To be included in the pro- Midlil are works by Albeniz, Bach, Dodgson, Paganini, Praet- orius, and Scarlatti. Judging by the reviews he has gotten elsewhere, program should be well worth attending, even for Teckers. The New York Times gave him a rave review, commenus especially on the superb performance of Dodgson's "Partita" which was written especially for Williams. Williams has risen rapidly to the limelight from his begin- nings in Melbourne, Australia in 1941.

The crime rate is increasing at about 50 per cent per year, promiscuity is an established fact in many social strata, and over half the people on welfare have automobiles. Worst of all, however, the United States of America is fighting a war in Southeast Asia without informing its soldiers, its population, or the world just what its motives are. Contrast to this the dedication, selflessness, and patriotism of the Communists. Fighting a nation with at least ten times North Vietnam's population, a country which has more troops in South Vietnam than North Vietnam has in its entire army, Ho Chi Minh quietly informed his people recently that they must except Hanoi and Haiphong to be utterly demolished before the end of the war. To that extent are they willing to sacrifice. Gung-Ho, Ho We must admit that if the Communists engaged in this so-called "Cold War" are not more highly motivated than the West-erners, they are at least more strongly motivated. They are bet- ter organized, they have clearer goals, and, most disastrous of all for us, their system has so far proved to be much more efficient in underdeveloped nations than ours. We might militarily win the war in Vietnam, but economically, what can we offer besides Food for Peace? Why should a thinking man (even Viceroy smokers) fight the Communists then? Their economic system isn't so bad, except that in order to use it, a totalitarian dictatorship imposes its authority in every Communist country. If we want to continue to write, work, or even think without regard for what the regime will "tolerate," we cannot embrace a Communist solution, no matter how well-tailored to the individual country it claims to be. Al- ways and everywhere, in every manner and in every form, thinkers must fight for the freedom to think. Neo-Dullesism If we are opposed to Communism in this country, then how do we fight it? McCarthyism is pure fear—a passionate sus- picion that harms more innocent people than it helps. Indeed, outlawing the Communist party and arresting all Communists is a negation of our treasured freedom of thought. Lyndon-John-sonism, or Who-Says-the-U.S.-Can't-Be-a-World-Policeman, is as doomed to failure as the previous efforts by Louis XIV's France and Hitler's Germany to conquer the world. If protecting Viet- nam means fighting in Thailand too, and then maybe Burma, then perhaps Haiti, we had better realize now that most of the world is opposed to being ruled by Americans. No, the best way to protect liberty is to exercise it. If the populations of the underdeveloped nations of the world decide that Communism is for them, then no matter what we do they will get it. The main danger to this country, however, is that we will abdicate our freedoms in the pressures of the times. Instead of becoming increasingly concerned that the war is spreading, most people support the Presidential policy each time Johnson escalates the war. Other countries of the world, notably France, are in the process of surrendering to nationalism, and if we do too, if we refuse to examine politics with our own minds and make our own decisions and instead follow blindly the exhortations of our leaders, then we will have lost exactly what we're trying to protect. —Michael Meo John Middleditch Save Our Souls Ah, for those idyllic days after midterms when we wrote an editorial dripping with self-pity! We didn't know the meaning of misfortune back there when the only cloud in the sky was a little black patch no bigger than a man's hand. Now, as we buck the hurricane winds, as the storm lashes around us, destroying our hearth and home, as the world crumbles beneath our feet, we need help. Hoo boy, do we need help! The California Tech has no copy editor. You know, the little fella that checks to see that the speeling is correct. It has no managing editor, which means that we editors-in-chief have to do all the layout work It has no features editor, no news editor, and no photography editor. Besides, our staff is under-sized. M & M have too much power. In order to continue providing this school with yet greater achievements of journalistic excellence, we need more reporters, more editors, and more photographers. Everyone is welcome to add English 15 (three units) to his schedule and work for the newspaper, regardless of race, color, creed, or blood type.

Two of the plays seen were avant-garde productions: the Chicago City Players presented "Automobile Graveyard" and an- group performed a play entitled "The Monkey Cage." The two plays were singular, the first being a retelling at Thelintst story with Jesus as a jazz musi-cian, and the other a tale of the nature of life and love in our present society. Summer in the city The theme of the conterence was "a vision of the city," plored in as many aspects of its nature as possible. The politics of the city, the tempo of the city, love in the city, and the pnysical nature of the city, all were topics of discussion. However the major problem under consideration was the life of people in the city, especially in the slums. The conclusion reached was that the evils of the city are symptomatic of our society and its institutions. No amount of social work can at leviate the problems in the ghettos unless steps allaken remold the society. This was the theme of Professor Robert Theo-bold, keynote speaker of the assembly and a theme that ran through the minds of most of the delegates. More Notices WANT TO SAIL?

It took me several weeks to formulate a proper plan for the revenge I meant to take against this evil man. At length I struck upon a plan ingenious that I felt it could not fail. If it did, I feared that I, too, would be lost. It was on a cold, overcast day 1n March that I began the proceedings. It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given the cook cause to doubt my good will. I continued to smile in his face, as was my wont, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his impending doom. It was about dusk one eve-ning, during a week of powdered eggs and brown lettuce, that I encountered my friend. He accosted me with warmth and asked me how I fared. "I have been told of a book in the library," I said, "that tells of 118 ways to cook potatoes, and I am just on my way to look at it." "How?" said he. "118 ways? Potatoes? "I have my doubts," I said. "118 ways! Impossible! I must see such a book. Come, let us go." "Whither?" I asked. "To the library." "My friend, no; I will not impose upon your good nature. I perceive you have an engage ment."

The burden for making last year's Totem such a success fell on the Freshman class, which constituted its entire editorial staff. Unless this year's Freshman class picks up some of the burden from this year's sophomores (the late, lamented Stonum and Alfin, for example), Totem will return to a state of limbo. As a matter of fact, we think the freshman class this year, while probably more "well-rounded" than any previous class in memory, is participating in a significantly fewer number of extracurricular activities than its predecessors.

Flems Win IH Swimming Once Again As expected, Fleming rather easily dominated the Interhouse swimming title. As there was no contest for first place, the real fight was for second. Ruddock Dabney, and Page were all within four points of each other. After the first four there was a sharp drop-off with Lloyd, Blacker, and Ricketts finishing in that order with very few Jollies Fleming won easily by taking three individual firsts, a first in a relay, and having great depth each event. Ralph Kimbrell took firsts in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle races, just as he did last year. Although his times of 25.8 and 1:01.1 were slightly worse than last year's, he was seriously challenged. Tom Miller won the 50 yard butter fly in 29.5, while the Flems won the freestyle relay in 1:50.0. Ruddock eased into behind Jim second place McWilliams' first in the 50 yd backstroke and the record-breaking medley relay team. The team of McWil liams, Erno Daniel, Van Stocker, and Bill Butterworth set a new Interhouse record with a great 2:05.3. Dabney edged out Page for third by half a point, which is just revenge for Page edging Dabney by half a point last year. Their main strength was in diving, where Johnson, Lutz, and Hartstein took the first three places. Page had one first, John Healy's 32.7 in the 50 yard breast-stroke. With the conclusion of first term's sports, standings are as follows: Fleming-104, Page 80 Dabney-72 Ruddock-64, Rick- etts-56, Lloyd-40, and Blacker-32 The next sport is tennis, coming up.

The meat comes from experimental animals in bio- logy ..." "No!" I said, and my disgust must have shown in my voice, for the cook became suddenly apprehensive. "Where are you taking me?" he demanded. "No one has ever come as far back as this corner library. Where is the book?" "Yes, the book!" I cried, and tied him quickly to a corner book shelf. As I began to pile books in front of him he must have gotten a gilmose of my scheme. "What are you doing?" he asked, and began to tremble. I made no reply, but continued piling the books and cementing them in place. "What are you using for mor-tar?" he quaked, fearful now for his life.
