About a doren Mercer students are learning the centuries-old art
of fencing this quarter under the instruction of Mr. Anthony Stansfeld,
former captain of his class' fencing team at Oxford University in
England.
During tha spring and winter
partem, Mr. Stansfeld teaches at
Msrcer and he writes and travels
hr the remainder of the year. He la
British subject and spends a part
d each year in England.
A number of yearn ago Mr. Stane-
taught fencing as a part of
Meecar physical education da-
infs curriculum, but he says
he finds the “volunteer” meth-
I more satisfactory.
As fencing students, Mercerians
am to be as adept as their Eng-
•b counterparts according to Mr.
kinsfsld. He believes the attrac
ts to fencing is its ability to tone
muscles and he also recommends it
for keeping trim.
This past year Mr. Stansfeld
spent pert of his time away from
Mercer in Italy and Portugal. Each
summer he takes a group of stu
dents on a tour of Europe. For
the first time, this summer he will
include Russia in the itinerary.
Traveling is the subject of most
of Mr. Stansfeld’s published books
such as House in the Sun and
Tradewind Islands written under
the pseudonym Dane Chandios.
His current literary endeavor
in a new field for him—history.
He is writing a Mexican history.
According to Mr. Stansfield, Mexi
co is a most charming country with
“the most superb dimate.” He has
been fascinated by Mexico during
his stays there.
Mr. Stansfeld’s varied occupa
tions have included banking, ac
counting, a abort jaunt in the Navy
during World War 11 and teaching.
When asked what he would do if
he had to remain in one place for
an entire year, he replied, “Why,
I might just have to cut my throat!"

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
The author of last week’s article concerning the potential loss of
money which he thinks Mercer students are suffering seems to be afflict
ed with an Einstein complex. His theory of relativity being rejected by
the student body, he now attempts to levy blamn on the Student Senate
—where criticism was neither appropriate nor relative!! He admits that
his accusations of the Student Senate do not give “a completely ac
curate picture,” but he fails to admit his own artistic inaptitude. Had
his partial picture been complete, he would have seen that the Senate's
alleged approval of the laundry discount plan was conditioned upon the
student body’s response to it
Obviously the plan should stand upon it’s own merit and not upon
the theory that Student Senate should act as a Sno-White “On Campus
Representative.” An attempt by Student Senate to force students to
send laundry to any particular establishment requires more starch than
the democratic system allows. We feel that each student should be free
to choose his personal Sanitone service. If the savings plan is worth
while, then perhaps it will be placed in President Johnson’s frugality
program along with the Compulsory Green Stamps Savings Plan.
Sincerely,
Nathan Deal, Pres. Student Gov’t Assn.
Tommy Fairdoth Pres. Student Senate
Carl Rollins, Pres. Senior Clkss
(Editor—Gosh. It’s news to me to learn that the Student Senate ap
prove! of the laundry program was to be withheld until the Senators
learned whether or not it was successful. Ill bet President Johnson
whites he could withhold executive approval of the Compulsory Green
Stamp Savings Plan until he finds out how well it works. That’s the
politically safe way to run a government.
Heaven forbid that the Senator* “force” students to cany out an
SGA program. But as noted last week, “dynamic leadership” would be
a nice thing to see at Mercer. Couldn’t hurt to try.)
