"Up until now," Ms. Spitz noted, "students attending Maine colleges have routinely been denied their constitutional right to register and to vote in their campus communities. In the 1972 Presidential election, many students across Maine were unable to vote because local officials refused to register them. And, as recently as February of this year, students attending Colby, UMO and Ricker College were Stand still being denied these rights." "In the past there has been a presumption that College students were not residents of their Up college communities. Jn order to overcome this presumption students have had to prove their intent to remain permanently in their college and community after graduation , prove they paid property taxes and show other things which Be Coun ted non-students were never asked to prove.

Some of the students at Colby have had bad times at some point in their four years here and to circle the "F"s received is another indica- tion of the snobbery and carelessness of the administrative set-up. Are we really so infantile as to necessitate gold stars and red "F"s on our report cards? This might not seem so terribly momentous, but it is rather, a more specific example of the workings of the administration. Callousness has becom e the hall- mark of the Colby College policy makers. The antics of (it is time to name names) Dr. Strider, Dean Jenson, and Vice-President Pullen are saddening in their thoughtlessness and carelessness.

Mem ories flooded my textbook-boggled mind and the resurgence of springtime only made me think of the sunny days and wine-drenched nights in the Bairro Alto of Lisbon. Perhaps I'll write a book and entitle it, "Memories of Hangovers Past." This is really not intended as a "political perspective" per se. Rather, it is a subjective account of my reactions to Portuguese political problem s and the parti- cular dilemmas facing a country of little m oney and big aspirations. The story of Portugal is, indeed , a sad and bewildering one. Portugal is a country that definitely appeals to romantics. While its neighbor, Spain , revels in the blood and guts symbolism of the bullfight and the flamenco, Portugal's mysticism lies in its mellowness, its rolling hills in the south and its stark m ountain ranges in the north; in short, its diversity of topography and the warm hospitality of its sentimental, simple people. To equate Spain and Portugal as one and the same is a common error (it is surprising just how many people really believe Portugal to be a province of the Spanish territory!)— the Portuguese themselves forgive a tourist's assumption that all the Portuguese speak Spanish . But, they are intensely proud of their Practic ing past and this is the main stumbling-block in the way of Portugal's affirmation of European im- portance in light of the goings on of the Common Diplomacy Market and the various other European trade Carlos Gavilanes agreements. Portuguese fascination with the past "' Colby with a fjve-member delegation performed is understandable, considering the remarkable brilliantly at the annual Harvard University National minds and ingenuity of the explorers of the world Model United Nations which took place at the during the 15th and 16th centuries.

Mrs. Woshinsky said that classroom and per- sonal encounters with students were very enjoy- able, and she called Colby "a rewarding place to teach." Commenting on certain administrative policies, Mrs. Woshinsky said that although there seems to be no particular discrimination against women, there is also not an attempt to "dis- criminate in their favor." Plans for next year are uncertain , although she would like to teach somewhere in the Portland area.

Money Talks Without money, PIRG cannot continue to operate—a simple economic fact. By the end of the summer PIRG ought to be experiencing a rather debilitating pinch. This has not resulted from mis- management of funds, but simply from not enough funds. The fact that Colby as a participating college has contributed nothing this last semester is part of the problem. To help ease this financial crunch , Colby stu- den ts are actively soliciting donations from stu- dents, faculty and administrators, A goal of $800 has been set. Almost half of this has already been met. The success of this fund raising drive may have a significant influence on the outsome of PIRG's future at Colby. Any assessment of fund rasing capabili t ies at Colby, ascertainable through our present experience, may affect a final appeal to the Board of Turstees in June. PIRG has constantly been at work (see the Student Voting Rights article in this issue), even though all of our projects do not m ake t he head lines. Many projec ts arc still being worked on. And, the important things, however, is that they are being worked on, hopefully to fruitful ends. Without, money, however, this process stops. Four dollars has been the suggested donation but, of course, anything would be appreciated . PIRG prople will be in the Spa tonight. We can also be reached by mail at Box 881 Roberts.

Colby College has 236 alumni interviewers who live throughout the country. The purpose of the alumni interviewer program at Colby is to identify and to attract outstanding students to Colby, to provide information about Colby to those students and to provide Colby with additional information about its applicants. Only about five percent of the Colby alumni interviewers have graduated since 1967. Next year's applicants will be the Class of 1979. Consequently, the vast majority of interviewers are trying to convey to possible applicants a social and academic picture of Colby which they have never really A experience. Those -.alumni interested enough to be interviewers usually are as.up-to-date about Colby College as all possible reading material Decade and occasional visits to the college allow them to be. However, I feel that it is important and for younger alumni to become involved in the interviewing process. A Half Probably all Colby alumni at some point in Rebecca Littleton post-graduate life, consciously or unconsciously, suggest to a secondary school student the Robert E.

Dear Editors:

The Stu-G re-organization welcomed your support of the proposed Student Association Constitution in last week's editorial. On Friday, May 10 a constitutional referendum will be held on this issue and we seek the support of the student body as well. A constitutional referendum must pass by a two-third s majority with one-quarter of the student body voting. The committee has also decided to have a second question on the ballot which will deal with the question of new elections. Though the committee decided early off that new elections Un- should be held since the Student Association is entirely new and the offices described are Breakable significantly different than the present Stu-G offices, we felt that the final decision should, in keeping with goals of the new constitution, be m ade by the Bubble Student Body. We also felt that new elections would be much more in keeping with the institution of a new constitution, and that people who wanted nothing to do with Stu-G would perhaps Third Experiment Individuals are surrounded by a personal be very much interested in running for an office spa ce of 5.2 square feet in are a and oval in in the new Student Association. shape.

Tomorrow night at 7:30, Jacques Rivette 's "Kafkaesque" Paris Belongs to Us is the feature, to be shown with Jordan Belson 's World. Cries and Whispers will be shown this Sunday, May 5, at 7:00 and at 9:30 (admission is $1.00 due to the film's very high rental cost.) Finally, Ri chard Myers' tour-de-force Akran,will have free screenings Tuesday, May 7 at 9:30 and again next Saturday, May 11 at 3:00 in the afternoon. Called "One of the cinema's nearest equiva- lents to Kafka" by Sight and Sound and "A dis- turbing vision of life in an age of anxiety , of the neurosis that feeds on its own fears" by Penelope Houston, Paris Belongs to Us concerns itself, as does the writing of Thomas Pynchon, with con- spiracy and paranoia. The protagonists in the film believe they have discovered a world-wide con- spiracy against artists. "The characters are all concert in a light-hearted note; it only lacked a couple tragic puppets," says Rivette, "taking them selves waltzing in the aisles. too seriously, living in a sort of dream world and The last half of the concert included two disheartened by the real world which they cannot ARRIVIDERCI major works: Bach's E Major Violin Concerta, and reform."
