committee last tuesday twenty students and seven faculty members attended the first open meeting of the ad hoc committee on residence life at the university prof robert jones chairman of the meeting reviewed briefly the purposes and goals of the committee which divided its concern into three main areas according to jones selectivity made no headway ln the committee the second point of interest was the desirability of freshman segregation in tlie first semester " prof jones noted the consensus was that integration was necessary the freshman year did not fit into any coherent pattern of university life however " he continued upon receiv ing 668 responses to a freshman questlonnnaire it was found that 9 per cent liked the system as lt was 47 per cent favored segregation but sought improved social life 30 per cent preferred residence halls integration while only 12 per cent would have liked to see a lengthened orientation period that would include rushing the results have caus ed the committee to review its conclusions finally he referred to the major con cern of the future direction of the residence system at lehigh the blueprint of future living prof roger shatter chairman of the subcommittee on needs and resources stated the purpose of his subcommittee ln resolving the question of what the university should built in the mure whether it should be the same or different type of con struction—and whether the students would be satisfied with present dorms in the future expanding the top professor george conardh chairman of the emulatable model subcommittee said that a small amount of hard information was available but cited two studies that had taken place in california that stressed students preferences over architectural prizes and cost per student factors in determining residence con structions according to the berkeley and all-california studies professor conard stated that students apparently want suites single rooms available as an option no big furniture showrooms downstairs no built-in furniture and non-uniform rooms flexibility to suit the student of the future is a further consideration that can not be overlooked he added elaborating further he introduced the ideas of building houses on the hill to accommodate 6 8 or 10 students and dean of residence clarence harriman eyes future of world i'm not very good at prophesying were the words of former ambassador w averill harriman as he presented the concluding lecture in the blausteln lecture series in grace hall thursday night it's very dangerous to do any predicting he continued as he discussed the future segment of his three-part presentation of u.s and soviet relations in a changing world his thoughts on the future are based largely on past experiences he emphasized two points the need for u s initiative in american soviet relations and the potential of youth in shaping world policy harriman said that we are allowing the government to get away from us in his words government is here to be the servant of the people not the reverse that the people are to be the slaves of the government according to harriman a good relationship with the russians can be established only after we have an understanding of their mentality historically said harriman the russians are very suspicious of foreigners this suspicion is further compound ed by the aloofness which today's communists try to maintain in quoting leo tolstoy lie said to understand tlie kremlin of today you have to understand the kremlin of ivan the terrible and peter the great he continued by saying unless we make the gestures unless we move over halfway very little progress will be made ■ to youth he said you can play a very important role in this country in regard to demonstrations harriman tends to be skeptical of their value instead he said i hope you will get involved in meetings where serious people will talk . ." with regard to students he said 1 am not at all disturbed by this generation of stu dents by and large i think this is the greatest group of students we've had in my lifetime the president said that we have to stay in vietnam to maintain the plausa billty of our words in the world that just isn't true he said that it will come with an honorable settlement of the war as soon as we give up trying to keep president thieu 1 n power in viet nam our voice in the world will have more credence harriman said tms idea that we're going to get along with china by estab lishing a 50 million defense just doesn't make any sense russia he says is just as concerned over china aa we are but our ganging up against china would be a mistake he continued they want to see a southeast asia aa india and pak istan strong and independent enough to check chinese advance to the south speaking out on nixon's state of the world address he quoted the new york times saying that there is more rhe toric than action he said that the only progress nixon has made la ln curtailing bacterialogical and chemical warfare concerning the most underdeveloped countries of the world he said we have an interest to do our share refering don miles see open page 9 see future page 9 see anti-draft page 9 a
