The Gyre and Gimble Page ? EDITORIAL Monday, Octobsr 1, 19621 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- f S S a S 5 S srsSs 53 s a i sTiii i S ?s i S3 SS V i 5sY 5 5 " i 5 5T S i S S3 iskTs S3 s 5 HlVsisS S S S 1 5 ! sYi S sSSaii I5S5Sa!33aS5! 5S 5555SSSS535IS5S5a33S33 !Il;SSs!Sa! 1333! ii WI-; WELCOMl; YOli to onr nowlv rpnuodMod shop , II featuring the latest Electric Barber hairi PLENTY OF FREE i!

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, glllllll!Hlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!IIH I About Letters 3 The Dally Hehreekaa laYllee f 3 readera to eee It tor mnnlm s 3 otf enlnfnn eurrenl toplci retard- Sj S !' ef rlewpetnt.

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 tions at the Ball State Firm, Muncie, Indiana.) . . 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.

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?
