Just A Thought
By Dave CalhounM
"The foundation of every state is the education of its
youth," Diogenes said centuries ago.
Wednesday this point, as well as many others on edu-
cation were driven home during the hour-long convoca-
tion speech by U. S. Supreme Court Justice William 0. 1
Douglas.
After it was over, a girl near me re
marked," He looked old enough to me my
marked, "He looked old enough to be my
man on the street, but when he started
talking, he changed into something like
a giant magnate that drew my attention
for every word of his speech."
This may be a little too melodrama
tic, but in essence it does describe the
speaker and his speech.
One thing was certain. Mr. Justice
Douglas didn't spare any words. He
made his Doints and quickly backed each
up with a barrage of facts and personal experiences.
To many, his views on Red China and India may have
been the most important topic discussed by the Justice.
However, to me, the continual return to the educated
American and his importance in the future, surpassed all.
The answer to many of the problems cited by Mr.
Douglas may be found in education.
During the convocation he noted the recent upsurge
In book exportation from Russia into the underdeveloped
countries of Southeast Asia. As he said, an Indian can buy
a book printed in Russia for the price of one cent. The
lowest priced book printed in the United States and dis
tributed in India is ten cents.
Continuing on the United States' lag in the linguistics
race, he said that Russia prints books for export in 68
different languages. Of these, there are 40 languages that
. aren't even taught in the UnitedJStates.
To further emphasize this lag to the audience, Doug
las continued, saying "Red China and Russia are pre
pared for export export of people."
Thousands of doctors, nurses and technicians are
sitting in Russia today "twidling their thumbs" just wait
ing for the government to send them into an underdevel
oped country. Could we do this? Not without education.
As the Justice put it, "We have arrived at a point of
world history where the fate of mankind lies in the bal
ance. We can no longer continue the status quo. We must
explore other methods such as law and diplomacy.
Education will play a vital role in the newly formed
Peace Corps and other movements of this type which will
come in time.
In order for the United States to increase its stand
ards with accord to the world competition, the people
must be willing to sacrifice. In sacrifice I mean not only
the all too important buck, but other sacrifices; the hours
of research by teachers, the hours of study by the stu
dents and the most important element, the hours of prac
tical application.
Before the conservative-minded citizen starts to add
up this new tax burden, it should be stated that there are
ways to build up this area without adding new burdens
on the average citizen.
Mr. Douglas noted one example; the fifty million dol
lars worth of jet planes given to Ethiopia in 1960. Surely
some of this money could be used to a better degree on
the people of a country which is 98 illiterate.
Whatever is done in this line in the future is not as
Important as what is being done today. For this reason,
I only wish Mr. Justice Douglas could have been able to
visit and speak before our State Legislature. Perhaps,
once again the importance of education could have been
impressed upon them.

For Faculty
Rating Today
The Student Council fac
ulty rating committee will
conduct a student poll to
day for use in the faculty
rating study the committee
is conducting.
The committee will try a
different method of contact
ing a sample of the Uni
versity students by distrib
uting questionaires to all
students passing through
the Crib line, during the
day.
George Moyer, chairman
of the committee, said by
utilizing the Crib line ap
proximately 1000 students
could be reached. .
The questionaires will re
quire yes or no answers to
four questions dealing with
the students' competency to
rate an instructor, the best
group to evaluate such stu
dent ratings, student inter
est in a faculty rating pro
gram and the positive bene
fits of such a rating sys
tem. The questionaires will be
returned by dropping them
in a box as students leave
the Crib.

TORPE&0 BOATS WR NEVER. LIKE THIS
Inside View
They were not as popu
lar or populous with col
lege students as Ft. Lau
derdale, but New Haven
and New York City easily
supplied this student and
seven other University the
ater students with many
rewarding, entertaining
and educational theatri
ical experiences during
spring vacation.
The weekend of March
24, I attended the Yale
Drama Festival in New
Haven, Conn.
Students from 28 colleges
viewed 12 one-act plays pre
sented by different col
leges, participated and lis
tened at discussions of the
productions, observed cos
tume, sound, lighting and
platform exhibits, and, per
haps most important,
talked and ate with other
college theatre students.
On Friday evening, three
original one-acts were pre
sented. Mount Holyoke's
"The Dove Descending"
and William and Mary's
"There Are Lies Like
Truth" were coolly re
ceived. The third play
Bowdoin's "A n t o Sacra
mentale" was an inter
esting attempt at a new
twist to the 'country maiden-voice
from God' inci
dents so strongly associ
ated with Joan of Arc.
Swarthmore presented a
cut, yet holding, version of
Strindberg's "Miss Julie"
on Saturday morning.
Completing the morning of
'Naturalism and Realism'
were "The Heiress," misin
terpreted by Vanderbilt,
and Shaw's "Caesar and
Cleopatra," enjoyed main

ia's talented Cleopatra.,

Rollins incorporated slide

excerpts from B e r t h o 1 1
Brecht's "The Private Life
of the Master Race;" Den
lson's performance of the
Pirandello-like play "Three
Actors and Their Drama"
by Ghelderode was partic
ularly enjoyable and well
done; Wellesley's produc
tion of Edward Albee's
"The Sand Box" was bet

popular "Omnibus;"
"Picnic on a Battlefield"
