dining hall will in all probability
continue,- Mr. Richard Johnson,
dining hall manager, announced
today.
Student Council negotiations
brought about this innovation last
December. February has been a

Students Getting Aid
Must File New Forms
Students who expect to receive
financial aid from Southwestern
during the 1963-64 session must file
an application blank and financial
statement with Mrs. Peterson in
the Office of Student Records not
later than March 30, Dean of Admissions Taylor Reveley announced
today.
Also, all students who receive
more than the $100 honorary award
or tuition credit must file a new
Parents' Confidential Statement.
Previouslya nevParents' form was
required only froito students asking
for increased amounts in aid.
Reapplication for aid by filing
the above forms is necessary for
consideration by the Committee on
Student Aid, Dean Reveley emphasized.
Two plans for changing the form
of religious chapel services are being studied by the Committee on
Convocations and Religious Life, a
member of the committee announced today.
The first plan, worked out by
Dean Jameson Jones, calls for one
compulsory student assembly each
week, plus two voluntary worship
services. Another plan proposed by
Dr. John Henry Davis consists of
a "daily office" form of worship
to be held in the dormitory chapels
several times each day, with students "expected" to attend three
times a week.
According to the spokesman, the
purpose of these plans is to attempt
to provide an opportunity for
meaningful worship which will suit
the needs of this particular student community. The spokesman
added, however, that wide differences of:opinion make hopes of a
solution satisfactory to student
members of the committee improbable.
Problems involved in working
out a solution include the need for
provision for outside speakers and
inadequate chapel facilities.
Award-winning

Upon my completion of the reading of your article, Reveley: What
HDC
Both the Publications Board and the Student
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE
ESTABLISHED 1919
to Write?, February 22 edition, I felt acute irritation. The following is
a criticism, not given in the spirit of malice or contempt, but as a
constructive guide to aid you in any future attempts to write "literary
swan-songs" for "close friends."
Your style of laud has a clearly marked negativism about it. To say
that "it is now fitting that an editorial be written which extols and
praises Dean Reveley" is ludicrous, for such a fact is only too obvious,
almost unconsciously inferred after years of supposed "social grace"
enculturation. Furthermore, because you so unwittingly made the
statement "not merely to fill up newspaper space, or because it
is expected," is a strong implication directed at your true motive for
writing the article. It is not a good policy to "plant the seeds of doubt"
in your reader's mind unless you are an able propagandist.
Permit me to bring to your attention this particular sentence:
"What can be said about Dean Reveley that has not been said already
about hundreds of equally capable men?" My good Sir, your editorial
is not about hundreds of other men for whom we hold no especial
endearment, but rather about one Dean Reveley who has an individualistic, unique, and pleasing personality. And to say "He is not the first
professor who was never too busy to help out students . . . nor the first
man to throw himself so completely into his work ... ," is downright
obnoxious as to the degrading implication which the sentence engenders.
Your closing paragraph was the epitome of unkindness, if not of
injustice. In the first place, who is concerned-or seemingly thankful"that there have been, are, and will be many other men like Dean
Ieveley?" In my opinion, Dean Reveley has made a significant contribution to our institution. And to say as a closing statement that it is
to be hoped "that when he (some individual) retires we will be tempted
to apply the same trite and sentimental phrases to him" is repugnant.
And yes, "we" should be used with the greatest of care in an editorial;
as for your closing comment afore-quoted, speak for yourself-I share
no part of your aspirations!
It is true that our sentimental phrases are trite, but they are
time-honored nonetheless. Give credit WHERE credit is due; you have
not exhibited "literary grace" in exercising a social grace.

Council Constitutional Revisions
:May Have Far-Reaching Import
By JACQUELYN DOWD
The organization and action of
next year's student government
may be greatly affected by the
work of a committee now in the
process of revising the Student
Council Constitution.
Tommy Durff is chairman of the
committee. Other members are Lee
Marshall, Oliver Dickens, Wayne
Goldsworthy, and Thurman Ragar.
They will meet several times each
week, rewording and revising different parts of the document, then
presenting their work at that
week's Council meeting. After the
Council amends and accepts the
new Constitution, it will be submitted to a vote of the whole
student body.
The first change, reported Tuesday afternoon at Student Council
meeting by Tommy Durff, reflects
a new orientation for student government on this campus. In the
present preamble the Constitution
is established to provide for "student welfare, organization of student activities, and student govern-
ment"; in revised form it will
"effect an organization for student
self-government, (and) promote an
exchange of ideas among students
and between students and the administration . ."
Formerly the student government was established "under the
authority delegated by the college
administration." In the new Constitution the students form a government in order "to assume all
responsibilities and powers possessed by them in our capacity as
students"; in other words, the authority by which their government
is formed is not delegated by the
administration but inherent in their
rights as students.
These are changes in wording
only, but they are written out of
a new context, a new and broader
view of student government. Other
clauses, such as the method for
overruling a measure adopted by
the Council, are expecting .to engender more controversy.
Why Harry Can't Read
Following the publication of statistics on
grade averages for the past semester, there has
been some speculation concerning possible
causes for the failure of the freshmen men to
average over a "2-point." A quick glance at
records showed this to be the first such failure
in five years.
At the same time there were observations
by upperclassmen to the effect that there
exists on campus a small segment of freshmen
men totally unassimilated by the college atmosphere who tenaciously maintain a large
majority of their high-school attitudes and
manners. It was further observed that these
same students contribute to the school only
in the field of athletics, primarily football. It
was then asked. whether the admission board
had begun to relax admission requirements
in order to obtain both a larger male student
body and athletic teams able to compete more
effectively in the newly formed College Athletic Conference.
By examination of statistical comparisons
and of current policy this explanation has
been shown absolutely unfounded.According to the statistics available to the
Committee on Admissions prior to selection
of the freshman class, this group of boys was
equal to in all respects and superior in some
to last year's class which produced a 2.069 for
the first semester. When asked about possible
recruitment tactics Dr. Taylor Reveley stated
that there was definitely no conscious move
in this direction, adding that in most cases the
Board is accused of being much too restrictive
in academic requirements.
When asked for comment on the disciplinary actions taken this year in
comparison
with others, C. I. Diehl, Dean of Men, stated
that no significant difference had been noted,
the only real problem brought to his attention
being excessive noise and commotion in the
halls of first floor Bellingrath. Dean Diehl
further stated that it was his opinion that
the difficulty of the freshmen men arose from
their failure to realize that they were no
longer in high school and a lack of resolve to
settle down to regular study.
Perhaps with one of every six-freshmen on
probation and with one of every two fraternities below the all-men's average, a much
needed period of settling and maturing will
come forth to redeem a pretty sorry showing.

NSA COLUMN
Student Organizations Common to Most Nations;
Rift Between IUS-ISC Reflects World Tension
By THE NSA COMMITTEE
Just as the United States National Student Association tries to
give notice internationally to the
feelings of American
students,
there are organizations in other
nations made up of students who.
are interested in political and social
issues.
Importance of Groups
Not all of them are as efficient,
well-established, or representative
as USNSA, but most try sincerely
to express the ideals, fears, and aspirations of their student constituents.
The Congress of Cypriot Students
represents those studying abroad in
Greece and the British Isles, but
it is the most representative organization for Cypriot students.
The headquarters of the General
Union of Jordanian Students is in
Cairo, Egypt. In several countries,
such as Colombia, Iran, and Ceylon, there are conflicting groups,
each claiming to represent the nation's students. The older Western
democracies have more stable and
broadly-based groups. In general,
student organizations reflect the
conditions of their respective home
countries.
International Meetings
The various National Unions
around the world meet periodically
to exchange ideas and forge opinion on issues involving the interests of students. There are two international organizations; the International Student Conference, of
which USNSA is a member, and the
International Union of Students.
Some National Unions are members of both, and several who are
members of one send observers to
the conventions of the other.
The IUS is dominated by Iron
Curtain students; 95% of its budget
comes from these groups, and its
president is a middle-aged man
from Czechoslovakia who has such
influence that his hint will end
lively discussion on a question and
yield an immediate unanimous vote.
Discussion and minority rights in
its conventions are sacrificed for
an emotional unity.
Agreement Is Key
In admission of members, representation is sacrificed for agreement; for example, in the IUS India is represented by a group with
fewer than 10,000 adherents out of
a million Indian students. Such
obviously partial actions as condemning American and French nuclear tests while ignoring contemporaneous Soviet blasts contrast
sharply with the deliberate, impartial, democratic, and calm procedures of the ISC.
This deep and significant split
in the student world is a result and
symptom of the political, economic,
military, and ideological cleavage
between East and West, and there
is. no foreseeable hope for organizational unity of the world's national student federations.

Streit Talks 'Atlantic Union' to SW Students;
Compares Concept to 1789 Federation of U.S.
Clarence K. Streit, famous for his
concept of Atlantic Union, told
Southwestern students of the need
for and basic details of his plan for
,a political federation of the NATO
allies Tuesday in chapel and in in-formal question and answer periods
in Dr. David Amacker's Interna-tional Studies classes,
Similar to American Union,
He compared the problems of Atlantic federation with those that
the thirteen American colonies
faced in forming the first federal
union in 1787, and stated his belief
that the problems faced by Americans in geographical separation
and communication were greater
to American unity than language
and cultural barriers are today to
a federation of Atlantic states.
Streit also defended DeGaulle,
believed by many to envision a
united Europe dominated by himself and France, without ties with
English-speaking countries. Streit
stated that DeGaulle was a great
man, lacking in the selfishness the
U.S. has attributed to him, and that
his actions are based on the belief
that the U.S. is not willing to risk
ties stronger than the NATO
agreement, and will not risk the
dangers involved in protecting Europe.
Concept Makes Progress
"The idea of Atlantic Union has
made enormous progress," asserted
Streit. "The Common Market is an
example. It holds together peoples
who have been at war with each
other three times in the last century-who we thought would never
get along together. But their amazing economic success has caused us
to make drastic changes in our own
trade policy."
Streit predicted that Governor
Rockefeller of New York, who put
forward federalism as the only answer to the West's problems, will
make more and more of an issue of
Atlantic Union as the 1964 presidential campaign draws nigh.
Will Take Time
Readily admitting that a federation could not be accomplished
overnight, Streit pointed out .that
the Common Market countries were
spending fifteen years to make necssary economic adjustments, and
that Atlantic Union would have to
evolve by the same slow process.
"But the basic thing," he stated,
"is deciding what kind of unit we
want as the basis of organization
of an Atlantic community (the
state or the citizen). We can, after
making up our minds on this elementary question, form a convention and turn over to them the
problems of working out a transi-

tion into defensive, economic and
political unity."
State or Citizen
In further explaining the importance of deciding on the basic unit
of organization, Streit stated that
if the state were the basic entity,
as in an alliance, each nation
would have as a sole purpose the
protection of itself, and would
maintain the right not to act with
the other states if it preferred not
to.
"But if the citizen were the basic
unit," he continued, "the end of
the federation thus formed would
be to advance the life, liberty, and
happiness of each individual. Representatives would be apportioned
by population, but each individual
state's integrity would be preserved
in a Senate similar to that of the
U.S. It would be as in the birth of
the United States, where the Virginian remained a Virginian and

In the Lenten services the sermon will not be .emphasized, but

NEWEST CRAZE
Broom Hockey Sweeps Over Campus;
Loss of Equipment May Prove Fatal
Southwestern's newest sport may
vanish into oblivion before it even
gets into full swing.
"Hall hockey," or "broom hockey"
if you prefer, first came to Southwestern in the spring of 1960 when
the game was played in the corridors of Stewart Hall, whence its
name. In January of this year, the
game was revived in the more spacious Kappa Sig living room and.
future matches, if any, will probably be played in the gym.
Brooms Confiscated
But trouble struck over the se'mester holidays. The teams' entire
supply of brooms, which are. used
to play the game instead of hockey.
sticks, was confiscated. Without
equipment, participants in Southwestern's answer to phone-booth
stuffing and laundromat spinning
are destitute.
The object of the game, according to reports, is to propel a tennis
ball into the opponents' goal, using
only a broom. Other than this,
there are few rules.
Chance for Title?
Dick Dewoody, reputed to be the
president of the Broom Hockey
Association, pointed out that Southwestern had a wonderful chance
of walking off with the national
championship until someone walked
off with seventeen of the players'
brooms. Southwestern's title
chances seemed to stem mainly
from the fact that no other schools
were expected to enter the tourney.
Broom hockey's reincarnation followed an abortive attempt to establish "balloon ball" as the official campus pastime last October.
This game, a combination of handball and volleyball, which is played
while sitting in a chair, caught on
rapidly at first, but died out after
a few weeks.

Twonkey Crimscott was a professor. Choate Sigafoos was a
sophomore. Twonkey Crimscott was keen, cold, brilliant.
Choate Sigafoos was loose, vague, adenoidal. Twonkey Crimscott believed in diligence, discipline, and marking on the curve.
Choate Sigafoos believed in elves, Julie London, and thirteen
hours of sleep each night.
Yet there came a time when Twonkey Crimscott-mentor,
sage, and savant-was thoroughly outthought, outfoxed, outmaneuvered, outployed, and outwitted by Choate Sigafoos,
sophomore.
-

/-
.
It happened one day when Choate was at the library studying
for one.of Mr. Crimscott's exams in sociology. Mr. Crimscott's
exains were:murder-plain, flat murder. They consisted of one
hundred questions, each question having four possible answers
-A, B, C, and D. You had to check the correct answer, but the
trouble was that the four choices were so subtly shaded, so
intricately worded, that students more clever by far than Choate
Sigafoos were often set to gibbering.
So on this day Choate sat in the library poring over his
sociology text, his tiny brow furrowed with concentration, while
all. around him sat the other members of the sociology class,
every one studying like crazy, every one scared and pasty.
Choate looked sadly at their stricken faces. "What a waste!"
he thought. "All this youth, this verve, this bounce, chained to
musty books in a musty library! We should be out singing and
dancing and cutting didoes on the greensward! Instead we
are-here."
Then, suddenly, an absolute gasser of an idea hit Choate.
"Listen!" he shouted to his classmates. "Tomorrow when we
take the exam, let's all-every one of us-check Choice 'A' on
every question-every one of them."
"Huh?" said his classmates.
"Oh, I know that Choice 'A' can't be the right answer to
every question," said Choate. "But what's the difference? Mr.
Crimscott marks on the curve. If we all check the same answers, then we all get the same score, and everybody in the class
gets a 'C'."
"Hmm," said his classmates.
"So why should we knock ourselves out studying?" said
Choate. "Let's get out of here and have a ball!"
So they all ran out and lit Marlboro Cigarettes and had a
ball, as indeed, you will too when you light a Marlboro, for if
there ever was a cigarette to lift the spirit and gladden the
heart, to dispel the shades of night, to knot up the ravelled
sleeve of care, to put spring in your gait and roses in your
cheeks, it is filtered Marlboros-firm and pure and fragrant and
filled with rich, natural, golden tobacco. And, what's more, this
darlin' smoke comes in soft packs that are actually soft and
flip-top boxes that actually flip.
Well sir, the next morning the whole class did what Choate
said, and, sure enough, they all got 'C's, and they picked Choate
up and carried him on their shoulders and sang "For He's a
Jolly Good Fellow" and plied him with sweetmeats and Marlboros and girls and put on buttons which said "I DOTE ON
CHOATE."
But they were celebrating too soon. Because the next time
shrewd old Mr. Crimscott gave them a test, he did not give
them one hundred multiple choice questions. He only gave
them one question-to wit: write a 30,000 word essay on
'Crime Does Not Pay."
"You and your ideas," they said to Choate and tore off his
epaulets and broke his sword and drummed him out of the
school. Today, a broken man, he earns a living as a camshaft
in Toledo.
