Honors Head Condemns 'Politics' In Selection of Award Winners
Changes of discrimination on the basis of political beliefs were leveled against certain members of Student Government this week by the former chairman of the SG Honors and Awards Commission.

Between the covers of Promethean's new format, the discerning reader will soon discover a welter of the same old mediocrity, highlighted, as usual, by a few brilliant touches. The touches are rare.
The poetry of Richard Kelly shows fluidity, of style and verbal facility, which produces a beautiful lyric quality. However, from the th ree evawples of hi$ work in Promethean, only in "John Thunder" does Kelly complement his style with real content and meaning. "John Thunder has a mountain in his mind," says Kelly, and though the reader may wallow just a bit in syntact ical ambiguities, a l i t t le fortitude will enable him to find meaning and insight. I t t akes more forti tude than this reviewer was able to muster to arr ive a t the basic t r u t h s of "The Empero* of Flowers ." They are. cloaked in symbolic absurdities.
Sandy Cohen, however, has accomplished something of which young, modern wri ters seemed incapable: he has wri t ten t radi t ional rhyme .rhythm, and poetry. His "Adr iadne" is a t rue sonnet, complete wi th iambic pentameter . I t tells i t s s tory simply, but seems a t t imes to be straining a t i t s bonds and is mar red by inversions of syntax.
There a re only three prose pieces in this issue of Promethean. "A Hot Chocolate for Jesse" by 'Leonard Gusser is good. I t is a moving story-exploring subjects of significance and moment. I t probably saves <tl\£ magazine.
Fred Tuten, having analyzed Kerouac in last semester 's Promethean, now proceeds to tear into " I thaca , " a chapter in J ames Joyces ' "Ulysses." I do not question Tuten 's perceptions here, not the validity of his work as an analyst. More basic to me is t h a t this work was probably not originally intended for Promethean. I t is wr i t ten not to the reader, but r a the r a t a professor. Tu ten does not trouble, for example, to explain to his readers just what " I thaca" is—it might easily be an ent i re novel as well as a chapter. The analysis is too specific a n art icle to reside in the company of the other pieces in the magazine.
"Forever Iva," by Barry Gross, deserves little comment or note, though i t would be of great benefit t o aspiring wr i te rs to read this piece, and so learn the pitfalls of the overwrit ten story. Beneath a wel ter of. diffeiung technical forms among which Gross shifts with amazing rapidity, lies the hackneyed theme of a man 's realization of the real i ty of existance.
The editors of Promethean have tr ied again—a litt le differently th is time. The resul ts are certainly less flamboyant and leas blatant ly baid than the las t issue. I t . i s worth t he purchase price, jus t to read "John Tiuwder" and "A H o t Chocolate for Jesse."
Letters PROTEST
D e a r Edi tor : A t the last meeting of Student
Council May 4, t h a t body voted upon recommendations made to it by the honors and awards commission of S tudent Government. The recommendations were for awards in the following categories: t h e distinguished leadership awax'd, t he distinguished service award and the Oscar Buchvar Award for outstanding contributions to Student Government. The recommendations were based on the com-mit tee 's knowledge of those ap-: ^ plying as well as discussions with; j£ members of the faculty, let ters toj * members of the faculty and De-1 ^ pa r tmen t of Student Life and var- ^ oous student leaders. The commis-j 5 sion discussed each applicant in-i #: divklually as to the quality of hisj 3 leadership and or service. The ' 5 commission, composed of promin-: * en t s tudent leaders from the v a r - ' 2 ious phases of student activities." js recommended to council the names 5 of seven s tudents for the distin- 4* guished leadership award and six^ $ s tudents for the distinguished serv- ' 3 ice award and one for the Buchvar! J award. Council then discussed each ; J person individually. Of those re-'. £ commended four were denied 5 awards . I t is an unusual coinci- 5 dence ttyat these four students are * all leaders in one s tudent political: par ty . I t is also a coincidence that those who spoke strongly against t h e recommendations for these four
a re all leaders of the opposing political party.
In one instance, when it was obvious that one person qualified for an award, those s tudents withj t he opposing views spoke out strongly in favor of their choice! wi thout knowledge of why their; choice deserved the award. This! merely shows that the award was; not given because their choice de-l

TILL WE MEET AGAIN This is the last column of my fifth year of writing for Philip Morris and Marlboro. I have m a d e i t a custom in the last colmnn of; e a # yew not to be funny. I know I have alsp realised this .aim in many, other columns-during the year, h u t tha t was not for lack of trying. Today I am not trying. I am. n o t trying for two reasons: First , because you axe getting ready for final exams and in your present s tate of shock, nothing in the world could possibly make you laugh. And second, this final column of the year is for many of us a leave-taking, and goodbyes always make me too misty to be funny.
For me the year ends neither with a bang nor a whimper, b u t with a glow—a w£rm, pleasant, mellow glow—the kind of glow you will find, for example, a t the end of a Philip Morria or Marlboro. r
I t has been in every way a gratifying experience, my five years with the makers of Philip Morris and Marlboro, and I Would like to take this opportunity -to extend my heartfelt appreciation to these good tobacconists, to assure them t h a t the memory of their kindness will remain ever green in m y heart, and to remind them tha t they still owe me for the last three columns.
And in these waning days of the school year, let me address myself seriously to you, my readers. Have I trod on any toes this year? Ruffled any feelings? Jostled any sensibilities? If so, I am sorry.
Have I occasioned any laughs? Chuck le? Sniggers? Mon* Lisa smiles? If so, I 'm glad.
Have I persuaded any of you to t r y Philip Morris and Marlboro? To taste that fine flavor? To smoke that excellent tobacco? If so, you are glad.
And now the long, lazy summer lies ahead. But for me sum* mer is never lazy. I t is, in fact, the busiest time of year. Two summers ago, for instance, I was out ringing doorbells every single day, morning, noon, and night. There was a contest, you see, and the kid in my neighborhood who sold the most bluing won a pony. I am proud to repeal; tha t I was the lucky winner.
Last summer I was also out ringing doorbells every single day, morning, noon, and night. I was trying to sell the pony*
This summer I am not going to be out ringing doorbells. I am going to saddle the pony and ride to Hollywood, California. What am I going to do in Hollywood, California? I am going to write a series of halt-hour television comedies called T H E MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS, and starting in October, 1050, your friends and mine, the makers of Philip Morris and Marlboro, are going to bring you this program over the Columbia Broadcasting System every Tuesday night at 8:30. Why don't you speak to your housemother and ask her if she'll let you stay up to see it?

student at the College, Mr, Green has had to visit several of the officials for the customary pre-entrance interviews. He therefore found it convenient to park his Good Humor truck very near the campus.
"On the first day," he explained, "I received two tickets, one for a 'peddling violation' and one for •illegal parking'." Approximately one month has gone by now since Mr. Green began to sell the frozen confeCtionaries. He is able to boast of having received seven such tickets.
He has marvelled at the secure positions held by some of the "old" vendel-s around the campus. In a letter to Student Government officials, Mr. Green states that "a number of the student body would affirm my suspicions by saying that I am getting these tickets because of my not making a 'pay-off. Can such a thing be?"
Beiriu a Good Humor man is, aCCordiJig to Mr. Gre&h, an id^ltl job for this season. The position can prove to be quite lucrative if you are a good salesman and happen to have a route infested with ace cream lovers, since the salary is composed solely of a twenty-five per cent coftimission on the day's sales.
"The fellas, at Fordham University take in about $140 a day. Because of the obstacles facing me," he asserted, "I manage to take in about $35^ a day. That means I have a take-home pay of about $8. I'm lucky if I have a dollar after I finish paying off all my fines.
"This is getting really crazy," he said, "I've become the subject of ridicule receiving three tickets marked with three successive dates.
"If thos is gonna help me get through college, bOy J Would really like to see them show me hofr!"
(This is the final articie ih a defies describing and discussing political thought at the College during;' the past thirty years.)
Like a plague the one word that has run through this decade is "apathy." Students may deny it. Teach-^
ers may hedge. College presidents may refuse to admit it. But for something that is nonexistent, it has commanded more news space, occasioned more rebukes and drawn more adherants than a handful of political issues or a dozen losing teams.
At Columbia an "apathy club" was formed to successfully sleep through addresses by visiting speakers. The stated purpose of the organization was to "snooze quietly but efficiently" no matter the importance or volume of the event.
On Convent Avenue the movement has been less organized but the results similar. Some teachers call it a "supermarket" generation. Veterans of the thirties often describe the era as "security-minded." Maybe the perspective is lacking. Maybe everyone is too closely involved. But one thing is certain: no one is truly satisfied with the times.
The people who have condemned membership lists in thex
past four years are dissatisfied. Those students and administration members who have fought against the Striith Act Ban are discontented. Communism at the College becomes an issue from time to time, to the consternation of some. And many teachers are disturbed at the inactivity Of students in their social science classes.
But nobody has any cures. And nobody is going out on a limb.
- Typical of the dissatisfied in" the academic^ arena is Mister Nofman Rosenberg (Goverii-ftiesfit). He characterizes the fifties as a period "of broad gen-ercfl decline" in intellectual performance.
"I can hardly recognize this school anymore," the former stu-

dent here during the forties says. "The lack of real political interest is worthy of Columbia.
"Students today generally remind me of barnyard fowl. They just go through the motions," he observed.
"Part of the problem is that parents who worked in the sweatshops in the thirties own them now.
"The students nowadays just d o n ' t understand injustice. They're in a helluva way spiritually. It's like an Alexandrian decadence.
"They're never going to do or say anything different or out of step, because they just don't feel that way. It 's not particularly that they're afraid."
Professor William Bradley Otis, a teacher at the College during the maelstrom of the thirties, finds the problem just as acute. "The world has grown old in the last few^years. Before CCNY students ^felt they could change things. Now they're uncertain arid lethargic. What can they do about the atom bomb?"
The nuclear age, however, was only one of a number of reasons estranging undergraduates from the political current. Pidookies roamed the College at the start of the decade evidencing a general contempt for student politics. Observation Post on December 5, 1949 ran a banner head-l i n e : STUDENT COUNCIL MEETS: AND TALKS . . . TALKS . . . TALKS . . . TALKS . . . Halfway down its blank column the paper printed in agate type:
"Council elected two delegations to separate city-wide sm-. dent conferences but gave neither delegation the right to speak or vote at the meetings.
"Council adjourned at midnight," the story concluded.
Six years after the OP article Ticker, the Baruch school paper, charged that the search for subversives on the campus had resulted in apathy. President Buell G. Gallagher retorted, "There is nothing apathetic about the College, its professors or its students."
If there was apathy the occur-ances of that year appeared designed tc reacjivfcte tbe students.
plored bureaucracy on the university campus, the Student Faculty Committee on Student Activities approved compulsory membership lists to ostensibly keep more accurate records of student activities.
Through a student referendum pronouncedly opposed to lists and a dozen different student and faculty plans the problem has persisted.
In the wake of the roster dispute almost all of the political clubs left the campus. In 1955 the Students for Democratic Action left in protest. In 1956 the Young Progressives disbanded after eight years of political activity. The same year the Young Democrats folded, but this timd due to lack of members.
In 1957 the five municipal college presidents "refused the courtesy of the campuses to person^ under indictment for any reason or awaiting appeal from a conviction to include persons convicted under the Smith Act."
John Gates, invited by the Public Affairs Forum after being barred by Queens College, retorted, "I regret very much that I have been deprived of the right to speak. But the more serious matter is that the students have been deprived of the right of free inquiry and exploration of ideas."
The Smith Act Ban still stands. But in 1955 the President
guarded himself and the College's administration from charges of McCartheyism in his Biennial Report. Dr. Gallagher maintained that the College was safeguarding civil rights and academic freedom of all suspected persons.
"In short we are refusing to harm the innocent in order to catch the guilty; and at the same time we are refusing to let the guilty go free in order to protect the innocent."
The next time the President issued a direct comment on communism was the fall of '57. The previous summer Jake Rosen, a student at the College, visited Russia and took part in the Moscow Youth Festival. According to a Microcosm summary published last year, Rosen was sent as an official observer by Student Government.

The body which mus t assume responsibility for all o ther realms of Student Government activity is t h e Executive Committee. Council's hands must be untied to allow it to assume the role i t would na tura l ly occupy.
I t is in these directions tha t I would reform and reorganize Studen t Government . . ! th ink tha t the o ther things to which I would pledge myself, more s tudent participation in curriculum planning, revision of existing campus publici ty rules, and expanded student part icipation in s tudent governmen t , all follow logically from this Uiain premise.

Student Government is not reserved for the so-called "professional politicians."
I feel that the student has been left out of Student Government, and that the politics of issues and situations abused. My goal is to involve the student body in its government, in the crucial and challenging problems for which students can provide solutions.
Student Government can only have a meaning if it enacts a meaningful program:
• Curriculum evaluation programs. As an engineer, I believe that a more flexible engineering syllabus is especially desirable;
• A new era is beginning for City College - with the admission of out-of-town students to the Cllege, it will become necessary to reevaluate many aspects of college life;
• Elimination of a self-perpetuating Student Government by revising qualifications for major office, etc.
As Vice-President I would coordirikte the Academic Affairs, Internal Affairs, School Affairs and Civil Liberties Committees toward these and other worthwhile ends, thus ensuring a truly representative STUDENT Government.

Observation Post Editori r#
Prejudice • • • The tawdriness of Student Government
was more apparent than ever this morning, a few hours before its annual dinner.
There is nothing sacred in the SG catalogue of values and for an action to have the characteristic SC brand it would appear it must be touched by a little prejudice.
Question has been raised as to the propriety of disclosing the happenings in an executive session. But inquiry has been also made into the nature of selecting leadership and service awards. Risking censure for intruding into consecrated territory, we must ourselves condemn the few members of Student Council who exercised irrational partisanship in the evaluation of honors candidates, at last Wednesday's meeting.
Assuming that the unanimous protest of the non-partisan SG Honors and Awards Commission is justified, and convinced that Upper Seniors do not resign from a Commission without believing deeply in the principle involved, we must join in the condemnation of SG's irresponsibility.
Of course it is unfair to label SG when only a few members may be responsible for this latest fiasco. And it is impossible to pinpoint the few because the balloting for awards was secret. However, it is with a shudder that we view the possibility of a student-elected body abusing its privilege and mocking its standards.
Corruption has apparently tainted the zealbts. Ethics are discarded, accomplishments forgotten, service discounted, because political beliefs differ or are misunderstood.
Perhaps the necessary measure of accomplishment is innocuity. Perhaps the necessary qualifications for the sparse SG awards is an unobtrusive personality, a penchant for distorting fact, and a profound uninterest in politics. With this in mind the vocal few on Council have made their point well. Disagree but don't step on our toes, they imply. This is too high a price for any ethical man to pay. And it will not be paid this semester.
Of course, it should be noted that there is no question that the students honored fully deserved their award. But the om-missions rankle. They sting a little, but not too much. Because one cannot get very excited about anything that" Student Council has done or has attempted to do these past few months. With this in mind students are invited to consider the endorsements below.
Your Pick This was supposed to be a crucial elec
tion. Words befogged issues. The fate of Student Government it was implied, hung
Jn the balance. Gigantic forces gathered steam, bandwagons appeared on the horizon, cannons roared, flags waved and all the parties involved tensed for the struggle. More indicative than anything else, supposedly, was the top of the ticket Here the leaders would be presented who would rally the forces of right and justice and experience. At last evil and good would come to grips. So what happened. Thud. And nothing more.
For one reason or another many of the people who had commanded much of the attention focused on campus politics during the past semester declined to run for the Presidency. No one should be criticized for failing to offer his services. However, i t . is a trifle beyond us to pretend that Armaggedon has come upon the scene with sudden fury.
In fact it is entirely beyond us to laud Rita Ashkenas, Barry Kahn, or Ira Glickstein. Mr. Glickstein has affirmed his support for causes we have constantly op-
sibility of students maturing too quickly, or exercising minority views. With this" summary of his protest movement we dismiss Mr. Glickstein.
Miss Ashkenas, although hardly in Mr. Glickstein's class, seems unlikely to blaze her wTay into the archives of the College's History. Her views are neither unique, imaginative nor particularly independent. Although, it is not our duty to question physical durability or inner confidence, it may be that Miss Ashkenas lacks both. We shudder to imagine the state of Miss Ashkenas' equilibrium after two weeks of the SG grind.
Which of course bring us to Barry Kahn, who coud not be considered a pearl in any oyster. Mr. Kahn has that rare quality which every SC representative has boasted since Eight B.C.: "Leadership potentiality."
This is not to say that he is now or ever will be-a leader. But there is just that possibility. Mr. Kahn speaks like a man who, at least knows his mind. He has an idea of what he wants to do and he cannot be dissuaded after a few minutes of polemical discussion. We cannot help but add that Mr. Kahn's certainty borders on dogmatism. And we cannot help but fear that Mr. Kahn will confuse the Democratic Forum and Union desires with * his own judgments.
Mr. Kahn we admit is the best of the lot. But, to put it bluntly, that's not saying much.
Competent • • . Two qualified and competent candi
dates, Jerry Swartz and Nels Grumer, are competing for the office of SG Vice President.
Swartz, an engineering student, has served on Student Council, the Academic Affairs Committee, Inter-Fraternity Council, Academic Freedom Committees and many other groups.
Grumer also has been very active at the College. He has held four different positions in SG, he was a copy editor of Observation Post, President of Hillel and his House Plan and a ^member of many committees.
The Editorial Board of Observation Post was impressed by Swartz's enthusiasm and imagination. His ideas on the5 curriculum delegation of SG responsibilities and) more flexible and realistic re-quirerftents for candidates for SG office ai;e both practiceable and sensible.
Also, Swartz is an engineer who wants to see more tech students involved in SG. The= dearth of tech participation has been a major reason for Student Government's ineffectiveness.
Through personal contact and by making SG more sensitive to the needs of tech students, he hopes to encourage them to participate in extra-curricular activities.
Grumer would be a competent and efficient Vice President However, we do not believe that SG will be improved by having him as Vice President Grumer, to us, does not seem one who would make a crusading, or even energetic Veep.
Observation Post endorses Jerry Swartz for Student Government Vice-President
Go Luster Two candidates are currently cam
paigning for position of Student Government Secretary.
Diana Laster, one of the contestants, has proved her ability to cope with problems which face students in all phases of life at the College. She has served on Student Council, was a cheerleader, and is a member of the staff of Microcosm.
Miss l i s te r ' s statement concerning
Council for one year. If during that time the student is unable to complete his term of office and there is a vacancy left on Council which the student body has no voice in filling until the following election. Miss Laster would revise this procedure and would receive our support in so doing.
She has also expressed approbation of a two-party system at the College. This is a position which we have frequently taken in hopes of insuring a greater student voice in the activities of Student Government.
We endorse Miss Laster on the basis of these and other views which she has outlined, and which we feel would be beneficial to the entire student body if instituted.
Hesitant • • • We found that the candidate for the
SG Treasurer's position was inexperienced and uncertain of what form his responsibilities should take. Although Herb Deutsch runs uncontested OP hesitates to extend its endorsement.
The Best.•• There are no candidates we are more
pleased about endorsing than Stanley Grossel and Mrs. Sandra Rosenblum for positions on Student Faculty Committee on Student Activities.
Mrs. Rosenblum has acquitted herself admirably during the past year she has servedon SFCSA and Stan Grossel has distinguished himself for his ingenuity, intelligence and patience during his stay on Student Council.
We are particularly proud to endorse Grossel because he is a member of a portion of the student body wbich has often been accused of apathy and indifference to student affairs. As an engineer and an undergraduate active in "co-curricular interests" Grossel is doing his best to dispel the current myth.
He also represents the best of the political party which has endorsed him. Due to personal considerations he was unable to run for SG president. We are distressed that there is a dearth of material for that position, but similarly we welcome Mr. Grossel's decision to run for SCFSA. He can add thoughtful decision and intelligent discussion to the immensely important process of Student-Faculty deliberations.
As gditor of Observation Post Mrs. Rosenblum has had a direct influence on the problems facing the student body. On SFCSA she has extended this influence. We hope she is not denied the opportunity to serve the College's community with her usual high standards.
Honor Systems There has probably always been and
always will be speculation at the College about the benefits or disadvantages of the honor system. The feasibility of such an institution is quite doubtful.
From the statistics of Professor Mid-dlebrook's report, the problem of cheating at the College has not, reached an infectious level. However, the fact that there is some borrowing in the classroom during examinations cannot be overlooked.
Before an honor system could be successfully undertaken, there would have to be some alteration of academic emphasis starting at the elementary school level. Cheating is obviously caused by nothing more than a desire to attain or maintain a high grade. Removing the emphasis on marks would lessen the problem considerably. This is an old nequest but nonetheless an important and significant one. An

Rosenblums H i t t ing Rises As Baseball Team Declines
An Apathetic Decade: and Lists
SiAcg the Cpjlege's baseball teim never rode on top of the Metropolitan League this season, Kenny Rosenblum is a man of distinction.
Playing on a "second division" tefim, Kenny began the season a threat to lead the Met League in batting.
What is even more surprising is the fact, that, this is his first sea-SOIJ with the .varsity team.. Although, his initial pace has slowed doyra considerably, Kenny is cur-reptly boasting a batting average in the *300's!
Last season, Kenny played cen-terfield for the College's frosh baseball team and finished the season with a .460 BA. Now he rotates between all the three out-fiel<j[ positions, but his average is no^ quite in the v400 range.
Key hits by Kenny in two early season games aided the Beavers to
two rare victories. In the opener the Intra-Mural Board, against a strong Hofstra array he Kenny feels that this season on broke open a 4-3 game with a bas-1 the varsity has befen very helpful es loaded .triple. Against Brooklyn, j for him. He improved on his field-Kenny garnered three hits, good for just as inany J tBIs .
The ,hard*hUting Beaver is an Economics major at the Baruch School. He played baseball at Madison High School and plays for the Eagles in the Parade Grounds League. He hopes to enter law school upon graduation.
Baseball Sreafcs Mpnotony
Besides attending classes and regular baseball practice, Kenny works about 24 hours a week for the Park Department. "The baseball games break up the monotony of school and my job," Kenny says.
He also tafces an active part in the extrarCurriQulftr progtram at the Baruch Scbpol. ,He wdtes for The Ticker, and is a refetee. for
ing abilities in that he has learned to get a better jump on the ball by observing the batters' stance. He admits, however, that he still has trouble hitting the low pitches.
The Lavender nine has about four or five sophs in the starting lineup. Thus Kenny believes the team will improve with time. "The players know that the potential is there, but it just hasn't jelled yet. One thing is certain," he says, "morale is still high."
In additional to the present morale, the team feels very optimistic about a decent finish in the Met standings.
'The team is confident, but I've never seen worse luck," is the way Kenny ^ums it up;

but rather generally at politics and particularly at the "picayune quarrels" in Student Council.
Steve Nagler, a graduate stu-dent here and Student Govem-
s.ment president in the spring e£ 1958, described the activities of SG as dominated by "passive moderation."
This condition, Nagler traces to the activities of the Department of Student Life.
"The DSL has sought to create nice socially acceptable students. It has resulted in a domination by passive moderation" he says,
Nagler sees the greatest problem of SC as an inability to understand its role. 'They just haven't looked at the College 3£ an entire community. They jus t haven't considered the wishes o | all the students."
And what axe the wishes of aU the students?
Perhaps it is as unrepresenta* tive as any of the other cora-ments published above. But ajj one day-session student seated behind a tall malted in the.Snadj: Bar_late in the evening expressed it:
"If I could pass all my courses with a little to spare, get a de? cent job, watch the basketball team win a few games and find a decent, passionate girl I would be satisfied. I'm not asking foe much 'more. And I don't want much more pushed on me."
And in this year of 1959, with the fifties inexorably receding, i t doesn't appear that much m^n? will be pushed on him.

Criteria for these awards should be based on the applicant's efforts and performance as a student lead^ er, not on his participation in a campus political party. However, in this case, it is obvious that no matter how qualified these four people were for .the awards, the opposing block, a minority in council, saw to it that these people would not receive awards. Permitting this minority the influence and contjpol of Student Council and student activities can only be detrimental to the democratic traditions of City College. This brings to mind the defacing of the College's name which occured a generation ago as a result of similar minority influence. It is unfortunate that City College still bears the scar left from the deep wounds inflicted by the last generation.
Most people remember the College not for its accomplishment but for its mistakes even though the accomplishments far outweigh the mistakes. We. the students at City College, must be made aware of the possibility of a similar situation
j arising. We cannot afford to let this happen again. We must see to it that Student Council and the newspapers and the rest of student activities are kept free to represent a majority of the student body. At City College, majority, not minority rule must prevail

Diamondmen Boot Another; Give Violets 13-9 Victory
By STEVE SOLOMON The College's baseball team defeated itself yesterday
with erratic fielding as it gave NYU a 13-9 victory in a Metropolitan Baseball Conference game.
The Beavers now have a 2-9 €>-record in the league. ^
Bill Botwinik, an outfielder who s tar ted on the mound for the Lavender turned out to be the goat of the game after it appeared he'd be the hero.
I n the opening frame with the College leading 1-0 and the bases loaded thanks to two hits, an error, and a walk, Botwinik stepped up to the plate and nailed a Bruce Campbell fastball for a grandslam homerun.
Leading 5-0 Botwinik did not fare very well on the mound. He gave up singles to Red Velpri and Mike Abernathy and then Dick Reilly connected for a three-run homer. Coach LaPlace decided to relieve him with Luby Mlynar.
However, feeling that he needed Botwinik's bat, the coach sent him

Coach John LaPlace Directs Debacle
to third base .The s t ra tegy was soon to backfire.
In the sixth inning disaster struck. T h e Beavers were leading, 8-4 and seemed to have the game in hand with Mlynar pitching steady ball.
However, Campbell opened the inning by walking and advanced to second on Velpri's single. After a fly out, Reilly walked to load the bases and this is where the Lav
ender defense collapsed.
A grounder by Al Klausman was booted by the dependable Bob Demas, permit t ing one run toj score, and when Bob Regan walked j foroing in the second run of thej inning Callichio took over for! Mlynar.
At this point, Botwinik erred, j With the bases loaded and the score, 8-6, Sal Carillo grounded to him and .instead of forcing the runner at home he decided to go for the double play.
H e stepped on third for one out but threw wildly to first permitting two runs to score and Carillo to go to third. Moments la ter he scored the fifth run of the inning to put NYU ahead by a run.
The Beavers managed to tie the contest in the top of the eighth on a Demas single and a double by Ken Rosenblum, but it made little difference. In the bot tom of the inning, the Violets tallied four runs on a two-run homer by Carillo and two-run triple by Conte to put the game out of reach.

Netmen Close Season Today
By J O E LOWIN In its last match of the season, the College's tennis team
opposes a weak St. John's squad this afternoon at the Fleet Tennis Club. ^
After being decisively bea ten over the weekend by NYU, the Beavers ' record now stands a t 3-4. The team is confident, however, that , after today's match, they will wind up the season with a .500 percentage.
Coach Har ry Karl in thinks t h a t "St . John 's is not any s t ronger than Manhat tan ." Manha t t an was trounced earlier this season by an 8-1 score by the Lavender. Yesterday, the Jaspers beat the Red-men in all six singles matches .
Captain Jay Hammel will face F r a n k Sacco, and Beaver Mike Stone will oppose Johnnie's Captain Mike Gallagher in the first two singles matches . Mark Buck-stein and Sy Silver will go a g a i n s t Ken Kubicki and John Dudelis in the thi rd and fourth matches r e spectively.
J e r r y Swartz and Vinnie Catr ini in the five and six spots will face Mo Vallat and Mat t Chlupsa. Gad Selig and Jack Kornf ield will probably go in the doubles as Coach Kar l in intends to use all his m e n in the final match of the season.
Harold Deutschman, who shows up only for t he doubles on Wednesdays, will not be able to play for the Beavers a t all this afternoon. "He sprained his shoulder before the ma tch last Sa tu r day," explained Professor Karl in, "and will be out for the res t of
H a r r y Karlin "We'll Win"
the season." H e went on to say, however, " I think we'll win without him."
St. John 's record for the season is 0-5 and they've found it very difficult to win many-of their singles matches . In fact most of the matches they 've won have been in the doubles competitioh-
Coach George Seewagen said
tha t the reason for his charges '
poor play is t ha t " there is a grea t
lack of experience on the team."
