By JAY CASSIDY
Goodbye, Columbus is one of
those films which tickles us in
our cultural belly. We have no
defense against it except laugh-
ter. It is the type of film (sim'-
ilar to The Graduate) that ex-
poses the middle class in all of
its hypocrisy, jaded values, and
all that kind of stuff. We, of
the middle class, can only laugh
to save ourselves from. the real-
ization of what we may be.
My roommate Louis's family
fits nearly to the l e t t e r the
stereotype of the ,upper middle
class nouveau riche American
Jewish family as personified in
the Patimkin family of Good-
bye, Columbus. Roommate Louis
saw the movie and I asked him
whether he was insulted by all
of the satire on Jewish customs.
He replied: "No, I just laughed
like all the goys in the place.
You know, Jay, I think that if
someone hates Jews, then there
is something wrong with him."
The humor of Goodbye, Co-
lumbus, except for a few one
liners about warts, derives from
Neil Klugman's (Richard Ben-
jamin) disdain for the family
and culture of his girlfriend
Brenda Patimkin (All McGraw,
one of the most interesting fea-
tures in the movie). The humor
manifested itself in the Man-
tovani and Kostelanetz records
of Brenda's basketball brother.
The humor is essentially the
family's lack of taste. I argue
the validity of this kind of hu-
mor, which is actually no more
sophisticated than a Polack
joke. EveryoneI
says: "I am not

original proposal called for ap-
pointment of two graduates by;
Graduate Assembly. Last night's
amendment calls for SGC ap-;
pointment of all six student mem-
bers, but stipulates that at least
two be graduates.
SGC also began discussion of
the controversial draft of pro-j
posed Regental bylaws, but no
final action was taken.
Council began reviewing of the I
bylaw draft, and substitutes for
the sections members think arej
unacceptable were proposed.
Any formal action on the mo-
tions, however, must be decided
by a full roll-call vote. The ad
hoc committee's draft, along with
proposed amendments will be
mailed to SGC members who are
out of town and their votes will1
be taken by telephone.
SGC President Marty Mc-j
Laughlin proposed that sectionj
7.05, part 2 be amended to state
"A Student Services Policy Boardj
shall set general policy for the
Office of Student Services, which
shall be the responsibility of
the Vice President for Studentj
Services to follow and execute."
The bylaw presently does not
obligate the vice president to fol-
low the recommendations of his
policy board.
Controversy also arose over{
seating any faculty members on
this advisory board. Marc Van
Der Hout, executive vice presi-
dent of SGC, proposed that the
policy board be composed only of
students, saying that the office
exists for the sole purpose ofE
serving students, and should there-I
