College is supposed to be a rea lly cool place — a place w here one can experience and freely explore h is mind and environm ent. We all come here as Individuals with equal opportunities. When any human being is looked down upon, it is a bad scene. W orse yet is the to lera tion of th is . F o r many years , f ra te rn i t ie s a ll o v e r the country, including those at D rexel, have held th is su p e rio r attitude toward pledges. They have asked th e ir pledges to prove them selves worthy of th e ir sa c red houses.

don 't prove yourself - be yourself

One fra te rn ity on D re x e l’s cam pus has taken a giant step in putting i t s attitude tow ard future b ro th ers in a p ro p e r p e rsp e c tiv e . The Lam bda Chi Alpha F ra te rn i ty has discontinued the traditional fra te rn ity pledging p ro g ra m .

The word ‘‘pledging*’ connotates physical h a r ­assm ent, lud icrous m andatory acts, and other asinine ac tiv itie s . T h ere has been a decline in the frequency of these ta c tic s in m ost fra te rn it ie s , but many s t i l l cling to the p as t and the trad itions which w ere applicable then.

Lambda Chi Alpha has taken the initiative to make a complete break with the past and institute an en­tire ly new program . They have elim inated pledging! With elimination of pledging. Lambda Chi Alpha will be selective in issuing bids. Acceptance of a bid will mean im m ediate m em bership in the f ra ­ternity . The basic difference between m em bers and initiated bro thers will be the right to vote in busi­ness meetings. No longer will a new m em ber (form erly “ Pledge") be looked down upon. He will be treated as an equal to the b ro th ers and at no time have to prove that equality.

The program in which m em bers will p a r tic i ­pate consists of education in the operation of the organization, the activ ities of the brotherhood, and the problem s which the fra tern ity faces now and will face in the future. The standard 8 o r 10 week pledging period has been dropped, and the tim e it takes to be formally initiated depends upon the individual in terest of the new m em ber.

With this new approach, Lambda Chi Alpha is meeting the needs of today's society while main­taining its original ideals of brotherhood.

R em em ber your freshm an year nightm ares? You know, the ones w here you dream symbols and calc equations ra th e r than w ords. An innovative freshm an ro s te r begins th is year, providing Drexel*s freeshm en engineers and science m ajo rs with a chance to sleep be tte r, and for some a chance to sleep at all.

No m ore physics f irs t te rm . No m ore chem lab for the f i r s t te rm .•Only two te rm s of chem istry a re required for freshm en; the third

te rm , consisting of a five credit organic chem course, is optional.Replacing these cou rses a re — a com puters course f i r s t te rm , a

lib e ra l studies course each term , and a new se r ie s of cou rses in tro ­ducing the various engineering disciplines, one each te rm .

The typical ro s te r for the f irs t three te rm s follows a sequence-of- gained-knowledge pattern , ra th e r than a sequence of courses pattern . F a ll te rm s ta r ts the budding genius off with Calc I, Chem I, Rool, the engineering elective (get to that in a minute), and the introduc­tory com puters course — U401. Only one of those courses, U401, has been taught here before, all o thers a re new.

Second te rm includes a continuation of chem istry and calculus, P hysics I, R002, and another engineering o r science elective. Next sp ring biological science sprouts, unless the student decides to take

Requiring all sc ience and engineering m ajo rs to take one libera l a r ts course will pain many and p lease few. Now, that is . It is hoped, by D r.

announcements

In its last issue of the summer term, The Triangle printed a letter by a student who was up­set because he could not obtain a parking space in a Drexel lot. He found the lot full of cars parked there by fans going to a Philadelphia Eagles’ game. Each of them had payed Drexel one dol­lar for the privilege of parking there. The s t u d e n t ’ s anger stemmed from the fact that he had payed for a parking sticker which would insure him a space on campus, only to find that his space had been sold by the uni­versity to an Eagles’ fan.

In response to questions, The Triangle was informed that the lot is opened to Eagles’ fans only because the extra income thus obtained is needed to keep down the cost of the stickers. Dean of Men Oscar Eichorn also guar­anteed that Drexel students would no longer be charged to park on those days, adding that any stu­dent who had to pay to park last Sunday could obtain a refund in his office.

Dr. Benjamin Spock, nation- ally-known pediatrician and an outspoken c r i t i c of American participation in the war in Viet­nam, will be appearing and speak­ing at a public meeting in Irvine Auditorium, 34th & Spruce Street on Monday, October 5 at 8:30p.m. Spock, whose lecture is being sponsored by the Committee for a SANE World, will join another lecturer, Tony Arvigas, who re ­turned recently from a trip to both the southern and northern sections of Vietnam. Admission to both talks is free and all in­terested students are invited to attend.

Rafael F e r re r , sculptor, will be the firs t guest speaker on the 1970-71 Lecture Series spon­sored bv the Design Department. Tuesday, October 6th at 3:30 in Stratton Hall, Room 113, Mr. F e r re r will show a short film and slides of his sculpture. This is an open meeting, all students are invited.

Mr. F e r re r was born in Puerto Rico. He has had one man shows at the LeoCastelliG allery inNew York, Galerie M.E. Thelen, Co­logne, and the University of Hart­ford. His "Deflected Fountain” was part of the Peace Exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1970. He is part of the group exhibition, “ Information,” currently at the Museum of Mod­ern Art, New York.

The lecture se ries will be offered every term and is under the direction of Prof. M. Dolores Quinn, Drexel’s Design Depart­ment.

The East Powelton Concerned Residents, a group interested in preserving the Powelton com­munity (and opposed to Drexel’s expansion plans for the area), will be holding open meetings every Tuesday evening at 8:00 p.m. in the Casket Company Com­munity Center at 3312 Race Street. Any interested students are invited to attend.

s e f up

Editor: Drexel Triangle

I would like to set the record straight concern­ing the articles on fraternities in the September 23

issue. . ,I was requested to write a “ sm all” article on the

role of fraternities at Drexel to be aimed at the incoming freshmen. When I saw the “ con” article appearing next to the article I wrote, I was d is ­appointed; not because of the fact that there was such an article , but because of the means by which

it was arrived.When I was told to write my article , nothing was

mentioned about a “ con” article; if this was known, the complexion of the article would not have been the same.

My article was submitted and then used as a guideline for the opposing article. It was then

“ ripped a p a r t” paragraph by paragraph by the w rite r of the other a r t ic le . It takes li ttle Intelli- pence or “ gu ts” to a r r iv e at an opposing articlf the way it was done In this s ituation . This is probably why the w ri te r of the a r t ic le , Tom KiU kenny (Diego de Pseudonym)^ would not sign his name to it. I guess If I had w ritten an artic le a.s naive and overgenera lized as M r. Pseudonym’s was, and used as li ttle In tegrity In w riting it, i probably wouldn’t sign my nam e e i th e r .

I hope The T riang le do esn ’t continue theii p ractice of “ setting people up” in th e ir editorial policies. There a re many worthwhile events worth reporting without re so r t in g to these ta c tic s .

To all freshm en read in g th is a r t ic le : fra te rn i­ties are not attem pting to fo rce you to join; we are only asking that you take a look at what we have to offer. Don’t be s c a re d away by a person who never did.

Mr. Kilkenny apologizes—ed.

for a human worldMay a 1921 Columbia graduate begthe opportunity

of passing a helpful suggestion to your student read ­e rs who hope to influence the election of an anti­war, anti-military Congress this autumn? It is apparent that chronologically I am almost 45 years past 30, but those who know me well will attest, I believe, that in sympathies, attitudes and objectives I am well under 30.

A publication has appeared here nearby which I believe will prove useful to those of you who plan to work for a human-centered Congress in the up­coming elections. Many of you nearby have doubt­less discovered the August 1970issueof THE PRO­GRESSIVE MAGAZINE, founded in 1909 by Sen, Robert M. LaFollette, Sr. (408 W. Gorham St., Madison, Wis. 53703), but perhaps not those in more distant universities and colleges. I hasten to add that I have no personal or business in terest or relationship in THE PROGRESSIVE in any remote way except that I share with you and THE PRO­GRESSIVE the passion for a world in which human beings and human values are f irs t p rio rities.

Besides many items in this issue of special in terest to those holding this purpose, there is one article in particular which should have practical value in checking upon incumbent Congressional candidates and confronting all candidates on the significant issues. This is, “ Nixon’s Silent House of Hawks; a documented analysis of the anti-war voting records of Republicans and Democrats in strategic d is tr ic ts” by Prof. Garrison Nelson, Di­rec to r of the Political Data Laboratory of the Uni­versity of Vermont, a noted student and investigator of the history and voting patterns of the United States House of Representatives.

There are detailed tables of the rea l meaning of the votes of individual Congressmen on significant issues relating to the war and the military in gen­era l. This issue is undoubtedly available in the col- ege lib ra ries , and from the publisher at 75C as

a re reprin ts of this particular article at a nominal cost.

Prof. Nelson shows that the House “ is dom- " overwhelmed, tafacl. - by a silent, hawk-

ish majority which enables President Nixon to get wha he wants In pursuit of his aggressive f o r e S policy. Quite obviously effort to reorient Congress

He created it no empty void, but made it to be lived in. Isaiah 45:18

and government policy tow ard hum anistic and non­m ilitary goals must be concen tra ted on the House.

Student humanists m ust d ire c t e ffo rt not just at ending the Vietnam w ar but at the whole drift toward m ilita ris tic and au th o ri ta r ia n power ac­cumulation. It is tim e tha t C ongress and all of us faced frankly the bas ic question of whether an organized m ilitary es tab lishm en t of any kind is compatible with a hum an -cen te red soc ie ty in this age of super-technology.

In this connection see a lso the testim ony of Pro!. Matthew Meselson of H arvard befo re the Senate Foreign Relations C om m ittee on ou r policy for chem ical and bac te rio log ica l w a rfa re (reprin ted in BULLETIN OF THE ATOMIC SCIENTISTS, Janu­ary 1970) and the new book, REASON AWAKE: Science for Man by P ro f, Rene E>ubos, Columbia University P re s s , 1970, T here a re cogent reasons why a m ilitary estab lishm ent is not only not neces­sa ry for security but a factor constan tly jeopardiz­ing security . Student hum anists need to think this question through and p rese n t the s ta r t l in g facts convincingly to governm ent, le g is la to rs , and the public generally.

The nonpartisan but l ib e ra l C om m ittee for an Ef­fective Congress in its 1970 re p o r t a s s e r ts that we a re at a c ro ssroad of dec is ion w hether govern­mental policy is , in the com ing e r a , to be con­stra ined by the sk illfu ll, o rganized efforts of M essrs . Nixon, M itchell and Agnew, supported by a $5.8 .million fund for a TV cam paign toward a “ politics of a g a in s tn ess” o r as one Republican official frankly ca lls it, “ active nega tiv ism ;” or whether human righ ts and human b eings are to have priority across the Ixjard. It is only a sh o r t hali- step from thi.s “ active nega tiv ism ” to a m ilitari - based authoritarian governm ent.

II tl ie values enunciated by Je ffe rso n , Madison, Lincoln and the o the rs like them a r e to be saved, history^ if truly w ritten , m ust signally honor the students and young people who a r e the saving conscience of the world, steadying us as we run tlie rapids of change while li ttle old men occupy seal> of power and play with awesome weapons supplied by a super-technology.

I wish you well this fall.Yours for a livable, human world,

The p r im a rie s a r e over (alm ost). The elections this fall may produce m ore vo ter partic ipa tion than any off-year (non-pres- idential) e lection in rec en t y e a rs . 'Hie new congress will de­cide the issu es of the Vietnam w ar, Inflation, c r im e, unemploy­ment, and pollution. The question now is “ Have the p rim arie s indicated any tre n d s? ” The answer was no, but some late p r im a rie s produced upse t v ic to ries for anti-w ar and ecology candidates.

The senatel l i i s N ovem ber, 35 senate sea ts (out of a total of 100) will

l>e up for re -e le c t io n — 25 now held by D em ocrats and 10 held by Republicans. Only five incumbents won't be running. John WilUams (R .-D el.), Spensard Holland (D .-F la .) , Eugene Mc­Carthy (D.-M inn.), and Steven Young (D.-Ohlo) a re re tir in g . Sen. Ralph Yardborough (D .-Tex.) had the dubious distinction of being the only Senate Incumbent to be defeated in a p rim ary . A low turnout of M exican-A m ericans, combined with an anti- Yardborough sen tim en t (partly due to his opposition of Nixon’s Supreme cou rt nom inations) produced his downfall.** There will be two ra c e s this fa ll w here the re will be th ree contenders due to the fact that the incumbent did not seek his p a r ty 's r e ­nomination. In V irg in ia , H arry F . Byrd J r . (Dem.) decided to run as an independent. If r e -e le c te d , he may vote with the Re­publicans to o rgan ize the senate . The D em ocratic p rim ary in V irginia produced a s u rp r i s e ; the norm ally conservative voters choose lib e ra l an ti-w ar G eorge Rawlings, who won in a very tight ra c e . Connecticut D em ocrats (sans incumbent Thomas Dodd), also nominated an an ti-w ar libera l to rep resen t them in the Senate; Rev. Joseph Duffy, the p rese iden t of ADA (A m er­icans for D em ocratic Action, a l ib e ra l organization) won by putting together a su cce ss fu l coalition of doves, labor, and r e ­form D em ocrats . F o r the anti-doves read ing this a r tic le (if they’re s t i l l read ing) a ll was not vic tory for anti-w ar candi­dates. Pennsylvania D em ocrats re jec ted Norvel Reece and in ­stead chose W illiam S esle r; and W ashington’s hawkish Sen. Jackson easily defeated an an ti-w ar cha llenger. Future a r tic le s will deal with individual ra c e s , including those in the a rea .

The houseThe one rem a rk a b le fact about house elections is that

despite the fact tha t a l l 435 se a ts a re up for g rabs, the o v e r ­whelming m ajority of incum bents who run a re re-nom inated and re -e le c te d . Unless th e re is a m ajor landslide this year (which is very unlikely), m ost incumbents will re tu rn to se rv e another two y ea rs . That is not to say that the re won’t be upsets. Reps. Cohelan (D .-C al.), F a rb s te in (D.-N.Y.), Rogers, (D.-Colo.), Philbin (D .-M ass.), and Fallon (D.-M d.) w ere felled by more libera l, m ore dovish, and m ore ecology-minded D em ocrats than they (the incum bents) w ere. As I sa id before, the grea t m ajority of incum bents w ere re-nom inated , but the five I

by Steve greenementioned w ere the upsets.

In Colorado, Rep. R ogers , listed on Environm ental Action’s 10 most wanted lis t (to be defeated), lost to anti-w ar C raig B arnes by only 34 votes I Rep. Philbin had been rep resen ting his M assachusetts d is t r ic t for 28 y ea rs , and had moved up in the seniority system to the number two man on the House Arm ed Services Com m ittee. Rev. D rinan, however, ended Philbin’s reign by putting together a successfu l campaign which may become a model for the “ new p o li tic s ,” D rinan’s well organized cam paigners reached 30,000 homes personally , and made su re all D rinan’s supporters got to the polls (it rained on election day in M assachusetts). Philbin’s age (72), and the fact that his d is tr ic t was fa irly dovish, led to his defeat.

Ecology and an ti-w ar forces joined together to defeat Rep. Fallon, who like his two Baltim ore co lleagues, had chaired a standing com m ittee in the House. Fallon, also a 28 year vet, had r isen to the chairm anship of the House Public Works Com­m ittee, which rep o r ts on all legislation dealing with highways. N eedless to say, Fallon was a “ highway” man who favored the automobile as the suprem e method of transporta tion , and who favored more highways w herever they could (or could not) be built. Paul Sarbanes, a Rhodes scho lar , thought Mr. Fallon should be re tire d and Baltim ore vo ters agreed, Mr. Sarbanes a lso had the support of The League of Conservation V oters, which is the political a rm of F riends of the Earth .

Two other old oaks will voluntarily r e t i r e after this year. Rep. Dawson, 83, from Chicago, was the f i r s t black to cha ir a standing com m ittee in the house (the Government O pera­tions Committee). And John McCormick will r e t i re a fte r 42 y ea rs in the house, the last nine of which he sa t on the Speak­e r ’s cha ir .

Outlook

W hatever your po litical outlook, the congressional elections this fall will hold som e hope for v ictory . Republicans, for the f i r s t time since th e ir 1958 d isa s te r , have a rem ote chance of capturing control of the Senate. L ibera l and anti-w ar forces have a s im ila r outside chance of electing a m ajority to the House, even though the sen iority system (unless a ltered or abolished) would continue to put conservatives (Southern D em ocrats) in positions of power.

♦ ♦F o o tn o tePolitical Expediency: on the am endm ent to end the w ar,

lib e ra l Sen. Yardborough (D .-Tex.), who was defeated in the p rim ary , voted “ aye .” Sen. Gore (D .-Tenn.), another Southern lib e ra l (there a re n 't many of them), was renom inated for r e - election and faces a very tough ra c e . He voted “ nay.”

hum-soch co-opThe students enro lled in the Hum-Tech or

Hum-Soc college a re in for a bit of a problem on the ir co-op jobs. F i r s t of all, your co ­o rd ina to r, who is p resen tly being interview ed, has credentia ls that would make your eyes sp a rk le . You will probably have one of the best coord ina tors to ever inhabit a booth in the co-op departm ent.

Now for the good stuff. Being in th is a rea of study, the employment opportunities ava il­able to you a re mostly in the social w ork, hos­p ita l, and other low-paying a re as ($60.00 per week). My advice is to keep your old jobs with the higher pay but if you a re one of those students who wants to work in the sam e a re a he o r she is studying, don 't expect much in way of money pay. Your psychological awards may be many but try to pay your ren t or tuition with that type of income.

The Co-op Com m ittee presen tly cons is ts of approxim ately fifteen students. D irec to rs from different colleges include: Kathy P e r r ic h —Home Econom ics, C aro l G ardner—HumSoc, Joe C hiz- ik - - Engineering, Bob Lipman - - Engineering, Jeff Macklus - - Businss and Hum Soc, Ed K re s s—B usiness, and Stu S ilver man—B usiness . These people made up the sum m er co-op com ­m ittee, New m em bers would be apprecia ted . If in te rested , p lease contact Stephen B artha via student mall.

A lso, any suggestions as to possible a re as in which we could work or gram m atica l co rrec tions would be appreciated .

“ Look overthere"“ It's a biologist"“ It’s a forest ranger”“ It’s one of them damn do gooders”

“ It’s CAPTAIN ECOLOGY”And once again we present another compelling episode

in the files of that indomitable crusader for clean water, fresh air, more trees, and the ulUmate biologic^ ^ d psychic harmony of all Uvlng things on the Planet Earth. (He used to just crusade for clean water, fresh air, more trees and the ultimate biological harmony of all Uvlng things on the Planet Earth, but la ter became ashamed of setting too low a goal for his noble efforts.) Aided by his intrepid young companion, Billy, he leads a relentless battle against the forces of pollution and evil with a burn­ing z e a l that has earned him the name which strikes te rro rinto the hearts of the devastators of our natural environ­ment - Captain Ecology.

Synopsis: After a series of glorious victories against the oil industry, the lumber industry, and public apathy. Captain Ecology and his intrepid young companion, Billy, were killed while riding motorcycles through Louisiana, Cap awakes to find himself in the here-after.

As he walked along a stree t in Hades, Captain Ecology tripped over a man who was writhing on the sidewalk and spewing out blood from his lungs as he breathed sul­phurous fumes. An imposing figure with horns, a flowing cape, and a long tail approached and said, “ Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m a man of wealth and taste; I’ve been around for a long, long time. Stole many a man’s soul and face ...” “ Wait a minute,” shouted Cap, “ I don’t give a damn what Mick Jagger thinks. I have no sympathy for you at a ll.”

“ I don’t give a damn either — my bag is collecting them,” replied the devil. “ Calm down and I’ll give you a personal tour. I bet you’d like to see how we deal with environmental crim inals.”

On a windy street, they saw a soul named Syslphus (at least that’s what his sweatshirt said) trying desperately to put an armful of paper trash into a barre l, but every- time he had almost made it, a gust of dirty wind blinded him. “ That’s really clever,” Cap admitted. “ You must be pretty bright even if you are unthinkably evil.” “ Well, really,” the devil said, “ my friend Albert Camus gave me a hint to work on,” As they proceeded along the street, they passed many other souls suffering for their crimes against ecology, not the least noteworthy of which was a poor wretch who was chained behind a SEPTA bus which started from a standing stop every ninety sec-

• onds. “ You seem to take your work very conscientously,” Captain Ecology tried to be friendly. “ Look,” said the devil, “ Any job worth doing is worth doing right, Isn’t It?” “ I suppose so, “ Cap replied, “ but why do you try to find appropriate punishments for all the new sins made possible by man’s advanced technology and the myriad new ways that it offers him to subject his fellow man to unmentionable atrocities which were beyond the reach of even the most persistedly brilliant geniuses of past e ras

by anonymous

When surely the torm ent. oatalop.e<i that m issionary bard of the(which are by hypothesis the ultimate and _ a i i v

„ !v e ? h e su r p a ss^ ) must suffice lor the most abysmally

lost souls of this age or any?” _“ F o r the same reason that you run

it kills tim e,” the prince of darkness r e p l i^ j“ Ignoring that fiendish slur upon my rapier-like w

and incomparable rhetorical sk ills,” ^ n o« at mouth again, “ I still don’t see why you must change your r e ? l ? a s ' m a n - s world changes. Is that "ot tantamoun to admitting that man is mlghUer than the devil? Jus a damned minute,” the infernal figure exclaimed, What in hell do you think this is, an advanced philosophic, metaphysic, theological sem inar or the Drexel Triangle?

“ As long as you’ve mentioned philosophic, metaphysic theological sem inars ,” Captain Ecology seized upon the

thread of a new discussion................

“ I wish to hell I hadn’t ,” the devil groaned.“ As I was a saying,” Cap continued, “ who are you to

slander the Triangle? You’re just a crummy degenerate fallen angel.”

“ Better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven, as Milton so neatly put i t ,” the devil retorted.

“ Harummph,” Cap brilliantly countered. “ Who ever gave you credit for any class at all, besides an idiot?”

“ Idiots like William Blake and G.B, Shaw.”Captain Ecology suddenly saw that the devil was far

sha rper than the brimstone-slinging clod he’s always said to be. F urtherm ore , C ^ realized that the devil had at his command an im pressive knowledge of literature and philosophy. As their separate repartee continued through Dante, Shakespeare, Byron, Mozart,Schopenhaur, Freud, Dostoyevsky, B.F. Skinner, Tolstoy and Confucius, Cap and the devil matched each other point for point, even when the argument ran through transcendentalism and predestination.

The battle grew.So heated when they discussed Moby Dick, Crime and

Punishment, Faust, P eer Gynt, Tannhauser and the Amazing Splderman, C j^tain Ecology nearly lost his characteristically resilien t nerve. -Just when he almost recovered, the devil hit him with a string of sn ^ p y one- liners from Strindberg, Sartre , Byron, and Nietzsche. Cap faced hard reality — either he found a quote to top them all, or all was lost. But they had exhausted all the

sources of the past from profound cave paintings to Gen­era l Semantics; even the 20th cen tu ry have been gone over very thoroughly. Suddenly C aptain Ecology had a

brainstorm — why not quote the g re a t th in k er of the last six months? Looking the devil s tra ig h t in the eyes. C a p

said “ Don’t forget that the F ly e r 's goalie f lie s into a

t r a n s c e n d e n t a l ego tr ip on home ice during t ie s . Please turn in your journal en tr ie s about the B yronic elements in Dylan, Cleaver, G regory, L isz t, o r Byron by the end of next term . In the final m inutes tha t rem ain , I want to play for you one of Chopin 's etudes and a few cuts from J e r ry ’s new Phil Ochs album. And when in Chicago, be

sure to look for a Goethe S tre e t by pronouncing It Go- eathy as M . Kell man so neatly sum m ed it all up.”

“ You win! Enough! Enough! Enough! U ncle!,” the devil conceded. “ You’ve just done what few o th e r mortals ever could. You quoted the ope g re a t ph ilosopher whose teachings even I can 't t w i s t to my own advantage, no mat­te r how much I try to take things out of context.” He looked very dejected and continued, * ‘I ju s t wanted to be friends and show you around, but when you s ta r te d argu­ing, I got so involved that I nearly won you r soul. You w eren’t sent here in the f i r s t place, b ecause you aren’t really dead. So you and your in trep id young companion Billy, can leave Philadelphia w henever you want.”

“ Philadelphia!” Cap exclaim ed, “ I thought th is was

Hell.”“ An understandable e r r o r , ” the devil acknowledged. “ Why did you move your opera tions h e r e ? ”“W ell,” the devil explained, “ th e re a re too many good

torm ents around here ju st being w asted on innocent people. Where in hell could I get anything to com pare with the Surekill D istressw ay o r the P e n ro se B ridge o r the oil refineries or the Office of the R e g is t r a r at Drexel University?”

“ Why aren’t you running around c rea tin g ev il?” queried Cap.

“ With all these c lever m o rta ls ruin ing the ea rth , I de­cided that I’d better r e t i re and le t evil be done by those who do it best. Besides, with the population running hog wild I had to hang a ‘no vacancy’ s ign on my door.”

Captain Ecology declared , “ I t 's been fasc inating meet­ing you, but since we’re not dead yet, my in trep id young companion Billy, and I a re going to leave fo r new adven­tures in our crusade fo r clean w ater, f re sh a ir , more trees, and the ultim ate biological and p sych ic harmony of all living things on the P lanet E a r th . Someday we might even clean up Philadelphia and send you back to Hell.”

“ I don't c a re ,” the devil said, “ I live in the suburbs and commute anyway.”

And as the sun set, Captain Ecology and Billy left tlie city to find a new battle in th e ir w ar aga inst environ­mental ruin.

(This un-review is not unbiased. Before I even saw the Moody Blues I liked them and all of th e ir five albums. If they had played te rr ib ly , this r e ­view would s till have been raves.)

The question was, “ Could they possibly rec re a te the ir amazing sound in person?*’ I doubted that songs like “ Knights in White Satin** could even be perform ed live. I had visions of The London F e s t i ­val O rchestra (conducted by P e te r Knight) standing by to back up the Moody Blues. But the re w ere only five of them; organ, drum s, flute, and two gu itars. The flu tist fell through a hole backstage and broke his flute just before they came on. Someone In the audience just happened to have one In h is back pocket, but we p repared for the w orst.

Dion, who broke Into the sound of rock shortly a f te r I was born, with “ Runaround Sue*’ and “ (DunDun DeLeDeDe) Sandy,*’ opened the p rog ram . His voice has m atured and he has become m ore adept at guitar and DeTeLeDunDun (I*m assum ing that he played on his ea rly reco rds) . A place like the Main Point would have helped Dion greatly la st Sunday. The com plete sellout audience re ­sponded well to “ Abraham M artin and John** and “ If We Only Had Love*’ but had to s tra in to tr a n s ­late the r e s t of the songs. The Spectrum ’s acoustics do lack.

As Michael T le rspn from WMMR, who doesn*t sound as short as he looks, welcomed us to the concert, the audience applauded. But It wasn*t teenybopper applause. The crowd seem ed o lder and m ore res tra in ed than usual. Everyone seem ed to be waiting to h ea r and see “ THEM.** Many people

w ere s ti ll disappointed that “ THEY** cancelled the ir concert la s t M arch. T here was an a ir of apprehen­sion; how would they sound here In Phllly In the Spectrum ?

Giant balloons a p p e a r e d from nowhere and floated around as Van M orrison s ta rted his se t. His voice got monotonous. “ Moondance*’ and “ Browneyed Girl** a re the only two songs I rem em b er and that Is due to the m usic, not the singing. Van M orrison sang as if he w ere falling asleep and doing us a favor by being th e re . He wasn*t.

“ Blasting billowing forth with the power of ten b illion butterfly sneezes*’ a hush fell over the Spectrum . Would these m ere m orta ls be able to sound like the ir reco rd s?

By the tim e they got to “ F o re v e r A fternoon' (Tuesday),*’ I wondered If they weren*t ju s t mouth­ing the words to the reco rd being played backstage. The d ru m m er was th rash ing and pounding and sw eating during “ Question*’ and I knew I was really hearing them live. But when they played the “ Dream** sequence from “ On the Threshold of a Dream** I wondered where all that soundWAS com­ing from , how could the organ do that?

By the tim e “ Melancholy Man** was on, the audi­ence was on th e ir feet clapping and swaying — but quietly, as no one wanted to m iss a word, a phrase o r a sound. After the ir encore the audience wanted m ore, and m ore a fte r that. But the Moody Blues just thanked us and vanished.

Now I wonder If th e ir albums will sound as good as they did in person . •

Mental HealthThe list o f Drexel students who have tried to commit suicide had

a new name added to it this week. The student, who evidently

sought to poison himself, was lucky. He will live.

Who the student is and the exact details of his attempt are not

Important. What is important is the fact that not all suicidal students

are as lucky as he was. The university has several successful suicide

attempts skeletonizing its closets.

Hiding these unpleasant incidents may be good public relations,

but it doesn't change the fact that they exist. Perhaps some good

might come out of being honest about their existence and of trying

to prevent their reoccurrence.

One thing the suicide attempts make painfully clear is the huge

vacuum which exists within Drexel's student affairs program m the areas of advisory and psychiatric counseling. In 1966, the university

employed seven part-time psychiatrists who put in a total of 38

hours weekly, counseling students. By January of 1970, we were

down to four men averaging 26 hours weekly. Several of the men had resigned because of the "inadequate salary” they were receiving.

While nature, it is claimed, abhors a vacuum, Drexel seems to be

perfectly content with this one. Early in 1969, President Hagerty

established an Ad Hoc Committee on Mental Health to make an

inclusive survey of the mental health area at Drexel, to analyze its

shortcomings, to evaluate its needs, and to make recommendations for a comprehensive mental health program.” The committee

was chaired by Dr. Phillip Dorman, the head of the university's

health services.

The Ad Hoc Committee submitted its report to Vice President for Student Affairs Edward C. McGuire late in November of 1969. After reviewing it carefully, he forwarded it to Dr. Hagerty during January of this year. Then the report seems to have vanished. Dr.

Dorman says that he got an "acknowledgement of receipt” of the report from Dr. Hagerty in February, but that he hadn't "heard a word about it since then."

Among the things suggested by the report is the hiring of two

full-time psychologists and a psychiatrist to be available in the Health Center at 35th and Powelton. It also recommended that

Drexel "reorganize, revitalize and expand” its current counseling

programs, establish a 24-hour on-campus counseling center, and

establish or develop such "special counselor" positions as foreign

student, black students, draft, marriage, educational and vocational counselors.

The committee report observed that communications between administrators and students could certainly stand to be improved and suggested that greater consideration be given to the non-

academic needs of students. Also in this vein, it suggested that a standing committee on sensitivity training be created to assist those faculty members who wish to utilize such procedures in their classes.

We are in the same boat as Dr. Dorman, We "haven't heard a

word" about the committee's report since it reached Dr. Hagerty's desk either. We have, however, heard about several suicide attempts -

successful and unsuccessful - since that time. We've also heard from a lot of students who need help and don't know where to find it.

The committee's report has been ignored for too long, u tunrams a great many creative ideas which will, hopefully, improveconsiderably the quality of student life at Drexel University. We

can only hope that Dr. Hagerty and the Drexel trustees realize that

this IS so and that they institute the report's proposals beforeanother suicide attempt - with, perhaps, a less fortunate conclusion - occurs.

They were demanding the r e m o v a l o f Mexico City’s police chief and the disband-

ine of the granaderos, , ,, ,The next day several thousand students marched from the old un ivers ity section to

close to the National Palace where President Gustavo Diaq O rdaz had h is offices.There they seized four buses, forced out the passengers, sm ashed windows and ran

the buses into the sides of buildings. Riot squads w ere then rushed into d isp e rse the crowd. One trooper broke the stock of his rifle over the head of a student, who was carried away on a stre tcher. Two o thers w ere injured se rious ly . In addition, at least

one student had been killed and 400 injured.On Wednesday July 31, the student insurrection spread to two s ta te cap ita ls and

troops moved into the s tree ts to put down the dem onstra tors using methods s im ila r to those practiced in Mexico City,

Two students were killed and several o thers injured in rioting at V illaherm osa, capital of the state of Tabasco and in Jalapa, capital of the s ta te of V era Cruz.

Federal authorities accused Communist agitators of plotting the in su rrec tio n from outside of Mexico and claimed the a r r e s t of several fo re igners as proof of th is accusa­tion. The foreigners included five Frenchmen described as “ experienced r io t coahes” although they never did reveal their identities.

On August 1, Dr. Jav ier B arros S ierra , rec to r of the N ational U niversity, led ;• peaceful march of 50,000 to within two miles of the National Palace , then turned around and headed back to the University 's campus from where they cam e, without an incident. The m archers were protesting what they called police and arm y violations of university autonomy.

Students charged that as many as 32. tudents hud been killed in d is tu rb an ces . But the Government denied the charges sayinR thai there was no proof. Students claim ed tha: the bodies had been cremated >nd the f im ilies of the vic tim s w ere threatened in' silence.

Students insisted that the.‘r demands had no political overtones con tra ry to the Gov­ernments contention the “ Communists and ou ide ag ita to rs” w ere responsib le for Ju riots. As one student put it, “ Itwasju,-.! protest a^^ainst the a rb it ra ry actions of ernment officials.”

On the following Sunday the Commiinisi party issued a m anifesto which denied that the party had ever incited anyone to use “ anarchial m ethods.” It went on to say tha' the documents confiscated earlier, including one leaflet entitled “ Youth to Power' were a forgery and were the work of agents employed by ttie United S ta tes C en tra l In­telligence Agency.

The manifesto declared: “ The immediate causes of the events that have occurred since July 26 are found in the methods of governing that have been im planted in country for some time. Those methods a re characterized by the use of public force and violence as a way of meeting popular anxieties and by the abuse of the so -ca lled ‘pria- c i ^ of authority' which considers any popular p ro test as a th re a t to the reg im e.”

On August 9, a general student strike affecting about 150,000 s tudents from the

of Mexico and the National Polytechnic Institu te began. The leader.^ a en further action, including a m ass dem onstration if the dem ands w ere not met. n August 13, they made good their th reats as approxim ately 100,000 student.-.

The intention was to place perm anent pickets at the

way of keeping p re s s u re on him to m eet their demands.^ly after 1 a .m ., troops and the police appeared and ordered the square tiere was m inor scuffling but the youths finally left.morning, August 28, about 3000 students, mostly teen -ag e rs , returned to the

i met a determ ined group of r io t policem en. Fighting broke out when the ^rces began to c lea r the square and adjacent s tre e ts . T here was gunfire and iozen people w ere in jured but It was not determ ined who did the firing. Wlowing Sunday, P re s id en t Diaz d e l i v e r e d his annual repo rt to the nation. He

he was ready to use arm ed force to put down “ system atic provocation' ire that the Olympic G am es would be held. He announced the use of the ap- ■^lympics as a m eans of putting p re s su re on him. However, he tem pered his

witli a p ro m ise to consider som e of the demands put forward by students J his support fo r the autonomy of the National U niversity . He also said that favorable to lowering the voting age from 21 to 18,

iving two and a half weeks saw rela tively Uttle agitation on either side except fsional group of students trying to enUst the support of tiie w orkers . But on Septem ber 18 the P resident ordered troops onto the campus of the National

jln an attem pt to end the student s tr ik e which was seven weeks old. p i of the National S trike C om m ittee escaped a r r e s t . However, as a result,

were forced to go underground. .1 ra the r Uian breaking up the s tr ik e , gave needed strength to the movenien

liowed signs of fa ltering . ,^rros denounced tlie m ilita ry occupation as an uivdeserved an exces

However, he also denounced tlie use of university buildings by the s u- alltical purposes which Is wliat gave Uie G o v e r n m e n t its reason for taking

of students and teach ers w ere a r re s te d for th e ir “ antisocial and possibly

crim inal activities.'* This indicated that the police w ere not su re what charges could be placed against them.

Minor clashes between students and r io t police in which sev era l persons w ere in­ju red and scores a rre s ted , followed for the next three days.

On Sunday, Septem ber 22, fighting heightened as one policem an was killed, sc o res of persons w ere injured and hundreds a rre s te d as students continued to show hostility against the occupation troops.

Meanwhile, athletic team s w ere stream ing into the city in p repara tion of the Olympics.

Students, often joined by older people, hurled rocks, bottles and boiling w ater at police as they attempted to break up la rge gatherings.

Many a r r e s t s w ere made without d iscrim ination . On the theory that anyone under 30 could not be trusted , the police had hauled off persons because they w ere young and near the scene of the confrontations.

The next day revealed the bloodiest fighting yet as police and students exchanged gun­f ire which resulted in the death of one student and the wounding of 40 o thers. T here w ere rep o rts that right wing vigilante groups w ere staging ra id s on th ree schools shoot­ing at students and kidnapping o thers.

The next two days w ere bloodier yet as 17 persons w ere killed in gunfights. It was reported for the f i r s t tim e that students, m ost of them high school age, w ere using f ire a rm s on a la rge scale . Some students w ere seen to be using machine guns.

Buses and ca rs w ere seized and used as b a rr ica d es while o the rs w ere burned.With the university and the polytechnic institu te under m ilita ry control, the students

w ere deprived of th e ir two m ajor headquarte rs . They did not seem capable of mounting a m ass attack o r dem onstration. Leaflets from the s tr ik e com m ittee w ere handed out informing the public that the fight was continuing under “ new forms.**

Despite some indication of sympathy fo r the students from other Mexicans, the ru l­ing Institutional Revolutionary party continued to keep a tight re in on its^ w orker and peasant components. T here was no indication of participation in the turm oil by o ther groups in the population.

Most student lead e rs expressed concern over the new direction which the movement appeared to be taking. They s tre s se d that th e ir aim s w ere m oderate and em phasized the point that the use of f ire a rm s by students was not authorized. The students con­tended that their only weapons w ere stones and bottles filled with gasoline.

Students w ere p articu la rly annoyed by Government accusations that Com munist o r professional ag itators w ere s tir r in g up the unrest.

“ Everyone who speaks the truth is a Communist'* one student complained. “ Through its stupidity and myopia, the Government has created the p resen t situation. If it had acted differently the movement would never have developed the way it has.*'

“ We a re not trying to overthrow the reg im e,” a g irl said . only want the Con­stitution and its guarantees fo r free expression of grievances respected.* '

After four days of calm, federal troops ended their occupation of the National Uni­versity as 1,300 reg u la rs and 25 tanks moved to the city lim its .

Upon returning to the campus, students found that the slogans printed on walls had been neatly covered with a coat of battlesh ip-gray paint. In addition, p o s te rs and other “ subversive" m ateria l had been removed from student do rm ito rie s .

The removal of troops seem ed to be p ar t of an effort to dampen dem onstrations be­fore the opening of the Olympics.

Although the le ad e rs ' positions continued to be uncom promising, they indicated a m ore m oderate stand than was dem onstrated previously, A spokesman said on October 1 that “ We have absolutely no plans now to hold dem onstrations during the Olympics G am es,” This seem ed to satisfy Government officials who w ere trying to calm the students down for the Olympics,

The following day, October 2, a victory ra lly of about 3000 people gathered in front of a housing pro ject. The purpose of the rally was to p ro te s t the continued occupation of the Santo Tomas campus of the National Polytechnics Instituted by federal troops. The students had planned a m arch to the campus which was a mile away from the rallying point.

However, the f irs t speaker announced that the m arch would not take place. He said that 22 truck loads of troops, 14 jeeps with machine gunes and many tanks w ere at Santo Tomas. “ We do not believe in s te r i le bloodshed,” he said . **We ask you to go home when this meeting is over.*'

'The speakers es tim ate was accurate, however, what he did not know was they they w ere headed for the rally site.

Ju s t after 1 p .m ., while the rally was going on, the troops a rr iv ed and shooting broke out near the Foreign M inistry. The arm y stated that sn ipers s ta rted it. O ther w itnesses blamed the arm y.

Troops moved from the Foreign M inistry toward the ra lly site, firing as they ran . Tanks and jeeps followed them, strafing the a re a with th e ir machine guns.

The crowd, in a panic, ran from the advancing force and sn ipe rs opened up from the buildings around the plaza. By 7 p.m . the pitched battle was over. The toll was put at 50 dead and over 500 wounded with one so ld ie r killed and ten wounded Including the general in charge. Most of the victim s w ere women and children.

Students said that six m em bers of the National S trike Com mittee w ere killed, about as many wounded and 20-25 a rre s ted . The re s t went into hiding as plain clothes s e c re t police were on the campus the day after looking for s tr ik e leaders . S trike leaders also charged that as many as 300 students had d isappeared without a trace .

Some leaders acknowledged that the movem ent had been dealt a heavy blow but vowed to continue the ir p ro tes ts despite police warnings that no m ercy would be shown.

The feeling now Is that in the long run, as they move from a ru ra l to a m ore sophis­ticated urban society, that the movement, now re s tr ic te d to students will become gen­e ra l as it has In F rance , O nceltdoes, the ruling party will be forced to come to te rm s with the sp ir it of what the students a re asking even if they do not agree on tiie contents. The obvious alternative would be the overthrow of the ruling party , which has stagnated over the last 40 y ea rs . The resu lt of this stagnation has been the forming of a new “ Establishment*' dedicated to principles contrary to the original purpose of the party .

As for the effect of this tragedy in the United States, there has been little concern. It is just another h is to rical event which has been cobwebt>ed with time, perhaps re ­m em bered by only a few. But to those persons who w ere presen t, that n i^ it left an In­delible im pression in the ir minds.

William W. Hagerty came to Drexel in Septem- as nresident of a small engineering

school. Drexel University’s domain and interests have grown and so have Dr. Hagerty s.

Dr Hagerly said he came to Drexel because he -w^'ted to L at a school that was moving; not Static in tradition and previous Presidents p olicies .” He commented that “ very few co ege presidents have the opportunity^ to influence aschool’s d irec t io n in a s h o r t tim e.”

Drexel, for Dr. Hagerty, was a challenge. He nroposed “ a graduate school in order to keep the best people in the area instead of having them travel north to MIT or west to Cal Tech.” He also wanted a diverse and flexible faculty; “ not mem­bers that taught only graduates or just under-

^ T h e two basic problems facing Dr. Hagerty and Drexel then and now are “ financial and stu­dent communications.” He telieves that the student communications problems are beinghandled by a p a ra l le l student government; Board of Trustees meetings when certain students have been invited to speak- and students on the committees for the selection of Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. Edward McGuire and Dean of Students,Stephen

around. Hagerty said. " I canshould it ever become necessary. As of g »I and the Vice Presidents can you can only work 16 or 17 hours a day for Ji^t so long.” The position of Provost would an as sis tant to tiie President,and Dr. Hagerty admitted that “ the addition of another administration mem­ber would considerably cut the number of student and faculty contacts he now has.”

Hagerty said that he sees the job of president as “ one who gathers information; the more in­formation, then the sm aller the circ le of con­fusion.” He said that “ student participation on committees is my guarantee for discussion, not necessarily agreement. Committees are com­mittees of the whole, and persuasion and reason must be relied on instead of power and authority.”

Last spring term , the idea of an equal vote of student-faculty-administration board was present­ed. A one-third vote of no would override a two- thirds yes. Hagerty said he rejected this idea be­cause he felt that “ there should be no veto powerfor anyone; guidelines cannot be set; and because thesolution to a particular problem is determined by its c ircum stances.”

Unfortunately, at this point, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Ralph Crouch appeared, and the Triangle did not have the opportunity to ask the president how he ever got to be a fresh ­man advisor.

Editor, the Student C ongress at-I was ;" f;;;u r e d m tho August 21 T riang le . The fact that

T fhink it is time that the speaker respond to his responsibility as ,taleS in Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 2: “ Should a member have more tt.au one unexcused absence in one term , the S peaker shall rtrm atically initiate expulsion proceedings apiinst Uie m em ber.” The t l word here is -autom atica lly .- TOere are five Con-n essm en 2 permanent, 3 alternate, who have three o r more unex-™sed absences.

It is lack of d e c i s iv e action tliat has allowed the ab sen tee ism to growto epidemic proportions.

f f a s c i n a t i o n

Now that th is y e a r ’s freshm an c la ss has four glorious days to sav o u r the Idyllc haven of uni­versity life, hopefully my observations on life In the urban cam pus may be m ore relevant. And so, without fu rth e r delay, le t us plunge, with a long head. Into the m a tte r at hand.

A few y e a rs before my freshm an year, a game called “ fasc ination” was being advertised on TV. The game was li ttle n jo re than the previous medio­c re attem pts at c re a tin g an enjoyable pasttim e for hoards of bored A m ericans , and the advertising theme song w as one of those obnoxious li ttle d itties that becam e ir r i ta t in g a f te r the f i r s t hearing. I don 't rem e m b e r the w ords of the song, so I made up new ones;

Fragm entation , D rex e l fragm entation.Fragm entation, the life we a ll m ust lead.F ir s t you have a d ream to follow ,Then you find your d rea m was hollow.With som e luck you w on't get s tuck—But watch out fo r . . .F ragm entation , alw ays fragm entation.F ragm entation , w e 're all doomed to play.Go to school and work som e too;M arry a g irl who likes to screw .F i r s t you learn , then you earn .Now yo u 're full ofF ragm en tation ...Now i t 's tim e fo r your f i r s t test. At the end of

this paragraph , take out a paper and pen and w rite m ore v e rse s to the song. This te s t will not be graded on content o r style, so be free to w rite whatever you want.

F in ished??? P robab ly not. You probably didn’t even w rite a v e rse ; you probably didn’t even stop reading. You probably didn’t even think about writing. You a re probably sp iritually dead. Good, you’ll do well at D rexel!

Whoops?After l ibera lly Imbibing m ore than my sh a re of

caffeine and n icotine a minute ago, I rea lized thatI diverged from my Initia l thesis , fragm entation.

At som e point In your academ ic wanderings, you will m eet M arsh a ll McLuhan as he apotheosized him self In “ The Medium Is the M essage ." You will find tha t McLuhan is an uncom prom isingly pompous dem lgogue. You will also find that he has a right to be.

F ragm entation is one of M cLuhan's favorite te rm s. By “ fra g m en ta tio n " McLuhan usually m eans com partm entalization of Ideas and In te re s ts . You neatly plot out your em otions, likes, d islikes and in te re s ts . T h is scheduling is always done on the b as is of the im personallzed 24 hour day. We a re so caught up In m inutes and hours that we forget that ou r sy s tem of tim e Is m erely a

by craig nygard

m easure of In tervals of eternity . W6 have lost the w orld-system s and universal view of life pitifully exchanging them for a fragmented. In­dividualized m in i-system .

W ere you not handed a schedule on reg is tra tion day? Does this schedule te ll you what to do five days a week, eight hours a day? Have not your In struc to rs told you what to do with your evenings?

Who's In Charge Here?

F rom the beginning le t’s c lea r up one Im portant polnt--you a re not In charge. At p re - re g is tra tio n your sc rip t was finished leaving you with two choices—either you will m em orize your lines and regurg ita te them on demand o r you will fall and be drafted. E ither way, you a re not in control of your life, least of all your education. F e e ls great, doesn’t It?

GuidelinesWith fea rle ss alacrity I can honestly s ta te that

the re a re no guidelines. At f irs t, this is somewhat scary , but deeper analysis p roves otherw ise.

W ere there definite guidelines to avoid the pain of adjustment and make the transition smoothly, nearly everyone would be following them. If every ­one is doing something to ease the cum bersom eness of adjustment, It would obviously be a com part­mentalization of in te re s ts and therefo re would cause fu rthe r fragm entation. And so, there can be no guidelines, only palliative m easures .

The f irs t of these is obllvlousness. It Is easy to pretend to that nothing rea lly ex ists that is at all bothersom e. One can feel quite contented in this. However, sooner o r la te r (usually sooner) it all catches up with you and the situation has not been altered.

The second ru se is involvement. One can totally em erge him self in, fo r example, engineering o r business. This also Is workable, but only for awhile. At some point one awakens with a very w retched feeling in the core of his v isc e ra and rea liz es that he has lost all. It Is only a m a tte r of time.

The third method is one of the m ore widely used com batants. Usually it is caused the “ tr ia l and e r r o r ” method. Although this route Is ra re ly dull, the experlm entator usually questions the sanity of his actions. He also usually questions the sanity of everything. No one has ev e r tr ied this method for a g rea t length of tim e and s u r ­vived.

The final, and m ost common escape Is just that—finding an escape. The difficulty with this method is that the re a re very few escapes. One of my favorites Is Kurt Vonnegut, J r . ’sWELCOME TO THE MONKEY HOUSE. In fact, I am spU tt- Ing now for this haven. Welcome, and good luck.

frustrationby Steve wojcik

As I was a freshm an In the great year 1969 I feel em inently ju s t i ­fied to recount to you my f i r s t year at D.U. This is not to be taken as typical or atypical for that m atte r. I t ’s just what h ^ p e n e d to me. F i r s t a little background: a South Philly Catholic grade school for 8 y ea rs ; then a 4 yea r engagement at C en tra l H l ^ . In June 1969 I wanted to be a m echanical engineer, th a t’s why I cam e to DrexeL

A rriv ing here I was deeply im p ressed by the pomp (even G. W illiam Zuspan’s flashing name) and Idealistic speeches. You heard som e from a few people and heard a l^u t a few m ore. I hope you absorbed everything with a respectab le amount of sa lt.

Then c la sse s began, C hem istry , Calculus, Physics , Humanities I. Most of my friends at this tim e w ere from my old high school, about 50 from my graduation c lass cam e to D rexel. Did lousy academ ically and even worse In my head.

Second te rm was also an acadenaic fiasco but was somewhat of a su ccess . 1 rea lized then that my high school friends w ere not the only people in the w orld. College is a p lace to learn and that does not mean just “ F s m a .” Learning to be a human being is fa r m ore im portant. Although I have been here only a year I have seen many people dehumanized and mechanized. This occurs as a re su l t of ig ­noring them selves and s triv ing for proxim ity to a 4.0 as inhumanly possib le.

It should seem obvious that th e re ex ists a re a s of confusion and conflict within our univer­s ity community. We as indi­viduals should de term ine our com m ittm ent and in recognition of our demand for se lf-d e - te rm ination express and stand up fo r our com m ittm ent.

These a re my beliefs and througii them I hope to make a positive, definite contribution to the Drexel community.

My experience as Junior C lass P residen t and my concern for our un iversity has given me the n ecessa ry p repara tion to effect my goals.

Are you still reading the way your parents read?

In the first grade, when you were taught to read “ Run Spot Run," you had to read it out loud. Word-by-word. Later, in the second grade, you were asked to read silently. But you couldn’t do it.

You stopped reading out loud, but you continued to say every word to yourself.

Chances are, you’ re doing it right now.This means that you read only as fast

as you talk. About 250 to 300 words per minute. (Guiness’ Book of World Records lists John F. Kennedy as delivering the fast­est speech on record: 327 words per minute.)

The Evelyn Wood Course teaches you to read without mentally saying each word to yourself. Instead of reading one word at a time, you’ ll learn to read groups of words.

To see how natural this is look at the dot over the line in bold type.

grass is green

You immediately see all three words. Now look at the dot between the next two lines of type

and it grows

when it rains

With training, you'll learn to use your innate ability to see groups of words

As an Evelyn Wood graduate, you’ ll be able to read between 1.000 and 3.000 words per minute , . . depending on the difficulty of the material.

At 1.000 words per minute, you'll be able to read a text book like Hofstadtler’s American Pol i t ical Tradi t ion and finish each chapter in 11 minutes

At 2,000 words per minute, you’ll be able to read a magazine like Time or Nev^s-

week and finish each page m 31 seconds.At 3,000 words per minute, you’ ll be

able to read the 447 page novel The God­father in 1 hour and 4 minutes.

These are documented statistics based on the results of the 450,000 people who have enrolled in the Evelyn Wood course since its inception 1n 1959.

The course isn’t complicated. There are no machines. There are no notes to take. And you don’t have to memorize any­thing.

95^‘o of our graduates have improved their reading ability by an average of 4 7 times.

Take a free Mini-Lesson

works?Then take a free Mini-Lesson.’ « The

Mini-Lesson is an hour long peek at what the Evelyn Wood course offers.

We’ ll show you how i t ’ s possible to £iccelerate your speed without skipping a single word. You’ ll have a chance to try your hand at it, and before it’s over, you'll actually increase your reading speed. (You'll onlv increase It a little, but it's a start.)

We'll show you how we can extend your memory. And we'll show you how we make chapter outlining obsolete

“ o ^ r u T h a 'w e cannot continue to live In this manner forvears There Is not a technical solution to th e

U m L T L earth. I t Is absurd to speak In the P residen t's term., of a n ever expanding economy so that we can afford to ‘-manage" t h e c o n s e q u e n c e s of an ever expanding economy.

Ecology Action has no q uarre l with e ffo rts to te m p o ra r ily Im- nrove the situation. We simply feel that th is is an a ttem pt to adapt to a condition which must and should change. The only an sw er to the pollution problem Is that we must consum e le s s , tha t th e re m ust be fewer of us doing the consuming, and tha t we m ust rec y c le what we do consume. At the present moment the population is increasing exponentially. They merely destroy a g rea t deal in a moment.

If our present manner of Uving is doomed, perhaps it is not much to be mourned. We would like to suggest tha t people might not only be better off reproducing and consuming le s s , but might be happier.

We offer a vision of a society which would fu lfill ou r lives through participation in the natural p ro c e sse s that have evolved in the life of the earth . We see only desperation in the a ttem pt to USE nature. The American I n d i a n , t h e V ietnam ese, the P olynesian cultures lasted thousands of years , ra the r than hundreds. We ad m ire them, but we do not suggest returning to som e fan ta s tic a l innocence. There is nothing inherently evil in technology. It is a tool like other tools, to be used or not; we will not be used by it.

Gary Snyder puts is succinctly: “ What we envision is a planet on which the human population Uves harm oniously and dynam ically by employing a sophisticated and UNOBTRUSIVE technology in a world that is ‘left n a tu ra l’. "

Consider in your work that bandaids will not c u re a wound of the heart. We invite you to examine our vision and se e if i t might make you want to get out of bed Monday morning. That is the te s t of our salvation.

There is one question which will a r ise :“ This is a very nice utopia, but how do you propose to achieve

i t? ”Our answers:Present levels of reproduction and consumption m ust end. This is

inevitable. The resu lt however, may not be utopian. We achieve our utopia by starting . There a re a lot of people who a re simply making the choice to have fewer ch ild ren , to consum e le s s , and to try and live lives that a re more harmonious with n a tu ra l p rocesses and their own basic instincts. Tliey seem to be generally happier as a result.

If the genuine rea so n fo r the c r is i s la s t te rm was to s ilence th is column, as has long been rum ored among the cognoscenti, the s tra teg e m has failed. R esu rrec tions long being a cliched tr ic k in ce r ta in ethnic c irc le s , particu ­la rly among m a r ty rs , this second coming is as p leasu r­able as any but no g rea t accom plishm ent. Walking on w ater, even on the Schuylkill, isn*t very difficult these days, if one can avoid contam ination. Walking on thin ice is even le ss challenging, especially with p rac tic e . Speak­ing of ice, both that which we skate on and pour drinks over, bourbon is n 't the only thing liable to find itse lf on the rocks th is season , “ Let him who is without sin get stoned f i r s t , ” the aforem entioned prophet said , as he m iracu lously turned wine in toG uiness. (Guiness, 7*7 :2212)

The Scranton C om m ission rep o rt notwithstanding, calculated incidentally to coincide with the beginning of the hockey exhibition season , there will be a g rea t deal of off-cam pus violence th is season. W hether it is good violence o r bad ( i.e ., counter-productive) violence en­tire ly depends on which side you a re on. In any case, pena lties will be a s se s se d but a growing num ber of people might well avoid making that tr ip to the penalty box. How this w ill affect law and o rd er , only the Vice P residen t knows.

F o r those new a t D rexel and fo r those who have chosen to forget, som e apology is necessa ry for th is particu la rly polluted s t re a m of consciousness. As a re su lt of com­pla in ts from the s ilen t m ajority of students, uncharac­te r is t ic a lly vocal ones, that the T riangle was devoted exclusively to i r re le v a n c ie s such as w ar, oppression, poverty , and academ ia, it was decreed that es sen tia ls such as hockey would be covered from tim e to tim e. As with any cu rre n t issu e , con troversy could not be avoided, and the pow ers that be, in a b razen attem pt to silence d is ­sent, taking um brage at som e d eris iv e sta tem en ts made about E a r l H eiska la and o ther p re p e tra to rs of violence, sum m arily d ism isse d the aforem entioned ind iter. Such re p re s s io n n eve r succeeds in doing anything but po la riz ­ing the com munity. Thus, a sm all group of P o les gathered to p ro te s t th is heinous action in the ir ch a rac te ris t ica lly organized fashion. The outcome was inevitable. Nothing happened.

However, ra lly ing around the cha rism a tic figure of

To w rite anym ore about hockey at this point would be to belabor the subject. However, a few concluding rem arks a re in o rd er . The Scranton Com m ission is right in indi­cating that this will be a challenging season, one that will question our m ost rigid assum ptions. Two new ce lls have

back at the con tro ls and showed why he is the ir f i r s t - s t r in g QB as he threw a s tr ik e to h is end for an eleven yard gain while being rudely welcomed back by our defensive line. A fter a few line th ru sts w ere stopped cold, ends John Y eager and Mick V ette r teed off on fourth down and dropped whoever the b a l lc a r r ie r was ( th e re w as a mixup on the play and nolKxly, le a s t of all Upsala, seem ed to be su re what the play w as) on the 35 to give our offensive machine one m o re shot at It. Galeone picked up 28 of those y a rd s on a pltchout, and B roglie then broke a school re c o rd fo r a sophom ore by scoring his th ird touchdown of the afternoon on what appeared to be a quarte rback d raw , F e rg le once m ore ex e r ­cised h is leg m usc le and it was 26 - 6 .

The next tim e D rex e l got the ball, JackSchroeffel was the quarterback, and he showed that, like Broglie, he needs a li t t le tim e to w arm up. He moved the team w ell, but another clipping penalty ruined h is chances fo r a sc o re . With fourth and goal at the 21, a com pletion to Ed C rom ble wasn't quite good enough and U psala took over on its own 10. Offensive In te rfe ren c e was called to make It 1s t and 15 at the 5, but It d idn 't phase the Vikings too much. On the next play, K ersey showed poise, guts, and a hell of an a rm as he heaved one to I* rank ScarpelU fo r a 95 yard d az z le r . The two- point attem pt was stopped short, and the score stood at 27 - 12.

in an effort to cap ita lize on the momentum which

had suddenly swung th e ir way, Upsala tr ied an on- sides kick, but it was recovered by a blue sh ir t on the Upsala 48. Jody B relsfo rd then delighted the crowd of about 2500 with a 52 yard off-guard scam per. He la te r claim ed that nobody even laid a hand on him, which says a lot about the way Danny Wilson and Brian Cullinan block. This tim e it was Jon E asU ck 's turn to add the ex tra point, and he brought the sco re to 34 — 12.

At this point, D rexel went into the ir “ victory*’ o r “ p rev e n t" defense, which concedes sho rt p a s se s and runs while p rim arily guarding against the th rea t of a long bomb. Unfortunately, K ersey found the holes In It and moved his club to the 47 before Steve L enart Intercepted and streaked to the enemy 19. A personal foul call moved the ball to the ten where It was f i r s t and goal. The p ar tisan crowd was scream ing for m ore blood and the Dragons tr ied to oblige a little too much. A fumble caused by a bad pitch (caused by trying too hard?) bounced around for awhile before being covered by Upsala at the ir 23. K ersey a n d ScarpelU again worked the ir ae r ia l act, this tim e fo r 78 yards, fo r another touchdown as time was running out. They kept th e ir perfec t record by m issing another two-point try .

F o r the third Ume in the game, the on-sldes kick was tr ied . This Ume, Twlnkletoes Danny Wilson picked up the ball on one bounce and ram bled to the 16 before running out of gas and being knocked out of bounds.

been added, one in Buffalo and another in Vancouver. The new Canadian team declined to call itse lf the Dodgers, refusing to appeal to the new population influx. T here will now be seven team s in each divsion, with the sam e amount of playoff spots, bound to re su lt in m ore furious fighting. Chicago moves into the W est with Philadelpahla while V ancouver Is in the E as t . Oh!

Thus, our autochthonous denizens find them selves in the sam e league with Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, and Tony Esposito , theoretically . They do not seem to have aban­doned the ir ro le -o rien ted ra th e r than goal-oriented phi­losophy, indeed have added m ore defensem en and checking fo rw ards. Then again we have a g rea t deal to be defen­sive about. We have, however, traded Reggie F lem ing to Buffalo fo r a faded p ic tu re postcard of N iagara F a lls . This season one should be p repa red fo r few er goals and m ore ties, with red lights on e ith e r side of the ice la s t ­ing longer than the ones on M arket S treet, a notorious d is t r ic t fo r red, lights. The F ly e rs will doubtless also make som e obeisance to the youth cu ltu re and include some m em bers of the Woodstock generation to rep lace som e w ell-estab lished m ed iocrities who have g re a te r experience, m ost of it bad. The la s t playoff spot is a possibility , with Oakland the rea l opposition. It will be difficult to im agine a H arry Howell taking owner C harlie Finley se rious ly . Los Angelee traded a g rea t deal but mostly got what they deserved . “ Nothing com es of noth­ing,” as King L ear, fo rm er storm y hockey veteran, once said.

Unavoidably, since many of us a re underground in New York subways and A m herst, coverage th is y e a r will have m ore of a Ranger flavor. (F o r the new com ers, these R angers a re nof to be confused with the D rexel group of the sam e name, although I am not su re why not.) This should not dam age the basic rea d e r in te re s t of the col­umn nor d e trac t from its rea l meaning. Indeed, I a r ro ­gantly expect to keep both of my Philadelphia rea d e rs and possibly add one o r two on th is end. This offering will appear on a somewhat unpredictable b as is . P lease have your s e c re t Doug F avell decoder pins at the ready. With­out them, this column might appear ab trusely incom pre­hensible. With them, it w ill actually be so.

“ Let me say, even though we lost our f irs t game, that I was very pleased with the good solid ball our team played and with the en­thusiasm shown” —these are the words of Coach Don \o n k e r , r e ­iterating DU’s opening soccer loss to Hofstra by a score of 2-0.

In the opening two periods, Drexel moved the ball well but didn’t threaten too often. When the second half began, they threatened con­tinually but just couldn't beat the Hofstra goal keeper. Their ball movement was so smooth that they outshot the NCAA entrants in the 3rd and 4th quarters but, like any other sport, you have to score points to win. Overall inexperience probably cost the Dragons, as they started three freshmen and used three others in the contest.

While the offense was being thwarted at the other end of the field, the Drexel defense almost played the part of the equalizer. Led by their foreign import, Morris Abboudi, and stopperback Doug Burns, DU limited Hofstra to 19 shots in which only two eluded the Drexel goalie.

Ken Prager worked hard moving the offense, while s tr ik e rs John Herman and Terry Apostolides showed some fine footwork. Only the visiting team’s relentless hustle prevented the Dragons from capital­izing on their opportunities.

Coach Yonker looks for team improvement as they gain the ex­perience that comes with playing a few games. Hopefully, the im ­provement will come in a hurry, as DU will be up against some of the perennial soccer giants of the East—starting with West Chester tomorrow. It’s a great challenge to “ Yonk” and his k ickers—a challenge they are ready to meet with determination.

Charlie B arr, une of America’s foremost professional racing, skippers (years ago, the America’s Cup races were sailed by pro ­fessional skippers—that practice has since been legislated against) said that a race v,-as three-quarters won before the s ta r t . That is, preparation is three times as important as the race itself. This doctrine was certainly born out by Navy’s performance at Annapolis this Saturday. Bill Campt>ell et al finished f irs t twelve times and second twice in fourteen races. The spoiler was Penn’s Jack K ar- abasz, who did it with “ naked driving ability, son .” H ere’s a guy who was third in a regatta against the best Moth sailo rs in the world.

The lesson is that Navy is practically unbeatable at home because of their preparation. They practice four hours a day, five days a week, which in effect com presses five y ea rs’ experience into a season, of which there are two a year. The team has six coaches and a fifty boat fleet which includes Huey Long’s “ Ondine,” a little dinghy that goes 73 feet from bow to s te rn . This is not to mention that some of the greatest yachting talent in the country resides in Annapolis, such as Dr. Stuart Walker, and they are always around when the team wants to run a sem inar. Some places are football towns, but on any given day the Severn River bristles with as many masts as Long Island Sound.

Well, when you’re up against that, and you only have the Schuyl­kill and six Alphas, and you only practice as often as , without a coach, you can get-coax the team down to the river, you must con­sole yourself with glimmers of brilliance. You Uke the fact that you tea t Dr. Walker’s daughter, who sails for Swarthmore, or, you had the best s ta rt m the fifth race, or won a liffing match with tliree other boats in the sixth. It’s the same as the rationale you use in saymg the Eagles looked good against DaUas, because Lance Kentzl only burned Dick Harvey once.

Drexel finished sixth out of nine and didn’t look bad except for the three times Your Humble N arrator fouled out. George Share making his rookie appearance, sailed very well in the other di-

hotshot fresh ­men George Hay and Rich Peterson. Among them they have 28 years of racmg experience and five years of instructing

The D ra ^ T d e te n s e gave up only six o n hegrounds in the period, and except for L s ta k e , their pass defense Galeone was the workhorse on offense as he bat­tled his way to 28 tough yards, most of them on straight line plunges. The quarter ended in a

score less tie.In the second quarter, good conditioning paid off

for the home team. Upsala could manage only 17 total yards in the period against our very stingy defensive unit. Their effort went for naught, how­ever, as the offense still couldn’t get untracked. Les ’srogUe had the team doing everything but scoring, but scoring is what it’s all about. With a few breaks here and there, such as not dropping two interceptions with nothing but open field ahead, o r taking advantage of a blocked punt on the opponent’s 30 yard line, Drexel could have iced the game by halftime. Since the tem perature had reached about 97 by this time, it certainly could have used icing.

At halftime, the offensive coaches decided to go back to their original game planof nmningthe veer option. It was a wise move, since DU proceeded to march down the field seemingly at will. Upsala tried an onsides kick right away in an effort to catch the Dragons dozing but Mike Johnson alertly pounced on it at the Drexel 40. After an incomplete pass to Tom Godonis, Glen Galeone turned the co rner to the 43. On third down, Les Broglie was chased out of the pocket and somehow wound up on the Upsala 48. On the next play, Mark W issinger grabbed one at the 38. Danny M iller picked up D rexel’s 3rd. f irs t down in as many plays on a draw play to the 26. After a mix-up in the back- field, Broglie drilled one to Tommy Matthews at the nine, and two plays later, Les rolled to the right and, behind a beautiful block by Galeone, scored. Lynn Ferguson’s extra point attmept was

wide, but the Dragons had draw n f i r s t blood and

led, 6 — 0 .Upsala fumbled on the f i r s t p lay a f te r the en­

suing kickoff, and Bob M lgllorlno reco v ered on the Upsala 25. Galeone swept around righ t end for 18 yards, due largely to Danny M il le r 's cross-body block on the end, for a f i r s t and goal a t the seven. I ^ s Broglie then turned the o th e r c o m e r accom ­panied by a convoy of Mike Johnson and Jody B relsford fo r the sc o re . This tim e the kick was good and Drexel led 13-0 a f te r slightly m ore than 3 minutes of the half had elapsed .

The defense was in sp ired by th ese offensive hero ics and came out f ired up a f te r the kickoff, which had been re turned to the U psala 25. They batted down a p ass over the middle on f i r s t down, losing end Ron Schm idt’s s e rv ic e s fo r the r e s t of the afternoon on the play. Paul L it and Herbie Hamill then dropped the q u a rte rb ack fo r a three yard loss, bringing up a 3rd and 13 on the 22. An incomplete pass followed, and then Mick V etter and Felix Salvi put a trem endous ru sh on the punter (who had received a high snap from cen ter) and nailed him on the eleven. L es B roglie h it captain Tom Matthews two plays la te r fo r the s c o re and that, coupled with F e rg ie ’s ex tra point, m ade it 20

to 0 .Upsala refused to ca ll it quits, though, and

scored on the ir next offensive play via a 72 yard pass to Ken C iesla . The two-point a ttem p t was no good, so the sco re rem ained 20 to 6 .

The Dragons came r igh t back with a nice drive that featured p asses to B re ls fo rd and W issinger, and got to the two yard line befo re B rog lie was caught for a ten yard loss and clipping w as de­tected to put the ball back on the 19. F e r g ie 's field goal try from the 26 was sh o rt. It w as se e -saw for the next few minutes as F e rg le and F ra n k Buchy made interceptions while B roglie th rew one of his own. After Buchy’s act of th ievery , Jody B re lsfo rd went off tackle for 23 yards, the la s t ten of which he ca rried a Viking on his back. A few m ore line plunges followed, and then Galeone took a pitchout and raced 27 yards to the th ree , w here he was knocked out of bounds, B roglie was in te rcep ted in the end zone, though, as the period ended. The arithm etic now read 27 to 6 .

One got a feeling of deja-vu as the fourth q u ar te r opened with Upsala on its own 20. Jack K ersey was

run, frosh, runThose who like athletic events

with human in terest sidelights should be enthralled with our cross-country team. Due to un­foreseen circum stances, there is only one returning letterman, junior Bob Kushner, on the team.

Obviously, cross-country fits the mold of the other fall sports in tliat Its persoiuiel are inex­perienced; however, it goes one step farther than the others. Through necessity, Drexel Is tak­ing full advantage of the recent MAC ruling that allows freshmen to participate In varsity compe­tition. Besides Kushner, the only h a r r ie rs that were even In col-

O’Brien. Junior Glen Lysinger, who was expected to be the main­stay of the squad, is injured and will m iss the entire season.

As many Drexel frosh a re now discovering, it is quite a tra n s i­tion from high school hotshot to college freshman, and that goes double in athletics. Ted Davis iiob Keissling, J a c k Bluinenl stock, Doug Wise, and Steve Ko- ziki will find that tlielr competi­tion may be as many as five years older than Uiey are , with Uie stamina U»at only years of p rac ­tice can develop.
