HAPPIER DAYS: Ex-President John Zippert ( r ight) button-hol­ing Albany legislator in free tui­tion campaign.

Ex-President John Zippert made some mistakes in his term as Student Government's chief executive, but his resignation this week was not one of them. Mandated by Student Council to enforce a ruling he thought was wrong, against an action he felt was imperative, he could in good faith and .good conscience do nothing else.

The "Vigil," as it turned out, was quiet orderly, and caused no traffic jams. If Student Council had paio more attention to past per­formances and present re­alities instead of devoting itself to legalistic worries about future precedent amd political prejudices, the pres­ent foul-up could have been avoided.

The student body will very soon have a chance to de­cide whether they want Student Government to be a debating club for a group of pre-law students or a vital representative of its inter­ests in the College, the University and the community. John Zippert is 'running again for SG President, and we are con­fident that he will be elected, simply because we are con­fident tfhat the students of this college want a student gov­ernment that is responsive to student needs and desires.

President Joel Cooper, will, we are sure, serve his short term with distinction. We would congratulate him on fin­ally reaching the Presidency, except that it might ba in­terpreted as irony.

HUAC And The Klan The House Un-American Activities Committee's (HUAC)

decision to investigate the Ku Klux Klan has not met with wide approval among- the liberal groups which have been Most opposed to the Klan and all it represents. We don't think it should. HUAC? witch-hunts, whether conducted on the left or the right of American politics, are unneces­sary, unfair, and unconstitutional.

We have a strong suspicion that the investigation of the KKK is inteiided in part to obscure the strong right-wing bias of the Committee. It may. as some have suggested. l>e the prelude to a full stale smear campaign against various civil rights organizations. The Student Non-Violent Co-or-dinaiing (onuniUee (SXCC) has been mentioned most pro-nlnentiy in this regard.

Regardless of its motivation, any investigation conduct­ed by a group with the history, make-up. and staff of HUAC is bound to }>e undesirable.

Ex'feiuhg Coach Dies At 78

Professor James Montague, a former fencing coach a t the Col­lege, died early yesterday. morn­ing at the age of seventy-eight.

Montague, viho came to the United States from London after World War I, came to the Col­lege in 1930 and brought the spor t of fencing with him. When the sport achieved varsi ty status in 1937, he was named as the partners coach. Montague re­mained in that position until his ret i rement in 1953.

Only one year af ter fencing be­came established a t the College, Montague guided his team to the t r iple crown of fencing — the t h ree weapon I FA championship, the Little Iron Man trophy, for the IFA foil title, and the NCAA championships.

Success did not stop there, as 1951 marked the fourth conse­cutive capturing of the Litt le Iron Man Trophy for the College. In 1952, five of his fencers com­peted in the Olympics a t Hel­sinki.

Although Montague- became a successful fencing coach, tha t had not" been his earl ier intentions. He originally planned a career in the theater. Before World War I he had toured the United States

• as the director of a Gilbert and Sullivan company. Montague also sang for Sir Thomas Beecham who later became the conductor of the London Philharmonic.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM Of THE BARREL As everyone knows, thirteen-rtwelftlis of the earth's surface is

water. Thus we can see how important it is to know and under­stand our oceans. Toward this end American colleges last year embarked on a program to increase enrollment in oceanography. I am pleased to report tha t results were nothing short of spectao-ular: In one single semester the number of students majoring in oceanography rose by 100%—from one student to two!

But more oceanographers are still needed, and so today this column, normally a vehicle for slapdash jpcularity, will instead devote itself to a brief course in oceanography.

We begin our study of oceans with tha t ever-popular favorite, the Pacific. Largest of all oceans, the Pacific was discovered by Balboa, a Spanish explorer of great -vision. To give you an idea of Balboa's vision, he first saw the Pacific while standing on a peak in Darien, which is in Connecticut.

The Pacific is not only the largest ocean, but the deepest. The

. the Pacific was discovered by Balboa, a Spanish explorer of great visioii.

Mindanao Trench, off the Philippine Islands, measures more than 5,000 fathoms in depth. (I t should be pointed out here tha t ocean depths are measured in fathoms—lengths of six feet— after Sir Walter Fathom, a British nobleman of Elizabethan times who, upon his eighteenth birthday, was given a string six feet long. Many young men would have sunk in a funk if all they got for their birthday was a string six feet long, but not Sir Walter! String in hand, he scampered around the entire coast of England measuring seawater until1 he was arrested for-loitering. Incidentally, a passion for measuring seems to have run in the family: Fathom's grandnephew, Sir John Furlong, spent all Ms waking hours measuring racetracks until Charles I I had him be­headed in thonor of the opening of the London School of Econom­ics.) (

But I digress. Let us, as the poet Masefield says, go down t o the sea again. (The sea, incidental^ , has ever been a favorite subject for poets and composers. Who does not know and love the man}- robust sea chanties t ha t have enriched our folk music —songs like "Sailing Through Kansas" and "I ' l l Swab Yoiir Deck If You'll Swab' Mine" and "The Artificial Respiration Polka.") -

Eight proposals which would significantly relax controls on political clemoi\strations, publicity regulations, and club activities will be considered at a meeting of the General Faculty Commit­tee on Student Activities (GFC-SA), Friday a t SiQO PM.

The measures, aimed specific­ally at limiting the powers of the GFCSA itself, have been drafted by the steering commit­tee of the newly formed Student Committee for University Re­form (SCUR). SCUR developed following the abortive Vietnam vigil in front of Cohen Library on April 15th.

The vigil had been held in de­fiance of a Student Government ruling of the previous night

.. against demonstrations in front of Cohen Library. The ID cards of participating students were

If you've been sitting tight waiting for just , your kind of car, with just your kind of power, at just your kind of price- wait no longer! Chevrolet It's a bigger* more beautiful car this year. Which is why that handsome silhou­ette could beiTiistaken for cars casting a thousand—even two thousand—dollars more.

Ctevy H. No car so trim has a right to be so thrifty. But thrifty it is, with money-savers like brakes that adjust themselves and a long-lived exhaust system.

Corvair. Ask any '65 Corvair owner how it feels to drive a car with such easy steering, tenacious traction and respon­sive rear-engine power. And be ready to do lots of listening.

Chevelh. This one's got lively looks, spirited power, a softer ride—and remarkable room afop a highly maneuverable wheelbase. No wonder it's today's favorite mid-size car.

HIGH TIME TO TRADE AT TOM CHEVROLET DEAUITS

OB confiscated by members of the Department of Stwjent Life, wh<n claimed that the demonsteators had been blocking the flow of students in front of the library.

In a four-page leaflet, members of SCUR charged that SG mem­bers had wrongly interpreted an GFCSA ruling in reaching their decision. "The steering commit­tee (of SCUR) believes," the leaflet read, "that the Student Council and the Administration of the College must adopt a set

of criteria upon which to jud^a the 'peaceful and ncyi-diartg^ivir Character of future demons^f tions on campus." They went OH to suggest various points fox such judgment — including the pro­vision that the demon stration "allow movement in the hallways and streets on campus . . .'*

SCUR members Steve Cagan, Matty Berkelhammer, Mike Mar-kowitz, Mickey Friedman, and Robert Heisler will present the proposals to GFCSA.

Acceptances Mailed to 3,900 Acceptance notices were sent

out by the College to 3,900 grad­uating high school seniors last week. According to Registrar Robert Taylor, no less than last September's 2,700 nor more than an estimated 2,900 students will enter here as freshmen next term.

Due to a five per cent decrease in the number of high school

graduates this year, the entrance requirement was lowered from a composite academic average and College $oard score of 170 to 166. To compute the student's standing, both his high school average and College Board, scores are translated on a percentage table with each element given equal weight.

Diamondmen Defeut Fuirleigh, 4-1; Lacrosse Team Bows To Stevens

By JERRY HOEMG

A combination of excellent pitching and timely slugging lirought the College's baseball team to a 4-1 victory over Faii-IcigH Dickinson yesterday after­noon at the loser's home field.

The Heavers did not waste any t ime getting on the scoreboard. With Dave Hayes on first base, after leading off the top of the first with a single, Lou Gatti came up with two out and belted the ball over the right center-field fence aud put the Beavers ahead 2-0.

With Howie Smith's perform­ance, that was all the Lavender jieeded for the win. Smith pitched perfect ball for the first five in­n i n g s , and he yielded only lour •bits in the game.

However, not even Smith was satisfied with a two run lead. In the top of second, Barry Edel-s tein walked and then went to second on a balk. Barry Mandel

then sacrificed Edelstein to third. Finally, Smith came up and squeezed Edelstein home.

The Heavers were not through yet. With one out in the top of of the fifth, Steve Beccalori t r ip­led. Gatti then drove in his third run of the game with a deep .sacrifice fly.

The Knights ' lone run came in the bottom of the sixth. Mike Ostroff led off with a walk. Then after Smith retired the next two bat ters on a force out and a

took a rough beating yesterday afternoon, 14-7, at the hands of Stevens Tech in Lewisohn Sta­dium.

From the very beginning, it looked as if it was just not the Heavers' day. Stevens scored four times before the Lavender were able to tally. The first two of those goals were scored by Stan Toreda; lie later went on to score four more times.

The Heavers finally broke their dry spell when Lloyd Smith scored with 1:26 gone in the sec­ond quarter. However, Poreda scored again four minutes later to give Stevens their four goal lead again at 5-1. The end of the half saw Stevens holding the same four point edge but by the score of 7-3.

When the second half opened up, things looked different. The Lavender scored three goals be­fore Stevens was able to score one, and the Beavers narrowed their gap and were only trailing by one.

Fo r the first t ime of the day the Beavers looked as if they were going to make a game of it, but Stevens pulled away again and for good.
