This recommendation, while similar to the pro- posal made last week by the Administrative Coun- cil 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 Cover-;p|p| nor ; Hill the possibility i p ^ | of a $400 tuition fee,il to be offset fori| most students wholl do not now pay tui-|| tion, by state, Fed-11 eral and city schol-fl arships a planfl similar to -the- oneil proposed aaid then ig withdrawn by the ::?::; Administrative President Buell Gallagher Council when it eli- Urged Plan's Acceptance cited a hostile reaction from the academic commu- nity. - • ; Under the change proposed, by the Commission's education staff, the state would maintain the CU as a separate institution apart from, but coordinat- ed with, the State University. Virtually the total cost of the City University would be shifted to the state.

The Com- mission believes that the city, in continuing its fi- nancial support for the university, is assuming a re- sponsibility that rests with the state." BHE Chairman Gustave Rosenberg declared his opposition last week, to any move that would give control of the City University to the state. "If by transferring financial responsibility to the state, the report means we should turn over control to the state, I am vigorously opposed," Mr. Rosen- berg said. Last week.

Opposes State Control In a letter to the Governor, he recommended that "the funds you in- dicate are available for such additional colleges be transferred at the earliest possible date to the City University." The fate of the new proposal which has been accept- ed by the Administrative Council, largely at the urg- ing 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 status of that recommendation. Under this plan the state would pay for the entire operatinc budget of the CU, while bonds would be floated, using funds to finance the interest on those bonds. The Board of Higher Educa- tion last night rejected the re- signation of City University Chancellor Albert H. Bowker, Dean of Studies Harry Levy, Brooklyn College President Har- ry Gideonse, and Hunter College President John Meng, and urg- ed them to reconsider. The four announced Saturday evening that they were quitting their posts after they were re- buked by the BHE last Wednes- day for advocating the Bowker "shadow tuition" plan. Bowker and Levy had asked that their resignations be con- sidered "effective immediately.' Gideonse and Meng had announc- ed plans to i^tire at the end of . their year. The BHE had demanded the "undivided fealty" of its admin- istrators to its policies on Wed- nesday. The Board last night de- fined "fealty" as "loyal coopera- tion." "That any person should have misunderstood the sense in which the word [fealty] was used is a source of regret," the Board said in a resolution. A public hearing on financing the City University, to which rep- resentatives of the City and State, members of the Administrative Council, alumni representatives, students, interested private or- ganizations, and labor unions would be invited, was also called for.

Chairman of the Free Tui- tion, BHE, had asked Dr. Gal- lagher not to speak at the Col- lege's Open Hearing on Novem- ber IS.

Following is the text of the SG letter: OPEN LETTER TO THE BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION Dr. Gustave Rosenberg: As students we are confused at the conflict that has so dis- rupted our university and threat- ened to affect its integrity. Al- though there may have been dif- ferences in the past with our president, we have never ques- tioned his good faith, his sense of fair play, and his willingness to discuss matters of public pol- icy openly with students and fac- ulty. One can, therefore, imagine the general puzzlement resulting at the ambiguous and implicitly an- tagonist BHE release of Novem- vor 16, 1905. That this statement wr*.< p r o m u l g a t e d in an executive session (although college presi- dents are normally invited to at- tend) lias raised questions of mo- tive and tactics.

We of the City College of the City of New York reaffirm that academic freedom so necessary to maningful communication among reasonabl men from all sec- tors of the college, commun- ity. Any assault upon the integrity of our president (who is certainly one of the strongest and finest in the country) will be viewed only as an attack on the integrity of our college and the City University whose desti- nies are inextricably interwoven. In particular, we are anxious that no recriminations result from the "Open Door* policy to which Dr. Gallagher subscribed by speaking at our "Open Hear- ing" on November 15, 1965.

Meng called the resolution "only a beginning" and announc- ed that he has no plan to re- consider his intention of retiring at the end of the year. "Nothing was accomplished" at last night's meeting, Gideonse said. "Nothing to change my de- cision." The two resignations and two announcements of retirement 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 "frustrating" and announced his intention of returning to teach- ing. "There is no point," he said, "in spending the remaining years of my life being frustrated." Bowker and Levy did not at- tend the meeting. Meng had opposed the demand for "undivided fealty" in a state- ment Saturday, declaring that, "The undivided fealty of this member of the Administrative Council may be earned, but it can be neither coerced nor pur- chased." Gideonse denied that there was any such thing as a "Bowker Controversy." The shadow tui- tion proposal was merely "pte- liminary," he said. Several meth- ods of financing the university, ranging from modest proposals, to "somewhat bolder proposals" were advanced. No one was ex- pected to accept these plans, but rather to prepare a "workable alternative," he said.

This recommendation, while similar to the pro­posal made last week by the Administrat ive Coun­cil of the City University, raised several new points including:

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.

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.

Courses on the Progressive movement in American History and The History of American La­bor would;'fo*»th<-! first timfc giv* the^e- topics > in-depth treatment. Other suggested new courses are

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

"Soc io-Svs+em

! I AK"

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:

"The Film's courses haw always been

more space than it was using five years ture as one of the most_ potent .conummica- space. Since the Speech Dept. has been ago. He also challenged Richard Anobile, tions forces of modern times demands that constructing their sets there, we have had director of public relations for the Film In- all of us keep fully abreast of this new de- little room to work with — and much ir-stitute, to substantiate charges that pres- velopment," Ralph Hetzel, president of the sure has been exerted upon President Gal Lagher to use Steiglitz Hall as a theatre for dramatic productions.

The passage of a federal bill providing for the establishment of an American Film Academy has added another point of con­troversy. California and New York State are in competition over the location of the Academy. It is expected that a University

responsible activity has taken place.

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."

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."

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."

of the bills ^the culmination of many years p|_ effort and strug­gle." Their passage was aided greatly by "the dynamic leader­ship of President Johnson," he added. Bingham listed the Aid to Higher Education Bill as one of the triumphs of the 89th Con­gress. The bill provides for loans, work-study programs, and grants.

The result of the 89th Con­gress in the area of foreign af­fairs was "not comparable to that of internal affairs," he said. He cited, the new Foreign Aid Bills and the ratification of changes in the United Nations Charter as two of the accomplishments of this congress.

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.

Bingham Calk Shadow Tuition mectims.. "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 govern­ment 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

of the bills "the culmination of many years of effort and strug­gle." Their passage was aided greatly by "the dynamic leader­ship of President Johnson," he added. Bingham listed the Aid to Higher Education Bill as one of the triumphs of the 89th Con­gress. The bill provides for loans, work-study programs, and grants.

The result of the 89th Con­gress in the area of foreign af­fairs was "not comparable to that of internal affairs," he said. He cited, the new Foreign Aid Bills and the ratification of changes in the United Nations Charter as two of the accomplishments of this congress.

Student Government elections will be held on December 1, 2, and 3. Positions open include two Couucilmen in the Class of '66, one in the Class of '68, six in the Class of '69, and three Council-men-At-Large. Declarations of candidacy must be filed in the Elections Agency mailbox in the SG office, Koom 331 Finley, by 5 PM tomorrow.

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

ACADEMIC AIDS P. O. BOX 969

Berkeley, Calif. 94701

Voiced by Bierman, Duchacek 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 i*ight 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 ^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 hijn-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."

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 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.

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.

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-

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.
