Fire leaves students, others homeless

I Drexel students were ousted from their apartment |.Mrly
luesday morning as a fire completely gutted the Hiikliiig. The
contlagration, which was described as “an inlcriu) by Steven
Rhodeside, a senior History major in
( ollego ot Humanities and Social Sciences, destroyed
'>nc-hall ot tlie two-part Harris Hotel, located at 115-21

A ccording to Rhodeside, as soon as they got out of the
building, it went up “ like a tinderbox. I 've never seen anything

A furnace problem is blamed fo r the f ire which raged from tlie

supremacy, Drexel fraternity life, received an ominous challenge
last week when Pi Lambda Phi, right side stairway residents o f the
Court accepted three female, girl-type pledges. A new constitution,
adopted by the 60
ZT recognizcs the girls as the Delta lota Sisters o f Pi Lambda
Phi andgives the femmme members official status, but little formal
power.
The girls, juniors Debbie Edmunds and Bev Herron, and senior
Mary Alice Diehl, cannot vote in elections-just stay and voice
opinions—cannot participate in IF or National activities (no
football centers), and cannot wear the Pi Lam pledge pin. All
the
Thou shall not . . .” directives are from the National Pi Lam
office; matters not proscribed by the national office are under
local chapter jurisdiction.
“ Pi Lam is a very casual f ra te rn ity ," sta tes pledgee
Debbie Edmunds. “ I'm m ore friendly with guys than g ir ls , in
fact, I couldn't think of a close friend that is n 't a P i L am
b."
All th ree g ir ls have so ro ri ty experience and agreed with
Debbie that “ so ro ri tie s didn't do anything for them now ."
Debbie was in Delta Zeta.
“ If this p rogram (at Pi Lamb) was here when I was a freshm an,
I would never have piddled around with s o ro r i ty ," is how she
explains her broad jump.
Pi Lamb president Glenn (Omar) Smith, much heav ie r than the
dark haired Arabian version of movie fame, s a id ," The executive
board has worked for the acceptance of this program for many w eeks
."
The elected seven man executive board are : Smith, P ledgem
aster Rich Parente , V ic e -P re s i- dent Dave Bosewell, a m em
ber at large, t h e f ra te rn ity secre ta ry , t r e a s u re r
and the fra tern ity m arsha ll.
L a rry (Jose) Desiano, Co-Educational advisor and impetus of
the female pledge program , added “ We talked the idea over, all
over the house, getting opinions from the b ro thers in the house.
Most of the older b ro thers w ere afraid and skeptical, not su re
on how they would reac t (to the s ituation)."
Ten male pledgesThis te rm Pi Lam has ten guys pledging under
a
pledge policy, for m ales, initiated spring term , 1969. T here
is no hazing, no hell night, just a “ get to know the b ro th e rs
" requirem ent. T here is no black-balling, a pas t p rac tice
where any one b ro ther could elim inate a pledge.
Now, all the pledges, male and female, rem ain so until they a
re considered ready to become f ra ternity b ro thers o r s is te r
s . The vote is done on an individual basis, and is a “ positive vo
te ," accord ing to p ledge-m aster Dave Bosewell — if there is not
enough positive sentim ent among the bro thers, the p ledge 's
initiation is postponed until such time as the b ro thers feel he o
r she is ready.
A m ajor factor in the new adm issions policy stem s out of a
need to Improve the fra tern ity image, according to Desiano.
“ Both so ro ri tie s and fra te rn it ie s a re down and
need changes," is how the executive board feels about female
membership.Rejected in 1968
Female membership was rejected by the f ra ternity in a 1968
election. Times and situations havechanged and when the g ir ls
become official broth e r s , well, m em bers, they will pay
reduced dues of only $30.00 a month, including ten for their spring
weekend. The time will soon come when a g irl invites a guy to a
fra ternity spring weekend.
What happens when these g irls get pinned with the ir so ro rity
and fra tern ity pins already occupying p rim ary prominent
positions, where will she put the third?
“ Think of the possib ilit ies" - bob&carol&
ted&alice.
Neither b ro thers o r pledge s is te rs a re in terested in g
ir ls in the house, mainly because of a school policy against
co-habitation. The three g ir ls say they like their apartments,
and would not think of moving. Pi Lamb leaders said it would be the
g ir ls ' option, not for the school rule. Consequently, the one
week in the house requirem ent for all p l a g e s will be
waived.
Mary, Debbie and Bev all agreed that th e ir par^ ents didn't
seem to mind, and since they a re all over 2 1 . . . .
Even if the other f ra te rn ities on campus had open adm
issions, the three g irls would s ti ll p re fe r Pi Lam.
“ I don't know the other fra te rn it ie s that well, I've been
dating a Pi Lam for aw hile," Bev H erron said.
Administrative commentsAs fa r as the adm inistration is
concerned. A sso
ciate Dean of Students, A ssistan t Dean of Men John D elinger
said “ I don't think the adm inistration has any objections,
providing none of the by-laws, regulations, o r arrangem ents a re
contrary to existing university regulation. In fewer words: “ No g
ir ls living in the house ."
According to the g irls . P i Lam was on a downhill course two
yea rs ago, until the f ra t s ta r ted a house improvement p
rogram — “ people s ta r ted coming out of the walls to help. We've
never seen them befo re ," is how Mary explains the P i Lam
Renaissance.
The g ir ls promptly added that the second unity- inspiring fac
tor was the fem ale movement.
A fra tern ity house is not the only reason the g ir ls joined.
They felt that although a house was im portant, the people inside a
re the vital aspect of Pi Lamb. As m ost of the guys consider the
th ree g ir ls as the ir b ro thers, the pledging is only a form
ality .
“ The g ir ls have been around the house, know everybody, and
everybody knows them. This is just red tap e ," the sentim ents of
a rea l b ro ther, Jose, about his s is te r . '
Now Pi Lam, next the D rexel B a rbe r Shop?
Triangle changes elects editor-in-
policy,chief
The m e m b e r s of the TRIANGLE staff elected J im Kitch ed
itor-in -ch ief, last Tuesday, for the coming five months. The spe
cial election ended the seven month reign ofan Editorial Board
which was installed last June as an experim ent. A meeting to
change the constitution was held a n d amendments w e r e m a d e
tran sfe rr in g the leadership ro le from the Editorial Board to
an ed itor-in-chief.
All Board members will be appointed by the new chief. However,
the editor-in-chief will be responsible to t h e Editorial
Board.Commenting on present staff
m em bers, Kitch said “ they have to s ta r t caring about what
they’re d o i n g and s ta r t working to g e ther .” While
discussing the future content of the TRIANGLE, Kitch explained ‘
‘the whole paper has to pay more attention to D rexel.”
A reorganization of policies, a new approach to attracting adv e
r t ise rs and a push for more r e sponsible and researched news w
i l l make the TRIANGLE tlie paper nearly everybody reads at
Drexel.

WASHINGTON (CPS) - United States troop levels in South Vietnam
may be reduced to 200,000 men by May 1, 1971, and ground combat
troops will number 40,000, President Richard M. Nixon told 12
college journalists January 28.
This contrasts sharply with the 284,000 figure that has been
circulated within the government, and im plies a substantial
increase in the ra te of troop withdrawals.
The president denied making the rem ark , and la te r P re s s
Secretary Ron Zeigler issued a c la r i fication to the effect that
only the 40,000 figure was co rrec t.
Nixon also stated that recent a i r and ground actions taken by
U.S. fo rces around Phnom Penh were not a violation of the
Cooper-Church amendment, which prohibits U.S. ground troops and adv
ise rs in Cambodia. Troop levels in South Vietnam as of January 31
numbered 335,000, according to Pentagon sources. If the reduction
took place, it would be a substantial 135,000 between now and May
1, or more than 35 percen t of the U.S. fo rces presently in the
country.
The P resident also em phasized that the adm inistration had “
no intention" of placing ground troops in Cambodia. A ir support,
however, will be used “ only as I de term ine ." Nixon noted that
the Cambodian Army would receive a ir support if National
Liberation F ront activities endangered the withdrawl of U.S.
forces from South Vietnam (the vietnam iza- tion process), o r to
stop the flow of supplies from North to South Vietnam through
Cambodia.
Nixon's rem arks w ere made during an unexpected meeting with
college newspapers editors who w ere in Washington for a briefing
with State Departm ent officials. The editors also met for 1 and
3/4 hours with Secretary of State William Rogers.
Nixon justified the a ir support and logistical sup- port of
Cambodian troops on the grounds that he
ALL STAR-FORUM, MCE SEPTEE, Director Presents
f i r s t outlined during the announcement speech for the
Vietnamization policy on November 3 igcg u noted eight tim es since
that speech he had stated that “ if the enemy took any action that
endangered our forces, I would take ac tions to e n s u r e thp sa
fe ty " of A m erican troops.
The 40,000 combat fo rc es level is the first statement on
projected ground com batant strength issued by the P res iden
t.
The 200,000 total troop level figure has been denied by the
White H ouse. P r e s s Aide Rob Odle told C P S the P res id en t
sa id “ m ore than 200 ooo »> a reference to c u rren t troop
withdrawal projec tions. The exact 200,000 f igure has been corrob’
orated by four of the ed i to rs p resen t. If present policy is
continued, 284,000 men will remain in Vietnam on May 1.
CPS asked the P re s id e n t if the recen t Cohimbia
Broadcasting System in terv iew with a U.S. soldier who had been on
the ground in Pljnom Pelih was a violation of the C ooper-C hurch
amendment.
D om estic A dviser John E rl ich m an angrily inter- rupted
with an em phatic no.
Nixon answered, a t the continued urging of Luther Mumford of
the DAILY PRINCETONIAN, with a ten-m inute response outlining his
version of the history of U.S. involvement in Vietnam and Cam-
bodia, re fe rr in g to the d iffe rences between his and the
previous adm in istra tions. It was during these re m a rk s that
the troop level sta tem en t was made.
Apparently the adm in is tra tion had planned the nieeting of
just an in troduction between college ed ito rs and the P re s id
en t. Nixon made introducton- re m a rk s and showed copies of the
recently introl duced F edera l Budget.
If the new 40,000 ground combat figure was not m erely a mixing
up of figures during Nixon's extem poraneous com m ents, then a
substantial speed up in troop withdrawals is indicated.

ro n s tr i ic l iv e criticismI am writing this a r t ic le
in
order to express my belief that the F reshm an Physics C ourse

informed that this belief is nut unique — but that other f re s h
men have the sam e thoughts as I.
The change i n v o l v e s t h e abolishment of the one physics
lecture that all sc ience and en gineering freshm en must to le ra
te once a week. This lec tu re has proved to be a waste of tim e
for the students, in te rm s of u nderstanding physical concepts
and relationships as well as apply ing this understanding to p ra c
tical problem s. The le c tu re r e sembles a Show -and-Tell s e s

Stull linear a i r track , huge faced stop clock, b a se b a lls ,b

these “ d em o n s tra tions” that lead up to a concept or equation
which everyone has anticipated. Ideas which a r e now considered to
be “ obvious” by most freshm en, such as Newton’s Second Law of
Motion, a r e ex plained at a sn a i l ’s pace. Although this

So that I do not crit ic ize without offering a solution, I
propose that the once a week physics lec tu re be rep laced with a
re c ita tion c la s s . The physics course would then consist of
four re c ita tion c la s se s per week. This idea is very prac
tical - the F re sh man N 503 Calculus course c u r ren tly consis
ts of four recitation c la sse s per week. The additional physics
rec ita tion would facilita te the teaching of physical concepts
and relationships because of the sm a lle r , less de-hum an- izing
number of students in the c la s s , and at the sam e time would
allow for more time to solve a varie ty of p rac tica l physics
problem s. Nothing would be lost from the abolishm ent of the
lecture . “ D em onstra tions” t h a t might c larify physical laws
would be re se rv e d for the physics labo ra to ry .
I believe that the Drexel s tu dent is intellectually m ature e
n o u ^ that he should not be “ bo tt le -fed ” as an infant by the
Physics N706 “ le c tu re .” I s in ce re ly hopes that the Physics
D epartm ent agrees.
Editor, Drexel Triangle:
As a participant in the recent meeting of fre sh men engineers
with Dean Dieter, I was dismayed by the T riang le 's coverage of
the event. Considering the fact that only one-quarter of the freshm
en engineers were present, I feel that a m ore thorough account was
warranted so that those who did not attend could be informed on the
proceedings. One of the prim ary objectives of the meeting was to
explain why the curriculum was changed and its effect on the
quality of education at Drexel, a topic apparently deemed not
worthy of mention by Mr. McNair. The ultimate goal of the new
curriculum is not to make the procurem ent of an engineering degree
easie r, but ra th e r to grant the student m ore flexibility and
responsibility in determ ining the course of his undergraduate
studies.
The reporting on the question and answer period was both
inaccurate and biased. One point that the reporter(?) failed to
mention is that the students p resen t voted overwhelmingly to keep
the freshm an humanities and engineering electives on a c red it/no
cred it bas is . This resu lt is of significance when one considers
that many of the freshmen on academic probation would not have
received that status if both courses were graded in the normal m
anner. Mr. M cN air 's pronouncements on the quality of Dean D ie
te r 's replies to some questions could have been supported by some
documentation if, indeed, any could be found. I get the distinct im
pression that this journalistic ace was m ore concerned with his
pet peeves than with factual reporting.
Concerning Dean D ie te r 's alleged lack of information on the
problem s encountered by the freshm an engineer, I suggest that the
p rim ary fault
lies with the student. I do not consider m yself to be a tool of
the powers that be, as anyone acquainted with me, Including Dean D
ieter, can a ttes t to. However, to my knowledge, no form al c r it
ic ism s have been submitted concerning freshm en chem istry . One
purpose of the student adm inistration is to act as a channel for
student grievances. If the student body expects a situation to be
rectified, then it is the ir responsibility to make these
grievances known to the proper m em ber of the adm inistration.
Unfortunately the “ grapevine" does not extend to the Dean of
Engineering 's office. As the student re p re sentative on the C
urriculum Com mittee of the College of Engineering, I would be most
in terested in hearing any complaint about the curricu lum . I a s
su re all concerned that such information will reach the
appropriate m em bers of the faculty and the adm inistration. I can
be easily reached by stu dent mail and welcome all comments.
Finally, with regards to M r. M cN air 's attem pt at reporting,
I can only commend him on a noteworthy piece of yellow journalism .
It is reg re ttab le that the only fully accurate portion of his d
iatribe is the photogrs^h accompanying the a r tic le . As a
concerned student and liberal, I can only say that it is lamentable
that the libera l philos(^hy of the Triangle is apparently not
complemented by libe ra l ethic. When it com es to the point that
we m ust r e s o r t to d istortions and ha lf- tru ths to c r it
ic ize the Establishm ent, then it is obvious that we a re losing
the battle.

owls d isem bow eledWhen It took them four and one half minutes
to
s ta r t the recording of the S ta r Spangled Banner, I began to
wonder just how long it would take the Owls to extinguish the
Dragons.
I»m still wondering. - The Dragons bit, the Owls got hurt, and
even though we lost, satisfaction reigned in the Dragons’ minds as
they thought of the aggravated Temple u lcers .
Twelve hundred fans. Tem ple’s mostly, braved the cold to watch
“ weak” Drexel lead the waltz as the Owls reinforced the ir chance
for the MAC playoff.
With 1 minute and 44 seconds remaining in the f i r s t half,
the Dragons froze the ball, with the hopes of keeping the low but
com fortable Tem ple 23, Drexel 21, score intact. But an attempted
steal almost deflated the freeze attem pt and ruined the “ safe” f
re ez er trick.
The second half s ta rted briskly as the Owls clawed a ten point
lead with 8 -1 /2 minutes remaining.
by peter schaeffer
Suddenly the D ragons began to breathe, and they burned the sco
re down, as theO w ls met the Dragons at 49 all with slightly over
two minutes remaining
Mike Jones, T em ple’s supersub , broke the tie with a keyhold
jum per evening the wound, and followed by tipping a D rexel p a s
s to the Owl’s Oliie Johnson, giving Tem ple p ossess ion with a
two point lead and 57 seconds rem aining.
The Owls, following pa tte rn , instituted a freeze leading to
the Dragons fouling of Jack Kirschling who made the one and one to
topple D rexel with a four point lead.
Kirschling, not sa tisfied with only a four point lead, in
tercepted a Dragon p a s s . The Dragons fouled; the Owls sco red
only half of a one and one and D rexel’s Mike Bivins recovered ,
fed the ball to J e r r y Click. A b li tz - lik e s e r ie s of
two baskets followed, not enough to conquer the Owls, but which
left the D ragons with a respectab le loss 54-53. A loss which was
felt severe ly by the Owl hooters.

Bruce, the boy w under
Monday night was an eventful evening for Drexel hockey fans.
Dale Livingston, boy photographer and ardent hockey supporter, got
the f irs t puck of his life. The pre-junior math m ajor admitted
it was a pretty shoddy puck, but we won the game, so he wasn’t too
upset. Tl-ie game — oh, almost forgot about the game in all the
excitement — ended in sudden death with DU on the long end of a 6-5
score .
The firs t period was definitely outstanding as Bruce Wunder’s
impact and inventiveness dominated the play. During a stunning
drive toward our goal five minutes into the period, Bruce, perhaps
a bit overzealously, stopped a potential score by blocking a shot
with his eye. Twenty stitches closed the three cuts.
F or those interested, Bruce is fine, but he can’t wink. The
only other notable occurrence in the period was a two minute
penalty against Temple’s Jack Rowe for holding at 12:53. The period
ended score less.
Drexel started the second period with two quick sco res . At
1:28 into the period, Gary Jenson scored on a break-away. D rexel’s
Skip Caputo, the high sc o re r for the evening (goals, guys - not
girls) added a point at 2:23 with the assistance of Nick Serpentine
and Mark Twardzik. Temple’s Mike
by tim wagner
W echsler scored nine seconds la ter, and Bob Chmieliewski drew
a two minute penalty for high sticking. Temple’s Dan McGinn and P
at Sullivan then pushed their sco re ahead 3-2 and D rexel’s Martin
Wolf got a two minute r e s t for roughing, which is s im ila r to
a block in football, only you beat the guy with your stick. D
rexel’s final attem pt at a sco re was voided t)ecause we were off
sides.
The third period s ta rted off slowly. At 8;53 John Angelo of
Temple, unfortunately, scored. Then forthe rea l heartb reaker — D
rexel s c o re d ...........forTemple. Number six (his name J-
being withheld) passed to a su rp rised goalie (whose name also is
being withheld, but he’s big!) who kicked the puck into the net
making the score 5-2. Drexel finally scored for them selves when
Bill Mifflin put the puck past Tem ple’s goalie at 12;52. We scored
eight seconds la ter, with Skip Caputo’s goal on an as s is t from
Nick Serpentine. We evened things up (5-5) with a minute and a half
left when Herb Sweeney scored from Bob Chmieliewski and Steve
Blank* (he said to put a s ta r beside his name).
The game went into sudden death. Skip Caputo scored with an a s
s is t from Mark Twardzik at 1:42, giving D rexel the win, 6-5. It
was an exciting game| despite all the excitement.
