According to Mr. Robert J. Dixon, Assistant to the Dean of the College, the program is "to provide a challenge to the fresh- man and to enable him to perform according to his a<tJilities." Mr. Dixon said the program is the first inter-disciplinary venture of its kind and that it comes in response to student requests made in "Dia- logue '70" as well as Fr. Davis' desire to experiment and find the "best possible curriculum for the College." The 60, all of whom will live on Congressional Hall (4th Healy), were chosen on the basis of a 500 word essay submitted during the summer and an examination of their backgroupds. Mr. Dixon em- phasized, "This is not to be con- sidered as an 'Honors Group' in the general sense of the term. We selected well-rounded stUdents from varied backgrounds in order to provide a balanced environ- ment." Under a general theme of "Free- dom in the 19th Century," the students will carry regular ma- thematics and language courses in addition to special study in the areas of English, theology, history, and. philosophy.

Two professors will teach a group of 30 for 14 weeks and then the stu- dents will move on to two of the other professors. Although nine credits will be in the program, no grades WIll be marked until the last month of the program and there will be no written tests. A term paper will be submitted by each of the freshmen. Fr. Davis said "The paper will tie up the loose ends of the seminar problem. Each student will research some facet of freedom in the 19th century."

It would be with considerable pride that he did this, too. The Class of 1972, more than most classes to which this tag is affixed, qualifies as Georgetown's "best class ever." Chalmers said the Class of '72 is excellent on three counts. Scho- lastically, geographically and in the extracurricular life, the ipcom- ing students are considered very similar to what the Admissions Office was looking for. The average incoming freshman ranked in the top 20 per cent of his high school class. Leading the parade are the 36 women in the Foreign Service School who ave- raged in the top 7 per ce:1t of their high school classes. College Board scores are scanned by the admissions office because of their national stability, but they were considered of im- portance. More important, said Chalmers, were the recommenda- tions from high school counselors. Chalmers is thus very pleased that the Class of '72 has high board scores as well as a proven ability to work. Average freshmen scores were 610 in the verbal test- ing and 618 for mathematics. A perfect score would be 800. According to a recent study, Chalmers reported, Georgetown has the most diverse freshman class in the nation with the ex- ception of Harvard. Every state is represented even though half the students do come from the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jer- sey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Forty-one foreign students are al- so in the class.

'Diversity' Keynote To Class Of '72 Sixty Selected In Experiment In Humanities

The Freshman Liberal Arts Program, an attempt to involve 60 first year stUdents in a more intensive academic atmosphere, will be initiated this year by the College of Arts and Sciences.

Acting Director of Admissions Joseph A. Chalmers will probably pause today from his work recruit­ing next year's freshman class to watch the incoming freshmen in their first day on the Hilltop.

Modern GU Library ToProvideCampus With Needed Space

It's three down and two to go for Georgetown's new library on the Potomac. More precisely, it's three up and two to go. Three stories have been completed, and two more will complete the edifice.

Designed by John Carl War­necke, the new library will dis­play an irregular, grey facade to harmonize with neighbor Healy, done in Flemish Gothic. The new library will replace the shelf-lined loggias in Healy and the stacks in the old building's vaulted base­ment. Healy is already overtaxed with 400,000 volumes, but the new library will allow for an eventual capacity of 500,000. Healy's quar­ters provide study space for 300, while the new library will seat 1500.

When completed in September of next year, the library's entrance will be on the third floor, opening onto Healy Lawn. Card catalogues, reserve books, an 18-20,000 volume reference room, the circulation desk, carpeted reading and smok­ing areas, and rest rooms will be located on the third fioor. The vestibule will also serve as a sound barrier.

The second floor will be devoted to periodicals, and the first will contain the audio-visual center. In addition to Xerox facilities and in­dividual microtext readers, there will be a photolab and a central audio-visual unit. The basement will house parking areas, although it will be able to be converted to shelf space when needed. The basement will also contain a load­ing area and a data processing room wired for computers to be purchased in the future.

The main stacks and study areas will be located on the fourth floor. The library's administrative offices will occupy the fifth. together with the University Archives and a display room for rare books and manuscripts.

According to lLrchitect Warnel{e, the new library's irregular lines and grey stone will harmonize with the Healy Building. The composite photo above wiII allow the reader to make his own decision.

Atypical Adnrlnistrator Greets First Challenge

The new Dean of Freshmen on hand this week to greet his first freshman class defies the standard stereot;\'pe of a staid college ad­ministrator.

Patrick Dolan, a bespectacled native of Omaha, Nebraska, as­sumes the Georgetown post with experience as a teacher, tobacco picker, tin miner, and cane cutter.

The 28 year-old Dolan gained his bachelor and master degrees from the University of St. Louis. Formerly a Jesuit Scholastic, he has taught at the University of Salvador, Buenos Aires, Argen­tina, where he became interested in, and concerned with, the prob­lems of La tin Americans.

In Dolan's words, "I got to the point where I had to find out what it was like to live as a Latin American." In doing so, he worked for several months as a migrant worker in various nations over the South American continent.

His experience, however, is not limited to foreign lands. He served

at Georgetown as a freshman hall counsellor during the 1964-65 aca­demic year and as an assistant director of the Georgetown Uni­versity Community Action Pro­gram (GUCAP).

In discussing his role as Dean of Freshmen at Georgetown, Do­lan said that his aim is "to give students an opportunity to 'live reality'. Too often a college gradu­ate is more self-satisfied with his own aC;1ievements than he is con­cerned about the state of the world in which he lives. I hope that I can help in this respect."

The new dean hopes to approach the problems of the class of 1972 "on a one-to-one basis." With such an approach, he believes, students will be able to realize their full potential as leaders and not as mere members of a larger group.

Dolan succeeds John F. Burgess who held the position two years. Burgess left to work with the Re­p;;.bIican National Committee.

Freshmen in their first months must acquaint themselves with the locations of area businesses. The HOY A publishes this list hop­ing to help avoid needless walk­ing and unnecessary expense later. We do not pretend to include every local bus'iness, only those most patronized. A guideline to restaurants can be found in the back of this year's G-Book.

Laundries The Georgetown area is well

dotted with laundries. Most stu­dents take advantage of the coin washers and dryers loca ted in Harbin basement, Darnall base­ment, and in the corridors of St. Mary's Hall. It costs a quarter to wash and 10¢ to dry. Also well frequented is Mrs. Murphy's coin laundry next to the 1789. It is usually not as crowded, but one should be prepared for the extra money he will spend waiting in

the 1789 or '89 East. An added feature is the only area nighttime Xerox machine.

Area laundries include the Oriental Laundry at 34th and Prospect where three-day service is promised. Students have been known to get faster service, how­ever. The price is about the same as all the area laundries-32¢ a shirt.

The Georgetown Clectners, 1303 35th St., advertises one day serv­ice and has reasonable rates. Lon­don Cleaners and Tailors at 1214 Wisconsin Ave. offers good service but you must pay for this with higher-than-normal rates. One day service is available.

The Georgetown Shop at 1242 36th St. is definitely the most fre­quented of all area laundries sim­ply because of convenience to the campus. The help must think it a mark of social distinction to take

in people's dirty clothes because they act like they are doing the world a favor. The work is not al­ways of the highest quality, to say the least. Three day shirt service is normal, but, when paid their extra fee, they are able to give "s:Jecial service" and have the shirt in one day.

Two laundries relatively new to Georgetown students but noted for their service are Lttstre Clean­ers, 1426 Wisconsin Ave., which offers one hour cleaning, and New York Merchant Tailoring, 1534 Wisconsin Ave.

Tailoring The best place in the area for

tailoring is definitely the Needle and Thimble at 35th and N Streets. It offers good service and reasonable prices.

pairs is the Georgetown Cobblers, 1305 35th St. Most well-heeled Georegtown sole brothers find the service and price best at this con­venient place.

Another place with reasonable prices is Bredice Brothers Shoe Repairing, 1434 Wisconsin Ave.

Beauty Shops There are numerous beauticians

operating in the Georgetown area, but the list is usually boiled down to three. Not too far from the girls' dorms and open evenings is Vincent and Vincent Beauty Shop at 1605 Foxhall Rd. Another popular salon is Per of George­town, 1511 Wisconsin Ave., which is open most evenings. It features body massages and steam cabinets. Well frequented despite its rela­tive distance from campus is the House of Vincent at 1510 31st St.

Barber Shops Four barber shops find their

chairs usually filled by George­town students. Angelo's across from the Walsh building on 36th Street is noted for its friendly at­mosphere, but it helps to be a good listener. The price is the same as all area shops-$2.25. The four barbers open shop from 8 a.m. until 6:15 p.m.

Randolph's, 3211 M St., is not really busy because it is the least convenient to campus, but this lack of bustle is one of its charms.

The Campus Barber Shop can't be beat for its location. It is in the west lobby of New South. Hair cuts are sort of hit or miss, but they are sometimes good. There are two chairs except on Tuesday from 1 to 6 p.m. when one is re­served for the Jesuits. It is open 8 to 6 Monday thru Friday and 8 to 3 on Saturday. It is noted,

though, for the best ROTC cut in town.

Georgetown Hairstyling for Men, 1320 25th St., tries to cater to the crowd at Georgetown which pre­fers hairstyling to a haircut. Some find that the name is the only difference. The shop does offer the best haircut in the area. Its three chairs are open 8 to 6 Monday thru Saturday. ROTC students should go elsewhere.

Drug Stores The most picturesque drug

store in the area is Georgetown's contribution to insanity, People's Drug Store on Wisconsin Ave. Open 24 hours and selling just abo u t everything inc Iud i n g food ( ?), People's biggest selling point is its scenery. Any barber who entered would probably be stoned by the customers, who seem to be allergic to haircuts. A good place to go to break the monotony of an all-nighter.

A popular Georgetown hangout for many years has been Sugar's at the corner of 35th and 0 Streets. Magazines and school materials are present, and break­fast is Sugar's specialty.

A girl in a hurry might go to Western Pharrru:tcy at the corner of 35th and Reservoir. A small store, it is close to the girls' dorms and includes a small post office.

Check Cashing Most students find themselves

going to Dixie Liquor at 3429 M St. to cash 'lmall checks. The stu­dent bank will fill this function, but its hours are limited and it is closed on the weekend. Weis­muller's store on 36th St. next to '89 East also cashes some checks. A Georgetown ID card is a must at all three places.

But we are a University paper not simply because we chronicle the passing scene (and, more recently, the passing administrators) in the College, the Walsh Area, the Nursing School, and occasionally the graduate schools. We are not a University paper even because we sometimes report the rivalry between the College and the Walsh Area into which the Class of '72 will soon inject itself for fun and profit. The class politicos will inject themselves for profit in, pinning the blame for whatever goes awry on the other student government and the rest for the plain fun of bantering about the old cliches in calling the East Campus the Pampas and in pro­foundly noting that the College consists of 179 years of tradition unhampered by prog­ress.

This University, because it is a university, includes not only those students who are eager for the demise of either the College or the Walsh Area, as the case may be. Stu­dents who couldn't care less about the some­times odd vendetta as well as faculty, ad­ministrators and, yes, even alumni also con­stitute the Georgetown community. And The HOYA, because we are a University paper, must include the news and views of all these segments.

The news about members of this commun­ity is essentially made up of their doings (and undoings) on the Hilltop, and The HOYA will continue to print whatever they do that we think newsworthy. We will also continue to present their views on the things that happen and more often do not happen here, including their views on each other, since most anyone here has an opinion on most everyone else and often enough an opinion about himself.

But a university, again because it is a university, is composed of still a little more than student government squabbles and ad­ministrators' adjudications. A university in­cludes, most importantly, what its members came here to produce-thought. It includes the thought of all its scholars, senior and junior, on the great issues in every area of human endeavor. In fact, helping find solu­tions to the problems we confront in these areas is part and parcel of a university's function. And it is quite obvious that thought about things outside the University's walls is part and parcel of our lives here, consider­ing the amount of conversation and, more precisely, argumentation about them, espe­cially in this election year.

The HOYA, because we are a university paper as well, will do our share in furthering this vital thought. We will provide a forum in which members of the Georgetown com­munity can articulate their views on events outside the walls. From time to time, we will publish a supplement devoted to some spe­cific issue. We do not aim to compete with the national media any more than we plan to shun our primary role of informing the University about itself. We simply aim to present Georgetown in its entirety, at once reporting the activities of Georgetown's peo­ple within the walls while articulating their views on events outside the walls. We hope that, by taking a look outside the walls of our University, we will help many to take a look outside the walls in their minds.

But the HOYA, needless to say, also has its own views. In every student publication at Georgetown, as at the bottom of this edi­torial page, appear the words, "The writing, articles, layout, pictures, and format are the responsibility of the Editor and the Editorial Board and do not necessarily represent the views of the Administration, Faculty, and Students of the University unless specifically stated." At best, this is an understatement. Even though we are a student publication, we will not present the stUdent viewpoint any more than we will latch onto the admin­istration angle or allow only the faculty space. We will simply present what we think to be the right view, knowing full well that members of each segment of the University will at times agree with us and at times dis­agree, to put it mildly.

Many metaphors have been employed to express a newspaper's function. A newspaper will call itself a mirror or an examiner or, if it harbors a good opinion of itself, the sun. One newspaper will call itself a herald, which implies that it toots a horn, while still an­other thinks itself as the horn, as does one publication at a Catholic girls' college.

Perhaps the best metaphor for The HOY A is that we are a pipeline. This image is not entirely aesthetic and certainly could not be used as a name, but at least it is functional. We are a pipeline because we link all seg­ments of the Georgetown community, be­cause we are a means by which everyone can get to everyone else with no obstruction. But there is always danger of a little garbage seeping into the pipeline and causing the ob­struction we seek to avert. In our case, gar­bage is unclear writing, muddled thoughts, and stories that are downright untrue. And so, we will keep our writing °clear, our thoughts lucid, and our honesty intact. Of course, some natural gas-hot air-may also get into the pipeline. When it does, we hope that our readers will tell us and give us a little gas in return. A pipeline is a two-way affair and The HOYA is used to giving as well as taking gas.

The freshman recipient is Ger­ard J. O'Brien, son of a 1932 alumnus. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Gerard J. O'Brien of New York City. He is enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences.

The other r e c i pie n t s are Michael S. Valimont, a sophomore in the Foreign Service School, Sharon Kathleen Dempsey, a junior in the Nursing School, and Michael Brian McDonald, a senior in the College.

Dr. Ruby first came to George­town as a student in 1923 and earned three degrees, including his Bachelor's from the College of Arts and Sciences in 1927 and his Ph.D. in 1930. While a graduate student, he was appointed an in­structor and by 1938 became head of the English Department.

a year ago. A Georgetown student about to graduate can expect to be paid from $6,000 to $10,500, compared to last year's top salary of $9,000. Even students who ex­pect to be called into military service in two or three months after being hired by recruiters. "Many firms hope their new em­ployees will return after tours of duty," Mrs. Guinane said.

Mrs. Guinane noted that the greatest demand is for account­ants. Use of computers and the growing complexity of industry, business, and government have pushed up salaries. One George­town accountant who graduated in June is starting at $10,500, and Mrs. Guinane noted that "there are several others who aren't far behind that figure."

Some women are also finding a place in industry-and at good salaries, too. Mrs. Guinane said one coed with a master's degree in mathematics has been offered $10,500.

Rostrum Georgetown and Leadership in a Free Society

by W. Patrick Dolan Dean of Freshmen

College oj Arts and Sciences To keep a free society free-that is no job for the

mediocre, the bitter, or the self-satisfied. It is a job for leaders who care and have a vision. Education, what­ever else it does, must somehow form that type of leader. The question that must continually stand before us is how to make these four years meaningful for the young men who come to Georgetown.

College degrees of their nature bring no guarantee of either virtue or wisdom. We surely need a steady supply of wise men and women whose creativity and sense of values can come to grips with our society and our world. Whether we meet that demand or fall into producing agile opportunists, time-servers and trained followers is up to us. It is always easier to withdraw from the real world and its problems and enjoy the leisure and a tiny bit of intellectual stimulation from time to time for these four years. It is another question to face our modern problems and set about working to the limit of our capacity to solve them.

If you look at the student unrest around the country and the world and try and sift out the real issues, one demand seems to come forth. "These are four invalu­able years of our lives; make them relevant." We are not here to learn more about Henry VIII's mistresses than our own social and political crisis.

In our rapidly changing society, a university like Georgetown must stop before the beginning of an aca­demic year and see itself as it really is. There must be a realization of a community of men and women, faculty, students, and administrators who are working toward one significant goal. A non-community will find it very difficult to accomplish anything if it looses sight of its reason for existing. Men who find themselves living full lives, find themselves involved in a never-ending process of learning.

When one asks the question of the role of Georgetown in a free society, the answer seems to me to be clear. You and I, the students and the faculty, justify our presence here as part of a community dedicated to a work. That work is to unlock the potential that comes to Georgetown. We must become aware of the problems that we face as individual men and as a nation. We must find significant material to study, gain knowledge and insight from one another, communicate to each other the hope and vision of the future in a free society.

Institutions like Georgetown can only stay alive if they keep their reason for being in view. The great danger of the big institution is that the day-to-day and year-to-year decisions are made with one motive in mind, or at least foremost-self perpetuation. That is not the aim of Georgetown and it must be free to make decisions with its true aim before it. It seems to me we are dedicated to an honesty, a revelance, and a deter­mination toward our modern challenges with the full knowledge that we are free to turn and achieve our goals and in so doing produce leaders willing and able to transform our society.

The "production of leaders" is a hackneyed phrase in the education handbook. Still it does point up the prob­lem we are faced with. It is very difficult to teach wis­dom and virtue, and this is the stuff of leaders. So edu­cation becomes so often a collection of facts, use of the memory, and a system of constantly measuring these two. When it's finished you have a pretty good idea of who can and was willing to play the game, but the real question is whether the activity of "learning" was ex­perienced, whether relevant questions were examined with honesty, whether one finally realized that education is a life-process, and that these four years are meant to open men to a life of new problems and new learning experiences.

We in the United States have created a society based on freedom. It has and always will lead us to new challenges. Education in that society cannot become a repetition of old facts for new problems. It has to be a liberating experience which teaches men to "learn" continually. The skills can be taught to some extent, but the desire to use them for the good of other men can only be communicated by a community of individuals dedicated to freedom of inquiry and the freedom to act on the discoveries. Georgetown can be that type of com­munity if we rededicate ourselves not to self perpetua­tion, but to each other and our world so much in need of answers and the men prepared to live those answers out.

Students Alleviate Registration Maze

As multitudes of perspiring and confused Georgetown students thread their way through the maze of stations in registration next week, the one bright spot among the courses that refuse to fit and the lost computer cards will be the aid supplied by the Collegiate Club.

enthusiastic about the new pro­gram and are eager to witness its outcome. Dean of Freshmen Patrick Dolan, said "This period of history was one of great rich­ness and is the basis of much of our present situation. Men such as Darwin, Marx, and Freud are im­portant parts of that time and will be studied."

The future for the Freshman Liberal Arts Program is as of yet indefinite. Dixon said "We think it is a wonderful idea, but the future course depends largely on the success or failure of this year's experiment."

workers paid through the Regis­trar's office. This year, however, following an offer made by Col­legiate Club President Bruce Gor­al (CoIl. '69), the personnel will be totally volunteer with the ex­ception of employees from the Student Finance Office and Stu­dent Housing Office who will serve in their respective fields.

The university registrar, Mr. .John Quinn, is pleased with the new arrangement. "Its a most wel­come change," Quinn said, "not only are we assured of having enough manpower, but we save a substantial amount of money."

Club president Goral commented on the group's role in the regis­tration process by stating "We feel that it's time the students of Georgetown should begin to be­come concerned with the situa­tion and do their part to relieve it."

tors have said a major considera­tion is the College's ability to pro­vide adequate services for all stu­dents, both male and female, without placing an undue strain on the already overtaxed financial resources of the University.

Student reaction to the change has been mixed. Some enthusias­tically maintain that the only mis­take the administration has made has been waiting so long to act. Others say that Georgetown tradi­tion argues against any change of such radical nature. One senior puts it this way: 'Tm for it ra­tionally, but no one in the College likes to see tradition slapped in the face."

to settle for an embarrassing tie.

The Hoyas lost the bitterly con­tested game with the Terps 2-0 as their goalie Dick Gregorie was ejected following a questionable decision by the referee. From that point, it was downhill for George­town as they lost all the momen­tum they had gathered during the first half of the season.

Returning for another year are last year's top offensive weapons, Alfredo Montero and Emilio Sicre. Montero established a school scor­ing record as a sophomore and junior. The graduation of Gregorie, winner of last year's athlete­scholar award award, will present the greatest problem for Coach Ricardo Mendoza.

Mendoza will begin his third season as coach and can only be classed as successful while com­piling an 11-10-1 record for his first two years. He moved into a situation in 1966 which had the soccer players demanding the res­ignation of their former coach. Since Mendoza's take-over, the dissension has left and the Hoyas have been battling excellent col­legiate squads on a near-even keel.

Last year, Mendoza enlisted the assistance of Alan Rodgers, for­mer coach of the now defunct Chicago Spurs, who played in the Nat ion a I Professional Soccer League. This typifies the effort being made to convert a group of non-scholarship players into for­midable opposition for anyone.

The two losses suffered last year to Penn State and Villanova rep­resent twice as many setbacks as the Hoyas ha::l taken in the pre­vious four years. This enviable record was set as a result of the coaching of Steve Benedek and some outstanding individual run­ners. This year could begin a new string for Benedek as he lost only Bob Zieminski from last year's squad. Zieminski is currently train­ing hard to land an Olympic berth in the 800 meters, the most desir­able distance for him.

in two grueling practices each day. A favorite Benedek tactic last year was to send the Hoyas on a 14-mile round trip to St. John's Prep.

Although there has been criti­cism of these methods, usually brought on by an occasional case of mononucleosis, Benedek's suc­cess has proven itself. The former Hungarian freedom fighter ranks second only to Villanova's "Jumbo Jim" Elliot in the East. His na­tionally noted runners have in­cluded Joe Lynch, Eamon O'Reilly, Ricardo Urbina and now Stage­berg.

This could be Georgetown's year, if only because they meet Villa­nova and Penn State on the Hoya terrain. A team that has lost only three dual meets in five years does not easily forget last year.

The Hoyas' schedule is a highly competitive one as the national rankings from last year indicate. They tested fifth-ranked Fordham and ninth-ranked Seton Hall. The rona Gaels not only finished in tbe premier spot across the country, but also defeated King's College, Pa. in the first annual Club Bowl in Mount Vernon, N.Y.

Practice sessions are expected to remain similar to last year's sched­ule which had a crash conditioning program followed by initial head­knocking during the beginning of October. As part of the football master plan at Georgetown no practice will begin prior to the beginning of classes or following Thanksgiving.

There were 65 members of the 1967 club which experienced a hot and cold season. Coach Dubofsky hopes that an equally impressive turnout from all four classes will greet him this fall.

THE CATCH

Heading this year's returning lettermen is Steve Stageberg, the brilliant hoofer from Eugene, Ore­gon. Stage berg is also hoping to represent the United States at Mexico City in his specialty, the 5000 meters. He finished second in the lC4A meet last year and broke many Georgetown individual records both in cross country and in track. 1968 Football Schedule

Coach Benedek is expecting his returning runners plus last year's freshman squad to catapult the Hoyas to the kingpin position in the East. Considering that the Georgetown varsity placed second in the lC4A meet and first in the frosh meet in 1967, this might not be asking too much.

Even the most devoted bookworm would be hard pressed to present a convincing case opposing the value of football on a college campus. The two go together like Simon and Gar­funkle. The long-awaited decision marked the culmination of attempts by both the Student Athletic Commission and the football team itself to provide a solid ground for football at Georgetown. But a five game schedule is the limit for the present.

Today's collegiate football membership is composed of the giants (Notre Dame, Michigan State, and Alabama, to name a few) and the remaining 85 per cent of national grid teams. Georgetown is part of that 85 per cent where extreme em­phasis must remain a dream. Georgetown is not (and never will be) capable of supporting big-time football on the scale which is common to the collegiate football factory. The money is simply not there and the physical facilities are rapidly decreasing as the traffic jam on the lower field has proven. This is no reason to exclude the sport from the Uni­versity and the five game football schedule has provided a sufficient outlet.

It was not a decision which was forced upon the football players, and this is expressed in their code which reads in part: " ... we herein state our view that Georgetown Uni­versity football should be amateur football, strictly and in every sense of the word. It is our firm conviction that no scholarship or grant-in-aid should be given any student for playing football."

A more subtle reason which demonstrates the futility of football expansion is the lack of support by D.C. area resi­dents. George Washington was forced to eliminate their foot­ball program last year because of this and is now contemplat­ing making a switch comparable to that of Georgetown. The only major team in the area now is the University of Mary­land and they have not had admirable attendance in the past few years.

There are many schools in the East which have changed to a limited football program and most of these have given indications that they will retain their teams. They include Fordham, St. Peter's, lona, Seton Hall, Catholic U., Man­hattan, La Salle, St. John's, Providence, and Scranton.

Today's Hoya football team runs plays, wears equipment and represents the University just as their 1940 counterparts who went to the Orange Bowl. The game is the same; but the significant difference is that they are on the field because they enjoy football. This is a forgotten attitude today in the era of the professional amateur. Pure satisfaction has taken a back-seat to the five-figure bonus contract.

Georgetown has made the right choice. They have had the support of the Administration in this venture and the next few years will indicate whether they have captured that other magic ingredient-support of the student body.

CUFF NOTES: Should further proof be required of the significant part that Georgetown once played, a glance at the Hoya's 1950 schedule would tell an interesting tale. It in­cluded Penn State, Miami University, Tulsa, Holy Cross, Boston College, Villanova, Maryland, Fordham, and George Washington ... Fordham maintains a nine-game schedule, having games with such teams as Detroit, Louisiana State of New Orleans and Marquette .... The Rams drew 13,678 fans for their game with Manhattan last year .... The Hoyas ranked 16th last year among "club" football teams.

in Washington. Due to the impending retire­

ment of Jack Hagerty, the present athletic director, SighoItz, who is 44, is expected to be indoctrinated for this pOSition. A graduate of the University of Maryland, he and his wife reside in Annandale, Virginia.

The announcement of Dubofsky as head football coach came as a surprise to those speculating on the successor to last year's coach, Mike Agee, who resigned to ac­cept a position out of football on the West Coast.

A graduate of Georgetown in 1932, and of its law school in 1935, Dubofsky played on some of the strong Hoya football teams of that era. Also, in 1932, he played for the New York Giants of the National Football League.

He was an assistant coach to Jack Hagerty from 1933-48 at Georgetown. It was during this period that Georgetown pro­duced some of its finest football teams, highlighted by the team's berth in the 1941 Orange Bowl.

All eyes should be on the Georgetown backfield this year as the Hoyas have a wealth of experience.

In 1951, Dubofsky moved to St. John's College High School in Washington and was responsible for several undefeated seasons. His teams played in eight city championships, winning six. He left in 1962 to coach South Hills Catholic High in Pittsburgh, winning the Catholic Champion­ship of the Pittsburgh area in 1967.

The chance of improving George­town's disappointing 2-3 record for the 1967 football season must b~ considered strong this year due mainly to a backfield loaded with lettermen.

Because of injuries and inexper­ience last year, many players re­ceived the opportunity to prove themselves, and some, notably Brian Phelan and Tom Argentieri, made lasting impressions.

After successive losses to Seton Hall and Iona, Phelan, a junior, and Argentieri, a senior, collab­orated to help bury St. Peter's 32-0. They helped the Hoya of­fense to break loose from its stut­tering ways as Georgetown could only manage six points in the first two games.

The most difficult task facing first year coach Mush Dubofsky will be to replace some of the huge defensive stalwarts lost through gra:luation. Half of the
