Harriers Record Victory
Over Undefeated C. W. Post
Nix On
This past week, I received information to the effect that the Faculty
Senate has decided to recommend that the University not institute a
football program.
One of the members of the Senate objected to the implementation of
a football team on the grounds that the money which would be
expended for such an endeavor might be put to better use in other
areas. The contender was that it is more important to spend money
either for more professors or for higher salaries for those already
employed.
A second rationale offered by the Senate was that they did not want
to see Albany become a "football school." Many of the faculty
members felt that the :nception of football would reduce Albany to a
school known only for its football prowess. The idea is that Albany will
have its hard fought for academic rating overshadowed by the football
The Albany State Cross-Country team closed its schedule this past Saturday with a 24-36 victory over
C.W. Post. The harriers gave Post, whose Ron Stonitsch won the Albany Invitational a week ago, their first
loss of the year. Albany fmiineJihftiaion'wtfra seven win, two loss record in dual meets.
Stonitsch, who set the course record in the Invitational, also won the race Saturday completing the five

The Great Danes proved to
have too much depth for Post,
however, as the next seven
runners were Albany runners.
Larry Frederick followed the
two Post runners across the line to
finish third in the race. Following
Frederick were Paul Roy, Pat
Gepfert, Paul Breslin, George
Roiling, Don Beevers, and Jim
Mastromarchi.
Once again, t h e harriers
displayed the depth which has
enabled them to win many of
their meets this year. Even with
the opposition capturing the first
two positions, the harriers were
able to record a secure 25-36
victory.
team.
I find both of these rationales rather difficult to digest. Neither
argument, upon inspection holds water.
For years, the Athletic Advisory Board has been building up a fund
for the express purpose of financing a football team. This money has
come from the students themselves through an athletic tax, part of the
student tax which all students must now pay. Consequently, the
formation of a football team will not take away from the professors.
The addition of more professors of the increasing of salaries for
professors will not be hindered by the formation of a football team.
The second argument offered by the Senate seems completely
absurd. The idea that Albany will become an athletic school devoid of
academic excellence is nonsensical for several reason. Number one,

The formation of a football team would undoubtedly serve to

Nixon's Victory :
An Analytic View
by Dan Sabia
•/
ASP News Analyst
"Winning isalot more fun." So
said Richard M. Nixon, 37th
President of the United States, as
he reminiscenced about the long
struggle from his close loss of
I960, to his even closer win of
1968.
For Nixon, his election
represented years of hard work,
effort, and diligence. He was
therefore dissappointed by the
outcome of 111 it; election.
Drobably the closest one in
American history: with 9-1 per
cent of the vote in, the media
reported Nixon ahead by an
amazing 375 thousandths of 1 per
cent.
Even in the electoral college
Nixon did poorly by winning only
a small majority. In several states
he won by pluralities only, as he
did in the country at large. Such a
poor score means trouble.
And Nixon will have trouble. In
national trends he lost the cities,
labor, and the black and
low-income vote, he barely won
California, lost New York, and
even lost his V.P.'s state of
Maryland.
More significantly, Nixon was
unable to spread his coattails. In
the Senate races, the Republicans
remained in the minority by 16
seats; in the House the Democrats
held a 51 vote majority.
Obviously, the Republican
President is not fioing to find
Republican enthusiasm in his
Congress.
A recalcitrant Congress and a
split and very volatible public are
thus not only the two most
significant results of this election,
but mean also two terrible
headaches for the new President.
If anything has emerged as
outstanding in this remarkable
year, it is that the election solved
none of the problems facing this
troublednation, and indeed, may
have only exacerbated them.
What ts more, no one knows
what Nixon plans to do. He has
campaigned in the old style of

Year O f Studies In Nice
Sponsored By Univer sity
by
Amy Gurian
A meeting has been scheduled
for November 15, 1 p.m. in the
Humanities Faculty Lounge (HU
354), to discuss and distribute
information concerning the
program at Nice. The program is
under the direction of Associate
Dean Charles Colman, former
Head of the Department of
Romance Languages, and John
Nicolopoulos, Coordinator of
International Studies.
Freshmen, as well as all other
interested studentes, are urged to
attend so that they may plan their
pecific
new schedules with
requirements in mind.
The program in France,
sponsored by the State University
of New York, selects 10 students
from each of the four university
centers to spend a year at the
University of Nice. It offers those
majoring in French and others
who are qualified, an excellent
opportunity to improve their
knowledge of the French
language, culture, and way of life.
France is indeed the pivotal
point for most of the State
University's programs in Europe
and the Mediterranean area. Dr.
Simon Copans is presently

students to have closed doors
during open houses.
This bill is supported by a seven
page rationale. Hie four-part
rationale is composed of
statements and policies from
various sources.
The rationale is based heavily
o n s t u d e n t s ' rights and
responsibilities. It is felt that,
"Our University is committed to
recognizing maturity.' It is
assumed that students will
"formulate their own ideals and
standards."
"Obedience to a meaningless
rule conditions nothing more than
obedience to a rule. The present
residence regulations are not a
challenge; they do not stimulate
individual growth, thought and
action. Education is a life-time
process which is a vital part of all
human development. ' How can a
University educate when the
students place restrictions upon
education?"
' .Students should be allowed i.o
determine their own limitations.
They should become thoroughly
acquainted with the ideals of
individual
and
group
responsibility and freedom. "
MYSKANIA has taken the
position that "the curfew system
imposed on freshmen women has
no rational basis and ought to be
abolished." They feel that the
present system is "self-defeating
in its avowed objective," which is
to acclimate freshmen women to
the University.
The above proposals were
discussed by LAAC Wednesday,
but because of the lack of
information before the living area
ruling body, the four statements
were sent back to committee after
a two and a half hour debate. It is
expected that LAAC will act on
this bill next Wednesday in HU

Left vs. Right On Welfare,

Whether or not the state is

the topic on Wednesday night at

panelists. Moderating was BUI
Rohde.
Evans was the first to speak. He
felt that a definition of welfare
was necessary and proceeded to
define it as not only the fulfilling
of material need but also as
freedom from control of the state
over the individual's life.
He stated that it was the latter
type of welfare that is diminishing
in our country today. He used
welfare workers as an example,
saying that they ' nose around in
the affairs of people whom they
are supposed to be helping."
Next Iseman spoke, stressing
the fact that many people believe
that welfare is a human right
rather than a privilege. He
interpreted the right to property
to mean thu right to pursue
property. When one works and
earns property, then he owns it.
Iseman objected to welfare on
the grounds that the government
forces the majority of people to
work a certain amount of time to
support those on welfare.
Following Iseman was Pollack
who said that the stale thinks it
has the right to make decisions for
people becuase it grants them
economic and social welfare,
He also brought up the point
that

such as auto safety standards and
laws having to do with the

Pollack feels that the rules of
our society ensure that some
people will have decent housing,
food, and clothing, while others
will not. 'The things people want
should be theirs w i t h o u t
qualification, without control or
decisions not made by them."
The fourth to speak wus
Rawson, who posed the question,
' Why are there poor?" It is not
because there are rich, because
there are insufficient welfare
funds, because there aren't
enough jobs or schools, nor
because of the terrorization of the
poor by the police.
He said that the slate has
usurped the right of the people to
make decisions and that the poor
must reverse this.
Summing up, the YAF and SDS
found that they agreed that
through granting welfare, the
government has gone too far in
making decisions for the
individual. The poor cannot rely
more on the government to fulfill
their needs but must gain their
rights, forcibly, it necessary,
through the structure of the law.

Republicanism
The significance of the Republican success in
the contest for the presidency and that of the
Republican triumph in Albany County is not the
same. We were in a position, this year, to see a
classic example of the diversity allowed beneath
one party label.
The national Republican party chose to
re-instate an old order in Miami, which was older
than that of Johnson-Humphrey, and barely won
the presidency. In Albany, however, the old order,
which is the 48 year old Democrat machine, fell
victim to a new order, the Albany County
Republican Party.
The election of Richard Nixon, as tenuous as it
was, seems to signal a change back to the days
before Kennedy. His election is not tantamount to
national disaster, but because of his seemingly
inability to visualize meaningful change Richard
Nixon is capable of leading this country into
deeper domestic and foreign trouble, than it is in
now. Nixon's election is a victory of, but not a
mandate for, the conservative forces in the United
States today.
Although the national Republican victory is a
conservative victory, the liberals won in Albany
because of the election of Republicans Ray Skuse,
Fred Field, Arnold Proskin, Walter Langley, and
Dan Button.
It is in these men that the man who is not afraid
of the machine is placing his lot with. The
Republican party is the liberal hope in Albany.
Particularly with Proskin as District Attorney, the
Republican organization will be able to sustain
itself in political controversy with the Albany
Democrats. For the first time in almost a half
century, Albany may be considered a two party
county.
Perhaps with this infusion of new blood in this
county, more will be done to see that every
resident is given a fair deal and is not discriminated
against, that the police of the area will acquire a
better reputation and that there will be room for
more participation in the government of Albany
County.
Only in the United States, with its atomized
party structure, could there be a conservative and
a liberal victory on the same ticket.

Tax Defended
To the Editor:
This letter is written in
response to the various protests
that have sprung up as a result of
the outcome of the recent student
tax referendum.
In response to the petition that
is presently being circulated, it
should be pointed out that the
first statement of that document
is fallacious. The election
c o m m i s s i o n e r and assistant
election commissioner report that
no one who appeared at the polls
was denied his right to vote.
Approximately twelve students
who had not received their
validation cards did appear at the
polls. All were told to wait until
the last day of voting, on the
chance that tholr cards might
arrive. When the cards did not
arrive these people were allowed
to vote anyway, with a corner
being Bnipped of their I.D. cards.
Admittedly there were more
than twelve university students
who still had not received their
validation cards, however, if these
people had wanted to vote, the
logical thing for them to do would
have been to approach the
election officials and find out
what could be done about the
situation. About twelve people
did this and all were allowed to
vote.
Secondly, the athletic portion
of the activities fee has always
been there, and has in Albany's
history always been a part of the
student assessment, and as such
deserves no more special attention
than did the fact that Community
P r o g r a m m i n g Commission is
getting $86,633 of student
money, while Communications
Commission is getting $61,166.
On the question of the clarity
of the referendum's objectives, I
feel that it was made sufficiently
clear, to all those who bothered to
read the ASP, that the referendum
was indeed, a binding vote or the
student body, and not an opinion
poll.
The fourth point made on the
petition is one which I feel needs
clarification. The petitioners claim
that a 2/3 majority should have
been required since a mandatory
assessment is a restriction of basic
student liberties. My question is
what student liberties are being
restricted? The entire student
body voted to impose upon itself
a mandatory fee, which is entirely
in keeping with democratic
principles. Nowhere that I know
of is there u requirement of a 2/3
majority for a group of people to
impose a charge, upon themselves,
whether that charge be a fee, a
tax, or merely membership dues.

The exterminators came in

they did not do a very thorough
job because the roaches and the
other creatures have still been

I mentioned the problem to

She said she would get the

hope they do a better job this

In desperation and disgust, I
purchased a can of Black Flag ant

the smell, but since I do not
appreciate the presence of the
roaches, I had little choice. At
least when I sprayed, the smell
told mo I had used something to

Dear Student,
Today, our nation has many
serious problems. On the domestic
scene, we are faced with a rise in
civil disorders and crime.
Situations in our foreign affairs
which merit consideration must
include Sino—American relations
(relations with the People's
Republic on the mainland,), the
"war" in Viet Nam, and the
inefficacy of the United Nations,
as a truly international body, on
almost every level.
These problems, and many
others of equal importance, elicit
a powerful, largely reactionary
response from much of the voting
public, many of whom suffer
from the lack of an adequate and
c o n t i n u i n g e d u c a t i o n . This
reactionary trend is seriously
widening a social and political gap
b e t w e e n s e g m e n t s of our
population, which in turn must
The Greek Echo
inevitably lead to even greater
upheavals. That our nation can
survive a series of increasingly
severe crises as a viable element in
t h e gorwing international
community is very doubtful.
We are now being given, on
nearly every level from the family
up to the Federal government,
prejudicial material which tends
to foster, not disperse, hate,
bigotry, and violence; on both the
internal and international levels.
To continue to grow as ?. truly
democratic entity, we must
reverse the direction of this
" h a r d e n i n g of t h e mental
arteries."
I, as a concerned individual, am
asking you, as another individual,
to assist in reversing our present
trend towards hate and violence. I
have several suggestions toward
this improvement; the most
i m p o r t a n t of which is the
broadening of the scope of our
e d u c a t i o n a l s y s t e m , from
elementary school up to college
and establishing a code of
academic freedom for the
instructors and students in these
institutions. I propose that this
system should include more
emphasis on interaction, between
both nations and individuals, a
fairer assessment of minority
group contributions to society,
and a less ethnocentrically (U.S.)
oriented
view of
the
contemporary world. I further
suggest that our system be
revamped to guarantee a more
liberal, continuing education to all
people; regardless of their race,
creed, color, sex or economic
background.
I would also like to see an
effort
toward
diplomatic
r e c o g n i t i o n of the various
Communist countries which we
don't at present recognize, and
their inclusion in the United
Nations.
In closing, I will say that this

Homecoming;
Homecoming of any year reflects
a great deal of what the sororities
and fraternities are really doing
and, what they mean, and 'wo
specific examples are the floats
and the Scholarship Cup awarded
each year.
We chose these examples
because we feel that each depicts
a certain phase of Greek life. And
we think that probably the most
important part of being a Greek is
the interaction with other people
who share the same interests and
ideas. The Homecoming float
helps bring together these
ideas- aswell as the people. It's not
winning First Prize for the ' Best
Float" that counts, when you
come right down to it: it's the
spirit and participation and pride
in working together on something.
For the most part, this year's
floats showed a good deal of hard
work and imagination- and if not
a lot of work, then at least a lot of
spirit! And this is the essence of a
sorority or fraternity: spirit.
Even though several well
constructed floats were entered
by non-Greek groups, the main
portion of the parade came from
the Greeks, which goes to show
one just where the true spirit is.
From the conception of the idea
right down to marching behind
the finished product, the float
shows how we work together,
how we learn responsibilitiy, how
we function as a whole. It's really
hard to imagine the feeling of
pride when you look at something
your group put together: what it

Woodwind Quintet:
Superb Musicians
• by Paula
Paula Camardalla
Camardalla
Jlby
Music council really deserves a
round of applause for their
presentation of the Philadelphia
Woodwind Quintet last Sunday.
The performance can only be
described as professionalism at its
best.
The selections covered a range
of three centuries: Francesco
Rosetti (Franz Anton Rossler)
18th Century, Carl Nielsen, 19th
century, and Irving Fine and
Adalbert Markovic, 20th century.
It was evident from the very
first note that the performance
would be superb. They showed a
perfect balance of tone among the
instruments, executing each note
delicately, snd yet with clarity.
Special attention to the
dynamics and expression of
phrase groupings was particularly
good, especially in the two
modern pieces by Fine and
Markovic. Modern composers
demand rapt attention to pathos,
or emotional sensitivity to their
p i e c e s , because
rhythmic
experimentation, dissonance, and
control
are so
control of
of dynamics
dynamics are
important to the success of their
compositions.
Probably the most impressive
quality which the group had was
m s t e r f u l c o n t r o l of each
instrument. The French Horn
player constantly showed precise
intonation, and the clarinet player
should be commended for his fine
phrase endings.
The rapport that the group
established with the audience was
a welcome change. They did not
p r e s e n t themselves as stiff,
long-hair professionals, but rather
as warm, sensitive artists who
enjoyed being here, and playing
for the audience. I specifically
refer to Mr. Mason Jones, the
horn player, who is indeed a very
charming gentleman to meet.
If the audience showed a tiny
bit of boredom after an hour and
a half, the encore really socked it
to 'em, because everybody left the
concert whistling and humming
the melody-fur wrapped ladies as
well as students. All in all it was
an admirable performance.
Early American Jewry
Exhibition In Albany
The Albany Jewish Community
Center and the Gideon Lodge of
B'nai B'rith will present the
exhibit "American Jewry through
the 18th Century" in the Center
lobby
beginning
Sunday,
November 10 and ending Sunday,
November 24.
The exhibit is a collection of
colorful facsimiles of notable
documents and pictures relating
to early Jewish settlement in
America, and to the role of Jews
in the growth of the Colonies and
in the American Revolution. It
describes the arrival of Jews in
New Y o r k , Rhode
Island,
Philadelphia, Charleston, Georgia,
and Montreal.
It also shows the sketches and
records of the synagogues they
founded, their Hebrew school
rosters and title pages of early
American Judaica including the
first American prayer book, a first
Hebrew Bible and the first Jewish
sermon published in America. A
facsimile of the Order of Service
for Thanksgiving Day Service of
Shearith Israel Congregation on
Nov. 26, 1789 will also be on
view.
There are materials showing the
economic status of Jews in the
colonies and the role of the Jews

the Revolution. Included is a
copy of a letter welcoming George
Washington to Newport, Rhode
Island written by Moses Seixax, a
leader of the Jewish congregation.
The exhibit shows many
highlights in the history of the
American Jewish Community
from its humble beginning in
1654 until the close of the
American Revolution
Everyone is invited to attend
this exciting, informative and rare
exhibit. The exhibit will be
available for viewing during the
hours the Center is normally
open. These are 9:00 a.m. to
10:00 p.m. Monday through
Thursday and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. Friday and Sunday and 7 :00

Last week was not a prodigious
one for local movies. I regret
having missed "The Swimmer,"
about which I heard enough
mixed opinion to pique my
interest. I don't regret having
missed " B a r b a r e l l a "
("See
Barbarella Do Her Thing!") and
"Therese and Isabelle' ("A Sizzler
from France!... Starring Easy
Persson ('I a Woman').. A Radley
Metzger Production").
Call it dogmatism, but these are
some movies from which I shy
away instinctively, even if there
are no other movies around. The
o n l y game in t o w n isn't
necessarily worth playing.
Instead, I'm going to talk about
Francois Truffaut and his "Shoot
the Piano Player," to be shown
tonight at IFG. Now if it seems
that I spend a lot of time on
French films, it's because the
French cinema strikes me as the
most interesting in the world
today.
Italy has Antonioni, Fellini,
P a s o l i n i , and Bertolucci; in
E n g l a n d , there's Richardson,
Clayton, and Lester; Hollywood,
as far as I can see, can only brag
about Hitchcock, Polanski,
But mainly, the French cinema
constitutes the richest lot of all.
Truffaut began his film career
as a critic (hence the often
hermetic references and in-jokes
in his and other New Wave films).
This is typical of what Stanley
Kauffman
calls t h e
"film
generation"—young
people
steeped in films from their
childhood, who never saw the
inside of a studio but were
convinced that one could learn all
about movies simply by watching
them.
Traditionally, film directors
have come from the theatre,
television, or the industry itself;
but in France in the middle fifties,
directors began to enter film
production from the ranks of the
amateur but informed audience.
This gave their films a wonderful
zest, a playful sense of love for
this magical art form, that
sparkles in "Breathless," "The
400 Blows," and "Zazie dans le
Metro.'
The French New Wave style (an
offhand, improvisatory feel, a
genial disregard for cinematic
convention)
was
highly
influential, but perhaps more
importantly the movement served
as an example of what exciting
cinema young ''untrained" people
could make when they got the
chance.
Truffaut's first major film,
' The 400
Blows.'
wa„
unobtrusively unconventional and
won a huge
international
following. "Shoot the Piano
Player," his second, was overtly
iconoclastic and gratified neither
audiences nor critics.
Why? ' Piano Player" makes us
nervous. Truffaut's anarchism,
seen in content and attitude in
"The 400 Blows," becomes part
and parcel of his style in "Piano
Player"—and
confounds
traditional expectations about
mood, tone, and plot. In the
middle of a serious scene, a
gangster says, 'May my mother
drop dead if I'm lying''; quick
shot of his mother dropping dead.
In the middle of a comic
gunfight, a girl is suddenly killed.
These shifts, which can make one
so uneasy, are the essence of
Truffaut's purpose.
For Truffaut's vision of life
focuses on the ambivalence of
si t u a t i o n s — h o w
something
p a t h e t i c may have
funny
overtones, how an act committed
out of good intentions can have
evil consequences. From the
m i x t u r e of such disparate
elements we get a sense of an
almost Shakespearian richness:
high style and low, vice and
virtue, lyricism and violence, and
comedy and pathos clash not in a
pat, logical way, but in the
awkward unexpectedness of life as
we live it.
The a n t i - h e r o is Charlie
( u n d e r p l a y e d with
fragile
sharpness by Charles Aznavour), a
former concert pianist playing in a
Parisian bistro. He's cut off from
life, wants no involvement with
p e o p l e , no responsibility to
others; down the night streets he
walks alone.
But hesitantly, fumblingly, he
falls in love with a waitress.
Meanwhile, his gangster brother is
being pursued by rival crooks with
a n o r d e r t o kill.
After
innumerable bits of business,
slapstick, and side-gags, the two
plots collide—and Charlie returns
alone to his piano.
As in ' T h e 400 Blows,'' the last
shot is ambiguous: a close-up of
Charlie at the keyboard, his
chaplinesque eyes filling with
tears, as he ripples out his tough,
jaunty tune.
Characteristically, Truffaut lets
us down gently, lingering on this
image of a man who wants
nothing so much as to deny his
humanity and yet cannot. The
title comes from the signs that
used to hang in Old West saloons:
"Don't Shoot the the Piano
Player"—presumably because he's
got to keep the music going for
the rest of us.
It's this complicated amalgam
of sympathy, lyricism, comedy,
and moral earnestness that makes
"Shoot the Piano Player' one of
the most affecting films I've ever
seen.

Janis Ian, Alan King
At RPI Field House
Alan King, master garter from
Brooklyn, Janis Ian, petite young
folk singer, appear at the R.P.I.
Field House on Friday, November
8 at 8:.'i0 p.m. as part of the
R.P.I. Military Weekend.
Famed for his quick wit and
glib tongue, King moves into the
Field House as one of the most
popular of the present comics.
The slid' quipster who made
his start as a drummer with a
four-piece band now is a regular
on the top T.V. shows, s-ored a
hit on Broadway in "The
Impossible Years" and is it
favorite on the supper club
circuit. King is us busy as he is
popular.
King has dedicated much of his
time recently to raising $600,000
which he has pledged toward
construction of the Alan King
Madical Center in Jerusalem.
What humorous tack he will
take at the Field House remains to
be seen and heard. No need to say
here he will be welcomed at the
Field House. The fans have their
own way of saying it.
Janis writes all of her own
songs, and has been asked by
many people to classify them. She
classifies her songs, if lhat is really
necessary, as ' people sketches."
Jan is not out to crucify anyone,
nor to spare them. People who are
cynical play a great role in hei
songs. Her songs are easy listening
for a "liberal" audience.
Jan's start in show business was
like a fairy tale-she sent a song
into Broadside Magazine, and they
invited her to sing at the Village
Gate.
Janis loves performing, and
everything that goes with it.

similar t o Jean-Claude Van
Itallie's ' America Hurrah'' which
consists of three, short, highly
symbolic one-act plays.
Both plays place a great deal of
emphasis on lighting, slides
projected on the wall, and music
to close each act.
Mann also employs the same
total and abrupt silence, so
effectively used in the Van Itallie
play. This is p a r t i c u l a r l y
noticeable at the end of the
second act as Antrobus, directed
by the fortune teller, attempts to
excape the impending deluge. The
stage is a mass of activity as
Antrobus shouts for his family

delegates are sprawled all over the

Cross - Country Meet,
Swim Match Planned
T h e A M I A o f f i c e has
announced plans for not only a
swimming meet, but also an
AMIA cross-country meet.
The cross-country meet, which
will be run on a two-mile course,
is open to both team (five men)
and individual competition.
Team points will be scored on
the basis of the total for the Ave
finishers. The team with the low
score wins.
The first five finishers will
receive medals, while places six
through fifteen will be given
ribbons.
Entry forms are available for
the race to be held November 14
at the locker room cage. The
entries are due at the AMIA office
by Tuesday, November 12. No
one who has won a freshman or
varsity award is eligible.
The AMIA swimming meet
planned for this year will be run
just as last year's was. Preliminary
trials are scheduled for November
19 with the finals set for
Thursday, November 21.
The swimming meet is also
open to both individual and team
competition.
Entry blanks for the meet may
be picked up at the locker room
cage and are due by November 1 1 .
Mr. Kelley, who will be in charge
of the meet, commented that
approximately the same events
would be featured as last year's.
Medals will be awarded to the
first, second, and third place
finishers in each event. A team
trophy will be presented to the
winning team.

there would be a fine turnout far
both the cross-country meet and
the swimming meet.
No Participation Hurts
Frosh Wrestling Squad
This fall, the freshman soccer
team suffered from an acute lack
of participation. As a result, their
squad was unable to present a
representative
performance
despite the efforts of those who
were performing.
Unfortunately, if the status quo
continues, the freshman wrestling
team will follow the same path as
that of the soccer team.
Mr. Tom Mull, who will be
coaching the team this year,
reported that of some thrity or
more freshmen who are known to
have high school experience, only
two or three have even shown up
at a practice.
Mr. Mull commented that if
more interest is not shown, the
freshman squad will be unable to
post a full team for its matches. In
addition to the fact that some of
the positions will go unfilled,
those positions filled will have
relatively inexperienced wrestlers.
If freshman sports are not to be
discontinued completely, greater
interest will have to be shown by
t h o s e freshman capable of
participating.
