College Says Final Exams Up To Instructor By Joseph Clkan
Are final examinations obsolete? delphia, made use of this system of dealing with exams, and he
The College of DuPage adminis- considered it to be quite success- tratlon has ruled finals are op- ful. tlonal and up to the discretion of each instructor.
John H. Anthony, associate dean j fc' of arts here, thinks final exam- l.P, inations are not only outdated but 1 also usually unfair and quite use- I less as a true measure of real knowledge. He wouldn’t give them.
Where finals have been more or
less a matter of policy, the idea may seem a bit revolutionary.
But abolishing final exams and even abolishing grades are ideas that have been around for quite some time. The school with which Anthony was formerly associated, Peirce Junior College in Phila-
JOHN ANTHONY Associate Arts Dean
Why is Dean Anthony opposed to final exams?
Well, he believes, for one thing, that some conditions such as sick¬ ness, headache, and outdoor tem¬ perature, exert a strong influence on a student’s performance on a test. When a single exam repre¬ sents 30 or 40 per cent of a student’s quarter or semester grade, t h e se conditions become greatly magnified.
The nature of the exams them¬ selves are often unjust, he says. « A one or two hour test with only 100 or so questions is not a true representation of a student’s performance for a whole quarter.”
Anthony feels that final exams do not show to what extent a student has progressed in a par¬
ticular course nor do they tell a student what he has or has not learned.
NO FEEDBACK
Exams do not offer an opport¬ unity for what Anthony calls 'feed¬ back.” Most teachers seldom show their students the graded exams so the student can see his mistakes.
Anthony is not opposed to exams in general. He simply believes that it is unfair to base a large percentage of a quarter mark on one test alone.
MORE QUIZZES
He favors frequent quizzes as a truer 'measuring stick” of one’s knowledge. He also feels that final exams are probably less use¬ ful in some courses than in others.
Quarter to Semester Hours Translates This Way: 3-2
Many liberal arts courses, English and literature, for exam¬ ple, involve a continuous process of learning new material and e-
valuating it, and students would definetely not profit from final exams. In science courses, such as chemistry, learning builds successively and reaches an end point. In courses like this, final exams could be more useful, if not weighed too heavily, he feels.
Wouldn’t this practice of limit¬ ed final exams put a greater strain on instructors?
Yes Anthony feels that, while not all instructors favor this system, the College of DuPage has an excellent faculty searching for new ideas in education, and he is cer-

Semester and quarter credit hours interchange on a ratio of two semester hours for three quar¬ ter hours. This common concern among undergraduates is as simple as that, according to Robert I. Steger, College of DuPage Instruc¬ tor.
Most hang-ups occur, he said, when students switch from one field to study to another, such as from physical education to engineering. The courses appropriate for one major area may not be applicable in another, except as electives.
Aside from this, any properly accredited college credit will al¬ ways transfer to another institu¬ tion in the above three to two ratio.
Most four year schools require either 120 semester hours or 180 quarter hours for the baccalaureate degree. Some schools will accept D grades in an overall C or bet¬ ter average, while some will ac¬ cept no D grades.
Other schools will insist on com¬ parable performance in attendance there, before they make final ac¬ ceptance of any credits. This is true mainly in marginal cases.
Vocational and remedial courses (below 100 level) are sometimes accepted and sometimes not de¬ pending on whether they are of¬ fered in the college to which you transfer. These courses are ac¬ cepted for a C.O.D. Associates Degree.
There may be a difference of an hour’s credit between specific courses. However, schools of transfer make a policy of trying to give the student the average number of credits he brings in. Any prospective school will send
evaluation of courses and a listing of requirements to students who are admitted.
The main idea, said Steger, is to keep in mind where you’re going and plan in that direction. The ratio holds the same though, for all. Two semester credits for three quarter credits.
^ THE GREATEST unei?
It's Official Now: Kelly Green, Gold Are College Colors
College of DuPage students have voted Kelly green and gold as of¬ ficial colors.
This combination won out by a two to one ratio in balloting con¬ ducted through a coupon in The Courier last week.
Some of the original colors up for selection had to be discarded because the combinations were not available from the manufacturers.
Uniforms for the teams and cheerleaders will be ordered in this color combination.

Rally Winner Remains Mystery; Calculations Hold Up Decision
by Dean Paige
The first College of DuPage Road Rally was held Sunday, but the win¬ ners of the 85-mile, 2 l/2-hour route are still a mystery.
The Rally was based on intri¬ cate timing and the computation of each driver’s score is a long and involved procedure.
Winners will be announced at the Mixer at the Student Center Fri¬ day.
Thirty-seven cars out of an entry field of 45 started. One by one, at half-minute intervals, the cars left the Student Center. They fol¬ lowed a route which took them
through Palatine, Arlington Heights, Rockford, along the East Vfest Tollway and to O’Hare Air¬ port.
Only 30 cars finished. Five never showed up at the second checkpoint and two were not heard from after the start of the race.
Three'girl entrants finished looking haggard but otherwise no worse from the experience. How these brave girls fared in the com¬ petition is not known yet.
The only incident marring the rally was a traffic ticket given to one of the girl drivers, Debbie Ford for running a stopsign, thus automatically disqualifying her.
There was mass confusion when drivers reached the area of Kur- ing Rd. at which they were sup-

posed to make a turn. It seems that no one could find Kuring Rd., and for good reason. It doesn’t exist. Rally officials admitted this was their mistake and that drivers would not be penalized for excess mileage at this point.
The driver of each car was ac¬ companied by a navigator who aided him in deciphering the instructions and in finding strategic road mark¬ ers.
The event was a test of driving ability and timing rather than speed.
Checkpoint personnel were plagued by high winds which re¬ peatedly scattered their materials, by curious motorists trying to figure out what they were doing sitting on the side of the road, and be contestants who were not at all happy with their performance.
One contestant when asked for his mileage was heard to say, 'You know what you can do with your lousy mileage, I haven’t got a chance in the running anyway.”
In spite of these difficulties, the Rally was successful, according to Bob Myers, the organizer.
Another RaUy, the Chaparral Chase, is being planned for Sun¬ day, Dec. 3. This will be a Gimmick Rally in which mileage rather than time will be the determining fac¬ tor.
New Book System Winter Quarter
A new system for purchase of books will be used for the winter term.
Books will be sold both at the place of registration and at the bookstore. The order and delivery method used in the fall term has been discarded.

But History Remains Schwass' First Love By Jill Berger
Judo expert, wrestler, ex-lawyer, art lover, world traveler—that’s Wallace Schwass, history teacher at the College of DuPage. He says he teaches history because he loves it.
The hand of history shapes each of us, be says.
•What we are grows out of our history and the history of the world. Knowing our historic back¬ ground is an Important part of understanding ourselves. Through history we can predicate policies.”
•History,” he says, «is a totality, and tied in with It are our value patterns and the intensity of our value patterns.”
One of the “alien parts of Amer¬ ica’s culture” and “value patterns” is in art. World travel, which has taken Schwass to Ceylon, the Orient and Europe, has emphasized to him, he sayd, the role that art plays in people’s lives. This love for art, however, fails to extend into Amer¬ ica.
“Americans,” he said, “are over organized. There is not enough leisure time.” And leisure time, Schwass says, is needed for the fuU enjoyment of art.
This is where the junior and community colleges come in. Jun-
“The purpose of the junior col¬ lege is to enable people to lead richer lives,” in his opinion.
C.O.D. students, he says, have a high morale which is reflected on the sports field, in the stu¬ dent activities and the interplay between students and faculty.
“The enthusiasm of the instruc¬ tor will transmit itself, and stu¬ dents with the potential for the arts will be aroused.
“But,” he continued, “the teach¬ ers do not have enough time to spend with the students.”
Generally speaking, C.O.D. has a highly qualified faculty and a stimulating student body, Schwass thinks. The college, he feels, has great potential and will have a great impact on the community.
Schwass, who teaches at the Lyons branch, is a graduate from Northwestern. He has a bachelor’s degree, a masters obtained from the University of Illinois, and a degree in law. He is a John A. Fellow Scholar from Harvard, which is a title he will hold for life. Schwass, who learned judo in Army Intelligence, enjoys moun¬ tain climbing and canoeing.
Future plans are a trip around the world with emphasis on Japan, East Africa and Europe, he said.

tain that they will meet the chal¬ lenge.
Student reaction, of course, will
vary. Undoubtedly many Students do well on iinai exams for various reasons, but the majority of stu¬ dents should be overjoyed to be freed from the drudgery of finals.
In the present, over-all educa¬ tional systems in this country, grades are the things that count. Many students will go to any length to get them.
MAYBE NO GRADES
Dean Anthony feels that there is Indeed too much emphasis placed on grades. He sees a writ¬ ten evaluation by the instructor of each student as the ideal way of letting a student and his parents know just how the students is doing.
This short evaluation would tell the student how much he has learn¬ ed and on what points he need to work on. Althought written e- valuations in place of grades does not seem imminent, the policy of limited examination looks like a step in the right direction, in Anthony’s view.
ior colleges, he feels are in the
position to arouse the students’ interest in the concepts of art.
“Junior colleges,” Schwass says, “can introduce and expose the stu¬ dents to the alien parts of their culture.” Most people do not hav<s
an early enough exposure to the arts, and most families are not dedicated to the arts, he says. And it is this dedication that is important to the full appreciation of art.

A UNIVERSAL PICTURE
TECHNICOLOR’
(Released January 1966 — Universal-International A RARE BREED Pictures — In COLOR — Directed by Andrew V.
McLaglen) of heroic adventurers... (Technicolor) The advent of two ladies from England and their prize bull on a Texas cattle spread, sacred until then to cattle barons and innumerable fierce and sinewy Texas longhorns, precipitates one of the greatest donny-brooks ever filmed. The story begins at the annual livestock show in St. Louis, Missouri in the year 1884. Jimmy Stewart as a saddle tramp is as¬ signed to deliver the first Hereford bull ever brought to America, to its new owner in Texas. He has to fight cattle stampedes, the elements and outlaws planning to hijack the animal. Once in Texas, he then has to compete with the cattle baron for the hand of Maureen O’Hara. In this thrilling picture, Jimmy Stewart matches the might of his role in “Shenandoah” with adventure that matches the might of Texas. —.108 MINUTES

THE COURIER, October'24, 1967.
As drivers and navigators per¬ used their instruction sheet, rally officials made a last-minute check on sections of the course, and discovered a waterworks bar¬ ricade. Needless to say, the barricade was quickly disposed of.
On course, checkpoints were often jammed with confused rallyists, but' life at the off course checkpoints was not at all bad as Bruce Lathrop and Barb Shilakls might testify.
The off course checkpoint caught a few unwary drivers who missed the left turn — a mistake worth five points.

Counting Our Blessings... Seems to us we’ve heard some
muttering—some of it our own- over chaotic conditions around over chaotic conditions around the campus...excuse us, campuses. There’s parking, and commuting, and getting textbooks and...well, we could go on for quite a while. Naturally, the blame for these problems has been dumped on the most convenient scapegoat—the administration.
Instead of launching into a ti¬ rade against the administration, however, we’d prefer to bring up some of the things the adminis¬ tration has done that produce fav¬ orable reactions when we stop and think of them—the availability of two years of college at a price that does not require years of debt; a faculty with enough back¬
ground to make many an insti¬ tution envious; a student center that would turn a good number of college students green with jeal¬ ousy; a selection of courses more complete than many another junior college can offer.
The first year of a new college may be hard for the students, but the burden of responsibility for making the school a good one does not fall to the students but to the administration. Whether or not the content of the course is adequate or better than adequate is more important than easy pur¬ chase of books.
So, if you must mutter about the over-sight (actually, the over-bur¬ dens) of the administration— please, mutter a little more gently.
Why Clobber The Students? The numerous riots which have
ravaged cities around the country during the last several years have aroused the best in prejudicial- apathetic attitudes.
Arson, looting, and murder go nearly unpunished under the guise of civil rights protests while stu¬ dent demonstrators, guilty of the unpardonable sin of picketing and throwing eggs, are beaten, gassed, and jailed. „
Certainly hippies, draft demon¬
strators, and students should be vulnerable to the law. But why is the law’s heavy hand always wield¬ ing a night stick or gas gun against these people at the first drop of a picket sign when blood thirsty crowds screaming equal rights are ignored.
Radicals excluded, all Intelligent persons realize the right and ad¬ vantage of equality for all men. Does equality in civil rights super¬ cede equality in enforcement of the law?
Letters To The Editor Letters in good taste of no more than 250 words, will be printed.
Letters must be signed but names will be withheld on request.
Dear Editor:
This is in regards to student participation at the College of Du Page. I would appreciate very much if this letter were to be pub¬ lished in your next edition of the COURIER.
Within the last few weeks of school, several of my friends and myself have tried to become active in school activities, working on the newspaper, and helping to plan mixers. We have tried practically all means to become involved in these committees, and we have tried signing our names to these lists which are always being made out for interested students but nothing becomes of them. I, my¬ self, am a quiet student and would rather sit back and have a smaller part in these affairs. There must be some jobs, for example, helping in the printing of the paper.
Another topic which I have be¬ come a bit sore about, is a school yearbook. The majority of the schools have a yearbook so why do we have to be different. I have talked to many students and they feel much the same as myself.
Thank you for your time.
A Fellow Student
Dear Fellow Student:
We of the Courier staff realize your problem only too well. In the turmoil of publishing the first issues, we our«°ives lost and mis¬ placed the
people. Many of the student groups were probably in the same situa¬ tion.
There is certainly a need for people who want to work in stu¬ dent activities.
For example, the Courier can use several students who can write, typewrite, proofread—or who are just plain sincere and willing to help. The student organizations are in the same boat—they need people.
Participation is not only on the organization side of the scene— the need for membership that wiU support the clubs is just as great as the need for active organizers.
A quick note to remind the groups that you are still Interested might do you some good, also. A point often overlooked is that many students show up for one or two organizational meetings, profess interest, and are never heard from again or give only half-hearted help.
As for a yearbook, this would be almost an impossible task with stu¬ dents spread over so many areas and the difficulties in organizng a staff that would be large and ef¬ ficient enough to get a yearbook out (speak to weary Courier staff members for affirmation on this point). Perhaps when the central campus is completed and student groups, sports teams, and students are available, a yearbook will be feasible.

DuPage Offers Electronic Technology Modern Lab Aids Students
By John Wegner
Situated on 55th and Grant streets In Hinsdale Township Central high school Is College of DuPage Unit 4. Two separate classes totaling 50 students meet there throughout each week to study electronic tech¬ nology.
Students hear three hours of lec¬ ture per week which Introduces and prepares them for the four hours of Intensive laboratory work.
The course design resembfes the traditional science laboratory classes in many ways. Working from an electronics textbook and his own knowledge the Instructor, O. M. Kurltza, presents a basic principle or Idea to his students
In each lecture. The problem is worked out for the group in great detail. Then they move Into the test areas for practical experience.
The laboratory Is divided Into 10 stations with two students assigned to each one. More than $800 of Intricate test equipment is at the disposal of each station team.
Designed and constructed by De Vry Co. In Chicago, the stations Include an oscllliscope, a variable frequency generator, a power supply, and a honeycomb patch board that Is like a universal printed circuit. Many other pieces of experimental hardware round out the set up.
LAB MANUAL USED
A laboratory manual and work¬ book outlines each programmed experiment; one for each preced¬ ing lecture. Step by step the fu¬ ture technicians are taken through a series of electronic tests that physically bear out each lecture theory as presented.
After the experiment is com¬ pleted, students are permitted to
draw conclusions from the data and evidence gathered which are hopefully the right ones.
ELECTRONICS 101
Electronic Technology 101 Is di¬ vided Into 12 sequential courses which include electronic calcula¬
tions, experimental circuit con¬ struction, and making measure¬ ments. The overall aim of the course study Is an associated de¬ gree In science. This says In effect that each of the graduates will be a fully trained electronic technician ready to enter Into any industrial or experimental elec¬ tronics laboratory.
Although this installation Is ade¬ quate to train the men, Kurltza said, “Now we are working to expand because this (the lab) Is still strictly a high school thing.”
Next quarter new and better lab equipment Is coming, according to the Instructor, and possible two new stations bringing the total work areas to 12.
Plans are already starting for when DuPage is a single campus. Completely equipped stations, far advanced over the Hinsdale ones, will be complemented by a central master research center and pos¬ sibly a fully operative amateur radio station. Nobody will commit themselves on that point yet. With this Installation C.O.D. may be¬ come a leader in technical elec¬ tronic training.
Many of the people taking the course now are presently working in the electronics field and some are studying with their particular company’s support to update and Improve their technical standing. The taxpayers can recognize the service to local Industry and bus¬ iness that the classes are per¬ forming.
As the course enrollment In¬ creases, more and mere com¬ pletely trained individuals will be poured Into the area benefittlng everyone.
The stude nts themselves are happy with the program which gives them so much in return for their efforts. One gentlman In his mid¬ twenties stated that he was thank¬ ful that DuPage and Hinsdale got together at this particular time because this is the only way he can keep up his electronics job and 1m- orove at the same time.
“And when I graduate I’ll be equal to the top man in the shop in applied knowledge and knowhow,” he observed.

Brown Says Folk Style Is Passe, Youth Wants Combos These Days
By Donna Boerste
•Folk singing doesn’t exist— It’s a myth.”
His slightly ribald air onstage belies his awareness of the sit¬ uation that folk singing Is in today.
Folk singer—*1 don’t consider myself a folk singer” (his ma¬ terial is too broad)—John Brown likes the music he plays, digs the Beatles («The greatest thing since sliced bread”), and feels that folk singing has passed, with the de¬ mise of such true folk singers as Woody Guthrie, to *the great hootenanny In the sky.”
Brown was the main attraction at a coffee house Friday night in the Student Union where students shucked peanuts on a sawdust-cov¬ ered floor.
Brown, who lives In Chicago’s
Old Town, prefers playing to the
college student In the coffee house
than to the adult In the liquor¬
serving establishment.
The college student that typifies the person most receptive to folk singing, however, is overshadowed in the buying market by the nine- to-14 year-old who prefers the more dynamic sounds of written music that keeps pace with the time by sounding like the modern age of electronics, he feels.
How can folk music compete with the mass media that has all the depth of the Reader’s Digest?
•Subverslvely,” he days.
However, he continues, folk sing¬ ing has passed its prime and Is beyond recall. The appeals of folk singing are overshadowed by the modern qualities of the psychi- delic scene.
This type of music has condition¬ ed a trend toward groups and has almost made obsolete the single folk singer. There are fewer and fewer places left where the true folk singer can find a job, he maintains, and most of the jobs that are left offer only “lousy pay.”
Speaking of himself and the mar¬ ket—"Nobody trusts a person over 25.”
Brown’s first professional job was In Addison at «Caffe la Motif,” after which he headed for Old Town, then on tour westward, hitting Aspen and Oklahoma City. Forma¬ tion of a folk trio called the Tri- umverate (which included as a member MamaCass of the Mamas and Papas) followed. He now busies himself with his leather shop In Piper’s Alley.

NORMAN HURT IN FIRST PERIOD By Scott Betts
What do you do when you lose both your starting halfbacks in the first-half? What do you do when you give the ball away on fumbles four times? What do you do when you get the ball inside your opponents ten-yard line twice and are unable to score? Well, for one thing, you lose, which is just what the Col¬ lege of DuPage Chaparrals did' Saturday, dropping a tough one to the Red Devils of Eureka.
Midway through the first quarter Ralph Norman raced around right end for five yards before being - stopped. After the whole Eureka team had piled on him the whistle blew. Everybody got up but Ralph. He was helped off the field with an injured ankle.
John Cunningham was ejected from the game late in the second quarter for fighting. This left the burden on Jim Haas and Chuck French.
The Chaparrals fumbled four times, but only one figured in the Eureka scoring. SuP age guard Tom Cundiff and tackle Frank Sager re¬ covered fumbles for the Chapar¬ rals.
Red Devil quarterback Don Deats had no trouble finding his receivers in the open and amassed over 200 yards through the air. Deats rifled three touchdown passes andranfor one, a 15-yard bootleg around right
end.
Harriers Split Meets The turning point in the game took
place on Eureka’s first play from scrimmage in the first quarter when Deats lobbed a pass to end John Thomas behind the line of scrimmage.
The DuPage secondary expected a run and closed in on Thomas, who then floated a pass to Mark Stoddart, who raced to the DuPage 14 before being hauled down from behind. Deats then bootlegged on for the score.
The next time Eureka got the ball Deats uncorked a 25-yard pass to Stoddart that carried to the DuPage 10 and then pitched a scor¬ ing strike to Thomas to make the score 12-0.
After recovering a fumble on the DuPage 37, Eureka scored again in the first quarter when, after a Deats pass put the ball on the four, Don Bruna went over the middle for the score making it 18-0, which way the way the disastrous first quarter ended.
The only score for DuPage came after Bob Clements had made a spectacular catch at the one foot line on a pass froj line on a pass from Tom Stiegler. Cunningham carried it over to cut Eureka’s lead to 18-6.
The Chaparrals had two great chances to score in the second quarter but failed to capitalize. Bill Capril made one of his paten-

ted one-hand interceptions on the Eureka 45 and got to the 35 be¬ fore he was stopped. Four plays later, Eureka took over on downs. A few minutes later, Frank Sager pounced on a Eureka fumble at the Red Devil’s 10-yard line but were unable to cross the goal¬ line.
After Deats and Thomas had combined again to make the score 24-6, the Red Devils tried an onside kick, which traveled five yards to the Eureka 45 and Du Page took over. Two penalties and 21 yards later the Chaparrals found themselves on the Eureka 24 and close to pay dirt. Once more they couldn’t score.
The second half was a night¬ mare for the DuPage team. Fum¬ bles, dropped interceptions, jar¬ ring tackles by Eureka and pen¬ alties plagued the green and gold. Red Devils were able to pile on tackle after tackle as the whistles came later and later after the play had ended. Two pass interference calls were slapped on the Chap¬ arrals. Lee Weems and Bill Cap-' ril were injured on bone breaking tackles.
The final tallies for Eureka came on a 39 yard pass from Deats to Spencer and a short run by Jesse Jenkins.
With about 30 seconds on the clock, DuPage got the ball on the Eureka seven yard line and pre¬ pared to jump into double figures. But a Stiegler pass was inter¬ cepted at the four and the gun sounded.

This week’s first sports spot¬ lite shines on Chaparral half-back Ralph Norman, from Downers Grove. Ralph, who played first- string half-back for Downers Grove South high school for two years, has been a big factor in DuPage’s two straight wins after an opening day loss to Thornton.
In the 33-13 victory over Mor¬ ton, Norman gained 207 yards on the ground and scored three touch¬ downs. Against Elmshurst junior varsity, Ralph, carried the ball 21 times for 136 yards in the Chaparrals 28-0 win.
though he should pass the 1,000 mark before the end of the season. A great achievement by a remark¬ able athlete.
When the College of DuPage an¬ nexed the Lyons Township Junior College it got not only a high school in which to hold classes but a fine instructor in assistant foot¬ ball coach Bob Smith.
A Boilermaker all the way, Mr. Smith attended Purdue University where he got his Bachelor of Science degree and later his Master’s Degree. He was also the assistant freshman coacn at Purdue. While attending Purdue he lettered in football three years.
Mr. Smith taught at Lyons where he coached golf, basketball and baseball.
Besides coaching football at C. O. D. Mr. Smith will also head the swimming team and base¬
ball team.
Coach Smith also pointed out a few players who have been playing exceptionally weU. “I’m very high on Ralph Norman, John Cunning¬ ham and Jim Haas. Mike Clements, Lee Weems and Mike Muldoon are coming along fine, too.”
RALPH NORMAN
Majoring in business adminis¬ tration, Ralph has not decided on the college he will transfer to after he completes his studies at C.O.D.
When asked what he thought of the job head football coach Dick Miller has done with the team, Norman said, “I think he’s done a great job.” Just then, assistant coach Bob Smith walked by and Ralph was dutifully silent.
On lack of student supportfor the team, Norman had this to say. “With aU the different locations of the college you can’t really expect the students to attend the games.”’ Referring to the team, he said “Right now, we’re playing for ourselves anyway.”
Thus far this season, through three games, Norman has rushed
Donald Sullivan, head cross¬ country and basketball coach, is probably the only athletic instruc¬ tor to attend, would you believe, Stephens College, one of the world’s foremost ladies finishing schools. Actually coach Sullivan went there during the past summer for some post-graduate work. He also had the distinction of leading the Ottowa FaUstaffs to an Illinois state AAU
championship In basketball.
When asked how the College of DuPage athletic program com¬ pares with the athletic program of the Lyons, Smith said, “At Du¬ Page, we’re offering a much more diversified program. The facil¬ ities here are much better. We also have fine personnel to conduct the program.
The spirit on the football team is very high. “The kids have come to play football. They’re pro¬ gressing every game. After the loss to Thornton they came right back to win their next two. They enjoy playing and they’re very eager. I’m very proud of them.”

The College of DuPage cross¬ country team was victorious for the first time this season after drop¬ ping its first two meets. The har¬ riers ran up a score of 37 points to 41 for the North Central Jun¬ ior Varlsty and 44 for Bloom Jun¬ ior College in a meet held at North Central College Oct. 17.
The hilly North Central course of three miles was covered first by Mike Cuprys of North Central in a time of 16 minutes and 57 seconds. Finishing third, first for the roadrunners, was Bill Krajelis.
The second roadrunner to cross the finish line was Terry Kopitke of Naperville, who took seventh place. Joe Ladbuzih of LaGrange was eighth, Ernie Rodriguiz, ninth, Chris Board, tenth and Tim Ma¬ loney eleventh for DuPage.
On Oct. 19, however, the results were a little different as Wright Junior College shut out the har¬ riers to a tune of 15 to 50. Fin¬ ishing for DuPage were Jim Tice
Coach Sullivan received his B.S. from Eastern Illinois State and his Master’s from the University of Illinois. He took post-graduate work at Indiana University, North- ern Hlinois University, Illinois State at Normal and Eastern Ill¬ inois State.
Besides being qualified to teach Physical Ed., Coach Sullivan can also teach science, biology and
even zoology.
Mr. Sullivan has coached at the following schools: Argenta High School, Peoria Spaling, Farmer City, LaSalle Peru and Illinois valley Jr. College.
This Week In Sports
He has coached baseball, track, football, cross-country, golf, and basketball on the high school level, and track, cross-country, golf, and basketball on the Junior college level. While coaching basketball he has piled up a winning per¬ centage of 70 percent.
In the opinion of coach Sullivan, the athletic program is just “great”, he’s disappointed, though, with the lack of student support.

For the second straight week, our sport teams were incredibly successful against their opponents.
Coach Donald Sullivan’s cross¬ country squad won its first meet of the season, defeating Bloom and North Central College junior varsity. Bill Krajelis ran his best time of the season in finishing third and Terry Kopitke surprised everybody by coming In a strong seventh. Despite a tough loss to Wright Junior College, the road- runners appear to be in great shape for their final three meets.

surprisingly easy wins over Mor¬ ton and Elmhurst Junior Varsity. Coach Dick Miller has found a great quarterback in Wayne Snyder, who took over for the Chapar¬ rals after the first and secor'1 string quarterbacks were injured in the first game of the season.
In their last contest with Elm¬ hurst, Snyder and company roled up a total offense of 338 yards, with 267 of those yards coming on the ground. Ralph Norman and Chuck French led the ground attack, while Snyder completed six out of nine passes for 71 yards. The Chap¬ arrals are an exciting bunch of football players and deserve the support of the student body.
As usual, the golf team was vic¬ torious as they won easily over Morton 307 to 340. That puts their record at an impressive 7 and 1. John Green led the way with a 74. Coach Joseph Palmieri can be proud of his golfers.
Intramurais are moving along at a brisk pace with golf and tennis coming to a close and basketball and co-educational volleyball looming up in the future.
The DuPage basketball team is getting prepared for its opening game and Coach Sullivan is pleased with the turnout.-Betts
