Miss Gail Harrington (Ret 1),
was crowned as queen at the
9th annual Theta Gamma Snowball.
Runner up for Sweetheart
was Miss Jean Fisher (BA 2).
Following the crowning of the
queen she was serenaded by the
brothers of Theta Gamma. Miss
Harrington is also a member of
the public relations staff for
the Reporter.
The highly successful weekend
started Friday evening with the
Snowblast which was held at the
Reporter to Sponsor
'Miss RIT' Campaign
Hot on the heels of the Reporter's recent dust-disturbing
proclamation (the Reporter has gone weekly), RIT's answer to
Pravda has come up with another first magnitude announcement.
Mr. Campus is going to have a rival.
Somewhere in the candle-lit
corridors of ye ole Institute some
young lass will gain immortal
fame as RIT's first "Miss RIT."
Sponsored by the Institute's most
progressive organization, the
(completely unbiased) Reporter
will conduct a school wide contest
to determine what young
co-ed is RIT's most likeable lass.
Arrangements for managing the
contest will be handled by the
Reporter's public relations staff.
On the initial ballot, any student
may nominate any candidate,
including former queens,
provided that 1) said candidate
Conclave, Food
Planned by Hillel
Conventions, food and speakers
adorn the agenda for future
Hillel functions at RIT. Hal
Goodman, the president of Hillel
said, "This year Hillel has decided
to emphasize the social
aspects of our program in addition
to standard cultural ideas."
Future conventions will take
place at Oswego and another at
Kingston, Ontario. The latter will
be held at Queens College on
Feb. 6 and 7. The convention
will be attended by Hillels from
throughout the United States and
Canada. Mutual problems and
betterment of each individual
Hillel will be the main topics
of discussion.
Food will be the main topic
at the annual Lox and Bagel
Brunch to be held on Feb. 8 at
noon. This meal is the highlight
of the year for it provides a
chance for members to get together
over good food and discuss
questions and problems that
they may have.
Speaking to the group Feb. 3
will be Rabbi Gordon from Elmira,
New York. Other events
coming up are dances and combined
affairs with RBI and also
the U of R.
813 Club. Featured Friday evening
was the John Thyson quartet,
and Mona.
The Snowball was held at the
Sheraton Hotel in the Starlight
Ballroom, where approximately
250 couples attended the dance.
Music was provided by the seven
piece orchestra of Joe Bennett.
The climax of the weekend
was a closed party for the
brothers with the sisters of
Alpha Psi.
is a girl, and 2) said girl is
unmarried. After the initial balloting
which will take place
during the week of Feb. 2, all
votes will be tabulated and the
seven girls with the highest
number of nominations will vie
for the top honor.
A second ballot will be held
during the week of Feb. 16,
urging all students to vote for
one of the seven finalists. All
balloting will be in front of Room
E-125 in the Eastman Building
during the noon hour. A student
may vote by simply writing his
or her choice on a piece of
paper and depositing it in the
box in front of Room E-125. A
student association card will be
needed.
On Feb. 13, the seven candidates
selected on the initial ballot
will appear in the Reporter,
and the winner of the contest,
the first "Miss RIT," will grace
a full-page color cover Reporter
during the month of March.
Retailing Group Names
Miss Edwina Hogadone
First Woman President
Miss Edwina B. Hogadone, the
head of RIT's Retailing Department,
became the first woman
ever elected president of the
American Collegiate Retailing
Association at the association's
annual business meeting held at
New York University's School of
Retailing on Friday, Jan. 16.
Miss Hogadone assumed office
immediately. Other officers of
the association elected at the
annual meeting were: vice president,
Dr. Albert Smith, dean of
the graduate school of retailing,
Univ. of Pittsburgh; secretary,
Ralph Rush, director of the
School of Distribution, William
and Mary College; and treasurer,
Charles Whalen, chairman of the
department of retailing, Univ. of
Dayton.
Proposed Loan Fund
Voted Down by Council
At Monday's Meeting
In a heated legislative battle,
Student Council voted down an
effort by its executive committee
to use part of the surplus fund
for a student loan fund. The
action took place at Council's
meeting last Monday, Jan. 26.
During the course of the meeting,
a vote was taken on the
issue three times, with the results
differing each time. A roll
call vote of 24-20 finally defeated
the motion.
The executive committee, under
the direction of President
Kay Finley, presented the proposal
for establishing a loan fund
to Council. The proposal in short
consisted of three areas which
would determine the eligibility,
application and repayment of
loans made to students.
Eligibility would have been
on the basis of Student Association
membership, a 2.0 cumulative
average, a recommendation
by the department head, college
board exams and a financial
statement. Only upperclassmen
were to have been eligible.
All mechanics of application
would have been in the hands of
the comptroller and his office.
Repayment would be made on
the basis of three percent interest
per year on the unpaid
balance, not to start until six
months after graduation. A minimum
of 20 percent could be
repaid each year, and no more
than five years could be taken
for payment.
Most opposition to the proposed
loan fund came from the
Council members who either felt
that sponsoring such a fund was
not the duty of Council and that
the administration could adequately
take care of all needs,
or who considered the risk of
loaning out the money too great.
They also felt that the money
should be left in the surplus fund
to be used in the future -for
furnishing a student union when
it is built.
The first vote by show of
hands resulted in a defeat for
the motion 21-17. At the request
of Arthur Gardner, Council vicepresident,
a revote was made,
which resulted in a tie vote of
19-19. In order to break the tie,
a rollcall vote was taken, the
first count of which was 21-21.
Challenging this count, some
Council members asked for a
recount, which resulted in the
final 24-20 count.
This is the second in a series of reports
on the leadership conference held last
December by Student Council. It deals
with the report of the discussion group on
the topic of organizational coordination.
One representative from every
class in every department for
every 40 students is elected to
Council each year. The present
size is approximately 60 members.
Weekly attendance is comparatively
good, ranging from
40-50 members. The Senate is
comprised of one member from
every department, and serves as
the Election Board of Control.
The necessary committees are
set up each year. These include
the legislative and financial, publicity
and advertising, student
affairs (handles the parking lot),
and the social division which
handles Spring Weekend.
During the discussion periods
many criticisms were brought
forth: 1 Members of Council do
not effectively inform their constituents
of pertinent information
from Council meetings. 2 The
duties of representatives are not
clearly defined each year. 3 The
elections of representatives are
Skaters' Delight
Rochester Host to
Ice Championships
When terms such as edges, senior pairs, novice, and compulsory
dances are mentioned to most persons, they probably
prove somewhat mystifying. But to over 20,000 others throughout
the United States, these are some of the all important determinants
of skill and facility in a wonderful, fascinating sport. This
difficult, exacting, and exciting sport is figure skating.
The United States Figure Skating
Association (USFSA), governing
all amateur figure skating
throughout the United States,
holds its National Championships
Competition each year.
For the first time in the 41
competitions, Rochester will be
host to the event, which is being
sponsored jointly by the Genesee
Figure Skating Club, Inc. and
the Rochester Junior Chamber
of Commerce.
This will bring the world's
finest skaters to Rochester, for
the United States participants
have taken most events in both
the Olympics and the World
Championships for a number
of years.
The really exciting part of this
event to RIT students is that
the judging will take place at
Forensic Society
Invited to Tourney
An invitational debate tournament
at Notre Dame University
has been added to this year's
Forensic Society's debate schedule.
This tournament will be held
March 6-7 for debaters from
the U. S. and Canada.
Two of the varsity debaters,
Bob Kohler and Kay Finley,
will represent RIT in the six
round tournament.
The national topic, "Resolved:
that the further development of
nuclear weapons should be prohibited
by international agreement,"
will be discussed. The
rounds of debate are unique in
that teams are composed of two,
rather than the usual four people
and the participants do not know
before whether they will take
the affirmative or negative side.
Both cases must, therefore be
prepared and studied.
After the final round, there
will be run-offs for those with
the highest scores. These people
will be further narrowed down
to determine the winners of the
tournament.
often poorly handled. 4 There is
poor communication between the
Council and the entire student
body.
In view of these criticisms,
many suggestions were offered:
1 The Council representative
should meet regularly with the
people he represents in his department.
An alternate suggestion
is that members report
Council business in their classes
the following morning. However,
it may be noted that this plan
was ineffective last year.
2 A Representative's duties
should be outlined after he is
elected with special attention
paid to the freshman members.
Perhaps a program of training
should be required for all representatives
followed by some sort
of a qualifications test.
3 Some specific requirements
for representative elections that
must be adhered to should be
inaugerated.
4 To facilitate reading of the
entire minutes, a synopsis of
all important Council business
the Rochester War Memorial—
and the Ritter-Clark rink. This
brings an occurrence of national
importance right onto campus,
which should be of interest to
the many skating fans in the
student body.
For the rest of the students
who know little about the sport,
a brief explanaion may be necessary.
The object of the USFSA
is "to improve, encourage, and
advance amateur figure skating
in all its branches."
It strives to promote good
sportsmanship, keep skating free
from commercialism, and protect
the amateur status of its
members. In regard to the latter
item, all competitors are either
individual members or part of
a club membership in USFSA.
An interesting sidelight to this
is that all judges, officials, and
personnel connected with the
Nationals give of their time and
effort without any compensation,
solely from love of the sport.
There are three classes of
judging; individual skating, pair
skating, and ice dancing.
Individual skating falls into two
catagories; compulsory figures
and free skating. The first catagory
consists of the mastery of
"school figures" which are determined
by rules and divided into
eight tests. There is a total of
69 figures to master. The judges
mark this catagory, consisting of
60 percent of the skater's final
score, on such things as accuracy
of tracings on the ice, the size
and symmetry of the circles, the
absence of wobbles, and grace.
The second catagory is a creative,
personal interpretation of
music using unspecified movements
over the ice. This is the
spectacular part of individual
skating where jumps, spins, spirals,
and pirouettes are the only
means by which the skater expresses
his individuality. Scoring
here is based on difficulty, variety,
harmonious composition of
program, and manner of performance
in execution.

Report on Leadership Conference Presented;
Organizational Coordination Topic Discussed
should be easily accessible to the
students. Fliers posted in a container
would be easier to read
than one notice on the departmental
bulletin boards.
While discussing the basic
'structure of the Council, various
opinions were expressed: 1 Council
should be composed of departmental
representatives as
opposed to organizational or any
other type or representation.
2 The budget should still be
handled through Student Council
instead of through Inter-org Council
as someone proposed. (At
that meeting of Inter-org of
Dec. 9, 1958 a motion stating
that Inter-org should handle the
organizational budget was defeated
by the members of the
Inter-org Council.)
3 Many persons feel that Student
Council is too large to run
efficiently. There is considerable
controversy over this point.
4 Through the Student Council,
some sort of seminar program
should be made available to the
students similar to other schools.

Rochester's Hit Tune: 'Skater's Waltz'
Welcome, skaters!
This week, RIT is privileged to be host to part of the
National Figure Skating Championships being held in Rochester.
Early this week, today, tomorrow and Sunday, skaters from all
over the United States will be here to compete for national honors.
Preliminaries are to be held in the Ritter-Clark rink, and
finals in the Rochester War Memorial. This offers the opportunity
to every "RIT-er" to see some of the world's finest skaters
in action.
In many ways, these amateurs are more skilled in their
sport than professionals seen in some of the commercial skating
shows. The amateurs must constantly compete and improve themselves
to keep their titles, while professionals are no longer in
active competition.
Tickets for most of the events are only one dollar a day.
This entitles the ticket holder admission to the competitions on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, in both the RIT rink and the
War Memorial. Sunday's events in the Memorial are $2.50 each
For skaters and non-skaters alike, this is an unequaled
opportunity to see some of the world's finest skaters, at their
best, competing for top honors in this fascinating, exacting sport.
Instructors Study Too!
Once it was impossible to earn a degree in such specialized
courses as those offered here at RIT. Photography and printing
are probably two of the best examples. Not only was a degree in
these fields unheard of, but there was no great need for a degree.
Since someone must be brought in to teach a course, industry
was tapped for outstanding men in the field. These men were the
first instructors at RIT. Under their leardership and direction, the
Institute flourished and matured until even bachelor degrees
were being awarded to their students. Students who, degree-wise,
outranked their own teachers.
Although industry was heavily used for instructors, a surprisingly
few instructors at RIT do not hold degrees. More
important, those that do not hold any degrees are working to
get them. There is no better example of an interested faculty
than their struggle for additional education. Through an instructor's
increased knowledge, students gain in every respect.
Probably every instructor at RIT, degree holder or not,
could use a course in speech. Listening to a monotone, dry
lecture would bore even the most enthusiastic student.
Additional education is important to everyone, especially
college instructors. When one ceases to learn, he ceases to exist.
Advancement by Leaps and Bounds
RIT is like a tree. The small seedling that started out 130
years ago as the Rochester Athenaeum has grown and branched
out until today it stands tall, recognized the world over as a
progressive institution.
Like a tree, RIT could measure its progress in concentric
rings of growth. Just a few years ago, the Institute started granting
bachelor's degrees. Before that, it was the first school in New
York State to give the Associate of Applied Science degree.
Last year, another concentric ring of growth was added, in
the form of accreditation by the Middle States Association. With
the coming of I959, another important announcement was made.
Master's degrees and the start of a master's program will
soon get underway at the Institute. The official announcement has
already been made by the Division of the Arts. Other divisions
will no doubt soon, follow.
This quiet expansion in educational facilities is of vast
importance to the Institute. First, it offers a graduate program
suited to the specific needs of a technical institution. In the past,
many students going on for graduate study at liberal arts schools,
found the more specialized background given at RIT a handicap
in some cases. A tailor-made graduate program should readily
solve this problem.
Second, from the standpoint of prestige, RIT has gained
immeasurably by this recent announcement. No more are the
days of the "glorified high school."
RIT is almost full-grown.
Better Late Than Never
Late news became old news when last Friday's issue of the
Reporter was delayed, due to mechanical failure in GARD.
Rather than cancel the whole issue, only a local distribution
was made on Tuesday. Only 600 copies were released Friday
before the presses broke down; such is life.

FROM HERE
According to the resume of the
Leadership Training Conference
which was held early in December,
the RIT Inter-Organizational
Council is practically dormant.
These are the facts, in the words
of the resume: "Inter-org is
composed of the president and
social chairman from every organization
on the campus. This
brings the membership to nearly
80. The attendance, however, is
very poor with only one-third of
the membership represented. . .
disinterest exists because Inter-
Org doesn't do anything for the
organizations . ,. purpose not well
defined to members . . . relatively
little power . . . not aware of
proper procedures . . . And so
forth.
Now that the turtle of progress
has come out of his shell and
is beginning to consider streamlining
our student government,
perhaps an active group of Inter-
Org members will face the problem
at hand. It is time for a
set of recommendations to be
presented to Student Council as
to (1) increasing the powers and
duties of Inter-Org Council, (2)
constitutionally limiting Inter-Org
to a social calendar date-setting
committee (admittedly the sole
function of the group today) or
(3) eliminating the group altogether.
To the Editor:
Institute Co-eds Disgusted;
Say RIT Men Lack 'Courtesy'
Dear Editors:
The co-eds of RIT have been
hearing a number of comments
about the lack of femininity in
the girls at RIT. Could this perhaps
be due to the lack of
common courtesy in the male
population of the school?
The 8 a.m. snack bar rush is
really something riotous to see.
We are carried along by a sea
of masculine giants. We are
loaded with books, coats, handbags,
tackle boxes, drawing pads.
We fight our way through the
mob only to be greeted by a
swinging door through which a
potential gentleman just passed.
Perhaps he could use that potential
and hold the door until
we are at least half way out and
can push the rest of the way
unscabbed. It may take a minute
FRED GUEVARA
Inter-Org includes officers from
every organization at RIT. These
are the active campus leaders;
these are the leaders who shudder
at the word "apathy." To
them I say . . . The problem is
obvious. It's your move.
Rochester has an average of
74.9 inches of snow yearly. The
majority of this usually occurs
in January and February. On
Jan. 22 of this year, however,
the temperature was above forty
and a mild, steady rain was
falling. The occasion? The wouldbe
Winter Weekend Snow Sculpture
Contest. I'll bet it snows
Spring Weekend too.

more of his time, but then, if
he left when the bell rang he'd
have the extra minute to spare.
And just think of the boost to
the ego to hear a sweet feminine
"thank you" so early in the
morning.
A few of us have tried experiments.
We've dropped books,
we've fallen in the snow, we've
just sort of "slipped" on the wet
shiny floors of Eastman, the
Annex, and Kate Gleason. It's
just wonderful to hear the consoling
remarks of the gentlemen
(?) standing around. "Whoops,"
they say from a safe distance,
"better watch your step," or
"embarrassing isn't it."
And then there are the narrow
steps and hallways of the Annex.
We can barely get in the door
because of the crowds of men.
Finally we do manage to get our
"excuse me's" through their
hard heads and some of them
grudgingly step aside. We are
watched, and watched, with remarks
and whistling to accompany
us on our way up the stairs.
Then again comes break time
and the snack bar. Men, men,
everywhere and not a place to
sit. Men talking, men playing
cards, men dozing, while we
stand around balancing coffee
cups, cigarettes, food. The men
look so innocent. They gaze at
us with a far away look and
murmur something to the effect
"can't you find a chair?" And
then at the far end of the snack
bar we see, lo and behold, a
CHAIR! So we proceed our way
through the obstacle course. And
will any of the kind gentlemen
move? You know the answer.
' Enough of the gripes I guess.
We realize that most of the boys
we know are mannerly when they
take the time to think. But
won't they PLEASE realize that
you don't have to know a girl
to be polite, to open a door when
she's loaded down with books, to
try not to push and shove in
the snack bar and crowded halls
and doorways. These are just
everyday niceties which every
girl expects and every boy who
has been reared to some extent,
should know how to do.
We hope this letter will bring
effects—but we are not taking
any bets.
Sincerely,
Jan Carlson,

EVENING
DIVISION
Rochester businessmen rub shoulders with
housewives; last year's high school graduates
sit beside college administrators; and secretaries
learn alongside their bosses. This is the
RIT Evening Division.
Almost 5000 students, both young and old,
attend classes in RIT's Evening Division. When
the day student leaves for the day, then the
doors open for the evening student—more
people trying to get more education.
Tracing its orgin back to 1829, the Evening
Division reflects the general public's ever increasing
trend toward additional education.
Enrollment in the Evening Division was 2,071
during the 1944-45 school year; last year the
figure was 4,541; this year, even higher. Not
only has student enrollment grown over the
years, but class hours per student have increased
over 200 per cent since the 1944-45
school year.
Working closely with industry, business and
community groups, the Evening Division offers
over 250 different courses, encompassing all
departments on campus. Special RIT courses
are offered at local firms and other courses are
offered at nearby suburban high schools.
Holding courses in these different locations
makes it easier for students to attend classes.
Even intensive summer courses are offered
during the day by the Evening Division in
special fields.
Definite steps are being made to expand
the Evening Division to an even greater degree.
Recently, the Evening Division joined
the National University Extension Association
and received membership in the Association
of University Evening Colleges. Increased
demand for the development of a curriculum
leading to a bachelor's degree is becoming
more and more evident. In connection with
this fact, the Evening Division has set a goal
for the bachelor program to begin with the
1 959-60 school year. Another step towards
better education.
"You're never too old or too young to
learn;" that's the motto of the RIT Evening
Division.

There Is A Wrestling Team! ...
When a student mentions sports at RIT, the first thought
which enters everyone's mind is BASKETBALL.
We can't blame them, for this year the Hoopsters are doing
exceedingly well. They have won 9 out of I0 ball games, and
some of their victories have been against top competition.
Nevertheless there still is a sport at Rochester Tech which
is called wrestling. (Just a reminder if you forgot.)
This sport called wrestling is also doing fairly well. The
team's record is 7-2. The two losses were to West Virginia and
Waynesburg. (Wrestling powers which are known all over the
country.)
Students, this year's wrestlers make up an exciting and talented
squad. How about giving them some support?
Did you know that their season is more than half over, and
Jerry Huffman is still undefeated?
Chuck Missikian, Jim Kennedy, and Ray West have only
lost one match apiece. Why, the Matmen even have a star
heavyweight in Ken Klaus.
They also have a great team man in the person of Dick
Zoyhofski. Zoyhofski has sacrificed the distinction of possibly an
undefeated year, because he contended to wrestle in the I67
pound class, instead of his normal I57 pound division.
RIT was weak at I67 pounds and Zoyhofski stepped right
in. He has lost two bouts.
The Matmen's next match is against the U. S. Merchant
Marine Academy. In fact, it will be held tomorrow evening at
home.
Hockey . . .
Have you ever asked yourself, "Why doesn't RIT have a
hockey team? Why isn't a school of this size and located as it is,
represented in one of America's most colorful, most popular
sports"? Well RIT is represented by a hockey team . . . but only
indirectly. Students from RIT are now playing hockey in the
Rochester Senior Amateur League under the banner of Mandell's
Pharmacy. You may ask, "Why don't they use the name of RIT"?
The reason they do not is because their uniforms were paid for by
Mandell's, though the players themselves have paid for other
equipment and ice rental.
This is a good team . . . one that RIT could be well proud
of. Hockey is inevitable at RIT. We all know this. Why, then,
shouldn't the hockey team grow with the school?
The team is organized. The players have shown their interest
and their spirit. Let's give them our support in their campaign to
bring hockey to RIT. The ground work has been laid. We must
complete the structure.
Paladino, Sophomore Basketball Star
"A good defensive man, the
best ball handler on the team,
and a real hustler," is the way
Coach Lou Alexander describes
little Don Paladino. He is the
only sophomore to break into this
years' veteran basketball lineup.
The 5'9" Business Administration
student is a graduate of
LeRoy High School where he
was a member of the basketball,
baseball, and football teams for
four years. In his senior year,
he won a trophy for his high
of 66 assists in 14 games.
Last year as a member of the
freshmen team, which had a 13-4
record, he also led in assists.
This season Don won out over
senior Kenny Eybers for the left
guard position. He has started
in 8 of 10 games played thus
far, averaging 8.5 points a game.
He has made 30 of 79 field goal
attempts for an average of 78.1
percent, 25 of 37 shots from the
charity line, and has totaled 85
points altogether. His high for
one game so far has been 18
points, which he scored against
Oneonta State.
Don Paladino
Tech Tourney
Is A Reality
For the first time in its history,
RIT will sponsor a basketball
tournament, which will be
held at the Ritter-Clark gym.
The tournament, to be known
as the RIT Invitational Tech
Tournament, will take place on
March 13 and 14, and will have
four teams participating.
The committee received word
on Jan. 20 that the last of the
three teams invited had indicated
they would come. This completes
the four teams which are;
Clarkson College of Potsdam,
N. Y., Lawrence Institute of
Technology from Detroit, Mich.,
Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute
from Troy, N. Y., and RIT.
There will be two games each

be played prior to the championship
game.
The other details are still
under study by the committee,

and Lou Alexander Jr.
Tigers Take Canadians
The Tiger's veteran basketball
team picked up their ninth win
in ten starts as they edged by
the University of Toronto 70-64,
on the Toronto court.
The big difference in the game
was Ed Baucum, the Techman's
all time scoring great, netting
29 points for the night. This extended
his record-setting career
total to 1,230 points.
RIT took an early lead in the
game and held on for a one
point, 35-34 halftime lead.
At the beginning of the second
half, Toronto put on a spurt
which carried them to a 46-41
lead. It was at this point that
Arnie Cardillo netted six of his
eight points. This, coupled with
two baskets by Ed Baucum, and
another by Ron Milko, put RIT
back in the lead. They held the
lead for the remainder of the
game.
Although RIT was outshot from
the field 25-20, they cashed in
on the 28 fouls committed by
the Toronto club, giving up 13
themselves. The Techmen scored
30 points from the charity line
as compared to the Blues 14.-
Following Baucum's 29 point
high game was Ron Milko's 19.
Brockport Here
Tonight at the Ritter-Clark
gym, the RIT Tigers, sporting a
record of 9 wins and 1 loss, face
Brockport State Teachers College.
This is their second encounter
of the year with the
neighboring Golden Eagles.
Brockport has been RIT's traditional
rival for several years,
and they usually put a tough
team on the floor.
During the 1956-57 season, RIT
posted a 68-59 victory on their
own hardwood, after they had
lost in a previous meeting, 79-65
at Brockport.
The following year, Brockport
State playing on their own floor,
edged the Techmen 82-78. In the
return match at the Ritter-Clark
gym, RIT swamped the Golden
Eagles 88-67.
The 1958-59 season has been
different however, as RIT playing
on the Brockport hardwood,
overran the weak state team
79-60, with the second string
playing a good part of the game.
This marked the second time
Rochester Tech has been able
to defeat Brockport on their
own court.
In that game, Colin McAdam
proved to be most of the scoring
punch for the teachers as he
netted 31 points. No other Brockport
player reached double
figures. RIT however, had 3
players hit double figures, and
Ed Baucum broke the school
record for total points scored
during one's career.
The game should be one of
the best this year for spectators,
and one of the tougher matches
for the cagers.
Wrestlers Successful;
Defeat Alfred 24-10
It looks like a RIT wrestler has an opponent's finger in his eye.
He does.
(Hardee Photo)
Posting its seventh win of the
season, the RIT wrestling team
pinned a 24-10 loss on Alfred
University on Saturday evening,
Jan. 24.
Jerry Huffman, 147 pounder,
and Jim Kennedy, in the 157
pound class, led the way over
the Saxons. Huffman picked up
his ninth straight win of the
Has-Benz Bowlers
In First Place
The Has-Benz bowlers have
been burning up the alleys lately.
Their hot surge has given them
a four game lead on first place.
Meanwhile Dick Sekerak, a
member of the D's & C, accomplished
an unusual feat in that
he bowled a 146 triplicate. In
other words, he shot 146 for the
first, second and third games.
However, Dick wasn't overjoyed
since he carries a 163 average,
and dropped two points.
Jim Treloar continues to lead
the league in both high average
and high game. His 176 average
tops Ed Boes' by two pins, while
his 244 game has a nine pin
bulge over Jerry Antos' 235.
There haven't been any new
high team totals rolled in the past
month. This is because all of
the teams, with the exception
of the Has-Benz, have been busy
eliminating one another out of
contention.
Preparations are being made
for the annual bowling banquet
to be held in April. The individual
trophies will be awarded
at this time.
Fencing Preview
RIT's fencers will face a
visiting University of Toronto
team tomorrow afternoon at 1:00.
A highly competitive match is
expected.
The Bladesmen will play their
toughest opponents in the foil
and sabre divisions. The sabre
squad has lost two years in a
row to Toronto, while foil was
defeated last year.
During the 1956-57 season RIT
beat Toronto 15-12. In the 1957-58
season RIT was defeated 16-11.
The Tigers seem to be a much
stronger team than in previous
years. All three weapons have
winning averages. The sabre
squad is holding down a .704
percentage average.
Foilman Dick Greene will try
to run his winning streak to 21
bouts. In the epee department,
Derry Mounce will be looking
for three wins to increase his
streak to 12 in a row.

impressive 6-0 decision over the
previously unbeaten Larry Wander
of the Alfred team.
A crowd of 300 were on hand
at the Ritter-Clark gym to see
the Tiger grapplers gain a ten
point lead even before the match
officially got underway. The
Saxons forfeited in both the 123
and 137 pound classes.
Doug Cullen, at 130 pounds, led
off with a 5-0 win over Alfred's
Jim Tenzel. Captain Jerry Huffman
followed with a pin on his
opponent that came in 2:15 of
the first period. Kennedy then
picked up his win in the 157
pound class and assured a victory
for the Tiger squad. At 167
pounds, Dick Zoyhofski turned
the trick and came through with
a strong 7-0 decision over Saxon's
Lyle Wiedetman.
Alfred made a strong bid late
in the evening when Denny Kohler
pinned RIT's Bob Cully, and
heavyweight Herm Lederberg
pinned Ken Klaus.
In the preliminary contest,
Coach Dick Moyer's freshmen
wrestlers won their third match
of the season with an 18-16 decision
over Alfred Tech's freshmen
team.
Freshmen Cagers Win
Extend Record To 7-1
As the season nears the halfway
mark, RIT's freshmen basketball
team is sporting a 7-1
record. The only loss suffered
this year, was to a strong undefeated
University of Rochester
team, 77-72.
In their last game the frosh
beat Hobart College by a score
of 76-64. Tiger John Berdine's
accuracy accounted for nineteen
points.
"They are a hustling group of
boys, who are always in there
scrapping," said Bob Klos, the
frosh coach.
The two mainstays of the team
are Bob Peck and John Berdine.
Peck is capable of shooting with
both hands, and Berdine has a
soft set shot. Both men can score
from any point on the court.
RIT's freshmen will play.
Brockport State tonight. They
beat the Golden Eagles 65-60 in
overtime, early in the season.
Intramurals Begin
Tools (Mechanical), Electrical
IV, and Printing II are the three
top teams in the Departmental
Intramural Basketball League.
They all have 2-0 records.
Business Administration wound
up with a 2-1 record when they
lost to Printing II 30-25, on
Thursday night. The Business
Administration department team
was the top contender for first
place honors after a week's
playing time.
The score was close throughout
the game. Near the end,
Dick Bojanowski put the Printers
ahead with a string of eight
consecutive points.

In the colorful rushing of the
pledges can be seen the future
endurance of strong and lasting
friendships. As pledging is at its
halfway mark, the brothers and
sisters are becoming better acquainted
with the abilities and
sportsmanship of their pledges.
Each have a proud feeling to
see their colors worn by a new
face that will be in their place
next year, experiencing the same
feelings.
Last weekend was a most
memorable one. The annual Winter
Weekend sponsored by Sigma.
Thete Gamma fraternity began
on Friday evening, Jan. 23, with
the Snow Blast. The occasion
was an open beer party at the

Cards Fall Right
At 'Night of Sin'
In a true Monte Carlo atmosphere,
Kappa Sigma Kappa presented
their second annual "Night
of Sin." The event was held at the
North Clinton Hall, Saturday evening,
Jan. 17, from 8 to 12 p.m.
The evening's entertainment
consisted of gambling at games
of chance, with $50,000 given to
each person who attended. At
the end of the evening a trophy
was awarded Theta Gamma for
the largest amount of money
won. Their grand total exceeded
the six billion mark.
"Night of Sin" is now an annual
event, which was originated
through the effort of Mike Gotz.
Skating . . .
Continued from Page 2
Pair skating is free skating
done by two persons in unison
to music. They need not always
perform identical movements but
they must give the impression
of unison and harmony. Judgment
is based on the content of
the program and the manner of
performance.
The third class, ice dancing,
like individual skating, falls into
two catagories; compulsory and
free dancing. In the former, 20
recognized ice dances are permitted.
These are divided into
six classes of varying degrees of
difficulty with the "Gold" dances
constituting the most difficult.
Dancers are judged upon their
musical expression—timing and
interpretation; style—form and
unison; and techniques—execution
of strokes and their placement
on the ice. In contrast
to compulsory dancing, free dancing
does not have a required
sequence of steps. Its purpose
is to test the competitor's general
dancing knowledge and his
ability, as well as his originality
and inventiveness. Scoring is
based on the content of the
program, which the skaters compose
for themselves, and for the
manner of performance.
highlighting the weekend, the
Snow Ball was held at the Hotel
Sheraton. Many thanks go to
Theta Gamma.
On Sunday, Jan. 18, the Tau

birth of their first . . . a boy.
Among the various events that
are being planned by Tau Epsilon
Phi is a closed cabin party to
be held early in February.
Pledging has provided brothers
of Theta Gamma and the students
in general with many
an unexpected happening. The
brothers have found a "will-ofthe-wisp"
pledge in the elusive
"Herman Gillette" and pledges
will admit that the famous student
is the hardest man on campus
to find for his autograph.

'Bloodiest' Department
Will Receive Award
From '59 Blood Drive
The only blood crusade of this
college year will be conducted
here Wednesday, Feb. 4, by the
Rochester Regional Red Cross
Blood Center. Minimum goal for
the day's drawing is 150 pints.
To honor the department and organization
with greatest percentage
of donors, special trophies
will be presented, an Institute
representative disclosed to us
this week.
Eastman building room 125—
generally scene of forums, social
events and choir rehearsals—will
be transformed into a "field
hospital." American Red Cross
nurses and doctors will be available
from 9 to 11 a.m. and
from 1 to 4 p.m.
Last year 87 pints were collected
in the winter quarter; an
amount far below the quota,
according to Marjorie E. Kellogg
( Chem 5), chairman of the Institute's
drive.
"Response to the urgent need
for blood last year was the
poorest on record," declared
Miss Kellogg. "I earnestly hope
all students and faculty, whose
condition permits, will roll up
their sleeves next week for this
life-saving program."
Red Cross accepts blood only
from those between ages 18 and
59, and who pass a physical
given at time of donation. Permission
slips are required of
unmarried students under 21.
These slips were due earlier
this week.
"While registration is important
for an accurate estimate,
failure to do so does not bar
those eligible from giving," said
the student chairman.
Mechanical Students
Plan Chevrolet Visit
The Mechanical Department
third year students will take a
field trip Feb. 2, to Chevrolet's
Motor Plant, a Division of the
General Motors Corporation, in
Tonowanda, N. Y.
Mr. W. Hanacher of General
Motors, supervisor of education
and training, has arranged the
trip. Approximately twenty-five
students will leave via Valley
Bus Lines, accompanied by Mr.
Frederick Buehler of the Mechanical
Department.
The group will see Chevrolet's
V-8 automotive engines in ptoduction
from raw materials, automation
machinery area, and
the highlight of the tour—the
mass production foundry.
RIT Evening Division Offers
New Testing, Reading Courses
With increasing use of aptitude tests on employees and others
for work and for promotion or for "problem" reasons, need exists
for people trained in administering such exams. As the newsstands,
bookstores and libraries offer more literature, elementary
reading ability becomes less effective.
The RIT Evening Division is
aiding psychological testing procedures
and remedial reading by
giving new courses starting next
month, according to Vernon Titus
assistant director for management
and business.
"Better Reading Techniques,"
a one-semester subject organized
last summer, will be expanded
to include an advanced program
starting Feb. 2, in Eastman 132.
Those completing first semester
Former Chaplain
To Address RAA
A Religious Activities Association
Dinner will be sponsored by
the Newman Club on Sunday,
February 8.
The guest speaker will be
Father Zimmer, former chaplain
of the Newman Club at RIT.
Presently, Father Zimmer is
chaplain of the Newman Club at
Ithaca College. He was also the
guest speaker at the Newman
Club Dinner last year.
Father Zimmer attended St.
Augustine Minor and St. Bernard's
Seminary in Rochester.
While in Rochester, he also
served as assistant pastor at the
Immaculate Conception Church.
A complete spaghetti supper will
be served at the RIT Chapel
from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Tickets may
be acquired from members of
the Newman Club or purchased
at the door.
This dinner is the second in
a series of such events to be
held during the school year.
Each of the three religious organizations
on campus takes its
turn in sponsoring these dinners
reading work or those with
sufficient ability are eligible for
the new course.
Instructing remedial reading
are A. B. Herr, director of RIT
Counseling Center Reading Laboratory
and L. Robert Sanders
of General Education Department.
Mr. Herr is a former
administrative assistant at the
Reading Institute of New York
University.
"Need for improved reading is
not limited to the poor student,
but extends to those in business
and industry whose present ability
is insufficient for today's
large reading demand. Practically
all can learn to read better,"
declares Herr.
Another new course, "Psychological
Testing," will begin on
Tuesday, Feb. 3 at 8:10 p.m.
Tuition for the testing program
is $35. Reading costs $52 for a
semester.
"Those who complete Psychological
Testing should be able,
under direction, to deal more
effectively with tests, to carry
on testing and to evaluate programs,"
said Titus.
