WGTB Adds AM Format To Broadcast

by Mike Basile WGTB is now broadcasting on­

the AM band in addition to its FM programs. The change will provide a format "largely different from the FM," according to WGTB Program Director Thomas O'Brien (CoIl. '74).

WGTB-AM, O'Brien said, "broadcasts at 550 on the AM dial," and its musical format is primarily "commercial releases: 45 's or types ordinarily heard on popular radio." He contrasted this to the "progressive type of musJc on WGTB-FM."

The AM programming, he added, "began officially on January 23," and is "more conservative" in nature. "The different, more pop­ular type of programming," he'con­tinued, was implemented "speci­fically for the people in New South Cafeteria," adding "most other col­leges have AM as well as FM broad­casting. "

Board 0 K's Budget; Tuition, Housing Up With More to Come

by Mark Von Hagen The University Board of Direc­

tors approved a controversial bud­get that calls for a $200 room rate and tuition increase at their regular bimonthly meeting on Friday. Board Chairman the Rev. Albert R. Jonsen, S.J. warned that students should expect additional increases over the next few years. _

"The 'lemonstration' of Friday, Feb. 2, was imaginative and amus­ing," Fr. Jonsen said. "Yet, its point" was not lost on the Directors. We do appreciate the concern for cost and quality of education at Georgetown.

"I hope these students under­stand that we've reached the point of no return," Fr. Jonsen said before the meeting Friday. "We'll have tuition increases for the next three or four years. Then things will level 0 ff."

Last week's increase brings the tuition to $2,500 a year and room rates to between $650 and$850. The new budget also calls for increases in enrollment: 150 more under­graduates, 110 medical students and 47 law stUdents.

Revenues will increase by $957,080 because of increased enrollment and $1,245,100 as a result of _ tuition increases. The Operating Statement Summary reports a $2,970,700 rise in ex· penditures over last year, primarily in the instructional, library and student services areas.

The objective of the Board was "to constrain expenditures within the level of available resources while giving primary emphasis to the academic mission of the Univer­sity."

Other areas in last Friday's budget include:

New South receives WGTB's AM broadcasts on a "direct feed" basis and the station also can be received in Copley and Healy buildings. O'Brien mentioned that "eventually transmission will be expanding to Harbin and St. Mary's." The broad­casts are transmitted, O'Brien ex­plained, "through the power lines in each building, and the antenna for each transmitter is the electrical wiring in the building_

Mike Garcia (SFS '75), one of the group's four co-ordinators, said he has requested a joint meeting with top University officials, in­cluding University President the Rev. R. J. Henle, S.J. and Student Development Vice-President Dr. Patricia Rueckel. If the meeting is arranged, it will be conducted with the group's two lawyers.

Garcia cited a 1972 Supreme Court decision that colleges may not deny recognition to student groups "based on a mere disagree­ment with the philosophy of a group of persons. "

"We do have a good deal of legal counsel," Garcia said. The group's two lawyers are members of the American Civil Liberties Union.

The goal of the group "is to establish an organization in which

co-ordinators of the group wrote this week in a letter to Fr. Ryan. "An authoritatively accepted per­centage of homosexual preference in the national popUlation is set at at least 10 percent. Could the Uni­versity honestly state that it is openly willing to ignore approxi­mately 700 of its students?

"Georgetown University has for almost 200 years, through subtle practices, propagandized and en­couraged heterosexual relations while continually ignoring homo­sexual relations. In doing so, the University has succeeded in alien­ating its gay students, as well as promulgating an artificial concept of true masculinity a~d femininity."

Gay student organizations cur­rently exist at George Washington University, American University and the University of Maryland.

• An increase in utility costs in operation and maintenance of the Physical Plant department.

• A 20 percent increase, $386,000, in staff benefits.

In last week's Lemon Day demonstration students protested increases in tuition, room fees and enrollment without commensurate increases in the number of faculty positions.

Adademic Vice·President the Rev. Thomas J. Fitzgerald, S.J. said, "It's my understanding that we're the same on full·time faculty positions but we've had three part-time additions approved."

"The appeals have not falien on deaf ears; they are heard and understood in a broad context of the pressures from our recent past and our hopes for Georgetown's future," Fr. Jonsen said.

Tripping on Egos stoned soul / H.J. Nora

The biggest non-news to be encountered this semester are the upcoming student government elections. And so, in the finest tradition of stoned soul, we journey once again in that land of shadow, Healy Basement.

The presidential elections promise the traditional expenses, rumors, issue stealing, mud slinging brouhaha of past battles.

Tony Freyre has finally found a running mate. His difficulties arose from the insistence of former Voice news editor James Wiles that he find an experienced candidate. Making the mistake so many do - believing thai; the Voice tries to get involved with campus affairs -Freyre supporters began to think they might get a Voice endorsement by taking Wiles' suggestions. The first person Wiles told Freyre to contact was Betty Krob, who seems to have been supporting opposition canc;lidate Doug Kellner for some time. But Freyre found his own candidate, Wiles was offered a job with the Metropolis Globe and Sargent Shriver was told to take it easy.

Now that he has a ticket, Freyre is expected to polish the political skills he brought to last years contest. Again there will be posters in Spanish as well as English to attract the Latin vote. Having expressed astonishment last year at how many votes from St. Mary's-Darnall went to J.B. Kennedy, Freyre complained in the Voice that one of tl)e saddest things on campus were all of the Marymount girls being dated by Georgetown men while Georgetown women stayed in the dormitories. Not surprisingly his campaign was pledged (at least until today) to improve the social situation at Georgetown. When questioned on his views regarding tuition hikes and class sizes by a vice-presidential hopeful, Freyre expressed the hope that his fellow candidate would take care of the usual politics while he concentrated on holding dances and starting a Rathskeller.

I am all for this, provided that Marymount girls are not admitted.

Mudslinging also promises to be back. Rumors were circulating that vice-presidential candidate Neil Shankman had' overlooked mismanaged S.E.C. funds. These rumors got so out of hand that an audit was performed on the S.E.C. books and Shankman was completely cleared. Not to be outdone, one presidential candidate is hoping to get people to sign statements that another bought their votes last year.

Candidate Steve Kerrigan might pull off a "JB" this year. A sophomore with no record to throw at him, he might provide the breath of fresh air which will gurantee victory. Like Freyre, he knows many voters on freshman corridors and in Damall-St. Mary's. Like Freyre, he hopes to capture a mood among the students rather than belabor them with the platforms, flyers, speeches and other drivel which have bedeviled us every year around mid-terms. Where Freyre points to the bad social situation, Kerrigan points to the obnoxious political situation and reminds us that he is only a sophomore and not a politico trying to elbow his way past the rest of us into law school.

While Kerrigan may get the "Dumb Student" vote and Freyre woos the "Lonely Hearts" vote, presidential candidate Doug Kellner has sunk the lowest. The only candidate with experience, and one who hasn't run befote, he will have to content himself with the "Politico" vote. Admittedly, he wasn't too active in student government last fall. He was working for the State Department drawing up an anti-drug abuse program to be used with foreign service families. Kellner passed up an around-the-world junket to promote his program to run for student government.

If I'd known that law schools prefer student government at Georgetown to the State Department, I would have run myself.

But the most depressing candidate is Kellner's running mate, Neil Shankman. With the election centering around the social situation at Georgetown, Shankman offers a terrible record. He has brought SEC finances into the black, run the first profitable Homecoming Dance, established the movie schedule, obtained the Byrds, the Guess Who and Brewer and Shipley. And on top of this ineffectualness, managed to secure a $10,000 loan from Father Henle, reportedly the first time money given the administration ever came back.

This candidacy may not upset many students. But a competent student government will destroy the balance of power.

New Security Plan To Cut Book Thefts

by Marie Spagnoli A new security system will be

installed in the main campus library, Joseph Jeffs, University Libarian, announced last week. "Tattle­Tape", a variation on airport metal detection devices, is an irremovable electronic signal-emitting strip hid­den in the spine of a book. If the book is not properly checked out, an alarm will sound when it is carried out of the library.

is recorded by a computer. Whenever a student requests any

book that has been borrowed from the library, the request can be fed into the computer, Jeffs said. As soon as the book is returned, the computer will stop it from being refiled on the shelves, and the person waiting for it can be immediately informed the book is available.

The mechanized system provides accuracy and efficiency, Jeffs said. If an LD. card is reported missing, its number will be fed into the computer which will then prevent the card from being used at the library until it is restored to its owner.

The Uniyersity may lease Dunbarton's Notre Dame Hail to alleviate the Georgetown housing shortage. (Photo

Jeffs explained the need for the new system at a faculty senate meeting last Friday afternoon. "Security is a serious problem," which requires "a technological solution," he said. Many of the library's best materials are being "ripped' off" at a $25,000 to $40,000 annual loss. Bayh to Speak

In Search ·of Visionaries While it is obvious that Lemon Day did not

prevent the Board of Directors from raising tuition fees and enrollment next year, we can hope that the real significance of the demonstration - that students feel their education is souring - did not escape the Board.

True, the unconventional nature of the demonstration encouraged a somewhat jocu­lar surface response from the Board, but such tactics were in order. A more serious confrontation between the Board and student representatives would not have been an adequate statement of all the students feelings. The form of protest used allowed for both individual participation and the some­what more formal statements from Student Government and Student Academic Board spokesmen, though the widescale participa­tion probably argued far more eloquently.

That the Board should meet this innovative demonstration with such a predictable and conventional response is indeed disappointing.

This school is experiencing both educa­tional and financial crises; clearly this is not only a student concern, but also a concern for the Board.

If we c~>uld believe that the tuition and enrollment hikes are merely actions taken to weather the storm until a more suitable financial solution - that is, one that will meet the educational crisis as well - could be found, the impact of the Board's decision would be lessened. Such as an indication is not forthcoming and filling a financial gap with a balanced budget at the expense of quality education is too high a price to pay.

We continue to call for a restructuring of this University's priorities and point out that, a fiscally solvent _university is not equivalent to an academically solvent one. Further, we call for a review of the Board's decision process and membership.

Were all avenues explored in meeting these crises or did the Board content itself with this essentially inadequate response - inadequate because their solution of the financial crisis seems incompatible with the solution of the educational crisis? If the Board was only able to comprehend the situation in the context of this predictably conventional response, perhaps it is time to restructure the Board and make it more responsive to the University community.

Lost Opportunity

Apparently, unconventionality of approach is not limited only to the Board of Directors. Few professors, either in Government, Eco­nomics, History or the School .of Foreign Service, made any attempt to expand the scope of their courses. By taking advantage of the promimity and international participation of the Fifth Biennial Conference on the Atlantic Community.

The structure of CONT AC is not condu­cive to such participation. It is an artificial· structure into which the delegates are placed, one in which interest in particular subject areas may be offset by a lack of information and inhibition at exchanging ideas with delegates with whom they are originally unaquainted.

But these are strictly matters of organiza­tion. Though initially the seminar discussions are somewhat stilted they soon become lively and informative as delegates lose their

inhibitions and limit discussion to what is within the realms of.their personal knowledge and experience.

It is likely that any attempt by a professor to extend participation in the seminars to one of his classes would interupt the continuity of these sessions. This, too, is an organizational problem. The point is that no professor or department even attempted to bridge these gaps in CONT AC and make use of this unique forum of ideas.

Positive input is not out of the question, nor is greater Georgetown participation. Greater aid in cqnducting and planning the conference could reverse the trend of artificiality and irrelevancy that students seem to sense.

CONTAC could, be a valuable experience and teaching aid, if only the University would make the attempt to use it as such.

"We have made every effort to hold down expenditures in the 1973-74 budget, and, in most areas, have succeeded in doing so. No new programs are included in the budget, and budget requests have been reduced by $500,000, primarily in the administrative areas. For example, we have saved $50,000 through negotiating a new liability insurance agreement, and another $50,000 by cutting back housekeeping services in the offices of' faculty and administrators.

"Nevertheless, primarily because of inflation, the 1973-74 budget has increased by $2,971,000 - from $76,404,000 to $79,375,000. This represents an increase of 3.9 per cent, which approximates yearly cost of living increases.

"Basically, our new budget is an austere one, which permits the University to do next year what it is doing this year. To achieve a balanced budget, however, an increase in tuition and rental fees is necessary. Undergraduate tuition, if approved by the Board of Directors, will be increased by $100, from $2400 to $2500. Room rates for students will be increased by $100, making the range per school year from $500-750 to $650-850. This marks only the second' time in the past five years that room rates have been increased. .

"As for enrollment, we plan to increase undergraduate enrollment by 150 students next school year, from 4900 to 5050. This will have little effect on class sizes, which have averaged 30 students from 1969-72."

Wheatsheaf: Robert Strauss

Calm to Follow the Storm by Ivan M. Katz .

After a stormy period under the leadership of valkyrie Jean West­wood, the Democratic National Committee currently appears to be headed toward a period of relative harmony; a period that will allow it to once again settle down and go about its task of trying to win elections. The man responsible for this change in mood over at that Watergate office is the recently elected National Chairman, Robert Strauss.

have-to get back, and we lost them from all walks of life. The only group that has stayed with us substantially is the blacks." Strauss maintains that the problem with the party is that its priorities are rather cockeyed. "We sat around debating whether marijuana should be legalized, while the issues that the people really cared about were safe streets, a sane foreign policy, and the like."

Right now Bob Strauss has his hands full trying to get that amorphous glob of opinion known as the Democratic party into some kind of shape for 1974. If any man can do it, it's the amazing moderate from Texas.

When the McGovern Commis­sion report was issued in April of 1970, it was quick to point out in relation to what became its justifi­cation for a quota system. "It is the understanding of the Commission that this is not to be accomplished by the mandatory imposition of quotas." When asked what he would like to see instituted in lieu of a quota system, Strauss was frank to say "I don't know." He was quick to point out, however, that the "areas of agreement on the Commission report are substantial. The areas of disapproval are nar­row. We could put half a dozen of the leaders who disagree on the Guest Column

Democratic National Chairman Robert Strauss: "The idea that Strauss is going to scrap reform is silly. I have no desire to turn the clock back_"

Strauss, a Texas lawyer and long time protege of John Connally, had kind words for his predecessor, Mrs. Westwood: "She was cast in the wrong role, in the wrong place, and at the wrong time.

Fairy Tales Can Come True by Ken Koenig

Contributing Editor Lemon Day has come and gone, a sour

memory in the students' past. Tuition is going up, room is going up and (you guessed it!) the number of students enrolled at Georgetown is going up. Swift Potomac's Lovely Daughter is beginning to resemble The Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe and we all know that she had so many kids she didn't know what to do. About 150 more student§ are expected next year and roughly 75 more the year after that. So enrollment is supposed to level off at around 5,200 undergraduate students after 1975.

No significant increases in the number of faculty members are planned to meet the expanded enrollment, however. What is being planned is a 'sort of reapportionment of the present faculty members. According to reliable information, when certain faculty members retire from Iess. popular depart­ments, the position would be left unfilled in that department and a faculty member would be added to' some other more needy department. In this way it would be possible to ease the crowding in the upper division electives in the English, History or Fine Arts departments, for example, while not signifi­cantly increasing the number of faculty members.

Speaking of the English department, they received one new faculty member this year, but they offered no new undergraduate upper division electives (at least in terms of quantity). Instead, they offered three new graduate courses. Thanks, fellas.

. Many students have noticed that new and strange (for Marty's) things have been going on in Marty's this past month. Like tablecloths and candles and-live music on the weekends. This metamorphosis is the result of

the Food Committee's efforts to turn Marty's into an on-campus meeting place that doesn't cost the student an arm and a leg.

Food Service Director John Bengovi says that he is definitely encouraged by the response of the students to the experiment, although he hopes for more student involve­ment with the venture.

The University has apparently devised a system to prevent future library thefts. The system calls for library books to be magnetized. When the books are checked out, they are de-magnetized. Any person leaving the library will then pass through a detector similar to the metal detectors in use in the nation's airports. If the books have not been checked out, an alarm will be sounded. This system is already in effect in the Medical Library and informed sources say that it will be operative in Lauinger this summer. The system sounds foolproof, but I have great confidence in you.

The Student Activities Commission has been hearing budget requests from organiza­tions for the last two weeks. Commission Chairman Glenn Corbett reports that over $240,000 has been requested, but the commISSIon is authorized to grant only $190,000, at most. Some organizaiions failed to attend their own budget request hearings. Taking his cue from Fr. Fitzgerald, Corbett said that the commission will .make up the budget request for those organizations.

The Student Senate voted 22-7 last Sunday night to grant speaking privileges to one designated member of the Alumni Associa­tion. This was reportedly done to forestall efforts by the Alumni Association to reduce student representation in that organization. However, some observors see the move as politically motivated so that Joe ("B") George can regain his long-lost power in the senate. George was unavailable for comment.

universities as rotating crops were to agriculture.

Moss' seed of thought is based on the flowering proposition that produce may be valuable in sym­bolizing the crisis in maintaining high quality education.

By taking advantage of the multitude of symbolic leafage found in produce, today's students can take an active role in re­directing the priorities of their floundering private universities. There is no question that the spoilage of the traditional goals of small classes, high quality profes· sors and teaching facilities are going down the drain in the race to acheive the status of a state university garbage disposal.

"Imagine if students opened up a produce stand in Healy circle. Just think of the impact you could have on the admissions office if thousands of chick peas were delivered with that famous caption "A chick pea here, a chick pea there, too many chick peas crowd the air."

I questioned Moss on further applications of produce prolifera­tion on campus, as getting the point across to administrators is merely half of the baked potato.

"Once university officials got the message," he said, "they could sell the produce to the food service, thereby increasing revenue as well

as the quality of food served to boarders. Students could even hand pick the produce they would eat that night for dinner."

I asked what students would do with the money from the sale of the protesting produce.

"The money! What do you do with the money?" he shouted, throwing an overripe eggplant against the wall. "Well, my boy, buy a bigger produce stand, then get refrigerated vegetable bins with electronic scales, turn Copley lawn into a giant air-conditioned shopping mall with carpeting, wood panelling, moving sidewalks and marble steps and then start grow­ing your own vegetables on Kehoe field to cut expenses and become eligible for farm subsidies and then ... "

He was gesturing wildly with a hoe and shouting something about a world produce fair. Rising, I excused myself on the pretense of having a luncheon engagement with a vegetarian. I could still hear him as I walked through a small cornfield and out of the building.

It seems that in produce protests as well as education the problem of priorities arises. Looking back, I couldn't help noticing the motto of the Department of Produce and Spoilage: "What is fresh today won't always be fresh tomorrow." And so it goes.

Ryder COIDlllunity Plan Calls, for Coed Floors

(Continued from Page 1) Lyddy said. "The concept is taken from Haley House, a similar project at Boston College, only we have 16 more students and three more priests."

University officials were hesitant to comment on the experimental project because they had not seen the final proposal when interviewed this week.

Student Development Vice­President Dr. Patricia Rueckel said, "We sent a letter around to the academic Deans and the campus ministries staff asking for experi­mental programs, so we're not un­friendly.

"They do seem to have put the cart before the horse when they're talking about finances and money. I don't know where they got the figures, and they probably should have consulted Dean Of Residence Life Yokie."

to renegotiate the cost of the con­tract with the Jesuit Community. They own Ryder and have let us use it for free for the past two years.

"Also we have to have the house filled with students. We certainly can't drop below the 34 people housed there now," the administra­tor added.

Neither Fr. Sinclair nor John Lyddy seemed worried about the number of students included in the program. Of possible disagreement with the administration, Fr. Sinclair said he was "a great believer in crossing bridges when they're reached.

"On the number of students, it's a value decision, quality or quan­tity," the priest said.

"The station," he added, "will provide a training ground for people who either want to go on to FM broadcasting or who would like to do radio programs that are not progressive music, such as straight classical music, or ethnic music."

Approval of the plan would hinge on several questions, Dr. Rueckel said. "First of all we have

In addition to popular music, WGTB-AM will be "airing specials which have peculiar Georgetown significance," O'Brien said.

The student govern­ment interviews are tentatively scheduled for Monday at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday at 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Thursday at 7:30 p.m. O'Brien also revealed plans for an upcoming "discussion-interview with Student Government President John B.

Tom Thumb Is a Giant THE LIFE AND DEATH OF TOM THUMB. At Stage One Fri., Sat. at midnight. Thru Feb. 17.

"P Street has turned to farce!" We most heartily endorse the sentiments of the excellent Mr. Scriblerus Secundus on this score. In an age that has its full share of pedantry and pretension, Tom Thumb the Great has arrived to do battle with all the giants of theatrical nonsense.

Director Nicholas Scheetz is to be complimented for his fine sense of style and tasteful wit. In his direction we see combined some very striking reflections on the nature of the theatrical enterprise. Some will certainly belittle his endeavor because it is framed in farce. These objectors are the lowest of pedants! Skillfully manipulating the farcical elements at his command, director Scheetz has caused us to recognize, amidst

- our laughter, what it is that makes tragedy compelling and what de­stroys its fascination. By provoking our laughter at the pitiful attempts of some tragedians, he has caused us to reflect on the true nature of tragedy.

The problem is an old one.

mood of the play. The costumes, designed by Shirley Hubbard and Raye Hoffman (with assistance from Prof. Parody of G.W.) are by far the finest that I have ever seen at Stage One. Daniel Mellin and Kerry Witkin have put together an audacious lighting plan that proves that lights can do more than save the stage from darkness. The music, provided by Bachofer, Subkowsky and Rosemary, was a good touch.

I don't know what lucky star has blessed Nicholas Scheetz, nor what virtue justifies it! His cast is as fine as his technicians. His hero and heroine, Ronald Ridolpho and Mary Jane Brown, deliver solid, complete performances. Both have their difficulties, though, since neither seem to be in a position to compete with the utter insanities of the rest of the cast.

tion of the style of farce with the object of its assault, we need only turn to the "commentator", who periodically intrudes upon us with his "enlightened" observations on the action of the play. Karl Lanocha (Scriblerus Secundus) is simply perfect in the role of pendant and unwanted guide to the art of tragedy. His constant inter­ruptions make an excellent farce in themselves. If we saw and heard nothing else but his empty expo· stulations on tragedy, we would know full well the nature of the abuses that so provoked Henry Fielding.

Mr. Scheetz is to be thanked for bringing this breath of fresh air, free of pretension in its intent, into Stage One. It is by far one of the finest productions that this review­er has ever seen at Stage One. In its freewheeling wit, its faultless co· ordination of all elements of production, Tom Thumb the Great promises to be a rare treat to anyone fortunate enough to see it.

Joseph Bisordi (King Arthur) is an explosion of absurdities, though he plays his role a little too broadly. If he never seems to be a king, then his baser, less kingly moments do not strike us with quite the absurdly funny contrast that they could produce.

Beautiful People THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE. Directed by Luis Bunuel.

What can you say about a film in which six people sit down to a meal that they. are never quite able to finish? Well, if it's Bunuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, "Two, please" is a good start.

Once again Bunuel turns his attention to the manners, actions and foibles of the bourgeoisie. The bourgeoisie are played by what could be called a European all·star cast-the most notable being Fer­nand Rey (of Bunuel's Tristana) and Stephane Audran, last seen in Claude Chabrol's thriller Le Boucher. Also starring are Jean­Pierre Cassel, Delphine Seyrig, Beille Ogier, Paul Frankuer and Julien Bertheau.

These six people are constantly sitting down to a meal when they are interrupted by a series of amusing and perplexing events. One time they are beseiged by the French army during its war games, while in another instance a curtain rises and they find themselves on a stage before an audience.

In one of the funniest scenes in Discreet Charm, Stephane Audran and Jean·Pierre Cassel are in the middle of love-making when their dinner guests arrive. Frustrated, they climb out a window and run into the garden where they will not be disturbed. The guests, learning of this sudden and mysterious departure, leave quickly, fearing that the house is about to be raided. When the couple return, they are greatly perplexed to find the house empty. Ray, who is the ambassador of a small, civil·war ridden country, uses his diplomatic immunity to smuggle narcotics to his friends. -

The most perplexing sequence begins with the six ,diners walking on a long road which has no apparent beginning or end. In the numerous repetitions of the scene, the only change that occurs is in the person who leads the group. Is

it a dream or a reality? This is a question that Bunuel seems to be asking throughout the film.

Dreams are an essential part of Discreet Charm which could be viewed as a jumpy but continuous dream. What seems to have been real turns out to be a dream of one of the bourgeoisie, and this new scene turns out to be the nightmare of yet another character.

Bunuel is not always gen.tle with his cast. Although he does not use a head for a bell clapper as he did in Tristana, he does have bloodied and grotesque corpses return to life in order to seek revenge. He even has Bertheau, who plays a bishop, murder the killer of his parents after he has administered the Sacrament of the Sick to the dying man. This scene especially makes one wonder what has happened to the ideas of Christian brotherhood arid forgiveness.

The greatest social comment on the bourgeoisie can be found in the bourgeoisie' themselves. They are so cool and well-mannered that they accept all the strange events in a casual and almost indifferent way. They are able to take just about any situation in stride. Perhaps their nonchalant behavior could be attributed to taking the narcotics they sell, and perhaps the film is one of many _drug-induced dreams.

Bunuel may even be making a serious comment on life. Life might not be as ordered and as rational as :would like to be believed. It may well be a dream, whether drugs are involved or not.

Whatever The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie may ultimately mean, it is nonetheless a truly engaging film. Not only is it both amusing and puzzling, but it .also has some of the most attractive bourgeoisie ever on the screen.

If you can stand the frustration' of never seeing these six people complete their meal, then wait in line-it will be worth it.

Larry Peters

There are those who implicitly believe that they can achieve tragedy and tragic effects by mimicry, by offering us convoluted language, high and lofty gestures and heavy sighs. But such super­ficialities are incapable of capturing the essence of tragedy. Since Aristotle, critics have been aware that tragedy relies heavily on its ability to draw the audience into the mood and thouj!ht of the drama. More than a specious show of emotion is needed to achieve this.

fault, but for her extremely fine sense of timing. Her comic style is well paced to the action of the play.

Paying for Our Sins

In 1731, Henry Fielding gave example to these thoughts by ridiculing the superficial attempts made by some to achieve the tragic effect. Fielding's pleasant farce strips away the veneer and leaves us to contemplate the absurdities of pedantic mock-heroics. To my delight, Mr. Scheetz has entirely caught the -spirit of Fielding's attack. Whether you are interested in tragedy or not, you will be delighted by the hilarious goings-on in Tom Thumb.

I was also impressed with the tremendous coordination that Scheetz has been able to inspire in his co-workers. Every element of the production has conspired to bring about a complete embodi­ment of the director's ideas. The set, designed by Daniel Mellin and. Joseph O'Connor, is simply beauti­ful. It neither distracts from the action, nor fails to support the

You fall into your bed and wrap yourself in sheets so that when they come to take away dead bodies, they will not see your body-just another corpse not even considered worth a burial.

And then, on your death bed, you realize that many others would succumb in the same manner that you and your child had died.

The story you have just read is not true. It is part of the terrifying science fiction novel created by the team of Watkins and Snyder in Ecodeath, a story of our times.

It is the story of pollution and the men who become rich by polluting. It is ~so the story of those who will suffer and die from the foul air and water permeating our earth. Watkins and Snyder portray a world where people are killed from a deadly organism which thrives on the by-products of

pollution. It happens, as happens in the

majority of science·fiction, that the annihilation of the entire human race does not come off .. If it had, Ecodeath would have been biting off more than it could chew. Predicting the end of humanity as a direct result of pollution would have been a bit much.

But no, we are mercifully spared the ultimate melodrama as the rebellious human spirit overcomes apparent doom.

But all in all, Ecodeath is nothing' more than any other science fiction. It follows all the patterns-the super-beings, the struggle for human survival and the unanswered questions mystifying the reader throughout the noveL

However, Ecodeath does strive for relevance. Despite the often inane presentation of the book, the underlying horror is real. Pollution can become the "black death" o~ the, twenty-first century. ,

What has been said in this book of death? Basically, if pollution is not stopped, it will be the end of human life. But more philosophi­cally, mankind must and will pay for his sins-even if it be by his own destruction.

When a musical's overture has the audience snapping their fingers and smiling at the tunes of over fifty years ago, the show is already on the way to providing the entertainment needed by the in· veterate playgoer, who may be just a little weary of psychological

"probing and violent catharses. Sometimes the age-old story of boy and girl has a sufficient quality for an evening~s diversion. Or, as one of the show's characters says, "She thinks he's ... you know, and he thinks she's ... well-but it's much more complicated than that."

Better casting to develop this complication could not be imagined. Debbie Reynolds in the title role is exuberant and delight­ful. Although past roles can often weigh an actress down, it is no slight to recall Miss Reynolds' pull-ou t-the-stops-character of Molly Brown. In Irene, she is Ninth Avenue's Irene O'Dare, who holds

her own against the inertia of the Irish ghetto while planning to make a success of her business ventures. As one step to that end she places an extra "A" on her AAAAA Piano Tuning Service to put it first in the phone book.

Irene is tough, hard to compro­mise. But when her JOYous spirits are soaring, she leads the Ninth Avenue gang in a heel-kicking jig and later cavorts on the pianola with energy that" brings the audi­ence to enthusiastic applause. Miss Reynolds' flair for casual comedy highlights her Monte Carlo charade as she gulls the Hamptonians into the Riviera Rag, all the fashion­improvised then and there.

Neither is she stranger to ele­gance. Her Irene Sharaff wardrobe culminates in a breathtaking Alice blue gown; she literally stuns the stage into its happy-ever-after finale.

Irene's business partner cum ignorer of women cum Prince Charming is played by Monte Markham, in the role of Donald S. Marshall III. Until now a television personality, Markham is all a leading man should be. Tall, rugged, frowning in "constant confusion over the fairer sex, this business man undergoes a transformation enjoyable to follow.

de needle which he hopes to stick in New York society's fashion sensibility. Irving admirably walks a narrow line-suave enough but aggressive enough to avoid what could have been a misconceived effeminate stereotype. Elegant he is, but Madame Lucy is all man.

Ruth Warrick as Mrs. Marshall is oh-so-proper as the mother-hen socialite intending to marry off her eligible son. In good contrast are Carmen Alvarez and Janie Sell, who as Irene's friends must improve their postures and mannikin the latest fashions. They, as the uncom­plicated females, are the ones who convince Marshall that he is as great a lover as Valentino. -Irene does not strain the basic conflict of the show, that of poor girl and rich boy. Disappointments in the progress of love carry with them" all the expected tears. Courtesy is a breathing ethic and manners can be cultivated without being stuffy. Perhaps this is due to the minimal plot, which takes the expected number of detours before the last kiss.

Into the Latent Horror A stuffed-shirt who stumbles a

few tentative steps with Irene in the early music-room scene realizes with amazement that he is in love with his business manager. But his attempts to swain her are clumsy; their scene with the pianolas reveals a little more of his humanness that collapses, however, under his ego­tism. Not until "The Great Lover Tango" does he break his very proper bindings. This scene alone could be Markham's vehicle for musical comedy success; his frown breaks into self-confidence and his danCing is marked with a wit and humor that at last endears him to the delighted audience.

As in many musicals, the book takes second place to the produc­tion numbers. Neither the charac­ters nor the audience think the lines facetious, but both sides of the proscenium always seem to be tuning up for the next song or dance, all of which are done to perfection. Nothing is lacking, be­cause not,much is demanded.

Taxing questions are also a standard of musicals, but they dissolve into the music that sets every mood into its proper per­spective. When the scene is lifted into the unreal world of a song in a garden, the conjunction of words and music lets the audience treat it imaginatively and come away with a sense of resolution.

A PUBLIC PROSECUTOR IS SICK OF IT ALL by Max Frisch. Starring Shepperd Strudwick. Directed by Zelda Fichandler. At the Kreeger, through March 1I.

Henrik Ibsen wrote, "I am here to ask questions, not to answer them." Max Frisch, in Arena Stage's magnificent production of the American premiere of A Public Prosecutor Is Sick of It All, follows Ibsen's aphorism with sensitivity and perception.

The play was first performed in Zurich in 1951 under the title Count Oederland. It is, as the stage notice reads, a crime story in ten sp.enes. But it is not a whodunit, a Swiss Sleuth. Frisch delivers a titilating foray into the psychology of man in discerning the intimate connection between normal be· havior and the abnormal criminal act.

In Scene 1 a respected public prosecutor (Shepperd StrudWick) is pacing up and down his study at 2 a.m. tortured by the whys of a brutal murder. What would make a reserved bank clerk, whose "biggest passion was collecting mushrooms", turn around and axe a fellow­employee to death?

Next the public prosecutor has "vanished into thin air."

Forget ab"out trying to rationalize the play from here. Whether the prosecutor is absorbed in a dream, the sub-conscious, or distorted reality tantalizes the audience. But more important is the intricate linkage of scene after scene, scenes which would be hopelessly dis­jointed if not in the hands of a master. Clearly, Frisch's early train­ing as an architect shines through in this delicate construction.

The public prosecutor is in a woodland hut; he becomes an axtl-wielding murderer of three policemen; he is a Jean Valjean leading a rebellion in pitched battle with the authorities in the sewers. Meanwhile, familiar- faces in un­familiar guises whiz past the prose· cutor (or the rebel leader, or ... ).

And more. The prosecutor's alter ego, the catalyst for his

anxieties, is inexplicitly pardoned, released and shot down after sleeping with the wife of the man he killed.

After much ado, the final scene entitled "Law and Order Are Restored" returns the dignified public prosecutor to his stUdy. Two hours have elapsed since the open­ing of the play. His dream is over, he thinks. But no. Gunfire reverbe­rates outside. Street fighting has erupted. And the president of the nation comes to effect a smooth turn-over of power with the dazed prosecutor.

The staccato activity of the scenes and within the scenes per­plexes, mystifies, yet intrigues. The haunting suggestiveness of a sadis­tic, crazed, axe-wielding drive in all of us, of the narrow boundary between the good citizen, the anarchist street fighter and the mad hatchet murderer permeates the stage.

Precise performances of so com-

Poetry

plex a work are mandatory. The Arena gets them. Zelda Fichandler's direction is superlative. Simple gestures and position carefully link scene with scene.

All the way down the line bravos are in order. The sets expertly exploit the stark modernity of the Kreeger. Lighting is pinpoint and the careful color symbolism of the costuming cannot go unheeded ..

Sheppherd Strudwick in the title role meets each new demand with convincing control. To be ap­plauded for her diversity as well as her captivity is Diane Wiest, the seductive and spine-chilling house­girl, fairy, woodsland girl and rebel strumpet among others.

A Public Prosecutor is a fine piece of theater. It is a stimulating expedition into the latent horror of incomprehensible human nature. You will leave the theater troubled, but something more than you were when you entered.

Robert Hayes

Lesser roles-if so they can be called-are filled with both sea­soned and debuting faces. Patsy Kelly, dear to more than one generation, is alternately tender, dumpy, pseudo-sophisticated, pious and fighting-Irish. As Irene's mother, her charm is indisputable; her moments on stage combine her lack of conscious attempt and the inevitably hilarious results.

George S. Irving has moved from his recent Presidential spoofing to the role of Madame Lucy, his nom

What is amazing is that Irene was around in 1919, and that it is strong enough in its new look to carry across the message by virtue of its both sensitive 'and rousing music. "Alice Blue Gown" and "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows" are set pieces that lose none of their appeal. "What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For" and "The Riviera Rag" are toe-tappers that involve the rhythms of the audience as well as those of the orchestra and dancers.

Amusing, charming, energe"tic, professionally executed-plaudits to all involved with Irene.

But this detection Of gaps in the development of personalities and theme betrays, perhaps, a short-sightedness into what seems essentially Bergman's method.

This translates technically into a reliance on color balance, the use of the close-up, and frequent flashbacks. In the characteristic Bergman touch-the relentless zoning-in on the face-

photographer Sven Nykvist has brought out masterfully the ero­tesque contortions of Agnes in pain, the chill and fear of Karin, the sensuousness and dissatisfaction of Maria, the accepting earth-mother quality of Anna.

The use of color appears initially to be less controlled. In Bergman's first departure from direction in black-and-white, The Passion of Anna, the Use of color symbolism was striking, perhaps because the natural colors of the sea and the forest contributed the necessary balance. With Cries and Whispers we move into an interior landscape where the all-pervasive blacks, whites, and reds strike one as obtrusive, as heavy-handed rather than suggestively compelling. One wonders, though, if perhaps just this sense of something overdone wasn't intentional-to propel the audience into early realizatioR of the manifest unreality of the atmosphere; to prepare for the dream or waking dream in which the dead awake; to caution immedi­ately against a reaction to the literal movement alone.

to settle together, which Powell views as natural since "people want to live together. They want to live with their own kind."

According to. Powell, this has led to a feeling among the indigenous population of being "colonized" by Oriental peoples, and he feels it probable that "cities ceasing to be indigenous will be intolerable to the rest of the population."

The result has been a net emigration of the indigenous white population which, conversely, raises the "colored" proportion of the population even higher.

Challenged by one British CON­T AC delegate to work for a "multi-racial" society, Powell re­plied, "If I believed it to be possible to be practical to reconcile the population to the prospect, then I would welcome and second it."

However, he continued, "I do not believe this to be the case."

When questioned about his pur­pose in speaking against the im­migration, Powell said it was better for the British people who believed the Asian influx to be harmful to have a voice in Parliament than to feel it necessary to seek -otper outlets for their opinions which could be more destructive.

A Politician Who Quotes Shakespeare by Andy Lang'

It's difficult to place labels on Enoch Powell. A lot of people would like to, especially those who have labelled him a "white supre· macist" or a "racialist." You realize the labels are hopelessly inadequate when you talk to the man, as I did for 30 minutes Wednesday mQrn· ing.

I was surprised by Powell's ap­pearance when I was introduced to him. He was a nervous little man,

. dressed in a gray and black pin· striped suit. But as soon as he sat down for the interview, he relaxed and took cgmmand, as if he were delivering a carefully prepared speech to Parliament.

The reporter is confused by the personality of an English politician, largely because of the stylistic differences between a Tory legisla­tor and his American counterparts. What conservative American politi­cian could quote Shakespeare with ease or draw readily from a knowledge of classical Greek?

empire? Up to the 1960's we continued to live in a dream world. It's almost unbelievable that Harold Wilson, as late as 1966, would say, 'Our frontier is on the Himalayas.'

"It's all evaporated now, this dream, and fortunately there are no troops in the East, except for a vestigial forcejn Singapore." .

Powell was reluctant to talk about the Vietnam ceasefire. "I'm glad to know that pegple have stopped killing each other, or at least less vigorously," he said. "I would not try to say what is good for the inhabitants of Indochina, just as I would hope they would not try to say what is good for the inhabitants of Great Britain. The one is as presumptuous as the other."

Powell said he was disillusioned with the present Tory government of Edward Heath, especially with the ,Prime Minister's policies on economics, entry intv the Common it.... Market and the war in Northern Ireland. "I supported the policies be against it. The majority of

people in Britain are against it and it will not stick.

Lynch's attempt to suppress the I.R.A. in his country: "The LR.A. is as dangerous to his form of government as it is to Ulster. One thing that is impossible for an Irish politician is to connive at anything that might lead to the continuance of the union between Ulster and the U.K."

Powell spoke of his first ex­periences in British politics. "I've been in Parliament 23 years and I went into politics when I came out of World War II. I came home from India in February 1946 and I got a telephone book and looked up 'C' for the Conservative Central Office. I asked for the chairman and I said I wanted to work for the Conserva­tive Party. I fought a by-election within a year which I didn't win. Then my district became Wulver Hampton and I got in by a majority of 691. My majority now is 14,000.

"You will immediately conclude that the change in plurality is due to me. Actually, it's due to a change in geographical voting pat­terns."

Enoch Powell is proud of his country, but he is also a realist. His views on the decline of the British Empire are important for Ameri­cans who recognize that we are approaching the end of the Pax Americana. "Why do we need an

Powell talked about the role of the politician in society. "It's folly and presumption to say, 'This ought to be the policy of my country after I'm dead.' I should think Americans might wonder if this were so after the past 20 years. The dreams of the politicians 20 years ago: Where are they now?

Recruiting: Searching For Student-Athl'etes

Cheerleaders.­For the Defense

by Mary Quinn Chicago Seven ... Catonsville

Nine ... Would you believe the McDonough Twelve? These are Georgetown's cheerleaders and, for better or worse, they're all we've got. Possibly Georgetown has it a lot better than most frustrated jocks are willing to admit.

Aside from the basketball and football teams themselves, they are about the only ones who spend upwards of twenty hours a week practicing for and going to the games. Not many-from the Geor· getown "sophisticate" to the "animal"-give as much as the cheerleaders towards winning a game.

provided with transportation or money for meals. Eight people in a Cougar to Penn. State or twelve people in a station wagon to Fordham is typical of the way we travel. And all the expenses incurred are paid out of our own pockets.

Does the negative attitude of the spectators make it all worthless? "No!", says Pee Wee emphatically. "We've got a lot of great new plans for next year. We've even met with other cheerleaders to pool ideas and draw from common experiences.

"Besides that, when the players come off the field or court and say 'thanks for being here', that in itself makes it all worthwhile."

ball Tournament is still six weeks off and yet John Wooden and Lefty Driesell are already thinking of next year. Both of these coaches are excellent recruiters and once again their forte faces them ominously.

Just as the future successes of Maryland and U.C.L.A. depend on the recruiting of this spring, so also does the future of the Hoyas depend on the success of Coach John Thompson in this area. Coach Thompson has laid the groundwork for a Georgetown powerhouse in the near future and the success of that powerhouse depends on the outstanding student-athletes he is able to attract to Georgetown. Last year Thompson successfully completed one of the greatest recruiting coups in recent memory and a repeat performance would assure basketball excellence at Georgetown for years to come. -

Outstanding high school athletes in every sport are being bombarded by advance scouts, coaches, alumni and literature from every conceiv­able college throughout the nation and each of these college represen­tatives has to comply with regula­tions established by the N.C.A.A. to regulate the recruiting, so as to make the system more equitable. Some of the areas regulated are entertainment of the athlete, campus visits and recruiting at athletic events.

The track recruiting has been very successful in recent years and

the long jump qualifies him for the IC4A meet next month. Other point scorers were Rich Mull(880) and Joe Mattingly(60 dash).

Perhaps the greatest significance of the meet Sunday centers around the indications it gives of George­town's chances in the IC4A meet to be held at Princeton on March 3 and 4. The overall strategy of the track season is to have the top runners of the team in top shape both physically and mentally for the IC4A's. To this end Coach Lang has been giving his excellent two­miler Mull various assignments over the past few weeks. Mull, who qualified for the IC4A's early in the season, ran the half mile Sunday as well as another half-mile leg on the two-mile relay. The strategy is to have Mull ready to run his best race when the big meet comes up in March.

Although Georgetown is still a couple of years away from chal­lenging seriously for a team trophy, Coach Lang feels that a few of his squad have a shot at being point scorerS in this year's meet. The IC4A's draw competitors from as many as eighty colleges on the Eastern seaboard and Lang's even­tual goal is to show that George­town can compete on this level of competition. Apart from Mull, Groneveldt has a good chance if he can break the 7 -foot mark he flirted with Sunday, while Allen is a threat in the 60 yard high hurdles. Lang also has high hopes for his two mile relay team.

The preparation process will continue this Saturday as George­town will field team members in two events-the Indian Invitational in Williamsburg, Va. and the Mason­Dixon Games in Louisville, Ky., as the indoor track season moves into its final month of competition.

Booters Building For,'73 Season

by Greg Kenny While regular season play may be

over for the Georgetown soccer team, members have been prac­

~ tieing in anticipation of next fall's demanding schedule.

h~\ Coach Paul Kennedy feels that post-season practice is extremely important in building a top team. He contends that players "must not be satisfied with just making the team or a winning season. They must also strive for the best through total year-round dedica­tion."

Rick Sandri, one of the two returning juniors adds, "Soccer is not a sport that can be picked up in a few weeks prior to the season. Championship teams are built through off-season dedication."

Coach Kennedy is looking for younger players to develop this spring, as a number of key starters, like M.V.P. Reed Goldsmith, will be graduating. It is with the other regulars, aided by the added strength of forward Pat McNertney returning from junior year abroad in Spain, that success in the '73 season will depend.

Sport clipping: Alumni attack animal section.

Once again letters condemning the animals are pouring into the Athletic Department. Doubtless the animals have heard the sermon on "Immaturity" before and are tired of listening to it. And while they are but a small portion of students attending Hoya games, it is doubtful that the other students are morally outraged by their language. When a student hears a four-letter expletive uttered, chances are he won't turn blue and fallout of his seat.

The 'animals feel their actions will help psyche the team. Certainly their spirit is overwhelming. Yet aside from the ethical question of the rights of others, even if a minority, to be shielded from foul language in public, it is unclear whether the animal section does aid the team.

First, can one actUally argue that the ballplayers are impervious to the shouts of the crowd unless some cuss words are interspersed with those shouts?

Second, the alumni are threatening and some already have cut off donations. Does it help if one's actions deprive the team of the resources it needs to build a winner? It is easy to belittle the importance of alumni contributions but, then again, the alumni weren't the ones who paid this year's $100 tuition hike.

The situation worsens as the animals extend their sphere of influence. For instance, at the St. Joe's game, the male cheerleaders were heard joining in several animal cries. It is in poor taste for a University-sponsored organization, such as the cheerleaders, to engage in that which the alumni and many others find highly' objectionable.

Sport clippirig: Students shatter Mc­Donough windows at the St. Joseph's game.

With the sellout crowd the gym doors were shut 45 minutes after game-time. It seems that a group of students, some of whom had already purchased tickets, were less than pleased at being locked out and decided to smash two of the windows at the entrance.

This time the animals outside the gym ' were thwarted. It is likely that the Athletic Department would have attempted to refund the money to those ticket holders who were locked out, but fear of a break~in or of an usher being jumped (which happened at the Maryland game) precluded this. Eventually everyone left and the animals outside the gym, unlike their brethren inside, were effectively stifled.

It will be a busy off-season if the team is to better last year's 6-3-5 record, which was the best won-lost percentage in Georgetown soccer history.

Certainly no one will argue that this is adequate payment for services rendered. Yet it is a decent gesture extended to the forgotten men of an unforgettable experi­ence. It is also a rare day when the Lords of Baseball do something that will cost them any money whatsoever. In this case, they are to be commended.

At this time it would also be commend­able for Georgetown to embark upon a similar program. Recalling that the Uni­versity has a committment to the Washing­ton community, it is time to set up a student sponsored program enabling kids from the inner city or local handicapped children to come to Hoya basketball and football games. True, the quality of Hoya play is less than that of organized baseball, but at least it is a chance for the kids to get out and do something different.

Coach Thompson has already brought some groups into his "coach's corner," a twelve s~at reserved section in the gym. We believe that the University, a· wealthy, Christi~n university, can do much more.

The Athletic Department should be agreeable to this: regarding basketball games hopefully we can rely on Coach Thomp­son's personal committment to the com­munity; regarding football, the seats are empty anyway. And how much trouble can it cause the department to set aside some seats for each home game?

Help will be needed to contact various groups, to take care of transportation, to coordinate the gate lists ... Perhaps in this area the various on-campus service organi­zations, the fraternities, B.S.A. and so forth, can contribute, unless they merely provide services for themselves.

For overall leadership and funding we could call on Student Government, but J.B. is leaving and it is still unclear whether the four presidential candidates will embark on the usual "peace" talk or organize some more junkets to Mississippi, a la Roger Cochetti, or will do something worthwhile.

Some students will brand this as "mawkish sentimentalism," an easy out for the average Hoya who has crusading ideals ... Any interested individuals or groups should get in touch with The HOY A office.

With the suspicion that there are far more animals at Georgetown than those sitting in the basketball bleachers, there is room for pessimism regarding student involvement and a belief that this is to be a souring experience.

Ruggers Starting Spring Schedule

New players have a chance to meet the returning veterans as the Georgetown Rugby Association organizes in Harbin Lounge next Monday evening. The main purpose of the meeting is to answer the questions of those who may be unfamiliar with the sport.

This semester's officers intend to begin practice sessions immediately, with greater emphasis on the ball-handling and tackling aspects of the game, the two weak spots last season. The ruggers were also plagued by poor play execution and expect to improve on this area during the early practice sessions.

The Club's Secretary, Steve Gannon, emphasized that the first week of light drills will stress instructional facets of rugby, enabl­ing newer players to become acquainted with the team's style of play.

With a nucleus of some 35 men returning, the team hopes to improve on last year's "A" squad 2-8 record ("B" squad maintained a .500 posting.) One of the standouts is Kirby Smith, a junior who was nominated for wing-forward to the D.C. All·Star team. It is also hoped that those seniors who played Hoya football this past season but will not be back, will join in this related sport, bolstering the club's ranks.

Runners Stun Rutgers by John McGowan

Behind the -strength of high jumper-triple jumper Bruce Grone­veldt the Georgetown University track team surprised Rutgers Uni­versity 511;2 to 46 in an indoor meet at Princeton last Sunday. The win improved the team's record to 5-2-1 with wins over Temple and St. John's in the same meet:

The victory served as an en­couraging step in the continued training of the young Georgetown squad that carries only one senior. Another plus of the meet was the J. V. competition that preceded the varsity events. Several members of the J. V. squad ran personal bests as Coaches Jack Linden and Joe Lang got a chance to size up the Hoyas' future in track.

In the varsity's triumph, Coach Lang particularly singled out the performance of Groneveldt. Grone­veldt took his event with a jump of 6'-10", which ties his school record set last season and represents an improvement of four inches over his best jump this season. The

Other outstanding performances were turned in by Kevin Reilly, the Hoyas' other indiyidual winner, in thp. 880 with a time of 1:54.5 and Steve Caton and Conrad Zink in the mile taking second and third with times of 4:10.8 and 4:14.6.

Intral11ural 6AII-Star' Possibilities

by Mike Pasano The turn of semesters has

brought mid-season to intramural basketball and this seems a reason­able time to go out on a cold, lonely limb and pick an all-star team. In fact, since there is both an A and B league on the independent scene, why not two squads?

Competition in A has been fierce; most teams are excellent, and perhaps best of all are the defending champs, the Rhode Is­land Crabs. So it only seems fitting that they should place the most men on my imaginary list.
