Directors' Ruling Ends Student Boycott Threat Koeltl, Naylor First ~ In Debate Tourney .A.t Brandeis Univ.
Philodemic debaters John Koeltl and Mike Naylor compiled a 12-0 record to win first place at the Brandeis University Invitational Debate Tournament held last weekend. Their undefeated record in the eight preliminary rounds qualified them in first seeded position for the four elimination rounds. The final round against Northwestern resulted in a 3-2 decision for Georgetown.
There were 36 teams entered in the tournament, and Georgetown faced many of the top schools there. Koeltl and Naylor defeated

lor was fourth. Mark Sheppard and Tom Kelly, also competed in the tournament for Georgetown, and compiled a 3-5 l·ecord.
Dan Hurson and Mike Hayes went to' the Northern Illinois Tournament the same weekend, and emerged 5-3. Their record won them a seventh place in the tournament, with a loss to Wayne State and a victory over Kansas, among others.
Next weekend, John Koeltl and John Owen will travel to Emporia University in Kansas for another debate tournament. Georgetown has Leen especially invited to participate, since Koeltl and Owen will be debating Emporia in an exhibition round before the student body of the University.
In addition to its intercollegiate debating activities, the Philodemic also plans an expanded Moot Court program this yeal·. Moot Court is designed to give undergraduate

GU Leadership Conference ,Held; Desires Increased Communication
by Stephen Mournighan The Yard held the Second An
nual Student Leadership Conference to help open channels of communication between the students, their elected representatives, and the Administration, and to form student government at Georgetown.
The Conference, under the direction of William R. Heine, secretary of the Yard, was hampered especially in the discussion groups due to lack of attendance.
Michael Brennan, president of the Yard, greeted the participating students. William Heine, chairman of the Conference, then gave a general background of the conference, including an appraisal of last year's meeting.
He stated that it was time for a change in the realization of our position administratively, socially and economically, encompassing all of the students. Heine said that this change would be brought about by greater student communication, greater cooperation with the Administration, and greater contact with the faculty.
The purpose of the Conference, according to Heine, was to give ideas for the future. He said that the students were the most important part of the University, but equally important was their relation with the faculty and the Administration.
Father Royden B. Davis, S.J., Dean of the College, stated in his
address 'that "man, to be in time with reality, must kn.ow the past, be in touch with the present, and see the future." To him, Georgetown University is the past, the present, and the future.
He further stated that we should seek the reality in which we live. The University is moving ahead with the cooperation of the students, faculty and Administration. To achieve this forward progress, all three must fulfill their roles. But he emphasized that student voices are being heard. Specifically, Fr. Davis mentioned the Catholic University-Georgetown f 0 0 t ball game as an example of studentAdministration cooperation.
ElDploYlllent Agency For Derelicts: The purpose of the University,
he said, was to shape students who are mature, intelligent and motivated in the service of their fellowman.
Following Father Davis' remarks, (Colltinued on Page 13) An Unique Approach To AlcoholiSIn

made up of lower class Negroes and whites, men and women, in age from late teens to late sixties. Not a very homogeneous group, except when they sit down to break bread together. The meal is simple, sufficient, and afterwards the guests are introduced. Then the business of the club is brought forward: announcements of job offers and the question, "Know anyone who needs a job?"
The club was a flea market through which they raise some cash and manage to keep the neighborhood clothed. Shirts and shoes that children can buy for themselves at ten or twenty cents. Here a man can buy what perhaps is his first suit for two dollars and he buys with his money, not charity's.
that here is another culture. Father saw this too-and he threw out the rule book. "You can't impose middle class, white morality upon these people," he says. "AA wouldn't work here."
In effect, these people have standards that their culture, and their own society, the club, set up. There are no pharisees in the group; everybedy slips once in awhile. There are probably one or two drunks at every meeting. But for some reason, the group clicks, and it works. It takes maybe two years of coming forward and sliding backward before a member is "saved." When they've regained their confidence nnd respect for themselves, they are ready to leave this protective society and go out into the larger one.
Members Of Board Change Status Of GU-CU Scrimmage
by Gene Pnyne "The Board of Directors of the
University, at its regular scheduled meeting this afternoon, passed a motion to the effect that the scrimmage planned for Oct. 29 may be scheduled as a regular game."
With this announcement, Catholic University was added to the G~orgetown football schedule. A proposed boycott of classes, a "prank" letter and a last minute meeting of student leaders with Father Campbell preceded the Oct. 22 decision.
There was more behind the scheduling of this game than the brief note from the Board of Directors one week before the actual playing date. Game status for formal 'scrimmage was the result of a long series of incidents begin-ning at the end of the past academic year.
At that time inquiries were made into the possibility of expanding Georgetown's football schedule to five games. The result to these inquiries was the verdict of no sports schedule expansion until the goals of the sports program at Georgetown were defined.
The possibility for an additional football game with Catholic University arose this fall. Student leaders felt this additional game would only be for this year and would not represent a permanent expansion of the Georgetown football schedule.
Early Thursday morning, while the boycott was still in the planning stages, a "prank letter" was composed which announced a rally to be held at 12:00 Friday on Healy lawn. (See documents, p. 3)
At this rally, the letter said, "The Student Council will present a proposal that Fr. Campbell resign and the Un~versity disaffiliate itself from the Jesuit order." The letter, addressed to all students of Georgetown, was placed under the doors of various student leaders as well as under the doors of Jesuits living in New South.
The letter found its way that morning to Fr. Campbell, who ap

PhilodelDicians Debate Theology ElilDination
by Paul Gudel
A new manifestation of the growing student dislike for the Administration's policy on theology courses appeared this week. The Philodemic Society of Georgetown University drafted a resolution calling for the elimination of the theology requirement for graduation and a "substantial reduction" in
Arts Scholarships; Science Academy Advises On Grants
The Washington chapter of The National Society of Arts and Letters announces the offer of two $1,000 scholarships to be presented to talented students in the greater Washington area in the fields of literature and music.
Mrs. Charles King Holmes, chapter president, has announced that a distinguished panel of judges will serve for each competition.
Literature students must be between the ages of 18 and 26, and will compete in the short story field. Deadline for the return of the required application forms is Nov. 30. Deadline for short stories is Dec. 10. For details and application blanks contact Mrs. Robert T. Andrews, 820 Turkey Run Road, McLean, Virginia. The winner of the Washingtc.n chapter's $1,000 Short Story scholarship will compete in the National Society of' Arts and Letters National Career Awards Competition for a cash award of $1,000. The National competition wiII take place next May.
Piano students must be between the ages of 15 and 24. There is a required repertoire. The deadline for the return of the application forms is Feb. 22. Details and application forms for the piano competition may be obtained from Mrs. H. Russell Bishop, 2235 Que Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. Competition- will be held in early March.
The Washington chapter of The National Society of Arts and Letters has awarded scholarships to talented young people with career potential annually for 22 years. Over 100 students have received scholarship grants totaling over $100,000.
Probably the most famous scholarship award winner of the Washington chapter is movie star 'Shirley MacLaine, who won a 1951 award which she applied toward her studies at ballet school. She

the philosophy requirement. At the Philodemic meeting, Oct.
17, Father Roydon B. Davis, S.J., Dean of the College, was invited to speak on the matter of theology being made elective. The former theology professor defended the theology and philosophy requirement vigorously saying, "Theology and philosophy can and should offer the student the opportunity of maturing his own outlook on life. They knit the human experience together."
He also 'said, "I believe theology and philosophy will always be found at Jesuit institutions." Although he agreed that the trend at Georgetown is to cut back on the requirements, he does not think this is bad in itself, as long as the quality is good.
However, the quality of theology courses has been seriously questioned. Bob Mannix, president of the Philodemic, thinks the Theology Department has no incentive to make the courses worthwhile because they know they have a captive audience.
"These departments have become so defensive, it is a tacit admission on their part that they are irrelevant and meaningless," said Mannix. "There is no reason why these courses should be allowed to languish in mediocrity. There is nothing inherently valuable in these courses, when poorly taught, to make them required."
Mannix is confident the Philodemic will pass the resolution. After that, the Philodemic may publish a report and present it to the Student Councils and the students, hoping to provide a stimulus for discussion.
Mannix thinks this may influence the administration. "Students can have a real effect on University policy if they act decisively and in unity." Mannix stated he would not consider demonstrations too extreme a step for the students.
One Jesuit who is in favor of the resolution is Father Richard McSorley, S.J., a well-known advocate of civil and personal rights. He agrees that the quality of the theology courses is suffering, especially since no theology major exists at Georgetown. He also agrees that students can not be spoonfed.
"Theology has no meaning if forced," said Father McSorley. "Theology should be a free choice, just as everyone is a Catholic by their own mature choice."

Students'Ignorance Of Procedure •• "r
PerlUits Quick Arrests, Con:viction,s by Mike McGovern
"Have you ever been arrested for anything other than a minor traffic violation?" is a critical question asked on most applications for employment or graduate school. For a surprising number of Georgetown students the answer will be "yes." This can be disastrous for the aspiring lawyer, career diplomat or teacher.
Technically, an arrest is recorded whenever a person is taken into custody and brought to a police station, no matter how short the time. The precinct keeps a file which is readily available to security and character investigators. However, many students seem unaware of its lifelong consequences and of the thin line. between highspirited fun and legal difficulties.
Arrested students are commonly charged with such offenses as drunkenness, disorderly conduct, theft or lewd and wanton conduct. The latter charge is so vague that it connotes a number of immoral offenses. The fact that a student may only have been responding to the necessity of nature does not lessen the import of the charge.
Brendan Sullivan, Copley housemaster and a third year law student, is, like most prefects, a veteran of many weekend nights at police stations with arrested students. It is possible that a few might still be there if Sullivan and others had not been there to help.
CHAIRMAN GRETSCH
Surprise Turnout Puts Blood Drive Over Expectations
by Peter Shea Response to an on-campus blood
drive last week was so great that a number of students and faculty members had to be turned back. This year's drive, sponsored by the Scabbard & Blade Military Society of Army ROTC in conjunction with the Washington Red Cross, brought in 123 pints of blood.
Fred Gretsch, chairman of the drive, estimated that over 50 people were unable to donate blood because New South Faculty Lounge, where the drive was held, was too crowded. Some students had to wait as long as an hour and a half due to a shortage of nurses and volunteers.
The Red Cross was pleased with the results of the drive and hopes that there will be enough student interest to have another drive in spring. According to the Red Cross, it is possible to give blood up to six times a year without any harm to the donor.
In the inter-company competition within the Army ROTC, Georgetown's Ranger COl'l\pany contributed the most blood. For

RIGHTS AND ARREST
"The kids are stupid," Sullivan says, "many are grossly ignorant of the law on the most basic level. Students should be more aware of the trouble they can get themselves into."
The ignorance of many students compounds their mistakes of being arrested. Foolishly, a number of students get themselves convicted without ever standing trial. Misled by the simple procedure known as "forfeiture," they pay a $10 fine and sign a statement waiving their right to a trial. It often seems to be the easiest way out of jail, but
its effects are no better than a "guilty" verdict in a courtroom.
Mr. Sullivan sees absolutely no point whatever in signing forfeiture. "Why not stand trial?" he argues, "there's nothing to lose. It's just your word against the officer's. And if you have a witness, that's all the better."
Forfeiture is such a simple process that the innocent are frequently misled into signing. Sullivan recalled an extraordinary case where a boy had been lying on the street and was arrested for intoxication, when actually he was the victim of a gangtype beating.
To avoid complications, the unfortunate student signed forfeiture and a "guilty" plea was entered. He had not called his prefect. "Fortunately, we heard about it and were later able to get the conviction reversed, says Sullivan, "But all that could have been avoided."
Mr. Sullivan emphasizes that he and the other prefects, as well as two Jesuit law professors, are always willing to do what they can for a student in difficulty. But, he stresses, "Never use that one phone call from the j ail to call your roommate. Instead, immediately get in touch with your prefect. Most prefects are law students and can help with legal problems."

Faculty Senate Debate Over Resolution On Pension Plan
The progress on the formulation of a faculty constitution and the steps being taken by the University toward the TIAA Pension Plan were the chief concerns of the Georgetown University Faculty Senate, which met for the first time this year.
The Senate, under the chairmanship of Dr. Thomas McTighe, is an attempt to establish a voice of communication and cooperation between faculty and Administration.
Dr. Valerie Earle, head of the Constitutional Bylaws Committee, reported that the Committee, consisting of 11 faculty members and five members from the University's Board of Directors, had reached a general concensus on the new faculty constitution, and hopefully would be ready to submit it to the Senate for discussion and possible ratification at the meeting in December.
Under the constitution, the Faculty Senate would have a voice and role in educational matters, such as new degrees and courses, University budget and finance, and procedures for appointing deans to the various schools. However, Dr. Earle stressed that the Faculty Senate would in no way be empowered by the constitution to impinge upon or displace control of the University by the University's executive committees, but would only work in terms of information, consultation, administration and discussion.
Dr. John Yoklavich, head of the Faculty Affairs Committee, reported on the progress being made by the University in response to the Faculty Senate resolution of last May urging it to institute investigation of the TIAA Pension Plan.
He reported that a committee appointed by President Campbell, including both members of the Administration and faculty, had gotten in touch with. TIAA, . and on Sept. 9 met with a representa-
tive from TIAA in which they received information on the plan and discussed Georgetown's possible transfer to it.
While stressing that the University is working towards transfer to TIAA, he stated that much more work had to be done by the Administration, especially on the questions of what percentage of his salary the individual professor would have to set aside for his payment on the pension, and what portion of this rate the University would contribute. He proposed that the Senate pass a resolution expressing its willingness to go into TIAA, and advising the University to move with all immediate haste in working towards a transfer to this plan.
This proposal touched off a controversy that divided the faculty into two opinions. One that no resolution should be passed until the matter was sent back to committee for further study; and another that the benefits under TIAA, as compared to the Georgetown Pension Plan, were so obvious that there was no need for further delay.

STUDENTS OF GEORGMOWN: A.M.D.G.
Acting as your representatives, the three Georgeto'lm Student Counci~s have caU.ed for a student boycott of al.~ c~asses in- the University on Friday, October 2~. The immediate issue is the fa:i~ure of the Administration to act upon our recent request for a Georgetown- Catho~ic University football game on October 29. However, the more basic issue is the failure of the administration to acknow~edge a reso~ution which has the overwhe~ng support of the student body. We be~ieve that this constitutes a b~atant disregard for student opinion, voiced through ~eg:i.timate channels.
STUDENTS OF GEORGETOWN:
The time has come! Af'ter l.78 years of obdurate and ignorant "administration" under the Jesuits, the Georg~town Student Councils have unanimously decided that the time for action has arrived!
What has caused this viol.ent reaction on the part of the students? On the surf'ace, it is the refusal. of the Administration to consider the students' overwhelming support
In other words, what is at stake is not mere~y the student request for an additional. footba~ game, bUt the entire concept that the students themselves, the very soul of the University, should have a voice in the affairs of their University.
for a football game between GeorgetoWi. and Catholic Univ. However, the real. issue is much deeper, and f'or more critical than any footbal.l. game. It is the question whether this University-- our University-- can in conscience contin1.1.e to remain under the tyranny of the J esui ts. The :footbal.l issue merely brings the crisis to a head; it merely pOl.n~s out with extraordinary clarity the red problem:
There wil~ be a meeting of the entire student body this Friday, October 2~, at ~2:l5 PM, on Heal.y Lawn as a visib~e manifestation of our concern. lLL~ students are urged to attend.
the Jesuits have no desire and no plans to l.ibera1ize Georgetovm education to the point where it could be truly called "Georgetown Uni versi ty. "
The issue is now in the hands of you, the students. The chal~enge has been raised, and the ~dministration is waiting to see if' the Georgetown Student Body reaJ.~y has the courage, the initiative and the interest to act on this critica~ prob~em.
What is the action which we must take? Requests and pleas to the Jesuits have been useless :for over 400 years-- the J esui ts s·~i~l insist upon the basic authoritarian power structure which has sustained them since their inception. No, Georgetown can never be a true academic institution as ~ong as it is under the sway ox the Jesuit order!
The time to act is now. If this student meeting fails, This is just what we intend to propose. Georgetown must break away from the suf'focating subjugation of the Jesuits. On Friday, October 21, there will. be a massive student protest at l.2:00 on Healy Lawn. lIere the Student Uouncil.s will. present a proposal. that Father Campbell. resign and that -the University disaffiliate itself from the Jesuit Order.
the Administration wi~~ be confirmed in its POSl.tiOll, the student voice 'lJi~l. remain empty and futile, and the Georgetown Student Body w~l~ have proven conclu.sivel.y that it doesn't deserve a voice in University affairs.
Signed.
THE COLLEGE STUDENT COUNCIL THE E.'\.ST CAlI!lPUS STUDENT COUNCIL THE nURSING SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL
We strongly urge you not to attend class on Friday, and to atta~d this vital f~~ction. which could conceivably prove to the Jesuits that they are neither needed nor wanted on the Georgetovm campus.
Preview Of Psychology Departlllent; Opening Planned For Fall Of 1967
The story of the Georgetown Psychology Department is a simple one of supply and demand. The department was established in response to effective student demand, and it will develop and expand in proportion to its popularity.
Explaining the University's efforts to adjust to the economics of the psychology market, Dr . .T ohn O'Hare, chairman of the Psychology Department, outlined plans for the fall of 1967 when the department will officially open. Dr. O'Hare's proposals, which he will submit to the Executive Faculty within the next month, include provisions for the addition of six new psychology courses, two new teachers, a fully equipped psychology laboratory, expanded library holdings, and a rather stringent curriculum for psychology majors.
The tentative curriculum, he emphasized, would provide both for the student who will major in psychology and go on to graduate work, and for the student who wants to take a free elective which "he can talk about at cocktail parties."
A new department with such ambitious plans, of course, does not just spring into existence. It has taken real effort - a combined effort of administration, faculty, and students - to set up the foundations for a psychology program.
Four years ago, Georgetown began offering free electives in psychology - which was then as it is now part of the Philosophy Department. Since that time, Father William Kelly, Father Juan Cortes, Dr. Patricia Rueckel, and several others have offered individual courses in the subject, which have been met with general enthusiasm and popularity.
In the spring of 1964 a proposal was submitted by the Dean of the College to establish an undergraduate major and a department in psychology. At this time, the executive faculty rejected the proposal.
In the autumn of 1964, the situation was re-examined. A Department of Behavioral Sciences was proposed - which might include sociology, anthropology and psychology. After a number of meetings, the executive faculty decided that the idea was not viable, due to the disparity be-

tween the fields. Any new department would have to be solely a Psychology Department.
The tide turned during the 1964-'65 school year when an enterprising group of sophomores formed a Psychology Committee to protest the absence of a Georgetown Psychology Department. The committee did research on psychology programs at other universities and entrance requirements at various graduate schools, and prepared studies d e m 0 n s t rat i n g how wide the interest was in psychology at Georgetown, both as a free elective and as a major. The result of their efforts, a "detailed report," was submitted to Father Fitzgerald, then Dean of the College. Backed by further studies made by Father Kelly and Father Cortes, Father Fitzgerald, in the late autumn of '65, submitted a plan to the executive faculty. At this stage, the faculty directed outside consultance. In January of 66, outside consultance was attained with Fr. William Bier, S . .T., chairman of the Psychology Department at Fordham, and a member of the Federal Aviation Committee, with the propitious name of Dr. Freud.
As a result of their suggestions. the much-amended plan was once again slightly modifi'ed and returned to the executive faculty for approval. This time, in Feb. '66, the proposal was accepted. The stipulation was that a chairman should be appointed one year before the Department actually be-
gan operation. This chairman in the interim year would do four things: (1) plan the program in detail, (2) assess faculty needs and recruit, (3) build up library holdings, and (4) plan adequate equipping of a psychology laboratory. At the end of February, with the Board of Directors' approval, an individual Department of Psychology, along with an undergrad psychology major, was officially established at Georgetown.
Dr . .Tohn A. O'Hare, the chairman of the new Department, graduated from Boston College in 1950 with a B.S. in psychology, received his M.A. from Catholic University in '52, and in '57 was granted a Ph.D. from C.U. in physiological and experimental psychology. From '53-'59 he worked for the U .S.N. Medical Research Laboratory in New London, Conn., in the fields of psycho-acoustics, bio-acoustics, and audiology. From '59-'61, he was a human factors and systems engineer for International Electric Corp., a subsidiary of l.T.&T.; and from '61-'64 and '64-'66 he worked in the same field for the United Aircraft Corporation and the Mitre Corp., respectively.
Dr. O'Hare also did some teaching, from '61-'64 at Hartford in general psychology, and from '64-'66 as a lecturer at Georgetown. This year, he is teaching elementary statistics first semester and experimental psychology second semester.

Math Whiz Comes To GU; 13- Year-Old In Grad School
Life is pretty rough when you're just 13 years old. You have to worry about Mickey Mantle's batting average and the World Series. You begin to think of girls in a different sense. And, if you are a 13-year-old like Stephen Solvz, you also have to worry about your continuous functions and mathematical analysis.
Steve, a studious youngster from Arlington, is currently enrolled in the Georgetown Graduate School for Math. Tuesday and Thursday nights find the brown-haired Solvz in Room 283 of the Science Building listening to Dr . .T. A. Wood teach topology.
The road that led to that seat in Room 283 began last. year in Arlington Public Library. Pedro Saavedra, a senior this year, was in the habit of using the solitude of the library to read math books. Many times, he found himself sitting opposite "some 12-year-old kid" also reading math texts.
The only thing that threw Saavedra, who is considered by his classmates to be knowledgeable on the subject of math, was that "this kid was reading books about two levels more difficult than the ones I had."
Steve, also notiCing that Saavedra seemed to be interested in math, asked the Georgetown student where he attended school. When their mutual interest had been established, their friendship grew.
Saavedra was instrumental in arrangements to allow the young math whiz to sit in on a second semester advanced calculus class at GU. Steve then enrolled in a summer school class in Modern Algebra. The final step, permitting a 13-year-old in a graduate math
class, was made jointly by Professor Abdul Aziz, head of the Math department, and the Dean.
Even though all the other students in the class are either seniors or first-year graduate students, Steve has found no trouble at all in adjusting to the class. In fact, he has been sought out by some fellow classmates for explanations of some points which the youngster brought out in class.
A ninth grader at Woodson High School in Arlington, he has not found any of his other subjects suffering because of advanced class2s in math. His last report card showed three A's, two B's, and a C. One of the B's, he admitted sheepishly, was in a simple Algebra course.
"Guess I was just too careless," he admitted.
Steve, whose father works for NASA and whose brother is a junior at Woodson, is at a loss to explain his proficiency in math.
"I never really had any trouble with it, and then in the sixth grade, I started to like it. It was then that I started doing extra reading on the subject," he said.
Previous to meeting Pedro Saavedra in the library, Steve was under the private tutelage of Professor Carol Karp at the University of Maryland. Although he- likes Georgetown, he would like to attend Princeton University and study to be a professor. This summer, he hopes to enroll in a special program at Ohio State University.
While no one seems to know whether or not Steve Solvz is the smartest student ever enrolled in the Georgetown's graduate school, there isn't much doubt that he is one of the youngest.

EDITORIALS: Gaines Leaders Play Two events of the past week seem to point
to the currently ambivalent nature of student government at Georgetown. The HOY A has seen fit to explore this area further, and consequently has culled a number of essays on the topic. These are printed on pages eight and nine as this week's installment of The HOYA Symposium. Let me reiterate, develop, and add to some of the ideas expressed there.
First of all joint action of the Student Councils has led to the Board of Directors decision to make over the Catholic U. scrimmage into a game. If this had not occurred, the Councils were to call a limited boycott of classes last Friday. Our student government leaders assure us that the semantic difficulty between "scrimmage" and "game" was not so important in itself. What was at stake was the power of the student body to be heard by those who have the power to decide.
That is fine and good. It might be better, however, if the leaders were a little clearer about what they plan to do with the powerful voice they have discovered among themselves. Do they have a direction, something underneath the impressive slogans and the rigamarole of weekly agendas? Are they concerned with any real issues beyond the usual ones corralled in any number of committees. If so, a demonstration of this might be in order.
One chance to indicate just this was clearly flubbed over the past weekend. The "Uni
'.--1
versity Leadership Conference" was illplanned, questionably executed, and of little significance. Some students, unable to attend the opening session and faced with the nonexistence of available schedules missed out on this chance to display their leadership qualities.
The major problem with the conference centered around certain internal differences within the College Student Council. It is of minor import to the student body at large whether some Council members do not agree with the views of their secretary. A Leadership Conference is a good idea. Its proper execution would depend on some preliminary definition of what such a Conference involves, as well as some amount of cooperation among those who are to organize it.
It is also necessary that the Chairman properly inform those he wishes to attend, and also be ready to accept and discuss attitudes that differ from his. Progress has never come from less than stress and strain. I am afraid that both ends of this struggle are more interested in concensus.
When this is everyone's goal, then student government is becoming student politics, in the worst sense of that word. We may be near that point now.
In conclusion, kudos to Frances the Maid whose brief speech was by far the best of the Conference: "Change day!" Now something might be done to establish the mechanics through which change could be realized, and true leadership be brought to the fore.

Hoya - The Open Newspaper There may exist somewhere an Open Uni
versity, where every responsible person's voice can be heard and respected. There's a bit too much pettiness at Georgetown among competing circles to establish anything of the sort. Meanwhile we are left with the imperfect channels we now have to talk to each other. Talk may never lead to act under these circumstances.
The HOYA is one channel open to all members of the University. It is significant, we believe, that persons from most walks of Georgetown life are willing to contribute articles to this newspaper.
Dr. George W. Carey, of the Government Department, has written an essay on pre-
election politics in America. Dr. Raymond Reno, of the English Department, has reviewed the Arena Stage production of Macbeth. And Father Thomas Fitzgerald, S.J., has offered his views on student government for our Symposium. All appear in this issue.
Other such contributions will be forthcoming. For example, next week Dr. Louis Dupre will write on the new film, The Bible.
The major body of writ~ng will be done, as always, by students. But 'we hope that increased participation by faculty and Administration, in letters or articles, will firmly establish that we have at Georgetown, at least, an Open Ne·wspaper.

Council Corner The Nurses are no longer silent_
Kathy Devlin, secretary of the Nursing School Student Council, announced that with the approval of Dean Ann M. Douglas, the Student Council had elected three nursing students to participate in different administrative committees.
Karen Reed will serve on the Committee on Admissions, Ellen McCarthy on the Committee on Students, and Ann Grady on the Committee on Education. This is the first time that students have been allowed to sit on administrative committees anywhere in the University.
Dean Douglas outlined the purpose of this experiment as a means to acquaint the student body with the administrative structure and functioning of the Nursing School, and to provide a liaison between faculty and students in order to plan for the common good of the student body.
The Nursing School is also considering the possibility of giving a registered nurse a seat on the Council, who would represent the interests of the registered nurses enrolled in Georgetown University School of Nursing.
Maurie McIntire, president-elect of the Council, made a motion that Vice President Leona Florek examine the proposal of holding the parents' weekend in conjunction with the College and East Campus_ Miss Florek will also investigate the question of improving the quality of alcohol served at social events since the advent of the open bar.
The Fall Festival, sponsored by the Yard and under the chairmanship of Richard Davis and George Mackiw, recorded a record $2300 profit.

Frosh. Elections:· Six in Prexy Tilt, Runoff Tomorrow
College campaigns for freshman class offices will be ushered to a close tomorrow as a hopeful 40 per cent quota attempt· to unveil the mysteries of the preferential system on the steps of Copley Hall.
Six candidates are in the race for president. Four were nominated in Gaston Hall last week; two others produced petitions at the eleventh hour.
rHE HOYA
Presidential hopeful Don Casper advocates academic committees to solve many of the problems now plaguing freshmen in the chemistry and math fields. Bryan Phelan plants his platform on the watchwords "unity and humility." Liberalization or abolishment of weekend hours and distinctive classsponsored activities that will not only unify the Class of 1970, but "make it something other than just another freshman class" are the chief aims of John Costello. William Lytton is opposed to "extravagant platforms, made up of expedient promises designed exclusively to get votes." The other candidate, Philip Cardinale, was unavailable for comment.
College freshmen will determine who will lead their class tomorrow from this field of six contenders.
A starting field of four candidates for vice president was narrowed to three with the withdrawal of Paul Smith, Monday, leaving Frank Burch, Tom Nealon and Gerard Hackett still in contention.
Only one Freshman, Alan Cariddi, filed for secretary at the nominating speeches. Five others ap-
peared in the running by the next morning. They are Andrew McCue, James McDonald, Michael Ellis, Tim Fowler and Ronald Gailun.
The formidable task of allocating some $250 donated by the Class of 1968 will fall to the frosh treasurer. Candidates for the post include Philip Cutler, Jeffrey Purtell, Robert Foblia and Thomas Schlafly.
A close race materialized between the candidates for student council representative. Running for the council seat are Jay Nichols, Jerry Munier, Raymond Vance and William Ryan.

E.C. To Widen Student Voice In Overall Academic Sphere
Reorganization of the representative system and an administrative overhaul mark the East Campus Student Council efforts to widen the student voice in the academic sphere, bring better communication among the undergraduate representative bodies and cut back rampant spending that has led to abuses in the past.
To protect the individuality and provide for the academic interests of the students of Foreign Service, Institute of Languages and Linguistics, and the Business School, three a cad em i c representatives have been added to the voting membership of the Council. :rack McNaJly represents the interests of the Foreign Service School, John SpotiIla serves as academic representative for the Institute and Alan Segal sits for the Business School.
The a cad e m i c representatives who were elected last spring as a result of a new constitutional amendment are responsible for the publication of a course critique, the selection of Who's Who candidates, and Council liaison with the faculty.
Ellen Canepa, president of the Nursing School Student Council, and a representative from the College Student Council have also been added to the Council as nonvoting members with full' speaking privileges.
Keven McKenna, president of the Council, invited the Yard and the Nursing School to sit with the East Campus Council in order to improve communications among the three student councils.
Father Anthony Zeits, S.J., has replaced Father Gerard Brown, S.J., as moderator for the Council. Fr. Brown resigned in order to complete his doctoral dissertation.
Two major administrative committees have been added to jmprove the management of and to provide for a .financial check upon Council finances and to widen the representation of students on the Council.
The' Executi'le Council, made up of representatives from the major residential groups and student activities from the major residential groups and student activities, is the legislative subcommittee of the Student Council. Any member of the Executive Committee can have legislation introduced on the Student Council if it is passed by the other members of the Executive Council.
John Lacey, vice president of the overall Council, serves as chairman of the Executive Council and is responsible for introducing its legislation at meetings of the Student Council. A resolution concerning the University's responsibilities to the metropolitan police is now being considered by the committee.

DOCTOR RUEDY
Dr. Ruedy Lectures IRe On Problems In Eastern Politics
Dr. John Ruedy, professor of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown University, addressed the International Relations Club on Thursday, Oct. 20 in the Hall of Nations. Dr. Ruedy, who taught at U.C.L.A. and Le Sorbonne before coming to Georgetown, spoke on the topic "Cultural Realities in Middle Eastern Politics." The talk was delivered to 120 students, and a reception and informal discussion followed.
The thesis presented by Dr. Ruedy was that United States diplomats must consider three important factors when dealing with the Middle East, factors which are too often ignored. These "cultural realities" are psychological, sociological realities.
The psychological reality affecting the Middle Eastern mentality is the contradiction between the dogma of the Muslim faith that Muslims, especially Arabs, are inherently superior to all other people, and the reality that the Muslims were forced to accept and incorporate much Western thought in order to prevent their total annihilation. The Muslim conflict between despising the "inferior enemy," hating him for rubbing his nose in the dirt, and yet trying to copy his way of life, led to a psychological reaction which often expresses itself in a blind and destructive lashing out against anything Western. Dr. Ruedy contends that this factor in the Muslim mind cannot be ignored when dealing with the Middle East.

The Ladies Guild of Georgetown University in cooperation with the Collegiate Club will sponsor the 15th annual Concert and Dance for the benefit of the Student Loan Fund.
The benefit, set for Nov. 4 in McDonough Gymnasium, will feature a concert by the National Symphony under the direction of Howard Mitchell with compositions of light classical music. Immediately following, a formal dance will be held with "Music by Devron." Mixed drinks will be available.
"The entire Georgetown community is invited to attend this traditionally successful event," said Don Schaller, president of the Collegiate Club. "It promises to be a complete and enjoyable date." date."
Past benefits indicate the advisability of buying tickets early, he added.
Tickets will be available beginning Sunday, Oct. 30, in the New South Lobby and the Collegiate Club office on first Copley. For further information contact the Collegiate Club, 337-6791.
The Ladies Guild, initially composed of wives of Georgetown professors and mothers of Georgetown students, was originally founded to promote the better interests of Georgetown.
After the formation of the Student Loan Fund, the Ladies Guild turned their efforts in that direction and have since raised approximately $60,000 for the fund.

Leading Scientists Will Speak At '67 Pasteur Lectures
Georgetown University recently announced the third annual Louis Pasteur Science Lecture Series to be held at the University in the spring of 1967.
Inaugurated in 1964, this series is designed to bring to the Washington academic and scientific communitya speaker who is chosen for his leadership in an advancing field of science so that the lectures will present not only one of the most significant aspects of science today, but also one of the most illustrious contributors to that aspect.
tional benefits of the University to the student. It has little or no disciplinary power. Students are left to their own discretion in this matter.
(Last year's house councils were instrumental in changing the rules pertaining to drinking on campus and in gaining the elimination of room checks for upperclassmen and a liberalization for freshmen.)
Because of the seemingly growing power of the house councils, many student government leaders fear the students will turn more toward the house organization rather than the overall student government. Administrative officials have remained quiet on the matter, neither giving endorsement nor condemning the idea.
"There is no reason why the house councils cannot survive as useful bodies within the frame

Symbol of Georgetown's progress in science.
In keeping with the goals and precedents already established, the University is pleased to announce that our 1967 speaker will be Professor Victor F. Weisskopf. Emfnent in the field of nuclear physics and a member of the faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Professor Weisskopf has recently been the director of CERN (Ie Conseil Europene pour la Recherche Nucleaire) in Geneva, the principal European center of high energy nuclear research. The subject of the coming lectures will be Fundamental Particles.
This subject has been selected
because of an apparent consensus among the faculty of the University and the local scientific community that fundamental particle physics is the most interesting of subjects in the field of the physical sciences at the present time, and that an adequate public presentation of the state of the science has not been made in recent years.
There is a general feeling among non-physicists that the ambitions of physicists to explain all matter and material interactions in terms of a small number of fundamental particles seems to have become progressively more remote in the last decade, as the number of experimentally observed particles of masses smaller than the hydrogen atom began to become as large as the number of chemical elements, as the means of experimental observations became more sensitive and the energies at our disposal more tremendous.
Physics seems to some to have become transformed from an elegantly theoretical science to a grossly empirical and experimental discipline. During the last two years however, a number of new developments and a number of new conceptions have appeared which may, it seems, result in the reduction of this embarrassment of empirical riches to a more limited and understandable set of relations.,
Professor Weisskopf was born in Vienna and educated at the University of Goettingen. He came to the United States in 1937 after spending several years as a Research Associate successively at the Universities of Berlin and Copenhagen and at the Institute of Technologie in Zurich. Originally at the University of Rochester, he later was associated with the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos before join-

Hoya May -Have First Foreign Correspondent
Next semester The HOYA may have its first Brazilian correspondent as a result of Mark Woods (S.F.S. '67) and the U.S. Department of State putting their heads together.
Due to the fact that campus ,newspapers are not allowed at the University- of Brazil at Brasilia, there are many frustrated student-journalists there.
It has been suggested to the ---------------government and the University that these students write for campus papers here. The articles would be brought north by diplomatic pouch. .
This is part of the AmerIcan peoples' answer to the disc~ncerting threat of the commumst on our doorstep and the discomforting sight of chaotic misery to the south. Partners of the Alliance for Progress, a little but highly productive brother of the gigantic Al-liance for Progress, is a manifestation of a feeling across the country that the closer our people get to the people they are helping the more good it will do in terms .of tangible accomplishment and kmtting the hemisphere together.
Partners of the Alliance is a plan by which one private local group in this country binds itself in interest as well as aid to a corresponding area in Latin America. In this manner Californians help out six Mexican States and Marylanders concentrate on the state of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Local solutions to problems here work great down there and vice-versa.
Partners of the Alliance has worked well during its three years. People in the U.S. have proven their interest in people to the south. Last summer the Partners of the Alliance D.C.-Brasilia decided to go further. Assuming that students are interested in students they established a D.C.-Brasilia student committee. The Georgetown newspaper project is the first to be tried under the new group and will be watched as a test case to determine areas of further expansion.
Probably not least among the motives for establishing our pilot connection is the desire to conciliate what seems like one of the most outspoken and virulently antiAmerican sectors of Latin American society. Mark Woods, who was in several Latin American countries this summer, saw the situation differently. He found that the Latin American student, while casting a jaundiced eye on American intervention in his government, still does not dislike the American or even his presence in his country.
The student to student idea is America's best bet yet for rectifying the situation, thinks Woods. If an American student community can be firmly lashed to one in South America and democratic advantages offered, then a reasonable, responsible citizenry better able to solve the problems it must, will mature to guide South America to its future.
Will this thing really work or will it fizzle into some kind of vague Sunday morning Good Intention? Woods says that since its beginning, Partners of the Alliance has had a budget allotment of $100,000 a year by the U.S. Government. Every year, on the average, Partners of the Alliance has meant a million dollars worth on everything from X-ray machines to school buses for Latin American communities. Red tape and governmental middle management has been consistently kept to a minimum. The whole operation is monitored from three rooms in the State Department.
The stUdent-committee has future plans including student exchanges and cultural and educational exhibits, exchanges and dialogues.
The newspaper scheme still has to be ironed out through diplomatic channels, but next semester may see the first diplomatic pouch emptied at The HOYA.
Peace Conference Focus: u.N. Action; Hoya Heads Panel
The Catholic Association for International Peace will hold its 39th annual conference Oct. 27-29 at the Shoreham Hotel. The highlight of the conference will be a student panel discussion Friday night at 7 p.m.
James Capra (ColI. '68) will chair the panel. Michael Lenaghan, from Pax Romana in New York City; Richard Courage, from National Federation of Catholic College Students; Dorothy Barsh, from the National Newman Student Federation; and Gabriel Huck, from the Catholic Peace Fellowship will serve as panel members.
The topic for consideration is "Possibilities of Peace through the United Nations." Following brief introductory addresses by each of the panelists, the proposition will be open for group discussion.
The conference is being run in cooperation with the International Affairs Commission of the Na-
FR. BERRIGAN
tional Council of Churches. The theme of this year's conference is "Fostering Peace and the Community of Nations."
The Catholic Association of Peace is a nationwide group of undergraduates and graduates, experienced in social problems, dedicated to fostering peace throughout the world. It is an intellectual organization, which numbers many prominent educators among its members.
Numerous representatives from the faculty and student body of Georgetown are members of the organization. William E. Moran, former Dean of the School of Foreign Service, is president of the group. The executive vice-president is Charles P. O'Donnell, Associate Dean of the School of Foreign Service.
Other topics to be discussed at the three-day session are the threat to peace in Rhodesia and South Africa, student action in community development in underdeveloped countries, the Vietnamese threat to the United Nations, and peace in the European community.
Featured speakers of the conference are Rev. Daniel Berrigan, S.J., an outspoken Jesuit against U. S. policy in Vietnam, and Robert Hoy, editor of the National Catholic Reporter.

To the Editor: As we were saying before we
were, we are (by the fact that the curriculum is planned, in the first two years, to constipate liberally by acquainting the student with the three broad areas of anthropomorphic sphygmomanometers). In conclusion, it therefore follows logically, on the other hand. We see no justification, therefore, (why?

MOVIES To the Editor-:
What's with all the movies? I've heard it said that the cinema is the bread of the average college student's intellectual meal (a not neccessariIy complimentary comment) and your Features Editor would certainly have us so believe. If I want a college student's evaluation of the latest movie, I'll ask my roommate. I certainly don't need to read it in The HOYA. I understand one can find fifty (dare I say a hundred ??) professional film reviews in our library's periodical section in any given week.
Naturally film reviewing is a dimension a newspaper should not totally ignore, but you review far fewer worthwhile "films" of perhaps little publicity and considerable interest for the college student, than you do run-of-the-mill "movies." Besides, the best of your reviews are only clever imitations of Time magazine. ,And certainly I don't need five column-inches of Mr. John Kissel to tell me that anything with "spy" in its title is likely to be pop.

REVOLTING To the Editor:
The difficulty with Lewis Gilbert's "overall superb direction" of his Alfie is that "this different critique of an empty ethic" is aesthetically even more vacuus than its content.
Leaving aside the obviousness of the plot and character-study (ex-
panded to two hours by endless redundencies), the terribly effeminate portrayal of Alfie himself and the obnoxiousness of his unceasing tongue, one is still left with the remarkably unimaginative cinematic sense of the direction.
Gilbert fills th~ large portion of his footage with identical repetitions of the same (poor) shot: a semi-close-up of the characters rather as one would see them by peering through a mail-shot.
Some degree of relief is provided by communication of the atmosphere of dirt, exhaustion and dispair which seems inevitably to fester in pretentious British movies, yet only rarely (about 20 seconds altogether) does Gilbert elevate his mise-en-scene to a level worthy of adult participation.
Gilbert's feeling for the elan of the cinema is practically non-existent, and his movie could only be enjoyed by those delighting in the revolting_

RE SPORTS To the Editor:
Since Wade Antoine Halabi has once again used The HOYA to vent his undeserved and uninformed wrath against the Athletic Department, and since it is evident that he knows very little of what he is talking about, I feel that it is incumbent upon me to answer his latest diatribe. I will not answer that part of Mr. Halabi's letter which deals with swimming because Sports Editor Joe O'Brien has already made short work of this complaint. What I would like to answer in this letter are his disparaging remarks against the Sports Information Department.
Mr. Halabi was aggravated by the lack of news coverage of the G.U.-Penn State cross-country meet and the G_U.-Maryland soccer match. I am sorry Mr. Halabi allowed himself to become aggravated by these two "non-occurrences," as he puts it. However, after spending so much time around McDonough in his years at Georgetown, he should know that the Sports Information Department is made up of a grand total of two people, the Sports Information Director, who is employed and paid on a part time basis, and an assistant, who is an unpaid student. I happen to be that student and have been for over two years.

Hoya Sympos;u~mNo. 4: Student Government -The HOY A Symposium departs from its
usual format of taping hour discussion and collating the information for an article. This week the Symposium gathers varying viewpoints on the problem of student government and presents them as follows. Your written
. reactions are welcome.
Student Self-Government
(Reprinted from the Editorials, "America" magazine, issue of October 15, 1966).
With another school year under way, college students are again voicing demands for a greater share in school government. They
. press for decision-making roles in almost every major area of university policy and operation. It is debatable whether the present crop of college students is more in need of self-government than past collegiate generations were. At any rate, today's students are demanding more.
There is no defensible reason why students should not be given the fullest possible appropriate expression of self-government in the operation of a university. Fitting exercise of freedom on the part of students would include, among other things, the running of student body elections, the managing of an officially recognized student discipline board, the formation and conducting of student clubs and other organizations, and the staging of university programs of various kinds. The student discipline board would be authorized by school officials to mete out to offending students proper penalties reinforced by adequate sanctions. In the event of more serious violations, calling for suspension or dismissal, the student board would have the right of referral to the faculty disciplinary board.
In addition, university authorities should invite bona fide students to submit opinions and suggestions on school matters to both administration and faculty. It ought to be made clear to them, however, that they should not expect decision-making participation in areas proper to the administration and the faculty. Such matters as academic requirements for graduation, the employment and promotion of faculty members, the sale of contraceptives in the university store, and dormitory visiting regulations ought to be determined by the administration. There are many ways of running a university properly. Placing top-level executive and academic decisions on the shoulders of students is not one of them.
It is important that school authorities should clearly mark out the areas of jurisdiction . appropriate to administrators, faculty members and students. A distinct division of. proper authority will offer each of these groups-and particularly students-the opportunity to govern effectively with a minimum of unpleasantness.
A Jesuit Who Prefers To Remain Anonymous A student government can play an effective
role in the' life of a university. The responsibility for achieving this effectiveness belongs, I think, to the administration of the university, but also, and perhaps particularly to the students themselves.
The administration should be open and responsive to dialogues with the student government and should seek to encourage greater student assumption of responsibility in the operations of the university.
The burden of success or failure of student government, however, rests with the students themselves. The present student council structure at Georgetown with its three part division only serves to deny any ability to assume real responsibility within the University. Unity among the councils is imperative if anything worthwhile is to be accomplished. Concomitant with this unity is the necessity for the student government to concern themselves with the substantial questions of the University-this means not only directing their attention to disciplining rules but, more imp-ortantly, requesting a high level of participation. in academic and administrative policy making. Students can and should have a say in what courses are to be offered in various departments and whether a particular teacher has been justifiably dismissed by the University.
An encouraging move toward unity of the three Georgetown councils was made last week.
The issue which brought this cooperation about, however, was unfortunate. We are told that the real issue was the lack of responsiveness to the student government by the Administration of the University, which is perhaps less than it should be. But the fact is that the focal point of the incident was a football game with Catholic University, an issue somewhat less than meaningful.
I think that until the student councils on campus are unified, until they confront the crucial issues of the University and organize the student body in favor of or opposition to those issues, student government at Georgetown wiII continue to grope towards irrelevance.

"The acid test of student government is leadership, an ability which election cannot confer."
Robert Mannix (Student)
'.~, .-
The problem with student go:v-ernment in general, and in particular, at Georgetown, is that student councils rarely, if ever, have any governmental functions or powers. Constitutions drawn up in a grandiose style are often found, upon close examination, to be relatively meaningless in practice. Contrary to what preambles to such constitutions normally state, the powers student councils normally possess do not derive ultimately from the "University Administration," but solely from the ability of the councils to galvanize student support for its actions.
This was dramatically demonstrated at Georgetown last week. The three Georgetown stUdent councils suddenly discovered that they were totally at the mercy of the whims of the Administration, unless they could mobilize active student support for their position. Only the threat of a naked show of force-in the form of a student boycott of classes-gave them any bargaining position at all. In other words the effectiveness of the student councils depended entirely on the leadership ability of the individual members, and not at all upon the councils' constitutional powers. Almost everyone is agreed that "student government" at Georgetown would have been vastly discredited by the failure of the proposed boycott. The irony of the situation is that the Administration de-
elined the test, and conceded the student councils' demands, despite the fact that wellinformed persons agree that the boycott would have been a moderate failure at best. This seems to indicate the extraordinary weakness of the Administration's position, and the fear which words like "St. John's" strike into the hearts of Second Healy officials.
The real problem at Georgetown is that student government rarely concerns itself with issues of vital importance to the students, and should a "showdown" with the Administration occur, student government would probably lose for lack of student support. The councils have, for example, made no strong demands in the area of curriculum reform, and yet the major justification for defeating last year's unification proposals was supposedly that the individual academic character of each school required several councils. If all that student government can do at Georgetown is run a few social events, then perhaps the Yard, as well as the other councils, should drop their pretensions, and return to what they started out to be 75 years ago-mere social events committees.
The trouble with student government at Georgetown is that it tends to be officious . . , tImId, self-satisfied, and (above all) bureau-cratic-none of which is conducive to stUdent support or enthusiasm. The acid test of student government is leadership, an ability which election to office cannot confer.

" •• until the student councils are u.nified • • • student government at Georgetown will continue to grope towards irrelevance."
David Mulchinock (College Senior President)
What is the purpose of student government at Georgetown University? There are many possible answers to this question and there are also many mistaken notions which can only hurt student government. The student government of Georgetown faces a challenge to define its proper function and strengthen its internal structure, i.e., the form of student government.
A concept of Georgetown University as a community of three segments: namely, Students, Administration, and Faculty each seeking certain immediate goals but the same end, explains a basis from which student government may proceed. We must then analyze the situation as it is, not the way we would like it to be.
A student comes to a university seeking an education. This term education encompasses many meanings. It includes academic as well as the total action of his years' here at Georgetown. His value should be to get the most out of this phase of his life. Where, then, does student government fit into this picture? If we follow the community idea, we know that we should have some role in determining the pattern of our activity. But how much control should we have? Student government must not become part of the Administration. It should represent the views of those people it represents in a responsible way. It falls to the university community itself to be responsible to the three segments in making decisions affecting all. It is very hard to understand why a cry arises in a university to let the students decide the issues affecting them by the power of a vote when we are unwilling to commit ourselves totally to this function. Do you wish to be an administrator of this university? Furthermore, are you willing to devote all your time to administrative affairs?
The basic assumption of responsible student government is that properly conveyed student opinion will be weighed in any judgments concerning the students. It is up to the student government to assess and formalize this opinion. To the student council falls the task of seeing that once formalized, student opinion is given to the administrators. What the action of this group will be depends mainlyon the manner in which they have presented their case. The basis for their attitudes will depend largely on the goodwill engendered by a responsible student opinion which remembers the past mistakes but works with the idea of future accomplishments.
In the years that I have been a student at Georgetown there has been a marked change on the part of the Administration regarding their attitudes toward the students' role in the University Community. A mature attitude has marked both the students and Administration. But all concerned must realize that the impetus for change can come from students as well as Administration.
Students are thinking members of the Georgetown community and the impetus for solution of problems needs to be shared with them.
In conclusion then, student government must create the situation in which student opinion is heard and valued and, secondly, channel and formalize this opinion accurately.
" .. student government must create the situation in which student opinion is heard and valued."
"The 'free' student must be willing to accept the consequences of his actions, and should recognize the rights • .• appropriate • .• to others of the university."
Fr. Thomas Fitzgerald, S.J. (Academic Vice-President)
Good American universities are not ivyfringed cloisters where scholars silently and contemplatively quest for the never quite attainable Grail of "wisdom." Like their medieval archetypes, the universities are the focal points for occasional tugging and shoving between "Town" and "Gown" (by nature rather incompatible) and for a greater incidence of joyous intramural conflict. For, if the people in the university are alive, the great issues of human existence are constantly coming to the surface: at the intellectual level, truth is pursued not through comfortable consensus but through the dialectical tension of argument and dispute; and at the societal level the achievement of right order among all the members of the university is a precious goal constantly sought for but one that, since life is always in motion, is never permanently or securely grasped.
StUdent government is, I think, to be seen within this context. If it is sometimes involved in strife, this need not be a symptom of illness. A student leader should, like the protege of Phoenix, be both a "speaker of words and doer of deeds"-as should also leaders within the faculty and within the Administration-but unlike Phoenix's angry protege he should not wish to put thongs through his adversary's heels and drag him behind his chariot. He should not be reluctant as a leader, and should even gain a certain joy from the struggles-perhaps this too holds t:;:ue of other leaders-but he should not be so swept along by this delight or his own eloquence as to enter upon "total war," for he always r€calls Snow's admonition in Corridors of Power that "in any dog-fight all the dogs lose."
Nowadays students have a more adult role to fill in university life; they are not simply minors, nor is the university "dear old Mother" (Alma Mater in loco parentis). There are freedoms and rights, but also responsibilities. The "free" student must be willing to accept the consequences of his actions, and should recognize the rights which are appropriate to faculty members and others of the university.
Student government should look to the interests of students, but not in a narrowly partisan fashion. Nor should it fear its constituents or merely reflect their wishes. From its vantage point of greater information and a broader view it should lead them as well as represent-this is the true ideal of democratic government-should enlighten as well as obey. It should acknowledge the peripheral's existence, but recognize it as such, and should experience the greatest concern for that which is central to the whole enterprise: academic endeavor-and should work constantly and constructively to assist in its achievement.
It seems clear that students should have a genuin'e voice' in the management of their lives: in social events, in co-curricular activities, 'in the regulations that govern campus behavior. Their participation in governing the academic is a more difficult question. Each student selects institution, curriculum and elective courses. Should student government also participate in admissions, curriculum change, planning for university development? Possibly. Should it have any say in instruction, or in the hiring, promotion and terminating of faculty? Activity in these latter areas would almost surely pose a threat to faculty academic freedom, and it is hard to imagine that 'faculty would not seek to

repulse any incursions into these areas. In case anyone hasn't noticed, those recent grumblings might be translated approximately as follows: "Stop shoving."
There have been great advances at Georgetown in student government; there have also been occasional regressions. Whether student government will continue to progress meaningfully in the time ahead depends, I think, very, very much upon the wisdom, the insight, the balance of its elected leaders. Who can be certain of the final outcome?

With the possible exception of Time (to be sure, the most overwritten and underthought journalistic clap-trap available), there is no more widely read magazine on campus today than Playboy. The reason is fairly simple: its inherent innocence. Hugh Hefner has brilliantly analyzed the American Male, discovered his basic fear of sex, and capitalized on it to the tune of several million dollars.
Hefner has by now standardized his technique, and month after month seeks to soothe the masculine conscience. First,

But then, it's only the name .that is actually important: that's what satisfies our readers' scruples. "The Playboy Philosophy"-Hefner's monthly rationalization of his own sexual deficiencies-is, of course, beyond comment. But "The Playboy Advisor" is perhaps more indicative of the magazine's real intention. Their
version of Dear Abby, with its comments of everything from education to etiquette, is determined to prove to the Male his own 'virility, to encourage it and bolster its ego. Their campaign to cultivate a breed of James BOlids-all smoking the least familiar brand of cigarette, and drinking the least available vintage of wine-is rooted in a deep-felt fear of the female species.

MOVIES: Kaleidoscope A Kaleidoscope is an instrument
through which one looks to see variously shaped .and changing patterns of color and design. What is seen may not make much sense, but the overall effect is rather pleasant.
And such is the case with Kaleidoscope, an unpretentious British mystery or comedy (depending on your mood) whose plot is something of an illogical hybrid of Help! and Goldfinger. A sub-director of Scotland Yard is bent on putting away "Dominion," a little man with a Napoleon fixation, not for his dabblings in dope trade but because he's "Bad."
To help apprehend him, the Yard deputizes Warren Beatty, an affluent Cincinnati Kid who has just cleverly but criminally broken the collective banks of Monte Carlo, Lucarno and London by intricate dirty dealings. Improbable enough, the Yard will let Warren keep his ill-gotten gains if he can manage to cheat Dominion out of his fortune at poker.
The remainder of the film involves rides, a chase to the death around an old castle and the triumph of not only justice but morality-when Beatty vows to make an honest woman out of Sussanah York, the Inspector's spirited, kooky daughter. The prospect, however, does not especially appeal to her, and she professes to prefer a life of sin.
If this storyline sounds confused and implausible to you, congratulate yourself because it is. The film itself, however, is sometimes hilarious, sometimes exciting and always interesting. Director Jack Smith has overcome a weak plot to draw a series of witty, memorable characters, both in major and minor roles, and furthermore has per-
formed the heretofore impossible task of turning Warren Beatty into something of an actor.
Sussanah York is impishly charming, giving life and even credibility to even the most preposterous situations. The film is shot in glorious Kaleidoscope, which means that images suddenly dissolve with a poof of color and then re-assemble into the next scene. If nothing else, photographer Christopher Charles' technique certainly keeps the viewer aware of the film's title and shaky plot continuity .

ON THE THAMES
Month. Inevitably, the girls are modeled on the masculine ideal of feminine beauty in America-blond hair, blue eyes, and big breasts. They are always pictured in an Eden with no apple. These are girls to Play with, not Mate with. Sexuality is sacrificed to it girlish, sisterly look, so consistent with that peculiar American fear. The Playmates are cleverly shown helping their mothers with dinner, or teaching their little sisters to sew. Perhaps even the mother-image is sought in their preoccupation with massive bosoms. It's enough to take your breast away-excuse me, I meant to say "breath," but that's a typical mistake. Look how the cartoons distort to· a tittilating degree the breasts of their caricatures-to keep our eyes from wandering any lower, no doubt. Even the nonfiction articles-like this month's "The Sexual Freedom League"-display an awed, curiously detached view of sexual mores, that is essentially more puritan than purient. And the final irony is Hefner's reputed insistence that his Club "bunnies" be virginal-a paradox in terms, but a house rule nonetheless.
And so, all you readers out there in dreamland, I hope you enjoy being victims of Hefner's grand hoax. Personally, I never touch the stuff.

ROYAL. BALLET Ballet has never been the great
American indoor sport, and in spite of strong culture-pocketswhich seem to grow stronger each day-it has rarely gained the enthusiastic response in this country that is cliche in Europe. That American queasiness about this paramountly physical art has been to its own loss is made very clear by the Royal Ballet's Romeo and Juliet, a film of the most recent Covent Garden production based on the Prokofiev score. The Royal Ballet is remarkable for the high quality of its whole company, but it is obvious that most of one's attention is drawn to the most magnificent pair of dancers of our day: Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev. Everybody says Nureyev is great; and for once "everybody" is so right. But the joy of watching "Rudi" has shown followers of the ballet once again how great is the art of Dame Margot.
Romeo is a perfect role for Nureyev, the former premier danseur of the Leningrad-Kirov Company. Romeo is young, and indeed Nureyev, smallish and with rather delicate features, seems all youth. The Montagu runs through his life from emotion to emotion just as Nureyev runs from movement to movement through his portrayal. Juliet would seem less than the most appropriate role for Dame Margot, who is past her days of youth. But she must remember very well, because the conviction of her performance is not even weakened by the occasionally tasteless camera close-ups. Miss Fonteyn dances as brilliant a Juliet as one could hope to see in a lifetime. She lives the growth of first love, with naivete, hopefulness, progressive imprudence, and then abandon. Dame Margot has said that Nureyev has made her a better dancer, has made her see things that she has never understood in the dance before. Perhaps this along with her own special and full talents has brought her to new fame .
Prokofiev's music has been described as having a sense of lyrical athleticism. His music for Romeo and Juliet is supremely lyrical, but spaced carefully with rhythmic angularities that keep the motion rather quick. Prokofiev very properly understated the pageant-musle of wedding, the ball, and the like, so that it does not intrude with the principal elements of the story. His music is direct but still subtle and understated, understated yet deeply effective and moving.
The choreography is a fine blend of classical traditional elements 8.nd many newer strains. Nureyev himself is becoming a principal choreographic advisor to the Royal Ballet and to many smaller Western companies; and there is much of his own idiosyncracy in Romeo. The duel scenes and death scenes reflect as well the modern dance idiom of Isadora Duncan and later Martha Graham. It is refreshing to see successful blends of these two streams-classical and modern -because each alone can become awfully static. It would seem obvious that the means and the result of dance should not be static.
The scenery is typical of Covent Garden: dull and on the shabby side, rather unimaginative, and occasionally trying quite hard to intrude on its betters, the per-, formers on stage. Actually, an empty stage would have looked much nicer.
At least a passing word of praise should be given to the corps de ballet whose exceptionally high quality stands in sharp contrast to such hideous ensembles as the Bolshoi. Their most recent presence here in the District was by film ( vulgar, trashy rendition of Tchaikovsky's overblown Sleeping Beauty); and, as with the Royal

The follo~ving article was written for The HOY A by Dr. George W. Carey, associate protrssor of government at Georgetown. Dr. Cayey is not only an incisive and popular teacher, but has also found time to co-edit an anthology, "Liberalism Versus Conservatism," and is the co-author (with Charles Hyneman) of the forthcoming "A Second Federalist: Congress Creates a Government."
Election post-mortems are an exercise in futility. True enough, after the November elections of this year, journalists throughout the country will try to "interpret" the results, usually with an eye to pointing out how the voters endorsed this or that program or ideology, accepted or rejected "extremism," expressed confidence or not in the administration, motherhood, the United Nations, etc. But anyone familiar with the voting patterns and behavior of the American people knows all too well that such postmortems are (a) usually based on false premises, the most fundamental of which assumes a modicum of knowledge and "rationality" on the part of the average American voter; and (b) highly partisan so that a
t. "Scotty" Reston along with a David Lawrence will have more than sufficient oppor
. tunity to interpret the results in a manner . . consistent with their respective political
philosophies. This much we can say even before election day.
Political analysts, given sufficient information, can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy who will win any given election. Here I will not venture to make any predictions. Consult your newspapers or CBS television for the best guesses. I do, however, want to stress two points with respect to elections in general and the November elections in particular.
(1) The American system is not and has never been a plebiscitary system wherein elections are the be-all and end-all of the political process. Precisely because the Framers did share a realistic view of the American voter-a view virtually unknown to
. most modern journalists and many of my academic friends-they did not, if we are to believe The Federalist, want the American voters to resolve issues through the electoral processes. And, indeed, this is pretty much how the American system has worked. Of course it does make a difference who is elected to office, for elected officials are entrusted with· the function of resolving public policy disputes. ·But this is a far cry from talking in terms of mandates on specific issues of public policy delivered at election time. An individual may vote for Governor X because he has supported higher education within the state but that individual may also feel that Governor X has been shortsighted with respect to highway and welfare programs.
Multiply the issues and the number of voters each with a different priority of values and we can easily see why elections cannot be viewed as mandates for specific policy positions.
(2) We must, if we are to make any sense out of the electoral process, look to political parties in each of the states and the posture of the candidates they have selected (via primaries or other processes) to be their standard-bear~rs. In a very important sense, parties and the nomination processes introduce an element of rationality into an otherwise irrational political process. At the very least we must acknowledge that the parties and their nomination processes, be they primaries or not, serve as "filtering" devices insuring the public of a choice between at least two presumably qualified candidates for office, thereby insuring the average American voter (who, we may point out, is little concerned with politics because he has more important concerns on his mind such as making a living and supporting a family) cannot make a really horrendous choice.
My intellectual friends: albeit only dimly aware of the critical importance of these processes, are deeply disturbed because they feel that in many states and localities political "extremists" (who also, so they tell me, are unqualified and unfamiliar with the problems of the 20th Century) have not only been nominated but stand a good chance of winning. This fact is of some interest for, as I have intimated, by looking at the nominees of the respective parties we can more readily discern trends in American politics. More: We have some basis for determining what the issues and problems are that trouble the American people.
So much for my two points that I believe every student of the American system ought constantly to bear in mind. Why do we find the so-called extremist candidates increasingly coming to the fore? A ready answer to the question is to question its very basis: The candidates labelled as extremists are really not such. Let us, only for the sake of argument, assume that my intellectual friends are right, that is, extremists are increasingly appearing on the ballots in many states and localities. The question then becomes, Why is this so? My answer, necessarily abbreviated, comes to this: The American liberal, convinced of his righteousness and in control of at least 'the Presidency and the Supreme Court, is indirectly but primarily responsible because he has been unwilling to make those compromises and adjustments so necessary to keep a diverse society such as ours functioning on an even keel. However, our system is constructed so that force will meet force, and after long periods of frustration revolving around such issues as how best to handle communism, how best to handle the racial problem, how far to extend social welfare benefits, how to curb our crime rates and cure the urban blight (questions to which the American liberal has patterned and trite answers) , many Americans are "fed up." Hence, if I were to make any observation about the elections of this November and subsequent elections as well, it would be the following: Those Americans who are fed up (minority though they may be particularly in our institutions of "higher" learning) are going to keep "assaulting" th'J fortresses of government in the only way they know, that is, through electoral processes (not, I might add, through "non-violent" demonstrations or well placed Molotov cocktails) until they either win or get a fair hearing from that dominant liberal coalition that presumes to know all the answers to our questions be they moral, religious, or political.
THEATER: Arena's Macbeth by Dr. Raymond H. Reno
Despite some production novelties, Macbeth at Arena Stage (Oct. 25-Nov. 27) is disappointing. The playing is not coordinated with the decor, which, had some thematic use been made of it, might have given the play an interesting sort of character. The set itself is striking and functional, two· ramps running down to a kind of miniature stonehenge, and the witch scenes are visually compelling. Smoke rolls about and even drifts up into the audience, where it proves distracting, and effective use is made of lighting. At one point the light drizzles down in a circle about the witch3s and encloses them in a strange atmosphere of evil. There is, though, too much of this, and the real evil they represent, which is to be found in what they have to say, is shrouded by the superfluity of stage effects. Another novelty lies in the ~reation of an inexplicable Japanese .coloring or cast. This derives from Charles Gross's music. the vaguely Samurai costumes and makeup, and the geometry of the set and props-the shape of some of the floorplates, the two royal chairs, and the pair of batwing screens suspended above the acting ar(!a. The end, I am told, is reminiscent of the Japanese film, The Throne of Blood, which is based on :Macbeth.
However, . these innovations fail to give life to the performance, and although the director, Edwin Shermin, rushes everybody through his scenes as rapidly as possible,
a triumph in departure· from the tradition: where the first half of the play is usually so intense in its portrait of Macbeth's struggle with his ambition that the second half is a let-down, here the opposite is achieved. The final half at least offers the prospect of seeing Macbeth killed and the whole thing over.
Nan Martin, who plays Lady Macbeth, is attractive and gives the impression of somehow being engaged with what she is saying. However, she has been woefully misdirected. When Lady Macbeth invokes murderous spirits to "unsex me here," she is not thinking of a hysterectomy. That Miss Martin should have been allowed to suggest this possibility indicates how little thought has gone into the whole production.

by Robert J. Dixon Father Royden B. Davis, S.J.,
Dean of the College, announced recently that Sister Mary Corita in conjunction with Mr. Lee Silverstein has donated one of her major works, Power Up, to the College. Father Davis stated that it wiII be displayed in the reception room of the Dean's Office.
Sister Mary Corita, who delivered the second Gaston Lecture of the 1965-1966 season, is an artist who has a poetic feeling for ordinary life. She creates in order to fashion the humble, the commonplace, and the ordinary into the joyous.
Sister Corita has taken the common poster and infused a new spirit into a previously neglected art form. She, along with Robert Rauschenberg, should be credited with advancing the silk screen process as a major art medium, and a responsible one at that.
Silk screened art has long been in existence, usually only in such unfortunate ways as the suburban haus!rau smearing her own Christmas cards and commercial sign making. It is to Sister Corita's
SISTER CORITA credit that she has not lost sight of these functions of the medium (she has designed some of the most intelligent Christmas cards now available) but has, like that modern genius, Ben Shahn, made the poster: into an art form which responds to the intelligence of her creative imagination. Thus as most recently evinced in an ad for the Westinghouse owned television stations, she imbues a vitality normally unknown into the front part of Time magazine.
Corita posters, or as she calls them serigraphs, encompass one's vision with a veritable flood of color through which floats a quotation about tenderness or sorrow, misery or hope. These combinations seem to find emotions within us-emotions that often were previously undiscovered.
Her inspiration comes from the commonplace. As she told the Gas-
ton audience: "I am a celebrator of the commonplace.;' Her colors are the colors of the marketplace and the color of life-giving food. A Madison A venue jingle used to promote a particular type of breakfast food becomes a paean of thanksgiving as "the best to you each morning," a prayer for everyday.
She stresses awareness of the commonplace-the commonplace as represented in traffic signs, the food market, and rock and roll. To her this awareness is necessary to relate the common to the inwardness of all. Corita in person is very soft spoken, but her serigraphs shout proudly her discovery of the Spirit loose in the world. Thus she demonstrates dramatically in a spatial concelebration of color and text what most of us, unfortunately, take for granted.
In her serigraph, "Enriched Bread," the form and content of the poster celebrate many things: the basic wonder of having breadespecially enriched bread of which Corita realizes we all know. An art lover who also happens to be interested in theology can relate immediately to the Eucharist. A closer look at the print will show that the nun-artist has placed quotations in the smaller circles. Quotes which show that there are many different appreciations of bread. As Gandhi said: "There are so many hungry people that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread." This is an excellent example of Sister Corita's ability to unite theme and form in the commonplace and raise it to a higher level by imbuing with a deeper meaning what we have taken all too casually.
A retrospective view of Sister Corita's work shows a continual development and a continuous desire to be contemporary. Her early works such as "Magpie in the Sky" were more expressionistic and had little need for words. Corita seems to have come into her own with the

recent blossoming of Pop art. Using the concepts of Pop and availing herself of Op-art colors she has found a most successful solution for conveying the common in an uncommon manner.
Her productivity is amazingespecially when it is remembered that she makes prints only during the month of August. During the rest of the year she is a respected member of the Faculty of Immaculate Heart Junior College in Los Angeles.
Undoubtedly it should be obvious to all that Corita's art is spiritually oriented. As a nun she professes a certain theological point of view and this view necessarily spills over into her art form. But her theology is not forced fOl' she envelops it in a rapturous embrace of contemporary semanticism which makes it relevant for all. She does not see the world as a vale of pain

and suffering--rather she her faith in humanity and points to the need for relationship between men. Her method and her message are necessarily didactic but she does not demand or even ask to be listened to by all. She creates on her own terms using the materials that are truly readily at hand. In the process of celebrating what we take for granted she establishes within us a relationship with the world which is at once ennobled and at the same time subtly more sensitive. Her juxtaposition of intelligent selective quotations and oppy colors coalesce into a new world where the verbal and the visual create a freshness of perspective. It is the perspective of the child seeing something for the first time.
THE KNACK AT WTC
Perhaps Sister Corita's friend, Sister M. William, has best expressed the attitude of Sister Corita, the pop-nun. "If we were only loud and bright perhaps we could hope only fOl' the indulgent smile of the mother of very small chil-
Do chairs look better on the wall than cluttering up the floor? What is the ugliest building in London? Does a kangaroo have only one teat? Are those white horses you see at the zoo really zebras lined up with the bars? How do you get to the YWCA? Is Nancy Jones really Welsh?
These are some of the questions raised in The Knack, the Ann Jellicoe comedy holding forth at the Washington Theatre Club until Nov. 6. The play is a wholly modern treatment of the age-old problem known to the guys on the corner as "gettin' womans," and Miss Jellicoe has succeeded in capturing the absurdity of modern attempts at communication with a flair that puts her dialogue in a rank just below Pinter and Albee; and she is only below these exceptional talents because she is too successful: she

dren. Our colors, however, are the colors of the marketplace, the colors of life-giving food, and our sounds are the sounds of the here and now, and they are meant to say: Mother, I am concerned for my brother who is your son. My brother starves, he weeps, he dies. He is myself. Today is a loud call to our mother asking her to teach us what she knows of filling the emptiness drying the tears and easing the death of our brother. We ask to be taken out of ourselves ... "
has captured the way people talk allatOl1ce on not always the same subject so that at times you find yourself back and almost giving up on ever finding out just what they all mean. No matter. Her fine sense of the comically absurd makes this play far more palatable than the ali3nation-oriented works of some of the perhaps more serious writers of the absurdist school, and look mom, it's got a happy ending that will satisfy all but the most moralistic.
IRISH CRITIC LECTURES ON YEATS On Monday afternoon, Mr. Grat
tan Freyer, Irish journalist and critic, addressed a small but appreciative audience in the SAR. His topic was "The Development of Willidm Butler Yeats." Currently on a lecture-tour of the United States, Mr. Freyer spoke at the personal invitation of Father Edward B. Dunn, a long-time friend.
Dignified and soft-spoken, Freyer traced the career of the great Irish poet through its most significant phases with an easy, knowledgeable manner and gentle wit. His countryman's on-and-off love affair with Ireland and his passionate longing for the beautiful Maud Gonne, Freyer sees as the fundamental influences on Yeat's work. The early fascination with the natural and mythic splendor of his land, the later reflections, both personal and political, and the final enchantment with mysticism-all parts of a poet and his verse, neither of which ever ceased to search and experiment.
Having already spoken in Boston and now on his way to Virginia in the course of ,his threeweek trip, Freyer himself has had an unconventional career. Educated
first at Cambridge University, where he took Honours in both Science and English, then at Dublin, where he took a Ph.D. in Italian Political Studies, he spent the next several years in adult education. At Cambridge he studied under the redoubtable F. R. Leavis and subsequently contributed to Scnttiny and to other pUblications. He is also the author of a number of monographs on such writers as Yeats, Machiavelli, Camus and Synge, and has written an occasional poem himself, as well as translations from the Italian. He now resides in the West of Ireland, where he combines life as a craftsman, farmer and horseman, with occasional lecturing and frequent articles in notable British and Irish newspapers.
Mr. Freyer's lecture calls to mind the up-coming series of speakers by The Literary Society. Among the Society's plans for the year are a number of special events, including, we understand, a Washington-wide symposium on J. R. R. Tolkien. The first speaker scheduled is Mrs. Mary Moreman, the famous Wordsworth biographer.
The play, however, has been reviewed before, so on to this production. Davey Marlin-J ones has staged it naturalistically in a thrust stage and with such skill that the director's hand is not apparent.
Among the performers, Sue Lawless must take first honors for her portrayal of Nancy, the provincial girl looking for the YWCA who stumbles into a bachelor apartment with, yes, three bachelors in it who proceed to attempt to make it with her. Miss Lawless is a completely ingratiating performer who seems so at home in the part that it is difficult to realize that it was not written for her.
Haig Chobanian likewise does a good job as Colin, the guy who doesn't have the knack and consequently doesn't have a girl. He comes across as one of nature's schlemiels, and shows a wonderful awareness of the comedy of man's relationships with inanimate objects that consistently get the better of him.
Bob Spencer does an agreeable, if occasionally overdone, job as Tom, who has the best line of the play when he is asked if he is a homosexual and replies, uNo, but thanks for asking." At times he is almost electrical, but when the evening was over I found myself asking just why I didn't like him better. Christopher Carrick is the wackiest of the cast as Tolen, which is the most obnoxious part in the play, but he does get better as the show progresses. This is not to imply that he is bad: the general level of acting is extremely high, and it almost seems like carping to point out the few weaknesses while ignoring the moments that made it a pleasure to be in the audience.
Those of you who are keeping score, chalk up a good review. Those of you that are decorating your apartments, try hanging chairs on the wall; they do look awfully good that way.

HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL VISITOR
Assistant Dean Woodford L. Flowers, Director of College Relations and a member of the Admissions Board of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, will visit Georgetown University on Friday, November 4, to talk to students interested in business as a career of excitement and creative opportunity.
Requirements for admission to the two-year course, leading to a degree of Master in Business Administration (MBA), include a college degree in any field of concentration, a standing in at least the top third of the class, and a record of progressive achievement in campus activities, business, the military, or elsewhere.
The MBA Program at the Harvard Business School is based on the experience-oriented case method, pioneered at the Harvard Business School to develop the practical, analytical, and decision-making capacities that are the key to managerial effectiveness.
For outstanding students in each first-year class (of roughly 690) there are 60 fellowships available. Approximately, 40 per cent of the Harvard Business School student body also makes use of the Deferred Payment or Loan Program which enables all students admitted to the Harvard MBA Program to attend even though their sources of funds are inadequate.
Seniors, or others, wishing to talk to Mr. Flowers may make an appointment through the office of Dean Frank Evans.

that it was a major factor in bringing the issue to Fr. Campbell's attention. At the same time the student council presidents emerged from Fr. Campbell's office proclaiming a victory for student government.
A joint student council meeting, Oct. 4, voted unanimously for the game with Catholic University. The minutes of the joint meeting were sent to Father Campbell· for his approval. Whether Fr. Campbell ever did actually see' these minutes or realize their importance is a matter of conjecture.
Fr. Campbell was out of town much of the time and therefore could not be contacted. It appeared to the members of the council that Fr. Campbell was trying to avoid the Student Council. On the other hand, the administration felt that

Fr. Campbell had never really been contacted.
On Tuesday evening the three councils met to decide on a plan of action. Dave Mulchinock, president of the College senior class, said, "the principle fight here was that the Administration should listen to student opinion." In order to impress this upon the Administration, a rally and a general boycott. of classes was scheduled for Friday.
Plans were then set up for a successful boycott. Corridor Meetings were planned on every floor for T h u r s day night. Arrangements were made to contact faculty members by letter Friday morning to explain that the boycott was not directed against them.
The council also prepared a letter for all Georgetown students

proclaiming, "The time to act is Now." The students would be asked to cut classes and go only to tests. Complete freedom of choice on the part of all students would be allowed. A 15 minute rally on Healy lawn was scheduled for 12:15 Friday afternoon.

The Activities Council consisting of the chairmen of the Council's major activities such as High School Recruiting, Focus, Contac, the Diplomats Ball, Hi-Jinx and the Walsh Area Women's Committee, is responsible for the management of the Council's activities. Each committee chairman has to submit a budget and schedule to this group for his project.
Last year over 800 students participated in Council projects and Contac alone spent $45,000, McKenna pointed out. "It has been necessary this year," he said, "to institute administrative changes to provide for a more efficient management of the Council's ever expanding range of activity."
McKenna said that the Council's large inherited debt of last year was due to mismanagement and the lack of adequate financial checks. To safeguard against a recurrence of that problem McKenna and Council treasurer, George Neumann, have instituted a new system of bookkeeping and the budget system. No money is spent unless it is part of a budget approved by the newly expanded budget committee. The budget committee consists of George Neumann, chairman; Donald BYrnes, Joseph McDonough and the class treasurers.
To economize on purchases and to provide adequate control of expenses John Dagnon has been appointed purchasing agent.
Under the direction of Susan Mooney, secretary of the Council, and Cathrine Gilligan, office manager, the Council offices have been reorganized to include a receptionist staff who are on duty each day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and a publicity staff under the direction of .John Lawler.

Some of the ideas expressed in this group were that students were not the most important part of the University. One speaker said that the students had a particular role to play, and that this role was not to be part of the Administration. Another participant stated that he thought students could get anything they wanted if they united for a common action.

After a lengthy discussion, Dr. Earle proposed a resolution that the Faculty Senate express its wish to go into TIAA, and the Faculty Affairs Committee begin a study of what portion of the pension the University should pay. A vote was called for, and the resolution was passed 27-3.
Chairman McTighe asked the Senate to accept for discussion and study the new questions of expansion of football, confidentiality, revision of the Georgetown Faculty Handbook in regard to textbook royalties, and the inclusion of the Student Personnel Director on the Faculty Senate as an appointed member.

Here are 7 knotty problems facing the Air Force:
can you help us solve one?
1. Repairs in space. If something goes wrong with a vehicle in orbit, how can it be fixed? Answers must be found, if large· scale space operations are to become a reality. For this and other ossignments Air Force scientists ond engineers will be called on to answer in the next few years, we need the best brains available.

3. Life-support biology. The filling of metabolic needs over very extended periods of time in space is one of the most
fascinating subjects that Air Force scientists are investigating. The results promise to have vital ramifications for our life on earth, as well as in outer space.
4. Space orientation. The orbital prob· lems of a spacecraft, including its ability to maneuver over selected points on the earth, are of vital importance to the military utilization of space. There are plenty of assignments for young Air Force physi· cists in this area.
5. Synergetic plane changing. The abil· ity of a spacecraft to change altitude can olso be crUCial to space operations. Where but in the Air Force could $c.B:s get the chance to work on such faSCinating proj· ects right at the start of their careers?
6. Space propulsion. As our space flights cover greater and greater distances, pro· it
pulsion-more than anything else-will become the limiting factor. New fuels • and new propulsion tech· niques must be found, if we are to keep on exploring the mysterif!< of sroc:e. And it may well be on Air Force scientist on his first assignment who makes the big breakthrough!
7. Pilot performance. Important tests must still be made to determine how the pilots of manned aeraspacecraft will react to lang periods away from the earth. Of course not every new Air Force officer be- t:....'-'-:,;:.;..O-:.'-'--'e-.;..-...;.~ comes involved in research and development light away. But where the most ex·
citing advances are taking place, young Air Force SCientists,
administrators, pilots, and engineers
are on the scene.
A good way to start is through Air Force ROTC. Superior students may qualify for Air Force scholarships. Many colleges and universities also have a special 2·year Air Force ROTC program. For de· toils, contact your nearest Air Force rep· resentative, or mail the coupon today.

Mrs. Henry P. Kalmus is chapter scholarships chairman.
The National Society of Arts and Letters is an organization of American men and women who are engaged professionally in one of the 'creative arts or who are actively sponsoring the work of young artists. The organization is dedicated to encouraging and assisting promising students of the creative arts by giving scholarships in art, dance, drama, literature and music.
The National Society of Arts and Letters was founded in 1944 by Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson of Chevy Chase, Md., and Mrs. A. E. Nielsen of Chicago. The Washington chapter was the first chapter, tloe Chicago chapter second of 25.
The National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council has been called upon again to advise the National Science Foundation in the selection of candidates for the Foundation's program of graduate and regular post-doctoral fellowships. Panels of outstanding
scientists appointed by the Academy-Research Council will evaluate applications of all candidates. Final selection will be made by the Foundation, with awards to be announced Mar. 15, 1967.
Fellowships will be awarded for study in the mathematical, physical, biological and engineering sciences; also in anthropology, economics (excluding business administration), geography, the history and philosophy of science, linguistics, political science, psychology (excluding clinical psychology), and sociology (not including social work). Application may be made by college seniors, graduate students working toward a degree, post-doctoral students, and others with equivalent training and experience. All applicants must be citizens of the United States and will be judged solely on the basis of ability.
Applicants for the graduate awards will be required to take the Graduate Record Examinations designed to test scientific aptitude and achievement. The examinations, administered by the Educational Testing Service, will

Father McSorley thinks the University looks upon the average G.U. student as less mature than he really is. "The student can be trusted to make a good choice," he stated. "Pope John trusted in the goodness of man. The least people can do is to imitate him."
Father also refuses to believe that religion is on a decline at Georgetown. He puts the poor attendance at the Mass of the Holy Spirit to the fact that it was at a very bad time. He points to the good attendance at daily and Sunday mass as proof that the Hoyas are still interested in religion.
Letters (Continued from Page 7)
The reason that our S.LD. is set up in this way is because the Athletic Department is forced to, in Mr. O'Brien's own words, "run a big time operation on a small time budget." This has been the make-up of the Sports Information Department for several years.
Since I am also the head manager of two varsity sports, I know that the S.LD. cannot possibly have the time to cover all sports events and that it is necessary that the manager, coach, or captain of the team cooperate by picking up a telephone and calling either the S.I.D. or his assistant, or by calling the papers directly. As a manager, I understand this to be an integral part of my, or any other manager's job. In the case of the soccer match, I know for a fact that the S.I.D. had advised the soccer team manager to call him after the match and report the score and the action. I also know that when the S.LD. did not hear from him, he tried several times to get in touch with him, but was unsuccessful. Surely the blame cannot be laid upon the Sports Information Department.
These are all facts which Mr. Halabi either should have already known or which would have been made known to him had he just taken the trouble to inquire before writing his letter.
At this point, I feel it necessary to inform The HOY A readers about Mr. Halabi in order that they may better understand some of his past attacks and possibly some of his future ones. Mr. Halabi was one of two freshman basketball managers during the 1963-64 season. He began the '64-65 season as one of the varsity managers. About the same time he became Sports Editor of The HOYA and several times led the attack against the coach or some of the players. As Sports Editor of The HOYA, he had every right to write in his column whatever he wanted. However, because he was also a manager of the team, he actually forfeited the right to attack the team or the coach while he remained a manager. This was not all. It seems· as though Wade Halabi's time was too taken up by his editorial duties, for his attendance at basketball practice sessions was almost nil. It finally got so bad that he was considered removed from the staff of basketball managers. Mr. Halabi has done little to aid sports at Georgetown. All he has done is criticize. To paraphrase an idea recently expressed by President Johnson when speaking of his Republican foes, it is easy for any donkey to knock a barn down; it is not so easy to build it up. I hope that in the future, Mr. Halabi will finally begin to start building up instead of kicking down.
I would like to make one final point. In the same issue of The HOYA his letter appeared, Mr. Halabi wrote an article on the trouncing of Penn State. If Mr. Halabi was at the meet and was reporting it for The HOY A, and if he really had the interests of G.V. sports at heart, he could have easily called the newspapers or either one of the members of the

INCOMMUNICADO love to go out with the right girl
To the Editor: Is there a need for a free speech
movement on the Georgetown campus? No, there is not such a need and if one resulted, its effects on the liberal attitude shared by the faculty could be disastrous. An air of free expression exists at Georgetown that is unlike that of most long established Eastern universities. Then why is there such a lack of inter-student communication on the University level and the whole of collegiate Washington?
An example of this lack of communication was revealed in a re-
from St. Mary's. The basic problem appears to be one of communication. There is truly little chance of meeting the nurses during the academic day. The nurses have no classes which coincide with men's courses and many of their courses are held over at St. Mary's itself. I personally can remark on the unlikelihood of even seeing that certain girl while going about one's class routine. During orientation week I met a nurse and we began seeing each other daily. The acquaintance was short lived because after the final Sunday of orientation I didn't see her again for
three weeks. Did I avoid her, or she avoid me? The former is false; I was looking for her constantly. The latter, as I found when seeing her again, was also false, for she said that she had been looking for me also. Since then we have managed to maintain contact through the mediums of note passing and telephones.
Obviously something must be done to improve inter-campus relations. In an attempt to think of places and means by which the girls can meet the boys, I've come up with the following. The girls could begin having lunch at New South cafeteria, or use the Copley lounge or recreation hall for reading or passage of spare time. Another possibility is that the girls could use the library reading room in Healy for their night stUdy. So far, I've directed my suggestions to the girls, now for the boys. Many of the girls study in the science library and medical library at night. If you enjoy academic da tes and discussions, I think this offers an excellent opportunity. The other possibility would be walk-

ing over to Darnall Hall for a little ping pong or pool. I enjoy it very much for several reasons: I like both games, there's no charge as in Copley, female opponents are much more appealing, one can feel at ease there, and you just might win a game. My final sugge'stion would be to start using the New South snack bar (adjoining the cafeteria), as a place for both girls and guys to go when they're hungry or simply want to have a bull session.
Mental attitudes also affect this lack of communication. It is true that girls should not appear "pushy" but many of the girls on campus are reserved almost to the point of discourtesy. A friendly "Hi!" gets little more than a cold stare or an even colder shoulder. I am not trying to support a "MAKE A FRIEND DAY" campaign, but a conscious effort and a friendly hello could do much to improve "the morale at St. Mary's on a par with the cockroaches who stalk the floors."

students an opportunity to familiarize themselves with courtroom aspects of legal procedure, as well as to provide valuable experience for those who intend to practice law. Although sponsored by the Philodemic Society, it is open to non-members, who are also eligible for awards. Bob Mannix, the Society's president, said that if there was sufficient interest in the program, he intended to award trophies for outstanding performances in the competition. Charlie Boggs, Moot Court Chairman added that he would investigate the possibility of having professors from the Law School judge the final rounds of the tournament. Normally, law students serve as judges.
Psychology (Continued from Page 3)
The main portion of his time this year, naturally, is being directed toward building workable plans for psychology in the '67-'68 school year. Already, he has come up with a proposed curriculum which "answers the question that worries students most." What will be the requirements for psychology majors?
To obtain a degree in psychology, according to Dr. O'Hare's tentative curriculum, a student would have to satisfy the following minimum requirements: 28 credit hours in psychology courses, 15 of them in required courses and 13 more in electives. Besides this core, it would be recommended (and perhaps required) that the psychology major take four semesters of math, two of biology, and two of physics.
The course load, admittedly challenging (although less than University of Detroit's 30 required credit hours), is designed primarily for the student who will go on to grad school. Both Fr. Fitzgerald and Dr. O'Hare feel
THE HOYA
that a demanding course proper emphasis on science math is desirable.
with with that of other schools, and and programs will have to be planned
taking into account the constantly changing requirements of graduate schools.
The O'Hare plan calls for six new one-semester courses, two required and four electives, to be added to the present curriculum of nine courses, and for the introductory courses, general psychology to be extended to two semesters. Two new teachers, Dr. O'Hare feels, would suffice to carry the additional load. These teachers have not yet been recruited.
As to the equipping of a psychology laboratory, Dr. O'Hare expects few problems. Several national institutions, notably the National Science Foundation and the Undergraduate Sci e n t i f i c Equipment Program, are willing (indeed happy) to assist universities in financing laboratory equipment. A proposal to the N.S.F. may be submitted on .Tan. 15, 1967 and a grant awarded in .Tune. On the basis on his inquiries, Dr. O'Hare sees the chances of a fully equipped psychology lab by the fall of '67 as "very favorable."
Another addition which Dr. O'Hare considers valuable to the course is senior seminars. "Psychology is a field you can't do anything worthwhile in without a Ph.D., and for a Ph.D. research is of primary importance." Hence, the seminars will consist of students doing minor research under guidance of the staff, and share in the staff's own research.
Dr. O'Hare's problems, to date, have revolved around the difficulties in devising a program which all four members of the staff will agree is ideal, scheduling the program according to semesters, and deciding who will teach what. Over 300 students, he pointed out, are now taking Father Cortes' popular introductory course. With such a manifest student interest in psychology, it will be necessary to predict how many will take each course and to perhaps limit attendance in certain courses.
Georgetown's psychology curriculum will also have to be compared
The rough estimate of Dr. O'Hare and Father Cortes is that, of those presently in the general psychology course, not more than 10 percent (between 30 and 40) will major in the subject. Those in the class of '68, who have taken general psychology, will have to qualify for a major with free electives. The fact that the Department is new and the work load difficult is apt to keep the number of psychology majors down, at least for a few years.
However, as Dr. O'Hare and Father Fitzgerald both note, the experience of other universities is that psychology is a popular major and becoming more popular. Father Cortes, who has taught at Harvard, published a number of psychology books, and whose class is evidence of the potential interest in psychology at Georgetown, firmly believes that the subject has great value in a number of professional fields. As more people come to share his view, the popularity of the course could continue to accelerate rapidly. "The size of the psychology program at Georgetown," says Dr. O'Hare "depends on the number of students interested in the subject." The department will grow as student interest grows. Dr. O'Hare and Father Fitzgerald would both at this time prefer the Department to be small. "But," says Dr. O'Hare, "if students were pounding on the door, or if the rest of the faculty disagreed, plans would have to be modified."
Also, to insure that the number of psychology majors does not become too small, Dr. O'Hare gave the assurance that the enrollment would be watched; and if the stringent requirements proved too restrictive, "we'll ease up a bit."
Eventually, Dr. O'Hare feels, the Georgetown psychology staff, "if they behave like everyone else,"
will want a graduate department. The temptation for a graduate school and a move into clinical psychology is amply present at Georgetown, as the campus contains a psychological services bureau, a Department of Psychiatry in the Medical Schoolgood for clinical psychiatry and research-and a computation center -also good for research.
IRC (Continued from Page 5)
The second factor is the "social reality," which derives from the fact that the peasants, who comprise 90 percent of the population, are totally excluded from the benefits of Islamic Civilization. This means that Arab Socialism is far more radical than any other form, because it involves including the peasants in Muslim Society, thus destroying entirely the existing social structure.
The third reality is ideological. The idea of a national state has been alien to Muslims, who have always striven for a reunion of Islam on the basis of common religion, no matter what their nationality is. However, the combination of a desire for this "PanIslam" unity, along with a growing sense of nationalism, "join old tradition with national vision, and these factors reinforce each other," accounting for some of the fervor of the Pan-Arab movement.
These major "cultural realities in Middle Eastern Politics," Dr. Ruedy pointed out, must be understood if the United States is to form a coherent policy towards the Arab world.

their 25 pints, the Ranger's will be awarded a banner for their guidon.
Fred Gretsch discussed the benefits that each GU donor would receive: "In addition to the donor's self-satisfaction, he and his immediate family will be provided with free blood by the Red Cross in case of emergency for a period
Page Seventeen
of one year." He further pointed that "this is an excellent benefit, for blood charges can run as high as $60 to $70 a pint, depending on the type."
Gretsch said there were 70 firsttime donors this year; he hopes the trend will continue in the event of another drive in the spring.
Concert (Continued from Page 5)
F. Mertes of Chicago, Il1., in memory of their son "Bud" Mertes who, during his freshman year at Georgetown in 1951, was killed in a plane crash returning home for the Easter holidays.
In accordance with the Mertes' wishes, the money is to be used as a revolving fund for deserving young men who lack sufficient funds for a college education.
The objective of the Mertes family in setting up the Fund as a loan rather than an outright grant is twofold. The loan when repaid will revert to the principal and thus enable a large number of students to benefit, and the Fund is intended as an opportunity and not a subsidy in keeping with "the best American tradition."
Ballet (Continued from Page 10)
Ballet, the photographers did their occasional worst to distort the effect of leaps and to heighten the sometimes absent facial drama.
Flaws notwithstanding, this is a film to see-especially for those who have never seen Fonteyn and Nureyev in person. Some of the electricity of live performance is, obviously, lost; but it would be hard to expect more from a film. The production of a ballet film is an especially great challenge. If the moderately high success of this venture leaves one only half satisfied, it must be because Fonteyn and Nureyev show that even quality and especially effort can not be a substitute for genius.

Dawson Speer played number two position for Harvard and provided much of the support for Pepe's playing. Eduardo Lopez played number one and stayed in for the whole game.
Bob Reilly and Fernado Suarez showed where the Georgetown power was and will be. Reilly was all over the field, hooking Harvard's mallets as they attempted shots, galloping right up to the goal fun speed, making sure his shots counted. Reilly scored three of the goals that Georgetown made. Suarez came into his own this weekend and also scored three goals. Previously he had provided support but had never really attained the fine edge that makes a good player. This week, he fought hard and rode extremely well and took the pressure off Reilly.
Frank Elsworth carne into replace Reni Garces during the fourth chukkar in order to gain a little more game time experience. He played well and scored a goal. Reni played his usual steady game, providing the necessary support to Suarez and Reilly and in the process also scored a goal.
Most of the scoring action took place during the first chukkar with Georgetown scoring five in the first few minutes of the chukkar. After that, Rodriguez held Georgetown down but never was able to accomplish any scoring for Harvard.
Due to the football game with Catholic University this Saturday the Georgetown game against Cornell has been cancelled and th3 team will play Sunday against the Potomac Club. This will provide a cl.ance for everyone to see the football game and the polo match on one weekend.

Sports do not need politics. This is an understatementespecially at Georgetown. In the past the constant squabbling and practice of political one upmanship among Georgetown's "Student Leaders" has often had a damaging effect on Georgetown's sports progress.
THE HO·YA
This year has been different. During the past week, Mike Brennan, president of the Yard, and Keven McKenna, president of the East Campus Student Council threatened a boycott in answer to the University's refusal to act on their request for a football game with Catholic University. A rally on Healy steps was also planned to explain the situation to the students and the press.
Sailing team's fleet beached for rest.
Friday was to be D-Day. But late Thursday afternoon, Father Gerard J. Campbell, S.J., agreed to schedule a formal scrimmage and call a meeting of the Board of Directors to determine whether this scrimmage could be qualified as a regular game. Saturday, the Board of Directors voted that the scrimmage could be scheduled as a regular game.
Sailors Take 4th at Navy; Years' Biggest Race Meet
Brennan, McKenna, and the other students who helped make this protest a success, should be commended for their efforts.
But in the enthusiasm and backslapping that so naturally ensued, many forgot the work of the Athletic Department. Throughout the entire squabble, communications with Catholic University was maintained, thus enabling the scheduling of the game at the last possible minute. Mr. Hagerty and his staff also deserve a word of thanks.
The absence of political jockeying made last week the success that it was. Sportsweek is scheduled to begin soon. Last year it was destroyed by inter-campus warfare. Joint student action was non-existent. If the current trend continues, and Georgetown's student leaders continue to put aside their own prejudices, and work for a successful Sports Week, Georgetown athletic fortunes should soon be on the rise.
* * * The first round of the Quadrangle Tennis Tournament was
played last week on the courts adjacent to the Gym under the direction of Russ Tontz (Dent. '69). The finals will be played next Sunday at two o'clock.
The champion and the runner-up will be presented with engraved pewter mugs at a dinner in their honor given by the Quadrangle housemaster.
The Varsity Sailing Team earned an impressive fourth place last weekend in the 37th McMillan Cup held on Chesapeake Bay. The U.S. Naval Academy played host to nine of the East Coast's finest sailing teams and provided the forty-four foot Luders yawls for the regatta. Georgetown sent eight of her sailing team members to bring home the most hallowed trophy in intercollegiate yacht racing.
Skippering for the Hoyas was Junior Tom Curtis, one of the best sailors ever to attend Georgetown. He gained his big boat experience last summer sailing in British waters off the Isle of Wight. His crew was selected on the ocean racing ability of each. Dick Jensen, Commodore of the Sailing Association, served as navigator for the series. On the foredeck were Paul McLoughlin, Peter Kelly and Tom Fisher whose spinnaker work was probably the greatest asset to the team effort. In the cockpit were Tom Stehling, Tom "Command" Shumaker, and Dave Power on the winches. Curtis was pleased with the spirit and enthusiasm shown by his crew throughout the series.
The races were run on Saturday and Sunday, with Friday serving as a practice day. At 6:00 A.M. Friday, the Hoya sailors were sparked by five well-wishers who presented Skipper Curtis with a burgee bear-

ing the Georgetown "G." The boys were assigned their first boat that morning and sailed the Bay trying to mechanize their tactics. Kelly and Stehling were particularly helpful with their suggestions. After eight hours on the water, the sailors were given a dinner at the Academy. Here, the special instructions were given by the Race Committee.
Saturday morning dawned with steady winds of 15 to 20 m.p.h.; a perfect day for sailing. However, the Hoyas found themselves at a decided disadvantage when they drew one of the older yaw.ls in the initial race and placed sixth. The second race was certainly more indicative of the Georgetown team's ability. Having started second, skipper Tom Curtis took advantage of ev.)ry wind shift and led the fleet to th:! first mark. A strong current at the last mark forced the team to make an unnecessary tack and they dropped to third place. They were unable to pick up on Harvard and Tufts during the short windward leg to the finish. In the third the Hoyas were determined to outsail the stiff competition and, led by McLoughlin'S display of spirit, took a very close second place to the Middies of Annapolis.
On Sunday, Georgetown drew a fiberglass yawl and were prepared to bring home the silver but the wind was not favorable for the Hoyas or for anyone. The breeze was so light that the first race had to be cancelled after the whole fleet drifted for 2:Jh hours, the time limit. Another race was started as soon as a little wind came up, but it was so fiukey that Georgetown could only float across the finish line in fourth place. Curtis and crew then complimented the rugged sailors of Tufts for their victory.
The Women's team, however, arose victorious at a pentagonal meet in Princeton. Ann Markusen and Madeline Davenport skippered their Tech Dinghies to pay dirt as crews Debbie Walther, Cami Nilles, Nancy Young, and Ellen McPeake held the boats steady.

The year 1958 was a good one for Georgetown Chess. The Southern Intercollegiate Chess Tournament was held on campus, and, like most important tournaments, it produced its share of interesting games. The prize for the "most spectacular game" went to Myron Hill, who was then one of Georgetown's strongest players. The game follows:
FOUR KNIGHTS GAME White

Taking the bishop right away is too risky. For example 8 P x B, P x P, 9 N-K1, N x P; 10 N x N, Q-R5 and mate cannot be avoided. In this line, if 10 Q x P then 10 ... B x P ch; 11 R x B, R-R8 ch; 12 K x R, N x R ch; and Black wins the White queen. However, 9 N-N5 might hold everything.

Excellent move. White is at a loss for a good reply. If 13 P x N then ... B x Band . . . Q x N recover the piece with a winning game. 13 N x N leads to . . . Q-R5 and eventual mate.

If White takes the queen he is doomed to an eventual loss. Thus 14 B x Q, P x P ch; 15 R x P, B x R ch; 16 Q x B (if 16 K-B1 then 16 ... R-R8 ch; 17 K-K2, N-Q5 mate) ...

St. Peter's Stuns CU NYU Stops FordholTl
by Gene Payne Catholic University lost its first
club football game of the 1966 season to the Peacocks of St. Peter's by a 22-6 score. A third quarter 24-yard touchdown pass from tailback Scott Amey to end Mike Stefanic gave the Cardinals their only score. (Stats, p. 18)
For the Peacocks it was their first victory of the season after three consecutive losses. St. Peter's scored first in the opening quarter on an 18-yard run by Tom McDonald. In the second quarter Phil Dunphy scored from eight yards and Frank Carpenter kicked the extra point. Peacock defensive back Mario Picinnich tackled Cardinal punter Vic Recla for a safety to put the halftime score at 15-0.
Catholic rallied for their third period score before St. Peter's scored again in the final quarter. A 21-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Norman Fashek to Peacock end Duncan Gray and the conversion by Carpenter set the score at 22-6 where it remained.
Catholic University gained only 80 yards rushing and 87 yards passing compared to St. Peter's 222 yards rushing and 118 yards passing. The result was only seven Cardinal first downs compared to 14 for the Peacocks.
A crowd of 1687 watched the game at Brookland Stadium, the site of next week's game between Georgetown and Catholic. Last November Georgetown and Catholic scrimmaged and the Hoyas scored four touchdowns while holding the Cardinals scoreless.
Next Saturday the encounter between the Hoyas of Georgetown and the Cardinals of CU with its new "game status" promises to accentuate the cross-town rivalry between the two schools.
GU Goes Big Time Crew Will Row Navy On Severn
by Bob Spangenberg A milestone of sorts has been
reached in the history of Georgetown rowing. For the first time since its beginning back in 1957, the GU heavyweight varsity will compete against a big time college crew. Two boats will row against Navy in combined workout on the Severn this Friday.
Under their new head coach Tony Johnson-to whom the credit for having arranged the Navy workout belongs-tr.e heavies have been working out under a new system which calls for long three or four mile rows at the relatively low stroke of 24. This gives the oarsmen a chance to perfect the timing, form, and all around finesse necessary when they begin rowing at a higher stroke. The lower stroking also puts greater emphasis on all-important brute s t r eng t hsomething which tends to become lost in the shuffle at a 37.
Coach Johnson has also inaugurated a training program similar to that used by the world famous Vesper Boat ClUb. This consists of post-practice squat jumps and Saturday morning wind sprints on the upper field. Asked about the new system, Tony Johnson replied, "Rowing consists of three things: con d i t ion i n g, technique, and strength. What we're trying to do now is build up each of these separately and then coordinate them
New York University defeated Fordham 7-0 Saturday in their club football game. It was NYU's first victory in its three years as a club football team.
The only score came early in the third quarter after a 57-yard scoring drive. Sophomore quarterback Jim Cardasis scored from four yards out and Joe Conant converted.
The Violets gained 186 yards on the ground and 42 yards in the air and obtained 13 first downs. The Rams gained 168 yards rushing and only 16 yards passing for seven first downs.
Key interceptions by the Violet defense were instrumental in the victory. An interception by Artie Hurak which he ran back forty yards started the scoring drive. A late scoring threat by the Rams was halted by an interception by Violet Ray Ippolito.
Quarterback Cardasis gained 94 yards rushing and was voted the game's best player. The Violets were bothered by slippery fingers contributing to the low passing yardage as well as the six fumbles the Violets lost.
This was the first victory of NYU over Fordham in football since 1946 when the Violets beat the Rams 33-28. The V i ole t s dropped varsity football in 1952, the year they lost to Fordham by 45-0. Varsity football was dropped by the Rams two years later. Both schools returned to club football in 1964.
Saturday's victory marked only the seventh time since 1889 that NYU had beaten Fordham in football. The series now stands at 25 victories for Fordham, seven for NYU and four tries. (Stats, p. 18)
FALL WORKOUT
in such a way as to produce the smooth, well-oiled machine that a winning crew has to be."
Fall rowing for both the varsity and the freshmen will terminate in a regatta on Nov. 5 at the Thompson Boat Center. The newly formed freshman boats will row against each other, and the varsity will race in the eights, the fours, and also the pairs. That night the crew will throw a party at the Potomac Boat Club to celebrate the termination of fall rowing. Plans for the interval between then and Christmas vacation call for a program of weight lifting and running.
The reason why the crew is ending its fall rowing on Nov. 5, ra ther than the customary one or two weeks later, is to allow the oarsmen enough time to give an all out effort to promoting Sports Week and its projects.

Action at N.Y.U.-Fordam game last Saturday
Magee Emphasizes Innovations; Calls Orga.nization Key Factor
Organization is the key factor as this year's Hoya basketball team rounds into shape. The progress report after the first full week indicates that Coach Jack Magee intends to run a tight ship during the pre-season practices.
Magee uses a stop watch to assure that quitting time will come precisely after an hour and fortyfive minutes. This means that there will be no time wasted between drills so that everything fits into the schedule. These new innovations seem to have impressed the Hoyas who are reported to be in good spirits, even after a crash conditioning program including distance running and wind sprints.
There has also been a new set of rules introduced, designed to keep any wandering minds on basketball. This includes no laughing or smiling without good reason, no drinks of water during practice and no leaving the gym except for injuries.

The work-outs are not tests of endurance but do require the ball players to hustle in their execution of these fundamentals. Many players come twenty minutes early to practice their specific shots while Coach Magee can be
seen helping individuals on certain techniques. These include the freshman scholarship players who are working out with the varsity until the regular freshman practice begins.
It has only taken a week, but the Hoyas realize that Coach Magee has only one objective in mind -to produce a team with the ability to improve on last year's 16-8 season. He is starting at the beginning by employing basic basketball in his teaching methods. This indicates a desire for perfection that breeds successful teams.

Soccer Men Defeat AU; Bow To C.U. Team 5-2
On a cold and rainy Wednesday afternoon the Georgetown soccer team travelled to American University to battle the Eagles. The first half saw the Hoyas controlling offensive play but unable to score as the wet field rendered their short passing game ineffective. The Eagles relying on long kicks and dribbling had more success. Their right wing took a long pass from midfield and scored from his outside position to put AU ahead at the half 1-0.
In the second half the Hoyas followed the instructions of Coach Mendoza and reverted to the long kick. Throughout the third quarter the AU defense managed to block up the center of the field despite many fine attempts by Alfredo Montero and Emilio Sicre. Finally, in the fourth quarter the Hoyas, still trailing 1-0, managed to tie things up on a tally by Sicre on an assist by Montero. With less than two minutes left on the clock, Paul
Kennedy lofted the ball over the heads of the AU defenders and Sicre drove in the winning goal.
The Hoyas were off to a fast start against Catholic University Saturday, Oct. 22, scoring twice in the first period. The first score came when a CU defender got the whistle for a foul in the penalty area. Dick Callahan successfully executed his free kick. It was his third penalty goal in as many attempts. Late in the period Montero managed to outmaneuver AllAmerican half-back Steve Varsa and 'scored. However, CU came back with two fast scores to tie the game up at half-time at 2-2.
In the second half CU capitalized on the Hoyas defensive errors and drilled in three goalsone on a penalty kick. The Hoya offensive line, although putting the CU goalie under constant pressure, was unable to register another score and went down to defeat 5-2.
