The Right to Exist T h e M a r x i s t Discussion Club, an u n d e r g r a d u a t e v,rg-an-

izat ion devoted to t h e s tudy of t he doctr ines of Kar l Marx

and t h e i r applicat ion, is in d a n g e r of gofng out of existence.

Thisr is because t h a t g roup h a s , as yet , been unable to find a

m e m b e r of t h e College facul ty to serve as an advisor .

T h e club h a s wr i t t en l e t t e r s to over s ix ty ins t ruc to r s ,

asking^ t h e m to serve as facul ty advisor . Only a few answers

have been received, and all of these a re in the nega t ive .

O P wonders whe the r t h e refusal of so m a n y facul ty

m e m b e r s to serve is due to a "c l imate of f ea r " o r j u s t fac­

ul ty indifference to s tudent o rgan iza t ions . W h a t e v e r t he rea­

son, t h e club should be allowed to exist, w h e t h e r or not a

facul ty advisor can be found.

Th i s un fo r tuna t e s i tuat ion indicates the need for a re­

view of the en t i re problem of t he required facul ty advisor.

OP, by the way, has been helped immeasurab ly by its ad­

visors , both Professors Purcell and Yohannan hav ing been

s taunch suppor t e r s and loyal f r iends of the paper for many

yea r s . But many groups at t h e College a re not so fo r tuna te ,

especially if the i r views a r e unpopular .

The necessi ty for hav ing a faculty advisor has never

been made clear, nor has his role ever been accura te ly and

precisely defined. The exis t ing rule must be modified to

pe rmi t clubs to exist a t the College wi th or wi thout a faculty

advisor .

Jungerwir th who is" majoring in physics and electrical engineering built the syllometer a t a cost of $$7.25 for the wiring, relay

Beaver Riflers Meet Jaspers

By BERND LORCE

The City College Rifle Team will open a fifteen game schedule against Manhat tan College Satur­day. Accordingto Sergeant Rich­ard Hoffman, the team's coach, the Beavers are expected to win, judg­ing by Manhat tan 's poor showing last year.

The four top men are AI Moss, the team's high scorer. Bob Simon, Hank Brochhagen and John Miller. They have been practicing since the beginning of October, and hope to be at the peak of condition for their 'December meet with St. John's , last year 's Metropolitan League Champions.

"Last year the team finished fifth in a field of sixteen in the Met League, a record which the team will bet ter this season," comment­ed Coach Hoffman, who took over the squad in mid-season from Sgt. Funstuek. • - - " v

In a practice meet with St. Fran­cis of Xavier High School, one of the best teams of its class in the country, the Lavender nimrods won by five points.

Many members of Xavier 's Rifle Team will eventually enter into the ranks of St. John 's varsity team.

BRING THIS AD

By CEOftGE WOLFE

The team performed very well; against Pratt. This is the first' time that the attack has worked together so well since the begin­ning of the season. I believe that this Saturday's g^me against the Long Island Aggies will be a .great one. The Aggies have one of. (heir best teams in recent years. Our defense stopped sev­eral Pratt scoring drives, and I hope that they will be able to stop the s t a r - s t u d d e d Long

College and the Long Island Ag­gies,

Score Mounts

The Beavers had an easy time against the Yellowjackets of Pratt, scoring thro goals in the initial •stanza and two markers in the sec­ond and third quarters. With 14:29 gone by in the opening period Tommy Holm scored on a hard shot that landed in the upper right-hand corner. Eikstrems, who set Holm up for the first score, came back ninety seconds, later to tally the second Beaver goal on a pass from Holm. The ball slipped through the hands of Pratt goalie Stan Sludikoff and with three min­utes remaining in the quarter Ed

Trunk tallied on a beautiful head shot.

The Beavers completely domi­nated the play in the second stanza. Eikstrems took a pass from Andy Kessenides and beat Sludikoff in the nets with only one minute gone by. Anyaegb.unam closed out the City scoring in the first half at the 13:15 mark, when his shot bounded through the hands of Sludikoff.

Morris Hockerman took a pass from Holm to score the sixth Beaver goal with four minutes gone in the third period. One min­ute later Mario Ferrari tallied the seventh marker. This goal tied the previous Lavender high of Met League play. The Beavers defeat­ed Queens College, 7-0, in 1951.
