Vol. XIV, No. 11 UNDERGRADUATE NEWSPAPER OF CITY COLLEGE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1953.
SFA Asks For Charter
The Executive branch of the student government postponed until next week consideration of the charter of Students For America, late yesterday after
noon. The group has been granted
permission by the national organization of Students for America to use its name, according to Murray Yavnek, president of the local group. Yavnek told OP that the City College branch of Students For America will ''follow the general principles of the national group although they could not be bound to abide by all decisions made by it.'.'
Formerly knowja as "National Collegiate Clubs for MacArthur," Students For America was founded in 1952. Bob Hunger, director, has attacked the US National Student Association sharply for alleged leftist leanings. SFA was denied a charter at Ford-ham University after attacking Steven Voykovich, former NSA Vice-President for "softness" toward Comm'uhism.
Some of the objects of the local group as stated in their charter, which was submitted to Council's Ipxec, a*"e to "promote the principal of" free-enterprise and individualism among the student body," and to "accept wholeheartedly the principle of the solvency and merits of the individual,as opposed to the anathema of a Communistic state."
The membership cards distributed by the national organization state that members must favor '"Christian principles."
957 Elects... The Class of 1957 has elected
3 Student Council members. They are Peter Sieger man, Davi$ . Newman and Edward Katz, who polled 770, 699 and 646 votes respectively in the Freshman Assembly last Tuesday and Thursday.
Norman Gelbwaks and Sheldon Scherr, who received 626 and 557 votes each, were unsuccessful candidates.
The three new reps raise the total voting membership of Student Council to thirty. Two vacancies remain on SC« bbth from the Club Senate.
SU Ball Held la Great Hall
Over two hundred and fifty-couples attended the Student Union Ball, which was held in the Great Hall Saturday night.
The crowd danced from 8 PM to 12:20 AM to the music of Leo Dryer's band, and heard President Gallagher explain how the legislation making the Student Union Building possible is being enacted.
Richard Dilvvorth, of the east "f Porgy and Bess, entcrtaincc! the gathering with songs from the hit show. Free refreshments were served at the Ball.
The dance was called "a great •̂'•cial success" by Jerry Sh-atz.
chairman of the Student Council S.-rcia! Functions Committee "Al-"̂ nigh the attendance was not «-> iarge as expected, the couples * iat. were there had a very good 1 i-e." Shstz added.
Student Council and Observa-i'On Pest were the principal spon-•̂ "•'s of the affair, which re-s -n-'bled ^ast term's successful In-^ -sural Ball.

Fee Committee Grants $400 To Student Life
The Student Faculty Fee Committee has appropriated $397 to the Department of Student Life. The money will be taken from funds collected for the Student Activities Fee, which Student Council voted two weeks ago to raise from $1.50 to $2.
The $397 will be spent by Student Life for three items: $125 for the repair of 39 typewo-iters used by student organizations, $20.iQf printing 10^000 ^cards-.to be used at parties and receptions^ and $252 for a reception for parents. . Last semester, the appropria
tion of $455 to Student Life was attacked by SC President David Silver as "shocking misuse of the students' money." At that time, it was revealed that the request for funds had not been considered by the Student Council Fee Committee. This term, according to SC Treasurer Herbert Viebrock, the SC Fee Committee did consider the appropriation.
Commenting on the approprra-tion, SC Vice President Allen Bard said "It's terrible. This
j money should definitely n o t j come from student fees." Mr. j Viebrock asked, however, '"Where ; else are they supposed to get the j funds? If a source is found, the j appropriation sTl o u 1 d not go j j through."

Chairman of the Hygiene Depart ment, Franl^ Lloyd, as a rebuttal witness for the prosecution at the resumption of the trial next Men-day.
The hearing is a result of a special Board of Higher Education investigation into basketball at the College arising out of the 1951 hoop scandal,, in which several players were proven guilty of "dumping" basketball games.
Most of the testimony of the trial has evoked around the "Sand-Warner" letter which sus-f pended coach Harold (Bobby);
On before the three-man trial committee that he favored the immediate dismissal of Sand as soon as he learned of the letter in August, 1950. He also declared that he did not disclose the contents of the letter because he "did not want to go over Lloyd's (Frank Lloyd, then chairman^ of the Hygiene Department) head."

In the earl ier days of the College, when the sole "campus ' ' w a s on Lexington Avenue and Twenty- th i rd Street, it was t radit ional for every graduat ing class to provide a gift for the College upon the fiftieth anniversary of i ts graduat ion.

Eugene O'Neill's dark picture of the unhappy world on this side of the horizon was ably repainted by Theatre Workshop last weekend. "Beyorid the Horizon," the story of two brothers and their search for happiness, is a difficult play to put on. Dealing primarily with human emotions and their outward display rather than with simple action, it would be a iough assignment for any theatrical group. And there were, certainly, imperfections in the TW production, but on the whole, it was. a truly commendable job. George Greenfield's portrayal
<:' Robert Mayo, the hapless i'armer who ruins everything he rruches, was crude in spots. But even at its worst, Mr. Greenfield's performance was far from being bad, and at times it was so real

and powerful that it rose far above the level of acting one expects to find in an amateur production.
If Irwin Fenster's performance as Andrew Mayo, the brother who seems to succeed in everything he tries, was never as inspired as
was Mr. Greenfield's at times, it was always convincipg, always superior.
The most flawless performance of the evening was Naomi Bergere's portrayal of Mrs. Atkins. Miss Bergere, a veteran of many diverse TW productions, thoroughly assumed the character of the cranky, nagging invalid. The weakest part of the pro
duction was the first act. In this act, Mr. Greenfield and Barbara Kaden were supposed to be falling in love, but they failed to communicate this emotion to the audience and their love scene was an almost bathetic affair at best.
Furthermore, the direction in the first act was stilted and unimaginative. The players seemed to be reciting memorized lines and going through carefully learned motions rather than acting, and this left the audience constantly aware that they were watching a play.
But the strength of the performances in the third act tended to make us forget ihe imperfections of the first. Here the production was almost professional. Here there was motion, power and depth. Mr. Greenfield, in particular, let himself go in this act, providing the audience with a superb and powerful picture of a man who had failed in everything and now welcomed death.
As stated above, TW's "Beyond the Horizon" was not a perfect production. But if you missed it. you really something good.

Riflers Defeqt Cooper Union And Columbia
In a triangular meet last Friday night, the City College Rifle Team defeated the Cooper Union and the Columbia t^ams. The respective scores were 1363, 1335 and 1332.
Scoring for the Musketeers were the captain of the team, John Mittier with 278 hits, Bob Simon hitting 275, Henry Broch-hagen v/ith 273, Walter Bickston striking 270 and Sol Sorbera reaching 267.
The team at the moment suffers from the loss of two of its best men; Al Moss being inel-ligible because of his grades and Harvey Inventasch because he isn't carrying enough credits. According to Captain John Miller, 'Their loss has put victories over Kings Point and St. John's out of the question," and has made beating Fordham and Brooklyn Poly Tech more difficult." He did think however that we would finish higher than fifth place in the Metropolitan League, the 'pot we held last year when the shove four teams beat the nim-j rods.
Post Notes • A "Turkey Trot" will be
held tomorrow night, from 8 to 11 PM, at the Catholic Center, 469 West 142 St. and a freshman dance will be held in Knittle Lounge, beginning at 10 PM, the Newman and Italian Clubs announced.
• The final date for the acceptance of applications for membership in Lock and Key has been extended till Monday, November 30. Applications can be secured in Rm. 120M.
Not Indigenous To 61-2 Only
Professor George Nv Garrison (Chairman, Mathematics) was quite taken aback by the notion that there is a high percentage of failures in Math 61 and 62.
Professor Garrison, an Ohio-born, bespectacled gentleman, whose graying hair betrays his 48 years, pointed out that the percentage of failures in all prescribed math courses was 11.8%. He then went to a bookcase and dug out a pile of record books of the various Math 61-62 classes of last term and proceeded to add the number of failures and the number of students in the several sections.
After a little mathematical calculation (which included two additions and a short division) he showed that only 11% of students of Math 61-62 had failed, or, if anything, less than the over-all average of all prescribed math courses.
Professor Garrison, who has been chairman of the department since July, 1952, then-pointed out sthat math failures were somewhat higher than in other Subjects because the math couises are assigned in the first term, leaving no choice.
"The entering freshman," he said, "has a choice of language and of science, but little or no choice when it aomes to math."
The professor was asked what the students might do in order to improve their work in math. He smiled, leaned forward, and advised that "in a math course the day-to-day work must be kept up. Of course a review at the end is beneficial. But students should not rely on an extensive, last-minute review."
According to Professor Garrison, the Math 61-6i2 textbook. Griffin's "Introduction to Mathematical Analysis," is rather widely used and is, in the opinion of the Math Dept., the book best fitted to the course.

Gal Hoopsters Open Practice
By BARRY WEINBERG Even in sports it 's becoming a
woman ' s world and to prove it one need only stroll to Manhattanv i l l e to watch the CCNY wom e n ' s basketbal l t eam practice.
The girls' game is somewhat different from the men's game as w e know it. The girls have six member s playing at a t ime ra ther t h a n the usual quintet . A big mid cour t line divides the court into two zones, the offensive and defensive sector. Of the six men(?) J tha t play, three a re forwards and j do all the shooting, while the o ther three are guards, playing the i r own defensive zone exclu- I sively. T h e v do the guard ing and ; on rebounds they bring the ball | to mid court where they pass it i to the forwards who try to score, j These changes tend to m a k e the \ g a m e very novel to newcomers \ watching it. i
The girls have a pre t ty rough j t ra in ing schedule to get them- i solves in shape for the season of I eiovon gair.e.?. Marguer i te G.! Wulfers is the ccach of the team ; end has been since about 1943. j
Tr. women's basketbal l the idea j is to "irh'H'c- and pass quickly" to ; get an offensive play star ted. The j p layers arc not sub.iocted to tir- ! ing c.'foris during the contests. ; a^ the eoa .h believes the g i r l s ;
shouhi be as f-esh after the game ;
as if they didn't play. Most oi the ;
seorinc is done fr;-:r. inside, b u t ' set, shots and foul shots are also ' tall ied. The average score runs ; about 25-30 points.
T h e squad has not been com- • p le ted ^s yet but yeomen service ; is expected from the five re turn-ees from last vear ' s t eam.
