Page Six THE SKYSCRAPER Nov. 6, 1963 St udcrapinad We hope that you realize, dearies, that this is the-week-you-would-be- taking-mid-terms-if-we-had-mid-terms. This alone is a sobering thought, but even more frightening is that semesters are only ten weeks away. We hate to be pessimistic, but it's true. One consoling thought, though: Christmas intervenes, and should take our minds off insurmountable dif ficulties for at least a little while Bouquets to: Junior Marcie Kirk, who reigned as University Club queen at John Carroll's mid-October homecoming. . . . The Laetare Players, who under took a splicing of Mr. Shakespeare (no easy task ) and acted it beau tifully in their first presentation of the year . . . the students and modera tors responsible for the Club Week booths this year; they were not only imaginative and entertaining, but some were even educational . . . the Junior Class, who have a noble plan to fulfill their pledge duties: the pur chase of (oh, the poignancy of it all ) Ernest Gletch Gulch. Checks may be made payable to the Ernest Gletch Gulch Memorial Fund . . . last but not least, the student babysitters who made it possible for so many Alums to come Back to College Nov. 3. This little experiment came to be known as Child Psychology Lab Before-we-put-our-soapbox-away-again-Dep't.: In all the divergent opinions on Feeling Safe, we almost forgot about one of our favorite gripes: student-faculty relations, and in particular, the lack of a place to cement them This very topic, it seems, has been under fire from both students and faculty alike, but if you will forgive an almost unforgivable triteness, everyone is talking about it and no one is doing anything about it. Knowing the faculty is one of the most valuable experiences of a col lege career, and in spite of over-done funnies about Brownism, our in structors have something definite to give up outside of class as well as in, and they are obliged to give it. And, if we may be so bold, we the students may have something to give to them in the way of ideas and opinions, and we are just as obligated. The two sides, we would surmise, are ready and willing, but the problem seems to be where this fascinating exchange is going to take place. Lewis is not really conducive to discussion (those orange and yellow chairs are fine for Diet-Rite and Andy Williams, but they scream out in protest at hot tea and Martin Buber ); the only other place that we may smoke (and smoking, let us say, is a requisite for clear thinking, at least to the College girl) is the Tearoom, which closes at a key time in the morning and at 2:30 in the afternoon. Frankly, our vote goes most assuredly to the Tearoom, picturesque and dark, because it somehow possesses an atmosphere that is right for intelligent conversation. It is hallowed, and even medieval, and a retreat from the blase brittleness of more modern edifices. At any rate, it does seem to be the best bet for students to think in, and it is certainly more convenient for faculty. And before we close, just one rebellious suggestion: many faculty mem bers have already taken to having morning coffee with students at student tables: we wondered whether this innovation might even someday extend to such things as lunch-eating. No student could eat at the Faculty Tables, but we are more than willing, and even eager, in fact, to open our undergraduate hearts and tables to them Dearies Are Discussing: ... all the articles on slipping college morals: is there nothing good to be said about our dating patterns, etc. ad infinitum? . . . the class coke dances, both their general effectiveness (usually dull, dull, dull ) and the strange behavior of many male guests, who should be Down-at-the-Teenie-Ball rather than at a college dance .. . and the Pledge Plan (Rocks to Richards, as it is familiarly called), this year complicated, but undoubtedly more imaginative and whimsical . . . writer Mary McCarthy's new novel, bitterly witty, about six little Vassar College girls and how they grew; The Group ... the Ecumenical Council, and its discussion of things that will be of lasting import to us as tomor row's lay leaders: overpopulation, mixed marriages, updating of a great many institutions that can use the Vatican facelifting of the far-sighted Paul VI. Pandora Lung Cancer Link Initiates Action; College Papers Ban Cigarette Ads He who lives without tobacco has nothing to live for, remarked Moliere, in the 17th century. But today a college student who shares the French playwright's opinion will have to look beyond the pages of his campus paper to discover any advertising reference to the ciga rette industry. Last June the Tobacco Insti tute announced its intention to discontinue cigarette advertising in college publications and to halt the free distribution of cigarettes on campus. Although the Institute holds that its decision is based on the theory that smoking is an adult custom, a recent article in America cited events which may have prompted the move. In October, 1962, Main Events, the evening division paper of the College of the City of New York, dropped cigarette advertising. In the light of research which links cigarette smoking with lung cancer, Main Events' editors stated, We feel that we are condoning ciga rette smoking by allowing place ment of advertising space at a time when it is impossible to overlook the facts of cigarette surveys. The editors then launched a program encouraging other pa pers to follow their example. Colleges across the nation re ceived letters and wrote columns advocating the dropping of ciga rette ads. Chicago entered the campaign last spring, and in April, the Illi nois division of the American Can cer Society cooperating with Coc cyx (the University of Chicago group organized to eliminate ciga rette advertising from college pa pers) sponsored a conference Col lege Newspapers and Cigarette Advertising. At the conference, represen tatives from the medical and ad vertising fields presented their views on the controversial sub ject. Instigators of the confer ence suggested that the editors, representing 18 colleges in the Chicago area, refuse to renew their cigarette advertising con tracts for the 1963-64 school year. The ideas promulgated by the anti-smoking ads groups were not spontaneously accepted by all col leges. Many had no intention of losing up to 50 per cent of their Linguists Stage Fiesta Weekend The Spanish departments of Mundelein and Loyola will co-spon sor a Latin American Culture Weekend, Nov. 15-17 to acquaint students with the cultural aspects of the Hispanic-American world. A Latin American Exposition will be held in the Loyola Union Friday through Sunday afternoon, with a Mexican band providing the music for a Fiesta Saturday at 8 p.m. Sister Mary Terese Avila, B.V.M., chairman of Mundelein's Spanish department, Reverend Em manuel Ortiz, S.J., a member of the Loyola modern language de partment and Peggy Clements, president of the Mundelein Spanish club have organized the program.

But the To bacco Institute's decision in June brought an abrupt halt to the de bate. As a result, this fall found pages of most college papers lack ing cigarette ads. All the concern was first pro voked by the findings of Dr. Ernest L. Wynder, who in 1950 publicized the fact that smoking seemed to be connected with lung cancer. Since then increased investigation has supported his theory. President John F. Kennedy has recently appointed a committee of ten scientists to investigate the re search in an effort to determine the precise effects of cigarette smoking.
