G'burg Out
For I'd Win

Gaithersburg fans got a
big thrill Saturday when
Jackie Holland rambled for
a 25-yard touchdown which
gave the Trojans a 60 lead
over Wheaton in the first
quarter Of Saturdays game.
However, Yves Schmidt
passed for two touchdowns in
the final quarter that sunk
Gaithersburg's hopes of getting
its first Montgomery County
League victory for this week
at least.
The Trojans move down into
company more nearly their own
size this Friday night at the
Agricultural Center against Sc
verna Park.
This years Gaithersburg
squad, perhaps the best in the
schools history, has had a
tough time against the larger
schools with more players and
more size. The Trojans have
accounted for themselves ac-
creditably in the early quarters,
but have been worn down by
the last quarter by the beating
they are taking.

burg might have only lost one
game at this point, but instead

The previous season Blair laced
the Knights $50 and shared the
Bi.County crown with Richard
Montgomery. Wheaton won rs
in 1858 in another exciting con.
test.
Blair should rule a favorite in

offense, but Wheaton has shown
itself to be tough, hardhitting
ball club which will probably
make Blair take to the air if
it wants to win.
This Blair can do. Sonny

ball guard has matured into a
fine quarterback and given the
Blazers their best passing under
Coach Joe Good.
Jackson completed 16 of 10
throws that led to 248 yards
and all four Blair touchdowns
last Saturday against Sherwood.
Jackson has thrown six touch
down passes in the last three
games and has averaged over
200 yards a game through the
air over the span.

Discriminatory Restraint

Legislation sponsored jointly by
Senator Byrd Of Virginia and Senator
Beall Of Maryland would remove
Hatch Act restraint which unfairly and
unnecessarily prevents Federal employees
from active participation in their local
governments. While the ban on politi-
cal activity by Government worker
in national elections is justified, there
Is no sense in barring them from taking
part in purely local campaigns through
which county or municipal officials
governing them are chosen.
In nearby Virginia and Maryland
communities, where Federal employees
predominant, the Hatch Act now de-
priveS local governments of the services
of many competent citizens simply
because they are on the Government
payroll-unlesS they are willing to run
or campaign as independents. This has
resulted in the development Of mon
partisan" groups having every appear
ance of political activity. Democratic
and Republican spokesman rightly con-
tend that this is discriminatory.
The Byrd-Beall bill would give each
Federal employe in the area the right
to take IAN active part in political
management or in political campaigns
solely involving county, municipal or
other local Offices in the county, NUM-
cipality or locality in which he resides"

TWenty-t third. Amendment

HaCl1lcatlon OF the 23d
Amendment by Kansas is a
fine step forward for the
citizens of the District, who
have been for so long desig-
mated as second-class citizens.
The headlines now indicate
action to be taken on home

on this supposed next step,
1t might be a good idea to
stop and take stock.
First, I think that the cit
izens of the District should
be asked if they, in fact,
want home rule, as such.
Many of us do not think so.
1t could be that a few, well
meaning, but misguided peo-
pie will take up the cry with

a newly enfranchised part of

Der OF our citizens, I still
consider that we are still
less than first-class citizens.

it would appear to me, is for
the people Of the District to

Grafton. Most of us have
great pride in the community
in which we live, in the City

however, that we are con-

AS for "home rule" to me,
this appears lacking in prac-
ticality in a Federal District.
l would suggest, rather, that
the system of Commission
erS be continued, with one
modification. This is to ex-
pand it to consist of five

By this means the machinery

Moth Shortcut

Our modern educational
experts" are at 1t again!
The new attack on our
public school system is in the
field Of mathematics - the
basic tool Of our future CD
scientists and engineers. The
National Science Foundation,
an agency Of our Federal
Government, has used our
hard-earned tax dollars in
contracting with Maryland
University and the Carnegie
Corporation of New York to
come up with a super-duper
shortcut method of learn
ing math. Because of this
shortcut method, they are
supposedly able to cram jun
ior high, senior high, and
college math into a few years.
or course, in this teleScop-
ing process, something must
be sacrificed. What is sacri-
feed is the whole sequence
OF logical thinking which
spans the hypothesis and the
conclusion (the real value of
math in teaching our chill
dren how to think. AS in
sight-reading, the student
looks at a problem, hoping
to sight a pattern; if he
hasn't memorized that par
ticular problem, he is lost
and doesn't know where to
begin.
The Maryland math text
books are polluted with typo
graphical errors (Which rem
der many of the problems i'm
possible of solution). Termi-
nology and symbolism are
substandard, and the student
cannot possibly study from
other textbooks or receive
parental help as they cannot
understand standard math
lingo. The Maryland math
textbooks are full of gaps;
much is excluded. And even
if we could rely on the teach
ers' filling in the gaps, a
student is unable to make up
lost lessons. The textbook is
3 confusing; jumping from one
subject to another without
explanation, lacking conti-
nuity and sense.
