WELCOME TO MSC!1250 Join in 3-Day Orientation Program;

106 Upperclassmen Act as Student HostsOver 1200 newcomers to the Montclair

State College campus will begin following a three-day orientation schedule under the direction o f the new student orientation committee.

Approximately 1125 freshmen and 125 readmitted, transfer and Chico State College students will take part in the programs.

Headed by Cochairmen Fran Niedbala and Tom Reaves, the new student orientation committee has prepared a varied set o f activities beginning with an impromptu folk festival this evening in the amphitheatre. Scheduled to begin at 8 p.m., students are asked to bring their own musical instruments to add to the fun and spontaneity o f the evening.

Dick Gregory, noted civil rights activist, will highlight tomorrow’s entertainment on the stage o f Memorial Auditorium at 8 p.m. Prior to Gregory’s lecture, the Black Motion Drummers and Dancers featuring the Afro American drummers, dancers and players is scheduled for an interpretive dance program at 7 p.m. in Memorial Auditorium.

Tuesday’s activities will end with the film “ Yellow Submarine” at 10 p.m. also in the Auditorium. Admission is free for all new students; a 25-cent admission price will be charged to upperclassmen for the film only.

Food will gather the new student orientation groups together on Wed., Sept. 17, as a free barbecue-picnic to be held in the amphitheatre at 4:30 p.m. Seymour Rothman, director o f dining services at MSC, is in charge o f the picnic catered by the ABC Gladieux Food Corp.

The Saxons and The Crazy Elephant will be featured at a double concert to be held at 8 p.m. that evening in Panzer gym. New student activities wili end on Fri., Sept. 19, at 8 p.m. with a Unity Dance scheduled for Panzer gym.

One-hundred six upperclassmen have planned to take part in the new student orientation program as student hosts. Each host will work with a group o f 10 to 13 new students and will orient his group members to the MSC cam pus com m u n ity . Twenty-two student groups are composed o f dormitory students only while 83 groups contain both off-campus and commuting students.

Each new student will be briefly introduced to the MSC campus through an orientation folder containing copies o f the Arrowhead, orientation schedule, statement o f financial aids and CLUB calendar, prepared by the various cam pus organizations.

Student Union — Ready in ’72

ARTISTS ' CONCEPTION o f the new MSC Student Union Building shows its non-institutional design, also to be used inside the building.

By Don Pendley Editorial Assistant

“ Proceeding as planned” might be the key words in the construction o f the new Student Union building. According to Mr. Jon 0 . McKnight, director o f Life Hall, if all proceeds according to schedule, groundbreaking for the new building will take place in spring 1970.

The construction o f the Student Union building became a reality last May, when the MSC student body approved a $10 per semester union fee, the sum o f w h ic h w ou ld go to the co n stru ctio n o f the union bu ild in g . Vice-President for B usiness Services V in cen t Calabrese stated that there have been very few protests from students in paying the fee for the fall semester.

The building which features a ballroom, 600-seat snack bar, eight bowling alleys, enlarged bookstore, administrative offices for student organizations, and lounges, is currently in the final

design stage, and the final drawings and plans are due to the college on Oct. 24; McKnight has stated that they will be on time. The drawings, done by architect Charles A. Luckmann Associates, will then be reviewed by the co llege and by the state government. This should take a maximum o f four weeks.

The interior designer has also been chosen: Chandler Cudlipp Associates o f New York, who has also designed the interiors o f the

student union buildings at the University o f Maryland, Adelphi University and Queens College. The interior will be in a contemporary-modern style, in keeping with the non-institutional exterior. There will be great use o f bright colors, different textures and varied styles o f furniture.

Construction costs have been o f some concern during the past summer. The building, originally to cost $3,663 million, now is valued at over $4 million, due to

inflation. If the construction is begun in the spring, stated M c K n ig h t , th e bu ild ing, realistically, would be done in September 1972.

A federal grant, which the college applied for to cover some o f the costs o f the building, was n o t approved, due to a construction moratorium imposed by the federal government. On Sept. 4, President Richard M. Nixon called for a 75% decrease in federal financial construction, and

requested each state to do likewise, thus creating a near­standstill situation in federal c o n s tru c t io n . However, this should not affect the construction o f the student union building, assured McKnight.

Only one major change has taken place in the building since last spring: a faculty lounge and club, originally planned to take up the second-floor o f the three-floor building, has been scrapped, and a student lounge will replace it.

For the first time at MSC. freshmen will have an opportunity to learn about and to become involved in campus affairs as early as orientation week. The new student orientation committee advised by Mr. Michael Lowenthal is holding an Activities Fair on Tues., Sept. 16 in front o f Life Hall. All organizations on campus will have the opportunity to inform freshmen o f the group’s activities and to recruit new members.

The fair will take place outdoors on the mall from 1 through 5 p.m. It will consist o f a table and display for each participating organization, and it will afford its members a chance

To make the curriculum at Montclair State College more relevant to the needs o f society, Dr. Thomas H. Richardson, president o f the college, and Mr. J a m e s W . C o t t in g h a m , administrative assistant, have in itiated an Action Studies Seminar.

D u r i n g t h e su m m e r a pprox im ately 200 people, upperclassm en , faculty, and administrators, responded to app lica tion s explaining the seminar and asking for topic suggestions.

The main attraction will be a group o f musicians led by “ Doc H igb ie” and “ C razy Legs P atiern o” who will provide backup entertainment for the affair. Some groups such as the Judo Club are planning an exhibition.

Most o f the groups at MSC will p a r t i c i p a t e in clu d in g all publications (MONTCLARION, G a lu m p h , La C a m p a n a , Quarterly), College Life Union Board (CLUB), Human Relations Lab (HRL), Voice o f Montclair State (V M S), most o f the sororities and fraternities, the Newman Community, Players, the Student Peace Union and the Young Democrats.

Pedestrian M all CreatedTraffic Stopped From Life Hoi I Thoroughfare

By Susan Dominski Staff Reporter

“ We’d like to make this a walking campus,” declared Mr. V i n c e n t B. C a l a b r e s e vice-president o f business services in reference to the experimental pedestrian mall which is taking shape on the MSC campus.

To create this mall which will consist o f the area between Life Hall and the Finley-Mallory c o m p le x , the road entering campus from Valley road at the south end o f the campus will be blocked off. Through traffic in front o f Life, Finely and Mallory halls will also be stopped. All traffic will be re-routed behind Mallory.

Calabrese stated that this plan is an experiment to test the feasibility o f a permanently landscaped park area in the heart o f the campus.

Vincent CalabreseKeeping the Campus Clear.

To enter and leave the parking lot behind Webster Hall it will be necessary to drive through the main parking lot behind the library. This road leading back to Webster Hall will be converted into a two-lane road on which parking will be prohibited.

Calabrese claimed that the idea

was formed last June and was studied by students, faculty and administrators over the summer. He added that the majority o f the group were enthusiastic about the idea. He called it “ an effort to resolve the conflict between the au tom ob ile and the human being.” He said the number o f pedestrians and cars in this area creates a serious safety hazard.

T h e b u s in e s s d ire c to r mentioned that one problem which is anticipated will be channeling all traffic entering the cam pus through the library parking lot. He assured that the snow removal process will be facilitated by this change, but warned that there may be slight parking shortages because the parking lot between the music building and the speech wing will be closed.

Calabrese mentioned that a major parking problem will be eliminated by prohibiting traffic through the mall area. He added: “ Now you’ll be able to cross the street without looking both ways.”

Richardson Appointed ActingPresident of Trenton State

By Mike Andrea Staff Reporter

Dr. Thomas H. Richardson, President o f Montclair State C o lle g e , has assum ed the presidency o f Trenton State C ollege since his temporary appointment to that position on Aug. 5, 1969.

The appointment was made by the Board o f Trustees o f Trenton State College to insure tranquility while the Board probes into co n tro v e rsy surrounding the President o f Trenton State College, Dr. Robert Heussler, and the faculty and administrators who have petitioned for Heussler’ s removal.

The controversy centers around the new emphasis placed upon liberal arts rather than teacher education at the state colleges, a project still in its initial stages. TSC’s faculty also blame

Heussler’ s personality and “ lack o f tactfullness” as sources o f trouble at Trenton.

The faculty cited a recent in c id en t which involved 12 faculty members who were not reh ired . These faculty were notified by having their names posted on a campus bulletin board. Two faculty members, who were not in agreement with Heussler’ s policies, petitioned for his removal and were demoted from high administrative positions due to their opposition.

While TSC's Board o f Trustees investigates the s itu a tion , R i c h a r d s o n w i l l assum e administrative authority o f the college. His responsibility is to see that teacher contracts are signed, student and teacher schedules are arranged and generally to insure the smooth opening and operation o f the college.

Dr. Thomas H. Richardson Temporarily Heads TSC.

Trenton’ s Board must decide within the next few days whether to appoint a successor or retain Heussler as president.

Bridge Opens New Way OutBy Roberta Kuehl Asst. News Editor

Traffic congestion at Montclair State College will be lessened as the plans for the construction o f an overpass bridge and a parking lot are undertaken. The main purpose o f this bridge is to provide an additional entrance and exit for the campus. At present, only three access and two exit points exist, all located on Normal avenue.

The New Student

Orientation Committee

WELCOMES

THE

CLASS

OF

1973.

Present plans, to be completed Oct. 15, indicate that the bridge is to be built over the existing Lrir-Lackawanna railroad tracks that parallel the campus along the west side and is to connect Clove road, a municipal road belonging to Little Falls, and the existing on-campus freshman parking lot, which also parallels the west boundary.

Studies are so underway to determine the economic and physical feasibilities o f creating either a parking lot at the Clove road approach to the bridge or a multilevel parking garage on the freshman parking lot. The new lot at Clove road would provide 200 spaces while the garage could handle approximately 1500 to 2000 cars.

Funds for the garage would be handled through the Higher

Educational Facilities Authority and would most likely come from the $10 rates students now pay for parking decals, according to Mr. V i n c e n t B. C a la b r e s e , vice-president o f business services. Calabrese also estimated that these rates would probably increase, if the decision to build the garage were approved.

Although the land across the planned bridge site is presently owned by a private owner, Calabrese sees no problem for the future regarding Montclair State’s eventual ownership o f this property once the state purchases the land.

T h e c a m p u s arch itects responsible for studying and p l a n n i n g th ese p rop osed constrictions are Urbahn-Mahony and Zvosec, together with Mr. Anton Tedesco, a consulting engineer.

New Student OrientedOrientation procedures at MSC always

followed a rather childish pattern as freshmen hazing often turned into freshmen pledging.

Frosh could be seen frantically climbing out o f Sprague’s fountain or jogging up the steps o f the amphitheatre.

Instead of building up a spirit o f good w ill toward upperclassm en, a newcomer’s first taste o f MSC could have proved to be bitter.

Last year’s freshmen didn’t like it - and they said so. In fact, the whole concept o f orientation has been changed due to the

class o f 1972. The concept o f new student orientation has replaced the time worn “ freshman orientation.”

Small group orientation will replace the loss-of-identity large groups. And upperclass student hosts will work with students rather than against them.

The MONTCLARION approves o f the change taken by the 1969 new student orientation committee and recognizes that the class o f 1973 may still feel orientation programs can be further changed - o f course, they can implement new ideas during orientation for the class o f 1974.

The Montclair WaySo far you’ve counted o ff meatloaf,

stuffed cabbage, hamburger and Salisbury steak as this week's dinners. You recognize red mud on all your shoes, your car, your books - it’s known as Mallory mud.

You parked illegally in front o f the gym during rush hour and now you have a $5 ticket. You fail to believe that it’s not only raining outside Annex 2 but inside the classrooms as well.

You have stood in change o f schedule lines, bookstore lines, ID photo lines and meal lines. You think the Arrowhead is the

faculty lounge and La Campana the name o f your Spanish professor.

This is natural but in one week you’ll have all the names o f your profs spelled correctly. You’ll know which name goes with which face. The TUB will become a snack bar to you and West’ s will become the place to go for a midnight snack.

As you begin to know Montclair State College, all the people and places that you encounter will take on a meaning to become part o f your involvement here. A sincere welcome, class o f ’ 73!

Time fo r a Change

Campus-conscious upperclassmen will remember last spring's announcements of the new school set-up scheduled to transform Montclair State from college to university status.

The five schools - School o f Creative Arts, School o f Applied Arts and Sciences, School o f Humanities, School o f Social and Behavioral Sciences and School o f Math and Science — are in various stages o f development and there remain many untouched areas for interested students to become involved.

Theoretically, as Dr. Samuel Pratt and other members o f the central planning committee designed the organizational

structures o f the school set-up, students and faculty would have equal power to determine the developing functions o f each school.

H o w e v e r , t h r o u g h v a r i o u s communication difficulties, students have not been made fully aware o f their power and, consequently, have not taken an active part in policy development.

T h erefore , the M ONTCLARION strongly urges each student to attend the campus conference this Thursday. Any tentative policy that isn’t satisfactory to students can and will be changed at that time.

I Welcome You with EnvyThese are challenging and exciting times

to be a college student. Never before in the history o f American higher education has the integrity o f students as individuals and as a group been more highly valued. Student opinion and decisions are sought on all aspects o f the College’s operation. Organized into vocal and effective groups, students have had an effect not only upon their college, but upon their society. The magnitude and strength o f the current drive to lower the voting age to 18 is just one manifestation o f the student’s new powerful role in the State o f New Jersey.

Freshmen at Montclair will inherit an influential position in the running o f the college, which was arrived at only after the hard work o f many o f their predecessors. Certainly, much still needs to be done by students and faculty working together, to adequately define the correct role o f the student in shaping o f the college. In my

opinion, however, the biggest challenge which you face will have to do with how you use the power which you already possess. How many freshmen will care enough to join the various decision-making committees? How many freshmen will study the student government structure and the decision-making machinery in the college so that they can be really effective as student citizens? These are important questions, but perhaps the fundamental question is - How many students, through apathy or by succumbing to demagogy, will fail to exercise the power and responsibility which they have available.

These are great times in which to be a student. You can be proud o f your admission to Montclair State College and your new responsibility to help build a great and dynamic educational force in the State o f New Jersey.

Dr. Thomas H. Richardson, President MSC

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

"1 WA6 HAVING TROUBLE PILLING "fflOôE EMPTY FRONT WHEN THEN THÊ THOUGHT OCCLI02ÊP TO M E ------------ "

David M. Levine: Observer.

The Coming o f the GreenIt’s always amazing to see all

the campus bigwigs turn out for freshman orientation. Like the politicos in hiding until election day, so the campus big shots make th e ir g lo r iou s on ce-a -year appearances just to show their pusses.

Don’ t get me wrong. Some o f the big b o y s really look impressive, talk eloquently, and wear a perpetual smile. It’s just that they crawl back into their ivy-covered holes after the campus jollification ceremonies are over.

I asked my old friend Goober Belch, chairman o f the rhetoric department at Montclair State, why the poor green little frosh have only a chance to see most o f the college’s important folks during orientation.

impressive calls to Washington and even try to get their names in the MONTCLARION.”

“ Do they have any sparetime?” I asked hesitantly.

“ Belch paused a moment to think. “ Well sometimes they smoke cigars, walk thru the halls. And sometimes, Dave, they might teach a class or two, but that’ s stretching the point a bit.”

* * *

Nevertheless, it’ s really great to see the green little frosh blending in so well with the campus grass. “ I remember 1 was once a freshman, but that was a long time agoy” the Valley road Kid remarked yesterday. “ Now they put on impressive shows and festivals to make the system 'more relevant.’ ”

“ That’ s a false assumption,” Belch fired back. “ If you are ever in trouble, you'll always get a chance to sec the dean. And if you’re ever in a tight jam about curriculm problems, the vice presidents will always be willing to help you out,” he explained.

“ Seems that the only time you’d get a chance to sec important people is when you’ re in trouble,” I said.

“ No. Not true!” Belch bleeped. “The VIP’ s o f Montclair are always good for teas, receptions, guest lectures, and a host o f other fun things.

“ And sometimes,” he added, “ they even write books, make

“ The only relevancy I got out o f orientation is discovering the number o f bricks Sprague library has on their west wall,” the kid reminisced.

* * *

Statistics are always encouraging. A ccording to Dr. Constance W aller, assistant director of students, about 60% o f the entering freshman never finish college. And that’s on the national level. Finances and marriage are cited for the high dropout rate.

* * *

But if you ’ re fixing to stay on, a hardy welcome. If not, in­vite me to the wedding.

Is Top Indian Kicker

Tornillo’s Nine Post Record—

15-2M on tcla ir State College’s

freshmen baseball nine enjoyed unusual success during the past spring posting a record o f 15 wins while losing only two contests.

The Indians, under the direction o f Coach Alex Tornillo, combined outstanding pitching and long ball hitting to run o ff strings o f eight and five wins in a row during the season.

Howie Shaw, leftfielder from Hackensack, turned in the top batting average during the season with a mark o f .382. Bob Cardwell, centerfield hailing from Seaside Park, trailed Shaw with a .319 mark while Paul Kenny, who handled the hot corner, was third with a mark o f .313. Kenny resides in Caldwell.

Cardwell led the team in runs scored (17), hits (23), triples (three) and runs batted in (12). Shaw was the leader in doubles with four.

Ed Pavlo, who combined tim ely hitting with flashing fielding, represented Linden.He batted three homers for the club.

Kevin Cooney, former Essex Catholic High School standout from Cedar Grove, was the top winner on the pitching staff with five wins and no losses. Trailing Cooney were Rick Clayton, a left-hander from Ridgewood; Paul Parker, a righthander from W atchung Hills, 3-1; Dennis Cassidy, a righthander from Jersey C ity , 2-0; John Venezia, a righthander from Montclair, 2-1.

Parker led the staff in innings worked (41), strikeouts (58) and earned run average (0.44). As a team Tornillo’s nine hit a fine .263 while the pitching staff turned in a sensational earned run average o f 1.23.

RodgersSpecial to the Montclarion.Already well represented in

Montclair State College’s all time record book, Dan Rodgers will set a new standard practically every time he steps on the gridiron in 1969. The senior from Bayonne, one o f the nation’s top field goal and extra point kickers, has a section all to himself in the big b lack b o o k marked “ MSC All-Time Football Records.”

In three previous seasons, Rodgers has carved out a set o f career marks that has been extraordinary to say the least. He enters the coming season with 45 successful points completed in 48 attempts.

Included in his total o f 45 placements are 21 consecutive extra points made during the 1968 season. In the field goal department, Rodgers, handling the kicking for a very weak offensive 11, lias 15 field goals in 47 attempts. Many o f these three points have been from 35 yards out or better.

His career already includes two games, Ithaca in 1966 and Central Connecticut State last year, when he scored every point. In Ithaca, the contest was a classic with the thin 175 pounder splitting the uprights from distances o f 29, 39 and 37 yard to lead the Indians to a brilliant 9-7 win.

Last year, Rodgers’ right b o o t in g leg pu lled o ff a tremendous upset as he kicked two field goals to show the way on an Eastern Conference Football win over the heavily favored Central Connecticut State, 6-3.

A real student on the subject o f kicking, Rodgers works year round on kicking. It is not unusual for him to boot between 100 and 150 placements in a day’ s workout.

In an era when soccer type kickers are the vogue, Rodgers is a conventional style American place kicker. He is o f average height and weight, but does it all with a most powerful right leg and skill.

With an improved offense this season, Montclair State figures to call on Rodgers a good deal more to light up the scoreboard. Coach Clary Anderson should have no worries when he sends his senior field goal booter on to the field.

Rodgers is an odds on choice to be drafted by either an American o f National Football League team.

Dan Rodgers Knockout Kicker.

Season Set for Basketball,

FootballA six game schedule, including

four night games, has been announced for Montclair State College’s 1969 freshman football team.

Coach Dick Hapward’s 11 will play three arc light tilts at home under Sprague Field lights. Montclair State fielded its first freshman team last season and posted a 4-1 mark.

A 22 game schedule opening at St. Peter’s College on Mon., Dec. 1, has been announced for the MSC freshman basketball squad for 1969-1970.

Coach Bob Elder’ s Indians will meet Paterson, Trenton, Jersey City and Newark State on a home to home basis. Montclair State has enjoyed outstanding success in freshman basketball in the last three years posting marks o f 19-0, 19-1 and 14-4.

Clary Is Master Organizerof Indian Gridiron Machine

It is still five days before Montclair State goes into action for the first time in 1969 at East Stroudsburg State (Pa.) on Sept. 20. However, an air o f cautious optimism can be felt creeping into the air as Coach Clary Anderson puts the pieces together on the Indians’ gridiron machine.

A master organizer, Anderson started the long rebuilding job after his appointment last January with the hiring o f a staff. The five men who will share the job o f putting the Indians on the warpath with Anderson have savvy, experience and desire.

The Indians offense has been put in the hands o f Frank Tripucka, a veteran o f 15 years experience in the pros. Tripucka, who has spent 23 years playing the game on the high school, college and pro ranks, brings imagination, knowledge and the ability to demonstrate to the Indians quarterbacks.

A h i g h l y s u c c e s s f u l businessman, “ Trip” has a great deal o f enthusiasm for the game. Tripucka’s counterpart on the defensive side is Tom Testa. Testa, handled the Indians fine freshman team last year, has also been in football for more than half o f his life. He was a highly successful coach at Belleville High

School and first learned the game under Anderson at Montclair High School. He also starred at MSC under coach A1 Coder.

Backing up Tripucka with the offense is Tim Sullivan while Testa’s number one aide is newcomer Donald MacKay. Both coaches are young men with great energy and desire to become topflight collegiate mentors.

Anderson, very much the driving force, carefully listens to each o f his coaches suggestions but there is little doubt that the man who made Montclair High the most feared scholastic football 11 in New Jersey is the boss.

On the freshm an level Anderson’ s chief assistant is old sidekick Dick Hapward from M ontcla ir High days. Andy Durborow, a MSC great from the early 1960’s is chief assistant.

Hapward will be given the d if f ic u lt task o f installing Anderson's system at the frosh level. If the Indians are going to make progress at the collegiate level football map Hapward must be su ccess fu l.

Old Time Montclair State people are amazed at the way Anderson has taken hold. In 1969 the Indians will face the largest schedule in the school’ s 39 year history and just how successful Anderson will be in his first season is a big question mark.

However, a man who has never had a losing season in 25 years has a pretty strong taste for winning. The victory hungry Indian fans would appear to be about ready to sit down to a number o f victory dinners.
