Looking Up
by frpnk hndis
What I'd like to know is what kind of an administration do we have .
If I remember right. President Kennedy did a lot of griping about ike's prestige
and foreign policies in the 1960 election. Since that election, when the Kennedy dynasty
and his tneory-minded Harvard boys took ovsr, we have crawled, backed, and stumbled'
into the most ridiculous posture this countr - ha ver issrmed
The United States, the strongest country in the world, is now being mocked and
intimidated by an arrogant, boastful communist dictator in Cuba.
Why do we put up with Fidel's ranting? Why don't we pluck this thorn from our
thigh, this threat to our security?
One reason the administration gives, is that the United States would be acting as an
aggressor nation. Evidently, they have forgotten the Monroe Doctrine.
Perhaps JFK should take a lesson in foreign policy from the Russians. When Hun
gary revolted. Nikita knew how to handle f ie problem, and forcibly. He moved in with
tanks and infantry to brutually crush the revolt. Countries of the world cried "aggres
sor." And where Is Hungary now?
In the communist camp.
Needless to say, when you're boxing, you're boxing, you don't wear kid gloves.
What is our policy toward Cuba? Do we have a positive one, or Is just a matter oi
waiting for them to make the first move? Economic boycotts, and navel blockades have
been brought up, but to what avail? It would seem that we are afraid of losing
"friends" among our foreign neighbors. Maybe this notion that we have to be every
one's friend Is costing us more than It's worth, both in taxes and in prestige. We pour
millions of dollars in foreign aid Into India every year, and yet who was the first
country to slap our hand when we resumed nuclear testing?
Also, trying to be buddies with "the great neutralist", Nehru, might possibly have
caused a small loss of prestige in Portugal. If I were Salazar, I would probably think
twice before letting the United States renew their lease for military bases on the
Azores.
While Fidel is waving a red flag at us, we are straddling a barrow afraid to move
either way. Perhaps our troops belong in Cuba instead of Mississippi. Well, it's a
thought anyhow.
The fact that Nebraska
clobbered Michigan on
Saturday will be of no
importance this weekend.
What really appears tp
be assuming major im
portance is the "fun and
games" that took place
on the mal1 Saturday morn
ing. Wouldn't you say
that it is "beneath the
dignity" of a house pres
ident and a member of
the high order of hood
ed, baldricked and red
hondos to climb up a
fire escape?
CENSURE HIM!
Is he not giving a bad
example to the entire
Greek system? -
CENSURE HIM!
Should he hot be open
to scathing criticism,
since perhaps through
this action he became an
object of ridicule on the
campus?
HUZZAH!
As long as the topic of
beneath the dignity is un
der discussion, a few
other comments, perhaps
of some note, could be
enumerated.
What could be more
.beneath the dignity of a
sorority girl than sitting
ally lock the barn after
the horse has been stolen,
or the footoail centered,
as H were?
In any event, the idle
threat is one of the most
marvelous means of get
ting nowhere fast.
It would appear that
the most logical sugges
tion would be that the
members of this group
try to put a little faith
down in a Monday, four
o'clock Panhellenic meet
ing and going from the
insipid to the vapid each
week . . . and in addi
tion not particularly car
ing anyhow.
Would it perhaps not
be a constructive sugges
tion that members of the
group first censure
themselves for their mar
velous ability to continu-

Administrative
Problems
To the Editor:
I administrate a busi
ness with approximately
9,000 employees. With
rare exception, around
6,500 of these may be
characterized very simi
larly. As a group they
have a tendency to great
turn-over, and as indiviu
als their interest in t h e
company is minimal.
There are, on the other
hand, around 2,500 work
ers at the plant, some in
labor leadership positions,
who are characterized by
longer tenure and more
interest in the affairs and
image of the business.
As an administrator,
however, my policy is to
treat all of my employ
ees, especially the 2,500,
with general distrust,
lack of confidence, and
often animosity.
I have been told by my
advisors that I should
trust these people. I feel,
however, that this would
leave them free to r u n
wild. My advisors in turn
have told me that my rea
soning is a result of be
ing too remote from my
employees (due to a re
c e n t reorganization).
However, as you can see,
this is ridiculous. After
all, my office processes
IBM cards on every one
of these people at least
twice a year.
My reaon in writing is
for some advice. I am
trying to cut down on the
amount of smoking that is
going on at the plant and
at the employees' parties,

because my business is
such that it is in the pub
lic eye constantly My ad
visors tell me that if I
were to just place raiy
confidence in the group
of 2,500, they would rec
ognize their responsibility
and respond favorably. Of
course, my idea is to
threaten them with their
jobs.
Since your paper deals
with a similar business
with a similar problem,
I wondered if you could
tell me what to do.
Sincerely,
Ad Minny Distrust
(Editor's Note: I have
read your letter several
times and I think that I
now understand what you
are trying to say. I would
suggest a transfer to an- ,
other firm, I hear that
there is &n opening in a
similar position for a
man of your qualifica

. . All Except
Football'
To the Editor:
I was interested and
amused by the comments
of Jane Fishendon of Lon
don, after watching her
first game of American
football.
However, I wonder if
she had "tongue in
cheek" when she wrote
of the huge "gods of
strength," and compares
them with "the mere
weak and puny" football
ers of England?
The latter play a differ
ent game, of course, called
soccer, which has no quar
ters with only a ten min
ute interval, and lasts
some 90 minutes (all con
tinuous action). The se
lected team plays
throughout with no sub
stitutes and no time outs.
If a player is injured, the
rest of the team com
pletes the game and very
often wins.
So the question arises
how these "gods of
strength," who appear to
play about 10-20 minutes
before going off to rest or
take a dose of oxygen,
would stand up to such a
test of stamina.
What would Coach De
vaney say if he was only
permitted to take one
team with him, even if it
would be a considerable
saving in the expense de
partment during away
games?
I recall seeing my first
game in the same stadi
um, some 14 years ago,
and when asked for my
impressions, I could only
answer that I have wit
nessed and enjoyed a col
orful spectacle, cheer
leaders, a fine band, pop
corn and hot dogs, in fact
everything except a foot
ball game.
Sincerely,
Harold Hompes

Right of Free
Association
To the Editor:
It has been interesting
to note in recent issues of
the Rag several articles
both criticizing and de
fending the Greek system.
As a Greek, I would be
the first to admit that
our way of life is not all
that it should be and I
welcome any and all valid
criticism.
However, I do not con
sider the article which ap
peared in Wednesday's
Rag in the "Campus For
um" as being valid criti
cism. I agree that a qualified
Negro student, or Indian
student or whomever he
may be, should have an
equal chance at the edu
cational opportunities of
a university. I am against
segregation in s c h o o 1 s,
buses, or wherever the use
of public services is con
cerned. But I maintain
that I have the right of
free a s s o c i a tion with
whomever I please. If a
group of men have similar
ideals, do they not have
the right to come together
and say who can or can
not belong to their group?
What is the right of free
association?
Sincerely,
Warren Hill
