The g rea tes t change from last y ea r is the steep decline in engineering acceptances. Dean Beineman pointed out that on a national level, engineering Explications have been down and that many schools he has contacted have reported a s im ila r decline.
The decline in the numbers in the B usiness Administration College was attributed partially to the low er tuitions at Temple Univ ers ity .
Dean Beineman stated that, on a national basis , this y e a r 's high school graduates will number 65,000 few er than last y ea r 's . He added that schools such as C ornell a re s ti ll accepting ap- pUcations, while Lehigh and Penn have closed off applications but have not attained the ir expected num ber of entering freshmen.
Concerning the quality of students accepted this year, D r. Beineman said that, <*Based on the students* college board sc o re s and rank in class, the quality of students accepted this y e a r is as good as o r better than those accepted last year.**

M r. B erliner stated, “ NICAP re s tr ic ts its study to what it term s the Modern E ra . This is the period from 1945 to the present. It is quite possible to investigate further back but not scientifically. The organization notes that the f irs t public focus of attention was in 1947. Because of the f irs t visual report, tiie term ‘flying saucer* was coined. In 1953 several UFO*s were tracked in the restric ted area over the Capitol and White House in Washington, D.C.**
In 1957 there was renewed activity in the Southwest portion of the United States. Afte r relative null there were se veral sightings last August. The latest rash of sightings was reported over the week-

D r, Raffaele commented, “ The main problem at Drexel is in adjusting to rapid change where the consequences of change may be faculty insecurity. The role of the local chapter of AAUP may well be to bring this insecurity to the surface and in terp re t it to the administration.**
Dr. Raffaele added, “ We are presently working on improving present faculty-admiilistration relationships.

R e g is tra r John W. Neal J r . said that he anticipates “ some shrinkage** in the number of deg ree candidates between now and graduation.
He expects the 517 M aster*s candidates to reduce to about 450 by Commencement. He attr ibu tes this reduction to re quired revisions in m aster*s these s which will take until after graduation to complete.
In the undergraduate schools, he anticipates a drop from 743 candidates to about 725 gradua tes . The Evening College, with 194 degree candidates and 21 diplom ates, should maintain diplom ates, should maintain about the sam e num bers until Commencement.

nlcal graduate students. “ At D re x e l / ' Dean Witzell stated, “ graduate financial aid is nearly non-existent in three of the four graduate schools.*’ This seem s to be the trend across the country so that all top students in engineering o r science receive some sort of financial support, while very few such arrangements are found in other fields.
Drexel wants to enlist federal aid in o rder to offer more fellowships to graduate students. Dean Witzell also commented, “ With the increased incentive we hope that many more excellent students will be enrolled.”

Drexel»s Medical Service has taken action to a lte r conditions that led to student com plaints in a Senate survey on the se rv ice .
According to Dean of Men W illiam E. Toombs, “ Steps have been taken to see that delays are eliminated** In giving insurance form s to students afte r treatm ent at P re sb y te rian Hospital. A side effect of this delay was that students claim ed they were being h a r ra sse d by a collection agency before they received insurance fo rm s to se ttle with the hospital.

Such money is used fo r fellowships and other m eans to fu rth e r graduate study The two departm ents which benef it m ost from this so rt of grant a re the Bio-m edical and Environm ental Engineering departm ents. The money fo r the support of these two groups comes from the U.S. Public Health Service, 'a governm ent agency.
The Bio-m ed section last year rece ived $62,000 and next year hopes to get $110,000. The Env ironm ental Study Group received $8000 previously and will get $140,000 next year. Additional tra in ing gran ts in the amounts of $65,000 will come from the N ational Science Foundation, NASA and the Office of Education in support of the new docto ra l p rog ram .
A ll of th is money is allotted to the various colleges in the school. T here a re M aster’s prog ram s in every departm ent of the college and doctoral prog ram s in physics, chemistry, m a te r ia ls and applied mechanics. The la t te r p rogram is in terd iscip linary in that it can grant d o c to r’s degrees to students inte re s te d in many fields, such as m echanical engineering and civil engineering. Perhaps because of i ts m ulti-study nature, it is the fa s te s t growing doctoral p ro g ram .
Of a ll of the funds mentioned above, 83% last year came from UJS. Government grants with the balance coming mainly from DuPont Co.; Dow Chemical; P ro c - to r-S w artz , a chemical concern; the Philadelphia E lectric Company; United States Steel Corp.; Sun Oil Company; E sso O ilCom - pany, and the H ercules Powder Company.

I feel lous y .
I often wondered what I’d do if
it ev er happened that so m eth in g w a s
printed that should not have . I am
s t i l l wondering.
N ic e c l i c h e s about “ humble p i e ”
do not su f f i c e to p a s s o f f the
blunder.
In the i s s u e of May 6, an art icle
on the features page s lan der ed the
entire corps of parking lot a t tend
a nt s in an effort to improve the
management of the parking lo ts on
campus . To o many unauthorized
cars were f i l l i ng the lo t s whi le
drivers with s t i c k e r s had to park
on the s t ree t .
I’m f inding it i m p o s s i b le to
d e v i s e a way to ju st i f y the paper’s
approach to th is problem. I c a n ’t
think of a c l e v e r or graceful way to
admit that I w a s wrong to le t the
art i c le be printed.
L i t t le c o n s o l a t io n i s derived
from the fact that t ighter contro ls
are now be ing enfor ced , and fewer
unauthorized cars are g e t t in g on the
lo t s .
I s t i l l f e e l lo u s y . T h e art ic le
emba rrassed the lot a t t end ant s and
c a u s e d them a great deal of undue
harrassment from their sup ervisor .
T o c l ea r the repu tat ions of t h e s e
men, we talked to one of them this
week to learn of their s i tu at i on , or
better, p l ight .
We learned that they are the butt
of much ab u s i ve language and
treatment. One of them was ph ys i
c a l ly pushed by a member of the
facul ty while trying to perform
his job.T h e y r ec e i v e no rel ie f during
their entire day to a l le v ia te any
personal d i scomforts . If one of them
d o e s le a v e for a short time, the
chain must be put up, but can’t be
loc ked , s i n c e cars must get off
the lot too— and that’s when many
of the unauthorized cars pull onto
the lo ts .You can check all around their
s h a c k s , none much bigger than
upright c a s k e t s , and you won’t
find a heat ing unit. If drinking on
the job d o e s o c c a s s i o n a l l y occur,
i t ’s during the cold of winter and,
I think, quite understandably.
As for ins ta l l i ng mechanized
g a t e s , I find it d if ficul t to be l iev e
that there wil l ever be a machine
w ho s e p re se n c e wi l l deter pi l fer
age or report any damages from
a c c i d e n t s .
In the masthead below, there i s
a s tat eme nt which n o te s that, “ The

for the latter that such i s the c a s e

“ Midnijjht Sknlk,.,v-
Aspiring Artists" With More Informaii,,,,M r. Hawthorn Replies;
The eloquence of the “ Reply .f Mldnlgh S kulkers” has s o m ^ a ceeded the accuracy found in their w* te r com menting on my observah.! Nowhere in my a rtic le did I mnkpI ’ tensions of being an a r t critic'nor a!* claim to authority o ther than indicatil^ the observa tions of a pedestrian had walked along the length o f ?fence. I ‘‘personally witnessed” peonwreactions to the fence and described m observa tions in p rin t as the Midni.h! Skulkers have done. I personally knol of no adm in istra tive restrictions Qm plied to ex is t by the Midnight sici.i kers) that specifically prohibit the paint* ing of our construction fences.
Editor, Drexel Triangle;In answer to Mr. Gary Hawthorne s
scathing criticism of the slogans painted on the fence along Woodland Avenue,I think that he has set himself up as a judge of aspiring a r tis ts and their work without appreciating the conditions under which the work was ca r ried out. At Penn, a rt work upon the fence is encouraged. Here at Drexel, the obstacles which one must overcome in order to embellish a fence are quite formidable.
F irs t there is a problem with the lighting conditions. It seem s that a r t work during the day is discouraged due to bothersome flies, janitors and over- zealous motorcyclists. Certainly da Vinci did not have to paint his “ Last Supper” in the dark. Yet, these are the conditions which are imposed upon aspiring artis ts here at Drexel. Comparing Penn’s fence to D rexel’s is like comparing a Rembrandt with an Andy Warhol pop painting. Indeed, just what does Mr. Hawthorne know about a rt? Is he an expert? Is he an a r tis t? O r is he just an overly sensitive, overly loquatious junior Humanities and Technology major?
In addition to questioning M r, Hawthorne's competence as an a r t authority, the accuracy of his interpretations of peoples* reactions to the fence must be seriously questioned. Having p e r sonally witnessed the mirthful response of many students who were passing by the fence, it must be concluded that the would-be a rtis ts accomplished what they originally set out to do; em bellish the fence with some amusing slogans that would be neither offensive nor harmful.
Only one of these slogans was apparently deemed offensive by the Building and Grounds department, and it was soon painted over. This slogan supported the bombing of Hanoi and Powel- ton village. Although the m erit of bombing Hanoi is s till being hotly debated, an attack on Powelton village could be quite beneficial by ridding Philadelphia of one of its main breeding grounds for roaches.
Have the fence painters really committed as great an offense as Mr. Hawthorne could have us believe? Is this form of e:q)ression really so m orbid and decadent that “ its total harm can never be accurately evaluated?” Is “ its long range effect as im m easurable as its manifestation is indescribable?” Or is Mr. Hawthorne just r e leasing his own frustrated, unstable, and perverted emotions in writing such an article?
The Midnight Skulkers
It is a lso implied that one should be an a r t i s t in o rd e r to criticize Drex el»s fence. I wonder if one must he a m u rd e re r in o rd e r to write about m urder? W itness Trum an Capote's K COLD BLOOD - a book which has been num ber one on the best seller lists fo r w eeks. Is T rum an Capote a mur d e re r? Do people doubt his accuracy of reporting the fac ts simply because he has n ever com m itted m urder?
I also wonder if the Midnight Skul. k e rs noticed the reaction of Bulletin em ployees, in p a rticu la r, who traverse Drexel»s p roperty on their way to lunch at Kelly and Cohen? It can accurately be sta ted that th e ir “ responses” were hardly “ m irth fu l.”
In re fe ren ce to the slogan promoting the bombing of Hanoi and Powelton V illage, I cannot reco llect that the bombing was so humorously justified on the w all as it is in the Skulker’s letter. 'The Midnight S ku lker 's ambition to rid Philadelphia of a nest of vermin was a reason that did not accompany the original suggestion that the tw o locations be bombed. However, I cannot agree that any bombing of innocent people is “ neith e r offensive nor harm ful.”
I also failed to notice that Drexel was p laced in the College Catalogue in a se p a ra te category o r with an aste r isk following the school’s location. Should the school be noted as not being an authentic institution of higher learning? When a bas is for comparison with Penn is possible, it is not only justifiable, but also extremely healthy.
In conclusion, I, in agreement with the T riang le Staff, used this comparison to indicate that D rexel’s slogans are not “ am using,” but rather, lacking In im agination.

penings. The problem of communicating an experience so subjective is almost im possible of solution.
Men of talent and intellect have consistently tried and rejected the synthetic aids to authentic experience. Opium, hypnotism and starvation have all had their day. Men return to the basic struggle- how to free the sp irit and test this freedom with every tool of the mind or senses. Then finding a way through art poetry, dram a, even philosophy to share it.
The artic les which have appeared re cently in such profusion make two things quite c lea r. F irs t, “ pot” users are not converting the active minds of our society because they fail to communicate. Second, no one has even the slighte s t basis fo r sound quantitative judgm ents about how many people, on campus o r off, use o r have used the weed.

T r u t h A b o u t W a t e r - B o yBy Mike
The secre t Is finally out! W ater- boy is not a water-boy!
Why isn’t he? Because as is so often suggested in jests, he’s not drinking water. Yes, despite the identity tag and years of tradition, the statue at the east entrance of the Great Court is not that of a boy drinking water. It s wine! Not only that; he isn’t even a statue, he’s a fountain.
These rem arkable facts were brought to light by a very old book from a very cramped aisle in the very a is le -le ss library basement. “ M asterpieces of the International Exposition, 1876,” page 243, ca rr ie s a sketch of Bartholdi’s “ The Young Vine-Grower” —our “ Wa- ter-boy.” Page 306 has the following explanation:
“ Mr. Auguste Bartholdi’s ...Young Wine Growers ...a bronze design for a fountain... is too simple to need explanation. The strapping young vinter, fatigued with his work of treading out the grapes, s its down panting on a stump, his dog beside him, and drinks from a keg of new wine...In the fountain when complete, a stream would run from the bung- hold of the keg directly into open mouth of the figure...”
In other words, D rexel’s oldest tr a dition is to rub the grape-stained foot on the dry fountain figure of an underage wino!! And this to bring luck in exams?!
The implications of this find a re indeed staggering. F irs t , the question a r ise s as to why the truth about*‘W ater- boy” has been so long suppressed.
Could it be an adm inistrative conspiracy? We think not. F o r there’s very little to be gained from conspiring to mislabel statues. The big money nowadays is in textbook price-fixing.
Or could it be just overzealous pro tective paternalism , that strange quirk that resu lts in dorm hours, d re ss regulations, drinking prohibitions and everything else short of outright spanking? Possible! The capability does exist.
Wadl(
After all, isn’t a statue of a lewd vagrant woman called “ Sappho” to p ro tect the suggestible coed?
Or could the reason be less s in is te r? Maybe the Ixwk containing the truth about “ W ater-boy” has just not been returned by a delinquent faculty m em ber 90 years overdue! Very likely. In fact, alm ost anything is likely...
But let us consider o ther questions. Such as, does D rexel have such an excess of fountains that it can use them as hallway decorations? And: could this p a rticu la r fountain be made operable (either indoors o r outdoors)? It would certainly come in handy during Senior Week!! (Bubble bath, dye, je llo ,...the mind boggles!)
The question thus raised a re endless. Does “ W ater-boy” typify the exploitation of child labor? Is he the V ictorian Age co-op?
And what of the wine? Is it C hristian B rothers o r Manischewitz? (Just whose ‘*Water-boy” is he?)
But why continue calling him “ W ater- boy” when now we know he isn’t?
We need a new name. Wine Boy? The Fountain of Vermouth?
W alt! An idea! Bartholdi, its sculptor, is the sam e man who created The Statue of L iberty. Why not call ou r shrine The Statue of Libation? Of course, we can only suggest names, since the final decision m ust come from the newly- appointed V ice-president in charge of C luttering Up the Hallways (which, by the way, is another good name for the statue!)
W hatever name he finally receives, “ W ater-boy” ’s tradition has been g rea tly enhanced. F o r now we know he’s one of us; a youth rewarding labor with appropriate refreshm ent, unconcerned that immunity from sta te liqudr laws begins a few blocks to the southwest. And even better; a youth invulnerable to w hatever D rexel has in s to re for him - h e 's already 100% bronze.

Ju s t what is a college? Essentially, a college o r university is a meeting place of people who have experienced som e of the knowledge of the world with those who wish to gain from that experience. The two groups, faculty and students, define a college. A college administration exists to provide the buildings and serv ices which the faculty and students require.
Since the quality of instruction at a college depends on the capabilities of the p ro fesso rs and the students, in terference by an adm inistration at almost any stage of the educational process is harmful. At Drexel, unfortunately, such in terference has taken place “ in the pursu it of excellence.”
The interference is in several vital a re a s . Of greatest importance has been the adm inistration’s handling of faculty. Secondly, the administration is guilty of the same practices that have brought national condemnation to a well-known institution. Finally, if only for this artic le , the school’s pursuit of excellence seem s to have taken a wrong turn somew here along the road.
Drexel vs. Facu ltyUpperclassmen, in particular, should
rec a ll the teachers whom they would consider good and ask themselves the question: What ever happened to Dr. (or M r.) Teacher? The answer to this will be in too many cases that these teachers a re no longer at Drexel. They have left the school to go elsewhere for higher sa laries, for higher rank, m ore respect for their professional capabilities and for a more encouraging academic atmosphere.
Many of these p rofessors who have left o r who will be leaving shortly, a re young, capable and dedicated to the teaching profession. They have J" their short stay here achieved wide popularity on the students’ part for their c lassroom skills. What happens to the school’s ability to attract and keep eood people once the word gets out that
Institute has made little or no effort to offer the faculty what other collegesa re eiving them?
H seem s many find It better to pursueexcellence - elsewhere.
Drexel v*. GradesIn recent weeks, the U. S. Naval
Academy has made the front pages of newspapers across tlie coun ty for the revelation that the Academy had been a rb itra rily raising the grades of stu d ^ t s officials had decidedSwt too many were failing courses such
therefore, their udmlnls-
tration raised the grades of many students so that only a certain percentage would fail. Anapolis has been under fire for this by the accrediting group, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
This is the same group that accredits Drexel, which is no less guilty of the same practice. In many cases fresh men physics and humanities grades were r a i s ^ in the fall using two methods - e ither teachers were instructed not to flunk too many, o r grades were raised after the teacher reported them. Why should a teacher bother giving te s ts and grades if an adm inistra tor decides what students will receive?
No one should seriously e :^e c t good humanities work from the engineering students, many of whom had scores as low as 400 in the verbal section of the college boards. Whom are we really deceiving by raising grades?
Drexel vs. MIT
Since many people consider D rexel to be p rim arily an engineering school, it is only natura l that the school is compared to the leader in the area, M assachusetts Institute of Technology. With the adm inistration’s stated policy of pursuing excellence, many feel that the school is pursuing MIT in a race with the winner being declared the nuipber one engineering school.
The race is one that D rexel cannot win and should not stay in. The Institute cannot win, if only because good faculty m em bers a re leaving and because of bad p rac tices such as grade ra ising . To inc rease the aura of its name, D rexel should not try to become a carbon copy of MIT. If it does become a copy, then it will always be com pared to the original. The school should develop and perfec t an area of educational excellence fo r which no other school is known. D rexel must be known not only for its academic standing, but also for its ability to innovate. Such an a rea could be in co-operative education, but not necessa rily .
Cooperative education makes this school different and renowned, but the co-op plan has not changed o r improved much over the last decade. It is , however, distinctive and valuable to the educational e:q}erience. The point is that both students and D rexel have benefited from this different program . If the administra tion does not choose to perfect the co-op plan, it should se lect an area in which Drexel can l)ecome the leader.
Evidently, something m ust be done about teachers leaving and about adminis t ra to rs falsifying g rades. If the administra tion gives the faculty the sam e o r be tte r benefits than they can get e lse where, the f irs t condition will l)e sa tis fied. The second is e a s ie r once people rea lize that honesty is the best policy. Successful improvement in both a reas by the adm inistration is a necessary step on the road to excellence.

As m o st people know, the change in grading systems neces s ita te d a specia l ranking formula which amounted to a weighted average of rank under the old sy s tem and rank under the new sy s tem .
A fac t tha t m ost people do not know is that some rather par. adoxical situations can come to light when this weighted rank for. m ula w as applied twice for each student to generate two lists as m entioned above.
The purpose of this open let- t e r is to d issp e ll any feeling that the ranking lis ts are “ fouled up** ju s t because some of the r e s u l ts a r e unusual.
As a single example, the stu. dent who ranked number one in h is college (when the calcula. tion involved a relatively high num ber of students) came out num ber two in his department and vice v e rsa . F o r this to hap. pen, the academ ic performance of the students involved had to be quite close and in recognition of th is , the adm inistration has decided to t r e a t this particular situation a s a tie for any honors o r aw ards that may be involved.

This however, is only one of the many a re as of inconvenience.
The next a re a affects not only the D rexel g ir ls in general, but indirectly , D rexel men.
The g rea test inconvenience placed upon the g irls is their curfew s. F reshm en g irls must be in at 11 p.m . and upperclassm en at 12. Of course, rea liz ing the need for an extension of this time on weekends, the school has had the leniency to expand these hours to 12:30 on F riday and, if you have behaved yourself all week, to1 a .m . on Saturday night. Spec ia l 2 a.m . perm issions are also given.» Unfortunately, these cannot always be taken. At this moment, there is a sign at the Sheraton notifying the g irls that no 2 o*clocks will be given this weekend.
If these hours seem a little s t r ic t to you, keep in mind that the g ir ls have been granted a lee- w a y - 10 minutes (except on 1 and2 o*clocks.) When you consider how fa r the Sheraton is from the f ra ts , the generosity of Drexel alm ost overwhelms you and you a re able to realize the full im plications of these curfews.
The absurdity of these rules espoused by the school, however gocxl the school*s intentions, is obvious upon any sound evaluation. The implications they purp o rt to rep resen t a re that Drexel g ir ls a re indecent, immoral, and lack self-d iscip line. It is because they s ta r t with such a low supposition that they must make such petty regulations. Bes ides the fact that their original hypothesis is totally wrong, it is not the duty of the school to play the ro le of babysitter or se t itse lf up as a judge of right o r wrong. Do they believe that by setting an early curfew pec^le w ill become m ore moral?
Any debauchery that*s going to be done, if it*s going to be done, w ill be done. Anyone should be able to rea lize this, above all the school. Instead of falling back on the crutch of parentis, they should face the dem ands of today*s society and encourage the g irls to attain the m oral integrity and courage needed to make the transition from childhood to adulthood.
C hildren need to be told when to come in; adults know. Drexel seem s to feel Uiat by treating its co-eds as children, it is fulfilling its obligations to tlieir paren ts . is it? Or is Uiis just anotlier way of shirking re sponsibility?
It is not Uie duty of Drexel to play babysitter. It job to afford Uieir students the opportunity to attain a hig le educatioiu

With this last article of the formally
Pu ^ end to the “ Philadelphia Fantasy.** That’s right. No
beaten banner, or even more offensive, lauding such “ terrific** traditions as cobblestones and one-way stree ts . Philadelphia is far from fantastic, and we all know it, but that is hardly the problem at hand.
No city is fantastic and any efforts to make one so would be in vain. The reason? A city is a city only because of its people. And all people are different- good and bad, successful and unsuccessful; hardly fantastic - but terribly real. And this is the problem at hand.
Have you ever considered that Philadelphia*s only claim to fame is, in fact, that it is your city? And that if you haven*t learned to enjoy it or appreciate it, for no other reasons than for the personal associations you choose to make with it, it can be considered nothing but your loss. Forget about the cobblestones and the im pressive skyline. Be proud of it, because you live in it.
It took me three term s to weed through the fantasy, but now that I*ve finally arrived at reality, perhaps you will find the informative part of this article a bit ea sie r to digest.

Ella F itz gerald will entertain at St. John Terrell*s Music C ircus in Lam - bertville, N .J. from June 21 through June 26. She*ll be followed by the Supremes from June 27 until July 3rd.
You have a wide choice on the Fourth of July. Shirley Jones will s ta r in “ The Sound of Music** at the Valley Forge Music F air, while Paul Ford s ta rs in “ You Can’t Take It With You** at the Playhouse in the Park . The great Louis Arm strong will be at the Lam bertville Music C ircus.

Tickets for the Valley Forge and Camden County F a irs can be purchased in Center City departm ent sto res . Beginning the following Monday and continuing for five days, the famous Maurice Chevalier will be at the Lambertville Music C ircus.

Shape and Pe r fo rm ance C h e ck e d
In the ir documented cases, NICAP looks for two factors, shape and perform ance. The m ost commonly sighted form seem s to be the disk o r flattened sphere . Next m ost common is the sphere and these a re often the sm a lle r objects. Also a grea t number of s i t t ings a re reported to be tubula r and these com prise the la rg e s t of the UFO's. M ost a re r e ported to be m etallic in the daytim e and at night a re m ost often said to *‘glow all over with a color nea r the red end of the spectrum.**
In the recent s i t t i n g s there w ere a str ing of reported red - w hite-green l i ^ t sequences but a f te r the pattern was noted the sequence changed. M r. B erliner added, **In the way of actions, the U FO 's seem to be capable of extrem ely high speeds even in our atm osphere, however, they have never been known to cause a sohic boom. They appear able to make violent m aneuvers including right angle tu rns and instantaneous st<^s. Often they a re noticed flying in a wobbling fashion.**

In many cases there has been m ore than visual contact. Sev era l hundred have had rad a r confirm ation. On a very few, photos have been obtained. The NICAP organization adm its 6 genuine p ic tu res . O ther evidence consists of electrom agnetic effec ts such as the in terfe rence of the e lec trica l system s of a c a r .
This so r t of thing has happened in at least 200 cases and seven of these w ere within a few hours around a sm all town

fo r the game of C rossing Chestnut S treet Alive
Object of the game: To stay alive. P lay e rs : The p layers will be divided basically into two team s, each of which will have its turn at scoring and in ‘ ‘the Field,** While in scoring position, the team m em bers will be re fe rre d to by the officials as *<the sc o r ers** o r “ the drivers** and by th e ir opponents as many, many o ther things. While in the field, they will be re fe rre d to as “ the fielders.** The fie lders fall into two catagories - - pedestrians and dead pedestrians.Equipment: Each sc o re r will be provided with one 4,000 pound automobile traveling in excess of 60 m iles p e r hour. Each fie lder will be provided witha twenty-five thousand do llar life insurance policy and last r i te s . A ccessories Include group plan Blue C ross and flow ers.Field: The field of play at D rexel is generally considered to be Chestnut S treet from tlie ra ilroad bridge to 34th S treet, However, it is not lim ited to this, A good ru le of thumb to follow is that any place that is flat is a part of the field.
By Jo s e p h Stackhouse
Play: Play commences for memb e rs of either team when they en ter the field area. It ceases fo r pedestrians (fielders) when they a re ca rried off during inte rm ission (3:00-5:00 in the morning) o r manage to escape. It ceases for d rivers (scorers) when they leave the field area, (F or som e d rivers, however, it never ceases,)
Upon entering the playing area, a fie lder m ust try to go from the DAC to the re s t of the campus o r vice versa . Many methods a re used. Among them are disguise (for example a walking f ire hydrant,) which makes an individual very popular with the local canine population) and fe r vent p rayer.
One enterprising player tried to walk a tightrope strung across the s tre e t but was knocked down by the ae ria l ladder of a passing fire truck . Another tried throwing DAC coffee on the d rivers. Unfortunately, he spilled some on him self. The d riv e rs must, upon entering the playing areas, attem pt to run down any fielders in sight (as weU as anything else that moves.)Scoring: P layers will be scored on the basis of general intelligence, style of play and lack of driving abiUty, Points will be awarded on a scorer*s style as follows:one lane d r iv e r ,. . .2 pts.sw erves......... ••••••• 4 pts,sk ids....................... 6 pts.uses ro ll bar a l o t ...b e rse rk ..................10 p ts.Points will also be awarded for number of pedestrians hit (one point apiece,) degree of injury, and style of hitting.

History: The game of Crossing Chestnut S treet Alive originated in 800 BC when Maximus the Stupid was trampeled by a herd of six million elephants. It gained a large following and by 100 AD was played in the Colliseum in Rome. The fielders in those days were known as Christians.
The sport was brought to America by one Obadiah Scrudge who was chased for sixty miles by a horde of bumblebees in I793 (Mr. Scrudge escaped byannihil- atmg the horde with a can of Flit He was la ter charged with comi mitUng insecticide,) in the fol- lowmg years the sport grew andp e w until in 1914 the international^u m am en t was held (World

After 11 months of operation. VISTA has done "better than the Peace Corps at a comparable stage of development,” Sargent Shriver. the man who until recently ran the Peace Corps, told a Washington press conference.
At the II-month mark. VISTA had 1.477 Volunteers in the field or in training in 39 states and Washington, D.C. That figure has now increased to more than 2.000 Volunteers.
During a comparable period, Shriver said, the Peace Corps had 820 Volunteers, either on overseas assignment or in training. According to Shriver. VISTA plans to have 3,500 Volunteers in the field by June of this year.
"The Volunteers are the heart of the war on poverty.” he said. "In community after community they have shown that deprived and isolated people are willing and able to make a new, constructive effort with encouragement and skilled assistance.”
He pointed out that VISTA is seeking Volunteers from the ranks of the poor as well as from college campuses. "People who have
grown up in poverty," he said, "have a special understanding to contribute.”
Shriver said. "The War on Poverty takes money. But money alone cannot win the war. Dedicated. skilled people are needed to bridge the gulf between the poor and the rest of America and to start the process of regeneration in America.”
Shriver also pointed out that the demand for VISTA Volunteers is outstripping the supply. He said that a total of 7,831 Volunteers have been requested to serve in 577 projects in the District of Columbia and every state but Hawaii and Iowa.
son to the "initiative, commit ment, and adaptability of college students." These characteristics, considered highly important for the Volunteers, are "continually demonstrated by young college volunteers during training." he said.
"In tact," Ferguson said, "more than three-fourths of all VISTA Volunteers now serving in the nation’s poverty areas arc between 20 and 24. Of these, approximately half have completed from one to three years of college and another 16 percent are recent graduates."
Sargent Shriver. the War on Poverty director, said recently that the college trained "are bringing their gitts ot education and encouragement to the tenement alleys and back countrv roads. They have received one of the truly great benefits of our society— an excellent education. In VISTA they will be able to share this benefit with others and confirm the humane values which our colleges and universities represent."

VISTA Volunteers Go North of Nome
Fifty VISTA Volunteers have tanned out of Anchorage by bush plane and boat to man their war on poverty outposts among Alaskas isolated Eskimo villages.
One of the Eskimo requests is for Volunteers who know something about improving the breed of Alaskan reindeer. If they can furnish some tips on preserving this season's catch of walrus meat, so much the better.
The 50 Volunteers are the first of 200 who are needed to help the state’s indigenous population of approximately 60,000 Eskimos, Indians and Aleuts who rank as the poorest economic group in the nation. Many of these families live on less than $1,000 a year. Half of the adults have had less than five years of school and nine out of every ten families live in substandard conditions.
The Alaska Volunteers took their training at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, where they were introduced to village life and the customs of the people who are not only the poorest Americans, but also the most isolated.
• 77/c majority of the Volunteers now work among the Eskimos in western Alaska and north of the Arctic circle, but they are also found among the Indian communities and in urban centers such as Anchorage. I’art of their
training included special instruction in how to prepare for long periods of awesome weather and for days without sun.
Requests for Volunteers poured into VI.STA’s Washington headquarters from more than half of the state's towns and villages following a letter from Senator E. L. Bartlett explaining that the Volunteers could help make the settlements “better places to live.” The letter was sent to all village headmen.
Eskimos are a tough people who excel at living close to nature. The Volunteers will assist them to participate in many of the state-wide service programs that operate under the direction of the Alaska Department of Economic D e v e l o p m e n t and Planning.
Speaking to the second contingent of VISTA Volunteers to be sent to his state. Alaska (uw- ernor William A. Egan told them that "the VISTA Volunteers who have preceded you into rural Alaska are already playing a significant role in the ell'ort to upgrade village life.
‘‘Some villages never heard from are now part of the Alaskan community of the whole because I'l the ctlorts ol V IS’I A Volunteers. I or example, results of a recent electiiMi in one such village were brought to the attention

of interior Alaska residents through a letter written to a major newspaper by a Volunteer living there.”
• Pointing out that most of the Volunteers would be assigned to the western and northwestern areas of Alaska. Governor Egan said: "Here you will face a great challenge, perhaps the greatest of your life . . . if you did no more
than articulate the special, pressing needs of these villages, you would be performing a great service.
“In no other situation would you have such an opportunity to use your own judgment and implement ideas.”
The Volunteers can be found performing a variety of wide- ranging jobs. They have built sawmills and taught music to Eskimo children. At Bethel, a Volunteer helped to construct a breakwater to prevent flooding of the village during spring thaws.
• At nearby Hooper’s Bay one of the Volunteers' main concerns is to explore the possibility of building a small “flash” freezing plant to help exploit the abundant fish resources in the area. The fish cannot be marketed now because there are no facilities to preserve them.
Further to the north, at A nak tuvik Pass, a Volunteer has m an aged to get a tractor for the village to assist in hauling coal down from the mountains for winter fuel.
While doing all this the Volunteers must spend a certain amount of time fishing and hunting so they can eat. Although certain staples are provided, the principal items of their diet will be the same as their Alaskan neighbor— seal, fish, reindeer, caribou and game birds.
The Volunteers have learned to pack ice for water, to ride a dog sled, and to memorize the recipes for reindeer stew and bear steak.
In many villages, the outstanding form of recreation is to greet the arrival of the mail plane. To help fill this gap the Volunteers are developing recreation programs for children, youth and adults. They also encourage community efforts to provide facilities for meetings, libraries, health services, and social activities.
• In addition they are conducting pre-school classes, tutoring students, and carrying on an adult education program. Other, projects include health, education and community sanitation pro-

coholic Indians, helping them to get sober, stay sober, and assume a productive role in society.
Elsewhere in the state, a six- sided, dome-roofed hogan is home for Karen Murkett, Norwich, Conn., who is spending a year of her life among the Nava- jos on their reservation near Lukachukai, Arizona. A graduate of Wheelock College with a degree in pre-school education, Miss Murkett drives a school bus some 30 miles a day to pick up her 15 four-year-old Indian students.
• Krijoz and Miss Murkett are typical of the first contingent of 218 VISTA Volunteers who have agreed to spend a minimum of a year on reservations throughout the country in an attempt to help the Indian achieve a measure of parity in American society.
The Volunteers now serve 49 tribes, which represent 50 percent of the total Indian population in 16 states. They work with the Seminole, the Crow, the Navajo, the Sioux, the Chippewa, and the Apache.

In selecting Volunteers, VISTA places emphasis on the quality of the Individual rather than on specific skills. “We have projects for almost all skills,” Ferguson said, “but the most crucial skill of all is the ability to listen, understand, and communicate with people. This holds true whether the volunteer is a liberal arts major or an engineer.”
Liberal arts students who have become VISTA Volunteers set up libraries where none existed before, renovate rural schools, teach adult literacy, tutor dropouts, survey health needs, organize community meetings, lead pre-school classes, help mothers in day-care centers, direct recreation programs, c o n d u c t neighborhood clean-up campaigns, work with youth gangs and delinquents.
V i c e - P r e s i d e n t Humphrey, speaking to students at the University of Minnesota, described the “special role for the college
students of today in VISTA.” He called college training the key to service.
“Help clean up own own backyard,” he urged. “We all owe something, everyone of us who is privileged to have an education. We owe something to the society that made it possible for us to have this education.
“The easiest thing for this rich country is to dole out cash,” he continued. “What is more ditli- cult is to be able to extend the hand of fellowship, the hand of assistance, the hand of education, the hand of training, to help people slowly but surely lift themselves.”
The Vice-President said he believed that by spending a year in service to America, VISTA Volunteers will dramatically alTect their own lives as well as the lives of the poor.
“You have the opportunity,” he said, “to test your skills and principles in the service of your
fellow man under conditions which will give full scope to your abilities and imagination.”
A year in VISTA oilers uniciue practical experience to the students who plan to return to college, continue on to graduate school, or pursue their carecrs. Through work in widely varying fields. Volunteers often discover interest in careers which lead to the further study of medicine, education, social work, public welfare, law and public administration.
Living and working among the poor in such places as Kskimo villages, Appalachian hollows, Indian reservations, and city slums proves to be a powerful experience in learning and understanding for most Volunteers.
Although their primary task is to add a new dimension to the lives of the poor, most find that after their year is up, they have added a new dimension to their own.

A challenge to VISTA—and the nation
between Nashville and Knoxville, deep in the mountains, it once was a flourishing mining town that boasted a movie theater, a telephone ofTice, and a depot where the trains stopped twice a day to load coal.
• But the mines gave out more than ten years ago and most of the people have moved away. The railroad tracks are overgrown with weeds and the theater and telephone otVice have been razed. A schoolhouse still stands but it was abandoned two years ago when the supply of pupils dried up. Those children who remain rise before dawn to catch a bus to the school in Clark Ran«e, 18 miles away. Few from Davidson
finish high school.This lack of purpose is one ot
the major problems facing the five VISTA Volunteers who have been assigned to the community, ( ierry Hnglish, from Santa Rosa, C'alifornia, and Barbara McC o - laum, of Tucumcari, N. M.. have been working for nine months to give Oavidson a “sense ot com
munity.”The main obstacle to their ef
forts is indilTerence. Miss English has observed: “They’ve lost so much. You insulate yourself against caring when caring doesn’t count. That's what’s happened here since the mines dried out.”
• The 261 VISTA Volunteers are working in 34 projects in eight states of Appalachia: Alabama, K e n tu c k y , Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West
Virginia.Ninety VISTA Volunteers are
living and working in rural Kentucky. They serve in 13 of the poorest counties of the state, which are among the 300 most impoverished counties in Amer-
Middlefork, Kentucky, is another Appalachian community. Once fairly prosperous, its major economic staples were coal and tobacco. But the coal ran out, and the big tobacco producers found better quality crops and cheaper transportation elsewhere.
Now Middlefork is left with 300 or so residents who support themselves by subsistence farming and by selling cucumbers at 11 cents per hundred pounds.
Middlefork might have continued indefinitely in this same fashion if it weren’t for Jean Honrath, a young, energetic VISTA Volunteer assigned to that community by her VISTA project sponsor, the Council of Southern Mountains.
In something more than nine months in Middlefork, Miss Honrath has made only a start toward alleviating the material side of the community’s plight. But in a less tangible .sense she has made large-scale progress in realVirming the self-respect of the community in its own eyes and in motivating them toward changing the conditions.
• A former student at Contra Costa Junior College in the San Francisco suburb of FI Cerrito, California, Miss Honrath developed an early interest in work
ing with younger people. She decided that her skills and temperament would best be suited in helping to break the vicious cycle of Appalachian poverty at the children’s level.
She concentrated on Middle- fork’s children and not only helped to establish its first Boy Scout troop, but also ran a highly successful summer school program for more than two dozen local children aged 8 to 16.
Middlefork adults have received their share of help as well. Miss Honrath has organized a program so that unemployed fathers from the community can spend several days a week working to improve the Middlefork school.
• She is self-efjacing when she speaks of her success in Middlefork. “ I’ve only done what the community wants,” she claims. “ I’m far from overconfident, yet I’m optimistic at the same time. My guess is that what we’ve done will iast and grow.”

service. This is not meant to limit men from in tra-
help the coaches who give boys scholarships and work with them,only to have them quit when the time comes to join varsity.
In return, the school should provide more access to its facilities, particularly the limited gym space. This should be extended to the new gym, when completed. In addition, the administration should h e ^ finance an expanded Intramural program which would include paid student referees and better cooperation from Buildings and Grounds.
Lack Student Support
Above all such troubles comes Drexel»s number one drawback in any field: student support. If the administration saw that athletics were a rallying point
for most of the students, there would be no hesitation to increase the budget for It would be well-invested money. The dividends would be many tim es the Investment in the form of alumni support.
With widespread student support, athletes would be fighting to win spots on the team s, while fra te rn ities would not have to be asked to legislate the ir in tra m ural eUgiblUty.
But, alas, Pve been here five y ears and have heard the sam e appeals as long. Students never realize until too late what they have really m issed.

team The only highlights of the sea son w ere a few individual accom plishm ents. The Dragons had five p layers who managed to hit .300 o r better. They were Bill Steck, Tony P iersan ti, PaulS tut- zenburg, John Ward and Doug Groves. Bill, Tony and John are only sophomores and coach Jim Brown is looking forward to having the ir big bats returning for two m ore years.
In the pitching departm ent it was practically a one-man show, John Ward finished with a 3-5 reco rd , Keith Larson and Doug Groves, the o ther two pitchers, finished with records of 0-2 and 0-1, respectively. John pitched about tw o-thirds of the innings during the season.
Only th ree p layers completed the ir eligibility this year. Playing the ir last game for Drexel w ere cen terfie lder Dan Dorrian, r igh tfielder Paul Stutzenburgand f i r s t basem an-pltcher Doug Groves. With the addition of some good talent from the freshm an squad, the Brownmen should re turn to the winning tra i l next year.

Another year has almost past, carrying with it many words of critic ism and defense for Drexel services and policies. Finally last week, a long submerged controversy came to the surface; Drexel athletes and athletics.
Involved Situotion
The controversy is quite complex, involving students, f ra te r nities, athletes, the athletic departm ent and the Institute’s adm inistration. Each of the p a r ties is interrelated with the

of the week TKE defeated p re viously unbeaten PKP. PKP and TKE now each have one loss and tra i l undefeated TEP by one game. The TEP-PK P game will probably decide the Gold League
representative in the championship game.

Defense was the key factor in this game. SP backed up pitcher Gary Kemp with a defense that wiU carry them right into the championship contest, BN, however, completely fell apart in the field and allowed eleven unearned runs.
L arry Noble and Fred Richardson led the offense for SP, each getting key hits with runners on base. Joe Lentz and Bill Hudson pitched well for BN.

Any attempt to ejq>lain the involvement would re su lt in confusion. Let it suffice fo r now that each party has somewhat legitimate problem s.
The feeling here is that the grea test difficulty is that the adm inistration has never made any statem ent as to the d ire c tion and purpose of our ath letic program . Not only do the stu dents not know, but the coaches don’t either!!
Year by year, higher ca libe r opposition has ^ e n included in the schedules. Meanwhile, the ability and means lo re c ru it athletes has not changed significantly.
This is not an appeal fo r an accelerated athletic p rogram , but simply for a feasible policy with sufficient funds and faciliU es to implement it. Most of a ll, to have this policy at least brought to the attention of the athletic department.
N eed for Compromise
A nother p a r t of the situatic is the student-athletic depar m ent relationship. A number s tuden ts participate in freshrad a th le tics , but never join the vai s ity the following year.
Students* reasons vary fi lack of tim e, need for financij aid, fa ilu re to get along wij coaches, o r they just don't wa to play . Coaches feel in ma in stances the fraternities dra the m en away, sometimesonpui pose, with the opportunity f<] m ore recognition than on school’s team .
Experience has proved boj viewpoints to he true — depenf ing on the case . This calls f(| a com prom ise between the at le tic departm ent andthelFCouil cil fo r the sake of advanciil D rexel ath letics.
