Board Appointees To Assunze Posts In July

Father Campbell addresses Founders Day Commemoration.

by George Basler The addition of laymen to the

University Board of Directors, and a grant from the federal government for the construction of a new law center were announced by Father Gerard J. Campbell, President of Georgetown, at the Third Annual Founder's Day Commemoration.

An explanation of the new Board of Directors took up most of the long speech.

Fr. Campbell pointed out that this addition, which goes into effect on July 1, is the second major change in the University's governing board in the last six months.

Fall Theology To Have Non-Catholic Teachers

by Paul J. Guclel Georgetown's Theology Depart

ment will have four new nonCatholic teachers next September. The four will be David J. Robb, James Thomason, Rabbi A. Nathan Abramowitz and Rabbi Albert Silverman.

David J. Robb is a 1961 graduate of Yale College with a major in English literatUl·e. He received his B.D. from Union Theological Seminary in 1965 and since last summer has been assistant to the Pastor of the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Washington. Prof. Robb will teach a course on the theology of Paul Tillich.

graduated in 1950 with honors from The Johns Hopkins University, where he was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa. He did graduate work at The Jewish Theological Seminary of America, the only seminary for conservative rabbis in this country. In addition to his Rabbinical ordination, he also was awarded the Master of Hebrew Literature Degree. Rabbi Abramowitz is now with the Tifereth Israel Congregation in Washington. Next September, he will teach a course entitled "Judaism," which will be a survey of the development of the Jewish religion from Genesis to its contemporary significance.

Oral Comprehensives Evaluated By Seniors

by Glenn Weilancl The furor over oral comprehen

sive testing in the School of Foreign Service has become more organized with the introduction of a senior class questionnaire concerning the comps. The 146 seniors who have taken the comps so far answered questions concerning the manner and amount of preparation for the tests, relevance of test questions to course material, and the effect of tension and nervousness on performance in the comps.

dents. Once the evaluations have been made, a meeting will be held to determine a suitable course of action. The committee will report their findings to Fr. Joseph S.

(Continued on page 12)

Father Campbell emphasized, "This is not a sudden decision and it has nothing to do with the decisions made by any other school. The fact that others are doing as we will be doing simply indicates that many of us are aware of the same problems and their possible solutions."

Father Campbell continued that the only basis of criterion for a Director of Georgetown is not wheth


Pateros Quits; No Successor Named As Yet

by Brian O'Connor The office of Vice-President for

Business and Finance is, at this time, vacant. Mr. John J. Pateros proffered his resignation from that position on Wednesday, March 22 for "personal reasons."

The precise causes of Pateros' leaving remain a mystery. The Administration is maintaining a discreet silence and Mr. Pateros said he does not. feel it would be "appropriate" for him to comment.

Numerous members of the Board of Directors refused to comment on the issue.

No replacement has yet been named. Father Joseph A. Haller, S.J., University Treasurer, explained that Georgetown's "financial-management structure" is now undergoing a "reevaluation" by an outside public accounting firm. Fr. Haller said the University finds itself pressured to meet its share of the matching fands provided by federal government grants. Until the Administration receives the accountants' recommendations, it will not consider a replacement for Pateros.

Whether present efforts to streamline the University's cost system have had anything to do with Pateros' resignation is purely speculative.

James Thomason will receive his Ph.D. from Yale Divinity School this June. He will teach a course in the philosophy of Soren Kierkegaard, the great Danish Protestant theologian, and he has also been assigned to a section of the freshman course "Problem of God."

Rabbi A. Nathan Abramowitz

The fourth new member of the Theology Department is Rabbi Albert Silverman, a former teacher at the University of Illinois. Rabbi Silverman is coming to Washington in September to accept a post at American University sponsored by the Washington Hillel Foundation. He will also teach a course at Georgetown entitled "Jewish Life and Thought!'

A committee of eight will evaluate the responses to the questionnaire, which was first circulated several weeks after the comprehensives were administered, and their results are expected to be published about one week before the second round of comps begins. Members of the committee include John McNally, senior Student Council Academic Representative, James Scott, next year's Academic Representative, Art Wallenstein, director of CONTAC, Thomas Brereton, who conducted a similar poll during the summer session, and ;John Tuccillo, James Warkentin and Michael Martus, all S.F.S. seniors.

Criteria for judging the responses are primarily the QPI and the degree of success or failure in the comps of the answering stu-

The way it is celebrated here, it is evident that spring is a Georgetown institution. Where else does this fresh force flow forth to so summon up creativity, productivity, and real confrontation with the nitty-gritty particulars of our sublunary existence.

Witness, for example, this column:

GU Delegates Take Model UN Honors

The International Relations Club sent three delegations to the MidContinental Model United Nations, hosted by the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.

Bob McKenna, Bob Mannix, Russ Sveda, Dick Hayes, Pete Cowhey and Tom N eu represented the Soviet Union in the Security Council, the Political Committees of the General Assembly, and the Economic and Social Council.

Andy Lund, Bob Breiner and Bill Golden represented the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. Pete Shea, Tim Crowley and Dean Curran represented the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. This was the first time that Georgetown had attended this conference, but the record of the Soviet delegation earned a second place plaque and United Nations flag for Georgetown. The Republic of China represented by Yeshiva University of New York won first place.

Among the triumphs of the conference were the election of Bob McKenna as Communist Bloc Chairman, as well as the drafting and passage of several resolutions favorable to the Soviet Union. The first and most important of these was a non-proliferation treaty which would have prevented the formation of the proposed MultiLateral Force, or the transfer of control of nuclear weapons to NATO or West Germany in any form whatsoever.

The draft of the treaty was similar to one proposed by the U.S.S.R. earlier this year which was rejected by the United States. At the conference, the U.S., represented by West Point, co-sponsored

Dips' Ball May 5; Top Stars, VIP's Will Be On Hand

The Diplomat's Ball, sponsored by the East Campus Student Council and the School of Foreign Service, will take place at the International Ballroom of the Washington Hilton, May 5.

This year's host is James Symington, U.S. Chief of Protocol. Louis Armstrong and Fred Perry's Glenn Miller Orchestra will provide the entertainment. Saturday night's program will feature Petula Clark and Jerry Lee Lewis in a night club motif, also at the International Ballroom. Tickets, at $23 for the weekend, will be sold in the Walsh Lobby, New South Cafeteria, and at the Stump.

the resolution embodying the treaty with the U.S.S.R. and spoke in favor of it.

In another major move, the Assembly expelled Nationalist China and seated the People's Republic of China, both in the Assembly and as a permanent member of the Security Council. The Assembly strongly rejected a motion that the issue should be made an important question (thus requiring a % majority for passage), and then proceeded to seat Red China by a substantial majority vote (though not %).

These important resolutions were passed on the floor of the General Assembly, to which all delegates adjourned on the final day of the Conference. Much of the work which led to these triumphs of Soviet foreign policy was done in the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and the four Political Committees.

In the Security Council, Bob McKenna vetoed eight parts of a nine part resolution on Viet Nam, leaving only a statement that all nations concerned should love their fellow men. This somewhat pointless resolution was never deemed worth considering by the General Assembly, and the Soviet objective of keeping Viet Nam off the agenda was achieved.

Bob Mannix and his Ukrainian comrade, Pete Shea, mustered support against seven resolutions on the admission of Red China in order to insure that only their resolution would reach the Assembly. This they did in spite of a China-led mass walk-out attempting to prevent the reaching of a quorum.

The non-proliferation treaty was negotiated in committee by Russ Sveda, Andy Lund and Dean Curran.

ELLEN CANEPA

GUNS In Favor Of 'Broader Attitude' Towards Unification

Citing a "broader attitude towards unification" in the University Class of 1969, Miss Honey Lynch, newly chosen presidentelect of the Nursing School Student Council, has adopted an optimistic attitude toward campus unification during her term of office.

Miss Lynch considers a "unity of goals" to be the most necessary requirement to unification, and said she considers unification to be a definite asset in terms of efficiency and "money power." Miss Lynch will use this coming year "to become acquainted with intracampus councils and prepare for the year to come," in which she will continue the somewhat traditional role of campus mediator played by the President of the Nursing School Student Council.

Miss Recie Checchio, next year's Nursing School Student Council vice president, has expressed a desire to "try to get the Nursing School to become more recognized as a part of the University via social influence."

As vice president, Miss Checchio is the nursing students' representative to the Social and Calendar Committee. She stated a desire for involvement to social functions which, until now, have been cooperative efforts of the East Campus and Yard.

This could, she hopes, be accomplished by helping in the planning and "getting in on the budget, even if in a limited way."

Miss Checchio considers that the biggest problem with Nursing School social events and lack of University-wide participation to be a lack of publicity.

Installation of Miss Lynch and Miss Checchio, as well as of Sue Dorney and Eileen McGrath, elected secretary and treasurer respectively, will take place at a dinner for nursing students on Darnall patio.

The Diplomatic Corps and all freshman Senators have been invited to the event, and Miss Georgetown (1967-68) will reign as queen for the whole weekend.

Dave Bochnowski (SFS '67) and John Platt (Col. '69) are chairman and publicity chairman respectively.

'Go-Go Mass' Action Of Local Catholics

by Louis Jurika The controversial Mass celebrated

in St. William's Chapel last month, reported to be under the direction of Father Richard McSorley, S.J., was actually a special program initiated by a group of Catholics in Washington as an experiment in liturgical renewal and total participation in the Mass. The project is being observed by the Liturgical Commission here at Georgetown.

It seems that a rapidly growing

FOCUS, under the sponsorship of Keven McKenna and the W.A.S.C. seeks "to offer an opportunity for students to meet today's leaders in open dialogue to discuss the forces behind present-day issues," said Jeff Orseck of the' Focus Committee.

Following the discussion, a reception will be held in Palms Lounge, with admission by ticket only. A limited number of these tickets are available in the Deans' offices of both the Business and Foreign Service Schools. Mr. Meany and Mr. Simpkin will be present for further discussion with the public.

contingent of Catholic churchgoers in the Washington area has decided to explore a statement by Vatican Council II which advocates greater participation of people in the liturgy, feeling that the form of the liturgy should flow from the community that forms it as much as possible and thus reflect the spirit of the participants. The participants at this particular mass had chosen St. William's as the meeting place for their non-geographical, floating parish, and had also chosen three celebrants, among them Fr. McSorley. What did draw so much attention to the mass was the use of tambourines, electric guitars, and harmonica, accompanied by the swelling din of everyone's voice. There was, you might say, total participation in the mass.

In talking with Mr. McSorley, he pointed out that this group of churchgoers that assisted in the mass was in no way affected or inspired by any "peace-nik" organizations nor those with any social or civic causes. Also in the crowd at this mass was the chairman of the Liturgical Commission here at Georgetown, his assistant, and the University Chaplain, all of whom were summarily pleased with the observance of the liturgical requirements.

The mass was one of those that is currently being advertised on pink and green flyers around campus that carry the heading, "Where the ACTION is." The hundreds of members that now make up this rapidly-growing and flexible parish have met with some opposition from the Archbishop of Washington, Archbishop O'Boyle, and the parish of St. Ann's, where the whole movement began to introduce a more modern format to the mass.

Dr. Quigley Speaks Out On Basic Flaw-s In Constitution

other three official branches of government have fought for this power. He pointed to examples of Congress trying to move in after Lincoln, the Supreme Court in the 1920's and '30's, and the President today.

Quigley coneluded that the "18th Cen tury theory is dead because today we need speed in decisions and we need to know who exactly is responsible for the decision."

tion of succession, and the judicial system, Quigley said he would be against the Constitutional Convention as proposed by 32 states today. Thirty-four states must request such a convention for it to be called.

"Obsolete as the constitution is, I have greater faith in it than I could in any we could draw up now," he said.

Thursday night. The veteran history professor's

main contention was that America's real problems are at home and all other trouble overseas is rooted in our domestic problems. Behind most of these problems, he feels, are constitution and political dangers resulting from basic flaws in our constitution, "an 18th Century document now obsolete."

"It functions by distortions and intentions of our founding fathers," he continued. "The basic errors are too basic to repair."

Quigley contends that there are not three branches of government as most people believe. Instead, he said there are five branches of government today: the legislative, taxing, police, incorporating, and administrative powers.

The incorporating power, he defined as the power to treat a body of people as a single person.

"These groups are given immortality. I will die someday but Standard Oil will never die."

The graduate of Harvard' then added that the most important power, the administrative one, while it is necessary so that a political unit can survive, is assigned to no one by the constitution. The

Linkletter Exonerates HollytVood Politicians

by Ralph DeFour "I think that entertainers are

human, are citizens, and have a right to take part in the democratic processes of the country." These words by Art Linkletter point out the dominant theme in his speech on "The Entertainer in Politics," delivered here on Wednesday, AprilS.

He warned that people should be very critical of actors-turnedpolitician since they have an edge in looks and popularity, two important factors for a political candidate.

Linkletter also demonstrated that being an actor could, in fact, hurt a person who wanted to run for office. His television image could be that of a "lover-boy," a vilHan, or a clown. This could be

enough to ruin a person's entire political career. Consequently, it has been extremely difficult to find men to play these parts.

Linkletter's speech, which was sponsored by the Gaston Hall Lecture Series, began by. pointing out the traditional reputation of performers. In the past, gypsies, 'streetwalkers, wandering minstrels, drunks, and knaves were associated with this profession. Even today, entertainers have a poor public image because of their high divorce rate as a group.

GUCAPers Go South To Enlist Negro Vote

George Murphy, however, by defeating Pierre Salinger for a seat in the United States Senate from California, "dissipated the legend that actors are irresponsible" and became a landmark in the evolution of ~the actor-politico. Linkletter stated that Murphy did not win solely because of his professional reputation, but because of the fact that he was experienced in government and party politics

by Bill Marion During Easter vacation, ten

members of GUCAP participated in a field project in Mississippi. They had been invited by Mrs. Fanny Lou Hamer of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP) to help break ground for the April 13-July 7 Negro voter registration drive in Sunflower County.

Mr. Robert Jackall, S.J., moderator of GUCAP pointed out that Sunflower County is of political significance because it is the home county of Sen. Eastland (D-Miss.). Sen. Eastland, who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has been able to block federal voter registration of Negroes in Sunflower County. Quite naturally he fears the Negro vote. For the Negroes outnumber the whites two to one and a defeat for him in his home county could have repercussions throughout the state.

In Indianola, the county seat of Sunflower County., and Doddsville GUCAP worked dir!,!ctly with Mrs. Hamer in voter registration. They succeeded in registering 25 out of 400 eligible Negroes.

But in Drew, often described as "toughest town," they had to employ a different strategy. For they were well aware that any previous attempts never succeeded in registering more than 15 Negroes and that many of those registered later withdrew because of fear of violence and economic and social sanctions. Mr. Jackall noted that the effectiveness of these sanctions may be seen when one is aware that Mississippi law requires that the name of anyone who has registered to vote appear in the newspaper for two weeks. Therefore, GUCAP approached Negro families and explained to them the need and importance of registering and voting.

ART LINKLETTER

through his lobbying work for the film industry over a period of ten years.

The lecture now evolved to the question of Ronald Reagan, the former movie star who is now governor of California. Linkletter showed that Reagan had a history of leadership in the film industry, having been President of the Screen Actors' Guild. During this time he showed himself to be a fair arbiter, a good organizer, and an outstanding leader. His strong political convictions prompted him to campaign for Barry Goldwater in 1964, since he too believed in reducing the power of the central government. It was while speaking :for Goldwater that others eame to realize Reagan's political potential.

Linkletter also dropped names of politically oriented actors such as liberals Frank Sinatra and Kirk Douglas and conservative John Wayne, and then said that Chuck Connors, the "Rifleman," may someday seek public office. He followed this surprising statement by adding that Gregory Peck was recommended by Pat Brown to run for the Senate; that Robert Va,.ughn, a political science student, has openly opposed Johnson's Vietnam policy; that Steve Allen

EDITORIALS:

Dear Father Campbell: The purpose 'Of our writing this open letter

is to publicly ask you some pertinent questions with regard to the future of our University. Please accept these in the positive, constructive manner in which they are submitted:

Why, Father, has the University lost tw'O Vice-Presidents-and probably a third-in the last year? Does this reflect a deficient hiring policy or perhaps intolerable working conditions? Why, Father, isn't the life blood of the University, its students, told the facts?

Why, Father, is there a sentiment of general confusion here at Georgetown? Absolutely no positive, forward goals--{)nly rearguard actions to remedy situations 'Of distasteful natures. A quick example here is the Academic Vice-President's rear guard action with regard to the latest tuition rise. All we ask is a goal, something positive.

Why, Father, have you allowed the newly constructed Athletic Board to meet only 'Once since its creation? D'Oesn't the confusion with regard to the football game with Catholic University stand 'as witness to the need for definite policy decisions in the athletic area? Father, we stand ready to help in this, please call on us.

Why, Father, is the University plagued by constant in-fighting and power struggles? This Vice-President criticizes that Vice-Pres-

ident, f'Or doing this or that without authorization. Why aren't people working together? Why can't everyone try collectively?

Why, Father, can't :tJhe students be told the true story 'Of university finances? The general trend is tD ignore the questi'Ons posed by students. Where does the money go? Is there the gross inefficiency in the physical plant that is alleged? If not, why d'On't they take an open positive stand and defend their pDsitions!

Father, we as student leaders would also like to ask you why the Advisory Board 'On which we sit has 'Only met twice this year? How much communication can exist with 'Only one 'Or two meetings per year?

F:ina:1ly, Father, why did the students learn of the move to put lay men on the Board of Directors 'Only through the newspapers? ShQuldn't we have been told sOQner? Doesn't it affect us most?

From alumni to athletics, from maid service to the eXQdus of good faculty members.

Where are we heading Father-And Why aren't the students asked to help? Why, Father? ??

In Praise of an Unsung Hero Father Zeits' job of Director of Student

Personnel must be one of the mQst thankless imaginable. He is constantly under fire from the students, the administration, and the faculty-or anyway, so it seems. Whatever he dQes, there is a loud contingent violently against his move, and m'Ore willing to blast him with their Qpini'Ons.

Perhaps The HOYA has sometimes been guilty of this short-sighted approach, although the majority of our "atta~ks" 'On Father Zeits have been in a very lighthearted vein, and meant to convey no ill will. Though The HOYA has nQt fully agreed with some of Father Zeits' policy decisions, and sometimes felt mQre CQuld have been done in SQme areas, we are quick to agree that he has done a highly commendable job, and that his lQSS could affect Georgetown in a most disastrQus manner.

Few at Georgetown are more concerned with the student and his problems with college life. It is The HOYA's firm contentiQn

that Father Zeits is a man uniquely suited for his task, and should he be replac,ed, the student would in all probability ~uffer the consequences.

At this time, with nebulous rumors 'Of Father Zeits' imminent resignation abounding, The HOY A wishes to praise his many accQmplishments and add that we sincerely hope he will spend many more years at Georgetown doing an equally competent job as Director of the SPO.

Every Mass is, in theory, a celebration of Christ's victory over death, although you could hardly tell this by "participating" in the average Mass said at Georgetown, At the end of Father McSorley's Easter Mass you could have no doubt that the people there were celebrating this victory.

To the Editor: As a graduate who took an ac

tive part in student affairs while at Georgetown, I have been interested by occasional letters to the editor which have been either implicitly or explicitly critical of Fr. Zeits in his official capacity.

While I have no knowledge of the merits or lack thereof of the complaints embodied in these letters (e.g., concerning sizes of refrigerators) and generally appreciate the fact that Georgetown University is endowed with many policies and qualities worthy of the most vociferous complaints by students and faculty alike, I feel that Fr. Zeits' record is one which merits a far larger measure of praise than criticism.

It would appear that Fr. Zeits has been responsible for many of the improvements in student life

which have occurred during the last calendar year. Among other things, it should be noted that today students are permitted liquor in the dormitories, that refrigerators, even if of modest size, are permitted, that no longer are freshmen required to be in their rooms at 8 :45 p.m., and that the University Disciplinary Board no longer meets in Star Chamber to decide the fate of a handful of Hoyas each Friday afternoon. Any current sophomore, junior, or senior can testify that it has not always been thus.

In balance, it would seem that Fr. Zeits has been far more sympathetic to the wants and needs of Georgetown students than most of his associates in the Jesuit community. As long ago as last spring, it was thought that some of those associates would welcome an oppor-

STUDENT UNREST To the Editor:

Contemporary student unrest at the Law School is evidence of the fact that the balance of power in higher education is shifting from a position long tilted in favor of administrations toward a more equilibrium. The movement is due, in part I think, to the notions which educators themselves have nurtured in students as to responsibility in the political sphere; namely, that leaders ought to be answerable for their decisions to those whose lives are intimately affected thereby. Students are insisting, perhaps unconsciously, that the infra-structure dynamics of the two be similar. To borrow from McLuhan, politics, traditionally "cool" has influenced classically "hot" education.

One feels the temperature drop here briskly refreshing. Hopefully, the cool school will cease to be solely a tool school.

McSORLEY'S MASS To the Editor:

While in Washington last week I had the occasion to look through several back issues of The HOYA. In one of them I noticed a "clever" cartoon deriding the Mass celebrated by Father McSorley.

On Easter Sunday I attended the Mass Father McSorley said in Williams ChapeL I've been to many Masses at Georgetown, but never had I been to one which was actually CELEBRATED, as a Mass should be.

Easter Sunday is the most joyous day in the Christian calendar, and that joy was reflected in Father's Mass. The ages of those in the audience ran from 1 to 70, and they were hardly the "beat" types your cartoon depicted. They were there because they WANTED to be, not because they had to be. They were there to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, and that is just what they did, through their songs, their words, and their actions.

A Happening!

I want to thank Father McSorley for the wonderful experience I had at the Mass. I hope that he continues, in spite of the ignorant, uninformed criticism and mocking he is subjected to. And, I hope that more people will go, with open hearts and minds, to share in the brotherhood, community, and joy of his celebration.

PEOPLE'S MASS To the Editor:

Two extreme comments, obviously crude attempts to bait an alleged enemy to debate the "Action" or "Peoples" Mass which is occasionally celebrated at Georgetown, appeared in The HOYA last week. Though the writers are entitled to express their tastes and even annoyances at discovering a group so lively in their participation in worship, their prejudices and unfortunate predispositions have led their expression far beyond both good taste and accuracy.

The "People" who celebrate the Mass folk style include a substantial number of responsible<doctors, attorneys, business and government executives, Georgetown professors-(yea, even Department heads) - and their families, including numerous children, as regular participants in the celebration. I am one of them. Weare a far cry from the beatnik-peacenik caricature your correspondents suggest. In the group from time to time occasionally at least, are a small Catholic-radical peacenik style contingent. The group welcomes them and they feel a part of it because no one is excluded, and after the homily, a dialogue frequently takes place between them and others of more socially conventional persuasion.

The Georgetown authorities present at the Mass in question had nothing but enjoyment and approval to express about it as I recall.

For anyone in doubt as to what prompted your correspondent's outburst, I suggest that they attend the next "Action" Mass. Better still, attend two or three, and you will be hooked. Your friendships will expand. You may even learn to celebrate Mass. Even young fogies can be melted, and become

We invite those not with us to experience and to freely choose our style or remain with whatever else they have available as an alternative. I regard their suggestion that we be suppressed as an outrage. I remind them that Christianity is not a celebration of any particular form of the traditional or previously expressed, but by now confining forms of "Christian life" as it may have been in the past. Christianity is a celebration of life. Today. Now. The "Action" or "Peoples" Mass is one group's effort to celebrate it.

THANKS, G.U. To the Editor:

We would like to take this time to thank Georgetown University and especially the men of the first floor New North Dorm, for being so kind to us during our brief stay in Washington, D. C. during our Easter Vacation.

When we got to Washington, D. C. on March 20 we were tired, hungry and friendless. The men at the New North Dorm gave us a place to stay, gave us their friendship and gave us a wonderful impression of Georgetown students. We will never forget this kindness and if any Georgetown student is ever in Kansas we hope he comes to see us for anything he may want.

Once again, thank you all for being so kind.

DAIRY FARM To the Editor:

It seems that the allegedly decrepit state of this University is for the most part due to the lack of funds. Therefore I suppose that our anger should be directed not at the administration, but rather at the Alumni Association, which has the duty of milking the rich alumni. It is obviously not running an effective dairy farm.

The Spoonful

I have found that most of the candidates for student council offices have similar platforms; that is, they will "unite the student body," and therefore the Administration "will have to listen to us." Perhaps it will listen, but the question is whether it will carry out our demands. I doubt that anything would come to a united student body unless we burned down Healy or desecrated the Jesuit burial ground.

YONDER'S WALL

There is no use in asking the Administration for a change. Therefore, we should go directly to the alumni with an appeal for money. Being former students, they would rather listen to us that to the Administration. An impassioned plea in the form of a mimeographed letter would suffice. Of course, it would have to be a heart-rending explanation of our plight, and it should be very conservative and carry no threat. Mailing costs would be a problem, but if the Yard could collect a dollar from each of the 7,000 students of Georgetown, we could send such a letter to 140,000 alumni (with bulk postage rates). We could even ask the alumni to send their donations to the Yard and not to the Alumni Association; thus we could compare the success of our venture with that of the bureaucracy.

M & B's Theatre Of The Absurd

JACK, OR THE SUBMISSION. By EUgene Ionesco. Produced by the Georgetown Mask and Bauble. At Stage' One.

Midnight is traditionally known as the' bewitching hour. Yet, for those who see the current Mask and Bauble Midnight Theatre production of Eugene Ionesco's Jack, or the. Submission, a better phrase would be "the bewildering hour." Ionesco deals in the theatre of the absurd. His plot complications are totany absurd and the characterization and dialogue borders on the ludicrous. Yet, all this would be uproariously funny if one didn't try to make sense of it. When one tries to do this-and begins to see that it can make sense--one stops laughing and bewilderment becomes aphoria. For those who get migraines easily, it is better to stop at this point, for it is a frustrating process trying to transliterate Ionesco into the realm of the reasonable.

stage and direct it. Louis Pangaro's directio~ is d~ft and ~rof~ssiona!. Directmg thIS play IS lIke directing a three ring circus-there is a dialogue, facial clowning and choreography running simultaneously throughout. Co-ordinating these elements effectively requires great stage sense. Mr. Pangaro does well by the production.

The acting, on the whole, is surprisingly good. Again, there is little continuity of lines to carry an actor through a speech. Yet, few speeches dragged and even the weakest performance rendered was more than passable. There are a few portrayals that deserve mention as outstanding. Candace Lepczyk's fawning, feigning and fleshy Mother Jack is a beautiful job. Katey Doherty looks and sounds the part of all smart and gangly younger sisters and Edmund Day's slouch and oblivious expressions are perfect.

SLOANE SHELTON, GEOFF GARLAND, AND PATRICIA GUINAN IN COWARD'S FUMED OAK.

The plot is about whether a boy who likes hashed brown potatoesor said he did-can find happiness with a girl who has three nosesor said she had. Well, would you believe--whether or not a family who isn't happy can find happiness in a son who isn't happy either? Neither would I.

The actors are heavily made up -some effectively and some overly. Katey Doherty's make-up is perhaps best. Joseph Keller is unfortunately overly made-up. Yet, his great facial clowning shines through all the pancake--and adds much to the production. Theatre: NRT Returns to DC Jack, or the Submission is a highly enjoyable production. It's much easier on the eyes than The Chelsea Girls-for those of you. As for its meaning-Jacqueline says, "A tiger is not a lily. That says it all." Yes, but who nose?

TONIGHT AT 8:30. By Noel Coward. Produced by the National Repertory Theatre. At the National Theatre.

Both in Europe and in America an interesting reappraisal is currently taking place. The plays of Noel Coward, which, until recently, were quickly passed over as hoary entertainments of a bygone era, are again achieving their rightful place in the theatres of the civilized world.

- Currently, the National Repertory Theatre, a hopeful American dream, is presenting three one act plays by Coward under the title Tonight at 8 :30.

The NRT has done some pruning and selected three of the original nine one-acters, which had been presented on three consecutive evenings, to present to the American public an evening of vintage Coward. One could wish that they had included Conversation Piece and that joyous romp, Red Peppers. There is no cause for complaint, however, with their selections, for Ways and Means, Still Life, and Fumed Oak are among the most delightful, revealing, and enervating works of any twentieth century playwright.

Coward's works, by nature, rely for much of their humor on manners and mannerisms. He has a sharp sense of class and he ca:refully portrays this. He is amoral and unconventional-yet there must be many who would empathize with

Henry Gow, the henpecked husband, father, and son-in-law of FU'l1ted Oak; when, after twenty years of marriage, he leaves his home and family quietly saying "Good Night, now. Been nice knowing ya."

Of the three playlets presented at the National Theatre, Ways and Means was the most typically Coward in form and substance. It was set on the Riviera in a splendid home filled with "simply" gorgeous people acting out the fancies of the common herd much to everyone's satisfaction. Nina Foch directed this delicate period piece and found ways to make it valuable for the audience. She was sage enough to restrain the actors' movement, realizing that words are more important to a Coward play that any distracting action could ever hope to be.

Jack Church and Joan Bassie as the perpetual house guests were excellent and deserve all possible plaudits.

Still Life, from which the motion picture Brief Encounter was made, was directed by Jack Sydow who was also responsible for the NRT's superb production of A Touch of the Poet. Unfortunately, Mr. Sydow obviously drained every creative resource he possessed on that production. Still Life was almost still life. The two strands of action which mark the play were each consigned to a distinct section of the stage. Each was given its own set of lights and back-

ground noises. The audience needed only to consult a light meter to discover what was happening. Discernment was impossible.

The NRT is chancing its fragile reputation with such a slipshod production. Denholm Elliott was savagely miscast as Alec Harvey. His vain attempts at worldliness are convincing only of theatricality. Sydow made no attempts to remove the traces of Cornelius Melody's character in A Touch of the Poet from Elliott's role.

Kudos should also be assigned to Mr. Elliott's make-up since it made him resemble a quite conventional pumpkin.

The final playlet of the evening was Fumed Oak. It was obviously the audience's favorite. I make no comment on a Washington audience's taste when it comes to comedy. Sloane Shelton was miraculous as the domineering Mrs. Gow -she has the ability to convey more with a flick of the wrist than could reasonably be hoped for. Geoff Garland is inimitable as the nettled Mr. Gow.

Two hits and a miss add up to a pleasant evening in the Theatre. Coward fulfills his pledge "never to be boring." Proving that all is right with England and the Empire--presumably, therefore, with the world.

A TOUCH OF THE POET. By Eugene O'Neil. Produced by the National Repertory Theatre. At the National Theatre.

young and wealthy Simon, who has been recuperating from a not-tooserious illness at the inn.

The play itself is too pat. Cornelius Melody is hit on the head and drops his very British accent and picks up a brogue. Sara too capriciously sinks to forcing marriage on Simon, and her mother Nora really doesn't seem terribly shocked by her daughter's suddenly worldly ways. The play itself is where we have to make some large reservations on our enthusiasm.

and deranged and aggressive on the other, and ultimately as a Kelly-green purveyor of blarney and whiskey. Priscilla Morrill's Nora was solid and rather sympathetic, with only occasional lapses in clutch-crisis situations. G. Wood's Jamie Cregan was excellent, hovering between sub-noble ease and super-gutter familiarity. The smaller parts were handled with care and success especially Mickey Maloy a som~what lazy barkeep-and Patch Riley who was ~imply excruciating with his singmg and more mellow bagpipes.

A TOUCH OF THE POET-DENHOLM ELLIOT EMBRACES PRISCILLA MORRILL

O'Neill's A Touch of the Poet is a long night's journey into both redemption and fall, into hope and discouragement, into the past and the future. The players-an assortment of family, friends, and barflies, all with their special abnormalities-parade about as a backdrop for Cornelius Melody, a pompous neurotic former major in the British army, a gentleman of no substance, wasting his .family's life away in the wilds of America, living as if a, bad-mannered guest in his own heavily-mortgaged inn. Major Melody has married, so clearly beneath his pretentions to station, a very Irish Irishwoman who had given birth a mature number of years earlier to an even more Irish daughter. This young Melody-Sara- by name-launches a campaign to win the heart of the young, and wealthy, Simon Harford, and to show her disguest for her father's myths of nobility and honor. Ultimately she does so by insuring, in these days before the pill, that she will indeed marry

The performance, however, was very fine. A solid cast, with Denholm Elliott as Cornelius, G. (that's all) Wood as his old corporal Jamie Cregan, Priscilla Morrill as Nora, and Jeanne Hepple as Sara, brought far more conviction to the play than one had any reason to expect. Perhaps the fine~t thing about A Touch of t~e Poet IS the way in which O'NeIll wheels out so many distinct types of characters and exposes their weaknesses and deficiencies; and this was the area of greatest triumph for the National Repertory Theater's players. Denholm Elliott dese~ves special praise for his mul!:J-fac?ted portrayal, alternately Impenous and condescending on the one hand

The direction of Jack Sydow was effective, keeping what action there ,,:as movin~ well and pacing the dIalogue agIlely. The lighting and sets served well, and costuming did not intrude. ' One would have ho~ed that the redemption of CornelIUS could have been "sold" better; J;>ut t~at's something to take up WIth 0 Neill and not with Sydow. In fact, to have hoped for a. better performance and productIon of A Touch of the Poet would have been excessive. The National R~pertory Theater's prodUction is ~kllIful an~ artful, engaging even In th: play s poorer moments, and affectmg too often t . o Ignore.

Heatherton And

Hathaway

THE NOTEBOOK / DON CASPER

A recent advertisement in The HOYA has demonstrated that New South Cafeteria is really not the most tasteless thing in Christiandom. The ad in question was no less than a center-page spread which featured Joey Heatherton, a movie actress, clad in a Hathaway shirt. The garment amply shrouded her while leaving yet something to be desired. The message was ambiguous as to whether Joey Heatherton embodies the intrinsic ethos of Hathaway shirts or whether Hathaway shirts embody the intrinsic ethos of Joey Heatherton. At any rate, the entire crotchet was aimed at Miss Heatherton's body. The implication was that whenever one slips into a Hathaway, one also slips into a Heatherton. Now if Hathaway shirts in truth afforded all this, their fame would spread quite by itself without benefit of advertising. Little imagination is needed.

RICHARD BURTON RINGS ELIZABETH TAYLOR IN SHREW

That the House of Hathaway should foist this particular advertisement upon the Gentlemen of Georgetown is of course an insult to the intelligence and an affront to the sensibilities. It is also very good advertising. Belying a pathetic perception of human nature, the ad .most certainly did not appeal to one's sense of shirt. The Heatherton display is in marked departure from Hathaway's habitual one-eyed, moustached chap. Hathaway understands quite well that, hopefully, its rather snobbish hallmark does not make for a very satisfactory lust-object among Hilltop clientele.

Movies: Acting One's Part THE TAMING OF THE SHREW.

Starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Directed by Franco ZeffireIIi. At the Apex Theatre.

Referring to leading lady Elizabeth Taylor and her leading man, Richard Burton, a billboard ·advertisement for The Taming of the Shrew proclaimed: "THE MOTION PICTURE THEY WERE MADE FOR!" Now without Shakespeare's original, there could not have been any motion picture of the sort. Suddenly it becomes the play they were made for. In other words, an ingenious public relations man is attempting to persuade the audiences that Shrew was written expressly for Mr. Burton and Miss Taylor-which is unmitigated bilge. To inject the performer's personal lives into the play can do nothing but detract from the tastefullness of an otherwise excellent production.

Other promotional write-ups prostitute the playas "the first time the screen's most celebrated acting couple ... have been starred in an unrestrained, bawdy comedy spectacle." An audience wait-

ing to be engulfed in some Renaissance burlesque will be sadly disappointed. Of course there is the usual Elizabethan earthiness, nothing to be upset about. But there is also a strain of pathos without which the comedy would lose its character. And Elizabeth Taylor, as much as any other good actress, successfully .captures that pathos, using the out-and-out comic to accentuate its depth.

The role of Katharina, the shrew, presented certain difficulties in this respect. Miss Taylor overcame these and did not allow the ranting, raving creature to overtake the love-able person that she was. Miss Taylor perhaps took another's advice. "Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines . . . 0, it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwigpated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who, for the most part, are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb-shows and noise ... " (Hamlet III, ii). Miss Taylor'S contrived English accent, however, falters in a few instances.

But these are few and far between; and her closing soliloquy suffices for all.

Richard Burton, an accomplished Shakespearean, does justice to his role. He too is rambunctious yet restrained, knowing :full well that Petruchio is not entirely brawling simple-wit he seems to be. A superb performance was executed by Michael Hordern who portrayed Baptista, the harassed father of Katharina and her sister Bian.ca. His actions and expressions were immensely suited to the part, able to be changed in the blink of an eye, always classically comic. Again, advice was well taken. "Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be your tutor: suit the action to the word, the word to the action .... " (Hamlet HI, ii).

Director Franco Zeffirelli has created a massive motion picture. Such productions usually include sumptuous sets and oodles of cast -all of which Shrew no doubt revels. Yet these are used tastefully. There is no ear-blasting curtainraiser nor jarring crescendo at the close. It is as Shakespeare might have wanted it.

The result was tasteless. Whenever anything is buckled into a use for which it is least intended, the result is always tasteless. Hathaway shirts are no more meant to package Miss Heatherton's blooming torso than to elicit any sensation other than that of being clothed. It is aU part and parcel of a plethora of tasteless advertising pandering to a gullible public ever and anon ready to posit anything in print. Of course, a television screen saves one of the laborious process of thought. And living color simply enhances the credibility.

ULYSSES. Starring Milo O'Shea, Barbara .Tefford, Maurice Roeves, and T. P. McKenna.

This review is not really going to be as pessimistic as the headline sounds. In some ways, Joseph Strick's screen rendition of James Joyce's UlYsses is an adequately satisfying, even a good, film.

Strick manages at times to truly open up the screen, to give us a work of cinematic depth which marshals the senses until they nearly approach the tactile. Stephen's seashore scene does this well, as does a good deal of the Irish-ness of the film, the human authenticity of the thing.

Among the lead characters, this authenticity comes through most in T. P. McKenna's Buck Mulligan, and only a little less in Maurice Roeves' Stephen. And a notch under them, and this time authentic as a Dublin Jew, comes Milo O'Shea's Leopold Bloom.

Many more minor men and women, in much less time, strike us as equally real, alive, and meaningful.

In taking on the burden of faithfully filming Joyce's novel, however, Strick assumes responsibility

for recreating the whole cosmos of Dublin, making this alive in relationship to the life its people share, and in this context tracing the growth of a hero's odyssey. This is what Joyce has done, and through it revealed Bloom to Stephen, and vice versa, and bound all in the earth mother's assent.

We get the assent, we get the epiphany in Strick's version. But in a sense they are conjured up. The film has had to pick and choose its way across Dublin, skimming the surface in its literal attempt to keep track of Stephen and Leopold. Where the flaw of this method shows most is in the Circe scene, the actual climax of

(Continued from page 1) er he is a layman or cleric, but "that he rightly conceive the work of the University and he be capable and willing to work diligently and intelligently to achieve its objectives." He stressed, "Just as Georgetown's obligations touch many different publics, so it is fitting that it be free to call upon people from these various publics to assist in the development and governance of the University!'

Father Campbell then turned to the second main point of his speech.

He announced a grant :from the federal government of $2,338,530 for the new law center. This grant will permit detailed planning for the center and guarantee its completion by 1970 at the latest.

However, Father Campbell stressed that there is still a long way to go on Georgetown's first major campaign fOl' capital support. He asked the alumni present to respond with a.n all out effort because, "all hopes for the future of the University rest on the success of our efforts."

In conclusion, Father Campbell admitted that these ma.y seem like "radical departures" to some of Georgetown's former graduates. However, he stressed that Georgetown is not a "static" institution but one "alive" and aware of her problems and responsibilities in the' present age. "Indeed," he added, "Change is not altogether a matter of free choice, but of necessity. The very question of Georgetown's survival and the worth of her survival depends on our answer to the challenge of circumstance."

G-UCAP Eyewitness Account: Easter Trip To Mississippi

by Barbara Bush Having never been in any part of

the South; the news of racial strife and violence reached me as news of some foreign war. Yet it is happening in our own country and the issues will dominate the social history of this decade. Of the ten of us from GUCAP who met Mississippi during Easter recess, my own participation was motivated primarily by curiosity and a need to understand what was behind the blazing headlines.

We had driven the thousand miles in answer to a request made by Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer of Ruleville, a small town in Sunflower County. She is a Negro housewife who is running for state senator on the Freedom Democratic Party ticket. Her efforts and prod dings have been a major factor in the gradual but perceptible changes now cracking a tradition of inequality in "the closed society."

damage and a back injury incurred during a stay in jail.

It was difficult to gain an overall view of prevailing attitudes in this short stay since real contact with white southerners was obviated by the nature of the project. However, what was seen of the Negro community made a lasting emotional impression on all.

Page Nine ;'

With a curious spectrum of convictions we set out to assist in a voter registration drive in Sunflower County, the location of Senator Eastland's extensive plantation. Preconceptions were strength~ned only a few yards west of the Alabama line. A red and white sign proclaimed "This is Klan Country, U.S.A." Not far beyond we saw a billboard picturing a meeting with a caption reading "Martin Luther King at communist training school." A sign on a tavern reminded us "Colored in Back."

Several minor incidents were reported including a few jeering obscenities aimed at the moral character or ancestry of the "outside agitators." During neighborhood canvassing it was usual for the local police to be on observation pat]'ols in the vicinity. We found that many Negroes who were not registered voiced fears of losing their jobs or welfare checks if their name were put on the book, since in recent years bombs, fires. bullets and b~atine:s have been used to convince potential activists of the advisabilitv of continued docile acceptance of the status quo. Mrs. Hamer suffers from permanent kidney

The advent of mechanized agriculture, and especially of cotton picking machines, has left thousands jobless, dependent on the ubiquitous welfare check or sub-minimal wages for odd jobs. The educational level within the Negro community is quite low, a vicious circle perpetuated by the necessity of using Negro teachers, themselves often educated at non-accredited Mississippi colleges. With no jobs and little knowledge the despair quotient is high.

One might well question what may appear to be a passive reaction to a position of inferiority on the part of any intelligent and ambitious person. Why don't they get out? First of all Mississippi is

home. But perhaps more decisive in th'3 reluctance to stage an exodus is the fact that when one is a stranger through deprivation to the functioning and the opportunities of one's own society one is truly a prisoner of the familiar and cannot break free except with an unusually daring step. A few do leave. and fewer come back. Those who have made it seldom enter into the struggle of their people to find a better life.

GUCAP Elections Fill New Board; Plan Scholarships

The first meeting of the new GUCAP officers, elected last week, brought to light plans to concentrate GUCAP efforts in a single area of the District next year.

Members of the new board, Paul Carvedi (SFS '68), David Powell (CoIl. '68), Joseph Gerson (SFS '68), Anne Wiemerskirtch (GUNS '68) and Fred Perella (ColI. '69), agreed that GUCAP's efforts would be more effective if centered in the Cardoza area. Projects which are presently doing exceptionally well in other areas will be retained. Also proposed, was an orientation program to be carried out for prospective members next year.

In addition to making organizational changes, GUCAP has petitioned the University to establish one full and three partial scholarships for five D.C. public schools. The plan, which has received strong support from a number of faculty members and student leaders would grant the scholarships to students from the five D.C. public high schools which have participated in the Summer College Orientation program during the summers of 1964-66. .

'AcadeIllic Environment' At G. U. Law- Center Criticized

Frank Dubofsky, president-elect of the Georgetown University Student Bar Association, and an editor of Res Ipsa Loquitur, the Georgetown University Law School's quarterly magazine, have both recently supported departing Professor of Law, Paul G. Haskell, in his complaints of lack of a "congenial academic environment" at the law school.

In the March 14 issue of the Georgetown Law Weekly, Professor Haskell, who is leaving G.U. for Western Reserve University, enumerated his reasons for discontent with the law school. Defining "congenial academic environment" as a "sense of institutional goals and growth," he cited a general lack of discussion between faculty and administration in important areas as his basis for complaint.

These areas include: definition of direction or goal of the law school, development of a center for the study of public law, the development of a full-time postgraduate law study program, and the significance of the location of a law school separate from the larger university community.

The spring issue of Res Ipsa Loquitur, distributed April 11, contains an article titled "Rumblings From Below" by Jeffrey J. Joseph (,67), which further expresses dissatisfaction-this time from the student viewpoint. First discussing the general air of stu

of the Law Journal wrote a grievance letter signed by 300 fellow law students to the Academic VicePresident of the University." This letter protested steady departures of faculty members, condition of the law library, curriculum, and physical inadequacies of the Law Center.

In response to the student protests, the Law Center Administration has begun weekly conferences with student leaders to discuss grievances. According to Joseph's article, main areas of student dissatisfaction include budgetary allocations from the University and the "alienation" of the Law Center from the University. -

The Student Bar Committee has also been soliciting student opinion as to "what facilities should be incorporated into the new Law Center, and members of the student body have met with the architects to "question the current plan and offer suggestions for improvement."

Hoping to carryon this spirit of cooperation is the president-elect of the Student Bar Association, Frank Dubofsky, stating he wishes

to remain "open to any normal communication channels" with the administration. If these methods should fail, he sees "use of the petition if at all necessary," as in that sent to the Academic Vice President, and notification of those who would be interested in the situation, such as alumni of the law school.

Dubofsky agrees "that Professor Haskell's expression of grievances has a legitimate basis," and states that his election April 6 as a selfadmitted "radical" reform candidate among reform candidates serves to show general student discontent.

Finances and the grading system at the law center are two central problems, according to Dubofsky, who advocates a Dean's report on finance, and sees a need to "professionalize means of acquiring funds."

He also considers that, for the caliber of G.U. law students, the number of students flunking out is "far too harsh in number." Another of his plans is for a separate alumni association for the law school.

r-----------------------------------, dent criticism existing in many of the nation's leading law schools, including Harvard, Yale, and George Washington, Joseph continues with an analysis of Georgetown, which, he states, "appears to be undergoing a distinct realignment of its own act inconsistent with the national pattern."

The law schools of Harvard and Georgetown University were the most popular among potential 1966 law students, a report by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) of Princeton, N. J., shows.

and Columbia were the law schools of New York University, George Washington University, the University of Michigan, the University of Virginia, Fordham University, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University, an ETS official said.

that the seniors have actively fought the system of oral comprehensives by such means as a Student Council resolution against comprehensives, a report, still in preparation, by ten top students in the class and the forthcoming senior class report based on the questionnaire. However, as Fr. Sebes well knows, the problem doesn't stop here. The junior class, next year's seniors, are aware of the situation and have already sent out a questionnaire to the faculty. Likewise, as Fr. Sebees admitted in the junior-senior class meeting, he had received a long letter from a sophomore pleading for the abolishment of oral comprehensives. That's how far the problem has reached.

"In a nutshell, Fr. Sebes has

taken a long-range view of the situation. It is his opinion that the problem of oral comprehensives is but a small part of the greater problem as to 'Where is the School of Foreign Services going?' The seniors don't reject this and in fact wholeheartedly agree with this, but whereas Fr. Sebes has contended that nothing can be done this year, many seniors, especially those retaking the oral comprehensives, feel that something has to be done this year."

Though he was highly critical of the oral comprehensives and the lack of action toward their immediate abolishment, Dwyer commended Fr. Sebes for being very available to discuss the problem with any of the seniors at almost any time.

test, Alpha Phi Omega's fund raising drive for the Service Project Fund, will soon be underway. This year's contest will involve competition between campus organizations, including clubs, house councils and dorm floors.

Each competing group will nominate a candidate and the entire University may go to the polls the week of April 17. Votes are a penny apiece and the candidate with the most money given in his name becomes the winner. His sponsoring organization receives a permanent trophy while the candidate is given a gold pin.

The candidate must be associated with G.U. in some manner and in the past the candidates have been usually teachers or Jesuit administrators. However, since Georgetown students are noted for their ingenuity, Alpha Phi Omega looks forward to some very original candidates.

Guaranteed Income, Job Creation Urged By Lecturer At GU

The federal government should include a guaranteed annual wage and full employment programs in its war-on-poverty, economist Leon H. Keyserling said-speaking to a Georgetown class in social justice. The former economic adviser to President Truman said "there is nothing radical" about his proposals.

"Guaranteed full employment is really a moral and social problem, not an economic problem," Keyserling said. "When Americans' decide that fighting poverty should have priority over defense costs, we wiII create employment to get rid of poverty!'

Keyserling said he favors a guaranteed annual wage for all persons who can not work because existing welfare policies are a "horrible rag-bag of bankrupt program."

Sigma Xi Club Wins' Chapter Status At G.U.

A chapter of the Society of the Sigma Xi, a national honor society for the encouragement of original scientific research, has been established at Georgetown University. Formal installation ceremonies were held Monday, March 20, at the Hall of Nations with Dr. Caryl P. Haskins of the Smithsonian, National President of the Society, presiding.

Preparation for membership began in 1955 when the Sigma Xi Club of Georgetown University was organized. Four years ago a committee under Dr. Jacinto Steinhardt, Professor of Chemistry, was formed to draft a preliminary petition to the national organization requesting chapter status. In December, 1966, the final petition in book form was presented at Sigma Xi's 67th Annual Convention, held here in Washington, D. C. The convention delegates then voted to accept Georgetown for full scholarship which it granted officially at the ceremony on March 20.

Membership in the Sigma Xi will be open to Georgetown professors doing original research in the sciences, as well as to graduate students who have demonstrated notable achievement in pure and applied science. Presently, about 150 professors and students are eligible.

At present, there are approximately 160 chapters of the Society of the Sigma Xi throughout the country. .Locally, in addition to Georgetown, chapters are found at George Washington, Catholic, Howard, and Maryland.

Dr. George P. Chapman, Professor of Biology, has been elected president of the Georgetown chapter. He succeeds Dr. Abner Golden, Chairman of the Department of Pathology in the Medical School.

Student Leaders Meet On Maid Controversy

(Continued from page 1) letter stating that "because of the financial situation, the University is attempting to reduce expenses on the dormitories in those areas that least affect student life. If sufficient economies can be made in those areas, there will be no reduction in maid service in student rooms or in prefect services for next year."

In an interview with The HOYA, Fr. Fitzgerald explained that the need to economize resulted partly from pay raises as of J anuary 1, 1967, to non-academic personnel. The University made these raises upon the recommendation of a firm that had studied the University pay scales in the middle of 1966. Fr. Fitzgerald said these pay raises were "a significant factor" leading to efforts to economize, but he also stressed "the inflationary period of our economy" as a .factor leading to the pay raises.

O'Brien had earlier said that the "primary goal (in meeting with Fr. Zeits and Fr. Fitzgerald) is to close whatever confidence gap may exist between the students and the Administration." And he added: "Confident that the Administration has the interest of the students in mind, we desire an explanation of possible policy changes in regard to maid service with enough time so that students can plan accordingly."

O'Brien termed Fr. Fitzgerald's explanation of the process leading to the decision to maintain maid service as "frank and complete."

Modglin described the results of the interview in these terms: "We were partially successful in that we gained a definite statement about maid service for next year. There is still the greater problem of the allocation of University funds both from student activity

fees and as a result of the tuition increase."

Fr. Fitzgerald's evaluation of the way in which the student leaders handled the whole problem echoed his speech on Thursday, April 6, to the junior classes of all the University's undergraduate schools. In this speech, he said: ". . . you can hinder our efforts to discover where economies can be m'ade most reasonably and least painfully, if you demand, before we are in a position to do so, that we spell out how the dorms are going to be run next year."

In the same speech, Fr. Fitzgerald said: "The widely circulated petition, passed unanimously on March 14 by the New South House Council astonished me. It begins: 'Whereas there has been no definite statement on whether the room fees next year will be raised. . . .' On February 1, all deans had posted a notice which included the following statement: 'Nor will room rates be augmented. Insofar as deficits are projected for dormitories, the proper officials

m.ust discover ways of economizing that will bring these budgets into balance so that room charges will not advance from their present rather high level'."

Commenting on his meeting with the eight student leaders Fr. Zeits said, "I was very much encouraged when they expressed a wish to help the Administration explain to the students why the problems existed."

Most of the student leaders appreciated Fr. Zeits' cooperation. In Modglin's estimation, "Fr. Zeits' forthrightness with the students did much to keep this controversy over room contracts from becoming a greater problem."

With the additional time gained by the earlier beginning of the school year, baseball could become a completely fall sport with games potentially possible with St . .lohn's, Manhattan, and Washington and Lee Universities.

Phantom Athletic .(lSetup' Stays Secret by Alan Cariddi

In an eff01't to unveil or perhaps penetrate the ra.ther formidable alt1'a of secrecy slwouding the question of athletic policies at this Unive1'sity in general, present and future, The HOY A has conducted a small investigation into the de facto organizational structure of the phantom athletic "set-up," Who runs it, what is now taking place, what developments a1'e likely to evolve in the future, what are OU?' present p?'oblems, are topics taken up in the following HOY A in-depth article,

The last, and significantly, the only time that Georgetown University's Athletic Board has been convoked this school year by its incumbent head, Father Davis, S,J, Dean of the College, was sometime before the Christmas recess. Students concerned with questions such as that of the football program and of the expansion of the sports program in general are still anxiously awaiting some disclosures as to the decisions reached during that meeting. No official word seems forthcoming however. In fact, a question in point, revealed Fr. Davis, appears to be whether or not students should be given access to such information at all. There are objections.

Hard Facts

Indeed, and unfortunately, few concrete facts relevant to these questions are available--at least to students. Presumably, the answers are to be found in the multitudinous prevarications released by any high administrative official one may wish to ask.

Officially, however, the people responsible for the formulation and direction of athletic policy here today are members of the so-called Athletic Board, composed of two administrators: Fr. Davis, and Fr. Dineen, S.J., Acting Dean of the I.L.L.; two faculty members, Professors Herzbrun and Fort; the director and the moderator of the Athletic Department, Mr. Hagerty and Father Hoggson, respectively; an alumni representative; and both student council heads, Mssrs. Brennan and McKenna,

The board was originally conceived as a sports policy advisory group responsible to the academic vice-president, currently Father Fitzgerald, who retains the final word on any question. Its ultimate function, then, is to propose legislation, not to decide its future. Nevertheless, thus far this year, its efforts, for the most part, have seemed rather lethargic as far as concrete developments are concerned.

For one thing, many feel that the board lacks organizational efficiency. There appears to be some ground to the claim. Apart from an interest in sports, the administrators and members of the faculty on the board, who are appointees of University President Father Gerard Campbell, S . .J., have had ostensibly little or no past experience in formulating athletic policies. This weakness appears to many to be egregiously inconsistent with the many demands in sports of a school as large as G. U.

Here too, we must note that perhaps the only member of-the board who can consecrate himself fully to its function is Mr. Hagerty. The others, unfortunately have other concerns.

When asked what had been discussed at the last meeting, Fr. Davis replied: "Possible future topics."

Mums the Word

He stressed the need for a certain amount of confidentiality in the functioning of the board to ease friction between branches of the administration involved in such policy-making. Certainly discretion is understandable-yet the fact that students remain in total ignorance seems unpardonable. Mr.

Hagerty ascertained that the primary purpose of the projected post-Christmas meeting was to discuss the future of football at Georgetown. Fr, Davis has not yet called that meeting; and there is little evidence that he intends to do so in the near future. The problem, logically enough, seems to be that his board is really at the mercy of unpredictable factorsforemost among them, the harness of insufficient funds. Secondly,· its members have much else to do. Too much else--so that they cannot wholly be blamed for their inadvertencies.

The situation remains however, that little or nothing tangible seems to have been accomplished thus far this year to give students a bigger, better, or more efficient sports program.

Mike Brennan, president of the Yard, asks that a meeting be definitely scheduled for some time in May to try to resolve the unproductive intransigence of the board. He states that even he, a member of the board, is in much the same state of ignorance as most students as to the background policies and budget record of the athletic board. He succinctly summarized the problem:

"How can we set policy without knowing the background of what went on before-or more significantly-without meeting at all?"

Fleeting Finances

Brennan and McKenna have urged Fr, Davis to convene but have received only numerous assurances. Both are "very disappointed" with the achievements of the board. To the claim that funds were insufficient, Brennan replied that "the Athletics budget has increased $75,000 over the past three years, but nobody knows where the money has gone." He said he wished to join with McKenna to "open the books of the Athletic Department" and find out "just what is and what has been going on."

McKenna too complains of mismanagement. He intimated the

AT THE GYM

. ' . ,

existence of a leak of funds, especially down at the gym during basketball games and other functions for athletic benefit; and cases of locker theft even when lockers have been conclusively locked. He feels that the structure on the whole should be reorganized; that it is not now a "dynamic one." He again emphasized the lack of communication between the athletic and other branches of the Administration. He feels that if there is to be a change at all, "it must come from the students; there is just no real initiative in the Administration in this area." He cites the numerous club sports as evidence of student frustration with University intransigence. He feels that such efforts should receive many times the support they do now.

Then there are the tangible problems-apparently consequences of a mismanaged (or nonexistent) athletic policy as well. Foremost among these, cites Mr. Benedek, coach of the track team, is that of discipline among scholarship athletes. Mr. Benedek stated that the Administration has not supported him in cases of delinquent athletes. He said that he is conscious of the delicate balance between athletics and academics, and will never sacrifice the latter for the former, yet he feels the situation is often misjudged. If an athlete is given a scholarship, he is obligated by a recent NCAA ruling to compete-or disqualify himself of his scholarship. This ruling has not been enforced at Georgetown. More objectively, one cannot construct a strict dichotomy in the case of the athlete and his studies, for then we are left to question the purpose of a university in awarding athletic scholarships at all.

Standout Perhaps the most commendable

effort in bringing sports to the students at Georgetown recently is the Intramural Program, under the direction of Mr. George Murtaugh. With severely limited facilities, he has succeeded in luring out hundreds of eager students out' onto the courts and fields-but not nearly as many as he had wished. He, like most of his colleagues, is resigned to accepting what he feels are imposed limitations, and to working with them in any manner he can. .'

Most officials and coaches in the gym are reluctant to speak of the situation at all, although they rec" ognize the need for new equipment and facilities. Foremost on this list are the popular handball courts and a swimming pool (the plans for which have been mouldering in Fr. Collins' office for many years). Yet these men feel alienated from the rest of the University and remain taciturn.

Mr. Hagerty went so far as to propose the construction of outdoor handball courts-perhaps utilizing the now wasted roof space on New

ably received-b~t no action has been taken. This was long ago.

Mr. Joe Kuczo, nationally known trainer, is satisfied with his training facilities, but he too feels isolated from the rest of the school. He also feels that the lack of facilities here have prevented sports from playing the harmonizing role they should and do play in other institutions.

Perhaps the most numbing revelation afforded by Dean Davis is that, as plans (or "lack of them) now stand, the present state of affairs is unlikely to change for many years to come. There are no immediate plans for expansion. It seems that the projected library, law school, and medical center have drained most of the available funds so that even proposing ameliorative measures at this point would seem superfluous.

Yet there are few students who would defend the adequacy of existing facilities, and even fewer teams which are satisfied with their present financial backing. Nevertheless it appears that they will just have to wait.

Keven McKenna, president of

First

Choice

Of The

Engageables

the East Campus Student Council and member of the Athletic Board, feels that the lack of attention being paid to this problem is due in great measure to what he designates as a "stagnated bureaucracy" in the isolated bastion that is the gym; and that we sometimes forget that athletics are an indispensable and integral part of college life.

He feels that most of these men, through no fault of their own, but by dint of their many years here, have just grown into the structure itself-so that the whole set-up is being run rather like a family than like the efficient organization which a school like Georgetown demands. He f"els that because of this, the G. U. student is being cheated of a valuable part of the total college experience.

Both Brennan and McKenna are joined in a plea for a re-evaluation, through frequent meetings of the Athletic Board, of the present sports set-up, perhaps to avoid becoming what McKenna so aptly termed "merely the reliquary of our old football glories," and nothing more.

ABA Selects ·Three Top Seniors As Prospective B-Ba~11 Rookies

by Don Finnerty Early last week, the American

Basketball Association made its initial selection of this year's crop of college seniors. The honor of these selections was given to Steve Sullivan, Frank Hollendoner and Neil Heskin by Pittsburgh, New York and Denver respectively.

It all started when they were freshmen at Georgetown. At that

time former coach Tom O'Keefe drew up a list of possible future pro prospects for a close friend, who is now the general manager of Denver. The list included Heskin Sullivan, Hollondoner, .Jim Barr; and Owen Gillen among others. It seems that the general manager had enough confidence in Coach O'Keefe's opinion to draft Neil practically sight unseen.

Neil himself was taken by surprise by Denver's selection. The first he knew about it was what he read :in the morning papers. The 6'8" senior is anxious to get a crack at this new pro league, but a few problems have arisen. The first is with his foot. Three times in the last two years he has suffered bone breaks. He needs a complete medical O.K. to play and a doctor's appointment in the future should provide the answer.

In the last edition of The HOYA, Tony Lauinger came out strongly against the proposed academic calendar change. The evidence behind his stand definitely points to difficulties for all teams involved in spring sports 'and can not be emphasized enough.

. The change in the ·academic year has been tried at other schools, but many are finding that they are forced to drop some of their athletic teams. Detroit University, as a prime example, has eliminated their varsity baseball team for this reason. This is a school with an enrollment of over 10,000 students and .they have no baseball team, not because of a lack of players, but because of a lack of time. There is no question that some of the younger spring sports teams at Georgetown will be snuffed out if there is a change here.

The second problem is with his future employment. Neil has a job with aNew .Jersey accounting firm starting in .July and this would conflict with his possible pro career. As he relates, HI don't think that they would be too happy with my playing pro balL" As of now many things are up in the air, but it looks as if he is going to give it a try.

The situation is pretty much the opposite with Frank Hollendoner who has shown little interest in a pro career. Frank was surprised at being drafted, commenting, HI didn't even know there was an A.B.A." He also explained that he has his plans set for graduate school and only a sizable offer would make him even consider playing pro ball.

Most of the interest surrounding the pro draft in this area is focused on Steve Sullivan. The 6'8" mainstay of this year's Hoya team is sought by both leagues. He has expressed an interest in the A.B.A. but will wait until the N.B.A. draft in early May.

He was notified by the Pittsburgh officials by telegram immediately after the draft and expects them to come to D.C. in the next few weeks to see him. However, it would seem that Sully favors playing in the N.B.A. The fact that the N.B.A. is more established and organized and offers more security in the long run would make him lean toward the older league.

G.U. Golfers Top 'Tigers'; Outlook OK

The Georgetown golf team last week lifted its season record to 2-1 'with a narrow 4-3 win over Princeton at home. Pete Keller and Rick Dzeikan, the second and seventh men respectively, won SUdden death play-offs when they found themselves tied after the regulation 18 holes. Other victories were registered by number three, .Jim Ball, and number six, Harry Sawin. The victory was doubly sweet for the Hoyas, who were twice conquered by Princeton in their last two meetings.

In an earlier match, Georgetown managed only a split in a triangular meeting, beating American University 4%-21h, but losing to Delaware 4-3. Harry Sawin was the. only double winner of the day, takmg the measure of both his opponents from Delaware and American.

At the present moment, Georgetown has one of .the most diversified offerings of athletic teams of any school its size. The proposed change, if it were ,in operation this year, would be reduced to eight games; the crew would have only five meets, heavyweights and lightweights inclusive; the tennis team would have seven matches; the golf team would have six matches; the sailing team would have only two meets; and, perhaps most disastrous, the polo team would have only three matches. These abbreviated schedules would allow the Hoyas only token representations at best.

It can be 'argued that there are ways to get around most of these newly created problems. Many midwestern universi;ties carryon their basel;>all schedules into the early summer. But the exam schedule at Georgetown promises a two week lay-off and it would take a while for the baseball team merely to regain its edge. The track team would lose much of its prestige because the lona Relays and the Drake Relays are held during the last week and a half of April.

There i·s also the possibility that some~ of the spring sports can be converted into fall sports. This seems to be the case with the soccer team who has been outsted from its customary practice sites by the intramural softball program. There have 'been rumors that the rugby team might make the same switch. But this will merely add to the difficulties with soccer, rugby and intramural football vying for the sacred remains of the once spacious lower field. The greatly reduced practice area has elimina;ted some of the advantage of having the oppOl~tunity to increase the schedule for fall athletics as a result of the change.

It should be realized that there will be numerous scheduling problems because, although some schools have this type of academic calendar, there are many more who do not. This could also signal the end for many Hoya rivalries with eastern universities and most probably would weaken the schedules of some of Georgetown's teams.

Alvhough the poll taken ·nearly two months ago has no bearing on the final decision to be made, Georgetown's students were thrown a curve in that the negative side of the issue was not presented. Athletically speaking, Georgetown does not need the change.

* * * After ·a dismal basketball season, Coach Jack Magee has

the opportunity to recruit his own ball players. Recently he was touring the Midwest and was extremely interested in a cel~ain player. He took ibhe boy out to dinner as part of an interview. He thought the University would pick up the bill, but was surprised when they discouraged this type of procedure.

It is unfortunate that collegiate athletics is forced Ito partake in recruiting operations like and related to this. But it is sometimes necessary to be realistic in a world where ·there seem to be no holds barred. For Georgetown to rise from their present basketball status, it might be necessary to pay for a few dinners.

Academic Year Change? Mendo%a~ Y ea; Nolan~ Nay

by Joe Montwell The recent controversy over the

proposed revision of the academic year at Georgetown has brought about opposing views by the coaches of two of the school's athletic teams which could conceivably be affected by such a change. The two in question are baseball coach Tom Nolan and soccer coach Sgt. Ricardo Mendoza, and it was learned that the new school year would affect the two sports quite differently.

Sgt. Mendoza, with the AFROTC unit at Georgetown, is an enthusiastic man who has visions of a soccer power at GU. His reaction to the proposed change was one of joy. For one thing, the spring soccer season is rather short, even now being completed before the end of March. Therefore, ending the spring semester at the beginning of May is of little or no consequence to soccer. The fall season, however, would be affected and Coach Mendoza could not be happier about this possibility. Getting his charges started on conditioning and practice would certainly be an advantage over opponents. There would be more daylight allowing longer practices,

more scrimmages and games. Strictly speaking, soccer is a fall sport and as such can only be benefited by an increased playing season. Coach Mendoza has his fingers crossed in anticipation of a favorable decision by the administration.

Coach Tom Nolan has enough problems with the infamous new baseball diamond without worrying about his athletic schedule being subjected to change by a new academic year. But the possibility is there and he and Mr. Hagerty, who must handle the scheduling of games, may very well have to face this additional headache.

This spring, Nolan had his players running in February so they are no strangers to cold weather. But the new school year would also require them to be outside working

on their fielding and hitting in the middle of winter. This is out of the question. There is a possibility that the opening of the season in the third week of March could remain unchanged. The games now played in May would be inserted among the earlier games. This can theoretically be done by scheduling more doubleheaders and Sunday games, but even now Georgetown is playing three games a week in April. Adding any more would not only put a physical strain on Nolan's pitching staff, but also affect the academic performance of the entire squad-a problem of which the coach is constantly aware.

Another solution would be a (Continued on page 15)

Coach Torn Nolan's baseball team although coming out on the short end of the first four scores this season, is looking to the remaining schedule with more optimism than might be expected. N one of the four games were runaways by any means, and in several it was simply a matter of a single break going against the Hoyas that spelled defeat.

The biggest scoring spread came in the Hoyas' first game against Syracuse March 31. The Orangemen racked up a 9-2 victory with the help of a five-run inning, but other than this outburst the Hoyas played fairly even with the New York nine.

Soccer TealTl Coach Emphasising Practice

The University of Rochester game on April 1 had something of an April Fool's flavor, with the Hoyas charging back from a 7-1 deficit in the fifth inning to trail by one run, only to see victory slip bet'l~een their fingers. Mike Keesey, commg to bat with two out and runners on second and third, lined a shot off the third baseman's glove into short left field. But Keesey, who has not been used extensively because of a leg injury, could not outrun the shortstop's peg to first, and the winning runs died on base. The 8-7 final score can be mainly attributed to Georgetown's consistent inability to bring men on base around to score.

George Washington's Colonials jumped to an early lead in their April 4 game with the Hoyas, when a succession of 'wild pitches and passed balls gave them three runs in the second. In the eighth inning, with tl:e Hoyas trailing 4-2, Dick Gregorie tagged a triple, scoring one runner, but when Gregorie tried to stretch the hit into a home run he was tagged easily at the plate.

soccer team, oddly enough, spend a great deal of their time playing soccer. Air Force Technical Sergeant Ricardo Mendoza, the team's coach, encourages only those prospects "willing to exert the effort to become athletes of a major college standard." Soccer is a competitive sport: the pace is fast, the spirit aggressive, the goal to win. Since Coach Mendoza makes every sacrifice to build a winning team, he expects every team member to sacrifice whatever is necessary to achieve victory.

This spring, for the second time since he assumed his soccer coaching duties, Coach Mendoza conducted spring soccer workouts beginning in late February. Twohour conditioning sessions were held three times a week. Hard drills in fundamental skill were emphasized; new talent was scouted and evaluated. The gameevery-three-days fall schedule allows little time for individual attention; the more flexible pattern

After having their game with Randolph-Macon rained out, the Hoyas took the field April 8 against Delaware, only to drop a 10-8 game. Although the Mud Hens committed 6 errors to the Hoyas' 4, the victors' cause was greatly aided by a booming home run which landed over the track on Kehoe Field on the fly. COACH MENDOZA

of the spring workouts allowed time for focus on individual problems and development. The emphasis lay on developing and perfecting soccer skills and techniques rather than an immediate preoccupation with victory.

The team split its four spring games, edging the Italian Cadets of the D.C. Amateur League, 3-2, splitting a 4-1 victory with a 3-2 defeat in two contests with the German Eagles of the same league, and dropping a 6-1 game to the G.W.U. club team, composed mostly of seasoned graduate students ineligible for the varsity squad. Coach Mendoza praised junior captain Fred Good's improved showing in three contests and mentioned the encouraging play of junior Bob De Cock as well as from prospects Dean Conway, Howard Petschler, and George Rehm.

The start of softball intramurals and other spring sports has forced the team to suspend "'orkouts for lack of playing space. Coach Mendoza felt the spring workouts gave team members a valuable chance to work exclusively on developing skills, techniques, and tactics in an effort to forge a distinctive soccer expertise; in short, to fulfill Coach Mendoza's goal of a tough, conditioned, solid team with its own distinctive "G. U. st),le."

In an effort to counteract the blunting effects of absence from competition, Coach Mendoza has tried to place several of his charges with local amateur teams. In addition, the indulgence of the AFROTC in allowing Sgt. Mendoza the time needed to forge a winning team has been extended into a tentative effort to itself sponsor or secure sponsorship for a Georgetown Soccer Club that could engage in off-season competition.

Next fall Sgt. Mendoza plans to start practice around Sept. 20 and conduct morning conditioning ses

Lacrosse T ealD Has Poor Season Start , ,

In spite of their relatively slow start the lacrosse club is· ! looking forward to the second half of the season with a dif- \ ferent kind of atUb:de. As illustrated by last Sunday's 5-2 I loss to George Washmgton, the team can function as a unit . and control the play, but has a great deal of difficulty in scoring.

According to the statistics, Georgetown scored on two of 36 shots, 'whereas G.W. got five goals out of 10 attempts. Part of this can be attributed to the Colonial's goalie who made some fine stops but the fact remains that most of the Hoya's shots were not hard enough or were right at the goalie. Another problem that the Hoyas faced was their inability to change from offense to defense in time to pick up the ball-carrier.

In light of the defeat Coach Al .Kirson felt he should begin placmg more stress on the individ,:al abilities of ~is players. In partICular, he saId that attention would be given to man-on-man coverage and the development of a hard shot.

Downs Penn 9-2 .!. The spl'ing polo season started

last weekend with great weather, a large crowd of afficianados, and :L

smashing victory by the Hoyas over their opponents from the University of Pennsylvania.

The Georgetown club plays on the indoor court in the spring. This packs the crowd in a little tighter but puts you right in the. middle of the action. The Hoyas started off with a two goal lead in the early minutes of the first chukker. Bob Reilly, captain of the Hilltop team, showed that if anything the winter has improved his riding talents, and the field being in rather fine condition allowed him full reign. By the end of the first chukker Georgetown was ahead by five goals to zip.
