filled with lively promenaders at all times dancing arm In arm for a change, Saturday's events were the highlights of 'Boken. The sunny day helped set the true carnival/picnic atmosphere around campus,' On the 8th Street lolthe mini carnival sponsored by the IFC drew a large portion of the crowd. The midway had a variety of booths Including a dime toss for glassware (Phi Sigma Kappa), ,betting wheel (Sigma Phi Ep'sllon), knock-a-block iOeltaTau Delta), tic-tao-toe (Zeta Omega), knock-a-cat (Chi Psi), wire loop (Pi Lamda Phi), beer chugging (Sigma Nul, pie throWing (Alpha Sigma Phi), car demolishing (Beta Theta Pi), and a coin' toss (Arnold Air Society), Also on the lot were some rides and a fun house, , Over In front of the field house the Gear and Triangle Beer and Barbecue sold out within 5 hours, going out sooner than that was the 10C ice cream, After the JV Lacrosse game the baseball diamond was the

Also, it asked President - 3-man (woman) teams lined up Roglirs to reoonsloar thll'decIL " sian and In turn exercise his power to make an exception to the rules that prescribe a termination of Dr. Efe's teaching at Stevens. In response to President Roger's statement at the' last Forum conoernlng a lack of research on Dr. Efe's part, it was suggested that the Electrical Engineering stall be increased, As a result more research 'time would be available to the enl/re department, whloh as a whoieappears to lack research, Dr, Efe Is presently involved in g'raduate and undergraduate education, the laller in two departments.

Cars driving along River Road as well as most of Stevens crammed to see the speotaoular display, During another one of the band's breaks a beer race held In the field house saw the Chi Phi team drown out all the other competing teams. Sunday a lull IIIt'ered throughout the campus as tired party goers recovered from the acllon packed weekend, Boken brought forth a lot of positive input by many students who really enjoyed the weekend.

Faddis and Jazz Band: Spectacular

by Marcel Simon

Music lovars who double as Tech persons were treated last Wednesday as Prof. Ondrlck presented another one of the gems he regularly slips Into this technical world, This semester's guest was Jon Foddis, an emerging star trumpet player, The opening set, by the Slevens Jazz Band alone was solid If not spectaCUlar. However, when Faddis was intraduced, things seemed to happen, He took his lime before starting his solo, acting shy, and seemingly surprised at being the guest of honor, This rapidly loosened up the band and had

the audience drooling with expectation, They were not disappointed. Foddis demonstrated extraordinary versatility In all registers of his instruments. His style Is extremely clean and he does lillie slurring even when playing the blues, He Is also a master of his medium, effortlessly going from tradiationai swinging jazz to more modern material.

Faddis' performance spurred on the band members, who rose up to him, Particularly brilliant ware Jeff Pearlman and George Jackan on tenor and alto sax, respectively, and Dr, Ron Gaubreau on trombone and

Steve Rounds on trumpet.

The rhythm section of Jim Moran (piano), Kevin McLaughlin (drums), Danny Glacapelli (guitar), and Steve "Wezoo" Legensky (bass), was as solid as evar, and the guys occasionally erupted Into dazzling solos that had the appreciative crowd on Its feel. Speaking of whioh, the audience was both vocal and large, and a good number of people had to stand up, At that rate, the 4th floor seminar room will very soon be too small. All I can say Is thank you Professor Ondrlck and Jon Foddls for ' making that possible,

Boxing Club Debut

On the eve of the famous 'Boken weekend a new dimension was added to the student's extracurricular activities list with the dawn of the Boxing Olub here at Stevens, The club presented a night of exhibition amateur boxing consisting of five exciting matches, The aim of these matches was to introduce the audience to amateur boxing in the purest sense and to omit the more violent aspects of thes sport. Winning or losing was played down. since as In all amateur sports, satisfaction Is realized In fUlfilling team and personal goals.

The matches were as follows:

Bout 1- Steve "L'i1 General"

Grandlnall vs, Phil "the Flying Phillpino" Acutanza

Bout 2- Jose "the Hammer"

Bravo vs. John "Mongo" Honnle

Bout 3- Ken "the Vince" Mayer vs. "Boken" Joe Tomczyk

Bout4· Bill "Hard Left" Stypa vs.

The tennis team, which used a 3-match winning streak to attain a record of 4-1, has gotten Itself onto a 3-match losing binge tq even Its record to 4-4. Those 3 losses came at the hands of Kings Point, Concordla, and Kean. Leading up to those losses

were two orushlng victories. over St. Peters and Yeshiva. Singles strength enabled Tech to wi n 5 out of 8 singles matches against St. Peters and 6 oul.of 6 singles matches against Yeshiva. The final scores were Stevens 6- St. Peters 3. and Stevens 9- Yeshiva O.

This was a dlflnlte case of "the calm before the storm" as Tech only won one Individual match in the next three outings. The lone survivor was #4 singles player Phil Salzman who grabbed his win In an 8-1 rout by the Merchant Marines of Kings Point. Although the atmosphere was much more calculating than that of Pratt University, In Bed-Stuy, the court situation was just as appalling, The team wquld have no excuse for Its loss of all of the players who had practiced on rubber door mats and flattened-out circus tents but since none of them had had that "privilege", the .tempers. were flaring. The courts con· slsted of an asphalt base with either canvas or coarse rubber oarpets laid out on top. The canvas courts were fast While the ball refused to bounce past the 'servlce line on the doormat courts, This caused great confusion for players who had to play their singles match on one surface and a doubles match on another surface. This then reduces the Idea of figuring out how to play your opponent to

The next deluge was at the. hands of Ooncordla. a team which Tech had swamped 9-0 I.ast year (a Win, last year? Amazlngl) Concordia h'as entered the recruiting business and discovered three fresh men phenomena, One was a Brazilian who toyed "with any challenger who was stupid enough to get on the court': with him in the first place. Last year's #1 player was knooked down to #4 which made' things even more difficult. The "near-win of the match" award goes to John Dela Rosa who took the #3 man to 3 ·sets. The "S&M match" award goes' to Jim "Curly" Thomas who was overheard saying to his opponent, "Whip me, whip me, 6-0, 6-0." The final score was Ooncordla 9- Tech O.

Kean then took Its turn as egodestroyer, After showing up 'h hour latel they had the nerve to wrap, up the Ducks 9-0, The highlight of the match was Terry McGovern's exhibition of tennis skills before a hometown crowd which probably ranks as the largest «!.owd to watch a Tech Tennis Team be demolished,

The next home match Is Saturday, April 29. at 11 a.m. on Spring Sports Day against NYU, On Wednesday, May 3, Tech takes on NY Polytech at home at 3 p.m.
