SEB Votes Down Its Constitution

Following a motion suggested by its president, Jim Florio, the Student Ex­ecutive Board voted to defeat the new Constitution under consideration. (The entire Constitution was printed in last week's Signal.) Upon this defeat, the Board is working under the old, and more cumbersome constitution.

After considerable discussion, the Board decided that the defeat of the newly proposed Constitution was the only real action to take. As some of the board members pointed out, a constitu­tion implies an autonomy; they felt this autonomy does not exist on the Trenton State campus. Board members recalled the many times their efforts had been thwa rted by moving things through "improper chan nels."

After the Constitution was defeated, it was suggested that a set of principles for the Student Executive Board be drawn by the ne xt meeting. These prin­ciples would state the desires and rea­sons for st udent government. The decla­ration will be presen ted for consideration on Monda y.

Labor Party Leader Speaks On Campus Sorority Season Continues

With Open Rushing Period February ninth was the date that initiated a period which, to

many of the women of Trenton State College, will be of great concern and which will serve to heighten the social atmosphere of the campus. On that date, the sororities of Trenton State began their annual formal rush season. As a prelude to rushing, a panel discussion was held on February 7, the

Hugh Gaitskell charms audience with British-American comparisons.

Gaitskell Discusses U.S.-British Relations

In Speech At Trenton Hugh Gaitskell, leader of the British

Labor Party, concluded an informative speech by reminding Americans that "The most single important prospect for peace is Anglo-American Relations," when he addressed nearly a thousand people last Friday night in Kendall Hall. The distinguished visitor spoke here as part of his two day trip to the United States.

After describing myths that citizens of the United States and Britain believe about each other, the speaker discussed differences in attitudes on China, Com­munism, Colonialism, and Europe.

In discussing these four topics, Gaits­kell emphasized the fact that the British believe in negotiations with the Rus­sians and he feels an agreement with Russia is possible. He also noted that Britain recognizes Communist China and said the Red Chinese should be ad­mitted to the United Nations. He also commented on feelings about a nuclear war, issues related to Colonialism, and Britain's relationship to the European nations.

A question and answer session fol­lowed in Allen House Drawing Room. The program was sponsored by the Social Studies Association.

Temple's Dean Urges Council Evaluation

Philadlephia, Pa.—(IP.)—Dean of Men Carl M. Grip said here recently that Temple University's Student Coun­cil is in a strategic position to evaluate its structure. "You will not this year, once and for all, solve all student prob­lems," he said. "But you could make a great and lasting contribution to the student body and the University, and to future students. . . ."

Dr. Grip said Student Council could review procedures, especially those in­volving representation of students and student opinion in the recontinuing dis­cussions of University Councils. He suggested that a commission be formed to evaluate problems, criticisms and sug­gestions concerning the articulation of student representation at Temple. The commission should be composed of rep­resentatives from the student body, fac­ulty and administration, he added.

Student Council's Role In discussing Student Council's role

in the University community, he said, "Our personal point of view, is that while the Student Council may not ade­quately represent the student body, the University has no choice but to act as if it did. Indeed, this is precisely what we have done in recent years."

Dr. Grip said that the University (Cont. in next col.)

purpose of which was to provide non-sorority women with specific informa­tion about becoming sorority members and enabling them to address questions to the Inter-Sorority Council members and representatives who composed the panel.

The New Sorority Rushing System

The sorority system regarding rush­ing and pledging which will be in force this year will consist, first of all, of a series of informal parties which each sorority will sponsor. The purpose of these parties is to provide a means whereby all interested non-sorority women of each sorority and learn about the individual aims, interests, and ac­tivities of their respective sororities. Immediately following the informal parties, a second phase of the rushing during which sorority and non-sorority women will begin the process of mutual selection. During the last week of open rushing, invitations will be sent to non-

Dr. Kinter Requests Compliance To Campus Parking Memorandum

Wide disemination was given last week to a memorandum from Mr. Kinter's office. It is imperative that the contents of this memorandum be strictly adhered to. There are always a few individuals who do not get the word and when im­portant information is diseminated those that do not get the word are the ones who are guilty of infractions.

The memorandum is being repeated here for just those individuals: TO: ALL STUDENTS, FACULTY,

AND STAFF SUBJECT: PARKING REGULA­

TIONS On Monday, February 12 a number of warning notices were issued to owners of automobiles which were either im­properly parked or not registered for parking. The response to these notices has been most gratifying and I would like to ex­tend my thanks ot all participants. As outlined in the "Traffic Rules and Regulations for 1962-63" the following areas have been designated as parking areas: STUDENTS:

1. Old Inn parking lot 2. Industrial Arts parking lot 3. Campus side of Lake Boulevard 4. Athletic field side of Bliss Hall

"has wondered" about Council's repre­sentation, saying it is by portions, not by the total student body,- "Nor are we unmindful of the fact that the organized fraternities and sororities have each year formed a coalition which has won control of Council," he added. (Four of the last five Council presidents have come from the same fraternity, Pi Lambda Phi.)

The question of representation is not one between Council and the University, but one between Council and its pre­sumed constituents, Dr. Grip said. "We would be more impressed if a larger percentage of students participated in the Student Council elections. We have no choice. For us to select students to represent the student body would be specious and, indeed, if I may use the nasty word, paternalistic."

Ed's Note: Perhaps it is time for our student body to evaluate its role in stu­dent government.

FACULTY AND STAFF: 1. Bliss Hall side of roadway to base­

ball backstop 2. Parking area at rear of Woodside

and Lakeside dormitories 3. Parking area on east side of Green

Hall 4. Parking area near Norsworthy

circle VISITORS PARKING:

1. Area at rear of Green Hall Copies of current regulations may be picked up at the Business Office at any time. These regulations will be strictly enforced for the following reasons:

1. Safety and general welfare of all pedestrian traffic on campus.

2. Access roads to all buildings must be kept clear for emergency ve­hicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, police, etc.

3. The general appearance of the campus area must be improved.

In addition to the above memorandum second notices of infractions will be placed on your windshield. These sec­ond notices appear below.

Memorandum You were previously notified that your automobile was improperly parked. Please accept this reminder that if your automobile is again found improperly parked, it may be necessary to have it towed away at the owner's expense. Your voluntary cooperation has been re­quested, but we intend to strictly en­force all parking regulations if such cooperation is not forthcoming.

Memorandum You were previously notified that your automobile has not been registered with the Safety Committee. Please contact the Business Office immediately and obtain the necessary registration sticker. If this is not done within a reasonable time, it may be necessary for us to summon the local police and have your automobile towed from campus at your expense.

The seriousness of our parking situa­tion will be explained to persons ap­pearing at Mr. Kinter's office. Any in­terested individuals who want some satisfaction as to what is being done about the situation should feel free to talk to Mr. Kinter.

sorority women inviting them to attend formal rush parties.

At these parties, the sororities will formally entertain the women of their choice. The latter will have an oppor­tunity at this time to express interest in certain sororities from whom they received an invitation. These parties, extending from March 13 through March 25, are the culmination of open rush season.

On March 27, a Preference Day will be held. Each non-sorority member will list, in order of her choice, all the so­rorities whose formal parties she has attended. Bids to pledge will then be sent out.

Purposes of Pledging There are many purposes which a

period of pledging serves. Just as any organization desires to acquaint its new members with its functions and with one another by means of an initiation and orientation program, so too a so-roriety considers it a necessity that a planned period of united activity pre­cede final membership in that sorority. In order to enable the new prospective sorority members to get to know the members and their fellow pledges better and to provide an opportunity for the sororities to begin functioning as units, the period of pledging has been ex­tended this year. It will consist of two phases.

Unintensified Pledging Unintensified pledging, as the first

phase has been termed, will begin on April 9 and end on April 18. During this period, all pledges will plan, par­ticipate in, and sponsor an inter-sorority service project. Intensified pledging will begin on April 23 and extend to the 27th of that month.

It is hoped by all of the sororities that each non-sorority member who partici­pates in rushing will find this a time of not only enjoyment but will use it as an opportunity to enrich her college life by meeting new people, by making new friends, and thus extend her personal and social contacts with others on the campus.

Marine Aviation Officer Interviews TSC Students The Marine Corps Aviation Officer

Selection Officer, Captain A. J. Ketter­ing, will be on campus February 28, 1962 to interview students for Marine flight training programs. The Aviation Officer Selection Team will be at Tren­ton State Snack Bar to provide informa­tion and interview applicants.

Qualified seniors and graduates will attend a 10 week Officer Candidate Course after graduation and then be commissioned. After commissioning they proceed directly to Pensacola, Florida, and undergo 18 months of the finest flight training available, with full officer status. There are no training commit­ments whatsoever during the school year. All time spent in the program is counted for pay purposes upon commis­sioning—A feature unique in Marine Officer Training Programs.

America's role in today's world places upon each college man the need for in­dividual leadership, confidence, and self-reliance. These attributes are required in business and the professions as well as in the military—Accept the chal­lenge of Marine Corps training—The Marine Corps builds Leaders!

SMOKE SIGNALS An obvious recent change about the campus is the posting of

"No Smoking" signs throughout the school buildings. The policy which underlies this action is, no doubt, much needed. Too often the careless dropping of a cigarette butt will mar the appearance of a hallway or a classroom entrance. These new rulings will lend much to keep up the appearance of a clean, orderly institution. A suggestion, though, is in order here. It seems that student coopera­tion might be greater if an area were kept open for smoking in each of the academic buildings.

To many persons, a cigarette between classes is a welcome, re­laxing break. There is often insufficient time to run over to the snack bar, and the weather, on occassions, makes one very un­comfortable out of doors. With a prohibition of smoking extending even into the restrooms and lobbies of the buildings, the tempta­tion to ignore the rule is stronger than it might be if a suiable smoking area was provided.

Admittedly, this idea would not reach the proportion of a major issue on campus, but it has the possibility of becoming a small area in which mutual student-administration cooperation and good will may be demonstrated.

To the Trenton State College Community and Guests,

We, of the Snack Bar, are making a general appeal to the people of our com­munity. At certain times of the day, the conditions of the Snack Bar are very crucial. Many of us complain about the debris left on tables, chairs, and the floor. These conditions are caused by people who use the Snack Bar, and ap­parently are unconcerned with its ap­pearance and conditions. With the col­lege's population as it is, these condi­tions cannot be tolerated. If the Snack Bar is to continue to provide the college community with the purposes and ob­jectives defined, the conditions and ap­pearance of the Snack Bar must improve a hundred per cent.

We are appealing especially to all social organizations on campus to for­ward this appeal to their members since these organizations have the power to bring about the needed changes. Sug­gestions for improving the conditions will be accepted from any one or from any group of people.

As most of us will agree, the Snack Bar provides the college community with many things which we feel impor­tant to fulfill our education. Therefore, it would be reasonable to expect the community as a group to realize the im­portance of this appeal.

A group of students from Paterson State College visited the Snack Bar recently during a basketball trip. There were approximately eighty students who ate dinner in the Snack Bar. These students not only cleaned their tables thoroughly, but also cleaned their ash­trays before leaving.

As many of us may or may not know, Paterson State's Snack Bar adopted the policies of our own Snack Bar. There­fore, we must ask why we should be shown our own polyicies?????

Dear Editor, In the first issue of the State Signal,

I tried to explain to the student body of Trenton State College certain policies regarding the display of the advertise­ment material loaned to Sigma Tau Chi Fraternity by the various film com­panies. Evidently there are people on this campus that cannot read or my wording and communication was not clear enough.

Before going any further, let me re­state this policy .The 8 x 10 stills and 40 x 60 scene mats are loaned to Sigma Tau Chi for two purposes: 1) to give the students a general idea of the type of film being presented (by shots taken on location and various reviews), 2) for general communication. These advertise­ment materials are to be returned to the film companies. If not, the companies may do one of two things: 1) refuse to accept any request for a film from the entire college, 2) set a price on the ma­terials and demand that the price be paid or no more films!

On Monday, February 12, 1962, the display for "Rosemary" was set up. By Tuesday morning 7 a.m. the 40 x 60 scene mat had been removed. I hesitate to use the word stolen for as I said before the person who removed the scene mat may not be able to read.

I would like to request from the en­tire student body their full co-operation in the remaining semester not to handle this advertisment material. It is put there for the benefit of all of you—not just one person to decorate his or her room.

I have just one more request to make. Would the person who removed the scene mat please return it either to Bliss Hall Proctor's Office or the check­out desk in the Library. No questions will be asked.

Just in case anyone does know of the whereabouts of the scene mat, would that person please inform the one who did remove it for it is evident that this person needs to take a course in read­ing and will not be able to read this request. Thank you.

Sincerely, Carl Kurtiak Foreign Film Chairman Sigma Tau Chi Fraternity

Hi! On January 25, having ha d t ie [mi

fortune of an invitation to a B ins' Supper given under the auspices d Queen's College Scottish Nationals Club, I arrived at the Yor k H ouse Hotel in Dundee at 7:30 p.m. This a nnua! event takes place on the a nniversary oi the birth of Scotland's national p o« Robert Burns.

No sooner were the guests (m ost of the men wore kilts by the wa y) ntl

than the strains of bagpipes co uld h heard. Everyone rose as two p ipers it full regalia tramped in followed by a woman who held on a plate a bove her head the haggis.

The Scots take great de light i n tellin; stories of the haggis to gul lible f oreip ! ers, such as the haggis is a bird t in flies, etc., etc. Fortunately for m e, 11 learned of the haggis before 1 l eft tie U.S.A. Actually, it consists m ainly of oatmeal with mutton and sheep's en­trails mixed in. The whole m ixture i stuffed into a sheep's stomach and thti boiled. It quite resembles an o vergrow, sausage.

"To a Haggis" So the haggis was piped in a nd hi:

on the head table before the ch air®! who thereupon recited Burns' "T o: Haggis" and stabbed it at the a p­propriate moment.

The supper consisted first of S cotfi broth, followed by the traditional lass mashed potatoes, and mashed tu rnip This was my first taste of haggis; it spicy and I rather enjoyed it, S cone oatcakes and tea completed th e m eal.

In order for the tables to be cleared we temporarily adjourned to a nothe room and joined in the Sco ttish d ance of the "Eightsome Reel" and " The Gap Gordon." During the entire eveninc toasts were given to literally ev eryboc; and his brother. Scottish songs w m| sung by individuals and by gWiP'l Naturally Burns' poems were re cited, one laddie quite impresed me w ith a beautiful recitation of the le ngthy Ta» o'Shanter." The evening ended a ppro­priately with "Auld Lang Sy ne."

Spare Thoughts Bad News

Last Friday and Saturday, Trenton Sate College presented "Tiger at the Gates," a tragicomedy by Jean Girau-Joux. The play predicted the Second World W ar but used the events leading to the Trojan War as its medium of expression.' The two hour-plus show's ideas wer e easily digested by the audi­ence even with a few extremely slow moving parts.

No ex pense or ingenuity were spared by Dr. Curry and his staff on this fine production. When the lights went on for th e first time, you saw a beautiful modern stage setting which showed the weakness of the c onstruction crew. The strength of Denise Vails' ideas but the gates of Troy were depicted as the strength of Troy. Here they literally failed. The lighting was the work of a

! cr eative g enius but an amateur thespian. Limitations

| The costuming was "exquisite" and I ve ry profe ssional. I certainly am all for

mixing ancient and modern decor but X feel there are definite points of limita­tion. The scenery and costumes reached beyond these limits.

The entire cast did a remarkable job of keeping alive a rather slow moving play and a rather difficult play. But with everything, there were still some exceptionally excellent performances given. Carolyn Stausland as Helen por­trayed her role as though she were a goddess; with a tinge of M.M. for fla­voring. Joseph Myers, as Ulysses, was in one word: magnificent. An extremely fine minor role was portrayed by David Poinsett as the Mathematician. I could go on and list many other fine perform­ances, but you can do this yourself by reading the program for the perform­ance. I would like to say though that the entire cast made one small error in their portrayals: and that was to laugh at their own jokes.

Hungarian Students Request Support In Freedom Fight

Today hundreds of Hungarian stu­dents study at the American colleges and universities. 1,800 of them came to this country after their fight for free­dom was brutally suppressed by Soviet tanks. Many of the things which they fought for at home have been granted to the m in this land. They have been given the opportunity for learning in the field of their choice which was denied to them under the Communist regime. Here they enjoy all the academic freedoms which are only a fantastic dream for those of their comrades who remain in Hungary. Here they live in a country of liberty to which they have come from a land of slavery. Here they have a chance to become useful members of society and do not have to live in fear of being forced to become the tools of an oppressive system. The knowledge they acquire here and the experience they gain will enable them to fight side hy side with you for liberty and social justice all over the world.

* American Aid The welcome you extended to them

five years ago when they came to the hnited States, the friendship with which you have surrounded them ever since they have joined you on your campuses, and the interest you have shown toward their countrymen's ordeal grant them the liberty to turn to you once again for support in their struggle to liberate their country from foreign domination. The fight for self-determination for the cap­tive pe oples has ceased to be the lonely concern of a few, but has become the aim of all enlightened peoples of the world. Can you help? Will you, who have freedom of the speech, be the voice for the Hungarian student who cannot speak for himself?

In the forums of the United Nations the Soviet Union clamors loudly for non-intervention," for "destruction of

colonial system," and for the "with­drawal of foreign troops." Yet it is this very power whose troops intervened into the internal lives of other countries in order to establish its own colonial sys­tem in clear violation of the United Nations Charter and other international agreement.

A few months ago a movement

Flower Bedecked Shrines Commemorate Polish Heroes

W. R. A.

emerged in Europe and South America, led by personalities of such world re­nown as Gabriel Marcel, Jules Romain, Gertrud von Le Fort, Prof. MacCartney and Salvador de Madariaga, to mention only a few. The aim of this movement is to confront the General Assembly of the United Nations with the signatures of ten million residents of the free world who love freedom enough to speak for the ten million Hungarian men, women and children who cannot speak for themselves. The signatures will be in support of a resolution adopted by the Assembly after the Hungarian Revolu­tion urging that

(1) all foreign troops be withdrawn from Hungary;

(2) the Hungarian people be granted self-determination; and

(3) free election be held under inter­national supervision.

The Fight Is Ours This movement has now reached the

United States, where already such per­sons as George Meany and Walter Reuther, for example, have given to it their wholehearted support.

The original resolution of the United Nations, passed five years ago, has nearly sunk into oblivion. The demands, however, which were in this resolution must be raised again. Hungary's fight for freedom is your fight too. By signing the petition, you will strike a blow not only for Hungary and for the captive nations, but also for yourself. Your sig­nature is a reaffirmation of your faith in liberty and justice everywhere.

The signature of one American stu­dent will speak for one Hungarian stu­dent who is condemned to silence. Demonstrate again that the links of solidarity between students of the world are stronger than the chains of oppres­sion. Please sign and have your friends sign the following petition and forward it to Sir Leslie Munro, Chairman of the Special Committee On The Problem of Hungary, United Nations, U.N. Plaza, New York, N.Y.

Last Thursday night, February 15, the girls' interscholastic basketball team was host to Montclair State College. One complete game and an additional half were played, with our opponents winning both. Montclair, with the ex­perience of working together as a team, played well. Although we lacked such experience, we are looking forward to a better outcome in future games. It was good to see so many in the rooting section and we hope such interest will continue.

On Tuesday, February 20, the team plays Monmouth College; on March 1, St. Francis' Nurses; on March 7, Rider; and on March 22, Douglass. All these games away except the one with St. Francis..

With the start of this semester came the reorganization of girls' intramural basketball. Murn Cawley and Mary Lou Schack, co-managers, ask that more people participate, especially non-majors. Games are played on Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. and Thursday at 7:00 p.m.; since teams are not permanently formed, it is not too late to join. Remember, everyone's welcome.

The synchronized Swimming Club is making preparations for their annual water show. This year they will per­form for the Health and Physical Edu­cation demonstration on May 4 and 5, and for the student body and alumni the following week.

The Outing Club has been busy plan­ning new and interesting activities. April 27 is the tentative date for their cave exploring expedition. More details con­cerning this will be given in the near future.

Over the doorway of a Warsaw coffee­house stand four headless saints. The saints are granite statues, neatly be­headed by a playful Nazi machine-gunner during the days of the Warsaw uprising. The marks of the bullets still lace the crumbling wall behind the statues like a chain of cruel daisies.

Less than fifty feet from the door­way of the tiny kawiarnia, small bunches of bright fresh flowers can be seen lying on the sidewalk, grouped around a small brass plaque. Often a passerby will buy a little bouquet from the old women vendors nearby, place them quietly with the others, and pass on, almost unnoticed. The plaque is only one of many such markers throughout the cityl, and they are all garnished with flowers, vivid spots of color on the grayish pavements. They commemorate the sites of massacres.

is "roundup," as cows are gathered for slaughter," our interpreter said. He was a small, blonde young man who spoke with an abstracted air, as if he was try­ing to remember something. "The Ger­mans would seal both ends of a street with trucks and capture everyone who was not indoors. Everyone—including children, women and old people. The next day we would all be required to watch the public execution. To teach us a lesson. We remember the lesson very well now."

Every day, in all weather, the sites are graced with flowers. Polish children who have never seen a German are shown these patriotic shrines as a tra­dition in their education, just as they are often taken on tours of the restored concentration camp at Auschwitz, now under the Polish name of Oswiecim. Everyone remembers.

the West, keeping these scars on the public memory raw and sensitive. More propaganda is directed against Ger­many than anywhere else. Most of the recent Polish films have themes con­cerned with the decay of human values in the degradation of the last war. A huge sign on the roof of a Warsaw train depot warns: "DON'T GIVE ATOMIC WEAPONS TO GERMANY." On the anniversary of the Polish Constitution Day, several of us were walking through the main park of Poznan in a thin, chilling rain. From loudspeakers on poles all around us blared the radio speech of the premier, Wladyslaw Go-mulka, warning once more of the Ger­man menace. We were the only ones in the park, and the metallic voice echoed over the rows of wet, empty benches and the limp red-and-white banners flapping from the flagstaffs. Even after we had left the park, we could hear the voice going on and on to the vacant seats.

Polish Philosophy Back in Warsaw, my Polish host

"father" philosophized over a bottle of cloudy purple wine. "In all our history, the Germans have tried to destroy us," he said. "As long as Russia holds Ger­man land, they can not unite to invade us. But if they get atomic weapons. . . ." He drew his finger across his neck and made an ugly, strangled sound, like a chicken being killed.

He smiled a little, sadly, as he heard the familiar booming march theme of Radio Moscow on the radio in the next room. "Once Poland ruled all of central Europe," he went on slowly. "We had a strong, proud country. Now. . . ." The Russian woman announcer was reading the latest figures on grain production. Pan Gorczynski poured the last glass of wine and saluted me with a hard smile. "Now we work, we rebuild our country . . . and we wait. We are still proud."

ED'S NOTE: Upon signing, return to Signal, Box 500. The Signal will for­ward all replies to New York.

The Library is delighted to respond to the suggestion of the Signal and to report from time to time on what's new within its walls. Currently we are at­tempting to dispel any mid-winter gloom with a bright "South Pacific" exhibit which features the painting of Paul Gaughin and the prose of Herman Mel­ville. Both of these artists contribute to the romantic legend of the South Seas.

However, our business is books and we have some fine new ones clamouring for attention. The Nation on the Flying Trapeze by James Childers purports to depict "the United States as the people of the East see us." It is full of illumi­nating insights, such as the one about the superhighway built with U.S. funds in South Vietnam. "It runs for 32 miles and goes nowhere. The Pennsyl­vania turnpike is not so elaborate."

The Reference Room contains a new atlas case with a fine atlas collection, including the colorful new Life Pictorial Atlas and also a ponderous Soviet atlas, which, of course, is printed in the Cyrillic alphabet. We also have the new McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Russia and the Soviet Union.

Whatever may be one's opinion of it, no one should ignore the new edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, which reposes in splendor on a stand of its own in the Reference Room. Whereas its immediate predecessor, which was published about a quarter of a century ago, was regarded as a final

authority on good English usage, the editors of the present edition have abdi­cated their responsibility and adopted a permissive approach to words and their use. Their policy has been to re­cord how English is used by contempo­rary authors, even by those of slight reputation, rather than to legislate on correct usage. Although members of the French Academy would be outraged by this approach, as was J. Donald Adams in the New York Times Book Review on February 11, yet students will find it a useful and even stimulating tome.

While on the subject of permissive­ness, we would like to mention the rela­tively new signs around the library admonishing silence upon its users. It is to be expected that students will, while studying in the reading areas, confer with their neighbors occasionally. That you do so is not really objection­able. But how you do it may be. Soft whispering, which disturbs no one, can be condoned, but blatant talking out loud, in disregard of the interests of others, cannot. Concern for ideal read­ing conditions is not unique to (or with) our library. You have only to drop by the Princeton University Library, the New York Public Library, the British Museum or the Bibliotheque Nationale to discover that no good library is per­missive in this matter.

We wish you a semester filled with many silent, studious hours in the com­pany of the Great Ideas.

Football Stars Accept Challenge by Faculty

PROFESSIONALS GET READY FOR ACTION

Excitement and some humor awaits the students and faculty when the Phila­delphia Eagles of the National Football League invade the campus for a game with the Trenton State Faculty team on Sunday night, March 4 at 8 p.m. in the gym.

Billed as a super special attraction, the contest is being sponsored by Phi Epsilon Kappa, the professional physi­cal education fraternity. Harry Acker-man and Mike Curry are busy making arrangements for the game.

The Eagles feature regular members of the football team that finished second last fall in the Eastern Division of the NFL. Listed as members of the start­ing five are Bobby Walston and Tommy McDonald at forward, Bob Pellegrini at center, and Pete Retzlaff and Sonny Jurgeson at guard. However, Jurgeson has not seen action this winter due to an injury. Others expected to make the game include Billy Barnes, Clarence Peaks, Timmy Brown, Ted Dean, Irv Cross and Dick Lucas.

Walston, McDonald and Retzlaff ranked among the leading pass receiv­ers in the pros last season. Dean is one of the fastest backs in the league while Peaks has blossomed into a star after gaining All-American stardom at Michi­gan State.

Comedy and Ability Eagle manager, Freddie Schubach,

said this week that the team compiled a 40-2 record last year so their abilities are not limited to the gridiron. Recently, they beat the Baltimore Colts 52-48 in Philadelphia's Convention Hall. Mc­Donald scored 18 points and provided much of the comedy, including a swan dive into the crowd plus jumping for a rebound while astride Bob Pellegrini's shoulders. Another gimmick designed to stop the faculty is when Bob Walston Piggybacks on Lucas' shoulders and guards the basket by shoving his head through it.

Paul Anderson and Mel Schmidt have been named co-coaches for the faculty which has been working out behind closed doors. Others ready for action include John Karras, Joseph Savage, Ed Brink, William Medve, Walter Ehrenpreis, Howard Goldstein, Jay Sanders, John Mcllroy, Champ Carney, and Ray Wheeler. Two stu­dents, Stan Davis and Marty Devlin, have agreed to join the team in case reserves are needed.

Anderson, Ehrenpreis, and Brink re­portedly have collegiate experience while Karras, Goldstein and Medve are count­ed upon to supply strength in re­bounding.

Phi Epsilon Kappa announced that admission will be $1.00 for students and $1.50 for adults. There are no re­served seats and the public is invited. A portion of the proceeds will be do­nated to a charity or scholarship fund.
