Vote NO on Amendment (See Editorial)

Student Government President Carl Weitzman, speaking before a State committee yesterday, de­manded that the State recognize its financial obligation to the Citj-Univei'sity.

The Joint Legislative Commit­tee on Higher Education heard

Weitzman claim that "adequate fund" to extricate the City Uni­versity from its present finan­cial difficulty are available and t h a t "the state of New York has an obligation to make such funds available" to the City.

"I think this is a blunderous way of going about i t ," comment­ed Professor Adolph Tomars (Chmn., Sociology) on the course and teacher evaluation which is being instituted this term. "I will not hand out the poll," de­clared Professor Brayton Polka (His tory) .

While some professors a t the College have voiced serious ob­jections to the forthcoming course and teacher evaluation program, others have supported the poll as useful to both students and in­structors . "Anyone who can get into City College as a fully ma­triculated student has the ability to make a valid judgment ," said Professor Richard Rommer (Geo­logy) . He maintained tha t the

Economics Lectures Criticized

In Results Of In-Class Survey , Grass roots dissatisfaction with the present system of

Economics 101 and 102 - lectures jn Great Hall was found in a poll of lecture hall students taken last week by Ellen Turk­ish and Elayne Kent under the auspices of the Common Sense Party.

The two.^ students distributed close to i M c(uestionnaii*s iii their Economics 102 class.

"Everyone who received a ques-tionnaire returned it, which tells you something about how inter­esting the lecture was ," com­mented Miss .-< Tttrkish. Response was overwhelmingly negative, she paid.

The questionnaire was divided into three pa r t s : content of course, teaching ability, and suggestions.

The class was unanimously agreed that the lectures' content was not well integrated with the recitation classes. Students felt

t h a t when they took notes, they were wri t ing down words with­out any understanding of the con­cepts involved, Miss Turkish said.

The Great Hall itself was often blamed for the lack of under­s tanding. I ts acoustics and size were attacked by many students.

Comprehension of lecture ma­terial was apparently spotty. The responses varied from "some­t imes" to "definitely not" on this question.

Asked if the lectures improved the student 's knowledge of eco­nomics, many responded with "are you k idd ing?" or less often, "sometimes." The lectures were often helpful, some felt, once the material was explained in the re­citation classes.

Teaching ability was criticized, al though most s tudents felt the instructors were very well ac­quainted with their field.

The most persistent criticism was that lecturer "read well," but did not teach. They mumbled and spoke too quickly, some

evaluation program would give the student a feeling of particip­ation.

Most objections to the program centered on the assertion tha t inany undergraduates were too immature or linknowledgeable to arequately ra te , their professors and courses. Prof. Tomars felt t h a t the student might not ap­preciate certain teachers whose value he would realize later on.

Larry Yermack Coordinating Teacher Evaluation

Professors backing the evalua­t ion said it would call attention to a teacher's shortcomings and thus enable him to correct them.

They felt t h a t most students were perfectly able to evaluate their teachers on the basis of the content of their lectures, ra ther than on incidentals such as sense of humor or easy grading.

Although Professor Samuel Hendel (Political Science) had reservations about the ability of many students to express "any significant judgement" on some of the ma t t e r s queried, he thought tha t the questions "would probably yield- some useful in­formation for the conscientious and concerned teacher."

Only one professor questioned, Sheila Tobias (History) , felt tha t the present evalution didn't go far enough. She thought the poll should be published in a handbook as is done a t Harvard.

In defense of the course and teacher evaluation, the cost of which probably exceed $10,000, EG Educational Affairs Vice President Herman Berliner and the program's coordinator, La r ry Yermack, explained that many of the fears of the professors were based on misconceptions. The 1949 questionnaire which the professors were shown has since been "completely reworked, but not revised," theiy said. The lan­guage which was unclear and was the source of criticism has been redone by experts contin-

In response to an appeal by Mayor Robert F . Wagner , t ha t increased tensions "might undo" efforts to heal the present crisis, the committee postponed hearing Dr. Bowker, BHE Chairman Gus-tave Rosenberg, Brooklyn College President Har ry Gideonse, CU Dean of Studies Har ry Levy, and Hunter College President John Meng.

Free Tuition Losing Ground Across Country The spectre of tuition charges

at previously free colleges has ap­peared on a nationwide basis, ac­cording to an informal survey conducted by Technology Council R e s i d e n t Stephen Harkavy.

Rice University, Texas, which charged no tuition from 1912 to 196r>, presently charges new un­dergraduates $1,200 per year, and $1,500 for graduate students.

Rhode Island College at Prov­idence, tuition-free from 1854 until 1958, has found its initial tuition of $25 raised to $235.

Cooper Union, one of the country 's foremost engineering schools, founded as a tuition-free institution in 1859, currently re­quires a $100 fee per year. "Spir-

aling educational costs have made it more difficult financially in the past few years to maintain the tuition-scholarship policy," Coop­er Union Public Relations Direc­tor Frank Culver said in a letter to Harkavy.

Western Washington State Col­lege, as well as other state-sup­ported colleges in Washington, was forced in 1961 by the state 's legislature to charge tuition for the first time.

Rhode Island reports a con­troversy among its Board of Trustees and legislators over pos­sible increase in the charge.

Dean M. McEnany of Rice Uni­versity told Harkavy that , " I t was with grea t regret and some

misgivings that we abandoned our free tuition policy, but we found it no longer possible to keep up with the present day demands on a university and maintain the high standards of quality for which we have always been known."

meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 PM in the OP of­fice. All !*taff must at tend.

A discussion of what vital steps are needed in these t imes of crisis on OP will be held. Pro­spective candidates a re welcome.

FACULTY ADVISOR: Prof. Leonard Kriegel (Cnglish) OBSERVATION POST is published and edited by students • / the City College. Editorial decisions are determined by majority vote of the Managing Board and JSancy Ehrlich and Nancy Fields.

No Time For Expediency Student Government's failure to function smoothly thijs

term has curtailed many of its programs. Whether the blame lies on the inability of SG executives to provide lead­ership or on a bureaucratic hierarchy is uncertain, but neither case warrants Student Council's hasty action in re­vamping the Executive Committee.

The proposed constitutional amendment will eliminate the position of Executive Vice President, and in place of the Campus, Community and Educational Affairs Vice Presidents establish Curricular and Co-curricular Affairs VPs. The Secretary would assume control of campus activi­ties.

We do not support these changes. The Executive Vice President should serve to coordinate all SG activities and act as the President's deputy. The incumbent has been un­able to do so largely because ^Carl Weitzman has failed to delegate power in a responsible manner.

It is important tha t there be clearly defined lines be­tween various SG activities, and the current system separ­ates projects while providing adequate means of working together.

The role of the secretary should be enlarged, but not by usurping already-delegated power. We propose tha t the secretary supervise the publication of Spectrum, the offi­cial SG newsletter, and use it as a means of publicizing SG activities.

It should also contain a full account of Council meetings, so that the student body may acquaint itself with its rep­resentatives' activities.

The present SG system is based upon proposals of the National Student Association. It has its shortcomings, but they can be remedied by careful and thoughtful considera­tion.

Council has done a disservice to the student body in pro :

posing this amendment. It has once more placed expediency before the best interests of the College. The amendment should be soundly defeated. We urge a no vote.

To Be Free This campus lias long been plagued by ignorance of the

issues and principles involved in our current controversies. A teach-in on civil liberties, sponsored by the Young Con­

servatives and the W.E.B. DuBois Club, will be held Friday. It will t ry to make clear where the line must be drawn be­tween our basic freedom and national security, an issue which has been much debated at the College.

Many issues directly pertaining to students, such as the protest demonstrations at Berkeley and protests against the war in Vietnam, will be discussed. The speakers include Dr. Herbert Aptheker, Director of the American Institute for Marxist Studies, Professor Ear! Phillips of Fordham Law School, Student Government President Carl Weitzman and Professors Stanley Feingold and Samuel Hendel (Political

-Science).

Ohservanon Post wholeheartedly supports the teach-in and urges all students to attend. We all owe to ourselves to increase the scope of our education by going to the teach-in.

thought. Singled out for the most criticism were the anonymous lecturers at the begmning of the term. Most felt that with the arrival of Professors Stanley Fried lander, Benjamin Klebaner, and Edward Taussig, the teach­ing improved considerably, but not enough.

The lectures were "sterile and vague" according to one student. They were "not brought off in a stimulating manner," said an­other.

A frequent complaint was the inability of the lecturers to ex-

Dr. Hollander said the present free tuition system actually dis^ criminated against students from poorer families, as they could re­ceive no state or federal aid.

Under state control, with a state-imposed tuition charne, however, students would eligible for city as well as state and federal aid.

City Controller-elect Mario Procaccino opposed Hollander at­taining with particular vehemence the "shadow tuition" aspect of the proposal.

plain the subject matter. Teach­ers were, because of the physical arrangement and size of the class, unaware of the fact that many points were unclear.

Most students felt very strong­ly that ai "course in public speak­ing" should be required for lec­turers. Miss Turkish said.

Students suggested that the classes be moved out of Great Hall into a room of the lecturer's choice.

Mimeographed lecture notes were often mentioned, along with the suggestion that if such notes were made available, attendance should not be mandatory.

Professor Henry Villard's (Chmn., Economics) idea of as­signing one lecturer to the class for an entire term was not well received. Only three students ap­proved.

They rei terated tha t the pro­gram would be completely volun­tary with several alternatives open to the professor. The teach­er has a choice of:

# not part icipat ing a t all • participating and tabulat ing

the resu l t s himself

O having the resul ts tabulated by IBM machine and return­ed to him

O allowing the anonomous course evaluation results to be published by SG.

Yermack and Berliner expect 75 to 80 per cent of the faculty to participate in the entire pro­g ram, and 90 per cent to particip­a te in the publishing of the course evaluation.

against such teams as Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Princeton and Navy, the parr iers will need some help from their sophomores.

The newcomers to the squad are Melvin Allen, William Bor-kowsky, Ed Bucholz, Jack Ende, Steve Gelman, Steve Liebermann, Ron Linton, Arnold Messing, Mel Rabinowitz and Eglon Simons. The foil squad will be the chief beneficiary of this new blood, a s

Simons, Borkowsky, Bucholz and Gelman will compete witfi tha t weapon.

Coach Edward Lucia is opti­mistic about this year 's team's chances, but is also cautious. No team which depends heavily on newcomers when facing Ivy League squads can afford too much confidence. But, if only from force of habit, the parr iers will undoubtedly have another successful season.

Along with other sundry residents, South Campus has been inhabited by a pack of dogs led by a large white mongrel. About three months ago a new dog joined the pack, but there was some­thing different about this dog: she needed people.

So the dog made its home in Finley Center and formed friend­ships rapidly. The first was Gail Neumann, who fed it two raw hamburgers , with rolls. Miss Neuman could not, however, take the dog home with her, and so the small brown mongrel was still without a home.

I t next caught the attention of S tuar t Green, who developed a s t rong liking for both the dog and Miss Neumann. He too, how­ever, could not give the dog a home.

Former Council member Dona Seiden agreed to take the dog home with her, and to take it to a veterinarian. She named it Carla Fi tzgera ld Seiden after Student Government President Carl Weitzman. Her roommates w o e less than pleased, though, and thei r male cat, Alice, was far from pleased.

After one week of security, Carla was back on campus.

Green again resumed respon­sibility, and with the help of Gary Schmidt and Je r ry Ostroff, searched for a room in the Finley Center to keep her in. Sororities turned them down. Fraterni t ies turned them down. SG President Carl Weitzman refused to recog­nize her a t a Student Council meeting (she could not muster the required two-thirds vote ne­cessary for seat ing) .

With the prospect of a four-day Thanksgiving weekend ahead, Green became desperate. He took Carla to the home of President Buell G. Gallagher, where Carla

spen t the weekend, troubled only by a mild intestinal' disorder.

Monday night Carta slept in the Student Government office for want of a bet ter place. A pas­sing porter noticed her barking, and called the ASPCA.

Carla was saved by a friendly Burns Guard, who refused to al­

low the ASPCA on campus, fear ­ing vivisection.

John Johnson, a member of the Center's custodian staff, who also designs dresses, agreed to keep the dog in his Greenwich Village apar tment for the rest of i ts na­tura l life.

Cagers' Foes (Continued from Page 4)

HUNTER (83-54) — The Beav­ers play Hunter in the first round of the CUNY Elimination Tour­nament, and should have no trouble winning. Hunter 's main lack is height, as their center, junior Harry Barile, is 6-2. Their other s tar ters as of now figure to be 6-0 Pete Klein, 5-11 Neil Morton 5-11 Barry Zucker-man and 6-2 Al Brooks. A laugher.

BROOKLYN (59-58) — The Beavers had trouble against the Kingsmen's zone defense last sea­son, and had to scramble back from a*large defecit to win. This season, the Lavender should do much better. One of Brooklyn's top scorers, Barry Smolev, broth­er of the Beavers' I ra Smolev, who graduated last year, has an injured r ight hip and may not be in top shape for the Lavender. At center is the tallest player in Brooklyn College's history, 6-8 Mike Hyman. At forward, the

Kingsmen are set with Tony Kra-vitz and Barry Goldsmith, but the backcourt is shaky. This game could go either way, bu t the Beavers should win because of a bet ter bench.

QUEENS (62-54) — The Knights will be troubled by inex­perience as they try to improve on last year 's 11-10 record. Their height is located in 6-4 center Steve Safran, and their scoring in guard Sid Resnick, who aver­aged 12.0 points per game last season. Roman Czula, a goalie on the Queens soccer team, will prob­ably s ta r t a t the other back-court position, but does not score much more in basketball than he does in soccer. Larry Zolot and Fred Thaler, both of whom saw little action last season, f igure to play up front, unless 5-10 Mark Beinart gets the nod. The Beavers should not have too much trouble here.

Cross Country (Continued from Page 4)

The victory pat tern was reestab­lished the next week, though, in a victory over New York Uni­versity.

On election day, the harriers took seventh place in the Metro­politan Championships, even though J im O'Connell brought his own College record down to 25:18 and seven Beavers broke th i r ty minutes for the first time in the College's history. After that , the hill 'n dalers absorbed thei r second loss of the season, this time to a highly favored Manhattan College team by the heart-breaking score of 26-29. Coach Francisco Castro was to call this meet the squad's "best effort."

After that , the City University and CTC Championships were easy wins. The IC4A's found the Beav­ers in with the finest, yet they wound up seventh. Two extra meets , the Senior Mets, and Na­tional A.A.U.'s, were added to the schedule more as an exer­cise to see how well Jim O'Con­nell would do than anything else.

After O'Connell, coming in for special praise a re Abe Assa and

Gus Marinos, numbers two and three on the squad. Assa broke the B.O. (Before O'Connell) Col­lege five-mile mark, and Mar i ­nos was a reliable runner all season.

When asked his reactions to his team's year, Castro summed u p everything well with his usual laconic style by remarking " I 'm satisfied." Due to Castro's usual pessimism, though, this is t a n t a ­mount to his stamp of approval.

The har r ie rs ' year, without question, was a successful one. They managed to improve upon their previous i-ecord of 4-4. They managed to establish a new Col­lege mark with a record number of men under thirty minutes.

But success is relative. One can say tha t the harr iers ' per­formance was adequate only be­cause no one expected very much from them a t the beginning of the season. The College has rea* son to be proud of them, jus t aa a mother still loves a son even though he hasn' t set the world on fire as she had hoped. The Beavers were far too busy being a ball of sweat to be a ball of fire a t Van Cortlandt P a r k this fall.

Beavers Open At Adelphi Tonight; Morales Out With Broken Ankle

The sixtieth season of basketball at the College begins tonight at Adelphi University, as the Beavers take on the Panthers in a replay of the first game ever for these two teams.

Exactly sixty years ago to the ,,,,,:v,,,,.̂ ^̂ ^

vlay, the Lavender played its first basketball game and defeated Adelphi. 28-22. Since that time, tli'' !!<•:.*<'»>• have won 612 K;tm*v I'.̂ .-iin.-i •'•!!!> losses.

OPrediction .. . The morning line lists Adelphi

as a five point favorite over the Heavers. They must be kidding. The pick here is the Lavender iiH-60.

Don Morales Breafcti Ankle

phi has won eight of the fifteen games played between the two

teams. Last season, the Panthers overcame a fourteen point deficit in the second half to defeat the Beavers in overtime, 77-76.

Tonight, the Beavers will be jneeting a vastly inferior Panther squad to the ones they have been encountering in recent years. Steve Mall is, the second best scor­er in Panther history, has g r a d \ uated and Don Morales, a rugged 6-1 junior who led Adelphi in scoring with 16.5 points-per-game, will miss the game because of a broken ankle. Morales is not expected back until February, and his loss seriously dampens any hopes the Panthers have of re­peating or bettering last season's 16-9 mark.

The Beavers ai'e in good phys­

ical shape for their opening game. They will have a distinct height advantage over the Panthers , whose tallest s ta r te r is 6-3. Adel­phi may throw a press against the Beavers, and this could cause some trouble.

Game time is 8 PM with a freshman game preceding at 6 PM.

To commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of Beaver and Pan­ther basketball, pre-game cer­emonies will be held. Expected to attend are Nat Fleischer, edi­tor of The Rin(/ magazine and

The College's fencing team, year after year, is success ful against some of the top teams in the country and, de- wmm^~m'm^^~^ spite the loss of five of last season's top parriers, there is Rei)laii no reason to expect why this year should be any dif­ferent.

It is again that time of year when it becomes necessary to deliver the annual State-of-the-Cross-Country Squad ad­dress. This is the annual essay that tries to answer that basic question, dear to every true Beaver heart, as to who, the quick Lavender fox, or those deceptively lazy enemy dogs, was the more success-full in negotiating Van Cort­landt Park's five mile Ceme­tery Hill layout over the past two months.

Jus t by drawing on the won-lost column, it must be surmised tha t once again, for the ump­teenth time, the fox easily hand­led the dog. The harr iers , with a 6-2 record and- two champion­ships in their pockets, certainly were, at the very least, "repre­sentative." However, when the Beavers stepped out of their league, they were promptly thrashed.

ord. are Frank Appice, ' Aaron Marcus, Stan Lefkowitz, Barry Cohen and Richie Weininger.

The departure of Appice and Marcus is a serious blow to thr ^ahre team, which will now be f-d by seniors Joe Cliovannie'lo, :.H\ Neville Duncan, and juniors T'>m Keller and Kd Lucia Jr .

The epee team is the hardest it of all. as Lefkowitz. who cap-

i j red third place in the Interc^i-i^giate Fencing Championships i ?st season, has left. Alar: Da-7- I'm. will probably be number MI-; e]> v competition this y<\v.\ \ ith Hob Ciiernick. Wait Roser,-i r;tt and Joet Spielberg !>ar«;,".,c

The foi! team is the bos?' s:a"'-• o<i of the three. It is headed :»y {.Teorge Weinei, captain of trie parriers for the second yea; '" i. row. and Steve Bernard. Berr-rrd 's clutch win in last seaso?-'> fitial meet against Navy, gave the parriers their most satisfy-incr victory. 14-IS.

Tfie following ix a team-by-team parentheses are the scares of last first.

COLUMBIA (82-86) — With 7-0 sophomore Dave Newmark at center, and 6-5 John Dema and 6-8 John Harms at the forwards, the Lions have a plethora of height up front. The backcourt is sound with Ken Benoit and Stan Feisinger, last year 's high scorer with a 20.5 average. Columbia should be able to challange Prin­ceton and Cornell for the Ivy League title this year, and will probably prove too much for the Beavers.

AMERICAN UNIVERSITY — The Eagles are also able to boast :, seven footer on their squad, s^ohoinore Art Beatty, but have very little else. AU. which had a 4-10 record last season, is led by T'>ny Jiorle. a 6-0 guard who scored 11.1 points per game last year, nnd 6-S Gary Horkey, who averaged l^.fi points and 12.6 re-hounds per game as a freshman ir, 1964. Horkey set a freshman scoring mark of 41 points and :>•]; one short of the AU relx>und na rk with •>! last year. Unless piaymg in Washington bothers the Beavers, they should chalk up a win against the Eagles.

C. W. POST — Due to grad-ution. injuries and ineligibility, all five of last vear*s s tar ter*

rundoim of the fimt half of the Beavers' schedule. The figures in years meeting between the two teams, with the Beavers' score listed

have left the Post team. A lack of height should prove a serious problem for the Pioneers, as their center, Ronny Torrente, is only 6-4. Guards Al Berlowitz

Dave Newmark Columbia's (riavt

Mike Levine and forward Jack Collins lead this year's team, which would be fortunate to break even this season. Last year. Post was 17-6, but t in ; season, a Lavender victory is probable.

BRIDGEPORT (70-57)— Bridge­port was fortunate not to lose many from la£t season's team due to graduation. The Purple Knights are led by forward Bill O'Dowd, centers Dave Emott and Howie Ross, and guard Joe Dwyer. Both Emott , a t 6-6, and Ross, at 6-5, possess the height necessary for the pivot, but Bridgeport is weak on outside shooting and on the bench. The Beavers should have no trouble here, unless they are victims of overconfklence.

OSWEGO STATE — This is the first meeting between Os­wego and the Beavers since 1011. when the Lavender won. 2.'i-lS. The Lakers are paced by 6-5 Rich Kohler, who compiled a 15.J scoring and lo.6 rel>ounding aver­age. Another returnee who should give the Lavender trouble is a slick 6-2 fonvard named Bernie Fuller, who converted ~.\r'< of his field goal a t tempts last year. Oswego coach John Glinski has been toying with a zon^ defense this season, and this couid give the Beavers trou­ble. The leakers have height and speed, but th* Beavers will be playing at home. A toss-up.

J im O'Connell Beavers' Best

\ \orse than those of the premier runners. This characteristic was firmly established in the first meet, and eventually evolved into a Beaver t rademark as the sea­son went along. In tha t first match, a 15-49 mauling of the Panthers of Adelphi, the third and fourth finishers for the Lav­ender were two sophomores, Alan Hansen and Neil Leibowitz. These two quickly established the key roles they would play during the season.

Next, the harriers beat both Fairleigh Dickinson and Queens in a dual match. Balance, once again, was the key component of the 27-28 victory over FDU, as Neil Leibowitz' tenth place gave the Lavender the victory. Montclair St. was "easy pick-ins," as five Beavers broke into the under-thirty minutes circle.

Next, Kings Point fell 24-31. However, only seventeen seconds, crucially spaced, tipped the scales in favor of the Lavender. The following week, in a tr ian­gular meet, the Beavers finally tasted defeat, as they bowed to lona and Central Connecticut State, two highly-rated squads.
