College administration's childishness
:l-lntellectuallsm   and
Aside   from   traits  of  totalitarianism,   a
tneptness, the current college administraUon also seems to have a
wondrous capacity for childishness. The latest example was the puerile performances turned In by Norman Baxter and James Flkes at
Monday's Executive Committee meeUng.
Appearing before the committee was Dr. Roger ChltUck, recently
deposed vice chairman of the English Department, who presented
memoranda and oral testimony pertaining tc messages sent and received by the English Department In an attempt to Improve relations
wllh the Baxter administration.
ChltUck told the committee letters had been sent to Baxter ft
the department asking for a meeting to discuss the *natu
present problems and ways in which we may work together I
clle or, at least, alleviate them.* According to ChltUck no reply to
these letters was received. The last letter sent to Baxter (one week
before the Infamous demotions of Dr. Eugene Zumwalt and ChltUck)
was answered by a brief phone call from Baxter to Zumwalt.  Baxter's
reply was negative on the request for a meeting, ChltUck said, because
he (Zumwalt) allegedly called former FSC President Karl Falk's wife
*a despicable woman". Baxter a-ssertedlysaldhe would not meet with
Zumwalt until he had apologized to her.
ChltUck then read a statement by Zumwalt denying he had Insulted
Falk's wife or made that statement. At that point In Chlttlck's presentation Flkes blurted out, 'That's a lie!*
After he concluded his testimony before the Executive Committee,
ChltUck began passing out copies of the statements and memoranda
to the various members. As he approached Baxter, Baxter began
shaking his head back and forth. Then looking at Zumwalt who had
been sltUng quietly throughout the meeting taking notes,Baxter said,
•Put lt down in your notes, Gene, that l won't accept this!*
Afterward Zumwalt said, *I think Dr. Baxter's outburst was si
Ing a

ed to participate In the discussion of this itei
when lt comes up on the agenda."
Both Flkes' and Baxters conduct IS Incredible. For men of su<
power and responsibility they certainly did not conduct themselv<
In a manner befitting their positions. Some observers present
the meeting said Baxter and Flkes were rude, discourteous and ol
noxious In conduct while Chittick was making his presentation.

administrators are supposed to set an example of reason and maturity. In light of Flkes' and Baxter's attack of Infantilism. Chlttlck's
allegations become more and more convincing.    —Burton Swope

To president Norman Baxter.
A.B., B.D., Ph.D.:
Because of your obedience to
evil and totalitarian men. I give
you the following statement from
a man who worked to undo the evil
done by men before him. It appears on page 54 of the Dec. 18,
1970. Life magazine.
■if you try to control your artists too tightly, there will be no
clashing of opinions, consequently no criticism, and consequently
no truth. There will be just a
gloomy   stereotype,  boring  and
free time for non-academic work.
In the process of preparing term
papers, speeches, etc., lt is no
longer necessary for the student
to Include footnotes, bibliographies, or give any such credit to
source material. This also allows the student to copy verbatim

may not publish that which he has

policy I
Mr. Walker must nave some
great hypnotic power, for he has
eliminated that thing called "conscience" among his fellow administrators,   most   notably Dr.
In the past, any student guilty
of taking another man's thoughts
and passing them off as his own
was known as a plagiarist, and
this resulted In, at least, being
flunked from the class. It very
likely would have led todlsmlssal
from the school. Even lfthestu-
dent shed a few tears and told his
Instructor, "Yes. I knew what I
was doing, but I was so busy at
the time, I forgot to Include credits to the author." Or: 'Well,
I went to the library, asked the
librarian for help, and he directed
me to a stack of books. The librarian said It would be okay to
use material from those books In
Or: *Gee, all I did
was type lt up word for word and
give It to you. But I didn't publish lt; therefore, I'm not guilty
of plagiarism." But have no fear,
fellow students! Phil Walkerhas
given us a test case to go by. If
you question this, refer to the
minutes of the Academic Senate
ig of Dec. 14. He denies
the charge because the legal
definition of plagiarism Includes,
the act of publication. But technically and ethically, he Is guilty.
He does not deny the act of giving
his pilfered speech—how can he?
It was tape recorded and was witnessed by many. He does state
that his "remarks" weren't published anywhere, In an attempt to
feign further Innocence. But, In
fact, he stole them from a periodical dealing with various
speeches. (Proof of the charges
is not the object of this letter.
The facts are a matter of record,
and In lact, Mr. Walker, as previously stated, does not deny the
charges, he only wishes to Justify
them.) In the same minutes of
the Academic Senate, Walker
states that "I did not consider
them (the remarks in/of the
speech) significant to save." It
so happens that I have been in
correspondence with the author
of the speech, ProfessorCharles
Griffin of the Vassar history
faculty. He Is aware that his
speech was plagiarized—for he
states that he gaveno permission
to anyone to use lt—and wishes
to be informed of the outcome of
the matter. That Is, if the plagiarist is duly rewarded for his
fine job of copying, or If plagiarism Is now being Ignored on the

(Continued from Page 1)
In a December 14, 1970, ad-
ate, Walker, now head of the
Division of Speech-Music, denied
plagiarism charges, stating that
as a member of the Inaugural
Committee he had requested assistance in preparing his speech.
Walker asserted that he had received a copy of the Griffin address and also permission louse
lt In his speech. Walker also
stated that many of the Involved
persons had full knowledge ofhis
use of the Vassar speech.    .
According to Short, Dr. Henry
Madden, FSC Librarian, whom
•Valkor says he consulted about
the use of the Vassar speech, denies granting Walker permission
or approval to allude to Griffin's

presented the original charge,

exercise their own resources.*
It further states the student Senate should direct the Legal Committee "to take Immediate-steps
n researching the methodology
In abolishing the board* and redirecting Its powers to the senate. The decisions of the Board
of Directors have been a sore
point with many senators in recent months. Theboardhas

Commenting im um resolution
endorsing the principle of State
Senate confirmation of appointments to the Board of Trustees,
Sherwood said, *lt is the Intention of this resolution to prevent
the stacking of one Ideology or
the Governor's administraUon
associates on the Board ofTrus-
tees. Many of the higher educational systems (Colorado, for ex-
amply) give the appointive power
to the governor, but give the confirming power to the state senate
to assure their citizens of no pol-
ltacal whims and thus their actions are affected by them. State
Senator Zenovlch has expressed
his desire that students be Involved in this area and to submit
their recommendations to the Educational Committee.*
The trustee's resolution apparently stems from recent discussion within the senate concerning Institutional reforms In
Ihe State College system.
In another resolution, Sherwood said the school structure of
FSC was reorganized during the
spring 1970 semester and the
current structure of the Student
Senate Is not in line with lt. The
resolution directs the Legal
Committee to restructure the
senate and the Student Court to
reapportion It on the basis of the
structure created by the Legal
Committee.
One of Sherwood's proposals
calls for a special referendum
election concerning the sale and
consumption of alcoholic beverages on campus. Sherwood said
he believes current campus rules

should be changed,
