Student Congress to Join National Student Association

The Student Congress of Providence College had its first meeting of the year on Monday, Sept. 25.

The major topic on the agenda was whether the Student Congress would join the National Student Association. Albert P. Pepka, sponsor of the b i l l to join the N.S.A. , pointed out that the Association is made up of 326 student governments throughout the country. Advantages in joining N.S.A. were, accessible l ibrary of references explaining what other student governments are doing, a life insurance policy for students at a reduced price, and better bargaining power when dealing with singing groups for concerts. Also more than 15,000 volunteer workers have come from the N.S.A. to help the Office of Economic Opportunity with some of its various programs. A roll-call vote passed the b i l l for joining N.S.A. unanimously.

The point was made, that the Student Congress belonged to the National Student Association about three years ago but resigned upon request of the College. It was felt at that time the N.S.A. was a Communist orientated organi2ation. Mr . Dunphy, Congress President, remarked, that "this has been proven false in the events of the past year" and therefore to

rejoin the organization would be feasible.

James Montague sponsored a b i l l that would petition F r . Haas, to reduce prices of paperback books ten percent. The reason given was that Mr. Hen-sen of the Brown Book Store told Mr . Montague that hardcover books bring in a profit of 20% while paper-backs bring in 30%. For this reason he lowered the prices of his paper-backs by 10%. Mr. Montague went on further to say that if the request was not granted the passage in the Student Handbook which states that "students should buy books from the College Book Store since it is more economical," should be stricken from the handbook. The b i l l was passed unanimously.

A b i l l to protest the alleged "hearding" of students to the convocational Mass was tabled for further study.

Among the first matters of business was the appointing of students to the Student Faculty Board. Representing the class of 1968 w i l l be Paul V . Byrne and Dennis S. Baluch. The Class of 1969 w i l l have Joseph T. McAleer and Lindsay E . Waters. Br ian J Murphy and Robert W. Palmer w i l l represent the class of 1970. Of the six students three are day-hops and three are dorm students.

Campus Improvements Highlight '67 Vacation

The first stages of what appears to be an ambitious long range program of improvements to the physical plant of the College is well underway. Official confirmation of a much discussed "10 year program" of building and remodelling has not been made as yet. However, the most casual tour of the campus reveals an unprecedented state of activity that perhaps is an indication of a bright future for the College campus.

Adding considerable weight to rumors that a 10 year expansion program is to be inaugurated is the recent formation by Very Rev. Wi l l i am Paul Haas, O.P., President of the College, of a permanent building committee. The objective of the committee, as outlined by F r . Haas, is to oversee construction presently underway and to formulate and recommend plans for new con-

Renovated Donnelly Hall Realized; Houses Temporary Student Union

Among the various physical changes which have taken place on the P.C. campus during the summer recess is the refurbishing of Donnelly H a l l , in order to serve as a temporary Student Union. F r . Robert Morris, O.P., Vice President for Development, has indicated that Donnelly is only a "temporary measure, unt i l permanent facilities can be provided." F r . Morris noted that a permanent Student Union was one of the topics discussed in the Development Committee meeting Sept. 25.

Mr . Arthur J . Newton, Director of Student Affairs, pointed out that, under the Management of Mr. James Donahue, and his

assistant, Mr. Wi l l iam Paniccia, the Administration hopes to provide at Donnelly the recreational needs of the students. Along with the pool tables, T V . lounge, Carolan and Dil lon Club offices, Mr. Newton hoped that the two conference rooms, which would be used on a rotating basis, would satisfy many of the students' needs.

Mr . Newton added that since Donnelly is to serve as a student activities center, it is his intention that the students actively participate in the management of the facility. For this reason, he has recommended that the Student Congress " i m -

THE COWL, SEPTEMBER 27, 1967

On the Riots Summer '67' marked the emergence

into the limelight of two of the greatest war mongers in American History. This infamous duo did not however, call for the total destruction of Viet N a m , nor did they even press for an escalation of the Vietnamese War . Chaos in Southeast A s i a was not "the objective of these demons. Their cause was far more ghastly : T o corrupt the very roots of American Society by promulgating a massive civil war of bigotry.

The "campaign of violence" which was incited by the words of H . R a p Brown and Stokley Carmichael, clearly followed the lines of Communistic ag gression.

They preached in Ghettos to the poor, the ignorant, the jobless and the impressionable young. This is obviously a captive audience typical of those which the Communist prey upon.

They demanded that the Negroes arm themselves with rifles and fire bombs and strike out at the white world which tormented them. These agitators promised that vengeance and riots would bring a better way of life for the oppressed Negroes. T h e y could loot and steal what " W h i t e y " had not let them earn. They could kill and plunder like savages until they brought " W h i t e y " to his knees, then the Negro would reign supreme.

This formula of civi l war should be familiar to the student of modern his tory. It has paved the way for the a d vance of Communism which has enveloped nearly half of the globe.

Most Americans steadfastly agree

that Communism could not possibly i n vade our beloved country, but we are presently sitting on a powder keg of rebellion which could at any moment explode. The effects of the summer of rioting were devastating and hideous, but yet we scoff and claim that the events were coincidental.

Did the riots just happen haphazardly , or were they part of a master plot to undermine our society? T h e future of Democracy may hinge on the answer to this question.

The Poverty P r o g r a m which have been initiated in order to aid the inhabitants of the Ghettos are commendable efforts, but they can only attempt to prevent the secondary causes of widespread rioting.

Litt le has been done to check the p r i m a r y cause which is the instigation of the omnious oration (Brown and Carmichael) .

Congress did manage to formulate a bil l which was supposed to make it a federal offense to cross state lines for the purpose of inciting a riot. However, this law does not seem to be worth the paper it was printed on because both Brown and Carmichael continue to preach hate and violence throughout the country.

The freedom of speech is indeed precious, bpt it seems somewhat absurd that subversive savages who call for mass destruction and the humiliation of the A m e r i c a n Negro would be protected under the guise of civil rights action. Possibly new legislation should be enacted.

Student Prefect System Student discontent with the rules

and regulations that govern campus residence has been a major issue at P r o v i dence College and many other inst itutions for some time. In recent years a trend has developed at most colleges which has increasingly shifted the main tenance of dormitory discipline from stringent sets of rules to an emphasis on individual responsibility. This idea of developing order and control through more personal freedom rather than more discipline constitutes a healthy and mature approach to a problem which should be non-existent.

Unfortunately the lot of the campus resident at P . C . is not improving fast enough. One area of the campus resi dent program which needs improvement is the student prefect system. T h e necessity of the existence of such a program is not in question. T h e question concerns just what the role of the prefect should be in relation to the students on his floor.

The student prefect system this year seems to be a greater burden to both students and prefects. T h e role of the prefect should be that of a councelor and friend to the students on his floor. This image of the prefect however is being

lost through a sort of police type bur eaucracy instituted for efficiency. P r e fects are now expected to remain on their floors f r o m 7:30 P . M . to 6 A . M . on weekdays unless they have official permission to be absent. E a c h week they must submit a report to the office of the Director of Residence and to their Rector and faculty prefects concerning individual students and u n usual occurrences among other things. This policing by the prefects is an insult to the matur i ty of the students on their floor and is unpleasant for both prefect and student. Such duty is a definite burden to the student prefect who must sacrifice free time and assume great responsibility for a meager salary of ten dollars weekly

It would be of great benefit to both prefect and student i f the duties and amounts of time demanded of the prefects were relaxed and their salaries raised to a level commensurate with their responsibility. T h e atmosphere of a dormitory floor should be one of m u tual trust and harmony brought about by the exercise of individual responsibility and consideration for others. T h e prefect must promote this condition by personal contact and example not by being a disciplinarian.

Women on Faculty It seems strange that the absence

of women from the undergraduate school faculty of Providence College was so little questioned in the past. F o r tunately, the need to debate the issue i n the future has been precluded by the Committee on Academic R a n k and Tenure.

We commend the Committee for approving the applications of three women, the first to teach undergraduate courses here. A t the same time we welcome M r s . Roland Folter (German) , M r s . Carlos M . Angulo (Spanish) and Miss Roseanne Vaire, a graduate assis

tant in the E n g l i s h Department, to the Providence College community.

D r . Paul v a n K . Thomson, V i c e President for Academic A f f a i r s and chairman of the committee, has said qualifications, and not sex, are the determining factors in the acceptance of faculty members. It is not inconceivable that a nun or religious brother will be on the faculty in the future, he said.

W e view the committee's at t i tude— and more especially, its recent a c t i o n — as a sign of the growth Providence Col lege is now undergoing.

F R O M THE EDITOR Another academic year is upon us. On behalf of The Cowl staff, I extend a warm wel

come to the College community, with hope that the summer break has proven profitable and that a successful year lies ahead for a l l .

Unfortunately a situation has arisen that necessitates the beating of an old drum, namely apathy.

In recent years the topic of campus conversation has been the lack of a fall sport to fi l l the void before the basketball season starts. Nevertheless, as in the case of the weather, there was much talk and little action.

Last Fall however, several interested students initiated a drive to establish a Club Football program. Club Football is a student managed organization which receives no f inancial assistance from the College. In order to assure success for the program, it was essential that the Football Club procure $10,000 in capital . Because of this seemingly insurmountable obstacle, several camps, including the College administrat ion and an element of the Sports Department of a local newspaper viewed the project as a farce. Despite such odds, the Football Club has had the last laugh. Various fund raising projects have made Club Football a reality at Providence College.

It now appears that the administrat ion is trying to save face by tossing another obstacle into the path of success. Approximately sixteen football players have been effected by the refusal of the Dean's Off ice to make schedule revisions for individuals who have a conf l ict between their class schedules and practice sessions. The argument presented by the administration is that schedule adjustments are made only for varsity athletic clubs. Whi le it is true that Club Football is not a varsity sport, consideration should be given to the fact that the Football Club is an intercollegiate program under the sanction of the N C A A , and that unlike intramural clubs, the Football Club represents the College as a whole, and should be treated accordingly. It is too much to ask for some cooperation from the administration?

Fr. Cunningham Announces New Disciplinary Regulations

Fr . John Cunningham, O.P., Director of Residence, has an

nounced that as of Monday, Sept. 25, the curfew for all resident seniors is abolished. This Change in Residence Hall Regulations is granted under two basic conditions.

1) If the senior plans to stay overnight, he must inform his student prefect of his whereabouts.

2) Upon returning after 11 p.m. he must be quiet, for the benefit of others.

Along with these two conditions, this senior privilege is to be held on a trial basis for two periods. The first wi l l extend until Nov. 1, at this lime the Director of Residence wil l issue a "Progress Report." If the two basic conditions have been met satisfactorily, the second trial period wi l l be allowed. This period wi l l extend to Dec. 1, if it is satisfactory, the senior privileg* wi l l continue on an "open end" basis for the remainder of the year.

Fr . Cunningham also issued a statement of F r . Hass' concerning the proper decorum expected of the P C student by the College.

"This institution is dedicated to the cause of higher education and insists upon that decorum which manifests the seriousness of this undertaking. It therefore does not tolerate con duct and attire which is eecen trie, unmanly, and demeaning In interpreting these value it accepts as reasonably valid those norms of good form which obtain in the business and professional society of mature men. on the principle that such good form is not inimical to the expression of personal freedom and style. As an extension of its higher educational responsibilities PC claims the right to insit upon mature conformance to those norms and interprets the enrollment of any student as an expression of his free acceptance of them."

Fr. Cunningham felt that well groomed beards and mustaches would not conflict with this statement. He went on to say

that iny individual facutly member would be able to interpret the meaning ol "wel l groomed" and refer cases to the Director of Student Affairs.

P. C. Band Shifts Emphasis

The Providence College band wi l l shift emphasis this year from activity at sporting events and public functions to work in the concert area. To acquire members of the quality needed for concerts, the band is conducting a drive to attract serious musicians.

Last year, the band presented a concert at the Freshman Parents Conference and wi l l continue this year with a program of concerts. Mr. Joseph Conte, director of the band, hopes that the band wi l l become a cultural asset to the college in the future. For the coming year, Mr. Conte has planned several concerts, one of which wi l l be preceding Christmas. In addition to these concerts, the band wi l l continue their function at home basketball, hockey, and football games.

Mr. Conte is an alumnus of Boston University and has studied music at the Langy School of Music in Cambridge, Rhode Island College, and the Uni versity of New Hampshire. He presently serves as concert master of the R. I. Philharmonic Orchestra, the R. I. Youth Orchestra, the Eastern Connecticut Symphony, and the St. Xavier High School Band. For the coming year, Mr. Conte has named Dennis Perrino as band commander and Michel Carter as executive officer, both seniors.

Membership in the band is open to al l students and not restricted to those in the R. O. T. C. program. Those interested in joining the band or obtaining further information may contact Mr. Conte any Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. in Donnelly Hal l .

4 THE COWL, SEPTEMBER 27, 1967

L e t t e r s t o t h e E d i t o r Dean's List Released For Past Semester

Dear Editor : As alumni of Providence Col

lege, it saddened us to read about the puerile and surreal fiasco staged recently by the administration because of their taste in student hair. The problems the student faces i n and out of the classroom are great enough, and it is a patent waste of much intellectual and emotional energy to focus attention on the length of someone's hair, a condition that should be one of individual choice and which has absolutely nothing to do with the exchange of information or the broadening of perspectives. (Nor does the length of one's hair have anything to do with highway mishaps though operating under severe stress often does.)

The administration once again revealed that it cannot distinguish between substance and accident, and that i t pledges its first allegiance not to the student and his integrity as a human person but to opinions of the interviewer from I B M and the man on the street. What, oh what, w i l l our image be? We say, who cares? Men educated i n a free and vital atmosphere cannot help but to reflect favorably on their college's worth.

Graduates from Columbia, Harvard, etc., have not had any trouble distinguishing themselves i n a l l fields. Some—and this should cheer the administration—are captains of industry and titans of finance. A n d some of their classmates even had beards. It should be kept in mind that there are many distinguished scholars who could not now secure teaching positions at Providence College because of the administration's hirsute hang-up.

The P C student must learn what the unions learned long ago and what black people and other students are now learning: freedom does not descend from above but springs from within. Petitions that land i n pigeon holes and grievances aired through "proper channels" only to crash against dead-ends accomplish nothing, though they create i n the mind of the supplicant the i l lusion that the defender of the status quo is bargaining with h i m i n good faith.

The student w i l l have his rights not when he asks for them but when he asserts them; along with this the student must realize that what can happen to one of his peers can happen to himself just as easily. It should be clear that crew-cut and longhair, left, right, and center—all have common cause.

The administration must be told i n no uncertain terms: "Hands off the student press, hands off the controversial professor, and he l l no, we ' l l let i t grow!"

Sincerely yours, Stephen J . Fortunate, J r . , '65 Francis Carlet, '65

Dear Editor : I am writ ing this note hoping

that you w i l l print it i n one of your issues. It is almost two months now since I left P.C. and I have just started to experience the feeling of nostalgia. In the 18 months that I spent on the P.C. campus, I came to love that place, what it stands for and the people (stu

dents, faculty and administration) that make it a l iv ing reality.

One cannot really appreciate the greatness of an experience unti l that experience blends in with what we term "memories" and freed from the pressure of everyday reality it gets the chance to be studied, and relived as a thing of the past. Wel l , one of the greatest experiences of my life as a young instructor has been that of teaching at and l iv ing on the campus of Providence College.

I often had remarked in my classroom discussions that the students could not really grasp the meaning of their education unti l after they left the halls of their Academy and found themselves struggling to exist in

what we sociologists term the "20th century urbanized society." A t this point I am sure that P.C. equips its students in the best manner possible for such a struggle for noble, and dignified existence.

I w i l l appreciate your conveying my sincere greetings to the administration, my fellow faculty members and the student body. I assure them that I hold very fond memories from my work at P.C.

Mr. Zygmunt Friedemann Spends Summer in China

During this past summer, Mr . Zygmunt Friedemann, head of the Pol i t i ca l Science Department, spent eight weeks observing and l iving among the people of Nationalist China.

M r . Friedemann was one of fifteen participants in a seminar sponsored by the Anthropology Dept. of Columbia University and the U . S . Dept. of Education. The purpose of the seminar was to learn first hand about Chinese civilization and Chinese society.

"To be able to learn the polit ical behavior of the people ," said M r . Friedemann, " i t is necessary to learn the social behavior of the people. This is not a new approach, but i t is becoming more ref ined."

Another reason for the seminar, according to M r . Friedemann, was to encourage more Americans to go into Chinese studies. It is believed that our scholarship in the study of China has just started to develop and more Americans are needed in this important f ield.

M r . Friedeman stated that the thirteen mi l l i on native Tai wanese are deeply resentful towards the mainland Chinese who dominate the top positions of government. This resentment is subdued, however, because of the economic progress which the country has undergone.

"The government has performed an 'economic m i r a c l e , ' " M r . Friedemann said. "The economy is self-sustaining, there is no hunger, and such things as fruit, rice, pineapples, and canned fruits are exported.

Corruption and absentee-landlordism have been eliminated and the distribution of land has reduced tenancy."

The improvement of the

economy has created some problems, however. Although land reforms have been instituted, the plots are too small for efficient production. It has also contributed to the undermining of the traditional values of family life. Many young people in the rura l areas are leaving the farms and going to cities.

Lack of housing and the development of shanty towns have helped to create problems of underemployment and rampant prostitution.

M r . Friedemann slated that the best term to describe the government of Nationalist China is "police state." To show this, Mr . Friedemann offered the following example: "Everyday at nine o'clock workers disappear and go to production conferences which are r e a l l y propaganda meetings. They a l l read l itt le 'bibles' which contain the writings of Sun Yat-sen, and then listen to what Chiang K a i -shek has to say on the subject."

There is l i t t le democracy i n the government. The people do not vote for President or for any Assembly, but many of the peasant organizations, such as those for the planting and collecting of crops, elect their own leaders. This shows that a l though there is a police state at the top of the governmental structure, there is some democracy on the bottom.

M r . Friedemann believes that Chiang is trying to recapture some past glories by perpetuating traditions, but because of the e c o n o m i c development which he has begun the changes are coming anyway.

" B y engaging economic development," said M r . Friedemann, "some new changes are Indirectly engendered. A new society, different from the traditional one, is being formed whether Chiang wants it or not."

Placemen t Office Provides Many Benefits to Students

By " B U T C H " F L A H E R T Y A visit to the Placement Of

fice on opening day found Ray Thibeault and Maria Togneri, his secretary, processing the many applications of Seniors who were queued up at the counter. In a matter of but a few hours, over 150 students had registered and thus became eligible to benefit from the fu l l range of services offered.

"This enthusiastic and unprecedented response," said Thi beault, "may well change the idea that P C men are apathetic. These men clearly demonstrated that they are concerned; are looking ahead and are doing something about it now." Thi beault points out that last year 54% of the Senior class registered and the majority reported in a follow-up summary they received "substantial assistance." He is confident that the class of '68 w i l l not only surpass that record, but could even approach the "unattainable" goal of 100%.

The red tape of registration with the Placement Office has been slashed to but a single sheet that can be filled out in minutes. The office handles the rest.

As an innovation, career planning conferences are slated for October, and these w i l l attempt to approach an old problem in a new way. These conferences w i l l aid seniors in answering the question, "After graduation what"?

"Seniors," Thibeault added, "may be even more concerned with just getting started in some field let alone planning ahead to an outstanding career." To dispel some of these doubts, and in particular to introduce the undergraduates to his program, he has added a new dimension to his career counseling program this year.

As a highlight of the second annual Career Planning Confer-

mediately appoint a recreation committee, which w i l l actually work with the Administration in the management of the Student Union."

One of the first tasks of this committee, Mr . Newton indicated, is to consider what type of stereo system and records should be purchased for the Music Room. Another task would be to coordinate, with the Student Affairs office, such programs as guest days and the use of the two conference rooms which are provided for various meetings, etc.

ences, Thibeault has invited 10 recent graduates, some from last year's graduating class and none more than five years out of P C , to speak to upper classmen at two of the six fal l orientation sessions.

The Alumni w i l l simply tell of their experiences before and since graduation. Their doubts about what they wanted to do, their intentions, successful and unsuccessful, and finally what they are doing now.

"Almost daily," Thibeault

says, "men drop in or write to tell me how much their attendance at last year's Conferences has effected them in the choice of their careers."

One of the functions of a liberal arts college is to allow a young man to develop and to find himself. In this connection Mr. Thibeault suggests that a man does himself a disservice i f he fails to take advantage of al l the services offered by the College. The time for decision is now.

Lt. Col. Lawrence V. Troiano Heads Professor Post at PC

Big Brothers to Hold 1st Meeting

On Thursday, September 28, at 6:30 p.m., the Providence College Youth Guidance Organization w i l l hold its first general meeting of the year in Aquinas Lounge. Both old members and those freshmen and upper-classmen wishing to join for the first time are invited to attend.

The club is open to al l students of the college who are sincerely interested in being a "big brother" to a child l iving at the O'Rourke Children Center. The only qualification for membership in the club is faithfulness to your " l i tt le brother."

The center is a state institution for children up to the age of sixteen, who, for one reason or another have become temporary wards of the state of Rhode Island.

B ig brothers are expected to visit their little brothers at least once a week, acting the role of a non-professional friend.

Entail ing a t r e m e n d o u s amount of responsibility, membership in the club also offers the student a chance to participate in the group activities, projects and traditions of the most worthwhile club on campus.

Lt . Col. Lawrence V. Troiano, a graduate of City College of New York, has been named to succeed retired Lt . Col. Andrew Del Corso as Professor of M i l i tary Science at Providence College.

Col. Troiano returns to PC after an absence of three years. He formerly held the same post from 1959 to 1964. He has since been assigned to the First Army headquarters for two years and spent the past year in Korea with the Eighth Army headquarters. Currently he resides with his family in Cranston R. I.

Upon receiving his commission in 1940, Col. Troiano attended Basic Officers Course at Ft . Benning, Georgia and the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Ft. Roberts, California. He then served as a company commander with the 76th infantry division and in 1944 was assigned to the China Theater headquarters. After three years overseas, Col. Troiano served as an Army Reserve advisor in Chicago before returning to the Far East in 1950 at the onset of the Korean conflict.

From Korea he was transferred to Japan where he was Operations Officer in a military intelligence group. After leaving Japan he served as Battalion Commander and Division Staff Officer in the 8th Infantry D i vision in the United States and in Germany, from which assignment he first came to Providence College.

In his 27 years of service, Col. Troiano has received the following decorations: the Bronze Star Medal (two awards) and the Army Commendation Medal (three awards).

Joining Col. Troiano this year as Assistant Professors of M i l i tary Science are Captains Thomas J . Foley, Art i l lery , U . S . Army, Harold V . Floody, Art i l l ery , U . S. Army, and Capt. Charles McLaughlin, Armor, U . S. Army.

Capt. Foley is a 1959 graduate of St. Peter's College, Jersey City, New Jersey. He has seen duty at Ft . Riley, Kansas, Ft . Wainwright, Alaska, and more recently in Vietnam. A recipient of the Bronze Star for valor on two different occasions and the Purple Heart, Capt. Foley accumulated more than 550 hours flying time with the 1st Cavalry, A i r Mobile in Vietnam.

Captains Floody and McLaughlin, 1961 graduates of PC, have also distinguished themselves in combat. Former stu

dents under L t . Col. Troiano, they have both seen action in Vietnam. Capt. McLaughlin earned the Bronze Star for valor and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry while stationed in Da-Nang as an advisor for the 4th Cavalry squadron. Capt. Floody has oeen awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation's second highest award for heroism, as well as the Purple Heart.

Shriver Speaks At U.F. Dinner

R. Sargent Shriver, director of the war on poverty, spoke here at Providence College last week on behalf of the United Fund.

Sargent Shriver stated that the unsettled times in this country demand new commitments "to solve human problems," and he needled Congress for failing to support old commitments.

He went on to indict Congress for "cutting everything and not expanding anything" on the domestic front at a time when "the violence on the street is exceeded only by the violence on television."

Speaking in Alumni Hal l , Mr. Shriver told the 800 guests who attended the United Fund dinner that the Office of Economic Opportunity has asked Congress to appropriate 2.06 bill ion dollars to continue the war on poverty.

"The country's legislators don't want any more riots," said Mr. Shriver, "but, I'm sorry to say, Congress is not too keen about appropriating money."

Mr. Shriver also stated that neither the government nor money alone can win the war on poverty.

"It's going to take a total effort by people. We've got to get out into the parks and playgrounds and into the ghettos ourselves, and then do what's needed ourselves," he said.

Mr. Shriver told the dinner gathering that he is proud of progress in the war on poverty, and he said part of the credit must go to "our burgeoning business economy."

He also stated that before the war on poverty started only 70,000 Negroes moved out of the poverty income brackets annually. Since the government program began, the yearly figure has jumped to 600,-000.

Editor 's Note: The following is the text of F r . Haas' speech delivered at the Mass of the Holy Spirit celebrated earlier this week. The Mass and Convocation are traditional in beginning the academic year at the College. The Most Rev. Bernard M . K e l l y , Aux i l i a ry Bishop of Providence, officiated at the Mass.

We are a l l here for a purpose. This institution was established for a purpose. I wonder, however, just how much we as individuals actually aspire to the same objectives. To find out whether we do indeed have any firm bond of unity that brings a l l together as intelligent and honest men i n a common effort, let me suggest that you ask yourselves some questions.

Why are you here at Provi dence College rather than serving in the Peace Corps i n India? Why aren't you working in a factory or garage? Why aren't you fighting in Vietnam or working with SNCC? Why aren't you in j a i l protesting the draft—or just home combing your hair?

To put the question differently: Did you personally choose to attend Providence College because you were burning with a desire to pursue the noblest truth or to prepare for a life of service to mankind.

Could you possibly be here because you simply want to be able to earn more money as a college graduate and this is an inexpensive way to do it?

Could you be here because you were afraid to stand up to your parents and say: " N o , I w i l l not go to college."

A r e you trying to dodge the draft? Try ing to avoid working for a l iv ing for as long as you can?

Could you be running away from the responsibilities of adulthood by playing the "college boy."

Whenever you discover the answers to these questions, you w i l l discover your common purpose and therefore discover your strongest bond of unity, and in that unity you w i l l discover your strength as a force in society. Y o u w i l l also discover whatever it is that we al l —administration, faculty, and students—have i n common.

Y o u know what I think. We are a l l here for a l l of these reasons, noble and ignoble. We al l know the same cowardice, avarice, selfishness, as wel l as the same, i f t imid , generosity and high purpose. I suspect that our motives are as mixed as those of the first followers of Christ, who wisely never made perfect motivation the prerequisite for helping another. We at Providence College dare not be more demanding than He was. We must be wi l l ing as educators to accept you as you are Let us not lie to ourselves. We are not here only for the most noble purpose of pursuing the truth and serving mankind, though that purpose guides us l ike a beacon vaguely seen through the fog.

One radical trouble with people i n higher education is that they begin to believe i n their own rhetoric and statements of ideals. We are here because every human impulse, good, bad and indifferent, drew us here.

I believe that the most important object of study should be this very ambivalence. When we have the focus to see this and the courage to admit the truth about ourselves, we shall get our first glimpse of the truth about ourselves, we shall get our first glimpse of the truth about society—municipal, state, national and worldwide. The same forces of contradiction which rend society into factions and contentions pu l l us as individuals in the same opposite directions. There are ghettos in cities because there are ghettos i n the minds and hearts of men. There are many corners where we w i l l not allow any light; there are many walls that no one shall ever cross; there are many limits beyond which we w i l l not go because we are afraid or uncomfortable. But it is the truth about ourselves that we fear most of a l l . The college serves society best when i t probes these inner secrets which it does in every discipline when humanely taught.

There are many things worth learning in college and many skills to be acquired, but how foolish to pass up the opportunity to scratch the surface of mankind within us. One can study man in two ways, by looking inwardly and by looking outwardly. When one looks intensely inwardly one finds this melange I was speaking of and under it a l l the fantastic possibi l i ty of greatness even in the confusion. When one looks outwardly one is drawn further and further into the great mysteries of being and ultimately to the question of God. It is in this tug of war, in this tension, that man becomes intelligent and free. By that I mean that one becomes intelligent and free when he is not deceived by the surfaces of things, such surfaces as the color of a man's skin, the price tag, the college

Pershing Rifles Sponsors Schools

Providence College's P E R S H I N G R I F L E S unit, Company K-12, began its year's activities by holding its annual Non-commissioned Officer's school from September 5-9. The purpose of the school is to train the sophomore members in order to qualify them to instruct the in coming freshmen. The participants in the school were trained in d r i l l and field instruction, mil itary leadership, the duties and responsibilities of a noncommissioned officer, small unit tactics, and mil itary customs and traditions. The school was supervised by 2LT Donald Rehm arid 1SG John Robitaille.

On Wednesday, September 13, Company K held its annual Smoker for the purpose of recruiting new members. Speakers included the Professor of Mil i tary Science, L T C Troiano; the Company's Commanding Officer, C P T Gerald F . Di l l on ; and the D r i l l Team Commander, 2LT John J . Cassidy. A movie of the Company's activities was shown, after which refreshments were served. The pledge period is now underway, and pledge candidates are more than welcome to join.

It is so easy to deal with the surface of reality. It takes a certain kind of training to do this and many institutions spe-calize in this. It's important, too. But this institution has chosen to pursue in addition to that st i l l another direction, toward the inner secrets of man and the outer thrust of his intelligence.

When al l of us discover this as our common purpose, we w i l l discover our real unity. We w i l l not become saints and wisemen overnight, but we wi l l become honest men with understanding of our common weaknesses and our common potentiality for good.

The world is a highly organized and institutionalized place. Even hippiedom has its uniforms, medals, territories, journals, ethics and language. The only protection we have as in dividuals against the dehumani-zation of the institution is that someone knows and loves us.


DO PRIESTS • Cut Ribbons at Civic Affairs? • Wrestle with Bookkeeping? • Balance the Budget? • Shuffle Papers? Let's face it. There are some things that have to be done. In that we differ from no other priest.

But — the Paulist feels he can rise above the everyday tasks that must be done. Because he is an individual and is treated accordingly, he is free to develop his own innate talents to achieve his goals. Individuality is the keynote of the Paulists. We depend on the individual to make his own unique contribution. We welcome it. We all profit by it.

The Paulist is a modem man, free from stifling formalism, a pioneer in using contemporary mediums and techniques to be of service to God and man.

If you are interested in making a greater contribution with your life as a priest write to the Paulists today for a special aptitude test designed to help determine if you are of priestly caliber.

Convocation. (Continued from Page 1)

Funny how much it seems out of place these days to suggest that an essential principle of education is love and understanding. We start here with the humanity we bear within us.

The real object of a liberal education is the study of that very mystery of human confusion in which glibness coexists with eloquence, cleverness with intelligence, vulgarity with simplicity, blind fear with faith, arrogance with humility, veneer with culture and sensuality with sensitivity.

The two great enemies of this ideal of honest self-understanding are cynicism and pride. The cynic can only see the evil and the proud can only see good in himself. This is as true of us as individuals as it is of us as members of groups. You wi l l see evidence of it in administration, faculty and students wherever you look. What makes an administration over-regulate and control is the assumption that only it possesses wisdom. What turns a faculty sour is the feeling that students are too lazy or dishonest to be worth their best efforts. What makes students suspicious and defiant is the conviction that power must be wrested from the hands of tyrants. A n d you can be quite certain that this cynicism or arrogance where it exists w i l l be carried out into society by students in the same way that it can deteriorate every structure within an institution when it exists i n administration and faculty.

Expanded Objectives Goal Of Dillon Club

In a recent interview, Frank Esposito, President of the D i l lon Club, stated that the objectives of the club have been expanded to encompass more fully the varying interests of the commuting student.

The Di l lon Club kicks off its sporting year with registration for its intramural football team. A l l those interested in participating should register in the A l u m n i H a l l Cafeteria or in the Di l lon Club office in Donnelly H a l l . Following football, the Dil lon Club w i l l sponsor a hockey and basketball team. The hockey team made its startling debut last year by almost winning the league championship. Registration and try-out dates w i l l be posted at a later date on the Di l lon Club bulletin board in A l u m n i H a l l .

Besides sports, the club also sponsors a Tutorial Program in conjunction with the Providence Public and Parochial School Systems. Those students interested i n helping should register at the places previously mentioned.

He also stated that the social calendar for the year was successfully started with the Psychedelic Happening last Friday night. A t this time, two more activities are planned for the upcoming months. The club w i l l hold a Boatride on October 21 and a Thanksgiving Dance on November 22.

Mr . Esposito concluded by saying that a l l those interested in joining the club should register in A l u m n i H a l l cafeteria or in the Dil lon Club office in Donnelly H a l l .

But this shall not happen here because we shall not forget what we are as men. We wil l not put aside the ultimate questions in favor of superficial solutions to society's i l ls , however grave. We shall give no less of ourselves here and now to serve our fellowman for having smashed the wall of our inner ghettos. The capacity for true

self-giving comes only after we have seen ourselves for what we are and measured our feeble efforts against the generosity of God Himself. Society wi l l always need men who are honest about themselves, who claim no superiority over their fellow-man because they are intelligent enough to know what it is to be a man and to stand in some honest relationship to God.

Finanical Aid Program Proposed by Educators

(Editor's Note: With the increase in the cost of quality education and the subsequent effect of higher tuition payments becoming an in creasingly serious burden to all students and particularly the students of Providence College, The Cowl feels periodic publication of new financial aid programs would be of interest and benefit to the student body.)

Ear l ier this month a report was published in Washington by a panel of Presidential ad visers calling for the creation of an educational opportunity bank to permit students to f i nance the fu l l cost of their college education against a pledge to repay out of their future earning over a period of 40 years.

The authors of the proposal said that they were asking not for a loan program but for " a device for enabling students to sell participation shares in their future incomes

They said the plan would give students greater responsi bility by eliminating dependence on their parents or others for a "free ride through college." A t the same time, they added, it would give under privileged students a chance to attend any college that admits them, without having to ask for charity first.

If established as an agency of the Federal Government, the bank would borrow funds at the going rates, but it might also be augmented by direct Congressional grants.

A student would be able to borrow up to the fu l l cost of his education, including tuition subsistence and fees, at any undergraduate institution, public or private, that had admittec him.

Dr. Jerrold R. Zacharias, chairman of the Panel on Educational Innovation, which proposed the financing program said that the bank would in no way serve as a substitute for existing support programs of public or private higher education.

He stressed that even stu dents attending low-cost or tu i tion free public institutions must find the money to cover l iv ing expenses and other costs, estimated at between $1,000 and $5,000 a year.

It is estimated that the bank would become self-sustaining i f it charged students 1 per cent of gross income over 30 years for every $3,000 borrowed. F o r example, a student who borrowed $2,000 a year for four years, or a total of $8,000, and earned $10,000 in some subsequent year would repay $266 along with his income tax b i l l in that year.

To protect those who rapidly attain exceptionally high in comes, the plan would have an option to withdraw by paying in a lump sum, the amount borrowed, plus interest compounded at 6 per cent, with credit for earlier payments.

Exist ing college loan plans generally are limited to $5,000 for four years and require repayment withi na fixed period, usually 10 years or less.

The panel proposal said that the bank would:

Enable every student to go to an institution suited to his need

and ability regardless of his financial situation.

Increase the number of students from low-income families attending college.

Help both public and private institutions to improve the quality of education by charging tuition closer to the ful l cost of education without government interference.

Provide relief for middle-income families, many of whom cannot afford to send several children to high cost universities.

Reduce the disparities in opportunity for students from rich and poor states.

The report said: "No student borrower would have to worry about a large debt he could not repay. If he entered a low-income calling, or were unsuccessful in a normally affluent one, his obligation to the bank would decrease proportionately to his income for that period.

"Indeed, if a borrower's i n come fel l below a certain level, e.g., because of illness, his obligation for the year might even be completely forgiven."

Instead of having to select a college within commuting distance, such students for whom a widening of horizons is particularly beneficial could af-lord to study away from home, it added.

It cited the advantages of making more students responsible for their own education, the panel charged that the present system "tends to prolong adolescence" by making students financially dependent for their studies into their twenties.

"Most students regard higher education as something which somebody else gives them, rather than something they have to get for themselves," the report said.

The panel members besides Dr. Zacharias were Frederick Burkhardt, president of the American Counci l of Learned Societies; Andrew M . Gleason, mathematician at Harvard U n i versity; Jacqueline Greenan, president of Webster College in St. Louis ; John Hawkes, Department of Engl ish at Brown University; George G. Stern, Department of Psychology at Syracuse University, and John M . Mays, of the Office of Science and Technology in the Executive Office of the Presi dent.

Strong opposition to the proposal was almost immediate in coming by the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges and the Association of State Colleges and Universities.

In a joint statement, these organizations called the plan a "Pandora's box of ill-considered, obsolete and contradictory ideas" and charged that its i n tent was to let society "abandon responsibility for the higher education of its young people and shift the cost to the students."

The statement went on to say "that in this most affluent nation in the world's history" the panel asked "the less affluent to sign a life-indenture in return for the privilege of educa-

Hightlights of '66-'67 Varsity Athlete Season

Success, disappointment, happiness and gloom, a l l of these characterized the 1966-1967 athletic season at Providence College. Basketball, cross-country and golf a l l came through with rewarding results.

With the incomparable A l l -American J i m Walker leading the way, the Fr iars rol led to a 21-7 record and their ninth consecutive 20 game season under Coach Joe Mullaney. They received their fifth N.I.T. bid in addition to an invitation to defend their Holiday Festival crown. In the Festival, the Friars again copped the title, as they downed Duquesne, 82-55; Northwestern, 91-79; and the Hawks of St. Joe's, 82-76. To the surprise of none, "the Walk" became the first i n the history of the tourney to win two consecutive M V P awards.

The N.I.T. saw the Friars matched up with the Tigers of Memphis State i n round one. After a slow first half P.C. began to click and came out on top, 77-68. With Marquette, time ran out. The F r i a r F ive staged a series of spectacular comebacks, overcoming 11 point deficits, only to lose in overtime 81-80.

The Cross-Country team, under the leadership of the now departed senior co-captains, Paul Harris and A l Campbell, compiled a record of nine wins against one setback in six meets. Bright spots of the season were the E I C A A , the New England's, IC4A's and the N C A A . In the E I C A A the harriers finished first in a field of 15. A t Franklin Park in Boston they took first place in the N.E. 's . In the last two they finished 11th and 20th. in that order.

For the golfers, 1966-67 was another in a string of successes. In losing only one contest the linksters were again recognized as the best i n the East. They proved to al l in the New Eng-lands that they were indeed the best, as they beat favored U.R.I, with a four player score of 622 to their opponents 626. Jack Smyth won the individual title with a 151, while team

mate Dave Adamonis finished with a 152.

In other varsity sports, hockey experienced its second consecutive losing season while the baseball team managed to halt the tailspin of the previous season.

From a bril l iant 1964-65 season which saw an E C A C bid, the pucksters have been sliding downhill . This year could see some improvement with help from last year's frosh team

which won 10 games and tied three.

The baseball nine did a turnabout of sorts as they came from a 6-15 record in 1966 to a more respectable, 7-7.

Two new additions to the fall scene this season are club football and club soccer. Both are just getting off the ground and are welcome additions to what used to be a void around this time of year.

Freshmen Thinclads Lose To Crimson Tide, 25-33

The Freshmen cross-country team lost their opening meet last Saturday to Harvard by the score of 25 to 33. The Freshmen gave Harvard a good battle for 2% miles, but ran out of gas in the last half mile. They also suffered some bad luck when P h i l McMurray who was seventh in the race at the time was forced out with severe stomach cramps after about 2Vz miles. The Freshmen were led by Christ Shultz who finished second. Other finishers were Ron Loughlin (4th), Joe Dela-

Molloy, and the thirty-seven second team balance between the first and fifth men. The rest of the team was a disappointment in this opening meet. This is a stronger team than last season's, and it should be able to rebound next Saturday against A r m y at West Point. This meet w i l l be a quadrangular affair with Rutgers University and Central Connecticut also participating. The Friars w i l l be out to avenge a one point loss to A r m y last year, and also to become the first Providence team to beat Army in cross-country in five years.

ney (5th), John Romosco (10th), and Brian Woelfel (12th).

The Freshmen are strong in their fist three men, but must get a fourth and fifth man that can be up there if they hope to have a winning season. L ike the varsity, the Freshmen wi l l be looking for their first victory next Saturday in a quadrangular meet against Army Rutgers, and Central Connecticut at West Point.

FROM

THE

SPORTSDESK B y P E T E R M E A D E

On behalf of the entire sports staff of the C O W L , I wish to welcome the class of 1971 to Providence College and extend our greetings, to the ardent sports fans that follow us from Wednesday to Wednesday throughout the year.

A s you all know our primary objective is to present the sports news each week as accurately and interestingly as possible. The major sports of each season of the year will receive a great deal of emphasis as should be expected, and the intramurals will occupy a similar place of prominence as the C O W L is a paper dedicated to student news as well as to that news found on the administrative level.

W i t h the advent of A u t u m n this year, we have observed the refusal of New England's own, the Boston Red Sox, to wilt under the tremendous pressure of the torrid American League pennant race. This , combined with the titanic clashes on the football field between the highly skilled players of both the American and National Football Leagues, has served to dominate the headlines on every sports page across the country. N o other news could possibly stand an even chance as exemplified in the case of the Providence College football story.

Last year P C Club Football had little trouble in finding the headlines, a fact which resulted in a splendid show of support. This F a l l , with publicity very difficult to obtain, the football team has been training with little fanfare as it prepares to open against New Haven College on the 6th of October.

Season tickets are now on sale at a cost of $3 per person. This bargain will enable the student to see all three home games at a price that is half of the general admission. Tickets bought at the game will cost $2 per person with no student rates being offered at the gate. The suggestion here is that each student buy a season's ticket and take advantage of this discount offer. Club Football representatives are currently selling these tickets in Alumni Hal l during the day, and in Raymond Hal l during the dinner hour. Tickets will be on sale up until next Fr iday , October 5th.

This Friday , September 29, the football squad will scrimmage against the Brown University freshmen at Brown. A l l who have the chance should take advantage of this opportunity to get a preview of the F r i a r s in action.

The opening meet loss which the F r i a r harriers suffered last Saturday at the hands of Harvard could mark the beginning of a long cross-country season for Coach Hanlon and his thinclads. Hi t hard by graduation, a squad does not replace the ability of a Paul Harris or an A l Campbell very easily.

Leading the F r i a r s this year are co-captains Dan Gaven and L a r r y Olsen. Junior Bob Crooke who had an excellent season last fall has returned, but has been hampered with a foot injury and is not yet in top condition. Pete Brown is another successful returnee.

After these four men, first expectations were that the Fr iars would have no depth. Yet , against Harvard , sophomore Marty Robb finished first for P C and fifth overall for the meet. This pleasant surprise did not make losing any easier, but the future appeared a bit more optimistic after Robb's performance. Chances are that with the veteran four of Brown, Gaven, Olsen and Crooke regaining their 1966 form, along with a series of excellent efforts on the part of Robb and the rest of the squad, the 1967 season will not be as long as anticipated.

W D O M announced today that V i n Papi and Paul D i Gangi will broadcast the three home games currently scheduled for Club Football . If costs are not too prohibitive they will also broadcast the three away games.

Club Football Debuts Against Brown Frosh This Coming Friday

Head Coach Dick Lynch, on the left, discusses strategy with his assistant, Chet Hanewich, as the P.C. football squad awaits its scrimmage against the Bruins at Brown this Friday.

The premiere edition of the Football Fr iars w i l l make its debut on Fr iday afternoon when it has a scrimmage with the Brown freshmen. The regular season opens a week later with a home contest against New Haven College.

For the past two weeks approximately 35 aspirants for the team have been making the trip to the newly acquired Elmhurst property for practice sessions under the able direction of Head Coach Dick Lynch and Chet Hanewich, his assistant. Hampered by lack of sufficient equipment and ground with decent footing, the team, never-

Regional Clubs Prepare For Intramural Football

The 1967 Intramural Football League w i l l commence with its fa l l extravaganza next week. Although it would be difficult for anyone to match the Ameri can League scramble, this year's team plus the history of annually tight climaxes, should come quite close.

Albertus Magnus B was victorious last year, as was expected, but were hard pressed up to the season's finale by Met B, New Haven Elms and the Beantown Bombers. Mult iple thri l ls and highlights were in abundance with each crucial game going right down to the wire. Consider the following:

Albertus Magnus, seemingly headed towards an undefeated

record, is stunned by upset-minded Western Mass. A .

The Albertus loss set the stage for their dramatic encounter with Met B, the miracle team of '66. Albertus and Met traded two touchdowns, but the overall excitement was further enhanced by the fact that the majority of the second half was played under the stars. The Mets came within inches and a finger t ip of scoring the deciding touchdown, but poor execution resulted from the pitch-black atmosphere.

The New Haven Elms , on top most of the year, lost a heartbreaking one point decision to Albertus. The Elms also came within inches of pul l ing an up-

This is just a sample of the fast action found i n the PCIAA Football League.

Harriers Fall to Harvard In Season Opener, 20 to 35

Last Saturday afternoon at F r a n k l i n Park in Boston, the F r i a r cross-country team went down to defeat at the hands of a strong Harvard squad. The Crimson's blistering early pace combined with mental mistakes by the Friars enabled them to hand the black and white a 20 to 35 defeat. This was the first loss to Harvard in three years, and the first time that they have lost to a team other than A r m y in the last three seasons

A t the finish it was Harvard taking the first four places and an easy win despite Providence getting five men in before the fifth Harvard runner who f in

ished tenth. The first F r i a r f inisher was sophomore Marty Robb in fi fth place who ran 28:46 for the 5.8 mile course. He was followed across the line by L a r r y Olsen, Tom Molloy, Bob Crooke, and Pete Brown who captured the next four places. Other runners for P.C. were John Grange (11th), Tom Dunn (14th), Dan Gaven (15th), Ray LaBonte (17th), Bob Hai le (19th), and Kevin Mirek (20th).

The only good points that could be seen i n this meet were the fine running of Sophomores Marty Robb and Tom


set, but a clutch Albertus interception chocked the E l m ral ly .

Not a l l of last year's action originated from the l ine of scrimmage. The infamous Scol-ly Longhorn-Met B free-for-all symbolized the intensity most of the players possessed during the heat of action. Obviously a sore spot to the integrity of in tramural competition, action has been taken to prevent a recurrence.

General consensus places the New Haven Elms in the role of pre-season favorites for '67. The Elms, the least affected by graduation losses, have most of their key positions f i l led by experienced and capable players. Beantown Bombers and Met B w i l l provide better than adequate competition, although their positions have not, as yet, been formalized. Then, there is always the possibility of a dark-horse candidate arising and sneaking into the top spot. The New Haven Acorns or New Jersey Club may very wel l spring a few surprises before the season concludes i n mid-November.

Providence College Intra-murals are, once again, under the experienced guidance of Mr. Peter Louthis. Louthis and the Intramural Counci l are determined to coordiate a l l the clubs into a smooth, efficiently-run league. No major rule changes have taken place, but an emphasis w i l l be placed on tighter control by the referees on actual game proceedings. A n offi c ial game w i l l be contested on a f ield measuring 70 x 40 yards. The game w i l l consist of one hand touch with six downs and unlimited forward, backward and lateral passing permitted. On the kick-off, there is to be only one forward pass. The length of one game w i l l be com posed of two 20 minute halves with four timeouts a game allowed per team.

Intramural football is just a segment of the overall point championship each club is vying for. Other f a l l activities, which w i l l be organized by the Intramural Council in an important meeting tomorrow at A l u m n i H a l l , are the single tennis tournament, a cross-country run and a track meet. Mr . Louthis is optimistic, but much of the success w i l l depend on the active participation of club representatives and the availability of competent officials.

theless, has begun to take shape. The offensive t iming is becoming sharper each day, and the defensive unit has maintained steady progress as well .

As of now there is no definite starting team, but there are a few names which are sure to be on the first line-up card. Paul Simon, a senior from New Bedford, Mass., w i l l be at one of the offensive tackle spots. His speed, size and sense make him an almost certain starter. In the backfield of the pro style offense w i l l probably by Wal ly Weeks and George McMahon. Both have good size and quick moves. The quarterback appears to be sophomore Paul McGuire , although he should have competition from a newcomer to the squad, Greg Hayward. Pau l has proved to be a good ball handler and he throws on the money. The defensive unit is led by the Robey Brothers, Paul and P h i l , and Dick Saukas.

Other names to watch are Paul Dunphy, Dick Mart in , Joe Mc Dowell , John K i n g , Mike Eagan John Champeau and J i m Mur ray.

One of the problems facini the team w i l l be the competi tion. U n l i k e a varsity sport there w i l l be some difficulty i t knowing what to expect frorr the opposition. Coach Lynch hopes to alleviate this by scout ing the opponents. This, how ever, w i l l take some doing.

In typical Providence tradi tion, this team is showing a wealth of spirit. This is evi denced by the boys who came back to school with a few extra pounds, but now, due to regu lar devotion to calisthenics, are in much better shape. Co-cap tains w i l l be elected next week, but so far it seems as i f each man has taken it upon himseli to keep the bal l rol l ing. This coupled with the talent on hand, could make the debut of Club Football a surprising one.

The Friar backs sharpen their timing on offensive plays in preparation for the long-awaited debut this Friday.

Gaven, Olsen Selected 1967 Cross-Country Co-Captains

Another F a l l sports schedule is about to start here at Provi dence College. The P.C. Crosscountry team w i l l usher i n the new year with a traditional new look.

Providence sport fans can once again look forward to a rewarding campaign. The harriers this year are led by Seniors Dan Gaven and Larry Ol sen, newly elected co-captains. Together, Olsen and Gaven give the Fr iars a strong nucleus for another championship team.

The harrier co-captains can stake one important claim to the leadership position that they have been assigned. This is experience for which there is no substitute. Olsen and Gaven both ran the cross-country schedule last year and, in the process, impressed many of their followers. Coach Hanlon labels this year's captains as "consistent point getters."

Dan Gaven, who hails from Basking Ridge, N . J . , is in his fourth season with the Fr iars . His biggest asset is his consistency. Dan placed among the top finishers in almost every meet last year. Hanlon tabs Gaven as an outstanding leader. "Gaven has the confidence and leadership we're looking for." Even more important is the experience he gained during the Among his achievements is a indoor track season last winter.

new record for the two mile relay set at Madison Square Garden.

Larry Olsen joined the Friars last year as a junior. Olsen, a transfer student from Dean Junior College, was running for the first time, his in i t ia l campaign as a F r i a r . The experience he gained last fa l l should provide a tremendous boost to the F r i a r fortunes this coming season. Olsen is the incentive type of runner. " L a r r y should give us the running 'know how' to take us through the season." With these words, Coach Hanlon best summed up the fortunes of the entire F r i a r squad.

It w i l l take a lot of work to develop a winning combination. Olsen and Gaven have a heavy burden placed on their shoulders. To a large extent, a successful campaign w i l l hinge on the dependability of this year's captains.
