Winter
Weekend
Termed
“Partial
Success”
A
Moment
To
Reflect
At
a
recent
meeting
of
student
council,
Winter
Weekend
was
termed
a
“partial
success.”
It
was
unfortunate
that
the
students
at
PSC
did
not
take
full
advantage
of
the
wekend.
The
biggest
failure
of
the
weekend
was
the
semi-
formal
dance
and
running
close
to
it
was
the
WTine
and
Cheese
tast
ing
festival.
At
the
semi-formal
dance
there
was
mostly
faculty
and
a
few
stu
dent
couples
that
could
afford
to
come
mingled
in
and
by
11
p.m.
most
students
had
left
as
they
could
not
dance
to
the
type
of
music
that
the
band
was
playing.
Many
students,
after
leaving
this
event,
felt
as
if
they
had
been
taken,
as
all
they
got
out
of
it
was
a
meal.
The
main
reason
for
the
failure
of
this
event
is
that
semi-formal
dances
are
on
the
way
out.
Stu
dents
are
freer
than
they
used
to
be
and
would
rather
go
to
a
dance
featuring
a
good
rock
band
and
dress
in
blue
jeans
and
a
tee
shirt
rather
than
dress
for
a
semi-for
mal.
Many
of
the
guys
did
not
have
clothes
up
here
that
they
could
have
worn,
anyhow.
During
the
cocktail
hour,
a
col
lege
group
was
displaying
their
talents
which
most
people
found
unappealing
as
this
is
a
time
when
people
are
to
socialize,
and
who
likes
to
shout
over
someone’s
singing?
The
Wine
and
Cheese
tasting
festival
w^s
a
failure
to
most
who
attended.
If
one
went
after
the
parade,
he
found
the
wine
was
gone,
or
perhaps
he
got
one
small
glass
for
a
buck.
The
student
coun
cil
had
not
planned
on
so
many
students
attending
this
so
they
did
not
order
enough
wine
this
forcing
them
to
refund
money
to
many
of
the
students.
Who
is
to
blame
for
the
failure
of
the
weekend
—
the
student
council
or
the
students
in
general?
The
blame
goes
to
both
—
the
council
for
poor
planning
and
the
students
for
not
taking
advantage
of
the
event.
Perhaps
activities
during
Spring
Weekend
will
be
better
planned
to
the
students
in
terest
so
it
is
a
success
for
ail
involved.
The
Reasons
Why
What
you’re
about
to
read
is
most
likely
going
to
make
some
people
very
upset;
however,
I
feel
that
many
people
will
also
agree
with
me
and
will
be
afraid
to
pub
lically
admit
it
for
fear
of
being
put
on
disciplinary
probation
or
even
suspended
from
school.
I
would
like
to
stress
that
these
are
my
personal
thoughts
and
in
no
way
want
this
to
be
interpreted
as
a
radical
movement,
but
solely
as
a
plea
to
everyone
involved.
It
has
become
very
obvious
not
only
to
me
but
also
to
everyone
involved
with,
or
interested
in,
the
Student
Council
that
we
are
serv
ing
this
school
only
as
a
social
planning
organization,
and,
even
in
that
respect,
we
do
not
have
the
final
say
in
what
goes
on.
We
have
also
in
past
weeks
become
the
cam
pus
complaint
department
for
dor
mitories,
campus
clubs,
and
per
sonal
dissatisfactions;
we
have
also
been
held
responsible
for
holding
elections
for
things
which
have
nothing
to
do
with
Paul
Smith’s,
posting
changed
dates
for
basketball
games
and
other
menial
jobs
which
the
administration
sees
fit
to
pass
along
to
its
favorite
“puppet
organization.”
As
I
look
over
the
Student
Coun
cil’s
past
minutes
it
appears
very
obvious
that
we
as
a
Student
Council
have
accomplished
noth
ing,
and
we
as
a
social
organizat
ion
have
also
failed.
The
reason
we
have
failed
socially
is
partly
because
some
people
don’t
care
about
anything
that
goes
on,
and
mainly
because
the
students
aren’t
enthused,
or
motivated;
they
have
no
desire
to
participate
even
though
they
are
bored
stiff.
I
can’t
help
but
feel
that
I
can
place
the
blame
for
this
upon
the
ad
ministration
of
this
school.
How
can
you
generate
enthusiasm
when
the
student
body
is
living
under
the
conditions
that
exist
here
at
Paul
Smith’s:
the
filth,
the
poorly
planned
meals,
and
the
decade-old
rules,
rules
that
existed
when
our
parents
went
to
school?
The
ad
ministration
has
not
only
rejected
everything
that
the
Student
Coun
cil
has
tried
to
accomplish,
but
they
have
even
in
some
cases,
re
fused
to
listen
to
proposal
that
we
have
drawn
up.
We
have
tried
to
work
on
a
questionnaire
to
get
a
general
feeling
and
consensus
of
the
school
body
about
certain
school
policies,
but
were
ordered
to
table
it;
we
were
working
on
a
meal
ticket
system
and
were
told
to
forget
it
before
we
even
got
started;
we
have
also
tried
to
change
and
improve
upon
other
aspects
of
the
school
policy
—
with
no
success.
The
administra
tion
has
even
gone
as
far
to
threaten
those
involved
with
per
manent
suspension
from
school.
They
have
not
only
stripped
the
Student
Council
of
its
powers,
but
have
also
tried
to
strip
us
of
our
Constitutional
rights
of
freedom
of
speech
and
of
the
press.
Re
cently
we
were
informed
that,
“We
as
students
at
this
institution
have
no
right
to
talk
with,
or
con
sult
with
the
professors
or
admin
istrators
about
any
proposal
of
change
concerning
school
policy
because
this
administration
has
no
intentions
of
changing.”
I
think
from
this
day
forth
the
administration
of
this
school

Mr.
Apollos
Smith
Paul
Smiths,
N.Y.
Dear
Mr.
Smith:
If
you
could
only
see
us
now.
The
natural
beauty
you
once
found
in
the
Adirondack
is
still
here,
but
somewhat
hampered
by
the
“improvements”
your
succes
sors
made.
Sorry
to
say,
we’ve
lost
a
few
buildings
over
the
years
since
you
were
here
last.
The
beautiful
hotel
that
you
built
about
a
hundred
years
ago
was
struck
by
fire
and
burned
to
the
ground.
The
railroad
that
brought
the
glamorous
figures
of
years
past
to
the
shores
of
Lower
St.
Regis
brought
its
last
dignitaries
to
your
lands
long
ago
Estates
and
institutions
which
used
to
house
people
from
the
President
of
the
United
States
to
the
ailing,
now
houses
young
men
desperately
trying
to
get
an
edu
cation.
The
famed
Leaning
Pine,
where
you
talked
and
had
your
picture
taken
along
with
your
friends,
was
cut
down
last
fall
and
now
takes
its
place
along
with
other
lost
mem
ories.
It
would
be
sad
for
you
to
see
so
little
left
of
the
grandure
that
you
helped
build.
Let
us
not
forget
what
you
had
hoped
to
do
with
your
land.
Every
year
the
college
that
bears
your
name
graduates
young
men
and
women
who
have
been
trained
by,
for
the
most
part,
caring
teachers.
They
give
their
help
in
forming
the
lives
of
their
students
either
toward
rebellion
or
respect.
The
students
are
cared
for
and
watch
ed
every
inch
of
the
way.
With
the
freedom
they
hoped
to
find
in
the
natural
vastness
of
the
area,
they
still
feel
closed
in.
They
should
realize
that
they
are
not
aliens
of
the
college
but
the
most
important
part
of
it,
for
without
these
young
men
and
women
there
would
be
no
college.
Well,
Mr.
Smith,
there
are
many
changes
here
you’d
just
have
to
see
to
believe.
Some
are
good
and
some
not
so
good.
I
just
wish
we
still
had
you
here
to
guide
us;
we
need
someone.
Sincerely
yours,
Marc

Ideas
For
Spring
Weekend
After
PSC’s
Winter
Weekend,
I
heard
many
comments
regarding
its
success
or
failure.
Unfortunate
ly,
the
great
majority
of
students
seemed
to
think
that
it
was
a
flop
for
the
most
part.
Because
of
this
I
decided
to
get
several
opinions
as
to
how
the
up-coming
Spring
Weekend
could
be
made
more
of
a
success.
The
question
I
asked
was,
“What
activities
would
you
like
planned
for
Spring
Week
end?”
The
answers
were
.
.
.
“I’d
like
to
have
a
Woodstock
on
the
quad.”
Vinney
Costantino,
L.A.
“I’d
like
to
have
a
concert
with
a
famous
group
like
we
had
last
year,
out
on
the
quad.”
Mark
Greene,
P.P.F.
“What
would
I
like?
About
three
weeks
off.”
Bob
Danyus,
L.A.
‘I’d
like
a
mixer
Friday
night,
a
woodsman’s
meet
on
Saturday
morning,
a
concert
Saturday
night,
a
folk
Mass
Sunday
morning.”
Dorothy
Christopher,
B.A.
“A
concert
and
a
woodsmen’s
meet
would
be
two
things
that
would
probably
interest
everyone.”
Bob
Reilly
P.P.F.
“A
concert
with
a
decent
band,
and
have
it
outside.”
Bob
Rumpf,
P.P.F.
“A
concert
and
a
beer
and
chic
ken
blast.”
John
Buenau,
P.P.F.
“I
’d
like
a
big
beer
blast
with
a
band
on
the
quad
and
concert
fol
lowing.”
Wayne
Mosher,
P.P.F.
“A
concert
and
a
beer
blast
on
the
quad.
They
ought
to
have
something
outside
this
year.”
P.
J.
Van
Sluyters,
P.P.F.
