BHE Rejects Administrators' Resignations; Asks Chancellor, Dean, Presidents To Stay
Free Tuition And CU Under Fire A proposal recommending the t ransfer of finan
cial responsibility for the City University from the city to the s ta te was presented to Mayor Wagner 's Temporary Commission on City Finances Thursday.
This recommendation, while similar to the proposal made last week by the Administrat ive Council of the City University, raised several new points including:
• the reduction of the 21-member BHE to 15 members with eight appointed by the Mayor and seven by the Cove r - ;p | p | nor ; Hill
• the possibility i p ^ | of a $400 tuition f ee , i l to be offset f o r i | most students w h o l l do not now pay t u i - | | tion, by s ta te , Fed-11 eral and city schol - f l arships — a p l a n f l similar to -the- o n e i l proposed aaid then ig withdrawn by the : :?::;
Administrative President Buell Gallagher Council when i t eli- Urged Plan's Acceptance cited a hostile reaction from the academic community. - • ;
Under the change proposed, by the Commission's education staff, the state would maintain the CU as a separate institution apar t from, but coordinated with, the S ta te University. Virtually the total cost of the City University would be shifted to the state.
The report asserted tha t " the future of public higher education in New York City i^ jeopard ized by its c u r r e # fiscal s ta tus .
"The question then arises as to whether the city is obliged to continue to finance a public university. The Commission believes tha t the city is obliged to

continue to finance a public university. The Commission believes tha t the city, in continuing i ts financial support for the university, is assuming a responsibility tha t rests with the s ta te ."
BHE Chairman Gustave Rosenberg declared his opposition last week, to any move that would give control of the City Universi ty to the s ta te .
"If by t ransferr ing financial responsibility to the s ta te , the report means we should turn over control to the state, I am vigorously opposed," Mr. Rosen
berg said.
Last week. Governor Rockefellei repeated his proposal of November 14, that the State University establish five new Colleges in New York City. This time it drew a
counter-proposal T'onT Coffiptfollier-
elect Mario A. Pro-BHE's Gustave Rosenberg caccino.
Opposes State Control I n a l e t t e r t o t h e
Governor, he recommended tha t "the funds you indicate are available for such additional colleges be t ransferred a t the earliest possible date to the City Universi ty."
The fate of the new proposal which has been accepted by the Administrative Council, largely at the u rging of President Buell G. Gallagher, is presently in doubt. The resignation of several of its sponsors, including the Chancellor of the CU, raise doubts about the s ta tus of tha t recommendation. Under this plan the s tate would pay for the entire opera t inc budget of the CU, while bonds would be floated, us ing funds to finance the interest on those bonds.
The Board of Higher Education last night rejected the resignation of City University Chancellor Alber t H. Bowker, Dean of Studies Harry Levy, Brooklyn College President Harry Gideonse, and Hunter College President John Meng, and urged them to reconsider.
The four announced Saturday evening tha t they were quitting their posts after they were rebuked by the BHE last Wednesday for advocating the Bowker "shadow tu i t ion" plan.
Bowker and Levy had asked tha t their resignations be considered "effective immediately.' Gideonse and Meng had announced plans to i^t i re a t the end of
. their year. The BHE had demanded the
"undivided feal ty" of its administrators to i ts policies on Wednesday. The Board last night defined "feal ty" as "loyal cooperation."
"That any person should have misunderstood the sense in which the word [fealty] was used is a source of regre t , " the Board said in a resolution.
A public hearing on financing the City University, to which representatives of the City and State, members of the Administrative Council, alumni representatives, students, interested private organizations, and labor unions
would be invited, was also called for. Student Government President Carl Weitzman had made such a suere^Ftion to BHE Chair-
Letter And Petition Question Board Decision Student Government President
Carl Weitzman, on behalf of SG, has issued an opitn let ter to the 7V>ard of Higher Education condemning their "implied" censure of President Gallagher and reaffirming SG's support of academic freedom.
At a meeting of House Plan Council, yesterday, Weitzman implied that Gustave G. Rosen-l»erg. Chairman of the Free Tuition, BHE, had asked Dr. Gallagher not to speak at the College's Open Hear ing on November IS. He fur ther asserted that their statement of November 16, demanding fealty from administrative heads, was at least partially a resul t of Dr. Gallagher's appearance a t their hearing.
Tn an address to the Board yesterday. Weitzman committed the students of the College to defend Dr. Gallagher 's right to J^peak and commended him for doing so.
Following is the tex t of the SG let ter : OPEN LETTER TO T H E BOARD
O F HIGHER EDUCATION Dr. Gustave Rosenberg:
As students we are confused at the conflict t ha t has so disrupted our university and threa t ened to affect its integrity. Although there may have been differences in the past with our president, we have never questioned his good faith, his sense of fair play, and his willingness to discuss mat te rs of public policy openly with students and faculty.
One can, therefore, imagine the general puzzlement result ing at the ambiguous and implicitly antagonist BHE release of Novem-vor 16, 1905. Tha t this s tatement wr*.< promulgated in an executive session (although college presidents a re normally invited to a t tend) lias raised questions of motive and tactics. Tl*e academic
community expects and deserves clarification.
We of the City College of the City of New York reaffirm tha t academic freedom so necessary to maningful communication among reasonabl men from all sectors of the college, community. Any assault upon the integri ty of our president (who is certainly one of the strongest and finest in the country) will be viewed only as an at tack on the integrity of our college and the City University whose destinies are inextricably interwoven. In particular, we are anxious that no recriminations result from the "Open Door* policy to which Dr. Gallagher subscribed by speaking a t our "Open Hearing" on November 15, 1965.

Petition Signed By 1100 Profs
A petition pearing 1100 faculty signatures was presented to the Board of Higher Education (BHE) by the four Alumni Associations of Brooklyn, Queen? Hunter, and City Colleges at the Board's meet ing last night.
The document, calling for the BHE to reconsider its "reprimand" to the Administrative Council, was worded as follows:
"At this critical moment in the history of the City University of New York, we find urgent need for effective deliberation and united action on the part of the Board of Higher Education and the administrat ive council.
"We deeply regre t the board's reprimand to the administrative council and s t rongly urge the

man Gustave Rosenberg earlier. The time and place of the hear
ing are yet to be decided. Meng called the resolution
"only a beginning" and announced tha t he has no plan to r e consider his intention of ret i r ing a t the end of the year.
"Nothing was accomplished" a t last night 's meeting, Gideonse said. "Nothing to change my decision."
The two resignations and two announcements of ret i rement were conceived independently, and were not a concerted effort, Gid-deonse said.
Gideonse, speaking before the resolution was passed, called his relationship with the BHE while President of Brooklyn College " f rus t ra t ing" and announced his intention of returning to teaching. "There is no point," he said, "in spending the remaining years of my life being frustrated."
Bowker and Levy did not a t tend the meeting.
Meng had opposed the demand for "undivided fealty" in a s ta tement Saturday, declaring that , "The undivided fealty of this member of the Administrative Council may be earned, but i t can be neither coerced nor purchased."
Gideonse denied that there was any such thing as a "Bowker Controversy." The shadow tuition proposal was merely "p t e -liminary," he said. Several methods of financing the university, ranging from modest proposals, to "somewhat bolder proposals" were advanced. No one was expected to accept these plans, but ra ther to prepare a "workable al ternat ive," he said.
fflrftifQ m OBSERVATION POST TUESDAY, NOVEMBER H . WW
Baruch School Student Government may be
sued for six hundred dollars by the student government of the Baruch School of Business.
Last year Joel .Cooper while SG President took 250 tickets for the Baruch School boat ride, promising either to sell them or return thum to Baruch before a specified date in June. Barucli School SG President Me! Katz said that Cooper signed a bill of sale for the tickets but never payed.
According to sources in the College's SG, Cooper left the tickets iii his drawer and fcgot about them. Sources also said that Cooper bought the tickets on his own, did not discuss his action
with Student Council, and that therefore Student Government could in no way be responsbile for it.
Baruch School is now preparing to sue -SG 'for what it claims are damages resulting from hiring men and purchasing supplies for the boat-ride on the basis of an expected 250 extra sales. Baruch President Katz said that that he has been trying to negotiate with SG for a return of part of the money lost because of the unsold, un-paid-for tickets. He claimed that so far he has been unable to reach an agreement.
"Unless I get satisfaction," he said, "1 may sue for the entire
SG With Lawsuit six hundred dollars, which is the price of the tickets. We've gone more than half-way on the issue already."
"I'll wait another week or two to initiate-legal proceedings," he continued. "I hope we can come to some sort of agreement."
Katz asserted that he had sought legal advice and felt he could "definitely show injury" and had a "very good chance" to win the suit.
SG President Carl Weitzman said he found Katz's remarks "shocking" and "incredible." He claimed that Katz had never seriously discussed with him the matters pertaining to the suit.
Weitzman criticized Katz for
havipg gone to the newspapers with his complaints first, before contacting him. "I wish they'd stop writing me letters through the headlines," he added.
The Club... "The Club," a booster organ
ization, is sponsoring a trip to Washington, D.C., for a basketball game between the Beavers and American University. The trip will be on Dec. 11-12, and costs $10.75.
Students may sign up tomorrow at 12 Xoon opposite Buttenweiser Lounge. All reservations must be paid in full. No checks will be accepted.

board to reconsider its resolution of Nov. 17 and request that Chancellor Bowker, Presidents Gideonse and Meng and Dean Levy withdraw their resignations and remain in their posts."
In a different vein was the statement of the United Federation of College Teachers. It saidi
"If the resignations of these City University administrators go through, we insist that the professional staff of the university be involved in the search and selection of their successors. The low state of staff morale dictates this vote of confidence in the staff's role as professional educators."
Can Bombs Bring Peace To Vietnam? In the small land of South Vietnam there are one million
people who have been made homeless by the recent military cam-pagiii..Ar. Y. Times, Nov. 1 3 ) . There were already about one and a half million cosualties in July ( B . Fall, Viet Report July, 1 % 5 ) . Harsh military law rules this land which is being devastated.
In 1 9 5 4 , then Senator John F.'Kennedy said, "I am frankly of the belief that n o amount of American military assistance in Indochina can conquer . . . 'an enemy of the people' which has the sympathy and covert support of the people . . ."
He called for study and reasoned appraisal. It did not come. Rather, a hard, narrow policy ensued. The history of this peeiod is not simple. As a result of these eleven years, during which time. Senator Richard Russell says, we m a d e every conceivable error, we are well o n our way to a major Asian war. More than
ever, as the President of the Princeton Theological Seminary recently stated, "the time has come for a radical reappraisal of the assumptions upon which our present international policy is based."
The /V. Y. Times has called for a halt to the bombings . Many people such as Senator Mansfield urge a thoughtful reconsideration of our policy. Erich Fr.omm, John Hersey, Saul Bellow, Arthur Miller, Jules Feiffer and many thousands of others are going to Washington to urge an end to the bombings and the opening of negotiations with all parties concerned, including the Viet. Cong.
We, too ask that the realities be dealt with. This war is unnecessary. We, students at the City College, therefore support the

Eeonomfcs Dept Revamps Letture System; Changes Sated Ms WeH
Plan Seven New Courses, Two Will Be Dropped
Students Spurred Action By Voicing Protests
Student opposition to the methods currently employed in teaching Economics 101 and 102 lectures has led'the Economics Department to institute reforms next term.
Rotation of lecturers, the present system, will be replaced with regularly assigned teachers.
Lecture material will be* more closely tied to classroom work than at preserit.
The decision, according to Student Government Educational Affairs Vice President Hertrtan B4*-lineSr, wsis also motivated by a report' made by the Psychology'
Department suggesting that individual lecturers be assigned, and that classroom and lecture material be coordinated.
Economics 1 classes presently use the system to be adopted in 101 and 102 classes.'
"Student reaction," Berliner said, "has becsn extitemely vocal, important, and nrifavdrable:"
The changS is a "good revision," Berliner said: "Student criticism tool? the initiative."
An evaluation of the lecture courses is currently being planned -by two students acting as in* dividuals.
Numerous changes in the History curriculum were approved by the Committee on Curriculum and Teaching, Friday.
The changes include the addition of seven new courses, the dropiring,. of two others and the dividih^in two of another.
The suggested changes must now go to the Faculty Council for final action. Prof. Arthur Tiedemann (Chmn., History) said yesterday thiit hfc hoped' sdftie of the new courses could be instituted neJrt tenh.
Three ne^reourses on European History would enable a student to take- a- cotfipietse survey-, of the'
chronological history of Europe from ancient times through the Twentieth century. At present the College has no course on the chronological history of 18th or 19th century Europe. The new courses are: Tfie Agfe of Reformation, Europe in the Revolutionary Eva: 1760-1815, and The Age of European Liberalism: 1815-1900.

The United Front Falls It seems incredible that we are still a university. After
more than four years of existence there is still no conception on the part of the Board of Higher Education, the CU's supreme body, or the administrators, who run the CU, as to what tfheir inter-relationship is, or what should be their relationship to the academic community as a whole.
It. ig no wonder with all this confusion, that political opportunists in Albany, headed by Governor Rockefeller, have attempted to utilize this situation to further their objectives. What was once a united front for free tuition, in principle and in fact, has now become a multitude of separate forces all fighting for the upper hand in a power play.
The results of crisis psychology and operation have become manifest witih the numerous proposals which have appeared in the last few days to threaten the very structure of the City University. Observation Post welcomes the beginnings of a return to sanity which last night's action of the Board, of Higher Education represents. An open hearing whereby all the issues can be discussed in an academic atmosphere is the first step to intelligent planning and the •reuniting of the now divergent forces: the Board, the administrators, the faculty and the students.
But just as important is the issue which underlies this immediate crisis which raises, the spectre of the resignation of four CU administrators, that of academic freedom. The administrators must be permitted to communicate freely with the student body and the faculty as the only means to retain some semblance of order and calm on the campus. Without this basic right, the CU can become an amalgam of back door, closed decisions which can only result in an explosion: an explosion which could blow the City
'University to bits.
For Lasting Peace Last week was the bloodiest in the history of the Viet-
nam conflict. Hundreds of American soldiers, whose abilit ies could have been employed far better in solving our domestic problems, were killed. Thousands of Vietnamese, from the North and the South, lost their lives. Many more on both sides were seriously wounded. No victory can be found in the shambles.
There is no longer any doubt that this is an issue of immediate concern to all students. Graduate and non-matriculated students are now being drafted across the country. With the expected increase in manpower in Vietnam, students with poor grades, even if they are matriculated, will be drafted.
On Saturday, November 27, there will be a protest march in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (SANE). The aims of the march are to make the President and the public aware of the foolish bloodshed of the war, and to bring about a negotiated settlement and a lasting peace.
Pope Paul spoke of much the same hope when he was at the United Nations. The marchers do not seek an ideological victory; they seek an end to the senseless slaughter of American soldiers and Vietnamese.
Observation Post joins the many faculty and students at the College who have spoken out against the war in Vietnam. We urge all students to stand up and be counted, before they are called up and sent overseas.
The College Orchestra gave its fall concert Saturday night, replete with the old and the new, including the debut of a conductor, and the probable first performance of Busoni's Symphony in B flat Major.
The orchesti-a, to the surprise of few, tackled an ambitious and long program, and crises in enrollment of members notwithstanding, made a very fine showing. On the program were Mozart's "Overture to the Abduction from the Seraglio," K. 384, and his Symphony in B flat Major, K. 319; Busoni's Sara-bande and Cortege, Op. 52 (misprinted on the program as Opt. 51); and Brahms' Concerto for Violin and Cello in A Minor, Op. 102 which was the highlight of the evening.
Fred Haupt-man, who was making his College conducting debut, was brisk and precise in a vigorous rendition of Mozart's "Overture to The Abduction from the Seraglio." However,. on numerous occasions Mr. Hauptman was far ahead of the already speeding orchestra. It was a credit to their preparation that they nonetheless stayed together throughout the piece.
Next came the Brahms' Double Concert, and tliis was clearly the highlight of the evening. The orchestra started strongly enough, but at the very beginning the soloists, Joel Lester and Richard Bock seemed to have a little trouble getting firmly started. Mr. Bock lost at least two hairs, one by one, from his bow during the beginning of the first movement. These difficulties soon cleared away, however^ and were replaced by some very fine playing. Mr. Bock at his best makes his cello sing, and joined with Mr. Lester's excellent violin playing the two were, a pleasure. The orchestra was always precise, with vigorous attacks and a volume sur
prising for so small a group. The Andante was especially enjoyable, although
there were moments when the soloists seemed not to be sure of themselves or were out of tune or something discomfiting.
The last movement was especially interesting because it was done rather more seriously than itg more usual interpretation as lighter, gayer. Prof. Jahoda's interpretation worked however, and at the end of the piece, orchestra and soloists received enthusiastic and well-deserved curtain calls.
After the intermission the orchestra played what may have been the first performance of Busoni's Sarabande and Cortege, Op. 52. This is a weird work, with muted violins playing tremulo most of the time while muffled trumpeits and cellos' pizzicato rounded out the strangeness. Unfortunately it often seemed that the piece had been added to the program at the last minute,
as entrances and cutoffs were often not together. With the Mozart Symphony in B flat Major, the
orchestra immediately regained its authority. It played this melodious piece with precision, and a full, rich tone. The 'group concluded the-final movement at a breathtaking speed, perfectly together.
It was an ambitious program, and very well done. The last minute arrivals for whom additional seats had- to be set up at the beginning of the concert were, no doubt, like everyone else, very glad they "came. - " - ; ^ ^ , "
The College's orchestra, under the expert tutelage of Fritz Jahoda, has given concert after concert of at worst good, and~at best excellent quality. Hopefully, the consistently fine efforts of this assemblage will begin to put an end to the lack of interest demonstrated by students so that quantity will be added to the quality of this orchestra.
Clubs Suggest Curriculum Reforms To SG;
Subcommittee White Paper Is Forthcoming By NANCY FIELDS
Representatives of six campus organizations as well as individual students presented detailed suggestions on curricular reform at hearings held last Thursday by a special Student Government subcommittee on curricular revision.
The subcommittee will issue a White Paper on curricular reform December 1. After being considered by Student Council, the White Paper will be presented to the Faculty Council.
It was the first time such a hearing has been held at the College, according to Henry Gilgoff, chairman of the SG subcommittee. 'The most important thing is that students came to the hearing on their own," he said. "The hearing was even better than we expected."
Campus First, Common Sense, the Health Education Society, House Plan Association, W. E. B. DuBois Club, and Youth Against War and Facism were represented at the hearing.
"The representatives of the Health Education Society were one of the highlights of the Tneetmg,w Gilgoff said. Members of the society, all of whom are Health Education majors, sug
gested that Health Education 71 be continued m. the College's curriculum as a required course, but that it be revised to emphasize sex education. They argued that most high schools do not give much attention to sex education, and that there is a need for such information to be available to the
college student. "I have asked the members of £he Health Ed Society to write a report on their ideas," Gilgoff said: "If they do, I'll include it in my White Paper'.'
The DuBois Club presented a report which suggested that the College offer more courses in

Film Institute: A Tradition Condemned To Die

Charges and counter-charges have i*e-centiy raged within the College as the projected closing of the Film Institute draws closer.
Richard Anobile and David McDonald, representatives of the Film Institute, and Vic Gardaya, President of Evening Session SG met with President Buell G. Gallagher yesterday to discuss the possibility of continuing the Film Institute beyond next term.
Dr. Gallagher stressed that h* will not yield to pressure "from any quarter." He gaid that the decision to close the Institute was made after three years of careful consideration, and that he would not, under any circumstances, revise his position.
Anobile criticized Dr. Ganqgher's position in a statement to OP:

Instead, Professor Finkel went along with President Gallagher, and as a result, has finally secured Steiglitz Hall, which is in the process of being'made into a theatre for his extra-curricular drama and comedy groups. The plans for the alteration of our facilities were made without even consulting the director of the Film Institute.
"Dr. Gallagher's position, allegedly calling the Fihn"Institute a care«r program essentially vocational in character can be construed as rationalization after the fact. It is unfortunate that President Gallagher, a sponsor of New York's Third Film Festival, and a prominent 20th century educator, cannot consider film as being an art form of the" 20th century belonging in a free liberal arts college. This one man, on the basis of his own preconceived ideas, is shutting out hundreds of students from all ©ver the world who wish to study films in conjunction with their education."
Professor Finkel (Chmn., Speech) denied last week that he had any desire to take over Steiglitz Hall, the building which currently houses the film school. He asserted that his department is not using any

He added that additional funds would be needed to restore the Institute to full capacity, but indicated that student interests seemed to warrant such a step.
McDonald, speaking for Prof. Knapp, stated the position of the cinematographei*s:
"Prof. Davidson, in his last two musical productions, "Good News" and "Wonderful Town" has himself utilized students from our department in making motion pictures for use in these shows. In both cases, the films were acknowledged high spots of the evening. It would be impossible for anyone to have produced these films without a highly specialized training in the art, aesthetics, and practical techniques of motion picture making. It is an established fact that the medium we are dealing with requires intensive study and practical work to master. President Johnson and Congress have indicated this in their recent signing of the bill to establish a national motion picture academy. City College, over a quarter of a century ago was the first acdemic institutiton to demonstrate its faith in this principle."

Grossman suggested that only one year of English be required, and that introductory English courses include more prose, plays, and modem works. Grossman commented on one revision suggested by the Faculty Committee on

But those were the only two goals that Zaiderman, last year's high scorer, got this year. Jim Mai*tino, the Beavers' most underrated player, ended his college soccer career on a high note by notching three goals against Pratt.
The College's soccer season was a success, though not an overwhelming one. The team had its moments, but at times, which occurred all too frequently, they appeared sluggish. But perhaps the most important reason why the year was a success was the tie with Long Island University. The tie seemed big at the time it happened, and got bigger as the season went on and LIU kept winning. And it may seem even bigger in a few weeks if the Blackbirds turn out to be national champions.

fiingkam Calls Shadow Tuition "Alke In Wonderland" Idea
By KEN A. ALBANESE The Bowker proposal for "sha
dow tuition" was condemned by Congressman Jonathan Bingham in a speech before the Government and Law Society last Thursday. He called the lack of deliberation and consultation an "Alice in Wonderland" story. "I hope free tuition will be preserved," Bingham said. 'He believes that the Federal Government may eventually have to help to secure it.
Bingham said that there is some possibility of the College's obtaining aid from the govern-ment for the completion of its construction program, "because the Federal Government has had more activity in support of building programs."
In speaking of the accomplishments of the 89th Congress, Gingham called it an "historic and unprecedented Congress." Approximately 86 major bills were passed. "It was not, however, a rubber stamp Congress,'' he said. "Many of the bills were revised by Congress and made better."
Bingham called the enactment

General Alberto Ruiz-Novoa, candidate for the presidency of Colombia on the Liberal Party ticket, told of the economic conditions of Latin America at the College Friday. The speech, given before Spanish club, was completely in Spanish.
Essential economic aid too often falls into the wrong hands, the general claimed. He claimed that the poverty-stricken masses of Latin America do not receive proper treatment from those in power.
"Democracy on paper is meaningless," Genneral Ruiz-Novoa stressed,_."what is, important is what is done in fact."
The General suggested that economic aid be restricted to

Voiced by Biernwn, Dudmcek A firm assertion that the
United States should withdraw from Vietnam was contrasted with a questioning affirmation of support for the government's policy there as two professors presented their views in Harris Auditorium Thursday in a program sponsored by Hillel.
Prof. Arthur Bierman (Physics) called the revolution in South Vietnam "a legitimate response of Vietnamese siciety to its own history" with which we have no right to interfere.
Prof. Ivo Duchacek (Political Science) said that if the war was in the interest of United States' national security, it was justified. Vietnam, he claimed, may be a test case for China's strategy of fomenting revolutionary wars.
Bierman, speaking first, asserted that "due to the impact of modern technology and ideology, feudal societies are disintegrating, launched on the river of change." Revolts, he said "are not 4;he consequence of a demonic communist conspiracy," but rather are aimed at overthrowing a corrupt social order.
U.S. Supports Status Quo The United States supports re
gimes committed to preserving the status quo and fearing the social consequences of industrialization, he added. He said that the United States should instead welcome the attempts of people like the Vietnamese to modern
ize themselves, even if it leads to the erosion of American military power in a region.
"The Hanoi regime Is more Vietnamese than Leninist," Prof. Bierman asserted. "It represents indigenous forces, reflecting the ideas of their age."
He stated that the war in Vie-nam was an "anti-human policy, encouraging the most brutal and reactionary elements in our society." He cited the case of a war veteran who said he would pay for gasoline for any demonstrator against the Vietnamese who wanted to immolate hipi-self. This proposal was warmly applauded by 300 persons at a Jewish War Veterans meeting, he said.
Disturbed By Cruelty Prof. Duchacek said that
though he was disturbed by the cruelty of the war in Vietnam, he was also disturbed by the hypocritical, even communist nature of the criticism against it.
He said that once one rejects pure pacifism and accepts war in certain circumstances, one moves away from the moral plane. "It is on a non-moral but political level that the Vietnamese war should be discussed," he added.
"I have somewhat more trust in the government of the United States than some people," he said. "I give the benefit of the doubt to the President of the United States first and-to Hanoi second."
Launches Anti-Draft Program Hugh Fowler, president of the
Dubois Clubs of America, disclosed the plans of a nation-wide anti-draft program in a meeting here Thursday.
The program is structured so as to encompass evei*y level of protester against the Vietnam war. "In this way," Fowler stated, "the campaign will develop into an effective political movement."
The main efforts of the pro-gram are directed at organizing the sympathizers against the war among students, teachers, re-

ligious groups and the working class. An anti-war petition has already begun in Chicago and will be continued on a national level.
The program also calls for a build up in the number of teach-ins and anti-war demonstrations. Fowler alluded to the mobilization of Negroes and ghetto peoples presently taking place for the forthcoming March on Washington on Saturday. "As a result," he stated, "we will have-to tie in future anti-war demonstrations with that of getting more jobs."
The issue of alternative service, which has recently received much attention among government officials and in the nation's courts, is also referred to in the program. It proposes that DuBois Club members . ed.ucate a great number of young men as to the prerequisites for conscientious objector status and on the alternative services offered. One student suggested that an analysis of the Supreme Court's decision on a "Supreme Being" be made by the club.

League last year, but they could easily Hrt>v€ iipr into second place in the league this season. Many of the teams which finished ahead of them last year, such as Wagner and Hofstra, have weaker squads this season, and the Beavers are definitely improved. Of
Soccer... (Continued from Page 8)
best the booters could manage were identical 3-2 wins. The Queens game, played at Lewi-sohn Stadium before a crowd estimated at eighteen, went into overtime before the Beavers pulled it out.
The Beavers were most im-pi-essive in beating Seton Hall, 6-0; Their offense (Cliff Soas) was working well and their defense met? whatever challenges the Pirates posed.
The final two games of the season were split by the Lavender. They lost to Bridgeport, their annual nemesis* 2-0, but ended the camp&igh by whipping Pratt, 6-2.
The top goalscorer for the season was Cliff Soas, with ten tallies. Bill Franz and Jim Mar-tind knocked in four apiece, Izzy Zaiderman twb, and Matt Cris-cuGlo, M&MalL Couret, Mike Ni-gTb, and Doug' Smith one each. One pleasing result of this season was tlfe emergence of Bill Franz as a dependable player. Anbther lairge asset was the acquisition- of William Killen, who did a fuifc jtib in his rookie year as coach!
The season had many fine individual perforriiances by Beaver players. Walt Kopczuk excelled several times, but was never better than he was against LIU. Cliff Soas scored five times against Seton Hall'to tie the College's record." Soas was the only-
- offensive threat on the Beavers : squad, game in and game out. Izzy Zaidermari was the star of
-the Queens game, scoring two times, once in the overtime period. But those were the only two goals that Zaiderman, last year's high scorer, got this year. Jim Martino, the Beavers' most underrated player, ended his college soccer career on a high note by notching three goals against Pratt.
The College's soccer season was a success, though not an overwhelming one. The team had its moments, but at times, which occurred all too frequently, they appeared sluggish. But perhaps the most important reason why the year was a success was the tie with Long Island University. The tie seemed big at the time it happened, and got bigger as the season went on and LIU kept winning. And it may seem even bigger in a few weeks if the Blackbirds turn out to be national champions.
President... (Cofltmued on Page 7)
the aid is not obligatory, these conditions could not be construed as internal interference. He cited the Alliance for Progress as an example of a restricted-aid program.
"There are two types of Latin Americans," G^p. Ruiz-Novoa commented, "The poor and the rich." He conceded that the rich have tifiditionally opposed reform, but added that they would most likely gfve up some of their prerogatives when they saw the justice of new and more democratic systems.
course, last yea* the Beavers did conquer league cMiiipictii Long Island University? but ths Blackbirds are much stronger this season and it is doubtful whether anyone will knock them out of first place.
The ingredients are present to top last year's 10-8 record. Barring injuries, master chef Dave Polansky and the Beavers could surprise quite a few observers this season.

The issue of alternative service, which has recently received much attention among government officials and in the nation's courts, is also referred to in the program. It proposes tlvat ©u-Bois Club members educate a great number of young men as to the prerequisites for conscientious objector status and on the alternative services offered. One stu* dent suggested that an anal* ysis of the Supreme Court's decision on a "Supreme Being" be made by the club.

Cagers Prepared For Sixtieth Seaso With Much Improved Stutters, Bench
By HEKB MILES
It takes many ingredients to make a winning basketball team: shooting, ball-handling, rebounding, a good bench, and experience. In past years, the College's basketball team has had one or more of these components, hut this season's squad appears to have it all.
The success of the team will depend upon just how much the two big men, 6-4 Bob Kissman f'sd (>-<i Rarry Eisc'inann, h:t\T i ' iprovt'd. Kissman will be a t cotiter and Eisemann at the right forward position, but many of the Beavers' plays will operate cut of a double post.
Eisemann possesses great raw talent, but he hasn ' t used his as -

sets for peak performance yet. Barry did a fine rebounding job last year, but never learned how to use his seventy-eight inches to score points. He also had a problem with his foul shooting, hitt ing on only twenty-five pei'cent of his a t tempts .
Kissman is the more experienced of the two, and is. along with Alan Zuckerman, co-captain. One of Bob's troubles last season, was his inability to get rid of the ball fast enough to one of his guards after grabbing a rebound.
Nimrods Roll The College's rifle team
made it eighty-nine straight wins at the Lewisohn Stadium Rifle Range by clobbering Newark College of Engineering and Brooklyn College in a triangular meet Friday night.
The nimrods, with 12>U. were Ud by Bruce Gitlin with 267. Alan Feit with 257, Paul Karci-ruk with 253, and Matt Cardilio and Frank Yones with 252. XCE, which scored 1236, was paced by Goorge Toloschow, whosf* 262 was second best. Brooklyn finished last with 1201.
The nimrods, who currently sport a 4-0 record, face Navy or. December 4 at Annapolis.
The Beavers are most secure in the backcourt, where Zuckerman and junior Mike Pearl hold the fort. Zuckerman averaged 17.4 and Pearl 12.2 points-per-game last season, to lead the Lavender in scoring. Most of Zuckerman's baskets were scored off drives toward the basket.
most likely go to Pa t Valla nee, a 6-1 junior. Pa t saw only limited action last year, but coach Dave Polansky has been impressed by his defensive ability and outside shot.
One newcomer who figures to see a good deal of action is Frank Brandos, a 5-11 junior. In addi-

O'Connell fakes Fifth Place
In AAU Cross-Country Meet By PAUL SMOLARCIK
Competing in the "Senior Indvidual and Team Cross Country Championships" Sunday at Van Cortlandt Park "Under the Auspices of The Millrose Athletic Association" were a
ner a t covering the distance was Joe Lynch of the New York Athletic Club. Lynch, last year's IC4A champ, ran the race in 30:47.
The best Beaver was Jim O'Connell, as reliable a t this new distance as a t the old five miles. O'Connell placed fifth in the race with a clocking of 32:05,
Two clubs, the NYAC and the Millrose, A.A., divided their men into three and two different groupings respectively so that they would not overwhelm the o ther teams in the meet. Comput ing the scores on this basis, the Beaver har r ie rs came in, un-officially ,in seventh places oat of new distance as -at the old five ten teams. The winner was the New York Athletic Club's team " A " with a total of 27 points. Fordham came in second with 56.
There were only six Lavender runnei*s competing Sunday. Besides O'Connell, the other Beave r s were Abe Assa, Gus Man
group of athletic clubs, college teams, and assorted unattached individuals who could find nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon than run ten thousand meters through the muck of Cemetery Hill. And when the muck had cleared, all that had been proved was
running through mire and muck.
The "Senior Mets ," as it is affectionately called, extends the usual cross country distance of five miles to a little over six. Ten thousand meters , when translated into the American system of measure, comes out, very roughly, to 6.2287 miles. And yesterday, the most effective run-

Now tha t the last goal has been scored, the last save has been made, and the last penalty shot has been awarded, all that remains is to determine whether or not the College's soccer team

had a successful sea?on. This is not as easy as it seems.
From the standpoint of cold facts, the Reavers; had an above average campaign. They placed third in the tough Metropolitan IntoyYollegiate Soccer League, only two point? behind powerhouse Long Island University, by
winning five, losing one and ty ing one in league competition. Overall , . the squad was victorious in six of its ten games.
The main reason for most of the Lavender 's wins was i ts defense. Goalie Wal t Kopczuk and the rest of defensive squad allowed only sixteen goals in ten contests. Only once did the opposition score more than two goals in a game, and three times Kopczuk recorded shutouts.
The Beavers ' season opened on a dubious note, with a 3-0 win over C. W. Post, the doormat of the league. The Lavender offense was poor tha t day, but it was even weaker the next week in a 4-0 loss to New York University. If the Beavers had beaten NYU, they would have tied for the Met ti t le instead of finishing third.
The hooters ' third game of the season was their finest moment. Again their offense lagged, but this t ime it was excusable, as the Beavers were playing, and tying, l<ong Island University, which did not allow a goal all year in the Met Conference. The Lavende r defense was superb that day, stopping A11-Americans Dov Markus and Gerry KHvecka. It was to be the only time all year
tha t LIU was shut out. The crest of LIU was follow
ed, sadly, by the t rough of Fai r -leigh Dickinson University. The Beavers played creditably, but thei r offense again lagged and they lost 2-1. A few questionable calls by the officials led to the defeat, but the Lavender's of-

The Beavers then went on to win their next four games, three again.st Met League teams. But they overpowered none of the three. Against Brooklyn, Adelphi, and Queens, three teams the Beavers should have mangled, the

The final finish for the Beave r s would definitely have been happier , though, had Neil Leibo-witz and Alan Hansen l>een compet ing. The two sophomores have t ime and again been the fourth and fifth finishers for the Lavender this year. Leibowitz is still feeling the effects of a spill he took running in the lC4As.
