Groups Seek Consideration Of Laymen For Presidency
While the ROTC faculty has remained silent on a proposed change in the department's role, Cadet Col. John Hoffman has said that there are "some valid arguments" for the change.
ROTC Brass Mum On Course Change
Military instructors on campus are reacting cautiously and silently to last week's School of Foreign Servlce Academic Committee report that called for suspension of academic credit for ROTC courses until the curriculum is revamped. Student leaders in the ROTC program, however, have gone on record with at least qualified support for the committee aims and course improvement.
which offered comments en the military science program in general, and its position as an accredited course in particular. The report took special note of how an ROTC cadet is graded on "attitude", attendance at evening lectures, and Tuesday morning drill sessions in addition to classroom work.
The committee expressed the belief that the program, as it currently operates, is not directed

by Norm Roger Efforts to convince the Univer
sitv Board of Directors to remove its- injunctions against consideration of a non-Jesuit f<.'r Georgetown's presidency moved into high gear this week. Faculty members are being asked to express their opinions on the matter and a supposed faculty-student coalition is actively campaigning for a search widened to include qualified laymen.
The Board of Directors has limited the presidential search committee to consideration of members of the Society of .Jesus. However, action is being taken to change that position by both faculty members on the search committee and the faculty-student coalition.
Several members of the College Student Council have formed the coalition, However, they would not say which faculty members have joined them. They did say that their slogan is "We want a good president, not a good Jesuit."
The faculty members on the search committee, not associated with the supposed coalition, will ask the Directors to reconsider their stand only if the faculty so desires.
In a letter sent out recently, Dr. Valerie B. Earle, president of the University Senate and a member of the search committee, solicited the faculty's opinion on expanding the search to include non-Jesuits.
Dr Earle said, "All of us are concerned to get a good president,
and the three faculty members on the committee decided to find out what the faculty thought." In her letter she wrote, "From the outset of the search, the faculty members of the committee have expressed the opinion that the University's need for an able President is too great at this time for the search to be limited. This was in accord with the view expressed in letters sent to me and other members of the Committee over the summer."
Dr. Earle included a ballot on the last page of the letter on which the faculty were to express their feelings on considering both laymen and Jesuits for the role.
This is the first time in 179 years that the president is to be selected by a search committee and not the Jesuit Provincial of Maryland or the Board of Directors. The committee, composed of faculty members, directors, an administrator, and an alumnus, is supposed to evaluate candidates in light of the University's specific needs and their apparent abilities to fulfill them.
In her letter, Dr. Earle pointed out, however, that, "Having now come to a winnowing of the list of candidates, it is clear that the number of available candidates is small. Accordingly we asked on Oct. 17 that the search be widened to include laymen. It was the consensus of the Faculty members of the Search Committee that we wotdd hctppily choose a Jesuit who could hold his oum in such competition, but withold the
Professof military science Colonel Ralph E. Kuzell, has made no comment, but Major Francis McGourty has acted as his spokesman. He said the Colonel "hasn't finished considering the committee's report, and therefore does not wish to make any statements or answer any questions at this time."
.John T. Hoffman (ColI. '69), cadet colonel and battalion commander, partially agrees with the academic committee and says "they do have some valid arguments. Courses should be improved."
GU Medical School Faculty Reject Plan For Separation
Hoffman sharply dis a g r e e s, however, with the committee's statement that the mil ita r y science department is more than a training program for junior officers.
"The object of the military science program is to train military officers," he said. "This is its sole purpose and goal. It is the reason the program was instituted."
Commenting on the merit/demerit system and the allied use of "attitude" scales of grading which comprise nearly one-third of a cadet's grade, Hoffman ad-
, mitted a change was being considered. He said change "is within the realm of possibility pending
. alternate solutions. There is an air of revision; we are considering change."
Hoffman refused to alter his stand that mandatory attendance at drill and lectures should con-
o tinue to be enforced. He said such requirements represent definite bases for academic credit and
. likened them to mandatory attendance at language labs.
The committee, under the direc, tion of chairman Jim Scott (SFS
'69) met with Col. Kuzell last Tuesday to present the report
by Joe Madda The separation of the George
town University Medical Center from the corporate structure of the University, a move hailed last year as a possible way out of the sca of red ink engulfing Hilltop operations, has been turned down by a committee of faculty members.
The move, which comes after
more than six months of intensive study by the 40 member group, is a rejection of the idea that the Medical Center can effectively function as a separate entity, according to Dr. John C. Rose, dean of the School of Medicine. After consulting experts in the field of educational administration, comparing Georgetown's operations with those of .Johns Hopkins and
Marquette (along with other institutions), and dividing into several subcommittee study areas, the committee submitted their final report to the Rev. Gerard .J. Campbell, S.J" University president, in June. 'The plan will go to the Board of Directors for final approval or rejection.
The report submitted to Fr. Camnbell concluded that the separation of the Medical School (including the hospital, Dental and Nursing Schools) would not be as beneficial as was thought earlier
] this year. It did, however, recommend certain administrative and
- managerial changes. . ___ -.:s=:"'- When the separation idea first
arose, supporters of the plan noted that such an arrangement would aid the University's badly sagging credit rating, which was strained by the acceptance of heavy loan responsibilities when the Medical Center complex was begun.
The separation of the Medical Center from the University will not be carried out. Faculty members decided that the separation would not solve the budgetary l)roblems of either the center or the University.
The Medical Center currently takes up nearly one-half of the University budget, and many have expressed anxiety that the upward spiralling costs of the Center's expansion would be a hindrance to the progress of the rest of the University community. The faculty committee, however, hns decided otherwise, and reported that there was no overwhelming need for such a change at this time.

But in a letter dated Oct. 29 from the Rev. Edwin A. Quain, the new chairman of the Board of Directors and also chairman of the presidential search committee, the Board reaffirmed its

SFS Committee Set To Discuss F acultyChange
A core faculty for the School of Foreign Service was the main subject of discussion last week as the Executive Committee of the School met in its second session of the academic year.
Three proposals were on the agenda, the first from Dr. Harold J. Heck, chairman of the Department of International Trade and Transportation. His proposal, intended as a working paper outlining detailed steps in the creation of a core faculty, noted the need for changes in the present

faculty alignment and called for new hiring practices in the future.
A second, more general, proposal by the student representatives of the Committee also concerned the development of the new faculty unit.
The third measure, presented by Dr. Henry Briefs, chairman of the Department of Economics, proposed a timetable for discussion of the change.
Dr. Heck's proposal and the one presented by the students concurred on the basic definition of a core faculty. They agreed that the School of Foreign Service should have a separate faculty budget, out of which it would pay the salaries of its insh'uctors. Such an arrangement would serve to fill the core curriculum needs of the School, dominate its executive and curriculum committees, and have the power to recommend promotion, salary increases, and School tenure requirements.
Under the student plan, the executive committee and/or dean would replace the academic departments as the recruiting agency for faculty appointments. Dr. Heck's proposal went further, suggesting criteria which would be met by faculty candidates. He briefly de-

Mata Hari and the 18,632
A couple of weeks ago Miss Kathy Kusner was given a jockey's license in the state of Maryland, and another allmale institution passed into that abyss so discreetly covered by the guise of equal rights. It's not that it makes any difference to the horse, but it could cause trouble in the riders' locker room. Maybe the last stall in the stable could be converted into a place for her to don her silks.
A man can hardly do anything these days where he is not reminded of the influence of the American feminists and the omnipresence of the woman making the most of our democratic society. In today's labor force one in three workers is a woman, their occupations varying widely-the 1960 census recorded 431 geologists and geophysicists and 18,632 bus drivers.
In warmer weather one is likely to see a Good Humor Woman, an occupation which requires driving a truck and selling ice cream to the kids with dimes from their mothers who stayed home. One woman even has a seat on the New York Stock Exchange but does very little trading since at an institution which has 1336 men, there are no rest rooms for the fairer sex. Actually, the working girl is more common in other countries such as Canada where lumberjacks are joined by lumberjills and Finland where 85 percent of the dentists are women. Here in this country we are more sophisticated, with female road crews and lady mailmen.
The unfortunate part of it is that in their constant search for equality, women are actually gaining a psychological ascendency over the men. The stereotype of the woman who has command of and over everything, even outside her home, has finally invaded the most ingenuous facets of our modern age.
Two of this year's biggest screen musicals are stories of great women-Star! and Funny Girl. That's the trend nowadays, what with The Sound of Music) My Fair Lady) The Unsinkable Molly Brown) and even Thoroughly Modern Millie all dealing with that fabulous female who combines the best of both Mata Hari and Mary Poppins.
And women can no longer complain about a man's reading the newspaper at the breakfast table since her own section appears daily. (The Washington Post)s offering, "For and About Women," expands to 40 pages on Sundays.) Even the comic strips are switching from the women like Blondie who have complete control at home, to those making their marks in what previously had been a man's world. Surely no man could hope to match the professional acumen of Brenda Starr or Winnie Winkle nor the homey wisdom of Mary Worth.
Maybe it's a question of conditioning, and the popularity of the television shows like Julia or Here)s Lucy is getting us ready for a woman's world where the Amazon-like Barbarellas will predominate. No longer do we see the Donna Reed housewife whose only worry is getting the housework done before dad gets home; now it's That Girl struggling to make it ori her own.
It isn't that the women hate the men, although this has not always been the case. When Carry Nation began to wield her hatchet in the saloons in 1899 she considered all men to be "nicotine-soaked, beer-besmeare~ whiskey-bloated, red-eyed devils." But then, as her biographer said, she was against alcohol, tobacco, sex, politics, government (national, state, and local), the Masonic Lodge, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, and William Jennings Bryan.
Susan B. Anthony and her suffragettes saw to it that women would get to vote, and since the Nineteenth Amendment we've seen women congressmen, senators, mayors and governors. The one remaining law that still discriminates between the sexes just may be the Michigan statute which declares a man owns all of his wife's clothing.
In fact, the only thing that women have lost in this whole struggle is their seat on the subway, hardly a tough price to pay when you think men even have to share their Right Guard.

Reactions To Election Vary Within Campus Community
by Joanne Peartree Nixon supporters have been
much in evidence this week collecting their bets and crowing over the GOP victory. They have also been reminding their Democratic friends, who were somewhat less than overjoyed with the election results, that there is an ample amount of crow for them to eat.
Georgetown students and faculty took an extremely active role in the 1968 campaign, starting with the New Hampshire primary, continuing through the conventions, and culminating in Tuesday's ballotting. Humphrey supporters and liberals-very much present and t8lkative before the election-have now assumed bit parts with the title roles going to the Republicans.
Mr. John Burgess, assistant dean of the School of Foreign Service and a former member of the Republican National Committee, said he was looking forward to the new administration.
"Nixon, because of his eight years of travel in the Eisenhower administration and his study of the world problems in the eight year period in which he was out of office, will be able to look at things in a better perspectivemore objectively," he said.
Veteran economics professor, Dr. Lev C. Dobriansky, was doubly pleased with Nixon's victory. In addition to the philosophical political gains that he sees in the next administration, Dobriansky found the election economically profitable. He wagered and won over $300 from his Democratic friends.
Dr. Dobriansky antiCipates "the restoration of the foundations of credibility and honesty in disclosing relevant facts to the American people, particularly concerning the Communist threat."
"I'm unhappy, I suppose," said Dr. Bruce Davie, professor of economics, "but I'd rather see the election clearly decided than have it thrown to the House. I have enough faith in the system (what-

ever it is) not to view this as a total disaster. I just don't know what to expect from a Nixon administration."
Dr. Davie is looking to the rebuffed Democratic Party to reform. "Maybe Humphrey and McCarthy together can do it," he said. "It is imperative for the Democratic Party to reform its leadership in Congress. It would be a cool move for the Democrats in the Senate to make Senator Muskie majority leader."
Looking four years ahead to the 1972 preSidential contest, Dr. Davie -holds, "We must not worry about which man will run, but about the process by which we choose him. Necessity for reform in this area is certainly evident."
Mike Burke (ColI. '71), leader of the Humphrey forces on campus, pinned the Democratic defeat on widespread discontent. "The people
felt a need for change but didn't know exactly what type of change they wanted. The assassination of Martin Luther King, the ensuing riots, and the assassination of Bobby Kennedy shook people up."
Will Mr. Nixon be able to bring us together"? Dean Burgess replied, "I'm very hopeful for the new administration. If people like Percy, Rockefeller, and Lindsay are included in the upper echelon of the government, the young people won't feel alienated. Mr. Nixon realizes he is a minority president, and I'm sure he will will have a very open administration and be able to bring all groups into it."
Dr. Dobriansky agrees with Mr. Burgess, saying, "One of Mr. Nixon's main objectives will be to expand the base of the Republican

WHY WE CARRY GiANT There's more than fabric superiority in Gant. In addition, "needled into the warp and woof of every Gant shirt," there's flair, fit and show - three vital inherents that make all the difference when a man wears a Gant.
We chose Gant because they take shirt mak· ing seriously. They're hard to please (like we are) when it comes to fit of .collar, its roll, its profile-how much it shows above the suit collar. They're fastidious about the way the body of the shirt drapes and folds. All must integrate to achieve that viable ingredient which gives comfort and aplomb. In substance, Gant shirts are keyed to the discerning tastes of well groomed men who appreciate quality. These men are our cus· tomers.

Appeals Delay Results In E.C. Frosh Election
The ballots are counted in the Walsh Area Freshman class elections, but the results on the contests are still in doubt.
According to Walsh Area Student Council Secretary Carol Kilhenny (SFS '70), the winners "haven't been selected yet," and the numerous appeals to the election committee will be decided at Sunday's council meeting.
The election problems arose following the disqualifications of three candidates for office last Friday on financial grounds. Matt Ellis and Nelson Smith were removed from the race for the vicepresidency and Jim Taglieri's name was struck from the ballot for the office of class treasurer.
The disqualifications, imposed when the three failed to submit revised reports detailing campaign expenditures, were appealed in writing at a Monday evening meeting. The election committee also expressed its view of the situation. According to Miss Kilhenny, the Sunday gathering, open to all Walsh Area Students, "will be more decisive."
The time honored Turtle
permission for use of the rooms was given following requests made by the Student Peace Union (SPU) and the Philosophy Club. The Philosophy Club request and subsequent publicity as a co-sponsor of last week's student strike proved embarrassing to officials who had previously given the SDS blanket permission to use the organization's name.
Any organization, such as the SDS, which has no official standing as a University-approved student group, may not use University property rent-free, and may quite possibly be denied permission altogether. According to College junior Austin Hughes, Philosophy Club secretary, the invitation arose from a situation last year when the University denied the SDS table space on campus during a "Peace Day". Hughes said that the Philosophy Club does not support SDS's activities and the reports that his organization was backing the Student Strike were fabrications.
The other two offices, that of the president and secretary, were decided without protest. Miss Kilhenny said, "The votes stand as counted, but they will not be seated until after Sunday." Assumming the vote totals are accurate, Mark Sitley will assume the presidency. Brian Kline, who ran unopposed, will fill the other position.

Speaking for the SPU, its moderator, the Rev. Richard T. McSorley, S.J., said he signed the request because he felt it was of value to his organization and to the student body to back the strike. He said most of the members of the SDS-in fact, all the ones he knew-were also members of the SPU.
The action of the election committee concerning the officers of the class of 1972 is the culmination of a campaign marred by charges of illegal practices levelled by supporters of the various candidates. In eliminating the three contenders, the group was exercising their power to enforce the election regulations. If they had so desired, a reprimand or censure could have been imposed on any or all of those involved in the reported irregularities.
In describing the situation, Mis·, Kilhenny emphasized that the affair is by no means settled, noting, "The whole situation is pretty much undecided at the moment."

A Jesuit President-A Contradiction in Terms?
A University newspaper easily falls prey to criticism. If the paper gives vent only to the student viewpoint, the administration will label it one-sided, among other sundry things. If it proffers opinions which also happen to be held by administrators, the students will discount it as an administration sheet on a bed of complacency. A university paper is thus caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, the particular demon being student demonstrants and the deep blue sea changing its color to become the administration's proverbial sea of red tape.
to the very fact that Georgetown's present -
But, as we said in the year's first editorial, even though we are a student publication, we do not present the student viewpoint any more than we latch onto the administration angle or allow only the faculty space in our columns. We simply present what we think is the right view, knowing full well that members of each segment of the University will at times agree with us and at time disagree, to put it mildly.
benefactors are giving to what they think is a Jesuit and of course Catholic university. The selection of a Catholic layman as president would give the unmistakable impression that Georgetown will no longer remain Jesuit. The selection of a non-Catholic, by the same token, would give the impression that Georgetown will itself not be Catholic. Thus a good many donors, especially among alumni, who never thought of Georgetown as anything other than Jesuit and Catholic, would be alienated. We think it safer to cultivate donors who give or will give to Georgetown because of what it has been and is rather than seeking after yet unknown sources who would give because of what Georgetown never has been and is not now.
To say, then as Dr. Valerie Earle has said, that the president is a "figurehead" is to understate things a bit. More precisely, the president is the symbol of the University to those outside it. The "Statement on the Nature of the Contemporary Catholic Uni-

one segment at a time. There are views expounded by students, faculty, and adminisstrators alike which are generally thought to be enlightened, breaking the partisan barriers.

Davis Henderson, a Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador from 1966
For ourselves, we can only say that we do not adopt the popular viewpoint to acquire popular approval any more than we embrace ideas out of favor to purposely incur our audience's disfavor. Simply put, we do not much care on whose side we stand-whether squarely abreast of someone or on his toesin an effort to keep our feet on the ground and out of our mouth.
Thus when we state emphatically that Georgetown's next president should and must be a member of the Society of Jesus, we fully realize that we risk being dismissed as an administration sheet if only because the Board of Directors has taken the same position. We risk additional accusations of being somewhat less than enlightened if only because the prospect of another Jesuit president seems downright dismal to many. But we also know that we risk being right. And that risk is worth all the rest.
To begin with, one of the arguments for a lay president which we have encountered is that a layman could more effectively raise desperately needed funds from sources which do not ordinarily dispense gifts to Jesuit or Catholic institutions. This particular argument, far from being enlightening, blinds us
But Georgetown's Catholic commitment, if at all real, is primarily directed not at outside donors but at those inside its community. To say that Georgetown's president, its living symbol, should and must be a Jesuit is to say that Georgetown should and must remain Jesuit and Catholic. The president is one person within the University who is able to impart tone and direction to all of it. And a priest is particularly able to impart a distinctively Christian direction simply because of his particular character.
Of course, we base this on the assumption that a Catholic university has value in the first place. Needless to say, we believe that it does if only because the Catholic message itself still has some value. We do not think that Catholicism thwarts Georgetown's development. On the contrary, we say that the University must continually develop to meet developing situations-but it cannot develop ex nihilo.
A Jesuit president, then, is not a contradiction in terms. A president's Roman collar is not necessarily the albatross around his neck. And if the Society of Jesus cannot produce a single qualified man, then perhaps education is the one albatross around its own neck.

To the Editor: I attended Carroll Quigley's
lecture in Gaston Hall on Sunday. He was supposed to speak about the upcoming elections and of the merits and drawbacks of the presidential candidates. True to form, he ended up including this topic in a massive critique of the United States government which lasted well over two hours.
Quigley's manner of delivery, which is preciseJy what drew a capacity crowd to Gaston Hall, is declarative and didactic. People go for that; like with Wallace and Hitler and most other demagogues throughout history, Quigley whips the crowds into a near fever by speaking with force and emotion, and by interspersing his

lectures with blatant, u nco mpromising statements. His favorite words are the absolutes: "totally," "only," "never," etc. Take as examples the following utterances from Sunday's Ie c t u r e: "Humphrey, it seems to me, never knows what he's doing"; "Carelessness and disregard on the part of business corporations have led to massive pollution of our water and air, the total destruction of our natural resources, and the general exploitation of the masses of the people"; and, speaking of the U.S. income tax structure: its <Conly purpose is to establish loopholes for corporations." This does, I admit, succeed in making Quigley a controversial figure, capable of attracting more people to Gaston Hall than a dozen Glee Club concerts combined. But does it succeed in accurately illuminating the issues and precisely f-valuating them? Herein lies the first of his major problems. He continually emphasizes the nature of the world as a continuum; he continually cautions against twovalued logic, seeing things as black-or-white; nothing, he tells us, is ever as readily categorized as it seems. And yet the above quota tions are among the most categorical statements one is ever likely to hear from a reasonably sane lecturer!
Finally, Quigley vehemently warns us against involving emo-
tion in politics and world affairs. This is very good advice. But I begin to wonder, then, why he himself doesn't take it; for certainly his statements calling President Johnson a "wicked, wicked man" and "the greatest mass-murderer in history" hardly come from a cool, unemotional head. This certainly gives me reason to greatly distrust his analyses of world and national situations.
Quigley is a thinker, an eminent one; unfortunately, he is also a very contradictory one. It is sad, this aspect, because he indeed has much good to say. On Sunday, he told us: "If you want guidance, go off by yourself, sit down and read the New Testament from front to back in one sitting." He said: "Get emotional satisfaction from three places: from individual people, from nature, and from God-and not from groups, like football games and demonstrations and so forth." He declared: "People are ends in themselves, and not means to ends." These thoughts are beautiful and true, and attest to the acuteness of his observ:>tions about people and self. The sad part is that his observations of the world scene are nowhere near as acute.
But there is good coming from all this. Quigley's seeming obliviousness to his own contradictions has led me to be very wary of the veracity of his statistics and his statements. And thus his good is not to inform. His good is to make one aware that there are problems, even though they may be nothing like Quigley depicts them. He, by his very contradictoriness, fosters critical analysis on the part of his students. Acceptance on the word of authority is dead. And Quigley has killed it.

CHALLENGE To the Editor:
A sign which especially caught my eye at a recent Youth Rally was one which read "Talk with Us-Not at Us." It is a message which I have long believed to be important-even as my own
In fact, I have recently opened such channels of communications through OUr Student Coalition, a program involving students and universities in solving urban problems, already functioning on many campuses. I further propose to establish a Youth Service Agency within the Federal government, which would involve young people actively in the decision-making processes.
No generation is responsible for the world they inherit, but every generation has the opportunity to influence the future by working through our democratic processes for the ideals in which they believe-and never has the opportunity for bringing change been greater than today. I give you a challenge to be a part of the new leadership-I give you the challenge of change.

HOME RULE? To the Editor:
The present Executive Faculty of the School of Foreign Service consists of exactly three Foreign Service teachers plus the Dean, Assistant Dean. and three sturlents. Thus, only eight of the 21 members of the committee owe their primary concern and loyalty to the School. For the other 13 members, the School is a peripheral area, to be contemplated every so often. .
Up until now, all other schools within the University have escaped this colonial domination. This fact recent1y was mentioned in support of student proposals to return home rule to the SFS. Now we find that, at the "suggestion" of Fr. Fitzgerald, the composition of the Executive Faculty Committees of the SLL and GUNS is being changed so that the teachers and students will have less influence over their schools' policies.
We are thrilled to see that the unique identities of other schools are not being allowed to stand in the way of the Georgetown Community Ideal. Let us continue the integrationist politics of joy which already has decimated the so-called School of Foreign Serv-ice.

ELIOT NESS, S.J. To the Editor:
One recent morning, I saw a Jesuit running through the halls of Nevils tearing down posters promoting the student strike on election day. His manner was reminiscent of Eliot Ness confiscating liquor during Prohibition. Perhaps this man will be the next president of Georgetown.

TEHAAN'S To the Editor:
I wish that you would get your facts straight before you publish them.
We did not sell our business because of a business slump. (In fact the year we sold out was our best year.)
Mr. McCooey has not paid us any money. We sold out completely to Georgetown University who sold or subleased to the 1789.
We did not serve cheap food at low prices. We did serve good food at low prices. I am quite sure that the faculty, the alumni and the students will agree with me. We were able to keep our prices low because my brothers and I were working managers. It was only through our low price policy that many students told us that they were able to continue school. Even with our low price policy we were able to pay for our advertisements.
Did you know that Tehaan's was called by many student a home away from some?

QUIGLEY'S WISH To the Editor:
Two Sundays ago, Dr. Quigley gave the students his views on the election. Since that time, his wish that Agnew and Nixon be elected has been fulfilled. The two forward looking candidates, Humphrey and Muskie, were only barely defeated. All we can do now is hope that what the distinguished professor proposed as best for the country will indeed be so.
Others disagreed with Dr.

The decision by the Presidential Search Committee to restrict those under consideration for the presidency of the University to the Jesuit Order seems in keeping with the mode of thought which characterizes the lack of progress in Catholic higher education in this country. I don't mean that Jesuits should be strictly excluded for considera-
Quigley. I wish to commend and to thank the many students who realized that four years is a long time to tread water, and that there was indeed a choice in Mr. Humphrey. These students, the majority of whom were previously McCarthy, Kennedy, and Rockefeller supporters, provided a fine example to me. They are fine examples to all students in this country: to the students who would destroy instead of build, to the students who would rather never do anything.
I wish also to congratulate Mr. Nixon on his victory and to acknowledge all those who worked on his campaign.

Kuzell Hunts For Program Relevant To S.F.S. Stu,dent
(Continued from Page 1) towards the instruction of military science, but rather aims for the production of junior officers for the United States Army. According to Joe White (SFS '69), a member of the delegation which presented the report to Col. Kuzell, "Military science should be taught as a course covering the role of the military through history, its influence on society, and its effects on international relations."
White, himself a former participant in the ROTC program who withdrew because of poor eyesight, does not agree with Hoffman on all points. He said, "Awards for military endeavors
should be military in nature, such as rank advancement, and not academic credit."
Scott joined him in a rejection of the "lab" concept. Regular labs, they said, are scheduled for a particular time, and the student is credited accordingly. The lectures, he noted, are extra-curricular activities highlighted by mandatory attendance and no extra credit for the participating cadet. Scott is himself a "distinguished military student," an ROTC distinction for all-around excellence in the program.
Certain aspects of the program carne under a ttack from the executive officer of the battalion, Cadet Lieutenant-Colonel Jerry Schroeder (ColI. '69) , who said
"Anything non-academic should not receive academic credit." He believes that more student participation should be included in the military science courses themselves. He also said that merits and demerits should not be included in the calculation of a student's grade for his ROTC courses.
Schroeder was quick to note that the academic committee's report was by no means the first cause for discussion on changes in the ROTC program.

Ad Hoc Commision Seek.s Student Views
Scott sees the report as "an official student document" and expressed his hopes that points raised in it will be considered by the other schools. Discussion of the committee's report is on the Nov. 19 agenda of the Foreign Service School Executive Committee.
Both Scott and White emphasized that Col. Kuzell was "extremely receptive. The Colonel thought we had some good points, and, indeed, the Colonel said he was trying to think of ways to make the MS program more relevant to the SFS student."

original position that the new president of the University should be a member of the Society of Jesus.
Dr. Earle said that Georgetown is a Jesuit institution, and that the president is a symbolic "figurehead." The most important position, however, should be filled by the most competent man available, she noted.
While coinciding with the objectives of the faculty members of the search committee, the faculty-student group is an entirely different entity.
An ad hoc committee, which would be responsible for activating a response to the Directors' injunction among the students and the faculty was formed at the Yard's Sunday meeting: They will terminate their efforts with a rally on Harbin Plaza this evening at eight.
The committee, headed by Jim McCanna (ColI. '69), Jerry Meunier (ColI. '70), Jim Clark (ColI. '70), Mike O'Leary (ColI. '71), and Joe Lawson (ColI. '69) will then compile the results of this week's efforts in separate folders and present them to each member of the search committee.

a Jesuit president?" They want to know if a Jesuit would be the best president in such progressive times; they want to know if he would be the best administrator, the best fund raiser, the best man the University can get. And they feel the only way they will be assured of this is if he is selected in open competition with the best, laymen included.
Larry Lapare (Coli. '69), treasurer of the Yard, summarized their position when he asked, "Is being a member of the Society of Jesus the foremost qualification for being a good president at Georgetown?"
Col. Kuzell has promised the group an answer within two weeks.
The Committee members are aware of the problems of the military science department, and White believes that the decision will be made on "a high leveL" He sees benefits fOJ' both the students and the program in proposed improvements. He added that if the program is not substantially upgraded credit should be withdrawn, and that ROTC should then be regarded as nothing more than "a very important extracurricula activity."

Movies: Julie, Tony, And The Kids STAR! Starring Julie Andrews, Daniel Massey, and Ric bar d Crenna. At the Warner Theatre.
Star! is not the cat's pajamas of cinematurgy. In truth it is a rather glamorous a t tern p t t 0
downgrade Gertrude Lawrence. It is a more adult version of The Sound of Music without the kids. Since it was made by the same team that came up with the Trapp Family Guide to Financial Success, there is reason to believe that this will also be a tremendous monetary hit.
Funny Girl was designed to be a vehicle for Barbra Streisand and is succesful as that and nothing else. StaT! was designed to showcase Julie Andrews and to tell a little of the life of Gertrude Lawrence. By the grace of Noel Coward and'Daniel Massey as Mr. Coward the film is more successful than the Barbra Streisand story.
In simple truth, Julie Andrews is one-dimensional as Miss Lawrence. But it is a wonderful dimension and her voice is clear and radiant as she works through the intelligent lyrics of Coward and Porter and Gershwin. She is a joy and has clearly recovered from the disastrous effects of Thoroughly Modern Millie (an adventure story for the pablum set). She has the sense to be herself and to avoid an impersonation of the incomparaole Miss Lawrence. She is so successful that there are actually times when the innocent viewer can forget that it is Julie up there on the silver screen.
The finest moments and the most enjoyable sequences occur when Daniel Massey (the son of Abraham Lincoln) appears to portray Noel Coward. Mr. Coward is supposedly a very wi tty and talented man. Mr. Massey's depiction of Coward convinces one that this is' true. He is incandescent and intelligent. There can be little doubt that he has a distinguished career facing him. If he handles it with the aplomb of a Noel Coward he cannot fail.
So much for the good parts of the movie. In addition to Miss Andrews and Mr. Massey there is nothing to make this a vital viewing experience. The dialogue is mawkish and poorly constructed ... but then what can one do when there is no plot, no central
• interest, and no clarity? punt? Especial criticism must be
singled out for Michael Kidd who had the gall to stage the musical numbers. He seems to be a selfdestruction kit. For example: Gertrude Lawrence sang Jenny in front of a curtain with absolutely no scenery. Miss Andrews manages to sing Jenny from a swing, a trampoline, a teeterboard, a flaming ring, and in a circus. This grand number is suggestive of staging by Liberace. It is tasteless and vulgar and destroys any sense of euphoria that might have been built up by the film itself. It is a wise decision to run the credits at the conclusion of the
• film. This prevents an irate audience from attributing the blame as .they have already left

Star!: Better than Barbra's, which is much
THE B 0 S TON STRANGLER. Starring Tony Curtis and Henry Fonda. At Loew's Palace.
Tony Curtis can act, an announcement which will come as no small shock to those who have for years witnessed his ascension as a movie star and deterioration as an artist (remember Boeing, Boeing'?). The Boston Strangler will force those who branded Curtis an elderly Frankie Avalon to retract, for his performance sears across the screen with a neurotic perfection which compels us to moment:lrily forget that we are watching Mr. Curtis' portrayal of Albert deSalvo, and not deSalvo himself. The true mastery Curtis reveals in Strangler after keeping his talent a secret for so long comes not in the way he handles dialogue (he doesn't say that much in his crisply correct Boston accent), but in his ability to twist and torture his face in so many ways that one believes that he could have slaughtered 11 women and not recall doing it at all. Curtis accomplishes this without the phony histrionics required for, say, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but by making his eyes, his mouth, the very tautness of his skin attest to the torment deSalvo assuredly endured. It is a pity then that The Boston Strangler is not as good a" its lead player, who is magnificent, since the film as a whole is merely excellent.
The police are made out alternately to be fools who will do anything for a conviction and saviors of the innocent and feebleminded. Too much emphasis is placed on psychiatry and its importance in crime-but wait! Isn't that the work's point? That law officers are neither demons nor divine and that society is shirking its responsibilities to weed out the Lee Harvey Oswalds, Charles Whitmans, and Albert deSalvoes? Admittedly, it looks a little contrived on the screen and occasionally does resemble a cross between Dmgnet and Hitchcock but the message of Strangler is convincing because its theme is so beautifully argued.
Among the elements (aside from Curtis) that whip Strangler into a state of near-perfection,
none is more important than the contribution of director Richard Fleischer. Through much use of the split screen (both to chillingly let plot unfold and to barrage the senses with messages), he casts a modish hue over what could have degenerated into a standard forties-flick but mercifully does not. His camera work is dizzying, his use of symbols usually restrained but still hauntingly effective (e.g., his insistence on playing out the final scenes with deSalvo in pure white). His attempt to find a mood for his work is a success, for unlike all the other recent violence-a-thons (Bonnie and Clyde, No Way to Treat a Lady), one does not sympathize with deSalvo except perhaps as one befriends a wounded animal.
But for all the film's virtues, it is most of all Curtis' tour de force. He is so powerful that he even obscures an actor of the calibre of Henry Fonda, playing the coordinator of the investigation that finally corners deSalvo. He is so brilliant, so surprisingly electric that one is sure Mr. Fonda, for once, doesn't mind being upstaged.
C.I. WARRENDALE. An Alan King Documentary. At Janus II.
Warrendale was a residence center in Ontario for emotionally disturbed adolescents-a center that tried to reach these fringe members of society through love and physical "holding sessions". Warrendale is a lOO-minute documentary of the lives of these children and the center's college-age staff.
To begin with, the children are emotionally disturbed. They are not retarded nor are they insane.
One residence hall, home for a dozen children, is the scene for Warrendale. The producers first hall to get the kids' and the staffers' permission to film such a day-by-day account of their lives. And once this was given, for even more honesty and spontaneity, the cameras and their operators were moved in several weeks before actual filming was to take place in order to let everyone concerned get used to them and to forget their telling presence.
Technically the film is quite well done. According to reports, the original footage added up to slightly over forty hours. The finished product totals slightly less than two, thanks to a very well done job of editing. And a sense of strict coherency dominates both of these. Each scene with each individual action summarily totals toward the ending. Every moment is meaningful in relation to the whole.
The photography isn't spectacular, mainly because it's meant to capture spontaneity rather than carefully timed and worked out characterization. The cameramen had to be ready at all times to capture everything that could possible happen. And their result is a film that takes us into twenty different life worlds.
Warrenda.le: Not insane, nor normal either
In fact, the whole film is beautiful. It is remarkable. It is burning. And. it is heartbreaking. It should not be missed! N. A.

Now that Richard Nixon is a winner (doesn't that sound ridiculous?), people everywhere are discussing how the system could possibly have gone so awry, how a man whom the people of California, of all places, soundly rejected just .six years ago could ascend to ruler of the whole nation, a natlOn presumably not as enlightened as our West Coast counterparts once were.
Now that Dan Hurson's Administration is entering its middle years, always the most difficult, Yardites and less Machiavellian Hoyae are fondly dreaming of what might have been if some other Summer Schooler or whatever had won. Not that Hurson's reign is indictable yet, for his personal demeanor is perpetually reassuring no matter how badly his underlings botch things up. Maybe with another election format we could have avoided Percy Slug, not to mention Gary Puckett and the Union Saps. Maybes are only maybes though and at least they haven't tried to force the 1910 Fruitgum Co. on us yet. Give them time!
Our system just doesn't have any drama, any grandeur, any unpredictability. Everybody knows by the ~iddle of sophomore year who the pretenders to power WIll be. Everybody knows the abilities, personalities, even the eccentricities of the cont~nders. Suspense is thus lacking, no matter who wins, and the chances for a dark horse are made practically nil. Perhaps the answer to the problem is the same answer Georgetown has to every problem-a committee. By taking the decision as to who the "man who ... " would be out of the hands of the College student (a bigoted, surly lot-ask any SDSer), the spirit of our nation's founding fathers would be preserved-guided democracy.
A whole quasi-liturgical ritual could arise out of the committee's deliberations, which could be scheduled for midnight every Shrove Tuesday in the New South Garbage Pit. The members, chosen by that fabulous computer in Mr. Quinn's office which arranges our schedules, would represent a cross-section of the College's constituencY-OE€ member of the Sodality (who is in fact the entire Sodality), a HOYA reporter· (who will necessarily have to interrupt the interview he traditionally has set up that evening with John Carroll), the athlete, an intellectual, a WGTBer, a member of the Y.A.F. (hopefully, in full uniform), a ROTC ian (hopefully, without academic credit), a member of the IRC (with interpreter), Pebbles, a fraternity brother, a GUCAPer (a flaming headdress being optional), a Philodemician (with thesaurus, gavel, and a copy of Robert's Rules of Irrelevancy), the Young Democrats and Young Republicans (sitting in the middle and on the far right respectively), Richard McCooey, and the parliamentarian of the outgoing Yard, regaled in his traditional ceremonial costume, an ascot draped over a GU sweatshirt covering madras pants (tassel loafers non-essential). The candidates would be determined by a file submitted by Dean Klein containing the names of all those College students of high moral character and ability to carry out the duties of the office, the former being written on one index card, the latter being practically the entire Student Directory. The winner would then be awarded one interior decorator, a controlling interest in Seagram's, two platoons of menial servants, and a room in the 1789. His term would last until the publication of the Who's Who list. If he is included, he's made head of the government department. If he is not, he is kicked upstairs to an innocuous position such as University Comptroller.
Of course, the East Campus system is practically the aforementioned already but there is room for change. For one thing, it would be wise to transfer their meetings to the Multi-Lingual Room so those not familiar with "Risk," the game on which their methods are based, can at least have intricate filibusters translated into any of seventy tongues from Serbo-Croatian to Sanskrit to Kellyian. The EC Student Council Office should be moved to a tent on the lawn of the South Vietnamese Embassy, being the only government around that, like the EC, is actively anarchist. The East Campus Heroes Room ought to remove those outmoded pictures of Karl Marx, Dante, Caligula, the Tower of Babel, etc. and put in their place portraits of those who have given their all for our brethren beyond the Main Gate-Larry O'Brien, Joe Lawson, Larry LaPare, etc.
But vitriol is vitriol and concession to accomplishment is something else again. Fortunately for we devotees of vitriol though, neither the Hurson Persons nor Kelly's Krusaders have done much yet that demands being bowed to. When that finally happens, and the prospects aren't too good, we'll turn this space into a Lucretia Borgia recipe book. . . .

Dr. Davie replied, "I'm doubtful. I suspect we're in for less attention to the federal government. We may give up for four years on the federal government as an agent for solving social problems. City and state governments will have to fill the role or we will be forced to look into other avenues of social change. I'm not so sure they are going to work."
Burke shared Dr. Davie's pessimistic view of the incoming administration. "The pressure will be on him to produce results on the war and the cities and he won't have Congress to work with.
"Mr. Nixon is not the type of person to sway public opinion and he is facing a worse credibility gap than Johnson's."

Much speculation has been made on the role of Maryland Governor Spiro Agnew as Vice President. Dean Burgess met Mr. Agnew in Miami at a Nationalities rally and found him to be "very cool under fire and cautious. He will be a good administrator but he does not have the personal attraction of other candidates. His role will be largely handling problems of the cities."
Dr. Davie was somewhat less complimentary, proposing t hat "the official residence of the Vice President be erected at 14th and 'U' Streets and have Spiro move in. It would be quite a learning experience for him."
Proponents of Dr. Heck's plan made it clear that it would not involve the creation of two separate departments within a single subject area, but would rather create a Department of International Studies which would make up the basis for the School of Foreign Service.
Durjng the meeting and afterwards many members expressed fear that the timetable would seriously jeopardize progress towards basic structural change. One student member, while optimistic, pointed out that the problems within the Executive Committee itself revealed the school'S structural quandry.

Dr. Bruce Davie, professor of economics, offered an amendment to Dr. Heck's proposal which divided the question between the general desirability of the core faculty concept and the steps which would be used to implement it. The amendment passed after some discussion.
The timetable proposed by Dr. Briefs advocated curriculum decisions before any further discussions on structure, a move sidetracking structural discussions until early next year. Various members of the Committee indicated that such a schedule would imply an attempt at building a stable structure around a rather fluid curriculum.

Tunney Drops Dempsey In Rematch by Marty Gallagher
(Tke author is the head boxing coach at Georgetown. Gallagher was a pro fighter himself, compiling a 79-11-3 record. He has written. a lengthy article entitled "The Jack Dempsey Story". The HOY A is presenting excerpts of the Dempsey story in a two-part series. Last week Marty's introduction to the story and h~s account of the first Dempsey-Tunney fight were included. In this week's installment, Marty describes the Dempsey-Sharkey bout in 1926 and the famed "long count" Dempsey-Tunney fight in 1927.)
In the 1920's it was not customary for the champion to bind the challenger to a return match in the event that the title changed hands. In fact, at least since John L.'s day, no champion had ever been granted an immediate rematch. And it cannot be said that Dempsey's showing at Philadelphia was such as to warrant an exception to this tradition. However, the new champion shrewdly realized that a return match would draw better than would any other. But it did seem best to give the ex-champ an opportunity to patch up his slightly damaged reputation, and for this purpose he was matched with Boston's John Cucoshay, an ex-sailor of Lithuanian descent, who fought under the name of Jack Sharkey. The bout was scheduled for Yankee Stadium in July, with the understanding that the winner would meet Tunney later in the year.
In 1927, Sharkey, at 25, was probably the most prOmIsmg heavyweight to come along in years. Lightning fast for a heavyweight, he was a good puncher and a great boxer, with the courage and stamina to go with these abilities. Had he possessed the drive of a Dempsey, or the cautious insight of a Tunney, he would probably be remembered as one of very greatest of modern fighters.
But for some reason or other, Sharkey never became the great fighter he might have been. Some of his performances were brilliant, others were downright shoddy. Some people charged his frequent disappointing outings to his family responsibilities, others to an excessive concern for preserving his good looks. On the other hand, Sharkey was quick-tempered and, when stung, had a bad habit of throwing away his superb boxing skill and mixing it with men over whom he held a decisive edge in boxing.
Quick Knockouts John Kieran once summed up
his poor sense of timing by observing "he was cold when he should have been steaming, and frantic when he should have been frigid." In 1927 all this was pretty much in the future. At the time, by virtue of quick knockouts over South
Boston's Jimmie Maloney, and Harry Wills, the perennial challenger, Sharkey was generally considered to be the most serious threat to the new championapart from Dempsey, that is.
Training For this fight, Dempsey put him
self under the capable direction of Leo P. Flynn, veteran manager and trainer. Flynn took the ex-champ into the woods and put him to work, chopping trees, digging holes, refilling them and then digging some more. After some months of this, Dempsey was in as good shape as could be expected of a man of 32 who had spent too many of his best years around the bright lights.
But it wasn't enough; no amount of rope-skipping, no road-work could restore the spring of youth to Dempsey's aging legs. As long as he had two hands, he would be dangerous, but the 'Tiger' of 1918-19 was now only a memory. Had Sharkey been content to out-box the former champion, to fight him at long range, there is little doubt that he could have taken him.
But Sharkey had other plans. Smarting under the fans' evident partiality for Dempsey, he apparently decided that he would beat their idol at his own game. And for most of the fight it looked as though he might get away with it. The early rounds were all Sharkey, and in several he had the exchamp reeling from the fury of his attack. But as long as Sharkey kept boring in, he could not prevent Dempsey from landing at least some of the blows aimed at his midsection-and the Dempsey body attack was not to be taken lightly, even by as young and tough a man as Sharkey. In the fifth and sixth rounds the tide was
clearly turning. Sharkey was showing the effects of Dempsey's persistent body attack, while the exchamp, having taken all that the younger man had to offer, appeared to be getting his second wind.
As the fight entered the seventh round, Sharkey was far ahead on points, and even then he probably could have made it if he had kept his head and reverted to his natural style of fighting. Instead, he gave a perfect example of the petulance and poor judgment that marred his career. More than any other A mer i can heavyweight, Sharkey was given to calling 'foul' at the slightest provocation, though in this respect he couldn't hold a candle to some of the foreign fighters that invaded these shores.
Fatal lUistake
A wild-swinging fighter like Dempsey was certain to land more than his share of low blows, and it is therefore quite likely that, as Sharkey claimed, he was fouled midway through the seventh round. Whether he was or not, Sharkey, apparently rattled by Dempsey's amazing come-back from the pounding he had taken in the early rounds, turned to the referee to protest, and for a moment his guard was down and his eyes off his opponent. This was more than Dempsey could have hoped for, but he was not slow to take advantage of the novel situation. Like a flash, he was across with a deadly left hook, followed by two rights to the chin, and Sharkey was writhing on the canvas, victim of his neglect of one of the cardinal tenets of the ring, the rule that a fighter must protect himself at all times. Dempsey had won his return shot at the title, but his performance was not such as to strike terror into the heart of the new champion.
Tex Rickard scheduled the return match for Soldiers' Field in Chicago. Temporary seats were added to the stadium in order to handle some 160,000 fans. In fact, the paid attendance was only a little over 100,000 and the gate receipts didn't quite reach the $3,-000,000 Rickard had hoped for. At that, the only customers in the $5 seats who were able to follow the proceedings were those who had been foresighted enough to bring along portable radios.
Dempsey had taken the offensive before the fight with an amazing charge that Tunney had been party to a plot to throw the Philadelphia fight to himself had the decision been at all close, which Dempsey readily admitted had not been the case. What the former champ hoped to gain by this had never been clear. Possibly it was an ill-advised attempt to assure a capacity crowd for a grudge fight. Possibly.it was hoped that Tunney could be irritated into fighting
Dempsey's kind of fight. This was certainly the motive
behind another Dempsey statement in which he observed that, although Tunney had won the title by counterpunching, as champion he would be expected to carry the fight, leaving the counterpunching to the challenger. Dempsey might have saved himself the trouble. Tunney wasn't as young, and he
might not have been as strong as Sharkey, but he couldn't be 'had'; he was too smart to fight anybody's fight but Tunney's. Anyway, to anybody who knew Dempsey, the spectacle of the ex-champ fighting a defensive fight was too laughable to be taken seriously.
Attack was the only defense that Dempsey ever knew. If his scorn of defensive skill now put him at a disadvantage against the sharp-shooting Tunney, he had little cause for regret. His two-fisted aggressive style had carried him to the heights, and the boxing game came along with him. The 100,000 fans that flocked to Soldier's Field weren't coming out to see Tunney give another exhibition of his mastery of the art of self-defense.
In the early rounds, the fight threatened to be a repetition of the Philadelphia affair. Dempsey was in much better condition and he had acquired a new respect for Tunney's right, so there was no repetition of the first-round stunner that had given the ex-marine an easy victory. Still, the champion was clearly in command through the first six rounds. And then it happened, the one mis-step, the one little miscalculation that can be fatal to the cleverest boxer when facing a man of Dempsey's rugged power. Midway through the
seventh round the tiring Dempsey gathered all his reserve strength, broke through the champ's defense and sent him crashing to the canvas with a rain of blows to the head.
According to the rules of the Illinois State Boxing Commission, clearly explained and agreed to by both men, the referee was not to begin his knock-down count until the opposing fighter had retired to the farthest neutral corner. But Dempsey's fighting instinct, fortified as it was by his years of combat experience, apparently outweighed the referee's brief instructions. After the knockdown he hovered over the fallen champion, then, on being waved away moved to the nearest corner and finally had to be guided to the proper neutral corner. Only then did the referee return to Tunney and begin his count.
Slow Count It was variously estimated that
all this used up from five to 10 seconds, valuable time for the champion. He was up at the count of nine, and, though he had never been on the canvas before, showed remarkable skill in meeting the novel situation. For the rest of the round he back-pedalled furiously, occasionally stabbing Dempsey with a sharp left when he threatened to close in. Toward the end of the round the leg-weary and desperate Dempsey stopped in his tracks and motioned to the
champ to come in and fight. Tunney could hardly be blamed if he chose to run and fight another round.
It was a cautious Tunney who came out for the eight, but before long, his strength and confidence fully restored, he stopped the overeager challenger with a sharp counter-attack. For the rest of the round the fighting reverted to the familiar pattern, with the champion carrying the round by a fair margin. By now the champion must have feared his title was in some danger, for in the last two rounds he went over to the offensive and belted Dempsey all over the ring.
Now, if ever, the ex-champ had an opportunity to counter-punch but, as suspected, he proved unable to score against Tunney. Probably no other fighter of this generation could have weathered the storm that beat about Dempsey during those last two rounds. His legs long since gone, his strength exhausted by his 7thround flurry, all that was left of the once-great champion was his fighting heart and his amazing ability to take punishment. Bitter- " ly disappointed as he was, the weary and beaten Dempsey must have welcomed the bell that mercifully closed his big-time fighting career.

Villanova, Harvard Supply Tough IC4A Competition

Rugby Team Falls As Virginia Wins On Penalty Kick
by Jim Keane Since its split with the Wash
ington Club, the Georgetown Rugby Club has played well but has enjoyed limited success. The Hoyas lost to the University of Maryland, defeated Lehigh and North Carolina, bowed to George Washington University, and last Saturday dropped a doubleheader to the University of Virginia.
The "A" team nearly brightened up the angry, gray skies with a surprisingly tough effort against the Cavaliers, a team nationally rated last year and still a major east coast power. Their heavier opponents were unable to cross the goal line. The Virginians, however, noted for their kicking ability, tallied twice in the first period for six points with wellaimed free kicks. Randy Payne countered for Georgetown with a 25-yard boot. The score stood at 6 to 3, both teams digging in and preventing further scoring in the initial half. The Hoyas averted a later Virginian threat by downing a kick in the goal area.
The home team booters began the second period in a scoring mood and continued their tough, hustling play. Their efforts bore fruit midway through when Georgetown's Jack Bliss broke clear and raced 30 yards for the only touchdown of the game. Randy Payne booted a two-pointer to give the Hoyas an unbelievable, temporary lead over their favored opponents. Virginia quickly resumed their offensive and took advantage of an eyebrowraising offside call that placed the penalty kick a few yards out and directly in front of the goal post. The boot was a gift, but was still worth the three points that enabled Virginia to eke out a 9 to 8 win.
Captain Mike Crisham was understandably pleased with the Hoyas' efforts against a team they rarely beat. "I think they played well. We outplayed them, but we just didn't get the breaks, reaJJy, he said after the game.
The "B" team, hampered by a disjointed attack and weak passing, absorbed a 17-0 defeat.
much they want it." .Evaluating the competition,
Benedek looks for Harvard and Villanova to provide the sternest opposition. Harvard, undefeated this season, looked very impressive in winning the Heptagonals. The first five runners for the Crimson were all under 26 minutes on the Van Cortlandt Park course, a better showing than the Hoyas had in their meet against Manhattan.
Villanova will also be tough. After their early season loss to Georgetown, the Wildcats have run over all opposition. In addition, they won the Big Five (Villanova, LaSalle, St. Joseph's, Penn., and Temple) Championships. It has been rumored that Olympians Frank Murphy and Martin Liquori will rejoin the team for the IC4A's.
The justification for this is the NCAA ruling that Olympic competitors who were in good standing in June may rejoin their team for post-season events. Commenting upon this, Coach Benedek said, "I don't know what kind of shape they will be in. They've spent the whole pre-Olympic period on speed work. It will be tough to adjust to running five miles. In any event, if you can beat a team, you want to beat them at their best."
Another point of interest for the Hoya fans in the IC4A meet is Steve Stageberg's quest to follow in the footsteps of former Georgetown greats Joe Lynch and Eamon O'Reilly by winning the individual crown. Steve feels his biggest competition will come from Holy Cross's Delong, Harvard's Hardin, Jerry Richey from Pitt, and the Villanova Wildcat's Tom Donnelly, whom Stageberg has already defeated this year. Prior to Saturday's meet, Stageberg was not sure what kind of shape he was in. Having not been pushed all season, Steve was not sure how fast he could go. However, the Manhattan meet gave him a good indication of his ability. As he said, "1 started slowly, just staying with the pack. However, I really felt good, so I took off." This "taking off" resulted in a time less than ten seconds off the course record despite the fact he was not pushed.
Asked about his plans for the meet Monday, "Stag" replied, "Last year I went out with the frontrunners, and I think the pace was too fast. I'm sure it hurt me at the end of the race. This year I'm just going to tag along. I'm going to stay behind the leaders and see how I feel and then I'll decide when to make my move."

ships is the fact that the Hoyas will not be defending the freshman crown they won last year. Due to illnesses and 1I1Juries, Georgtown will only send two or three individual runners.
In summing up the chances of the Hoyas in the IC4A meet, Coach Benedek said, "It should be between Harvard, Villanova, and us. However, the competition is a lot stronger this year. In the past, the winning team has often gotten all its runners in the top ten or fifteen. This year because of the presence of more good individuals, the winning team will probably have to place all its runners in the top twenty. Previously, 26 minutes was a big barrier. Now, there are runners who have broken this or are capable of breaking it. In spite of all this competition, though, if we want it badly enough we can win."

trol. It was again those familiar stars, Montero and Sicre, who led by Pat Quinn the surge. First, Roger Epee made L _________________________ --! a midfield steal and fed Bob Gulett perfectly on the right wing. Gulett centered it into the middle and, after confusion in front of the net, Montero managed to boot a rebound past the frantic GW goal-keeper. "That goal was pure determination" was Coach Mendoza's post-game tribute.
Finally, in the last 30 seconds of the game, Emilio Sicre tallied the winning goal. Junior Prieto lofted a beautiful pass right in front of the net. After Alfredo Montero's shot was barely deflected by the George Washington goalie, Sicre rushed up quickly on the left side and blasted the ball into the goal.
Coach Mendoza evaluates the Hoyas' present position simply: "The defense is now solid, and the passing is sharp. All we need is a little more punch on the front line." If this seems the direct opposite of Georgetown's early season problem, it is a good reflection of this strange season. GU has seemed alternately a powerhouse and a patsy. Hopefully, the team is now ready to fulfill its potential.

What happened? The mighty Georgetown offensive machine, which made the gridiron battle with Seton Hall look like a replay of the Notre Dame-Pittsburgh affair, suddenly and miserably collapsed last Saturday against the swaggering troops of Catholic University. The Hoyas almost matched the Cardinals in total offensive yards (152 to 169) but, except for freshman Mark (Sleepy) Hollo's diving stab of a 10 yard touchdown pass, never seriously threatened the rival goal line.
Behind a surprisingly improved offensive line, halfbacks John (O.J.) Dwyer and Joe Duckett provided glimmers of hope in the third and fourth quarters with some impressive bulldozer running. But their efforts made little significant progress toward touchdown territory mainly because neither of the Hoya quarterbacks were anywhere up to par. Both field generals, Tom Argentieri and Bruce Simmons, had horrendous afternoons, enough to turn Georgetown into a "three yards and a cloud of dust" outfit. The story of the hapless duo's unsuccess is heartlessly depicted by their pass completion record of 4 for 22 with two aerials intercepted.
Head Coach Mush Dubofsky was forced to play quarterback roulette throughout the skirmish and he had negligible results as punter Pat Connelly can fully testify. Connelly punted nine times.
It was unfortunate that the balky Blue and Gray offensive show had to negate the capable performance of the Hoya defensive unit which did remarkably well to hold the highscoring Cardinals to seven pOints. Pierce O'Donnell and company did a fairly reasonable job in containing Catholic's only ball-moving threat, quarterback Dave Murphy. A bonafide club football All-American, Murphy nevertheless left a lot of breathless Hoyas behind him.
The win over Mush's men added to. talk around CU concerning the Club Bowl. The Cardinals, eighth-ranked in club standings and certain to move up, sport a 4-0-1 record with only never-has-been Marist remaining on their schedule.
Despite all Hoya shortcomings, Catholic certainly did not evidence any clear superiority over the representatives from the Hilltop. It took Coach Dubofsky's debatable decision to go for two points after the Hoyas' lone touchdown at the end of the first half to insure the Cardinals' meager margin of victory.
After being kayoed by Catholic, Georgetown has had to sober its football dreams considerably. This Saturday's encounter with lona comes down to a matter of pride. Dubofsky and his charges desperately want a winning season, something which last year's squad was unable to accomplish. A better than .500 overall mark would give impetus to any movement for an expanded club schedule on the Hilltop next season.
Saturday's game is the last for many Georgetown seniors including quarterbacks Argentieri and Simmons. The outcome of the lona meeting may well depend on whether this pair can rise from the ashes as they did after the Fordham bash. At any rate, this weekend will determine the final position of Georgetown's yo-yo football season.
NOVEMBER SPECIALS
The soccer team, another Hoya athletic entry which has experienced erratic fiutterings, appears to have rediscovered the winning touch. After distressing setbacks to Howard and Morgan State earlier in the year, the booters have picked up momentum with two straight victories. While all hopes of an NCAA playoff berth have vanished, the soccer squad can still wind up their schedule on a high note this Saturday against Navy, rated second only to Maryland in soccer finesse around this area.

The only fall sports team whose performance needs no qualification (at least not yet) has been Coach Steve Benedek's cross-country squad. The endurance men breezed through their dual meet schedule suffering only a minor embarrassment to William and Mary. But now the preparation is over and the business end of the season has arrived with the lC4A and NCAA championships. Benedek's men have a clear shot at the lC4A title this Monday if they live up to their past performances. Perhaps Georgetown might breathe the heady vapors of unqualified success for a change.

Two Point Try Fizzles As Cards Deck Hoyas
by Tom O'Connor As the Hoyas charged onto the
field at Cardinal Stadium to face the undefeated CU eleven, they came upon a large "G '72" in red paint along their sideline. This appropriate decoration was placed there during a midnight raid led by three GU frosh who did not want to be out-done by the "dynamic duo" who pilfered the Fordham ram two weeks ago.

Final Showing Primes Hoyos For IC4A Tifle
by Pan Fanaritis Next Monday, the Georgetown
cross-country team travels to New York City's Van Cortlandt Park for the important 1C4A crosscountry championships. Last Saturday in their final dual meet, the Hoyas overwhelmed New York Metropolitan Champion M a nhattan 19-40. Steve Stageberg led the Hoyas in the victory which gave them a 6-1 dual meet record for the season. Running away from the field, "Stag" finished less than ten seconds off the course record, which is held by defending 1C4A champion Art Delong. After Manhattan's Brian Kirlan came in a not-too-close second, Georgetown's Garth McKay, Jay Nichols, Fred Protopappas, Greg Ryan, and Fred Lane took the next five places. The last two Hoya finishers were Joe Fonesca, 12th, and Bob Schwetje, 13th.
Head Coach Steve Benedek viewed this preview on Van Cortlandt Park course with mixed emotions. He said, "I was very pleased with Steve's performance, but the other boys will have to improve." Coach Benedek went on to say that before the meet he had told the team to really push themselves so that he could have an idea of their potential on the course. However, Benedek felt that either because of a lack of competition from Manhattan or because of other reasons, the squad didn't run up to their abilities.
VVhen asked about how he viewed the dual meet season, the coach replied, "Overall I was pleased, but it would have been

last bit of levity to befall the Georgetown side on a completely bleak day. Catholic U opened up on offense. Dave Murphy, the Card quarterback, called two plays up the middle for no gain, and then he threw the ball way in a desperate attempt to elude the Hoya's John Montgomery. CU punted on the next play. This was the model for the rest of the game. Strong defensive play on both sides accounted for the 7-6 Catholic U. victory.
A strong pass rush led by Jimmy Graeter, John Kuhns, John Montgomery and Pierce O'Donnell continually forced Murphy to leave the pocket and scramble. His ability to throw on the run resulted in the Cardinals' only score. With the ball on the 31, Murphy rolled right, broke one tackle, beat another and hit Vic Capece in the end zone. The important conversion by Joe Gribben turned out to be the winning margin.

gentieri and Bruce Simmons, going with the one who was most effective at the moment. Neither could maintain a sustained drive. The Blue and Gray got on the scoreboard late in the first half. Defensive halfback Rich Sindelar intercepted a Murphy pass and returned it to the Cardinal 34 yard line.
Argentieri passed to Pete McGuire on the ten and on the next play, he hit Mark Hollo, who stole the ball from two defenders for the score. The game rested on the next play. Argentieri dropped back to pass and aimed for O. J. Dwyer. The ball was knocked down by a duo of Cardinals. The contest could have ended here. The second half was just an exercise in frustration.
Georgetown clearly dominated the third quarter but was unable to push across a score. At one point, the Hoyas were marching down the field only to fumble away the ball on the Cardinal 25.
Catholic University played ballcontrol in the last quarter, allowing Georgetown 12 offensive plays. Midway in the quarter the Hoyas were driving well. A third down play was close enough to measure for the first down. Most sideline spectators will swear that the first down was made, but the referees, after deliberating for almost three minutes, decided the ball was a fraction of an inch short. On the fourth down, Argentieri kept the ball, moved forward, and was pushed back. His forward motion should have been sufficient but after another conference, the ball was awarded to Catholic.
A Cardinal interception crushed another Hoya drive and in the final seconds of the game, Dave Murphy put the game on ice when he stole a Bruce Simmons pass and returned it to the Hoya three, at which point the gun sounded and the cross-bars came down.
Joe Duckett displays some of the effort which characterized the Hoya running game against Catholic University last Saturday.
Hoya Backcourt Short On Height
by Ron KlllCik The Georgetown basketball team
has been working hard for the last three weeks preparing for their opening encounter against Loyola of Baltimore Nov. 30. Such national·basketball powers as St. John's, St. Joseph's, Boston College, Holy Cross, and Columbia are also included on the 1968-69 schedule. St. Peter's, Army, and Syracuse were dropped from this year's slate while Coach Jack Magee added Penn State, William and Mary, and St. Anselm's.
The Hoyas are a young club this year, boasting of only two seniors. One of them is 6'4" cap-
tain Jim Supple who will again man a forward slot. Supple, a 50 percent shooter last year, is very optimistic about this year's team. He stated, "The team is very fast, and we have a number of guards who can handle the ball well."
The Hoya backcourt is also very small with guards Mike Laska, Don Weber, Dick (Ziggie) Zeitler, "Tiny" Tim Mercier, and Jim Higgins all measuring in under six feet. Only senior Bernie White stands over six feet among the guards. Thus Magee intends to emphasize defense more this season, utilizing his guards on such pressure defenses as the zone press and tight man to man.
Soccer Men Superi·or In Mud; Slosh Past Baltimore U.~ G.W.
The 6'1" White is very confident that this year's squad will be successful. "With all the speed we have, and our strong bench," he declared, "we can wear our opposition down. The good bench behind the starting five is a tremendous asset to the team. There is not that much difference between our first and second teams. Both teams can shoot, handle the ball, and play good defense."
by John Cordes The heralded Georgetown soc
cer team finally began to look like winners last week, as they edged Baltimore University and George Washington University by identical 2-1 scores. Sloppy conditions marred the play in both games, but the Hoya booters proved superior "mudders."
The Baltimore game was not one of Georgetown's sterner tests, despite the close 2-1 score. Alfredo Montero and Emilio Sicre, as usual, combined on the first Hoya goal. Montero rolled the ball deftly across the middle to Sicre, who skillfully outmaneuvered a Baltimore defender and slammed the ball into the lower left corner of the net.
Later, in the third period, Felix Teruzzi broke through on a oneon-one situation. His line drive shot hit the crossbar and richocheted into the goal. Baltimore scored its goal when goal-tender Luis Martinez fumbled the slippery. ball into the net.
It was a different story four days later against cross-town rival George Washington, however. GW dominated the lackluster first half, but Georgetown managed to hold them scoreless.
The ColonialS' momentum, however, continued into the third period. They finally scored on a 30 foot shot that beat Martinez on his right side. The Hoya goalie admitted after the game that "the shot was stoppable, but it was a very good goal nevertheless." La-
ter, Martinez redeemed himself with a spectacular diving save of a shot by the powerful George Washington center forward.
Late in the game Georgetown, spurred on by the sparkling defense, began to take offensive con-

But lack of height may plague Georgetown in basketball this year. Magee is counting heavily on his 6'8" center Paul Favorite, who is 40 pounds heavier than last year and considerably improved. The Hoyas will definitely fast break more this year compared to last, and Favorite must get his share of rebounds if the Blue and Gray running attack is to be successful.
Magee will also have to keep his two big men, Favorite and 6'7" Charlie Adrion, out of foul trouble. Both were prone to foul quite a bit last year. Adrion, who drilled in 362 points last season, has a chance to break a school scoring record held by Jim Barry (cousin of pro basketball's Rick Barry) if he keeps up his present pace.
In preparation for the 24 game 1968-69 basketball season, the Copley House Council will hold a question and answer session tonight at 7:30 with Coach Magee in Copley Lounge. All are invited to attend in order to meet and talk with Georgetown's basketball mentor.
