A ten year old boy named Johnny shouted against the how ling wind, "Sing! Sing! It, has been too long already! If we don’t hurry something terrible will happen.” Happily the children sang. Hiding behind the bushes were two onlookers. “We’ve got to do something, Fred! They’re only children. They don’t know what they’re doing. Oh, God! Fred, please! Stop them!” "Wbat can I do? They’re all crazy. There is no way I can stop thi'm. How do you know they aren’t right anvwav?

This appeared to be game-winning score. The conversion attempt was mls.sed. The score was 20-14 but in the warning seconds of the game Eddie (Toe) Turner ran an interception into the end zone for tie. The play covered 25 yards. The all important conversion attempt failed. At the end of regulation play, the score remained the same. In the sudden death period the toll exchanged hands several times before the Tigers began to move the ball on a sub stantial drive with the help of a few penalties. On a razzle dazzle play Sam Burley scored the winning touchdown on a 41 yard run. Thus, ended a great game. Outstanding defensive players in the game were John (Hawk) Harvey, Phil Ross, Eujene Wil son, Thirl Crudup, and Greg Chavious. Closed Practice BY HILTON SMITH Our t)asketball team Is now l>eginnlng to prepare for the on coming basketball season. To avoid disturbances of the prac tice sessions it is being requested that students should stay clear of the gym. Only those individuals with special permission from Coach Clenients will be allowed to enter the gym A-hile the practice sessions are being held. Please cooperate with the coaches on this matter. C+ Or 2.5 Students at the University of Santa Clara now have a new grade to shoot for: the C plus. The grade will carry a grade point value of 2.5 points, 0.5 points higher than the C grade. According to voiced and writ ten opinions of both the faculty and the administration, there are several advantages for adopting this new grade. No longer will it be neces sary to receive a B to balance out a D grade; two C pluses will achieve the same effect. It should also l>e noted that the majority of the faculty mem bers were especially in favor of this new grade because it will allow them to separate the “C” students, into which .*he Froote-ct mimhor ■‘Fred something ungodly is going on. We’ve got to find their parents. They’ll stop them.” Johnny yelled, "Get in a straight line! Everybody, hurry! Like children, they pushed and tugged, laughing, but follow ing the orders of Johnny. ^ Oh, God! Fred, do something!” All of a sudden they began to run until they reached the edge of the cliff. They jumped, singing for joy. '*Alice, Let’s go honey.” Too exhausted to resist, she rose. And hand In hand th^y walked toward the cliff. of Santa Clara students fit. In addition, some teachers welcomed the new grade for in it they saw a means of re warding those students who border on a B, but have been receiving a C. Now they can be given a “near B” grade and an additional half a grade point. When asked why this innova tion had not come sooner, Fr. HOLt> \ Alexis Mel, S. J., academic vice-president, answered that not until the university started on the 3/3 plan was such a grade needed. The fact that the pressure of the quarter system on students is greater than that of the semester sys tem is well known by the faculty and the administration. Falcons Add W. A. A. BY O. PAMELA JONES Under the leadership of Miss Plckney, the Woman’s Athletic Association organized on Octo ber 7, 1967, in the Emery Fine Arts and Health Center is under The purpose of the organi zation is to provide an extra curricular program of ping- pong, basketball, touch foot ball, and various other sports. Camping trips to Um stead Park are on the agenda as a special activity. The W. A. A, will meet on Friday night between 6:00-8:00 p.m. and on Saturday, between 1:30-4:30 p.m. Presently, the W.A.A. uses the intramural program instituted by Coach E, K. Curry. In the first meeting the W, A. A, planned Its three major activities for the school year. Either “flag football” or “Powder Puff” is sched uled for this season. Also, eight team.s of twenty students each organized. A physical education major heads each team as an assistant. At the end of the season, points will be totaled up to determine championship. Students on the winning team will receive letters. The officers elected In the first meeting are as follows; Gibberteen Garrison, presi dent; Peggy Scott, secretary; Ann Thompson, assistant sec retary; Viola Bond, publicity chairman; and Shirley Detaam. assistant publicity chairm.an.

Colts Zip Rams BY HILTON SMITH Intramural football has been proven a great asset thus far. There was a great game play ed last Saturday between the Colts and the Rams. The final score was 12-0 in favor of the Colts. This game was a great defensive battle for two and a half quarters.

"ALMOST LIKE BALLET” A Home For The Draftees If the U, S. is the home of the brave and the land of the free, Canada is the home of the peaceful and land of the free. Recently - and this accounts for the change in direction of the brain drain - young Ameri cans are more and more mov ing to Canada to evade the draft and Involvement in the war. Canadian immigration officials have no record of the number of Immigrants who were 1-A before they arrived but Marc Satin who runs the Toronto office of the anti-draft program says he gets about half a dozen draft - evaders going through the office a day and says that the load is about the same in offices In Montreal and Vancouver. There are alsc eight small offices and camps helping draft evaders In other cities. Thousands of others simply cross the border as landed immigrantr without con tacting groups concerned with draft evaders. The m(X)d of this country toward draft reslsters is com plex. There is predictable big otry against blacks, though not as venomous as in the States, and there are the perennial little old ladies who write nasty let ters to the newspapers. Since Canada’s unified armed services are manned by volun teers, Canada does not recog nize “draft evasion”or “inter national flight to avoid pros ecution” as crimes, though these are punished by five and ten years in jail in the U. S. Consequently, draft evaders cannot be extradited. Tom Kent, the left-leaning chief civil servant of the De partment of Citizenshipandlm- migratlon has put it quite plain ly; “There is not any prohi bition in the Immigration Act or regulations against the ad- m.'sslon of persons who may be seeking to avoid induction into the armed services and, there fore, providing they meet Im - migration requirements, we have no basis in law for bar ring their entry.” More generally, a bare ma jority of Canadians seem to be opposed to the American war (though the government is a member of the International Control Commission in Viet nam and hence strictly- neutral), either from principles op position to its illegality and im-. morality or through a feeling of nationalistic superiority to th9 U, S. These people there-, fore support draft evaders. Since Canada has a chronic shortage of skilled labour, em- Where Are The Men? For reasons not yet identi fied, women have abruptly mov ed much nearer to numerical equality on the campus of the University of Washington, ac cording to the thirty-ninth bien nial report released here. The men-women ratio, 2.2 to 1 in 1960, dropped to 1.7 to 1 in 1965, Less than a third (30.5"per cent)'of the baccalau reate degrees awarded In June 196(5 were to women; In June 1965 the figure was 44,7 per cent, approaching onehalf. Report highlights: Long-range planning—the tu multuous pace of University growth, physical and intel lectual, has crowded and is crowding these years with de cisions. The rush of events often creates pressure to im provise; still the University must always choose among all open paths, short-range or long run, with knowledge of where they might lead--and compare the destinations with a firm notion of where the University ought to go and what sort of institution it should become. Most planning of the past was devoted to the immediate ly following biennia. Now, though, the University is lengthening its forward view into a decade from now and beyond, seeking foundations of self-knowledge sufficiently so lid to meet any conceivable new challenges and problems. Committee on long-range planning -- Since their ap pointment by President Charles E, Odegaard in 1963, theacadu- ployers welcome Americans, who are generally better educated and trained than other immigrants or Canadians. Draft evaders report little difficulty in finding jobs, and none have had more than occasional fric tion with jingoes and hawks. The student council of Uni versity College, representing 2,000 students as the University of Toronto, voted support of a campaign draft evaders in Canada. The resolution, sup ported by the Student Christian Movement and B’nal B’rith Hillel, the two largest as sociations on the campus, gave S250 toprovlde temporary shel ter for and assistance to A- merican students who are re sisting the draft by going to Canada. Psychology Professor Martin Wall of University College said a continued effort will be made to raise money from other stu dent associations and to inform American students about the possibilities of going to Canada. mic and business officers of the Committee on Long-Range Planning have been mostly ab sorbed in gathering data con cerning the University -as-lt is. “Occupational outlook studies” have been conducted to detect a reasonable basis for differential rates of Uni versity growth in the years ahead, and “academic-cross- over studies” to chart the flow of students through depart ments, and thus to find, for example, the relationship be tween the number of students, majoring in Civil Engineering and the number of faculty re quired to serve them in Mathe matics, Physics, and Chemis try. The Committee has enough data that it has entered the sec ond stage of planning activity, and is discussing with individual departments their own growth projections--looklng toward the eventual preparation of a Plan for Tomorrow. Curriculum--Working with the Com-ntttee on Long-Range Planning and in some areas complementing it, is the Cur riculum Board established in March 1905, a faculty group charged with gaining an over view of the University’s edu cational efforts, particularly in undergraduate Instruction. To state long-range edu cational objectives, and thus re fine the definition of the role of the University, It has speci fically been asked to encour age departments to: 1. Dl.still the literature in any given field so that a student can cover his subject in the time available to him. Avoid unnecessary course prolifera tion. 2. Cope with knowledge ex pansion by devoting more at tention to organization and syn thesis. Study relevancy of in dividual courses to the larger body of kn-wledge. 3. Take Initiative In foster ing dialogue between students and teachers by seeking to a.ssess rrlticlsm.s of the Uni versity’s educational en- terprlze and test their validity. The Bf)ard has further been urged to be concerned with in novation, to study novel pro grams Introduced elsewhere for' ideas that might be adaptable by the University, and in general to help stimulate curricular re-examlnatlon throughout the faculty-again looking toward a Plan for Tomorrow. HOW BIG? In his October 1965 Report to the Faculty, President Ode gaard gave some interim an swers to a Question which can not be finally resolved at this time: how big should the Uni versity become? “The first alternative, name ly, growth without the Im position of any checks or con trols, has already been reject ed.” A second alternative also seems unwise: "Imposition of a fixed ceiling on enrollment entails a diminishment of flexi bility in manning for new aspects of knowledge.. Unless there is pressure from enroll ment increase to make ad ditional faculty positions, the institution may very well find increasingly that it must wait for professors to move, die, or retire, before it is able to react flexibly,., to the shift ing frontier of knowledge by appointing scholars and scien tists representative of new in tellectual interests.. ” “Such a policy would restrict opportunities for retention of younger scholars, slow down advancement...” All factors indicate the “third alternative as the most feasi ble and reasonable one: name ly, conthiulng growth of the uni versity but in an increasingly selective way.. In specific terms, this moans gradually lowering the under- v class proportion to 40 per cent of the total enrollment, with reliance upon the community colleges and state colleges to help in serving freshmen and sophomures. The upperclass proportion m ist also be pruned, depending upon existing and to be-created state colleges to carry a heavier share of juniors and seniors.
