"The New Generation
Versus The Rot Race" On January 25th, Thursday,
at 11 a.m. in the Little Theater,
Alan Dale - former pop singer,
now writer and grass roots phil-osopher,
author of "The Spider
and The Marionettes*' and his
most recent "Anatomy of a Re-bellion",
will discuss The new
generatiai (hey, thats us) versus
the rat race. He will cover his
theory on Philosophical Morality,
"a way of life wiiich shall allay
and adjoin all those Americans
who object to the dogma of the
so-called Rat Race and its breed
of men who npw hold as invio-late,
and impose on all others, the
creed that Ethics, Honor, In-tegrity
and Idealism have noplace
in our society; that breed of men
who indoctrinate our youth to be-lieve
that our Scheme of Things is
and must remain "dog-eat-dog",
you can't buck the system, you
can't be an idealist in a realistic
and practical Society, you nnist
play the game like everybody
else, you must face reality."
Mr. Dale has written two books
which indicate the Rat Race of the
Establishment. His unique, blis-tering
accusations during his one
appearance on the Alan Burke TV
show in August of 1967 brought
such an unprecedented mail re-sponse
that the show was played
three times in two months and
started a philosophical move-ment.
For many years the name Alan
Dale was a household word as a
top singing star. He was idolized
by teen-agers. He was number
one in popularity polls. The maj-or
night clubs and theatres head-lined
him at fabulous salaries.
He had his own TV shows, his
own radio shows, hit records.
Suddenly everything stopped.
He entertained, now and then,
only in neighborhood clubs. The

"Big Tim?" was closed to Alan
Dale. Many people wondered why.
Ha wrote his first book. It was
an autobiography called "THE
SPIDER AND THE MARIONET-TES"
which told of his personal
disillusionment and disenchant-ment
with the price of stardDm„
It recounted the violent and re-bellious
career of a top enter-tainer
who would no longer sell
out and pla/the game in order
to remain at the top - and the
shocking consetjiences of his
choice. •
Alan Dale comes to the Campus
on Thursday morning, gratis. He
would take no money and "only
wants to present his new phil-osophical
morality," so that a
new race of Idealists may some
day take the reins of power in
our country."
Newman Club Holds
^ Needy'Christmas Party
Members of the Newman Com-munity
at the State University
at Farmingdale, in co-operation
with the Farmingdale Youth
Board, helped the children of the
Youth Board experience the joys
and happiness of the Christmas
season through the pre-Christ-mas
party that was held on the
college campus. Miss Sue Mundy
of the Newman Community, un-der
the direction of Mr. Robert
Nadel, the coordinator of the
Youth Board, planned the after-noon
for the 35 children who at-tended
along with their Big Bro-tiiers
and Big Sisters. The plan-ning
became a reality throu^ the
efforts of D(Hina Vamey, Ken
and Dorothy Raffaele, Florence
Schmura, Eileen Berringer, Vir-ginia
Mauer, Pete Brown, and
Harry Jergens. After a couple
hours of playing games and de-vouring
refreshments, the chil-dren
welcomed the hero of the af-ternoon,
Santa Claus who had
gifts for all of them.
A few years back, the Newman
Community sponsored a summer-time
picnic for the children
served by the Youth Board. Rev.
Ronald Luka, C.M.F., the chap-lain
of the Newman Communily
expressed the hope that such
service activities would become
at least a monthly activity of the
Community. He feels that,
'^Service to those in need is a
basic element of the religious
formation of the college student.**
Miss Mundy has generously
agreed to coordinate student ef-forts
in this direction during the
coming semester.

On Thursday January 11th,
close to 300 people who signed
up for the Winter Carnival met
for a Carnival Rally, in Roose-velt
Hall. Bemie Jacobs, chair-man
of the committee Introduced
Fred Cook, president of the Stud-ent
Senate, Mr. Cook stated that
the Winter Carnival would be a
kickoff for many upcoming ac-tivities,
sponsored by the student
senate. Fred Cook then intro-duced
Professor Irving Levine,
facilty advisor of the Winter
Carnival.
Professor Levine thanked
Bemie Jacobs and Warren Adler
for working so hard on the trip.
He then praised the Winter Carn-ival
Committee, which for the
first time consisted of approxi-matly
60 persons. Booklets were
distributed telling people about
the trip and what to expect.
Professor Levine stated since
no tests are scheduled for Fri-day
busses will now leave at 12
noon rather than the 4:00 time or-iginally
set. He then introduced
the chaperones, Mr. Nealson and
Dean Walsh. Bemie Jacobs,
Warren Adler, Roy Ferri and
Rich Lindig wUl officiate as Jud-
Narcos on Campus?
The answer seems to be-coming
increasingly clear. Last
year narcotics agents posing as
students lived among the students
at nearby South Hampton College.
As the results of their under-cover
work several students were
arrested on narcotics charges. At
the time of the raicJSuffolk County
Police reported that at least 50f%-
of the students at South Hampton
had at least tried marijuana.
More recently police made a
pre-dawn "gestapo" type raid on
some of the dorms at the State
University at Stony Brook. The
raid was the results of several
months investigation in which
police, posing as "college drop-ins",
compiled evidence with
which to justify their raid.
Which campus will be next? It
could be ours!

Political Scionce Club S^^thfliiemte^fofle"^ . for attainment of this recognition Debates Racial Strife
I t.
Kids »Romp It Up* Curtesy Of The Newman Club
By Ron Jockens
Thursday, December 11, dur-ing
the activity hour, in the base-ment
of Whitman Hall, a debate,
sponsored by the Political Science
Club, took place.
The subject of the debate was
on the "racial situation" in the
South. All the participants in -the
debate were from, or very famil-iar
with the South.
The students that participated
in the debate were E. May, P.
Manliey, and E. Hill, L. Thompt-son.,
The debate centered on the
issuie—Does the Northem Negro
face' equivalent difficulties as the
Southem Negro? "Many people
of the North feel that the Negroes
who live here have far lessprb-lems
than those that live in the
South." *'It seems that in the
South, the Negro is discriminated
against openly, while farther
North its subtler, like real estate
operators selling only to whites."
In the South, a "White" person
would tell a "Black" person I
won't hire you for the job because
you're "Black," but in the North
it is a different story. The Negro
in the same case would get hired,
but he would be denied any o^wr-tunities
for advancement.
E.May s^d that the Negro in
this day and age has an equal
opportunity with the "whites" in
all fields of endeavor. "They
just do not use their opportuni-ties.
"The poor Negro, he would
not accept, just the same as he
would not accept a poor 'White'.
When a Negro earns a first class
respect, he will receive it, but not
before."
It seems many Negroes do not
want the task of raising a family
and working for a living, but that
they want everything given to
them. This, he thought, was
wrong.
P. Morley said that the attitude
of the South is greatly changing.
"Originally the towns in the South
were all segregated b^ause it
was the thing, but now the situation
is changing. The people are be-coming
more liberalin t h e ir
attitudes towards Negroes."
The debate, sponsored by the
Political Science Club, was con-sidered
a success by many of
the students that attended.
The Political Science Club was
formed diis year to encourage
such events. The club hopes to
present other debates as well as
having timely speakers on camp-us,
in the near future. Keep watch-ing
the Bulletin Boards II
in the best interest of the col-lege."
