Nobody slept while Apollo was in orbit fclassrooms are for sleepingl. The Year of the Wedding In September, our Club Editor, Kathleen Liedtke became Mrs. Roger Lee in a lovely ceremony on the University of Miami campus. The wedding was well attended by friends, staff and faculty of lVl-DJCN. Jackie Kennedy was married, in November, to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. People have argued since then as to why she married him, listing pro and con reasons. His moneyg her children, his ageg his present life, his past life fincluding his divorcejg her religion, his age, her actions, his religion, their possible future lives, and his age. After reviewing the Greek wedding ceremony, however, we can see no other reason for the marriage but love. Why else would she endure: being pelted with rice and almonds, fto insure happiness, fertility and obesityjg 0 Ir n bars do not a prison make. having her feet stomped on by her husband fto show his superiorityjg and sacrifice being buried in Arlington Cemetery when she dies? Anyone who is willing to go through all this is clearly in love. Completing the love triangle, another Nixon- Eisenhower coalition was solidified in December, with Julie and David's wedding. Deciding against a White House ceremony, complete with TV coverage, they chose, instead, that bastion of Positive Thinking, and walked down the aisle to say their I doisi' to Norman Vincent Peale.

You get Sand In Your Shoes whether you want it or notg problems when the world lost faith in the franc. De Gaulle was not alone-the M-DICN cafeteria had similar problems. CFC and IOC, dissatisfied with the cafeteria's frank Qamong other thingsj, called for a boycott of the establishment. Resistance ended a short time later when the cafeteria's business in- creased to an even higher level than before the strike. Maybe our administration could straighten out France's problems too? Huckleberry Finn was found to be objectionable to black students and Vice-President Garner disregarded faculty recommendations and ordered Huck dropped from the required reading list While maintaining that he felt the faculty should be the major professional PA Pf,4 ' Hifi AJ LE SOWED Dllx '..L force in making up the curriculumf, We wonder if the Jewish students will rise against discrimination and request that Shakespeare's G'Merchant of Venice be banned? After all, Shylock is depicted as a pretty disreputable character, and think of Romeo and Juliet ,carrying on as they did. Scandalous! Fagin was a fence and worse, a corruptor of youthful morals. And by far, the foulest of foul, The Bible, which exposes innocent minds to prostitution, bigamy, murder and gobs of debauchery. ls it safe to let people read the classics? S. l. Hayakawa, the fighting prexy of San Francisco State College, made many freshmeat positively anti-semantic last Fall. While struggling for his microphone he was knocked down, but not out, and recovering quickly, wreaked ven- geance on his numerous assailants with a chop-chop. He does not play with Words-that's punny. He fights with words and that's not funny.

HUBERT HUMPHREY: When he was a little boy he liked to play at being Napoleon. 1968 brought him to his Waterloo. The big question is, will Nixon banish him to Elba or Da Nang? Meanwhile, on campus politics created a stir when two cabinet nominees were rejected because the offices they would have held would have constituted ufeatherbed- ding? Our question is, were the two rejects banished to the same place that railroad firemen go? William Buckley, who usually sends his audience running to their nearest Funk and Wagnall's, and who seldom uses less than five syllable words, called Gore Vidal a nqueera' on a national television debate to the delight of his less literate viewers who needed no translation. ls it only a rumor that in retaliation Vidal will write a sequel to his screenplay, The Best Man , and call it mllhe Best Conservativew, casting Shirley Temple Black as William Buckley? Meanwhile M-DJCN held their political debate, consisting of six me debaters, representing the three political candidates, and an audience of eight, including two reluctant reporters. Name calling was far more subtle and far less personal. Politics does indeed make strange bedfellows. M-DJCN held Open House, for parents and friends of students, in November. Claudia Alta fbetter known as Ladybirdj also held open house for Pat Nixon, giving her the grand tour of the big housew, and LBJ met with Richard Nixon and expressed a distaste for co-presidencies. Here come de judge , Abe Fortas? Nope, guess again. 1 , li l X Is This Open House?
