Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER Nov. 25,1964 udcrapinad Campus News Briefs A year later: On this date in 1963, we buried John Kennedy. We are reminded, painfully, of what is perhaps the most poignant summing-up of the immensity of all our grief, this pensive, questioning statement by his wife: So now he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man. Nobody asked us, really, but we thought a little television reviewing was within our sphere, and we watched a new late-night discussion pro gram called Les Crane all last week. Mr. Crane is perfectly obnoxious, an over-grown college boy wielding a shot-gun mike and being alternately obsequious and patronizing to his guests. However, a lady named Marta something-or-other, a sort of irreverent Mother's Marcher from Green wich Village, is well worth the price of mid-morning fatigue. And the discussions, which are too often cut short too soon, are lively, interesting, and on a wide range of subjects, from Miss America ( Those girls ab solutely HATE each other ) to pop art ( You're putting me on ) If you can stand the golden boy, the program is fairly worthwhile. The Laetare Players, in an inspired moment, bought an immense army-surplus balloon, which they determined to launch as an advertising gimmick for the season's first play, First Lady. Helium, it turned out, would have cost 25, so a few of the more dedicated actresses arrived at 5:30 one morning to fill it up at the Standard station across the street. Unfortunately, after they had filled it with air, which is heavier than anyone realizes, they broke it carrying it across to the college. For tunately, though the balloon was a fizzle, the play was not. Dearies Are Discussing . . . the new trimester system (How does that go again?) . . . the tea party mentality of an institution that would not allow interested (even ardent) Tillich-admirers to stand in the back of McCormick. We assume he would have been flattered that so many students were intensely devoted enough to stand up to listen to him. The students who were shuffled off to the library to listen to piped-in Tillich were understandably disappointed . . . those bumper-stickers we see now and then say 23 Million Americans Can't Be Wrong . . . The joys of Friday afternoon: hovering just this side of a nervous breakdown . . . (The senior class day) . . . Thumb's Down . . . the Fighting Irish . . . Henry Adams, and his silly old education .. . Wendell Wilkie . . . Andrew Wyeth... Christmas vacation ... Enovid ... the Revue. Pandora Swimmers Pass Tests; Receive Terrapin Rose Nineteen students have been ac cepted for membership in the Ter rapins, the college water ballet club. To be accepted into the group, the girls had to demonstrate their ability to do the American and back Printing Class Hangs Shingle Outside 'Arms' While the eyes of the college have been focusing upon the new library and fine arts building to be erected, the art department has been quietly expanding on a smaller scale. Headquarters for the print-making class has been moved from Room 809 to a store in the Spanish Arms Building, 1050 W. Sheridan. The 12 members of the print- making class have already hung out their shingle, a creation designed by sophomore Pat Lenihan and read ing Gutenberg's Girls, Ye Old Print-making Shoppe. According to Cathy Matejovsky, Art Club president, the shop pro vides better facilities than did the eighth floor, because of the addi tional space for both artists and materials. Now 809 will be utilized for oil painting and drawing classes. Though only print-making stu dents have access to the shop at present, it may soon be open to the public. The department is tenta tively planning to make student prints available for sale. The department will also hold an art sale entitled Prints by Modern Masters in Gallery Four until Dec. 11. Included in the items will be original etchings, lithographs and woodcuts by such artists as Degas, Renoir, Rouault and Picasso. Sale prices for the originals will range from 3 to 100. crawls as well as the side and breast strokes. They also had to perform such stunts as ballet legs, back dolphin, kip, dodsen and surface dive. Each skill was worth five points; the girls acquired at least 25 out of a possi ble 35 points. The new members were welcomed at a pool-side candlelight ceremony where each received a long-stem rose and signed the Terrapin mem bership book. The newcomers are Karen Abbas, Janice Buckeridge, June Campagna, Eileen Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Kathleen Case, Mary Cooper, Mary Anne Gabil, Ann Gonia and Diane Hansen. Also accepted were Chris Hils, Mary Ann Imperiale, Martha NeB- bitt, Annell O'Bryan, Patricia O'- Regan, Margaret Reschke, Dorothy Schwalbach, Laurie Skiffington and Patricia Woods. After the tryouts, there was an informal barbecue dinner in Lewis Center for old and new Terrapins to get acquainted.

There were also seminars on evolution and reform of student government, US NSA services for the student and campus and present-day community issues. Bills proposing constitutional changes and a student discount service were defeated on the floor. The NSA Thanksgiving Fast for Freedom proposition was passed, however. Students of some member schools signed saying they would not eat dinner Nov. 19, and the money saved by the school on food was to be sent to NSA headquarters and will be used to buy food for Mississippians in need.
