The Great John L. "I view John Lewis with the same awe some respect I do a murderer or Adolf Hitler." This opinion expressed by a meditative Carolina student sums up pretty well our feelings. What must the martyred peoples of the world think! This great fort of democracy, this stronghold of freedom, this arsenal for all right thinking peoples, this United States of America which harnessed time, men, in dustry, energy, yea life, to right a wrong the wrong that ultimately arrives with the might and power invested and trusted to one man; this America of ours has been tossed into a catastrophic economic maelstrom by one man. What must the martyred peoples of the world think! We have spent billions of doll ars and thousands of lives to defcat the cause of suffering of many; yet, chaos is at the command of one man here. No matter how worthy labor's cause, no matter who time proves to be right, who is to gain? Our government has already lost millions in income taxes. Thousands are jobless. Life-giving supplies to the world are choked. Our economic backbone is jolted daily; surely it will break. Whether *the court's injunction and con viction against Lewis is constitutional is for legal minds to settle. Our question is: Is it right, by all tenets of our way of life, for one man to hold the power to control the destiny of the masses? Needed: Stargazers Mankind needs a new dream. The old dreams are threadbare with use and abuse. They have been kicked around so much that they no longer mean anything. The frontier has vanished. The concepts of liberty, justice and democracy have lost their meanings or have become the topics for endless debate. Men have learned to fly like birds, swim like fishes and burrow in the ground like moles. And fight like mad dogs. Mankind needs a new dream-a dream that is new in its hopes of realization, yet as old as the races of man itself, that was dreamed when the first man reached his hand toward the stars. Man has the technical ability and the scientific knowledge today to reach the stars. The army is conducting experiments with guided rockets and predicts that it will reach the moon within 18 months.

This is the problem. A system must be devised and set up to control the limits of right in this case. England's solution was forced ' and has brought socialism. Industry there would not, or did not, concern itself with the work ers. The idea was to make money without investing in their own industries, investing in the worker's welfare. The English miner's working conditions were worse than ours ever have been. The war forced the gov ernment to take over the mines and con script labor. Standards, such as they were, were raised. The war ended, and industry readily conceded the impossibility of main taining the status quo, or of meeting the future demands of progress, hence, govern ment control. Our union leaders say such action abolishes "free enterprise." Is there any course left when at the word of one man one group can run rough shod over its government and bring untold suffering to billions. Whether socialism in a large or small de gree is an answer remains to be seen. It may take a constitutional amendment. It might be wise to draft all miners into the Army and then order them to work; we are still at war. A solution must be reached in all haste. The consequences are obvious and im pending. Is John Lewis the only leader in our country today? If the nations of the earth would pour their resources into the conquest of the uni verse, they might have no time or energy left to worry about conquering their earth bound neighbors. The rewards would be great. The have not nations might find their natural re sources infinitely increased by the exploita tion of new planets and new satelites. Life itself would take on a new vigor, a new meaning. There would be new frontiers. Why should we scrabble for a few miles of disputed earth when there is a universe to con(quer? Call the star-struck dreamers fools, idealists, and madmen. Call yourselves realists and practical men of the world, but your world is small and battle-weary; your horizons close you in like prison walls. There may be peace again when man can dream a new dream and reach up to touch a star. (The Daily Kansan, Lawrence, Kan.)

The world of children is full of expectation, dreams, Santa Claus, deer and little , people. So we are going to tell you a fairy story. Not the saga of Fanny Belle but a new one complete with dragons, pixies, beautiful women and pink elephants (you know, Beasts of Bourbon). Once upon a time in a far distant land there lived a dragon named Ash. Now this dragon was definitely not the "reluctant" dragon but most forward. In fact, ferocious and mmmmmmean and hungry. Since this land was popu lated largely by people they lived in large communal es tablishments with many houses and buildings which for some mystic reason were called towns. These strange folk spoke with a lisp because their muverland had been scared by an alcoholic. The dwagon ate people ... Now we shall turn the stowy over to a native named Thmith who will act as narrwator. Ladieth and gentle menth, lend me thine ear-th (Fwankly, it thpellth earth the other way-wanta get weighed). Well, any how they and he lisped and tho thince we can't thpell it, you will just have to fill in where we lisp. In this land there was a dragon, Ash, and he was most vicious and fierce and liked nothing better than to eat human, and otherwise, flesh. "Have you met Stomach, Lana Turner's sister"? The dragon was rapidly devouring a large percentage of the populance and soon the king of this country be came frightened and finally reached a momentous de cision. All over the countryside large posters were put up with the following message printed on them: "Any one who kills the dragon, thereby ending this reign of terror, can have half of my kingdom and a member of the Royal family for a bride." This was signed by the e King himself. News of this offer spread to the ends of the kingdom. In the extreme lower, lower part of the land lived a fairy prince named Joe, to be different, and upon learn ing of the king's proposition was elated. "Goody, goody, gumdrop, I'll find that mean old dragon and I'll slay it, and I'll be a great hero and Fii be rich and powerful and I'll be half a king." "'Twas willing and the slithy toves Did gyve and gimbel in the wave 9 All mimsy were the barogroves And the momes rath outgave." And so Joe set out in search of the monster. For months, the dragon eluded him but tite dragon was doomed for the Prince was determined. Sooner or later they would meet mug to mug. One day or night or sometime or other they did meet and was the Prince lucky. Ash, the dragon, had just consumed a number of college students and was stewed to the gills, natch. Joe bravely faced the drunken beast and with a thrust of his merciless sword, he slew the dragon. ( Fanfare--not related to Sally Rand). The triumphant Prince hastened toward the capital to notify the King of his conquest and to claim his prize. Great multitudes of rejoicing citizens acclaimed the conquering hero. They wined and dined him and carried him (since he had been wined too much) on their shoul ders to the palace. The glad news had spread over the land and the King planned a magnificent banquet and reception. After much celebrating and feasting the King held up his hand. Instantly there was silence. In a very solemn voice, the King said, "My dear Prince, you haave saved us all from the terrible menace of the dragon. I have not *' forgotten myopromise. You may have half of my King dom. nd no -~ .you must meet my family, my three beautiful daughters. They are lovely. Here comes my eldest daughter, Allura." tAt that moment in walked the most startlingly beau tflred-head you've ever seen. She was modeled along te Rita Hlayworth lines (or should we say curves). Then Entica, the second daughter, undulated in-a maid with jet black hair and well, Hedy had nothing on her. She was terrific and what a bbbbb-beauty.
