Conference Held At Brockport The State University of New York Student Government Ass'n. held a conference recently at the Fancher campus of Brockport. The topic was \Student Freedom And Responsibility.\ Mrs. Deane Goodness, Francis Costanzo, Dean Finnegan and I represented Jefferson Community College. Highlight of the conference was the speech by President Gould on \State University: Questions and Comments.\ The President of S.U.N.Y...stated that students should have more freedom and authority on campus and should be in on decisions, but that stu- dents should go through channels to gain these rights. Dr. Sidney Hook, head of the Department of Philosophy of New York University, spoke on \Stu- dent Freedom and Respon- sibility.\ The next speakers were Dr. Kenneth Young, President of the college at Cortland, Ralph Keyes, Community Manager, Antioch College, and Ann McGovern.Stu- dent President, State University of New lork at Binghamton. They told of \College Student Govern- ments In Action,\ Ralph Keyes discoursed on the ways students can obtain the responsibilities they want. He urged that the stu- dent start with channels, pro- gressing to more direct ways if he gets no results from ordin- ary channels, and referred to demonstrations as a last resort. Dr. Ernest L. Boyer, Execu- tive Dean for University - Wide Programs, spoke to us on \State University: A Look at its Or- ganization\ and later we learned of \Student Efforts in State-Wide Cooperation\ by Jay Silverman, President of C.I.S.G.A. and Alan Latona, President of Con- federated Student Governments. James H. Robertson discussed \Bigness and Quality in Educa- tion\ and \The Meaning of Com- munity\ was expressed by Dr. William R. Butler. After each lecture we split into small dis- cussion groups to talk about the speaker and the problems of our own colleges in relation to the discussion. In preparation for this con- ference, delegates were asked to read BEYOND BERKLEY, A SOURCEBOOK IN STUDENT VALUES, by Christopher G. Ka- tope and Paul G. Zolbrod. Many references were made to this book by the speakers. It seemed to be in the minds of many of the speakers that it would be pos- sible for a demonstration such as Berkeley to happen at any of the campuses ofSUNY. The main idea presented was that the student should have more freedom and in- fluence on campus and that the Central Administration of SUNY is willing to give this to the stu- dent. But, it was emphazisedthat it must come through channels and that we the students must show responsibility before we are given authority. This is true for 4-year colleges and the state uni- versity centers. The problem of community col- lets is twofold: not only must we gain authority from the cen- tral administration of SUNY but we must receive permission from the Board of Trustees of the Col- lege. It is the Board which has final say on almost anything done on campus. A point which was brought out by a student at this conference was that we can get these changes but it will take time — not two weeks, two months, or even two years, but twenty or thirty years. The meeting was ended by a forum which discussed the for- mation of an organization to com- municate directly with President Gould. After a two-hour discus- sion, no definite plans had been made, but the consensus was that . another meeting of the same sort should be held to set up an or- ganization that could inform President Gould of student prob- lems. Last week a giant girder was lifted into place in the student center building now under construction. The two gentlemen in the lower left- hand corner of the building were among the seven or eight repre- sentatives of the architect's and engineer's offices who were on hand to take pictures of the event. This photograph was taken by President McVean.
