1 FROM THEWAESCULAPIAN: l A Thump Snout Ol On The Orthodoxy Or: An Apology For Luther Hippocleides Doesn'fCu1e. Herodofus It was not by mere chance that Luther Rice Mills, IV, was se- lected to edit the CADAVER during the 1964-65 MedicalCol- lege season. lt was by the de- sign of a certain vested in- terest group. not an editor people'I but a 'of the vested He represents 'yet insidious, Mills, then, is of the so-called handpicked tool interest group. a rather silent, minority, which has managed to ' infiltrate the top positions in the various student publications .. Many students have said, Sure somebody had a headache -- but why take it out on us Others, more enraged, have attacked our beloved editor bodily -- forcing him to lay about himself with his umbrella, to protect his person. But, the vested interest group was dead keen on having Luther, and, as this brief profile unfolds, the ulti- mate validity of their choice will become more apparent. Luther Mills is a bit ofa guttersnipe, with a propensity towards shiftlessness. At an early age he fell in with evil companions and eventually be- came a black-hearted reaction- ary. I shouldn't like to delve into his personal tastes, but by and large, he prefers good big hefty wenches, draught beer, strong tobacco, and an occasional whiskey. Mills' own favorite maxim is: No people do so much harm as those who go about doing good. CCreightonl And, true to this maxim, he never goes about do- ing good: as a matter of fact, he usually does rather badly. People have often said, The CADAVER is soulless, Gian- dul, McKinney, Mills, Penning- ton, Speir, et. all I say to you, Mills has a soul --however, small and black. l-le will cru- sade, in the traditional quixotic manner, for the rights of the student. Mills will bring the soul back to the CADAVER. The time is hardly ripe to dis- cuss the almost legendary ex- ploits of Luther Mills during the past few years -- his fabled drinking bouts, his secret society, his squalid flat, his anglomania, etc. -- we all know the stature of the man. As Dr. Genzi once remarked, Mr. Mills embodies those particular qualities so uniquely necessary in the editor of the CADAVER.. he is a flamboyant eccentric. . . he is aggressively meek . . . he is belligerently humble. . .he is a swell fellow. When you see our beloved edi- tor pattering about the campus, his small, emaciated, con- sumptive body, thick spectacles, and incoherent harangues may disappoint you. l-lowever, as for me, I rather like bad wine . . . one gets so bored with good wine.

It s all right: I m here to help you. DOCTOB'S FEELG00ll Compliments to that fanatical- ly religious body, the freshman class, for their sponsorship of the annual spiritual revival and faith healing session held re- cently. The noted healer and soother of ills, Piano Red, held forth an inimicable style in what IHLISE be remembered as one of the best revivals in recent years. The remorseful sight as hundreds of the infirmed and sick arrived was soon made specious by the sacred majesty of the music and the healing powers of the holy brew, which was ingested by, and showered upon, the ardent worshipers . One dampening effect to the evening was provided by the ar- rival of a damnable non-believ- er, of some pagen creed, who s printed through the crowd seek- ing some virgin to sacrifice, and when unsuccessful in this attempt, performed the ancient liturgy of the flying double som- ersault and libation pouring, thus horrifying the crowd. He soon became an apostate and embraced the true religion: the party ending on that happy note . NX The V sign is the symbol of the unconquerahle will . . .
