Another Contribution For the umpteenth time state aid to the municipal col­

leges is in the news. The reason for the most recent pyblic mention derives from calculated omission in the Governor's budget of any publicized reference to such allocations. Ap­parently, Miss Roth, the SG President, has decided to act now in a manner paralleling the protestations of the Presidents of the Municipal College Alumni Associations. Her action is most

* timely. If the Governor has really decided to forego any direct funds to supplement New York City's support of higher edu­cation, then no avenue or possible medium for registering complaint must be disregarded.

A letter in itself hardly seems to be a powerful or in­fluential force. But it serves as a useful symbol of the unity which underlies almost every phase of the city colleges' cam­paign. Alumni associations concentrate the unspoken power of thousands of graduates. College presidents and other re-known educators in pedagoguical and administrative capaci­ties have outspokenly expressed their positions favoring State backing.

In the great volume of correspondence the Governor is deluged with every day, Miss Roth's dissent may not com­pletely disconcert the legislative process or upset Governor Rockefeller's equilibrium, but it is a noteworthy addition to the determined drive towards a goal no one seems ready to oppose.

Valuable Delay The postponement of Adam Clayton Powell's talk, sched­

uled for Monday, is actually a fortunate occurrence. It allows the College press more time to publicize the event and it per-1 mits the student body to appropriate some of its valuable! Monday afternoon ping-pong time. i

Rev. Powell will probably appear on Monday, March I l(i. Politically-minded undergraduates will have ample op- j portunity to attend. !

DISSATISFIED

Dear Editor: In the March 4, 1959 edition of

Observation Post, an article based on an interview with me was pub­lished. The caption "Tit>hi Control Sought On Fra tern i ty Houses" as well as the subsequent quotation a t t r ibuted to me were pure fab­rications. The comments and opinions I am supposed to have ex­pressed were so misconstrued as to seriously threa ten the In te r -Fra t ­ernity Council program for this semester as well as the very exist­ence of the organization.

This is certainly not the first such case of such journalistic ne.K-li.^ence, for example the "Horowitz stories" during the Fall Semester, 1958, and does raise doubts as to the value of our student press. In this connection I seriously ques­tion, as I.F.C. President represent­ing 700 fraternity students on the uptown, day session, campus, whether s tudent newspapers sup­ported by approximately ^ the total s tudent fees should continue to be so lavishly supported with­out some responsible control.

I.F.C. does not seek to "control" fraterni ty houses. Fraterni t ies en­joy a unique situation of being suf­ficiently outside of direct School supervision as to successfully de­velop self-reliance and matur i ty necessary for any college frat­ernity. However, some feeling has a r i s e n ' t o show supervision is not necessary, but ra ther will be repiti-tious. The purpose of the I.F.C. plan is to establish house criteria in accord with Dean Peace's "Code of Ethics" and the New York City regulations and ordin­ances. Reports on the fraternity houses a re to be kept to prove t h a t fraternit ies not only live up to such regulations, but further, exceed them.

About the s tatement I am sup­posed to have made, I can only say I had never said it, nor intended to give any such impression.

I realize such construction of a story made it a more appealing ar­ticle lo the press but it is not a factual representation of the story.

Sincerely yours. Bob Bisnoff President, In ter -Fra terni ty Council

Pbfiraif of the Artist:

Bronx Grandma Dabbles in Paint

True art often springs from humble origins and no one knows this better than Professor Jacob Landy (Art) whose mother has earned the picturesque title of the "Grandma Moses of the Bronx." •*

Kigh! vears ago. Mrs. Landy, with little previous experience, took up crayon and pencil sketch­ing as a pastime. For the sixty-year-old housewife, drawing was then no more than a nostalgic re-tuiTi to her days as a dress design­er.

Hut. Prof. Landy. always on the lookout for 'Tre-h new talent."

merely an idle hobby. Her efforts have been exhibited in neighbor­hood banks, and more recently, at the Bronx River YMHA on Boyn-ton Avenue.

A series of three oil panels which were on exhibit earlier this year will be enlarged photographically and incorporated into a mural to be exhibited at the Local "Y." Black-and-white reproductions of the work will be placed in other banks throughout the Bronx.

Mrs. Landy is proud of the con­stant encouragement she receives from her children.

"My children bought me a pro­fessional type easel for Mother 's day and also bought me my first set of oil paints, they have never stopped encouraging me," she fondly reminisced.

Mrs. Landy's entire apa r tmen t is filled with her art istry. She arises at 6 AM and paints three or four hours everv morning.

The College's basketball team finished the season with a ; (M.2 record. In this case, however, the figures belie the facts. \ The hoopsters got off to a slow start but found themselves in mid-season and played fine ball the rest of the schedule.

Even against such powerhouse teams as XIT-bound St. John's and NYU. the Beavers stayed in the contest and at limes played a superior brand of basketball.

A considerable factor in the team's resurgence was the return of Joe! Asoher to the line-up. Ascher had been side­lined by injuries. It was. how oxer, Marty Groveman and Hec­tor Lewis who kept the team going through most of the season, without much rest.

Stan Strauss and Boh Erenbei}? exemplify engineering ingenuity.

They make the t rek from North to South Campus as easy as rolling

over a barrel . Saves time, saves shoe leather. Some may doubt their

sanity, but merri ly they roll along — always in t ime for class, and

with 11 negligible number of casualties.

By Lewis F reedman

Roller derby came to the College this week.

Two resourceful techmen have begun a campaign to put the School of Technology on wheels. They have licked the North-to-South campus com­muter problem by using roller skates.-*

Upper freshman Stan St rauss .-vivos all the credit for this diseov-•M-y to his classmate Bob Krenberg. "Bob firsft suggested thLs for kicks," Stan said. "We soon found it a very practical way of beating the Convent Avenue crowds. Every day we go from Mott to Shepard and our teachers are sticklers for la teness ."

The engineers also claim tha t the i r "s tunt was done to pep up the sleepy campus. This school seems to be dozing off with mon­otony. I t ' s about t ime the College awoke and laughed a l i t t le ." S t rauss said.

Ins t ruc tors and other observers have had varied reactions to the roller derby. "Some teachers a r e indifferent," declared S t rauss . "Others doubt our sanity, while still others have confessed to us tha t they would like to t ry it themselves, if they only had the nerve."

"The Burns guards seem par t i c ­ularly surprised. As we skate by all it hey do is look and look," S t rauss observed.

So far only one technical snag has bogged down their "commuta­tion innovation." "We've had only one accident." said the ska te r ; "itbat occurred yesterday when Bob lost bis nut and the wheel of his ska te rolled off."

The engineers' plan to mobilize tech men is beginmng to ga the r momentum. Another upper fresh­man, Mike Morganstern, has tu rn ­ed in his pedestrian license and has taken to the road. Already one girl has been reported skat ing in the Shepard cafeteria.

" I t looks like the tech men have t aken the challenge of "catching up to Russia, l i terally," one ob­server remarked.

Eleetions Student Council will hold elec­

tions to fill three open positions in i ts ranks on Wednesday a t 4 PM in Room 121 Finley. One senior from the School of Edu-ra t ion. and two freshmen from the School of Technology must be elected.

Mermen Enter MSC at NYU

The College swimmers will enter the Metropolitan Swim­ming Championships tomorrow at NYU with little hope of capturing the team title but with a good chance of winning the dive.

Nick West, who completed an undefeated season this year, will be trying for his first Metropolitan diving championship.

T h e teams opposing the Beavers will be New York University, Man­ha t t an , Fordham, Kings Point, Long Island University, Brooklyn, Brooklyn Poly, and Hunter . Dur­ing t he regular season the Mermen defeated LIU, the Kingsmen and t h e Engineers.

While Beaver coach Jack Rider was no t overly enthusiastic, his predictions were a t least realistic. *'I believe NYU has the best chance of placing first," admit ted the Lav­ender coach," simply because they wen t through the season unde­feated. But we have a chance to finish fourth."

Rider is depending heavily on Joel White, Carl Ross, Mike Bayuk

and Nick West. He expects all of them to "place in t he finals.

"I 'd give Nick an excellent chance to win the diving contest. He has already faced and beaten all of his opponents during the regular season except for the dive:: on LIU who isn't on our sched­ule," Rider said.

Las t year t h e College did not get past the trials, placing seventh, but the coach is confident of a be t t e r showing this year.

This meet will m a r k the end of the Metropolitan Swimming League season but will not conclude ac­tivities for the Mermen. They will compete in the Eas te rn Collegiate Championships the following week­end.

A t the end of the month the swimming season will be concluded when Nick West journeys to I thaca, New York.

Matmen To Engage 8 Fi In First Met Championshi

The postman rings for the second time for the Colleg wrestling team Saturday when the Beavers will be given other crack at the Merchant Marine Academy in the first nual Metropolitan Wrestling^ Championships.

The Kings Pa in ters are the only team of a quar t e t of seasonal op­ponents who can boast of defeat­ing the Lavender. They soundly set back the Codlege in a one-sided affadr, 26-5, las>t February 13.

Only one Beaver, Gerry Horo­witz, defeated his opponent in t ha t meet. Coach Joe Sapora doesn't expeot the Mariners to get off as easily this t ime though, since Phil Rodman and Myron Wolidn, both of whom were injured at the time, will probably s t a r t Saturday.

Appeaning wi th the Lavender and the Mariners will be Stevens Tech, Rutgers (Newark) , C W Post, New York UnaversdtV, Pa i r -ileigh Dickinson and Brooklyn Poly. The Colleges will be facing ttie lattter th ree for the second t ime this season.
