ClimaxiDg a recent campus push to show that SUATI too is [Aysically
fit, seven students left Farmingdale campus in the midst of a bone-chilling
grey drizzle. Sloshing du:t>u^ the slush, onward towards Times
Square, die hearty seven looked forward to the onerous food and return
fare prcxnised by the Student Council, sponsors of the hike, to those
noble Aggies who clocked up die fiill fif^ miles.
Thirteen hours and thirty three minutes later, five glassy-eyed
survivors, little stronger dian Arctic esqdorers after lc»g e^qposure to
the elements, touched base at Times Square. John Hyland,Jim

Unfortunately the Times was not printed that day to record the news-shattering
event. But certain other indelible impressions were made.
Tom socks, holes in shoes, an unusually heavy consumption of Ameri-can
cheese, and at least one shook-iq;> hamburger joint will retain the
memory of SUATI undaunted.

The Senior Class officers are
sponsoring a "beard growing"
contest, of which there are some
forty students partic^ting.
^ c i a l permits from Dean
Willenbrock were Issued <HI
February 15 and February 18 to
each student.
The main c^jective of such a
contest to promote, according
to Larry Cans President of the
Senior Class, school spirit. It has
also been a tradition of the school
(sbice 1953). It is not a money-making
activity in that the entry
fees will be used to purchase
prizes.
The students have seven weeks in
which to grow their beards. Hie
longest, most original, and the best
looking will be awarded first prize
at the Sadie Hawkins dance on
April 5, which is the official closing
of the contest.
With the cranpletion ' of the two day tournament Aggie mat-men were
forced to relinquish the title of NJCAA Region XV Champs. The victors
were the Nassau C(»nmunity College wrestlers, ^cpring a total of 72
points to the Aggies' 71. Orange County took thix^ place with 60 points.
The first c(»npetition began with the quarter finals on Friday n l ^ t of
the 22nd. There were no entries in the 115 and 123 lb. divisions. In
the 130 tt). division. Brush was the Aggies first tournament entry. He .
was beaten by Cenquomani of Orange County in a 5:00 fall. Cenquomani
was later to place third in his class.
The 137 U). division found Frank Pollak, defending champ, entered
on a bye (whereas his first match was to be in the semi-finals).
Dick Renda, wrestling in the 147 lb. division, produced the Aggies second
loss as Romano of Rockland County won by a dicision of 7-2. Terry
Ryan (undefeated entered on a bye in the 157 lb. division. Our first win
came in the form of Dick EhUnger as he pinned his opponent in a time of
3:35. A1 Pearson lost to Alnwick of Nassau in 177 lb. division by a pin of
&45. Pete Larscm once again came up with a quick pin of 1:28 over his
adversary, Schutz of Rockland. There were no entries in the unlimited.
At 2:00 Saturday afternoon in front of a crowd of s l i ^ t l y over a
hundred spectaotrs, semi-finals began. Dolon met a first period pin
(three- three-minute periods) in 1:58 to his Orange County opponent,
thus putting the Aggies out of contention for a possible first or second
place in the 115 lb. division. Then, the first big match for the Aggies
came ^hen Dave Baud<^ also a defending champ, and his opponent
fast and cloi^ match that ended iq) in over ttne. With five seconds left
to the third period and Baudo trailing by a 6-5 score, the Aggie broke
away from hi^ ihanwith one big, quick effort. He thus received the one
point necessary for the overtime wrestling. The overtime periods were
two two-minute periods. Dave then took over and won die match by
dominating his man with endurance and reserved strength which was
lacking in Weinberg. Frank Pollak was the Aggies' next man (the Aggies
had no entries In the 130 lb. semi-finals). Pollak wasted little time in
pinning Alker (his opponent).
The Aggies had no semi-final entries In the 147 lb. division. In die
157 lb. division, Terry Ryan wrestled Rockland's McGrath. Ryan pinned
McGrath in 5:34 thus paving the way for his final match with Stein of
Orange County. At 167 lb. Ehlinger was finally brought down by Um-mer
and pinned In 2:25. The Aggies had no wrestler scheduled In
the 177 lb. semi-finals. Larson produced one of the fastest matches
of the tournament as heplnnedSchweltzer of Bronx Community In a time
clocked at 24 seconds.
One of the Aggie hlghll^ts of the match was an outstanding per-formance
Issued by Jim O'Dono^i^ as he clinched the r l ^ t to wrestle
the returning toillmlted division champ from Nassau by defeating Bren-nan
of Orange County 9-0.

that physically fit. The next ten miles saw all but die last two succumb.
The winners testified that the last five miles were the worst. Five f i i / ^ u f B a • • / \ i i m i
pounds of American cheese, and several hamburgers were c<xisumed on SNUnSAtt, QUtmM
route. The strongest temptations were received throu^ the many offers
of rides which the hikers collected along their maradion. One skeptical
policeman stc^iped diem and accused our students of throwing snow-balls
at passing cars. When thefr mission was explained to New York's
finest, the policeman let them go and wished them luck.
A well-earned steak dinner in the big city climaxed the end for die
two heroes. When asked if diey would repeat this feet, die two replied

RISI6MS RfSIGNS
Five SUATI student leaders
experiences a s l l ^ t case of shock
when handed resignations from
George G. Gerard (ET Fr.).
Gerard's neat well-worded
letter of resignation stated that
he had cmitemplated his involve-ment
in activities here at SUATI
and decided to withdraw completely
from student activities.
Jim Giovoni. President of the
Radio Chib, Ray Tompkins. Editor
of die RAMBLER, Joe Zamitz.
President of the Young Americans
for FreedMn, Ron Ovens, Vice
President of the ICC, and Henry
Kogdc President of the Student
Council were the recipients of
Gerard's resignations. Gerard
was recently elected to the
Presidency of ICC, vice-present
of the Young American for
Freedom, vice-president of the
Radio Club, Managing editor of
the RAMBLER and was operations
chief of W2 YNM. Gerards action
was not a with-drawal from just
the elected positions but he also
indicated severance from mem-bership
in the clubs he belonged to.
Fd)ruary 22nd the National As-soclatl(
»i8 of Gardens held Its
9di annual dance at the
Knights of Columbus Hall In Un-denhurst.
The dance was attended
by studrats and their guests and
more than ten Faculty members.
The Maestros supplied the music,
and the students si^iplied the l a u ^
ter and gaity. The ^owball Queen
nominati(Hi, The Twist contest, and
door prizes were main attractions
for the evening. Darron Bonawandt
an B,T, senior, was selected as
Sno¥i>all Queen out of the six fin-alists.
The Twist Contest proved'
to be anodier difficult decision for
die judges. John Maddox, an OH
Freshman, and Mary Organ, an
SA Senior, danced their way to
win the contest. Each received a
record album.
^The N.A,G. is the largest club
on campus. Those who were unable
to go, have to wait anodier year.
But for those of us who did go,
we know what tbey missed.
points scored with 59 over Nassau's 54 and Orange County's 51.
In the consolation matches, SUATI had four entries; Dolan, Pearson,
Renda, and Ehlinger. Dolan (115) suffered a first period nin as Noto
of Nassau clinched thfrd with a fall of 2:35. Renda also met defeat
as his opponent (Bronx Community) topped him with a 4 - 3 dicision. EHck
Ehlinger showed some fine wrestling as he pinned his man from Orange
County in 1:35 and secured thfrd place. Another dilrd place victory by the
Aggies was by A1 Pearson (17^ who pinned the wrestler from York In
4:51.
At 8:00 the finals got under way with the Aggies filUng in five of the
ten wei^t classes, l l i e first match was between McAdams of Orange
and Ronson of Bronx Community in the 115 lb. wei^t class with the
Orange man winning on a 37 second pin.
The first man up for the Ag^es was Baudo (123) who would be
wrestling to de£end his championship title. His opponent was Coffey of
Suffolk Community, a strong and very fast wrestler. At die end of the
first period Coffee had the lead of 4-1, with Baudo scoring his one point
aa an escape. The score then jumped to 9-3 in the final period. Baudo
sensed that his man was weakening when he began his final push. Time
was against him as he lost 9-5 in one of the best matches of die ni^t.
The thfrd match found Remmey of York against Ingram (defending
champ) of Suffolk in the 130 lb. division. Remmy won in a pin of 2:45.
Frank Pollak (137) produced one of the hi^spots in the match for the
Aggies. His adversary was Heitowy from Orange. The first period
found the score 0-0 and the sec(»d 3-3. A s i ^ t not often seen during
a match was a stalanate situation where both men had tied themselves
into such a hunan knot that breaking it by either boy m i ^ t have proved
fatal in a final decision. The third and final period ran out with the score
still 3-3. However, riding time had as yet, not been calculated. (If one
