According to Rhodeside, as soon as they got out of the build- ing, it went up “ like a tinderbox. I've never seen anything go up so fast in my life," he said. A furnace problem is blamed for the fire which raged from tlie basement and swallowed the roof. On Monday afternoon, the day of the fire, tliree engineers were working on the furnace. Foltz said that Uiey had heat in two of their three rooms that day. On Tuesday about noon, the fire re-ignited itself and was promptly put out by firemen. The building is condemned and will have to be torn down by next week. Foltz summed up Uie experi- ence: “ Harris Apartments are a nice place to live, but!wouldn’t want to die tliere.'* By Larry Marion supremacy, Drexel fraternity life, received an ominous challenge last week when Pi Lambda Phi, right side stairway residents of the Court accepted three female, girl-type pledges. A new constitution, adopted by the 60 ZT recognizcs the girls as the Delta lota Sisters of Pi Lambda Phi and gives the femmme members official status, but little formal power. The girls, juniors Debbie Edmunds and Bev Herron, and senior Mary Alice Diehl, cannot vote in elections-just stay and voice opinions—cannot participate in IF or Na- tional activities (no football centers), and cannot wear the Pi Lam pledge pin. All the Thou shall not...” directives are from the National Pi Lam office; matters not pro- scribed by the national office are under local chapter jurisdiction. “ Pi Lam is a very casual fraternity," states pledgee Debbie Edmunds. “ I'm more friendly with guys than girls, in fact, I couldn't think of a close friend that isn't a Pi Lamb." All three girls have sorority experience and agreed with Debbie that “ sororities didn't do any- thing for them now." Debbie was in Delta Zeta. “ If this program (at Pi Lamb) was here when I was a freshman, I would never have piddled around with sorority," is how she explains her broad jump. Pi Lamb president Glenn (Omar) Smith, much heavier than the dark haired Arabian version of movie fame, said," The executive board has worked for the acceptance of this program for many weeks." The elected seven man executive board are: Smith, Pledgemaster Rich Parente, Vice-Presi- dent Dave Bosewell, a member at large, the fraternity secretary, treasurer and the fraternity marshall. Larry (Jose) Desiano, Co-Educational advisor and impetus of the female pledge program, added “ We talked the idea over, all over the house, getting opinions from the brothers in the house. Most of the older brothers were afraid and skepti- cal, not sure on how they would react (to the situa- tion)." Ten male pledges This term Pi Lam has ten guys pledging under a pledge policy, for males, initiated spring term, 1969. There is no hazing, no hell night, just a “ get to know the brothers" requirement. There is no black-balling, a past practice where any one brother could eliminate a pledge. Now, all the pledges, male and female, remain so until they are considered ready to become fra- ternity brothers or sisters. The vote is done on an individual basis, and is a “positive vote," accord- ing to pledge-master Dave Bosewell — if there is not enough positive sentiment among the brothers, the pledge's initiation is postponed until such time as the brothers feel he or she is ready. A major factor in the new admissions policy stems out of a need to Improve the fraternity image, according to Desiano. “ Both sororities and fraternities are down and need changes," is how the executive board feels about female membership. Rejected in 1968 Female membership was rejected by the fra- ternity in a 1968 election. Times and situations have changed and when the girls become official broth- ers, well, members, they will pay reduced dues of only $30.00 a month, including ten for their spring weekend. The time will soon come when a girl in- vites a guy to a fraternity spring weekend. What happens when these girls get pinned with their sorority and fraternity pins already occupy- ing primary prominent positions, where will she put the third? “ Think of the possibilities" - bob&carol& ted&alice. Neither brothers or pledge sisters are interested in girls in the house, mainly because of a school policy against co-habitation. The three girls say they like their apartments, and would not think of moving. Pi Lamb leaders said it would be the girls' option, not for the school rule. Consequently, the one week in the house requirement for all plages will be waived. Mary, Debbie and Bev all agreed that their par^ ents didn't seem to mind, and since they are all over 21 .... Even if the other fraternities on campus had open admissions, the three girls would still prefer Pi Lam. “ I don't know the other fraternities that well, I've been dating a Pi Lam for awhile," Bev Herron said. Administrative comments As far as the administration is concerned. Asso- ciate Dean of Students, Assistant Dean of Men John Delinger said “ I don't think the administration has any objections, providing none of the by-laws, regu - lations, or arrangements are contrary to existing university regulation. In fewer words: “No girls living in the house." According to the girls. Pi Lam was on a down- hill course two years ago, until the frat started a house improvement program — “ people started coming out of the walls to help. We've never seen them before," is how Mary explains the Pi Lam Renaissance. The girls promptly added that the second unity- inspiring factor was the female movement. A fraternity house is not the only reason the girls joined. They felt that although a house was im- portant, the people inside are the vital aspect of Pi Lamb. As most of the guys consider the three girls as their brothers, the pledging is only a formality. “ The girls have been around the house, know everybody, and everybody knows them. This is just red tape," the sentiments of a real brother, Jose, about his sister. ' Now Pi Lam, next the Drexel Barber Shop? Triangle changes elects editor-in- policy, chief The m e m b e r s of the TRI- ANGLE staff elected Jim Kitch editor-in-chief, last Tuesday, for the coming five months. The spe- cial election ended the seven month reign ofan Editorial Board which was installed last June as an experiment. A meeting to change the constitution was held and amendments were made transferring the leadership role from the Editorial Board to an editor-in-chief. All Board members will be ap- pointed by the new chief. How- ever, the editor-in-chief will be responsible to the Editorial Board. Commenting on present staff members, Kitch said “they have to start caring about what they’re doing and start working to- gether.” While discussing the future content of the TRIANGLE, Kitch explained ‘ ‘the whole paper has to pay more attention to Drexel.” A reorganization of policies, a new approach to attracting ad- vertisers and a push for more re- sponsible and researched news w i l l make the TRIANGLE tlie paper nearly everybody reads at Drexel. ■M V '-'j LOMASKY Jim Kitch, new Triangle editor-in-chief.

    supremacy, Drexel fraternity life, received an ominous challenge last week when Pi Lambda Phi, right side stairway residents o f the Court accepted three female, girl-type pledges. A new constitution, adopted by the 60

    ZT recognizcs the girls as the Delta lota Sisters o f Pi Lambda Phi andgives the femmme members official status, but little formal power.

    The girls, juniors Debbie Edmunds and Bev Herron, and senior Mary Alice Diehl, cannot vote in elections-just stay and voice opinions—cannot participate in IF or National activities (no football centers), and cannot wear the Pi Lam pledge pin. All the

    WASHINGTON (CPS) - United States troop levels in South Vietnam may be reduced to 200,000 men by May 1, 1971, and ground combat troops will number 40,000, President Richard M. Nixon told 12 college journalists January 28.

    This contrasts sharply with the 284,000 figure that has been circulated within the government, and im plies a substantial increase in the ra te of troop withdrawals.

    The president denied making the rem ark , and la te r P re s s Secretary Ron Zeigler issued a c la r i fication to the effect that only the 40,000 figure was co rrec t.

    Nixon also stated that recent a i r and ground actions taken by U.S. fo rces around Phnom Penh were not a violation of the Cooper-Church amendment, which prohibits U.S. ground troops and adv ise rs in Cambodia. Troop levels in South Vietnam as of January 31 numbered 335,000, according to Pentagon sources. If the reduction took place, it would be a substantial 135,000 between now and May 1, or more than 35 percen t of the U.S. fo rces presently in the country.

    The P resident also em phasized that the adm inistration had “ no intention" of placing ground troops in Cambodia. A ir support, however, will be used “ only as I de term ine ." Nixon noted that the Cambodian Army would receive a ir support if National Liberation F ront activities endangered the withdrawl of U.S. forces from South Vietnam (the vietnam iza- tion process), o r to stop the flow of supplies from North to South Vietnam through Cambodia.

    Nixon's rem arks w ere made during an unexpected meeting with college newspapers editors who w ere in Washington for a briefing with State Departm ent officials. The editors also met for 1 and 3/4 hours with Secretary of State William Rogers.

    Nixon justified the a ir support and logistical sup- port of Cambodian troops on the grounds that he

    ALL STAR-FORUM, MCE SEPTEE, Director Presents

    f i r s t outlined during the announcement speech for the Vietnamization policy on November 3 igcg u noted eight tim es since that speech he had stated that “ if the enemy took any action that endangered our forces, I would take ac tions to e n s u r e thp sa fe ty " of A m erican troops.

    The 40,000 combat fo rc es level is the first statement on projected ground com batant strength issued by the P res iden t.

    The 200,000 total troop level figure has been denied by the White H ouse. P r e s s Aide Rob Odle told C P S the P res id en t sa id “ m ore than 200 ooo »> a reference to c u rren t troop withdrawal projec tions. The exact 200,000 f igure has been corrob’ orated by four of the ed i to rs p resen t. If present policy is continued, 284,000 men will remain in Vietnam on May 1.

    CPS asked the P re s id e n t if the recen t Cohimbia Broadcasting System in terv iew with a U.S. soldier who had been on the ground in Pljnom Pelih was a violation of the C ooper-C hurch amendment.

    D om estic A dviser John E rl ich m an angrily inter- rupted with an em phatic no.

    Nixon answered, a t the continued urging of Luther Mumford of the DAILY PRINCETONIAN, with a ten-m inute response outlining his version of the history of U.S. involvement in Vietnam and Cam- bodia, re fe rr in g to the d iffe rences between his and the previous adm in istra tions. It was during these re m a rk s that the troop level sta tem en t was made.

    Apparently the adm in is tra tion had planned the nieeting of just an in troduction between college ed ito rs and the P re s id en t. Nixon made introducton- re m a rk s and showed copies of the recently introl duced F edera l Budget.

    If the new 40,000 ground combat figure was not m erely a mixing up of figures during Nixon's extem poraneous com m ents, then a substantial speed up in troop withdrawals is indicated.

    ro n s tr i ic l iv e criticismI am writing this a r t ic le in

    order to express my belief that the F reshm an Physics C ourse must be changed. I was m otivated to write because I have t)een informed that this belief is nut unique — but that other f re s h men have the sam e thoughts as I.

    The change i n v o l v e s t h e abolishment of the one physics lecture that all sc ience and en gineering freshm en must to le ra te once a week. This lec tu re has proved to be a waste of tim e for the students, in te rm s of u nderstanding physical concepts and relationships as well as apply ing this understanding to p ra c tical problem s. The le c tu re r e sembles a Show -and-Tell s e s sion, where the le c tu re r plays with such things as his E aling- Stull linear a i r track , huge faced stop clock, b a se b a lls ,b r ic k s , and little springs. Half the lec tu re is wasted on these “ d em o n s tra tions” that lead up to a concept or equation which everyone has anticipated. Ideas which a r e now considered to be “ obvious” by most freshm en, such as Newton’s Second Law of Motion, a r e ex plained at a sn a i l ’s pace. Although this allows the students to catch up on som e d esp era te ly

    by David Scliferneeded sleep , it is much more com fortable to sleep at home.

    So that I do not crit ic ize without offering a solution, I propose that the once a week physics lec tu re be rep laced with a re c ita tion c la s s . The physics course would then consist of four re c ita tion c la s se s per week. This idea is very prac tical - the F re sh man N 503 Calculus course c u r ren tly consis ts of four recitation c la sse s per week. The additional physics rec ita tion would facilita te the teaching of physical concepts and relationships because of the sm a lle r , less de-hum an- izing number of students in the c la s s , and at the sam e time would allow for more time to solve a varie ty of p rac tica l physics problem s. Nothing would be lost from the abolishm ent of the lecture . “ D em onstra tions” t h a t might c larify physical laws would be re se rv e d for the physics labo ra to ry .

    I believe that the Drexel s tu dent is intellectually m ature e n o u ^ that he should not be “ bo tt le -fed ” as an infant by the Physics N706 “ le c tu re .” I s in ce re ly hopes that the Physics D epartm ent agrees.

    Editor, Drexel Triangle:

    As a participant in the recent meeting of fre sh men engineers with Dean Dieter, I was dismayed by the T riang le 's coverage of the event. Considering the fact that only one-quarter of the freshm en engineers were present, I feel that a m ore thorough account was warranted so that those who did not attend could be informed on the proceedings. One of the prim ary objectives of the meeting was to explain why the curriculum was changed and its effect on the quality of education at Drexel, a topic apparently deemed not worthy of mention by Mr. McNair. The ultimate goal of the new curriculum is not to make the procurem ent of an engineering degree easie r, but ra th e r to grant the student m ore flexibility and responsibility in determ ining the course of his undergraduate studies.

    The reporting on the question and answer period was both inaccurate and biased. One point that the reporter(?) failed to mention is that the students p resen t voted overwhelmingly to keep the freshm an humanities and engineering electives on a c red it/no cred it bas is . This resu lt is of significance when one considers that many of the freshmen on academic probation would not have received that status if both courses were graded in the normal m anner. Mr. M cN air 's pronouncements on the quality of Dean D ie te r 's replies to some questions could have been supported by some documentation if, indeed, any could be found. I get the distinct im pression that this journalistic ace was m ore concerned with his pet peeves than with factual reporting.

    Concerning Dean D ie te r 's alleged lack of information on the problem s encountered by the freshm an engineer, I suggest that the p rim ary fault

    lies with the student. I do not consider m yself to be a tool of the powers that be, as anyone acquainted with me, Including Dean D ieter, can a ttes t to. However, to my knowledge, no form al c r it ic ism s have been submitted concerning freshm en chem istry . One purpose of the student adm inistration is to act as a channel for student grievances. If the student body expects a situation to be rectified, then it is the ir responsibility to make these grievances known to the proper m em ber of the adm inistration. Unfortunately the “ grapevine" does not extend to the Dean of Engineering 's office. As the student re p re sentative on the C urriculum Com mittee of the College of Engineering, I would be most in terested in hearing any complaint about the curricu lum . I a s su re all concerned that such information will reach the appropriate m em bers of the faculty and the adm inistration. I can be easily reached by stu dent mail and welcome all comments.

    Finally, with regards to M r. M cN air 's attem pt at reporting, I can only commend him on a noteworthy piece of yellow journalism . It is reg re ttab le that the only fully accurate portion of his d iatribe is the photogrs^h accompanying the a r tic le . As a concerned student and liberal, I can only say that it is lamentable that the libera l philos(^hy of the Triangle is apparently not complemented by libe ra l ethic. When it com es to the point that we m ust r e s o r t to d istortions and ha lf- tru ths to c r it ic ize the Establishm ent, then it is obvious that we a re losing the battle.

    s ta r t the recording of the S ta r Spangled Banner, I began to wonder just how long it would take the Owls to extinguish the Dragons.

    I»m still wondering. - The Dragons bit, the Owls got hurt, and even though we lost, satisfaction reigned in the Dragons’ minds as they thought of the aggravated Temple u lcers .

    Twelve hundred fans. Tem ple’s mostly, braved the cold to watch “ weak” Drexel lead the waltz as the Owls reinforced the ir chance for the MAC playoff.

    With 1 minute and 44 seconds remaining in the f i r s t half, the Dragons froze the ball, with the hopes of keeping the low but com fortable Tem ple 23, Drexel 21, score intact. But an attempted steal almost deflated the freeze attem pt and ruined the “ safe” f re ez er trick.

    The second half s ta rted briskly as the Owls clawed a ten point lead with 8 -1 /2 minutes remaining.

    Mike Jones, T em ple’s supersub , broke the tie with a keyhold jum per evening the wound, and followed by tipping a D rexel p a s s to the Owl’s Oliie Johnson, giving Tem ple p ossess ion with a two point lead and 57 seconds rem aining.

    The Owls, following pa tte rn , instituted a freeze leading to the Dragons fouling of Jack Kirschling who made the one and one to topple D rexel with a four point lead.

    Kirschling, not sa tisfied with only a four point lead, in tercepted a Dragon p a s s . The Dragons fouled; the Owls sco red only half of a one and one and D rexel’s Mike Bivins recovered , fed the ball to J e r r y Click. A b li tz - lik e s e r ie s of two baskets followed, not enough to conquer the Owls, but which left the D ragons with a respectab le loss 54-53. A loss which was felt severe ly by the Owl hooters.

    Bruce, the boy w under

    Monday night was an eventful evening for Drexel hockey fans. Dale Livingston, boy photographer and ardent hockey supporter, got the f irs t puck of his life. The pre-junior math m ajor admitted it was a pretty shoddy puck, but we won the game, so he wasn’t too upset. Tl-ie game — oh, almost forgot about the game in all the excitement — ended in sudden death with DU on the long end of a 6-5 score .

    The firs t period was definitely outstanding as Bruce Wunder’s impact and inventiveness dominated the play. During a stunning drive toward our goal five minutes into the period, Bruce, perhaps a bit overzealously, stopped a potential score by blocking a shot with his eye. Twenty stitches closed the three cuts.

    F or those interested, Bruce is fine, but he can’t wink. The only other notable occurrence in the period was a two minute penalty against Temple’s Jack Rowe for holding at 12:53. The period ended score less.

    Drexel started the second period with two quick sco res . At 1:28 into the period, Gary Jenson scored on a break-away. D rexel’s Skip Caputo, the high sc o re r for the evening (goals, guys - not girls) added a point at 2:23 with the assistance of Nick Serpentine and Mark Twardzik. Temple’s Mike

    W echsler scored nine seconds la ter, and Bob Chmieliewski drew a two minute penalty for high sticking. Temple’s Dan McGinn and P at Sullivan then pushed their sco re ahead 3-2 and D rexel’s Martin Wolf got a two minute r e s t for roughing, which is s im ila r to a block in football, only you beat the guy with your stick. D rexel’s final attem pt at a sco re was voided t)ecause we were off sides.

    The third period s ta rted off slowly. At 8;53 John Angelo of Temple, unfortunately, scored. Then forthe rea l heartb reaker — D rexel s c o re d ...........forTemple. Number six (his name J- being withheld) passed to a su rp rised goalie (whose name also is being withheld, but he’s big!) who kicked the puck into the net making the score 5-2. Drexel finally scored for them selves when Bill Mifflin put the puck past Tem ple’s goalie at 12;52. We scored eight seconds la ter, with Skip Caputo’s goal on an as s is t from Nick Serpentine. We evened things up (5-5) with a minute and a half left when Herb Sweeney scored from Bob Chmieliewski and Steve Blank* (he said to put a s ta r beside his name).

    The game went into sudden death. Skip Caputo scored with an a s s is t from Mark Twardzik at 1:42, giving D rexel the win, 6-5. It was an exciting game| despite all the excitement.

    D rexel swim te a m ’s f i r s t U niversity Division victory of the season took place on Saturday. Coach Bill Logue’s team lost the opening event, but r a l lied to take eight consecutive f irs t p laces to coast to a 68-48 victory over R ider. The m ermen se t many, school and pool rec o rd s in th is, the ir l>est p e r form ance of the season.

    A re c o rd -se t t in g perform ance by Dan B urrow s in the 1000 yd. freesty le s ta r te d the w ater d rag on’s com eback a f te r a loss in the opening re la y . Rich Maunz and Bill Thompson combined to take f i r s t place and second place r e spectively in the 200 yd. f re e s ty le . J e r r y M orrison , a f re sh man, then tied a school record and took 1st place in the 50 yd. freesty le with a tim e of 23.3 seconds. T im Bachmann combined with Steve Kozicki in the 200 yd. individual medley, and L a rry Johnson and J im M atter did likewise in the diving event to put the meet out of reach.

    J e r r y M orrison tied a second school rec o rd in the 100 yd. f reesty le with a time of 52,2 seconds. Steve Kozicki, also a freshm an, followed with a new school rec o rd in the 200 yd. backstroke. C o -c a p ta in s T im Bachmann and Dan Burrows came through with f i r s t p laces in tlie 200 yd. butterfly and the 500 yd. freesty le respectively . Ken C a r te r and Paul Gondik finished 2nd and 3rd in the 200 yd. b rea s t s troke to c lose the scoring for the Dragi)ns.

    The n a ta to rs ’ rec o rd now is 2-2, and they meet St. Josephs on Wednesday and Delaware on Saturday in two tough U-Divi- sion m atches. The Delaware meet will be at Hutchinson pool (next to the P a le s tra ) a t 1:00 p.m . on Saturday,
