"Madwoman" Opens Wednesday Nile

Giraudoux's comic fantasy, The Madwoman of Challlot, will be the second major production of the Drama-Speech department. This contemporary play takes place in the Chaillot section of Paris. It concerns the attempts of the Madwoman of Challiot to solve the problems of humanity, the pri­mary problem being that the world is no longer a happy place. With the help of three of her cronies, the ragpicker, and many of the "underground" types of her area, she accomplishes this quite satisfactorally.

Judy Lane is featured as the Countess, and the other three madwomen of the play are played by Leslie Shreve, Maria Cellario, and Diane Ford. Sal Mistretta, Kathleen Bishop, Bob Morris, Tim Jerome, Mike Witmer, David Brez­niack, David Burrow, and John Smith are also featured players in this amusing comedy.

The play opens at the Little Theatre in DeWitt Park next Wednesday, November 18, and will give its final performance on Saturday evening, November 21. The Madwoman of Chaillot is being directed by Mr. Pritt, and the settings and lighting have been executed by Mr. Forward.

Curtain time for the production is 8:15. The box-office is open now. Each Ithaca College student is entitled to one Free ticket upon presentation of his ID card at the box office.

Have a happy, happy Friday

He is a business administration major and was an active member of student council and various committees in high school.

The United Freshman Students plan to unify the freshman class. They hope to have more and better activities.

The RPBS-Responsible Party for a Better School-led by John Rosen, will attempt to make stu­dents on the downtown campus feel more a part of the activities on South Hill by giving them bet­ter representation. They will at­tempt to have practice rooms available for non-music majors. They hope to coordinate the activities so that more of them are held on weekends instead of weekdays. They would also like to see a date lounge opened.

John Rosen is a Biology major from Manhatten. He was an active member of his student council in high school. Richard Pagano, candidate for vice-president, is also a Biology major whO hails from the Bronx. He is a member of the Ithaca College Newman Club.

THE ITHACAN, NOVEMBER 13, 1964, PAGE 2

Apathy Amended The student newspaper of a school is expected to function as

the voice of the students and faculty, news and information source, gripe center and a public relations medium betwten the school, par-ents, and alumni. •

It is in a touchy situation-a simple matter of not being able to please all the people all the time. There have been vari?us opin­ions expressed about the paper. We present these, along with a few of our own.

For instance there must be a paper out every week regardless of content, vacations, or examinations. It seems to be a common be­lief among IC students that staff membe_rs are exempt from their studies in order to serve the student body. After all, over two thousand individuals are terribly disappointed if the paper does not appear in the Union on the dot of two on Friday-and only about twenty people suffer if publication happens to interfere with their studying and if they do poorly on examinations and papers. The staff is likewise expected to spend their vacations in Ithaca making sure that there is a paper the second the students are back on campus. The fact that nothing has happened occurs to no one; the staff is expected to make the news as well as report it.

The matter of content is regularly discussed. For example, we heard a remark not long ago that one of the columns was not ap­preciated. The complaint was given in much heated detail. But when asked if he would like to put his complaint in the form of a letter to the editor so that others mi~ht hear his viewpoint, the gentle­man said he didn't know, he didn't write so well. Everyone com­plains, but no one has energy, nerve or interest enough to do some­thing about the problems.

Still another problem is the matter of complete reporting. It is more than possible that something escapes the "watchful eye" of the paper. In order to insure that coming events, news events and announcements of all degrees of importance are received by the paper, it is suggested that the secretary of each organization, or a key person involved either submit the information to the paper, or contact the staff so that a story_ may-be written. Don't wait until a week later and say sarcastically that you are grateful for the cov­erage you received. We do not have time to spend every minute of every day worrying about whether we have uncovered all that's happening, likely to happen, or just mi~ht happen. If you value pub­licity as you seem to after you haven t had any, take some of the responsibility and check up on us. We make no claim to being in­fallible.

It is true that everything does not always "get in." The reason should be obvious to anyone who thinks intelligently. If we have enough copy for six and one-half pages, something has to be left out.

As for quality of content, again we say if you don't like what you read, do something about it. Write a letter, offer suggestions, or even volunteer some of your time if you can do better. But don't come to the Ithacan office and yell at the staff and expect us to wither and bow to your wishes.

We're not as bitter as we sound, but we are terribly tired of giving the best that we have to a student body whose great majority give nothing and expect everything.

Everyone wonders why apathy is ~o over-worked. You over­work it, not the paper. When Student Council can only spare five minutes to discuss cheating in a disinterested manner, what should we conclude?

We will no longer scream apathy, because interest in anything other than ourselves seems to be lost in our generation. We have been pampered and babied, and our selfish Jack of concern shows it.

We change our accusation to "Lazyl"-mentally, physically, and spiritually lazy. It is ju'st too much trouble to become involved. -And so a young man is stabbed in a metropolitan street and no one will come to his aid. Are we any better than those people who turned their backs on him?

Th.is paper, this school can be no better than the students who attend it. If you're not happy with it, you are the ones who must dare to change it, and not just a handful of student leaders.

Dear Editor: This year Pi Theta Phi, the

physical therapy fraternity of Ithaca College, is striving to sup­ercede all previous attempts at becoming a ·professional fraternity in every aspect.

In accordance with this new policy, the fraternity has not only decided- to publish a Newsletter which will be sent to practicing

· therapists throughout the country, but in ad_dition, we have raised our standards of pled~g.

Pledges will no longer be hu­miliated, but will be treated as equals-potential members of a group devoted to the rehabiliua­tion of others. Instead of shining shoes, our pledges will be volun­teering their time at the Cerebral Palsy Clinic in Ithaca. Instead of receiving demerits, they_ will be investigating the meanings of various terms related to therapy. Instead of degradation, there will be mutual respect between all 'members and pledges. Through. these revisions in attitudes and pledging procedures, we hope to make the pledge period a valuable experience for all.

We of Pi Theta Phi are proud of ·our new program and have therefore decided to present it to the student body and faculty so that you, in turn will be proud of your fraternities.

Dear Editor: Nearly every two weeks a mo­

tion for the abolition of the Sun­day Code of Dress is presented and defeated in your Student Council. The last time the motion did not even receive a second. I disagree with the rule for two reasons.

First, the students do not have a choice whether or not to pay for the food served in the cafe­teria They are told that they must pay for the meal but must meet further restrictions in order to eat it in peace.

Second, the Sunday Code of Dress is a law passed by a rep­resentative student body. Mr. Deutsch, our new chairman, said that the student body speaks through the Student Council. This rule is not my speech: is it yours?

I ask the following of Student Council:

1. Next Thursday, Nov. 19 vote on the abolishment of the Sunday Code of Dress

2. Publish and circulate (before this meeting) the names of the members of Student Council and whom they theoretically represent.

3. Seek out the opinions of your constituents

I ask the following of the Stu­dent Body:

1. Contact your representative and tell him honestly what your opinion is

2. Attend the Student Council meeting and see how your repre­sentatives vote. (Meetings are held in the Student Union U-1 and are open to all) ,

Before I close this letter I would like to briefly comment on Mr •. Barneis' defense before MGB. I would agree that one's right to be an individual is not considered important in the eyes of MGB.

I contacted Ray , Feller, the president of MGB, in order to as· certain what it was that Mr. Barneis had been convicted of. Specifically, I asked him what the Sunday Code of Dress contained. He said that he~didn't know .but he was sure he could find it in the minutes of about a year ago. Be­lieve it or not, this obnoxious rule goes as far as to say that "ties must be worn in a proper man­ner." Individualism? I wonder if MGB knows the meaning of the word.

Let's either approve of this Sun­day Code of Dress and obey it, or disapprove and discard this ob­noxious rule. I urge you to do the latter.

·WALRUS By NORMAN L. COUSINS

·'' 'The time has come,' the Wal. rus said, 'to speak of many things.' " Of seeing how the law unfairly - grabs and fines and stings.

Last week WALRUS overturned a stone and· probed an injustice which it has been unable to re­solve. How can the law be ad. ministered justly and without un. due hardship to persons accused of traffic violations?

This past Sunday I brought the problem to · a man who deals with it constantly: the Justice of the Peace of the Town of Danby, In a forty minute discussion with the Judge, his wife, and a neigh. bor about the difficulties involved in the administration of the Motor Vehicle Code, r came to realize that "those people in govern­ment" are as. human as we are and are often able to recognize and handle our problems better than we. The answers with which I had been unable to come up, they had already instituted and tested.

· People throughout the country who have pleaded not guilty to a traffic ticket have found them, selves assigned balls ranging any. where from $25 to $50 · dollars. Those who didn't have sufficient funds, or who could not raise the required sum in a relatively short time, found themselves be­hind bars or changing their plea to guilty.

For more serious offenses, New York City has abolished the bail system entirely and substituted, with great success, an honor sys­tem of guaranteeing· the appear, ance of the accused at hJs trial or hearing, based on a character study of the hidividual con· ducted by a special committee set up for this P11l'pp8e. Such a pro­gram is wonderful indeed, but would be entirely Impractical and too costly for suoh an insignificant charge as a traffic violation.

What has been -suggested is a system of monetary deposits based on that used successfully by the New York Telephone Com· pany for . those people acquiring new telephones. To insure against non-payment of a phone bill, the telephone company requires a $35 dollar deposit from aiI persons in , whose residence they install a phone. Then, if a person becomes delinquent in his monthly tele­phone payments, he merely for­feits his deposit. The telephone company may then, at their dis­cretion, deny him the installation of a telephone in the future. There are no suits involved, no collection agencies, and none of the associated expenses. There is just the acquisition of the de­posit in: default of the delinquent account. A rather unique benefit of this program to the telephone user is that his deposit receives 4% interest from the telephone company for as long as he is punctual in his payments. A tele­phone subscriber could do little better than this at a bank.

Inaugurated into the New York State Department of Motor Vehi· cles, this system could provide a monetary security against a per· son not appearing for trial in a traffic case. If instituted, a per­son, when applying for a new license, or renewing his old one, would be required to deposit $50 dollars along with his application and renewal stub. In cases where a deposit of $50 dollars would cause a hardship on the applicant an arrangement of, for example.

Question: What did you think of the 1964 Electlon?

Sharon Stu

Concerning the state elections between Kennedy and Keating, I was somewhat disconcerted with the results. Both being fine gentlemen, I do feel· however, that Mr. Kennedy is now forced to fill a great man's shoes. Mr. Keating knows the farmer and his needs, while Mr. Kennedy knows only glory and politics.

I was · disappointed with both candidates nominated ·by their respective parties. I wonder along with a great majority of people · how many votes the President re­ceived merely as votes against Mr. Goldwater.

Mitchell T. Welenken

Dick Murdock

I don't think that Kennedy should have run since he is not too familiar. with the state, but I do think that Kennedy is well conversanL with national politics.

I am satiaiied the way it turned out. From the view point of a college student, Mr. • Goldwater might have stopped the draft. Finally I feel that President John­son deserves a full term to prove himself. Carol Painter

New IC Probation Policy Clarified

By Janet Beale As a result of wide-spread

rumors among the student body, the· Editors of the Ithacan have asked me to clarify the present status of probation and the pro­bation advisory system. ln order to do so, It will be helpful If the students remember the following basic principles:

Any student admitted to Ithaca College is judged to be competent of finally graduating from Ithaca College. In a very few cases, stu­dents are admitted at their re­quest when there may be some doubt as to whether they actually can graduate, but it is safe to say that practically all Ithaca College students are qualified to earn a college degree, if they so choose.

This being so, the whole pur­pose of the probation advisory 5Ystem is to help people graduate from college, not to screen out any predetermined proportion and percentage. The faculty and administration of Ithaca College would be delighted if the 1,100 students who entered in Septem­ber 1964 graduated as the 1,100 seniors of the class of 1968. It is, therefore, the basic function of the advisory program to help as many students graduate as pos­sible.

Particularly for · freshmen, the beginning of the school year is a disruptive experience and Ithaca College is committed to the prin­ciple of letting every single stu­dent have a fair opportunity to demonstrate his ability to do col· lege work. In order to accomplish this, it is assumed that freshmen will be permitted a full year of work at Ithaca College, except in the most ·extreme cases when it is apparent that the student has done no work at all. An extreme case would be, for example, the situation in which a freshman ac­cumulates 4 F's and 2 D's for a .first semester's work.

In general, therefore, it sho~ld be said simply that the probation system continues this year as it operated last year. Following the mid-term tests of the first se­mester, students who are doing poorly may be advised to consult with departmental probation ad­visers, but no students will be put on official probation until the end of the first semester. Since students are not ordinarily dropped from college for aca­demic reason until they have been on probation for at least one semester, it follows that, except in one or two extreme cases, freshmen will not be dropped from Ithaca College after their first semester

President Proclaims Ithaca College Peace Corps Week Nov. 29 - Dec. 5

The Peace Corps, in its short history, ~as den_ionstrate? to the world, and especially to the people of emergmg nations, the inherent friendship of the American people. It has helped others to. help them­selves in areas where such assistance has been and con_tmues to be a vital factor in achieving progress toward a better s_ociety.

The success of the Peace Corps has been seen m many ways and in many lands This success has been possible because Americans have been eager t~ serve others, to contribute towards the ?uilding of a better world; in doing this they have found personal ennchment and deep satisfaction. . .

This success has been posSible largely because of the mvolve-ment of outstanding young men and women of college age. .

Many _graduates of Ithaca College have served as volunteers m the Peace Corps. To honor them and to ·honor all who SC;rve or have served ''in the Peace Corps, I proclaim the week startmg Sunday, November 29 and ending Saturday, December 5 as Peace Corps Week at Ithaca College.

I urge that all students and faculty members join with me !n welcoming to our can_il?us a group. of Peace Corps W'!fkers who will discuss the opportumt1es for service and for educational advance­ment in the Peace Corps.

In practice the system would · work as follows. A person is ticketed by a police officer; the accused appears before a justice of the peace and enters a _plea of not guilty. He asks for and is granted a trial in two weeks. On the day of the trial the defendant -does not appear. If, after· suffi-

. cient inquiry into the defendant's absence, sucb action is justified, the justice sends a note to the Motor Vehicle Department at Al­bany where the defendant's de­posit is forfeited. Then, as in any case of jumped bail, the justice may, at his discretion, issue a warrant for the defendant's ar­rest. Jn addition the Department . of Motor Vehicles suspends the defendant's license until such time as a new deposit is effected. This system, although beset by many legal technicalities, would work.

THE ITHACAN, NOVEMBER 13, 1964, PAGE 5

DR. LYONS ASSESSES 1964 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Now that the agony of election

year 1964 has passed it is proper that an assessment be made to determine what the election means for the nation in terms of future government activity and public policy. Admittedly, a Presidential election of the kind endured in 1964 is an imprecise instrument for measuring with any degree of accuracy the de­sires, aspiration and hopes of the American people. The voter was presented with a choice of abso­lutes and not a choice of alterna­tives. Nevertheless, it was over­whelmingly demonstrated that the electorate was in no mood for any type of radical change in regard to the political status quo.

The most obvious conclusion that can be drawn from the landslide proportions of the Presidential race is that Senator Goldwater's negativism concern­ing the role of government at the national level was rejected. The American electorate in rejecting Goldwater placed its stamp of approval on the gene~ trend of domestic and foreign policies' of the previous three d~des. The electorate endorsed the idea that the national government has a proper role to plaY in the con­trolling and planning of the na­tion's economy. At the interna­tional level the electorate indi­cated it was satisfied with the policy of seeking accomodations and negotiated settlements with the communist wo'dd.

Aside ftom these conclusions, there is little else that is obvious. President Johnson ran as the can­didate . of the great political center and thus attracted to his banner a liost of potentially con­flicting groups. The President's candidacy was a classic expres­sion of the political art of plati­tudes and truisms. He~emph~d that be was the candidate of re­sponsible and prudent bearing in foreign affairs, the candidate of moderation and consensus in all things.

Since · such appeals were ade­quate to insure victory against Senator Goldwater and the frac­tured Republican Party in 1964, the President was relieved of the duty of spelling out what his election would mean in program­matic terms. The American elec­torate did not require such an accounting on the part of Presi­dent Johnson. The programmatic and philosophical pronouncements

· of his opponent occupied virtually the complete attention of the news media and the voting public. Mr. Johnson was elected not on the basis of his program but on the basis that his opponent's pro­gram was intolerable to the bulk of the· American electorate.

HOW TO DESCRIBE

In many ways it was ironic that at the very time the Republi­can Party decided to swing de­cisively to the right in the selec­tion of its Presidential candidate, the Democrats were presented with a candidate that stood at the dead center of the American political mainstream. It is signi­ficant that in the recent cam­paign much of the criticism of­fered by the Republicans was di­rected not at the candidacy of Mr. Johnson but rather at the candidacy of his running mate, Hubert Humphrey. Senator Hum­phrey with bis Americans For Democratic Action background presented a much easier target than President Johnson since the President has defied being tagged with political labels ever since his New Deal days in the House of Representatives.

President Johnson, unlike Sen­ators Goldwater and Humphrey, is. not associated closely with a par­ticular political ideology, His

. political stances have changed with the demands of time and place. This characteristic became abundantly clear with his smooth transformation from that of Sen­ate majority leader and a Senator from Texas to that of Vice-Presi­dent of the United States. It was not a difficult task for Mr. John­son to alter his political orienta­tion away from the demand:; of his parochical Texas constituency to that of a national constituency. The President has always followed the policy of mirroring the de­sires and aspirations of those he represented rather than substitu­ting his convictions and yoting his conscience.

An outgrowth of this attitude toward the representative func­tion is Mr. Johnson's proclivity to act in the role of political paclfer and compromiser. The President's strength in the past bas not been in the area of political innova­tion, not in pointing out new di­rections for the nation to take, but rather in persuading, cajoling and encouraging the nation to reach goals that have already been established by others. It is only reasonable to expect that the habits of a life time will continue du.ring the years that Johnson remains in the White House. With this in mind, what does the 1964 election mean in terms of foreign and . domestic policy?

At first glance in the area of foreign affairs it would be e~­pected that basic foreign policy, as well as key appointive per­sonnel, would continue as in the past. lt is probable that Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and White House office assistant Mc­George Bundy will continue in

their roles as chief advisors to the President on matters relating to foreign policy. The process of finding areas of accommodation and negotiating settlements with the communist world will con­tinue. United States.Soviet rela­tions will not undergo any drastic changes but will remain basically what it has been.

In the future there should be further developments in the search to find a basis for nuclear arms control. The spirit of the 1963 test-ban treaty should_ con­tinue on at least this side of the Atlantic. While attempting to find greater areas of agreement with the So~ets, the President is also confronted with a deteriorat­ing NATO alliance. Differences of opinion between United States policy and that of Charles De­Gaulle will continue to frustrate unified action in the Western al­liance under the Johnson Admin­istration. A more militant ap­proach to the problem of Castro­ism will probably be rejected and the present policy of economic and diplomatic ostracism will con­tinue. The new President will continue to face a difficult and very fluid situation in South Viet Nam. This will present the new Administration with some of their most agonizing moments. In the months ahead Washington will probably be seeking some negoti­ated settlement in South Viet Nam if a "peace with honor" so­lution can be found. Nevertheless, President Johnson will avoid, at almost any cost, the commitment of American troops on a massive scale in an Asian land war with North Viet Nam and perhaps Red China. There may be some re­evaluating of basic policy toward Red China, especially since they have become a card carrying member of the nuclear club. This latter task will be approached with greatest reluctance since there is little opportunity for political gain on the "home front" no matter· what the decision.

Nevertheless, the immediate future may hold a more favorable environment for· an east-west "give and take'' than anytime since World War II. The size of the Johnson victory implies or will be construed to imply, that an overwhelming percentage of the American electorate would ' welcome increased experimenta­tion in foreign affairs. This sit-

. uation develops at the very time that a similar ·opportunity de­velops in the Soviet Union for ex­perimentation in the field of for­eign affairs. The new Soviet lead­ers may well choose to broaden and deepen the area of coexis­tence between east and west, Even though basic United States

policy toward the Soviet Union will remain basically the same, the fruits of such a policy may blossom forth as never before.

However, United States foreign policy toward the so-called nations of the "third force" may undergo some change. President Johnson has given indications that he will not suffer the "pin pricks" of lesser nations to the same degree that President Kennedy suffered them. The President's firm policy in Panama, the use of air power in the Tonkin Gulf affair and the authorization of reconnaissance flights over Laos would indicate the selective application of mili­tary power-or the threat of it­by the United States might be more readily forthcoming in some of the world's smaller "hot spots."

The Johnson Administration in the area of domestic policy will certainly place the power and prestige of the Presidency behind those programs of the "New Fron­tier" that hav:e not yet escaped the maze of the legislative pro­cess. Those social welfare pro­grams that have supplied the raw material for partisan political dia­logue in recent years will be pushed hard by the new Adminis­tration. Emphasis will be placed on the strengthening of "coopera­tive federalism" through greater Federal involvement in such pro­grams as aid to depressed areas, retraining programs for the un­employed, redevelopment of our urban areas along with the seek­ing of solutions to such growing problems as mass transit, water and air pollution and the lack of adequate low-cost housing.

The role of the national govern­ment in education will continue to receive attention by the new Administration. It is reasonable to expect that the Johnson Ad· ministration will seek new grant­in-aid programs for public school construction, greater Federal grants for higher education, and expanded program of student loans and perhaps the re-estab­lishment of the "G. I. Bill" pro­gram for those men who entered the service after 1955. The nation will probably again be confronted with the controversy that sur­rounded President Kennedy's Fed­eral aid to education proposal of 196L -The issues of Federal funds being used for the paying of teacher's salaries and Federal as­sistance to parochical schools will again be hotly debated in the country's news media and the halls of Congress.

One of the first measures that the President will tum to when Congress reconvenes in January is that of medicare under the social security system. It is very likely that one of the President's first tests of strength with Con­gress will be over the medicare issue.

The issue of civil rights which dominated the domestic scene a few short months ago might sub­side somewhat during the first year of the Johnson Administra­tion. A period of testing the pro­visions of the 1964 civil rights act in the courts and through the administrative process would seem likely, However, the civil rights issue will remain one of the more difficult problems fac­ing the new President. The Rev. Martin Luther King bas already promised the President that he would personally lead new dem• onstrations in the South when wann weather returns.

The President in pursuing his

"politics of continuity" will be assisted considerably by the out­come of most of the 1964 Con­gressional races. In completing the unexpired term of the late President Kennedy, Johnson worked with a heavily Democratic Congress. In the Senate the Demo­crats held a 66 to 34 edge, while in the House the Democratic mar­gin was 257 to 178. Nev~rtheless, due to the willingness of the "coalition" (Southern Democrats allied with conservative Republi­cans) to cooperate with one an­other, most progressive social wel­fare measures as well as the civil rights bill faced stiff opposition. However, this opposition to Presi­dential leadership in the legisla­tive process was weakened consid­erably by the coat-tailing affect of Johnson's decisive victory, The Democratic bulge in the Senate increased to 68-32 while in the House of Representatives it in­creased to 296-139. The Demo­cratic gains in the House repre­sented victories for the liberal to moderate wing of the party while the few gains the Republicans made in 1964 tended to be con­centrated in the southern states. In this latter case, conservative Republicans simply replaced conservative Democrats.

Therefore, legislative deadlocks that plagued the last years of the Kennedy Administration may be avoided by the new chief ex­ecutive. Like all newly elected Presidents, Johnson will enjoy a "honeymoon period" with the Congress. However, unlike other , recently elected Presidents, John- / son's honeymoon should last longer and not undergo such a violent change as the marriage matures. This does not imply President Johnson is going to es­cape his share of legislative de­feats at the hands of Congress but it does imply that Johnson's share should be smaller and less frequent than those suffered by his predecessor.

In order to assure as much rap­P_ort as possible with Congres­sional leaders, the business com­munity and that great block of political moderates in the elec­torate, President Johnson will continue to advocate and work toward economy in government, call for the preservation of a strong federal system and encour­age energetic action on the part of the state governments to meet the social and economic problems that face the nation. Johnson will undoubtedly seek new Federal programs in the social welfare area and attempt to moderate racial strife by Federal interven­tion but he will do so in the most economical and efficient manner possible and in a manner that avoids to the greatest pos­sible extent the further erosion of state responsibility.

The Johnson political style is to seek unanimity and compro­mise in decision-making, not to step out boldly down new and controversial paths. It is doubtful that the Johnson years in the White House will be years of great innovation. The "Johnson era" will more likely be char­acterized by a process of seek­ing consensus among conflicting interests in our society. This will not be an administration moving toward the "Great Society" in full length strides but rather one that moves with caution mending its political fences along the way.

IC Bom.bs Atnerican lnternat'l 14-8; 3rd 6-2 Winning Season In Row

Mr. Harold Jansen, Director ot sports publicity for IC has provided us with his account of the final ga111e of the :Bomber football 11eason.

"It's been a real good year. I hope next year's club can pick up where this one left off."

This was Coach Dick Lyon of the Ithaca College varsity foot­ball team speaking Saturday after­noon in Springfield, Mass., after his Bombers had turned in, for the third successive year, a tine record of six victories and two losses.

The Ithacans registered a 14-8 victory over American Interna· tional College in the initial grid meeting of the two schools. The Bombers' performance was much better than the score indicates. The Aces' lone score crune on a blocked kick. The deepest pene­tration on their own was to the IC 29.

Ithaca had a 'wide edge in rush· ing, 194 to 128, and led in pass· ing, 83 yards to 36. Denis Slat· tery, senior quarterback, com· pleted 8 of 16 passes for 83 yards. The alert Bombers intercepted four passes, sophomore halfback Dave Barton snaring two of them.

AIC's passer, Dick Kolodziey, failed to live up to his advance reputation. It was not all his fault that he did not make a better showing, for at times his receiv­ers just couldn't hold onto the ball. He completed but six of 24 tries for 36 yards. . All of the scoring came in. a thrill-packed second period. With Ithaca on its own 5, Pete David· son's third down quick-kick was blocked by Paul Mulcahy, sopho­more end .. Senior end Joe Ma­honey pounced on · it in the end zone.

An AIC kick for the ·extra point failed, but after two Ithaca penalties, Quarterback Al Lussier rolled over the stripe for the 2-pointer.

The Bombers immediately charged 67 yards in eight plays. Senior halfback Len Muhlicb and sophomore Dan Iezzi were the sparkplugs. Iezzi picked up 20 yards in one try. An aerial from Slattery to Muhlich was good for 32 more. Iezzi lugged the ball off tackle for the touchdown from the 3. Ithaca tied up the game 8-8

Ithaca clinched the battle after Kolodziey booted a 11 yard punt that settled on the Ace's 30. Three plays later Ithaca iced the game. Slattery passed to Ron Doyon for 11, -and Ithaca an­nexed another first down on the 9 on a short pass from Slattery to Muhlich. Muhlicb tore up the turf for the final yardage. Harris failed passing on the conversion try,

Coach Richard Lyon

In the fourth period Ithaca used rushing plays to march !tom its 8 to AIC 10 where it fumbled the ball away. The Bombers were pounding on the door at the AIC 15 as the game ended.

Lyon commented: "Personnel wise, this year's team was one of the finest rve coached. We played the toughest schedule -we've bad.

"But it was unfortunate-- that we had to get into trouble like today before we would arise to the occasion."

The coach had accolades· for his boys. "The seniors bowed out big, Muh.lich and Foger Hayes had a big day. Capt. Bill Mottola was a real good leader during the season, and played a nice game today. When Bob Glmer bowed out early against AIC be­cause of an injury, Iezzi and Muhlich took over the halfback chores in good style. Linemen Ed Michael and Bob Wehinger also did well on offense." ·

Katz- Interviews Lyon

Shortly after the coaching staff viewed the films of the game, Coach Lyon said that he came away from the films even more impressed with the exceptional job his secondary did in handling Dick Kolodziey, the AIC passer. "Even better than the- job we did on Post's Tom Hespos," he added. The coach also wanted to add the name of Rene Van Cau­wenberge to his list of outstand­ing ·performers for the game. Rene w~ moved to the--defensive Right Halfback position in order to guard John Slombach, the Ace's fine pass receiver, man to man. Slombach only latched onto one pass all day as Rene did a great job of pass coverage.

The sports scribes at the game had something to say about the performers also. Roger Hayes was selected to the weekly ECAC small college all-star team. Half­back Lenny Muhlich received hon­orable mention for the team and Dave Barton, defensive back, h011-orable mention for sophmore of the week honors. The team, as a whole, shared in honorable men­tion as one of the East's best small school teams, just ~ getting into the top ten ratings.

This season was Dick Lyon's seventh as coach of ·the Bomber eleven. Under him IC has bad unprecedented success. Ithaca has never had a losing season under him. When congratulated on an­other fine season, Coach · Lyon immediately sbilted the credit. to his team and to bis coaching staff.
