L ois Chamberlin iiiiiliiill , M fUllflllUllU NEXUS has been the title of every year- book since Hofstra students began pub- lishing a permanent record of the year's activities. It is indeed a most appropriate word with which to title a college year- book, for it means the tie between the members of a group. We at Hofstra, whether we be students, faculty members or alumni, recognize this bond which has brought us together in search of advanced education, and which has made us all good friends as well as fellow students, This 1954 NEXUS, then, is dedicated to portraying not only the life at Hofstra HUFSTRA 2.

That man is Dr. Jack T. Johnson, Provost of Hofstra College. Dr. Johnson came to Hofstra during the summer of T953 from his post as Assistant Administrator for Training and Edu- cation in the Federal Civil Defense Administration. Previous to that, he served in the United States Navy during World War ll and was a member of the staff of the Department of Politi- cal Science at the University of Iowa, his home state. Most Hofstronians know Dr. Johnson by his bow tie and his infectious enthusiasm for the college and student body. He has adopted an open door policy with all the students, and they feel free to drop in for a chat with him at any time. Dr. Johnson has been at Hofstra now for almost a year, and we hope that he will remain here for many more. We sincerely wish that he is as pleased with this dedication as we are both pleased and honored to be able to present it. 0, ,, . sy, '4+fNwWwW' , L ' t.:fP1, , ,. ' .

Unknown to most Hofstronians is the fact that our President and Board of Trustees qs watch our academic, social, and athletic progress with a keen interest which helps them make the policies which have been responsible for Hofstra's large growth in its short life. Our Trustees are proud of the students at Hofstra, and their faith in the college and its future is led by our very able President John Cranford Adams.

Phil- lips Hall, Heger Hall, and The wings To Memorial Hall have risen abouT us in These four years. HofsTra no longer belongs To The small college ranks as far as enrollmenT, faculTy, and educaTional prominence are con- cerned. As seniors, we can feel proud To have had a parT in This growing process and we feel ThaT our class hisTory reflecTs This growTh paTTern. As freshmen, our STeering CommiTTee was The largesT and The mosT acTive The college had known. For The firsT Time in HofsTra hisTory, a class puT ouT iTs own newsleTTer, The Frosh Flash , To sTimulaTe class spiriT, and The Mardi Gras was a big success. As sophomores we planned and iniTiaTed a Fresh- man OrienTaTion program of sTudenT advisors for boTh The SepTember and February classes. We felT ThaT This program helped Them To become beTTer members of The college communiTy. In our iunior year noT only did The class have a hand in The Junior-Senior Prom, buT also sponsored The firsT WinTer Carnival The college ever had. This Three- day Trip To The Poconos To parTicipaTe in winTer sporfs was such a success ThaT iT has become an annual affair. This year, under The leadership of our officers, we endeavored To carry ouT a program which would add To our already wonderful memories as well as TQ The college TradiTions. 28 ROBERT KURZMAN President 1950-5'l Efll ROLF MOLLER Vice-President BARBARA FREEMAN JOAN VOIGT Secretary Treasurer 'I95'I-52 IURS 29 1 'I952-53 EUGENE G.

A near riot and an uproarious conga-line were f the most enthusiastic Freshman outstanding features o Court in Hofstra's history. Approximately half of the Freshman Class showed up in court and displayed enough pep to overwhelm the upperclass iudges who were assigned to tease the somewhat frightened freshmen. Each was then called to account for his misdeeds, and suitable punish- ments were proclaimed. The most exciting and startling moment of the t session occurred when the whole freshman assem- 'WR' 14' 64 Q' -an f lllllll ,,,o,.s cour blage, sparked by the most ambitious members, ex- ploded into a gigantic conga-line, led by Mimi Kaplan.

After two weeks of hazing by the upperclassmen, they beat the Sophomores in the annual tug-of-war and grease pole events to become an official part of the student body. As a part of this body, they furthered school -,MN a ,, N1 N..,x-MNNNN spirit by selling chrysanthemums at the Home- coming and Thanksgiving Day football games and contributing. part of their earnings to the Scholarship Fund. They added to the social life at Hofstra by holding a very successful Willie Hofstra Hop at the Bethpage Country Club in February. A new idea was put into effect by the class when they adopted Willie Hofstra I, '57, a little wooden doll, to represent their spirit of unity and organization. Officers of the class were El- wood Schuck, President, Chet Januszewski, Vice- President, Carolyn Johnson, Secretary, and Mary Jane Darmody, Treasurer. Mr. David Tilly was the class' advisor. ml llll The Sophomore Class sTarTed The year off by giving The Freshmen an official welcome in The form of a Two-week hazing period, including The Tug-of-war and greased pole evenT.

Ellllllll Elllllll Although the semester started in September for the student body as a whole, the Student Council had been working throughout the sum- mer preparing for the busy year ahead. With cooperation the keynote of the '53-'54 school year, the Student Council sponsored the Coop- eration Dinner for student leaders. This note of cooperation was further increased through- out the year by holding open meetings once a month to review the progress of each cam- pus organization. Controlling the enormously grown budget was another project of the Council and one of the most time consuming. This year they were entrusted with a larger amount of student funds than any previous council -- S35,000. shun The Council adopted many suggestions from the National Student's Association meeting which Marge Waddel and Louis Laux attended. The meeting was held in August at Ohio State University. This was the tirst time in seven years that the Student Council sent a repre- sentative to this meeting. l an r Frank Pascarelli, President, proposed a plan to revise the tenure of Gold 'Key members. This plan initiated an investigation by the Stu- dent Faculty Affairs Committee of the student government program. The Council was also particularly interested in studying the functions of coordinating bodies in the student activity program and integrating them into a more effi- cient system. As a result of this study, the Music Council was enlarged both in member- ship and duties. The Council once again augmented the Scholarship Fund by sponsoring a Fund Drive and planned the Spring Day Dance at the Hotel Commodore. By sending the band to many football games at away colleges and by encouraging pep rallies, etc., the Council stimu- 'lated school spirit to a point not reached for several years at Hofstra. , Heading the list of those deserving credit for the many achievements of the Student Council this year is Frank Pascarelli, President. He was ably assisted by Vice-President Marge Waddel, Recording Secretary, Lois Liden, Cor- responding Secretary, Ruth Richter, Treasurer, Charles Evans, and the seven other capable and industrious members of the Council. Mr. Louis Laux, alumnus of Hofstra - Class of '52 - and Director of Student Activities, served as advisor to the Student Council and assisted them in their numerous duties, both routine and extraordinary. -skills, v . ., ,ge , ,rl A 2 , 3 , 15.25 r g . 3 4 ri :. , I K . gg ,,. ,A 'Q , . ,- ,,v,f ' , IEW 5 - g M.

Since that time, its functions have been steadily increasing, and the T953-54 Gold Key successfully undertook and administered one of the most ambitious Key programs ever. The Key members made many valuable contributions to the college community during the year. The compiling and editing of the College Handbook and the Student Directory were iust two of the many services which they performed. The Key also planned and executed the Freshman Grientation program, supervised all college elections, directed the Spring Day festivities, and regulated the social calendar. In their spare time, the Key members ushered at all college functions, assemblies, and gather- ings. During the football season, the refreshment concession was manned by the Gold Key mem- bers. Approximately S35O was the net result of their efforts, and all of this money was given to the Scholarship Fund. The School Spirit Committee, with Dot Urban as its chairman, was perhaps the most active committee of the Gold Key. Bigger and better pep rallies were held this year, and ' ,fl 1 Q A.h,. V- , ,f if , , fi the Committee succeeded in stimulating more school spirit than did any other single organi- zation. The Committee instituted a School Spirit Trophy to be awarded on Spring Day to the organization which had exhibited the most school spirit during the school year. The School Spirit Committee also planned Welcome Par- ents' Day , held this year on February 28th. The Key members again served as student hosts, and departmental exhibits, teas, etc., were planned in order to acquaint the par: ents of I-lotstronians with the college and its facilities. The officers ot the Gold Key this year I I . ,.,, were Bob Dixon, Chairman, Barbara Freeman, Vice-Chairman, Joan Tscheiller, Corresponding Secretary, Cleo Harbolis, Recording Secretary, and Bob McMullen, Treasurer. Bob Beniamin, Dick Hilker, Joan Katz, Bill Lampe, Irene Marino, Margie Nlay, Fran Meyer, Gus Moller, Charlie Paul, Ann Marie Pietrowski, Neil Pike, Judie Shapiro, Dorothy Urban, and Pat Wiener com- pleted the roster ot the T953-54 Gold Key. One of the maior reasons tor the Key's success this year was Mr. Herbert D. Rosenbaum QPolitical Science Departmentj who served as the Gold Key advisor and assisted them in every way possible. l -2' lllillili llUllllll The aim of the Hofstra College Honor Board is to maintain a systemi approximating the honor system, whereby each student is responsible for his own honesty. Members of the Honor Board are to administer just punishment to those who have committed an academic dishonesty. The Honor Board consists of the Dean of Faculty, the departmental chairman, and the instructor of the course in which the offense occurred, and also those students selected to serve as representatives of the student body. Student members serving on the Honor Board this year were: Lillian McDonald, Patricia Moore and William Thieben. Dean Marcus C. Old, Dean of Fac- ulty, was the only other permanent member of the Honor Board. HONOR BOARD Left to right: William Thieben, Patricia Moore, Lillian McDonald, Dean Old. B. l. ll. Elllllllllll A prominent group in Hofstra College's student- faculty relationship is the Student Faculty Affairs Committee. The committee was formed to serve as a liason between the student body and the faculty in order to achieve cooperation and understanding between the two groups. Among its duties this year were the selection of seniors for Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges , the awarding of the activity certificates, and the election of outstanding students for the Bove- nan Society. Mr. Hopkins was Chairman of the Student Faculty Affairs Committee this year and Mrs. Attmore, Mrs. Corbin, Mr. Rosenbaum, Mr. Sellers and Mr. Yuker were the other faculty representatives.

BOARD OF GOVERNORS lllllillllllllilli lllllllll Qrganized in 1951 to institute and maintain stand- ards of good taste and professional competence for all Hofstra publications, the Publications Board is com- prised of three student members and the faculty advisors of the three publications, plus the Co-chair- man and advisor of the Photo Guild. Among the topics discussed by the Board this year were the feasibility of a new publication on campus and the re-organization of the CHRONICLE staff. The officers for the 1953-54 school year were: Carol Vickerman, Chairman, Christine Peterson, Vice- Chairman, and Secretary-Treasurer, Jessica Luttrell. Other members of the Board included Harriet Braloff, Diane Cohen, Bob Graham, Rita Landman, Stan Saw- icki, Joan See, and faculty members Mr. Enzer, Dr. Hull, Mr. Kaiser, Mr. Lazarus, Mr. Sellers, and Mr. Strauss. Honorary members were Dean Watts and Provost Jack T. Johnson. illllllll llf l3llllil1llUl1S After much planning to organize an independent student agency to correlate, operate, and regulate all student designated areas of functional and recre- ational purpose, the Board of Governors was formed in April, 1951. This, however, was the first year that the Board had been run as an agency inde- pendent of both Council and Administrational control. Projects undertaken by the Board this year in- cluded broadening student areas, improving lounge conditions, providing initial operating costs for the Photo Guild, regulation of the new Rathskeller, and selling of magazine subscriptions. Serving on the Board for the year were Mr. Louis Laux, Chairman, Morris Rosen, Treasurer, Jean- nine Kilkelly, Secretary, Barbara Freeman, Bob Kurz- man, Steve Darby, Carol Koster, and Mr. Perkins of the Plant Department.

And on Fridays, all faces in the Main Loun ' ge and cafeteria would be hidden behind the printed pages of the Hofstra CHRONICLE, news organ which weekly published the most current of carripus events, features, 'sizzling edit- orials, and hot exposes '. . . ' Under the competent leadership of Christine Peterson, Editor-in-Chief, Robert Graham, Busi- ness Manager, and Harriet Braloff, Managing Editor, the editorial and general staffs of the paper functioned again as the principal means of on-campus dissemination of news. Ilene Anenberg, Robert Gross, Roberta Hahn, Mary Root, William Steinbicker, Richard Van Laven, Pat ' ricia Wiener, and Robert Zawasky made up the Editorial Board, while Ronald Bin- day, Dorothy Finger, Nancy Fried, Valerie Shul- man, and August Schwenk comprised the Board of Business Managers. This year was to prove the last in which the CHRONICLE was to change editors at mid-semes- ter. In November, the Student Council passed a CHRONICLE reorganization plan approved pre- viously by the Publications Board. The plan pro- vided for year terms for editors, and established the position of Advisory Editor whose function would be to assist and advise the Freshman staff. The purpose of the new tenure system was to improve the paper by providing for greater con- tinuit d ' ' y an organization throughout the school year.

Activities and Features Staff Business Staff lllf ll5ll llflll The motto of the NEXUS staff this year was Let's make this the best yearbook ever! Whether or not this goal was achieved is for you to decide, but the staff members and editors really tried their best to make that wish come true. CAROL VICKERMAN Editor-in-Chief 96 The 1954 NEXUS was begun last March, after the 1953 yearbook had been sent to the publisher for printing. During the summer the editors met frequent- ly with the publishers, Bradbury, Sayles, 8. O'Neill, Inc., to plan the book, from layout all the way down to procedures to be followed for tagging pictures, etc. Everything was clearly organized by the first day of school, and the editors and staff members started into action without delay. Carol Vickerman, Editor-in-chief of the 1954 NEXUS, was tempted many times to set up living quarters in the NEXUS office, for she spent many hours there and at home each week preparing the book for pub- lication. Carol organized and directed the work of the yearbook very efficiently and tried, in every way pos- sible, to have all the members of the staff included in conferences about layout, covers, etc. Joan See, Managing Editor, was the right-hand man who took care of club pictures, typed copy, kept the supplies up-to-date and was a good lack of all trades . The yearbook would never have been published if it had not been for Diane Cohen Yaris and Jim Head, Business Manager and Advertising Manager, respec- tively. Diane followed all the activities of the editorial staff very closely and made sure that all ideas were within the budget. Jim and his staff pushed doorbells and sent letters to several hundred businesses in the area inviting them to place an ad in the NEXUS. lt 4-P' DIANE COHEN YARIS Business Manager JOAN SEE Managing Editor Mr, K was his work that enabled the use of color in certain sections of the book. Both Diane and Jim were just as interested in the layout of the yearbook as well as the financial end, and they contributed many worthwhile ideas which have made the NEXUS a better publica- tion. The Poverty Ball also was handled by the Busi- ness Staff, and this year's was even better than the 1953 dance. lt goes without saying that if it hadn't been for our faithful and enthusiastic advisors, Mr. William Kaiser and Mr. Felix Strauss, the 1954 NEXUS would have remained a dream instead of becoming a reality. a Clubs Staff ,Ser and Mr Sf,a U33 Our Photo Editor in the Darkroom Seniof Sf aff 0' 2 .

DOROTHY URBAN Honor Fraternities Editor JIM HEAD Advertising Manager Organization was the key to the success of the NEXUS this year, and this organization of work required capable section editors and staff members.

Janith Slain, Art Editor, not only directed a capable staff, but did a great deal of the work herself. Each piece of art work submitted was beyond criticism and was completely suitable for publication as sub- mitted. The difficult task of preparing the fraternity section fell to three people, Betty Fay, Dot Urban, and Ray Clements. Dottie had to collect informa- tion about the Honor Fraternities and then ar- range it into informative and interesting articles. TOO TED CAPLA itii ARTHUR SCHWARTZ Photo Editor Ray did the same for the social fraternities, and Betty, for the sororities. Each of these editors performed the jobs efficiently and volunteered consistently to help with other parts of the book. Eleanor Lachenmayr and Juanita Hampton, Editors of Activities and Clubs respectively, worked diligently to turn in copy on all the or- ganizations on campus falling into those cate- gories. Each had on her staff people who took a sincere interest in the NEXUS and who were anxious to see this yearbook be outstanding among previous and future NEXI. The Senior Class at times made life very hectic for Senior Editor, Lenore Roht, but as you can see, everything turned out well under her effi- cient direction. Ted Caplan and Lois Chamberlin provided the Sports Editor, Men NEXUS with some of the best sports copy ever included in the book. Ted and Lois seemed to have that special flair for writing good sports articles, and the NEXUS was lucky to have them as Sports' Editors. This book was printed by a process called offset printing, and one of the major require- ments of this process is sharp and clear pictures. MMR LENORE ROHT Senior Editor LOIS CHAMBERLIN Sports Editor, Women This is iust what we received through the efforts of Artie Schwartz, our Photo Editor. The Photo Guild performed a great service, but Artie was indispensable as an organizer and judge of good pictures. Special credits are to be given to Artie for the picture of the ship on page one of this yearbook and also to Ronald Thomson for the photograph of Hofstra Hall on page 7. Thus, through the combined efforts of editors and staff members, the 1954 NEXUS is in your hands right now. We hope you are enioying it!

V., The WORD, which returned this Spring to its original function as the campus literary maga- zine, publishes poetry, short stories, and articles written by students. The Editor this year was Jessica Luttrell and assisting her were Rita Land- man, Associate Editor, and Skip Sarsfield and Stan Sawicki, Business Managers. Dr. William Hull was once again advisor to the organization along with Mr. Harold Lazarus, recently selected as Business Advisor. The WORD published three issues this year and was entirely the work of the students, with the exception of occasional guest articles by fac- ulty members. All students were encouraged to submit manuscripts for consideration, and the WORD office was often the scene of conferences at which these were discussed. Five prizes were offered for the best work printed in the magazine this year: a prize of S30 for the best story, S20 each for the best poem and the'best article, and 515 for both the best illustration and a second prize in poetry. iiiiis iseiiiiiiiii w The Theatre Arts Association is the overall or- ganization of the various theatrical groups on Hofstra's campus. it guides the two independent groups, the Green Wig and the Kaleidoscopians and includes the Theatre Workshop. The Associa- tion is made up of representatives of the faculty, the administration, and the student body. The Green Wig presents to Hofstra College fine theatrical productions throughout the school year which give students an opportunity to de- velop their talents and also provide entertain- ment for the community. Their main attraction each year is the annual Shakespeare Festival staged in the Spring. The Kaleidoscopians is a variety group which produces musical shows, reviews, and variety shows, many of which are original works by students at the college. The Theatre Workshop gives those students in- terested in the theatre a chance to gain experi- ence. lt produces experimental work including original one-act plays. Alpha Psi Omega is the National Dramatic Honor Fraternity. The Mu Psi Chapter at Hofstra each year elects those students who excel in drama as members of the group. Among those on the advisory board to the Theatre Arts Association this year were: Mr. Beck- erman, Green Wig Advisor, Mr. Lee, Kaleids Ad- visor, Dr. Short, Chairman of the English Dept., Ed Lynch, President of the Green Wig, and .loan See, Prexy of the Kaleids. :tfmg Neff to rightj: Mr. Beckerman, J.

So many students fall happily prey to that in- effable magnetism of the stage, both back and front, that it is not at all surprising to find a large number of bleary-eyed, weak-kneed, yet magnificently cooperative individuals meander- ing about campus, before, during and after every production. There is a place for everyone in some phase of the Green Wig's fast moving existence, and it is a generally recognized fact that a Wigger's life is never, never dull .

Under the direction of President, Joan See and Advisor, V. Jack Lee, the Kaleids presented an annual musi- cal comedy show which proved that There's no business like show business. The Kaleids always make the world of make- believe seem very real on stage, while backstage experiences are just short of incredible in their warmth and jovial good fellowship. All carpen- ters, painters, seamstresses and make-up artists will surely find themselves at home in this group. This year they took their musically comical talents into another field of endeavor, the nite club floor show business. Although it is only in an early stage of development, the new show promises to be a great success in the future. ' 5 ' - K, F a 'af 'P 4 , yi- R 5. W N wif' My 'I Q' X -L NYE? Q Q w E?

However, they are never too busy to put another show on the road. As much as they might talk about not reading for this next show , they always manage either to get a part or volunteer for a job backstage. Into this busy schedule, they again found the time and energy to put a Drama Majors Show. The accent in drama at Hofstra this year was upon comedy, and this show continued the cycle. The production of Moliere's Doctor In Spite of Himself proved to be not only exceptionally llll llllllllll lll Sllll lf lllllliill funny but also a success as a theatrical experi- ment. Costumes, make-up, and the method of presentation were as close to the original as possible. The play was an excellent companion piece for the folk opera DARLING CORIE, with which it shared the bill. Most of Hofstra's well-known thespians were among the cast which gave an outstanding per- formance. They were: Bernice McLaughlin as the wife, Walter Thomson as the Doctor, Pat Buttice as the patient, and Ray Graf as the irate father. The director of this production was Virgil J. Lee of the Drama Department. K 'Xxx N Y l 112 Ulllll1lll3. Starting off the new year with an uproarious melodrama, the Green Wig presented THE DRUNKARD, on the nights of October 30, Octo- ber 31, and November 1, 1953. The play was directed by Mr. Donald Swinney, and it was the first play he had directed since coming to Hof- stra three years ago. With Mr. Swinney directing the play, Barry Schiller designed and supervised the painting of the backdrops that formed most of the setting. The cast was headed by a fallen hero, Ed Lynch, a villain, Walter Thomson, and a suffering wife, Bernice McLaughlin. The play centered about the efforts of the villain to lead the hero into evil ways, and the attempts made by the hero's wife and his foster brother to lead him away from his misfortunes. The foster brother was portrayed by Dan Ingram. Included in the cast were such new faces as Dots Liebman, Jock Livingston, Alec Koss, and Flo Hawkins. The cast also included such old favorites as Ray Graf, Joan See, Ed Coti, and Jessie Bein. The result of the superb acting and the laborious stagework plus some very colorful costumes was the alteration of a serious social problem into a hilarious comedy on Calkins stage. The production also featured a Barbershop Quartet and a Soubrette singing gay nineties songs. The School Spirit Committee enhanced the opening night by sponsoring a dance, On the Wagon , which was held in Memorial Hall di- rectly following the closing curtain. led VY, Uv nik A, x.

This year they again gave Hofstra a first -- the production of the Shaw Festival featur- ing HEARTBREAK HOUSE. The play itself was directed by Bernard Beckerman and the sets were designed by Donald Swinney. The characters in the script are a fine mixture of the comic and the tragic, and the cast turned in excellent in- terpretations of the difficult roles. Ray Graf played one of the leads, Captain Shotover. Bernice McLaughlin shared the spotlight as Hesione Hushabye, and newcomer, Margie Lugo completed the trio of starring players. The cast also featured Joan See, Jamil Zak- ki, Ed Lynch, and Walter Thomson. In coniunction with the play, Friday at Four presented a dramatic reading of Shaw's CANDIDA, and Mr. Dan Laurence secured material for a display dealing with the life and works of G. B. Shaw. The Theatre Arts Association also presented a lecture by the director of OMNIBUS who discussed the problems of adapting Shaw to television. The Green Wig and Theatre Arts Associa- tion had done it again, and Shaw has come to Hofstra to stay. 'VV X xn- Qdfie 1 :Mow mx-1 ex 11 ,--.

Their interests range from Palestrina and early church music to Bela Bartok and Aaron Copland. This group endeavors to encourage musician- ship and the reading of music in order to famil- iarize members with tone, blend, and quality. The Hofstra Singers often entertained at such school functions as teas, dinners, and receptions neld this year. They were frequently invited to perform off campus by local organizations. The Singers have also made several recordings which have been heard on radio station WHLl. Membership in this group is attained by in- vitation, and the ensemble, therefore, is com- posed of the best vocalists on the Hofstra cam- pus.

The orchestra, in addition to giving programs which included standard concert repetoire, was also dedicated this year to forwarding the cause of music by commissioning composers to write selections for it. Mr. Tepper, who was appointed Chairman of the Music Department at the start of the Spring Semester, was commissioned to write a Concertino for Piano and Orchestra to be per- formed at the Spring Concert. The orchestra presented its first concert of the year on December ll, featuring the performance of John Corigliano, eminent violinist. The orches- tra numbered approximately 70 members this year, and perhaps the most outstanding program in which they appeared was the world premiere of a new American opera, Darling Corie , writ- ten by Elie Siegmeister and Lewis Allen. The Music Educators National Conference, more commonly referred to as MENC, is a spe- cialized branch of the National Education Asso- ciation which encourages students working for a B.S. in Music Education and helps to make them aware ot problems and advancements in that realm of teaching. Having previously functioned without a consti- tution, MENC was chartered in 1952, making it a comparatively new organization on campus. Membership this year entitled students to attend national and regional conferences and monthly meetings of the Hofstra chapter which featured films, speakers, and discussion of proiects.

It sponsored as its maior event the Big Sister-Little Sister Program which enabled incoming freshmen and transfer women to become acquainted with other under- graduate women and college life. During the summer, upperclassmen corresponded with new freshmen in order to help them solve any prob- lems and to answer any questions which might have arisen concerning their new life at college. The annual Big Sister-Little Sister tea was held in the Fall, and this year the program was enlarged to include a fashion show and a meeting to in- troduce freshmen women to campus activities. Other projects this year included a reception for the new faculty, a dinner for faculty women and, of course, the gay annual All College Christmas Party with Dean Watts acting as Hofstra's Santa Claus . At Christmas time the society purchased gifts for the elderly women's ward of the Central Islip Mental Institution. The glamorous work of the soci ing the Spring Day festivities when the Kate Mason Board conducted ety came dur- the election of the Spring Day Queen, her attendants and the Daisy Chain.

Conceived in the Fall of l947, the group aims to mold mature comradeship and to construct healthy social attitudes within itself and the College. Traditionally a small group, Pipe and Bowl numbered approximately I5 men this year. The recently amended constitution, however, allows for an eventual membership of 40. Students who pledged P 81 B ,were not subiected to hazing as part of the initiation procedure. i Pipe and Bowl occupied an important position in the college community during i953-54. So- cially, it sponsored frequent beer parties and small social gatherings. Scholastically, it main- tained its position at the top of the fraternity ranks. The Pipe and Bowl Forum on Campus and World Affairs was a feature presentation of Hof- stra's radio station, WHCH. Last year, Pipe ancl Bowl was co-sponsor of the Harvard-Radcliffe Concert, an outstanding cultural event that will be long remembered.

During pledging, the SAS pledges may be seen wearing top hats and carrying long paddles.- Throughout this year, the brothers have engaged in many activities, both social and charitable. The After-Theatre-Beer Parties were once again tremendously popular, and the annual Sweet- heart Dance was the highlight of the fraternity's social events. In the Fall, an Alumni Homecoming Party, and in the Spring, a Senior Dinner, added to an already full calendar. Tutoring was also a function performzed by the SAS brothers, and it was one which brought them community-wide recognition.

Hofstra defeats Bridge- port University 2l-6 in the season's opener. The School Spirit Committee sponsored a giant pre- game pep rally, for which all classes were sus- pended. The festivities included a spaghetti din- ner in the cafeteria and a huge bon fire in park- ing field I at 6:45 p.m. Fuel was supplied for the fire by new Freshmen students under pen- alty of death by the Frosh Hazing Committee. The Dutchmen really got rolling in the second half of the game as Quarterback Jack Plunkett teamed with Tom Nunziata, Don Rini, and Bill Sanford to eat up yardage. Plunkett passed to C iff Coughlin for two touchdowns, and it was obvious at this point that the Freeport slingshot was off to another fine season. Speedy Don Rini bucked over from the three for the last score. Plunkett split the uprights for all three conver- sions. Coach Howdy Myers was not elated over the results of the opener, due to a leg injury to Little All-American guard Joe Masone which ter- minated his activity for the year. ' 7 'L', f .

Backfield Coach Joe Gianelli's scouting report about Bates was very accurate as he predicted a tight, even con- test, while adding that Bates' triple threat back Bob Chumbook must be stopped. Ace halfback Bill Sanford received a cracked rib in the ST. Lawrence game, and he was hindered consider- ably by This iniury. FLASH . . . Oct. l7 . . . Hofstra romps over Wilkes College aT Wilkes-Barre, Pa., by a score of 39-20. Bill Sanford, showing his i952 forrn, paced the Dutchmen to their third victory. On The sixth play of the game, Sanford returned a Wilkes' punt 80 yards behind some beautiful blocking for a touchdown. Tom Nunziata also scored once and gained a Total of l2O yards in ll tries. Cliff Coughlin, George Kandiloros, and Jack Plunkett also reached pay dirt for The Myermen. Hofstra gained four times as much yardage as Wilkes. Jack Plunkett, Throwing his famous needle passes, completed 7 out of 14 passes for lO2 yards. At this point, it was ob- vious that all pre-season kinks were eliminated, and the Dutchmen were now functioning as a well drilled unit. The Dutchmen wanted to beat Rhode lsland and Howdy Myers made the team think of nothing else but beating Rhode Island. wg- Hill, L-.vs-aka A ,.,,f .-' 1 1 ti ,V xi - - ,,, , ,b, , ,, ,,, , FLASH . . .

The boys really wanted this one, but how they did it, we'll never know. Tom Nunziata, Jack Plunkett, Jack Fahey, and Bill Sanford played like their lives were in danger if they lost. Jack Plunkett could not miss a pass, and ends Lorel Teolis and Cliff Coughlin couldn't drop one. The Dutchmen com- pletely dominated the play during the first half as Tom Nunziata and Bill Sanford picked up touchdowns.

The high flying gridders of Howdy Myers were held back by 120 yards in penalties in the roughest game this editor has ever witnessed. Cortland was penalized ll2 yards, making the game very dull for the spectators fEditor's Notel. lt was noted that Hofstra was well represented in the stands, perhaps the largest away crowd Cother than the Kings Point fraysl. The contest was the Cortland Homecoming, and they made every attempt to win, but the officials were having too much fun blowing their whistles.

This was the third straight win in the series for the Dutch- men, and marked the first time in Dutch grid history that the team was able to win five straight games. Nunziata took Frank Rack's opening kickoff, fumbled it, picked it up on his own ten yard line, faked a reverse to Bill San- ford, and then took off on a 90-yard non-stop touchdown run. Tom also scored on a beautiful 56 yard touchdown run in the third period. Jack Plunkett began pitching in the fourth quar- ter with tosses to Cliff Coughlin and Lorel Teolis and a T.D. toss to Sanford who made a sensa- tional diving catch in the end zone. FLASH . . . Nov. T3 . . . Dutchmen stunned by Upsala at East Orange, N. J., on a 20 yard field goal in the last seconds of the game. Hof- stra took the lead in the opening minutes of play as Co-Captain Jack Plunkett bucked over from the three yard line. Pete Damone, filling in admirably for iniured Joe Masone, continued his outstanding line play, playing alongside Co- Captain Fred Ludwig. Both Fred and Pete re- covered Upsala fumbles, which led to Hofstra scores. One of Jack Plunkett's passes intended for Bill Sanford was deflected into the hands of Bill Bleier in the end zone for a touchdown. At first it was thought that end Lorel Teolis had caught the deflected pass, but after the game it was disclosed that Bleier had caught the ball. FLASH . . . Nov. 26 . . . Turkey Day - A dark day for all Dutch grid enthusiasts. Hofstra is de- feated by Scranton U. 20-6 in a game that was a lot closer than the score would indicate. The Dutchmen's high powered offense could not get moving against the stubborn Scranton forward wall, Scranton scored in the first period on a fifteen yard pass play, and it marked the first time Hofstra had allowed a touchdown via the airways during the season. Tom Lavery, Scranton scat-back, was the big thorn against the Dutch- men as he scored two touchdowns and passed for a third. Hofstra's only bright spot was a shocking 90 yard run by ace sprinter Don Rini with less than one minute before the game ended. Rini was tackled on the two yard line, but workhorse Tom Nunziata bulled over for the Dutchmen's only score. The P.A.T. was blocked, and the game and the season ended.

The Dutchmen started off on the right foot as They nipped highly touted Yale University by two points, 80-78. Howard Hobson's Yale cagers were favored to win easily over the Dutchmen on the basis of past performances. A packed house was treated to some terrific basketball, as Bill Babe Thieben and Whitey Szelc paced the club to its initial victory. A victory over Roanoke fVa.D was dampened by a severe blow to the Dutchmen as ace re- bounder Joe Olsen suffered a broken foot. A strong Gettysburg had too many guns for our young sophomore-studded squad, as they took us into camp by a score of 85-65. Our Dutchmen rebounded from this setback by taking a strong West Chester club into the victory column. As far as Dutchmen fans are concerned, the ball game with Manhattan should never have taken place. The Jaspers romped over the Dutch boys by a score of 98-64.

Bob DeGroff sustained his first setback of the season by losing to Sam Cario of Cortland in a very thrilling match. Pete Damone put up an excellent showing in losses to Bob Sherry of Columbia and Tough Tony Putorti of Waynes- burg. Bob DeGroff impressed with a good vic- tory over Frank Hirt of Michigan in one of his many fine performances. Perhaps the outstanding victory of the season came when the Dutchmen defeated highly rated Gettysburg by a score of 20-l2. Gettysburg was the defending Middle Atlantic Wrestling Champ- ions. Coach Stone was sorry to see his squad lose to Michigan State, as the Staters represented Brick's Alma-Mater. The defeat wasn't looked upon as being bad, inasmuch as Michigan is the Western Conference Wrestling Champion. The wrestling prospects for next season look very bright as several outstanding Frosh per- formers will be moving up to the Varsity Squad. The Freshman mat team turned in a sensational 7 and 1 record.

W ,iw Hofstra was sparked by the brilliant pitching of Billy Sanford and the red-hot slugging of first baseman Bob Baratta. Bill Sanford became Hof- stra's first IO game winner, while also tacking up a 5-2 conference record. Bob Bugs Vogel placed seventh in conference pitching with a 2-2 record. Bob Baratta, playing his first year of varsity ball, was the second best hitter in the conference in compiling' a torrid 400 batting average. Bob DeStefano turned in a good job at the hot corner and managed to bat .309, mak- him the 8th top hitter in the conference. The Dutchmen as a team led the Metropolitan Conference in batting, but they were not as strong afield, placing fifth in this vital depart- ment. Coach Smith points out the game against Williams College as one of the best played games he has ever witnessed during his sixteen year tenure as Hofstra's Baseball Coach. Coach Smith said, The boys played like professionals that day in white-washing Williams 9-O . Captain Gus Drivas rated an Honorable Men- tion berth on the All-Metropolitan Baseball Team for the fine iob he did as a Dutchman outfielder during his senior year. Bill Sanford lust missed making the top 3 pitchers who make up the first All-Met pitching squad, but he also rated an Honorable Mention position. Hofstra was able to defeat St. John's twice, a feat that is not duplicated too often, as the Dutchmen finished in a tie for third place in the Metropolitan Baseball Conference. 2 N .- 1 e fx viii -yiufff 'I79 iiiiiiisgi x 'illn- The high flying Dutch Stickmen turned in an excellent season record of ll victories as against three setbacks. Hofstras' Lacrosse team was voted the most improved team in the nation in l953 . Coach Howdy Myers has steadily increased the calibre of the competition that his lacrosse club faces by bringing top-flight clubs onto the Duchmen's already difficult schedule. The Dutchmen defeated the Philadelphia La- crosse Club U2-3J, Washington College U0-8J, Tufts U9-41, Delaware U9-OJ, Union College C20- IU, Cortland U0-29, City College C25-ll, Balti- more University C5-41, Trinity Q20-U, Williams Col- lege K4-37, and the Milburn Lacrosse Club U7-43. The three setbacks were at the hands of the vaunted Mt. Washington Lacrosse Club, com- posed of many former collegiate All-Americans, Dartmouth, and Yale. Joe Masone was second in the nation in total assists, and he was a sterling performer throughout the season. Alex Fedoroff and Jerry Simandl both broke Owen Walsh's scoring record set in 1952. Alex, alias the Fish , scored 34 goals, one more than Jerry, to pace the club in scoring. Both of these scoring demons will be back this year to haunt the opposition.

Dick Klein, Dan Stix, and Bill Katz were all undefeated in league competition. Niel Pike captained the team to its brilliant season, playing the number one man while post- ing a strong 7-2 record. The team's only setback came at the hands of their arch nemesis, Kings Point, 5-4 in a very close match. Dick Klein won the Consolation Round of the Ryder Invitational Tournament at 'Ryder, New Jersey. Mike Fierman, Hofstra's number two man, lost out in the semi-finals to the tourna- ment's number one seeded player. This was Coach Lynner's first year as tennis coach at Hofstra, and he can well be proud of this fine season. ff X N'-X X X T'-l x Once again the fighting spirit of the Dutch- men's 1953 Golf Team was a vital factor in the linksmen compiling an undefeated season of nine wins. Coach Dick Gordon's hackers were shooting around the low 80's while taking matches from Manhattan, St. John's, Stevens, Queens, and City College. Jim Morris, in the third position, Paul Gavin C41 and Ronald Gold C51 were all undefeated as the Dutchmen took four away and five home games in stride. John Murphy, playing number one, Ted Knapp 121, and Bob Campbell, playing in the sixth position, rounded out a strong club.

Charlie Frizelle had but one loss in the 440, and that was to the late Frank Nichols. The death of Frank Nichols, holder of Hofstra's 440 record, and potentially the finest runner in Dutch track history, came as a severe shock to the entire student body.

The team's superiority over their competition is evident from a comparison of the scores. Hofstra chalked up the impressive total of thirty goals, while only eight were scored against them dur- ing the season. The two losses were at the hands of Panzer, a traditional rival. In the opinion of Coach Muriel Bach, however, the Dutch maids turned in one of their outstanding performances in the second meeting. The girls put up a hard fight before re- linquishing a 3-2 win to Panzer. High scorer this season, as well as last, was center forward Dorsey Myers, who tallied eleven points. She also captured the honors for the most goals in a single game, scoring six against Briar- cliff College. Left inner, Fran DiSilvestro, was not far behind with her record of eight points for the year. Linemen Graceann Nulty, Joy Schuck, Judy Scanlan, and Mary Tietien also contributed goals, while in a more unorthodox manner, center half Joan Kent made a goal in two separate games.

Rader, J. Schuck, G. Mayer, Miss Goess. Despite an unimpressive record of eight de- feats and only one win, Coach Mary Goess has due cause to be proud of her Varsity Basketball squad. The ledger appears more favorable in the light of the fact that two of the losses, to N.Y.U. and C.C.N.Y., were by a slim two point margin. Co-captains Marilyn Sweet and Judy Scanlan con- tributed most of the team's baskets. Marilyn was the high scorer for the second consecutive year. Relying heavily on a hook shot she tallied thirty- one points in the game against Rider. The team was further sparked by the speed and spirit of Fran DiSilvestro. Although she was not an im- pressive scorer, Fran could always be counted upon to set up successful plays and to completely confuse guards. Visiting forwards encountered trouble in the form of Varsity guards. Joy Schuck was out- standing in rebounding, while together with Carole Mischler, she excelled in intercepting passes. The Jayvees had their most successful season since the team's organization. After two initial defeats they went on to win their six remain- ing games. ln the scoring department Bev Mc- Donnell was the. top, closely followed by Joan McCarthy. Although there were only five vet- erans on the twelve man squad, the play was marked by a show of spirit that proved over- powering to opponents. JUNIOR VARSITY First row fleft to righti: J.

Convocation to a Metropolitan wide audience and the relay of the major sports events, among them the Yale, Manhattan, and CCNY basketball games, the station has won the acclaim of college officials and that of professional radio stations. With permanent studios in the Little Theatre building and forthcoming membership in the ln- tercollegiate Broadcasting System, it offers a chance for experimentation in all the allied fields of radio, including announcing, production of dramas and special events, and a host of other opportunities that can be utilized in future occu- pations and hobbies. To further these aims the station has been instrumental in forming a Radio-TV Workshop under the directilon of Mr. Virgil J. Lee, to sup- plement the station production department's ex- panded activities. WHCH, Hofstra's radio station operating on a frequency of 640 kc., has rapidly become one of the largest activities on campus since its founding in l95O. Via its outstanding produc- tions such as the broadcasts of the 1953 Fall Included in the outstanding events covered by WHCH were exclusive interviews with General Matthew B. Ridgway, Bernard M. Baruch, Robert Moses, R.O.T.C. Night Review, the Music Depart- ment's Christmas Concert, the Army Field March- ing Band from Washington, D. C., the Winter Carnival at Jug End Barn, Welcome Parents Day, the Shakespeare Festival, and the graduation ex- ercises. These many events have inspired the creation ot the Hotstra Album, in which the out- standing activities ot the school year are col- lected tor preservation and re-broadcast over pro- fessional stations at later dates. On the Board ot Directors this year were: Ed Kuhnel, Station Manager, Gerry Goldberg, Pro- duction Manager, Norm Hosler, Chief Engineer, Gladyce Turner, Business Manager, Bob Zaw- asky, Sports Director, Bill Burkhardt, Director ot News and Public Affairs, Don Chichester, Record Librarian, and Mr. George W, Headley, Advisor. fi' -1 0 ' .F I 'rj 4 1 JA '74 f X . , .. , If N , ,,,1 A, 45' N fj ln. 15111 .

Through the Council, common prob- lems are solved and funds are made available for the planning of better and more extensive programs. As a further step in its program of extending student relations, this year the Council originated Club Night. In an effort to have people get to know each other socially, every Friday evening informal gatherings were held in the Main Lounge of Memorial Hall. Cards, checkers, and chess were supplied for those interested and a band supplied music for those who wished to dance. Planned entertainment, such as the Faculty Variety Show, was also designed for the students' pleasure. Representatives from the various campus or- ganizations comprised the Council's Membership. Officers for the past year were: Judy Scanlan, Chairman, Ronnie Binday, Vice-Chairman, Carol Koster, Treasurer, Lorraine Cole, Recording Secre- tary, and Roberta Sands, Corresponding Secre- tary. Ng'-as .... f K L if rf , lllllllllllllll Ellll Hofstra's Accounting Club is one of the many organizations devoted to the student interested in a particular field. ln order to give accounting maiors an opportunity to gain some practical, outside knowledge of their profession, this group invited several lecturers to talk with them and discuss and examine the current topics associated with business and accounting. Among the speak- ers were those who advised the students on the procedures for applying for positions in their chosen occupations and some alumni who re- turned to recount their experiences in accounting positions since graduation from Hofstra. This year's officers of the Accounting Club were: Henry Acquaotta, President, John Hanlon, Vice-President, John Logan, Secretary, and Ken Lassig, Treasurer. Mr. H. Fogg was the faculty advisor for the group. SAM Sitting fleft to rightl: S. Goldstein, M. DuBroff, H. Blower, R. Benja- min, N. Dahl. Standing: J. Goel- ler, l. Kamen, C. Morey, R. Bet- tendorf, S.

In its function as an active chapter of this group, the Hofstra S.A.M. was continually engaged in exchanging management information and know- how with other chapters through newsletters, round tables, plant visits, and special study groups. As an individual unit, it sponsored local field trips, lectures by prominent businessmen, and discussions pertaining to the management field. The year's activities culminated in an an- nual dinner held in the early part of June.

Its aim is to present informa- tion concerning medical schools, new develop- ments in medicine and related topics and prob- lems. During the year, the group undertook an am- bitious and interesting program, including sev- eral field trips. These trips consisted of watching autopsies and operations which the members themselves might be called upon someday to perform. Occasional speakers and films were also an important part of their busy program. The officers for 1953-54 were Martin Smith, President, Robert Israel, Vice-President, Sheila Friedman, Treasurer, Else Dalby, Secretary, and Dr. Ernest Rennebaum, the Society's advisor.

With John Francis as President, Don Bracken as Vice-President, Ed Vollmer as Trea- surer, and Marge Riley as Secretary, the Chemis- try Club conducted field trips, arranged social and informative meetings and planned a well-rounded program of discussion groups and movies. One of the most important activities of the Chemistry Club is Science at Four . Science at Four presented a variety of topics ranging from Biology to Mathematics in its program this year. At bi-mionthly meeting's speakers were: Dr. Luke, Mr. Strauss, Dr. Warren, Mrs. Attmore, Mr. Haw- thorne, Mr. Noss, and Dr. Wald. The topics were of general interest and appeal to everyone. flllllll lil lllll lnformality has always been the keynote of Friday at Four. Relaxed in easy chairs and sipping coffee, both the students and the faculty hear readings of interesting and significant works of art and literature. After the presentations, the group always participates in discussions of the humanities. At the time of its origin, the club decided to meet on Friday at four o'clock for a definite pur- pose, namely, to encourage the student body to remain on campus in the afternoon. In this FRIDAY AT FOUR man. way, students have been given an opportunity to socialize and have more campus life . Ac- cording to Dr. Ruth M. Stauffer, the advisor of Friday at Four, not one meeting has been can- celled since the club originated four years ago. The theme of this year's series of discussions was Love in Literature , from the Song of iSongs through Plato's Symposium to D. H. Lawrence. Esther Kronovet, Pat Moore, and Dr. Stauffer made the arrangements for the interest- ing and stimulating program of Friday at Four this year. First row Ileft to rightl: C. Wolfson D. Urban, M. Root.

To carry out their aims, the Red Cross sponsored a large and successful blood donation program. Cots were set up in the gym and the student body turned out in full force to support this drive. A magazine drive was also held by the group. In addition to these programs, they also aided the wounded servicemen of the Mitchel Air Force Base Hospital and deserving ones serving over- seas. Assisting in the efforts this year were Deedy Breslin, Chairman, Del DeVito, Vice-Chairman, Connie Ferrara, Secretary, and Miss Goess and Mr. Kaiser, faculty advisors for the Hofstra Chap- ter of the Red Cross. ,.,,,...f- ,,,,,,,,...M...-1-- ,Mosse ...W f , -M,-.....,.... .,,, W. - RED CROSS First row fleft to rightJ: C.

Sllllllil lllllli lllllllilll llhfllllll Elllll The Sociology Club, headed by a Steering Committee, attempted to integrate the humanities into a Social Science Club through its activities during 1953-54. The club invited members of the different departments to speak on various topics throughout the year, as well as providing outside speakers for those interested in con- temporary sociology and sociological problems. Dr. Chappell and Mr. Gilbert discussed the latest Kinsey Report, Dr. Barash centered his talk about the writing of Talcott Parsons, and other lecturers spoke to the group about such topics as social work, the changing status of women and other areas of sociological analysis. With the aid of the club's advisor, Dr. Barash, the four steering committee members, Judy Ogilvie, Deirdre Breslin, G'ace Nugent, and Toby Ballin gained student interest in the organi- zation. Despite its youth, the Political Affairs Club has become an active and important campus organization. Under the leadership of President Bill Burkhardt, the year-old club has success- fully stimulated student interest in political af- fairs through a program which brought to life current political topics. Several guest lecturers, primarily local politicians and U. N. representa- tives, addressed its members this year. Discus- sion groups and forums were also organized. A Mock Senate, held in coniunction with the Debate Society, and a Mock Korean Truce Con- ference attended by U. N. representatives were highlights of the past year's activities. Aiding Bill in planning the club's affairs were Ed Smits, Vice-President, Carol Haug, Recording Secretary, Frank Stillman, Treasurer, and advisor, Mr. H. Rosenbaum. SOCIOLOGY CLUB Lorenz, C. Von Arx.

As a bona fide member of the Inter- Collegiate Yacht Racing Association of North America as well as the Middle Atlantic Intercol- legiate Sailing Association, Hofstra participated again this year in regattas with such schools as Kings Point, Columbia, Fordham, and Rutgers. The club owns three sailboats which are called Penguins . When no meet was scheduled dur- ing the i953-54 season, the members sailed in Centerport Harbor and the Centerport Yacht Club extended its facilities for docking the boats. After sailing, informal gatherings took place in the clubhouse. Officers of the Sailing Club this year were: Stanley Sawicki, Commodore, Linda Loucks, Vice- Commodore, Jeannine Kilkelly, Treasurer, and Jean Mulhauser, Secretary.

When snow falls on the eastern mountains, the Ski Club literally heads for the hills . The club sponsors ski trips throughout New England and upstate New York every weekend during the winter, with special excursions during the holi- day vacation times. Then, when the sun melts the snow and shines on the eastern shores, the Ski Club trades in its snow skis for water skis. Besides being kept busy on weekends, the club found itself active during the week with guest lecturers, films, fundamental ski instruction, and social functions. Leading the skiers were Sid Atkinson, Presi- dent, Kathy Gilmore, Vice-President, Jean Quig- ley, Secretary, and Bob May, Treasurer. Advis- ing the Ski Club this year were Mr. Gilbert and Dr. Steinegger. FENCING Kneeling fleft to rightl: J. AbruZZO R.

The purpose of the club is to foster college commu- nity interest in the art of all types of mountain climbing and allied interests so that some skill and appreciation may be achieved by both parti- cipants and interested people in and outside this club. The club was founded by Paul Westerbeke and he served as its first President. Assisting him were Kathleen Gilmore, First Vlce-President, Manny Friedman, Second Vice-President, and Jean Quigley, Secretary-Treasurer. The Mountain Climbing Club participated with the Ski Club in winter activities, and it was not until the spring that they really took to the hills . Fencing is one of the oldest organized sports at Hofstra. Although it no longer assumes the role of a major competitive sport, fencing still provides an enioyable and informal activity for interested students. The Club this year was led by Joe Abruzzo, President and Mr. William Sellers, Advisor. The peak of the fencing team's success was reached before the war through the efforts of an outstanding women's foil team and an Olympic fencer. In 1939, Hofstra won the National lnter- collegiate Women's Championship, a victory which was sparked by the exceptional skill of Helena Mroszkowska and her teammates. Of the postwar years, fencing achieved the greatest de- gree of prominence in i949 and T950 under the leadership of Harold Thursby. Since then, the Club has competed informally with St. Peter's and Adelphi. This year, the club met two after- noons a week for practice and instruction.

The Debate Tournament was perhaps the most outstanding, for Hofstra was host to many col- leges in and around the metropolitan area, and the entire day was spent in inter-collegiate de- bating iudged by faculty members and lawyers, etc. from Nassau County. Trophies were awarded to those deserving them, and the Tournament was once again a success. The Society's assets can be measured in the experience which the members receive through speaking and debating. Inter-collegiate and intra- mural debates were other features of the pro- gram which accomplished the Debate Society's aims. Directing the activities of the group were Bob Kroll, President, Ed Smits, Vice-President, Ellen Seiler, Secretary, Bob Ware, Debate Mana- ger, and Mr. E. Vasilew, faculty advisor. llllll illll The purpose of the Rifle Club is to promote interest and provide instruction in small bore shooting. First organized in the spring of 1953, the Club numbered 35 members this year. Week- ly shoots were held for club members at the rifle range, where all necessary equipment was provided. Additional club activities included both shoul- der-to-shoulder and postal matches on an inter- collegiate level. Postal challenges were received from colleges as far away as the U. of Idaho. The club competition team participated as the Hofstra representative in the Metropolitan Inter- collegiate Rifle League. The League program in- cluded matches with Fordham, Rutgers, Colum- bia, N.Y.U., St. John's, Kings Point, and others. High scorers in competition were John Francis, Dick Scheyer, and Joan Werber. Dick Scheyer served as President of the Rifle Club, and the Range Provost was Bob Kraus. Capt. G. C. Valentine was the Faculty Advisor of this new but active campus organization.

The bi-monthly meetings consisted mainly of lectures and demonstrations. During previous years, men who were notable in the field of psychology were invited to speak to the group. This year, however, the lecture series was geared to the new departmental system at Hofstra. People from each of the liberal arts departments were asked to discuss the relationship between their particular field and psychology. Demonstra- tions of hypnosis and the lie-detector were also given. Officers for the past year were Esther Krono- vet, President, Ann Shaffer, Vice-President, Dolores DeVito, Treasurer, Sallie Ellner, Corres- ponding Secretary, and Lenore Roht, Recording Secretary. Dr. Harold Yuker and Mrs. Cynthia Deutsch were the club's co-advisors. -p, 5. - I-.

The Future Teachers of Americaorganization is designed to familiarize prospective teachers with techniques and methods of teaching. This aim was accomplished by regular meetings at which practical application of modern theories was stressed. Motion pictures, lectures, and au- dio-visual aids played a maior part in this extra- curricular development of understanding and ef- fective teachers. Books and magazines were cir- culated among the members to introduce them to pertinent advancements in their profession. This organization once again maintained mem- bership in national educational organizations and obtained considerable benefit from those affilia- tions. This organization, active in coordinating and expanding both the social and professional as- pects in education, was advised by Dr. Brown of the Education Department. The officers were Barbara Freeman, President, Larry Johnson, Vice- President, Fran Meyer, Treasurer, and Joan Tscheiller, Secretary. FTA First row fleft to rightl: J. Katz, D. Kuehn, M. Hornick, J.

Although a quota was imposed by the Department of the Army, 130 cadets entered the Junior Year, Advanced Course R.O.T.C. Twelve senior cadets re- ceived their commissions during the commissioning ceremonies on May 19, 1954, and twenty-two more will be commissioned at the conclusion of the R.O.T.C. summer camp at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland. Six of these senior cadets have been recommended for appointment in the Regular Army. Members of the Advanced Course took several field trips during the year. C-119 Flying Box Cars from Mitchel Air Force Base were utilized to transport cadets to Picatinny Arsenal, Dover, New Jersey, to see how ammunition and explosives are manufactured and handled. This flight was a new experience for most of the group and was enthusiastically received. Trips were also made to Fort Totten, New York, ancl Miller Field, Staten Island.
