president William W. Hagerty
met with the senior class
Wednesday to discuss the re­
lationship that they have had with
Drexel in the past four or five
years, what has happened in this
time and where they can go from
here.
He began by stating that about
72 percent of the original group
that started in the five-year plan
in 1963 and the four-year plan
in 1964 have remained in school
in good standing and will graduate
this June. He felt that this was
especially significant since the
acceptable academic standards
have become harder to meet
during this time.
“ To make these rises and
still graduate over seventy per­
cent is a remarkable achieve­
ment,” He added, “ I don*t know
if our students are healthier or
if financially the co-op plan and
government loans have helped us
to retain so many. Draft pres­
sure may have made some stay,
too.”
Draft situation
Speaking to the class concern­
ing the draft situation, President
Hagerty said, “ F irs t of all, one
of the big concerns is uncertain­
ty. Sometimes to resolve un­
certainty you i r e willing to pay
too high a price. It is a great
temptation not to go to grad
school. I would advise you to
start graduate work. If you run
down to Officers’ Candidate
School, that’s a certainly; the
probability of getting called the
first year is thirty percent and
the second year, fifty percent.’*
He remarked that Drexel’s
grad school will have a high
turnover, losing thirty or forty
percent before the end of the
courses. But there is a chance
that the grad schools will be
more dollar-limited than stu­
dent-limited. He referred to the
fact that the government has cut
back on allocations in all areas
but that the cut for schooling is
twenty percent. This could be a
significant factor for graduate in­
stitutions’ operations.
“ I feel you should make your
plans; the risks of going into in­
dustry are no greater now (per­
centage-wise) except the num­
bers are greater,” he told those
who were interested in going right
into occupations. He resumed,
m e e ts ,
alum ni
“ Life is uncertain,
wouldn’t
pay
year or two
my life
to resolve an uncertainty.”
Readmission questioned
At this point, questions were
elicted from the senior audience.
The general discussion went as
follows; If once one were ac­
cepted to grad school, drafted,
imprisoned for refusing to enter
the military and eventually re ­
turned to Drexel grad school,
would he be accepted? Hagerty
replied that the decision would
not be his or the graduate dean’s
alone. As is the policy now, a
committee would consider a full
report on the student. He added
that if one were to commit man­
slaughter and come to them with
this criminal record it would
be an essential part of the de­
cision. His personal opinion was
that he would reject the student.
One student brought up the
fact that in some schools the en­
tire senior class is being in­
ducted for amy physicals and ask­
ed if this will happen here. Presi­
dent Hagerty quickly answered,
.“ No, that only happens in mili­
tary institutes.”
When asked if he favored op­
tional finals for seniors, he re­
plied, “ I never heard of any
senior in good standing in a
course failing because of a
final.”

An injunction from the bench
of Judge Ralph C, Body enjoined
the U. S. Dept, of Housing and
Urba^ Development (HUD) from
providing financial assistance to
several University City building
projects.
Drexel facilities effected by
the ruling were the parking
A student asked if there will
be any change in the co-op policy
or the length of schooling. Presi­
dent Hagerty related that when
he came to Drexel one of the
things put to him by the trustees
and faculty was that the stu­
dents should have a full aca­
demic spectrum from which to
work, both undergraduate and
graduate. He asked if they would
be willing to drop the co-op pro­
gram and “ it went over like a
lead balloon.” They told him to
compare the co-op students with
the regular four-year students.
In comparing DIT with other
colleges and universities. Presi­
dent Hagerty said that Drexel was
one of the largest private en­
gineering schools on a under­
graduate level. Other schools be­
come known for their football,
basketball and graduate pro­
grams.

Plaintiffs in the suit are Carl
W. Johnston and Eva Novotny of
3306 Race St., who filed in be­
half of themselves and other
residents of the area.
The action names as defendents
Robert C. Weaver, secretary of
HUD; Regional Administrator
Warren P. Phelan; The Phila­

ity; Gustave G. Amsterdam, au­
thority chairman, and Francis
Lammer, executive director of
the authority.
Representing Johnson and No­
votny is attorney Arsen Kashkashian, Jr. The contention of the
Powelton group is that Drexel’s
plan does not intensively use the
available space and housing has
been unnecessarily razed as a
result.
According to The Evening Bul­
letin of Feb. 28, the suit claims
“ that the project fails to meet
conditions for a federal loan and
that because such conditions have
not been met, irreparable damage
will be done to properties in the

Basement fir e dam ages
APL f r a t e r n it y house
A fire in the basement of the
Alpha Pi Lambda fraternity house
drove out the residents about 9
a.m. Wednesday, By noon, the
brothers were moving into the
building formerly occupied by the
Oncologic Hospital Clinic, across
33rd Street from the house.
Fire damage to the house was
confined to the basement, al­
though upper floors sustained
some water damage and broken
indows. The heart of the house’s

fire “ structurally, in splendid
shape.”
One member of Apple Pi told
The Triangle, “ I got out as soon
as they spread the word, and it
was already pretty bad. The guys
who went around to the floors to
warn the people up there had to
come down the fire escapes be­
cause the smoke was getting so
bad.”
Members tried to fight the
blaze themselves with fire ex­
tinguishers, but they were un­
able to approach the heart of the
flames because of the dense
smoke.
The quarters provided to the
fraternity consist mostly of the
main room of the clinic, plus
some toilet facilities surround­
ing the room. There were no
showers in the building, nor was
there sufficient room in which
to put desks.
Some fraternity members were
considering commuting from
homes in the Philadelphia area
until the house was ready for oc­
cupancy.

The contest started in Janu­
ary, with selection committee
chairman Jack Becker, The T ri­
angle’s managing editor, solicit­
ing nominations from the student
body at large. A total of 27
girls were nominated, and from
these, ten semi-finalists were
gleaned.
The ten semi-finalists were
asked to appear at three separate
judgings, dressed as they would
for school, for a campus social
activity and for a dinner engage­
ment. Based on the girls’choices
of dress they considered appro­
priate for the respective occa­
sions, and on the coeds’ abil­
ity to describe their fashion types
and their motivations for dress­ I
ing as they did, they were judged.

ing it to Washington, D.C. for a

Tonight will be a busy night
for the socially oriented I>rexel student. This '*-eek there will
actually be something else to do
other than feed the DAC’s Com­
puter Quiz and pinball machine
(oh, you haven’t heard about those
exciting additions?; Beginning at
7:30 p.m. the Women’s Athletic
Association CARNR'AL SWING
will happen in the Armory at 33rd
and Lancaster Avenue. For the
freshmen, Carnival Swing is a
diversified fun event where Dr exel fraternities, sororities and
general organizations set up
booths and games (which often
include such fun activities as
a marriage booth, kissing booth,
sorority pledge masseuses, etc.)
It’s different and has always been
a greatly anticipated event.
Following Carnival Swing is
the Student Program Board’s
ROCK AND SOUL MIXER in the
Grand Hall of the DAC. The event
begins at 9 p.m. and features the
music of “ The Mainliners” and
“ The Effects.” Admission for
Drexel students with ID cards
is 75C.
Also tonight is a special FRI­
DAY NITE FLICKER. The cur­
rent release of DR. FAUSTUS
which stars Richard Burton and
Elizabeth Taylor with the Oxford
University Dramatic Societ}' will
be screened in the Main Auditor­
ium at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. If
you’re more interested in Carni­
val Swing, the film will also be
shown on Saturday and Sunday
of this weekend. On Saturday,
however, the location will ^

way, is everyone cognizant that
Disque is pronounced dis-kwae;

and I still hear some people r e ­

BATE TOL*RNAMENT on April
5 and 6. There will be over 35
colleges attending including W'est
Point. As they informed me that
they are looking for over 75 of
these “ hostesses” and by coin­
cidence there will be about 75
male delegates...well, I’ll let you
make the obvious assumption.
If you are interested in such
activities (and you’re female)
contact the debate societ)'. The
SPB has conveniently scheduled
a mixer that evening, so there
will be something to do for the
“ delegates and hostesses."
THE SENIOR CLASS can buy
5-cent hamburgers, hot dogs and
french fries with free cokes,
potato chips and pretzels today
at noon (if you just picked up
this paper, that might be right
about now). This is happening in
the Grand Hall of the DAC. As
senior president Joel Lantzman
told me he was afraid that they
may run out of free stuff early,
as they did at Cavanaugh’s,
he asked me to ask you to hold
yourself to two hamburgers un­
til after 1 p.m. That way, late
comers will have half a chance;
okay?

er, and the Friday Nite Flicker
were not enough for one Friday
night, the Drexel Players will
also be performing their popu­

tire play tonight, T!ie perform­
ance will be at the Annex Theater
at 35th and Lancaster. There is
no admission charge for Drexel
students and reservations can be
made in advanceby phoning EV 72400, Ext. 2122. The play will
begin at 8:40 p.m. and the filial
performance is tomorrow night
at the same time.
Tomorrow, Saturday, March 2,
is the Student Program Board’s
DAY-MTE SKI TRIP to Timber
HiD and Camelback. Buses will
leave Drexel at 9:30 a,m., spend
the day at Timber Hill and the
evening at Camelback. Total cost
for transportation, skis and a
day-lift ticket is SIO. A S5
deposit must accompany your
sign-up. Reservations should be
made at the Main Desk of the DAC
today. Saturday night is MUSIC
NITE at DrexeL Beginning at 8
p.m. in the Main Auditorium the
music department will feature
the music of Drexel’s combined
glee clubs, the Varsity’ Singers,
the Orchestra and the ROTC
Band. Admission to this sterling
program is free (this event ac­
counts for the move of Saturday’s
DR. FAUSTUS film to the Disque
Auditorium).
Tomorrow afternoon, evening
and Sunday, ALPHA PHI OMEGA
is sponsoring a Sectional Con­
ference of 13 fraternity chapters
in the sectional area. This in­
cludes chapters at MIT, Univer­
sity of Connecticut and Lehigh.
Tomorrow night, the sectional
features a closed mixer for dele­
gates and ANY' girls. If you are
an ANT girl, you might want to
go; the mixer is in the Grand Hall
of the DAC, features live music
and is free.
Hum and Tech program
One student stated that the
Humanities and Technology pro­
gram is only in its infancy, but
there seems to be a good re ­
sponse. He asked where it is
going.

President Hagerty explained
three reasons for the Program:
1) Many liberal arts professors
resigned in 1963. They came and

will prevail,” he added.
Drexel President William W.
Hagerty was notified of the in­
junction about noon Wednesday.
Vice-president and Treasurer
Harold W. Myers was quickly
dispatched to the courthouse by
Hagerty to find out the specific
charges. “ Myers will tell us what
it is and our attorneys will tell
us what to do,” said Hagerty.
Public hearings for the plot of
land in question were held in
the fall of 1966 (see Triangle,
Oct. 7, ’66). At that time PCHA
contended that Drexel’s plan for
expansion would “ split Powelton Village down the middle.”

their PhD’s, published and left.
The program is reason for such
good teachers to stay. 2) Many
students came to Drexel for one
year and dropped out. Another
alternative had to be offered.
3) There has always been a gap
between the sciences and the
liberal arts. This program tries
to bring the two together.
There followed questions about
credit loads and reduction of re­
quired credits for graduation so
that the student would have more
depth per course. Another issue
mentioned was intercollegiate
athletics. President Hagerty said
that Drexel’s policy would not
change but that the new physical
education center should provide
more stimulus for participation
by spectators and also greater
interest in intramural sports.

The alternative plan of the
association would have in­

week
The Travel Committee of SPB
is offering an “ after finals week­
end,” March 15, 16 and 17. The
scene is the Laurels Hotel and
Country Club in Monticello, New
York,and the price is $40.
Chairmen Jim Stark and Brian
McElwell have listed the offer­
ings at this price as follows:
three days and two nights’ lodg­
ing, six meals, a free cocktail
party, ice skating, toboganning,
skiing with free lift tickets, all
gratuities, nightclub room, dis­
cotheque dancing, and big-name
entertainment. For an additional
$5, bus transportation will be
provided at scattered intervals
on Friday.
A $5 deposit at the DAC desk
will secure a reservation. SPB
stresses that places are limited,
and that because DIT supports
its events, the price is actually
below cost.
L e a s t - c o s t met hod i n o p e r a b l e
Pollution control was original­
ly operated on a least-cost basis;
that is, the degree of control ex­
ercised was dependent on the
amount of benefit derived from
this control and on its cost.
This method, however practical
it may seem, is no longer feasible
simply because the problem has
taken on such proportions as to
be a very real threat to the
residents of our cities. There­
fore, more and more city and
community governments are re­
stricting the amount of pollution
that they will allow to be “ creat­
ed” by industries operating with­
in their jurisdiction, no matter
what the cost of the control
measure.
The chief problem with such
legislative measures is that they
are limited in their area of ap­
plication. A city may cut down
on the pollution created by its
own industry only to be buried
in soot from the factories in a
neighboring town. Most water
pollution problems are not cre­
ated by a single source of pol­
lution, but are rather the result
of an accumulation of pollutants
from an entire watershed.
Local re sponsibility
Nevertheless, the task of main­
taining environmental quality
should remain the responsibility
of the local government, says
Dr. Purdom. He claims that to
make it a state or federal project
is to destroy any feeling of com­
munity responsibility that in­
dustry might now have and to
create in its place a feeling of
resentment against federal in­
tervention. What he believes is
necessary
is
“ wide-spread
regional cooperation between
communities for the control of
all sources of pollution.”
Dr. Rirdom also pointed out
that industry must learn to feel
responsible for the effect on
the environment of all the equip­
ment it produces. He hopes for a
change in attitude on the part of
equipment designers as well. The
ideal situation would be when, for
example, “ the designer of the
internal combustion engine would
not feel his job is complete
until he has removed the pol­
lutants from his product.”
P s y c h o l o g i c a l p o l lu t i o n
A third type of “ pollution”
cited by Dr. Purdom was “ psy­
chological pollution.” By this
he meant the mental health prob­
lems caused by the overcrowd­
ing in the ghettos and the dis­
ruption of community life cre­
ated by highway construction,
etc., on a least-cost basis. These
problems may prove to be great­
e r in the long nm than the more
publicized stream and air pol­
lution problems, he claimed.
Q u e s t i o n an d a n s w e r pe rio d
After concluding his talk. Dr.
Purdom asked for questions from
the audience. He answered ques­
tions on such problems as paper
disposal, the accumulation of tox­
ins in the water under land-fill
areas, and the feasibility of con­
verting organic wastes into foods
for livestock. He stated that there
are studies presently being un­
dertaken to determine the feasi­
bility of recirculating water in
major industrial plants and even
in large office buildings. This
is technically feasible now, but
there are a number of social and
psychological b arriers that must
be overcome before it can be
instituted.

divided the problems into five
main categories--air pollution,
water pollution, noise pollution,
land contamination, and radio­
logical health problems. He ex­
plained that whereas in the past,
each of these problems has been
dealt with separately, today it
has come to the point where
pollution control efforts must be
coordinated and expanded in
order that a healthy “ total en­
vironment” be maintained. He
went on to say that “ environ­
mental quality (has become) a
social goal” in our modern so­
ciety.

love not w ar’ is point of 'Lysistrata’

By S. Z i e n k i e w i c z
The Drexel Players opened
their winter term production
“ Lysistrata” on Friday and S a t-.
urday evening. It will continue
to run for two weekends with a
performance last nite, tonite and
closing Saturday evening.
“ Lysistrata” is an ancient
Greek play written by Aristophaenes. It was adapted for
Drexel use by Adelle S. Rubin,
the director of the production.
“ Lysistrata” concerns itself
"
with a contemporary problem,
the cessation of war, in an an­
cient setting. The heroine, Lysistrata, convinces the women
of several cities to withhold their
favors from their men until all
warmaking is stopped. The wo­
men’s anti-war campaign has
difficulties intrinsic to a move­
ment of its nature. The women
have difficulty restraining them­
selves from breaking their pact;
and the men are rather up-tight
in general. The story, however,
ends ha^jpily. Under Lysistrata’s

Due to the bawdy nature of
the plot, the audience was of­
fered a presentation
like any ever seen before
the Lancaster Annex theater
The lines were to the POint and
few punches were pulled. In spite
of the nature of the lines, none
of the actors and only a small
segment of the audience were
fin stp red or embarrassed.

The Drexel-Wanamaker-Cone
Fashion Show of originals de­
signed and made by the students
of the design department was held
Wednesday, February 28, in Wanamaiter’s 3rd-floor auditorium,
prospective freshmen for the
Home Economics College from
local high schools were invited
to this show.
All fashions modeled were
made of material from Cone Cot­
ton’s current line of fabrics and
included terrycloth, corduroy,
gaberdine and other types of cot­
ton fabrics. The costumes were
divided into five categories; sleep
P la n s a n n o u n c e d fo r
c re a tio n s
wear, play wear, street wear,
day wear and party wear. The
41 young student-designers conslructed a lolal of 63 garments
for the show.
The models paraded down the
T-shaped runway to the music of
the Rolling Stones and ‘'Sergeant
P e p ^ r ’s Lonely Hearts Club
Band” by the Beatles. The young­
est models, brothers and sisters
of the student-designers, stole
the show with their antics: par­
ticularly, “ Master Andrew” who
modeled Rita Kappers’ creation
of a navy-blue jumpsuit and white
jacket for the youngest gentle-
C ongress e le c tio n s
man.
T h r e e p r i z e s a w a rd e d
Prizes for the show were cap­
tured by Diana Titus, first prize;
Carol Ormsby, second prize; Pa­
tricia Stumpo, third prize. Miss
Titus’ creation, entitled “ Rasp­
berry Swirl," was a party-wear
A-line dress of raspberry and
white, sleeveless with a c ris s ­
cross bodice which tied in a bow
at the back. Miss Ormsby's de­
sign was entitled “ Ruff-Ruff,”
a striking brown and white pat­
terned party dress with leg-omutton sleeves and a gathered
skirt culminating in a large ruf­
fled hem. The design was very
feminine and appropriately titled.
Miss Stumpo designed a day-wear
outfit for the very young set. Her
creation was entitled “ Dandi
Kaper,” a Uttle girl’s cape and
dress set. The cape was of yellow
cotton and the dress was white
with box pleats fallin from the
bodice back.
Mr. Robert Tansill of Cone
Mills presented the awards to
the girls. Other finalists select­
ed by the judges were Tinker
Harris, “ Pink Pear-fection” ;
Susan Orloff, “ Glad Plaid” ;
Elaine Gunn, “ Daisy Baby’»; Zi­
ta Truskolowski, “ Bareback” ;
Vicky Schussler, “ Undercover” ;
Anita Yeagley, “ Seafoam” ; and
Diane Titus, “ Foggy, Foggy
Dew.”
Judges for the show included
Don Donahue, Fashion Editor of
Simplicity; Mrs. Shirley Fletcher
of Queen Knitting Mills; Jerry
Hansen of G.E. Hansen Inc.; L ar­
ry Kurts of Cherberg Company;
Mrs. Mildred Orich, designer
for Villager; and Mary Alice
Orito of Petit League.
Student Congress elections for
the academic year 1968-1969 are
scheduled to be held the week
of April 29 to May 3. Persons
chosen in this election will serve
from the first week of summer
term 1968 to the last week of
spring term 1969.
Positions available include
four representatives to the Stu­
dent Congress from each class;
sophomore, pre-junior, junior
and senior class officers; and
the executive branch—President
of the Student Body and the Vice
Presidents of Academic, Stu­
dent and Financial Affairs. Al­
so included on the ballot will be
questions of government policy.

Taking everything into consid­
eration, I enjoyed the play. It
was hilarious and, for the most
part, very well performed. I was
somewhat dissapointed with the
latter parts of the play when it
appeared that a few of the male
actors in supporting roles felt
that they were performing a wellrehearsed court skit. In fact, I
felt that at times they WERE
performing a well-rehearsed
court skit. All in all, the women
outplayed the men; the presenta­
tion was better than the script
and it lacked any sort of subtlety;
but it was the funniest play I’ve
ever seen at Drexel.
Anyone wishing to have such a
question placed on the ballot
should submit a petition contain­
ing signatures from at least 5%
of the full-time day student body
(275 or more students) to the
Secretary of the Congress on or
before April 5.
According to Elections Com­
mission Chairman Eric Salkin,
those students in industry dur­
ing spring term will receive pe­
titions, lists of candidates, in­
dustry ballots, etc., in the mail
at least two weeks before they
are due to be returned. This
information will be available to
all students in school in The
Triangle.
Petitions may be picked up in
the Dean of Men's Office as of
March 4, Petitioners need not
obtain signatures on their pe­
titions, and any full-time day
student with a cumulative aver­
age of 2.0 or better is eligible
to run. All petitions must be
turned in to the Dean of Men's
Office on or before April 5.

Unless a person has some J^nfluence
at his local draft board over his fate,
he is highly susceptible to the draft in­
fection. Military necessities are now valued
more than higher education m America.
This implies that the country
a
philosophy of physical force over all reason and intellect or, in other words,
brute force will force one to reason, i.e.,
the daily bombing of North Vietnam will
bring Ho Chi Minh to peace negotiations.
Violence produces peace—for nothing is
more peaceful than a graveyard. ^
However, I am not going to discuss the
pros and cons of Vietnam. A solution will
only come when Washington repairs its
damaged moral intellect (if it has one).
My concern is for the present and future
men who face this draft infection. This
concern is narrow in scope, seeing only
the black men in Army green uniforms.
In the larger view I feel the majority of
young men (white Americans) would be
able to justify serving the country if only
to protect all the benefits they have de­
rived from it. Black soldiers have a long
history, a part of the great American in­
equality tradition, which excluded them from
defending the nation, unless military re ­
cruits were a desperate necessity.
How paradoxical the present situation
is! Black men feel that helping to estab­
lish freedom and democracy in South­
eastern Asia will extend into a better
position for them after the war has end­
ed. When a nation puts its all out ef­
fort to help a foreign country gain a
democratic government, it should not
be hypocritical in its domestic policy.
On the other side of the coin, whites
view the war and draft as an interrup­
tion of their personal pursuits—educa­
tion, marriage, or career. It is an in­
convenience to spend two years in mil­
itary service when there are many bet­
ter things to do. Althou^ there are many
platitudes about the inhumanities of the
war coming from a home front which
permits inhumane police brutality, there is
a clear, logical realism in objecting to the
war. For the comfortable, middle-class,
mechanized masses, Vietnam is an ob­
stacle to the usual stagnate apathy. They
should protest because the war interferes
with many future plans.

In my opinion black Americans should
not only protest but also refuse to fight.
Why should black men f i ^ t for any Amer­
ican cause when they are excluded from
almost every American privilege? It was
only in this decade that black men could
even serve in the military service with­
out the War Department telling the Amer­
ican public that they could do so. “ The
day after Pearl Harbor a group of Negro
editors ... met with the War Department
officials and urged them to create a mixed
volunteer division—one open to all men,
irrespective of race, creed, color or na­
tional origin," writes Benjamin Quarles in
“ The Negro in the Making of America,”
“ This proposal was considered by the
Army officials for some time but was
formally rejected in September, 1943,'’
How pathetic it is for an alleged citizen
in time of war to have to ask to defend
his country on an equal basis! Throughout
the black man’s history in America he
has had to break into the wars like a
burglar. Only in times of manpower short­
ages has the black man been able to serve
his country.
Segr eg ate d military
Even when the privilege to serve was
gained, tlie black soldier was treated in
an inferior manner. Before this decade it
was a national policy to segregate the
blacks into colored military units. It should
be noted tliat during World War O inte­
grated Navy and Marine units were initi­
ated but in a limited capacity, usually
keeping the black soldier in low-ranking
memal tasks. \ e t back at tlie home front,

of course) ate without delay and w i t h o th e r

trace the black soldier’s unwanted, s e g r e ­
gated, inferior position in all t h e United

American Revolution. It is only n o w when
the glory and honor of military s e r v i c e is
gone that the battlefronts welcome black
soldiers equally. White America h a s fled
to suburbia, and black America is gaining
majority in the declining cities. B l a c k men
now constitute a majority p e r c e n t a g e in
proportion to our black population in V ie t­
nam. Both of these represent l e f t o v e r s .

An article in a recent PLAYBOY issue
nv John C. MarUn entitled, “ The Crimi­
nal M entality,” first provoked my thoughts
on crim inality. This essay iacluded a neat
summary of those apparently inexplicable,
inmotivated mass murders:
two c h ild r e n to lie down on th e floor
a n d s h o t th em m e t h o d i c a l ly .
As the title suggests, the PLAYBOY
article attempts to explain pertinent ques­
tions on the criminal mentality; How are
man’s motivations for crimes of brutality
^ d violence developed? Where are the ori­
gins of these motivations?
Two opposing concepts form the basis
for all theories of criminality. The first
concept suggests that criminality is in­
herited: Criminality is an inherent ten­
dency in man. The trait is biologically
programmed according to individual gene
displacement. Contrarily, the second con­
cept suggests that criminality is learned:
Criminality is a result of our cultural re ­
lationships. The trait is a sociological
consequence.
Without a great deal of intellectual
heraldry, these two concepts can be quick­
ly traced to the theories of Thomas Hobbes
In recent m o n th s , a M i n n e s o t a fa rm e r
and John Locke. The first concept paral­
shot and ki ll e d h i s w i f e a n d s e t a

opinion is borne out by the experience
of Denmark reported in Time (Jan. 26,
1968). The article said that ten
years ago Denmark was quite sim ilar
to the United States in censorship. Such
books as Fanny Hill were banned there.
Over the years, the volume of illegal
literature on the market increased con­
siderably. Then, last June, the Danish
Parliament alwUshed all laws on
literature. Immediately a flood of the
worst pornography flooded the news­
stands. What happened? Seventy-five
per cent of the first volume of books
were returned unsold to the publisher.
Sales of pornographic literature actually
dropped. It seemed that nobody really
cared about pornography once it was no
longer considered as such.
I don’t mean to suggest that nobody
would care about sex if all censorship
laws were suddenly repealed, if frank
sex education were started in the schools,
“ laws such as indecent exposure were
repealed. However, it does seem that sex

right to ask them to risk their lives in a
war they don’t support. I am not sure
what this means. Does it mean that they
will f i ^ t if they can pick their war? Or
are they against all wars? If so, where
will they go? Practically the entire world
has at one time or another been or will be
involved in some type of military conflict.
Therefore, the only answer for them may
be donning of a hermit’s garb and with­
drawal into themselves for internal medi­
tation. Obviously these men cannot face the
cold, cruel world.
C hange the conditions
Another question remains as to what these
people want. Some want to leave a societal
system with which they disagree. I say to
them--stay in your country and try to change
the things you dislike, don’t run away and
hide. There are means in this country for
implementing changes in the governmental
system. It has been said that these means
are too slow. But what realistic, sure-fire
solutions do these people offer which will
be immediately effective? None.
Still others of this lot want to set up
another society in which everyone will be
able to do what he wishes as long as it
doesn’t affect the other members of his
society. This sounds ideal but there is one
small fallacy in this line of thinking—what
fantastic, exciting or exhilarating things can
be done without affecting other members of
the society? The answer once again is none.
Realistically speaking-, it seems that what
these people want is not v e r y different from
what they have in the United States. We have
a system which allows a large amount of
personal freedom as l on g as other members
of the system aren’t adversely affected. We
allow dissent and disagreement as long as
the national security is not threatened. It
might be said, “ Ah yes, but look at the
restrictions on these freedoms.’’ To this
retort, I would reply that a society without
restrictions would produce nothing more
than a chaotic rubble of useless humanity.
Moment of truth
And now, June approaches. The moment
of truth and decision is right around the
corner. I say, remember gentlemen, the
decision that you make will affect your en­
tire Ufe and the lives of your family and
children. Remember that only the lives of
hundreds of thousands of your countrymen
over the past two centuries have made it
possible for you to voice your dissent. Re­
member that only spoiled brats run and cry
when asked to do something they don t w ^ t
to do. Remember that you may not like the
alternative you have chosen, and ^ e n there
will be no turning back. Remember these
things, then make your decision.
If you don’t Uke what you see in ^ i s
country, stay and try to change it. Fulfill
your obligaUon, gain the respect of your
contemporaries so they will listen to your
argument. Show that y o u have enough faith in
your convictions ^ try to make them accept­
ed in the U.S. S h o w that you are willing to do
at least as much as your forefathers to
protect their freedom and give you yours.
L w that you are not '•unnlng scared.
There is only one way to do this, and
that is to serve and to serve now.
upbringing resulted in the proper man.
Conversely, a poor education and exposure
to bad institutions resulted in a bad man—
a man inclined toward crime.
Three main streams of criminology
spring from the Hobbes and Locke con­
cepts. The reader has already noted two
of these streams: First, man is biologically
conditioned for criminality; second, man is
socially conditioned for criminality. The
third school of criminology suggests “ that
crihie is the product of a psychic deficien­
cy or disorder." One can see that support­
ers of this third view on crime, the psychia­
tric view, might believe in either Hobbes
or Locke. One psychiatrist might beUeve
that the tendency of psychological problems
is primarily inherited; while another might
believe that such a tendency is largely
developed through social contacts. However,
the validity of one belief over the other
varies with the individual case. And such
speculation should be left to the psychia­
trists.
Nevertheless, the layman can still gen­
erally speculate on man’s psychology—
the psychology described by Freud. Nearly
everyone is almost TOO familiar with the
delicate, yet anxiously tense balance be­
tween “ id," “ ego" and “ superego.’’ Sim­
ilarly, everyone is well aware of Darwin’s
explanation of our descent from apes. How­
ever, Robert Ardrey in his “ African Gene­
s is" and “ Territorial Imperative" gives
the accepted evolutionary theories a brutal
twist. Ardrey claims that “ terrestrial,
flesh-eating, killer apes of Africa are the
antecedents of man and the probable authors
of man’s constant companion, the lethal
weapon." Also, Konrad Lorenz, author
of “ On Aggression," has demonstrated
that only rats and men—of all the ca r­
nivores—lack built-in inhibitions against
killing members of their own species.
Lorenz’s demonstration places mankind
in a very select group. The next time
one hears a mimicry of Cagney’s “ O.K.,
you dirty ra t," one might consider that
such a statement is behavioristic ally quite
valid.
But even as one neatly classifies man’s
various explanations for criminality, the
senseless, mysterious mass murders con­
tinue. The unsatisfactory application of
these theories is definitive proof that the
theories are inadequate. Man encounters
difficulty in applying his rational systems
to the unsystematizable and irrational. Two
statements from the PLAYBOY article help
explain the public’s dissatisfaction and
frustration with such enigmas. “ What
bothers people about the non-insane, un­
motivated murderer is that he simply
cannot be explained. His activities do not
yield to rational analyses.’’
Take the Weinstein case for example.
Man can hardly offer reasons for the man’s
actions. In fact, analyses of such crimes
are usually inadequate as John Martin’s
article points out:
“ Spectacular inexplicable crime simply
calls public attention to a fact that experts
S tu d e n t
must confront every day; We simply do not
know much about the roots of criminality.
Martin also recorded that detailed descrip­
tion of such crimes stimulated similar
crimes:
S e v e ra l r e c e n t m a s s m u r d e r e r s h a v e
s a i d th e y w e r e “ i n s p i r e d " to horror
by t h e p u b l ic i ty g i v e n a p r e v i o u s m a s s
m ur de re r. P s y c h i a t r i s t s know t h a t su c h
p u b l i c i t y c an n e v e r be more th a n a
tr ig g e r m e c h a n i s m r e l e a s i n g a h om i­
cidal drive already deep*set.
After recovering from the raw brutality
of the Weinstein case, I became somewhat
bewildered by the diverse public reactions
that I personally observed. These irrational
and inexplicable reactions seem nearly as
irratlonail and inexplicable as the crime it­
self. For example, while walking to classes
I passed the Penn Campus tobacco shop
about one week after the headlines publi­
cized the crime. Scotch-taped to the out­
side of the shop’s window was a 3x5 file
card. It read: “ We’ll do anything for pub­
licity." The very next day a new message
appeared in the very same spot, “ I’ll be
back in a few minutes." I trust that you
will recall that Weinstein disappeared for
nearly a week after the student’s body was
discovered.
Whoever fastened those messages on
that particular location completed a kind
of morbid coincidence; for, tlie tobacco
shop proprietor had adorned the same lo­
cation with that familiar photograph of
Dayan during the summer. You know, the
24x36 inch poster which highlighted the evil
stare and sinister rictus of Dayan’s pose.
The tobacco shop staff surrounded this
portrait with 3x5 cards of a consistent
message of Arab degradation and Israeli
glorification. A representative card phrased
the typical sarcasm as follows: “ Buy your
cigarettes here. Profits will go to the
Egyptian Relief Fund. They can use the
money." The Egyptian fiasco undoubtedly
gave many Jews—many nationalities, for
that matter—reason to reveh Their satis­
faction was probably suckled by their mem­
ory seat where recent personal humiliations
were stored. By humiliating Egyptians, the
“ begrudgers" could offset their own per­
sonal setbacks. Hitler expertly utilized tliis
basic psychological reaction to humiliation
in glorifying the Aryan race while degrad­
ing the Jews.
But the memory of the begrudgers at
the tobbaco shop was obviously so weak
that they failed to recognize their mild
mimicry of the greatest racist of all times.
However, such reciprocal humiliations be­
tween races appears to be the human way.
Public reaction
At any rate, it seems that public reac­
tions to ihe aforementioned crim es of bru­
tality follow a predictable course; first
phase: the crime generates feelings of gen­
uine sympathy for the victims and the vic­
tim s’ relatives. Moreoever, the crime gen­
erates feelings of genuine horror toward

Editor, Drexel Triangle:
I do not know if any students who are
privileged enough to have been awarded
a parking sticker realize this fact, but it
seems that if one is a day-school student
and has reason to be present at a meet­
ing or some other function at the Insti­
tute in the evening, one had better de­
cide on making a day of it. You see,
friends, the fifteen skins only allow you
to park during the daylight hours, re­
gardless of whether or not the lot is
empty at night. So if you are out of class
at noon and have a meeting at 8:00 p.m.,
don’t bother going home, because when
you get back there’s no room at the inn.
And if there’s a game at the Palestra
some night, you’re really out of- luck.
Then it costs a dollar to park, sticker
or not.

Activities Committee (SAC). All of this
is happening while the SAC budget remains
the same.
An increase in the SAC budget would
mean an increase in the General Insti­
tute Fee, which, in view of the $200 tui­
tion increase is obviously undesirable.
Therefore, it becomes apparent that the
SAC must be much more discerning in
distributing the $250,000 to student organi­
zations.
This is where the student opinion is
needed. The questionnaire will give a
more thorough explanation of the SAC,
an actual breakdown of allocations for
1967-68 and most important, it will ask
you how you would like the money allo­
cated for 1968-69.
To our knowledge, this is the first
time that every student will have a say
in how part of the tuition and fees is
spent.
Please give this program your sup­
port, as a successful response will give
you a greater voice in student affairs
at Drexel.

Editor, Drexel Triangle;
As a member of the AfroAmerican Society, I was affront­
ed by your careless reporting
(Triangle, Feb. 9) of ttie recent
lecture on Afro-American His­
tory.
The Triangle, by erroneously
headlining the lecture as having
been sponsored by an “ AfroAsian" Society, denied the AfroAmerican Society its hardearned acclaim. Furttiermore,
there is no Afro-Asian Society
at Drexel, a fact readily ascer­
tainable to The Triangle, if its
staff members had only taken
the time and effort to check.
Then, too. The Triangle, like
most of the white establishment,
is probably not familiar with the
term “ Afro-American.” Perh'aps this lack of knowledge was
the reason for your careless re ­
porting. If such be the case, then
The Triangle can claim ignorance
of a fact as an excuse. Of course,
that makes The Triangle a sec­
ond rate newspaper.
In any case, I wish to inform
The Triangle, and the general
public—especially those black
students who are yet unin­
formed—that black people in
America are now proudly identi­
fying themselves as Afro-Americans. The Nigra is dead!

the crime’s details. But this
phase is usually short-lived. Sec­
ond phase: The genuine horror
transforms into an almost in­
human scientific curiosity large­
ly because of the vivid des­
criptions in the newspapers. The
Beatles vocalized about such a
transformation and consequent
arousal in “ A Day in the Life”
from the Sgt. Pepper album.
You remember, “ Four thousand
holes in Blackburn Lancashire...
And though the holes were rather
small, They had to count them
all...” Third phase: The crime
stimulates sick jokes (as evi­
denced by my description of those
3x5 file cards). The creation of
these sick jokes seems to be a
defensive action. Such jokes seem
to divert people from facing the
horror of those crimes. However,
in the end, such jokes are near­
ly as inexplicable as the crimes
themselves.
But let’s scale down these
rather blatant irrational acts.
Let’s reduce irrational acts to.
ones which you or I inevitably
commit at some time during our
lives. These acts are usually of
very moderate consequence. We
remember them long after the
world has forgotten them, sole­
ly because our personal chagrin
prevents consolation and dismis­
sal from memory. However, the
attitude toward the irrational act
can often be more harmful than
the act itself. For example, my
friend, under the influence of too
much wine, removed the upper
part of a door in his apartment
with a karate kick. I inquired
about the hole and he quickly
explained that his “ id” tempor­
arily dominated his “ ego.”
irrational a c t i o n s
I mentioned previously that
publicity of horror might inspire
a mass murder. The pattern is
simple: the rational description
of the irrational act causing
another irrational act. However,
the explanation for the pattern
is hopelessly complicated. Simi­
larly, a familiarity of psycholog­
ical operation might facilitate the
performance of an irrational act
of lesser consequence such as
kicking in a door. Knowledge of
Freud and Darwin can sometimes
be conducive to the irrational
performance because suchaperformance can be “ intelligently”
excused with such knowledge. By
applying this therapeutic knowl­
edge to his affairs, rational man
can explain his irrational acts
with regulated reasonableness.

An attitude of permissiveness
develops • which can be un­
healthy—both to the Individual
man and to society. As long as
society suffers only moderate
consequences for man’s “ ex­
cusable” actions, then that so­
ciety remains secure. Society
intelligently recognizes the dark
forces at work within its mem­
bers. Therefore, little anxiety
exists because the dark forces
are supposedly understood.
D escribing irrationality
But are these forces real­
ly understood? Even when the
most modern comprehensive
definitions of truth (definitions
which acknowledge the mutabil­
ity of truth) are applied to these
forces, the forces remain un­
known. Indeed the important
question becomes: How is one
to contemplate and depict the am­
biguous and the irrational in
“ rational te rm s.” One must re ­
member that “ insanity,” “ crim ­
inality” and “ overdominant id”
are not conditions; instead, each
is only a word which “ describes”
condition. But the essential ques­
tion becomes: How do we de­
fine the “ rational term s?”
But usually people are not
forced to question the validity
of their beliefs and knowledge.
As Hermann Hesse indicated in
“ Steppe nwo If,”

P e o p l e l e a r n to ig n or e
In order to maintain this bal­
ance, people learn to ignore.
They grow callous. And events
occur which are hardly more
explicable than the mass mur­
ders. With such an attitude, those
apples with razor blades become
easier to swallow...as does
George Wallace’s growing popu­
larity as a Presidential candidate...as does President John­
son likening himself to Abra­
ham Lincoln. (Lincoln unques­
tionably was fighting for the pres­
ervation of the Union. Contrarily LBJ is fighting for the pres­
ervation of LBJ and HIS concep­
tion of freedom.)

r^ifor Drexel Triangle:
F o r months now military men,
pomlclTns and C ^ lto l Hill adS rtslra to rs have been anxious^ awaiting the day when the
actions in Vietnam sit down at
he negotiating table. Recent
N'orth Vietnam statements indi­
ratine a willingness to negoti­
ate have aroused the hopes of
people throughout the world. The
hones are centered around the
S th e -su rface feeling that this
negotiating table will resolve the
troubles in the F a r East. C er­
tainly it is possible the situation
ran be pursued to an amicable
sow on, but the probability
seems remote. For the facts
seem to indicate that no pleasant
palatable solution can be reach­
ed by negotiations.
Before going into the facts it
is interesting to observe that
the U.S. once before participated
in peace talks (during the Kor­
ean War at Panmounjom). Term i­
nation of the war resulted from
the talks but not until over half
of our fighting deaths occurred
during this period of talks.
What is theoretically good and
what is pragmatically realizable
has a far greater gap than cred­
ibility. President Johnson has
stated that the U.S. is willing to
go more than half-way to set­
tle the prolonged crisis. What
is half-way? To the people op­
posing us half-way can mean
a complete withdrawal. F o r us
withdrawal is almost whole.
The fate of this non-legislated
war seems to rest solely on a
one-sided concession on the part
of North Vietnam and the Na­
tional Liberation Front and that
concession is an admittance of
defeat. Defeat in the sense that
the opposition would withdraw
from South Vietnam and permit
the U.S. plans of pacification
to be maintained and further
implemented in the jurisdiction
of the Saigon Government. De­
feat and occupation was the re ­
sults of the Korean War which
enabled the building and devel­
opment of a stable foundation
for the people of South Korea.
How are the U.S. and the South
Vietnamese people going to de­
feat the opposition when people
in the know claim South Viet­
nam lacks the needed effort and
the Soviet Union’s support will
definitely continue. Recently
Chairman Kosygin has stated
“ The United States cannot de­
feat Vietnam. And we,^ for our
part, will do all we can so that
the U.S. does not defeat Viet­
nam." The recent use of tanks
and the spotting of Soviet bomb­
ers are some indications of the
Soviet Union’s support of North
Vietnam and Kosygin’s state­
ment. With military and finan­
cial support and the recent in-
o n
V ie tn a m
creased military action in South
Vietnam by the enemy how can
we expect to be victors. The
amount of troops and support
employed by the U.S. and South
Vietnam does not seem adequate
at this time for any complete
military victory. Along with this
our air raids and search-emout tactics, intending to wear
down the enemy are not work­
ing.
If we cannot defeat the en­
emy militarily, it will take ac­
tion on the enemy’s part to with­
draw from South Vietnam. Can
we really expect the opposition
to give up what they have been
pursuing for at least fifteen
years? I sincerely doubt any
enemy withdrawal unless they
are militarily forced to leave
which we and the South Viet­
namese cannot do with present
levels of effort.
What does this leave avail­
able for negotiation by the two
sides; Governor Romney’s pro­
posed zone of neutrality? Fine,
but this seems to be theoret­
ically good and unfeasible to
implement. The only possibil­
ity that North Vietnam and the
National Liberation Front might
agree to is a role in the gov­
ernment of South Vietnam by
the Viet Cong. Would the U.S.
be willing to permit Viet Congs
to run for elected offices? Pos­
sibly, providing the United States
would be allowed to maintain
troops in a police fashion. Would
the opposition agree to such a
solution. I do not know, but it
seems worthy of consideration.

one particular phrase—approp­
riate^ to thie movie’s effect and
appropriate to life in ttiese here
United States-stood out: “ ...the
worst of our unspoken dreads-th^at an irrational evil force can
r^ach out of the unknown fiarkness and wantonly destroy the
safe, ordinary life patterns in
wWch most of us find shelter
from thje absurd.”
But I can speak of a dread
worse than the one de.scribed in
LIFE. Consider what happens
when that irrational evil reaches
out NOT from the unknown dark­
ness but from a source which
should be rational--namely the
administration: Neither the mass
murders nor the administration's
recent actions seem to yield to
rational analyses. If people would
come out from their shelters,
thev might see this. But people
usually withdraw for one of two
reasons: first, either the Viet­
nam War and its complex impli­
cations are too frustrating, or
second, people delude themselves
into American self-righteous
complacency by swallowing the
administration’s rational explan­
ations for the war. Incase you’ve
forgotten, the U.S. is imposing its
will on the South Vietnamese in
order to preserve their freedom.
Moreover, the U.S. is supporting
a military dictatorship in order
to insure that the South Vietna­
mese enjoy a democratic system.
Senator Fulbright, with his Ton­
kin Bay investigation, is proving
that the administration guards its
monopoly on the truth, stamping
it for circulation only when
necessary.
Complex n a tu r e of Vietnam
I suppose that the confusing
complex nature of the Vietna­
mese conflict nullifies the pos­
sibility of rational analyses-even if the facts can be known.
Therefore, I turn to Conrad’s
Marlow in “ Lord Jim” as he
states: “ ...there shallbe no mes­
sage, unless such as each of us
can interpret for himself from
the language of facts that are
so often more enigmatic than
the craftiest arrangements of
words.”
The problem then, of how to
define rational terms, of how to
determine truth, becomes one of
a personal confrontation and in­
terpretation of the so-called
facts. All that I can suggest is
that people should not swallow
the crafty arrangement of
words--especially when those
words emanate from supposedly
rational sources, but rather
should take the harder route.
They should confront themselves
whenever possible with those
enigmatic facts—if the facts can
be known. Hopefully, the mean­
ingful truth will be derived from
a personal interpretation. Such
honest self-searching might
prove to be quite healthy to so­
ciet}'. At any rate, consider the
events of the past few weeks—
and my reactions to them and
then interpret for yourself.

...it’sworkingoutjust fine.”
Dick Klophaus gets real
satisfaction from the variety
and sophistication of
engineering needed to
develop, design, and nnanage
the processes required to
produce Merck products.
He and his Ch.L col­
leagues get equal satisfaction
from the knovi/ledge that
the end result of their work is
a better life for more people,
around the world.
For many engineers, it’s
an ideal combination. Add
mobility . . . real opportunity
for growth and promotion
. .. real opportunity to learn
and develop new techniques
. . . f^erck’s liberal policies
on benefits, graduate work,
and professional achieve­
ment . . . Merck’s outstand­
ing sales grovyth (122%
since 1957) and research
investment ($46 million
this year).
Add all these factors
together, and you’ll see why
Merck attracts some of
the finest engineering talents
in the country. And keeps
them.
How about you? Think
about the engineering variety
and sophistication required
to produce the complex
molecules used for pharma­
ceutical products. Think
about the good use these
products are put to.
Then see your Merck
Representative on campus.
Dick Klophaus, by the way,
now supervises production
of Vitamin C, Vitamin K,,
and various sulfa products.
His responsibilities, and
those of other young Ch.E.s,
are described in our new
booklet, Merck: an engineer's
company. You’ll not only
learn from this booklet—
you’ll actually enjoy reading
it. Pick up a copy at your

To my mind, the events of the

of dreads: “ that an irrational
force has reached out from what
should be a rational source and
affected a great many Ameri­

An Equal Opportunity Employer
issued an order to local draft
boards in the recent past, has
begun braying again. The nature
of his comments suggests that
the army should review its man­
datory retirement age. The read­
er will please recall that about
three months ago the National
Director of the Draft issued an
order to local draft boards com­
manding local directors to clas­
sify civil dissenters 1-A, as pun­
ishment for their public demon­
strations against the draft and
war. The General somehow con­
fused the legality of civil dissent
with the illegality of civil dis­
obedience.
The majority of Americans
felt better when General Hershey
was denounced for violating an
individual’s constitutional rights.
But the harm had already been
completed, because the feelings
of the National Director had been
publicized. The spirit of his order
was already conveyed throughout
the land, probably being assimi­
lated by the receptive minds of
local directors who might be
replicas of the General’s mold.
Because the local director’s
classifying power is so e.xtensive and variable, the spirit of
Hershey will imdoubtedly haunt
innocent Americans genuinely
concerned with the current path
of their country.
T h e s i t u a t i o n is d i f f e r e n t
However, Hershey’s latest
statements more clearly define
the General’s mentality: “ I do
not see why one needs a Ph.D.
in order to contribute to his coun­
try. Men like Edison never need­
ed one.” When General Hershey
participated in the American edu­
cation system, the occupational
requirements of the country
hardly even necessitated that a
man get a high school diploma.
Will someone please suggest to
the dozing Hershey that the 1968
technological situation of the
country is different today than
what it was in his day or Edi­
son’s day. Please tell him--to
use
an
overworked Dylan
phrase—that the .times have
changed.
However, the Director’s state­
ments only serve to point out a
familiar tactic of the older gen­
eration who insist upon compar­
ing past wars, particularly WWn
with the current conflict. The on­
ly valid comparison to be made
is this: The way of life which we
heretofore have experienced (if
we are conscious enough to
realize it) is being threatened.
Only this time, the threats are
internal and not ex ternal...
Will th ey l e a r n ?
I hear thousands of soldiers
sitting in the Northern Provinces
of Vietnam singing their favorite
song on the news: “ Where have
all the flowers gone?” And the
questions of this song seem to
be directed toward mankind
rather than toward the commu­
nists. Yes, when will THEY ever
learn? ... learn that war is stupid
and that war is Hell. And the Viet­
nam War is one of the most ig­
norant and unnecessary follies
of all time. W h e r e h a v e and where
will all the flowers go? How about
it, President Johnson? You can
do something. Or will the pleas
like silent raindrops fall and
simply echo in the wells of si­
lence? If you will not hear, then
I’ll offer a silent proposal: I'H
include you in my nightmares if
you will include me (and the
thousands more like me) in your

I do hope you can sleep with the
sounds of silence.

Hour with Gauthier

Division, and “ don’t think those fans weren’t down on that
team when they were in last place. You’d better believe
they let the players know they weren’t happy.”
We wondered if the players really pay much attention to
crowd reactions, particularly in a close game that requires
so much concentration on the action. “ Yes, the fans are
definitely a factor. It’s great to have them behind you, and
it bothers you a little when they boo. But the fans here are
learning the game, and they’ve been pretty good to us.”
Incidentally, Leon Rochefort, the team’s leading goal-scorer,
concurred with Gauthier on this point. (That night, the Fly­
ers were lustily booed in their 2-1 loss to Pittsburgh. It
seemed like spring training for the Phillies’ fans. We can’t
wait for the baseball season to start, so they’ll stay out of
the Spectrum.)
He noted that a team spirit has been engendered among
the Flyers with exceptional ease. “ I had never played with
most of these men before, even though Pd seen some of
them play. But we each wanted to show that we belonged in
the NHL. We had built up histories of being fifth men (thirdstring defensemen), and nobody wants to be known as a
fifth man.
“ But we’ve really done well. We’ve played some really
great games, especially against the established teams,”
the rearguard continued. “ Our best games were against them.
None of them has beaten us by more than three goals (only
Chicago and Montreal have done that), and even Montreal
respects us. They know they have to work hard to beat us.
The last time we were up there, they were ahead 4-1 with
eight minutes left. They had two rookies on the bench, but
they kept their veterans out there. That’s one hell of a com­
pliment.
“ What’s made the season more satisfying is that we’d
never played together before, and that we*ve had more than
our share of injuries. With all these close games, though,
I don’t know how come the coach doesn’t have an ulcer,”
The Stanley Cup playoffs start in a month, and the play­
ers are starting to think about them more seriously now.
The F lyers’ chances, if they reach the finals, look dim:
they’ll play a best four-out-of-seven series with an East­
ern Division team—probably Montreal. However, predict­
ed Gauthier, “ we’re going to be a hell of a hard club to beat
in the playoffs. Nobody, not even Montreal, is going to walk
away with the Cup. There won’t be any four-games-to-none
sweeps this year.’* Gauthier said he likes to play Montreal,
because “ I want to come back and haunt them.” If Leon
Rochefort feels the same way, the playoff finals could prove
very interesting.
Gauthier compared the F lyers’ future with that of the
Canadiens. “ We*ll be in first place for a few years to come,”
he claimed, “ and it’s priniarily because of our goaltending.
We have the two best goaltenders in the league, as far as
I’m concerned. The Gumper (Montreal’s Gump Worsley)
is only going to play for two or three more years. He’ll
be ABLE to play longer, but I don’t think he will.
“ And there’s no doubt that Pd pick Dougie (Favell, the
Flyers’ rookie goaler) over (Rogatien) Vachon (the younger
of the Habs’ netminders). If they (the Habs) are going to
have a weak point in a couple of years, it’ll be goaltending.”
We noted toe recent comment of Chicago Black Hawks’
coach Billy Reay that the Hawks have given up hopes of
catching the Canadiens for first place. “ They’re magnifi­
cent,” said Reay. “ They have players on their farm teams

February 21 was a heartbreaker for the team as they lost to

“ They have some great players coming up. Their whole

We asked Gauthier about hockey fights. He spoke of the
tactics used by the officials to separate the players in­
volved. “ The ref knows when they (the players) r e ^ y
want to go at it with each other. If he sees they both WArs i
a fight, he’ll generally let them go.” Usually, though, he

will be held'in Allentown at the
Muhlenberg College Field House.
The winners will play at 8 p.m.
on Saturday for the right to rep­
resent the division in the NCAA
Eastern Regionals.
The Drexel-Ursinus rematch
should be interesting since the
two played just last week at
Collegeville. The game was for
first place in the tight southern
division. The Morganmen began
the first half playing tough manto-man defense with Croft, Linderman and Risell scoring, Drex­
el taking an early lead.
Bob Croft, playing his second
brilliant game in a row was hit­
ting the cords with consistency.
Compton, high scorer for the
Bears and top man in the MAC
was held in check for the first
half. Linderman and Risell con­
trolled the boards as the Drag­
ons went into the locker room
with a haKtime lead of one point.

Drexel (3-6) lost its final meet
of the season Saturday to a very
strong La Salle team (8-2). La
Salle completely dominated the
meet and there were few bright
spots for the “ Jurichmen." Mike
Chain and Dick Tyson aced the
200

one-two finish. Mike’s time of

Millie Quammen was re-elected
president of the Middle Atlantic

Drexel’s overall team record
for the 1967 Fall Season was fifth
place among nineteen schools
which participated in 50 races
or more. Our “ won-lost” per­
centage was .647. Charles Hort­
