College Council holds 5th meeting The fifth meeting of the Community Government Association was held on Monday, December 4 at 7:00 p.m. in Kuster Auditorium . There were committee reports on Budget and Finance concerning revision proposals for the Judicial Board in attaining new members , the Athletic Grant Fund plans , and ASCO 's decision on the "ability to pay" tuition proposal. coaches , four students and Dean Haupt about the Athletic Grant Fund. Three thousa nd dollars was given by CGA for this fund. There were suggestions to use the fund by giving the athletes the money , using it to pay his tuition , or provide a dinner meal ticke t. It is not definite as to the futu re of this fund because after this money is depleted , it is up to the coa ches and students to keep the idea going. Judicial Report The judicial commit tee is revising its platform for membership. They are consider ing allowing freshmen on the board but not in the capacity of officers because freshmen are not as familiar with the laws as upperclass members. To join , the upperclassmen must have a cum of at least 2.0. The candidate for the board must acquire" the popular vote and submi t a statement to the Reside nt Dean as to why they want to join. It was suggested that an intervi ew with the dean would help to better understand the character of the candidate. The requirement of obtaining the Resident Advisor 's recom mendation is under consideration of being dropp ed because the RA could not get to know the candidate well enough in a month' s time. It was suggested that at all meetings there should be a tape recorder as well as a secretary to make sure of what ha ppened in case a cer ta in poi n t is under debate. A suggesti on for a summer board dur ing summer session as well as a September board in wh ich mem ber s w ould be chosen i n May was al so cons idered.

And so sometimes we can 't give to our readers all that we want them to hav e so they can be adequately inform ed of wordly phenomena . A good example is the long* but well thought -out article written by Father Bernard Petrina of the Catholic Cam pus Ministry and an equally well thought-o ut letter by Dr . Craig Himes of the Biology Department. Both of these men at tended the AWS Sexuality progra m on Nov. 14 featuring Mr. Bill Baird who covered the controvers ial topic s of birth control , abortion , and the Roman Catholic Church 's attitude on these social situation s. After listening for almost two hours to the nat i onal advoca te for women 's rights , Dr. Himes and Father Petrina hit the typ ewriters to give their side of the whole st or y. This newspa per couldn 't publish in it their remarks because of a 400 word lim it on letters cited in every issue. So we offer for your reading a capsulized version - of each with the ir permission . Although Dr. Himes congratulated t hose students and facul t y personnel respons i ble for the pr ogram he also wished to brin g to the attenti on of our readers some of his i m pressions of Bill Baird . Fundam entall y, Dr. H i mes had no hassle wi th the basics of Mr. Baird' s remarks and f elt tha t he was correct so far as h is statem ents concerning birth control and its allied physiology are involved. His disagreement with Mr. Baird is, as he puts , it , " more academic than real " . For exam ple , Dr. H i mes hopes that those who attended the ta lk real ized that Mr. Baird emphasized the ex- tre mes more often than the average , normal , or general when citing statistical information concerning pregnanc y, lit ** tit si r» sn t «* s\ 1 *\ w\ *& *v* a I a ejaculation. . Dr . Himes further points out that Mr. Baird left his listeners with the im pression that " the normal male ejaculation may contain as many as 500 million sperm cells" . It may, accordin g to some autnoritiesj but Mr. Baird did not emphasize that "the figure most widely reported is more on the order of 350 million " . According to Dr Himes other examples like this one tended to crea te more misunder standin g than comprehension on the part of the student . Although Dr . Himes is not a Roman Catholic , he found Mr . Baird 's severe indictment of the Church to be open to some question . And this is where Father Petrina comes into the picturejsince his analysis of the Church 's position is done in more detail than Dr. Hime 's. Father Petrina questioned Mr. Bai r d 's allegation that the Catholic Church has instigated a huge lobby effort with an enormous outlay of funds and by ' '\. . y ' "? :' : -i ^y . ^^f ^^^ Book Revie w The statement by Mr. Bair d that pri ests receive preferential treatm ent from Allegheny Airlines way clarified by fathe r Petrina 's calling a local trave l agency . It is the policy of the airline to grant reservations to military personnel , students , any member of the clergy and some other groups. Other areas of concern stated by Father Petrina are contained in his article which is on file in the A Little Guv The Forgotten Soldier by jim sachetti -There is a scene in **The Forgo tten Soldier " by Guy Sajer (Ballantine JPaperback ; $1 95) in which the main charac ter , Sajer himself , is talking to Paula , a young girl he has just met. He is a German soldier , back in Berlin on leave after his first winter on Hitler 's disastrous Russ ian front . She has just asked him to tell her about life on the battlefield , and he describes his response : "...I did mv best to embroider what I said...l didn 't want her to understand what our experiences had really been like. I didn 't want Like Paula , and like most of the other people ii* the world, I grew up with the Hollywood version — the -glory , the herois m , . the derrin g-do, the gung ho.

E. Nelson field house Saturda y night. John Willis played a whale of a game for the Huskies, scoring 19 points , grabbing 15 rebounds , and blocking three shots . John was aided by Gar y Tyler , who hit five of six shots , grabbed a few - rebounds , and got the outlet pass out to the str eaking guards quickly. Joe Kempski , the 6'3" transfer guard , chipped in ten points and played a fine defensive game. Tony DaRae and Art Luptowski played the Ram guards tough , causi ng numerous turnovers and kept the West Chester men from penetrating the Husk y middle. DaRae was the local 's number two scorer with 16 points, many from layups tha t started from quick outlet passes from the Husk y forwards. After opening the 10-0 lead early in the game, the Huskies were never to be challenged. They jumped - out to a 37-20 half time 'lead following accurate shootin g and tough defense. After the Huskies built up a 20 point - plus margin in the second hal f , Coach Chronister substitutes added more , jumping to as much as a 25 point lead at ., times.

The Huskies first regular meet of the season was at Temple . A long and tiring bus ri de took its toll even before the Huskies first set foot on the pool deck.

To relive and transfer onto paper , 30 years later , the terrors recounted in "The Forgotten Soldier " , must have been a nightmare. But he did it . He forced himself to add one more work to the body of anti-war litera ture. But unlike mos t of his more-literary predecessors , Sajer doesn 't rely on allegory, metaphor , message ; his technique is the plain , unvarnished tru th about war as he experienced it. "The Forg otten Soldier " conta ins no morals; Sajer rarely lifts his narrat ive from the horrors of combat to the broader moral and ethical questions surrounding his miserable positiop . He merely describes that position , and its wretchedness more than adequately makes his point. Sajer never encum bers his story with politics or historical overviews. The fact that he is a German is irrelevant . He is not political , not a Nazi or a war criminal ; he is a human being thrust against his will into a position he never deserves. He is not fighting for Germany or the Fuehrer , he is fighting, like an animal , simply to keep himself alive. The Center for International Studies , under the direction of Robert C. Miller , ann ounces a round-trip travel arrangement to Madrid , Spain. The Center , through the Pennsylvania Council for International Education and the Pennsylvania Consortium for International Education , offers reduced airfare on a major airlines— $190 roundtrip, from New York City to Madrid. The purpose of the Center for want to see. Ema ciated cats eat the hands of Sajer 's dead comrades. Sgt. Rock was never like th at. On occasion , Sajer waxes elloquent. At one point he remarks " ...if I should happen to be the only casualt y in a victorious army of a million meji , that victory would be withou t interest for me." But on the whole , his wri ting is not brilliant. He is no artist , his story-telling prose in unembellished with literary device. He demonstrates no particul ar incite , he draws us no conclusi ons and asks us to draw non e of our own. Guy Sajer is just a common man , who miraculousl y managed to survive the insanity of modern warfare and decided to tell the world the truth about th at insanity. It is the raw and shocking power of that tr uth that will make "The Forgotten Soldier " one of the most unforgettable books you will ever read. me mina iteDeis Raised on "Our Army at War " and "GI" comics, my mind rebelled at Sajer 's account of the last 10 seconds in the lives of three Russian POW' s — chained to a gate , a live grenade lying at their feet and their voices begging God for mercy in a ghastly chorus of shrieks. My stomach turned at Sajer 's accounts of his winters on the Russian steppe — frostbitten half to death by the -40 degree cold, feasted upon by lice, half starved for lack of supplies and half out of their minds from the psychological stress of constant bombardment and attack. When bombs fall on Sajer and his . companions , they loose control of their bladders and scream to their gods and the memories of thei r mothers for mercy. When attacked , they often run , or cringe in their shelters , or on rare occasions , fire their guns aimlessl y at enemies they can 't and don 't ever "Sp iri t " Get your at The Studio Shop (We specialize in Christmas 59 E.
