The win leaves St. John's in a three-way tie with Gustavus and UMD for first place in the tough MIAC. St. John's, who plays Macalester (1-5) in their last conference game tomorrow, are in a strong position to gain at least a share of the conference title. The big clash in the conference tomorrow will be the University of Minnesota at Duluth versus Gustavus, and unless they tie, one of them will also claim a share of the MIAC championship. Concordia won the statistical battle for the game played at Collegeville as they rolled up 155 total yards to the Johnnies* 92. Holding a team as powerful as St. John's to 92 yards is quite an achievement even if it was done on a muddy field and much of the credit goes to the Cobbers' defensive line. Mike Kutter led the defense in this show of power and was therefore named the defensive player of the week. Offensively, Mark McNelly bulldozed his way for 138 of the Cobbers' 153 yards rushing and averaged a remarkable 4.8 yards per carryj McNelly, who has been a consistently strong performer all year, was awarded the outstanding offensive player of the week honors. The outcome of the game was decided by fumbles and the Cob- bers made the most costly mistakes. Before either team could {Photo by Mark Sotyst) generate an offensive drive in the first quarter, Concordia made its first mistake as they lost a fumble on their own 27 yard line. St. John's was again unable to make a first down against the Cob- bers' stubborn defense. The Johnnies called on Bob Nashby, their left-footed field goal kicker and he put them ahead 3-0 as he kicked his fifth field goal of the year.

But if a women student reads the statement with adequate reflection it will prove that she is a potential philosopher, since she would have discovered that the statement reflects as much upon the author (Nietzsche) as upon women. Your third question, "Does it (the Nietzschean description) simply remind them that males still consider women to be subjects Apathy proves 'too much' of ridicule?" The question entails an illicit generalization since at best it can remind them that some males (certainly not males as a class) consider women to be subjects of ridicule.
