G rease It was a chilly autumn night and the roughly nine-hundred people in line stretched from Shea Auditorium to the library. What were they wait- ing for? A slice of life in the fifties. The nostalgia craze hit WPC en masse as tickets were sold out in two days for the road company produc- tion of Grease ' ! The hit musical provided the colorful music and lan- guage of the nifty fifties for the SRO crowd, who saw everything from DA ' s and drlve-lns to bubble gum and bobby soxs. Hand jive and We go together were two musical numbers that brought a standing ovation from the throng.

During the week SGA President Ron Sampath; and Director of Food Services. Chris Miller had a disagree- ment about the lettuce served in the Student Center. Someone found an empty carton of lettuce from Califor- nia in the area and brought it to Mill- er s attention. When told it was scab lettuce. Miller replied. Is it really? Sampath asked for a ' . . . definitive word on this as soon as possible and cited action by the General Council as a possible solution to the matter. Upstairs in the second floor con- ference room, rumblings of a student strike against tuition hikes came from an organizational meeting. The Radi- cal Communications Club brought members of the Women ' s Collective, the Black Student Union and the Vets Association together to discuss the possible strike. They decided on a student rally for October I . Saturday. October 20, proved to be another bad day for athletics at WPC as the baseball, football, and soccer teams all lost their home games. The best showing came from the baseball team who lost to our rival Montclair State 3-1. Despite the defeat, Coach Albies was satisfied with the Pioneer performance. We had an excellent defense, only one error to their four, but we didn ' t cap- italize! ' It was a pitchers ' duel for most of the game, each team gave up only four hits, but walks hurt the Pioneers. WPC hurler. Hal Hermans, gave up four hits in six innings put- ting the winning scores on base for Montclair ' s first Inning three run homer. Walks also led to the Pio- neers ' lone score in the sixth when Jim Konel and Jose Rodriguez took two free bases. Bob Dreschel fol- lowed with a single to bring in the lone Pioneer score.
