Sound & Here to

A new literary magazine. Sound: and Fury, appeared on campus j lust year. It was the first time that sui'h a venture had finan­cial success m the College.

There was some question as to its literary quality, but consid­ering that it was a new venture, the results were laudable.

The next issue will come out in the middle of April and the bill of fare seems very appetizing. There will be a oicture on the! Dramsoc show. "Lot's Stay Here." written by Paul Kirschner. with «nustc by Alex Zanolii. Two non-tiction articles of student interest will also be included. Cartoons. as usuaS. will be by Sid Wissner of «Pic."

Those who criticized the last issue are hereby invited to con­tribute to this next one.

For the first time in two years; there is an outlet for the creative' talent litre at the College. !

If you write short stories.; poetry, or have constructive •"-iticisms to offer, send them to :..ilph Haller. editor. Sound and i-'ury. Box 90.

Professor Buckvar expressed the desire to see progres-she programs adopted despite the international situation mdmofcilization. OP agrees wholeheartedly, and for Council teatisfy that desire they need only to GET THINGiS DONE!

Prplessor Lowe gave Council an opportunity to make its wice more powerful than at anytime in the history of the CWlege. OP hopes that the Exec Committee will start •ork on his proposal immediately as evidence that it wants to GET THINGS DONE!

OP hopes that in future editorials it will be able to com-•eotoa things that have been done. OP will not be reluctant to comnent on things left undone. As usual the opening •wfe of the speakers have lain the groundwork, for a good senester. Council is invited to break the chain of repetition aalGET THINGS DONE.

difficult task in finding a job. Industry has voiced a reluc-UMe to hire our graduate. The reason offered & that City God is always on the lookout for a better position and this I nafcs fur an unstable employee. This ambition seems to be j ta asset rather than a liability.

While alibis after losses are not to be taken seriously, we are forced to say that the 63-61 loss io Fordham can be explained by two important facts: the St. Nicks stopped driving in the sec­ond half and just as important. Ihe Rams were hotter in this Came than in any contest to date. Kven though the effects of the road trip showed as the game wore on, the class of the Beavers would have been enough to win had not the refs closed their eyes when Fordham committed defen­sive fouls in the pivot area. The unmerciful beating Ed Warner leceived under the boards in the closing minutes went unnoticed (>v the boys with the whistles.

In the first half, Ed Soman put <n one of the most spectacular shooting exhibitions we have ever seen. He took 10 shots fromi the field and made 7.

In fact there wasn't any opponent.

The defending champion label is a lough one to shake or. ignore. There are times when Nat Hobnan would like to forgtft about i t especially alter each of the six defeats suffered by tlw Lavender this season. But he can't and nnlher can the NIT selection committee. Besides, other excuses are easily available' for placing the Beavers in tbm tourney. They have defeated-Brigham Young and Holy Cross (the latter at their Bostoa Garden bail'wick. Four defeats came when key hands were crippled and, at that, they were to good dubs and by rathsr narrow margins. Oklahoma has gained much prestige by play­ing their A. It M. neighbors even and the Aggies are rated thud in the nation in the latest Associated Press fiasco. Arisona has proved its worth and no apologies are needed foe St. John's. Tst it is sale to assume that a healthy crew of battling Beavan would have stood 14-2 today (there can be no aHbying the Mis­souri and Fordham losses). The obvious answer to this state­ment is that might-have-beens don't count, but. then seain. they do when you're in the position of a defending champ.

I think Reichler is safe in his prediction, although no Met writer has put his pick on the line yet, one way or another. No, not even Abu Ben Friedlander.

Chatter Nat Hofanaa said, after the Fordham game, he didn't sse

why the defending champ should be invited bade to a tourna­ment if their current record didn't rate it. But. the Old Celhc wasn't counting his own Beavers oat with the statement. H» posatod out ttat one year's champs may graduate its stars and return a new squad th* following c a m p a i g n . . . Four MetropoH-tan candidates for NTT honors is net aa impossibility. Aloag with St. John's. LIU and City, Manhattan's derby is defimtdy in the ring after their triumph over previously considered NYU. A good showing by the Kelly Greens against CCNY would help their cause, but the Beavers have troubles enough of their owa and win be out to grab this one a* they will every other gams left on the schedule . . . In the field of pessonal combat, tin College may have two more heroes to root for in big time n* tional competilkm. Wrestler Jerry Steinberg will go to the Na­tionals u d should win. If Jerry can avoid the Army or maintaia top condition with Undo Sam it is not inconceivable that City will have two wresttors on the American Olympic team next year. If Hank Wittenberg. Olympic light-heavy champ and fer-mer Lavender grappler. moves up to the heavyweight slot Steinberg will enter the trials as a light-heavy. Also. Co-captsis Fred Watts, undefeated Lavender boxer, should go to the Na­tionals. The stocky senioe has the ability and tremendous punefc to win if he is "up" for the
