ATO to Party at Kraft’s Lake:
“American liberalism needs to bring its commitments into
balance with its resources — overseas and at home,” says
Daniel P. Moynihan, Director of the Joint Center for Urban
Studies of M.I.T. and Harvard.
Its failure thus far to do so—and
its consequent failure to deliver on
its overly ambitious undertakings—
sic largely responsible, he contends
for the disillusionment that has
prompted today’s widespread radi
cal protest of American youth, and
such signs of danger us rioting cities
and turbulent campuses.
Unthinking encouragement of
bloated expectation leads young
persons to compare forecast with
outcome and to conclude hypocrisy
snd duplicity are at work,” writes
the former Kennedy Administra
tion official in the opening article
ip the special Youth Issue of THE
AMERICAN SCHOLAR.
"What is asked of us is honesty;
and what that requires is a great
deal more irgor in matching our
performance to our standards. It is
now the only way to maintain the
reditibility of those standards
"There is altogether too much
that is shoddy and derivative, and
in the final sense dishonest, about
American life . . . The foundations
of fiopular confidence in our system
are proving to be nothing like so
solid and enduring as the confident
liberal establishment has sup
posed.”
Youth’s tumultuous protests have
been generated, says Mr. Moyni
han. by such phenomena as:
1. Our involvement in “an in-
reasingly dangerous and costly ef
fort"’ to extend the American sys
tem abroad, in consequence of "our
optimism, belief in progress, and
the iiossibility of achieving human
happiness on earth .... The irony,
of course, is that it is just because
our own history has been so unique
that we are led to suppose that the
lystem that has emerged from it
can be made worldwide. It is an ef
fort to fail .... Liberals have sim
ply got to restrain their enthusiasm
for civilizing others."

If there ever comes a time when
Mercer gets as dead as it appears
to have been lately, then we might
as well transfer. Fortunately there
has, and will be some activity at
least socially. Actually all that in
activity that you experienced was
an illusion. Last weekend there was
a Kappa Sig party although this
column has no officiul information
about it. There was also a Pi Kappa
Phi Hayride, although this column
has no official information about it.
It is : turned that the Phi Delt’s
and Sigma Nu’s did something be
sides hibernate, although this col
umn has no official information
about it. So it appears that part of
the reason that there is no social
news is that there are some who are
too lazy to report it.
The only significant social event
this weekend is the ATO party. As
usual the Tau's will have a pre-
party warm up, and then at the
dance there will be a top flight
band as yet unannounced. The last
big Tau party was at Slowcomb’s
Lake and it will serve as the model
for this one. There was a little get-
together, not exactly of party classi
fication held at the lodge last week
end. The two ATO sweethearts,
Mary Lucas and Carol Gagen,
treated the Tau’s to a Great Pump
kin celebration, complete with
cookies and the Great Pumpkin, a
handsome creature. The ATO
travelling teams did return from
Florida, full of excitement over
their great reception. Right Tuffy?
The city limits was as close to the
field as they cared to get.
The SAE's also sent their repre
sentatives to this great spectacular,
but then last weekend the SAE’s
were all over the South. Would you
believe John Gifford and Tommy
Willis went to Birmingham, almost
never to return? Yes, mighty Ruth
Askew did saw the day and bring
them back. Bruce Gibson and Susan
Wiseman did go to a reunion in
Chapel Hill of the boys that work
ed with Bruce in Massachusetts.
Bruce, did Gwynn make it?

Phi Mu and Sigma Nu bold party for orphans on Halloween.
GCudtez CfizC
Get your feet wet this week? Cluster girl this week is Nancy Smith
a Phi Mu senior, who is Sigma Nu sweetheart.
Home. The following young ladies
were serenaded and presented with
white roses this past week: Miss
Theresa Swetz (pinned), Philis
Price (engaged), Carolyn Crowe
(engaged) and Mrs. Virginia Hunt
er (you figure it out).
Back in the lion's den, Glenn
Kirbo took Kay Askew and “Otis”
Meadows on a retreat to Columbus
prior to their initiation as little sis
ters last Sunday night Hooch and
his Frau from Wesleyan dropped
by Columbus to check on the re
treat after he dropped, or was he,
pushed, in at Calloway. On the
pinning and lavalier front it might
be noted that the surprise move of
the year was the unexpected pin
ning of lovely Miss Beth Thomas,
last week’s Cluster girl, to Mark
Steinbeck last Sunday. Monday
night saw both Mark and David
Hudson drenched in the showers
despite Mark's fierce tray battle
prior to his capture.
