Council A nno unces Davidon, Loewy To Refuse
New Student Code
Payment of Income Taxes
The following is a restatement
of the Code of Student Responsibility. This revises the old phraseology in the vague statements regarding the concept of student
responsibility.
"The idea of individual student
responsibility for his actions on
the campus, expressed through the
Honor System a nd in other regulations, enables students to have
certain privileges that they would
otherwise not enjoy. With these
freedom s comes also a responsibility which students must exercise in their relations with others
in the College Community.
"students are expected to respect the property of the College,
as well as the rights and property
of other students. Actions which
are physically dangerous to
property or per sons on the campus
will not be tolerated. It is expected that most problems can be
resolved among the parties involved. Recourse to the Students'
Council or the College Administration should occur only when
the involved students have been unable to per sonally resolve their
problems.
"There are occasions when the
College or the Students' Council
finds it necessary to act in
cases of social misconduct. Each
such action i s an individual matter.
There are no s tandard pre-determined sanctions. Often a probation
is used which puts a student on
notice that, for a specific period of
time,
certain expectations of
performance or conduct must be
met and possibly that certain privileges have been withdrawn.
Consequences of any violation of
the terms of probation are also
defined and may range from further restrictions to actual dismissal from the College.
"Students should be aware that
disciplinary matters are the responsibility of the Students' Council operating jointly with the Dean
of Students.
"Academic matters a re the
province of the Dean of the College.
After a student has exhausted all
normal routes of academic appeal
(course professor, department
chairman, Academic Flexibility
Committee, Dean of thE College)
he may ask the President of the
Students' Association to confer
with the Dean about the matter.
However, the President can only
suggest action to the Dean; there is
no guarantee the suggestion will
be heeded."

Professors Ariel Loewy and
William Davidon are refusing to
pay their Federal Income Taxes
voluntarily as a protest against
the Vietnam war.
Their action is part of nationwide protest involving more than

or part of Federal Income Taxes
are Joan Baez, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, A.J. Muste, and Staughton Lynd.

Service has the power to get the
money by attaching the individual's paycheck, for example, or by
taking it from his bank accounts.
Loewy declared that his r efusal
to pay these taxes is less a matter
of a social conscience at work than
it is an effective form of social
action. "Ultimately, the government can't do something the people
don't want it to do," Loewy explained, "If more and morepeople
begin to work together on actions
of this sort, one has a leverage."
Loewy said that since the amount
he is withholding is "quite· a
large sum," te isconsideringgiving the money to a group such as
SNCC.
Prof. Davidon left earlier this
week on a peace mission to Tokyo
and Saigon and could not be reached for comment.
The statement issued by the
group declared:
"We believe that the ordinary
channels of protest have been exhausted and that the time has come
for Americans of conscience to
take more radical action in the
hope of averting nuclear war." The
statement also declared the intention of the signers to refuse topay
these taxes"aslongasu.s. Forces

International Law and the United
Nations Charter."
The statement concluded: "We
recognize the gravity of this step.

rather than to participate, by
voluntarily paying our taxes, in

quarters, and seldom has our

Theft Increase
Dean James Lyons has confirmed that
the number of thefts this year has shown
a marked increase. Normally the rate is
between one and two dozen a year. Lyons
s tated, '' The situation has reached the
point wher e we are concerned -- it's
not to be taken lightly."
The patterns for the thefts are simila r and students should consider following simple precautions.
With few exceptions every theft from
dorms has occurred in a room with an
unlocked door or window. Many stolen
articles were either in plain view or in
a logical place, s uch as a top drawer.
On several occasions youths of the area
who wer e brought on campus a s guests
of students have later committed thefts.
Visitor s to the campus from other colleges ar e not accustomed to unlocked
doors as a part of Haverford' s tr usting
attitude. In addition, in every theft the
fi r st suspects are tne conege employees. However, that these workers are
aware of this suspicion serves as a
deterr ent.
The NEWS r ecommends , therefore, that
Haverford students follow these simple
measures : valuables should be kept out
of sight, and extra precautions taken at
vacations. The College pr ovides a security
vault in the busines s office. Owners of
valuable possessions could r e cor d serial
numbers for possible later identification.
French Change
The F r ench department' s recent announcement to offer a special se ction of
French 13 should help to eliminate the
complaints of unfair policy in that depar tment. Now a student who take s and
fails the French pla cement te st, instead
of having hi s French career ended, maybe
allowed to enroll in the special section.
Then if he does satisfacto.ry work in this
section, he will be promoted to F rench
14. The NEWS commends the Fr e nch department for re-evaluating its position.
Coop Problems, I I
The office of residence halls maintains
that the Coop is r e maining open until
12:30. However, students going there in
recent weeks have noticed that the closing
time varies fr om 11:45 to 12: 15. If it
i s difficult to improve the quality of the
food or the service, as it would appe ar,
at least the Coop could r emain open to
accommodate those students inte rested
in buying Cokes.
Letters to the Editor
Left-Wing P.R.
To t he Editors :
During the fas t I had a chance to analyze the
gene ral opinions of the s tudent body here and found
out (contradictory to the opinions of those who share
my prejudices) that those who do not speak out
against the war in Vietnam are not essentially in
favor of it. In addition, it appear s that the cliquish,
obnoxious, and patr onizing behavior of a number of
people "on the left" (I do not exempt myself) has
been a major factor in antagonizing and alienating
inter ested s tudents , who, when one takes the trouble
to speak to them s eriously as per sons with something to say, are quite willing to consider s eriously
anti-adminis tration and anti-establishment views
on the war.
In addition, the habit of this " powerless elite (?)"
of branding as fascis t everyone who questions their
views has also not helped public relations for -the
end-the-war caus e. I find also that the contradiction
between the profess ed humanitarian ideals of this
clique and their de facto callous , insensitive, and
incons ider ate (not to mention dishonest) behavior
has render ed the few things they have publicly s aid
meaningless and totally unbelievable. With this
apology for the rotten P.R. job on the left, I urge
s erious people to take a car eful look into their
country, I'm quite confident that rei ips i soloquitor, and they will find that there are needs for
extensive changes in this country, as well as in its
neo- colonialis t foreign policy.

Is God Dead?
To the Editors:
Founders' Bulletin Board has become the place
where var ious bits of creative inspiration can be
e xhibited to the College Community. Many such
works are fine examples of opinion expr essed in the
Haverford tradition, and ar e enjoyed by al mos t
e ve r ybody.
However, I think that this cr eative inspiration has
gone too far when we are greeted on entering
F ounder s by the p r oclamation "God i s de ad! will
return tomorrow, Niettsche won't." While everybody is entitled to his own belief about whe ther or
not God is dead, it i s a basic lack of r espect for
those who have a rever ence for God to publicl y
e xhibit such mockery, and it is only adding insult
to injur y to endorse this sign with additional ' 'funny"
c omments .
The whole ques tion of " Is God Dead?" is fa r too
serious a one to be treated in such a show of poor
t aste .
Tim Well e-5"
Vietnam War
To t he Ed itors :
In your i s sue of March 11, William Henry Chamberlin wr ite s that in calling the Vietna m war unconstitutional, I ''overlook" the Resolution adopted
by Congres s , in August, 1964, authorizing the President to use his judgment in supporting our troops
there.
Of cour se this e x post fa cto action did not in any
way condone or jus tify the pr evious Executive indifference to that part of the Constitution which
gives the Congress alone power to de clare war . It
would be just as r ational to argue that the bestowal
of a Congres sional Medal of Honor , for heroism in
Vietnam, would of itself make the war cons titutional.
It becomes eve r more apparent that the whole
ghastl y far ce is blowing up in our faces . So it may
be hoped that the ultim ate r esponsibility will be
located whe re it belongs, which is certainl y not on
the American people and their repr esentatives in
Congress.
In the 1964 P r esidential election, one of the two
ma jor candidates did f rankl y go on record as
favo r ing aggr essive militar y action by the United
State s in Southeast Asia. I can scarcely believe
that !'vir. Chamberlin has for gotten the popular
verdict on that.
Fe li x Morl e y
Draft Exa ms
To the Editors:
As a result of the increasing draft ca.used by the
enlargement of the United States invol vement in
V1et Nam, it would be fitti ng for the College to
adopt a policy towa rd the giving of class s tanding to
the draft boards . I think that Council s hould consider
this question and make a recommendation to the
adminis tr ation.
One of the r eas ons which contr ibuted to the decision of the Selective Se rvice System to r einstate
optional national tes ts for selecti ve s e rvice was
to avoid the cri ticis m that a compa rison of class
s tanding a t schools of di\'ergent s tandards would not
be fair .
Providing clas s s tanding, to be used IN CONJUNCTION WITH the res ults of the national tes t,
will act to U1e disadvantage of many people in the
bottom percentiles of the most sel ective colleges
of which Haverford is one.
'
I do not necessar ily agree with a draft policy
that intentionally avoids taking the brightest (and
richest- - s ince many of the poor cannot afford the
cos t of a college education) per sons of draft age.
However , that is the present policy. That policy is
best ser ved by us ing the national test alone and
NOT IN CONJ UNCTION WITH the class standing.
Therefore, I wish to propos e that Council make
the following recommendation to the administration
about the dr aft:
1. That the school acquaint all students with the
national tes t given by the selective service
s ys tem.
2. That it s hould be s chool policy not to provide
draft boards with class s tanding.
3. That the s chool pr ovide class standing, upon
the reques t of any student who des ir es that it
be furnished to the draft board.
I hope that Council will consider this question
soon in open meetings and make a suggestion to the
administr ation.
Alan Raphael
Wage Policy
To the Edito rs:
If Jean McDowell (Lette r s, Mar ch 18) is cor rect
in saying that the difference between a students'
$2. 50 an hour and a r egular college employee's
$1.10 an hour for similar wor k in the dining room
r epr esents an intentional form of scholar ship aid
to the s tudent, I str ongl y object to the policy for two
diffe rent r easons . Fir st, I think it only just that
eve ryone working for the college, s tudent or not,
be paid a fair wage for whatever they do, be it $2.00
an hour in the kitchen ($2.00 an hour is organized
labor ' s desire minimum wage), $1.00 an hour for
night work with study privileges in the library, or
even $10.00 for advanced computer program ming.
Sinqe this is a college framework, it would be
perfectly proper for s tudents to be given pr efe r ence
for available jobs as part of the college's overall
program of fi nancial aid, but at a fair wage for each
job. Second,· since wages are taxable and scholars hips are not, it makes no sense to pay s omeone as
wages money you really intend as a s chola r s hip. If
handing over scholarship funds "carte blanche" is
s omehow bad (I don't see why), some scholar ships
could be made contingent. on being matched in s ome
r atio with money fr om work.

Physical Education
To the Editors:
It is ti me that both the students and the administration took a hard look at our out-of- s hape physical
education pr ogram. Haverfor d College is one ofthe
few remaining colleges in the nation which r equires
three full years of physical education. Swarthmore,
for example, r equi res two full year s and U. of P.
and mos t of the other Ivy League schools requi r e
only one. Tr ue, we have the Arts and Ser vices Program, but this is onl y s ugar-coated phys. ed. The
Haverfo rd s tudent has a three year phys ical commitment which he can fulfill only by enlisting in
Arts and Services or by being drafted into phys.
ed. This might be tol er able if phys. ed. actually
impr oved one' s physical condition, but the program
can never be compr ehensive or demanding enough.
to do this. It is time that this r equired r eces s be

To the Editors:
We protest the ar bitra ry, if not irr ational, selection of s enior collection speaker s . At a generally

THE HAVERFORD HEWS
Page l
Concert P erformance Praised;
Copland Piece Called Stunning
Anyone attending last Saturday's concert by the Bryn
\!awr-Haverford Orchestra probably ran a gamut of
;eactions. The musicians played, at times, with such
buoyant ensemble and astonishingly vibrant tone that
occasionally ragged entrances and s tum bling tempi were
cast into especiall y horrendous relief. Anyone ignoring
tbe traditionall y une xpected errors of the orchestra
enjoyed, with almost no other reservation, one of the
~~est and most imaginative student performances of the
rear.
· Under the direction of Professor Goss, Elizabeth
suderburg and Edmund Hazzard were the featured soloists,
and performed with the subtle ease that characterized
the orchestra at its best. Mrs. Suderburg, always a
welcome participant in concerts at Haverford, sang
ina Gordon Emerson ''Cantata for Soprano and Chamber
orchestra." This work, its text based on a short lyric
bv e. e. cummings, demanded fine sensitivity to pitch
~d a fluid sound; the soloist, whose diction was undistinguished, performed with warmth and responsiveness. The Orchestra played with exceptional clarity
of line in thi s piece, and credit is due to the proficiency
of Mr. Goss' technique on the podium.
Hazzard, who will be much missed next year, drew
the most enthusiastic applause of the evening with his
reading of the Mar cello concerto for oboe and strings.
The slow movement, with its almost improvisatory
spontaneity, left one undecided as to whether it is
Hazzard's lyrical tone or his e xtraordinaril y refined
taste that contributes more to his playing. He was
supported by the direction of Alex Blachly, and the
audience seemed to appreciate this student collaboration
throughout the work almost as much as the music itself. This performance will be repeated soon at Bryn
Mawr.
The full orchestra played Copland's "An Outdoor
Overture" as well as anything it has performed in the
past. Mr. Goss seemed to find the musicians fresh and
enthusiastic about the piece (which is hardly technically
demanding) and sailed out with a stunning sound. The
strings excelled here, in spite of some high passages
that lacked any integration with the rest of the music·
in general, the Copland came out solid, bright, and in on~
organic whole. Unfortunately, the Haydn Symphony 101
seldom approached this level, and suffered radically in
regard to intonation, especially in the first violins.
This work should have been easily within the scope of
the orchestra; however, Professor Goss brought few
exciting ideas about it to the podium, and rehearsals
were rather meager. The polish of the Copland was
missing, and one would have to search hard for the
reasons, certainly beyond a few obvious errors in timing;
I would venture that the orchestra hadn't excited itself
to the level of the performance that was expected. The
concert opened with an excellent selection from the
Planer Musiktag of Paul Hindemith, played with vigor
and appropriate volume by the orchestra's brass en<>emble.

Disappearance of Arch,?Deity
Unnoticed by Apathetic World
Editors' Note : T he following article, written by
Anthony Towne, appeare d in the February edition of
"Motive," a Method ist publication, Nashville,
Tennessee. It was rep ri n ted by the Hew York Times.
ATLANTA, GA. , Nov. 9- God, creatorofthe universe,
deity of the world's Jews, ultimate reality of
Christians , and mos t eminent of all divinities, died late
!esterday duri ng maj or s urgery undertaken to correct a
~ass i ve diminishing influence. His exact age is not
mown, but close fri ends estimate that it greatly exceeded
'.hat of all other extant beings .
The caus e of death could not be immediately determined,
but the deity' s s urgeon Thomas J. J. Altizer, 38, of
Emory University in Atlanta, indicated poss ible cardiac
insufficiency, Assisting Dr. Altzier in the unsuccessful
surgery were Dr. Paul van Buren of Temple University,
Philadelphia; Dr . William Hamil ton of Colgate- Rochester,
Rochester, N. Y., and Dr. Gabriel Vahanian of Syracuse
University, Syr acuse , N, Y,
Word of the death, long rumored, was officially disclosed to repo r ters at fi ve minu tes before midnight after
afull day of mounti ng anxie ty and the comings and goings
of ecclesias tical di gnitaries.
In Johnson Ci ty, Tex., President Johnson was described
~rinci ple
by aides as "profoundly upset." He at once directed that
all flags should be at half-staffuntil after the funeral. The
First Lady and the two Presidential daughters, Luci and
Lynda, were unders tood to have wept openly. Both houses
of Congress met in Washington at noon today and promptly adjourned after passing a joint resolution expressing
"grief and great respect for the departed spiritual leader." Senator Wayne Morse, Democrat of Oregon, objected
on the grounds that the resolution violated the principle
of separation of church and state, but he was overruled
by Vice President Hubert Humphrey, who remarked that
"this is not a time for partisan politics.''
Plans for the deity's funeral are incomplete, Reliable
sources suggested that extensive negotiations may be
necessary in order to select a church for the services
and an appropriate liturgy, Dr. Wilhelm Pauck, theologian
of Union Seminary in New York City, nroposed this
morning that it would be "fitting and seemly" to inter
the remains in the ultimate ground of all being. Funerals
for divinities, common in ancient times, have been exceedingly rare in recent centuries.
Public reaction in this country was perhaps summed
up by an elderly retired streetcar conductor in Passaic,
N, J., who said: "I never met him of course. Never even
saw him. But from what I heard I guess he was a real nice
Drawing by Geoffrey Kabat
fellow. Tops." From Independence, Mo., former President Harry s. Truman, who received the news in his
Kansas City barbershop, said: "I'm always sorry to hear
somebody is dead. It's a damn shame.'' In Gettysburg,
Pa., former President Dwight D. Eisenhower released
through a military aide the following statement: "Mrs.
Eisenhower joins me in heartfelt sympathy to the family
and many friends of the late God. He was, I always felt,
a force for moral good in the universe. Those of us who
were privileged to know him admired the probity of his
character, the breadth of his compassion, the depth of his
intellect, Generous almost to a fault, his many acts of
kindness to America will never be forgotten, It is a very
great loss indeed. He will be missed.''
Dr. Altizer, God's surgeon, in an exclusive interview
with The Times, stated this morning that the death was
"not unexpected.'' "He had been ailing for some time,"
Dr. Altizer said, ''and lived much longer than most of us
thought possible.'' He noted that the death of God, had in
fact, been prematurely announced in the last century by
the famed German surgeon, Nietzsche, Nietz sche, who was
insane the last 10 years of his life, may have confused
"certain symptoms of morbidity in the aged patient with
actual death, a mistake any busy surgeon will occasionally
make.'' Dr. Altzier suggested, "God was an excellent
patient, compliant, cheerful_, alert. Every comfort modera
science could provide was made available to him. He did
not suffer-- he just, as it were, slipped out of our grasp.''

Nowher so bisy a man as he there nas,
Yet ne'er semed bisier than in treuth he was.
In morning erly wolde he rise and go
Across the Square to Eastman Dillon Co.,
For ther to labour dide he sorely yern
Both dey and nyght, week in week out, to erne
AI that he coude. And whi? Noght for hymself,
To lyven in delit, gat he this pelf,
But for good causes in Penne's toun he werked,
Ne e vere good causes at his college shirked.
And alwey had he at his beddes hed
Gay banners in familier blak and red,
A worthy man, and wonder diligent;
To freends benygn, with fooles ay pacient.
Souning in moral vertu was his speche,
As Guakers don and as thei often preche.
From peynters, poets, lerned clerks he'd winne
Hire admiration at the Frankeleyn Inne,
He loved companye; they loved to sit
.And banter myrthefully with kindly wit.
Thogh sometymes, as they herd to hire dismay,
He went insted to Racquette or Mid-Day,
Or to-wardes Rittenhous he'd choose to rom,
To brounston club or, fayling that, went hoom.
This ilke man, by pleyne commission,
For alma mater begged thorough al the toun.
Of dollars did he tak an huge store,
And made folk help him for to find still moore,
That Haverforde and its librairie coude
Ful wisely mynister to public good,
This librairie a wonder was, a place
With chaumbres heigh and books in aile space-So filled with books that it was joye to see
The scolers at hir werk ther dey by dey.
But whan the shelves were heeped so heigh, alas,
That scalers, Mawrters, clerks coude scarsely pass
In room or halle, the warden wept for wo
And mourned that new books had nowher to go.
He wrung his handes, grew sad, ne coude he sleep
For fear that al these books he coude nat keep.
What man was there to bringe such wo to end?
What man except that nineteen-seven Freend?
He too loved books, he too hadde a concerne
Lest Fordes be bookless whan thei thirst to lerne.
Thei rede old tomes of much auctoritee,
Yet beg for new in Gummere-Morlee.
Therefore our ever-worthi Freend was fain
To summon Managers and wage campaign.
Larson he called, and many another wight,
To draw with cunning pencil dey and nyght.
To sondry Iandes he writ, with men he pledde,
And eke with wommen too, could thei be ledde
To reche for checke-boke or send him gold.
And whan they red his tale or herd it told
Hire hertes sank, since wel thei knew that hee
Wold have hire dollars er thei myght go free.
Yes,· pence or dollars, promises or pledges
Sholde gadred be to help the pore colleges
Al up and doun the land. But of this horde
The mooste part sholde come to Haverforde.
Or so him thoght; and I sey he was right.
What shal it profyt men with al hir myght
To swynken and to labour for moneyes,
To buy and sell, and lyve hire darksom deyes
In <;; haffering, if nat for scalers' good?
The bookless lad is fire withouten wood!
Than all rejoice, lat scolers all yive thanks,
That vaults for volumes will be big as banks,
That books and tractates, lerning all will be
Abundant in the Gret Societee.

LanJguage Departments
To llevise Program
Haverford language departments havB announced several
changes in courses and faculty
for next year.
Foremost among these changes
is the addition of a special section
of French 13. This new section
will be designed to accommodate
those students who do not pass the
French plaeement test given before the start of the first
semester, but whose performance,
according to Professor Marcel
Gutwirth, chairman of the Romance
Languages department, gives an
indication that they could benefit
by studying French beyond the
elementary level.
This section will have an intensive grammar review and will
use different texts from the regular
s ections. Students who successfully
pass this course will
be admitted! into a Fr ench 14
section in the s econd semeste r.
In othe r changes involving the
French department, it has been
announced that Professor Richard
Raskin of Howard University, who
is working for his Ph.D. at Johns
Hopkins University, will teach
Fre nch here next year.
Professor Bradford Cook, also
of the Freneh department, will be
on
sabbatical
leave spring
semester next year. His teaching
duties will probably be undertaken
by professors from Bryn Mawr.
Professor of Spanish Manuel
Asensio has revealed that in the
future the Haverford and Br yn
Mawr Spani s h departments will
work more closely together in
order to offer more courses and
avoid needless duplication of resources. Professor Asensio emphasized that this increased
cooperation will provide "more
opportunities and choice for s tudents of both college s. "
Examples of the changes to occur
next year are: Spanish 11, 12 will
offer one seetion at Haverford and
two at Bryn Mawr, all scheduled
at different hours . (Spanish 11,
12 will meet five hours weekly,
an increase of one hour.) Spanish
13, 14 will have one section meeting here and one at Bryn
Mawr, again at different hours.
There will be no Spanish 21, 22
offered at Haverford, but a student
will be able to take the equivalent
course at Bryn Mawr.
P rofessor As ens io will be on
sabbatical l eave the spring semes ter. Profess or Ja mes D.
Sorber, who is r etiring from the
'
Swarthmore College faculty this
year, will substitute for him at
that time.
Professor Richard Jayne, currently teaching at the University
of Wisconsin and working for his
P h.D. at Berkeley, will join the
Haverford German department
next fall. He will replace Professor
George Salamon, who is leaving to
take a position at Duke University.
The Classics department next
year will have two new members,
Professor Daniel J. Gillis and
Professor Edward M. Michael.
Gillis (Ph.D., Cornell Unive r s ity)
is presently teaching at Swa rthmore College; Michael (Ph,D.,
Univers ity of Michigan) is now at
Indiana University.
Classics profes sor William
Scott is leaving Haverford toteach
at Dartmouth College, while Instructor Steven Lattimore will become head of a rcheological s tudies
at the Intercollegiate Cente r for
Classical Studies in Rome, Italy.

Fords Beat Drexell0-6;
Urie Goes 7, Collects Win
by Jack Rakove
The varsity bas eball team
romped to a 10- 6 victory
over Drexel last Saturday to bring
its season record to two wins and
a Joss.
Earlier in the wee k the Fords
dropped a tough on~ to Ursinus,
losing 4-3 in the bottom of the

arm in that game and probably
will be lost for the season. In

Cricket Team
IDraws Cornell
!
I
The Haverford cricket team got
its season off to a good start by
drawing the Cornell University
Cricket Club last Saturday.
After Cornell had been retired
with 81 -runs, the Fords totalled
66 runs over seven wickets. At
this point darkness forced the
match to be called with the home
crlcketeers still at bat, consequently ending the match in a draw.
The big surprise for Haverford
was the fine bat play of s ophomore
Jon Burns, whose tea m-leading
production of 21 runs in a s uitably
lengthy hour at bat were instrumental in securing the dr aw. In the
words of coach Howar d Comfort,
"Sixty-five minutes at ba t for a
neophyte like Burns is rather
reputable."
Jim Mackinnon, lead batter for
the last two years, followed Burns
1 with 14 runs. Sophomores Bill
McNeil and artful AI Servetnick,
who is working his way into s hape
for soccer, each had eight. Catchouts were made by J oel Kuntz,
Bob Armstrong·, and Yo Aiz awa.
"The Cornell match r evealed a
few weaknesses," Coach Comfort
disclosed in a Sunday inte rview.
He listed bowling and spotty batting
as two. Comfort went on to add
that he hoped ''to bring the team
to concert pitch for Saturday' s
i' match against almighty Howard."

men baptized the visitors from
Eastern Baptist with a 6-3 win.
Starting pitcher Don Urie gave
up a first inning home run to
Drexel's Dorrian, but the Fords
took advantage of terrible pitching
by Drexel in the bottom of the first
to rack up five runs.
Laird Blackwell led off the
inning with a walk and took third
on Sturge Poorman's infield hit
and a throwing error. A neat double
steal saw Blackwell scoring and
Poorman at third after a throwing
error. Rick Smith walked and stole
second. Poorman came in on Urie's
infield out to give Haverford its
first lead. Danny Murphy walked
and took third on a Dave Felsen
s ingle
which scored Smith
Drexel's starter ' Grove (no re~
lation to Lefty) was relieved by
Logan, who celebrated his promotion to long man in the Bull
pen by throwing a wild pitch that
scored Murphy. Jim Ritter's infield out scored Felsen with the
Fords' fifth run.
Blackwell and Poorman came
across again in the second as
the Fords made use of a walk, a
wild pitch, a stolen base, an error
and
two
fielder's
choices .
Poorman, Smith, and Urie all
scored in the fourth as the Fords
rapped out five hits to prove that
they could score by other means
than Drexel mistakes.
Crafty Amos Chang came in to
pitch in the eighth inning as Urie
received credit for the win. Sturge
Poorman had the hottest bat, going
three for four.
Against Ursinus at Collegeville ·
Wednesday the Fords los t a genuine
heartbreaker. The Bears scored
in the second on two s ingles and
a passed ball. The Fords tied it
up in the top of the fourth as
Don Urie singled, took second on
a wild pitch, and came home on a
fielder's choice by F el s en.

Linksmen Drop Three;

SUffering from cold weather
a nd high s cores, the Haverford
golf team has a 1-3 r ecord after
i ts fi rst two meets of the season.
The bogeymen dropped thei r
firs t meet of the seas on to La
Salle 13- 5 and Wes t Ches ter 12-6
at the latter's home course, Chester Valley Country Cl ub. P laying on their home course at Merion Tuesday, the For ds handled
PMC 11-1/ 2 - 6- 1/ 2 but fell to
La Salle by a 10- 1/2 - 7- 1/2
score.
Scores ballooned on the cold
a nd rainy Merion cou rse in the
P MC- Delaware match Tuesday.
Num be r two playe r F r ank Engel
took some time off from wimping
math to lead the Fo rd s hooters
with an 80, good for 2-1/2 points
agains t the PMC Hawks. Team
captain Cl yde Lutton s hot an 81
playing at #3, while fr eshman Bob
Herron, the number one player,
shot an 87 and added two points
a gains t PMC.
Sixth ·man P.e te Loesche' s 87
added anothe r point and a half to
the Ford total, while #4 man Dick
McConaghy's 93 was good for

The Ford s hooting was not good
enough to impres s the out-of-
s tate vis itor s fr om Delaware. Haverfo rd's fi r s t four me n were able
to combine for only two of the
team's seven points. Loesche and
Eric Brown brought in the r est of
the Ford points .
Good s cores by Herron and Engel were nullified by poor shooting from the res t of the tea m in
the dual loss to LaSalle and West
Chester April 6. He rron's 75 and
Engel 's 76 on the par 69 Chester

of the eleven Ha verford points in

Ford Netmen Win
Opening Matches
The
vars ity
tennis team
s ur vived cold weather and tough
opposition to r ack up victories
ove r Moravian (10-1 last year)
a nd Dickinson (80-6 the last six
years) in its first matches of
the year.
The key to both victor ies was
t he fine play of Ste ve Grief, Dave
Delthony, and Tom Bretl at the
lower s ingles positions, and the.
number two doubles team of Bob
Swift and AI Aladjem.
The racketmen topped Dickinson by a 6- 3 score in last
Saturday' s home cour t match.
Straight set singles victories were
notched by Dough Meiklejohn at
#2, 7-5, 6-4; Steve Greif at #4,
6-3 , 6-2; and Dave Delthony at
#5 , 12-10, 6-3.
In the last singles match of
the day, #1 Ford ma n Bob Swift
pulled out a tight victory. After
splitting two rathe r dull sets 4- 6
and 7-5, he raced to a 4-1 adin
the third. His
v antage
Red Devil opponent came back
to trail by 5- 4 with Swift serving.
He had a double match point but
lost them both and shortly thereafter his service as well. The
set went on to the 14th game_
where Swift finally took the set
and the match on his own serve.
The Fords needed one victory
in doubles to clinch the meet
and got two. Swift and Aladjem
won at #2 6-3, 6-3, while Delthony
and Greif won 12-10, 6-3.
Against the Greyhounds from
Mor avian last Wednesday, Greif,
Delthony, and Bretl atoned for
the losses of Haverford's fir st
three players by sweeping the
bottom thr ee positions.
Going into the doubles, then,
the team score was tied at 3-all.
The number one team of Meiklejohn and Koteen split sets
with their opponents but lost the
third set as the Gre yhounds dominated the nets. The other
double s teams of Swift-Aladjem
and Greif-Delthony came through
with st raight set victories to give
Haverfor d a narrow 5- 4 win.

lieves that nothing good ever lasts,
that once the good has disappeared
-it will never return. Accordingly,
he is a cynic of the most uncompromising and corrosive kind. His
brother Edmund perceives no pattern to anything, or, at most, he
can see life only as a cosmic bad
joke. Yet, he had once experienced
a pantheistic kind of ecstasy, at
sea, and has sought at times to
recapture it.
The mother, Mary Tyrone, is the
determinist of the play: "He can't
help being what the past has made
him. Any more than your father
can. Or you. Or I." Her addiction
to narcotics looms like a shadow
over the entire family.
Casting is as follows: James
Tyrone -- Munson Hicks; Mary
Tyrone -- Margaret Edwards;
James Tyrone, Jr. -- Steve Bennett; Edmund Tyrone -- Chuck
Strang; Maid - - Jane Taylor. Profe ssor Robert Butman is director.

The dance choreographed by Liz

music from Carelli's Christmas
