Such a limitation of in formation may present a dilemma to some, but the problem at this University is that many of the students do not use the sources of information which are avail able. If it is correct to say that students seldom read books, then it is only slightly less than a truism to say that they hardly ever read magazines of a serious nature. We will not deny the place of McCall's, Life, News week, or even Playboy in the mainstream of American periodi cals. I NSTEAD) of concentrating sole ly on the trivia, the student would do well to use sonme of his college years to explore the "magazines of opinion" as they are usually called. These pe riodicals, some slick, some of the pulp variety, contain ideas and opinions which are much more potent andl stimulating than any that will ever lie found in the Reader's Digest. In a series of three articles we hope to arouse some interest in the publications of opinions on the Right, Center, and Left. B EGINNING on the Right, we find that the Ainerican Opin ion rules the extremity of that end of the political spectrum. Published by Robert Welch, the founder of the John Birch So ciety, this monthly periodical regularly attacks the State De partment, the Establishnient, and any person or organization tinged with liberalism. On the cover of recent issues Amnerican Opin ion has featured Edward R. Mur' row, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Such cover p)ortraits are, how ever, mere war nings of what the -Letters to Editor s; Our i surely express his concern in the temporal aspects of his grad uation, rather than the spatial ci rcumstances of the thousandl neademically above him. Those who moan over what they call a lack of dliplomacy on the part of the administration have blindlly erred in kind. Sure ly one should not stoop to malevolence over the triviality of dress and location at graduation. To complain of lack of commun ication is likewise a shallow plat form. College studlents should b)e too intelligent to be dominated by their own habits, rumors, prejudlices, and other irrational characteristics.

Originally established in 1924 with H. L. Mencken as the editor, the mag azine now bears no resemblance to the Mercury of the Meneken era (1924-1933).
