on advice of her AUB adviser.After returning to Georgetown on
Tuesday morning, Ms. Bright learned thatGeorgetown had sent a cable to the twostudents advising them to return to the

RUTH BRIGHTU.S. and informing them that their Beirutprogram was cancelled. Cables are notbeing delivered due to the fighting lines,however. Only satellite communications toAUB were arriving, according to Ms.Bright.
Ms. Bright took the next available nightto the U.S. and Ms..Jansen, thinking thesemester lost, flew to Amman and thenLondon, continuing to New York.
Ms. Bright said that Georgetown University has not yet been able to reach Ms.Jansen. "She was going to stay In Londonto sight-see for awhile because she did notthink Georgetown would be setting up analternative program of study."
Meanwhile the Housing Office haslocated a room for Ms. Bright on campus.With just what she brought with her fromBeirut, Ms. Bright is staying with friends ina dormitory until permanent housingarrangements are completed.
Exhausted from her ordeal and overcoming jet lag after nearly 30 hours withlittle sleep, Ms. Bright, on her first nightback fell asleep while trying to catch up onher academic reading.
GU Students Leave LebanonAmid Mortar Fire, Gun Battle
Scenes from Beirut Street fighting that appeared this week in TIME magazine. (Photo byUPI).
by Melaine BierosAmid the pounding noise of gun shots,
bombings and mortar fire, Americans weredaprting Beirut this week on strong adviceof the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. Among theestimated 5,000 who have left Beirutduring the factional strife were George-.town University students Ruth Bright (SLL'77) and Christine Jansen (SFS '77).
"We received word Sunday afternoon,Beirut time, that the American governmentwas ordering the evacuation of all nonessential government personnel from thecountry, Ms. Bright said in an interview.
"Although they couldn't order nongovernment persons to leave, we wereurged to do so," she said.
"We were on our own to get out of thecountry. They told us to make our plansand to get to our own destinations bywhatever means we could while we still hadthe chance," Ms. Bright said.
Ms. Bright, who was studying on aGeorgetown program at the AmericanUniversity of Beirut (AUB), did not wait tosee if the truce would hold. Newspaperaccounts in the United States are notoptimistic about the future of the trucewhich has resulted in a "cease-fire" duringthis fourth round of "troubles" betweenvarious Lebanese factions. Ms. Bright saidthat she had become used to the almostconstant sound of gunfire.
Director of International Programs theRev. Harold Bradley, S.J. said that the twostudents will get refunds from the program.In addition, the students' Deans areworking out tutorial programs so that theywill not miss the semester.
"The semester had not begun at all inBeirut," when the program was dismantled," Ms. Bright explained.
"I was not frightened because I knewthere was no reason to be. As long as youfollow directions of the embassy and theuniversity, you are safe," she noted.
When the situation became critical,classes at the university were postponed fora third time and Ms. Bright madeimmediate plans for her return to the U.S.

ports" Ralston's decision. Two othersenators sat on the 3 member committee.
In a written statement, Ralston said themajor factor in the decision was "which ofthe candidates will do the best job securinga dynamic leader as Georgetown's nextPresident. I believe this person to be JackLeslie.
"Jack's qualifications are many, hisability to work with the Board of Directorsand the Search Committee foremost amongthem," the Ralston statement said.
Madden called Leslie not the type of"member I would want on the committee.I don't think he has the desire to look backto the roots of the University."
Student Body Vice-President DennisMcCarthy said that when the nomination isexplained and "people know the benefitsthat Jack has, everyone will be reasonable.If you compare all the factors, Jack comesout on top."
Student Senator Rick Haas (SBA'77)also said he will work to defeat thenomination, "for continuity's sake. Thesearch will probably last through thesummer and may well go into next year.The status of a senior will be uncertain. Wemight have to go through a new nomination."
Haas said the outcome of a Senate votewould depend "on the new freshmanSenators. Otherwise I think it's pretty wellsplit."
Leslie said he was "really excited"about being picked, adding "this is going todetermine the general direction of theUniversity in the years to come. I intend tospend a hell of a lot of time looking for adynamic, accessible, creative president."
The former student body leader discounted his senior year status as animportant issue. "Most students have thesame ideas on what a good president is.The issue is who can best articulate theseconcerns. I intend to stick around nextsummer, and into next year if necessary. aslong as it takes to find a good president.
56th Year, No. 10
by Barry Wiegand
Jack Leslie (SFS'76) is the undergraduate student nominee to the UniversityPresidential Search Committee, StudentBody President Dave Ralston announcedyesterday.
A battle in the Senate over confirmingthe nomination is brewing, however.Several student senators have expressedtheir intentions to try to defeat Leslie'snomination and have criticized Ralston fornominating a senior who would no longerbe a undergraduate if the Presidentialsearch continues into the summer or fall.
Reliable sources on the Board ofDirectors said that the search committeewould have made their decisions by June30, although the new president might nottake office until the beginning of theschool year.
Ralston picked Leslie, his predecessor ashead of Student Government, from a list offour names submitted by a specialscreening group chaired by Student Senator Joe Lhota (SBA'76).
Ralston also created an advisory panelconsisting of himself, Dennis McCarthy,Joe Lhota, Joint House Council ChairmanPeter Plantes, and Student Academic BoardChairman Mary Leonard. He said the groupwould advise Leslie about the "desires ofthe student body and give (Leslie)direction."
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON, D.C.
------------------
Jack Leslie takes into his newposition as a member of the PresidentialSearch Committee, a reputation as oneof Georgetown's most experienced andcompetent student leaders.
Leslie has held only one electedstudent office-Student Body President-which he held during his junioryear, the only head of Student Government who was not a senior.
Less than a month after takingoffice, Leslie received national publicityfor supporting then Executive VicePresident the Rev. Edmund G. Ryan,SJ, who IUJd been fired by UniversityPresident the Rev. R.J. Henle, SJ.
After the Ryan firing, Leslie andseveral other key student leaders drafteda lengthy report of the Universityadministration, which was the basis fora thorough revamping of the structureof Georgtown's administra tive structureordered by the Board of Directors.
Student Senator Leo Madden (Coll.'77)said he would work to defeat thenomination on the Senate floor, butconceded "the cards are stacked against us.It doesn't look good."
Lhota said that everyone on his panel"will support the nomination," adding, "IJust hope that Jack Leslie does contactother schools and keep in touch withstudents and not do what Jack wants, butwhat the students want."

nity," she said, noting that 63 percent of the electorate believe thatwomen are not "emotionallv wellsuited" for politics.
Dr. Kirkpatrick added that themore politically active a womanis, the more likely she is to believethat both sexes are equally qualified for political ambition.
Only 25 per cent of womendelegates believe women are notemotionally well-suited for politics, and virtually no womenofficeholders hold this view, according to the Government professor.
"I think this is very interestingpolitical behavior," Dr. Kirkpatrick said in regard to the resultof her studies. "I didn't knowbefore how difficult it is for awoman to develop the selfconfidence and social skillsneeded to move into politicaloffice. "
Ms. Kirkpatrick stressed thatwomen and men tend to thinkalike politically, even or so-calledwomen's issues such as feminismand abortion.
The Government professoradded, however. that women wereless enthusiastic than men aboutthe use of force and coercion inthe area of foreign policy. According to Prof. Kirkpatrick,fewer women than men werewilling to commit US forcesabroad or use nuclear weapons incase of war.
Ms. Kirkpatrick is the authorof an earlier book, PoliticalWoman, which was based oninterviews with about fifty successful women state legislators.Her latest work is scheduled toappear next June or July.
Presidential Elite will be published by the Russell Sage Foundation, who along with theTwentieth Century Fund furnished a $250,000 grant forKirkpatrick's study of PresidentialConvention delegates.
by Greg KitsockFar fewer women than men
want to run for a high politicaloffice, but those who do thinkmuch like male politicians, according to Government professorJeane Kirkpatrick.
"There aren't any women'sissues, only political issues. Whenmen and" women disagree,opinions follow ideology ratherthan sex," she said.
Kirkpatrick bases these observations on the results of a studyof delegates to the Republicanand Democratic Presidential Conventions in 1972. Face-to-faceinterviews were conducted withabout 1500 delegates of bothsexes as part of her new book onthe role of women in politics,Presidential Elites.
Dr. Kirkpatrick said shewanted to find out "why so fewwomen run for public office,"adding that a woman's conceptionof feminity might be one reason.
"Many women still believe thatmen are the natural governors ofsociety. and seeking and holdingpower is incompatible with femi-
independent. Finally he must be able to workwith people, rather than have people work forhim."
Although Schlosser won't officially befaced with that challenge until January. hewill spend the rest of this semester learningthe intracacies of the SEC. According toSchlosser "Lou will be chairman in nameonly. I will meet with him at least once a day.Everything from now on will be a jointventure."
Concerning the new contract with CellarDoor Productions Schlosser remarked "I thinkit's a move we had to make to restorefinancial stability." He emphasized howeveran independent attitude and an intention toseek out acts on the part of SEC.
One of the first tasks he intends toundertake is a review of the commission andall others who now work with SEC. SaidSchlosser "I think a review of any organization should be happening all the time. After awhile it becomes difficult to change peoplewho aren't functioning. This period oftransition is a good time to do it."
Whether or not Schlosser can carry out asuccessful program remains to be seen. buthe's off to a much more comfortable andauspicious start than his predecessors.

$40,000 deficit, most of it stemming from losses from concertsthe entertainment group hadbrought to campus by themselvesor through New Era Follies.
As a result most administratorsand student officials were pleasedby the arrangement with CellarDoor Productions. Under theagreement the SEC is paid astraight fee for setting up McDonough gymnasium and providing other technical services.The SEC must pay for thedifference between the CellarDoor ticket price and the SESdiscount rate, however.
The Commission also makesmoney selling concessions duringthe concerts.
at the ready acceptance by Ralston of theirchoice, Schlosser. One commissioner said "Idon't think Ralston was looking forward toanother fight and possible drastic action bythe SEC."
Twice the desires and opinions of the SECwere cast aside by the executive. Specifically,this was the case prior to the appointments ofBrickfield and Kallas. Then, the SEC'sprimary choice was veteran commissioner J.Timothy Brown (Coll'77). Brown was acommissioner from September '73 until hisresignation this summer.
Both Leslie and Ralston disregarded therecommendation of the former chairmanWerner and the other commissioners thatBrown should be appointed. Instead, theyselected SEC members, with whom they hadno personal conflicts.
As a result numerous SEC members driftedaway, causing fragmentation of the organization, from which the group has yet to recover.
According to former chairman GreggWerner, "The chairman must be a multitalented person. He must set realistic goalsthat can be handled by the subscriptionrevenue. He must be imaginative and resourceful, able to listen to all sectors of the GUcommunity. He must remain objective and
Mahoney added that the Commission would like to do similarshows in Trinity to supplementthe McDonough concert schedule.The SEC official also said thegroup would like to book moreshows in Trinity next semester asa replacement for the Gaston Hallconcert series.
"There are a lot of nice acts inthis price range that we could doin a place that's a little larger thanthe Cellar Door nightclub," Mahoney said. "Cellar Door declinedto do this show for us, because itwas not that profitable for them,but they have no objections to usworking the hall. It hasn't hurtour arrangement with them atall."
The two shows will begin at7:30 and 10:30. Ticket prices willbe $3.50 with an SES card, $5.00in advance and $5.50 at the door.
Some student officials havebeen wary about allowing the SECto book concerts on their own,since this would involve thepossibility of the Commissiongetting into debt.
Last year the SEC ran over a

person is sitting as the Chairman of theStudent Entertainment Commission.
The selection was arrived at by the SECand approved by Student Body PresidentDave Ralston. The decision marks the firsttime since ascendence of Gregg Werner in1973 that the chairman's selection has notbeen the subject of factional student politicsand substantial objection by the membershipof the SEC.
This time the appointee is Billy Schlosser(SBA'77). He succeeds Lou Kallas (March '75to December '75), Frank Brickfield (January'75 to March '75) and Gregg Werner(November '73 to January '75).
Schlosser embodies a number of qualitieswhich Student Body Vice-president DennisMcCarthy stated were necessary for anacceptable chairman. "We were looking forsomeone who could organize and motivatepeople, develop long range planning and whohad a grasp of sound financial planning. LittleBill seems to be the perfect choice."
The extraordinary circumstance sur-rounding this selection is that there was nointerference by the executive as there wasduring the selection of Brickfield and Kallas.
A general feeling of relief fell over the SEC

When asked if Watergate wouldbe an issue, most agreed that itwould have some effect upon theoutcome of the election.
Mark Ellsworth (Ford) cornmented, "This time right afterWatergate is an era in whichpoliticians are more aware of whatthe public thinks they're doing inrelation to what they are actuallydoing."
Gerald R. Fordgovernment is at stake. "The issueis whether the voters will rejectbig government that was triggeredby rapid growth of power afterthe New Deal. We're at the crossroads-free enterprise or socialism."

Chuck Crimi (Jimmy Carter)commented, "Because of themultiplicity of candidates it's hardfor one candidate to mobilize theentire campus until at least theNew Hampshire and Florida primaries are over. because mostpolitically interested people wantto stay out of it until they findout which candidates are stagnating and which are growing."

rostrumIn a recent article in the HOYA Fr. McSorley said when asked about
the presence of the military on campus, "I believe that I amcommanded to love God and all human beings." So what is new aboutthat? Every Christian knows that we must love all human beingsincluding the military. Your main problem is, Fr. McSorley, that youdo not know what kind of love Christ was talking about in this context,when he said that we should love our enemies. How do you define theword "love" in this context? Is it a matter of feeling-r-sentiment,emotion? Am I supposed to love my enemies with the same kind oflove lowe to my mother or sweetheart?
Basically there are two kinds of love. The highest form of love eitherfor God or man is known as the love of preference. This kind of lovedemands that whenever there is a conflict between the will of the lovedone and my will, the will of the one I love takes preference. This is thekind of love all men must have for God. This kind of love need not beaccompanied by emotion and sentiment. To love God is not a matter offeeling-to love God is to do the will of God. There is another kind of
love which is more emotionalsentimental. This love is known as"the love of affection." This is thekind of love that pervades the lovea mother has for her child or onebas for his sweetheart. Christ isnot talking about this kind of lovewhen He bids us love our enemy.Christ rather bids us love theperson who is our enemy, but notto love what he does. This kind oflove Christ had for sinners.
Military training you say is centered around "kill and destroy,"but I would rather say it is centered around "save and preserve."Nobody denies that it would befar better to have peace without
war, but how do you propose to bring this about? We are dealing with ahorde of Communists, inspired by Satan himself, or do you include thedevil as one of those to be loved?
Let me ask you an honest question, Fr. McSorley. Do you recall wayback when the very military whose presence on campus you despise somuch, saved you from the prison camp in the Philippines? Was theappearance of those American soldiers so hateful to you then? Did younot thank God and those men too that they had been trained on all thecampuses across the land to do the job they did? Were you gratefulthen that all the colleges and the administrators of Georgetown had theforesight to see the necessity of ROTC on campus?
I presume that you are aware that the enemy has not changed, norhas he changed his intentions of world conquest. You realize, do younot, that communism is breathing down the neck of every country inthe world, including the USA. Vigilance is the price of peace! Don'tyou think it is better to have well-trained and strong bodied men ofintelligence and character to defend this eountry than a hastilymustered, untrained army? This is why we are glad to see the presenceof the military on campus. From what I know of both officers andstudents who join the ROTC, they are one of the most representativegroups of students and men on campus. Wake up, Fr. McSorley, yourdreams of a lasting peace are not about to come to pass. The enemystands at the gate.

town is at a crossroads. This being the case,it makes no sense to have a student on thecommittee whose focus is to the past ratherthan to the future. Certainly, there arestudents other than seniors with theexpertise necessary for the job.
There are a good number of studentsenators who are opposed to Leslie'snomination on similar grounds anJ intend totry to defeat it when it comes up before thesenate.
Even Joe Lhota has expressed reservationsabout Leslie representing student interests.
Even though the chances do not lookgood, we support the opposition and thinkthat the Senate should reject the nominationand we ask the Lhota committee to
reconvene and present another choice.This time the committee might look
beyond the confines of Healy Basement.They should also look beyond the seniorclass and come up with a student who willstill be a student when the new presidenttakes 0 ffice.
programming is popular with a sizablenumber of people. The station has a strongresponsibility to these people also.
A radio station which uses the limitedamount of air space available for broadcasting must serve ,t community far largerthan those who pay for it.
If the chief complaint against WGTB isthat it ignores Georgetown, the stationshould rectify this problem, by reinstitutingprograms popular with the Universitycommunity such as the Georgetown forum,broadcasting campus news during the day, orby running important sports events.
On the other hand, if there arc too fewGeorgetown students on the station, then agradual quota system that would set goalsfor percentages of programming done byundergraduates by various dates is a simplesolution.
This is the work that the latest oversightboard should undertake. Selling the license isnothing more than cutting off our nose tospite our face.

Student Body President Dave Ralston haschosen to nominate his predecessor, JackLeslie, to the Presidential Search Committee.Despite Leslie's qualifications, he is not awise choice.
It is not that Leslie or the other nomineesare unqualified; to the contrary, Leslieundoubtedly has the most expertise of anyof the candidates. Nor is the real problemthat the Lhota committee saw fit tonominate Healy basement politicos.
It is most probably that the searchcommittee's deliberations will extend intothe summer, at which point this senior willbe an alumnus. In any case, he will be goneby the time the new President is installed.
One of the purposes of having a studenton the committee is to have someone whowill have to endure the results of thecommittee's choice. To choose a senior is todeny the necessity for having a student onthe committee.

Keep GTB at GUWGTB, the University's controversial
"alternative" radio station, is under reviewby yet another committee, that ostensiblywill provide oversight and guidance, butwhich may well serve as the vehicle forvengeance by those who have found thestation repulsive, irresponsible or just unappealing.
Many people feel the simplest solution tothe entire matter is to sell the license, turn aquick profit and give the office space tosomeone who needs it. Selling the stationmeans that the University community hasneither the ability nor the interest to salvagean entity with tremendous potential.
Getting rid of WGTB would torpedo anychance of developing a communicationsdepartment; it would doom the chance offuture Georgetown students to learn byparticipating on a radio st.n ion, All thisbecause the programming has been distasteful to many students for the past few years.

* * * *This particular Friday night, being the
eve of Homecoming as well as Halloweenleads those gifted with a cynical wit toremark that it was only the beginning of aweekend long masquerade.
As the four of us began to pile into analready overcrowded Nova, on the way to anon-costume party, an effervescent voicecut through the dark.
"Hey Steve, how's it going old buddy?""Great. Who's that?" Steve asked.Kathy mumbled to me that she
recognized Ed's voice.
People were always saying that Ed wasone hell of a guy. With a smile and a goodword he could make up for all hisshortcomings-which were few to beginwith. Ed had left school midway throughthe second semester of last year. We neverfound out why.
He emerged out of the dark, barelyrecognizable, in a baggy brown suit, twentypounds heavier-at least ten of them in thepaunch.
After getting all our names wrong hestammered, "How do you like the suit?"
"Nice, nice," we all said."It's my grandfather's-he died long
ago ... Great man, lost his shirt in thedepression, not this suit though. Left thefamily a 13 million dollar company. MyFather went to Notre Dame, Fighting Irishand Harvard Business School-Great man.Hey, can I have a lift?"
"Sure." Steve said."Where are you going?""Party on 'R' Street.""Sounds good to me."In a polite voice Kathy asked, "What
have you been doing with yourself?""I'm a carpenter. Great business. Nailing
things down. I'm a union member, too.Ten bucks an hour. Hey, baby you'rebeautiful."
He fell across Kathy and with a grimsmile she pushed him away.
Even mebnation knows rebuke, so hefell to the other side of the car on Debbie."Got a date?" he breathed in her face.
"Yes.""How about going to the dance with
me?""I've already got a date.""So...""He's really changed," whispered Kathy
as we walked from the car to the party."We all agreed he had and went to the
party.
* * * *The next night we went to Steve's house
for a "quiet" supper before the dance. We,had been there fifteen minutes when Ed,wearing the same suit and the same smileof inebriation, walked in.
"I'm just in time for supper," heannounced.
"Not tonight," said Steve sticking hishead out of the kitchen.
"Hey, is this hospitality? This is my
Homecoming. I went here, tOO ... See mysuit, it's my grandfather's. He lost 13million in thl'! depression. Can I use yourphone?"
"Sure."After calling his date and telling her to
pick him up he turned to us. "Yeah, I'mcoming back next semester. You know, myFather went to Harvard BusinessSchool. .."
Steve came out of the kitchen. "Ed, it'stime to go."
"Okay, kick me out, that's okay."
* * * *"Whatever happened to him?""You know what scares me?" said
Kathy more shaken than bothered. "Hewas just like us. I wonder what made him'crack up.' "
A chorus of "who knows?" capped theconversation.
Ed's 'visit didn't spoil our supper. Wehad a fine supper. And we toastedfriendship with red wine. And we went tothe dance. And we drank too much. Andwe got to know our girls better.
We had a good homecoming.

Since the rebirth of the feminist movement in recent yearsAmerican educators have becomeincreasingly aware of the need tohelp female students realize theirfull potential. There has beenboth a shortage of female rolemodels for women students toemulate and a lack of knowledgeof the contributions women havemade in every field. Educatorshave attempted to rectify thissituation by offering courses inwomen's studies, incorporatinginfonnation on women into already existing courses. recruitingwomen faculty members, anddeveloping career counseling programs specifically designed forwomen.
WomE'n haven't necessarily received a different education thanmen. but they do have lowerexpectations of the returns they'llget from their educational experience. This is because society(including professors) doesn'texpect women to achieve as muchas men. Professors think that sincea man will utilize his educationmore than a woman, there is agreater need to educate men.Thev don't take women studentsas ~riously as men students. Thisall leads to women not taking
themselves seriously, setting lowergoals (or no goals) for themselves.and considering a man's careermore important than their own.
Despite the difference in expectations, there is no differencebetween the intellectual aggressiveness of male and femalestudents. In speaking with professors, we found that while theycorroborated the findings mentioned above. they did not thinkthat women participated less inclass than men, or deferred tomen. Furthermore, one professor's research proved that itwas not intellectual differe ncesbetween the sexes that accountedfor the different achievementlevels.
The lack of role models forwomen has further aggravated thechance for women to fullfill theirpotential. In the academic world,as well as the professions therearen't enough visible women toprove to female students that theycan make it. Neither are womengiven the opportunity to see thatthey don't have to make a choicebetween a career and being a wifeand mother. The roles can becompatible, but how manywomen consider them an either-orchoice?
Georgetown University hasn'texactly gone out of Its way tomeet the needs of Its femalestudents. to give them extraencouragement to continue on tohigher education and seriouscareers. or to provide them WIthrole models. Yet. several womenfaculty members have recognizedthe VOId that exists.
They've realized the need to"fill in the Raps" left by aneducational system that has overlooked (granted, sometimes unintentionally) and de-emphasizedwomen's role. To make womenstudents more aware of thecontributions women hay!' madein the arts and sciences. and tohelp them realize their abilities.the University is offering aninterdisciplinary course next semester.
This course hopefully wIllfulfill several objectives. It willbring women faculty together togive one another support. It willhelp women (and men too)become aware of women's role inthe past and their potential forthe future, and lastly, it willencourage women to fulfill theirpotential and provide everyonewith resources that have beengrossly underutilized in the past.

Audiences at commencement exercises at Georgetown were subjectto their share of "heavy" speechesby the likes of Al Smith in 1941 andthen secretary of Commerce HerbertHoover in 1927. However, lightermoments did exist. The most notablewas in 1962 when Bob Hope strolledto center state of the graduationplank and accepted an honorary de-

dent Grant ...were not on terms ofpleasant relation." This was extremely problematical since Johnsonhad a son graduating from the College that year and he was planning toattend the ceremonies. A confrontation between the two famous statesmen was not desired, so a Jesuitmarshall cautiously directed themovements of Johnson and Grantthroughout the entire ceremony toprevent their meeting.
The popular President DwightEisenhower spoke at the dedicationof the Walsh Building in 1958. Eisen.hower, who had been friends withthe late Father Walsh for manyyears, spoke at the Hall of Nations toa group of foreign service students.He was ceremoniously greeted byabout 300 polished and posturedROTC cadets outside the buildingbefore he entered the Hall.
In his brief, but eloquent speech,he said that Georgetown University"symbolizes Father Walsh's hope forpeace in the world." He then unveiled the bust of Fr. Walsh which isnow outside the Hall of Nations.
William Jennings Bryan spokehere many times, once while at theheight of another Bryan campaign,that of his son's attempt for theposition with the student body atthe GU Law School. Leftover"Bryan. For President" campaignbuttons from his father's races wereput to use by the young Bryan.

One studentgave a speech welcoming him to theUniversity and Washington said a fewwords to a very small group ofstudents who had gathered to seehim. The Old North steps, depictedin the famous drawing of Washington's speech, did not even exist atthe time
Almost every President of theUnited States has spoken here, mostoften at commencement exercises.Theodore Roosevelt gave one of hismost famous and most quotedspeeches at the commencement exercises of 1906.
Roosevelt, who was very popularamong the students, was greeted byan enthusiastic and zealous audienceof graduates. As he stepped up to thepodium to deliver his speech, thestudents cheered out:
"Hoya, hoya, Saxa!Hoya, hoya, Georgetown!Hoya, hoya, Roosevelt!"
Roosevelt's speech was highlighted with his down-to-earth expressions and personal views ofcollege life. Toward the end of thecommencement speech, Roosevelt,who was very fond of sports, saidthat he was pleased to give diplomas"to students who had evidently beenable to develop a thoroughly soundmind in an exceptionally soundbody."
He went on to speak about his belief in athletics and closed his speechwith a command that Pat O'Brienmight have ~peat~d: "When youcome out into ute I can say no morethan to Wish you to copy the mottoof every boy who plays on a collegeteam: 'Don't flinch, don't foul, andhit the line hard!"
The commencement of 1869 wasa tense, hectic one for the Jesuits.President Ulysses S. Grant, successorto Andrew Johnson, was the commencement speaker and was to giveout the awards and diplomas.

Closing Remarks
Many notable visitors from foreignlands have spoken at Georgetown.Female revolutionist Bernadette Devlin spoke here in 1971 concerningthe crisis in Ireland. The Emperor ofEthiopia, Haile Salassie, received anhonorary degree and spoke at ceremonies honoring him at G.U. in1963. World-reknowned French philosopher Gabriel Marcel accepted invitations from the Philosophy Cluband twice spoke at Georgetown.Also, King Hussein addressed students on the Mid-east crisis in 1967.
The list of speakers at Georgetownis not, as many would say, "endless,"but perhaps the interesting storieswhich have accompanied thesemoments throughout the years justmay be.

attempted to speak again. At thistime, another fight erupted whichquickly turned into a small-scale riot.
Officials feared for Alioto's lifeand helped him from the Hall, whichwas now a chaotic scene of flyingpunches and flying bodies.
Alioto finally made his speech to avery small group of students andvisiting politicians in the Jesuit parlor of the Gervaise Building. He saidthat he "hadn't intended this talk tobe an illustrated lecture" on campusunrest. He felt that the campuses ofthe United States must remain opento free speech but that violence inany form should not be allowed. Ashe was leaving the campus, he reomarked to a nearby listener that hehad never witnessed a reaction as theone he had received in Gaston Hall.
Jane Fonda, Tom Haydn andcrew electrified Gaston Hall in 1973with a presentation that divided aloud, debating audience over theIndochina situation. Fortunately, the
"satisfaction to us." The speech pre-ceded the Mass of the Holy Spirit,and the Pope requested to view themass in Rome. Films of the mass atGeorgetown were shot, quickly processed, and then immediately flownto the Pope.
There have been many controversial speeches at Georgetown, but byfar the most jolting was a speechgiven by San Francisco MayorJoseph Alioto in March, 1969.
Don Casper, a HOY A editor andfellow Californian, invited Alioto tospeak in Gaston Hall on the subjectof "Law and the Campus."
However, an organization on campus known as the Students for aDemocratic Society (SDS) weredeeply opposed to Alioto and planned a major demonstration to occurduring Alioto's visit. Alioto, who washaving enough of his own problemswith students at Berkeley and was,by now, accustomed to demonstrations, was informed of the what wasin store, but he showed little concern.
Before the speech was scheduledto start about 50 vocal demonstrators gathered outside Gaston Hall.Alioto was escorted to Gaston withthe organizers of the speech, whonow thought that trouble was imminent. As the mayor's entouragereached the doors of Gaston, a freeswinging fight erupted from theranks of the demonstrators. Aliotowas struck several times, but managed to be pulled to safety withinthe hall.
Finally, Alioto was introduced tothe crowd inside Gaston where hereceived a standing ovation from avery anxious audience. As he steppedto the podium to speak, anotherfight broke out between ushers andthe SDS demonstrators. When a semblance of peace was restored, Alioto

artsKnock-Out RevivalAt Ford's Theatre
Tuesday night Yuur Arm:s TooShort To Box With God jumpedinto Ford's Theatre causing moreexcitement than John WilkesBooth was able to muster a fewyears back. This foot-stomping,hand-clapping musical will be atFord's until December 14, andonce again, Ford's has come upwith a winner.
The plot couldn't be simpler; itis loosely based on the Gospelaccording to St. Matthew. Thefirst half of the play deals withthe crucifixion and resurrectiono( Jesus. The second half of theplay can be described as nothingshort of the best features of arevival meeting, performed withconsummate aplomb.
First, the criticisms of the play.The lyrics at times are hardlywhat could be called inspired,relying in many cases on repetition to mask a lack of creativity.A few of the numbers, especiallythe finale, are simply too longbut in the entire context of theplay, these flaws are minor.
If this show can be said to havetwo outstanding stand-outs, theyhave got to be Salome Bey andDelores Hall. Bey, as the VirginMary, has a voice that is ex-
pressive , smooth, and able torelate every possible emotion; heraccopella singing is a thing ofbeauty. She is both a voice and astage presence of ~at talent. Herobvious gifts are put to good usethroughout, and she shines brightly in this production. Delores Hallpossesses a voice that might be ashade too weak for Ford's, butagain, this is of small account. Herbelting, revival-tent style in thenumber "I Love You So Much"brought the house down. Theaudience reaction to Ms. Hallprodded her on to sing better andbetter. She started a bit weak, buther voice got stronger as the playwent on.
The simplicity of the sets andthe excellence of WilliamSchroder's costumes helped createan atmosphere thoroughly appropriate to the production. TalleyBeatty's choreography could nothave been better, and Billy Taylor(of David Frost fame) did asuperb job with the arrangementof Alex Bradford's indescribablygood music. Vinnette Carroll'sdirection left nothing to bedesired.
The production uses the physical resources of Ford's to the
utmost. The theatre itself is smalland intimate, the use of thebalconies, aisles and wings wasinspired. If this play wasn'tcreated for Ford's it does a damngood job of faking it.
Perhaps the most accuratething to say about this play is thatit is a Gospel celebration. Theall-Black cast performs marvelously. Using the "company" in partas a Greek Chorus, punctuatingthe Crucifixion scene with whatmay only be described as primalscreams, and constantly employing a foot-tapping "can't fightthe feeling rhythm ," this playsucceeds where Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell fell short. Itcuts through the pontificalgarbage and concentrates on thejoyous aspects of the 01' TimeReligion. The last thing anyoneneeds is to pay modem daytheatre prices for a sermon, andmercifully, we don't get one.What we get, in a phrase, is a nightof splendid music augmented bysome great voices.
Noteworthy among thetwenty-five (!) numbers in thisproduction are "Be Careful WhomYou Kiss" (an outstanding

Springsteen's Born to Lose
Bruce Springsteen
TilE CAMpUS CiNEMA
by Jerry Mercuriand Jim Falzarano
In the multimil1ion dollar worldof entertainment, success storiesare frequent and often unexplainable. One case in point is BruceSpringsteen. From a "somewhat"humble New Jersey background,this foundling, recently adoptedby some rock and roll fans, hasleft a distressing blotch upon theannals of rock music. The Springsteen Sensation, often called thesaving grace of rock, seems to bemore indicative of the generaldeterioration of the genre.
This article is limited to what
are normally considered to be thebest of Springsteen's songs, givinghim the benefit of our doubt thatthey are representative of his totalwork.
If we begin with the first cutfrom his second album, The Wild,the Innocent and the E StreetShuffle, we find that this song"The E Street Shuffle," typifiesthe major problems that Springsteen's music presents.
From the initial cacophony tothe charming portraiture of streetlife, the song makes the listenerpainfully aware of the limitationsof Springsteen's art. Background
rhythms are disjointed, as Springsteen's guitar has difficulty following the funky beat his rhythmsection lays down. And thencomes the voice. Harsh, raspy,unrhythmic and unmelodic, thevoice assaults the listener's ear. Itmust be noted, however, thatsome raspy throated vocalists,such as Rod Stewart and the lateJanis Joplin, are quite effective,by extending their vocal range andstaying on tempo. Springsteenseems incapable of either.
Flipping the album over, wefind the second song on that sideto be almost synonomous withthe name Springsteen at George.town: "Rosalita." In spite of thenumber of requests we were oncetormented with for this tune, it isclear that the song lacks all of thequalities of a true rocker.
The beginning is protracted andhas no beat. There are frequentchanges in tempo that render thesong difficult to dance to. Theone comparative advantage thissong offers is that the backgroundmusic is mixed so loudly that theinexorable, grief-dealing voice ofthe artist can hardly be heard.
Let us now move on to Springsteen's latest musical offering,Born to Run. The title tune fromthis album is indeed a wel1produced, highly polished work,with some notable exceptions.First, no amount of reverberation
added to Springsteen's voice inthe studio can hide the fact thathe simply can't sing. The back-upband appears strengthened withnew personnel and tigh ter musicalarrangements. However, Springsteen proves to be the weak linkmusically as well. The guitar riftsare boring and repetitive, theautomative pilot motif a la GrandFunk Railroad.
Finally, we were pleased tonote that Columbia Records waskind enough to include printedlyrics to the songs inside the dustjacket of the album. Otherwise,
CHINATOWN (/974)Friday and Sunday. 8:00 p.m
Undoubtedly the best Arnerican film of last year. Brilliantlydirected by Roman Polanski(Rosemary ',S Baby, Macbeth).China town is a spel1binding,moody film which is too goodto be called simply a detectivemovie. As Shamus J.J. Gittes,Jack Nicholson spars with FayeDunaway and John Huston inhis attempt to unravel a complexmystery about the political andsocial corruption in southernCalifornia of the 1930's. Although shafted by the AcademyAwards, Chinatown should endure for many' years in the
the world might remain ignorantof the earth-swaying significanceof his message. Seriously, however, the value of any artist'smessage must be questioned if itcannot be communicated vocallyto his listeners.
It is indeed unfortunate thatBruce Springsteen finds it necessary to taint his lyric and songwriting ability by his personalpresence on these albums, inmuch the same mold as Bob Dylan.
The popularity of both artists isan inexplicable phenomenon.

it. The front room is devoted to roulettewheels, blackjack and craps at tables, andthe dance tloor is hidden in the back room,near the main bar. The small size of thedance tloor is heightened by the pillarswhich enclose it on two sides. The lightsover the dance floor are intriguing, though.They are suspended from the ceiling likemulticolored fluorescent drinking straws.The music is repetitive, with the sam I'
numbers used again and again. Try not toget a table under one of the many speakersif you enjoy conversation. A good sized,somewhat older crowd can be founddancing and lounging around the bar by 11p.m. Drinks are not cheap and it's a goodidea for guys to wear jackets. Vegas is openSun-Thurs 9 p.m.-2 a.m. and Fri-Sat. 9p.m.-5 a.m. Crepes are served for breakfastfrom 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.
The Grand Central. located at 901 N.J.Ave., S.E., is reputed to have one of thebest sound systems In the city. This fact,combined with Grand Central's lack of acover, minimum, ID policy and dress code ,makes the Grand Central a popular disco.The dance tloor is large enough, the musicis varied and the mixing is skillful. TIl{'crowd is fairly gay and Just as interested inSOCializing as in dancing, which makes theGrand Central altogether a pretty livelyplace. It also seems less crowded than mostof the other good diSCOS. so it's a greatplace to go with a group of people. Drinksare inexpensive. It\ open week nights 7p.m.-2 a.m. and weekends 7 p.m.-3 a.m.
The Last Hurrah at 1415 22nd St. Justopened in October and is fast becoming till'most popular dance bar in DC. It seems toplease both the disco afficionados as wellas the novices. I've never been to a discowhere it was so obvious that everyone wasthoroughly enjoying themselves. BUilt in anHvshape , the Last Hurrati's two bars areparallel. A spacious wooden dance tloorseparates them. The inside and ou tsidewalls of the Las/ Hurrah are white stuccoand huge potted plants provide ambianceinside. Some tables border the dance tloorand some tables cluster in the most secluded corners and alcoves, so there issomething for everyone. The music iscarefully chosen and blended seamlessly.

Althoughthe Pier's semi-nautical interior can't compete with the silver-palm-wallpaper decorof Zanzibar, you're more likely to see andhear the latest from New York at the Pierthan at Zanzibar. The multi-levels on bothfloors of the Pier afford a clear field ofvision, which makes the Pier one of the fewdiscos where it is possible to watch and bewatched. However, it is advisable for youto bring your own dancing partner. Like allgood discos, the Pier gets crowded, butnever uncomfortably so. Things don't startjumping until 11 p.m. either. The $3.00cover charge pays for your first threedrinks, which is a bargain in DC. Unfortunately, the ID policy is just short ofarchaic: the management requires two ID'swith a birthdate, at least one of themhaving a picture. The management does notaccept school ID's, draft cards or work ID'sbut tltey will accept passports!' "Properdress" is not required. The overflow fromZanzibar will show up suitably chic andalthough there may be a few "junior rockstars" in bare midriffs, rhinestones andplatforms, you'll fit right in with jeans andflannel shirts. The Pier is open Sun.-Thurs.8 p.m.·2 a.m, and Fri-Sat 8 p.m.-3a.m.
Anxious to get a piece of the action anda fistful of disco dollars, the Emerson'srestaurant chain opened discos in several ofits restaurants. Unfortunately, there isnothing worse than a chain disco ... The
decor of Emerson's Dimples, 1511 KStreet, N.W., is uninspired; mirrored balls,beaded curtains and artifical ferns providea kind of "golden-arches" atmosphere. Thedance tloor is small and the music isstandard disco fare straight from the playlists of WKYS, Washington's disco station.The patrons represent a cross section ofages and everything considered, they seemto be having a good time by 12 p.m. Oneof Dimples' seIling points is its lack of acover or minimum; drinks are reasonable,too. Dimples is open every night fordancing from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m .
A few blocks from Dimples is a smalldisco in a restaurant called Vegas at 1825M St., N.W. Vegas was heavily advertisedon WKYS so we thought we'd investigate

Le Club Zanzibar, 2015 L Street, N.W.,IS a lavish, art deco "New York-stylediscotheque" tucked discreetly above an LStreet carwash. Despite the lack of amenit ies and the possible drawbacks of such alocation, Zanzibar recently has become oneof the places to be seen at. It has alsobecome increasingly popular with Georgetown students. Zanzibar attracts a young,flashy, super-sophisticated Capitol Hillcrowd. The music and the mixing (blendingof beats) are above average, but this is nottill' reason the crowd keeps dancing-thedance floor is so disappointingly small and<'0 crowded that It is dangerous to stopdancing or try to return to your table. Thispast summer Zanzibar received a lot ofpublicity from the local media and it'sbeen bursting with people ever since. It'snever impressed me as a particularly goodplace to meet people. There just isn'troom. Weekends are wall-to-wall peopleand if you enjoy dancing or simply want tocheck out one of the slickest discos, go toZanzibar on a week night by 10: 30 or on aweekend by 10:00 p.m. There is no coveror minimum, so the drinks tend toward theexpensive.

lettersGood Luck
Fr. Henle's resignation bringsup interesting, but to me confusing, matters. Let's see if I havegot it straight. The tuition ofstudents must not go up. Thesalaries of faculty must. Classesshould be smaller, which eithermeans cutting students or increasing faculty. The "federalgovernment" should do more, butinflation must be kept down,because that raises student tuition(which must not happen) andmakes faculty members ask forhigher wages (which they mustget). The President must stay athome rather than go off and fundraise, because obviously in times ofinflation and recession, the wholeUnited States is lining up atGeorgetown's gates to dumpmoney into Georgetown (ratherthan spend it on their ownchildren's tuition).
Now let me see: there must besolutions. We could go into thecounterfeit money business. If wedid it well we might not getcaught until this student is graduated. But that is a short termsolution and we'd probably getcaught. There is a long term
solution: more pills, moreI.U.D.'s, more thermometers.That way there would be fewerstudents in the future and, in time,also fewer faculty members. Butno, that means that X years fromnow we'll have too few studentsto keep up the larger facilities andstaff, which we must have (right?')and that will mean higher tuitionand fathers demanding higherwages. Let's see, there must be away.
Good luck, Fr. Henle, and evenbetter luck to your successor. Iget tired even thinking about it!

ROTC WrongI have just received a letter
from a former student bodypresident of Georgetown University. Doug Kellner, who has beenstudying at Columbia University.Doug recently served on the Columbia University committee whichwas charged with studying theirpolicy on ROTC-which was justexcluded from the university. Iwill quote his letter in full,because I feel it is a good exampleof how a sound moral 'andacademic position can actuallylead to an end to ROTC on
college campuses around thecountry:
I thought you would like toknow, that in spite of what themedia calls "the return ofROTC", Columbia has just reojected any possibility of allowingROTC to return to campus. As amember of the University ROTCReview Committee I was able touse much of what we tried to doand failed at Georgetown. Most ofthe faculty were concerned about
1) the fact that the DefenseDept. named teachers for thecourses:
2) The fact the DOD prescribed the course content:
3) The fact that a studentcould be drafted out of schoolbecause DOD did not think thestudent was fulfilling his contract:and
4) The fact that DOD gave verylittle protection to the enrolled student: the student could be reostricted for marrying (by the NavyROTC), the disciplinary codes arevague with no recourse to reviewby the University, and
5) The fact that the Armyrequires that the University notgrant a ROTC student any degreeuntil the Army ROTC certifiesthat the student has satisfied
Army requirements, even if thatstudent has passed all othercourses!
DOD tried to deny that manyof these things happened, butthey were all written right intothe ROTC vitalization Act of1964 which is still a part of theUS Code, and the Code of FederalRegulations.
These are the exact sameacademic reasons which shouldcause any University which believes in its role in seeking thetruth independently to endROTC. .

Kid's MyMan"The Collected Works of Billv
the Kid" is poetic in the fullestsense. Michael Ondaajte, the author, combines a gripping series ofpoems, tales and concise skits intoacomposition on violence. Theviolence lives in the AmericanWest, in Billy Bonney. Because ofits atemporal form and its movement leading us away from arational understanding of Billy, itis poetic.
The play is enhanced by good
lighting on the distinctivelyWestern indoor-outdoor set.Desert sand covers the stageexcept for a piece of woodenfl o or , which delivers theranchhouse flavor well. Nakednessdescribes the mood, as Billyvividly words his feelings in verse,and the audience becomes subjectto his sharp imagery. The castingis excellent and very appealing.
For those people interested intheater, the Folger Group ispresenting a play. However, it willprobably disturb people in anunintended way. who are accustomed to reading more literatepieces in the comfort of a modemAmerican easy chair. Reviewprinting in the HOYA was imperceptive. If you are open mindeddo not be disturbed by cheapcritical tricks which lessen a playbecause it is progressive, or worseyet, because the author is aCeylonese immigrant to Canada.

article "The Impossible Dream"published in your edition ofOctober 24, and dealing withDean Krogh's educational andadministrative activities on ourcampus.
It seems to me that putting indoubt one's motives is contrary tothe accepted rules of publicdiscussion. It is also fallacious(argumentum ad IlOmlllem?).Above all. however, it is not ingood taste.
The respected authors stated:"It has been Virtually commonknowledge for the last four yearsthat Krogh wants to become l:SAmbassador to Egypt ... " 1, forone, never heard of it (perhaps hewould like to become an ambassador, but. well, except for ourgood Jesuit Fathers, whowouldn't?).

A Hopkins forward took control of a teammate's pass at about 35 feet,maneuvered past two Hoya defenders and dropped a lazy shotinto the corner of the net overFrayne's outstretched arms.
The second half was differentas a spirited Georgetown teampressured Hopkins the entire half.Again however the Hoya's inability to finish the play and get theball in the net was the cause oftheir downfall.
Dave Andrill and Mike Fullamturned in excellent games whilefreshman John Supplitt played asuper game after coming in as asubstitution to start the secondhalf.
Georgetown couldn't get the ballin the net and the half ended in ascoreless tie.
The second half gave the Hoyasthe benefit of the wind but theyfailed to capitalize as sloppy playand poor passing by the teamresulted on a minimum of shotson goal and no tallies. ThePeackocks, greatly hindered bythe wind, also managed only a fewshots on Hoya goalie ChrisFrayne. As the time ticked awayit seemed as if the game wasdestined to end in a scoreless tie.
However with 30 seconds reomaining in the game the dottedball was surrounded by a conglomeration of players from bothsquads about ten feet in front ofthe Hoya goal. After a fewmoments, one of the St. Peter'splayers sent the ball carrommingout of the crowd of players andinto the Georgetown goal for thegame's only score and the Peacocks margin of victory.

Hoya Football: Ready to Step Up?Last Saturday afternoon, a traditional autumn
spectacle was recreated before a full house atKehoe Field. There, on a day which seemed madeto order by the athletic officials who had the dutyof running the day's festivities, the GeorgetownHoyas defeated arch-rival Fordham University,24·0, for their second consecutive HomecomingDay victory, avenging the loss suffered at thehands of the Rams two years ago.
The Fordham-Georgetown rivalry has a longand colorful history. Many old-timers who hadreturned to the Hilltop could not help butremember the time when the clash between theHoyas and the Rams went a long way towarddetermining gridiron supremacy in the East.
Times Have Changed
Unfortunately, despite the massive turnoutand the presence of a real marching band,something the Hilltop rarely sees, the glory daysare gone. The days when the battle between thesetwo Jesuit institutions aroused any excitementmuch beyond the confines of Rose Hill and
Georgetown seem to have disappeared forever.Or, then again, have they? Both Georgetown
and Fordham have taken steps over the last fewyears to upgrade their football programs greatly.Fordham has taken a major step by implementingthe granting of scholarships, this year fielding asquad with 37 scholarship athletes. Though theirdisplay last week did not prove it, Fordham isattempting to embark upon the road of return togridiron respectability.
At the Crossroads
But what about Georgetown? Clearly, Georgetown is at the crossroads of its footballprogram. The Hoyas are now at a point in theiroevelopiuent wnere a re-evaluation of the footballprogram seems imminent. Certainly, the prospectsof an undefeated season are suddenly becomingvery real, as only Gettysburg seems to offer muchin the way of opposition in the gridders' finalthree games. However, with the quality of theprevious opposition being what it is, many willquestion the validity of the Hoyas' achievement,
and their record will not escape the tamt ofclaims of turkey scheduling. ThIS is unfortunate,but it is also inevitable.
So what can the Hoyas do to re-establishthemselves as a small-time powerhouse? FIrst ofall, a definite stepping up of the schedule seemsnecessary. While squads such as St. Peter's andFordham have a place on the schedule, teamssuch as Gallaudet just don't belong. Should theHoyas upgrade their schedule to the point whereother topnotch small college squads consistentlyappear at the Hilltop, crowds such as last week'swould not be unusual.
Football has reached the point where they havegone as far as they can go with the program theyhave. Though they have done exceptionally wellwith their program, other teams with comparableprograms don't seem to have developed quite asfar. Thus, in order for the Hoyas to improve thequality of their schedule, it may be necessary toplay schools with better programs. While theystep may backfire, it is one which is needed inorder to attract and retain the attention whichthe football program seeks.

The Rugby team takes on Towson State tomorrow still looking fortheir first victory.
Wide receiver Arnold Colemanhas been the only bright spot inCoach Leete's disappointing 2-4season. Coleman has snared 14receptions for 158 yards for an11.3 average, but his threat becomes minimal without a quarterback able to reach him with apass.
The dismal season has to bedisheartening for Hofstra, who reevaluated their football programat the end of last season. According to Hofstra Sports Information Director John Frew, "Bymaintaining the same number ofscholarships as in previous yearsand reducing the quality of ourcompetition WP had hoped for bigthings this year." Injuries seemedto dictate otherwise.
The dressing of the Dutchmen'sstadium floor with astroturf hasto prove a distinct advantage forHofstra. No one on the Georgetown squad has played competitively on artificial turf previously.The Hoyas attempted to remedythis situation by traveling toGeorge Al1en's humble abode,
first game of playing A's scoredour only try and played exceptionally well. However, our basicdifficulty evolves around internaldisorders and the fact that ourteam is basically freshmen andsophomores, which means we'llhave to wait until the spring season before WI' have the experienceto play together."
The major problem liesin the selection of teams, as towho will play on the A, B or Cteams. Formerly the officerschose the teams but recently aseven-man committee has been setup for that purpose. Saitta chargesthat the committee is playing politics with selections.
Saitta gives his view of thismatter, "Personally, I think thatwe're out there to have fun, but ifwe do become more disciplined itshould be in the form of bettercoaching and organization, not byyelling at one another and runningmore sprints.
In answer to Saitta's charges,Ken Cancilla, a member of theselection committee replied, "1agree that rugby should be a fun.sport. However, 1 also feel thatwinning should be a part of thatfun. We're going through a rebuilding year, and as such the Ateam should be represented bythose who are willing to put forth

RFC Faces_ Towson;Still Seeks First Win
by Tom BiancoAfter a disappointing 24-6 loss
to Villanova, Georgetown's RugbyClub carries its winless recordagainst Towson State tomorrow inMaryland.
Villanova proved too much forthe Ruggers as Georgetown'sstrategy of shifting the entire Bteam's serum to the A team leveland moving various other playersto un familiar positions simplydidn't work. Club presidentJunior Saitta, commenting on thegame, said, "As far as Villanovagoes they WPrP a reasonably cleanteam and good partiers. Besides,they got up at 10:00 a.m. to play,which is a credit to any Rugbyteam."
Saitta added, "Personnel-wisewere probably better than lastyear's team. For example, BillPalko, a sophomore rookie, in his
