t— Once the barnacled train pulls into Grand Central Sta- tion, a visitor ' s senses are overwhelmed by the city. Lunch time in Times Square is altogether different from coneys in Freimann Square. Strolling down Fifth Avenue differs manifestly from cruis- ing down South Calhoun. One is not more exalted than the other, it is exalting to experi- ence the richness of each. It is hoped people might be like the train which has yellowed with all the life it has carried, and the miles it has gone. City lights are like the trains of New York. City lights are not only a magnet which pulls one to a level of life always higher than the last, but they challenge people to sense the existence of lives, cultures, and ideas other than their own. We can remain forever ensconced in our own adequate, albeit pro- tected environment. Or one can journey beyond the walls and light out in search of new horizons. City lights are blink- ing in the distance, and they beckon to us. Let us answer them.

Postcards From Home And Away The trains of New York have their windows cleaned about every time a Pope visits. All manner of fumes, and an atmosphere like steaming cof- fee, have burned into the win- dows a yellow hue. Only a young tourist, who has dreamt of the world, struggles for any length of time to see the New York countryside rushing past. Through the stained win- dows, the cows and the junk cars and the telephone poles look eerily alike as they whiz by. Indeed, from out of a yel- low train window, one part of the country looks very much like another. The same train rails, the same telephone wire, and the same concrete criss- cross the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

PAGE OF LISTS The history of our times includes an accounting of our manners, morals, and lei- sure time. Hence, the miasma of lists on this page and the next. Teenagers spend an inordinate amount of money on records and movies. Peo- ple sprawl for hour after hour, in a wide eyed and drooling stupor, gazing at the flicker- ing images on a television set. Some read books. Some thumb sports pages eagerly for baseball news. There are countless ways to let an hour drift painlessly out of this life, and here listed are a few of the ports toward which our attentions repeatedly drifted. albums 1.
