Senator Don Taylor suggestedthat the Senate work to "drawsomething out of people as in-dividuals and as college students."The Alpha Delta Phi represent-ative said this might be accom-plished if the Senate were to takea more active role in promotingand sponsoring social and culturalevents on campus.

Taylor believes the student gov-ernment should limit its attentionto college affairs, although he saidthe Bir Zeit book drive was aworthwhile departure from thisrule. He warned that the organi-zation should not get "wound upwith heavy things," questioningWhether the college senator wascapable of dealing w i t h suchissues.

Interest In YourselfThe Senate should, "stimulate a

more•-_ well-rounded interest" hicampus affairs, Taylor contended,saying that "'interest in your owncollege is interest in yourself.", Senator Bruce Hill believes thatthe Senate in the coming yearshould direct its' attention to elim-.inating the compulsory chapel re-quirement. Nothing, he said, hasbeen done about this in the pastby the Senate.

Hill, w h e n questioned as towhether the Senate would followup the survey made by the pre-sent Senate, replied that the Sen-ate should only take actions, onthe , various recommendations ifhey fall within the realm ofSenate authority. Within Senateauthority he. included improvingcampus organizations and rela-tions between student and teach-ers, .

The Evaluation he felt wouldbe'" a guidebook for this year anda number of years to come."

Huntington who sold Tropic afterState Attorney John La Belle de-cided that the sale of Tropic viol-ated the "Obscene Literature andPictures Statute." In lieu of ajury trial Judge Frank Covellowill pass judgment.

Miller PropheticRichard Wilbur, Wesleyan Uni-

versity English Professor, 1957Pulitzer Prize winning poet, in histestimony declared that Miller'suse of four letter words is "liter-ary strategy." Wilbur went on todescribe Miller as a "propheticand revolutionary novelist" hi hiswork about an expatriate in theslums of Paris.

Wilbur .added, that Miller who,he thinks is "a snob," is one ofsome contemporary authors who"want to change the world."

On the following day Dr. The-odore Powell, councilman, author,and public relations consultant tothe State D e p t. of Educationcountered t h a t Miller in Tropicmakes it a "diatribe against sex. . . makes it repulsive, offensive,and obscene."

Most Obscene"Using the dictionary term of

obscenity as a yardstick," saidPowell, "This is the most obscenebook I've ever read." Edson MBailey, teacher at the Universityof Hartford, testified that even ifall the four letter words werechanged to acceptable E n g l i s hwords, the book would still beobscene. "Ninety per-cent (of it)is obscene," he declared. "No liter-ary value at all." He concludedhowever, that men can seriouslydisagreee about such a work.

There has not been a very greatconcern about this matter to otherparts of the state and in this city.Hartford is the only county inConnecticut that has banned thebook. In Hartford both of the Major papers have kept the storyoff the front page.

There have been several com-ments that the trial is being con-ducted with the utmost dignityto prevent the proceedings frorrturning into a circus.

Unconcerned FacultyDr. Frederick Gwynn told th

Tripoa that there has not beenvery much interest among thfaculty members. Gwynn was ask-ed to testify, however, John F.Skelley, defense counsel has a!most completed his side of th"ease.

Gwynn, understandably, .coulinot comment on his reactions tithe trial or the book in case heshould have to testify.

In F r i d a y ' s proceedings, Dr .Norman Holmes Pearson, edu-cator Professor of English atYale University, stated, "The con-troversial, b o o k has a messagethat can be understood by theaverage reader who thinks as hereads." ,' • . , - . '

Four Letter WordsQuestioned about the four let-

ter words, Pearson replied that"he (Miller) was entitled to useany means that help him artistical-

ly to achieve his serious literarypurpose."

Judge Covello stressed duringthe proceedings that the mainpurpose in the trial was to judgethe "effects u p o n the averagereader in contemporary commun-ity."

Edwin G. Jackson, librarian olHartford Public Library, testifiedthat he had placed seven copiesin limited circulation to be givento those "(men), old enough tocarry a gun and (girls) oldenough to marry." He added thatthe "general problems of humannature," among those the stealingof books, made him place them,in limited circulation. With theban he withdraw them.

Hartford is not the only sceneof controversy about Tropic. Thebook is currently banned in partsof New Jersey, Illinois, RhodeIsland and Maryland. B o s t o n ,Dallas, Philadelphia, and Milwau--kee (in which Leslie Cross, acritic for the Milwaukee Journalexclaimed: "Tropic is r i b a l d ,buoyant, Caustic, . . . upliftinga n d endlessly companionable),have also banned the book.

In all, the book is subject toforty criminal prosecutions aroundthe country. In the f i r s t juryacquittal, in California's M a r i aCounty, eight women and fourmen found a country booksellerinnocent of violating state obscen-ity laws in selling the novel.

fUnsItikable Molly9 SoaksIn Success And Sables

BY JACK CHATFIELDNORTHHAMPTON, MASS., Feb.17—P o 1 i s h UN RepresentativeBohdan Lewandowski t o l d ana u d i e n c e in Smith College'sGreene Hall tonight that "anti-communism was blinding certaingroups in the West", and that thereal danger today was not Com-munism but nuclear war.

Referring to Poland as "mas-ter" of its "own house", he saidthat a confusion about the statusof socialist countries arises fromthe Western misconception t h a twhen a country adopts a socialisteconomic structure it automatical-ly "gets its line from .one center":Moscow.1 He said that socialist countriesI are similar in goals but not in sol-jutions to problems peculiar totheir own state.

More Or Less CatholicMr. Lewandowski was the sec-

ond-speaker in a Saturday nightprogram that featured both thePolish delegate and Milorad Boz-inovic, the First Secretary of theYugoslav Mission to the UN. Thetwo speakers participated in thethree-day Smith C o l l e g e Sym-posium on International Affairs.

Mr. Lewandowski, whose lecturedealt nominally with "A Commun-ist Country's Views on the Con-ditions for Independence", point-ed out that Poland was socialist

By MCK CANTORStill floating on those waves of

success is the versatile Miss "Un-sinkable Molly Brown" herself,Tammy Grimes. On the stage,Miss Grimes is the ebullient girl,Molly Brown, who sings, danceswrestles, plays the piano, antjokes with equal vitality.

This is the same Tammy Grimeswho received this reporter and a: tCrljioa photographer in her dress-ing room at the Bushnell sur-rounded in sable and wearing highred knee socks, flat shoes, andlarge dark sunglasses. We noticedthat only -the costume hadchanged for as Miss Grimes putft, "Molly is me." She quicklyadded, however, that "I'm notMolly."

After Miss Grimes' m a i dhanded her a lit cigarette and wehad each collapsed into our sepa-rate sofas, Miss Grimes reminisced about h ow she was se-lected, "The Unsinkable' MollyBrown." "I just walked inlo thetheatre and sang 'MelancholyBaby'—that's all." That was twoyears ago. Miss Grimes has beenportraying Molly ever since. Twoyears is a long time to-play one-role, Miss Gnmos reflected.

The Same songWhen asked whether singing

the same songs, and speaking thesame lines had tired her oi thepart, Miss Griines admitted thatthey had. She quickly added,however, that whatever the part•may bo, actresses aren't verygood about rouline and "gott i icl" •

Commenting on her interpreta-tion oi Molly Brown, Miss Grimesdescribed Molly as "a brave andsimple girl, Very Instinctive, notvery bright. Her inslinctivenoss it.valuable because most peoplearen't; only children and oldpeople. Old people have marvelousnaivete; children play cops androbbers and believe in it. Mos.tpeople lose that."

Reflecting upon her future,Miss Grimes stated that "The Un-sinkable Molly Brown" would goon tour, after leaving the Bush-neli, traveling to Toronto, Cleve-land, St. Louis, Denver and LosAngeles. "Then I'm through,'she commented gleeiully. Sinking,down into her chair, she addedblissfully, "I'd like to go half way'round the world, to the south otFrance, New Hampshire and. Idon't.know where. Then I'd liketo do another musical, but notanother ''Molly Brown."

Sounds Like McKennaMiss Grimes became quite

startled when we told her thatshe sounds very much like Siob-han MeKenna. "No, I do notsound at all like Siobhan McKen-na and I'm not influenced byher." To prove her point, MissGrimes gave us an excellent imi-tation of Miss McKenna thatwould have pleased even MissMcKenna.

Miss Grime's cigarette had be-come mostly ashes when we up-set her again by claiming that hersinging voice is 'reminiscent ofErtha Kitt. Miss Grimes didn'tbother to comment. "I can imi-tate her too," she said, and pro-ceeded • to entertain us with asong that only Eartha Kitt andTammy Grimes could sing sowell, and so alike. We heard theimpatient autograph hunters out-side the door. It was time toleave.

Alluding to the USSR, the, Polenoted that his country differedfrom that country in agrarian ec-onomy, religious faith (the major-ity of Poles, he said, were "moreor less" Catholic), parliamentaryrepresentation, and party struc-ture (the Polish Workers* Party,he said, was dominant, but di<inot "hold the m o n o p o l y onthings"). *

Mr, Lewandowski pointed putthat had Poland left its economicdevelopment to "normal economicpolicies", it would not have ad-vancfed very far past the "semi-feudal" system that existed be-fore World War II. He said thathe expected similarly deficientcountries in Africa, A'sia, andSouth America to utilize socialistmeans to relieve their staticeconomy.

Blocs DetrimentalMr. Bozinovic, representing neu-

tralist Yugoslavia, spoke on thestatus of an independent nationin "an interdependent world".

Tagging blocs as "detrimental",he said that non-aligned nationsbelieved in "co-existence amongstates, not among blocs". He

cited the recent Punte del Esteconference as a testimony thatblocs sometimes cannot coordinatetheir beliefs and arrive at com-munal decision.

He said that non-aligned nationsoften appear "to belong to theother side" but that "the fluctu-ations and changes of countrieswithin blocs" were in strong con-trast to the "more consistent" at-titude of neutralists,

Mr. Bozinovie- concluded thatthe success of independent nationslay in an interdependence throughstrict observance of the UN char-ter.

Senate DirectionWhat is a college'Senate ? Is it a

lollipop of campus life on which thepolitical children of the school canlick their tender tongues ?. Is it awheeling bureaucracy whose primepurpose is to allocate funds to thevarious campus organizations?" Oris a college senate the ' apex of theschool, serving as a stimulus and en-courager of student activities and asa reflector and sounding board of iii-fomied student concern on campusissues?

This year Trinity's senate has em-braced all three definitions. Like itsmany predecessors, this year's Senatehas had its smiling', blissfully naivemembers "who just enjoy beingsenators. This year, too, the Senatehas maneuvered through the usualmorass of financial allocations. Butth is year the senate, primarily be-cause of the effective leadership ofArthur McNulty, has broadened itsscope to include the third • definitionof a Senate. • '.v •

The Senate under Arthur McNultyundertook a campus evaluation and

' stood against fraternity discrimina-tion.^ The importance of the Senatediscrimination stand was most read-ily seen by the effect that it had inmoving what is usually considered animmobile body—the trustees of Trin-ity College. . ;

The significance of the campusevaluation has yet to be felt. Havingread the report which will soon beavailable to the campus, we wouldsay that the thoroughness of theundertaking could effect profoundlythe nature of the College. For thesetwo accomplishments: alone theSenate under Arthur McNuulty maybe looked back upon as a Senate inwhich the students (themselves brokethe ground to make' Trinity a bettercollege.

The steps taken by the Senate inthe past year, however, have not allbeen towards a broadening of

- scope. The resolution recently passedby the Senate forbidding discussion.,of national and international affairscan only be regarded as ' a step re-pressive'to the ' free " atmosphere inwhich student discussion can take^place.

We do not feel that national issuesshould necessarily be discussedopenly on the Senate floor, for,

without proper preparation, consid-eration of national and international

.issues could conceivably turn into a/ travesty.

We however, believe, that consid-eration of national and internationalissues, beyond the level of classroom discussions, bull sessions, andtext book treatment, is essential ifTrinity men are to understand andappreciate and direct after beinggraduated. We are presently in theTripod attempting to provoke stu-dents, to a greater awareness ofworld affairs, but our columns alonecannot possibly include, much lessdiscuss definitively, all importantworld issues. The student must beencouraged to continue and expandhis interest in these issues. This en-couragement can best come from theSenate.

The Senate should encourage thoseelements of the Trinity communitywhich do consider national issues.The Senate, for example, could aidthe Political Science club by helpingthem secure lecturers. The Senatemight also begin sponsoring lecturesby men informed in current affairs.Such a sponsorship would be a stepin improving the generally poorer andscattered lectures heard at Trinity.(That of John Mason Brown was apleasant exception.) The Senate in itscampus evaluation has shown it isconcerned about the acedemic com-munity. We would hope it will con-tinue to show concern by not onlyfollowing through on the recommend-ations made in the .survey, but alsoby stimulating and encouraging stu-dent thought.

The next Senate of Trinity Collegecan continue to expand its scope inorder to achieve the fullest definitionof an effective college student gov-ernment—the apex of the school,serving as a stimulus and eneouragerof student activities and as a reflec-tor and sounding board for informedStudent opinion—or it can regress toa state of mundane bureaucraticpettiness and political childishness.

The character, and perhaps eventhe very: existence, of future Senatesmay be determined by the quality ofthose elected Tuesday. We urge theelectorate, shackled though it is withan apolitical contest, to do its best

ConversationNo time. No time for it.Nothing to talk of. Nothing to talk

Local Or National

Campus GovernmtWhen viewed as a small blemish on the face of a world pockmarked

ments, at several of the more prominent colleges in the country deserves 1to this trend—the turn to more effective local student government and tigaining its impetus from the new "political groups" appearing on America:governments. ' N

Bothered by the pettiness, rmm-~dane concerns and general in-efficiency of the Student Board,the undergraduate government atColumbia, students at that collegedecided last May 18 by a voteof 935-167 to let its charter expireon January 1, in effect deposingthe Board without replacing it.After seventy years of studentgovernment, Columbia found it-self without any representativebody or any prospect for one inthe near future. A proposal fora new 23-member student assem-bly to replace the now defunct 11-member Student Board, failed ina three-day referendum late inDecember by a vote of 690-378.

An editorial in the ColumbiaDaily Spectator observed:

"Representative student govern-ment has been voted out of exist-ence at Columbia College, but itsdefeat was not just at the handsof the hundreds of students whoflocked to the polls in the lastthree days:"

Administration Responsible"The University administration

is largely responsible for thedeath of S. B., although somefunctionaries now express concernand shock. For the administrationrarely listened to the demands .ofS. B., making it the ineffectivebody it was."

Fred M. Hechinger, in an arti-cle in the New York Times (Feb.4, 1962, observed that the Stu-dent Board was "the victim ofalleged political scandals and anoverwhelming vote of no-confi-dence." Ever since 1959 when theSpectator "exposed what it • calledthe worst case of election fraudin the college's history," includingthe stuffing of ballot boxes, linger-ing conflicts predicted the demiseof the Student Board.

Finally, according to the Specta-tor, the Board's bickering over anominating petition that had beensubmitted four minutes late ledto the referendum calling for thevote of May 18.

Lack of Confidence. Columbia's alumni magazinecited the lack of confidence onthe part of the dean's office thatgave the Board no more than asemblance of power as a deter-mining factor. The Spectator re-ported that "S. B. had lost statureduring the year as it lost in skir-mishes with the administration."

Students feel that the voicingof their opinions can be hardlyless effective than that of thegeneral population. And more im-portant, most students feel thattheirs perhaps is a better In-

formed voice. But on campus,Hechinger explains, "administra-tions often pay little more thanlip service to student governments'importance and not infrequentlytreat it as a nuisance."

Can this then explain the trendaway from student government, ifsuch a trend, truly does exist?Can this not be an explanation for•jthe sudden rise in importance ot"active groups" on campus, ofgroups interested in other thanmerely local college affairs?

Revolt At Brown; At Brown University this pastJanuary, during a revolt againstthe undergraduate government in-stitutions, the president-of thestudent court recommended thatthe court be abolished. The stu-dent government agreed andpassed such a resolution, now sub-ject to ratification.

Hechinger reported that the stu-dent council president felt thatthe court was not able to serveany useful purpose because ofits limited and hazy jurisdictionand the lack of business. "Stu-dents in trouble," Hechinger ex-plained, "had a choice of askingfor a trial by the court or re-porting to the dean of students."

Need For ResponsibilityAre these merely representa-

tives of what Hechinger calls theconversion from "single-body stu-dent government into legislativeand executive bodies, partly insearch of a more efficient ad-ministration?" Or are they alsoindicative of internal changes onthe campus, of the recurring needfor responsibility and an outletfor student opinion?

Hechinger quotes Scott Keecha spokesman for the National Stu-dent Association, as saying thatthe active groups on the collegecampuses number no more than3-5 per cent "about'the same per-centage as in adult society." Butat least they are emerging with ahinterest in issues, says Keech, ob-serving that civil rights, domesti-cally, seems to be the rallyingcause. He added, "that revivedundergraduate concern with na-tional and international problemshas turned students outward —away from campus government tothe country and the world. Stu-dent 'political parties' are begin-ning to overshadow student gov-ernment." ; •••:•

Is this an astute observation,or is it merely the rationalizationof a man interested in proving theimportance of his group, inter-ested in proving the value of the

Apropos of the syllogism inyour editorial of February 12, Iwish to offer another syllogism ofidentical form. It has, I think youwill agree, true premises, and itmust therefore have—to the greatdeMght of. Senators Dpdd and Tow-er, T am sure—a true conclusion.

The Soviet Union is becomingmore progressive,

The Soviet Union is engagedin undermining the U.N.

Therefore, to become moreprogressive is to engage in un-dermining the U.N.

itudents seem to want theto pressure the adminis-

, to assert itself more onisues like dining-hall hourslayed rushing. "This is thelinant issue in the up-; election," he said. The de-low raging over delayed* seems to be the students'jreoccupation. "If nQt forue," Fiske ventured, "may-

students would be moreil-minded. But as it is, noare taken by the senate."

lues, when they do happenie, are handled by specificttees, such as the N.S.A.ittee of the C.B. Senate.Schroeder, president of the

it body, observed that "Wes-has been quite active in

rights for some time, butjh groups not closely re-;o the Senate." He explained'rightly or wrongly, mostlook to the Senate as a

of pressure group to focusit discontent against the ad-,tration." There is a definitejf concern for the Senate3l with issues. It has madeps such as inviting a na-officer of N.S.A. to talk

;udents and national affairsbringing "Operation Abo-' to Wesleyan to sparkinterest in the HUAC prob-

lem. "But nothing really concreteever came out of this."

When asked what he thoughta Senate should concern- itselfwith, Schroeder suggested that "itshould try to move into a moreclose-knit relationship with theadministration and the board oftrustees to accept more responsi-bility for regulating student af-fairs and working out studentproblems. But is should also tryto promote political discussion andactivate campus thought, althoughit should not pre-empt this field."

Resurging RenaissanceIn contrast to the plight of the

Wesleyan Senate, after years ofdecline in concern for student gov-ernment at Amherst, there, seemsto be a "resurging Renaissance,"Bob Goldberg, editor oi the Am-herst Student, observed in a con-versation with the Tripod.

A growing feeling of useless-ness among the student repre-sentatives has led to the forma-tion of a student committee tothe faculty, a part of the regularstudent council, as a partner inplanning the future. "This commit-tee has been taking stands," saidGoldberg, "such a undertaking ab u i l d i n g program with thefaculty." •

Another group, a council Am-herst formed with Smith,. Mt.Holyoke and U. Mass., has alsobeen effective by encouragingsuch things (addition to bettersocial r e 1 a t i on s among theschools) as a peace corps semi-nar, a charted flight to Europe,and a cooperative book exchangewhere students can sell snd buybooks through a middle-man^ fora nominal price.

"On Local levels* "The only specific stands that

the student- council has taken,though, have been on locallevels," commented Goldberg,"We are a member of the N.S.A.,but not to represent the schoolon national issues, only as aclearing h o u s e for interestedgroups,"

At Williams, the picture seemsto be a different one entirely."Not only is our student govern-ment unconcerned with nationalissues — it takes no position atall — it. is relatively, ineffectiveon local issues also," John W. Kif-ner, editor of the Williams Rec-ord, informed the Tripod. "It ismore of an administrative body.Any local agitation is acted onoutside the regular channels ofthe student government."

Jolin Joibeles&, news editor of the

Kecord, told the Tripod that thereare ' some students interested inissues, but they are so scarce that"any sort - of sympathy with anissue here would be met withapathy and scorn if the rest couldmuster up enough feeling toscorn. The situation is astound-ing." . • ,

Stone Wall"There is a stone wall here

that prevents any kind of action,"he added. There was some in-terest in the peace march, butonly eight or ten students wereinvolved, "so we didn't go —sending one carload is ridicu-lous."

It is significant to note thatwhile only eight students of ajunior class of 275 registered torun for the seven positions opento that class in the student gov-ernment, more students than everhave tried out for dramatics andthe newspaper. This may verywell be the form that the trendin question has taken at Williams.Rather than bother to get in-volved with an ineffective studentgovernment or try to buck theopposition they would invariablyface, those students with ideasare finding outlets l'or them, inother fields.

Fred Hechinger observed in theTimes that "the answer appearsunmistakably that students areresponsive if they are consideredresponsible." On campuses wheremore responsibility has been giventhe students, the trend has beenfor the student governments "toassert themselves more on thelocal level, and in many cases, toassert themselves in wider areasor at least to ̂ encourage studentopinion in wider areas. Thereseem to be some students at allthe colleges mentioned who areinteresied in more than "petty,mundane campus affairs."

Questions r.c m a i n however.Muat these students act on theirown, or may they too be repre-sented in their views by the stu-dent governments? Is there roomfor national, international and lo-cal thinking as well? What abouta body like Trinity's Senate —where does it stand in this"trend," in which direction is Itheading? Can we feel we are ad-vancing, or are we merely justanother .college of ad hoc groups,is our senate just a clearingground for petty policy? As thepassage of time answers thesequestions, the fate of student gov-ernment will be decided.

The Editort, asks Camus, "How can av'e assasination committed at

in a prison courtyard beist the imponderable weak-of a foundling like Ben

I us make our position cleards point.3t as he must not toe damnednot.measuring up, he mustiplary? At most it serves theose of periodically informingjitize'ns that they will die ifhappen to kill—a future thatbe promised even to thosedo not kill.",d, Camus says: "The poweritimidalion reaches only the: individuals who are not-n toward crime and has not on the hardened ones whoto be softened."

nen electricity scorches Reid's• it will take his life and—asnsequence and almost as an•thought—will take his guilt,rill be nearly alone. The au-:e that savors that murderous

night will be there by invitationonly.

Again, Camus:"For capital punishment to be

really intimidating, human naturewould have to be different; itwould have to be as stable andserene as the law itself. But thenhuman nature would be dead."

Ours is an age in which vague,causes command the vividness ofdeath, death on an almost im-personal scale. Lest our dignityvanish, our souls wither and hu-man nature die, we must alwaysbe fiercely tormented when oneman dies.

We ask you to help us save alife.

. I should like to take issue withProfessor Bankwitz's statementto the effept that the process ofindustrialization opens a "Pan-dora's box to the winds of re-form" by the creation of pressurefor social efficiency which will"inevitably lead to greater, free-dom of thought and enquiry."

I do not believe that there isany necessary connection betweenindustrialization and the freedomof thought and enquiry. To thecontrary, it is precisely the factof modem technology that makestotalitarianism (total, undivided,all-embracing power) - possible.Instantaneous and mass methodsof communication, mass condi-tioning., techniques, the instantan-eous transmission of orders, theability to move force from onepoint to another at high speed,and the organization and con-trol techniques of industrial soc-iety are necessary to it.

UNITED WE STANDThe entire academic world is agog over the success of theAssociated Colleges Plan—ACP, for short. I nieaii, you go toany campus in the country these days and you will see studentsand faculty dancing on the green, blowing penny whistles,grabbing each other by the elbows and yelling, "About thatACP, Charley—like wow!"

And who can blame them? The ACP is a plan not only simplybrilliant, but also brilliantly simple. All it is, is a loose regionalfederation of small colleges. Let's say, for example, that in agiven region we have a. group of small colleges, each with itsown academic specialty. Small College No, 1, let's say, has a finelanguage department; Small College No. 2, let's say, has a finescience department; No. 3 has a fine music department; etc., etc.

Well sir, under the ACP these various' colleges federate. Astudent in any one of. the colleges can take courses in the spe-cialty of any of the other colleges and—here's tlie beauty part!—he will receive credit for the course at his home college. Thuslie enjoys all the advantages of a big university without losingthe comfy cozincss of a small college!

Well sir,.you can see what a good idea the ACP is, I respeefc-' fully submit, however, that just because a thing is good is noreasonnot to try to make it better. Like, for instance, MarlboroCigarettes. Marlboros were good from the very beginning, andpeople found out quickly and sales zoomed. But did the makersof Marlboro say, "Okay, we've got it made. Let's relax"?Well sir, if that's what you think, you don't know the makers!.They did not relax. They took their good Marlboros and keptimproving them. They improved the filter, improved the blend,improved the pack. They researched and developed tirelessly,until today Marlboro is just about the most admirable cigaretteyou can put a match to. There are, in fact, some people whofind Marlboros so admirable they can't bear to put a match tothem. They just sit with a single Marlboro in band and admireit for ten, twelve years on eiid. The maker? of Marlboro arc ofcourse deeply touched by this—except for E. Uennio Sigafoos,the sales manager.

But I digress. The ACP, I say, is good but it can be tetter.Why should the plan be confined to small colleges? Why shouldit be confined to a limited region? Why not include all collegesand universities, big and small, wherever they are?

Let's start such, a federation. Let's call it (he ''Bijrgei Asso-ciated Colleges To Encourage Richer Intellectual Activity"—BACTERIA, for short!'

What rt blight new woikl BACTERIA opens up. Take, forexample, a typical college student—ITiinraih Rigafoo1? (•)(»),incidentally, of the Marlboio pairs manager). Hunrath, a blightlad, is currently majoring in burley at the University of Ken-tucky. Under the BACTERIA plan, Hunrath could stay atKentucky, where, lie has made many friends, but at the sametime-broaden his vistas by taking a course in constitutional lawat Harvard, a course in physics at. Caltoch, a course in frostbiteat Minnesota and a course in poi at Hawaii!

I admit there are still a few bugs in BACTERIA. How, forinstance, could Hunrath attend a 9 o'clock class at Harvard,a 10 o'clock class at, Hawaii, an U o'clock class n(; Minnesota,and still keep his lunch date at, Kentucky? It would be idle todeny that this is a tricky problem, but I liave no doubt Americaningenuity will carry the day. Always remember how theylaughed at lMison and Fulton—and particularly at WalterClavicle who,invented the collarbone.

(Continued from Page 1)a great change for the better inliterature. But, he addect e v e nthat faces a threat today—thethreat of television and that "shot-gun coersion called education."

Many Tears On TVHaving appeared1 on television;

for many years—I'm practicallythe Lillian Gish of television"—Mr. Brown, realizes its great pos-sibilities but is appalled by its"threat to reading and writing.""One of the m o s t frighteningthings, in the world is what is hap-pening to communication. . . The*pool of silence so necessary forthought and contemplation . . .is assailed by the television."

I n education, explained Mr.Brown, the student: is forced toread. "What should be a pleasureis made an assignment and that'sone of. the best ways'to ruin amarriage!" "Some people have notalent for reading," he asserted.They do not .know when to skip."I'm too old for ropes but youngenough for books., . . I know thatthe fun of a good book . . . isinner privacy,, inner pleasure—itis savored." We must learn, hesaid, how to appreciate,"the sheerd e l i g h t of the employment oillanguage—it isn!.t the story; it isstyle."

Citing Salinger's The Catcher inthe Eye as one of these books, abook for the youne about "theemotions which churn them," Mr.Brown said, great writers havealways written about dilemmas,:despite the costumes or settingsof their books He urged all Writ-ters to be a l i t t l e l&e Shake-speare's King Lear,, to take uponthemselves "the m y s t e r y ofthings" as if they were "God'sspies.'

Mirrors Of Nature"I hope the young will get back

to this," he said, to using ThomasWolf's mirrors of nature—mirrorswhich "are windows which leadto the world outside"—rather than"lock into a vanity c a s e " andmerely reflect themselves.

Two of the greatest problems,of modern literature are those of"really excessive virtue" and "mis-uses of the pains of life." Citingthe literature surrounding RobertE. Lee as characteristic of theformer, Mr. Brown observed thatonly a poe t , Stephen VincentBinet, was able to humanize Mm,"to find the crack in the marfole."

• Holding up Peyton Place as anexample of the latter, Mr. Brownexplained, "Miss Metalious canwrite. She doesn't know where tostop!"

Ulysses, T.ady Chatterly's fcoverand Tropic ol Cancer, on the otherhand, are good nooks that haveb e e n "misunderstood." All ofthese h a v e been censored, butfortunately all have bean relievedof their bans.

Eternal ProblemsThe writer must write about

man's communicability and man'seternal problems. William Faulk-ner has said, "I believe that manWill not merely endure, he willprevail,'' beacuse of his soul andhis compassion. "This is w h a tWriters must do," insisted Mr.

FEB. 17—The Varsity mermensnapped their three game losingstreak here today, scoring a de-cisive 63-32 win over Renssalaer;Rick Ashworth accounted for twoof the' Slaughtermen's seven firstplaces as he walked off with wingin the 220 yard and 440 yard free-style events.

Dave Raymond, Ian Smith, BillKoretz and Dick Gooden kickedoff the Bantams streak of winsas they copped the 400 yard med-ley relay. Ashworth then scoredhis first win of the day, and JohnBurton and Ed Goodman placedone and two in the 50 yard free-style swim.

Brown, "help man prevail." Awriter must be a prop to helpman endure, not only a recorderof man's endurance. But if it isthe record with which he is con-cerned, "it must be true," it mustreflect man and his world, for'all writing is the betrayal of a

conscious or unconscious attitude"of an individual toward his world.

Koretz swamped two R.P.I,mermen in the ldo yard butterflyand Chris McNiel followed with asecond in the 100 yard freestyleevent. Raymond and Tom Shor-tell men touched out first andsecond in the 200 yard backstrokeswim. Bob Hevner placed thirdto Ashworth in the 440 yard free-style and Don McLagan took asecond in the 220 yard breast-stroke.

Bundy, Gooden, Goodman, andSteve Lockton made the day com-plete for the mermen as t h e yteamed up to cop the 400 yardfreestyle relay.

The Slaughtermen play host toAmherst on Wednesday afternoon,Feb. 21, and travel to Union Gol-lege on Friday. Amherst nowstands 4-5 on the season, whilethe Trinity mermen boast a 4-3record.

However, there was one difference between the two—a mighty big one at that. While Trinity, once behind by 30

To the spectator it certainly appeared as though Coach•MeWilliams had given up any hopes of a victory when heremoved several starters from- the game. Even after a fullcourt press by our makeshift second team had forced thevisitors to make several mistakes and left us a mere half.dozen points behind, our coach refused to get excited.
