Opportunity Program, says students have been arrested for no reason other than race. He quotes former Chancellor Robert A. iflllSK: Huttenback as saying UCSB couldn't get coordinated black athletes for its basketball team and that the school is " 'getting less bang for the buck.'" UCSB students marched last week and asked trustees to select a chancellor sensitive to minority concerns. "There is no doubt in my mind that the number of racial incidents is increasing,". says Frederick Hurst of the Massachusetts commission that probed the race climate at U. Mass. Hurst attributes it to "an attitude around the country that makes people who are not well-meaning believe they can manifest racial feelings in negative behavior." But University of Michigan Prof. Rey nolds Farley, author of "Blacks and Whites: Narrowing the Gap," isn't sure there are more racial incidents. "It could very well be that we're more sensitive to these incidents, lt may be that the frequency of these incidents hasn't changed, but that the reporting of them has." UCLA's recent incident involved a THIS WKS ' cartoon that implied even a rooster could get into UCLA under affirmative action rules. The Bruin's art director said he did not understand the full implications of the cartoon, and Editor Ron Bell says he did not see it before it ran. FOR YOU.
