The' life of a book reviewer
doesn't have to be especially un
eventful. For instance, a couple
weeks ago I opened a review
with the statement that "you
u-niiMn'l have to look far to find
someone who would agree that
history is the dullest suDjeci in
ths li'nr 1H " The result a visit
from a faculty member which,
I'm happy to be ante to repon,
was kept on a friendly and pleas
ant level.
A week or so aco I oresented
an oral book review to a PTA
group. The book which I re
viewed, Peace of Soul, by Fulton
J. Sheen (Humanities Reading
Room), was, to me, an inter
esting enough book, and I thought
that it should appeal to my au
dience. I shudder to recall the
negative impression the review
had on 95 percent of the group.
What was wrong, I haven't yet
quite figured out, but I'm certain
that something was wrong. The
book itself is really worth read
ing. Could it have been the
speaker?
On a recent occasion, it was

ceived with heartv enthusiasm in the first performance in
1Q4R the concert has become an event to which students
and faculty members look forward to each year. Under the
baton of George Anderson, instructor in brass instruments,
40 students will present the 1950 brass choir concert Thurs
day night. Students and instructors will enjoy thoroughly
the performance with its stirring brass timbre and contrast
to regular orchestral and symphonic band concerts.
With students it's not the Square Deal or the New Deal
Br the Fair Deal, but so many of our class-goers seem to
think that, each and every time they receive a grade they
are getting the worst kind of a Raw Deal. Never satisfied
tith their marks they continually pester their instructors
and readers with moaning and complaints. Naturally, it is
within the instructor's realm of duty to see that students
are graded fairly, that errors in grading are remedied that
students are fully informed on where they have made mis
takes. But the amount of quibbling over marks is pot com
mensurate with the degree to which grading errors are
made. In spite of the hoards of students who rush up to the
professor after class and who come rapping at his office

whv not get staged on this
series while the ink is still
fresh? Or bring it to a conva
lescing friend.
The color of the picture may
vary, depending upon which side
of the fence you stand. Ive
found a review of Walter 'Bedell
Smith's MY THREE YEARS IN
MOSCOW (Social Studies Rid
ing Room), in a magazine titled
"Soviet Russia Today." I wish I
could quote the entire review,
but space doesn't permit. The
following paragraph is repre
sentative, however, and should
suffice to give you an idea of
the flavorful color of the review.
"While this book Is osten
sibly a record of the activity
about Improvement of our re
lations with the Soviet I'nlon.
in reality it Is a tale of how
the Ambassador set about not
doing his job and how he com
pensated for this by rewriting
all the standard anti-soviet
slanders, putting them Into the
diplomatic poucn nrsi, mm
I serializing them afterwards."
That wasn't my impression of
i the book at all. I don't like to
i think that Walter Bedell Smith
is guiltv of having taken such
I liberties" with the truth or having
used his position as an oppor
tunitv for personal aggrandize
ment. His guilt would make m

As vou may have noticed, the
! tone of this column is a little dif
ferent from those that have pre
ceded it. I'm wondering whether
vou like this approach any bet
ter. The response to the straight
book reviews that have been pre
! sented in earlier columns has
! been disappointing.
If vou prefer reading this type
i of column, I'll be pleased to
! write it in this fashion every
I week or so. If not, I'll revert to
straight reviews. At any rate,

Students at the University of
Syracuse thought they were sus
picious signers too, but that was
before The Daily Orange, student
newspaper, thought up its peti
tion poll.
Fake Petition
The petition circulated read:
"We. the undersigned, so signify
we favor the elimination of final
examinations for seniors, the
grade for seniors during then
last semester in the university to
be based on regular class work.
Buried midway, in the petition
was the catch clause: "We there
fore agree to serve voluntarily
in a Georgia chain gang for five
years at hard labor unless the
administration agrees to our de
mand for elimination of final
examinations for seniors.
The administration did not
take action on the proposition
and The Daily Orange came out
with "Georgia Here they
Come."
Signers
Among those who signed were
a campus editor, the leader of a
campus peace movement, one oi
the "big 4" on the steering com
mittee and the president of one
of the classes. .
nn vnn mind if I read this
petition over first?" the campus
editor had asked. "Last year I
signed something or other for the
removal of roofs from houses, so
now I'm careful what I sign."
The editor then signed the
paper. .
A sophomore sorority girl w-as
approached. She read the peti
tion, then sinned it. The girl
handed it to her roommate, who
signed it without reading the
type written petition. Said the
first girl:
"Whv don't you read what vou
sign? Bov, I never sign any tiling
I don't read I'm not going to
get hooked."
Nebraska Experiment
It would be an interesting ex
periment at Nebraska if the
following petition could be
passed bv the AWS board, as
suming that the noble body, like
most students, does not read
petitions.
"We. the undersigned, feel,
that due to extenuating circum
stances, beyond our control, but
a means of detriment to the
University as a whole, due to its
complex nature, complex circum
stances, complex plan, complex
structure and complex complica

not be restricted to 10:30 nightv
We hereby request complete re
