Glee Club Sings RomeoSymphony With Girls' Choir
by Nye & Overbeck An ambition which the Glee Club
has cherished for many years will be realized next week. On Tues· day and Wednesday nights the club will appear on the regular SUbscription series of the National Symphony concerts in Constitution Hall at 8:30 in the Washington premier of Hector Berlioz' dramatic symphony-Romeo et Juli· ette. This mammoth work (an hour and a half in length) will also enlist the forces of the girls' chorus from Mary Washington College, three vocal soloists, anll the National Symphony under the direction of Dr. Howard Mitchell.
The Glee Club has been rehearsing the work since mid-October by themselves. In the past two weeks they have rehearsed twice with the Mary Washington chorus, most recently last Saturday in Constitution Hall with Dr. Mitchell, with gratifying results. Rehearsals of the combined chorus and orchestra, chorus and soloists, orchestra and soloists, and finally everybody together will all take place in the next few days, so that by Tuesday night everything will be in perfect

Three Prefects
The council contains three non-voting prefect members, who are Michael McCann, Paul Flask. and David Roxe. Joseph Bianco will act as the representative of the Gopley SPO and Father Kelly. The election of Jim Mietus as secretary by the student representatives completes the council.
The purpose of the council is to develop a positive spirit throughout Copley Hall. Dave Hartigan, president of the council, states: "The Copley house council is set up to pursue a positive course of action arrived at by improving the atmosphere of dormitory living." Father Kelly, the person responsible for the council's establishment, adds that the council is not primarily a legislative or ex e cut i v e body. Rather it is a forum where students from each corridor come together. Dormitory problems will be discussed, but academic and cultural events can also be planned.
Up To The Students Joseph Bianco. the manager of
the Copley Student Personnel Office, stressed that it is up to the entire building to make the council a success through co-operation and total time put into events. He pointed out that three lay prefect members are non-voting members, since it is up to the students to make the council function efficiently.
The council began its official activities at its initial meeting last Monday. A committee was established to investigate the possibility of redecorating Copley Recreation Room. A proposal was made that the order prohibiting the use of the north, doors in Copley be repealed and Father Kelly promised to take this into consideration.
sideration in the next three years.
Increasing Stature It is a measure of Georgetown's
increasing stature as one of the country's top universities that it has been selected for this evaluation. Previous applications had not resulted in Georgetown's selection. However, as Dr. Franklin Williams, Chairman of the English Department and of the University's Phi Beta Kappa faculty committee stated in a letter requesting a chapter here, "It is our conviction that since our application in 1958, the College's claims have been substantially strengthened by improvements in curriculum . . . administration, and intellectual interest. Notable is the increase in fellowships won by our graduating seniors."
DOES THAT MEAN THAT? . _ . questions, and some answers, at last Thursday's senior meeting.
"As a practical answer to your~ questions, the prefects will not be checking you at midnight," Rev. Arthur Gordon, S.J., Director of Student Personnel, told members of the senior class at a meeting in Gaston Hall last Thursday. The elimination of checks, he said, came as a result of the seniors' mature conduct during the first half of the academic

truly remarkable," said Father Gordon. He credited the seniors with being a good influence on underclassmen throughout the College. "I know that you were not asking for complete license," the disciplinarian -said. "I feel you were asking to be given a responsibility you know you can handle."
The meeting was opened by Rev. Joseph A. Selliner, S.J., Dean of the College, with a reading of the now-famous article of James Reston from the New York Times of February 25. Referring to John Glenn, Reston wrote, "This was no insensitive robot who landed here from the heavens yesterday morning, but a warm and thoughtful human being: natural, orderly, considerate and, at times, quietly amusing and even eloquent."

r. form for the performance.
Language Problems
In conjunction wit h Sargent Shriver, Father George Dunne, S.J., announced this week Georgetown's coming role in training volunteers for the Corps.
Rev. John F. Devine, S.J., Master of New South, also addressed the seniors at the meeting, adding his own praise of the class to Father Gordon's. He went on to discuss the technicalities of the new system. "It is not in any way taking away the authority of the lay prefects," Father Devine said. The prefects should be told whenever a student knows he will be out after midnight. "We still expect the Georgetown senior to be in at 12," he concluded. "Weare not going to check on it, but we expect it."
All this work has been necessitated by the problems of the composition, which are enough to prevent most amateur groups from even attempting it. Perhaps the most outstanding problem of this performance is that the work is to be sung in French, and while it is true that many students have had at least two years of pronouncing j'aime, tu aimes, it is an entirely different matter when the language is sung. French has 'many sounds which are never pronounced in speaking, which are in singing.
There is also of course the problem of the score itself, which at

Editorials
CongratulatiQns The past week at Georgetown has seen the compilation
of two records which can only reflect credit on the school. One, of course, is the basketball team's. best record in a decade. We would simply add our congratulations to those that have already come the team's way and are reflected in today's sports pages.
But the men who compiled the other record, in an undertaking fully as demanding as athletic competition, have received little of the credit that is rightfully theirs. These are the Philodemic debaters, especially the four-man team that put in such an outstanding performance in last weekend's Cherry Blossom Tournament. This is the kind of work we have come to expect of the Philodemic, and the demonstrated depth of their squad augurs well for their success. in the national finals and again in next ye:;tr's competition. We wish them well.
Editorials Lately there has been some wondering over the question
of where editorials come from. The HOYA from time to time has car~ied a short statement on that question. It has been a good while since the last such statement, and this seems an opportune time for one.
Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all editorials are written by the Editor-in-Chief, who takes full personal responsibility for whatever is said in them. Other members of the Editorial Board ought not to be held responsible for any statements that get too far off the ground or statements that never manage to get off the ground at all; nor for fractured syntax and other sundry outrages on the English language.
That is not to say that these editorials are one man's private viewpoint; by and large, they are written only after hearing the views of a number of responsible individuals. As the only regular written expression of student opinion, we consider that we have a serious obligation in writing them. Student opinion, if it is to mean anything, must be both upright and forthright. Whenever we fail in either of those respects, we are ready to hear of it. The letters column is always open. Readers ought to avail themselves of it more freely. There are few things so worthy of respect as honest opinion honestly expressed. Let us hear from you. This is your paper.

1_. Round-up] Dr. Louis Dupre, of the Philos
ophy Department, will give a repeat lecture on "Marx's View on Man: Its Challenge to Us" in Copley Lounge Tuesday, March 13 at 7:30 p.m. The affair is being given by the arts and sciences committee of the junior class.
The publicity director of WGTB informs us that 8 :00 p.m. is "Spotlight Time" FM, and listeners will be entertained by broadcasts dealing with miscellaneous topics, all of which, however, involve Georgetown students and faculty. This is, apparently, something of an experiment on their part, and is part of a policy of complete cove·rage of Campus and world goings-on.
Anyone interested in applying for the Philippine Foreign Service may contact this office for particulars. (The strangest things come in the mails these days.)
Letters- We-Should -Have- Written-To-The-Editor Dept. It certainly was a fine time to spread that stuff on Copley lawn and on the sidewalk in front of Healy. The girls from Mary Washington and the 400 debaters must have been impressed by our rural odor. It certainly was a fine time.
Letters To The Editor
Our Money: Where? To The Editor:
The recent letter sent to the parents of all undergraduates by Fr. Edward Bunn, S.J., prompts me to make a few observations.
Father Bunn notes that, while the cost of living has increased significantly over the past ten years, Georgetown's charge for room and board has remained at $1000 per year. He then states that a three year quarter million dollar operating deficit leaves the University with no alternative but to raise the cost of room and board.
Undoubtedly this matter has been thought upon and deliberated with due accord for its serious financial implications, both with respect to the University, which is undergoing a critical development stage in which every penny counts, and with respect to the parents and students who must eventually absorb the deficit. The increase is probably unavoidable.
And yet it would be interesting to know where $1100 a year, $4400 for the time spent at Georgetown, goes. A breakdown of total expenses would reassure me that the increase is inevitable. For example, how much money is spent in providing daily maid service? Perhaps the Gentleman of Georgetown would not be too averse to the idea of making his own bed three more days a week, and let the maids change linen one day, and mop that day and one other, especially if it might give him $100 per year to spend that he will not otherwise . have.
Do funds for maintenance of the grounds come from the operating budget? It seems to me that efficiency of operation might reduce the multitudinous army of leaf rakers and grass mowers and fertilizer spreaders and sidewalk sweepers without in any way detracting from the beauty of our campus. Another facet of University life that never ceases to amaze me is our well-staffed gendarmarie. Do operating funds for it come from our room and board? And, anyway, do they really need such a large corps?
It would also be interesting to learn the -University's intent in requiring all boarders to dine on-

i\ifn.· nub 1£rttrfn , by Don Colleton
What makes a university outstanding? Or better, what keeps a good university· from _ becoming outstanding? Educational facilities are not· expanding rapidly enough to accommodate the swollen lists of applicants, and as a result of highly selective admittance programs, our classrooms generally are occupied by talented students. If each of a score of universities had an equally gifted enrollment, it would seem that the university with the most responsible instructors and the wisest approach to the dissemination of knowledge would be recognized as outstanding.
It is knowledge that men seek, and men of the university seek it through the channels of ordered study. The word "men" is intended in its fullest sense. The intellectual approach of scholarly men acknowledges personal inadequacies and recognizes the necessity to strive constantly and earnestly· for understanding. The able educator assumes that the embryo of this disposition exists in his students.
There is today a certain psychology of instruction which is characteristic of those schools which never distinguish themselves, a psy· chology markedly absent in the schools which form the vanguard of higher education. Basically, this psychology will not admit that the college student is a man well on his way to intellectual maturity. Proceeding from this premise, it greatly discounts, to the serious detriment of the majority, the student's motivations for stUdying. Consequently, the policy of instruction settled upon only guarantees that assigned material has been "read" but not that it has been understood.
When a student determines to accomplish something well, he devotes all his powers towards its achievement; but if there is a compromise in this devotion, the end result is not fully realized. For ex· ample, he can read either for an understanding of ideas, in which case he is compelled to think deeply, or he can read for isolated facts, exercising only memory and power of recall. In the first case, he will later retain the broad concept of the work that is read. In the second case, when memory fades, the unrecalled fact is as useless as the effort originally expended to memorize it. It is granted that a certain degree of correlated factual knowledge is basic to the comprehension of ideas, but only a certain degree.
-.'
.,
.. The forward-looking colleges and universities have long since # 1
dropped methods of teaching and testing that are geared to "catch" ..... the student who is seeking the easiest way to a passing grade. The fine school sets its own standard and holds to it knowing that the student who cannot contend successfully with their program, either because of its academic rigors or because of a personal adolescent attitude, can be readily replaced by the thousands of young men waiting as stand-bys on the crowded steps of our colleges.

The Magic Lantern Murder She Said
Murder She Said, the current offeri~g at the MacArthur, is an extremely well done British comedy which employs mystery for its background. The mystery motif actually plays the part of scenery; the audience sees that it's there, realizes its purpose and then precinds from it in order to concern itself with ~hat it considers more important. But unlike scenery, the mystery in Murder unfortunately must also serve as a plot and as such it is decidedly underdeveloped and designedly undisclosed.
The plot centers around a murder which is committed on a train. It is seen by no one but ,Jane Marple (Margaret Rutherford), sitting demurely in her compartment in a passing train. A lover of mystery, she begins to snoop and discovers that the murdered woman was thrown from the train near the ancestral home of the Ackenthorpe family-Ackenthorpe Hall. Enthralled by the prospect of involving herself in one of her beloved mysteries turned real, she as-
BEA UTY AND THE BEAST . . • But which one is the real movie star?
sumes the position of housekeeper and ex officio shamus at the Hall and lets her bloodhound instinct run wild. She discovers the body concealed in a mummy case in one of the outbuildings and a pall of suspicion is lowered upon every member of the rather large and farflung family. After they are all assembled at the Hall, the audience finds that they are all equally suspect, but only Jane is able to recognize and trap the real murderer.
The immature style of the mystery, the large number of assembled suspects, as well as the Jane ex capite revelation are painfully reminiscent of the Charlie Chan era in American mystery films. To cover up these inadequacies of his plot the director is forced to employ cheap fright tricks such as falling lights etc. to mislead his audience as to the mystery's vapidity.
It is the skillful, comic performance of Margaret Rutherford and James Robertson Justice, the brilliant cinematography, enchanting music and touching little effects which uphold the film. They both conceal what the mystery lacks, and in addition portray a situation which although gruesome is perfectly delightful and amusingly English. The dry British wit, the swift conversational repartee, a love affair between octogenarians, the improbability of Margaret Rutherford as Jane Marple (Marple her name and marble her nature) all combine to make Murder a poignantly touching and highly amusing experience.-JOE DUNIGAN

Council Capers by Anon
We were shocked, because everything was awry. First off, it was the afternoon again and, as the Council dragged themselves to their chairs amidst the torn splendor of the Cherry Blossom, it was chaos meeting chaos. And if that were not enough, our star was missing. The freshman class was represented only by its Council rep and this week, its vice president-because our star had to study. This is more than a little galling to Us who are roused from our afternoon recreation by a whim of the freshman class. The evenings were not good enough for them so they uttered their first suggestion in five months, and we got afternoon meetings. And if that were not enough of a nuisance, one half of their team can't even attend the meeting. Abuse is heaped upon abuse! The frosh were supported in this silliness by the sophomores, whose president is said to have spent his afternoon "bicycle hiking." He does not let the work of 'government conflict with the beauties of a, spring day, but we must forsake the sun for Copley lounge. May we make so bold as to suggest that instead of running away from the problem, he and his freshman compatriot try to restore the meeting hour to the saner one which has served so well so long.

Calliope Production Of 'Greek' Comedy Heralded By Muse
by Dan Duff A bicycle-riding muse has
lately shown his face on a number of posters which have been thoroughly s cat t ere d across the GeorgetQwn University Campus. For the uninformed, the muse is a trademark of the Mask and Bauble's annual Calliope, a free-for-all play which manages to SUbmit everything to the level of comedy. This year's production, entitled "Show Me the Way to Go, Homer," will run ,for four performances from March 29-31.
The play, written and produced by Tony Hope, has a plot comparable to every Greek play rolled into one. Agathon, played by Tom Callahan, is a slave-type slave who escapes from his slave ship and heads for Athens to become a singer (like Homer). Unfortunately Agathon is captured by three thieves (one of whom is played by Dan Slattery) who make him impersonate Prince Radimar. In the meantime, however, the real Prince Radimar, played by Scott Clendaniel, masquerades as a gardener at the court of Lavinia (Wanda) Loch) and falls in love with her. Agathon, impersonating Prince Radimar, falls in love with Lavinia's handmaid, Angi, as played by "Boo" McTague. By the end of the show the complications have been worked out in true Shakespearean fashion.
One of the scenes is laid in the Spearmint Lounge where "the Lunge", a classical dance form created by the Vandals, is the rage. In another scene, John Paradine plays a physical cu1turist, Sunny Tanny, who runs his own gym with the motto "think slim with Sunny Tanny."
Wanda Loch, who played the leading female role in 'last year's "Down the Hatch," takes the lead role again this year. Scott Clendaniel, a singer with the Washington Opera Society, plays the male lead role. The female comic lead this year is played by "Boo" McTague, who played comic lead in last year's production. The male comic lead is played by freshman Tom Callahan, winner of the freshman talent show.
Mr. Donn Murphy is the director of the play. Bob Fremont wrote the lyrics, while musical matters will be directed by Mr. Donald W. Griffith, director of the Georgetown University Band. Costumes are by Sheila Hickey of the Nursing School and Frank Hefferen of the Foreign Service School. Jerry O'Berski is technical director in charge of sets and Ed Broyles, a member of the Hexagon Club and currently a leading player with the American Light Opera's Kiss Me, Kate, will choreograph this year's Calliope.
Reservations on tickets at $1.50 and $2.00 can be made by contacting the Mask and Bauble office in the Annex.

Law School Club Hears Goldwater On Red Menace
Barry Goldwater, Republican Senator from Arizona, addressed the Phi Delta Phi Society, a Law School club, in Gaston Hall last Thursday night. Senator Goldwater, as the author of Conscience oj a Conservative and the articulate leader of the "sane right" movement, is a leading object of speculation regarding the Republican Presidential nomination in 1964.
In his speech Senator Goldwater divided his attention between the communist threat and the resur-gence of conservatism on campuses throughout the country. He contended that the major controversies of contemporary political thought could be traced to the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945, when two schools of thought concerning the arms race first emerged.
One element said, "We must prevent it (the atomic bomb) from being used again;" while the opposing element stated that the United States "must develop it to defend our country." The former group, said Senator Goldwater, eventually degenerated into a philosophy of "better red than dead." He is thankful that the opposi-

man team. Georgetown's Philodemic Society won the fourman team trophy with a consistent showing throughout the tournament.
Of the fifty-five teams competing, eight two-man teams were chosen for the quarter-finals on the basis of their performance in eight preliminary rounds, many of which were "power-paired." The Philodemic team of John Brough and John Hempelmann entered the quarter-finals as the second best team, with an overall record of 8-0 and a point score of 335, which was surpassed only by Redlands of California with 345 points.
The Georgetown team, however, was defeated in this round by the Wayne State team. Final honors in this two-man team competition went to the Ohio State team of -Dale Williams and Edward McGlone. Georgetown's four-man entry of Brough, Terry Goggin, Hempelmann, and Richard Hayes was the eventual winner in the over-all team competition with a record of 12-4 and a total point score of 680. In addition, each of Georgetown's deb ate r s placed among the 15 "best individual speakers," with Hempelmann accumulating a total of 172 points and Brough 173.
Trophies were awarded to Redlands and Eastern Nazarene as semi-finalists in the two-man competition, while the second place trophy was awarded to the Wayne State team of David Getto and Ray Wilkes. Trophies for "best speaker" were shared by Redland's Richard Strong and Ohio State's Williams, both of whom accumulated 182 points. Placing second to Georgetown's four-man team was Dartmouth, also with a record of 12-4, but second to Georgetown in point score: 680-663.
Georgetown's strong showing in the Cherry Blossom was the first of two major goals the Philodemic Society has set for itself. According to Mike Lysaght, Philodemic president, the team is already preparing for the West Point Tournament, where the best teams from the entire country will compete.
MIRROR, MIRROR ... a futile question, for in Calliope III all are equally fair.
Cherry Blossom debaters stayed at the Marriott Motel. While they were in Washington they heard an address by the Hon. James Roosevelt, and many of them attended a Mardi Gras Ball put on by the sophomore class. The coaches of the various teams served as judges of the Cherry Blossom Tournament.

HEREABOUTS by Nye and Thomas
With the basketball season over for another year and the excite· ment of Colonel Glenn on the wane, the happy Hoya returns to the entertainment offered by Washington. Presently this consists of Romeo et Juliette and the Academy Award nomination films.
Theater It's that time of year again when Hollywood pats herself on the
back and announces the Academy Award nominations. As happens every year, nobody seems to agree with the selections that have been made. Everybody, wants to know why this picture, that director, this actor, that song, was or was not included. The controversy wages fast and furious until the night when the winners are announced and the Oscars given. Then everything is fine, except that by universal agree· ment, the .presentation show on television was worse than last year's -and last year's was pretty bad.
Joining in the guessing game, we have chosen probable winners in some of the more important and interesting categories. The most important award, or at least the one that is always anounced last, is that of best picture. Its announcement is usually anti·climatic because the best director award usually is given to the director of the best picture. This arrangement, unlike most of the things Hollywood does, makes sense and only seems logicaL
However, choosing the director and the picture is not always logical. Judgement at Nuremberg and its director, Stanley Kramer, look like the winners this year. Kramer has had many outstanding films in the past (The Defiant Ones and On the Beaeh are two) and he can't be ignored again. His picture is newly released and is still basking in the fresh publicity. A little controversy never hurt either. The picture will help the director, and the director will help the picture.
It would seem that the best actor would also be in the best pic· ture. This is not true in Hollywood. Spencer Tracy has been nominated for Judgement, but so has Maximillian Schell, who won the New York Film Critic's Award. If Tracy wins, how do you explain Schell? Schell himself has already lost, as it is a fact that the Critic Award winners never win Oscars. This leaves only Paul Newman among the remaining three nominees as a dark·horse winner.
Again this year, the field for the best actress award is the strongest and the hardest from which to pick a winner. Audrey Hepburn is the popular favorite, but acting in a comedy, such as Break· fast at Tiffany's was, is slow to bring honors. The winner should be Natalie Wood, who, besides recent heavy publicity, has West Side Story as well as the picture she was nominated for, Splendor in the Grass, to collect votes.
In the supporting roles it looks like Jackie Gleason and Judy Garland. Gleason has strong competition from Montgomery Clift and George C. Scott, but 1961 was the year of the "Great One," and he is too popular to lose. 1961 was also the year of the return of Judy Garland. She, like Gleason, has too much popularity to lose. Good though they both are, they may not be the best, but they will win.
"Moon River" from Breakfast at Tiffany's is the best song. The others are not even worth mentioning.
Music Aside from Romeo et Juliette, which is obviously the main at·
traction in Washington this month, there are other impressive en· gagements that should be noted. The Robert Shaw Chorale will per· form The St. John's Passion by J. S. Bach this Sunday in Constitution Hall at 3 :00. We feel that this would be a fine opportunity to hear this seldom played work, since the chorus will never be of any greater quality.
And on March 25, Leon Fleisher, whom Pierre Monteux described as the "pianistic find of the Century," will present a recital of works by Bach, Mozart, Liszt, Ravel and Kirchner. Fleisher has already made several appearances with top orchestras of the United States and abroad, and if we can take the success of these concerts as any indication of his solo work, we can expect a performance of unsur· passed value.

The elimination of checks on fourth-year men was first proposed in 1960 by Rev. John L. Ryan, S.J., then Director of Student PersonneL This autumn the possible abolition of checks was again submitted to the seniors, contingent on their behavior during the first semester.
A great deal of the credit for the attainment of the new permissions, Father Sellinger said, should go to the student officers who negotiated with the Administration in this matter. In particular he cited the Yard Officers and the senior class president. "All of the things you have gotten this year in the way of rule changes," the Dean said, "have come as a result of the reasoned presentations of your complaints and your requests by members of the Student Council."

Concerning U.S. foreign policy he said, "We should declare that we are going to win over communism, not in a material war except in small peripheral battles

around the world, but in war of ideologies. We, furthermore, are against only those governments infested with communism when the people of a country want to get rid of it."
Senator Goldwater chided people who have thought of communism as something that must be fought with money: "We should show people that we have become a great material nation by being a great spiritual nation."

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GOLDER The academic world, as we all know, is loaded with dignity and ethics, with lofty means and exalted ends, with truth and beauty. In such a world a heinous thing like faculty raiding-colleges enticing teachers away from other colleges-is not even thinkable.
However, if the dean of one college happens-purely by chance, mind you-to run into a professor from another college, and the professor happens to remark-just in passing, mind you -that he is discontented with his present position, why, what's wrong with the dean making the professor an offer? Like the other afternoon, for instance, Dean Sigafoos of Gransmire Polytech, finding himself in need of a refreshing cup of oolong, dropped in quite by chance at the Discontented Professors Exchange where he discovered Professor Stuneros from the English Department of Kroveny A and M sitting over a pot of lapsang soochong and shrieking "I Hate Kroveny A-and M!" Surely there was nothing improper in the dean saying to the professor, "Leander, perhaps you'd like to come over to us. I think you'll find our shop A-OK."
(It should be noted here that all English professors are named Leander, just as all psychics professors are named Fred. All sociology professors are, of course, named Myron, all veterinary medicine professors are named Rover, and all German professors are named Hansel and Gretel. All deans, are, of course, named Attila.)
But I digress. Leander, the professor, has just been offered a job by Attila, the dean, and he replies, "Thank you, but I don't think so."
"And I don't blame you," says Attila, stoutly. "I understand Kroveny has a fine little library."
"Well, it's not too bad," says Leander. "We have 28 volumes in all, including a mint copy of Nancy Drew, Girl Detective."
"Very impressive," says Attlia. "Us now, we have 36 million volumes, including all of Shakespeare's first folios and the Dead Sea Scrolls."
"Golly whiskers," says Leander. "But of course," says Attila, "you don't want to leave
Kroveny where, I am told, working conditions are tickety-boo." "Oh, they're not too bad," says Leander. "I teach 18 hours
of English, 11 hours of optometry, 6 hours of forestry, coach the fencing team, and walk Prexy's cat twice a day."
"A full, rich life," says Attila. "At our school you'd be somewhat less active. You'd teach one class a week, limited to four A students. As to salary, you'd start at $50,000 a year, with retirement at full pay upon reaching age 29."
~ I VIill frexy~ C41lfwtct!1 ddt, I "Sir," says Leander, "your offer is most fair but you must
understand that lowe a certain loyalty to Kroveny." "I not only understand, I applaud," says Attila. "But before
you make a final decision, let me tell you one thing more. We supply Marlboro cigarettes to our faculty-all you want at all times."
"Gloryosky!" cries Leander, bounding to his feet. "You mean Marlboro, the filter cigarette with the unfiltered tasteMarlboro, the cigarette with better makin's-Marlboro that comes to you in pack or box-Marlboro that gives you such a lot to like?"
"Yep," says Attila, "that's the Marlboro I mean." "I am yours," cries Leander, wringing the Dean's hand.
"Where do I sign?" "At the quarry," replies Attila. "Frankly, we don't ·trust
paper contracts any more. We chisel them in marble."

l\rtn att~ 11lrttrrn by Bob Nye
Romeo et Juliette Hector Berlioz, the great French Romantic composer, in 1838
composed of Romeo et Juliette, which is presently experiencing a widespread revival. Charles Munch came out with a superb recording of it a few years back, and since then, many orchestras and choral so'cieties have been resurrecting it with varying degrees of success.
Berlioz has considerably shortened Shakespeare's work; it has been pruned to the bare essentials of dramatic action. His libretto by Emile Deschamps commences with the chorus and contralto singing a rather kaleidoscopic view of the action.
Since the work is symphonic, it was logical to begin with an orchestral (fugued) introduction in the middle of which there is a solo for tenor trombones which is marked with the character of a recitative, a type of declamatory singing, free in rhythm and tempo. We are thus prepared for the Prologue, the first vocal section, in which the contralto and chorus sing the subject of the drama-the feud of the two families and the star-crossed love of their offspring. The very brief quasi-recitative leads to the instrumental statement of several of the later themes-sadness, revelry, and finally, to the love theme. The solo voice then sings of young love in strophe and antistrophe. The small chorus resumes with a few words on Romeo, Mercutio and Queen Mab, who forms the subject of the scherzetto: it is Mab who lends the comic-fantastic element to the tragedy.
From this point, we can go on to speak of music and drama as one, in keeping with Berlioz' interviewing of their formal requirements. The symphonic Part Two takes Romeo through the contrasting

Mr. Rostand Mvie, Charge d' Affaires at the Cameroonian Embassy to the United States, delivered an address entitled "New Nations of Africa" last Thursday evening in the Multi-Lingual Room of the S<.:hool of Foreign Service. The program, presented by the Association of American and African Students, was comprised of a lecture, a question-and-answer session, and a brief film.

Campus. For it seems to me that, in the present state of affairs, a reduction in the number of diners could actually result in a significant saving. Even if only one hundred students elected to eat off-Campus, $44,800 (to quote the given figures) for just lunch and dinner, five days a week, would be saved. While this represents a loss of income, there is also the reduced outgo, and I wonder if the reduction might not overbalance the loss.
In closing, I would like to add that, while the charge for room and board at Georgetown has remained steady for ten years, actual room and board services have changed. For instance, tables are no longer waited on, as I seem to recall from earlier brochures on Campus life. These changes have not been for the worse, and I think other changes need not be reflected in a lessening of esential services, but could very well lead to a reduction in the cost of room and board from $1100, or at least hold it static at this amount for some time into the future.
In any case, might we find out where our money is going?

your military service will be a stimulating and rewarding experience. You will enjoy the pay, the prestige, the traditional privileges of an officer ...
your military service can payoff handsomely in later life. For example, ROTC can be tremendously helpful when a man starts his climb up the civilian ladder. Success in the executive areas of business and industry comes earlier and more substantially to the man who can lead. Few are born leaders; but leadership can be learned. And Advanced ROTC is a great place to learn it ...
you will be contributing to the limit of your potentialities in one of the biggest jobs we face today ... you can help keep America so strong the war the whole world dreads need never happen.
During your 2-year Advanced Army ROTC course, there will be a subsistence allowance of $535. Uniforms and military textbooks are paid for. There is a $117 allowance for your six-week summer camp training, plus travel allowance. And when you're commissioned, a $300 uniform allowance.
And then, of course, there is the warm sense of accomplishment you will feel in June 1963 when the gold bars of a Second Lieutenant are pinned on your Army uniform.

Ireland's Patron· Topic Of Lecture By Fr. McNally
REV. ROBERT E. McNALLY, S.J.
Rev. Robert E. McNally, S.J., Professor of Church History at Woodstock College, and currently Guest Professor of the History of Christianity at George Washington University will lecture on "St. Patrick and some problems in Early Irish Culture," on Thursday, March 15, at 7 o'clock in New South Lounge.
Father McNally will take up the problem of the historical character of St. Patrick, the emergence of his personality in the historical records of old Ireland, his place in fifth century Christianity, and the concept of St. Patrick in the old Irish legends. "Apart from the sanctity of the man himself," said Father McNally, "the greatest single tribute to this ancient saint is his courage in opening a new, fruitful frontier to the Church at the very moment that the Roman Empire was retreating from the British Isles and northern Europe. He was truly a pioneer, a frontiersman of culture."

O .. alExallls At a faculty meeting last Thurs
day, Fr. Joseph A. Sellinger, S.J., Dean of the College, announced a new ruling revising Georgetown's program of oral examinations.
The new requirements on philosophy orals shape up as follows:
1) The new ruling applies only -to juniors and seniors; no sophomores take oral examinations, except those in the Honors Program.
2) All Honors Program students and philosophy majors take orals in their junior and senior years.
3) Students with an average of B or better are required to take orals.
4) Students with an average between Band C may request to take an oral.
5) Students with a C or D average may not take an oral.
The Dean anticipates that any ambiguities in the ruling will have been cleared up in the course of this week, and that these clarifications will be posted on the bulletin board in White-Graven or.
While philosophy 0 r a 1 s will be thus restricted, Father Sellinger reported in an interview that "In order to .preserve the tradition of oral examinations ... we will require that every department outside the Philosophy Department have oral examinations for their majors."
The new ruling on philosophy orals is the result of proposals made and passed by the Philosophy Department on February 28, 1961, passed by the Executive Faculty of the College in November, and approved with some modification by the Board of Directors.
The Dean added that the thesis method would definitely remain in effect this year, and that any change in the length of the examination would be posted on his bulletin board. The form which oral examinations will take in the other departments, for majoring stu-
. dents, will be determined by the respective departments.

by Lambe1·t Sp1'onclc The junior Senator from South Carolina took a long, hard look
at the Under Secretary of State, George W. Ball. "You've known for some time that you would appear here," Senator Strom Thurmond said, losing for an instant his Southern composure. "Why didn't you prepare yourself to give us answers?"
The Under Secretary had not gotten around to doing his homework. He could find "only twenty-four hours in a day." For this reason he refused to offer the Senate Special Preparedness Subcommittee explanations for the censorship of a number of speeches made by military personnel. The spectators in Room 318 of the Old Senate Building could sense the Senator's satisfaction with Mr. Ball's lame reply. Senator Thurmond ended his alloted time of questioning by remarking casually, "I see no use in wasting time."
Under Secretary Ball had scored his most telling points in his prepared statement. He questioned whether such terminology as "no win" foreign policy reflected a mature appraisal of the realities of today's world. Heads nodded when he declared, "The cold war is not an adult game of cops and robbers."
The deeper issue raised by the Thurmond-Ball exchange is this: "To what extent must freedom of speech sub serve the broader designs of free-world strategists? Mr. Ball argues from complexity. The complexity of our military, political, economic, cultural, moral, and ideological struggle with communism necessitates censorship. Military leaders, he maintains, are trained in but one area of leadership. When they step outside their area of competence and talk foreign policy, they may subvert the best laid plans of John Kennedy, Dean Rusk, and Adlai Stevenson.
Senator Thurmond argues from simplicity. The Senator from South Carolina sees us pitted in a struggle which can only result in either total victory or total defeat. He reminds us of Nikolai Lenin's pronouncement that communism and democracy cannot exist side by side. "Inevitably," argues Lenin, "one must perish." This is the harsh reality of the cold war which, Senator Thurmond maintains, censors in the Kennedy administration are blurring for the American people. By "gagging" the military, who live this struggle everyday, these censors take the teeth out of our defense posture and undercut military morale.
Senator J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) takes sharp issue with his Southern colleague. He characterizes extremists on the right as " 'soft,' not on communism, but 'soft' in judgment and 'soft' in their prescriptions for what we must do to meet the communist challenge." Senator Fulbright, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, envisions along with President Kennedy a "long twilight struggle ahead." He recognizes the "great mass appeal" of simple solutions during such a period. He calls for their rejection. He speaks of "patience, discipline, and sustained effort."
Senator Fulbright scores certain military officers for diverting the people's attention from the complexities of the struggle abroad and encouraging them instead to hunt traitors at home. This conviction prompted him last July to write his famous memorandum "On Propaganda Activities of Military Personnel," which triggered the Senate Special Preparedness hearing now under way in Room 318 of the Old Senate Office Building.
As finally published in the Congressional Record of August 2, (Continued on page 8)
Arts and Letters (Continued from page 5) moods of lonely sadness and of indifference to the gaiety of the concert and ball, which the "chef des Capulets" is giving. Berlioz next provides a brief choral interlude which introduces the adagio love scene: the male Capulets sing as they leave the festive dance.
The "scene d'amour" unfolds its tragic passion instrumentally "because this is a symphony and not an opera." It is also proof that Berlioz could pour out his heart and use his skill more intensely, more completely with only the orchestra. The instrumental idiom is a much less limited language, and is by its unliteralness infinitely more powerful.
Likewise, the ensuing scherzo which stands for Queen Mab suggests lightness and free fancy without in the least following Mercutio's speech, which is full of concrete images. We now pass to Juliette's funeral, which is scored for orchestra with a psalmody (single repeated note) in the chorus (Jettez aes fleurs pour La vierge expiree!) and continues until the midpoint, at which time the orchestra plays the psalmody and the chorus of Capulets sings the dirge.
After the funeral march comes a short instrumental scena which recalls earlier motives, and marks, with the end of purely instrumental music, the end of the tragedy itself. Berlioz' sense of symmetry makes him introduce here the songlike invocation for woodwinds which balance the trombone recitative in the very first section of the score. The scena ends pianissimo on the disintegrated fragments of the love theme.
The vocal finale of the Capulets and Montagues thus stands outside the main action, again in balance with the Introduction and Prologue. Its design is that of a gradual crescendo, which incidentally served as the model for Wagner's practice in Tannhause1·. First we hear a recall of the feud theme: the outraged families wrangle vocally over the corpses of the lovers. But soon the voice of Friar Laurance recites what has happened and entreats the clans to make peace. He proposes the oath of reconciliation in the "Air" which follows his recitative, and as he pleads, first the Montagues and then the Capulets join in majestic phrases that slowly cause the vengeful hearts to expand; a threatening figure in the lower strings keeps taunting them with tragedy until their voices overwhelm it in a song expressive of the gladdened will at peace with men. The music drama is concluded.
It seems correct that such a great work as Romeo et Juliette should not be subjected only to an objective discussion as it is in the body of the article_ For example, from the title of the score, one might quite naturally expect that Romeo and Juliette would have vocal'parts. And yet it seems perfectly obvious that Berlioz intended that there be no vocal setting for them. Since Romeo is the most important figure in both the drama and symphony, Berlioz did not want to be tied down by the weight of describing him in purely vocal terms. The orchestra sings the roles of Romeo and Juliette. And by describing them in this way, the -imagination of the listener is left relatively free and can draw its own impressions. And Berlioz realized the effectiveness of such action because he left the love scene entirely free of vocal impedimenta. Love cannot be drawn concretely in music; if it is, it is destroyed.

Magic Lantern (Continued from page 3)
The Outsider In The Outsider it seems that Tony Curtis is priming himself for
the Big Part, wherever it may be. The story of Ira Hayes, the Indian who helped raise the flag at Iwo Jima, is a natural proving ground for individual performance, which seems to be just what Curtis wants. The hero is more or less alone in his story, distinguished only by the events which conspired to make his life notable. His uninteresting background brings forth no other characters to steal the spotlight. Thus, all attention is on the central characto.lr, and Curtis can try himself to his heart's content.
As Ira Hayes, he plays a Pima Indian boy from a reservation in Arizona, who joins the Marines and has a difficult time being accepted by his fellow soldiers. His only friend is killed at Iwo Jima, just as Hayes is recalled to Washington to campaign for a war bond issue. Sorrow and feelings of undeserved fame drive him to drink, until, disgraced before the Marines and his own people, he dies in drunken exposure on a mountaintop near his home.
The script allows Curtis to try his hand at emoting in every way he can think of. Although he goes through his exercises with promising facility, it is hard to avoid the thought that he wanted to try each one just once more for the record. As a result, his total performance is overdone. There is never a letup in his dogged pursuance of goosepimples_
It is conceivable that, given an outstanding script and a good director, Tony Curtis could come up with an exceptional portrayal. As far as The Outsider is concerned, it is an outside possibility. Too much of its effect depends on melodrama, and the little vignettes of life on an Indian reservation are almost unbearable. It is, as well, a cheaply made film, which makes no effort to cover up little necessities like stunt men and stand-ins. The main concern is with Ira Hayes, and one is inclined to agree with the poor fellow that it isn't really worth all the trouble.-BILL SINGER

but we were shortly relieved. It was a dull show in comparison to last week's catastrophe, but things livened up when the chairman informed us in outraged and no uncertain terms, that we HOY A people were egregiously in error in our column last week, and that he had, in fact, consistently and repeatedly told the sophomores that they were remiss in their form filing. We were duly chastised, but, somewhat blushingly, we can only say that we reported what we saw at the meeting.
We were apprised, by an unusually brisk treasurer, that our (or is is?) always going, never flowing, vaguely showing bulletin board has been finally, completely, and forever and ever approved. It cannot be built by cheap student labor, since the carpenter's shop would not be opened to him, and consequently the Council must pay a seller's price. This did not faze our boys who were told that "price is no object-"
We were saddened to learn that the IRC can apparently not afford to have gone to Montreal four weeks ago since outstanding bills from this excursion find no one to pay them. This added to political problems on the home front proved too much for the IRC, as he too was missing.
As we were about to run from the chamber with mixed emotions of rage and despair, what should appear but a moment of sanityand from the freshmen at that. The villain who started the ball rolling on afternoon meetings withdrew his motion and left it up to the Yard to make the final decision. In turn the President promised to take an informal poll-then took it-we voted-then promised to take another poll at the close of the meeting-then closed the meeting.
We have, you may note, been indulging in personalities. This is necessitated by the total lack of issues, which is the result of a lack of persons, which, it is our impression, results again from the hour. Afternoons may be conducive to polo games, siestas, teas, and if all else fails, study, but certainly not to Student Council meetings. If proof be needed for this assertion, we offer for your consideration the last two meetings of the body in question. We refuse to have anything more to do with them (the afternoon meetings that is).

Jk\u~ lJiJ\1®lttO® A good sword nowadays is hard to find-and in olden times, too. Many a feudal lord saw it pointless to joust with a faulty halberd, and for worthy steel alone the Visigoths sacked Rome.
Today, centuries later, the search for stronger steels goes on. And among those making most dramatic strides in advancing the state of the metallurgical art are the research teams at Ford's Scientific Laboratory in De?lrborn, Michigan.
In exploring the "world of microstructure," these scientists, using methods of extreme sophistication, have been able to look at iron and steel on a nearatomic scale. They have discovered secrets of nature leading to new processing techniques which yield steels of ultra-high strength unknown a decade ago.
The promise of such techniques seems limitless. As man develops the needs and means to travel more swiftly on earth and over interplanetary reacheswherever economy of weight and space is required-strength of physical materials will become paramount. This is another example of how Ford is gaining leadership through scientific research and engineering.

Council Coffers Spread Largesse To Campus Poor
The Student Council announced toward the beginning of the year that they had a surplus of money which would be available for clubs and organizations of the College that could not get money from the University for specific projects. To date, $175 has been given to the Band for a trip to New York, and $25 to the Bridge Club for the expenses of a tournament at Maryland University. The total amount of money available is somewhere in the area of $1000 to $1500.
Dave Meeker, Treasurer of the Yard, emphasized that there must be evidence of need, of the worth of the project for which the money is required, as well as the assurance that the money is to be used in the best interest of the student body as a whole. The procedure for obtaining funds is to have an officer of the organization present his plea before the Student Council, which will then discuss the matter and vote on it, considering the three criteria listed above.
Only two requests for money have been entered so far, and both have been granted. Several other organizations have made it known informally to one or another Student Council member that they are eager to secure such aid, but no money is to be awarded without a formal request by the organization to the Student Council convened.
McNally (Continued from page 5)
Father McNally, who holds an AB ('42) from Georgetown and a STL ('50) from Woodstock College, also attended the famous medieval seminary at Munich University, where he received his doctorate in 1955. He is author of various studies on the history of the Bible and biblical commentaries of the Middle Ages, which have appeared in Traditio, Medieval Studies, Theological Studies, and elsewhere.
Father McNally is currently engaged on a vast research project, supported by The American Council of Learned Societies, which is to encompass the history of medieval biblical exegesis. He is also co-editor of Traditio, the wellknown American journal of medieval studies, secretary of the Patristic Academy of America, and a member of the Executive Council of the Catholic Historical Association.
Father McNally has lectured on Irish art, history and literature at the Medieval Club of New York (Columbia Univ_), Loyola College (Baltimore, Md.), Providence College, Fordham University, and before various learned societies.
The lecture next Thursday night will be open to the public, and is being sponsored by the sophomore class. At present, Father McNally is also conducting a sophomore seminar course in moral theology here at Georgetown.

1961, the memorandum recommends: 1) re-examination of the military's role in propaganda activities; 2) the formulation of directives which bring such military activities under civilian control; 3) increased civilian control over the National War College; and 4) elimination of certain "particularly aggressive" views of the National War College.
Senator Thurmond feels that we can never be "too aggressive" in our struggle with the Soviet Union. He assails Senator Fulbright's memorandum for giving "the general impression that the people could not be trusted to determine properly the country's course in the cold war."
Senator Fulbright feels that the American people "have never really been tested" in the type of struggle we confront today. He cautions the American people against "a single-factor approach to world politics," whether that single factor be tough talk by military leaders or Congressional investigation of traitors at home. Neither, he feels, will defeat communism.
Caught somewhere in the crossfire between Senator Thurmond and Senator Fulbright is· the American Public. It must determine where freedom of speech for the military ends and responsibility for the global designs of the State Department begins.

dent at the American missionary schools and later graduated from the Ecole Superior in the Cameroons. He studied for a time in France, while performing diplomatic functions in both France and Germany. Upon his return to the Cameroons, he spent five years as director of foreign affairs and some time as a judge. Mr. Mvie organized the Department of Foreign Affairs of Cameroons after its independence in 1960.
Mr. Mvie lecture was mainly a description of the politico-economic status of the Cameroons as an individual nation. He explained that agricultural products and raw materials provided the main exports of the Cameroons, and although incipient industry was promising, it now played no vital role in the nation. In foreign affairs, he stressed the controversy between Nigeria and Cameroons over some one-time territory of his nation. The program concluded ·with a tenminute movie describing the independence of the Cameroons.

millionaire proprietor of Tarleton's Underwear. Tarleton has read a bit of everything, and is wont to quote it when an analogical occasion presents itself. The play shows his gradual disillusionment with the naivete of his daughter. When he is trying to impress Lord Summerhays (Kendall Clark), Bentley's father, he scores a comic triumph with the flamboyant: "The only truth is paradox, read Chesterton." When he discovers that nothing is as it appears with his daughter, he shout's "I'll read King Lear."

Hypatia's only too proximate occasion of sin, is Joey Percival, (Robert Quarry), who, rather improbably but nevertheless delightfully, manages to crash his aeroplane into the Tarleton's summerhouse at the end of Act 1. The crash also produces Lina (Jean LeBoivier), a Polish lady with an unpronounceable last name and a foresworn duty to do something dangerous every day of her life. What could possibly be more dangerous than marching blindly into the first act of a Shavian comedy?
The three soloists for this performance will be Lili Chookasian, contralto, John McCollum, tenor, and Donald Gramm, bass, as the Nurse, Mercutio, and Friar Laurence, respectively. Miss Chookasian is a singer of .great promise who will make her Metropolitan Opera Debut later this month. Mr. McCollum and Mr. Gramm have considerable experience in their assignments, having performed and recorded the work with Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony, and Mr. Gramm is also familiar to Washington audiences from performances with the Opera Society here. Later this month the Mary Washington Chorus under their director, Mr. George Luntz, will also appear on the Sunday night concerts at the National Gallery of Art on March 25.
Another uninvited guest is a mysterious gunman (Alan Oppenheimer) who turns up, quite literally, in a Turkish bath, armed and determined to kill off the play's under-bred, over-read hero. His motive is a deep dark wrong committed against the gunner's mother by Tarleton. Through a superabundance of quotes and a generous helping of pound notes, Tarleton manages to forestall his would-be assailant only to discover that the man knows much, too much about Patsy, Joey and a certain field of heather.
It would be cruel to give away the climax, except to say that, as has been probably guessed, it aU comes off well, with a great deal of fortitude shown by all of the women. If Shaw's men are generally a passle of fools, in this play his women can not be too highly appreciated.
The whole play is beautifully set in the Tarleton conservatory, a perfect replica of blowsy Edwardian elegance. The director, Warren Enters, always maintains a strict control of his people. Some seemed to have responded better than others, probably because it is inevitable with Shaw that the only skill required of some of his characters is rhetorical and their deepest problems merely concern Women's Rights, Anti-vivisectionism, or the extent of mismanagement in Indja.
UPARENTS' WEEKEND"
As for the Glee Club, this is certainly the high point of a season which has seen the club and its director, Mr. Paul Chandler Hume, music critic for the Washington Post, in more extensive activity than ever before. "One of the most enjoyable features of this year," said Glee Cluj:> president Bill Joos, "is our renewed contact, for Romeo et Juliette, with the Mary Washington Chorus, with whom we sang two years ago, and with whom we have always had a most pleasant and pro~ductive working relationship."
Peace Corps (Continued from page 1)
The administrative organization of the consortium will be complete when the policy board's selection committee has made its choice for a Director, who, with the assistance of a secretarial staff and administrative assistant, will serve as co-ordinator and programmer for the summer courses.
Various Projects The Director wiII contact each
member school, through its board member, to notify it of the nature of projects assigned to the consortium. Presently the Corps is planning to submit nine .projects to the consortium, including training 35 nurses for Tanganyika; 45 teachers, agriculturists, and mechanics for Ceylon; and 300 assorted workers for Ethiopia.
GU Med. Courses Each university will inform the
Director of what it can contribute to the program-for example, for the Ethiopia project, Georgetown would offer m e d i c a I courses, Howard would offer Swahili, U. of Maryland agriculture and athletics, American would give courses in American studies, etc. And the trainees will be housed on the various campuses.
BREAKING THE ICE FOR DAD. When Dad comes to visit, help him bridge the years with questions like this: "These old ivy-covered buildings never change, do they?" "Say, aren't those girls the cat's meow?" "Dad, do you remember how great Cigarettes used to taste?" Then inform your Dad that college students still smoke more Luckies than any other regular_ He will realize that times haven't really changed. He'll be in such good, youthful spirits that he'll buy you a carton.
The new program is unique, not only for Peace Corps officials, who see great hope in its results, but also for the nation's educators, as there are very few instances of several universities pooling their educational resources. In both circles, the summer's consortium will be observed with interest, and if found successful here, the Corps plans to extend it to other parts of the country.
No Profit As for the consortium's prospects
of success, in the opinion of Father Dunne "There is no reason why the un i ve r sit i e s can't cooperate smoothly, since we're not profiting financially by the experiment, and since we're all interested in the same thing-helping, as far as we can, underdeveloped countries, and projecting the image of the idealistic American."

~--~;;------;;;-----:;;-=--~--=-:--;--~----;;~~;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;~;;;;;;;;;;~" . Hoyas Topple St. Pet¢r's; Fall Short Against LaSalle
by Michael Maher Last Saturday night in Mc
Donough Memorial Gymnasium, the Georgetown basketball team proudly brought the curtain down on the most successful Hoya basketball season since 1953 by routing St. Peter's of Jersey City, 100-68.
After a shaky start, the Hoyas came on strong midway through the first half to erase a 5 point St. Peter's lead. Jim Carrino, Bob Sharpenter, Paul Tagliabue, and Vince Wolfington scored repeatedly on outside jump shots over the St. Pete's zone defense to give the Blue and Gray a 7 point halftime lead over the scrappy visitors from Jersey.
Seniors Retire The second half then proved to
be a mere formality as far as the outcome of the game was concerned. By midway through the fourth quarter, all the departing seniors had played their final minutes in the Georgetown uniform and were now watching their sophomore and junior understudies begin to take their place.
Jim Carrino, the game's high scorer with 25 points, became the fifth highest scorer in Georgetown basketball history with his 21st point of the evening. Jay Force came back for one final taste in the last minute when he replaced the injured Jim Christy and, at the same time, satisfied the howling Hoya fans by dropping in the evening's 99th and 100th points for Georgetown. John Kraljic once again loosened up the defense with several hard driving layups and two uncanny passes. Tom "Terry" O'Dea, definitely the sleeper of the evening, contributed 13 quick points, mostly on the "Judge Special", a long jumper.

Explorers Slip By GU In rinal rive Seconds
by Bill Hodgman Last Wednesday night La Salle snatched a 78-76 vic
tory over Georgetown on the last-second heroics of Bob McAteer. The six-foot senior, who scored almost at will throughout the game, made a driving lay-up over three Hoya players with two seconds left in the contest.

ly before he probably would have become the fourth highest single season scorer in Georgetown's history; he missed this mark by a single point. Dan Slattery did not suit up for the finale due to illness, but his value to Hoya basketball was determined quite a while ago. Paul Tagliabue, the team captain, played a typical Tag game, always aggressive and accurate more often than not. Last alphabetically, but certainly not last in value, is Vince Wolfington, who came on magnificently in the last three games and, as the only nonscholarship member of the squad, perhaps deserves more credit than anyone.
So, farewell to the seniors of the 1962 basketball squad. They have left a legacy at Georgetown, both on and off the court, which won't be equalled for quite some time.
16 points, including six jump shots in a row. McAteer and his Explorer teammates were stone cold in the unfamiliar surroundings of McDonough Gymnasium, but their rebounding strength and a lax Hoya defense allowed them to stay close.
Georgetown switched to a zone defense to start the second half, but LaSalle solved it immediately. 6'8" Walt Samson dominated the backboards 'and McAteer made three buckets in a row as the Explorers led 59-54. But Christy, Jim Carrino, and Vince W olfington led a Georgetown resurgence which tied the score at 72-all with four minutes left to play. Then the Hoyas missed good opportunities :for one-and-one free throws and tip-ins, and when McAteer had the ball at mid-court with twenty-five seconds to play and the score deadlocked at 76-all, the crowd sensed that it was all over. It was.

At this time we feel that it is fitting to take one last· look at basketbalL A quick glance at the 14-9 record reveals that the Hoyas haven't been better since 1953. The opponents __ were tough this year but, as Coach O'Keefe promised, next .. year's schedule will make this season's seem mild.
The work done by the '61-'62 Hoyas has laid the foundation for what we hope will be the brightest year in Hilltop basket- r ball. The frosh give every indication of providing excellent support • for the returning lettermen.
The features of next year's schedule are simple: length and • strength. Three teams were dropped while six were added to bring the total to 26 games, 13 on the road and 13 at home. Fairleigh-Dickenson, Mount St. Marys, and St. Peters are gone, and they have been replaced ~ by Army, Holy Cross, Lafayette (old friends), Loyola of New Orleans, Rutgers, and Syracuse. Need we say that the Hoyas will be quite a • bit busier next year? •
By the way, if you should happen to be roaming around the Midwest over the Christmas vacation you might stop in Detroit for • the Motor City Tournament, one of the top Holiday tourneys in the nation. You're sure to see familiar faces, because the boys in the· trading department have swapped the Richmond Invitational for this • one.
This schedule also includes the finest selection of home games that the Hilltop has seen in quite a while. There is no doubt that Hoya • fans will witness many good games next year, and that the players will have their work cut out for them.

soccer coach Jack Galloway has announced that tryouts and practice ~ ~ will be held on the Lower Field beginning Monday, March 12. All can· didates, especially those with big feet and agile heads, should report at 3 :30 p.m. on the appointed day. The only requirements are a • sweat suit, sneakers, and a burning desire to run and kick (or kick and run, whichever is more advantageous).
Mr. Galloway was heard to say, "I encourage any interested freshman, sophomore, or junior, even if he has no previous soccer experience, to come out for these workouts." He is trying to build • up a better intercollegiate program through a wider undergraduate participation in the sport. For those who like a "man's game," we point out that soccer is one of the few contact sports on Campus.

The outlook is one of optimism'" ~ and, with twenty sophomores up ~ from last year's fine freshman e;:; squad to go with eleven lettermen, • Hoya baseball fortunes should show an upward trend for the next few seasons. Catcher Jim Schwab leads , the returning veterans and Mike Marchetti and Cliff Theiss were ... cited for their importance.

CHICANE by Matt Sekella ,
The model' year of 1962 will be remembered for a number of reasons. It will be fondly recalled as the year of the sports car influence in Detroit. The year that the horsepower race resumed in full swing. And, most of all, 1962 will be remembered as the year Americans. started
, building a little common sense into their cars. The addition of dual-brake systems by two manufacturers is a milestone in safety. Seat belt brackets (unfortunately not belts themselves) are now required on all production cars, which is a step in the right direction. Then there is the matter of the four-speed transmission, optional on almost everybody's cars, which has been in need for years. Of course, all of the above advances have been standard on European cars since the War. Perhaps this signifies the beginning of adoption of proven features by Detroit. We have our hopes up on this one. Adding safety and reasonable performance to our cars need not add two cents to their price. If u. S. manufacturers wish to recapture their lost market, they will have to offer better competition. They are on the right track, let's hope they stay with it.
The Volatile Volvo The little Swedish "bomb" called Volvo and its amazing com
petition record has always fascinated us, so last Saturday we visited Stewart Motors and took a close look.
The model designation, PV-544, is the only unexciting part of the car. Bearing a body style resembling a cross between a '47 Ford and an XK-E, the 544 is the best example of superb automotive engineering on the road today. The finish (both inside and out), solidness of construction, and mechanical perfection, are almost unbelieveable. For example, every Volvo is dipped in rustproofing, and given seven coats of enamel. The Gothenburg firm goes so far as to use hub caps of a brass-steel construction to preserve their finish.
But the proof of any car is on the road and the 544 is a delight to drive. Everything is within easy reach from the comfortable front seat. Even the rear seat is roomy. The power-plant, now up to a full 90 HP with plenty of torque, sends the Volvo to 50 MPH in 10 seconds. The four-speed transmission is as smooth as silk and a joy to use. Handling and brakes are up to competition standards so they should be more than adequate in normal use. The best part of the ride, though, was the price: $2300 delivered. Say what you like, for the money, Volvo is the best performance and quality package on the market today.
From Here & There · .. Veteran driver "Fireball" Roberts picked up a hard fought win at the Daytona Tri-Oval in a '62 Pontiac. Roberts' car was powered by the brand new 421 cu.in. V -8. Thirty-five seconds behind came Bob Petty in his 413 cu.in. Plymouth, finishing better than any other Plymouth in our memory. · .. For the second year in a row, Dan Gurney took first place in the Nassau Trophy Race. A team driver for Porsche in the warmer months, the racing Californian also drove a Ford' at the Daytona. · . . Chevrolet Division has just released plans to fit a Corvette V-8 in the Chevy II compact. Although a little nose-heavy, it blasts 0 to 60 in 6.8 seconds and handles well. · . . Pontiac engineering has a new experimental car running around the proving ground. Called the Tempest Monte Carlo, the roadster is powered with a 250 HP engine. Very sharp looking. · .. Participating in the Compact race at Daytona Beach this year was a Tempest Le Mans with a huge 421 cu.in. V -8 under the hood. After giving the Jaguar sedans the surprise of their lives, unfortunately, the car succumbe!l to the frequent Tempest competition trouble: the transmission broke. However the potential of this car is endless.
So, on this final note we leave until next month: Remember, all it takes is one mistake to cause an accident. Don't you make that mistake.
Varsity Trackmen Finish Fourth In New York's K of C Relays
by Rory Quirk Georgetown's indoor track
team returned from the K of C Meet at Madison Square Garden last Saturday with fourth places in both the mile and two-mile relays.
In the mile relay, GU was placed in the fastest heat against the finest teams in the country. The Hoya contingent of Jack Ubhaus, Leo Chausse, Roger Caruso and John Butler finished in 3 :21.8 behind NYU, Villanova, and Holy Cross. The Violets' winning time was 3:18.4.
GU and Fordham represented the United States in the International Two-Mile Relay against entries from Canada and Ireland. Fordham took the event in a blistering 7 :34.0, with Canada a close second. Georgetown, with Jim Tucker, Charlie McGovern, Ed Schmitt and John Reilly running, pressed the Irish team all the way, before losing by a step at the tape. Georgetown's time was a slow 7:40.0. The Hoyas were not at full strength, however, as both McGovern and Reilly had been sick prior to the meet and their times suffered as a result.
Coach Steve Benedek is now in the process of priming his runners for the season-ending IC4A meet in New York this Saturday. Bene
'dek plans to enter John Reilly and Jay Van Brunt in the mile run and
hopes to pick up points in this event. The same mile relay team that ran in the K of C Meet will be entered and Dick Camuso will replace Reilly on the two-mile team. GU will also enter a freshman medley relay team of Dick McCahon (880), Charlie Accettola (440), John DeCourcey (220) and Joe Lynch (mile). Benedek sees Villanova as the winner with the Hoyas either fourth or fifth.
In evaluating the season, Benedek noted that, in comparing this year's times with those of 1960-61, it has been a most successful one, and he feels track is rising rapidly here on the Hilltop.

Frosh T()p~'tags In Tough Contest As Barry Stars
Georgetown's baby Hoyas (16-2) downed District leader DeMath~'
High (1,7-2) in a 78-77 squeake,r, Wednesday, February 28. John Austin, DeMatha's, b~ckcourt ace and District scoring leader, scored' 32 points to share 'game scoring honors with Georgetown's Jim Barry.
Page Eleven
In a close first half, DeMatha scored first and held a slim lead until Barry's jumper gave the frosh a 24-23 edge. Three drives by John Prendergast and a tap-in by Tom Cradock made it 32-23, but the visitors rallied to tie at 35 and again at 37. Joe Franz's jumper at the buzzer made it 40-40.
DRIVE-IN ..• Jim Barry tries for two points, going through the tight DeMatha defense.
Tight Finish The frosh grabbed a quick 46-42
second half advantage on drives by Prendergast and George Keenan, but DeMatha ripped off eight straight to take a 50-46 lead. The frosh pulled even on a Franz layup at 62. Two quick goals by Prendergast gave the frosh a 66-62 lead, but, Austin tied it at 72 and his three point play made it 75-72 with 1 :54 left. After Franz hit a lay-up, DeMatha started a freeze. Then, Austin lost the ball on a drive and Barry tapped in Tim McNamara's lay-up attempt to make it 76-75 with 0:21 remaining. Franz sank two foul shots seconds later to ice it and a DeMatha layup at the buzzer was meaningless.
The frosh played this contest without the services of forward Ron Duncan, who had been hospitalized due to his collapse following the St. John's game.

Frosh. End Season. On Winning Note
The Georgetown frosh· ended their campaign on a winning note as they topped Gonzaga High School 77-65, on Saturday night. The baby Hoyas, under coach Tom Coleman, completed their season with an impressive 17-2 record.
The first half proved to be a seesaw struggle, for neither team was able to hold more than a four point lead as Coleman started his second club and played them throughout the entire period. Pat Hogan's fifteen points on fine shooting, coupled with his aggressive I'ebounding, kept the Blue and Gray' in the I'ace. At the intermission, the baby Hoyas trailed 31-30.
Regulars Provide Spark As the second half opened the
regulars took over and Gonzaga stretched its lead to seven points. " The Hoyas, sparked by Jim Barry's 15 points, rallied and managed to tie the score at 56 all. Tim McN amara then sparked the team to a ten point surge to put the contest out of reach of Gonzaga.
The game ended one of the finest seasons in Georgetown's freshman basketball history. Among the team's seventeen victories were impressive performances against the Navy plebes, DeMatha High, and the Maryland frosh, Their two defeats came at the hands of the George Washington frosh.
In his first year of coaching, Tom Coleman has· succeeded, as the record shows, in combining individual talent into a well-knit unit which should provide a good deal of potential for next year's varsity squad.
