Upcoming Events
The Student Center Board also announced the events which
it is sponsoring now, and in the
immediate future.
Artist Emmitt Williams is
presently showing his work at
the Student Center Art Callery.
His art will be on display here for
two weeks. In addition to painting, Williams writes poetry and
operatic works.
Tuesday evening, October 21,
the Student Center Board is sponsoring a forum on the sex revolution. The program begins at
7:30, with Dr. Burton Einstruch
of Dallas, Texas and Max Levin
of New York University as the
key speakers.
The Coffeehouse series will
begin at 8 p.m. both Friday
and Saturday nights and will end
at midnight. There will be an
open stage on which anyone is
welcome to be the performer. The
idea is to spread the artistry
around. In other words, "Co up
and do your own thing."

Why Some Prefer To Eat Alone

A Loner's View Of Campus Cafeterias
is in Georgia

By MAMLU DAUER
Kernel Staff Writer
What makes a good meal?
While everybody has his favorite menu, many definitions of
a good meal include a factor
unrelated to food good company. And while most students

him."

Chance For Quiet
Another logical reason from
a constant loner: "I am rushed
and don't have time to talk."
One rather contemplative young
coed eats alone because "it's a
time of quiet, which is hard to
find in a dorm situation."
A graduate student, who has
with students who eat alone rebeen at the University for a year,
veals tliat about half of them
would prefer to have company, eats almost all his meals alone
and that eating alone isn't the because he doesn't "have a close

While most will agree that
Even those who eat alone all
the time usually would prefer

schedule, or they just don't know

"Conversation is not a seasoning." Still, most people agree
with the coed who thinks "you're
more relaxed when sitting with
friends. You can enjoy the meal
more."
Would you rather dine with
someone else? Most loners who
were asked the question said yes.
One dissenter wouldn't mind
"dining with a
member of the opposite sex."
Another quite frank student
said, "I don't know anyone in

however: "I sat down; he said

Another said that sitting down
to eat with someone you don't
know "stifles everyone's enjoyment of that meal."
Suggestions for making meals
a more sociable time? Answers
ranged all the way from background music to candlelight and
wine.
In any event, the campus cafeteria, for most students a place
to catch up on the gossip of the
day, remains for some students,
whether by force or choice, "just
a place to grab a bite to eat."

Drug Proposal
Lessens Penalty

(AP)-T- he

Nixon administration proposed
today to reduce to a misdemeanor the crime of simple possession of narcotics and dangerous drugs, regardless of the drug

involved.
The offense is now a felony,
with consequent higher penalties.

Reversing a previous stand,

a more flexible penalty structure
is needed in order to "make the
punishment fit the person involved" and the crime.
More

Russell Seeks Education Change
By ELAINE TOMLIN
"Any person who attempts
to lay his hand on the future
runs a tremendous risk," Dr.
James Russell told the second
session of the Educational Lecture Series Monday.
In his discussion on "Educational Policy Formulation of
the Future," Dr. Russell, president of College on the Potomac,
pointed out that knowledge is
doubling every decade.
For a
student today, his knowledge has increased
four times since his birth; and by
the time he is 50 years old, it
will have increased 32 times, the
guest speaker said.
Different Questions
The increased knowledge, according to Russell, accumulated
by young people today, has re- -

Russell said.
Campus uprisings are related
to a general rebellion against authority, Dr. Russell claimed. He
based the assumption on his belief that authority represents "the
past and not the future."

tween narcotics users and traffickers.
He proposed several alternatives to legislation submitted last
July 15 by Atty. Cen. John N.

Mitchell.
In perhaps the most important
change, in all cases, possession with intent to sell will remain
a felony and "possession for one's
own use, regardless of the drug
involved," be made a misdemeanor.

Under present law, a first offense for simple possession of
either hard narcotics or marijuana calls for maximum penalties of a $20,000 fine and 2 to
10 years imprisonment.

The administration's alternate proposals would lower the
maximum fine to $5,000 and provide for a sentence of up to one
year imprisonment.
For second offenses, the maximum fine would go to $10,000
and the offender could be given
a sentence of up to 2 years,
compared to a 5 to 20 year term
under present law.
Ingersoll contended the flexible structure would induce prosecutors to initiate more cases
and make courts less reluctant
to sentence violators.
"All too often, because of the
present penalty structure," he
said, "there is a real hesitancy
on the part of prosecutors in
courts to handle possession cases
because of the potential high
penalties involved.

New Philosophy Needed

He predicted the student will

Forced Writer?
It's nice to know that our contrapuntal
conservative, Mr. White, writes his stuff
because he has to, for one hour's credit.
This means that we no longer need take
notice of his column he probably doesn't
believe what he writes himself. What I
would like to know is this: why does the
Kernel editor allow such prostitution of the
Kernel?

Last year's editor strongly denied that
the Kernel was a training ground for
journalists how about this year?
How many others like Mr. White are
there, whose writings I must now regard
as nothing more than homework, and
therefore of no interest to mc?

Is Really Musical Genius

Mantovanl is not magic.

day night after the Maestro's
concert would have said that

who know his music are quick
to testify-a- nd
at certain points
when he most needs his brass
and reed sections, he turns his
back on them, both literally and
figuratively.
Died Stringy Death
This neglect was apparent in
his
'Trolley Song,"
which lilted along with the violins, and finally died a stringy
death, while the brass twiddled
their collective thumbs. So much
for Judy Carland's wildly Joyful
anthem.
The thing is Mantovani often
fails to culminate, to bring the
emotion of a song to a head
and fling it out from the stage.
In his version of "If I Were A
Rich Man," the melody came
through flawlessly in the middle. But the ending wound up
a mishmash of tuning up,
type tones, and ta
daaaah it died, too.
Let's face it. Smooth, flowing, melodic numbers are Monty's
bag. His performances of waltzes
by Strauss and Al Dub in, and
especially the memorable "S moke
Gets In Your Eyes," more than
compensated for any attempts
toned-dow-

Mantovani is skill.
As he led his virtuosic orchestra through the pleading strains
of "Those Were The Days," and
as he drew out the flowing
of Percy Faith's theme
from "The Virginian," from his
capable brass section, Mantovani
demonstrated his ingenuity perhaps genius at arranging and
adapting orchestral music.

All this aside, for those who
don't know a whale of a lot

is a very happy medium.
But mediums are magic, and
Mantovani is skill.
