Sima Freedman , Pres ident of YPA, said yes terday, " the mem­bership lists p resen t a big danger on campus. They he lped to stifle s tudent activit ies and intensify the fear of the s tudent that he may be depr ived of employment

The leading lights in the operation of the Finley Student Center will soon have more money than they can use. Approximately $126,500 was appropriated including an expected $60,000 from the alumni to keep the Center operating for a full school year. Now it is apparent that a little over half the school year comes closer to the mark. Certainly the full appropriation will not be needed for this year. What will be done with the rest? To place it in a reserve fund, as the Center Board of Directors has voted, or charge a lower fee for the second half of the school year is not a fair solution.

An emergency fund seems io me xpiher ridiculous in light of the padded budget l h a t was prepared in the first place. A padded budget (the Board's could leave a $40,000 surplus) is not necessarily Ihe evil that it could be. To leave enough money to cover the errors that -will be made by inexperience with such a Center is logical, but to suggest fb.at it could take nearly twice as much money as this padded budget alloled is foolish. If the Board intends to leave the extra money ifor the future, I'd like to know what's being done presently for those who've given it and could make good use of it

A lower fee for the second half of the year may seem attractive to some, but it is actually the less desirable of these two poor alternatives. Aside from the difficulty of going through channels to change the fee, there are other problems. First, the seniors who will graduate in January should and will feel indignant. They will have paid a $3 fee for probably one month's use of the Student Center, while those who remain will pay, say $2, for argument's sake, and have a full term's use.

- Another obvious difficulty is what to do when Jfiie fee will haveBQi. to be raised again. Even if operating expenses are cut, we cannot expect the alumni to continue subsidizing the Center to the extent that they are doing for the first year of operation. Thus a return to the $3 fee is unavoidable. The hue .and cry that will be raised by students will be difficult to quell and antagonisms between ihe student body and the Administration would be a natural result.

One answer would be combining of the Student Activities and the Center fees into one. Not only would this solve the present difficulty, but it also would be of great value in the future. At present, of course, this move would involve the lopping off pro­portionally from the Center budget the amount that would have been used to operate the building's facilities from the start of the term until the opening date. Certain expenses are being incurred with the Center in partial operation and this is a factor that would have to be considered. The. money that will not be spent operating Student Center could be easily diverted into the fund for student activities, which are badly in need of fiscal adrenalin.

For the future, -any money saved by efficient operation of the Center could be easily switched to pay for student activities for the next term.

* * * One of the comforting aspects of the Student Center confusion

is the ascendency of Dean James S. Peace (Student Life) to the directorship of the Center. While this is not a promotion for Dean Peace, it is an addition to his responsibilities. As 'he has personally conceded, the additional work will not be much; it is actually a matter of assuming broader supervisory responsibility. For this reason, he has not requested the supplementary salary that formerl director Alton Lewis wanted and would have gotten. It is not only by saving money that the College gains. Whether justifiably or not, Dr. Lewis was not popular with many of the students he had to work with. Dean* Peace, however, enjoys wide popularity among student leaders.- He has, over the years, gained their confidence and they prefer to work with him.

Booters vs. Pratt In Met Debut Sat.

They're off! J ! The Beaver steamroller, after gaining momentum in

last Saturday's 10-0 rout of State Tech, will be at full speed when it collides with Prat t"^ Ins t i tu te in the league soccer opener this Saturday, at 11:30 AM in Lewisohn Stadium. The Lavender will be star t ing defense of their Metropoli tan Intercol­legiate Soccer Conference cham­pionship.

In last season's opener, the City soccermen defeated the Engi­neers , 5-1, at Cunningham P a r k in Long Island. Pra t t managed to tie up the game, 1-1, before the end of the first period, but it was no contest after that as the Beavers scored twice in the second and fourth stanzas, whi le goalie Wally Meisen was holding the Engineers scoreless for the rest of the game. Pra t t bounced b a c k from this defeat and an­o the r agains t Brooklyn College to win its last five games and finish the season in a surpr is ing second place tie with the Kings-men.

Lavender goalie Wally Meisen, who finished last season wi th four consecutive league shutouts , will s tar t in the nets against the Techmen. Despite the fact that several t ryou t s 'have looked good in the goal, Meisen gets the nod because, as Coach Har ry Kar l in sums up, "Wally is just great . I have no one who comes close to him."

Because of the keen competi­

tion among the players for star t ing berths, the l ineup is still something of a mystery. The fab­ulous Johnny Koutsan tanou will be the start ing center. ;>::..! Wolf-

Jordan Learns Soccer In Iran; Tennis in USA

From the oil refineries of Abadan, Iran, to the Lewisohn Stadium dust bowl is qui te a journey. Vahe Jordan , an outstanding m e m b e r of this season's soccer team, and a member of the City-College tennis team, has made'*' —— that tr ip and the coaches of both squads a re very thankful that he did.

Born in Issaham, Iran, twen ty years ago Vahe learned soccer at an ear ly age. Before he was even th i r t een years old, he was good enough to play on his high school team.

An engineer ing student, Vahe is present ly s tar t ing nis senior yea r in college and hopes to lead bo th the Beaver booters and the racque tmen to successful seasons. Ha r ry Kar l in -has had a chance to observe Vahe on the fields of both soccer and tennis and has

came to the United States in 1948 and settled down in Forest Hills, Vahe was taught the game by his mother . Mrs. Jordon had been a tennis enthusiast for many years. She played tennis with the British employees of the oil re­fineries at Abadan where Vahe's father was employed, and l^ter at the British Embassy in Tehe­ran w'here Mr. Jordon was en­gaged as an assistant to the Bri­tish Consul.

Vahe's major interest at the present time, besides helping City College to retain the Metropoli­tan Intercollegiate Soccer Cham-

nothing but praise for the former \ pionship for the third consecutive All Metropoli tan Soccer choice. "He is one of the hardest work-

year, is aviation. He ult imately plans to work for an overseas

Last year ' s Soccer team was great ly s t rengthened by t h e transfer of Vahe from H u n t e r College where he captained both the Tennis and Soccer teams.

His first interest in tennis came seven years ago. After his familv

The College's wres t l ing team opened practice yes terday in 3oethals Hall Gym.

Coach Joe Sapora anticipatQs an improvement on last season's record of two wins and l ive de­feats. He says UI think we ' l l do very well ; I certainly hope so We have a bunch of vets re tu rn­ing ."

The m a t m e n have lost th ree regulars from last year 's t eam by graduat ion : Norm Balot, 157-pounder, who was undefeated in six matches; Spencer Nussbaum, and Seymour Holtzman. Balot ' s loss will probably hit the g rap -plers hardest , and Coach Sapora is undecided as to who will t ake his place. "It should be e i ther Fred Siar i ta or co-captain Ira Zingmond," the coach declared. Steve Karides . who injured his a rm last season, will join Zig-mond and Stari ta in the ba t t l e for the 157 lb. post "if his a r m is all right.'*

Al Taylor will probably take over the 130 lb. spot vacated by Holtzman. Others on whom Sap­ora is counting a re co-captain Sal Sorbera in the 123 lb. class; 130-pounder Vince Norman ; Bernie Stool at 167 lbs.; and Harvey Werblood who takes over the 177 lb. class from Dick Barry . Heavy­weight J i m Zoubandis and "Son­ny' ' Gola, a sophomore, wil l vie for 147 lb. honors wi th r e t u r n ­ing ve te ran Bob Engler .
