^SSSt M- of Estimate Approves Xuts in College's Budget

By Lenny Steiglits Hearings on the City College fiscal budget ended last Thursday with the Board of

Estimate unanimously accepting the recommendation of the Budget Director's office. This recommendation cuts about $75,000 from the amount requested by the college to pay

^salaries, offices and maintenance expenses.

The budget now goes to the City Council which has no power to increase the budget.

Rudolph Halley, president of the City Council, who has three votes on the Board of Estimate, voted for the budget, although he had assured the Student Council Legislative Committee that he would oppose the cut.

The principal cut made in the budget concerned instructors. Money had been designated for the rehiring of the twenty in­structors dropped as a result of last year's slash. Also removed were funds earmarked for the hiring of additional instructors and the promotion of some of the present staff.

Of vital interest to the stiiHent body is the refusal of the Board to altow any monqr tor'the sup­port of intercollegiate athletics. This will result in a vastly cur-

: tailed athletic program in spite j of the. new one dollar fee. 1 Cuts were also made in the ap­propriations for non-instructional

i salaries. As a result there will be no increase in the custodial or

ideru?! staff. As this budget is an operating

budget there is no provision in it for building improvements or re­construction of Manhattanville. Budget requests for this purpose

pity has not been a food club this year. Few teams with 1-* records can be described by su­perlatives. Last Saturday, against Manhattan, their hitting was at fault. They lost 4-1, and their only run, i$p not produced by power-toden base knocks, but by a Manhattan catcher who had a fetish for grabbing swinging bats, and did so twice in one inning.

There were only about twenty-five people in the small wooden bleachers in back of first and third, as the Jaspers finished their fielding practice. But there was not room for all the CCNY

and coaching boxes. Part of the repertoire of one of the base­line coaches was vaguely remin­iscent at a crow. Just what effect these assorted sounds had on the outcome of the ball game is some­thing still to be determined by scientific inquiry, but it was one way of trying to influence the final results.

There were other ways of try­ing also. A few base hits in the right spots would have undoubt-ably helped some, but unfortu­nately these were not forthcom­ing. The pitching was adequate.

A warm breeze blew in from the Van Cortland Park track, off the right field foul line, plate.

The ageless cries of the game

Deoul shut out the opposition in relifcf. But the game dragged on slowly. At times the fielding and base running were terribly slop-

towards home[py on the part of both teams. The stands gradually filled un­

The usual barbs were thrown at the umpires, throughout the game, in the ninth inning, Tom Raferty. a Manhattan hitter was hit by a pitched ball and exchang­ed pleasantries with the Beaver bench as he ambled down to first.

It was a beautiful day for base­ball, marred slightly by the loss of the game.

But it was a successful day anyway, at least from the eco­nomic standpoint No costly bats were broken.

Thanks In an uncommon burst of speed and efficiency, the Stu­

dent.Council last Friday night voted to co-sponsor with the OP the drive to secure funds for the Manhattanville Youth Canter. For this action and their generous contribution we offer our thanks on behalf of the Center.

Lest W e Forget Last fall, when the basketball scandal was still making

page one, a horde of committees was appointed to investigate the deteriorating sports situation. At that, time it was re­vealed that two varsity men were declared ineligible because their records had been altered. Although they were not proved guilty, they were suspended from athletics "pending investigation."

Many months have passed with no apparent progress having been made in the effort to find the persons respon­sible.

Is the committee still actively engaged in the investi­gation?

What, if anything, have they uncovered? A problem of this magnitude deserves the benefit of any

light which may serve to illuminate and clarify the situation-Let's bring the facts out into the open—or is another

whitewash in progress?

Money Mastery The Student Council defeated a proposal by Lenny

Lederman which called for the setting up of definite max­ima for campaign expenditures. The council turned the mo­tion down because they deemed it "unworkable." The mech­anism of this rule could be worked out and enforcement fa­cilitated if bills had to be shown by a candidate for all cam­paign paraphernalia seen on the campus. This would include mailed handbills.

So spoke Dr. Ordway Tead, the then Chairman of the Board of Higher Education at the Inau­guration of Harry N. Wright as the sixth President of The City College on September 30, 1942, in the Great Hall

'President Wright," Dr. Tead stated, "you enter. upon your duties at a time of unpreced­ented difficulties. The charge which is today laid upon you is one, the complications of which we ourselves did not envisage when we asked you to assume your post."

But even without the "comr plications," the "charge" which was laid before President Wright was arduous enough'. In the years between the First and Sec­ond World Wars, college cam­puses throughout the country were stirred by the great issues of the age — war and peace, world organization, democracy, communism, and fascism, much as they are again agitated with similar issues today. These prob­lems, which directly concerned the future security of all college students, were of vital interest to the undergraduates of City College. Many questions arose, and conflicts centered around such issues as the ROTC, charges of communism and anti-semi-tism which were hurled at the College, and censorship of stu­dent publications.

During the administration of Frederick Bertrand Robinson, the fifth President of CCNY, these and other issues had been argued and fought back and forth. Growing unrest, traced to student and faculty dissatisfac­tion with Robinson's methods, led eventually to his resignation as president on December 19, 1938. R o b i n s o n ' s resignation marked the end of the most troubled and turbulent era in the history of the College. It was said of the retiring President that he was an "efficient, busi-

"unquestionably brought stabil­ity and tranquility into the con­duct of college affairs at a time when tension end conflict might well have been generated."

They are. as a group, cxtremely sure of themselves and intolerant of others. They know the answers: they know the truth. And *ith this comes that zeal to save the world. It is this zeal to save the world that I admire, ewn though it is for soonething that I do net admire. ,

Hal Goldsmith became the first Collegiate fencer in ten years to finish within the top ten fencers. Hal has been rapidly improving due to the expert coaching of both James Montague and Dan Bukantz. Nat Lubell, another former great City Fencer was un­able to participate because of a badly strained back.

journey today to West Point to .seek revenge for last year's 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Kay-dets. The Beavers currently stand 1-8 on the season.

The Beavers will depend upon either Warren Neuberger or Neal Deoul to bear the pitching bur­den for the Lavender. City will try to get their offense, which has been lax this season, rolling against the Pointers whose, main weakness this year is a poor hurling staff.

The home team has been so desperate for pitchers this cam­paign that they have been experi­menting with Dick Boyle, an in-fielder, on the hill. Otherwise the West Point nine depends largely

. 1 * ;

on Jim Jones, who is the only starter left from last year. Jones however is a questionmark on the mound in view <-f elbow'; trouble which has been plaguing j! him lately. However, o'.her start- ; ers will come from a promising;'. crop of rookies.

The cadets will have the ser­vices of two veterans around the; keystone sack. Vince Bailey andi John Oblinger give them a very capable double play combo. Toai Fitzpatrick, a hard hitting out­fielder is back from last year's team to bolster the' outer de­fenses.

Coached by Paul J. Amen, the West Pointers are striving to improve upon last season's 8-14-1 record.

Dreary Thoughts on

A Rainy Weekend By Herniaa 4. Cohen '

Locrossemen Face Powerful Datthmen Sot

Perhaps the student body shares the resignation of the genera; pt-pulai-e toward higher tax levies, for very few people outside of the OP Boifd of Directors seem to .show, aiw consternation at the lutest one dollar fee hike. A buck doesn't mean much during thesi-days of eighty billion dollar budget, but what about that good old "principle of the thing'*. Perhaps student acceptance conies from ••-tx Uef tn the value of varsity sports as a vital part of th» total edu­cational system. 1 hope so, but 1 see no evidence for it. Only a ref­erendum could have resolved that question. My belief in better uses for the money has prejudiced me to the point where 1 think tliat lack of student reaction comes from apathy, lack of thought. and ignorance due to the fact that most students don't read the Campus, the organ in which the glorious news was published. Wa.t 'till the Fall when the fellas and gals have to ante up. Remember when it was a measly two fifty for Social Science majors? Watch the bowls come September!

"Athletics build character, develop sportsmanship, make for a *iund mind in a healthy body, and are a nucleus for school spirit." j These are the various shibboleths designed to uphold the historical mysticism surrounding sports since the gods competed among the clouds of Mount Olympus. The "character" part of the classical dogma was shot to hell last year with the scandal revelations. The reason isn't hard to find. The coaches build character and coaches are chosen on the basis of knowledge of the sport rather than per­sonality. When a prospective coaching candidate is approached it's only a toss-up that he will have the character building attributes of a Bobby Sand, a Jack Rider, or a Joe Sapora. Now that we're re­minded of the scandals, what ever happened to those investigations designed to find the mark changers, etc? It's beginning to look like a quiet burial of the whole business.

The connection between school spirit.and athletics is the great­est hoax since Television's "Continental." School spirit that is a function of victory is artificial and not school spirit. The masses of CCNY students (myself included) who flocked to the Garden were bent upon psychological identification with the leviathans of toe court. When we played North Carolina SUte it was the C m ! War all over again. If it was the game and not the victory the same crowds should flock to the gym where they could get better seats.

Don't get me wrong. Competitive sports are healthy in a lot of ways. That's why I'm all for Intramurals and activity centered gym classes. But non-competitors should not be asked to foot the bill for the talented elite. They get absolutely no benefit from it. They won't even be admitted free to basketball games. Let the City of New York pay for varsity sports or let's not have them.
