ren Crow’s feat of capturing the NCAA Ccllege
ion 123. pound title at Minnesota is the most out-
accomplishment we have ever heard of a
‘State athlete achieving. Not only did Crow win all five
‘of his’ matohes, but-he also scored tv.o pins, one in the
pee against the best collegiate wrestlers inthe coun-
ry,
» This afternoon the AA Board meets to vote on whether
or not to send Crow to the NCAA University Division
Championships on March 24-26 in Ames, Iowa, We are
Confident that the Board will realize the importance of
such a positive move in sending Crow to compete there,
for to deny this champ a chance to test his own talents
against nationally reknown grapplers would be'a totally
unjustifiable action,
We should like to officially congratulate Warren on
his outstanding achievement, and, being reasonably
optimistic, wish him the best of luck on the Univer-
Suv evel. AMIA Criticism
At the beginning of first semester, AMIA partici-
pants elected four officers to run the AMIA program
for the year, And yet we found it increasingly difficult
to get statistics and standings for publication in the
ASP. Finally, through a direct appeal to the various
commissioners of the AMIA sports, we were able to
get a small amount of information.
For instance, last week we ran the standings of the
five AMIA basketball leagues for the first time all
year, and then they were still amost two weeks behind
schedule. And if it were not for commissioner Kirk
f Ellis’ efforts, we would not have had them at all,
One would think that at least one of the four officers
elected last fall would have as his responsibility the
releasing of AMIA statistics. Or is that asking too
much? We do not feel that it is up to the individual
, commissioners to relay the information to us — their
fob is to keep the league running.
Also, two weeks ago I was to have attended one of
the AMIA’s scheduled weekly meetings to explain how
‘the ASP would handle AMIA sports, I say I ‘was to
have attended’? a meeting because only two commis-
sioners and myself showed up, And this, I am told, is a
regular happening.
If the. elected AMIA officials accepted their jobs to
have something to put down on applications, question-
naires, etc., then all I have to say is — you've got a

Budgets and Needed Revenue
Approving the budgets of the various Student Asso~
ciation organizations seems to be a greater problem
than anyone anticipated, Most of the organizations
have submitted budgets equal to or surpassing the
amount they asked for Jast year.
The repercussions of this are obvious, The budget
committee will have no choice but to cut many items
from budgets even if they are ricessary.
The reason for these actions is obvious. The uncer-
tain future of student tax necessitates the curbing of
expenditures by organizations.
The obvious solution to this problem wouldbe to make
student tax compulsory, This would allow Student Asso~
ciation to know how much revenue it wouldhave to work
with,
Steps are now being taken by members of Central
Council to do this; however, it is uncertain what the
chances of them succeeding or when student tax would
become compulsory,
What is needed is other sources of revenue for Stu-
dent Association.
. oe eeneees
For the past few years athletic tax, which is levied
along with student tax, has produced a surplus of over
$50,000, One hypothesis that can be drawn from this
surplus is that the money awarded towards athletics
is not used entirely.
We would like to see an investigation of these books,
If this hypothesis is found true, we would like to see

Bad Aspects of Albany Remain
With Preservation of Good Points
by Jone Schneider
From the Broadway hit of 1950,
and Hollywood production of 1955,
“Guys and Dolls” comes the song
“The Oldest Established Perma-
nent Floating Crap Game in New
York." In it 1s the immortal line
“We've gotta have a game or we'll
die of shame.” The stage is set in
blacks, blues and purples, signify
ing the underworld,
‘At one time in Albany there was
such a shameful game that the U.S,
District Attorney made an investl-
gation of the situation in this town.
F was 1929, and Dan OPCon-
ff
* known throughout the Middle Atlantic
s and New England,
Convicted
He was convicted as the director
of the “Dummy Player Operation.’
When he had a chance to appeal,
he passed it up and instead served
1 three months sentence.
The way the “Dummy Player
Operation’ worked was this,
‘A person would buy a ticket from
a salesman, The ticket would have
five names of baseball teams on it.
At the end of the week the ticket
with the teams which had scored the
most runs would win, Now say John
Doe won $600.
‘The boys who paid off would tell
him there was another winner and
that he would have to split the
money, The second winner did not
exist, hence the dummy player,
Dan O'Connell not only sanctioned
the pool; It was the Democratic
organization's pool,

‘Save the Cave!’ Plead Cavites
As Square Tables Take Over
by Soro Kittsley
A petition on the wall of the Drayor
lunch room known as the Cave cries
out, "Save the Cave; Give us back our
cruddy old tables.” The protest 1s
due to the recent removal of the
Cave's traditional battered round
tables and the substitution of square,
forinica topped ones.
The cave is traditionally a center
of intellectual activity aud a haven
for many of the writers on campus.
Its reputation 1s probably due in part
to the influence of Bob Judd, Bob
Korosaka, and others about six years
ago.
Tt was at this ime that “suppres~
sion”? was first published by agroup
of people who frequented the Cave.
Judd, along with Ton! Mester, was
influential in stirring up a lot of
Intellectual controversy at the time,
The General Cavite reaction to
this renovation was one of general
alarm that the tradition of the Cave
would be violated, Many Cavites ob-
Jected to the stereotyping of the
Cave and felt that it would “en-
courage tourists,””
Harold Noakes, editor of the
‘Thursday’ stated, “I believe the
change from round to square tables
in the area designated as the Cave
is a less subtle attempt on the part
of the ‘squares? themselves to ce
ment the more free thinking troglo-
dytes to their unthinking faith to
the Square and prol
J, Roger Lee, former editor of
“Banner” feels that this “antisep=
tle cleanliness 1s going to blow the
image of a lot of the people around
here the ‘mage was not that dis~
tasteful.?*
‘AS a matter of fact It was quite
favorable as the center of what
Intellectual creativity there was.”
Douglas Upham of Central Coun-
feels that although the new tables
may be an improvement over the
others, the fact that sealing space
had been reduced by about six tables
presents a drawback,
An interview with Mr, Brewer,
head of the Faculty Student Asso-
ctation, concerning the reasons for
the change of tables produced a
surprising result,
Mr, Brewer explained that the
cafeteria management had decided
to clean up the Conference Room
which 18 presently used by both
students and Milne seniors, The
plan was then extended to cover the
Milne Cafeteria also.
Tt was ayparently without any
malicious intent that the men work=
ing on the cafeterias decided to put
the better of the old Milne School
tables in the Cave, thus replacing
the older ones in the Cave,
Mr. Brewer sald, on Tuesday,
March 22, that “the cafeteria man=
agement would be glad to discuss
any deep loss resulting from this
change, and we will be glad to dis.
cuss a’ bettering of the situation,’
‘A more violent reaction to the
situation took place on Wednesday,
March 23, when a group of Cavites
painted the Cave wall in protest.
Mr, Brewer visited the Cave later
in the day but declined to comment
on the situation,
