OPortrait Gustave G. Rosenberg, new

chairman of the Board of Higher Education (BHE), is a prominent trial lawyer with a long history of keeping busy.

He was born in the Browns­ville section of Brooklyn on April 23, 1900. At the age of eight he moved to the lower East Side and has been work­ing ever since.

He sold newspapers, pipes, and encyclopedias, and worked in the Forty-Second Street Public Libary in a newspaper clipping service, and at thirteen, applied tor a job with the H. B. Smith Boiler and Radiator Company. He was told that if he could get together a group of ten other boys, he would be hired.

The ambitious youth went back to the lower East side, rounded

political activity a t the College has never been so clean—or so dead.

The imminent departure of the College's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo­ple in protest against the ill-devised membership list ruling only serves to spotlight the ever-shrinking sphere of student political activity.

Since 1954.. the student body has been shut out by an administrative double play involving the Student Faculty Committee on Student Activities (SFCSA) and the General Faculty Committee on Student Activities (GFSCA). For three years this team has been unbeaten, untied and unscored upon in their adamant defense of the lists. They stood firm even in the face of a majority of student political organiza­tions clamoring for the lists' removal.

But the GFCSA, which has apparently chosen to regard the lists' denunciation by student groups as too unimportant to warrant their removal now must surely sit up and take notice of the NAACP stand.

The spectacle of a group like the NAACP being forced to leave the campus of a supposedly liberal institution would be shameful and disgraceful in any case. In the light of to­day's headlines concerning the integration conflict the pros­pect is all the more untenable.

We can think of no sharper rebuke to this unwanted edict.

As a slap in the face can have the effect of restoring a person to his senses, so we hope that some good will come of this news in that it will lead the GFCSA to reverse their stand on the lists when it convenes this term.

Ever since its inception, the membership list problem has been shuttled about from post to pigeonhole in various committees. It is now in the hands of a group of observers outside the College. They are supposed to deliver their find­ing to Dr. Gallagher this week.

We can see no course of action for the President other than to recommend to the GFCSA that the lists be removed.

Better three vears late than never.

Congratulations Yesterday The Campus celebrated its fiftieth anniver­

sary as a publication at the College, and today we find our­selves in a unique position. As a rival newspaper it is strange, indeed, for us to congratulate The Campus, yet congratulate them we must. But this "Happy Birthday" is meant in a devp'T sense than just the mere good wishes for the day.

As a publication of ten years standing, we rave t-xpe-•fiVneed ihe difficulties and frustrations <>f putting "•i* a bi-wfN-kly newspaper. Tt is then with a sense :' •ipiinrir-n: for our own future, and the future of extra-currie;aar activ­ities at the College, we note the survival of an organizatior, on tins campus for fifty years.

up a work gang, and it reported to work the following morning, each boy carrying a blanket. The boys were sent to work in We.st-field, Massachusetts.

With money from these and other jobs, Mr. Rosenberg paid his way through law school, at tending mostly evening classes.

Two particular jobs aroused his interest in the natural hunger of people for education:

"When I worked a t the library I saw thousands of men and wom­en come to the reading room, and their desire for knowledge made a lasting impression on me. What impressed me even more was a summer job seHu.g a set of books of general knowledge in the farm ami mining area of Pennsylvania.

'"That was the summer of 1919 when times were not good. I sold the books from house to house, and when I saw those people bring out money to buy books for the betterment of their children, it made a profound impression. IT was money they had saved for one particular purpose—education.

Mr. Rosenberg, a member of the RHE sin^e 19.v2. has an even lontrer record of service as a boar*; mem­ber of tV-e Rabbi Jacob Josephs Veshiva on Henry Street.

For four years Mr. Rosenberg has headed the special B H E com­mittee investigating s u s p e c t e d Communist influence in the faculty and staff of the five municipal col­leges.

The T>n ,•< in an editorial last week ^aid:

"The members of the R H E have made a cood choice in t i e d ins Mr. <Tij«.ia\e ("r. Rosenberg a* chair­man. Mr. Rosenberg . . . has com-pi]«-d an excellent record in his tive vears on the Board.

WHAT EVERY YOUNG COED SHOULD WEAR

Gather round, girls. Flip open a pack of Marlboros, light up, enjoy that fine flavor, that good filter, relax and listen while Old Dad tells you about the latest campus fashions.

The key word this year is casual. Be casual. Be slap­dash. Be rakish. Improvise. Invent your own ensembles —like ski pants with a peek-a-boo blouse, like pajama bottoms with an ermine stole, like a hockey sweater with a dirndl.

(Dirndl, incidentally, is one of the truly fascinating words in the English language. The word originated on June 27, 1846, when Dusty Sigafoos, the famous scout and Indian fighter, went into the Golden Nugget Saloon in Cheyenne, Wyoming, to see Lily Langtry.MissLangtry did her dance in pink tights. Dusty had never seen any­thing like that in his life and he was much impressed. He thought about her all the way home. When he got

^enheffiJipmemiLfr home his wife Feldspar was waiting to show him a new skirt she had made for herself. uHowr do you like my new skirt, Dusty?" asked Feldspar. He looked at the large, voluminous garment, then thought of the pink tights on Lily Langtiy. "Your skirt is darn dull," said Dusty, s-'pam dull" was later shortened to dirndl, which is how dirndls got their name.)

But I digress. We were smoking a Marlboro and talking about the latest campus styles. Casual, we agree, is the key word. But casual need not mean drab. Liven up your outfits with a touch of glamor. Even the lowly dungaree and man-shirt combination can be made ex­citing if you'll adorn it with a simple necklace of 120 matched diamonds. With Bermuda shorts, wear knee-cymbala. Be guided by the famous poet, Cosmo Sigafoos (whose cousin Dusty invented the dirndl), who wrote:

Sparkle, my beauty, Shimmer and shine, The night is young, The air's like mne, Cling to a leaf, Hang on a vine, Craul on your belly, Id time to dine.

(Mr. Sigafoos. it should be explained, was writing about a glowworm. Insects, as everyone knows, are among Mr. Sigafoos' favorite subjects'for poetrv. Who can ever forget his immortal Ode To a Boll Weivilt Or his Tumbling Along b'ith the Tumbling Tumblcbug? Or his Fly Gently, Sweet Aphid? Mr. Sigafoos has been In­active since the invention of DDT.)

But I digress. We were smoking a Marlboro and dis­cussing fashion. Let us turn now to headwear. The motif in hats this year will be familiar American scenes. There will be models to fit every head—for example, the "Em­pire Stare Building" for tall, thin heads; the "Jefferson Memormr for squatty heads; "Niagara Falls" for dry scalps, feature of the collection is the "Statue of Liberty." complete with a torch that actuallv burn?. Tins is_very handy for lighting your Marlboros, which i- tr-rnhly important becau>e no mailer how good Mar;i.<.r<r* are. they're nowhere unless you light thorn.

Meet The College's Fall Coaches In this the second in a series profUing the eoache* of the Colleen Fall sports, meet cross country

coach H a r r v deGirolamo. In cominy artide.s, stories about other Fall coaches will appear.

By NELSON GRUMER After twenty one years at the College, track Coach Harry deGirolamo directed his

intpvput* to a new field—he has become an eletrician and carpenter. This summer, he decided to add a room to his West Orange, N. J., home, where he

)ives with his wife, Lola, and three* — children. Saw and circuit tester in hand, the coach enlisted the aid of a few professionals and went to work. The room is now finished Mid he is back for another season.

€oach deGirolamo has been a member of the Physical Education Department since 1936 and has coached track since 1944. Until 1955, he was the coach of the Evening Session team, but when Harold Anderson Bruce retired, Coach deGirolamo became the nientor of the Day Session team while continuing with the ES team.

Family Man

The coach and Mrs. deGirolamo just celebrated their nineteenth wedding anniversary. The oldest of their children, Lola, 16, at tends high school. Har ry Jr., 14, at tends Junior High while ten-year-old James goes to elementary school.

Although the coach describes James as a nature lover, all three a re interested in sports. Lola was a member of a swim club team during the summer, and Har ry J r . was a member of the Little League All-Star team, and now plays in the Babe Ruth League. James is a "fine swimmer and diver."

Coach deGirolamo, who obtained his BS, MA, and Ed.D. from NYU, guided both the track and cross

country teams to undefeated sea­sons last year.

His coaching season extends from September to June, with indoor track sandwiched between cross country in the Fall and outdoor track in the Spring.

He finds it harder to coach the Evening Session squad because most members work during the day, making it difficult for them to practice regularly. Cross coun­try poses fewer coaching problems because of the absence of field events.

"The success of the team last year was due to hard woi-k on the pa r t of all," he explained. "They formed a closely knit group with no individual s tars ."

Dr. deGirolamo considers this term's turnout "good." The first cross country meet will be on Oc­tober 12, at Van Cortlandt Park agains t Queens, Brooklyn and Hunter .

HAVE A REAL CIGARETTE

HAVE A

CarndL Sure are lots of fads and fancy stuff to smoke these days. Look 'em over — then settle down with Camel, a real cigarette. The exclu­sive Camel blend of costly tobaccos has never been equalled for rich flavor and easygoing mildness. Today, more people smoke i

Camels than any other cigarette.

So good and mild... the finest taste in smoking!
