Story on Lists To be Printed

The New Leader magazine has agreed to print a 1,500 word ar­ticle on the subject of compulsory membership lists at the College.

This was agreed upon after an interview with the editors of the New Leader magazine by rep­resentatives of the Political Action Committee.

Professor Coleman O. Parsons (English) has agreed to prepare this article.

The Political Action Commit­tee, chaired by FDfR Young Dem­ocrats' president Howard Schu­mann, was formed earlier this term by College clubs wishing to fight membership lists col­lectively.

j Klapper, son of Dr. Klapper, will unveil the plaque.

The Hygiene building will be named after George Wood Win-gate, Class of 1858. During his lifetime he was an Inspector Gen­eral of the National Guard and a member of the Board of Edu­cation.

The chemistry building will be named after Charles Baskerville, a chemistry professor at the Col­lege from 1805 to 1922. Basker­ville was responsible for the de­sign and equipment of the labo­ratories in the building. Charles Baskerville, grandson of the pro­fessor, will dedicate the build­ing.

Name plaques will also be un­veiled for two buildings previ­ously named: Harris Hall, named after Townsend Harris, first Uni­ted States consul-general to Jap­an, who as president of the Board of Education in 1847 was a. lead­ing figure in the move to estab­lish City College; and Compton Hall, named after Alfred George Compton '53, a member of the College's faculty for fifty-five years.

Alumni Croup Refuses Extra Center Money

The City College Fund Direc­tors have denied the request of the Finley Student Center Board of Directors for a grant of $33,000 over the $200,000 given by the Fund to furnish and decorate the Center.

The $33,000 is need to equip the Center completely, according to the original budget plans. The Center, so far, has expended $180,000 of the original gift of $200,000 given by the Fund, an alumni group.

There is still the possibility that the fund may exceed their original gift of $200,000. Dean James S. Peace, Director of the Center, has been directed by the Fund to compile a prioritv list of the items on the original budget yet to be purchased.

If the Fund considers certain of these items essential to the Center, and they cannot all be purchased with the $20,000 re­maining of the original grant. they may grant additional money for the items.

An inter-communication sys­tem between the administrative office in the Center, and a sys­tem of paging loudspeakers in the corridors of the Center are two of the items that will be placed high on the priority list, according to Dean Peace.

Other items* called for in the original budget, but not yet pur­chased are furniture and equip­ment for some forty rooms and lounges, a piano for the Grand Ballroom, and equipment for the darkroom to be located on the

i fourth floor. Monet

Tech Building Renamed For Ungraduated Grad'

By MIKE SPIELMAN High on the list of "the distftiguished alumni and faculty" who

will be honored in the dedication ceremonies today is an alumnus who was never graduated from the College. Despite the fact that General George Washington Goe--^- ——- . thals. the builder of the Panama g 0 0 d h e a l t h F o r t h e s e p l l r ^ Canal never completed his stu­dies at the College the Tech Building is being renamed in his memory.

Goethals, who was born in Broo-klyn in 1858, and is of Dutch parentage, entered the College in 1873 with the intention of be­coming a physician. He was one of the many students in CCNY's history who worked while at-

George W. jSoefhals Ditch Digger

tending the schoc-l. In 1856, how­ever, before he was graduated, Goethals received an appoint­ment to the West Point Military Academy. His appointment was recommended by College presi­dent Alexander S. Webb. He was graduated from there in 1880 as

I the second in his class scholastic-ally, and as his class President.

After graduating, General Goe­thals joined the Corps of En­gineers and had risen to the rank of Colonel when in 1907 Presi­dent Theodore Roosevelt put him in charge of building the new-canal across the isthmus of Pan­ama. This gave him complete con­trol of every activity in and near the canal zone.

He was responsible for 30,000 employees of manv^ different

there were ccynstructed on a mammoth scale, offices, sleeping quarters, k i t c h e n ? , machine-shops, cold storage plants, schools, hotels, clubs, and recreational centers.

Goethals was closely associated Jftl

with the sanitation department headed by William C. Gorgas, who was working on cures for yellow-fevfcr and malaria.

It is a great tribute to the man that despite the many adminis-trational prcfolems he had to deal with, fie still found time to listen to individual grievances. It be­came customary for Goethals to set aside Sunday mornings to dis­cuss any complaints that came to his attention, no matter how triv­ial they might be. It was this kind of attitude that earned for Goethals the respect and even veneration of most of his sub­ordinates.

A businessman went down to the canal zone during the period the canal was being built. Upon his return he was asked what he thought of the project. He answered, "It's a big job but that man Goethals is a damn fool. I offered him $1,000,000 to come to me and he declined it."

Owed Debt. Replying to an inquiry about

the offer, Goethals said, "All my training, all my education, has been at the expense of the pub­lic, in the free schools of Brook­lyn and New York, in the City College of New York and the United States Military Academy at West Point. I owe it to the public to stay here until the canal is- finished.'-*

In 1914 the Panama Canal was opened. Because of his excellent work Goethals was promoted to Major General and he received ^ tht formal "Thanks of the Con­gress."

In 1920, the College also hon­ored General Goethals by giving him an honorary degree.

Goethals, in his later life, was associated with the Port of New York and helped with the plan-out selling assignments.

Dachshunds Act as Hosts To Professor's Students

By CLAIRE KATZ Dachshunds have been playing host to students of Professor

Otto Mueller (Romance Languages) for the last twelve years, and judging from reactions on both sides, the professor thinks they get along rather well. ^ '

Students have been invited guests to discussions at the pro­fessor's house for many years, but the dachshunds are a recent addition. The dogs became a part of the household in 1944, Prof. Mueller said; he now owns four.

At first the students and the dachshunds had difficulty get­ting acquainted, but things have reached a point where the dogs join in the meetings as silent participants. The students have i'ound them to be line com­panions, according to Prof. Mueller.

cordjng to the professor. And with good reason, he adds, for Fritz has officially sired ninety-three offspring. Fritz also has 'heen relatively faithful. Sixty of these pups have been born to the same female, Rosie. "I guess Rosie is worn out too." Prof. Mueller commented.

Dog barks erupt not only from the professor's home, but from many neighboring houses in which Fritz's progeny have been distributed.

ing student activities be initiated through SFCSA;

• Resolved that the student body recommend to the dean of students that all members of the Student Faculty Fee Commissicyn •be elected directly by the Student Council, except for the treasurer of Student Government. No other member of SC is to be a memher of that commission.

Students wishing to- have ad­ditional referenda placed on the ballot must submit petitions to SC. The deadline for these peti­tions, which require 750 signa­tures, is 5 PM tomorrow. Campus has announced that it will circu­late petitions calling for a refer­endum asking for a merger of the two newspapers into a single daily newspaper.

A Correction It was incorrectly stated in

Tuesday's Obserralion Post that five Hygiene Department mem­bers had received promotions. The fact is that they only have been recommended for promo­tions, as have many instructors of other departments, to the Board of Higher Education.

We hope the incorrect asser­tions did not cause any embar-rasment to the individuals who were mentioned in the story.

students however, having spent two summers on a French vo­cabulary for the students in French 3 and 4 classes. The list is in wide use by the rest of the department.

His interest is animals has gone beyond dogs, and in his younger days Prof. Mueller re­calls, "I did a lot of hunting and fishing but now I am sadly out of practice." The professor raised the prize hunting dog in Ger­many's 1918 competition. Re­c e n t l y , he was unanimously elected faculty advisor to the Hunting and Fishing Club, whose name, at his suggestion, was changed to Rod and Gun Club.

Prof. Mueller, who arrived at the College in 1931, is a special­ist in the history of the French language. He is trilingual (French, German, and English;, and the dogs, he claims seem to under­stand him in all three.

wMiss 1970"

.Miss Francesca Borgatia is the winner of the "Miss City College of 1970" contest spon­sored by House Plan. She will crown the Queen of Carnival at ihe Saturday wight affair.

The daughter of Mr. Robert E. Borgatia (Art), the five and one-half year old Miss Borgat­ia has hazel grey eyes and brown hair. She stands exactly four feet fall and weighs fifty-one pounds. At present she has no steady boy friend, but offers are expected soon.

Coffee Break for Aldermen led to Formation of College

The cost of educating 1000 students at the College in 1847 was only four times what it cost to supply the Board of Aldermen with oysters and coffee! This was one of the convincing arguments that Townsend Harris used ' n npr-^ -

m per suading the City fathers to es­tablish an institution! for free higher education. The building bearing his name will be rededi-cated today as part of renaming ceremonies.

Harris, who was president, of the Board of Education in 1846 and 1847, was instrumental in the founding of the Free Academy, which later grew into the City College of New York. In . the course of his fight for public college education, he encountered opposition on all sides, including his own Democratic Party. , It was necessary for him to per­suade the State Legislature to pass a law authorizing the es­tablishment of a Free Academy (by New York City. Although he was successful, all of his victories were by slight margins—one or two votes at most.

In his fight for the Free Acad­emy, Harris had to overcome the violent opposition of Colonel James Watson Webb, publisher of the Morning Courier and En­

quirer, who violently opposed creation of a free municipal col­lege. In 1869 Alexander S. Webb, hero of Gettysburg and son of James Watson Wdbb, became the second president of the City Col­lege of New York.

A career politician, Harris also served as the United States' first Consul General to Japan, and earned a reputation as an out­standing diplomat.

cheologist who discovered King Solomon's copper mines in ihe Negev Desert, and his port pm the Red Sea, will present an illustrated lecture in the Town-send Harris Auditorium today ai 12:30 PM. He will <use color slides in describing his explora­tions in the Negev from 1953-1955.

One advantage for the Beav­ers is the small dimensions of the Wingate Gym. One of Columbia's chief assets is speed, and a small court can, slow down a fast team. The Lions might find it more difficult to fast break than they normally would on a larger court, and the game may be de­cided under the boards. The Beaver iboardmen. Jensen (6-4), and Levy (6-9) are taller than Columbia's big men. and if City can dominate the rebounding, the cagers will have "a much better chance.

Alex (Delia, who scored seven­teen points Saturday playing with a bad leg, .is in good shape and will start at center. Julio Delatorre, who tailed twelve against the Panthers, and Ellis Breaux, will probably start at the forward slots. Steve Marks.

Hunter also lacks height. Bob Sack and Dick Scott are the tall­est starters at 6-3. Bob Schwabe (6-1), Edgar Milan {6-0), and Ira iSchwartz (5-10) round out the starting team. Fleischer likes Schwartz "every bit as much as Chet Forte as a little man."

Nhnrods Face Fordham Univ. In Dual Meet

The sharp crack of twenty-two caliber Winchesters will be heard tomorrow at Fordham Univer­sity, when the Beaver nimrods invade the Ram's rifle range for a dual meet at 5:30 P.M.

"This will be one of our tough­est meets," reports rifle mentor. Sergeant First Class Arthur Ca-riddi, "but if we can shoot as well as we did last week when we defeated Seton Hall and New York State Maritime Academy, we will have a good chance of winning Friday's tussle."

Cariddi is impressed by sev­eral of his newcomers. Moses Tawil, Joe Pearlman, and Louis Rubin, all have looked good, and the mentor will be counting on them in the future.

Besides team high scorers Sal Sorbera and John Marciniak, the Beaver mentor is counting on Morton Solomon, Steve Madigan. Norman Hess, Werner Hartl Ernest Trump and Robert Sulli­van to carry the load against the Rose Hillers. —Mallin

Matmen Meet First Opponent LI Aggies, Sat.

BY BOB MAYER Amid all the excitement gen­

erated by the basketiball and soc­cer teams, the College's wrestling squad has been practicing almost unnoticed for the past month. However, the grapplers will come come in for their share of the limelight beginning Saturday, when they open their season by opposing the Long Island Aggies in the Goethals Gym at 2 PM.

Since several early season scrimmage contests in which they were defeated, the wrestlers have been working extra hard, at times spending more than three hours at a clip on the mats. The result has been a marked im­provement, which has led coach Joe Sapora to declare that "the season's prospects are bright."

Lightweights Carry Squad The main reasons for his op­

timism are his lightweight wrest­lers, who comprise the heart of the squad. They are: co-captain Sal Soxbera (123 pounder), Al Taylor (130), Vince Norman (137), and Sonny Golia (147). Golia, a sophomore, is a new man for whom Sapora has the highest re­gard.

The coach is ccyunting most heavily on that quartet. "If they wrestle the way I expect them to, we'll surely win,'' he said.

In the heavier divisions, the leading grapplers are Ira Zing-mond (157), the other co-captain, and Jim Zoubandis (heavy-w-eight).

Rounding out the squad that will face the Aggies are Bernie Stolls. and Al Wolk or Bob Sie-gel, in the 167 pound and 177 pound divisions, respectively.

City Swimmers Open Season Against Manhattan Tomorrow

The College's swimming team will be host to Manhattan in their season's opener tomorrow night at 8 PM in the Wingate Pool

The time was when a City-Manhattan swim meet was over before it started, with the Lav- " ender an easy victor. However, this will be a fairly close contest, due to the fact that their captain-elect, Ben Trasen, and Steve Kes-ten, two free-stylers, have been declared ineligible, and three other record-holders have em­erged from the water for the last time.

Kesten holds the standard for the fifty-yard freestyle event, Bob Kellogg for the 220-yard breast-stroke, Lou Ruffino in the one-meter dive, and the illustrious Howie Schloemer in the 220, 440, and the 150-yard individual med­ley events.

But, in spite of all the City losses, Coach Jack Rider asserts, and Jasper mentor John Sich confirms, "City shouldn't experi­ence too much trouble beating Manhattan.

Hopes for a successful swim­ming season rest greatly on the broad shoulders of Lavender frogman J im Johnson, who has the potential to make City fans

forget all about Schloemer. John­son has looked great in practice sessions, and has unofficially sur­passed some of Schloemer's marks, and one by Leroy Weiner, which was established in the 100-yard freestyle in 1942.

Two others on whom Rider will depend on during the forth­coming season are Sol Stern and Joe Weissman. Stern has shown very well in practice and mighL usurp the number one back­stroke position from Arnold Far-ber, holder of the College record. Weissman is a transfer from Hunter College, and is being-counted on to fill the trunks of Ruffino in the one-meter dive.
