Birch's R. SnowdenTalks America First

Last night, ODK presented Mr.Robert Snowden, a member of theJohn Birch Society in Hardie Audi-torium. Snowden appeared beforean appreciative audience. Thespeaker opened by saying, "Thepurpose of the John Birch Societyis to keep our republic from dying."He described the organization'smembers as "hard-working Chris-tian Church people who emphasizemorality rather than materialism.He compared the materialist vs.the moralist as "the devil vs. God."

Snowden credited Castro and hisCuba with awakening the Ameri-can people. "Even the New YorkTimes had to admit he was a com-munist although it had defendedhim for years." Snowden acutelyattacked the press by stating,"newspapers of America get theirimpresisons from the New YorkTime, which is communist influ-enced.

"The John Birch Society wantsless government, more responsi-bility, and a better world."

Turning to individuals, Snowdenmaintained that the late SenatorJoseph McCarthy, of Wisconsinwas "slain by the Eisenhower Ad-ministration prodded by the Com-munist party. He accused AttorneyGeneral Kennedy of siding withleft-wingists by calling ,the society"humorous." Snowden emphaticallydeclared that the society does notlabel people Communists, al-

though Robert Welsh once labeledEisenhower as such in a privatecommunication. Snowden did ac-cuse Eisenhower and his admini-stration of the "futility of appease-ment."

Failing to obtain help from Dr.Amacker on a particular point,Snowden excused him on thegrounds of his being a mathema-tics professor.

Snowden termed as awful thefiring of General McArthur and

Across The DeskCategory: Culture Hits Campus

In the next two weeks Southwestern students and facultymembers will have the opportunity to take advantage of anold and a new form of cultural activity. Kicking off the festivemood of the approaching holiday season will be the PROPlayers' presentation of Tennessee Williams' masterpiece "TheGlass Menagerie," performed tonight at 8:15 in the AEC. OnDec. 2 the student council is sponsoring Southwestern's firstjazz concert.

It has been observed that few men and women of thecollege have been seeing visions and dreams lately to divertthem from the tedious, everyday routines of study. But thereare students here who are interested in broadening the varietyof opportunities that college can provide. The student bodyshould feel an obligation to reward these efforts by supportingthe first major play on campus that has been presented in twoyears. Curiosity and anticipation of a relaxed, music-filledafternoon should lure attendants to the jazz concert.

But we should not attend these activities merely for thesake of seeing a roommate beneath the bright lights, or tryingto find out what kind of jazz the student council is up to, orboosting activity points by gracing a campus function. Rather,we should accept the challenge of adding something new andcreative to our experiences; enjoy the privilege and assumethe responsibility of furthering the goals of Southwestern.

Dr. Dan Ross PensCritique of Story

The newest contributor to theseries of University of MinnesotaPamphlets on American Writersis Southwestern's professor ofEnglish, Dr. Danforth R. Ross.The American Short Story is Dr.Ross's publication which went onsale Nov. 13.

Starting with the premise thatthe good literature of every nationexpresses the national characterand that it is seen with specialclarity in the short story, Dr. Rossbegins to prove his point. The firstshort story writer in America wasWashington Irving; other NewEnglanders who wrote in this lit-erary form were Poe, Hawthorne,and Melville. As the frontierpushed westward the "tall tale" in-luenced the short story, .as seenn the works of Mark Twain, BretHarte, and Ambrose Bierce. Criti-cism of "the Genteel Tradition" ofhe nineteenth century character-zes the stories of Henry Jamesand Edith Wharton.

From the last quarter of thenineteenth century until the pres-nt time naturalism has influencedhe literature of America. Givingxpression to this philosophy tovarying extents were Hamlin Gar-and, Frank Norris, Theodore Drei-er, Willa Cather, Sherwood Ander-on, William Carlos Williams, andohn Steinbeck. At the same time,authors were influenced with thenaturalistic trend, but combinedhe spiritual hero of the past withSforeshadowing of the existential-st hero of the present. StephenCrane was soon joined in this newoncept with Hemingway, Fitzger-ald, Faulkner, and Katherine Anne

Burrow BrowsingSean O'Faolain' once said, "At

Harvard, I learned most uncom-fortably that facts are facts. InItaly, I learned that facts are theway you look at them."

In his antholigy, The FinestStories of Sean O'Faolain, the twotypes of "learning" are admirablyand richly combined. He treats thepure facts - the facts of the ex-istence of his Irish people - witha blend of humor, gentle satire,compassion, and above all, greataffection.

The stories in his anthology runthe gamut from his early romanticefforts through his realistic-socialprobings to his later attempts atsatire. I say "attempts" because hehimself admitted that he was still.a "besotted romantic" and that hestill had "much too soft a cornerfor the old land to ever success-fully satirize the Irish.

This romanticism tinged with oc-casional despair over his illogical,temperamental countrymen can beseen in one of his earliest stories,"Midsummer Night Madness." Theplot is uncomplicated; the action isseen through the eyes of the narra-tor, a young Irish revolutionary,who returns to the village of hisyouth to chastise a member of themovement who has been too inac-tive during his months of countryseculsion. The narrator finds hiscomrade, Stevey, ensconsed in anold manision owned by a Mr. Henn,a land-owner tyrant and once theterror of the county. With thenmlives a coarse county girl, Gypsy,whom the old man has impregnatedand with whom Stevey dallies veryfreely.

The action of the story is lessimportant than the contrastsbrought out between Old Ireland-Mr. Henn - and New Irland -Stevey. Mr. Henn, himself the per-sonification of the disintergration'of the old, semi-feudal Irish societybemoans the passing of the era ofnative arts and crafts. Stevey,young, impetuous, and impatient,rages at the importence of Ireland,and thrashes about rather blindlyin his awkward efforts to helpbuild the new republic. The im-possibility of communication andreconciliation between the two dif-ferent attitudes as to how Irelandcan be brought to her rightful placeof strength and dignity is sympa-thetically expressed by Mr. O'Fao-lain..

Category: Princeton And NSA(Editor's note: This editorial is a reprint from the Princetonian. It

is fair in its criticism of the United States National Student Associa-tion. Many schools that are members of NSA and attend the Congresseach year have the same criticism. Don Emerson, from Princeton, is,the current International Affairs Vice President for USNSA. In areferendum this fall, Princeton voted 'to stay in the National StudentAssociation.

(The Sou'wester is attempting to present all sides of the questionsconcerning the USNSA. One should examine all phases of the USNSA-both criticisms of it and the many areas it covers in the student com-munity.)

The Undergraduate Council tonight begins a review of lastspring's unfortunate decision to join the National Student As-

sociation. The discussion will be based on an impressive 29-page report on the NSA's summer convention prepared by hPrinceton's three-man delegation. A careful review of thisdocument and the publicity emanating from the conventionhave re-enforced this newspaper's stand, stated last spring, thatPrinceton must withdraw from the NSA.

The NSA purports to represent the entire student popula-tion of the U.S., discussing its problems on the college campus i

and forming its opinions on matters of national and interna-tional significance. In attempting to accomplish these formid-able tasks, the NSA has run amok on all three levels.

First, it does not represent the students of the U.S., norcan it attempt to act as this nebulous body's spokesman. The i

organization includes, as the UGC report points out, "onlyabout one fifth of our colleges and universities with about onehalf of the college population." Furthermore, the schools rep-resented in the NSA do not represent any sort of demographicalbalance, nor does each school participate as fully as the organ-ization would like to.

In spite of these basic factual contradictions, the NSA per-sists in its sham role as the spokesman of the student. Thesummer convention defeated a sensible proposal to change theconstitutional preamble beginning "We, the students of theU.S... ." to a more correct "We, as students .. ."

Second, the NSA is too busy playing the game of politicallabel tossing to concern itself with basic campus issues. In spiteof ten days of unending conferences and meetings, none ofPrinceton's three delegates have yet brought forth any con-structive suggestions on issues of campus interest. Any of thecampus programs suggested by the NSA itself are already morethan adequately handled by Whig-Clio and RESPONSE.

But the area of real contradiction is the third, the idea offormulating student opinion. Here the NSA has completelyleaped its bounds and has become nothing more than the worstform of political lobby, both nationally and internationally. Inits own constitution the NSA itself declares it has no right to -take action in such areas. Article X, Sections A and B of theconstitution expressly forbid "activity which does not affect ythe students in their role as students" and outlaw "carrying onpropaganda or otherwise attempting to influence legislation." i

Yet the summer convention spent a large part of its timeformulating policy resolutions on the House Un-American Ac-tivities Committee and U.S. policy on Suba. Now the NSAwants to ginance Freedom Rides. It is not the final resolutionsor actions we object to, but simply the fact that the NSA took

it upon itself to discuss these areas and then say its decision Jrepresented the student opinion in the U.S. The NSA cannot tclaim to be representative body and even went so far as to turn T

down a proposal to put election of convention delegates on acampus-wide basis. a

This then is the organization to which the Princeton UGC hhas lent its name and support. Princeton has gained absolutely V

nothing from its membership in the NSA and has merely pros-tituted itself to the whims of an organization that violates its Uown constitution. t

As a result of Princeton's membership in the NSA, one of pits delegates was appointed to a full-time paying executive iposition. Since then the University's name has been used in a

activities in the international field, activities that are all beyond othe scope of the organization's legitimate existence. s

In the face of these circumstances Princeton has little pchoice but to withdraw.

Trumpet-tooting, to the AverageAmerican, conjures up visions ofself-pride, conceit, immodesty,"blowing one's own horn."

The alert reader - even the un-alert reader - is probably wonder-ing why the devil this column isconcerned with Roland, Ronceval,and trumpet-tooting. Simple: onemust justify an evil before one canindulge in it.

Blowing one's own horn is apractice oft condemned by piouspersons who pretend to be meek,modest, and humble. If one blowshis own horn, however, he is as-sured that it will be blown properlyand LOUD.

So why notbrag about it?

everyone should be conversant thisyear. One reason is that she. hassomething coming to Broadway;another is that Miss McCullers hasbeen sick and the critics have beenespecially nice to applaud herwork. But if her newest novel,Clock Without Hands is to be aconversation piece, communicationswill be retarded for a few months.

The story is supposed to be abouti. T. Malone and his inner strugglehat parallels his impending death.The setting is, of course, a smallsouthern town. As J. T. writhes inhis struggle, peace comes to him inan impossible form-he lies in hishospital bed and an attendantwheels in a cart of books. Hechooses none other than SicknessUnto Death and turns right to thepassage: "The greatest danger,hat of losing one's own self, maypass off quietly as if it were noth-ng; every other loss, that of an,rm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc.,s sure to be noticed." For the restf the book J. T. reconciles him-elf to dying, and does a quiet,peaceful job of it.

Miss McCullers now drags in ahost of strange characters who areupposedly functioning solely forhe purpose of bringing J. T. to theight. However, each goes in anpposite direction towards his ownittle world.

To Kill a Mockingbird is one ofof the most delightful books of theyear. Pulitzer Prize-winning HarperLee has captured the charm ofSouthern childhood while keepingthe language and the story at anadult level. Every incident is toldwith warmth, humor, and compas-sion. Even the minor charactersare interesting and often quitefunny. For example, when a freakcold spell hit the town, one bad-humored old gentleman told every-one that it was written on theRosetta Stone that such thingshappened when children disobeyedtheir parents, smoked cigarettes,and made war with one another.After seeing snow for the firsttime in their lives, the childrenidecided that there was somethingto say for sin.

The reader sees Maycomb,Alabama during the Depressionthrough the eyes of Scout Finch,a highly imaginative eight-year-old tomboy. Every day is full ofadventure for Scout. She and herolder brother Jem manage to addseveral grey hairs to their neigh-bor's heads through their ram-blings and rompings. They deviseunsuccessful schemes for luringout Boo Radley, a pitiful shell ofa man who has not been seen out-

nate as Eliza Doolittle, the flowergirl who drops her Cockney char-acter for upper class manners andmorals).

P. S. Your unmeek, immodestMan Under the Marquee who hasno semblance whatsoever of humi-lity is playing Henry Higgins,who's the c.o.b. (confirmed. oldbachelor) who teaches Eliza tospeak and to spurn. Purpose at lastrevealed; mission accomplished.Get the point?

Do come see 'little me" and RayHill and this lapful of lusciouslovelies, won't you. It has takerme a whole damn hour to writethis cryptic column about it; re-ward my efforts!

Lynx Mauled By HowardCats vs. Kangaroos Sat.

Howard College gave Southwestern its worse beating of

the year by a score of 34-7. Howard's passing offense was

unstoppable and with some powerful backfield men was more

than the Lynx Cats could handle last Saturday.

Southwestern was fighting all the way, and at times some

of their players just kept pitching in, even though they were

suffering from serious injuries. Jerry Fong and Frank Coyle

are only two examples. Both of these men were suffering from

knee injuries. Mike Drake, a freshman, played an outstanding

game and will definitely be a gridiron star in a year or so.Bill Harwood, a candidate fora

"Little All-American" scored South-western's only touchdown. MikeTruscott, Southwestern's SouthAmerican, kicked the extra point.

The Pep Club sent a bus load ofstudents to the game and althoughthey were slightly out-numbered,and with their team behind, theymaintained a school spirit thatSouthwestern could be proud of.

This Saturday Southwestern willtake on the Austin Kangaroosfrom Sherman, Texas. Austin hasa 6-1 record against Southwesternin the past and last year gave theLynx Cats a 30-7 whipping. How-ever, there is a good chance thatthere could be a different story

this year. The Lynx Cats won theirfirst three games and have losttheir last four.

This is a must game for South-western, and it will be the nightgame at home for the Lynx Catsthis year. This could help South-western change their bad luck andwill also enable more students tocome to the game.

Because of injuries the Lynxhave had a light workout. RoyTwaddle, who has been in the hos-pital since Monday with a knee op-eration will be Southwestern's only.starter on the side lines. The gamewill be played at Hodges Field at8 P.M.

May Previews BasketballCoach May reports that the

Southwestern basketball team thisyear shows great possibilities ofhaving a successful season. Theteam as a whole is working"hardand displaying a great deal ofspirit. Each player is strivingeagerly toward his team's goal-winning!

Lack of height is the one handi-cap in particular that must beovercome. Coach May intends tosolve this problem by instructingthe players to position themselvesquickly for rebounding. Speed andquick thinking substitute for lackof height.

The team this year will use theeffective man-to-man defense anda one-three-one offense. This of-fense has not been used extensivelyby college teams, but the coachhas confidence in its success.

The players for the 1961-62 sea-son are Carl Fisher, Bill Taylor,Bob Mosley, Keith Arman, DavidMiles, John Lawo, Tommy Johnson,Ronnie Annis, Cyril Hollingsworth,Bo Montgomery, John Slaughter,Kenneth Gann, and Charley Killin-ger. This group of thirteen is com-posed of five returning lettermen.Keith Arman and Bob Mosley werestarters last year.

One of the major factors for theteam's showing great prospects isits depth. Another is its spirit,which can be hustled to an evengreater height by the studentbody's enthusiasm.

IntramuralsThe week after men return from

Thanksgiving holidays intramural

volleyball and basketball tourna-

ments commence. The fraternity

and independent teams shape up

as follows:

SAE lost one of their tallest

players, Franklin McCallie. The

Lions, without a great deal of

height, will center action aroundTommy White, Robert Echols, andMike Truscott. The team shouldbe strong, but not as effective aslast year's championship squad.

SN lost most of its height, butthe addition of Phil Green prob-ably will offset the losses. LeeBrown is the darkhorse to watch.

ATO also lost several of its out-standing seniors from last year,but this year's freshmen shouldmake up for it. The strong teamwill be led by John Rice, BobWells, and Ross Land.

KS suffered no major losses--astrong group of freshmen andHoward Eddington, Scott Gregory,and Jimmy Finley should produceoutstanding competition.

KA's attack will be led by JohnCherry, Bob Norton, Mike Daugh-ty, and Warren Nance. The addi-tion of strong freshmen shouldcontribute to Lee's men's chancesat the trophy.

PKA and the independent groupwill not have an "A" team in theleague. The way it looks now, any-one could win, although SAE andKA can be considered the favo-rites. In the "B" league all teamswill have entries.

Basketball

In the basketball tournamentthree leagues will vie for thechampionship.

SN, last year's champions, lostseveral of their starters and overallheight; however, Lee Brown andPhil Green should fill the gapaided by the agressiveness of PeteCornish and Dale Ledbetter.

SAE, last year's runners-up, lostnone of their starting line. Withthe addition of good pledges, theLions with probably be the strong-est team in the league. TommyWhite, Bob Gay, Buddy McAfee,and Bill Davidson will lead theteam.

KS should be one of the most im-proved teams in the league. Withno major losses from last yearplus Howard Eddington and sev-eral good freshmen, they will behard to beat. Eddington andSplann will be team leaders.

ATO didn't enter the "A" leaguelast year and lost most of theirstarting line on the "B" team.With the addition of several goodpledges they should prove to be

good opponents. The team will bebacked by John Rice and Jim Mc-Cain.

KA should also be a strong con-tender for the championship. Withno major losses from last year, theteam will be led by Owen Middle-ton, Warren Nance, John Cherry,and Mike Doughty.

From TheSidelines

Saturday night will be the lastgame. in the Lynx '61-'62 seasonand for some the last game oftheir college career. The game willbe played at Hodges field againstAustin College. Since the Lynxhave been beaten in the past fourgames, they will be all out for awin. This season has been a goodone for the Lynx and Saturdaythey will be trying to even up theirscore of wins and losses. The teamitself has made an excellent show-ing against all foes and many havebeen left much the sorrier fortempting the Southwestern Lynx.

With the permission of the au-thor and the forgiveness of theEnglish department, I should liketo present this short dissertation.Any resemblance to poems past orpresent is truly not the responsi.bility of this writer.

Tho' luck wasn't with usTo open the seasonMillsaps met the Lynx,And tho' they did fightTheir foes were a jinx.When the dust had settledAnd the smoke cleared away,Southwestern turned outThe vistors that day.

Then came CentralWith all of its might,To tempt the LynxOr show who was right.Tho' Central did wellWe all must agree,They didn't win,Which is easy to see.

Centre came inOn its record of past,But even thatDidn't help them last.They tried and triedTo put over the ballBut the Lynx were too tough,And so they did fall.

Mississippi CollegeWas our next game,Tho' luck wasn't with usWe kept our fameIn scoring againstThe opposing teamThe fans were joyousAnd really did screamTo see the Lynx scoreOn this strong team.

Then came MaryvilleUp in East TennesseeAnd tho' determined to win,It was not to be.For the Scots had practicedAnd were ready to play,And the disheartened LynxTook a beating that day.

Sewanee came downFrom up in the hillsAnd awaited the LynxWith tackles and spills.The day then arrived;It was cloudy and wet,And the Sewanee TigersPulled a big upset.

Howard came inLike March on the wingAnd the mighty LynxCouldn't stop this thing.Many spectatorsWere there from school,And the game was "exception"Rather than "rule."Last as to AustinWe soon shall seeWill be stopped in their tracks,And turn to flee.For the Lynx will win,There is no doubt,But be there and yell,So all can help out.
