One day it's sunny; the next day
it's cold. That's March for you.
The old adage that March
"comes in like a lion and out like
a lamb" seems to be a little off
base this year. With summer-like
days the month minced in shed
ding warmth and sunshine and
premature ap r i n g fever. The
empty libraries attest to that.
It's a little frightening to know
that March is really here. You
can't relax and ship your wool

JOHN ADAMS AND THE PROPH

Grosset & Dunlap's Universal Li

On February 23, 1964, Grosset
& Dunlap published the paper
back edition of ZoltAn Haraszti's
John Adams and the Prophets of
Progress - considered by many
historians, scholars and critics to
be "the best single work that has
yet been written about Adams."
John Adams and the Prophets i
of Progress presents some of the I
most valuable material brought to
light in the past 60 years about
the man and his thought. As he
read the "great books" of the 18th i
century - the works of Boling- I

A novice often has journalistic

stands to benefit most from tho
discipline and experience offered
by the college paper.
The beginner even may have an
advantage over the student who
