The play is a d ram atic por -trayal of the m urder of Thomas Becket who was consecrated Archbishop of Canterbury in 1162 and held this position un­til his death in 1170. His mur­der w as the resu lt of his ada­m ant refusal to surrender ad­ditional Church righ ts to civil authority . The action of E lio t’s play focuses upon Thom as’ re ­tu rn to C anterbury from his voluntary exile in F rance and the period of tim e im m ediately preceding his death.

UN Day-Our SuccessBeneath the flags of 117 nations, M ontclair

S ta te College had the piivilege of hosting the A nnual United Nations Week and Day Celebration. The M onlclarion had spoken previously of the great opportunity which this celebration afforded the college. We urged the student body to actively support the celebration, knowing that there would be m any far-reaching rew ards. We were ra th e r delighted at the studen t’s response to our call. Except for the usual small fac­tion of students who are known to block anything which is associated w ith progress on this campus or anyw here else, the student body gave their fu ll support to the efforts of P resident Richardson and his committee.

The delegates from the colleges of the state, the private citizens, and the visiting digni­taries all expressed a delight w ith the cam­pus and the program . We are justly proud. The celebrations showed us that M ontclair S tate could provide a pleasant background for this type of affair. More im portantly, it showed our visitors tha t we know how to handle the details of such a meeting. We would hope tha t the celebration would give our college a larger p a rt in the affairs of the academic community. We would also hope th a t the celebration’s success would pave the w ay for o ther groups to carry on activities in the same intellectual vein.

All of us can be justly proud of the college’s ability to successfully provide a fitting back­ground for a celebration of the anniversary of the United Nations, an organization dedi­cated to the establishm ent of peace in a w orld which is so full of hate and want. The goals of the United Nations should be the goals of us all. M ontclair S ta te College has proven tha t it holds these goals very close to its heart.

Let There Be Music Part II

Early last week we had the privilege of m eeting with both faculty and students from the Music Departm ent. This meeting seemed to provide a profitable exchange of ideas and also helped to clarify m any points brought up in our last editorial.

W hat we had described as “m ediocrity” on the part of the m arching band was n o t , so much a m ediocrity of musical ability as j it was an inability to perform precision drill. There are m any reasons for the lack of such intensive drill. The first reason lies in the fact tha t the band does not concen­tra te on drilling ability. The three hours a w eek of practice which the band has would never allow for intensive drill.

And the fact rem ains, that for the first game, it rained for two of the three prac­tice hours for the band. It would have been

a miracle for any band to perform intensive precision drill after onp hour of practice.

I t is impossible for the music departm ent to attem pt to schedule m ore than th ree hours of practice for m arching band. Both the fac­ulty and student body composing the music departm ent are overloaded. The fact also re­mains th a t the m arching band is neither the central or m ost im portant feature in the musical developm ent of a student.

There are two apparent alternatives to the problem of providing a superior m arch­ing band. One, is to unload the music stu­dents of the ex tra assignm ents w hich he does have. The departm ent itself has tried to minimize such requirem ents; however, control of such lies in the hands of the state, and they apparently will do nothing.

We could also m ake the band a school i club as do such universities as H arvard. This would be an excellent idea as there are num erous non-music m ajors who possess the ability to play an instrum ent and who also have perform ed in m arching bands in high school. However such a club would require more money and ex tra faculty direction, and fulltim e faculty direction. These seems to be the only two answers to the problem of pro­viding a good m arching band.

To touch briefly upon the editorial it­self. We do not feel that it showed a type of journalistic irresponsibility. If not all of the facts w ere given, it is because m any of them were sublim ated in the minds of those who we assum ed to be repu tab le sources. The reactions of some would have proven us incorrect in this assumption.

The responsibility for a good m arching band lies in our hands as well as the music departm ent’s. We hope th a t more students take an in terest in this problem and will meet with those involved parties so tha t the m arching band will be able to provide a large am ount of school spirit at our football games.

Planning AheadDisorganization and lack of communica­

tion seem to be an ever present m enace on this campus. The freshm en class elections two weeks ago were no exceptions to the rule. During these elections, posters w ere re­peatedly torn down and replaced, and ballots were discovered to be incorrectly typed, re­sulting in the closing of the polls a t 11:00 a.m.; consequently, the voting for all fresh­men was lim ited to six hours, from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m.

The fau lt lies not with the candidates, but with the S tudent Governm ent Association Board of Elections. It is their responsibility to see that all SGA elections are properly conducted, to inform the candidates of the voting procedures and deadlines and to su­pervise the drafting of the elections.

We suggest th a t in the fu tu re the Board of Elections be more conscientious in the m atter of elections. Any election, be it the freshm en class elections or the annual spring elections, deserve the fullest attention of the Board. Let us hope tha t such laxity on the part of the Board does not occur in fu ture elections. _

The President’s DeskThe United Nations Day celebration is over and a lot of

people who worked hard in p repara tion for this program can now breathe a little easier. If the num ber of partic ipan ts is one of the legitim ate ways to m easure success, then the affair was very successful indeed. When it becam e evident tha t requests for reservations exceeded the original figure set, we increased the num ber of places in the cafe teria to 850—a rea l s tra in on our facilities—and by Monday all i ------------------------------------------------dinner tickets had »been sold. There was no possible a lte rn ­ative then bu t to turn aw ay stu­dents and com m unity people who could not be accommodated, and for this we are sorry.

G roups of faculty m em bers | and students worked very h a rd on the m any details which went into the preparation of an elab ­orate program like our U.N. Convocation. Long hours were spent in contacting panelists, preparing, printing, arranging for rooms, p reparing dining fa ­cilities and innum erable other tasks. The United Nations Day committee is very indebted to many, m any peopl ein our col­lege com m unity and I personal­ly feel g rea t g ratitude for all of the cooperation and help which w as extended.

We had the Governor, tw oj Senators, leaders and d ig n ita r­ies from the professions of law, medicine, business, labor; w e had clergym en, scholars - but the real s ta rs of the United N a­tions Day program w ere the s tu ­dents of M ontclair S tate College, Splendid com plim ents w ere paid by the panelists to our students for th e ir penetrating questions and com m ents. As guides and ticket collectors students dis­played com petence, friendliness and sincere hospitality.

P erhaps the g rea test Im press­ion was m ade by M ontclair s tu ­dents a t the dinner meeting. We are indebted to the in te rfra te rn ­ity and inter-sorority councils for the terrific job they did in m ustering 60 or 70 students who volunteered their services for anyw here from 8 to 12 hours. These students did hard work-

sometimes dirty work, and they did it with a charm tha t ing ra t­iated them to our large dinner audience.

I wish I could m ore adequate­ly convey to you the quantity and the types of compliments which were paid to us as a re ­sult of our student staff. T h e pride I felt in the students o f M ontclair S tate College on the evening of October 27 was the m ost moving experience I have had since joining the academ ic fam ily at this institution.

I am writing this m essage while sitting at m y desk Fri- d a y m orning. Congratulatory m essages are coming into the office and they a re constantly in terrupting m y writing. In te r­ruptions are usually frustrating but of course these are m ost gratifying. The congratulations go to all of the students and faculty and especially to those individuals who did so much to m ake the New Jersey celebra­tion of the tw enty-first anniver­sary of the U.N. a success.

The editors request that stu­dents who submit letters to the MONTCLARION kindly limit them to 200 words and submit them typed, double spaced.

To the E dito r:I have read both the artic le

under the column “L etters to the E ditor” and the editorial titled “ Let There Be Music” and wish to say they are the m ost accu ra te I have read in a long tim e. I agree w ith them 100 per cent. It is high time tha t someone took the initiative a- bout the deplorable sta te of af­fa irs regard ing our m arching band.

I would like to a ttack this issue, first, from the viewpoint of education. We are m ainly a teachers’ college, one of the top th ree in the country. As such, we have M usic M ajors who will be teaching in the high schools of this s ta te . P a r t of the ir im ­portan t job will be to take charge o the m arching band in which form ations are a necessary part. I question very seriously, if they are not able to perform for us here, w hat abilities will they tak e w ith them to give the proper instruction a t the schools to which they go.

We have added L iberal A rts to our curriculum . Our college has grown to over 4000 students.

We no longer have six stud­ents playing for us as a band in the stands as we did in 1958. Our band has grown to 80 or 90 m em bers but there it has stopped - not in size but in progress. We have not develop­ed any form ations and still have to cross our fingers that they will be at the game. There w ere one or two instances when it was necessary to hire a band in recent years because ours could not be presen t. When this was not possible there w as no band at all.

This lack of developm ent af­te r reaching a certain point has shown throughout the rest of the cam pus. Our attendance at the first home football game has been below tha t a t Clifton even though our student body is larger. A recent class dance held in the gym w as fa r below the 300 or m ore a class dance would norm ally draw . It is not in one area, it is all over. A change in the attitude of those connected w ith the m arching

band could bring about a change th a t would touch all a reas, giving us som ething to be proud of, and revitalizing school spirit, we would press forw ard. If we do, attendance will im prove a t our plays, con­certs, dances, and all activi­ties of college life.

When employed by the col­lege I badgered, persuaded, pleaded, and tried in every

way that I knew to get our inarching band to attend at least one aw ay football game, if not all. I was contacted on the day of com m encem ent last June regarding the football schedule for this. At th a t tim e I suggested before notifying the band m em bers of th a t date that they also include at least one aw ay gam e the answ er was that the students had not been told pf any aw ay gam es they would have to go to th is y ear and, therefore, it could not be done. We have had several bands come to our football gam es with

their team s during the last two years. Of these one cam e from Trentc.n S tate College and one all the way from Delaware.

I am well aw are tha t m any Music M ajors want to m ake extra money on the weekends and therefore do not w ant to perform for the games if they can avoid it. The faculty let let the student body as a whole can avoid it. The faculty should an exam or riot. The football players and other ath letes would like to earn money too but are out for sports. In the case of a Physical Education M ajor it is a requirem ent. I m ight say in passing th a t the ath lete gets little enough recognition for his endeavors. He does .not have any less class work then the other students and yet has to put in so m uch ex tra tim e to develop his abilities. W hat he does as an individual or as a team is im portant to tse heal­thy life of a college, w hether it is recognized or not.

The excuse of no practice field is not adequate because with a practice field in front of the Music Bldg, there w as no im provem ent. It would do well for the uniform s to be uniform and not some cream color and some white pants.

Unless a sincere effort is m ade on the p a r t of the m arch ­ing band to come to our home gam es and a t least one aw ay gam e and m arch in form ations, I would like to be the first as a student to put m y nam e to any petition presented for the purpose of discontinuing the a l­lotm ent of $1750. given to the m arching band and let the SGA spend it to h ire a m arching band for us th a t will w ant to perform .

I have no doubt if we had a band like the Must angs of Clif­ton High School the difference in school sp irit would be tre ­

mendous. W hether we have school sp irit or not is up to you — the student body of Mont­clair S tate College.

To the Editor:Upon reading your editorial

“Let There Be M usic” in the October 21st issue of the Mont- clarion. this reader w as amazed at the d isregard for fact and the lack of understanding upon which the editorial w as based.

W riters of L etters to the E di­tor can be excused foir not know­ing the facts for they are indiv­iduals, rightly or wrongly, who have som ething to get off their chests. Then, too, they speak only for them selves. However, the E ditorial Staff of a new spa­per has a deep responsibility to their readers, their community, and to the profession of journal­ism which should not be taken lightly. If they do not take the time or trouble to acquaint them ­selves with the facts, they turn the ir “trusted responsibility” in ­to “ irresponsibility .”

It is with reluctance that I feel

ber, to refute charges and accus­ations aired in the Montclarion. However, as C hairm an of the Music D epartm ent, I m ust de­fend our loyal, hardworking and dedicated students and faculty.

If the M arching Band were the only activ ity engaged in by the Music D epartm ent, there m ight be some basis for leveling such charges in its direction. However m ay I point out that we actually serve the college in three very large areas. Our p rim ary and forem ost responsibility is to pro­vide m usic education for future teachers of public school music. In addition, we offer a variety of m usical services to the col­lege in the way of concerts, re ­citals, ticket services and public relations. In fact, la s t year we perform ed in m ore than 89 such program s in addition to playing for the football gam es. Since the M arching Band is only one of these areas, it is unfortunate that we receive a m axim um exposure in this area . In spite of the m ed­iocrity alluded to in the Mont clarion, you would be amazed at the num ber of requests m ade upon the Music D epartm ent for p rogram s on and off the campus. I hastily point out th a t we are not an en tertainm ent bureau and that our students, like the rest of the college com m unity, come to M ontclair State for an educa­tion. It m ust be rem em bered that th e ir perform ing is over and above the ir responsibilities to the ir academic studies.

In the area of public relations, the Music D epartm ent has many requests from high school assem ­bly program com m ittees, clubs, religious organizations, and mus­ic organizations for our services. We endeavor to cooperate when possible but we m ust always keep our prim ary function in mind — th a t of train ing teachers.. By sim ply counting the courses listed in the catalog, you will find that m usic m ajors m ust complete a total of 81 separate courses in th e ir four yea|r pro­gram as com pared to English m ajors who complete 51 separate courses. I will be the first to adm it tha t there are different point credits and study demands, but the difference is m ore than offset by the practice hours and rehearsa l hours needed by m usic students in the developm ent of their instrum ental skill and p er­form ance proficiency.

M ay I now quote from your editorial and attem pt to set the record stra igh t concerning some of your charges?

“ The M arching Band has long presented a ra ther low spot in school sp irit.” This statem ent does not bear out the history of the M arching Band or of the Music D epartm ent. Four short years ago we did not have a M arching Band. By the valiant efforts of both students and fac­ulty we were able to put into the field a band of almost 90 m em bers which is not equalled by any of the other sta te col­leges. I might add tha t it is grossly unfair- to com pare any of the organizations of Montclair State College with those of the Big Ten or the Ivy Leagues. We sim ply do not have the resources of these larger institutions. May­be some day we will.

“ The refusal of the M arching Band to travel along with our team has also been a diappoint m ent.” While this statem ent has some truth, it would lead the casual reader to believe that this refusal was a rb itrary . Here too, we need to reflect on the

dent that we would not have m uch of a band if it were put on a voluntary basis, At the time even the band m em bers realized this and It w as agreed tha t it would be required of the instru­m ental m ajors. We agreed fur­ther th a t in order far our students to fulfill the ir professional com­m itm ents we would m ake known to them the gam e schedule at the end of the spring sem ester for the coming year and th a t this would be binding on both the students as well as the adm inis­tration of the M arching Band. You may be wondering why this sort of arrangem ent needed to be m ade? Many of our students are professional m usicians which re ­quires tha t they be m em bers of local unions and tha t they m ust abide by the ru les and regula­tions of those unions. As they accept perform ing engagem ents to assist them through college, we feel th a t it is our obligation to honor th is agreem ent which was m ade at the tim e. For a couple of years this worked well since the m ajority of the students in the band were still around who had been a p a rty to this agreem ent. Today it is difficult to explain to some of the new m usic students why we should

! continue th is inflexible rule. P e r­haps now, with a la rg e r student body, we should consider the M arching Band an elective or­ganization. We will certainly en­te rta in this idea. However, m ay I point out that it d idn’t work four years ago. Also the re la tiv e­ly few non-music m ajors in the band, for whom it is voluntary, a ttest what m ight be the resu lt if this is to be our future action.

“ The Band, if no one else, should be there to vividly add school sp irit and support our team s efforts.” I agree tha.t stu ­dents should support our team and our college. I question, how­ever, tha t band m em bers should do this any m ore than o ther stu­dents of the college.

“ It is tru e that not m any of the other state colleges send their bands; however, we are not another state college.” The Mont clair S tate College M arching Band com pares favorably with the bands of the other sta te col­leges. W hether the editors like it or not we are one of the six state colleges. We are obliged to oper­ate within the fram ework of cur­riculum, certification, student sem ester hours credit, teacherload tim e and budget as set forth and designated by the S tate Board of Education. There is, of course, some minor flexibility but certainly not enough for the kind of perform ing band which the editors indicate they want.

“Our band is ra th e r m ediocre, it’s surprising that our spirit stil su rv ives.” If ones school sp irit needs someone else to lean on then it m ust be weak. I would suggest tha t students who feel this way exam ine closely the ir school sp irit to see if it m eets the test. I do not claim that our M arching Band is perfect, but I do claim that it is b e tter than it was four years ago, and it will be better four years from now. I assure you that in spite of the unfortunate criticism of your editorial and the hostile feelings generated thereby, that the band will play for- the next home football game on Novem­ber 5 to the best of their abiity. ability.

If we have m ade a m istake, m aybe it has been of trying to do the impossible within the m ea­ger fram ew ork in which we m ust

ulty receive tw o-thirds of an hour cred it for each contact hour which am ounts to two hours on load for the three hours of re ­hearsa l. All planning and the m aking of arrangem ents m ust come from the faculty members, free tim e. Add to this a tight budget, compulsajry attendance, and other factors and you can see th a t we do have our problem .

The firs t appearance of the band this season was ra th e r un­fortunate. The band m em bers and faculty were no happier than the editorial Writer about this per­form ance. However, before we criticize we should exam ine the fac ts. I am rem inded of the Indian proverb, “Before one crit­icizes he should walk in the moc­casins of th Brave for five days.” The college opened on Septem­ber 19 and the personnel of the M arching Band cannot even be

really set until we have two or th ree m eetings. The reason is that about one third of the band turns over every year and many schedules need to oe adjusted. You will rem em ber tha t during the first week of school it rained practically every day which greatly ham pered our rehearsa l tim e on the field. The band d ir­ector told me that he had only one hour on the field because of the rain. In addition, the newly sodded field and the washedout yard lines ham pered the effective­ness of even that one rehearsa l. Our first gam e was originally scheduled for F riday night and a t the last m inute it was chan­ged to Satu rday night. For re a ­sons explained above this fu r­th e r complicated our student a t­tendance problem s. We pondered th e advisability of playing this first gam e but since we were only to play for th ree home >

gam es we decided that we woulddo the best we could, even though we knew that the M arching Band was under-rehearsed. Maybe our judgm ent was faulty , but you could hardly call th is lack of school spirit.

“There are many reasons for the m ediocrity of our band. Un- fo-rtunately, very few of them rest with m em bers of the band itse lf.” With this sta tem ent, I agree. Do not blam e the band m em bers for they a re already perform ing beyond the call of duty. However, I cannot agree with your next statem ent, “Much of the lack of professionalism lies in the direction of the band .” This statem ent m aligns the fac­ulty direction and blam es them for som ething not w ithin the ir control. The key-word of the sta tem ent is “ professionalism .” Professionalism is m ore than an attitude of the m em bers of the band and the faculty direction. We m ust be given a professional budget, a professional schedule, and professional support. I am told by sources, which I have no

reason to doubt, that the U niver­sity of Michigan M arching Band is for all in tents and purposes a professional band. All of its mem­bers are on scholarship and its d irector is full time devoting his energies exclusively to the direc tion, planning and publicity of the M arching Band for the en­tire year. He also has the ser­vices of a full-time assistant. I am not advocating this a rran g e­m ent for M ontclair S tate College but when you consider the ex­pectations of the editorial w riter, you can see th a t w ithin the fram ew ork in which they m ust work they put forth a valiant effort.

“ There is little we can do but encourage.” On the contrary, sir, there is much you can do and, in view of your criticism , should do.

1. You can arouse the school spirit of the non-m usic m ajors on cam pus who play in stru ­m ents and could be a p a rt of the M arching Band but who

a re not. We welcome all s tu ­dents into our perform ing or­

ganizations and reg re t th a tthere are only five non-m usic m ajors in the M arching Band.

2. Through the good offices of our new spaper you can pub­licize the good points of the Music D epartm ent as well as the seem ingly bad points.3. You can give reasonable coverage tc our concerts and program s and cooperation to our departm ental reporter and

represen tatives of our perform ­ing organizations.

4. You can encourage attend­ance to all of our musical events.In spite of all tha t has been

said, I com m end you for your desires and wishes for a top notch perform ing organization. We, too, feel tha t we can do bet­te r and we intend to. I charge you, however, to do m ore than criticize. I solicit your help. I say with all hum ility that we welcome sincere and ju st critic ­ism which can be turned into action for a b e tter M ontclair State College and b etter training for our students.

Even When She Answers, He Still Gets the Busy Signal.DEAR REB:Lately, every time I call my girl, she's either "not in" or "not inter­ested." Last week I called her 23 times and couldn't even make a coffee date. The trouble started when she started dating a guy who owns a Dodge Coronet. Now she goes to parties with him, dances, football games, etc. Do you think I should call her again, or should I forget her and break her heart?

BAD CONNECTIONS

DEAR BAD CONNECTIONS:I think your next call should be to your Dodge Dealer. Then make a date to see the '67 Coronet, the car that's breaking hearts all over America. You’ll find that its good looks are pretty hard to resist. Now, before you break your girl’s heart, give her another break. Ask her to go for a ride in your new Coronet. I think she'll get the signal.

ere's the heartbreaker. . ,'67 Dodge Coronet 500. A campus favorite with its great new looks, ride, nd list of extras that are standard. Like bucket seats with either a companion seat in the middle or a snter console. Plush carpeting. Padded instrument panel. Padded sun visors. Seat belts, front and sar. A choice of Six or V8 models. And lots more. So get with '67 Dodge Coronet and get busy.

To the Editor:I am not a m usic m ajor. And

I am glad.Being p art of the band though,

I have had a first-hand perspec­tive of the m usic departm ent.

The attitudes of some profess­ors and the departm en ta l adm in­istra tion m ake the musi m ajor’s life unbearable. The observer a t the football games sees only a sm all part of the band’s tim e allo tted by the departm ent. If he could see those th ree hours of rehearsa l he would wonder how the band can m ain tain such good spirits.

As freshm en the m usic m ajors and non-m ajors come into • the departm en t with a sm ile on their faces. The m usic m ajors soon lose this sm ile. The non-m ajors playing in the band cannot under­stand this. Suddenly something happens in the departm ent tha t m akes the non-m usic m ajo r un­derstand fully the plight of his fellow m usicians.

There can be a reform in the attitudes of the student - if one comes about on the part of the departm ent’s adm inistration and the college’s adm inistration as well tow ards that departm ent.

All of us who find ourselves in th a t building find ourselves there because of our love of m usic. We all wonder w‘ny some of the professors are so much against that very deep sentim ent and why they show it.

Je rry Bogner - 1969

To the E d ito r:A m ajor p a rt of the middle

section of the O ctober 21, 1966 M ontclarion was devoted to a very scathing and ra th e r unin­form ed slap a t the m arching band specifically and the m usic departm en t in general.

I do not wish to defend those of us who are fortunate enough to be music m ajors, but in all fairness, there are a few points in both Mr. DaCunzno’s le tte r and the editorial which cry for c la r­ification.

F irst, Mr. DaCunzo finds it necessary to com pare our band to one from a Big Ten or Ivy League School. I would like to know if Mr. DaCunzo has ever taken a th ree hour course for Vi credit? Music students a t la r ­ger schools don’t. Usually the cred it for ensem bles a re at least one credit per sem ester. Not so at M ontclair. Each music m ajor is required to take two ensem bles per sem ester with no credit a t all for two whole years, and then continue for two y ea rs a t Vi credit each sem ester. Total average credit — Vi point

November 2, 1966 M O N T C L A R I O N Page 7

(Continued from page 6)p er sem ester for th ree hours work. How many other m ajor fields on cam pus can m ake this s ta tem ent?

Second, although it is very comforting not think tha t Mr. Da- Cunzo and t’ne m em bers of the editorial staff are so interested in our perform ance on the foot ball field, I would wonder if we ever saw them at, say, a college choir concert? Or at one of our un-“dynam ic”' orchestra con­certs.

I’ll tell you right now gentle m en, i t ’s awfully hard to be dynam ic for 70 people, especial­ly if you know tha t alm ost all of them are parents.

Third, the program s we p re­sent do not, it is true rival P e te r, Faul and M ary. But I understand that the art depart­m ent has instituted a sim ilarly unpleasant cam paign to m ake its student look at old m asters as well as cereal boxes, and I was shocked to learn that the English D epartm en t dem ands the reading of H am let for the granting of a liberal arts degree. One can no longer take a degree for L ittle Lulu and Classic Com­ics. In other words taste is taste. If you go a little m ore deeply into any field you enjoy its m ore sophisticated elem ents. I ’m not crazy about M ary Pop- pins either, but will Mr. Da- Cunzo and our editors accept the Clarinet Concerto by Carl Niel­sen on the cocernt stage.

The editorial sta tes th a t there is little for it to do but encour­age. But did you encourage at all? I am a t this school because

I love children and m usic so m uch tha t I wish to bring the tw o of them together an I ‘nave learned from experience tnat if you rip and rip and rip you’ll invariably come up with ..... shreds

If you have any hope of im ­proving a bad situation get in- and to it and behind it and around it a little bit before you attack it from the front. This is how I hope and expect to teach.

In closing I would like to extend an open invitation to anyone who doubts the v erac­ity of these sta tem ents, or any­one who would like to m ake a m ore fair and accurate judg­m ent of the m usic departm ent to come spend a day with us. Not an hour or a m orning. A whole day. You m ay be very surprised.

spirit in the class of 1970. But this is only the beginning.

CLUB has alw ays provided a bus to away gam es for t h e cheerleaders and all interested students, except in the event of extrem e difficulties, as was the case with the Ithaca gam e. In spite of this long-standing pol­icy CLUB informed me late F ri­day afternoon tha t no transport­ation w as to be provided for cheerleaders and fans alike to or from the Delaware game on Saturday. Had we the time, other arrangem ents could have been m ade, but as it was, our chances of getting to the gam e were com pletely cancelled o u t beause of the short notice we received as to CLUB’s inten­tions. Add to this the inconven­ience caused in trying to inform the girls in an evening tha t they were not going, and you have a c leare r picture of this w eekend's happenings.

Football is definitely a spect­ator sport. How can we expect to field a good team, in high spirits, with active support be­hind them ? How can they play their best brand of football when they come out on the field and have to face stands empty of fans, em pty of a m arching band, and a field with no cheer­leaders? Any team deserves and needs more than this. More ef­fort is needed by all concerned: the organizations who promote the growth of school spirit, the tw irlers, the band, the cheer­leaders, CLUB, and especially the students them selves. Foot­ball could be an all-cam pus event; there is no reason why “Big Red” should not m ean as m uch to us as the “ Fighting I r ­ish” m eans to a N ortre Dame rooter. We have three gam es re ­m aining; it’s up to all of us to see tha t the stands are filled for those th ree games. All th a t’s needed is a little enthusiasm and school pride; or is th a t too much to expect?

Nancy Gross Capl. of Cheerleaders

To the Editor:After reading the editorial in

your last issue, “Let There Be M usic” we agree with the opin­ions expressed in tha t column, and applaud its appearance. M ontclair State has a fine foot­ball team which needs all the support the student body can give it. The presence of t h ° cheering squad and of students at away gam es is a highly m ot­ivating fac to r for the team ; it gives them the im petus and the will to win, and we thank those who have gone out of their way to attend these gam es. However not everything has gone smooth­ly in this regard .

We all know how m uch i t bolsters a te am ’s m orale to have Wide support from the stu­dent body. Yet, because of a lack of provisions, the cheer­leaders were unable to hold their annual F reshm an Rally

To the Editor:With student thought and ac­

tion so much in the press these days, I find that all too often the rea l purpose and drive which m otivates the individual is lost in the jumble of editorializa- tion and interpretation of some disinterested party in the con­veying of this thought to the masses.

Our college is not an excep­tion to this sorry sta te of af­fairs. But unlike the new spap­ers and publications of the day, it does, in m ost cases, correctly and purposefully expose the stu­dent to the thought and ideas of both faculty and student alike. Various m edia, i.e. Mont- clarion, Q uarterly , Galum ph, the Yearbook and other notices and publications strive to give voice to original thought.

Through m y lim ited exper­ience I find th a t one of the m ost widely discussed and talked ab­out publications at M ontclair S tate is the Qu .rterly L iterary M agazine. Though opinions range from m ildly am used to outright angry, this publica­tion is talked about, laughed at, analyzed and glanced over. I feel th a t the m ain reason for this is hunger on the p a rt of the student to learn the goings-on which stim ulate the minds of his com rades.

How can black le tte rs on a white page accura tely convey the inner workings of the poet or author. Som ewhere along theearly this year, which was d e ­

signed expressly to prom ote in- line intangible qualities which te rest and aw aken the schoolthe w riter aim s to set forth

are lost. Not lost in the sense th a t they are no longer there, but lost in the sense tha t the feeling, the emotion of the w ri­te r does not fully come across on the printed page. This is a loss not only to the Q uarterly , but to any publication of origi­nal thought.

No m atte r how adept or in­adept a poet m ight be a t oral reading, it is, nonetheless, the poet’s own in terpretation of the work and only his.

I would welcome your opin­ions and criticism s on this m a t­ter, through a persona! discus­sion or a le tter. P lease feel free to contact me if my prop­osal catches your in terest in any way.

V ery tru ly yours, W illiam Bates

Delaware Rolls Over Indians, 22-6 Trenton Blankets Trenton Is Next Big Red Opponent MSC In Soccer, 5-0

When the M ontclair State varsity football team takes on Trenton State on Saturday night, N ovem ber 5th, it will be seek­ing to snap a three gam e losing streak.

The Indians were upset Saturday by D elaw are State College who had scored but th ree touchdowns previously this season. A fter a scoreless first half, in which the Big Reds blew several scoring opportunities, D elaw are 's quarterback Willie M urry hit Vernon Gibson with a pass who | then la tera lled to E rn est Anderson, who scored.

D elaware got the ir second touchdown m inutes la ter when Gilson intercepted an MSC pass and raced sixty-six yards. The kick for the ex tra point w as m ade by Bill Langull. The

final Delaware score cam e in the fourth q u arte r when Saun­ders scored on a one-yard plunge; Langull’s kick w as ag ­ain good.

The Indians finally got on the scoreboard in the fourth q u arte r the team downfield, scored on a quarterback sneak. The final

score was D elaw are 22, MSC 6.If the Indians are to defeat

Trenton State, Mike Sullivan will have to be installed as of­fensive end because MSC des­p era te ly needs someone who can catch, and Bill Kulikowsky certa in ly deserves a shot a t a s tarting offensive backfield pos­ition. Despite M ontclair's col­lapse, we see it as MSC 28, T renton 15.

The M ontclair State Sports Car Club will hold its second rally of the year on Saturday , Novem ber 12.

Brookdale P a rk was the scene on October 22, in which Mont­clair S ta te ’s soccer team lost to Trenton S tate 5-0. Action in the F irst Half was brisk, as both teams displayed excellent d e ­fensive power plays in control­ling the ball. However at 18:00 in the F irs t Period. Joe Zanetti of Trenton State kicked the ball past our Goalie, Pete Baubles, who desperately dove at it in the corner of the net. T hat was the only score in the F irs t Half as both team s stiffened up. Several saves were m ade by the Trenton S tate Goalie, including two goal shots from M ontclair S tate in ihe Second Period.

Trenton State increased the score in the Third Period with goals by Tom Doyle, a t 2:55, and by Carl Zimbicki, a t 10: 35 in th a t period. Tom H artm an re ­placed Pete Baubles as Goalie for M ontclair State, and snatched away the ball in a sensational leaping catch betw een three Trenton State p layers. Besides this catch, Tom m ade two other saves in his short spell as Goalie and as the team s sw itched sides a t the s ta r t of the Fourth P er- old, Pete Baubles went back in to tend the net.

The Fourth Period put the ic­ing on the cake, as Trenton S tate added two m ore goals to her credit. T renton’s fourth goal was kicked in by Tom Doyle, at 8:00 into the period, while the last goal cam e w ithin the last two m inutes of the gam e by Pete Hawkins, tha t skinned the upper bar of the goal post and glanced into the net.

M ontclair S ta te’s Conference record is 1-2, while her overall record is 3-5. We m eet P aterson State a t their field on October 26, and also N ew ark S tate a t their field on N ovem ber 8, fo r our two rem aining Conference games.
