Editorial

A Warning Both the freshmen and the sophomores going to the

polls today to elect their class officers for next year will be confronted with an extremely long list of candidates. At first glance, this appears to be an excellent rebuke to the charge of "political apathy", the din of which cry has reached crescendo proportions in the last three years. Whether this is an accurate interpretation of this plethora of office seekers, however, remains to be questioned.

First, let us quickly review the recent history of this "political apathy" charge here at Georgetown. Two years ago, Yard President Whelan was forced to publicly plead for members of the Class of 1960 to run for the executive positions on the Student Council. Last year, a mere four members of the Class of 1961 competed for the same three offices. In a "remarkable" display of ambition, seven mem­bers of the present Junior Class ran for Yard office this year. These facts do not have to be interpreted as apathy, they could simply mean there is a dearth of capable poli­ticians not only at Georgetown but everywhere.

Staying on this parochial level, there are only eight members of the Class of 1962 competing for the five Senior Class offices, in contrast to the myriad of political aspirants among the underclassmen. In our opinion, no more than three of four of these junior candidates deserve to be run­ning for office. Similarly, only three or four of those who competed in the recent Yard elections should have been in the race. Therefore, we admit the existence of no more than eight deserving office-seekers in the Junior Class, a class which has performed a relatively capable job of gleaning its political talent and which has had three years in which to do so.

lf, after three years of searching for capable office holders, the Class of 1962 can only discover eight deserving candidates, it hardly seems hypercritical to question the pos­sibility of there being so many worthwhile aspirants in both underclasses. (This is assuming the highly questionable premise that all the deserving men are running). The only deduction ,",7e can make is that there is a consideable number of individuals running for office in these years who have no right to do so. Fortunately, underclassmen are not as affected by personal feelings as the juniors and seniors, but they do suffer the lack of that familiarity gained by three or four years of close association which breeds knowledge of the worth of one's fellow classmates.

It is this problem of recognizing the few deserving can­didates among the horde, not the threat of "political apathy", which confronts the classes of 1963 and 1964 as they go to the polls today. We can do no more than warn them of the difficulty of their decision and trust that they will re­flect that mature judgment which is so noticeably lacking on much of the campus.

Letters To The Editor

To The Gentlemen of Georgetown: Thursday you will be asked to

vote whether or not Georgetown should have an Honor Code. We believe that there is a marked apathy within the student body which will cause this honor code to be defeated or only nan'owly accepted. This, we feel, is wrong. There are definite advantages with­in this code as well as responsibi­lities. And remember, we students will only gain a voice in our affairs after we indicate that we are cap­able of responsibility, for, as Fa­ther Sellinger has said: "Privilege will only follow responsibility."

As we see it, the most popular question on the Honor System is the validity of "dual responsibil­ity." By this is meant the report­ing of any infraction of the Honor Code by another student. We feel that this is an integral part of the code, and it can be defended on two levels: one, the theoretical, and the other practical. With regard to the theoretical: We must remember that the individual student is primarily responsible for the gen­eral welfare. In other words, in the light of objective reasoning, al­legiance to a higher idea naturally supercedes that of inferior rank­ing in the hierarchy of moral ends.

On the practical side we feel as though it will be impossible for the code to exist in an atmosphere where an extl'emely small minority still holds the power to destroy its viability. Inherent sanctions are the only mean of insuring its in­tegrity and perpetuation. That is, if this Honor Code is to be upheld on the plane on which it is neces­sary f01' it to exist, and if it is to be anything more than a farce, we must guard against the influ­ence of this dangerous "minority. The only means to this end is "dual responsibility," You should remember that the Student Council voted in favor of this provision so that the Honor Code, and with it, all its provisions and advantages, might be upheld.

Contrary to those who would criticize this Honor Code, there are many advantages both for the individual student and for the stu­dent body as a whole. This is true because student honor is the pos­session of the student body as a whole and because under an honor

The Magic Lantern by Tom Scheye

One Eyed Jacks After many months on the outside world it would be pleasant to

return to the dark and charm of the movie theater, or so we thought as we waited in line to see One Eyed Jacks. How wrong we were. While we were at times amused, we were more often nauseated and our final impression was one of anger that we had wasted two hours and had not been even entertained.

Advance publicity describes One Eyed Jacks as a startling and unique artistic master-piece. It isn't. It is just another B-western that they show on Saturday morning at the neighborhood theater. And while the principals may be big stars (Brando, Karl Malden, Katy .Jurado) and the scenery fantastic, the plot is still cheap and the dialogue an offense even to Gary Cooper, with all respects to his talent.

The story line concerns the desire of one bandit, Brando, to re­venge himself on his ex-partner, Malden, who deserted him in his hour of need. The partner has gone straight and is now 'the sheriff in the town of Monterey. Brando is enlisted by three faceless humans to rob the bank of Monterey. A pleasant and simple beginning though not too exciting, you say, but wait, the complications are just starting. When Brando accosts Malden after five years, he makes pretense of having forgiven him. We knew all the time what was going on, though, because we watched Brando's nostrils flaring angrily. But the plot really thickens when Brando falls in love with Malden's step-daughter and spends the night on the beach with her.

You really wouldn't be interested in what happens after this. I know I wasn't but the film ends with Malden, who has flogged Brando in one of the most tasteless scenes we have ever seen, being killed by Brando's bullet in the back, and a fairly decent farewell between the two lovers.

This summary however does not do the film any kind of justice because it comes across not in simple prose but in glorious though gory color among unnaturally beautiful scenery with lots of hideous dialogue. And if the quality of the dialogue were not enough the diction which the principals employ to utter it stands out as the worst single aspect of the whole ordeal. Words are mumbled, swallowed, and in gen­eral slaughtered. The situation is so bad that we still don't know what Brando's name in the film is supposed to be and whether Malden is called Dan or Dad. It may seem like a small point but it is a damn nuisance, if you'll excuse us, to have to strain so much to decode the meaningless drivel that is the dialogue.

But perhaps we are being too harsh because there are some selling points that should be noted in the interest of justice. The biggest one is the scenery and here some of the credit has to go to that arch-villain Brando, because it was he who as director selected and shot what he wanted. And it is beautiful, though some of the credit has to go to California which owns the property. There are sand dune scenes and surf scenes and forest scenes and they are all practically worth the price of admission but all that nice scenery is always cluttered with those horrible people and their equally horrible chatter.

All the direction is good throughout the picture and it establishes Brando in a new niche. It is I fear where he belongs because this picture proves too, beyond a reasonable shadow of a doubt, that he is not cut out to be an actor. If he wants to remain in front of the cameras, though, what he needs most of all is a strong director and in this movie that is exactly what he doesn't have. Brando the director does not subject Brando the actor to the least bit of discipline, and it shows. He makes no effort to speak. That gibberish that he used so effectively in On the Waterfront is back and this time it doesn't fit.

Besides Brando there is Karl Malden who looks as comfortable in western duds as Elsa Maxwell in a sheath and is all in all the' most unlikely bandito you have ever seen. Still he does an incredible job of bringing an air of credibility to an unbelievable character. I mean, have you ever heard of a gangster who goes straight, who preaches platitudes, and is at the same time an ostentatious sadist. Even if you do grant this ridiculous premise, it is questionable purely on the grounds of taste. He is nauseating.

The Problem of Military Aid Many of the emerging nations of the world have been the recip­

ients of "gifts" of military equipment from either the Sino-Soviet bloc or the Western Alliance. This type of aid is usually accompanied by widespread publicity, Moscow and Peiping asserting that it will enable "peace-loving" peoples to resist "imperialist aggressions," while Wash­ington maintains that it will protect "free peoples" against "subver­sion." One result of this publicity is to distort the real significance and usefulness of the complex implements of modern war that are bestowed upon small, strategic, and underdeveloped nations from Laos to Cuba. In this column, I would like to examine just two aspects of this problem: does this equipment really strengthen these nations and if not what use does it have to them and to the countries donating it.

Elements of Strength and Weakness

In the first place it should be always kept in mind that a modern army is an extremely complex, delicate, and expensive mechanism. To be effective, it requires numbers of trained personnel, the guidance of experienced leadership and a volume of logistic support that most of the new nations (and a great many of the older ones) cannot possibly afford. Yet without the economic and technological "infrastructure" and the necessary skilled personnel no nation can create and maintain a modern army. Lacking these essentials a nation can of course main­tain a force, like the bulk of the British-Indian Army in the days before World War Two, capable of undertaking internal security duties or stopping limited aggressions by powers similarly armed and equipped.

Artn aul\ 1Lrttrrn by N. John Kilmer

Point 0' View Even the most elementary discussion concerning the philosophical

circumlocutions of J. P. Sartre must of necessity involve his novel of love in the priestly life, Le Sacre du N eant. The viscosity of this pre­liminary ontological "gilravage" demonstrates a more than incondite neologistical superfluity of intellectual perinephrium.

In order to fully demonstrate this, in this, of necessity, brief essay, it would seem of behoof first to resurvey the sequence of events occur­ring between the first and fifty-seventh pages. Igor, a rather loose moral pleonasm, goes to visit a friend of his, a Miss Smith, who, like all of Sartre's characters, is free. But, as Hugo Mueller has so intelligently discovered, in his exhaustive study, "Fraulein Schmidt ist nicht zu Hause."(l)

Indeed, herein lies the crust of the matter. Igor, disappointed, goes to visit a friend of his who is so free he drowns cats without even hurt­ing them. Freedom, Igor discovers, seems to be to all people, even if they don't want it. "Combien", he remarks, "peut-on etre libre qui n'est pas un drapeau ?" (2) a question which Sartre attempts, though vainly, to elucidate. This friend, a Russian expatriate having no talents either in the restaurant or the taxicab trade, answers into his beer the terrible, unanswered question, "Ou sont les chats de mon babushka?"(3) As Professor Heinrich von Dimpledorfer has remarked, showing in one brief word a sturdy insight into the depths of Sartrian ontology, "Wahnsinn" _ «)

But there are deeper matters here than meet the eye. We must not for a moment lose sight of the fact that Sartre, having his novels trans­lated into Braille to give them depth, may not be dismissed merely as an author of what the French critic describes as "risible scrummage". (5)

The Scot critic, Harry McQuiston, has pointed out, not without some scrobiculate virtuosity, "I dinna ken Sartre verra weel. I fach mesel' he writes yon little bookies to mean naething."(O) This, of course, is precisely the point. But McQuiston has failed to understand what is presented to him even in the very title of the book, this nothing has tremendous depth, and terrible implications for the serious student of this war-torn world_ Any sensible critic will dismiss McQuiston's in­abilities with gay chuckle. How could anyone be so stupid? Nothing, suspended in dynamic tension between absence and negation, has an importance all its own metaphysically.

It is perpetUally shallow minds, such as McQuiston's, which fail to recognize the untroubled perfection and deep clarity of, for instance, Sartre's brilliant logical structures. His dialogues fairly hum with the plethoras of logical sequences. Consider this small gem of a syllogism roughly translated from a conversation between Mlle. Smith and Igor:

Polly put the kettle on Polly put the kettle on Polly put the kettle on

Ergo We'll all have tea. (7)

What beauty in what dyspnoeal simplicity! What truth in what economy of means! The first three propositions follow one from another, while the fourth follows inexorably after the first three (as may easily be seen by looking at the page above).

But herein do we not discover the most primary effect of Sartre's novel. Although his principal consideration in writing is purely numismatological, as any of his serious students will immediately agree, the effect of Igor's obligato of pure freedom is a powerful one. Sartre demonstrates for us with incontrovertable turgidity, the pointlessness of his (Igor's, I guess) existence because he is so tragically free that he never knows from one inoment to the next what is going to happen to him. This, indeed, is the simian tragedy of Sartre. This is the tragedy of every man, even those who belligerently refuse to accept Sartre while secretly knowing that he is right. Igor sums it up in the high point of the book (it is, formal critics will notice, on the very significant page twenty-three) .

Parfois l'essor de ma liberte me fait voir les limites eternelles.(8) Sometimes I feel so free I make myself sick. (Translation my very

Optimistic '62. Candidates Faced By Poll Test Today

1962 CANDIDATES ... Left to right. First row: Paul Tagliabue, Dale Silva, Brian Dwyer, and Andy Piretti. Second row: Ben Cabell, Bob Searles, Pete MendeIis, and Ed Cook.

SophoDiores Choosing Third Year Leadership

Sophomores go to the polls today to select their class officers for the coming year. Five offices are up for grabs, in addition to the post of chairman of next year's Junior Prom (for latter, see story on page 8).

A total of sixteen sophomores have declared their candidacies for the five available slots. Nominations were held in Copley Lounge on April 19, the same date as nominations by the other classes.

President A candidate for president of

next year's junior class is Jim Mietus, at present working his way through an Honors pre-med course. Mietus has contributed to the Georgetown sports !:lcene on both the frosh and varsity crew teams, and has been a member of the Glee Club. He also served as vice president of his freshman class.

As a candidate, Mietus sum­marizes his platform this way: The program I propose is twofold: frequent, regularly-scheduled meet­ings between class officers and Ad­ministration, and an increase in the responsibilities of the student government."

Daniel Moriarty, class treasurer for the past two years, is waging a campaign for the presidency "with greatest emphasis on the in­dividual." His platform calls for a two-part questionnaire to deter­mine wide-spread class opinion that he would use in formulating pro­grams, such as class council re­vision.

Moriarty, an AB English major from New York City, is the only two-term officer of his class, is currently on The HOY A staff, is co-ordinator for the Parents' Week­end-Calliope program, and has been appointed a member of next year's Gaston Lecture Committee.

Lambert Spronck stated his idea of the primary duty of the class president: "I would like to articu­late the class's position as clearly and as forcefully as I can to the Administration and to the Student Council concerning the academic, social, and athletic life of our class."

Spronck, an AB philosophy (Honors) major from Menlo Park, California, is currently sophomore secretary. He is also active in the Philodemic Society and on The HOYA staff.

Around for his second consecu­tive whirl of the campus campaign circuit is John Walsh, an AB (Hon­ors) economics major. Walsh lives

(Continued on page 6)

The members of the junior class will cast their ballots today and choose their sen­ior class officers. The choice will be made among the six candidate aspiring for the of­fices of Student Council representa­tive, and treasurer. The offices of president, vice president and sec­retary are unopposed.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

Paul Tagliabue

Paul Tagliabue of Jersey City, N. J. is the unopposed candidate for president. Tagliabue, an AB government major, is the captain of the '61-'62 basketball team, publi­city chairmen for the Jazz Festi­val, a member of Who's Who, and a Dean's List student.

Greater responsibility and more leadership are the things which he expects from next year's sen­ior class. In his views, an expan­sion of the powers of the Student Advocate Board and the publica­tion of the nearly prepared In­formation Please (a guide to post­graduate opportunities) are those things which need to be completed.

Tagliabue proposes to institute a tutor system of underclassmen by monetarily reimbursed upperclass­men. A bulletin on speakers for the coming week, and oral exam study sheet, and an effort to obtain a national figure as a commence­ment speaker are also among his new proposals. "In order to reach our goals," he stated, "we must have the concerted efforts of the entire class working in a respon­sible manner along with the elected officers. "

VICE PRESIDENT Brian Dwyer

Brian Dwyer, a AB economics major from Scarsdale, N. Y., is the candidate for vice president. He has served as an officer of the Young Republicans, chairman of the Junior Prom, and a member of the Collegiate Club, Hazing Committee, and the N. Y. Met Club. In addition he is the initiator of the Class of 1962 Lecture Series.

His objectives are the establish­ment of Student-Faculty Socials and an Economics Club, and the expansion and continuance of the lecture series. He also feels that a greater emphasis should be placed on class committees to bet­ter serve the senior class.

Dwyer indicated that his prime

Despite the absence of Gal­lup polls, marching bands, and whistle stops, the freshman class will hold its year elec­tions today. Thirteen men are declared candidates for the five offices at stake. For the top prize of president three candidates have presented their names on the banot, Mark Pisano, Marshall Michel, and Drew Valentine.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

Marshall Michel

Marshall Michel attended Coun­try High School in New Orleans. This year he has participated in Dowd Rifles, the intramural foot­ball team, and served as Student Council representative for the freshman class.

"I believe that the president of the class should act as a unifying force not only among the members of the class but also between the class, the Student Council, and the Administration. I think that my position this year on both the Stu­dent and class councils has given me the experience to handle the job effectively. If I am elected I will not operate alone, but with the class officers, the class council, and the class itself in presenting our views," he said.

Mark Pisano

Mark Pisano comes from San Jose, California and Bellarmine Prep. During his first year at Georgetown he has participated in the CCD, the HOY A staff, the His­tory Club, and cross country.

Pisano summed up his platform as: "I believe that active participa­tion of each member of the class :wPI ease the apathy here at Georgetown. Some of the specific ways of promoting this action will be by regular corridor meetings and by developing the committees for next year. As official repre­sentative of the sophomore class I will direct our ideas to the people who will best be able to help us."

Drew Valentine

Drew Valentine comes to George­town from Short Hills, New J er­sey, and Delbarton High School. His activities this year have been concentrated on the frosh baseball team. With regards to his concep­tion of the presidency he said, "I believe that a president when elect­ed should do most of the work

Gala Spring Weekend Headline Social Siale

This year's welcome to the warm weather known among students as the Spring Weekend, and among the committee members as the Blue-Grey Weekend, will take place on May 5 and 6.

As the official title suggests, the theme of the proceedings will be the Civil War Centennial, and in addition to other diversions will feature a pro­gram of Civil War commem­orations, to be followed by the annual Military Day proceed­ings, on Saturday afternoon.

The committee has given its assurance that this part of the program will not interfere with the aspirations of ROTC cadets to sail the Potomac that afternoon: Dr. Ruby has said that the main part of the ceremonies will be over by 2:00, and ROTC officials say that their maneuvers will take no more than an hour.

The festivities will begin with a formal dance in McDonough Gymnasium from 9 :00 till 1 :00 on Friday night. Billy May's orches­tra, under the direction of Frank Lester, will be featured. Refresh­ments will be available. 'The usual permissions will be granted from the local girls' schools.

A Potomac cruise on the 8.8. Mount Vernon will leave the dock at Maine Avenue at approximately

4 :00 p.m. on Saturday and will re­turn by about 6:30. Beverages will be served, and a five-piece rock and roll combo known as the Bad Boys will provide the rhythm.

Tickets for the weekend will sell for $10.00, and will be on sale in the Dining Hall. Some doubt re­mains as to whether split tickets will be available.

Co-chairmen of the annual event are sophomores Joe Cavanaugh and Paul Sullivan. Other members of the committee include Pat Woomer, decorations; and Doug Doherty, fi­nances; as well as Jim Chandler, Hugh Long, John Brough, Ron Mc­Donough, John McGuire, Mike Gramling, Frank Bruffey, Kevin Leary, Tony Sadlak, Al Meyer, Jim Raymond, Tom McNamara, and Steve Lo Re.

Co-chairman Sullivan expresses his hopes "that everyone who can will make it to the Weekend. It will be a fine affair, and with all the work that the committee has done, everyone should have a great time."

(Author of "1 Was a Teen-age Dwarf," "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis," etc.)

A ROBE BY ANY OTHER NAME As Commencement Day draws near, the question on everyone's lips is: "How did the different disciplines come to be marked by academic robes with hoods of different colors?" Everybody­but everybody-is asking it. I mean I haven't been able to walk ten feet on any campus in America without somebody grabs my elbow and says, "How did the different disciplines come to be marked by academic robes with hoods of different colors, hey?"

This, I must say, is not the usual question asked by collegians who grab my elbow. Usually they say, "Hey, Shorty, got a Marlboro?" And this is right and proper. After all, are they not collegians, and, therefore, the nation's leaders in intelligence and discernment? And do not intelligence and discernment de-mand the tastiest in tobacco flavor and smoking pleasure? And does not Marlboro deliver a flavor that is uniquely mellow, a selectrate filter that is easy drawing, a pack that is soft, a box that is hard? You know it!

But I digress. Back to the colored hoods of academic robes. A doctor of philosophy wears blue, a doctor of medicine wears green, a master of arts wears white, a doctor of humanities wears crimson, a master of library science wears lemon yellow. Why? Why, for example, should a master of library science wear lemon yellow?

Well sir, to answer this vexing question, we must go back to March 29, 1844. On that date the first public library in the United States was established by Ulric Sigafoos. All of Mr. Sigafoos'S neighbors were of course wildly grateful-all, that is, except Wrex Todhunter.

Mr. Todhunter had hated Mr. Sigafoos since 1822 when both men had wooed the beauteous Melanie Zitt and Melanie had chosen Mr. Sigafoos because she was mad for dancing and Mr. Sigafoos knew aU the latest steps, like the Missouri Compromise Mambo, the Shay's Rebellion Schottische, and the James K. Polk Polka, while Mr. Todhunter, alas, could not dance at all owing to a wound he had received at the Battle of New Orleans. (He was struck by a falling praline.)

Consumed with jealousy at the success of Mr. Sigafoos's library, Mr. Todhunter resolved to open a competing library. This he did, but he lured not a single patron away from Mr. Sigafoos. "What has Mr. Sigafoos got that I haven't got?" Mr. Todhunter kept asking himself, and finally the answer came to him: books.

So Mr. Todhunter stocked his library with lots of dandy books and soon he was doing more business than his hated rival. But Mr. Sigafoos struck back. To regain his clientele, he began serving tea free of charge at his library every afternoon. There­upon, Mr. Todhunter, not to be outdone, began serving tea with sugar. Thereupon, Mr. Sigafoos began serving tea with sugar and cream. Thereupon, Mr. Todhunter began serving tea with sugar and cream and lemon.

This, of course, clinched the victory for Mr. Todhunter be­cause he had the only lemon tree in town-in fact, in the entire state of North Dakota-and since that day lemon yellow has of course been the color on the academic robes of library science.

(Incidentally, the defeated Mr. Sigafoos packed up his library and moved to California where, alas, he failed once more. There were, to be sure, plenty of lemons to serve with his tea, but, alas, there was no cream because the cow was not introduced to California until 1931 by John Wayne.) © 1961 Max Shulman

Young Dems Present Rhode Island Senator

New IRe Officers To Resume Series

On Wednesday eve n i n g, April 19, the International Relations Club held its annual election for officers. The office of president had been award­ed to Peter Handal in an elec­tion two months previous.

This evening at 9 :00 p.m., the Young Democrats Club of Georgetown University presents a lecture by Senator Claiborn Pell, the newly elected Democratic Senator from Rhode Island. The lecture, which will be held in Copley Lounge, will center upon a consideration of Foreign Re­lations and Diplomatic Affairs of the United States. Elected to the post of vice pres­

ident was Michael Rock, a soph­omore from Wilder, Vermont. He attended Rice High School and is currently a member of Eta Sigma Phi and the Literary Club.

Senator Pell was elected in the last Congressional Elec- Law Boa rd Tests tions to succeed the former Senator Theodore Green.

this tradition, and has served as Consultant to the Democratic N a­tional Committee since 1953. He also was Administrative Assistant to the Rhode Island Democratic State Chairman in both 1952 and 1954.

Senator Pell was also a combat veteran of World War II, and rose to the rank of lieutenant in the Coast Guard by the war's end. Presently he is a commander in the United States Coast Guard Re­serve.

His other jobs have included service on the American Immigra­tion Boards, as well as being a Special Assistant at the 1945 San Francisco United Nations Confer­ence. In addition, he has served as an officer in the American For­eign Service and State Depart­ments for seven years.

A major change in the Law Boards test has recently been announced by the Educational Testing Service. These alter­ations, made with the aim of broadening the liberal arts, add two sections to the exam.

Thomas Quinn, who is from Men­lo, California, and attended Bel­larmine College Prep in San Jose, received the office of secretary. Tom is presently a member of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and plans to receive his AB de-

in Philadelphia, and was graduated from LaSalle College High School.

At Georgetown, he has been a member of the JV and freshman crew teams, but his main activity has been president of his class during the present year.

As a candidate for next year, he had this to say about his platform: "I'm running on my record of the past year, and my projections for the responsibilities we will take as juniors. The platform leaves much unsaid; it gives a framework for my general ideas on the running of the class. The important thing is how I will handle the many un­expected developments that crop up during the course of the year."

Another candidate for the office of vice president of the Class of '63 is Joe Cavanaugh, an AB gov­ernment major. Cavanaugh comes to Georgetown from Hamburg, New York, a suburb of Buffalo, and attended Bishop Timon High School in Buffalo. Among other extra-curricular activities here, he has served as a member of the Law Club Steering Committee.

Cavanaugh's major activities have been in the campus political field, however. In his freshman year, he was elected Student Coun­cil Rep, and this year he was ap­pointed Co-chairman of the Spring Weekend Committee.

The main planks of his platform are a serious evaluation of the position of vice president, a sense of the responsibility that goes with that job, and an intention to do "the best job I can."

Al Meyer, an AB economics ma­jor who served on the Class Coun­cil last year and is currently on the Spring Weekend Committee, is

seeking the vice presidency of the sophomore class. In his platform he proposes measures "to soothe the tensions that exist among the students, the Faculty and the Ad­ministration; to improve the effi­ciency of the Class Council; and to co-ordinate a well-rounded social program, with an extension of the present format." Meyer is a na­tive of Richmond, Virginia.

Another candidate for vice president is Randy Huston. Huston comes from Los Angeles, and was graduated from Loyola High School in that city. He is presently an AB (Honors) philosophy major, participating in the Phdlodemic Society and the Law Club, and serving on the Sophomore Class Council. As vice president, he prom­ises to "attempt to put the class back into control of class politics."

Student Council Representative

A candidate for Student Council representative is Marshall Fitz, who came to the Hilltop from Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Missouri. An Honors pre­med philosophy major, Fitz has been active in The HOY A, the Gaston-White Debating Society, the Hazing Committee, and served on this year's sophomore class council.

Kenneth Judy, an AB (Classical) English major from Passaic, New Jersey, is campaigning for student Council Representative for the sophomore class. "The platform for a Student Council representa­tive should be composed by his class," he tells the sophomores-"I shall have spoken to all of you and listened to your ideas and desires."

Secretary

Bidding for the officer of secre­tary of the junior class is Dave Crosby, an AB (Honors) govern­ment major from McNicholas High School in Cincinnati. Crosby is a member of the Glee Club and the Young Republicans, and promises to run "a very relaxed campaign."

A graduate of Fordham Prep and a resident of New York City is Joe Fallon, candidate for the office of secretary. At Georgetown he has worked for the Philodemic Society and The HOY A, and was elected Student Council rep of the Class of '63 last May.

Paul Mahota's campaign for class secretary is based on a need for

Thursday, April 27, 1961

greater communication between class members. Mahota, an AB philosophy major from Mayfield, New York, has spent two years on the Varsity Rifle team, is on the Sophomore Social Calendar Com­mittee, and has served on the Class Council for the previous year.

Clint Vickers, an AB philosophy major from Babylon, New York, insists on constructive criticism as a major function of the class secre­tary. Vickers has been active in the Gaston-White Society, the Phil­odemic Society, and the intramural program.

Treasurer Carl Buhr sees a need for what

he calls "moving money" in the class treasury-a higher balance, more loans and other financial work. Buhr is an AB economics major and a member of the Sailing Association, in which he is fleet (team) captain; last year he was frosh captain. He is from Manhas­set, New York.

Steve LoRe is a resident of New York City and a graduate of Brook­lyn Prep. He is presently enrolled in the BS pre-med course. Among the activities in which he has par­ticipated is the Blue-Gray Week­end committee. His platform calls for a program of sound financial expenditures.

Jeff Witte, an AB (Classical) pre-med student and candidate for the office of treasurer of the Class of '63, lives in Alma, Michigan, and attended Sacred Heart Semi­nary in Detroit. He cites his serv­ice on the financial committee of his class council as qualification for the job he seeks.

Boston Club The Boston Club on campus has

recently announced plans to re­organize its activities on a more active scale.

BilI Fitzgerald, a resident of Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts, and president of the clUb, expresses the hope that the club may be able to resume its former schedule of programs .

Among these activities have been the chartering of flights to Boston and the organization of holiday dances. An students from the met­ropolitan area of Boston are eligi­ble for membership in the club.

Macke's Knife by

"Isn't it a little cold and late for you to be down here barefoot and in your pajamas?" asked Mackie the Macke machine, as Charlie Shriver entered the robot room.

"I snuck out after check because I was hungry," said Charlie, "Guess what, I just got my date for the Spring Weekend-and it's Gwenny Gunn!"

"Oh, she finally accepted a date from you, huh, Charlie? Must've wanted to go to the Spring Weekend awful bad," chided Maxie. .

"Oh, no," insisted Charlie, "it wasn't she wanted to go to the Sprmg Weekend. She wanted to go out with me. She sounded very glad to hear from me for once."

"I see," said Maxie. "Hey, Charlie ... " "And so what I think we'll-" "Sssssh!" hushed Maxie, "isn't that your prefect out there by the

something! I can't get campused for Spring Weekend!" "Hide behind me, Charlie," said Maxie, "I think there's room enough

back there if you can squeeze through between the cigarette machine and myself. That's it."

"Maxie, I'm stuck!" cried Charlie. "Squeeze, Charlie, suck in your stomach!" "There," said Charlie, "I made it, did my prefect see me?" "No, he's still out there," Maxie whispered, "He's .coming, though." "Maxie!" Charlie choked from behind the Macke machine, "There's

a spider on my foot. They're running all over my feet!" "Be quiet, Charlie, your prefect's coming." "Maxie, I can't stand it back here, they're crawling up my legs,

I think." "Ssssh!" whispered Maxie, "he's right in front of me." All of a sudden, Charlie's prefect fell back in horror as a human

body wearing green and red striped pajamas shot out from between the two robot machines with an unholy cry, and fell into a pile at his feet.

"I give up, I give up," Charlie sobbed, "You can take Gwenny Gunn to the Spring Weekend. Only get the spiders off me, get the spiders off me!"

"Holy Moses," gasped the prefect, "This freshman has the D.T.'s!" "You mean there aren't any spiders on me?" laughed Charlie,

"It was just my imagination?" "You're all right," laughed his prefect, "but you're not supposed

to be down here. Get up to bed before I campus you." "Thanks", said Charlie, as he started to scamper out of the robot

room. "Oh, Shriver," his prefect called after him. "Yes'!" "What were you standing back there for? Say, you haven't dis­

covered a way to beat the Macke machines by any chance, have you?" "Well, not exactly," said Charlie, "I just figure, if you can't

beat 'em, join 'em." "Good night," laughed his prefect.

CURRENT CONFLICTS (Continued from page 2)

Page Nine

Some very small or very poor countries (such as those in Central America or some of the new African states) can only support some­thing even less formidable--a militarized police force. Although na­tional pride dictates that all national armed forces be called "armies," the actual limitations of national power are set today by the facts of technological complexity and economic strength or weakness. Because this is the case, the addition of a few score obsolescent T-34 tanks or MIG aircraft (or Sherman tanks and B-26 light bombers no less obsoles­cent) will not radically increase the actual military strength of any of the recipient nations.

No small underdeveloped nation in Asia, Africa, or Latin America has the trained personnel to man modern equipment, the logistic capa· city to keep it operational, or the experience to use it correctly. Further all stocks of spares, replacements, reserve ammunition, etc., must come from distant bases (e.g., from Odessa to Havana or San Francisco to Laos) over lines of communication that could easily be closed off or disrupted. Finally, tanks and jets are relatively useless in either waging or combatting guerilla warfare, the type of warfare most prevalent in the underdeveloped areas of the world today, and, in the hands of many of these small countries, would be useless in stopping a large scale aggression by virtue of either the obsolescence and limited amount of the equipment provided or its inept handing by native forces.

A few examples from recent history should make the point a little clearer. In October and November, 1956, an Egyptian Army, superior in numbers and equipment, was routed in the Sinai Peninsula by the Israeli Army. Bad leadership and the inability of the Egyptian troops to handle Soviet heavy equipment seem to have been the principal causes of Nasser's defeat.

The Iman of Yemen has been equipped with T·34 tanks, armored cars, artillery, etc., by the Russians, yet his ability to develop an of­fensive against the British in Aden is no greater now, it would seem, than before. The reason is simply that given the terrain of the area and the level of development in Yemen the equipment is useless.

Finally, South Vietnam has an army bountifully supplied with American heavy equipment as does the Royal Laotian Army. Yet South Vietnam is unable to stamp out Communist terrorism and the Royal Laotian Army has proved to be something less than first class, to say the least.

Does Military'Aid Serve a Purpose?

There is no doubt that the possession of tanks, heavy artillery, jets, etc., enhances the prestige of a regime in the eyes of its own citizens and aids a government to a certain extent in preserving order. An obsolete tank can still crush a riot.

The donation of such equipment to a country by one of the Great Powers is a visible symbol of the friendship of the Great Power for that country, and thus tends both to bolster the prestige and power of the recipient and to warn others that th& country has a protector in the ranks of the militarily powerful.

On the debit side, however, the possession of such equipment might, by giving a small power a disproportionate image of its own strength, lead it to take risks it would have otherwise avoided. It may also mis­lead the donating power, eventually, into a false estimate of the ability of the small power to defend itself, as it seems happened in Laos. In either case a dangerous situation will result.

Conclusion

We have of course no control over Russia's policy of distributing T-34's and MIG's with an open hand. But we can and should realize that such aid does not in the long run really strengthen such powers as Cuba. The failure of the recent invasion was due more, it seems, to the numerical weakness and faulty co-ordination of the invaders than to Castro's strength.

In our own military aid programs it would seem better to con­centrate on what small, underdeveloped countries need (anti-guerrilla capacity} and can afford (small, lightly equipped "internal security" forces) than to burden them with equipment they can neither maintain nor use.

the himself and not delegate it to com­mittees.

Moreover, it is student initiated and will be student-run. Then too, the Administration says that "priv­ilege follows responsibility," and if we can prove our ability to safe­guard the academic integrity of the student body, we would hope that the privileges which we ask will be more readily granted. . . .

There is also the very practical advantage of actual academic in­tegrity rather than the present theoretical type. How many stu­dents do you know who are getting through Georgetown by guile ra­ther than honest effort? It is our feeling that an Honor Code would eliminate much of this problem ....

If you feel as though you would like the prestige, responsibilities, and advantages which would fol­low in the wake of an honor code then defend it and support it this Thursday. For only if an over­whelming majority of the student body support this code can we hope to see its acceptance as the Honor Code of Georgetown College. MICHAEL McALLISTER

Secretary of the Yard CHARLES MATTHEWS

President of the Senior Class Student-Faculty Relations Committee Chairman

WILLIAM WERWAISS President of the Mask & Bauble

To The Editor: The question of an Honor Code

has arisen, and with it has re­turned the old issue of Student· Administration relations. Taken as a whole, the problem is not simple, but each student should make an effort to understand it and come to a decision, for not only is the Code itself on trial; so also is the Student Body. Will it arise from its apathetic condition to make a choice?

The Code is by now familiar to most students. Let us first remove some of the obscuring arguments that have been offered in support of it, and then we will turn to the Code itself. Mr. McAllister, one of the authors of the Code, exhorted the Student Council to approve this measure because it constitutes positive leadership inasmuch as it is an ultimatum to the Adminis­tration. Now I have been person­nally exhorting the Student Coun· cil to exert positive leadership, but I have always maintained that this leadership should be responsible ...

I have two reasons to hope this Honor Code will be defeated. The first is rather simple. r do not be· lieve in this kind of system because I am not my b1'other's keeper. It is not my responsibility to see that my fellow student does not cheat in class, and I refuse to be put on my honor to see that he doesn't.

I recognize that other persons might be opposed to a "check" Honor System. However, I believe that these persons should also op­pose the present Code as approved by the Council. It is a poor example of such a system. It is a shoddy, hastily done job. Other schools' systems are claimed as the pattern for this one. We should keep in mind, however, that when the Pres­ident of the Student Body of Trin· ity and the Lieutenant represent­ing West Point were here they were both asked direct questions whether a check system could func­tion in a school without an effective Student Government, and both an­swered emphatically no. Yet when amendments were offered to give the Honor Board power, such as making its decisions binding, the Council voted them down. . . .

In closing, let me just say that this is not an Honor System. It is merely a policing system, meant to more effectively enforce an already existing law. I maintain that the enforcement of this law is sup­posed to be handled by the Faculty and not by the students. CHRISTOPHER K. HANKINSON Editor The Georgetown College Journal

"In the past committees have been formed for practically every­thing and generally get nothing done. I believe in a realistic pro· gram and if elected hope to carry out this program basically through my own efforts."

by Da,ve Bickers Because of the severe weather this past winter, the

Polo team has encountered a great deal of difficulty in get­ting their season under way. J'erry Shields, president of the club last year, has negotiated a contract with Wood­lawn Plantation for this season's matches but because of the wet weather, the field has been unplayable.

The Hoyas face American Uni­versity at home this Saturday as part of the Parents' Weekend pro­gram.

The team was scheduled to open the season Saturday against UVa at Woodlawn but the field is not yet ready for play and probably won't be for at least 10 days.

Despite this setback, however, Shields announced a match June 4 with Fort Belvoir at Woodlawn to coincide with the graduation festivities. Plans are also in the offing for a polo game-party at Potomac, Md., Friday, May 26 after exams.

Before Easter, the team held a meeting at which new officers were elected. Shields stepped down as president in order to give the new men experience in handling the affairs of the club. The new officers include: Charlie Sarkis, President; Carlos Rizo-Patron, Captain; Jack McNamara, General Manager.

Tryouts were held late last month and some of the new pros­pects look very good according to Shields. Since the team will lose two of its best players, in Shields and Mike Duval, to gradUation, the need for good players this autumn cannot be overlooked.

The club has been practicing very hard since before Easter and the outlook appears excellent for the spring and the opener on Sat­urday should prove a good yard­stick.

Bartos Picked For Athlete Of Week

Hoya hurler Frank Bartos has been named this week's WGTB Athlete of the Week. Despite the Hoyas' disappointing loss to Cath­olic U., Bartos pitched a beautiful contest by walking one and striking out seven, before being relieved after eight and one-third innings. Bartos was only in trouble once, and that was no fault of his own, as faulty fielding in the fatal ninth frame led to his removal by Coach Tom Nolan.

Bartos carried a 3-1 lead into the eighth, gave up an unearned run there, but still went into the final inning with a one run lead only to see that disappear as he watched from the bench, barely missing a chance to become the first Hoya pitcher to go a full game all season.

The Baltimore Orioles will win the American League pennant, we think. The Birds eased themselves into second place last year and almost unseated the Yankee's in the last games of the season. Baltimore has no pitching problems, thanks to Hoyt Wilhelm, Hector Brown, Milt Pappas, Steve Barber and Chuck Estrada. Mixing the old with the new seems to be manager Paul Richards' policy, as he relies heavily on rookies ,such as Estrada, Breeding and Ron Hansen but balances it off with older players such as .Tackie Brandt, Brooks Robinson, and Wilhelm. The only place the Orioles are hurting is in outfield slugging power. Richards needs a couple more pounders for strength but has enough now to slip away with the pennant.

There are two reasons why we put the New York Yankees in second place. Firstly, the Yankees have lost Casey Stengel whose indomitable spirit was undoubtedly a major factor behind their seven World Championships in the last twelve years. Stengal's replacement, Ralph Houk, may be good, but we think it will take him a season or two to get the mighty Yankees back to the top. The second Teason for the Yankee's slip to second in our book is their questionable pitching staff. Whitey Ford, Art Ditmar, and Jim Coates lead the moundsmen, but each had his letdown last season and can't be expected to perform much better with a new manager. On the credit side of the Yankees ledger is the hitting power. The blasting combination of Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Bill Skowron will prove the downfall of many a weaker team.

In the third place we guess the Chicago White Sox. Defensively, the Chisox probably are close to the best in th~ league. The shortstop­second combination of Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio should be even better this year and the infield was further strengthened with the acquisition of Roy Seivers, the former Senator first baseman. White Sox hitting is above average and wen distributed, but there is a glaring weakness in pitching strength. Early Wynn is getting old and won't be able to carry the team much longer, and the younger members of the staff have never risen above mediocrity.

In fourth place, we put the Minneapolis, St. Paul Twins. The Twin Cities team has come up with a lot of surprises in the opening weeks of the season. The hitting of Harmon Killebrew, Jim Lemon, and Lenny Green is no surprise and should keep up all season. The Twins are almost universally underrated, we think. Pitchers Chuck Stobbs, Camilo Pascual, and Pedro Ramos will have to do better than last year to put the Twins in the first division, but judging from the team's position in the present standings, the Twins may play the role of spoilers this year.

In the bottom of the first division we put the Cleveland Indians. Cleveland's Tribe will probably stay out of the hospital more this year and do better. Jim Perry, Gary Bell, .Tim Grant, and newly traded Johnny Antonelli win get the nods as the first-string pitching staff. If the Indian's rookies come through, they may well finish even higher. Holdovers who also might help the Tribe regain much lost prestige are first-baseman Vic Power, rookie third-baseman Mike De La Hoz, catcher John Romano and outfielder Francona.

The Detroit Tigers will probably lead the second division. Last year the Tigers were on the bottom when the team hitting percentages were compiled, but this year the law of averages is in their favor. Behind the pitching of Jim Bunning and Frank Lary comes the potential hitting of AI KaIine, Rocky Colavito, and Charlie Maxwell. Billy Bruton is a new addition in the outfield who might led a hand. All in all, Tiger strength is pretty sketchy but is still strong enough, at least in experience, to put them over the new Senators and Angels.

The Boston Red Sox are our choice for seventh place. The Red Sox attack is almost entirely built around their ageing hitting power. Jackie Jensen is returning but can't carry the team alone. Pete Runnels and Vic Wertz are the two other pounders who win keep Boston in con­tention. Mike Fornieles is probably the best pitcher on the Boston Staff but hasn't got much backing in the bullpen.

When we get down to picking between the Kansas City Athletics, the new Washington Senators and the even newer Los Angeles Angels, it is like splitting hairs. The Nats, we think, will surprise the experi­enced Athletics and finish right under Boston. Senator pitching ranges from fair to good depending upon the occasion and the "big-sticks," Gene Woodling and Dale Long, bear watching. The A's have often been accused of being a Yankee farm team and can't be expected to finish much better. Norm Sieburn and Hank Bauer are the big hitters in Kansas City but they are about all that is "big" out there. Lastly, we predict the Los Angels Angels will finish tenth. The Angels have the talent in Ted Kluszewski, Eddie Yost, and Ned Garver but we think it will take them a Season or three to adjust to their new environs and claw their way up from the bottom of the pile.

Trackmen Second To Fordham Rams

The Royas were led by J o}m Reilly last Saturday as they spent seventeen minutes and forty-one seconds of the afternoon chasing Fordham around the Randalls Island track at the Queens-Iona Relays.

The title of the event was the four-mile relay, which breaks down to a mile a man and" thus can take a considerable amount of time to run off. Be that as it may, Georgetown finished second to the Rams by about fifteen yards, and in front of Manhattan by aboi.1t twenty.

.Jack Hurson got the Hoyas off fairly well, but the Fordham sec­ond and third legs opened up a lead _'''''~~''''';J~~'"'''''''~'' ...... ~~~/.u.>;...,. ...

Rutgers Falls Prey To GU Tennismen

The Hilltop Tennismen traveled north last weekend for matches with Rutg'ers and the University of Pennsylvania. After dumping Rutg'ers 9-0, the Hoyas lost to Penn by one match, 5-4.

The Rutgers tilt wasn't even close as the Hoya racketmen pick­ed up victories in every match. Kit played in the number one slot and was followed by Tom Clare, Ron Connolly, Bill McConlogue, .Jim Schreier and Walt Berberich in descending slots. .John Wolf and McConlogue constituted the first doubles team. Second and third doubles teams were made up of Bob Ruzanic and Mike Quinlan and Ron Connolly and Chris Con­nolly, respectively.

In the Penn match, Kit lost in three sets, Clare won and Ron Connolly lost in 3 sets. McConlogue lost in three sets, but .Jim Schrier and Walt Berberich kept the Hoyas in contention by both winning their matches in straight sets.

The doubles team of Kit-Wolf emerged victorious as did the com­bination of Fay-Ruzanic. Connolly and Berberich lost their doubles match.

UE9R. n~ .RQOD: DR_ FROOD'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A little learning can be a dangerous thing-especially in a multiple-choice e.'mm.

DEAR DR. FROOD: I have calculated that if the population expiosion continues at its present rate, there will be a person for every square foot of earth by the year 2088. What do you think of that?

Statistics Major

DEAR STATISTICS: Well, one thing's sure, that will finish off the hula­hoopers-once and for all.

......

DEAR DR. FROOD: have been training our college mascot, a goat. He has learned how to open a pack of Luckies, take out a cigarette, light up and smoke. Do you think I can get him on a TV show?

Animal Husbandry Major

DEAR ANIMAL: I'm afraid not. To make TV now­adays, you've got to have an ad that's really different. After all, there are millions of Lucky smokers.

DEAR DR. FROOD: I am a full professor-and yet I stay awake nights worrying about my abil­ity to teach today's bright young college stu­dents. They ask questions I can't answer. They write essays I don't understand. They use com­plicated words that I've never heard before. How can I possibly hope to win the respect of students who are more learned than I am?

Professor

DEAR PROFESSOR: I always maintain that noth­ing impresses a troublesome student like the sharp slap of a ruler across his outstretched palm.

DEAR DR. FROOD: You can tell your readers for me that college is a waste of time. My friends who didn't go to college are making good money now. And me, with my new diploma? I'm making peanuts!

DEAR DR. FROOD: Could you give a word of advice to a poor girl who, after four years at

DEAR ANGRY: Yes, but how many of your friends can do what you can do-instantly satisfy that overpowering craving for a peanut.

Miss Miserable

DEAR MISS: Mask?

THE RECRUITERS ARE COMING! THE RECRUITERS ARE COMING! And here's Frood to tell you just how to handle them: These representatives of big business are, on the whole, alert fellows. They may be aware that college students smoke more Luckies than any other regular. Let them know that you know what's up-offer them a Lucky, then tap your cranium knowingly. Remember-today's Lucky smoker could be tomorrow's Chairman of the Board.
