the tour was pro hibitive for most of the mem bers only 14 singers indicated they would be able to attend the proposed four-week tour would have included performances at paris london amsterdam and

allentown hospital dietician in planning the weekly menus not one menu is the same blew stated we have found that the stu see food page 6 it looks like there will be a lot of wrinkles to be ironed out later in the year this is certainly not the best set of rules we could get there's quite a bit of noise and confusion but i haven't heard any specific complaints howard troy head house fellow told the brown and white there was some misunderstanding concerning the placement of off limits signs outside the rooms of men on scholastic probation but it was decided at a house fel lows meeting that all freshmen regardless of academic status should have an opportunity to be contacted most counselors did not report encountering any problems most fraternity men are cooperative . . . i'm very pleased . . . no sort of a problem were among the phrases used to describe counselor reac tions freshmen although often disturbed are not par ticularly unhappy about the contacting the desire to get into a fraternity usually overrules the desire to study on any particular night if there is a problem at least one freshman has found the way to eliminate it i'm not interested in a fraternity so i go to the library on contacting nights it's sort of a rat race art rogers freshman class cabinet president stated when queried about the newly-organized fraternity contacting plan things are awfully confused i don't think there's enough time alloted for contacting one possible solu tion might be to start the contacting process at the beginning of the year offered rogers others concerned with the contacting program agreed with rogers although not as vehemently ifc president don garavanti emphasized that there was a ten minute agreement which allows contacting fra ternity members ten minutes in a freshman's room after another fraternity has knocked on the door and indicated a desire to speak it certainly is crowded but we will have to wait until the end of the contacting-rushing period to draw any final conclusions garavanti said we only have 16 contacting days before rushing the way the rules are set up this year at the end of the period we will make a study of the situation and draw more definite con clusions charles gaiser head of ifc's contacting and rush ing committee stated it's a little early to tell yet but wrestlers whip middies 14-11 at annapolis un 6-0331 bill leckonby by d l word not since the infamous day of december 7 1941 has the u.s navy suffered such disastrous reversals as they have this past week first the army beat them to the punch in launching a successful rocket secondly they failed in an attempted launching of their own satellite and finally they were defeated by lehigh's wrestling team on their home mats back in 1939 when seven of lehigh's varsity grapplers were still in the diaper stage billy sheridan's brown bombers journeyed to annapolis and defeated the naval acamedy 17j4 to 12^4 last satur day night lehigh picked up a hard won triumph over navy 14-11 on foreign shores in the interim lehigh has been wrestling navy every other year at annapolis without once coming up with a victory lehigh's hard earned victory was tempered however by injuries to bobby myers and bob gunst myers incurred a serious knee injury in his 123 pound bout and gunst al though winning handily complained of a sore rib on the long bus ride from annapolis the engineer's sixth consecutive win of the season was realized in the next to the last match of the evening as sophomore russell trip oney's great competitive spirit would not allow him to be pinned although triponey was beaten 8-1 it must be taken into con sideration that he was wrestling a man who was a head taller and outweighed him by ten pounds in fact it was rumored that volg ciicau started out the season weighing 205 pounds lehigh's chances for an easy vic tory were quickly dispelled as senior bobby myers was swamped by jim mckinney 10-3 in the open ing bout and navy's joe long held national champion joe gratto to a 2-2 draw in the 137 pound bout however hard fought wins by leon harbold dick santbro john driscoll and bobby gunst preserved victory navy's other three points came as
