by Robert Parry and David Kraft Describing his decision as "mechanical, " Dean Mavrinac, last week, order- ed the closing of the Foss-Woodman firedoors. The firedoors divide Foss Hall, a women's dorm, from Woodman, a men's dorm. They have been opened spor- adically throughout first semester and have suffered considerable physical dam- age. Students expressed disappointment and occasionally anger at the door closings, but there were no indications that overt action against the doors was likely. Dean Mavrinac issued the order to close the doors, but he told the ECHO that he "really didn't have any choice in the matter. " His decision, he said, followed established policy and the trustee ruling on co-educational living. Last June the trustees approved a document which permitted a qualified form of dormitory autonomy but prohibited co-ed dorms. The trustees defined co- educational living as "men and women sharing the same dormitory. " We asked the dean if this ruling necessarily required that the Foss-Woodman firedoors be closed. Mr. Mavrinac was not certain but he believed that some time after the June trustee meeting and before his appointment in August, the ruling had been interpreted as meaning that locked doors between Foss and Woodman were necessary. We asked Mr. Rosenthal, Mavrinac » s predecessor , if such a decision had been made over the summer and he said , "I don 't remember a discussion about it at all. " " He told us that the policy of locked firedoors was set four years ago when the campus became "co-educational" and that he assumed the policy would remain the same "until the dormitories raised the issue. " President Strider could not be reached for comment. Dean Mavrinac told the ECHO last fall that the problem would probably come before Rights and Rules, which would send a recommendation to the President. Although the dorms voted overwhelmingly last fall to have the doors removed, the matter never came before the committee. Instead Foss-Woodman sent a request to the dean's office asking that the doors be opened. Citing the trustee decision against co-ed dorms, the deans turned the request down. The controversy over the firedoors seems to be part of a continuing struggle between the students and the administration over who will establish social regulations for the student population. The first m~jv .._ eruption in this conflict occured in the spring of '69 when students occu;u_-.i the Chapel and demanded that the administration and the trustees re -ionize the right of each living unit to make it's own regulations. In Juno, 1970 , the trustees responded to the Con 7 on pg . 9 by Susan Francis Colby's master plan for future devel opment, drawn up three years ago, contains proposal s for improving the academic s tandard s and physical plan of the College. The plan calls for a goal of approximately 2 million dollars for endowment of dis- tinguished professorships and scholarships of 4. 7 million dollars for renovation and new construction. Const ruction need s have been broken down into three major areas : the Arts, the Sciences, and Student Facilities. th e Spa. The plan for Arts and Sciences covers such obvious needs as construction of a new theater, an addition to Bixler for music and artu y.^id al terations of and additions to science buildings. The budget for student facilities would provide for new dorms , that went library alterations, and a centrally situated infirmary; al so; a new building con- taining a Spa, bookstore, and post office (SBPO) . This last proposal would cost $300, OOO 'out of the total allotment of $1, 790, 000 for Student Facilities. There are two views on the SBPO proposal : first, that the change would improve out in the efficiency and convenience of the Spa, bookstore, and mail system, and second , that the present set-up is adequate and capable of 'answering student needs. The two committees which will discuss the plan are the Financial Priorities Committee and the Architectural Committee. What the FPC would like to do is review the proposal tlie cold and make a decision before any money is donated or "tagged " for construction. Due to differing agendas, however, the proposal could possibly come initially before the Architectural Committee. If this happens, as one FPC member states, "The action we take Is going to depend on what the Architectural Committee does. " The rationale for building the SBPO as stated in "Th e Plan for Colby" is that the present services are a problem for students in that they "are temporary, scattered , and completely incapable of meeting demands. The constructive solution presented in the master plan would convert Roberts Union into a center for dining, meeting, and recreation, and would construct a new building to house the Spa, bookstore, and post office. " The location of the building would be on the Dana path near Lovejoy. To some administrators and students the reasons presented in the master plan are valid. The Spa takes up room in the library that could be used for. more stacks and some argue the necessity of a larger Spa. Also, the present mail system is an in- convenience, As one student commented, "When my parents send me an insured package I have to go all the way downtown to get it. " Proponents of the SBPO also maintain that the boodstore should be enlarged and more centrally located. Many students, however, question whether a new building is really needed or de- sired,, Since the plan was made three years ago, the bookstore has been enlarged, and if necessary further expansion is possible in Roberts. Most students are not unduly upset at the handling of the mails at the student unions. As long as the stu- dent population remains relatively stable (1500-1600 students) the size of the Spa is adequate. The anticipated departure of the English and Government departments from the library would provide .the needed room for stacks, thereby making removal of the Spa unnecessary. In fact, taking the Spa out of the library would deprive stu- dents of a convenient study break. Also, there are economic reasons for keeping the Spa in the library. John Joseph states, "The library Is where the traffic is. The majority of sales here are impulse sales and people aren't going to want to go ., , Con 't on pg , 9 essay Biting'
by Stuart Ross : "Going to college" makes a more profound change in one's life than the content of any course. Life style is the only thing learned, and the only thing taught, in the end. When I asked one of my more radical colleag- ues how he could rant against the system so much and still go over to Eustis each month and pick up his check , and if he did not think he was aiding the very system he sought to radically alter, he said no, because of the things he taught in his classes. I think that's terribly naive. (I might add that I was really asking myself these questions.) Picking up the old check says infinitely more to the students than anything he could say in class Working from within is an old euphemism for not be- ing willing to give up the rewards of the system and get out. The medium is the message. , The university probably hasn't changed in hundreds of years as a social institution. Life style has changed, but it's still what it always was: an elite middle-class finishing school, a repository and transmitter of the social and economic status quo. What matters most to those who administer and teach in American colleges is not opening minds but closing sections, not pursuing an idea, but showing the young initiate how to success- fully manipulate the strings of the culture. An idea pursued relentlessly might lead anywhere, but a course of study leads to a degree. Certified 100% social- ized. Why has a large minority of America's privileged col- lege-attending youth rejected the intellectual and acad- emic values represented by the university? What have the quiet halls of academe done to incur the wrath of students when the real enemy is out there somewhere? It is impossible for me, and I assume for many others, students and faculty, to separate my feelings about the State of America from my feelings about the state of higher education. The virus of anti-communism has become an international cancer in the grip of which we save and destroy governments at will, defoliate and depopulate whole regions of the earth, and kill by the thousands. With six percent of the world's population we consume more than one third of the world's resour- ces, and convert most of it into garbage and toxic sub- Loo k What They Done stances. We sacrifice ten million Americans to the god of the expanding economy, depersonalize them by re- ferring to them in percentages, begrudge them every measly dollar they get in help, and>-call them lazy. We contribute more in military aid to anti-communist dic- tatorships than to welfare. It would take less to feed every starving child in America than the taxpayers lose To My Brain, Ma! in one defense department debacle like the C-5A. There seems to be no doubt that we are incapable of dealing with the least of these problems. Congress sits atop the Oldest Continuous Democracy in the History of the World , a body of ego-tripping, mumbling old men un- able to enact any meanfingful reform because it will hurt some monied interest to which they are indebted.

- , by William P. Shumaker Last fall certain elements of Colby College turned their backs on Elijah Lovejoy and joined the mob that struck him down, attacking the local newspaper be- cause it "does not appear to reflect accurately the con- cerns or tastes of the community as a whole," Whipped into a self-righteou s frenzy by a couple of nude back- sides and a certain four-letter word , a small army of outraged parents, alumni and administrators threatened to disassociate the school from what our president has been pleased to call "the uncontrolled barbarism , with its obscenity, libel, and innuendo , of the campus press." One of the most unfortunate aspects of this depressing spectacle was that those engaged in this frantic waste of energy were so obsessed.with enforcing petty social taboos that they entirely overlooked the most pregnant phrase in all the allegedly objectionable material. That phrase is "Camp Kolby". The comforting thought that this expression is just another example of the sort of abuse spewed forth by ungrateful students who wish to call attention to themselves by railing at their elders is, unfortunately, self-indulgent and misleading. When students refer to Colby' as a camp, thoy are in fact saying that the college is not fu l filling it s function , that it is not really serious about giving them the best education it possible can. There arc several reasons why students entertain such doubts about Colby 's commitment to education , but the one I shall deal with here is that source of unending delight to student muckrakers, the matter of the col- lege's money. A student need not be at Colby for very long for him to question the5 cctlle'ge's financial priorities.

In the near future, the FPC will be considering the necessity of constructing a new building which would house the Spa , a post office, and the bookstore. It is our hope that the FPC,. will decide against this particular aspect of the "Plan for Colby". There is some justification forthe perennial rise in tuition fees when money is required for scholarships, faculty salaries and need- ed additions to the physical complex of the school. It is inexcus- able, however, for students to be expected to foot the bill for the maintenance of "Student Facilities" that are not wanted. For most students, the proposed building comes far down the list of impro- vements needed at Colby. Even the argument that the building is necessary to alleviate present inadequacies strikes out on all three counts. One, the bookstore has been enlarged within the last three years and there is room in Roberts Union for further expansion if needed. There have been few student complaints about the adequ- acy of the bookstore since this change. Two, though the present campus postal service is somewhat inconvenient, a simple over- haul of the system would seem to be more in order than the erec- tion of a new building. Three, the Spa is presently located in the most convenient place possible. Despite its location , Spa business has fallen off in the last couple of years and there is some question as to whether the Spa could financially survive on an island between Dana and Lovejoy. ¦ Colby stands in need of many improvements, and the "Plan _ for "LOSING THEIR HEADS OVER EXPANSION I. " Colby" is a laudable attempt to deal with some of the school's physical needs. This proposed new building, however, would be no more than another testament to the "growth" of Colby College , Dear Parry, and it is the kind of growth we can do - without.
