ADA REACTION Campus Americans for Demo- cratic Action President Dave Lawrence reacted to the "win- in" with ridicule. "I think this is a failure to deal with tiie problems of the Vietnam war," Lawrence said, "I don't think the analogy of this war to World War II is valid; in fact, I think if s stupid."

He added, however, that the University will not acquire any more apartment dwellings, such as the Cheston, unless it is economically feasible. "My view is that the University will be a participant to some extent in the construction of the houses," Hamwell said. "The houses, as originally proposed, are too expen- sive for us to construct.

USSR Policy Called Failure

The Soviet Union's foreign policy was called "an internation- al failure" Friday by an expert on Soviet Russia.

Dr. Samuel Huntington, Har- vard University professor of gov- ernment, attributed this failure to growth of American influence throughout the world at a con- ference on the Soviet Union, spon- sored by the International Affairs Association at the University Museum.

Huntington predicted that fu- ture historians would view the United States, Soviet Russia and Red China as "expansionist pow- ers," but that "the first would be regarded as successful expan- sionists, and the latter two as frustrated powers."

FILLED COLONIAL GAP Huntington said that the Ameri-

can, Soviet and Chinese expan- sion filled a gap "left by the great colonialist powers."

China has unsuccessfully tried to fill the colonialist gap in Southeast Asia, Huntington said. He continued," The Soviet Union has attempted to follow a col- onialist policy in Eastern Europe since World War II."

"FAT AND CONTENTED" The Soviet Union has become

"fat and contented on the eve of its fiftieth anniversary," Hunt- ington said.

The world needs a "policeman organization," Huntington said. He added that organizations have filled this role until the present time only with the help of the United States and its ajlies, but that in the future, the U.S. bloc may need a strong ally.

Along the same line, Hunting- ton predicted that the strong ally may be the Soviet Union. To support this supposition, he brough up the Red China-Soviet Union dispute.

NOT EQUAL COMPETITORS During a review of U.S.S.R.

Foreign policy, Huntington claim- ed that the United States and the Soviet Union were never equal competitors in the colonial- ist race.

Calling Khruschev "rash and impetious," Huntington charac- terized his foreign policy as "in- effectual." He called Brezhnev and Kosygin "colorless," and pre- dicted a period of "relative quiet" in Soviet colonialist affairs.

He cited domestic problems as hampering the Soviet Union's thrust towards the outside world. Capital goods as well as consum- er items are in short supply in the Soviet Union, said Hunting- ton, and this blunts the "Russian attack in the outside world."

Student Government has estab- lished a temporary legislative committee on intramural and in- tercollegiate athletic affairs, fol- lowing investigations of two al- leged violations of Ivy League rules by the University.

The committee, approved un- animously at the UPSG Monday, will meeting, "aid student ath- letes in gaining adequate advis- ing and counseling," and "insure the development of an athletic program consistent with a high

level of education and within the framework of the Ivy tradition."

UPSG also passed overwhelm- ingly the report on housing rec- ommendations from the Student Advisory Committee which strongly supports "implementa- tion of a House Plan," though conceding the possibility of al- tering the traditional Plan be- cause of lack of funds.

UPSG President Alexius Con- roy called the committee report "a pretty logical presentation of the facts, though not as emo- tional as I thought it would be" He added that many students "have a stereotyped idea of what a House Plan is," and said such a plan "is a concept or philo- sophy behind construction, not an actual building plan."

Assembly speaker James Ro- senberg expressed support of the house plans in use at Harvard and Yale, but added that "the Committee's realization of the impracticality of a house system of that type of their new sug- gestion of a modified House Plan is excellent."

The Assembly also approved guidelines for allocation of acti-

IF Council Hosts Foreign Students At House Dinners

As part of international week, the Interfraternity Council is students at fraternty houses. sponsoring dinners for foreign students at fraternity houses.

Approximately half of the fra- ternities have offered to partici- pate in the program which is being conducted this week. For- eign students are also taking part in another I.F. program through which they attend fraternity par- ties.

Tom Brown, head of the I.F.'s foreign students committee, said that the dinner program is anoth- er way for I.F. to become active in foreign students week, and he said that it was also an attempt by I.F. to make the foreign stu- dents at Pennsylvania more aware and informed about the fraternity system.

Brown said that a report will be compiled after Skimmer Week- end of the success of the frater- nity party invitations to foreign students. He also said that he was exploring the possibility of instituting a regular dinner pro- gram at fraternity houses for for- eign students so that "better cul- tural exchange between the fra- ternities and the foreign students will be possible."

Letters to the Editor

No Monopoly Events this week concerning the

Wall and its decorators have proved one thing: No one group on this cam- pus has a monopoly on anti-intel- lectual juvenilism.

When opponents of the war in Viet- nam "painted-in" last Sunday, they were naturally convinced of the propriety of their work. When sup- porters of Administration policy whitewashed those anti-war slogans, opponents of the war were justi- fiably indignant about such arbitrary censorship.

A day later a group of pro-war propagandists painted their views on the same Wall, and, in light of the furor over freedom of expression which had raged on campus for two days, they had a every right to ex- pect that their ideas would stand

untouched for at least a day or two. They were sadly mistaken. The lesson of Sunday and Monday

went apparently unnoticed. The same individuals who had one day before claimed that their minority anti-war opinion suffered the censor- ship of an arbitrary majority them- selves became the censors and pro- ceeded to erase those views with which they disagreed.

A principle that has been much discussed this week might bear re- petition. Emotion, nihilistic censor- ship, and name-calling will not lead to a resolution of the Vietnam de- bate. Unemotional, analytical dia- logue may furnish a partial answer. Both sides in the debate must come to that realization and act accord- ingly.

MYOPIA AND BLINDNESS Editor, Daily Pennsylvanian:

There are on this campus two kinds of people: the blind and the myopic. The myopic have been fairly quiet, while the blind have been shouting and cursing loudly, while running into each other, around each other, and butting heads with each other. Of these blind there are two types to be distinguished: the "peace- mongers" and the "war-creeps." These are unfortunate names, for they automa- tically associate peace-lovers with long- haired, bearded, unwashed, sandled, irre- sponsible wall-painters and war-supporters with skin-heads, militant, brainless, and bull-headed.

There is, in addition to the visual short- comings, an unpleasant disease rampant in this student body, the same one present in the body politic in Washington. We have had ample illustration of this in the past year, but the incident of the wall- painting has opened these syphilitic sores to the sight of those blessed with mere myopia.

Peace has never been truly established through the painting of billboards or through the interchange of words and ideas, live ones, not dead, sterile ones. In this wall-painting incident and the re- actions thereto we see, just as in Viet Nam, two parties completely blind to one another and, like children, unwilling to meet face to face to carry out in a mean- ingful way a debate, an interchange of or- ganized ideas, in order to test their strength and validity.

The wall can introduce, but hardly settle, arguments. All the wall has pro- duced is further misunderstanding, a sharp- ening of antagonisms, and escalation. True, action speaks louder than words, but action without words is anarchy. We have a large group of scared children who are carrying on a "Yes, I did—No, you didn't"

NEARING RETURNS

The Years Have Passed, Not the Memories Hundreds of students filled the

lecture halls back in 1915, when Scott Nearing was at the height of his popularity as an economics pro- fessor in the Wharton School. A successful teacher and efficient ad- ministrator, he was loved by his students, who later said of him," he made us think ..."

Half a century later, only forty people gathered to hear the 84-year- old gray-haired professor, face wrinkled, but still exhorting vigor- ously.

Scott Nearing had been dismiss- ed from the faculty in 1915 with- out a hearing, without charges, and without previous notice.

What happened in 1915? In Nearing's words: We had a group of eight of us in the Wharton School who had taken seriously the pro- nouncement of E. A. Banhaise of the University of Wisconsin that anybody who taught at Wisconsin must do three things: Research, teach, and work to build this ma- terial into the life of the communi- ty. So that's what we tried to do.

STUDIED CHILD LABOR "We took this very seriously,

and each of us undertook a project, worked on a problem. Mine was child labor."

He was told his unorthodox views hurt the University, and he should expect neither a promotion not an increase in salaiy. Nearing published on many radi- cal subjects, including wages, war, elec- tions, education.

"Nearing is loaded with well-chosen and effective facts and he knows how to get them across," said his contemporaries in 1915. "He has made his radicalism ef- fective."

He did not neglect his students, as some modern book-minded pro- fessors do. It has been said Near- ing was "a genius with the fresh- men," for whether they agreed with him or not, he made them work and he made them think.

And so the 32-year-old assistant professor could justifiably say that he was "quite surprised" on receiv- ing a letter dated June 15, 1915, from the Provost, Edgar Fahs Smith:

"My dear Mr. Nearing,

"As the term of your appointment as assistant professor of economics for 1914- 15 is about to expire, I am directed by the trustees of the University of Pennsyl- vania to inform you that it will not be renewed. With best wishes, I am,

"Yours sincerely, Edgar Fahs Smith."

'I had sensed it," said the pro- fessor, as he recalled how he had just retired to the country for the

summer when the fateful letter had arrived.

"We were all young and aggres- sive. But in a sense we were not surprised, for we knew that the free speech controversy had been going on for years now and it was just a question of when the light- ning would hit. Let us just say I was surprised but not taken aback."

That night 1500 letters were in the mail, letters going all over the country and to every newspaper in Pennsylvania.

EDITOR OUTRAGED Outraged at what the University

had done, E. V. van Balkenberg, edi- tor of North American, put his newspaper at the service of Near- ing and his associates. "He put his best reporter on the case, and the columns of the paper were open to us. We ran a series of stories for six months," Nearing said.

Students and faculty were also on his side, although many of them thought he "talked too much," Nearing said.

The campus newspaper, then only The Pennsylvanian, reported that on April 20, 1915, two months before Nearing's dis- missal, the Wharton School Association had placed itself on record as being in favor of absolute freedom of speech with- in the School.

"We are attending the Wharton School for the purpose of learning as many things as we can," stated the group's newly-accepted consti- tution. "In the world we expect to come into contact with men of every shade of thought. We can see no reason why we should not hear

various viewpoints expressed in the Wharton School."

ADMINISTRATION SILENT Yet the University administra-

tion was silent as the controversy raged. The Inquirer of June 16, 1915, commented wryly on that year's commencement: "The con- troversy over freedom of speech of socialistic professors and the at- tempts of certain interests to sil- ence then was untouched on . . . Nothing happened to disturb the colorless neutrality of the Univer- sity's calm and peaceful attitude."

Half a century has passed since that eventful year, and Scott Nearing has not forgotten the University's slight Neither, however, has he been forgotten. Every year the University's alumni office sends him information and "requests" and every year he replies with the same thing: That diplomatic relations are very strained be- tween himself and the University and that he regards his dismissal as unfair.

"We can only come to terms if the proper authorities will reopen the case to public discussion," Nearing said. And this would be the sole condition for the former professor to return to take an emeritus position.

"I enjoyed my teaching very much," Nearing commented, Mon- day "and I still regard myself as a teacher by trade although my last academic job ended in 1917."

Nearing now owns and runs a farm in Har^orside, Maine, which he cultivates in the spring and sum- mer.

He said that he will "speak to any group, anywhere . . for the future lies in the hands of today's student groups."

The fact that an enthusiastic group of students attended his lec- ture Monday night shows that his faith has not be misplaced.

His generation may have forgot- ten him. Our generation has not.

type of senseless bickering, finally abusing themselves on the wall.

This letter is not written in defense of one side or the other in the Viet Nam war issue. It is a plea to both parties in this argument for some sort of rational debate some form of adult, human behavior.

The above letter was submitted un- signed. It has been published in spite of that fact because it reflected an opinion of obvious merit which was not treated in any other letter.

FREEDOM FOR EVERYBODY Editor, Daily Pennsylvanian:

I naturally deplore strongly the recent barbaric "paint-out" of anti-war posters on the campus. But in all fairness it should be pointed out that the anti-war groups themselves have engaged in their own "paint-outs" around the country, in those cases where they have deliberately tried to break up meetings and drown out speak- ers holding different views. Freedom of expression is for everybody, especially on a university campus.

Edward B. Irving, Jr. Associate Professor of English

WHITHER VIRTUE? Editor, Daily Pennsylvanian:

I read with dismay a "quote" (being aware of The Daily Pennsylvanian's abil- ity to distort quotations) of one of those who participated in Sunday's paint-in. This person vocalized that Sunday's paint-out and Monday's paint-out-paint- in was typical of " 'the anti-intellectual attitude held by many students here at Penn. It shows their unwillingness to en- ter any rational debate.'"

First, I should like to point out that be- ing in support of the Administration on the Vietnam war is not necessarily an anti- intellectual position, nor is dissent to the war predicated on intellectualism.

The peace slogans that I saw did not strike me as being particularly intellec- tual, e.g., "Bannanas for Peace." I should think that an intellectual should at least be expected to spell Banana correctly, or be able to decorate the wall with a sig- nificant statement of his position.

Second, the comment about "rational debate" seems particularly grating since several anti-war people were at the wall calling the painters Nazis or other such rationally thought-out epithets.

I realize, of course, that those engaged in the paint-out-paint-in were not espe- cially virtuous in the above categories either, but I am greatly annoyed that the anti-war people should consider them- selves singularly possessed of these vir- tues.

Referendum (Continued From Page 1)

way the referendum can serve as an in- dication of anything is if there is a large turnout. We're hoping that we will get some idea of what the general policy of the student body is.'"

Steven Kuromiya, one of the coordinators of Vietnam Week activities, said that he gets the "feeling that certain groups, strongly organized, like fraternities, will ask all of their members to vote in a certain way."

He said that the vote should be broken down by fraternity houses as well as by sex and school as the original plan calls for.

Asked about his hope for the result of today's voting, Kuromiya is looking for "evidence of enlightenment of students as to what's really going on in Vietnam."

He criticized the survey as being too unscientific, but said that a large turnout would at least show that students are thinking.

Tom Lamont, president of the Univer- sity's chapter of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), said that the referendum will "provide a decent estimate of what people want" although "there is no way to support the status quo."

'Battle of Bands' to Kick-off Skimmer By MARK COHEN

Coming! On April 18, at 7 p.m., there will be "largest assemblage of bands in the history of Phila- delphia." Twenty to be exact. They will compete for prizes and future fraternity parties: thus the event is billed "the Battle of the Bands."

From Wibbage, there will be the Magic Mushrooms, as well as the Intruders. There will also be Brenda and the Fabulations, the Mariner Four, who started last summer in Cape May, Jackie and the Manchester — they give out books which Jackie won't auto- graph — the Perfect Four, the Paper Train and the Chicago Blues Brigands.

STEADY BLAST Plus eleven (!!!!!!!!!!!) les-

ser known groups. All the bands will play a variety of music: folk, rock. Blues, Soul, and Motown.

There will be a steady blast of music, emceed by Joe Niagara, as well as Bill Wright or Jerry

SEVEN EAST SPECIFICALLY Philadelphia-bred band to help kick off Skimmer week.

East is short for Seven East Balti- more Pike, where Barry Keefe, a former member of the group sign- ed a sizable recording contract. The members of the group hope to have similar luck.

In addition to the 20 bands, there will be two dozen go-go girls. Or will the 20 bands be in addition to the go-go girls?

Publicity Chairman Jay Sharp thinks the latter. "Knowing the Penn man's mentality, these girls will be the main attraction," he quipped.

The leading go-go girl will be

Lynn Crackett, who holds the honor of being Miss Sepia Amer- ica. She briefly made national headlines when she became the first Negro to ride in a float in Atlantic City's Easter Parade.

Miss Crackett will do the Hot Hula, the Tahitian Hula, the Ha- waiian Hula, and the Atlantic City Hula.

The purpose of the all-star show and mixer is to get Skimmer off the ground, to produce a "Skimmer blast-off," according to the Interfraternity Council, spon- sor of the event.

International Week began with a flourish last Sunday night with the presentation of Kaleidoscope Internationale in Irving Audito- rium. Producing a potpourri of exotic and intriguing cultures, the performers filled the stage with colors and sounds of thirteen for- eign countries.

An enthusiastic group of Univer- sity students, the majority hailing from foreign lands, composed the energetic cast. Throughout the evening the able young persons struggled valiantly to fill long lapses with spontaneity and zeal.

A major critcism of this well- intentioned program of entertain- ment en masse is the poor co- ordination of the show. As the night progressed, the Kaleido- scope began to assume marathon proportions. By the time an inter-

misson rolled along, the audience was ready for it.

Despite many annoying lags in preparation for numbers, most of the entertainment was highly en- joyable. Robin Cummings, re- splendent in authentic tartan kilt, performed ably on the bagpipes and filled Irvine with several marches and airs from his native land.

Folk dancing filled much of the program. Dances from the Philip- pines, Formosa, Israel, Colombia and the Balkans all gave insight into some of the joyous customs of those countries. The festive costumes, many of them sewn by performers themselves, added to the authenticity of the dances.

Special praise should go to the University Balalaika Orchestra and the Lincoln University Afri- can Center. Repeated requests for an encore called back the spirited numbers of the Orchestra. The members of the Lincoln Univer- sity group, attired in leopard loin- cloths captivated the audience with the atavistic-yet-graceful ritual dances of Africa. Accom- panied by wild drums rhythms and chants, the troupe was clearly the most outstanding act of the evening.

Despite awkward pauses and the extreme length of the pro- gram, Kaleidoscope Internationale fared passably delighting the au- dience. Through Kaleidoscoping entertainment from foreign lands, the sponsoring International Week Committee brought the Univer- sity a little closer in understand- ing its universal brothers.

\ The War of the Paintbrush, I The Thrill of the Crowd \ammmmmmmmmmmmKmmmmmmmm ^'' Arkow

Though Hamlet rambles and Lear rages, And all the drop-scenes drop at once Upon a hundred thousand stages, (Tragedy) cannot grow by an inch or an ounce.

—Yeats, "Lapis Lazuli"

All the world's a stage, but sometimes the stagehands can run amuck when it comes to choosing the backdrop scenery. And since there's a wee bit of the amateur artist in all of us, well, it's the age- old principle—give a kid a paintbrush or a magic marker and he'll turn himself loose in Graffitiville.

This phenomenon was easily observed during the past few days, as peaceniks and warniks battled it out with paint-brushes and rollers as the paint-outers competed with the paint-inners for the honor of settling Penn's official Wall attitude on Vietnam.

Once upon a Sunday the anti-war doves decided to psychedeli- cize the Wall and voila! we had art. But then the pro-C-B defoli- ation hawks defoliated the greenery with some midnight skulking and there we were again, back to the clutter.

Undaunted, the peace people waged full-scale war on the war- niks, whitewashing the whitewash and starting all over again on Monday.

By now, the war-weary campus guards had given up the merry chase along the "outrage plywoodal," and left the control up to the Philadelphia fuzz, as the fraternity boys staged another paint-out Mon- day night.

Meanwhile a growing group of apathets was realizing the ab- surdity of the whole mess and was J.O.'ing the wall with pro-polo and pro-pogo plugs and trees (remember the tree crusade, huh? Wan- na try it again, gang?). A similar clan of Warholian anti-artists cried, "Let's have a rowbottom and tear the whole damn thing down!"

(It was beautiful). It was kinda like Huck Finn in a Harris tweed and Tom Sawyer

in a grubby sweater: like 200 Kilroys matriculating at Penn; like Joshua's PR men drawing bulls-eyes on the target before tearing down the walls.

It foreshadowed Sunday's "be-in" and revitalized last year's orig- inal paint job. It provided a focal point and a controversy this school has desperately needed since S.O.S. It simultaneously exemplified the 50-50 fraternity-independent split at Penn and typified their unity in controversy, individual thinking and fun.

(It was beautiful). And the spectators and the audience cheered, and Cy's conces-

sion stand was breeding ice cream cones, and the flash cameras took care of thelighting and the lyrics were provided by spontaneity. There was no director, no producer, just hundreds of actors in search of themselves, of a plot, and of ICR. And the Rorschach Wall came alive, changing every minute, flowing with the public whim. Tomorrow the cement mixers would return and foul the decorations with dust, but for now it was On With the Show.

It's amazing how two violently-opposed student groups, massed together to outdo each other's art, can themselves become the art, can become an instantaneous be-in, can completely confuse the trivial issue each was trying to determine—Penn's Ivy image as a war-or- peace university—and build up the true Penn imag? of opposing forces of unity.

(It was beautiful).

House Plan Delayed Continued from Page 1

the possibilities of the House Plan as possible.

"There were strong favorable views towards implementing the House Plan," Wishner said. "But we can't have all the glorious facilities of the original plan."

The new study would investi- gate which of the original ideas are still "essential" to the House Plan. "We need a thorough defi- nition and a thorough costing be- fore we can tell how much we can do," Wishner explained.

He also said a new plan would not include favoritism in choice of residents.

Although she has not heard much about Chestnut Hill, Coach Vosters is confident that her team will win. Judging from past performances, the opponents should not be too outstanding.

"Part of the houses may be built by private contractors," Harnwell said, "but some of the facilities in the houses, such as libraries and common rooms will be paid for by the University. We realize that no private firm would be able to afford the con- struction of the Houses unless the University participated in the project.

"We have not yet decided whether the houses will be un- der the direct control and main- tenance of the University or whether outside firms will be used. The recommendations will come from the Committee on Housing," the President said.

Harnwell said that the $5 mil- lion renovation of the Men's Dor- mitories will begin this summer, as recommended by the Trustees in January. He also said that work on the Freshmen Commons and dormitories for about 165 graduate students in the triangle next to the Men's Dorms would begin this fall.

The President said that private contractors will be encouraged to build housing for married grad- uate students on the edge of the campus area.

UPSGCommitteelnvestigates University NSA Membership

A committee of UPSG will con- duct an investigation into the value of the University's member- ship in the National Student As- sociation, it was announced yes- terday.

The Joint Committee on In- vestigations and External Affairs has begun to interview campus figures with relations with NSA in order to determine the purpose of Pennsylvania's membership in that group, according to Dennis Cohen, chairman of the commit- tee.

Cohen said that National Stu- dent Association membership has

shrunk in the past few years. He attributed this shrinkage to un- popular stands taken on behalf of its membership by the NSA, These stands, Cohen charged, do not reflect the opinion of a major- ity of NSA members.

APPOINTMENT MADE !n a related development, new-

ly appointed temporary NSA Co- ordinator William Mandel, a Col- lege sophomore, has announced plans to organize Ivy members of NSA into a bloc for this summer's NSA Congress.

"The image of NSA is badly tarnished," Mandel said, "we hope

to organize some of the more re- spected schools in the NSA into a reform bloc. We hope to have a coherent program by August, and will attempt to use the pres- sure of union to force NSA to accept our program."

Mandel said that Daniel Fin- nerty, former UPSG Assembly- man, had contacted several NSA member schools along the same lines. Columbia University was in- terested jn the "bloc" idea, he said.

The joint committee investigat- ing the University's membership in NSA will submit a report to the UPSG Assembly before the end of the semster, according to Cohen.

The delegation from the Uni- versity will be guided by this re- port, he said.

Should you sjp_ beer?

We'd rather you wouldn't. Sip- ping is for wine. It's the best way to appreciate the delicate taste of a fine vintage.

But not beer. Especially not Budweiser. Bud® is a hearty drink brewed with lots of character, and the best way to enjoy it is to drink it. (Not chug-a-lug ... just good healthy beer- drinker's swallows.)

Give it a try. Open a Budweiser and pour it into a glass . . . smack-dab down the middle to get a healthy head of foam. Now .. . take a big drink. No sips.

Good? You bet. This is how beer should taste. As we keep saying, Budweiser is brewed with exclusive Beechwood Ageing to give you a taste, a smoothness and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price.

So pour your beer with a flourish. Drink it with a flourish. (And maybe a pretzel.)

PAGE EIGHT UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1967

FROM THE PRESS BOX

The Students Role wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tarry Krohn

More than just good luck and the efforts of Dr. Fields are needed to get Perm's athletic revival off the ground.

The entire "new image" will be on trial in the early years of Dr. Field's regime and it is in this period that his plans face their sternest and most decisive test.

For the program cannot possibly succeed without the aid of a most important body—the students of his university.

Penn students can bolster their athletic program in two ways. The first, participation in recruiting, is by far the more important, especially for the incipient stages of Dr. Fields' athletic rebirth.

The problem of overcoming alumnus apathy is a real one that Dr. Fields must confront immediately. At present, the alumni do not recruit to any but a small degree. Pres- umably, they will not recruit vigorously until winning foot- ball and basketball teams provide sufficient stimulus. But how can Penn sport winning squads without the aid of al- umnus recruiting?

STUDENT EFFORT IS THE ANSWER The answer is through the students. If students can sell

Penn to high school seniors during the next two or three years, they will furnish the impetus necessary to build up momentum for Penn's athletic ascent.

And surely the word of a student means more than the promises of a pledged-to-Pennsylvania alumnus. Few stu- dents maintain an unquestioning allegiance to their univer- sity while matriculating. They are generally more objective than alumni in recognizing their school's weaknesses, as well as its strengths. High school athletes know this and would be more easily persuaded by a student than a graying graduate. And who better than the students know which athletes in their areas are capable of meeting Ivy academic standards?

Penn students will have more quality to sell secondary school athletes than ever before. While it can hardly boast of a gorgeous campus, the University is making rapid prog- ress in the development of its faculty and facilities.

The increase of professors teaching on the undergrad- uate level and the addition to the faculty of such brilliant scholars as Dr. Alfred Rieber and Dr. Henry Gleitman serve at attractive inducements. The Gimbel Gym. Franklin Field track. Van Pelt and Dietrich libraries, nlus the Moore and Rittenhouse additions offer further enticements; so do the new tennis courts and hockey rink that are expected in the near future.

If Penn students really want a higher caliber sports program, they must immediately sell the University's merits to secondary school athletes capable of Ivy League work. Of course, the admisions department makes the final deci- sion, but a conscious effort by undergraduates could neutral- ize much of the advantage currently enjoyed by Princeton, Yale et al in the realm of athletic recruiting.

And it is necessary that students make the initial moves in recruiting, because the alumni cannot be counted upon until they see tangible evidence of a winner.

UPSG COMMITTEE TO WORK WITH FIELDS The second role that students can play is in an advisory

capacity to Dr. Fields. UPSG, on Monday night, took the first step in this direction by establishing a temporary committee to work with Dr. Fields on athletic policy.

The committee's goal, among others, is "to insure the development of an athlete program consistent with a high level of education and within the framework of the Ivy tradition."

Although Dr. Fields fully approved the new committee, he will not necessarily take its recommendations to heart. Fields' decisions are made independently and he is free to ignore the advice of associates and interested groups.

The student committee, however, if used properly, can serve as an important sounding board for University under- graduates. While unable to shackle Fields' power, it can function to promote student interests and to act as a watch- dog on Weightman Hall activities.

In addition, the UPSG committee, or any body of re- sponsible students, could further hasten Penn's athletic success by coordinating the student recruiting program re- ferred to above.

COORDINATED EFFORT NEEDED A synchronized effort to canvass all Eastern, as well

as other, high schools and prep schools might sway enough athletes toward Penn to rejuvenate the University's athletic record even without the aid of alumni. In short, the fruits of student recruiting can be maximized only through a co- ordinating committee. The UPSG group could furnish the much needed centralization.

The bored masses at Franklin Field need no longer feel powerless. With responsible, competent leadership, stu- dent recruiting could become a vital factor in Penn's athletic renaissance.

High school athletes can no longer look condescendingly at Penn's offerings. But it will take Penn students to inform them of the University's merits.

Penn's athletic program needs the cooperation of many undergraduates. The degree of cooperation it receives will prove a real test of the student body's mettle.

Quakers Play Owls in City Clash, Meet Dartmouth in Weekend Tilt

By STEVE RUTTER

Penn's varsity baseball team sees action with two clubs in the next three days, as the Quakers go against their third Big Five opponent of the season at Temple University today, and return home on Saturday for a conference game with Dartmouth at 2:00 p.m. on Stewart Field.

Against Navy on Tuesday, Penn outhit the Middies (9-7), comitted fewer errors (2-3) and left fewer men on base (9-13), but the Quak- ers issued 12 walks against three for Navy and couldn't preserve their slim 1-0 lead without con- trol pitching.

Although Penn beat Temple last year 7-5 when the Owls fin- ished with a 20-5 slate and sec- ond in the MAC, the game today should be a tough one for the win-hungry Quakers, as Temple lost only three regulars from last season's club.

OWLS LOSE LEWIS The biggest loss was first base-

man Ron Lewis, who hit .393 and was one of the nation's leaders in runs-batted-in. Replacing him at first will be either Steve Pitler, Bill Colbert Harry Gilbert or cen- ter fielder Jim Walker.

Jesse Hodges and Les Roos, who hit .342 last year, will re- turn at third base and shortstop, while Bob Peffle, Chico Sacchetti or Mark Petrelli will take over departed Carmen Ferullo's job at second base.

The probable outfield line-up will have Walker in center, Rod Clabo in right and Mike Torpey in left. If Walker moves to first base, Greg Stagliano may start.

The strongest part of Temple's club this season is their pitching, with Joe Hindelang and Hal Werntz returning from last year when their respective records were 7-3 and 5-0.

The Owls currently sport a 10-3-1 record, as they split a double header with Penn State and beat LaSalle on Tuesday to make their Big Five record 2-0

PENN 2ND SACKER PETE WISNIEWSKI gets to tag out Middie Captain Bill Sorensen in the third inning of Tuesday's game. Navy came from behind to drop the Quakers, 5-2.

after a previous win over St. Joe's.

The Quakers are currently 0-2 in city play with losses to St. Joe's, 17-9, and the Explorers, 7-3.

On Saturday, Penn's nine will try to even its conference slate at 2-2 with a home game against Dartmouth.

The Indians open their Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League schedule with Columbia on Fri- day, trying to improve on their current 5-4 record from "south- ern swing" play.

RYZEWICZ LEADS INDIAN HITTERS

So far, second baseman Gene Ryzewicz leads Dartmouth at the plate with a hefty .432 batting average, and also leads the team in stolen bases with seven.

Ryzewicz is complemented de- fensively in the infield with shortstop Mickey Beard, who though making only 2 errors out of 44 chances, has allowed his .302 hitting mark of last year to fall to a present .200.

GolfersEdgeOutRutgers Frosh Remain Unbeaten

By DAN KAPLAN Penn's golfers almost got blown

off Rutgers wind-swept course, but held on for a 4-3 victory.

The Scarlet Knights proved to be a much tougher opponent than they were last year and sparked by their number one player and All-American candidate, Dave Moroskin, made the Quakers fight down to the wire.

Arthur Kern played one of his finest matches of the season, a one over par performance, but Moroskin proved to be just too strong. The sophomore from Rut- gers, who has a good chance to be selected to an unattached position for the National Tourna- ment, knocked Kern out on the 17th.

LONDON COMES FROM BEHIND Penn took the next two posi-

tions, however, on a strong finish from second man Dave London and just generally good play from third man Ted Lingenheld.

London, down three after the 14th hole, managed to tie his opponent on the 18th and then win it on the 19th. Lingenheld was not quite as dramatic winning 2 and 1.

Doug Spring also picked up an easy win, 4 and 3, while Jeff Green, playing 6th, scored the final Quaker win on the last hole.

Both fifth man Craig Weatherly

and seventh man Bob Hoye lost on the 18th.

The weekend ahead features tough golf for the Quakers. They face Columbia and Brown, Friday afternoon, on their home course and then travel to Annapolis to meet Navy, Saturday.

Penn has not lost to Columbia in ten years, and has never faced Brown in dual meet competition. Coach Bob Hays is hoping for two good matches on Friday, but doesn't know exactly what to ex- pect. Navy, always tough, should be no exception this year, and Penn can look forward to rough going against the Middies.

FROSH WIN ANOTHER Marv Newburg canned a 20-

foot putt on the 18th green to win his 5th slot match and clinch a freshmen victory, also 4-3, at Rutgers, Tuesday. It was their third victory against no defeats.

Ted Hagendorn and Gary Yohe, playing first and third positions respectively, kept their personal records unblemished by scoring easy victories. Jim Hewitt playing seventh scored the other Quaker victory 3 and 2.

Sophomore Glen Culbertson is the Indians' winningest pitcher at present with a 2-0 record and a 2.52 ERA. Second in the hurling department is senior lefty Jim Shaw, who sports a 2-1 slate and a 2.84 ERA.

Crew Heavies Open Season At Skimmer

By GARY HICKS As everyone knows, Skimmer is

only about a week away. And as everyone should know, Penn's heavyweight crew opens its season on that heralded week- end. Why should people know that? Because the Quakers are the defending national cham- pions, that's why.

Last year coach Joe Burk's crew climaxed a great season by winning the I.R.A. regatta (the rowing national championships) at Syracuse. They did it with a very good coach, modern tech- niques, hard work, and a fabu- lous freshman crew.

It was the frosh who really won the championship for the Quak- ers. They capped an undefeated season by winning the I.R.A. freshman race by 6.3 seconds over a two mile course. Com- bined with a fifth place finish by the Quaker varsity and a second place for the Penn JV's, it was a performance that was hard to beat. And it wasn't beaten.

This year coach Burk has those frosh on the varsity, along with returnees from the first boat. Therefore, it comes as no sur- prise to hear him say, "So far, things are going satisfactorily." He added, "However, you can't really tell 'til we have a race with another school."

"I know one thing; winning will be rougher this year. Every- one will be improved, the times will be faster, and it will be harder to win races." There is also the fact that the other crews will be gunning for the Quakers. But that's the price you have to pay.

Penn's first varsity boat will be filled by two seniors, four jun- iors, and two sophomores. Burk says, "Things are pretty well set, but you can never say for sure. If someone improves, the door is always open."

Saturday of Skimmer weekend, the oarsmen host Columbia and a strong Princeton crew in com- petition for the Childs Cup. With everyone gunning for his Penn crew, Burk says, "Give me a fast beat, because I'm going into harm's way."
