COLLEGIA "^^^^'MOLOGV
f^v 11733 Meet
The 19fiO National Junior Col-l
e K P Invitational Wrestling
Tournament will be another first
for SUATI! This tournament, the
first of its kind, is an attempt
to promote wrestling on a na-tional
scholastic level. SUATI
will host this first tournament
starting at 7 p.m. PYiday, March
4, and terminating with two
matches on Saturday, March 5;
one at 2 p.m. and the last at 8
p.m. Farmingdale High School
gym will be the site for the mat-ches.
Mr. Walter Stone, who
was the wrestling coach at Hof-stra
for the past twelve years,
will be head clerk.
It is expected that there will
be ten schools paticipating; four
from Colorado; Essex County
Community College, Maryland;
and the rest from New York;
Paul Smith's, Alfred A T, Or-ange
County Community Col-lege,
While residing in Dorm 4
and other dorms on campus, the
teams will be fed special high
protein meals by Crotty Bros.
Competition will be in ten
weight classes: 115, 123, 130, 137,
147, 157, 167, 177, 191, and heavy-weight.
In each class, those in-dividuals
who place first and
second will be given medals. A
championship trophy and a run-nor
up trophy will be awarded
to the first and second place
teams. There is sure to be keen
competition for these team tro-phies,
since an accumulation of
second and third places only can
make it possible to win the team
trophy. Also, the outstanding
wrestler in the entire tourna-ment
will be selected and pre-sented
an appropriate award.
SUATI's boys have a good
chance to win individual champ-pionships;
but, it is the team
championship everyone will be
striving to claim. On the mats
for SUATI will be: John Fac-tora,
123; Ed Daum, 130; Leigh
Ericson, 137; Jim Lee, 147; Dick
Coronato, 157; John Kasperski,
167; Pat Collins, 177; Miles Bier-man,
191. You notice that we
have no 115 or heavyweight en-tries.
Varsity Club and the Cheer-leders
are working in the tourna-ment.
About twenty of them
will be on the side lines per-forming
jobs that are necessary
but carry little thanks. Service
of this nature is an important
part of these organizations.
During the tournament there
will be two coaches meetings:
4 p.m. on Friday, and 10 a.m. on
Saturday. The meeting on Fri-day
is for all coaches and offi-cers.
The eeting omn Saturday
is to discuss the possible future
of the tournament.
For all those in the tourna-ment
including wrestlers, coach-es,
managers, and workers,
there will be a special snack
and social gathering immediate-ly
following the tournament.
About 10:30 Saturday evening,
everyone will congregate in
Knapp Hall for this special cli-ax
to the tornaent.
Don't forget to attend the
three matches in the tourna-ment.
For all Aggies, the ad-mission
is free. Guests will pay
an admission fee of 50c for
adults and 25c for children.
Since the tournament is being
held at Farmingdale High
School, an invitation has been
extended to Farmingdale High
School students, who will be ad-itted
free upon the presentation
of their G.O. cmards.
Remeber those dates and
times — 7 p.m. Friday, March
4; 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday,

to cheer your team to victory.

CAFE CROni GALA EVENING
Interdorm Council Does It Again With
Night Club Atmosphere
Inter-dorm council has done it again. Following its success-ful
predecessor, County Fair, High Society, sponsored by Inter-dorm
Council, joined the ranks of never-to-be-forgotten affairs
at SUA'Pi^ A delightful evening of dancing and entertainment was
had by all.
The dance w^s held February 13 in Knapp Hall Cafeteria.
A tremendous transformation ^ a d taken place. Our beloved
cafeteria was no longer a dining hall; it was now a night club
Cafe Crotti. The change was best described by the astonished
and bewildered looks of our students as they entered the Cafe.
Campus To Have
Temporary Gpi
By September
Dr. Medesy has announced
that $175,000 has been appro-priated
in the budget for a
"Quonset type" temporary gym-nasium.
The reason there is so
much optimism about the sure-ness
of gettmg the gym is that
the $175,000 is that amount ap-propriated
after the budget had
been slashed. It is very unlike-ly
that the legislature will pre-vent
it from becoming a reality.
The construction of this tem-porary
gym will begin in May
and will be completed in Sep-tember,
1960. It will be located
vvhere the hangar is at present,
and will be practically the same
size as the present hangar which
is 100 X 130 feet (actually the
new temporary gym will be 3
feet widor.)
Construction of the permanent
gym may be completed in 1965.
It will be a Butler type construc-tion
and will be added to the
front of the Tech Building.
A great deal of credit must
be given to Coach Allard who,
for thirty years of service here
at SUATI, has struggled to get
a permanent gymnasium. If
finally looks as though his
dreams will start coming true
—that is they will in May.
Bookstore offers
Foreign & Tech
Magazines
The Student Bookstore now
offers magazine subscriptions to
all students. Magazines, relating
to technical courses as well as
the popular magazines are avail-able
to those who are interested.
Some foreign magazines which
are also offered, might be of in-terest
to not only students of
other lands, but to those interes-ted
in the progress of foreign
countries as well.
Such magazines related to the
technical courses are Electron-ics
World, Dental World, Cornell
Engineer, Aviation W e e k,
Everybody's Poultry Magazine,
Diar Record, Fruit and Vege-table
Review, Heating and Air-conditioning
Contractory and
many more.
For those students interested
in obtaining a magazine suited
to their field of study which may
assist them in their courses, Mr.
Wyles, our Bookstore manager,
will be glad to show the varied
list of magazines and take an
order.
Most of these magazines are
inexpensive when pur-chased
throught our Bookstore, since
they are sold at special student
rates.
Magazines are an excellent
gift idea and they save shopping
time and money, (things es-pecially
scarce to students).
The Bookstore is here for your
convenience; use it to the fullest
extent.
The following is a letter from
the Foster Parents' Plan inform-ing
the students of SUATI of the
change in our foster child. The
complete change is explained in
this letter:
Dear Foster Parents:
We know that you will be hap-py,
for Michail's sake, to learn
that the financial condition of
his family has improved to such
an extent that he is no longer in
need of PLAN aid.
In sending us this information
and the boy's cancellation, our
Director in West Germany
writes that Michail, his mother
and sister, Nadja, are now work-ing.
Their monthly income of
$113.10 takes the family out of
the category of improverish-ment.
Bob Eiicli Presents Prize to "Home-Grown Abe" (John Payne)
The little squeals of delight by our beautiful coeds and the low
pitched sighs of our campus heroes was the resonating response
to this, their new dining hall. Amazement was also supplemented
with astonishment; for no longer did the clanging of trays en-hance
conversation, but the beautiful pieces played by our school
band (under the masterful direction of our one and only Dr. Ore)
provitied the sootliing mood of the evening.
Just as the appearance and sounds of the cafeteria changed,
so did that of our follow SUATlites. Our hero, let's call him
Sam, and liis sweet coer. Sue, awakened from their first shock to
find themselves above a wishing pond. To show his man-of-the
worldliness. Sam of course, contributed a nickel for his best wish.
Sam and Sue are now submerged in the jungle of the dance
floor. Sam tiien gives a sligiit yelp!!! Yes, you guessed it,
the beautiful and seemingly gigantic lady to his right had placed
lior heel siiuarely on our hei'o's big rigiit toe. Limping with
strong iletermination and Sue's shoulder, ho was able to make
liis way to the reserved table which his curriculum had so con-veniently
subsidized.
PUNS FOR STUDENT UNION
FUNDS IN FULL SWING
Have you mentioned the
words "Student Union Building"
to anyone on campus and seen
those far-away $ signs in their
eyes? Yes, that new Student
Union Building is going to cost
plenty of money, and Student
Council has come up with some
ideas to raise that money.
You have all seen the "Bottle
Drive" posters all over campus.
The deposit money received
from these bottles goes into the
Fund.
The next item on the agenda
is the first annual Tea and Fash-ion
Show to be held on Saturday,
April 9, at 2 p.m. in Knapp Hall.
Models, all from SUATI, will
glide by in dress fashions from
Marion Clarke in Babylon, gar-nished
by furs from Chepel
Bros, and Christie in New York.
The SUATI models will be
chosen by faculty judges and
assisted by Miss Hooper. Any
girl who wants to be a model at
the Tea and Fashion Show on
April 9, should submit her name
to the RAMBLER. No modeling
experience is necessary.
As an extra at this Tea and
Fashion Show, door prizes, some
of which are a fur piece, china,
a watch, cosmetics, perfume,
and jewelery, will be presented
to the lucky ticket holders.
Naturally, in presenting this
show, many expenses will be in-curred.
To defer the costs, we
will have a journal. Advertise-ments
for this journal wil be
sold at $25 a page. You can be
a booster for only 50 cents and a
patron for $1.00. Clubs, as well
as individuals, are invited to
contribute to this journal and

NOMANO WURDACK
Our New Foster Child
For more than five years you
have been kind parents to Mich-ail.
We are sure that he will re-member
you with affection and
gratitude. If you wish to have
his address, which came in with
his cancellation, we shall be
glad to send it to you.
So that another child may
have the benefits which Michail
enjoyed, we hope that you will
want to "adopt" Romano Valer-io
Wurdack, whose case history
and picture (which we have re-printed)
which we are taking
the liberty of enclosing. We
trust that you will like Romano
and accept him as your foster
child in Michail's place. We hope
that you will enjoy your rela-tionship
with Romano as much
as you did that with Michail.
Case History of
Romano Valerio Wurdack
Romano is a handsome 12
year old boy who has known
very little of the poys and se-curity
of a normal, happy child-hood.
In fact, for many years
the child's 'liomo' was an or-phanage.
The mother, is a well-educated
woman who fled from
her home in Ugoslavia before
the advancing Russian Army in
1944 and finally made her way to
West Germany where she was
admitted to a DP Camp. Due
to her knowledge of the French
language, she found a job with
the French Army as an inter-preter.
In 1947, she met
