University Withholds Official j~.~: Statements On Penn StatuteflJ

The Pennsylvania State Legislature has passed a law calling upon all American universities to provide the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency with "mune, address, and pertinent facts" concerning any student who has legal residence in Pennsylvania and engages in campus disruption.

The University, according to one

Dedication Of New Library ·Held In Gaston

Georgetown's new library was dedicated to the memory of J 0-

seph Mark Lauinger last Saturday. The ceremonies, however, did not take place at the library. University officials, fearing student demonstrations, conducted the program in Gaston Hall, where greater security could be provided.

As expected, protesters did gather. $ix stood quietly, almost nonchalantly, outside the Healy Building. Five registered their disapproval of the library's being named after a casualty of the Vietnam war. The sixth protester distributed a flyer in which he inveighed against the library's dedication to Lauinger in particular.

high administrative source, has presently not taken an official policy stance concerning this issue. However, the University Administration has consulted with the law firm of Williams and Connolly, the University's legal counsel.

Present legal statutes give the University an opportunity to decide whether or not scholarship funds will be withheld from disruptive stUdents. The Pennsylvania law leaves the University with no opportunity to intervene.

In addition, similar legislation is now pending in Congress and in the state legislature in California.

The Board of Overseers at Harvard University and the Board of Trustees at Stanford University have both voted to reject a proposed agreement with the Pennsylvania statute.

The new Pennsylvania law drew sharp reaction from the Undergraduate Student Government PreSident, Mike Thornton. He stated that the law represents a "violation of the freedom of speech and privacy for the individual." Thornton criticized the law further, commenting, "It seems inconceivable that such a law would be passed, but I guess it reflects the times in the United States today."

The undergraduate student government president also commented that the law is "the type of repressive action that is indicative of the age of Spiro."

Joe George, undergraduate student government vice president, concurred with Thornton's opinion. "I strongly disagree with such a

law," he stated. Concerning the is- ,>~: sue at Georgetown, the president ' of the Student Senate asserted that he would "work to stop University officials from complying with the authorities of the state of Pennsylvania in this matter."

George said that he considered it to be "repugnant for Georgetown to send names to Pennsylvania officials, as stipulated."

He also indicated that he would ask a member of the undergraduate Student Senate to introduce a resolution at the May 3 meeting of the legislative body condemning the law and requesting that the University reject the statutes of the law.

Thornton stated that he will forward a message to the University President and members of the University Board of Directors calling upon them to reject compliance of the University with the Pennsylvania law.

Thornton added that he hoped that the issue would be considered at the May 8 meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board.

Senator Birch Bayh of Indiana addressed an assembly of 1000 on Copley lawn last Wednesday during the University's aetivities commemorating "Earth Day."

The Executive Committee will also consider other issues that are sensitive to the student government leaders.

These will include the question of recommending to Chase Manhattan Bank, the custodian of the University's 1000 shares of General Motors stock, to vote the shares in favor of Campaign GM.

The executive committee will also evaluate the recommendations of a University-wide committee studying the ROTC issue.

Fr. Henle Proposes Consultation Group

A directive from the President of the University, the Rev. Robert J. Henle, S.J., calling for the establishment of a group of students, faculty members, and administrators to consult with the University President upon a regular basis has drawn sharp re-

action from undergraduate student leaders.

A member of the College Class of '67, Joseph Lauinger was killed last January while serving as an infantry lieutenant. His three brothers attended Georgetown, as did his father, Philip C. Lauinger, of Tulsa, Okla. Publisher of the Oil and Gas Journal, he is among the first laymen to serve on Georgetown's Board of Directors.

Saturday afternoon's ceremonies included remarks by the Rev. Robert J. Henle, S.J., University President, and Joseph Jeffs, head librarian. The dedicatory address was delivered by Dr. Donald Penn, professor of history. Musical interludes were provided by the Georgetown University Glee Club and the Georgetown Chimes.

StudentReferendumReveals Support For ROTC Reforms

While granting the responsibility of choosing faculty representatives for the consultative body to Dr. Valerie Earle, president of the University Senate, Fr. Henle chose student representatives without consulting with the Undergraduate Student Government President, Mike Thornton.

The University President's action was criticized in a sharplyworded statement from Thornton's office.

"He (Fr. Henle) has created a Presidential Advisory Group which ignores the legitimate right of Undergraduate Student Government to appoint, through a welldefined procedure, all students to represent the undergraduate student body," Thornton wrote.

An honorary degree was also conferred. Howard W. Gunlocke, a library benefactor and member of the College Class of '34, was

After months of deliberation by the University ROTC Committee, as well as recommendations by that body, the Student and University Senates, and a student referendum, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors will discuss the ROTC question May 8.

Last week the student referen-

dum on ROTC and Vietnam revealed that 68 percent of the students who voted favored the retention of the corps on campus in one form or another as compared with the 32 percent who called for the complete severance of ties between the University and the ROTC program.

The proposal favoring abolition of credit for military science courses received 37.8 percent of the total number of votes cast, Only 5.2 percent of those voting felt that ROTC should remain on campus "in its present form," while 25 percent favored retention "in a modified form."

In the Vietnam referendum, 59.3 percent favored immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Vietnam, with 38.8 percent opposed to such a withdrawal.

The balloting was moderate on both questions, as 39.5 percent of the student body voted on the ROTC referendum, while 38.7 percent voted on the Vietnam question.

The school-by-school breakdown of the vote on the ROTC balloting went as follows:

To retain the program in its present form: the NurSing School (6.1 percent), School of languages and Linguistics (6.3 percent), College (4.4 percent), School of Foreign Service (5.1 percent), School of Business Administra-

tion (6.9 percent). To retain the program in a

modified form: GUNS (43 percent), SLL (25 percent), ColI. (21.1 percent), SFS (26.3 percent), SBA (25.7 percent).

To deprive ROTC of academic credit: GUNS (36.8 percent), SLL (37.5 percent), ColI. (37.8 percent), SFS (35 percent), SBA (45.1 percent).

To remove ROTC from Georgetown campus: GUNS (14 percent), SLL (31.2 percent), ColI. (36.7 percent), SFS (33.6 percent) , SBA (22.3 percent.)

In its final report, the ROTC Committee recommended that military science not remain on campus unless the procedures of the military science department "are controlled by the University." The committee also recommended that military science courses be open to all stUdents of the University who are in good academic standing. The report also started that the University should exclude as instructors military personnel who are on active duty.

A minority report submitted by the Rev. Matthew Sullivan, S.J., chairman of the committee, and approved by Prof. Skigen of the School of Business Administration, stated that "the current Army and Air ROTC programs should be retained at George-

Among the presidential appointments to the group was Matt Crosson (CoIl. '71) who ran against Thornton in the undergraduate student presidential election. Thornton defeated Crosson by 130 votes.

Thornton was also appointed to the group. In addition, a member of the Black Student Alliance, Michael Barton (SFS '70), was also named to the deliberative body. Mr. Al Van Thournot, president of the graduate student organization, was appointed to represent the views of graduate students.

The Rev. Thomas R. Fitzgerald, S.J., academic vice president of the University, was named to the body to represent the administrative viewpoint.

Dr. Earle was also appointed to the group. Moreover, "a woman student" is to be selected. She will be chosen by the Vice President for Student Development, Dr. Patricia Rueckel.

In the directive Fr. Henle stated that "at present I am meeting whomever he chooses to bring and I do not believe this is a satisfactory vehicle of communication and of information for myself."

ROTC Majority Report Gets Student Senate Endorsement

Can You Replace Father Henle??

The undergraduate Stu den t Senate passed a resolution endorsing the majority report of the University ROTC Committee at its meeting Sunday in New South Faculty Lounge.

However, the senators had earlier rejected a resolution calling for ROTC to be deprived of all relations with Georgetown University.

Garvin Walsh and Brian Buniva (At Large '72), co-sponsors of the resolution, also asked their fellow legislators to endorse Appendix B of the committee report, which urged the abolition of ROTC on the grounds that the program constitutes a violation of legally formulated University policy.

John Goldenring (CoIl. '73), however, thought "ROTC has plenty of right to be on this campus."

After Goldenring spoke, the Senate's rules were suspended to allow Roger Cochetti (SFS '72), the author of Appendix B, to explain his report. He discussed his rejection of the arguments that ROTC is a liberalizing influence on the military, and that the training corps does not contradict the University's policy of neutrality.

Cochetti said that the University is not neutral since it "aids a participant in a belligerent act," namely, the Vietnam war. Several of the senators commented on this point.

Dan Kerrigan (SFS '73) said, "If this were a different time, I might vote differently." He also

pointed out that Capt. Earnest Medina, a prominent figure in the My Lai incident, is an ROTC graduate.

Goldenring admitted the Vietnam argument was quite persuasive but asked, "Can I vote for something today and not vote for it tomorrow?" He called the Walsh-Buniva resolution "a symbolic, half practical gesture."

Debate lasted one hour, after which the motion was defeated 14 to 9.

As Doug Steely (SFS '72) walked out, Walsh introduced another motion, which he called a "castrated version" of his first. It called for support of the findings of the subcommittee on cadet control, as well as the conclusions of the majority report.

After a short recess, the sena(Continued on Page 14)

In debating the first motion, the senators discussed their role as representatives, as well as the ROTC question itself. Several senators felt it was their duty to abide by the results of last week's student referendum.

Undergraduate President Mike Thornton urged the senators to take a "leadership role." He thought they should consider the referendum, but that ultimately "each person has to decide these things for himself."

ing, Neil Scotti (At Large '72) said, "I'll have to plead ignorance." The undergraduate president replied that Scotti should follow the referendum's outcome "if there's no conflict with your conscience."

He later added, "There is some higher law than what a majority thinks." Senate President Joe George agreed, saying he hoped the Senate would take a "position of leadership, instead of being overly representative, because we aren't anyway."

Discussing the training corps itself, Walsh said, "The question is: Does ROTC fit into the framework of the University?" He thought it didn't, and Buniva agreed.

by Bob Kiely

The College of Art san d Sciences will offer a major in sociology beginning with the 1970-71 academic year. The Rev. Royden B. Davis, dean of the College, explained that the addition of a major in sociology has been under consideration for the past two years.

The College presently offers approximately 27 credits in sociology. The departmental offerings could not, however, feasibly be extended without offering a major in the field, Fr. Davis said. Presently, there are two full-time members of the sociology department. It is hoped, the College dean noted, that by 1971 this number will be increased to five.

Fr. Davis stated that during the past year, a number of experts in the field of sociology, including Dr.

Senate Seeking Loan F or Used Book Store

by Jon Davis The used-book store moved

closer to reality last week as the undergraduate student government secured storage space and sought a $10,000 loan.

The act establishing the bookstore, submitted by Chip Murray (At large '71) and Tom Matava (SLL '72), was passed by the Student Senate last month. Implementation procedures were delegated to the Facilities and Services Committee, chaired by Greg Spinner (ColI. '73).

Spinner consulted with Robert J. Dixon, director for student activities, in his effort to receive the loan. Previously, the student government had received permission to use Healy basement for book

,-

storage. Spinner had said that "it was

not a debatable issue whether a used-book store was desirable or not. It was only a question of getting one."

Should the loan come through, the store will be operative in May, buying as many used books as the $10,000 will allow. In September, the store will sell used books to the students for their first semester classes, according to Spinner. In January, the cycle will be completed when the store buys books which were used during the first semester and sells books needed for the second semester.

The prices for all books, bought or sold, will be strictly determined by Barnes and Noble catalogues, Spinner said. In addition, all books owned by the bookstore that are no longer needed by Georgetown students will be sold back to Barnes and Noble.

According to Spinner, the UsedBook Store will make enough money to pay back the $10,000 loan in September. In January, the store will be making a strict profit.

Spinner asserted that the bookstore will be run as a student government activity. Any profits derived from the operation of the bookstore will be "reappropriated to other UniverSity organizations," Spinner said.

"We can't lose," Spinner explained. "Even if the bookstore does not make any profit, students will save money by buying books at lower prices."

Paul Reiss of Fordham University and Dr. Frank Edwards of Howard University, studied the status of sociology at the University and recommended to the College Executive Council that a major in sociology be introduced as soon as possible.

Fr. Davis stressed the fact that the proposal still must have the approval of the Rev. Robert J. Henle, S.J., University President, and the University Board of Directors, but expressed optimism concerning the outcome.

Prospectus: SFS Report

DEL T A: Student As 'Nigger' by Don Walsh

Springtime is in the SFS, and apparently students haven't been flaming enough recently. That's a sure sign that the Prospect crowd is getting together another organization; and behold! DELTA is born.

A delta is a mathematical symbol for change; and DELTA professes itself to be simply "for change." Originally set up primarily to keep students interested in the SFS comings and goings during the softball season, DELTA is now aiming at a "new orientation" of student thought. "We've got to get them more concerned," a group spokesman recently said.

DELTA is composed of most of the old "50-50 ExCo" crowd, a few collegians, a few of the old "Friends"-the people who really show some interest in what goes on and in who's pulling the wool over whose eyes.

There's little time left for anything this year, but t hat isn't worrying DELTA. Their planned program is centered on two ideasa concerted information flyer campaign and a "peaceful, lawful, yet attention-getting demonstration."

The flyer campaign is already underway. Late last week, students began distributing copies of an article entitled "The Student as Nigger" by a California State (Los Angeles) teacher named Jerry Farber. It opens wit h a mildly polemic statement: "Students are niggers." When one finishes it, the first thought is "Gee, wow, like it's all as its says-students are all oppressed, beaten down, and trodden-upon by powermad, perverted faculty members."

However, a second or third reading will probably show that the author has illustrated his point using isolated examples from only two schools. And I'm sure that for every example of faculty malpractice one can come up with, there must exist a dozen examples of healthy faculty-student relations. Not that everything is always good -it never is. But you can't construct a tight argument for total faculty oppression using such a limited scope as has Farber. The value of the piece lies in that most students will only read it once, and probably a good many will accept

its speCific examples as sufficient documentation for general conclusions. And this way, many stUdents will get the idea that DELTA wants them to get, namely that something is deathly wrong with American education.

I don't think its all that bad, and I don't think students are the "niggers" that Mr. Farber insinuates they are. Mr. Farber's students bend over backwards to go along with impossible and selfish facultv demands - few demands, if any, outside of passing courses and not infringing on others' freedom are made here. SFS stUdents can be proud that they aren't "niggers" in Farber's sense.

DELTA itself illustrates, as have

the Friends, 50-50 ExCo, and other groups, that SFS students don't blindly roll over and play dead before the faculty. SFS students have been asserting their collective rights for more t han two years now, and it doesn't look like they'll be stopping until the goal of "quality education in a quality school" is reached here. And student power isn't centered in the SFS here-every school in the nation, including Cal. State, has seen it in some form.

Don't stop working for your school, listen to DELTA and to the others. They have good ideas. But unless you give it ad e qua t e thought, don't take everything that you read too seriously.

Three File For Election To Goldenring Seat

Three students are running for the College Senate seat of John Goldenring (ColI. '73), who was recalled last week by his constituency.

Stephen M. Axthelm, Fred Fejes, and Trevor Ricards submitted petitions this week to the Senate election committee, which was organized last week to supervise the speCial May 1 election.

Axthelm, when discussing his reasons for entering the race said, "I think the entire student government is a farce. I want to expose this farce, or if possible, find some way of making it useful to the vast majority of students here.

"I think that the inadequacy of the present Senate was demonstrated in its failure to pass the Apr. 15 support resolution," he added. "The student government has to take the initiative in passing legislation of interest to the students, and they've failed to do this this year."

Fejes' platform stated that, if elected he will do everything in his po~er "to see that the Student Senate is abolished." Saying that he had decided "to make an issue of the present Senate's uselessness," he concluded with the idea that "if we are to make any kind of progress, the Student Senate must go."

current "student alienation from the Senate." Starting a program of personal contact between students and their senators is his basic premise for campaigning, he added.

John Goldenring, in assessing the reasons why he didn't file to seek re-election, commented, "The job isn't worth it. Politics at Georgetown is just a big game, and I won't volunteer twice for a useless job."

He added, "The Senate is a powerless organization which has done next to nothing and has the power to do next to nothing."

However, Goldenring mentioned that he would "volunteer for some job if Mike Thornton wants me to."

Ricards, who also ran the move to get Goldenring recalled, said of his action, "It wasn't a personal vendetta. It was simply a reaction against the way the votes were cast; after all, only 82 votes were cast for Goldenring, while 89 went to other write-in candidates."

Fejes disagreed, saying that he thought the recall represented a "personal insult as well as a vendetta against Goldenring. I personally think he was a fine senator."

Q[htr~ 1foftfon Explaining his reasoning, he

cited the Senate as "big when it comes to words, minute when it comes to action," saying that it had done little in regards to 50-50 ExCo, student voice on rank and tenure, or ROTC.

Ricards, in a recent interview, called "a lack of communication betw~en senators and their constituents" a major reason for the

Joe George, president of the Senate, backed up Fejes' statement, saying that Goldenring had "participated over and above the call of duty. All I know is that Senator Goldenring has been an outstanding senator."

Goldenring said last week that the recall motion doesn't make any sense. He commented that "you recall a person who's done a bad job, not just because he ran unopposed. That's kind of silly."

COlTIlTIunication Or Confrontation? Fr. Henle's decision this week to establish

a University dialogue group as a vehicle of communication and information is a good one in that it will most certainly increase his knowledge of the c~mpus he controls. However, we find his method of forming this committee an affront both to the student government and to the entire undergraduate student body.

The University President has decided that the undergraduates with whom he will meet will include Michael Barton, Matt Crosson and Mike Thornton. However, he named only one faculty member, Dr. Valerie Earle, leaving her the right to select three more of her colleagues. Only one other student will be added, and she (for it must be a woman) will be chosen by Dr. Rueckel.

Needless to say, this is a blatant attempt to deny to the student body president his right to name student representatives to such committees-a right clearly given to him by the undergraduate constitution. Furthermore, in selecting Crosson to sit on this group, Fr. Henle has directly ignored the wishes of the student body, who rejected the College junior last February.

We do not mean to imply that Crosson

would not contribute geratly to such a group. In fact, Thornton has said that he might well have nominated Crosson to the committee if that right of nomination had not already been taken away from him without just cause.

In his memo concerning the committee, Fr. Henle wrote, "At the present I am meeting only with Mike Thornton and whomever he chooses to bring and I do not believe this is an effective vehicle of communication and of information for myself."

It seems as if the University President has gone out of his way to insult Thornton. The student leader's weekly meeting is not held to inform Fr. Henle. Its purpose is to discuss and debate student requests and/ or demands. Hopefully, both presidents have already been well-briefed before the get-together occurs.

Finally, Fr. Henle's statement seems to imply that the weekly meetings will end. If that is so, no glorified dialogue group will be effective in conveying what the students need and want. If the meetings are abolished, the President will have taken a step away from communication and toward an inevitable confrontation.

Right Church, W rang Pew-The Student Academic Board also offered

an important proposal this week (see page 14). Like Fr. Henle's statement, it has some merit. However, some of its provisions are even more ill-considered than the University President's unfortunate suggestions.

The SAB has suggested that the student government take $10,000 from the student activities budget to hire Mr. James Greene to teach at Georgetown next year. This would mean that every student activity would lose five percent of its funds.

We believe that the SAB has come up with an interesting idea; it has merely bungled the implementation of that idea. To begin with, the student activities budget is already much smaller than it should be. A five percent cut could seriously hinder the operation of many extracurricular organizations. Sec-

ondly, while we believe Mr. Greene to be a fine teacher, a disturbingly large percentage of his students do not. It appears that in an effort to help a man who has been unjustly punished for his political views, the SAB has ruined what could be a fine proposal.

We believe that the student senators should reject the recommendation as it stands now. Instead, they should approach the Administration for additional funds to hire a teacher who would be selected by a student committee on the bases of his scholarship and, most importantly, his teaching ability. Perhaps if the students can find a man who will make a genuine contribution to academic life here, our case will be strengthened for representation on the University Rank and Tenure Committee.

Collegiulll PolitiCUlTI The students of the College and the School

of Languages and Linguistics are to be congratulated; they have finally found a way to streamline the democratic process by eliminating the need for elections.

The principle is a simple one: When there's only one candidate for a position, there's no need for an election. The SLL has adopted this maxim whOleheartedly-two weeks ago its academic committee elections were called off when it was discovered that everyone was running unopposed.

The College was not as lucky. While its seat on the Academic Board attracted only one candidate, there were two (count 'em, two) men vying to represent the Class of '72 (always a hotbed of academic concern) on the College Academic Council. After a furious campaign, a full eight percent of the College student body turned out to vote.

Since apathy is a much overused word, we'll merely accuse the College and the SLL students of political expediency.

Rostru1n GEORGE ON THE SENATE

I would like to take this opportunity to make a few comments on various statements directed at the student government in last week's editorial.

I concur that the Senate met for three and a half hours without accomplishing anything more than routine committee work. In the present structure of the Senate, the committee work brought to the Senate floor is a necessity. For the past two weeks, I have been studying various proposals for restructuring the Senate in order to shift more of the burden to individual committees imstead of the entire Senate.

In all fairness to the Senate, it must be noted that the Senate has passed many important resolutions which have not been reported by the various publications on campus. The Senate has also been very responsive to the resolutions submitted through student initiative. All students have the opportunity to address the Senate on any topic and introduce any new legislation.

A resolution submitted by Rob Holt concerning the ROTC situation was withdrawn prior to its discussion. Senator Holt withdrew the motion because so few of the Senators remained until the end of the meeting. It must be noted that fourteen senators left the meeting prior to its conclusion. The attitude, general interest, and performance of some Senators during meetings has been very disappointing. It is unfortunate that Senators cannot find the time to represent their constituencies for the duration of the Senate meetings.

Regarding your allegations directed at the Appropriations Committee and allocation of the Senate, Woman's Liberation was budgeted because, as stated in their constitutiOn, the organization is "SOCially and culturally oriented." YAF was denied funds because in the estimation of the Appropriations Committee, the Senate as a whole, and you (judging from your statements in the editorial) , they are politically oriented. To allocate funds for the YAF would set a precedent for allocation to all political groups on campus.

Any group on campus-political or otherwise-may bring speakers to campus and obtain funds from the Speaker's Fund of the Student Government, as the Young Republicans and Young Democrats have done this year. Allocations for special programs can be made from the Contingency Fund of the Student Government on an individual basis.

Statements directed at the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee are much more serious. Mr. Buniva and the Appropriations Committee deliberated the allocation in Committee. The report of the committee, approved by all but one of the committee members, was not to allocate funds to the YAF. The report contained all the facts and findings; it was accompanied by a minority report recommending allocation; all pf the

Letters to the Editor • • •

SINCERE To the Editor:

After reading the front page article on the "Goldenring affair" and your editorial in the last issue of The HOYA, I feel prompted to write this letter of explanation.

The fact that I was a candidate not long ago for vice president of the Student Government, along with my roommate Mike Litton, seems of very little significance at this time of the year. However, I feel that the reasons for our official withdrawal were never made known to those people who promised us their support. The chief reason was that, after deliberation and discussion of the situation with my friends, I decided to withdraw, and thus was forced to leave Mike in a very embarrassing position.

I couldn't and still can't see any purpose for the Student Senate's existence on this campus in its present form. Whether this is due to the nature of the system or to the natures of the senators now in office, I do not know, I thought we might have been able to improve the condition of things by offering two able-minded and sincere workers, such as Mike and myself. I realized (too late) that even this would be to no avail in attempting to salvage something of value from what now exists.

Something must happen. Rather than increasing the number of bureaucratic commISSIOns, committees, and the like, why not seek a sincere, honest group of workers who are willing to set goals and do their best in pursuing those goals. It is my opinion that this is certainly not the case now. Can anyone of the senators honestly answer the question: "What next?"

DESPAIR To the Editor:

Dan Gioia CoIl. '72

While reading the latest edition of The HOYA, I was overcome by a feeling which can only be described as despair. This feeling was not a result of the attack levelled at the appropriations committee and myself as chairman, rather it was because this editorial expressed the present priorities on Georgetown's campus. Is the fact that Women's Liberation received $120, while YAF was denied its request really worthy of an editorial statement from The HOYA? What of student's rights, what of the University Council, what of educational reform? We are here to receive an education. There is a general discontent on this campus with the education received, yet to my knowledge, there have been few editorial statements from The HOYA concerning the discontent. The HOYA does not even recognize that such a thing exists! Now I am being compelled to defend myself on an issue which I consider of secondary importance at best. So be it.

As was stated in the minority report on Women's Liberation, "There is a clear and definite distinction between political movements and social movements, and we believe that the Women's Liberation Movement of Georgetown University falls under the realm of the latter, much like the Black Student Alliance." The YAF, however, is a political organization. The fact that a political organization wants to put on a "Conservative Education Project" is no reason for it to be funded. An education project run by a political organization is necessarily going to be for the furtherance of that organization's political viewpoint. ~ a result, a political theory will be espoused with the aid of St .1-

dent Government funds. The precedent not to fund political organizations was established by SAABSA and was maintained by

the previous Student Senate. The appropriations committee and the Student Senate were merely trying to maintain that precedent. I do not feel that the precedent has been broken. If my colleagues disagree and move for reconsideration of the YAF proposal, then the Senate is obliged to fund the YD's, the YR's, the ADA, and GURU as well.

The charge that my political beliefs influenced me to the extent that I deliberately misled my colleagues is completely unfounded and malicious. The fact that we were discussing an "education" project was made known through Mr. Paronick's minority report if by no other means. I might add that the other members of the appropriations committee must have felt that this point was adequately represented since not one of them offered to elaborate on it in debate. It is true that there was little mention of an "education" project in the majority report, but this point seems irrelevant in light of the fact that the proposal was for a "Conservative Education Project" sponsored by a political organization for the purpose of furthering that organization's political viewpoint. I vehemently deny the charge that there was a deliberate attempt on my part to mislead my colleagues.

Appropriations Committee

ILLOGICAL To the Editor:

As a former newspaper editor, I am shocked by your latest editorial "Total Recall" (a clever enough title though!)." It is one of the worst examples of irresponsible and illogical editorializing that I can remember. When you decide to come off the wall, you certainly do it in style. Though I have ignored The HOYA's previous mistakes and have not responded to them because I already waste more than enough time without sounding off in print, I can't let this editorial go by.

The Senate is a weak institution. As a Senator, I ought to know, and I've said so. What is shocking to me is that The HOYA is so inept, it can't even properly criticizE' the Senate. The one and only area where the Senate has shown total effectiveness and competence is in appropriations. Why in hell do you pick that area as a center for your attack?

YAF is a political organization. As such it will not be budgeted. However, if they wish to get money for speakers, they need only apply through the Activities and Events Committee for money from the Student Government Speaker Fund. This fund is open to any and all recognized student activities. If they have other special projects they can ask for a special appropriation from the Senate Contingency Fund. The editor of The HOYA surely must be aware of these facts. If he is not, hE.' better do some checking. It might even help if he talked with some of the Senators before flying off that aforementioned wall.

Further, your ad hominum attacks are disgusting. Brian Buniva is one of the hardest working Senators. If it weren't for him, the Appropriations Committee would not have held new budget hearings at all. (I also wish to remind you that Buniva reported on behalf of a committee, not on behalf of himself.) Joe George has devoted himself unstintingly to student government, no matter how worthless that devotion may be. He is an integral part of that student government and makes a fine choice to sit on our latest "University committee." I think it's just terrible that he doesn't agree with Fr. Henle, don't you? Finally, Roger Cochetti, who formerly sat on the ROTC Committee, is totally honest and devoted

to the cause of students, as his position as chairman of the 50/50 Committee shows. But then I guess he doesn't agree with Fr. Henle either.

The Senate will deal with the ROTC question at a special session April 26 where it can be given proper and undivided attention, especially in light of the latest "student referendum."

Finally, I suggest that the conclusion of your editorial is hopelessly laughable. First, this Senate is far better than the old one, whatever that proves. If the Editor-in-Chief bothered to corne to more Senate meetings, he might have noticed that senators are far more independent t his tim e around. They will not be cowed by Mr. George, or by that ridiculous compendium called "Roberts' Rules" which can turn a two-hour session into a four-hour massacre, if strictly followed.

But all that doesn't mean a thing. The real problem is that the Senate has no effective power in the first place. That's the real weakness, Mr. Editor. If you're looking for miracles to spew forth from the Senate, someone ought to recall you. You can replace Senators from here to eternity, and not a damned thing will change. How about a constructive proposal instead of flailing about with your fly-swatter? The Senate must be abolished or drastically changed. Got any ideas? As things stand the Senate is jtcst another powerless committee.

You say the senators move on the basis of "emotion" or "whim," but the Senate has been so cautious that it has more inertia than a Sherman tank. You say "they spend so much time talking that they forget to think about what they are saying." I'd say your verbal cutting edge cuts both ways. Instead of railing on about the Senate's inadequacies, why not propose a change'? Why not think about what you are saying?

And, considering the poorness of your editorial, not to mention the fact that you managed to miss some of my major points and to twice misquote me out of context in your article on my "parietals bill;" before you do anything else, why not clean up your own house?

GOD'S GIFT To the Editor:

If you have the courage to print this letter, be prepared to add another page or two to your paper. I have been reading your editorials for almost a year now, and I have finally come to the point where I must speak out against the attitude of moral self-righteousness only too apparent in your editorials.

Your Off-ROTC-Part II editorial is the immediate cause of this letter. You criticize the ROTC Committee for not going far enough. Have you ever given thought to the possibility that you have gone too far? I want to examine some of the speCific points you made in that editorial. The "evasive reasoning" of which you accuse the ROTC Committee is by no means the least of your offenses.

A) Is ROTC immoral because it supports the Vietnam war? You totally neglected the premise, that the war is in fact immoral, except to say that the entire committee joined in opposition to the war. First, I would like to point out that the committee members were not necessarily opposed to the war on moral grounds. But secondly, even if they were, the Special University ROTC Committee is not God's representative on Earth and has no right to decide the morality of respective issues for Georgetown students in general. This goes double for the editorial board of The HOYA.

Then you contend that the committee's argument concerning the fact that ROTC existed before

and will exist after the Vietnam war and therefore cannot be judged on the basis of this war is "evasive reasoning." You say that ROTC allows the United States to participate in wars which, 0 m'gosh, even the ROTC Committee admits are immoral.

Then you say that "ROTC was once valuable in training officers to defend the country," but that our government policy is no longer one of defense. This is absurd. Obviously, if our military policy is not to defend the country, then our policy must be to not defend the country, in which case I wonder what all those missiles are for. If, as is probable, you meant to say that our military policy is aggressive rather than strictly defensive, then up to a point I would agree with you. I might point out, however, that there is absolutely ro reason why the United States should not take an active role in foreign affairs. Indeed, it must do so.

B) Is the military establishment in general immoral? The committee says no, you say yes, and cite in evidence a newspaper. Which newspaper? If "Quicksilver Times" is your source of information, then I can understand better where some of your nonsense comes from.

But again, you never tell us why the military establishment is immoral. You just sort of assume that this conclusion is evident to all of us. Just as a point of information, it is not.

C) Does ROTC act as a liberalizing force upon the military establishment? You cite Mr. Thornton's statistics to the effect that nearly all top military men are West Point graduates. To an extent this point is valid. However. keep in mind that most ROTC graduates don't want military careers and do not stay in long enough to reach the higher echelons. Discrimination within the armed forces is not the problem. It is vital that the means be available whereby someone who does want to make the army a career can do so without going through military indoctrination.

D) Should Georgetown students have the right to partiCipate in the ROTC program? This question you don't even answer. Instead, you come on with the almighty innuendo. Because ROTC allows the Vietnam war to continue, and because the purpose of the Vietnam war is to prevent the Vietnamese from determining their own future, you conclude that we should not allow ROTC on campus. You are right about the Vietnam war. It is about selfdetermination. However, you have the sides switched. The United States is in Vietnam to assure the South Vietnamese of their right to free choice, a choice which the Communists wish to deny them.

E) As for the referendum, I agree with you that everyone should vote. Personally, I support the committee report, and I believe the majority of students will also. At least this time, it will be the students who speak, rather than a self-appointed guardian of

RECONSIDER! To the Editor:

The Senate has, of late, demonstrated its inability to be objective in dealing with the funding of campus organizations. Using tactics vaguely reminiscent of the McCarthy era, they voted overwhelmingly to deny the request for funding advanced by Georgetown's Young Americans for Freedom chapter.

By way of a somewhat dubious line of reasoning, that august body reasoned the funding of Women's Liberation appropriate while deeming the YAF request to be of a political nature and therefore unacceptable. YAF, it seems, will have to look to other sources. It is our contention that the real reason behind the Senate's action was the personal political bias of the individual senators and their failure to conduct any sincere inquiry into the nature and purpose of the projects that YAF proposed.

It goes without saying that the political mood of this campus and its representative body is decidedly "liberal," which in and of itself is fine. The problem, however, is that only a very few of the mass are open-minded or even concerned enough to let their beliefs be challenged. As a matter of fact, a good many of these are only reacting to their "repressive" childhood. All of this combines to create an intellectual atmosphere that cannot even compare favorably with that at Visitation. We believe that the Senate should be acting to allow the greatest exchange of ideas possible, regardless of how their personal philosophies are constructed.

In light of this situation we believe that it is only proper for the Senate to reconsider its ruling, in the interest of impartiality and fairness. It would require the smallest amount of honesty on the Senate's part to admit these two inconsistencies: 1) their advocacy of action relative to the Moratorium and the Three Sisters Bridge controversy and other issues is in direct contrast with their new-found desire to avoid playing politics and 2) they could very easily establish guidelines whereby YAF would be required to use their appropriations for the educational projects that they have proposed. With just a little more effort the Senate can now move to correct these inequities. We are optimistic that the Senate will see clear to reevaluate their hasty decision.

W Olllen' s Lib Sponsors 'Mixed-Media' Progralll

by Elaine Brousseau The concerned, the curious, and

the blatantly unsympathetic turned out at the Hall of Nations Monday night, Apr. 20, for an educational program sponsored by Georgetown Women's Liberation. The presentation, billed in flyer announcements as an "Introduction to Women's Liberation," attracted a good-sized crowd of roughly 200 persons, including a small but noisy contingent of placard-bearers.

The "Introduction" began with a "mixed-media" presentation consisting of a slide show and accompanying recordings. The film moved along quickly as it probed the various facets of women's oppression.

According to the program, conditioning for the role which the woman will assume in society begins early. Through education she is mentally groomed, encouraged to pursue her interests along certain socially acceptable channels. Songs such as "You Are Woman, I Am Man" and "I Will Follow Him" indicated the extent to which male supremacy and inbred attitudes prompt the woman to seek identity and fulfillment vicariously through a man.

Woman is dissuaded from entering male-dominated, h i g h I y competitive professions. Even for the qualified, discriminative hiring practices and the lack of equal employment opportunities present serious problems.

The film continued with an exploration into the sex-exploiting role which the advertising industry plays in positioning woman as simply a mindless body, a commodity, a very saleable item.

In politics, women are allowed only a token voice in the malecontrolled power structure. The

League of Women Voters, for example, was cited as largely a nonpartisan educational organization with no real power to effect policy or fundamental change. Women have only meager representation in government proceedings that decide the legality of abortions, an issue that affects a woman's control over her own body.

Having lost faith in the present system, the more radical offshoots of the Women's Liberation Movement advocate socialistic revolution as the only operative way of gaining and maintaining their goals.

The representatives of Georgetown Women's Liberation, however, do not actively advocate all of the views expressed in the film. They continue to emphasize their grass-roots character and basically apolitical position, adhering to the view that the cultural undercurrents of the movement transcend politics.

Commenting specifically on the situation within the University, Glori Kerstein (SLL '70) remarked, "Here at Georgetown there is a real and concrete problem for the woman student." The crux of her argument focused on admission policies; in particular, the existing quota systems in the College and the School of Foreign Service. Miss Kerstein also called attention to the unfair distribution of scholarship aid among SLL students.

However, there is an even "greater problem," Miss Kerstein continued. "The belief or hope that women can fulfill demanding roles in leadership is non-existent." The Georgetown Women's Liberation is concerned with a wakening both men and women on this campus to the present inequities and the attitudes which underlie them.

Attitude Called 'Chauvinistic'

Black Lethargy Criticized by Wendell Robinson

(Ed. note: The follo'Wing article is one of a series written by Mr. Robinson. The views expressed are his and do not necessarily represent those of The HOY A's Board of Editors.)

The second Black Awareness Week 'at Georgetown University marked a significant change in trends of Black cultural weeks. During that week of planned events, Apr. 13-19, it was almost as rare to see a Black face at the events as it was to book Adam Clayton Powell. It has been traditionally held that Black cultural weeks at predominately White institutions usually bring out the Black students in large quantities. The lack of such cultural events geared to Blacks is usually so scarce that such a week, when performed, brings out all the Blacks to enjoy these events.

Most Georgetown Blacks hold an almost unprecedented position for apathy, egotism, general lethargy, and reply that they have better things to do than go to that week. As a result, the week had about an average of nine Blacks for each day of the week, although there are at least 50 Black undergraduates in this schoo!. In most instances the poor showing of White students at these events would tend to enhance the Black students' effort to help form a common bond between the Black and White stUdents in understanding each other's cultural differences and peculiarities.

However, when your own Black students won't even support your own events there is a tendency to question the validity of your efforts. I am now sure that in my past articles in which I have brought out disparities, injustice, and racist attitudes of Whites toward Blacks, I should have geared my efforts toward helping unite and rally support within my own race. Since I have already commented on the low chauvinistic attitude that the majority of Blacks at Georgetown have for the light of their own kind, I intend to encourage the diligent, earnest, and energetic Black students who arranged this week, not to be discouraged by lack of support of your' own race but to continue to try, to decide, to perform and fear not that position which requi res decision, responsibility, leadership and innovation.

The few Black students that care shouldn't be deterred by lack of numbers; as the saying goes, "Do your own thing." Open up

channels with other Black students at Howard, Am e ric a n, George Washington, Catholic and other institutions. Ally yourself with them, attend each other's events and don't feel ashamed and embarrassed because some of your own race deny you because they feel safe, now that they have been accepted to a top-notch White institution.

In conclusion to those majority of Blacks at Georgetown University that care less about Black people and think only of themselves, I say God bless you and rejoice that you're not at the University of Alabama, Mississippi or

Georgia. When and if the Georgetown University White student body ever turns against Blacks like they do at some southern schools and seek to ostracize you socially, politically and economiaclly, where will you run? When the professors start coming down on you, and when the Administration starts dismissing you, where will you run?

It is one of the most ambivalent divergents in history when students from predominantly Black schools in a city over 71 percent Black can't find a common bond with their own race at a predominantly White institution.

Birch Bayh Discusses Problems Of Pollution

by Garvin Walsh Sen. Birch Bayh (D-Ind.) spoke

at Georgetown on Earth Day, Apr. 22, as part of a nationwide effort to educate people to the current problems of environmental pollution.

Sen. Bayh, whose presentation was the main event in Georgetown's partiCipation in the Environmental Teach-In, was introduced by the Rev. Robert J. Henle, S.J., University President, as "the kind of leader that you, graduates of Georgetown, should be in the future."

The substance of Bayh's speech consisted of a brief discussion of the effects of pollutant forces in America and a call for a single agency to coordinate all anti-pollution. The problems of air and water pollution merited specific mention.

Bayh cited studies which indicated that the content of impurities in the air in many cities exceeded "safe" limits many times over. Los Angeles, where trees are dying because of unclean air, was described as the worst offender.

The effects of water pollution were described by Bayh as being

so serious that there is "not a single major water basin in this country which is not polluted." According to him the effects of industrial and human pollutants are so serious in Lake Erie (a "Dead Sea") that the bacteria in the water which are provided by nature to fight limited pollution have been completely eliminated.

Bayh then addressed himself to the necessity for a national effort to fight pollution. Commenting that "it's going to take a major national commitment as far as resources are concerned," he called for a single federal agency to coordinate all such efforts.

He compared the anti-pollution fight to NASA's program to reach the moon. Such an agency, through which we could channel all of our resources, would need "the authority to say 'Thou shalt not pollute'" in order to be successful, Bayh said.

Aside from Bayh's rhetoric on Cop ley Steps, Environmental Teach-In sponsored other events on Earth Day. These included a downtown march, a rally at the Washington Monument, and entertainment provided by Pete Seeger and the Chambers Brothers.

dents, or, in reality, the interests of the school that are paramount? The mere fact that 50/50 won the Executive Committee vote shows that the faculty is not solidly united to act only in its own interests. Rather, these men are guided by their dedication to the Foreign Service School. It is not in the interests of the faculty, nor that of the students, that they be associated with a mediocre institution. Because of this, there must be a mutual respect and trust between faculty and students-not a mini-form of class struggleand a realization that with their experience, they will attempt to reconcile special interests and broad aims.

The interests of the faculty and students are the same-to make this institution the best. The School of Foreign Service is a permanent thing. The faculty represent that permanent aspect; the students are at best here for four years, their very presence is highly temporary. It would seem that the faculty is in a better position to represent the long range goals of the students, even better than the students themselves. How can we as students who are just experiencing the world around us determine what is needed to best prepare ourselves for the fields of international relations, economics, finance and trade? . There is a time when guidance IS most helpful. If we have chosen the School of Foreign Service because of the preparation it offers then we should be willing to en~ trust our education to those who

First of all, I was in favor of appropriating funds for Y.A.F., for I was aware that their purpose was not political, but rather educational. Why didn't I make that known? Simple! Most people -as was quite evident-were just turned off when those three letters (Y .. A.F.) were mentioned. I reframed from making a statement at that time in the hopes that soon all political organizations at G.U. would be united and ultimately funded by the Office for S.tudent Activities, thus creating a SItuation similar to the one at Yale.

If these suggestions are effected, then I'm sure a direct relationship will result between the number of thefts in the old system and the number in the new system. Since the old system isn't working in Loyola, why should it be continued?

First, in the matter of identification or definition of political groups, the YAF implies that the BSA, Women's Lib and Environmen~l Teach-In have "political leanmgs." There is a sharp difference between the acceptance of varied support and encouragement and outright partisan commitment. All interest groups accept help wherever they can find it as long as it serves their p'.lrposes. Thus, they are compelled to be non-partisan in order to be valid and effective.

The problems with that committee, and its chairman ~ere quite }ustifiably emphasized In the ~dltorial; however, the Senate dId call a special session for the following Sunday (April 26) to be devoted entirely to ROTC.

In conclusion, let me state that ~he Senate is not perfect, nor are ItS leaders, and that its meetings are long-but what groups are not. My fellow classmates of the Clas~ of 1972 knew they were not electmg. a .God who could solve everythmg m 10-minute meetings I am the first to admit that I ~ not so perfect.

To the Editor: For two years now I have acted

like a typical Georg~town student and passively read the inane remarks published in this column written by disgruntled student~ and alumni who over react to concerned students' anger concerning the business ethics of Mr. Richard J. McCooey. March 12's letter from one Robert G. Casey has made me take pen in hand.

Mr. Casey who doesn't have the cc:>mmon cou:-tesy of addressing hIS equals (If not superiors) as "Mr." is obviously obsessed with the "anti, anti-establishment" trend that is so fashionable today, which is his right, but Ire· fuse to watch a worldly wise member of the College class of '68 vc:rbally disassemble Mr. Maya Without demanding equal t·me.

Mr. Maya is a personal friend of mine and on that basis I feel I am a bit more qualified to interpret his actions than Mr. Casey. The question as to whether or not Mr. McCooey is skinning Georgetown students and the smaller faction of other customers is not ~eally important. I imagir.e, that IS. the reason the prices are so hIgh, the service is terrible and ~he f~ is revolting, that again IS neI~her here nor there.

These three groups are cultural and education organizations because their fundamental purposes are such. All three represent interests which concern people of the Right and the Left. The presentation of aspects of black culture is to enhance everyone's educational background; and involvement in and communication with inner-city affairs is a sociological extension of academic life. Women are discriminated against by people of every political persuasion imaginable. Certainly, with the earth as polluted as it is Leftists and Rightists shall chok~ side by side.

If, for example, Women's Lib and anti-pollutionists come in contact with elected officials it is only because their CalJS~S are doomed without legislative action, not because their movements are political per se.

Further, the YAF excuses itself from being caned political because it does not endorse candidates. At this time, the same is true for these three groups. I

Don't you think it was frightfully clever of our benevolent government to have increased their chances of landing our boys on our lunar surface by 75% by aiming at a full moon and not a quarter? But she didn't smile either. No one is happy with u.s.

And so. Do you happen to know if the same person who puts the little stickers on large bananas started the hoax about having a good time with the skins? The new library had no information.

Yes, but finally. Where are our security police when we need them-to arrest those vicious violato~s of Title 22 of the D.C. Code, SectIOn 22-117? Any university liberal enough to tolerate kiteflying can surely have no scruples over grass, etc. Don't the same violent and dirty people do both? Or does kite-flying destroy the grass? Really, what's the story?

EXCO DOUBTS To the Editor:

Within a period of two months we have seen a great deal of activity on the 50/50 ExCo proposal. During this short span of time the idea was first proposed, the~ thousands of leaflets were handed out, corridor discussions were held, an information booth was set up, a petition was circulated attracting two thousand signatures, the proposal was discussed twice in the present SFS Executive Committee, and a subcommittee has been designated to incorporate the idea into the Committee's constitution. After this intensive flurry of activity we are left with some doubts as to the merits of all this.

The proposal, as we understand it, is simply to have an equal representation of students and faculty on the Executive Committee. It is maintained by the leaders of the "ad hoc" group supporting this proposition, that the needed educational reforms could not come about under the present committee because of the "token" representation of the students. Because of the "power dominance" of the faculty, they will vote in their own interests rather than that of the students.

We question this contention that the faculty is so monolithic as to consistently vote in their own interests. Is it the interests of the faculty, the interests of the stu-

ments. As students we have three representatives on the Executive Committee to make recommendad~tions from a student point of VIew, Why is it necessary that we hold one-half of the voting power? And why such an urgent appeal and demand for decision? The five weeks of activity have been directed solely at getting the proposa.l pushed through, not at disCUSSIon and evaluation. The CORE faculty proposal had been evaluated and discussed for a full year. Has 50/50 been as thoroughly reviewed?

Questions about it have arisen: Will the Executive Committee be composed entirely of students and faculty? What about the administrators who presently sit on the committee? What about alumni representation! Is there a danger that "student reforms" will lead to such a degree of electivization that the international studies concentration will be lost in the shuffle? Will the student representation in reality represent the students? How will they be chosen? I~ light of the meager participation by students in past academic committee elections, is it possible that a small articulate and activist group could take over the entire representation? However sincerely they may hold their views would they in reality be repre~ sentative of the student body?

We question the urgency with which this proposal has been put forth and accepted. And we ask only that the discussion be not yet termina ted.

Ambassador Steeves Named As CSIS Executive Director

by Harry McFarland Ambassador John Steeves has

been named the new executive director of Georgetown University's Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). He is replacing Dr. David Abshire, who was appointed Assistant Secretary of State for Congressional Relations. Ambassador Steeves was the Director General of the U. S. Foreign Service until his retirement last July. Prior to this he was the U.S. Ambassador to Afganistan.

Steeves stated that the center is primarily concerned with research, not teaching. Therefore, he asserted, it doesn't have much "direct contact with the undergraduate students at Georgetown." But it "indirectly" benefits them in a number of ways, Steeves said. "Most importantly, it gives many faculty members the opportunity to do research; the knowledge that they gain from this eventually filters down to their students." Furthermore, the center has been able to bring a number of guest lecturers to the campus.

He also noted that the Center serves to heighten Georgetown's prestige. It does this by printing widely-acclaimed studies, such as the recent "Portuguese Africa," with the University's name on them.

In past years the center has shifted its emphaSis from military to socio-economic problems and area studies. Ambassador Steeves said that he will continue with

'Celebrity Auction" Prizes To Benefit Scholarship Funds

A "Celebrity Auction" featuring such prizes as a top choice in room selection regardless of Quality Point Index will take place this Saturday evening with all proceeds going to the Benjaman Banneker Fund.

The auction, sponsored by an ad hoc student committee, will he held in Gaston Hall from 7 :30 until 10 :30 p.m. Each individual offering, such as the room selection, will be valued at a minimum figure. Students will then proceed to outbid each other under standard auction procedure.

On the same night, the group will sponsor an informal dance in New South Cafeteria from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. Admission for both the auction and the dance is 50 cents per person.

Other items slated to be offered on the block include United Airlines shuttle tickets, interviews and lunches with national and University V.I.P.'s, full board for one year, and unlimited use of a carrel in Lauinger Library.

The auction is based on a similar idea used at George Washington University three months ago, where one of the top prize items was a lunch with Martha Mitchell. According to Scott Friedman (ColI. '73), a spokesman for the committee, the auction will hopefully become an annual event.

Other members of the committee include Al McIntyre (SBA '73), Carey Peck (SFS '72), Helen Dumas (SFS '72), Kevin Brennan (SFS '71), and Rae Hoffman (ColI. '73). The Rev. Royden B. Davis, S.J., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, is serving as faculty adviser.

Friedman mentioned that since the auction is taking place during Parents' Weekend, students might encourage their parents to attend with them. The Banneker Fund, which will receive all proceeds, is a student-supported trust fund organized to send disadvantaged local youngsters through Georgetown.

this reorientation. The decision concerning the nature of projects to be undertaken will be made by the Research Council, which consists, according to Steeves, of "recognized scholars in a number of different disciplines." Dr. Phillip Mosely, an expert in the field of international relations, will soon head this council.

The Ambassador was adamant about maintaining the Center's independence. He wants it to be "a free association of scholars" who can do their research without pressure from the Center's contributors or anyone else. Steeves said that, because of this desire for independence, he will continue the Center's policy of not accepting government contracts.

The Center makes an annual expenditure of roughly $500,000.

Steeves said that it doesn't take this money from University funds, instead it must find its own contributors. This has proved increasingly difficult lately because the country has lost much of its concern for international affairs and is now concentrating on domestic issues, he explained. However, the ambassador is confident that interest in international affairs will soon help to rectify the Center's financial problems.

Steeves said that there is an increasing attempt by the Center to involve scholars from the particular region being studied in its "area studies." An example of this trend, Steeves said, is illustrated by the recent Canadian study "where more than half the people working on the study are Canadians."


Last week's "Earth Day" activities prompted the proliferation of propaganda about the University campus.

I once tried to study in Randall Reading Room (which is open all night, at least) but it was so crowded, uncomfortable and stuffy that I had to leave. Ah, there's always one's room! Fat chance. To begin with, it's by no means big enough for two people (I'm in New North which I hear was once all singles). Sharing even a big room with someone else can be annoying, and there seems no choice but to live off-campus. My roommate is fond of studying with the record player on, which I can't do, but I don't want to bug him about it. So I go to study in the library. You know the rest. It seems that this is one problem that the administration could solve with little more than a memorandum. WHY NOT?

INSENSITIVE To the Editor:

It is extremely difficult for a theater audience to distinguish between the playwright's intentions, the director's interpretation, and the actors' capabilities. For this reason particularly, I wish to make the following statement.

The Mask & Bauble production of AMERICANA '64 in no way represents the intentions of the playwright. For example, the script called for a "grown man," not a smart-aleck adolescent; for a lonely, hysterical young girl, not a retarded seventh-grader. The di-

We would like to take this opportunity to make a progress report regarding the work accomplished by the Steering Committee for the University Council. Unfortunately, we must report that no progress had been made.

Since our confirmation by the Senate we have contacted Father Henle's office three times. Unfortunately, Father Henle has been tied up with other business and outside the office.

Dan Altobello, Secretary of the University and Special Assistant to the President has disclaimed any knowledge of the membership of the Steering Committee or the date of its first meeting. Dr. Valerie Earle, President of the Faculty Senate also disclaims knowledge of the formation of any such committee; Father Henle has not informed her of the committee, nor requested nominations from her.

The office of the President is dragging its feet in bringing about needed reform in University organization. We cannot tolerate inaction on his part. We are prepared to spend as much time as necessary in initiating the study for a University Council-that is if we ever get the first meeting of the committee.

POOR JUDGMENT To the Editor:

Apparently the 1970 Junior Prom Committee recently paid $500 for the weekend use of McDonough gym. Although they profess no objections to the charge, most certainly they should have at least one: Not four months ago the gym was donated, free of charge, for use by a similar "festive gathering." War Moratorium Marchers, you will recall, were allowed to organize there.

Now it seems to me, that if University property can be used indiscriminately by such patently political and nationally debated groups as the November 13 marchers, then surely it can be put to use, without charge, for a traditional gathering of the University community-one with a far less explosive intent.

I think Fr. Henle has shown poor judgment by charging the Prom Committee, while at the same time loaning the gym without cost to others, who do not attend the school, and who represent political means and ends not desired by all in the community.

LIBERAL BIAS To the Editor:

I was personally distressed, though not very surprised, to read in the last issue of The HOYA of the refusal of the Student Senate to fund the YAF's Conservative Education Project. In this respect, I am in complete agreement with the author of the article.

Though I would question the propriety of allocating funds for the purchase and distribution of conservatively-oriented books, the request for the funding of a speaker's program seems entirely reasonable, and of considerable potential benefit to the Georgetown community. The projected speakers: Ludwig Von Mises, Russell Kirk, and others, are figures of national stature whose contribution would benefit any speakers program, and who may be thought to be highly representative of the conservative viewpoint.

And to be sure, any truly rounded program should include representation from all viewpoints, conservative as well as liberal. In -this case, the Student Senate's rejection of the YAF proposal on the grounds that it "espouses a political philosophy" reflects a narrow liberal bias on the part of the Senate, thereby undermining their already shaky credibility. It similarly reverses a corollary prejudice against the conservative view. Further, are we to believe that the Senate's funding of the Black Student Alliance, its resolution on "campaign GM," its agreement to' house visiting students on campus during the anti-war demonstrations, its funding of the women's liberation front, etc., etc., do not represent a clear "political philosophy? "

I would not question these deciSions, yet in the interests of pure fairness and of its responsibility as representative of the whole student body, the Student Senate should, I believe, reconsider its decision. Such a decision would be in keeping with the long-honored prinCiple of academic freedom and the independent neutrality of the University. Indeed, once

a university becomes committed to the propagation of a single political philosophy, it becomes an instrument of ideology, a closed community, and so condemns itself to death as an institution of academic merit.

GUI.LIBLE To the Editor:

Regarding the efforts of Campaign GM, it appears to me that the committee's efforts are very tangential and bright-like the sparks from a tool against an emery wheel. These cool fast into useless dust.

Also, General Motors is not the only guilty one. Since about 1935, the trend has been to bigger and bigger automobiles. And, advertising agencies have found and plowed the fertile field of Public Gullibility.

5. Add to this the cruel fact that corporations are man-made bodies without souls who habitually over-engineer their finances and under-engineer their engineering.

This last is the reason our railroad systems have gone to pot and our airlines are beginning to hoe the same row.

These are the things I believe stockholders should tell corporations they want corrected andmaybe-how to accomplish it.

Maybe a good place to start all of this improvement would be for the public to chastise itself into better and more conscientious concern with our government, and daily deeds.

duced them on production cars in 1924.

Studebakers, Ford and GM spent millions of dollars yearly from 1925 through 1934 telling the American public why they would NEVER-NEVER put murderous hydraulic brakes on an automobile. Today no car is without them.

Almost all American and some European cars use Eaton rear axles and Eaton "knee-action" front end suspensions. A 1950 to '55 series of Jaguars used a rear axle directly interchangeable with a Buick. Rolls-Royce used-may still use GM fluid drive transmission and Lockheed Hydraulic Brakes.

The major difference in the cost of producing a Cadillac and a Chevrolet is the cost of the body dyes and the "cutting patterns" for the upholstery. The materials ARE NOT of better quality. The SOCiety of Automotive Engineers and American Iron and Steel Institute metal specifications are the same for both car's bodies. Body units per dye or pattern determine costs.

The body design is no better. In fact, safety statistics will prove a Cadillac Hard Top Convertible is one of the most dangerous cars on the highways.

Also, contrary to prevailing opinion, increased weight is not a safety factor in an automobile. Actually it is a hazard where manueverability is desired, e.g., in turns and in braking at high speeds.

The most important factor governing roadability and riding qualities is the ratio of spring to unspring weight. Theoretically, a car with a weight of 10 pounds above the springs and an axle weight of one pound would be safer and afford better riding qualities and maneuvering qualities than a car with an axle weight of 1,000 pounds to support a 3,000 pound body.

Buick found this out years ago when they had a massive rear axle and cantilever rear springs. Their competition twisted their slogan into, "When heavier automobiles are built, Buick will build them."

Most of the aware and astute automobile designers refer to GM products as Lead Sleds.

Numerous things caused us to go size crazy:

1. Misinformation and vanity played a part. A 1939 Ford 4 door sedan was a larger, more powerful automobile than a 1929 Cadillac V8.

2. Bootleggers and gangsters had a big influence. More than we think. Also, movie hero worship.

3. Appalachian Mountain Moonshine Runners started over pow-


members of the Committee were in attendance at the meeting to comment on all aspects of the budgetary request. Any member of the student body could have spoken on behalf of the organization at the Senate meeting, as representatives of other organizations did. Neither Mr. Buniva, nor any member of the Appropriations Committee made any attempt to conceal any aspect of the YAF request. Such an allegation is unfounded.

Mike Thornton has appointed a large number of Special Assistants; these are to aid in his attempts to communicate with the student body and executions of various tasks. Each of the Presidential Assistants was interviewed by the Steering Committee prior to the Committee's report to the Senate. The Steering Committee approved all of the nominees, as did the entire Senate.

Roger Cochetti and I were appointed to the Steering Committee for the University Council. Roger has demonstrated himself to be one of the most capable student leaders in the realm of educational affairs. Philosophically, his ideas of the role of the student in the University are in agreement with those of Mike Thornton and myself. His identification with the 50/50 movement results with his belief in certain fundamental concepts of the role of the student in the University.

In regards to my "inability to communicate" with top executives of the University, I find it most difficult to have rrieaningful dialogue with top executives who misrepresent actual occurrences, who organize confidential meetings while in negotiations with student leaders, and who willfully violate the rights of the students. Unnecessary conversation with top executives is a waste of time, especially when we do not have a strong power base as a foundation. We are concentrating efforts to build a strong base of student support. Talk, in itself, is cheap.

I view University reorganization as the main priority of my involvement with student government. I feel my chief efforts should be directed at this goal. The Student Senate, as we stated during the campaign, will have to "clean its own house" in order to put itself in a leadership position.

You are correct in saying that "Generalizations are almost always unfair to someone." Your suggestion for total recall will not solve the problems of the Senate.

Although the personnel involved is a contributing factor in the demise of the Senate, it is not the main reason for the problems of the Senate. The Student Senate should surrender its overriding concern for be· ing representative; "The group's primary problem at this time is that it is entirely too representative" of the undergraduate student body.

The Senate should attempt to lead the student body, if we are to accomplish anything at all. It's about time for the Senate to encourage the direct participation in· side of student government by all interested students, if student government is to succeed.

The State Of The Art On Campus by Will Keenan

Acting Features Editor "The Jebbies use a Rembrandt

to cover a crack in the community kitchen wall," scorns a cynical sophomore.

"They are hiding several millions worth of oils in the Jesuit attic," decries a neighboring Georgetowner.

Rumors and half-truths abound throughout the University and the surrounding community about the art treasures supposedly rotting away in the corners and spires of the Hilltop. To determine what Georgetown has and does not have is the responsibility of Prof. Clifford Chieffo of the fine arts department in his new position as curator of the University's art holdings. Together with his assistant, Miss Judy Sobol, a student at George Washington University working for her masters in museology, Chieffo is attempting to discern what are the treasures and what are nothing more than troubles.

"There have never been any really valuable paintings in storage here at Georgetown," explains Chieffo, in a resolving tone. "But there have been some 'sleepers.'''

By a "sleeper," Prof. Chieffo is referring to a painting which is not an actual masterpiece in terms of world reknown, but is of good quality and may have some relationship to something valuable. For example, Georgetown does not possess an actual Rembrandt. It does, however, own a copy of a Rembrandt and what appears to be a very old copy. Among the collection is a painting by Sir Peter Lely, a student of Van Dyck; even Washington's National Gallery does not possess one of these. In the opinions of both Prof.

Chieffo and Miss Sobol, the most valuable painting owned by the University is the original "Portrait of Archbishop John Carroll," by Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828). A student of the American school, he went to London in his early youth and became a pupil of Benjamin West. Gilbert is known as the outstanding portraitist of the Federal Period.

In all, Georgetown owns approximately 135 paintings and be-

tween 140 to 150 objects d'art (i.e. clocks, statues, and pieces of furniture). The number of prints in the collection ranges between 50 and 60. How much is it all worth? Well, it is hard to say exactly because not all of the works have been authenticated.

"A very pessimistic, scanty estimate would be $300,000," Chieffo says. Yet he speculates that the sum value could total up to $750,-000.

"We just don't know yet," he concedes.

Not all of the gossip floating around about mistreatment of the art is without a valid basis. Six years ago a minor flood in the basement of the Healy building caused about $1,000 worth of damage to five paintings and destroyed one entirely. Today, however, the more valuable art is temporarily hung in the Treasurer's office, the College deans' offices, and the offices for undergraduate admissions. Carroll Parlor in the lobby of the Healy Building also houses a great number of art works.

What future does Georgetown hold for its art?

In the near future, specifically this Parents Weekend, Prof. Chieffo intends to have all of the parlors and offices in White-Gravenor open to the public.

At one time there were plans to loan out Georgetown's paintings but Chieffo is now opposed to this.

"I would rather have the paintings on campus for art scholars to come and see, rather than have our students go elsewhere to examine them. There's a certain value in being about to take the paintings down off the wall and to be able to touch them and to examine them from all angles."

Next Christmas is the predicted completion date for the transformation of the fine arts department in the Healy Building. The changes planned are among the fonowing:

The vault in the present archives will be turned into a display room for a collection of historical objects related to Georgetown. There

A Rembrandt? "Portrait of a Gentleman" was described by Erik Larsen, former head of the Georgetown Fine Arts Department as being a genuine artwork. Professor Chieffo disagrees.

is an especially fine collection of Civil War memorabilia.

Outside the vault, in what now constitutes the museum, will be built a permanent display of paintings. The present art gallery will be utilized for traveling exhibitions, original exhibitions by new painters in the Washington area, and the student exhibitions that are presently on display there.

Prof. Chieffo would like to have students employed part-time to oversee the exhibits, which he would like to have open to the public on a regular basis, seven day a week.

The "stacks" will be utilized by the fine arts department to provide individual stUdios for the fine arts majors. This will give Georgetown a unique advantage over other universities offering majors in fine arts.

"It is difficult to get studio space for graduate students," says Chieffo, "and to offer it to undergraduates is unheard of!"

Prof. Chieffo, as chairman of the fine arts department, has no

plans for graduate courses in the various fields.

"There are a number of good graduate schools in the area of the arts but no good undergraduate ones. Our plan is to treat the undergraduate students as graduates."

But in the meanwhile, Prof. Chieffo and Miss Sobol are engaged in a "search and seizure mission" to find all of the paintings on campus and to make an inventory of them. An interesting point raised by Chieffo is that often the fram on a copy of a painting will have been made by the artist who carved the frame on the original. Several of these are around the campus.

But while not all of the paintings have been identified, Prof. Chieffo makes one point very clear, "there is nothing of value under the Jesuits' mattresses, nor is there any treasure rotting away in the damp corners of Healy." Art at Georgetown is alive, safe and getting better.

"Portrait of a Jesuit," by Van Dyck. The execution is thin and extremely fluid, with hardly any use of "impasto," even in the face and the hands. They are, nevertheless, powerfully modelled and highlight the soberness of the "ensemble."

"Bet A Million" Gates, a legendary folk hero, once observed with great feeling and perception that all horse players and gamblers must die broke. Cool Breeze, prominent Washington numbers writer (emeritus), would probably agree with that. He's been playing No. 729 every week for the past three years without a hit. That's a lot of quarters and dollars down the drain, and they've all gone to the service organization he was formerly associated with-the numbers game.

Playing the numbers is a big business in Washington, like in any other American city. It's not so much the amount of money involved as the terrific number of people participating. According to Cool Breeze, "You can count all the people on one hand that don't play the numbers. Everybody plays, even Senators and Representatives, and they collect when they hit. Business is always the same, you do okay in good times and bad." While nobody can take all of Cool Breeze's words for scientific facts, there's no doubt that the system is widespread.

All kinds of people in every section of the city play the numbers. They're not stereotyped Boob McNutt kind of thugs and gangsters, but average people like clerks in dry cleaning stores, bartenders, retired folks, housewives, barbers, and laborers. They just like to bet 25 cents or 5 cents or 10 cents or 15 cents or a dollar on their favorite number.

The whole operation is quick and efficient. By night time, the bettor knows whether he's won, either from the early edition of the morning newspaper or from responsible storeowners who are considerate enough to post the day's number next to their cash registers. Another method of alerting the public was through the verse and chapter numbers of Biblical selections on a gospel radio show, but that had to be discontinued when the FCC caught on.

The number itself is not so easily derived; it comes from the third digits in the sums of payoffs for the third, fifth, and seventh races, if you can figure that out. The odds on winning (1000 to 1) are comparable to those that would be quoted on a 330 pound jockey and hits only pay 600 to 1 at best.

Naturally with so many people interested in numbers, a large network of writers, runners, pick-up men, and bankers are required. No one really knows exactly how many people are involved in Washington. One reason is that anyone can start writing numbers or financing an operation. It's a wideopen industry with plenty of opportunity and little discrimination.

With this Independence, a numbers writer can do pretty well for himself. He gets a quarter or 30 cents on every dollar's worth of slips he sells. And whenever there's a hit, the runner gets 10 per cent of the bettor's winnings. Until his retirement seven years ago, Cool Breeze knew all about sharing in some lucky guy'S winnings.

The music was good, so long as Hampton remained on the Vibes. When he moved to the drums which he played most of the time: all other sound was drowned out. As a natural result, the music degenerated to the lowest level of the term. The beat was there, it was easy to dance to, the audience was drunk, and a rather mediocre evening passed without event.

"It's a good job and good money," he recommends, "writers are never suffering for money. They're popular in the community too. A lot of them drive great big Cadillacs. It's a soft life-there's no work to it. You can play pool and hustle all day. Christ, I was in a pool room the other day, and there were 10 or 15 writers there, and all of them was making a living. Everybody don't bet with the same writer, you know. Even old grandmothers are writing numbers."

The numbers writers all work for one banker or another, and usually they are particular about just who, because the banker can be a pretty powerful guy. For one thing, he finances the entire operation.

Some of the bankers are just small-time independents, handling takes of $4000 or $5000. But there are big motor scooters too, dealing in thousands of tax free dollars and controlling huge enterprises. Sometimes the big fish even become immortal in a kind of Numbers Hall of Fame-long-ago men like the Warren Brothers, Reggie Martin, and Earl Carter in Washington.

Financially the weekend looked bad. In ~rder to make up for this, the JUUlor Prom committee cut all the corners they could on Saturday. The gym was not redecorated and apparently not cleaned up from the previous night. An unidentified group was "playing" on the regular stage-it has not yet been discovered what they were playing, but it was a far cry from music. After this punishment from the hot, over-crowded gym floor, came the sounds of "The Dream," "The Fifth Avenue Band's" replacement. All but the vocalist have talent. The composite sound, however, was also an exception to any definitions of music. They have potential, but need someone to put them together.

Outgoing Dean Mann Discusses S.F.S. by Don Walsh

The Rev. Joseph Sebes, S.J., resigned the post of dean of the School of Foreign Service July 1, 1968, and Jesse Mann, chairman of the University's philosophy department, was named interim dean while a search committee began screening applicants for thE: permanent deanship.

Twenty-two months later a permanent dean has been hired, and Dr. Mann nears the end of his tenure, looking forward to turning over the direction of the school to Dr. Peter Krogh. In a recent interview, the outgoing dean described his ideas on international education, discussed the varying problems he was confronted with, and drew on the lessons of these problems.

Back in the fall, a student-faculty symposium discussed at length the ideas and goals of the :::F~ without arriving at any definite agreement. One viewpoint called for a return to the exacting standards and curriculum of a professional foreign service training school as in the days of the Rev. Edmund Walsh, S.J., others called for the present, more liberally-oriented approach to international education without any specific training goal in mind, while still others desired a far more liberal program, with the abolishment of requirements.

Leaning toward the middle course, Mann stated simply, "The goal of the SFS is to present liberally-oriented, problem solving education in international affairs." However, he pinpointed a special problem of today's training, saying that the school should "seek to provide a sensitivity and a sympathy toward the underdeveloped world."

"It's an educational fantasy," he continued, "to ignore courses and lectures on such topics as racism, war, poverty, and pollution. I feel that in the future universities will have to stop dealing with the problems of professors in teaching only what they want to teach, and start dealing with the actual problems of men."

Views on Krogh, Henle Dean Mann did see hope for the

future, though, in reaching these education goals. The most important figures in realizing the full potential of a school within a university are ideas and abilities of the school's dean and the university president. He thinks both the incoming dean and the University president have the necessary attitudes for academic success here.

"The Rev. Robert J. Henle, S.J., University President has said, with clarity and eloquence, that he has an authentic interest in international problems," Dr. Mann said. "The President believes in the benefits of such a program. Like myself, he was a director of Peace Corps projects-this really helps." Concerning Dr.

Krogh, he feels that he "will concentrate on problem areas and will initiate the needed curriculum reform."

But more importantly, perhaps, are attitudes of the student body. A student body can't be passive; it can't be accepting. It must be questioning, curious, always investigating. It cannot tolerate poor or inadequate teaching, nor can it go along with antiquated teaching methods or teachers. It must have an active interest in the problems, goals and ideals of its school. Without this the school is only half a school, the faculty half;

Dean Mann recognizes this. He may be rare in this generation of embattled deans, but Jesse Mann is a definite liberal when it comes to the students. He calls for the "constant witness" of a student body "who no longer will memorize the reigns of British kings while ignoring starvation in Calcutta. Many faculty members recognize this; but they'll have to act accordingly."

There are problems here, of course. Dr. Mann stressed that a major impediment towards the goal of a quality education comes from students, "who, though sincere, feel that their limited view of the school is the right one, and who find it necessary to be fanatical instead of tentative. These people have to realize that there just might be another approach."

Original Intent "Another impediment is cer

tain faculty members," he continued, "who view every contemplated change as as one being det~ rimental to the original ideals of the school. Every reform that goes through the Executive Committee is seen by them as a betrayal of their interests. This is simply so that they may be more comfortable in their own area without ever having to confront anything different. These ideas must change if we are to have a unified school."

In discussing necessary educational reforms that will be needed here in the next few years, Mann said, "We should be more open in our approaches to learning. Other schools are realizing that ail edu~ cation doesn't have to take place in the classroom and the time has come for that realization to take place here. The assets for an international affairs education in Washington are endless-it's a tragedy that we don't take advantage of them. I hope that Dean Krogh will open up many new possibilities downtown with his success in government agencies."

Dr. Mann, in reviewing the present curriculum, saw three potential areas where reforms should take place as soon as possible. "The liberal education in international affairs demands a study in depth of the behavioral sciences -sociology, anthropology, and psychology, and we just don't offer the needed courses for such a

study. In addition, we tend to ignore the United States and American studies in our present curriculum. Its a form of folly to study world affairs without a clear grasp of one's own national problems. Thirdly, the freshman program, especially its language studies, needs immediate action.

"We're taking steps already to correct the deficiencies in the be~ havioral sciences," he added. "Next year, two cultural anthropology courses will be added; and with our new humanities elective program, more students will be able to take these courses."

Area Studies Dr. Mann, presently working on

an American studies program for the College, would like to see the implementation of a similar program in the SFS. Meanwhile, the academic committee's curriculum is presently working on an area studies program that will include the option for an American area program.

Possibly the most serious problem in the freshman year, the dean said, was the lack of an adequate program in certain areas. "I'd like to see a required, six-credit intensive course in languages for all freshmen, with a follow-up course the second year," Mann said, "thus giving students a fluency in a language-a fluency that is lacking today."

Getting away for the moment from the school's goals and the conditions needed to reach them, the dean discussed his own future plans, and looked over the major challenges of the past year. "After Fr. Sebes resigned," Dr. Mann began, "I accepted the position of interim dean. My qualifications were that I had served as the dean of the summer school, and had directed several overseas programs here in addition to my peace corps work.

Previous to his being named dean, Dr. Mann had taught philosophy courses in the SFS for ten years and served as chairman of the philosophy department. "I didn't submit an application to the search committee for the new dean," Mann mentioned, "because my field is philosophy, a liberal art. For that reason, I'd like to teach philosophy again, but I've had administrative experience, and I'd like to get back into administration, but preferably in a small liberal arts school. I'd like to finish a book, "Pragmatic Man" that I'm presently writing; a short rest is in order!"

It certainly is. J esse Mann served as interim dean in an extremely difficult period in the school's history; a period when students were instrumental in the reSignation of the last dean and were demanding many long-overdue changes; changes that often ran contrary to faculty opinion. Bitter debate and a great deal of suspicion were the results. However, despite the continued exist-

ence of many problems, most of the basic ideas have been resolved with most of the credit going to the dean.

Dr. Mann was faced with a necessity of solving several major issues, including the establishment of a core faculty, the search for a new dean acceptable to Administration, faculty, and students, and curriculum revision.

"The greatest challenge faced in path months," Mann said, "was to secure the core faculty. And I think we've managed that, as well as to secure the services of a fine new dean. The major difficulty was that the students and faculty had hardly ever met together in several years. But instituting the tradition of frequent Executive Committee meetings as well as general faculty meetings, served to open previously closed channels of communication."

"Such meetings are especially valuable," the dean added, "in order to examine all confiicting alternative solutions to a given problem. Without such meetings, everyone starts guessing what the other group is dOing, with the result of continuous suspicion. These meetings should counteract any SuspICIOn between student and faculty interests. It's better to work out differences than to suppress them."

Core Faculty The core faculty proposal was

passed a year ago after many months of discussion, but when little seemed to be done this fall, the academic committee and the Prospect group started an action campaign. Core faculty has now become a reality, and the students have started another campaign to get the study committee on 50-50 ExCo moving.

"I was very much for core faculty," Mann stated, "but I remain opposed to the '50-50' concept as it has been explained to me. As I understand the proposal, it calls for the establishment of an ExCo composed of 50 percent students to an equal number of faculty. However, many other people such as Administrators, admissions staff, and alumni should be represented.

"I definitely don't like the idea of only faculty and students on the ExCo. However, if the students want equal representation with the faculty, 1 could see it if the number of students and faculty together did not exceed twothirds of the total ExCo membership. This way all interests could be represented. As for other committees, I don't like imposing absolute equality. Some should have more students, others more faculty. Such groups as the selection committee worked very well with a faculty majority.

"What the students are trying to do is set themselves up equal to faculty power so they can oppose it. I'm sure student power is legitimate and attempts to in-

crease it are legitimate, but I don't see the immediate need to increase it as radically as demanded.

"Another like problem is the University Senate, which has no student members, making it essentially a faculty senate. There is little communication between the student and the University Senate now. A University Council idea, with representatives of students, faculty, Administration, and alumni would be ideal; providing that it has strong leadership. By open ,meetings of such a body, a new mutual, University-wide trust between all groups could become a reality."

Academic Independence

Looking back at the SFS, Dean Mann identified several major trends for future education. "There is an important shift dew toward more independent study; where students can set their own means towards reaching a given end. In the next few years, professors will be helping students to set goals and then watch the students reach those goals on their own.

"The regimentation in the present curriculum of many schools is on the way out," the dean continued. "Curriculum is becoming much less restricted, much more open, and not only here. Some courses can be completed with simple reading lists and paper requirements, thus putting the burden of education more completely on the individual student.

"I feel that there has been a shift in culture, away from achievement, while despising mere playfulness. A new culture is gradually growing in which achievement is slightly downgraded in favor of more serious moral contemplation. I think that this trend will be reflected in curriculum; students will want to get more emotionally involved in their studies, they'll want to go beyond the books and work actively with people and issues.

"Professors will more and more have to respect the capacity of students for personal initiative," Mann concluded. "Students will be taught to be mapmakers rather than being taught to follow maps already made."

In concluding the interview, Mann said that he felt that the WalSh school was "finally coming into its own. We've had some rough spots, but most everything has been resolved in what is to me a satisfactory solution. With the major structural reforms accomplished, Krogh will be able to turn his full attention towards curriculum reform, and I'm sure that he'll reflect his impressive capabilities," Mann concluded ..

Perhaps so, but Dean Krogh's capabilities would have to be extraordinarily impressive to surpass those of the man he is succeeding.

Lauinger's Parents Witness Library Dedication, Blessing


declared a doctor of humane letters. He is president of the W. H. Gunlocke Chair Co., Wayland, N.Y.

The library was even formally blessed from Gaston Hall. The University chaplain, the Rev. John E. Bennett, S.J., recited a prayer at the podium. Afterward Fr. Bennett stood outside the new building and sprinkled holy water on it-privately completing the Church's prescribed manner of imparting such a blessing.

Present in the Gaston Hall audience of some 500 were Joseph Lauinger's parents. Other members of the family also witnessed the dedication. Among them was 92-year-old Mrs. Helen Lauinger, of Tulsa, Joseph's grandmother. Her late husband attended the Georgetown Law School in 1896.

In addition to the Rev. Edward B. Bunn, S.J., now chancellor, two former Georgetown presidents looked on. They were the Rev. Hunter Guthrie, S.J., and the Rev. Gerard J. Campbell, S.J.

The ceremonies began with an academic procession. The various administrators were led by University Secretary Daniel J. Altobello, who carried the mace. After a Brittan march by the Georgetown Symphony String Ensemble, the Glee Club sang the traditional invocation, "Venite, Creator Spiritus."

Under the direction of Paul Chandler Hume, the Glee Club later presented "A Song of Pity, Peace and Love," following a text by Shelley, and Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair."

brarian's observations on the old facilities in the Healy Building. "He said that if he ever knew about the end of the world, he would come to the Georgetown library, because we were 50 years behind the times."

Mr. Jeffs added, "He's going to have to look for a new place."

In the dedicatory address, Dr. Penn commented on Lauinger's death. "Joe died a hero in a war that, to say the least, is highly controversial. My son, David, saw heavy combat as a Marine in this same war. Fortunately, with God's help, he came through safely. For his father to be asked to be a part of these dedication ceremonies is, indeed, touching."

The history professor traced the Georgetown library's development, providing anecdotes about Hie variou£ figures who contributed to its growth since Jesuit missionaries landed in Maryland in 1632 with a collection now referred to as "Catholic Refugee Literature."

Turning to the new facility, he said, "It is a milestone in the history of Georgetown. . . . Recent counts reveal four and five thousand passing through its doors daily. As one old library hand said, 'I have seen faculty and students I've never seen before.'''

Following Dr. Penn's address, the Chimes took to the stage. Led by Ephus Dave Durbin, the singing group numbered 20--twice its usual strength. Durbin, a Foreign Service School senior, explained that several Chimes alumni had returned for the occasion. Joe Lauinger had been an active

member of the group and, according to the ephus, "a great friend of all of us."

Before the program ended with the blessing and the Alma Mater, the Rev. Thomas R. Fitzgerald, S.J., academic vice president and master of ceremonies, warned that demonstrators had gathered outside the north entrance. He advised that the audience leave by the south entrance "if you prefer not to confront them or enter into dialogue."

The six protesters, however, regrouped at that entrance as the crowd moved to a reception in New South. All but one displayed a banner which read, "Ho Chi Minh Library." Among them was Rick Gilfillan, College junior, a candidate for student body president in February's elections.

Terrence J. Boyle, a 1963 Foreign Service graduate, distributed a flyer entitled, "The Hypocrisy of Henle." He claimed in part:

"Henle dares not state what made young Lauinger more deserving of honor than any of the other unfortunates. It is simply his family's money and the expectation that still more of it will go to G.U. So Georgetown and the Lauingers have marketed the memory of the boy and called it honoring him.

"All this year Henle has worn on campus a moratorium peace button. Where is it today? Was throwing it away part of Henle's selling out of Georgetown's library for Lauinger money?"

None of the crowd entered into dialogue, and the reception continued ru; planned.


The Joseph Mark Lauinger Memorial Library was officially opened last Saturday with formal dedication ceremonies taking place in Gaston Hall.

ROTC Motion Carried Following Short Debate

However, eventually they were

persuaded to return, and after a short debate the motion was carried 9-8-2.

In his welcoming remarks, Fr. Henle spoke of the Lauinger Library's importance. "n has bee:1 created with courage and great imagination," he stated. "n says something about Georgetown."

The president went on to note that "a library is the heart of an academic enterprise." And a new library "changes the dimensions of the institution. It adds a new dimension for faculty and students alike."

BLACK STUDENT ALLIANCE VOICE HEART, SOUL

by Mark Edwards I feel as though I am lost-lost in a world untold. I search for the meaning of life, only to find black clouds distracting my view. I need the love that I have lost but I cannot find the way. I once played the same by the rules, and for this I was burned. Now I play the same by my rules, in which everything is absurd. My life has no meaning but what I make of it. My soul will .find no 'eternity because I think not of it. My heart will die disturbed, as though it never existed. And I will die torn for the love that I once had and now is gone. What type of man lives to die, and what type of man dies to lived. Soul of a man lives when the body dies but in what manner does one existed. To Know God is to know life, and life is to know God. To lose life is to lose God, and to lose God one is truly dead!

Academic Board Recommends Professorship Appropriation

A proposal has been advanced from the Undergraduate Student Academic Board calling for the creation of a "student government professorship."

The purpose of the proposal, according to John Redman (SFS '71), a former member of the academic committee of the School of Foreign Service and a coordinator of the proposal, is to establish a program of study in which "the responsibility of learning is placed upon the student."

According to the proposal, Redman said, James Greene, an instructor in the department of philosophy, will provide "guidance" and will coordinate the members of the program individually in the particular discipline in which the student is interested. Greene, who has bEen active in the anti-ROTC demonstrations this spring, has had his contract terminated, effective June 1.

ment vice president and a proponent of the plan, has been quoted at $10,000 for one year.

In order to secure funds for Greene's salary for the new student government post, George has recommended a five percent cut from each student activity appropriated by the Student Senate. The student activities budget represents $188,000, according to Robert J. Dixon, director for student activities.

George's recommendation was opposed by Mike Thornton, undergraduate stu den t government president. He stated that he was "definitely against this method of funding."

"fonnal" proposal. However, Fr. Fitzgerald noted that he had "discussed the proposal casually" with George.

Fr. Fitzgerald implied that the course would not receive academic credit. "A course will not receive academic credit unless it is taught by a member of the faculty," he said.

The academic vice president also asserted that Greene would not retain any academic rank. "No faculty member would retain faculty rank upon the basis of student action, or faculty action, or alumni action, for that matter," Fr. Fitzgerald said.

Fr. Fitzgerald also mentioned that "fewer students will be taking philosophy courses next year because of curriculum changes in the School of Foreign Service." As a result, he said that the department will be "overstocked" with professors.

In addition, Thornton expressed reservations with the idea. "I have qualms about moving too quickly on this issue," he added. "If we are going to invest in a venture like this, the proposal should be well thought out," Thornton commented.

In addition, Redman stated that he doubted that the University Administration would approve of the plan.

Elaborating upon the substance of the academic program in present form, Redman asserted that it would be "academically rigorous." One of the objectives of the program, according to the SFS junior, will be to "maximize dialogue between students." The program will be problem-oriented in format, Redman said. "It will avail the student the opportunity to pursue his genuine interests,," Redman said.

College, Nurses Host Weekend For Parents This weekend, the campus will

host the parents weekend activities of the College of Arts and Sciences and the Progrediamur Exercises of the Scpool of Nursing.

The College, with the exception of this weekend's Nursing activities, is the only school sponsoring a program for the parents of its students. The other undergraduate schools either decided against hosting the parents or

were forced by a lack of time into tabling planning for this year.

In arranging the events and activities for the parents, Rev. Royden B. Davis, S.J., dean of the College, and Jim Duryea (C '72), chairman of the weekend, designated the topic, "The College:

Progress and Change" as the theme for the parents. In addition to the dean's meeting Saturday morning, there will be three discussion seminars in the afternoon to survey the state of the College.

The Rev. William C. McFadden, chairman of the department of theology, will discuss theology in the university; Dr. Dorothy Brown, chairman of the curriculum revision committee of the College, will discuss curriculum change; and a panel of five students will discuss their views on campus issues and answel' questions from the parent~,. The parents will also enjoy a number of social events and a special performance by the Mask and Bauble Society.

A minority report on the moral question was submitted by Roger Cochetti (SFS '72) and Mike Thornton, president of the undergraduate student government.

The report examines various contentions made by those who support the program. In answer to the statement that the ROTC program introduces a "liberalizing atmosphere into the armed forces, the report stated that cadets, even if they are more liberal, have no influence on the decision-making process of the military because of the chain of command.

In response to accusations that if the ROTC program is discontinued the right of free choice of students would be limited, the minority report stated that such a choice is not a right which the University is obligated to guarantee, but simply a way of fulfilling an obligation.

The report also holds that the maintenance of ROTC on campus is in violation of the UniverSity's claim to neutrality.

Cochetti, Thornton, Michael Gragert (Law '70), and Law Prof. Addison M. Bowman, have sent the Rev. Robert J. Henle, S.J., University President, a letter explaining that "Messrs. Bowman and Gragert stand opposed to the majority position on the moral issue. The letter explains that Bowman and Gragert "do not fully subscribe to the views presented in Mr. Cochetti's minority report," but "they do believe that the presence of ROTC, at Georgetown, is morally and politically unacceptable."

College, Language School Elect New Academic Reps

Eight percent of the College enrollment turned out and elected Tom Ambro (CoIl. '72) its representative to the stUdent academic board in last Friday's elections.

In addition, the School of Languages and Linguistics will be represented on the Universitywide commission by Rich Lolich (SLL '71). Lolich will also serve on the school's academic board with eight other members of the language school. Joining him on the '71 class academic council will be Patricia Kelly and Catherine Combier.

John Richert, Kathy Panahal, and Lynn Renz will compose the class academic council for the SLL class of 1972. The freshman academic representatives will be Paula Briggs, Susanna Sturgis and Greg Belli.

In the College election, one of four offices was contested. In that election, Ed Connor defeated Alan DiSciullo by a vote of 24-21 for the sophomore academic representative's seat on the College academic council.

Pat O'Brien ran unopposed for the '73 seat as did Kevin Moyhihan, who was elected class representative for the College class of '71.

Also outstanding on defense for the Hoyas was Alan DiSciullo. But he and his teammates could not prevent the only score of the game which came when a Penn State player picked up a bobbled lateral and returned it 80 yards for a score.

Offensively, Georgetown was a picture of frustration as the Blue and Gray ruggers just could not put over a score. Typical of the frustration was a play where Bill Oberdorf was stopped only two feet from the goal. He later made it across the goal, but was not allowed to touch the ball down.

To Rekindle Alumni Interest

Booster Club Proposed (Continued from Page 18)

University's willingness and ability to come up with the extra funds. Concerning Fr. Henle's position on the matter, Dwyer said, "I think he does not realize the importance of athletics, particularly in rekindling alumni interest in Georgetown." Like the other athletes and coaches, Dwyer is peSSimistic about the chances that the University will go much beyond its present commitment. The football co-captain said that he had asked Fr. Henle at the Athletic Board meeting to better define the University's position on

athletics, and, Dwyer said, "Fr. Henle COUldn't give me an answer."

One proposed solution to the financial bind is the proposed creation of a "G-Club," an organization of students and alumni designed to generate interest in Georgetown through athletics. A ten-dollar membership fee would provide benefits such as newsletters, decals, ticket priorities, and social functions for its members, and any funds over costs would be donated to supplement the athletic budget. The full plan is to be presented to Fr. Henle tomorrow.

Supporters of the plan are cautious about chances of its approval, however, particularly in the wake of the defeat of the Big Three proposal (which would have involved Georgetown in a co-operative basketball doubleheader program with George Washington and American).

GU Pitching Mates Bri/liant On Mound

The immediate overseer of any activity concerning the athletic program is Dr. Patricia Rueckel, the vice president for student development. She sees her role not primarily as a check over the Athletic Board, but as someone who can combine its decisions with other possible ramifications in student development and the rest of the University. Then, she says, "It's up to me to lobby at the top for these things."

Athletics takes about 42 percent of her student development budget. However, she believes that "intercollegiate sports are good for public relations and alumni, and they are good for the students who participate in them." Agreeing that the whole man is better educated through athletics, Dr. Rueckel admits, "I guess that's the kind of commitment Georgetown hasn't made."

(Continued from Page 20) year had allowed a paltry two hits in 20 plus innings of brilliant twirling. Mercier has always had good stuff, but this he has learned to control his pitches and his concentration. Mercier approaches a ball game like Paul Newman does a girl, with the utmost boredom.

In the varsity four-oared race, the Howard crew raced by the Hoya heavyweight four, the Hoya lightweight four, and the George Washington heavyweight four. The Georgetown heavyweight four had Andy Stoehr at bow, (2) Bill Gage, (3) Jim Favareau, stroke Lee O'Dea, and cox Kip Byrne. The Hoya lightweight four consisted of bowman Joe Madda, (2) Bob Weber, (3) Emmett Scully,

year between them. Nolan likes to start Mercier and come in with O'Brien after four or five innings. This strategy keeps both fresh and the opposition off-balance.

If the pitching has been powerful for the Hoyas, the hitting has been erratic. Yet even this adjective is an improvement over the previous season when the. hitting was non-existent. Center fielder Greg (The Savage) Lutcavage, O'Brien, and Captain Dick Zeitler have paced the Hoyas at the plate thus far. The "Hawk," first baseman Ronnie Beal, has been beset by robbery. He and O'Brien are the only long-ball threats on the club.

Base-running is a keystone to the Hoya attack. Led by the Silver Squirrel, Zeitler, the Nolan nine must scratch for runs. They have become known as the "Dirty Bunch," as much for their headfirst slides as their language.

The outfit is a colorful one. Maryland Coach Joe Jackson, for example, commented upon the marked improvement of Georgetown's baseball-fortunes this year. More importantly, the team itself believes it can win.

As rightfielder L. Bill McNulty put it, "With Mercier and O'Brien on the mound, we can beat anybody on our schedule." There are a lot of teams to beat this week.

When it comes to the decisionmaking process, Dr. Rueckel also feels that she should have some representative on the Board, not to participate in the voting but to keep her informed. In the past she has found her ability to support its decisions somewhat limited. She, too, sees cancelling some sports as a possible necessity if others are to be improved.

"Anything that engenders alumni interest is great," the vice president said, although she added that alumni relations were the most "political" of her dealings. Athletics naturally plays a major role in alumni affairs, but Dr. Rueckel pointed out the problems in weighing alumni desires in anything concerning a change in the program. From her viewpoint as an administrator, the total University picture presented serious conflicting interests toward athletiCS, especially in funding. Finally, she stated, "In terms of an institutional commitment, it's bigger than Fr. Henle."

Georgetown, Sports Don't Mix by RILS8 Gaspar

John Henry Cardinal Newman had an idea about 100 years ago concerning the role of the Catholic university in providing a wellrounded education, one that included athletics. According to Gary Lanzara, a soccer player and chairman of the Student Senate's athletic committee, Georgetown University no longer recognizes it.

"They look toward athletics primarily as a business venture," he complained. "They have no idea what it is to serve for the University." This is one common criticism of the Georgetown Administration's policy on sports, both intramural and intercollegiate. Some, however, even deny that any policy exists. Dick Zeitler, who is well known to baseball and basketball fans, said, "They're not concerned about sports at all, really-it's just there."

Whether the University Administration thinks about athletics or not, Georgetown coaches and athletes are convinced that the people in power have no idea of the worth of an athletic program to the education of a student or the well-being of the University community. As well, most feel that prevailing sentiment on the part of the faculty and Second Healy toward athletics is one of indifference at best and hostility at worst.

Integrated Athletics

"I keep getting an undercurrent around the University that somehow they feel that if athletics is not opposed to the academiC community, it is not contributory," was track coach Frank Rienzo's assessment. "1 feel that it's an integral part of the academic community in the same way as the psychology, philosophy, mathematics, or chemistry departments are.".

That OpinIOn is shared in the athletic department. Coaches believe that their field deserves the same status in terms of contribution to education as any other discipline. Intramural Director Geoff Falbey voiced their basic question concerning the University's approach to athletics when he asked, "Aren't athletics supposed to be part of the overall academic make-up?"

For those involved in the department and those playing 0:1

Hoya teams, that question has never been seriously answered. Because of this, there are few defined goals or purposes on a wide scale for Georgetown athletics. No decision has ever been made as to what will receive the most emphasis in the program-physical education, int.ramurals, or intercollegiate sports. Individual coaches set their own goals for their teams within the framework the athletic department provides in terms of money and equipment and according to the coach's philosophy on winning and development.

However, the lack of definition still worries the coaches. "I think there should be stated or implied educational goals for every facet of the University," Rienzo said. While some sports, such as basketball and track do have fairly clear objectives, the athletic program as a whole does not. In particular, the question of excellence is central.

Winning is the name of the game for athletes. Very often the quality of coaching is determined by it, and the success of teams to a large extent insures student and alumni interest in sports. Yet, with only a few exceptions, there seems to be little guidance from above in this area. To those involved, academic and financial situations seem to crowd out athletics and undermine a winning philosophy.

Georgetown enjoys a high academic reputation, and most coaches believe that the University could and should have a similar athletic rating. They point to the Ivy League and colleges such as Duke as schools that have managed both. Because they believe that a good student can be a good athlete, they see no need to jeopardize academics. Indeed, some feel that sports complement academic achievement. As Coach Steve Benedek asked, "How many athletes do you see flunking out of here? And how many have good QPI'S?"

Mediocrity

Yet in view of what seems to be neglect when it comes to sports at Georgetown, attainment of excellence in this area is distant. One coach asked, "Would we be satisfied with such mediocrity in any other area of the University?" Another pointed out that it is difficult to coach at GU because of an academic set-up that keeps players from practices because of late classes and laboratories. As a result, some sessions are held with less than half a team, a situation that is far from beneficial. The issue revolves around the willingness of the University to win; if it did decide to do so, it would have to pay the price of winning.

In theory, the decision lies with the University Athletic Board. Yet the Board has suffered in the past year from indecision resulting from its heretofore unclear relation to the rest of the University structure. At a meeting of the Board two weeks ago, University President, the Rev. Robert J. Henle, S.J., clarified that relation somewhat. He gave the Board a proposed constitution which states that the Board "shall establish general policy for athletics at Georgetown," subject to review and approval by the vice president for student development, and Ultimately by Fr. Henle himself.

Dr. Philip Herzbrun, chairman of the board, agreed that it was the mandate of the nine member

body to define University priorities in athletics. However, he added that any Board policy that could have serious repercussions in other areas of the University, or that would dedicate resources to uses that conflict with stated University purposes, would be subject to review under the recognized lines of authority.

Paying the price of winning could definitely go beyond the Athletic Board. Facilities at Georgetown are severely limited, particularly space. And any major increase in the athletic budget could upset the already delicately distributed University budget, which is expected to be in the red for the next five years.

None of the coaches or athletes expect a drastic change in University spending on athletics. When they talk about excellence they rarely envision expansion to a Notre Dame-type powerhouse. What concerns them most is the improvement of present programs. "The present programs, the programs that we claim we have, we do not," Gary Lanzara emphasized. Pointing to his own sport, he recalled that last fall his team didn't have enough soccer balls to conduct a practice. Soccer, although it has a varsity title, is not adequately funded or equipped to take on that status.

The same is true of other sports, among them lacrosse and crew. Both rely on outside funds and contributions from their players to supplement what is given to them in the athletic budget. For those teams that still retain a "club" ranking, all financing is from within or from sponsors outside the University. One rugger explained, "We enter as the Georgetown team. I think we ought to rate more than we do just because we represent the school." Rugby, although a popular sport, still has no University support.

From the athletes' point of view, then, it is a question of "we want what they say we can have." They see a fundamental inconsistency in granting programs existence while allowing them to run with inadequate support. This, more than anything, is the· concept of "mediocrity" in athletics that seems so out of line with other University programs.

Faculty Insecurity Student athletes find the facul

ty as a major stumbling block to bringing the program up to its proper level. "They're so worried they won't get their salary increases," said John Dwyer, a football co-captain and member of the Athletic Board. Gary Lanzara added, "Every time someone discusses athletics, there's immediate hysteria that GU will expand. There won't be any improvement until there's an attitude change on the part of the faculty. The faculty definitely has a negative attitude." The athletes also scoff

at the fears that Georgetown is, or will become, a "jock school." "They are so off base about this being a jock school that it astounds me," said Zeitler. "Georgetown is far behind a lot of places where it shouldn't be."

Coaches recognize the same reaction. Falbey commented that much of the University panicked when the Hoyas went to the NIT this season. That sort of reaction puzzled the coaches. It is among the questions that they would like answered; that is, does the University want a team that will go to the NIT regularly, or does it want a basketball team simply for the sake of having it?

However, the coaches see another problem in improving the program. Namely, there is no prevision for any member of the athletic department to sit on the Athletic Board. They resent being excluded from the decision-making process, especially because they feel that as professionals in athletics they are subject to the decisions of nonprofessionals whose only real qualification is that they are "interested." Their exclusion, they believe, does not allow for adequa te expression of the needs of the program nor enough expertise when it comes to voting on proposals.

Caught in the middle of the furor over improvement of the athletic program is Athletic Director Col. Robert Sigholtz. He is a member of the Athletic Board,

and of course must manage the finances for athletics that the University allots to him. He, too, would ,like a more formal statement of the "objectives and mission of the athletic department" in reference to University goals. "I believe that the athletic program should complement the academic program," he said. "In accomplishing this mission, what is it that they want us to do?"

Concerning the present athletic budget, which John Dwyer termed "pitifully small" (see insert), Sigholtz said, "I've tried, within our resources, to achieve excellence in all sports, especially basketball and track, because that is where they've allocated the most scholarships." He added, "Any budget increase we've had is mostly a cost of living increase. Of the $15,000 increase in operating expenses between last year and this year, only $6000 was beyond meeting just the cost of living."

At present the athletic funds make up 0.56 percent of the total University budget, a figure that is low compared to many other schools including Yale, Dartmouth, and Princeton. The 1970-71 Georgetown sports budget percentage should not change significantly. As a result, money management is important if the athletic program is to be improved in any way. The athletic director has stretched dollars to the limit in an attempt to benefit the various sports, but a legitimate question still exists concerning the future. "Do we want to participate in 15 intercollegiate sports," Sigholtz asked, "or eight, nine or ten and be excellent?"

Sports Improvements

A decision like this would be made, he thought, once the "mission" of the department was better defined. However, Dwyer and several coaches agree that sacrificing several sports could be a way to improving the others.

Sigholtz has other ideas for expanding gymnasium facilities, including more bleachers, refurbished locker rooms, and more outdoor lighting. Many of these depend on the size of the physical plant budget. He has also requested that a new intramural facility, including a swimming pool, be put on the next University giving fund drive's list of goals. There were no student recreational or athletic facilities on the last one.

Whether his requests will be granted ultimately rests on the

THE DOrA. Page Nineteen

SIDELINERS by Jim Keane

On the Upper Field last Saturday, they were preparing for a game called lacrosse, a combination of hockey and rioting. I was interested in the game because I had never seen one played. Anywhere.

I had a similar experience last year when, as a freshman who barely knew the two B's and the F in sports, I was assigned to cover a couple of rugby games. I had a slight advantage, then; I'd seen a rugby game before. I had, however, continued to wonder what they were trying to do. It looked as if one fellow had the misfortune to dive for the ball; he was then trampled by everyone except the referee and, in his desperation, could only escape by kicking the ball very far away from him.

Unhappy SAC Criticizes Henle's 'Big Three' Veto

These images before my eyes, I could only feel insecure as I sat in the stands before the lacrosse game. There were roughly 20 intimate lovers of the sport on hand when I got there. I didn't know that many more would wander in during the action. I was beginning to feel that Georgetown lacrosse, in its first varsity year, was simply not known outside of a small circle of friends. My early opinion wasn't shaken any when John Ashton, one of Coach Charlie Goodell's assistants, spied a fellow he knew who had arrived with potato chips and a brown paper bag of Schlitz cans, and asked him to keep game time. He really wanted to, I could see.

The Student Athletic Commission announced its opposition last Monday to the University administration's recent veto of the Big Three, an athletic proposal which would have involved Georgetown in a co-operative basketball doubleheader program with George Washington and American Universities. The SAC claims that the reasons given by the administration for the veto are weak and unfounded. The student organization plans to raise the issue at its general meeting this Tuesday in 208 White-Gravenor at eight o'clock.

The Big Three was an innovative and forward attempt to improve the Georgetown athletic program, both in quality and in terms of revenue. And it was turned down for very vague and contradictory reasons. We don't feel that we've received a fair hearing or an opportUnity to answer objections to the plan."

Dwyer and the SAC plan to petion the Athletic Board and the Student Senate to resubmit the doubleheader proposal to Fr. Henle. At its Tuesday meeting, the commission also intends to discuss possible Athletic Board and Stu-

dent Senate support for a proposed stUdent-alumni "G-Club" for athletics.

Other items on the agenda of the last SAC meeting of the year are nominations and elections of next year's officers, preparations for Homecoming Weekend, the present status of football season tickets, support activities for fall sports, and finally a motion to ask the University to provide lights for the Lower Field. All Georgetown students (male and female) are invited to the meeting. Membership in the SAC is open to anyone who wants to join.

Georgetown played Loyola of Baltimore that afternoon, and if the Greyhounds are lousy in basketball, they are that much better in lacrosse. Baltimore is the capital of the sport. Johns Hopkins has a perenially top-ranked team. The interest spills out into Maryland. Navy has the top team this year and the Terrapins are not far behind.

The players looked like gladiators with their metal-caged helmets and netted sticks. I asked the fellow next to me, "What do they call that stick?" and the fellow answered, "lacrosse sticks."

* Most of the action seemed to take place behind the goal. In announcing this decision on

the Big Three last week, the Rev. Robert J. Henle, S.J., University President, cited security, insurance, and tax considerations as well as the limited facilities of McDonough Gym as the factors which led to the Georgetown veto. Both American and George Washington had already approved the proposal.

Wildcats Squeak By Hoyas In 4 Mile Relay

In fact, Georgetown's first goal was scored when a Hoya guerrilla charged from the rear and swiped it in as he ran past the goal.

Lacrosse is not unlike hockey with its series of field lines that no one really understands. Georgetown was called a few times for being offside, and the players were sent off for 30 seconds. The big crime is high-sticking which carries a penalty of one whole minute. Georgetown had grabbed a quick 2-0 lead in the first quarter. Loyola scored one in the second quarter and then capitalized on a king-sized break when two Hoyas were sent off at the same time for high sticking. The Greyhounds scored right after that.

In response, the SAC believes that the provisions of the plan amply answer all tax, security, and insurance objections to it. The commission points to the example of the successful Big Five of Philadelphia, which overcame all the same difficulties as face the proposed Big Three. The SAC is also unhappy that neither the Big Five constitution, Georgetown Athletic Director Col. Robert Sigholtz, nor the University Athletic Board was consulted by the administration dUring the final delibera tions on the Big Three proposal.

Commission Pre sid e n t John Dwyer declared, "This is just another instance of University neglect and unconcern for sports.

Most of the yelling comes from the field and there is little fan response. Lacrosse has to be played to be really appreciated.

Crew Edges Marietta In Spite of Misfortune

In the face of whirlpools and crabbed oars, the Hoya varsity heavyweight crew strained its way to a come-from-behind victory over Marietta.

Lacrosse Squad Falls To Loyola

by Ralph Schoenstein Last Saturday at Kehoe Field,

Georgetown's lacrosse team battled the Loyola Greyhounds evenly for two quarters before suffering their third loss, 11-6. The Hoyas have won two games. Sophomore John O'Rourke and freshman Paul Howard, both midfielders, each scored two goals for the Hoyas. Pat McArdle and freshman Scott Purvis contributed Single scores.

hound midfieldmen were substituted singly instead of three at a time at the whistle, as is usually done.

The Hoyas often had a tough time picking up their men because their men had quietly left the field. Midfieldmen can be replaced singly without stopping the action. "It was the first time we had run across this," Altman stated. "Most teams don't do that."

Georgetown has three more games left on its schedule.

This Saturday the Hoyas play Duke away, a team that Assistant Coach Bill Guilfoyle considers very tough. The only home game of the three is against Baltimore County on May 5. The Hoyas conclude their season away against the Richmond Lacrosse Club on May 9.

by Gavin Viano As the crew season swings into

its last few weeks, Georgetown's chances for a Dad Vail Regatta victory and the small college championship that goes with it look as strong as ever. The optimism certainly was not diminished by the performances of Hoya crews against Marietta last Saturday on the Potomac. The Georgetown varsity heavyweights, freshman heavyweights, and varsity lightweights all stroked to impressive wins over the Marietta crews which are always top Dad Vail competitors.

The varsity heavyweight boat blew Marietta out at the start and passed Key Bridge with a comfortable one and one-half length lead. However, the Hoya eight was not destined to enjoy a joy ride. At the Bridge, the portside oar caught in a whirlpool, throwing the Georgetown boat off course.

By the time the Hoyas had recovered, Marietta had taken the lead. GU coxswain Page Jackson explained, "Marietta was taking its mid-race sprint which is why they were able to make up so much." Nevertheless, by the 1500 meter mark, Georgetown had regained the lead, only to have the number three oar crabbed. This threw the boat's timing off again, but only momentarily.

As stroke Mike Mason said, "It all came down to the finish," and at the finish the Georgetown crew was strong as it held off a fine Marietta sprint. It was an extremely close 1.2 second victory that was earned in the face of much adversity.

Rain Drowns Out Baseball Contests

by Brian Ward April is the cruelest month for

pitching rotations as well as poets, and the Georgetown baseball team unhappily learned that cruel fact last week. The Hoyas had their

entire week's agenda washed out. Both Thursday's game against American and Saturday's fray with Johns Hopkins had to be postponed because of rain and wet grounds.

Georgetown took advantage of Loyola's disorganized defense to jump off to a two-goal lead in the first quarter. The Greyhounds, however, got themselves organized and scored three goals in the second quarter to go ahead, 3-2. Loyola was down, 2-1, when two Hoya defensemen were sent off for high sticking and the Greyhounds quickly capitalized on the two-man advantage.

Although the Hoyas had lost their early momentum, they did tie the game twice, with a goal in the second quarter and a score in the third which made it 4-4. Loyola, however, scored four more times in the third quarter and twice in the last period before the Hoyas could score another goal, and Georgetown was doomed for the day.

Schwetie Sparks GU Win In Sprint Medley Relay

The rain postponements, together with tight scheduling, imposed upon Coach Tom Nolan's nine the Herculean task of facing five games in five days this week. Georgetown's horseh~de set donned the Blue and Gray Tuesday against American and yesterday against Navy. The Hoyas square off with George Washington today, face Richmond tomorrow, and meet Old Dominion on Saturday. Nolan may well be accepting volunteers for mound duty in Saturday's afternoon encounter.

"Our midfield defense was poor," asserted defenseman Kip Altman. The Hoya defense around the goal was hardly better. Altman pointed out that Loyola was able to take advantage of the Georgetown defense's confusion when the Grey-

by Mark Dobson "The coach was really happy.

It's hard to win at Penn in your first year of college coaching." In those words, senior Bob Schwetje probably summed up the general sentiment of a somewhat remarkable Hoya track team.

Just a scant two weeks ago most of the premier Hoya runners were down with the flu, including

Schwetje, Garth McKay, Paul Catano, Bill Barrow, Ed Zieminski, and Greg Ryan. As Barrow said, "When you get sick, you can't build back up in one or two weeks. It takes about four weeks to get the kinks out." However, last weekend Hoya relay teams took first in the IC4A sprint medley relay and second in the four-mile relay at the Penn Relay Carnival.

These six members of the heavyweight shell (from left), Mike Mason, Bob Crocco, Fred Pennekamp, Greg Caroll, John Devlin, and Erik Meyers, will join teammates Kevin Ostendorf, Mike Schwarz, and Page Jackson to defend the Hoyas' Dad Vail Cup on May 8-9.

Schwetje himself led the way for the sprint medley team as his half-mile anchor leg time of 1 :50.9 paced the Hoyas to a 3:24.2 time. For the jubilant Schwetje, it represented his best time of the year. He said afterwards, "We had two non-scholarship runners (Mark Doykos and Bruce Mason) on the team and were still able to win, which is really something at Penn since the best teams in the East are there.
