Subversion or Opinion? Dr. Joseph B. Cavallaro, new chairman of the BHE,

went down to Washington recently to discuss communism on the campuses with the Jenner Committee. In defining his concept of academic freedom, Dr. Cavallero upheld the court decision which, in 1940, denied Bertrand Russell the right to teach mathematics at City College.

As Dr. Cavallaro knows, it was not any kind of a "com­munist" label which prevented Bertrand Russell from teach­ing here; it was rather a criticism of his ideas concerning "free love." The point is that Mr. Russell was not invited here to teach a course in "free love," nor was there any reason to believe that he would. Mr. Russell was to teach a class in mathematics, a course concerning the kind of figures you

•find in even the best of textbooks.

Dr. Cavallaro, in upholding the decision which barred Russell, one of the outstanding philosophers of the twentieth century, from the College campus, has blurred the picture of his present day activities. Is he on the look-out for sub­versives who present a decided menace to this nation, or is he merely against any individual who holds opinions which run contrary to his own? Bertrand Russell, the mathematics instructor, was certainly no menace.

Up to now, we have refrained from going on record one way or the other concerning Dr. Cavallaro and his newly formed special Committee to investigate subversion in the colleges. But if this is a hint as to the kind of "investiga­tions" Dr. Cavallaro intends to conduct, we don't like it. Barring a man because he is a subversive is one thing; deny­ing him the right to teach because his personal ideas on an extraneous subject do not agree with everyone else's is an irresponsible breach of academic freedom.

We hope Dr. Cavallaro and his committee will remain aware of this difference. Otherwise, the only way a man will be certain of obtaining a position on a College faculty is if he is a definite believer in the dogma of the blank mind.

Attendance Going Up In the first soccer game of the year only three people

showed up. Last week 107 students watched the Beavers open their Intercollegiate season. Although this is a great im­provement the players have expressed hope that the stands will be filled for the annual Brooklyn College game next Wed­nesday, The players are trying their best. Let's give them our support.

Beaver Trackmen verpower Upsala

By BERND LORCE

The City College cross-country team opened its season at Van Cortland Park on Saturday and defeated Upsala, 24-35. The Beavers captured first, second, 5th, 6th and 7th places in the four mile race out of^ — a field of 33.

Despite the easy victory, the team showed signs of needing much improvement. This fact is born out by the positions held by the "winning tr iumvirate ," O'Brien,

is, si urses i duri

Tom O'Brien Team Star

Armstrong: and Pavlides, who were second, seventh and ninth respec­tively.

Coach Harold A. Bruce was pleased with the performance of his men who have only been prac­ticing regularly for two weeks. He showed no surprise tha t Gene For­syth came in first despite the fact that he hadn't as much experience as any one of the triumvirate.

Veteran Star Views Soccer In America

One of the mildest mannered fellows on the City College Soc­cer team this season is Nigerian Exchange Student, Madegbuna Unobagha. Madegbuna, who is majoring in Civil Engineering, has performed capably for the Beaver hooters in the past three years.

Coach George "Red" Wolfe is depending -on Madegbuna to fill the gap left by the graduation of several star performers from last year's squad. Madegbuna, who was born in Ogidi, has had a varied career in sports. As a Freshman m CCNY he competed as a mem­ber of the track team and he entered competition as a high jumper.

According to Madegbuna, the American soccer game compared to the way soccer is played in Nigeria is much easier to play be- :

i r y j cause of the rules that apply to y 0 l substitutions. He feels players are ;

m better condition in Nigeria, due io the fact that thoy play the '

iih'H U;ii] £'ame because the teams over There are not allowed to substi­tute. :

Jn his opinion, the greatest i-ames that he has played for the '•-avers have been the two in-T«A-ing Brooklyn College. In 1951,

^ Beavers defeated Brooklyn 2-1 •cap tu re vhe Metropolitan Inter-•'iegiate ^Championship, and in

Ht.v2 the two squads played a ** ore less tie.

t- nobagha hopes to work as a •vil Engineer when he returns

t r his native land. He feels that ! he country is rapidly developing j

nent

I r ado

Gene, who has been training a good par t of the Summer, seemed to be the only one in top form.

O'Brien, placing second, finished very strongly and only lost the lead to Forsyth on steep Cemetery Hill. Armstrong 's stride looked awkward and he appeared winded crossing the finish line. The poor showing that Pavlides made can be at t r ibuted to the fact that this was his first cross-country race.

The team, which trains for and usually runs a five mile distance, reduced it to four miles a t the request of Upsala. Their team ap­peared to be out of condition and they were af a slight disadvantage, never havin- run before on the Van Cortland course.

Spofts Star

Tommy Holm is. co-captain of this season's City College soc­cer team. An Engineering stu­dent, he has participated on both the soccer and basketball teams. He led the hooters in scoring last season and was an All-Met se­lection. With the hoopsters he scored the record breaking nine­ty-sixth point against MIT last season.

films Classes (Grind) Watch Fein Features

By BRUNO WASSERTHEIL This semester it was back to the

old grind for Audio-Visual's film projectionists.

"Grind, grind, grind," ground the projectors. "Grind, grind, grind." Perhaps it is maddening to the un­initiated, but to Bill Fein '55, a Bio major, it is as a gurgl ing stream is to the rustic.

Fein had several good reasons for taking the post, the duties of which include showing movies to the classes in the Films Institute. "It 's a very interest ing job," he says, "and it pays a dollar an hour." (75c for beginners). Other dividends of the job wore enumer­

MEMBER The Associated Collegiate Press

Subversion or Opinion? Dr. Joseph B. Cavallaro, new chairman of the BHE,

went down to Washington recently to discuss communism on the campuses with the Jenner Committee. In defining his concept of academic freedom. Dr. Cavallero upheld the court decision which, in 1940, denied Bertrand Russell the r ight to teach mathematics at City College.

As Dr. Cavallaro knows, it was not any kind of a "com­munist" label which prevented Bertrand Russell from teach­ing here; it was rather a criticism of his ideas concerning "free love." The point is that Mr. Russell was not invited here to teach a course in "free love," nor was there any reason to believe that he would. Mr. Russell was to teach a class in mathematics, a course concerning the kind of figures you

•find in even the best of textbooks.

Dr. Cavallaro, in upholding the decision which barred Russell, one of the outstanding philosophers of the twentieth century, from the College campus, has blurred the picture of his present day activities. Is he on the look-out for sub­versives who present a decided menace to this nation, or is he merely against any individual who holds opinions which run contrary to his own? Bertrand Russell, the mathematics instructor, was certainly no menace.

Up to now, we have refrained from going on record one way or the other concerning Dr. Cavallaro and his newly formed special Committee to investigate subversion in the colleges. But if this is a hint as to the kind of "investiga­tions" Dr. Cavallaro intends to conduct, we don't like it. Barring a man because he is a subversive is one th ing; deny­ing him the right to teach because his personal ideas on an extraneous subject do not agree with everyone else's is an irresponsible breach of academic freedom.

We hope Dr. Cavallaro and his committee will remain aware of this difference. Otherwise, the only way a man will be certain of obtaining a position on a College faculty is if he is a definite believer in the dogma of the blank mind.

Attendance Going Up In the first soccer game of the year only three people

showed up. Last week 107 students watched the Beavers open their Intercollegiate season. Although this is a great im­provement the players have expressed hope that the stands will be filled for the annual Brooklyn College game next Wed­nesday, The players are trying their best. Let's give them our support. :

of subjects tha t he, as a Bio-major, would probably never have otherwise obtained; a realization of the effectiveness of the cinema as a medium of education, etc.

"Grind, grind." An unexpected profit from his

post is a more intimate knowledge of New York gained while acting as films messenger. Bringing or returning films, his sojourns through our labrynth city fa­miliarized him to little known sec­tions of the metropolis. The inner sanctum of manv a museum now

#•

opens to admit him. As there is no dearth of diver­

sity outside the projection room, so is variety a feature within it. The films showrv embrace many subjects: engineering, hygiene, ed­ucation and old classics. These latter are for the benefit of Prof. Hans Richter's Films Insti tute classes.

The whole setup seems to be too perfect. Mr. Fein was a s k e d , "Isn't there anything about the job that you dis l ike?" "Xo." said Fein.

Meet the Candidates IV—Clifford T. McAvoy

In an exclusive interview with the Observation Post, Clifford McAvoy, American Labor Pa r ty mayoralty candidate, called for creased appropriations for the college. In addition, McAvoy declat his support far City financing of s tudent activities and sports a t the metropolitan colleges.

The ALP aspirant declared t ha t peace would be an important issue in the campaign. "While it is t rue that the Mayor cannot do any­thing about the international situ­ation, I think that it is evident tha t if we are to spend money on military preparat ions we can't spend as much on schools, hospi­tals, and other essential services," he said.

On the issue of the investigation of subversives, McAvoy gave a big "no" to answer the ciuestion of whether he approved of or would continue the activities of the Cav­allero Committee. "The duty of the Board of Higher Education is to defend academic freedom re­gardless of public opinion," he em­phasized.

McAvoy also stated his opposi­tion to keeping what he termed "anti-semit ic" instructors on the faculty. "I was a member of the Romance Languages Department a t City College and saw Anti-Semi­tism being practiced there ," he said.

Although he opposes the tax now

His basic plan to finance City im­provements is to increase the assessment of wealthy real estate owners. He claimed that - the as­sessment of several depar tment stores is about the same as it was during the depression.

McAvoy said that he was in fa­vor of the repeal of the Transi t Authority and a rollback of the fare. He said that he is in favor of the five cent fare, but couldn't see a practical means of a t ta ining it in the near future.

He also seconded the proposal to close Convent Avenue between 138-140th Streets.

Beaver Trackmen verpower Upsala

By BERND LORCE

The City College cross-country team opened its season at Van Cortland Park on Saturday and defeated Upsala, 24-35. The Beavers captured first, second, 5th, 6th and 7th places in the four mile race out of<^—— a field of 33.

Despite the easy victory, the team showed signs of needing much improvement. This fact is born out by the positions held by the "winning tr iumvirate ," O'Brien,

Gene, who has been t ra ining a good par t of the Summer, seemed to be the only one in top form.

O'Brien, placing second, finished very strongly and only lost the lead to Forsyth on steep Cemetery Hill. Armstrong 's stride looked awkward and he appeared winded crossing the finish line. The poor showing that Pavlides made can be attr ibuted to the fact that this was his first cross-country race.

The team, which trains for and usually runs a five mile distance, reduced it to four miles a t the

| request of Upsala. Their team ap­peared to be out of condition and they were at a slight disadvantage, never havinu run before on the Van Cortland course.

Coach Harold A. Bruce was pleased with the performance of his men who have only been prac­ticing regularly for two weeks. He showed no surprise tha t Gene For­syth came in first despite the fact that he hadn't as much experience as any one of the t r iumvirate .

Veteran Star Views Soccer In America

One of the mildest mannered fellows on the City College Soc­cer team this season is Nigerian Exchange Student, Madegbuna Unobagha. Madegbuna, who is majoring in Civil Engineering, has performed capably for the Beaver I hooters in the past three years, j

Coach George "Red" Wolfe is depending^ on Madegbuna to fill the gap left by the graduation of several s tar performers from last j year's squad. Madegbuna, who was ! born in Ogidi, has had a varied ' areer in sports . As a Freshman j

in CCXY he competed as a mem- I hr-r of the track team and he ; entered competition as a high j jumper. '

According to Madegbuna, the ; American soccer game compared [ to the way soccer is played in : Xieeria is much easier to play be- ; cause of the rules that apply to Mihstitutions. He feels players are r- better condition in Nigeria, due " the fact tha t they play the iil game because the teams over

f<f-re are not allowed to substi-:te.

Ir. his opinion, the greates t iii'iies that he has played for the •avers have been the two in-

r ' ' iving Brooklyn College. In 1051. > Beavers defeated Brooklyn 2-1 '"' capture the Metropolitan Inter-"iiegiate -Championship, and in :'-V2 the two squads played a 'froless tie.

Unobagha hopes to work a s a •vil Engineer when he returns

t f his native land. He feels tha t l^e country is rapidly developing ', and the steed for engineers is ;

shows college students prefer Luckies

Last year a survey was made in leading colleges

throughout the country which showed that smokers in

those colleges preferred Luckies to any other cigarette.

This year another nation-wide survey was made—a

coast to coast. Based on thousands of actual student in­

terviews—this survey shows that, as last year, Luckies

lead again—lead over all other brands, regular or king-

size— and by a wide margin! The reason: Luckies taste

better.

By JOE MARCUS

Sparked by Johnny Koutsantanou and Gus Naclerio, who scored three and two goals, respectively, the City Col­lege Soccer team opened its season by defeating a strong JJrandeis squad, 6.2 last Sa turday." The Beaver Booters will open their I I e t r o p o 1 i t a n Intercollegiate League . . schedule this Saturday when they face a powerful Kings Point team.

The 7-.avender Kickers dominated the play throughout the first peri­od due to superior team work and passing, but were unable to score

until seventeen nl i n u t e s had elapsed due to the great goal-tending of Dave Weisgal. With nve minutes gone by, Koutsantanou Bent, a bullet-like shot a t the cage,

and passed to Koutsantanou who sent the ball into the upper r ight hand corner.

The Beaver attack continued to press the Brandeis goal and at the 21:19 mark John Koutsantanou passed to Eikstrems who headed the ball into the net. This was the first goal of his varsity career for Alvis. With a half minute left in the quar te r the Brandeis team cut the lead to one goal as Pelham Douglos faked Hal Friedland out of the nets and tallied on a hard shot.

Good Defense

The fine City defense of Uno­bagha, Anyaegbunam, Bob Hayum, Lucien Daouphars and Ed Trunk stymied the Brandeis attack while the Beavers were scoring twice more in the second period to take a halftime lead of three goals. After eight minutes of the second period had elapsed Gus Naclerio scored on a long shot from his out­side left position. The ball evaded the outstretched hands of goal-tender Weisgal.

Harvey Fields booted in a loose ball in front of the Beaver cagd to cut the City lead to 4-2. Halfway through the third stanza Naclerio took a pass from Tommy Holm and tallied as Brandeis goalie Weisgal left, the net wide open.

Fencing Team Starts Practice

"They are weak and they will need a great deal of practice to come" up to the pa r of several teams on our schedule", stated Head Fencing Coach Ed Lucia as he watched his team begin practicing last week. Mr. :Lucia added tha t he expects them to hit their peak by the middle of the campaign.

The Beavers a re expected to be stronger this year than las t , . be­cause of the r e tu rn of eight vet­erans. The" foil division will be represented by Aubrey Seeman, Jonas Weiss and Borys Patchow-sky, all of whom saw action last year and should be great ly im­proved this season. The sabre squad may be the s trongest a r r a y on the team. Dick Susco and Len­ny Sugin are counted on by Coach Lucia to be t he leading meii in their class. The third man will be Algis Ratkeleis.

In the epee division the BeaVers are strengthened by the re turn of three veterans from last year ' s team. Harvy Miller is expected to be the high point ge t ter for the Lavender Lancers along with -Lar­ry Lazovick and Ancile Maiden.

Booters'Defensi By JERRY STREAR

Despite the glaring weakness of being shorthanded as far as beiu s t rength is concerned, the City College soccer team is still regard) _ as the most powerful in the Metropolitan Conference. The prime reas< 1 *~ „ ^ u : „ : » i. 1 4. : i . . - I A >' • for this is tha t its core is m a d e ^ up of experienced players who have proven themselves against league competition in the past .

Among these veterans is co-cap­tain Lucien Daouphars. A product of France, Lucien is a firm be­liever in physical fitness. "We on the soccer team," he stated, "can all use a little body conditioning. In fact, everyone can. We'll always have a chance to kick the ball around once we are out in the stadium, but some added physical conditioning wouldn't hur t any of us. It gives you that extra some­thing when you need it. Tha t add­ed push can be a g rea t help in rough situations."

Daouphars predicted tha t "if the

team keeps building up the way . squad. They'll have to fill tho it has so far, we should have an undefeated season." Kings Point, who the booters meet on Satur­day, is his choice for the Beavers ' top opposition. "They're good. Wha t makes it all the more hard­er for us to stop them are those grounds. It will be a very rough game."

Scanning the rest of the sched­ule, he said tha t "Brooklyn Col­lege doesn't f igure to have a good team because they lost s ix men from last season's championship

spots and it won't be easy. T other teams won't be too toug except Lafayette and Stevens w can put up a pret ty good g a r A c e We should have a very go ant year ."
