F.C.C. Silences Pirate Station In New South

Racial Issue Simmers In Cafeteria Operation

For those who care about such things, the "in" thing at George­town this month appears to be competition. Coincidental wit h publication of The Yardfinger and The Hoya Rag and preceding the impending birth of The Voice three enterprising East Campus freshmen tried this week to give radio station WGTB a run for its money.

Kalten­borns, Rich Robin and Rich Weav­er of the School of Languages and Linguistics, and Jerry Wichlac of the Foreign Service School treated Washington radio listeners last Wednesday evening to WPAD (People's Autonomous Dormitory Radio), emanating from a one­watt transmitter secreted in Room 253 New South.

Their abortive attempt to "win the fight for men's minds" was thwarted by the FCC which picked up their transmission at their office, 1919 M Street. Im­mediately sensing the gravity of the threat, two federal agents were dispatched to the criminal broadcasters.

ON OTHER CAMPUSES

When it voted to eliminate academic credit for ROTC, Yale's faculty explained, "ROTC is like singing in the Whif­fenpoofs-a perfectly fine activity but one which we don't think merits any academic standing."

• Meanwhile, at Cincinnati's Xavier University, a subcom-

mittee of the academic council presented some arguments in favor of ROTC's having academic status. According to the Xavier News the subcommittee noted that, although some areas of military science may be un-academic, the same charge may be hurled at other studies accepted within the university framework, such as the "vocational courses" in a business school. Secondly, the "liberalizing role" surfaces in studies dealing with military history, control of violence, and the like. The report also noted that Xavier has been "the largest producer of Artillery Lieutenants in the entire coun­try for several years ... thus making a significant contribu­tion to the Government and to the community through the medium of ROTC."

• Mississippi's campus speaker policy at state colleges has been annulled by a Federal court of appeals, reports Ole Miss' Daily Mississippian. The policy barred persons in disrepute in their home areas, those charged with moral crimes-and politicians. The state college board, however, is hard at work on a new speaker ban.

• Earlier this month, a speaker at Iowa's Grinnell College

was confronted with a demonstration--de rigeur on most campuses now and dog-bites-man fare for most newspapers. But the man-bites-dog character of the Grinnell demonstra­tions was that the speaker was a representative of Playboy magazine and the demonstrators were entirely without rigeur. When Playboy's Brice Draper began to expound on the maga­zine's philosophy, members of Grinnell's Women Liberation Movement and the Guerilla Theatre summarily disrobed to protest the values espoused in that philosophy, especially the exploitation of the female. In a letter to the students in­volved, related the Scarlet & Black~ the dean of students stated, " ... your actions will finally have less impact on the problems you describe than it will in confirming many in their belief that appearances do count ... " The Iowa attorney general's office is investigating the affair.

• The San Francisco Chronicle reports that one Charles

Wakefield of St. Mary's University in San Antonio set what was believed to be the world's record for goldfish swallowing. He downed 210 of the things.

• Private universities, it seems, are not the only schools undergoing the budgetary blahs. According to the University of Maryland Diamondback~ Governor Marvin Mandel stated that any commitment to increase the university's budget would be "as useful as a three dollar bill" because there simply isn't any money in the state treasury. In the fiscal operating budget for 1969, drawn up by Governor Agnew, the University of Maryland was granted $89.8 million instead of the $94.1 million it had requested. President Wilson H. Elkins has noted that the reduced budget will result in seri­ous troubles for the school if there is any substantial in­crease in enrollment.

• Students at Holy Cross College are holding a constitutional

convention, too. The Crusader relates that majority and minority reports have emerged from the convention. Under the former's proposal, the basic unit of student government will be an inter-house congress composed of the various house council heads. Instead of a student body presidentf a chair­man of the inter-house congress would be chosen for a month's term. The minority report also recommends that the office of student body president be abolished. Under this plan, there would be a four-man secretariat presiding over community meetings in which any interested student could exercise a vote.

• The student newspaper at Kenyon College (Gambier, Ohio)

was awarded extra funds by the student council, although council members had earlier objected. They claimed to be dissatisfied with the Collegian-but gave in on the condition that the staff publish a humor issue. People are the same everywhere, it seems.

G. U. Symposium To Discuss Reactions To Kerner Report

On March 4 and 5, George­town will sponsor a two-day sym· posium entitled "What Ever Hap­pened To The Kerner Report?" The purpose of the discussions will be to determine the reactions of American society to the report of the National Advisory Commis­sion on Civil Disorders, first issued in March, 1968.

Popularity known as the "Kern­er Report" for its chairman, form­er Governor Otto Kerner of Illi­nois, the report was requested, and a team of investigators com­missioned, by President Johnson on July 27, 1967, to seek reasons and possible solutions for the in­creasing numbers of civil disorders occurring in the nation's cities during the last five years.

After eight months of study, the commission charged the coun­try as a whole by saying that "white society is deeply impli­cated in the ghetto. White insti­tutions created it, white institu­tions maintain it, and white so­ciety condones it." Solutions pro­posed were vast increases in im­proving urban living conditions, more housing, education, employ­ment training and job opportu-

nities, improved police-community relations, updated court condi­tions, and a revolution in at­titudes. "National action on an un­precedented scale" was called for.

Last year, Michael Perry (CoIl. '68), a senior philosophy major, while working in the Graduate School dean's office, conceived of the symposium as a means of re­minding the Georgetown and Washington communities of the

DR.PORRECO

report. He submitted the pro­posal with Dr. Rocco Porreco's ap­proval to the Sperry Hutchins Foundation (established by the S&H Green Stamp Corporation), and the program was funded for March. A committee headed by Mr. Stephen Cheston of the Grad­uate School has handled prepara­tions. Representatives of the Grad­uate School, the Black Student Alliance, and GUCAP served on the committee.

Invited to be the final speaker in the symposium, Wednesday, March 5, at 8 p.m. in Gaston Hall, is Mr. Donald Canty, director of the Urban Information Center of Urban America, Inc. Mr. Canty will review the most current find­ings with regard to the effect of the Kerner Report on the Ameri­can people.

Report Seeks Changes For Fribourg Progralll

The symposium will beg i n Tuesday evening, March 4, at 8 p.m., in Gaston Hall, with a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Karl Cerny of the government depart­ment. Participating will be: Mr. Frank Mankiewicz, press secre­tary to the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who will address ini­tial remarks to the "Response of Local Governments to the Re­port"; Mr. Joseph Alsop, syndi­cated columnist, whose major con­cern is the possibility of apartheid in the United States, will speak about "Schools and the Kerner Report"; Dr. John Spiegal, direc­tor of the Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence, at Brandeis University, who served as a con­sultant to the original commis­sion, will consider "The Psycho­logical Blocks to the Implementa­tion of the Report"; and the Rev. Calvin Morris of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, associate director of Operation Breadbasket in Chicago, will speak on "The Civil Rights Move­ment and the Kerner Report". The Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy, leader of the Poor Peoples' Cam­paign last spring, will come to Gaston Hall at 1 p.m. on Wednes­day, March 5. Dr. Abernathy's topic will be the "Promises and Realities" in American society since last June.

by Jim Carroll Perhaps the most mysterious

program here at Georgetown is that strange affair known as "Georgetown-at-Fribourg." Few, if any, students know anything about it beyond its mere existence, and probably fewer care. This situa­tion, however, will hopefully soon be remedied through the efforts of a group of concerned seniors who are working to first salvage, and then to improve, this somewhat questionable part of Georgetown's "junior year abroad" program.

The concerned seniors are those who attended the University of Fribourg last year and who have since prepared two reports on their experiences and have made these reports available to every­one concerned with the program. One report is a critique of the whole Fribourg program. The pur­pose of this report is to show where the program is deficient, but more importantly, this re­port also includes many solid sug­gestions as to exactly how George­town-at-Fribourg can be improved.

In an opening section, editors Robert Yablonski and Thomas Weyandt listed the reactions of those students returning from Europe as ranging from "excel­lent" to "okay," but it was al­most unanimous that the pro­gram left many areas where if improvement was not necessary, it was at least desirable.

The second report was pub­lished primarily for students who plan to go to Fribourg. It includes suggestions on almost every as­pect of life in Europe, and should be of great value to anyone even considering the Georgetown-at­Fribourg program.

Basically, the facts of Fribourg are these: Fribourg is a small uni­versity in Switzerland. Through cooperation with Georgetown, it accepts 20 students each year for a one year program of stUdies. Each of the students must be in their Junior year and have main­tained a 2.9 QPI in order to be considered for the program. Ex­penses for the year in Europe are roughly equivalent to a year at Georgetown and the languages of instruction are French and Ger­man.

Unfortunately, until now this was about all even those who were participating in the program knew before they arrived in Fri­bourg. From then on it was pretty

much a system of "play it by ear and hope for the best." This is one of the primary reasons why the two reports were published, but hardly the answer. It has been strongly recommended by last year's Fribourg students that Georgetown begin an active policy whereby all the undergraduates are made fully aware of the possibilities for study in Europe.

It was also suggested that the students be selected, or at least informed, earlier so that they can arrange their schedules so that no summer school would be neces­sary in order to graduate with their class. Another criticism is that a required pre lim ina r y language course for a month be­fore classes start in October actu­ally costs an additional $175, which causes numerous financial problems.

In addition, there exists an an­nual mystery as to what courses are acceptable to Georgetown. The reports stress that this only arises as a result of a lack of prepara­tion on the part of those orga­nizing the program. A final criticism reveals that the food for the Georgetown students 9x the Foyer Saint-Justin is poor. These are just a few of the prob­lems that the critique of George­town-at-Fribourg mentioned along with suggestions for improvement. The report pointed out, however, that opportunity for improvement still exists and that Georgetown could some day have one of the best European studies programs available in America.

Student Disruptions Mar Prom Weel{.end

Diego Miramare Maitre D'

Diego Miramare has spent most of life in the Diplo­matic Service. While in Italy he worked for Ambassador Kirk, then representing the United States. In this coun­try he worked for Ambassa­dor William C. Bullitt. He spent the past 20 years with the Italian Embassy here in Washington. He has always worked a second job and for the past three years it has been with "1789." He has a lovely wife and two daugh­ters, Cristina and Patrizia.

The 1969 Junior Prom, held at the Washington Hilton, was the "only weekend aesthetically and financially successful in the last two years," according to Nick Cariello, prom co-chairman.

Feb. 21, the first night of the prom, featured Count Basie. Jim Illig and Bart Molloy, the two other prom co-chairmen, were high in their praise for the Count. Said Illig, "Basie was a good night. He was very cooperative with me. He has a great sound. Everybody loved Basie." Molloy was content to note that "a lot of people enjoyed Basie."

The co-chairmen agreed that the first night, the formal evening, was financially more successful than the second. Illig stated, "I'm sure we broke even with Basie. There were 574 couples there." By comparison, Illig noted that there were probably about 600 couples at the Saturday evening, semi­formal performance by the Vanilla Fudge.

Midway through the Basie eve­ning, Miss Joan McMonagle (SFS '70), Miss Georgetown, was pre-

sented to the audience. For two weeks before the weekend, voting took place to select the finalist.

Friday evening also witnessed some rowdy displays by George­town students holding private parties at the Hilton and by those who vandalized the International Ballroom. Illig remarked that five small fires were started in the Hotel that evening and that he was "under the impression that someone was trying to stop the prom."

Before dancing began Saturday, a junior class reception was held in the Lincoln Ballroom. At 8:30, a D.C. group, "The Puzzle," which Illig characterized as "good," per­formed. The "Vanilla Fudge" came on at eleven and played for about fifty minutes. Commenting on the Fudge, Cariello said, "I think most of the people were very pleased with the job they did." A small number of stUdents were extremely rude to the group, and it is reported that someone threw a drink on one of the group's members. Illig remarked that for the group, "It was a very bad scene."

There was some talk of bring­ing suit against the Fudge for breach of contract and stopping check payment because they spent about ten minutes warming up, left the stage soon after the drink was supposed to have been thrown, and consequently did not play for the agreed-upon full hour. Molloy said he was "disappointed with the brevity of the Fudge enter­tainment." The claims of contract jumping and threats of check stoppage were dropped when it was learned that the Fudge were legally entitled to walk out if the audience was excessively rude.

Yard operations are still con­tinuing, according to President Dan Hurson, but attendance at the meetings is gradually diminish­ing, making legislative tasks more difficult and more time-consuming. Commenting on the effects of the convention, Hurson said, "I think a lot of students, even some coun­cil members, have given up on stu­dent government. I don't think this should be the case."

Hurson supports the convention. He states that though the Yard has no vested interests in the con­vention outcome, he does. "I be­lieve," said Hurson, "that student government should regain some strength." He also believes that academic committees should, "in some way," report to the unified student senate.

John Kelly, Walsh Area Student Council president, states that the East Campus council is still oper­ating, but that its main function now is to "tidy up our own tack yard. We've got to try to solve some debts and clean up our fi­nancial business."

New Yard COlllnrittee To Work With Collins

The WASC met Feb. 25 and is asking that no elections of any sort be held in the Walsh area until elections for the unified stu­dent government are completed.

Honey Lynch, nursing council president, said that her council was definitely still operating. They are planning social events, one to be held Mar. 14. The council is also reviewing nursing school cur­riculum changes.

by Jim Duryea In a move designed to solidify

ties with the physical plant office, Yard President Dan Hurson has instituted a standing committee to work in conjunction with the Rev. T. Byron Collins, S.J., vice president for planning and phYSical plant.

The resolution, submitted by Tom Napolitano (ColI. '69), re­quested that the office for planning and physical plant issue a public statement concerning the state of the main campus. In the statement to Fr. Collins, the College council called for a "timetable" for the completion of campus construction and restoration of campus grounds. The Council also asked for an "ex­planation" of the Rev. Gerard J. Campbell's recent report stating that the University may revoke its housing and food service in­terests. Further, a thorough re-

FR. COLLINS

view of the budget of the physical plant was sought. Hurson met with Fr. Collins early last week, and both agreed that immediate steps were needed to improve the physical state of the main campus.

Fr. Collins accepted the Yard's request to establish a small per­manent committee whose express purposes would be to inform him of the students' wants and needs and to review the budget of the office for planning and physical plant.

Fr. Collins' response to the Yard resolution was energetic. In a letter to Hurson, Fr. Collins stated that he was "delighted to have students" who would "work out with me the ideas and procedures to improve the service we strive to give to the students."

The committee, ten tat i vel y termed the physical plant ad hoc committee, still remains in the formative stages. It will be made up of four students from the Col­lege freshman, sophomore, and junior classes.

The Yard president will direct the new committee to two im­mediate tasks. Persuant to the Yard resolution, they will outline the most critical renovation, re­pair, and improvement needs on campus and submit these sugges­tions to Fr. Collins. Moreover, they will comb over the office for planning and physical plant's budg­et with Fr. Collins, make recom­mendations to the vice president, and report their findings to the Yard.

The College council called for prompt action in supplementing their requests. In the resolution they warned that "until improve­ments are effected, the College Student Council will vigorously oppose any tuition increase by the Administration."

Commenting on the convention, Miss Lynch said, "I would like to see it function as smoothly as possible. People want to see a uni­fied voice. Communications are of the essence."

Convention President B ria n Phelan remarked that student councils are "still in existence. We are "still in existence. We aren't any sort of functioning govern­ment. We're completely divorced from them. They can do what they want." Phelan vews student apathy as a problem for the coun­cils but feels a unified senate would alleviate much of this prob­lem. "I think," stated Phelan, "students will be more interested in student government as a result of a unified student government.'·

"I commit myself to devote all the energy and time necessary to see this program re­alized." Thus wrote Yard President Dan Hur­son in his campaign platform last March. Regarding the University, he noted, "Our purpose is not merely to survive but to ex­cel." And now, almost a year later, we find that at best Hurson had the ability to see his program realized but failed to devote aU the energy and time necessary. At worst he simply failed. At any rate, he has ex­celled only in surviving this long.

His platform was fairly good. He was quite right, for example, when he wrote, "The purpose of the Yard is to provide active and effective representation of student interests to the faculty and administration. This func­tion depends on the effectiveness and dedi­cation of the officers elected and on continu­ing personal contact between the Yard and the student body." To effect this, he pro­posed to present a weekly report on WGTB. He has not. He also proposed to hold a monthly press conference. He has not. He promised to visit the residence halls, togeth­er with the other Yard officers. Instead, he moved out of the dorms and took an off­campus apartment in violation of a consti­tutional provision meant to insure availa­bility.

Most other promises remained unfulfilled, too. There is no monthly academic forum, "a round table discussion of academic prob­lems by students, faculty, and administrative officials." There has been no exploration, much less inquiry, into off-campus work­study programs for credit. There is no semes­ter-long student exchange program, and the "successful Fresman tutoring program" has not been reinstituted. In the fiscal realm, the Yard has yet to investigate the development drive which, in Hurson's words, "seems to be stalled."

Hurson also promised to create the "Yard House Council Committee' and give its chairman a seat on the College council. No such committee exists. He promised to bring a nationally prominent speaker to George­town each month. These speakers don't seem to exist, either. He pledged a social events code "specifying minimum supplies of liquor, seating, number of bars, etc." This code is nowhere to be found-but rather uncomfort­able social events have come along quite fre-quently.

Hurson's platform, in short, was bursting with such proposals. We refrain from enum­erating any more. The record speaks for it­self.

The Alumni Gap When the Alumni Association's board of

governors convened on campus two weeks ago, the governors, for better or for worse, chanced upon the February 13 edition of The HOYA. The reactions, to says the least, were mixed. One thought that the February 13 edition was in fact the April Fool's issue. He simply could not believe the news ar­ticles about Dean Guenther's resignation, Dean Klein's departure, and a council mem­ber's abdication. And when he turned to the sports pages in search of more pleasant do­ings, he was confronted with "Pebbles Purged". Another alumnus, Mr. J. Nevins McBride, the Association's president re­marked in all seriousness that The HOYA would do better to print more stories on or­ganizations such as the Sodality.

Now we know perfectly well that others not alumni often refer to The HOYA as a joke, April Fool's issue or not. Still others, after we expressed our reasons why George­town must have a Jesuit president, thought that The HOYA had gone quite beyond merely printing articles about the Sodality. But the fact is that we report, as best our resources allow, what is happening at George­town these days. And if the alumni did not understand The HOYA two weeks ago, they do not understand or even know what is happening at Georgetown in 1969. Simply put, they have lost touch. Mr. McBride is quite mistaken if he believes that students (or even Jesuits) are terribly concerned

about the Sodality. That organization has been dead for quite some time.

But the alumni are not to blame for their lack of understanding-they must rely on what the University filters them about her­self. And if the remarks of two weeks ago are any indication, the alumni just aren't being filtered the right fare. Linking them with events at their University is George­town Today, the bimonthly magazine pub­lished by the development and public rela­tions office. For reasons too involved to enumerate here, Georgetown Today is not communicating the real Georgetown to her alumni. We suggest that a student publica­tion might be sent them-there are certain­ly enough on campus right now.

Corrigendum In last week's editorial on Dr. Lyd­

gate, we mentioned that a quote of his appeared in an article beginning on page one. The paragraph containing that quote, however, had been deleted from the galleys. Following the tenth paragraph of the story, it read:

"He stated that Mr. McCooey's 'sel­fish interests are blocking legitimate student demands'. He added, 'Besides, prices at the '89 are higher on Satur­days.' "

After completing the Yard's most successful used book store, Yard Treasurer Larry LaPare an­nounced books have been sold at 60 percent of their value and a $7000 profit had been realized. This is in contrast to last year's sales at 75 percent and a $5500 profit. It was questionable whether LaPare was happy because of this monetary success or his success over those unificationists who at­tempted to call it the "Univer­sity Used Book Store."

Letters to the Editor • • •

lengthy study of the beer license proposal has made some observa­tions based on his findings. You have denied these statements and yet refuted them with nothing but your filial devotion to McCooey. You accuse those who "maligned Mr. McCooey" as being guilty of "either deliberate slander or ig­norance." In reality, Don, it is you in your ignorance who have been guilty of slander in your editorials. You contend that Mr. McCooey is a martyr to Georgetown who has sacrificed his career, mortgaged everything he has, and will serve Georgetown with love and devo­tion to his dying day. Nonsense!

MAINTENANCE To the Editor:

Upon reading last week's issue of The HOYA, I was dismayed and confused to find unwarranted and unsubstantiated aspersions cast upon an administrator of physical plant who is receptive and sensi­tive to the needs of the residents on campus.

Your statement is correct that Mr. John Grove, recently appoint­ed director of resident hall main­tenance because of his outstanding performance in servicing 1.S.H. and Loyola, did in fact curtail the purchasing of maintenance supplies for the month of February. How­ever, your conclusion that this curtailment would result in a toilet paper shortage in New South, the Quadrangle, Loyola and Xavier in the near future and that "Copley's and Harbin's re­ceiving no supplies this month is resulting in a shortage of toilet paper" is totally erroneous.

Shortly after assuming his new position, John Grove made a de­tailed inspection of each resi­dent hall at which time he found large quantities of supplies largely forgotten or misplaced by the maintenance crew. These unused and neglected supplies were more than adequate to meet resident hall needs for the month of Feb­ruary. As one can readily surmise, Mr. Grove's aim was not to cut back his budget by shortchanging the needs and necessities of the residents. He was only trying to prevent undue waste that would have occurred had he used the University's hard pressed funds to

purchase supplies which he did not need.

Finally as to your statement regarding "Georgetown's increas­ingly dirty dormitories" I suggest 'you open your eyes and ears. In a meeting with Dean Hartmann the residents of 5th floor Copley commented on the improvements they've noticed in maid and main­tenance service since John Grove assumed his new dUties. This com­ment is warmly supported by the various House Council Officers, Housemasters and Resident As­sistants who also have noted this change for the better. The work to improve the physical condition of Georgetown's resident halls is far from over but it has been be­gun by a dedicated and sincere ad­ministrator. I think that an apology is in order on your part to Mr. John C. Grove.

Jeff DWlJer Housemaster of Loyola

EDITORIAL To the Editor:

Your recent editorial: "Beer ~ommitteeman Foams," is shock­mg to those of us sincerely inter­ested in seeking a reasonable solu­tion to this problem.

First, you do your own publica­tion extreme disservice with the inaccuracy of the editorial. The editorial claims that Dr. John Lydgate intemperately s tat e d "selfish interests are obstructing legitimate student de man d s." Your source for this was a front page article in the same issue of The HOYA. Yet in truth the only direct quotation from Dr. Lydgate is quite different in tone and sub­stance: "P e r son a 11 y, I feel McCooey is just crying wolf. There's a tremendous volume of sales that he can't handle any­way."

Second, you assert that Dr. Lyd­gate "is guilty of either deliberate slander or ignorance. . . ." Since the front page clearly points out that he had analyzed ((1789's com­plete eight-year financial report" and then concluded that Mr. McCooey would not suffer from the ~rant of a beer license, your lot IS evidently cast in favor of slander-and in more ways than

one. This must be your principal crticism of the Lydgate position. But note the following: (1)) your accusation is entirely unsub­stantiated for the reader; and (2) even if it were true, your refuta­tion follows the same slanderous pattern, e.g. "Dr. Lydgate foams at the mouth," and "Dr. Lydgate ... burbles."

Third, allow me to consider the conclusion: "Whatever the case, we suggest that Dr. Lydgate has proven himself unfit to sit on the ad hoc committee any longer, re­gardless of his foaming." Essen­tially you seem to feel that strong identification with a position and the making of statements which are open to question disqualify a person from reaching valid judg­ments about the issue. May I point out that your editorial dis­qualified The HOYA for the very same reasons. If Dr. Lydgate's posture should be silence, so should yours.

I refrain from commenting on the substance of the beer license dispute until a reply has been earned, and it will not be de­served until you print a correc­tion of the error and an apology for the personal insult heaped on Dr. Lydgate. Next time, speak to the issues and not the personal­ities. Mr. McCooey can do without your brand of defense.

HEAVY WORDS To the Editor:

I almost didn't write this letter, because I felt it would be like talking to a thick, grey stone wall. But conscience got the best of me and I decided that someone had to say something, and that I should give it just one more try.

Mr. Casper, I think it's about time you faced reality, even if only for a little while. In the last issue of the paper, you made an editorial attack upon Dr. John Lydgate, a professor at George­town and chairman of the Beer License Committee. This attack was unworthy of even the filthiest journalistic rag in existence; quot­ing from your editorial, "Like a bottle of beer, Dr. Lydgate foams at the mouth .... " That state­ment could only be made by a small-minded, unthinking simple­ton. You have so fallen in love with Mr. Richard J. McCooey that you feel called upon to vent your spleen in such an unprincipled man­ner upon anyone who challenges him-whether right or wrong.

Dr. Lydgate, after serious and

Elnore Smith Wait.ress

Elnore's first job, in coming north in July, 1968, from Monroeville, Alabama, was with "1789." She and her husband, Ruben, both worked with us for a time. Elnore has left her family of two brothers and two sisters down South and has one child of her own here. El­nore is twenty years old, and we look forward to her being with us for many years.

McCooey is a businessman, first and foremost. He is, in fact, con­sidering a lawsuit against the Uni­versity to preserve his beer mon­opoly. Not only do you fail to realize his true status, you malign people such as Dr. Lydgate and ". . . the student politicos" who try to point out the truth. You contend that Dr. Lydgate " ... has proven himself unfit to sit on the ad hoc committee any longer." Just what has proven him unfit? The fact that he didn't agree with your own canine and inane affec­tion and subservience to Mr. McCooey? Or the fact that he may not have read-or at least did not concur with-the page­and-a-half of tear-jerking rubbish which appeared in the Oct. 10 HOYA and which you tried to pass off as news and intelligent analysis of the situation? That is the smallest, most close-minded viewpoint I've ever heard ex­pressed in a newspaper. However, I guess it is in keeping with your editorial policy. It's a shame that the HOYA editorials can't speak for the students at Georgetown, or even for a majority of the edi­torial board. But I suppose that would mean recognition on your part that some people at the Uni­versity disagree with you, and tha t, in turn, would mean that you'd have to face reality. So I see your problem, Don, and, be­lieve me, I'm sorry for you. I'm also sorry for the students at Georgetown whom you cannot rep­resent.

Michael J. O'Leary CoIl. '71

WRONG MAN To the Editor:

I would first like to commend you for exposing the issue of the inn efficiency in our physical plant, and then to condemn you for blasting the one man who is do­ing the most to combat this situa­tion: Mr. John Grove.

As a resident of the Interna­tional Student House, I have come to work in close contact with Mr. Grove and have found him easy to work with, able to get things done, and most of all, he trusts the students and listens to them with an open mind: a rare commodity in this University. In fact, his tendency to press his staff to work harder may have led your "authoritative source" to disclose this story. It has come to my attention that due to the con­ditions in your editorial, there may have been built up a surplus of unused supplies that could be used to clean the University for the month of February. If this is true, then Mr. Grove is actually saving the UniverSity (us) money. How dreadful!

Also, Mr. Grove has been on his present job for only a month. In my own case at Xavier, Mr. Grove has taken "the Black Hole of Calcutta" to a standard of livabil­ity. He has procured doors that were "unprocurable"; he has sent back carpenters who have done a sloppy job the first time around. Xavier's maids and housemen, under Mr. Grove's supervision as head of East Campus Maintenance, are probably the best in the en­tire University. He has given paint and other supplies for I.S.H.'s rejuvenation projects. Mr. Grove has repeatedly taken ver­bal lashings from his superiors, who might be jealous of his abil­ity to get things done with a minimum of red tape. He has

FACULTY DEFENSE To the Editor:

It was with some dismay that I read the letter written by Ter­ence J. Boyle and Frederick J. Hurley ("Teaching Ability") which appeared in The HOYA Jan. 15. To say that the letter was unfair would be of no importance. For I am not bothered by the vicious, indiscriminate, adolescent con­demnation the authors heaped upon a sizeable portion of the Georgetown faculty. My concern, rather, is with the simple-minded naivete exhibited by the authors in their attempted examination of the true nature of Georgetown's academic ills.

A prime example of their sim­ple-mindedness is the fact that at no time did the authors define what they meant by the teaching ability which they seemed to find so lacking in certain of our fac­ulty members. They just inno­cently assumed we were all in agreement as to what comprises good teaching and then proceed­ed to give a tedious list of the heroes and villains sitting (or skulking) on the faculty. By their failure to define their terms Messrs. Boyle and Hurley did not provide the reader with the slightest conceptualization of what they were talking about. This confusion perSists since not every­one shares their views on the rela­tive abilities of Drs. Walter I. Giles, Carroll J. Quigley, George W. Carey, Bruce Davie, Valerie A. Earle, Howard Penniman, et eLl. So it is that unless our teachers are to be appraised on the basis of inane excoriations by student correspondents with The HOYA, we must be provided with a more objective means of judgment. Fun­damental fairness requires that our faculty members be judged according to some kind of reas­onably definite, uniformly applied standard with which the Univer­sity at large may agree or disa­gree. The lack of such a standard may trace its non-roots to the ret­icence of the authors' spiritual leader, Dr. Walter 1. Giles, in re­vealing to an expectant George­town the true nature of teaching ability. In his last two appear­ances in The HOYA (Dec. 12 and Feb. 13) Dr. Giles has titillated us with the profound assertion that, indeed, there are bad teach­ers at Georgetown. If this was the extent of what was written, I would agree with the making of that assertion by Dr. Giles. But Dr. Giles has gone further and has called for a revamping of the faculty in accordance with a prin­ciple-teaching ability-which he has not deigned to set forth and elaborate. Messrs. Boyle and Hur­ley, . in keeping with the level of discussion set by Dr. Giles, fol­lowed up with a list of targets for extermination. In short, the stage of airy assertions has passed and the deed is at hand: several mem­bers of the Georgetown faculty have been named as inferior teach­ers, and it is time for Giles, Hur­ley and Boyle to level with us. Since they have cast themselves in the roles of judge and jury, it is incumbent upon them to at least tell us what the law is and then to show us how each of the accused teachers either does or does not meet their requirements. The fact that they have thus far refrained from doing so proves that they are no slOUChes when it comes to trammeling the due proc­ess of law to which Dr. Giles pays so much lip service.

Letters to the Editor • • •

RESPONSIBILITY To the Editor:

This letter is in reference to stories that have appeared in the last two issues of The HOYA. In these articles The HOYA has dis­played the worst and most irre­sponsible type of journalism. Its cavalier disregard of the trust, its deliberate twisting of facts, its malicious misquoting of people in­terviewed, all seemingly done so as to fit a preordained judgment, is a total disgrace. It is equalled only by The HOYA's unbelievable lack of judgment and propriety. This attitude and this type of be­havior is the best ammunition possible for those who claim that students are not responsible enough and lack the requisite judgment to help govern a uni­versity.

Two weeks ago in an article on intervisitations I was quoted as saying that the New South House Council's work had been "slip­shod." I never used that word in reference to anything. It was my view that, though there was room for improvement, the Council had on the whole performed in a mature, patient, responsive and responsible manner. The thrust of my criticism was directed at the lack of overall direction from the SPO office during the first sem­ester. I was quoted as saying "some girls had stayed overnight." This was misquoted and totally out of context. I was referring to a violation which those of us in­volved in the experiment knew would happen but which price we

were willing to pay in o'rder to have such a program benefitting all the residents.

These and other thoughts were explained in a thirty minute in­terview, but none found their way into the quotes attributed to me.

Last week there appeared ar­ticles about Mr. John Grove and dorm maintenance and about Dean Klein. The injustice and in­credible inaccuracy of the former story is equalled only by the im­propriety and deliberate misquot­ing of the latter.

Throughout the first semester I, and I understand the other house­masters, urged the editor to write about the maintenance situation. Nothing, however, was seen, and it took a flu epidemic and health report to cause a change in ad­ministrators. Mr. Grove, newly placed in charge, is an excellent administrator. His interest in the residents and in bettering the con­dition of the dorms can be readily attested to by the residents of the East Campus. He is hampered by a lack of money caused by the man the editor exonerated, Father Collins (note the lack of trash pickup and floor sweeping on the weekends) and by personnel hired by his predecessor. The HOYA story was unjust. In its comments about New South, it was totally incorrect. The HOYA owes Mr. Grove a public apology and I hope it has the decency and courage to give it.

The story concerning Dean Klein's supposed departure was outrageous. The impropriety of asking employees about their em­ployer is great, but the phrasing of loaded questions in an attempt to reach a preordained conclusion is even greater. In this article, every housemaster was misquoted This was no mean task to twist, change, or add to the statements of evel·y housemaster, so as to draw the desired conclusion. This is the best example of irresponsi­ble journalism and is a disgrace to the field of newsreporting.

Twice I was asked by the re­porter if I viewed Dean Klein's reported departure as a victory for the liberal trends established by Dean Hartmann and Dr. Tripp. Twice I denied that this was my view. Yet, The HOYA quoted the

reporter's OpInIOnS as coming from my mouth. This goes far to destroy the credibility of any pub­lication.

I was the editor of my college paper and I always placed the ac­curate reporting of facts and state­ments as a high priority. It's a shame that The HOYA does not view accuracy, truths, and correct statements as a requirement of a newspaper.

FACT OR FICTION? To the Editor:

In every HOYA publication there is printed after the list of editors "The University subscribes to the principle of responsible freedom of expression for our student edi­tors." The Feb. 20, 1969 issue of the HOYA makes a mockery of this confidence and trust of the University. There are two flagrant examples of irresponsible journal­ism: the article commenting on "Dean Klein's Alleged Exit" and the one concerning Mr. Grove's handling of maintenance.

In the particular article con­cerning Dean Klein every house­master was either misquoted, quoted out of context, or quoted without permission. The direct quote attributed to Jerry Mulli­gan was absolutely incorrect and the direct quote by Jeff Dwyer must have been made by some­one else. Mr. Wes Clark, the author of this travesty, Obviously had something to say and he used out of context quotes or manufactured quotes in order to create his story. The slant of the story was Mr. Clark's, not that of the various housemasters and stu­dents quoted in the article.

The attack on Mr. Grove, the new Director of Maintenance, was uncalled for, untrue, a pure fab­rication of the editor of The HOYA, Mr. Casper. In my past three years at Georgetown I have seen some very poor journalism in The HOYA, but this attack on Mr. Grove is the kind of journalism that makes Wesbrook Peg 1 e r famous. The shortage of toilet paper complained of is absolutely unfounded. Every RA in Copley has enough toilet paper to supply his own floor plus a few more. In Harbin there have been no com­plaints made to the RA's. In Loyola and the International Stu­dent House the students were amazed that The HOYA could write such a ridiculous article. We are all still wondering where

The HOYA gets its information. Mr. Grove deserves a public

apology. Since he has taken over the entire campus, there has been at least a 100 percent improve­ment in the dormitory conditions. In my own experiences with Mr. Grove on the East Campus I have found Mr. Grove cooperative, effi­cient, and concerned. On page 9 of The HOYA (Feb. 20) there is a picture of two students standing over a pool table. The panelling in the background was installed by one of Mr. Grove's men. The panelling in the ISH lounge was also installed by one of Mr. Grove's men. This University, and that means the students too, should be grateful that we have men as competent and concerned as Mr. Grove. Speaking on behalf of the students of the ISH and on behalf of all the housemasters, I would like to publicly thank Mr. Grove for his efforts and at the same time to condemn The HOYA for its outrageous and unfounded attack.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS To the Editors:

It is extremely disappointing to find the Yard following the East Campus student council into dis­integration. The recent Yardwm undoubtedly marks the nadir of the College council. It would seem the officers never had platforms, nor workers and supporters by whom they could be implemented. And if these students will not do the work, one can hardly expect those of us who were neither one to do it. Has disillusionment been substituted for "creativity and dynamism" in the rank and file?

Of course, I know: "Present stu­dent government structures are to blame, not the representatives; nothing can be accomplished." Yet these claims are refuted by their bearers in the Ynrdarm: "As a stUdent body, we have already achieved most of the things that directly affect our campus life." What structures were used to do this, fellows? Since our country has attained th{! highest position in history, who don't we restruc­ture the government, forming an international supergovernment? The apologia does not cut the mustard.

Get with it, Messrs. Representa­tives. You have mentioned the problems in your "unslanted and accurately reported" letter.

Re social events. Remember the great private university conven­tion? I will bet it never entered the Yard's mind to question schools which had already allowed 'liquor and girls' about the manner in which they handle social events.

Re alumni: If the present com­mittee wants to remain in medi­ocrity, start a new one. Let it use the seniors as a base and write letters to alumni to tell them what is happening. The other group will soon become as dead as it is useless.

Re ConCon: Maybe so few voted, because they refused to accept the "structural" garbage to which they had been subjected. They ex­pect those who take office to ful­fill their obligations, not shun them with outrageous excuses. (If only 40 percent voted to have a ConCon, how many can be ex-

pected to support the proposals which come out of it?)

Re physical plant: While the Yard sits there "reasoning to­gether" the same policies are be­ing followed. Does it think that the residents will not back up the demands which it is obligated to make? Why not a "garbage-or­dirt-in" in Healy, New South, or the Jesuits' residence?

Re athletics: Sports are for the entire University, not the teams themselves. The Yard represents more students than do the varsity athletics. The Yard should be sure athletic funds are distributed in a way which reflects stu den t opinion.

Rejoice at the drop in track funds. Don't we all get the adrenalin pumping when we see $320,000 worth of athletes-five times a year-only for a couple of minutes in a half-hour event!

Let's regain our senses concern­ing football. It would take $10 million to go back to the big-time. Successful small college playing is not inexpensive either. But if it is wanted, formulate a "five-year plan" to develop the needed fi­nancial base.

Basketball holds the key to sports prominence, in both na­tional and alumni recognition. (Basketball is far from my favor­ite sport.) Use part of the newly available funds for an extra schol­arship and a yearly road trip to the Midwest-and other sections. The alumni in these areas would again become interested in George­town. Rent Cole Field House to draw major teams from outside the East.

You see, gentlemen, here is much which you can fight for and accomplish. And I have only touched the surface. Rather than vegetate, lead.

YARD ATTENDANCE To the Editor:

I would like to echo the senti­ments that were expressed by two fellow freshmen in "What Yard?" as recorded by the Feb. 20, 1969 edition of The HOYA. It seems that more than half of our elected representatives in the Yard Coun­cil, for some, as of yet unexplained reasons, did not have enough sense of committment to the students that put them in office, to even attend the body's Sunday meet­ing Feb. 16. This lack of respon­sible action on the part of our representatives is just one in a series of numerous events that in­dicates that Georgetown's student government is one which is sorely in need of closer scrutiny on the part of the student body.

Like many in the College, I would hope to see the day when our Council can set down disciplin­ary regulations, formulate dormi­tory policy, etc. . . . However, I also feel that before we begin clamoring for a wider scope of powers for our elected officials, we should make sure that they are fully and efficiently executing what duties are presently entrust­ed to them. A powerful student government must be preceded by one which is responsible!

THEATRE: Curative For The Fabulous Invalid (Editor's Note: Lives and atti­tildes are often formed and sha.ped by intelectual inflllences hllndreds of miles away. In all ages the theatre has made important con­tributions to the climate of thought. This week, The HOY A makes an attempt to sll1'vey the current scene.)

Turkey was once the "sick man of Europe" and Broadway has often been referred to as the "fabulous invalid." Without com-

menting on the current position of Turkey, it can easily be said that some remarkable curative has been discovered because Broadway has this year leaped from its sick bed, kicking away its crutches and braces, and is leading an entertain­ment parade from 43rd street north to 65th.

It is significant that it is not the Broadway of the middle-class, middle-aged, midwestern business-

man that is leading this revival. Rather, it is the staple of the ancients and the modern; the straight dramatic play is finding a new validity and the office party musical is falling by the roadside. The dramatic play is also more than an artistic success. It is also, rarity of rarities, a commercial box office boffo rake in the money­type success.

In the last few months, Broad­way has been ignited by the sensitive, intelligent, s tell a r portrayals of personalities trans­mitted into flesh and bones by the reality of simply magnificent act­ing. The play is the thing and there are six of them along with six actors and one actress worth men­tioning with especial consideration.

To find such ability at the same time and in the same city is al­most a "cry for happy."

William Gibson, author of Two for the SeesaJU) and The Miracle Worker, is a talented man. He has spent his artistic life writing of the struggle for relationship be­tween persons. Usually, as in Miracle Worker, he attempts to expliciate his viewpOint on a small level, reducing the scope to eternal problems expressed in the actions of two persons. With Cry of Players at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre in Lincoln Center he again chooses to spin out a theme and to have two players pull out the thread. He depicts two newly­married people in early sixteenth century England to portray the pull of talent and ability as op­posed to the bonds of matrimony and home and hearth. His char­acters are named Will and Anne and although it is never said, it is assumed that they are the young Will Shakespeare of Stratford and his wife Anne.

Gibson has an affection for the acting abilities of Anne Bancroft -and who doesn't? This play is a vehicle for her type of characteri­zation. She is the strong type, the wife who is older than her hus­band. She is tough and earthily vibrant as she attempts to under­stand the husband she will never comprehend. She would like him to be a successful tanner or the village schoolmaster. Miss Ban­croft's portrayal is balanced by that of Frank Langella as Will, who towers over this excellent production. In truth, to note that he towers over the production is to compliment by understate­ment; and his performance alone makes the play worthy of com­ment. He is invigorating and in­structive as he seems to almost

intuitively express the reactions of this young man of ability who is frustrated by the limitations of his surroundings and who will be driven by his convictions from home into the world of the theatre.

Shakespeare himself wrote the play that alternates with Cry of Players at the Beaumont, King Lear. Unfortunately, the cast is not up to the play-but then few are. It is interesting to watch Lee J. Cobb experiment with Lear. To a great degree his interpretation is successful. He is not foolish wise as was Paul Scofield but ap­pears to be doddering, drooling wise. His virtue is consistency of characterization and a structured approach to his role. As a result his tragedy is made relevant to the audience and that alone makes him worthy of admiration.

Downtown a little ways, Dustin Hoffman is appearing in Jimmy Shine by Murray Schisgal. The play is about someone in the ad­vanced stages of Graduatitis. It is a nothing play except for Hoff­man who is really adept on stage.

Another play that is big time up in Fun City is Howard Sack­ler's The Great White Hope. This is a play that had its debut here

in Washington as a specially-pre­pared production for Arena Stage. It is a fast-paced, hard-punching play of 19 scenes crowded into two hours and fifteen minutes. Played almost without any scen­ery, it concerns itself with the first Negro heavyweight champion of the world and the struggles of the white world to find a hope, a contender, who will put this im­possibility in his place. It is a play of conflict and racism and violence

and strength. Its energy pours out over the audience and draws them into the action. To be honest, though, it is a weak play in many parts with some characters being only partially formed. But the hero of the hour and a man of many parts is James Earl Jones. As Jack Jefferson he, well, he is overwhelming. Every nuance is there perfectly stated and pre­sented. This is an actor who knows what he is doing, does it

NOTATIONS IN A FARRAGO a weekly ;ournal 01 diverse things-being relevant to little other than diversions.

l\IANON LESCAUT. An opera in four acts by Giacommo Puccini. Produced by the Washington Opera Society, Richard Perleman director. At Lisner Auditorium.

To begin at the beginning, Manon Lesca'nt is not one of Puc­cini's greatest operas. The Wash­ington Opera Society is not one of the world's greatest prodUcing ensembles. Further, this produc­tion had been designed around the talents and dimensions of Teresa Stratas. Miss Stratas, unfortu­nately, was unable to be in at­tendance.

What is one to do? Punting was the decision of director Richard Perleman who snatched Rainia Tchjklema out of New York at two in the morning and put her on stage at eight-thirty that eve­ning.

This young diva is talented and the clumsiness of her actions can eaSily be attributed to the new­ness of the prodUction and her un­familiarity with cast, crew, and conductor. Her voice has the range of a great Manon. With the ex­ception of the upper ranges she allowed her voice to soar and to savor the delicious musicological bits that Puccini could contrive for his sopranos.

Make no mistake, this is not a Butterfly with its delicate figured brilliance or a Turandot all gleam­ing diamonds of ice and fire; rather, Manon is an unrepentant and unacknowledged wanderer dying on a desert outside of New Orleans (that's what the program says) .

The entire cast is satisfactory. The production is elaborate and some of the direction is downright bad (soldiers entering stage left through a wall). The most ob­jectionable moment is the use of a counter-tenor to sing the aria of the madrigal singer. But such objections are only passing mo­ments and the lapses of taste are few.

Donovan's Greatest Hits: An Epic Recording.

A few years ago, Donovan ap­peared on the musical scene. The world did not change overnight as a result of Donovan. In fact, not much has happened except that Donovan is a comfortable part of many lives. His rhythms are con­trapuntal and humable. They spin out of amplifiers as from his hurdy-gurdy man. The develop­ment from "Mellow Yellow" to "Jennifer Juniper" is interesting and a worthwhile study for those

willing to postulate simple things. It is a pleasant collection.

Celebration: An original cast re­cording on Capitol Records.

What seems to be ages ago in an antedeluvian time, Tom Jones (no not that Tom Jones, not that Tom Jones, either) and Harvey Schmidt wrote a small musical called The Fantasticks. It opened to less than enthusiastic reviews-it is still running. Last month their newest show, Celebration, opened to less than enthusiastic reviews-past track records indicate tkat it will be running a hundred years from now. The music is inventive and whimsical in an intelligent man­ner. This is an album that stands on its own merits and they are worthwhile.

The Metroliner-a train .. that goes from here to Fun City once every day and returns the same day.

The airports are overcrowded and it takes forever to fly un­comfortably to the outer reaches of Long Island. Soon the FAA will strangle the shuttle in an attempt to avoid congestion of the air­ways. In that mystical future, the train will again assume a role of importance.

The train is from America's age of innocence, when romance was lasting and long. The plane ended this with its hurry up approach to lines and its fleeting stops.

The Penn Central Railroad has developed a new train with the help of the Budd Company which is more comfortable than the Pull­man that dominated trains of the past. This train is half an hour faster than old trains which is not much. But it is comfortable and relaxing. It is a fine agury for relaxed contemplation w h i I e travelling. One can only wish it success and hope that the bumps are removed from its roadbed.

JP-an annual thing held at the Washington Hilton.

JP or PJ, depending which way one looks at the sign, happens each year sometime shortly after Groundhog Day. It is a spring rite of Sabiasm in which tens of thousands of dollars are offered up in return for the pleasure of a few moments in the International Ballroom of the Washington Hilton in the company of friends and the mighty magnificences of the en­tertainment world.

This year's ritual, under the sponsorship of the producers of John Carroll Weekend and Take-

Off, was attended by almost twenty-six hundred worshippers. It was a thing to be proud of and a sight to behold. The first eve­ning, the assembled masses were serenaded for forty-minute periods (separated by twenty-minute ab­lution breaks) by Count Basie. His Excellency led his sixteen minions in a snappy beat known to some as the Basie Bloop. Neither fast nor slow but with a particular style that was pleasing and re­warding to the ear and the mind, the Count was a fine beginning.

The second event-packed eve­ning of the JP was highlighted by the fifty-minute appearance of the Vanilla Fudge. This group from the wilds of the Fillmore (E&W) was paid at the rate of one hun­dred and twenty dollars a minute or an average of thirty dollars a man a minute. Not bad. There was the sensation among many in the crowd that it was all a put-on. Somehow, the Fudge probably felt the same way. After all, they are one type of group and the JP crowd was another. Happily, though, the blending was accom­plished-and the VF at JP played and sang, towered over by their amplification system. Their music is an elongated blending of pre­cise electronic harmonies amplified

intentionally, but doesn't out­wardly show that he acts other than naturally. His very presence on the stage quickens the pace and joggles the play. At times it seems that Jones is picking How­ard Scakler's work up by the ard Sackler's work up by the scruff of its neck and playfully tossing it around.

Donald Pleasance is an elegant actor. He is, apparently, guided by some sort of inner force. In Man in a Glass Booth, Robert Shaw's new play directed by Harold Pinter, he is crystal and ice as he depicts a Jew who is a Nazi who was a Jew (or was it the other way around?). It is a play de­signed to expose the prejudices of man, the Pleansance is a perfect devil's advocate. His performance is so sharply etched and cleanly defined that it approches perfec­tion. One is led to question one's beliefs as a result of his interpreta­tion of this figure on trial by his peers-the citizens of the world. In all honesty, it must be ad­mitted that this is a play that deserves much study for its mean­ing which is not overly clear to the first glance of the beholder.

The final play and the final actor to be considered are also the finest examples of the crafts of play­wright and actor available in this overly-rich season. Hadrian VII is Peter Luke's depiction of the magesterial metaphysical meander­ings of one Frederick William Rolfe, the sometime Baron Corvo. Rolfe, a man rejected from the priesthood, was consumed by a passion to prove himself and to energize the world with his ap­proach to organized religion. His masterpiece is Hadrian VII. And

and woven with intelligent im­provisation. Improvement is neces­sary, however, to allow for the re­duction of amplified sound to pro­vide for a gradual realization of their crescendo technique. They were good.

The JP people were courteous and efficient, their style being cramped only by the printing of counterfeit tickets and the clumsy ineptitudes of the Washington Hil­ton, a hotel that must pride itself on taking people for rides. A staff of nimble Myrmidons removed all lighting fixtures from the tables at midnight the first evening and another trained cadre of the Hil­ton Gouge Young People corps (Hilton GYP) poured exceedingly execrable liquor at excessively high prices. On the whole it was a good time.

THE TRAGEDY OF LYNDON JOHNSON by Eric F. Goldman. Published by Alfred A. Knopf.

John F. Kennedy had Arthur Schlesinger. Lyndon Johnson had Eric Goldman. Mr. Kennedy was luckier. Mr. Goldman is a noted historian of Modern Metroamerica (as he would call it). He gained his fame and renown as a de­tached social critic. In his latest work, a study of his involvement in and with the administration of the second President Johnson, Mr.

it is from this chimerical novel that Luke has built his story, weaving into it fragments of Rolfe's own life. In conception it is sheer magnificance. In detail it is elaborate. And its texture is all church red and purple with the white of Hadrian visible as the peak of a man's dreaming.

Rolfe's imagInings carry him in

Goldman attempts to show why Lyndon Baines Johnson was not a success as a chief executive.

It is a rather gossipy backstairs account and Mr. Goldman comes off as a second-rate Evelyn Lin­coln. What is tremendously sad, is to read the ever increasing con­voluted reasonings of Mr. Gold­man offered in an attempt to ex­plain his White House tenure. As a result the work should more properly be called the Tragedy of Eric Goldman. The poor man simp­ly refuses to acknowledge that al­most any normal and patriotic man would not decline the offer of a president to work as a Prufrock.

THE LINCOLN PORTRAIT: per­formed by the Washington N a­tional Symphony under the direc­tion of Aaron Copland. Narration by Coretta Scott King.

Those Georgetown students for­tunate enough to squeeze into Con­stitutional Hall two weeks ago were exceedingly lucky. For the National Symphony played music that it loved and had placed a special claim on. The members were led by a conductor they re­spect, the composer of the works they played. The narrator was a figure of national statore and emotional renown and the date was Lincoln's birthday.

In the last few years, the Na-

THE DOrA

the play to the foot of St. Peter's throne which he is none too hesi­tant about taking. In fact, he grabs it just as Alec McCowen has grabbed the role of Rolfel Hadrian and achieved a meta­morphosis of character. He is the best thing on Broadway and is perhaps the best thing since Sco­field was Thomas More. He does what he has to do, he does more, and still is able to find the heart of the play in all of his move­ments and words. He makes the delusions of Rolfe believable and the shock when Hadrian is finally assassinated is the greater because of the horror held in the minds and souls of the audience. It is a catholic play but not a Catholic play. It is the best that this season has to offer and that is saying a very great deal.

It is so very rare to have so much talent exhibiting itself at one time. In fact, New York seems to be exuding this ability. The theatre is something that should be at the call of all college students as legitimate dramatic works are the subject of discus­sions and deliberations both in class and out of it. New York now is featuring a number of superb plays. What makes it worthwhile is that some extremely talented people are presenting their in­terpretations of this depiction. They are extremely successful and their approaches are valid.

tional Symphony has on several occasions played Aaron Copland's Lincoln Portrait under the direc­tion of its now retiring musical director, Howard Mitchell. Each time it has had a figure of nation­al prominence to read the care­fully selected words of our great­est preSident. One can remember Adlai Stevenson standing in front of the Smithsonian on a warm Memorial Day only weeks before his death and speaking the words of the prairie president.

But that was in the past. The audience in Constitution Hall had come to think about the present. In the hall, that night, the present was everything. The voice was that of Mrs. Martin Luther King, the words were those of Lincoln and a century past. But as the call rose urging us to disenthrall our­selves and to think anew and to act anew, wanting to be neither slave nor master the audience was caught up. And as Mrs. King spoke the words excepted from the sec­ond inaugural address, they hit afresh and made one understand that these were not the textbook phrases but living and breathing thoughts ...

It was one of those moments, when the history of the past is caught in the all too painfully near history of the present and balanced on an eloquent musical theme.

The year will be remembered as being even more boring than it really was if this space and all others continually re­hash the same tedious issues over and over again. Once and for all let us dismiss our perpetual newsmakers (some would say obsessions) with a final summation-unless, of course, next week proves to be as dull as this one, in which case the old war horses (or leaps into fantasy should even the stand­bys fritter away) will be trotted out once more, should the space need to be filled.

Beer in the cafeteria-There is no reason in the world why Marty's On The Potomac should not offer brew for sale to students if it and they so desire, both of which are now fore­gone conclusions. The only obstacle is 1789's staunch oppo­sition. It is unlikely any profits from Marty's will be pennies pinched from Mr. McCooey's pocket, the Tombs being per­petually packed on weekends and Marty's being hardly a threat in the critical summer months.

Dr. John Lydgate-His remarks about Mr. McCooey's selfishness and food poisoning at 1789 were intemperate at best (Lord only knows how many cases of ptomaine the caf has bestowed on us all!). Yet he made these statements while striving to procure for students that which their leaders seemed incapable of obtaining. Dr. Lydgate is an undeniably brilliant man and renowned as a gifted instructor. His gen­uine devotion overcomes any petty deviations in his funda­mentally sound stance.

The Yard-For all the invective heaped upon Dan Hurson et aI, the central problem is not of his, or their, making but attributable to an apparent Administration reticence to give student government any real powers. Even if, an admittedly slender if it is, the Yard decided to do something, there's precious little they could do. Hopefully, the constitutional convention can correct that. Hopefully.

The Walsh Area Student Council-Their raison d'etre seems to we whittling away their raison dJetre. More sensi­tive to the erosion of any vestige of authority, they have simply opted for obscurity. There is thus little to base a value judgment of their relative success this year on. Further­more, this little one can expect them to accomplish for their constituency for roughly the same reason we have be­come accustomed to emptiness from the Yard.

WGTB-They're nowhere near as bad as their ratings would indicate. They perform a valuable service to the com­munity and it would be difficult to envision Georgetown without a radio station. But, their disc jockeys favor banter over comment, their station manager has not yet decided among rock, easy listening, and classical music as to what will be the station's ultimate direction, and their progressive programming is stupified by a lamentable sameness.

T. Byron Collins-Jesuits-The truth lies somewhere between "I never met

a Jesuit I didn't like" (or, the majority's response, "I never met a Jesuit at all") and a second suppression of the order. They are a delicious target, seemingly embodying reaction, intransigence and a whole host of other damnable tendencies. Their one obvious fault is that they apparently care scarcely at all for their image. The identification of Jesuits, who, after all is said and done run this university, with arch-conserva­tism results in the belief that swift Potomac's lovely daughter is some pseudo-Queen Victoria.

The tuition increase-The specific cost hike is mathemati­cally insignificant (if you can afford $1850, $2000 is hardly devastating). The disturbing factor is the callousness with which these promulgations were tossed out, not to mention the fact that we are on the verge of pricing ourselves out of the educational market.

Tho HOY A-There was an interesting Philodemic meet­ing some time back which focused on journalism on campus. It would be no surprise to disclose that this institution did not fare too well. It attempts nothing and succeeds while others attempt something and fail. It reflects the personali­ty of the chief contributors, appearing simultaneously as a Goldwateresque, Marcuse-influenced, fascistic liberal organ, a Hydra without peer whose confusion permeates, seeps, and corrupts.

Athletics-Hardly the beacon of hope (Magee? Bene­dek?!?!), they struggle on, in the face of adversity and apathy. They are in their own way a mini-Georgetown. Per­haps studying this sub-culture may reveal the path of the larger bulk. But let us hope we are not perplexed by per­hapses again. It is all that grows though behind the gates at 37th and O ....

Firings Attributed To Racial Problems By Student Workers

(Continued from Page 1) a better position. Actually, he was removed only two weeks after re­portedly saying, within earshot of Suber, "You can't get anything done with these niggers around here."

Suber and Loescher both deny any racial implications in this man's abrupt departure from Washington, calling it a "manage­ment decision." One student work­er, however, said, "Suber moved him out ... that's a fact."

Another incident following in November saw two white workers in the bakery department fired for alleged racism. Suber and Loescher once again deny the existence of any racial angle.

"It's tough," said Loescher, "when one's a Negro and the other a white. But I don't care who he is, if he is a good worker, he stays. If you have conflict, it doesn't mean it's a racial issue."

Another student worker pro­vided a somewhat different story, however. He reported the two whites were fired shortly after a Negro worker in the bakery com­plained to Suber that the two men did not like him because he was black.

"They're simply not telling the truth," the student claims, "if they tell you there was nothing racial about the two bakers being fired. They might not have been the best workers in the world but t~ey

sure as hell weren't fired because of that."

A not her long-standing com­plaint voiced by the cafeteria workers has concerned their wages. They spoke freely with stu­dent leaders and reporters as re­cently as the Oct. 3 cafeteria boy­cott. Then they complained loudly that they had not received all the pay raises about which James Rich was telling student council representatives. Now, according to one Yard leader, "They have been shut up with threats of layoffs."

A student worker spoke freely nonetheless about one complaint of the colored help. "It really grated these people when they asked for a raise at the end of last year and were told there was no money. They accepted this as fact until they sawall that money being spent on renovation of the grill area for what is now Marty's On The Potomac," he said.

Rev. Thomas R. Fitzgerald, S.J., the Academic Vice President reports that the renovation cost

Campus Violence: Part Of Student Life Warren Knowles is the Repub­

lican governor of the state of Wis­consin. He is also a man who shows a remarkable gift for off­handedly and quite unconsciously crystallizing what the current sweep of on-campus violence is all about. "There's something behind this whole movement from San Francisco State to Columbia. It is being directed by someone who has different ideologies than we have."

That seems to be precisely the point in all the accumulating ex­amples of upheaval in academia. The ideological gap widening be­tween administrators and those that they administrate is based not so much on a specific issue (the war is passe, involvement in politics gauche after America chose Nixon voluntarily) but on a new awareness of what student power really means. The trustees, deans, disciplinarians, and what not are ultimately here to serve those who come to the school and pay for an education. The students are to be served and consulted rat her than subjugated and cajoled. They are taking on an in­creasingly significant role in everything from academic control to faculty tenure. Whether or not the disputes erupt into full-scale confrontations with all the trap­pings these things now apparently require (a small Army unit, some tear gas, a few club-happy police, etc.) depends on how sensitive the university is to change. Thus, the University of Wisconsin, Duke, the University of Chicago, How­ard, beleagured Berkeley, and City College of New York suffered the worst most recently.

No Shut-Down

The situation in Wisconsin is perhaps the easiest to analyze. On Feb. 12 in a reaction to the griev­ances of Negro students, more than two thousand national guard troops were mobilized to break up pickets blocking streets on the campus. The g u a r d s were equipped with bayonets, machine guns, and riot-control gas, enough to clear almost any street any­where. The students temporarily occupied key buildings, blockading those they could not seize.

The demands were plain enough -a black curriculum, more Negro students and teachers, and the re­admission of the 90 students expelled for disruption of classes. University authorities would have none of it, however, opting to sup­press the immediate problem and probe for a long-range resolution. The aforementioned Gov. Knowles vowed he would not allow the school to be shut down. He hur­riedly submitted to the state legis­lature a passel of programs en­abling Wisconsin to cope with fu­ture revolutions. Knowles urged statutes to force expUlsion of stu­dents and dismissal of faculty members who partook in unsanc-

tioned demonstrations. That bill is still pending but Knowles was given one new resource-the pow­er to cancel state aid to any and all arrested in protest gatherings.

The Cause Celebre

While the issue at overwhelm­ingly Caucasian Wisconsin was quite clearly race and the Uni­versity's insensitivity towards po­tential racism, there were signs that the administration in Madison saw anarchism as the subterranean cause of the dissent. Marshall Colston, a Negro professor of an­t h r 0 polo g y, claimed, "Black demands have become secondary and the University is being threat­ened by those who wish to destroy it."

The troops have pulled back and the black studies program is still being routed through committee. Yet, the seige showed how a con­ventional, traditionally pacific in­stitution struggles with the Scylla and Charybdises of dissatisfaction -it relegates the urgent cause celebre to a committee, study group, etc, while eradicating those front page pictures of soldiers tear gassing students that so upset lib­erals and disturb donors.

Duke's putsch is something else again. For one thing, its location in Durham, North Carolina, makes it the only Southern school to ex­perience turbulence since James Meredith met George Wallace in a Mississippi doorway back when. Secondly, the uprising at Duke be­gan as the effort of a minority of a minority-some thirty to forty of the University's one hundred Negroes invaded the ground floor of the administration building Feb. 13. They held strong for nine hours, warning that if the appro­priate powers did not capitulate to their demands at once, the school records would be burnt.

Tiring of the studied silence

that Duke disciplinarians reacted to them with and reticent to com­mit actual acts of sabotage for which they could be prosecuted, the occupation forces left their temporary home eventually. Once outside they were joined by some four hundred to eight hundred (depending upon which news re­port you accept) white under­graduates who were sympathetic to their views. At this point, the Durham police and North Carolina state troopers moved in on the phalanx of students, dispersing the "rioters" with gasses and the spectre of mass arrests. Eighteen people, none of them law enforce­ment officers, had to be hospital­ized for minor wounds. Faculty member Tom Rainey was quoted by The New York Times on Val­entine's Day as saying, "I am mor­ally incensed. These people have gassed the people to whom the university belongs." Little pro­gress was reported on negotiating a middle ground between the ex­treme student positions and the administration's stance. One prob­lem was the radical nature of the proposals, especially for a school such as Duke, known as an edu­cational citadel, spiritually close to its Carolinan roots.

Apartheid

The alienated blacks insisted upon installation of a black studies program controlled entirely by blacks. Additional but nonetheless equally important demands in­cluded a separate dormitory for b I a c k s, reinstatement of all blacks who have flunked out, an increase in black enrollment, a black adviser elected by black stu­dents, a surruner orientation pro­gram for incoming blacks, an end to alleged "police harassment" of black students, and, probably the most striking departure of all, a revision of the grading system for black students, weighing in race as a criteria.

At Duke, the call for apartheid in reverse is the crux of the mat­ter and it is unlikely that either the University or even a plurality of the students will ultimately re­vert to the black power gospel preached by the more unreason­able dissenters. The last install­ment has, of course, not yet been penned in the story of Duke's agony, but for once, conservativ­ism seems to have the upper hand. A resolution may ultimately be achieved when the authorities accept the necessity for change and the fringe accepts the neces­sity to scale down an obvious over­reaction to an admittedly unfor­tunate environment.

Chicago still is plagued with the haunting image of Mayor Daley and the quashing of all who de­viate from the party line. It is only natural then that the Windy City should have its share of dis­order as well. Although predomi­nantly Negro Roosevelt University faced considerable trouble, the major Chicago disturbance took place for a little short of two weeks at the University of Chi­cago. Unlike Duke and Wisconsin,

racism scarcely figured at all, the lengthy sit-in at the administra­tion buildings (always a popular target) having been provoked by the purge of a supposedly Marxist sociology instructor. The officials offered a compromise-rehiring the controversial pedagogue for a renewable one-year contract. The teacher refused the pact and the sit-in was abandoned.

Chicago's dilemma was an in-

teresting microcosm of the more unusual variety of campus disrup­tion-that which arises over a very particular problem. Howard shares that uniqueness, its recent explosion in the law school arising over a group of quite detailed specifics in curricula.

. Seeds of Collapse

Dean of the law school Patricia Harris possesses a few trump cards that have enabled her to keep in rein a situation that could tear Howard into fragments. Other than the fact that she is a vivacious, personable, attractive woman, she has a reputation as a diplomat. Miss Harris was an as­sistant ambassador to the United Nations, among other sensitive posts, during the Johnson era. As a professional at reasoning to­gether, she has calmed over the schisms by suspending the rules rather than blindly adhering to them for their own sake, yet has not presided over the deteriora­tion of Howard into a three-ring circus of clownish chaos. Howard law is in good hands. If violence erupts, then it is possible that no matter how competent the ad:nin­istrators are, the seeds of collapse have long since been sown.

The seeds of collapse have yield­ed a crumbling oak at the Uni­versity of California's Berkeley division. The same day that Dur-

ham became a battlefield, students rampaged through the cafeteria and the library, smashing tables and ripping up card catalogues. The Acting Governor, Ronald Reagan, proclaimed that Berkeley was in "a state of extreme emer­gency," showing his well-known perceptiveness once again. More than three thousand students pelted the former Death Valley Days star with insults of all kind as he arrived at a regents meet­ing to urge a wholesale crackdown on lawlessness. Scores of Berkeley­ites, students and faculty alike, have been arrested in this latest rebellion, a seemingly pointless one. Mario Savio and free speech have come and gone, yet Berkeley is still a hotbed of uproar. San Francisco State President S. I. Hayakawa is of the opinion that the crises at Berkeley, and most other schools for that matter, come from the agitation of a clique of revolutionaries that seemingly make an occupation of dissenting. "Certain familiar faces appear and reappear . . . They're not interested in reform . . . They actually want to close down or destroy the college or university."

Trotsky Seminar

Another reason for the Berkeley brouhaha could be that just as the Vietnamese have become accus­tombed to war, California college students expect raids on their

classes and continual re-enact­ment of the Battle of Nations on various esplenades. A more logical rationalization could be that Berkeley has lost all sense of be­ing an educational institute and now is but one vast Trotsky seminar.

As if Mayor Lindsay did not have enough to upset him, stu­dents at City College of New York added to his headaches by staging their own rebellion, again center­ing around creation of a separate school in Negro and Puerto Rican studies. Fortunately for the snow­bound Lindsay, the demonstrators rescinded control of the adminis­tration building after but four hours, CCNY's mini-violence thus pointing toward two trends-one, the symptomatic pattern of pleas for Afro-American courses is spreading; two, the protesters seem intent upon hit and run tac­tics designed mostly to show what damage they could cause if they so desired.

Violence has become as much a part of student life as fraternities, a t hIe tic s, academics, or, for Georgetown, 1189, the Yard, and Jack Magee's theatrics. Whether it becomes widespread enough to even hit the Hilltop is disputable as most things requiring student participation are here. The cafe­teria boycott may have been as tempestuous as we will ever get.

at St. Joseph's. Fr. Judge insisted that they were removed for failure to use proper channels and for allowing unauthorized parties. A letter from the members of the hall appealing for the reinstate­ment of the resident assistants was ignored by Fr. Judge. De­Sabato characterized the firings as acts of "pure whim."

The most consistent criticism of Fr. Judge was summarized by an editorial in the Hawk)s January 13 issue which attacked Fr. Judge's system as ". . . a cold, hard-line authoritative system-a system he created, a system in which the stUdent is not im­portant." DeSabato revealed that the Hawk)s intensive criticism of Fr. Judge was to culminate in a call for his resignation at the sec­ond semester's beginning, but by that time, Fr. Judge was gone. The St. Joseph's administration, DeSabato reports, refused to ad­mit Fr. Judge was removed at all and then told the HOIWk staff that he left to do doctoral work at Boston College.

Fr. Judge's post at St. Joseph's gave him complete control over all phases of resident students' life. At Georgetown, his new job possesses two powers-the lesser being assistant to housing director James Buck, the greater being trainer for all incoming resident assistants. Yet Abbero stated, "He had no success with the resident assistant program .... They didn't agree with him on many things at all. . . . He was not in favor of parietals at St. Joe's."

DeSabato pictured Fr. Judge as "creating the illusion of liberality" but being "inconsistent. . . . He was notorious for changing his mind." Abbero summarized the dis­satisfaction with Fr. Judge by say­ing, "In a very conservative place such as St. Joe's, if a man is moved out as associate dean of students after one semester, some­thing is drastically wrong."

Fr. Judge clarified the mystery of why he was scheduled to be in Boston but turned up in Wash­ington instead. "I simply visited Boston College with the possibility of resuming my graduate studies, but then I changed my plans. . . . I was more interested in student personnel work. . . . I heard there was an opening here, and Dr. Tripp (vice president for stUdent development) called me .... "

Fr. Judge foresees a loose ap­proach to control of non-resident students, advising that there would be "no such thing as regulations for off-campus housing other than those concerning destruction."

Fr. Judge expects to "enjoy be­ing back at Georgetown" (he was assistant director of the student personnel office from 1959 to 1962), exuding, "It is my first love."

G U CAP Probes Black-White Relations Four nwmbers 0/ the George­

town University Oommunity Ac­tion Program (GUOAP }-Robin Landy, Brian Phelan, Mike Whalen, and Gregory Wurxzburg -submitted the following piece. It is an edited transcript of a panel discussion among fifteen students from Georgetown and Western High School. The GUOAP discussion is one of many in a project which attempts to go be­yond the usual tutoring.

Since the Civil War ended in 1865 the most important, persist­ent, and insolvable social problem has been Black and White rela­tions. In that hundred years, only one point of agreement has been reached between Whites, liberals and conservatives, between Blacks, moderates and activists, and be­tween Blacks and Whites. That point is that Blacks have not at­tained the equality to which they are entitled in the United States. From this single pOint of agree­ment a broad spectrum of philoso­phies go into action-very often conflicting action.

Two basic philosophies have been based upon the assumption of Black equality: integration and separatism. They are mutually ex­clusive. The proponents of each of these philosophies can not co-exist without at least one compromis­ing most, if not all, of his ideas. If the past direction of this coun-

try is any indication, integration will be the final goal if not the final solution to the race crisis in the U.S. One would hesitate to say unequivocally that integration is the final solution. It has its drawbacks and there are alterna­tive plans that fill in for these shortCOmings.

Integration

else. Blacks see their share com­ing their way, not by their living in a separate state, but in an in­tegrated state. In a separated state-as things are now-"White men are calling the shots." Possi­bilities are very limited.

Economic equality is defined most simply as an equal chance to earn money and an equal chance to spend it. Many people feel that economic equality is the prerequi­site for all the other "equalities."

"The White man is running the world. He's deciding how many Blacks are going to Viet Nam. He's deciding who we're going to fight with. You've got to have money and pull to get into poli­tics and change this."

Black Business

To get economic equality Blacks have to get money. But they have to earn this money and earn it on their initiative. This means that the paternalistic and psycho­logically crippling handouts of the "Great White Fathers" must be ended, and White-owned business­es that draw money out of the ghettoes should be eliminated and replaced with Black businesses that are able to support and pro­vide for the Black community.

"Blacks rioted. We tore down White man's stuff-that's the im­portant thing ... but money from the Ford Foundation and Rockefel­ler Foundation is not wanted." This is the mood that is on the up­swing. This is part of the ration­ale behind the riots. Conservatives ask, "Why are Blacks rioting?" Liberals ask, "Why are Blacks Pioting in their own communi­ties?" The answer to both ques­tions is because of what outside Whites are doing to the Black communities.

Likewise, the response to the riots is not seen as a completely healthy one by the Black commu­nity. Rather, the Ford and Rocke­feller Foundations-however sin­cere their motives-are seen as at­tempts to re-establish the White economic grip. "In a couple of years, all the things that you build wil not stand."

Would Blacks like to see White businesses pull out? Yes. What will replace the White businesses? Black businesses. This will ideally end the atmosphere of "Whi te colonialism"-a rather dramatic but very real description of the existing situation. But also, many see Black businesses as the vital step towards all-important eco­nomic equality. They would be a very real source of pride. "Let him own [stores in Black neigh­borhoods]. He'll take pride in it."

But ... "If Black businessmen try to start in small business, be­cause that's an outmoded form (in the age of department stores and chain store complexes), they may be doomed to failure."

"By the time we (Blacks) are established in small business, big business will be taking on so much more and Blacks will feel that much worse."

Certain doubts are raised here and the questions are obvious. Can small Black businesses survive the competition wit h established rivals? If they fail, will the fail­ure prove more demoralizing and destructive than if nothing had ben done? Small businesses every­where in the U.S. face the severe problem of competition with larger stores. In the White suburbs in the outlying regions of D.C. for example, corner grocery stores are nearly non-existent.

Shopping malls and mammoth department stores have taken over-and have done so with a re­duced cost to the consumer. In the cities, the big stores with low prices are there, but the small stores with high prices still re­main. They are able to remain and stay in business with high prices for one simple reason. The people who use their stores have no transportation to get to any other stores. "Small stores in ghettoes make money because people can't get out to the suburbs or down­town."

Just shifting ownership of these stores from White to Black would not be enough. Overhead would still force prices to remain high. Nevertheless, the money going in­to them would not be leaving the neighborhood. "Black businessmen want to do something for their brothers. We could take pride in these stores."

Low prices are still necessary if the stores are going to be com­pletely beneficial to the commu­nity. "Without federal regulation and possibly federal subsidy small black businesses would not be feasible."

Catch-up Economics

"We have got to catch up." This sums it up quite well for the economics of black owned business ventures. For them to be left completely on their own without some breaks could be disasterous: They are jumping into a rapidly disappearing scene of small busi­nesses. They are going into it playing catch-up economics.

This presents a d i I e m m a. Economic equality is seen as a lever to attain social equality. Once they are seen as an economic force to be reckoned with, once they are an economic force to be reckoned with, capitalistic Ameri­ca will have very little choice but to listen. But, the posibility of success in this area seems to be somewhat limited if at all possible, without some sort of government intervention. Not handouts, not removing the burden of initiative and hard work from Black en­trepeneurs, but giving them a

The panel at Western High

School worked within the frame- r-----------=-------­work of equality in integration' (as opposed to equality in separa-tion) as a goal. Integration is the most widely accepted goal, both among Blacks and Whites. It is a goal that the government ! of the country has at least nomi- f nally attempted to pursue. In the United States, with Black Ameri­ca in the economic, cultural, and social state that White America has put it, integration offers the most promise to the most people, both black and white.

Unfortunately enough, While equality in integration has been , the rhetorical current in this country. inequality in separation has been the actual current. Black America has been effectively iso­lated and forced to develop social­ly, culturally, economically, and environmentally subordinate to White America. Now Blacks see the near-monopoly of control Whites have on resources, their availability, money, and political power·: Separation has become a way of allowing black participa-tion on a controlled basis, a basis permitting survival, and very little

chance to catch up. They will need more than their white counter­parts, but why not? They are starting with so much less.

Once established economically, Blacks see themselves effectually moving into another area or vital concern-housing.

Classic Argument

One White student came up with the classical question/argu­ment: "I live in a community at home where there are Whites and and Blacks living next door to each other, and the Blacks are the ones whose homes are run down. Both of them rent. Why is it the Black homes that are rundown?" Someone mentioned that in an identical situation-Blacks and Whites renting in an integrated neighborhood-the reverse was true. Nevertheless, it is true (take a ride downtown) that Black neighborhoods are often poorly kept. Why? "They don't care." "The landlord who is renting the house is White. They do not care often because the landlord who is renting the house is White and he does not care." The main problem is that many of the Blacks do not own their homes-the solution is ownership.

There are two problems with renting. The houses are often rented out in a run-down condition to begin with. Too many of the big city landlords are large prop­erty owners. Their main interest is in speculative buying-buying land and housing units on the edge of industrial and commercial zones in anticipation of the expan­sion of these zones, or just to sell to a buyer at a later date, at 150 percent plus the original value. They are not interested in the tenants because rental becomes secondary. Rental is important only to pay for taxes and some very minimal upkeep. Tenants find that when they themselves make improvements, the land­lords respond by hiking the rent. This mood of disrespect on the part of the landlord is paid back with a rundown house.

Rented low-income h 0 u sin g handled by the goverment is not the complete answer to slum land­lords. Many Blacks want owner­ship. A few are able to eventually buy homes. An increasing !lum­ber are buying apartments on a co-operative basis.

"The ghetto-man doesn't own his home. It's not his property. He's overcharged. The property is rundown. Let him own it, such as in a co-operative. He'll take pride in it."

If a sincere effort is to make in this area, it should probably be less in massive low cost housing­although more is absolutely neces­sary-and more in government subsidized long-term, low-interest rate mortgages and home building loans.

Blacks are doing things for themselves and are starting to get places. Still not all the effort has to be theirs. There is one major obstacle, whether it is complete psychological and physical inte­gration, that lets Blacks live and function, as they should in Ameri­ca. The obstacle is White preju­dice and White racism. One White student asked if the United States could not keep the governmental control essentially the same and change the prejudice instead. But White voters in America give an image that is not too promising. "If you go through the voting pro­cess there will be more time wasted, more dissent, and more violence." Let the laws come now, the loving can come later.

One promising note is the opti­mism Blacks have for upcoming generations.

"Is there any way to change structures in the U.S. to move us away from prejudice?"

"No. This generation is going to do it [move away from racism]."

"As soon as we can get some of these old men out of Congress something can be done. The younger generation is much bet­ter."

Future Leaders

One White student, a coed from Georgetown, was not so sure: "These people at GU are our fu­ture government leaders! An aw­ful lot of them aren't too open­minded. I don't share your opti­mism."

The same student was talking to a Black photographer after the Chicago convention about a Black man she saw getting beaten by the police. It shocked her to see it happen. But the photographer simply replied, "It happens every day."

A Black student added, "When police like the Chicago police get a billy club in their hand, they want to hit the nearest person that is the color of that club ... I don't think the billy club goes either way."

The prejudice is there. It has to change. Education for the White and personal contact between Blacks and Whites is the most effective way to end it. Time has proven to change much less than originally thought. Welfare is con­sidered by many to be self-defeat­ing. Much of urban renewal has proven disasterous. City schools have failed horribly. More and more criticism is leveled at the police, yet low salaries - are a t­tracting mostly only men unquali­fied for the job. Race relations in this country are bad and in a state of flux-able to go either way. Old ideas and old prejudices still hold sway and if continued could swing us into a race war. Still, separation is not the an­swer.

Hoya Swimmers Shear Shepherd

Captain Steve Stageberg (in dark) doesn't appear too happy over the track situation.

Georgetown's varsity and fresh­man swimmers stroked to an easy 54-39 victory over Shepherd Col­lege of Virginia last Friday on their way to making this season the best for the Hoyas in two years. The team's earlier victories included Towson State of Mary­land and Randolph-Macon of Vir­ginia. With respect to the two remaining meets, both in the Dis­trict, co-captains Jim Brierly and Bob Elster are confident of over­powering Howard while chances of defeating American University'S scholarship selection are seen as rather slim. Nevertheless, this would give the youthful squad a 4-9 record, or two more wins than it achieved last year.

Benedek Demanding MoreCoaching Power

Freshman swimmers, although initially absent from varsity com­petition eventually came through to provide considerable support. Outstanding frosh included Dave Donovan in the 200 individual medley (2:20.1), Mark HeIfers in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle, Craig Mole in the breaststroke, Bob Lauter and Ed McCarthy in the 200 yard freestyle, and Geoff Bernard, who has consistently been on top in the diving. In addi­tion sophomore Bill Giesen has turned in standout performances

Benedek believes that if a scholarship athlete won't run for his coach, then "he doesn't deserve his scholarship." He as­serted, "If in the past we had had this policy (of revoking scholar­ships), we'd have no trouble."

The rumored threat of a cut­back of track funds rankled him. "Georgetown is trying to deny $80,000 to a sport that almost put five men in the Olympics?" He stated that track represents the school on a national level.

"What would happen if all col­leges followed the same policy?" he asked, jabbing his right index finger for emphasis.

Captain Steve Stageberg viewed the conceivable track cut-back as regrettable, but inevitable just the same.

He said, "I'd be disappointed, since I've got a vested interest in track." Stageberg admitted that "track is taking a lot of money and the school's in financial straits." But he was against a complete deemphasis of track. Stageberg declared, "I wouldn't cut the heart and soul out of it by saying 'no scholarships'." He added, "I'm sure that the Admin­istration will make the decision which is best for the school."

the Childe Harold 1610 20th St., N.W. 332-7232

As for the rest of the season, Stageberg believes that with the indoor season practically over and with the lack of qualifying times anyway, the team should scrap the IC4A's and concentrate on the next outdoor season.

With the advent of strong high­school trained frosh in varsity competition for the first time this season, the team has high hopes of smashing all school records by the end of its schedule. Still rath­er weak, however, and open to tryouts for next year, are spots in distance and butterfly, both long­standing areas of deficiency.

Although it has seen a varied and troubled history, Georgetown varsity swimming has come a long way, with love of the sport help­ing to overcome such difficulties as having to journey to American U. for daily workouts, and the ne­cessity of competing against schol­a r s hip squads. Coach John Hengstler has expressed deep satisfaction with the rapid and continual development of the team's potential.

Sporty Hoyette 'Analyzes' Georgetown-BC Encounter Vnd@r Th@ Tabl@

The following stream of con­sciousness "account" of the Boston College-Georgetown game is writ­ten by a Hoyette who naturally assumes the female point of view. Any connection with the actual play on the court appears to be purely coincidental.

by Cathy Porreco February 18, 1969, and you were

there. Mitling around the lobby of McDonough Gym. On the top row of the bleachers. Under the No Smoking sign. In the third row, animal section. Standing on the balcony with a tuba. "They're lookin' good." But why are YOU there?

"To sober up." A shy young man in tomato­

colored pants. "Wha'd ya mean, why? I'm a Hoyal What are you, some kind of a nut?"

"Wanna see how they do with­out Adrion."

"I wouldn't miss this game." Two cheerleaders: ". . . and

they will win, of course." The band plays a fair rendition of "The Stripper." Appropriate? "Perfect." "Why were Favorite's pants split up the side?" "How do I know ... " There in the top row, the guy and the girl in the green. "Either watch the game or get going."

The Game. The refs move around with those silver mouth extenSions, blowing them i.ndis­criminately.

A kind one: "The cheerleaders certainly leave something to be desired."

"They are still sick with the Hong Kong Flu."

by Pat Quinn

Basketball connoisseurs like to call their game "a war in sneakers," and last Saturday's confrontation between George­town and George Washington, appropriately staged at Fort Meyer's dingy gym, didn't do any damage to the metaphor. It was as if Ethiopia went to war again with Italy, and the Hoyas convincingly played the part of the former. George­town's court performance was enough to put Coach Jack Magee in the company of General Custer.

Like all the other Hoya loyalists, poor Magee had to sit and watch Bob Tallent quench his lusty thirst for Georgetown blood. GW's relentless shower of two-point missiles made the game move along at the pace of a glacier. It was a comic afternoon and George Washington had all the fun.

Another, suave and sunburned (sunlamp treatment vic tim): ""Why, 1 am here to see the game . . . it's the thing to do, you know."

"To watch our guys put B.C. to shame."

From the spirited animal sec­tion: " ... to see us get slaugh­tered."

"Come on Zig, get hot babyl" B.C. scores. Screams. Weber's shot goes in. Screams. B.C. takes a foul shot . . . a simultaneous wail from the animal section. Sud­denly you see your shoe under the bleacher. And the score is 33-all.

Half Time. What are YOU up to . . . as you meander to the Ladies Room to "freshen up?" ... while you force polite conversa­tion with the creep next to you? ... as you deliberately bump into so-and-so? Why are you two leav­ing?" ... fresh air ... " But some of you sit in anticipation of the second half. "I would say there is about 70 percent total involve­ment here."

Game resumes. "These benches kill me." Then, "No goal." The animal section goes wild. "Why don't the ref read the rule book?" Magee gestures. You sit down again. Zero seconds and you are still there because the score is 61-61. Standing ...

But not all the shots were limited to the two 20 minute playing halves. In fact, most of the day's excitement was pro­vided during the halftime intermission when the Georgetown cheerleaders' advance warning system failed and some GW commandos absconded with the prized Hoya drum. Bent on retrieving this sacred emblem of the Blue and Gray, General Pierce ("Give 'em hell") O'Donnell led the Hoya version of the Charge of the Light Brigade toward the Colonial cheer­ing section or, if you prefer, into the valley of death.

Alas, O'Donnell was one of the first to fall, looking much as he did chasing quarterbacks last fall. Nevertheless, the second wave of Hoyas, well schooled in the rough and tumble ways of the Animal Section, broke through and retrieved the drum. As it turned ,out, the drum was about all George Washington left its vanquished foe.

JACK MAGEE

Game resumes. Some don't even return to seats. Two of you stand trying to attract attention but you don't get it. "Let's go Hoyasl" B.C. scores. Three lumber jackets can be heard shouting obscenities. The drum gets louder, trying to drown you out. Big Coach Magee jumps up, arms going everywhere. It's close. So far, now many of you have added to the collection under the bleachers?

Time Out Georgetown. While Magee and his men attend to business, you are provided with entertainment. The girls hit the court. You smile sickly and join in. "But 1 think they're good ... " They smile so sweetly. Buzzer.

Hoya Lacrosse Club Wants Varsity Label

Lacrosse has been at the Hilltop for eight years. However, it was only during the 1968 season that the sport came into its own on campus. Last season the la­crosse club boasted a very re­spectable record, matching 6 wins against 2 losses. This year George­town's stickmen face-off with an extended 11 game schedule. Pre­viously, the limited number of members has impeded the team's success. However, this year the team boasts a roster of 35 mem­bers. Since the team lost only two members from last year's squad and many freshmen have joined, the prospects for the upcoming season look extremely bright.

The most important challenge facing lacrosse at Georgetown to­day is not the impending competi­tion, but its quest for varsity status. The team's co-captains, Charles Blazek and Bill Guilfoyle, have conferred with Colonel Rob­ert Sigholtz, director of athletics, who was responsive to the idea. The Rev. Royden B. Davis, chair­man of the Athletic Board, is also in favor of the move. Alumni sup­port has been spearheaded by Leo H. McCormack, an alumnus on the board.

The Washington-Maryland area is one of the strongholds of la­Crosse in the country. Lacrosse is presently spreading throughout the country at a phenomenal rate, and Georgetown University has every ingredient necessary for ex­cellence.

Overtime. "Get that ball!" "Go Hoyasl" "We want two pointsl" Then, "It looks bad . . ."

And what are YOU doing in the last two minutes?

"Just leaving early." "Well, it's pretty obvious what's "

"It gets too crowded if you stick around till . . ."

But you were the minority and noticed primarily by the people you climbed over. You didn't notice them, but they . . .

"Deserters." "I can't stand people who leave

" "There go the-... " BUzzer. A few of you note the

score. "It's 72-66." "It was a good game, but ... " "The guys played a good game. "We got cheated out of four

seconds." "Considering we didn't have

Adrian ... " "I really feel bad for the guys,"

you say, shaking your head and smiling.

One minute later. What about the team and Coach Magee? "Gee, I wonder What's happening with the team and Coach Magee?" How do they feel now? "I wonder how they feel now." But some of you aren't so deeply concerned, are you?

"To be truthful, the minute that buzzer sounds, it's over."

"Hey, what was the score?" "Does it matter?"

The Georgetown season has now been reduced to a fight for survival. The Hoyas just hope to salvage what they can from an up and down campaign, something to which they have become well addicted. The only remaining goal for this year's team is the rather inglorious aim to finish above .500.

The Georgetown students' support of the University's basketball representatives has been, like the team's record, mediocre. Hoya sports fans have never been known to defy that universal rule of athletics: "Everybody loves a winner." No one militates more against this "only support a winner" mentality than Jack Magee who vigorously upholds the tra­dition that the stUdent body should support its team through thick and thin. It is to Georgetown's embarrassment that more don't agree with Magee.

But whatever one thinks of Magee and his philosophy, the Hoya head coach has at least one man in his corner­Bob Cousy. The retiring Boston College head coach had many fine words to say about Magee, his former assistant, during BC's recent trip here. So it is with little wonder that Magee has been linked with the Boston College head coaching vacancy.

According to reliable sources, Magee never applied for the BC position after Cousy announced his retirement earlier this year. But he was specifically recommended for the job and now is definitely in the running for the position. Magee recently went to Boston College for an interview.

BC originally considered ten coaching candidates for the sought-after post, but the field has now been substantially reduced. The Boston College Athletic Council still has the final decision in the matter, but it is known that Magee re­mains as one of the contenders for their divine blessing.

Of course, Magee is mum concerning his future plans and labels the talk "pure speculation". He considers any dis­cussion of the situation completely out of bounds. All Magee will say is, "I'm happy here at Georgetown." But he adds, "Every man has a right to better his position." Without a doubt, the BC coaching offer is attractive from a financial as well as prestige standpoint.

Georgetown has for some time offered Magee an extension (believed to be one year) of his three year contract which expires this spring. Magee has not yet signed it. Everybody will probably know more after the basketball season con­cludes this Saturday.

TABLE SCRAPS ... The senior class is presenting a plaque to Hoya basketball captain Jim Supple during halftime of the Maryland game here this Saturday. Supple has started every game in his career at Georgetown since the second con­test of his sophomore year. He may also receive some pro basketball offers. Also of note, Supple had the distinction of being the first Hoya captain to forget Coach Jack Magee's birthday.

An invitation has been extended to Georgetown by Bruce Corrie, head coach of the Duke Univer­sity lacrosse team, to attend a meeting for the establishment of a lacrosse conference. Georgetown will attend, but it will be severely handicapped by its non-varsity status since many varsity teams refUse to play clubs.

Georgetown's Ed McNamera (33) and Jerry Pyles (11) look allergic to the ball in the George Wa.shington game.

The Student Athletic Commission is sponsoring a ski-in this Saturday. Buses will leave from McDonough Gym at 8 a.m. Saturday for Charnita in Pennsylvania and will re­turn that evening at 7:30. The bus ride is free and the only charge is a $5.75 lift fee. Lessons will be available at Char­nita free of charge.

Tallented GW Prevails In Mismatched Replay

by M 0 Finnerty Georgetown traveled to Fort

Meyer on Washington's Birthday, seeking revenge for an early sea­son overtime loss to the Colonials. They came home with deflated egos and a broken drum, as the Hoyas were crushed 112-74.

How can such a startling re­versal of form be explained? The answer is not so simple, especially when discussing the Hoyas. De­cember found Georgetown unde­feated, healthy, and eager to be number one in D.C. They met the Colonials in McDonough Gym, battled them evenly off the boards, and held the notorious Tallent brothers under 40 points. Last Saturday, the Hoyas were out­rebounded 72 to 29, allowed the Tallents to run wild, and in fact were literally blown out of the state of Virginia.

Georgetown was never in the ball game from opening tap to final buzzer. With Bob and Mike Tallent hitting well from the out­side, George Washington raced to a 38-20 lead with slightly less than five minutes to go in the first half. Combining a full court press with some good hustle, the Hoyas man­aged to close the gap to 40-31. However, those amazing Tallents both hit jumpers in the closing minutes to give the Colonials a 44-31 advantage at intermission.

The halftime intermission, while providing excitement for the spec­tators (George Washington stole Georgetown's drum), had no no­ticeable effect on the Hoyas. The Colonials' devastating fast break, sparked by the scoring and assists of the Tallent brothers, provided George Washington with their final decisive margin of victory as they rolled on and on during

the second half. George Washington played an

inspired game led by their out­standing guard and captain, Bob Tallent. The 26th point of his 31 point total broke the Colonial's single season scoring record. Mike Tallent, a solid player in his own

right whose performance is often overshadowed by his older brother, contributed 23 points to the win.

Two bright spots in an other­wise bleak afternoon for the Hoyas were Jim Supple and Jerry Pyles, tossing in 25 and 14 points, respectively.

Football Future Looks Promising

by Russ Gaspar The University Athletic Board

will probably take action soon on the proposed extension of next year's football schedule, according to its chairman, the Rev. Royden B. Davis, S.J. The Board, which acts in an advisory function, will then submit its recommendations to Dr. Philip A. Tripp, vice presi­dent for student development.

Theoretically, the final decision could rest with Dr. Tripp, but in actuality the proposal will, in all likelihood, be referred to the Uni­versity Senate and the University Board of Directors for approval. The present five-game limit and the ban on early return was due to the Senate's original decision when Georgetown resumed the football program several years ago.

The increased cost of a length­ened season is still the major point of discussion, and the financial re­port now being prepared by the athletic department should have a lot to do with the Athletic Board's suggestions. Fr. Davis felt that the aim of the report would

be to estimate what the cost would be if the number of games were increased, and if the higher costs could be offset sufficiently by playing more home games.

Last year's deficit in the foot­ball budget did not seem serious to Fr. Davis, and he felt that the football program at Georgetown was definitely beneficial in spite of its financial loss. "I think if any loss could be termed good," he said, "it was a good loss from what we gained from it."

The track situation, which has rapidly taken on the qualities of a rug-beating session, remains un­changed and unresolved. The sides in the affair are as polarized in conviction as ever. The dead air is clear enough for rumors of pos­sible action to fly about. The cur­rent one is of a probable cut­back in funds for varsity track, resulting in less scholarships and an inevitable de-emphasis of track.

The Rev. Royden B. Davis, S.J., chairman of the University A thletic Board, and also chairman of the recently publicized ad hoc committee on athletics termed the recent HOYA article on it "in­accurate," because he has not made public the recommendations which the committee will make to the University's Board of Direc­tors. The purpose of the commit­tee, he stated, was "to look at the whole varsity program, not

700 Sleepy Onlookers Watch Hoyos Stumble Past Anselm's

Student Athletic Commission President Pierce O'Donnell was quite sure that there was no need to alter that attitude. "It's really no big thing," he commented about the proposal. His outlook on the possibility of approval was termed "cautiously optimistic," and two recent occurrences have served to strengthen his hopes. The alumni associations board of governors, following the decision of their athletic advisory commit­tee, gave their support to the SAC request. "This added frosting to the cake on the alumni situation," O'Donnell stated. As well, St. Peter's has proposed an all ex­pense paid game in Convention Hall in Atlantic City, Nov. 21. This would be a sixth game on next season's card, and the fact that it would not necessitate any additional cost gives added weight to the stUdent position.

merely at track." Fr. Davis was not in a pOSition

to make known his recommenda­tions, but agreed with the HOYA article that conceivably tracks' share of the athletic budget might be decreased in order to increase the budgets of other sports. He cited such sports as football, basketball and lacrosse which could benefit greatly from in­creased funds.

"When you have $400,000," he said, "it would be reasonable to ask why you shOUld have $80,000 in one sport." Track commands that much. And since every area of the University is being ex­amined budgetarily, Fr. Davis felt it important "to ask serious ques­tions whether monies allocated are being used well in those areas." He stressed that the committee's function had nothing to do with the track difficulties, which have made an essentially dead issue of the indoor season. "That would be a poor reason for cutting back in any sport," he said.

Meanwhile Coach Steve Benedek remained as emotionally involved as a coach with only part of a team can be.

by Tim Finan Georgetown, breaking a three­

game loss skein, struggled past St. Anselm's College, 57-56, last Thursday at McDonough Gym.

Suffering a letdown after three big games in one week, it took the play of three reserves-Bob Han­nan, Mike Laska, and Jerry Pyles -to save the day for Hoya back­ers. The game was taken so much for granted by the Hoyas that only 700 fans showed up to watch. The visitors from Manchester, New Hampshire, must have had a bitter taste of Georgetown basketball. The home fans forgot who they were pulling for. Many irate Hoyas booed when the home boys stalled in the late stages.

St. Anselm's zone defense func­tioned well, and the Hawks domi­nated the backboards. Charlie Adrion, out for the season with a knee injury, was sorely missed by Georgetown. Coach Jack Magee was forced to go with a small mobile lineup and employed a full court defensive press. The Hoyas lacked their usual aggressiveness and appeared sluggish on defense. Trailing by as many as nine points, the Hoyas took their first lead 35-34 midway in the second half.

The lead changed until the final buzzer, and even that was not de­cisive as St. Anselm's put the ball in play after time on the clock had expired. Also working against the Hoyas were a number of ques-

tionable calls by the referee in the last minute.

Except for the play of Bob Han­nan and super-sub Jerry Pyles, the game typified the Hoyas' per­formance throughout the season. It was the tenth game for George­town that has been decided by less than five points.

After the game, Coach Jack Magee was less than pleased with his team's performance. In the locker room, he barked "Nice game, Hannan. The rest of you get out of here." No team ever dressed faster. Magee was also disturbed at the poor turnout for the contest.

"I'm a little more confident than I was last week," O'Donnell said, and added that he thought the Athletic Board situation look­ed "pretty good." If the proposal passes, the next step seemed to him to be to "glean some faculty support" to add to the student and alumni backing.

Georgetown saw its best halftime show in years as the Hoyas joined the GW cheering section in seareh of a lost drum. Unfortunately for Georgetown. the retrieved drum was the only thing the Hoyas won.
