Musliner finished only fourth in the New England AFLA foil two weeks ago, but a second place in an earlier Open AFLA Qualifying tournament will put him in the Nationals. His success against stiff competition in the Open made him the only Crimson fencer to earn a national "B" rating. The ranking automatically qualifies him for the prestigious Martini-Rossi International Invitational at the New York Athletic Club in April...

And the permanent staff of 35 or 40, which has whatever is left of the power, is appointed by the president. It is true that the national congress--one voting delegate from each member college--elects the president, its choice, critics say, is rigidly limited.
