For California Grapepickers

RIC Students Asked To Support Labor Movement

by JEFF SIWICKI Marcos Munoz, a representative

of the striking United Farmwork­ers of California, addressed RIC students recently in an appeal for support of a proposed statewide boycott of California grapes and

. grape pr<;>ducts. Mr. Munoz explained that the

strike of Delano, California farm­workers stems from the growers' refusal to recognize the workers' recently formed union, and to pro­vide such working conditions and benefits as toilets in the fields, de­cent housing conditions, and provi­sions for medical care. Wages are set at $1.25 an hour, and are con­sidered inadequate by the pickers, who lack power to effect changes without a union contract.

"Farmworkers," Mr. Munoz con­tinued, "are not covered by the National Labor Relations Act, and are not allowed an election or any other kind of recognition proce­dure. Regardless of how many workers desire an election or union, the grower is not legally obligated to meet or negotiate with them. The workers feel that if the strike hurts the growers, they will eventually recognize union representation. With the in­troduction of Mexican strikebreak­ers into the fields left vacant by the strikers, however, the strike per se is seen as inadequate."

Since most of the grapes in the fields are ultimately reaching the markets of the grape-eating East,

Inaugural Event

Cancelled The concert planned for Sunday

evening Nov. 10 has been cancelled due to the disbandment of the Chamber Symphony of Philadel­phia. In its place the Music de­partment had planned a concert of Solo and Chamber compositions by faculty and guest artists.

However, this too has been can­celled due to the fact rthat only fifty three tickets have thus far been given out. This was to be the last of a series of events sched­uled for Inauguration Week.

the strikers now feel it necessary to request of consumers a boycott of grapes, which, hopefully, will deal the crushing blow in this eco­nomic war against Californian grapegrowers. Specifically, Mr. Munoz requested his audience not to buy California table grapes (which make up 93% of all grapes sold in this area) until growers sign a contract with the United Farmworkers Organizing Commit­tee, AFL-CIO, to ask individual store owners not to carry grapes for the duration of the strike, and to aid in picketing chain stores carrying California grapes.

The Rev. Vincent C. Maynard, Catholic Chaplain of the College, is coordinator of the campus strike-supporting activities. He has announced that any student interested in donating time to this cause may see him at his office in the Student Union.

John H.Monro To Deliver Inauguration Address

John H. Monro, director of freshman studies at Miles Col­lege in Birmingham, Ala., will deliver the inauguration ad­dress on the RIC campus when Dr. Kauffman is installed as the college's fourth president and twelfth chief ex,ecutive.

Fine Arts Series Presents ✓

Theodore Bikel In Concert Theodore Bike!, universally ac­

claimed folksinger will be present­ed in concert Friday, Nov. 8 at Walsh Gym by Ric Fine Arts Series.

This is Mr. Bikel's first visit to Providence since Nov. 1963, when on the evening of the funeral of the funeral of the late President John F. Kennedy, he fulfilled a contract agreement to perform on that most difficult occasion; and through his music, brought joy to a day filled with grief for so many.

In The World of Music, an illus­trated encyclopedia, Theodore Bikel is described as "an Austrian­American folksinger and actor who sings folk songs from twenty countries in the native languages, accompanying himself on the guitar."

Like most encyclopedic sketches the above in no way describes ful­ly the multi-talented "Theo," as he is affectionately called by fans everywhere.

He was one of the original or­ganizers of the popular Newport Folk Festival; and returns to Fes­tival Field each year (along with George Wein l as h•ost and per­former for thousands of "folk" devotees.

Throughout the entertainment world the name of Bikel is synono­mous with highest quality per­formance, whether on Broadway, records or the concert stage. Fri­day night's audience is in for a rare treat!

Tickets are available in Roberts hall from 10-4 daily. 'I1hey go on sale to the Public Friday at $3.50 each.

Theatre Group Plans Production Coming November 21-22-23 is

the RIC Theatre production of August Stringdberg's "Miss Julie", a Swedish 19th century realistic tragedy, coupled with Aristo­phanes' "Thesmophoriazusae", an ancient Greek comedy. The plays are under the direction of Joseph D. Graham of the RIC speech de­partment.

The Student In Higher Education New Haven, Conn. - (I.P.) -

The freshman college year should be a breathing-spell of orientation rather than intensive academic study, according to a 66-page re­port released by the Committee for The Student in Higher Edu­cation. Funds for the survey J)Ook­let, "The Student in Higher Edu­cation," came from . the' Hazen Foundation of New Haven. The report recommends:

1. "No matter how much it may confuse schedules or course loads, and no matter how many new faculty must be hired, colleges should strive to have as many in­dividual seminars or tutorials and

as few large lecture-hall classes as possible.

2. Competition in all colleges must be reduced. Grades shouid be optional, and students should be ·permitted to take courses on a "pass-fail" basis if they desire.

3 "A new kind of faculty must appear, compo·sed of men and women whose primary concern is the facilitation of the learning experience of students, and helping them derive personal meaning from those experiences." A good many of these teachers should not be from the academic community at all but the workaday world. HIGHER EDUCATION Page 3

EDITORIALS

S. R. 0. On Thursday, Nov. 7, RIC will see the inaugu­

ration of its 4th President and 12th chief executive. This occasion marks not only the beginning of a new administration here on campus, but also the hopeful beginning of a new life for the RIC stu­dent.

We students have now something more meaning­ful than a committee, or an empty promise. We have Dr. Joseph Frank Kauffman.

In an unprecedented series of events, Dr. Kauffman has given the students a feeling of meaningfulness and belonging. Since he assumed his new position on July first, there has been a sense of change reaching hot only the administra­tion and faculty but the students as well. It is this change which has opened new doors for the stu­dent body and realized one of its strongest desires - a chance to be heard. And, more importantly, listened to ·with the knowledge that what we as students have to say is given sincere and honest consideration.

He is wi!li!_lg to give us his time to listen, dis­cuss, and try to constructively seek answers and solutions to the problems which plague the RIC Student. What more could we ask for. This is not something which is just a possibility, but rather it is a fact. Dr. Kauffman has already sought to meet with representative groups of students from or1sanization~ both appointed and popularly elected.

What remains to be done? Very simply, the rest is up to us·. We owe it to the new President as our new President and as a friend of the stu­dent to muster all the support we can.

Last spring we demonstrated in behalf of more student voice in the affairs of the college. It was a cry, that for the most part, went unanswered.

During inauguration week, in particular the formal inauguration and the recital Wednesday night make it a point to attend these functions. Make sure that its Standing Room Only.

If the founders of our nation had worked only for the good of their own self-interests I doubt very much that Mr. Brown would have many of the rights he feels are now being infringed upon.

Dear Editor: My initial year here at Rhode

Island College is now close to mid­trem, and from the first day of pre-orientation until now all I have heard from class officers and faculty alike is that here at RIC all students, simply because they are here, are automatically enveloped in the suffocating mist of apathy!

I think that the problem is more of lack of communication and cooperation between student and faculty and among the four

It is obvious that not only this freshman class but all the pre­ceeding ones are infected with this dread disease called apathy when they receive their acceptance let­ters. The fact is that RIC must be

inflicted with this disease because that the critic felt that Angela no one prescribes a cure for a dis­ease that is not present, and sure­ly all suggested cures are evident.

Then if apathy is here at RIC it was here before the class of '72 got here. But like the class of '71, '70 and '69 that have proceeded us us we inherit the task of the class before us of manufacturing the shot of adrenalin to be used first direct toward RIC as a whole and second as a booster for the other classes.

In reflecting, for a moment, on pre-college life this year's fresh­man class, in fact, all previous freshman classes - bring with them a freshness and vigorous spirit that rocked the halls of every high school in the state. The spirit of '68 high school class is matched every year at every high school by every class. The prob­lem then is evidently transmitting the enthusiasm thru communica­tion and cooperation to the col­lege level.

In order then for 1972 to be a banner year for RIC and our­selves, we must make the spirit of '68 a reality of '72 starting now, All classes must work together to give RIC the shot of adrenalin it so badly needs to eventlally make Rhode Island College first, sec­ond to none!

Class of '72 Jim Bianco

Mcllmail gave a poor perform­ance. It is fallacious because to the best of my .knowledge Miss Smith is not possessed of extra­sensory perception, and therefore has no right to use her conception of the critic's supposed "personal aversion" as a basis for attacking him. It is perfectly legitimate to criticize an artistic endeavor for lack of originality while still ad­miring what is creative and ori­ginal; for example, one may criti­cize a bad epic poem and still ad­mire Homer.

Apparently Miss Smith does not agree however, for she states that "to criticize an actress for remind­ing him of another actress is not the reviewer's job." Miss Smith thus assumes that it is the direc­.tor's job to define the reviewer's job. This is absurd. I am sure that Miss Smith would like all her pro­ductions to receive favorable re­views, but this hardly gives her the right to demand unqualified praise from critics. Just as the di­rector has the right to 'interpret the play in any way he wishes, so the critic has the right to criti­cize a play or performance in any way that seems justifiable to him. Although I am hardly an expert in the field of dramatic criticism, I . think most reasonable people would agree that this is "the re­viewer's. job."

Dr. Zaki: "More Student The Song of Brother Juniper Faculty Involvement"

by LYNNE BOISSEL "The student should get a touch

of what's happening in his com­munity. There should be no barrier between what we teach in the classroom and what's happening in the community."

This is the way in which Dr. Gamal Zaki, RIC's newest member of the Sociology Department, characterizes the objective of teaching the course, "Urban So­ciology."

Dr. Zaki, went on further to say that, " ... the student learns the basic concepts and processes of understanding urban regions in the classroom, but what is ulti­mately important is whether or not the student applies what he has learned in his community."

Although Dr. Zaki has been on campus for only eight weeks, he has made some observations con­cerning RIC in general. Upon be­ing asked what his impression of RIC was, Dr. Zaki expressed sur­prise.

According to him, "there is very little interaction between students and faculty." When asked why he felt this "non-interaction" existed, Dr. Zaki stated frankly, "I don't know." He also sensed that students themselves don't seem to get involved in the affairs of the college.

However he expressed hope that more communication between fac­ulty and student would develop

because according to Dr. Zaki, " . . . both the student and pro­fessor could benefit from informal talks with one another."

Dr. Zaki's main interest lies in "Urban Sociology and Research." A native of Cairo, Egypt, Dr. Zaki received his BSC degree from Cairo Academy. After establishing residence in the United States in 1953 he completed his doctoral work in 1958 at Indiana University in "Community Development and Organization."

His most recent project in this area has been in aiding Dr. Houghton organize the "Confer­ence for Urban Education Center'' He described the program as " ... bringing unique educational opportunities to ghetto areas." He expressed optimism concerning the success of such a project due to the "flexibility" of the program to the needs of the people.

Asked' what three books he would choose if he were going t6 be stranded on an island and could only take three books along with him, Dr. Zaki sat quietly in his office chair for a moment. Then he said that he would probably take "a volume containing the tenets of various religions; a col­lection of Somerset Maugham books" and finally, his face break­ing in to a smile, "I suppose I would take along a book entitled, 'how to Save Myself in Case of Crisis.'"

• A Review of The Student Free Press by BOB CAREY

The much publicized and long awaited Student Free Press has at last made its initial appearance on campus. It is not a journalistic masterpiece but neither is it ob­liquely pedantic. The Student Free Press is a healthy thing on our campus and we hope that in time it will become professional enough to merit the enthusiasm behind it.

It had been promised that the Student Free Press would be free of censorship. A quick reading will assure one that the promise has been kept - diligently. The norm­al, expected obscenities are sprin­kled liberally throughout, ibut there is not much of a shock seeing these things in print anymore.

Sheldon Mossberg, who appears to be editor-in-chief even though there was no masthead published

in the paper, has written two ar­ticles. One is a highly respectable critique of the report of the Stu-· dent Freedom Committee. The other is a critic's dream. It is a fantasy with an important point but it is carried too far and is just not well done.

Jim McGetrick has written an article concerning the draft. He confronts the situati6n face-to­face and discusses the alternatives that a graduating senior has in regards to the selective service. But then McGetrick makes a mis­take and destroys the integrity of the article. He asks what girls can do to show their influence in this direction and comes up with the somewhat inept suggestion that they should "never sleep with a guy who supports the war." FREE PRESS Page 7

SPECIAL STUDENT DISCOUNT WITH COLLEGE STUDENT I.D.'s

Hours: Tues.-Fri. 9:30-9:00 - Sat. 9:30-6:00 CLOSED MONDAYS

by Bernie Dulude Brother Juniper asked me if he

could have one of my weeds. I said yes and gave him one. On this brisk Halloween night, he wore only his loose-fitting brown habit and his sandeled feet were stock­ingless. I work for WSBE-TV and was driving this Franciscan friar to the television studio at Adams Library where he was to tape a show called "Showcase for the Arts."

Juniper? I asked if he took that name from the cartoon character. He replied that the "Brother Juni­per" cartoon is drawn by a fellow Franciscan and that they both took the name from the same source. Juniper was the name of an early follower of St. Francis. The cartoonist probably selected the name because of some humor­ous things were reported to have happened to this man Juniper. This cleric-folksinger-poet callee\ Juniper who sat opposite me, did not specify why he had chosen that name seven years ago.

"I like to play what I feel" he said. Brother Juniper said that he didn't know which of repertoire of original material he would per­form. Whatever happens between he and the audience would deter­mine what he would sing. He ~dd­ed that he found it most difficult to sing to a machine, which he had been doing recently for an album which he is recording.

What about the beard? I asked him if he got any static about it from his superiors. He replied that there was some at first, but not anymore. "It's just hair'' he said.

The studio lights were broiling hot. A modest number of chairs had been set-up in front of the solitary stool and microphones to accommodate the audience. Bro-

ther drank black coffee and tuned­up, seemingly oblivious to the or­ganized chaos of the pre-taping session. When two young aldies ar­rived whom he knew, he greeted both warmly, kissing one of them. He sat with them and talked, agreeing to sing their requests.

The show began. Brother Juni­per's voice rose softly and clearly as he did the title son from his album, "Do You Know My Same?" This song, like all his others, tells about the man. "Do You Nnow My Name?" Is perhaps a quiet ques­tion posed by a forgotten God, or the individualistic expression of a folksinging friar.

His songs are simple. And fun­ny, like the one about the perils of Jong-distance dialing on the telephone. Man against the sys­tem. Numbers, numbers: ad infi­nitum, ad absurdum. Another, called "Just Because" is about why people do things, like why some men have to climb moun­tains.

"To love and be loved is greater than the pain of goodbye" ran a couplet from a poem which he re­cited. He called the poem "Hello."

Brother had off-handedly quip­ped, just before the session started

'Red Roses for Me' by JEFF SIWICKI

In his Trinity Squ~re production of RED ROSES FOR ME, director Adrian Hall has managed to wring every golden drop of "Life" from Sean O'Casey's lines. The perform­ance of the cast was well-suited to the elements of sorrow, folksy sen­timentality and humor which per­vade the play.

The time and place is the pre­free Dublin of 1913. Ayamonn Breydon is an idealistic young man attracted to art, music, lit­erature, and liberal politics. Against the wishes of his widowed mother and his sweetheart, Sheila, Ayamonn joins his fellow rail­workers, in a strike over wages. It results in Ayamonn's being kill­ed by the police force supporting the management of the railroad. His death for the sake of a single shilling is hailed as "noble and mighty;" Sheila feels that, "May­be he saw the shilling in the shape of a new world.''

RED ROSES FOR ME, though it makes a social point and closes with the death of its martyr-hero, is no tragedy, and might not even be classified as a "serious" piece. For the story of Ayamonn and his quest for beauty and justice is only part, (though an important one) of a total picture of the Irish that O'Casey seems to be present­ing. Surrounding and involved with Ayamonn's story are the amusing lives, characters, and ad­ventures of his friends and neigh­bors - the friendly disputes be-

tween the Protestants and Catho­lics, Mrs. Breydon's care for her needy neighbors, the mystery of the disappearing statue of the Blessed Virgin, and the interfer­ence of the irritating but lovable landlord, Brennan O'The Moor, in everyone's affairs. As insignificant as these people and their lives may seem, they are just as "real" as Ayamonn and his existence.

Standouts in a uniformly fine cast were Terry Lomax as Aya­monn, Martyn Green as the afore­mentioned Brennan O'The Moor, Mairin D. O'Sullivan as the sym­pathetic old crone, Eeada, James Gallery as the "popish" Roory O'Balacaun and Donald Somers, a joy to observe in his two roles as farcical old men, the neighbor and the sexton, Samuel.

Along with Marguerite H. Le­nert, Nancy Acly, William Cain, Robert Colonna, Barbara Orson, Peter Gerety, Ed Hall and Richard Pinter, they emphasize, in the di­versity of their characterizations, the completeness of the world which is O'Casey's play.

Roger Morgan's lighting and Richard Cumming's arrangement of the few musical numbers are functional and adequate. Robert D. Soule's sets are quite realistic. But, appropriately, in a play so very much concerned with people, it is the people who perform that best demonstrate O'Casey's no­tions of good and bad, of fun and sorrow, in a people he obviously loves very much.

that he "did his own junk." A song which he wrote for "my brother and his girlfriend" hardly strikes me as junk. "Be Near" is a simple statement that sometimes the word love doesn't signify. A differ­ent way to say what you feel is to say "be near."

A vendor with a cart yells, "Peanuts and Coca-Cola, hot dogs and any kind of _soda, the line forms right here.'' A song about Brother Juniper's father, but about anybodies father, I suppose, who isn't a doctor or a lawyer.

He sings one called "The Tube." ("It's not anti-TV, it's just an an­ti- things that make people indif­ferent.'') In a room people are watching television and a man is dying on the floor, but "no one looked up, nobody moved - Shhhh ... can't you see we lookin' at the Tube." In the final verse, Brother Juniper tells us, the people watch­ed the funeral on TV.

The half-hour tape was all to short. Brother Juniper was given the signal to cut. Prophetically, I thought, the final song he sang, was called "Herald of the King.''

Higher Education (Continued front Page 1)

4. "The power of the profession­al academic guilds over undergrad­uate instruction should be broken. Faculty veto groups, however powerful, can no longer be per­mitted to block reform in under­graduate education, or to specify what educational experiences a young person should have before he is admitted to graduate school." The report says students should have increased power in education­al policy-making because "they do have insight into the meaning of their educational experiences which ought to be important in making ... administrative deci­sions.''

In addition, "wide democratiz­ation" of rule-making and en­forcing on the campus 111iust be undertaken, and should be done "with good grace rather than as a result of ever-increasing student pressure."

'~ .. so alike, so inexorably alike:'

This is the season w.-hen millions of members of the family of man-of many faiths-observe solemn holy days.

Each faith, in its own way, recognizes in its observance the oneness and brotherhood of man.

Carl Sandburg once

wrote: "Though meanings vary, we are alike in all countries .... From tropics to arctics, humanity lives .with these needs so alike, so inexorably alike."

This ideal of brotherhood is fundamental to individuals and organizations dedicated to the common good.

The International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, for example, comprises

It is in this spirit that we extend our best wishes for the holiday season. __

a vocal ensemble of no more than 25 voices, sang its way through those trying two hours, and made its final bows to the appl~use of an impressed audience.

The muted tones of "Ave Ma­ria," sung in the -tradition of Gre­gorian Chant, floated into the darkened and hushed auditorium to begin the evening's perform­ance. If the markings of good choral singing are perfection of pitch, sustaining of tone, and mas­tery of voice-blend, than the mem­bers of this choir created a sound which falls into the category of expert. The singing of the "Ave Maria" served as a delicate, and strangely lonely beginning for the vibrantly demanding, yet soothing program which was to follow. Working within the Renais~ance tradition for a short while after the opening number, Dr. Wagner

Scott Molloy has contributed two articels. One concerns the ac­tions of Tommie Smith and John Carlos at the olympics. Molloy criticizes the policy of the Ameri­can Olympic Committee in reliev­ing Smith and Carlos of their posi­tions on the· team. This criticism is done well and in a subtle man­ner. The reason for the second ar­ticle is hard to determine. It seems to be a· travelogue of sorts rela,t­ing the writers experiences on a trip to Mexico.

Finally, multi-talented folksing­er Ken Lyon has exhibited another side of his creative talent.

directed a particularly clever per­formance of "O Admirable Com­mercium." The choir literally moved into the audience, in such a manner that female and male voices were divided, positioned on opposite sides of the hall. The de­lightful result was the creation of a stereo-sound, with the voices op­posed, performing in a dialogue fashion. The walls quivered with the movement of the music, and my ears echoed the harmony.

The period of composition known as the Baroque was not ignored, and therefore neither was the vocal ability of the soprano and alto sections. The women's voices were pitted against each other in a performance of J. S. Bach's "Duet for Soprano and Al­to (Cantata 78)." The movement of varying melodie lines, one against the other, without one part becoming stronger or clearer in texture, is difficult to achieve. Such a composition offers to the performer an opportunity to

1 ~is­

play the ability of concentration on pitch and melody.

Clashing dissonance, multi-rhythmic movement, thrusts of harsh harmonic tones, and isolated melodic motives all vibrantly com­bined to create the straining emo­tion which characterized Alberto Ginastera's "The Lamentations of Jeremiah." Not a beat was lost, nor a note missed, and I could neither tap my foot in time to the rhythm, nor hum any definite melody. The driving quality and intensity of feeling from which the work acquires its force were there in the eyes and etched upon the face of each singer. ·

Dr. Wagner remained in the realm of 20th century composition with the inclusion in the program of Leonard Bernstein's "Chiches­ter Psalms." Lovely, poignant, vi­tal, disturbing, soothing are all ad­jectives applicable to a discussion of the work. Six Psalms of the Old Testament were treated musi­cally some in their entirety, some in sections. The lyrical text was in Hebrew, a language suited, some­how, to the sustaining of such mods as nostalgia, sorrow, and joy. The characteristic Romantic qual­ity of the composer's music was present in the flowing lyric melo­dy,, sung by soprano soloist Jean­nine Wagner. The music served as

my ticket for escape, from earthly mundane trivialities to a world of green hills and soft river banks. Bernstein the modern composer was there, too, in the disturbing sounds of splashing dissonance and the pulsating movement of debat­ing rhythm.

Johannes Brahm's Requiem, composed at the height of the 19th century Romanticism, provided the content for the second half of the program. This sacred work consists of seven movements, each built upon a separate biblical text, and each an individual piece of music in itself. Such a composi­tion, as an organic whole, derives its forceful and moving impact from its emotional effect upon the listener. The music must be emo­tionally suited to the text. When considering the purpose of such a work, its musical and textual com­plexities, one must be aware of the difficulties • adherent in under­standing and fully valuing its worth. While it is virtually impos­sible, I believe, to remain unmoved by the magnitude and emotional span of a work in this tradition, it is not incomprehensible that the unschooled listener could become restless over its extended length. This restlessness, I think, was present in Wednesday night's au­dience. The music was recognized for its brilliant qualities of lonely lyricism, intensity created through contrast in dynamics, and perfec­tion of harmonic blend, and the audience was, perhaps, swept up by such a noble performance. But, the fact that the Requiem was presented after such a conclusive program as was offered during the first half of the evening's concert, may account for such after re­marks as, "The program was love­ly, but unexpectedly long."

The marks of greatness in. chorale, cannot be over empha­sized. Balance of voice-blend, per­fection of tone and key, startling mood change and fantastic attain­ment of volume, especially with the accompaniment of cello, piano, and tympani, were all there, cre­ated and manipulated through the sensitivity of the director.

The concert, for me, was a grand experience. The quiet soli­tude of the autumn evening was wonderfully disturbed with the sounds of music.

Rare NESCAC Championship Rarely in a championship meet does one see a team shut out

the filed; rarely do you see those five men scoring the shut out tie for first place; and rarely do you see five men tie for a course recm·d.

But, that's exactly how Boston State College took home to1> honors from the NESCAC Championships, held here last Satur­day.

Bob Berg led and paced teammates Tom Dempsey, Ken Dawson, Bnwe Lehane, Louis Ruggiero most of the way, ~til all five men fell into stride and nonchalently pranced over the finish line at 24:05, bettering the course record by seven seconds.

RIC finished fourth, just three points behind Plymouth State.

Outlook Optimistic As Anchormen Prepare For Tough-Season

RIC's basketball forces have be­gun practice in Walsh Gymnasium for the 1968-69 campaign. The team has been working out for nearly two weeks under the direc­tion of coach Bill Baird.

The Anchormen have scheduled three scrimmages this fall in pre­paration for the home opener against Worcester State on Dec. 3. RIC will scrimmage Brandeis, coached by K. C. Jones on Nov. 14, Clark on the 18th and Northeast­ern on the 22nd of November. The latter two Wqrm-up tilts will be played at RIC.

Despite a more difficult sched­ule and the loss of scoring ace Dick Rouleau, the Anchormen ap­proach the coming season with an aire of optimism, based on a pleas­ing blend of experienced lettermen and talented newcomers. Senior co-captains 6' 4" Pete Emond and 5' 10" Jim McGetrick head a list

Included on this year's 21 game schedule is a southern trip in Jan­uary when the Anchormen will face three North Carolina oppo­nents, Livingston College, Western Carolina and North Carolina Col­lege.

The squad is presently concen­trating on their defense, according to coach Bill Baird. The team is in good condition and the coach says that "most of the boys are in fine physical shape and can play extended lengths of time without too much strain."

This year's squad is potentially one of the finest assembled at RIC of 11 veterans returning from last for some time.

Anchormen Drop Final Games by RUDY HERZOG

The Rhode Island College soccer team lost the final two games of the season, losing to Providence College 2-1, and Eastern Connec­ticut 3-0.

Wednesday the Anchormen were upset by a first-year Friar team, as strong winds hampered ball control throughout the game.

A pass from left wing Lionel Jean, to freshman wing, Dave Adamcik, early in the first period opened the scoring, and was the only tally for the Anchormen.

The Friars struck back late in the same .period, as Bernard put away a pass from his center. P.C. scored the winning goal late in the last period.

A powerful Eastern Conn. squad spoiled any hopes that the Anchor­men might have had of ending the season on a bright note.

T)1e Anchormen spotted two scoring opportunities early in the first' period, but were not able to score.

In the second period Eastern launched a strong attack on RIC's goal and goalie, Dave Marzelli was forced to come well out into the penalty area to make the initial save, but was not able to clear the ball. With Marzelli temporarilly out of position and the ball in front of the cage, the action was fast and furious and resulted in a

undefeated Zeta Chi Tigers. The championship game matched the Tigers with F Troop.

A John Landers aerial to Mike Kennedy late in the first half proved to be the winning touch­down. A fourth quarter score by Ron Law put the icing on the cake for the Tigers. Doug Hartley "Mi­nus" Champagne, and Bill Walker should all be singled out for the outstanding job they did in holding F Troop scoreless.
