Memo From The Editor

Nowadays Friday evening at Har-Kins Hall is being variously character­ized as "Nursery Night" or "The Harkins Horror." People don't seem to have de­cided which is the more apropos term of derision.

The fact i s , the College's stag mixers are drawing a clientele that would be more at home twirling around a grammar school Maypole than attending an a l ­legedly collegiate a f fa ir .

The well-known truth is that the stag dances have become increasingly incapable of providing the sort of social contacts that a college man is inter­ested in—or perhaps "should be inter­ested in" is a more appropriate phrase. Student griping about the mixers is a sure barometer of fundamental dissat is­faction with the af fa irs .

Youth and general insu i tabi l i ty of the g i r l s is only part of the mess, however. The social stupidity of our

own students contributes to heighten the impression of mil l ing herds of propective date material on the hoof. The dances have become less social affairs than, f iguratively speaking, auction blocks. A set of platforms where male and female can give each other the once­over is the next logical step.

Although i t ' s said that there's a s i lver l ining in every cloud, the s i lver in this af fa ir is more the root of the weekly fiascoes than an ameliorating factor. For the sponsoring clubs, the dances are a case of "pack 'em in without regard to who they are as long as the money is right." For their patrons, i t ' s more l ike "you pay your money and takes your choice.'*

Small return anyone gets out of THAT money !

Apparently, the Student Congress is satisfied to tac i t l y endorse the high school canteen atmosphere. By a l l means let 's not spoil such a grand and wonder­f u l , moneymaking success; ideals are inconvenient.

T h e University of Oklahoma, where a campus debate between advocates of the voluntary sys­tem and an officer of the Okla­homa Reserve drew headlines in local papers, and the Univer­sity of California at Los A n ­geles, Where a petition against compulsory R O T C had 2300 signatures as of Feb. 18, are the latest scenes of action in the growing move to make R O T C voluntary on college campuses.

Brigadier G e n e r a l Clyde Watts denounced advocates of voluntary R O T C as "guileless cowards and panty waists" in a debate at Oklahoma last Wed­nesday.

The case for voluntary R O T C was presented by George Hazel-rigg, past student body presi­dent, who pointed out that the

student and faculty senates at Oklahoma had passed a resolu­tion to make R O T C participa­tion on the campus voluntary, and that the resolution had been sent to the Board of Regents of the University.

U C L A held a rally last week in favor of voluntary R O T C which was concluded with the s i g n i n g of anti-compulsory R O T C petition. The petition had 2330 signatures by t h e day 's end; the goal is 6000. The peti­tion wil l then be sent to Gover­nor Brown.

The R O T C issue is a l so being debated at Missouri, O r e g o n State, Arizona State a n d the University of Washington.

Motions to abolish compulsory R O T C have already been passed by student and faculty senates

Father Murphy Urges Prudence To 300 Couples

"One should look for com­patibility in selecting a hus­band or wife, but you have to realize that no one is per­fect," stated Rev. James M . Murphy, O.P. , at the opening of the fourteenth annual mar­riage forum series. F r . Mur­phy, who is Dean of resident students and chairman of the sociology department, spoke before an audience of ap­proximately 300 couples in Harkins H a l l Sunday night.

F r . Murphy added that no marriage is happy and secure merely by chance. H e em­phasized common sense, think­ing and prudent choosing in f inding a marriage partner.

The next lecture of the mar­riage forum will be held next Sunday at 7:30 p.m.

Editorially Speaking

Helping Hand Needed. . . As previously announced, The Cowl will "hit the

streets" with a special NIT edition in Madison Square Garden tomorrow evening. Our usual press run will be increased to at least 3,000 in an effort to secure wider publicity among the tourney's hoop fans. The papers are also being pre-folded for added convenience.

PC students can help us push the name of the Col­lege in the New York metropolitan area by aiding in the distribution of the paper among the Garden crowd. The task of getting 3,000 copies into the hands of people in all areas of the arena will be beyond the capabilities of The Cowl's staffers unless they can count on outside help from members of the student body.

It is planned to split bundles of papers among staff members, who, in turn, will seek your aid by subdivid­ing the distribution task among volunteers from the ranks of students present. If you can spare but a few moments tomorrow night, we'd like you to help us help Providence College.

On Campus

On The Spot... It's probably unnecessary to drop any reminder

that Providence College will not only be in the spot­light during the coming week, but it will also be on the spot. In short, there will be more than a few people waiting to see whether the Friar fans come home with the same sparkling reputation that they earned in New-York last year.

Student conduct last year did more for the school than a million dollars worth of paid press-agentry. One just can't buy the type of complimentary adjectives that metropolitan newsmen applied to us last year. This year, it's going to be up to all of us not to make a mess out of a good thing.

Remember that we're going tc a basketball game, not a Roman holiday. It's bad enough to suffer a slam from a local columnist, but that doesn't quite compare to the verbal manhandling that several other groups of rambunctious college hoop fans took from the wire serv­ices lately.

There will be a lot of eyes watching in New York. t.ftV give them something good to look at.

Blaze(r) The Trail. . . If you own, or can beg, borrow (but not steal) a

Providence College blazer, tomorrow night is the time to wear it.

Since every one here is admittedly concerned with selling the school to the New York public, there's no point in passing up this golden opportunity to have a thousand human billboards pacing the highways and byways of Manhattan.

A s long as we're all determined to deport ourselves as creditable representatives of the Catholic system of education, a*id, more specifically Providence College, there's no point in preserving any sort of anonymity.

Make sure the credit goes where credit is due!

copy emanating from certain N e w Y o r k columnists, Gotham's experts sti l l regard the Fr iar s with a certain amount of skep­ticism. A n d well they might. Let's face it, the proof sti l l re­mains to be seen.

Perhaps, come M a r c h 19, Providence wi l l have a home away from home, for New

i Yorkers almost adopted us last year. Only the collapse held them back. Thi s year there could be no holding them back, because it doesn't appear that the present Fr iars are about to collapse before anybody.

But then, as an old friend of mine once said, only time wi l l tell.

It was just one year ago this w e e k that the fabulous basket­ball team from Providence sur­prised the round bal l world with t w o magnificent upsets in the N a t i o n a l Invitation Tournament i n N e w Y o r k , the first upset being a victory over Manhattan i n one of the prel iminary g a m e s . J o h n Egan's jump shot in t he last four seconds cl inched t h e game for t h e Fr iars .

It was just three days later that the F r i a r s overcame sec­ond-seeded St. Loui s Univer­sity in a double overtime in quarter finals. L e n Wi lkens led the way with 31 points but he was well supported by John E g a n , J i m Swartz, John Woods and Pete Sche-nicnii. P C then faced St. John's in the semi-finals and, after bowing, they finished in fourth place in the tourna­ment, losing to N Y U in the consolation round.

" A N E M B A R R A S S M E N T O F R I C H E S "

Twinkly , lovable old Dr. WagstafT Sigafoos, head of chemistry at the Upper Rhode Island College of Science and Palmistry, cares naught for glory and wealth. .All he cares alxmt is to work in his laboratory, to play Mozart quartets with a few cronies, to smoke a good Marllioro, and to throw sticks for his faithful dog T r e y to fetch.

So when, after years of patient research. D r . Sigafoos dis­covered Reverso, a shaving cream which causes whiskers to grow inward instead of outward, thus enabling a man to bite off his beard instead of shaving it, it never even crossed his mind that he had come upon a key to fame and riches; he simply assigned all his royalties from Reverso to the college and went on with his quiet life of working in the laboratory, playing Mozart quartets, smoking good Marll>oros and throwing sticks for his faithful dog T r e y . (Trey, incidentally, had died some years earlier but habit is a strong thing and D r . Sigafoos to this day continues to throw sticks.)

A s everyone knows, Reverso turned out to be a madly success­ful shaving cream. Royalties in the first month amounted to $290,000, which came in mighty handy, believe you me, because the college had long been postponing some urgently needed repairs—a lightning rod for the men's dormitory, new hoops for the basketball court, leather patches for the chess team's elbows and a penwiper for the Director of Admissions.

In the second month royalties a m o u n t e d t o a n e v e n million dollars and the college bought Marlboro cigarettes for a l l students and faculty members. It is i n t e r e s t i n g that the col lege chose Marlboro cigarettes though t h e y could well have a f forded more expensive brands. T h e reason is simply this: y o u c a n p a y more for a cigarette but y o u can ' t get a better flavor, a be t t e r smoke. If you think flavor went out when filters came i n , t r y a Marlboro. T h e filter cigarette with the unfiltered tas te . Y o u , too, can smoke like a millionaire at a cost which does n o v io l ence t o the slimmest of budgets.

Nah ig i an Drills Pitchers, Catchers In Gym By Bernard L . Madden

Cowl Sports Edi tor

Outside the gym the snow was piled three feet high, but inside the sound of horsehide pounding into well-padded catchers' mit* could be heard rever­berating through the halls as the var­sity battery candidates swung into their third week of indoor dril ls under the direction of new diamond coach Alex Nahigian.

We heard the strange sounds com­ing forth from the exercise room on the first floor of A l u m n i H a l l and peeked in to investigate There wc saw Coach Nahigian dissecting the motions, grips, and deliveries of his pitchers and instructing h i - catchers

in the correct manner of blocking bad pitches Coach Nahigian is known to be an expert at the latter.

Mike Trodden, soph pitcher who played for Nahigian at nearby T o l m a n High, stated that "In two years pitch­ing at To lman. I d i d n t have a passed ball ."

When quizzed about his team. Na­higian told T h e Cowl that it was too early to tell just how his team wil l shape up since only the batterymen had been working o u t Also, because of the confines of the exercise room, it is almost impossible to pass judge­ment on them.

T h e hurlers and receivers wi l l move into the main gym next Monday and wil l work out there each Monday

Wednesday, and Fr iday at 3:00 p.m. Their freshman counterparts wil l dr i l l there on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the same time.

Infield candidates wil l begin light indoor rehearsals sometime within the very future at a time to be announced by the coach, and the whole team will move outside the last week of this month, weather permitting.

T h e pitching staff is made up com­pletely of sophomores and juniors No seniors turned out at all . It consists thus far of J i m Brennan and Boo Doane. juniors, and George Frese Mike Trodden. J i m Hodgkins. and Milt Bel l , sophs.

Target date for the diamond men is A p r i l 10. when they play at Fairf ie ld .

Attempts at verification have failed

Scannapieco has been out­standing as a leadoff man for Coach Harry Coates this tea-son In the team's five indoor meets he went undefeated in the opening leg. and his times have placed him number three among leadoff runners in the east. T h e only men ahead of him were Drayton of Vil lanova and E l l i s of Morgan State.

The quartet ran a total of five times this year and finished with a record of three victories, one second and one third.

T h e victories came in the Milrose and K C Games in New York , and the K C in Boston. They took the silver medal in the New E n g l a n d A A L meet at M.I T . and finished third in the B o s t o n Athletic Association meet at Boston Garden.
