congress

Several bills concerning stu­dent welfare were proposed at last week*s student government meeting. It seems that a school of humanities and social sciences may finally be opened. The Stu­dent Congress passed some non­committal legislation pertaining to the Vietnam Moratorium, yet refused to take a strong stand on it. And, after debating twenty minutes, Student Congress finally agreed that there*s been no hot water in Chestnut Hall!

Marty Tunnell, student Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, submitted a report to Congress. She stated that the Humanities and Technology Board has been retired; i.e., no longer exists. In its place, a Humanities and Social Sciences Divisional Committee has been

formed. This committee will sub­mit a program for the ‘‘liberal arts*' college (actual name un­decided) to the Board of Trustees on December 17. The college will hopefully be instituted by January 1, 1970. Even if this deadline isn’t met, applications will be accepted for spring term.

Congress also passed a resolu­tion to the effect that a liberal studies program be opened to all students, sophomore or above, in good academic standing by winter 1969-70, by a vote of 8-5-2. An earlier motion to the same effect, but very vaguely worded, was passed unanimously. The earlie r resolution had no stated target time.

Student Congress endorsed a le tter submitted by the Student Mobilization Committee to Dr. Hagerty inviting him to show the same support for the No­

vember 14-15 Moratorium that he showed for the activities on October 15.

A resolution passed unani­mously by Congress asked the faculty that no penalties be levied against students participating int h e November 1 4 - 1 5 V l e t n a m W a r

Moratorium. An earlier motion made by Tom Kilkenny urging students opposed to the war to participate in the Moratorium was defeated; it received only two yes votes.

A bill was passed urging Drex- el to withhold payment from Chestnut Hall until such time as the hot water boiler is ade­quately repaired.

On the lighter side, a bill was referred to a workshop which stated that the Rufus Dog be made the official mascot of the Drexel undergraduate govern­ment.

The New Folk, a group of five guys and three girls, will be appearing at Drexel on November 19. This is their fourth cam­pus tour, and they do everything from heavy to contemporary, Brazilian, soul, jazz and folk-rock.

The group has toured college and university campuses and leading military bases. They have appeared on TV and cut three albums the last called “ Bom Yesterday.” Other colleges they will visit are Penn State, Georgia Tech, University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin.

The New Folk sing under the sponsorship of the Campus Cru­sade for Christ International, who p resen t Christ as “ the only one who can give meaning in life, instead of escape from life/» as the group emcee said.

HYR&REby bruce maryanoff

The inimitable New York Rock and Roll Ensemble created some of the finest sounds and vibra­tions last Sunday when Drexel hosted its first big-name con­cert and perhaps its last. SPB undoubtedly incurred a loss be­cause of the poor turnout for both shows, resulting from a lack of knowledge of NYR&RE’s remarkable musical talent (im­plying ineffective advertising).

The group performed in a su- per-amazing fashion. Their har­mony, counterpoint, spontaneous bursts of sound upon sound, su­perhuman skill, etc. combined in­to a musical legerdemain which more than hypnotized most of the audience. Evident throughout their music are classical over­tones which lend to an un­

paralleled form of rock that is incapable of being Imitated.

From a trio sonata for cello and two oboes, to walling gui­ta r s and organ accompanied by explosive drums and rumbling bass to a completely discordant panoply of organized sound... some trip . They were together, very together, and not by chance. Each member of the group knows what is to be next; knows what the next note has to be. They are an amalgamation of struc­tu re and anarchy, light and hea­vy, hard and soft. If you have never heard a transfer from a e lec tric guitar to an oboe be momentarily nonexistent to the ear (perfection), see NYR&RE the next time they come around. Don’t blow it again.

Now is the time to find the facts about the war, the culture of the Vietnamese people, the .legitimacy of the present regime of South Vietnam. Now is the time to decide if this war has caused almost Irreparable damage to our cities and nationwide ecology because our military expenditures have sapped sorely needed funds from urban development.

Weigh the death and destruction in Vietnam against the good that could have been done for our cities, then make a decision.

Yes, JOIN the march, unless the smog in our cities appeals to you, unless the loss of innocent lives does not bother your con­science or unless you enjoy the military rape of South Vietnam.

assumingintelligence.institutionalgovernance

by rich lampert

(Mr. Lampert, who was editor*in>chief of the

T r iang le l a s t year , was a member of the com­

mit tee on ins t i tu t iona l governance in th e P l a n ­

ning Commission.)

If you boil down the 22 pages of manuscript that comprises the report of the committee on institutional governance, you*re left with one and only one idea. Basically, we said that the only way to run Drexel effectively is to develop a massive and effective system of communications among students, faculty, administration and

/ trustees.There's nothing original about the underlying

theory; John Locke said it sometime in the 1600»s, and I*m sure he stole it from someone else. We assumed that everyone in the academic com­munity is Intelligent and can therefore reach sensible conclusions if he has all the facts.

'That’s a big assumption, and it’s one that I originally wasn’t willing to make. But in the atmosphere of good fellowship, reasonableness— and the inevitable free cocktails, I began to think that trustees and administrators are pretty de­cent fellows, and I dr^ted into this assumption »along with the rest of the committee.

The main outcome of the assumption is the fact that we didn’t attempt to change the basic structure of the school. The trustees still own it, and the administration still run it. We sim­

ply tried to tack on a few ornaments to make sure that the powers-that-be could have all pos­sible facts at their presumably Intelligent dis­posal. ̂ , .

The two new structures that we ultimately set up were designed solely for communications. The Composite Committee, composed of the student body president, the president of the school, the chairman of the trustees and the chairman of the faculty council, is supposed to meet every month to talk over problems. They, as a group, can’t do anything about the problems they per­ceive. Under our assumption, remember, it doesn’t matter who takes the action, since everyone Is intelligent and competent. As a double check on the Composite Committee, we created some­thing called a University Committee. It’s almost the same as the composite committee, except that the top three people from each sector are involved. Also, the University Committee meets only once a year, as we’ve set it up.

Using the top men from each sector to set up communications is risky, though. How can we be sure that the chairman of the Faculty Senate really cares about the problems of junior faculty members? Can we be certain that the student body president knows what students are thinking or planning? In other words, we’re assuming— as usual— that the top men are competent and intelligent enough to keep up with their sectors.

Once those two committees were set up, Mel Brooks and I stopped fighting for a student repre­sentative on the Board of Trustees. We reasoned— with some encouragement from the Chairman of the Board—that one student voice on a 40-man Board would mean less than one student leaning across the lunch table toward the Chairman of the Board. Presumably, the chairman can swing a lot of votes, and the student body president can spare his vocal chords. In this case, we assumed that students— and faculty, for the matter— are extremely intelligent as a group. That is, we dediced that people didn’t want a seat on the Board just for the sake of having one of their peers sitting in the same room as the trustees.'

If you like, you can argue that the committee dodged its primary issue. Basically, we had to answer the question: *‘Who runs Drexel?” Our answer: ‘‘Never mind who runs Drexel; it doesn’t really matter.”

Maybe it does matter, though.

Once we had our mental agility going, we did manage to produce some concrete reforms and recommendations. We set up an explicit and thoroughly reasonable procedure for deciding and appealing student disciplinary measures. Believe it or not, Drexel has never had a procedure on paper for discipline, and even in practice it was impossible to predict how a case would be handled.

The most important aspect of the procedure is the fact that three of the six members of the committee that decides the student’s punishment are students. In other words, students have a veto over any punishments that are meted out.

We came out with a strong statement (drafted by Vice-President Edward McGuire) which says that “ creative dissent shall be encouraged.” No one on the committee is sure what “ creative dis­sent” is, but the phrase did make the more con­servative committee members more comfortable than the flat word “ dissent.”

The statement on faculty prerogatives avoided discussions of structure, as usual. In this case, we argued that the Faculty senate is such a new structure that we have to wait before trying any­thing else. For some re^on which I still can’t fathom, the two draftsmen of that section of our report (Dr. Joanne Trautmann and Prof, James Maginnis) wrote a strong statement encouraging interdisciplinary programs where the committee as a whole expected a statemAnf on faoiilfv

[oiTgoYernmge d i t o r i a l . . .

President Hagerty’s ostensible reason for barring students from the Board of Trustees is that he does not think “ parties of interest” should have a voice/vot on the board. Let us look at the Board of Trustees and see If they are devoid of “ parties of interest.”

Our records show that of the thirty trustees running Drexel,26 are businessmen, two could be considered academicians (one of these is Dr, Hagerty), none could be considered scientists, and two have no affiUation, (Our records are complete as of summer 1969; since then another member has been appointed who could be considered an academician, since she works at an area high school,) Of these trustees, four are members of the Drexel family. It appears that business is the “ party of Interest” running Drexel.

There is one very frightening thing about this situation. In such a homogenous Board of Trustees, information sources easily be­come standardized, and with onty one man acting as the bridge for all communication between the governed and the governing, the Trustees can easily assume all is well when it is not.

It often seems that Drexel is run Uke a giant factory dedicated to the production of ping pong balls. We are afraid that that is the way an undiverse Board of Trustees really views the situation.

Finally, we set down a general principle that all committees within Drexel ought to include representatives of any large group that is interested in the question. That is, we tried to say that all-student, all-faculty or all-anything committees probably ought to be broadened.

Basically, then, the committee on governance chose to worry about communications, and we assumed that effective governance would follow directly from effective communications. Perhaps because it was summer and we were in, congenial surroundings, we all forgot just how hard it is to maintain effective commu­nications at Drexel. A few of last year’s student leaders spent a good many days tracking down rumors or trying to straighten out misconceptions that brewed because of poor communications. On one occasion, I was involved in a hassle that ran deep into toe night before it could be resolved. But, shut away in our ivoryower in Hershey, we dediced that communications can be main-,

tained.If we’re right, then all we have to do is rely on the good judg-

men of Drs. Hagerty and Brothers and the persuasive powersof student and faculty spokesmen. But even if everyone is totallyrational we’re still not prepared to cope with a breakdown Incommunications, which could someday prove to be a tragic flaw in our ren«i4 ^

r e p o r t o n i n s t i t u t e g o v e r n a n c e“ ...whenever appropriate the all-student, all­

faculty or all-administration comnilttee should be discouraged. The assumption of exclusivity of interests is often both awkward and dangerous. Even the trustees, traditionally removed from the faculty and students, now have to involve themselves more closely with all affairs of the university.'*

“ Because of the Immeasurable effect of faculty on students, student input should be seriously considered in the appointment and retention of faculty members.”

“ Any student or faculty member shall have the r i ^ t to initiate matters of concern, without restrain t, interference, coercion, discrimination or reprisal.Proposed Guidelines for Dissent at Drexel

1. Drexel, as an academic community, must be preserved as a free and open society.

2. F ree inquiry and free expression are in­dispensable elements required for the achieve­ment of our goals as an academic community.

3. Creative dissent is to be encouraged as a vehicle for discovering alternative routes to the truth or for exposing e rro r .

“ Any demonstration of dissent that is con­verted into any interference with the freedom of other members of the Drexel academic com­munity or its guests is a threat to the freedom and openness of Drexel. Any such interference with the freedom of others will be dealt with internally as an extremely serious breach of academic freedom .’*

an executive troikaby e l l i s cohen

There are three equal constituencies at Drex­el, the students, the faculty and the administra­tion. They are the interested parties of Drexel. They should govern the University.

ex ecu t ive t ro ika

The heart of my system is an Executive Troi­ka, composed of the President'of Drexel, the Stu­dent Body President and the Chairman of the Committee on Nominations and Faculty Affairs. The troika replaces the Board of Trustees as the ultimate decision-making authority at Drexel. The Board of Trustees could continue as a high- class, dues-paying Society for the Advancement of Drexel.

commit tees

The troika will determine, generally on an ad hoc basis, how particular decisions should be made. For example, the troika m i^ t like to raze H arry’s Market in order to build an Orange Brick Storehouse. The troika would establish a com­mittee which would make a recommendation back to the troika. They might additionally decide that the committee should be composed of three stu­dents, one faculty member and three admin­istra to rs , with each troika member appointing the respective members of the committee. In addi­tion, two community representatives might be added because of the obvious community involve­ment.

If the arrangement worked out, the committee might be established as a permenent Buildings and Property Committee (a sinnilar committee now exists on the Board of Trustees with the

disadvantage that they have only a second-hand knowledge of Drexel’s needs).

The beauty of the system is that it is flexible. If a group of students decides that they are in­terested in Drexel*s admission policies, they just might form an Ad Hoc group to study it. Af­te r they had proceeded for awhile, they could approach the troika with a request to be es­tablished as an official committee. The troika could suggest that they add a few faculty mem­bers o r administrators, but the committee could very easily remain intact and official as welL

One might question—what is the Job of the P res i­dent of Drexel if he no longer makes the indivi­dual decisions and prepares recommendations for the Board of Trustees? Well, in addition to running the administration, he could get to know Drexel and its student body. (Then again, he coukl join the boards of additional corporations.)

s tu d e n t governm entOne might also wonder, what becomes of the

toy Student Government? Well, it might yet be retained as a student plaything. It could of course continue to voice student opinions or it could concern itself with action and act on University committees.

This proposal for governing the University is not meant to be a final document, but a working paper that seriously Introduces a system that must be superior to the distant oligarchy (the administration and the Board of Trustees) that now controls the Drexel Process.

ratemitie£(The following is a memo sent to all fraternity and sorority presi­

dents, members of the I.F. Commission on Rush and Pledge Policy, and some faculty members, from Sam Messinger, president of Sigma

Alpha Mu,

If experience teaches us anything, it should be not to repeat our mis­takes. Such a luxury is currently enjoyed by the Brotherhoods of our Greek Interfraternity system through antiquated rush and pledging poUcies.

I propose in this open memo, the following course of action for your consideration;

rush pol icyclearly def ine the goa ls of your house and se t p r io ri tiesThis is the only way for your organization to realize what you are,

where you are going, and the values as reflected in the sequence of what is most important to you.

Know whot qua l i t i e s you rep resen tIt’s about time we realize that each fraternity IS different and justi­

fiably so. Be proud of it. When you know what you represent, it will be ap­parent to the rushee who enters your house. Don’t think he can’t see be­yond the facade of “ We’re an all-around house.” No one house does every­thing well. Capitalize on your good points but don’t be afraid to point out to a rush prospect your weaknesses. There are probably good reasons for them.

rush socia l ca lendarTry to save yourselves time, effort and money and avoid the social

calendar with a major event every Friday and Saturday night. Most fraternities blow their entire winter budget by excessive and unneces­sary spending for winter socials. Rap sessions are in. Schedule them. People want to get together and talk. There’s a need for just plain old bull sessions. But it’s harder in a way to schedule these l>ecause they involve a good turnout from the Brotherhood and a genuine INTEREST on the part of the Brothers for the rushees. Discouraged? Don't be. When you think of the $200 bill you’ll save by scheduling every one of these, the ef­fort will be worth it. All this will help you later with pledging, A common complaint heard on the floor is that the Brothers are not pledging proper­ly. Most Brothers don’t know the pledges’ names, let alone know them well enough to make them “ fraternity men.”

everv fraternity to be open to all who wish membership. If for some necuUar reasons a quota on numerical membership is necessary, the individual fraternity may make this unique figure known beforehand for all to know In this case, those who pledge would be on a first-com e, firs t- served basis. While this is in confUct with the idea of each fraternity being different and drawing a unique type of man, it is better to keep the gates open than re-apportion in a less than natural manner. And, if by chance a particular fraternity has a less than successful membership increase due to poor turnout at acceptance dinners, then perhaps some serious introspection is in need.

The eventual solution lies in a year-round pledging program which would make the pledge class smaller and thus more personal. After all, isn’t that what a fraternity is all abou t-m an to man? The G reat Fraternity Leap takes place every winter term and it is extremely detrim ental to many freshmen and others who feel compelled to make the “ now or never” choice to go fraternity when indeed it might be both in the fra tern ity ’s interest and the individual’s interest for him to wait an ex tra te rm . Year- round pledging would broaden exposure to those brothers who are out in industry winter and spring term s to their future bro thers. As it is now, many Brothers come back to school in the beginning of sum m er term , thus missing the new brothers that were inducted in May or June and who are now in industry and never get to meet this 20 or 30 man group properly. Often times it is not until the fall term that the new brothers meet the up­perclassmen, usually at Homecoming banquet. This is a shoddy way of meeting your brothers who share with you all kinds of sacred seals and secret handshakes, I feel that no class should be larger than ten men, thus causing a redistributing of the pledge cycles throughout the year. This, of course, does not mean that two, three-week pledge c lasses of ten are not possible per term.

durat ion of rushThe length of the rush program should be long enough for the rushee to

visit as many houses as his interest or curiosity warrants; and to make the following decisions. Should he go fraternity and if so, which one? A ca re ­fully structured educational program by the Inter fraternity Council should yield better men and results. I suggest the f irs t half of fall te rm be used for this joint co-operative program which should incorporate representatives from every house and the last half of fall term be designated for open rush with pledging beginning the first week of winter term .

educate the ru sheesIf your house is as good as you say it is, you should encourage the

rushee to visit others to appreciate just what you have to offer. Almost deliberately, Brothers seem to avoid answering directly the questions posed to them about how a pledge is blackballed, what is expected from a pledge, or the amount of time required. This makes for many hang-ups later on between the pledge and the Brotherhood. Remember, you must preserve mutual trust with this rushee for If he decides to go to your house, he may some day be your Brother or even your close friend.

Future working relationships are often sacrificed because important questions receive half-answers instead of the time and clarity they deserve. It is not unfair for a person to ask what will be required of him upon en­tering servitude for a period sometimes lasting three months. Make full disclosure when describing the composition of the present Brotherhood and acknowledge that there are cliques. He’ll find that out soon enough even if he does not pledge. Remember, this man will have four and one-half years exposure to your house if he makes it. Don’t start him off on the wrong foot.

the bid m eet ing--non-se lec t iv i tyBids are now given out with a degree of indiscrimination that would wor­

ry the nonchalant bystander. Oftentimes,only ahandful of fra ters have met the man brou^it up for a bid and sell him to the fraternity floor for a quick vote. Many bid meetings have developed into personality clashes between the individual brothers bringing up the rushees name. Meaningless discus­sion rages about the man’s interests, his course, background, girl friend and mother.

I believe the only realistic solution to the above problem is complete NON-SELECTIVITY in the bid process. In light of the procedures advanced under rush policy, I feel it is completely realistic for the membership of

The current perception of the fraternity houses fall te rm by the fresh ­men is foretx)ding. Freshmen are not allowed to trespass on fraternity property. Fraternity men are not allowed to discuss their house with fresh ­men under threat of that house losing its pledging privileges for the en­tire term. A disaster for any fraternity.

This unnatural state of affairs precipitates dirty rush, d istrust among members of the IF Community, We are kidding ourselves when we say the present rules barring freshmen contact “ protects them .” It not only does not protect freshmen; it threatens the stability of IF Council year alter year and promotes poor relations between the fra tern ities themselves, to a level of open, hostile rivalry. Childish as it is, it is rea l. Fall rush could change our entire perception of our fellow students including those who chose year after year to remain independent of fraternity exposure.

Presently, we are supposedly closed to freshmen fall te rm but more than this; through our actions we are turning them off. They see through our double standards to violations of the rules we make for ourselves.

Surely for the greatest evidence of failure in our fall rush regulations one has only to look at the unprecedented degree of illegal rush that has occurred this term.

It is unnatural to think freshmen will not come in contact with fraternity unnatural, one cannot suppose that freshmen will not have

pledges unnecessary exposure to New Jersey chicken farms where they are usually dumped, blindfolded and left with a bus token and 10^ in coin for a telephone call.

This is self-defeating for many reasons, because it is often done at the expense of much more worthwhile activities. If such a project is neces­sary, it should be done with the Brotherhood, not in spite of it. You don t want to be used as cheap labor. Why do it to a future Brother?

pledge m eet ings (os we now know them)Why have separate meetings for pledges and Brothers? This tends to

set up many communication b a rr ie rs . Open your meetings to p le d g e s^ d give yourself the opportunity to see them assume the full responsibility of Brothers. A new kind of pledge meeting should be instituted on a more informal level to discuss common problems (grades, social areas, parents, etc.)

this point.Don’t be hesitant about deleting the above items from your pledge

program. If your pledging commission has done its job, it should have been among their recommendations. Some basic guidelines might

All pledges assume full rights and privileges of a Brother in good standing. Upon acceptance of his bid at acceptance dinner, he will auto­matically become a Brother unless he voluntarily depledges.

The pledge course should take about three weeks and cons s o . chapter and local fraternity history; background of interfraternity com­munity with respect to school, community; and individual exposure o the Brotherhood and normal participation in functions.

Another useful mechanism would be for the pledges to hold a vote on their own and tell the Brotherhood when THEY feel they are ready to become Brothers. Give the pledges as much responsibility as they are capable of; the results may surprise you. They’re better educated, more worldly than you or I were at age 18. They can hack it, and hack it well.

Now that I have thoroughly shocked you, it might be wise to consider the overview of the entire situation. Nothing short of a renaissance in rush and pledge philosophy will save the fraternity system.

Sororities and fraternities as we know them are now on the way out. If they do not change, they will become defunct.

But if they do, it will not be because the comradeship and organiza­tional security offered by sororities and fraternities Is no longer need­ed. There will always be a need for this because It fulfills basic human needs. The problems arise , however, In the packaging of these com­modities and it is here change must be made. It must be made now. It must be made swiftly and with full understanding of the consequences in either direction. Fraternity men from class to class now brag about “ how hard they had It,” This must be seen for what it is worth; a very sick excuse for brutality and perverted physical activities.

The new generations of Drexel fraternity men will have to their ad­vantage a deeper understanding into fraternity affairs than we had with­out the traditional side effects of peanut butter In the hair or raw eggs In the pants.

You out there in the fra t houses who detest the establishment, realize full well that rejection of any changes to your present system constitutes a pro-establlshment position.

You have not right in the year 1969 to lower the quality of life at Drexel by continuing practices mistakenly referred to as traditions left over from the thirties.

You have no right In the year 1969 to profess the liberalism of the Aquarian age while endorsing a m aste r-se rf relationship that now exists between the bulk of the interfraternity community and the freshman c lass.

You have no right In the year 1969 to re s t on your laurels or perpetuate the endless round of blackslapplng and handing out of meaningless trophies while your very existence Is up for grabs.

If this memo solicits a juvenile response from many of my fellow bretheren, as I fear It might then the very precepts under which you are being educated have miserably failed. You should welcome change, not block It. This proposal gives all fraternities on this campus the ra re op­portunity to sponsor reform s that will quantatively change the qualityof student life at Drexel. . i

In conclusion, fraternities have a very definite place in the Drexel Community as long as they are willing to show the same degree of flex­ibility and aptitude for change as the other segments of the community have. And this has yet to be demonstrated. I await your reply.

Editor, Drexel Triangle:Anyone associated with the Drexel Greek Community understands

the hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars spent on the planning and building of the homecoming displays. The memories of these displays will last but the artistry is lost by early Sunday morning.I recommend that the Homecoming of 1970 be a community benefit. It should be one enormous fund-raising drive for the Mantua-Powel- ton community, supporting such organizations as the Mlnl-School, Young Great Society, Mantua Community Planners, etc. I recommend that in place of the displays each fraternity have a banner citing, “ All Men Are B rothers,” with this slogan being the 1970 Home­coming theme. The display efforts of the fraternities should be redirected toward raffle sales of an automobile, selling of tickete for a benefit concert (for which we might get name groups; and a large auditorium such as the Civic Center, and other fund raising drives. A benefit DAC mixer could be held with the proceeds going into the fund. Instead of the best displays winning awards, the fra ­ternities which raise the greatest amount in funds per brother (so as not to penaUze the sm aller houses) would receive an award, as well as possibly a banquet in their honor, or perhaps the so ro ri­ties would aide In the drive by promising their “ serv ices” for one Saturday for cleaning the house which did the most for the benefit

driveI recommend that the I. F. Council, the 1. F. Presidents -C o w ­

ell. the Panhellenlc Council, the CKC, The Triangle, APO SPB, the Fraternity and Sorority community, the Faculty, the Drexel Administration and the entire student body support this plan, a plan which will possibly place Drexel in a position of respect in the com­munity of Mantua, for making Homecoming a time of bettering our

homes. Robert LipmanSAM

Butch WilUams,c/o Editor, Drexel Triangle:

I have patiently waited one week for a respon­sible reply to “ glad I’m black" in the October 31 Triangle. As this response was limited to a some­what abstract quote from Dr. LeRoy A. Brothers, I feel obligated to comment.

I attempted to reply to the article immediately after reading it. This was an impossible task. The article was so inconsistent, ridiculous, poor­ly written and void of merit for its own sake, that a categorical response to such an emotional outburst was not feasible. However, the fact that the article was printed deserves comment.

At any institution of higher learning it would have greatly discredited the responsible left. It is of interest to note that the leftist faction at Drex­el *was satisfied to print such an article. Perhaps there is a John Bircher in disguise on the T ri­angle Staff.

I would suggest that if Mr. Williams hopes to become a black activist that he study both the responsible and the militant leaders of his race. Perhaps such a study would enable him to intel­ligently paraphrase the Negro’s plight without re ­sort to the ridiculous.

W. P. Darrow Met. Eng. no

Editor, Drexel Triangle;Your recent articles by Butch Williams have

prompted this letter. As I write it, I cannot help but feel as thou^ I am being baited into becom­ing involved when my better judgment tells me not to.

I will not, in fact cannot, deny that the Black man has suffered in America in the most heinous and demeaning ways imaginable. He has been de­nied Jobs, Education, Status, Wealth, and all of the other things that are part of the “ Good Life’* be­cause of his race. Great strides are being made in Civil Rights legislation to improve the Black man’s lot by laws. But what we must now realize is that laws do not eliminate prejudice and racism, they only make it illegal.

The problem for the future in race relations is the elimination of judgment or pre-judgment on the basis of race. Racial pride is a good thing if people realize the limitations of their pride. To say that you are proud to be black because whites are money grubbers and Sunday Christians sounds like the direct counterpart of “ Pm proud to be white because blacks are on welfare and get drunk on Friday n i^ t s .” Is black racism more honorable than white racism? If so, why is it more honorable?

The time has come for all people to work to free themselves of prejudice. I have no suggestions as to how this is to be accomplished, but I do know that exchanging racial slurs is not the way. Some honky just called me a nigger. So what, some nigger just called me a honky. Do you see what Pm trying to say? Why can’t people try to make it together? If they don’t, the end result will be a ridiculous racial bloodbath.

Mr. Williams said that he was going to tell his story. Perhaps he can tell whites just what it is that his people want. Tell your story, but be care ­ful that in telling it you do not become just like the whites you spoke about in the October 31 Triangle.

Mike Quitter CBA »70

Butch Williams,c /o Editor, Drexel Triangle:

I, too, am glad you’re black, because if you were of my race, there would be just one more white bigot to discredit it. Has it ever occurred to you that a Black Militant and a Klansman are not opposites that cancel each other, but similars that breed their own kind? The objectivity you lay claim to has no grounds. Not one person out of childhood does not see the world through “ tinted g lasses.” (See if any sociology course won't back that up.) But some of us manage to prevent our bias (i.e. feelings) from becoming prejudice (i.e. actions).

Yes, your blanket description fits a number of whites, but the only solution you offer to apathy is hate. Well, the malice and prejudice you harbor Isn’t beautiful just because it’s black. White or black, i t ’s repulsive.

Why don’t you shed your blinders and see if there isn’t something else beautiful about being black besides as an alternative to being white?

Of course the Triangle, trying to win fame as a liberal paper wouldn’t think of printing so con­servative a viewpoint—especially when It’s ex­pressed without the use of four-letter words.

Chris Mllloy

Editor, Drexel Triangle:Is Butch Williams incapable of seeingthat the In­

sult rendered to his readers in his article “ glad I ’m black” is exactly the same thing rendered to his mother last week (Triangle, Nov. 17)? Mr. Williams was Incensed by this incident. How many people did Mr. Williams incense by his blanket insult? Will these people assist him in his striving for equality? Only if they have love, love strong enough to overcome the antagonism generated by his obvious hatred.

Richard J. Grandzol

Editor, Drexel Triangle:In last Friday’s edition, there was a lot ad­

vocating Drexel’s role in making the neighborhood of the campus a better place for the residents as well as the Drexel students. The Triangle advo­cates the school’s projects such as the mini­school and the rebuilding of our version of the Chinese wall along Haverford Avenue.

Butch William’s column dealt with the way a youth called his mother a “ nigger,” the way black men and women are forced into farm labor for pennies an hour and the way Bobby Seale was bound and gagged in a “ Chi” courtroom. He talks about the white prejudices and injustices. It’s fun­ny, though, he said nothing about the two white Drexel students who were stabbed two weeks ago by six black youths, in an “ unprovoked attack,” so termed by the Triangle. Why is it that the Triangle only prints 5 lines about that in an in­conspicuous place, whereas Butch Williams is given a half of a page (plus a picture)? Why is the T ri­angle so one sided? It only portrays Drexel’s crim es against the community. Our crimes are that we make the neighborhood uglier by a wall, and that we are apathetic to the community’s needs. But at least Drexel students don’t go knif­ing neighborhood youths (and I use that term loosely). Is it more in vogue or in fashion to feel sorry for the other guy when he tries to kill you and knife you? Pm not saying our Mantua programs are bad, because I support them. What I ’m saying is that the Triangle shouldn’t be so one-sided and should be a lot less liberal. It should give “ equal space” to show what the neighborhood is doing to us rather than just tell what we’re doing to the neighborhood.

Y. B, Kahn, *73

i m p e r s o n a t i o n

Editor, Drexel Triangle:On Thursday, November 6, I witnessed an officer of Drexel’s

ROTC approach a student In a fatigue jacket with officer inslg. nla on the pocket. The student was accused of impersonating an officer and told to remove the b rass or the officer would call the police; much to my dismay, the insignia were removed by the young man.

May I ask you sir , if the law could be construed to define this incident as the hideous offense you felt it was, did you handle the situation In the proper manner? I assume you are here at Drexel as an Educator, Is this method common in the field of education? Is it common policy on our campus to handle problems by threat of punitive action by civil authorities?

After doing your duty you continued on your way with an ap­pearance of satisfaction, apparently your objectives accomplished. May I be so bold as to question your motives?

I feel I should point out what you did accomplish. You should be aware that there is a growing concern over the stability of our military personnel by the public and as a resu lt of your ac­tions there are a few more people that have a few more reasons to doubt.

I anxiously await your reply. You now have the opportunity to demonstrate the Intellectual capacity of the U.S. Army per­sonnel— you failed once; try a litUe harder this time.

Editor, Drexel Triangle;The majority of the great silent majority, which may not be

a majority at all, sincerely feels that P resident Nlxon*s unsched­uled timetable is the only solution. The week-end hippies, pseudo­liberals and those who believe if you ride in the middle of the road you*ll never get hurt are satisfied. They can return to work­ing for the bureaucracy without any guilt feelings because Mister Nixon has told them, “ For the future of peace, precipitate with­drawal would... be a d isaster of immense magnitude.** I never say anyone who was telling the truth sweat.

The President openly admitted that the war, from Johnson, is a mistake. Our brothers in the world know It as more than a mistake. Once such a gross e r ro r is made you can paint over it one thousand times with red, white and blue and still it will appear uglier than ever. America, God is not on our side.

While our President is sending “ sec re t messages** and play­ing other games justified as national policy, our friends are com­ing home in wooden boxes and still o thers are leaving home for Canada.

The days after the “ verbal void,*’ I talked with members of the GSMFA (Great Silent Majority of Fellow Americans) about the speech. They told me President Nixon had clearly spelled out to them, “ Why we got involved in Vietnam.** I kept asking them to spell “ Dien Bien Phu.” They didn*t know.

The speech, which could have been made by Lyndon B. John­son except for the phrase, “ Let me make it clear,*’ was aimed at those who were undecided about the November 15 March on Washington. The dominant reason given for supporting Mr. Nixon is, if we leave the South Vietnamese people will be massacred. Did the North slaughter the South when General Lee surrendered in our civil war?

The order not to march on Pennsylvania Avenue is reminiscent of Major Daley*s tactics. They feel by keeping the main portion of peaceful protesters on Constitution Avenue, they can beat the heads of those who have the audacity to think they can assemble anywhere and “ unlawfully march on Pennsylvania.*’ The press will show the bruised bodies and Spiro Agnew will have a field day when he says “ are you going to listen to that violent minority of communist-backed, hippie, speed-freak weirdoes.*’ Be a pa­triot, back our boys In Vietnam and bring them home, now. Let Spiro call you a “ hippie** or even an “ old fool** but support the March on W ashington, November 15.

Ithenatureofurbanstudies

by dr. jo s e p h a . r a f f a e l e

The question of Urban Studies suggests three relevant points: What is an urban community? What is the nature of its problems? What role can a technological university play in the urban pro­blem?

A community is a geographical area, such as a neighborhood, a municipality or a broad ecological area, whose population is related by virtue of its educational facilities, residences, churches, transportation, leisure activity and business. The functions of such units are related in varying degree so as to achieve com­munity order. The absence of integrative mechanisms in the community and the presence of different cultural groups may produce warring factions with no commonly accepted rules of the game.

Not all communities are urban communities. By urban is meant a community affected by the urban process. The urban process re fe rs to dynamic forces such as physical environment, population density and mix, economy, institutions and technology, that produce behavior which is complex. Interdependent, conflicting, specialized and bureaucratized. The term s urban and urbanization are not synonymous, the latter referring to the aggregation of population into dense areas,

A major problem of urban communities arises from their changing human capacities on the one hand and the sophisticated skills needed for their survival on the other. To analyze this complex problem, the inputs, so-called, in the urban process, can be classi­fied as follows:

Environment (housing, food, public buildings, transportation, air, water, noise). Economy (production and distribution of goods and services), Manpower (its development, utilization and con­servation), and Institutions (the Processes by which inputs enter the system; the principal ones being government, the political process, the educational system and the family).

The relationship of these inputs are non-linear In character. Investment in inputs are interrelated. For example, a marginal investment in housing may produce greater returns in manpower development than if the investment were direct.

The term urban studies refers to instruction and research in this urban process. Urban community services refers to assist­ance In urban problems, sim ilar to the service of land grant col­leges developed in early American history for rural society. Urban studies and urban community services have a reinforcing

effect on each other. Thus, the operation of extension services improves the quality of instruction and research. And such im­proved instruction and research provides opportunities for the transfer of urban specialists and urban technology to the urban community.

Once the university in the urban community is drawn into con­flict with community elements, it has a choice of maintaining an arms-length approach or facilitating the development of a mechanism of functional relationships. In choosing the second alternative, the university must focus on its basic role of gathering and disseminating knowledge.

The strategy of developing a positive mechanism is through the development and transfer to the urban community of urban specialists and urban technology. Centers for Urban Studies and Services reflect the different motives of those who create them and the resources of the Institution, Their common denominator is a commitment to the urban condition In term s of Instruction, research and extension services, Camegle-Mellon, a technologi­cal university, has a School for Urban Affairs consisting of in­struction to train individuals in urban affairs, urban research (both theoretical and applied) and urban services. Its director has a specialization in economics and management, with two assistants, one in engineering and the other in social science.

How can a technological university such as Drexel make a planned commitment to urban studies and services? Presently, there exists a graduate program in Environmental Engineering and Science. A four year funding support for a Manpower grad­uate program is presently foreseeable. If my prem ises are valid, its thrust should be through graduate instruction and a continuing dialogue between graduate students, faculty and manpower tech­nicians in the urban community, the development and transfer of manpower specialists and manpower technology to the urban community, A spin-off of such ej?)erience would be the strength­ening of existing undergraduate courses that relate to urban pro­blems. In addition, an interdisciplinary dialogue should be in­stituted between spokesmen for the environmental engineering program, the manpower program and a cohesively developed econo­mics and social science program on the graduate level. The weak­est link presently is a graduate program in urban institutional processes.

Assuming the evolution of the three crucial programs of en­vironment, economics and manpower, and planned long-range fund­ing, a Center for Urban Studies and Services can be foreseen after a minimum three years of operational experience.

By Rich BeasonThere is usually a time during

any team’s career in which it has a period of incapability in its own sport. This period may be short or long in duration or exist all the time or not ever exist at all. It is a rare occasion when a team never has this trouble with its sport and it is also rare to be happening here at Drexel. The Drexel Varsity Bowling Team is Drexel's ex­ample of this phenomenon. For the past four weeks the team has been unmatched by another team in its ability to win games, it is 12 for 12 with a season record of 15-3 which leads the league by four games.

The match last week was an­other rout, this time of Vil- lanova University. The varsity averaged 910 (2730 total pins) per game of 973 pins, and amass­

ed a total of 232 pins over Vil- lanova by the end of the match. Some notable contributions were made by two of the team members. Rich Beason bowled 243-175-202-620 which was high for the team and George Barn- shaw 180-211-199-590. This is not to say the res t of the team was not contributing for a team is made of five men with one man no more important than an­other.

Next week’s match is against Penn State Ogontz with a record of 8 -1 0 on the season. The matches in the following weeks are critical but the team in all sincerity wants to be that one team which is known for its ability to cope with any situation which might arise during its endeavors. The DREXEL VARSITY BOWL­ING TEAM’S lot is only victory, defeat is not possible.

a row, the Dragons fell to Penn’s strongest team in a long time.

“ Our guys” finally scored another goal, from the foot of reactivated junior Chet Knapp. One goal is good enough to win in some games, but not when the other team scores five of them.

For about ten minutes into the f irs t quarter it looked as if the Delaware squad had shooting drills around stationary, bored defenders; the defenders being from D.LT. When the Dragons finally woke up and began to play ball, the score was 3-0. Then Chet scored his goal togetDrex- el on the move. Well, at least they started to pass.

A number of other oppor­tunities arose for the booters throughout the half, but none of them were put into the net. The half ended with Delaware on top, 3-1.

The Dragons continued to do­minate, with a fairly good pass­ing game but were not on tar­get. It -seems that the opponents’ penalty area is an inhibited zone on Wednesdays and Saturday’s, while the middle of the field and the DIT penalty area are very highly used. Although lack of support to the offensive line by the midfielders was apparent; the defense held up fairly well, through the second half as Dela­ware scored only one goal from the field. Another goal was scored midway through the last period as the ball was handled by Terry Bodman in the penalty area. The ball would have scored without his hands. Natural reaction, eh Terry? This brought the total to four penalty kicks against Drexel.

After viewing the soccer team through eight weeks of practice and eight games, this w riter feels that the big problem is cohesive­ness in the team. An organiza­tion can only function when the people work together and know what each other will do in a given situation.

PK P 21- T E P 13In a game played two weeks

ago, Pi KAP edged TEP 21-13. Both teams had a rough time moving because of the rain and mud. PI KAP scored on a 45 yard punt return by Steve Pa- citti, a 30 yard pass to Tom Schneider from Joe Piechoski and a 10 yard run by Piechoski. John Shivers caught all three extra points. TEP, meanwhile, scored on Phil Cross to Gib­son and Cross to Larry Mittle- man pass plays, Masterton and Tom Wolf each had two inter­ceptions for TEP, while Tom MacCray had one for PI KAP.

TKE 32-SAM 12Sammy jumped off to a 12-6

lead due to some fine running by Ken Herr. H err scored on

a long “ bomb” from Joff Far. ber and ran a TKE kickoff back but this was not quite enough as TKE’s Defense “ closed the door” after that. Rich Tedisco threw four touchdown passes, two to Don Rockledge, and one each to Bill Pontin and Mike Chain, J e r ry Maden ran an interception back for TKE’s final score,

DSP 3 3 - P S K 26

DSP and PSK were involved in a so rt of track meet Sunday. Bob Polilli threw for five scores two to Mike Morlino and Harry W eaver and one to Joe Anthony, Gary Edwards almost matched that total as he threw two apiece to Mike ChomikandBenSokolow- ski. In an offense-minded game Joe Anthony came out as the defensive s ta r , intercepting three of Edward’s passes.

Cage Curfew CutDrexel is currently a team

without a home basketball court, but through the cooperation of the University of Pennsylvania, the Dragons are using Penn’s Palestra for practices. The on­ly problem is that Szymanski and his charges must wait un­til Penn’s Freshman, J-V, and Varsity teams have finished practice. “ Our practices are scheduled from 9:00 to 11;00 p.m., “ Szymanski stated, “ but by the time the kids shower, change and drive themselves home it’s midnight or la ter.”

When Drexel opens their sea­son on December 3, they will be playing on a new Tartan Sur­face basketball court in the Ar­mory at 33rd Street and Lan­caster Avenue in Philadelphia. A series of delays in construc­tion have pushed the completion date for the new court back to

Despite the circ les under his eyes from lack of sleep, Szy­manski is far from discouraged;

“ I’d ra ther practice in the Pa­le s tra at 3 o’clock in the mor­ning, than go back to a junior high school.” (For the past several years Drexel has played and practiced at Sayre Junior High School, 58th and Walnut Streets.) “ A junior high at­mosphere just wasn’t conducive to the way we’re trying to up­grade our basketball program.”

“ The Palestra , on the other hand, is just g reat,” he con­tinued. “ Even with the stands empty and at 11 o’clock at night there’s an electricity there that makes a kid feel like he can jump six inches higher than he ever jumped before, and when he takes a shot he knows the ball is going in the basket. That kind of atmosphere is worth about ten points a game to the home team, and when we move into our own court, we’re going to take some of that atmosphere with us. I don’t know who’s more anxious to get into that armory, the kids or m e,”

This being Moratorium Week, It would have been an excellent opportunity for an effete intellectual not to produce a column, but the risk was being included In the silent majority. Moreover, my loyal reader, who shall remain anonymous and probably alone, prevailed upon me to go to the well just once more. However, I would be less than candid if I Ignored the vocal minority of pro­tes to rs who have raised objection to my previous efforts and, although the policies of this column cannot be made in the stree ts , one must take them into consideration.

Prim arily , these objections consist of complaints that this weekly effort deals more with politics than it does with hockey, something I vehemently deny. Rumors have been circulating that captured documents at the Spectrum have labeled this a political plot. Be that as It may and It may be as it Is, this week I have been threatened with removal to the editorial page and my seat at the Spectrum has been bugged.

The Montreal game ended antl-cllmactlcally as a result of that unique hockey strategy In favor of an extra forward; the philosophy being that defeat is all and the magnitude of It Irre le ­vant. No political comment Intended.

Vic Stasluk, troubled by the defensive policies of his no-wln team , opted for some troop replacements rather than withdrawals and redeployed a number of his lines for the games with the Seals, Although it Is customary to offer them piscatorial pro­vender, we pretended it was Christmas and presented them with a tie , not even one of the loud or flowery variety. In any case, it was the Seals who played for the tie and only got it through the spectacular goaltendlng of Charlie Hodge, resembling Seals ra ther than their Panther neighbors, more Seal than Seale,

The game had some interesting features Including the Inevita­ble extra-legal fisticuffs which occasionally dot hockey games but had been somewhat limited this season. Critics are always asking about hockey fights, comparing such barbarism unfavorably with the more "pacific games of football, baseball and chess. One should discuss them. F irs t, It is impossible to throw a de­cent punch on skates and usu^ly outside Invaders break it up before it becomes serious. Second, the amount of covert pro­vocation that goes on makes it necessary, on occasion, to take a stand against continued aggression lest appeasement be mis­interpreted, Many referees see their function as God In a Nlet- szchlan universe and, being dead, all things are perm issible. Thus, in the privacy of the corners, assorted elbows arid sticks find available limbs to be deposited on; the only way to discourage this being a preventive strike.

Such a fracas took place In the Oakland game. Earl Heiskala, a leftwing militant with a propensity for violent confrontations was nonetheless given a permit to play and immediately planted an elbow in the face of Carole Vadnals who, after issuing a warn­ing through diplomatic channels, swung his stick at Heiskala*s

What Is the explanation for this underpar showing? Knowing Tom’s love for running, I cannot blame him for intentionally slouching. Another answer is needed. To unravel this mystery one must delve into a number of factors. For one thing, Tom has since been m arried. To compli­cate matters, he holds a job at the Franklin Institute so that he can provide for his lovely wife and two-year old son (both of whom faithfully attend all of Drexel’s meets). Although they certainly do have some w e i^ t , and rightly so, these a re not the largest influences* The greatest single item in my opinion, is that Tom is an extremely nervous

individual, I believe that he psyches himself out too easily before and during a race. If this be the sorry case, then he is af­flicted with a habit that has hindered athletes throughout the ages. But, this tra it is not in­surmountable! However, with the MAC championship but one week away; time is running out. It would be a damn shame for his inspiring career to end on a note of mediocrity when a good con­clusion is possible if he could tem porarily alleviate his ner­vousness. Tom, if you are read­ing this article, I beseech you to heed this advice. Relax, clear your mind of everything else, and simply do what you enjoy so much, that is, just runl _____

nose. Things escalated until our local hero, taking the righteous stand against such aggression, swung at his antagonist’s face.

Such conflagrations have their universal aspect and Garv Pe­te rs , E arl's Unemate and ally, entered the fray originally in an advisorly capacity but Inevitably as a combatant. The so rt of rhetoric exchanged on such occasions has been known to offend the more affluent patrons who pay for the privilege. It cannot be reproduced here as such expressions are only at the disposal of feature w riters of particular backgrounds. Suffice It to say that the legendary Reggie Fleming, now a Flyer, has often shocked lip readers on many a hockey telecast. When asked by a naive r e ­porter what he actually said to Bobby during a tussle he teported blandly: “ Robert, I ’ve all my respect for you.” A stalemate, if not a truce, was reached and the offenders were banished from the arena, the aggressor (the one from the opposition) and the staunch defender of the good and the true (our man) received equal punishment. So much for justice.

The crowd, horrified by the violence, nevertheless recognized the right of self-defense. Therein lies the danger of hockey fights. Hockey players seek the approval of their constituencies and when their performances fall short, they gain approval from the s i ­lent majority by becoming engaged In a war and asking the crowd to unify behind them, thus going from incompetent to hero in a matter of minutes, waving the colors for all to fall behind.

The other unique hockey feature of the Seals contest was the play of captain Ed Van Impe, his usual superb shot-blocking self. He blocked one unwisely but well with his mouth and dis­colored the Ice considerably, making It look like raspberry Ices, However, In hockey tradition, the show goes on and thirty stitches and five missing teeth later, Ed appeared on the Ice for the third period. It has been said unkindly that hockey players are a p ri­mitive species that regenerate organs but It Is clear that injuries which keep baseball players out for six weeks do not affect hockey players at all. It was rumored during training camp for Instance, that a player had died and would be out for two or three weeks.

Once again I am at the end of my tether and have neglected to billboard coming events, particularly the L,A, Kings who feature a quick but sloppy goaltender, Je rry Desjardins, Eddie Shack who skates as if he is In the Ice Capades and shoots that way too, for­mer Flyer Leon Rochefort and Ross Lonsberry, a hockey player of great exposure. Recently, he was fined fifty dollars for exposing his d e rrie re to three delicate young things out on the coast who were presumably offended by It, although It was only a tribute to American moon explorations, A man of such talent will exhibit himself in the Spectrum on Thursday and one should not miss it. Remember, hockey has no penalty for backfield Illegally In motion. You may read political significance into that.

Defense is key to big win over Del Val

THE DRAGON DEFENSE does it again. The story of Drexel's

win over heavy favorite Delaware Valley College was once a-

gain the defensive unit. The Dragon D.squad stopped their op­

ponents six times within the 20 yard line in the exciting game

last week. Whether it was the line and linebackers (see above)

ofcoaches Harry Alexander and Jim M il l ,o r the defensive back-

field (picture on the right) of coach John Bore, they stopped the

Aggies when they had to, and that was the game.

And today’s twenty-one dollar question is: Who is the elder co­captain of Drexel’s cross-coun- try squad? This query’s answer is Tom Dawning, a wiry, red­headed, senior business adminis­tration major who hails from Toms River, New Jersey, How­ever, please don’t feel badly if you didn’t know the solution, as his name has not previously ap­peared in this column this year. It should seem odd that a var­sity team’s leader was not even mentioned in their activities but the reason is quite valid. As of this point in the season, his per­formance has fallen far short of warranting headlines. I’m sure this brings some pangs of re ­morse to those who know Tom and his past accomplishments.

During his freshman year, Downing displayed a promise of future stardom with his fine run­ning ability. He set the Drexel record (now held by Dave Rhein- heimer) when he covered the five mile Belmont Plateau course in 29:21, The following year, which saw him knock eight seconds off this time, produced even greater deeds. It was fittingly complet­ed when he captured seventh place in the MAC championship. This was the apex of Tom’s racing career at Drexel, Just like all other athletes at our fine insti­tution who are eligible for a

particular sport only four of their five years here, Tom sat out dur­ing his pre-junior season. This was a most unfortunate choice for him because he did not run during his leave of absence. When he returned to co-captain the team with Rheinheimer in the fall of 1968, something had been lost. Although he managed to place in most of the meets and still possessed his spunky spirit, he did not measure up to the great expectations that others held for him; he was not winning races or even running with times as good as his previous marks. Overall, he was a big disappoint­ment for all concerned.

Everyone looked for a strong comeback from Tom in his final year. Thus far, he has yet to re ­gain his earlier form, much to the regret of all those who had eagerly anticipated the 1969 season. To cite an example, this past Saturday our h a rrie rs won a double dual meet against Rider College (20 to 43) and the Uni­versity of Scranton (17 to 46). Fine performances were turned in by such Dragons as BobKush- ner, Glen Lysinger and Eric Henke Is, as we took e i ^ t of the firs t ten positions, Tom was not among these finishers, as he placed a meager twelfth (tenth for DIT) with a time of over thirty- one minutes.

Drexel quarterback Bill Baer, flanker Huntsinger, and split end Greg Dubas broke five school records and equalled another in last Saturday’s win over Dela­ware Valley College.

Baer did most of the record setting as he accounted for four of the new marks. His 232 yards in total offense and 256 yards in passing bettered the old one game records of 219 yards (set by Baer last year against Lehigh) and 253 yards (set by Gene Hug against Ursinus in 1952) respectively, Billy’s 14 for 29 completion record gave him 72 completions for the season breaking the old record of 65 which he set last year. He also broke the career completion rec ­ord of 134, with his new total of 146 going into the final game

this Saturday,Huntsinger, who had three re ­

ceptions for 138 yards and one touchdown, extended his pre­viously set one-season record to 31 receptions. His 446 yards gained receiving this year have already passed the old mark of 406 yards set by lies Wuhop in 1956.

Dubas tied Chuck F arre ll’s 1965 record for receptions in one game, as he grabbed eight of Baer’s aerials for 78 yards and one touchdown, Greg also built his Drexel career recep­tion record to 58,

All three players will .be hoping to add to their records when the Dragons play host to Kings Point tomorrow. It won’t be easy however, the Mariners are number two in the nation in total defense, giving up only 132,4 yards per game.

The captain of last year’s freshmen team, Glen was selected because of his strong personal showing in running to a f irs t place finish along with four of his teammates for a shutout victory over the Lebanon Valley College harriers .

Although he has been running all year with a severe knee in­jury, Glen has not let this handi­cap keep him from becoming a valuable member of Coach Miller*s team. The sophomore mechanical engineer will be counted on to add much to the Drexel effort in the MAC cham­pionships later this month, A fine, dedicated runner, Glen Ly­singer will add much to the future of cross-country at Drexel,

The Drexel Dragons won their third game last Saturday at Drexel field, upsetting Delaware Valley 13 to 7, Again, as In the past, the Dragon defense played the biggest role in the victory, stopping the Aggies six times insidr their own twenty and three times inside the ten. It was a rea l shocker to our local n e w s p ^ r s , who had predicted a Dragon loss by 13 points.

^ 'oe law lre Valley began a long 21-play drive early in the firs t half. They were stopped cold on the Drexel one-yard line with some of the toughest de­defense I have seen all year. The Dragons, with their backs to the wall, were unable to move beyond the five, where Lynn Fergusen ca rried out his punting duty. The Aggies took over on the Dragon 44 but again were stopped b>- our defense at the 37 where Drexel took over on downs. The second quarter had

just begun when Bill Baer, from the 37, dropped back behind his brick wall of offensive linemen and tossed a long bomb to Wayne Huntsinger for the Dragon’s first touchdown. Lynn Fergusen bootedthe ex tra point.

The Aggies scored in the clos­ing minutes of the half. It all began when Drexel end TomGod- onis recovered a Delaware Val­ley fumble on the Dragon 15, Drexel advanced the ball to their own 38 were forced to punt. A wall of Aggies was built on the

left side of the field as Del Val back Andy Timko sprinted 75 yards for the lone Delaware touchdown. A successful extra point was kicked, tying up the score 7 to 7 at half tim e.

Second half

The second half kickoff was taken by Delaware Valley to their 34. Seven plays later they were knocking on the Dragon’s end zone doors from the 10. On the eighth play Lynn Fergusen picked off an Aggie pass on the five, and Drexel took over. The Dragons began to drive up-field with Mike Kirwan to the 8 and Dan Miller to the 24 for a first down, Gregg Dubas took the next two Baer passes to the 33 and 35 for another first down. Three plays later. Bill Baer dropped back and fired another bomb to Wayne Huntsinger who was tacked at the Delaware Valley seven yard line, Gregg Du­bas pulled down another Baer pass, after being tipped in the a ir, for the Dragon’s final six pointer. The PAT was no good but Drexel took the lead to stay at 13 to 7.

The Aggies wouldn’t give up. On the following series of downs after Drexel’s score, they drove to the Dragon 17 yard line where they were stopped on downs after 19 plays. About midway into the final period the Aggies were again threatening from inside the Drexel 10, But again the Dragon defense played some hard nose ball and stopped the drive on the seven yard line.

The closing minutes of the game saw Delaware Valley strug­gling for another touchdown. Dragon linebacker Harry Schumacher stopped almost all Aggie hopes when he blocked a Del Val p ^ t and put Drexel in possession on the Delaware 39, The*Dragons held on until only 51 seconds remained on the clock. Delaware Valley fouled to move beyong their own 30 and Drexel took over as the game ended.

The statistics tell the game story. Delaware Valley ran for 254 yards and 25 firs t downs on the ground, while Drexel gained 39 for 11 first downs. The victory was definitely attained by the strong defense that Drexel threw at the Aggies. The offen­sive line played it tough time after time, protecting quarterback Baer, who threw for 256 yards. Delaware Valley’s aerial gain totaled 169 yards.

The Dragons will meet Kings Point tomorrow at Drexel field in their final contest of the season. This could very well turn out to be one of Drexel’s toughest matches. A big turnout at the game would most assuredly help, so if you can, try to make the kickoff at 1:30.

When the Drexel Dragons take the field this Saturday, it will be the last time that fourteen of the team members wear the Blue and Gold. The fourteen seniors completing their varsity careers are: captains Ed Mattio and Bill Baer, Stan Czermanski, Greg Dubas, Bob Enoch, Carl Hertrich, Wayne Huntsinger, Mike Kirwan, Paul McGloin, Steve McNichol, Harry Schumacher, Don Scott, Pete Sculley, and Ed Wieland! These players have provided the keystone around which coaches Tom Grebis and SterUng Brown built their teams, and they de­serve great credit for the dedi­cation and effort they have put forth over the past three years. The Triangle and the student body take this opportunity to congratu­late these players for their ac­complishments.

Coach Yonker changed the po­sitioning of his men somewhat. He placed senior John Lockard on the forward line as a strike alongside sophomore George Herschkowitz. This left sopho­mores Bruce Paige and Lance Deane to fill in as midfielders.

The ever present drizzle of last week began after the opening whistle and continued throughout the game, making the cold condi­tions even worse.

A penalty kick was scored as a re ­sult of a foul in the penalty area. This was caused by rough rather than unfair play and these things can be expected. Drexel had a few opportunities in the first

quarter, but the opposition began to pound the goal tended by Jim­my Loughran.

The defense couldn’t stand the p ressu re and the goals started to poor in. The Dragons* passing was inconsistent and shoddy,^ never seeming to make a string of more than two passes. Of course, this was the downfall of the team. At the end of the half the score was 4-0 favoring the Quakers.

The half time talk was one of re s t as the team knew what was happening. By this time a victory was remote and the objective was to stop the opposition. The defense did tighten up as Jim Loughran played an outstanding game in the goal. The shots that went in, no goalie would have been able to stop. With a problem in defense, the goalkeeper can do nothing. T^o more balls dented our nets during the half bringing the score to 6-0.

Larry Pauls, In the left back position, showed definite im­provement as a defender. After tying the Quakers two seasons in
