by Prue WearThis weekend, in one o f the

• final large-scale observances of Saint Mary’s College 125th Anniversary, St. M ary’s brought t o g e t h e r a p a n e l o f widely-known national and in ternational scholars for the L a n g u a g e / S y m b o l / R e a l i t y Sym posium on semantics and symbolism.

National a t ten t io n had been focused on the event with the d is tr ibution of Symposiumbrochures, and, far in advance o f its beginning, a greater-than-ex- pected response was received.

T h e m o s t n a t i o n a l l ywell-known o f the panelmembers, Dr. S.I. Hayakawa, President o f San Francisco State College, spoke on Friday night in O ’Laughlin A uditorium.

The lecture was on “The Symbolic Processes o f the Mentally Retarded Child” and m uch o f Hayakawa’s speech was an account o f his personal experience with his 20 year old mentally retarded son Mark.

A fter tw o days o f deliberation and after finding o u t tha t there was no one stupid enough on either cam pus to want his job , Observer editor, Guy De Sapio

decided no t to an nounce his resignation at the staff meeting on Friday.

His a n n o un cem en t was greet­ed with shock and dismay by the s taff who had already collected $23.32 for an office poll bett ing on how long the nex t ed ito r would last.

Instead De Sapio announced a basic restructuring o f the paper which he sta ted , “ would provide for the continued grow th of T h e O b s e r v e r in a m a n n e r which would assure con tinu ity from year to year .”

At the same time De Sapio announced a num ber o f new editorial appo in tm en ts .

The new organization would decentralize the s truc ture o f the paper allowing night editors a greater degree o f part ic ipation in the editorial direction o f the paper. Each night ed ito r will serve as his ow n editorial page editor, l ie will have the leeway

One ou ts tand ing po in t was tha t Mark, unlike those w ho are “ norm al” , has “ unusually direct re lationships with experience” . He felt this s tem m ed from M ark’s lack o f self-conscious­ness, a level o f abstrac tion beyond Mark’s abilities.

Mark, he said, had created a “ non-symbolic sys tem ” which gave him an unprejudiced view of the world. He said, “The same words by which we move up to higher levels o f abstrac tion are the ones which divide us u p .”

Relating the difficulties Mark had in com prehending the meaning o f the everyday symbols, Hayakawa a t tem p ted to show tha t the “ norm al person” speaks his language unconcious o f the levels of symbolism in it. In add it ion , he impressed upon the audience th a t the sym bols in ou r language and in our though t processes play a great part in determining ou r a t t i tu des tow ard the world around us.

to speak ou t on issues tha t he feels are significant.

The layout o f the editorial page will change in o rder to allow for this expression. The Observer will no t necessarily run editorials in every eight page paper. When it d oesn ’t the editorial slot will be filled by the. night ed ito r with a colum n tha t does no t carry full Observer endorsem ent.

The O bserver as an en ti ty will still speak ou t on issues. A new editorial board was established which will research and write Observer editorials. These will be run if approved by majority vote o f the board. When they are run they w ill 'Tepresen t” the senti­ment o f The Observer.

“ The change was necessary,” De Sapio said, “ to emphasize what I felt the nature o f The O bserver should be. It is no longer a one or tw o man operation. The Observer does no t belong to the ed ito r or the publisher. It belongs to the staff. It would be d ifferent if The O bserver was a business. But it is more than that . It has to be run

T he opening speech was given by Indiana Third District Congressman Jo h n Brademas, a m em ber o f the St. Mary’s Board o f Trustees.

Meyer Schapiro, an au th o r i ty on early Christian and medieval a r t , U n ivers i ty Professor teaching in the D epartm ent o f Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University, spoke on “ Some Aspects o f the Pictorial Image as Symbol and as R epresen ta tion .”

T he d irec tor o f the Princeton U n i v e r s i t y A n t h r o p o l o g y Program, African language scholar David Crabb spoke at 3 :0 0 p.m. The topic o f his discussion was “ Preliminaries to a theory o f language as Symbolic ‘O f and F o r ’ Reali ty .”

T h e Saturday morning s p e a k e r s w e r e F r e n c h novelist-critic Michel Butor and K a r l M e n n i n g e r , M .D ., co-founder o f the Menninger F ou nd a tio n and Clinic.

Speaking in the field o f li terature, Butor lectured on “ Words in Western Painting” . One o f the best representatives o f the New Novel in France, he has visited this coun try only twice before to teach at Bryn Mawr and at Middlebury.

A full house greeted Dr. Karl Menninger, no ted psychiatrist and national figure. His lecture was on “ Words as W eapons.”

Dr. H ayakawa made only one reference to college politics. He mentioned th a t “ The hippies are awfully nice to Mark. They approach him naturally . They know he can’t talk o r sing well, bu t they a t te m p t to avoid

response to the th ir teen union strike against General Electric. The CPA charged tha t the university by allowing recruiting to take place on cam pus is supporting managem ent in the dispute.

Friday saw the leafleting o f ten South Bend factories and the same process will be repeated this morning and this a fte rnoon .

The CPA has also been in contac t with union officials o f the In ternational U nion o f Electrical Workers (1UEW) with an a tm osphere described as “ very coopera tive .”

Some union mem bers will be part o f the discussion groups which are expected to rise informally ou t o f the s tudent picket lines.

Depending on the n u m ber and nature o f the s tuden ts involved, the picket lines may be either i n s i d e o r outs ide the adminis tration building. A letter will also be sent to the GE recruiter when he shows up.

The Sym posium was officially opened on Friday by Sister M. Basil A n tho ny , Vice President for Fiscal Affairs, w ho in the

. absence o f St. M ary’s President Fr. Jo h n J. McGrath, delivered the welcoming speech.

A fte rnoon speakers were Paul Ricoeur, Dean o f the Faculty o f Letters and H um an Sciences at t h e U n i v e r s i t y o f P a r i s , a n d R o m a n J a k o b s o n , w orld-renowned linguist from Harvard University and MIT.

A sum m ation was given Sunday morning by Rulon Wells, o f Yale University and T hom as Sebeok, Sym posium consultant, Indiana University.

that in form ation from union people concerning o th e r aspects o f GE w ould be available on Tuesday.

He added this inform ation would discuss the criminal acts he claimed tha t GE has been o r

is being indicted for, such as their refusal to negotiate in good faith , with the union.

Roickle contended tha t the university is engaged in s t r i k e b r e a k i n g a c t i v i t i e s recruiting is a violation o f object o f a strike which is a “ stoppage o f all norm al funct ions o f the struck co m p an y .”

“ The university which is supposedly trying to remain neutral is, in effect, helping them in some part o f their cam pany ac tiv ity ,” he said.

The CPA last Tuesday sent a le t te r to Fa the r llesburgh dem anding th a t the em p lo ym en t interviews no t be held while the strike is going on. University officials refused to cancel the interviews, and the planned protest was born.

Roickle related tha t the IUEW due to its AFL-CIO mem bership is receiving suppor t from o the r AFL-CIO unions.

S tuden t Body President Phil McKenna, who signed the CPA letter sent to Hesburgh, com m ented on the role o f the s tuden ts in the GE strike.

T h e crea tion o f the Sym pos ium was the result o f a growing awareness th a t symbols o f one sort o r a n o th e r influence every aspect o f o u r lives and thoughts . It was designed to in troduce and integrate a variety o f new and valuable ideas co n ce rn in g sym bols fromd i f f e r e n t t r a d i t io n s anddisciplines.

The Sym posium was a t tended by educat ional, business, and political figures from all parts o f the cou n try . Many dis tan t c o l l e g e s s e n t s t u d e n trepresentatives.

s tuden ts no t to do a certain thing, then the s tud en ts should no t do this. The vanguard o f the labor m ovem ent is the workers

no t the s tu d e n ts ,” he said.McKenna also discussed the

reasons behind a s tuden t-w orker a l l i a n c e ra th e r than a s tuden t-m anagem ent alliance.

“ The in terests o f s tu den ts are much more similar to the in terests o f workers than management. Most s tuden ts when they graduate from here are no t going to be part o f management. S tuden ts are som ew hat oppressed as are w orkers ,” he said.

“ Workers are no t the ones who get the benefits from big profits. The workers are enti tled to the majority o f benefits the com pany derives from their p ro d u c t io n ,” he added.

McKenna said he did no t feel the “ majority o f N otre Dame s tuden ts were co m m it ted to revolutionary social change” so the GE strike would have litt le effect on them.

Roickle con tended tha t the university is engaged instr ikebreaking activities for recruiting is a violation o f th e object of a strike which is a “ stoppage o f all normalfunc tions o f the struckc o m p an y .”

T he paintings were very co lor­ful and imaginative. To this visitor, they displayed tha t cer­tain percep t ion , at once b o th naive and omniscient, th a t only a child could capture.

In re lated matters, the position o f the English T A ’s was endorsed by several departm en ts th rough their representatives.

Despite this suppor t from a nu m ber o f quarters, th e GSU as a whole will no t make any s ta tem en t concerning the TA

In discussing o th e r faculty privileges which the organization feels should be ex tended to g raduates w ho do the work of teaching, King plans to contact the library regarding borrowing policy and will rep o r t back at a

The Jun io r Parents weekend, March 13, 14, and 15 has been res truc tured and given a new form at, breaking seventeen years o f tradit ion .

Previous Weekends have s ta r t­ed with parents a ttend ing their son’s classes on Saturday m orn ­ing and ending with a d inner in Stepan Center.

This year, according to Jim D ’Aurora, one o f the organizers o f the Weekend, Juniors are hoped to be excused from Satur­day classes. Instead, s tudents and parents would meet with faculty from all fo u r major colleges on Saturday morning.

Rich L inquanti , who is in charge o f this aspect o f the program, com m en ted on the change.

“ We would like to relate, to parents, what their son is doing in school with som ething con­crete. We would tell them what his major is abou t and how he can apply his studies to it ,” he said.

Instead o f a reception o n Sat­urday af te rnoon , there will be a discussion o f cu rren t events t o p ­ics; life on campus, the black s i t u a t i o n , co-education , and o thers. This part o f the program w a s in aug u ra ted because a teach-in held last year on the main quad during the Weekend, a t t rac ted m any parents.

Also Saturday , if enough halls have developed Hall Fellows p ro ­grams, a luncheon might be held in the residence halls, allowing parents to meet the Fellows. L inquanti po in ts ou t that this would p rom o te a m ore informal, relaxed a tm osphere . Fo r those s tuden ts in halls with no Fellows program, a luncheon for s tud ­en ts and parents will be held in the dining halls.

The tradit ional presidential dinner, highlighted by a speech by F a th e r Hesburgh, will con­clude S a tu rd ay ’s activities.The weekend will close Sunday with a b runch , masses, and pos­sibly a non-denom inat ional ser­vice.

He also said th a t he would seek fou r “ f loating” seats, the occupants o f which could be eligible to be replaced each meeting. A ccord­

in g to th e proposal, o ne o f the seats would be occupied by an appoin tee o f the G radua te S tud ­en t Union, one w ould be occu ­pied by an appo in tee of the S tuden t Body President, and tw o would be occupied by s tudents elected from the Stud en t Senate.

“ If the subject o f discussion was Academic Affairs ,” said McKenna in explaining the deci­sion to push for changeable, s tu den t trustees , “ I ’d like to have the comm issioner o f A cade­mic Affairs there . If the discuss­ion is off-campus housing, I ’d like to have the comm issioner o f off-campus housing th e re .”

McKenna had previously a t ­tem pted to get positions on th e : full board o f Trustees fo r h im ­self, vice-president Fred Dedrick, Afro-American Society President Art McFarland, and G raduate S tud en t Union head Jam es King.

Whatever the decision o f the subcom m ittee is, King will no t be on the board . The G raduate S tudent Union Friday elected tw o mem bers to represent them on the board o f trustees. They are: Dave Folts , a G overnm ent major, and Jean Quenneville.

Hockey scrimmage reveals potent Irish offenseby Don KennedyObserver Sports Writer

Mr. G oerner’s St. T hom as Moore Experim ental College idea is finally and irrevocably dead. G eorner, one o f those teachers most widely respected by undergraduates at N otre Dame, w rote in exasperation to Fr. Sheedy recently tha t the Experim ental College subcom m ittee o f the Curriculum Revision C om m ittee need n o t defer to his proposal any longer nor be troubled by his tho rn in their side. G oerner refused to play the sort o f politics needed to gain acceptance for his proposal, and knowing tha t w ithout doing so he was doom ed , accepted defeat, and cou n ted himself out.

What a relief! Now we can get back to keeping up with the latest mental gymnastics in ou r fields to winning a place for ourselves am ong the professionals. Indeed, in three, four years, we to o can become professionals, if only now we can keep in check the groaning o f our spirit, and discipline ou r minds to fight its repulsion o f the pallid fodder which it must become accustom ed to eat, and eat, and eat.

It was an easy victory. A coed residential college (faculty and studen ts living together co m m un ity fashion!) geared tow ard s tudents leading examined lives, philosophical lives o f w onder and questioning in Socratic fashion. How impractical! What firm would fund it! What kind o f a job could you get with that!

Besides it is just n o t w h a t’s going on. We’d end up like O ’Malley, Sniedgowski, Duffy , Walsh, and Dunne, all making less than 20 thousand per year. Or G oerner himself, teaching freshman government and driving a VW bus af ter how many years?

Lucky G oerner isn’t a pow er politics man; th a t m ade things easier. He’s to o used to philosophy; to jus t presenting ideas and trusting that the t ru th in them will touch and move men. No Grand Inquisitor was needed to down his proposal, so defenselessly offered. It was doom ed from the start.

T oo bad ab o u t him though. He d id n ’t ac t as sprightly as he might; d id n ’t bounce back like a good loser should. In fact, he to o k the whole thing p re t ty hard. You see his eyes? Looked like h e ’d never

speak o f such things again.And in place o f St. Thom as Moore we have a nice litt le

experim ent tha t will keep the boys happy and keep things moving in the right direction, moving in a direction where there is a fu ture . I t ’s Nice and sp icy -a little sex, lots o f McLuhan stuff, some com puters p rogramming, a litt le dabbling in cybernetics , and some collage making. It will really be different. And practical. Being only a year long, s tuden ts w o n ’t be to o affected by it and will be able to easily fit back in to their normal d e pa r tm en t programs af ter it is completed.

G oerner forgets we have a pluralistic com m un ity here. N o t all of us are in terested in unders tanding ourselves and struggling with his u lt im ate questions; with reflections on life and death , suffering and sacrifice, loneliness and revelation, insight and confusion. Some o f us came here to get an education .

Things get tight in halls at times; he has a point there. It isn’t like home. But guys seem to get through. Let them go o u t and lay one on once in a while. I t ’s not the greatest so lu tion , bu t it helps them kick the depression and get back to their work. T h e y ’ll be glad for living through it later.

Neither the first tw o defensive units (J im Morin-Bill Green and Mark Longar-Mark S teinborn) n o r n e tm in d e r T om asoni displayed the form th a t will be needed to hold d ow n such o f fens iv e pow erhouses as Wisconsin and Boston College as the Whites broke th rough for three quick breakaways early in the first period. F reshm an Paul Regan and Soph Kevin Hoene tallied on tw o o f them , with Mike Bonk and Jo h n Rosselli upping it to 4-0 by the middle o f the period. A fter the midway point, however the action seemed to even o u t as bo th teams proceeded to display what could be a p o ten t Irish offense for the upcom ing season.

Second-string goalie Chris Catchcart p ro tec ted the White lead with some fine split saves, until freshman Ricky Cunha slipped one undernea th his pads at 2 :58 o f the second period. Taking the cue from Cunha, wingers Jo h n Womack and Adam Stelmaszynski o f the Blue squad added tw o more to make it 5-3 for the Whites at the end o f tw o periods o f play.

T w o periods o f fast-moving hockey will take its toll on a te a m , especially when tha t team has been divided in to tw o opposing teams. C onsequently , excep t fo r a flurry o f shots tow ards the finish, most o f the third period action was slow-moving and dull as all four offensive lines were p re t ty much exhausted . C a th ca r t’s play seemed to deter io ra te as

Womack and defenseman Mark Longar beat him o n close-in shots; conversely, T o m ason i’s play steadily improved as the evening progressed. He ended the n ight with 32 saves as opposed to C a th ca r t’s 27, a l though allowing seven goals to his o p p o n e n t ’s five. The Irish “ V eteran Line” (sophs Joe Bonk and Kevin Hoene team ed with ju n io r Jo h n Roselli) accoun ted for five o f the White t e a m ’s seven goals, Roselli and Hoene b o th ne tt ing tw o each and Bonk garnishing with tw o assists, including one tha t set up his younger b ro th e r Mike for the th ird White goal.

Assistant Coach Tim McNeill com m en ted tha t the failures o f the first tw o lines o f defense

“ worries him the m o s t” and tha t changes may be for thcoming. O therwise b o th he and Head Coach “ L ef ty” Sm ith are pleased with the progress o f the Ir ish’s offensive a t tack and bo th feel tha t the goaltending, a lthough displaying sporadic weaknesses last night, will be a key fac to r in m any a game this season.

Saturday night m arks the beginning o f regular season play for the N otre Dame sextet as they take to the ice at home against the “ Lancers” from the University o f Windsor. Game time has been moved up to 7 :30 so as n o t to conflic t with the later telecast o f the Georgia Tech-N otre Dame game from Atlanta .

Frosh offenseThe Irish freshmen were

unable to get their offense going for the second straight game this year and bow ed to Michigan S tate 2 1 — 7 last Saturday at East Lansing. In an almost incredible perform ance , the y oung Spartans threw ND ru n ­ners fo r 113 yards in losses for a final tally o f 43 Irish carries for a n e t 21 yards.

T hrough the air, N o tre Dame was m ore successful, completing 7 o f 26 passes for 102 yards. Willie T ow nsend scored the only ND to u ch do w n in the third peri­od on an 18-yard pass from Jim

Bulger, with Mike Creaney mak­ing good on the PAT.

The big man o f MSU was Jesse Williams from Bellefon- taine, Ohio, who ram bled for 186 yards in 24 carries, including a 71 -scoring dash which opened the scoring in the first quarter. R ich Salani caught a 27-yard scoring pass from Brad Van Pelt and Gail Clark capped the day by stealing o ne o f Bulger’s th row s and going 88 yards to score.

N otre Dame closes the fresh­man season next Saturday at hom e against Michigan.

Prostitutes to combatLOS ANG ELES ( U P l ) - A

Southern Baptist publica tion has facetiously proposed sending o n ­ly married soldiers in to batt le and allowing th em to spend a lternate weeks behind the fron t with their wives to help com bat venereal disease in Vietnam.

“ Perhaps we ought to send in to batt le zones only married men whose wives can accom ­pany th e m to a relatively safe zone near the batt le area, and then men could spend a week on the front line and a week at h o m e .”

The editorial said, “ The good

general must have been suffering from batt le fatigue when he made his suggestion.

“ If the only way to com bat VD is provide proper sexual partners fo r servicemen then perhaps the general ought to consider an o th e r possibil ity ,” the publication said.

T he suggestion was m ade by the California Southern Baptist after Brig. Gen. David E. T hom as, the A rm y ’s to p medical officer in Vietnam, recently proposed making pros titu tes a v a i l a b l e a t p o s t e x c h a n g e s a s a n a n s w e r t o t h e rising VD rate.

T hom as hoped th a t Army contro lled houses o f p ros ti tu tion would help lower the VD rate from the present level o f about 2 00 cases per 1,000 servicemen a year in Vietnam.

But the California Southern Baptist, whose ed ito r is J. Terry Young, re to r te d , “ T he VD rate in V ie tnam is shocking.. .but we hardly th ink th e best way to c o m ba t the p ro b lem is to try to provide an antisep t ic a tm osphere for governm ent sponsored moral collapse.”

NDiscenter of molecular studyTwo Nobel prize winners in

chemistry are the intellectual “ f a t h e r s ” o f research into molecular structure at the Uni­versity o f Notre Dame. In fact, since Drs. Derek Barton and Odd llassel have left the field of c o n fo rm a t io n a l analysis tha t earned them the prize, N otre Dame has been one o f the major centers for such research in the world, according to Dr. Ernest L. Eliel, professor o f chemistry.

Eliel, whose interest in con­formational analysis dates back to a 1950 lecture by Barton on the N otre Dame campus, has spent much o f the past 20 years clarifying and measuring p ro p o ­sitions set fo r th by the two pioneers.

Since Eliel knew Barton per­sonally and worked extensively in the field o f conform ational analysis, he was recently asked to write an article ab ou t the tw o Nobel p r iz e -w in n e rs for the m agaz ine “ Science.” In his article, Eliel explains tha t the major im pact o f early research by Barton and llassel was to lift

organic chemistry o ff the flat page and propel it into three d i m e n s i o n s . T echn iques o f m o d e l - b u i l d i n g a n d th ree -d im en s io n a l analysis cre­ated by the pioneers made pos­sible studies o f sugars as well as later research into prote ins and o th e r com plex molecules.

Hassel, a Norwegian working at the University o f Oslo, showed that the s ix - c a rb o n ring c o m m o n in ca rb o h y d ra te s , horm ones, syn thetic fabrics and o the r im portan t molecules is no t a planar hexagon, bu t a z ig -zag s h a p e d , t h r e e - d i m e n s i o n a l figure resembling a modernist ic chair. Between 1930 and 1955 he studied the physical p ro ­perties o f the isolated ring, showing that its simple deriva­tives exist in tw o forms now called “ axial” and “ equa tor ia l .”

Much o f his early research is n o t av a i lab le to American scientists , since it appeared largely in an obscure Norwegian mining Journal. Hassel’s research was in terrup ted for tw o years by the G erm an occupa t ion , when

soldiers closed the University o f Oslo and imprisoned him. Bar­ton , an organic chemist at the Imperial Cb liege o f Science in L ondon , did much o f his revol­u tionary research betw een 1950 and 1960.

At the University o f Notre Dame, Eliel has explored ideas presented by the tw o great chemists, developing their in­sights into exact quanti ta tive measurements. In particular, his research has con tr ibu ted to a detailed set o f tables which tell chemists what p rop o r t io n o f var­ious ringed co m p ou nd s will be in the “ axial” what percentage in the “ equator ia l” form.

S o m e o f t h e e a r l i e s t pioneering work in the area was done by Dr. Frederick D. Ros­sini, also o f N otre Dame, who is now vice president o f research and sponsored programs.

Eliel is the au th o r o r c o - a u t h ­or o f several tex tb oo ks , in­cluding “ Stereochemistry o f Car­bon C om p ou nd s ,” and “ C onfor­mational Analysis.”

DePasqua.. machine kept runningby Terry ShieldsObserver Sports Writer

“ T hey were like a machine. They ju s t k e p t running th rough us.” This was the way Carl De­Pasqua, P i t t ’s head coach des­cribed the Fighting Irish after they des troyed an improved Pan­ther squad 4 9 - 7 at P itt S ta­dium.

T here really w asn’t m uch quest ion a b o u t the o u tcom e from the s tar t as Mike C ro t ty almost b roke loose on the kick- o ff and managed to pick up 39 yards to P i t t ’s 45. It to o k the Irish six plays to move in from there. D enny Allan did the h o n ­ors from four yards ou t, to please th e entire Allan clan w ho made th e tr ip from Ashtabula , Ohio to see the game.

Pitt d id n ’t exact ly play bad af te r the first ND to uch do w n . They m arched all th e way dow n to the ND five-yard line before Bob Olson and friends stiffened against P i t t ’s effective swing pas­ses.

T he Irish then com m enced their longest drive o f th e day as they covered 95 yards in eleven plays fo r the tally. T he big plays here were shor t passes by Joe Theism ann to Bill Barz and the big strike to T om G atew ood who b roke th ree tackles on a 29-yard scoring play.

T he Panthers gave th e 4 4 ,084 fans the ir biggest thrill o f the day w hen they to o k the ensuing k ickoff and paraded 72 yards for the first score against the Irish after eight quarters o f sh u to u t football . Once again it was Jim Friedl’s short passes th a t h u r t the Irish along w ith a 35-yard b om b to George Medich which

set up the score. On a third-and- five play, Friedl h it Steve Moyer, P i t t ’s leading receiver for the score and a litt le over half the stadium was in bedlam (subway alum ni and ND s tuden ts made up th e o the r half).

The q u a r te r ended with Notre Dame ahead 1 4 - 7 , b u t Theis­m ann, voted the gam e’s most ou ts tand ing player, was jus t warming up for a game which he called ‘the m os t fun I ’ve had in a long t im e .” A fte r an exchange o f punts , the team th a t DePas­qua called “ a m achine” w ent in to high gear. The “ S ou th River R o ad ru n n e r” kep t th e Panter defense guessing as he mixed his plays well and let Allan, Ed Ziegler and Bill Barz carry the load unti l they reached the Pitt 29. F ro m here Theism ann ran and passed to A ndy H uff fo r the final yardage. The score came on a 10-yard pass to Huff, and for all practical purposes it was N otre D am e’s ballgame. The Irish moved in tw o more times before intermission. Allan and G atew ood each added an o th e r to u ch d o w n in the process. The half time score was 3 5 —7.

When the second half began, rain, wind, darkness and above all, cold w eather drove m any fans to the exits. The first team stayed in the game for o ne more score. This time Ed G ulyas was the hero as he re tu rned a p u n t 32 yards to the P it t 22. It too k th e starters only three plays to score as Allan ran 18 yards for his th ird tou chd ow n .

When the second team came on the field, everyone was lo ok ­ing for Bill E tte r , w ho held an 11 -yard plus per carry average before the game. A lthough he

was held to “ o n ly ” 31 yards in four carries, he still managed to delight the fans with a 26-yard keeper fo r a touch do w n . This made the score 4 9 —7.

T h a t ’s the way the score re­m ained as the fo u r th q ua r te r was played in a gloom y mist. And although the second team moved the ball well they co u ldn ’t add any more points.

A fte r the game coach Ara Parseghian said th a t he was “ quite pleased we w o n .” He paid tr ibu te to DePasqua and a game group o f Panthers w ho he felt were “ a greatly improved ball club. If they would have go t ten a few m ore breaks it might have been a d ifferent s to ry .” Ara was impressed w ith the Irish ground game (355 yards) and also with Jo e Theism ann w ho com ple ted 9 —11 passes fo r 126 yards. Joe

now holds a com ple tion mark o f 59.2% on the season and this is a record pace. The only so u r no te fo r the Irish was the fact tha t the defense lost its sh u to u t string.

DePasqua said “ N otre Dame was everything I expec ted .” When asked w hy he d id n ’t go for

A Sob Story

Third straight homec

© IN I. Los Angeles Times

We bring you today the s tory behind the story on the making of the memoirs o f F. Stanley S tuffshot , the w o rld ’s tallest rich kid, w ho m ade more m oney filling baskets th an the grape industry . The memoirs, en ti t led , “ N obo dy Knows The T rouble I’ve Seen” were prepared in con junc tion w ith Sporty I l lustrations’ magazine ace collaborator, Jo h a th an Wasp.

As we look in, the tape recorder is going and F. Stanley is quietly sobbing in to it. He is on his th ird Kleenex as we tun e in:

F. Stanley: First o f all, there was this chick w ho w o u ld n ’t dance w ith me y ’know ? So we w ent right ou t to blow up B attery Park or s tart World War III. I mean, a fellow d oesn ’t have to pu t up with THA T, does he?

Wasp: Y o u ’re so right! I rem em ber once this girl w o u ld n ’t dance with me, either.

F. Stanley: So y o u w ent o u t and puched in some store windows, right?

Wasp: Well, no, w hat I did was, I w ent to a movie. R uby Keler was in it.

F. Stanley: ’Course, I ’m surprised she would tu rn dow n a m em ber o f the Wasp family. Did she object to y o u r religion o r politics?

Wasp: No. She objected to r jy s i z e -5 feet I . See, she was wearing high heels. ’Course, they c o u ld n ’t use th a t excuse with YOU, Stuff. Y o u ’re 9 feet tall.

F. Stanley (sighing): Yeah. T hen , on top o f th a t , I had to pu t up with all these offers f rom all over the coun try . I mean, like, it gives y ou a headache trying to decide which $10 ,000 w orth o f free educat ion to accept.

Wasp: I was lucky, I d id n ’t have th a t trouble . I had to go where you could take a streetcar. We co u ld n ’t afford board and room , too . Did you have the same trouble?

F. Stanley: Well, no. But I did have to pick some place where I could approve o f the coach. And th a t ’s no t as easy as it sounds. And, like, I d id n ’t w ant to live jus t anyw here . I had to have my stereo and a car and all. Wasp: CAR?!

F. Stanley (glowering): Yeah. A second-hand Mercedes I had to take. Maybe THA T d id n ’t burn me up!

Wasp: Where did you scrape up the m oney?F. Stanley: Well, the school paid my way, y ’know . ’Course I

b rough t great h o n o r to th e insti tu tion .Wasp: (eagerly): Let me guess! You invented a mechanical heart?!F. Stanley: No, b u t y o u ’re close. I beat SC. I b roke the school

scoring record. If they had a Nobel Prize fo r basketball, I would have got it.

Wasp: Basketball?!F. Stanley: Yeah. Y ou see, a b o u t 70 years ago this cat up in

Springfield, I forget his name, Dr. Something-Or-Other, invented this game, and if he sat up nights he co u ld n ’t come up with a more perfect game for guys 7 feet tall and over. I m ean, shoot! A n yb od y over 6 ’ 1 1 should play the game blindfolded to be fair to the rest of mankind. I mean, d id n ’t y ou get a scholarship o f nothing?

Wasp: Naw. N obody invented a game for guys 5 ’1. T he only thing I was ever good at was plastic surgery. T hey m ade me pay, so to speak, th rough the nose to do that .

F. Stanley (whistling): Well, never mind, let me tell you , I d id n ’t pick no rose either. The first thing they did when I w en t o u t to this here college is pick the governor o f the state w ithou t consulting me. Went right over my head, the phonies! I could see right aw ay w hat a phony this was. I almost left th em in the lurch. I m ean, they would have lost to Purdue and everything!

Wasp: You must have suffered.F . Stanley: A in’t the word for it. T hen this new spaper guy comes

o u t and interviews me and I tell him the s ta te is a p ho ny , the people are p h on y , the governor is p h on y , and some things, by G o d , be t te r be changed. And guess what?

Wasp: What?F. Stanley: The guy w ent o u t and w ro te a negative story . You

could see he was jus t looking to write a negative story.Wasp: I should say so! A fte r you gave him all those upbea t things

to write about! Some guys have no class. 1 mean, ju s t because the c rum m y taxpayers are pu tt ing up all those buildings and buying all those books and building all those basketball arenas and paying those salaries and landscaping the ground and subsidizing the hospital d oesn ’t give them the right to elect a governor. Did you walk out, I hope?

F. Stanley: Well, 1 th ou gh t ab ou t it. But I ju s t tough ted it o u t - in my ow n guest house in the back o f this g u y ’s hom e in the San Fernando Valley. I ju s t figured I’d make do w ith my stereo and Mercedes, bu t I was b it te r , I tell you. I got b it te r every a f te rno on ou t by the swimming pool under the bougainvillea. How I used to dream o f 1 25th Street!

Wasp: Has Society go tten o ff yo u r back?F Stanley (sighing): No. Now I have to play basketball for this

lousy million bucks o r so. But I guess some people are jus t m eant to suffer in this life. I’m jus t glad it happened to som eone like me who can take it.
