THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE BOYS who participated in Villanova's

Educational and Recreational Program this summer.

ewCampus WorkshopOccupies Seminarians

By BILL HICKEY, O.S.A.

Social action and perhaps social

justice came to Villanova this past

summer with the inauguration of

the Villanova Workshop on July

8, 1968. Sponsored by the Com-mittee on Community Educational

Resources, the pilot program in-

volved 200 boys from Catholic

and Public elementary schools

chosen from federally designated

poverty pockets.

The five week program washandled by the seminarians at St.

Mary's Hall while the idea camefrom their superiors as a project

that would keep the seminarians

more active in the summer and

involve them in this kind of ac-

tivity which they had been re-

questing. The Philadelphia based

Committee on Community Educa-tional Resources provided the

necessary financial backing and

intra-school coc^eration neces-

sary to make the program a suc-

cess. The program on campuswas developed by Mr. William

Valenti of the Law School, as well

as Revs. Thomas Dillion O.S.A.,

Edward Dixey O.S.A, and John

Byrnes O.S.A. all of the semin-ary.

Both the parochial and public

school systems supplied boys fromeleven to thirteen years of age.

The public school supplied the

numerous necessary materials.,

Lunches were provided through the

C.Y.O. Manna program and was

paid for by the Philadelphia GasContinued on page b)

Danforth Foundation

To Award Graduate

Fellowships in MarchInquiries about the Danforth

Graduate Fellowships, to be

awarded in March, 1969, are in-

vited, according to Dr. Thomas

R. Green 102 Corr Hall the

local campus representative.

The Fellowships, offered by the

Danforth Foundation of St. Louis,

Missouri, are open to men and

women who are seniors or recent

graduates of accredited colleges in

the United States, who have seri-

ous interest in college teaching as

a career, and who plan to study for

a Ph.D. in a field common to the

undergraduate college. Applicants

may be single or m arried, must beless than thirty years of age at the

time of application, and may not

have undertaken any graduate or

professional study beyond the bac-

calaureate.

Approximately 120 Fellowships

will be awarded in March, 1969.

Candidates must be nominated by

Liaison Officers of their under-

graduate institutions by November1, 1968. The Foundation does not

Father Daley BecomesNew Augustinian HeadThe Very Reverend Edward L.

Daley, O.S.A. was recently elect-

ed the religious superior of the

Augustinian Order's Province of

St. Thomas of Villanova which in-

cludes most of the territorial

United States. Father Daley suc-ceeds the Very Reverend JamesG. Sherman. Father Daley hadbeen serving as Secretary to the

former Provincial Father Sher-

man.This particular change has

significance for the average Vll-

lanovan, for Father Daley automa-tically becomes Chairman of the

Board- of Trustees of Villanova

University, the policy-making bodyof the University. The elevation

of Father Dale to this post meansa change in personality but not

in policy.

The new Provincial becomes the

religious superior of the nearly

500 Augustinian Priests and Bro-

thers who administer more than

50 parishes in 15 different dio-

ceses and conduct Villanova Uni-

versity, two other colleges and

Social Commitment At V.U.The newly organized Committee

for Social Action (formerly

N.F.C.C.S.) and the Sociology De-partment here at Villanova are

co-ordinating and sponsoring a

weekend recreational program at

the Glen Mills School for Boys at

Glen Mills.

The Glen Mills' Schools are a

privately administrated, state sub-

sidized correctional institution for

boys between the ages of 11 and 18.

Courts in Bucks, Delaware, Mont-gomery and Philadelphia Coun-

ties send to Glen Mills boys con-

victed of offenses ranging ffomprolonged truancy with gang ac-

tivities, to car thefts, petty lar-

ceny and armed assault.

Why does Glen Mills need Vil-

lanova students? In the first place,

cuts in state aid are plaguing

institutions in their attempts to

employ professional help. WhatGlen Mills has already is a pro-

fessional core, but one that rec-

og^zed the need for more inter-

esting persons. Enough good teach-

ers have been hired and enough

constructive programs have been

developed to keep the young menoccupied during the weekdays. But

on weekends, a scarcity of super-

visory personnel often means the

boys must remain in their houses,

cottages, all day.

The Glen Mills people see this

as the point of entry for Villanova

students. They are asking for 20

students to commit themselves to

spending every Saturday afternoon

at Glen Mills. The Saturday pro-

gram will be recreational in the

wide sense of the word, including

athletics, dramatics, music etc.

It will be organized and directed

by two regular administrators and

directed by the Villanova students.

This is the seminal idea for the

program: it will expand and de-

velop as a result of the creativity

and dedication of the Villanova stu-

dents.

At Villanova this program is

being encouraged both by the Com-mittee for Social Action, headed

by Father Burt, and the entire

Sociology Department. Present

plans call for monthly meetings of

all involved in the Saturday pro-

gram with the seminarians who

teach at Glen Mills on Sundays,

and with guest speakers from the

Sociology Department, or other

speakers on juvenile delinquency.

Anyone interested should con-

tact either Mike deRosa, at 340

ministration

man To BoardJust before the evening of

the fall semester Father Welsh

announced some major changes in

the personnel of the Administra-

tion as well as the creation

of an entirely new post in the

Administration, Executive Vice-

President.

The major change from the

viewpoint of the student is the

naming of Dr. James F. Duffy,

a layman, to the position of Vice-

President of Student Affairs. TheVice-President of Student Affairs

is responsible for the supervision

of many major student activities.

Dr. Duffy is the first layman to

occupy this very important post.

He is only the second layman to

occupy any post in the Adminis-

tration, the first being Joseph

F. Bevilaequa, the Dean of Menwho was named to that post last

year. Dr. Duffy is the former

director of Psychological Serv-

ices as well as a memberof the Psychology Department,

The past Vice-President of

Student Affairs, Father Rice

has been appointed to a newly

created Administration post of Ex-

ecutive Vice-President. In this

position Father Rice will co-

ordinate the activities of the

Vice-President of Academic

Affairs as well as the Vice-Pre-

sident of Student Affairs. The

Dean of the University Law School

FATHERO.S.A. __15 high schools, 'niese insti-

tutions have a combined enroll-

ment of over 60,000 students.

Father Daley was bom in Mec-hanicviUe, New York. He attend-

ed Villanova University and in 1947

received an A.B. degree. In 1951

he received his M.A. degree in

American History from Catholic

University of America.

Danforth Fellowships

(Continued from page 2)

accept direct applications for the

Fellowships.

Danforth Graduate Fellows are

eligible for four years of financial

assistance, with a maximum annual

living stipend of $2400 for single

Fellows and $2950 for married

Fellows, plus tuition andfees. De-pendency allowances are available.

Financial need is not a condition

for consideration.

Danforth Fellows may hold other

fellowships such as Ford, Ful-

bright, National Science, Rhodes,

Woodrow Wilson, etc. concur-

rently, and will be Danforth Fel-

lows without stipend until the other

awards lapse.

The Danforth Foundation was

created in 1927 by the late Mr. and

Mrs. William H. Danforth of St.

Louis as a philanthropy devoted to

giving aid and encouragement to

persons, to emphasizing the hu-

mane values that come from a re-

ligious and democratic heritage,

and to strengthening the essential

quality of education. The Foun-

dation seeks to serve these pur-

poses through activity in education

and urban affairs. In education,

particular emphasis is placed upon

secondary and higher education in

the United States and especially

on the liberal arts and sciences.

In urban affairs, priority is given

to the support of efforts, largely

in the St. Louis area, in the fields

of employment, education and

housing.

The Foundation is both an oper-

ating and grant-making agency;

that is, it makes grants to schools,

colleges, universities and other

public andprivate agencies, and al-

so administers programs designed

to reflect its central emphases.

Charity Week Back

With Missing LinkAs another semester begins at

Villanova so does another item.

Charity Week with its Missing

Link contest. Charity Week this

year is being presented by the

Junior Class and runs until Sep-

tember 21.

Formerly held around Christ-

mas, the Charity Week was moved

j up this year but despite the change

in time the emphasis is still the

same — helping others. The Char-

ity Week will have a series of

daily activities running through the

week but the week-long Missing

Link contest is still the primary

activity.

This year the Contest has been

set up by Willie Dinan. The pur-

pose beind the contest is to pick

the one person on campus who best

exemplifies the ''different"

BMOC. Votes may be cast for

your favorite Missing Link by

contributing money in the appro-

priate box for your favorite. The

money contributed, which after

the contest goes to charity, is the

equivalent of actual vptes. -On

Saturday, the 21st, Villanova will

find out who gained the coveted

title. Missing Link.

Beside the Missing Link Con-

test other activities have been

planned for the week. On Sunday,

6RE Applications

Available NowFour years ago, when the Class

of '69 were all seniors in high

school, they went through a bat-

tery of tests known as the SAT's.

This year all members of the Class

of '69 who contemplate either gra-

duate work or law school must

take similar tests known as the

Graduate Record or the Law BoardExaminations.

The Graduate Recordexams take

place in the morning and afternoon

and test general aptitude and pro-

ficiency in your prospective field.

Applications for the GRE's can be

obtained from the Post-Graduate

Advisor, Dr. Thomas Green at

his office in Corr Hall.

The Law Boards are also morn-ing and afternoon stressing general

aptitude and reasoning power. Ap-plications for the Law Boards can

be obtained in Room IIO, Bartley

Hall.

Building Vilhnova

Tlie Library StoryBy RICK SERANO

The following article was conceived

and written in a spirit of obfective

rather than yellow journalism. Byobtaining the facts from many sources

inconsistencies have cropped up which

are left for the reader to Judge. Most of

the sources are left unidentified since

their views were expressed with the

provision that they remain anonymous.

The sources are reputable, and hearsay

and rumour have been weeded out to

the best of my ability. I take full

responsibility for the following facts to

be exKtIy as related to me.

Falvey Memorial Library re-opened Its doors on Monday, Sep-tember 9, using the facilities of

the new addition which is about

90% completed. Although the wingwill not receive all of its furni-

ture until October, an impression

of luxury is presented by its var-

ious colored wall-to-wall carpet-

ing and extensive use of marble.

Beneath the building is another

story which has only incidentally

to deal with foundations. The newlibrary is a product of an archi-

tect, Dagit Associates; an adminis-

trator, Rev. Louis Rongione, the

Director of the Library; the lib-

rary staff; and a professional lib-

rary consultant famous in his field,

Philip McNeiff. The aim of abuilding such as a library is to

combine beauty with function.

It was the function of the archi-

tect to supply the aesthetics, the

responsibility of the rest to in-

clude the latter, and the job of Fr,

Rongi(Xie to make the decisions to

coordinate the two components.

Changes and DisagreementSeveral times the blueprints

were changed and many lib-

rary staff meetings were held with

the Mrector to decide policy. Ac-cording to the staff their sugges-

tic«is were accepted by Fr. Ron-

gione but rejected by the archi-

tect, usually for reasons of cost.

Daglt got his way many times;

the staff conceded its position as

an advisory board. Rightly or

wrongly, the professional consul-

tant had greater sway than even

the staff heads.It appears that the architect is

very capable of beautifying a struc-

ture with field stone and burgundy

brick, but because some of the

library staff's suggestions wereeither ig^nored or overruled, the

new addition may be functionally

deficient. This will express it-

self in time through large and

small inconveniences.

Student Responsibility

Before beginning to cate-

gorically list the good and bad

aspects of the newest facility at

Villanova, Father Rongione' s at-

titude should be expressly stated.

In his interview he showed a de-

sire for complete and continual

student-administration communi-cation, emphasizing the need for

neither side to hide anj^hing. Hefully realizes that a university is

for students, and as a result, a

library should primarily serve the

student body. He expects a great

degree of maturity from them in

their treatment of it.

The incompleted $50,000 outdoor

prevent flooding in the new Library.

The following data was gathered

and is presented merely in

search for the truth:

—Although some sources es-

timated as high as 3.5 million

dollars, the official cost wasslightly under 2.5 million: 2

million for the construction, 200,

000 for furnishings, and 50,000

for landscaping. Although

Father said that the road had

to be moved anyway, sources

state that the road was movedto make room for the outside

garden surrounded by brick

walls; the main purpose of this

last minute addition is to pre-

vent the recurrence of the

ground floor flooding this

summer which almost ruined

the entire ground floor carpet-

ing.

--Original plans showed steps

leading up to the library which

now go down, indicating someerror on the part of the archi-

tect which caused the flooding;

Father explained that the lower

building is due to a fortified

foundation which will enable fur-

ther growth of the library in

the form of additional stories,

--AH of the moving was done

in two weeks so that the library

would not be closed on any class

days; although professional

movers were hired, somestudents had to move furniture

from the basement to all floors.

Father Rongione was present

to supervise the operation less

than half of the moving days.

— All partitions are removable

for flexibility; overall facilities

are trebled. An enlarged cata-

loguing room with five new work-ers will process 28,000 books

each year, as opposed to last

year's figure of 9,000. Seating

capacity is 2,000, not counting

employees. Book capacity is

nearly 600,000; there are nowapproximately 230,000 volumesin the library,

--The ceiling on all floors,

designed by Mr. Joseph Grey-son, a Villanova professor of

Mechanical Engineering, is the

only one of its kind on the eastcoast. The material is acous-

pa|io and reading area designed to

ticon, and the air conditioning

vents are placed for even cool-

ing around the lighting fextures.

--Many of the library staff feel

that the addition is plush. Father

insisted that there was "hardly

any luxury here."

—Another elevator was pro-

posed, but at the price of$63,000

was ruled out, being considered aluxury for a school our size.

A solarium on the roof wasturned down for the same rea-

son; very fortunate since it

would only be torn down whenthe supposedly planned expan-

sion would take place.

--Due to a gift dcmated for that

specific purpose estimated in the

area of $100,000, there will

be a Rare Book and V.I. P. Roomon the same floor as Fr, Ron-

gione' s office. Within is crush-

ed velvet furniture and thick red

carpeting similar to Father's

office, as well as a combination

refrigerator - stove.

--The security system of the

library consists in toto of two

of Captain Cunnane's guards whohave orders only to patrol the

entire library.

--Father stated that the main

entrance had to be sheltered;

as an afterthought its roof wasturned into a patio to which

Father has access through a

conference room.-. There is a view of the old

roof from the west sidewindows

on the top floor; Father replied

that this was a mistake but that

glass was cheaper than brick.

--The wall of the old building

can be seen from this samefloor. Originally the architect

planned an entrance to the top

floor of the old building. Since

this would interfere with a plan-

ned seminar room, the empty

space will be made into a grot-

to. Original plans were to makethe grotto in the best taste with-

out sparing the cost. Sources

state that a cheaper version will

repUce it, one which students

will be tempted to turn into a

graffiti grotto. r--The new card catalogue is

without boards on which to rest

the drawers; the old inexact

system of labelling each drawer

has not been clarified.

--The head of circulation is in

charge of the student librarians;

placed near the circulation desk

to enable her to easily alleviate

any faculty or student difficul-

ties, her office was tobe glassed

for maximum ability to observe

such problems; this was neg-

lected.

--Between circulation and the

reference room is a wall which

serves as an immense display

case. No one, not even the archi-

tect has been able to suggest

what could be done with it.

--The delay in completion wasexplained by Father as "one of

those things anyone who has

remodeled his kitchen would

understand. "Others state that

furniture was ordered quite late;

that is why it is not here now.

Every year there Is a new Villanova. A considerableportion of the old student body is gone and anotherlarge group appears for the first time. Paces changein positions of authority as people are promotedupstairs or booted downstairs. Good and bad comeand go.

Villanova becomes new because every memberof this community has had a summer hiatus of

several months during which he and she has changed.Thinking is done about the world, the nation, Vil-

lanova and everything else. Things are done that

open, close or otherwise re-form minds. So stu-

dent or faculty number 98376 no longer meansquite what it did last year.

Until we get a better idea of what the new Vil-

lanova is like, THE VILLANOVAN will try

to restrain some of our impulses to criticize in

this column.For example, we could have condemned the

significant inconveniences imposed upon many stu-

dents by the construction tie-ups (e.g.; living

conditions in the girls* dorm and the amazing lines

for meals in the resident cafeteria), as something like

**one more example of Administration incompetence;'*but there is evidence that, at least in part, the

delays WERE unavoidable, and that real pressurewas exerted to get the dorm finished on time.

On issues like that one, we will try to give the

benefit of the doubt to those In charge, unless wediscover evidence to the contrary.

However, although we will try to restrain ourcriticism for the moment, we are at the sametime, committed to reporting as much as we can,

as objectively as we can. Hence, our discussion

of the new library addition and the controversyover Its construction. We tried to be not overly

critical (after all, not everyone can have his orher way In the planning of a building), but It seemedto us that many people on campus would be Interested

In how a project like this Is carried out at Villanova.

Some might conclude from the facts that the archi-

tect, or an authority like Father Rongione,

or the library staff should have more, op less,

power, but we tried to keep judgments of that kind

out of our story. In the future. In further attemptsto close the Information gap between the adminis-tration and the rest of the Villanova community,we hope to provide more studies of decision-makingprocesses within the administration.

By * 'keeping them honest** In that way, we will try

to help them better wield the great power they haveover student and faculty lives.

S^ptembT 18, 1968 • THE VILLANOVAN • PoyS

Velly IntelestingDespite the alleged **general concern" with resolv-

ing those great crises, despite the public

relations staffs and the makeup men, and despite

the glorious tradition of American politics, It seemsto us that there are only two significant possibilities:

1) the two party system (the two parties being

that called ** Democratic** and that called **Repub-lican**) Is no longer adequate to reflect quickly oraccurately enough the general changes of attitude

among the population, or 2) It IS an accurate reflection

of the predominant mood, and that mood is one of

reaction against agitation for changes, and In favor

of a good measure of repression.

If, the first Is true. It may mean that there Isn't

time to wait for Improvement, because those who areangry may let loose their anger to bring the wholestructure down. We do not relish that possibility,

but, at the same time, we must acknowledge It Is

a possibility.

If the second explanation of this election Is true.

It may mean real repression, which would amountto as much a * 'revolution,** as much a betrayal

of **the American political tradition** as any revolu-

tion on the left. Whether Daley was right orwrong, there Is no doubt that Chicago was a police

state—the kind of state that COULD happen here.

Whether we as Individuals want It or not, it canhappen.

So we look forward to a fascinating race, though

we may not vote In It. Morbid fascination, like ponder-

ing whether one would prefer to go by knife

or firing squad. Then again, what If nothing happened?Nothing at all . .

Why S.D.S.Cause

By CHUCK STEVENSMany students at Villanova who

have been actively trying to find

solutions to the problems confront-

ing our society and university

have questioned the wisdom of

forming an SDS chapter on the

Villanova campus. In particular

their criticisms have been: that

SDS would not have a large basis

of support at Villanova; that SDS

Is a communist front organiza-

tion, subversive in nature;

that being associated with nation-

al SDS in no way would help

us with solving problems at Vil-

lanova.

While these criticisms have

some truth to them, they are

, based on an incomplete view of

what SDS really is.

STUDENTS FOR A DEMO-CRATIC SOCIETY is an associa-

tion ofyoung people of the left. It

seeks to create a sustained com-

munity ofeducational and political\mu

concern; one bringing tofether

liberals and radicals^ activists and

scholars, students and faculty. It

maintains a vision of a democratic

society, where VISION OF a demo-

cratic society, where at all levels

the people have control of the de-

cisions which affect them and the

resources on which they are de-

pendent. It seeks a RELEVANCEthrough the continual focus on

realities and on the programs

necessary to effect change at the

most basic levels of economic, po-

litical, and social organization. It

feels the URGENCY to put forth a

radical, democratic program whose

methods embody the democratic

vision.

Preamble, SDS Constitution

SDS in other words is a

broad coalition rather than a mon-

olithic organization. Its chap-

ters are autonomous and do

as they please; whUe at the same

time on national Issues such at

the War, crime, the draft, stu-

dent rights, poverty, and racism,

these individual units can com*into coalition in a democratic

fashion to confront these national

problems with a nati(Hial effort.

These general policies are madtonly at the 2 national conventlont

which are democratic in nature^

one man one vote; no "elected

committees" can make policy.

Furthermore even tire decisions

of these conventions are nol'

binding on the autonomus chapters.

Why should Villanova ba

active on the national scene? Doniwe have enough of our owa

problems right here to keep us

busy?

We're Already Involved

The fact is Villanovans are

already active on the national

scene. At the same time Father

Papin was in Czechoslovakia, Vil-

lanova students were in QM-

Fun & GamesMonopoly

By J. F. PELLICCIOTTI

I find ttiat it is indeed

a lamentable fact that "Monoply"has been the largest selling gamein this nation ever since its in-

troduction many years ago.

I feel that Monopoly is completely

Irrelevant to ANY aspect of Am-erican society today, having

first come on the scene when those

great folk heroes Andrew Car-negie, H. L. Hunt, J. P.

Getty, et alia were worshipped for

having fulfilled the AmericanDream by Making Money, albeit

over the nearly dead bodies and

totally dead intellects of millions

of their employees. Children to-

day have a rather strong

grasp on reality, and they realize

that all the financial empires have

already been built, and who wants

to own the Boardwalk anyway? This

being the case, I believe tiiat

these kids deserve games which

do have certain relevance to the

contemporary and which are as

realistic as possible. Monopoly,

of course, falls fcir short on both

of these main points. Consequently,

to save the game -game from sure

financial failure hi the near future,

as well as to attain the aforemen-

tioned goals, I have seen

fit to invent a completely new

series of games which I

feel will meet these problems.

ConventionThe first is called "Con-

vention." This is a gamefor two or more plajrers, although

it is usually played with Just one

person, the object being to win

your party's nomination for Presi-

dent of the United States.

The players roll dice todetermine

the number of moves they will

make along a boanl which 1.9 out-

fitted with a number jf squares

indicating state delagations, "GoodLuck Chance" squares, "Bad Luck

Chance" squares, and so on. Ex-

ample: the first player throws the

dice and lands onthesquari mark-ed "Cftilo." This player, there-

fore, fails heir to all of

Ohio's delegate votes. The gamecontinues in similar fashion

until one player obtains the re-

quired number of votes which,

hopefully, will occur before the

game is even started. "Chance"squares are marked thusly:

"Opinion poll hi your favor,

move ahead one space," or, morlikely, "Your campaign managerarrested, skip two turns," "Six

delegates pledged to you run

over by tank, go back one space,"

"Your staff has been gassed, skip

one tun." The realism inherant

Names

Why Is There Air?By RICK SERANO

What's in a name? Not much,

really, when you are talking about

flowers and babies, but another

type of name -calling has signifi-

cance. I'm referring to the chris-

tening of buildings and other mem-orials. Then the name becomes

more then a means of identifi-

cation. It emerges as a memorycue,, causing one to recall the

life of the pers<Hi or history of

the city, or event for which the

structure is named.

m be honest. It does not take

long for a meaningful name to be-

come an empty handle. For ex-

ample, whenever I now hear J.F.K.

International Airport mentioned in

the news, I no longer pause to

think of the murdered man Iwhind

the name. The "J.F.K." seemsto bounce off a shell of insen-

sitivity and I cease letting my-self be affected by such tragic

thoughts as young dead presidents

and statesmen.

I still feel that sometimes a

name of an American who has

essentially followed the lead of

Christ in givhig even his life in

man's service should be perpet-

uated. Maybe only once we will

say, "I'm going to HammarskjoldHall", and will stop to contem-

plate not only that man's death,

but more importantly, his ideals

and dreams. Maybe the few sober

moments that such a dedication

would give are worth the trouble

of a memorial plate or sign.

Student Opinion

Now I am not implying that

Villanova should begin a grandiose

program to change Sheehan to Ro-bert Kennedy Hall or Austin to

Martin Luther King Hall. Thereare now many opportunities whichshould not be wasted. New build-

ings on campus are sprouting uplike mushrooms, though becauseof their cost, mayl)e they should

be designated as champignons. In

any case, one of these toadstools,

the new service building, was re-

cently designated as Belle Air Hall.

This seems not only to be a waste,

but to he terribly ncm-committal.

The name of the old Rudolf farm

has Iwen perpetuated rather con-

conclusively, it seems, with the

naming of the yearbook, the Belle

Air. Is there a need of repeti-

tion for emphasis? Last year a

VILLANOVAN editorial suggested

this building to be dedicated to

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Either

the suggestion was ignored or those

who have the power to christen

do not read what their students

have to say in their newspaper.

Such men as Robert Kennedy

were not super-heroes or gods,

and maybe were not heroic at all.

Some would say that men in the

public eye must take many chances

which are a part of their office

and image. However, merely be-

cause as men whose meaning in

life is suddenly concentrated into

a single act of death in service,

they are outstanding models to

modem manhood.

Maytie Next Time

The Women's Dorm and the newwing of the Falvey Memorial Li-

brary are as yet unnamed. Pos-sibly this time the Administration

will listen to student and faculty

opinion to affect the name of these

structures. One student even sug-

gested a University-wide plet)-

iscite to provide an equitable sol-

.

ution. There is still time for any

such actions, since the dates of

completion of all of these build-

ings are up in the air. Maybe

we can at least have a consti-

tutional monarchy at Villanova.

The ManCornpone

By CHARLES F. MOSS

One of the most maligned and

misunderstood characters on the

contemporary scene is a pudgylittle man from Alabama. GeorgeWallace is not molded in the tra-

dition of the immortal Kennedy norare his speeches polished and arti-

culate. Yet, as he tours the

country in his antiquated plane hecontinues to stir up ferment in

the masses.In the political arena he is some-

what of an enigma and in essence,

an anachronism. His movementhas been categorized by some as

one of hate; however, tills ap-

praisal is as shallow as the manwho uttered it. His presence casts

an ominous shadow on the hallow-

ed two party system. GeorgeWallace, has become synonymouswith turmoil, as his candidacy

threatens to steal enough votes

from the "popular" candidates to

cause a stalemate.

The question immediately arises

as to the reasons for this pheno-

mena. How? and more import-

antljf^why?

Back to Jackson

Perhaps, it can l)e. pictured as

a retrogression to the Jackson

-

era in our history, with Wallace

preaching a doctrine of commonsense for the common man. Hetosses catch-phrases like states'

rights, free enterprise and pro-

tection of private property to the

confused and embittered populous.

His words, emblazoned on a cross

of fire are to a people tired

of being trodden under and abusedby political machines, foreign po-wers and the flames of social

chaos.

Meaningful Entity

Wallace glorifies the individual

and stresses his importance as aformidable and meaningful politi-

cal entity. His views may heanti -intellectual and pepperedwith prejudice, but they are neverveiled in hypocrisy. He makesno effort to appease the multi-

tude of special interest groupsand minorities. His form lacks

the popular technique of circular

reasoning and trite expressions.He speaks plainly and logically.

Femmes FatolesSex

By GERARD BANMILLER

Until now, I have dutifully ovej-

looked the blunders committed by

the administration of Villanova

University. I looked the other waywhen no significant action wastaken on the cafeteria issue, I

shut my eyes to the rape of our

lovely green campus by the con-

struction of a library addition.

However, a decision recently madeby our superintendents I cannot

let pass without issuance of crit-

ical alarm. Good God, they've al-

lowed girls to matriculate!

ExcusesOf course, the excuses have been

many and multiform. Typical is

that the concept of a university as

a "community" Is more fulfilled

by women present on the campus.It is more likely that with the

new draft laws concerning grad

school deferments, the admittance

of girls will guarantee an amplesupply of candidates for our owngraduate programs. Hosanna to

the dollar!

ParadoxWhat really makes the decision

approach the realm of the ridicu-

lous is the paradox presented by

space limitation. Dormitorieshave been an urgent need on ourcampus for the past fifteen years.

So, instead of spending so muchsupposedly scarce money on a

girl's dorm, with gigantic clos-

ets, individual sinks, and mattres-

ses that make the ones in SuUi-

\1\- v,;

van look like postage stamps, whynot expand the meo's facilities

and show some appreciation to a

tradition that has made this col-

lege so great?

The administration has their

allies in the male student who,

with a moist upper lip, grunts,

"Man, the more broads, the bet-

ter." What this lecher doesn't

see is the deleterious, rather than

beneficial effects on his social

life. Last year, most Villano-

vans couldn't wait for that Fri-

day night date with the horny

Harcumite and the Saturday night

excursion with the equally homy,but less aggressive, Rosemontite.

Gone also are the obscenity- ridden

basketball cheers, the off-color

jokes in class, and the general

spirit of camaraderie which dis-

tinguished Villanova before,

Pro-Girl

Please dispel any Impression

that I am anti-girl. The cute

blonde who t3TDed this essay for

me will agree that I'm extreme-

ly pro- girl. Like the rest of you.

Interaction with the other sex is

personally very gratifying. How-ever, how in the hell can I con-

centrate on my Ethics lecture

with the sight of a pair of beau-

tiful gams, crossed under a mini-

skirt, assaulting my eyeballs?

A SolutionUnlike most crusading essay-

ists, I am prepared to propose a

solution to this shattering prob-

lem. Let us show the adminis-

tration that WE have some respect

for tradition. We will exhibit a

pride in our great paternal univer-

sity, daring not to turn our backson the one-hundred and twenty-

five year legacy of our Villanova!

Loyal Villanovans, I urge a boy-

cott of all Villanova women! Wewill neither speak to, show def-

erence towards, or give (he plea-

sure of a date to any of these de-

filers of our beloved Villanova.

They have trodden on a sacredheritage. They have disturbed

the sleep of the departed Vil-

lanovans. The monastery grave-

yard is no longer peaceful. If

you dare, walk by it at night.

Face the bleached headstones and

declare your support for the ad-

ministration. Then, hear the low-

pitched groaning emitting fromyour rebuke rs. But for those of

you who voice your opposition to

this usurpation by the females of

our species, these past Villanova

servants direct toward you their

silent blessing.

Declare Yourself

So, I implore you, hold your headhigh and declare your antagonismto the female Villanovan in voice

and deed. Then, and only then,

can you sing the Alma Mater at

graduation and be sincere if youget moist. If you participate in

this boycott, you can be satis-

fied that you have saved the wild-

cat from becoming a pussycat!

We haw b6en very proud to have

been received so well by the

students from Villanova who have

been in to see our new shop. To the

rest of the nnen on campus, weinvite you to stop in and browse

and see our great selection of

sweaters, slacks, and just about

everything a man at college needs.

cago; both were engaged, on

tiie highest levels, in the struggle

for freedom.

Again—Why SDS? Is there no

other democratic association of

students fighting for liberty on

a national level with less fkults

and more assets than SDS? NO.

SDS was founded by a

group of graduate students who

came together in the summer of

1961 at Anne Arbor, Michigan to

discuss the pressing problems of

the U.S. and the world. After

taking part in the great struggle

of the black people of the south

for freedom, these students be-

gan to apply what they learned

about the true meaning of freedom

from the courageous though pov-

erty stricken Black people of

Mississippi, to their own lives

and found that they too were the

victims of totalitarian rule and

had no say in how their own lives

were run. So began the student

revolt.

Concrete Solutions

Also they began to open

their eyes to the terrible con-

ditions around them and they

discovered that America was

poverty stricken. One third of

the population lives in poverty,

according to the government's

own figures.

They began to open their eyes

to the exploitation of the third

world by the U.S. corporations

and government; this became

clearer in light of the genecidal

war in Vietnam. SDS sponsored

the first major demonstration

against the War, April 1965, in

Washington D.C.

SDS, contrary to the dis-

torted picture presented in

the press, is engaged in an aca-

demic effort of study to

determine the root causes of the

crisis now confronting Am-erica and to determine concrete

solutions engendered by this

crisis. JOIN US.

The main purpose of the programwas to expose the boys to somethingdifferent in the way of studies and

recreation. The schedule that the

seminarians drew up included daily

swimming, speech, drams, art,

music, language arts, chemistry,physics, biology, and at the endof the program, astronomy.Through this exposure the semin-arians hoped that the boys would beencouraged to read more and take

Lifters Second in NationSeptember 18, 1968 • THE VILLANOVAN • Poge 7

On Saturday, May 11, 1968 at

East Lansing, Michigan the top

ranked weightliftingteam from Vil-

lanova University lost the National

Collegiate Welghtliftlng Champion-

ship Title by one point to the de-

fending champicMis from Michigan

State University. Unfortunately the

Cat ironmen could not field a full

team of five men due to a sick-

ness of one of the team members.

Villanova' s four man squad com-

posed of Ricky Giandrea, Gerard

T. Keffer, Tubby Richards and cap-

tain Jim Repucci, racked up 15

points to Michigan's 16 points

scored by a five man team. Vil-

lanova finished ahead of eighteen

other colleges and universities

from across the nation and l)ettered

last year's third place finish. The

University of Maryland finished

third behind Villanova with 6 points

and four schools (Colorado State)

tied for fourth with 5 points each.

Among the other schools repre-

sented at the meet were: Notre

Dame, Loyola of Chicago, North

Texas State, Franklin and Mar-

shall, Shenandoah, Western N.

Mexico and the University of In-

diana.

^—By PETE PHILBINJ

When I first assumed the position as sports edi-

tor of this paper I received some quick advice

from my cohorts. I was cautioned to avoid all

that **corn»' about spirit In my feature columns.

Everyone had enough of that stuff In high school

end It was time to think about more serious matters.

^iBut I must say something about this subject,

derloid-as It may be by the so-called Intellectuals

of the college community. As coach Gregory stated

there Is no activity or occasion more unifying to the

campus than a Saturday afternoon football game.

Mr, Gregory really believes In this and thats what

Impresses one most about him. Naturally student

support will be benlflclal to the team and to re-

cruiting but even more so it will help to make

Villanova a great university. And let's face it

we will all benefit from having attended an out-

standing institution instead of just an average one.

One good way of doing this is to actively support

not just the football squad but all teams win or

lose and to show the world that Villanova is some-

thing.

Another reason for writing about this thing called

spirit, however, is the constant talk about the Notre

Dame spirit ad nauseam. There is no college on

the face of the earth that I despise more than the

Fighting Irish. All you hear Is how the Notre Damemen hold up their heads up proudly when speaking

of their alma mater and how they support their team

undauntlngly through thick and thin. All this may be

true but then you get the line about how great an

academic Institution It Is. Granted there may be

some extremely Intelligent people In South Bend but

not too many are football players. Not to say Vil-

lanova has not been guilty of this but to nowhere

near the extent of our Catholic counterpart in the

midwest. These are no generalizations either,

as any honest Notre Dame man will attest.

So if for no other reason than sheer annoyance about

N.D. the whole student body should get behind the

football team this year. I hope however, that most

people's reasons are positive rather than negative.

The team faces a very tough schedule and lacks

depth in many positions. But an enthusiastic, in-

terested crowd could make the difference In a few

ball games and the difference between a winning and

losing season. It has hapoened before.

Let's then develop a camaradierle unique on the

Villanova campus and never again be compared to

any other school. The rewards for such active

support are multiple; a more interesting college

life, a better reputation for the school and an im-

proved brand of football. All in all the student

body will benefit the most by it.

Cats Face Toledo HereBy DON HALBERSTADT

When Villanova opens their sea-

son with Toledo this Saturday they

will be fSacing one of tf)0 hotter

teams in ttie nation. Including last

year's record, Coach Lauterbur's

Rockets have rung up a string of

ten victories, the longest win

streak in the nation. '

^^

Leading this impressive victory

parade is All -American candidateRoland Moss who was second na-

tionally in scoring last year. Ac-cording to Coach Gregory, how-ever, quarterback Steve Jones will

be the man to watch, "He runs

the hundred in 9.6 and has the

same backfleld from last year

to work wltii." So how do we beat

them Coach? "Speed is their great-

est asset so we'll concentrate (Xi

stopping their running game." If

you hear quiet laughing behind you

it's most likely Coach Lauterbur

who can afford to feel smug after

his Rockets destroyed their own

freshman team 80 to 0. .

Wide Open GameThe opening game, then, will put

the wildcats' scoring abilities to

the test. On offense the game plan

is simple, to score quickly and

often. The defense must stc^ Jones

& Company from wearing a patti

between the end zones. Either wayttie best seats have got to be on ttie

goal lines.

Football(Continued from page 8)

(5' 10", 2001bs.), he is one of the

hardest hitters on the team. The

defensive ends for the Toledo gamewill most likely be Juniors Rick

Breski and Bill Daly. Both, have

the speed and size necessary to

stop the strong outside running

attack of Roland Moss and the

Toledo Rockets. The linebacker

spots have been the object of muchccMicern since the top four line-

backers of last year's team either

graduated or were switched to

offense. It appears that junior

Bill Brannon is set at one of the

inside spots, and either Fran Auch

or Fuzzy Wiggins will start at the

other spot, while senior MikeZlzzo will start at the rover spot

vacated by the switching of John

Sodashl to QB.

The corner back spots highlight

the return of last year's starters

Denny Kelly and Gene Arthur. Thesafety .Ition has been filled by

Soph ^iiio Follno, who has the

speed and moves necessary for

that crucial position. Summingup, it ; >ears that the major de-

fensive problem will be how quickly

the team can get together the

experience and potential that is

available.

As Season Opens Here Against Toledo

Harriers Seek Third Straight NCAA CrownDefense Key

By CHARLIE FINOCHIARO

As the 1968 version of the Vll-

lanova football team goes through

its final drills in preparation for

this Saturday's season opener

against the Toledo Rockets, there

still appears to be many questions

which have to be answered con-

cerning the potential of the squad.

Coach Jack Gregory has pro-|

claimed that this season will be

the starting point for the "NewEra" of Villanova football;

however, several newcomers on

both the offensive and defensive

squads will have to prove them-j

selves quickly if the outset of the

"New Era" is to be successful.

Strong Backfield

At this tine, the offensive back-

field appears to be the strongest

point on the team. Led by co-

captain John Sodaski, whom the

coaching staff considers the best

all-around athlete on the squad,

the returning lettermen are: co-

captain Frank Boal and Bill Wa-lik, both sub- 10 second men in

the hundred with Sodaski at quar-terback and Boal and Walik at

halfback, the scoring punch is po-

tentially there. They key to this

backfield, however, will be the

development of a strong fullback

who can bull for the short yardage

and lead the interference for the

halfbacks on the option play andend sweeps. Presently, there

are two prime candidates for this

position, junior Mick Kerins and

Powerful freshmen in action against the varsity, this year's frosh are considered to be the best Villanovayearlings ever.

pectively, and should be a steady-

ing influence on the less

erperienced left side of the line,

vrYL^h most likely will be made up

of soph Toe Cervini at tackle and

either .senior Mike McDonald or a

transfer from a California Junior

College, Steve Puente. The pivot

spot on the line is the scene

of a battle between senior Tom.Braun and junior Mark Schiller.

If the offensive line jells early in

the season, the scoring potential

of the team should materialize

quickly.

New Men on Defense

On defense, there are new menat seven positions; however, these

replacements appear capable to

handle their responsibilities. Thestrcmg point of the defensive teamwill definitely be defensive tackle,

where pre season ail-American

pick, Richie Moore (6»7»', 290

lbs.) and junior John Tracey (6'

3»', 245 lbs.) return to anchor the

line. The outstanding soph could

l)e found in Rich Wells at middle

guard. Wells is the quickest line-

man on the team, and although

he is not big by college standards

(Continued on page 7)

up In the air, as all four candi-

dates are about even.

Top Receivers

On the receiving end of all Wild-

cat aerials are three capable re-

ceivers, John Peterson, Mike Siani

and Handsome Waring. Peter-

son, 6»3 - 206 lbs., Siani, 6'3 -

198 lbs., and Waring, 6' - 198

lbs., In addition to their size, have

good speed, clocking under five

seconds in the 40 yard wind sprints.

Waring, a premier hurdler fromcentral High* School in Philadel-

phia, erased a number of Public

League records, formerly set by

Villanova Olympiad Irv Hall, whenhe attended Overbrook High.

The running game is more than

adequate. Fullbacks Pat Hurleyand Joe Kohler each stand out

in their own way and it's a toss -up

in who is going to start. The tail-

backs include Bob Gaeta, DanO'Nell, and Luke Solomon. O'Neil,

a high school All-American, and

Solomon are potential threats to

break away at any time.

Line Strong

An overall view of the interior

offensive line shows good size

and strength. Guard Bill Turchettaat 5' 11 - 210 lbs., has good speedand probably will share one of the

(6'3 - 215 lbs.), Paul Zangrilli(6» - 210), Rich Doyle and BiHMingey. Ted Freman at 6* - 285lbs. is the heaviest man on thesquad and heads a group of tackles

I

that includes: Mike Harkins, JackKasper, and Bernie Messmer.

In the defensive secondary MarkMiller and John Farenish showgood potential, but still need time

to adjust to varied college offenses.

Dave Campbell, Bill Cronin, Pat

Driscoll, MikeO'Leary, Tim Ryan,

and Bob Shelala complete the de-

fensive halfbacks.

All place kicking responsibilites

will be handled by kicking special-

ist Mike Berrang. Berrang is con-

sidered to be quite accurate fromaround the 30 yard line. Left

footed kicker, Joe Kohler, will

handle the punting chores.

Tough ScheduleThis year's schedule is prob-

ably one of the most difficult

in years with the likes of Army,Navy, Delaware, West Virginia,

Temple and West Chester. Special

interest is cast on the Templegame, for it*s the first meetingof the two schools since 1943.

Furthermore, it should serve as a

preview of the Big Game to take

place in 1970. Commenting on the

squad Coach Rooney feels that

our first 22 will match up with

any school; the only place the

team falls short is overall depth.

TWO-TIME ALL-AMERICAN Tom DonneUy^ shown here running

the steeplechase will captain the 1968 Wildcat harriers. Tom should be

the no. I man on the squad.

Donnelly—Top ManBy ROGER HALEY

Any cross country team that

loses runners the calibre of DavePatrick, Charlie Messenger, and

Ian Hamilton via graduation and

Frank Murphy due to participation

in the Olympic Games, should be

faced with the prospect of at least

one season dedicated solely to

rebuilding. Any team, that is,

except Jumbo Jim EUiofs 1968

edition of the Villanova varsity

cross country squad. The ghost

of Patrick and the other formerWildcats won't have a chance to

haunt this year's harriers, because

the talent is already available in

the person of a number of upper

-

classmen who are quickly reaching

their potential and a pair of really

sensational sophs.

Examining this personnel brings

smiles to any Wildcat fan. First,

there is this year's captain, senior

All-American, Tom Donnelly

who's ability has already been

proven but who is certain to reach

even greater heights in '68.

Already in practice Donnelly has

run a 25:30 on Villanova's tough

course through the Main Line

countryside. Senior Dick Burkle,

after a fine track season last

spring, promises to be even better

in this fall's cross country events.

Burkle holds the school record in

both" the two and three mile run.

Junior Des Mccormick has shown

perhaps the greatest desire in the

early workouts and the diminuitive

Irishman who finished third amongVILLANOVANS in last year's

NCAA championship is sure to be

battling for seccmd spot on this

year's team.Sophomores Key

The Sophomores, however, could

be the key to the Wildcat's success

this year and of course in years

to come. Coach Elliot is proud

to boast of a pair of the finest

second year runners on any team

in the country. Marty Liquor 1 and

Chris Mason are sure to fall into

the top positions made vacant by

graduation. However, Liquoriwho

finished first in the Freshman

1C4A event last year still has a

chance to make the Olympic Teamand his absence could hiirt. Masonwho finished fourth in the sameevent last year has been outstand-

ing in practice and everyone

connected with the team is excited

about his potential.

Good Sixth ManA good sixth man is essential

in order to produce an outstanding

performance when needed. Junior

Andy O'Reilly seems to fill that

spot, but the Wildcats also have

talent in junior's Jim Weir, Mike

Garvey, Greg Muth, and ReneSchlag. Sophomores Marty Hughes

and Brian Sullivan are also in con-

tention.

No team has ever won three

consecutive NCAA cross country

championships, but the Villanova

thin clads who defended their

1966-Utle last year are aiming

particularly for thatunprecedented

feat The fact that this year the

event is held in the East, in NewYork's Van Cortland Park, and the

fact that the team spirit has never

l}een greater could provide the

impetus for still another Villanova

first in sports.

get."

In the negotiations at Cierna,near the river Tison and in Brati-slava it appeared that Dubcek hadwon a great victory. He even got

the Russians to come to him. Foras one female TV commentator put

it, 'Don't let Dubcek go to

Deans of Men, WomenDefend Administration

on Public Show TodayBy JOE BURT

A public radio **speakout" on

campus problems at Villanova is

scheduled to start this afternoonon WWVU radio from 4:30 to 6:30

in the East Lounge of Dougherty

Hall. This show will feature this

week the Dean of Men, Joseph

Beyilaqua; the Dean of Women, M.Dorothy Boyle; Rev. Charles

Tirrell, O.S.A.Vice President of

Student Activities; and other key

members of the Administration.

Rev. Patrick Rice, O.S.A. has

promised that a representative

of the Administration will appear

on every program of the series.

The program will be an open

fomm: all students are invited

to come to the East Lounge of

Dougherty Hall from 4:30 to 6:30

to voice their opinions or askquestions of the Administration

representatives.

This program is part of a general

movement among leaders of

campus activist groups to demon-strate that substantial student

support exists for the ''reforms"

which they are advocating to the

Administration. Connected to the

radio program Wednesday are the

Field House "Speakout" whichwasheld last night as a fomm for

general student qpinlon and a

special meeting called by S.G.A.

president Joe Mayberry for Mon-day night (Septemt}er 23). At that

meeting, leaders of ''Concerned

Citizens", The "Social Action

Committee," and other campusactivist groups met to talk over

goals and objectives to avoid

working at cross purposes. It

is hoped among campus activists

generally that such groups will be

able to find common goals and per-

haps even be able to coordinate

their programs for ^creasedeffectiveness.

Political Poll ResultsBy DONNA TAYLOR

Last spring, Villanova partici-

pated in a nation-wide political

poll called Choice *68. The poll

jointly sponsored by the Time-Life C orp. and the UNIVAC division

of Sperry Rand asked questions on

Presidential preference, Vietnamand our urban situation. The result

of the Villanova survey has just

been released with some sur-

prising results. The voting for

the liberally-oriented candidates

for President was large but scat-

tered. The poll also showed a

surprising conservative minority

and an alarmingly large Wallace

oriented vote. On Vietnam, stu-

dents selected the choices that

received the largest national vote

but at a lower percentage. Onthe Urban crisis questions, weagain struck the right questions but

below the average for the Middle

Atlantic states revealing a decided

conservative streak to the

Villanovan voter.

President

The men that the Villanova

students wanted for President werein order of finish: Eugene Mc-Carthy, Robert Kennedy, Nelscxi

Rockefeller, Richard Nixon, Lyn-

Cris McGill

RoaemontData ofJim OVonrtor

don Johnson, John Lindsay, Ronald

Reagan, Charles Percy and George

Wallace, preferences that the

national vote substantiated as the

national line-up. McCarthy wonwith 35.3% of the total vote.

Kennedy was second with 25%.

When students expressed a com-mitment to a particular party their

votes revealed some of the actual

or potential power of candidates

in an opposing party e.g. John

Lindsay got 24% of his votes fromDemocrats even with Robert Ken-

nedy and Eugene McCarthy also

on the ticket. While those whostated that they were Republicans

gave George Wallace 16% of his

total vote even when Ronald Rea-

gan was on the ballot.

When the votes were broken downaccording to age of the voter the

results revealed the liberalizing

force that either college or age

is on student attitudes. For ex-

ample, George Wallace received

46% of his support from 19 year

olds and Lyndon Johnson received

36%. The 20 year olds gave

Ronald Reagan 33% of his total

vote. Those 21 years of age or

older gave John Lindsay 28% of

his total, 33% to Robert Kennedy,

and 35% to Eugene McCarthy.

VietnamWhen asked about a Vietnam

policy, 14% of the Villanovans

wanted withdrawal, 48% a re-

duction, 8% the status quo, and-

10% for escalation and 20% for

all out. While the average for
