"The scholarship on labor'srole in international affairs hasbeen extremely poor," said Godson. "Only within the past fewyears has there been a new waveof thinking which is re-examiningthe roles of transnational relations: multinational corporationsand trade unions -as internationalactors."
Godson, who did his doctoraldissertation on labor's foreignpolicy, also said that while laborpursues a policy in its owninterest, this does not mean thatthere is no cooperation with theUnited States government.
On the contrary, Godson saidthat the U.S. Agency for International Development contractswith AFL-CIO overseas organizations for over $6 million annuallyfor foreign labor organizations andinstitutes. At the same time, headded, labor will use its influencewith the government to "go tobat" for trade unionists in countries such as the Philippines orSouth Vietnam.
According to Godson, the LL.P.is designed to prepare trade unionleaders (or making foreign policydecisions within their own spheresof influence.

have not even heard of it. Itsdirector calls it a "foreign serviceschool for labor leaders." And yetthe G.V. International LaborProgram (LL.P.) is entering itsthird year, producing seminars,conferences, and internationallabor policy to over 30 laborgroups across the nation.
Founder-director Dr. Roy Godson sees the rapidly expandingprogram as vital to the awarenessof today's labor leaders. "American labor has been involved ininternational affairs since the daysof the anti-imperialist positions ofAmerican Federation of Laborfounder Samuel Gompers. However, there is little material on thesubject, let alone educationalprograms," Godson said.
Godson, a professor of government, pointed out that the AFLCIO spends over $22 millionabroad annually aiding tradeunions in underdeveloped nations.While the organization has comeunder attack by many historiansand political scientists as aninstrument of American foreignpolicy, Godson denies this, claiming that the evidence is overwhelmingly against this.

In addition to Mountain, theApril 22 concert will include asecond act, with Spooky Toothtentatively scheduled to fill thisslot.
"When we book a second act,"Werner explained, "it's generallyup to the first group and theagency to pick the second group.Right now, both of them areleaning toward Spooky Tooth."
S.E.C.'s last concert, ThreeDog Night, held on Friday, March22, was considered a success byconcert director Bruce Feinberg.
"The concert appealed to asegment of the student body thatwe have been unable to reach withprevious concerts. In that wayalone, it would have to be termedsuccessful. But in addition to that,we made money, so obviously itwas a great concert."
The Mountain concert will bethe fourth concert held in theGym this academic year. TheS.E.C. has held a number ofsmaller concerts in Gaston Hallthis semester as part of their new,successful 'Gaston Hall Performing Arts Series.'

Gregg Werner, S.E.C. chairmanstated that "Nash wanted tochange the date to times that wereimpracticle for us.... He refusedto cooperate with us, and told usthat if he could not play thosedays, he would not play."
Crosby had earlier backed outof the date citing personal problems. "We are now concentratingour efforts on people who aremore reasonable and still musically comparable to (Crosby)," hesaid, "We cannot afford any moretime and money to play gameswith neurotic musicians who ultimately cancel their performancesand withdraw their committments."
"We have a firm committmentfrom Mountain," Werner stated."Right now, we're just waiting toreceive Coach Rienzo's permissionto use the gym. He has been outof town, but we should get the goahead from him this week. Wedon't anticipate any problem herebased on Rienzo's cooperation inthe past."

Paper Chase
Produc ttonGary Blass, Jeanne Curuus, Jeff Def.aurentrs, Lmda GaspareUo
The recently established Commission on Campus Media is dealingwith journalistic freedom and responsibility at Georgetown. In viewof their investigation, the comments of Hilltop student GeorgeBehan (C'75) are pertinent. George is a budding journalist and amember of the A thletic Advisory Board, proving that even a jockcan type.
The campus newspaper, on this campus as well as on manyothers, exists in a unique position. It is financed primarily byunversity funds, 'and yet. besides the power of the purse, theuniversity exerts no other controls on it. The campus newspaper isfree to print what its student editors choose to print, and no type ofprior restraint can be exercised by the university.
Ideally the campus newspaper should offer a true picture of thehappenings as well as the opinions of the university community. Itshould strive to be impartial in news reporting and to be trulyrepresentative of public opinion on its editorial pages. One author'sattempted advocacy of a particular stand on a particular issue cannotbe construed as the expression of the university's opinion.
The campus newspaper has the responsibility to inform and alsoto become informed about its readers. At Georgetown, two campusnewspapers exist, and therefore it is possible for the two to dividethe responsibilities which would normally be assumed by onenewspaper, if it was the sole campus newspaper. At Georgetown,The HOYA and The Georgetown Voice are different in theirideologies and in their weekly presentation of these ideologies.
If the two newspaper staffs were combined and yet the resultingpaper was published twice weekly. it does not seem that the savingin production costs would justify the trouble involved in combiningthe two staffs. On the other hand, if only one issue was publishedonce a week, would it be responsive enough to the Universitycommunity?
These questions would be eliminated entirely if the Voicesomeday attained its expressed goal of independence. Possibly theCorporation will someday, while wallowing in excessive profits,decide to fund a newspaper, either to supplement or to replace theexisting publications.
In any event, the need for a responsible, responsive, andunrestrained student newspaper is evident.

addition to the usual complexities encountered in setting up a major tournament,had difficulty obtaining legal sanction. Thetwo rival tennis federations volleyed back andforth, while Student Government lawyersearned their pay.
Finally, the tournament sponsor, EquityFunding Insurance, went bankrupt, therebyreneging on a $60.000 pledged sponsorship.This caused more than a few fits, plus a lossof credibility for this year's promoters. inaddition to the anxiety found among Equitypolicy holders.
Somehow. everything has been worked outand the third annual Lombardi TennisTournament is currently underway. It all goesto prove two things.
First, faith in an ideal backed up by hardwork can overcome any frustration theHilltop can offer. In this case. it will helpalleviate the incurability of cancer, thathTfeatest of all frustrations.
And it says something about Georgetownone year after Lemon Day. a souringexperience for University educators. Lookingat the problems dogging the tennis promotersall along, one may conclude that it is theabsurdities in life that make life worthliving... and Georgetown is very rich indeed.
The law center should endorse Nader'ssuggestion and spon~or a series of conferences'on the new legal career opportunities that areopenmg.
More importantly. it is up to the studentsof law to pursue something more honorablethan a paper chase. To the horror of many,this may mean the end to brown-nosing andchasing the grade as the sole end of education.
It just might mean something more thanbrown-nosing for a buck after graduation. Itjust might mean a real dedication to theprinciples of justice, a far cry from the lipservice uttered all too often in the past.
Once upon a time, a bunch of studentsdecided to aid victims of cancer. To raisefunds these students decided to stage a tennistournament. To stage a tennis tournament,they decided to use the facilities of their almamater, Georgetown University.
Frustration hit the activists... it wasadmirable to assist the Lombardi CancerResearch Center; tennis is a popular spectatorsport; yet Georgetown being Georgetown,frustration was inevitable.
This year the major obstacle was theadministration's refusal to allow the gym tobe used. Th is was great news for USLTA's rivaltennis organization, the WCT. I t was not greatnews for those who knew cancer victims.
The administration came out squarelyagainst cancer, which was comforting; yet, thereasons for the refusal were never explained.Behind the scenes it was uttered that politicalpressure from WCT sympathizers convincedSecond Healy to keep hands off theUSLTA-sanctioned tournament.
After weeks of shock, protest and haggling,the administration reversed itself. The latteraction could only be termed courageous, yetthe whole episode was still frustrating.
The administration was only one of severalheadaches. Last year the promoters, in
No Strings Attached
Consumer advocate Ralph Nader addresseda Law Center crowd this week (see story,page 1) and called for a reevaluation of thetraditional concept of the legal practice.
Nader argued that the traditional lawyer,especially the corporate attorney, is littlemore than a clerk. With the rapid rise inpublic interest litigation, in part fostered bysuch groups as Nader's Raiders, it would seemthat something more socially beneficial thansecretarial work could occupy the time of thenation's legal elite. Not that corporate workper se is menial; it is the glut in the marketwhich fosters such feather-bedding amongnewer attorneys.•

He said that the purpose of theprograms is to "help foreignstudents to adjust here, andoverall, to help Americans torealize that they are part of a bigworld. The programs are designed so as to make Georgetowna 'truly international university,"he added.
Mr. Heiberg is responsible forthe personal problems of adjustment that many foreign studentshave when they first arrive atGeorgetown. "I\1O/it students adjust very well, although at firstthey tend to stay by themselves,just as anyone would." He addedthat "the biggest problem for theforeign students seems to be withmoney, financing their stay here."
Part of this can be attributedto the necessity for aliens to getwork permits from the U.S. StateDepartment if they work offcampus.
Mr. Heiberg and the Office ofInternational Programs handleover 700 foreign students fromover 85 countries around theworld. Heiberg says that thelargest contingent is 'rom Japan,with 35 students, Next year,however, there will be a largergroup from West Germany, approximately 40 students.

The first line of the lyric-:"Miss takes are maid becau-vworlds are miss under stud"(mistakes are made because word,are misunderstood) sets the sona'.theme. It is a soft, melodiounumber with a good Slick VOl';iI.
Even the musical style, a softharmonization, points to a mitigation of the Slick and the Air'plane's earlier work. The musicand lyrics have no driving pattern.Rather, they run in all directions.And the final line, "Hear whatthey sing'-all those needing low."makes one wonder if this is till'same Slick and Kanter.

voice, carried by the orchestra,floats and sails like a wind. Andthe song's end, "Don't tie medown I want to run-give me thesun," sung by a forceful Slick,provides a powerful climax. Manhole is definitely the album's bestcut. But the constant transitionsfrom English to Spanish and thenumerous interruptive crescendoes tend to confuse the music.
On the flip side, a DavidFreiberg and Slick song, "Comeagain Touchan," laughs at peo-
tunity. Escape for a few hours(sometime between now and April14th) into 18th century Londonand discover the truth of that oldadage: "the more things change,the more they remain the same."

no more than the traditional Latinhusband, demanding obedienceand subservience from his wife.Out of sheer jealousy, he locks herin their rooms, and forbids her tosee anyone-thus depriving her ofthe joys of working to build arevolutionary Cuba.
His efforts are thwarted by theappearance of a handsome youngteacher, sent under the auspices ofa national literacy campaign, toteach Lucia to read and write.
The arrival of the teachersparks an excellent comic sequence, which provides what issome of the most honest, effective, and least offensive support ofthe women's liberation movementyet to reach the screen.
To Americans pre-disposed toundervalue the arts of modernCuba this film will come as a greatsurprise. Unquestionably, it willestablish Humberto Solas as oneof the cleverest new filmakers; hismastery of the scope of hissubjects, his versatility, and cunning camera work make Lucia oneof the nimblest foreign films tocome to the States in a long while.

song has a message. But despiteher talent, Slick sometimes getslost in the myriad of her ownlabyrinth of musical expressions.
The title song, which takes upall but a minute of the first side, isthe theme from the movie Manhole. It pleads for Spanish freedom from Franco and freedom inpersonal relationships using asubtle but powerful rock withSpanish overtones. As Slick sings,"Spanish winds keep telling mehow it feels to sing free," her
Rosato as the excitable, vaudevillian, acid-tongued shrew Mrs.Peaehum, and by Sam Tsoutsouvas as the fierce but lovablyrely-poly swindler Lockit. Theexchange of teeth-gritting pleasantries between Cynthia Herman(Polly) and Patti LuPone (Lockit)as rival mistresses is marvelouslystaged and ranks as the highpointof the evening's hilarity.
Carrie F. Robbins' vividlycolorful costumes, especially thegaudy swirls wrapped around theprancing ladies of ill-repute, combined with the sometimes staccato, sometimes sweeping eighteenth century rhythms in affording not a few nowillg spectacles of choreography.
When one play offers somuch-an accurate representationof history, near technical perfection, precise acting, stirring musicand dance, a flock of lovely ladies,and a barrel full of laughs-not tomention the timely embarrassment it creates for some of ourpublic trustees, it seems a shameto pass up such a rich oppor-
blatantly revolutionary, thatprovides the poorest propaganda.In its attempt to capture thedecadence of pre-Castro Cuba, itsatisfies itself with the unfortunate depictment of a "wild"Havana party. Yet the close-ups ofgluttons and debauches are bynow cliche and ineffective. Thetechnique actually alienates theviewer; anyone knows that oldCuba wasn't all like this.
Whatever decadence precrpitated the rise of Castro was surelynot confined to the foibles ofoverindulgent partygoers, many ofwhom are to be found on any sideof the political spectrum.
However, it must be admittedthat the acting and characterdevelopment of the second sequence is the finest of the film.Lucia's martini-gulping mother,especially, is superbly portrayed,in a clever comic style that is asbiting as it is funny.
In the final sequence, Lucia is asturdy hardworking communalfarm girl (perhaps too healthy andstrong to be.believable). She finds,after her marriage to a modelworker, that her lover is, after-all,
MANHOLE. Gracie Slick.Grace Slick's "blows against
the empire," delivered in a drivingrock style, have stopped. In heralbum, Manhole, Slick, backed bymost of the old Jefferson Airplaneand at times a full orchestra,creates numerous moods througha myriad of musical forms.
From ragtime to soft rock,from enticing vocals to poundingpiano pieces, Slick's talent isever-present. And although Manhole is not a concept album, every
ence in grotesquely misshapenmasks, bellowing and cackling theopening song. The drama unfoldsin the household of unscrupulouslawyer Peachurn, who patronizes ascore of highwaymen, pickpockets, and painted ladies-for ashare of booty they bring in aswell as the business they offer him.
When Peachum's prissydaughter Polly begins contendingfor the love of dashing cavalierthief Macheath, she arouses thejealousy of his alleged fianceeLucy Lockit and the greed of herfather. He sees a pretty penny forhimself if he can manipulateLucy's love for Macheath as asnare in which to capture theswashbuckling rogue and snatchup the reward money. Thus, thecavalcade of song and dance rollsmerrily along to the beat of thedaintily vicious competition between Polly and LUCY, accompanied by the ludicrously scheming dash for the gold betweenPeachum and Lockit.

LUCIA. Janus.It took several years for the
Cuban film Lucia to be cleared forpresentation before Americanaudiences. The \\tait has been wellworth it.
Humberto Solas' fine film is atrilogy, each sequence of which,(set in 1895, 1932, and 196·,respectively), deals with the experiences of a woman, all coincidentally named Lucia.
The first sequence is by far themost visually beautiful. Tracingthe growth, and ultimate destruction of the fascination of upperbourgeois Lucia with a handsomestranger, it offers a surprisinglysensitive view of the secluded andgraceful life led by the fragilespinster.
Certainly the theme of classconflict is strong-there are severalunnecessary snipes at the Church,and the whiteness of Lucia'ssurroundings imply a shallownessas well as purity. Yet Luciaremains the heroine. Even afterher placid life is ravaged by war, itis she who emerges as morallyvictorious, in her destruction ofthe reactionary lover who betraysher.
The second sequence dealsagain with a well-to-do Lucia, aspoiled young girl who leaves thehouse of her prattling mother tolive in shabby quarters with ayoung revolutionary.
With him, and his cell offriends, she works for the overthrow of the corrupted regime,only to be shocked by the speedwith which the decadence ofHavana infuses her fellow insurgents, after they have won. Herpuritan husband, disgusted withhis ex-comrades, eventually turnsagainst them and is killed, leavingLucia alone and unwanted.

THE BEGGAR'S OPERA. Ford'sTheatre
If it is indeed true thatlongevity is the ultimate standardof great art, then it shouldsurprise no one that The Beggar'sOpera is still around.
Written by John Gay, memberof London's talented and notorious Scriblerus Club, which alsoincluded arch satirists Swift andPope, the play was first performedat the Theatre-Royale in 1728.
Gay's satiric masterpiece hassurvived so long because it attacksan evil which has flourished aslong as man: hypocrisy. Andperhaps no generation can appreciate as well as our own awonderfully scathing indictmentof those who grovel in the dirtbeneath a surface of conventionalmorality. Yet politics is not asolitary target; love, marriage,the image of the male and female,and finance each receives its fairshare of abuse.

that was quite likely to fall."Karen Black as Tom's ill-fated
mistress, Myrtle Wilson, were a bittoo much paint, and generallyinjected more emotionalism thanher part called for, although hersensuous relation of her firstmeeting with Tom is enough totingle the spine. Myrtle's husbandGeorge, the gas station owner whois driven insane with Jealousy andgrief', is fleshed out with morethan enough pathos by ScottWilson's ashen-faced, watery-eyedimage on the screen, He looks asforlorn as if he had walkedstraight out of The Grapes 01Wrath.
A few final irritating aspectss ofthe film can not go withoutmention. The scene where Nickand Jordan meet the "owl-eyed"man in Gatsby/s library is cornpletely eliminated, so when herushes into the burial scene at theend WP wonder who the hell he is.Secondly, one is inclined to thinkthat Coppola's omission of Fitzgerald's gloriously poetic conclusion ("So we beat Oll. .. " etc.]from the narrative is horrendous.but in light of Waterston's failure,perhaps it is for the better. Iwould hate to have seen thoselines butchered by his anemicvocals. Lastly, and most crucially,Clayton gives us an unwarrantedglimpse of Daisy after Gatsby'sdeath, which is precisely when wewant to see her Ipast. We don'twant her insensitivity thrust before us. Fitzgerald avoids this byshrouding her apparent unconvernover Gatsby's death in obscurity.Her image should dip with Gatsby.Reviving her as th£' film doesobliterates the last remnant of ourdream as well as Gatsby 's. It spoilsthe romance too completely; wewant to believe, along withFitzgerald at the end of the novel,that "tomorrow we will runfaster, stretch out our armsfarther ... And one fine morning-"
So much of the advancepublicity for the film ..wore bythe sheer splendor of what is
captured on camera that I need dolillie here but assent that much ofthe photography is indeed beautiful. More appropriate I feel aretwo words of warning. Whentempted to laugh at some of thestickily melodramatic scenes,resist. Nothing is more irritatingthan a would-be sophisticate whogiggles conspicuously at each andevery instance of amateurism.
Secondly, make a consciouseffort to give yourself over to thefilm's sentiment. I grant thatParamount's Gatsby does notestablish the necessary atmosphere of enchantment nearly sowell as the novel did. But if for noother reason, see The GreatGatsby as a tribute to ScottFitzgerald, whose talent couldexpand the boundaries of credibility and permit us to believe,however briefly, in the green lightof infinite accessibility.
lemented as it was by her joyfultears, endearing smile, and herwarmly, eternally grateful voice.Nelson Riddle's orchestra had nota little to do with the success ofthis touching reunion.
Unfortunately, every silverlining has a cloud and MissFarrow's was her inability toexpress believable emotion at thesadder end of the spectrum. It wasa shame to hear people laughing asMia failed miserably to make usfeel Daisy's dissatisfaction, herfear, and her sorrow. She was ather best when spouting irritatinglittle gibes at Tom, interruptinghis dinner conversations withcapricious suggestions, and especially as she flittered among theguests at Gatsby's party like anastonishingly lovely butterfly, unaware of its own awe-inspiringbeauty.
The only actor who seemscompletely at ease with his role is
Bruce Dern. He convinces us fromthe star that he has graspedsecurely all the supercilious mannerisms that mask Tom Buchanan's emotional infancy, and henever lets go. Dern owns Tom,and makes that clear to us in a
No one was comfortablein his or her role.
manner the character himselfwould be proud of. Oern seems sopitiably immature, so totaH»- immersed in the role of Tom, that attimes one suspects the actor hasadopted an oblivious self-centeredness which allows him onlyscorn' for, or perhaps me rei;'indifference toward, those whoconceive of the character differently. Dem's performance was theonly one strong enough to get meto surrender my original, visualimage in favor of the facepresented in the movie.
Howard Da Silva brought adelightful boorishness to the partof Meyer Wolfsheim, but most ofJordan Baker's comic cynicismwas lost on Lois Chiles' huskymonotone. Miss Chiles' neverquite accomplished the aloofpoise that made Fitzgerald'scharacter appear as if she were"balancing something on her chin
Coppola and Clayton pickedthe wrong scenes to try andexpress the sense of controlledviolence and almost majesticmystery which Gatsby exuded.Some of their efforts were sostarkly unpolished as to appearlaughably melodramatic. WhenRedford shot a jaunty wave of thehand toward Waterston from hismoonlit dock as a solemn bass
fiddle droned in the background,more than a few guffaws floatedhollowly about the theater.
Much too much is made of theinjured complaint Gatsby repeatedly confronts Daisy with,"Why didn't you wait for me'?"While the sentiment is surely therein Fitzgerald's prose, the line
never appears once in the noveland Coppola wearssout its importance by harping on it. Perhapsmost upsetting about Redford'sperformance was the delivery ofthe classic, "Her voice is full ofmoney." The line is spokenfalteringly, after a momen t ofponderous hesitation, as if it tookGatsby a while to grasp the idea.Redford's wavering voice simplyruins it. Gatsby, if he understoodanything at all, saw clearly thebond between beauty and moneyand Fitzgerald implies that he spitthe line out with the rapidity of amachine gun.
Mia Farrow's portrayal ofDaisy earns an equal share ofplusses and minuses. Whetherdecked ou t in soft, flutteringpastels or glittering in silver mesh,Mia never fails to radiate thatcaptivating magic of "unutterable" loveliness. Clayton'sopening shots of her seductivephotographs adorning Gatsby'sbedroom sufficiently convey thedisproportionately swollen magnificence of the romantic illusion henurtures and cherishes.
The meeting of the two lovers.after five years separation, inNick's cottage for afternoon Lea ishandled beautifully, and rates asperhaps the most genuinelymoving scene in the film. Mia'ddelivery of the "I'm glad, Jay"line was absolutely perfect, cornp-
made," in a casual conversationwith Jordan. Perhaps a line suchas this calls for a backgroundnarrator approaching (but notquite) an Orson Welles-like omniscience. It certainly loses itsimpact when spoken while sippinga cup of tea in a bustling hotellobby, which is where Claytonchose to unleash it.
Sam Waterston as Nick might
have been a part of the problemwith the narrative. One felt sorryfor him throughout the picturebecause he looked like he wastrying so hard to be a good Nickand failing nevertheless. He comesoff as a sad, lost little boy. Thereis some element of truth to thenovel in that Nick is misplaced inthe circle of meretricious opulence, but Waterston's backgroundvoice is as timorous as hisconception of the character.Waterston's mousy passivity isgenuinely aggravating. Fitzgerald'sNick, while preserving a necessaryobservational detachment, showedmore of a capacity for irritation,more of a willingness to stand upto Tom's oppressive obtuseness.Call it gumption, Moxie or whathave you. but be informed thatWaterston's portrayal lacked it.
OtherWise, casting for Gatsbycould not have been more perfectas far as stills were concerned, butas soon as each character began tomove and speak it became embarrassingly obvious that no one wascomfortable in his or her role.Almost all of the acting waspervaded by an unbearable selfconsciousness. Each seemed sopainfully aware of his own screenpresence that one sensed aninternal anguish over trying tofulfill a possibly unfulfillableideal.
Robert Redford was a stunningphysical representation of Gatsbybut his performance may havebeen the worst of his career. Muchof the blame here lies withClayton. A few seemingly minor,but in retrospect significant, departures from the original sequence of Fitzgerald's scenes areresponsible for some of thedamage to the character ofGatsby. Instead of relying on theauthor's masterfully constructed,surprise conversation betweenNick and Gatsby at the gardentable, Clayton decided to transport the first encounter betweenthe struggling bond salesman andthe nouveau riche bootlegger toan upstairs office in the latter'smansion. The first close-up ofGatsby shows him turning palelyand unimpressively away from hisobservation window to greet Nick,a move which cruelly shatters theaura which allegedly surroundedthe man. Let it be rememberedthat for all his dangerously romantic and foolish illusions, he wasstill the "great" Gatsby; the filmintroduces him as an uncomfortable, embarrassed, slightly confused and disappointingly unextraordinary loner.
Redford and Farrow are visualrepresentations of Gatsby andDaisy. But ...
by Robert McEwenTHE GREAT GATSBY. K. B.Mac Arthur
Jack Clayton, the British director of Paramount's much heraldedremake of The Great Gatsby; wasquoted in a Neuisuieek article twomonths ago as saying, "This is alot of people's favorite book.Everyone thinks he knows thecharacters and how they shouldbe played. But we can't be tooconcerned about that." Perhapshe should have been concernedabout that, and a few other thingsas well.
After one of the most extensive promotional campaigns Hollywood has ever seen, Gatsbyopened in Washington. While, Iwould never recommend notseeing the film, it is unfortunatethat Paramount's glossy, 6.2 million dollar project is marred bysome glaring deficiencies which.depending on your love for theauthor or the stars, may or m~not add up to failure.
A few words in Clayton'sdefense might be in order. Theprimary difficulty he faced was intranslating Fitzgerald's elevatedprose into the mouths of flesh andblood characters on screen. Realpeople, even rich people, mayspeak elegantly but they don'tspeak luxuriantly. Far too oftenClayton called upon his actors andactresses to recite lines thatFitzgerald never intended to bespoken in dialogue, but rather toremain poetically aloft in whatFitzgerald referred to himself as"blankets of excellent prose."
There simply may be no wayto accomplish the transition.There is not an extraordinaryamount of action in the novel; somuch of its success is accountableto Fitzgerald's crystallization ofnebulous emotional tensions. Filmmight not be able to produce thesame effect, but impossible ornot, Francis Ford Coppola'sscreenplay was adequate at best. Icringed to hear Nick utter thepoignant "They were carelesspeople, Tom and Daisy-theysmashed up things and creaturesand then retreated back into theirmoney or their vast carelessness orwhatever it was that kept themtogether, and let other peopleclean up the mess they had

have felt that they were being bounced around byan impersonal bureaucracy. Dr. Esswein stresses,though, the advantage Georgetown women have inreceiving treatment (with the Health Serviceunderwriting the first visit) by a specialist fromone of the best medical centers in the country.
Many students also expressed concern over thepossibility of diagnosis by medical students. Whilemed students do staff the clinic after 10 pm & onweekends, they do not perform pelvic exams, andrefer such problems to Dr. Esswein and Dr. JaneChretien, both specialists in internal medicine,who are available every day by appointment.
Unfortunately, when continued treatment by aGYN specialist from the Medical Center isnecessary, the woman involved must assumefinancial responsibility. This is true, however,when any prolonged treatment, such as orthopedic, for example, is necessary .
A major complaint among the women polledconcerned the attitude of the attending physician.Women cited the Health Service as "insensitive tofemale concerns." There are a large numberof doctors who staff the Heal th Service, manyon a rotating basis. Some are specialists infields such as cardiology who happen to drawHealth Service duty. Dr. Esswein and Dr. Chretien,however, are the regular physicians and asmembers of the Student Development staff areoriented towards and extremely sensitive tostudent needs. When a student would like tosimply talk to a doctor, needs counseling onanything from general health care to sexualpractices, or prefers to use the same doctor foreach visit, an appointment can be made with eitherDr. Esswein or Dr. Chretien.
BI RTH CONTROL
An extremely Important area not covered bythe Health Service is the prescription anddispensation of birth control. The face is that evenif a gynecologist was part of the Health Servicestaff, the doctor would not be able to dispensebirth control. Dr. Esswein considers the prescription of birth control to be the decisive factorcoloring any discussion of gynecology at Georgetown. Counseling and information about birthcontrol and referrals in the D.C. area, however,are provided. As the Student Health Service nowdefines the problem, "For patients who specifically and only request contraceptive medication,we have not paid for the consultation. However, incases where other complications are present,consultations which result in the prescription ofcontraceptive medicine by the gynecologist havebeen paid for."
A PRIVILEGE OR A RIGHT?
An intangible problem, but perhaps the oneuppermost in women's minds is the right tounlimited gynecological care for all women. Whilesuch care has been labelled a service or privilege,women at Georgetown contend that it is a routine,fundamental medical service that should beavailable. With the exception of contraceptivemedication, these services are waiting for thewoman who is aware of their availability. Oncewomen, knowing what is offered, begin to takeadvantage of the Student Health Service facilitiesand services, perhaps their supply will increasewith the demand.

Contributon:Chrrs Grady, Susan Kinnear.Nancy Splesman.Editor: MISSy Morrison
ANALYSIS OF THE PRESENT SYSTEM
Although there is no gynecological'specialist onduty at the Health Service, a woman with a GYNproblem can receive more than adequate care. Oneproblem that besets other university health centerswith a gynecologist on part time duty is thetendency of staff doctors to postpone a GYNcomplaint until the specialist' is on duty, whenfrequently problems can be easily handled by thestaff, Dr. Esswein explained. At Georgetown,doctors will see any patient regardless of her/hiscomplaint.
Students polled voiced several complaints aboutthe Health Service for women. To many, thereferral process is cumbersome. At tinw, women

Among other specialservices provided through Student Health are theadministration of allergy shots, wart removal,dietary and nutritional counseling tuberculintesting and educational programs.
COUNSELING
There are three University centers of counselingresources: Psychiatric Services, The PsychologicalCenter and Hot Line. The Psychiatric Serviceprovides consultation, brief psychotherapy andoccasional long term care for students. Theseservices are available at no cost and appointmentsmay be made by calling 625-7362 or 625-7351.The Psychological Center functions in a similarmanner.

RIGHT TO PRIVACY
Student Health Services subscribe to theabsolute confidentiality of the doctor-patientrelationship. Records cannot be shown to ordiscussed with anyone without a signed releasefrom the student. ~
Early in this semester the Health CareCommittee of the Women's Caucus conducted apoll to asses the need for gynecological care at theStudent Health Service. Seventy per cent ofon-campus undergraduate women returned thequestionnaire, and a random sampling of off-earnpus women was taken. Generally, the questionsasked were concerned with whether the womenused gynecological services presently, if theythought a gynecologist should be available at GUStudent Health and the extent to which theywould use this service is available and finally, theirwillingness to pay for such treatment.
The results of the poll definitely confirmed thehypothesis that Georgetown women think gyne·cological services should be available and that theywould take advantage of such a service and wouldbe willing to pay specifically for it if offered.
COMMUNICATION PROBLEMSHowever, Gynecological Services are available
at the Health Service. Presently, all routineexaminations, pap tests, treatment of infections,pregnancy testing, VD testing and birth controlcounseling can be and are handled at the GUHealth Service. All physicians are trained ingynecology. However, for complicated or longstanding complaints, the physician on duty willrefer the patient to the appropriate specialist atthe hospital, with the Health Service paying forthe first visit.
According to Dr. John Esswein, Director of theStudent Health Services, the current majorproblem is communication: The results of the polldemonstrated that Georgetown women do notknow what services are available.

His comments, considering thatGeorgetown supplied malt of thenation's diplomatic personnel atthat time, are significant. FeGuthrie stated: "It is not surprising to note that states have foundit necessary to control opinionexactly as they found it necessaryto control economics. The stan, '5

Senator J. Howard McGrath thatthe latter read them into theCongressional Record. Later thatsame year, President Trumanappointed McGrath AttorneyGeneral.
McCarthy aide Roy Cohn reports in McCarthy that shortlybefore Thanksgiving, 1949, thre~men, G-men, approached SenatorMcCarthy. This meeting led to hiscrusade, Cohn contends.

ment or merely 57 Communistsympathizers, but that speechpropelled McCarthy into the national spotlight, and McCarthyismbecame a potent force to bereckoned with.
The one incomprehensibleaspect in the above scenario is thecontention that a U.S. Senatorwould stake his reputation on asingle issue, bolstered solely by anafter dinner conversation. Itignores other factors working onMcCarthy at the time. Thesefactors, then, merit closer attention.
As far back as 1946, McCarthyexperimented with the red-baitingcampaign tactic. In the Republican primary he faced an uphillbattle against incumbent SenatorRobert LaFollette, Jr., son of thefamed Progressive "Fighting Bob"LaFollette.
The young McCarthy vented a"soft on Communism" charge atLaFollette, who presumed thesalvo too absurd to refute. However, this and his war record led toa slim McCarthy upset.
Yet other forces were acting onthe nation and on McCarthythroughout 1949. This year hasbeen called the "year of shocks,"for two major happenings rockedAmericans that year: the expulsion of Chiang Kai-shek frommainland China and the establishment of a Communist regimethere and, the first successfuldetonation of an atomic bombproduced by the Soviet Union.

The revisionist scenario claimsthat McCarthy never had an issueand, not finding the facts, wentahead anyway. Barely a monthlater, on February 9, the Senatormade his famed Wheeling speech.
It is still not known whether heclaimed to possess a list of 205Communists in the State Depart-

This struck a responsive chordin the Midwesterner, who then cutoff the priest, stating, "TheGovernment is full of Communists. The thing to do ishammer at them."

Total Power
In fact, Professor Kraus hadrecommended Walsh's recentlypublished book, Total Power, anindictment of Soviet Communism,which McCarthy read with interest.
As the three dined, the problem of McCarthy needing an issuewas raised. Attorney Robertssuggested the Senator fight forpassage of the St. LawrenceSeaway.
"That hasn't got enough appeal," replied McCarthy. "No onegets excited about it."
Then he, McCarthy suggested anational pension plan, wherebythose over 65 would receive $100per month. To this his threeguests retorted that the plan waseconomically unsound.
After dinner, the four adjourned to Roberts' office in theadjoining DeSales Building. Therethe talk was mostly small, untilFr. Walsh, a vigilant critic ofCommunism, spoke of the Communist threat to the free world

The Devil and Fr. Walsh (or). .
by Ken ZemskyDavid Halberstam's nationwide
bestseller, The Best and 'TheBrightest, has rekindled a controversy involving Fr. Edmund A.Walsh, founder of the School ofForeign Service, a former Georgetown government professor andthe late Senator Joseph R. MeCarthy (R-Wisc.)
Halberstam's thesis, expounded;n the past more fully by suchjournalists as Jack Anderson, isthat Fr. Walsh, Prof. Charles H.Kraus and Washington attorneyWilliam A. Roberts set McCarthyloose on his witch hunt during thered scare of the early 1950's. Thecontroversy among historiansrevolves around the significance ofthe role of Fr. Walsh and theothers in persuading Wisconsin'sjunior Senator to follow what waslater to be termed "McCarthyism."
McCarthy, charge Halberstamand the revisionist historians,became worried around 1950; hewas a senator without an issue,facing reelection within two years.He had been elected in 1946,capitalizing on his World War IIexperience in intelligence. Hiscampaign managers nicknamedhim "Tail-gunner Joe."
Once elected, McCarthy servedthe business interests of the stateby battling public housing. Toappease his rather large GermanAmerican constituency, theSenator defended the Nazis ontrial for the Malmedy murders.However, these were minor issues,
.hardly the sort of record he couldboast in front of the electorate in'52.
Thus, on January 7, 1950, theSenator dined at Washington'splush Colony Restaurant withKraus, Roberts, who was an aideof columnist Drew Pearson andFr. Walsh. Kraus and Robertswere well acquainted with MeCarthy. Like McCarthy they wer~

.,their repudiation of him severalmonths after the Wheeling speech,a fact recognized in all accountsof the Colony meeting, thoughdown played by certain revisionisthistorians. Roberts, Kraus andespecially Walsh were militantanti-Communists. Yet McCarthy'sdisregard for civil liberties appalled the trio and each disassociated himself from the Senator.
The nation was not to repudiate McCarthyism for several years.Fr. Walsh and the others cut theties with McCarthyism shortlyafter it began, thus proving thatthe group that had dined with JoeMcCarthy on a wintry night inJanuary, 1950, possessed greaterforesight than did the nation atlarge, at least at the outset of thedecade.

Fr. Walsh, Professor Kraus andRoberts were not responsible forMcCarthyism. From 1946 on, theSenator and the nation had beenexperiencing a number of shockswhich made the red scare readilyacceptable.
For the Wisconsin Senator,events came to a head in late 1949and early 1950. The Colonymeeting, as a forum for discussingpotential issues, was one confirmation or his inclination tostart the crusade against Communists in the govern men t, aswere the later developments,Though a factor, that meeting wasnei ther the only, nor the majorfactor influencing McCarthy.
A final proof that the juniorSenator's three guests did notintend a widespread scare was
on his new reputation to win aSenate seat that Fall. And it was asignificant factor in his receIvingthe nod as General Eisenhower'srunning mate at the G.O.P.National Convention in 1952.
On the same day that Hiss wasconvicted, President HarryTruman gave the nation a secondshock. Since the Soviets nowpossessed the A-bomb, Trumanargued that America had todevelop "the so-called hydrogenbomb, or super-bomb."
Of this eminent physicistAlbert Einstein said the newweapon could lead to "the annihilation of any life on earth," ifused.
The final shock came on Feb.3. The British government announced the arrest of Dr. KlausFuchs, an atomic scientist whoworked on the Manhattan Project.Fuchs confessed that he was aRussian spy.
His confession was traced backto American go-between HarryGold and eventually to Ethel andJulius Rosenberg, who were soonconvicted and executed.
The British estimated thatFuchs' assistance sped Sovietdevelopment of the atomic bombby a least a year.
Now decision firmed in MeCarthy's mind. When the SenateRepublican Campaign Committeesent him to Wheeling, WestVirginia for a Feb. 9 Lincoln'sDay Dinner Speech, the Senatorwas ready to address the subject"Communism in the State Department." From then, the contributions, awards and fame rolledinto McCarthy's office; MeCarthyism was in full bloom.
is suspect. Further they jump onan incident the next Spring whichpoints back toward the Colonydinner.
In a late March, 1950 gatheringat his apartment, a wag askedMcCarthy: "Tell me Senator, justhow long ago did you discoverCommunism?" According toGoldman, "The Senator grinned,'Why about two and a halfmonths ago.' "
Two and a half months earlieris thus cited by the New Lefthistorians as the time of theColony dinner (Jan. 7). Or is it?
Actually, in the brief span oftime two and a half months priorto that March gathering, fourevents took place which confirmed in McCarthy's mind thepreviously established threat ofCommunism, especially after thevisit of the intelligence group theprevious Thanksgiving. True, oneof the four events was the Colonydinner, which further establishedthe dangers of Communism in hismind. However, this was not thesale nor the most important ofthe events.
Nixon's the One
Shortly after that dinner,_McCarthy and the nation were toreceive several more shocks. OnJanuary 21, Alger Hiss was convicted of perjury. Hiss was a StateDepartment official accused ofpassing government documents toCommunist Whittaker Chambers.It was this case which catapulteda then obscure Congressman,Richard Nixon (R-CaJif.) into thenational spotlight.
The mood of the nation wassuch that Nixon would capitalize
Whittaker Chambers, currently!x'ing investigated by the HouseCommittee on Un-AmericanActivities, and reportedly on theSoviet spy ring in the UnitedStates.
Not content to leave such datawith the F.B.I., the three unnamed persons decided to alertpublic opinion via a nationalspokesman. They drew up a list offour potential spokesman, allRepublican Senators. The firstthree declined to represent thegrou:>'s interests, surmising theIssue too hot to handle. Thefourth Senator was the freshmanfrom Wisconsin. .
Why did McCarthy buy theirpackage? Two reasons, citesCohn. "The firSt was patriotic. He(~IcCarthy) was worried about thethreat to the country posed bythe Communist conspiracy.Secondly, I am sure he saw thepolitical opportunities connectedWIth a fight on Communism...He had found, he thought, apolitically attractive issue hecould sink his teeth into."
Debunks Colony
Cohn then debunks theImportance of the Colony meeting. He comments: "The Senatormay have wanted further information on Communism from thepolitical science experts thatnight. But the fact is thatMcCarthy had a)ready bough t thepackage a month or two earlier."This explanation is somewhatcloser to Professor Kraus' versionof the meeting.
Yet the revisionists argue thatCohn's credibility, because of hisclose association with McCarthy,

on the admissions. staff (thpy arethe ones who ultimately selectwho comes here). or maybe weshould shift the blame to theschool itself (is there something atG. U. that attracts them in suchlarge numbers? I. Or maybe theanswer to this question is moreobvious than we think; it's just adisease that gradually infects andtakes over these poor performingfools. In any case, let's hear it forHargadon and Mays.
Naturally, a great camera like theF-1 won't ensure great results.That's up to you. Yet-It's nice toknow that your camera can growwith you as a photographer.
Part of the reason for this is theF-1 system. Since It was designedin totality, it offers total performance There is nothing "added on"In the F-1 system Everything worksas It was desiqned to, and integrates superbly With everythingelse. You'll spend lesstlmeworryingabout operating the camera than Inshooting. And thats what creativephotographv is r~ally all about
Controls fall Into place undereach finger It s no accident Protessionalswho depend on acamerafor their livelihood have a deepregard for the F-fs handling It'samazlrg how much a comfortablecamera can Improve your work
I haw, in the past, read articlesof this sort. however, Hargadenand Mays have really crystallizedthe pretenses of Georgetown's"BP's" so succinctly that nothingis left to be said. It is a shame thatarticles of thls.sort have a basis forbeing written and indeed many,here at Georgetown can identifywith the plight of the genuinepeople.
One really cannot answer thequestion of "Why these peopleproliferate around Georgetown
• University?" Should we blame it
To you, photography is morethan a hobby. You may never wantto become a professional Yet. yourphotography is as Important ameans of self-expression to you asyour speech. You demand thesame excellence in your photographic equipment as you do ofyour photographic skills.
The canon F-1 IS the camera thatcan fulfill any photographic task towhich you put it. It can stand up toyour ability in any situation.
Good ShowTo the Editor:
In response to Miss Hargaden'sand Mr. Mays' article, "ChicChicks and other Bores," I wouldlike to say that the accurateportrayal of the "Would-he's"who, unfortunately, seem to be ingreat number here at Georgetown,inspired the first real belly-laugh Ihave gotten out of reading anycampus publication in quite sometime.

Connors is planning to getmarried this Fall but he insiststhat he and his fiance Chris Evertwill not stop playing tennis. Inregard to his opinion of thewomen's circuit, Connors wasquick to comment. "There's onlyone player that I watch and that'sChrissie. She's been playing greatlately and I think that Chris willbe ranked number one before theyear's out."
In the next three or fourmonths, Connors will have to play Ihis very best. The Georgetown I

In looking to this weekend'scompetition, Connors feels thatall the players are very good buthe still feels he has an excellentchance to win. Yet even ifConnors doesn't win the tournament (he has only lost one thisyear), Jimmy will not be tooupset. "My philosophy is to goout and play my very best. Aslong as I know I've given 100 percent, then that's all that matters,"Connors. commented.
Jimmy Connors is a superstarand he knows it. But if anyonedoubts his ability to play tennis,don't ask Stan Smith. BecauseJimmy Connors is determined tobe the only number one playerand he'll challenge anybody whothinks he's second best.
tions, Connors will be the firsttennis player to ever appear onthe cover of July's Sport Mll2azine.
Jimmy Connors likes having hisindependence on the USLTAcircuit. Bill Riordan says thatJimmy is "sick and tired of theWCT taking cheap shots at himbecause he won't join theircircuit." In fact, Connors is soadamant that he has challengedthe winner of this weekend's WCTtournament to play him in a
Stadium (Cincinnati), and CountyStadium (Milwaukee) are amongthe top stadia for drawing crowds,and none of them is in the "highcrime districts" of their respectivecities. On the other hand, Baltimore's Memorial Stadium,Atlanta Stadium and RFK aredeep within the heart of the highcrime district of each city, and asone might surmise the attendancefigures for the residents are amongthe lowest in the Majors.
Ruth's HouseA couple of clubs reside in the
center city and yet t op the leagueswith attendance. The Yankees,when playing in the freindlyconfines of the "House That RuthBuilt," were among the tops inthe A.L., finishing 3rd in 1973.The other team is the perrenialA.L. attendance champ, the Detroit Tigers. Located near th"ecenter of the city, Tiger Stadiumis not .in an ideal location (Detroitleads the nation in homocides).Yet the Tigers have not fallenprey to the problem.
It appears that the problem ofhigh crime areas may have aneffect on attendance in certaincities, but the evidence can notlead one to say that Washingtonor any other city is not a goodbaseball town solely because thestadium is in a high crime area.
Someday, baseball fans, theechoes of ash against leatherwithin the caverns of Robert F.Kennedy Memorial Stadium, mayonce again resound.

and deeper for five sets longerthan any player in the entireworld.
The most exciting moment inConnors' life so far occurred whenhe was named U.S. Pro Champlast July in Boston. In a spectacular week Connors, who wasunseeded, triumphed over StanSmith, Dick Stockton, CliffRichy, and Arthur Ashe to capture the crown.
Sport FirstTo add to his list of distinc-
RFK complex.Paul Hemphill, columnist for
SPORT magazine, spoke of acrime problem in the AtlantaStadium area, where one footballwriter was critically injured whenshot for refusing a ride to a youthin the parking lots outside theStadium.
Surrounding the Stadium
Hemphill points out thatstepped up police patrols will notalleviate the problem. The problem is, unfortunately, the areaswhich surround the stadia, whichpresent an even greater problemof location for the stadia of thefuture.
In examining the possibilitythat "high crime areas" may deterfans from "Taking me out to thebaIl game" one should examine anarray of the stadia in use in theprofessional sports scene.
Shea Stadium (the home of theMets, Jets and for the time beingthe Yankees) has been in an areaof low crime and the Mets haveconsistently led the Majors inattendance, whether the fans wentto see good baseball or just for a •laugh.

way to go before he reaches hispeak. "I love to call people liars,"said Connors. "Some say I'm overthe hill, but they're all wrong. Iwon't reach my peak until I'm atleast 26 years old." Since January1, Connors has won more prizemoney than any other player inthe world. Rod Laver's $36,000 issecond to Connors' winnings of$110,000.
Jimmy' Connors is acclaimedby many of his competitors asbeing able to hit the ball harder
in a year. But this has not beenthe case.
Several attempts to draw theSan Diego Padres to the D.C. areahave been thwarted.
Earlier in the year, there waswidespread speculation that thePadres would be playing in theconfines of RFK this Spring. Butthe team was forced to stay insunny California through legalitiesenforced by city officials.
Among the problems that faceprospective franchise-owners inthe Nation's Capital is the incidence of crime in the city, morespecifically in the Northeast andSoutheast areas surrounding the

Jimmy Connors is the youngestplayer in history to have won theNCAA championships (as a Freshman), the U.S. Pro Title, and theU.S. Indoor Championships. BillRiordan of the United StatesLawn Tennis Association callsConnors "the best in the world"
Although Connors currentlyshares the number one rankingalong with Stan Smith, Connorsfeels that he'd like to be there byhimself. I have a lot of respect forSmith but feel I deserve the topranking more," Connors quipped.He added, "It's fun being on top,but I'm always looking ahead".
Connors is often criticized byhis rivals in the World Championship Tennis organization for playing in the USLTA. Bill Riordan,
..who acts as Connors manager, isthe first to stick up for Jimmy.
"People keep saying thatJimmy plays in a weak circuit butthat's a falsehood. Jimmy likes hisindependence. He doesn't want tohave to play all the time. In theUSLTA, Jimmy can rest when hegets tired so he doesn't get wornout like what happened to StanSmith," Riordan commented.

The arrival of Spring at the Hilltop mayignite Healy lawn frisbee tournaments, but formany Hilltoppers seeking to amuse themselvesotherwise, Spring marks the onset of frustration.
Anyone foolish enough to attempt playinga game of tennis in the Georgetown area hasundoubtedly experienced the perennial battlefor the courts.
As soon as the temps hit around 60 degreesand by some rare occurence it doesn't rain,herds of Hilltoppers begin flocking to the 12measely courts throughout the Georgetowncommunity. For any newcomers who plan tohit a few tennis balls someplace other thanagainst a brick wall, perhaps a briefdescription of what one has to go through willhelp to prepare you.
Step one involves a somewhat trickymaneuver. Your best bet is to call the gymand reserve a court ahead of time.
Last week my partner and I decided to befoolish to try to reserve' a gym court. I justhappened to be at McDonough at .he time, soI stopped by the cage to make the reservation.When I inquired if there were any courtsavailable, the cage manager looked at me as ifI was crazy. He then proceeded to say that noreservations are accepted unless they're madeover the phone.
After explaining that I had an LD. with meand that I thought he was being absolutelyridiculous, I stormed out into an adjacentroom and phoned in the reservation.

in the first two minu tes of thiscontest, which was played in adriving rainstorm. After thirteenminutes, the Hoyas were trailing6-1, and Coach Besosa decidedthat it was pointless to continue.
"We had three games comingup this week," Besosa said, "and Ididn't want to risk any moreinjuries."
UMBC had beaten perennialpower Army already this year, butBesosa still felt that Georgetowncould have competed with them.
The Hoyas did not look like afirst class team in their next game,however, as they dropped a 12-7decision to Loyola. The Greyhounds scored five quick goals inthe first quarter, thereby openingup a lead that was too big toovercome.
Georgetown certainly mustplay to full capacity over the nextfew -days, as they meet stiff testsfrom both William and Mary andSalisbury State. Coach Besosafeels that "we can still have awinning season, if we can just ironout recent difficulties and play upto our potential."

However, at the GeorgetownInvitational Relays in two weeks,two G.U. personalities will befeatured. Track Coach SteveStageberg will begin his 1974season running in either theinvitational three mile or the onemile run. Although Coach Stageberg is presently directing histalents toward the golf team, hestaged quite an outstanding careeras a track star during his day.
Coach Stageberg graduatedfrom the School of ForeignService in 1969 but his accomplishments on the track field didnot go unnoticed. Stageberg wasawarded the Duffy ScholarAthlete Award in his senior yearalong with receiving the Outstanding Track and Field Competitor Award.
In the upcoming invitationalmeet, Stageberg will be competingwith another Hilltopper GordonOliver. Oliver, a transfer, is ineligible to run this year, but willregain his eligibility for competition beginning next fall.
Last year, the invitational relays were sparked by performances by Olympian Byron Dyceand Garth McKay. Georgetowncaptured the four mile relay withthe quint of Justin Gubbins, RichMull, Steve Caton, Conrad Zink,and Jack Fultz. With the exception of Zink, who is on leave ofabsence, the rest of the relay isexpected to run strongly againthis year.
The invitational will host up to600 competitors with 15 to 20teams already entered. Among thecompetitors are the University ofMaryland, William and Mary, WestVlrginia, University of Connecticut, Duke, and local state schools.
Although Georgetown does nothave an all-weather track, themeet will be held regardless ofweather conditions. Coach Langregards the invitational as anopportunity for Georgetown stu-
