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 by Jerry Holder 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. Around Campus 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.” Unclaimed Freight, Inc.

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.
