The following article was written by a student enrolled in the program he is describing. He, along with four other students, is employed by the Triangle.

Tlie federal government, in coalition with the School District in Philadel­phia, is sponsoring a work - training program for high school students from low - income families. The program, known as the Neighborhood Youth Corps was established by Congress under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964* and is administrated through the Bureau of Work Programs under the U. S.’ Department of Labor.

To qualify for the program, the enrollee must be: between 15 and 21 years of age, from a low income family, enrolled in the Philadelphia Public School System, and a permanent resident of the United States. They are paid the minimum wage, $1.60 per hour, and may work a maximum of 30 hours a week during the summer. During the school year, they may work between 8 and 12 hours a week.

The students are under the direct supervision of the staff person who has made a request for an aide. This may be a teacher, dietician, librarian, custo­dian, school secretary, etc. In addition, the program has a staff of Work Co­ordinators whose function is to coordinate job placement, develop work sites and provide the enrollees in the program with individual counseling, and pro­vide group job orientation and occupational guidance sessions. An evaluation of the aide on the job is obtained every month from his work - station super­visor. This evaluation is reviewed very carefully with the enrollee, noting strengths and weakenss.

Participants in the program are available for work as clerical aides, child care aides, recreational adies, building maintenance aides, stock and inventory aides, health aides, teacher aides, tutorial aides, or you name it aides, Drexel employs several of these students, as do neighborhood schools, administrative offices, school playgrounds and the like.

Anyone who thinks he could possible employ one or more of these N.Y.C. students is urged to contact Don Leavy or Larry Middleton at EV 7-2400, extension 2215. Remember, they won’t cost you a cent - the federal govern­ment is paying for them. You will get that help you’ve been screaming you need, and the kids will get the money they need to stay in school and help support their families. Think it over, then call Don and Larry — you won’t regret it.

At 12:01 AM Thursday m orn­ing, the contract of the custodial employees of Drexel University expired but, as of TRIANGLE press time, the union has not an­nounced a strike deadline. If the custodians do go on strike, the engineers and maintenance unions will probably strike in sympathy (the engineers contract runs ou t Sept. 30 and the main­tenance contract runs out Dec. 31).

New Navigational Aid Developed at Drexel

C o n t r a c t s A w a r d e d F o r N e w P h y s - E d C e n t e r

Contracts for Drexel*s new Physic'al Education Center, to be built at the co rn e r of 34th and Market Sts., were signed on June 4th. The sum of the four contracts awarded cam e to a total (estim ated) of $8,642 million.

D rexePs office of Planning and Construction, the a rch itectu ra l f irm of Thalheim er & Weitz (the gym’s des igners) and the CSeneral State Authority are now try ing to reduce th is flgtire to between 7 and 8.3 million d o lla rs by modifying the original de­sign of the building. However, none of the a l te ra ­tions will affect the build ing 's p rogram content. The plans s t i l l include a sw im m ingpool, four basketball courts , w restling ro o m s, general exerc ise room s,

offices and locker room s.

Most of the projected modifications will entail “ toning down the trim m ing ,” also some external fea tures of the building will have to be sacrificed . The curved concrete roof will be replaced with a more simple bowstring tru ss and the plate glass between the gym walls and the roof will be r e ­placed with concrete slabs. The walkways s u r ­rounding the gym. Instead of being elevated con­c re te , will be plain blacktop. Several other minor changes to the building are also planned as well as making the landscaping around the building less elaborate.

A new electronic ae ria l navi­gation Instrument which could facilitate more flexible patterns of navigation and ease ae ria l traffic congestion Is curren tly being researched by D rs. Thom­as J . Matcovich, P eter R. H ercz- feld, and Arthur E, Lord J r . , at Drexel University, Philadelphia. When perfected, the instrum ent will make it possible to a irc ra f t to fly directly from takeoff point to destination, rattier than from signal point to signal point of the very h l ^ fre(»iency omnirange (VOR) network, thus simplifying flight patterns and easing the con­gestion problem over VOR signal te rm inals.

A lthou^ s ti ll in the develop­mental stage, the device will be an In-cockplt Instrum ent with a c ircu la r dial of about 9 " di­am ete r , transected by a number of dual track rad ia l a rm s con­taining nematic liquid c ry s ta ls . Because of the dynamic qual­ities of the liquid c ry s ta l, it will

respond to elecxrlc fields ap­plied in response to the very high frequency omnirange (VOR) signal beam by changing from its norm al transparen t, co lor­le ss sta te to a milky white. Therefore, when one of the sev ­e ra l a rm s of this Instrum ent is selected by the VOR signal beam it w ill indicate that beam d irec ­tion by turning milky white, while the other a rm s, not In align­ment, rem ain co lo rless . In this way. It will be possible for a plane equipped with this naviga­tional aid to read a d irec t sig ­nal orientation o r , when at an In tersection point of two beams, to read a two-beam fix.

Scaled to existing map sy s ­tem s, the instrum ent will not necessita te any changeover of navigational maps. P ro fesso r Matcovich and his co-w orkers, a r e being assisted in the ir work by a NASA grant. He feels it may be severa l years before the de­vice Is perfected.

Casino N ight M ix e r to Highlight G reek Summer

by Fran Korwek

The I.F . Council met on Moflday n l ^ t , June 28, to plan activities for the sum m er. TTie h i^ l lg h t of the sum m er activities Is a Casino night mixer, featuring a band, plenty of beer and a night of gambling Las Vegas style. The event is to be held at the DAC on Wednesday, July 14, and is open to Greeks and non-Greeks alike.

The usual sum m er athletics will also be held, and the prospective team s have been practic ing their volleyball and tennis sk ills for quite some time. Last te rm saw Sigma PI and Teke winning the soft­ball and ping pong titles respectively.

One awkward situation arose last te rm when a combined Com­munity and I.F . cleanup day was authorized. Through some lack of communication, I.F . was not Informed until a week before the planned cleanup (June 13, the la s t day of finals) and because of the lack of time and the date, I .F . did not make a good showing. The G reeks of Drexel wish to apologize to the community groups Involved and tell them that the Greek community will gladly help out in any planned community events during the Summer Term .

/4i’ the walrus says: “No matter how nmny riches you accumulate, the number o f friends you make, or the amount o f education you receive, the size o f your funeral still depends on the weather. "

The following chart shows some very interesting facts about student expenses at colleges in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The figures are from the PCHE Newsletter o f April/May 1971.

In the first column, tuition and fees 70-71 for Drexel, with a total o f $1770 compares unfavorably with Gratz College ($150) while coming close to neighboring University o f Pennsylvania ($2550). For the 71-72 year, Princeton University overtook Penn with tuition and fees o f $2800 as Gratz College stayed the same and Drexel moved up to $2022. The percentage o f change for Drexel from 70-71 to 71-72 was +14.1. Fifteen colleges had no

increase and no school decreased their tuition. The highest per­centage change was +32 per cent for Lincoln University, although tuition only totaled $1400.

For a commuting student at Drexel, overall costs increased by 18 per cent from 70-71 to 71-72. This change o f $450 to $2950 is again fairly small when compared to back runner Gloucester C ounty College (-17.6 per cent. $1400) and front runner .Atlantic Com­munity College (+138.1 per cent. $1250).

The last set o f figures, for out-of-state charges, is irrelcvent as Drexel has no extra fees.

| l AZA SUITE, the cu r re n t i thp Midtown, provides an Inal updated version of the

the fllmgoing public, l a r g e l y to t h e e f -

fo rts of w riter Nell Simon and director

We laugh.H iller says cry . We cry . Oops _ d lcS

? d e " ; i ; ; n r i s ! “' ' " " w i t . , :

That film is a d irec to r’s medium is a generalization with myriad exceptions It

medium, or - in the case of Neil Simon - a w r i te r ’s medium. In all of Simon's films thus far (“ Come Blow Your Horn." “ B are-

in the Park,»» “ The Odd Couple »» “ The Out-of-Towners»») the scrip t has been responsib le for the success of the movie. D irec to rs have been anonymous and d irec ­to r ia l style has been invisible - and jus­tifiably so. The poignancy achieved in his f ilm s has grown out of the comedy, rather than being attained separately by the di­r e c to r .

In PLAZA SUITE, however, director Hil­le r (“ Love S tory ,” “ The Out-of-Towners") is a bit too obvious about displaying the s e rio u s side of Simon’s prem ises. When he em ploys d irec to ria l techniques towards this end, the distinction between comedy and tragedy loses its subtlety and the film w anders about somewhat confused.

The lament is that the film does not reach the potential that the scrip t made possib le. However, it Is s till a very en­te rta in ing movie. When the broad comedy s ty le of Neil Simon is being displayed just that way, it is very, very funny. True, it does not attain the same level of consis­tent h ilarity as several of the previous Neil Simon plays adapted for the screen; but much of it rea lizes a brand of widely apprecia ted screen comedy that few films eve r attain at all.

The acting perform ances are a pleasure to behold. The film provided yet another vehicle for the comedy acting of Walter

Matthau, who plays three roles and d is- P ays both his versatility and that expres ­sive Everyman face of his. His three lead­ing ladies - Maureen Stapleton, Barbara

a r r is , and Lee Grant - each complement nis nicely, and each is perfectly cast.

The story is actually a trilogy, bound to o th e r by the fact that each occurs in Suite 719 of the Plaza Hotel in New York City. The f irs t segment involves an absent- minded m iddle-aged housewife (Maureen Stapleton) who uses the fact that her house is being painted as an excuse to celebrate what she believes is her 24th wedding an­n iversary in what she believes is the sam e Plaza suite in which the couple spent their wedding night. Her amorous advances to her preoccupied business-executive husband (Matthau) are short-c ircu ited , however, by his revelation to her that he is having an af­fair with his secre ta ry . It is this segment that Is flawed by its ambivalence: although the principals are both excellent ac tors, an audience conditioned for belly-laugh humor is sledgehammered with the tragedy of an impending middle-aged divorce.

Suite 719 is next occupied by a su ccess ­ful Hollywood producer (Matthau) in New York for a se rie s of publicity appearances. With but two hours free in a busy schedule, he invites an old g irl friend (Barbara H ar­r is ) up to the suite for a reunion — and a re-union. Now the mother of three children, she is ripe for seduction - especially by a world-famous movie producer. Both ro les are a trifle over-acted in this segment, but there are several good moments.

The third vignette, however, is the piece de resis tance. If the fam iliar Neil Simon magic hasn't been evident through the f irs t two segments, this is where it beings. This is film comedy at its very best: s o u n d writing, proficient direction, and excellent acting combine here for a story that is —

DREXEL TRIANGLE July 2, 1971 - Page 3

from beginning to end — explosively and uproariously funny. Walter Matthau and Lee Grant portray the parents of a bride who — while the re s t of the wedding party await dow nstairs — locks herse lf in the Suite 719 bathroom and refuses to speak or unlock the door. "Rie efforts of her paren ts to get her to come out com prise a true c lassic in sc reen comedy. It is Walter Matthau, Lee Grant, Arthur H iller, and Neil Simon — all * at their very best.

The film owes much to Broadway the­a te r . All four principal actors are Tony- award-winning Broadway perfo rm ers. And both Neil Simon (who wrote the screenplay by adapting his own play) and Maureen Stapleton (who played all th ree female ro les opposite George C. Scott in the Mike Nic- hols-dlrected Broadway production) were r e ­c ruited from the stage play. Except for a few ex terior shots, the film takes place al­most entirely inside Suite 719 — a gim­mick which was one of the strengths of the Broadway play, but is ra the r restr ic tive in the film.

As the f irs t playwright in fifty years to have had four Broadway plays running sim ul­taneously on Broadway, and with five films under his belt and two more already in production, Neil Simon is an amazing phenomenon of the American entertainment media. Why is he so successful? Perhaps we sense the need for a few Neil Simon plays or films to escape the depressing newspaper headlines we read daily. Or maybe we see so much of ourselves in the charac ters and situa ­tions he depicts. Surely both are contributing fac to rs . But the overall reason is m u c h s im p ler .

In our culture, we shower gifts upon those that help fulfill our tru ly desperate need for l a u ^ t e r . We will pay attention to anyone who can make us laugh. And that the man can surely do.

D R E X EL T R IA N G L EPage4 -July 2, 1971

Today at 4:00 P.M., I was a spectator o f a rather interesting discussion that occurred in the W H Y Y Channel 12 Studio B. The program was the taping of something called “ Black Perspective on the News” and is produced by a Jimmy McDonald, who also acts (rather infrequently in the course o f the show) as a mediator. The weekly series consists o f what amounts to a black “Meet the Press,” with a panel o f outstanding blade correspondents and reporters who interrogate, sometimes in a rather sur­prising manner, people who play some role o f impor­tance in the world.

The program I witnessed, which is scheduled to be broadcast on T V / 12 Friday, July 2, at 8 P.M., and Satur­day the 3rd at 6 P.M., fea­tured Bayard Rustin as the special guest. Mr. Rustin is at the present time head of the A. Phillip Randolf In ­stitute. He has been a lead­ing figure in the fight for civil rights movement for years and, as a close associ­ate o f the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., has fought both for civil rights and against black seperatism. Protesting that black sepera­tism is “valid neither from a psychological nor a politi­cal point of view” , he has been attempting to build an alliance of blacks, unionists, religious groups, and stu­dents and other like-minded groups to form an effective political base.

“There is no way in which a unified group o f blacks alone could wield enough political power to affect this country’s poli­tical. . M r. Rustin says,

poses he is quite correct, which is why he is attempt­ing to forge a multi-racial union. Only then, he says, will the administration of M r. Nixon (and probably his successor, I might add)

listen to any black demands seriously.

The program dealt with various aspects o f the black in American society, espec­ially in states o f poverty. Poverty, M r, Rustin said, is e v e r y b o d y ’ s problem: whites, blacks, Puerto Ri­cans, and all the other

that compose this country.A mild-mannered man

with graying hair, Mr. Rustin is one of the sharp­est, most acute and analyti­cal people I have met in my life. His speech is incredibly concise, yet erudite and very cultured. He handled all the hassles that faced him in the program with ease and great clam. Every point he made was o f fault­less logic and perfect con- ^istensy.

Maybe he is right that cities can no longer survive
