We a>.k«d tlie first student we met, "What do you think City t.'ollege will be like 100 years from now?" "Go way." said the student, "don't bother me." .The next four people we approached answered in a siiuilar vein, more or le.-x.

Centennial Spirit —Perennfol Spirit

In 1847 the people of New York City establialied a Free Academy which developed into the greatest experi­ment in free higher education in existence. Today, on* hundred years later, the millione of New Yorkers who sup­port the college through taxes and supply its thirty thous­and students, have a second opportunity to breathe life into an ideal and build a Student Union building. In a single, and here unprecedented action, we can reaffirm our faith in democratic, free higher eduction, erect a memorial to our war dead, and round out the college life of our student body.

WeHSalanced Courses We have the highest level of scholarship, and our cur­

riculum offers a well-balanced education. However, our purpose is to graduate well-balanced persons. The Student Union building, by encouraging and promoting extra-cur­ricular activities, will go a long way to the realization of this goal.

There is no need of reiterating the things we have suc­cessfully stood for—scholarship and liberal thought with •tbility the only criteria of admission—and we must not fail to exert every effort to complete the picture. While attempt­ing to improve the conditions and facilities at the college, we feel that a review of the hundred-year balance sheet justifies the thought that O.P. can mean Observe with Pride.

The "we-feeling" is rather weak and can be bolstered by the Centennial Drive into a Centennial spirit which should in turn become the perennial spirit of our school.

VET AFfURS'

Frank and Middlebrook Stanley Frank's article "College Without Fun or

Frills" that the Saturday Evening Post promoted so effect­ively on campus misrepresents the school on a nationwide scale. Mr. Frank attended the collegejiuring a period of na­tional unrest and graduated in 1931. When he came to the college this year in search of material for a commercial article, he searched for his previously determined stereo­type—and searching hard, he found it. Most of his state­ments are true, but the one-sidedness and hostile tone of the article do great harm to the college.

A Different Attitude An example of how the same facts could be presented

in a favorable light appeared in the May issue of the American Mercury. Mr. Samuel Middlebrook of the Eng­lish Department wrote an easy-to-read, witty article that

- left any reader with an impression of the school that will put money in the Centennial Fund.

Describing the City College student as an intellectual monster is an injustice that should not be repeated by future commercialists who find-in the school an opportun­ity to misrepresent and reap royalties.

Where Was Bill O'Dwyer When the Capsule Rose

By NORM FRIEDMAN

As part of the Centennial Day ceremonies. May 7. a time capsule will be sunk 6 feet in the center of the college campus. Let us project ourselves into the minds and times of 2(147, bicentennial year.

The vines covering the walls are old and bent, ami the professors hoary with age. The brown paper lunch bags have been replaced by-shiny aluminum tubes with food pills. The Rogers Bill has been reported out of committee, and Army Hall has been dubbed -The Poor House." AVD is still here and OPs circulation is about the same.

\esterday. May 7, 2047. the elaborate ceremonies commemorat-ing hicente'nnial day, were inaugurated by the fife and drum enrp* and the ROTC atomic fusileers.

The highlight of the day was the raising of a time capsule w*>ici was buried one hundred years ago as part of the school's centennial ceremonies. The Physics Department, used i f new RGP Ray , Reverse Cravitational Pull Ray) and drew out the capsule amid the appiause and shouts of the stuttents.

About this capsule hovers an oM mystery conreming the strange <iisappearance of former Mayor Bill O'Dwyer. who vanished during the sinking of the capsule. This was attributed by various sources to the vengeance of the -OM Tammany Guard" or of "Real Estate Inc.** The mystery was cleared up when the President of the College noticed strange marks on the capsule as it wa« presented to him for opening. He immediately called the Chairman of the Ancient Languages De-partment. Professor Hire dyfiks. who translated what turned out to be -OM BrooUynese. He translated, "Going U Cfcraay-Bill ODwyw**

Thi* applies to tha? veterans wUo will re-enter for the summer .seijj and also to those who do uot desire to attend tht sumu*r session. Only those men are eligibly for a*, nual leave who meet the following re<,uiremenu-that they are receiving subsistence for training ^ the College; that they are not concurrently ukia* on-the-job training and that they will not have c««. pleted their training this semester.

LKAVK is accrued on the basis of 2' , days pa month of full t ine attendance. It ia granted «a % calendar basis, one day being charged for every fa that is used. No advanced leave will be granted, fe must be understood that a reduction in entitles^ will result from the securing of accrued leave, tvm day for which the veteran i» paid subsistence t» *. ducted from his total period of entitlement. In ajf. tion, those veterans who intend to apply for rettf. justaent allow nnces should uot apply for accod leave since they may not be received conrumaih.

I N USED accrued'leave may not be granted «fUt a veteran has completed a course aud therefore, is not enrolled in ami pursuing training, even thoogh he has reinaiiui\g entftletnent However, the VA directive is construed to provide that unused ac­crued leave to a veteran's credit, lipon completion «f an elected course, nuiy be credited to his leave * count upon subsequent enrollment in another opoot under P.

THE SUMMER session enters the date tf June 30, 1947. If you will not attend summer session, indicate September or October or what­ever date you know you will definitely re-enter training; Line 6, if you request leave indicate "Yes" and specify the number of days. TV interval between the end of the spring session and the beginning of the summer session b 16 days. However, please remember that M advanced leaves will be granted, and you must have accrued sufficient leave to cover the num­ber of days you request.

THOSE men who have requested leave aai mi net attend the summer session shouM expect to w ceive subsistence for that leave with their regda June check. Those men who will attend summer s» sion wUI probably get their leave time sabsistati with- their regular July check. This policy wM k followed because H will provide the least amocm delay and interruption.

THOSE of you who expect to attend the sumue session are asked to watch the bulletin l>oard in fret: of the veterans' counselling office for details on bw accrued leave may be applied for at the end of tie summer session.

Student Body. Faculty Protest Frank Article

In an informal poll taken by O.P. to determine student and fac­ulty reacton to the recent S a t Eve. Post article, all those interviewed agreed, almost without exception, that the article has done the col­lege a grave injustice in emphasiz­ing only the negative aspects of student life.

Seme of tiie more outspoken comment included that of Prof. J. Salwyn Schapiro, of the History Department, who stated: "I think the article is outrageous. It has given the whole school a blade eye."

'Selected* Quotes Arthur Kate, President of the

Student Council, who was quoted in the Frank article, held that the college had been depicted as it was

in the author's undergraduate days. "I was not misquoted," Katz said, "but Stanley Frank se­lected from the statements I made only those he wanted to hear."

Many took issue with Frank's assertion that students utterly lacked "social life." The comment of Fred Bronner: "I'm not an in­tellectual monster. I have date*; I go to parties; I get fun out of life," typifies the objection of most students.

Hillel Foundation at City, and Uabbi Arthur H Zuckenuan, di­rector, the case was placed before Robert L. Taylor, registrar of the college who authorized his admis­sion upon arrival in the United States.

All that remains are the few formalities necessary for a stu-uent visa, and in a few short weeks the lifetime hope of D.P. Abraham Adolph to attend school in a "free country" will become a reality.

iVeti? Curriculum Set for EJE. Vets Adds Extra Term

Students with less than 65 cred­its in the college's Electrical En­gineering department will have to continue their studies under the new curriculum proposed by the Committee on Courses and Stand­ing.

The introduction of the new cur-riculam revision has brought a series of protests from veterans who were called to the service be­fore they had completed 64 credits in the department.

Ruling Adds Term

Because of the new ruling, these students will be forced to remain an added term before completing their reijoired courses.

A survey is currently being un­dertaken to deterniine the number of students in this category by the VA and AVC in room ItiA. All
