The visit is part of -a survey which the college's School of Health and Lhysical Education is conducting concerning the quality of professinal preparation its graduates have received.

The 17 directors are on a 23-member advisory 'staff appointed last fall by the asso- ciae dean of the school, Dr. Arnold W. Wilhelm. Since last September, physical education graduates from the class of 1966 have been completing questionnaires concerning the quality of their professional preparation. Chief school officers and directors of health, physical education and recreation, including members of the advisory staff, have evaluated each graduate and sent their ratings -to he college's evaluation committee.

The committee is headed by Dr. William Straub, coordinator of graduate programs in physical education, and WalterNewsom, director of the college's divi- sionnof institutional research. Physical education major students Dale Trabold and Thomas Malina are also members of this committee.) During the visit, the direcr. tors will review the college's physical education 'undergrad- uateprogram. They will attend classes, conduct informal discussions with students and take part in seminars concerning various parts of the professional preparation program.

Topics will include intercollegiate athletics for men and women, i am a 1 sports, student teaching and graduate education. One of the highlights of the day's activities will be an address by Provost Robert Davies on the "Long-Range Planning Implications for the School of Health and Physical Education." The directors have been asked to write individual reports to the evaluation committee on their visit to the college. Their reports will include i i on the strengths and weaknesses of the physical education program arid specific recommendations on how to improve professional preparation for the undergraduates. The Ithaca College School of Health and Physical Education has graduates in every part of New York and in many sections of the country, in both teaching and coaching capacities. a speech by David Dellinger, a middleaged pacifist and one of the "Chicago seven," calling for solidarity with all those who were facing similar charges and urging all to give generously to bail funds.and legal aid funds.

During his speech, an unidentified student interrupted the "conspirator" and seized the microphone, burned his draft card and urged others to do so. After a brief pause, about two dozen students stood up and burned what appeared to be their draft cards before Dellinger resumed his speech. Dellinger, who did not encourage the burnings, noted ff action is the non-violent gospel of love On the other hand, they are determined to preserve their brand of law and order--which decrees that children may' be burned by napalm, but hunting licenses may not; that the war must spread like, a plague through Laos and Cambodia, but the peacemakers must tow the line of the law The statement purported to be form Father Berrigan went on to.say that "in criminal times the innocent man must choose to be a I choe to be called a criminal because I will have nd part in my country's crimes. I choe to be called traitor to a land which day after day betrays the best hopes of man," it continued. The statement read by Goldman quoted Father Berrigan as saying he expected to be even soon." On Friday just as a speaker shouted from the podium "we welcome all thoe oppressed who are fugitives from justice," the Jesuit walked quietly in the great hall through the crowd.
