An obscene
The Orchard Ridge Recorder
Recently, we published a letter
to the editor complaining about our
use of language in an editorial
cartoon. That writer accused us of
abusing our education by using the
language of gutter level. I would
like to point out that with problems
of racial and sexual prejudice,
wars of colonization, poverty,
threats of nuclear annihilation,
over-popullating, and environmenit
pollution, wrought upon us by
previous generations of non
obscenity type Christians it seems
ridiculous to object to our use of
words that seem obscene to other
generations. Words, printed
sysbols, are only gutter level when
suppressed to gutter level.

"AThiga oeul risfoghts and all

separate but equal rights."
It was therefore somewhat
surprising to see Colonel Stonewall
leading the NAACP Glee & Sit-in
Club at a demonstration in front of
the White Plains, S.D., School
Board.
"I've seen the light, son," he
explained happily. "It took a Civil
War and a hundred years of
bickering. But at last the whole
danged country's united in favor of
school integration."
"Yes, sir," he said, removing his
Panama to fan his brow, "the
North's for it down South and the
South's for it upaNorth."
The Colonel sighed. "Now, I'll
admit us Southerners was a little

"As for me, I'm working on a
modest little project to make de
facto segregation illegal nation
wide."
"Think of those poor little white
Vermont tads, deprived of their
fair share of Nigras. I say, son, I'll
never rest until every classroom in
the country's got 25 per cent
Nigras.
"Course, it's going to take a little
busing. But I figure you can bus
kids between Montpelier, Vt., and
Biloxi, Miss., in only three days.
Each way. And it's going to cost
maybe $243.6 billion to achieve de
facto integration nationwide.
"But fair's fair. We only want to
do what's right by our fellow
Americans. Like we say down
South these days, son," said the
Colonel with a jovial grin, "you
Yankees got it coming to you."
The Colonel ambled off to lead a
chant---"Two, four, six, eight; we
sure want to integrate! "-as the
respectable Northern citizens
watching from- the curb mutt6red
thingsike'We ought to,runthese
outside agitators out of town on a
rail."
But the Colonel's got a point. We
Northerners should integrate our
schools, too. What's good enough
for these low-down, no-account
Southern bigots is good enough for
us. Just about equally.

Infirmaj
Der Mr.' Wannamaker:
The infirmary is a joke! I know
of two cases on my hall that could
have been treated better by a 2
year old. The first young man
entered the infirmary with a very
badly swollen ankle. Almost
unable to walk, he at least hoped
for a set of crutches to aid him. lie
was informed that he was doing the
right thing with his treatment of
soaking his foot and wrapping a
bandage around it. Cost $5, and not
even a set of crutches. He returned
the next day and rented crutches!
A second "customer" entered
the infirmary with a raw big toe,
torn while playing basketball.
After taking one half-hearted
glance at the wound, he was in
formed that it appeared he was
treating it correctly, and just to
continue treatment. No new
medication or service rendered
while he was in the infirmary
whatsoever.
Above all this, there seens to be a
general apathy among the per
sonnel. Some of the doctors and
assistants are even amused when
confronted with a student injured,
minor as they may seem. I think
this farce has gone its way too
long. This is supposedly a major
university "in the mainstream of
today," but the infirmary remains
in the Dark Ages.

1eu.r M'7 W nn.imake:
I can't help but tell you how
amusing I found the letter from
Mr. Jacob R. Koehler in the Feb.
23d issue of your paper. Since he is
listed -in the Directory as a jour
nalism major, perhaps you should
consider inviting him to join your
staff with a regular colunn of such
humor.
I dare say that Mr. Koehler could
use the lessons taught in Phil. 101
Logic, since his letter provides an
outstanding example of the artful
fallacy of self<ontradiction. Mr.
Koehler's main point, if I un
derstand him correctly, is that the
article by Jerry Farber should be
condemned as a piece of "yellow
journalism," i.e., "not a
questioning, cutting analysis" but
"a morbid, one-sided pounding and
slashing."
His own letter, which, despite its
brevity, is rife with words and
phrases such as "unbombastic,"
"fruits and nuts," "mis-fits,"
"malcontents," "some less clean
part of his anatomy," "childish,"
"extremely stupid," "diatribe,"
etc., etc. On the other hand, I find
no evidence of a "questioning,
cutting analysis."
Clearly, not all the writers of
"4yellow literature" have found
what is, in Mr. Koehler's best
judgement, their proper academic
