Police investigate disturbance at the DAC last Saturday night
T h e D A C R u m b l e s
**I think that, in the future, we are going to have to re s tr ic t the use of this building to college- sponsored events,”
This was the reaction of Col. Lewis B. Conway, D irector of the DAC, when asked about the fights that broke out at a West Catholic High School dance held in the DAC Saturday nl^ it.
Trouble started about 9:15 when a gang of about 20 youths forced the ir way past the priests at the entrance to ttie Grand • Hall. Once inside, they began to provoke members of a rival gang until a fu ll-scale f i ^ t s ta rted .
Everyone Quickly Quieted
The Bums Guards on duty quickly stepped in and immediately quieted everyone involved.
by Paul Autenrieth
As several people entered the check-out line at the coat check, the crowd began pushing and shoving. Pushing and shoving soon led to punching and swinging and round two had begun. This time the police were called, and the mixer was declared officially over. Persons milling around the building were dispersed about 30 minutes la ter.
Troubled Past
This was the third time West Catholic rented tiie DAC for a school event. The first mixer had been held just before Christm as last year and was heavily policed. Last spring te rm ’s dance was also patrolled without any major incident.
According to Col, Conway, the h i ^ school had stopped holding mixers at their gymnasium because of sim ilar trouble.

New Director for Health Center
by Larry Marion
Dr. Clyde E. Rapp J r . , 34 of Malvern, Pa., assumed the post of Director of the Medical Center,Monday, ending a three month search after the resignation of previous director, Dr. Philip Dorman.
According to Dr. Ra^p, his appointment **fills the complement** of physicians thought ne<> essary to staff the Health Center.Presently Dr. Mary Sterling is part time physician with Dr.R s ^ ; two part time surgeons, an orth(^>edic doctor, and the full - time psychiatrist, Dr.Howard Baker comprise the Cente r’s staff.

A seminar on dmg use is the only program Dr. Rapp has planned, though he hastened to add that it is just a preliminary ttiought.
His main goal is to ac(piaint himself witti the students, and serve their medical needs as effeciently as possible.

Q. I had a fight with m y parents, and decided to leave home. I
only have a b o u t $500 of my own money to spend for food and a
place to live, and no money to pay future tuition bills. 1 paid my
tu ition ou t of my own money and a scholarship, but it isn’t enough
to cover even part o f the total. I need a place to live, because I
ca n ’t stay with friends forever. What should I do?
M.L., Philadelphia com m uter
Answer: F i r s t get yourself a place to live. The Residential Living Office, f irs t floor Main Building, is offering space in Kelly Hall for $1 a night in a bunk bed, linen another $1. You can only stay there for two nights as a maximum, but in an emergency, Residential Living D irector, Mike Lapides, might be able to work something out to your satisfaction. Then see someone in the Financial Aid Office, also located in the Main Building, but on the second floor — Room 215. Tell Mr. McCullogh your problem, and if you are paying your way through school without parental assistance, you can be declared an “ independent student” and be eligible for more financial aid than if s till legally a dependent. The only catch is that as an independent student, your father loses an income tax deduction — he can*t claim you as a dependent. A College Work-Study grant is an easy way to earn money without the problem of paying back a loan. If the F inancial Aid Office pleads poverty, and in some cases they do, best bet is to go to a bank and request a low cost student loan. If your College Boards are above average, a National Defense Loan may be available. Whatever your intellect and financial limitation, you have nothing to lose by going up to the office, and maybe some money to gain.
Q. The freshman yearbook said tha t the meal plan is a seven-day

Drugs are a part o f everyday existence. M any
parents and studen ts rarely go through a week
w ith ou t resorting to som e ty p e o f alcohol. Som e
use sedatives such as barbiturates to insure sleep,
or stim ulants such as benzedrine to keep awake
during periods o f prolonged study.
Caffeine is a drug consum ed to keep peop le
awake and to help maintain concentration. It p u ts
the b o d y and mind under increased strain and
m ay damage the heart, circulation, or digestive
systems.
A n y th in g w ith the po ten tia l to perjoritive ly
affect the b o d y or mind should be labeled an
abusable drug. Included in this category are any
materials a llowed to en ter the human b o d y in
excessive proportions.
The Drop-In Center, in conjunction w ith The
Triangle, will present a series o f articles on hal
lucinogens featuring their his tory, preparation,
.dangers, and '‘cures. ” The first article, on mari
juana, appears below.
Marijuana, prepared in one form or another, is one of the oldest drugs known to man. While it has been basically used for medical or re ligious reasons, since pre-historic times, m arijuana is presently classified as a dangerous drug by many governments, partly because its effects can resemble the symptoms of psychosis and partly because of Crusader Anslinger, the U.S. Government employee in the Twenties that managed to scare the United States into believing “ killer marijuana” stories.
Student use of marijuana is related partly to the student feeling of “ not being a part of i t ,” and our frequent feelings of anxiety. Among most students it has become a social drug. Some peo
ple have centered their whole lives around its use:“ What is left for us modern men?... Hashish......
We can dull the pains of the present by living the past again in reveries or learned studies...intoxicate your spirit with flavor. Behold, here is the Athens of Plato in your narcotic visions...the phantasma of mythologies, the birth throes of re ligions.” — Symonds
MemoryAre you smoking more now and remembering
less? Recent studies have shown that marijuana has negative effects on memory. The most recent study indicated that “ marijuana affects recognition processes...with respect to initial learning, marijuana was shown to affect acquisition processes involved in the storage of information."
Memory is affected because it is difficult to concentrate after smoking marijuana. After smoking, the drug stays in your blood stream for up to a month, and if you smoke daily the concentration increases to a level whereby your memory may be affected even when not “ stoned.”
To stop dependenceIf you want to get off a heavy drug trip and
stop the dependency, there are several things that will help: first, you should find a substitute for the meaning you found in drugs. This meaning can be found in work and personal relationships — it may help to be with people more, and with drugs less. We recommend you discover ways of expressing your emotions — playing an instrument, writing for the Triangle, anything legal (I). Cultivating positive vibes helps — find reasons for self-respect and be at least self-assertive enough to cope with day-to-day problems.
If you want more information about drugs, come up to the Drop-In Center. If you have a problem, come see us and maybe together we can find some solutions; Room 307 in the Main Building.

AfrosRenovate
House
by Larry Marion
The Drexel Afro-American Societ>’ opened the Black Liberation Actlvites Center (BLAC), occupying the buildingformerlyusedby the Newman Center.
Extensive renovations of the three story structure, located at 219 N. 33rd St., were made possible by a Drexel loan of $10,480, spread over a two-year lease given the AAS.
“ We feel the house is adequate for our needs,” said George E. Wilson, Assistant Vice-president of Student Affairs and AAS advisor.
The second and third floors will h o u s e ten upperclass black male students, six in three double rooms and four in singles. A community-oriented educational center will be operated on the first floor.
“ We are bringing the University to the community ...sponsoring community events — socials, dinners, bake sales and speake r s ,” Wilson stated.
Included in the center will be a library , costing over $1000 according to Wilson; a tutorial center; and study area for neighborhood junior and senior high school students.
“ We want to do something, show the community that there is more than just a lot of talk ,” Wilson added.
Wilson estimated the final cost of internal refurbishing to total another $8,000, paid for by the AAS. Furniture, tutorial equipment, t>’pew riters, and other supplies will all be purchased by the Society.
“ The Societ>’s coughing up $1000 for the Ubrary; we are really contributing to this University.” Wilson commented.
---------------- ---------- -The AAS has raised approximately $1500; the students living in the BLAC pay $175 a term rent for a double, or $190 for a single, as the means of amortization.
Fund raising events and a $1700 Student Activities Committee allocation are the known resources of the Afro-American Society.
Renovations to the old Newman Center include a new hot water heater, emergency lighting, fire alarm, and other re pairs necessary for a residential housing permit.
All responsibility for the building is borne by the AAS. “ We’ve asked the school to provide $100 a month to subsidize the community cen ter,” Wilson noted, “ but, we are still negotiating.”
Wilson added that any old textbooks students wish to donate to the Community Center will be appreciated, and anyone interested should call his office, Ext. 455.
A Drexel apartment building located at 202 N. 34th St. is now housing 11 black women, paying the school rate of $235 a term . The building is a school owned and operated structure, and Is “ basically a residential hall — It has not been turned over to the Society.”

Quantity and Quality of
Electives Decreasing
Drexel students in general, and Hum-Soch majors In particular, are suffering from increasing difficulties Inschedulingelectives. Each term an a l ar ming number of electives are dropped because the twelve-student minimum isn’t met. Last term only two Humanities courses above the ROO-series su rvived registration day. If we wish to be given full educational opportunities we must save these electives.
To accomplish this, information tables are being set up In the Great Court on Monday, Octol>er 11, from 11:00 to 1:30 and from 3:30 to 5:30. Booklets listing electives for all colleges will be available to the students, and Facult>- and Course Evaluation Books will be there for Information on the courses and their instructors. Department heads will attend the tables to a ssis t students with scheduling and disseminate information about the various electives offered.
for the hell of It
No college student’s education is complete until he’s had the opportimity to experiment a little, taking a few courses for the hell of it...trying something new that isn’t on his required list. In the past, Drexel students have had and used this opportunity, giving them a more enjoyable and perhaps better education. Now It seem s that their chance may disappear or at least become very limited, due to the increasing number of electives
by Don Handler
being dropped.This term there are 128 students taking non-
requlred Hum-Soch electives. Twelve Hum-Soch electives have been scheduled for next term an average of about ten students per course, which falls short of the required minimum of twelve. At best, ten courses could survive without students from other colleges, and even this is unlikely.
M u r r a y Miller, a c t l n g C h a l r m a n o f the Literatureand Language Department, said, “ I can bet you thatat least two of the electives won’t survive registration day.”
Winter term error
Last term the adm inistration failed to send pre- registration m ateria ls to approximately half of D rexel’s seniors. To red re ss this e r ro r , a one-day extension was added to the deadline for filling c lasses, which must have a minimum of twelve students. Still, some of the electives were not filled, and these courses were dropped. Pre- reglstratlon deadline for winter term is October 15, and this time there will be no extension for electives. The only way to fill the c lasses Is to M students know now what the courses are all about.
Why not try something new next term ? You can even exercise your cred lt/no cred it optioni Come on down to the Great Court this Monday and get the low- down on those electives you’ve always been afraid to try.

Swirling over the “ Great Court" of Drexel University is an atmosphere glistening with the energy of frivolous flirtations and dynamic dissertations. Misinterpreted by many, it is this intense environment which precipitates the metamorphosis of awareness to those discovering self-actualization while at Drexel. Within this atmosphere the emotions and intellect of the university are displayed.
Consider for the moment that the “ Great Court" is the brnintrust of an orderly network (computer-like in origin). We are presented with a small poUtical arena which we may dissect and analyze.
Within this structure are basically two distinct impulses (administration and students). Basically flowing in harmony throughout the circuitry, they occasionally do meet in diametric positions.
In a discussion of political power one usually is confronted with a situation In which there is a vested interest, the possessor of said vested interest becoming the cominant figure within the society.
The political power of Drexel University is controlled by the administration and supported by the faculty and student body. This is the way it should be and will be if education is to continue within this or any university.
At this time, however, a question a rises: what obligations does the University have to the students and vice-versa?
The University must educate the students. The students must support this process. This is reality. Unfortunately this picture is not clear but black and white. Within the shadow between administration power and student interests lie many responsibilities. We the students have allowed the administration to assume the power because we have been either disinterested - apathetic — or incognizant of our rights.
The students are responsible for the payment of tuition. The administration then leads us down the flowery path to knowledge. However, we are not all satisfied. Every day there is rumination over the bureaucratic enigmas which many offices produce. Life becomes just a little more difficult for the overburdened college student.
They eliminate courses we p re-reg ister, they raise I^^H H ff^y tu ition , and we pay it. They place us in supermarkets;
^T w e stock shelves.The Russian scientist Pavlov would have been thrilled
- if his conditioning on dogs was so thorough. K we as a race are going to survive we had better become brothers in change rather than partners in stagnation. For what exists today will be but a fleeting iiAage tomorrow.

The Franklin Field security guard almost wouldn't let the W KDU remote engineer into the p ress box last Saturday afternoon for one reason — the engineer’s name is Stephanie Corp, and she is quite obviously a girl.
It seems Franklin Field has had this ridiculous policy of “ no g irls (except for those delivering refreshm ents) allowed in the p ress box.”
When Nolan Kaplan and Steffie arrived at the field for the Drexel - Lafayette game they showed their p ress passes and started to walk up to the press box. Here they were accosted by one of the guards, who refused to honor Steffie*s pass. Ten minutes of arguing got them nowhere, so Nolan went up to the box and called the station to explain the situation.
Phil Lempert, a c t i n g as station engineer for the football broadcast, came down to the Field to try and stralght-

en things out. To hear him tell it, “ I asked if there was a standard rule and they said it was, so I asked to see a printed copy of the set of rules. When they said that there were no printed copies of the rules, I pointed out that since the rules weren't printed, they weren't valid and they had to let her in.'»
More hassles followed but Lempert semed so sure of himself that the guard began to waver and called Penn's Sports Information Director Ed Fabri- cius. Fabricius finally admitted that the guard was wrong and gave the order to let her into the press box.

Congress Gets Facelift
Several students were elected to serve in Student Government at the last Congress meeting, including speaker of the house, floor leader, president of the sophomore class, administrative advisor, and four members of the Student Court of Review.
Tom Sommers, form er president of LF. Council was elected by acclamation, to the position of Speaker of the House. His duties will include presiding over all meetings. Jim Johnson, the Afro - American Society re presentative, is now the new floor leader. All bills and business are routed through the floor leader before going to the floor of Congress. Ronnie Walitsky Student Dean of the Home Economics College, was elected for her second term as Secretary.
Under other special orders of
Business, Mike Capp was elected president of the sophomore class, due to the resignation of current president, Tom Marrinello. No replacement has been found for the vice-president's position which Capp has vacated.
Jim Schwering, the Student Dean of the Business Administration College, resigned. No replacement has been found yet.
The Student Court of Review received a chief justice and three other members when Bill 72-14 passed. Mel Brooks, formerStu- dent Body President, was appointed Chief Justice; Jeff Lemansky, Associate Justice; Altina Piero, Associate Justice; Don Hendler, Justice; and Paula Steg, Justice, the only member from last year's court.
Norman Smith, assistant Dean of Men, was elected advisor to
by Larry Besnoff
Student Government, filling the space of the late Dean Oscar J. Eichhom.
In memory of Dean Eichhorn, Student Congress authorized $100 be donated to the Kidney Fund.
The cheerleaders allocation from the SAC, which had been in escrow, was given to the cheerleaders as their new constitution contained the needed revisions. The new rules for selecting cheerleaders includes having in and out of school judges, and having the cheerleaders demonstrate the necessary moves for the new prospects before the tryouts.
In other business, the Korean Karate Club was granted probationary status. A bill to give the Psychology Club $150 was tabled by the floor leader until the club can give Congress a full budget.

Answer; You have the sincere apologies of Dean of Freshmen William Zuspan. The seven day meal plan was discontinued three years ago, but it seems one section of the Dean of Students' office didn't know, and let the freshman booklet retain the offending phrase. Dean Zuspan noted that, although the freshman booklet erronerously stated seven days, the bill from the Food Service did state the correct condition of service. SHAFTED figures you’re better off not eating Drexel food anyway, so don’t complain.

How can I get through to them
what the story is? k . a . Phiiiy
Answer; F i r s t you gotta hear the whole story. Mike Lapides, Residential Living D irector, said that all students living on the sixth and seventh floors of Kelly Hall were charged an additional group ra te — sounds like a ca ter ed party — because of extensive damage to hall caipeting, lounge furniture, and other furnishings. The other segment of the problem is that Mike L. and his
office have only been here for a year, and the refunding of residence hall deposits is still delayed. Lapides assured SHAFTED that your complaint, along with many others concerning overcharges for damage, are being “ re-evaluated," office jargon for “ Well, maybe we were a little hard on the kids there."

Mrs, Davis Rallies Support for D aughter“ Angela Davis is being treated
as a political prisoner because she Is black and because she is a communist with a dedication and committment to free her brothers and s is te rs ,” Mrs. Sallye B. Davis, said at a Philadelphia rally last Wednesday.
Last week in a visit to her daughter, at the Marin County Jail, Mrs. Davis reported that “ Angela’s sp irits are high, she is going on with her work and has ejqjressed great confidence in people.*’
She said that Angela wants people to become involved with the fight for freedom. “ No involvement leads to genocide; involvement means a free people.”
The rally, attended by over 250 people, black, brown, and white, was held to gather both personal and financial support
for Angela Davis* defense.Mrs. Davis spoke both as a
mother concerned over her daughter’s life and as an individual who believes in the ideas of her daughter.
*'Angela is a most non-violent person. She is a warm, gentle and loving individual. I never realized this could happen in my own household.”
She said Angela is a symtx)l for the struggles of all political prisoners and a symbol of the c ris is in American justice.
She cited the bail issue as evidence of the injustice shared by many political prisoners. According to M rs. Davis, after conducting an investigation, the Marin County Probation Department could find no reason for not releasing Angela Davis on bail.
The bail was set at $1^00,000. Aretha Franklin was offering the
ball money. Angela Davis thought she would be free until the judge stated, “ I’ve done some soul searching, but I’m sorry. For legal reasons, purely legal rea sons, I cannot grant bail.”
Political prisoners struggle under humiliating conditions, M rs. Davis said, and then went on to describe Angela’s cell. “ The cell she sleeps in is 6 X6. The cell where she works is 10 X 10.”
“ The food is impalatable, Angela’s eyesight is faltering and she receives little sunshine. The conditions are dehumanizing.”
Miss Davis has t>een busy with much work, Mrs. Davis said. She has compiled and published a book on the George Jackson Case and she has continued to meet with a panel of attorneys. Miss Davis will represent herself in court because she feels
that as a political prisoner, the jury must get to know her personally.
M rs. Davis was accompanied by her son-in-law Sam Jordan, who had strong feelings over the judicial system: “ Courts are a definite Instrument for m arshalling black, brown, and poor people. The trial has been used as an instrument against political re s is to rs .”
Angela Davis pleaded Innocent to the charge that she was an accessory to the Jonathan Jackson shootings. In California the crim e is punishable by death.
Speaking as a mother, Mrs. Davis said, “ The plight of Angela weighs heavily on my heart and my very soul. I am tired, but not weary. How can I be weary when I am surrounded by injustice?”
by Tonn Thompson
M rs. Davis began raisin^ support for her daughter’s case after Fanla Jordan, Angela’s sister, became pregnant and had to slow down her activities.
Before giving rallies, Mrs. Davis taught Remedial Reading in Birmingham, Ala. She is active in the International League of Women fo r Peace and F reedom.
She made this observation in her speech: "N o one is safe until all of us has our freedom.” she quoted Jam es Baldwin: “ If they take Angela Davis in the morning, they’ll take you at night.”
She said; “ I never dreamed it would happen in my own house- hold-but it can happen anywhere.I HOPE IT DOESN’T HAPPEN IN YOUR HOUSE.”

may be persuaded to plead guilty, thus ending the proceedings with a minimum of time and expense. Finally, a preliminary examination perm its a defendant to put forward exculpatory evidence.
Grand jury proceedings In California are usually reserved by prosecutors for cases potentially involving much publicity, or where, for a variety of other reasons, they want to control the Initial evidence. From the defendant’s point of view there are crucial disadvantages. The grand jury hears only one side of the case, since the prosecutor is unfettered by exposing counsel. He may ask leading questions and put words in the mouths of witnesses.
Further, the grand jury presents special problems for black politically dissident defendants. Such juries are composed of leading citizens — bankers, lawyers and businessmen. Potential discrim ination is inherent when the citizens are white, as they usually are, and the defendants are black, o r when the defendants a re political dissidents who criticize the very sort of people sitting on a grand jury.
Yet in theory, the grand jury exists to protect the defendant. Solid and respectable members of the community presumably make a secret, Impartial appraisal of evidence mustered by the prosecutor to bring an indictment. When no indictment is handed down, the potential accused need not be disturbed by knowing that he was so considered; his reputation remains untarnished, his peace of mind unmolested. When the grand jury decides to indict, however, the accused can only suffer from secrecy.
* * * *
The Davis-Magee case offers one illustration. Miss Davis -was confined for six months before the sufficiency of evidence against her was put before a judge. Most of this time was taken up with finding an impartial judge. All the Marin County judges declined to hear the case because they felt they could not be, o r certainly could not appear to be, impartial o r unprejudiced. Another judge, sa tis factory to Miss Davis and her attorneys, disqualified himself after being challenged by Ruchell Magee. T^e next judge was unsuccessfully challenged for cause by Miss Davis and was disqualified peremptorily by Magee.
The Marin County judges declined to sit on the case for obvious reasons. Yet, how can a judge from an adjoining county o r any county in California fail to be moved by the death of a sitting

judge kidnapped from his own courtroom? Perhaps the only impartial judge in this case would be one who disqualifies himself. Meanwhile, the case has been widely discussed in the p ress . The mounting expense of the tria l has placed a tremendous financial burden both on the defense and the citizens of M arin County who may ultimately decide Miss Davis’ fate.
Once an Indictment has been brought, it is not unusual for a number of such legal Issues as sufficiency of evidence, discovery and bail, to be raised before tria l. On January 5, M iss Davis’ attorneys moved to dism iss the indictment on grounds that the evidence was insufficient to support the charges. P rim arily because of a variety of legal motions dealing with self-representation, legal jurisdiction, and claims that the judge was prejudiced, the motion to d ism iss was not argued until May 27.
The argument for bail was presented on June 2, following which Judge Richard Amason requested a probation report. The Chief Deputy Probation Officer of Marin County, in his official report to Judge Amason on Angela Davis’ suitability for bail, wrote:
‘T ro m my investigation of this case, I feel that M iss Davis, if released on bail, will not flee the jurisdiction of the court. Her alleged flight following the A u ^ s t 7, 1970 incident would not in my estimation preclude her from being released on bail. It is not unusual for people who are charged with crim inal offenses to hide from the authorities. It is not unusual for people who have avoided the authorities, once arrested and released on bail, to appear for their court hearings. I also feel that since August 7, 1970, some significant things have happened that have a bearing on h e r case. She has received a great deal of support from numerous people throughout the country for her position. She is looked upon by a great number of people in this country as a leader for social reforms. There is in my estimation a commitment on Miss Davis’ part to her family, attorneys and supporters who have given their time, skills and money to her case...I feel that for M iss Davis to flee the jurisdiction of the court would be a great disappointment to her family, supporters and attorneys. It would also question her role as a leader for social re fo rm ...”
Yet bail was denied by Judge Amason on June 15, with the following statement;
“ Solely and exclusively upon the legal issue...I find that she is not eligible for bail under the California statutes and Constitution; not that she is not a fit person, not that she Is not the type of person that would be entitled to bail.”
That is a rem arkable statement. Ball is a civil right guaranteed under the Consitution except in capital cases. The “ fitness” of the defendant determines amount of bail, not whether it will be granted.

One of the many lovely sites I am privileged to pass each morning in commuting to Drexel U. is that most tranquU of peaceable kingdoms, the Philadelphia Zoo. There a re usually several busses parked in the front lot, loaded with thousands of screaming kids all excited and brimming with energy. On this particular day as I went whizzing by, I chanced to ride in on the periphery ofmy brain and join one such group......As we approachthe entrance I am deeply Impressed by a grand figure which I perceive to be a momma and her baby elephant. The vision becomes clouded now as the thousands of scream ing kids are mounting the edifice, “ Off!" yells the Instructor. “ You get off there this Instant or we don't take one step fu rth e r ."
Plunk! Plunk! Plunk! The kiddles drop down and form a double line. Ha! Satisfied with his authority, the Instructo r leads the kiddles down the walkway which passes by the llamas and ostriches and bison and camels and...
“ I’m hungry," complains one of the kiddles. “ Me too." agrees another. “ Shh!"
"H ere, students, we have the llama. Notice how fleecey they look. Llamas are herbivorous. Does anyone know what that means. That means that they only eat vegetables. See, there’s one eating a vegetable now; Just like a vegetarian." The Instructor smiles at his quick, clever wit and boundless store of knowledge. **Come now students." And they move to the next pen where he explains the eating and living practices of its Inhabitants. The animals don’t seem to be paying any attention to the monologue. But of course, they already know their eating and living practices, don’t they.
“ When do we get to see the monkeys!" “ Yea, I want to see the snakes. When do we get to see the snakes?’* “ The seals! I want to see the sea ls ."
“ Students! I'll have no more of this disruptive behavior," comes the flustered demand of the Instructor. “ Be patient and we’ll get to everything " and he holds for dramatic emphasis.
Reptiles
Now we’re headed for the reptile house. “ We»re coming to the reptile house now students. Be careful here. Many reptiles are poisonous and will strike at the least provocation." Entering the building, we see a series ol cubicles lining the walls. Passing by, the kiddles “ ooo" and “ ahh." - “ They look dead to m e." “ Why don’t they move?" and the kiddles tap on the windows to see If they can Instill any kind of life. “ Reptiles are cold blooded animals. That means that their body temperatures change as the environment changes. The zoo has fixed
by Gina Richman
up their little homes so that It will be just like in nature. Students! you mustn’t tap. How would you like It if someone kept tapping on your house?" and he holds for dramatic emphasis.
“ Shall we pause now for some lunch?" Delight spreads across the group. They think of the delicious possibilities. Hot dogs! Hamburgers! Coke! French Fries! Cup Cakes! Pretzels! Milk Shakes! Candy Bars!Indeed,avast myriad of tasty chewy munchy deUghts. The kiddles mount their forces In preparation for a relentless attack. They're swarming. They’re moving In. They’re working together closely. And I see...I think they're almost...They...They've conquered! And there they sit, chewing their t a s t y , munchy delights. Just Uke In nature.
Vision of Paradise
We’re running short bears — through the
of time now. We whizz by the aviary — through the monkey
house — around the seals and walruses — until we come to that final haven of fun and games — The Children’s Zoo......Here we see thousands upon thousands of scream ing kids, running, jumping, and frollclng among, around, under, and over the animals. They’re playing: Monkey in the Middle with a pig — Let’s see how many we can fit on the llama — Looky what it does when you pull its tall — Looky, It eats Ink. A vision of paradise! Man and animal together!
Thus It goes. A lovely day at the zoo — Is this little fantasy valid? I don’t know, man, I gotta get to class.

A Fair Trial for Angela Davis?Mr. Skolnick, a professor o f criminology at the University o f California, is the author o f Justice Without Trial (John Wiley & Sons). Mr. Brick, who has completed his second year o f law studies at the University o f California, has been appointed research editor o f the California Law Review
Ordinarily, when we speak of a fair trial, we think of the defendant's ability to retain competent counsel and investigators, of l)eing able to exclude illegally seized evidence, or coerced confessions. The Angela Davis-Ruchell Magee case is out of the ordinary. Magee claims he cannot obtain a fair trial in the courts of California. He points to his seven-year-old conviction on a $10-k idn^-robbery c h a r g e in Los Angeles and says his guilty plea was fraudulently obtained. He believes that the California courts, d istric t attorneys and appointed counsel want to railroad him to the gas chamber to silence him from protesting his fradu- lent conviction. Miss Davis, on the other hand, now says she believes it may be possible for her to receive a fair trial in Cali- forma courts, although she may not have thought so when she left the state in August 1970. Still, tt is questionable that a fair trial is possible for her. The issue must be analyzed in term s of the ability of the criminal justice system to deal impartially with a black, abrasively political defendant accused of serious, violent acts.
On August 7, 1970 James McClain, an inmate at San Quentin prison, was on trial in San Rafael, Calif., for assaulting a prison guard. Ruchell Magee was on the witness stand being examined by the assistant d istrict attorney, Gary Thomas. At about 11 A.M., a young, handsome, light-skinned black man entered the courtroom. After a few minutes he stood up, pointed a gun at the tr ia l’s participants and said; “ All right, gentlemen, this is i t .” He took a weapon from a satchel and hajided it to McClain. McClain walked to the bench where Judge Harold Haley was sitting and ordered him to call and instruct the sheriff to order his men not to in terfere with what was going on. Meanwhile, Magee, who was appearing in handcuffs, ordered a deputy to remove them. McClain then handed a weapon to Magee. Three women jurors, the assistant attorney and the judge were taken from the courtroom by Magee, McClain and the young man - la ter identified as Jonathan Jackson. The armed men also freed William Christmas, another inmate who was to appear as a witness; he joined in moving the hostages out of the building.
A witness testified that as the men were leaving, McClain said: “ Free the Soledad brothers by 12:30 or they all die.’* The four men led their hostages to a yellow Hertz rented van, parked in a lot
by Jerom e H. Skolnick and Steven A. Brick
next to the Civic Center. The van began to move toward an exit. Two cars had arrived at the scene from nearby San Quentin prison and were positioned in the path of the exiting van. The van came to a sudden halt and there was a barrage of gunfire both from without and within the van. When the shooting stopped, McClain, Christm as Jackson and the judge were dead. Magee, and one of the women ju ro rs and the assistant d istric t attorney suffered gunshot wounds. The assistant d is tric t attorney was wounded in the spine, and is permanently confined to a wheelchair. Magee recovered quickly. The woman juror sued Marin County for damages arising from the injuries she suffered.
This invasion of a courtroom is obviously shocking, yet its motives and meaning belie any sim plistic interpretation. Certainly serious crim es were committed, but it is also c lea r that Jonathan Jackson defined the acts as political. However misguided the means, Jackson’s goal was either to “ f re e " political p risoners , or to ameliorate prison conditions by negotiating the re tu rn of hostages. The political meaning of the events was further underlined by the indictment of Angela Davis, who was charged with kidnapping, murder and conspiracy. The penalty for these charges is death. The combination of a capital case with international political reverbera tions promises one of the longest, most complicated and expensive tria ls in history. This report attempts to sum m arize the progress of the case and to comment on some of the issues of politics and law in captial cases.

The Marin County grand jury indicted Miss Davis in her absence. That is not an unusual grand jury procedure, but the use of the grand jury is itself unusual in California crim inal cases. There are two routes to felony tr ia ls in California, the grand jury and the p re liminary- examination. The prosecutor has complete d iscretion as to which route will be taken. In an average case, he uses tlie p re lim inary examination to convince a municipal court judge that the accused should stand tria l. The prelim inary examination offers the defendant a major advantage over the grand jury since the evidence necessary to bring him to tria l may be tested immediately.
Moreover, the proceedings are public and he has the right to cross-exam ine witnesses brought by the prosecutor to prove a prim a facie case. Cross-exam ination early in the proceedings gives the defendant a chance for early d ism issal; if he is “ held to answ er,” cross-exam ination provides a more thorough record of the w itnesses’ testimony for possible impeachment at tria l. In run-of-the-m ill cases, prosecutors don’t mind cross-exam ination of witnesses early in the game — most prefer not to go to tria l if the case is weak. Moreover, when the prosecution case proves strong the defendant

A great numl)er of persons and some organizations, including the news media, have asked why 12 black law professors from 11 different law schools have joined together to provide advice and counsel to Angela Davis through her attorney. Some of those who inquired have expressed amazement and open displeasure at the idea of prominent black legal scholars banding together to aid an avowed Communist. Others have discerned in this joint effort a sin ister plot to foster the forces of revolution and subversion against the established order. Still others have unhappily suggested that a kind of taint or guilt by association is sure to follow as retribution for this unwise decision to act in such a political tria l. All have unwittingly revealed that they either know little or care little about the legal imperatives of the Bill of Rights to our Constitution.
Implicit in the statements of these critics is an unfavorable judgment of Miss Davis’ political views and a suggestion that only those who share her beliefs in a certain ideology would come to her defense. It is startling in this era to find people who still seriously believe that a lawyer defending a person’s right to a fair t rial is automatically defending that person’s Ideology or opinions. It is planned that when the political powers- that-be decide that someone or some group of people is engaged in activities inconsistent with what those powers admit as proper conduct, the offenders must be punished or forced to abandon that impermissible conduct.
If it takes suspension or repression of constitutional rights and guarantees to achieve this punishment, then it is done with the rationalization that it is necessary to protect the interest of the “ whole society” or the “ silent majority” orwhat- ever against the in terests of individual offenders.
To set the record straight, we have not joined together to champion ideology. This has not been a consideration at all. I neither know nor care what political views other members of our panel hold. To me, and, I hope, to each of the individual panel members, what Miss Davis espouses, what political “ bag” she is in, and what and who her associates are, are irrelevant. What is relevant and important is our deep belief in the soundness and sanctity of the principle that any American citizen irrespective of color, political belief, race class or economic station, is entitled to all the privi- leges, rights and immunities incident to that citizenship. We are determined to live by that principle and in the practice of law to honor it
* ♦ * *Very recently we have observed the Depart
ment of Justice, the White House and the Congress sponsor various pieces of legislation which seriously threatened individual freedom. We have watched helplessly while the Department of Jus! tice and the White House sponsored and the Con-
Organized Crime Control Act (w th provisions which will apply to practically all but organized crime), the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act, and the D istrict
by Paul E. MillerDean, Howard L'. Law School
of Columbia Court Reform iUidCriminal Procedure Act, all of which carry provisions that are sinister threats to rights guaranteed individuals by our Constitution.
We have heard arguments, supporting the need for a bill to create o r establish preventive tie- tention. We have heard asserted needs for legisl i- tion empowering state and federal agents to tap w ires for a numl>er of purposes. We have heard the asserted need to invade the individual’s privacy tlirough “ no knock law s.” We have witnessed tht horrible overreaction of police and legislators to civil disturbances, to peace demonstration . and to such other legitimate protest efforts a; Resurrection City.
In each instance justification for this individual suppression is made on the basis of protecting the in terest of the “ m ajority,” as though ttu' majority were not composed of individuals often as different from each other as is possible in custom and belief. Individual rights and Uiu individual dignity consUtutionally protected are tlui> sacrificed in the name of protecting some a s serted competing in terest of the “ m asses” or “ majority” unknown to our Bill of Rights.
t)ignity is every man’s right and the I'nitt i States Constitution was fashioned to insure tlu dignity of tlie man, and his ideas, as well as ti insure his concomitant right to disagree with thi' majority o r a minority. Yet we see a trend developing aided by highly placed officials in th*'

A t the present time a new trial for Miss Davis has not been re
scheduled. The trial is expected to be delayed until late winter or
early spring due to a legal question. The question of Venue has
arisen which pertains to the county or place where the jury is
gathered and the case to be tried. In this case the belief is held tha t
Miss Davis would be deprived of an unbiased jury if the trial was held in Marin C ounty , California, ed.

As a preface to my brief remarks I now declare publicly before the cou r t , before the people of this country tha t I am innocent of all charges which have been leveled against me by the S tate of California. I am '.inocent and therefore maintain that my presence in this cou r troom today is unrelated to any criminal act.
I stand before this court as a target of a political frame-up which far from pointing to my culpability, implicates the State of California as an agent of political repression. Indeed the State reveals its own role by introducing as evidence against me my participation in th e struggles of my people—Black people—against the many injustices of society. Specifically my involvement with the “ Soldedad Brothers Defense C om m ittee .” The American people have been led to believe tha t such involvement is constitutionally p ro tec ted .
In order to insure tha t these political questions are not obscured, I feel compelled to play an active role in my own defense as the defendan t, as a Black woman and as a Communist. It is my d u ty to assist all those directly involved in the proceedings as well as the people of this State and the American people in general to thoroughly com prehend the substantive issues at stake in my case. These have to do with my political beliefs, affiliations and my day to day efforts to fight all the conditions which have economically and politically paralyzed Black America.
No one can better represent my political beliefs and activities than I. A system of justice which virtually condemns to silence the one person who stands to lose most would seem to be self-defeating.
It is particularly crucial to Black people to combat this contradic tion inherent in the judicial system, for we have accumulated a wealth of historical experience which confirms our belief that the scales of American justice are out of balance.
In order to enhance the possibility of being granted a fair trial, of which at present I am extremely doubtful, it is imperative that I be allowed to represent myself. I might add that my request is not
w ithou t legal precedent.If this court denies our motion to include me as co-counsel in
this case it will be aligning itself with the forces of racism and reaction which th rea ten to push this country into the throes of fascism and the many people who have become increasingly disillusioned with the court system in this country will have a further reason to solidify their con ten tion tha t it is no longer possible to get a fair
trial in America.

Coryell
at the
Main Pointby Steve Weitzman
There a re a few specia l things that make me high and a Malnpolnt concert almost invariably does. I ’m emphasizing how frequently the ir shows am aze me because getting TRULY high Is a precious s ta te . F i rs t of all, for ttie benefit of the few who haven’t been b lessed, the Mainpoint is a coffee-house and combination miniature concert-hall (seating approximately 190) located in BrjmMawr on Lancaster Avenue. Robby Robinson has been bringing us the finest in folk pr im arily , but has also put together incredible blues, count ry , country-rock, and jazz shows with an a ir of professionalism and without com prom ising the moment — the one-to-one feeling of intimacy that is r a re ly achieved. His acts have often included high ca libe r musicians Uke Arlo Guthrie (who is returning in severa l weeks), Melanie, Dave Van Ronk and on and on.
Last Wednesday’s concert was no exception; it featured L a rry Coryell, one of England’s finest guitar p layers , whose style has definite jazz tendencies , but is mixed with occational Hendrix-like riffs (such as those on “ Voodoo Child” ), intense lightning, quick ru n s , soft melodic picking and natura l rock rhythms when backing up Steve M arcus’ alto sax.
Coming Into his own
I had the opportunity to catch a show a year ago last sp ring at the Old E lectr ic F acto ry , which included Coryell along with m aste r bass is t Jack Bruce (from Cream ), d rum m er Mitch Mitchell (from the original J im l Hendrix Experience) and jazz-rock o rganist Mike Mandell. There was a big difference between that show and last Wednesday’s . Last year it had been Jack B ruce’s show and in fact was called “ Jack Bruce and F r ie n d s .” Bruce played what amounted to a lead-bass , c a r ry in g all the melodies and initiating most of the changes. Coryell was a welcome addition but mostly played s e c ondary to Bruce, em itting his jazz -orien ted wailings in the background for the most pa r t . I had been under the im pression that a l though the aforementioned se t-up was very t i ^ t musically, L a rry possibly felt c ram ped, or perhaps working with Jack Bruce , the perfectionist, was a chore .
I had the chance to d iscuss ce r ta in things beforehand and a Mainpoint p re s s -p a r ty provided a relaxed atm osphere . Bruce,
probably out of resp e c t , didn’t p re s s u re L a rry , and the only thing he wanted was musical competence. When I asked him if Jack had tr ied to conduct possibly with the enthusiasm of, say, Frank Zappa, L a r ry replied, “ I was able to do just about anytying I wanted as long as I played his music. Lwas quite f ree t h o u ^ t . ’*
**Did Jack eve r w rite any of your guitar parts?** I asked.“ Once in a while he wrote p a r t of them and som etim es we col
laborated. He was a good person to work with *' was the reply.
The wom an behind th e man
When asked how long they w ere together as a group and if he was doing anything on his own at the sam e time, he told me that they were together for only a few months and did only that short A m erican tour before Bruce decided to form another band and continue experimenting. It was about this time that L a r r y 's second album, “ C oryel l ,” was re leased. L a r r y ’s wife, Julie played a s ig nificant par t. She wrote the m usic on two songs, sang on several o the rs and helped m ark an extremely happy and sa tisfied period in his life. His guitar excellence within a rock boundary is exhibited in “ The Jam with Albert,*’ “ E lem entaryG uitarS o lo#5 ,” and “ Morning Sickness.** Ju lie Coryell wrote a very special kind of l ine r notes;
Once upon a tim e, there lived a very solitary girl who waited for her prince to come and obliterate all the ugliness she imagined to be around her. Patiently she awaited the coming of the magician who would dispel all the disharm ony tha t crept beneath the window sill, through the cracks in the floor moving through the air like germs.

When at last he cam e in mortal guise he b rough t with him his shiny instrum ent of enchan tm en t , slung across his shoul< der in a manner bo th careless and deliberate .

into his s o r t of spontaneous jazz, unpredictable in both d irection and level of intensity, and has been experimenting with both C o ltrane-like b u rs ts and technically using h is gu itar to c r e ate p rac tica lly every sound he can find hidden in it. He has r e - ’ cru ited a fine accompaniment of alto sax p layer Steve M arcus, b a s s is t Mervin B r o n s o n and d ru m m e r H arry Wilkinson.
T h e ir se t began softly with Steve M arcus leading the o the rs . His sax playing was like an exploding network of notes cutting through the quiet. Larry*s guitar work became m ore and m ore upfron t and soon I was amazed at the unbelievable drive he c re ated. The c loseness of the Mainpoint added to the intensity as they soared through two se lec tions f r o m “ Barefoot Boy,** “ Gypsy Queen** and “ The REAL G rea t Escape,** as opposed to th e ir recorded vers ion of “ The

Editor, Drexel Triangle:It does my heart some good to see so many stories
concerning the University's housing program. However, the last housing article, especially the section of the article dealing with the program at SARAH'S in Van Rensselaer Hall, did my heart little good for two reasons. F irs t, certain statements which appeared to have been made by me I did not make. And, the story which, at least at first blush, appeared to be news was mostly opinion and comment. I think it important that in the fu-
DREXEL TRIANGLE October 8. 1971, Page 11
ture articles that are editorial comment, be so labeled.When one makes a mistake or says the wrong thing at
the wrong time it 's understaiKlably unpleasant to have to make up for that. I am learning to deal with ridiculous utterances that I make from time to time but I find it somewhat unpleasant to have to live with statements that I didn't make but that you say I made.
Very truly yours,Michael A. Lapides
MUSIC
A Not-So-Local Local G r o u p
by Bob Melisso
For a couple of weeks now the nei^borhood around Kelly Hall (which contains a no less diverse group as a commune, an old age home, assorted fraternities and a coffee house named, too appropriately, Sarah’s) has been filled with the strains of good rock music. Since the music appeared to be coming from a warehouse- like structure I looked into it; expecting at best to find a local group rehearsing. Their named turned out to be Buff and Co., and they are far from a local group. “ Buff” is scheduled to leave Philly Oct. 20th to begin a nationwide-international tour which will take them to such places as Trinidad, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Barbados* and the Southern United States. Their touring arrangement calls for them to tour with the Chambers Brothers, Mandril, War; and Buddy Miles for a really heavy scene. While with Miles, Buff and Co. will be filmed by a subsidiary of ATCO records for an upcoming rock documentary. The tour is slated to end in February with a concert at Cherry Hill followed by an ATCO recording session.
The band itself has gone through many changes; it acquired its present “ hom e" — at Race and 33rd St. — by playing for community concerts in the a rea for the summer. The lead vocal and organist, Lucifier Eaddy, started the band originally and, after many personal changes, they signed on with Black Expo, a booking (touring) agent. Other members of the band are — Larry Davis on drums. Carmine Rojas on guitar, and Leroi Conley on conga drums, who also helps Jessica Stroble supply background vocals.
The sound Itself is slightly reminiscent of Santana, but more of Buff and C o.'s hard rock format and organ work show through, and they describe themselves as a funk rock group. Buff and Co. will be appearing tonight at Penn’s Fine Arts Center at 8 p.m.; stop by for what should prove to be a good show.

Show me an example of human behavior, and 111 show you a r a tionalization for it: O r someone who has one.
Among man's numerous endowments, perhaps his most useful but double-edged talent is his ability to rationalize. It traverses the gamut of his actions, providing the impetus for his bold and creative ventures, cushioning his conscience from burdensome guilt, and clearing a path for his malevolent Impulses.
ADRIFT, Czechoslovakian film director Jan Kadar’s personal vision of the conflict between passion and human values, deals with the proverbial triangle on two levels, F rom the standpoint of plot delineation, it revolves around the dilemma of a man tom between two women — his wife and a hauntingly beautiful girl he saved from drowning in the Danube. Thematically, the triangle Involves love, lust, and guilt — and the problems of reconciling all three internal forces.
The complexity of the film is a product of the internal conflicts of the protagonist, ra ther than circumstantial occurrences. Kadar weaves an intricate pattern of exposition, evening the film as fisherman Yanos is carrying out the solution to his conflict, and revealing the events leading up to Yanos' actions in retrospect. Using the device of a virtual Greek chorus — or, as one of them proclaims, “ three slightly wise men" — to interrogate Yanos and determine both his actions and motivations, Kadar develops both actual events and Yanos' perceputal hallucinations simultaneously. As Yanos gradually gives way to his consuming obsession, and valiantly attempts to cope with his conscience, the distinction between reality and Illusion becomes all but Impossible to discern — for us as well as him. Before long, we are unsure which of his actions are real; indeed, we are not even totally convinced the mysterious object of his passion exists at all. The audacious interrogators probe Yanos thoroughly, much as we would subject ourselves to intense selfintrospection in sim ilar circumstance, and finally arrive with him at what he rationalizes is the inevitable — and noble — resolution. But Kadar is not through with us. As the film ends, he jolts us with the exclamation point to his moral tale, offering a bold, dynamic, visual commentary on Yanos* deed.
A Red SummerThe film, currently playing at the Trans-Lux, has Czechosla-
vakian dialogue with English subtitles. The subtitles are far from obstruslve; in fact, for certain techniques - such as parenthetical thoughts and overlapping dialogue — they probably heighten the im pact.

Judging from last Saturday’s concert at the Togetherness House, it 's quite apparent that local support for hometown singer-songw riters has grown over the past year. Michael Bacon, with Steve TSletsky's new Group, “ Alms," charmed a crowd of 200 folk-enthusi- asts with a fantastic three hour concert.
Bacon, a popular songwriter, has played professionally all over the country. Locally, he has performed at the Main Point, WXPN and various coffeehouses. He has a fine voice, among his best known tunes a re “ Love Is a Most Difficult Thing" and “ Without You, Girl, I'm Lonely." Performing solo, Mike combined his own original songs with Lennon's “ Imagine" and Jam es Taylor's “ Carolina On My Mind." All the selections were done beautifully.
“ Alms" is comprised of nineteen year-olds Steve Netsky and Rich Rudin. Tisha McGuigan accompanied them throughout their stint. Their performance included Rich's songs, “ Cause Pm Leavin '," “ Nighttime," and “ Looking G lass." They also did songs composed by Steve, the best ones being ‘*When Winter Comes too Soon" and “ Somethin* Shinin',*'
All proceeds from the concert go to the renovation of Togetherness House at 32 Armat St., Germantown. Folk is alive in Philly!!!

Czechoslovakia. During the summer of 1968, the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia not only halted the filming, but scattered the cast and crew; it was not until the following sum m er that filming could be resumed.
D irector Kadar, whose fame re s ts largely on the Academy Award- winning “ Shop On Main S tree t," makes excellent use of a memorable and varied musical score as well as strong cinematography, especially in the many sequences involving w ater. The tension of a sensually permeated atmosphere is maintained throughout, and his handling of the overt sexual sequences is quite convincing — stimulating and not at all self-conscious. Furtherm ore, he elic its strong performances from his cast.
As Yanos, Rade Markovic, a Yugoslavian who bears a strong resemblance to Marcello Mastroianni, is very im pressive, conveying the intense mental anguish of a man trying to follow his conscience — and ignore his libido. As his wife, Yugoslavian actress Milena Dravic gives a sensitive perform ance, playing an ingenuous woman, but Infusing the role with sensual appeal and inner strength. Anada, the mysterious floating catalyst, is portrayed by American model Paula Pritchett in her film debut. Although she does more modeling than acting in the film, d irec to r Kadar takes advantage of her awesome beauty and acting inexperience to give h e r an unreal quality and convey the distinct possibility that she is indeed a fantasy. The supporting cast, comprised mainly of experienced Czech actors, is entirely convincing.
With two excellent films to his credit, JanK adar joins the group of elite European d irectors who have a substantial following in the U.S. Like others in this group — Fellini, Bergman, Truffault, Godard, and Antonioni — his themes are universal and tim eless. In ADRIFT, he wisely mixes a healthy measure of ambiquity with a c lea r and sincere appeal for the employment of human conscience — individual as well as societal. __________________

Barb Archer and Sally Wilson were elected co-captains of the women's field hockey team. They are both juniors playing their third year of varsity hockey. Miss Dottle V etter is the new manager.
Tuesday, the team played a scrim m age game with Penn State (Ogontz Campus) and won 4-0. Drexel dominated the game, keeping the ball on the attack the entire f ir s t half of the game. Sue Keyser and B arbara Bell both scored once in the first half. Bambi Betson, a freshman, and Sue Keyser each scored once in the second half. While the game was not particulary exciting due to the weakness of the Penn State team, it did give, the coach, Miss Haas, a chance to

see how well the freshman team members play.
If anyone is interested in playing field hockey, there is still time to join the team. The first game will be played Tuesday, October 12, at 4 o’clock on Drexel Field against Bryn Mawr.
Tennis is now a fall sport. This year Drexel has 3 returning varsity players, Ann Rahn, Mary Morgan, and Jill Keefer. These girls, along with the many freshmen who show good potential, should give the tennis team the impetus it needs to have a winning season.
The first game will be Tuesday, October 12, against PMC at the field at 4 o’clock.

Seven D.U. ninners spent a week in Allegheny State Forest before school started in order to prepare for the coming season. They piled into three cars on a sunny Wednesday and drove up. On the way, there were two unscheduled races. The first one was across Route 80 in northern Pennsylvania. It was 170 miles long and featured Jerry O’Brian in his Buick as he singlehanded- ly beat the racing teams of Rich DiSebastian-Doug Wise and Joe Devaney-Bob Kiessling, In an Opel and Pinto. Kiessling had the lead just once when he pulled up to O’Brian in the outside lane at 85 m.p.h. However, O’ Brian accelerated to 95 m.p.h. and left him in the dust. The Kiessling-Devaney team was forced to make a pit stop 5 minutes before the checkered flag, putting themselves out of contention. Though Wise held the lead a lage percentage of the race, O- ’Brian out-sprinted him in the end. The average winning speed was a new record 89.87 m.p.h. The previous record holder was LM. a maniac of New York.
The second race was from Route 80 to the Camp and was a- gain won by O’Brian. However, details of that victory are being witheld pending a court hearing next week. It is known that O’Brian did drive up a runaway truck road, “ Because it was there.”
Upon arrival the team found
by Bob Keissiing
that the nearest showers were two miles away and that there was an outhouse 10 steps from the backdoor, which caused problems when it rained, which was 4 of 7 days.
“ Mr. Barf” Dr. Sebestiankept us loose at the meals with his impressions of someone who can’t keep anything done. His best audience was “ Jelly Joe” Hoffman who could rarely finish a meal. “ The Panter” , Bob Kiessling, amazed everyone with his breathing exercises which sometimes went on all night. Bob Kushner spent most of his time working on his new book “ How to Use Matrix Algebra and Win at Pinochole!” A grateful raccoon thanks Doug W ise for the pound of spaghetti he cooked. Jerry O’Brian g a v e us all lessons in how to get a girl in Salamanca N.Y, Joe Devaney gets a special award for putting up, with the rest of us, a picture of Steve Prefontaine.
Between the frisbee fights and tennis matches and card playing, the runners each put in 100 miles which sometimes carried them over mountains, and in general got them in good shape.
Plans are already being made to have a bigger camp next year; since the Athletic Dept, gave no support to the camp this year, it is unlikely that they will spon- ser camps next year for anyone except the football team.

the field. The ref. blew his whisUe and awarded W.C. a penalty kick which they converted. The West p layers were smirking as they lined up for the tap off because they rem ebered last y e a r ’s game when they li te ra l ly ran away with a 5 to 0 victory over Drexel. It did not happen again though. The Dragon booters came back and blunted the W.C. attack the re s t of the f i r s t quarte r.
It was not until the second quar te r that the Dragon offense exerted itself and created good scoring opportunities. Mid
f ielder Bruce Holub led the offense with two head shots which
barely missed the goal on c ro s s es from fellow m id-fielder F rank McWilliam. In the middle of the second quar te r Holub gained contro l of the ball near midfield, and put a ground pass between two W.C. defenders for Stamaitis
Sotirchos. One W.C. defender got a foot on it but not quite enough it rolled over his foot Sotirchos now found him self behind the defense with the ball and only the goalie to beat. The W.C. goalie came out to cut down the
angle but Sotirchos put the ball p as t the goalie into the left c o m e r . The Drexel p layers and sp ec ta to rs went wild. Coach Yonker was a picture of happiness. The f irs t half ended with the s till sco re knotted 1 all.
The third quar te r was much like the f i rs t half with both teams moving the ball up and down the field with neither Drexel o rW est C heste r able to control the ball on their own offensive area for long. D rexel’s defense line of John Metzger, Ausama “ Sam” A lsam ari and Tom Rodgers along with substitute Roger S te r l

Italian midfielder Pasquale ‘P a t" V a r e o l lo n a who had played a fine passing game so f a r got off a hard left footed shot which was ticketed fo r the upper left hand c o m e r of the goal, but the W.C. goalie cut doAvn the angle and snagged the hard shot. It was not until about the middle of the fourth quar te r that the W est C hester began to dominate the play. They s ti l l seemed to be as fresh and s trong as they w ere at the beginning of the game. Although the Drexel p layers w ere t ired and muddy, they never the le s s conceded nothing until West

C a p t a in ’s CornerDREXEL TRIANGLE October 8, 1971, PaRc 15
‘'We know we have a good team and can beat anybody." Despite two losses, this Is till the firm conviction of theDrexel Dragons* Co-captalns Dan M iller and Paul Lit.
I thought Pd s ta rt my first meeting with them on a low key... maybe a bit of Sandy Grady, maybe a bit of Howard Cosell. “ Hey, how about those fumbles,* fellas?...and, uh...what about that passing?*’
When Paul L it walked in the door I quickly decided a new approach was in order. This evening there would be no discussion of any “ dazzling displays of decrepit football.** We*d be discussing the bomb as a play and not as a whole game. Pve been around Drexel all of 6 days, and to be sure, I was scared shitless.
This once again only goes to prove that appearances are deceiving. Paul and Dan are two nice guys...two nice BIG guys who play football with one Intent; they want a win, and la te r won’t do. If you were at any of the games and came away with a different im pression, look around, they might be open for debate. Then again...you never know.
Few people see a “ whole” game. Some only see the big plays that make the headlines. Some also see the grinding in the pit that se ts it all up. Many miss the great fakes that make for instant replays. The biggest problem Is that few can see a whole game in perspective.
You can watch “ Dandy Don*’ and “ Haaard** for another 20 years and only learn where to eat in New York. A football game is a football game is a football game. You have to know what you*re watching. Appearances are deceiving.
Take the Drexel Dragons. Some folks in these hereabouts say they’re no good...a bush league Phila. Eagles. To these people I give a color T.V., one can of Schlitz, and a clean pair of shorts.
Last week’s competition were the Lafayette Leopards. T h i s team was rated #2 in the East for the Lambert Cup. I believe their defense was rated #1, and
by Mitch Berman they’ve beaten both Rutgers and Columbia — two good teams. Our offense and defense pushed them around like a bunch of minor leaguers. For example, we outpushed them 292 to their 62 yrd. But this is not the first time we've won in the stats and still come up short. This time we lost 21-13, but after .this week’s discussion with the team leaders, I am confident It was at least a Pyrrhic victory.
Basically, Drexel played a sound game. The stats prove this out. But at the risk of sounding like Jerry Williams, there was a lot of philosophical encouragement.
It came out in this roundtable discussion that the big mistake has always been a part of Drexel football. Both Paul and Danny were adamant in pointing out that the bad execution is always present early in the season and Is eliminated in time. The defense has managed to dump the Q.B. 9 times in the last two games, and the only passing came on play action krap. There was no fading back into the pocket to write life insurance. The veer offense repeatedly moved down the field on the ground and came within scoring range. Why they didn’t does not bear repeating. My 20-20 hindsight is as good as anyone’s, and I wouldn’t want to second guess the coach.
I came away from my first meeting assured that things will be better. Paul Lit and Danny Miller are two leaders. They work hard and expect the same from their teammates. Football is no jovial affair and they don’t take it as such. Every day they’re busy with agility drills, play execution, and the basics of heads- up football.
The lights burn late in Disque Hall...rem em ber...stick’m is not illegal in this league.
As for this week — Kings Point is your typical Service Academy team, very physical. They’ll blitz as many as eight men on first down. Stay awake and watch for the counters. They may not always work, but appearances are deceiving.

There’s a rather famous saying that goes, “ It’s not whether you win or lose but how you play the game that counts.” It seems that’s all it Is these days, a saying with so much emphasis on winning. One famous pro coach even went so far as to say that winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing. It’s a real show because not only do the coaches and fans uphold this philosophy, but the players themselves believe it.
On Saturday afternoon at Franklin Field, the Drexel football team showed what playing the game is all about. True, they did loose the game 21-13, but it wasn’t Laffayette that beat them. Drexel beat themselves. The Dragons outplayed the Leopards and beat them in everj’ vital statistic with the exception of passing.
O.K., so what’s the big deal with statistics? People arn’t impressed with the fact that Drexel outrushed Lafayette 292 - 62 o r had twice as many first

downs. What they care about, if they ever do in fact care at Drexel, is the final score.
Johnson leads the way
Well, these statistics do mean a heck of a lot to the people who are responsible for them, namely the players themselves. I’m sure that Danny Miller and Glen Galeone are pleased with their 100 yard plus individual rushing performances. I’m sure the offense line consisting of Mike Johnson, Art Swiatkowski, Bill Kiech, Pat Duffy and A1 Salvitti are happy to know that
by Jody Brelsford
it was their out-standing blocking that opened those gaping holes for Danny and Glen. I surely don’t want to forget the defensive line backs and linebackers and how happy they must be in completely botteling up the Leopard running backs. Credit should go to the defensive backs who having never played together before as a unit, turned in a tight performance.
This happiness on the part of the players I’m talking about is not the kind tliat you see exhibited at a Saturday night fraternity party or the team bus following the game. The happiness I’m referring to is called self pride. It’s an inner feeling of peace within each player that comes from knowing that you did the best you could and no one can ask any more. It takes the shape of a team of players walking off the field, dejected and hurt of course, but still able to hold their heads up high.
I think this is what the author had in mind when he said, “ its all in how you play the game.

Soccer Season Starts Successfullyby Fred Faust
Last Thursday^ the soccer team traveled to Hempstead, Long Island to open their season with the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra University . The Flying Dutchmen were completely grounded as the Dragon booters controlled liie game from the s ta rt and went on to score a 1-0 victory. The ]-0 score is not a real indication of how well the booters played. The score easily could have been 4 or 5 to 0 but the Dragon forwards missed many
scoring chances by m ere inches.
The Dragon booters established their superiority from the opening tip-off. The Dragon offense passed the ball smoothly up the field creating many opportunities for Dragon forwards to take shots on the Hofstra goal. Greek Centerforward Stamaitis Sotirchos sparked the offense with some fine dribbling and shot taking. Along with Sotirchos, midfielder Bruce Ho-
lub made his p rese n ce felt with a couple of strong kicks which just m issed the goal. Although the offense was im pressive they could not sco re in the initial q u ar te r.
In the second quarter the Dragon offense continued to exert themselves on offense but again they came up goalless. Their best opportunities came when left wings Ken P rager beat his man and crossed the ball to Terr>- Apstodidis who tried a step kick which just missed the right post. Also in the second quarter Turkish newcomer Chic- hat Dincel took a pass from the right wing, dribbled past two Hofstra defenders and took a shot that the goalie stepped. The Dragon defenders, like the
'offense, was im pressive in the f irs t half as they continually stopped the Hofstra forwards before they could get close to the Drexel goal. The f irs t half ended with the game still scoreless.
The third quarter again found Drexel knocking on the door of the Hofstra goal. Dincel, playing at about 50% due to severe hamstring pull, sparked the Dragon offense. He barely missed a goal on a diving head off of a com er kick. With this constant p res sure upon the Hofstra defense, It was only a m atter of time till the defense made a mistake. It did. Dincel once again dribbled past a Hofstra defender.
He was about to shoot on goal when he was pushed from behind by a Hofstra defender. The Dragons were awarded a penalty kick which left wing K en P rager easily converted, giving Drexel a 1 to 0 margin. Later in the third period, P rag e r almost scored his second goal as he took a beautiful pass from Dincel and with a defender on his back took a shot, which the driving Hofstra goal just tipped just past the left port.
It was not until the 9th quarter that Hofstra generated any real offensive thrusts but the Dragon defense was equal to the task at hand. Goalie Jim Loughran stopped one of the Hofstra forward’s shot. With only about 8 minutes left in the game the Hofstra right winger crossed the ball in front of the goal where a running Hofstra forward headed the ball toward the goal. Goalie Jim Loughran had arrived just a second too late; he did, however, manage to tip the ball but It was still headed goalward. The ball took one bounce and was almost In the goal when fresh man John M etzger, who had re treated quickly from his fullback position,kicked the ball over his head and out of danger. It was definitely a game saving play by Metzger; a tie would have been like a loss to the Dragon booters after completely dominating the game so far. The Drexel defense brightened up and held off the

The victory was a very satisfying one for the Dragon booters as It made the long bus ride worth It. Of even more Importance It got Uie booters off on the right foot with a victory which Coach Yonken feels will give the team confidence In themselves.
On Saturday, the Dragon booters needed all the confidence and effort they could m uster as they played West Chester State, always a soccer powerhouse in the Phila. area. West C hester soccer team s are known for their ability to literally run opposing team s Into the ground. Most of their p layers are physical education m ajors and are in super-g reat shape. Also the W.C. players a re not afraid of physical contact on the soccer fleldjlegal o r otherwise. Thus the Dragon booters had a workout for themselves.
The game got off to a bad start for the Dragons as W est Chester scored a goal on a penalty only two minutes Into the game.

Mistakes proved costly Saturday as the Drexel Dragons dropped their second game In as many decisions, this time to the Lafayette Leopards. Statistically, the Dragons dominated the game from sta rt to finish, however, the game ended with the Dragons on the short end of a 21-13 score.
Following the opening kickoff they ominously set the tone for the day by fumbling on third down at the Dragon 27. However, the Drexel defense immediately established the fact that the Lafayette offense was In for a long afternoon. Gary Chuisano broke through on f irs t down and dumped QB John Hlckl for a 5 yd. loss. Paul Lit followed suit by once again socking Hlckl, this time for a ten yard loss. A Lafayette pass on tliird down fell incomplete, forcing a punt.
Drexel took the ball on tlieir twelve yard line and started up- field. With Damiy Miller doing the bulk of the carrying behind the blocking Art Swlatkowskl and Mike Jolmson, Drexel moved the ball all ttie way down to the Lafayette 30. Here the second of six costly fumbles broke their momentum and turned the ball over. Four players later, Lafayette, unable to move the ball, punted to Jeff UeVault,who turned on the 11,000 plus fans with some exceUent open field running and returned the ball 54 yds for tlie first Drexel score. The con
version failed, leaving Drexel with a 6-0 lead.
The ensuing Lafayette drive was aborted by the hard hitting defense which resulted In a fumble recovery by Inside linebacker Ed Shubert on the Drexel 41. The offense, unable to capitalize, punted the ball away.
Lafayette once again was met by stiff resistance from Carl Smith and John Yeager. Drexel took over on its own 23. Ten plays la ter the backfield trio of Broglie, Miller, and Galeone had accounted for seventy-seven yards and Drexel’s second score with Galeone busting In from the 7. This was an excellent example of ball control and good up front blocking.
Following the kickoff Lafayette, still unable to cope with the Drexel defense, punted deep into Drexel te rrito ry . The ball took a weird hop on the astro turf and bounded away from the Dragon receiver, who was unable to come up with it in the end zone. When the scramble was over, Doug Elgin had the ball, good for seven points and Lafayette’s biggest break of the game.
The half ended wltli Drexel holding a 13-7 advantage.

the lead to Lafayette 14-13.Drexel, unable to generate any
offense, turned to punter Herb Clark to get out of a hole. Herb responded beautifully with a 65 yard boomer placing the ball on the opponents sixteen. Hickl hit Haertel for 26 yards on the next play, moving the ball up to the forty. Two plays la te r Hlckl found Bob Baumann behind the Drexel defenders who danced on In for 62 yards moving Lafayette further ahead by a score of 21-13.
Following an exchange of punts, Tuffy Merrick intercepted Hickl and gave Drexel the ball on their own 33. From here Pat Duffy and the rest of the offensive line showed the way for Galeone and M iller who moved tlie ball to tlie Lafayette 6 where the defenders called time out. Here Drexel abandoned tlieir running plays, which had proved so successful, to seek fortune through the a ir. A fourtii down pass fell incomplete crushing all hopes for at least a tie.
The Dragons spurred on by Milke Denieter’s two fine catches, never quit trying, but it just seemed that fate was against them as time elapsed before they could m uster a final effort.
This week we look forward to Drexel’s elimination of costly mistakes w h i c h is a must if they are to overcome tlie the delense-minde<l Kings Point squad.
