epublican Club Submits Membership List Today

[Murray B. Yavneh, President of the Robert A. Taft Young 'iblican Club, announced yesterday that the Club is submitting

of twenty-six names of members to the Department of Student today, thus becoming t h e ^

fnd of the College's political | asked "What' are those who aren't is to comply with the recent j c o m p l y i n g t r y i n g t o h i d e ? T h e

student body should be expected to accept responsibility concur­rent with professed maturity."

Yavneh asserted that "the six organizations who have not sub­mitted their lists must be made to comply, or accespt the conse­quences of their immaturity. The integrity of the Student Faculty Committee on Student Affairs is at saike. They must not allow themselves to be coerced by a whining group of student 'lead­ers' into acquiesing to their un-

- ^ealisttG demands. Theae—organi­zations have never shown reluct­ance to accept the benefits grant­ed to chartered organizations. Why the reluctance to accept rea­sonable responsibility?"

SFCSA will hold an open meet­ing Monday evening in the Fac­ulty Room, 200 Main. Representa­tives of the clubs and all other interested students are invited. Informed sources claim that Dean James S.

Liaison Committee Formula Okayed by General Faculty

The General Faculty approved yesterday a proposal introduced by Student Council President Barney McCaffrey to set up student-faculty liaison committees. The committees will try to improve student-faculty relationships. The 150 member faculty group, which represents the four schools of the College, okayed the plan"*- — —__ ,—. . unanimously.

The faculty members of all of the committees will be ohosen by President Buell G. Gallagher. The President asserted that he "will give careful attention to the selections. This is not going to <be based on snap judgment." The student committees will be chosen by Student Council. Mem-

Jra Kiosk His Plan Revised

bership in SC will not be pre­requisite for selection to one of the committees.

The main object of these com­mittees is, according to Dr. Gallagher, to devise ways to improve student-faculty relation­ships. SC President Barney Mc­Caffrey, who originated the proposal, viewed the committees as "a sounding board for the consensus of student-faculty opin­ion. I hope that channels for pos­sible curriculum changes, stud-dent participation and observa­tion of Administration operation will come into 'being as a result of harmonious relationships be­tween students and faculty."

The Sdhools of Education and Liberal Arts will have three member liaison committees and the School of Technology a four memlber group. One memlber of each of these committees plus two members of the General Faculty will comprise a fourth group, which will be responsible to the General Faculty.

The_ McCaffrey Proposal is a revision of one advanced last

Orchestra to Perform Heard Musical Work

Tentative plans for a performance of two seldom heard musical = rks by Hector Berlioz and Arnold Schonberg have been ar-! ged by Professor Fritz Jahoda (Music) to be played by the City! ^ge orchestra. -0-^ e Schonberg work, Kol Ni-

has only been performed "e. in Los Angeles, with the 1P05er a: the baton. The Ber-composition, Lelio (Return to

has never been played be-fe accord;ng to the Berlioz So-ty. -elio was written as a sequel Berlioz's Sxxn&hony Fantasti-

Both the Schonberg and the Mioz compositions incorporate Rostra, chorus and narrator. l he compositions require an Rented orchestra. This entails t ;ng more instruments to the seru orchestra. Prof. Johoda

that there has been poor Jdent response to requests for * additional members required

t he enlarged orchestra. Prof.

Jahoda asks anyone who is quali­fied to .play with the orchestra to notify any member of the Mu­sic Department. If the necessary additional anrollment is not ob­tained the program will have to be abandoned.

The compositions are both lyric I monodramas. The narrator will be Prof. Adolf Anderson (Chem­istry) who will be accompanied by incidental music and a chorus. The other soloists are Oakley Baily, Constantine Cassolas and Harold Brienes.

The score is being sent from France; since the music is so rare, no copies are available in Amer­ica.

later than 3 Pi/L on March 15 The contestants will be notified when to appear.

Also on tap for this term, ac­cording to Dave Pfeffer, Class of '56 President, is a class out­ing, a campfire, and a moonlight cruise to be held later this term.

The Class of '56 Council has also begun planning for Senior Class activities. The location of the Senior Prom has been nar­rowed down to a dhoice between the Hotel Vanderbilt and the Hotel St. Moritz with a prelimi­nary vote favoring the Vander­bilt. In either case, the price will be $10 per couple which will in­clude a full four-course meal with a choice of turkey, chicken or fish.

nue. Interested students, accord­ing to Jerry Gold, assistant di­rector of House Plan, must reg­ister before March 2. Faculty members may also participate, but their scores will not be in­cluded in tabulations. A fifty cent charge is required from those competing. The tourna­ment will be held during the second week in Mardh.

A minimum of sixteen players is needed for the College's team to compete. Although it is con­sidered an advantage to come with your own partner, those signing as singles will be fur­nished with partners. The exact nature of the game is duplicate bridge, played according to or­thodox contract methods and rules. In duplicate bridge the cards are not a determining fac­tor since all teams will play ex­actly the same bands as their opponents.

The duplicate hands will test for the squeeze play, the throw-in, unblocking, dummy reversal, the safety play and correct se­quence of tricks.

Student Group Asks: Include $ for Sports

A student group voted last night to join forces in an effort to secure approval for a $55,000 municipal college athletic appro-priation.

At a meeting sponsored by the College's Varsity Club, interested students asserted their intention to work with student groups at the other municipal colleges and to petition the Board of Estimate to approve the appropriation re­quest. The request was made by the presidents of the four mu­nicipal colleges and incorporated in the tentative budget prepared by Dr. Joseph B. Cavallaro, Chairman of the Board of Higher Education.

Two members of the Varsity Club were chosen to meet with representatives of each of the other municipal colleges, to form a united front movement to se­cure Board of Estimate approval of the requested budget.

Of the suggested $55:000 ap­propriation, the College is to re­ceive $20,000, the money to be used for improving existing ath­letic facilities. Speakers at the meeting cited the need for a pro­gram of freshman athletic teams in all the major sports.

The group also decided to take action in the form of communi­ques to the Office of the State Commissioner of Education, Dr. Lewis A. Wilson. The commu­niques would ask him to over­rule the ruling which established the present "equated hours" system in the Hygiene Depart­ment, and restore teaching loads to a "one for one" hourly basis, a move which would equate hy­giene loads to those existing in the other departments at the College.

This phase of the student cam­paign, dealing with the "equated hours" system, would be without the benefit of united front sup­port, it was explained. Move­ments on the part of teachers and groups, it was felt, had al­ready become established in other colleges, so as to make a new movement impractical.

1955 BC At a sister school, Brooklyn College, students have seen

their rights reach the vanishing point—all in a few years. !Almost 5,000 students have lost their right to picl^ their own Headers. Their money is being appropriated by students who have assumed the position of Administration stooges. Their newspaper, Vanguard, lost its faculty advisor and thus its charter five years ago. Vanguard dared to criticize the Ad­ministration.

The BC Debate Council is the victim of a new attempt to stifle student thought. Although it has been invited to over ten debates, its faculty advisor has refused, by a poweP Ihe has apparently just inherited, to permit the team to ful­fill any requests. The advisor, Professor William A. Behl, has been given the wholehearted support of the chairman of the Speech Department. The Debate Council has been given the choice of obeying their advisor in the same sense as it would if the Debate Council were a regular class or being suspended from activities. The club has refused to accept the Administration choice on the logical theory that at has done nothing so far this term and by suspension it will lose nothing. The faculty advisor is now the 1955 coun- i terpart of Big Brother, holder of all truth and knowledge, j

Student Government at BC is a farce. The Kingsman,; successor to the Vanguard, has refused to buck the Admin- j istration for fear of meeting the same fate as its predecessor. \ Debate at BC is sharply cut.

There's no use kidding ourselves. Student apathy is the world's greatest shortcut to loss of student rights. Unless we guard our hard-won liberties carefully, it may also hap­pen here.

A m i e Deutchman, U F 5: The

Diversity Plans for the observance of Academic Freedom Week.

April 21-28, are now getting underway. Its theme "'Man's Right to Knowledge and the Free Expression Thereof" seems very appropriate to us. as it sums up the essence of academic freedom. However, if the week will faithfully adhere to its theme, we feel that some pf the lessons learned from last year's activities should be remembered.

Last year, the invited speakers all represented basically, one view on the subject of academic freedom. They presented; their opinions sincerely and with great intellectual honesty, fout they by no means presented the only valid views on the subject. It is a very broad one and subject to many in­terpretations. This year, we feel that by inviting speakers; of differing viewpoints the spirit of the theme will be fol­lowed and the diversity of opinion will make the week a more successful one than that of last year.

The committee organizing the week's program has al­ready taken one constructive step. On the basis of past experience the group has broken up into several smaller sub­committees, each with specific responsibilities rather then remaining one large unweildy group as its predecessor was. We think this move is a step in the right direction and wish! the group luck in planning a meaningful week. j

Beavers Fate Braadeis; Will Seek .500 Record

By HERSCHEL NISSENSON Having tied the unenviable record for the largest margin of

defeat in the history of the College at St. John's Tuesday night, the CCNY basketball team will attempt to bring its season's mark back

.500 tomorrow night against <* to Brandeis University. The game, which will start at 8 PM, will be played at the Abraham Sha­piro Athletic Center in Waltham, (Mass., with a seating capacity ot 1,000.

If the game is anything like last year's thriller it should be a "lulu." The Beavers won it, 77-76, but had to withstand a furious Brandeis rally to gain the vic­tory. As it was, only a missed foul shot after time had run out provided the mafgin of victory.

Included in that contest was an unscheduled fight between City's Jerry Domershick and the Judges' Lenny Winograd. Since both players have been graduated, to­morrow night's affair should be peaceful enough.

The Judges are coached by Harry Stein, a OCNY graduate. In his four seasons at the helm. Stein's outfit has compiled an overall 57-26 record. This year their mark is 11-6.

Brandeis defeated S u f f o l k "(Mass.), Northeastern, Wheaton, Boston College, Brooklyn Col­lege, Rider, Bowdoin, Worcester Tech., Bates, Massachusetts and Springfield. The Blue and White bowed to Colby, LaSalle, Wayne, Tufts, St. Anselm's and Boston University.

Top performer for the Judges ds center Jimmy Houston, a 6-foot S-inch junior, who is averag­ing over twenty points per game and is also the team's leading

rebounder. The starting forwards will

probably be Rudy Finderson, a 3-foot 3-inch freshman, and Roger Morgan, a 6-foot 2-inch senior. At the guards will be Captain Jules 'Babe" Yoselevitz, a 5-foot 10-inch senior, and Mai Avchen, a 6-foot 2-inch junior. The Judges' top substitutes are Art Ellish, a 6-foot 5-inch junior, and Hubert LeBlanc, a 5-foot 9-inch freshman.

The New Englanders were weakened early in the campaign by the loss of Gerry Smith, a 6-foot 5-inch senior. Smith, one of the team's leading scorers last season, suffered an attack of ap­pendicitis several months ago and is still recuperating.

Coach Nat Holman will select his starting five from among seven players: Captain Merv Shorr, Herb Jacobsohn, Ronnie Kowalski, George Jensen, Dave Simmons, Ralph Schefiflan and Walt Tannenbaum. Jacobsohn, who hit a personal high of eighteen points against Rider last S a t u r d a y , was disappointing against St. John's, failing to score a single point.

Rebounds or Chalk?Its A Days Work for Alex

By STAN WECKER There's quite a difference between a backboard and a black

board, but Alex Miselson, unofficial member of the College's basiket hall team, is one man who doesn't seem to care. Aside from heipin, Basketball Coach Nat Holman^-

GIVE BLOOD

with the squad, Alex doubles as a high school teacher and an in­structor in the Evening Sessioji History Department.

Known to the players as the man with the fountain pen, Alex may be seen busily jotting down heiroglyphics and symbols in a little black book during a game. Later these are translated into bad passes, hurried shots, or other mistakes, and are carefully reviewed in practice sessions. His other duties include scouting and "a certain degree of instruction." Alex's ambition is to some day coach a team of his own, on a college level.

''Alex came to me of his own volition," Coach Nat Holman ob­served. "He's really conscientious and has done a swell job for me this season."

Alex Miselson first met Nat Holman in 1943 when he tried out for basketball and made the team as a substitute. A short stay in the Army interrupted his hoop career, but he returned to City and played junior varsity ball until 1947, when he graduated cum laude. He maintained his in­terest in the sport even after

graduation, serving as team stat istician until the scandals in 1951. Last year he returned as public address announcer for the team's home games.

Alex was born in New Yor'; City in 1926 and came to CCNY after attending DeWitt Clinton High School. At City he majored in history, and despite his ath­letic interests he won the Ward Medal in history, and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. In il950 he received his Masters de­gree at Columbia University and is presently working towards his doctorate in history.

Crushed. • In a runaway game at the

Kingswomen's Gym last night, the Brooklyn College Women's Basketball team trounced the City College gal basketeers, 39-12.

Sandy Weinberg and Betty Brooks led the sputtering City attack with four points apiece. It was the fifth defeat for the Beaverettes against two Twins.
