What's Happening?
It Is the approach of the Thanksgiving vacation.
And it is important with the approach of the Thanks
giving vacation that the individual student realizes the
essence of each part of his University life. This is so
because of the obvious probes and queries which his
parentage and friends will put to him on his return to
main street and the sweet shop. Or if he be Lincoln, it
is important as his parents shall be saying whyfore is
he hanging around the house these days.
But anyway, we take this time for some appropriate
University clarifications and up-to-dates, the need of such
based on the theory of the "mixed up" student. "Mixed
up" is Latin for "having been into the Union too much."
But since most questions shall cover your academic
life, here is a college catalogue summary of the various
departments. When asked of the nature of these, you
may be prepared, young sons and daughters. Remember
the words of our first chancellor, Dr. Harold Doctor, who
said, "It is better to know your University than to have
never laughed at all."
; THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
The English Department is a sort of complex sen
tence with unwarranted middle distribution of a few
dangling participles. Many of the students wear beards
leys, and often get together for coffee comparisan and
contrast, and singing I like, "Won't you come down,
Dud Bailey!" This group is headed by Dr. Andrew Hall,
a fellow with extraordinarily fine upper teeth. There is
some talk of replacing this denistry with the barber
college. However you can never be sure if either the
teeth or the hair are his own, and this is called plagia
rism. The English Department is closely connected with,
the book stores. This is called cutback. You may be in
vited to the homes of your graduate student instructors.
This is called a liberal education. All English profes
sors are not instructors. Some professors do not smoke.
Therefore, all English professors do not carry aound
their own ashtrays. The English Department reads many
looks. Se' -m read the books. See them funny twelve
syllable v .s. See them funny twelve syllable words
in them funny twelve paragraph text questions. Run

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
At the ag school there's a heck of a lot agoin on.
To get out thar, you go about a half section down that
one way thing, grab a hard right at Harley Carlson's,
go over a big lull (the fair grounds'U be dead ahead,
but don't go in thar she don't open till the fair),
jest go up that hill and down that road there till you
come, to about the third big place on the left there'd
be a lot of buildings one of'em is named for breakfast
food or something. Jest drive in and park her any
place watch the cows though they get a little
sMttery this time of year calfin and all. Give a whistle
therell be someone around. Look out back they
might be aworkin. Should be somebody out there on the
two-way seed setter cause I seen 'em in town this mornin
gettin the handle jacket for the rotatin go-dig greased.
Guess it broke down again say, thar, young feller
you from these parts hereabout?
THE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM
The Journalism Department is the one that teaches
making good Newspapers for the people of the world
wherever they may be in the world. Also taking pictures
'and setting type and good English. They empfhasize
colorful, writing and good styles so as to make it very
interesting to the people of the world a lot Also taking
pictures and things. You learn all about the different
"-" " "xShds of newspapers and what they look like and things.
Also the people of the world. And that's why' I'm
proud to be an American.
THE ENGINEERING COLLEGE
The internal assembly of the Engineering College is
basically a simple operation. The various regulators
;(A,E,F,H, and K) are connected unilaterally to about
fifty transformers who in turn control the output of the
inlays.. The school gets a good deal of resistance from
the stress factor, which, coupled with a certain elasticity
in the current flow to Business Administration, eases
the system load somewhat However, the separate
static points (L,M,N,R, and T) do not receive the oscil
lation so much as do DB and G. If the Engineering
College could only cross wires I,F; and C with A.U, and
F we'd get twice the sleep at half the cost
THE ROTC DEPARTMENTS

And It won't be easy, but with 600 of you in this class,
we're going to put you on the honor system! You've got
toremember that you-must-carry-your-own-load! No

But vfM is important, men, is that you try to stay off

' OTEE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Business Administration is the department that (1)
ntaizes the full extent of each chain of efficiency, be it
either directly or indirectly linked to the controlling fac
tor, (2) patterns a mobility of operation designed to
pans and coordinates a systematic, functioning integral
consistency. And that ain't say in much. You also gotta
be able to balance your sheet, retain your earnings,
sad actuate your assets.
THE SPEECH DEPARTMENT
Thank yoa, thank you. Students, facuty, and friends
the Speech Department is mighty proud of this op
portunity to more than thank you all for making this
here opportunity. Seldom in these past sixty years has
the department really been able to express itself . . .
". and that brings to mind a story it seems Fabian has
: donated a pair of ninety foot high sunglasses to the
.Temple Building, so look around. Leroy!
THE PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT
' The Psychology Department is predominantly an ar
rangement of secondary, semi-motivated non-conditioned
responses to various stimuL The activity of the depart
ment consists largely in observing how a rat works
'. himsef out of a Japanese finger trap.
: TEACHERS COLLEGE
During the formative years, the Teachers College
; orients and fulfills the responsibilities of the individual
student in group choas. Mere attempts at understanding
the motives for disobedience, classroom rioting, and
'. war are not sufficient You also gotta take some math
; or something. The College watches closely the stu
' dent's progress in keeping hands off others; covering
mouth when coughing, snoring, or breathing after drink-
1 tog; and keeping butts out of the sandbox. The Teachers
; College helps the prospective secondary and elementary
; Instructor better understand his future bliss through 10:00

TOWN WITHOUT PITY,
a United Artists release of
a Mirsch Co.-Gloria Films
presentation of a Gottfried
Reinhardt production star
ring Kirk Douglas.
Sensational courtroom
drama has been presented
on the screen many times
from "The Trials of
Mary Dugan" to such re
cent examples as ' Wit
ness for the Prosecution"
and "12 Angry Men."
This type of drama is in
demand, and usually of
fers a general area for
excellent film dramatic
entertainment. However,
"Town Without Pity" is
not completely successful.
Dealing with the sensa
tional trial of four GI's in
Germany who raped a
German girl, the film
strives for artistic heights.
But perhaps because of a
limited budget produc
tion values are generally'
cheap and a generally
uninspired director
Gottfried Reinhardt the
film fails to take com
plete advantage of t h e
situations.
I kept thinking "Town
Without Pity" was trying
to imitate the excellent
1557 Kirk Douglas-starrer,
"Paths of Glory". Al
though not set in World
War I or dealing with a
war crime, there is a gen
eral atmospheric similar
ity between the two.
"Town Without Pity" has
a peacetime army and a
social crime.
The four accused sol
diers are faced with a
death penalty the unti
mate result in "Path of
Glory". The four accused
soldiers show that all our
ccvpational f r c e s are
not good ambassadors
the injustice of the mili
tary for its enw kind in
"Paths of Glory." "Town
Without Pity" also hues
gates the cruelty- of
small town gossip the
doubt of military law of
ficial in "Paths of
Glory." Both are pleas

Religion in Russia
Ray Preston's report from
behind the Iron Curtain was,
1 1 thought, quite good. I did,
f however, fold some alarm -I
big statements concerning
the churches behind that di
I viding line.
The article states that
i Preston and his group were
given the Impression that
I there was little or no dis-
crimination against Chris
f tian people behind the Cur-
tain. If one wants to ignore
the fact that many of our
Pastor's children are not al-
lowed to attend high school
let alone college, the fact
I that the only text a Pastor
I finds "safe" is "Love one
another," the fact that no
youth rallies, conventions, or
social functions are allowed

against capital punish
ment. "Town Without Pity"
does not have the polish
or power of its predeces
sor. It has a somewhat
disturbing rock-and-roll
score, composed by the
generally bombastic Di
mitri Tiomkin, mostly a
western film composer. It
uses canned laughter dur
ing the testimony of wit
nesses in court It o v e r
exercised and inferfers
with the use of double-negative
fades. Uneven sound
recording distracts. ?
However, ;the players
try to bring conviction to
their parts. Kirk Douglas
is capable as the defense
attorney, and that fine ac
tor, E. G. Marshall, is in
teresting as the prosecu
tor. Newcomer Christine
Kaufmann displays a var
satile range as the victim
f the rape. And the four
GI's Rober Blake,
Richard Jaeckel, Frank
Sutton and Mai Sondock
are all earnest and ani
malistic. Moral and judicial judg
ment are corners in dra
ma, but, when it comes to
filmed military courtroom
drama, the masterpiece is
still "Paths of Glory."
NOT TONIGHT, HEN
RY!, a Documentary film
(???) starring Hank Hen
ry. "Ripped from the pages
of Playboy magazine,"
this display of partial
feminine nudity is in
tended for the lonely
male. The script concerns
a depressed husband who
goes to a bar and ima
gines all kinds of adven
tures with the female oc
cupants of the bar. The
dreams include Mark An
tony and Cleopatra. Lu
cretia Borgia and Ferdi
nand (The Fat), Napoleon
and Josephine, Captain
John Smith and Pocahan
tas and the Caveman.
Comedian Hank Henry,
one of the most homely of
all comedians, rightfully
in the church's program, the
fact that Bible study and
the administering of the sac
raments are all the church
is allowed to do. the fact
that you can't get a GOOD
job if you are a church
member (you can always
sweep the streets, I guess),
and hundreds of similar j
facts then I guess one can
say that there is no dis- '
crimination.
While meeting with Rus
sian Orthodox and Baptist
Priests OUTSIDE their na
tion at the Eumenical
Youth Assemble in Europe
in Laussane, Switzerland,
and after traveling in sec
tions of Europe I am sure
there is a great deal of dis
crimination. Keith Davis. Jr. i
burlesques his v a r I o u s
parts. The bodies, or fe
male actresses, range
from beauties to homelies
to uglies. Most interesting
are the swimming se
quences in the Smith
Pocahantas and the cave
man episodes and the live
statues in the Antony
Cleopatra episode.
This is really not a film,
but an exhibition, a dis
play. Banned in m a n y
cities because of the nu
dity in the film, it never
theless packs in a u d i
ences. Wonder why?

How would you answer
the question, "Are you
an honest 'Man of God'
on this campus?" Would
your answer cause you to
stop and consider your
own spiritual condition
and the spiritual condition
of the World and the
Church?
With the new break
throughs of science, in
dustry, and business, the
world we live in is even
more rearranged than the
rearrangement caused by
the Copernican revolu
tion. This new revolution
has produced a new kind
of society, a society of
such multiplicity that) a 1
' new dimension of com
munity has come Into
view. The new dimen
sions of life, today, have
had great effect upon the
world of religion and the '
Church. I am afraid that
' much of the end result
of this expansion has
been a growth toward re
ligious establishment and
conformity. Sociologist
Peter Berger in The..
NOise of Sole" Assem
blies builds his esis that
"a de facto establishment
of religion exists in Amer
ica today; religion is
thoroughly ingrained and
taken-for-granted as an
essential institution in
American Society." The
widely publicized theme
of "worship in the church
of your choice this Sun
day," indicates the gener
al religion that permeates
American life. Is your
campus religious fellow- .
ship in the position that it
too might be criticized as
having the function sim
ular to other voluntary
associations that an indi
vidual may join to en
hance his status in the
university community?
A writer in the nine
teenth century described
the Church of England as
the "Conservative party
gathered for prayer." It
seems that there are
many situations in which
this statement would not
be too inappropriate for
our contemporary church
life in America. On the
campus, for example, the
WHAT DOES AN OLD GRAD UKE BEST ABOUT HOMECOMING? Next to shaking
hands, he likes reminiscing. About fraternity partie., irls, sorority parties, girls,
offampus parties, girls-and. of course, about how great cigarettes used to
taste. Fortunately for you. Luckies still do taste great (So great that college
students smoke more of them than any other regular cigar.) Which shows
that the important things in college life stay the same. Parties. Girls. Luckies.
LUCKIES and
of Life
religious organiza
tions are all too often
prejudicedly considered as
the gathering places for
the most conformist, the
most anti-intellectual, the
most prejudiced segments
of the student popula
tion. Erroneously the stu
dent tends to separate
himself and his religious
participation on Campus
from the institutional
church. The religious es
tablishment, however, ex
ists in all its forms on al
most every campus.
To be an honest "Man
of God" means to be will
ing to step out into , the
front line in the task of
disestablishment. We must
demand that the church
require from each of us
a personal decision which
might put us in tension
with the world. We must
demand a theology that
will not allow religion to
be under the subjection
of secular society, but
will allow self -understanding
of the believing
community by each one
i of us and not be left up
to the theologians.
