Law Faculty Vetoes Tenure for Black' Prof
by Tracy Hughes Jerome Shuman, a black professor
at the Georgetown University Law Center has been denied tenure by a vote of the school's tenured faculty.
Had he been approved, Shuman would have' been the Law Center's first tenured black member.
While Shuman termed the rejection of his tenure appeal "probably a mistake," Black American Law Students Association Coordinator Al Wynn charged that the vote was a result of "racism at Georgetown Law Center."
"There has never been a tenured black," Wynn charged, "they don't
want one now." Shuman has announced that he
will appeal the decision to the faculty .and to University President Timothy Healy, who will make the final determination in the case. Shuman speculated that he was denied tenure because the Faculty Affairs Committee, which is charged with making tenure recommendations to the whole faculty, was not aware that he will soon be publishing a law journal article. As Visiting Professor of Diplo
macy at the, School of Foreign Service, Kissinger will: deliver a lecture in the School's Interdependence Series, hold a Dean's Office Seminar, give the Frank C. Nash Lecture in International Security Affairs, and conduct the closing
Mr. Jon Vondracek, spokesman for the CSIS, reported that although mostly invited guests will attend the conference, there will be room for some students. "The hall (at- the CSIS) accommodates a couple hundred people and I expect that some st.Udents will be able to attend", he
Neither University nor State Department officials would speculate as to whether.Kissinger would remain at Georgetown after the six month contract expires in September.
Simon Chosen to Board
"The committee did not see the article in their final determination," Shuman commented. "I would like to talk to the members of the committee and the faculty to see if th~y can tell me more about the deciSion," he remarked.
When asked in an interview to speculate on why KiSSinger chose to "accept the GU offer, SFS Dean Peter Krogh cited the good academic reputations of both the SFS and the CSIS, the convenient locations of both in respect to Kissinger's present home, and Kissinger's personal relationship with CSIS Chairman, David M. Abshire.
According to Krogh, Georgetown drew up the six month contract because "we had an indication that this was what he was looking for."
by Mary Lou Hartman William E. Simon, former
Secretary of the Treasury under the Nixon-Ford administration, has been appointed to the Georgetown University Board of Directors.
Assistant to the PreSident, Charles Meng, explained the choice, saying "Simon was chosen because he is lm important man, and a deep believer in academics, which is why Simon will hold an academic seat on the Board, rather than a financial position. He is deeply committed to the continuance of the American culture."
SEC Contract Forbids X-Rated Films in LA-6
, ... "''' «::hris Graham and Andy Feirstein running as a ticket in this year's Student Government elections

of the undergraduate schools_ "We're paying a lot of money," he said. "I think it can be better spent."
Entertainment Commission booked the film into Gaston due to an agreement made with the Medical Center prohibiting the showing of X·rated films in the Medical Center auditorium. •
SEC Film Director Jack Morkan, discussing the agreement, said; "I'm not sure what the exact written agreement is, but I know that we made a verbal agreement (last semester) not to show X-rated films in LA·6. It seemed like a reasonable request; it's the only movie this semester that will be booked into Gaston. '
"I think they (the Medicill Center) just had philosophical objections to us showing X·rated movies there," Morkan continued. "It was more of an afterthought on their part; they didn't give any specifics on it."
Simon declined a position on the Board's Financial Committee, favoring isntead the Main Campus Affairs Committee. This office is in charge of educational, academic, and fiscal affairs pertaining to the campus.
After accepting the appointment, Simon said, "I have long considered Georgetown one of our nation's finest universities for the quality of education and high - standards of scholarship and learning it prOVides."
Simon was unavailable for further comment.
Simon worked as a bond broker and senior partner in the banking firm of Salomon Brothers, before joining the Nixon administration, first as a energy czar and then in 1974 as Secretary of the Treasury. As Secretary, Simon was one of Nixon's closest economic advisers.
Wynn termed the decision "blatantly ridiCUlOUS", noting that "he (Shuman) has an advanced law degree from Yale, is a well respected professor, has worked in government and compares well with the members of the faculty."
BALSA, according to Wynn, will support Shuman's appeal and is willing to file a lawsuit in the professor's behalf if other avenues prove unsuccessful.
Professor Donald Schwartz, chairman of the Faculty Affairs Committee, noted that tenure decisions are based on several factors. "Prospective tenured faculty must be measured by their teaching career, scholarship abilities, service to the community and their character," Schwartz was quoted by the Law Weekly as saying ..
Medical Students May Be Asked to Pay Council Fees
A propo'sal that the Med School Student., Council' act as a' recipient for Med School tuition will be considered for the third time by the Student Council next Thursda:y.
Tom Yatteau, president of the third year med students, who originally made the proposal, noted that its intent was "not to withhold (tuition) but to graphically demonstrate how much the students contribute to the University. "
But Yatteau did note that should the university prove unresponsive to student demands then the proposal would "lay the groundwork for
subsequent actions in the future." Due to the fact that tuition is due
for med students by January 31, student council leaders noted that it would probably be impossible for them to collect this semester's tuition.
However, Yatteau noted that he would likely call for med students to pay the stUdent council this semester "for effect."
At the two previous sessions, "attendance problems," kept the Council from reaching a decision on the proposal, according to Student Council Tom Findley.
Joining candidates Debbie Canty' and Chris Graham in the race for the February 16th election, SFS junior WiliiarnCargill announced thJs week his plans to run for Student Government President. The HOY A will profile Cargill's campaign in the ne'xt issue. This week the HOY A focuses on candidate Chris Graham.
SG Elections'
Of the other undergraduate schools, he contends that SBA's budget is "too small", the curriculum of the Nursing School is, to a large extent, Impractical, and that SLL is not keeping pace with its rival, institutions. The College, he says, must emphasize the humanities and guard against over-specialization.
On another matter, the candidates complained that the University's contribution in financial aid is inadequate. Feristein, an SFS economics and Latin American Studies major, called for the establishment of a "fund-raising arm" which would try to raise money through benefits and increase the amount of aid available.
SAC Freezes S G Budget In' December the University's
Board of Directors approved a near doubling of Med School tuition from an average of $5725 to an average of $10,000 per year. The tuition increase arose, according to University officials because of the termination of the DC Manpower Act. Claiming that "there's a better
Student Government among the student body than there is in Healy basement," SG Presidential candidate Chris Graham says that if elected he will attempt to recruit new faces from all sectors of the University and thus increase student involvement.
Graham, a two-term s'Ludent senator and a member of the Main Campus Finance Committee, claims that SG at present is too "cliquey." "There are so many talents outside of Student Government," he said, "I want to see other people involved."
Graham, who suggested that favoritism dominated in the majority of appointments made by past SG Presidents, said that he would recruit people for SG on the basis of merit. "What we intend to do," he said, "is send out a mimeographed want-ad. It will detail what pOSitions are open, what the job entails, who to see and When."
Graham's running·mate Andrea Feirstein, an SEC Commissioner contends that "in the past a presidential appointment was a fait accompli by the time it reached the appropriate senate sub-committee." As an alternative, she said, "We would interview the applicants, and, if acceptable, ultimately recommend them to the full senate for approval."
Graham, a sophomore accounting major in the School of Business Administration, also called for' the creation of two additional vice presidential positions in SG. One would deal with academic affairs
. wbich Graham says is foremost among his concerns-and the other would handle the problems of off-campus and commuter students.
One responsibility of the VP for academic affairs, said Graham, would be to arrange for well-know professionals and educators to teach a one semester course at GU. Such a program, he contends, would stimulate student interest and in-volvement. •
He added that the VP concerned
If GU can't live up to the ideals it professes in anyone of its undergraduate schools, Graham maintains that it would be better to close "that school down.
Graham contends that "better administration" in the non-academic areas can keep budget costs down an~,. in so doing, protect the quality
When questioned about the University's involvement in the DC area through service-related projects, Graham said such action was commendable, but added that "we should l take care of our own house first." Students must develop themselves, he said, before they go "proselytizing beyond Healy Gate."
In addition, both candidates stressed that they would remain open for any suggestions from the Student Body.
The Student Government budget has been frozen pending the updating of Student Government books and other adjustments, Student Activities Comptroller Steve Bell announced yesterday.
SG President Bob Gage stated that he expected the freeze to "last not more than three days."
Bell froze the SG budget after its balance fell over $100 below the level which must be maintained until the new executive takes office.
Dorms Found Unsafe by Greg Kitsock and Doug Schoppert
Despite the inst!lllation a year and a half ago of ali $85,000 computerized security system, several dorms and University buildings are still far from secure.
A HOY A survey has found that the glass doors in Harbin, New South, St. Man"s and Reiss can be easily opened using an uncoiled coathanger.
In addition, an intruder can break into Copley simply by taking hold of the grating and giving the door a hard tug.
Director of Security Charles A. Lamb admits that there is a security problem at Georgetown, noting "it concerns me ... but anything anybody makes you can find a way to break into."
He commented, however, that he was much less apprehensive about break·ins than he was about the problem of "tailgating" - students with ID's holding the doors open to let intruders in_ GU Security has yet to apprehend any trespassers who have broken into the dorms with a coathanger. According to Lamb, all
. tresspassers who were caught in the dorms claimed they got in by tailgating.
Asked if the dorm entrances could be made coathanger-proof, Lamb
replied that it was "a problem of changing hardware, and 1 don't know the monetary impact. It's an expensive proposition that I don't know if . the University wants to get involved in." "
"The present system provides as much security as possible within the University's budgetary limits," the security chief insisted. He remarked that the buildings on campus were not designed for security purposes, claiming that they had too many entrances and too much glass. "I don't know of security directors being allowed to go in at theplanning stage of a building," Lamb commented, adding though that he had been consulted about the con·
. struction of the recreation complex. The present computerized system
"is the best thing to come along in a while, but it's not a panacea,'? Lamb said. He cited two advantages that the card readers have over systems used in the past: a lost card can be taken out of the system, and an alarm system alerts security personnel when a door is propped open.
The October 4, 1976 issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education referred to the card reader system as "one of the most sophisticated and comprehensive of (security systems) being installed on American cam-
puses." " Since the card readers were
installed 18 months ago, the number of trespassers has decreased by over 25%, and monetary losses from theft have gone down over 40%, according to Lamb. Only one break·in was reported last semester, when burglars broke into a Loyola room and carted off $2,000 worth of jewelry. Several stereos were stolen from Darnall residents during the Christmas break, but no doors were forced open.
G U security personnel echoed L1Ul1b's opinion that most intruders are let in the dorms by students. "VI hy should you draw attention to yourself with a coathanger when all you have to do is find a G U student to let you in?" Student Guard Coordinator Mike Possilico stated. He added that a disadvantage of using a coathanger is that if the thief were caught with such a tool, police would have no trouble establishing criminal intent, even if nothing had been stolen. '
Chris Spiller, a rover for GU security, claimed students frequently create security risks by propping open doors with cans and other objects, and leaving the doors of their rooms unlocked. "Students have a personal responsibility for dorm safety," he added.
The only authorized 'expenditure until the freeze is lefted will be the salary of the Student Government secretary. '.
Bell and Gage noted that telephone charges and a portion of the SG secretary's salary remain unpaid by the Student Corp to the SG account. In addition, advertizing and Xerox bills to Student Government are still outstanding, Gage said, and with their collection he antiCipated that the freeze would be lifted.
Under the DC medical·Dental Manpower Act, Congress provided up to $5000 in grants for medical students and $3000 for dental stUdents. The Manpower Act, however, expired on June 30, 1976 and has not been renewed by Congress.
Under the proposal according to Yatteau, "stUdents would write their ,
I
Dezpite the installation of an $85,000 card reader security system, it is still possible to easily gain entrance illegally to many University dorms.

to spend such huge sums for additional armaments, citing figures that the US arsenal already includes --8,900 nuclear warheads, compared to 3,500 for the Soviet Union.
Georgetown undergraduate students will be surveyed on the validity of the University's "liberal arts core program" at this spring's preregistratio~, according to Vice President for Academic Affairs Rev. Aloysius Kelley, SJ.
Kelley noted that other aspects of the evaluation have included self-studies ·by the School, of Languages and Linguistics and the Business School and annual depart-

deans, and department chairmen to 'submit questions "which they feel should be asked in regard to the liberal arts reqUirements."

Schneiders Is Cleared by US
by Rod Kuckro Greg Schneiders, the former
Georgetown UJ}iversity stUdent who withdrew himself from certain appointment as President Carter's appointments secretary due to an investigation by the U.S_ Attorney's Office of alleged financial misconduct, was cleared by U.S. Attorney Earl Silbert last Saturday.
Schneiders's attorney, John Karr, said "1 don't think he's lost anything. He does expect, and I expect, he will be working in the White House."
Meanwhile, Carter has indicated that Schneiders will receive a post in his administration after all.
However, it won't be as appointments secretary. During the controversy surrounding Schneiders, Carter appointed Tim Kraft, director of field operations during the campaign, to that high level post. It was announced by Carter's staff Tuesday that Schneiders will occupy a unique position in the administration. His title will be "Director of Presidential Projects," a purposely nebulous and unprecedented position; according to . ,

(Schneiders) just missed the boat
Discussing the B-1 from a military point of view, Laroque noted that the 244 bombers requested by the Air Force would cost the taxpayers a total of 94 billion dollars. He expressed doubt that the US needed
for the top jobs, but at least he's on board the ship."
In a letter to Karr, which Silbert said "closes the matter," the U.S_ AttGrney's Office "concluded that no prosecution was warranted" concerning allegatiOns that Schneiders had illegally collected almost $6,000 in lmemployment compensation from the District in 1975 while operating two restaur-ant consulting firms.
While Schneiders did receive the payments of $117 per week, extensive investigation into his financial situation at the time showed that Schneiders was entitled to the benefits.

"OPEN HOUSE" For tM Georgetown Community

Although the USSR holds the edge in bombers and ICBM's, much' of their eqUipment is outmoded, the admiral maintained.
"The B·1 is a supersonic, highaltitude aircra;ft whose purpose is to carry nuclear weapons ~o the Soviet Union," Laroque continued. Noting that the B-1 would take six hours to reach the USSR in case of war, he commented sarcastically that it would "arrive six hours after we've already blasted the, Soviet Union with about 10;,000 nuclear weapons" via missiles.
Laroque admitted that the construction of the bombers would provide jobs for 70,000 people. However, he argued that the money coul(l be used to provide jobs in other areas, such as the construction of housing or the development of rapid transit systems.
The admiral was pessimistic that President Carter would veto the bomber project. "My guess is that he will delay until June, and will eventually approve it if we don't do something," he said.
Laroque warned that if the US goes ahead with the project, "it will send a signal to the Russians from Carter and us that we are going to go gung·ho on the arms race and they can do the same."
Cautioning that "there is no way to defend against ICBM's," Laroque insisted that the superpowers have nothing to gain from destroying each other. In fact, he added, "Even if we shoot off just our own weapons, we could wipe ourselves out from the fallout and the destruction of. the ozone layer."
The ,former Pentagon official noted that the US is currently building 11 new Trident submarines at $2 billion apiece. Each' will carry 408 nuclear weapons, "enough to destroy every major city in the Soviet Union," according to Laroque. Noting that "we've alrMdy lost two nuclear submarines" (neither of which was carry ing nuclear weapons), the admiral warned of the dangers which would result" if a Trident sank.
"We should have redundancy in our forces, but the days of the manned bomber are dead and gone," Laroque adde~, questi9ning the need for both the B-l and the Tridents. .

In a memorandum announcing the proposed survey, Kelley remarked that the University's liberal arts program should be assessed in the context of "the meaning of 'liberal arts' in the twentieth century ... of a Jesuit, Catholic University .. . (and) the relationship between
liberal, arts and career orientation."
According to Kelley, the survey would-be distributed on a mandatory basis to preregistering students, who would be required to complete it in order to have their pre· registration fprms accepted.
Chern., Grad. Fellovvs Drop Strike, by Kathy Brown
The Graduate Chemists Organization voted Tuesday night not to stage a contemplated strike to protest what they term inadequate stipend increases, according to GCO chairman Robert Atwell.
Atwell stated that the reason for opposing a' strike was the organization's resolution to avoid hurting the undergraduate chemistry program, in
which many Chemistry fellows serve as instructors.
However, Atwell commented that nnder the present situation under~ grads will be hurt because "unconsciously people will stop caring about class preparation, and the quality of education afforded to the students will most: definitely reflect the tension on the part of the Chemistry Teaching Assistants."
The organization's next step is to
contact University President Fr. Timothy Healy and the University Board of Diredors in order to attempt further negotiations.
Atwell cited the fact that financial difficulties have already affected many chem students. Because of the low stipend that the grads receive, which is. below the current national average, many students are considering changes in their degree candidacies, according to Atwell_

Vice President of Student Council Richard Sullivan noted that the grievances of med students include, aside from tuition, a student voice in preparing the budget, need for' improved courses and clinical instruc~ tion, late notification of clinical assignments and a lack of flexibility
in the choice of elective courses. "We want to make sure that the
monies that are being charged are being spent prudently; that the Med Center is not going into a lot of government programs that they'll withdraw from later," Sullivan com-mented. '

Although a tuition ceiling of $12,500 per student was set by the University, exact tuition figures have yet to be determined, according to the office of Med Center financial administrator John Greenbaum.
The Med School newspaper Review of Systems reported however that tuition had been set at $8250 for seniors, $8750 for juniors, $11,500 for sophomores and $12,500 for entering students.

Last year, in anticipation of a possible increase in tuition, Med students sought to withold $75,000 in tuition by placing it in an escrow account. However, the US House of Representatives passed an extension of the Act in April, 1976, relieving the emergency situation. '
"Over the past few years Chancellor Matthew, McNulty has ,pointed out .' 01).' 'several .. , occ~sions ., that 'Georgetown ~nd Georg~ .Washington were' in similar "stra:its;" 'Sullivan noted. "If GWU has been able to hold tuition' down Georgetown should be able to do so as well."

Election Commission Named by Alan Fogg
Student Government Presi~ent Bob Gage has announced the appointment of Junior Saitta as chairman of the 'Student Government Election Commission. Saitta's nomination and those of the other members of the commission will/go before the Student Senate this Sunday for ratification.
Saitta noted in an interview that he has already received complaints that certain candidates have begun their campaigns early, in violation of student government regulations.
Under election rules, any campaigning before the ten day official campaign period, which begins February 6, is illegal.
In addition candidates' for president will be limited, to between 250 and 300 dollars of total campaign

expenditures. Student senators will be held to a spending limit of $25.
Saitta commented that the new· proposed student government constitution, which comes before the senate on Sunday, could pose problems for the commission.
"If they pass it," Saitta noted, "we will have to decide how to narrow the number of senators per class from 7 to 3."
The proposed constitution calls for 3 senators per class instead of the present 7. The senate is expected to vote on the constitution when it meets this Sunday.
The election commission's other fimctions include "drawing up the ballot, making and enforcing election rules, making sure there is no vote tampering and setting the date of the elections," according to Saitta. " '

"There are pressures in South Africa we cannot ignore. We must strive for the possibility of rational change not chaos," stated Ambassador UN designee Andrew Young in a speech before the United States Youth Council at Georgetown Wednesday morning.
Young noted that "the problem is not between black and white but between chaos and creative order." Young said that he looked towards a revival of the "general awareness" present during the early 60's to make gains in South Africa.

ADA Lobbyist Cameron Lectures For PAC Bomber Protest Group
by Tony Mattia "When :national issues are in
debate, the individual is not important," lobbyist Bruce Cameron stated while stressing the importance ,of group lobbying 'in a speech Tuesday which was part of the week long People's Action Caucus (PAC) protest against the proposed B-l Bomber.
Cameron, a noted lobbyist and member of Americans for Democratic Action, was asked to speak by the AC, which is presently part of the national campaign to stop the B-1 bomber. The lobbyist spoke about the techniques of lobbying to aid PAC in their efforts.
PAC has already put out a petition which has been) signed by hundreds of students, but Cameron
stressed, "The most effective form of lobbying is in the form of a letter to the Congressmen." He also said a letter to President Carter would be valuable.
At present, there are 25 lobbyists on Capitol Hill opposing the B-1 bomber. Answering the claim by proponents of a stronger defense program that the United States rates second in the quantity of defense weapons, the campaign claims that the US rates only 18th in doctorpatient ratios, 15th in literacy and 25th in life expectancy.
Cameron told the group to pursue just the B-1 bomber issue and to push for it until June, when some Congressional decision on the bomber is expected to be made.
Correspondent Hackes To Lecture at Seminar.
Peter Hackes, veteran NBC Washington correspondent, whose coverage of President Jimmy Carter dates back to the political primaries in the spring of 1976, will be the guest speaker .at the HOYA-Voice journalism seminar on Thursday, Jan. 27 at 8 p.m. in Room 104 Healy.
Hackes, who helped cover Thursday's Inauguration and the "transition" events leading up to it, will also be expected to ,bring to the seminar a first-hand report on' the Congress 'with which the new President will be dealing. Hackes is one of' NBC's re~orters on Capitol Hill, concentrating on the House of Representatives.
The seminar will be open to all . students of the University.
spondent Hackes is a graduate' of Grinnell College in Iowa where he edited the campus newspaper; he holds a: graduate degree in j9umalism from the UniversitYo'of Iowa and also holds two honorary degrees.
He served for three years with the Navy during World War 2, and currently holds a commission as a Commander in the naval reserve. He lives in Washington with his wife, Mary Ellen' and their three children ..
His news "beat" ,in Washington and"elsewhere' has ranged far outside politics at times-ranging from the transportation agency to the Pentagon and from the space program to the anti-pol1ution campaigns of the environmentalists.
Lenny Goodman, leader of PAC, commented in an interview, "The most important thing is for people to go to the rally on Saturday, January 22nd on the Ellipse behind the White House." Goodman went on to say, "First we must make people aware of the movement against the B-1 bomber; their commitments will come later."
activist who served as an aide to Martin Luther King and was present at his assassination.
Citing his "Constant involvement with students and church people around the world" Young speculated that his background will help him deal with delegates at the UN.
"With a kind of people-to-people communication I have, learned, there will be a breakdown of the catagOrization of the third world, and the east and west, the world doesn't conform to this anymore," he commented. Young said that his experience in working in Jordan, Lebanon and Jerusalem to arrange a pilgrimage for Martin Luther King, developed the' type of people·topeople diplomacy he says he wants to pursue. "I hope that style of diplomacy is appropriate in the UN" he added.
Young whose appointment must still be confirmed by the senate , remarked that "after what happened to Sorenson (referring to the ex-CIA Director Designate) nothing is certain. If the Senate said no it would take a great burden off my back."
According to the newly designated Ambassador, "we must develop a policy based not on fear but on hope. We must take the risk for peace which is not nearly as great as the risk of war."
When Young was questioned
t ,I
about the. fuction and necessity of the committee on Clear and Present Danger, which according to critics advocates a policy of limited nuclear war, and which the National Labor Party charges has certain GU faculty as members, he responded:
"It is an important part of our American lifestyle that our leadership debate and confront opinion. The Committee has every right to hold their views. However there's another side to the whole question."
Young stated ,that while the Com· mittee believes the major conflict in policy is a military conflict, "I be· lieve the basis of the conflict is economic. Communism is spreading as a result of economic and social disintegration."

Book sale has had a "minimal" effect on The Universi'ty Bookstore textbook sales, according to Bookstore Assistant Administrator Wayne Sharrer.
This semester for the first time the book co-op sold stationary as well as used books. According to head of the book co-op Beth Bartholomew, the supply sale has been "a definite success. We have sold all our supplies. The prices are so much lower than at the bookstore. Next semester we may order even more supplies."
Sharrer commented that it is "still to early to tell" how the sale of co·op supplies has affected the stationary sales of the University Bookstore.

The Corp Book Co-op allows a; student to sell his used books at a price set by the student himself from which the Corp deducts a 10% commission, said Bartholomew. The commission, which is used to pay overhead costs, such as the salaries of students hired to work for the sale, is a decrease from the 20% commission charged last year, she commented.
Books not sold at the book co-op are returned to their owners.
The University Bookstore on the other hand purchases used books from stUdents at 30 to 50%. Books that are not sold will be stored and "hopefully sold next semester," .according to Sharrer.
"The book sale has been a success," said Bartholomew. "We were budgeted for a $200 dollar loss but now it looks like we will break even."

WGTB Board Named by Bill Ejzak
A WGTB advisory board consisting of faculty, administrators and Washington area citizens has been established as part of a continuing reform of University relations with the campus FM radio station.
The board is an "advisory panel of men and women who can provide 'feedback' both from the Washington community as a whole and from the various component communities," according to a letter sent to prospective board members ..
Bob Uttenweiler, WGTB station manager, termed the paneH "an advisory board for both ,the University president and the station manager, not a policymllking body."
The formation of the advisory board was originally recommended by the University president's committee which was set up after the station's programming controversy with the University and the FCC in the fall of 1975. The, committee consiste,I of Fr. James Walsh, Fr. Vincent Beatty; Assistant to the President for Federal Relations Fr.

Once again, the question arises as to whether the dorms are secure from thievell, rapists and other nocturnal intruders. The results of aHOY A.survey on the matter are, to understate the issue, depressing.
t
ers in the dorms get in by "tailgating"~folIowing students who gain access legitimately, with their ID's. But when the midnight guards sat on duty, tailgating was impossible,-everyone who entered the dorm had to present a Georgetown ID or convince the guard he had a valid reason for being there. The same conditions applied to people who got in through the glass' doors, whether by coathangers or orthodox means.
An enterprising thief can bypass the much vaunted card readers and jimmy open the glass doors on several of the dorms with a bent coat hanger.
At Copley they're having open house-any criminal mastermind clever enough to give the door a good yank can gain aCcess.
We realize, as Security Director Charles Lamb put it, that ','anything anybody makes" can be broken into. However, we"feel that the University might provide more of a c,hallenge to intruders than a so-called security system that can be circumvented with a piece of metal wire.
-Perhaps it is time for the administration to admit that computerized security is a failure, and revive the 24 hour student guard system, which was more effective and cheaper.
Making the doors imperviou~ to sl{ch attacks would be an "expensive proposition," according. to Lamb. It is a pity the powers that be were not so concerned with finance when they installed their $85,000 metal sentries.
However, to limit our criticism to the administration would be blatantly unfair. Students frequently invite trouble by leaving the doors of their rooms wide open when neither occupant is present. Not a night goes by without Security receiving reports of dorm doors propped open with telephone books, broomsticks and beer cans. There is no excuse
A thief doesn't even have to use his own two hands; all he has to do is wait for some good samaritan student to let him in. .
Lamb has defended the computerized card readers, noting the advantages they have over the old key system. However, the card readers did not replace only the key system; they also replaced the student guards who used to sit at entrances at all hours of the night.
Students have an obligation, too. This is not to say that they should take the law into their own hands; however, if they feel that the stranger who walked in with them doesn't belong in the dorm, a phone call to Campus Security will bring help within minutes.

letters To the Editor:
-It was with disappointment and incredulity that I read Julie Van Camp's article, American Ballet Does a Number. A number was don!! alright and not by the ABT, but by Ms. Van Camp' in one of the most flagrant examples of plagiarism I have ever seen.
, Ms. Van Camp for the most part : gives us a nicely paraphrased version of Alan Kriegsman's (Pultizer Prize winning dance critic for the Washington Post) reviews of the ABT from December 8, 1976 to January 2, 1977. Material that Kriegsman does not provide is lifted wholesale from the pages of the Washington Star. For example, Ms. Van Cam's analysis pointing out the weakness of The Sleeping Beauty, its unwieldiness as a prodUction, the problem with its classical mime gestures and the choreographic content and the ABT's penchant for reviving and mounting lavish ballets is drawn from an analysis of that ballet published in the Washiliton Star on Friday, December 17,1976.
Paragraph 9 of Ms. Van Camp's . article, which deals with the ballet Le Sacre du Printemps, is a blatant paraphrase of the opening paragraphs of Mr. Kriegsman's article dealing with the same ballet published in the Washington Post on Thursday, December 9, 1976. Ms. Van Camp's one line statement about the performance of Sallie Wilson in Pillar of
Coathanger Security
letters letters Fire matches admirably Mr. Kriegsman's one line statement about the ballet. Her conclusions that the corps was sloppy in La Bayadere, that the choreography of Concerto is insipid, that Marianna Tcherkassky portrayed the right amount of sassiness in her debut in the Don Quixote "pas de deuw," her analysis of Billy the Kid (drawn from Kriegsman's review of the television performance on PBS's Dance in America series), and her statement about Leslie Browne's lovely line have their origin in Kriegsman's many articles written during the time period mentioned above. When Kriegsman only mentioned something in passing, Ms. Van Camp's statements are equally brief. If he devoted more time in an analysis, Ms. Van Camp's analysis can be found to be correspondingly longer. The list could go on!
Does Ms. Van Camp so underestimate the reading public that she thinks blatant plagiarism of this kind will go unnoticed? The student directory informs me that Ms. Van Camp is in Law School. Tsk! Tsk!
The editors of the Hoya cannot really be held responsible' for this article that was foisted on them, but I suggest a decision be made that would prevent Ms. Van Camp from ever again expressing other's opinions in a campus publication ..

Response EDITOR'S NOTE: Plagiarism
("the wrongful appropriation. .. and publication as one's own, of the ideas, or the expression of the ideas . . ,of another," Oxford English Dictionary) is a very serious charge_ Ms. MacPherson does not quote nor claim to have found any plagiarism in the sense .. of the literal use of the words of others, nor have we found any. Thus, Ms. MacPherson is apparently charging plagiarism in the sense of using someone else's ideas, a charge we also find unjustified.
Ms. Van Camp's review was based on her attendance last month at a total of 21 performances of 12 ballets (the company brought 13 ballets, but Ms. Van Camp had the flu the weekend of "Swan Lake "). Indeed, since October, 1975 (the earliest reference in her review), she has seen ABT in no fewer than 98 performances (32 of those in New York) ot 36 ballets. Her review also draws from her research over several years for her almost- completed doctoral dissertation in aesthetics, "Philosophical Problems of Dance Criticism." We stand by the revi~w and believe a comparison of some of the questioned passages refutes a charge as serious as plagiarism.

Infantile Paralysis Once again good 01' Georgetown
University made news across the Washington Post, Another Hoya rejected from Carter's staff'? (demonstrating cold judgement and good taste). Another raise in tuition?(once again proving the best things in life are free). No, not these my friends, for this news will make Georgetown the envy of every institution of higher learning in the free world and the ECAC.
In the biggest mistake since Georgetown was believed to be named the third toughest school in the country, Georgetown has picked up Henry Kissinger for a song (and a dance). Mr. Kissinger signed on waivers when he had played out his option at the State Dept. Georgetown has also shown interest in acquiring Gerald Ford, William Simon and Yogi Bear.
The news has stirred gre~t response and emotion among a once· apathetic Georgetown populace. Some were known to have laughed publicly while a great mood of inquisitiveness grew on campus. Shouts of "Henry Who?" and "I thought Krogh was going to get an ambassadorship" resounded across Healy circle.
However, already outside Kissinger's proposed office, where he will allegedly meet with students occasionally, SFS Kissinger groupies have set up shop. Armed with their SFS handbooks, attache cases and copies of Mind and Power, tli.ey wait
for a chance to meet Kissinger or for the Washington Monument to dance in the tidal basin, Whichever comes first.
It has also been reported that Mr. Kissinger turned down several lucrative and meaningful pOSitions to come to the Hilltop. He could have gone to Lockheed and become a crook, but he chose to come to Georgetown instead. This is not to intimate that the position of Visiting Professor of Diplomacy, while sounding Silly, is not a challenge for a former Secretary and that John
And They Call
me an Infant/ Junior Saitta
Carrol will stand up and salute female visitors passing through Healy circle.
Upon the announcement of his coming here, Henry or Dr. KiSSinger was offered an apartment in Henleville, which he turned down after a diplomatic gesture similar in appearance to the American custom of laughing loudly_The Foreign Service Fraternity tried to get him to ·join. However the former Secretary of State, it appears, is not, fond of ingesting inordinate quantities of
alcoholic and semi-toxic liquids which might cause him to blow lunch.
Yet all has not been excitement, cheers and laudits_ There have been some doubts about the marriage of Georgetown and KiSSinger. When first reached, Kissinger eommented, "I don't like students, 1 don't dislike students," a statement which an' unknown administration source labeled Gobbledygook. Some cite his past r.ecord in their complaints of the former Secretary of State_ Critics have attacked the reluctance of the State Department to withdraw our boys from Korea. This line of attack is unfounded, as this has no bearing whatsoever on Kissinger's ability as a professor. Besides how can we withdraw our troops f~om Korea with all those trees left to be chopped down?
There is some question of the value of paying Henry Kissinger $15,000 not to meet with students. Just think what it would cost us for him not to talk with faculty and administration. $15,000 for what he'll actually do for Georgetown;. it could make track scholarships seem justified. Seriously, Georgetown students will get more use out of John Carrol's statue, who'll meet with more students on Friday and Saturday nights than Kissinger will in a given semester. With what he's getting for occasionally meeting with students, all I can say is -get to the bank, Hank,'cause you got it made in the shade.
liThe SG Plunge" by Kenneth Hafertepe
A recurrent theme of student government election rhetoric is the lack of a sense of community at Georgetown_ And, as in all previous
'campaigns, "community" seems destined to get bandied about this time, too. The first to take the SG plunge is Debbie ..canty, ..and her running mate Dan Burke has thrown out the first' jeremiad of the campaign. Mr. Burke told The HOYA that "We're not a community at Georgetown. You can only build a community by filling specific needs; you can build a community by making American Studies majors feel that they have a place here by (giving the department) a budget."
This is an interesting statement indeed. After saying that there is little community at Georgetown, Mr. Burke advocates the creation of another department as a solution. This makes precious little sense as a solution to a lack of cohesiveness.
First, if the existence of all the other departments has not created a community, how will the existence of one more do so? Not every "filling of a specific need" will increase the sense of community, else the problem would not exist, since "specific needs" are continuously filled at this university.
Further, it seems that by institutionalizing American Studies we might be building up the same walls that exist .between the established departments. American Studies' great strength is that it integrates the disciplines, which contributes to a sense of academic community. Perhaps an administrator is needed to ease the burden of those faculty members involved in the program, but that is a point to be made somewhere else, not under the banner of community.
"Another way to do it," Mr. Burke continues, "is through residential halls; I think that the Arts. Hall, for example, is a really good step in identifying a community of people with similar interests." This opens up another can of worms. Is community nothing more than the commonality you find in small cliques? If so, the Community of Georgetown consists of independent clusters of individuals with common
interests, with no unifying bonds between CI"usters. In addition to an Arts Hall, we could have pre-med halls, business halls, and in general create the homogeneity of contacts which is now avoided by having halls of just plain people.
Mr. Burke wishes to counteract the "inward looking nature of stud,ent life.'~ How is the student to do this? By· going' 'outside cifthe, Georgetown community;' But it' seems that under this system of

way of getting to know your fellow students, I'd say. Agai'n, the idea of getting out in the DC area for public service projects is admirable, but for heaven's sake don't say it's going to strengthen the sense of community wh\!n it does nothing of the kind.

We do need to emphasize a broader education (if in fact we are not a professional school) and to take advantage of the diverSity of students and faculty right here on campus.

Qlts & leisute Moods and Tunes in a Refreshing Classical Gas
Opera holds center stage this month; so much so that were he, around today, Otis B. Driftwood woul4 certainly be pleased.
Ask anyone on the street to name an opera company and the chances are they'll say "La Scala". (Actually, if you asked someone on the street to name an opera company, he'd probably look at you funny and avoid you in the future-Editor's note). Last summer the Scala company brought a production of Verdi's Macbeth to Washington. That same production is now available on record (DGG 2709-062) and it is not to be missed. The cast is first rate; . Shirley Verrett and Placido Domingo sing splendidly. Nicolai Gedda is beginning to show signs of wear and tear, but he still has several good performances left in hi~ .. Claudio Abbado's conducting is as coRect as the witches' prediction. Faithful to .Shakespeare it isn't, but the butchery of The Bard is more than made up for by some of Verdi's very best music. .
What'S with Elizabeth the First of England? Elisabetta; Regina D'Inglaterra (Philips 6703-067) is a must for
Rossini fans. The music is typical RossinL.which is to say all great things operatic. Monserrat Caballe is devastatingly good; her voice, her texture, her whole approach to this role is sheer perfection (she is also as facially unpleasant as Elizabeth was, but no matter!) Jose Carreras as Leicester is the ideal match for Caballe, and the music is conducted sprightly by Gianfranco Masini. History takes a back seat, but it's all worth it for a first act finale you are not likely to forget (the overture is rather familiar ;-·as well) and for Caballe's' performance. This performance is worth Philips' import price.
Although Die Meistersinger von Numberg is a "comic 'Opera", it is not the gut-buster Wagner intended when he first sat down to write it. Although I have not heard the new DGG version, the new release of Meistersinger on the London label (OSA 1512) is cause for Wagner fans to stand up and cheer. First and foremost, credit must be given to Sir Georg Solti for maintaining the proper pace throughout this long (occasionally over-long) opera. Under Solti's baton the piece never wavers; it is always crisp and every now and

Not surprisingly, Verdi's Otello is based on the Shakespeare play. Years ago, RCA released a recording of Otello which quickly became the standard. In it, Jon Vickers' was in his vocal prime, a powerful Otello; Leonie Rysanek,also in voice,was a pitiable, naive Desdemona, and Tito Gobbi's Iago was the essence of villainy and evil. Tullio Serafin, recognized as one of the world's top Verdi conductors, led the orchestra. RCA has reissued that legendary performance (AGL3·1969). It isn't every day you can obtain a legend at a budget price ... especially when everything about it screams "Bargain of the Month"!
Richard Wagner's first opera, Rienzi, is an odd blend of musical cliches which manages .to give. glimpses of the genius yet to be revealed. Recently released in all of its· dull completeness by Angel (SELX-3818), the opera s.ounds an awful lot mike Meyerbeer. Heinrich Hollreiser resists the temptation to
. conduct the work likeGotterdammer-ung (although there is a nifty finale
. with the capitol in fl,mes), and opts instead for a more Grand Opera approach. Filled with seemingly interminable choruses, marches, ballets and lengthy arias, Rienzi bears the treatment well. The standout in the cast is Rene Kollo, and with the exception of the always dependable Peter Schreier, the rest of the cast is good but not great. The chorus.must be singled out for special praise·; it sings often and always well. 'l'hough the immature music of Wagner raises some serious questions, Angel's production is commendable .. and quite a revelation!
Moving away from opera, RCA has released a set which is for serious collectors only. Early in World War Two, Arturo Toscannini recorded a series of works with the Philadelphia
Arts Ailing
.!
Orchestra. Due to the war· time quality of the masters and other technical factors ,however, most of these works have never been released. After several years of effort, RCA's engineers have put together a five record package of Toscannini and the Philadelphia Orchestra (RCA CRM5-1900).The recording quality is still a bit on the "unacceptable" side in spots, but if you are serious about music, the brilliant renditions of Toscannini manage to come through the scratch and swirl. Schubert's The Great Symphony and Mendelssohn'sMidsummer Night's Dream are two standouts in this record. package. If you can afford it, it is not to be missed.
Take a honky·tonk piano, blend thoro'ughly with a musical genius, fold in some foot stomping melodies, shake and pour over two good pianists and one great one and you come up with Music for Piano Four Hands by Louis Moreau Gottschalk (Vanguard VSD 71218). The music is so damned delightful that you may not see quickly just how inspired and clever it is. Eugene List once again shows himself to be a versatile pianist, great if not legendary, bold
and always inventive. Real music is seldom this muchiun.
Andre Previn has got to be the most improved conductor of the last ten years. This is amply demonstrated by his recording of Rachman· inoff's Isle of the Dead and the Symphonic Dances (Angel S-37158). The Isle of tile Dead is a slow, fluid work on the order of a Strauss Tone Poem. Previn's conducting is an exercise in delicate shadings and brooding contrasts. He manages to negotiate the Symphonic Dances with a light touch (perhaps a trifle too light), evoking all of their etherial charms and airy beauties. We could not have gotten such a recording out of Previn three years ago; the improvement is noticeable and all for the better.
What's so unusual about a budget priced recording of the Brahms' Concerto for Violin and Cello and the Saint-Saens Concerio for Cello? Nothing really, other than that the violinist is Nathan Milestein and the cellist Gregor Piatigorsky (RCA AVM1-2020). The orchestras are conducted brilliantly by Fritz Reiner. It is a very, very good recording.

Taxi Driver Robert De Niro, CybiJ Sheperd Directed by Martin Scoresee Rated R, 112 mins_ Fri. & Sat. 8:00 p.m. LA-6
The art and ability of Robert De Niro is brutally displayed. The Academy Award winner's performance is stunning. He is a New York City "hack" (cabbie) who becomes compulsively involved with the city's "night people" while driving his "beat" through the seamy parts of the city. The controversial movie shows the ex-
plosive results unleashed from one man's intense aloneness. Alone, he moves through the maddening crowd, jostled, brushed, ignored, abuse and hassled-always spilling his wild emotions into a daily diary. The climactic build-up is fierce and the ultimate, fatlll explosion is exhibited by the fiercest, most brutal twenty minutes of cinemagraphic production that I have ever encountered. Stunning, brutal, poignant, and heartbreaking, the movie is not one to be missed.

also happens to be an intelligent entity.
Scientists at a research station on the planet's surface stir up trouble when they bombard the ocean with X-rays as part of their experiments. The ocean retaliates by manufacturing and spewing forth lifelike duplicates of figures from the astronauts' past, figures calculated to dri ve the spacemen insane by preying on their guilt complexes.
Enter Kelvin, a psychologist sent to investigate the strange deaths and reports of hallucinations which have been plaguing the space station. He no sooner gets settled than he encounters a duplicate of Hari, the wife who committeed suicide when Kelvin walked out on her. Kelvin at first tries to dispose\of the duplicate, but gradually comes to accept her as though she were the original. By contrast, the other two scientists at the space station treat Hari and the other facsimiles contemptuously as alien forms of life.
Concurrent with this domestic conflict is the problem of hoV\ to handle a sentient ocean: ignore it, continue to attempt communication, or bombard it with another dose of radiation?
Whatever dramatic potential there
Although the film presumably taJ{es place far enough in the future for science to have developed an efficient form of interstellar travel, the clothes, architecture and automobiles in the earth scenes are straight out of the mid-twentieth century.
The film is not helped by the acting. In regard to Donatis Banionis' performance (he plays Kelvin), this is the first time I have ever seen a lead actor go through an entire film without changing his expression once. The actress who plays the sad-faced Hari looks perpetually as though she were about to burst into tears, which she frequently does.
The film takes itself much too seriously. Throughout the two and a quarter hours running time I searched in vain for a facial expression that might indicate some emotion other than deep depression. Maybe they just don't smile in Russia.

A Capitol Celebration by Charles Pekow
An unusually large crowd awaits the bus in front of the Georgetown Inn on Wisconsin Ave. It is 9:30 a.m. on Inauguration Day. The crowd is waiting for the Metrobus to take them to Capitol Hill to see history in the making.
Several limousines pull up to the Inn to pick up VIPs and take them to the hill. More limousines pass by carrying dignitaries down Wisconsin Ave. to the Capitol. Because they are already crowded with inaugural. ·bound people, several buses pass by before one stops.
The bus stops at Union Station, just north of the Capitol. The riders pour out and join the mass of people rushing toward the grounds. Ticket· less people line the sidewalks and the steps of the Supreme Court Building and the Library of Congress. Two students make a late and successful effort to gain admission to the lawn. In a House Office, a friendly congressional aide gives them two extras.

Back out into the crowd they' go. Despite police efforts to clear the ice and snow, the front steps of a House
. Office Building are covered with ice.' A sea of people swarms to the
gates on First St., SE to enter the snow covered Capitol lawn. You must possess a ticket to gain admission to the lawn.
The temperature hovers just above freezing level. General aamission ticket holders push their way to the gate at First St. and Independence Av., SE.
, Several guards examine their tickets and handbags as the people enter the gate, Once inside the lawn, they all walk more easily. They dash off to get as close as they can to the white presidential podium where Jimmy Carter will soon be inaugurated as President.
By 11:30 a.m., the scheduled time for the opening of the ceremonies, the entire lawn is filled with spectators.
A few crowd members strive for a better view. They climb the barren trees in the front of the lawn. The crowd cheers them as they climb up and settle on sturdy limbs.
The ceremony starts at 11:40, only ten minutes later than scheduled.
The crowd spots First lady-to·be Rosalyn Carter, who is dressed in turquoise. Joan Mondale, wife of the vice president-elect, comes and sits beside Rosalyn on the podium.
The band begins to play. Outgoing Vice President Nelson Rockefeller appears. Next comes President Gerald Ford, who receives applause from the crowd as he waves to it.
The crowd applauds more loudly for Walter Mondale as the soon·to·be Vice President arrives.
The biggest ovation of them all goes to Jimmy Carter as he waves to the .. audience and makes his way to the front of the podium.
After a benediction, Mondale and Carter are sworn into office_ Then Carter delivers his inaugural address.
As the band plays "God Bless America," the crowd then disperses.
Some people have felt enough of the cold air and head for shelter. Others walk across to the other side of the Capitol to wait for the parade which is scheduled to begin at 1:15 p.m. Still others march across the street to the House and Senate office buildings to attend receptions given by legislators for their constituents.

Arizona residents. Pennsylvania representatives host
a reception for their constituents . They serve sandwiches and provide drinks in a House conference room.
Senators Herman Talmadge (D·Ga.) and Mike Gravel (D.A!aska) greet visitors at open houses in their offices. The guests at Senator Adlai Stevenson's reception empty the buffet table rapidly.
Stevenson shakes hands and chats . with his guests until television reporters from Chicago snare him for on camera interviews.
Illinois' other Senator, Republican Charles'Percy, also entertains guests in his office. The Senator's family and staff attend.
Percy greets his constituents 'at the door. "Glad to see you. Come on in," he says. In his inner office, people relax with coffee and pastry while they view the inaugural events on a portable television.
The televisions are on in almost every legislator's office.
But not all Senators are hosting open houses in their offices. A sign on the office door of Senator Claiborne Pell invites his Rhode Island constituents to his George. town home later in the 'afternoon. Visitors to Pennsylvania Senator Richard Schweiker's office are told that the Senator is watching the parade with his family.
But you don't need to be a Senator or other dignitary to see the parade. All previous inaugural parade routes have been lined with bleachers. Only people with tickets were seated.
But now, only the last few.blocks of the parade route are lined with seats. The public 'covers the rest of Pennsylvania Ave.'s sidelines.
The crowd is only three or four people thick so everyone can see the parade clearly, as two exhibits from every state pass by.
One, marching band needs to realign itself to avoid marching in the same lines as the equestrians which preceded it.
Toward the end of the parade comes the Peanut Brigade. fyom Georgia. The brigade carries a giant helium-filled peanut balloon and tosses peanuts to the spectators
Around 3:30 p.m., the parade launches its last exhibit. The audience swarms into Pennsylvania Ave. following it.
More and more spectators join the throng, heading home' to downtown hotels or boarding buses.

by Warren Fink Kevin Byrne, currently. considered
among the top high school track men in the nation, has decided to attend Georgetown University. It is a choice that promises to aid this ambitious student·athlete, the Hoya track team and, in a more general manner, Georgetown itself.
understand why Kevin talks so brashly. He placed second in the Milrose Games mile (held annually at Madison Square Garden) as a sophomore. That same year, he set a national record for a high school sophomore in the mile run-4:15.6;
as Villanova and William & Mary because, he claims, GU offers. an exceptional mixture of track and scholastics. He agrees with Coach Lang who said, "Few schools can match our quality in both places." Byrne also envisions no· problems in keeping up with his workload. Such difficulties, he . says, haven't beset him in high school and he has been assured by Tim Conheeney, a current Georgetown harrier who also attended Paramus CAtholic, til at aca-
demics will be "no problem." Coach Lang says that "one of the
things we like about Kevin is his versatility." The coach says he feels that Kevin , lik'e current Hoyas Ron Stafford and Jim Peterson, can run almost any event requested of him, from the 440 to the 2% mile cross-country run. Lang asserts that adaptability is a necessity in the Georgetown track program, one that attempts versatility without a large number of men.

Seton Hall' Pirates Invade Hilltop Sat.
by Cindy Chilton . Coming off a magnificent 69-65
victory over a powerful Holy Cross team Tuesday night, the Hoyas will once again have a chance to prove the old adage, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." They take on the Pirates of Seton Hall tonight in McDonough Arena.
Seton Hall is the proud possessor of an impressive 11-4 record, three of their defeats coming at the hands of Top Twenty contenders-Utah, Tennessee, and a heartbreaking loss to Providence in overtime.
Starting at the pivot position, and a dangerous threafto any and every team, is 6-8 star Glenn Mosley. Leading the country in rebounding witl! a
17 rpg and sporting a 20_2 ppg scoring average, Mosley outplays his opponents with the furvor of a dynamite explosion.
Helping Mosley out is a good backcourt consisting of 6·1 Greg Tynes (23.6 ppg) and Nick Caris (10.8 ppg). The Pirates lack a large front line, with 6-3 Randy Duffy (13.2) and Mark Coleman (7.2 ppg) starting at the forward positions.
Seton Hall should make the ECAC and NIT this year, with their speed and excellent shooting. However, they have a very small team overall, which could prove to be a problem against the giant Hoyas_ The Pirates are boasting an 86.2 point average per game, so the Hoyas will have to

"It's just another place to play," said Georgetown guard Derrick Jackson recently. He added that neither he nor his Hoya teammates were more nervous about playing in the Garden than they would be· about other games played elsewhere.
But what about that 1S-point loss to Purdue in ,the Semi-Finals of last month's Garden Holiday Festival?
"We just got beat," Junior Craig Esherick told The Hoya, agreeing with Jackson that there was reall~ "nothing special" about playing in the Garden. "They (Purdue) just. have a good team," he added .. "There's really nothing I can tell you."
"We played really badly," said D.J., noting that the team's play could be adequately described a~ being "like a sleep." Commenting on his meager four-point output in the Purdue contest, Jackson smiled. "J

upped their record to 3-1 last Tuesday night with a convincing victory over Western Maryland. Coach John Wooters reported he was please!i with his team's performance as the Hoyas topped their opponents by a score of 56·46.
The Hoyas started off strong with a first place finish in the 400 yard medley relay, and continued the pace to capture first place in seven Qut of the ten races. Once again Ed Macnamara starred with victories in the 200 yard individual medley and 100 yard freestyle races and as part of the winning 400 yard freestyle relay team. Georgetown's Charley Dailey, Kristen Brustard, and John Paniszcyn also took first place honors in the 50 yd. free, 200 yd. butterfly, and 200 yd. backstroke races. Panisxcyn turned in one of his best times of 2:24.5 for the back-
stroke. Kevin Keelen, Lisa Knowles, Sue Polk, Tom Joseph, and Paul Holden also scored for the Hoyas.
Wooters observed that Western Maryland has improved since the two teams last met, with a new coach and a strong freshman squad. However he could still afford to race only one or two swimmers in some of the races instead of the usual three, giving his opponent at least a third place finish in these races and keeping the contest reasonably close_
Today will be an important day for the team as they will be competing in a four-way meet at George Washington University. Coach Wooters says, "It should be a tough meet but I would especially like to beat George Washington," whom the Hoyas will be facing for the first time. The meet starts at 11 am at George Washington's Smith Center.

Hoyas Lance Crusaders 69-65 by Mike Lindquist
Led by Al Dutch's deadly shooting and strong rebounding, Georgetown downed the Crusaders of Holy Cross 69-65 in Worcester, Massachusetts, Tuesday night. Dutch pumped in 23 big points, and along with Ed Hopkins crashed the boards at both ends of the floor in carrying the Hoyas to their first big road victory of the season.
Pressing man-to-man in the Crusader backcourt and dropping into the 2-3 zone at the mid-court line, the Hoyas were able to limit the Cross to 25 points fewer than their season's average of 90 per game.
The win, Georgetown's 11th of the season, moved them to within percentage pOints of first-place Old Dominion in the' ECAC's Southern Division. Holy Cross saw their record slip to 12-2 as they lost for only the second time in two seasons on their home floor.
The seesaw first half began with Georgetown jumping off to a quick 4-0 edge. That four point margin was the largest one enjoyed by either team, however, until the hosts moved
ahead by five, 32-27 with just under five mihutes to go in the stanza.
After a Hoya bucket narrowed the Crusader lead to three, Coach George Blaney elected to spread out his men and look for the last shot of the period_ Surprisingly, though, a full three minutes and 48 seconds showed on the clock when the stalling manu ever began.
The Crusaders played with the ball until only 19 seconds remained. The long-awaited shot was finally put up by second-stringer Pete Beckenbach, but as it turned out, it was neither good nor was it the last. Tom Scates hauled down the rebound, fed John Duren and one lay-up later the Hoyas trailed by just one, with three ticks of the clock left before halftime.
Blaney's unsuccessful tactic apparently took the wind from his players' sails, and as the second stan~a got under way, Georgetown was flying high. They quickly erased the slim half-way deficit, and on the strength of an 12-2 outburst found themselves up by nine. .
The Crusaders were not im-
pressed, however, as they fought back to tie the score at 49 on Bill Doran's 10th marker of the game. Dutch r.esponded by igniting a 12-0 Hoya surge which put the Hoyas back on top, this time for keeps_ The sophomore forward was followed by a Hopkins slam dunk off a feed from Jackson, who burned the net for 12 of his 16 points in the final period. When D.J. connected after a Mike McDermott steal, the Hoyas were sitting on a 12 point bulge, 61-49, with six minutes to play_
But it wasn't over yet. Chris Potter brought the crowd back to life as he socred four of the next six points to make it uncomfortably close at 61-57.
Steve Martin finally iced the game for the visitors, tallying all six of his points in the final five minutes, when they were most sorely needed. His last two came on a stuff with 33. seconds left, extending the Georgetown lead to 69!59.
Potter made the final a respectable 69-65, scoring with 18 seconds remaining. In the final seconds, Hopkins rejected· one Holy Cross

Peterson and Stafford Lead Harriers to Second Place

It was just a matter of Jim getting outkicked at the end." Greg ,Fredericks of the Nittany Valley Track Club took first in the race with an impressive 4:05_0 time.
Georgetown entered Tim Conheeney in the two-mile race, and he finished with a time of 9:03.8, qualifying him for the race in the IC4A's.
Ron Stafford and Bill Ledder ran
for the Hoyas in the 1000-yard run, with Stafford finishing fourth, coming in with a time of 2: 11.0, the fifth-fastest time for the 1000 in Georgetown history. It wasn't quite fast enough though, as he missed the national qualifying standard by .5 seconds. Ledder placed sixth in the race for Georgetown, finishing with a time of 2:12.3.
Georgetown finished fourth in the one-mile relay, with Keith Rcuster, Harry' Gaffney, Ron Stafford, and Tom Stampiglia combining for a strong finishing time of 3:09.8.

Jackson, Hopkins Pace GU Hoopsters in 81-67 Victory by Michael Perimuter
Ho-hum. The Georgetown Hoyas held class
last Saturday evening and gave a lesson in the 3 E's as, a yawning throng at McDonough Area watched .the hoopsters efficiently, expediently and effortlessly stop the Gaels of Iona College 81-67.
The Hoyas, who had to enter the game with a few wonders themselves after dropping two games over the Christmas break and then dribblinl! another one away to Navy last week, immediately left no doubt in either Coach Thompson's or anyone else's minds about what the finale was going to be in this contest. Using full court pressure, the Hoyas grabbed a quick 4-0 lead before lona had even touched the baIl. Then capitalizing on early weak shooting by the Gaels, the staunch Georgetown zone defense enabled the hot shot Hoya!; to increase the margin to 10 points within the game's first fi~e minutes. From here it was "close the doors to the barn, the cows had come home_" All the excitement was gone for this night.
In building this quick lead, and then maintaining it throughout the entirety of the game, the Hoyas not only taught the Gaels the 3 E's, but extended the lesson to also include the infamous 3 R's-rebounding, rifling, and running.
Although it's easy to fall into exaggeration when discussing finallies, the Hoyas did finally put their overwhelming height advantage to use in outrebounding the smaller Gaels 36-29. The problem in the past had always resulted from the Hoyas disinclination to box out underneath the hoop. However, Ed Hopkins' game high 14 rebounds cleared up any questions as to whether the problem would again plague the three-time-defeated Hoyas.
Relying on double figures from four starters, with the fifth tallying nine points, the Hoyas rifled home an amazing 56 percent of their field goals as the perimeter-shooting offense finally found everyone with. a hot hand.
In closing out the lesson in R's, because of their fine defensive rebounding, the Hoyas were able to wheel and deal up the court most of the night, resulting in a good number of running fast break lay-ups.
Looking as graceful and stylish as they have appeared at anytime during this year's campaign, the Hoyas owed quite a bit of their success last Saturday to the young freshman phenom, John "BaBa" Duren_
The youngster played not only with the vigor that comes from being a rookie to Hoya basketball, but also

RecComplex De/ayedTiI Summer 77
by Stewart Perim At the last meeting of the Univer
sity Building and Planning Committee (UBPC) held on November 11th, the board disclosed that further research needs to be done in slich areas as Federal funding potentials, projections into student enrollments and general financial Slipport by the University before construction of the new student athletic complex can begin.
The College Park meet proved to be a most satisfying one for the Hoya harriers. They only competed in one event, the two-mile relay, but ran convincingly, placing second to Villanova. The Hoyas crossed the finish line with an excellent time of 7:33.2, the second-fastest time for the 2-mile relay in Georgetown's history, and also the second-fastest time in the country this year. This easily qualified Georgetown for the 2-mile race in the NCAA meet.
NCAA: Equal Representation 7 The UBPC members claim that
they are trying to avoid difficulties similar to those experienced when the Medical Center buildjng was being built when, due to insufficient financial planning, the University was hard pressed to pay for construction.
Jim Peterson and Ron Stafford both finished with times of 1:51.0, which was the second fastest time of the night. Bill Ledder was close· behind at 1:53.0, while Tom Stampiglia rounded out the race f~r the Hoyas, coming in with a time of 1:56.0.
Villanova's winning time of 7:29.4 is the fastest time in the country so far this year.
The Hoyas continued their success Saturday and Sunday in New Hampshire with a strong all-around performance. Peterson placed fourth with a time of 4:07.5, qualifying him for

Is the National Collegiate Athletic Association always a reflection of the schools it represents? Lately, it has been under careful scrutiny to decide just· what kind of structure would prove to be the most equitable and advantageous to each of the 750 schools that belong to it. ,
Of course, with so many member schools from such a diversified country such as ours, different schools will have different interests. As the NCAA now stands, it has organized the schools into regional groups and divisions, thus allowing similar schools to compete on a similar level.
Last week at the 71st NCAA Convention, a proposal for the reorganization of the NCAA was tabled. Rather than being defeated, it will surely be brought up again; either the same plans or a comparable restructuring.
Under the original proposal, a school would have to field varsity teams in basketball, football and six other sports to attain a Division I status. Had this proposal gone through, Georgetown would have to. lower its presE!nt programs in basketball, track, etc. to either Division II or III, since our -football program is currently a Division III sport_ Such a division shift would be disasterous for Athletics as they exist at Georgetown today.
According to the NCAA rules, a school can move any sport up to Division Ion a sport-by~sport basis. However, if basketball is shifted to Division I, the disenfranchisement that would occur would deny the school its vote in the NCAA. This hardly seems equitable: because a: school is not strong in one sport should not
prevent them from competing in Division I in their stronger sports.
The present organization of the NCAA seems to be more fair than the proposal. At least within _ the present system, each individual school can field the team it wants, at the Division level it so desires while still retaining equal voting rights_ This protects the individuality and uniqueness. of the school. It permits an institution to' continue its own philosophy and tradition, at a self-determined pace. Thus, a school such as Georgetown, who has not been known as an overall athletic powerhouse, can still be nationally recognized in one, two or more sports.
By this proposal, the NCAA seems to be a puppet of the bigger' schools and athletjc powerhouses. These schools could field as many sports as they wanted at a Division I level and totally collapse the Athletic programs of such schools like Georgetown, should a proposal like this be passed.
Does this proposal show a trend of things to come? Will schools in the Big Ten, The Big Eight or the Ivy League vote schools on the athletic caliber of Georgetown out of competition? This is a reasonable possibility. Unfortunately, many schools act in their best interests, regardless of its effect ~m others. One solution'to fend off any extreme action such as this proposal is by uniting all the -, independent colleges, such as Georgetown, to block any unfavorable plan for reorganization. Yes, it does sound familiar. Politics at its best.
The planners of the Complex claim that they are optimistic for the new Complex, but are favoring to move at a "controlled" speed in its development.
According to UBPC stUdent member Ed Finneran, "It's better to move at a deliberate speed, than a reckless one." The Athletic Complex will be the first building that Georgetown University will fund by direct student involvement. Finneran said that three generations of Georgetown students will be involved, and it consequently needs to be planned considering only the students' best interest.
The question of University priorities has been debated in the Committee. The 'construction of a new academic building on the East Campus is included in future plans. Questions have been raised as to. whether the priority of Academics should yield to a new Sports Complex.
The Board of Directors' subcommittee on Finances will present the Complex: project to the Board in late February or early March. If it is passed at this meeting, the 19 month construction will start no earlier than the summer.
