Dr. Turner Awarded
IFT
Man o^the Year
Dr. George E. Turner, the Deai
of Delaware Valley College an^
an active member and past chaii
man of the Institute of Food Tech-
nologists, wa!| recently awarded the
honor of Man of the Year by his
fellow members.
The Philadelphia Section of the
Institute of Food Technologists was
formed in 1939 to join professionals,
technical workers, and managers in
diversified areas of the food field
into a unified professional body
that transcends the confines of
academia, government, and in-
dustry. The organization gives its
attention to advancing knowledge
and practice in food technology so
that ultimately better and more
adequate food can be provided for
mankind.
The IFT consists of approxi-
mately 10,000 members, including
6,000 professionals and 4,000 non-
professionals representing food-
supplier organizations. The mem-
bers belong to 37 regional sections
scattered throughout the United
States, United Kingdom, Japan and
Mexico.
The 370-member Philadelphia
Section publishes a monthly news-
letter, holds monthly dinner meet-
ings with speakers, sponsors tech-
nical seminars, and plans field trips
to selected food organizations. It
has committees concerned with
education, employment, student
loans and scholarships, publicity,
membership and recognition of out-
standing work by its members.
Dr. Turner was born in London,
England. In 1923 he settled in Win-
nipeg, Manitoba, where he did
* some farming. He left the farm in
1932 to attend college at the Uni-
versity of Manitoba. After receiving
his degree in 1936 he became a
foreman in an ice cream plant for
two years. In 1938 Dr. Turner was
awarded a fellowship to the Uni-
versity of California, where he re-
ceived his degree of Master of
Science in Dairy Industry and
Bacteriology.
In 1948, he received the degree
of Doctor of Philosophy from Iowa
State for his research work on the
Bacteriophage in dairy industry.
After leaving Iowa State, Dr. Turn-
er joined the staff of the South
Dakota State College as an asso-
ciate professor of bacteriology,
where he remained until he ac-
cepted a position at Delaware Val-
ley College, then known as the
National Agricultural College.

WAPO
by Drew Kotalic
A new addition to campus life
is 1300 A.M. Our new radio station
is owned and operated by the ser-
vice fraternity, APO. Kirby Ellis,
Rich Wilson, and lira Niedweske
are the station's first discjockies.
Music, local news, campus news
and announcements will be given.
Broadcasting starts every week
night at 8 and continues until 11.
The student government has pro-
vided WAPO with a significant
$200 donation, which should get
the Station well on its way. A plexi-
glass window is being installed to
give students a good view into the
studio's operations. The studio is
located on the second floor of the
Alutnni House.
Much interest has been shown
in the station's ideas, and if enough
interest is shown, WAPO will ex-
tend its coverage into the week-
ends.
Give WAPO your support.

Reports
The last meeting of the Food In-
dustry Club was held on Tuesday,
January 19, 1971. It was a short
meeting in which elections for the
various club offices were held. The
first election was for the office of
president. The candidates were
John Furphy and Gary Webb. Both
candidates gave a short speech in
which they each told what they
planned to do in future club activi-
ties. John Furphy won the election.
The other elections were for the
office of vice president which was
won by Gary Webb; the office of
treasurer won by John Smith (re-
ceiving back his old position); the
office of secretary worj by Bill
Windsor; the office of representative
to The Ram won by Steve Goscin-
sky; and the office of intramural
representative won by Greg Kratz-
er. Everyone is looking forward
to a productive second semester.

WHY
THE
CHANGE?
by Tom Pyle
The Delaware Valley College's
student newspaper staff has decided
to change the name of the paper to
'The Ram". The newspaper staff
held a contest enabling them to
have a variety of names to choose
from. The name "The Ram" was
chosen because of its significance
to the college as our mascot.
There are a number of reasons
why the staff felt the need for a
new name. One reason was, that
the staff is trying to revamp the
paper from the front page to the
last. In the past, the paper has
consisted of mainly club news and
sports. This year, the paper is try-
ing to be more informative, con-
troversial, and interesting. In this
issue there are topics such as: the
campus radio station, abortion ser-
vices, pollution control, and some
interesting letters to the editor.
Another reason for the change is
the fact that Delaware Valley Col-
lege is no longer strictly an Agri-
cultural college. The science and
business administration majors
make up a large percentage of the
Delaware Valley College students.
The newspaper staff feels the name
"The Ram" will be able to repre-
sent the entire student bo*'y of the
college.
It is understandable that not
everyone will be satisfied with the
name change, but it has been found
almost impossible to satisfy every-
body all the time.
Dean Turner has been awarded IFT Man of the Year.

One
Man's
Opinion
The Furrow has been accused of
being of low journalistic quality and
of being one-sided or un-sided,
politically. We've been told by some
that we are out of touch with the
majority of students in this college.
Some people also say that The
Furrow doesn't contain enough im-
portant, national, controversial or
interesting news. The criticisms
come from various faculty and ad-
ministrative members as well as
from the student body.
These critics fail to consider the
staff size and also fail to realize the
amount of work involved in pub-
lishing a paper. The need for more
help is apparent. We now have
new editors and a few new faces,
but the staff is still not large enough
to cover the news. There is plenty
of room on the staff for people who
want, or aren't afraid, to express
themselves.
The few students who have
written articles for The Furrow
have had them printed. Whether
or not The Furrow agrees with their
particular point of view has no
bearing on getting the article print-
ed because they ARE ALLOWED
to .express themselves and their
opinions freely.
The critics of The Furrow would
do well to get off their pen-points
and write articles for this publica-
tion and SHOW INTEREST in the
school instead of criticizing every-
thing the active and interested stu-
dents do. It has become evident
that all that these critics want to do
is to stop us from saying what we
feel and not get into the action
themselves. What has happened to
those who didn't mind getting in-
volved?
The critics are so unconcerned
that they won't even write a letter
to the Editor to offer criticisms of
or solutions for this publication.
They should do something con-
structive for a change. Their apathy
and the concerned students' hard
work have made The Furrow what
it is today. Now is the time for
those critics to PUT UP OR SHUT
UP.

JOBS
EUROPE
PROGRAM
Panorama City, California, Jobs Europe program officials announced that they
have guaranteed jobs available in Europe anytime of the year for hundreds of young
Americans 18 to 26 years of age — Summer and year-round.
The aim of the program is to give young people an inexpensive and unique cul-
tural opportunity to live in, and learn about, Europe.
This is the 10th anniversary of the program. To-date five thousand and eighty-six
students have worked in Europe with their help.
These salaried jobs are mostly for general help with large 1st class European
hotels. Most jobs include board and room. Friends can work with, or near each
other, if they apply together.
Vice President Dr. Van der Velde from Holland stated that "England and the
French and German speaking areas of Switzerland offer the best working, cultural,
r< c reational and leisure opportunities."
An important feature of the program, besides the guaranteed job, is the fact that
participants are free to travel where, and for as long as, they wish after completing
their work assignment.

Looking
Back
This is the first issue of The Ram
and also the first issue of the new
year, so I think it is only fitting
that we take note of all the change
that there has been on campus since
1969-70.
The first is the change of The
Furrow into The Ram. Another is
the absence of a campus laundra-
mat, but because of inadequate
water supply. Another big change
is the length of the cafeteria line;
it's longer now because the number
of students has grown again without
any change in the facilities.
We have two new additions to
the campus plant. One is a new
dorm, which is falling apart already.
One of the steps going to the
second floor is loose, and very
easily slants under your step. We're
also getting another basketball
court, but why is it perpendicular
to the other gym? Had it been
added to the other gym, by knock-
ing out a wall, we would have one
large gym for concerts, and also
making more room for the freshmen
and their parents on their first day
here and other large assemblies. As
it is, we have two separate gyms,
both with basketball courts, instead
of one large room.
We still have the rumors about
the dean making the rounds
through the dorm, but now they're
, started by the dorm counselors.
There are still "good ole" Saturday
classes; but everyone, students and
professors alike, enjoy them. So
why should we change them? Just
one more. Many of us are having
a new experience this year: cold
showers almost anytime you wash,
except at about 2 till 5 a.m.
To counterweight these minuses,
we have several very big plusses.
The first is the new hours for Open
Door Policy. Now if we could just
get rid of that theoretical book in
the jam, I'm sure everyone would
be even happier. Another big plus
is W.A.P.O., the campus radio sta-
tion. It's too bad that A.P.O. had
to get it themselves, instead of the
administration's seeing the need for
it and supplying the equipment. If
this were done, all the students
would have a chance to have a
spot, rather than just A.P.O. mem-
bers. Finally, someone had the idea
that perhaps linens didn't have to
be exchanged at night, so now we
can do it in the afternoon rather
than wasting time in line at night,
when we all have better things to
do.
As you can sec, there has been
much change on campus this past
year. There are probably many
more alterations, but I feel that
these are the important ones. With
9001 .nity, maybe we can get some
more changes for our benefit rather
than for the school's.

The
Unknown
College
Delaware Valley College of
Science and Agriculture, though
still having a farm school image, is
well known to every Doylestown-
ian. The local Doylestown newspa-
per, The Daily Intelligencer, does
an excellent job covering various
news items concerning our college.
It does such a thorough job that
people reading this paper often
know certain facts which the Aggies
themselves do not know. Hence,
those in the Doylestown area are
well informed about the sudden
growth and various improvements
taking place at Delaware Valley
College.
This is fine, but what about the
heavily populated portion of Bucks
County where there are many pro-
spective students and athletes for
our college? We find these residents
have only a very vague idea of
what D.V.C. is, where it is, and
what courses it offers. For example,
if an Aggie were to go to Levittown
and tell several people that he went
to D.V.C, he might receive very
unusual responses. People might
think this student is attending Dela-
ware County Community College,
The University of Delaware, Dela-
ware State College or a two-year
agricultural school.
Although these mistaken identi-
ties are sometimes understandable,
there is a significant reason why
D.V.C. is relatively unknown in
many areas of the Delaware Valley.
The Courier Times, a newspaper
circulating through an area of
Bucks County having nearly two
hundred thousand residents, men-
tions D.V.C. on only rare occasions.
If this paper were to publish articles
which appear in The Daily Intelli-
gencer, people might be able to
recall certain facts about our col-
lege. Bucks County residents should
be aware that D.V.C. is a four-
year college located in Doylestown
and offers degrees in Science and
Business as well as in Agriculture.
Residents in Philadelphia and
Montgomery Counties could also
become more aware of D.V.C.
through better coverage in Phila-
delphia newspapers. By obtaining
the same amount of publicity which
other Philadelphia area colleges re-
ceive, D.V.C. could become well
known to residents throughout the
Delaware Valley.

Refrigerators
In The
Dorm Rooms
There is a great deal of student
enthusiasm about having refrigera-
tors in the dorm rooms. Oris Hol-
lands, Samuel 104, is doing research
about renting small refrigerators
from National Sales Leasing In-
stitute Co.
The refrigerators would be two
cubic feet and would sit on the
floor. They should keep a tempera-
ture of 40° F. They would be rent-
ed out to each room for two dollars
per student per month for a period
of nine months. There also would
be a deposit of ten dollars or more
depending upon what the Student
Government decides. The Student
Government could also charge a
little more and make a profit from
them.
The students would be able to
store fruit, cold cuts, bread, cake,
milk, soda, juices, etc., in their
rooms. This would be very handy
because there is not a great variety
of vending machines on eampus.
The students would also have their
own choice of snacks. They might
even save money on soda and other
snacks. .
Some of the disad\ antages of
having the refrigerator 5 would be
the increase of electricity needed
in the dorms to run them. The total
electric output in each dorm may
not be sufficient to withstand the
refrigerators coming on all at once.
It alst) would be easier for students
to keep beer in the rooms. This
problem could be solved by having
surprise inspections of the refri-
gerators.
Cris is still waiting to hear from
National Sales Leasing Institute
about the amount of electricity the
machine would reouire for normal
use. Once he finds out this informa-
tion, he will look into the prices
and other information about the
electricity needed to run them, from
the Pennsylvania Electric Co.
When he compiles all the perti-
nent facts, he will submit them to
the administration and wait for
their reply.

Campus Radio Station
by David Teichman
On February 3 a radio station
will open up for all of Aggie land
to hear. A radio station is not a
new idea; it has been brought
before student government many
times before. But for one reason or
another it has been dropped, money
being the main reason. It was a
good idea then and it is a good one
now. It's a way of bringing a small
school like ours a little closer to-
gether.
Now APO has secured the equip-
ment, a room, and personnel to
run a radio station. All we are
asking you to do is lend us a little
support. I don't want to see this
project go the way other Aggie pro-
jects have gone, down to the lake
along with the firehose. Too many
people have worked too hard for
this one to fail. In the short time
that I have known this school I
have seen a benefit basketball game
go down the drain along with three
concerts, and possibly a fourth one
too. All of this happened because
of lack of interest on the part of
the students here. Everyone has
been yelling for a radio station,
and now we are going to get it
with very little cost to you; all we
want is your support. How much
effort does it take to turn a dial?
This is something that you wanted;
so you have no excuse not to get
involved.
IMPROVING THE STUDENT STORE
by Dan Roup and Len Higgins
The existing store layout is very poor as ean be seen l>y the enclosed floor plan.
By the elimination of wasted space and existing faults, and the addition of counters,
racks and new departments, it will be possible to utilize available space and operate
with the present staff of personnel.
This plan calls for the opening of the front counter to attract the attention of
passersby to certain types of merchandise primarily bought on impulse. The sick-
counter will be withdrawn and used for displays and for a new department allowing
the clerks more freedom of movement The new department will consist of new
counters two and three. Number two counter will enclose cards, posters, records,
tapes and more expensive items. Number three counter will eliminate the against-
tbe-wall counter allowing both customers and clerks to move around more freely.
The overall effect of these changes will be to bring more merchandise into the cus-
tomer's view.
After the counter situation is completed, floor-to-ceiling shelves will be installed
around the perimeter of the store to increase space utilization. These will functionally
eliminate wasted wall space and the existing tables. The obsolete ice-cream freezer,
cigarette rack, and pretzel machine will be replaced by vending machines because they
are convenience low-profit items. The existing cash register will be moved to ac-
commodate both front and side counters. Another cash register will be acquired for
use in the new department. This register will be located at the opposite end of the
store to serve both Dumber two and number three counters. Also, on the various
counters will be placed display racks obtained from interested vendors, preferably
with glass fronts.
The present line of merchandise carried by the student store must be restructured.
At present the emphasis appears to be on a diverse line of merchandise with little
or no consistency and little relationship, if any, to the student's wants and needs.
By using the following criterion as a basis for merchandise decisions, it will be pos-
sible to restructure the existing merchandise line; 1) Appropriateness and relationship
to other lines. 2) Profitability. 3) Growth potential, 4) Availability and competitive
conditions.
In restructuring the existing merchandise line one should place emphasis on
stationery goods and necessities. In addition to the existing line of stationery a paper-
back book section should be added which would include: Barnes & Nome College
Outline Series, Cliff's Notes. Dunn's Notes, and a selection of supplemental reading
material that will be of use to students in studying. Considering that the stationery
line is the store's biggest seller, the existing line should be supplemented so that it
can effectively cope with student needs.
After supplementation of the stationery line the existing line of necessities and
toiletries should be revamped. By adding substance to the necessity line it will be
possible to draw customers that will make additional purchases in other lines. Speci-
fically soaps, deoderants, after-shaves, etc., should be well stocked to promote cus-
tomer investigation of other merchandise. Since the demand for these necessities is
inelastic, it follows that they should be exploited. Thus, by the addition of this line
of merchandise, customers that would otherwise go elsewhere will be acquired. Since
this line is second only to the stationery line, it follows that it should he bolstered to
promote a general drawing appeal to the students.
MERCHANDISE
After adding depth to the necessity line, the next move would be the inclusion
of a line of merchandise including; cards, posters, records, and tapes. From student
reaction this line should have great growth potential and should also he very profit-
able. By making these articles readily available at the student store, students will
switch their patronage of a few stores in Doylestown to the student store. This line
by adding drawing power will also facilitate sales in other Hues,
Lasth/, since cigarette smokers buy by convenience, little thought is given to
purchase. Candy, crackers, etc., follow this convenience trend. Therefore, vending
machines, which have been proven able to adequately replace counter sales, should
be installed. The time required of clerks to wait on customers for these insignificant
purchases can thus be directed to more useful activities,

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
AND
DAIRY BANQUET
by Delbert Jones
The annual banquet of the Block and
Bridle Club and the Dairy Society was
held at the Collegeville Inn, Dec. 9,
1970. After a delicious smorgasbord, Dr.
Pelle. Head of the Animal Science De-
partment, gave an introductory speech.
Presentations of awards were made to
the respective members of each judging
team. Those awarded on the Dairy Judg-
ing Team were: Tom Boyer, Guy Hitz,
Fred Harteis, Boy Brenneman, Jim Mus-
ser and Warren Thomas. Receiving
awards on the Livestock Judging Team
were: Tom Williams, Charlie Mauck,
Doug Geible, Steve Schwartz, Bob Sol-
lenberger, Bon Sollenberger, and Bich
Osborne.
The guest speaker was Dr. Gordon
Cairns, Dean of the College of Agricul-
ture at the University of Maryland.
Dr. Cairns' speech was both tremen-
dous and interesting as he covered in a
very wide range the future of agricul-
ture. He brought up such topics as the
genetic capabilities in both livestock
and crop production. He pointed out a
new milk production record of 40,000
lbs. 2X milking in 305 days and* abo a
new wheat hybrid yielding 200 bu. per
acre. All of this will be necessary it we
are to feed the world's increasing popu-
lation.
Another area he talked about w is the
availability of land in the future Kach
day 4,000 acres of land in the United
States is being converted into housing,
highways and industrial development. He
also discussed the problem'* future far-
mers will face regarding pollution.
He further said that today's farmers
have to be much more sp'eialized in one
particular area of production. Farmers
are also working today in terms of big
business.
One final area he covered was our
responsibility in helping underdeveloped
areas to come up to our standards of liv-
ing by teaching them the newest techno-
logical advances.
Gary Butter and Mr. Smith should be
commended for acquiring such a dyna-
mic speaker.
Reply to Hermits and a Messy Campus
December 17, 1970
In reply to "Hermits and a Messy Campus," by Mr. David E. Bcnner in the
December 16, 1970 issue of The Furrow, I feel I must express a few disagreements.
I quote Dr. Joshua Feldstcin from the 1970 Cornicopia — "Tempora mutantur et
nos mutamus et illi — Times change and we change with it! Yes, Mr. Benner, times
DO change as do styles and education.
Long hair and sideburns are part of the changing times; they are just a different
style from twenty years ago. You say that "There seem to be a goodly number of
students on campus at present looking like hermits and tramps." This statement is a
gross exaggeration! A stereotype has developed in the past few years associating
"longhairs" with drugs, promiscuity and campus unrest. One does not need long hair
to use drugs or to start a riot. A student comes" to college to continue his education.
Appearances should be up to the individual student who is selling his brains, not
his person. Again — Dr. Fcldstein "... encourage evolutionary change ..." Please
open y<Tur mind for if it closes it ceases to exist!
It is not the students' "responsibility to decide such matters" as cuts. Students
who pay their tuition do have a responsibility to investigate and suggest changes in
any rule that exists. This is the students' school just as much (if not more) as the
Administrator's. The proposed attendance policy is an extremely feasible plan.
It is the lecturer's job not only to lecture material, but to be able to get the infor-
mation across to tin students. I am sure that anyone who can deliver a good lecture
will have no problem with (lass attendance. To quote the Dean of the College at
Susquehanna — "since the adoption of this attendance policy, two vears ago, there
has been NO NOTICEABLE DROP IN CLASSKOOM ATTENDANCE OR IN
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT."
Dr. George E. Turner once quoted Dr. Niebuhr who writes, "May you have the
serenity to accept what cannot Ix- changed; courage to change what should In-
changed, and wisdom to distinguish the one from t!,t other."
I must end with a quote by Dr. Tibor Pelle: "Show patience and understanding
toward vour fellow man." Try it and you just may find that the world will lie a
better place.

"Ye Olde
Ginkgoes"
by D. Sustak '73
The "Maidenhair Tree", or Ginkgo, is
a tree which has been suddenly thrown
into the spotlight at D.V.C., due to the
vandalism inflicted upon it January 8.
Perhaps a bit of enlightenment to stu-
dents not majoring in the Plant Sciences
might illustrate the concern expressed by
the plant-men.
The Maidenhair Tree is a handsome,
deciduous tree, with unusual fan-shaped
leaves. It can grow up to a height of 120
ft. It was imported from China about
two centuries ago. Its growth is sparse,
and it has upreaching branches. The
leaves are its chief beauty; they arc little
fans with conspicuous radiating veins
and an undulate outer rim. In autumn the
tree turns a glorious, clear yellow. The
Maidenhair is the only living species of
the order Ginkgoales, which flourished in
the Mesozoic Era. Scarcely any other
plant so completely fulfills the term "liv-
ing fossil". The common name refers to
the resemblance of the leaves to those of
the Adiantum, the Maidenhair fern. The
Ginkgo is dioecious, i.e., there are both
male, and female trees— the females bear-
ing a foul-smelling fruit and comprising
the majority of Ginkgoes on campus. The
Ginkgo is almost totally unknown in a
wild state and is very tolerant to most
forms of pollution. For this reason, it is
a popular street tree, especially in Wash-
ington, D. C., and its value as a lawn
tree is well recognized.

The Aggies avenged a last year loss
to Moravian, Wednesday nite, by hand-
ing the Creyhounds their 4th loss of the
year, 25-9. After Aggie, Bob Grice, was
decisioned in a tough match by Mora-
vian's Staffier, Ron Jennings got things
rolling for Delaware Valley. His decision
over Santee deadlocked the score, $*3.
George Cummins and John Hopper elec-
trified a big crowd with successive pins
over Sinek and Stanglen respectively.
Cummins pin coming in :34 and Hop-
per's gem in 1:34. The lead never
changed hands. After Marty Gould was
edged in his decision, Joe Thonus fought
back to make the Aggie advantage, 16-6.
Brent Franklin then was outdualed by
Long of Moravian to get the Greyhounds
near double figures, 16-9. It never hap-
pened. Ray Johnson, Larry Eisenhart,
and John Kolb made sure of that. The
Aggies are now 3-3-1.

Coach Floyd Marshall's grapplers
were faced with one of the year's
closest matches Saturday afternoon
against an always tough Susque-
hanna University squad. Neither
team controlled the match until the
final two bouts of the evening.
Delaware Valley came out on top
of the bitterly fought contest, 17-16.
In the 118 pound weight class
it was Rick Bechel of Susquehanna
decisioning Bob Grice of the Ag-
gies. Ron Jennings of DVC and Bill
Bechel drew at the 126 pound
weight class, 2-2. George Cummins
of the Aggies knotted the team
score at 5 by completely controling
Mike Ramage for a 10-0 decision.
Susquehanna added 6 more team
points with back to back decisions
by Dave Richman and Randy
Baily. Hard hustling freshman Joe
Thonus drew the Aggies within 3
points by oppressing Joe Schiller,
7-0. Brent Franklin kept the ball
rolling at 167 by outlasting Brian
Miller, 8-5. This effort again dead-
locked the score at 11. Then Ray
Johnson scored what was to' be the
decisive victory for the Aggie mat-
men. He defeated John Carey, 10-3.
In the 190 pound weight class cap-
tain Larry Eisenhart iced the Aggie
victory cake with a 13-4 win over
Ed Horn. And finally it was Gay
of Susquehanna pinning John Kolb
at 1:39.
The victory boosted the green
and gold above the .500 mark. They
are now, 4-3-1. Delaware Valley
will host Rider College on February
9th.

AGGIES DOWN GREYHOUNDS
by Lou Hegyes
Feb. 2 The Aggie basketball
team, 9-6 and 5-3 in the MAC, scor-
ed a key 86-75 conference victory
over Moravian College.
The opening minutes saw both
teams score evenly. The Aggies
managed to build a seven point
lead 47-40 with 3:21 remaining in
the half on Frank Richardson's buc-
ket, but the team failed to score in
the remaining minutes as Moravian
came back. The score at intermis-
sion was 47-46.
At the start of the second half
both teams again scored evenly and
exchanged one and two point mar-
gins. Then with 11:23 showing on
the clock senior guard Bob McEn-
tee put in a jumper to put the Ag-
gies on top for good (65-63).
Bob McEntee, Bill Dever and
Ralph White provided most of the
scoring punch in the remaining
minutes, but the defense played
the major role as the Aggies took
advantage of the many Moravian
turnovers.
The team displayed a balanced
scoring attack as Sechler (16), Mc-
Entee (15), Shelly (12), Teeple
(10) and White (10) all scored in
double figures. Sechler was also the
top rebounder in the game with 23.
Moravian's Jan Kapcala was the
game's high scorer with 22 points.

Feb. 6 Philadelphia Textile, defending
MAC Northern Div. and National Small
College champion, defeated the Aggies
by a 70-60 score before another paclced
house at Neumann gym.
The Aggies started off quickly as they
scored the first five points with Teeple
and McEntee doing the scoring. The Tex-
tile Rams were also held scoreless for the
first 2:11.
Textile toqk the lead with 14:40 re-
maining on Bruce Shively's bucket. The
Rams then started to establish the lead
that the Aggies couldn't overcome the
remainder of the evening. The score at
the half was 36-26.
In the second half the Green and Gold
played evenly with the Rams. At the
start of the half the Aggies mounted a
comeback, on key baskets by Sechler,
Teeple and McEntee, but couldn't cut
the margin to less then five points.
The game was a tough defensive battle
all the way. If luck is with the Aggies,
they may get another shot at Textile in
the MAC playoffs.
Don Sechler again topped the Aggie
scorers with 23 points. Don scored 14
of the team's last 16 points. Greg Teeple
scored 16 pts. Textile's Bruce Shively,
who provecf to be the thorn in the Ag-
gies' side, was the game's high scorer
with 26 pts. Textile is now 14-3 overall
and 8-0 in MAC action while the Aggies
are 9-7 and 5-4.

Jan. 30 The Aggie basketball
team traveled to Wifliamsport, Pa.,
to defeat the Warriors of Lycoming
by a 91-80 score.
Captain Don Sechler posted a
career high of 38 points as he hit
on 13 of 23 attempts from the floor
and also 12 of 13 free throws. Rich
Henninger was Lycomings high
man with 31 points.
Lycoming (2-11) put a scare into
the Aggies as they played a good
first half and led at intermission
40-37.
In the second half the Aggies
exploded and outscored the War-
riors 9-2 in the first few minutes
and continued to score freely as
they burned the nets for 54 points
in the half.
Sechler got help in the scoring
column from Bob McEntee with 13
points and frosh Gary Stoudt, who
added 12 points.
Big Don, with 19, was again the
leading rebounder, but Ralph
White and Frank Richardson haul-
ed down 22 rebounds between
them to add to the Aggies board
strength.
The teams record is now 8-6 over-
all and 4-3 in the league.

NEW SCORING RECORDS
Recently two of Delaware Val-
ley's most prolific basketball scorers
in recent years have reached new
scoring plateaus.
Don Sechler, the 6'11" senior bas-
ketball captain, cracked the all-
time scoring mark of 1482 points in
the victory over Susquehanna at
Selinsgrove, Pa.
The previous record was held by
Richard Prins '58, who now drops
into second place on the scoring
list.
Bob McEntee, another senior,
has also reached a new scoring
mark. Bob, literally playing in
Sechler's shadow for the last four
years, topped the 1,000 point mark.
He accomplished the feat in the
second half of the Aggies 91-62 vic-
tory over Washington College. Bob
can reach the 3rd spot in the
coveted list of scorers with only
about 11 more points needed dur-
ing the remainder of the season.
The following are the 1,000 point
club members:
Don Sechler 71 1677
Richard Prins '58 1482
Bill Eisel '69 1052
Robert McEntee 71 1042
Dave Bjornson '59 1022
According to the stats of Jan. 23,
DVC ranked third in the nation be-
hind South Alabama 802 and Au-
gustana (S.D.) .801—779 for small
colleges, in free throw percentage
with a .776 average. Don Sechler
was listed as the nation's leading
free throw shooter with a .933
average (56 for 60). Captain Don
Sechler was listed as 9th scorer with
a 20.3 average and 2nd top re-
bounder in the MAC stats released
Jan. 17.

War Games
This is your own Ram corre-
spondent, John Doe, bringing you
the Eighth Annual Vietnam War
Games, live from North Vietnam.
As you probably already know,
this is the eighth consecutive year
for the war games to be held in
Vietnam, with the United States
hoping for a victory this year, to
compensate for seven consecutive
losses. And now on to the games.
Bill Shows, a U. S. Marine Pri-
vate, is now starting the games by
carrying the symbolic torch to-
wards the the gooks' huts; once he
has started the straw huts on fire,
the games are officially started.
The games are started, and the
huts are burning now with many
gooks running out in every direc-
tion to avoid the massive inferno.
The first event in today's schedule
is the hand grenade toss. They're
now throwing grenades at the
gooks, and a new record was just
set — seven with one grenade. This
will definitely be a new first for the
U.S.
The next event is the marksman
award. Using the new M-16, the
U. S. should win easily, keeping
their 2-0 lead over the Vietnamese.
They're really going to town now,
shooting up a real storm. As I look
around, I can see the gooks drop-
ping like flies, a real victory for tne
U. S., making it a definite 2-0 lead
for the U. S. with only four events
left to go.
To save time, we will skip the
next three events, (with the Viet-
namese gaining only one victory in
guerilla warfare), and get down to
the main event of the day, fixed
bayonets.
This is by far the most spectacu-
lar event of the day, involving only
the expert skill of the individual in
hand-to-hand combat against his
opponent. But by now the only
Vietnamese left to compete against
are the women and children; but
what does this matter, since these
are war games being played under
war conditions, and the games
must go on.
REPRESSION
DOES NOT A
COLLEGE MAKE.
Well, you guessed it; it was an-
other easy victory, and by far the
most grotesque. But that's war, so
don't let it get you down, for may-
be one of these days you'll get your
chance, and maybe then we'll win
one of these games. However for
now it's been another real victory
for the opponents with the score
21 killed and 24 wounded for the
U.S., and 142 killed and 200
wounded for the Vietnamese.
When will the games ever be
over!?

Dog Food
The wild horse, a proud symbol
of arrogant independence, a crea-
ture which thrives on pure, raw
freedom — a creature which would
die without it, an animal to which
man owes his very life, is now in
danger of being killed off by a
world which is so blinded by its
own greed that it can't even see
the wrong in what it's doing. And
for what?!! — For a miserable $.06
a pound!! That's the going rate for
turning one of Gods noblest of
creatures into dog food.
According to the latest figures*
there are only about 16,000 wild
mustangs left, though once there
were millions. Once their huge
herds dotted the western plains —
now they only gather in small
bands. They are not covered by
any Game Laws, so they are hunt-
ed in every way imaginable. Some
states say Mustangers can't use
Jeeps to run them down, but can-
ning companies pay $50.00 for
every dead horse they bring in —
and they can get more with a Jeep
so they use them anyway. Some
even go so far as to poison water
holes, and then use a pick-up to
gather up the bodies.
All this has got to stop! Conser-
vation laws have to be passed to
protect these animals, and it's you
who has to do it. Don't say "I don't
give a damn" ... do something!
Write a letter to the Secretary of
the Interior (C. B. Morton — Dept.
of Interior — "C" Street between
18th and 19th Streets N.W., Wash-
ington, D. C. 20240) and tell him
what you think. Demand that these
laws be passed! Do something to
help this world . . . because it's
yours!!

Develop A
Dream
Surely every student at D. V. C.
has thought about a Student Cen-
ter at one time or another. But for
lack of interest and due to the pres-
ence of our old friend — Apathy, we
have settled for a temporary "Stu-
dent Center" that really doesn't
have that much to offer and which
also faces the possibility of being
moved or demolished. So that
dream of a permanent Student
Center is just a "maybe" of the fu-

Room
, Inspection
And Such
Is "room inspection" routine
search or selective harassment?
Most evidence would indicate that
the latter is more appropriate. Ask
yourself just which students have
been openly dissident toward ad-
ministrative policies, and then find
out whose rooms were recently
searched. Coincidence?
It becomes increasingly evident
that it is this college's (college?)
intent to purge potential dissidents.
The extent to which this crusade
has been carried out reflects a pos-
sible psychotic paranoia on the part
of policy makers here.
The subject of "room inspections"
raises related questions. Does the
student have any privacy whatso-
ever? Is the personal property of
the student respected at this "in-
stitution?" Does suspicion warrant
destruction of dorm room prop-
erty? Should the student be held
responsible for damage resulting
from "room inspection?" Personal
experience necessitates a unani-
mous negative response.
A few more questions, ^re not
representatives or the Student Gov-
ernment required to be present
during "room inspection?' Is not
the entire concept of room search
degrading and demoralizing to the
student body? Could it h« possible
that administrators are securing
their positions by "making names'
for themselves?
In the opinion of many students,
this college's administration and,
indirectly, its Board of Trustees are
involved in a campaign of blatant
intimidation against dissident stu-
dents, through actions such as
room search, in order to effect the
removal or withdrawal of those stu-
dents from this "institution."
It would be a mistake on the part
of the administration to assume
that the students will treat this
matter lightly.

GM Seeks
University
Support
The Project on Corporate Responsibi-
lity has sent letters to over 600 univer-
sities (including yours) asking them to
support Campaign GM - Round II, an
effort to make American corporations
more responsive to society's needs. (A
copy of the letter and the Project's
proxy statement are attached).
Specifically, the Project is asking the
universities to vote their GM stock in
favor of three new shareholder resolu-
tions that the Project will introduce at
GM's annual meeting on May 21 in
Detroit. If adopted, the proposals would
have a fundamental impact on GM's
decision-making process.
The first proposal would transform
the now closed selection of directors
into a real election simply by reauiring
GM to list on its proxy candidates
nominated by shareholder petitions; only
candidates nominated by management
are listed there now. All shareholders
thus would have the opportunity to make
meaningful nominations and to choose
among opposing nominees. The second
proposal would give three of GM's most
important constituencies — consumers,
dealers, and employees — a voice in
GM's decision-making process by per-
mitting them to participate in the selec-
tion of three GM directors. The third
proposal would require GM to publish
in its annual report hard statistics on its
progress on auto-pollution control, auto-
safety, and minority hiring, thereby pro-
viding shareholders, constituents, and the
public with the minimum information
needed to effectively evaluate whether
GM is meeting its public responsibilities.
The Project, a public interest center
in Washington, D. C. believes that giant
corporations, epitomized by General
Motors, are virtually private govern-
ments; their decisions fundamentally af-
fect the lives of millions of people in
areas ranging from product safety to em-
ployment discrimination to environmental
pollution. Yet those decisions are made,
far removed from public view, by a nar-
row group of self-chosen men — isolated
from the people their decisions affect and
insulated from the public pressures that
shape the decisions of society's other im-
portant policymakers. The Project,
through Campaign GM and its other acti-
vities, seeks to subject corporate deci-
sions to public scrutiny and to make
corporate decision-makers directly ac-
countable to the people affected by cor-
porate action.

Soil Conservation
Club Elections
At a meeting on February 16, the Soil
Conservation Club held its annual elec-
tions, and the following officers have
been chosen. Wayne B. Kneer succeeded
Joe Kershner as the club's president.
The vice president's post went to Jeff
Segan, secretary-treasurer to Eric Scheib,
and the public relations office to Angelo
Petraglia.
All students are cordially invited to a
joint meeting between the Soil Conser-
vation Club and the Ornamental Horti-
culture Club to be held on March 2, at
7:30 p.m., in room 215, Mandell Science
Building. The guest speaker will be John
Rahenkanp, a landscape architect, who
will explain the ecological value of subur-
ban housing developments retaining the
lieauty of agricultural and woodland
iwvas.
The Soil Conservation and Agronomy
Clubs will hold a banquet on March 25,
at the Collegcville Inn.
In campaigning for the Campaign GM
proposals, the Project will concentrate on
institutions, such as universities, founda-
tions, union pension funds, banks, mutual
funds, churches, and insurance companies
(who together own over 40* of GM's
stock), urging them to make use of their
power as major shareholders in GM to
make GM more responsive to public
needs. The Project will also campaign
among the constituents of those institu-
tions — church members, university stu-
dents, teachers and alumni, bank deposi-
tors, mutual fund investors, insurance
policy holders, union members — urging
them to insist on their institution's sup-
port. A major goal of Round II is to
crack what it sees as an unspoken al-
liance between corporate management
and institutional leadership that has for
too long permitted management the lux-
ury of making decisions without chal-
lenge and policies without review.
The Project is particularly focusing on
universities, for it believes that they
have a special obligation to consider the
social as well as financial stake they
have in corporations they own. Cam-
paign committees have already formed
on several campuses - Stanford, Univer-
sity of North Carolina, University of
Michigan, MIT, Harvard, Cornell, Uni-
versity of Montana, Wittenberg, Colum-
bia and University of Pennsylvania, to
name a few — to devise ways of making
sure that the university's vote on Cam-
paign GM is responsive to the wishes of
the entire university community. Some
students are organizing referendums;
others are planning debates and teach-
ins. And some are working through uni-
versity councils or through special com-
mittees that have been set up to re-
evaluate the university's investment
policies.
Last year, the Project compaigned for
a proposal to add three public interest
directors to the GM Board and a pro-
posal to establish a Shareholder Com-
mittee on Corporate Responsibility to
review GM's public policies. As a re-
sult of that campaign, many people for
the first time began to consider the
social impact of corporate decisions. The
campaign precipitated intensive debates
within shareholding institutions, leading
many to reassess their investment criteria.
It attracted considerable public and
shareholder support, including the votes
of several universities.
Since the close of Round I, GM has
(1) appointed to its Board Dr. Leon Sul-
livan, a black clergyman committed to
making GM "more sensitive to human
needs" and (2) established a permanent
Public Policy Committee to inquire "into
all phases of GM's operations that re-

Project believes that these reforms can
be given effective meaning only by con-
tinued pressure on General Motors and
other large corporations.
Agronomy Club
The last meeting of the Agronomy
Club was held on Thursday, February
11, 1971. It was a short meeting in
which elections for the various club of-
fices were held. Nominations were made
for President at the previous meeting;
Scott Cook was nominated. At the elec-
tion Chuck Volpe was nominated, and
short speeches were given about their
plans for the club in the future. Chuck
Volpe won the election. The vice presi-
dent's position was won by Scott Cook;
the office of treasurer was won by Gary
Kravetsky. The office of secretary was
won by David Kindig; Corresponding
secretary, Eric Scheib; Intramurals Re-
presentative, Bob Kulp; Activities
Chairman, George Clippinger; Inter Club
Council, David Kindig. With these new
officers the Agronomy Club is looking
forward to a very prosperous year.

Chess Club Mass Rally
Notes
The college chess club has now be-
come a recognized campus organization,
its constitution having been approved
recently by the student government. It
represents a radical departure from the
usual student organization,' for faculty
members of the college participate with
the students, having the same rights,
such as voting, holding office, and tak-
ing part in the club's tournaments.
At a recent meeting, election of of-
ficers was held. Edward Hall became
the President, Mike Noble was elected
Vice President and Treasurer, Richard
Osman became Secretary and Team Cap-
tain, and Dr. Goldberg was named
Tournament Director.
A tournament to determine the rank-
ing of players within the club is now
almost over. Phil Cole won the tourna-
ment and assumes the first board, while
the player he beat in the finals, Richard
Osman, takes board two. Board three was
won by Dr. Allison, and board four, by
Dr. French.
It is hoped that the student members
of the club will have meets against two
area high schools, Hatboro-Horsham and
Central Bucks East. Both schools have
excellent chess teams and would provide
stiff competition for our college team.
The chess club meets every Wednes-
day afternoon at 4:00 in room 208 of
Mandell Hall. Any student or faculty
member wishing to join is cordially in-
vited to attend these meetings.

Who Says That
There Is
Nothing To Do!
Who says that there is nothing to do
Friday nights? Effective immediately,
another activity is being added to DVC's
Friday night life. Conrad Adami, the
manager of DVC's Intramural Bowling
League, has negotiated a special arrange-
ment for bowling rates for non-league
bowling. Mr. Mike Mignogno, the
manager of Key Bowling Lanes in Doy-
lestown, has agreed to charge only $2.00
to any DVC student and his or her date
after 9:30 p.m. whenever a mixer is held
on Friday nights. The $2.00 price in-
cludes bowling shoes for both bowlers
and three games of howling for each
person. These discounted rates will be
charged upon presentation of your DVC
ID card. Mr. Mignogno also said that
students arriving as late as midnight
would have sufficient time to bowl three
games before closing, and that all DVC
students bowling at any other time would
be charged $1.00 for three games of
bowling and bowling shoes, and their
dates would be charged the full retail
price.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
February 24, 1971
Students of Delaware Valley College:
There is a list here at DVC which has been growing all year. This list is one
which doesn't warrant praise or accomplishment. This list is the damage report con-
cerning college and student property— your property in either case. I can not answer
why this list has grown to such a length this particular year, but I do know that
it affects every person who is in any way connected with DVC, including you the
student.
When any college property is damaged or stolen, who pays for it? I suppose we
could easily say the college itself for it pays the bill. But who really pays the bill?
Each of you pays a great deal of money to attend this college. That money, your
money, pays for the functioning of DVC in all aspects. A professor's salary or
damaged property makes no difference; it is your money.
Damage affects you directly in your wallet. It also affects you in another way.
When you pay for something you expect to receive the most for your money. Are
you receiving the most for your money when it must be used to pay for the immature
acts of theft and damage? All of you agree that there is room for improvement at
DVC in many areas. Improvements cost money. Instead of your spending money for
improvements, that same money must be used to replace damaged or stolen property.
We are not progressing, merely attempting to sustain what we have now. So when
an improvement is not made due to cost, whom do we blame? Whom does it affect?
What do these thefts and damage show? What kind of impression do they make?
It shows simply the immature, uncaring, unconcerned attitude of a small percentage
of our students. It takes only a few to spoil things for the entire student body. When
a proposal is made to the Administration and the Board of Trustees about expand-
ing the responsibilities of the student as in the open-door policy and alcoholic bever-
ages, what do they see? Do they see students who act maturely, who have respect,
who can think? So what happens to the proposal? Whom does it affect?
Most of you probably remain unconcerned about this problem. As long as you
are not directly involved or immediately being affected, then you remain uncon-
cerned. You hear of your neighbor's tape player being stolen, the room next to
you being broken into, the student store being robbed, the ghinkos being girdled,
but none involves you directly. And when your buddy is involved in causing one or
more of the incidents, you say, "... well, he's my buddy; I can't expose him." But
what makes you think he wouldn't do it to you, wouldn't make you a victim also?
How far can you trust him? And when you become a victim, whom does it affect?
Which is better, your preventive interest, protecting yourself and your money,
or waiting until you become a victim?
The problem is real and is growing. Solving it is in your hands. If you neglect
it, whom does it affect?
Sincerely,
Thomas D. Brewer

Reports
The most important issue dis-
cussed in the February 9, 1971,
meeting of the Food Industry Club
was "A ' Day and the various prob-
lems which usually arise on this
occasion. The most severe problem
in the club is getting the members
to participate in exhibits and to put
in work hours. Many members will
sign up for work hours and never
show up. The club is going to try
to alleviate this problem by insist-
ing that those who sign up for work
hours actually do work. It was de-
cided, in order to promote enthus-
iasm, that the members be allowed
to have their dates work with them,
and have the time which she works
counted toward work hours.
At the February 23, 1971, club
meeting we were fortunate to have
a guest speaker. Our guest was Mr.
Fred Myers, a representative of the
Kelco Co., located in San Diego,
Calif. The company processes sea
kelp into various industrial — and
consumer — food products. Mr. My-
ers discussed the methods of har-
vesting and processing, as well as
the wide variety of uses applicable
for the finished kelp derivative
products.
The club banquet will be held at
the Latin Casino. The show will
feature either the Temptations or
Smokey Robinson, depending on
the decided date.

Lou's Views
by Lou Hegyes
Many thanks to the five graduat-
ing seniors on the basketball team.
Don Sechler, Bob McEntee, Greg
Teeple, Tom Wentzel and Frank
Richardson have supplied Aggie
basketball fans with countless
thrills throughout the last four
years.
Don Sechler, with his 27 points
against Wagner, broke his own sea-
sonal high of 468 points set in 1968-
69. The all-time scoring leader fin-
ished his career with 1,784 points.
His single game scoring high of 38
points was set this season against
Lycoming and his rebounding rec-
ord of 28 was against Muhlenberg
during the 1968-69 season. "Sec" is
also the nation's leading foul shoot-
er with 101 for 112. In all Don
holds 18 Delaware Valley records.
Bob McEntee finshed his career
as the third leading scorer at DVC
with 1,069 points.

Improvements For Our Store
by B. Lee Cornwell
In this project I will discuss several pertinent issues concerning the D.V.C. Student
Store. These issues are centered around the following:
1. Utilizing the existing space to hetter advantage.
2. Changes that could he made to make the operation more efficient.
3. Changing the merchandise arrangements*to facilitate efficiency and more sales.
4. Revising the store operating hours.
On the following page is the floor plan of the Student Store as it is now. At the
end of my review, I will incorporate a revised diagram with my suggested changes.
In this manner I hope to better explain my position.
The D.V.C. Student Store has been operating for several years. In my observa-
tions thus far, it seems to be organized in an extremely inefficient and careless
manner. Each year the store location changes, as well as the hours of operations.
This system cannot be used to any degree and be expected to produce profits and
returning customers.
During my interview with one of the store workers at a recent lunch time, the
store had only one customer in a time span of 20 minutes. It appears to be rather
ironic due to the fact that the lunch hours should be the busiest time.
I feel that due to the poor organization this is allowed to occur. Because no
"good" image has been projected over the years, students fail to realize that a
student store even exists. The lack of customers could also be due to the fact that
the store is moved from place to place so frequently. At one time, the Student store
was part of the book store, but it now is separate and has its head-quarters in an
obscure corner of Ullman Hall basement. As can be seen, this is no place from which
to establish a going business. I am very aware that the funds of the store are ex-
tremely limited, but there are changes that could be made to produce more profits.
If a new location is not feasible, changes should be made at once.
In making suggestions for changing the floor plan, one must realize that little or
no cash would be needed to complete the job. First of all, the entrance door should
be hinged as to allow the door to swing into the hall. This would allow for more
valuable wall space to be procured.
Next, space A, (as marked on the diagram) should be done away with. This
seems to be a wasted corner. The wall in front of this space could be removed, and
about 30 sq. ft. of additional floor space would be available. Proceeding around the
store, one can observe an unused display shelf. This shows very poor merchandising
procedures. Here, too, is a card display which hides valuable space. Next, an unused
counter comes into the picture. Here is wasted display space. The only other major
structural change that should be completed is that of changing the check-out counter.
As can be seen, the cash register is located some distance from the main counter.
Counter B should be removed and a different arrangement set up. Thi? can be
observed on the revised diagram. By doing this, more open floor space is available.
Also, the cash register is now in a more accessible spot. Needless steps to it have"
been done away with. This could also allow a serve-yourself theory of operations.
Browsing space has now been incorporated. This could facilitate a more of an im-
pulse buying.
I definitely feel that allowing the customers to move freely about the 'lore would
do more good than harm. Because the store is small, the worker on duty could keep
a close eye on potential shop-lifters. This would allow the customers to get a closer
look at many of the items. This is the approach that is needed to sell many items,
such as college mugs and shirts. As it stands now, the customer cannot observe the
merchandise as they should be able to do.
The next step in the changing of the store is to rearrange much of the merchan-
dise. As it stands now, the available items are not even grouped. For instance, all
the stationery products should be displayed in one section of the store. A good place
for this would be on the unused display shelf. Also, all the toilet articles should be
grouped in an open display. The razor blades should be placed with the shaving
cream and soap instead of in a corner by themselves.
The stock on the shelves on the far wall should be removed to a central store-
room for all incoming items. This would allow for more display space as well as
better inventory control. All goods would then have to come from this central storage
room and could be inventoried with more ease.
It can be observed from the diagram that the candy is located in an extremely
poor spot for a so-called impulse item. This display should be moved to the cash
register counter. Here, also, could be located some of the other impulse items. This
would include cigarettes and cigars.
I feel by making these simple changes in the basic structure of the Student Store
more efficiency can be realized. This could result in time saved and of course
greater profits.
Perhaps one of the biggest problems of the Student Store is the operating hours.
As of now, the store is open only four hours a day.( 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. -
7 p.m.) This is hardly enough time for any retail store to be open. These short hours
not only provide an inconvenience for the students but cut down on profitable time
of the store itself.

Dream
(Continued from page 1)
It's tough to believe, but there
is someone working for a perma-
nent Student Center. To the sur-
prise of many, Mrs. Toneau, secre-
tary of The Alumni Association, has
been hard at work since July in at-
tempts to raise funds for the new
Student Center. She reports that
this campaign has been much of
her job tnis year, as it will be next
year also. "Everyday I'm writing
letters and pushing, hoping to get
it up and over." This year, in its
annual Alumni - giving campaign,
the Alumni were asked to channel
their contributions to one cause —
The Student Center.
Thus far the Alumni alone have
raised approximately $11,500 to-
wards a permanent Student Center.
Mrs. Toneau states that their rea-
soning is as follows: "The Alumni
are doing everything they can be-
cause it was once their dream too."
But they can't be expected to bear
the burden alone.
Mrs. Toneau feels that the rea-
son for the lagging contributions is
that "It's hard to get action be-
cause everyone means to contrib-
ute, but they just put it off. There
aren't very many wealthy alumni,
so it's the five- and ten-dollar con-
tributions that help." But as for the
students, even just a dollar from
everyone would help.
The more interest that is shown,
that's all the more people that
would wake up and get to work.
The class of 70 unselfishly got the
ball rolling via a gift of $1,000 to-
wards the Student Center. Mean-
while the Alumni Association has
been accepting contributions from
its own ranks, friends, parents, fac-
ulty and students. Shouldn't we as
the students (who eventually, if
not now, will benefit from this
drive) lend a hand? It's a dream
that so many Del Val students be-
fore you had hoped to be a reality
in their time. We all can help either
through contributions to the Alum-
ni Office or by giving our help to
Mrs. Toneau, in Lasker Hall. It has
been estimated that the building
will cost approximately $400,000.
That's quite a goal. But just $5 will
buy 75 bricks towards this goal.
Won't you convert your interest
into action and help us develop the
Student Center dream into a real-
ity?

Our Store
(Continued from page 3)
Possibly new trial hours could be set up consisting of hours of 10 a.m. - 10 p.m.
I definitely feel that the extra lahor cost would pay off in profits in a properly man-
aged store.
Before any of these changes are tested, the advertising campaign of the store
should be strengthened. This could consist of bulletin board advertising as well as
ads in the college newspaper. The Student Store must develop a good image and
reputation.
The Student Store could also be open at college functions. Special times could
lx- scheduled for the openings. Football and basketball games provide an excellent
chance to sell college oriented goods such as banners, mugs, etc.
In this report I have assumed several facts. These an 1 'that the working capital
is limited and that another location for the store is not available at the present time.
I feel that by incorporating some or all of these ideas would vastly improve the
general store operations.

Aggies Over
PMC
by Lou Hegyes
Playing one of the better games
all season the Aggie basketball
team defeated a tall PMC team by
a 73-57 score.
The Pioneers came into the con-
est with a 14-8 record, but the ball
handling and defense skills of
guards Bill Dever and Dan Guers
killed what hope PMC might have
had.
Captain Don Sechler was high
man in the game with 26 points.
Greg Teeple (21 pts.) and Frank
Richardson ( 16 pts. ) supplied am-
ple assistance for "Sec" and the two
tiny guards.
The largest lead of the first half
and the game ( 20 pts. ) came with
just 18 seconds on the clock when
Bill Dever put in two to put the
score at 42-22. Frank Richardson
and PMC's Wally Rice led the first
scorers with 15 points each. The
half ended at 42-24.
In the second half the Aggies
maintained the lead with Sechler,
Teeple and Dever doing most of
the scoring.
Philadelphia's Wally Rice led
PMC with 22 points on ten field
goals and two free throws.

Broncs Stampede
Aggies
by Ed Biddle
Mistakes proved to be the deci-
sive factor last night as the visiting
"Broncs" of Rider toppled the Del-
aware Valley Aggies 23-11.
The final team score certainly
didn't indicate the suspense-filled
closeness of each bout. The Aggies
copped only three weighf classes
but lost several disheartening bat-
tles by 1 point.
Statistics showed Coach Mar-
shall's matmen really miscued on
one important factor which may
have lead to DVC's setback. The
Broncs nailed down 13 takedowns
as opposed to 7 by the Aggies.
In the 118-pound class Bob Grice
ran into pinner Rick Swanger and
suffered a 21-3 loss. Mario Ianni
added 3 more Rider team points
by dumping the Aggies' Ron Jen-
nings. 134-pounder George Cum-
mins provea to the bipartisan Ag-
gie crowd why he was the grap-
pling ace of DVC. He put the
green and gold on the score board
by conquering Rich Haslet 8-4.
Cummins' fine 8-1 record verifies
his reputation as one of the MAC's
top-rated light weights. The Val-
ley's John Hopper was nipped 2-1
by Woody Faust in the evening's
lowest scoring battle. At 150 Jack
Sheppard of Rider boost* d their
lead by 9 when he drcisioned
Marty Gould, 10-2. Joe Thonus
fell 1 point short of the Broncs' co-
captain, Toni Deangelo. The Bronc
senior nosed out the Aggie 158-
pounder 3-2 and thus maintained a
15-3 team lead. Glen Anderson fur-
thered Rider's win streak to four
confecutive bouts by squeaking out
a decision over Brent Franklin, 3-2.
It took an obstinate effort by Aggie
matman Ray Johnson to halt the
opponent's win streak and he met
the occasion by drubbing Joe
Vento 3-1. Captain Larry Eisenhart
injected another spark into the
crowd by decking Dave Wise at
1:51 of the third period. Eisenhart
is presently the leading DVC pin-
ner with 4 falls. Concluding the
stampede, John Barfus pinned John
Kolb at 2:38 of the second period.

So much has been said about
basketball that the efforts of the
wrestling team have been over-
looked.
Coach Marshall's team finished
the regular season with a 6-5-1 rec-
ord that could have very easily
been 9-3. The team lost a close
match to Western Maryland by
three points, lost to Glassboro by
five and tied Lebanon Valley.
Losing only heavyweight John
Kolb by graduation the team shows
much promise for the future. There
are three juniors, four sophomores
and two freshmen on the squad be-

The MAC championships should

PMC this past weekend defeated
Philadelphia Textile in basketball
53-52. It was Textile's first Middle
Atlantic Conference College Divi-
sion loss. The Aggies lost to Textile
70-60 but beat PMC 73-57.
Freshman Dan Damweber has
the distinction of being the last
player ever to score in an inter-
collegiate basketball game in Neu-
mann gym. He scored with just
eight seconds remaining in DVC's
106-85 victory over Wagner.

The five graduating seniors, Tom
Wentzel, Bob McEntee, Greg Tee-
pie, Frank Richardson and Captain
Don Sechler, playing their last
game for Delaware Valley, scored
52 points between them to lead the
Aggies over visiting Wagner by a
106-85 score in the last intercol-
legiate game to be played in Sidney
Neumann gym.
The Aggies closed Neumann's
record book in fine fashion. Not
only did they crack the 100 point
mark, but also all twelve players
on the team got into the scoring
column.
In the first half the Aggies built
an eleven point lead but a Wagner
rally cut the margin to three
points. Sechler's 17 points and Bob
Polinsky 's 9 led the Aggies in the
first half. The score at intermission
was 44-36.
Don Sechler opened the second
half with a ten point scoring spurt
and from then on the Aggies
couldn't be stopped as they con-
trolled the boards ans' dominated
the scoring.
The Aggies built a commanding
lead of 31 points ( S4-53.) when Bob
Polinsky put in two with 7:37 on
the clock.
Freshman Dan Damweber also
got into the spotlight. He scored
the 100th point with 2:15 left and
with eight seconds remaining be-
came the last player to score in
Neumann gym. The team's final
record is 12-10.

Intramural Bowling
Bowling has now become one of the fastest growing intramural sports during the
past two years. The league has grown from fifteen bowlers at the end of the '68-69
season to fifty bowlers for the 70-71 season. The bowling is held Thursday nights
at 6:30 P.M., at the Key Bowling Lanes in Doylestown. There is competition on a
weekly basis except for finals and vacations.
Scores of 200 or more have been abundant during the bowling season with almost
one-third of the league's bowlers attaining this achievement at least -pnce.

Thursday night, February 11, a
record for intramural bowling was
set. During the second game of the
league's weekly three-game series,
six games over 200 were bowled.
These impressive scores were
bowled by:
Joe Solomon 230
Ted Edzek 204
Bruce Breitweiser 202
Bill Reed 202
Conrad Adami 201
Dave Wright 200
Robert Abramson, the league's
secretary, rolled a score of 195 the
second game that night which is,
incidentally, the MINIMUM AV-
ERAGE needed to join the Profes-
sional Bowler's Association ( PBA ) .
Also, during the second game,
Steve Juliana rolled a game 76 pins
over his average, which is one of
the league's major accomplishments
of the current season.
In conclusion, it can be stated
that February 11 was the most
significant night for high scores
throughout the league.

Delaware Valley posted its 6th wrest-

handling Lincoln University, 34-6. John
Grice, Ron Jennings, and George Cum-
mins gave the Aggies a comfort .He edge,
15-0, on successive forfeits. Tl meet got
underway at 142 lbs. with Jofin Hopper
decisioning Earl Denis 9-2 Lincoln got
on the scoreboard quickly as Marty
Gould bowed to Kerry Moore, 5-2. Joe
Thonus then ran into some stiff com-
petition in ex-state champ, Greg White.
White's decision was it for Lincoln. Brent
Franklin and Ken Sturm stifled any hope
Lincoln had by decisioning Bill Palmer
and Jeff Lewis respectively, giving the
Valley a 24-6 cushion. Another Eisen-
hart pin (this one in 1:00) coupled with
John Kolb's prize (his in 2:49) chalked
up another strong victory for the Valley.

A Dream
Just as the title implies, this con-
cert started as a dream in the
minds of Student Government sev-
eral months ago. Reading over old
Student Government minutes, one
can see that numerous groups have
been investigated before the deci-
sion on Dreams was arrived at.
A few weeks ago, I asked who's
this new group called Dreams, but
you don't have to tell me now, and
I'm sure anyone who attended the
concert feels the same.
The concert was started by a
down-to-earth folk singer named
Mark. He entranced the audience
with guitar and voice of better
quality than expected. Mark, at
first seeming nervous and unsure
of the audience, soon became at
ease because of the astonished ap-
plause following his first number.
Sitting in the audience, I heard
several people remark, "This can't
be real — he sounds too good to be
true!" and that's about the only
way to describe his sound — too
good to be true.
Succeeding Mark was a group
that many of us had heard. They
have played at our mixers several
times, and need no introduction.
They are called Big City Music
Band. We have seen them advance
from a simple mixer group to a
back-up group for a concert. Per-
haps some day they will get top
billing and give a concert of their
own.
Dream had a sound of their own,
from a trumpet player who took
the heads of everyone to the sax
player and drummer who were also
talented. Their sounds, when com-
bined, engulfed the minds of the
audience.
Dream consisted of eight equally
talented musicians including: sax,
trumpet, drummer, bass guitar,
organ, singer, lead guitar, and
trombone. They had the look of
Blood, Sweat and Tears, or Chi-
cago, but had the sound of Dream.
The concert was without doubt
the most successful event to take
place here all year. Just walking on
campus during these two days of
spring week-end, I found it alive
for the first time for as long as I
can remember.

Omnibus Day
At DVC
A group of students of Delaware
Valley College, in cooperation with
the Admissions Office, have begun
plans to sponsor a program to bring
approximately thirty students from
Philadelphia area high schools to
the college. This program is geared
toward bringing about a better re-
lationship between these schools
and D.V.C.
The main purpose of this pro-
gram is to make these potential
students aware of the opportuni-
ties available to them here. This
program will be held on Wednes-
day, April 14.
Mr. Morelli will speak to the
students between campus tours and
class visitations. In addition to
these activities, the students' after-
noon will be highlighted by the
Delaware Valley - Moravian base-
ball bame at 3:15 p.m.
These plans have come to frui-
tion with the approval of Dr.
Work.

Alcohol
On
Campus
A committee was set up to eval-
uate the idea of having alcohol on
campus. Thomas Brewer and Pete
Bracchi have already done some
research on other colleges which
have a policy that allows alcohol
on campus. If the policy is accept-
ed, students being 21 years of age
or older will be allowed to have
liquor in their rooms. A student
may have as much liquor as he
wants and any type of liquor he
desires. There will be no restric-
tions on the time a student can
have liquor or drink it. Liquor will
be allowed in the dorm rooms only,
not in any public places, like hall-
ways, lounges or on the grounds of
the college. A student 21 years old
may have a roommate under 21
years of age, but if the roommate
is caught drinking, he will be dis-

LIFTS
QUOTAS
The U. S. Navy Recruiting Serv-
ice has announced the removal of
quota limitations for applicants to
the Navy Officer Candidate School,
Newport, Rhode Island.
In recent years only a limited
number of applicants have been
nominated to the Bureau of Naval
Personnel for selection as officer
candidates. "For the immediate fu-
ture", said Commander E. P. Aus-
brooks, Jr., commanding officer of
the Philadelphia Navy Recruiting
District, "all mentally and physic-
ally qualified applicants may be
nominated for selection as officer
candidates leading to a commission
in the Naval Reserve". Selection of
opportunity should be high at least
through May of this year.
College seniors and graduates
should contact their nearest Navy
Recruiter or Officer Programs Offi-
cer at 13 South 13th Street, Phila-
delphia, Penna. Phone 597-4690 for
further information.

(Continued from third column)
ciplined by the state laws and/or
the college.
A poll was taken on students
wanting alcohol on campus; about
75-80? would accept the responsi-
bilities of this policy. They felt this
would show how mature they are.
The rules and restrictions on al-
cohol will be the same as the state
laws on alcohol. The police will
have the right to go through the
hallways of the dorms. They can-
not enter the student's room un-
less they have a search warrant or
if you let them in. Mr. Savage could
enter the room at anytime, and if
he caught someone under 21 drink-
ing he could have the college pun-
ish him or get evidence and have
him arrested. In short the state
would be enforcing the law, and
the college would be enforcing the
behavior of the students.
The policy will first go to the
Student Government and then be
submitted to Mrs. Work, from her
to Doctor Work and finally to the
Board of Trustees. If the policy is
accepted, it could be started this
year on a trial basis. If not this
year, it would go into effect next
fall on a trial basis. A decision
from the Board will not be known
until late April.

the Ram— Editorial Staff
Delaware Valley College
of Science and Agriculture
Doylestown, Pa.
Dear Sirs:
I wish to write to you regarding
two advertisements that appear on
page two of the February 12 issue
of "The Ram". I am referring to
"Drama Guild" and "New York
Abortion Service". I hope you are
getting well paid for these adver-
tisements.
I see on the front page where
Tom Pyle refers to the Abortion
Service advertisement as an inter-
esting topic; a comprehensive edi-
torial or article on the sad situation
of the pregnant coed or unmarried
young woman would indeed be
"interesting", "informative", and
"controversial".
I suggest a "Theater Column"
where plays, movies, and entertain-
ment can be previewed, reviewed
and evaluated.
In regards to the new name for
this student newspaper, I feel that
this should have been the choice
of the student body rather than by
the newspaper staff. This could
have been accomplished through a
survey of the student body, per-
haps by means of a "census form".

Reply To
Salem G. Fine
Dear Mr. Fine N.F.S. '20:
Your suggestion for humor and
quotation columns has some inter-
esting possibilities, and a theater
column is in the developing stage.
The main problem with additional
writing for the Ram is our limited
number of staff members. I could
think of five or ten additions I
would like to make in the news-
paper, but without a larger staff it
is hard to do.
Now, for your information, Mr.
Fine, the newspaper is not receiv-
ing any money at all for the two
letters (advertisements) that you
previously mentioned. Our news-
paper does not take any view, pro
or con, on the morality of abortion..
I do feel that if anyone wishes to
use the service, he should have the
information available to him. In the
future, however, abortion service
information will not be printed in
the newspaper, only because there
is a question as to which services
are reputable.
When you mentioned the Drama
Guild article, you did not explain
your opposition to it. I can draw
only a vague conclusion that you
do not feel "The Amorous Flea" is
the proper type play for college
students to see. If that is the case,
I do not feel any further discussion
on that subject is warranted.
As to the name of the paper,
maybe I did not explain clearly
enough how it was changed. We
held a contest to try to get sugges-
tions for a new name; this allowed
each student an opportunity to
voice his opinion. Through the sug-
gestions, the staff chose the best-
suited name. If you are not satisfied
with the new name, this is under-
standable since you graduated from
the formerly named National Farm
School. As I said before, not every-
one will be satisfied with the name
change, but it has been found al-
most impossible to satisfy every-
body all the time.
Best wishes,
Thomas C. Pyle, D.V.C. 73

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Student Rumblings
To whom it may concern:
It is the opinion of die authors of this
editorial that the new rules governing
the cafeteria are unrealistic. Just what
is going on? Now, you know why the
students have been clamoring for meal
tickets. Yes, we do need some type of
legislation to get at that minority of
students who don't return their travs or
who leave their table a mess, but this is
ridiculous.
Looking at the situation from the stu-
dent's point of view, the cafeteria must
make a bundle off the meals not served
to the students. (For example, no more
than V3 of the students, at most, eat
breakfast in the mornings). How much
does the cafeteria earn on this alone?
And how about week-ends? The campus
is nearly deserted; therefore, it's all the
more food that isn't served, yet has been
paid for by the students. This still doesn't
include a number of students who eat in
town because they can't stomach the
S. O. S.
Something has to be done about the
situation. Its hard to see how the cafe-
teria can limit you on your own food,
food that you've already paid for. For
example, on the extremely few occasions
that hand-dipped ice cream is served,
no one is entitled to more than one scoop.
No one is allowed to take over two small
glasses of juice at a time in the mornings.
It's very seldom, if ever, that we are
allowed seconds on desserts. Now they
have the gall to tell us that we can t
take the likes of sandwiches, fruit juice,
crackers, etc., (the only things that are
readily accessible in plentiful amounts to
the students) back to our rooms. We, the
students, protest this ruling and demand
some action!
Since I rapped a while on the cafe-
teria situation, I might as well ven-
ture an opinion on the open-door pol-
icy. I think that the open-door policy,
as it is, is childish and immature. It re-
flects not on the students, but on the
administration who set it up. You (the
administration) sit up there in your of-
fices and decide that you won't loosen
the policy because you say the students
don't obey the laws as they are now.
The reason for our not obeying the
rules is clear to the students, if not to
the administration. The restrictions are
too antiquated for the times. This open-
door policy is closed-door policy every-
where except for D.V.C. and a few re-
ligious schools. Schools bigger and bet-
ter than ours and schools smaller and not
so much better than ours are willing to
give the students at least this much re-
sponsibility anyway.
It's as simple as this; if the administra-
tion treats us childishly as they are doing
by imposing the open-door regulations,
then we can be expected to act child-
ishly by not fully obeying the rules. Give
us responsibility and well act respon-
sibly!
I won't even start on this room inspec-
tion bit. Yeah, maybe I will. It's ridicu-
lous. We must be the onlv school in the
country that still has this foolishness.
Let's go, administration — get on the
stick.
Signed,
William Rice
Summer School?
Have you seen the new summer ses-
sion class schedule yet? If you have,
you've been dreaming, because it's not
out yet. Why isn't it out yet? Well, that's
the question I've been asking at the eve-
ning and summer school offices since last
December. I haven't been the only one
asking either. After Christmas vacation
and before registration for second sem-
ester, I just knew the schedule would be
out. After all, you must have the sum-
mer schedule so you can plan second
semester courses and an overall plan till
graduation. This is especially true if you
are a transfer student who has difficulty
in scheduling courses anyhow. Well,
there was no schedule then, and now
that it's time to look for that summer
job or choose to go to school, there is
still no schedule. The excuse that it is
the fault of the department heads is not
good enough for me, and that's all the
summer school office can offer. It should
not be good enough for any other Del
Val student interested in summer classes.
If this college wishes to bury that "Farm
School" image, then it better start getting
things done as a real college does.

N.F.S. Is Dead
The Founder's Day Convocation was
held Sunday, March 14, here at D.V.C.
This occasion marked two anniversaries
— the 75th of this institution and the
25th year of Dr. Work's Presidency.
Underlying the extravagant sentimen-
tality of the convocation an important
message was conveyed by more than one
sDeaker. That message was the fact that
D.V.C. is no longer the National Farm
School... "....It's a new school..." This
realization on the part of the speakers
at Founder's Day was a milestone in it-
self; this realization hopefully marks
even another beginning.
Yes, the students, buildings, and many
of the faculty members are pure D.V.C,
but why are some of the administrative
policies still N.F.S.? This administration
tries to run the school in the way it be-
lieves Dr. Krauskopf (the founder)
would if he were alive today — with a
1971 outlook.
If the National Farm School existed
today, the preceding policy would be
fine, but this is not the case. The stu-
dents attending a 1971 N.F.S. would be
different from our existing student body.
Many people recognize the birth of
Delaware Valley College. Too many peo-
ple have missed the fact that the Na-
tional Farm School has died — it is gone.
As much as one may wish to reminisce,
the N.F.S. can be only, at the most, a
fond memory.
It's not good business to run a res-
taurant like a book store, or a barber
shop like a car wash or D.V.C. like
N.F.S.

This is an open invitation ex-
tended to all students and faculty
of D.V.C, inviting you to attend
the regular meetings of the Orna-
mental Horticulture Society. We
believe that our guest speakers will
indeed be of interest to many stu-
dents and staff, including those not
involved in the plant science ma-
jors.
Over the past several months we
have sponsored many well-known
authorities, speaking on many in-
teresting subjects including con-
temporary landscape and environ-
ment, uses of dry plant material,
bonsai culture, and numerous other
topics covering a great variety of
other fascinating subjects.
Meetings are usually scheduled
for the second and fourth Tuesday
of every month, subjects and speak-
ers being announced several days
prior. As is our policy, refreshments
prepared by our own experienced
toxicologist will be served.

The Strange Fruit
- The Gingko -
This tree evolved on Earth long be-
fore man appeared and evidently has not
changed much over the millenia. Its
adaptation, its physiology, its ability to
cope with its environment was genetic-
ally secure millions of years ago. The
apes and humanoids who may have
climbed it were still evolving - — and it
seems likely that the Gingko will survive
another million years — if it can survive
the violent acts of the wanton men, who
will be long gone by then.
The fruit of the Gingko tree is unusual
— it doesn't seem to "spoil" the way other
fruits do. In 1954 I collected some from
the ground — today three of them in a
test tube appear nearly the same as when
first examined. Their odor is more arom-
atic now — less "butyric" than the fresh,
ripe fruit, but there is no gross evidence
of spoilage. One would expect some spe-
cies of mold to find the moist tissue a
nutrient medium. Why don't the fruits
"rot" like any other fruit? Of all the thou-
sands dropped in Gingko Lane I have
never seen one with mold or colonies of
yeast growing on them. Their acidity
might be the reason — it is about half that
of lemon, yet lemons are susceptible to
some molds. The dropped fruit seems to
enter the soil without fermentation or
rotting playing an evident role. Bacteria
must cause the eventual decomposition of
the pulp — the shells of the seeds dry out,
open and must be degraded in the same
way.
In 1955 I steam distilled some of the
pulp to see if there was much volatility
to the odor — it was distinctly butyric
and had a pH of 3.9. It wasn't until 1964
that a little more study was begun. The
distillate of 1955 was titrated and found
to be 0.38% as butyric. About 750 grams
of the fruit were collected and frozen.
When thawed about two weeks later
some of the juice which leaked from the
fruit titrated 0.78% as butyric acid. The
pulp weighed 566 gms and the 137 seeds
weighed 182 gms including the shells.
The pulp contained 26% solids (74%
moisture and volatiles). The shelled seed
contained 47.5% solids or 52.5% mois-
ture. Crude protein from Kjedhahl N x
6.25 on the dried pulp was 5.8% which
calculated to 1.5% on the fresh basis.
The dry seed showed 11.85% crude pro-
tein and 5.68% in the fresh seed. The
endosperm of the seed is loaded with
(Continued next column)
Guess Who?
starch which resembles microscopically
the starch of the legumes. The germ ap-
pears at the center of the seed.
From about 560 gm of wet pulp 200 ml
of Gingko fruit juice was pressed, treated
with Filter Cel and clarified. This juice
had a specific gravity of 1.12 which cor-
responds to a 27.5% sucrose solution, and
a refractive index of 1.3667 which cor-
responds to 21.7% as sucrose. Both of
these are about twice the solids content
of other fruit juices, as sucrose. No at-
tempt was made to ascertain whether
much or most of the solids were in fact
sugars.
Titrations were carried out on a direct
distillate of the Gingko juice ( 50 ml juice
"50 ml water" 1ml cone, sulfuric acid —
5 oml distilled). This showed only 0.18%
volatile acid as butyric. The whole juice
titrated to 2.64% as butyric.
Titration curves of pH vs ml 0.1N base
were run on a butyric acid solution of
2.64% concentration and on the Gingko
juice. They were quite different. The
butyric acid solution showed the fami-
liar weak acid — strong base curve while
the juice showed a slow upward curve.
The solids from the same volume of
juice showed a curve rising faster than
that of the whole juice but leveling off
to near the same end point pH at nearly
the same volume of base added. It ap-
pears that most of the acid present in
the Gingko fruit is "fixed", not volatile.
If the acid is citric or malic, etc. the non-
volatile acid percentage is about three
quarters of what was reported above as
butyric. Chromatography would be use-
ful to identify the acids and sugars pres-
ent. If the volatile acid is butyric it isn't
surprising that the Gingko fruit is so
noticeable — this acid is detectable from
its odor in parts of a part per million.
The apparent resistance of the fruit to
ordinary rotting suggested another ex-
periment at that time. Any fnrit will
nave on their skins hundreds or thou-
sands of organisms— did the" Gingko fruit
picked from the ground have such a
microflora? Macerated fruit from a blend-
er was plated at dilutions of 1-10, 1-1000
and 1-10,000. The plates showed no colo-
nies of any kind. Either there were less
than ten organisms per gram of tissue
or the presence of the tissue in the plate
(at least another 1-10 dilution) sup-
pressed growth of the organisms. A
streak of three cultures was made on
each plate: S. aureus, Pa. aeruginosa
and a Bacillus ( sprorulating ) species.
Only the Bacillus failed to grow on the
1-10 plate. The other two grew on all
three dilutions and the Bacillus grew on
the two higher dilutions.
Maybe the Gingko doesn't have a spe-
cial physiology — my guess is that it does.
Any growing thing that can protect itself
so well from parasites (except "man")
must be something special.

Business Club
Announces Raffle
The Business Club held its an-
nual election of new officers to
replace the outgoing seniors on
Thursday, March 4, 1971. The new
cabinet consists of Al Lehman —
President, Rich Keown — Vice-Pres-
ident, Emedio Ricci — Secretary,
and Jonathan Quick — Treasurer.
We would like to extend our
thanks and congratulations to Don
Chance, Don Sechler, Rich Serwell
and Dominick Cerchio for their
outstanding dedication and per-
formance over this past year.
The new officers are busy pre-
paring their plans for such upcom-
ing events as "A" Day, the Club
Banquet and the annual Spring
Raffle.
This year the club's "A" Day
displays will be located at Segal
Hall. There will be a demonstra-
tion of the Bell Telephone Com-
munication System inside the hall.
While outside, there will be an ex-
hibit of cars, old and new, which
will be correlated to our present
Marketing Research program.
To date the club is in the process
of holding its annual Spring Busi-
ness Raffle. The raffle will consist
of a cash drawing, similar to our
previous one, depending upon how
much money is accumulated. The
drawing will take place on April 2,
1971.
This year the annual club's ban-
quet will be held at the College-
ville Inn. The dinner, which will
be a smorgasbord, is to be held
some time in late April.
The new officers wish to extend
an invitation to any person wishing
to join the Business Club. The
academic standards have been
dropped, and the only requirement
is that the person show an interest
and participate in all the club's
meetings and functions.
Respectfully submitted,
Secretary

Romeo and Juliet
In Verona, Italy
Did Romeo and Juliet really exist?
Students studying in Verona, Italy, this
year under the auspices of the Region-
al Council for International Education
(RCIE) have been pondering that ques-
tion.
Verona, of course, is the site of Shake-
speare's play, and we do know that there
were warring families and that among
them were the Montechi (Montagues)
and the Capelletti (Capulets). Bu< Jas-
torians question whether Romeo and
Juliet were real people and whether the
great love affair took place, even though
the story had a long tradition before
Shakespeare immortalized it.
The Veronese, however, are undaunted
by history. There is a house in Verona
designated "Romeo's house." And there
is a lovely courtyard with a balcony
where Juliet is said to have stood and
mused upon the foolishness of fate at
having, in a name, condemned her love.
And there is a tomb — Juliet's tomb — to
which tens of thousands of people from
all over the world come annually to drop
a tear.
To the Regional Council students at
the Centro Internationale di Studi ( RCIE
in Verona ) who walk the entrancing nar-
row Renaissance streets and sip wine in
the engaging open piazzas of Verona, the
story of Romeo and Juliet comes very
much alive. So does the whole awaken-
ing of Western civilization in which
Verona played a major role.
Students currently freshmen or sopho-
mores who would like to explore now
they can spend a year in Verona should
write to William J. Koenig, RCIE Direc-
tor of Overseas Programs, 1101 Bruce
Hall, University of Pittsburgh, Pitts-
burgh, Pennsylvania 15213.

Handbook On
International
Study for U. S.
Nationals
The Institute of International Educa-
tion announces publication of the fifth
edition of the Handbook on International
Study for U. S. Nationals, a work that
has come to be recognized as the basic
guide in the field. Intended primarily
for the serious graduate or undergraduate
student or the scholar who is interested
in attending a foreign university or spe-
cialized institution with a definite aca-
demic or professional goal in mind, the
Handbook also provides extensive infor-
mation in compact form for faculty ad-
visers, teachers, and other counselors ad-
vising U. S. students about study abroad
and assessing the academic backgrounds
of foreign students.
The Handbook describes the higher
educational systems of 120 countries and
territories and lists all the universities
and other institutions which are recog-
nized within these countries as univer-
sity-level institutions. It also includes se-
lected lists of specialized institutions —
technical schools, art schools, music
schools, etc. — which offer study oppor-
tunities similar to university-level train-
ing in the United States. It provides in-
formation on the language of instruction,
the academic year, major university de-
grees, admission proceedures, costs, hous-
ing, and special programs of interest to
U. S. students.
A period of study abroad is becom-
ing a standard part of the well-rounded
U. S. education, and the number of aca-
demic-year and summer-study programs
sponsored by U. S. colleges and universi-
ties has more than quadrupled in the past
decade. These programs are listed in
separate chapters of the new Handbook,
with current information about the fields
of study offered, enrollment, housing,
costs, scholarships, and application dead-
lines.
An important chapter of the Handbook
lists awards for study and research in
institutions of higher learning abroad.
Information is given on the nature of
each program, eligibility requirements,
financial grants, duration, and the ad-
dress for application. Another chapter
lists various special programs of interest
to students, trainees, and volunteers and
to teachers, university lecturers, and spe-
cialists. These programs mix opportuni-
ties for study and training with others
for voluntary service and employment.
The Institute of International Educa-
tion is a leading private, non-profit
agency in the field of educational and
cultural exchange. Through its New
York headquarters, seven U.S. Regional
Offices, Overseas Offices on four conti-
nents, and representatives in 26 coun-
tries, HE carries on exchange programs
between the U. S. and more than 100
other countries.
The Handbook on International Study
for U. S. Nationals is available from the
Institute of International Education, 809
United Nations Plaza, New York, New
York 10017, for $7.00 a copy. A com-
panion volume, the Handbook on Inter-
national Study for Foreign Nationals will
be published later in 1971.

ACTIVITIES
The four officers and a member
of the local Chapter of the AAUP
attended the annual meeting of the
Pennsylvania Division of the Asso-
ciation in Harrisburg, Pa. on Satur-
day, March 6th. During the annual
conference of the Division of 8,000
members, discussion groups were
concerned with Academic Freedom
and Tenure, the State Colleges and
Collective Bargaining, Women's
Rights in Higher Education and
Faculty Responsibility and Profes-
sional Ethics. The representatives
of the DVC Chapter handed out
copies of its study of the policies
of 39 Pennsylvania colleges and
universities to those in attendance.
The in-depth-study received many
compliments from the enthusiastic
delegates to the conference and
from the Associate Executive Di-
rector of the Washington, D. C. of-
fice and from the President of the
Pennsylvania Division.
The local Chapter of the AAUP
will serve as Co-Hosts at the an-
nual meeting of the American As-
sociation of University Professors
at the University of Pennsylvania
Museum Rotunda on Friday, April
16th and Saturday, April 17th. Rep-
resentatives from colleges and uni-
versities throughout the United
States will attend this annual meet-
ing of the national faculty asso-
ciation of approximately 100,000
members.
Elections of officers of the local
Chapter of the AAUP will be con-
ducted during its May meeting.
Since the Chapter's Constitution
limits its officers to no more than
two consecutive one-year terms in
a specific office, President Peter
Glick, Jr, Vice-President Ronald
Deering, Secretary James Powell,
Treasurer Donald Igelsrud, and
Directors David Blumenfield and
Kenneth Stratton will be ineligible
for re-election to the offices they
now hold. The only current officer
eligible for re-election to his office
is George West, one of the three
directors. The Chapter's Member-
ship and Nominating Committee
will present its slate of nominees
for office during the April meeting.
After other nominations are re-
ceived from the floor during the
May meeting, the election will be
conducted by the Committee with
secret ballots being cast by the
members in attendance.

MAC Champion
Eisenhart Second
by Lou Hegyes
Sophomore George Cummins,
with a 26-4-1 record over the last
four years, became Delaware Val-
ley's first MAC wrestling champion
at the MAC championships held
recently at Swarthmore.
Junior Larry Eisenhart also ad-
vanced to the finals but lost by a
11-3 score.
George Cummins, seeded second
in the 134 pound class became the
champion when he defeated Eliza-
bethtown's Ron Krause by a 8-3 de-
cision.
Krause had Cummins down,
after a scoreless first period, but
Cummins got a stand-up escape
and a lead of 1-0. George then
scored on a takedown and a near
pin to make the score 6-0. Krause
scored on an escape for a 6-1 score
after two periods.
In the third period Krause again
scored on an escape and picked up
another point as Cummins was
charged with stalling.
George iced the decision with
another take down and a final score
of 8-3.
In the 190 lb. final DVC's Larry
Eisenhart was decisively defeated
by Ron Fritts of Wilkes.
Eisenhart defeated second seed-
ed Jim Crop of Ursinus and pinned
third seeded Wayne Goodroe of
Lycoming.
In the team scoring Wi'kes cap-
tured their third consecut'Ve MAC
crown by scoring 116 points. It was
their tenth team title in the past
seventeen years. The Aggies fin-
ished fifth with a total of 24 points.
With the champion and runner-
up in each weight class eligible for
the National championships both
Cummins and Eisenhart travelled
to the Nationals held at North
Dakota State University in Fargo.
The two Aggie wrestlers did not
have the luck that was with them
at Swarthmore as George Cummins
was eliminated in the first round
by Dave Pike of Northern Iowa
University. Cummins was pinned
in 2:39.
Larry Eisenhart, who moved
down to the 177 lb. class, did get
past the preliminaries but was
eliminated in the second round.
Larry defeated Ted Hart of West-
ern Colorado 11-10 but was knock-
ed out of competition by Tom
Corbo of John Carroll University.
Cal Poly retained the team title.

ADD ONE MORE!
Next semester, intramural bowl-
ing will be added to the list of in-
tramural sports in which coeds
shall be permitted to participate.
Under the present guidelines set
by the athletic department, coeds
will be permitted to join the league
only in multiples of four-girl teams.
The purpose is to maintain the
identity of an all male league yet
to accommodate the present coeds
interested in bowling. A mixed
league (fellows and girls on the
same teams), and an all girl league
will be established as the coed par-
ticipation increases.
The reason for maintaining the
present all-male league and creat-
ing an all-female league is to main-
tain competition on a level equal
to intercollegiate bowling.
Any inquiries or suggestions
should be sent me at the post office,
P. O. Box "A".

Lou's Views
by Lou Hegyes
Even though the basketball sea-
son has ended DVC's Don Sechler
is still being honored. The big sen-
ior was recently named to the
ECAC Division II All East team
for the third consecutive year.
Sechler ended the season as the
nation's leading college division
free throw shooter with a .904 per-
centage, and in the MAC, was
the Northern Divisions leading re-
bounder with a 16.6 average and
the fifth leading scorer with 307
points for a 21.9 average. Scran-
ton's Gene Munford lead the
league with a 23.5 average.
Don was also an honorable men-
tion for the 1971 District Small Col-
lege team by the Herb Good Me-
morial Basketball Writers Club and
also an honorable mention on the
Pennsylvania Collegiate Press As-
sociation All State team. The first
team of that poll consisted of Dave
Wohl and Dave Calhoun of Penn,
Howard Porter of Villanova, Jar-
rett Durham of Duquesne and Ken
Durrett of La Salle. Named also as
honorable mentions from the MAC
College Division were Gene Mun-
ford of Scranton, Wally Rice of
PMC, Brian Shively and Mike
O'Rourke of Philadelphia Textile.
Where and when will *:he line
be drawn? Again the people who
divide the university and college
divisions can be thanked. At the
National College Division Wres-
tling championships DVC compet-
ed with colleges many times our
enrollment. Should Wayne State
(23,000), Eastern Michigan (13,-
000), University of Akron (12,000)
and Central Michigan (10,000) be
classified as College Division
schools?

A-Day Events
For 1971
A-Day 1971 will be held May 1 and 2 this year. Through the efforts
of a few individuals, the 23rd edition of this event has been set up to
present our school to the public. The two days serve as a dual purpose:
first, to demonstrate some of the skills and knowledge learned here on
campus and also to provide a means for the clubs at the school to raise
money to meet club expenses for trips, banquets and refreshments when
the clubs entertain guest speakers. The students who work on A-Day
donate their time to support their various clubs. For each hour a club
puts in, it receives an hourly wage based on the total number work hours
put in divided into the net profit. This year another innovation has been
accepted by the committee — girls' work hours will also be counted. This
was installed in hopes of creating more interest among our students.
To add extra spice to this years event, the Equine Club will put on
a demonstration in horsemanship. Many other clubs will present projects
on Ecology. This year, besides garden plants, the Ornamental Horticul-
ture Club will have for sale a wide variety of house plants. The raffle
will consist of a pony or $75 as first prize, a cassette tape recorder as
second prize, and an AM-FM radio as third prize. Tickets will be 50tf
each, 3/$l. Also to help preserve some of the pleasure for future use, a
movie film will be taken.
As A-Day Chairman I want to thank the many people who have
helped to put together this year's event, especially, Mr. Robert Sauer,
our Faculty advisor, whose help has made most of our preparations run
smoothly.
— John A. Furphy, Chairman
Food Industry Club
The Food Industry Club will have a demonstration on the art of
making cheese>and also a presentation on food additives which are ever
present in our foods today.
Dairy Society
The Dairy Society will be selling milk shakes, ice cream and milk.
Also, there will be a milking demonstration in their tent in which five
major Dairy breeds will be represented. The State dairy princess will be
attending, as well as Princesses from Montgomery and Berks counties.
A fitting and showmanship show will be held on Saturday morning.
D. T. A.
The D. T. A. Club will man a career mobile unit supplied by the state
to present occupation opportunities in Agriculture.
Equine Club
The Equine Club will have an exhibit which will consist of a tack
display, feed display and trailer. Both Saturday and Sunday a riding
exhibit will be held. They are also responsible for the Pony raffle which
will be held Sunday afternoon.
Animal Husbandry
The Animal Husbandry Club will present a fitting and showmanship
livestock show (beef, swine, and sheep) on Sunday at noon. Saturday
there will be a livestock judging contest beginning at eight o'clock. There
will also be a display tent that will house exhibits by each class of the
club.
Soil Conservation
The Soil Conservation Club will present a wildlife exhibit. Wildlife
of several species will be on exhibit: pheasants, quail, torn turkeys and
mallard ducks in the fowl line and deer along with fish and mounts of
fish and jars containing fawns at different stages of growth.

Team No. 1
In Nation
Delaware Valley College's soil
judging team ended its third year
of active participation in intercol-
legiate soil judging by returning
from national competition in Tuc-
son, Arizona, with nothing less than
the title of Number One in the
United States in soil judging.
Last October,* DVC won the
right to enter national competition
when the team won second place
in the Northeast Regional Contest
held in Maine. The University of
Maryland beat us out of top posi-
tion by a narrow margin.
However, the experienced DVC
team, after many weeks of study of
Arizona soils and a half-week of
field practice on desert soils in Ari-
zona, proved to be the best in the
nation. The team, composed of
Bruce Baessler, Bill Beers, Bill
Camerer, Ernie Grunow, and Bill
Hanczar, was coached in Arizona
by Mr. Stratton of the Agronomy
Department. During the semester,
Mr. Brown helped prepare the
team for competition.
Two of the team members were

national contest. Bill Hanczar was

Tragedy
Comes To
Student
From D.V.C.
Billy Owens, a Business Admin-
istration major, of the class of 72,
was killed on Friday, April 4, in a
tragic auto accident. Bifiy, driving
his Volkswagen convertible, had
just aiTived home for the semester
break. He unloaded some of his
things and then told his mom that
he thought he'd go into town to do
a little shopping and to get a hair-
cut. There tragedy struck, in that
Billy's mom never saw him alive
again. On his way home, fate
grasped Billy's life. At a curve near
his home, Bill ran into the rear of a
truck, which had stopped in the
road, while the driver of it was
asking directions. He never re-
gained consciousness.
I remember Bill as an easy-going
guy who lived life to the fullest.
Rich Keown recalls an incident
when both he and Bill had worked
all of a Saturday. Rich saved his
money, but Bill had spent all of his
by that evening, saying to Rich,
"You only live once, man".
Billy is survived by his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Owens, and his sis-
ter Linda. I must say Hiut the en-
tire family was exceedingly brave
throughout the ordeal. Though the
accident wasn't Bill's fault, Mrs.
Owens pleaded with us always to
listen to both sides of the story.
"Give the other guy a fair shake".
A congregation of approximately
35 students and members of the
faculty attended services held at
his home in Cambridge, Maryland,
on April 5.
We'll all miss Bill. In Cooke
Hall, his many friends, Amedio
Ricci, Jim Foote, Chris Neilson and
Fred Beach cherish a fonder mem-
ory than most students. They knew
him best. As one student put it,
"He's not dead, it just seems like
he's away".

dividual. These men were given
individual recognition for their
achievement at the awards banquet
in Arizona.
Before returning from Arizona,
the group relaxed and enjoyed the
sights around Tucson, visiting a
desert museum, open-pit copper
mines, the city of Nogales in Mex-
ico, and a deep limestone cave.
The soils team is grateful to the
administration at Delaware Valley
College for its tremendous support.
Because of this support, the team
was able to get in much-needed
practice in Arizona and was well
prepared for the contest.
Official results were as follows:

Agronomy
Club Banquet
Awards night was held on March 25
at the Collegeville Inn during a joint
meeting of the Agronomy and Soil Con-
servation clubs. The awards were based
on scholastic average, participation in
the club and extra-curricular activities.
The outstanding sophomore award in
Agronomy was earned by Dave Kindig.
The Junior award went to Wayne B.
Knerr. Joe Kershner received an award
for being the outstanding Senior from
the American Society of Agronomy.
The guest speaker for the night was
County Agent, Mr. Ellenbuger, for Le-
high County. He graduated from Perm
State with a degree in Agronomy, and
this is his twentieth year working for
Lehigh County. He told us of the prob-
lems in his county which not only relate
to the state of Pennsylvania, but also to
the nation in general. Since taxes are
being raised to an unprecedented level,
the farmer is forced to sell his land in
order to live. The result, the best agri-
cultural land in the U. S., is rapidly
being sold to housing, industry and other
non-agricultural uses. Since there is no
present method of cultivating asphalt,
the country is in a bad way.
The faculty members, Mr. and Mrs.
Stratton, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, and Dr.
Prundeanu, all concluded it was a suc-
cessful night especially after the fine
dinner we all enjoyed.

60 Traveling
On March 31, Dr. Bertlwlds Apiari-
culture class and the Apiarist Society of
Del Val College went on a fietd trip to
see a honey-extraction operation and a
honey-packaging plant. The first stop on
our agenda was at the farm of an Amish-
man, Mr. Fisher, who showed us his
honey - extraction equipment, which is
run completely by hydraulics and steam.
Mr. Fisher and his wife served the al-
ways hungry Aggies some delicious re-
freshments of orange juice and home-
made sticky buns. On the way to the
second destination the Aggie Beekeepers
started to get hungry again, so "Doc"
decided we should stop to eat lunch at
Dutch Haven. After having our fill of
ham and cheese sandwiches we continued
on our way to Dutch Cold Honey Inc.,
Lancaster, Pa. When reaching Dutch
Gold, we were given a tour of the plant
by its president, Mr. Ralph Gamber,
where we were shown how honey is pro-
cessed and packed and how honey
spreads are made. At the end of the day
every one sped back to D.V.C. much
enlightened.

Letter From
The Editor
This is the last issue of the year
for the Ram. If I may, I would
like to look back on this interesting
year, for the college newspaper.
After the first two issues, a prob-
lem came up where the current
editors could no longer remain as
officers on the paper. Since there
was literally no one on the staff
that could become editor, I accept-
ed the position; at that time there
were a total of six staff members. I
did some recruiting and drummed
up an additional 15 members. The
new staff wanted to change the
"image" of the paper; they wanted
to make the paper more interesting
for the students to read. The first
thing we did was to change the
name of the paper. The second was
that we decided to try to accept
any article, as long as it was in
good taste journalistically and had
no libel intended. These are the
same qualifications of any other
professional or college newspaper.
So what was the result? The
paper expressed the views of the
students for the first time in its his-
tory. Now many alumni are going
to say that when they were in col-
lege, their paper spoke the views
of the students, but let me tell you,
I have access to every D.V.C. pub-
lication, and the views of the stu-
dents were not allowed to be ex-
pressed as they are today.
However, we don't express this
free thought without some trouble.
- The administrators have subtly ex-
pressed their dislike for me as an
editor and my staff also. I've also
been told that unlike any other pro-
fessional or college paper, all edi-
torials must be signed by the stu-
dent or person who wrote the
article; hence there can be none of
the common signatures by an in-
terested student, a concerned par-
ent, or anonymous.
The paper has really started up
interest this year throughout our
college community. I've received a
number of letters from alumni. The
results of the alumni are what
would be expected. From about the
class of '59 on down they dislike
our paper, and from about the class
of '60 on up they have said they
liked the paper.
I've received many letters and
comments that ask, "Why do you
allow such an article to be printed
in our college newspaper?' As I
mentioned before, as long as it has
good journalistic taste, and intend-
ed no libel, it will be accepted for
publication. People do not realize
that just because I allow something
to be published doesn't mean I
agree with the article. There is an
article in the paper today that I
completely dsagree with, but ob-
viously that doesn't give me the
right not to publish it.
Well, next year is another year,
I hope.
Best wishes,
Thomas C. Pyle, D.V.C. 73

Congratulations on the name
change of the campus newspaper.
Keep up the good work.
The last visit I made to D.V.C.
was in the early part of this year,
and I was shocked to find that
someone had taken it upon himself
to destroy a long-standing tradition
at the school. I'm referring to
Chinko Lane.
Not too many years ago I was a
freshmen at D.V.C. and I disliked
the treatment I was subjected to by
the upper classmen. The following
year I was one of the upperclass-
men subjecting the freshmen to the
same treatment I received.
How anyone can completely dis-
regard the property of others as to
destroy it intentionally is beyond
mo.
The theme of today's young peo-
ple is "Love" and "Peace". I hope
this is not an example of it!

THE EDITOR
Change
Long
Overdue
One hundred seventy-five of a total of
two hundred students shut down our
college for two days in March, 1938, ac-
cording to a recent article in the Daily
Intelligencer, the local newspaper. The
reason? The dean was too strict. Also
apparent was the fact that such action
proved to be sufficient stimulus for the
Board of Directors to consider student
complaints.
Actions, analogous to those of 1938,
are usually the result of the frustration
of legitimate change. Most other colleges
recognize the mature capabilities of their
students, and change is effected, by stu-
dents, without resorting to drastic meas-
ures.
The fact that this is not a liberal arts
institution is not license for policy makers
here to use outdated educational man-
agement techniques that amount to "pro-
tecting the student from himself". Similar
attitudes, on the part of administrators,
and particularly the Board of Trustees,
have resulted in the pervading atmos-
phere of frustration prevalent among the
student body.
The slightest controversy evokes imme-
diate, ana overwhelming response by the
administration. One wonders why the
policymakers refuse to acknowledge the
fact that healthy controversy is the foun-
dation of healthy change. Over-response
seems to indicate a certain fear, by the
administration, of the student body.
An attempt is made to placate the
students when occasionally we are tossed
a taste of change through our Student
Government. However, these minute
changes are merely scraps; no meaningful
change takes place. This is a mistake on
the part of policymakers because it only
increases student desire for major changes
which, in turn, creates greater frustration.
It is known that desire increases as
the goal is neared, and, in the same
sense, thwarting of the goal increases
frustration. And we are a frustrated lot.
Past experience indicates that there
will be a continuation of outdated poli-
cies, and staunch resistance to progres-
sive changes or concessions for the stu-
dent body.
(Continued on page 4)
They Shoot
Civilians
Don't They?
Was the Army wrong in sentencing
Lt. William Calley to life imprisonment?
I question the audacity of their decision
to "pin only Calley to the wall" when
the atrocities he committed happen every
day in Viet Nam. He was not the only
man to fire on civilians on that particular
day, yet only his hide is sought. It's not
unheard of to see G. I's toss candy among
the Vietnamese children who naturally
scramble for it. But in the ensuing scram-
ble they get blown to bits by the grenade
which follows the candy.
Is it right to kill the civilians? There
are two trends of thought on this matter.
Many people feel that this doesn't hurt
anything because many of the day's
peaceful civilians become that very
night's terrorists. They would just as
soon slit a G. I.'s throat as look at him.
You can't really tell until they try some-
thing, but by then it's too late — because
you or your buddy is dead. But among
these same people arc innocent civilians.
Just like any other race of people, there
are bad ones in the grou^ who ruin it
for everyone. Are they, the innocent, to
be killed too? Imagine f^r a minute a
group of soldiers coming to your town
and killing all the Italians because an
Italian had killed a G. I.
How do you handle a war that isn't
ours, a war which we shouldn't even be
in? It's a war in which those G.I.s who
are lucky enough to make it back are
hardly welcomed gratuitously by this
country. Those G.I.s who joined right
after high school arc catching hell trying
to find jobs. There are no welcome-home
parades as with previous wars. It's I
very different war, in that we seemingly
aren't there to win it. How can you
sav that we are fighting wholeheartedly
when the people in Viet Nam don't even
want us there? American lives are just
being sacrificed while everything that
is trying to be done to end or speed up
the war is either held up by political red
tape or it is at the discretion of our "all-
knowing" president. An added problem
now with the Calley incident will be
that the G.I.'s are going to be very much
aware of what they do, and what they
arc ordered to do.

THEY SHOOT CIVILIANS—
(Continued from page 3)
How does war affect us, the average
citizen? Unless there is someone you
know in it, you probably just read about
the number of casualties reported for
the week and think, "Well, a lot of G.I.'s
died this week". If you know someone
there or someone who has been there, it
means a little more to you. Through their
relaying their fears and experiences you
face quite a shocking aspect of what
really goes on. The most affected are
those to lose loved ones in the war. It's
all too shocking an affair to forget easijy.
There's no end in sight. In fact, there
isn't even a war — Congress forgot to de-
clare it! Just my invagination!

"PEOPLES PEACE TREATY"
A number of college students
and others have requested the
views of the Department of State
on a "Joint Treaty of Peace be-
tween the People of the United
States and the People of South
Viet-Nam and North Viet-Nam"
which is currently being circulated
by the National Student Associa-
tion.
Provisions of "Treaty"
This document:
— demands "immediate and total"
withdrawal of United States
forces from Viet-Nam, but says
nothing about withdrawal of the
North Vietnamese forces from
South Viet-Nam, Laos and Cam-
bodia.
— places the communist side under
no obligation to release the
Americans they hold prisoner,
and requires Hanoi only to "en-
ter discussions" on the question.
— obligates the United States to re-
move the government of South
Viet-Nam, a government which
was constitutionally elected to
office by the people of that coun-
try.
— contains no provision for ending
the fighting in Laos or Cam-
bodia, other than a reiteration of
intention to respect the Geneva
Accords of 1954 and 1962, which
have been violated by North
Viet-Nam ever since.
—contains no provision for interna-
tional supervision of the imple-
mentation of any of its terms.
The provisions of this paper are
in essence the same terms which
have been put forward repeatedly
over the past two years by the com-
munist delegation in Paris. They
have not proved acceptable to any
political group in South Viet-Nam
except the Viet Cong.
What's Blocking Progress
Toward Peace?
The United States and the Re-
public of Viet-Nam have proposed
People's Peace
Treaty
(Continued)
a program for peace which in-
cludes an immediate ceasefire
throughout Indochina under effec-
tive international supervision; with-
drawal of outside forces; a political
settlement in South Viet-Nam
which reflects the existing relation-
ship of political forces; an Indo-
china peace conference; and imme-
diate and unconditional release of
all prisoners of war held by both
sides. Our two governments have
stated that we are prepared to ne-
gotiate seriously on trie basis of
these proposals. At the same time,
we are prepared to discuss the pro-
posals of the communist side as
well, without any preconditions.
The communist response has
been an adamant refusal to engage
in discussions on a peace settle-
ment unless their demands are ac-
cepted in advance. It is this posi-
tion which has blocked any prog-
ress toward peace. It is this posi-
tion which those who want peace
should try to change.
To The Editor:
This letter is intended to bring a
chronic situation to the attention of
the students.
Although our "student newspa-
per" is purported to be uncen-
sored, there seems to be another
form of administrative interference
in existence. Recently contributors
to the paper have been summoned
to the Office of the Dean of Stu-
dents to "review", and "discuss"
the content of their contributions.
More recently two contributions
were deleted entirely from an issue
as a result of administrative "re-
quest".
If that isn't harassment, then
what is?
— Dave Wade
CHANGE— LONG OVERDUE—
(Continued from page 3)
The time for change is ever present;
however, this college was due for change
years ago. Major changes are too long
overdue!
Both administration and students are
aware that the glacid exterior of our col-
lege is not representative of current in-
ternal feelings and attitudes; therefore
why maintain the deception? What meas-
ures are mvessary to effect change in the
stagnant policies of this institution?
— Dave Wade

Friends

Animals
Americans revolted by the massacre of
baby harp seals, the threatened extinc-
tion of whales, and the killing of polar
bears have a golden opportunity to trans-
late their justifiable outrage into direct
action.
An incensed citizenry can strike a tell-
ing blow against the brutabry and need-
less slaughter by writing their representa-
tives in Congress, demanding they vote
for the Harris-Pryor Bill of Rights for
Ocean Mammals.
Jointly sponsored by Sen. Fred R.
Harris (D.-Okla.) and Rep. David Pryor
(D.-Ark.), the Bill would:
1. Make it a criminal offense for any
American to kill seals, poL« Dears,
whales, sea lions, walruses, or any
other ocean mammal,
2. Ban the importation into the United
States of all products from ocean
mammals, thus removing the eco-
nomic incentive for their slaughter,
8. Phase out the seal kill on our Pir-
bilof Islands without abrogating
the current treaty with Japan and
Canada. The United States now
agrees to kill seals on land for
those two countries in exchange
for which they prohibit their na-
tionals from killing seals in the
open waters. The treaty, which ex-
pires in 1976, gives Japan and
Canada the option of accepting
their shares in the annual kill in
dollars — as they have done in past
years; or, if they insist upon the
skins, the Aleuts will kill 18,000
seals for them each year until 1976,
4. Direct the United States State De-
partment to initiate a truly inter-
national treaty in which all coun-
tries agree to stop killing ocean
mammals, both on land and sea.
The Governments of the United States
and Canada must be told by their em-
ployers — the public — that barbarity
which stuns the minds and sickens the
hearts of all decent people must be out-
lawed.
Right now is the time to push for
passage of the Harris-Pryor Bill— which
bans slaughtering the 42,000 seals usually
clubbed for the purported benefit of the
U. S. Treasury — before the next Pribilof
kill begins the end of June. A copy of
the Harris-Pryor Bill may be obtained
by writing Friends of Animals, 11 West

ing in the National Collegiate Individual
Match Came Championships at New
York City on April 24. Over 400 students
from more than 100 colleges and univer-
sities will be participating in this tourna-
ment.
The bowlers attending the tournament
are Bob Abramson, Conrad Adami, Bill
Brjegel, Mike Small, and Bich Tower.
Bob, Conrad, and Bich are veterans from
last year's tournament, the Bider College
Invitational, in which they defeated
Trenton State by over 120 pins in their
three-game match.

O. H. Softball
Team
The O.H. Club decided that they
should get involved in some sport
activity. Since this is spring and
softball is the thing, the O.H. Club
now has a softball team.
Their first game was on Thurs-
day, April 15. They played against
Ulman Hall 1st floor. The game
was ended in the fifth inning with
a score of 48 to 6, Ulman winning.
Their second game was with Dairy
on Tuesday, April 20. The O.H.
team had to forfeit the game be-
cause they had only six players
show up. The other members could
not appear because they were at a
Biology help class. Who knows
what will come up in the following
games?
If you watch one of their games,
you're in for a lot of laughs. At the
first game there was about 40-50
students watching the game and
having a million laughs. Even the
O.H. players were laughing so hard
that tney could not even throw the
ball. One player instead of catch-
ing the ball tnrows his glove at it.
When one of the O.H. players was
at bat, he was so amazed that he
hit the ball, that the bat went fly-
ing and almost knocked the catcher
over.
As you have noticed, I did not
mention any of the players' names
because they don't know who will
be playing at the game until 15
minutes before the game. They run
all over the campus trying to dig up
anyone to play with tnem.
The seven regular players are not
bad at all; they just need a little
more practice. You can say one
good thing for them: they just don't
sit back on their butts and criticize
and make fun of other people do-
ing their best. They put up a good
game, do their best and always
have a good time.
The school should be proud of
any student who goes out and tries
to excel at a sport that he is not
good in, rather than sitting back
and saying "I can't."
P.S. — The catcher looks great in
that chiffon negligee.

Bowling Report
April 29, 1971, will mark the closing
of another successful season of intra-
mural bowling. On the 29th the' Food
Industry Team, who has won the first
half of the season, will bowl against
either the Work Hall or Goldman Hall
team who are presently fighting for first
position in the second half of the sea-
son. As of April 22, the two teams were
one half of a game apart with Work
Hall leading. *
Intramural trophies will be awarded to
members of the teams finishing in first

son. A special trophy for high average
and outstanding achievement in the in-
tramural league will be awarded to Bob
Abramson, the league secretary, who has
averaged 174 and scored over 25 games
over 200, more than any bowler in the
league's history.
The Intramural League wishes to con-
gratulate Bob on these outstanding
achievements because Bob will be trans-
ferring to Elizabethtown College to major
in math. The members of the Intramural
League wish Bob good luck in his en-
deavors, and in his bowling. The mem-

tion can do for the student." The
day will be concluded with a social
for the Alumni in Mandell Hall.
Coeds'
Comments
by Barb Driesens
The first impression of practical-
ly every girl that entered DVC this
semester is the beauty of the cam-
pus. The lake, the orchards, the
whole setting is pretty.
Many feel that the college is not
prepared for girls. They are hope-
ful that dorm facilities will be pro-
vided as soon as possible. The
lounge, which all the girls appre-
ciate, should be expanded to han-
dle future female additions to the
campus. The lounge enables all of
us to really get acquainted and, as
one girl commented, "All of the
girls are so nice! There's not one
that I dislike."
"Wall-to-wall men" was the ans-
wer that amused me when I asked
one coed for her first impression of
DVC, to which another girl replied,
"Not many good-looking ones." So
much for one girl's opinion.
Jill Kaufman was disappointed
because most conversations with
DVC boys never got further than
their saying "hi" and "how are
you?" However, she said recently
that things are looking up. Come
on, guys! -You have few girls on
campus, so make them feel at
home.
STUDENT
GOVERNMENT
NEWS
by John Quinn
New policies for the new year
will be presented to the students
for their opinions before it is pre-
sented to the Administration. The
Student Government is planning
to lessen the load of the Student
Affairs Committee. They also want
to become the center of communi-
cations on campus. Ted Kabat
would take care of posting the
times and places of all meetings
and events. A seminar class will be
set up and be presented by the
faculty in a few weeks. The pur-
pose of this is to get students to
start talking about the problems
the college and students have with
relationship to the community. The
seminar will also deal with the
problems between the student and
the school.
David Farrar, President of the
Student Government, says that
their main problem is that there is
not enough students supporting
them and their activities.
The Student Government meet-
ings are on every Monday night at
7:15 P.M. in the Student Govern-
ment room in Work Hall. There
will be a Student Body meeting
about every two weeks. This is in
order to let students say what they
want and to express their ideas.
This semester there will be assem-
blies on the draft and one on drugs.
The Student Government is giving
a concert on October 23, 1971.

The Alumni Association is look-
ing forward to an especially active
Homecoming weekend during this,
the 75th Anniversary of the Col-
lege. In addition to the traditional
Homecoming activities scheduled
for Friday, October 15 and Satur-
day, October 16, the Alumni Asso-
ciation will hold its annual Alumni
Day on Sunday, October 17.
We look forward to having many
alumni arrive on the campus on
Friday to participate in the pep ral-
ly that evening.
Saturday's activities will include
the Homecoming parade in the
morning, the afternoon football
game, and a gala dinner dance at
the Fiesta Treadway Motor Inn at
the Willow Grove Exchange.
On Sunday morning the Associa-
tion will hold its annual member-
ship meeting. Featured will be the
installation of the Association's of-
ficers-elect and addresses by Dr.
Work and Mr. Linta. Following a
buffet luncheon in the Dining Hall,
the members of the Association will
again assemble, this time to parti-
cipate in an Open Forum-a dis-
cussion session where the alumni
will have an opportunity to offer
suggestions as to how the Alumni
Association can more effectively
meet the needs of the College, stu-
dents at the College, and the mem-
bers of the Association itself.
Each year the alumni look for-
ward to the Homecoming opportu-
nity to renew acquaintances with
the College, its students, and fellow
graduates. It looks like this year's
Homecoming will provide that op-
portunity better than ever before.
To those of you readers who are
among the alumni — be here, plan
to spend the weekend, and partici-
pate.

Mr. Tom Zimmerman was bom on a
third-generation farm in Spencerville,
Ohio. In addition to farming Mr. Zim-
merman's other interests are in the acade-
mic and musical fields. While attending
high school he became a member of the
band and also the F.F.A. chapter and
subsequently was their vice president.
This gave him an opportunity to travel
to the national convention in Kansas City.
Tom completed his undergraduate
work at Ohio State University where he
majored in agronomy and soils. He re-
presented the University's Agronomy
Club at the Agronomy Society's National
Convention as a delegate and partici-
pated in soil judging.
Mr. Zimmerman received his masters
degree in turf management at Penn
State University. He is now completing
work for his Doctorate. His thesis is con-
cerned with evaluating over eighty dif-
ferent soil mixtures for golf greens and
playing fields under actual conditions of
compaction. He tested compacted soils
over a five-year period for percolation,
fertility, porosity, moisture utilization,
and particle stability and has presented
two papers at the Agronomy Society's
National Convention on this work.
Mr. Tom Zimmerman is living in Sou-
derton, Pa. He has been married for four
years, and presently he and his wife are
expecting a child in December. His in-
terests include photography, music, and
a wide array of sports.

Dr. Berril Gold, having been born in
New York City, is not exactly the farm-
boy type, but he does admit to having
grown up with a few trees and grasses
in Van Courtland Park.
Dr. Gold achieved his Bachelors de-
crees from Columbia University where
le majored in geology. He is not one to

>ecame interested in soils and soil con-
servation. He received his Masters de-
gree in soil physics from Rutgers Univer-
sity, where he worked on the problem
of aeration and oxygen diffusion rates in
soil. He also completed his doctoral
thesis at Rutgers which involved the
utilization of sediment from the Dela-
ware River. He used this otherwise wast-
ed soil for improving the physical con-
dition of sandy South Jersey soils.
After his work at Rutgers he was em-
ployed with the Soil Conservation Ser-
vice in Luzerne County in Pennsylvania.
Dr. Gold really gets into playing the
banjo and specializes in traditional
American folk music. He enjoys speed
skating and was the lead-off batter for
his Softball team to the tune of a .691
average. According to Dr. Gold the
Brooklyn Dodgers are alive and well,

Club News
This being our first issue this
year, we are not really overburden-
ed with club news. We do, how-
ever, have a few choice morsels
which may or may not be of inter-
est.
If you've been wondering about
all those people in the apple trees,
they are members of the Hort Club,
which sells its apples from 4 to 5
every afternoon (except Friday)
and Saturday mornings. There's
also talk of bootlegging cider at
home football games.
Also quite busy is the Contem-
porary Club which is forming a
play of some sort, hopefully to be
presented this year. They are in
desperate need of actors and ac-
tresses; therefore, anyone who is
even vaguely interested, please
contact any officer. Or better yet,
join the club.
Speaking of good acting, the
band (yes, freshmen— we have one)
is also looking for recruits. Prospec-
tive members are cordially remind-
ed that it is worth X credit, as is
membership in the Glee Club.
The Photography Club also is
planning a full schedule. Already
being planned are several movies,
lessons in blackroom techniques,
and a field trip.
We have a sad note from the In-
ter-varsity. It seems the administra-
tion felt the club was too "discri-
minatory". It seems it "strongly ad-
vised" them to discontinue their
acting as a formal club. They do,
however, have permission to hold
open discussions. Neumen Club,
look outl
Ski Club to Europe? It is plan-
ned, as is the trip to Colorado or
perhaps Vermont at Easter, not to
mention the short weekend trips.
WAPO to return? Delta Tau Al-
pha Club dead? Science Society,
still remember Lake Archer?
For answers to these and other
puzzling questions, tune in same
column next month.

Attica— America's
Problem
Now that the smoke has cleared
and the blood dried at Attica Pri-
son, it's time for some calm reflec-
tions on the situation. Immediately
after the tragedy alarmists on the
left pressed for the removal of
those "fascist pigs who gunned
down the inmates." Meanwhile,
those on the right wanted a crack-
down on the dirty niggers who
started the thing."
Major prison uprisings are not
new to our society. Local residents
will most notably remember those
at Holmesburg, and Smyrna, Dela-
ware. These uprisings are not iso-
lated incidents, but just another
phase in the plan of our home-
grown revolutionaries to plunge
our country into chaos. Watts -
Kent State - Attica, these are the
rally cries being heard. The at-
tempt to destroy our system of
higher education has failed some-
what, and now the movement has
concentrated on our penal institu-
tions.
Many of today's prisoners are al-
ready violent and dehumanized by
the time they get into prison. They
are steeped in the radicalism of the
Black Panther, S.D.S. and the like.
Yesterday's fire-bombers and draft-
board raiders are today's inmates.
The decay that has crept into
America like a racer is far too wide
a topic to cover here. But, what can
we do about the situation in the
prjsons? We could isolate the small
group of hard-core revolutionaries
from the rest of the prison popula-
tion, or put them in a maximum
security institution. Nearly every-
one agrees that prison conditions
should be improved. However, the
prison at Smyrna was hailed as one
of the most progressive in the coun-
try. Therefore the excuse of bar-
baric prisons is not entirely valid.
It would be a mistake to give the
criminals all the comforts of home.
We did not ask them to commit
crimes. Why should they be re-
warded for doing so?
The root of the problem is the
cancer in our society. Permissive-
ness has allowed Communism to
bring us closer to the end. Educa-
tion, discipline, and patriotism
need to be pumped into our chil-
dren. This will make for fewer
prisoners in the future. In the pri-
sons themselves there must be
more understanding and less bigo-
try on both sides of the bars. Com-
missioner Oswald showed courage
and understanding in negotiating
directly with the rioters. He agreed
to thirty of the thirty-two demands,
all the demands that were meant to
improve conditions. The amnesty
demand was of course impossible
to grant. The rioters wanted only
to save their own skins and be
liberated in some "non-imperialist"
country.
Until the conditions that started
these outbreaks can be relieved,
let's hope that the next time there
will be more understanding on all
sides.

Just a line to congratulate and wish
the college a joyous and fulfilling year.
I regret that I can not attend the festivi-
ties this year at Delaware Valley. I'm
sure those attending the Homecoming
and Parents Day events will have a great
time. I only wish I could attend to help
honor and celebrate Delaware Valleys
75th year.
Since I left school in May of 1970, I
have been indoctorinated into the U. S.
Navy. Having finished number two in
my class at Naval Communications Train-
ing Center in Pensacola, Fla., I am cur-
rently doing an 18 month tour in Ger-
many. I often reflect upon my years at
Del. Val. on all of the good times I had
and the wonderful people I met. Through
that experience at Del. Val. I have been
able to cope with any situation and make
the best of it.
I wish Delaware Valley College a hap-
py Seventy-Fifth Birthday and many
more years of educating and learning.
Hoping to see everyone in 1973.
Sincerely,
W. J. Kimmel
Communications Technician, U.S.N.

Mrs. Jafnes Work,
Administrative Assistant
Delaware Valley College
Doylestown, Pennsylvania 18901
Dear Mrs. Work:
I hope that you do not consider this
correspondence in the same light that
Carl Pfitzenmayer and I often consider-
ed those lengthy diatribes from Salem
Fine. It takes a great deal to move me
to write a letter and to express my feel-
ings on a matter. I want you to know
that I feel very strongly about the qual-
ity of the publications from Delaware
Valley College. The Gleaner has become
something to look forward to under the
tasteful supervision of Rich Polgar and
Gary Miller. They have given the col-
lege a publication of which faculty, ad-
ministration, and most of all, student
body should be proud, and they deserve
the gratitude of all concerned. It, this
past issue, was the best I have ever seen.
I have kept in touch with many of
my classmates, and they share this opin-
ion. They also have expressed a similar
point of view concerning the paper. In
similar point of view, I refer to my own
opinion that the paper has become a
meaningless and disgusting publication.
Perhaps age has mellowed my think-
ing since last May, however. I still be-
lieve that I am somewhat objective. As
you know, I have always vehemently
opposed Administrative "Censorship, '
but I think that too often we label con-
structive guidance with this term. In my
opinion, The Ram could stand some of
this guidance. The paper has far out-
stepped its bounds. It is printing little
more than editorial opinion with out sub-
stantiating its views. I refer to the article
titled "Room Inspection and Such."
While I feel that this individual has the
right to voice his opinion, I seriously
question its appearance on the front
page. Generally, editorials are printed in
a section where they are clearly labeled
as opinion. The phrase in heavy print on
the front page, "Repression does not a
college make , is an irresponsible inuen-
do. The cartoon which also appears on
the front page is in poor taste as well.
Irresponsibility is often a catylist for so
called repression. If a staff of a college
financed publication becomes a gossip
column which lacks objectivity, then
even I must admit that some administra-
tive guidance is necessary.
While I know only too well the amount
of work that goes into layout, are those
responsible for layout so vain that they
warrant their names in heavy print in a
separate box among the advertisements?
The college should endeavor to foster
professionalism in its students, such van-
ity is hardly professional.
I hope that the paper improves. It is
hardly an effective voice of the student
body in its present form. Many people
worked hard to produce an atmosphere
of responsible dialogue between the stu-
dent body and administration. The Fur-
row was an important instrument in
achieving this. The Ram's irresponsible
approach could effectively make all that
effort for naught and break down exist-
ing channels of communication. I hope
that my opinion filters down to the ad-
visory board to the publications.
Thank you for your time and thought-
ful consideration, I remain,
Sincerely,
Quentin Schlieder, '70

This year the Student Govern-
ment seems to be spending quite
a bit of money on the mixers. It
would be great if they were making
money on them, but according to
the Student Government they have
been losing money. In my opinion,
the bands which appeared at the
mixers these past few weeks, with
one exception, weren't the greatest,
this one exception being the group
"Mushroom". They had no excuse
for being poor because they are
performers rather than a rock band.
Of course, it doesn't much matter
how great these bands are because
the student turnout is poor. I think
if Student Government were to
have the mixers every other week,
like in the past years, the student
turnout and quality of the bands
would no doubt improve because
they can't get much worse!
Ginkgo
Lane By-Pass
As you all know, when a student
wants to get to class or from one
building to another, he takes the
shortest route. This route is not al-
ways a paved walkway. I believe
the school should lay out some
money to improve the walkways on
campus.
The "Ginkgo Lane By-Pass" is
just a strip of dirt, running from
Segal Hall through Ginkgo Lane to
Mandell. Since so many students
and teachers use this walkway, I
and many other students feel that
the college should have this paved.
On rainy days this walkway is just
one long strip of mud. Under these
conditions the students walk along-
side the path on the grass. By our
doing this the grass is being killed,
and the path is continuously being
widened. What type of pathway is
this for an Agricultural college to
have on the main part of the cam-
pus?
There is another walkway which
runs from Ulman Hall to Mandell,
which is another dirt path. It is
very convenient for students living
in Ulman, Barness and Cooke Halls
who are going to and from classes
in Mandell. I am sure that the stu-
dents, Dr. Garrett, and Dr. Sten-
son would appreciate a paved walk-
way through this area.
A paved walkway would make
these areas look better, and it
would also be easier on students'
shoes. This is an Agricultural col-
lege, so why can't we have walk-
ways that are both attractive and
convenient to the students?

Campus "A Buzz" With
Apiculture Activity
Since the conclusion of the Spring
semester, many honey-bee-related
activities have taken place on the
D.V.C. Campus.
In June a three day short course
in beekeeping was offered under
the direction of Dr. Berthold.
Twenty-nine persons took the
course, with some coming from as
far away as Virginia, Massachusetts
and New York. Following the short
course, the College hosted a joint
meeting of the Bucks and Mont-
gomery County Bee Associations.
Mr. Milton Strieker, a queen breed-
er, honey producer, and pollinator
from Stockton, N. J., was guest
speaker.
The College's collection of his-
torical bee hives also grew over the
summer. In addition to a straw
skept, Quimbry hives, and standard
hives, a German style hive was pur-
chased and a Polish style hive was
donated to the College by Mr.
Joseph Dymek of Philadelphia.
With the return of the students
this fall, the Apiarist Society is
again in high gear. From their pro-
ceeds from last year's honey sales
and A-Day, they contributed $100
towards the purchase of a bee
blower, which is a device used to
remove bees from the honey comb
before the liquid honey is removed.
This year the Apiarist Society is
again selling honey at home foot-
ball games and at a discount to
faculty, staff, and students on cam-
pus. On October 3 they had their
first field day at which time they
planted a wind break of hemlocks
in the College Apiary. They will
also be having other activities
throughout the year, and anyone
interested should consult the hexa-
gon-shaped signs for information as
to the time, place, and program.

Doylestown, Penna.*
Dear Dr. Work,
It was my opportunity and privilege
to represent Delaware Valley College at
the recent national convention for agri-
cultural college editors. This convention,
which was held at Cocoa Beach, Florida,
was a huge success for all who were able
to attend. THE GLEANER once again
took first place in the categories in which
it was entered, and was praised by many
people for its originality.
This convention was the annual gather-
ing for all of the members of A.A.A.C.E.
This group, the American Association of
Agricultural College Editors, is compris-
ed of six hundred publishers and faculty
members of universities who are respon-
sible for the editing and publication of
college agricultural articles or magazines.
Through the work of one of its members.
Dr. lames F. Evans of the University
of Illinois, the Agricultural Communi-
cators of Tomorrow was founded fn
1970. A.C.T., the student chapter of
A.A.A.C.E., has over twenty member
universities and over one hundred and
twenty student contacts. During the con-
vention of 1971, I had the honor of be-
ing elected National Secretary -Treasurer
of A.C.T.
In my new position as secretary-trea-
surer, some of my duties include tie re-
cruiting of new members for the organ-
ization. Other business iavolc, maintain-

It is the purpose of this letter to ask
your permission for use of the steno-
graphic pool. Many letters will need to
be circulated to all of the members and
surveys will be taken of all the agricul-
tural colleges. The University of Illi-
nois, which was the Alma Mater of last
year's secretary-treasurer, was kind en-
ough to extend financial aid and secre-
tarial assistance. I feel that it would be
nice if Delaware Valley College were
able to continue this program of assist-
ance.

Teacher
Examinations
PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY, Septem-
ber 13. College seniors preparing to
teach school may take the National
Teacher Examinations on any of the four
different test dates announced today by
Educational Testing Service, a nonprofit,
educational organization which prepares
and administers this testing program.
New dates for the testing of prospec-
tive teachers are: November 13, 1971,
and January 29, April 8, and July 15,
1972. The tests will be given at nearly
500 locations throughout the United
States, ETS said.
Results of the National Teacher
Examinations are used by many large
school districts as one of several factors
in the selection of new teachers and by
several states for certification or licensing
of teachers. Some colleges also require
all seniors preparing to teach to take the
examinations. The school systems and
state departments of education which
use the examination results are listed in
an NTE leaflet entitled Score Users
which may be obtained by writing to
ETS.
On each full day of testing, prospec-
tive teachers may take the Common
Examinations which measure their pro-
fessional preparation and general educa-
tional background and a Teaching Area
Examination which measures their mas-
tery of the subject they expect to teach.
Prospective teachers should contact
the school systems in which they seek
employment, or their colleges, for speci-
fic advice on which examinations to take
and on which dates they should be tak-
en.
The Bulletin of Information for Can-
didates contains a list of test centers, and
information about the examinations, as
well as a Registration Form. Copies may
be obtained from college placement of-
ficers, school personnel departments, or
directly from National Teacner Examina-
tions, Box 911, Educational Testing Ser-

KILL IT!
by Bob Palazzi
What has 44 legs, a hairy body,
wings, weighs almost two tons and
is at the mercy of Doc Berthold?
Answer: A fat crippled flying
freaky centipede; not quite, but
close! Actually it's what turned out
to be Del Val's largest cross coun-
try team ever. Twenty-two mem-
bers including captain Ray Funk-
houser compile what looks to be a
Eromising effort this year as the
aggers have already posted three
wins and only 1 loss.
DVC beat Juniata in the opener
then again grabbed number one
honors in a tri-meet with Dickin-
son and Muhlenberg. At home we
fell to Ursinus, 20-36 although
times for the 4.2 mile trek were
still improving.
Top scorers thus far are Tim
Manning - freshman, Bruce Pratt,
Don Murphy, Dave Suerduk -
sophomores and Tim Labaugh, a
junior.
FELLOWSHIPS
NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS FOR
1972-1973
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The National
Research Council has been called upon
again to advise the National Science
Foundation in the selection of candidates
for the Foundation's program of Gradu-
ate Fellowships. Panels of outstanding
scientists appointed by the Research
Council will evaluate applications of can-
didates. Final selection will be made by
the Foundation, with awards to be an-
nounced on March 15, 1972.
The NSF Graduate Fellowship Pro-
gram is being restructured for the 1972-
1973 academic year. Applicants must be
beginning graduate students by the Fall
of 1972, or must not have completed
more than one calendar year of full-time
or part-time graduate study by the Fall
of 1972. Subject to the availability of
funds, new fellowships awarded in the
Spring of 1972 will be for periods of
three years, the second and third years
contingent on certification to the Foun-
dation by the fellowship institution of
the student's satisfactory progress toward
an advanced degree in the sciences.
These fellowships will be awarded for
study or work leading to master's or doc-
toral degrees in the mathematical, phy-
sical, medical, biological, engineering,
and social sciences, and in the history
and philosophy of science. Awards will
not be made in clinical, education, or
business fields, in history or social work,
or for work leading to medical, dental,
law or joint Ph.D. -professional degrees.
All applicants must be citizens of the
United States and will be judged solely
on the basis of ability. The annual
stipend for Graduate Fellows will be
$3,600 for a twelve-month tenure with
no dependency allowances.
Applicants will be required to take
the Graduate Record Examinations de-

achievement. The examinations, adminis-
Intramural
Bowling
by Conrad Adami
Intramural bowling is now the
fastest growing and one of the lar-
gest sports at DVC. Presently in
the league's two divisions (green
and gold) there are a total of 18
four-man teams. There are 10 teams
in the green division and 8 teams
in the gold division.
On September 9 the league be-
gan the 1971-1972 season with the
election of league officers. The lea-
gue president is Conrad Adami;
vice president, Elmer Detriqk; sec-
retary, John Gaskill; and treasurer,
Rich Tower. It was also announced
that the league would strive for two
significant goals this year. The
most important goal is maintaining
a high rate of weekly attendance.
Early indications show that during
the first four weeks, attendance did
not drop below 70. If this rate of
attendance is maintained through-
out the league schedule ending in
April, it will mean that intramural
bowling will probably be the most
active school function on an hourly
participation basis at DVC, and
without doubt the fastest-growing
school activity since Conrad Adami
"took over" control four years ago
when the league consisted of 12
members.
The second major goal this year
is to increase interest in the league.
For example, this year there are
plans for trophies for the first, sec-
ond, and third place teams, per-
sonalized bowling shirts, a banquet
in April plus several other projects
which will be announced in the
Ram.

Drew's Views
by Drew Kotalic
The fact that Delaware Valley
has won its home opener has in-
stilled into this college a school
spirit. The team has looked good,
and has high hopes of attaining a
winning season. After rolling up
358 yards total offense against Al-
bright, this team looks ready for
anyone. Coaches Craver, Drom-
gold, Mitchell, Nice, and Brodheag
should be given a vote of confi-
dence. Homecoming weekend, the
Aggies will host Grove City Col-
lege.
Cross Country has its largest
field this year. Twenty-two mem-
bers have given coach Robert Bert-
hold something to work with. Pre-
liminary action has seeded Fresh-
man, Tim Manning, a future stand-
out at the Valley.
Aggies Can
Win AAAC
By Ed Biddle
How else could a team kick off
its 75th Anniversary season, than
by pulling down a decisive yet sur-
prising upset over visiting Juniata
on September 18th.
Coach H. W. "Bill" Craver, be-
gan his 8th year as head Aggie men-
tor by demonstrating to the bipar-
tisan Aggie crowd what potential
he really possesses this year. It
seems last year's 1-8 team has mol-
ded into what may be a Middle At-
lantic Conference contender.
This year's 71 squad boasts 7
seniors, 9 juniors, 13 sophomores,
and 29 freshmen. They are lead by
co-captains Dan Guers of the of-
fense and Fred Beach of the de-
fense.
From the very kickoff at the out-
set of the game, it was very appar-
ent to the visiting Indians, they
were in for a hard hitting after-
noon.
The Valley combined for 402 net
yards as compared to only 122 for
Juniata. Aggie signal caller, Jim
Foote, was superb having one of
his best college performances ever.
That effort had vaulted him into
the MAC lead in total yards pass-
ing.
In the first quarter Jasper Mea-
dows copped an excellent offensive
drive by bumping in from the one.
Bracchi added the PAT and the
Aggies carried a 7-0 lead going into
the second quarter. With only a
little more than a minute remain-
ing in the first half Richie Glenn
raced 13 yards for the Valley's 13th
point. The PAT attempt failed and
at the half we lead 13-0. In the third
quarter the DVC defense sprung a
few leaks and allowed two Juniata
scores. Bruce Brooks carried in
from the one with the PAT conver-
sion being blocked. The other score
was a two yard jaunt by Dave
Sparks. Sparks also successfully
rambled for the two point conver-
sion. At this point in the game Ju-
niata held the lead for the first time,
14-13. Early in the fourth quarter
the Aggies regained the offensive
touch when Foote hit Dan Guers
with a 15 yard pass, which he
scampered all the way to the Jn-
niata five yard line with. Moments
later Foote followed the wedge
blocking of junior guard, Rich
Keown, on a fourth down and goal
from the one yard line into the end
zone. They also successfully execut-
ed the two point conversion. That
proved to be all the scoring as
DVC went on to nail down a 21-14
decision.
The Valley's second encounter
was on September 25th with Mora-
vian College.
Moravian
Edges
Valley
by Joe Russ
Fumbles and a lack of offensive
fire handed Delaware Valley its
first loss of the season to the hands
of Moravian, 13-7. The Valley was
behind the entire contest, but its
defense remained stubborn and
stopped scoring opportunities all
afternoon. The first three quarters
were marked by Moravian scores.
After fumbling at the 22, Mora-
vian's Dowling tossed a touchdown
pass to Joseph; PAT was good, 7-0
Moravian. In the second quarter,
Moravian registered a 26 yard field
goal. Half time score read 10-0
Moravian. The Valley again fum-
bled on their 29. A fine interception
by Del-Val's Maloney was only
canceled when a Foote pass was
grabbed by Moravian's Gerhard.
This mistake cost the Aggies a 26
yard FG.
The fourth quarter marked some
offensive strength by the Valley.
The Valley marched 80 yards to
paydirt. A Foote to Vuroan TD
pass was the scoring blow. How-
ever, time ran out and the Valley
had lost a heartbreaker.
Aggies
Sting
Albright
by Drew Kotalic
The final 15 seconds proved dis-
asterous for Albright College, and
miraculous for Delaware Valley.
The Aggies actually stole some-
thing and got away with it. Dan
Guers, the Valley's premier speed-
ster, grabbed a Jim Foote aerial
and raced 68 yards in the last sec-
onds to give the Valley a stunning
upset over a dismayed Parent's
Day crowd of 5,000 at Albright. To
recap earlier Glenn got Delaware
Valley started, banging over from
the 5; PAT was good, 7-0 Valley.
In the third quarter following an
interception, Kuhn powered over
from 13 yards out. Orwig slammed
over for the two point conversion
and Albright led it, 8-7. A wild
fourth quarter was started by an in-
terception that cost Del-Val a
touchdown. This time it was Mac
Millian bursting over from the one;
PAT was good, 15-7 Albright. The
Valley erupted for an 8 play, 57-
yard drive— Glenn taking it in from
the one. Foster failed on the two
point conversion. Albright at this
point led 15-13. The door was open-
ed again for the Aggies by a key
manned defense. After absorbing a
poor field position, 98 yards from
paydirt, with 54 seconds left, the
Aggies marched to the 32 where
Guers capped the drive taking a
Foote pass 68 yards to give the Val-
ley a much deserved 20-15 win.

Censorship
In the
RAM
There has been some talk among
the unapathetic students on cam-
pus about the possibility of censor-
ship in the student newspaper. To
those students who have actively
read the paper for the past few
years, you already know this isn't
an unusual topic at D.V.C. Now
there is one more article on cen-
sorship, and I hope it will be the
last, not only for the paper's sake
but also the studeht's.
Last month the co-editors of The
Ram, along with the publication's
committee, met with Mrs. Work.
Among many varied topics of dis-
cussion, censorship and the use of
discretion with editorials were
talked about. It seems that a few
graduates of D.V.C. were disturb-
ed about the "anti-D.V.C." articles
and editorials printed in the paper
last year, and admittedly the cur-
rent administration was disturbed
also.
Mrs. Work didn't want to put
restrictions such as censorship on
the paper, but some suggestions
were made to improve possible con-
troversial articles. It was suggested
that any highly opinionated article
be put under the editorial section
and also have another article to
dispute it in the same issue if it
were possible.
What this means is that if you
have an idea for publication and
you write it in good taste, without
being libelous, it will be printed.
In other words, the next time
you have a complaint about D.V.C,
don't complain about censorship in
The Ram because there will be
none, at least as long as I am editor.

Racial
Harmony At
D VC
On October 1 and again on Octo-
ber 27, seminars were held by he
black students at Delaware Val-
ley College. The purpose of these
meetings was to take preliminary
steps toward formation of an or-
ganization to promote racial equal-
ity and harmony at DVC. The
group lists as its purposes the fol-
lowing:
1) to advance racial harmony.
2) to create interest in DVC
3) to take an active part in
counseling and advising stu-
dents in whatever personal
and/or social problems they
may have.
4) to increase students involve-
ment in community problems
in order to break artificial bar-
riers that are formed through
ignorance and misinterpreta-
tion.
Some of the problems that were
discussed at the meetings were:
mutual trust between the various
races at DVC; the feelings of loyal
friendship as opposed to a loyal
friendship front; the problems and
reservations found in interaction
between the races at mixers, in
class, on campus, or whatever; and
many other topics. The objectives
of these meetings and of this pro-
posed organization is to promote
racial harmony through an aware-
ness and a disbanding of racial
conflicts.
Attendance at the first seminar
was very encouraging, and it
doubled at the second. Views and
opinions were heard from blacks,
whites, student government repre-
sentatives, faculty members, and
administration representatives. One
common observation voiced by all
those in attendance was that there
is a definite awareness of the prob-
lem of race differences on campus,
and that the organization can be a
good beginning toward solving
these problems, if the organization
sticks to its objectives and if there
is cooperation from all sides. If the
organization, now nameless, is
granted a charter by the Board of
Trustees, membership will be com-
prised of "any person who is a mem-
ber of the DVC student body or
faculty and who shows a definite
interest in this organization and its
purpose. . . *.

Government
NEWS
The Student Government had a
fairly good treasury in the past, up
until three weeks aeo, October 23.
The people of Hiroshima think that
they were hit with the biggest
bomb of the century; well they
were evidently not at the Fall Out-
door Concert. The total cost of the
concert was $3,815; the take at
the door was $121, leaving the Stu-
dent Government with a bomb of
$3,694. Kenneth Risser, Student
Government treasurer, reports the
treasury now has about $1,000 left.
The situation has reached such
a critical point that the president,
Dave Farrer was forced to put a
hold on Student Government
money. Any money that has been
committed will be paid. They will
not make any new commitments
until they can evaluate the situa-
tion furtner.
Letters are being sent out to
club and class presidents asking for
donations for a Spring Concert.
The Student Government is hop-
ing for full cooperation from club
and class presidents and for coop-
eration from the students through
their attendance at future concerts
and mixers.

Club News
Due to the overwhelming re-
sponse to our plea for more club
news, we have quite a selection of
choice tidbits which will all, no
doubt, be of interest to someone.
Heading the list this month is
the Science Society. This is one
group who certainly deserves a lot
of credit, for they seem to be the
only club on campus who really
care what the place looks like.
They've resumed their work on
cleaning up Lake Archer and are
also working on a recycling project,
soon to be opened near the Apiary
Center. We strongly suggest that
any students interested in this very
worthwhile project see President
Ira Niedweske. We further sug-
gest that the club make Mr. Heaps,
of the cafeteria, an honorary mem-
ber, for his dedicated work in his
own recycling project.
Also quite busy is the Food In-
dustry Club. They recently were
guests at the General Food Corp.,
down in Dover, Del. They also
hope to attend the Frozen Food
Convention in New York, on Nov.
15. A speaker from Rohm & Haas
Co. is also scheduled to speak soon
to the club on the subject of pesti-
cides in food.
Interested in hunting? If so, the
place for you is in the Vel. Val.
Fish and Game Club. The club is
quite active in the Bucks County
Fish and Game Club which has the
facilities for shooting both large
and small bored rifles, as well as
for trapping. This club is new on
campus, and new members are al-
ways welcome.
Very happy and tired this month
are the members of the Orn. Hort.
Club, who came through at Home-
coming with a float like none ever
seen before at DVC. Unlike the
traditional tissue paper floats, OH
used real flowers to create a mas-
terpiece equalled in beauty only
by their pretty OH queen, Miss
Michele Sweeney, (ten points?)

They are also the club respon-
sible for the artistic corsages sold
at both Homecoming and Parents
Day. Hopefully they will soon be
selling mum plants for Thanksgiv-
ing. Go to it, O.H.!
The Dairy Society is anticipating
an interesting fall, with the up-
coming trip and banquet held in
conjunction with the Block and
Bridle Club at the Collegeville Inn.
The speaker will be Mr. Herman
Perdy of Penn State. Congratula-
tions must be given to the Dairy
Collegiate Judging Team, which
placed third at Columbus, Ohio,
with Bruce Horning placing fourth
overall. Also winning honors was
our college-owned bull, a D.V.C.
Canadian who was shown to all
Pennsylvania after winning at
many local cattle shows.
Rumor has it that Delta Tau Al-
pha, an invitation only club, is
planning to become quite active
this year. The club offers tutoring
in English, Mathematics, Biology,
and, of course, those beloved sub-
jects, Chemistry and Physics. In-
terested persons may contact any
member for more information.
We've been told that WAPO de-
finitely will return, probably be-
fore mis is published. They have
reportedly expanded service to 24
hours a day, and have wired the
campus for even better reception.
The Contemporary Club has de-
cided to do something Contempo-
rary! They gave a formal welcome
to . the foreign students here at
D.V.C. It proved to be an interest-
ing experience for all who attend-
And last but not least is the world
renowned D.V.C. Band. It's inter-
esting to see a group that can work
so well together. Their performance
in the parade was truly unique, as
was their half-time show.
Once again clubs are requested
to submit any club news to the
RAM, preferably before the dead-
line.

'Black
Omnibus
n
There's a new interest group on cam-
pus, which right now goes by the name
of "Black Omnibus." The goals of the
organization are stated very plainly in
their constitution. It's basically to pro-
mote racial harmony on D.V.C.'s cam-
pus. And to quote the posters of their
seminars, "If you don't think there's a
racial problem on campus, then maybe
you should take the time to come to one
of these gatherings."
The Black Omnibus was rejected in an
attempt to be recognized last semester
by the Board of Trustees on the grounds
that, contrary to its very constitution, it
was felt that it would in fact be more a
detriment than an aid in improving ra-
cial relations here.
Thus far, two seminars have been
held. The first's attendance was rather
scrimpy. But the second showed im-
proved interest since as the turnout
nearly doubled. The meetings basically
consisted of the audience airing its
views on some of the problems or events
which occur here.
I've seen a number of reactions to this
organization. Some fear that it's merely
a vehicle to have an all-black organiza-
tion on campus. Others think this means
the intrusion of outside agitators. But
those who have come out and partici-
pated have found something quite dif-
ferent. If you really want to find out
for yourself, give up an hour of prime
T.V., or study time, and make the next
meeting.

In a book entitled "Hitchhiker's Hand-
book," author Tom Grimm gives hints
on how to hitch your way cross-country,
cross-town or just cross-street. With his
suggestions, Grimm has changed hitch-
hiking from just another all-thumbs mode
of getting a lift into an art form.
Here are some of his suggestions:
Always smile and look pleasant.
Work on a driver's guilt feelings. "If
a hitchhiker looks unclean and danger-
ous, the driver's conscience doesn't
bother him much."
Look the driver in the eye. "Eye-to-
eye contact makes him feel uneasy about
driving past you."
Use a designation sign instead of your
thumb. Grimm says this attracts atten-
tion and gives the driver some informa-
tion. He also suggests writing "Help"
or "I Give Green Stamps" on your sign
or just holding it upside down.
Other Grimm hints include using a
huge, fake rubber thumb to attract at-
tention, traveling with a guy for protec-
tion if you're a girl, and having Thank
You cards printed with your name and
address engraved on them.

It is easy for Jewish students to pass
as white students. It is easy for Polish
students to pass as whites. Chinese stu-
dents have a little more difficulty, but
the color of their skin also classifies them
as white. However, when it comes to
the black students, there is a great deal
of difficulty in trying to be white. Some
may try to bleach their skin so that they
eventually will begin to look white, and
others try to adopt the white culture
and ways of "the whites. Then, there are
those black students who are proud of
themselves and are happy to oe what
they are. If you are black trying to be
white or black being black the fact re-
mains that you can't infiltrate the whites
if for no other reason than because of the
color of your skin.
The administration of Delaware Val-
ley College says that there is no racial
strife on its campus. It is as apparent as
the difference between night and day.
The fact that people dont look alike,
act alike, or talk alike, causes hostility
towards the foreigners (Foreign to the
majority). It is this reason why we are
trying to form a certain group at this
college campus.
The proposed name of the group is
"Black Omnibus". (If you dont know
what Omnibus means look it up). The
purpose of the group is racial harmony.
In attempting to accomplish its goal,
things like descent, learned behaviors,
inherent behaviors, sublanguages, and
slangs, will be discussed and defined in
order to create better communications
and understandings among the groups.
The students are quite aware of the
fact that an organization of this sort is
needed. The administration is becoming
aware of the fact that an organization
is needed. Maybe one day Delaware Val-
ley will be as heavenly as the adminis-
tration makes it. This is evident by the
attendance of the administration at these
different meetings.

Getting To Know You
Delaware Valley College is fortunate
this year to have a group of girls on
campus that are tremendously interest-
ed in stirring up and demonstrating
school spirit. They are none other than
the cheerleaders. Altogether there are
seven girls on the cheerleading squad
at the present time, with practices being
held since November 1st for the purpose
of adding another regular squad member
and two alternates. This will bring the
squad to a total of eight regular mem-
bers and two substitutes. The tryouts for
the three additional positions will be the
Monday before Thanksgiving vacation
begins. Anyone interested in becoming a
new member must attend the practices in
order to learn the skills needed.
Sophomore Debbie Yomer from War-
rington, Pennsylvania, is the Captain of
the 1971-1972 cheerleading squad. She
graduated from Central Bucks West
High School after her senior year but
had three years at Philadelphia High
School for Girls. Her major course of
study is Chemistry but she manages to
squeeze in time for membership in the
Rifle Club and time for managing and
scorekeeping for the baseball team. Ob-
viously Det>bie is very interested in
sports, but she also claims interest in
cooking and animals. The presence of
cheerleaders this year is partially due to
Debbie's interest since only she and one
other girl have returned from last year's
squad. Her only wish now is that more
students would demonstrate an interest
in DVC athletic events since attendance
and enthusiasm can sometimes be the
difference between a winning and los-
ing team. Debbie is also intereste i in re-
cruiting enough male students to even-
tually lead to the addition of tniXe cheer-
leaders to the squad.
The second returning member from
last year is Carol Finnie from Holicong,
Pennsylvania. Carol graduated <rom Cen-
tral Bucks East High School and is in
her sophomore year as a Biology major.
Her other extracurricular activities in-
clude membership in the Equine Club
at DVC and a private Equine Club. In
the past Carol has ridden in a number
of equine shows for exhibition and com-
petition using her own horse. Carol's
reason for becoming a cheerleader is to
help her meet new people and to de-
monstrate her school spirit.
Marcia Wal, from Huntingdon Val-
ley, Pennsylvania, is a freshman biology
major. She graduated from Gwynedd-
Mercy Academy prior to admission to
DVC. Her reason for being a cheerleader
was to give herself, as a new co-ed at
DVC, the opportunity to meet new
people, to attend all the athletic events,
and to demonstrate school spirit.
Another freshman member of the
cheerleading squad comes from Holland,
Pennsylvania, and is a graduate of Coun-
cil Rock High School. This is Nancy
Coale. She too is a member of the
Equine Club. Nancy's reason for being
a cheerleader is to "help get the school
spirit up to an amount that is at least

Gentlemen:
Mr. Quentin Schlieder wrote in a
letter to President Work printed in
the October 15 issue of The Ram
that recent issues of the newspaper
were "irresponsible," "hardly pro-
fessional," and "lack objectivity"
and that "the paper has become a
meaningless and disgusting publi-
cation." Any of his opinions may be
true or false; I am not concerned
here with that. I am concerned by
his assertion that, because of the
above, "administrative guidance"
or "constructive guidance" is neces-
sary. I will not quibble, as Mr.
Schlieder does, whether this is Cen-
sorship or not. I submit, however,
that whatever it is, it would dan-
gerously weaken the paper.
The functions of a student news-
paper of its very nature are varied
and, at times, contradictory. How-
ever, it must be obvious that the
most important of these functions is
what Mr. Schlieder calls "an effec-
tive voice of the student body." All
the physical news that's fit to print
on a small campus would not even
fill as small a paper as ours; it is
obvious that in a college society
the most important news is what is
going on in the minds of that so-
ciety.
How, therefore, does a college
paper become the voice of the stu-
dent body? It must print all the
mental events possible. Opinions
not presented for publication must
be considered unimportant, no mat-
ter how prevalent they appear to
be. Lay out, wording, ideas, and
viewpoints may all be criticized, as
Mr. Schlieder has done, but they
should never be "guided" away
from their original intent or con-
sidered importance.
Mr. Schlieder seems very upset
over the appearance of a great deal
of editorial opinion without sub-
stantiation. Yet all of his charges
are exactly that ("...the paper has
become a meaningless and disgust-
ing publication." "The phrase ... is
an irresponsible innuendo." "The
cartoon ... is in poor taste."
"... lacks objectivity . ..." "It is
hardly an effective voice of the stu-
dent body ..." "The Rams ir-
responsible approach could effecti-
vely . . . break down existing chan-
nels of communication."). Accord-
ing to his own criteria, therefore,
Mr. Schlieder's analysis of the
paper is as meaningless as he feels
the paper to be. I deny this. Mr.
Schlieder's opinion and the present
students' opinions are all important
and should be printed. It is not Mr.
Schlieder's opinions I find fault »
with, but the fact that he wants his
enforced and others' repressed. Mr.
Schlieder wants his "taste" to pre-
vail over others by force, not argu-
ment.
LETTERS
TO
THE
Consequently, I must repudiate
Mr. Schlieder's charge of irresponsi-
bility. It would be irresponsible for
the paper to ignore or attempt to
change the opinion of any student
who writes something for the
paper, especially on a campus
where so few students bother to
write anything. The major irrespon-
sibility must be charged to Mr.
Schlieder, who would hamstring
the paper by having it contain only
those views which fit some arbi-
trary standards. This would ulti-
mately lead to a paper of trivial re-
porting and three-week-old sports
news.
We've seen it happen before.
Sincerely yours,
Edwin C. Lawrence
Instructor, General Studies
"DVC does not make any allow-
ances for commuters," is one of
many complaints I heard talking to
commuter students.
When rostering students for
classes the administration should
take into consideration the travel-
ing distance of the commuter. Sat-
urday classes shouldn't be rostered
for commuter and working stu-
dents. The curriculum should be
arranged so that all courses would
be given during the five-day week.
Many of the students are forced
to commute because they can't af-
ford the room and board, and the
price of eating in the cafeteria. A
good solution to the high price of
eating in the cafeteria is vending
machines in the student lounge.
The idea of a student lounge
where commuters could eat, relax,
and study would be of great benefit
to the school. The student lounge
would be civilization in the midst
of a jungle, a place where you
could unwind from tedious labs
and lectures that give you writer's
cramp. It would break the mono-
tony of class. But like other ideas
it sounds good on paper. Some-
where from the idea to completion
there has been a flaw. It is time to
straighten out the flaw and get the
idea working.
As you probably know, most of
the vending machines have been re-
moved because of vandalism. No
janitor is available to clean the
lounge, so disorder reigns. A solu-
tion to the problem would be to
close the lounge at the end of the
school day thereby eliminating de-
struction at night by resident stu-
dents.
If the students cleaned up after
eating in the lounge, much of the
disorder could be eliminated. A
janitor could remove the waste cans
once a week. Commuting students
might find DVC more bearable
than it is now if these ideas were
put into practice.
EDITOR
It wasn't too long after I got back
here and school had started before I'd
heard some freshmen complaining about
conditions here at D. V. C. Then I
thought back to two years ago, my fresh-
man year, and I remembered I felt the
same way. Freshman customs at that
time included all of the following:
1. Cheering in the afternoons and for
those who couldn't make the cheer-
ing sessions, there were work hours.
2. Having to pass through Ginkgo Lane
when going to and from all classes
or to the other side of the campus.
3. Room inspections run by the upper-
classmen.
4. Answering to the screwy exclama-
tion of Button Frosh!
5. Having to carry change for a dollar
around or receive a work hour.
If you were here two years ago, you
knew that not only freshman customs
were discouraging if you were a fresh-
man, but everyone felt that something
should be done about the following
things:
1. Having to wear a sport coat to the
evening meal in the dining hall
2. Having a very tiny library
3. Having no student center (Not that
we have one now)
4. Having a tiny parking area for the
students
5. Having poor gym facilities for a
growing school.
Now, just two years later, I stop and
look back and see that this place is
changing. In a very short period of time
they've improved a lot of things here.
Some of these improvements are:
1. WAPO— the initiation of a campus
radio station
2. A new dorm to house the growing
population here
3. A larger student parking lot
4. A snack bar (You honestly can't call
it a Student Center)
5. The addition of two wings to the
library
6. Minimization of freshman customs
7. A new gym
8. The concept of being able to park
cars on campus which aren't covered
by either comprehensive or theft in-
surance policies
9. Phones in the rooms of students who
desire them
10. The mass introduction of girls and
cheerleaders
11. More liberal open door hours
12. Initiation of numerous clubs, inter-
est organizations
13. Relaxing of grooming regulations
So, for you who think it's really bad
here now, you should have been here
before all of this. And for those of you
who still think it stinks, there must be
some legitimate reason for it. I can't put
my finger on it, but don't you agree that
there's still something wrong with a
place where from last year's freshman
class of 36(), only approximately 120 re-
turned this year? D. V. C. has come a
long way, but apparently not far enough.

Freshman class meetings, which
should tend to unite its mem-
bers into one active body, are
turning out to do just the op-
posite. They have been continual
battlegrounds, consisting of has-
sles between officers who realize
the need for dues, and cer-
tain members who fail to realize
that dues are needed before any-
thing can be done as a class. The
officers have gotten together and
have come up with two proposals
which have been immediately shot
down by the class. Unless some-
thing is done soon, the Freshman
class will be inactive for the rest
of the year. If paper airplanes and
silly side comments prevail, the
officers will be forced to make im-
portant decisions without the au-
thorization of the class. Is that any
way to run a class organization?

Talk By
President James Work
To Freshmen
I welcome the members of the Class
of 1975, and their parents, and their
friends.
This year marks the seventy-fifth year
of the existence of your institution, and
the twenty-fifth year of the operation of
the college. We have come a long way.
We are now going through a period
during which many ideologies and
choices are being offered to the student,
a period during which it becomes the
"in ' thing, within some groups on some
campuses, to repudiate the life style of
their elders and set up standards of their
own. We have seen this protest against
the "old" ways come to a head, have
seen the comparatively few confirmed
radicals reach the height of their power,
and our students have come through this
upheaval with a fine record as level-
headed, responsible men and women.
I believe that this is due in great part
to the philosophy of the college, the
principles which guide us, and the ab-
sence of permissiveness, which is the
great wrecker of individuals and insti-
tutions.
There are today certainly many dif-
ferences between the generations.
Where these differences are simply mat-
ters of custom, of style, of procedures, of
political viewpoint, and of behavior
problems, they should not be magnified
to the extent of alienating one group
from the other.
The greater issues, common decency
and respect for the law, respect for the
lxliefs and the property of others, re-
jection of alcohol and drugs, rejection
of obscenity in any form, and the reten-
tion of certain moral values, are the is-
sues upon which we should concentrate.
The college will retain its present stan-
dard in these matters, which are, in
fact, not affected by the passage of time
nor the clamor of the dissident.
By so doing, I am sure we will not
place an undue burden upon anyoiu-
coming here for an education.

Get Involved
The Band and Glee Clubs are
clubs which lack student participa-
tion. Many students look down at
these clubs without knowing the
benefits of them. First of all, mem-
bership in these clubs may raise
one's accumulating average since
membership in each is worth one
half credit per semester. Second,
the student becomes aware of cur-
rent trends in modern music
through active participation. The
student is able to exhibit his skills
while acquiring greater talent
through group participation.
The Band, like the Glee Club,
will accept anyone providing he is
cooperative and eager to learn.
There are many musical instru-
ments which can be played with-
out requiring any musical back-
ground. The Band promotes school
spirit at football and basketball
games. They try to play music
which is pleasing to both young
and old alike.
The Glee Club performs before
many different groups. Many let-
ters are sent to them requesting
them to perform concerts. Trie Glee
Club sings all types of music from
all periods and most of it is select-
ed by the members themselves.
Both of these clubs are involved
in many annual affairs here at
D.V.C. and away at other colleges.
Even if the student has never had
any musical training in either BarM
or Glee Club, he is more than wel-
' come to join. He will surely find it
to be a beneficial and educational
experience.

On Saturday, October 23rd, our
football team traveled to Upsala
College for what I believe was one
of the Aggies' finer moments. Be-
ing a typical Monday morning
quarterback, I question the ability
of the officials as our two quarter-
backs were "wiped out".
I have followed the football team
for several years and have kidded
many players during this time. I
am glad I was there Saturday to
see an Aggie team fight for survival
and earn the respect of everyone
present. It was a shame that the
student body did not take the time
to go to the game to see what a
great football team can do against
seemingly hopeless odds. My con-
gratulations to a football team that
does not understand the meaning of
the words "quit" and "lose".

HOWDY, HOWDY DOODY
As older people revert to their pasts
through No, No, Nannette; Maybe, May-
be, Mae; Sure, Sure, Shirley, and the
rest of those vintage Camp-side memor-
ies, we've been left without a nostalgia
to call our own. Until now, we've had
to live vicariously through our parents'
pasts, as they try to bring it all back
home again.
But now we can go back to those long
weekend hours in front of the TV shout-
ing tee hee at Howdy Doody, Buffalo
Bob, Phineas T. Bluster, Clarabel, Dilly
Dally and the rest of our 195() family
figures.
Because now Buffalo Bob, the Doody-
Cang ringmaster, is making a come back.
We have our very own nostalgia. With
old films of Howdy Doody Shows that
were last seen on the screen more than
ten years ago, 53-year old Bob Smith is
making the rounds of college campuses
with a two-hour presentation that has
long-hairs longing to retreat to their
days of innocence. It all began last year
when University of Pennsylvania stu-
dents wrote to Uncle Bob asking to bor-
row a Howdy Doody kinescope. Since
then, Mr. Smith — Howdy in tow — has
toured more than 60 colleges and has
played full-house gigs at places like the
recently-demised Fillmore East.
It was an innocent nostalgia — where
we lived in a Wonder Bread world, build-
ing strong bodies 12 ways, drinking Oval-
tine and searching for the cream filling
in our Hostess Twinkie lives.
But, like the rest of us, Howdy — the
dummy with brains enough to mutter
only an occasional Cosh, Golly Gee and
Hi glit You Are — has grown up. At 24-

West Side
Story
"West Side Story," a musical di-
rected by Lee R. Yapp, is current-
ly playing at the Bucks County
Playhpuse in New Hope, Pa. It is
the story of the Jets and the Sharks,
who are street gangs. The time is
1956, and the place is the west
side of New York City. "West Side
Story" exposes the American cities
and the struggle for power that is
present in them.
Seeing "West Side Story" is like
making a visit to the not too dis-
tant past, but it is still contempo-
rary. It dramatizes the racial
problems there were in 1956, and
those that are still present now.
Many of the songs in the produc-
tion filled the air waves when we
were younger, and sounded oddly
familiar upon hearing them again.
The musical production numbers
were very polished, with plenty of
movement and even acrobatics.
There were times when the volume
of certain members of the cast did
not seem sufficient to fill the thea-
tre, but this was the exception in-
stead of the norm.
Marcia King, as Maria, and Patti
Karr, as Anita, both gave outstand-
ing performances. They seemed to
be totally absorbed by the excite-
ment in this musical, and this ex-
citement was successfully transmit-
ted to the audience. Some of the
lyrics and lines were too current
to have been in the original produc-
tion and must have been added to
make the play more timely.
years old, Mr. Doody still has his freck-
les intact, his ears outturned and, witb
all strings attached, is ready to lead us
on to a new nostalgia.
Gee Whiz.
For those of you who don't know
how "West Side Story" ends, it will
suffice to say that it is a rush!!! If
you are looking for something to do
this weekend, I strongly suggest
you call 862-2041 and make reser-
vations. It will be a most enjoyable
evening, and this too is the excep-
tion instead of the norm here at
Del Val.
Bucks Co. Playhouse
The contemporary classic "West Side
Story" will play for six weeks at New
Hope's Bucks County Playhouse. It
opens Friday, October 22 at 8:30 P.M.
and plays through November 27.
"West Side Story", a dance drama by
Leonard Bernstein, Stephan Sondheim,
Jerome Robbins and Arthur Laurents
derived from Shakespeare's "Romeo and
Juliet". Taking the plot of unreasoned
prejudice overcome by love, they fashion-
ed a play set in New York's lower West
Side with rival youth gangs replacing
the feuding families, the Montagues and
Capulets, in "Romeo and Juliet". 1957
audiences reacted violently to this total-
ly new musical. Not the traditional hap-
py ending play that then characterized
Broadway, Walter Kerr said of it: "The
radioactive fallout film "West Side
Story" must still be descending on Broad-
way this morning."
Today's audiences are no longer
shocked by "West Side Story", but that
it is relevant in an age of stormy racial
disputes, in an age of young people
striving to let love overcome hate, is in-
disputable.
Paul Barry, artistic director/producer
of the New Jersey Shakespeare Festival
will direct the Bucks County Theatre
Company's production. Mania King and
.Norman Begin will pla the leading
roles. Supporting leads ar«. Dennis Eden-
field, Terry Eno and Connie Denise.
Others in the cast include Robert Cou-
cill, Dennis M. Kitzpatrick, William
Simington, Sam Barton, and Wesley
Eure.
"West Side Story" plays daily at 10:30
A.M., each Friday and Saturday at 8:30
P.M. with some Saturday matinees and
weeknights at 7:30 P.M. performances.

noticeable." What she really likes about
cheerleading is being in a position to
demonstrate to the team members that
some people at Del Val are really back-
ing them, and that there is a lot of fun
in being part of the squad.
A third freshman member of the squad
is Maureen Dwyer. Maureen is a gradu-
ate of Archbishop Wood High School
for Girls and she is majoring in Biology
here. Her other activities include mem-
bership in the Neuman Club and touch
football games between classes. Maureen
likes cheerleading because it gives her
the opportunity to back the teams and
to show the rest of the student body
that their team needs support.
Cathy Thomas from Fairfield, New
Jersey, is another freshman member. A
graduate of West Essex High School,
Cathy is an Agronomy major and parti-
cipates in a number of extracurricular
activities, namely, Agronomy Club,
Equine Club and WAPO radio. Her rea-
sons for liking cheerleading are similar
to everyone elses, demonstration of
school spirit and meeting new people.
Cathy also feels that she appreciates
the hard work which goes on behind the
scenes to produce a good cheering squad.
The final member of the squad at
this time is Ana Simon from Lower Bur-
rell, Pennsylvania. She is the longest
distance from home since her family live
about 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
During the school year Ana boards in
town. A freshman Biology major. Ana is
a graduate of Burrell High School. Her,
extracurricular activities at Del Val in-
clude the Gleaner and the Equine Club.
Ana feels that cheerleading gives her the
opportunity to express her enthusiasm
and school spirit.
All of these girls have been working
diligently five days a week practicing.
Due to their great improvement, the
practices have now been reduced to
three days per week. Each girl has put
a tremendous amount of effort into self-
improvement, as well as, group improve-
ment. Some of them have learned to yell
louder, march with a right and left
foot (instead of two left feet), get higher
off the ground doing cheerleading jumps,
smile and demonstrate more enthusiasm.
Everyone has worked hard, but at the
same time they have enjoyed learning,
improving and demonstrating their skills.
Most of these girls have had very little
if any experience as cheerleaders before
DVC. They also have fun practicing and
cheering as everyone who has observed
them can tell you.
The major problem they have en-
countered, which has proven to l>e the
greatest challenge, is stimulation of de-
monstrative school spirit. They have all
expressed disappointment and frustra-
tion concerning this. It all comes down
to the fact that they frequently feel as
though they are cheering solely as an
exhibition and not as leaders for the
students and fans to support the team.
As one of them said, 'Cheering to a
dead crowd can be extremely depress-
ing." But there are some people begin-
ning to cheer so there is hope. Maybe
this will improve to the point that the
teams will recognize that the student
body is backing them.
IT'S THE RIGHT TIME
UTOPIA U?
GREEN BAY, WIS. - The cab made
its way through the dirty dankly pollut-
ed college town. Tall chimneys emitted
a bad black smog in a city where that
kind of black isn't beautiful.
And then the vehicle pulled in front
of a puddle of dirty water near a slightly
larger puddle of dirty water called Lake
Michigan near a construction site near
an environmental science building. I had
arrived.
"I don't know," said the Green Bay
cab driver. "It's just like any other uni-
versity, I suppose."
At first glance it looks just-like-any-
oJther-university-I-Mippose — with 3,500
students shoving their way to class,
books under arms, girls under arms, long
hair, short hair, linoleumed floors, white
cement walls, bulletin boards announc-
ing the usual bull.
At second glance it looks just like any
other university.
And at third and fourth and fifth . . .
In fact, it's only until you find out
what's going on there (and, more impor-
tant, what isn't) that you discover it's
not just like any other university.
It s the University of Wisconsin at
Green Bay, its acronym being UWGB,
tin- sound one emits upon getting a
moqthful of smog, which is exactly one
of the things this college is dedicated to
remedy.
Dubbed "Survival U," "Ecology IT
and the "University of Involvement,"
UWGB is all of the above. The entire
school has been organized around the
theme of environmental crisis. A lot of
theme. A lot of crisis.
It's the first of its kind. Structured
with a unique semi-structure, it's the
free school au courant, complete with
bio degradable students who study the
solution to pollution, the psychology of
ecology as they bicycle and recycle their
ways through four years of issue-oriented
education.
UWGB, all acronyms aside, is a breath
of fresh air in an otherwise polluted
academic environment. It opened its
doors to students in 1969. And word has
spread. Now, more than two years later,
ecologically minded students from all
over the country flock to this environ-
mental mecca.
But the college itself is polluted with
many undistinguished problems— an 80%
commuter campus, a minor housing
crisis, student apathy (and apathy about
the apathy). But certainly never a com-
plaint about Irrelevant Education.
UWGB is anything but irrelevant — the
answer to any activist's academic re-
form visions. If anything, it just might
l>e too relevant.
A student selects an environmental
problem that "forms the center of his
intellectual interests," according to the
school catalog. The structure is based
on environmental themes rather than
standard disciplines. There are four col-
leges within the University: Environ-
mental Sciences, Community Sciences,
Human Biology and Creative Communi-
cation.
Curriculum includes such subjective
subjects as "Visions of Man," "Ecosys-
tems Analysis," "The Philosophy of
Leisure," independent study programs
that include community communication
and involvement — as well as the old
Standby standards like accounting and
phys. ed. But this university ties them
all together.
"Frankly," says chancellor Frank
Weidner, "we've tried to build an insti-
tution that says the cop-out from society
isn't welcome here. There must be a
feeling of social responsibility — rele-
vance — in ewry area. Let's not pollute
this university with things that lack
meaning."
It is this man who sets the pace. Com-
plete with a simple, folksy charm, Weid-
ner wows students into involvement like
cows into an educationally verdant pas-
ture. But sometimes, as they say, the
pasture is greener on the other side. For
most people UWGB is that greener side.

But for many UWGB students, their
pastures are more gangrene.
"Do I sound bitter?" asked one bitter
coed after she had listed several reasons
why she hated the school — from big
classes to big masses to her disdain for
student apartments. "If there weren't any
classes, I d like it better." But there are
classes. And there are students who like
it better.
One students who does like the school
diagnosed students' problems as such:
"They come here expecting utopia. You
know, this school is supposed to be a
big innovative thing — new, different,
all that. Then they come here and they're
disappointed that it's not Waldcn III.
But they forget that they have as much
a role in making it innovative as the
staff does."
Or, as Karen Weidner — yes, the
chancellor's student daughter — says,
"People think it's all going to be there
when they come. But it's not just going
to come up to your doorstep and buzz."
Her father agrees.
"Thines take a while to implement
fully," Weidner said. "There is no such
thing as a perfect human institution.
And I hope we never have one because
that means we've stopped growing and
changing."
UWGB is growing and changing. But
it isn't a perfect human institution. It's
got its problems. But it also has poten-
tial, which few other institutions have.
It's got potential for change but, more
important, its students have the poten-
tial for changing the world.
At the end of the day, I hopped into
a yellowed Yellow Cab and was on my
way home. I thought I'd try again.
"I don't know much alwut it," this
driver said. "But a college is a college.
Isn't it?"
I turned around to notice a dark trail
of combustion coming from »ne rear of
his cab.

Rated X
College yearbooks yeurh nearly die of
dreariness when thev're issued every
June. It's refreshing to see one that's
not the run of the paper mill — one
without pictures of sorority sisters and
their brothers crammed onto a divan,
quarter-, half- and full-backs in their
varsity drag, and beauty queeas with
shining teeth and pimpleless complex-
ions.
But last June, along came "Gumbo,"
a product of Louisiana State University
and one of the first X-rated yearbooks.
"Gumbo" got itself into producing an
honest representation of campus life.
Maybe she was too honest.
Included in the "book was a photo-
graph of a red, white and blue marijuana
cigarette; a series of satires on such
sanctions as motherhood, and four
photos of nudes taken in art classes,
which changed the book's rating from
R to X.
"Gumbo" was a partial success. Stu-
dents loved the book and, for the first
time in the college's history, "Gumbo"
went into a second printing.
The State Legislature, however,
wasn't so pleased. A resolution of dis-
approval was passed. Said one legisla-
tor, who once attacked the teaching of
Shakespeare in the school system, "I've
never seen more nasty pictures. A stu-
dent cannot show it to his little brothers
and sisters."
And the LSU student-body president
retorted, "Anyone who thinks that book
has pornographic value hasn't seen very
much good pornography."
"Gumbo" follows an inevitable stu-
dent press pattern. Four years ago, cam-
pus papers ran what were labeled "ob-
scene" words, back when the watch-
word, "telling it like it is," was telling
it as it was.
Now it seems that yearbooks have got-
ten in the picture by getting in the pic-
tures of nude bodies, student smoking
habits and other aspects of life on cam-
pus. Maylx' one provocative picture is
worth a thousand four-letter words.

THE AGGIE STORE NEEDS HELP!
In dealing with the precarious situa-
tion of our school store, we plan to ap-
proach it as follows: Part I will deal
with the description of the Delaware
Valley College Student Store as it exists
today, with noted discrepancies in its
operational and managerial aspects; Part
II will follow with prescription, including
suggestions, recommendations, and a
proposed plan which we feel will be
beneficial to the students of Delaware
Valley College.
PART I
Our school store, for those who are
unfamiliar with it, is located in an ob-
scure corner in the basement of Ulman
Hall. The reason why most students are
unaware of its actual presence, is in
fact, its secluded locale. If anyone were
to walk past Ulman Hall, no one would
even know that the store exists in the
building. Even if a student were to ven-
ture down to the basement of Ulman
Hall, he would walk right past the store
thinking that it was a storage room. In
fact this is what we did the first time
we went to the store to get our first look.
It's one thing to find the store, but
it's another thing to find it open. The
present store hours are from 11:00 A.M.-
1:00 P.M., and also from 5:00 P.M.-
7:00 P.M., at which time most students
have gone home, and at closing time the
evening students are just arriving. When
we finally had a free period which coin-
cided with the opening of the store, the
man who we wanted to see, the manager,
was not there, so consequently we had
to come back another day. Upon con-
vening with the manager of this fiasco,
at a recent lunch time, the store had only
one customer in a span of 15 minutes,
and his only need was change for a dol-
lar bill which he was denied unless a
purchase was made. If business was like
that everyday, there would be a grand
total of 16 customers a day wanting
change for 16 one dollar bills. This
seems to be rather ironic due to the fact
that the lunch hours should be the
busiest time. Even if the store were open
just one additional hpur, the probability
of not having a class would increase and
it just might increase the amount of
customers.
We feel that this lack of consumers is
due to the poor organization which is
allowed to occur. Students fail to realize
that a student store even exists, due to
the poor image that has been projected
over the years. Since the store is hurting
for customers you do not turn one away
t'ust because he asks for change. Who
mows he just might on his way out pur-
chase something that catches his eye. It
is quite obvious that the student will not
f[o back to the store, and we are sure his
riends will have heard of the incident
too.
People today are greatly influenced by
advertisements and instincts. Therefore,
in order to interest people, convey a
feeling of confidence in the customer,
which in many cases sets the person in
a buying mood; the outward appearance
of a retail outlet is of the utmost impor-
tance. Since this is the first thing that
people see, a sign of some sort, possibly
a shingle hanging from the doorway giv-
ing direction to the store, would get the
immediate attention of anyone going in-
to the building.
The interior of the store, in our esti-
mation, is perhaps the best example of
poor retail mix in the area. The items
are just scattered about the store. One

thing that we noticed was that writing
paper was on one side and envelopes
were on the other side. It is true that the
store is much too small, but the available
space is used to its greatest disadvantage.
There is more room behind the counter
than there is for the customers. Another
disadvantage is that people like to get a
close look and feel the merchandise be-
fore buying. This is impossible in our
store unless one of the clerks gets the
item for you. Customers want to be in-
dependent. This idea of having the clerks
get everything for you, we are con-
vinced, has lost a lot of sales.
The following chart readily depicts
the price disadvantage which the store
faces. Almost every item can be found
cheaper in a food store or 5 & 10 store.
Since the book store is separate from the
student store, the students would rather
leave the book store and go in town to
buy their school supplies instead of bang-
ing their head on the ceiling going down
the steps into Ulman Hall. This is basi-
cally true for the commuter who really
has no reason to go to the student store
when he can go in town to get his sup-
plies. Also their lack of convenient hours
forces the student into town for his
school supplies. It would be nice to car-
ry around a notebook with DVC's em-
blem on the cover instead of W. T.<
Grants.
PART n
We took our problem to the Ogontz
campus of Penn State hoping to find a
possible solution. After talking with the
store manager, Mr. Martin Nolan, we
found just the answers we were looking
for. After a three hour interview, we
came up with some very good ideas, and
if the school administration is willing to
help, DVC could very well have an ef-
ficient school store by next fall.
The first thing that was suggested was
that interest must be started amongst the
students and faculty to come up with a
package deal to sell to the administra-
tion. Mr. Nolan even offered to help if
the administration would be willing to
get the project off the ground. It would
cost money, but the only way to make
money is to spend it first. One way in
which to raise money is by having the
students themselves contribute, some-
thing like issuing shares of stock and at
the end of their studies, have the capital
investment returned to them. This is just
one way; we are convinced there are
others.
The basic package is to have the stu-
dent store, book store, and student center
combined into one building. This way
the students could buy their books and
supplies in the student store and after-
ward meet their buddies in the vending
machine area to have a Pepsi. The rea-
son for having everything together is to
give the students a convenient place to
go to spend their spare time between
classes, get something to eat, and stop in
the student store for their books and
supplies. It's sort of a one stop shopping
place. Unlike our setup, Penn State's
center was crowded with students when
we arrived to interview Mr. Nolan. The
layout of this student center is on the
following page, and we feel this would
be a good start for our school.
Mr. Nolan suggested some basic facts
and figures which we feel our school
should follow. First off our store should
be run by an outsider who is experienced
in the retail field. Someone who knows
what he is doing will do a much better
job.
As far as the actual layout of the store,
we feel that the layout that follows,
which is a copy of Penn State's, will suit
our store just perfectly. As the students
come into the store there is a book rack
(#48) where they can put their books
before shopping. Along the walls are all
required books. Also next to each text

(Continued from page 6)
are copies of used texts to give the stu-
dent a choice. This also eliminates a used
book store. All along the perimeter; the
shelves, which there are six almost from
floor to ceiling; are all identical which
adds continuity. These shelves are very
flexible in that they can be raised up or
down to serve the needs of various pro-
ducts. Also in the center aisles there are
similar shelves, but they are not as high
as the ones along the perimeter. This
way when the manager is in his office,
he can see everyone in the store because
of these low shelves and also the two
mirrors in the corners. This cuts down
on shoplifting. Underneath the shelves
along the perimeter and the center aisles
are drawers where surplus products are
kept. This saves time repacking products
which sometimes come 48 in a case from
being repacked and stored in the back
room because the extra 4 or 5 could not
fit up on the shelf. We know that it is
very annoying to go into a retail store,
such as a supermarket, and find three
cans of peas mixed in with the canned
corn because the stocker was too lazy
to repack the three cans.
As noted on the previous page is a
list of all the merchandise carried in the
store. Maybe not all these products
would be needed but we feel it is a very
good start. As noted on the chart each
section is numbered and each shelf is
labeled. The numbers are used for in-
ventory purposes. It is much easier to
inventory by section than it is by pro-
ducts. Also the old saying goes, "A place
for everything and everything in its
place." Thus the reason for the tags on
the shelves.
On top of the counter are the items
that are bought on impulse such as pens,
pencils, decals, newspapers, etc. All of
these items are placed near the cash re-
gister which will also cut down on pos-
sible shoplifting. Another good thing is
that when we went into the store, tin-
mood was very relaxing by the soft music
that was playing. The manager had
sneakers in each corner of the store so
the music was heard throughout the
store. Also when we Went into the store,
one of the three women working there
asked if she could assist us. This proce-
dure is done for two reasons. One is to
help the student get the correct textbook
for a desired course. Since Penn State
is only a two year school, half of the
students are new and so the women help
the students get oriented with the store.
This procedure cuts down on students
getting the wrong textbook which cuts
down on the extra paper work involved
with exchanging books. The second rea-
son is to discotvrage shoplifting, which
Mr. Nolan said has not been a problem
mainly because of this procedure. The
student will think twice about shoplift-
ing if someone knows he is in the store.
Another good idea is the set-up of a
temporary checkout station (#47 A) dur-
ing the rush periods at the beginning of
each semester. This gets the students in
and out in a hurry and thus increases
sales instead of discouraging sales be-
cause of long waiting lines. We both
agree that the store should be open from
8:30 - 4:30, which are the hours Penn
State has adopted. Also during the first
few weeks of the semester, the store
should be open at night so the evening
students can purchase their books and
supplies.
In conclusion of our proposed store,
Mr. Nolan gave us some important figur-
es about the store which an experienced
manager should know. First of all the
store should not have more than 75% of
its sales in books because of the 20%
mark-up on the books in order to make
a profit the store should count on 25%
of their sales on the other products which
have a much higher mark-up. At present,
Penn State is operating at 69% of sales
on books and 31% on other items, and
they are making a good profit.

is to have special forms for the profes-
sors and instructors to fill out. On the
form the professor writes down the name
of the text that he is going to use, the
type of text (hard bound or paperback),
the number of texts desired and he must
sign his name. This protects the store
manager. If the professor decides to
change texts or orders too much, the
manager has some recourse. If the pro-
fessor fails to follow his order the man-
ager can go to the administration for
action to be taken.
Profits from the operation of this en-
tire project should be plowed back into
it to improve it for the students. We
feel, that we as students should reap
some benefits since we are the ones who
patronize the project. The average stu-
dent spends $130 a semester for books
and supplies so he is entitled to some-
thing. According to Mr. Nolan the ideal
selling space that we should adopt for
our store is 2500 square feet. This gives
plenty of room for merchandise to be
displayed, and for the students to enjoy
shopping in the store.
We both feel that if enough interest
is generated; the Administration is will-
ing to help; Delaware Valley College
could have a student store next fall.

The Aggies coming off a 1-7 sea-
son, did not only surprise predic-
tions all year, but emphatically left
MAC teams fearful of what to ex-
pect next year. True the Aggies
will lose lettermen this year. Those
lettermen include co-captains, Fred
Beach and Dan Guers; also among
those remembered for outstanding
careers here at Delaware Valley are
Jasper Meadows, Larry Eisenhart,
Frank Arcade, Bill Brightcliffe and
Pete Bracchi.
Cross Country at Delaware Val-
ley has been given a new look.
Coach Berthold's harriers came up
with real results this year. The
team will lose captain Roy Funk-
houser and John McDonough
through graduation. Their record at
8 wins, 4 setbacks gives us a pre-
view of what to expect along that
line of sports next year.
Everything sportswise has pick-
ed up this year. Both football and
cross country teams, have done out-
standing jobs. Basketball and
wrestling now take die front posi-
tion among winter sports here at
the Valley. They'll need your sup-
port.

Finish
4-4
by Drew Kotalic
Delaware Valley was handed a
20-16 loss by the Warriors of Ly-
coming. Their 1971 season came to
a close, but not before plenty of
action took place.
In the first period Roy Petters'
interception set things up for a 28-
yard field goal by Pete Bracchi to
give the Aggies a 3-0 advantage.
After kicking the successful field
goal, the Aggies kicked off only to
recover a Warrior fumble at the 10
yard line. Bruce Noll then tossed a
1 yard touchdown pass to Rich
Koenig; PAT good by Bracchi, 10-0
Aggies.
Second quarter action featured
Aggie defense, and the foot of
Warrior, Porfirio Goncalves. Ly-
coming was stalemated by the Ag-
gies, and had to resort to 32 and
20 yard field goals by the soccer-
style Goncalves to make the half
time score 10-6 Aggies.
The second half featured a scor-
ing strike by Lycoming's Cosslett
to Rosenhoover good for 30 yards
and a Warrior touchdown, giving
the Warrior's a 13-10 lead. Pete
Bracchi continued his field goal
antics knotting the score, 13-13,
with a 29 yard attempt.
Petters' interception set Bracchi
up again, this one from 19 yards
out giving the Aggies their last lead
of the day 16-13.
Lycoming then shocked Aggie
followers when Warrior, Vincent
Joy returned a punt 60 yards giving
Lycoming all it needed to beat the
Aggies 20-18.

14-7
by Drew Kotalic
Plagued by injuries the Aggies
stumbled through their last three
encounters. After absorbiug a heart-
breaking setback to Upsala, the
Aggies bounced back to beat Sus-
quehanna. To recap, first quarter
action saw Irv Miller cap an 80
yard - 13 play drive by diving in
from the one to give the Crusaders
a 7-0 half time cushion.
In the second half, Bruce Noll
connected with Warren Urban for
a neat 25 yard touchdown pass. Af-
ter the Aggies knotted the score,
Noll again found receivers, but the
Aggies spark left them deep in Cru-
sader territory. Midway through
the fourth quarter, Andy Timko re-
turned a punt to the Crusader 40.
Finally the Aggies hit paydirt. Af-
ter Noll found Richie Glenn open
at the 5, Glenn got the call again,
and took it in for a 14-7 lead, that
the Aggies never relinquished. Sus-
quehanna threatened late in the
game, and appeared to have picked
up momentum, however, a key in-
terception by Roy Johnson gave the
Parent's Day crowd a 14-7 Aggie
victory.

/ Wonder
My freshman year at Delaware
Valley College began with great
enthusiasm, meeting new friends
and establishing a new way of life.
The friendliness of the students,
upper and lower classmen, im-
pressed me.
Now I wonder what has hap-
pened to some of them. A restless-
ness has grown among a few; by
this I mean the outbreak of van-
dalism.
First it was the student center,
the breaking of machines and
markings on walls. Now four lamps
and a portrait are missing from
Work Hall lounge.
Today walking down to Lake
Archer, I noticed that the stone
bench was thrown in. These ac-
tions are not the work of children,
or are they, I wonder.
The point, a few are wrecking
the campus for everyone else.
A pleasant closing note: This is
done by only a few, the majority
being kind and friendly.

A Sorority
At D.V.C.?
A meeting was held November
4 to determine whether or not
DVC's coeds would like to start a
chapter of Gamma Sigma Sigma
on campus. Although only a few
girls attended this meeting, efforts
are being made to establish a chap-
ter. During the weekend of Novem-
ber 13, Debbie Yomer and Nancy
Coale attended a regional conven-
tion of the sorority at the Univer-
sity of Delaware in order to gain
more information about the organ-
ization for DVC girls.
Founded in 1952, Gamma Sigma
Sigma performs non-profit charit-
able services for schools and com-
munities. Such services include aid-
ing exchange students, performing
hospital work, and working wrtn
retarded children. Although the
sorority is a worthy organization,
the rather high membership fees
seem to be a discouraging factor in
establishing DVC's first sorority.
Time will tell if there will be
enough support to start a chapter.
While I am on the subject of or-
ganizations, I would like to con-
gratulate the Business Club for
their party held, on December 11.
I hope everyone there enjoyed him-
self as much as Bill, our guests,
and I.

Ecology
and
American Pie
Don McLean is a hard man to pin
down. There are so many sides to this
young poet singer, whose latest release
on United Artists is currently soaring up
the record charts.
A songpoet with two albums to his
credit, he is highly inventive, totally
unique and has been mentioned in the
same breath with James Taylor, Neil
foung and Elton John. And yet he is
like none of them.
When he sings it is about waste and
pollution, Pete Seeger and the Beatles,
Buddy Holly and the Boiling Stones.
His songs apparently express a lot of
the feeling of his generation, for his
latest record, "American Pie," is selling
phenomenally well in every corner of
the country.
"American Pie" is as varied a record
as Don is a person. It begins with a nine-
minute song that bears the title of the
album and is a look at the last ten years
in music, culture and politics. Although
it features a simple, unforgettable
chorus, the verses are filled with images
open to interpretation, and some radio
stations are even running contests to see
who can interpret the song best.
Don will tell you that he doesn't be-
lieve in writing single songs, that his
music runs in patterns, with many songs
linked to make a broad and fresh state-
ment about the way the world is today.
One thing that appears again and
again in Don's work is his deep concern
with ecology. McLean was active in the
struggle for cleaner water and air long
before it became a national fashion, hav-
ing traveled up and down the Hudson
River singing about the message of
ecology. One of the original members of
the anti-pollution sloop, The Clearwater,
Don has also served a term as Hudson
River Troubador, performing over 25
concerts in six short weeks, sometimes
singing forty songs a day.
"We travelled and sang because whole
communities along the Hudson were on
the brink of total destruction due to in-
dustrial pollution, and the people never
knew."
Don has recently completed a public
service TV announcement for the Sierra
Club which is being released nationally.
Great-grandson of one of the first
presidents of the DAR, McLean believes
in taking a strong stand on the issues he
sees as important.
"I was brought up to stand behind
what I believe in. I guess I get to feel-
ing responsible, and having to do some-
thing. Touch upon things, change them,
work them out."
But Don is a complicated character,
and his music shows it. You're just as
likely to find a song about love gone
wrong on one of his records as you are
to find a tune about saving our rivers.
Some see Don McLean as a folk sing-
er, others as a pop singer, but he is
both of those and a songpoet as well.
His lyrics are warm and human and he's
singing about problems and experiences
that touch us all.

STUDENT
GOVERNMENT
NEWS
Members of the Board, Dr.
Work, Administrators, faculty and
students:
As president of the Student Gov-
ernment I feel that I must present
to you some of the problems with
which our current government is
faced. There are increasing num-
bers of students who are becoming
frustrated and apathetic on our
campus. The majority of these stu-
dents will remain as members in
good standing in our student body,
a handful will leave the college,
and there will be few if any who
will protest our conditions. The
student body may appear content
but they are not. Fortunately the
Delaware Valley College student is
above riot and protest; however,
this does not mean they approve of
their situation.
During the fall semester the gov-
ernment stressed communication
with both the student and the ad-
ministrator. We handed very few
recommendations to our adminis-
tration. Because of our communica-
tion efforts, we have found that our
students have certain needs which
are not being fulfilled, anil the gov-
ernment is in the process of mak-
ing recommendations to reflect
those needs.
Presently the student govern-
ment is reviewing the handbook,
and many recommendations will be
forthcoming. The officers of the
government have addressed them-
selves to those problems which are
brought up each year. We have
done this to try and make use of
our experience in these areas and
not to bog the government down
with seemingly impossible situa-
tions. The officers will have recom-
mendations forthcoming also. The
student government would be off
track to expect all of our recom-
mendations to be passed; however,
there are key issues in the eyes of
the student which must be given
every consideration. These issues
include the open door policy, class
attendance, cars for freshmen, our
summer work program, increased
responsibility to our student court,
and augmented communication
with the board of trustees.
All of the above have been
brought to your attention previous-
ly. We realize that some are issues
which deal with social problems as
well as with college regulations.
These are the issues in which the
students hold the greatest interest,
and the policies now governing
those interests can be said to be
one of the reasons for their discon-
tent and frustration. For us to de-
mand a reversal of those policies
would be unreasonable; however,
based upon investigation, student
communication, college policy, ad-
ministration communication, and in
the interest of the college commu-
nity the student government will

Soil
Judging
Team
The Northeastern Regional Collegiate
Soil Judging Contest was held on Satur-
day, October 23, 1971. Hosts were the
Rutgers University Department of Soils
and Crops, and the Rutgers Student Con-
servation Club. The contest is sanctioned
by the American Society of Agronomy.
RESULTS
First — University of Maryland
Second — Cornell University
Third— Delaware Valley College
Fourth — Pennsylvania
Fifth — University of Maine
Sixth — Rutgers University
The top two teams from each regional
contest are entitled to compete in the
National Soil Judging Contest held in
the Spring. Fred Van Doren, Delaware
Valley College senior, placed fifth high-
est individually among the 60-70 contest-
ants. Recognition was given to the top
three colleges and the top ten individuals
at an awards banquet on the evening of
the day of the contest.
Delaware Valley College was well rep-
resented at the contest, sending three
teams of four and two alternates. The
contest was held in the following man-
ner:
1. Four soil pits were judged by each
contestant.
2. The scores of the top three individ-
uals of each team were totalled for
a team score.
3. Colleges were ranked according to
the performance of their highest
scoring team.
4. Individuals were ranked according
to their total score.
The following students from Delaware
Valley College participated in the con-
test:
TEAM 1—
Wayne Kneir— Class of 1972
Allentown, Pa.
William Neilson— Class of 1972
Shavertown, Pa.
Fred Van Doren— Class of 1972
Flemington, N. J.
Thomas Lehman—Class of 1973
Holtwood, Pa.
TEAM 2— (Class of 1973)
George Clippinger, Three Springs, Pa.
David Hafner, Bethlehem, Pa.
Ray Leet, Starrucca, Pa.
Dan Seibert, Muncy, Pa.
TEAM 3— (Class of 1974)
Paul Beers, Ridgefield, Conn.
Harry Cressman, Lansdale, Pa.
Larry Hepner, Wyomissing, Pa.
Donald McAghon, Milford, N. J.
ALTERNATES— (Class of 1974)
Necodemus Adiku, Ho, Ghana
Robert Twaron, Schwenksville, Pa.
Mr. Zimmerman and Dr. Gold should
receive special recognition for their fine
effort as first-year coaches. They spent
much of their free time working in the
field and in the classroom with their
teams. These are two very dedicated men
that we should be proud to have at
D.V.C. The large number of sophomores
and juniors who participated this year
should form a strong nucleus for future
teams.
Delaware Valley College will host the
Northeastern Regional Collegiate Soil
Judging Contest in the fall of 1972. This
will afford an excellent opportunity to
acquaint students and faculty visitors
from universities and colleges through-
out the Northeastern Region with our
College. A well-organized, thoughtfully
planned event with comfortable accom-
modations and good meals will go far
toward leaving a favorable impression
with our guests and help to perpetuate
a truly excellent educational experience.

Soi//e... Souie...
Have you taken a good look
around the cafeteria? Does the eat-
ing area in the cafeteria remind you
of the aftermath of a prison riot?
The reason for this is obvious. Stu-
dents tend to leave all table man-
ners at home. The cafeteria is no
different from a restaurant or even
one's home as far as manners go.
The school cafeteria is no different
and should receive the same con-
sideration. It seems that here at
D.V.C. many of the students think
of the cafeteria as a battle ground
rather than as a dining room. Lack
of respect and pure ignorance are
portrayed by many of the stu-
dents. We can see no basis for the
unjustified actions which take
place in the dining room. In case
some of you aren't aware of what
we're speaking of, let me clue you
in. Many of the students here are
very disrespectful and appear to be
lacking in table manners. Instead
of just sitting back to enjoy a good
meal many feel that meal time is
playtime.
The action starts when one en-
ters the lobby. He is shoved, kick-
ed, and finally booted into line. He
is then herded in, New York sub-
way style, through the dinner line.
On his way through the line he en-
counters many sweating and hard-
working cooks trying to do their
jobs. At times they are irritated by
many of the students but are ma-
ture enough to ignore the majority
of the remarks passed. Once the
student gets at the end of the line
he enters into the main dining room
where he is then bombarded by
rolls, cookies, and assorted para-
phernalia. He then begins to look
for a table but only finds tables
cluttered with dirty trays, plates,
glasses, food, juice, etc. It wouldn't
be too bad if the students just left
their trays neatly on the table. We,
as well as you, know this isn't so.
One can find entire dinners scat-
tered and heaped on one table. If
one looks hard enough he can find
broken dishes and glassware. We
can see no justification for behavior
of this type. It's sad that those stu-
dents who eat a late dinner are
forced to sit at a table in this con-
dition.
What makes it worse is that the
same people who serve the food
have to go clean it up off the tables,
the walls, and the floor. The din-
ing hall staff tries to do their best
to maintain a clean dining hall al-
though many students prefer to eat
in unsanitary conditions. There is
no excuse for behavior of this type
especially when it is forbidden ac-
cording to the student handbook.
On page twenty-seven it states the
following: "Students are expected
to maintain order in the Dining
Room. Any student who does not
meet the standards set by the Col-
lege and the Student Government,
or who interferes in any way with
the efficient operation of the Din-
ing Room, shall lose the privilege
of living on campus." Hopefully
order will be maintained by Stu-
dent Government officers and re-
presentatives before the problems
get too serious. As it stands now
many students leave the cafeteria
with bruises and upset stomachs as
a result of the actions of the many
ill-mannered students in the din-
ing hall. The newspaper will ac-
cept any opinions or suggestions
for the enforcement of set rule in
the student handbook.

make recommendations concerning
those issues. We do not propose to
eliminate college authority or to
resort to protests or apathy. We
propose to satisfy student needs
and maintain free communication;
we propose change but not an-
archism. There must be control in
all college regulation, but control
can be strict or non-existent; both
are unhealthy. The student govern-
ment will attempt to draft recom-
mendations which will contain the
element of control and fairness to
our entire community.
It has been said that the relation-
ship between the student govern-
ment and the college administra-
tion must be a two directional re-
lationship. I agree with that state-
ment and pledge to keep it that
way. I ask you to consider our pro-
posals with all of our students in
mind, not with the fear that some-
thing may go wrong. Remember
the maturity and past conduct of
the Delaware Valley College stu-
dent. At such times when one of
our recommendations is not accept-
able, please explain that which is
objectionable and that which is
sound. I ask you please to provide
the student government v ith a base
to start again, rather than to force
us back into the dark struggling
with the same problems and hand-
ing to you the same recommenda-
tion only reworded. If this much
can be accomplished, we will have
progressed.
A student government must
make progress in the areas of stu-
dent needs. If the government can
not progress, we must consider our
efforts ineffective and we must
dissolve ourselves. I pray that we
never reach that point.

Teachers and
Course
Evaluation
Have you ever had the exper-
ience of taking a course and re-
greeting it for the rest of the term?
Well, a Teacher and Course
Evaluation Program would hope-
fully preVent this from happening
to you again.
The two main reasons why a stu-
dent drops a course is because of
the teacher's attitude toward teach-
ing the class and because of the
material that is required to be
known for the course.
If there were a Teacher and
Course Evaluation Program here at
D.V.C., a student would get a
chart with all the teachers and the
courses they teach listed on it and
stating the percent rating made by
the students the term before. The
rating would be something like Ex-
cellent, Good, Fair, and Poor. A
survey at the end of each term
would be taken of every class, ask-
ing the students several questions
about the teacher and the course.
The results would be given to each
student on the day he registers for
the next term.
This would allow the student to
see what the class before him
thought of the teacher and the
course. The student would be pro-
tected from dropping credits that
he needs or even from failing the
course. No student wants to drop
a course and lose the money for
those credits.
This would not only protect the
student but also the teacher. As of
now. a student has to rely on what
his friends or other students have
to say about a prof and/or his
course. It is not right that a teach-
er's reputation rely on the "Student
Grapevine".
I believe that each teacher should
be evaluated by the Administra-
tion each year, to see if the teacher
is doing his best to make his course
as interesting, stimulating and in-
formative as possible.
If you believe that D.V.C. should
have a Teacher and Course Evalua-
tion Program, and do not want to
get involved, write a note down
and place it under the Publications
door, in Ulman Hall. We would like
to see how the majority of the stu-
dents feel. If we get a large re-
sponse, we will see what we can
do to get the ball rolling . . . and
keep it rolling until it is passed.

On a recent balmy winter eve-
ning the students of D.V.C. were
greeted with a pleasant surprise
when they arrived at the dining
hall for dinner. It was a fitting end
to an unusually spring-like day.
The meal was called a buffet,
and it was great. For the first time
in several years, you could get a
true choice of food instead of the
usual lesser of two evils. The line
was generally shorter than usual,
and moved along much more
quickly than is customary. Not only
tnat, you could even go back for
full portion "seconds" and "thirds"!
This was truly a memorable eve-
ning. Instead of grumbling about
the quality or quantity of the food,
almost every student was smiling
because he was enjoying himself
and filling himself with food.
I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to thank Mr. Heaps and his
staff publicly for a job well done
and to ask him, on behalf of the
students, to have these buffets more
often. Perhaps these buffets could
even replace the traditional, though
outmoded, family-style meal.

Dear Editor:
I would like to use "The Ram" to ex-
press congratulations from myself and
several alumni. We agreed the Mush-
room Concert presented by the sopho-
more class was a great step towards a
college led by students and administra-
tion.
The fine work of the cheerleaders add-
ed to the college atmosphere of home-
coming. The matriculation of coeds into
Del Val life can only indicate a dynamic
growth. The presence of coeds was not
the only surprising addition; the in-
creased involvement of the entire stu-
dent body was indicated by the fine
regalia of floats.
As a current high school teacher, I am
asked about Del Val by many students.
By observing this years growth, I can
urge them to apply to Del Val, a college
definitely moving forward.
Sincerely,

Dear Editor:
I have received the copy of the Ram,
dated November 12, 1971. It reached me
when I was in a reflecting mood. Ram
took me back to April 11, 1909, when I
arrived at the National Farm School. I
remember distinctly walking out of the
small railroad station to the main build-
ing. The street on both sides was lined
with maple trees already in leaf. I'm
wondering whether they are still there.
We had a student paper called the
"Gleaner" to which I occasionally con-
tributed, and since then the desire to
write never left me.
I left the school in August of 1912
and went back to Chicago where I start-
ed to attend a law school. During the
same time, I started writing short stories
and various articles which were publish-
ed where I lived.
I was licensed to practice law in 1916
and stayed in the profession for forty-
three years. A law practice is not con-
ducive to writing stories, so I abandoned
writing. I am now retired, and strange
to say the desire to write came back.
I have written a novel: "The Disen-
chanted Lawyer," published about three
weeks ago by Exposition Press, Inc., of
Jericho, New York. In it, I allude to the
time spent at the National Farm School
by a mythical character called Joseph
Black. He tells of his activities and of
his life at farm school.
I really don't know why I'm telling
you all this. Maybe it's because the arri-
val of Ram awakened within me memor-
ies of the by-gone years.
Just to keep busy, I have completed
my second novel and am contemplating
starting a third.
On page three of Ram, President
James Work, talks to the freshmen.
When I lived at the school, there was a
student named James Work. Is he the
President of your School now? I'm cur-
ious to know. Will you tell me, please?

It seems that before we get to
publish any up-coming events, they
have already come and gone.
Therefore, I believe we can justly
classify the following as "club nos-
talgia' .
It certainly has been a good year
for the ski buffs here at Del. Val.
Due to the lack of local snow, they
had to travel quite a way to get in
some good skiing. As a matter of
fact, over ten of them flew to
Europe during Christmas vacation
and aid a little skiing Jean-Claude
Killy style. They have also planned
trips to both Vermont and the Po-
conos. It's amazing how after all
that traveling around, one member
still has trouble getting out of the
parking lot safely.
This year is undoubtedly looking
up for the shutter bugs on campus.
With the addition of a dehumidifier
to the darkroom, we no longer have
to cope with either damp pictures
or moldy photographers. They are
also pleased to announce the ar-
rival of a new flash unit ( what ever
that is!).
The Food Industry Club met late
last month to discuss a variety of
topics. Among these provocative
subjects were many pertaining to
club trips, including a play, hoc! ay
game, and perhaps a club party.
Members are reminded that A-Day
exhibits should be begur. soon.
As for our friends in the Equine
Club, (that means "horse" if you
are not up on your prestigious lan-
guage ) , they are also quite busy. A
program of guest speakers is
planned. The topics range from
horse breeding to Equine En-
cephalitis. Films on the subject are
shown quite often. They are also
discussing the possibility of a horse
show next fall. As always, new
members are encouraged.
Although the bees aren't very
busy during the winter months,
there is still a lot of buzzing going
on at the Apiary house. The So-
ciety is proud to announce that
their root has been insulated and
equipment repaired. Everyone is
reminded that honey is still for
sale, and may be purchased from
any club member.
The Scuba Club is really begin-
ning to activate their tanks ( as we
say in the swim biz). On February
19 the club will feature a program
of scuba movies and live-equip-
ment display. The cost is $1.50, and
naturally, all are welcome.
The club is soon to sponsor a
raffle, hoping to raise money to buy
its own equipment. A return trip to
Florida is also planned. For more
info see Dave Acton or Bob Web-
ber.
Thanks goes to the many club
reporters who make this column
possible. Clubs are reminded that
any news is better than no news,
and besides, it keeps me off the
streets. So, please, let us know
what's happening. Your coopera-
tion is appreciated.

Quarry
Dive
by Joe Nawoczenski
In its second year of entity the Dela-
ware Valley Scuba Club has increased
to a twenty-five member enrollment. At
this time all members have completed
Y.M.C.A. certification. This course con-
sists of 30 hours; 10 hours in the class-
room and 20 hours spent in the water,
beside this a written final and open
water test is mandatory.
Recently fifteen new divers of the
club completed this requirement, which
for many involved extensive swimming
and physical conditioning. Congratula-
tions go out to the following divers,
namely Joe Lelli, Joe Nawoczenski, Kurt
Zintner, Drew Paxson, Dan Daransky,
Tom Hotaling, Walt Hopkins, Mike Ack-
ley, John Wilsner, Warren Curtin, Bill
Lenz, Glen Doph, Craig Hartman, Dave
Foreman and Bob Wishhusen. Under the
supervision of their instructor Mr. Chuck
Le Kites at the Central Bucks East High
School.
The most important phase of the
course was the open water dive to Rich-
land Quarry near Myerstown, Pa. on
Sunday, December 5, 1971. (On this
date the air temperature hovered
around the 27" mark and the water tem-
perature 38°.) Arriving at ten- in the
morning the group had to change in
cold and cramped dressing quarters.
Donning full wet suits and equipment
each member headed toward the quarry
banks. Diving in pairs with an instructor,
to a depth of fifty feet they had seen
visibility to be very poor. This did not
hamper their enthusiasm. Upon reaching
the bottom each member was given a
personal congratulation. They then went
off in various pairs to explore sites
which consisted of railroad tracks, an old
crane and an overturned milk car that
could be explored from the inside.
This open water dive ended their
Y.M.C.A. course but was only the be-
ginning to a lifetime of new and excit-
ing adventure. Good luck D.V.C., Scuba
Club.

Freshman
Parking
Considered
For the past few weeks, the
Freshman class officers have been
considering a proposition for allow-
ing Freshmen to park their cars on
campus. The idea being consider-
ed at the present time would give
a certain number of students park-
ing privileges during the second
semester only. There would be a
charge of $7.50 for that semester.
Of course, this proposition must go
before the student government and
the administration before it can be
put into effect.
The freshman class officers feel
that any student who has the re-
sponsibility and the sincere desire
to study will do so whether he has
a car available or not. The officers
also believe that the first semester
should be a time of adjustment to
college life and the studying that
goes with it. However, anyone who
does not want to study cannot be
forced to do so by holding back his
driving privileges.
There are, at the present time,
about seventy-five parking spaces
that are not being utilized. Should
the proposition come into effect,
the permits will be given on a first-
come, first-served basis. The Fresh-
man class will be advised as soon
as possible if this should happen.

Dairy & Livestock Judging
Teams Honored at Annual
Science Banquet
The Annual Delaware Valley College
Animal Science Banquet was held Wed-
nesday, December 8, 1971 at the Col-
lcgeville Inn in Collegeville, Pa.
The affair was attended by members
of the College administration, members
of the faculty of Animal and Dairy Hus-
bandry and over one hundred students.
Dr. Tibor Pelle, Chairman of the Divi-
sion of Animal Science served as Mas-
ter of Ceremonies for the dinner which
honored members of the Dairy and Live-
stock Judging Teams. In his opening re-
marks Dr. Pelle emphasized die educa-
tional value of being a member of a
judging team.
Mr. Richard Smith, Coach for the
Dairy Judging Team presented awards
for individual and team achievements.
Members included John Hageman,
Thomas Wakefield, Everett Halstead,
Kenneth Risser, Bruce Horning, Harry
Brokaw and Bradley Wise. The overall
results for the year included a second
place ranking at the Eastern States Ex-
position in Springfield, Massachusetts,
ninth at the Pennsylvania All-American
Show in Harrisburg, ninth place at the
International Contest in Madison, Wis-
consin and third at the National Contest
in Columbus, Ohio.
The program then was turned over to
Mr. Lee Wagner, Coach for the Live-
stock Judging Team, who then presented
awards to individual members for their
accomplishments this year. Members in-
cluded, Ronald Sollenberger, Russell
Angstadt, Richard Osborn, Richard
Smith, Russell Kenny and Richard Leh-
man. Overall results in Livestock were
a second place ranking at Eastern States
Exposition in Springfield, ninth place at
the Keystone International Show in Har-
risburg, ninth place at the Eastern Na-
tional Exposition in Maryland Kid a
twenty-eighth rank at the Intern.! Lional
Livestock Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.
After the presentation of awards Dr.
Pelle called on Professor Ben Morgan
from the Pennsylvania State University
who delivered the main address.
Professor Morgan discussed his recent
tour of New Zealand and Australia and
described the progress being made in
the development of new agricultural
methods. Of particular interest was the
use of pasture grass as the only source of
nutrition in livestock production. To ac-
complish this producers have established
controlled rotation of pasture lands and
in New Zealand the government has
sponsored a program of aerial dispersion
of seed, lime and fertilizer for the pro-
motion of quality pasture lands.
Professor Morgan closed out the eve-
ning mentioning that he was pleased that
so many young people in the audience
had selected a career in agriculture, and
hoped that they would find in their chos-
en field as much fulfillment as he has
enjoyed in his.

Mark Wolfe, 67
Serves In
Philippines With
Peace Corps
Mark Wolfe, class of '67 and his wife
are serving as volunteers in Santiageo,
Isabela in the Philippines. Following
completion of graduate school at Ver-
mont in '69 the Wolfes left for Molokai,
Hawaii, to begin training for their Peace
Corps assignment in the Philippines.
Training tends to be rugged-to select
out those that might have problems ad-
justing to living in a different culture.
The Wolfes spent six to eight hours daily
learning to speak Ilicano - a dialect
spoken only in the northern Luzon area
of the Philippines. Mark said "learning
to speak a foreign language was not that
difficult. There were no tests, assign-
ments or books to pressure me. Language
groups were small - four or five trainees
and a Philippino instructor. We were
like two-year olds learning new sounds
and repeating a thousand times after the
instructor." In addition to language each
day Mark had culture and agriculture
training. Agriculture training consisted of
learning about soils, plants, irrigation,
diseases and the overall agriculture
planning for the Philippines. Margie had
training in public health and nutrition.
Following Molokai, the Wolfes went to
Bayambang, Philippines to complete
training. This was a tough introduction
to prepare them for the next two years;
not all of the memories were pleasant.
At one point Margie had a six-day
case of food poisoning and Mark came
down with a case of ascaris (round
worms). After they combated the dis-
comforts of both, Mark wrote, "Those
are the breaks and we are both cured
and feeling pretty good." There were
other discouragements also - "Motiva-
tion is running low as is morale. We are
doing pretty good but some couples
have left as was expected. Time will
tell".
Time did tell and in June '70 Mark
and Margie were sworn in as Peace
Corps volunteers and were soon off to
the site. Directions to Santiageo would
vex the most ardent traveler. Mark sent
directions home, "To get to our site you
have to take the ferry across the Cagay-
an River, which takes about an hour.
Then ride west for an hour and reach
Roxas, the main town. Out of Roxan go
toward the mountains and cross another
river. If the water is low you can ford
by jeep but if it is high, a boat is the
only way." And then home . . .
In the community the Wolfes built a
bamboo hut raised on stilts. The eleva-
tion allows for storage space and also so
the wind can come up through the bam-
boo slat floor for coolness. The hut has
a porch, living room, bedroom, and sort
of bathroom. The toilet is a bowl with
a trap under it and is big enough to
slosh a pail of water through it. "Now
if we only had a roof on the bathroom,"
he wrote, "as rainy nights are hell."
Both the roof and walls have a tendency
to leak in heavy rain but a quick sheet
and blanket cover-up keep them as dry
as possible.
They use Coleman kerosene lamps for
light, and water is kept in earthen jugs.
Cooking is done with bottled gas since
it is cheaper than heating with wood.
All clothes are hand-washed at the
pump.
For a bed, the Wolfes are sleeping on
a frame with bamboo slats for box
springs and a mattress on top of that.
Mark has placed window boxes out-
side the hut for his home garden where
he grows vegetables. Cardens are a
problem since chickens, pigs, goats,
water buffalo and kids run without re-
straint.
In the beginning, food was a real
problem to the young couple. It was dif-
ficult to buy foods they had never seen,
never mind tasted. For their first home
meal Mark killed and dressed a chicken.
They offer a recipe of mackeral stew and
fried mudfish to any folk brave, and also
specialities such as frogs and caribou
meat. They were also privileged in a
dog picnic — an honor as dog is a real
delicacy over there.
Pork is frequently on the menu as it
is fresh every day and fish is fresh twice
a week from the South China Sea.
Their purpose as volunteers - to in-
crease food production and intake of
protein. Among his first tasks were
building a pig and rabbit hutch and a
chicken cage. Also planting gardens was
another project Mark undertook.
The Wolfes began an infant-and-pre-
school-feeding program for malnourisned
children. It was designed to educate the
mothers in the area about the value of
a certain high-protein bean. However,
during the time the couple had been in
the country, these beans had increased
in price due to inflation to a point where
the cost was prohibitive to the program,
and to the mothers buying the beans.
As a substitute for the beans, the Wolfes
found that eggs could be a good source
of protein if they were available. Ac-
tually the hens were available, but most
farmers lacked the small amount of
capital to begin a semi-commercial pro-
ject, i.e., 25 hens raised behind a per-
son's house or in a person's shed. That
number would allow a farmer to have
enough eggs to feed his children, plus
enough left over to sell for a small pro-
fit. The profit would be used again as
capital to assist someone else in obtain-
ing hens. In short it, would be a self-
sustaining project once it began.
The cost to buy feed and raise one
hen to the egg-laying stage cost about
$2.00. The farmer supplied one-half of
the amount needed for cages and a suit-
able building. His investment insured
that he would maintain the project. The
other half came from people in Mark's
home town of Florence, Massachusetts.
Willing persons sent $1.00 to Mark who
then purchased a chick in Manila and
gave it to a farmer who had built his
cage and building.
Mark set up a demonstration coop un-
der his hut, had so many inquiries after
the six started laying eggs that an order
for 100 chickens was placed. In less than
a year 335 hens went out to 35 persons.
According to Mark "things to date are
running well. The hens have met no
major catastrophies and people are be-
ginning to believe in commercial feeds
and keeping hens in cages (not pigs
though)." The project had advanced to
the point now that the farmers are buy-
ing day-old chicks and brooding them.
Originally the people bought four-
month old chicks. They were paying
someone in Manila to raise the chicks
for those four months thus making the
eggs more expensive.
Mark believes that the chicken project
can run without him. Time will tell
since Mark and Margie prepare to leave
in February now that they have served
two years. Despite the hardships they
faced, not to mention the inconvenience,
the Wolfes feel that they have done
something worthwhile. They have work-
ed hard, hoped for a lot and achieved
something good.

Open Letter To
The Student
Government
And The
Student Body
One semester has passed us; a
second is beginning to unfold.
What has happened to the Student
Government in that time? What is
going to happen now?
The first semester was one of
communication construction; the
Student Government put most of
its efforts into areas involving ad-
ministrative and student commu-
nication. A majority of the first se-
mester's weekly meetings were dis-
cussions of current campus prob-
lems, students' feelings and reac-
tions to particular issues. Student
body meetings were held to hear,
first hand, student concerns, to give
administrative views on those con-
cerns, and to give the Student Gov-
ernment something to work on.
Few recommendations were made
and no visual changes noticed.
I have been asked by many stu-
dents if I would call this year's
government a success. My reply is
yes, in spite of the non-interest
shown by our government mem-
bers and the lack of student sup-
port. We went broke three-fourths
of the way through the semester,
our mixers and concert were trage-
dies, and in terms of instant change
we were a flop. As of today three
government members have re-
signed and two have been dis-
missed. The members of govern-
ment have failed to utilize their
committees and continue to make
our Monday night meetings a mun-
dane funeral.
How then is it possible to label
our government a success? Our at-
tempts at increased communication
have worked and we are receiving
more and more assistance from the
administration, particularly from
the Dean of Students Office. We
have a strong idea of student needs
and are now placing those needs
in the form of recommendations to
the administration. We are able to
present members of the administra-
tion to the students in an informal
meeting. A seminar program has
been established to provide our stu-
dents with more information and
to augment our educational process
on a discussion level. The most im-
portant factor is that we have been
able to get some of our students
talking about our problems, our re-
lationships within our community
and our role outside of the college.
What is in store for this semes-
ter? A great number of recommen-
dations will be given to the admin-
istration, concerning class attend-
ance, freshmen cars, open door
hours, summer work programs, stu-
dent-faculty communications, and
a number of revisions in the stu-
dent handbook.
Will we make progress in all of
these areas? I can say with firm
conviction no, we will not make
progress in all of the areas. It
would be absurd to assume that we
could. We can expect more help
from the administration (I pray
our proposals are given written
comment before they are returned
to us ) . We can expect healthy dis-
sent and discussion, we can expect
a harder working student govern-
ment, and we can expect continued
investigation into our slowly chang-
ing system.
All of us are too quick to place
the blame of our frustrating condi-
tions upon our Board of Trustees,
administrators and student govern-
ment. There is another letter which
is addressed to our administrators
presenting them with our problems
and how I feel they can aid us best.
It is not all their fault; part of the
blame falls on all of us as students.
We must be free in our communi-
cation and active in our support of
the student government. We must
know your needs to be able to meet
them. If we don't know those needs,
then we must consider ourselves
ineffective and consequently dis-
solve.
The coming semester is critical
to the future of Delaware Valley
College. It must be a combined
effort of all segments or our com-
munity and must be initiated by
you.

D.VX.'s Best To
Elizabethtown
by Conrad Adami
Intramural Bowling League President
On Saturday, December 4, 1971, the
top five bowlers from the DVC Intra-
mural Bowling League traveled to Eliza-
bethtown College to bowl against the
best bowlers from the Elizabethtown In-
tramural Bowling League.
The DVC team consisted of Mike
Small, Rich Tower, Bill Briegel, Brian
Newhouse, and Conrad Adami. Al-
though the combined averages of the
DVC team were 31 pins less than the
averages of the Elizabethtown team, the
DVC bowlers were determined to win.
The DVC bowlers won the first game
853 to 843 with the help of a 204 game
by Brian Newhouse. Despite Bill
Briegel's 201 in the second game Eliza-
bethtown won 921 to 814. The third
game was taken by the DVC team 860
to 826. Finally, total pins scored (which
counts as a game) went to Elizabeth-
town due to their high score in the sec-
ond game 2590 to 2532.
The result of the match was a split
with DVC winning 2 and losing 2 and
the Elizabethtown team winning 2 and
losing 2. Although the Elizabethtown
team had an advantage with higher
average bowlers, the enthusiasm of the
DVC team helped offset their disadvan-
tage.
Another match between the bowlers
from DVC and the Elizabethtown team
is being scheduled for sometime in
March at the Key Lanes in Doylestown,
where the DVC team will have the ad-
vantage of bowling on their home lanes.
Any students interested in watching the
match should check the bulletin boards
in the cafeteria for details. As a service
to students who wish to attend but have
no transportation, the DVC Intramural
Bowling League members will provide
transportation to the lanes at times to
be posted.

The intramural bowling league began
the second semester on January 20. The
turnout was excellent as it was in the
first semester. There are many new
faces in the league which is a good sign
that intramural bowling is still becom-
ing the fastest growing sport at DVC.

Aggie
Crapplers
On Top
by Ed Biddle
No doubt about it, first year head
mentor, W. Mark Stephenson has
established himself as the leader of
our green and gold grapplers.
This year's squad has compiled
a fine 8-1-0 record, losing only to
Lycoming (22-12) on January 29th.
The Aggies have scored impressive
victories over Juniata (30-10), Ur-
sinus (26-17), Western Maryland
(32-7), PMC (41-6), Lebanon Val-
ley (36-9), Glassboro (24-9), Dick-
ison (41-0) and Rider (29-11). Out
of a total of 90 individual bouts,
Delaware Valley wrestlers have
listed 61 wins, 21 losses and 8 ties.
Outstanding records have been
posted by: returning MAC Champ,
George Cummins (8-1), Brent
Franklin (8-1), who is incidentally
the top DVC pinner with 4. sopho-
more Joe Thonus (7-1-1) and fresh-
man Dan Delorme (6-0-2). Also
checking in with winning records
are: Al Vorhauer (7-2 N , Ron Jen-
nings (5-3), Al Bartlebaugh (5-2-
2), Homan (5-1), Ray Johnson (3-
5-1), Jeff Piscitelli (2-2-1), Hoppes
(1-0), and Tim Snyder (0-1) have
also helped to preserve the fine
team effort. The squad was quite
unfortunate to lose captain Larry
Eisenhart (2-1) with a knee injury
and John Hopper (2 1) with an
arm injury.
The Valley's next encounter will
be Susquehanna University, away
on February 5th.

Lake Archer
Its Past
Present
Future
by Peter D. Ference
The past of Lake Archer to say
the least is an interesting one.
About 40 or 50 years ago there was
a lake at the present site of Lake
Archer, Through the years silting
and the possibility of a low water
table the lake became more of a
marsh. At that time it was used as
a dumping site for the trash.
The first pond was constructed
around 1908. Originally it had been
the worst place on campus in the
aesthetic sense. The early problems
had been, the availability of water
and the substratum on which the
pond rested.
In 1961 Dr. Work asked the
agronomy department for sugges-
tions as to the improvement of the
site. Two solutions were sited. The
}>ond could be filled in and made
evel with the landscape. This in
itself would present trie problem
of what to do with the drainage of
45 or 50 acres from the Burpee
farm. It was decided that the pond
would be reconstructed, since it
was a marshey area. There was
thought to be some underground
streams nearby.
It was witn the leadership of
Kirk Brown from the student coun-
cil, college officials, and the U. S.
Soil Conservation Service which
made it possible. Through the
S.C.S. ana Dr. Julian Prundeanu,
Professor of Agronomy, the pond
was developed.
S.C.S. determined that the sub-
strata of that area was suitable for
a pond. Everything had gone ac-
cording to plan, the pond was
filled. In June of the following year
the water level of the pond started
to go down. Since the readings for
soil sampling are taken 50 ft. or so
apart, it was very possible to miss
some possible places for leaking.
More samples were taken and it
was found the leak could be sealed
probably by chemical means. Stu-
dent Government then put out an
additional 1,000 dollars, for seal-
ing, in addition to the 2,000 dollars
for construction. This was found to
take care of most of the leakage
problems.
In the next issue I will go into
the configuration and characteris-
tics of the pond.
I express my sincere thanks to
Dr. Julian Prundeanu for his help
in preparing this article.
Recycling
The generation, the concerned
generation who believes that the
United States' economy is going to
collapse from the environment con-
tinues in its archaic ways.
The pollution committee which
most students consider a joke ac-
tually is one of the most positive
methods of fighting pollution. From
the Student Government Secretar-
ial Minutes, February 28, 1972, a
statement goes like this, "A ques-
tion was raised as to whether all
trash collected on campus could
be recycled. Due to a shortage of
help this is not possible." Beautiful!
Ana that's not what the world is
going to look like if something isn't
done.
For people interested in solving
this problem one should start at
home where ever that may be. Per-
sonal involvement, join the Sierra
Club, write to the government, use
your car less, turn off unnecessary
lights, don't waste water, these are
only a few ideas applicable to each
individual at Delaware Valley Col-
lege.
O.K., sure — there are lots of con-
tradictions. The President expresses
his grave concern about trie de-
struction of the environment then
orders the air conditioning in the
White House doubled, thereby
doubling the wattage.
The earth doesn't belong to us;
we belong to it. Odd as it may
sound, it's true. We depend on
food, clothes and everything we
have. The students at Delaware
Valley are being fooled. When was
the last time you visited New York
City or any pollution-infested area?
Probably never! One has seen pic-
tures from magazines and newspa-
pers and it gets old after a while.
Abuse by industrialists, govern-
mental agencies and unconcerned
citizens will destroy us.
A space ship in trouble, running
out of life support systems, no
other supplies, overcrowding and
no emergency planning. Most peo-
ple feel the spaceship exists for
them; most people don't know.

5SSHHH...
Many students here at Delaware
Valley College are not very consid-
erate of one another. When it
comes time to do some serious
studying, especially for a major
examination, many students leave
their rooms and migrate to the li-
brary. The majority of these stu-
detns are under the impression that
the library is a place where one
can study in complete solitude.
This, of course, as many of you
know, is a false illusion. It seems
as though many of the students
(especially the coeds) think of the
library as a lounge, a place to so-
cialize. Today the hbrary is no
longer a place where one can get
serious about his study habits, it's
more of a meeting place. I wish
only that students here at Delaware
Valley College would have the re-
spect for their fellow students and
classmates in the library if not any-
where else, as is usually the rule.

STUDENT
GOVERNMENT
NEWS
Last September, I became a
member ot the Student Govern-
ment as a representative of the
Class of 1975. Monday, February
28, six months later, I resigned.
The question: Why?
There are three categories of
reasons. Personal and academic
were two, which I prefer not to
discuss openly. The third is what
I will elaborate on now.
The school is filled with discon-
tent. I quote, a student, "It's not
only the freaks, it's also the
straights." That's the beautiful
thing — everybody's involved. It's
no one group — it's the masses. The
masses, and only the masses rule.
We're finally getting it together,
and now the changes will snow-
ball. "There's something in the
air.
The discontent comes from op-
pression. Students want, Adminis-
tration refuses. That's not my opin-
ion; it's fact. This is what the stu-
dents tell me. I believe that when
and only when we all get together,
with open minds, and discuss the
needs of the students and the rea-
sons for the refusals by the admin-
istration, we will find out one thing
— due to a lack of communication
theer is a total lack of understand-
ing. Yes. It's so damn obvious, it's
hitting us in the face. ¥ei how can
you communicate when people re-
fuse to meet?
The Student Government is sup-
posed to be the machinery by
which Joe Aggie may communicate
with the Administration. I believe
it's like playing a game of chess
with someone 1,000 miles away by
telegraph.
Last semester, Government's ac-
complishments, insofar as changes
go, could be written in capital let-
ters on the inside of a matchbook.
Know why? Government's efforts
were all in the direction of improv-
ing communications. It was highly
successful, and the time and effort
was well worth it. Now where do
we go from here? Government
started in the right direction, and
I hope they proceed. So far, a fan-
tastic job has been done. Yet, I feel
the real test is yet to come.
I think the students should real-
ize one thing. We do have one
great gift. I talk of people such as
Dean Fulcohly, Dean Tasker and
all others associated with that seg-
ment of the Administration. How
can I say this? From the numerous
conferences and informal discus-
sions I've had with these people, I
see that they are sincerely with us,
the students. Many times, Dean
Fulcohly has said to me, "We want
to work with you." For all that I
have done, and for all that I have
attempted to do, I owe a great deal
to Dean Fulcohlv and the people
administrativelv below him. Even
now, I am stilf working with him.
And only by working with the Ad-
ministration can you find out where
their heads are.

(Continued from page 1)
In the past six months on Stu-
dent Government, I've learned a lot
of valuable information. I believe
that I am now in a much better
position to do the things I want to
do, without the pressures and the
red tape. Work directly with the
students, communicate directly
with the Administration.
At one time I thought that the
students didn't give a damn. When
I resigned, I found out just the
opposite, and that I had a lot of sup-
port. Presently, I speak as a spokes-
man for the students. Progress has
been made, and attempts at Stu-
dent - Administration communica-
tions will be made. An understand-
ing by the Administration of the
students and their needs is being
accomplished. People now clearly
see that what has been requested
is supported by the whole popula-
tion, and not just a fraction as had
been thought. Believe it or not, this
matters a lot.
Some people have said that I
was pressured into resigning by the
Administration. No, I wasn't. I re-
signed on my own accord. The
Government and the Administra-
tion expressed their regrets, and I
was asked by members of the Ad-
ministration to remain on Govern-
ment. I didn't, and I have very
good personal reasons. Yet, I still
want to work, and will.
Let's hope tomorrow's better.
"/ wander through future's past darkness.
Slowly and blindly;
Where I will end
Will be just the beginning.
Let me carry on 'til tomorrow
Let us pray it will be better."

Who Says That There
Is Nothing To Do?
Mr. Henry Kushlan(left) discusfing canned fruits in Mr. Walter Wood's
(right) class on Hort. Products, February 7, 1972.
Mr. Henry Gushlan, Head of the
Philadelphia area of the Processed
Fruit and Vegetable Inspection
Division, U.S. Dept. of Agricul-
ture, presented a seminar to Mr.
Woods Horticultural Products
class on Monday. February 7.
Mr. Kushlan, on his fourth trip
to our campus to present seminars,
ably demonstrated the many as-
pects involved in grading canned
peaches, canned applesauce, frozen
green beans, and frozen lima
beans.
Mr. Kushlan demonstrated a
special device for measuring the
consistency of apple sauce and
showed a number of devices used
in grading processed foods. He also
discussed job possibilities with the
USDA and answered many ques-
tions about the federal government.
All of us benefited from Mr.
Kushlan's efforts after he arrived
at 8:00 a.m. on a snowy Monday
morning. On previous occasions he
has brought with him other USDA
people, some from Washington, to
make an even larger program.
As Mr. Wood points out, this
type of seminar, given by very
knowledgeable people like Mr.
Kushlan, presents up-to-date infor-
mation to the student, and with the
discussion period, allows the stu-
dent to participate in "what's hap-
pening NOW" in the fields they in-
tend to enter.
Mr. Wood also pointed out the
possibility of getting a number of
people from Industry and Govern-
ment onto our campus for a one-
day or two - day seminar. This
would help the student and would
put DVC closer to the center of
"what's happening NOW".
Who says that there is nothing
to do Friday nights? Effective im-
mediately, another activity is being
added to DVC's Friday night life.
Conrad Adami, the president of
DVC's Intramural Bowling League,
has negotiated a special arrange-
ment for bowling rates for non-
league bowling.
Mr. Mike Mignogno, the man-
ager of Key Bowling Lanes in
Doylestown, has agreed to charge
only $2.00 to any DVC student and
his or her date after 9:30 p.m. on
any Friday night. The $2.00 price
includes bowling shoes for ooth
bowlers and three games of bowl-
ing for each person. These dis-
counted rates will be charged upon
presentation of your DVC ID card.
Mr. Mignogno also said that stu-
dents arriving as late as midnight
would have sufficient time to bowl
three games before closing and that
all DVC students bowling at any
other time would be charged $1.00
for three games of bowling and
bowling shoes, and their dates
would be charged the full retail
price.

It seems to be the thing to do
nowadays, to criticize the "Ram"
on its lack of publication and its
lack of style in writing. Several
students are complaining that the
paper should come out once a
week. Well, if they looked back to
the Fall of 1971, they would see
that the paper did come out once
a week, but it was just filled with
club news. In the Spring of 1971
there was a change of editor and
the paper. It was believed by the
editor and the staff that a weekly
school newspaper with four pages
of club news would be a waste of
time and money. So the paper
changed to a bi-weekly paper with
some club news and several human
interest stories.
This year ( Fall 1971 and Spring
1972 ) with a drastic lack of writers
the paper has come out only three
times prior to this issue. The staff
and I are having a difficult time in
getting articles for the piper be-
cause no one wants to write; they
just want to complain verbally.
So I am asking that if any stu-
dent who wishes to write a com-
plaint, human interest or any other
type of article, and who keeps it in
good taste, should bring it to my
room, Cooke 212. 1 will then do my
best to put it in the next issue.
The paper is also interested in
new staff members who would like
to earn % credit per semester. The
staff members usually write about
subjects that they are interested in.
To receive an "A", you are required
to write only a few articles a se-
mester.
So, if you want a weekly news-
paper, give us the articles to put
one out each week.

REFORM
The mark of a mature adult is
his willingness and capacity to
stand on his own feet, to take re-
sponsibility and be independent of
others. Keeping this in mind, we
the concerned students at Dela-
ware Valley College feel that cer-
tain administrative policies are
archaic in this ever changing world
in which we live.
The detrimental policies to which
we object at present are: open door
policy, drinking policy, cut system
policy, female co-ed housing poli-
cies, summer employment policy,
cafeteria policy, and insurance
policy.
We, as concerned students at
Delaware Valley College, feel that
the administration has enforced
these policies with good intent, but
for their own interest. They have
failed to reach out and find the
TRUE feeling of the students.
The following policies we feel
are more suitable to these constant
changing times and are in the bet-
ter interest of our students today.
1) A new Visitation Policy should
consist of 24 hours, se ^n days
a week with the doors closed.
2) An individual, twenty-one
years of age, should be able to
drink alcoholic beverages on
campus. If he is mature and
can drink everywhere else,
why then can't he drink in the
privacy of his room.
3) The present cut system should
be abolished and replaced by
an unlimited cut system. A ma-
ture student should want to go
to class and not be forced to
go. The decision should be the
choice of the individual with-
out the fear that overcutting
will lead to failure of the
course.
4) A women's dormitory should
be available for the women
students. We feel that one of
the present male dormitories
should be given to the co-eds.
We as students would assist in
any way possible to help con-
vert the living facilities.
5) Summer Employment Policy
should be abolished. Why? A
student should be able to find
a job in which he can make the
most money because most stu-
dents have to pay for part of
their education and by the pre-
sent policy a student is locked
into an area where low paying
jobs seem to be a bounding.
Thus some students have great
difficulties in financing their
education.
6) The policy for the Cafeteria is
grossly unfair because the
majority of the students pay
for meals which they don't eat.
A meal ticket system should be
incorporated into the food
policy by which a student re-
ceives an X amount of meal tic-
kets that he can use at his own
discretion.
LIT
E MAN ON CAMPUS
"I we it you'll ee leaving, for &rzm vacation
PfA£CTCY AFTER CLA^6 ?'/
7) An insurance policy which
will cover stolen goods when
a door is locked should be put
into effect. Presently if articles
are stolen no compensation is
given to the students.
We feel that suppression breeds
violence. We do not advocate vio-
lence because this only widens the
communication gap. But because of
the present archiaic administrative
policies many students feel that
they are being forced more and
more towards this kind of action.
What we do advocate is under-
standing and compassion on the
part of the administration and a
genuine effort to seek what the
mature students desire. We must
change in order to exist in this
changing society.

Dear Administration,
Faculty and Students,
As we all know, Delaware Val-
ley College has had a hard time
trying to rectify our image being
farmers. We have been fairly suc-
cessful on most of our endeavors.
One of our sore points we project
to other schools and the public lies
in our athletic department. This
particular fault is our head basket-
nail coach.
This type of man under whom
our students play is oppressive.
They are subject to riciaule, foul
names and even physical abuse, all
of which are present during a
game. One of the cardinal sins of
sports is to berate a player in front
of a large audience, which happens
in every game. Never once has any-
one heard praise from this man
publicly or privately for their per-
formance on court. Another prob-
lem which is self evident is the
policy of "Joe super sub." As soon
as one of our players makes a mis-
take, which is expected of anyone,
he is placed in a ieodardizing po-
sition of not completing that game
or for that matter the rest of the
season. This type of policy has a
negative effect on our players. They
are stifled enough not to "open
up," thus frustrating their personal
initiative which may be for the bet-
terment of the team. I am not alone
on these points. Many of the stu-
dents and the team agree with me.
Another aspect which was just
brought to my attention is this
man's handling of the cheerleaders.
Cheerleaders are as much an inte-
gral part of basketball as are the
players. He treats these fine, de-
voted young ladies as if they were
out to scandalize the team and the
school. All of these girls are fine
people devoting themselves to our
school. I dare this man to question
the integrity of any of them.
After talking to people who have
seen his coaching work in high
schools, they were surpirsed to find
it doesn't work in college. I think
everyone should be made aware of
what is happening and of our
image we project. I personally be-
lieve that a re-evaluation of our
head basketball coach is needed.
This will help bring us from the
bush league opinion to which we
are subjected, to a fully recognized
and respectable small college,
which we are fully entitled to in
this area.
Sincerely yours,
Robert R. Wischhusen, 73

Songs for Sigmund
There's a new music — newer
than Joni Mitchell, American Pie,
the Taylor Family, and Mrs. King's
rock Queen Carole.
There's a new neon-lighted music
that makes Janis Joplin seem like
just another pretty voice and makes
Frank Zappa the boy next door.
This new multi - dimensional
music is gaining impetus like the
sound of umbilical cords snapping
all around the country.
In an era of environmental
health, health foods and mental
health, it's only natural that there
should be Health Music.
Music often has been used as a
means toward health. For more
than twenty years, psychologists
have used music as a tool in treat-
ment of mentally handicapped
patients. Opera is well-known for
its Mad Scenes. And many songs —
from Deutschland Uber Alles to
On, Wisconsin — have provoked
an emotional reaction in their lis-
teners. But now, music is changing
its tune.
Two new songwriters are writ-
ing creatively cathartic music as
they revel and reveal through musi-
cally "meaningful" experiences.
It all began about five years ago
with Arthur Janov's controversial
Primal Scream therapy. Neurosis,
Janov says, is frozen childhood pain.
All neuroses are symptoms for re-
leasing that Primal Pain, brought
about by unfulfilling childhood ex-
periences relating to parents. He
points to a single cure: The neuro-
tic person must dismantle his de-
fenses and return to where he made
the decisions to act out expecta-
tions of others rather than his own
feelings. Janov's theory is complex
but, briefly, the Primal patient
must re-live pain to remove the
"curse" in order to understand his
neurotic tensions. Naturally, Moth-
er and Father are an integral part
of the therapy. The Primal patient
is urged to call out his parents and,
as he does so, the patient often be-
gins screaming long and sorrowful
sobs. This is the Primal Scream.
But now, Primal Scream Mothers
and Fathers have found their way
to the phonograph. Dr. Janov's
best-known patient is John Lennon,
former Beatle. Lennon's latest two
albums underscore his therapeutic
involvements. In a song called
"Mother," he musically withers in
pain, screaming: "Mother, you had
me, but I never had you / I wanted
you, but you didn't want me . . .
Good-byeee." He ends the album
with a short and snappy song to
the tune of Three Blind Mice: "My
Mummy's dead / I can't get it
through my head / I can't explain /
so much pain / my Mummy's
dead."
In his album, Lennon has crea-
tively attempted to work out his
Mother Thing, yelling at and for
her at the beginning of the record
. . . putting her to rest forever at
the end. There is a blurred phono-
graph of Lennon as a young boy
on the album cover.
Dory Previn's music is of the
same genre. When her husband,
Andre Previn, left her for Mia Far-
row, Dory's psyche cracked. She
was institutionalized. "While I was
in the hospital," she has said, "I
started writing to get some order
out of chaos. What I've tried to do
is bring the madness out in the
open."
And she's succeeded. Maybe too
well. Her three albums contain
more Mad Songs than all opera
combined. In one song, she relives
her four-month long sanitarium ex-
perience. But mostly she sings
about her parents.
"Damn you, Mother / how I hate
you / you will never know how
deep / I must cling till you release
me / I could kill you in your
sleep / I would smile to watch your
life blood creep across your wretch-
ed hair yes, of course I love you,
Mother / I'll never leave you ... I
swear."
But behind each element of
Dory's madness is an element of
sadness that passes through the
listener's ears and straight to the
heart.
This song is dedicated to her
father: "The telephone rang / my
sister calling / Dad is dead? / when
did it happen? / six a.m. she said /
did he ask for me? / what did you
say? / never mind . . . God is kind."
Songs about parents have chang-
ed somewhat since the days of "I
want a girl, just like the girl . . ,"
Health Music affects the listener,
too. It's easier to work out our own
problems through someone else's
efforts. And sing along. We can
easily play audio voyeurs and
eavesdrop on other people work-
ing out their neuroses. And some of
ours surely overlap. This Health
Music has been called names from
Freudian to Fraudulant — but it's
a music that can teach us some-
thing. Between Previn and Lennon,
there are five albums to show for
it. Might just be the perfect gift for
your parents' anniversary.

Dear Aunt Lucy,
When you called last night, you
probably wondered who that loud
voice was who answered the phone
and what that barking was in the
background.
Wilbur, my first college room-
mate, is staying with me again. We
used to room together in one of
those super-small dormitory rooms
with paper-thin walls, tiny dressing
stalls, indoor-outdoor linoleum tile
— you know, a typical college
dorm. I remember my first day at
the dorm, wondering what my
roommate would be like. I arrived
three hours before he did and I
guarded the bed near the window,
making sure I'd get custody of the
top three dresser drawers so I
shouldn't have to bend over more
than necessary. •
And then Wilbur arrived, with
a knapsack and a menagerie of
cats, hamsters, birds, gerbils, cha-
meleons, fish. Wilbur was an ani-
mal freak. I'd wake up in the mid-
dle of the night and find Wilbur's
ten gerbils stuck between my toes,
his four cats taunting the mynah
bird, which was cawing obsceni-
ties that would make the college
newspaper look innocent. But Wil-
bur didn't have a dog.
And now after three years of be-
ing away from that zoo, I am com-
ing with Wilbur again. And not
alone.
"I alwavs wanted a dog," he ex-
plained when he arrived here. "You
know, I used to see those movies
like Rin Tin Tin, Lassie and Na-
tional Velvet . . ."
"National Velvet was a horse . . ."
"I know, but I used to squint my
eyes real tight and it looked like
a dog. I always wondered what
Elizabeth Taylor was doing riding
a dog. Of course I called the SPCA
immediately . . .
". . . anyway, I finally got a dog
a few weeks ago. She's sitting on
your table . . . didn't you notice?"
Devouring my table was the big-
gest sheep dog I had ever seen; so
large that even Richard Burton
would be afraid to ride her. And if
I hadn't noticed the dog, I certain-
ly noticed the little Remembrances
she had left from the door to the
table, a 'la Hansel and Gretel, with-
out the fairy tale charm.
"Her name is Paddington," Wil-
bur said. "But you can call her
Pad."
"Pat?"
"No, Pad. Consider her your
third roommate."
"But will she pay rent?" I asked
as Wilbur walked away.
When Wilbur first got Pad, he
lived in one of those apartment
complexes (Withering Arms Ter-
race East ) for swinging singles and
young harried marrieds with paper-
thin walls — just like the dorm.
Robert Cher, a jealous young hus-
band, and his wife, Pat, lived next
door to Wilbur.
But Wilbur was preoccupied,
trying, in his unique booming voice,
to teach Paddington tricks. "Roll
over, Pad . . . sit, girl, ... lay down,
Pad . . . fetch, Pad . . . play dead,
girl ... get off the bed, Pad . . .
bad girl . . . stay, Pad . . . good
girl, good girl ... let me scratch
your belly . . . how does that feel,
Pad? . . . up, Pad . . . "and on and
on . . .
. . . until Robert Cher came
bounding into Wilbur's apartment.
"Okay, where is she?"
"Who? Who?" Wilbur asked
twice.
"My wife. My wife," Mr. Cher
answered twice. "I heard you call-
ing her, you disgusting wife-snatch-
er, telling her to lay down and roll
over and get off your bed . . ."
"Better off than on, eh?"
"Okay, kid," Mr. Cher said, grab-
bing Wilbur. "Where is my wife?"
"Beats me . . ."
And he did. And as he did, Wil-
bur tried to mumble something
about "a dog, a dog . . .*
"Oh yeah? I'll teach you nnfr to
call my wife a dog . . ." And be did
teach Wilbur. An eye, an ear and a
nose worth.
And Wilbur moved out Quickly.
And moved into my place. Quick-
lier. So you see, Aunt Lucy, that's
what Wilbur and his dog are do-
ing here.
So now Wilbur spends his days
at the doctor (a good eye, ear and
nose man) and looks for a new
apartment, although he doesn't
seem to be in too much of a hurry.
And I spend my days with an
unruly dog named Paddington,
wishing that Liz would leave Dick
and ride away on Pad into the sun-
set until a big The End flashes
across my mind's screen and that
this whole mess — Remembrances
and all — is over.
I haven't gotten around to tell-
ing my newly-wed neighbors, Pat
and Leonard Meister, about the
dog yet. I've been too busy with
the dog, trying to teach her to be-
have — you know, "lay down, Pad
. . . stay, Pad . . . sit, girl . . . roll
over, Pad ... get off my bed,
Pad . . .**
Oh, now she's jumping on my
desk and I think she wants some
attention. "Do you want me to rub
your belly, Pad?"
Hey, someone just came in the
apartment . . . It's, it's Mr. Meister
. . . He's coming at me . . .

We Shall
Overcome
Drop tradition down the tunnel
of the past for stationary topics re-
main only in the past. All your
faithful, decrepit, inane blobs rip
your plump bodies away from the
chains of imprisonment and thrust
forth the piercing fork of advance-
ment. Tarn through the stagnant
mist of rotten cow dung and rise
up upon your haunches and taste
the sweet ebullience of the good
life. Let yourself associate with this
experience, release the wheels of
progress and let your subconscious
coast forth. Live not in the fur-
nished house that has a comfort-
able, atmosphere. Live to seek out
the corrupt by implanting the fresh
seed that wanders for light. Em-
ploy into the soil all the richness
of the world and you shall resist
disease and infection with strong
fibers. Crush them with the first
blow and you will be victorious

B. C, DOING HER THING
(Betty Crocker, that is)
What's her thing? Helping some-
one who wants and needs it, like
a junkie in Phyli who wants to kick
the habit, a scared, homeless six-
teen-year-old who's eight months
pregnant and doesn't know where
to find help in L. A., or gang mem-
bers in Harlem and the Bronx who
have had enough of fighting and
dying for a few blocks of crum-
bling and decaying slum.
How's she doing it? By redeem-
ing her coupons, found on many
General Mills products, (flour,
cake mixes, ce*reals), and giving
these few cents from each coupon
to Teen Challenge, an organization
dedicated to helping young people
who are in trouble. Teen Challenge
offers them a new lease on life, one
with real meaning, purpose and
goals by introducing them to a God
who is alive, who cares about them
and will straighten out their
messed-up lives. Teen Challenge
has been doing this with much
success; over 903? of the former
drug addicts have not returned to
drugs.
The Betty Crocker coupons are
being collected in this area by the
Pennsylvania chapter of the Future
Business Leaders of America who
then forward them to Teen Chal-
lenge.
Why don't we all do "our thing"
and help someone who is worse off
than we are? Round up all the B.C.
coupons you can find and turn
them into Room #15, Lasker Hall
before March 20!
The ex-junkie, the runaway with
a home, and the gang members
with a real reason to live thank you
with all they have; I too say
THANKS!

DYLAN
Not Bob "Zimmerman" but
Dylan Thomas, the contemporary
poet! Dylan is currently playing at
the Mercer O'Casey Theatre, 240
Mercer Street, New York City.
Dylan is the story of that famous
man s tragic life. We followed him
from his early writings in Wales
and his marital problems with Cait-
lin, played by Rue McClanahan,
through his tours of the United
States and his ultimate suicide. The
action was a series of tragic and
comic episodes involving Dylan's
idiosvncracies and eccentricities
whicn made us laugh and weep.
Dylan is played by Will Hare,
who gave an outstanding perform-
ance. He was able to make people
identify with the problems of
Dylan and the forces that drove
him to drink.
Joanna Miles plays Meg, Dylan's
friend and eventual mistress. She
is seen as his contact with reality
and happiness. In this reporters
opinion, this actress will go places
in the theatre. Her performance
surpassed Will Hare's because of
her ability to portray waimth. She
is a great asset to an already superb
show.
The theatre itself adds to the
play. The O'Casey Theatre is one
of five under a single roof, and the
play is produced in the round, so
the audience is almost in the mid-
dle of the action. Also, the audito-
rium is small, seating around 300,
which adds to the enjoyment of the
good acting.
We urge anyone who is going to
be in the city in the near future to
call 673-3937 and make reserva-
tions. In our opinion, this is one of
the best productions in New York
at this time and is well worth the
trip and expense.

In The Dark Of
The Night
Once again vandalism has
scarred the face of Delaware Val-
ley College. The most recent con-
temptuous incident took its toll on
Dr. Blumingfield of the Plant Sci-
ence Department. Under the cloak
of darkness some greedy thieves
and vandals dismantled and stole
the plastic greenhouse which was
recently constructed in front of the
Horticulture Building. Why did
this incident happen here at Dela-
ware Valley College? In every so-
ciety we find an element of cruel,
selfish, and ignorant individuals
who are interested only in destroy-
ing the achievements of others. It
seems even here at Delaware Val-
ley College we feel the wrath of
these treacherous individuals. What
can be done to stop these acts of
corrupt vandalism? Only through
the efforts of people can we again
have peace and tranquility here at
Delaware Valley College. Anyone
having knowledge of this incident,
please contact the proper authori-
ties. Only through your efforts can
further vandalism be avoided.

Flower Show
Overwhelming
n
n
The Flower Show Committee
would like to thank publicly the
many people who contributed to
the overwhelming success of the
Flower Show. The numerous com-
pliments we received coupled with
hundreds of ooh's and ah's served
as ample evidence that the show
was indeed a tremendous smash
hit.
Special thanks go to Mr. Frank
Grau for his many unselfish con-
tributions and invaluable advice.
We also send special thanks to Mr.
Sauers and Mr. Nelson, without
whose cooperation the show would
have been impossible. And last, but
certainly never least, we sincerely
thank all those who actively par-
ticipated in the Flower Show.
These are the people who really
made the show a smash. We cer-
tainly look forward to these active
interests next year, and many years
to come.
We would also like to take this
opportunity to congratulate Paul
L. Blanc. Paul, a senior at D.V.C.,
wOn the show sweepstakes, best ar-
rangement in show, as well as nu-
merous individual awards. Its the
interest of students like Paul which
make D.V.C. the kind of school it

The Spring
Weekend
That Wasn't
Well people, now that Spring
Weekend is done with, did you all
enjoy it? I surely didn't. What hap-
pened to the great concert which
was so long in planning? What
happened to the variety show
which would have been a good
laugh? WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE SPRING WEEKEND?
Do you realize that each and
everyone of you paid for our non-
existent Spring Weekend? Why do
you all sit back in your chairs on
your fat rears and let go on what
is going on? You people are being
taken advantage of and you don't
even know it. Or worse, maybe
you do know it and you don't care.
Not that I like to unoury the dead,
but how many of you did anything
iibout our Fall Outdoor Concert,
which turned out to be another
booming D. V. C. success.? One
would figure after a loss of Four
Thousand of your dollars, you
would do something to stop your-
self from being robbed. It is bad
enough that the school tuition fee
is high, but to take the money and
toss it away is a waste. Each dollar
you put into the school activity
fund is met with an equal dollar
from the Administration. Did you
all enjoy the activities to which this
money was put towards? Don't you
all realize that because you all go
home on weekends, the school isn't
given the opportunity to offer you
a decent mixer, movie or any form
of weekend entertainment? Don't
you all realize that it is your fault
that this school is a social flop,
catering to only the limited minor-
ity of poor unfortunates who are
stuck here on the weekends.
Because the school has "nothing"
to offer, you all go home and be-
cause of the fact that you all go
home the school offers nothing in
return. It is a vicious cycle! We
must stop this ridiculous waste. If
you dont like it don't grumble to
your roommate; get yourself and
your friends over to a Student Gov-
ernment meeting and let these peo-
ple know what you think. Don't let
yourself be pushed around like
flowers in a strong wind, or herded
like sheep in a pasture. Get out and
express yourself!

STUDENT
GOVERNMENT
NEWS
This afternoon, Ken Bucholz,
our Student Government Secretary,
asked me to do my part in trying to
make D.V.C. a better school. In
essence he told me to get off my
can, stop talking and do something.
Our college belongs to us, the
students. Whatever good or bad
comes forth from it is our doing.
If you expect a change in policy to
come about, it is up to you to back
your representatives and Student
Government. You can't expect the
administration to pass policies that
don't have the backing of the stu-
dent body.
As a member of the class of 1975,
I see we are going to be trapped by
the same pitfall as previous classes
have. We are going to complain
about conditions and policies, but
We aren't going to do anything to
change them. If you don't want to
help D.V.C, you don't have to.
However, if you, like me, want to
see D.V.C. grow and improve, let
your voice be heard by the Student
Government NOW!, before it's too
late.

WHY A
WEEKLY
NEWSPAPER
Many students, especially com-
muters, complain about a lack of
knowledge concerning the happen-
ings on D.V.C. campus. There is a
solution.
A weekly newspaper would more
than adequately fulfill the needs
of the students' minds. It would
tell them when and where club
meetings are being held or what
movie is playing next week. Sports,
as one of the big activities on this
campus, would have their scores
for yesterday's game and who
scored it recorded in this weekly
newspaper. The Student Govern-
ment minutes could occupy space
with useful information. Pictures
could arouse the visual sense and
possibly give a more accurate de-
scription.
The weekly newspaper would be
a legal place for students to express
ideas. As time changes so does the
student and his ideas; here the best
constructive ideas pertaining to the
student would be expressed. As the
students begin to think alike, they
will act alike and therefore they
will have constructed unity among
its members. The weekly newspa-
per would be a source of unity.

New University
Opens
Emphasis On
Independent
Study
Scholars University, a graduate
institute offering the Ph.D., Ed.D.
and M.A. degrees in 25 areas of
Summer On-Campus work plus In-
dependent Study Off-Campus, an-
nounces its first On-Campus class-
es will be held beginning this July
3, at its campus in the State of
Florida.
In announcing the inauguration
of the new university, Dr. F. R.
Serlin, president, stated: "Todays
student is increasingly unwilling to
sit in a classroom when he feels
that he can learn as much working
independently in fewer hours than
he would spend attending class lec-
tures.
"Today's student doesn't feel he
has time to postpone his work ex-
perience yet another year or two or
three while acquiring his Master's
or Doctoral degree — hence the bur-
geoning of universities with min-
imal On - Campus - residency pro-
grams.
"He wants to learn, but he wants
to learn only what is meaningful to
him . . . hence an Independent
Study program that can involve
him in studying areas meaningful
to him.
"And he is a more mature in-
ch vidual than his counterpart of a
decade or so ago. Hence the mush-
rooming of programs of study
predicated upon the conviction that
the student will discipline himself,
if an academic program is devised
that is meaningful to him."
The Scholars University program
is by no means without structure,
Dr. Serlin emphasized. The pro-
gram requires 16 residency credits
summers On-Campus for the M.A.
degree, and 24 credits for the Ed.D.
and Ph.D. The balance of the
coursework is completed Off-
Campus, during the Fall and
Spring semesters, under faculty ad-
visement. "Yet the emphasis re-
mains on an amalgamation of the
student's particular interests and
the faculty advisor's help in fulfill-
ing a total program of study in the
area of specialization."
In answer to the question of the
standing of 'innovation' in higher
education, Dr. Serlin stated: "The
new trend in education is innova-
tion. Scholars University joins an
impressive number of 'establish-
ment* institutions of higher learn-
ing which give students the op-
portunities of programs of individ-
ualized off - campus independent
study: Syracuse University, the
State University of New York, Eng-
land's Open University, The Uni-
versity Without Walls — which in-
cludes some twenty prestigious
universities across the country . . .
as well as a significant number of
institutions of higher learning
established in order to offer a new
type of educational experience —
these are but a few of the colleges
and universities that increasingly
recognize that today's student
doesn't have the time — or won't
take the time — to sit in a class-
room. The student — and adminis-
tration — is increasingly accepting
the reality that the classroom offers
only a portion of the tools which
the student can use to truly edu-
cate himself."

ars University's program may be

The
Wastelands
Today while pondering over my
present state or insanity I came
upon Mr. Toil, and I asked him if
there was any chance in recovering
from my eight months of inactive-
ness and he bellowed these famous
lines, "I have but one life to give
for my D.V.C., wasteland and that
is labor, man, pure rot-gut sweat,
and labor. Let me say one thing,
I sure ain't getting my eight
months of screwed up blues for
nothing". Well, our Mr. Toil sure-
ly gave us D.V.C. pickers a lot
for the asking and he probably will
throw some more derogatory state-
ments in our eyes unless we, first
stop that beany old codger right
dead smack in his path of destruc-
tion. Secondly we must recondition
our troops and send out aid to our
minority clans with a firm purpose
of amendment. Third and finally,
we should seek for mindful solu-
tions in sweeping the dust of The
Wasteland from our brow.
Well, my children, what is it? Be
us dust peddlers or be us white
knights in shining armor?
Mixing
At The
Mixers
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 always
looking like a farmer out on the
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?'

LETTERS
TO
THE
EDITOR
Dear Sir:
After reading the personal criti-
cism "Ssshhh ..." in your last pub-
lication, I felt that as a concerned
student I must present a rebuttal.
The writer of the article talks
about "having respect for fellow
students and classmates in the
library," and condemns us students
by adding, "if not anywhere else,
as is usually the rule." In regard to
this statement I feel he is correct
ONLY in condemning students at
D.V.C. of not having respect and
courtesy for anyone else; present
company included, and I'm almost
certain in including the writer of
the article, as well as our librarians.
But I shall elaborate on only this
problem of respect and courtesy as
it pertains to the library.
True, many students migrate
from their rooms to the library be-
fore a major exam to study, but
also to do some group studying
there with other students taking
the exam. Talking does go on (if
not first caught by eagle-eyed li-
brarian), but it is about serious,
pertinent subject matter, not
"lounge-type talk," Mrs. Librarian
and Mr. Joe Ram Writer. Besides,
who ever thought of studying in a
lounge? If the television is on, or
people are sitting around socializ-
ing, and you and the people you
are studying with ask if they would
please keep their television or so-
cializing a little more quiet, they
get angry at you for wanting to
turn their lounge into a LIBRARY,
of all things!!
So, where do these people want-
ing to study together gor To the
library!
As stated in the article, the larg-
est reason for noise in the library is
"the coeds." Again an example of
inconsideration of the writer and
his supporters. Why?
1 ) Where else can the coeds go?
They aren't allowed in the dorm
lounges before freshmen exam time
(11:00 a.m.). Regardless of how
hard Mrs. Porter and the girls work
together, there just isn't enough
room to accommodate 40 girls in
two rooms with books and papers
distributed throughout.
2) The male students, after
wanting to have girls around, are
already complaining about a little
thing like that.
3) And it is a little thing. Coeds
can't socialize in the library even
if they want. Why?
a) The overly efficient librarians
have them "tailed" upon entrance.
b) They demand silence at the
first sentence, phrase, word, or
sound they may hear. And if the
librarian fails to reprimand the
coed while the "felony" is being
Frankly Its
Delightful ! !
Yes? No? Maybe?
DAIRY
SOCIETY
committed, she may wait until she
sees the coed again. Then she will
approach the coed, make the
charge, state the coed's rights (if
she has any left) and pronounce
the sentence. (Even organized
crime is more tactful. ) Or, as in my
case, the librarian will accuse you
of making noise, like when I was
the only person in the entire wing
at the time! (I wanted to tell my
godfather.) She will deliver an
ultimatum and embarrass you in
front of your friends. In the mean-
time, after she is finished, you re-
main seated silently — red from the
neck up. However it's difficult to
resume studying because the li-
brarians are giving a synopsis of
yesterday's episode of "The Secret
Storm."
So as you can see, it is "not espe-
cially coeds," Mr. Editor. Our li-
brarians are too well trained and
extremely efficient to condone such
behavior from coeds.
I've elaborated on the problem
of consideration pertaining to the
library, and the library situation
from a coed's point of view, but I
can think of no other inexpensive
means of a solution to this problem
as stated by the writer of the per-
sonal criticism "Ssshhh . . . ," other
than complete consideration of and
respect for one another. If our lives
are structured around respect and
consideration, we can all be one
happy family at D.V.C.
Respectfully,
Miss Corelone

D.V.C. Coed
Visits Ursinus
by Barb Driesens
On March 1, Carol Finnie at-
tended a seminar of the American
Association of University Women
held at Ursinus College. To quote
Carol, "Nine panelists from differ-
ent colleges attended, including
guests from Spring Garden Insti-
tute, West Chester, Montgomery
County Community College, and
Delaware Valley."
The panelists gave short speeches
about their respective campuses.
These talks mentioned the campus
acreage, enrollment, campus social
life, and drug usage. The speeches
were followed by a brief question
and answer period, after which re-
freshments were served.
The Delaware Valley College
Dairy Society met twice during
March for business meetings and a
speaker. At the March 7 meeting
new officers for the coming year
were elected as follows: Marvin
Lowensteiner, president; Tom Mc-
Williams, vice president; John
Grice, secretary; Bob McCoy, treas-
urer; Dave Crooke, publications;
and John Bray, intramurals. Fresh-
men drew names for animals for
the show on A Day and trophies
for championships were discussed.
Dr. McCaffree reported that 30
members had signed up for ani-
mals by the March 21 meeting.
Trophies were again considered
with the Holstein Brown Swiss,
and Ayrshire breeds represented.
The trophies will be donated by
the respective associations and will
remain at the school to be pre-
sented each year.
The high point of the meeting
was a presentation by Mrs. Hope
Scott, owner of Ardossan Ayrshire
Farm, Villanova, Pa. Mrs. Scott
gave a short description of her ex-
periences with cattle and also in
competitive riding and judging of
horses. A discussion followed with
questions coming from club mem-
bers and members of the Equine
Club who joined m for the speaker.
Ardrossan Farm is an 800-acre es-
tate with 150 milking cows. The
herd was started in 1910 by Mrs.
Scott's father. Colonel Robert L.
Montgomery, who was very pro-
gressive in both breeding and
health practices.

Purple
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
Power
by Rick Mitz
Some of my favorite browns have
turned out to be green. Some of my
favorite blues have turned out to
be purple. And some of my favorite
yellows have turned out to be red.
Which just goes to show that you
can't trust anyone under 20-20 vis-
ion.
I am color blind. My pants don't
match my shirts, my sweaters don't
match my ties, my scarves don't
match my coats, my pajamas don't
match my bed linen, and my socks
are the product of a broken home.
I am a member of a forgotten,
silent minority group, discriminat-
ed against because we pledge al-
legiance to a flag that is yellow,
white and purple; because as chil-
dren we followed the orange brick
road; and because to us Red China
is just another pretty shade of gold.
Recently Irving, a color-blind
friend of mine, and I tried to drive
down to the state capitol to lobby
for legislative charges for our
myopic minority group. Irving car-
ried a beige placard (pink) that
read "Black and White are Beauti-
ful." We got in my little yellow
car (red), and drove on until we
approached a flashing light over
a sign that read: "Proceed care-
fully on flashing amber, stop on
flashing red."
"What's amber?" Irving asked
as we drove toward the light.
"Sort of a cross between green
and blue — like your sweater," I
said, pointing to his mauve swea-
ter.
"My sweater's not amber," he
said. "It's coral — like your jacket."
"My jacket just happens to be
aqua-marine," I said.
"Look," Irving said, "Are we
gonna stop at this light or aren't
we?"
"Let's go through it. It's a defin-
ite amber."
"No — a definite green. Let's go
through it. And we won't bother
proceeding with caution. We'll
show 'em. '
"The sign doesn't say anything
about green — just red and amber."
"They're trying to mess us up, to
test whether or not we're color
blind," he said with just the slight-
est hint of paranoia. So we went
dashing through the flashing light
until a police car with a flashing
orange light (red) stopped us. I
turned azure (green) and Irving
turned beet avocado (red) and
the policeman turned us in for in-
decent exposure. It seems that we
were stopping traffic because our
clothes were clashing so we never
made it down to the legislature.
Rut there are other handicaps.
I've had to drop out of school three
times now because I couldn't tell
which part of the triplicate forms
to turn in or keep. My apartment
clashes with the others in trie build-
ing and the tenants' union is trying
' iN NW OFFICE."
to get me either evicted or married
to an interior decorator. I thought
the TV I picked up at the Good-
will for $22 was color until I in-
vited twenty people over to watch
the Wizard of Oz. When we got
to Oz it was just like Kansas and
everybody walked out. According
to a sign on the stadium gate, I
am not welcome at football games
because I always root for the Pur-
ples and Yellows (the Blues and
the Greens) rather than our team,
the Reds and the Browns (the
Oranges and the Greens).
But, as they say, the grass is al-
ways browner . . . there are some
advantages to being color blind.
The army refuses to accept me
because, once in combat, they
claimed I couldn't tell the enemy
from our own men (although I'm
told that hasn't stopped many of
our boys over there with normal
vision). And I am constantly being
praised by friends and family for
my acceptance of people with di-
ferent skin color. But, as I always
tell them, "You can thank my par-
ents that I know no color barriers.
I was always brought up to think
that people with purple skin have
as many rights as we chartreuses."
And then there's Mazie, the
lovely girl who comes over to sort
my socks once a week.
"You know, Mitz," she said, sort-

Jockey
Shorts
by Rick Mitz
Not since the mail-order bride
business have we been able to buy
so much without ever moving. We
can get anything via Ma Bell these
days. We can register for college,
feed a feast to 17 hungries, have
our rugs cleaned, have our cats
spayed, furnish our sunrooms and
even visit our mothers — all by let-
ting your fingers do the walking
and your mouth do the talking.
And if you can't do that, you just
call a number and they'll send out
someone who can.
Last Saturday, I went downtown
to a large department store and
found that the place was more bar-
ren that Palm Springs in July. I
told the manager I was sorry that
business was so bad.
"Bad!" he bayed. "Business has
never been better. We've never
sold more. It's just that everybody's
ordering everything over the
phone."
He led me to a room crowded
with hundreds of ladies wearing
telephone headsets over their blue
hair and cauliflower ears. It looked
like a joint convention of the
League of Women Voters, Hadas-
sah and the DAR I walked around
and listened.
"Yes, Mrs. Slotnick. We'll send
out your artificial resuscitator this
afternoon. Will someone be home
to accept delivery?"
"I'm sorry, Ma'm, but we have
a $5 minimum purchase on deliv-
eries. Now if you add a loaf of
bread and some cheese to your
salami . . ."
Then the manager took me to
the fortress in the next room where
the delivery boys were lined up
against the wall waiting for their
assignments.
"Jimmy Slocum!" the manager
called.
"Yes, Sir," he said, clicking his
heels together and stepping for-
ward for his mission.
"Slocum, scoot up to lingerie and
get two 36 Cross- Your-Hearts for
Mrs. Scott on 1989 Lilac Lane,
44307."
"Yes, Sir!" he clicked, and off he
went to lingerie.
"What about the rest of the
store," I asked the manager. "No-
body's here."
"We just keep the store open for
tax purposes," he explains. "It looks
good. I mean, we aren't in the mail
order business."
"I'm looking for a pair of jockey
shorts," I whispered. "Where can
I find someone to help me?"
He told me to wait and called
out pretty Miss Smythe from the
phone room.
"Sir," Miss Smythe said. "May I
help you?"
"Yeah. I'd like a pair of, um,
jockey shorts."
"On," she said, looking befud-
dled. "Well, let me see . . . our
horseback riding attire is on sixth
floor . . ."
"No, no, no," I said. "Jockey
shorts . . . underpants. Where's
your men's underwear depart-
ment?"
"Gee ... I don't know," she said
and then smiled. "Why don't you
trot across the street to the pay
phone and call me and I can have
them delivered to you there. I'm
not sure how to do it any other
way. You can charge it."
"I don't have a charge account
here. I wanted to pay cash."
"Cash? Oh, you mean like
money." She beamed.
"Yes. Sort of like money."
"This is highly irregular. I don't
think we deal in cash here." She
paused. Say, why don't you just
shoplift the underwear? Our insur-
ance will cover it."
"Listen, Miss Smythe. Where can
I open a charge account?"
"At the phone booth across the
street."
"Thanks, Miss Smythe," I said,
and began to walk away. "Say, can
you tell me where the restroom
is?
"Gee," she said. "You can have
that delivered, too. And charge it,
of course."
I thanked pretty young Miss
Smythe again and walked across
the street. There was a line 100 feet
long waiting to get into the phone
booth. I overheard a lady talking
on the phone.
"Could you send over a ham on
rye — lay low on the mayo — with
garnish and a pickle? Just charge
it to my account. I'm the lady in
the chartreuse dress."
Finally, it was my turn. "Could
you please send over two pairs of
jockey shorts, size 32. I'm the one
with the worn out underwear on.
And — oh, yes — could you also send
over Miss Smythe, about a size 6,
I think."
I now do all my shopping by
phone.

CHESS
TIPS
Chess is a game of strategy which is
formulated from the logical anticipation
of your opponent's future moves. You
should play the game safely. By this I
mean that you should never under-esti-
mate your opponent by committing your-
self to a series of moves then hoping he
will not see their purpose. This is wrong
and it is very often highly costly; it will
probably result in the loss of the match.
The opening, in my opinion, is the
most crucial part of the match. If you
are fortunate enough to have white, you
start with a half-move advantage and
therefore you should play primarily of-
fensively. In the first five to ten moves
you should try to move or develop a
maximum number of pieces while moving
each one a minimal number of times. In
doing this you should build a complex
which protects itself but also has maxi-
mum control over the four center squares
of the board. If you accomplish this, you
have essentially gained control of the
board and an upper hand in the game.
Your strategy from here on would be to
gain further control and try to force
your opponent to waste moves.
If you have black, your main objec-
tive is to mount some sort of offensive
by forcing white to waste a move and
lose the initiative. You could do this by
developing a complex similar to white's,
again developing as many pieces as pos-
sible with a minimum amount of moves,
and countering whites control over the
four center squares. From here your
strategy is to merely over-power white
and drive him back or force him to fight.
This is sometimes very difficult unless
you castle early and employ your rooks
a backers of this power drive. For this
purpose I find it better to castle Queen's
side to immediately bring the rook to
one of the center columns.

Its Past
Present
Future
Part II
by Peter D. Ference
The pond itself is a little bit less
than an acre in area covering
43,000 sq. ft. At its shallowest end
it is about 3 feet or so in depth and
its deepest is 7 feet. This was the
original planned depths. Of course
over the years some silting has oc-
curred bringing up the bottom.
The main problem that still re-
mains is "water." Enough water is
needed to maintain a flow that will
sweep debris, such as excess algae,
pollen, dirt and leaves out through
the overflow pipe. There are sev-
eral small springs which feed the
pond, one of which was metered
to flow about 2-3 gallons per
minute. This may not seem much
but every drop is needed. Runoff
comes from the Burpee farms and
all the water that falls on the roof
of Mandell Science building plus
the roof water from the new Edu-
cation Bldg. is channeled into the
pond. This large collective surface
area will undoubtedly help. An-
other pipe has been run trom the
springnouse which used to store
milk. Dr. Feldstein has been ex-
tremely helpful in the area of
pumping some of the water from
the wells during the summer when
there are not many students on
campus. The whole matter lies in
having a continuous flow.
This author brought up the prob-
lem of leaves and organic matter
and if it would be possible to
aerate the pond. Dr. Prundeanu
said not too much thought was
given to this because they felt
there was a simpler solution. If 40
or 50 students would spend about
30 minutes 3 or 4 times a year,
the leaves and other refuse could
be dealt with quickly and the oxi-
dation by aeration would then not
be needed.
It cannot be stressed enough that
the students could help a lot in
keeping the lake clean. Don't throw
in refuse, rocks, or branches from
the trees.
As to plants, there was some dis-
cussion as to the possibility of put-
ting in some water lilies and maybe
stocking the lake with fish. The
present population would thus have
to be killed off. Algaecides could be
used but it was decided to study
the pond some more.
I personally commend the pro-
fessors who took to this conserva-
tive type of treatment without div-
ing in without looking, as is some-
times done. This will save the
pond, which is considered a great
asset to the campus biologically
and aesthetically. I again thank Dr.
Julian Prundeanu for his help in
preparing this article.

SCUBA DIVING
NEWS
by Joseph Lalli
On the boat, four men clad in
wet suits, peer intently into the
murky, flat grey ocean, while be-
low, a diver fumbles over a hun-
dred year old shipwreck.
He scans with his light across the
ocean floor straining to distinguish
a shape.
Suddenly something grabs at his
leg! It is the hand of Bob Weber,
signalling Dave Acton to look at
his booty: three tea cups encrusted
in barnacles.
The divers quickly pull out their
knives to pry tne treasure from the
wreck.
That's the way the dive proceed-
ed, on a brisk 34° Sunday, in April.
There were four other divers that
day: Phil Cole, Warren Curtin,
Dan Daransky, and I.
The boat we used, was designed
primarily for finding wrecks. It was
rigged with several types of depth
finders and sonar.
We made dives on two wrecks
that foundered off Sea Girt, New
Jersey. They are "The Western
World" and "The Thistle".
The once stout wooden beams of
these majestic schooners are now
riddled by sand and time.
Even if the rest of us didn't find
any artifacts, we still enjoyed the
sight of numerous starfish, clams
syphoning the current, swaying red
polyps, and the adventure of being
underwater, seeing it all first hand.
Aggies Now 4-3
by Ed Biddle
Coach John Silan's Aggies posted
their fourth win of the year at Al-
lentown by trouncing the "Mules"
of Muhlenberg by a (10-1) count
on May 1. It was the biggest run-
producing afternoon for the Aggies
this year as Muhlenberg dropped
to a 5-4 record.
A fine team effort highlighted by
the batting and pitching of junior
Bob Polinsky proved too much for
the "Mules". Polinsky now (3-2)
executed his 5th complete game
while collecting 3 hits on 4 trips to
the dish.
The Aggies have 3 games re-
maining: a single encounter host-
ing Lincoln University on May 4
and a double-header at Juniata on
May 6.

Delaware Valley
Even
by Drew Kotalic
After an opening day win over
Drew University, 8-1, and conquest
of Wilkes, 8-4, the Aggie baseball
team was in gear. Powered by
home runs against Drew by Cap-
tain Bricciarelli and Remo, Kevin
Foster picked up his first win in
relief. In a joint effort with Wilkes,
Bob Polinsky rolled to his first vic-
tory of the 72 campaign.
Delaware Valley lost a heart-
breaker to Moravian, 1-0. Polinsky
lost out in the bid giving up two
hits; only one hit reached the out-
field; he also complimented this
performance with 13 strikeouts.
Elizabethtown College cooled
the Aggies' attack with a 5-2 deci-
sion. Dave Ferenchick had two
hits, one a home run, and Polinsky
fanned 12.
Bob Polinsky and Company put
forth an attack to subdue last
year's MAC champs, Upsula, 5-2.
Andy Timko highlightea the con-
test with a triple, coupled with a
strong performance by Polinsky
with 11 strikeouts.
Ursinus stopped the Aggies, 7-6.
Wayne Remo absorbed the loss.
The Aggies post a 3-3 log thus far.
Drew's Views
by Drew Kotalic
As the baseball season continues
here at Delaware Valley, Coach
John Silan has to draw a few con-
clusions. His team has potential,
and it likes to win.
After an excellent game played
against defending MAC champion,
Upsala, Coach Silan has to say Bob
Polinsky is major league material.
He has been the work horse for the
Aggies this year. His statistics are
very impressive. In 36 2/3 innings
pitched, he has 51 strikeouts, and
an earned run average of .963. In
the batting statistics, Kevin Foster
is leading that category with a bat-
ting average of .467, followed by
Gerard Moroz, .385, Dave Feren-
chick, .316, and Wayne Remo, .294.
Also making Coach Silan's life a
little more comfortable has been
Thorn Debrowski's switch from
short stop to center field.

DVC's OPENER A DISAPPOINTMEKT
by Robert Cunningham, Staff Writer
LAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON DELAWARE VALLEY COLLEGE opened its 1972 Season
against Juniata College. It was a disappointing game. Juniata was improved
over last season and we looked sloppy in losing 24 to 14.
Our offense did not mount any scoring threats in the first half. Our line
did not open any holes for Richie Glenn, Floyd Aderfer and John Berne tske.
They can not be expected to run without blocks. Running the middle waa
hopeless and only occasionally did we get the sweep, our favorite running
play, to work. Berne tske ran a few draw plays and a sweep for good
yardage. He looks like a good running mate for Richie Glenn.
Poor pass blocking also helped Jim Foote throw three interceptions and
have an off afternoon with only 11 completions in 30 attempts.
Juniata* 8 defense not only pulled down two Foote passes and set up a touch-
down pass off one, but they set up another touchdown when they forced Glenn
to fusible when hit in the backfield.
By half time the score was 21 to 0.
Just like last year- -when we got warmed up we played good ball. Our defense
forced two fumbles in a row, and after the second fumble we moved the ball
26 yards to score. With the two-point play we were behind 21-8.
A bit later our defense held Juniata on their own three yard line where Jim,
Foote put them (with a great punt). When they punted we got the ball on
their 54 and seven plays later we scored to make it a game at 21-14. By
the *tj | we lack an extra point kicker which is why we had to settle for
six points. ,
A* FAfT AS WE SCORED, JUNIATA SCORED. On a trap up the middle, MacXeil
qwUagod to run 49 yards to our 22. Our defense held but Juniata managed
a fiald goal and the score held up- -24- 14.
The rest of the afternoon was for the defenses; nobody moved the ball!
Overall, the game was 6 loppy. Juniata lost three fumbles and we gave up
three interceptions and one fumble.
Juniata's quarterback Shope showed that he's got an arm and even under a
good pass rush he managed two touchdown passes. I'ss mention here that our
defensive backfield looked as if they were on vacation. Juniata's receivers
were open all day, and if it hadn't been for our defensive line, Shope
would have had more than two T.D.s.
A summary of D.V.C.'s afternoon is a mixture of promises and mistakes.
OVERALL WE LOOKED SLOPPY %UT TALENTED AND WITH FEWER MISTAKES WE COULD
TURN AROUND AND WIN OUR LAST SEVEN GAMES.

D.V.C. DUMPS MORAVIA
by Robert <_ r > ..-1%2«m, Staff Spotr, Editor
Saturday afternoon we went into oiv g/.rae against Hera*' au ^..s IVpoir.t underdogs.
By the game's end we were :":?V/e po'o'. favorites] *. T itl\ en overpowering ground game <#
and an aggressive defence kk w>r our home urentr 2.5-21.
Je developed a strong running gatae early and up-*d the p*sa only when tiee-Jpd, The
Aggie offense ran 91 plays to KoraviAf. 1 ? 6u and raantged 14 first downs to our
opponents' 11.
Floyd Aderfer was outstanding with 13 carries for 1.6? y*rda. On* run ;*enr 8C yards
for a touchdown, and another touchdown ca.ee on a barnyard plunge, O^r ground ^aire
was balanced by G'enn's 21 carries zor 17. yards arvl a tcunhiowa a,id Benweejia-'a 46
yards on 14 carries.
Our dffonsive line was OUCStBndlng and cnaued holes for o*ir back» all day in addi-
tion to giving Jim FooUe goon pass protection.
Although our game plan denuded mostly cr onr running hacks, it was the threat of
our passing game that made ruunieg a little easvJL?-.* . Fee. ce was 7 for IS and his
7-yard touchdown to Kevin Poster was o*-r firat score.
\1 though Foster and Koenig had only 2 re rep lions each, they bo;:h played fine games
and their blocking was also a kay to v&x ground at tacit.
Our defense gave up 258 yatdc to the Greyhounds but much cf this c.*ne on an 80-yard
touchdown pass to their halfback Mr.r:Uh, whe made a :*a:>t/>..s<:ic i-n^nd-v* cacch. rnj
\ 60-yard drive mounter! lte in the gStta W*ri* helped a'.c.ig by % questionable inter-
ference call on Jim Maloncy in tbe end sore- OthattffSda a good defensive effort was
ed by Al Lehman, Pay Johnson and Al Bartlebeitfjh, Ciir p*?o Je£ense sssmed more alive
his week with Lehnan and Evans each getting an itftero.epLior 1 . Evan's interception
et up a touchdown!
oravian's fir3t toushdowi. followed a Focte fumble on our 6-yard lino, which can't be
lamed on our defense— or Foote for tbat matter; he was hit trying to pass.
ast week we showed our talent and aggressiveness an^ ccr.ssquontiy looked good,
ome out and see another greet football game this Saturday at alumni Field against
lhlenburg.

WAPO ON AIR
Three years ago, A ^ started out as c. suggestion at an A.'..^. meeting. I was a pledge
at the tine and had done similar work at hone, and the fraternity was asking for pledge
projects; so I volunteered to be chairman for A .^. o obtained a room in the Alumni
• louse, and the brothers fi:;ed it up to look a little better than it had. The first year
there, we operated with a staff of about 15 and were on the air with hor.s built equipment
from 7:30 pn to 11 J0C pm.
The second year, with the halp of a loan of $171
from the adninistratidn, A. u purchased
two new transmitters and three miles of wire and hooked everything up. It did work but
was plaqued with problems the whole year. This year with a gift of $5c; from the admin-
istration arid a bigger room to use, A.. I is back again, not without problems however.
The cartridges we are using for the turntables do not work the way they should resulting
in inferior quality sound and frequently no sound at all. This I hope to resolve shortly.
The squirrels have also played a major role in the station's headaches. They seem to
think that the wires which carry our audio signal have been erected for their use between
trees. Unfortunately, the /ires are not strong enough to support their weight, and twice
I have awakened to the sound of silence and found a /ire hanging somewhere. This creates
internal hemorrhage in our amplifier and we have, so far, only burned one up.
vti" A10 staff are about 55 people, so, hopefully, this year /ill be our best. .'e are
trying a lot of different ideas, and if anybody else has any, I would appreciate them.
This year we hope to bring you live away basketball games, music to the cafeteria and
student center. It should be a good year.

The Board of Trustees, the -resident, and the Chemistry Faculty of Delaware Valley
Co J lege are pleased to announce that the College lias been listed among the colleges
approved by the American Chemical Society.
The American Chemical Society recognition is an important chapter in the history of
the Chemistry Department at Delaware VaPey College which first offered the Chemistry
degree program in 1951. -rofessor Lionel Adelson, Chairman of the Division of Science,
and Dr. Robert ~rr, Chariman of the Chemistry Department, expanded on the importance of
this accreditation.
(over)
Irofessor Adelson explained that rtudents who have majored in Chemistry and who hc.ve
fulfilled the requirements for a professional chemical education as adopted by the
Society are eligible for admission as members of the Society following graduation,, and .
after two years of active participation in the field of chemistry.
Dr. Crr pointed out that statistics have bean shown that employment opportunities are
enhanced for students who have graduated from 6n American Cher.ica!. Society accredited
department and who have bean certified by the Chemistry Department Chairman to the
American Chemical Society. ? his sane opportunity holds true for candidates :;ho pursue
graduate :/ork for advanced degrees in chemistry.
Dr. err concluded that the accrediation is the result of the efforts of the Chem Depart-
ment working closely with the College Administration since the summer of 1563 to meet the
high standards of the American Chemical Society. Accreditation is based on the facili-
ties available for the chemistry program including laboratory and lecture space, as well
as instrumentation used for instruction and research. Other criteria considered are the
number or" faculty member's in the department, their degrees, the curriculum, including
elective options, chemistry library holdings, and finally the professional careers
selected by chemistry students once they complete the degree program.

Cn Thursday, September ?.I, ?: students initiated the first stage of a process • that .may
change their lives. They investigated the possibility of becoming inmate, or probation^
counselors in one of the most progressive correctional systems in, the United Stages.
rv - ,
The Ducks County Citizens 1 Committee for Corrections and .lahabilitatipn^put^out a. ca.U
for volunteer counselors to work at the prison. Those-., students attending the infor-
mative meeting discovered that they will be capable of accomplishing; several goals as
counselors^ • - :• , , ... , •
1." Serve their fellow men,
2. Break away from the daily routine of college life,.
3. Constructively demonstrate a sense of responsibility and maturity,
4. Initiate ; a cH&nge in their own life, style by helping other men change their lives.
As a counselor, one needs only to volunteer t;;o hours per .;eek with an inmate or pro-
bationer, -"'r'ior to' counseling, each prospective, volunteer riust attend a training week-
end where he or she 7 earns to utilize the methodol.ogy of an inmate counselor. . ."
The next training session will be held ^ctober 5, 7, and 3 in the Jury ...ounge of the
Court 'louse. For further information about counseling, contact the Volunteer's office
at 343-532o, or Dave Acton '73, 345-1133* •

\ T -ATE'.L, a man, if he is wise, discovers that life is a mi-cture of good
days: and bad, victory and defeat, give and take. ~le learns that it doesn't
pay to. be too sensitive a soul, that he should let sone things 30 over his head
Like water off a due's bach. la learns that all men have burnt toast for break-
fast now and then, and that he shouldn't take the other fellow's grouch too
seriously. Ud learns that carrying a chip on his shoulder is the easiest /ay to
get in a fight. He learns that the quickest way to become unpopular is to carry
tales and gossip about others.
He learns that buck-passing always turns out to be a boomerang and that it never
pays. He comes to realize that the business could run along perfectly well
without him. T Ie learns that it doesn't matter so much who gets the credit so long
as the business benefits. lie learns that even the janitor is human and that it does
no harm to smile and say "Good Horning" even if it is raining.
Me learns that most of the other fellows are as ambitious as he is, that they
have brains as good or better, and that hard workn not cleverness is the secret
of success. lie learns to sympathize with the Freshnan coning into school, be-
cause he remembers how bewildered he /as when he first started out. Me learns not
to worry when he bums out an e*:am, because experience has shown that if he gives
his best, his average will break pretty well.
He learns that no ran ever got to first base alone and that it is only through
cooperative effort that we move on to better things. 'la learns that professors
are not monsters, trying to bust your rocks, but they are usually pretty good
fellows who have succeeded through hard ;ork and who want to help you. T Ie learns
that folks are not any harder to get along with in one place than another, and that
the "gatting along" depends about 93% on his own betiavior.

"obert Cunningham, Staff Sports Editor
~ight turnovers and a well-called offensive game helped bring a victory to our
overpowering football team. The victims this week were the uules of Muhlenburg;
the score was 35-1^.
liuhlenburg scored first on a 30-yard pass play that came four plays after a great
punt return that put the ball 15 yards behind where Jim Foote kicked it. This
/as the last tine the liules /ould be near scoring until late in the fourth period
/hen they would block a punt by ..eroy ^attars on our si:;-yard line.
In between those two scores oor defense and offense both sparkled.
-ettars recovered a fumbla which set up the tying score by our second team back-
field when . 2vin Foster ran a two-yard bootleg for our first si;' points. .Uch
iUdgway and Frad lackman, behind great blocking, put two drives together and
showed everyone that our freshman backs can run too.

The CStf, Tv'lT. SwCIET:: reports a very good freshman turnout at their first meeting this

Our second sc^re came on a 2-yard plunge by aderfer, and we weftt in with a
lt»-7 haii'time' lead. ' j . •■
We fumbled the second half kickoff but our defense countered with a recovered
fumble Cur defence, sputtering, gave up the ball to the Mules on a Richard ...
Glenn Fumble. Our defense forced- a punt.

The ^all exchanged lands and we punted. A good Foote punt drove the receiver
back; and when he misjudged the punt R-iok Koenig was on 'the fumble! Sixteen --
yards later Aderfer T s 2-yard drive made it 21-7.

On the kickoff Ray Johnson was the first man £o move the ball, and the Aggies
were back in business but could not m/>ve.
We punted and on the next play Jim Mai one y intercepted a long pas.s. The
Aggies moved the ball in from mid-field with Rich Glenn going the last
yard. 28-"~ •

SEGAL HALL STUDENT CENTER
NEW STUDENT CENTER
DAVE CHARRIER, Staff Reporter
With the beginning of this 1972-73 school year,
the new Agricultural Building wasn't the only one
that opened; the new Student Center opened. The
upperclassmen will remember that the Student Center
used to be located in Eisner Hall behind the Cafe.
Now it's located in the center of the campus in
Segal Hall. Built in 1906, Segal Hall has gone
through a series of changes, the latest, from
classrooms and labs to a student center.
The idea was conceived last April and with only
one summer to work, the 'center' came to life. In-
side, the students can find the Student Store in
the basement which sells school supplies, college
shirts, records and tapes, and other things for the
students. Hie store's hours are 11-1 weekdays and
5-7 (except Friday). Mr. McClelland' s placement
office and Mr. Hedges' alumni office are also down-
stairs.
On the first floor in the main room is the
lounge with couches, chairs and a T.V. There are
also tables for studying, and Men' s and Ladies'
bathrooms. In the side room is the Commuter Mail
Box where notices and memos are sent to the com-
muters. A cigarette and four vending machines are
also in this room. You can buy candy, soda, hot
drinks, and sandwiches; use the micro-wave oven for
the sandwiches. A change machine is in there, too.
A unique addition is the rr£L juke box which keeps
the center rocking most of the day. In the third
room is the game room with a variety of game
machines.
There are three small rooms upstairs where RAP,
scuba club, and other small clubs meet. The rooms
are big enough to hold 25-30 people. The school's
radio station, WAFO is also upstairs.
The hours of the 'Center' are:
Sunday to Thursday 7AM - 12 midnight
Friday & Saturday 7AM - 2AM

Farm Policies of Richard II.
Nixon and George S. McGovern
KEITH JORDAN, Staff Reporter
You Agriculture majors who will be voting Nov.
7 might be interested in the farm policies of the
two major candidates. Who becomes President may
well affect your future in agriculture, so farm
policies should be a major, although of course not
the only, consideration.
Mr. Nixon tends to favor big business, so it is
not surprising to see that he favors agribusiness
and farm cooperatives rather than the traditional
family farm. One demonstration of this is that he
chose Earl But as his secretary of agriculture.
The nomination of Butz met stiff opposition from
spokesmen for family, farms for he was assistant
secretary under and great follower of Ezra Taft
Benson (the scourge of the family farmer) and later
a director of the Ralston Purina Company.' A slogan
attributed to Butz in reference to family farmers
is 'adopt or perish.' Now he is indentifying him-
self more with the family farmer. Whether he was
really changed is rather doubtful, but it is pos-
sible (you may recall a man by the name of Walter
Hicket).
Senator McGovern, although known primarily for
his positions on such things as Vietnam and amnesty,
is also considered to be a great spokesman for the
family farmer, at least in his home state of South
Dakota. If this is any indication, he wins farm
ballots in that state 2 to 1. McGovern sponsored
the Family Farm Act of 1972, which is designed to
keep nonfarm giants from taking over the agricul-
ture system. McGovern has promised to raise parity
to 90% whereas Butz has declared that the parity
concept is outmoded.

LAKE ARCHER

OIL SPILL on LlkE ARCHER
GEORGE H. KLEIN, Staff Reporter
200 dollars was lost in Lake Archer. On August
10, 1972, D.V.C. 's Lake Archer was filled with
1,000 gallons of fuel oil valued at 20<f a gallon
by Sinkler Oil Company. The accident has been
determined a human error; The delivery man had
never delivered any fuel oil to D.V.C. before and
filled the drain pipe from the new Ag. Building
rather than filling the oil tank.
The spill occured at 10 o'clock in the morning;
by 12 o'clock the Sinkler Oil Company had their men
working on the lake and by 3 o'clock specialists
from Camden, N.J., were correcting the oil spill.
The first action taken was blocking up the lake
to prevent the oil from traveling down stream
causing more damage. Next they placed floatation
rings around the oil gathered it to the center of
the lake and pumped it out. Tlie oil that remained
was removed with sponges. The men from Sinkler Oil
Company and the specialists worked 24 hours on the
lake. The Doylestown fire marshall came down to
guard against any possibility of fire.
No damage has been done to the wildlife in the
pond although some adjacent grass was destroyed.
Authorities say that the turf will grow back. The
lake still has a slight film around its perimeter,
but this is of no major problem. The department
of environmental resources and the department of
Conservation have corresponded with D.V.C. and
stated that a satisfactory job was done.
The Ram would like to compliment Sinkler Oil
Company for giving every possible effort towards
doing a proper and efficient job of cleaning up
lake Archer.
NEW STUDENT CENTER cont. from pg. I
Right now it's all kind of bare, but Frank
Post, who is co-manager with Paul Neslanik, says
that 'it's just a matter of time for the improve-
ments'. The Student Government is assisted by the
Administration in their help.
Proposed improvements are: drapes, a rug, more
couches, lounge chairs, a pay phone and studying
tables. These can be moved out of the way if any
dances or coffee houses are held.
What do you think of the 'Center' having the
first TV on campus? Your answer may be, 'How long
will it last?', which leads me to an important part
of this article.
Although the 'Center' has been open only 3
weeks, damage is already evident. A tomato stain
on the wall, a broken chair, and a broken couch
leg. Students complain about the mess at the end
of the day, but they don' t say anything to those
who are making the mess. The 'Center' is there
for the Students' use and enjoyment, but let's not
get carried away' Those on the Student Government
Student Center Committee are Jack Facciolo, Jim
Lutz and Warren Curtin. They can be contacted for
any suggestions you may have.
There is a great deal of potential in the center
as long as it is taken care of. With combined
efforts of everyone the Student Center will remain
an important feature, both physically and socially,
to this campus and to the students.

Itl-Til Mill CHE ME
GUY LEIGHTON, Staff Reporter
Mr. Louis Hegyes was named Director of Alumni
Affairs this year. Mr. Hegyes has been associated
with Delaware Valley for many years. After gradu-
ating from Kennedy High School in Iselin, N.J., he
entered Del Val majoring in Ornamental Horticul-
ture. Mr Hegyes was very active in sports and was
named most valuable runner in both his junior and
senior years. Mr. Hegyes was captain of the track
team and sports editor of THE RAM. During his
senior year he participated in the work-study pro-
gram by working in the office admissions.
Following graduation in 1971 Mr. Hegyes joined
the admissions department full time. Part of his
work was to do recruiting for Del Val. He visited
many schools in the North Jersey area for that
reason.
Mr. Hegyes wants to revitalize the alumni
office. Because of his age, he feels he can be a
good mediator between students and administration;
he is also a freshman counselor this year.
The Alumni Office organizes Homecoming and other
alumni events. The office also compiles a bi-
annual publication called the Alumni News Bulletin.
This magazine contains pictures and articles about
events at Del Val as well as information about its
graduates.
An annual giving campaign is organized by the
Alumni Office each year. Contributions are needed
because student fees pay only 56.1% of the Col-
lege's expenses. The campaign begins in July by
sending a booklet to 3200 alumni. This booklet
explains the need lor contributions. last year the
college received approximately $28,000 in con-
tributions. Half was contributed by alumni. The
other half was contributed by large corporations.
Mr. Hegyes hopes that both alumni and big business
will contribute more. He especially wants big
business to contribute more since they have the tax
advantages of contributing to Del Val, a non-profit
institution. Mr. Hegyes also thinks Corporations
should contribute more because they depend on Del
Val for col lege- trained employees.
The average alumni contribution has remained
the same through the years. The overall contri-
butions have increased because there are more
alumni every year. Mr. Hegyes hopes the individual
contribution will also start rising. Each class,
all the way back to 1909, has a class agent who is
in (barge ol contributions from his class. The
most successful agent is Mr. Richard Woodring of
the class of 1934 who has been able to get 95% of
his class to contribute. The money that is contri-
buted either goes towards the 'area of greatest
need' or the endowment fund.
Mr. Hegyes' office is located in the lower level
of Segal Hall; he would be happy to answer any
questions about alumni or contributions.
SCOTT PUSHES liir WILDLIFE
U.S. Senator Hugh Scott (R-Pa. ) called for
quick passage of a bill strengthening the "enforce-
ment authority' that prohibits the shooting of
animals from aircraft.
Specifically, this legislation authorizes em-
ployes of the Department of the Interior to arrest
violators without a warrant when the violation is
done in their presence.
"The wanton destruction of wildlife from air-
craft has led to the near-extinction of the Ameri-
can eagle in the West,' Senator Scott explained.
'This problem extends also to the southwest where
wild mustangs are slaughtered for 'sport* from air-
craft. I know that the thousands of sportsmen of
Pennsylvania would not call this horrendous prac-
tice 'sport',' he added.
This legislation would amend and strengthen an-
other bill which made it unlawful for anyone to
shoot or attempt to shoot any animal from an air-
craft. 'Hunters and fishermen of Pennsylvania
have long been strong advocates of conservation,
not only in the Commonwealth, but nationwide.
'The extinction of helpless creatures would not be
condoned in Pennsylvania and must not be allowed no
continue elsewhere,' the Senate Leader emphasized.

Change Die System
of Tuition Increases
AN EDITORIAL COMMENT
KEITH JORDAN, Staff Reporter
The system of tuition increases used by Deleware
Valley College should be replaced by a system in
which the student will know before he applies to
the college what he will be paying his four years
here. At present the cost of tuition, room, board,
etc., which is announced in the college catalog is
usually not the same as what the cost is by the
time the student is a freshman here. It is then
increased again when he is a sophmore, again when
he is a junior, and again in his senior year.
I propose that this be changed so that the cost
announced in the catalog the year an applicant
applies be the cost of the four years he will be a
student here. The cost can still be raised the
next year and this cost will be effective tor the
next year's applicants. In this way an applicant
will know in advance what he must pay for each of
his four years, and may decide on this college
rather than one in which the cost may increase so
much that by his senior year he is paying hundreds
of dollars more than the catalog announced.
Reduce Pot Penalties-Canada
(CPS)--The Canadian government is expected
to reduce penalties for simple possission of
marijuana later this year.
Under legislation to be introduced to the
Canadian parliament in the current session, the
maximum penalty would drop to $200 for first
offenders and to $400 for subsequent offences.
Conviction for trafficking of any drugs, includ-
ing marajuana, and possession of narcotics will
still bring stiff fines and/or jail sentences-- for
instance, up to seven years in jail for smuggling.
Under current law amendments, judges are able
to direct that a person found guilty of simple
possession be discharged without any criminal
record, or undertake probation conditions.
The Canadian department of justice has instruct-
ed all criminal prosicutors in cannabis cases to
urge courts to decide this way, if there is no
concurrent conviction for other offences and no
previous criminal record..
The transfer of marijuana from the Narcotics
Control Act to the lesser penalized Food and Drug
Act followed the final report of the Commission
into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs, headed by
chairman Gerard IeDain.
The report, tabled earlier this year, recommend-
ed removal of all penalties for possession of
marijuana or cultivation for personal use, while
the actual drug remained illegal.
This was the commission's Catch 22-- making it
legal to possess an illegal drug.
But the Liberal Party government under Pierre
Trudeau has emphasized that it will not consider
any form of legalization.
Instead, it has separated marijuana from more
dangerous drugs by changing their classification,
and will retain illegal possession laws to deter
new users.
Pressure for changes in Canadian marijuana laws
may have come from mounting convictions for
marijuana use, as well as the LeDain report.
Last year, convictions for simple possession of
of marijuana in Canada totalled 7,052-- of thesr
only 570 were jailed, and only 15 of the latter
landed in prison on a first offence.

PHILADELPHIA -- A Nigerian-born animal care-
taker at Thomas Jefferson University has won the
Technician Scholarship Award of the American
Association for Laboratory Animal Science.
He is Etim B. Emah, 29, recipient of $500
dollars to further his education in laboratory
animal science. He is a full-time senior student
at Delaware Valley College of Science and Agricul-
ture in Doylestown, Pa., where he is majoring in
animal husbandry.
Mr. Emah was born in Calabar, located in the
southeastern portion of Nigeria. He plans to
return there, after obtaining a master of science
degree, both to work with research animals and to
teach at a local university. Until then, he
intends to continue his part-time employment in
Jefferson's large animal-care facility.
Mr. J. Rodger Heaton, Director of Jefferson's
Central Animal Facilities, offered Mr. Emah's
nomination. He said in a letter to the Delaware
Valley Branch of the association that he has
never before been so impressed with a young man's
efforts to obtain his educational objectives.'
Mr. Heaton pointed out that the student is
financing the entire cost of his education through
self employment. Mr. Emah has been working summers

'It would seem uniquely appropriate for the
American Association of Laboratory Animal Sciences
to provide this scholarship assistance to an
individual who will put his technology to work in a
country which undoubtedly is not as advanced in
this field as is the United States,' Mr. Heaton
wrote.
Mr. Emah says his employer has given him a high
sense of belonging and has aided him greatly in
pursuing his professional goals.
TIME RUNNING 111
State Senator Robert A. Rovner (R-
Philadelphia) hit the nail squarely on the head
when he declared recently: "It is is necessary
for the Pennsylvania legislature to act favorably
on the subject of 18-year-old drinking in the very
near future."
His warning is timely. Just about three
months from now, New Jersey will lower its
legal drinking age to 18. Thus our neighboring
state will become the fifteenth state in the union
to fall into step with the continuing movement
throughout the nation to grant adult rights to 18-
year-olds. A number of other states have set the
legal drinking age at 19.
Pennsylvania, however, although it has
adopted legislation to give all the privileges of
adulthood to 18-year-olds, has refused to include
that of purchasing or consuming alcoholic
beverages.
Representative Rovner sees the change in
New Jersey's law on January 1 putting pressure
on the Pennsylvania legislature to change its
attitude toward 18-year-old drinking.
Rovner pointed out that with New Jersey
lowering its drinking age, young people can now
travel to three surrounding states to buy or
consume alcohol. "With this thought in mind,"
Rovner said, "I will support the bill to allow 18-
year-olds to drink in Pennsylvania because it is a
lot safer to keep the young people in our state
than to force them to drive across state lines."
Rovner was referring to the fact that New York
and West Virginia, both contiguous states to
Pennsylvania alrea'dy have lowered their
drinking age so that with the addition of New
Jersey on January 1, there will be three
surrounding states from which young folks can
purchase liquor.
In announcing his intention to push for
adoption of the 18-year-old drinking measure,
Rovner made it clear that while he was not
saying that "18-year-olds should drink, but if
they do we should keep them in Pennsylvania
rather than force them to drive distances out of
the state."
Rovner, of course, is not alone in his stand;
Governor Milton Shapp has also made it known
that he endorses 18-year-old drinking privileges.
It is not too late for the legislature to
reconsider and include the right to buy and
consume alcoholic beverages as a proper
privilege for 18 year-olds who are otherwise
considered mature enough to make contracts,
marry without parental consent and to hold jobs
as police or firemen and to enjoy all of the
privileges of an adult.
Such a change in the recently enacted
legislation would keep Pennsylvania abreast of
the times; it would make Pennsylvania more
respected and would ease the minds of a lot of
parents who are now thinking of their 18-year-
olds driving across nearby state lines for the
purpose of buying liquor and do not relish the
idea at all.

The homecoming parade was cancelled due to rain.
With all the rain on Friday and Saturday six of our
clubs managed to have floats for homecoming. A lot
of thought and work went into the production of
each float. The floats showed what effort was put
into each, and the finished products gave a good
indication that quite a few people worked hard and
long hours. Several clubs were not able to com-
plete their floats, yet their efforts should be
appreciated.
The Dairy Society was responsible for this
year's No. 1 float which gave them $75. The title
of the float was 'SPIRIT PRODUCES POWER TO
DEFEAT LIONS'. The center of attraction was
a large cow, with winking eyes and a swishing tail
eating her hey. The theme as written by the Dairy
Society was as follows:
'MISS D.V.C. SPIRIT', an animated Holstein
Cow eredted by the Delaware Valley College
Dairy Society, represents the producer of
the world's most perfect food, milk.
'SPIRIT' will give our Aggies spirit and
poser to defeat the Albright Lions.
'SPIRIT' also shows others what the main
interest of our association is on campus.'

HOMECOMING PARADE cont. from pg. 5
The second place prize of $50 went to the
Ornimental Horticulture Society. The float held
six words; solidarity, purpose, innovation,
responsibility, integrity and tradition which
together spelled out SPIRIT. Also on the float
were articles representing every major at D.V.C.
The truck pulling the float displayed the schools
alma mater. The theme of the O.H. float:
'SPIRIT OF THE 76th' 'The Ornamental
Horticulture float duplicates the spirit of
the 76th. The spirit, arises, on pedestals,
from the solid foundation of knowledge,
practical experence and careful observation,
a foundation on which 76 years of spirit
have been built. '
Third place and $25 went to the Agronomy Club.
Their float showed a large boat in water containing
people from all walks of life. Their theme
explains well the meaning of their float.
'IN THE SAME BOAT' 'In the same boat
is the Agronomy Club's answer to the spirit
of the 76th. The idea is taken from
Washington crossing the Delaware in his
spirit of 76. He was on his way to victory.
We in the float are hoping to demonstrate
by our fellowship a feeling of solidarity
and purpose. We too are on our way to
victory, in what could be a painful battle
to win an education.
We hope to learn from our college's 76 years
so that we can help make America a better
place to live. '
The Equine Club received honorable mention.
'STAMP THE LION' was the name of the float and
also describes what the float was about, a mighty
steed stamping the Lion of Albright. Their theme
Was:
'This float created by the members of the
D.V.C. Equine Club relresents the SPIRIT
with which they support the team.
Our spirited friend here is showing us what
our team is going to do to the Albright
Lions this afternoon.'
The Horticulture Society made a float showing
an Aggie cutting a furrow. He was surrounded by
many horticultural products and followed by the
seal of D.V.C.
"The theme of the Horticulture Society float
is tradition at D.V.C. The plow is cutting
a furrow which symbolizes the tradition of
seeking new and better ideas than what
appear on the surface. The horticultural
products shown on the float are traditionally
associated sith autumn. The seal is the
traditional symbol of the college.'
Block and Bridle had a float with our school
mascot, Ceasar, and boughs of laurel for victory.
Ceasar is much more than a regular ram shown by
the theme of the float.
'Ceasar... a symbol of tradition. Through
the 76 years of college football, he has
carried on the reputation and honor of the
college, charging onto victories as well as
bearing proud defeat.
He is the driving force of the school,
representing the spirit within each student
as he travels through his academic and
social development, onto a well-rounded and
and productive individual of society. '
Everyone working on this year's homecoming floats
should be commended. Not only did each float look
good, but each float had a meaningful and well-
thought-out theme.

ENVIRONMENT and Nixon
MIKE STEWART, Staff Reporter
When President Nixon first took office,
our government was seriously lacking in en-
vironmental agencies, so the President organ-
ized the following ones: Evironmental Pro-
tection Agency (EPA), Council on Environ-
mental Quality (CEQ), and the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA). After this the President had the
following laws put into effect that would
limit air pollution: by 1975 90% of all emis-
sions must be out of auto exhaust, levied a
tax on those industries doing excess pollution,
and controlled the emissions on jet planes.
In the area of water pollution our Presi-
dent has also been active, since he enforced a
little used law and brought 100 civil and 320
criminal suits against excess water polluters.
Also in the area of national parks Nixon
plans to turn little-used government land over
to the local governments for recreation areas,
as well as to set up national recreation areas
around New York harbor and San Francisco
Bay.

7) Phasing of Highway Trust Fund into

"The Nixon Administration has paid lip
service to the need to improve the environ-

day we sec another case of the power of the
vested interests overriding the public interest.

In May of 1972, the D.V.C. co-eds were
given Cooke Hall as their dormitory. Four
months later, forty-four girls moved into the
first women's dorm on the D.V.C. campus.
There were a few alterations made- the show-
ers got curtains and the lavatories were en-
closed-but other than these few modifica-
tions, Booke Hall remained unchanged.
Most of the girls, expecially those who
had lived off-campus the previous years, really
appreciate the dorm. But as much as we're
happy with having it, many of us realize that
there are certain things we'd like to see
changed. Curfew hours and the male visitation
policy are two areas that most of us fell
should be reviewed and brought up to date.
Once a month, the girls meet with Mrs.
Porter, adviser to women, and Mrs. Gulick,
our housemother, to discuss any problems we
have that occur both in and out of the dorm.
During a recent meeting many points were
brought up for consideration. There were
many suggestions made as to changes both in
curfew hours and the visitation policy. The
hours for the co-eds, as they stand now, are
12:00 a.m. Sunday-Thursday, and 2:00 a.m.
Friday and Saturday. Most of the girls feel
that these restrictions are too severe; many
feel we should have the same privileges as the
male students. Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Work
both stated that the various suggestions would
be looked into and that we would receive
word of any changes sometime in the near
future.

I id nam IVlire Against Hie
II .1 r riissmriil
Denver, Colorado (CPS)--When Johnny came
marching home this time, he really started to
raise hell, unci the U.S. government didn't
like it at all.
It's difficult for any government to wage
a war which thousands of returning soldiers
not only disavow, but also spend much time
and energy trying to stop. Since its inception
at a Washington, D.C. anti-war demonstration
in the spring of l c )72, the Vietnam Veterans
Against the War ( VVAW) has been one of the
most vocal organizations against the war in
Vietnam.
VVAW spokesmen claim that the govern-
ment has initiated a policy of "harrassment
and repression" toward VVAW and its indivi-
dual members. The most recent event in this
conflict was a conspiracy indictment filed
against six VVAW members by a federal grand
jury in Tallahassee, Florida.
Last July, John Kniffin and Robert
Wayne Beverly were planning to take part in
demonstrations at the Democratic convention
in Miami Beach. Shortly before the conven-
tion they, along with 23 other VVAW mem-
bers, were subpoened by the grand jury. Most
of the veterans, according to Kniffin, thought
the government was simply trying to keep
them out of Miami.
But the government had other plans. On
July 13, an indictment was issued stating that
six of the men, along with "diverse other per-
sons, known and unknown to the grand jury,"
were planning to "organize, promote, encour-
age and participate in a riot" in Miami on or
about August 21.
The indictment also charged that the six
men were part of a plot to attack police sta-
tions, police cars and stores with lead weights,
fried marbles, cherry and smoke bombs fired
by rocket wrist sling shots and crossbows.
Kniffin, one of those indicted, recently
told CPS that the government's prime motive
is harrassment, not getting a conviction."
Even the government, according to Knif-
fin, can't expect the VVAW to "go up against
the 82nd Airborn with sling shots and cross-
bows."
Kniffin, who is presently out of jail on
$25,000 bond, views the government's pur-
pose as three-fold. The government wants to
discredit the organization, intimidate the
members of VVAW and tie up the time and
money put into the VVAW.
Kniffen and Beverly, who is named as a
co-conspirator in the indictment, also charged
that the Tallahassee affair represents a misuse
of the grand jury's function.
"A grand jury," Kniffin explained, "is
supposed to meet to determine if there is
enough evidence to issue an indictment, The
grand jury in Tallahassee was a fishing ex-
pedition."
Beverly said that the grand jury foreman
repeatedly told him that "the grand jury al-
ways abides by the government's decision."
Both men contended that the govern-
ment has a good source of information con-
cerning VVAW because the organization is
heavily infiltrated with government informers.
The informers aren't sought out, according to
Kniffin, because they usually bring in one
thing that the organization needs: money.
The government informer who figures
heavily in the Tallahassee ease is Bill Lemmer.
liar Charoe Government
Lemmer, according to Kniffin and Beverly,
became a government informer after he made
a deal to get out of a narcotics arrest in Col-
umbus, Georgia. Lemmer was provided with
money and a car in exchange for his services.
According to Kniffin, Lemmer told
Scott Camil, another of the co-defendents,
that he was ordered by the FBI to infiltrate the
VVAW and "attain a position of leadership."
Lemmer also told VVAW members that
the government planned to arrest the VVAW
hierarchy, disrupt the Republican convention
and use the resulting turmoil as a excuse to
arrest left-wing radicals.
Kniffin said that Lemmer made these
disclosures before the VVAW members were
subpoened and "the whole thing sounded a
little too paranoid." After the subpoenas were
issued, Kniffin said the VVAW members fig-
gured there could be two reasons for Lem-
mer's statements.
It could be true, Kniffin said, or it could
be part of a government "self-fulfilling proph-
ecy."
"The government thinks they know how
we'll react," Kniffin explained, "because they
trained us. Possibly they thought by having
Lemmer tell us something like this they
would provoke us into action."
If the objective of the VVAW was vio-
lence at the Republican convention, Kniffin
said, the potential was there. But it didn't
happen, and Kniffin claims that the only
VVAW members who seriously worked for
violence were government informers.
Kniffin charged that one identified in-
former came into the VVAW camps and urged
actions which were "almost taken verbatim
from the indictment."
In another instance, according to Knif-
fin, two informers urged the crowd, mostly
Yippies and Zippies, to storm the fence of the
convention hall. These same two informers,
using the pseudonyms of Jerry Rubin and
Harry Collins, threatened Alton Foss, one of
the co-defendents indicted by the grand jury,
saying that if he did not testify against the
other members he would be arrested on a nar-
cotics charge.
Foss was on probation for a previous
drug arrest, and was advised by VVAW law-
yers to leave Miami and come to Gainsville.
Foss was indicted with the other VVAW
members, released on $25,000 bond and im-
mediately re-arrested for passing one LSD tab-
let to the same two informers.
Kniffin charged that the government also
used informers' information to pick the time
of the grand jury subpoenas: the VVAW
didn't have the money to post bond and the
government knew it.
The "government was slightly chagrin-
ed," according to Beverly, when the $125
thousand in bond money was raised quickly,
mostly in the Tallahassee-Gainsville area. The
problem: the trial, set in Gainesville "some-
time after the election" will cost from $250
to $275 thousand.
Presently Kniffin and Beverly are travel-
ing across the U.S., explaining the VVAW case
to the people. Waging a propaganda war with
the U.S. government, however, isn't easy.
The government, according to Kniffin
provided a NEWSWEEK reporter with a large
stack of government papers concerning the
Tallahassee case. The reporter called the in-

dieted veterans to get their side of the story,
but his eopy was rewritten by somebody fur-
ther up on the editorial hierarchy of the mag-
azine.
VVAW spokesmen claim that there has
been an increase in government interference
in the last few months: in Texas, 1 18 VVAW
members were arrested for marching without
a permit; in Colorado a paraplegic vet was
arrested for assulting a police officer; and in
Boston a double amputee VVAW member was
arrested on a narcotics charge.
"There's no doubt that he was an ad-
dict," Kniffin said, "but he became addicted
to pain killers because of his service to his
country/'
The initial government response to the
group's formation was to deny the existence
of veterans who opposed the war. Because of
this, it has become standard policy for VVAW
members to. carry proof that they actually
had been in the service and in Vietnam.
Perhaps one of the reasons that the gov-
ernment has taken such a stand against the
VVAW is because, of all the ariti-war organiza-
tions, it has been the most successful in reach-
ing middle-class Americans.
"After all," Kniffin explained, "we'd
have had to be red necks, or we wouldn't have
volunteered to go to Vietnam."

AN EDITORIAL
BY
ANNE WEXI.ER, Director-
NationaJ Voter Registration Drive
Critical questions confront the eleven
million newly enfranchised voters approach-
ing the ballot box. Has the man elected on a
promise to end the war broken faith with the
American people? Can the American people
stomach the war now that the color of the
bodies has changed? Has the sense of moral
outrage over napalming and bombing been ex-
hausted? Do the nominations of Carswell and
Haynesworth to the highest court mark a
planned retreat from the commitment to ra-
cial justice? Is the bugging of Democratic Na-
tional Committee Headquarters symptomatic
of an emerging orwellian nightmare; Has the
Nixon administration sold out to big business?
And what of the Senator from South
Dakota? Will his economic proposals bank-
rupt the economy? Do the Eagleton fiasco
and the "refining" of the proposals of the
primaries portend a presidency based on vacil-
lation? Will McGovern, by reducing the Mili-
tary budget, diminish the diplomatic flexi-
bility of the U.S.? Invite aggression? Pave the
road to war?
The questions are, of course, loaded.
There are few simple answers. But remove the
vituperation and the inflated promises and
four facts are clear:
First: The candidates vying for the presi-
dency differ widely in ideology and outlook.
The potential voter cannot sit this one out on
the grounds that the choice is between
tweedle dum and tweedle dee.
Second: The new voter who refuses to
cast a ballot is shirking the responsibility
which he claimed he deserved. To refuse to
vote or to vote casually is to solicit the dis-
gust of those who demanded the 1 8 year old
vote. It is also to invite the smuggest "I told
you so" in history from the cynics and the
sceptics.
Third: The college student cannot
choose to remain unaffected by the direction
of national leadership. If the President of the
United States chooses to tolerate unemploy-
ment and underemployment, for example, the
Ph.D. of today will continue to be the cab
driver of tomorrow, and students with B.S.'s
and B.A.'s will continue to pour into secre
terial pools and factories.
Atiny
bribe
cannot
hurt...
Think so? We hear a lot about
lakes dying. Entropy they call
it. When pollution reaches a
certain level, it can't be
reversed. That's what bribes
do. Contribute to moral pollu-
tion. Trust turns to sewage in
the community of man. You
know what to do about it.
The community of man . . .
God's club.
It's not exclusive.
It includes you and me.
Fourth: The establishment listens to
numbers. History will record that the young
rose up from the college campuses in search
of a leader to end a war they judged immoral.
History SHOULD record that the young also
managed to sensitize the nation to the need
for ecological balance, population control,
equal rights for minorities. By refusing to
vote, the student invites inattention and guar-
antees that the interests of the young will not
be served.
The message is clear. An important
choice must be made. Those who use the bal-
lot November 7 will participate in making it.
Those who boycott the ballot box will suc-
ceed only in ripping themselves off.
The message is simple. VOTE!
Don't disenfranchise yourself in the
critical presidential election. Vote at
the pools November 7. If you are reg-
istered away from campus, write for
an absentee ballot. The Federal dead-
line is October 31. If you don't know
how to reach your Board of Elections,
call your local McGovern, Nixon, or
other campaign headquarters.

STUDENTS VISIT
HOWARD MARK MANDEL, Editor
A few weeks ago Carol Finnie and I journeyed with Mr.
Robert McClelland, from the placement and public relations
department, to WLVT Channel 39 in Bethlehem. We all were
anticipating the arrival of Miss Jane Fonda. Carol and I were
representing Del-Val with about 50 other students from different
area colleges. The "Speak-Out" began about 2 PM.
The moderator, George Gibbs, began by giving Fonda's life
story. She was disturbed at this and said she "hoped that this is not
what the program will be about. There are many more important
things to talk about." Miss Fonda spoke in a whisper; though not
for effect. After a few weeks of traveling 18 hours a day as a part of
the Indo-China Peace Campaign she could hardly tpeak. After this,
Jane Fonda turned the show over to one of her co-workers, Tom
Hayden. Mr. Hayden is one of the leaders of the anti-war movement
in the United States.
Mr. Gibbs, the moderator, seemed interested in the personal lives
of his guests but the college-age audience was more interested in
their personal feelings of Viet Nam.
Below are listed some of the questions which were asked and the
answers.
Q. - - Tom, can we really understand the problems of the
Viet-Nam people?
A. - - It is impossible for most of the people of the U.S. to
understand the problems of Viet Nam. The main reason is
the complete difference in cultural heritages between us and
the people of Viet Nam. We must visit the country itself to
fully understand.
Q. - - What was the North-South Relationship?
A. - - Viet Nam has been a unified country for 4000 years but
other countries such as France and the United States have
tried to alienate one from the other.
Q. - - What about medical aid?
A. - - There are only 7 doctors in public practice in South Viet
Nam. More doctors have private practices but most people can't
afford them. Laos and Cambodia were told to seek medical aid
from Britain and France rather than the United States.
Q. - - Tonight you have an appearance at Muhlenburg State
College. The Muhlenburg V.F.W. is planning to march in protest
of Jane Fonda, labeling her a traitor. Any comment?
A. - - Tom Hayden replied "people can march for or against
anything they wish."
Questioning continued for a few minutes after the taping
ended. Probably the most interesting comment was stated then.
A gentleman who introduced himself as a Viet-Nam veteran spoke
and maintained that everything previously said by Fonda add
Hayden was correct. He said that people in a war situation are
easily turned into war criminals. He stated that of course some
innocent people are killed - this is part of war but emphasized
that there is too much needless killing and suffering. He gave many
examples of American tortures and the killing of innocent people.
Too many people have been tortured and killed in Viet-Nam and
Indo-China.
The president you elect this fall will decide how many more
people will suffer and die.
Fonda, Hayden and the rest of the Indo-China peace campaign
are far from being traitors. If anything they are patriots! By their
radical actions one can see democracy at work. They are free to say
whatever they please. As much as anyone may disagree with them-
they believe in what they are doing and feel it is right. This alone
should command respect.

JEFF EVANS, Staff Reporter - An Editorial Comment
George McGovern is the only reasonable choice for President.
As a contrast Nixon is a good speaker and can create emotion in his
audiences. But he has lied too many times in the past. He says that
peace is on the way but has signed no treaty. Richard Nixon has lied
and deceived the American people too many times. He is not to be
trusted.
What it comes down to is this; if Nixon is re-elected we will
have four more years of the same thing. What I mean by the same
thing is four more years of increased unemployment with increased
cost of living. Four more years of secrecy within government. Four
more years of government which ignores the common citizen and is
controlled by the economic structure of big business.
George McGovern is not the ideal candidate. But he is better
than Nixon. Nixon'j campaign people have tried to make McGovern
look like he is inconsistent in the positions he takes on the issues.
If one examines the record you will find Nixon to be as incon-
sistent as anyone else; as all politicians are until they find the
feelings of the voters.
The issues and answers have been distorted by all of the bias
political propaganda machinery but one thing is certain. Tomorrow
you will be in a voting booth. You will mark the ballot or pull the
lever on the voting machine. When you vote, vote for a change. Vote
for McGovern.
FSEE- Nov. II, 72
College seniors will have an opportunity to compete in the very
popular Federal Service Entrance Examination (FSEE) when it is
given on a walk-in basis at our campus on Saturday, November 11,
Complete details and FSEE announcements are now available at the
Placement Office.
During the past year about 200 on-campus tests were given at
105 colleges within the Philadelphia Region which covers five states
including this area. More than 3,500 men and women competed in
these tests and more than 60% attained an eligible rating.
The FSEE was designed with the college student in mind. One
test taken one time in one place opens the door to approximately 60
different and challenging career fields in many Federal agencies
at locations all over the country.
Open to seniors and graduates in any academic major the pro-
gram is appropriate for students in all curricula except Engineering,
Physical Sciences, Accounting and a limited number of other tech-
nical fields. This examination is unquestionably the most popular
avenue for Federal employment ever devised.

1 love Del Val.
I really do. This is my school, our school, and all I want is to see
the best and only the best for it. I want to see what we have
preserved, and what we lack acquired. I want to hear my fellow
students say that D.V.C. is by far the best school in the country,
and that their years here were the best years in their lives.
Let's face facts. How many of us can say that life here is
perfect, and that we lack nothing? Del Val is, in my estimation, a
good school, but not perfect. Then again, nothing's perfect.
Therefore, we strive for perfection. We work towards constructive
change - to change what must be changed. We don't attempt to
start over, but to change from within. We have a proud heritage, and
we must preserve this while changing those ideals that have become
antiquated.
We must all realize that we are not students against students, nor
students against faculty or students against Administration. We are
the school - the students, the faculty and the Administration. We
are all vitally important to this institution - take any one segment
away, and you have no institution. This is not a battle - we really
have no enemies. This is a society, and all segments work together
for the betterment of the whole. Therefore, we must all get our
heads together and objectively and freely discuss our problems. We
must all work together, for we can acquire our goals only after we
unite in the spirit that has always prevailed and helped make Del Val
one of the finer educational institutions in this country today.
Only after we rid ourselves of the feeling of malice towards any
of the other segments of this society will we begin to make progress.
This goes for everybody here - we cannot achieve our goals until we
oppress any feeling of bitterness any of us may have.
We must realize that we are all human, and that we all make
mistakes. When any one of us does make a mistake, the rest must be
willing to stand by him and help him to right the wrong. We must
keep the faith, and support those who represent and govern us. We
must make it our own personal effort to openly communicate with
each other no matter what the situation is. Do we need a problem
to communicate? Must we look at someone with an opposing idea as
our enemy? Can't we objectively investigate a situation without
personally taking offense?
1 love Del Val, and I think it's a good school. There's room for
improvement. I ask you, what's wrong with trying to make a good
thing better? Nothing. Maybe we can, if we get together.

A statement of policy and rules must be made for any new
institution to function in an orderly manner for the benefit of the
student body. This is for off campus, and on campus students,
friends of students, employees of the school, and faculty.
The vending machines in the student center are available as a
service to the college community. These machines must be taken
care of. Damage sustained by vandalism or accident will affect the
continued service of these machines.
The Student Center is for all the students. Those who abuse the
center will be summoned to the Student Court for the benefit of the
majority of students who use, enjoy, and respect the center.
Littering is one of the biggest problems of the student center.
Those of the student body who complain about the flies and
uncleanliness of the center must realize that it is their part to take
care of it. Is it right to ignore another's poor habit and thus wade in
garbage? I ask you to request those who have poor manners and
habits to clean up and to respect the rights of others in regard to a
reasonable noise level.
I hope that suggestions and new ideas will come from the
student body for the improvement of the Center. I also hope that
the student body will enjoy the Center and learn and mature
through the social and cultural exchanges that are part of everyday
life. We all can work together for the benefit of the student body.

movies are shown every Saturday night in Segal Hall Student Center
but will be moved to Mandel Lecture Hall if the crowd becomes too
large. There is no admission charge as the films are prepaid by the
money collected at the weeknight movies. The purpose of these
films, according to Alan Johnson, Chairman of the Movie Series

it is also hoped that the students will attend because this program

ALL A-GRADING SYSTEM
Seattle, Washington (CPS) - - The University of Washington
administration has begun proceedings to rid the school of an
academic scourge: an instructor who gives all "A's."
Dr. Jeff Morris gave every one of the 675 students in his
introductory economics class the top grade.
Defending his grading policy, Morris claimed that "Grades
destroy real incentive to learn, force students to treat their
teachers as cops, and alienate students from each other by fostering
competition and discouraging cooperation."
Many of Morris* students have joined him in his fight to keep his
job. The mellow atmosphere in his classes, they say, is much more
conducive to learning than the usual tension-filled, terror-stricken
lecture halls.

DR. WINSTON TOLLES

PROFILE - Dr. II. Tiilh
DOUG SMITH, Staff Reporter
Assistant to the President, Dr. Winston Tolles, is new on campus
but not new to the College; he has been associated with Delaware
Valley College for thirteen years as a consultant on accreditation.
Dr. Tolles was Dean of the College at Hamilton College in Clinton,
New York, a men's Liberal Arts college with an enrollment equiva-
lent to that of Delaware Valley.
Dr. Tolles first became acquainted with Delaware Valley in 1959,
as Chairman of the Middle-States Evaluating Committee, when the
College first sought accreditation. When accreditation was not
g anted, it was Dr. Tolles whose consultation helped correct the
ollege's deficiencies. As a result, Delaware Valley was accredited in
1962. Since then, he has been a regular consultant to Delaware
Valley's administration.
As Assistant to the President, Dr. Tolles has several duties. He is
preparing the College's progress report to the Middle-States Associa-
tion; he represents Dr. Work at meetings and conferences; he
reviews academic and administrative plans and procedures; and he
is also teaching a course in English Literature. His position is new,
however, and other responsibilities are likely to be added.
Dr. Tolles feels that Delaware Valley has progressed well since
1959. He does not foresee any extreme changes, but he hopes the
College will refine itself within existing policies.
Dr. Tolles is an important addition to our Administration. But
we should not expect any radical changes from him. Although he
believes that student judgment should be thoughtfully considered,
he is here to ensure maintenance of the Administration's existing
policies.

Wild "Bill" Resigns
by FRANCIS CAMPBELL
Staff Reporter
Coach H. W. "Bill" Craver is moving
on. An Aggie coach for nine years has
moved to the position of "Director of
Admissions" here at Del-Val. Following
is an interview The Ram did with him
in his new position.
Briefly, a little about "Wild Bill":
Coach Craver has been in athletics for
a very long time, spending the largest
part of his life in football. He is very
interested in the sport and all that takes
part. It will surely take some effort to
get used to his new position.
QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
How long have you been at Delaware
Valley?
"Since April 1, 1964."
Where did you coach before then?
"At Colorado State University as an
assistant coach."
How long were you Head Coach at
Del-Val?
"Nine years."
When did you make your decision?
"On November 9, the Thursday
before Wilkes."
Why did you resign?
"I felt that I could do more for the
school as a whole as Director of Ad-
missions than as the head football
coach."
What or who made you start thinking
about resigning?
"When I was offered the opportunity
to move into Admissions I knew that
in the very immediate future I would
have to make a decision as to which
path that I'd have to take."
Do you plan any changes in the ad-
mission procedure?
"No. Policies are set by Dr. Work
and the Board and my function is to
carry out those policies."
Do you believe you made a wise
choice?
"Yes, no question about it. I'll miss
coaching and athletics; however, I've
been very fortunate to be chosen for
a position that still enables me to
know, and be close to, and help guide
our students."
Do you know who will be next head
coach?
"No, not at all."
Will you be connected with football
anymore?
"Nothing except for recruiting."
Mr. Craver was very helpful through-
out the questioning and answered each
question directly without thinking any
one of them was too personal to be
answered. Whether or not there will be
any drastic changes in the football pro-
gram or if the change of coach was good
or bad remains to be seen in the up-
coming seasons.
Schools, Colleges
told to de-sex
Secretary of Education John C.
Pittenger has told public school execu-
tives that they are required to:
• Eliminate sex-segregated and sex-
stereotyped classes, activities, courses,
jobs and assignments.
• Set annual goals to hire, train and
promote women at every level.
• Insure that students are counseled
to consider a variety of career opportuni-
ties, not just those traditionally entered
by persons of one sex.
• Include feminist literature, especially
that which portrays women in nontradi-
tional roles, in school libraries.
• Provide a sex education course in
human growth and development.
He set a similar course of action for
college and university executives. In addi-
tion, he required that they:
• Eliminate special rules for men or
women (housing, hours, athletics, jobs,
etc.).
• Establish nondiscriminatory admis-
sion qualifications for women and men.
The Secretary has recommended that
all educational institutions sensitize staffs
to sexism and seek to establish child-
care and development programs for chil-
dren of staff and students. In a memo
to Department of Education officials, he
directed them to prepare materials and
guidelines to implement his policies.
Debra Weiner, special assistant to
Secretary Pittenger, will coordinate the
implementation of the new policies and
directives.
The impetus for his action, in addition
to the Joint Task Force on Sexism's re-
port, came from an executive directive
of Governor Milton J. Shapp in 1971 in
which he directed departments of state
government to develop affirmative action
programs to end discrimination against
women and members of minority groups
and to involve them at every level of
employment and decision-making.
Task Force Report Available. Copies
of the 72-page report of the Joint Task
Force on Sexism in Education are
available from Joseph Bard. Send a
stamped, self-addressed 9" x 12" enve-
lope to him at Box 911, Harrisburg,

"My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's
country, not to its institutions or its office-
holders. The country is the real thing
. . . to watch over . . . Institutions are
extraneous, they are its mere clothing,
and clothing can wear out . . . become
ragged. To be loyal to rags . . . that is a
loyalty of unreason, it is pure animal; it
belongs to monarchy, was invented by
monarchy. The citizen who thinks he sees
that the commonwealth's political clothes
are worn out, and yet holds his peace,
and does not agitate for a new suit, is
disloyal; he is a traitor. That he may be
the only one who thinks he sees this
decay, does not excuse him; it is his duty
to agitate anyway."

California Mari-
juana Initiative
Pulls Two Million
Votes
by PHIL WEST
California's Marijuana Initiative (CMI)
attracted over two and a half million
votes in the November 7 election.
Although only one county - San Fran-
cisco — produced a winning margin
(52%), the proposition vote raised the
number of declared supporters in Cali-
fornia for the decriminalization of mari-
juana from under ten percent to more
than 33 percent.
There was no sorrow, no tears in the
CMI office when the vote on the initiative
was confirmed at about 34 percent.
Interstate calls flooded the office all
through election night and into the morn-
ing from people interested in the result.
The next day the calls changed to
those from local residents wanting to
help the next attempt.
There were calls of "What do we do
now?" and requests for new petition
forms, and in the few hours before 9
p.m. when the final results were declared,
43 new supporters had been placed on
the mailing list.
Others agreed to drop by the Sunset
Boulevard office to rap with other people
on the directions the organization for the
liberalization of marijuana will now
follow.
Everyone agreed that the reason Propo-
sition 19 was not completely victorious
was due to a lack of money and the
limited time in which the campaign was
planned.
As the San Francisco office described
it in CMI's first internal newsletter: "Our
growth from a few people with an idea
to a madly functioning loosely co-
ordinated state-wide campaign . . . had
to be created so quickly and brusquely
that close communication was difficult."
(Continued on page 2)
The Dave Mason concert held by the
Sophomore class was one of the biggest
social events ever held at this school. It
was such an area landmark that the
Philadelphia Bulletin decided to run a
review which took up the best part of a
page; the review was written by William
K. Mandel (no relation) a noted area
music critic. It's too bad that Del-Val
is so insulated that the student body did
not realize the great impact this concert
had. It was no less than a musical and
social milestone not only for Del-Val but
for the whole Delaware Valley area.
Never-the-less the Sophomore Class met
with a hassle which lasted for weeks.
Rusty Suher, President of the class of
1975, came to Student Government ask-
ing for financial aid for his class after
the concert and a loss reported to be
over $3,000.00. Although the concert
proved to be a social smash, it lost
financially. Government granted the
sophomore class $2,000.00. Russ Licciar-
dello, President of the Class of 1974,
was the only government member who
opposed this action. Although outvoted
Mr. Licciardello was not finished: before
the last Student Body meeting he passed
out leaflets describing his opposition.
This, of course, resulted in an excited
"mob" of students at this meeting. Many
ideas were exchanged and no conclusions
were reached. After a few weeks it was
decided to place the $2,000.00 in an
escrow account till the end of the second
semester. If need be, Student Govern-
ment may re-claim this money. In re-
trospect it was very interesting to see
how the student body reacted to a one-
sided story and did not listen to the
other. Mr. Licciardello and Mr. Suher
both had valid reasons for their argu-
ments. Both were fighting for the ideas
of a certain segment of our student body.
Unfortunately neither one initially look-
ed for a compromise. As John Rigolizzo,
S.G. Rep. for the Class of '75 said, "Let[s
get this over with; I'm tired of all this
B.S." So was I.
WOMEN'S DORM-
The conversion of Cooke Hall to a
Women's Dormitory was a great step in
the advancement of Del-Val. The Ad-
ministration took a wise step with this
addition. With the Women's Dorm also
came many problems. It seems as though
both the Administration and Student
Government were unprepared for these
problems. Although the Women's Dorm
is great, it is being run under discrimina-
tory policies. Women on campus have
curfews and a different visitation policy
than have males. How these hours differ
is not the point; just the fact that they
do differ indicates discrimination. (SEE
ARTICLE - SCHOOL COLLEGES
TOLD TO DE-SEX). It seems as though
Del-Val is hiding behind that "Private
School" classification it likes to use.
Hopefully Student Government will make
some strong recommendations next se-
mester. If this doesn't work maybe out-
side legal help is the answer. One thing
to consider: The Women's Dorm is not
a "gift" to the students. It is here out
of necessity. Del-Val could not exist for
many more years without it. It will
greatly expand the number of people
wanting to apply for admission and keep
more people here. It provides one of the
prerequisites for state and federal finan-
cial aid. Del-Val had no choice. Hope-
fully the Administration will respect
State sex discrimination laws and abide
by them.

MARIJUANA INITIATIVE— (Continued)
Cc|l«je ftts« Service.
At the onset of the campaign, the con-
cept of decriminalization of marijuana
was never expected to find a position on
the ballot.
But more than 392,000 signatures as-
sured its place on the ballot, and it went
on to strike a credible voting score in
the election.
In the three days before November 7,
a giant marajuanathon was launched in
Los Angeles County, and despite the
huge area, a wall map in the office show-
ed that over half of the county was
canvassed for a "yes" vote on 19.
On election night, those people partied,
watched McCovern's defeat, and then
saw the local vote for marijuana posted.
There was no depression, only happi-
ness, only an involvement with a con-
tinuing struggle, until some day "the
candidate is freed."
As coordinator Larry Skinner saw it,
"We couldn't lose."
With 98% of the California votes
counted, Proposition 19 had 2,656,577
(33.5%) votes yes, and 5,266,086 (66.5%)
votes no.

Mr. P Dunning
by ROBERT SEAROCK
Staff Reporter
A new addition to our Science Depart-
ment is Mr. Peter Dunning who hails
from Philadelphia. He attended Trinity
College as an undergraduate, received
his master's degree in Math at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania and previously
taught at Temple University before com-
ing to D.V.C.
Mr. Dunning is married and has two
children, William, 6, and Robert, 5. In
his leisure time he enjoys playing piano,
chess, tennis and squash, which is a game
similar to handball and tennis, played
indoors with rackets and a hollow rubber
ball in a walled court. Mr. Dunning is
also a member of Delta Psi fraternity
and in this past election gave his support
to McCovern.
One of the things Mr. Dunning would
like to change is the time the Philadel-
phia train arrives here at D.V.C. It would
be more convenient if it arrived at 8:10
a.m. instead of 8:20 a.m. so that it would
coincide with the starting of classes.
When asked about his impressions of
D.V.C, he stated it was still early to
say anything definite but said he did like
the idea of a college located away from
the city and also the fact that students
come here for a specific purpose instead
of just a liberal arts education.

The shame
of our cities...
Some say the inhabitants are to blame.
"They don't give a damn" we hear. "They"
is a fiction. The pronoun of a thousand self
deceptions. "They" usually means "us" in
the final analysis. The shame of our cities,
the inadequacy of our social aid programs
indict us. All of us. Because we are all part
of the community of man. From which
there are no drop outs or cop outs.

FALL SEMESTER— (Continued)
OPEN DOOR-
Student Government received a com-
promise on the proposed Open Door Male
Dorm Visitation hours. Check dorm bul-
letin boards for the extended hours. It
was good to see the Board of Trustees
reacting to the student body by extending
the hours somewhat. PROBLEM: A rider
was attached to the acceptance which
states that any violators of this policy
will be prosecuted by the ADMINI-
STRATION AS OPPOSED TO THE
STUDENT COURT. Although the Stu-
dent body appreciates the extension of
visitation hours, it is appalled at this
rider.
ALCOHOL FOR OVER
21-YEAR OLDS-
Student Government has been working
for years on this policy. As it stands now
any alcoholic beverages are not permitted
on campus even by persons over the age
of 21, the legal age in Pennsylvania.
After consulting with outside legal aid
the Student Government has found that
a private school like Del-Val may pro-
hibit alcohol on its property. This issue
is finished for now. Del-Val has a perfect
right to dictate policies in this area.
CUT SYSTEM -
Last year the Student Government pro-
posed an unlimited cut system. It was
supposedly "lost" by some administrator
and has just been found. Hopefully the
Administrators and Board Members of
this school will consider this policy
deeply.

Hippies Discovered in USSR
(Good Times/FPS/CPS) - The Russian
magazine "Soviet Youth" from Riga had
described a new movement among Rus-
sian Youth marked by "weirdly dressed
bands with neck rings, sun glasses and
disgusting names such as 'the frogs' or
'the savages'."
Another paper said that the new youth
are "constantly on the move, refusing
to disclose their names or using pseu-
donyms." The official Soviet Youth daily
expressed "shock at the ringlets and
beards sported by many Soviet youths.
... It is teeming everywhere with long
hairs."
The "Christian Science Monitor" has
reported a clandestine gathering of Soviet
hippies in December in Vilnyus, the
capital of Soviet Lithuania. The
"Monitor" said that the local authorities
called out the militia when they got wind
of the congress but it ended before the
heat could figure out exactly how to deal
with it. The next such gathering is rumor-
ed to be in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia
-like Lithuania, a region annexed by
the USSR after WWII.
The Communists refuse to accept re-
sponsibility for the hippies. One esta-
blishment journal, "Sovietskaya Rossiya,"
tried to blame the West: "Hippieism is
a protest against the social structure and
the traditions of the capitalist world.
.Under socialism there is no basis for
hippieism. Those who imitate hippies
are our young people of low culture."

DAIRY SOCIETY
by DAVID CROOKE 74
Dairy Society Publications
The Delaware Valley College Dairy
Society has lead a very active and suc-
cessful fall program covering a broad
range of activities. First of all, the club
is one of the largest Dairy clubs to date
with 45-50 regular members. With this
large membership we have become in-
volved in many projects to raise money
and to promote school spirit and publi-
city.
Homecoming weekend was our big
event in the early part of the year. Gayle
Berger, '75, our entry in the Queen
Contest, won to break D.V.C. tradition
by being the first coed to be crowned.
Also the club float directed by Tom
McWilliams 74 and entitled "Spirit Pro-
duces Power to Defeat Lions," was first
in the float competition. The large ani-
mated Holstein cow brought the club
$75.00 as well as recognition for its hard
work and imagination.
The next project started by the Society
was a cow-clipping service for area dairy
farmers. This is an on-going project for
any dairyman wanting his cows clipped
for winter stalling or for classification
and showing purposes. The price is $1.50
a head for stabling cows and higher for
more complete jobs done for classifica-
tion and showing. So far, the committee,
headed by Dave Crooke 74, has clipped
178 cows for a total of $267.00. Seven-
teen members have participated in this
activity to date.
Another service and money making
project recently started is a dairy club
year book which is going to be printed
sometime during the spring semester. The
publication is to be in catalogue form
and will be paid for by advertisements
sold to dairy cattle breeders and to any-
one connected with the industry. All
dairy alumni and members of the club
will receive a copy as well as FFA
chapters, breed representatives, and other
people involved with the dairy science.
The booklet will be great publicity for
the school as well as an excellent op-
portunity for cattle breeders and busi-
nesses to advertise. Bill Haines 73 chairs
the committee.
At a meeting held on November 14,
1972 the club was entertained by Win-
slow Tole, manager of Liseter Guernsey
Farm. He spoke to the club on various
aspects of dairy herd management. The
club hopes to have more speakers in the
near future.
The annual Dairy Society — Block and
Bridle Banquet was held Wednesday,
December 6, 1972 at the Collegeville
Inn. Dr. B. B. Baumgardt, head of the
Department of Animal Science at Penn
State University, was the speaker for
the evening. Both livestock and dairy
judging teams were recognized.
Tourney
by FRAN CAMPBELL
On Saturday, December 2, after two
months of very hard and dedicated work,
the wrestlers from D.V.C. went to Leba-
non Valley College determined to bring
back the first place team trophy ever
won in the history of the school. Al-
though wrestling at Delaware Valley has
always been a major sport, it has never
brought in any first place trophy from
any tournament. This year's team felt
that it was time for a change, and, head-
ed by Coach Mark Stephenson, they
accomplished just what they set out to
do. Not only did they win the first place
team trophy, but also three first place
gold medals, three second place silver
medals, and two third place bronze
medals.
They had more men in the finals (six)
than any other team and two in the
consolations.
Throughout the tournament it was a
team effort with each man. When 118
pounds was wrestling, the rest of the
team cheered and the spirit continued
all day.
Jay Yothers, the 118 pounder, started
off the wins at 1:00, then came Ron
Jennings at 126, Rick Homan at 134,
all the way to Al Bartlebaugh at heavy
weight.
The afternoon was tough because it
was almost continuous wrestling from
preliminaries to semi finals, and the
wrestlers did a great job of helping each
other get "psyched" for each match.
After the semi-final matches were
finished, we had six men to go into the
finals. The three first place finishers were
Jay Yothers at 118, Fran Campbell at
177, and Allen Bartlebaugh at heavy
weight. Al also brought home a trophy
for most falls in least time, having two
in about three minutes. Ron Jennings at
126. Rick Homan at 134, and Joe Thonus
at 157 all took seconds, dropping only
one bout; Ray Johnson at 167 and Mike
Ackley at 150, each took a third.
At the end of the tournament, the
Delaware Valley Aggies wrestled their

THE I'LIVI'
BY DAVE CHARMER
With the opening of the new Agricultural building, new
doors were opened for the Plant Sciences. There are 3 labs for
this field, and a Soils Science lab in the building.
The Soils lab is equipped with everything needed for
analytical experiments of soil. All of the labs are equipped
with a "prep" room and the soils prep room has such
equipment as a centrifuge which can simulate up to 60 times
the force of gravity. Various soil profiles are also found in the
lab for study. Other equipment found is a pH meter,
colorimeter, and a Kjeldahl-digestion apparatus used in protein
determination — all sorts of apparatuses for analyzation of
physical and chemical properties of soils.
In the two Plant Science labs upstairs you can perform any
exercise in the plant science area on Horticultural or Agrono-
mal crops. Also tests in Plant breeding, plant propagation and
plant pathology can be performed. There is a "Wiley-mill"
which chops leaves into powder for analysis. In the Hort lab,
they have colorimeters, incubators, a kjeldahl apparatus, an
autoclave and new microscopes, all necessary in the study and
testing of Horticultural Products. There is a new machine
called the Atomsorb and automatic recorder. This enables the
student to examine soils and plants to do determinations of all
cations. This machine acts on the principle of emission and
atomic absorption. This is a very expensive piece of equip-
ment, and it should be noted that not too many colleges our
size have such an instrument. This is a "tremendous asset to
the Agricultural, Biological and Chemical areas," Dr. Feldstein,
chairman plant sciences, told me. During my tour of the Ag.
Building, I was shown the lab where the senior Hort. majors
were busy at work. I saw them measuring juice from oranges,
weighing bananas, and peeling apples. There is enough equip-
ment there to study all kinds of fruits and vegetables. In both
labs upstairs, there are ranges, refrigerators, and sinks that have
garbage disposals in them for easy clean up.
In lab 206 there is a nice plaque on the wall which tells that
the lab was bequeathed by Barnett Binswanger, Jr. in loving
memory of his parents Barnett and Martha G. Binswanger.
The laboratory downstairs is primarily for Ornamental
Horticulture, and specifically for Landscape Design. The
students are able to do drafting and plans on a beautiful
drafting table, and there is an apparatus for easy showing of
the drawings.
The old Hort. building has been rearranged and updated.
Botany, Plant Physiology, and Plant Materials are offered
there. It is well equipped and very "functional".
Naturally the new building is not just for the Plant Science
Division, but it has helped create a different atmosphere for
more modern teaching techniques.
All of this was made possible by the "endless and untiring
efforts of our president, Dr. Work," who in tum "had the
cooperation and backing of the Board of Trustee ... in the
planning d coordinating" of this project.
Two new part-time teachers have recently come to Del Val.
Patrick Lantz teaches Woodlot Management. Mr. Lantz got his
B.S. in Forestry at Penn State University. The father of 3
children, he has worked as the District Forester of Pennsyl-
vania Bureau of Forestry in the Department of Environmental
Resources.
William Lee Porter, a father of 4 children, is teaching the
laboratory in Fundamentals of Food Chemistry. Mr. Porter
received his B.S. degree from Illinois Institute of Technology
in Food Engineering, and his M.S. at Purdue University in
Food Technology. Besides teaching the lab here, he is
presently also teaching at Temple University and pursuing
advanced graduate studies at Drexel University.

The Animal Science Division has gained a new faculty
member this year, Dr. Craig Hill. Dr. Hill graduated iast June
with a Ph.D. in Animal Science from Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University. He is teaching courses in animal
breeding and selection, and meat and meat products. Dr. Hill
also supervises different laboratories in the animal science
division and participates in animal judging. With the addition
of Dr. Hill, the animal science division, including The Dairy,
Farm 3, and the Poultry Diagnostic Center, now has ten men.
There have been other changes in the division including
additional courses and new and improved facilities. The new
Agriculture Building has provided two new animal science
laboratories as well as providing space for the courses that used
to be taught in the Allman Hall basement. Allman Hall
basement is now used for an expanded laboratory animal
facility. Next year the animal science division will offer many
courses on Laboratory Animals in the Evening Division. These
courses will be open to anyone regardless of his major.

2nd Ten • Purple Bells & III
(CPS)— "President Nixon is a regular guy — he wears sports
clothes," his chief spokesman said recently, although he would
not confirm the rumor that the presidential wardrobe includes
a pair of flared purple trousers.
President Nixon has been reported as seen strolling about
the woods at Camp David, Maryland wearing purple flared
slacks.
"Flared is a bit of an exaggeration," responded White
House press secretary Ronald Ziegler to reporters' queries. But
he acknowledged the President does have "pants without
cuffs."
The reporters then asked about the color. Ziegler skirted
the purple pants issue, although he did say that the President
has blue and maroon slacks.

IS73 ILL AMERICA
Zinnias and marigolds now top ail other garden flowers as
the most popular among home gardeners in America, and for
1973 both these important classes are represented among the
All- America Selections.
The two new All-America winners are Peter Pan Scarlet
Zinnia, a magnificent new color in this unique class of
large- flowered dwarf border hybrid zinnias, and Happy Face
Marigold, a prolific deep golden yellow "hedge" type mari-
gold.
Peter Pan Scarlet Zinnia, a silver medal award winner, is a
beautiful addition to the Peter Pan series of hybrid zinnias,
and only the third color to be introduced in this unusual new
class. The other two Peter Pans are Plum and Pink - both
winners of All- America gold medal awards in 1971, when they
scored higher than any other entries in the 40 years of judging
thousands of flowers and vegetables.
Peter Pan Scarlet Zinnia, the 1973 All-America winner,
combines attractive large flower size with dwarf plant habit —
a combination that more and more home gardeners are
demanding. Individual flowers are well-doubled and measure 3
to 4 inches across. Seldom growing more than a foot high, the
first flowers appear when the plants reach 6 inches. They
remain neat and compact, tolerate rough weather with ease,
and cover themselves with blooms. They are superb in a
landscape or border planting where they will remain neat and
showy all summer.
Happy Face Marigold, a bronze medal winner, belongs to a
class of hybrid marigolds popularly known as "hedging"
marigolds owing to their neat, uniform habit of growth. Happy
Face has deep golden yellow fully-double flowers measuring
up to 4 inches across on 26 in. plants. Earlier than the
Jubilees, more double than Apollo and Moonshot, it stays
colorful from the end of July until frost, branching and
rebranching with fresh blooms. At its best in a border, Happy
Face is also useful as a container plant and as a patio accent.
Both Peter Pan Scarlet Zinnia and Happy Face Marigold are
easy to grow from seed. Plants for earliest blooms can be
started indoors and transplanted to the garden after danger of
frost, or they can be direct-sown into the garden where you
want them to bloom.
Before All-America Selections was organized in 1932 to
make awards for outstanding new flowers and vegetables,
gardeners had no way of knowing which flowers introduced
each year were the best. Today, All-America Selections has 30
trial gardens in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with a
different judge at each location responsible for judging the
flowers on the basis of performance in his own trials Each
flower variety submitted for trial is known only by a code
number so the judges have no way of telling which breeder
submitted the trial. Points are given to each flower and the
totals counted to determine those which qualify for Bronze,
Silver and Gold Medals.

Toilet Seats to Alma Mater
(CPS/ZNS)— A Cleveland mail order house is currently churn-
ing out toilet seats that are specially designed for the alumni of
26 different colleges and universities.
The sanitary speciality manufacturing company reports that
its typical alumni seat usually features the school's crest on the
top of the lid - and that when the lid is opened, the school
motto is revealed. For example, an Ohio State graduate would
get a seat that says: "Go Bucks!"
The company reports that it is now working on a toilet that
would play the school fight song when the lid is lifted.

Poets Allen and Louis
TI.IITIMI'8 PATRIOTS
liiiislimi In Read a HTf
Allen Ginsburg. the most controversial if not the most
celebrated of the contemporary poets, and his father, Louis,
will present a joint reading of their works in the gymnasium of
Bucks County Community College at 8 p.m., Friday, Feb. 23.
The program, sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Committee,
is open to the public. Tickets are $2.50.
The younger Ginsburg is often referred to as one of the
angry co-founders of the Beat Generation who has been
transformed into the joyous leader, guru and elder statesman
of the flower people.
He was described in Playboy magazine as the "hippie-guru
poet laureat of the new left and the flower children."
One interviewer pictured Ginsburg as "an amiable affront
to nearly every respectable literary, intellectual, religious,
political, and moral convention." Nevertheless, he has re-
mained a leading voice in American poetry for nearly 20 years.
But father Ginsburg does not share his son's approach to
life and poetry. He says, however, that they do manage to
"co-exist."
A retired school teacher from Peterson, N.J., the elder
Ginsburg has been writing and reciting poetry more than 50
years. He has been doing readings with Allen for the past seven
years.
The usual procedure is for father to warm up the audience
with puns and move on to his lyrical rhymes. He then sits by
squirming proudly as his son takes over as the poet, mystic,
psychedelic proselyte and bearded prophet of doom.
The father once said of Allen's poetry:
"I don't like his unselective, undiscriminating flow of
unstructured, ungrammatical outpouring, though in his flot-
sam and jetsam there are noble jewels.
"With long Whitmanesque lines he flagellates the apathy
and hypocrisy and injustices and inertia of society, and he's
good there, wonderful there. But I don't like the bad language
his jewels float on."
He also differs with his son on life style. The father said, "I
don't agree with him about smoking pot. He wants pot in
every chicken, not me. Allen is like a well-cooked egg, on one
side."
He says Allen is unjustifiably pessimistic. Louis said, "For
him we should curl up and die. He's like Chicken Little — a
leaf falls on him and he says the sky is falling."
The elder Ginsburg has three books of his own. The most
recent was "Morning in the Spring" in 1970. He has appeared
in numerous anthologies and national magazines and poetry
publications.
Allen Ginsburg has five books of poetry to his credit and
two books of prose, the latest being "Indian Journals" in
1970.
His works are in many anthologies and on phonograph
records. One recording, "Kadish," is a recollection of his
mother's painful bouts with social injustices and mental illness.
(CPS)- When Jane Fonda appeared at Burlington County
College, in Pemberton, New Jersey, she had to contend with a
rather vociferous heckler.
Dressed in a mock green beret and proclaiming himself a
member of the "John Birch Society," Lloyd Hutting asked
Fonda "How does it feel to be a traitor?"
To which Fonda slowly turned to Hutting, looked him
sharply in the eye and replied, "Our country was founded by
traitors, sir!"

New York, N.Y. (CPS)— Traditions change slowly at Ivy
League schools, so it was a major event when workers deleted
the word "Men's" from the canopy of the old men's Faculty
Club at Columbia University.
The Men's and Women's Faculty Clubs merged recently
and, as a campus memo stated, "Women now have a chance to
peer into formerly off-limits comers."
Professor of English George Stade spoke for many of his
colleagues when he said the merger was "a good idea but I
have not been able to notice any difference" at the club. A
fellow professor agreed adding, "Yes, the food is still
unsatisfactory."

Just prior to their first concert they read "These concerts

University of Maryland math professor Peter Nemenyi, a

(CPS)— Every year each fifth-grade student in Maine is finger-
printed for identification purposes.
This practice, which has been in existence since after World
War II, may now become obsolete. Rep. Theodore S. Curtis,
Jr. (R) has asked the legislative Educational Committee to
approve his proposal for discontinuing the fingerprinting
program, which he claims is unnecessary and "may be
unconstitutional as a violation of the right of privacy."
Curtis had originally asked the legislature to permit parents
to withhold their children from the fingerprinting program.
But he said when researching his original bill, "it became
apparent to me that the enitre program was unwise if not
unconstitutional."

BY GEORGE H. KLEIN - Staff Reporter
WAPO was founded in 1971 by the brothers of APO. At
that time Bob Badat, president of APO, organized a committee
to try to establish a campus radio station. Kirby Ellis headed
that committee and also became the first General Manager of
WAPO. David Leininger became the first Program Director. At
that time Dr. Robert S. Orr, advisor, and Dean Joseph E.
Fulcoly contributed to the making of WAPO.
WAPO began to broadcast on February 13, 1971. At that
time WAPO was located on the second floor of the Alumni
House and was staffed by APO brothers from 7:30 p.m. to
11:00 p.m. With the exception of a transmitter bought in
Nova Scotia, all the equipment WAPO owned was homemade.
The brothers of APO borrowed $1700 and bought two new
transmitters plus seven miles of wire. These new transmitters
were not put into use in '71. The APO brothers then paid back
their $1700 loan the following year.
In the beginning of the fall semester 1972, WAPO was still
on the second floor of the Alumni House; but changes were
coming. The two new transmitters APO had bought the year
before were put into Work Hall and the New Dorm, DJ
positions were opened to the entire student body, not just
APO brothers, and now WAPO was broadcasting from 8:00
a.m. until 12:00 midnight. WAPO then received $500 from the
Administration, which was used for the improvement of their
studio; they then moved to the second floor of Segal Hall.
In September, the General Manager job was turned over to
Kent (Rudy) Bubbenmoyer, and Fred Kobylinsky became the
new technician. Howard Mandel became Production Manager
and David Leininger, treasurer. Nineteen hundred dollars were
given to WAPO by the Ram and $2000 were given by Student
Government. The $1900 that the Ram gave to WAPO was
money that was left over from the year before. Originally the
money was to be used for a printing press for the Ram but this
proved to be impractical. Then the Faculty Publications staff
and staff members decided to give the money to WAPO. This
gave WAPO $3900 to buy new studio equipment. WAPO
purchased 1 audio mixer, 2 turntables, 1 Teac reel to reel tape
recorder, 2 Sony cassette tape players, and a
compressor-limiter. WAPO then moved from the top of Segal
Hall to the basement of Segal Hall, because of unstable
footing. When WAPO moved to the bottom of Segal Hall, all
the new equipment was put into use; the problem of
scratching, hissing and crackling noise coming over the air was
solved. Now the only sound that comes out of WAPO, 640 on
Wour AM dial, is pure music.

By this time, I'm sure everyone of the Aggies knows the two
ducks that live down at Lake Archer. During the eight years
that Waddles was here, (he was the black and white one), he
saw quite a turnover of mates. But then one day last fall,
Waddles died. Now it is the feeling of the Aggies that no one
should be alone here; everyone needs companionship. And
along that line another black and white duck was obtained for
the lone one.
Even though winter is here (?) and we have cold days, the
ducks know where to go — right up to the barns near the farm
machinery buildings for protection. They are also fed well;
many an Aggie in a solitary moment goes down to the lake to
throw a few pieces of bread to them.
These two ducks add a lot of character to the simple and
soothing atmosphere of our lake. Take care of our fine
feathered friends — they're just as much a part of DVC as you
are.

The Del. Val. Glee Club has been quite active in the recent
months. The Christmas concert was a sellout, with standing
room only. The choir, directed by Mrs. Roberts, joyfully sang
many old favorites along with a few less-known selections.
They repeated their fine performance at Tabor Home in
Doylestown, and again at the Mercer Museum. This group is
indeed a dedicated one, and anyone interested is invited to
attend.
Also active are the Dairy and Animal Husbandry
departments. They recently sent representatives to the
Keystone International Livestock and the Pennsylvania Farm
Show, both held in Harrisburg. The students representing DVC
were: M. Bencze, J. Flaeger, P. Holcombe, G. Flickinger, J.
Stump and D. Laudenslayer. These students came away with
many awards in various classes. The department won various
awards for its outstanding cattle, sheep and swine.
At its last meeting the Horticultural Club held its elections.
Jeff Dilks was named President with Rick DeVinney as
Vice-Pres., E. Weiss as secretary. Already the club is working
on plans for A- Day and are discussing the possibility of raising
many of their own vegetable plants.
Elections were also held by the Ornamental Horticultural
Society, with the results as follows: Mark Saunders was elected
President, followed by John Quinn as Vice-Pres., Paul
Karcewski as Treasurer, Bob Miller as Secretary, Mark Cole
A-Day Rep., and Guy Leighton and Mario Beveaqua in charge
of publications. The O.H. Society is eagerly anticipating its
trip to Montreal and has also started a program of side trips to
various gardens, nurseries, and green houses.

Vw Hybrid Zucchini Wins for 1973
1973 AAS Winner, Zucchini Squash Aristocrat
TO ORGANIZE ALTERNATIVE PRESS
right win mum meet
(LNS/CPSy-Conservative college students recently met in
Madison, Wisconsin to kick off a drive to set up what they call,
''alternative student newspapers" to combat the "media
monopoly of the New Left" on campuses across the country.
The conference, which resulted in the founding of the
Independent Alternative Student Newspapers Association, was
sponsored by the Badger Herald Corporation. It was funded by
the Jefferson Education Foundation. The president of Badger
Herald, Nicholas Loniello, announced that the United States
Chamber of Commerce would help the association by
providing business contacts for national advertising and
fund-raising programs.
Loniello said the "New Left student media monopoly
regularly attacks American business and the free enterprise
system."
Speakers at the conference included Eugene Methavin, an
associate editor of Readers Digest, and Jenkins Lloyd Jones, a
syndicated columnist who publicly advocates the theory of
genetic white racial superiority.
The conference also heard from Vice President Spiro Agnew
who sent a congratulatory letter and called on the students to
"call for a free, fair and responsible student press."
One new vegetable variety — a hybrid zucchini squash called
Aristocrat — has been honored by an All-America Award for
1973.
Aristocrat Hybrid Zucchini won a bronze medal for its extra
earliness, prolific yields, and the quality of its handsome, dark
green glossy fruits which don't fatten-up and spoil as fast as
other varieties of zucchini. First fruits can be had within 48
days of sowing seed directly into the garden. Fruits are straight
with rounded ends, and taste delicious.
Zucchini squash is now one of America's most popular
classes of vegetable, and it's not surprising why. Easiest of all
vegetables to grow from seed, they are quick to mature, and
yeild their delicious fruits over a long period on bushy plants
that do not take up much room in the garden. The large,
easy-to-handle seeds are best planted in groups of three or four
spaced Vh feet apart in fertile soil after all danger of frost is
past. A sunny position is desired, and germination takes about
10 days. As germination is generally good with zucchini seed,
it is best to thin the seedlings in each group to one strong,
healthy plant.
Fruits are best picked when they are six to eight inches
long. They can be steamed or baked or sliced raw to substitute
for cucumbers in fresh salads, mother gourmet trick is to slice
them lengthways, dip in egg and breadcrumbs, and fry to a
delicious golden brown for one of the most tasty side-dishes
you'll remember.
Both male and female flowers appear on the same plant, and
it is the female flowers which produce the fruit after
pollination from a male flower. This pollination is usually
done by insects, but can be effected more reliably by hand —
using a small camel's hair brush to transfer pollen from the
male flower to the female.
The enormous yellow flowers of zucdhini squash are a
source of fascination among children, and they are edible.
Picked early in the morning and fried in batter is a favorite
way to eat the flowers among rural families.

CIRCLE k CUB
BY GUY LEIGHTON
The Delaware Valley College Circle K Club has reorganized
this semester. The club is part of the Circle K International
which is the largest collegiate organization in North America
with nearly 800 clubs throughout the United States and
Canada. Circle K is a service organization through which
college men and women can find a means of responsible
student action in their communities and more active involve-
ment on their campuses. The objectives of the club are:
To emphasize the advantages of the democratic way of
life;
To provide the opportunity for leadership;
To serve on the campus and in the community;
To cooperate with the administrative officers of the
educational institution of which this organization is
part;
To encourage participation in group activities;
To promote good fellowship and high scholarship;
To develop aggressive citizenship and the spirit of service
for the improvement of all human relationships; and
To afford useful training in the social graces and
personality development.
The Delaware Valley College Circle K Club is sponsored by
the Central Bucks Kiwanis Club. Mr. Leon Nelson, the club's
on-campus advisor, and the Central Bucks Kiwanis have been
very helpful in getting the club re-established on campus. Two
circle K members attend the weekly Kiwanis meeting that is
held at the Countryside Inn, Doylestown. With help from the
Kiwanis Club, two members will be attending the regional
convention to be held soon in Bethlehem.
The Circle K's first project was the Valentine's Day candy
sale to raise money for the treasury. The club was in charge of
promoting the recent blood drive for the Doylestown area.
Among the service projects planned are participation in the
March of Dimes Walkathon for handicapped children and
sponsorship of an Easter egg hunt for retarded children.
If you want to do something meaningful and worthwhile,
the Circle K club urges you to join. Meeting times and
locations are posted on bulletin boards on campus.

Men visitors must register in the women's lounge, under
close watch of a proctor. They must sign in their full name,
the name of the student he is visiting, the girls room number
and the time he enters the dormitory. He must be greeted by
the student he is visiting. Upon leaving he must sign out stating
the time he left the dormitory. Any male violators will be
brought to student court, suspended or expelled for his
actions.
To insure or cancel out the possibility of Cooke Hall
turning into a free-for-all the above proposals were presented
to the Administration. They were turned down. Almost 100"
of the girls living in Cooke Hall supported their modified, or
shall I say, limited proposals.
The college assumes the role of "loco parentis," that is they
supposedly take the role of our parents. I was under the
distinct impression that college was considered to be more
than being on your own, it is a place to mature, achieve
academically, and pursue any social endeavors that one desires.
On April 9th the girls of Cooke dorm staged a peaceful
sit-in, in Cooke dorm. This was not a party. Men visitors
remained from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in Cooke dorm. The
females from Cooke Hall are not competing nor defying or
trying to crucify the administration, only gain equal rights as
the men, on Delaware Valley's campus.

Many students are familiar with the routine formalities
which occur on DVC's campus throughout the school year.
I'm sure everyone is quite aware of the Homecoming and
A-Day events scheduled every year. There is one affair
presented on campus every year which many students are not
familiar with, however. This is RAP's and Del. Val's biannual
recruitment day. RAP's Recruitment Day program sets aside
one day of each semester on which minority students of the
Philadelphia public school system tour our campus.
We, the Black students of D.V.C., acquaint these students
with certain aspects of Del Val college life, both social and
academic, and stress the benefits of obtaining a college
education, preferably at Del Val.
We have had three Recruitment Day events since the origin
of RAP (previously titled "Black Omnibus"), and plan to have
many more in the future.
On our last Recruitment Day about 23 students from the
Philadelphia area attended our program. So far, 14 applica-
tions for enrollment here have been sent in and three students
have technically been accepted. Through these efforts we hope
to increase the minority student enrollment in order to permit
Del Val to reflect truly the racial make-up of modern-day
America.
As of this Deadline we have received no re-
sponse from the Administration concerning
Cooke Hall. Watch for a special issue coming
up.

to the Postmistress.
OPEN LETTER TO DR. JAMES WORK
Dear Dr. Work,
I am writing to you today in reference to the March 26,
1973 memorandum on the Women's Dormitory Open Door
Policy. We, the members of Student Government, were both
annoyed and disappointed at the decision of the Board of
Trustees. The students would like to know exactly why this
decision was made. Also, they would like to know why, if the
decision was made at the Board of Trustee's meeting of March
4, 1973, why did it take until the 26th of March to make this
decision known.
The students of this College have been thought of as
irresponsible children too long. It is about time it was realized
that the students of this College are responsible adults and
should be treated as such. To be told "that such a policy
would not be in the best interests of either the students or of
the College", is not enough. The students deserve and want to
know why.
This policy was discussed with the advisor to women before
it was presented to you. At that meeting it was agreed by the
women themselves that they wanted an Open Door Policy and
this Policy was thought to provide the safeguards they wanted,
with the liberty which they deserve.
This incident proves again the need for a student to be
present in the Board of Trustee's meeting while matters of
student interests are discussed. In this way, the student's
opinion can be expressed and answers to any questions the
Board may have can also be answered.
At this time I am asking you to resubmit this proposal to
the Board at your next meeting or before. It must be brought
out that the women of this school deserve equal policies, with
their consent, as the men. Why should a resident of the
womens dormitory be prohibited from having a male guest
visit her in her room? This is the real issue.
I would like to conclude by saying that this is not an
attempt at severing communications between the students,
administration, and the Board of Trustees, but an attempt at
trying to improve these communications.
Sincerely yours,
Murray Klein, President

To the Editor:
Annually Del Val College spends thousands of dollars in
resupplying its facilities. The constant need for these materials
arises from vandalism caused by our own students at D.V.C.
To these students, or should I say pampered asses, I would like
to direct a message. Get the hell out of college! I don't care
where you go but don't cause me difficulty or inconvenience
with the childish and destructive expressions of your small
minds. May I also add that other colleges which have better
security systems would meet your actions with direct and
immediate expulsion and charges to the full extent of the law
with full recompense for all damaged materials I am not alone
in my opinion of you lazy ignorant S.O.B.'S. Ask all of the
serious students who have come to any educational institution
to learn. Whether for the reasons of bettering themselves or
their station in life or coming to learn for learnings sake, they
have many advantages over the vandalous members of college
enrollment. Sheer numbers, sincere effort, a serious attitude
towards responsibility and a true respect for the rights of other
humans.
But, let's get back to the awful situation of vandalism and
the undeserving student. Everyone wants you to get out and
we all know that you will not give up your too, too
comfortable position in school which in most cases is being
paid for by mommy & daddy. If they only knew — but, maybe
they do know and are just trying to get rid of you like the rest
of the students.
What we need is a more efficient security service and a
better attitude among the students. Usually the vandals get
little more than, "tsk, tsk,", and, "if we don't catch them we'll
have to charge the other students for the damages". The
solution to this problem rests in the hands of the administra-
tion and Student Government. And before the student body I
ask these groups are you being fair? More over, are you being
sensible? Kick this scum off of our campus and press charges
against them. Record their activities on their college records so
that other institutions may be spared the misery of having to
cope with this type of sickness.
To all students: Get smart! The more these idiots destroy,
the more we have to pay. This certainly is defeating our
purposes.
To the sick demented incompetents that destroy my
college. Get the hell out and stay out for good!

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
the complicated subject of life insurance proves to be an
unfortunate one, advantageous more to the agents than the
students.
In recent months, we have received complaints from both
students and parents concerning a particular type of selling
approach used with students. Under these techniques, pay-
ment of the first year's premium is deferred and a promissory
note is signed by the student. This promissory note is legally
valid as soon as it is signed, thereby eliminating any oppor-
tunity for the student to reconsider and cancel the policy by
non-payment of premiums or any other means during the first
year.
While this policy arrangement has the advantage of pro-
viding immediate coverage without immediate payment, it is
not one which should be entered into ignorant of its full
implications and obligations. Many students do not seem to
recognize the nature of the debt obligations, and in view of the
high-powered selling techniques sometimes used and the
student's susceptibility to them, a moment's reconsideration
may be especially valuable.
Our advice to students on this matter is to become an
intelligent consumer. And this, we think, necessitates dis-
cussing any planned life insurance purchase with a parent or
other knowledgeable person. The Insurance Department is, of
course, available to answer all inquiries and resolve complaints.
I remind you that under the new laws of the Common-
wealth, a person of 18 is now capable of making a binding
contract.
Will you kindly aid us in making this information available
to college students through the Commonwealth?
Sincerely,
Herbert S. Denenberg

Richard Koes, Class of 1966 Animal Husbandry major,
received his M.S. at the University of New Hampshire and his
Ph.D. at the University of Missouri in Nutrition. He is at the
present time on a postdoctorate fellowship with the Labora-
tory of Animal Physiology in Wageningen, Holland, until May
1973.
He recently wrote a long letter, here are some highlights:
He is married; they have a small son, Derrick, born in Holland
last fall. His wife Mary, besides her family responsibilities, is
taking a course in Japanese miniature gardening. He visited the
best and best-known Nutrition and Physiology Institutions in
Hohenheim, West Germany; Vollebec, Norway; Copenhagen,
Denmark; and will see laboratories in Scotland and East
Germany. His main interest is in the field of Nutrition and
Physiology with emphasis on energy and protein metabolism.
He had the opportunity to visit with the leaders in these fields
and had firsthand information on their experimental work and
activities.
His work at Wageningen is connected with (a) a feed-
evaluation system, (b) digestion trials on different hay
qualities, and (c) the influence of water temperature, protein
level, and fat production of growing crops. It is quite
interesting that the basic material they work with comes from
Holland, Russia, Beltsville (U.S.A.), Japan, Denmark, and
some from New Hampshire, the one he worked in while he was
completing his M.S. degree. This job involves a great amount
of computer work, and his courses in statistics are coming in
handy.
(Information abstracted by Dr. Tibor Pelle)
During the past few years I have observed the student
government's activities and function, and I have been quite
discouraged with their lack of success.
The reasons for the many, failures can be attributed to
many things. Some members of the government have run for
these offices in order to have it on their transcripts These
individuals are only interested in becoming worshipers of the
administration and the board of trustees. People of this nature
have destroyed the power of the government because they
aren't willing to object to the Puritanical ideas of the senile
and wealthy board of trustees.
It is the responsibility of the incoming government to
organize the student body in peaceful demonstrations in order
to let the board of trustees know that we are sick of their
games.
I would also like to express my strongest congratulations to
Doctor Work and the board of Trustees for rejecting the
obscene open door policy for Cooke Hall.
Their most appreciated decision shows that DELAWARE
VALLEY'S OVER THE HILL GANG has once again saved
THE FARM SCHOOL from becoming the wild campus having
nightly orgies.
The action of the OVER THE HILL GANG has shown the
students, parents and the community that THE FARM
SCHOOL plans to continue the role it has preserved for the
past seventy five years, which the AGGIES are so proud of.

American literature has lost one of its most prolific creators
with the recent death of novelist Pearl Buck. Mrs. Buck was
also a member of the Board of Trustees of Del- Val. She wrote
many citations for honorary degrees presented here, and
received a Dr. of Letters degree at the 1965 graduation where
she was also the main speaker. Dr. Work's office considered
information about Mrs. Buck's attendance at board meetings
and monetary contributions confidential.
Awarded both the Pulitzer Prize (1932) and the Nobel Prize
for Literature (1938), she was elected to membership in the
American Academy of Arts and Letters and the National
Institute of Arts and Letters.
Humanitarian in practice as well as thought, she founded
Welcome House, a non-profit organization designed to facili-
tate the care and adoption of American-born children of Asian
ancestry.
Born in West Virginia in 1892, she grew up in China,
acquiring an appreciation and respect for the Chinese people
that was revealed in her many tales of Chinese culture and life.
The Good Earth, published in 1931, gained its author
international acclaim and a Pulitzer Prize. Made into a movie,
the novel established Pearl Buck's reputation as a literary
great.
Creator of The Chinese Novel, My Several Worlds and The
Promise, she also authored numerous children's books and
contributed to various magazines, including Nation and the
Saturday Review of Literature.

NEW GYM FLOIR
BY KEITH JORDAN
Although it has taken longer than was expected, the new
floor has recently been laid in the new gym, and it has already
been used quite extensively by Del Val students, who are very
pleased with it. As everyone who was here first semester
knows, getting a new floor was necessary because the old floor
was ruined through water damage.
When the Sidney Neumann gymnasium building was con-
structed in 1959, it was built around a pump house which
supplied water to the dormitories. When the concrete was
poured, some of the pipes were buried. One Friday evening
last August water leaked out of a hole which was created by
corrosion in the capping of one such pipe. The water flowed
through the Officials' Room, under the double doors, and into
the gymnasium. The incident is estimated to have occurred at
about 5:30 P.M., because Mr. Linta and others were in the
gym until 5 o'clock, and the place was empty when it
happened. The water on the floor was discovered later that
night by the Ross men when they made their daily rounds. It's
a good thing they did discover it, or it would have flowed on
out the door, through the lobby, and on into the new gym,
and that floor would have been damaged also.
It was not known exactly where the source of the water
was, so it took quite some time to stop the flow. The water
supply could not simply be turned off because it was part of
the main line that supplied the dormitories. Finally, the
concrete was chopped away and the hole in the pipe was
discovered by Mr. Troxell, but the damage had already been
done. The old floor was a wooden one of the type known as
the "floating floor." The water had the effect of a flood; it got
underneath the wooden floor and raised it up in a bubble-like
fashion. It could not possibly be repaired, so it was necessary
to replace it with new flooring.
After such matters as allocation of monies, insurance, and
determination of the type of floor were decided upon, work
was started. The first thing to do was to move the bleachers
out. This was done by student volunteers, which saved paying
out money for labor. Of these volunteers Mr. Linta has said,
"They're the greatest."
Work was then started on ripping out the old wooden floor.
This was done with a shovel-dozer and only took a couple
days. Then a two-inch slab of concrete was poured over the
old concrete. Because no chemicals were added to it, thirty
days were allowed for the concrete to dry evenly. Compli-
cations arose during this time. The fresh concrete didn't
adhere to the underlying old slab. Air pockets formed in the
concrete and it raised and cracked. For this reason it had to be
broken up and new concrete poured, and allowed to set
another thirty days. It then took eight days to lay down the
new wooden floor.
There were three main reasons why it took so long to get
the new floor installed: (1) work was delayed somewhat
because workers were busy repairing damage brought on by
the June flood; (2) there were labor disputes, and (3) the extra
thirty day wait was needed for the repoured concrete to set.
The floor that was put in is a kind Mr. Linta suggested. It is
made of a synthetic material called Robins Sport Thread
Fiber. Ursinus College has this type of floor, except theirs has
a rough surface, whereas ours has a pebble-grained surface. It is
the first floor of its type in the area, and is expected to be the
floor of the future because of its several advantages. It
combines smoothness with traction. It provides a truer
bounce, and is easier on shins and ankles. It is very easy to
keep clean. In the event that an incident similar to the one
which ruined our old floor ever occurs, it will not be ruined by
the water. Water would flow over it and out, rather than get
under it and raise it up. If anything were to happen to the
floor, it would be a simple operation to cut out a small area of
it and put in a "plug" of the material in its place. It has a life
expectancy of five to one over the old-fashioned wooden
floors. This does not mean it should be abused, however. It is
still preferable to wear sneakers in the gym rather than street
shoes or track shoes, and dirt should not be tracked in from
outside.
Student reaction to the new floor has generally been very
favorable. Some don't like it because of its dull finish, some
think a wooden floor would be more economical, and one
student complained that it gives him blisters, but most agree
that the new floor has its advantages. One student commented
that he thought it made the gym a lot quieter than it was with
the old floor. Another said that he liked it because polished
wooden floors are too shiny. But whether or not they think
this type of floor is better than a wooden floor, everyone
agrees that it is a welcome improvement over the warped floor
we had in the fall.

Women's (pen Door Rejected
BY WAYNE CSUPA
In today's age of men going to the moon and exploring
unknown parts of the world, we the students of DELAWARE
VALLEY COLLEGE have also progressed to the year 1948;
students' ideas and comments are totally disregarded as
irrelevant.
Here at DVC girls are SEX objects and are not allowed to
have contact with men in their rooms; however, the sneaky
and wise girl travels to the men's dorm, where the same
amount of damage can be done as if she were in her own
room.
My suggestion is that the male visitation rights be abolished,
and the male and female students be secluded. They should be
required to be in their rooms by six thirty and not allowed to
leave until eight A.M. the next morning. Classes should be
either all male or all female.
At orientation every freshman male should be castrated, so
sex will not be on his mind, only school work.
We should have religion classes of each denomination at
least twice a week to keep moral standards high. All males
attending should be required to wear woolen underwear.
All male students caught watching the cheerleaders practice
will be subject to taking five cold showers before going to bed
that night, and all callouses on the hand will be checked.
Yes, isn't it too bad that a student government can not be
heard because of the administration's outdated ideas of how a
college should be run.
Will DVC ever progress?
The answer is yes — DVC will progress. By the year 2000
DVC should be in the year 1976, always maintaining a healthy
backlog of 24 years.

How would you like to study in Britain? A new British
government policy has fixed a standard tuition rate at any of
700 British universities and colleges for overseas students, of
$625. This covers 45 quarter credits or 30 semester credits.
As a result, the Study in Britain Association reports that
the total cost for an academic year at a British college or
university (including round trip air fare) can now run as low as
$2500 to $3500. This includes tuition, meals, lodging and
books.
Furthermore, American students (of faculty members) can
now study on any of five levels:
1. At a campus of an American University in Britain.
2. As a visiting student, scholar or fellow. .
3. As a graduate or undergraduate at a college or univer-
sity, combined with research, work experience or independent
study.
4. As a student of British institutions such as the theatre,
the arts, welfare services, politics, medical services, the law,
etc.
5. For teachers doing special research or sabbatical study.
Complete details of these work and study programs, how to
enroll, where to apply and how to combine travel and study
are available from SIBA. Preliminary planning takes three
months, so now is the time to plan for the next study year.

Can You Beat This
BY JULES PERLSTEIN
During the past three years that I have spent here at D.V.C.,
I have heard many people boast of their fantastic accomplish-
ments and achievements. Of course many of them cannot be
duplicated, so we must take their word for it.
Everyone has their specialty and maybe one of the
following world's records belongs to you. If not, CAN YOU
BEAT THIS?
Longest Hair — The longest recorded hair was that of
Swami Pandarasannadhi, the head of the Thurai monastery in
India. His hair was reported, in 1949, to be 26 feet in length.
Longest Beard — The longest beard preserved was that of
Hans Langseth (1846-1927) of Norway. His beard measured
174 feet at the time of his death in 1927. Langseth spent his
last 15 years in the U.S. and the beard was presented to the
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. in 1967. (It is
rumored that one of our Psychology teachers here at Del-Val is
going for this record). For those Co-Eds interested in the
female record, you will have to beat 14" which was set by the
bearded lady Janice Deveree, in 1884.
Champion Blood Donor — Mr. Linta should try to recruit
Joseph Elmaleh (born 1915) of Marseilles, France, to come to
our school as a student. On May 22, 1968, he donated his
597th pint of blood making a total of 74 gallons 5 pints since
1931. (I wonder if he could get an athletic scholarship, Ned?)
Swallowing — The worst known case of compulsive
swallowing was reported by the Journal of the Ameriran
Medical Association in December, 1960. The patient who
complained only of swollen ankles, was found to have 258
items in his stomach, including a 3 pound piece of metal, 26
keys, 3 sets of rosary beads, 16 religious medals, a bracelet, a
necklace, 3 pairs of tweezers, 4 nail clippers, 39 nail files, 3
metal chains and 88 assorted coins!
Most Alcoholic Person — This category has probably been
challenged by more Aggies than can be recorded. The world's
record is held by a hard drinker named Vanhom (1750-1811)
born in London, England, who averaged more than 4 bottles
of rum per day for 23 years prior to his death at 61. He is
believed to have emptied 35,688 quarts!
Beer — Lawrence Hill (b. 1942) of Bolton, Lancashire,
England, drained a 24-pint mug of ale in 64 seconds on
December 17, 1964. A 3 pint mug was downed in 10.15
seconds by Jack Boyle, 52, at Barrow-in-Furness, England, on
May 14, 1971. Beat that oneStauby!
Spitting — The greatest distance achieved at the annual
classic at Raleigh, Mississippi, is 25 ft. 10 inches by Don
Snyder, 22, set in August, 1970. Distance is dependent on the
quality of salivation, absence of cross wind and the coordi-
nation of the quick hip and neck snap. At present 1 am in
training and hope to attend the next annual classic which will
be held in the fall. My best unofficial record is 23 ft. 84
inches.
The record for projecting a melon seed is 44 ft 1% inches,
achieved at a contest in Neosho, Missouri in 1971, by Dale
Blaylock. Serious spitters wear 1 2-inch boots so practice spits
can be measured without a tape.
If there may be anyone in the reach of this paper who feels
he can beat any world record and verify it, please submit it to
me and I will see that your name is inscribed in the Guinness
Book of World Records.

BY DAVID W. CROOKE - 74
The Delaware Valley College Dairy Society's first Annual
will be going to the printer the end of March. The booklet will
consist of articles describing the dairy club, the school
curriculum, and the facilities at the college. Articles and
advertisements will total forty pages. Distribution will be to
alumni, club members, breed organizations, FFA chapters and
advertisers. Hopefully it will be available for "A" Day.
This year the club trip will be to Virginia Polytechnic
Institute. Blacksburg, Virginia. The dates are April 13 and 14.
The trip will be by bus and will include several stops at farms
along the way. About forty members are expected to
participate. We will tour V.P.I, facilities and exchange ideas
with their dairy science club.
"A" Day activities planned by the club include a dairy
cattle fitting and showing contest on Saturday, a judging
contest on Sunday and a milkshake stand operated both days.
About 35-40 members will participate in the show. There will
also be exhibits in the new Ag. building in one of the labs
dealing with feed analysis and cattle evaluation and selection.
mm bill kii
State Senator Robert A. Rovner (R-6th District), the youngest
member of the Pennsylvania Senate, introduced Senate Bill 60
in order to lower the drinking age in Pennsylvania from 21
years to 18 years.
Rovner said, "It is necessary for the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature to act favorably on the subject of 18 year old drinking
in the very near future, because in January 1972 a new law
allowing 18 year olds to drink in New Jersey went into effect.
Our neighboring State has become the 15th state in the Union
to fall into step with a continuing movement throughout the
nation to grant adult rights to 18-year-olds.
"I have introduced the bill to allow 18 year olds to drink in
Pennsylvania, because it is a lot safer to keep the young people
in our State than to force them to drive across State lines.
Now thay can go to practically all the states surrounding
Pennsylvania and drink if they wish (New York, West Virginia,
New Jersey, and Ohio to some extent)," said Rovner.
Senator Rovner said, "I want to make it clear that I am not
saying that 18-year-olds should drink, but if they do, we
should keep them in Pennsylvania rather than force them to
drive distances out of the State."
Senator Rovner said all who support his bill should contact
their State senator or House member letting them know of
such support. He continued, "Young people should have their
views heard."
SWEET FREEDOM in action

MUSIC mini
BY ROBERT McCURDY
Del-Val has been discovered for its good concerts! So far
this semester there have been two concerts on campus;
Quicksilver and Bonnie Raitt. Also appearing were Sweet
Freedom with the former and Little Feat and Eric, Lurch and
Howard with the latter.
The Quicksilver/Sweet Freedom concert was held on March
21st in the new gym. Attendance was approximately 1300
paid with approximately another 100 coming in during the
show after tickets were taken. Although the check from
Ticketron is not in yet, Student Government feels they lost up
to and perhaps more than $3000. They feel the big problem
here was the $4.00 tickets. It probably would have been better
to set a flat rate of $3.00 and $3.50.
Another factor to be considered was the stage set-up. Even
if all the tickets were sold, there would have been no room for
all the people because the stage juts out so far in the center.
This was Sweet Freedom's first concert and they put on a
fairly good show. They show promise, but the musicians
themselves have to become a lot tighter than they are.
Quicksilver has been around for a while and put on a great
show. Although a bit loud for some, they did give the people
their money's worth by playing for two and a half hours.
Before Del-Val considers any more big names, though, they
are going to have to work out the power problems as
Quicksilver needed 100 amps of power to run their equipment
and the gym has only 60. But the show went on, "with a little
help from our friends," and full power.
On April 2nd Bonnie Raitt buzzed in with Little Feat and
special surprise Eric, Lurch and Howard. This concert was
produced by Folk C. Productions with Del-Val getting 50
cents on every ticket sold. Approximately 1300 paid packed
into the old gym for it.
All three were very good and should be watched and
listened to during the next year.
Government hinted that in the future all concerts would
probably be done in this way as the 50 cents per ticket made is
all gravy. As of yet there has been no bill sent to them
concerning electricity, janitors and the like from the school.
Yes, Del-Val. has been discovered having great concerts. But
too many students don't know what they're missing.

(pen Letter
To The Community
Delaware Valley College has been accepting women stu-
dents for a few years now. But until this year, there has been
no on-campus housing for these students. Now, however, the
women have been given Ethel Cooke Hall as their dormitory.
This "gift" has been held up in front of our faces every time
we make a legitimate complaint about our ill-treatment as
people on this campus.
Since September, we have been requesting Open Door
visitation rights for men in our dorm. This policy is in effect in
the men's dorm requiring a female visitor to be signed in, and
the door to remain open during her stay. At the beginning of
last semester we went through the proper channels and
requested that the same policy be applied to Cooke Hall, but
were turned down. We realized the administration's concern
for our safety, so this semester we submitted a highly modified
policy, which would strengthen the safety precautions they
already had while still allowing male visitors. Again we were
refused the right. The only reason given this time, however,
was as follows: "It would be in the best interest of the student
body not to have such a policy in effect."
We have twice gone through the established channels, and
both times we have been turned down. Now we demand the
rights to which we are entitled, not as women, but as people.
All we ask for is for equal visitation rights. The Administra-
tion sees this as a "responsibility which we are not yet mature
enough to accept." It is not a responsibility, but a right we are
being denied.
It has been said by a member of the administrative staff
that Delaware Valley College has not declared itself a coed
school, but is a male school accepting female applicants. They
do not recognize us as coeds. Therefore, if you follow their
line of reasoning, Cooke Hall is not the coeds' dorm, and
should be treated the same as any other dorm on campus.
We are planning action, and this action will be continued
until our demands are met. Our choice of behavior may seem a
bit extreme, but we have been forced by the Administration to
take extreme action to obtain simple rights. We ask for no
more, but will accept no less, than what is rightfully ours.
The following are the present hours for Open Door in the
men's dormitories:
4 - 10 PM Mon-Thurs
4 - 2 AM Friday
12 - 2 AM Saturday

Club News- Dairy Society
BY DAVID CROOKE '74, Publications Officer
The Delaware Valley College Dairy Society met on Tuesday
April 10, 1973. The main event of the meeting was election of
officers for next year. New officers elected are as follows:
president, John Grice *74; vice president, David Crooke '74;
annual editor, Gayle Berger '75; secretary, Cammy Wood '75;
treasurer, Bob McCoy '74; "A" Day representatives, Ken
Grube '75 and Dave Longenecker '75; and publications, Jed
Beshore '76.
"A" Day was also discussed at the meeting. Forty members
have signed up to show cows on Saturday which promises to
be one of the biggest shows ever. Jack Fairchild will be the
judge, and the contest will be for fitting and showing. The
main feature on Sunday will be the cow judging contest
operated by the judging team. Other events at "A" Day will be
a milkshake stand, a lab exhibit demonstrating feed analysis
and dairy cattle evaluation techniques, and a calf exhibit.
The dairy club trip will be Friday April 13 and Saturday
14. Forty members will be traveling by bus to Virginia
Polytech Institute in Blackburg, Virginia. We will tour several
farms on the way down, have a joint dinner with the V.P.I,
dairy club, and tour their facilities.
Pool Hall Policy
BY BARRY HASSLER, Pool Hall Manager
The pool hall facilities are under the jurisdiction of Student
Government and a function subordinate to the Recreation
Committee. The pool hall provides a form of recreation, and
service to the student body. In order to keep these facilities
open and available for use, it has been necessary to establish
certain rules. The rules are as follows:
1. The pool hall will be open on a 24 hour basis, unless
vandalism necessitates its closing.
2. All functions within the pool hall will be under the
direction of its manager, and in coordination with the
Recreation Committee.
3. Any damage to the facilities, not within the normal
course of depreciation, will necessitate the closing of the
facilities and the imposition of fines. If for any reason the
closing period should extend past the time of one week, it will
necessitate the approval of the Damage Committee.
The Student Government budget of $500/year covers the
purchase of new supplies, and the annual refelting of the
tables. With the addition of the table from Lasker Hall, has
come increased use of the pool hall facilities. Often all the
tables are in use till 2 or 3 A.M. Students take a break from
their studying by shooting a game of pool. Increased use of the
tables has caused them to wear faster. This usage necessitates
refelting the tables once a semester, which makes meeting the
budget even mordifficult, without the occurence of senseless
and needless damage.
The pool hall is the only recreational facility open to the
students 24 hours a day. Let's try to keep it that way!

AN EDITORIAL COMMENT
BY HOWARD MARK MANDEL, EDITOR
About a month ago I attended j|
the Founder's Day Convocation, an
annual gathering held here at Del-
Val to honor the founder of this
institution. It is a gay pageant with
board members, faculty, adminis-
tration, staff, students, and their
friends. Much ado was given to the
growth of the physical plant of
Del- Val, but not a word was men-
tioned about the student body. It
seems as though bigger and better
buildings are the main concern; but
how about the students who oc-
cupy those buildings?
Any business operation must
continue to relate to its consumers
in order to function. This function
is performed in most enterprises by
directors who constantly strive to
unearth the natural progressive
changes in the society which they
serve. How then can the directors
of this institution expect Del-Val to
survive much longer, when very few
attempts are made to establish a
viable communications network be-
tween the student body and the
decision-makers?
Very simply - the Board of Trustees of this college doesn't
know what the Hell is going on here (at least they never
indicate that they do). I really wish I were wrong, but nobody
can seem to show me my error. Samuel Golden, a Board
member, put it in a nutshell: ". . .a bunch of fellows [Board of
Trustees] from different worlds, different ideas, different
thoughts, different backgrounds [from the Student Body] . . ."
Question — How can people from different worlds, ideas,
thoughts, and backgrounds even consider themselves qualified
to direct policies which affect this student body? Decision-
making at this level can not possibly be proper without a
direct communications network (which we don't have). As it is
now, the Board of Trustees makes its decisions by relying very
heavily on the opinion of Dr. James Work, our President. Dr.
Work virtually lives in Florida during the school year. On rare
occasions Dr. Work is on campus (usually a few days before
Board meetings and this year during accreditation). He is
usually found in his office in Lasker Hall. Even his absence
would not be so bad, if he tried to communicate with the
student body. Attempts at communication have not been
made for the three years I have been here, except for the form
letters sent to Freshmen and Graduating Seniors.
Dr. James Work has been President of this institution for
the past 26 years without taking a penny; he has seen it grow
from an infant to its present adolescent stage. Most of what we
are today is related to Dr. Work's fund-raising abilities and
careful direction. But there is one more stage to growth
though — adulthood. Del-Val, as an institution, has not yet
reached maturity. The directors have concentrated on en-
couraging the growth of our physical plant, the expansion of
our faculty, and the development of our staff. There is another
constituent which unfortunately is seemingly being ignored —
the student body. Maybe we are last on the list, but this
college will never mature without the administrative en-
couragement of, and response to, the evolution of the student
body. Del-Val is just like an adolescent; the arms and feet are
out of proportion to the rest of the body. If everything
doesn't catch-up the person remains clumsy and disabled for
the rest of his life. In the same light — if the existence of an
evolving student body is not soon recognized — Del-Val will
remain a clumsy and disabled institution.
This school may be "your baby" Dr. Work but there comes
a time for all parents to encourage independence. Encourage
the participation of a student on the Board of Trustees, so you
can have a direct connection with the student body when
questions relating to us arise. Even when the topics don't
directly relate to students, would not the ideas of our
generation be of interest? Let us learn from one another.
Better yet employ administrators who you feel are qualified to
make policy decisions relating to students, or present that
power to existing administrators (after all they will always be
in contact with students).
Del-Val is ready to try its pair of wings; not to fly away,
just to rise progressively higher to attain new levels Why are
you holding us back? You will agree — just come to us and
listen! Sit back, see what kind of father you have been, and
always - always stay right where you are. Del-Val owes its life
to you.

To The Ram from Dr. Orr -
Dear Dr. On:
Thank you for your donation of some chemical literature
(unbound duplicate journals) to the Wilkes College library.
While our losses have been tremendous, we have been
encouraged by the hundreds of responses to our letter of July
17 which were greater than we ever anticipated. We are indeed
grateful to our colleagues for their offers of assistance in
rebuilding our library holdings.
On behalf of the students and faculty at Wilkes, please
accept our thanks for your generous offer and for your
interest and concern for the College.
Sincerely,
James J. Bohning, Chairman
Department of Chemistry
Wilkes College
To the Editor -
Howard,
Please don't submit to me any further tasteless articles
written by your staff. (Reference to April 17, 1973 issue,
articles by Bruce Milstein and Wayne Csupa). My linguistic
efforts have proved fruitless, and the contents of the contro-
versial issues degrade one even to read them.
It has been a total waste of my time, the language and
attitudes of most articles being of equal quality — low grade.
Apparently bad manners complement bad grammar!
Please delete my name as faculty advisor.
You're on your own!
Dr. George Keys
Ed. Note — The faculty Advisor helps The Ram by correcting
errors which may be present in submitted articles.
Dr. Keys, in this instance, could not approve the articles
because of personal beliefs which would result in censorship.
I thank Dr. Keys for his great help in the past and
appreciate his decision to resign therefore eliminating any
form of censorship.
Mr. Harry Reist has agreed to assume the position of
Faculty Proofreader. Mr. Reist corrects grammatical errors and
in no way changes content.
To the Editor:
This past issue of The Ram was the most enjoyable and
invigorating yet to come off the presses.
Your paper has shown good taste in selecting articles of
wide interests and opinions.
Two articles in particular caught my eye. Those were the
ones written by Csupa and Milstein.
These two articles prove that The Ram is NOT an
ADMINISTRATION "ASS KISSING" PUBLICATION.
Keep up the good work and good judgement.

Del - hi Coeds Protest Inequality
BY MARY JANE FULLAM
Intelligencer Staff Writer
Reprinted with permission from Page 1 of the April 9, 1973
issue of The Daily Intelligencer, Doylestown, Pa.
Delaware Valley College of Science and Agriculture stu-
dents are expected to congregate in Cooke Hall tonight to
demonstrate "anger, frustration and disappointment" to the
board of trustees.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, continued
To The Editor:
I have read with interest the recent issues of The Ram and
have noted the sense of disquietude and dissatisfaction which
has inspired some writers to contribute their efforts to the
College newspaper. I have also noted that the serious minded
student who is seeking a good education and is pleased and
proud of the progress the College has made over the years is
seldom heard from.
Startingly conspicuous by its absence from every issue of
The Ram was any reference whatsoever to the newsworthy
reaffirmation of accreditation of Delaware Valley College by
the Commission of Higher Education of the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
The Commission reevaluates every accredited college at ten
year intervals in order that standards of its member institu-
tions are maintained.
Dedicated members of the Faculty, Administration and
Board of Trustees of Delaware Valley spent several years
preparing for the visitation of the committee of professional
evaluators which took place in November 1972.
The long-awaited results of their study arrived by letter
dated March 6, 1973 from Elizabeth J. McCormack, Chairman
of the Commission. With pride I quote from this letter. "It is a
pleasure to advise you that the Commission has voted to
reaffirm the accreditation of the Delaware Valley College of
Science and Agriculture. This action reflects the confidence of
your colleagues in the contribution you are making to higher
education and their belief that you will continue to strive to
improve the quality of education offered by the Delaware
Valley College of Science and Agriculture."
Shouldn't this be the most significant progress the College
can make? Isn't this what it's all about?
Jean H. Work
Administrative Assistant
To the Editor:
This letter is to some of the cheap students who drive cars
and are so afraid of getting raped by a freshman male student
who is hitchhiking right out in front of Alumni Hall. I am a
freshman male student who is pretty sick of being passed by
D.V.C. students when I am thumbing. You think that even out
of decency a student could pick up a fellow student, but no,
some people are too cheap and would not stoop to such a low
level. But I'd like to thank all those S.O.B.'s, and I'll remember
them if I ever see them in the same situation.
Name Withheld
Launched by the coed campus population, the demonstra-
tors seek visitation rights in their sole dormitory equal to those
enjoyed by male students throughout their eight dorms.
A sit-in is set to begin at 6:30 in front of the college
cafeteria, with students occupying the ground floor of Cooke
Hall until midnight, or "until the point is made — the point
being to register the legitimacy of the grievance and the scope
of campus support.
Students will bring books, snacks and a pillow to sit on.
Girls' rooms will be locked. Upstairs rooms may be open for
student study.
Current campus regulations forbid any male to enter Cooke
Hall at any time.
Since September 1972 women have been granted visiting
privileges in the men's residences during prescribed hours every
day of the week.
DelVal coeds, whose names are withheld, explained their
dilemma Saturday.
"What we're doing tonight is the only thing we can do —
it's the only avenue open to us," they said.
The group has twice requested visitation privileges from the
board through the student government, in October 1972 and
again in February. Both petitions were rejected.
"The reasons given for initial rejection were safety precau-
tions," the girls said. Acknowledging the board's concern, the
group resubmitted a modified petition which curbed the scope
of their visitation privileges.
This was rejected in a three-line letter dated March 6 and
sent to the student government. No explanation was offered.
Student body president, Murray Klein, sent a letter of
appeal to the board last week asking them to reconsider their
decision. No official response has been forthcoming.
"We're people," said the spokesmen. "We're the same as the
guys on campus. We want to be treated the same."
The girls say they have had no verbal communication with
the board nor do they have that opportunity. The spokesmen
said they do not know their trustees' names or when and
where they meet.
"We're told by our advisers 'the trustees know best," said
the girls. "We're told they are running successful business and
corporations and therefore they know how to run a college.
This is not logical.
"Education is not a big business."
40 On Campus
Women have lived on Del-Val campus since Septemter
1972. There are approximately 40 on-campus coeds with
another 30 off campus. Male enrollment is over 1,000.
"The guys are being discriminated against as much as the
girls," the spokesmen said. "They want visitation privileges for
us too. But they're not pushing us as has been contended. We
want visitation rights."
The girls have reverted to their initial request for visitation
privileges equal to male students' rights. They feel the majority
of students will support the demonstration tonight. They also
feel that the faculty is in sympathy with their cause.
In an open letter referring to the sit-in, the coeds asserted,
"Our choice of behavior may seem extreme, but we have been
forced by the administration to take extreme action to obtain
simple rights.

Board Interview
BY HOWARD MARK M ANDEL, EDITOR
Below are partial contexts of conversations I had with
various Board Members a few weeks ago. I asked them if, as
members of the Board of Trustees of Del-Val, they would
approve the addition of a student to the Board as a non-voting
member.
SAMUEL GOLDEN
"Well, I'll tell ya, that's a very good question. I only have
one problem. The members of the Board, ya know, of Trustees
are in a position where they cater to the welfare of the college
overall. You know what I mean. In other words our big job is
not to mix in to the administration of the college. But we are
to do all we can to raise additional funds to keep the college,
you know, in good shape, and to make decisions that would be
for the good and welfare of the students in the best interests
of our ability. We are not mixing in with the administration
because then nobody knows who's what, what's who, you
know.
"Now the administration reports to us what's going on at
every board meeting. So we get a pretty good idea. Then we
invite the president of your student council to come in and
talk to us. And he comes and tells us good, bad and different,
or whatever it is. So that we have a good knowledge of what's
goin on where we can make a decision where we can help out
and make their lives better.
"Now when it comes to whether a student should be on the
Board of Trustees, there again we are in the position to answer
that we must leave this to the administration. In other words,
the Board does not take an interest. No I used the wrong
word. The Board does not take an initiative in this type of
question. Because we feel the administration is the one who
should make that decision. Now if the administration comes to
us and says that the President of the Student Body or the
student body have written a letter. I remember a couple of
years ago when the student body wrote a letter 'Dear Board
members we'd like to have open door policy' you know. Well.
"This is such a beautiful letter we said O.K. We concur —
Now it's up to the President to decide how much open door he
wants, or how much little open door he wants. You know. But
we concurred you know. Now if there is a letter that reaches
us at a Board meeting that says we the Student Council or
what have you, and so on by unanimous this and that, and
that request that (It should always be diplomatic, you get
more through oil than vinegar, you know) that we feel that we
would like to have one of our students as ex-officiary
(couldn't be a regular member cause he couldn't raise any
money). So he'd have to be ex-officiary or something. Well,
now, I myself can't make that decision. I can't because the
administration makes these decisions. And the administration
comes to us and says the student body wrote a letter. We read
it. Then we have to take a vote on it. Even if we agree, the
President still has the right — just like President Nixon has the
right — to make the final decision.
"This is the way it works, otherwise you have chaos. So it's
not a question of denying, or not wanting the kids to have
anything like that. I say kids because I'm a senior citizen. I
don't mean really kids — really college boys. By the way, I
know when the accreditation committee sent us an evaluation
of the college, they had a chapter about you boys. They said
they're the nicest bunch of kids they've ever seen. Very
wonderful. Highly disciplined. Ready to cooperate and take
advantage of the great education that this college offers for a
small student body with a terrific staff and terrific sophisti-
cated equipment. I work close with Penn State, Cornell, all the
land grant colleges' 30, 40 thousand students. Nobody knows
who's what. Here you got your agricultural hall, your chemical
hall. If a guy wants to learn something, he doesn't want to get
too worried about how many girls he can love, and stuff like
that, you know, he could really learn like hell. Because it's
really there. Compared to when I was a student we had
nothing but horse economy and manure to spread and work to
do and so on. That's the way it was Mr. Mandel.
"So if you want to quote me, the quotation is that you
called me and that I say that whatever the students desire
should make it known in some letter to the Board. But the
administration makes the final decision. Dr. Work and his staff
have to make all final decisions regarding the student requests.
Cause we of the Board, our big interest, is to listen and to
learn from them and do what we can to lend our approval to
the President. Or our disapproval, see? Then he is the one who
has to make the decision. If the student body has any desire
for something I think that the diplomatic way is, somebody sit
down and write a nice letter to Dr. Work to kindly present
their thoughts, and he will read it to us. Then there's some
discussion, and if the Board says they concur, fine. Whatever it
is, Dr. Work and the administration make the decision. I want
to go on record on that. Please don't misquote me, I think I
gave it to you right on the line. Right? I'd like to get out more
often to see the kids, go to the classrooms, even teach 'em. I'm
in agriculture all my life.
"Mr. Croushore has had me as a teacher to his classes in
animal nutrition, but when it comes to mixing into the
administration welfare of the college, I find after studying
other colleges that the best man to decide what's what is the
President of the college and his staff. Diplomacy is the big
factor. A very respectful suggestion would be to write out
your thoughts — the student body has thoughts — you're
young, yet maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong — but
maybe you're asking a hell of a lot to be on the Board of
Trustees because you sit there and you meet a bunch of
fellows from different worlds, different ideas, different
thoughts, different backgrounds. You know what I mean. And
you're too young to maybe understand what the meaning of it
all. But if the meaning is dedicated to your best welfare that's
the big thing isn't it? Now we do have your President of your
Student Council — he's cordially invited to every meeting to
come and talk to us. We listen to him and we don't send him
home. We discuss what he talks to us. I'm on record that I
can't give you an answer — the administration gives the answer
— we'll be glad to listen. O.K.? I want you fellows to feel that
we Board members, particularly we that graduated from the
school, are devoted to your welfare, that's our whole life's
work. But the kids don't know us. They don't know who we
really are. And when I go out there, they don't even know I'm
around. I graduated in '22 — you weren't even born then. You
wouldn't believe it. I don't feel any older than the day I left
school.
"Nice to talk to you Mr. Mandel, and please don't misquote
me. But the big idea is to say that I understand, and we feel
very devoted to the boys — our whole life is dedicated to make
your college a wonderful little college, a better college, and
make your life better. We are not that young to understand all
your problems, but we know what's going on. And then we're
an indepentent school, a private school, and maybe we're not
as liberal as Penn State or Princeton University where you can
go to bed with every girl you want to. Maybe we're not that
way. We have just a little better idea. We feel like we are
parents. We want to take over where the parents left off. And
be good fathers and mothers and aunts and uncles."
DR. LEVIN
"I see. Well, it would have to be taken through the Board.
I'll be glad to listen and see what the Board has to think about
it. I wouldn't want to make you a promise that we're going to
do this or that. But we'll take it up with the Board and see
what they have to say, that's all. I wouldn't want to make my
mind up until I heard what the rest of them have to say."
"Do you ever get a chance to come up here much?"
"Oh, I get up there about a half-dozen times or more a
year. I want to get acquainted with the students, and want to
see them satisfied. You've eaten in the dining hall, haven't
you? Well, that's my contribution."
MR. KRAUSKOPF
"I don't think I'd have one (comment) at this time. You've
got your president who comes to the meetings now, doesn't
he? Outside of that, at this time I wouldn't want to say
anything. No. You do have some representation at this time as
far as that goes. You already have somebody who sits on the
Board meetings, or at least comes to the Board meetings and
expresses the students' views."
"By the way, what relation are you to our founder?"
"Grandson."
MR. SHAPIRO
"Let me save us both a little time. I'd rather not give any
comments without first having them cleared with Jim Work. Is
he around at this moment?"
"Not right now." 4
"Well, I think it's a little bit delicate. I'd rather hear from
him before I give any interviews and certainly over the
telephone. I'm almost certain that he would not be pleased if I
were to speak for a publication without first getting clearance
with him. I'll call you back Mr. Mandel."
MR. WILLIAM MERZ
"It hasn't been presented to me bofore, so I haven't really
thought about it. My first reaction, and I'll give this off the
top of my head, alright, would be that I certainly would not
be against it. The better communication between the Board
and the student body the better. That's my general thinking.
Barring any valid arguments presented to the contrary that I'm
not aware of, I would be, I would look on it with favor."

SI age Protest For Rights
STUDENTS IN SUPPORT of Cook women mushroom to 300. Banner Reads "DVC — The uncollege, unprogressive, unconstitutional
BY MARY JANE FULLAM
Intelligencer Staff Writer
Reprinted with permission from Page 1 of the April 10, 1973
issue of The Daily Intelligencer, Doylestown, Pa.
"We have no say in policy-making. That's why this came
about," said a male junior student at Delaware Valley College
of Science and Agriculture following a peaceful demonstration
at the school Monday night.
A sit-in that mushroomed to 300 protesters according to
student estimates, was staged in Cooke Hall coed dorm to
protest coeds' lack of visitation rights.
The women are asking for visiting privileges equal to those
enjoyed by their male campus counterparts since September
1972.
The coeds are demanding visiting hours in their dorm from
4 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 4 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Friday; noon to 2 a.m. Saturday; and noon to midnight
Sunday.
Students ended their demonstration at 9 p.m. Spokesmen
said they "had planned to occupy the hall until as late as
midnight.
Twenty protesters who longered [sic] in Cooke Hall lounge
following the demonstration voiced afterthoughts.
A coed said, "If we take less than what the guys have, we
will be accepting less than our rights." This was in reference to
a position the group has adopted to refuse any modified
visitation rights proposal.
The coeds had submitted a modified petition to the board
of trustees in February which curbed the scope of their
visitation privileges. It was dismissed in a three-line letter dated
March 6 and sent to the student government. No explanation
was offered.
Another coed maintained, "We pay the same money as the
BOARD INTERVIEW, continued
DR. BORIS BLAU
"Well, I couldn't give you any advice. I didn't visit the
college already for two years. I'm on the Board for some
reason or other — they should take me off the Board. I am for
two years, didn't visit the college. I get literature here, and I
would love to help you. I don't know what's going on there. I
receive only invitations to come to meetings, and I couldn't
make it. That's been already going on for two years. I don't
think they miss me very much. For two years nobody inquires
why I'm not coming. Besides, the secretary sends me a note,
that's enough for me. I was there for quite a few years on the
Board, and I think I did a lot of things for them. I like the
school very much, but they are not interested in me so I felt
like I'm — something — 1 don't know, just another name on
the Board."
guys do, we deserve the same rights. We want the same
responsibility."
They Made Mistake'
"It — visiting rights — is a right we should have had from
the beginning," said another. "They (administration) made a
mistake shutting us up in this dorm, locked in at night. They
should treat us as people."
A male senior who participated in the sit-in said he had put
his graduation in jeopardy by supporting the protest. He said
he came "because this school's been too backward for too
long. It's about time for a change." He added, he did not
expect recrimination from the administration.
The students said three members of the administration
made attempts to curtail the protest. Students quoted Mrs.
Evelyn Porter, adviser to women, as having said, 'If you have
men in Cooke's hallways you are knowingly breaking the rules.
This is no longer a peaceful demonstration."
Joseph Fulcoly, dean of students, allegedly said, 'If I were
one of you seniors, I wouldn't participate.' Students inter-
preted this as a threat against potential graduates.
Students said Mrs. Porter and Fulcoly and a third adminis-
trator, Robert Tasker, assistant dean of students manned the
entrances to Cooke Hall. Students said they issued threats of
expulsion.

300 PROTEST AT COOK HALL
Hie students said they ignored them politely and entered
Cooke.
(For the first time in 20 years, Delaware Valley College
officials barred an Intelligencer photographer from a campus
building and threatened arrest for trespassing. Dr. James Work,
college president, was not available for comment on the action
by Fulcoly. He is out of the area.)
Fulcoly Declines Comment
This morning Fulcoly, dean of students, replied, "No
comment at this time" to reporter's queries on peacefulness of
the demonstration, legitimacy of students' demands or possi-
bility of recrimination against male students who violated a
school regulation by entering the halls of the coed dorm. He
estimated the protesters "closer to 200" than the 300-strong
student estimate.
The demonstration started at 6:30 p.m. One coed said
about 6:20 there were only 12 to 15 guys assembled . . . "then
people just started coming and coming ... we were 300 strong
by the time we got to the hall ... It was really great to feel all
those people behind us."
One student said, "We really like this school, but we want
to change it. They (administration) are hung up on tradition."
Student body president Murray Klein received a letter from
Dr. Work Monday morning. Coming in response to Klein's
request that the board of trustees reconsider the coeds
modified proposal for visitation proposals, the president said
the board would reconsider the measure April 28.
Now students are saying "it's too late." They do not want
to wait that long and they do not want the modified rights.
A male junior said, "We have no communication or say on
anything. We just put a biU through student council and it
comes back, usually with a 'no' on it."
Students said they plan no specific follow-up to the
demonstration until they receive word from the administra-
tion.
They discussed massive petitioning and the possibility of
submitting a new proposal for visitation privileges.
A spokesman said students feel the purpose has been
accomplished.
Students claimed support of the American Civil Liberties
Union, which would provide legal aid if services are needed;
National Organization of Women and the Philadelphia
Women's Liberation Center.

iridic Stales' Evaluation
BY HOWARD MARK MANDEL, EDITOR
We have received many requests for information about
Del-Val's recent reaccreditation by the Commission on Higher
Education, Middle States Association of Colleges and Second-
ary Schools. Following is a report of the findings of the
commission. Many thanks are extended to Dr. Winton Tolles,
Assistant to the President, for his help in preparing this article.
The team who visited Del-Val from November 12 through
November 15, 1972 was headed by John J. Theobald,
Executive Vice President of the New York Institute of
Technology. Other members were Edward J. Malloy, Jr., Dean
of Students, Union College, Schenectady, New York; Leonard
Cohan, Professor and Director of Libraries at the Polytechnic
Institute of Brooklyn; Joseph Finkelstein, Professor of History
and Economics at Union College; Mrs. Helen W. Gjessing,
Associate Professor of Biology, College of the Virgin Islands;
Stanley M. Holberg, Professor of English at St. Lawrence
University; Richard Merritt, Associate Dean, Professor of
Horticulture, Rutgers University; and Anthony Procelli, Vice
President for Business Affairs and Treasurer Hofstra Univer-
sity. Samuel Marcus, an Associate in Higher Education from
the Pennsylvania Bureau of Planning also worked with the
team.
Dr. W. Mertz, from Del-Val, spent about one year, with a
team from Del-Val, working on a self-evaluation. So - What
did the team have to say?
In general the team believes that Del-Val is doing a fine job,
below are some of their ideas and comments.
The Programs in Plant and Animal Science
In overall terms it was felt that the program was excellent.
The faculty are competent and equipment and facilities
excellent. Students and faculty feel that emphasis on develop-
ment of writing skills should also be stressed. In the future
they suggest an Equine Science and Laboratory Animal option
in Animal Husbandry, and an Arbor Culture option in
Horticulture.
The Programs in Chemistry and Biology
The team considers the division very well run and viable.
There is general praise for the freedom extended by the
department heads in the planning and running of the courses,
and the team teaching method used in General Biology and
General Chemistry. They consider students in this area a bit
above the average for the college at large. They continue by
saying that, unfortunately, admission to veterinary schools
today is at least as difficult as admissions to medical schools.
Our faculty has realized this and is working on the develop-
ment of alternative tracks. For example, ecology, converva-
tion, wildlife management, pollution control and marine
biology are considered viable alternatives.
The American Chemical Society requirements in chemistry
tend to discourage those who wish to enter high school
teaching, small business operation, laboratory technology,
experimental agriculture, and the like. They suggest therefore
that a less rigid chemistry major also be offered.
The Business Administration Program
The team complimented Mr. West, chairman, as being
young, able, energetic and a man who has accomplished a great
deal in a short time. Business has not yet fully sharpened its
objectives; in some respects trying to do too much, and in
others too little. The time has come to make a decision as to
whether to follow the traditional business pattern or create a
unique position, offering a program pointed specifically at the
needs of the "small" business man, rather than toward the
development of specialists.
STUDENT SERVICES
The Admissions Office
The team had nothing but praise tor the Admissions office,
Mr. Craver, and the staff. The office develops about three
times as many applicants as are finally matriculated. This is
rather good preformance for a college of this type.
The Office of the Registrar
The office, in general, does a fine job. It may, however, be
at a point, staff-wise, where an extended illness of one of the
staff could seriously handicap it in its work. This problem
should be examined.
The Office of the Dean of Students
This office handles personal problems and does some
academic counseling, but it is still regarded by some students
as disciplinarian in concept. This will have to be overcome
before its effectiveness can be achieved.
The Director of Placement
Mr. McClelland also has the responsibility for Public
Relations. Despite this apparent dilution of effort, he does an
excellant job.
Physical Education
There is a well developed intramural program. The facilities
are well used, thoroughly adequate, and efficiently operated.
When we realize that 51% of entering freshmen have won
their varsity letters while at high school, the importance of
both varsity and intramural programs becomes evident.
The influx of women to the campus will present new
problems. Facilities for women are still scant.
Financial Aid
Financial aid is provided to 499 students on an average of
$850 per student. The college's efforts to solicit more black
students from the high schools in Philadelphia may require
significant expansion of this office.
Student Government
In the overall sense, the student activities program at
Del-Val is a good one. It is a bit more regulated than at many
other institutions, but the authorities see the program, in part,
as an instructional tool. This concept is working and should be
applauded . . . but it does also call for constant attention to
communications.
Students feel that there is a lack of communication beyond
the level of the faculty advisor and the Dean of Students. This
is not an unusual situation and rarely responds to the mere
setting up of "opportunities to be heard." It is much more
likely to reflect such things as a lack of "feed back" on what
happens to our recommendations after they are made. A
possible lack of adequate involvement at the level of our
department majors, a failure to quietly sound out student
opinion before changes are made, and the like.
There are also some complaints in the area of social life:
longer visiting hours, liquor on campus, matching curfews, and
concern with regard to such matters as the present "quality
point" grading system, wages for summer employment, etc.
Without in any way "pooh poohing" student concerns, these
seem to be relatively minor matters. A more active approach
by the Dean of Students is suggested. Solutions to these
problems could do much to prevent what is now minor unrest
from someday becoming critical.
Future
In the next five years Del-Val plans to limit enrollment
increases to no more than 25% (a total of I 250 students).
The only new offering which is being considered is the
possibility of a nurse's training and paramedical program in
cooperation with the hospital which will be built next to the
Dairy.
AREAS OF SPECIAL COMMENT
General Studies
The fact remains that most of the students and perhaps
even the faculty look upon the general studies as a necessary
chore. The general studies teaching staff looks upon itself as
playing a "second class citizen" role Unless this kind of
attitude can be overcome, it is difficult to see how the
program can be improved.

May 11.1973
MIDDLE STATES' EVALUATION, continued
The curriculum should be reviewed with the idea of
creating a program more meaningful to students in the modern
era, team teaching, greater student choice, supervised and
independent study, and the like. Greater emphasis should be
placed on the use of the library. This could be done on a
relatively free rather than "narrowly" assigned basis.
In a letter which was sent to the committee, Dr. Work said
that "every effort will be made to effect changes in the
attitude of some faculty members and some students towards
the field of General Studies . . ."
COMMENT
All and all it was a fine evaluation by the commission.
Del-Val has the major framework set. Now that we have been
rated as good as other colleges let's try to be better. As we say
good-bye to this school year, I look toward the next as
another year of growth. As a student, 1 really hope that
communications improve. Within the past few weeks Jack
Facciola, newly elected president of Student Government,
received word that he may now discuss issues with The Board
of Trustees (a one-sided report was all previously permitted).
As students we are slowly progressing, hopefully we will gain a
bit more respect from the administrators and Board. Hopefully
the administrators and Board will gain a bit more respect from
us. We both don't have it. We both have to earn it.

On March 24, 1973, after several years of hard work, Mr.
Thomas Zimmerman received his doctorate degree from Penn
State. His thesis was entitled "The Effect of Amendment,
Compaction, Soil Depth, and Time on Various Physical
Properties of Physically Modified Hagerstown Soil."
Dr. Zimmerman was involved with his doctorate thesis since
1968. Prior to that, he leceived his B.S. at Ohio State in 1966,
and his Masters at Penn State in 1969. He came to Del Val's
Agronomy Department in September, 1971 .
At Del Val, Dr. Zimmerman is involved in the Soil
Conservation Society and Soil Judging. He is also the Associate
Director of the Bucks County Conservation District, and a
member of the American Society of Agronomy, the Soil
Science Society of America, the Soil Conservation Society of
America and the Pennsylvania Turf Grass Council.
On behalf of the Soil Conservation Society, the Agronomy
Club, and the Agronomy faculty, we would like to congratu-
late you, Dr. Zimmerman.

Under the experienced, watchful eye of youthful head
coach, John Silan, DVC has constructed an impressive 7-1
record in the Middle Atlantic Conference thus far this season.
If the Aggies sweep their remaining three crucial games,
they will be assured of a sole first place finish in the Northern
Division MAC. Those tests will be against Washington College,
away, May 3rd and a home twinbill encounter with Juniata on
May 5th.
In addition to an early season twinbill sweep of Susque-
hanna University, all other Aggie victories have been single 9
inning tests, highlighted by big wins over previously unbeaten
Philadelphia Textile and Upsala College. The loan Aggie loss
was recorded at the hands of struggling Ursinus College at
Collegeville, Pa.
Many important factors have been attributed to the green
and gold success story, hjustle, experience, depth, morale,
coaching, but perhaps most important, individual per-
formances have set the winning tempo for this year's team.
Among the leaders are highly talented, pro prospect, pitcher
Bob Polinsky, both defensive and offensive standouts; Captain
Dave Ferenchick, Andy Timko and Wayne Remo, and the
club's leading hitter Kevin Foster.
Student Summer Jobs
JOB Tour Assistant
PAY $ 1 85.00 per tour (average length 8 days)
plus: free food, free lodging, free jet and travel fare.
PLACE Hawaiian Islands and Grand Canyon
There has been much interest paid in the last several years
to assisting students in search of summer employment. A good
summer job can be an outlet for individual creativity, and is a
traditional source of many learning experiences. The money
earned also helps students and their families with the soaring
costs of education.
This year (Summer 1973) we invite all students to apply to
us for summer employment which we feel will be both
interesting and rewarding. As stated above, we now anticipate
tours to Hawaii, and to the wilderness area of Utah and
Arizona. Students will be hired as Tour Assistants. They will
perform a number of functions in administration, planning,
passenger assistance, and leisure activities.
QUALIFICATIONS: Must be at least 16 years of age by
July 30, 1973 Good health Average intelligence Pleasant
personality Parent permission fof 16 and 1 7 year olds.
For both young men and young women, hair can be any
length. Emergency medical care will be provided if needed
while in our employ. We suggest applying as soon as possible
for these positions. If two or more students desire to spend the
summer working together, we will do our best to schedule this
when informed. It is not necessary that you work the entire
summer, i.e., it is perfectly alright to work part of the summer
and then fulfill other personal plans such as summer school,
traveling, etc. We are an equal opportunity employer and all
young men and young women are encouraged to apply by
writing the address below. When writing to request an
employment application, it is very important to also enclose a

Bulletin- Jets Sip Finite
BY DREW KOTALIC
Two weeks ago Jim Foote, Delaware Valley's starting
quarterback and punting specialist, signed with the New York
Jets as a punter. He was the first Aggie drafted by New York,
and only the second player to hit pro status from Delaware
Valley. Earlier scouting reports gave Foote expectations of
either Dallas or San Diego. Instead Jim Foote reports July 10
to the Jets' summer camp at Hofstra University.
Foote was the only punter drafted by the Jets. Steve
O'Neill, their present starting punter, has been having trouble
with his knees. Since his rookie season when he replaced Curly
Johnson, O'Neill has been having problems The Jets also
expressed interest in Foote when they learned of his experi-
ence at quarterback.
After talking to Jim recently, this reporter learned wedding
bells will ring on June 2. Susan Dumay will become, let's say,
the Jets' No. 1 punter's bride.

CURRENT INCOME AND MATCHING EXPENSES:
Student Fees - This represents the tuition which students and
their parents have paid. $663,000 of this item is
contributed by Pennsylvania State Scholarships, Educa-
tional Opportunity Grants, Work-Study Programs, and
National Direct Student Loans.
State Appropriations - Pennsylvania, in its general budget,
appropriates funds to each college and university in the
state.
Student Activities - This represents the income from student
government fees, and athletic events. Evidently, the
college received $8355.29 more for these activities than
it spends.
Organized Educational Activities - This item includes the
income from the farms, the dairy, the greenhouses, the
orchards, and any other activities run by the college for
use as teaching aids. The college spent $18,388.05 more
to run these activities than it received from them in
income.
Other Sources - Dr. Work's office stated that this item
included returns on investments made by the college,
and income from miscellaneous sales.
Auxiliary Expenses - This item represents income from fees
paid by students for housing, food in the cafeteria,
bookstore income, and income from athletics. The
college received $212,895.96 more for these services
than it spends.
Student Aid This item includes all funds received by the
school for distribution as scholarships. The school
actually distributed $102,175.27 more than it receives in
scholarships.
NON-MATCHING EXPENSES
Administrative and General Under tins heading is included
non-teaching salaries and expenses incurred in adminis-
tering the affairs of the college. Note that this item
amounts to approximately $315 per student.
Student Recruitment This is an advertising expense and
includes college nights, posters and other promotional
activities by the college to attract students.
Employee Benefits - This expense is for non-salary benefits
offered by the college to its employees. An example is
health insurance paid by the college.
Public Relations and Fund Raising Self-explanitory
Instruction This is the salary expense of the teaching staff.
Assuming that there are 88 teachers, the average salary is
$11,507.
Departmental Research and Contract Research is the expense
for the research the school conducts. There doesn't seem
to be much research going on.
Library - This is the cost of running the library and probably
includes the librarians' salaries.
Educational Plant - Operation and Maintenance - It costs
money to keep the buildings from falling apart and the
crabgrass from taking over, and this is how much it
costs.
Appropriation to Plant Funds for Debt Retirement and Debt
Service - This money was used for making payments on
mortgages and other debts incurred in running the
college.
COMMENT, an editorial view
BY DOUG SMITH, STAFF REPORTER
During the fiscal year 1972-73, Delaware Valley spent
$8,697.93 more than it received as income. It is not unusual
for non-profit organizations to spend more than they take in,
but over several years the organization must break even. When
a budget for a coming year indicates that there will be a
deficit, then fees may have to be raised. The college's deficit
for last year was not quite three-tenths of one-percent. That
means that the college spent three-tenths of one-percent more
than it took in as income.
An examination of the College's Income and Expense
Statement is revealing in several ways.
First, the College gets very little outside support. Probably
ten per cent and not more than fifteen per cent of Del Val's
income comes from sources not directly related to College
activities. In fact, in future years the College can probably
expect less and less outside support. At present, state
appropriations and student aid, the two biggest sources of
outside funds, contribute only a little more than six per cent
of Del Val's income. State appropriations may decrease as a
result of Federal spending cutbacks.
So from whom does the college receive its operating funds 1
The answer, of course, is from the students and their parents
and from loans that are secured by the students for their
tuition. In fact, about 85 per cent of the College's curreni
fund income comes from tuition, fees and payments for room
and board. Although no comparison can be made with other
private colleges, the students' financial support of the college
seems extremely high.
For a college such as Delaware Valley, the current trend
toward delaying or abandoning higher education could be
disasterous. The costs of running a college continue to climb,
necessitating an increase in tuition. Fewer students also means
increasing tuition, because the faculty still must be paid and
buildings maintained, regardless of student enrollment.
Of course some expenses can be pared - programs can be
cut, teachers released; but these actions can only hurt the
college. I am in no position to make recommendations, as is no
student, but one entry of the statement disturbs me. Organ-
ized Educational Activities loses money - the farms, the dairy,
the greenhouses, the orchards, are losing money. Surely these
activities could be managed in such a way that they could, as a
group, at least break even.
All of us, students, faculty, and administration, should
think about the education and the services the students receive
at Delaware Valley. If a tuition increase comes, how many
more potential students will decide that Delaware Valley is
simply too expensive. Students are consumers of the College's
educational services; a college education is becoming less a
privilege and more an economic consideration on the part of
the student,

who participated in last semester's "food fight."

Senior Doubles
Warren Curt in, a graduating senior this year, is holding two
jobs. Mr. Curtin is not only a full time Aggie, but also has
recently purchased the Fill-Brook Garden Center. Fill-Brook
Center is located about one mile south of Doylestown on
Route 61 1 across from the Barn Cinema. He carries a beautiful
line of shrubs and trees, including many species not usually
found. Roses and annual bedding plants also bedeck his
exterior lot. Upon opening the doors one may find a large
assortment of garden supplies including an ingenious method
of displaying his tropical plant line. Also in the planning is a
health and exotic food section which will be housed in an
adjacent building recently damaged by fire!
Jlw Ram congratulates Warren and encourages the support
of all students and faculty. It is a job well done.

Soil Conservation Society
BY CATHY THOMAS 75
The Soil Conservation Society and the Agronomy Club held
their joint banquet on April 4th at the Collegeville Inn. In
attendance were about 25 club members and their advisors,
Dr. Prundeanu, Dr. Gold, and Dr. Zimmerman. There were
two guests, Mr. Henry Nixon, Director of the Bureau of Plant
Industry for the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture in
Harrisburg, and Mr. Paul Weiss, President of the Philadelphia
Association of Golf Course Superintendents in Philadelphia.
Following a delicious Smorgasbord dinner, a presentation
of certificates of scholarship awards on behalf of the Golf
Course Superintendents of America was made by Mr. Weiss to
two senior Agronomy majors.
The recipients were Wayne Remo and Jeffrey Segan.
Another student honored was Scott Cook, former president
of the Agronomy Club, who received the Outstanding Senior
Award from the American Society of Agronomy Student
Activities Subdivision.
The final event for the night was a slide presentation by Mr.
Nixon. His topic dealt with the work and responsibilities of
the Bureau of Plant Industry in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
Comments from students and advisors later reflected that
all had a very enjoyable time at the 1973 Joint Banquet.
Humane Leaders Med
UNITED ACTION FOR ANIMALS, INC., REACHES INTO
UNIVERSITIES IN DRIVE TO RECRUIT EXECUTIVES
Eleanor Seiling, President of United Action for Animals,
Inc., announced today that UAA is turning to the universities
in an intensive search for young executive talent. "A new
breed of humane leaders is needed," she said, "and they
should come from the reservoir of well-educated young people
now in our universities and about to embark upon their
careers." She noted that historically almost all of the poeple in
animal welfare work in general and laboratory animal work in
particular are there because of a keen sense of injustice to
animals and a high degree of motivation, but, she observed,
"they lack both the ability to inform themselves adequately
and the professionalism needed to solve complex problems."
Miss Seiling is definite about the qualifications needed by
candidates. "A broadly-based education is essential," she
stated, "because anyone who is going to be effective in helping
animals must develop a composite of many skills, including
biology, law, advertising, public relations, and corporate
administration. They must be adept at library research,
competent analysts of what they read, and possess the ability
to communicate articulately without being abrasively vocal."
She said that a highly motivated person with a broad basic
education can develop these skills, but that it would take time.
Miss Seiling estimates that it would require four years of
intensive on-th-job training with UAA to prepare a candidate
for the "kind of executive leadership we envisage."
The President of UAA pointed out that there exists a vital
need for leaders of executive calibre in the field of animal
welfare in general and laboratory animals in particular and that
the rewards are great, personally and professionally. "But,"
she added, "candidates for this work must show a very high
degree of motivation." Interested persons should write to
United Action for Animals, Inc., 509 Fifth Avenue, New
York, N.Y. 10017, giving full details, keeping in mind the
qualifications outlined.
The Summer
To all members of the Del-Val Community - have a
beautiful summer. After we have all separated, don't forget to
take a few hours to think back over the past year. See what
has been gained, what has been lost. Weigh the two, and make
your decision.
As for me, well, Del-Val is moving ahead slowly, (in relation
to administrative support of an advancing student body) and
in another 5 years it may catch-up. But it is moving, that's
important. It's a fun game to watch, but only from the
outside-looking in. Now it's your move my friends, your move.
We've gotten to second base, bring us home.
The answer, as it has always been, lies in the belief in a
four-letter word. Try it you'll like it.
