KANTROWITZ, WILLIAM Brooklyn, New York Velvel, as he is known to those who really love him, is another of those Political Science students who realizes the economic foundations of modern society. An ardent and hard worker in all his extra-curricular activities, Willie ful- filled his obligations as Circulation Manager and Business Manager of the Commie with honors. These arduous duties did not keep him from active participation in the French and In- ternational Relations Society. Willie ' s ambition is to settle down with his one and only and run a business of his own. Our guess is that if he does half as well for himself as he did for Commie , Rockefeller and Ford (the living ones, that is) had better move over. KELLMAN, JOSEPH Toronto, Canada Joseph H. Kellman, the H representing His- tory, has also Hitch Hiked his nebulous way from Toronto, Canada into Dr. Brody ' s inner sanctum. During his extended stay within Yesh- iva portals, he has been known by the pseudo- nym of Red . With this popular nick name he undertook the unpopular sports of ping-pong, hockey, and occasionally, baseball. Because of his strong attachment to fiction, he unreservedly believes in expansion and expects to open up a branch of Y.U. in Toronto, providing there- in a post for himself as Professor of History. LAVA, MARTIN Brooklyn, New York Marty, in his intellectual, embryonic stage, was nurtured in the granaries of Yeshiva To- rah Vodaath and Talmudical Academy. For a number of years he was an influential member on the planning committee of the Lavasohn Ya- godakom Hiking Society until its dissolution two years ago. Marty is an outstanding ex- ample of fine synthetic blending. A Political Science major, his plans for the future include the Rabbinate and some business undertaking. He is now secretly advertising for a partner who will contribute a share of capital and scientific experience toward the development of a super ash tray manufacturing enterprise to help al- leviate the discomforts of inveterate smokers. 27

KAHANE, DAVID Brooklyn, New York An excellent Talmudist, Dave also finds time to cultivate his interest in classical literature. Stemming from a family of distinguished Rab- bis, Dave expects to carry on the family tradi- tion. He has already manifested his brilliant talents in this direction by the reputation he has established as a sincere and inspired orator. KALLNER, THEODORE Philadephia, Pennsylvania An excellent Physics major, Teddy was recently appointed as a Lab. Assist, in Dr. Lo- wan ' s Physics laboratory. Teddy could al- ways be found monkeying around with some mysterious looking entity in any of the science labs. His primary hobby is playing around with logical mathematical paradoxes when not taking an active part in the current bull ses- sion . He served as Ass. Editor of the Masmid, member of the Debating team, and involved himself in various non-physical extra-curricular activities. A giant of a man, with at least a 14 karat gold-plated heart, Teddy ' s plans are to create an entire new dormitory from the con- verted energy of one of Stern ' s microscopic KAMBER, ALVIN Brooklyn, New York Al ' s main problem is increasing the amount of working hours during the day. A student of the Teacher ' s Institute, he finds that dividing his time between school work and his duties as T.I. President, Editor of the Nir, and Editor of the Lapid, doesn ' t leave much time in the twenty four hour day. A product of Yeshivath Rabbi Jacob Joseph and eight years of the Yeshiva, he plans to study in the field of Hebrew teaching and social work, especially organizing youth organizations. Alvin can always be found on the third floor with Abe and Sam typing out stencils, planning Chagigas, and atteding T.I. classes. 26

LEIMAN, RAYMOND New York, New York Consuming the oxygen supply of the atmo- sphere at a height of six feet three inches from the ground, Ray beams good naturedly and con- tentedly upon friends and life. His leisure is spent in the sumptuously esthetic surroundings of the Metropolitan Opera House absorbing op- eratic performances from which he subsequent- ly draws his literary inspiration. He caused a stir among opera lovers in the college with his reviews in Commie , and lectures at the meet- ings of the Eranos of which he is vice-president, on opera and its history. Ray is an English ma- jor and he nurses a dormant but pronounced dislike for science teachers. It is difficult to conjecture which two he dislikes specifically. MARCUS. ALVIN Union City, New Jersey Alvin Marcus, who insistently denies any as- sociation with Union City, claims his main love is Chemistry, which perhaps arises from the in- nate desire to synthesize five and ten cent coins. This bespectacled Co-op resident was driven cut of his dorm room by his 50 Chaverim, who having registered, paid their dues in full, and enslaved Blumenfeld, sent an ultimatum to Mar- cus, but he refused to be at the minyan one sec- ond earlier than 8:30. Having been convinced that it is impossible to earn money while sleep- ing, Al decided to spend more time with Dr. Le- vine, Dr. Margalith, Dr. Levine, Hoboken, Dr. Levine, and the Empress, where he is billed as the Selected Shorts . The future presents a challenge to Honest Al, but with a Wall Street approach and a City Hall smile, how can he miss at least a place in the Dun and Brad- street racing form? (It is rumored that this fine young man is a crony of Rudoff ' s, but this is strictly off the record.) METH, BERNARD Brooklyn, New York Barush is a former Mesifta boy who felt right at home at Yeshiva. A Math major, he man- aged to find time to think about joining the Weight-Lifting club. However, evidently finding weightier Talmudic matters on his hands, Ba- rush proceeded to put on an eruditic shine on his halo. A friendly chap, without an enemy in the world (the outside one as well), he should make a fine Rabbi some day. 28
