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?

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. Politically Speaking RICHARD DALEY: If I've made a mistake l've asked for forgiveness, just as l've forgiven othersfl He also said: '4Good government is good politicsf' He meant: The only good uyippiew is a bruised Myippief, . . .nor vending machines a meal.

Rumor has it that M-DJCN will institute new Y courses for keeping students alive and happy for longer periods of time. They're called, No Final Exams and Abolishment of Term Papers. , T l., A Soviet naval doctor, on a rg submarine, removed his own Q appendix using only novocaine as an anesthetic. The opera- 4 tion was a success. Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Nlasiko, President of M-DJC performed major sur- gery on the faculty, using no anesthetic at all. Both of Dr. lVIasiko's cases were fatalities. Dr. Benjamin Spock made headlines across the country when the babies raised on his book began burning draft cards and protesting, with his encouragement. M-DJCN hasn't had much of that kind of trouble Qperhaps the mothers of these boys applied the book to the seat of the problemj. 7 ' rs xref I . .1 ,,, ,Hy ,.,, . :i . ,-. f- ll':.r.: w -5.-'-'-.:-5--1.

Where did I go wrong? FREEDOM OF THE PRESS The Birmingharn.fAlabamaj News suspended, for two weeks in October, the comic strip, NPogo , from the paper because it poked unfair fun at third party candidate, George Wallace. At M-DJCN two Falcon Times reporters were banished from the Student Government Office for poking around in the wastebaskets. The Falcon Times and the Falcon Yearbook Magazine walked away with top honors at the Florida Junior College Press Association Conven- tion held in beautiful downtown Clearwater, last November. Nobel prize winners were also named in that month. . I ' You can bet that this ticket won't get the T I GTO to the Policemenis Ball.
