engineers lost the 118th game of lehigh-lafayette rivalry the students scored impressively with what herm kissiah dean of students at lafayette college termed excellent behavior william quay university dean of stu dents echoed kissiah's praise of student behavior as far as i could see this was the best game i've ever seen as far as behavior is concerned he said he saw no problems in the stadium although he said he had heard of scuffles after ward over stolen benches and pieces of the goalposts but he said he did not wit ness any of these incidents according to chief william cum mingham of easton police there were no ejections of spectators from the stadium during the game and only two arrests made following the game overall a great improvement since the last game lafayette hosted against lehigh the arrests of one lehigh undergraduate and one lehigh alumnus occurred as a result of the commotion caused by a disorderly group fighting over a large piece of a goal post outside the stadium on private property cummingham said in addition cummingham stated that there were no injuries to his knowledge related to the goal post struggles several factors may have contributed to the uneventful atmosphere quay said that he thought drinking was cut to a minimum by the noon starting time which reduced rowdy behavior also he said everyone from lehigh knew it was going to be a tough game and a good contest to watch i think everyone was hoping lehigh would stage a comeback and they didn't want to ruin it the two major problems expected by the administration were a repeat of the destruction of lafayette's metal fence surrounding the field and of people going for the goal posts before the end of dejected b&w photo by patty tru'p a somber engineer team

stated that no exams were to be scheduled on sunday dec 12 so that students would be able to attend church but in fact exams are scheduled for that afternoon the forum was responsible for initiating the rule prohibiting sunday morning finals according to barbara tallarico of community relations this was the first year that the forum decided to cancel sunday afternoon exams according to wagner there has been some confusion between the forum and the registrar's office there are presently no exams sche duled for sunday morning only for sunday afternoon wagner noted most students are more concerned with getting out of here than with going to church ib&w photo financial aid not available to incoming transfer students by michael frisoli due to a lack of funds the university has been unable to provide financial assistance to transfer students for the past three years according to william stanford director of financial aid stanford said there is one exception to this the l'hommedieu fund for stu dents transferring from a community college with a two-year associate degree explaining the lack of aid stanford said we prioritize our funds so our budgeting is targeted toward returning students and freshmen he said two or three aid-awards to transfer students may be made next semester and all transfer students this year will be considered as part of the body of returning students next year awards are made on an annual basis if a student was here for at least the spring semester he would be eligible for aid during the next year james mcgeady associate director of admissions said that approximately 90 transfer students have been affected by the lack of money this year but emphas ized that any student considering transferring to the university is told that no funds are available before his applica tion is filed he said that the number of transfers is down this year and explained that 17 stu dents offered admission declined to enroll due to
