made 20 million dollars before
its arrival in America. It is a
panoramic study of modern-day
society in Italy. It shows Rome
as dazzling with light and jumpy
with jazz, constantly on the go,
and forever bored. It shows Ro
mans drowning themselves in
imported Scotch and flailing
wretchedly in a morass of self
content. It is so filled with sex,
we are told, that it is sicken
ing. Yet pictures of this type
are now being welcomed to the
United States, and millions of
our teen-agers will go to see
them and absorb them.
These pictures could not have
been shown on our screens even
ten years ago. We are in the
midst of a moral revolution
that is going to destroy Amer
ica long before Communist rock
ets, unless there is a complete
reversal of the trend. This mor
al revolution that has been tak
ing place in the last ten years
is changing the lives of men
and women more radically than
any other revolution in Ameri
can history. This moral degen
eration drastically affects the
life of every American, deeply
disturbs the community, and de
cisively influences the future of
society. Immorality and impur
ity have penetrated almost every
area of Western culture.

Indian Club
drive to start
on July 1st
Officers and directors of the
Newberry College Indian Club
with the aid of the College Ath
letic Department have complet
ed plans for the annual mem
bership drive beginning July 1.
Nineteen teams have been set
up to cover Newberry proper,
Chapin, Pomaria, Prosper
ity, Saluda and Silverstreet. A
like plan was used last year
with great success. The plan has'
been enlarged this year and it
is hoped that all Indian Club
members assigned to teams will
work enthusiastically with the
respective team captains t o
make this drive the best ever,
involving about 75 members.
All participants will be the
guests of the Indian Club at a
kickoff steak supper Monday
night, June 23 at the Lions Club
House on Lake Murray at 8:00
p.m. At this meeting the teams
will be given instructions and
all necessary materials to push
the drive.
Secretary Harry Hedgepath
urges members not assigned to
the initial set-up, who can give
some time to the drive, please
contact him. He stated that
some workers may go on vaca-
