I remind you that the final election on Monday and Tuesday March 20 and 21 is the one that counts. I also ask all j uniors who did not vote in the primaries to make an effort to do so in the finals and hope all of my fellow juniors will at least consider my candidacy for vice president for the senior class of '68. I am anxious and will be honored to serve you! Sincerely yours, Michael DUTCH Gundei Special Ordering excitement for the Husky fans and presaged a bright future for the team of Eli McLaughlin.

One-Man Team Bloomsburg, while showing more strength than ever before in this event was disappointed in not taking second, a spot indicated as a result of their win over Slippery Rock in dual competition in the Rocket pool during the regular season.

I knew you'd want to hear about it—well, if you didn't really want to fake it... KOLLEGE KIDDS NYU has a *ew hangouts, and at most of them they seem to be having the same trouble that the Varsity Grille had many years ago when it was begun for the college crowd and was allowed to become infiltrated by h.s. kids. Eventually it became a h.s. dive by both reputation and fact. Unfortunate... I guess. At some, of the places it's hard to tell the 10-year-olds from the grad students. They got apathy too. THE TIME S & CBS During our brief Big City engagement we managed tours of both the N. Y. Times and CBS. What can I say about that? Well, the Times is run more efficiently and is larger than The Morning Press and CBS has the largest communications center in one building in the world, which contains six shook ing locations in the building, each one suspended from four springs to do away with the vibrations from the subways, which, when you stand at certain spots of certain streets can really put the* fear of God into ya. CBS has color cameras that sell for $86,000 per, and tape editing and relay machines (that are run by a central computer) that sell f or $170,000 each. The place must be richer than Fort Knox the way the guide quoted figures. Hmmm, wonder if Goldfinger knows about the places. SUB-LINE-ATION One of the coolest feelings in the world is to stand on the edge of a subway platform (if you can find it among the vending machines) and feel the air rush past you and almost blow you onto the tracks as one of the trains comes along pushing about a billion quarts of air before it. Also, if you ever get the chance, take a few different subways and compare them as they come along: some are new and shiny, some are old and dirty as tho they haven't been touched since the First World War—inside, tho, they 're all the same: you can't tell a BMI from an LBJ from an LSD. They've got a new game: you bring a stranger to New York, put him in a subway, make him j ump off at the second stop and board the first subway car he comes to; time him for one hour; at the end of that time give him fifteen minutes to get back to his original terminal; if he fails you burn his subway map and let him there—sort of like Russian Roulette, except that the guy never wins. One guy played it and ended up five miles outside of Espy. How bad is that? You can never tell about a subway. "GIMME A NICKEL , HUH?" Everyone wh o ventures to NYC is set upon by a shabby looking fellow in the lower part of town who nonchalantly walks up to you and says, "Hey fellow, h ow about a dime for a cup of coffee?" You know dam well he is having those dimes in his piggy bank till he gets $1.06 plus tax for a quart of port. The advice is usually to ignore them , tell them no, etc., as they will harmlessl y depart. OK, So I never give it to them (I can spend a dime j ust as judiciously as he can . . . ) . I usuall y don't. This time a fellow comes up. "Hey budd y, how about giving mo 12c for a cup of THE rcO ^UMil ^kRAyHO ^' ' %1 While, at Columbia U. we had the opportunity io witness' a rally of sorts by a student group who -we at first thought were the Rolling Stones in caric$i*L They were attempting to influence the minds of their fellow students gathered around them (actually, it was a group of 1,000 high school kids who were there for their section of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association conference) listening attentively from about 8-in-the-morning until dark. In one half-hour we took a couple notes. They made five stimulating points for their case (despite three front-row hecklers) which they managed to contradict back and forth seven times in 30 minutes. Fantastic. I've never met any one else who can be so glibly ineffective so well.-I bow in humble surrender. OPERATIONAL OBSERVATION There are hundreds of important people in New York; but after a while there you begin to realize that none of them are quite as important as yourself. KOFFEE K UP P KADE T A few months ago, at the Lewisburg coffee house, the "Coalbin," a rolly-polly, bearded and glassed folkster got up and sang a song about New York City. The only line I really remember from it is one from the chorus: "I've seen your city and it isn't pretty." Rite. WASHINGTON SQUARES Never go to the Village and expect to find official beatnicks there. Especially so in the old hangout, Washington Square. You'll find several other species there, tho: cops chasing little girls thru the bushes, 12-year-old fellows sitting stoicly on a bench sipping malt liquor, young teenage kids with long hair who play the role by calling each other weird names to impress a stray girl that happens by their bench and gets past the profanity, and an occasional wide-eyed drunk lying among the path staring happily at the misty form of the Empire State Building through the arch of the monument. The true beats are long since fled or are sitting peacefully in their rooms smoking pot (really on the way out) , taking little quarter 'trips,' or experimenting with 'pepper paper; ' one need not mention the aspects of common law living-—that's been established long ago. Long live the true beats—let them falsify their ID cards and live peacefully, unmolested by tourists, teenage phonies, and law enforcement. LET THERE BE COFFEE The Village was once famous for its coffee houses that one had to enter from the street level moving downward. Well, a tj east in the West Village those days are numbered. They 've got brand new coffee houses at street level that rival Howard Johnson 's. This ju st ain't proper. They are starting a movement to begin street-side cafes. Emulating the French may not be too bad, but some people will still remember the cellar coffee shops —too bad they're only memories. BRING IT ON HOME Arriving home late Saturday nite it was good to find our own coffee shop, the Bye The Way, in full swing . Tho waltering service was being taken care of by Beta Sig fraternity. Will tho pers on who picked up a 1007 BSC doss rin g in the college library on the evening of March 8, please return it to tho Dean of Stud ents Office. The Day Women's Association will hold an Easter Party, March 21 from 11 to 2 p.m. in Carver Hall... Refres hments. ... ««
