10 “Is SDS the answer?”, a student asked last month in a letter to the Maine Campus. He wondered if the Students for Democratic So­ SDS ciety were the sole spokesmen for a “public social conscience” at the University of Maine. There are over 7,000 students at the Orono campus and probably less than 100 of them actively follow the trumpet of the SDS.

Many, probably most Alumnus readers will not agree with the SDS. The great majority of university students do not. The university ad­ ministration and many alumni are concerned about the bad image SDS activities give the university. But a great number of these same people also complain that they do not under­ stand the new college generation. There can be no understanding without knowledge. The following article does not condone the SDS, it is an attempt to educate Alumnus readers about the student group.

It is an interview with five members of the SDS Steering Committee: Steven B. Williams of Mystic, Conn.; Richard Davies of Acton, N. J.; David L. Bright of New Providence, N. J.; Geoff Sullivan of St. Louis, Mo.; and Lawrence Moskowitz of New York, N. Y. Moskowitz is one of the SDS founders at Maine and usually is the group’s spokesman.

All five men are experienced mountaineers. They have totaled 110 ascents of Mt. Katahdin from Chimney Pond. The climbers named their feat “High Ski ’68!” What was it like: “The slopes were high and open. The angle of traverse exposure was quite startling. We made runs from 300 yards to a quarter of a mile. Our speed from these long traverses was such that it was next to impossible to set the edge of a ski. We would stop by executing a two-pole jump turn,” said Robbins. From the unmarked Cathedral snowfields the party pushed on to the summit of Baxter Peak. The last few hundred feet were painfully engineered. Each man was tied together with a rope and literally carved out footholds in the ice with axes. A single slip could have sent the men tumbling down 1,000 feet of Katahdin’s slick, blue ice.

The Bears dropped two games, btit snapped a 13-game win streak when they stopped Pfeif­ fer College. Butterfield complained that rain washed out several contests leaving him with several “unanswered ques­ tions.” Butterfield has two men he feels will play key roles for his club. George Ferguson of Lisbon Falls is rated highly by his coach. A senior, he has been playing shortstop where “He is needed” but is a regular third baseman. “He’s the best player I’ve had here since 1967 and twice has been named in the draft by Baltimore, the first time' as a sopho­ more.” In the three southern games he batted .469. Outfielder Darryl Calkins of Danville, Vt., also draws high praise from his coach. Calkins and Ferguson are the only men on the squad with a full year of experience. Basically, the Bears are on the young side although there are eight seniors. There are ten sophomores, four of them pitchers. The hurling will be a major problem of the Bruins. The lone DORINDA PERRIN AND WILLIE MAYNARD senior is Gordie Engstrom of Dover-Foxcroft. Impressive in his first varsity start was Bob Curry of South Portland, lone lefty of the group and a sophomore. Charlie Walker They Know Their Billiards of Mount Vernon is the only junior.
