Councils' Liberal Proposals Marred By Illegal Parietals

by Norm Roger Parietals-legal or otherwise

returned to Georgetown last weekend and the new set of hours and regulations devised by the house councils met with overwhelming student approval and tentative Administration support.

Harbin, Copley and New South dormitories hosted women guests over the weekend but only Harbin residents had received prior

all expected to be approved this week-are notably more liberal than last year's and border in muny instances upon an honor system.

approval was slightly different in New South than in Harbin, though, John Wintrol, housemaster for New South, described the problem.

.. Administration approval. Intervisitation hours in New South were held without explicit University sanction and Copley residents entertained women despite the absence of any University approval.

A world record in the 1500-mile marathon and sore feet for residents of Loyola Hall, Ilnd swelled coffers for the United Givers Fund resulted this week from the marathon which ended last night. Intervisitation hours and rules-

The Harbin rules, already approved, allow girls to visit the residence hall from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. The sign-in, sign-out system used in last year's trial program has also been replaced in Harbin . There will be a central check-in where a student will deposit his I.D. when he enters with a girl and get it back when his visitor leaves.

Harbin House Council President Roger Ahrens (ColI. '69) said this new policy "makes the student a little more responsible when he knows that his I.D. is downst[tirs." Ahrens said "The program came off very well this weekend, almost without a hitch."

"The intervisitatiOl1 program was not explicity approved for New South this weekend, however this decision, (that it was not explicity approved) was not made known to me until 7 p.m. Friday evening. Therefore, in my judgment as housemaster, I felt it would have been practically impossible to call off intervisitation that time. It was a difficult decision, but I felt it was necessitated by the practical realities of the situation."

Mush Ponders Starting Unit As Hoyas Await St. Peter's In discussing the difficulties of

!!etting Harbin's policy approved Ahrens said, "Dean (of Men) Klein had several objections to the program, especially the closed doors. What really helped us was the resident assistants getting together and issuing a joint statement that the proposal was totally acceptable to them."

Wintrol said the parietals went off very well, although "there are a few minor changes which will have to be made, the need for which only became evident during the actual working of the plan."

Group Of Students Chosen To Counsel On Beer Argument

Student members were appointed this week to complete an ad hoc committee to advise the Rev. Gerard J. Campbell, S.J., University president, on the question of a beer license on campus but no real progress has been made anG student leaders are no closer LO the answer than they were a week ago.

The five students handpicked by the three student council presidents to solve what has become a highly emotional problem, are John Buckley (ColI. '69), Jerry Meunier (Call. '70), Mike Mortara (SFS '71), Marty Cirincione (SFS '71) and Eileen McGrath (GUNS '69).

Dayton P. Morgan. University vice president for business, and Richard J. McCooey (CoIl. '52), owner of 1789 on 36th St., have promiser to supply the stUdents with any financial information requested.

Sophomore Class Representative on the Yard Mike O'Leary said this week he hoped the committee would arrange something so that McCooey could either sell the beer in the cafeteria or could supply the beer for Harding-Williams, the cafeteria management firm, to sell. He said the 1789 business manager was currently studying the two possibilities.

A modernized grill section of the New South Cafeteria, the Hoya Room in which beer would be sold, is scheduled for opening late this week or early next week.

Wood paneling has been added and highlights of the new section will be a charcoal grill and a pizza oven. The third week in October was the original target date for the opening.

evidence of the team's ferocity will be unleashed when Mush's Mashers tangle with St. Peter's in this Saturday's season opener.

St. Peter's ability is undetermined as yet, since they have split two games thus far. In their lidlifter the Peacocks dumped La Salle 35-0, then about-faced and dropped their second outing to Catholic University by a 16-0 count.

Coach Dubofsky is still undecided about the starting lineup. He doesn't plan to announce the first unit until Friday, whiCh should undoubtedly provide some serious headknocking throughout this week's practice sessions.

Also, departing from the past's unwritten law that freshmen seldom find a place on the team, Dubofsky roared, "I don't care what they are."

He further indicated that last year's stars would be passed over if they didn't produce in this fall's practices. This policy lends itself to speculation over the quarterback position. The latest "Vegas" odds are that the starting nod may go to Tom Argentieri. Bruce Simmons is also slated to see much action. However, the quarterback issue as well as last year's errant passing game, still seems to be up in the air.

Sophomore h a If b a c k John Dwyer has done well in practice. He was out last season with a broken ankle, but big things are expected of him this year.

With regard to this Saturday's game plan, Dubofsky said that he anticipates an even split between passing and running. He and assistant coach Scott Glacken hope to platoon a good deal. If the team can avoid major injuries, few players will be required to go both ways.

When asked for a prediction of Saturday's outcome, Coach Dubofsky went out on a limb. "Prediction?" he pondered, "Sure, we're not going to lose a single game-before October 19." The implications of this may be taken in many ways. Dubofsky was equally non-commital when he ranged on the subject of what he expected from St. Peters. He said that he was not yet familiar with the league.

Team captain Pierce O'Donnell sounded a note of cautious optimism about the opening contest. "The team has been practicing real hard" he said. O'Donnell promised that the team would be ready by Saturday. He said they would go all out, and that we just have to wait and see what hap-pens.

In New South, the program allows women on the halls from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday; 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturdays; and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays. Those residents entertaining women are required to post a sign on their doors and one resident is required to be on duty to hear any student complaints regarding infringements of their privacy and parietal regulations.

Talks Foreign Service Terlned Huge Success

by Joanne Peartree Students, faculty, and a panel

of highly-qualified experts participated in a conference on the SChool of Foreign Service last weekend. Jay Lovestone, former secretary-general of the U.S. Com-

munist Party in the 1920's, and now director of International Affairs for AFL-CIO, keynoted the conference Thursday evening.

The analysis, sponsored by the Walsh Area Student Council and Delta Phi Epsilon, examined and evaluated the present curriculum and structure of the school. All discussions were taped to be transcribed and published for use in reforming the curriculum and structure of the School of Foreign Service, which this year celebrates its fiftieth anniversary.

The conference was said to be a tremendous success. Dr. Karl Cerny, professor of government, commented, "It was a very fr1litful meeting. It gave the stUdent.,; a chance to tell us what's bothering them, a chance to air vie,,,,'s and interact." Dr. Thomas HeIde,

I chairman of the history department, added, "It went extremely well. I'd say it was first-class!" The Rev. Thomas R. Fitzgerald, academic vice president, pronounced, "It moved the school towards the self-evaluation and selfstudy it needs."

By talking to members of the Copley lawn was the scene Slmday of the Georgetown-to-Georgetown sponsored fie~ market. A large faculty, University, and Foreign crowd was drawn to help benefit (See page 13 for other picture). (Continned on Page 11)

OZYMANDIAS

Just Peanuts

If anything is as American as motherhood, apple pie and baseball, it's probably the funny papers. Even the older generation can say they grew up on them; and although the Katzenjammer Kids) Prince Valiant and Rube Goldberg do not enjoy the popularity they once did, a new generation of comic strips has been created to take their place.

Some old favorities still survive, although one frequently wonders why, as Blondie) Dick Tracy and LiJl Abner are still the regular diet for most cartoon enthusiasts.

Even those who refuse to wade through the Washington Post's four page daily anthology probably do glance at the Sunday color edition, if only because it's a habit developed at an early age.

The real wonderment is that in this wasteland of mediocrity, there is one strip that constantly stands out above all the rest. That one, of course, is the irrepressible Peanuts.

The success of Peanuts will always remain somewhat of a mystery insofar as it is hardly credible that one man can so regularly come up with so many great ideas. This mystery can be readily overlooked, however, as long as Charles Schulz continues to share his genius with his readers.

It is his peculiar genius that has created characters so consistent and believable, they not only do not have to exist in our real world, but they should not.

This is not to say that Charlie Brown and his friends are simple. They are not. But nor are they entangled in any manmade complex. What they do boast of is a universal honesty.

How many desks have a Peanuts comic strip tacked up over them? How many neighborhood stores have Charlie Brown taped to the cash register?

The success has gone beyond this-into that world of commercial enterprise. The Snoopy doll and the Lucy greeting card are both outgrowths of the comic strip, as is a play and more than a score of books.

It is not intricate artwork that makes for this success. The drawing is expressive but not detailed. When Charlie Brown says, "There's something peculiar about lying in a dark room ... You can't see anything," nothing more is needed than four black panels.

Simply put, Peanuts is for everyone. It has a cast of characters all learn to know and to like. It makes observations that all can understand. It speaks a universal language.

It is Linus, after standing smiling in the rain, reporting, "Actually, a smile makes a lousy umbrella," or Snoopy looking forlornly at his supper dish thinking, "I hate it when it snows on my french toast."

It is also the Great Pumpkin, the Red Baron, and the first kickoff of the year. It is Linus's blanket, Lucy's psychiatric help, and Charlie Brown's baseball team (including that funny-looking shortstop).

But everything is not ridiculous, frequently there is a lesson involved. Not the lesson of the preacher, but a lesson so close to life, it forces the reader to reflect upon it. It is a lesson wrapped in humor; and, like candy-coated medicine, it is easy to swallow.

When Lucy reprimands Linus for rolling around in the snow just to recover his blanket from Snoopy, he can only say, "The struggle for security knows no season!" And when Charlie Brown asks, "Well, if you've got so much confidence in the world's getting better, how come you hang on to that blanket?", Linus can only put his thumb in his mouth and say, "Touche!"

In their own way, the characters share a profound insight balanced by unsophisticated humor. Linus exhibits this best with remarks like "Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life!" or "I love mankind ... It's people I can't stand."

Since a beagle can claim, "Anything that falls on the floor is legally mine," a child can certainly ponder the "theological implications" when "your own sister wishes you had never been born."

These are children who do not grow up and whose world does not change, a situation which is fortunate for us all. Their own brand of wisdom is a homily, but one that provokes a smile, a snicker or even a laugh.

In short, Peanuts is many things to many people; all people, it is the very least, good grief.

Georgetown Groups Seeking Improved Speaker Schedule

With the exception of the appearance of Jordan's King Hussein at Gaston Hall last year, the 1967-68 selection of speakers for Georgetown University was criticized as short on both quantity and quality. This year, however, student leaders are countering this with lists of celebrities who, they hope, will choose to make the Hilltop the scene of some of their more profound pronouncements.

The Young Republicans say they will not be able to get anyone to speak on campus until after the November elections. Bill Price, president of Georgetown YR's, blames this on the nationwide campaign activities of GOP personalities usually present in the \Vashington area. Price said "after the Republican victory, we will not have any problem in trying to get speakers who will appeal to youth." Some Republicans who have made tentative plans for speaking at Georgetown are Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke, Senator Charles Percy of Illinois, and Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon.

The Young Americans for Freedom have several people in mind for their '68-'69 program. Roy Whartc.n (CoIl. '70), campus YAF leader, said that Mason Hampton, Conservative-Republican f u s'i 0 n candidate for the House from New York, will probably speak sometime in November. Wharton also has high hopes that "when Barry Goldwater is re-elected to the Senate, he will come down and speak to us."

Club is caught in somewhat of a bind this year in regard to speakers although Khoman Thanat, Thailand's Foreign Minister, will speak at Gaston Hall on Oct. 25. Dean Curran, president of the club, expresses disappointment in what he terms a ·'lack of coordination between the various campus organizations in their efforts to get speakers." Curran claims that two or more organizations are often trying to get the same speaker.

The Philodemic Society is busy building up its speaking program also, with the goal of building controversy and debate, and as SUC:l, the speakers are not chosen very far in advance. Philodemic speakers are usually controversial people in the headlines or lesser celebrities who have something to say. John Owen (ColI. '69), president, reported that two speakers have been lined up for this month: Congressman Rarick of Louisiana, to speak on behalf of George Wallace, and F1axie Pinkett, one of Channing Phillips' as-

sociates, who is also involved in Washington government.

The Walsh Lecture Series hopes to have an elaborate speaker program from roughly February to November in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the School of Foreign Service. The major portion will be held during the second semester.

Tim Hauser, chairman of the series, is trying to set up a varied program that would alternate between major addresses and smaller seminars. In the hopes of having a "unifying thread" throughout the series, he has proposed to all intended speakers that they lecture around the topic "The Future of the U.S. in the Next Decade." He said last year's program "was a flop."

Hauser said he would like to see some sort of legislation passed through the councils that would foster coordination between lecture organizations. He added that the coordination must not "submerge the individual lecture ser-

Senator Pell Stresses Youth Support For HHH Campaign

Senator Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island wasn't always enthusiastic about supporting Hubert Humphrey, but he asl{ed his Georgetown audience to "consider the alternative."

by Jim Duryea Claiborne Pell, Democratic Sen

ator from Rhode Island and Georgetown's closest congressional neighbor, last week told a Gaston Hall audience that Hubert Humphrey deserved their support in his quest for the presidency.

Pell first explained he was in the Democratic Party because it was the party of "new ideas and the only party with a real interest in the poor, the colored, the young and the student."

He said the Republican Party "has not had a new idea in 50 years," and also cited the Democratic lack of timidity to bring a problem to a higher governmental level for a solution.

The Rhode Island Senator, originally a Robert Kennedy backer, said Hubert Humphrey fit well into the Party and compared Democratic policies to those of the Eisenhower-Nixon administration. He asked the audience to compare the three recessions "A polite Republican word for depression" of the Nixon vice-presidency with "90 months of continued economic prosperity" during the Humphrey and Johnson vice-presidencies.

Pell also cited the decrease in nationwide unemployment since John F. Kennedy took office eight years ago.

Moving from the domestic front to foreign policy Senator Pell conceded that his positions tread "thin ice." He has spoken for the minority plank in the 1968 Democratic National Convention, but has no qualms in his support of the Humphrey candidacy. The Senator said the Vice President is devoted to peace and progressive social legislation, and enumerated Humphrey's past accomplishments. He noted Humphrey's role in civil rights legislation, social legislation, and "his concern and passion for the little man."

Senator Pell concluded his address with an aside relaying his displeasure with the "alienated youth" who are viewing the presidential campagin from the sidelines. He contended that such a position of disinvolvement "helps elect a man more alien to their

own view." As a "dove and Kennedy Democrat," he advised youth to "make a valid judgment, to enhance the life at home and attain peace abroad."

Facing a battery of questions, ranging from the condition of the Democratic Party since August to America's sale of arms to Israel, Senator Pell replied with candor.

He shunned a direct verbal confrontation with a student who spoke for the concept that "campus disruption is our political power," by acknowledging that injustices exist in our society, but he said that they must be remedied within the system itself. He castigated Senator Eugene McCarthy's refusal to endorse the Humphrey candidacy stating the view that "Senator McCarthy won the approval of many youths and he thinks he would lose their faith by endorsing Vice President Humphrey."

When queried about the Chicago convention, the senator contended that "there were two Chicagos: the one as viewed on television, and the other which actually took place." The latter, he said, was more restrained in tone. Although he "deplored the police tactics," he also noted "an overreaction to the police."

He said, however, that the Convention had its beneficial effects. He substantiated his statement by citing the abolishment of the unit rule and the elections of delegations ~pen to the public.

Leadership Discussion Urges Spirit Of Trust

by Jim Carroll In an effort to create a better

understanding of the role of student government at Georgetown University, and to promote a spirit of trust and cooperation between student leaders and Administration, a Georgetown leadership conference took place over the weekend of Oct. 5 and 6 at the National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

The conference, originally the idea. of Dr. Phillip A. Tripp, vice president for student development, was attended by the officers of Georgetown's three student councils, elected class officers, and leaders of the several extra-curricular activities.

The conference agenda included several general sessions and several smaller discussion groups where specific problems and possible solutions were discussed. Dan Hurson, president of the Yard and a participant in the conference, said discussion centered on the responsi~'eness of student government to the students, the role of student government at Georgetown, the academic atmosphere and life in the dorms, the goals and priorities of the University, and the part students should play in the administration of the University.

Comments regarding the confer-

SUE PITTERICH

ence were, in general, very enthusiastic. Dave Hill, East Campus president for the class of '70, said "r thought it was a worthwhile experience; not so much because we found any specific answers to any specific questions but because it developed a friendly openness and cooperation that will make the solving of the problems much easier."

Sue Pitterich, president-elect of the Nursing School, noted however, "There was a com m 0 n realization that there are a lot of inadequacies in many of the structures at Georgetown."

Although agreeing to some of the suggestions for change, Yard President Hurson expressed some irritation with those people who openly ridicule the present systems without realizing the complexities or offering some concrete solutions.

Continuing on this, Hurson said, "There are basically two ways to handle any problem; a "radical" approach where the stUdents simply take what they feel is theirs or a "political" approach where the students work through the existing structures to solve the same problems. Although the results are often the same, the "radical" approach tends to step on some people and to create enemies where it's not at all necessary."

All three student leaders agreed that all results of the leadership conference will come from individual work and investigation on the part of particular stUdent leaders but that it will be much easier as a result of the conference. It was stressed that everyone left the Leadership Conference with a spirit of cooperation and willingness to work for the good of the University and the goals of Georgetown.

Voicing an Administration viewpoint, Robert .J. Dixon, director for Student Activities noted what he liked to call "The spirit of Chevy Chase", a strong feeling of mutual, optimistic cooperation between the various student governments and the Administration.

Poverty in Plenty This campus displays a peculiar propensity

for talk. The quality as well as consequence of the talk mayor may not match it for sheer abundance.

During the University's 175th Anniversary year, that Brobdignagian birthday party lasting from September of 1963 to December of 1964, the talk increased by leaps and bounds. Surprisingly enough, its quality was such that it has yet to be matched.

Gabriel Marcel came here to talk about "Science and Wisdom." Christopher Hollis examined "The Prophetic Vision of George Orwell." Stepehen Spender read his poetry, and Flannery O'Connor lectured on "The Catholic Novelist in the Protestant South." Other writers who came to add their thoughts were Edward Albee, Arthur Koestler, Vladmir Nabokov, and C. P. Snow. Talking about foreign policy were Hans Morgenthau, Barbara Ward, and Wayne Morse. Gunnar Myrdal and Michael Harrington addressed themselves to the problem of poverty. Even Pope Paul delivered a message, via satellite, at the Anniversary's opening ceremony; and President Johnson closed it all with a policy address. Chief Justice \\Tarren spoke somewhere in between.

The traditional Gaston and Walsh lectures alone could not accommodate these and quite a few other speakers. And so there suddenly appeared the Robert Plunkett Lectures in the Humanities, the Edward Douglas White Lectures in Law, the John Alexander Simpson Lectures in Art, and the James Curley Lectures in Science. Complementing all this were a seminar on "Poverty in Plenty" (which might be applied to the present speaker situation on campus), the Edmund Burke Symposium, and if these were not enough, the Holiday Symposium on Russia.

Amid such loquacity, it might be interesting to note, essayist Dwight Macdonald chose

to deliver a lecture on "The Use and Abuse of the English Language."

Recent programs have left little language to abuse, what with the apparent scarcity of speakers. Last year's Walsh Lecture Series, according to this year's chairman, "was a flop." The Gaston Lecture committee's only presentation was Dutch theologian Edward Schillebeeckx, who was hopping from one American university to the next anyway. The year's most popular speaker was poet Alan Ginsberg, sponsored by the Yard Culture Committee, which was not organized to host lecturers in the first place. The International Relations Club hosted King Hussein, whose addresg could not help but be a success-but the mc's upcoming program is not all that promising.

Surely the Anniversary Year's biggest asset.s in drawing speakers to Georgetown were what is commonly meant by assetsmoney. The University's present lecture committees and other organizations seeking popular lecturers can by no means match the Anniversary's funds. Yet there is another aspect that can and should be matched -central planning and organization.

There is little to be gained from several organizations sometimes working at odds with each other to obtain the same speaker. And there is nothing at all to be gained from contacting the very best speakers only a few months before the time desired for them to come to Georgetown-and find out that their schedules are already filled.

We strongly suggest that a University committee be formed to coordinate the programs of the various organizations. Such a committee could also enlist the support of alumni and friends across the nation who would be most helpful in contacting the desired speakers. Finally, the committee could obtain speakers far in advance because it would necessarily have the continuity that student organizations most of the time lack.

Gaston Hall Again Last week, we noted that Gaston Hall,

Georgetown's shrine to itself, has been defaced by a new covering for its stage that may be pleasing to the feet but not to the eyes. We now note that the hall is plagued by a malady that may be unpleasant to one's head. Its roof leaks.

It seems that Gaston Hall's roof has been distilling rainwater for quite some time. When the water finally seeped into the president's suite of offices below, repairmen were at last dispatched. Instead of darning the holes in the roof, they proceeded to mend the holes in the floor. No more rain drips into Fr. Campbell's offices now-but it continues to eat away at the paint in Gaston Hall.

The hall is slowly being disfigured by the

ugly blotches that result from the moisture. This acne has, in places, been cloaked under a Sherwin-Williams or Dutch Boy dermasil, the intricate floral patterns disappearing. A coat of paint was applied on one area when King Hussein spoke in Gaston last year. Now even the new coat is blistering. Those whose charge it is to care for the old place apparently have taken to heart a motto that appears on one of its walls: NOT WELL BUILT 'WALLS BUT BRAVE CITIZENS ARE THE BULWARKS OF A CITY.

\Ve suggest that the hall undergo a thorough restoration before it is too late to restore anything at all in it. Unlike the glory of Greece and the grandeur of Rome, Gaston Hall does not make for a very handsome ruin.

THE UNKNOWN LECTURER

Newsbriefs Representatives' from the School

of Business Administration and the College met this week to fonnulate a single pass fail program acceptable to both schools. The College currently requires at least a I·C" grade for pass while the counterpart program in the business school records any grade over "D" as a pass. The next planned step is the hopeful inclusion of the government department, currently balking at the prospect of pass/fail.

The Rev. Joseph T. Durkin, S.J., has gone on record in support of Cardinal O'Boyle's stand on the recent papal encyclical and the veteran professor in the Georgetown History department has criticized the 15 Georgetown Jesuits who last week supported the 44 dissident Washington priests. In an Oct. 12 letter to the Washington Post, he said, "I wish to dissociate myself publicly and unequivocally from the position assumed by those priests (who oppose the Cardinal's interpretation) . . . I dissent also from . . . my fellow Jesuits at Georgetown University who oppose the encyclical."

In other reaction to the statement issued by the 15 Jesuits, the Rev. Robert L. Faricy, S.J., of the Religious Education department at Catholic University, wrote in the Washington Post he learned of the statement "with sadness and even with shame." He agreed with the Georgetown priests' stand but said the statement was "six weeks too late" and missed the central issue of the authority of the Cardinal.

Another "gripe-in" with Yard President Dan Hurson listening to all comments directed his way, will be noon tomorrow at the main gate. Hurson said he hopes to make this a weekly affair to better represent the College students.

Prefacing his remarks to a Gaston Hall audience last week, Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-R.I.) cited what he called his two claims to fame at Georgetown. He noted his teen age daughter, Dallas, and the fact that he was one of the few University neighbors to originally vote not to object to issuance of a liquor licence to 1789 when it was in the planning stages.

A resolution stating a set of principles reaffirming stu den t rights to know all financial information pertinent to policy formulation was adopted unanimously by the Yard Sunday night. The same measure was endorsed by the Wash Area Student Council.

It has been decided to end an unsuccessful experiment of Monday night meetings for the Walsh Area Student Council. Meetings will revert back to their original Sunday night time slot. One reason for the move was an inability to make HOYA deadlines with a Monday night session.

Director of Housing James M. Buck has issued the perennial warning to the University community concerning eleva tor vandalism. Buck has warned elevators will be put out of service until missing parts are returned to the area administrator.

Letters to the Editor • • •

VIVA Me COOEY To the Editor:

As a recent graduate o,f both the Georgetown College and 1789, I wish to take exception to, among other things, the warped diatribe of Messrs.

I must take exception to your recent editorial, "Mr. McCooey and the Beer License." Basically, you present an insufficient analysis of the problem. This whole question should be considered on another level.

First, your central defense of 1789 is too limited. 'When we read that "the sole purpose of 1789 is to provide service to the University," you misguide our concern. Mr. McCooey cannot offer service without operating a sound business; otherwise his institution would wither. I must criticize the fact that the editorial fails to consider this connection.

Second, the University likewise provides a service-to the students. Just as with 1789, this service cannot be continued without sound financial practice. There is, however, a difference: the University's service is crucial; 1789's peripheral. As I see it, a beer license is a potential means of assisting the University to reach its goal of service. I readily admit that Georgetown does not need another source of beer solely for the purpose of making beer more widely available. But this could have a valuable impact on the operation of the cafeteria.

Beer should be sold only to reduce the monetary burden on the student. Ideally a license would enable either a reduction in current food prices or a brake on further increases. The significance of this added revenue must be determined in order to judge whether a license can be of practical value. That is the point which must be studied.

It is possible that these two financial intel"ests might clash. The University's service may endanger the existence of 1789. Which should triumph? Obviously, a greater good is served through the University.

I trust Mr. McCooey's claim that his object is service. It would be no less than tragic to lose 1789. Yet such a situation would mean that the general welfare has been advanced through the University proper, not an adjunct.

I regret the HOYA chose to defend a subordinate interest.

P. John Owen CoIl. '69

BEER BACKERS To the Editor:

The editorial in last week's HOYA was a discouraging note to many students-especially those who have worked hard to improve cafeteria services. The significance of the recent boycott and related Council hearings is that for once "non-politico" students are asking questions. To intimate that the obtaini.ng of a beer license is a "ready-made answer" is to miss the thrust of widespread student opinion. . . .

It is very clear now that students do not have answers to all

the questions that arise. However, students are now beginning to expect reasonable alternatives that are the result of forward-looking student political activity. Such activities must speak for the needs of the student rather than those of the administration or its financial interest.

It is not a question of maligning Mr. McCooey or his amazing myth of 1789 as the apha and omega of the University's social life nor is it ultimately a question of reducing his profit by the reality of competition. The fact of the matter is not "that Mr. McCooey has little concern for money-his own or anyone else's," but that 1789 cannot realistically meet the service needs of the University community.

Student interests should not be jeopardized by granting Mr. McCooey, Fr. Collins, or other administrators the "benefit of the doubt." If students do not get the license and other significant concessions during the next few weeks, there is a great likelihood that this matter will die a slow death. Eventually the administration may grant the demands but only in a manner which does not reflect student participation---witness alcoholic beverages rules dictated during the summer of 1966 or intervisitation guidelines decreed during the summer of 1968.

A student union is our ultimate goal, the beer license our first step, and Mr. McCooey's business "enterprise" our first obstacle.

RESTRAINT To the Editor:

The editoriai in last week's HOYA stated that I have clouded the issue of beer in the cafeteria with my "ambiguity"; hence, I have been, in this newspaper's view, derelict in my duty to "lead the College Student Body."

In this case, my conception of my duty led me to a different conclusion. With the creation of a special committee at the request of Fr. Campbell to study the beer license issue, I perceive my role as one of informing the committee of relevant student opinion, not prejudicing the objectivity of my appointees by taking a premature stand based on emotional rather than completely factual grounds.

This is a difficult and complex problem, and I hope this committee can sort out the pertinent issues and offer a thoughtful solution. In this situation, I feel a leadership role demands, on my part, restraint.

Dan Hurson President of the Yard

IN DEFENSE To the Editor:

I am writing in response to The HOYA's editorial of Oct. 10 entitled "Mr. McCooey and the Beer License," and I would like to particularly address my remarks to the college class of '70. Since they elected me to class office and since I've been singled out as an ignorant and/or hypocritical politico, I think they might be especially interested in what I have to say.

When I met with the junior class residents of 4th Copley on the night before the student boycott, my main concern was that they become involved in the boycott effort. I considered it then, as I do now, one of the most significant events since I have been at Georgetown in terms of clarifying student-Administration relations. At the time of the meeting it was clear to me, as to most, that concern for 1789 was largely behind the administration's withdrawal of a beer license for New South. However, the object of the boycott was not the beer license per Be, but rather the revelation of justifiable reasons behind the withdrawal of the license. At no point in the meeting did I "malign" Mr. McCooey or even mention his name. What I did say was that further steps might be necessary if no justifiable reason

Page Five

for the refusal of the license was made clear to the student body. In my opinion this had not yet been done. Whether this has in fact been done to date is strictly a matter, again, of individual opinion.

At the Yard meeting the following Sunday night I did indeed express my own and the Council's appreciation to Mr. McCooey for his devotion to Georgetown student interests. I don't consider this "hypocritical". Frankly, I see no reason why' one can't appreciate the '89 while at the same time appreciating the advantages of a beer room for New South. Even if the two institutions are incompatible, isn't it possible to see the value of both? ...

STUDENT CAPITAL To the Editor:

You will soon see buttons proclaiming, "GU gives a damn." Free speech is not the issue. Rather, the issue is more the redemption of the GU student's liberal conscience from the hells of apathy and radicalism.

There is on campus a movement which answers to the name FOCI -Foundation for Capital Involvement. This hybrid group sports as parents both GUCAP and the Yard. What brings these two together is the realization that the GU student needs and is needed in the development of the Washington inner-city.

FOCI will deal in capital. Student capital. Student capital to rebuild the ghetto. FOCI believes that the student can truly give more than his time and energy. He dm use his money, for, at this stage, gesture m 0 r e clearly becomes fact!

It might seem that students could hardly provide enough capital to redress any serious imbalance. Granted. But FOCI is dedicated to the principle that: private, de-centralized, personal, direct responsibility still has a place in the deterministic, authoritarian world in which we find ourselves. FOCI demands of the student that he accept his responsibility NOW. Until he does, until his studies mean something tangible, the student's cries for power elsewhere will only remain petulant colic.

How will the capital then be used? In various ways-as seed money or equity to attract larger Small Business Administration loans on the ratio of 1-9, for loans to local (community) development corporations which build and lease to minority entrepreneurs, for loans to already established ghetto business associations or banks.

Of interest today is the FOCIsponsored Washington G h e t t 0

Business Symposium. After opening analyses by the participants, a healthy dialogue with the floor will be maintained.

Those interested in working for FOCI are asked to contact Fred Perella (965-9561), Bob Thoms (965-5006), of the GUCAP office.

CARELESS To the Editor:

Over the past month of this academic year, it seems to me that Georgetown students and faculty have become increasingly careless in driving their automobiles on campus. I wish to remind all Georgetown faculty and students who drive cars that the White Cane Law of the District of Columbia applies on campus as well as outside the main gate. Violators who do not yield to the White Cane will be vigorously prosecuted. Please remember my life is as valuable as your car.

I(una, Hemsley, Barton Named To SFS Executive Committee

by Alan Silva Students of the S c h 0 0 I 0 f

Foreign Service have elected Thomas Kuna ('69), William Hemsley ('69), and Michael Barton ('70) to the school's Executive Committee. In winning, Kuna received 229 votes; Hemsley, 175; and Barton, 167. Dan Panzera ('69) with 155 votes; Jean Hunter ('69) with 109; Richard Boudrea ('70) with 106; Michael Barr ('70) with 75; and William Conway ('70) with 28, finished behind the winners.

Generally the three new members pledged to push for curriculum reform, a core faculty, and an independent budget. Although the subject of professionalism in the school was shunned to a degree, the three made it clear that there must be a de-emphasis of the study of Western thought and cultures in favor of an internationally accented course of study.

Barton said, "We must not have an ethnocentric basis for study; we have to learn in depth about other persons, cultures, and civilizations."

Franne Ficara, academic representative of the School of Languages and Linguistics, announced Thursday that the request for three student members on the Executive Committee had been approved by the president of the University, and called for nominations to the important posts to be held Monday, Oct. 21, at Palms Lounge at 8 p.rn. An all-school meeting which will grant the nominees a platform to speak from and the students an opportunity to question, will precede the elections of Oct. 23. Balloting

It was approved unanimously and sent on to Fr. Campbell for his consideration; within one week, on Thursday, Oct. 10, I received his approval. There will be students on the Executive Committee by its

That request goes before the. Executive Faculty where I suspeft approval will be given. I am no1i against it; indeed, I am in favor of it."

John Kelly, Walsh Area Student Council president, has indicated that a special election will be held on Nov. 8 to choose a successor to Kuna, who resigned to run for the Executive Committee of the School of Foreign Service. Freshman elections will also be held that day.

Success Is Spelled S-e-I-I-e-r-s I LOVE YOU, ALICE B. TOKLAS. Starring Peter Sellers, Jo Van Fleet and Leigh Taylor-Young. At the Fne Arts.

Harry Fine is a very Jewish, very content Los Angeles lawyer -content until his mother breaks in on one of his conferences with the news that Mr. Foley, who saved his life many years ago (or was it his brother Herbie?), has died. Of course, Harry decides to attend the funeral and realizes that Herbie (he's the brother) should put in an appearance, until Herbie decides to wear the traditional burial dress of the Hopi Indians to the wake and everyone is enraged. At this point, Harry's Lincoln Continental having been incapacitated, he is tooling around in an ancient Ford station wagon that is covered with psychedelia (you see, the body shop had no other car available). Well, Harry grows fond of Herbie's girl friend, picks her up hitchhiking and takes her to his Hefnerian home. Nothing happens except that the next morning, as a gesture of love, she whips up a batch of hashish (or is it marijuana?) brownies and Harry and his parents gobble them down while working out a seating plan for the wedding (oh yes, he's

marrying Joyce the receptionist). Chemical ecstasy suits him; thus the law practice is abandoned and Harry becomes a leading figure among the outer fringes of the underground.

In that brief plot summary, no more than seven or eight major complications and/or integral developments are i g nor e d. This lunacy and more comes to pass in 1 Love You, Alice B. Toklas-a crazyquilt of hilarity, the funniest film released so far this year. The reason for Alice's unqualified success is simple to discern: Peter Sellers. He is the ranking cinematic comedian of this decade, the Chaplin of the sixties. His repertoire is staggeringly vast-Inspector Clouseau, the diverse trio in Dr. Strange love, a sex-mad psychiatrist (What's New Pussycat?), an Italian movie magnate (After the Fo,c), a demented physician (The Wrong Box), even an In d ian laborer (The Party). Some of his roles have been better than others; some of his films memorable more for his genius than their own internal quality. Yet, no matter how mediocre, or even worse, a Seller::; star vehicle sinks (e.g., The Party was just awful) , there are always those flashes of comic that lumi-

From hashish to hedonism with the master.

nate the triteness he is working around. He is always superior to his material-he is perfection itself when his material comes close to equalling his talents, as it does in Alice. Harry Fine is one of the stand-outs in Sellers' small universe of characterizations. With practically anyone else playing him, he would have come across like a Yiddish Melvin Belli with overtones of Timothy Leary. In Sellers' hand, Fine is eminently believable and eminently amusing -not because his own attributes/ failings are exaggerated to the point where their absurdity is the source of humor, but because Harry is a real person involved in an unreal situation and his method of coping generates gales of admiring laughter. Sellers is brilliant and in Alice, he is exceptionally so. To use any other word seems strangely inaccurate.

Assisting Mr. Sellers in helping to form Alice into a sort of instant classic is the first script that captures adequately the jargon of the era (there's just something wrong with the word "groovy") without sounding like dialogue taped at a Falls Church Little Tavern. Director Hy Averback a p par e n t I y knows the secret of pacing a Sellers film-cut to the star as often as possible, a sure way to avoid the tedious stretches of boredom most comedy efforts lapse into.

Jo Van Fleet delivers the most notable performance' among the supporting players; she is an actress of considerable skill and predictably enough excels as a neurotic career girl eager for marital bliss.

1 Love You, Alice B. Toklas is a cornucopia of hip delights which strikes the proper balance between sociological t rut han d scriptwriter's embellishments-it does not compromise for effect and, best of all (sorry Doris Day!), does not end with glossy Hollywood insipidness by resolving everyone's problems with a swoop of the pen. There is no conclusion-nothing is solved at the film's end. All that we realize by then is that Peter Sellers is too fabulous for words and that is reason enough for Alice B. Toklas' existence.

Perversity-So Sad But So Ugly THE QUEEN. Directed by Frank Simon. At Janus I.

"There she is, Miss America. There she is-your ideal." Not Atlantic City and not Bert Parks. New York's The City Hall and Sabrina. 1967.

The Queen is a documentaryprobably the most fascinating one ever made. It chronicles several days in the life of Philadelphia's Harlow as she goes from sexy semi·transvestite to reigning Miss Drag Queen America of 1967. And in the process the whole American homosexual subculture is explored with brilliance, color, and wit.

makeup, hairstyle, poise, personality, all-around beauty. And the winner is . . . Harlow! The roses. The throne. The crown. Miss Crystal is claiming fraud and collusion. Sabrina is angry. Harlow's in tears.

They finger their thin gold wedding bands. Clothes. Hair. Makeup. They form a complete little universe among themselves.

Simon is masterful in his handling of the film. And the end product is brilliant. The contest has ended. The gowns and wigs have all been packed. The girls have gone home. Harlow is sitting in a phone booth in the New York bus station. She's alone although the station is crowded. She's twirling her crown. By now it's broken and bent almost entirely out of recognition. She can't fix it. And the telephone call never comes ....

Nothing really happened last week. At last things are back to normal. The cafeteriaphobes, even the most hysterical among them, were beginning to realize that perhaps, just perhaps, Richard McCooey is not the Howard Hughes of the restaurant world. Dan Hurson, the Yard's interior decorator, grasped another Nixon tactic (character assassination being the first) by staging a "gripe-in", the purpore of which was, nobly enough, to forment better relations between his administration and his constituents; the result of which was, sadly enough, a scene vaguely reminiscent of a combination Roman slave auction-cocktail party; phra~es dropped, enemies were made, issues were skirted, obstinacy exposed, but no one took much notice. It seemed too much like merely another Hursonian stunt to convince people that without spending a small fortune to bask in the exceptional mediocrity of Percy Sledge, one simply was not floating along in the Hoya mainstream.

The grounds look worse than ever. It appears Heinze Warnecke's masterpiece is reaching out to disrupt all our existences before it decides to turn the whole campus into one big clashing architectural Armageddon. Copley Lawn has become an obstacle course of crevices and pits which, to be successfully navigated, requires the agility of Rudolf Nureyev with just a dash of the pathfinding skills of Lewis and Clarke. The cranes and derricks creep inexorably forward though, and John Carroll is only hours away from being temporarily uprooted. They (whoe\rer they are) in form us the situation will be ameliorated forthwith. In the meantime, the grand old gang at O'Gara cordially invites all those who were wounded in the valiant effort to reach White-Gravenor to come down for a cup of coffee, a splint, and a few pills to while away the pain-filled hours.

Harbin Terrace was the place to be on Saturday (one of the few times it can boast of that rather dubious distinction) -a bold, new attempt to redefine the mixer occurred. Mc Luhan would have been proud. The medium was a band that believed in half-hour breaks after each rendition (the Vanilla Fudge?) assisted by an insufficient amount of National foam. The message was that it was an interesting idea, dreadfully executed, but an interesting idea nonetheless on how to utilize our facilities better. Maybe all of the Yard's Sunday evening donnybrooks can be moved to Healy Archives.

A Flea Market set up shop on Sunday amid the mounds of dirt, no comment on their wares, which ranged from portraits of Sarah Bernhardt to African voodoo idols, thus simplifying the year's shopping for the politicos.

But the week's peak of activity came when it was announced that a 500 mile marathon relay race was being conducted around the Walsh Building! Jesse Mann was pleased to discover that it was not an attempt to symbolize the plight of the Foreign Service school (around and around and around ... ) but actually something to do with the United Givers Fund-the connection is still unclear.

There isn't much to look forward to in the immediate futUre. Even the beer license controversy is degenerating into a ho-hum, well it's not that important sixty-eight versions of the continuing saga of parietals, which bored everyone to tears by the end of last year.

Dullness can be so theraputic. . . . Simon's major purpose is primarily just the recording of this annual beauty pageant in which "finalists" from local pageants all across the States are brought to New York for the "national" judgings. Billy, Sonja, Alfonso. The Misses Greater Washington, Baltimore, Stamford, Boston . . . all come to New York, hoping to wear the crown of Miss Drag Queen America. First problem: a hotel hip enough to put up the wigs, lashes and falsies. Even a hint of chaperones. The whole setup. Second problem: Tempermental Harlow has forgotten her wig. Panic. Tears. "All you damn queers get the hell out of here!" The gay young beauty sulks until a suitable fall can be found. Finally-the night of the contest. After days of practicing, the program is in readiness. Chorus. Bathtub rolled in with guy inside singing. Sabrina, torch singer in drag -emcee. The pageant begins. Twenty plus contestants in gowns and swimsuits. Point system-

The subject Frank Simon has chosen to handle with this film is important. It's also very touchy. And to his credit, he has tended to underplay the whole matter and its whole shock potential. There is no Warholesque nudity. Neither is there particularly gross language. The guys he films are in a controlled environment, among their peers-ergo, they are competely natural in speech and action. In fact, they are actually quite likeable. They know and accept what they are. And they enjoy it. They're happy. They see no need to make the trip to Johns Hopkins. At times they're very funny. At others, very sad. But they are never, never boring.

The Gazelle And The Genius

The pace of The Queen is rapid due to an excellent editing job and nearly flawless photography. An interview with Harlow, introduction to the girls, the actual contest-they just hit the viewer in successive scenic waves. The contest and its preparations dominate the film. But there are several moments given over to plain conversation among the contestants. "When did your parents finally find out that you're homosexual?" "Oh, I don't know. After my second or third husband, I guess." And, "Did you tell your draft board that you're homosexual?" "I didn't have to, dear. They told me." They talk about their husbands stationed in Japan.

The Maharishi has been shunned by almost everyone. No one ever bothers to tell Lyndon Johnson jokes these days. The St. Louis Cardinals clutched when they had the World Series wrapped up. The Beach Boys, even if they demothed their old surfer shirts, could not fill Copley Lounge. However, there is still hope for all that was once sacred. Simon and Garfunkel could have done encores until dawn at both the University of Maryland and Duke, on successive nights last weekend.

They were superb. They still exhibit quite a few of the engaging qualities of the coffee house performers they once were. Their music, born and nurtured in cafes both in England and in the states, is so good it needs no orchestral accompaniment. Art Garfunkel, the "shy gazelle" and sex symbol

(if that be possible) of the duet was bedecked in blue jeans and sweater. Paul Simon dressed much like the members of the old bohemian sub-culture. Together they blend almost perfect harmony (by mistake, they each sang different verses of "Mrs. Robinson" at the same time) with the truly great guitar playing of Simon.

Our generation has produced many great poet-songwriters including Bob Dylan, Lennon and McCartney, Phil Ochs, and others. Paul Simon ranks with the best. He not only writes and sings his poetry, he lives it. Many people have accused him of not relating to his audience. True, he speaks little and does not give himself physically to concert-goers. This is because he gives of himself so fully in his music. He and his guitar become one musical entity

that is practically incomparable-his solo rendition of "Angie" is unbelievably good.

Simon's songs all have a specific intent; they all comment on our social situation. This comment ranges from questioning the value of fame and fortune ("Richard Cory") to the perils of the lonely ("A Most Peculiar Man"). The power of his poetry is strengthened by his ability to put it to music. The true tribute to his musical greatness is that his poetry/songs are so smooth and melodious. If fault can be found with the music of Paul Simon, and, in fact, with the performances of Garfunkel and him on stage, it is that they sound so good on recordings that they find it hard to improve in concert.

Georgetown's Initial Beer License Dispute This is the second of a .two-part

feature. The following piece describes 1789's battle to obtain a liquor license.

by Don Casper Editor-in-Chief

There is no Ii ttle irony in the fact that Richard J. McCooey, proprietor of 1789, opposes a beer license for New South Cafeteria. To obtain his own liquor license, he endured two years of litigatioll in which he was opposed by two citizens' associations, a fairly awesome battery of attorneys with names like H. Struve Hensel and F. Trowbridge von Baur, and most everyone else who bore some gripe against Georgetown University. liq uor, or both.

The Washington Post adequately described the imbroglio. "This was . . . a civic controversy in the finest Georgetown civic tradition, featuring dignified cadences of solemn protest and lots of people scooting about with that Georgetown-at-war look." As McCooey himself describes it, "A couple of comedians across the street on Prospect characterized us as a saloon, a nightclub, a beerhall for students. They and their neighbors fought us."

The Opposition

The "comedians across the street" included one J. Struve Hensel, sometime Defense Department general counsel. His attorney in the dispute was his law partner, F. Trowbridge von Baur. (Their firm, incidentally, represented the Krupp industries in this country.) Leading the onslaught against the '89 were two Prospect St. neighbors, H. Alexander Smith and John Colie. Smith, a manufacturer, was president of the Murray Corporation of Baltimore; and Colie established the City Tavern, a private club on 'M' St. near Wisconsin Ave. They enlisted both the Georgetown Citizens Association and the Progressive Citizens Association. Representing their interests was Washington attorney Charles R. Richey.

Among the ranks of the opposition were David E. Finley and Linton R. Wilson, chairman and secretary respectively of the District of Columbia Fine Arts Commission. The commission had approved 1789's design-but Finley and Wilson aimed to keep it just that.

McCooey, faced with such an array, was not above some fancy footwork himself. "After all," he says, "we were fighting for our lives." His attorneys were Eugene Stewart and J. E. Bindeman. Needless to say, both were Georgetown alumni, Stewart later becoming president of the Alumni Association. M c Coo e y not e s "Stewart and Bindeman were pretty thorough lawyers. We had the strength all the way."

When plans for 1789 were first announced, attorney Richey announced that the establishment "would have a very substantial and detrimental impact on the existing character of the neighborhood." And when Georgetown residents start talking about "the existing character of the neighborhood," they mean business--or, more precisely, keeping business out. Richey went on to enunciate three reasons why the '89 should not be built. In the first place, there was "no need" for the restaurant, there being several similar establishments in the neighborhood. Secondly, the site, within a block or two of President Kennedy's church and Holy Trinity Grammar School, was "unfortunately chosen." Finally, there would not be enough parking space to handle the patrons.

The irate citizenry, of course, would rather have seen the entire 36th St. block between 'N' and Prospect Sts., done away with completely. It was the only block in the area commercially zoned, and the '89 would simply perpetu-

ate it. The residents had reason to fear that McCooey would do a bit more than simply perpetuate the block. He admits, "When I do something, I do it with the idea that it will last forever. Even if it doesn't, I like to think that it will."

Georgetown vs. Georgetown Smith and Colie in particular

were horrified at the prospect of a good many students gathering across the street from their homes. Many other residents opposing the '89 thought that the establishment would be yet another encroachment upon their community by the University. They unsuccessfully attempted to prevent the University from acquiring the three square block area outside its 37th St. walls and now sought to stop the school from doing what it wanted with the land. Entwined with fears of the University's encroachment were a thread or two of anti-Catholic sentiment. As McCooey remembers, "They called the University and the Holy Trinity complex 'the little Vatican.' For them, it was bad enough that there was a university in Georgetown. But worse yet, it was Catholic. And worst of all, it was Jesuit-that was the last straw." For good measure, however, the citizens enlisted the support of Sister Margaret Mary Sheerin, the superior of Visitation Convent.

The neighborhood's "similar establishments" of which attorney Richey spoke were Tehaan's and the Hilltop Cafe. The former has since been renovated into the '89 East, and the latter has been replaced by the '89 itself. The only similarity between these two establishments and the 1789 McCooey built is probably that all served food. Tehaan's, owned and operated by Joe, Lou, and Sam Tehaan, was lovingly called the "Original College G rea s y Spoon." Begun by the three brothers' father in 1911 as a grocery store, Tehaan's sported the unofficial motto, "Cheap food at low prices." As for the Hilltop Cafe, it was operated by the Margoulas brothers. McCooey describes it as U a formica palace furnished in early Halloween." He thoughtfully adds, "If I hadn't bought it, the health departm~nt would have closed it down."

In 1960, when the University bought and land and the buildings which the '89 now occupies, McCooey, as president of R.J.M., Inc., bought the businesses there. Two adjacent buildings stood on the property at 11224-26 36th St. One housed the Hilltop Cafe; and the other, at the corner of 36th and Prospect, boasted Jung Sing Chinese Laundry. The Hilltop's Class D liquor license, permitting the sale of beer and light wines, reverted to R.J.M., Inc. as a result of the sale. Several area residents, seeking to block the license's transfer, filed a protest with the ABC Board too late. In

the past, no one had ever objected to the Hilltop's holding a liquor license.

But in 1961, when R.J.M., Inc. applied for a Class C license, permitting the sale of hard liquor, the citizenry girded themselves in time; and a battle befitting the Women's Christian Temperance Union broke loose. In fact, a teatotaling Protestant congregation in Texas served notice that it would pray for the success of the '89's opponents. The Washington Post called the subsequent fray before the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board "one of the strangest episodes in its history." According to McCooey, "The cases covered every means which citizens could employ to prevent something." The 1789 litigation has been alloted a chapter in Business Decision Making in Government Policy: Cases in Business and Government, a textbook published two yea l' sag 0 b y Prentice-Hall.

On September 25, the ABC hearings began with nine citizens testifying in opposition to the '89 with the board already having received some 13 letters against the issuance of the license. The citizens also presented petitions circulated in the neighborhood by block captains. They found that one of their embroyo objections-that the '89's site was unfortunately chosen"-could be com e their major thrust. Not only was the site unfortunately chosen as a matter of sensibility, they contended, but, as a matter of law, a liquor license there would be downright illegal. The ABC code states that a license may not be issued to an establishment within 400 feet of the "street main entrance" of a church or school. Not only would the '89 be within 400 feet of Holy Trinity Grammar School but its site was directly across the street from. Georgetown's School of Foreign Service. And so McCooey, Stewart, arid Bindeman set out to prove, surprisingly enough, that 1789 would not be within 400 feet of any school's "street main entrance."

Nowhere Near a S.chooI

McCooey easily established that the "street main entrance" of the Foreign Service School, as part of Georgetown University, was not across the street from the '89's site, but rather at 37th and '0', the University's main gate. The University administration readily agreed. Holy Trinity Grammar School was a different matter altogether. Both McCooey and the opposition hired surveyors to determine the exact footage between the '89's site and Holy Trinity.

The grammar school does indeed lie within the 400 foot limit. But the Rev. Martin Casey, S.J., then Holy Trinity's pastor, decreed that the "street main entrance" to the grammar school was not the school's portal on

. '.' .'. '"= .~.:r-; .. :........: .. ).

36th St. but rather the portal of the Church itself. And the driveway used by the grammar school's bus, according to Fr. Casey, was not the one behind the grammar school but rather the one behind Holy Trinity High School on '0' St. The opposition, needless to say, did not believe Fr: Casey. At the hearings, the citizens produced movies of students entering Holy Trinity Grammar School by way of the building's own front door. Witnesses testified that "girl guards" were later posted at the school's entrance. The guards apparently forced the children to mount the steps to the church, double back, and finally enter the school through a basement door. Another witness stated that Fr. Casey rerouted a bus that had stopped in the driveway behind the school.

As McCooey now recalls, the 400 foot limit argument "was merely a smokescreen." Stewart and Bindeman soon took a different tack-which finally nailed the opposition. They uncovered a regulation prphibiting the Alcoholic Beverave Control Board from denying licenses to businesses established before 1934, the year Prohibition was repealed. The Hilltop, whose rights reverted to R. J.M., Inc., dated from 1928. On this basis, the ABC Board unanimously approved a class C license for 1789 on December 12. The license would become effective, however, only if the renovation of the structures at 1224-26 36th St. were completed.

"N otlting to Rule On" But on January 19, 1962, some

23 Georgetown residents brought suit against the ABC Board in the United States District Court asking that the '89's license be revoked. Judge Edward M. Curran simply dismissed the suite because, as he said, "there was nothing before me to rule on." The

license, it seems, never did become effective because McCooey never did complete the renovation by January 31, the end of the license year.

McCooey then applied for a new license, and the ABC Board set new hearings. The hearings were announced before Judge Curran dismissed the suite against the first license, and the citizen plaintiffs sought to obtain an injunction preventing the hearing, until the judge had ruled on the suit. F,;ailing to obtain the injunction because of the failure to obtain a ruling, the citizens nevertheless managed to postpone the hearings. They claimed that the ABC Board had not sufficiently notified the com m u nit y 0 f McCooey's new request. One lady complained that the type on an ABC broadside was so fine that she returned home for her opera glasses in order to read it.

At any rate, the board approved a second license for 1789 on April 20, and the action was upheld by the court, which retained jurisdiction. All renovations were then completed by July, when the license became effective. In August, the '89 was open for business. Meanwhile the citizenry brought the case to the District Court of Appeals. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and R.J.M., Inc. were co-defendents in the suit, the former represented by the D.C. Corporation Counsel and the latter by Bindeman and Stewart. The plaintiffs argued that the '89 deprived them of property without due process because the establishment lowered property values in the area. The appeal was denied in July of 1963.

"""""'''F~~:;::.=_.=_ ==== IB6'==========:::j+H# .-._,-,-.- ,-,-.-.. 419 89'

The citizens then talked about setting the case before the Supreme Court. No constitutional i~sue, however, could be found in the liquor license dispute. In one last effort to close the '89, they protested to the Board of Zoning Adjustment that the restaurant occupied more space on its lot than was allowed for a parcel of that size. They also noted that there were inadequate parking facilities. When the Board ruled in favor of the '89, they again brought suit in the District Court. The court for once ruled in favor of the plaintiffs-and this time R.J.M., Inc. appealed the decision. But the dispute was settled outside of court . H. Alexander Smith, the opposition's financial as well as emotional wellspring, had died-and the citizens lost interest. They resigned themselves to 1789's existence.

There may be irony in the fact that Richard McCooey now himself opposes the granting of a liquor license, even if it is only Class D-but there is little contradiction. As he says, when talking about his two-year battle, "\Ve were fighting for our lives in those hearings." In the present dispute, he is doing precisely that.

(Continued from Page 2) ies." Hauser appeared reluctant, however, to begin closer association with other lecture organizations until the ann i v e r s a r y events are concluded. Hauser is currently working to get Senator Eugene McCarthy. Hauser said that he had exchanged a number of letters and calls with the senator's office, and although plans were not yet definite, he feels he has a "fairly decent chance" of getting McCarthy. "After all, said Hauser, "his daughter went here last year and the campus showed a lot of interest in the senator's campaign."

Committe,e Attends Hauser hopes to set up a December debate between Arthur Okun, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, and William McChesney Martin, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. The two would discuss the interaction of monetary and fiscal policy. Hauser has received no answer from either of the economists, but feels he has a better chance of getting Martin than Okun.

'68 Prayer Breakfast by Rufus Lusk

Approximately 25 Georgetown student, faculty, and administrative leaders a t ten d e d MayorCommissioner Walter Washington's Prayer Breakfast in the Grand Ballroom of the Mayflower Hotel last Thursday. This was the 12th annual prayer breakfast for the nation's capital.

Around 800 people were in attendance at the breakfast, which was sponsored by a citizens' committee headed by .John A. Logan and Douglas R. Smith. Mr. Logan reaffirmed the guiding principle of the breakfast when he said, "Leaders continue to seek support of God. We join hands and hearts to ask his blessings upon our comrp.unity, that it may be a happier, healthier, safer, more Godly place."

The two main speakers on the program were the Hon. John O. Staggers, .Jr., special assistant to Mayor-Commissioner Washington, and the Hon. Walter E. Washington, Mayor-Commissioner of Washington, D.C.

Mr. Staggers spoke for several minutes about a prayer breakfast group which he helped start this year. He said, "In our day and age there is incredible alienation in society: black and white, rich and poor, educated and illiterate. The only common bond that these people have is a spiritual one, and the only way they can ever come together is through a recognition of a higher authority."

Mayor Washington, in his address, said, "If ever there was a time when our city needed a moment of prayer and affirmation of faith it is now." He emphasized that many of the goals of our society are now reachable, and yet we totter between the point of destruction and fulfillment. "We must face up to the myriad problems of today," he continued, "looking to God for our strength and vision. We and the institutions which we represent must be flexible to meet the changing needs of an accelerating society." The mayor concluded by saying,

"Our goal must be like that of Robert F. Kennedy when, following the death of Martin Luther King, .Jr., he said, 'Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago, "Tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of the world", and say a prayer for our country and for our people: "

Following the breakfast, there was an hour-long seminar for area students and educators. Georgetown had the largest contingent, headed by HOYA Editor Don Casper, Yard President Dan Hurson, Edward R. Klein, .Jr. dean of men, Foreign Service Dean Dr . .Jesse Mann, and the Rev. Royden B. Davis, S . .J., College dean. Also participating were representatives from American U., Catholic U., George Washington U., Howard, and Washington and Lee. About 60 in all were present.

At the seminar, Mayor Washington spoke briefly, followed by Mr. Staggers. The Mayor's assistant commented on the future of black power. A former professor, he noted that he once taught Stokley Carmichael, adding, "But I taught him statistics-not philosophy." The remainder of the seminar, moderated by Editor Casper, was devoted to a discussion on campus spiritual welfare programs and programs for Washington's blacks.

The Walsh Lecture Series would also like to get Senator Mark Hatfield (R, Oregon), New York Mayor .John Lindsay, and various State Department officials for the second semester.

Gaston Lecture Series, a committee of the Yard, is chaired by Nick Cariello and Mike Monaco. Cariello started working on a series during the summer and had tentatively called it "To Seek a Newer World," the title of Robert Kennedy's book. It was planned that speakers would lecture using chapter headings as topics. Kenneth Clark and Robert Hutchins, author of the book The Learning Society, now working at the Institute of Democratic Studies, were to speak on education. Stokely Carmichael was to lecture on civil rights, and Senator Ted Kennedy was to give an address on the problem of the Vietnam war.

Cariello abandoned plans for this series owing to his "small budget". The amount, he said, is classified. He also cited a large number of speaker rejections, many due to election obligations. Working with the Rev. Royden B. Davis, moderator of the Gaston series, Cariello

now plans to "get as many speakers as possible for as cheaply as possible."

Planned for the first semester are Mayor .Joseph Alioto of San Francisco, who delivered Hubert Humphrey's nOminating speech; Sen . .Joseph Tydings (D, Maryland), original backer of the gun control bill; Sen. Gale McGee (D, Wyoming), administration supporter on Vietnam; Harrison Salisbury, N.Y. Times editor and first American newsman allowed in North Vietnam; George Wiggins, newly appointed Ambassador to the U.N. and former editor of The Washington Post; Daniel Moynihan, urbanologist from MIT; and Willard Wirtz, Secretary of Labor.

Cariello admitted that last year's Gaston series was a failure. Last year, said Cariello, the series set its sights on 10 to 15 speakers without considering whether they would ever be in Washington. Cariello's approach this year is "opportunistic." "We will use all the connections we have. If good people corne to Washington, we're going to grab them. This involves work on a moment's notice."

Cariello wants coordination between lecture groups, and would like to see all speaker groups work through Mr. Robert J. Dixon, director for student activities, to set up a University Speakers Bureau. The bureau would be separate from any club or political organization. It would pool connections and capital, and thus offer the best chance of getting excellent speakers on campus. All speakers requests would be placed directly with the bureau. Cariello feels a lecture bureau of this type "without a doubt offers fantastic educational advantages

to the student. All that remains is to convince very selfish student leaders."

Sven Doehner, chairman of the Free University Lecture Series, explained his program in the following manner:

"The purpose of the Free University Lecture Series is to expose different interest groups around the campus to figures of political, social, and economic importance. In addition to bringing sensational lecturers to Georgetown, this organization plans to sponsor programs of a seminar nature, in which the speaker will only play the role of a catalyst for discussion.

"Although definite commitments have not yet been secured, there is good reason to expect guests like the following to visit our campus during the school year: Joseph Heller, author; Paul Newman, actor; Richard Pry 0 r, comedian; Leroy Jones, Black Power advocate; Lawrence Ferlinghetti, poet; Morris We s t, author; Pat Paulsen, T.V. personality; Waiter Heller, economist; William Goldman, author.

Young Democrats' president Mike Cracowski hopes to get .Julian Bond, a member of the Georgia legislature, who was the leader of the insurgent delegation opposed to Lester Maddox at the Democratic Convention. Bond, a McCarthy supporter, will be in Baltimore around Nov. 20. Cracowski has received no reply from Bond as yet.

Channing Phillips, who was nominated for president at the convention, is also being sought. He is chairman of the D.C. State Central Committee. Plans call for him to speak at the end of October.

Curriculum Weak Spots Cited By Professors Giles, Quigley

(Continued from Page 1) Service School Administration, students became aware of the problems confronting their school. Participants in the evaluation agreed that extensive curriculum reform and structural changes were necessary. Dr. Jesse A. Mann, dean of the Foreign Service School, concurred, and replied that if students and faculty could agree on a "feasible plan of curriculum reform" he could see no reason why it would not be instituted.

The Conference concluded that an ideal curriculum for a school of foreign service would be interrelated, presenting an international affairs orientation within a broad perspective. It should not be a disjointed "grab-bag" of specialties, which many conference participants felt the present curriculum was approaching.

Several methods of reform were suggested. Dr. Jewel Davie's proposed a four course per semester plan to free the students' and teachers' time and to allow for greater flexibility. In the first year a seminar would be taught by a member of the English department and a member of either the

DEAN MANN

history, government, or economics department. The emphasis would be on writing and approaches to literatUre with assignments focusing on particular subjects such as Utopianism in America or PostColonial America. A freshman would also take a history course "primarily concerned with the development of western civilization until the French Revolution, and giving some attention to the historical Significance of contacts with the non-western world," mathematics, and U.S. History.

The sophomore year would be an integrated program taught by a team of professors from economics, government, and history, containing large lectures and small group seSSions, focusing on the development of the modern world, and emphasizing the political and economic relationships among nations.

The third year would consist of two electives in economics, government, history, or international trade and transportation, one elective outside of the three departments, and philosophy.

In the senior year a student would take "a seminar focused on a problem area and led by three professors, one from each of the three departments", theology, and two electives in government, history, and international trade and transportation. A student could specialize by using his junior and senior electives and seminar. Students would be required to demonstrate proficiency in a modern language before graduation. Language courses could be taken as electives.

Dr. Quigley, professor of history, has suggested that the current problem with the School of Foreign Service is that "many of the courses no longer contain what they should contain, or even what their titles would lead one to expect, because their teachers are

off riding a hobby-horse somewhere instead of teaching what the School of Foreign Service curriculum requires them to teach." Freshmen are therefore no longer taught logic, are offered "impressionistic studies of literature, rather than the training in verbal communication skills which the curriculum requires", and "may well graduate with all kinds of specialized knowledge in government but unable to define basic concepts."

Another gap is left in the curriculum, states Dr. Quigley, by the lack of a geography course which was cancelled "simply because the teacher of that course refused to teach the course described in the syllabus." Noting yet another weak spot in the curriculum, Dr. Quigley has remarked that "as a CUlmination of all these erosions of a once excellent program, the fitting together of the courses has become disjointed, (and) the years of study have become unbalanced, so that the freshman year is too easy and the sophomore year too difficult. "

Dr. Walter 1. Giles, professor of government, turned to the problem of the structure of the school and its relationship to the rest of the University. "It is the consequence of some fifteen years of integration," stated Dr. Giles, "which has raised the identity question (of the School of Foreign Service) today. The process of integration made the school a part of the general education process here. As a result, the school lost control of its curriculum, budget, and most important, its faculty.

"Since it is the departments ... who recruit, hire, and promote the irrespective faculties, a Georgetown professor today relates directly to his department and not to a particular school. In such crucial matters as course offerings, size of classes, quality of instructors, educational and administrative services rendered to students, it is impossible to ignore the fact that the School of Foreign Service has so often been the stepchild of the integrated departments. Since integration the University has developed the 'trickledown' policy. That is, if the University develops a good graduate school, some of this knowledge will overflow and trickle down to the undergraduates. Therefore, we have to consider the possibility of establishing quasi-autonomy for the School of Foreign Service."

Michael J. O'Leary: The Man Behind Student Food Issues

Rarely has a student better fit the typical "Big Man on Campus" label than does Georgetown's Mike O'Leary. O'Leary, who represents sophomore class interests in the Yard and who has spearheaded efforts for a campus beer license, can usually command any group's attention when he rises to llis !Ull height of 6 ft. 3 inches and speaks with all the gusto a 275 pounder can manage.

Man In The News

The recent cafeteria boycott, an unqualified success, was just that due mainly to the vast research and organization tackled by this 19-year-old resident of Portland, Ore. This capacity for uncovering every pertinent detail was responsible for council approval of the boycott.

Mike came to Georgetown from

Jesuit High School in Portland. There he served on student council and was editor of the school paper ("1 didn't join The HOY A because 1 learned my lesson."). It was in working as co-ordinator in an advisory youth committee for Gov. Mark Hatfield in an unsuccessful attempt to lower the Oregon voting age, that O'Leary had his "first real contact with politics."

When he came to Georgetown ("To study government, you go where the government is."), Mike jumped quickly into the political arena by running for and winning election as freshman class representative. He then disproved a widely held belief that freshm'ln officers are never heard from again, by winning re-election easily in spring ballotting.

He said he was influenced by last year's Yard President Larry O'Brien, who told the freshmen,

"If you don't like something at Georgetown, change it; and if you don't want to change it, you better leave the school." Mike decided to change it.

He ran for class representative because "the class presidency would drive me out of my skull. Those social events. Good grief! 1 don't see how the presidents keep their sanity."

But while most agree that Mike O'Leary has kept his sanity, he certainly has sacrificed his free time and, as his teachers will attest, most of his study time. Mike sheepishly admits he attended only 13 classes in the first four weeks of the term.

While he professes no immediate interest in future political posts a~ Georgetown, Mike's future does indeed look rosy, and he, has been mentioned as a possible candidate for Yard president next year. It is this very speculation, however, that bothers Mike. He said some thought he was the object of a HOYA editorial last week and some people thought it should have read "representative of the class of '71," not '70.

"1 think it is a shame that people have to attach false, selfish motives to everything 1 do. The HOYA has every right to its editorial opinion and, in fact, 1 am very grateful to the paper for the major role it played in making the boycott a success. My complaint is with the letter writers who think 1 do everything for myself. 1 might be a politico but everything 1 do isn't political."

Delivering a crushing blow, however, to those who might suspect Mike O'Leary of using the cafeteria boycott as a steppingstone to the U.S. Senate, Mike says he just wants to be a teacher.

The Washington Action Corps, a group of citizens concerned about the myriad social problems in the nation's capital, had their first meeting on the Georgetown campus recently.

The group is concerned about "improving the social, educational, and environmental living conditions within the District of Columbia through non-partisan community action." It stems out of a nationwide organization of people who dedicated themselves to this work after the slaying of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. They believe that there is an opportunity for Georgetown students to make an immediate, effective, and helpful contribution to the D.C. community in these areas.

The meeting, attended by over 40 people, heard Bill Joyce (SFS '64), the coordinator of the George-

town program, introduced the concept of the Washington Action Corps. Mr. Terry Lebenworth, a former Kennedy aide, and Miss Peggy Fulton, a Howard graduate who has been working in local voter registration, both spoke for 20 minutes about the aims and plans of the program.

One of the chief objectives of the Corps in the near future is the launching of a program to make D.C. citizens aware of the present school crisis. Going along with this will be a voter registration drive and a forum to discuss school problems. A second proposed program is the setting-up of a "big brother" system between kids in trouble with the law and college students. Mr. Lebenworth feels that too often these kids are totally neglected by our society.

Both speakers emphaSized that WAC is concentrating on urban problems, not partisan politiCS.

SHLOCK ROCK? To the Editor:

We wish to register a protest, which we believe is popularly supported, against the recent se~ lection of pop g~oups for George~ town social events. As we have been told, we are going to be treated to Percy Sledge for the Fall Festival, and Gary Puckett and the Union Gap for the Homecoming weekend. There is a rumor afloat that the Vanilla Fudge are to be chosen for an event later on in the academic year.

Our protest deals with the above mentioned groups, the method of selection, and the selectors. We are sorry to inform the wise men who deliberate on the selecting panel that the students of Georgetown are not the teeny bopper market catered to by WEAM or any other trashy shlock-rock station. The grievous misapprehension that the only way to insure the financial success of an event by having a top 40 group is appalling. The students of Georgetown might appreciate some honest, stimulating musical talent, not the repetition of "Woman Woman," "Younger Girl," "Lady Will Power," et a1. Why don't the gurus and seers of the selecting board hire some group that has I?roven its talent on an LP, or by lIve performances. The live performance is the true test of a group, and it is here where the miserable excuses we are going to have fall flat on their collective faces.

ALUMNI FAILURE To the Editor:

Any university is comprised of four components each necessary unto itself and each other: the students, faculty, administration, and alumni. Each one of these segments complements the others. Without a close relationship among the four, the accomplishments will be few and the relevance to the entire university will be slight ....

The Alumni Association House is passed daily by students, but the events, failures, and accomplishments of this enigmatic association are never known beyond the fact that they have hired a new secretary to sit in the window. The point is that the sur-0val of this UniverSity is very

much dependent upon its alumni. The alumni must therefore be

involved relatively as much as the other three parts of the University. The alumnus must be an integral part of this University, not only before he becomes such, but even after he has held the title for fifty years. The strength of the University lies chiefly in the bond among its members.

Having recently realized this, the Alumni Association has expanded the availability of positions on the alumni committees to students. Previously there was only the Student-Alumni Rei a t ion s Committee. However, this is only the first step in an area which is definitely lacking achievements.

The effort must come from both sides-the alumni most certainly should take a greater step forward to involve the students before the spring of senior year, but at the same time the students must make an effort to meet the alumni in this endeavor.

The Yard Committee on Student-Alumni Affairs is going to hold a joint meeting with the comparable committees of the Nursing School and the Walsh Area Thursday, Oct. 17, at 9 p.m. in Copley Lounge. We would urge all who have any interest in this matter to attend.

Last Tuesday (Oct. S) a yourig Negro man was stoPPEld for jaywalking at 14th and IU Streets NW, and subsequently fatally shot by a police officer. I was surprised to read in The Washington Post article about thE: victim that he had recently been employed at Georgetown as a cleaning and maintenance man. But I was disturbed to discover that this man had a police record of three arrests, the last charge being housebreaking and larceny, for which he had been convicted and imprisoned for six months.

The Washington, D.C. Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences will be offering a five hundred dollar scholarship to talented students expressing interest in entering the field of broadcasting, regardless cf their academic major.

(Continued from ) tem", and not "throw the baby out with the water."

When asked if he thought that the SDS has had any impact at Georgetown, Professor Stanmyer answered that he did not believe so, largely because the students were "apathetic" to it. This answer drew two responses from people in the audience. One student stated that he felt few Georgetown students were in the SDS because they disagreed with both its goals and methods. Barry Rubin (CoIl. '71), a member of the SDS, disagreed, saying Georgetown students were apathetic because of a "feeling of powerless-

ness," and the inability to accomplish anything within the system. He said that the purpose of the SDS is to help students attain the "right to freedom" which has thus far been withheld from them by administrators-whom he characterized as men who always "manipulate channels to their advantage."

When asked what the SDS could do at Georgetown, Professor Stanmeyer answered that they could try as much as their commitment would allow them-anything from printing flyers and papers to sponsoring free university courses and symposiums to organized protests.

(Continued from Page 1.6) sidering the fact that he was running with both a leg injury and a case of tonsilitis. Before his injury, Lane had finished in a deadheat with Stageberg in a time trial over the course.

Lane was followed in the meet by Villanova's Chris Mason, the Wildcats' fourth man to finish, but t h r e e Hoyas-John Bucinsley, Denny Potts and Val Fadziewiczall came in ahead of Villanova's fifth man and final scorer, Andy O'Reilly.

Because only the first seven men for each team count as "placers", with the first five figuring in the scoring, O'Reilly was awarded twelfth place, even though he was actually the thirteenth man home.

Coach Benedek felt that Stageberg did a "marvelous job". After Donnelly had taken an early lead, Stageberg decided to stay behind the Villanovan and to try to outkick him at the finish. The Hoya senior followed Donnelly around the first of two 2~-mile circuits of the course, gradually reducing a 30 to 40-yard Donnelly lead to a few yards.

Then, near the end of the first circuit, the Wildcat became unsure of the course route, slowed his pace, and actually turned to Stageberg to ask him the correct route. Rather than break his stride, Stageberg assumed the lead.

Donnelly stayed close until Stageberg opened a 10-15 yard lead on the hill leading down from Kehoe field to the lower field and the finish line. Donnelly kicked near the finish and closed the gap somewhat, but Stageberg sustained his fast pace and the Villanovan couldn't catch him.

This was the first meet on the recently realigned Georgetown

course. Campus construction over the past two years has necessitated an annual rerouting of the course, and the team has jokingly nicknamed the course "Construction Course".

Coach Benedek has been very proud of his team's efforts, not only in the Villanova meet, but during practice as well. He remarked that "the team is honestly working; they have wonderful spirit such as I have never seen before at Georgetown." With regard to the meet, he said, "I am very proud to beat Villanova anytime."

Coach Benedek singled out the efforts of Stageberg and Ryan against Villanova, and remarked that the victory was achieved by a Hoya team which was at less than full-strength due to Lane's handicaps and to the absence, due to injury, of Garth McKay, last year's top frosh runner.

Benedek feels that McKay's absence offset any disadvantage which Villanova may have felt due to the absence of their Marty Liquori, who is in Mexico City as

a member of the U.S. Olympic team.

The victory over Villanova naturally brings to mind the possibility of an IC4A or even of an NCAA championship for the Hoya harriers this season.

Coach Benedek feels that it is too early to make any long range predictions, but he added that the members of the team "have the talent, and they are living for and dreaming of the NCAA and IC4A." He stated that the performance of his runners in their first meet was "a good sign" and that the return to form of Lane and McKay, coupled with the gradual improvement of some of the others, should strengthen the squad even more.

With regard to the national championship, Benedek add e d that "we have a chance, and if the boys want it, they are able." Desire and ability are what bring championships to a team, and if their performances over the past few weeks are any indication, the Hoya harriers have plenty of both.

The excitement of marching onto the field is something that I don't think any of us could prepare for.

J before us received one of the loud-• est cheers of the day. All that we

were aware of was that we were received very well. The Ameri-

But the excitement and the feeling were culminated in the

There are twenty to twenty-five bays for shells and a large locker room where each country has one or two separate rooms. The facilities are just magnificent. We understand that the Mexicans spent $2.5 million on the rowing and kayak complex alone.

In today's competition, rowing was one of the first sports to get underway_ By the time you will have read this, I assume you will have learned that we have advanced to the semi-finals on Thursday. Our single, eight, and fourwithout-coxswain entries must go through the repechages on Tuesday in order to advance to the semi-finals on Thursday. We were, of course, please to win today; however, in general, we thought our performance would need improvement if we were to win a gold medal on Saturday.

For the first time in perhaps a week it was a very hot day and, I think, at this point, all of us are very tired after the first day of racing. It was the first time in over a month at high altitude that

we have actually competed over the full 2000-meter distance with crews of our own class. We have, of course, competed within our own squad, pairing the boats of similar speeds such as the four-with and four-without coxswain. But in general we were in need of solid experience over the full course agaim;t our own competition.

At this point, I expect that a good many of our American crews can reach the finals. The races today gave us a good indication of whom we had to beat and also which of our crews had the potential for gold medals. In our pair we know that we will have a very hard time with the crew from the Netherlands. The New Zealand and West German eights are both very strong, and although we feel that our Harvard crew has good speed, they will have to race very well in order to gain a medal. The U.S. double sculls victory was a pleasant surprise today. The Swiss double which had been undefeated since Tokyo in 1964 was an unexpected loser. So, in general, we find that in the OlympiCs the old favorites do not always do so well. This is not really unusual but perhaps the high altitude has had a leveling effect on all of us.

Last week Georgetown cross-country coach Steve Benedek was downplaying his team's dual meet against Villanova. "A victory at this stage really doesn't mean too much to either team psychologically," the Hungarian-born Benedek was saying. But after the Hoya long-distance men trounced their rivals from Villanova, 25-32 last Saturday, it appears that the cagey Benedek was just being coy in his remarks. The victory did mean a lot to the Georgetown harriers, and any skeptic would only have to look at Benedek's and the runners' elation after the final results of the race were posted.

Villanova is number one in track and cross-country in the East. Their head coach, "Jumbo" Jim Elliot, annually attracts top rate running talent to the Wildcat campus. Five of his proteges are now competing in the Olympics. Elliot also has a freshman squad this year which boasts of six runners who ha ve clocked under 1 :54 for the 880. For the last two autumns, the Wildcats have captured the IC4A and NCAA cross-country championships, and they promised to be contenders again this fall.

By soundly pinning Villanova back, the Georgetown runners proved to themselves that they can handle the men from Philadelphia. The win bolstered the confidence of Coach Benedek's squad, and it started momentum rolling for the season.

Villanova is only the first hurdle on the Hoyas' road to the IC4A and NCAA championships in November. Lying ahead on schedule are William and Mary, Penn State, Navy, and Manhattan. None of these outfits appear to be too potent. Coach Benedek hopes to sustain "the momentum of the victory over Villanova through the dual meet schedule and have his runners at their peak for the IC4A's, Nov. 18 at Van Cortland Park in New York. The NCAA finals are a week later at the same location. This is a definite advantage for the Georgetown runners, who have run the Van Cortland course before and are familiar with it.

ing that Martinez had interfered with a Towson shooter, was questionable at best, but the Hoyas still had a comfortable 3-1 lead.

Tempers started to flare early in the fourth quarter, as Towson began to harass and deliberately rough up goalie Martinez. But Georgetown kept up the offensive pressure, as Emilio Sicre scored his third goal on a penalty shot, after Montero was fouled viciously right in front of the goal. Montero himself also scored again on a blistering line drive from pointblank range. At this point, Coach Ricardo Mendoza emptied the Hoya bench, and Towson managed to score a second goal when an unmarked player headed in a corner kick. Late goals by "Junior" Prieto and Felix Terruzzi added icing to Georgetown's victory.

Although All-American candidates Sicre and Montero were the undoubted stars of the game, the poised midfield play of sophomore halfbacks Roger Epee and Ignacio Gil-Cazares must not be overlooked. Even fullbacks Chris Kennedy, Dean Conway, and Kafie Schucrie played steadily, after their rather shaky start.

Georgetown meets Loyola of Baltimore this Saturday in an away game. The Hoyas will also be on the road next Wednesday when they face Howard. If the Towson game is any indication, Hilltop soccer fans might be in for a banner season in 1968-

EMILIO SICBE

An NCAA cross-country championship for Georgetown is not out of reach. -This year is the Hoyas' best chance ever. Benedek has depth to spare on the team, and he also has Steve Stageberg, who finished second in the IC4A's last year.

Stageberg out-dueled Villanova's Tom Donnelly, an NCAA All-American, for first place in a classic race last Saturday. The Georgetown ace's blistering kick at the end of the five mile run proved Donnelly's downfall. Stageberg's electrifying finish so excited the crowd that some fans starttd scampeing alongside him as he held off Donnelly in the final stretch.

The cross-country course was not without its eccentricities either. A dump-truck hauling dirt from near the Observatory came close once to intersecting a line of unsuspecting runners. Only a wildly waving Steve Benedek prevented the truck from waylaying his harriers.

Watching the race was almost as much a cross-country event for the spectators as for the participants. After catching the start of the race on the lower field, the crowd stormed en masse to the upper field and the entrance to the woods in back of the football field as they followed the progress of the runners. Then the whole procedure was repeated as the harriers retraced their steps on the second lap of the course. Everything and everyone finally ended up at the finish line near the base of Harbin with Georgetown fans in a state of ecstasy.

Benedek believes that cheering gives a big lift to a tired runner. Cheering was certainly in evidence last Saturday. The attendance at the meet was one of the largest in recent years, and no one suffered from lack of enthusiasm. It may begin a year of "participatory" athletics at Georgetown.

SUFFRAGETTES (Continued from Page 16)

night of the SAC session was never satisfactorily explained, but the publicity advertiSing the meeting was defended. Dave Rupert, appointed Homecoming committee chairman by the SAC, reminded members of signs and announcements proclaiming the meeting_

All this failed to satisfy the girls, who next demanded that the SAC reverse itself. After trading rejoinders of "SAC is God" and "Well, I like to sign petitions myself," the members began the vote to annul current plans by throwing the decision back to SAC.

"It's just a matter of legal technicality," offered chairman Rupert

in an effort to reconsider the process. But either plans were too far along or the hearts of Hoyas are still with Trinity and Marymount, for the committee ruled to keep present plans while tossing in a tentative guarantee of change next year. But even Wallace supporters and his hated "pseudo" intellectuals will agree that nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.

If these two groups can be found on the same side of an issue, there appears no surface reason why the girls and the SAC cannot work out their disagreement. Though there might be more than a dime's worth of difference between the two, gut issues at Georgetown have a way of evaporating once the boiling point is reached.

In 168 Opener by John Oordes

Several hundred surprisingly enthusiastic fans crowded around the lower field last Saturday, and saw the Georgetown soccer team open its season with a convincing 7-2 triumph over Towson State.

For a while though, it looked like the much-heralded Hoya booters might be in for a long afternoon. The burly and rugged Towson team dominated the early action, continually pressing their attack. Only brilliant saves by Georgetown goal-tender Luis Martinez prevented an immediate disaster, as the Hoya defense looked especially slow and uncertain. The powerful GU offensive managed but one real scoring opportunity in the entire period, when Alfredo Montero's clear shot fcom 15 yards sailed over the net.

But it wasn't long before the fans' groans turned into cheers. Emilio Sicre took a beautiful feed from Montero about ten yards in front of the net and slammed it past the helpless Towson goalie. Seconds before the close of the half, Georgetown increased its lead on a remarkable goal by Alfredo Montero. Montero took a pass at midfield, streaked down the right sideline, and lofted a high 35 yard shot into the upper left corner of the goal.

Nolan's Men Sunk Twice; Rebound To Defeat G.W.

by Tom Elliott Last week the baseball Hoyas

won two and lost two to bring their fall exhibition record to a respectable 7-5. The week began on an ill note for Coach Nolan's crew

for a few runs, and Charley Krapt also allowed a couple of tallies before settling down and getting himself out of the inning. The Hoyas could not whittle the American lead and lost 8-3. The loss was especially frustrating as the Hoyas had soundly thrashed American in two previous contests.

The string of two losses had the Hoyas on their toes for Saturday's doubleheader with George Washington. Hilltop hurler John Lawlor mixed his pitches well and held GW to five hits, allowing three runs, and getting the win, 6-3.

Brian Ward, Dick (Ziggie) Zeitler, Bob Francis, John Shea, and John McDonald provided offensive punch.

The Hoyas also took the second half of the twin bill, tripping the Colonials, 3-1. Ziggie Zeitler again set the pace for the team as he has consistently throughout the fall. Zeitler went two for three and tormented the opposition with two stolen bases. Bill McNulty, hat sitting low over his eyes a la Denny McLain, surrendered only five hits and allowed just one GW runner to touch the plate to gain the triumph.

by H,oger Geiss "It was a very strong showing.

I'm v€:ry proud." With these words, Georgetown cross-country coach Steve Benedek expressed his feelings following his squad's rousing 25-32 victory over the defending national champion Villanova Wildcats in GU's opening meet on the Hoya's home course Saturday.

In a fine display of both individual talent and team depth, the Hoyas thus avenged two straight years of defeat at the hands of the Villanovans. It was the Wildcats' first dual defeat since 1965 when Georgetown triumphed behind Eamon O'Reilly.

Georgetown ace Steve Stageberg led the way, finishing first in the fast time of 27:16 after a hard-fought tactical battle with Villanova's Tom Donnelly. Donnelly, one of the nation's top harriers for the past three seasons, had broken the Penn State course record in leading Villanova to a resounding victory over the Nittany Lions just one week before.

The critical third position was picked up by GU's Greg Ryan, a non-scholarship athlete who looked extremely strong in his first race for the Hoyas after a year's absence. The fourth and fifth positions were picked up by Dick Buerkle and Des McCormick, two of Villanova's veterans.

The Hoyas' depth was clearly demonstrated as Fred Protopappas, Jay Nichols, and Fred Lane, all of Georgetown, picked up the next three places to put the meet on ice. Lane, it should be noted, turned in a fine performance con-

(Continued on Page 14)

when they dropped a squeaker to George Washington University, 3-2. Recovering from a severe knee laceration, Georgetown's Brian Ward returned to the lineup and went two for three, scoring one of the two runs against GW. Hoya first baseman Ron Beal also did well in the hit department, but GW super-soph Hank Bunnell's two run homer in the fourth inning told the story in the game. Bill McNulty, who scattered four hits over five innings, was saddled with the loss.

On Friday the Hoyas travelled to Massachusetts and Nebraska Avenues to play American University on their field. Disaster struck in the fourth inning as American's usually dormant bats unloaded for seven runs sealing away the ball game. Chris Speed, suffering from a sore pitching arm, was tagged

Mentioning rights for women is by necessity a tongue-in-cheek exercise, since the discussion seems to evoke images ranging from Carry Nation wielding her trusty ax at the 89 to Georgetown nurses pondering the verities of situation ethics.

But when power is involved the topic assumes an air of sobriety. And when the issue is as fundamental and irreconcilable as who chooses Georgetown's Homecoming Queen, people begin wondering how the natural order of things became undone.
