Basketballers Impress NYU; Beat SCSC 87-71 By J O S E P H LOWY

The College's basketball team again entered the win column Monday with a 87-71 vic­tory over Southern Connecticut State College at Wingate gym.

The first half of the game was played sloppily by both sides. The first basket wasn't scored until one minute and .. . , . . ., , .

apparently jus t cleanly blocked 20 seconds had gone by. Nu­merous turnovers by both teams marred the half. The Beavers led by only three at the half, by a score of 38-35. They were hurt by the amount of-fouls'they gave away to the Owls.

a shot by Jim Gleason. Gleason sank the first free throw, and then the referee blew his wistle and pointed at Polansky, great­ly suprising the rest of Wingate.

Three minutes into the second half, the Beavers hit a cold streak and the Owls were able to tie the tfame at 47-47. Frum then on

Jeff Keizer goes over Je r ry Armfield (54) to score two of his 20 points. Keizer really exploded on Monday night for 30 points.

In the first half, coach Dave Polansky drew the first technical foul of his coaching career. It came after the referee called a foul on Tom Richardson who had

the score fluctuated, with both teams exchanging baskets a t a fast pace.

Six minutes from the end of the game, with the Beavers trai l-

Runners Take Third in CTC's;

Birns Breaks School Record Ry JOHN L. FICK i

On Friday, the College's track team competed in the old Madison Square Garden for the last time in the United States Track and Field Federation meet.

Karl Birns competing in the 35 pound weight throw set a new College record in the event while finishing fifth in the meet. Birns tossed the weight 47 feet nine inches, breaking his own record by 14 inches.

Robert "Skip" Johnson ran the 60 yards in 6.6 seconds, one-tenth of a second off the Col­lege record. Artie Dickinson was injured in the 60 yard high hurdl­es and was not able to compete in the Collegiate Track Confer­ence (CTC) Indoor Relay Car­nival the next day.

The track team finished third in the CTC Relays which were held a t Queens College. The day turned out to be a bright one for the team as they finished behind

the powerful Fairleigh Dickin­son squad and St. Peters who were tied for first .

The standouts in the meet for the Beavers were Ivan Black, Don Davis, Skip Johnson, and Gary Ramer, the members of the sprint relay team. They came in first in this event, setting a new school record of one minute and 15.5 seconds in the process. The team combined again to finish third in the mile relay.

On Saturday, February 3, the mile relay team won silver me­dals in the Philadelphia Track Classic a t Convention Hall. The team of Black, Johnson, Dickin­son, and Davis ran the distance in 3 minutes and 37.2 seconds on the slow track.

Nimrods Vanquished Competing against some of the best rifle teams in the east, the

College's Nimrods placed ninth in the 28 team United States Coast Guard Academy Invitational, held Saturday in New London.

Shooting well below their average of 1086 the nimrods could hit only 1958 points.

Paul Kancurik shot 276, and Frank Yonas 271, which are respec­table scores; but F rank Prog! had a b*d day and scored only 256, while Alan Feit also scored only 255.

The most embarrassing part of the meet was fifth place Army's revenge on the Beavers for a victory in a dual meet.

Big men in the rally were Jeff Keizer, who scored 18 of his 30 points in the second period, and Richie Knel who scored 14 of his 21 points in the second half, in­cluding a long 30 foot jumper a t

the buzzer t ha t brought the house down. Bar ry Gelber hit six out of the seven field goals he a t tempt­ed, and provided some fancy ball handling, in one of his best ap­pearances this season.

The Beavers ' record is now 2 wins and 11 losses. They have looked good in their last two out­ings, and seem destined for bet­te r things than they have done previously this season.

Most people came to NYU ex­pecting to see the Beavers get buried, but this just did not hap­pen. Rebounding from some cold shooting in the opening minutes

of the game the Beavers stayed with the Violets. Using a slow and deliberate offense, the hoop-sters were able to plan their shots.

The mark of a 1-10 ballclub was not there as the Beavers hustled in the first th i r ty minutes, Joe Mulvey dove for a lose ball, Tom Richardson kept dropping off his own man to double cover the ball and then hustled back. Keizer and Knell played aggres­sively under the backboards. The score remained close a t half-time as the La-vender trailed by only 10 points.

Twenty-five spectators were on hand to watch the first home gymnastics meet of the season. They were rewarded with an in­terest ing close up view of a new and probably unfamiliar sport. They were also treated to a hear t thumping come from behind vic­tory.

After the first five events, of free exercise, side horse, still r ings, trampoline, and long horse, the Beavers were down by 7.80 points, a considerable margin, with only the parallel bars and high bar events remaining. The gymnasts then went on to sweep these events by 9.50 points with the pressure of *iRust' perform­ances on them.

A pressure performance in gymnastics is unlike any other moment in the College's spor ts repertoire other than diving. Stan Moy goes up to the parallel bars and stands there . The entire gym is silent. All eyes are riveted on him alone. There is no one else to compete against except him­self. There is no one else to dis­tract at tention. He stands there preparing himself for the phys­ical s t rain t h a t will 1>e required shortly. F i r s t he must get his mind ready for the mental strain. Then he slowly grips the bars and with a s t ra ining of muscles pulls himself up. His face turns red, and his breathing becomes a con­trolled heaviness as he goes

•through his s tunts . Then he jumps over the bar and comes to a standing halt before the judges. The audience s tar ts breathing again. He receives 4.50 points out of a possible 10, and takes first place- :r. the event to help bring about a i-K-ave;- --[any.

Peter Kokajew took first place for the Lavender in the side-horse, providing the first win­ning Beaver performance of .the afternoon. This broke the ice as Mike Fishman took first in the still r ings, the next event, while Kokajew took a second place.

In the trampoline, an event at which the College is still vt weak, Al Jung led the Beavers bj taking third place. Vinny Russc took second in the long horse tc keep, the Lavender in the meet and provide the set t ing for the final two events.

The gymnasts then kept theii hopes alive by tak ing the first,) second, and third positions in the parallel bars wi th Moy, Hai Tom, and Kokajew finishing ii tha t order.

Then in the high ba r Joe Giou finished first and Na t Silber sec­ond to win the meet.

The executives reportedly then relented, compromising with Tropp on the formula. "I'm grate­ful that we could settle the dis­pute in a rational manner," he said. He praised Miss Gade and Korn for their "flexibility" and for avoiding useless political in­fighting."

Suspended Students' Injunction Postponed;

Challenge to Discipline Procedures Continues By HOWARD REIS

The attempt by the 46 suspended students to procure a preliminary injunction halting their suspension has been postponed for at least one week.

After an unsuccessful attempt to gain temporary restraing orders, the students' lawyers, Eric Schmidt and Sanford Kate, attempted to gain a preliminary injunction. This injunction would have halted the suspensions until the ensuing trial.

'ensorship Denied By 'Ticker' The editor-in-chief of The Ticker, a student newspaper at

the Baruch school, denied Wednesday, that the appearance >f a blank column and a blank editorial in a recent issue was the result of censorship.

'The column wasn't censored, it was withdrawn," according to Larry evitas, the editor. "No ifs, or buts about it; it wasn't censored," he

re iterated. The editorial was ommited because it dealt with the column, • ~.ch the author proportedly withdrew. Levitas said the space was

Raruch Dean of Students David Newton said that "to my knowl--?, no paper has been censored here . . . no one in the administra-n (has) in any way trampeled the freedom of the editor." Baruch Student Council president Max Beger observed that "the

Paul Milvy (Physics) and Mi­chael Silverstein (Sociology) have volunteered to counsel any stu­dents "concerned with his Selec­tive Service status." The two have recently taken a three week course in draft counseling sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee and the National Law­yers Guild.

The counselors will "primarily exchange legal processes — more than any lawyer would do," said Bert Weinstein (Physics), acting chairman of the Universities Committee.

"We are not co-conspirators with Dr. Spock," Weinstein ex­plained. "We are not showing students how to resist the draft. We want to help students find solutions before they are con­fronted with I-A."

"We just want to let people know the law," Milvy added. Many students do not realize that tihere are several legal ways to avoid ibeing conscripted, Milvy said. "By over-looking the many deferments provided by the law, the student is, in a way, violating the law."

Corporate Counsel Robert Hugh, representing the defendants—the iBoard of Higher Education, Presi­dent Buell G. Gallagher, Dean Sherburne Barber (Liberal Arts and Sciences), and Dean of Stu­dents Willard W. Blaesser — in­troduced a cross motion to dis­miss the students' complaints. If this counter motion is accepted, any hope for future legal actions would be ended.

The students' arguments were the same as those rejected last week: that they were denied their constitutional rights, and due pro­cess; that the College had served as accuser, judge, and jury, and that the College had denied them a proper hearing.

Hugh argued, according to Schmidt, that since the suspen-sfioftfr were^'ahnofst-over there was no need bothering in halting them. He also stated that missing up to one-third of the term is really insignificant, implying that the work could easily be made up.

The case has national interest in view of current unrest a t college campuses throughout the nation. A decision favoring the suspended students would set new precedents in procedures at col­lege discipline hearings. A deci­sion against the students would reaffirm a college's . right to handle discipline proceedings in the traditional manner.

There are presently 23 stu­dents still under suspension. Nine­teen of the students completed their suspensions last Friday. The others have either graduated or have taken a leave of absence from the College.

The College's basketball team again entered the win column Monday with a 87-71 vic­tory over Southern Connecticut State College at Wingate gym.

Birns Breaks School Record Efr JOHN L. FICK >

On Friday, the College's track team competed in the old Madison Square Garden for the last time in the United States Track and Field Federation meet.

Karl Birns competing in the 35 pound weight throw set a new College record in the event while finishing fifth in the meet. Birns tossed the weight 47 feet nine inches, breaking his own record by 14 inches.

Robert "Skip" Johnson ran the 60 yards in 6.6 seconds, one-tenth of a second off the Col­lege record. Artie Dickinson was injured in the 60 yard high hurdl­es and was not able to compete in the Collegiate Track Confer­ence (CTC) Indoor Relay Car­nival the next day.

The track team finished third in the CTC Relays which were held a t Queens College. The day t u m e d out to be a bright one for the team as thcv finished behind

the powerful Fairleigh Dickin­son squad and St. Peters who were tied for first.

The standouts in the meet for the Beavers were Ivan Black, Don Davis, Skip Johnson, and Gary Ramer, the members of the sprint relay team. They came in first in this event, setting a new school record of one minute and 15.5 seconds in the process. The team combined again to finish third in the mile relay.

On Saturday, February 3, the mile relay team won silver me­dals in the Philadelphia Track Classic a t Convention Hall. The team of Black, Johnson, Dickin­son, and Davis ran the distance in 3 minutes and 37.2 seconds on the slow track.

Big men in the rally were Jeff Keizer, who scored 18 of his 30 points in the second period, and Richie Knel who scored 14 of his 21 points in the second half, in­cluding a long 30 foot jumper at

the buzzer tha t brought the house down. B a r r y Gelber hit six out of the seven field goals he a t tempt­ed, and provided some fancy ball handling, in one of his best ap ­pearances this season.

The Beavers ' record is now 2 wins and 11 losses. They have looked good in their last two out­ings, and seem destined for bet­ter th ings than they have done previously this season.

Most people came to NYU ex­pecting to see the Beavers get buried, but this just did not hap­pen. Rebounding from some cold shooting in the opening minutes

ever by defeating Trenton College by a score of 82.55 to 80.85 at Goethals gym.

Twenty-five spectators were on hand to watch the first home gymnastics meet of the season. They were rewarded with an in­terest ing close up view of a new and probably unfamiliar sport. They were also treated to a hear t thumping come from behind vic­tory.

After the first five events, of free exercise, side horse, still r ings, trampoline, and long horse, the Beavers were down by 7.80 points, a considerable margin, with only the parallel bars and high bar events remaining. The gymnasts then went on to sweep these events by 9.50 points with the pressure of 'must ' perform­ances on them.

A pressure performance in gymnastics is unlike any other moment in the College's sports repertoire other than diving. Stan Moy goes up to the parallel bars and s tands there. The entire gym is silent. All eyes are riveted on him alone. There is no one el.se to compete against except him­self. There is no one else to dis­tract at tent ion. He stands there preparing himself for the phys­ical s t ra in t ha t will "be required shortly. F i r s t he must get his mind ready for the mental s train.

Caduceus Society Lecture;

Solution for Transsexual Is Permissiveness By EDMOND DAME

"For many [transsexuals], the sex change operation is their only hope of being able to lead a normal life, their only means of avoid­ing suicide or self-mutila­tion," declared Doctor Har­ry Benjamin, M.D., Thurs­day, in a talk before the Ca-duceus Society.

Explaining that the transsex­ual has a "gender problem," Dr. Benjamin noted that "He feels he is a woman in a man's body. The difference is between the mind and the body." He contrasted this with .the transvestite, who wants to dress as a woman and has a "social problem," and the homo­sexual, who "wants neither to

"dress as a woman nor be accepted as a wtanan. He accepts himself

"as a. man and finds himself, sex­ually aroused, only by. another man.'* The Doctor called this a "sex problem."

Dr. Benjamin stated that when the transsexual seeks help from the medical profession, he will often be urged to try psychother­apy, told "science hasn't found a

cure yet," informed of Biblical dogma pertaining to his problem, or "immorally" ridiculed.

"The only thing that can help these people is permissiveness," Dr. Benjamin declared. "Psycho­analysis and psychotherapy have proven worthless in many cases." He noted that the sex change operation is the only hope for such people.

Di*. Benjamin indicated that conditioning, raising a boy as a girl, could play a part in causing transsexualism, but noted that it was not in evidence in many cases. A more important cause, he ex­plained, was indicated by a dis­covery that a hypothalemic brain center controlling sex behavior is fundamentally female in all fer tuses, whether they are genetic­ally male or female. If something interferes, he said, this center re­mains female, determining the later sexual behavior, and pos­sibly causing gender role dis­orientation.

The Doctor showed color slides of several of his patients. Many of the young women were at­tractive and showed no signs of post-operative masculinity. Some of the individuals shown had

been receiving hormonal treat­ment, but had not as yet under­gone surgery.

One of his patients, Dr. Ben­jamin said, was operated on at the age of 58 and continues to live with his wife, who accepts him in his female role. Another, who the Doctor called "truly a tragic case," had undergone surgery at an advanced age. Pointing to the dual slide showing the individual pre- and post-operatively, he not­ed, "He could never make a living as a woman because of his overly masculine appearance . . . he's the only patient who has ever told me 'I wish I had remained a man. '"

While the homosexual and the transvestite both have organiza­tions, national or local, to turn to, the transsexual is alone. "They are in constant fear from and for their families, their jobs, the law and themselves," Dr. Benjamin declared. "Even if surgery is pre­scribed and performed, such states as New York will do noth­ing to help these people in their new life by issuing a new birth certificate."

Faadty Calls Prefabs Comfortable; Structures to Be Razed By 1972

By LOUIS J. LUMENICK

The members of one de­partment have vowed to "sit in when the time comes to vacate their offices," Dean Eugene Avaltone (Campus Plan­ning and Development) quipped recently. Now that several tem­porary structures, or "huts," on the North Campus are occupied, students and faculty are learning that they are "much nicer on the the inside," in the words of Pro­fessor M. D. Berger (Speech).

"You don't get the feeling of a hut," said Prof. Berger, whose office was moved from the third floor of Shepard to the Speech Department office, Hut ST3. "We now have much more spacious of­fices than we ever had," he ex­plained, and recalled that in the past he and other instructors "were living out of drawers, until enlarged quarters and glass partitions were obtained recent­ly." But.the "huts," are far su­perior, he maintained, and dem­onstrated that "here we can close the door."

Prefabs To Go> By 1972 Mrs. Demarest, a secretary in

the Speech office, called the building "nice, comfortable, well lighted," and lauded the, air-con­ditioning and heating controls, as well as the "windows that open."

Dean Avafione said that the pre-fabs will be definitely dis­mantled "in the fall of 1972," two years after the completion of a new Science building on Jasper Oval.

Dean Eugene Avallone Bureaticratic Dela/y

According to Registrar George Papoulas, five of the North Cam­pus huts, Shepard 801 (Mechan­ical Engineering), Shepard 802 (Biology), Shepard 804 (Chem­ical Engineering), and Shepard 805 (Civil Engineering) are now being used for instruction.; Other structures house part of the math offices and a Speech clinic.

South campus structures will be occupied by the end of the Spring. In the three classroom pre-fabs, the Art and Music departments will get two classrooms each. Of the three remaining huts, one is set to be a Speech Department theatre, another .an extension to the library, and the. last, on site #6 , will house the English office.

Dean Avallone, in a rare inter­view, said that the long-awaited science building would be occu­pied by September, 1970. He laid the blame for the delay in "bu­reaucratic paperwork." This in­cluded the problems of getting "a program of space requirements from four departments and get­ting them coordinated," revising two programs, and re-drawing plans when previously approved ones did not "provide sufficient fire protection," according to new Fire Department regulations. On top of that, there was the prob­lem of transferring paperwork when financing was taken over from the City by the State Dor­mitory Authority, in conjunction with the federal government.

Dean Avallone denied charges that the building's facilities had been drastically cut because of inflation since the plans were or-ighfally drawn.

"The money's there," he main­tained, and said that the proposed costs had increased' because of the "increased scope" of the building, which -now includes a Science Library,mot incorporated into the original plans. He said he was en­couraged by bids "slightly below estimate" for a building at Hun­ter College, since the college is in the same bidder's market.

Massacre Orangeburg happens every day. The massacre at Orangeburg, leaving three students dead

and over 30 wounded, all shot in the back, is at once an ex­tension and a microcosm of the pervasive racism that has always marked America.

Orangeburg reflects every, racial slur and manifestation of prejudice in America — an extension.

Orangeburg is an example of long years of opression and murder in America — a microcosm.

The people who died at Orangeburg were black. The people who killed at Orangeburg were white. It is not enough for white students who are horrified by

Orangeburg to shake their heads and contribute their mo­ney. Racism in Orangeburg depends on Racism in our homes and neighborhoods; toleration gives it strength.

Everyone who is not a friend of oppression must become an apostole of freedom; racism must be found and fought where it flourishes, in white homes and neighborhoods. We must never fear to be impolite in the face of racism, organ­ized or casual.

Orangeburg's massacre occured last week. We were all horrified. Perhaps another massacre will occur next week. We will be horrified again. What will we do this week?

Double Standards SG President Joe Kom's plea at Wednesday night's Stu­

dent Council meeting that council institute a uniform stand­ard for teas is the hight of irony, since Fee Commission by its very nature has no standards and never has made an attempt to establish any.

The policy concerning the newspapers is equally in­equitable, ignoring the quality of each paper, since if quality were a determinent, censorship and personal bias would be­come issues in the allocations. Observation Post publish­ed 21 issues last semester, and Campus published 20. Ask­ing for 21 issues they were awarded with a cut to nineteen issues by Fee Commission and later a one issue cut from the Executive Committee while Tech News was raised two issues by Fee Commission and later a one issue cut by; issues even though they published less than the ten issues for which they were allocated last term.

The reasoning, according to one Fee Commission mem­ber, is that Tech News is "fairer'' to certain SG executives than either OP or Campus.

The Contact Greek Letter controversy ended amably for the larger organizations and for the Student Government budget, but the students lost in the agreement. Both House Plan's Contact and IFC's Greek Letter serve valuable func­tions as House Organs advising their members on parochial topics such as Contact's "Houspitality" Column. The com­promise whereby three-quarters of their net operating ex­penses is aborbed by SG and paid by student fees places the student who is not a member of the organization in the position of supporter, a role which is unfair to the student.

SG should place the responsibility of publishing on the separate organizations and the HPA and IFC accept the legitimate responsibility of raising the necessary fund from their memberships and possible subsidies from Alumni Funds.

By the same reasoning that house organs should be sup­ported by their houses, the Pershing Rifle Regimental Com­mand located at the College should be supported by the US Army. The local company of the Pershing Rifles can justi­fiably argue that they serve the same function as any ath­letic team by representing the College in drill competition The regimental headquarters, responsible for several com­panies located at various colleges, has no tie to the College and as such should not receive any of our funds.

(Continued from Page 1) paid by over 2,000 day session Baruch students can no longer be coliectsd by the College.

The proposal to raise the athle­tic fee will be discussed by Ad­ministration and Student Govern­ment officials early next week. President Buell G. Gallagher said Wednesday that the proposal would be given careful considera­tion but declined to comment further.

The consolidated fee was raised from $27 to $37 in 1966 because of increased administrative costs. Of the current fee, $9 is allocated to the upkeep of the Finley Stu­dent Center, $3 to athletics and 3 to SG for allocation to clubs and newspapers.

Lewis B. Hershey's recent direc­tive limiting graduate student and occupational deferments. "There's not too much we can do now for the graduating students," Milvy said. "We're not experts."

If a student has a very diffi­cult problem, the counselors will refer him to a lawyer, Milvy said. Eric Shmidt, a lawyer who is also employed by 46 suspended stu­dents, has consented to help out along with counselors from the Friends and Lawyers Guild.

The counselors do not have an office, but they can be contacted by mail, care of the College, or by phone at AD 4-2000.

"There's no way to beat this system," said Milvy, who served in the Armed Forces ten years ago. "The faculty has a respon­sibility to the students and itself" to utilize the means of the Com­mittee, Weistein added.

The Committee, which has been inactive at the College for the last two years, is holding a meet­ing today to elect a chairman and discuss policy. "All faculty in­terested in -helping the students and the country should attend at 3-5 PM in Room 303 Cohen Lib-ary," Weisman commented.

good people in this whole thing." Don Davis, who had proposed

the merger as a member of Fee Commission, could not be reached for comment last night.

The Finley 'board's planning council contains nine students, four of whom are known to ap­prove of allocating $1,000 for the newsletter: Allen Blitz, who is the council's chairman and will become the newsletter's editor, IFC President Bob Altabet, HPA President Bill Cherowitzo, and SG Campus Affairs Vice-Presi­dent Henry Frisch.

The Council meeting ended in usual disorder at 8:15 PM when Korn pounded his gavel, inter­rupting several private conversa­tions. A few moments before. Miss Gade stormed out of the meeting, declaring, "This Council has no authority to allocate money . . . I really will not be a part of i t "

Miss Gade was reacting to an unexpected hand vote by which Council decided not to allocate $4 to the Committee to Support Our ^Soldiers in Vietnam to pay for two electro-mimeograph stencils that would be used to print cov­ers for a newsletter. However, a few minutes later, Council ap-prived a recommendation to give the Geological Society two dollars for the same purpose.

The committee was allotted $12 to rent six films for showing during dub meetings.

"I'm scared, mama, I'm scared." The child looked up int the tangled air.

"It's all right, dear. It was only a bad dream." A steady mother voice answered. "Go back to sleep. Close your eyes."

But the child was trembling. "No mama. I'm scared. I can't clos my eyes. I'm scared."

"Sleep now, dear. It will all be over in the morning." The moth« could say nothing else.

"No mama. It won't be over. I saw it. It's just beginning . . . " "No, child. It is only a bad dream, a nightmare." "But, mama, I saw it. It's not a dream. It's real, and it's comii

here . . . I'm scared!" "It is all so far away, chjld. It isn't real. Don't be scared." Th

mother was now worried. "No, it is real and we must do something. We have to stop it." "Stop what, dear? Stop what?" Although by now the moth*

knew the answer; she had to. "The men, mama. The bad men. They . . . oh, I saw that boy lyini

there . . . dead! He was just lying on the ground, dead. And blow was coming from his back. And his friends . . ." The child almost crie in disgust. Almost. -

"Why was he dead? How did he die? Tell me, child." "I don't know, mama. I don't know why; he was just dead. An

those bad men, mama. They had hard hats and big sticks and gun and . . . mama, I'm scared." The child did not cry; it wasn't real yet

"No, it was all a dream child. Go back to sleep, please." And noi the mother knew it was real; she wished so much that she could go I sleep, could make it disappear. '

"I can't go to sleep, mama. I can't close my eyes. I can still se them. And they're coming! I'm so scared. I don't know what to da What can we do, mama ?"

"Don't worry." And now the mother was trembling. "It's not rea It will all be gone in the morning. Don't be scared."

"Mama, I saw their faces. Those bad men . . . their faces . . . the were smiling. Mama, they were smiling. They shot their bullets am they smiled. And they shot more bullets. And the'boy died and hi friends all fell hard on the dirt and cried and screamed in horror and those men . . . they were smiling. Oh, I don't know why mama but those big happy ugly men in hard hats kept coming towards me . . shooting and" smiling. And there are always more and more of them they just keep getting bigger and keep coming towards me. They wil be here soon, mama, I know it. I saw dt. It's so real and I'm scared. The child almost cried. But not yet; it wasn't real, yet.

And this time the mother said nothing. She couldn't; she Began t see it, too. And she was scared. Trembling with fright. She wanted s much to close her eyes and go to sleep and make it disappear whei she woke up. But it was too late, now. She could no longer sleep. Sh was awake, and she could no longer close her eyes. And she, too, almoe cried.

"Mama," the child spoke very quietly and slowly, "what can we do How can we make it go away? How can we make that boy alive?"

"Dear, I don't know. I'm scared, too, now, and I don't know whj we can do. Try to fall back asleep. Close your eyes."

"But we must do something. We can't go to sleep. They're real aci they're coming and I'm scared." The child would have cried now . . j but for her mother. I

"I know dear. But . . . maybe they won't come here. Oh, yes: theJ won't come here. Not here. They're far away. They're bad but fd away. Dear, we must go back to sleep. It's the only way . . ." No. ll wasn't real enough. I

"I'll try, mama." But the child knew she could not sleep. Not now! They were coming. She saw them! They were so near and cominJ closer . . . more and more of them. Those big happy ugly men wit3 hard hats were coming towards her. And they were smiling! She coull not go to sleep. Not now. 1

And the tangled and tense air pressed against her trembling tentj pies; her eyes slowly closed. "Sleep, dear, sleep. Close your eyes." Ami her mother lay down next to her, closing her eyes. 1

"It was all a dream, a bad dream. It will all be gone in the morn] ing." It wasn't real enough. And both shut their eyes again and slept!

And outside their window those Kg bad men with hard hats werJ coming closer. And were smiling. 1

The child's eyes now had closed out the tangled air. She had rej turned to her dreams: it would all be gone in the morning. I

But a voice inside her kept saying, "But this is the morning, mam J This is the morning." j

Activists Call for Anti-War Strike (College Press Service)

More than 900 student activists from the United States and Latin America have called for a world-wide student strike "against the the war in Vietnam and racism."

The students announced plans for the strike during a conference last January, sponsored by the Stu­dent Mobiliation Committee, a New York-based organiza-

strike against "imperialism, ra­cism, and the draft."

The majority of students at­tending the conference strongly supported the strike, but there still was some opposition. The

tion which helped plan large-scale demonstrations in New York and California last April 15 and the massive demonstration at the Penta­gon last Oct. 21.

The strike will be'held Friday, April 26, in the midst of 10 days of concentrated anti-war activity scheduled from April 20 to April 30. The 10-day period coincides with the "Ten Days to Shake the Empire" program announced at a national meeting of Students for a Democratic Society last De­cember.

The black caucus at the con­ference last weekend called its

dents at the conference to "con­centrate on local issues showing how they are tied into the war and into the society we live in, and in this way build the consci­ousness of the movement. We don't need elite-sponsored gim­micks that can so easily fail."

York Poll Favors Fort Totten 306 students at York College, the newest senior college in the City

University, last week voted 173-102 to locate their new campus at] Fort Totten, Queens.

The poll, co-sponsored by the York Student Leadership Council and the architectural firm of Myller, Snibe and Tafel, received responses from 83% -of the student body.

The Glen Oaks site finished second; the Spring Creek site placed third and the underdeveloped South Jamaica section finished last, re­ceiving only six votes. South Jamaica is favored by the City Admin-istration.

The Board of Higher Education, which will determine the permanent location of the college, held a hearing Tuesday at which approxim­ately 100 community residents argued for the sites.

MESSAGE To the Editor:

I send you, friends, my best wishes for the New Year 1968.

As you all know, no Vietna­mese has ever come to make trouble in the United States. Yet, half a million U.S. troops have been sent to South Vietnam who, together with over 700,000 puppet and satellite troops, are daily massacring Vietnamese people and burning and demolishing Viet­namese towns and villages.

In North Vietnam, thousands of U.S. planes have dropped over 800,000 tons of bombs, destroy­ing schools, churches, hospitals, dikes and densely populated areas.

The U.S. Government has caus­ed tens of thousands of U.S. youths to die or to be wounded in vain On Vietnam battlefields.

Each year, the U.S. Govern­ment spends tens of billions of dollars, the fruit of the American people's sweat and toil, to wage war in Vietnam.

In a word, the U.S. aggressors have not only committed crimes against Vietnam, they have also wasted U.S. lives and richnesses, and stained the honour of the United States.

Friends, in struggling hard to make the U.S. Government stop its aggression in Vietnam, you are defending justice and, at the same time, you are giving us sup­port.

To ensure our fatherland's in­dependence, freedom and unity, with the desire to live in peace and friendship with all peoples the world over, including the American people, the entire Viet­namese people, united and of one mind, are determined to fight against the U.S. imperialist ag-

Thank you for your support for the Vietnamese people.

REPARATION To the Editor:

It is nearly 30 years since Bertrand Russell received the in­famous snub from City College, which, under pressure, found him "unfit to teach."

Dr. Russell was certainly no more a battler of goliaths at that time than he is today. But if the College, and now the University, are ever to make their peace with this 20th-century giant, it is go­ing to have to be soon.

I can think of no finer gesture from any American institution, and no more potentially fruitful event in the coming criticar months, than an invitation from City College asking Dr.,RUssell to deliver this year's commence­ment address.

The students of CCNY ought-to have a say in deciding upon whom such honor is bestowed. If your newspaper and your friends presented this suggestion to the campus right now, I'm certain you would generate an immediate and overwhelming demand from students and faculty that the in­vitation be extended, and I'm equally certain that the Admin­istration would concur even if it had one of the usual government hacks in mind. Dr. Russell might not physically be able to attend, but doubtless he'll make every attempt to be there and give you a damn good show.

Could there be a better gift to the Grand Old Man who now nears his centennial year?

An Open Letter to President Gallagher:

On Thursday, Feb. 15, 1968, an "Olympic Day" was held at CCNY to publicize and show student sup­port for the athletic teams at the College. At this rally and athletic demonstration you, as well as a representative of the U.S. Olym­pic Committee, spoke. Afterward a collection was made to help sup­port the U.S. team.

In view of the fact that the IOC (International Alympic Commit-

„ tee) and the AOC (American Olympic Committee) approved South Africa's participation the very next day, I now urge you to repudiate the OAC's stand and request that it return all monies collected at CCNY.

The OAC's stand is an insult to the Olympic ideal and to every black athlete at the College and elsewhere. I hope this request will not be taken as a condemna­tion of our fine Olympic team, but of the policy of the American Olympic Committee (a self-ap­pointed group).

Respectfully yours, Eugene Skurnick

In Opening of DuBois Inquiry

FOR SALE Four storey-brick building near Convent Ave. Suitable for fraternity.

Call AU 3-5589

The government has re­quested a thirty-day delay in the opening of hearings on the W.E.B. DuBois Clubs to be conducted by the Subver­sive Activities Control Board (SACB).

If the postponement is granted, hearings will not commence on February 27, the date now set. "It's outrageous that they need another postponement," according to Jarvds Tyner, national chair­man of the DuBois Clubs. He claimed the board was engaging in "stalling tactics" and asserted that the postponement was the result of the threat of "the first real massive demonstrations against SCAB."'

Describing the SACB, created by the McCarron Act, as an un­constitutional body "used pri­

marily to crush organizations," he said his organization was asking that the hearings be "dismissed totally if (the SACB) d-s not pre­pared to go ahead with it."

Likening the act to" the Alien and Sedition Acts, Tyner asserted that it is "based on the false assumption that there is an in­ternational communist conspir­acy," and said it was sympto­matic of the "climate of repres­sion" in this country.

Tyner said that this was an example of attempts to "stifle the movement," because the govern­ment is "losing the war militarily and politically."

All but one of the College's swimmers qualified for the finals, but, seriously undermanned, the mermen could not hope to beat the much deeper Queens squad. Representative of the shorthand-edness of the team is that the meter diving event had to be for­feited because the team has no divers. This deficiency has plagued the team throughout the season, as they have had to give away precious points in close meets because no one in the Col­lege cares enough about the team to come out and dive.

The final score of the meet was Queens, 131; Beavers, 84; Brooklyn, 39; and Hunter, 38.

Girl Hoopsters Defeat St Josephs, Increasing Victory Streak To Eight

In what coach Roberta Cohen called "a beautiful game," the women's basketball team defeated St. Joseph's College by a score of 53-41, Wednesday night at the Brooklyn court, to increase their winning streak to eight straight games.

After trailing through most of the first half, the Beaverettes had to come back from a 23-19 (halftime deficit to gain their first victory ever at St. Joseph's court.

Halfway through the final quarter, with the score close, the Lavender pressing defense began to pay off. Jean Ehret, Nine So-kol, Lillian Montalbano, and Ma­rian Linder each intercepted a St. Joseph's pass and went in to score. The eight points brought the Beaverettes from two down to six ahead and broke the game open.

On offense, Miss Ehret was high scorer with 22 points, most of them coming on jump shots. Miss Montalbano scored 12 points, while co-captain Sokol tallied 11 ipoints in addition to her play-making chores.

The Beaverette's defense led by Lynn Bogash, Star Greenfield, and Catry Colonnese held the powerful St. Joseph's offense in check until the Beaver shooters could overcome the lead.

The victory over St. Joseph's was the Beaverette's eighth in a arow, the longest winning streak in the team's history. It also eliminated the second 'most fear­ed game on their schedule. St. Joe's has traditionally been a tough team for the Lavender with this victory being only the second one over their archrivals.

Jean Ehret Beaverette's Top Scorer

The Beaverette's record is now eight wins and only one loss. The chances appear good that the team's former best season re­cord of 9-3 will be improved upon as only Molloy looms on the horizon.

On Thursday, February 15, Stony Brook chose the wrong team to play its first intercollegiate women's bas­ketball game against. It found this out in a 61-9 loss to the College's hoopsterettes at Park gym-

The Beaverettes are a tough team to beat when they have an average game, but on Thursday, one of their better nights, it was an impossible task.

After the game, the coach of Stony Brook seemed to be wear­ing an envious look as she ques­tioned Mrs. Roberta €ohen about the plays the Beaverettes had used.

The top scorer in the limited time she played was Jean Ehret with 16 points. Lillian Montalba­no contributed nine and Marian Linder, seven.

The top rebounder was Cyn­thia West with ten.

The victory was the seventh in a row for the Beaverettes, es­tablishing the longest winning streak in the team's history.

On March 7, the hoopsterettes travel to Molloy College, which is currently unbeaten, for prob­ably the biggest game of the season.

Runners Take 2nd in CUNY's As Queens Wilis Meet Again

The College's track team finished second to Queens in the annual dual meet between them, better known as the City University of New York (CUNY) championships. The efforts of Brooklyn and Hunter counted little in the out­come of Saturday's meet at Queens.

The College's swimming team scored more points than both Hunter and Brooklyn Colleges combined at the 8th Annual City University Swimming Championships last Saturday, but Queens College, swimming in their own pool, dominated all the scoring, taking first in eleven of the twelve events.

The Beaver's sole gold medal

took third place in the high jump. Andy Ferrara turned in respec­

table times in the mile and two mile runs to take the silver medal in each. In the two mile event he finished second to Walter Gantz of Brooklyn, renewing rivalry between the two dating back to the cross country season.

In the sprint events, Robert Johnson and Gary Ramer claimed the second and third place medals

Olympic Skier-Journalist PMmmmmmmm By Noah DaVld GufOCfc

CHAMROUSSE, France, Feb. 11 — Suzanne Chaffee has a dislike for uninformed reporters who ask stupid questions about her ski races.

In fact, the 21-year-old Rutland, Vermont alpine skier, who is her. self a journalism student, has developed a system for rating reporters1

questions. It's a five-point scale, with the most intelligent queries get. ting the top scores.

So when a couple of writers who know very little about alpine skiing wanted to interview her after her sub-par 28th place finish in yesterday's downhill race here in the Tenth Winter Olympics, she found out very quickly that she had to interview herself to give them the story.

"Tell me, what's an intelligent question you would ask a girl who just finished a race and did poorly in i t ? " one of the reporters asked Suzy as they sat in a sidewalk cafe and ate crepe suzzettes.

Suzy thought for a moment and said: "I'd ask her: 'Did you run your l ine? ' "

"Well, did you run your line today?," the reporter asked. "No, I knew I'd blown the race before the first corner," she said.

"We'd blown the wax. I didn't know what to do. One of my skis was faster than the other. I never bad that experience before."

Suzy said that she'd rate that as worth five-points if she were asked it. Then she gave the re-

' porters an example of a four. point question.

"Was the snow as fast today as it was in practice?," was her offering. , Well, was i t ? "

"It should have been faster," she said. "It would have been faster if we had waxed properly."

After she completed the down, hill race, Suzy, half in tears, tried to rush' over to her coach. Bob Beattie, but a persistent reporter, with a handfull of stupid ques­tions, wouldn't let her.

"Hey, honey, sweetie," he said, "how'd it go ?"

"Finally I told him: Tist^i, I got to find my coach and tell him to have them change the wax',"

she said. "The top flat was an entity onto itself.' The problem there, she explained, was that the top flats, which

had frozen overnight, had thawed out considerably while the rest of the course was hard. And the American skiers had waxed — incor­rectly, it turned out — for the hard snow, causing Suzy to lose time in the opening flat.

"You usually wax for the warm place," she said, "and that's where we blew it. You don't have to wax for the hard snow, really."

"Because it gets scraped off?/ ' the reporter asked. "That's right — hey you're getting the idea." Then the journalist asked the journalist-to-be for a third intelligent

question he could use — but be wanted a five-pointer. "Did the fog psyche yon out?" was her obligement. "A little.," was her answer. "When we got out here in the morning

at 10 o'clock, the fog was coming in and out, in and out. But later, tEa fog went away up there and I knew that it was as good as it was be­fore."

Since he now had three questions he could ask the next skier he was assigned to interview, the reporter ventured out on his own and asked Suzy how she would do in Thursday's giant slalom race.

" I l l do my best," she said, "it's hard to get much worse. Oh — that's a one-point question."

was taken by senior Jerry Zahn, who again broke the school re­cord in the 200 yard butterfly by finishing in a time of 2 minutes and 22.8 seconds, a full three seconds faster than the old re­cord which he had also held. To

Coach Allan Kwart-ler used substitutes the rest of the way. Melanie Ross and NeWa Latham led the Beaverette surge, each garnering three victories without a defeat. The parrieret­tes are highly optimistic about bettering last year's 4-4 record.

win the race he had to defeat Queens star Jeff Peltzer, who set a new meet record in the qualifying heat. The new record erased the only Beaver mark in the CUNY's, set in 1967 by Lar­ry Levy. All the meet records are now held by Queens.

Earlier in the day, Zahn took third place in the 1000 yard free­style, which is held without quali­fying heats.

Co-captain Henry Eckstein broke the College's 1000 yard freestyle record for the fourth time this year. Swimming at a strong pace throughout the long distance event, he finished sec­ond with a time of 12:18.4, low­ering the record by 13.5 seconds. Later in the meet he won two more silver medals. In the 500 yard freestyle, he lost to a Queens swimmer in the last lap of the 20 lap event
