Harris School OpeningAsked By Educators

A reques t that Townsend Har­ris High School be reopened on the City College campus was sent to Pres ident Buell G. Gal lagher mi Sa turday by the Citizens Com­mittee for the Restora t ion of Townsend Harr is High School.

The s c h o o l was located in Townsend Harr is Hall from 1907 until 1942, when it was closed for economy reasons*. It offered a spe­cial college prepara tory course enabling superior s tuden t s to be graduated from high school in three years , instead of the usua l four.

The n e w l y formed commit tee , advocating the school's r eopen ing :s headed by J . Henry L a n d m a n , and consists of educators on both the college and secondary school levels. It urges tha t a f reshman class be formed in t he h igh school, to be taught by "young City College instructors."

Historically and pedagogical ly, Townsend Harr i s High School proved its worth, t he commit tee asserted in its let ter to Pres . Ga l ­lagher. It continued tha t "grad­uates of the school const i tu te a rostery. of prominent Amer icans , and w e r e a lways in d e m a n d at Colleges, universi t ies , and grad­uate schools." .... ,

Both teachers a n d s t u d e n t s would benefi t from th'eir expe r i ­ence in t he special school , ac­cording to the commit tee . The teachers would acquire va luab le teaching skills in dealing w i t h the superior" s tudents and the stu-Itnts would profit by the en thu-.iusm and scholarship of the rung instructors , the commit tee atd. It also noted tha t the school j ould serve as an adjunct to thej

..curses in secondary educat ion ; fiered at the College. j

The Student Faculty Fee Com­mittee (SFFC) was scheduled to act oh the Tech News' r eques t for an a l lo tment Monday, b u t was forced to adjourn at 4 PM before making a decision. All ap ­propriat ions a re made in closed session.

At Monday 's meeting, the first open meet ing since its inception, SFFC heard discussed the pros and cons of a technology news­paper . It was brought out that , in order for an organization to receive s tuden t fees, it mus t be in existence on the campus for six months .

Professor Egon Brenner, (Elec­trical Engineer ing) took issue wi th this rul ing, saying that " the six months rule is stifling s tudent activities. Fee plan should en­courage s tudent activities, r a the r than h inder them."

However, Mr. Phil ip Bru.-cl-s te t ter (S tuden t Life), Cha i rman of the commit tee , pointed out tha t in the pas t all publ icat ions "had to prove themselves before they .receive funds." He said tha t this s tep was t aken in order "to preven t a fly-fby-night organiza­tion from set t ing up, receiving

fuses to allocate any money to the newspaper , it could mee t i ts expenses by receiving a financial grant from TIIC. Money for such a newspaper is already provided for in TIIC's constitution.

Comment ing on the open mee t ­ing, Mr. Brunds te t te r sa id its purpose was "to invite s tudent opinion of a wide va r ie ty on budget a l lo tment to school organ­izations." He als said t ha t the open hear ing would be a n oppor­tuni ty for s tudents to "tel l us how they feel about the budgets under discussion."

He will be employed b y the City College F u n d and wil l be associated wi th the division of s tudent activit ies of the Depar t ­ment of S tudent Life.

Mr. Stalb was described as a man who is "chronologically old, but young in s p i r i t " by Dean James Peace of the D e p a r t m e n t of S tudent Life. He added tha t a man of Stalb 's quali ty is a wel ­come addition to the D e p a r t m e n t of Student Life and is ideally equipped for his job.

Strutting around the school w i th a small Qjgar^ stuck in his mouth, Julius Maidoff represents one of the avant guard in Art at the College. " <^— — —

This last month Maidoff ex- attempting to hibiXed a number of his works at the City Center Art Gallery. Al­though he is only twenty one, his work was found to be unique and mature enough to be chosen by the judges of that gallery.

Maidoff started his education in Art at a young age. He studied at Cooper Union and the Art Stu­dents League in New York. The Museum of Modern Art exhibited one of his prints when he was twenty years old.

During this last month he sold four paintings which were on ex­hibition at the City Center Gal­lery. One of these paintings was bought by a young choreographer who later sent Maidoff tickets to one of his own dance creations at the City Center Ballet. Maidoff warmly observed that it was a sort of aesthetic exchange: one creation for another. He express­ed the opinion that his '"objec­tive" in ai-t was communication, and that one of his greatest pleas­ures was hearing from people in different parts of the country who appreciate his work.

He claims his style is closely connected with German expres­sionism but hesitates going into the technical aspects of it, fearing a misunderstanding with his au­dience.

During the vacation months, Maidoff went to summer school and worked as part time short order cook at the. nearby Clarinet luncheonette. This job proved to have a two-fold effect; providing the necessities of life which only money can buy, and a place to exhibit some of his work.

Although Maidoff is an artist, ke should in no way be confused with a Greenwich Village oddity. It seems that the days of bohemi-am have been over-commercial­ized, perhaps he represents a new tope of artist—an artist that is

As college students who had to skimp on expenses, my traveling companion ^and I insisted on the cheaper rate and got it.

For the $15 w e paid daily, w e received accommodations in the Soviet Union's finest hotels (most of them built before the Com­munist revolution), three meals a day, the size of wfhich can best be described as staggering, chauf-feured cars at our disposal, an interpreter and guide whenever w e asked for one, for as long as w e needed him and 1,000 kilo­meters of 'free- train travel for every day days of service bought. Judging even by American stand­ards, we considered this a bar­gain.

The visitor to the USSR, how­ever, is not forced to buy "In-tourist" service. He can, if he wishes, exchange his rubles for dollars at the official rate of four "rubles to the dollar, a rate which even government officials admit is ridiculously unrealistic. If the visitor who chooses to l ive in this way wants to get the kind of

integrate himself f service "Intourist" provides him, even without interpreters and guides, it will cost him upwards of $50 per day. '"Some people try to do without our service," one •Intourist" official told me, 'Tbut

sooner or later,'"' she smiled, "they come to us."

Since my return from the So­viet Union, many people have told me that, "they let you see what they wanted you to see." Actually, this is not true, if for no other reason than that I saw many things which I am sure

two obvious reasons for it. First of all. inhibiting the

movements of tourists would not serve the government's purpose. If a visitor is told where to go and where not to go, he is not very likely to return home with a report praising the hospitality of his hosts and the Russians

This freedom of movement which the Russians give their tourists is not difficult to under­stand. There are it seems to me,

They are sure that the visitor will appreciate, as they do, that the Soviet Union underwent a

! costly and destructive war. They are sure the visitor wi l l under­stand, as they do, that what is not perfect now, will be perfect at some time in the future when "true Communism" wi l l have re­placed the "current transitory state of Socialism."

And it must be said that the Soviet assumption is not wholly incorrect, for so pleased are some of the tourists wi th the unex­pected freedom they enjoy that they tend to lose sight of much of the squalor they see in their free movement about the coun­try.

Hebrew is again a living language^ and it is being taught at the College virtually as it was written thousands of years ago in Biblical

times. The rebirth of Israel as a nation revived the ancient tongue is a spoken language. <•

As a result of these events, He-rew began enjoying new popu-

llarity in institutions of learning all over the world. The College's Hebrew Department has a com­plement of ten courses, four re­quired and six elective, for inter­ested students. The language has changed very little in the course of time. Hebrew is considered easier to master than most lan­guages because of its regular

"fgrammatical pattern. The classes, Iconducted by Professor Abraham Halkin and Mr. Marvin Feinstein, are very informal.

Advantages Professor Halkin emphasized

that Hebrew as. a foreign lan­guage, has distinct advantages for the average student. "The only way to really understand the Bible is to read it as it was ori­ginally written, in Hebrew." He also saw trade with Israel in­creasing, ft condition that he felt would make the value of the tongue comparable, though not equal, to Spanish and French. "Most students of foreign lan­guages," he added, "do not have the chance to use the language conversationally. The Hebrew Discussion Olub affords the stu-denjt a chance to keep the lan­guage fresh in his mind."

Mr. Feinstein noted a distinct improvement in working condi­tions. "We used to have classes in Room*51, JTinley Hall. It was so cold there during the winter that everyone would sit in class with overcoats oh. We even opened the windows to let some

'warm' air in. Our new rooms are considerably better."

The Hebrew Department mem­bers feel that the language, is ap­propriate for study, regardless of religion. Mr. Feinstein recalled one student, -a Japanese, who said to him: "The object of life is to learn the wisdoms of the world. Hebrew and the Bible is one of the world's great wisdoms."

R'klyn, Queens Train Nurses

A two-year training program, designed to relieve the current shortage of nurses, has"gone into effect this term at Brooklyn and Queens Colleges.

Working under the sponsor­ship of many local groups, in­cluding the Board of Higher Education, and the Teacher's College Division of Higher Edu­cation, the program has a two­fold purpose: to speed up the present three-year training pro­gram, and to integrate a profes­sional training with a Liberal Arts background. It is hoped that this integration will attract more people into the field.

At present ninety-nine stu­dents are enrolled in the pro­gram. Their ages range from seventeen to fifty.

According to- Professor J . M. Wolfe, Director of Vocational Studies at Brooklyn College, the nurses in training at that school will be fully integrated with the other students in all courses, ex­cept those directly related to their careers.

Bloc table seats will be sold to groups wish­ing them. However, "this affair is being run on a first-como, first-served basis," Israel empiu -ized.

"This promises to be the big­gest event the College as a whole has ever seen," Israel declared. "There has long been a need for a school-wide prom to take us definitely out of the 'subway col­lege' class, All students should show school spirit by supporting this."

The prom is a project of the Student Government. Ira Kiosk, Student Council President, has described it as "right in line with Council's policy of giving the stu­dents tangible results of their Student Activities fee. The other municipal colleges have been having proms, and it's about "time we fell into step."

SUCCESS STORY. . .

AMD HOW IT STARTED.. . ADMIRAL BROCKMAN soys: "I prepped

at Baltimore Polytech, found I liked math and electrical engineering —

required subjects for a Navy career. But it was getting licked in lacrosse

by the Navy plebes that got me interested in Annapolis. My break on

an appointment came when two ^ ahead of me failed on exams. I worked

hard to graduate, got into sub class,

did some teaching, eventually earned my own sub command."

quarter and were never headed. Johnny Koutsantanou led- the Beaver attack with two goals while Morris Hocherman and Gus Naclerio each tallied one marker. Novak Masanovich, Vahe Jordan, Bob Hayum and Eddie Trunk turned in great defensive games, while goalie Wally Mei-son allowed the Aggies one tally in the three periods that he per­formed in the Beaver nets.

Lavender Booters Lead The Lavender Booters tallied

their first goal at the three-and-one-half minute mark when Johnny Koutsantanou scored on a head shot after Gus Naclerio fed him a soft lead pass. Six min­utes later Walt Smith, Aggie full­back, prevented a Beaver goal by knocking the ball out of the nets with his hand. Gus Naclerio was awarded a penalty kick which he sent into the goal to the right of goaltender Walt Sta-wecki to make the score 2-0. With si'Vim minutes remaining in

Upsala, 27-30; Kowahki Stars

By TED JONES Beset by the loss of last year's top performers and this year's

early season injuries, the City College cross-country suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of Upsala CoUege of New Jersey by the close margin of 27 * 30 in a meet held last Saturday over the New Jerseyites home course.

It was the second consecutive win for the Upsala harriers, hav­ing bested Newark Engineering College the week before last, and

j their first win over City College I in three years. The victors were led by co-captain Everett Erick-son who finished first with the winning time of approximately 29:00. Bill Douglas of Upsala fin­ished second. The hill and dalers of Upsala also placed fifth, sev­enth and tenth respectively.

Finishing first for the Lavender harriers and placing third in the meet was Bill Kowalski in the time of 30:14. Closely on his heels and finishing fourth was Rick Hurford. Jim Spencer placed sixth for the Brucemen.

Co-Captain Gene Forsyth, the man Coach Bruce was counting j ularly.

on to carry the mail for the Bea-vers this year and balance some-what the loss of last season's stars Tom O'Brien, Bob * Armstrong, and Paul Pavlides, started, but due to a'damaged heel not suf ficiently healed, developed lame­ness and finished badly in ar-rears. A sign that things could be better for the team in the future was the strong showing of Jim Spencer, running cross-country for the first time. Spencer has developed rapidly and should be a deciding factor in the outcome of future meets*

Slow Track Kowalski's time of 30:14, while

not particiulariy fast, can be dis­counted due to the poorness of the Upsala course. In Van Cort-landt Park the harriers can be expected to break 30 minutes reg-
