Great Men Embrace
Noble Professions
Continuously impressive is
the nobility of our professional
students residing on campus.
Often has superb comment
been made to bestow upon
these highly dignified students
of the interworkings of the
United States way of life and
power therein, the majestic yet
tranquil veneration of which
they as the future controllers
of the law are so worthily due
for their concerned and con
centrated efforts to form an al
most mystical union with a just
and fair way of thinking and of
dealing with others and to es
tablish an ingratiating de
meanor which reflects the cer
titude and the fortitude of
their intentions to a noble pro
fession.
Indeed the high qualitative
degree of thought attention
concentration which must cer
tainly be necessary to such an
expounding endeavor and
which can be achieved only
through great robustness of
mind and will is reflected in
the necessary and vigorously
serene leisure activities which
they undertake in order to pro
vide daily restoration and re
freshment for those who parti
cipate in the continuing search
for truthftil affairs and moral
culmination, for often our
noble professional students can
be seen to be actively reinstat
ing the well-being of their ex
cellent bodies in which their
aggrandized minds function as
they communally share in the
stringency of the throwing of
the discus above the blades of
grass which span the horizon
from the structural enhouse-
ment in which our noble pro
fessional students follow that
academic program which shall
lead them to a still greater and
fuller life.
As the afternoon progresses
from sight the unyielding em
ployment of the morning hours
and the promise of the next
morning spur our nobie profes-
sional students to avail
themselves of the opportunities
and the wonders of the night as
they stride forth and cannot be
seen in their well established
hunt for invigoration and stim
ulation, in order that they who
are our noble professional stu
dents may once again take

stamina as they prosecute the
challenges of the following
morning. ,
Whether the hours sur
rounding are those bearing
upon that course of study from
which our noble professional
students shall emerge as notori
ous men of peace and freedom
or the hours are those which
reinstate the mental and physi
cal upstanding of said noble
professional students, the ex
cellence of dialogue and con
sideration unto both those fel
lows who share in the pilgrim
age of so suitable and honored
a work and those whose excel
lent proceedings see them en
deavor to be also meritorious
of equal heights of undertaking
deems itself of a dignity and in-
falibility quite noted for our
noble professional students, for
at all times one stands amazed
in the presence of the ennobled
and classical verbalization
exuding born their embou
chures and esteems the right
eousness, the meekness, and
the equitableness which are the
chronic solicitudes in the con
tinuing life and reason of our
noble professional students.

You Said It • by Bob Davies
Question: What did you think of President Nixon’s November 3rd Viet Nam speech?
Larry Shep
herd (student):
“I didn’t think
that there was
enough signifi
cance in his
statement to
warrant a' na
tionwide ad
dress. I felt that
Shepherd he said little
that I had not heard before.”
Alvin Wright
(student): “I
don’t think he
said anything
that hasn’t been
said before. He
seems to be
only trying to
buy time. He
seems to be
more concerned Wright
about his political career than
P it.” Elijah Light-
foot (student):
“I don’t think
that he said any
th i n g worth
while — any
thing that he
hasn't said be
fore. Same plan,
same ideas he
Lightfoot had before
when he started out, same talk.
Frankly I don’t think he has a
plan to get us out of Viet Nam.
I was disappointed.”
Randy
Meincke (stu
dent): “Within
limits he did
nothing more
than define pre
vious adminis
tration policy.
It seems though
his troop with
drawal schedule Meincke
was just a pacifier. It gave him
plenty of leeway to keep the
troop level the same. Even
though it’s for us to criticize
his policies, it would be diffi
cult if we were
easy in his posi
tion to come
out with any
more positive
measures.”
Jerry Stone
(administrator):
“I was disap
pointed because
I thought after
the publicity build-up that he
was going to say something. I
think that he had something to
release that
didn’t material-1
ize. I'd have to
give him the I
benefit of the I
doubt that
something did|
go wrong.”
Diane Wood
(student): “Ii
didn’t even hear
it."
Because I’m in favor of total
withdrawal. I
think he is only
prolonging thel
issues that face |
him.”
Stone
Wood
Thomas H. Hines (student):
“I think President Nixon said
exactly what I would think he
would say under the pressures
that existed. His
speech was no
thing but an ap
peasement to
the people. He
said nothing of
ending the war
in a defined
period of time.
/ He only talked
Hines o f withdrawals
on the basis of his timetable.
Ellen Young |
(student):
‘‘Really 1 feel I
that it’s thel
same thing that!
he said before. Young
He's done what he said he
would do and as of now I don’t
think there
could be exactly
an immediate
withdrawal. I’m
for what he’s
trying to do in
Viet Nam. In
the coming
years I believe
we will find that
Brim met what he has
done was beneficial.”
Harvey Brimmer (student):
“Actually I did
hear all of It,,
but what I
heard didn’t lm-1
press me — just |
the tame old
stuff.”
Judy Woods
(student):
“Well, I think it
was a little Woods
vague. It was sort of to scare
the North Viet
Nameee in their
escalation of the
war. But I think
that It was all
that he could
do.”

Ingmar Bergman’s daadc
film, “The Devil’s Eye,” was
shown to a Mercer audience on
Thursday, October 30. The
crowd found many of the lines
outrageously funny because of
meanings that were either loot
or gained through translation.
The only drawback to the film
wm inevitable; dnee it is a
Swedtoh film without dubbing,
than was a ust amity for sub
titles with people straining and
looking over heads and around
shoulders to catch everything
said.
The film was about two
characters, Don Juan and
Pablo, who was Don’s aaristanL
Don Juan and Pablo had been
sentenced to Hell. The Devil
sends Juan and Pablo to the
teal world to prevent a girl
from getting married while still
a virgin. To rectify this to Don
Juan’s assignment. The test of
the film to all about Don Juan’s
attempted seduction of the vir
gin girl and Pablo’s similar ac
tivities with the parson’s wife,
who to the girl’s mother. Any
way, Don Juan fails, goes back
to Hell, and gets “bell” from
the boas.
On a deeper level, the movie
illustrates the classic struggle
between good and evil. Never
theless, you can’t help but
sympathise with Don Juan be
cause of his uncool coolness.
“The Devil’s Eye” to a highly
recommended film if you can
hack subtitles.
