AluDini Dinners Honor r .. 5. Bann 8£ McGralh

The Very Reverend Edward B. Bunn, President of the Uni­versity, was honored at a din­ner given by a group of local alumni at Shreveport, Louis­iana on Wednesday, December 28. Father Bunn and Fr. Joseph Seellinger, S.J., Dean of the Col­lege of Arts and Sciences, wel"e in Shreveport with the basketball team for the Gulf South Classic Toul"nament. Georgetown won the consolation part of the tournament and the entire Georgetown en­tourage was hosted quite genel"­ously by that southern city.

In an address at the dinner, Fa­ther Bunn recounted stories about the establishment of the College, the medical and law facilities and the pioneering and libel"al role of the University in the affairs of

the nation over the years. Both the account of the dinner in his tribute and Father Bunn's address were carried by the local Shreveport papers.

Reverend Brian A. McGl"ath, S.J., Academic Vice President of the University, is to address a dinner meeting of the Georgetown Club of Kansas City tonight.

A report on the progress of the University's $21,000,000 ten year development plan is expected to be the principal content of his talk. Father McGl"ath will thank the alumni and friends of Georgetown for contributions toward the $4,-250,000 building fund. With con­struction of the new Science Center under way, Georgetown has passed another milestone in its develop­ment plan and will soon take its place among the leading research institutions in the country.

Father McGrath also will pl"aise Kansas City and Georgetown alum­ni all over the country for contl"i­butions to Georgetown's Annual Giving Fund. The fund has now ex­ceeded the $1,000,000 mark. He will add that fund receipts are al­located for publications, research, faculty salary increases, scholar­ships, fellowships, arid other stu­dent aid rather than building de­velopments.

Charlie Ross Gets Presidency Amidst Parliamentary Hassle

by Michael Raoul-Duval Robert Gilmartin resigned from Georgetown for "per­

sonal reasons" a week ago today. His position as President of the Yard has been assumed by present Yard Secretary Charles Ross. .

Jr. Prom Activity Set for February

Friday night, February 10 will mark the high point of the Junior Class social year­the Junior Prom. A crowd of 600 couples is expected to be found dancing to the strains of "Music by Devron," at the May­flower Hotel, and enjoying the ample supply of free refreshments provided by the' prom committee. A female vocalist will provide the evening's entertainment.

Festivities will be continued Saturday, February 11, at the Arl­ington Towers in Arlington, Vir­ginia. The musical background for this phase of the social weekend will be furnished by Stan Rubin's "Tigertown Five." Mr. Rubin and his group enjoyed the distinction of being invited to play at the wed­ding of Princess Gl"ace Kelly of Monaco.

Prom plans will go into effect next week to give prizes which will include items of use fOl" the prom weekend, such as car rentals, corsages, and dinner reservations. Special al"rangements fOl" reduced tuxedo rental rates will be forth­coming a week or two before the event. Tickets will go on sale the week before at the pl"ice of twelve dollars a couple. Tables for the prom night may be reserved, but a minimum of five couples is necessary to prOCUl"e one.

The Prom weekend is not limited to the College, but is a University­wide event. Brian Dwyer, Chair­man of the Prom Committee, hopes that "the sophomores and freshmen will lend their support to this event, as their classes have in the past."

Committee Roster

Junior Brian Dwyer, who will co-ordinate the social weekend, is an AB economics major fl"om Scars­dale, New York, and a graduate of Cardinal Stepinac High School. As­sisting Dwyer on the committee are Moose Chesner, Dick Conway, Ed Crowley, Paul Cullen, Ron Del Sesto, Tom Dolan, Stan Evans, Bill Fox, Frank Mack, Jim Musarra, .J oe Ossol"io, and Pete Ross.

The problem of the vacancy cre­ated by Gilmartin's resignation was settled at a regular meeting of the Student Council on Sunday, Jan­uary 8. At this meeting, over which Ross presided in the capacity of President pro tem., Art. 3, Sec. 5 of the Student Body Constitution was cited: "In the event of a va­cancy in a Yard Office during the first semester of the scholastic

year, the student body shall fill the vacancy by means of a special election called within two weeks by the Student Council" (author's itals.) .

Mr. Ross then read a momoran­dum from Fr. Sellinger which stated that (a) " ... it is our con­sidered opinion that an election would be most inopportune and that (b), in ordel" to expedite mat­ters, the Yard Secretary should succeed to the Presidency." The council went on to agree as to the difficulties of holding a full elec­tion so close to semester exams.

Bob Bennet, assistant parliamen­tarian of the Council, following a request from the chair, then at­tempted: to reconcile the contents of the constitution with Fr. Sellinger's memorandum. He presented an in­genious plan suggesting that Gil-

Editorial

:·'A 'Critical Tiin~ ,- -' ," '. -~. .

., Diu"ing 'the :-iaSt' three' and a ;half years, and especially during the year just past, we have ~ften been involved in discussions of various' aspects, of Georgetown's method of education. We have listened to a wide assortment of views on how to run a college, ranging from a proposal that there be but one test per semester in each course to the assertion of a preference for a disciplinary system which would fea­ture strict hours of rising and retiring for all students, as practiced, for instance, at Notre Dame. We have listened to the ideas of members of the Administration, of the Jesuit and lay faculties, and of the student body concer:t:litig' what is wrong or lacking with Georgetown and what might be done to improve it.

Despite the varied character and station of the people to whom we have listened there has been one theme just below the surface and rarely expressed in these discussions. The feeling is fairly general that we are at a crucial period in Georgetown's history, a period in which decisions will be made which will make the difference between a natiollally­known and respected university and a local college. These decisions are being forced by several circumstances, among them the superior quality of men that the Admissions Com­mittee is able to pick from the high schools, the increased amounts of public and private money available for educa­tional projects, and the higher standards being demanded by graduate and professional schools. What is the College doing to meet these challenges? And what might it do in the future?

The strictly academic side of the College has seen changes in the past few years whose importance would be hard to exaggerate. The Fribourg program, the improve­ment of faculty salaries and the inception of a faculty pen­sion plan, the reduction of the average number of class hours taught by each professor, an increase in the number of faculty members holding the doctorate, and the inception of the Honors Program are a few of the major improve­ments which have been made within recent years. Some of the benefits of the Honors Course are filtering down to the rest of the student body already, e.g. non-Honors English majors with 3.0 or better QPI's may take either of two spe­cial Honors Program courses next semester. The Honors Program's principle of combining an emphasis on the prep­aration ,of extensive original papers with a reduction in class hours would; we feel, prove beneficial to students in many courses outside of the Honors Program. Another in­structional technique which might see wider use is the sem­inar, in which students defend papers they have written before a class of their fellows, moderated by a professor. The final thing which we would hope to see adopted is the "Reading Period," a period of between three days and a week immediately prior to final exams and! or comprehen­sives during which classes would not be held. This would allow the student to go into his exams with a much more thorough review than is possible now and would allow him to catch up on any last-minute reading.

The feeling that we are acting at a time when George­town especially needs her sons to excell a:t:ld accomplish has served her well. This is not a feeling that depends on foot­ball crowds or brass bands for exhibition; indeed it is rarely even expressed. But its effects are shown in many ways. In a new critical review, for instance, or in a campus radio staff trying to match their talents and efforts to the pro­fessional quality of their equipment. In a new domitory. In a hilI being relocated for the sake of a new science build­ing. In a Rhodes Scholarship. And in a crew going out to exercise at 6 :00 in the morning. This feeling, which we may even dare call spirit, has helped her sons serve Georgetown well. Will it continue to do so? And will mutual interest, respect, and co-operation on the part of the students, the faculty, and the Administration increase its effectiveness?

RounJ-uplRoss .Gets.Pres,id~ncy We've been asked by the editors As Gilmartin ReSigns

of the .JOURNAL to extend their apologies to the stUdent body for the late appearance of their first issue this year. It seems that the man who was supposed to take care of one of the technical printing processes involved in the produc~ tion of the issue wasn't able 1:0 come to work for three days, de~ laying the printing until after most of us were home on vacation.

The University History Club is still looking for interested

. students from any branch of the University to join their newly­formed group. Further details may be secured from Ray Calla­han, Box 163 Campus Mail. The Modern Jazz Quartet will

be presented at Cole Field House of the University of Maryland on Friday January 19. Tickets, at $1.50 per person, are available at the Student Union of the College Park campus or at tIle door.

All those who passed the Fed~ eral Civil Service Qualifying Ex~ amination are asked to report to the Placement Office as soon as possible_ Placement has also re~ minded us that available ap~ pointments with the various companies interviewing on cam­pus are becoming fewer and fewer, so that the sooner those interested in being interviewed report to the Placement Office, the better will be their chances.

Apropos of our editorial com­ments in the last issue on the pres­ent methods of the Gaston Lecture Series, we quote the following from the December 16, 1960 issue of the Notre Dame Scholastic: "Compli­ments are in order for hard-work­ing John Kromkowski and his in­ternational commission of Student Government for their success in lining up next semester's activities. So far they have received a grant of $1,000 from the Carnegie Foun­dation to help finance their sym­posium on international relations sometime in March. Adlai Steven­son and Ralph Bunche have regis­tered a willingness to participate in what promises to be the high point of next semester's activities."

Our thanks to those who ar­ranged last Monday night's eg-g­nog party for the Senior Class and also to those among the Jesuit and lay faculties who could find time to stop in and socialize.

Letters To The Editor

To The Editor: It has long been my feeling that

the problem of co-ordination of dates has been a knotty and ticklish problem here at Georgetown. There are three committees of the Student Council with the power to legislate regarding the dates for social and extra~curricular events. There is the Student Council Social Activ­ities Committee, the Lecture Com­mittee and the inter-school Social Activities Committee by means of which the Catholic Schools in the Washington area co-ordinate dates and permissions. Some steps have been taken by the Council to co­ordinate the co-ordinating activities of these committees. In addition to the events which come under the jurisdiction of these commit­tees, there are events scheduled by the divisions of the University which are blissfully unaware of the activities regulated by these committees which are scheduled through the Student Personnel Of­fice. When these dates conflict, often a rather arbitrary decision must be made which will often, in effect, prohibit one of the conflic~ ing parties from the use of the date. In many cases, the conflict could have been more amicably and profitably settled by compro~ mise. The only reason the compro­mises are not effected is that the

(Continued on Page 7)

Charlie Ross martin's resignation not be ac­cepted until the beginning of the second semester, thereby allowing Ross to act as President pro tem. until that time, when he consti­tutionally could succeed to the office. Bennett's reference to the Constitution was: "In the event of a vacancy in the office of a Pres· ident of the Yard during the sec­ond semester of the scholastic year, the Secretary of the Yard shall succeed to the office of the Pres­ident." (author's itals.)

Proposal Rejected It took the Council forty-five

minutes to convince themselves and Bennett that such a plan was un­constitutional, impractical, and at variance with the facts. Further argument brought up the fact that regardless of whether Gilmartin's resignation as President of the Yard was accepted or not, his res­ignation from the student body disqualified him from the office. The Constitution specifically states that the Yard President must at­tend Georgetown.

Chris Hankinson, Editor of the Journal, then objected to Father Sellinger's proposal on the grounds that it deprived the student body of their right to vote. He said, "I can't think of any right we have other than electing our President. Now this has been taken away from us."

Vince Wolfington, Junior Class President, argued that this did not deprive the students of their vote because they had elected Ross in the first place. He further stated that allowing the Secretary to as­sume the Presidency was the easi~ est solution to the problem.

Lost In Shuffle An alternate plan was then pre­

sented by Tim Ryan, Junior Class Student Council Representative. He recommended that an abbreviated general election by the student body be held in which the campaigns be limited to one combined flyer con­taining arguments for each can­didate. This, he pointed out, would eliminate any conflict with exam~ inations, which was the reason for Father Sellinger's proposal. This plan fell into obscurity amidst a parliamentary flare~up concerning the Bennett proposal.

Final Vote A vote was finally called to ac­

cept or reject Ross's report of Father Sellinger's plan. The vote was affirmative, and Mrs. Ross be­came President pro tem. until the end of this semester, at which time he assumes the full title of Pres~ ident. Also included in the vote was a provision making it possible to have an early Y,ard election next spring.

This action of the Council which, in effect, has given the students of Georgetown a President without their vote or even d.irect consent, was taken due to the confusion and misunderstanding with which Fa­ther Sellinger's suggestion was considered by the Council. It should be emphasized that Father Sellin­ger's memo to Ross was a sugges­tion and not in any way a. man-

date. Because Gilmartin resigned during the first semester, the vote was unconstitutional according to Art. 3, Sec. 5, and hence Ross's succession to the Presidency can be considered technically invalid. However, for the sake of expedi~ ency the matter should, and probab­ly will, remain unchallenged. This is in no way to imply that Charles Ross is at all incapable or unde~ serving of the Presidency; rather, the unfortunate thing is the way that the Student Council has han~ dIed the problem.

While discussing his new ap~ pointment after the meeting, Ross had this to say: "I sincerely regret that Bob (Gilmartin) has found it necessary to leave Georgetown. We will deeply miss his leadership. In the coming months, I will put forth my best efforts to continue the precedent he has set as an active and effective President."

Gilmartin's Letter Dear Father Sellinger:

I wish to formally present my resignation from the College of Arts & Sciences of Georgetown University. I sincerely regret that I must terminate my stay at the University but personal reasons have necessitated the move. I wish to thank you for your cooperation in this matter and wish Georgetown only the best in the future.

Sincerely, Robert D. Gilmartin, .Jr.

T haler To Discuss Menace Of Fallout

"The Danger of Radiation and Fallout" will be the subject of a lecture by Dr. William H. Thaler of the Physics Department. The lecture, open to the public, is being presented by the Physics Club and will be held this afternoon at 4:15 in McNeir Physics Auditorium.

Dr. Thaler, Head of the Field Projects Research Branch of the Office of Naval Research, was re­cently appointed Professor of Phys­ics at Georgetown. He was also technical director of Project Argus under which three atomic bombs we:r;e fired from shipboard and detonated 375 miles above the South Atlantic, creating a shell of electrons that enveloped the earth for several days and revealed much about the earth's magnetic field and the behavior of radiation in the upper atmosphere.

The Physics Club recently be­came the Georgetown University Student Section of the American Institute of Physics. It is made up of physics majors, math majors, graduate stUdents, and a philoso­phy major. The active members meet regularly and participate in a research seminar for which they receive one credit per semester.

Film Society Slates Bi-Weekly, Films To Be Discussed

Seminar Airs Issues In College"'Adnl"ission

"Now, Charlie, something's got you down again, so tell me what it is and maybe I can help," said Maxie the Macke machine.

"Our society hopes to foster among the students of George­town a better appreciation of films as an art form rather than as part of a mass media," remarked Bob Hurley, Pres­ident of Georgetown's new Film Society. "There is much more to movies than just extravaganzas and westerns." While only in its first year, the society is presenting a fine selection of both foreign and American films bi-weekly in the Medical School Auditorium in con­nection with a group directed by Dr. James Fox of the Psychiatry Department.

"It's really nothing at all," said Charlie Schriver, as he tried to force down a cup of tea.

"Charlie, I know you probably better than anyone else around here does,' and I know when something's eating you. Why won't you tell me?"

"Well, you'll just think I'm cheap, if I tell you," said Charlie. "You'll laugh at me."

"No. I won't. I won't laugh at you, so tell me." "You know when I was home for Christmas vacation and I came

back with my father's straw hat?" "Yeah~" "Well, I only borrowed my Dad's because I was too cheap to spend

the three dollars and get a new one, when most of the freshmen class bought theirs."

"I don't see how there's anything cheap about that, Charlie, if your father had one, no sense just letting it hang around. Why are you so depressed about it?"

"I wore mine to the game last night, Maxie, and afterwards when the whole crowd was filing out someone hit my hat from behind and it fell to the' ground . . . and I lost my balance and accidentally stepped on it."

"Oh, Charlie, that's too bad." "Foot ,went right through it." "That's too bad, Charlie." "I must've really looked foolish, huh?" "Ruined the hat, I guess." "Yeah; Maxie, I went back for the pieces and tried to fix it, but

it was no use." "What are you going to tell your father?" asked Maxie. "That's the big problem," said Charlie. "He's very sentimental

about things like that, even though he pretends he isn't. Like I know he keeps this folded-up old drink napkin in the back of his top drawer. It says "Carlton Hotel-New Year's Eve 1936" on it, and I know it has something to do with my mother, only I've never had the guts to ask him." , '

"Would he get mad if he knew about his hat, Charlie?" "No, Maxie, I think he'd just feel a little badly about it is all." "I can see why you feel so terrible," Maxie sympathized, "but

there should be some way to fix things up." "Boy,and when I think of how I sat at the game and felt em­

barrassed about my hat, I could kill myself." "Felt embarrassed?" "Yes, because my father's straw hat didn't look exactly like the

ones the other guys were wearing. Now if I could only have that hat back again. I didn't know when I was well off."

"It's your father's feelings you're worried about then, huh?" "Yeah; Maxie, I don't know what I'm: going to do." "I have a suggestion," said Maxie, "if it's just your father's

feelings you're worried about. Why don't you go downtown and buy a straw hat to match your father's? If you go to Woodward and Lothrop you can probably get one identical for about fifteen dollars. He'll neve~ know the difference."

"In order to save three dollars I end up spending fifteen." "But that's the only answer I can see, Charlie." "I gu~ss I'll have to," Charlie admitted with a sigh, "but fifteen

dollars is an awful hunk of money for a straw hat."

The group was started last sum­mer as part of the Summer School activities in conjunction with the District of Columbia Film Society under Dr. Thomas Walsh of the English Department, its present moderator. Discussions of the films, which delve into the finer qual­ities of the productions, are pre­sented after all of the productions.

"The nucleus of a fine society is now being formed, but what we really need are men who are thor­oughly interested in doing this type of work. No experience is neces­sary, since we ourselves are merely amateurs in this game. Weare hoping to be able to publish soon a quarterly magazine in the film society, if we can obtain writers interested in working on it," re­marked Mr. Hurley further.

This type of organization is noth­ing new on many campuses across the country. Moreover, there is an international organization of col­leges which deals with films in the same way that the Georgetown group has been doing this year. Despite the absence of the sale of popcorn, the quality of films shown during the first semester has defin­itely been superior, such as the re­cent Diary of a Country Priest. The future plans of the sociey in­clude a presentation of On the Bowery in the second semester as well as a few film critics from either New York or Hollywood as guest speakers.

English Group Cops Institute Song Prize

An English singing group under the direction of Baudouin Scheyven won the Regent's Prize of fifty dol­lars at the Institute of Languages and Linguistics' annual Christmas Carol Concert. The contest, Which has become a regular presentation at Georgetown, had its origin eleven years ago with the founding of the Institute.

The winning vocal group, which was chosen by a panel of 'judges from among English, French, Ger­man, Italian, and Russian entries, is a mixed chorus composed of stu­dents of the Institute taking the "intensive course" of English as a foreign language. The song which assured victory for the group was a rendition of a work of Irving Ber­lin's entitled "White Christmas."

The leader of the English sin­gers, Baudouin Scheyven, is a sophomor'e pre-med in the College who took the "English as a for­eign language" course at the Insti­tute last year. Scheyven is the son of the Belgian ambassador to the United States.

"I know," Maxie agreed, unable to suppress a slight grin. "It ain't hay.'''

Georgetown will be one of about 80 schools composing a mock United Nations in Montreal, Cana­da. This will be the University:s second year of participation. Last year the Georgetown delegation was asked to represent the United States in the General Assembly and was chosen best delegatioll.

This conclave is conducted under the auspices of the colleges and universities of the city of Montreal: the University of Montreal, McGill, Loyola, and Sir George Williams universities. The delegates, stu­dents from colleges of the Westo}l"n Hemisphere, will meet in two as-

semblies, the General Assembly and Security Council, and debate resolutions concerning the Unitcd Nations' procedure and decisions. They will discuss, for exam pie, the enlargement of the Security Coun­cil by the addition of three Afro­Asian nations, and a move to cen­sure the United States for its em­bargo on Cuba.

It is the aim of the organIzation which administrates the meeting that students take a greater in­terest in our world organizations and' perhaps become more sympa­thetic to their problems.

Scholarship Meet Ends Today In Walsh Building

by Joe Frederich

Today marks the final day of the annual College Schol­arship Service Regional Meet­ing which has been held at Georgetown Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

This meeting has followed 'the CoIl e, g e Entrance Examination Board Regional Meeting which was held on Tuesday, and completes a three-day seminar devoted to a better understanding of, the opin­ions of colleges and high schools toward that nemesis of high school seniors, the College Entrance Ex­aminations.

College Board Problems , Representatives from colleges

and high schools of the D. C. area met on Tuesday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. to discover the problems, aJ?ising from the College Boards. An after­noon panel discussion debated var­ious topics along this vein such as: how test scores are used by colleges in the selection of students, whethe:r; the CEEB scores are getting high':' er, the weight CEEB scores should have in the selection of' college freshmen, and whether capable students should study college ma­terial in college rather ,than in se.:!ondary schools.

Use Of Scores ' The p,!lrpose of the meeting was

primarily for the benefit of high schools, allowing them, to discover the role CEEB scores play in ,col­leges and an opportunity to air their complaints of the system.

On the contrary, the colleges themselves benefited from the ScholarShip Service Meeting which was begun yesterday. Here the problem of whether colleges can afford to raise or even continue the amount of academic aid in the face of rising expenses was' discussed.

Federal Aid The possibility of governrmint

aid to higher education under the new federal administration ,vas discussed Wednesday by the Hon. Peter H. B. Frelinghuysen, Jr., member of the Committee on Edu­cation and Labor. Dr. Homer D. Babbidge, Jr., Commissioner and Director of the Division of Higher Education, U. S. Office of Education, described the federal interest in the able student.

Today, the topic of present stu­dent aid and the possibility of new future sources will be aired from 10:00-12 noon in the Hall of Na­tions, Walsh BUilding. Students are welcome. Fr. Joseph M. Moffitt, S.J., Director of Admissions at Georgetown, will outline the role of the private college and the prob­lems of offering scholarship aid to eligible students.

Welcome Back!

The HOYA welcomes its readers back and hopes they had an enj oyable holiday season. For the present, we wish the best of luck in the semester exams. Exams will begin on Monday, January 23, and run through Wed­nesday, February 1. After the semester break, classes will resume on Monday, February 6.

M&B Readers Fashion Success FrolD. TholTIas' 'Under Milkwood'

MILKWOOD .•. M&B performers left to right: Lee Dickinson, Joe Alexandre, Jill Roberts, Dennis Burke, and Kevin O'Neill.

by Tom Scheye A dramatic reading sub­

jects both the play and the actors to close scrutiny, and both gave excellent accounts of themselves when the Mask and Bauble presented Dylan Thomas' Under Milkwood.

Thomas' work is a study in blank verse of the town of Milk­wood over a period of 24 hours and its sundry inhabitants. Some 65 characters are written into the play in an endless series of short vignettes, totally lacking in story line except for the temporal de-

velopment. What saves this from bogging down in a confused mass is Thomas' genius for portrayal. Each actor is given about seven parts to play but as the play moves we can detect a strand of similarity in their various characters, until only nine distinct personalities re­main.

All of this is done in the dis­tinctive style of expression which is Dylan Thomas'. He has the talent to move gracefully from passages of power and sublime beauty to long outbursts of hi­larious doggerel. In this medium Thomas is able to introduce bur­lesqued characters and then trans-

Clothes Horse Sense

The first of this series of arti­cles pointed out the importance of a well-rounded wardrobe and subsequent issues offered hints as to how such a wardrobe might achieve its ultimate effect. But behind the series was an idea, an idea that a well dressed per­son is inclined to be neat and careful about his appearance. It does much to correct a careless habit, because being well-dressed soon effects thinking. But to date the articles have only dealt with the fully dressed gentle­man, one wearing a suit or a sport jacket and slacks. Of course being clothed is not con­fined to this area.

It is not inconceivable that semiformal clothing can be chosen and worn in good taste and that during this period of time the wearer is meticulously neat in all other areas, but, when the tie is not being worn the whole concept is thrown to the wind. However it is import-

ant to bring to mind again the original idea. Appearance al­ways counts.

This brings us into the area of sportswear. One basic mis­conception about sportswear is that it has to be sloppy to be comfortable. Of course this is not so. Here again as usual there is a choice to be made, but, if it is done carefully both com­fort and neatness can be achiev­ed. Consider for the moment this example. A pair of khaki trousers and a sweatshirt or a pair of worsted slacks and a shetland sweater. Most every­one has tried both and all should agree that they" are equally as comfortable, but the similarity ends there.

One more thing should be noticed. There is a definite frame of mind indigenous to each mode of dressing. Very often you think as you dress and so you are judged as you dress.

cend them to the meaningful about the relationship of death to life.

Such variance of poetic style and dramatic import obviously makes great demands on the actors while offering them the opportunity for virtuoso expression. The Mask and Bauble took up this challenge ad­mirably. Each actor discovered the particular nuance of his portrayal and was able to impart it through vocal inflection and effective use of the eyes. Because of the good characterization, some order was apparent within the chaotic scheme of 65 characters.

As the coquette of the play, Jill Roberts gave an excellent perform­ance, blending the naivete of an Irish colleen and the experience of the world's oldest profession. Hers was certainly the most alluring role and she accorded it admirable ex­pression.

Often playing opposite Miss Roberts was Dennis Burke, who was a sort of village bumbler and idiot. Mr. Bur k e 's histrionics scored, I think, many of the high­points of the performance, and his antics brought down the house quite often.

A more shrewish role was Emily Michaud's. She was perhaps most effective as Mrs. Dai Bread Two, in brief and very effective inter­play with Miss Dickinson, who was Mrs. Dai Bread One. Miss Michaud was able to gain a lot of meaning

As a final note, Chairman Dwyer adds that, "the weekend will be an appropriate time to relax and forget the exams and the results of the fall semester."

In a University the size of Georgetown, there should be one central, University wide clearing house for dates which will in gen­eral operate along the lines of the Student Council Social Activities Committee with an appeals set-up which will protect the interests of the scheduling parties. This could be handled by use of the already existent facilities of the Student Personnel Office with a board of appeals composed of students to handle controversies in which the Student Personnel Director did not feel that a clear-cut solution based on the rights of the contesting par­ties was possible. I do feel that the criteria by which both the Student Personnel Director and the Appeals Board would arrive at a solution should be clearly stated and rightly adhered to. These criteria should be eaf'lily arrived at and subscribed to in writing by representatives of the students of all the divisions of the University involved.

HERE-IF YOU WANT TO WORK FOR IT" Even before Ron Spetrino received his engi­

neering degree from Case he had good job offers from six companies.

He joined The Ohio Bell Telephone Company -his reason: "I was convinced an engineer could go further here-if he was willing to work for it."

As soon as Ron got his feet on the ground in telephone engineering, he was tapped for a tough assignment. The job-to engineer switch­ing equipment modifications needed to prepare Cleveland for nationwide customer dialing of long distance calls.

Ron wrapped it up in five months, and found he had earned a shot at another tough assignment. In this job Ron helped engineer a completely new long distance switching center for Cleveland. This switching center connected Cleveland with the nationwide customer dialing network. I twas about a year later that Ron put the finishing

touches on the specs for this $1,600,000 project. Today, as a Supervising Engineer, Ron heads

a staff of five engineers and is responsible for telephone switching in much of the greater Cleveland area.

He supervises the design and purchase of $3 million worth of equipment a year. And even more important, he is charged with developing the technical and managerial skills of his staff.

Ron knows what he's talking about when he says, "In this business you have to do more than a good job. We expect a man to be a self-developer. We expect him to take responsibility from his first day on the job and think for himself. You don't get ahead around here by just doing time."

If you want a fob in which you're given every chance to prove yourself, and real responsibility right from the start-you'll want to see your Place­ment Office for further information.

through use of her eyes and move­ment.

Kevin O'Neill was the only character who used dialect but rather than standing out too con­spicuously, it blended very nicely and added definition to the menage of characters he portrayed. Wheth­er as the bluff sea captain Cat or the inn keeper, Sinbad Sailor, Mr. O'Neill's adopted brogue was ap­proriately raucous and warm.

Mrs. Argmore Pritchard was among the roles played by Mary Jane O"'Brien. She imparted the desired stuffy image by her pomp­ous movement and exaggerated gestures. Her voice and intonation, somewhat reminiscent of Ethel Merman's, more than adequately expressed the role.

Joe Alexandre characterized Willy Nilly the curious postman and the henpecked Cherry Owen who plans to poison his wife. Some­where between these two lies the personality he imparts. As Cherry Owen he was most effective, sheep­ishly obeying his wife while at the same time plotting her untimely demise.

Smaller roles were portrayed by Lee Dickinson and John Campbell. Mr. Campbell portrayed the stodgy and stiff element in the play. It is into these parts that Thomas writes genius epigram and Mr. Campbell rendered these with the suitable condescension. Mis s Dickinson, mentioned previously in her charac­terization of Mrs. Dai Bread Two, had more or less a number of cameo parts, but she moved from one to the other, allowing each to have a distinct color and flavor.

The only real fault we could find was with the readers. As second voice, Dave Powers too often ap­peared to be merely reading lines, without any particular interest or emotion. He was superior when he was on stage in small parts but as reader he was too bland.

However, even more disappoint­ing was the first voice, read by Nick Kilmer. Mr. Kilmer has an ex­cellent voice and a marvelous grip on the metrics in Dylan Thomas, but too much concentration on these two aspects resulted in a loss of interpretation. He read the rowdy and burlesqued passages with the same sobriety and even tragedy which were appropriate to the prologue and epilogue. While extremely moving in these two sec­tions, Mr. Kilmer's mellifluous tones were none too apropos in the comedy.

Actually, there was a more dis­appointing aspect to the perform­ance and that was the audience. Only about 30 people were privi­leged to view this excellent read­ing, perhaps because of poor pub­licity, previous engagements or more enticing offers. This work should, I think, be repeated, so that more people might see it at a more auspicious time.

Le()pards~ Mounties Host Hoyas' II,·· Road Contests O'Keefe Seeks Winning Trail

The Georgetown University basketball team will be hosted this Saturday evening by the Leopards of Lafayette in Easton, Pennsylvania. Lafay­ette, which plays in the Middle Atlantic Conference, lost all-state selection Charlie Ross and isn't get­ting much help from the frosh.

Leopard Lineup Therefore, coach George David­

son's team will do well to break even on the overall outlook. The key roles will be filled by two sen­iors, 5'9" Pete Pavia who averaged 16 points per game last year, and 6'3" Morris Boyer who hit for a 9.4 mean. Junior Chip Lundy who averaged 12.5 has improved a good deal and should be tough to contain.

Taking over in the backcourt will be 5'10" Danny George, a soph­omore, and 5'11" Bob Kaufman, a junior who sat out much of last year with injuries. The reserves, who are strictly untried and un­tested, are Charlie Turk, Gene Denehan, and Andy Cook.

Mountie Tilt The following Wednesday the

Hoyas will journey to Emmits­burg, Maryland to take on the Mounties _ of Mount Saint Mary's. Last year the Hoyas tripped the lo­cal quint by an 81-73 margin. Jerry Savage led the scorers with twenty points and is expected to be trouble again this year. One other factor is that the Mounties have always been more trouble on their home boards. Some will remember the contest two years ago when the Hoyas had to stage a scintillating come-from-behind-rally to nip their opponents.

Mermen Test Ciallaudet Sat.

by Al Hibbert

With the season's opener only two days away, the Hoya mermen find themselves up against an old nemesis; time is now the most important factor in the Hoyas' bid for a winning season as most of the swimmers are far below the peak condition that they had hoped to attain by the time of the first meet.

Since returning from the holi­days the squad has been running grueling, daily workouts in prep­aration for the opener at Gallaudet on Saturday. Actually the Gallau­det meet should be pretty much of a warm-up for Georgetown's deep, experienced squad, with the only threat coming in the 100 yard free­style and the diving events. Other than i;hat Gallaudet should not offer much-in the way of competition.

Sterner Test However, the following Tuesday

the mermen journey across town to engage Catholic U. in what should be a much sterner test of the Hoyas' potential. Not much is known about the Catholic U. team, except that they finished far out of the running in last year's Mason-Dixon Conference champion­ships which was won by American University in convincing style. Big­gest problem· besides conditioning which faces the Hoyas will be the relays. Coach Bob Fraley is faced with the problem of stacking the relays with his strongest swimmers ; in the 400 yard medlay relay and the 400 yard freestyle relay events which count double in collegiate swimming meets, and. at the same .

MATAN MISSES ... a layup attempt in game with GW last Satur­day. Colonials won, 83-75.

Hoyos Bow To GW In Uline Arena Tilt

by Michael Maher

It was a sad end to what had a very happy beginning. Similar thoughts were prob­ably in the minds of most Hoya fans as they walked out of chilly Uline Arena last Sat­urday night. The dimly-lit score­board in the background read George Washington 83 - George­town 75. Less than thirty minutes before it had shown the score to be Georgetown 32 - George Wash­ington 18. However in those last thirty minutes, the shooting of the Hoya players seemed to confirm the fact that they were playing on a basketball floor laid over the ice of a hockey arena.

Sheehan Stars From the opening whistle until

five minutes before the end of the first half, this game belonged solely to Georgetown. With guard Puddy Sheehan, Capt. Tom Coleman, and junior Paul Taglabue leading the way, the Hoyas were gaining a mo­mentum that appeared to be un-

stoppable. Sheehan's floor game was superb; Coleman drove strong­ly from his corner position for sev­eral three point plays; and Tag­Habue's corner jump shots netted him 10 points in the first half alone.

However, with the end of the half approaching, the direction of the tide rapidly began to change, as flashy Jon Feldman and Ralph Kun7:e pulled the Colonials to with­in six points of the Hoyas. During this half, the HiIItoppers had shot a creditable 370/0 from the floor while their opponents had managed to shoot 32%.

Hoyas Blanked For the first few minutes, the

second half was a nip and tuck af­fair. But the Colonials were soon to close the gap, as 6'9" Bill In­gram and -the cocky Feldman, GW's high scorer with 25, began -to .score with almost nonchalant ease against the failing Hoya de­dense. With twelve minutes left in the game, Dick Markowitz put the Colonials ahead to stay with a foul· shot; A seven minute famine

Coleman Elected Athlete of Week WGTB's selection- for its_ first Athlete of the Week of

the new year is varsity basketball captain Tom Coleman. Coleman was one of the few bright spots for coach Tommy O'Keefe's forces as the Hoyas went down to defeat at the hands of George Washington University in a game played at Uline Arena last Saturday. The final score was 83-75.

High Scorer Coleman was the Hoyas' leading

scorer .with 21 points on five field goals and eleven of twelve from the free throw line. The varsity captain, after a very slow start which netted him only eighteen points in the first five games, has come alive of late, and in the Hoyas' last five games has aver­aged better than 17 points per game.

Coleman was also one of the standouts in the Gulf South Classic as he led the Hoyas to a fifth place finish. Last season Coleman was GU's second leading scorer behind Puddy Sheehan. Sheehan, however, took the runner-up slot in this week's balloting, although he sport­ed an outstanding brand of play in both the Christmas tourney and

The Holiday Casua-Ity For the Georgetown University basketball team it was

a not so happy holiday. Coach Tommy O'Keefe's charges simply found themselves making the same mistakes over and over again. The great holiday massacre began oddly enough on the hardwoods of the Jersey City Armory where a game Saint Peter's squad was up to pull off one of the biggest upsets of their season. This they did quite effectively.

It was an odd sort of game. The Peacocks did not outclass the Hoyas; in fact, they looked downright sloppy at times. However, they did manage to score twenty more points than their opponents, an ad­vantage won mainly on the free throw line, and thus claimed a re­sounding victory. Georgetown, on the other hand, looked like a team that had never played together before. Their attack was uncertain if not altogether disorganized and their defense was close to a non­entitly. In one second half spurt the Hoyas narrowed an eighteen point gap to six but then proceeded to give away the ball twice in a row, instead of slowing down the action and looking for only the good shots.

The New York Athletic Club affair was less discouraging to some extent but GU lacked that "heads-up" brand of ban that wins games. The Gotham quint was a sound unit composed of men that have had plenty of experience to make up for any of their shortcomings. The Hoyas somehow managed to commit 42 personal fouls and thus became the nation's leading team in that depart­ment. This dubious distinction may well stay with them throughout the campaign unless something can be done about this rubbery defense. This tilt represented Georgetown's third straight defeat and their esprit de corps was approaching an all·time low ebb.

This ebb was finally reached in the opening round of Shreveport's Gulf South Classic in which Mississippi tripped up the Hoyas by a five point margin. This too was classified as a big upset for Ole Miss. The Blue and Grey forces redeemed themselves to some degree to take first place in the consolation bracket. This was accomplished by down­ing Northwestern (La.), 90-65, and Louisiana Tech, 63-52. In these two contests O'Keefe's forces played the kind of basketball that they should be playing consistently although the opposition was not too formidable. Many of the local observers and coaches voiced opinions to the effect that GU was the best team in the tourney but this, of course, had no bearing on the outcome.

The return to action in the DC area brought no new hope or con­solation to the Hoya quint. They faced GW in a big area game but again found themselves on the short end of a 83-75 score. This game not only destroyed GU's hopes of gaining the Big Three title but showed once again that you can't win basketball games if you go out and beat yourself. Tom Coleman was a standout in defeat as was Puddy Sheehan, who has been doing a great job all along, but two men simply don't make a team.

By this time coach O'Keefe must be wondering what it will take to get his team to play good ball again. We certainly don't know the answer but we do know that although some players are playing well the team as a whole is not meeting its potential. This presents a disappointing spectacle to the Hoya rooters to say the least.

With the first half of the season now history it will take a mam­moth comeback effort if the Blue and Grey are to salvage any of their pre-season hopes. The schedule is packed with tough opposition and for once GU may find itself being called the underdog. The future is un­predictable but at the same time it does look very bleak.

The holiday slate opened up at St. Peter's in Jersey City. The Pea­cocks won the affair, 89-70, with a last quarter spurt that completely demolished the Hoya defense. The St. Peter's five routed the Blue and Grey throughout the first half, taking an eighteen point lead at halftime.

The Gulf South Classic opened up in Shreveport, Louisiana with the Hoyas rated as one of the favorites. The prospects did not materialize, however, as Mississippi downed GU, 78-73, in the opening round. This was their fourth straight loss and placed the over­all season record at 2-5 and offi­cially at 2-4.

The second half opened with both teams playing on even terms as the Hoyas showed signs of checking the Peacocks' fast break attack. Soon enough Puddy Sheehan, Tom Matan and Dan Slattery began to pace GU to a comeback effort. The eighteen point gap was lo~ered to six but that was as close as Tom­my O'Keefe's charges came to Yic­tory. St. Peter's once again got their fast break working behind the fine shooting and playmaking of star Bill Smith. From there on it was all downhill for the Hoyas until the final gun sounded.

which the Hoyas once again found their porous defense cracked open by a potent offensive attack. The final score, 102-97, does not present a true picture of the game, how­ever. Georgetown did play fairly good basketball but in yielding a total of 42 fouls they simply gave the game away to the AC.

Puddy Sheehan was outstanding for the Hoyas in defeat as he and Tom Coleman were to sparkplug the Blue and Grey throughout the rest of the tourney. Tom Coleman paced the Hoyas with 20 points followed by Puddy Sheehan "With 16. Jack Waters netted 32 for the victors.

The opening round of the con­solation bracket saw GU trounce Northwestern of Louisiana with one of the best brands of basket­ball they have displayed all year. The final score was 90-65 as Tom Coleman and Paul Tagliabue led the Hoya scorers with 21 and 19 points respectively.

great many changes will undoubt-edly take place.

Should a change be necessary, the Hoyas will not be caught un­awares. Seniors Bill MattIe and George Verdisco, juniors John But­ler and Camuso and sophomore Jack Hurson can step into a two mile relay berth, and if a desire should arise for a varsity mile re­lay team, Butler, Camuso, soph John Hall, Mattle, or senior Bob Spain could satisfy it.

Another pair of juniors, Ed Beachler and .Joe Mazzetti, al­though both are injured now, could fill in on the two mile and mile relay teams respectively.

Verdisco may also take part in the individual two or three mile runs, but anyway it's a long season and who knows?

Matthews, Tom Gilmartin, and Al Welden will be called upon for two or three events and much will depend upon how well these boys will be able to hold up throughout the first two encounters. If the Hoyas make it through their first two meets unbeaten, they will have two weeks to get ready for their eastern swing between semesters when they are scheduled to meet St. Peter's and Fordham on con­secutive days.
