letters to the editor

KHODA: Too Many Chiefs Yet Still No Leadership Few of the student body are informed about what Khoda is supposed to do or even about what Khoda has done for the student body duril)g the past year. Khoda has o ften been referred to as " t hat secret senior honor society." Th is need for secrecy is a myth perpetuated by members of Khoda themselves and is nowhere stated in their consti t ut ion .

THE STUTE approached Maureen Bu rke , president of Khoda, and asked whether Khoda would be willing to submit an article which would point out some of the t h in g s whi ch the organization had done this year. This suggestion was rejected . When asked to identify the newly initiated members for the Khoda class of 1979 , Maureen Burke indicated that th is would not be possible since some of them did not wish to be identified at the time. This is completely contrary to Kohoda' motto which , as stated in their constituion is " leadership." How can any organization practice leadership if the " leaders" are unknown . Just as a business cannot function under absentee ownership, neither can Khoda . Therefore, THE STUTE feels that the preserit members and newly elected members should be named .

Those who led Khoda this year are: Maureen Burke, Ed Mansky, Ron Hosie, Jim Weatherall , Caron Kogan , Anne Nevola and Mike Antieri. The Khoda class of 1979 consists of Mary Lemanowicz, Tom Pallilonis, Mi ke M organ , Skip Farrell , Lou Biondo, Dean Constantine, John Dearborn , and John Mulani.

The present internal strength of Khoda is weak . Ed Mansky resigned from the organization because of conflicts with other members. The reason why he was elected into Khoda (or why anyone is elected into Khoda) is so that he could offer his own opinion and views even if they ran contrary to those of other members. Yet his own opin ion and views ev en if they ran contrary to those of other members. Yet this w as not acceptable to some of Khodaand Ed Mansky fe lt itwou ld be best for him to resign . Later he was asked to consider his res ignation , but he chose to stay w ith his initial decision .

The background and qualifications of ne xt year's Kh oda class requires some examination. Initia lly only six members were elected . Of these si x, five are all from the same fraternity . Which fraternity they are from is insignificant. The point is that these people are not representative of t he different groups on campus. The o ther two members were elected only later to bring some semblance of balance to the newl y elected group.

Du ring th e ele c t ions for new members, a s it ua t io n somewhat simi lar t o Ed Mansky 's befell Ron Ho sie . In an attempt to elect a person w h o was of Kh o da ca lib re , nam el y Steve Br ed a, Ron refused to continue voti ng for o t her nominees u nt il Steve Breda had been electe d. In response to thi s, Jim Weath erall made th e motion t o sus pe nd Ron Ho si e Inv\''t!Vo' '.:Ji7tUi'11it:\ tI1JH':1.?'i'ti('n f\,'"lJWh'Oprmcm'<l1 ta ~ ttHM,!v an if they ran contrary to those of other members.

Dear Editor: I am outraged ! I th in k Professor Potter rates better than page three . I also don 't th in k that it shou ld have taken five weeks to get into the paper whil e that soc ial abort ion "Boken" got almost same day cov erag e.

The entire class of '78 has put up wi th this rag for fou r ye ars and the qua lit y (if you can call it

that) has remained the same. In four years there ha sn 't been an edit or with the guts to make the paper interesting. The paper has consistantl y held "faculty" opinions and carefully avoided the unpopular view of anything controversial. Admittedl y this is how you insure your STUCO allotments each year, but frankly many feel the money is wasted. This is supposed to be a student newspaper and should reflect the views and deeds of the Stevens community. The emphasis should be on the stud ents first and then if there is ro om use the messages from the administrati on to fill in the holes .

The student paper should be some th ing the students respect and abo ve all reap. Check out the garbage can by the Post Office some Frida y afternoo on .

With ou t an effecti ve newspaper the students lack a med ium for exchange of thou ght. With out thi s it is no t surprising that the student s here lack a feeling of communi ty. " they do not feel li ke the y are a part of something , Stevens will never be more to them than a place to go fi ve days a week. Student apath y is oft en bla med on the stude nts . Stude nts as indi vidu als can't help but be apat het ic. As a grou p with som e int ercom municatio n (u sually i n the for m of a newspaper) th is is rarely the case. Students wo uld no . in '''·''''' ''''' in ."'i n r...· if ."'0" the garbage can by the Post Office some Friday afternooon .

Without an effective newspaper the students lack a medium for exchange of thought. Without this it is not surprising that the students here lack a feeling of community. " they do not feel like they are a part of something , Stevens will never be more to them than a plac e to go fi ve days a week. Student apath y is ofte n blamed on the stude nts . St udents as individuals can't help but be apathetic. As a gro up with som e intercommun icati on (usuall y in the form of a newspape r) this is rarel y the case. Students would get involved in th ings if they were info rmed and felt like t hey ought to get involved in something and do it thei r way , not how so me blowhard in an off ice thinks it shoul d be done.

The St eve ns Comm u ni ty belo ngs to the stu dents, the faculty just run s the place. If thi s sounds funn y to you: perhap s you had better think about it .for a min ute .

As the student paper it is your job to motivate the students to care about campus activities, or there will be none. This involves more than putting fine print in a little box on page 5. The paper must become a leader of the student body while still being a tall ower . A paper that responds to the needs and opinions of the students will be read by the students. A paperthatfights for the students will be respected by the students.

This is the only ....; ........."-..0.. ... ,ft_ ._ _

~~_~~L '

So, I am wri ting you hoping st udent s, I think you 'lifind them more than willing to fight for that you may be of aid to me in my search for someone who is you.

Believe it or not, this could be will in g to wr ite me. Th is ex, chang e of ideas will help me to a great paper. prepare myself for release in the Sincerely yours, co mi ng tw o years from now . So Craig Cooksey '78, Kevin J. if you can pla ce this lett er in D elm o u r '7 8, J o h n S . you r ca mpus newspaper you r Magnu sson '78, M.A. Zboray, help wi ll be most welcome.. ..

IEEE Sponsors Field Trip

by Bogdan Korszen '79 On Wednesday, May 3rd, Stevens branch of I.E.E.E. sponsored a field trip to Sell Labs in Whippany, NJ. There were 25 people signed up originally, but with all the quizzes coming up, many students changed their minds.

and finally a question-andanswer session ended this fulfilling day . The only regret was that more juniors (especially those in the market for summer jobs) didn't get to see this company up close. In closing, I would like to thank Steve Huettner for making this trip a success and Dr. Efe for coming

All of this notwithstanding, a faculty of experts who cannot

reasonably well until several fights erupted, the majority of them involvinq "urchins" from Hoboken. The party was interupted by a Hoboken police car careening through the parking lot gate and back out onto the street.

Even after the trouble at the mixer held in the Field House during Soken, at which there were several more fights involving "urchins" and members of the student body,

teach or who have no interest in teaching and the development of young minds serves only itself. Students have every right to expect that their professors are interested in teaching them and that they constantly strive to make the hours spent in the classroom and laboratory valuable learning experiences.

While faculty research is obviously necessary, it is by no means sufficient. Education is our principal objective and professors who have no personal commitment to teaching have no place at Stevens.

Our objective is to have 1. The Stevens ' ed ucat ional programs and their internal execution carried out by our faculty with competence and effecti veness and 2. the outside world , which employs Stevens graduates or accepts them for further professional training , view Stevens as an institution with a faculty of distinguished experts who set high standards for the curriculum and vigilantly guard the high quality of the Stevens degree . If we are successful in attaining both these objectives, not only: will Stevens students' educational experience be intrinsically valuable but a Stevens degree will continue to be regarded as a mark of high achievement that provides above-average access to employment opportunities orto further first-rate professional study.

To meet the need, we strive to hire faculty members who are either recognized experts in their field or young recent Ph.Ds who show evidence of having the potential to develop into recognized experts.

ROTC Awards The last Award Luncheon for the 495th AFROYTC Squadron was held this past Wednesday.

The following groups came to give awards to cadets for outstanding achievement in academics, leadership and soial awareness. The American Legion, Daughters of the American Revolution , Air Force Association, New Jersey Reseve Officers, Sons of

full Professors. Recent Ph.Ds are taken on to our faculty usually after they have had a year or more experience Iollowinq the award of the Ph.D . However, very promising young people are sometimes taken on as Assistant Professors immediately follOWing graduation if they have been trained in fields which we are particulary anxious to strengthen immediately. They are appointed for one or two years at a time .

Renewal of appointment and promotion to higher rank depend upon both their ability to teach and their continued development as experts recognized outside of Stevens .

These criteria apply to all faculty members, whether they have received their education at Stevens or elsewhere .

Judgments are made each year on every faculty member, based on all information available regarding how well both of these criteria are being satisfied. Exactly equal performance in both is not essential but serious shortcomings in either can ultimately lead to a decision not to reappoint , promote or award tenure. The Institute feels an obligation to give every faculty member opportunities for and resources to enable him or her to demonstrate com petence both as a teacher and as an expert.

The award of a research contract is not and never has been an absolute requirement for reappointment or promotion.

Neither United States citizenship nor sex nor any ethnic, racial or religious factors have any bearing on appointments or promotions if the basic criteria I have cited are met.

Any questions concerning th is new policy should be directed to the chairman of the Honor Board, Steve B reda, Bo x 86.

The Honor System has been in existance at Stevens for seventy years, its strength lyi ng sole ly wit h the students and fac ulty .

The Hon or Board has worked hard over the past academic year to fo ste r this st rength.

(T here was one trial earlier this se mester) required at least six IC meetings.

Final disposition of all cases is handled by the decis ion of the full sixteen member board and marks the end of an i nvesti gation. Penalt ies for Honor System violations this past year ranged from failures in a course to letters of repri mand . Five of the nineteen cases were dropped due to insufficient evidence. T he fulfillment of the Ho no r B o a rd ' s jUdicial obli gati ons has take n an average of 43 hou rs (almost two entire days) of the ti me fr om each member of the Honor Board .

Scorsese conducted j nter~ views with the members of The Band (Robbie Roberson , Rick Danko, Levan Helm , Garth HUdson , and Richard Manu el) and has used the interviews to break up the ' concert into

segments. Inm ost cases, the interv iew is a preface to the next num ber. One example is dur ing t he intervie w with Robertson, Rob ertso n says they are ti red of being on the road and that they want to explor e some indivi dual projects. T he fil m .then cut s to the co ncert and Th e Band plays "Stagefright," a song abou t a performer who doesn't want to keep perfo rming .

To help the Band turn their farewe ll co ncert into a "celebratio n," in Rob ertson 's words , are so me of their friends , Bob Dylan , J on i Mit chell , Neii Young , Emmy Lou Harris, Van Morri son , Eric Clapton , Neil Diamond , Ronnie Hawkin s, Or. J ohn, Paul Bullerfield , Ron Wood , MUddy Waters , The Stapl es, and Ringo Starr. All of these artists come out for a nu m be r, w ith Th e Ban d pro viding backup instrumental s, and vocals . T here are some parti cu larlyenergetic .moments during these gu est sports, and th e aud ience can feel that both the guest art ist and The Band are having a great t ime. One

such moment is when Neil Young joi ns Rob ertson and Ric k Danko at the same time to ha rmo nize o n " Hel pl ess."

Another such moment co mes with Cla pto n and Rob ertson trad ing off ieads on "Furt her on Down the Road."

T he quality of the sound trac k on the film is another reason that "The Last Waltz " is more t han a documentary. The sound was mixed on a 24 c hannel board, down to 4 tracks, and th en record ed in Dolb y Stereo .

The fil m begin s wi th the words " Play it loud " on the screen, and even lou d, the sound is clear and c risp.

Th e phot og raphy is excellen t.

Between the camera work and sound recording , yo u feel almo st like you are in Win terland .

"The Last Waltz " is a must for fol lowers of The Band . Even if yo u are only familiar with such tun es as "T he Weight " or "The Night The y Dro ve Old Dixie Down," I feel you'll find the film a happy exp erience.

Lets also look more closely into what Khoda has don e this year. Considering the size of their Stu Co allotment (1400) quite a bit of leadership should have resulted. What was this money used for? What benefits has the student body received? Khoda played a large role in getting Boken '78 off t he ground. Th is may be a commendable thing to do , but it is really the job of STUCO. Concerning Dr . Efe's pres ent situation , Khoda is supposed to be "approaching the issue ."

The only thing that Khoda has openly tak en credit fo r this year is t he formation of the security committee. Yet , up till now, nothing of significance has resulted from this committee either.

The spring has been a major d isappointment as bo th baseball and lacrosse were loo king up at over .500 seasons in February. The Ducks are 5-6 on the diamond and 4-7 on the lacrosse field . As ex pected, AI Marra, in lac rosse , and Bob Torre , in baseball , have been the main men. Tennis has been the BIG surprise at 5-4. Dave Kennedy has been the big man on th e courts.

Still it has been a fine year for Stevens Sports. With the great crop of freshman and sophomore athletes beginning to mature the future looks bright for nest year if some key senior stars can be replaced .

The reluctance of Khoda to report on its activities is due to the fact that nothing of importance has happened. It has degenerated into another ineffective, honorary society whose members are infatuated with their self importance yet produce no results. This need not be so. Let us hope that the Khoda class of 1979 understands the importance of their position and does uphold the motto of leadership in the future.
