The UPSG Assembly last night defeated by a 16-15 vote a proposal allowing junior women to live in non-University housing.

The proposal was intended to serve as a "test case" for con- stitutionality of the implementa- tion of social regulations by the Government, according to New University Party leader Tom Knox.

Vietnam Report

Life in Saigon-A City of Nervous Uncertainty Editor's Note: This is another

article in a series by the Collegi- ate Press Service's correspondent in South East Asia, Howard Moffet, former editor of The Yale Daily News.)

SAIGON (CPS)—More than any- thing, Saigon is a tentative, un- certain city, a city on the defensive against force—against the military, against the Americans, and against the Viet Cong. If there is a univer- sal mood here, it is the urge to protect and cling to what little cul- ture and happiness and peace can be salvaged from the war, from well-meaning but rough and free- spending American troops, and from infiltrating terrorists.

The faces of the people tell you nothing. Little children are often quick to smile and say, "Hello, O.K." Older people seldom either smile or scowl and ten-agers and young adults sometimes seem as impressive or inscrutable as their parents.

A visitor would guess that, ex- cept for those who are making a living off them, Vietnamese in Sai- gon do not particularly care for Americans but are waiting to see if they are going to win. One senses that this is still an open question, and that no one is in a hurry to predict the answer.

No city can completely normalize war. Tempers grow short, psycho- logical tensions mount, and there is no place to go. A quiet drive in the country would be impossible even if you had a car.

You notice that the American of- ficial getting out of his sedan with gold bag in hand, goes into a hotel whose entrance is sand-bagged and guarded by a GI, like any other of the scores of American military billets in Saigon.

You notice the barbed wire sur- rounding the headquarters of the Military Directory at Gia Long

Palace and the Prime Minister's office on Thong Nhut.

You read every once in a while of a taxi driver wounded by a GI sentry, alert for terrorists, who shot too quickly when the taxi broke down in front of his billet.

You notice an American car dis- appearing into the big USAID No. 1 compound on Le Van Duyet Street. A Vietnamese guard has just walked around it with what looks like a snow shovel. On closer examination, it is a mirror, used

to check for mines which might be attached to the underside of the car.

Between 12 and 4 in the morning, the streets are quiet except for an occasional convoy rumbling through the city on its way to a battlefield.

Night in Saigon belongs to the police. During curfew, they move through eac hof the city's lien gia's (neighborhoods of ten to fif- teen families presided over by a head man responsible to the offici- als), and make spot checks at dif-

ferent homes, called "family roll calls," to discover infiltrators.

On the outskirts of the city, orange flares drift slowly down over forest and paddy as armed helicop- ters hover over firefights between infiltrating guerillas and govern- ment troops defending the capital's security belt. Jets roar past over- head.

And in the distance, there is the dull boom of mortars lobbing shells into supposed Viet Cong positions beynd the city's defense perimeter.

National Emergency? Without questioning the wisdom of the content of

President Johnson's planned executive orders revamping the draft law, it nevertheless seems important that we question his methods.

If, as we have been assured, no state of national emerg- ency now endangers the peace and security of the United States, why, then, has the President deemed it necessary to adopt emergency, if not wartime measures and to employ methods which virtually cry "government by decree?"

Although the Selective Service law provides the Presi- dent with inordinately broad powers, Congress has never required that he exercise them. In fact, it has always been customary for the President to delegate to Congress the task of creating the administrative framework of the system.

For some reason, unknown to the rest of us, Lyndon Johnson has decided that revising the Selective Service Sys- tem cannot wait until its legal July 1 expiration date. For some reason, creating a system capable of producing fighting men more efficiently has suddenly become of primary im- portance.

Such urgency—in light of the alternative means whereby the President might adopt the suggestions of the Advisory Council on the Selective Service and in light of the abuse to which the President has heretofore put the exercise of emergency power—is alarming.

In this case the President has not declared a national emergency. He has, however, behaved as if one exists. It is this behavior that alarms. What else has the President in mind? What other executive decrees? Will he consult anyone before he sends in the rest of our forces?

Draft Fairness The concept of fairness and equality that underlies

President Johnson's recommendations of change in the Selective Service system is a high and noble one that no doubt reflects the democratic principles which the United States have always strived to attain.

But just as inequalities in the draft system have arisen because of demographic reasons, so have inequalities emerged as far as education, and its importance to the individual stu- dent and his country, is concerned.

Education has become an increasingly vital part of the national arsenal in the technological battle between the super- powers of the world. As such an instrument of power, it should be granted its due position vis-a-vis draft deferment policy.

It is a harsh fact that some men must donate their lives to a cause in an ambiguous and frustrating war, but it is also undeniably wasteful to send a 19-vear-old student to this war when the seeds of his and his country's investment in him, have just begun to sprout.

Editor The Daily Pennsylvanian Philadelphia, Penna. Dear Sir:

I enrolled as a transfer student in the Wharton School this past fall. One thing has disturbed me about the curriculum of Wharton and the rest of the university as well. This is the number of courses that a student is required to take each term.

The college I attended last year, had a three term academic year and during each term the student en- rolled in three subjects. I believe by such a plan the student has a much better opportunity to become involved in the courses he takes. The number of class meetings a week for each' subject was up to the instructor; thus, more time could be allowed for outside re- search by the student if the teacher felt it would be beneficial.

I believe under the present plan at Penn, the time required for five subjects a term provents most stu- dents from actually taking a real interest in and enjoying their courses. They are forced, if just by the amount of time and work re- quired of them, to go after the highest possible grade with the least amount of work possible.

I have discussed this situation with other transfer students from colleges who require a smaller num- ber of course uniits for graduation than Penn and they tend to agree with me that the size of the course load, especially Wharton's which requires the student to take six courses.for two semesters, discour- ages any real academic interest the student might have in his subjects.

I realize that five courses is the normal load at several other col- leges but I believe here is a grow- ing tendency on the part of the more progressive universities in this country to reduce the course load. I do not feel that the three term system, (which I believe Penn at one time was considering adopting) is the only asolution to this prob- lem. Remaining on the semester plan and requiring only four courses a semester would be a large step in the right direction. This will I admit, limit the number of courses the student will have the opportunity to take, but I feel the time spent taking one course in which you really become involved is worth more than taking two courses in which you have done just the work that was necessary.

HALF A REVIEW? Editor, The Daily Pennsylvanian:

After reading the review of "Half a Sixpence" in todays' "Daily Pennsylvanian," I decided to write my first "Letter to the Editor."

I have never read such a ridicu- lous review and I would certainly suggest that a reviewer who likes musicals even the least little bit would be a more apt reviewer of musicals than your Randy Swartz (who doesn't even have a remote idea of what a musical is sup- posed to be or do).

Thank you. Robert A Brennan Assistant Director University Placement Service

PHILLY'S PHINEST (AGAIN)

Cops of the World Marvin Israelow

West Philadelphia cops don't really hate students; we just serve as phsyical outlets for supressed psychological aggressions induced by social environment that places the man with a club in a position inferior to the boy with a book.

Of course, the policeman who related this socio-psychological di- lema did so in less sophisticated terms. His words, following an- other spisode in the continuing cops and students series, were: "I was just letting off a litUe steam. We bin taking from youse guys too long. It's time we started crackin down."

You can't really blame the po- liceman for pushing this student around, intimidating him, search- ing him, intimidating him some more, and calling three other po- lice cars and a paddywagon to take the criminal to a station, because this societal menace committed aheinous crime. Or so it seemed from the actions of the cop.

But searching for a lost dog isn't usually against the law. As a matter of fact, I'm still not sure what the crime was.

Obnoxious Student Our police friend was driving

along Spruce Street when this obnoxious student, anxious to know whether the public servant had seen his dog, tried to get the officer's attention. Unsuccessful at first, the deceitful fellow whistled as the car passed.

Pulling his car to a sharp stop, the policeman jumped out in a

frenzied rage and grabbed the cal- culating, spiteful punk by his lapels screaming unintelligibly (most of the intelligible com- ments are unprintable) all the while. The snotty kid tried twice to explain why he had whistled which further enraged the dutiful policeman.

Our understanding law enforcer then shoved the rebellious youth to his car and, just like in the movies, made the student keep his palms on the car trunk while he called fellow peace portectors to the scene of the crime, or better, the scene of the whistle.

Sneaky Student It was raining and after a while

the sneaky student lifted his bare hands from the wet trunk, at- tempting to place them in his once frisked coat pockets. Re- sponding immeidately, the always observant justice pursuer quickly grabbed the kid's hand and forced them back to the trunk, just make sure the punk didn't pull any fast ones.

The crowd that had gathered now sneered at the criminal, feel- ing slightly reassured by the po- liceman's clutch speed combined with cooly rational confidence, poise and objectivity.

After a few final tense moments the paddywagon arrived. The ma- licinous law breaker was escorted away and once again the public relaxed. But for the policeman . . . well, just another case in- volving a punk-brat-spoiled stu- dent; and another case well handled:

For the Key to Success:

The Wharton Finishing School By SUE LIN CHONG

Dear Wharton Graduate of the Future:

Will they laugh when you sit down at the conference table? Will the office boys make fun of your thr^e-piece suit behind your back? Will the maitre d' of The Colony Club always look the oth er way when you and your clients walk through the door? Let's face it, men, is there something stand- ing between you and the big boys on Wall Street?

Contrary to the deep-down Die- trich complexes and anxieties held by all Wharton men, it is not the

Psych Building (Continued From Page 1)

"The problem is not that the sys- tem isn't working, it's just that there just isn't enough of it. The air-conditioning and ventilating systems are just insufficient for the building."

Completed in 1965 The total project-was completed

in November, 1965, but because of the ventilating problems only 25 per cent of the Psychology Build- ing is currently occupied.

The University accepted the so- cial sciences complex (of which the Psychology Building cost a third) on April 7, 1966, with the provision that the faults in the air-condition- ing would be fixed before the final acceptance.

The General State Authority al- located the funds February 21, after Governor Raymond P. Shafer and other members of the Board sharp- ly criticized the construction prob- lem.

Robert Kunzig, executive director of the Authority, stated that, "Not only is the Authority proceeding as expeditiously as possible with the corrective changes required to make this building a useful facility for the University, but we have also instituted steps to determine responsibility for the inadequacy of the original ventilation and air con- ditioning system installed during the construction of the building."

CONCERT The University's Orchestra and

Choral Society will perform works of Bach, Haydn and Bruckner on Friday at 8:30 p.m. in the Univer- sity Museum Auditorium.

The free concert, part of the Uni- versity Concert Series sponsored by the Pennsylvania department of music, will open with the Suite in B minor of J. S. Bach, conducted by William Martin with Ellen Fin- kelstein as flute soloist. A chamber group will then perform the Haydn Divertimento No. 1, from the Cho- rale St. Antoni.

The featured work, Bruckner's Mass in E minor, will be perform- ed by the Choral Society and the Orchestra under the direction of Melvin Strauss, associate professor of music at the University.

to the Assembly. He added, "I don't need this bill to prompt me to speak."

The Assembly also voted over- whelmingly to consult with The Daily Pennsylvanian concerning what Assemblyman Max Case called "a lack of objective cover- age of Government functions." If negotiations between UPSG and the newspaper are unsuccessful, this legislation provides that the dispute be submitted to the Com- mittee on Undergraduate Publica- tions for further action.

boy wizard in Collective Bargain- ing or Consumer Credit that is the success in life. Alas and alack, men, throw down your Economic Philosophies and take the road to capitalistic salvation: enroll now in the six-week Joseph Wharton Fin- ishing School.

This discreet program is essen- tial for the young man with his eye on the executive positions in Big Business. During the intensive six-week program, the Wharton man will be thoroughly purged of ali middle-class idiosyncrasies, groomed, counseled, and indoctrin- ated with the latest tactics in Madison ave. dishes.

Country Club Classes Classes will be held from nine

to five on the New York-New Haven-Hartford run, daily except week-ends. Saturday classes will meet at the Westchester Country Club. One simple fee includes all commidities used; payments may be lend-lease or ninety-day revolv- ing charge.

The initial course in the Whar- ton program is a two-week labora- tory period of Good Grooming. The evolution and history of the zoot suit to present-day fashions will be discussed and interpreted, with special emphasis on the three- piece suit movement. (Students are expected to take to hear he motto of Joseph Wharton: Wharonium est omnis divisa in tres partes.)

Seminars such as "The Natural

Shoulder Trend," "Whatever Hap- pened to Wing-Tipped Shoes," and "The Brooks Brothers vs. Beau Brummell" may be elected. Super- ior students are invited to parti- cipate in a three-day grooming field trip. The American or British plan is offered this year, wiith visits to either Cye-Harold's or Saville Row.

The intermediate stage of the program will be devoted to the fine art of wooing and winning prospective clients. (Special therapy will be offered to Wharton men unable to tear themselves away from the Macke vending machines in Dietrich Hall. God knows they can't eat there forever.) Group excursions will betaken to Le Pa- vilion, Club 21, and Nat's Hot Dog Stand in Coney Island.

A staff member of the Berlitz school will be available for special instruction in ordering entrees in 31 languages. Milk and vanilla cookies will be provided for Whar- ton graduates nursing premature ulcers. Final grades in this course will be based on number of amal- gamations and mergers accom- plished during the course of a one-hour luncheon.

All future Wharton graduates are encouraged to enroll in the Joseph Wharton Finishing School. The status and savoir faire re- ceived in this course are beyond mere words: you have nothing to lose but your Dun & Bradstreet.

Players To Present "Mikado"

The Mikado comes to Penn: left to right, Judith Berkowitz, Josephine Davidow, Kathryn Weyland as the three little maids; Cliff Athorn as Pish-Tush; Michael Mass as The Mikado, and Innes McDade as Katisha.

In the grand finale of their thirtieth season, the Penn Players March 10 and 11 will take on two brutes, The Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan and the Irvine Auditorium stage. This double-task is being engineered by one entirely capable and inventive Bruce Montgomery, under whose direction preparation is running very well.

The performance this weekend is special for a number of reason. It is the first time that the not un- ambitious players have attempted a "G and S" extravaganza.

It seems that the Players have a pretty full tank of talent from which to draw. To avoid the risk of putting the cart before the horse, suffice it to say that Nanki- Poo, Ko-Ko, Pooh-Bah, Yumm- Yumm and the High Lord Himself,

Grand Mikado, will be treated fair- ly and squarely.

More importantly, however, if the play shines, and there is a glim- mering, the reason wiH be Bruce Montgomery. As the director of Philadelphia's Gilbert and Sullivan Players and the son of James Mont- gomery, (who founded the Players and was, without a doubt, a keen perceptor of the genius that flows through the works of Gilbert and Sullivan) Bruce has known the in- tricasies, the marvels of the Mi- kado. His guidance is professional.

If the correlation between hard work and ultimate success has anything to do with the material (talent) that one starts with, then, without a doubt, this weekend will be truly entertaining for the cast and the audience.

Freshman Foolery

The Seminoles Shall Live Forever

Guy M. Blynn I : :,::,:-:,,:, ::,:x-:x::;,- «£i Editor. Not*: Thr*o y«ar« ogo, wh*n w* war* only h**ling th* D.r\. w* promised m*

dormmot*> that if w* ever mad* it to b* Sport* Editor, w* would] writ» a column about th* Spoakmcn S*minol*«. Its now tim* to mo** good on that promise, to. fof th* ejuy* who w*r* on th* Boor, h*r*'« t*m*thing you can thaw t* your children and r*Jnind you of th* iickMM that was dormitory lif*.

"Help . . . J need help . . . Please, someone, I need help!" These were the cries that pierced the quief early morning hours that other- wise were "typical" of the second floor of Speakman Hall '63-'64.

No, it wasn't that anyone was sick or an attacker from the neigh- borhood had invaded the dormitory. Hardly! They were the not un- common cries of anguish that came with "Denny D. B.'s" realization that a paper was due the following morning and he hadn't even begun to read a certain book or do the necessary research.

Denny was the Speakman Dorm's gift to Jimmy Beggs' lightweight crew. Unfortunately, he had a habit of only ooing his schoolwork at night. And just as unfortunately, he had a habit of taxing a little six or seven hour nap after crew practice.

Luckily, Denny usually got that help he cried for. Most of the time it came from his roommate, the "Garbageman," but sometimes a Daily Pennsylvanian heeler assigned to the Army and Navy ROTC Rifle Teams or another of the Speakman menagerie would help him.

The War Still Goes On That group of assorted characters living on the second floor liked

to call itself the Seminoles, because of a vow they all took and never kept to go to Florida during Easter time and end a war which technical- ly still rages between the United States and the Seminole Indian nation.

If there was any single thing which typified a Seminole, it was either an almost total lack of seriousness or a love of sports.

For example, a small measure of ability and a great talent for getting the entire floor out for Sunday morning intramural football games enabled the Seminoles to capture the dorm title that year.

They would have won the All-University title, too, except that fraternity champs Delta Tau Delta had a team which featured Skip Carlson, Mike Kennedy, and Bernie "Boom Boom" Reinhardt, all re- spected names in Penn football.

But even in losing, the Seminoles were award winners. Their quarterback was voted "The Signalcaller with the Biggest Belly," and their crack pass receiver was voted "Jew Most Likely to Succeed in a Non-Jewish World." He did, too.

The Seminoles' real leader wasn't even a Seminole at all. Instead, by a quirk of fate, William Bayfield, III had been sent by the Univer- sity to ride herd on the dorm floor. The illustrious leader had a certain magnetism about him which made people forget their books and spend valuable hours wasting away in bull sessions in his room. Yet, the ex- perience only proved fatal to one of the Seminoles — the "Pieman," who was probably the smartest one of them all.

Bayfield was a contributor to some of the Seminoles most riotous times. A real chess buff, he organized a dorm floor championship. When he discovered that the Garbageman was the Miami City champ, he made it a single elimination contest with the winner taking on the "pro." Needless to say, when the fateful day came, the Miamian ad- mitted his total ignorance by asking opponent Bayfield "Er, which way do you move the horse."

When the Seminoles were looking for laughs, there were a num- ber of alternatives. One could always turn to a character called the "Florida Flash" and listen to his "Me and Tucker Fredrickson" stories.

The Balding Heir to the Coca Cola Fortune The verbal battles between pudgy "Pablo" and the Colonel were

another source of amusement. But the best treat on the floor came from the Colonel's final roommate. There was no better fun than watching the heir to Reading's Coca Cola fortune worry about his receeding hair- line.

When the Quad Grille and the Beanpole's Student Snack Service weren't enough, the Seminole's had their own food supply. At the end of the hail lived "Greenie," a happy little guy who didn't get into Uconn and had to settle for Penn. When hunger struck, you could always count on one of Greenie's great care packages which featured "Donald Duck" brand grapefruit juice.

Sunday afternoons provided the Seminoles their only opportunity to strike back at Philadelphia for being the City that it is. Eagle fans, struggling home along Hamilton Walk after the usual loss, were greeted by jeers and taunts from the brave Seminoles. As a precautionary measure against irate fans who sometimes invaded the Upper Quad and the hall itself, the future Phi Kaps in the floor rigged a public address system through Deputy Dog's room. Dumb Eagle fans were easily fooled by this dastardly ploy.

Diverse almost to an excess, the Seminoles featured their share of foreign students. There was the Canadian Flash, John Paleogolus from the Dardenells, and Leopold Bloom from Ireland. The canuck rowed crew while the other two did more sordid things that would now be looked upon as "camp."

The boys rarely get together much anymore. But, when they do meet on a Friday night in Smoke's, its a good bet that after the second or third pitcher, the conversation will turn to "the good old days." And "good old days" they were. Other dorm floors might have had as good a time, but you'll never convince a Seminole that he d.dn't have the best possible first year at Pennsylvania, no matter how he spent the other three.

TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1967 THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE SEVEN

Excerpts of President Johnson's Statement (Here are excerpts from Presi-

dent Johnson's Message to Con- gress):

To provide the military man- power this nation needs for its security and to assure that the system of selection operates as equitably as possible, I propose that:

1. The Selective Service law un- der which men can be inducted into the armed forces be extended for a four-year period, upon its expiration on June 30, 1967.

2. Men be inducted beginning at 19 years of age, reversing the present order of calling the old- est first, so that uncertainties now generated in the lives of young men will be reduced.

3. Policies be tightened govern- ing undergraduates' college defer- ment so that those deferments can never become exemptions from military service, and providing for

no further post-graduate defer- ments except for those in medical and dental schools.

4. Firm rules be formulated, to be applied uniformly throughout the country, in determining eligi- bility for all other types of defer- ment.

5. A Fair And Impartial Random —FAIR—system of selection be established to determine the order of call for all men eligible and available for the draft.

6. Improvements in the Selective Service system be immediately effected to assure better service to the registrant both in counselling and appeals, better information to the public regarding the system's representation on local boards of the communities they serve.

7. A study be conducted by the best management experts in the government of the effectiveness, cost and feasibility of a proposal

made by the National Advisory Commission to restructure the or- ganization of the Selective Service system.

8. The National Commission on Selective Service be continued for

another year to provide a continu- ing review of the system that touches the lives of so many young Americans and their families.

9. Enlistment procedures for our National Guard and Reserve units be strengthened to remove inequi- ties and to ensure a high rate of readiness for those units.

Student Deferment Student deferments have resulted

in inequities because many of these deferments have pyramided into exemptions from military service.

Deferred for undergraduate work, deferred further to pursue graduate study and then deferred even be- yond that for fatherhood or occu-

pational reasons, 'some young men have managed to pile deferment on deferment until they passed the normal cutoff point for induction.

There is one group of post- graduate students to whom this condition does not apply — men who are studying to be doctors and dentists. About half of them later serve as medical officers in the armed forces.

Their service is vital. Because their studies are essential to mili- tary manpower needs, students en- gaged in such programs must continue to be deferred until their education is completed.

I have concluded, however, that there is no justification for grant- ing further deferments to other graduate school students.

Frosh Five Close Campaign With 53-50 Victory Over Hill

By MARK LIEBERMAN

Perm's freshman basketball team won its last game Friday and finished the year with a 12-10 record. That doesn't sound extremely exciting or earth-shattering, but when the Quaker yearling contingent is considered, 12-10 adds up to a "great year."

That's exactly the way freshman coach Dick Phelps describes his 1966-67 squad's season. "With the talent we had, we weren't expected to win mo>-e than seven games, so 12 victories is great"

The frosh overtook the Hill School, 53-10, and it seemed as if they were playing against the 1965-66 varsity, at least by reading the roster. On the squad are Rick Neuman and Frank Northrop brothers of Quaker guards Jeff Neuman and Tom Northrop.

According to Phelps, Neuman has the potential to be a real good ballplayer. He had 28 points Friday and "was a leader on the court"

"He's the complete opposite of Jeff—shy and quiet—but on the court he's one hell of a ballplayer."

With the completion of his first year on the Penn basketball staff, Phelps has his sights set high for his next year's squad as well as for what this year's freshman will ac- complish on the varsity.

"We have five or six ballplayers who have good'shots at the var- sity" he commented. "Our varsity front line is not as strong as we'd like it and if Ken Cohen, Joe Moore, or Carl Robbins come through, they'll be real assets to Harter." "Robbins is the key for next year. He'll probably play cen- ter and, we're going to need him."

In the backcourt, Phelps looks to Jimmy Murphy as a "talented ball- handler whom the varsity could have used in three or four games this season."

Murph made his bid for a fresh- man scoring record this season, but fell short by a mere 10 points. He netted 411, failing to break the 421 -point mark established by Stan Pawlak in the 1962-1963 season.

In Friday's game with Hill, the 5'9" backcourt ace tallied 10 points and needed 19 to tie Pawlak. He led the frosh in scoring on the season averaging 19 points per game.

Robbins and Cohen were the sec- ond and third highest scorers on the squad and Robbins, a 6'6" for- ward led the hoopsters in rebound- ing.

"Nobody is 'out' as a contender for a varsity spot" the rookie coach concluded. "Any one of the fellows who is willing to work hard this summer has a good chance to win a place on the squad. The tran- sition from freshman ball to var- sity is a big jump, but these guys can make it"

By GARY HICKS

There was a great deal of cele- brating in the wrestling dressing room Saturday and there was plenty of reason for it

The Penn frosh had just come from behind to eke out a 17-15 victory over Colmbia and close out their season with an undefeated record.

Nearly everyone was talking about Ron White's 130 pound bout against Mike Quinn. One of the managers said, it was one hell of a match. It has to be one of the greatest in Penn history." Ron him- self was more modest about it. His face had that tired but happy look that winners have. White finished the season as the only undefeated wrestler on the team but he seemed more concerned about the team than himself. "Of course I'm happy but I don't think I would be if the team had lost."

"Somebody said that Quinn was a national prep champion and he hadn't been beaten in three years. I know he was awfully tough. At the start of the match I don't know whether I was psyched up or psyched out. But after I started wrestling I didn't have time to think about it. It's probably a good thing."

Princeton Was Turning Point Mike Atwell, the frosh captain,

seemed to show all the spirit and concern that captains are supposed to. "This match was a lot like the Princeton match; we had to come from behind and win it in the high- er weight classes. I think Princeton was the turning point of the sea- son. Before that we were just a bunch of individuals; there was no feeling of team unity. But since then, it's been great. Everyone is really pulling for the other guys and

we're much closer now. After the heroes in the season finale was Joe Princeton match we all knew we'd go undefeated."

As in the Princeton match, much of the heroics had to go to Dave Pottruck and Rusty Simon. Theirs were "must" matches and their wrestling indicated that they under- stood the situation. Pottruck came out as if he hadn't been fed in three weeks and his opponent was a full course meal. He built up a big point advantage with his aggres- siveness and gained the fall early in the second period.

Simon then met his opponent and the fans sensed immediately that the victory belonged to Penn. Rusty seemed to be in command all the time and the team and fans were on their feet and cheering at the start of the third period.

However, one of the biggest

Essex Catholic High School Mauls Frosh Swordsmen 23-4 In Finale

Had Maestro Csiszar forseen last year what the results would be when he added Essex Catholic High School to the freshmen fencing schedule, he might have had some second thoughts about it.

After losing their first to Colum- bia, possibly the best frosh team in the nation, the Quakers had a right to expect somewhat of a respite against a high school squad. But the swordsmen from New Jersey showed no mercy as they took the first thirteen bouts and humiliated Penn 23-4 Saturday at Hutchinson Gym.

Essex was just overwhelming. With victory clinched in the second round, the winners filled their final round line-up with nine subs.

Against most of Penn's starters they triumphed 'in all but one match. The only Quakers able to register wins were espeemen Keith Smith, Jeff Nicholl and Jarett Kap- lan, along with Bruce Lieb, in foil.

The results, however, should have come as no surprise or great disgrace. It was Essex Catholic's 54th straight victory in a schedule that includes such opponents as Princeton's and CCNY's frosh squads. The Quakers were at a huge experience disadvantage against Essex. Only the foil team of Al Cherry, captain Ron King and Lieb fenced in high school.

Unfortunately the season-ending losses to Columbia and Essex put a damper on what was really a

successful year for Penn's fresh- men. They improved over last season's frosh record by defeating Navy and had a relatively easy time of it in their other five wins.

With many starting positions open on the varsity next year due to graduation, many freshmen stand to be in the running to fill them. Possibly the best prospect is sabre- man Dave Ehst. In his first year of fencing Ehst took 14 of 22 bouts and showed great improvement. Others to watch are the members of the epee team: Smith, Nicholl, Kaplan, Jeff Sterling and Al Leon- hart. They made epee the most successful of the three teams for Penn with Smith compiling the best freshman winning percentage at 13-7.

Oleinik in the 177 class. As Coach Sanders mentioned, "Joe's was the match we had to win and he put out a great effort. If he had lost it wouldn't have mattered what Pot- truck and Simon did.

The first thing that Coach Sand- ers said after the match was, "I'm tired. I really sweated this one. But the kids were psyched up for this match and they came through just like they have all season. They're put out a lot of effort all season and they got the job done. They're all heroes; I'm proud of every one of them. But it's still not over. Now we have to get ready for the Plebe Tournament in two weeks."

Penn Record Established in I. C. 4-A Meet

Penn's varsity two mile relay team continued to shine'last Satur- day night as eighty schools sent their best trackmen to compete in the I.C.A.A.A.A. meet in New York's Madison Square Garden.

Although the Quaker varsity was unable to get on the scoreboard in this highly competitive meet the two mile relay team of Joe DeMaio, Bill Caldwell, Earl Andrews, and Jerry Williams finished eight out of eighty while establishing a Penn record in this event.

The quartet's time of 7:45.2, which eclipsed the old mark of 7:45.9, was called "very good" by coach Jim Tuppeny, because it "broke an outdoor record on an indoor track, which is both unusual and surprising."

Jim Pollack ran the fastest 440 of his career in leading off Penn's mile relay team. Rick Owens ran a fast time of 49.1 in anchoring the same event, as the Quaker squad was hindered by the absence of in- jured regulars, Ernie Lieberman and Frank Boka.

Penn's freshman cindermen were also unable to score in the I.C. 4-A's. The best the Quaker yearlings could do was a sixth place finish in the distance medley, as George Lokken ran the half mile, Tohn Kinahan the quarter mile, Cy Col- lins the 200, and Dave Ladanye the mile.
