"One of the chief dissatisfac tions," says Bailes, "has beei that some of the magazine ii 'way out.' Since this is a maga zine for experimental litera ture, we will continue to be i showcase for good fiction an< poetry. We will not "write down" ti an audience. We will attemp to balance the magazine wit] humor, features, some satir and original cartoons." The objective of the nev * changes involves familiarizini the student body with what th Crucible is - attempting t put out a magazine with hu morous features as well a stimulating stories and article and finally the immediate ani personal acknowledgment o contributions. Contributions Considered Bailes goes on to say, "W Course X Policies E: Dean of Men Gives Rules With USC students enterin their fourth week of school, ther are several items in The Carolin Community that need to be em phasized, according to Dean I Eugene Cooper, dean of men. Primary in importance is the if a student wishes to withdrai from a course in which he is er rolled that he do so before Octobe 12. Withdrawing from a course dui ing the first four weeks (Octobe 12 is the deadline for this semef ter) means that a grade of "W will be recorded. After the deac line, a withdrawal will result i a grade of "WF" which is treate as a final grade of "F" in con puting grade-point averages. To withdraw from a course, student must obtain a Change c Schedule card from the Office c Admissions and Registration, an Sfollow the procedure Indicated o the card.

These editors are: Nancye i Mace, poetry; Warren John. - son, graphics; and Evelyn God shall, copy editor. "I am very k pleased with the enthusiasm so I far," said Bailes. Deadline Announced October 24th has been an t nounced as deadline for manu scripts and copy for considera tion for publication in the first issue, to be distributed on cam i pus by November 7. This an nouncement was made at the second meeting of the year to y a group of some 20 prospective - staff members. s "If any student has a criti s cism, comment, or contribu I tion," Bailes says, "I urge him f to write to us at Box 270A, or come by our meetings, held each Tuesday in Room 209 of a the Russell House." ithdrawal mphasized both excused and unexcused - for no credit is allowed for a course in which a student fails to attend 25% of the scheduled class meet eings regardless of cause of ab sences.

The an nual lecture program, to which the general public as well as mem bers of the University community - are invited to attend, has become an important part of the intellec tual and cultural life of Columbia. Over the past several years the Department of International Stud ies has brought outstanding schol ars, statesmen and authors to the community to share their ideas and experiences. The 1963-1964 series, "Dimen sions of the Cold War," empha sizes the complex nature of the struggle between the Communist World and the Free World led by the United States and its associ r ated Western democracies. Strategies Discussed y Among the dimensions to be discussed are the philosophical, cultural, legal and political as- I pects of the struggle and ways in t which such concepts are exploited I in the foreign policies and strate gies of Communist states. Current manifestations of Communist 4 strategy and tactics will also be t discussed as they apply to specific areas in the Western Hemisphere. Lectures, Courses Linked The guest lecture series of the Department is linked to an in- e troductory full-year course de signed for all students, no matter what their major field of concen tration at the University. This t course, "The United States and World Problems," aims at making an awareness of global political problems and the forces creating them part of the general educa tion of our future leaders. Introduced into the curriculum of the University when Governor Donald S. Russell was President of the University, its basic prem ise is that our national security and the fate of our civilizatior requires responsible citizens who .1 are aware of the great issues at stake in a rapidly changing world.

The 14 groups will review and comment on pro grams outlined at earlier sessions of the conference. abus der Fire; ends Book 3 MYERS Dr e Gamecock" ith The Gamecock this week, t of the American Bar As ial publication compiled by rly done, inaccurate piece of Lke." Speaking to The Gamecock from Delano, Calif., Wright said he was 'disgusted" with the publication, k syllabus to aid high school eachers in instructing t h e i r lasses on communism, and again alled the guide "a preachment of Fabian Socialism," as he did this summer before the House of Delegates of the American Bar Associtaion. He stated the guide was "based upon a faulty prem se - the premise that socialism was the enemy of communism," snd charged that the publication "was full of errors and advocated the miserable co-existence philoso phy. . Under Revision The controversial paperback, )emocracy and Communism in World Affairs, was published last May in an advanced provisional edition for evaluation and com ment. It is presently under revi sion and is expected to be pub lished in a regular edition soon. The syllabus is under the sponsor ship of the American Bar Associa tion's standing committee on ed ucation against communism. It was prepared by four Carolina professors: Maxwell Flapan, Pau W. Blackstock, J. George Long worth, and James H. Wolfe, under the supervision of Dr. Richard L Walker, head of the USC Institutt of International Studies. Spokesmen for the ABA said the guidebook seeks to answei three needs: (1) Alerting the na tion to the threat of the interna tional communist movement, (2' Preparing teachers to give re sponsible answers to questions be ing posed by high school students. and (3) Heading off irresponsible anti-communist indoctrination. The 260-page document will be distributed nation-wide to educa tors, school officials and members of the public who are concerned with the acute lack of knowledge about the threat and growth of Marxism-Lenninism. Selection One of the reasons Carolina's Institute of International Studies was selected to prepare the train ing guide was because it had con ducted a teacher training program on the subject, and it was consid ered by the American Bar As sociation and a number of na tional educational groups to be one of the most successful teacher training programs in the field. This week the syllabus was criticized by a member of the University Board of Trustees, Hugh 0. Hanna, who called the m a n u a I "damanable." Hanna's main complaint was, "it doesn't explain enough about commun ism." He said he will bring the matter b c f o r e the University Board of Trustees meeting sched uled October 12, because, "I just want to protect the University." Rutledge L. Osborne, USC Board chairman, in a statement this week to the press, said Dr. Walker, who directed the prepara tion of the syllabus, "is a very outstanding man and we are fortu nate to have a man of his caliber connected with the University." "What We Want" Admiral William C. Mott, a member of the ABA's standing committee on education against communism, who is scheduled to address students of the Institute of International Studies on cam pus in the near future, said in Washington he had the utmost confidence in Dr. Walker. "He will come out with the product we want him to," stated Mdott. Walter E. Craig, president of (Contianed em page 5)
