American students living together, taking all courses in English, would not benefit from the oppor­ tunities which a foreign country had to offer. The University of Fribourg de­ clared that if Georgetown did not agree to this proposal, the George­ town students would not be per­ mitted to enroll. However, Fr. Fitzgerald declared that George­ town maintained its position, and Fribourg has consented to allow Georgetown students to register, while not being a part of the "American College at Fribourg." In discussing plans for the fu­ ture of the program, Fr. Fitzger­ ald said, "Georgetown will prob­ ably relocate after the 1970-71 academic year." This decision re­ flects criticisms of many former participants in the program that Fribourg's location is too rural and that a University in a larger European city would be more ad­ vantageous. Although a number of Universities are under considera­ tion, Fr. Fitzgerald stressed that no decision has been made as of yet.

It is his contention that in order to change the nature of the Board it would be necessary to change the sub­ stance of those issues which are presented for the Board's approval. This could be most effectively accomplished, Winston believes, by a reconstitution of those com­ mittees which execute University policy on the most basic levels. He also stated that he had come to realize that "faculty department " committees - particularly hiring, rank and tenure, salaries, and cur­ '. riculum-are the power center of the University."

Regarding the ultimate consti­ 1. tution of the Board, \Vinston stated that "the people who sit on the Board should be competent in edu­ cation" and should serve as an objective voice which provides con­ structive criticism for the initia­ tion and operation of University programs.

The Hoya--1920

Georgetown Main Campus--1920

When The HOYA was founded 50 years ago, some things were about the same as today. In the 1920 issues, fiery editor­ ials rapped vandalism on the Hilltop, and called upon students to quit damaging telephones. The newspaper decried the ~~chid­ ing and tittering" of Yale fans as the Elis humiliated George­ town 46-17 in a basketball game. And The HOYA called upon the Democratic Party, then in disarray, to Hnominate some good-looking movie man for President-then watch the wom­ en's votes flock in." But other things, like costs, were quite different. Note these yearly figures: 1920 1970 Tuition $ 525 $ 2,100 Room Rental $ 125 $ 550 HOYA budget $3,000 $40,000 Today's operating budget for the University is $52 million-at least 25 times what it was 50 years ago.

The Honorary Board of Editors of The HOYA is composed of past members of the staff; who have been elected to their present honorary position for reasons best known to them. Among their duties are the recognition of continued service to the paper and just plain attendance at banquets, etc. As a result of the above, and probably really because our years in Copley Base­ ment meant so very much to us, we take great pleasure in saluting The HOYA on making it to age fifty (sometimes we doubted) and hope that there will be at least fifty more years, if not decades.

As editor, I selected a staff Of those whom I thought were my friends (and still do) and whom I knew were better students than I. But life was comparatively simple and easy-going in those days and rarely did any member of my brain trust contribute anything on time. Obviously, I was a poor administrator, 80 I wrote most of the Oollege stUff myself.

I did not have representatives in the other schools and printed everything they sent me. The sports department I deemed "adequate." I'd better not comment upon the editOrial content, but I do remember that I could always obtain very strong reactions to any personal references I made to the various campus politicians and their activities.

I can remember only two unusual events during my "term." I did manage to get out a "Special Edition" for a New York alumni meeting with the result that I had a blockbuster of a weekend in the city in the company of the gay and charming Leo V. Oasey. Then in April I was called before the Dean Of Studies, whose opening gambit was: "Do you expect to graduate in June, Russell'!" I promptly turned over my chores to my successor.

Supplement Nine

An adventurous HOYA of the 1970's, rummaging through the numerous files from the Brave New World of 1947-1948, would have to feel something in common with that startled explorer who first came across the Rosetta Stone:

"Very interesting. But what do the words mean?"

"What is a prefect, anyway?~~

"And here's a headline: 'Tom Dewey To Be Elected President, Student Poll Says.' I wonder if he won?"

"Wait. Here's a picture of Katherine Cornell (Of Broadway; according to the caption. Is that near Off-Broadway ar Off­ Off-Broadway?"

"Betty Hutton selling cigarettes in a HOYA ad. Who is Betty Hutton? What's a cigarette?"

"I don't see anything about the Three Sisters Bridge. But there's a story about bed checks?"

"Didn't they ever go to the movies?"

"This piece must have slipped in from our files. A plea for more volunteers from the HOYA staff."

"Hmmm. No pictures of editars with beards. Just a coincidence, probably."

"What's this? 'Students Cold to Draft.' That's what the MIDYEAR GRADUATION (Jan. 20, 1943) headline says.

Thinking back through two decades to «my time" on The HOYA (1946 to 50), it's safe to say that memories associated with working in the Copley Catacombs were undoubtedly the strongest associations during my four years on the Hilltop.

In this age Of confrontation, it is easy now to see that our generatiorv-though composed largely of veterans of World War II--were nwre compliant and less assertive than the present. Nonetheless, the lesson which stands out from serving as HOYA editor is: It's vital that the staff and editor of The HOYA work as a team, to produce an excellent finished product, despite the inherent difficulties of a volunteer part- time operation. (If Georgetown ever gets a journalism curriculum, it will make the role infinitely easier- but never easy.) Since graduation 1 have spent my entire business career in a writing capacity of one form or another and find that the hard-earned lessons of producing a college weekly have always stood me in good stead. The abilty to meet deadlines, despite conflicts, and the ability to encourage others to produce topnotch work on a voluntary basis have been valuable assets indeed.

(Mrs. Malaprop)

It is 'With a certain sense of uneasiness that I return to these pages, even by in'Vitation. So much has happened, so much has not happened in the three years since I last wrote here. Trudging from one relevant confrontation to another, trying to shake the non-negotiable demands off our backs, protecting ourselves from the common truth with uncommun lies (and those For Adults Only), telling it like it is is our own thing, we are, as poet Richard Wilbur says ((fraying into the future," weary of the last decade and ' leery of the next. Now too, a college teacher myself and viewing matters from the other side of the desk, the whole academic picture, blurred by 'Violence and dissatisfaction, has lost its (for me) simplistic focus of several years ago. Generally then, both socially and personally, there seems today more urgent need for and less clear evidence of genuine sense-making than when I last wrote for the HOYA. And this makes me uneasy.

For after all, making sense is a journalist's job. And I can remember spending many nights over a couple of years in a cramped office in Copley basement trying to do just that. Writing on the vagaries of the college administration and the national Officialdom, on social trivia and the horror in Vietnam, on Kennedy and Playboy, I fought weekly deadlines to make both sense and a phrase. Perhaps those articles were contentious {for those few of you who may even recall them, would you rather ((pretentious?"), but that was part of the purpose of the paper as I saw it--and still do. My writing received the usual darts and laurels (though in what CARTOON BY SUE AND CATHY PORRECO (March 27, 1969) seemed to me unequal proportions!), but I remember being often upset that The HOYA (and for that matter, Georgetown "Caught in this flux, the Univer­ a righteous watchman over the determine where higher education itself) did not receive the same.

And yes, The HOYA is included, too. Though fat (its circulation is 5000 and it averages 20 pages per issue, this edition being the obvious exception) and fifty (the reader should know by now that it marks a half-century of publication this year), Georgetown's weekly newspaper remains very much of its editors' child, newborn each Thurs­ day morning. The efforts required to coax The HOYA from mind to readable, graphically attractive matter can be compared only to labor pains. The editor's pride in the finished product is the pride of doting parents-it is sometimes justified, sometimes not, but always incapable of being burrowed away. And when something goes amiss, the fault is never, ever The HOYA's. Blame is heaped upon this or that editor, or perhaps a reporter or copy reader, or even the typesetter. Blaming the institu­ tion called The HOYA would be somewhat akin to filing suit against the Church, or perhaps Baseball. The editors, like indulgent parents
