To Play Wesconn
By PAM KIRK
On Saturday, April 12, the
"Shayde of Blue", a rock group
from this area, will perform at
Wesconn at a dance sponsored
by the F reshman Class.
The group, w hich has been
together since August, is composed of Bill Lauf, Bill Haid,
Bob Nelson, K eith Gustavson,
and Ed Westby. According to
one of the members, they are
"out more to be good and enjoyable than to get rich". Hearing t hem, it is possible that
they could do both at the same
time.
Bill Lauf, a f reshman is on
rhythm acoustic guitar and is
also the lead singer and arranges the group's music. Bill
is a graduate of Danbury high
School and is now living in Danbury. He despises "bubblegum"
music, but likes the "Blood,
Sweat, and Tears" and the exBuffalo Springfield". For Bill
music is "number one" and he
constantly strives for perfection
and variety in b oth instrumentation and h armony.

is now w orking in the Danbury

includes J imi Hendrix. He
also confided that he breaks at
least one d rum head per night
and foot pedal every two months.
Bob Nelson, on bass, also is
a DHS graduate living in Danbury and he is now "out in the
big, bad world trying to pay off
his car and avoid the d raft (not
beer)". Bob is one of the best
bass players in the area and he
likes almost any music w ith a
strong beat.
The lead guitarist is K eith
Gustavson, a senior at Danbury
High School, who thinks he might
go to Wesconn next year. He's
very musically creative and is
fast to pick up parts. He likes
any good music as long as "it's
not j ust noise."
Ed W estby, a graduate of Danbury High School and now a
math m ajor at Wesconn, plays
trumpet and harmonica. As for
music, he especially likes
"Blood, Sweat and Tears" and
Tom Jones. Ed says he's "almost as bad as the d rummer
when it comes to b reaking equipment — one harmonica per
night."

Sponsors Rush
The fraternity Chi Epsilon
Sigma, now a fully recognized
fraternal organization around
school, finds that it is in a position to accept all those who
want to pledge in their Spring
Rush. This rush will occur immediately following Spring Recess.
Although many people have
referred to the Fraternity as
a "Beer" fraternity, President
Teddy Rheinheimer and Vice
President Pete "Aurius" Knapp
feel it is their duty to correct
this misleading opinion. Chi
Epsilon Sigma is a social organization in the respect of f urthering the rating of the school
and its students, and bettering
the c ommunity. Chi Epsilon
Sigma has already accomplished
some of its goals. They have
done this by setting up a scholarship f und. There is a student
already going through WCSC on
money allocated f rom this f und,
and the f raternity is now accepting applications for a scholarship to be given next Fall
semester. At Thanksgiving, Chi
Epsilon Sigma donated turkeys
to the Salvation Army. These
turkeys were warmly received
by the needy around Danbury.
The f raternity is now in the
process of sponsoring an activity for Spring Weekend.

An Interview
With Miss Wesconn
By JOYCE GLASGOW
This year the first Miss Wesconn was chosen f rom nine outstanding coeds. Her name is
Marty Pasternack. She is 19, a
sophomore, and a Theater Arts
Major. By w inningthis title she
has won, along w ith prestige, a
$250 scholarship, a trophy and a
chance t orunforthe title of Miss
Connecticut.
Marty said that she ran for
Miss Wesconn because she was
interested in the scholarship and
because it would be a "good ex-
perience". She didn't realize
the seriousness of the pageant
until she was picked as one of the
three finalists. Marty is the only
girl representing a state college
in the Miss Connecticut pageant,
to be held on July 1 in Southington. She will be in competition
with 19 other girls and she
really thinks it would be great if
a girl f rom Wesconn could win
because "then everyone would
know we were here".

Arts Festival Hits Communication
by Sara Davis
and Katie Portante
On Saturday evening, March
15, one of the highlights of this
year's Arts Festival was presented by the Dramatons and the
Modern Dance Club of Western
Connecticut State College and
the New Haven D anceEnsemble.
The f irst half of the program
consists of short, t imely skits
and dance segments. The message of the lack of c ommunication was continued throughout
the show by the problems of
"Commitment,"
"Evasion,"
"Touch M e," and "LiberalBigotry." The idea of light and
dark, blindness versus sight,
and communication versus isolation were pointed up in rapid
succession. There was more
than a superficial meaning;
the d epth of each sequence was
vividly portrayed by each actor in the group. Each aspect
pointed up the lack of c ommunication, but it was f inally resolved in the hopeful message
that people can s uccessfully
communicate w hen t hey t urn
to t hemselves and take off the
phony m ask that they present to
the w orld.
The t iming and p recision was
evident t hroughout the show.
The actors carried out a diversity of roles w hich w ere an
actual reflection of the w orld
today. M r. Richard Reimold,
the director, achieved another
theatrical t riumph and in p resenting one of the f inest evenings of t heater we've had here
at the college for years.
The choreography visually
added to the message of the lack
of c ommunication. The dances
were interspersed effectively in
the d ramatic sequences t o show
that ideas are not necessarily
audible but still convey the depth
of the problems that we face in
everyday life. Mrs, Margolis
choregraphed the dances into
such universal
themes as
"Blind In Space," "Touch Me,"
"Liberal Bigotry," and "Universe."
The sequences showed skillful direction i n their p resentation and its applicableness to
every individual's beliefs and
problems he faces. The continuity, w hich w as w ritten b y Dave
Johnson brought many ideas into
a one hour presentation w hich
covered a vast scope. All the
actors showed hard work that
had b een put into the production
of this play, especially the Eugene lonescoplay "The Leader"
which topped the whole performance. Dave C hedd, as the
announcer, showed how m echanical and u nthinking a person is
who v oluntarily follows an unknown ideal. Mr. Chedd played
this p art to the hilt and made
the e ntire play the exceptional
drama it was. Virginia McKinney and Les Barni f ollowed
suit and presented the u nthinking masses in today's society.
Their f ine acting made the absurd s ituation believable. The
two lovers as played by Lulu
Anderson and Paul Healy showed
how u nsentimental people can
be w hen they do not think of anything real and meaningful. These
two characters were well cast
and did a good job in their performance.
The back stage technical work
also showed evidence of excellence. The whole show ran
smoothly due to the competence
of Miss Alice J. Pentin. A great
deal of patience and capability
was needed to m ake the e ffective and this was e xtremely
visible. A longwiththis the lighting was designed e ffectively
and was e fficiently carried on
throughout to add and m aintain the atmosphere of the entire evening.
The second half of the program was performed by The New
Haven Dance Ensemble. The
group is mostly composed of
students from t he d rama, art,
and m usic schools at Yale University. A mong the pieces performed were:''The Encounter,"
"Dragonfly,"
"The
P layground" and ''Sarah, M iriam
and Hanna." The best portion
of the e ntire program was the
last s election - "Incident On A
Sunday A fternoon."
The n ight was a m emorable
one and e veryone who had any
part in it is to be c ommended
for the f ine showing they made.
This evening will b e r emembered f or a long time t o c ome.

By PAM KIRK
I was the f irst one who heard
anything about it at all, so naturally they assigned me to get
news coverage of it. I suppose
the only reason I heard anything before the other members of the staff did was because I belong to that wellknown o rganization, t he I nternational Order of Little People,
an exclusive society open only
to those w ho are f ive f eet short
or u nder. I d efinitely q ualify
for m embership and it soon became one of my f avorite activities because it gave me such
psychological satisfaction t o
finally be able to look down on
someone. The chapter that I
belong to is completely local,
though I'm the only one f rom
WesConn who belongs. There
are about t hirty-five members,
including a t hree foot high sex
maniac and a really little f ellow that I am completely convinced is a f rog in disguise.
We e ven have an elf who is an
ex-Santa's helper and used to
put the dye in those old-fashioned m ucky m olding clay sets
that e very mother used to hate
because her kids would smear
it all over their hands and faces
and clothes and the walls and
everything and it took about two
and a half years to c ome off.
Anyway, at our last bimonthly meeting, I was j ust
standing around talking to
Trogg, the f riendly little guy
who lives u nder the bridge that
goes over the Still R iver when
Myrtle, the club gossip, rused
over. Myrtle's m aybe t hree
feet, f ive inches tall and at
least that wide and half of her
is m outh. From her I learned
of the take-over plot; though all
she k new was that it was going
to happen on M arch 17, N ational Little People's Day, and the
central instigators were t he
leprachauns living in the woods
in back of Beaver brook d orrn.
My job was to f ind out what
was to be t aken over.
Carrying m y t rusty green balloon for camouflage, I m ade my
way t hrough t he u ndergrowth t o
the edge of a c learing w hereall
the leprechauns were gathered,
sitting silently in a circle,
smoking some k ind of strangesmelling peacepipe or something. Then someone who looked
faintly familiar stood in the center of the clear ing and descrided
in detail the plans for the attack. W ith s lowly growing horror I realized that what these
little people proposed to seize
was the student union. Silently
my green balloon trailing behind
me, I h urried away to w arn
everyone, but when I reached
the union no one would listen to
my f rantic cries, so I gave up_,
went home and built an e mergency shelter,
St. Patrickrs Day dawned
bright and green and I trotted
up to the school f rom my shelter, not being able to resist
seeing a good take-over. I was
again carrying my green balloon, this time as a sign of
truce. Pad and pencil in hand,
I took up my position on the roof
of Higgins Hall w here I was
able to view the whole fight. At
about a quarter to eight, I could
hear the a ngry shouts of the
leprechaun mob as t hey approached Seventh Avenue, coming up White Street. The roar
grew steadily and I could soon
see the f ront r anks of the advancing a rmy, the soldiers of
which ranged in size f rom about
one foot to t hree and one-half
feet high. They rounded the
corner and were m achingdown
Seventh A venue before they met
any opposition. The campus cop,
puffing his way to the middle
of the street, yelled for them to
stop but a little old lady (Good
Heavens, was that Miss Haas?)
in the f ront ranks, whom I recognized as being the spokesman
in the woods, clobbered him
over the head w ith her green
walking stick and led the advance to M emorial.
"The Little People shall
overcome," was the r everberating shout f rom t he d iminutive crowd as t hey brought out
roll a fter roll of green tape and,
running around the building,
taped all the doors s hut. Their
task completed, the leprechauns
stood around the building, hands
in their pockets, shrugging their
shoulders, not k nowing what to
do. They hadn't m ade any plans
farther than the actual c apture.
The little old lady, whoever sne
was, had disappeared, and resignedly, they all trooped off
in the d irection of the Fore 'n
Aft, w here I understand they
finished off all the green beer
in the place.
As for me, I wasn't about to
start u nwinding that green tape
and finally I trudged off to find
a place to sleep Watching such

As W e S ee f t
. ..
Order On Campus?
President Nixon's announcement that college administrators should deal more f irmly w ith c ampus
insurgents w ill u ndoubtedly be r eceived w ith a s tudied
lack of e nthusiasm by his s upporters, and p recipitate
dire warnings of r epression and w itchhunts f rom his
detractors. I n a ffixing m ajor responsibility f or the
preservation of collegiate order on the individual
colleges, he has merely a ffirmed what we have believed for some time, viz., permissive treatment of
campus rebels has been at least a contributory factor
in promoting their disruptions. Conversely, those
who experience little d ifficulty in connecting calls
for order with a paranoically anticipated resurgence
of fascism will certainly not hesitate to brand Mr.
Nixon's position as extreme, and intimate none too
delicately that any degree of control is too m uch.
If one believes, as we tend to do during optimistic
moments, that colleges and universities have a dual
role, one aspect of which is the inculcation of those
qualities beneficial to good citizenship, it then becomes
necessary to maintain, or to re-establish, a s ufficient
degree of decorum on the campus to allow the smooth
running of classes on the one hand, and the instillation through practice, of good citizenship on the
other. This is precisely the mission that larger and
larger numbers of institutions throughout the nation
have permitted to lapse into dusty disrepute. As an
inevitable consequence, shock at the emergence of these
vest-pocket rebellions has yielded only to m ystification over the means to be used in dealing with t hem.
Some give in completely, others r esort to the local
gendarmerie, and most seek a middle course, but all
apparently fail to recognize that misunderstanding
of the total educative process is the real cause.
It remains to be determined what e ffect, if any,
pious lamentation at the top will have on the f ragmented and deteriorating college situation. M r.Nixon
is, we are convinced, entirely correct in his r ecommendation that a f irmer stand by the individual colleges
and universities w illameliorateexistingcrisesandaid
in preventing future insurrections, but unless action
is taken to produce citizens as well as students,
disenchantment and w rath will simply bubble up in
some other area or at a later t ime. This is not to
suggest that all student demands should be m et, or
even that they are f ully enough articulated for serious
consideration, but rather that it is mandatory for A merican education to m ove to avoid the t win evils of
making colleges into schools for revolution or requiring intervention by the government to maintain
order. This will not be easy, but Mr. Nixon has at
least pointed in the right direction.

A Complaint
Dear Sir:
Recently I had the opportunity
to have a f riend here at Western
Connecticut State College. She
had been a student here for the
last t hree years and then
dropped out. While she was
here she was an active member
of the E cho staff and also participated in many school activities. On the occasion in question she was standing in the E cho
office t alking with a friendwhen
one of the night guardsmen f rom
the student union came up to her
and said, "You're not a student,
are you." She replied, in a polite manner, that she was not,
but had been enrolled here for
the last t hree years. As soon
as she had got the f irst part of
the sentence out of her mouth,
he asked her to leave. The f riend
she was w ith told him that she
was her guest and would like her
to stay. To this the gentleman
said that she was always here
and all she did was contribute
to the general sloppiness of the
record room and that he wanted
her to leave immediately.
In my opinion, this was an
act w hich was totally uncalled
for and I think that my f riend
should r eceive an apology f rom
the g entleman in question.

was a kid it was a toss-up whether you'd fight f irst for mom or
country. Now it's a toss-up
between Canada and Sweden. Not
enough guys have followed that
route to seriously weaken our
manpower reserves, but I have a
feeling that the disintegration of
values that leads to these defections is analogous to walking pneumonia--you don't know how
bad the illness is until you keel
over. . .maybe dead! The problem with the draft, as I see it,
isn't so much the u nfairness 01
the way it's conducted as the
fact that nobody is convinced
there's a legitimate reason for
a "peacetime" draft. I can't
imagine that we'd have the same
problem in a situation where everybody readily understood an
immediate need to defend the
country. If that need presently
exists some argue that it does,
then the people responsible for
the guidance of the nation have
done a miserable job of making
it understood by the people who
must understand -- those they
want to fight the war. Assuming
that the need to be in this thing
is real, then I'm damned if I
can understand the way we're
going about it. 33,000 lives
seems hell of a lot m ore important than world opinion, or
the feelings of our British neighbors who supply so damn much
to the North Viets or even the
anger of the Russian Beast (who
can't afford a major war
anymore than we and I doubt
is about to start one over loosing
the game in South-east Asia).
So it seems that the best way
to do away with the draft is to
end the war in Vietnam. If
it's legitimate, then let's win
it with the military power this
country is capable of. Let's
close Haiphong, for example,
If it's not, then, for God's
sake, let's pull out and not
waste anymore young m en.. .or
any m ore of the moral honesty
that we need to survive as a
nation.
Let's get rid of the draft.
This nation does need a military establishment for defense
but with modern logistics it's
entirely feasible to provide what
we need with a well paid professional force. If the world should
go mad again and that professional force prove inadequate
then we can call on reserves
created through a universal
military trainingprogram. Universal military training offers
no inequity because every one
goes. It need affront no one's
sensibilities about the justice of
war f or trainees would not serve
with the regular army and need
not even leave the country. As
a matter of fact, such a program
could largely be conducted in the
process of the high school curriculum with perhaps six months
of a year of "field'rtraining before going on the college or
getting a career underway. Such
a reserve would be available
always for the defense of the nation against overt aggression but
could never be used for aggression against another country.

Dear Editor:
It is springtime again and
I would like to raise a complaint
about an i mprovement w hich has
failed to receive s ufficient attention. I am specifically talking about the lack of males on
Of course some will still
argue about the immorality of
war and that any military force
is therefore immoral, but I
wonder how they feel about the
immorality of slavery. . .the
certain fate of those who will
not defend themselves against
injustice.
I cannot view war in the
abstract as a moral issue. If
aggression is immoral, then resistance to aggression cannot
also be immoral. Rather, it
would seem to me, the acquiesence to immorality is itself
immoral. Perhaps there-in is a
clue as to the justice of our
presence in Vietnam. Granted
that the Geneva Convention of
1954 did call for general elections throughout all of Vietnam
and perhaps we did play a little
hanky-panky with that. Still,
long before those elections were
due, it was pretty obvious that
elections in any sense we know
them weren't about the be held
in the North, and military action was initiated by the Viet
Cong in the South. The people
of South Vietnam were in danger of falling under the communist heel and asked for help.

�The
Off Balance
by Jeff Klein
While visiting a friend at his
college, I happened to come
across an SDS meeting heatedly
in progress. I took out my pen
and became the informal secretary of the meeting.
It seems that the students
were angered over the dismissal of one of their number, on
a vague charge of vagrancy.
"I tell ya," m um bled a bearded, ragged member, obviously a
leader, "We gotta act now. We
gotta get out and take action, we
gotta draw attention."
"Well, how?" Asked a halfdressed Co-Ed, looking like a
misplaced Sexual Leaguer,
"Take over a building?"
"Right," answered the motley-looking leader. "And since
this is a democratic organization, we'll have a vote on what
we take over. Ok, Let's have a
show of hands of those that wanna take over theAdministration
building. All right - those that
wanna take over the library,
raise your hand."
Throughout the proceedings,
I had noticed that another motley-looking member way in the
back had not raised his hand;
the motley looking leader had
also noticed this.
"All right, Moscowitz," The
leader asked him, "Whatdoyou
wanna do?"
"Take over the maintenance
building," he answered.
"Moscowitz, you idiot," The
leader grumbled," "Nobody
takes over maintenance buildings!"
"It stands to reason," Moscowitz answered, "that if the
college doesn't have heat, they
can't conduct classes."
"But, Moscowitz" the half
dressed coed questioned, "It's
70 degrees outside."
"Nobody says we have to
leave early," Moscowitz calmly answered, "We can stay
through Christmas. It probably
is cheaper than a dorm anyway."
The motley-looking leader
shook his head in agreement.
"Well then, its agreed, we
take over the Maintenance building. I'll call SDS central for an
occupancy permit,"
"We'd better get organized,"
Moscowitz stated.
"Good idea," answered the
motley leader. "Allright, let's
form some committees. Moscowitz, you're in charge of the
Entertainment Committee; make
sure we have someSexualfreedom members. Ginelli, you're in
charge of food. Whitney you take
Recreation, and I'll take political motivation."
"We'll need a map of the
building f or defense purposes,"
Moscowtiz stated, "and sandbags, rifles, and anti-tank
guns."
"Moscowitz," the leader answered, "we're non-violent,
and besides, the police don't
have tanks."
"I'm not saying that the stuff
is for us, it's for the police department. They're so ill equipped, they couldn't possible evict
us, then how could be bring
charges of brutality, have bloody
scenes, members bandgaged up
yet still bravely manning their
posts?" A fter saying this Moscowitz wiped a tear from his
eye.
"Moscowitz, you capitalist,
you've come under the influence
of bourgeois Hollywood movies," The leader grumbled,
"and furthermore, we all have
joint Blue Cross, we won't need
bandages."
"There is only one problem,"
remarked the half-dressed coed, "What are we rebelling
against?"
"That's a problem," Moscowitz agreed, 'lets see, last
week it was ROTC, the week
before campus recruting, h mm,
I really just kont know yet."
"Well, I called SDS central,"
The leader interruped, "they've
given us the permit, and we're
rebelling against the persecution of Moslems in Lower Mongolia."
"But that isn't a relevant issue here,' Moscowitz, remarked, "In fact, we don't even
have any Moslems in this college."
"Well," answered the Leader,
"we're supposed to call for a
Moslem student center. But
now that you've mentioned that
we don't have any Moslems
here, we've got a problem."
"I know," answered the coed, "Moscowitz can convert.
Then we'll say that he was discriminated against."
"But the college won't build
a student center for just one
student," remarked the leader.
"That's just it; we'll demand
that the college admit more
Moslems." The coed looked
proud.
"Well, Moscowtiz, what do
you say, you wanna be a Moslem or not? asked the motley
leader.
"Well," Moscowitz answered, "There is one problem."
"Whats that?" inquired the
leader.
Moscowitz looked up, smiled,
and said, "My father is a
Rabbi."

Student
Maltreatment
Charged By Mead
NEW YORK, March 19,1969 Anthropologist Dr. Margaret
Mead charged, in an article released today", that today's students are treated like "packaged goods" and said that the
older generation is to blame
for the c urrent student revolts
and the restlessness of young
people everywhere.
Writing in the current issue of
Redbook magazine, Dr. Mead
accused the older generation of
"failure" to plan adequately for
the increase in young people it
was w arned against. "Twenty
years ago we talked glibly about
the 'baby b oom' and then about
the d ire e ffects of the population
explosion. But in spite of all our
talking, what we did to prepare
for masses of young people was
on too small a scale, shoddy and
too late."
"The result has been crowding, poor facilities, schools in
antiquated or unsuitable temporary buildings, poorly trained
teachers (and far too few of
them),
inadequate supplies
and ~ inevitably — irritability,
impatience and strained relations between students and
teachers and between students
and the administrators who have
to keep things going," Dr. Mead
declared.
She said students "are treated
as irresponsible minors subject
to the most arbitrary decisions.
Many of them hope that now, when
they are learning to think as individuals, they willbe treated as
individuals. What they f ind instead is that they are treated
like packaged goods—so many to
be processed, pushed through
the educational maze, examined
and granted degrees at the end
of a standard course."
Dr. Mead attributed the "hos-
from spies, smugglers, undesirable aliens, and r eturning
travelers.
The job of the Customs Inspector is a thankless one. He,
our last line of defense, standing on our sacred shores, must
flash his gilt badge at any and
all suspicious persons and, w ith
his colleague (they always work
in pairs) h erd the suspect into a
small room equipped w ith a
table, several chairs and one
electric light w hich swings f rom
a ceiling socket. The rubber
hose is inconspicuously rolled
and stored beneath a sign w hich
states " Emergency Only".
Within the room, the suspect is told to empty his pockets onto the table. But they don't
believe him and f risk him anyway. T hereafter ensues an enlightening interrogation. One
investigator, holding the suspect's b irth certificate before
him, asks the suspect where he
was born, w hile the other sifts
through the assorted j unk on the
table l ookingfor traces of opium
or Russian microfilm.
After the three-hour ordeal
which lasts but twenty minutes,
the inspectors are courteous and
aid the ex-suspect in repacking
his s having gear, souvenirs and
dirty underwear. They smile
and thank the ex-suspect for his
cooperation w hile the ex-sus-
tile attacks by the young on the
old and the established" to a
"profound distrust" of all those
in power. "We speak of the
generation gap, but I believe
this distrust is the mirror image
of the distrust members of the
older generation, living in a
world they feel has got out of
hand, have for themselves and
one another."
"What has happened," Dr.
Mead said, "is that we have
displaced onto the young our
own sense of malaise, our distrust of our ability to cope w ith
the deep changes we have
brought about in the world; and
the young are actingon our communication to them. Our distrust is clear, I think, f rom the
emphasis we have put on the
manifestations of student power
rather than on the actual causes
of disturbances.
"The danger is that as long
as we continue to distrust ourselves, as long as we continue
to respond w ith alarm instead
of conceding w ith honesty that
our world is not as we would
wish it to be, our and their distrust can only grow and spread
to include new and still younger
groups."
Dr. Mead said we are "mistaken" if we view student power
as no more than a new version
of traditional student restlessness or the "creation"of mass
media. Calling student power
a "reality", she warned that
the problem it poses is not how
to contain it or how to meet its
immediate demands. "The
problem now is how to bridge
the ever-widening generation
gap and f ind a new basis for
trust that both generations can
share."
SUNSHINE
Abe Lincoln was born in a
little log cabin in Virginia. Since
he had no money, he was very
poor. Because he was poor,
he could not afford any expensive battery-operated toys.
He had to be content with a
rusty old hatchet that wasn't
very sharp anyway.
One day, poor Abe Lincoln
buried his hatchet in his father's favorite cherry tree. When
his father asked him, "Abe, who
chopped down the cherry tree?"
good old Abe replied, "I cannot
tell a lie, I did." That is how
he got the name "Honest Abe."
(gome historians mistakenly
believe that this caper was
George Washington's, but who
ever heard of Honest George?)
Later on that evening, Mr.
Lincoln informed Abe that his
mother had been up in the tree
picking cherries. That is how
honest Abe lost his first mother.
This was just one of the problems poor Abe faces as a youth.
He was kicked out of the public
school system by his conservative schoolmarm who accused
him of being a dirty communist
just because he had grown a
Fidel Castro-type beard. Since
he was so poor, Abe couldnt
afford to pay tuition in a parochial school. So honest Abe

Baseball: Preseason Report
by Jerry Di Pietro
Coach Alan Thomas and 25
starting hopefuls are readying
themselves for the season opener on Saturday, April 12th at
Bloomfield (N.J.)Stage College.
Although graduation has taken
the leading hitter from last
year's squad, outfielder Ralph
De Rubertis, as well as shortstop Jay Eriquez and pitcher
Gary Lemme, and another player, pitcher Ray Shupenis, has
transferred to another school,
Coach Thomas has a strongand
talented nucleus of players returning in hopes of improving on
last year's 7-8 record. Headed
by senior first baseman Larry
Smith and senior third baseman Matty March, the returnees
include senior pitcher and utility infielder Tom Halligan, senior outfielders Joe Giaquinto,
Dom Spera,andAngeloCordone,
sophomore second baseman
Fran Wainwright and sophomore
pitcher Tony Oskwarek. Also,
newcomers include sophomores
Skip Mac Donald and John Manacek, and nine freshmen, headed by Len Albanese, Kevin O' Sullivan and Bob Burkhart. With
this young talent, Coach Thomas
is hoping to work out a combination that will have a very successful season.
Oskwarek, who was the third
man on the pitching staff last
year while compiling a 1-2 record, will probably carry the
brunt of the pitching duties this
year. Along with Halligan,
who was 0-1 last year, other
hopefuls for the staff include
senior Brian Pagan, sophomores A ndy Fredette and Arthur Crouch, and freshmen Len
Albanese, who played ball at
Waterford High and Kevin O'Sullivan, who played at Mahopac (N.Y.) High.
Waging a battle for the catcher
position are sophomore Mike
Cragin and freshman Kevin
Sieck, the latter of whom played at Brewster High.
Fighting Smith for the first
base job is freshman John
Sturges, who played at Wilton
High. Smith leads the returning veterans in batting via a
.280 average last year, and it

Morehead, who played at Kennedy High in Somers, are giving
Fran a battle for his job. Other
second base hopefuls are sophomores James Potvin and A rthur
Crouch, although the latter two
are also bidding for other positions.
Fighting for the shortstop
position is senior Matty March,
who played third base last year
and will probably play the same
position this year if he loses
his shortstop bid, junior John
Manacek, sophomore James
Potvin, who played for Bethel
High two seasons ago, and f reshman Jeff Bryers, who played at
Ridgefield High.
The third base job will be
handed to either March or senior Angelo Cordone.
Although there are three vet-
eran outfielders returning in the
likes of senior Joe Giaquinto,
Dom Spera and Cordone, there
are six other hopefuls trying to
make the grade, headed by
sophomores John Fusek and
James Potvin, and including
freshmen Bob Tripi, who played
at Ridgefield High.Sturges, who
is also bidding for the f irst base
job, Bob Burkhart, who played
for Brewster High and M urray
Penn, who played for the same
school.
When asked to comment on
this year's squad, Coach Thomas said that he did not want to
say anything until after the
Southern trip, which the team
will make during the Spring
recess, but said h eishopingfor
a successful campaign.

S unshine
(Continued from Page Six)
decided to educate himself.
He accomplished this by borrowing books and reading them
by firelight because the Lincoln
family lived in a slum. . .no
heat, no running water, and no
electricity. When Abe moved
back away from the fire, he got
eyestrain and a bad headache.
When poor Abe moved too close
to the fire, he tended to singe
the books which caused him even
more pain, (in the pocketbook)
One day, poor Abe got a very
bad headache and decided to
"drown his sorrows" in Brewster.
"I'll go along with you
son," said his father. The two
Lincolns were really feeling
good when a very attractive
blonde approached their table
and asked if either of them were
interested in computer dating.
They counted up their change
and came to the conclusion that
their money would cover the
processing of only one IBM card.
Mr. Lincoln, old authoritarian
father that he was, decided that
lie would fill out the application
form. This is how Abe got his
second mother.
"But Dad, what am I going
to do!" Abe asked.
"You could always run for
Congressman," his father replied.
Abe took his advice. Because
elections were held during the
harvesting season, no other
farmers ran for Congress, and
Abe won. That is how Abe
Lincoln became a congressman.
One day, poor Congressman Abe came back to the little
log cabin to see his father and
mother. He was reading a borrowed newspaper when he ran
across an interesting article.
"Dad, did you know that the
architect of the White House
forgot to lay one floor? It
says in this paper that the ceilings are awfully high in order
to make the White House seem
more cosy and well-proportioned, the Republican Party
is looking for a tall man to run
as President. They feel that
the high ceilings would look
lower if a tall President were
elected. What do you think of
that?"
"I think you ought to run
for President," said Mr. Lincoln. That is how Honest Abe
got to be President.
Shortly after he was elected,
President Abe went walking
down the streets of Washington.
He saw a kid from the North
side of town beating up a kid
from the South side. He tried
to stop it, but m ore and more
people joined in the fight. That
is how the Civil War got started.
After a few years, the boys
got tired of fighting, and their
mothers got tired of mending
t h e i r u niforms. Everyone
wanted to call it quits and go
home peacefully. PresidentAbe
went home to the little log
cabin and knocked in the door.
"Hi, son, is the war finally
over?" his mother asked.
"Communications are pretty
slow without the telephone,

WESTERN PLAYS NEW P ALTZ
_ ON AWAY COURT
The Woman's Intercollegiate
Volleyball Team of W estern
Connecticut State College went
to New Paltz State College in
New P altZj New York, on March
18, to play a series of games
in which Western did well. Each
of Western's two teams played
New Paltz' two teams. Of a total
of nine games played, Western's
teams won approximately half.
New Paltz is noted for its excellent first string team, and
Western lost to her only by
small margins. New Paltz'
second string was a good match
for Western, but our teams took
three straight games from them,
•with a big -winning margin in
each game.
Mom/' he replied, "official
word hasnl come through yet.
Actually, though, it cant go on
much longer."
"Why not?" his father asked
"Because, Dad," President
Abe explained patiently, "Ulysses is almost down to his last*
cigar. Why do you think he's
been pushing into the South so
fast? If he doesn't reach Havanna within two weeks, he'll
have to give up smoking." And,
that is howcum the South lost
the Civil War. Ulysses S. Grant
was a nicotine addict.
