ALtAHV tTUOINT
A RayView of Sports
by Roy MeCloot
Warren Crow's feat of capturing the NCAA College
Division 123 pound title at Minnesota is the most out"
standing accomplishment we have ever heard of a
State athlete achieving. Not only did Crow win all five
of his matches, but he also scored two pins, one in the
finals, against the best collegiate wrestlers in the country.
This afternoon the A A Board meets to vote on whether
or not to send Crow to the NCAA University Division
Championships on March 24-26 in Ames, Iowa,. We are
confident that the Board will realize the importance of
such a positive move in sending Crow to compete there,
for to deny this champ a chance to test his own talents
against nationally reknown grapplers would be a totally
unjustifiable action.
We should like to officially congratulate Warren on
his outstanding achievement, and, being reasonably
optimistic, wish him the best of luck on the University level.

AMIA Criticism
At the beginning of first semester, AMIA participants elected four officers to run the AMIA program
for the year. And yet we found it increasingly difficult
to get statistics and standings for publication in the
ASP. Finally, through a direct appeal to the various
commissioners of the AMIA sports, we were able to
get a small amount of Information.
For instance, last week we ran the standings of the
five AMIA basketball leagues for the first time all
year, and then they were still amost two weeks behind
schedule. And if it were not for commissioner Kirk
Ellis' efforts, we would not have had them at all.
One would think that at least one of the four officers
elected last fall would have as his responsibility the
releasing of AMIA statistics. Or is that asking too
much? We do not feel that it is up to the individual
Commissioners to relay the information to us — their
job is to keep the league running.
Also, two weeks ago I was to have attended one of
the AMIA's scheduled weekly meetings to explain how
the ASP would handle AMIA sports. I say I "was to
have attended" a meeting because only two commissioners and myself showed up. And this, I am told, is a
regular happening.
If the. elected AMIA officials accepted their jobs to
have something to put down on applications, questionnaires, etc., then all I have to say is — you've got a
lot of gall, an awful lot.

Warren Crow: State's
First Notional Champion
matches at Marketo, Minn.
Crow Is a transfer student from
Cornell University. He graduated
from Linton High School where he
was the Outstanding wrestler In
the sectionals in both his junior
and senior years. In his senior
year, Crow was undefeated in 25
matches, scoring 20 pins.
He earned three varsity letters
at Linton, serving as captain his
senior year.
Crow finished second in the Eastern Sectional championships in both
his freshman and sophomore years
at Cornell, earning the school's
Most Valuable wrestler award as
a soph.
He was also picked by the coach
to the Coaches All-America team in
"Wrestling News," apopular wrestling magazine.
Unhappy at Cornell
Crow was unhappy with the pressures he was subjected to at Cornell,
so he transferred to Albany. He
had already been good friends with
Garcia from his high school days.
In his first half-season at State,
Crow was undefeated in six outings,
including one tie.
Perhaps the most amazing thing
about the 123 pounders NCAA win
is the men he beat, Here they are
in order:
Preliminary: Leslie Kempt, metropolitan Chamolon, 1965-66. Third
in the Coast Guard tournament, 1965;
11-1-0 dual- record this year. Crow
won an 8-2 decision. I
Quarterfinal: Davis Johnson; AllLutheran Conference Champ, junior

Budgets and Needed Revenue
The obvious solution to this problem would be to make
student tax compulsory. This would allow Student Association to know how much revenue it would have to work
with.
Steps are now being taken by members of Central
Council to do this; however, it is uncertain what the
chances of them succeeding or when student tax would
become compulsory.
What is needed is other sources of revenue for Student Association.
For the past few years athletic tax, which is levied
along with student tax, has produced a surplus of over
$50,000. One hypothesis that can be drawn from this
surplus is that the money awarded towards athletics
is not used entirely.
We would like to see an investigation of these books.
If this hypothesis is found true, we would like to see
Central Council attempt to persuade the proper authority of the need Student Association has for this money.
ft***************************
President Collins has already indicated that he feels
Student Association is of vital necessity to the University. Since he does hold this opinion, wc feel that u
transfer of money from the athletic surplus to Student
Association is not unreasonable.

Approving the budgets of the various Student Association organizations seems to be a greater problem
than anyone anticipated. Most of the organizations
have submitted budgets equal to or surpassing the
amount they asked for last year.
The repercussions of this are obvious. The budget
committee will have no choice but to cut many items
from budgets even if they are ricessary.
The reason for these actions Is obvious. The uncertain future of student tax necessitates the curbing of
expenditures by organizations.

Angry Whalen Book Analyzes
New York Destroying Itself
by Dr. Ivan Steen
1
"A City Destroying Itself: An Angry View of New York." By Richard J.
Whalen. Illustrations by Fellks Topolski. (New York: William Morrow
& Co., 1905. 127 pages. $3.50.)
The wrecker's ball swings at Pennsylvania Station; a transit strike
paralyzes the city; a labor dispute Interrupts newspaper publication; a
record budget Is submitted; the sales tax rises again; the city's credit
rating Is downgraded. Events such as these call attention to the plight of
New York City. Books and articles dealing with New York's many problems appear regularly. Richard J. Whalen, In "A City Destroying Itself:
An Angry View of New York," adds his voice to the outcry against some
facets of New York life which are making the Empire City a less desirable place-In which to live. Indeed, Whalen, a associate editor of " F o r tune" and author of "The Founding Father: The Story of Joseph P. Kennedy,1 1 although a New Yorker by birth, chooses to live on Long Island.
The things that make Whalen angry produce the same results in
others familiar with New York. Crime, air pollution, traffic congestion,
pedestrian architecture, destruction of notable landmarks, slums, and
urban politics are among the aspects of New York that evoke his anger.
The various drawbacks of life in New York have produced a middle-class
move to the suburbs and are resulting In an abandonment of the city to
the rich and the poor. Whalen thus envlsons the ultimate social and economic destruction of New York, Yet few people really seem to care.
Certainly not the politicians, who are more concerned with holding
power than using It in the public interest. Certainly not the businessmen,
--,
who enjoy the economic advantages of the nations leading city but who
rarely take an active part in advancing Its welfare. Certainly not the
middle class, who turn their backs on the city by fleeing to the suburbs.
Whalen points out several paradoxes on the New York scene. For
example, the city has a Department of Air Pollution Control, but It also
operates " a fleet of 4,200 poorly maintained buses," which spew forth
filth into the air. The automobile is not only a major contributor to this
foul air, but also makes life exceedingly uncomfortable for city dwellers
In many other ways. Yet municipal parking garages are proposed for
mid-town Manhattan which would lure even more automobiles into the
city. Not very long ago New York spent millions of dollars tearing down
elevated railways, but now the construction of an elevated highway
across Manhattan is proposed. Most new buildings In New York are devoid of any architectural distinction; but why erect a handsome building
when this results in a higher real estate tax?
While few elements of beauty are added to New York, much of what it
already has Is destroyed. Thus, the magnificent Pennsylvania Station
tumbles to the ground to lie replaced by a new Madison Square Garden
which will be combined with a thirty-three-story office building. While
Whalen laments the demise of this terminal, he dogmatically states that
it could not "honestly be called a great work (if architecture." There
are many (this reviewer Included) who would dispute that statement.
Yet Whalen agrees that Penn Station provided an appropriate entry to
a great city. Future travelers, Whalen points out, "will enter through
what amounts to a subway station,"
The spoliators even have cast their eyes upon Central Park. Huntington Hartford lias offered to pay lor the construction of an outdoor restaurant on the southeast corner of that park. This is a case of a nice
idea being proposed for the worst possible location. Whalen is unhappy
about the propsect of ruining this corner of the park, and suggests the
southwest corner instead, which he claims "badly needs a pavilion where
people might stroll or rest." Here, Whalen misses the whole point. The
very essence of Frederick Law Olmsted's original plan for the park was
that this greenery In the midst of the city never would be encroached
upon, Even the construction in the park of a seemingly worthwhile project would create a precedent which could result in the ultimate destruction of Olmsted's creation.
Clearly, Richard Whalen has brought Into focus many of New York's
problems. Yet others have done so before him. Whalen presents no
original Ideas and really offers no solutions. The book has several fine
sketches of scenes around New York, but these seem to have little relation to the text. Subtracting the number of pages taken up by the illustrations, this emerges as a rather thin book.

The play, written for an audience
of the early nineteen hundreds has
been given renewed interest for today's audience through the director's interpretation of character and

Mr. Rigley is played by Bruce
Tiffany, and Barbara Simon portrays his wife Mary. Mrs. Zooker
is played by Diane Somervllle, and
Lena Zooker, her daughter, by Barbara Smith. Peter Brooks plays the
part of the actor, Eugene Tish, who

"The Flattering Word," is produced entirely by members of the

'work is done by other members of

MARCH 25, 1966
A petition on the wall of the Draper
lunch room known as the Cave cries
out', "Save the Cave; Give.us back our
cruddy old tables." The protest is
due to the recent removal of the
Cave's traditional battered round
tables and the substitution of square,
formica topped ones.
The cave is traditionally a center
of intellectual activity and a haven
for many of the writers on campus.
Its reputation is probably due In part
to the Influence of Bob Judd, Bob
Korosaka, and others about six years
ago.
It was at this time that "suppression" was first published by a group
of people who frequented the Cave.
Judd, along with Tonl Mester, was
influential in stirring up a lut of
intellectual controversy at the time.
The General Cavlte reaction to
this renovation was one of general
alarm that the tradition of the Cave
would be violated. Many Cavites objected to the stereotyping of the
Cave and felt that it would " e n courage tourists,"
Harold Noakes, editor of the
'Thursday" stated, " I believe the
change from round to square tables
In the area designated as the Cave
Is a less subtle attempt on the part
of the 'squares' themselves to cement the more free thinking troglodytes to their unthinking faith to
the Square and proletariat ethic.
J. Roger Lee, former editor of
"Banner" feels that this "antiseptic cleanliness is going to blow the
image of a lut of the people around
here the image was not that distasteful."
"As a matter of fact It was quite
favorable as the center of what
Intellectual creativity there was."
Douglas Upltam of Central Council feels that although the new tables
may be an improvement over the
others, the fact that seating space
had been reduced by about six tables
presents a drawback.
An interview with Mr. Brewer,
head of the Faculty Student Association, concerning the reasons for
the change of tables produced a
surprising result.
Mr. Brewer explained that the
cafete'rla management had decided
to clean up the Conference Room
which is presently used by both
students and Milne seniors. The
plan was then extended to cover the
Milne Cafeteria also.
It was apparently without any
malicious intent that the men working on the cafeterias decided to put
the better of the old Milne School
tables in the Cave, thus replacing
the older ones In the Cave.
Mr. Brewer said, on Tuesday,
March 22, that "the cafeteria management would be glad to discuss
any deep loss resulting from this
change, and we will be glad to discuss a bettering of the situation,"
A more violent reaction to the
situation took place on Wednesday,
March 23, when a group of Cavites
painted the Cave wall in protest.
Mr. Brewer visited the Cave later
In the day but declined to comment
on the situation.
