EXHIBIT AT PA.
FLOWER SHOW
NETS AWARDS

The Delaware Valley College
exhibit at the Spring Flower Show
in Philadelphia has been awarded
the Pennsylvania Horticulture So-
ciety Gold Medal and the Pennsyl-
vania Horticulture Society Special
Award. The Judges commended the
exhibit "for educational value de-
monstrating the importance of
modern, scientific, growth regu-
lators."

The exhibit was planned, staged,
and is being cared for by the
students in the Department of Or-
namental Horticulture. The boys
began planning the exhibit in
September. The plant material used
was grown by the students in the
greenhouses on campus.

A tremendous selection of an-
nuals and perennials was used in
staging this exhibit. Petunias,
strawflowers, marigolds, chrysan-
themums, flowering kale, alyssum,
bromiliads, orchids, and many
others could be seen in the Dela-
ware Valley College exhibit.

PROGRESS

IN CAMPUS

BEAUTIFICATION

This paper has at times been
quite critical of what we felt was a
degeneration of our campus with
regard to landscaping and general
campus esthetics. Perhaps in a
sense we have been too critical,
for there is more to this story than
meets the eye. It may be true that
there are weak spots in our present
campus landscaping but there is a
massive effort being initiated to
beautify this campus, and to bring
to the attention of the Student Body
the wealth of flora already existing
on this campus. Through this
article the Furrow will explore the

FURROW POLITICAL POSITION

The Furrow has chosen to remain neutral with respect to the
1969 Class Elections. However at times it may seem that all major
candidates are not given equal time in each issue. The Furrow does
not control the subject matter of its writers and we can only print
that which we receive. If you feel that the candidate of your choice
is not receiving equal treatment, we urge you to submit your views
on his behalf. The Furrow itself will remain unbiased.

Larry's Views

LARRY MARTEL

THE STALE ROLLS

The only exciting happening at
the Dining Hall these days is the
odds making on when the first per-
son will be konked out by a flying
roll. Yes, as things grow old they
get tough and hard, and rolls are
no exception. So, although the
rolls might break a trash can if
they were thrown out, it might be
better than the odds on when the
first person will be konked out by
a stale flying roll.

That One For
The Mixer

Just as the mixers are getting a
little bit better a certain student
regularly shows up in his state of
mind and tries to dance without
falling over. He is not hard to pick
out since he wears the same outfit
with that wierd hat and alwavs
looking like a fanner out on trie
town. If the mixers are to prove
that DVC is a swinging place why
do we need a visual attraction on
the dance floor, one who, without
regard to gender, butts, pushes and
cuts his way in between the danc-
ers in order to do his funny little
act. He tries to get laughs with
his actions but he only adds to the
wrong kind of image for DVC. The
question is why, with Student Gov-
ernment members at the doors and
faculty at the mixers, is he allowed
to come in all the time when he
looks and smells like he has had
one too many 'Mountain Dews?'

Early Applications

Requested By
The Peace Corps

The Peace Corps has urged stu-
dents who wish to be considered
for summer training programs to
submit their applications soon,
preferably by early April.

Last year, many students who
planned to enter Peace Corps serv-
ice' in the summer after graduation
were disappointed when their ap-
plications were not processed in
time, according to the Northeast
Peace Corps Cetner in Boston.

An average of 10 weeks passes
between the receipt of an applica-
tion in Washington and the issu-
ance of an invitation to Peace
Corps training.

As summer approaches, the proc-
essing time is longer due to the
increased work load. Therefore,
many programs are filled or have
started training before late appli-
cations can be completely proc-
essed.

Applications and Peace Corps
information are available on many
campuses from the Peace Corps
liaison. The nearest Peace Corps
office is in Philadelphia at the Fed-
eral Building, 1421 Cherry Street.
Phone: (215) 597-2129.

From S. C.
Secretary

ROBERT WINNER

On March 11, a long awaited policy went into effect. The Student
Government accepted the Administration's, revision of the Proposed
Amendment to General Regulations #7 of the Student Handbook con-
cerning proper grooming. The plan is as follows: "All students are re-
quired to meet acceptable standards, as established by the College and
the Student Government, concerning personal cleanliness and proper
grooming. Students shall be cleanshaven and shall keep their hair cut to
a conservative length. Moustaches and sideburns will be permitted if
they are neatly trimmed and meet contemporary standards."

"The length of sideburns will hot be permitted to extend beyond the
base of the ear lobe, and the length of the moustaches is not to extend
beyond the upper lip."

Student Government has the authority to regulate the enforcement of
this grooming regulation. Upon the first offense a summons to Student
Court will be issued and if the defendent is found guilty a fine of $3.00
will be administered. Also, a manditory correction of the infraction com-
mitted will be required within one week after the court decision. Upon
the second offense a fine of $6.00 and possible Student Government pro-
bation, along with correction of the infraction within one week of the
decision, will constitute the penalty.

As outlined by the Student Government, this policy is on a trial basis
for the balance of this academic year. The Administration stipulates that
"the Student Government will re-evaluate the situation and submit its
findings to the Administration for its consideration at the end of this
college year."

The success of this project lies in the co-operation of even student,
because the Administration has also stipulated ". . . that if the Student
Government does not properly enforce the rule, they will th< a. have to
take proper steps to correct the situation."

In speaking for all Student Government members, who are respon-
sible for the students adhering to these principles, I would like to ask
you for your full co-operation in this matter. A lack of co-operation will
result in the relinquishing of this privilege for everyone. Let's not lose
what has taken us so long to obtain!
Respectfully submitted,

Show Plans

Plans for this year's "A" Day
Flower Show are now being formu-
lated. The Flower Show Commit-
tee of the Ornamental Horticulture
Society has expanded some areas
of the show while it has dropped
other areas due to the lack of in-
terest in them.

The show will be staged in All-
man Hall Lecture Hall on Saturday
and Sunday, May 3 and 4.

Interested students, faculty, and
employees of the College should

The Delaware Valley College
Apiarist Society's officers for 1969-
70 are as follows:

President Gary Christensen

V. Pres. Richard Hider

Secretary Philip Irwin

Treasurer Daniel Helwin

Publications Representative l

Richard A. Hoffman
"A-Day" Repersentative Tom Cook
Club Photographer Chris Whelan
Advisor Dr. R. Berthold

The Apiarist Society is an organ-
ization concerned with the culture
and study of bees. Under the guid-
ance of Dr. Berthold, the Society
has been active in a number of
interesting projects throughout the
past year. The main project con-
cerning the Apiarist Society at this
time is the building of a honey
house. The honey house will be
used as an extracting room in
which honey, taken from the honey
comb of the bee hive, will be ex-
tracted, poured into jars, and then
sold. If construction continues as
planned, the Delaware Valley Col-
lege Honey House will be one of
the best of its kind in the East.

During the "A-Day" festivities,
various types of honey and other
bee products will be on sale. In
addition, displays and exhibits are
being prepared by the members.

The Apiarist Society Banquet
was held at the Water Wheel Inn
on February 14, 1969. Every mem-
ber and guest enjoyed dining
around the old-fashioned open
hearth fireplace and was stimulated
by the atmosphere of the Inn. Gary
Christensen and Richard Hider
were the lucky winners of the door
prize. Congratulations!

An invitation to become a mem-
ber of the Apiarist Society is ex-
tended to any student who thinks
he may have even the slightest in-
terest in bees. The time, place, and
date of the next meeting of the So-
ciety will be posted on yellow hex-
ogonal signs. If interested, please
attend.

Dairy Society

Elects

New Officers

For 1969-70

The Dairy Society of Delaware
Valley College held two regular
meetings during the month of Feb-
ruary. These meetings laid the
foundation for a more progressive
and successful Dairy Society in the
coming year. At the meeting held
February 10th the group, lead by
past president Ken Schoenberg,
elected officers for the 1969-70
year. The new officers are as fol-
lows:

President
Vice President
Secretary
Treasurer

Donald Koontz

Ed Lamberton

Earl Weaver

Bill Bryant

The second meeting of the month
was held February 24th. At that
meeting committee reports and dis-
cussion dealt with such subjects as
the club trip, A-Day exhibits, and
the showmanship and fitting con-
test. Wayne Quinn was appointed
program chairman by the presi-
dent. President Koontz reported on
his inquiry into the possibility of
our group becoming a member of
the American Dairy Science Asso-
ciation.

The speaker for the evening was
Mr. Earl Waltemyer, manager and
president of Walebe Farms, Inc.,
Col lege ville, Pa. Mr. Waltemyer
discussed his operation with the
Society, pointing out various man-
agerial practices as well as his
goals for the future. Mr. Walte-
myer pointed out that before de-
claring a profit one should care-
fullv consider one's own labor and
depreciation costs. With reference
to breeding, Mr. Waltemyer advo-
cates somewhat limited use of
young and unproven sires.

The club plans many more edu-
cational and interesting speakers
throughout the coming year and
wishes to extent a warm welcome
to all those who may wish to at-
tend.

Dr. Mertz speaks in the Segal Hall Bio -Lab as guest of the Science Society.

0. H. Hosts
Speakers

The Ornamental Horticulture So-
ciety kicked off their second semes-
ter with a fine speaker, Mr. Bruce
Keyser. the plant propagator from
The Morris Arboretum. Mr. Key-
ser spoke on certain native plans
which should be used in landscap-
ing more often. Many of these
plants have unusual characteristics
which are desirable to the home
owner, such as peeling bark in the
Paperbark Maple and the unique
drooping flowers of the Bearberry.
The talk was illustrated with slides
showing these plants in their nat-
ural growth habitat.

Mr. Keyser brought some rare
plants, such as a variegated Red
Pine, from the arboretum as a gift
to the school. These plants were
greatly appreciated since they will
boost the plant material inventory
of the College.

Other interesting speakers on the
agenda are Mr. Patrick A. Nutt and
Mrs. Ernesta Ballard. Mr. Nutt is
a graduate of The Royal Botanic
Gardens and The Wisley School of
Gardening and will speak on trop-
ical plants. He is a noted authority
on this topic. Mrs. Ballard is the
Director or The Pennsylvania Hor-
ticultural Society which sponsers
the Philadelphia Flower Show. Her
topic is, as yet, unannounced.
Other speakers are in the process
of being asquired to make the O.H.
Chlb interesting to all.

At the March 11 meeting of the
Ornamental Horticulture Socfety in
Mandell Hall, the club heard the
distinguished authority on tropical
plant material from Longwood Gar-
dens, Patrick Nutt. Mr. Nutt was
accompanied by David Gilchrist, a
foreign exchange student from
Scotland who is presently on a
work/study program at Longwood
Gardens.

Mr. Nutt discussed the many fac-
tors involved in tropical plant care
in artificial environments. This por-
tion of the lecture was followed by
a fine collection of slides of plant
material indigenous to the tropics.
Up also included a group of slides

MR. PATRICK A. NUTT

on different structural designs em-
ployed in various tropical plant
houses throughout the world.

Mr. Nutt was the first plant
breeder successful in crossing the
two species of tropical water plat-
ters, Victoria cruziana and Victoria
amazonica. His hybrid exhibited
profound heterosis. The leaves of
this plant reach more than six feet
in diameter.

Mr. Nutt is a graduate of the
Royal Horticultural Society's School
at Wisley, England, the Royal Bo-
tanic Gardens at Kew, England,
and the University of London's
Night School. He is presently in
charge of many of the tropical
plants and waterlilies at Longwood
in Kennett Square, Pa., where he
has been employed since 1957. His
articles appear in many botanical
journals.

Conservation
In Action

On March 6, 1969, Jim Kern-
merer presided over a meeting of
the Soil Conservation Society as
club president for the first time.
Jim's first business was to suggest
tha twe have bi-monthly meetings
instead of the monthly meetings
we had had during the previous
year. These meetings will be held
on the first and third Thursdays of
the month. On the first Thursday
of each month we will have guest
speakers and scheduled programs,
and on the third Thursday of each
month we will have our regular
business meeting.

On April 14th, the members of
the Soil Conservation Society will
be taking a trip to the coal mine
spoils in the anthracite region at
Kingston, Pennsylvania. We will
be taken on a tour to witness the
reclamation of such an area. Also,
on the same day, we will be going
to Ashland, Pennsylvania, to see
how a coal mine operates.

Our Society also enjoyed the
presentation of a guest speaker,
Mr. Robert Burns, who has been
in the National Park Service for
twenty-five years. Mr. Burns pre-
sented us with an interesting slide
program on American Indian af-
fairs and the way of life of the
Indians.

Circle K Is

On -The
Road Again

The Delaware Valley College
Circle K Club is on the move. After
a somewhat slow first semester, the
club, stimulated by the enthusiasm
of several new freshmen and the
experienced sophomores, is again
among the most active on campus.

Elections were held on February
4th. The results were: Treasurer,
Steve Schwartz 71; Secretary,
Richard Serwell 71; Vice Presi-
dent, Tom Menendez 72; and Pres-
ident, Dana Ingerto 71.

The Circle K has many campus
and community service projects
planned for this spring semester.
Among them are the second an-
nual car rally, a hayride for under-
privileged children from Philadel-
phia, landscaping and beautifying
the New Britain train station, a
night of W. C. Fields films for stu-
dent entertainment, the showing of
cartoons for childrcns' amusement
over the A-Day weekend, and
many more enjoyable and reward-
ing ventures.

The Circle K depends primarily
upon support from the freshman
class in the form of active mem-
bers in our club. We urge fresh-
men to look in on one of our meet
ings and give us a try.

Mr. Lunar studies his next move as
the Contemporary Club holds its
Annual Faculty-Student Chess Eve-
ning.

CHESS EVENING
A SUCCESS

The Contemporary Club hold its an-
nual Faculty-Student Chess Evening on
March 5th. As was the case last year,
the Faculty showed up the students and
in 'most eases went undefeated for the
evening. The faculty members in at-
tendance included Dr. Goldberg, Mr.
Lugar, and Mr. O'Brien.

The Contemporary Club would like to
take this opportunity to thank the Facul-
ty mentioned and all the students who,
through their participation, made this
evening the success we feel it was.

The club is presently making plans for
its May 9th mixer, which will be the
last mixer of the year. The Contemporary
Club is determined to make this mixer,
which is one of the first mixers to be
club-sponsored in recent years, one of
the, if not the, best mixer of the year.

FOOD CLUB
TRIP PLANNED

Dr. Turner, our faculty advisor,
thanked the club as a whole for
surprising him with the clock that
was given to him at our banquet.

The F. I. Club would also again
like to thank Mr. Grau for his help
in supplying the orchid corsages
for the wiyes of our guests.

Larry Young, our intramural
representative, congratulated t h e
clubs basketball team on their
second-place finish with a record
of 7-2. Members interested in play-
ing softball are asked to sign up
now.

Gary Filko, our president, said
that plans were now in progress
for an up-coming trip to the Her-
shey Plant in Hershey, Pa. He
also asked for a motion to buy ads
in both the Senior yearbook and
the "A-Day" program. Such a mo-
tion was made, seconded, and
passed by the club. At the end of
the meeting a film on safety on skis,
entitled, "Rules for the Slope," was
shown.

Any Food Industry majors or
Freshmen contemplating majoring
in Food Industry who wish to join
the club are invited to attend our
bi-monthly meetings.

National
Convention

The Horticulture Society is plan-
ning to send three or four members
to the National Convention of the
American Collegiate Branch of the
American Society for Horticultural
Science. This year the convention
is being held from August 19-22 at
the University of Washington in
Pullman, Washington. Chapters of
the collegiate branches from all
over the United States will be rep-
resented. As a note of significant
interest, the Delaware Valley Col-
lege chapter has by far the largest
membership in the A.GB.H.S.

Delaware Valley had two arti-
cles written up in the fall issue of
the Green Leaf, the A.C.B.H.S.'s
national booklet. Both articles were
written by seniors Ron Attarian
and Dennis Kalinowski. Dennis is
past president of the Hort. Society
and is now the president of the
A.C.B.H.S. This is an achievement
that Delaware Valley can be quite
proud of.

Another first was achieved by
the Horticulture Society. This
year's treasury reached in all-time
high from the sale of apples and
cider at the football games. This
is the highest amount in the So-
ciety's history.

In coordination with Mr. Howell,
the Society presently has plans for
both a spray and pruning schedule
for the apple orchards. This pro-
gram should bring better quality
fruit and much larger yields.

Mr. Frecon is working on plans
to plant a new orchard primarily
for educational purposes. The
planned orchard will show the dif-
ferent types of rootstocks as well as
many varieties of fruit. Details will
be made available later.

Later on in the spring the So-
ciety has planned for several speak-
ers to come and speak at one of
the meetings.

President Mark Eutermoser presid-
ing. Topics discussed were plans
for getting new members pledged
for the spring semester, the service
project with the Y.M.C.A. in Doy-
lestown, and the sale of the Co-
' lumbia Viking Deck Encyclopedia.

The encyclopedia will be sold in
the cafeteria during the next sev-
eral weeks. The price is reduced
from $1.95 to .75. This is a good
desk encyclopedia which can be
used for reports and it has a lot of
useful reference material contained
in it.

If any one is interested in becom-
ing a member of the fraternity
please come to the next regular
meeting.

CAMPUS BEAUTIFICATION

(Continued)

plans and the work in the area of
campus beautification as of the pre-
sent time.

One must realize that certain
areas of the campus can't be land-
scaped until construction has been
completed in those areas. For ex-
ample, it would have been foolish
to beautifully landscape the areas
surrounding the Library only to
see it ripped apart by construction
vehicles and such. Also the students
can blame themselves for some of
the problem of campus beauty.
Walking across the grass, littering,
and general disregard for campus
grounds certainly do not help mat-
ters. Also a problem exists with
vehicles damaging lawn areas when
their wheels run off the paved traf-
fic ways. This is both a College
and a Student problem and it will
be up to both to correct it.

We can now see why certain con-
ditions exist but this does not
answer the question of what is be-
ing planned and what is actually
being done NOW with regard to
campus beautification.

Everywhere one looks one sees
work being done to develop a more
beautiful campus area. The new
dorms are presently being land-
scaped. The memorial in front of
Allman Hall will be landscaped as
soon as the ground is workable.
The new Farm Machinery Building
has been beautifully landscaped
with the help of the Junior OH
majors. A gazebo has been erected
near Lake Archer. The new
Schmieder Arboretum has been
initiated. These are among many,
many other beautification projects.
The Henry Schmieder Arbore-
tum, presently being developed
with the help of Mr. Benner and
his O.H. Field Labs, will add im-
measurably to the beauty of our
campus. Moreover, the new arbore-
tum will aid in the education of
our students and the visiting pub-
lic. When completed it will encom-
pass the entire main campus area
and will be one of the finest Ar-
boretums in the East. The main
path of the arboretum will extend
around Lake Archer, up to and to
the side of the greenhouses, and
behind the dormitories to the park-
ing area. Much of the plant material
will be grouped, that is, certain
Ilex in one area, an Azalea collec-
tion in another, and the like. Plant
material throughout the entire
arboretum will be labeled, giving
information such as place of origin,
genus, species, and common name.
The Plant Science Dept, un-
der the direction of Dr. Feldstein,
is now in the process of taking an
inventory of campus plant material.
Soon students and visitors will be
able to obtain a complete listing of
college plants giving their name
and location.

All in all, our College is steadily
moving forward with ambitious pro-
grams of campus esthetics. But
things take time, and they must be
done in accordance with a plan and
executed in the proper sequence.
However, with the patience and
active support of the Student Body
the high goals will be attained.

Mr, Henry Schmieder died on June 12, 1964. He was born on July 22, 1892, and became
a member of the staff of the National Farm School in March, 1921. He was Professor of
Biology and Director of the College Arboretum at the time of his death.

The College has lost a man — an extraordinary man — who made an indelible impression
on all who knew him. The casual question, "Is Mr. Schmieder around?" asked on unnum-
bered occasions by alumni visiting the campus, is the most eloquent measure of the place
he held in the minds and hearts of those who knew him.

Henry Schmieder, a man who knew so much about so many things, a man who could
teach English as well as biology or apiculture, was a humble man. He was a scholar; a man
with an intensely inquiring mind; a man who never ceased to be a student of the life he
found everywhere about him. He respected and admired knowledge, but he remained a
teacher who found in ignorance an opportunity to create an understanding that had not
existed before. He was punctual to a minute, but never lacked the time for worthwhile
discussion. Like Socrates, he taught by ceaseless questioning.

His love of plants and animais was as much a part of him as the air he breathed. The
breadth and depth of his understanding and sympathy for all that was human can be
plumbed only in the hearts of the many whose lives are better for having known him.

Mr. Schmieder, ever an individualist, was dedicated to the College, and devoted to his
family. He gave much, and asked for little. A few lines written by the German poet Heine,
and known by Mr. Schmieder, reflect his understanding of nature which he loved so dearly.

One shall sing no mass.

One shall say no mourning prayer.

Nothing shall he asked;

Nothing shall be done.

On my day of death.

"SHOWTIME" A BIG SUCCESS

"Brutus with a pie in his eye?" Sound crazy? That's just what Newman
Gym was like on Saturday night during Spring Weekend. Really wild!
As far as talent was concerned, the Juniors really "Let it all hang out"
and their variety show was a roaring success. The student participation
was good and the turn-out was a "Full house". With everyone sitting on
bleachers and blankets on the floor, there was an atmosphere of relaxation
and fun throughout the show. And fun it was! Ranging from a variety of
very talented Folk music guitar playing and singing to a number of un-
believably funny, only-an-Aggie-would-do-it, comedy skits. It was really
worthwhile seeing and also an experience to remember, but most of all,
a very well planned and executed Variety Show. "Hats off to Rich Pal-
masano and Wayne Mehalick who were in charge of the show production,
and to all the other Aggies who participated both by displaying their
"hidden talents" and by being there. Now, if you ever hear anyone knock
"Aggie Talent" around, just tell them to check with "Brutus Spanish."

CINEMA

Romeo &
REVIEWED

What's the first thing you think
of when someone says "Romeo &
Juliet"? Of course the first thing
would probably be William
Shakespeare's famous tragedy and
the hard -to -remember fines you
had to learn in lOth-grade English
class. Whatever you think of, one
thing is for sure: the modern movie
version of "Romeo & Juliet" is def-
initely one of the best pictures of
the >ear. The actors, Olivia Hus-
sey, 16 and Len Whiting, 19, are
truly great performers and each
line they deliver has the exact live-
liness and "soul touching" senti-
ment which Shakespeare intended
when he wrote his masterpiece.

Unlike the long, drawn-out and
complicated story some people
think it to be, the movie is com-
pletely and unexpectedly the op-
posite. It is a beautiful, lively story
filled with a lot of love, enough
violence, a bit of humor here and
there, and sadness. All combined,
it spells out "a groovy movie": the
real Romeo & Juliet — the way we
always wanted to see them.

BOOK REVIEW

The Tragedy Of Lyndon Johnson, by Eric Goldman (Alfred A. Knopf,
New York, N. Y., 1969, 531 pp., $8.95), presents an unbiased account of
the reasons for the political downfall of former President Lyndon Baines
Johnson. The book reviewer, Dr. Peter Glick, Jr., is Professor of General
Studies at Delaware Valley College, Doylestown, Pa.

Lyndon Baines Johnson emerges from Eric Goldman's The Tragedy Of
Lyndon Johnson not as a tragic figure but rather as a giant of a man with
strengths and weaknesses of monumental proportions. The book's value
rests on its historian-author's attempt at objectivity. Continually temper-
ing his personal observations with the opinions and quotations of others,
Professor Goldman succeeds in presenting an exciting and relatively
impartial appraisal of our thirty-sixth President.

Obviously disillusioned with his position as "Intellectual-In-Residence"
at the White House and with the President's Viet Nam policy (Mrs.
Lyndon Johnson said in mid-1965, "I just hope that foreign problems do
not keep mounting. They do not represent Lyndon's kind of Presidency" )
the author withdrew from the Johnson administration in September, 1966
to rejoin the Princeton University faculty and to complete this book.
Other historians have written about other Presidents, but very few of
them have contributed as much to our understanding of the Presidency,
its pressures, its operation, its subtle traps. Perhaps some historians will
learn from Dr. Goldman's approach and attempt their own biographies of
Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and, later on, Nixon. One wonders if
these Presidents, exposed to the same probing analysis, will fare as well
as did Lyndon Johnson.

The descriptions about the relationships between Johnson, his wife
and his subordinates provide fresh insights into the character of the
former President. He demanded absolute lovaltv and dedication from
everyone who worked for him. Continually stirring up competition among
his aides, he would favor one for a time and then, without apparent
cause would switch his attention and the semblance of power to another.
This type of inconsistency was compatible with his volatile nature that
moved from bouncy confidence to anger or to moody silence. His chief
aide, Walter Jenkins, cracked under the strain and Jenkins' successor,
Bill Moyers, resorted to every means, even dishonesty, to retain his lofty
position in the White House hierarchy. The author demonstrated that
there was little fun in working as a White House staff member during
the Johnson administration and that the undercurrent of fear and intrigue
and overwork forced many appointees to leave their posts before January,
1969. Yet, President Johnson discussed almost everything openly with
his wife and he respected her opinion on everything. She seldom argued
with him or took a firm stand and, as she once said, explaining her ap-
proach to her husband, "I infiltrate." Raised in the rough and tumble of
Texas and national politics, President Johnson rated loyalty as the highest
virtue and Mrs. Johnson was really the only person whose loyalty he
never questioned.

The book's universality is evidenced by its relevence not only to the
U. S. Presidency, but also to a wide variety of other top executive posi-

WORLD

PRISMATIC
VIEWS

by JOHN FURPHY

A. W. O. L ?

At the present time Sp4 Edwin C. Amett, a GI cook, is on trial for
desertion. He, like some others, fled to Sweden to get away from what
he claims is an unjust war. These servicemen are mostly a bunch of kids
still holding on to their mothers* apron strings. The first time they are
given an order that displeases them they think they can run away from
it. Fortuantely their kind is few and far between. We would be in a sorry
shape if everyone could have his own way and do what he wants to do.

Many eyes are watching the outcome of this trial. If Arnett does not
receive the maximum punishment it could set off a chain reaction among
servicemen and it will be very disasterous to the Uniform Code of Mili-
tary Justice. As of the present time Arnett claims himself to be guilty of
A.W.O.L. (absent without leave). According to the Military Code a
person absent from his assigned post for over 30 days is to be considered
a deserter. Yet now, after being in Sweden for almost a year, Arnett still
does not admit to being a deserter.

He says that he could not live on the $10 a week provided to him by
Swedish welfare. Many fellows are attracted to the Scandanavian Coun-
tries because of the supposedly — 'FREE LOVE". I doubt very much
that you could call it FREE. I believe the reason Arnett returned was
because he found out, like I did, that there is no other country in the
world like the United States. In fact many of the so-called Poor-People
here, who may have no money for food but always manage to have
enough to buy cars, cigarettes and booze, would be considered very
rich in many parts of the world.

Arnett must be made an example of in order to keep discipline in the
military, for without discipline chaos would prevail.

BOOK REVIEW

(Continued from page 7)

tions. Many of the character traits of Lyndon Johnson are found in execu-
tives who nave struggled to the heights in their own fields: a gregarious
nature; driving ambition; devotion to hard work; exceptional ability;
thirst for power; and a huge ego. President Johnson possessed all of these
traits and, unlike many top executives, he was also "at the head of the
class in intellectual ability". What got him into political trouble was not
only the Viet Nam War, but was also his inability to sublimate his own
ego to the point where he could gain the confidence, respect and affection
of the American people by means of honest communication. Although he
was a superb politician, he was not a warm, affable person who was ,
capable of easily winning friends and supporters. His political and legisla-
tive victories, with the possible exception of the 1964 Presidential election,
were earned through superhuman effort that would have destroyed a
weaker man. He could not understand why people did not like him, and
most Americans undoubtedly agreed with the honest, old Washington
character who told him bluntly during the 1964 campaign, "... Mr.
President, you are not a very likeable man." Always remembering his
relatively humble background and the low status of his education at
Southwest Texas State Teachers College, he felt uneasy with the graduates
of Ivy League colleges and with intellectuals in general. His feeling of
insecurity often made him belligerent, and he especially disliked the
Kennedys who, to him, were symbols of that element of American society.
Of Bobby Kennedy he said, "The upstart's come up too fast. He skipped
the grades where you learn the rules of life. He never liked me and that's
nothing compared to what I think of him."

In spite of his failure to develop rapport with the American people,
President Johnson did wheel and deal through Congress almost every
piece of legislation that he and the public wanted. His unparalleled
knowledge of Congress and its inner workings gleaned through his years
as a Congressman and as minority and majority leader of the Senate,
helped to make him one of the most effective Chief Legislators in all of
American Presidential history. The Great Society Program, including the
Civil Rights legislation, stands as a living record of his contribution to
human progress. The author intimates that Lyndon Johnson also achieved
his goal of unifying the nation by forcing the South back into the main-
stream of American life. To explain his personal views of the Presidency,
Lyndon Johnson frequently told his listeners that, "An old man on the
Hill said to me a long time ago that there are administrations that do

There were no presentations of this coveted award in the last issue
but we have tried to make up for that by this large scale Gherkin give-
away- The men listed below nave shown through their actions that they
have reached that point in their College life when it is time to stand
among those many other gallant souls who have received the pickle.

( 1 ) Fred C. Harteis, President of the Sophomore Class. Certain mem-
bers of his class strongly suggest to The Furrow that Fred be
awarded the Gherkin for what they termed his 'railroad job' meet-
ings. Too bad Fred! Guess you can't please everybody.

(2) Quentin Schleider and other occupants of Cooke Hall. Quentin and
a few other gallant men of Cooke truly welcomed the girls to their
dorm this Spring Weekend by removing every lightbulb from every
light socket in their rooms. Nothing like revenge!

(3) John N. Nice, Treasurer of the Student Government. Mr. Nice
missed three SG meetings in a row. His excuses for not attending
the meetings are somewhat vague. Above and beyond that, there
are certain clubs on campus that have waited months to receive
monies for work rendered at this year's mixers. For falling asleep
at the throttle John gets a 'Green One'.

(4) Arnie Kolman. At the recent Junior Class Variety Show one of the
most tasteless and crude offerings was performed by Mr. Kolman.
The piece which Arnie tried to sing was entitled 'Plastic Jesus.'

RETRACTION

An honest mistake brought to our attention has caused us to reconsider
Stan Sitarski as a Gherkin Award Candidate. We have decided that we
may have been unfair to Mr. Sitarski and therefore retract our award.

and some that don't. This one is gonna do." He was always concerned
with his place in history and he made it quite clear that he wanted to be
remembered as a President who accomplished what he set out to do.

In the final chapter of the book, Professor Goldman summarized his
own opinion of a selection of President Johnson's most inspiring speeches
and, thereby, of Johnson, by writing: "History has been generous, and it
should be, to Presidents who have talked like that and taken action to
turn the talk into laws. Probably history will be generous — and it should
be — to Lyndon Johnson." Although he didn't say so in his book, Dr. Gold-
man would probably rate President Johnson as one of our "great" or
"near great" Presidents. For, Goldman pointed out that Jefferson and
Jackson and Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roose-
velt were vilified during their administrations. And that Wilson and
Truman were abused and rejected not only by the people but also by
their own political parties during the latter part of their administrations.
And that scholars and scholar-historians now rate all of these former
Presidents as either "great" or "near great". If Goldman and these experts
are right, isn't it reasonable to assume that Lyndon Baines Johnson will
be rated by future historians equal or above most of these famous Presi-
dents? Dr. Goldman seems to agree; and I imagine that the readers of
this book, who recognize that Presidents — even those with strengths and
weaknesses of monumental proportions like Lyndon Baines Johnson —
are only human beings, will agree also.

HUMAN

Happily, the basketball and wrestling squads ended in tournaments.
Unfortunately, neither team could make it through to the finals. But all in
all, it was a fine season for both as Coach Silan's Hoopsters went 13-9,
finishing third in the Northern Division, and Coach Steiler's Grapplers
were 8-1 in his first coaching effort at DVC.

The basketball team rebounded from a last-second loss at Muhlenberg
to whip Drew, 105-73. At the playoffs in Albright they met second-place
Scranton in a rematch of Feb. 11 when they lost to the Royals 72-66 in
Scranton. The Aggies led 35-31 at the half as Bob McEntee bombed
away for 13 tallies. But Scranton's defense collapsed around Mac and
Don Sechler, taking away DelVal's 1-2 punch, and won going away by a
74-63 count. The Royals sophomore guard-forward Gene Mumford was
outstanding as he scored 39 points, got 13 rebounds and passed off for
7 assists. McEntee wound up with 19 points followed by Seck's 14 and
Ralph White's 12. Scranton went on to defeat Juniata in the finals.

Don Sechler had another superb season. He led the team in every
offensive category except assists, breaking the records for field goals
scored, free throws made, rebounds, and points scored. He led the M-A-C
in rebounds and was third in scoring. Last week he was selected to the
E-C-A-C Division III Team for the Season, as well as numerous All-

Three outstanding careers ended at Albright as seniors Mars Seiferth,

McEntee is in the heat of the action as Del Val tries its best to topple

spirit and determination even to the final seconds of the game.

Chamberlain goes for the pin. It's clear to see why Ev has his

in DVC history. "Bones" bowed out u one of four players to score more
than a thousand points in his career and set numerous free-throw standards
which will be tought to beat. He led the team in rebounds his first two
years and shared the leadership with Sechler last season. And Ken
Schoenberg had his finest season both on and off the court; his hustle
and clutch baskets enabled him to become a starter.

Named by Coach Stan to DVC's All-Opponent team were Guards John
Scholl of Albright, Ned Rahn, Muhlenberg, and Ron Coley, Drexel. The
forwards were Millersville's "Butch" Cleaver and of course Gene Mum-
ford, Scranton. And at center is Lycoming's Tom Henderson.

The wrestlers had their ups and downs, barely losing to Lycoming.
15-12, who defeated Wilkes. But then they travelled to the Colonels' den
and got clobbered by the number five team in the country, 42-0.

In the tournament at Muhlenberg, Steve Burnett ( 145) made it to the
finals before bowing to Dennis Verzera of Wilkes. Stan Lapetz (130)
lost a heartbreaker in the semis, a 2-1 overtime decision. And Captain
Everett Chamberlain (177) was eliminated in the semis when his op-
ponent, last year's champion of his class, scored with ten seconds to go
in the bout and won, 5-4. Chamberlain, certainly one of the finest wrest-
lers in the M-A-C, ended his season with a 10-1 mark and his career with
a gaudy 26-4 dual meet log.

The Aggies, by the way, finished seventh as a team in the competi-
tion which includes the University Division as well. Wilkes regain then-
team title.

And so the winter sports scene ends, but with the hope of even better
results next year.

Ralph White attempts to shoot hut the strong Muhlenberg team is
just as determined to block it. Muhlenberg captured a win in the
final seconds of the game.

CAR RALLY

SMASH

The second annual Circle K car
rally proved to he another smash-
ing success in more than one way.
Fortunately it was only a V.W. fen-
der and no one was injured. Thirty-
three ears entered the rally and
eighteen finished, which was a re-
markable improvement over last
year when only seven of thirty-
three cars crossed the miracle
mark. The drivers of those cars
that did finish, and even those that
did not. deserve a lot of credit for
showing real determination and
sportsmanship. Most important,
everyone had a lot of fun while rid-
ing through other counties in Penn-
sylvania. These unfortunate people
were among those that didn't finish.

Perhaps the most amusing part
of the rally was that amazing fresh-
man team in the gold Dodge
Charger that made a right turn at
the end of the school driveway
after over twenty cars before them
had turned left. Fortunately they
re-gained their sense of direction,
only to get lost again at the second
clue. Then there was the white
V.W. that had almost the exact
mileage but never found the sec-
ond clue. One could write a book
on the events of that Saturday aft-
ernoon. Better yet, if one had only
installed a tape recorder in one of
the cars that got lost at the second
or third clue .... On second
thought, maybe that's not such a
good idea.

Win or lose, the car rallv was a
unique experience for those who
dared to enter it. The Circle K
Club would like to thank all those
who entered the rally for their co-
operation and support. We are
looking forward to seeing you
again next year.

The present Student C.oiernment has often been attacked and on occasion justly. Yet if we look closely at our Student
Government it is obvious that some very im)>ortant and unorthodox leuislatioti has been passed throtigh their efforts. The
up-dated ('.rooming Code,, better and more frequent Mixers, the establishment of the security and open-door committees,
etc. are among their accomplishments.

After much controversy, this al-

A special note of thanks is due

S. G. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IN

by Larry \f artel
One thing about this college that receives its share of criticism from
the students is the Student Government. Two candidates arc willing to
do something about that situation. Gery Fisher and Bob Winner are
running for class representative offices and, if elected, they will then
proceed to run for President of Student Government. The views of the
two candidates are:

VIEWS ON STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Gery Fisher —

1. A committee of outside student advisors to help the Student Gov-
ernment should be formed.

2. Enlarge the S. G. by one person per class because of college's
growth.

3. Do work in a certain length of time.

4. Print a complete summary of meetings even week.

5. Form a committee to investigate the costs of dorm damage to find
if they are too high.

6. More communication with other colleges.

7. Articles in the newspaper.

8. Longer meetings to discuss everything fulls.

9. Have a more active vice president.

10. Allow clubs to take over more money-making affairs.

11. Should have a president that is not afraid to back down.

12. Should have a new faculty advisor each year.

13. Bring talk out of dorm rooms to the meetings.

FURROW EDITORIAL

In recent weeks complaints concerning College policies with respect
to sign erection have come to our attention. This paper can only agree
with those dissatisfied students who feel our campus is being "junked up"
by this apparent wholesale use of signs. It seems that these signs (they
appear to increase every day) are being erected with no thought given
with regard to their detractive effect on the surrounding landscape. Big
ugly metal signs one after the other on big ugly metal posts are stuck all
over lawns and among plantings and they are supplimented by ugly little
wooden signs.

A sign or two here and there, if carefully placed and of pleasing
design, can be expected. But. as with anything else, you can go too far.
It is our contention that the majority of these signs are not really neces-
sary, are redundant, and are a detraction from our campus' beauty. We
urge that the College reevaluate the need for erection of so many un-
attractive signs.

ROBERT WINNER

At the last Student Government meeting several students questioned
the existing Citizenship grading system in that a 3.0 Citizenship grade
is necessary to qualify for the Dean's List. As stated in the College Hand-
book: "The citizenship grade is derived from four equally weighed com-
ponents: attendance, professor's rating. Dean's grade, and extra curricular
rating . . . Each unexcused absence will result in the loss of .25 in the
attendance component. The professors' rating is based upon the citizen-
ship grade submitted by each of the students' professors and supposedly
. . . reflects their estimate of the student's effort and attitude in their
course during that particular semester. The Dean's grade is made up by
the Dean and Assistant Deans of students from information available to
them concerning the integrity and attitude of each student. The extra
curricular rating is bated upon demonstrated leadership, participation,
and interest in the extra curricular activities of the College. . . . Students
not participating in extra-curricular activities are rated at the minimum
satisfactory rating of 1.0 in this component and others receive ratings up
to 4.0. Any student with a citizenship grade below 1.0 is automatically
placed upon citizenship probation. Students in this status loose certain
privileges and their stancfing in the student body is jeoparized."

A lengthly discussion followed the question posed by the students at
the meeting and the following questions are some of those that were
discussed:

1. Is the system fair?

2. Is the College too big for this type of system?

3. Can the Dean and most professors truly evaluate each student?

4. Why do unexcused cuts under the limit count against a student's
citizenship grade?

5. How can the Dean know and properly evaluate off-campus ac-
tivities?

6. Why doesn't a student know his final citizenship grade when he
gets his other grades?

7. How can class advisers grade students when they have such little
contact with the students?

8. Are the present standards too high?

The advantages of the system are that a professor can grade a stu-
dent's personality without lowering the student's academic grade, and
it is often useful when applying for a job, providing the student has a
high citizenship rating.

The cjuestion arises, however, whether or not the system is really
worthwhile and whether its assets outweigh its disadvantages? Many
students believe they do not. Since the meeting I have heard many dis-
cussions in opposition to the system. Many people believe that it is not
fair and that it is not necessarily just a concern of students who qualify
academically for the Dean's List. It could also jeopardize a student in
applying for a job, especially if the rating is not very high. It has also
been pointed out that some professors do not take the citizenship rating
seriously in that they do not conscientiously evaluate each student.

Several suggestions have been offered since the meeting that definitely
should be considered in the evaluation of the citizenship rating system.
One improvement would be to include a separate sheet with the class
cards which would inform the student of his rating along with a break-
down of each area in which the student is evaluated and the rating that
he received in those areas so he could defend his position if he felt he
had not been graded fairly. Another is the possibility of each student
filling out a form describing his activities after each semester.

The Student Government voted at that meeting to recommend to the
Administration that an evaluation of the complete system be held and
appropriate changes made.

I do think the general consensus of opinion is that the system is in-
adequate and that it should be either done away with completely or at
least have its standards lowered. If you have any definite ideas or feel-
ings concerning this or any other issue, relate them to your Student Gov-
ernment Representative so he can convey them to the whole Student
Government for consideration.

Respectfully submitted,
Robert Winner, Secretary
Student Government

Letters to the Editor

POLITICS BLAMED FOR POOL
ROOM LAXITIES

Dear Sirs:

Robert Winner is responsible for the care and maintenance of the pool room in
Dorm II. It is obvious .that he lias not been closing the room at 11:00 P.M., Un-
specified time. In fact the room has often been open past midnight Also the equip-
ment has been abused without appropriate action. He only mentioned at the last
Student Government meeting that the pool room will Ik 1 closed if damage continues
to occur. It is my feeling that this action should have been taken long ago in an
attempt to curb the misuse of equipment.

As for the late closing hour, several individuals have offered the explanation that
since Mr. Saner has moved he cannot see when the room is left open late, so Mr.
Winner leaves it open. It is my feeling that the reason is a political one since it would
Ik- advantageous for a candidate for Student Government President to leave the pool
room open late and not loose favor with the pool room crowd. This also might be
the reason for the lack of action in response to damage in the pw>l room.

Sincerely,

Gary Christenseii

FURROW ETHICS ATTACKED

To whom it may concern (Editorial staff, General staff, Advisors):

Regarding the last Furrow (3/21/69):

It has come to my attention that there is a definite lack in the putative
ability of which the Furrow should be concerned! Therefore, it is only
in a vituperative sense that I write this letter.

Was it due to a lack of space in the last Furrow (Twelve pages, 12)
or a lack in quality reporting that the names of first prize takers in the
Car Rally, Peter Cecchini and William Mehl, were excluded? I would
have been very willing to replace my "Quality Footwear" ad. (Pg. 4)
with a picture of their winning auto. Of course the photograph of the
"gazebo" (Pg. 5) by the banks of Lake Archer deserved its unveiling
in the volume. Furthermore, I believe your picture on "bed making"
(Pg. 6) should be one of a series of pictures in sequence in order that
we. readers learn the proper deftness of the art. Before I forget, allow
me to express my "compliments" on your allowing the athletics photo-
graphs to consume only % of the paper instead of the usual %. Certainly
even you know every chaotic reaction seeks a final state of equilibrium.
Dr. Feldstein does have an explosively gigantic house (front pg.). Oh
yes, that Sycamore has lovely branches; they must make a fine haven for
birds.

You know, I often wondered what Bob Winner looks like!! (Pg. 2).
There's one thing I can say for the Furrow, it puts in a good day's work
... in a week. Generous Nature has provided the Furrow with a big
cushion to sit around on. I have diagnosed your case as one of lazyosis,
in an advanced stage of idleingytis, with acute symptoms of worka-
phobia, and fearemia of activity. Now that we can grow mustaches, and
as a result of publication inactivity it is probably too much of an effort
for the editor to make coffee. Its a bet he puts coffeebeans in his stash
and sips hot water.

Of more importance to me in particular, is the consideration of those
unsung heroes who made this year's most vivacious, exuberant and cer-
tainly refreshing event possible. Allow me to expound on the Furrow's
enervation in this regard. On March 8th, Delaware Valley College wit-
nessed a happening; a first; an evening embellished with living enter-
tainment. Aside from the Furrow's sardonic notation of Mr. Kolman's
presentation and in particular a concise note from Miss Gloria Fernandez,
who is not associated with Delaware Valley College or the Furrow except
for an expected matrimony with Mr. Lee Strassburger, our Furrow
Publication Staff contributed nothing, not even a tiny photograph of the
happening. And, I might add, photographs were available. The point of
the Junior Class' Variety Show's success cannot be underestimated. The
cast to this day receives compliments continuously. The laxity that the
Furrow dabbles in, as if caught in a mire of callow placidity, will never
be forgotten. I can only express a change in the lines of amelioration.

While on the subject of "publication ethics" as used by the Furrow,
I personally thought the letter, "That One For The Mixer", (Pg. 2), to
be in poor taste almost to the point of being a pathetic remiss of sagacity
or tact. The Furrow has a funny knack of purporting their authority and
majesty via a vacancy of diplomacy.

I remain concerned!!
Mr. Ralph Spanish
RASP

PUBLICATIONS ADVISOR
COMMENTS ON CHARGES

Dear Mr. Spanish,

Having translated your verbose remarks (where they are translatable,
e.g., the word "putative" makes no sense as you use it) and being closely
associated with student publications, I feel that your letter demands some
comment. To a limited extent, I fear I must agree with some of your
critique. The Furrow is not all that it could be. It does, to be sure, reflect
a continuing trend of improvement in the caliber of the College news-
paper. But, like any student publication, the strength of the Furrow must
rest on one essential ingredient: student participation. On occasion that
lack of help causes the small, hard-working nucleus of students that
produces your Furrow no little agony when their product is criticized
as showing a lack of effort.

It is not my purose to make excuses for some of the apparent weak-
nesses of the Furrow. I can only wish to note that those weaknesses can
only be overcome by greater student interest in your newspaper. It is
true that there are newsworthy and timely events occuring on campus
that do not get as much coverage as they deserve. It is true that it would
be quite desirable to have better lines of communication in several areas.
With regard to the latter point, it is gratifying to see that the Student
Government is finally availing itself of the opportunity to use the Furrow
as a vehicle through which students can learn what is being done to seek
solutions to problems they most often voice. One hears a great many
complaints about a variety of problems and most of the complaints are
directed against the Administration as if the Administration were ignor-
ing them. More often than not, the problem has been, not a lack of con-
cern on the part of the Administration so much as a failure of the repre-
sentatives of the students to communicate to the Student Body what is
being done to meet their problems.

I encourage you, Mr. Spanish, and anyone else who is concerned
enough to care about the quality of our student publications to give us
a hand. It is one thing to sit back and criticize someone else's efforts.
It is quite another to lend a hand and help alleviate the problem. We
hope to have a meeting shortly to develop a staff for next year's Furrow.
When that meeting is announced, I hope you will mark it on your cal-
endar. Join in and help us make next year's Furrow even better.

Sincerely,

Dr. John C. Mertz

S.G. SIDEBURN LIMITATIONS
CALLED TRIVIA

Dear Editor . . .

Our "progressive" Student Government has recently made a ruling
as to the length of side burns. The limit is now to the ear lobe, no further.
A majority of the representatives obviously voted to shorten the present
length. Why? These men arc supposed to be representatives of the
students, not of their personal feelings. Didn't they realize that the great
majority of students feel that any length that looks good should be per-
mitted? I don't understand this whole situation because there was no
problem before and no one looked really bad, except for a few that
should have been taken care of by the Administration.

Let's face it, not all person's faces are of the same dimensions. As a
result, one person's side burns extended to the ear lobe might in effect
be longer than another person's that are Jj" below the ear lobe. It all
depends on what fits the individual's face.

One final comment: Why worry about such trivia? Why worry about
Vi" of hair on a person's cheek or how much he can have on his face when
this time could have been put towards worrying more about the welfare
and the needs of 900 men and D.V.C. — Don Snively

may be purchased from any glee
club member.

The club has been working on
a new program that will be pre-
sented to the college on A-aay.
Some of the numbers included will
be: "Brothers, Sing On!," "Ghost
Riders In the Sky," "It's A Big
Wide Wonderful World," "Battle
Hymn of the Republic," and "The
Shadow of Your Smile."

New officers were also elected
this month. They are: Ben Harvey,
President; Richard Serwell, Vice
President; John Bert, Secretary;
Bill Hanczar, Treasurer; Joe Ker-
schner, Librarian, and Arnie Kol-
man, Furrow Representative.

The club has also decided to buy
new blazers. They're going to be
maroon in color and they will be
tailored to fit every member of the
club. It appears that the Delaware
Valley College Glee Club is going
to dress in style this year.

Animal
Husbandry Club

Visits Penn State

On March 12, the Animal Husbandry
Club held their regular meeting in Segal
Hall. After the business meeting, one
student from the junior class, another in
the sophomore class, and one in the
freshmen class each gave a report on our
trip to Penn State.

The group of twenty-two students and
Dr. Pelle left on Friday. March 7, and
stayed at Penn State for two nights.
They slept with the students of the Fenn
State Block and Bridle Club in various
dorms and fraternities. On Saturday
inomin gthey began touring the campus,
starting with the new Animal Science
building. The group then went to the
dairy barns, which house 5 different
breeds, the horse barns, and the Beef
Research Center. At Etoon. lunch was
served in the meat lab, which was toured
following lunch. During the afternoon,
they visited the Swine center, the deer
center, and the beef and sheep barn.
Hereford, Angus, Charolais and Short-
horn herds are owned by Penn State.

After the tour, the afternoon was free.
During that time the Presidents and Ad-
visors of the Block and Bridle Clubs held
a meeting where they planned another
similar event next year, but it was not
decided where it will be.

At 6:00, a spaghetti dinner was served
by the girls of the Fenn State An. Has,
Club. Saturday night was a time of
recreation. There was square dancing,
modern dancing, and games. Sunday
morning they started home. The trip
was enjoyable as well as educational.

Mr. Croushore, a new faculty memlx-r
of the Animal Husbandry Department,
was introduced to the club also during
the meeting. Mr. Croushore told the club
what he has been doing since he grad-
uated from Delaware Valley College in
1965. He now has a Masters degree
from the University of West Virginia.
The members of the club wish him many
good years at the College.

The next meetings will be March 27
and April 9.

Edwin Colly

Addresses Dairy

Society

Mr. Edwin Crotty, area representative
of the American Jersey Cattle Club, was
guest speaker at the March 10th meeting
of the Dairy Society. Mr. Crotty made it
clear that he was not here to sell Jersey
cattle and that any breed can provide a
dairyman with a respectable living. Mr.
Crotty's address was concerned with
milk marketing and the role of the mod-
ern dairyman. He pointed out many
faults in the "sinister and socialistic"
Federal Milk Marketing Order System
and said that the dairyman has to get
more involved with the fundamentals
of marketing his product if he intends
to overcome these short-comings. He also
stated that every producer has the obli-
gation to advertise his product, to pro-
duce a high quality product that consum-
ers want, and should he in the position
to assert leadership.

During the business portion of the
meeting, Fresident Don Koontz an-
nounced tht A-Day dairy classes. Twek e
classes will be judged on the basis of
fitting and showmanship. After a brief
discussion it was decided that freshmen
could use either rope or leather show-
halters as was the case last year. College
show equipment is availahfe to anyone
who does not have his own gear. Each
class will be responsible for an A-Day
exhibit in the dairy tent. A motion was
passed that individual dairy proj ec t !
took! also 1m- displayed.

A two day club trip to the famous
Romandale Farm in Ontario, Canada, is
iM'ing considered. Homandale Farm
breeds Reg is t ere d Hobtein* and has pro-
duced many All-Americans and well-
known bulls.

Hort

Apple-Experiment

Planned

An experimental apple planting
is being planned and will he plant-
ed prior to A-day, 1969. The plant-
ing was already initiated and it
will he planted by the Horticul-
tural Society under the supervision
of the College and the Horticulture

Department

The planting consists of two
trees each of 50 different varieties
& spores of eleven dwarfing, semi-
dwarfing rootstock and interstoek
combinations. Approximately 60*/
of the trees have been donated by
various fruit-tree nurseries and al-
lied personnel in the fruit industry.
The remaining 40? have been pur-
chased by the College.

The objectives in establishing
this planting are: to acquaint the
students with the newest and latest
apple varieties; to provide a col-
lection to be used for fruit judging
and identification; to study and ob-
serve growth patterns and bearing
habits of dwarfing, semi-dwarfing
and spur-type trees; to learn and
demonstrate various pruning and
training methods as applied to
specialized and modified systems;
and finally, to generally observe the
responses of trees of this nature to
general orchard cultural practices.

A 25' by 25' planting of this na-
ture is an excellent compliment to
our larger, present plantings of
rootstocks. The small sizes of the
trees and of the planting will fa-
cilitate providing the trees with
the best of care on the parts by the
society and the department. It is
hoped that in the near future more
varieties and rootstock combina-
tions may be planted as well as
supplementary plantings of other
pome fruits, such as quinces and
pears.

THE DEEP
FRONTIER

And The Future
Of Aquaculture

At our last bi-monthly meeting
motions were made and passed by
active club members on the ac-
ceptance of our new Constitution
and also of a point system. With
the addition of both of these, the
club now has a format for both
facets for its purpose. The new
Constitution will enable us to par-
ticipate in matters concerning our
Major and the point system will
enable those active members to
participate in the social aspects of
the club.

Also at our last meeting we had
the pleasure of having two repre-
sentatives of the Kelco Algin Co.
in attendance. Mr. Frederick Mey-
er of Technical Sales and Mr. Al-
bert Risch, Assistant District Su-
pervisor, lectured on the processing
of and the products from the Giant
Kelp. This plant is located mainly
along our Pacific Coast on what is
termed the "Continental Shelf." It
thrives in from 25 to HO feet of

water,

To start his program Mr. Meyer
showed a film called "The Deep
Frontier." This demonstrated for us
the way his company acquires the
Giant Kelp through a process
called Aquaculture. It also showed
how they now can grow Kelp on
ropes inches above the ocean floor.

From this plant a product called
Algin is obtained. Because the Kelp
is mostly water it takes a ton of
Kelp to produce 40 pounds of Al-
gin. The importance of Algin in
American industry is tremendous.
He said that because Algin is hy-
drophilic (a water-loving colloid)
its moisture retention tendency has
made it invaluable for such pur-
poses as stabilization, producing
stable emulsions, and increasing
the body structure to our foods.

Mr. Meyer also showed us an
example of a new product for
which his company is now apply-
ing for U.S.D.A. approval to sell to
the Food Industry. This new prod-
uct is called "Xanthan Gum." With
this as an ingredient the shelf t life
of such a product as salad dressing
would be doubled. It is not af-
fected by temperature change and
it is stable and soluable in acid so-
lutions and also stable in alkaline
solutions. It is excellent for many
types of food preservation. Its ex-
cellent "freeze-thaw" ability may
prove to be invaluable to the frozen
food industry. The lecture was at-
tended not only by F. I. members
but also by other interested stu-
dents as well as a good number of
the faculty. Afterwards refresh-
ments were served and Mr. Meyer
and Mr. Risch made themselves
available for further questions.

SEMESTER S.G. COMMITTEE REPORTS...

- - - BLAZER COMMITTEE

PURPOSE:

To aid the incoming Freshman in choosing a class blazer and a com-
pany to deal with and methods of choosing a seal. A list of Progress
made.

1. The Freshmen have a different company than the classes of the
past because.

a. they can receive a better quality garmet;

b. they don't have to pay postage;

c. 100% free alteration which was not available before;

d. receive their blazers earlier;

e. pay less for their blazers.

2. The blazer material will be an all weather material, which wears
well.

- - - CAMPUS COMMITTEE

PURPOSE:

To improve the external appearance of our campus, and to provide
a neat and attractive landscape to u degree which would be feasible.
Mainly lighting, pavement and shnibs were discussed. Dr. Fieldstein
and Mrs. Work were most cooperative in helping us with our ideas. I
will list some of our projects:

1. Add lights to college signs to aid visitors in locating our campus.

2. Have shrubs planted in areas which require additional shrubs, so
our campus would look more pleasing.

3. Add additional walks to our campus.

4. Pave road by alumni lane.

5. Flood Lake Archer in the winter to provide a smooth finish for
the ice skaters.

6. Take out all non-living trees and shrubs.

7. Fill in all holes in paved roads by entrance closest to Doylestown.

8. Repair lights burnt out by Administration.

9. Remove a few parking spaces on campus lot to prevent accidents
by front entrance near Dormitory II.

- - - CUSTOMS COMMITTEE

PURPOSE:

To orient the Freshman, and to aid them in coordinating themselves
as a class of Delaware Valley College. Help the class of 72 become aware
of the college functions, buildings procedures, and general area.

Customs were successful in their drive to obtain the above goals,
thanks to the Sophomore class of D.V.C.

- - - FOOD COMMITTEE

PURPOSE:

To strive to provide a more desirable dining area and to provide food
for the students, which they deserve. We encountered many problems
through the year; we discussed many of these problems too many times.
Now we have a new managing service at our college as a result of the
lack of cooperation on the manager's part. Here is a list of some of the
things we worked for this year.

1. Larger salad bowls.

2. Have a manager present at all times.

3. Serve seconds on sliced meat for 20 minutes.

4. Keeping food on serving line warm.

5. Ho* chocolate dispenser.

6. Decrease % grease in food.

7. Clean dining hall floor in dining hall.

8. Having table spoons available on tables for family style meals.

9. Serve ketchup when ground beef is served.

10. Stale rolls, bread and other food.

11. Better method of serving orange juice.

12. Cleanliness of food preparation.

13. A change of all dirty table cloths between meals.

14. Have salad made just before serving it.

15. There are plans under way for a permanent wall in front of wash
room. Soon the dining area will look like a dining hall.

16. Discussed methods of keeping cake and pies fresh.

17. Set up a desirable plan for dates to eat on campus for Big Week-
ends, Homecoming, etc.

18. The food quality was discussed at almost every meeting.

We hope our new Managers will adapt to the cafeteria and dining
hall and provide the men of our campus with a very desirable dining
service. Respectfully submitted,

Fred Harteis

The grooming committee was formed in December for the purpose
of reviewing the present grooming regulations and to liberalize them.

The committee met and proposed a resolution that all students be
required to meet acceptable standards, as established by the College
and the Student Government, concerning personal cleanliness and
proper grooming. Students shall be clean-shaven and shall keep their
hair cut to a conservative length. Mustaches and sideburns are per-

INTRAMURAL COMMITTEE

Intramurals have gone rather smoothly for the entire year. Cham-
pionships have been won by Science (football), Business (volleyball),
and Horticulture (basketball). Wrestling is now getting underway and
softball will be starting sometime in March. Bowling also seemed to be
a success. Intramurals, then, have been pretty good to date.

The purpose of the Interclub Council will be to coordinate the
activities and act in the best interest of every member club. This is
exactly the type of work that was transacted at this year's Interclub
Council meetings. We discussed such items as cleaning up at mixers,
operation of Homecoming affairs, and disputes between clubs. We bad
announcements made by the clubs. Furrow, and the Student Govern-
ment.

Officers for Interclub Council were George Myers. Secretary, and
Ted Fergus, Treasurer.

Respectfully submitted,

Chairman of Interchih Council

OPEN DOOR COMMITTEE - - -

We have had no formal meeting with Mrs. Work, but we hope to
have one in the near future. I have met with two of the classes to get
their ideas in addition to those we have already. Next week. I plan to
have a meeting with Mr. Fulcoly and Mr. Sauer to get their opinions of
our ideas before we go to Mrs. Work.

Sincerely,

■ - - SECURITY COMMITTEE

Two meetings have been held with Mrs. Work, Captain Hollbrook,
and Mr. Ross. We have discussed many of the problems that have
troubled the Student Government in the past. Among these have been
the inconsistency in ticketing, the stop signs in the parking lot, abuse of
the students by the guards, and the possibility of a visitors' parking lot.
There are more meetings planned for the future.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE

SUBJECT: MIXERS 1968-1969

1. We have had 8 mixers so far this year; we have 5 more planned in
addition to the Contemporary Club Mixer.

2. By charging students $1.00 for admission vvc have been able to get
better bands and with this attendance at Mixers has increased stead-
ily. We are getting close to 500 people at our Mixers now.

3. We have been getting a good response from some of the local schools.
The Mixer held February 21 drew a busload of girls from Trenton
State. This is a big step in improving relations with that school and
in helping to improve ours and their social lives mutually.

4. By dealing with agencies we have been able to get fairly good if not
great quality bands for each Mixer; not too much trouble has oc-
curred with bands cancelling out because they do not want to lose
their booking agent and they've showed up well ahead of their start-
ing times.

5. Students have behaved in an orderly manner at the last two Mixers.
Outside agitators were causing a little trouble at some of the previous
Mixers.

6. Overall, the yeai has been good and social life has increased greatly
over that available during previous years,

VENDING COMMITTEE

Although the committee encountered a few difficulties, it can report
the completion of another very successful semester. ARA Vending
Service and Rosenbergers Dairies have maintained the high quality of
their products, a better selection, and outstanding service for the students.

ARA, of the Lehigh Valley region, services our campus with cigar-
ettes, candy, pastry and cofFee. Rosenbergers Dairies, of Hatfield, ser-
vices our campus with milk and ice cream.

The only major change during the semester came in October when
the Student Government decided to switch to the services of Pepsi-Cola.
The reason for the change was simple: Coca-Cola lowered their com-
mission far below that of Pepsi Cola. This change has also offered an
extra benefit to the College. Pepsi will sponsor advertisements on radio
WFIL for any major College activity. They have advertised for the
Homecoming concert. Plans arc in the progress to provide advertising
for Spring Weekend and "A" Day.

The committee can report the addition of two new machines on
campus — the dollar changer and the Fooseball-Match Game.

After a year of wheeling and dealing, ARA agreed to place a dollar
changer on campus under the following conditions:

1. Student Government will forfeit its commission received from
pastry sold.

2. Student Government agrees to be responsible for any damage to
the changer or theft of changer, including replacement of any
missing money.

Difficulties have been encountered with the dollar changer, 1 ttc it is
planned to have them ironed out.

The Fooseball-Match Game was placed on campus by Karl Werner.
It was agreed that this recreational game would cost $.20 a game and
Student Government would receive 50tf of the income.

The committee's main interest is to provide better and greater vend-
ing services for the students.

PRISMATIC

VIEWS

— Bob Edwards

My great uncle used to be a magician, but I doubt if he could pull
some of the magic that I witnessed in one night at the cafeteria. First
of all, as if by some miracle, all the waiters' white jackets seemed to
vanish from sight. Wait a minute! Oh, I guess they didn't have them on
in the first place. But I'm sure what I saw next was no hallucination.
One waiter passed me with a cigarette in his mouth as I glanced at the
No Smoking sign on the wall. As the meal progressed, things seemed to
get worse. One waiter decided to join my table as we were having
dessert. Well, maybe I shouldn't complain, after all, he did give me a
second dessert. Just about this time I thought I felt a roll hit me in the
back of the head, and as I turned around I saw another whiz by and
hit someone at the next table. As the waiter and I played beat the clock
to see who would finish first, I with my dessert and he with his table
clean-up, I noticed he had spilled some ketchup on his already dirty blue

{eans. Notice I said jeans and not "dress pants" like the rest of the student
>ody is required to wear if they don't want to receive a fine. Need I say
more? I didn't say anything about food quality or general cleanliness,
but I think you get the hint. If YOU would only speak up as I have just
done maybe things will get done, but if everyone remains apathetic
toward this environment, I can guarantee that no improvements will take
place.

OORS
Make The
Wrong Move

On March 1, 1969, The Doors* Jim
Morrison, during a performance before
some 12,000 persons in Miami Beach's
Dinner Key Auditorium, made the wrong
move. He is now in exile in the Bahama
Islands due to the fact that he is facing
$2,000.00 in fines and more than three
years in prison. It seems that during the
above-mentioned performance he was
charged with statutory rape, assault, in-
decent exposure, and drunkeness. Also,
because of this performance, the group
lost their previous concert engagements
with the Civic Center and The Spectrum.
"Objection by Municipal Authorities"
was the reason for the double cancella-
tion by Music Fair Enterprises, Inc.,
which had booked the concerts. A Music
Fair Spokesman also said these cancella-
tions would mean a loss of more than
$20,000.00 in advertising and promo-
tional costs, ticket-printing expenses, the
cost of giving refunds, and other items.

BASEBALL
PREVIEW

Aggie
Diamond-Men
In Full Swing

by Gene Wallace

While the Yanks and the Phils
have been getting ready for the
oncoming season, so have the Ag-
gies.

The catchers and pitchers were
the initial ones to start. Coach Sav-
age put the boys through some
arduous drills, which will prove to
be helpful as the season draws
near.

Officially the team began prac-
ticing on March 6th. Led by their
spirited Captain, Warren Hitz, the
team showed a lot of determination
and desire in trying to make this
season an undefeated one.

Coach Silan has a strong nucleus
returning. The head mentor has
only a few losses, mainly through
graduation. However, one key ab-
sence will be the "first sacker" po-
sition, for John Nice has signed a
Pro Football contract with the
Pittsburgh Steelers. Last year John
was the leading offensive power on
the Aggie diamond squad.

The previous year's pitching, led
by Ron "the Ace" Timko and Bob
"No Hit" McEntee, was strong and
consistent. This year's staff will be
strengthened by some topnotch
Kurlers, including Jim Douglass,
Bill Roth, Chris Bockrath, Ken
Rat hey, and freshman Charlie
Smith.

Hitting was a big problem for
the Aggies last season. To say the
least, nits couldn't be found when
most needed. If the Aggies want
to be a top M.A.C. power, many
more clutch hits will be required
Everyone is hoping that former
All-Americans Warren Hitz and
Bill Roth return to old form. Other
lusty hitters who should come
around are Pat Day and Gene Wal-
lace. Rookies to watch this season
are Don Shinn, Bob Basenberg,
and Tom Dobrowski.

This season should prove to be
interesting, but teamwork can
make it victorious.

1969 CLASS ELECTION CANDIDATES

CLASS OF 1970

OFFICE OF PRESIDENT

RICHARD A. PALMASANO

An open letter to the Class of 70
Fellow Classmates:

This week will mark the ter-
mination of Gery Fisher's position
as President of our elass. During
the past year, I have served as his,
and your, Vice President. I have
actively supported the ideas and
the opinions of our class and have
gained valuable experience in shar-
ing the activities and enthusiasm
of our class.

Last year in my pre-election
speech I expressed several ideas
that I thought would encourage
participation and pride in our class
functions. My major objective was
the materialization of a Junior
Prom for our class, since I felt that
the members of the class were en-
titled to benefit from class funds
in addition to the Senior Prom.
Next week we shall see the fruits
of these labors.

I was a generating force in the
realization of the College's first
class-sponsored variety show. Al-
though I can not claim credit for
the idea, I did serve, along with
Wayne Mehalic, as co-chairman
to put this idea into operation.

Next year, our senior year, is our
most important year at Delaware
Valley College. Among other
things, we shall have a Senior Prom
and a yearbook. In striving for suc-
cess in these functions, I am serv-
ing on the Yearbook Committee as
the Business Editor, and I plan to
serve with those who made our
Junior Prom a reality to ensure that
we have a memorable event for all
at our Senior Prom.

I would like to propose that our
class take a Senior Class Trip. The
trip could be taken between Spring
Recess and "A" Day of our senior
year. As an addition to our prom
and yearbook, a trip, in my opin-
ion, would stimulate greater par-
ticipation and pride in our class.

As a final statement, I would like
to thank the Furrow editor and
staff for giving me this opportunity
to explain my ideas to the class. I
hope that on Friday the members
of the Class of 70 choose to en-
trust the office of president in me,
so that I can be instrumental in
keeping our class the best Del Val
has ever known.

OFFICE OF VICE PRESIDENT

Fellow Members of the Class of
1970:

For three years, our Class has
received noteworthy recognition
for its many accomplishments in
all fields. Our Senior year will ex-
hibit far greater successful feats.

Class endeavors are spearheaded
by class officers. The time has come
to elect these officers for what will
be our most important and event-
ful year. I am vying for one of
these positions: the office of Vice
President. Certain qualifications
are required of an individual who
holds such an office. They include
the ability and the knowledge
needed to form a cohesive unit
with fellow officers that will ac-
complish for the class new and un-
precedented heights. One must also
be dedicated and devoted to class
ideals and what they stand for.
And an officer must possess the
ability to understand, analyze and
alleviate class problems.

I earnestly and unostentatiously
believe that I possess the qualities
that are needed by an individual in
this office because of my past ex-
perience as a class officer in high
school, and because I have been
an active member of our Class,
participating in several successful
committees and College functions.

If I am fortunate enough to be
given the honor of being elected
to this post, I will strive along with
the other officers to attain our Class
goals.

Sincerely,

Leonard Di Ciantomasso

WAYNE QUINN

My name: Wayne Quinn
Office sought: Vice President of
the Great Class of 70.

My Platform: I am running for
Vice President of the senior class
so as to afford vou, the students, a

change, since a change is what is
desired. I would base mv office on
four basic ideas:

1. Modernize Del Val because it
is needed.

2. Tell it like it is — with no holds
barred.

3. Cut red tape — I want action.

4. Have the Administration and
Doylestown realize that there
never was nor will there ever
be a class like The Class of 70.

I assure you that my living off
campus will not in any way hinder
rite from meeting the responsibili-
ties which you give me. In fact it
will only help since I will have
impartial, unadulterated views. I
look forward to serving you.

LEE STRASSBURGER

Mv Fellow Classmates of
The Class of 70:

I, Lee Strassburger, am running
for the office of Vice President for
the coming year. In this position
I plan to make your senior year
the best year we have ever had at
Delaware Valley College. I feel
this can be done by getting more
student participation in the class
activities such as the proms, variety
shows, class meetings, etc. The
main problem with student par-
ticipation is that the students really
don't give our school a chance. In
order to appreciate something you
have to learn to live with the good
arid the bad. Delaware Valley Col-
lege has a lot to offer, and your
senior year will only give to you
what you put into it. I have found
this past year that by being more
active in class activities, clubs, and
sports, etc. one learns to appreciate
what this school can do for you. I
feel that the class of 70, with the
right people as its leaders, can be
the greatest class to graduate from
Delaware Valley College. So when
the time comes to vote, remember
the name: LEE STRASSBURGER.

OFFICES OF SECRETARY
and TREASURER

It's that time of the year when
the Class of 1970 gets an opportu-
nity to elect the officers who will
lead our class through our final and
most important year. I, Gary J.
Filko, have served as your Class
Treasurer for the past three years
and now, again, I'm asking for your
fullest support as a candidate for
that office during our senior year.

The job of Class Treasurer is
basically a monetary post, but by

being a class officer the position
should be held by an individual
who will promote class activities
and assist the President by what-
ever means possible. I have served
on various class committees in my
Freshman and Sophomore years
and I am presently on the 1970
Cornucopia staff and the Junior
Prom Committee. If elected, I in-
tend to serve our class to my best
ability and to help strive towards
a prosperous and successful senior

vear.

GARY J. FILKO

LARRY GERBER

As class elections draw near, it
has become necessary to once again
choose men to lead our class. For
our final year, we need the type of
leadership from our officers to
carry the class to a successful fin-
ish. Taking this into consideration,
each officer and the office he holds
should be thought over thoroughly.

I'm Larry Gerber and I'm a can-
didate for the office of Secretary.
I have served in that office for the
past two years. As a class officer,
I have served on various commit-
tees and I have worked with the
other class officers in trying to
work out any problems or ideas
that have arisen. At the present, I
am working on the yearbook com-
mittee as co-editor with another
member of our class.

I feel that this office is important,
because many times a secretary's
minutes can be the backbone of a
meeting. For instance, if an argu-
ment or some issue on a motion
comes up, referring to a good set
of minutes can usually settle the
matter.

The best qualification I can of-
fer, is that I pledge to try to serve
the members of the class to the
best of my ability. If elected, I will
carry out this promise.

OFFICE OF S. G.
REPRESENTATIVE

SOL CAVINESS

Social lift 1 plays a major role in
colleges throughout the country.
Through a good social life on a
campus, problems such as sit-ins,
protests, and take-overs may he
avoided. Because the students have
something to do, it improves the
college overall. Since 1 I've been at
DVC, there has been a gradual
improvement in social activities.
This pace can be speeded up
slightly this coming school year if
the Entertainment Committee of
Student Government works hard
in this direction.

My main objective in Student
Government will be in bringing
neighboring girls' colleges in close
relationship with DVC socially. By
working with the Entertainment
Chairman of S. G. this year, I have
made the acquaintances of the di-
rectors of student activities of sev-
eral girls' colleges and they are
quite optimistic about such a re-
lationship. With hard work on the
part of the Entertainment Commit-
tee of S. G., coupled with enthu-
siasm* among the students, this re-
lationship can start in the coming
school year. Being on this commit-
tee will be my one contribution to
all my fellow classmates and to the
school.

Sincerely,
Sol Caviness

GERY FISHER
Fellow Classmates and
Underclassmen :

The time has arrived when I
must make a difficult decision. It is
a personal decision that I have
thought through thorough. I have
decided to withdraw from the cam-
paign for the presidency of the
Junior Class. Instead I shall be
seeking the office of Student Gov-
ernment Representative. If I am
successful in the class elections, it
is mv intention to seek the Presi-
dency of the Student Government.

I do not run to seek prestige. I
run because I believe that a num-
ber of the college policies, regula-
tions, and procedures must be re-
vised or amended and some even
should be disposed of if our college
life is to progress and coincide with

the growth of our college and other
colleges.

It is quite evident that the only
way we can bring about changes
is through an active and truly rep-
resentative Student Government. I
run because I feel that there is a
need for an energetic and power-
ful President to introduce and mold
progressive legislation. Any organ-
ization is only as powerful as its
leader. It is my desire to make next
v ear' s Student Government the
most active and most powerful
student legislative body yet. I be-
lieve I have the qualifications to
energetically lead Student Govern-
ment. For the past three years I
have been President of a most ac-
tive and liberal class. I have been
a member of our Student Govern-
ment for three years and in Stu-
dent Government work for nine
years. This past year I served as
its Vice-President and as its chair-
man of the Interclub Council. Be-
cause of my personal experience
working and communicating with
these various organizations, I have
gained a knowledge of the prob-
lems that the Student Government,
the classes and clubs encounter.

I feel anyone who seeks an office
of this nature should inform the
electors of what he stands for. I
have drawn up a "Progressive Pol-
icy" which I support and will work
hard to accomplish.

The "Progressive Policv" consists
of:

1. More mixers — sponsored by
the classes, clubs and Student
Government.

2. Schedule meetings of class Pres-
idents for the purpose of aiding
one another.

3. Open Door Policy — a. Doors
closed and unlocked, b. Doors
partially open only when a girl
is in a room.

4. Dress Code — no regulations,
except if we still have family
style meals — then only collared
shirts and jackets required.
Blue-jeans permitted at all
times.

5. Dining Room — Breakfast hours
7-9 A.M.; Better food quality;
Cafeteria-style dinner meal.

6. Grooming — further liberalize
the new regulations.

7. Citizenship grade — Lower the
standards for both the require-
ments and grading.

S. Enlarge the Student Govern-
ment by one additional repre-
sentative per class.

9. Committees should be given a
precise deadline for reporting
their resolution(s) to Student
Government.

10. Better communication between
the Student Government and
the Student Body. a. President
responsible for a column in the
Furrow; b. More precise and
detailed minutes, including all
motions made and all legislative
transactions.

11. Investigation of the prices
charged for dormitory damages.

12. A stern effort for better security
enforcement in the area of the
parking lot.

13. Parking Lot — The right of a
violator to try to prove his in-
nocense either in the Student

Court or before a commission
composed of Student Govern-
ment Representatives.
11. A "Winter Weekend".

These are some of the programs
in the "Progressive Policy". At a
later date I will reveal the re-
mainder of my proposed changes.
And so, my fellow Juniors, I ask
for your support at the class elec-
tions on April 11. Then we shall
continue from there.

Thank you
Gery Fisher

RON C.INGE HIGH
Classmates (70):

With the approach of our final
year it has become quite evident
that the entire Class of 70 is inter-
ested in having a very active Stu-
dent Government. I am in favor of
this and feel that it can be accom-
plished. Most of you here at Dela-
ware Valley College know me but
for those of you who don't, my
name is Ron Gingerich. I am a
Chemistry major. I have served on
various class committees and I am
presently editor of the Senior Sec-
tion of our Yearbook.

With respect to policy, I have
many ideas to bring before Student
Government, but most of all I want
to represent you, the Class of 1970.
To anyone who has complaints or
new ideas, my door will always be
open and I will guarantee that your
subject will be brought before Stu-
dent Government. One of my
ideas, one that was brought up at
the last Student Government meet-
ing by a fellow student, is the elim-
ination of citizenship grades. Our
institution is growing and I feel
that it is no longer possible for
everyone who issues such grades
to thoroughly evaluate an individ-
ual student. It is, therefore, in my
opinion, an unfair system and it
should be abolished or otherwise
adjusted so it is not such a signi-
ficant factor in determining candi-
dacy for the Dean's List. To some
this may seem trite, but I feel it is
important and another step to-
wards updating our College.

I am deeply interested in our
Student Body and it's functions
and therefore, if elected, I shall,
with the best of my abilities, fulfill
the office of Student Government
Representative for you, the Class
of 1970.

DONALD A. KOONTZ

Members of the class of 1970, I
take this opportunity provided by
the FURROW to further explain
my position as a candidate in the
forthcoming class elections.

The office of Student Govern-
ment Representative, for which I
am a candidate, is of utmost im-
portance to our class and to the
entire Student Body. My prime re-
sponsibility as a representative is
to voice and to actively seek to
carry out the feelings and desires
of the members of the Clas of 1970.

As I see a Student Government
Representative's job, he has many
responsibilities; they can be classi-
fied as basic or additional. Basic
responsibilities include attendance
to meetings and active participa-
tion in discussions and committc s.
Additional responsibilities assumed
by the individual are the real
measure of a good repersentative.
Such responsibilities entail a con-
tinuous examination, by tb< in-
dividual, of the existing situ .tions
and policies. Recognizing prob-
lems alone is insufficient, for one
must be able to convincingly pre-
sent the problem and a proposed
solution to fellow students and to
those in authority. Also, I might
add, a certain amount of guts and
conviction can determine success
in this area.

Experience as a Student Govern-
ment Representative is a valuable
asset to the candidate. Two years
of Student Government experience
followed by one year of observa-
tion from the outside leads one not
only to be more appreciative of
some of the anti-Student Govern-
ment sentiments, but equips one
to deal more effectively with such
problems. At least several areas of
interest should be afforded more
attention in future Student Gov-
ernment business. They are: the
establishment of a "plus system"
of grading to give the student de-
served credit for attaining a higher
degree of a letter grade; the estab-
lish n lent of a reasonable open door

policy, one that will provide a priv-

privacy of everyone; the establish-

ens' colleges in the area to make

and, the establishment of a strong-

WAYNE MEHALICH

MARK A. UEBERSAX

Members of the Class of 1970,
I am very proud to have the oppor-
tunity to submit my name as a can-
didate for the office of Student
Government Representative. I feel
this office is more important than
most realize, for it is through the
senior representatives that the
mode of the Student Government
is derived. A senior representative
must have a leadership ability that
will unify and direct the entire Stu-
dent Government toward a more
productive year. He has to be a
person who is willing to work hard
for not only the members of his
class but also for the overall im-
provement of the College. He must
actively support the opinions
voiced by its members of his class
and take appropriate action
through the Student Government
to present these opinions to the
Administration. It is in this manner
that our Student Government will
best serve the interests of the Stu-
dent Body.

I feel my experience and action
as your Junior ('lass Representa-
tive has qualified me for actively
seeking re-election to this office. I
will not promise you action on any
specific issues at this time. How-
ever, I will promise that, if re-
elected, I will continue to express

and actively support your opinions
and ideas to the best of my ability.
As a concerned representative, it
is my hope that in this upcoming
election each student will evaluate
all of the candidates and vote re-
sponsibly to insure an active Stu-
dent Government.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Uebersax

RORERT A. WINNER

To the Members of the
Class of 1970:

I would like to announce that I
am a candidate for the office of
Student Government Representa-
tive for the Class of 1970. Next
year will be the biggest and most
important year of our college ca-
reer in that our Senior class will
have more influence than any other
class in the Government. To fulfill
this objective it is necessary to have
experienced and enthusiastic rep-
resentatives who are well-acquaint-
ed with the activities of the Stu-
dent Government and are willing
to accept the responsibilities of
this position.

I am sure that if you are a stu-
dent who is interested and active
in the affairs of our Class and this
College you will already be well
aware of my qualifications. There-
fore, I do not feel it is necessary
at this time to list all the activities
I have participated in and the ideas
that I have accumulated during
the past three years as a Student
Government Representative.

Again, as in previous years, I
am asking for your support in the
up-coming election. In return, I
promise my support and repre-
sentation of vour ideas and view-
points in order to satisfy your
wants and desires and at the same
time upgrade the Government and
College. I would also like to urge
every member of the Class of 70
to attend the rally on April 9th so
that you may gain a better under-
standing of the views and qualifi-
cations of the candidates as they
present them.

Sincerely,
Robert A. Winner

CLASS OF 1971
OFFICE OF PRESIDENT

FREDRICK HARTEIS

SEEKING RE-ELECTION

I, Fredrick Harteis, Sophomore
Class President, am running for
re-election for the office of Presi-
dent of the Class of 71, for 1969-
70 academic year at Delaware Val-
ley College.

I must say that I have enjoyed
very much working for my class
and with my class on all of our
projects and in Student Govern-
ment activities. I feel very honored
in holding this office and working
with the fellows of our class. We
have had many interesting discus-
sions on plans for such activities as
the A-Day Dance, Spring Concert,
Rings, Blazers and problems which
were related to Student Govern-
ment. I was very pleased at the in-
terest among the men of our class
in committee meetings and class
meetings. No two people think
alike, therefore you can expect to
get conflicting ideas on many prob-
lems throughout the year. You can
never please everyone, and no one
can when it comes to work, espe-
cially when you .have to deal with
200 ideas. Because of the cooper-
ation among our fellow classmates
we were successful in all of our ac-
tivities thus far.

I'm also very pleased to know
that we are the first class to make
out well in both the A-Day Dance
and Spring Concert. We are the
first class to receive our rings for
the summer of our Junior year also.

In Student Government I have
worked for our class and the entire
student body by pushing an
amendment to our Grooming Code
and dress regulations. As chairman
of the dining hall I have the oppor-
tunity to help the fellows at our
college receive the meals they de-
serve and better conditions in the
dining hall. Now I'm more experi-
enced in the workings of Student
Government and the procedures of
our Administration. I can see what
can be done for our school and I
can act more quickly and in a
proper manner more easily. There
are many things to be done for the
fellows attending Delaware Valley
College now and for the future
Aggies. Some of my ideas to better
our campus are:

1. A visitors' parking lot.

2. Closed door policy.

3. Student Union room.

4. Campus laundromat.

5. Campus car wash.

6. Narrow communication gap be-
tween students and administra-
tion.

7. Better social life.

8. Vinyl cover for gym floor.

These are just a few of the ideas
I will work for my next two years
at D.V.C. I'm not going to say we
will see all of them next week be-
cause that is impossible. But I will
say that I'm going to do my best
to carry out these ideas and all
other ideas presented to me by
other students of our college, espe-
cially those of my class.

OFFICE OF PRESIDENT

RRUCE M. GIESE

Being a candidate for Class Pres-
ident for 1969-70, I bring as my
qualifications: I was a Student Rep-
resentative during this year and I
showed the ability to unify the
class and class officers, both the
class and Student Government hav-
ing been divided this year.

I will make the responsibility of
Class President one to the class
first and to the Student Govern-
ment second. I will call on our class
to build a stronger class and have
the student representatives lead
our representation in Student Gov-
ernment.

Elected as Class President, I
would not use it as a stepping
stone, but instead I would get the
class active and give the credit to
the class for any progress made as
a class. The class will plan ahead
to make the most of the class and
to avoid problems before they oc-
cur. Class committees wflj be made
up of a broad section of the class.
Things will not hi' lost in commit-
tee nor influenced by only one
group.

I will initiate a new way of in-
forming all class members of meet-
ings. All class officers will be kept
informed by regular meetings of
officers.

I ask those who do not plan on
voting for me now to attend the
speeches and those who are going
to vote for me to come out in sup-
port of me and to talk to others.

Thank you.

I have decided to run for the

School as Vice President and by
serving the Future Fanners of
America as President, Vice Presi-
dent, and North Regional Vice
President of the State Association,

I feel that a President should:
t. Preside over and conduct meet-
ings according to accepted par-
limentary procedure.

2. Keep members on the subject
and within time limits.

3. Coordinate class efforts by
keeping in close touch with the
other officers and members.

4. Appoint committees and serve
as ex-officio member of them.

5. Keep class activities moving in
a satisfactory manner.

6. Follow up class activities and
check on progress being made.

7. Call for special meetings if it is
found necessary, and, if it is
found necessary, give ample no-
tice to the students.

As a class I feel that we should
take part in more activities and
money-making projects than we
have in the past. If the class desires
we could, for example, sponser the
following projects: Junior Class
Prom, Mixer, Movies, Raffle, and
a Variety Show. We should get
started on our yearbook so that it
can develop into something we can
be proud of. Perhaps it would be
a good idea to move our classes'
money into 5 per cent interest
bonds. This higher interest rate
would enable us to make more
money on the money we already
have. Class by-laws and a Program
of Work should be developed so
that we know what we are trying
to accomplish.

I would like the opportunity to
serve our class as President so that
we can move ahead and develop
into a superior class. I ask for your
help as members of the Class of 71
so that this can be made possible.
Respectfully yours,
Skip Klimas

OFFICE OF VICE PRESIDENT

GREG EHRENZELLER

My name is Greg Ehrenzeller,
and I am running for the office of
Vice-President of the class of 71.

Now, to many, the office of Vice-
President may seem unimportant.
But that's not so. It is a very im-
portant office. The office of Vice-
President is exceeded in impor-
tance by only the office of Presi-
dent.

The main responsibility of a
Vice-President is to assist his Pres-
ident. This responsibility is carried
out in different ways. One way is
to preside over class meetings in
the absence of the President. An-
other way is to be the head of
various committees set up by the
President. These committee chair-
manships require a man of sincer-
ity, integrity, leadership, honestv,
dependability, willingness to work,
and some experience. I, being a
class officer for the past two years

here at Delaware Valley after be-
ing a class officer in high school,
think I qualify for the office of
Vice-President very well.

I urge communication among
my classmates. We must work to-
gether if we ever hope to accom-
plish anything. And to work to-
gether, we must communicate.

If elected I will, to the best of
my ability, represent my class in
its endeavor to make itself the
greatest class in the history of Del-
aware Valley College.

Sincerely Yours
Greg Ehrenzeller

CHRIS HOLLANDS

Dear Member of the Class of 71,
The office of Vice-President has
a popular connotation of being a
do-nothing office. This is not so.
The Vice-President performs many
behind-the-scene activities that re-
quire a lot of organization and co-
operation and that help make class
projects a reality. This is the main
function of a Vice-President: to
work closely and cooperate with
class members, mainly the Presi-
dent, in the organization of activi-
ties to insure their success.

I am running for re-election to
the office of Vice-President of the
Class of 71. I am greatl/ interested
in helping to make our class a great
class, one to be proud of, and one
that functions well. I ask your help
in giving me this opportunity to
serve you. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Chris Hollands

Bruce Burdick: Student
Government Representative

I would like to take this oppor-
tunity afforded to me by THE
FURROW to announce my candi-
dacy for the office as Student Gov-
ernment Representative of the
Class of 1971.

I seek this office in hopes of
achieving certain goals which may
aid both my class and the College.
The primary areas which I believe
can use some modification are the
following:

( 1 ) The present system of citizen-
ship grading;

(2) Existing policies with regards
to the cafeteria and the food
being served there (e.g., break-
fast hours and the portions that
are offered);

(3) The possibility of having the
dining hall open in the eve-
nings, enabling students to
have a place to get a bite to
eat instead of being confined
to using vending machines;
and finally,

(4) A projection of a better and
more widespread image of our
class and, most important,
D.V.C.

The above issues, plus a personal
incentive to get involved with gov-
ernment, are the reasons why I
have chosen to seek an opportunity
to represent you. This is not a sud-
den decision by me; I have been
interested in College functions
throughout my year and-a-half
here, and have supported various
activities and participated in them.
I enjoy assisting in helping to get
things accomplished and I accept
this challenge with the idea of
continuing my involvement con-
structively.

Dear prospective voters.

Like most of the other members
of our class I have managed to do
my share of complaining for the
past two years and I think that it
is about time that I stopped grip-
ing and started to see what I can
do. In the past certain reasons have
prevented me from running for of-
fice, so now that I am able, I am
"psyched up" to get going. I have
held different offices in various
clubs and organizations previous to
my entering college but to me this
office is more important than any
three of those. I feel this way be-
cause now my responsibilities will
be to men who are not afraid to
criticize you to your face and who
can offer helpful suggestions,
whereas only snide remarks and
behind the back complaints were
made by the high school "kids."

In the past there has been a lot
of complaining about Student Rep-
resentatives. I feel they were unjust
in some cases. I know the present
, representatives personally and I
believe that they are doing their
best. However, their best may not
be good enough, it seems, to sat-
isfy our class and it is possible
that mine will be. I don't want to
be just a complaint rectifier con-
cerning old issues but an instru-
ment in making our class respon-
sible for some NEW undertakings!

My goal will be to reflect a de-
sire to please, and, since you can't
please everyone all of the time, you
fellows should have no trouble
keeping me on my toes. In essence
I am asking you to let me prove to
you and to myself that I have what
it takes to work with, not "kids,"
but men.

Gordon Getz

CLASS OF 1972

OFFICE OF PRESIDENT

DAVE FARRAR

The purpose of this article is to
inform the Class of 72 that I, Dave
Farrar, am running for the office of
President.

Delaware Valley College has
many problems and by pooling and
directing the energies of our class
into the right veins changes can
come about, changes concerning
the cafeteria system, the grooming
code, regulations regarding girls on
campus, and student apathy.

One of the major problems on
our campus is a lack of communi-
cation between the Administration
and the students. This lack of com-
munication keeps the students in
the dark and brings about much
student discontent. This concern
can be resolved by orienting the
students to the problems that face
the Student Government and the
Administration.

There are many problems that
face the Administration that we as
students are not aware of. When
these problems are resolved we
are given answers with no explan-
ations. We should know the rea-
sons behind some of our policies,
because every administrative deci-
sion affects the students in some
way. By developing a strong line
of communication we will have
the vehicle through which change
can come, the vehicle through
which our explanations can come
and the vehicle to make Delaware
Valley College a better college.

A President must seek out prob-
lems and guide and direct the re-
sources of his class to solve those
problems. If elected as President
of our class I will direct and guide
the energies of our class to bring
about changes that will solve our
problems.

Thank you,
Dave Farrar 72

There are several reasons why 1
am running for President of the
('lass of 1972. The central point be-
hind those reasons is the fact that
I care. I intend to spend the next
three years here at Delaware Val-
ley College, and I'd like to make
your stay and mine as pleasant and
enjoyable as possible. By letting
me represent you, your ideas and
your opinions, I feel that we can
obtain this goal.

I hold the same opinion as Dr.
Paul R. Anderson, President of
Temple University. In his address
during the Founder's Day Convo-
cation here at D.V.C. he stated
that times are changing and so
must education and the institutions
of education. These changes can-
not be brought about by sitting in
your room complaining. The
chronic complainers are one of the
biggest problems here at our col-
lege. It's true that some of these
students might not like everything
about Del. Val. but they are here
now so why not make the best of
it.

What has happened to the "great

f)oteritial" that our class had in the
>eginning of the year? Apathy has
taken over and the class lacks the
unity it needs to succeed. Lets get
together and work to make our
class and our school as great as
possible.

In conclusion, I urge every mem-
ber of the Class of 1972 to attend
the meeting on Wednesday, April
9, and to listen to each candidate
and what he has to sav. Then, and
only then, vote on Friday, April 11,
for the man that you think will best
represent you.

EARL WEAVER

Fellow Candidates and

Classmate! of the Class of 1972,

I have decided to run for the
office of Vice President of the Class
of 1972, because I believe the Vice
President is a vital link in the chain
of class leadership. There are many
duties and responsibilities connect-
ed with this office. However, I will
accept them as a challenge to im-
prove the class.

The Vice President is responsible
for establishing all committees and
coordinating their work. I feel that
many improvements can be made
in the committee work of our class
to increase the amount of partici-
pation and to improve the com-
munications between officers and
members.

OFFICE OF S. G.
REPRESENTATIVE

RAYMOND C. FUNKHOUSER

To the Class of 1972:

Once again I am asking you for
your support to reelect me as your
Student Government Representa-
tive for the 1969-70 year. Earlier
this year I asked you for your sup-
port, and I was given it. I am very
grateful. Between that time and
now I have tried to give you my
support by promoting ideas that
members of the class have had.

The Student Government has ac-
complished many things for the
students this year. I won't go into
everything that has been done, be-
cause an entire issue of the Furrow
could be devoted just to that. Just
look around campus and look at
the changes that have occurred
since we started the year. What is
important is that the Student Gov-
ernment is not perfect. Having
been a m em b er of Student Govern-
ment for this vear, I have been
able to see some of our weak-
nesses that can not be seen unless
one is associated with the govern-
ment. This is my major concern for
next year: to develop a better gov-
ernment to better serve the mem-
bers of our College and our Class.
I can only do this with the support
of the Class of 1972.

Sincerely,

Ravmond C. Funkhouser

ROBERT HOCKING

Fellow Students of the Class of 72,

As you may already know I am
running for the position of Student
Government Representative of our
class. The Student Government is
a very necessary link between the
Administration and the Student
Body. To date the Student Govern-
ment has increased privileges and
activities on campus and it will
continue to do so with proper rep-
resentation of the students' ideas
and suggestions by the Representa-
tives.

I have had experience in this
area as a representative in high
school and I have held active of-
fices in 4-H for the last four years.
I feel very strongly that I can fill
this post and, if elected, I will work
to the best of my ability to serve
you.

A-Day 1969

Promises To
Be Better
Than Ever

What exactly is "A" Day and
what does it mean to the students
of D.V.C? "A" Day, in essence and
original purpose, is a weekend de-
voted to the displaying of the
students' abilities to render to the
viewing public creative and visual
aspects of agriculture, biology,
chemistry, and recently, business
administration. Through the var-
ious projects which the students
create, practical experience in the
realm of their majors is achieved.
This fact alone gives the student
an extremely broad practical back-
ground which cannot be gleaned
from textbooks. "A" Day also tends
to unite the students in activity,
although the present trend towards
preoccupation with the commer-
cial and business aspects of "A"
Day has seemed to deplete general
interest to a degree.

"A" Day 1969 is a study in or-
ganization. Plans for this spectacu-
lar weekend were initiated in
September and they have been
carried out under the efficient
leadership of Bill Varano. Meet-
ings were held every other Monday

The A-Day Committee, this year head-
ed by Bill Varano, must be considered
the backbone of A-Day and in large
part responsible for its smooth opera-
tion and success.

during the first semester and every
Monday during the second semes-
ter. Combined with these frequent
"A" Day Committee meetings, the
committee, comprised of represen-
tatives from each club, sent chair-
man Varano to meet weekly with
the faculty "A" Day advisors to
discuss progress and policies.
Through the faculty advisors, sage
advice has been given to help the
gears of the student "A" Day Com-
mittee mesh more efficiently.

The "A" Day Committee was not
the only organization involved in
pre-planning activities. The major
clubs on campus have formulated
advanced strategy and plans for
"A" Day also. For example, the
Dairy and Animal Husbandry
Clubs' members have been groom-
ing and training their animals since
February, while the Ornamental
Horticulture, Horticulture, Agro-
nomy, and Food Industry Clubs
have been devising plans for their
various exhibits, displays, and re-

DINING HALL

GETS

NEW MANAGER

by Larry Martel

As there has been a change in man-
agers, this interview was conducted to
find out how bright are the prospects
for more changes. Also it is to inform
the students of the new development.
Only four questions were asked of Mr.
Martin Heaps, who is 24, married, and
English. His answers, in short form, fall
under the following headings:

Experience

3 years — Hotel School in England.

1 year — Palace Hotel, England.

1 year — Zimmerman Hotel, Switzer-
land.

1 year — Guys Hospital, England

6 months — Bayswater Hotel, London.

1966 — came to the United States be-
cause he liked our way of dealing with
the food industry. He joined M.W. Wood
Incorporated.

Hi years — Franklin and Marshall; as-
sistant manager.

6 months — Kutztown State as senior
assistant manager; was sent to D. V. C.
by the company which offers the food
sen ice for the dining hall.

New Ideas

Mr. Heaps is too new to have devel-
oped new ideas for D.V.C. But he wel-
comes any ideas or suggestions. He is
willing to hear complaints either in per-
son or through the Food Committee.

Improvement

Mr. Heaps feels there is room for
improvement, but needs the students to
tell him what is wrong.

First Impessions of this College

Beautiful campus and good facilities.
Needs students' help in keeping Dining
Hall clean.

In all, Mr. Heaps welcomed the chance
of coming here. Knowing how a dining
hall like DVC's works, he is really in-
terested in the betterment of the food
and the service. This was shown when
he took down points I happened to re-
mark about (an extended breakfast hour
and seconds on food), because nobody so
far has approached him about these mat-
ters. Remember, progress might be made
if you, the students, will work together
with the Food Committee, headed by
Fred Harties, by using it as an avenue
to reach Mr. Heaps with your sugges-
tions or complaints. Mr. Heaps promises
he will work on any suggestions. Also,
he suggests that you apply now for a
job in the Dining Hall in September if
you are interested. By that time, im-
provements may be seen around the Din-
ing Hall.

WAGE MEMORABLE CAMPAIGNS

The election campaigns are over,
the students have selected then-
new officers and have chosen Gery
Fisher as their Student Govern-
ment President. Looking back on
the elections one can see the plan-
ning and effort that went into Gery
Fisher's and Bob Winner's cam-
paigns. Messages from the Sky,
Rallies, Posters, Banners and Signs,
a full page ad in The Furrow, door
to door campaigning and hand
shaking, were some of the means
employed by the candidates to win
the votes. It was truly one of the
most spirited and expansive cam-
paigns this campus has seen or per-
haps will ever see. Both candidates
and those interested students who
gave of their time and talents in

numbers to cast a ballot for the candi-
dates of their choice.

the campaign should be congratu-
lated for their part in making this
election stand out from those of
past years.

Now that the election has taken
place and the results have been re-
leased it is the duty of each mem-
ber of the student body to support
those selected by the majority, to
bury the hatchet as it were and
unite behind the new officers.
Only if given this support can
these newly elected officers hope
to accomplish their objectives.

Letters

Edito

April 24, '69
Dear Editor . . .

Although not a serious problem in itself, this did present a very
serious one at the time it occurred. I'm referring to turning off the lights
on the day of the Junior Prom.

The school knew both of the Prom and that they would be turning
the lights off at this time. I feel that it was a very poor time to do any
type of work on the electrical system. Couldn't an earlier time have been
used? Many of us had to wash and shave in the dark in order to be ready
to pick up our dates. It's a sort of a hit-and-miss deal, trying to shave in
the dark, and when you miss it's no fun.

For any situation in the future such as this I hope the person in
charge of the work or operation will take into consideration the possible
problem which may arise.

— Fritz Blum

Editor's Note: Dorm I and Dorm II were really the only dorms in which light
in the bathrooms was greatly effected. All the other dorms get sufficient light
from windows. The few in those dorms I guess will just have to call it a sacrifice
for progress.

WORLD

PRISMATIC

VIEWS

— Bob Edwards

Well, this being my last article of the 68-69 year, one might be expected to
produce either of two types of article. First, I might kiss the year good-bye by
cutting everybody up and thus cause a few last-minute hatreds to be carried over
to next year. Second, I might congratulate everybody on what a wonderful year
this has been for all the students at the N.F.S. Rather than commit myself to one
style of article, I thought I might combine the two ideas. So what you are about
to read might stir you in either direction.

Let me start by congratulating Steve Peters on his and his peers' gallant effort
to make this a non-sex-starved campus. Better luck next time, Steve. In my last
article I mentioned the dining hall conditions and when my comments about the
dress style of the waiters were read, I received a lot of criticism, all of which would
be censored if I were to include it in this article, so I won't waste my words. But
I'll tell the waiters right now that there are pants supplied by the cafeteria manage-
ment if a waiter wants to keep his precious blue jeans spotless of food stains.

Censorship is another area that shouldn't go unmentioned in this article. Does
the average student realize that every article that goes into the Furrow gets censored,
and that if the censor does not like or understand what has been written he can
strike it from the article, or worse than that, he can change what has been written?

There is a plan about campus to aid the student in his promised changes for the
future years. It is known as the Trust Company, and I will not criticize or condemn
it. The Administration is trying to figure out just what it wants, but they have a
sneaking suspicion that this organization wants what every other organization on
college campuses wants in 1969.

Finally, I would like to end on a pleasant note by congratulating all the newly-
elected class officers and student government officers. Good luck and best wishes on
behalf of everyone on Publications.

This issue marks the 12th and final issue for the season. The
Furrow Staff hopes that you, the reader, have enjoyed this
year's paper. It is true that the The Furrow is far from perfect
but it can only improve with your support. In the very near
future publications will hold a special meeting to establish
next year's staff. If you are interested in helping to shape next
year's Furrow we urge you to attend this meeting.

treats all during the second semes-

ed with agriculture.

are the Co-Ed Milking Contest, the
Greased Pig Contest, the Tractor

the Greased Pole Contest, the Log
Sawing Contest, and, new to "A"
Day this year, a Log Balancing

of the "A" Day Queen and the "A"

most assuredly make "A" Day '69
a rewarding experience for all who

Suspension
Stirs Freshmen

Freshmen residents of Wolfsohn Hall
were disturbed when they received word
that a suspended member of their class
who had been given permission to stay
in the dorm till the end of the week ( be-
cause of transportation difficulties) was
asked to leave sooner. The man, who had
received a hearing before the Student
Affairs Committee, was suspended for
having two female overnight guests in
his room prior to spring vacation.

When approached concerning the mat-
ter Mr. Fulcoly, Dean of Students, point-
ed out that it is normal policy that a
suspension to be immediate and that
permission to stay till the end of the
week was an exception to the general
policy.

Mr. Fulcoly said that the matter was
reconsidered and it was subsequently
decided that the freshman in question
did in actuality have a transportation
problem and was informed that he could,
as originally told, stay till the end of the
week.

sponsored mixers on Friday, May
9th. The Saturday Niite will be
the featured group. Also on the
bill will be The Ovations and a
light show by the Gettysburg
Steam and Light Company. The
club has made a determined effort
to bring the mixer to the attention
of many women's colleges and
nursing institutions, etc., many of
which have never been approached
before. It is hoped that this extra
effort will be rewarded by a good
female attendance. All aspects of
our campus mixers for example, re-
freshments, admission procedure
and the like have been examined
and it is the hope of the Contem-
porary Club that improvements
can be initiated to make this mixer
one of the, if not the, best of the
year.

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

And what a night it was! Yes, the Class of 70 pulled through with
another roaring success. On Saturday night, April 19, 1969, the Class of
70, for the first time ever, sponsored a Junior Prom. The elegant setting
of this Prom was the Fiesta Mohawk Motor Inn in Willow Grove, Pa.
Held in the "Cactus Room", those who attended the Prom were full of
high spirits and great enthusiasm. Greeting the fifty couples that at-
tended the affair was a receiving line composed of: Dr. and Mrs. Work,
Dr. and Mrs. Turner, Dean and Mrs. Fucoly, and class advisor, Dr.
French. The music was provided by the Don Peebles' Orchestra and
they played a variety of music including the "Hokey-Pockey." The Juniors
were very grateful for having an "open bar" which made the evening a
more enjoyable one. As it stands now, the Class of 70 is eagerly antici-

Eating their Senior Prom next year. Whatever that may be, it will truly
e another night to remember.

Circle K
Recap

1968-69

The Circle K Club held 9 hayride tour
for a group of underprivileged children
from Philadelphia on Saturday, April 12.
This service project was done in con-
junction with the Circle K Club of the
University of Pennsylvania, which pro-
vided the transportation for the children.
The tour consisted of a picnic lunch at
Lake Archer, a tour of the College dairy,
which included a demonstration on milk-
ing a cow, and a tour of the hog, sheep,
and beef cattle farm. The children were
transported to and from these various
places of interest in hay wagons.

The forty children participating in the
hayride are children from the poorer sec-
tions of Philadelphia. Many of these
children had never been out of the city.
They had never seen animals or orchards
and had never had a chance to take a
hayride. As a matter of fact, some of the
boys from the University of Pennsylvania
that accompanied them had never seen
such things either. It was quite apparent
to all those connected with the hayride
that those forty kids never had so much
fun as they did that day.

The hayride proved to be a truly re-
warding experience to the men of Circle
K. To see children of rather poor back-
grounds really enjoying themselves gives
a guy a sense of pride that he is doing
his small part for the betterment of man-
kind.

Underprivileged children enjoy the
country which many never dreamed
existed.

The Circle K Club of Delaware Valley
College is adding the finishing touches
to another successful year of service. Cir-
cle K is an international organization
dedicated to the functions of ( 1 ) service
to campus, community and mankind in
general, and (2) the development of re-
sponsible leaders. Circle K and Key
Clubs are sponsored by Kiwanis Interna-
tional.

This year Delaware Valley Circle K
has undertaken many activities. Among
them are the following: A hayride for
underprivileged children from Philadel-
phia, a car rally for spring weekend,
campus tours for prospective Delaware
Valley students, mixer cleanups, Laurel
and Hardy films for student entertain-
ment, a hayride during a mixer, aid to
our local Kiwanis in their amateur tal-

DAIRY SOCIETY

VISITS
HANOVER HILL

On April 16th the Dairy Society trav-
eled to eastern New York state, one of
the top dairy regions in the country. The
first stop was a visit to the famous Hill
Holsteins at Amenia, where owners Pete
Heffering and Ken Trevena have as-
semhled one of the most impressive herds
of Holstein cattle in America. Mr. Hef-
fering was on hand to show the group
the herd, which includes 15 "Excellent"
cows and two 1968 All-Americans.

Next stop was Bel-Air Farms at Mill-
brook, which is a large commercial op-
eration where aproximately 1000 Hol-
steins are housed in a free-stall setup and
milked in a 24-cow milking parlor. Six-
teen Harvestore silos and a completely
automated feeding system provide the
herd with concentrates and roughage.

Also visited was nearby Tymor Farms,
which has a very outstanding Registered
Jersey herd. Society members were thor-
oughly impressed by the excellent care
and management of the herd and the
immaculate facilities.

The final stop was a family-type farm
in La Grange which has a herd of ap-
proximately 100 Registered Holsteins.

The eighteen members of the Society
and advisor Mr. Smith, who made the
trip, returned to Doylestown at 10:30
p.m. after traveling over 400 miles and
seeing over 2000 head of dairy cattle.

Mr. Jack Miller, area representative
for Curtiss Breeding Service, Cary, Illi-
nois, was the speaker at the April 14th
meeting of the Dairy Society. Curtiss
has approximately 90 hulls in stud at the
present time and Mr. Miller discussed
bull selection and the long process of
proving the young sires.

The Delaware Valley College
Apiarist Society presents the
"Honey Festival Exhibits" and wel-
comes all "A-Day" visitors to Man-
dell Science Building, Room 112.
The exhibit includes a display of
many interesting facts about hon-
eybees, a demonstration bee hive,
honey extraction equipment and
your chance to sample many dif-
ferent types of honey and choose
your favorite type. "Honey Bears"
will also be on sale at this location
so, please come in and see us.

ent show, and many others. Before sum-
mer, Circle K plans to show cartoons to
children on A-Day, hold a bowling
match against the sponsoring Kiwanis,
and plan the next year's activities.

On the weekend of April 19 and 20
five members of D. V. Circle K attended
the seventh annual Pennsylvania District
Convention held in Wilkes Barre, Pa.,
at the Sterling Hotel. At the convention
Delaware Valley Circle K received the
second place achievement award in the
Mnall club category. Last year D.V.C.
took first in this event. These facts indi-
cate that D.V. Circle K Cluh is among
the most active small service clubs in
Pennsylvania.

Block and Bridle
Club Prepare

For
Livestock Show

The Block and Bridle Club held meet-
ings on March 26th and on April 9th.
Two films from the Ralston Purina Com-
pany were shown at the first meeting.
The films enlightened the members on
the subject of feedlot management and
on feeding and the future in beef cattle.

A film called "The Changing Shape of
the World Beef Cattle Industry" by the
Squibb Company was viewed at the
second meeting. The film was about dif-
ferent breeds of beef cattle, methods of
disease control, and how cattle opera-
tions can make greater profits by em-
ploying new methods of management
ana feeding. Examples were drawn from
all over the world.

Preparation for "A-Day" has been the
main activity of club members. Many
students will be showing animals. All
people showing livestock must pay their
dues to the Treasurer before the show.
The General Livestock show is at noon
on Sunday, May 4th.

The Ornamental

Horticulture

Society Hosts

Two Famous

Speakers

The Ornamental Horticulture Society
presented a most interesting and knowl-
edgeable speaker on rock gardening, Mr.
Karl Griesnaber of Longwood Gardens
on April 8th. At Longwood, Mr. Gries-
haber is in charge of the famed rock
garden of which he designed and super-
vised the building.

Mr. Grieshaber began his informa-
tive discussion by showing breath-taking
slides of alpine plants in flower while in
their native habitat. These slides were
then contrasted to the way these plants
look when not given the proper growing
conditions or when planted out of con-
text, important factors to consider when
dealing with the specialized art of rock
gardening.

Next, Mr. Grieshaber showed slides
of rock gardens being built, illustrating
how a lifeless piece of land can be trans-
formed into a vihrant landscape of speci-
men plantings and beauty. During this
segment of the presentation, Mr. Gries-
haber imparted to the audience various
basic principles of rock gardening and
also some little-known hints pertaining
to this demanding and thought-provok-
ing art.

On April 22nd, the Ornamental Hor-
ticulture Society had the privilege of
hearing Mrs. Ernesta Ballard give a talk
, on house plants. Mrs. Ballard is the di-
rector of the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society which sponsors the Philadelphia
Spring Flower Show. Among Mrs. Bal-
lard's accomplishments are two excellent
books: Garden In Your Home and The
Art of Training Plants. Along with this,
she has written numerous articles for
"Horticulture" magazine and has be-
come known as an authority on house
plants.

The speakers which the Om. Hort.
Club has presented and will continue
to present are for the benefit of the stu-
dents and interested faculty because the
prime function of our club is to increase
education by providing out-of-the-ordi-
nary speakers who present information
not normally covered in the classroom.
Many of these speakers are famous in
their own right and should not be missed.
Therefore, it behooves anyone concerned
with horticultural science to attend these
events and to show some interest and
initiative in their majors.

The Ornamental Horticultural Society
has indeed found itself quite occupied
since Spring vacation. In addition to our
regular programs, some of the Society
members traveled to the George Weid-
ener Estate, in Erdenheim, where they
were the guests of the National Associ-
ation of Professional Gardeners. After
touring the fantastic greenhouses there,
they were treated to a program on sys-
temic pesticides, followed by refresh-
ments.

While talking with Angus Heeps, Su-
perintendent of the Morris Arboretum,
at the meeting, the Society members
arranged to obtain some new acquisi-
tions for the Schmieder Arboretum. The
Elants were dug the following Thursday
y one of the Junior Ornamental Horti-
culture Field Labs. These new additions
will substantially increase the plant ma-
terial inventory at the College.

On Friday April 18th, thirty Society
members and our advisor, Mr. Blau,
went by bus to the Brooklyn Botanic Gar-
den in New York City. Members of the
Society were given a guided tour of the
fifty-acre garden. Among the outstanding
features of the garden is a Japanese
Stone Garden, a replica of the 500-year-
old Ryoanji Garden of Kyoto, Japan.
This garden, with its carefully raked
white gravel, is an abstraction of islands
in a sea, and it sets an atmosphere of
meditation. The Classic Japanese Garden
features a lake, flowering cherries, water-
falls, and Japanese architecture.

Among the species in full bloom were
the magnolias, narcissi, and old-fashioned
bleeding hearts. Other points of interest
were the Bonsai Collection, the Cacti
and Succulent House, the BromeJiad
Display and the Tropical Conservatory.
Many of the members were also im-
pressed by the Elizabethan Knot Garden
with its intricate designs, the Rose Gar-
den, the Garden for the Blind, and the
Rock Garden. The group was given a
special tour of the prorogating rucJities
by a former "Aggie," Mr. Holm urn.

On the Society's departure the Soci-
ety's president and the advisor were pre-
sented with a flat of herbs and house-
plants to enlarge the College's present
collection.

All in all the Ornamental Horticul-
tural Society has experienced a quite
active second semester. Members in the
Society are presently finalizing their
plans for their "A"-Day exhibits.

The Past

On April 25 the Brothers of Alpha
Phi Omega joined forces with the Broth-
ers of Drexel's chapter of Alpha Phi
Omega on a joint work weekend at a
nearby Boy Scout camp.

During the first month of the first se-
mester A.P.O. had a project of cleaning
the woods in back of the Dining Hall.

Also during the first three weeks of
both semesters A.P.O. sponsors the used
book store where students can buy books
in good condition for a discount price.

The coat checks at the mixers are
sponsored by A.P.O. as a service project
for the campus.

THE FURROW

To Read And To
Listen, To Observe
- - - - Knowledge

No, this is not a chemical equation
but a knowledge equation, whereby the
reactants bring about a strong reaction.
It is the college's responsibility to fur-
nish the student with the materials "to
Read." This material for the most part
is theoretical. The applied aspect of
knowledge must be gained elsewhere.
This is where the importance of the
campus clubs come into play. Through
the guidance of a faculty advisor and
the initiative of club officers, profes-
sional people are asked to lecture at
club meetings and also club trips are
planned.

This year the Food Industry Club was
fortunate enough to be able to blend
both the "Listen" and the "Observe"
aspects of the equation. To start this
year's program, club members attended
an Open-House held at the United States
Department of Agriculture (U.S.D.A.) Re-
search Center located in Wyndmour, Pa.
This gave our members a chance to see
what the Federal Government was ac-
complishing in the field of agricultural
research.

To complement the observing portion.
Dr. Aaron Wasserman, a member of the
Eastern Utilization Development and Re-
search Division of the U.S.D.A., in
Wyndmour, presented to the members
and guests of our club at our annual ban-
quet, some interesting information on
the research being done in the fascinat-
ing field of Flavor, which many of us
take for granted.

We were also fortunate to hear from
a graduate of our School, Mr. David
Lustig. Mr. Lustig, who is employed by
the Tohnson and Johnson Company, re-
lated to us information concerning his
company's use of Collagen - the pro-
tein substance found in animal hides. He
explained that through research it was
found that this collagen could be used
instead of sheep intestines, which once
dominated the field, for sausage casings.
This raw material, being much cheaper
than the sheep intestines, enabled his
company to cut the cost of such casings
tremendously. He stated that although
at times we may think we are not learn-
ing very much, a good amount of the
basic knowledge that we aquire at this
School will be very useful in later years.

One of the most amazing and interest-
ing lectures was presented by Mr. Fred-
erick Meyer of the Kelco Algin Com-
pany. Mr. Meyer's presentation consisted
of a 40 minute film on Aquaculture
(ocean farming) called, "The Deep Fron-
tier", which showed how his company
is now growing giant kelp plants in the
Pacific Ocean. After the movie he ex-
plained that from the giant kelp, which
is familiarly called "seaweed," a pro-
duct known as Algin is obtained. This
product is now used in many food pro-
ducts today. Its moisture retention ten-
dency has made it invaluable for such
purposes as stabilization, producing
stable emulsions, and increasing the body
structure of our foods.

After much correspondence between
Dr. Turner, our faculty advisor, and
club officers with two business con-
cerns - Knouse Foods of Harrisburg and
The Hershey Company, Hershey, Pa., our
annual club trip was planned. Because a
day off from school was necessary for
this trip, the club thought that it was
best to use the time to its best advan-
tage. That is why tours were arranged
at both places.

.At the Knouse Foods plant, where the
main product in the winter months is
apples, we were divided into three
groups with a company supervisor for
each group showing us their facilities
and explaining what was occurring as
we went along. Afterwards, we were

Varsity Club
On The Move

The Varsity Club is doing its
part to make this year's "A-Day"
the most successful ever. After the
members discussed what role the
club could play in '69's annual
event, a solution was reached. It
was decided to pay tribute to the
"Ambassadors of the College". The
club members are erecting a bill-
board to salute athletics in '69, 70,
71, 72. On the bulletin board will
be photos of the coaches, action
shots, and team pictures. Also in-
cluded are next year's intercollegi-
ate schedules and the Varsity
Club's sweater, jacket, and blanket.

The purpose of this display is to
encourage high school senior ath-
letes to engage in Varsity sports at
D.V.C. This will enable the young
men to better themselves, their col-
lege, and America.

CLUB OFFICERS
Gene Wallace President

Don Stump Vice-President

Don Sechler Secretary
Jim Douglass Treasurer
Wayne Mehalick "A-Day" Rep.
Mr. Linta Advisor

asked by the company to be their guests
for lunch.

After lunch we were off again, this
time to Hershey. Chocolate Town, I
guess, would be a more appropriate
name. Through the correspondence with
the company, arrangements had been
made to have supervisory staff direct us
through the plant there also. We were
able to see the "behind-the-scene"
operations, not just the normal tour that
is usually shown, involved in the pro-
cessing of cocao and chocolate. Here
again we were fortunate to follow this
up with a lecture given at a recent club
meeting by Mr. Charles Hoffman, Pur-
chasing Representative of the Tasty Bak-
ing Company. Mr. Hoffman brought
along films that he had taken on trips
to Ghana and the Ivory Coast in Africa.
His narration of the films gave us an
idea of how these people live as well
as what is happening on the cocao plan-
tations. He described the many experi-
ments now in progress which demon-
strate how an increased yield of cocao
beans per acre can be accomplished.

This, then, is a review of what our
club has done to see that its members
receive the applied knowledge so neces-
sary in today's business world. It, how-
ever, would not have been possible
without the help of Dr. Turner and the
club members, who, through their ef-
forts in the club's two financial pro-
jects — selling pop corn at the football
games and working at "A" Day weekend
— gave financial support to the club.
The money earned from these projects
enabled us to reimburse the student
drivers for gas expenses and provide xe-
freshments after meetings when we had
speakers. It also enabled us to present
Dr. Turner with a gift from the club at
our banquet for the time and effort he
lias donated to the club.

AGRONOMY CLUB

PREPARES FOR

A-DAY

In an effort to make a good showing
for the Agronomy Department of D.V.C.
at A-Day, the Agronomy Club has begun
preparations to exhibit many interesting
and informative projects. Many of the
club members have announced their in-
tention of entering a project for the big
event. Some of these are: Tom Robbins
and Ted Debnam; Phil Jarinko, Mike
Cope, and Don Delp; Bill Camerer and
Bill Beers: Neal Hayes and Joe Kershner;
Brian Bailey; and Jim Thomas and Craig
Schaeffer.

Most of these projects will be shown
in the field corps lab in the basement of
Segal Hall. One of our important tasks
is to prepare this room for the exhibition
of the projects.

Many other projects have been started
for next year. A scrapbook of club ac-
tivities has been initiated. The main pur-
pose for this scrapbook is that it will
accompany the club members to the
National Agronomy Convention in De-
troit, Michigan. The club is also plan-
ning on taking an exhibit along if room
can be made available in Detroit.

Another project is the Soil Judging
team. Though not made only of Agron-
omy majors, the team is considered to be
a part of the club. Right now the inter-
collegiate team is preparing for the con-
test, which is scheduled to be held next
Fall at the University of Maryland.

As one can see, the Agronomy Club
is really keeping itself busy, and it is
destined to become one of the most ac-
tive clubs on campus, through the efforts
of its members and the advisors, Dr.
Prundeanu and Mr. Stratton.

SCSA

Tours
Strip-Mine

On April 14, 1969, the Delaware Valley
College Student Chapter of The Soil Conser-
vation Society of America journeyed to the
anthracite strip mine region of Pennsylvania.
The region comprises the Counties of Car-
bon, Luzerne, and Schuylkill. Our guide for
the day was Dr. Miroslaw M. Czapowskyj of
the Northeastern Forest Experiment Station in
Kingston, Pa.

This area tops the list in its need for con-
servation practices. Many experiments are being
conducted, but these are just experiments— not
actual practices which are much needed to help
this] area. One who hasn't seen this area per-
sonally cannot realize the full extent of the
problem nor can they understand the challenge
this area presents to the conservationist.

In the morning we saw the largest earth
moving shovel in Pennsylvania. It holds 84
cubic yards of earth per load. After this we
journeyed to actual spoils areas resulting from
strip mining operations. Tree planting is the
major effort both in stabilization of these piles
and in disguising their unsightly appearance.
Another project we visited was planting of
crownvetch for stabilization and beauty. The
acidity of spoils materials makes liming neces-
sary for existence of any biological activity.

We ended the afternoon with a trip through
the Pioneer Coal Tunnel in Ashland. This area
is part of the heritage of "Penn'i Woods". If
you get an opportunity to visit this area, don't
pass it up.

Hort

Establishes

Experimental

Orchard

With Mr. Frecon directing, the new
orchard is officially underway. Several
weeks ago 120 dwarf and semi-dwarf
rootstock apple trees were delivered and
placed in cold storage in the basement
of the Horticulture building. The orchard
is being located on the hill behind the
incinerator on the other side of the rail-
road tracks, an area provided with ade-
quate drainage and protection against
freering. The Junior Field Laboratory
students measured and laid out the or-
chard and plowing was done by Jim
Bowersox. The actual planting is being
done by the Sophomore Field Labora-
tory class. Hopefully the new orchard
will be completed by A-Day.

Hort Majors (from left to right) Joe
Petrosky, Ken Raymond and Joe Bert
plant a young fruit tree under the di-
rection of Hort instructor Mr. Frecon.

Many communities in the anthracite region
are surrounded by a panorama of un-
sightly coal-mine spoils. This is Girardville,
in Schuylkill County.

(Left to right) Brian Steager, Bob
Precheur, Steve Troth and George
Lovell construct protective wire guards.

Also, under the supervision of Mr.
Howell, the old peach and apple or-
chards have undergone quite a trans-
formation. Both orchards have been
pruned and fertilizer will soon be ap-
plied. In addition, Mr. Howell hopes to
set up a regular spray and maintenance
schedule for the summer months.

Congratulations to the Horticulture
Society. Mr. Frecon, Mr. Howell, and
particularly to those freshmen who so
generously gave of their time pruning
the orchards. The College can indeed be
proud of the outstanding job that these
fellows have done.

On Thursday, March 21, Henry Fre-
con, Bill Williams, and Fran Lippay,
who represented the Horticulture So-
ciety and who had worked for the Na-
tional Apple Institute, a nationwide or-
ganization for the promotion of apples,
traveled to the Sheraton Hotel in Phila-
delphia. While there they attended a
meeting held by the Philadelphia Dental
Association. The three seniors answered
questions about the apple industry and
the relationship between apples and
good dental health. They also handed
out literature and apples.

The Horticulture Society is making
plans for a trip to Adams County, Pa.,
on May 9, 1969. There the students will
visit the Adams County Nursery owned
by Mr. Baugher. They will also visit the
