Meet Me in St Louis is a ce~.,,hration of almost everything, but mostly o1 ,r .. , 1th trembling on the brink of adult life. Who projects those feelings better than Judy Garland? Here she is, sporting a pompadour and gibson girl garb, bles~ed with a whacky family and the St Louis Exposition. ~-
Not so much nostalgia for a historical good old days, Meet Me in St Louis is more an attempt to capture the sights and sounds and fears of the world as they come rushing upon the young. Everything, including the staid set's fortunes and foibles, is viewed through the eyes of the younger members of the family, from the intense 7 year old, Margaret Sullivan, to a slightly arch older sister who is dipping into the duplicities of sex with an iron will.
Snowmen, spring, family dinners and parties, Halloween: Moods and memories are captured in the excitement of the moment and within the general context of all things passing away. People are growing up, boyfriends become husbands, today's fun becomes tomorrow's memory, seasons change, and the family and house once so warm and united are separate tomorrow. But, when you've lived in St Louis and seen the World's Fair how could you ever be disappointed by life? Vincente Minnelli will feast your eyes and ears in delirious visuals and songs, from "Zing Zing Went the Trolley" to Margaret Sullivan and Judy doing the cakewalk to "Under the Bamboo Tree". Enjoy.

The Editors The Collegian
..
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As an alumnus subscribing to your sometimes frivolous, usually ephemeral and occasionally trivial publication, I was surprised by the inclusion of Miss Brann's article and by the replies to it. After reading them, I became concerned as well.
I do not understand how the issue over a St John's Dogma ~roee. I thought there was and is a St John's Program--an orderly, coherent, and seQuential grappling with ideeu:>. The fact that they are found expressed in materials on which the copyright has' expired is a blessing.
The Program (defined as what goes on at St John's when the students and the tutors get together over a good book) is not Dogma. Arguing otherwise is like asserting that what the inhabitants of La.puta do with the gooey mass behind their stares is Inquiry. That Island housed Dogma (ignorance garnished with intellectual pretentiousness) and, as J remember, it floated around stomping all over people down below it.
Well, St John's didn't stomp all over me. It pricked, it prodded, it upset, it encouraged, and in the end it honoured me with a piece of paper too small to do a closet and a medieval hood whic·h I would look ridiculous in wearing to work.
Arguing in the dorms over the New Program constituted in my time--and is still now I suspect--a convenient conversation filler serving as a stalking horse until the subjects became subtler (read: "heavy"~. I suppose the argument should go on because, as with such fillers, it serves to set the stage. It is the small talk by meanscof which people feel each other out, test the ground, and establish the independence of each other's existence. But it is still "small" talk.
Education is a mutual act of faith-- on the part of the students that the te~her knows where they are going, on the part of the teacher that the student has the strength to follow, and of both of them that the terminus is worth reaching. In fact, the ideal education is the one laid out for a student who would have followed it by himself, if he had only been aware of it from the beginning.
Having been graduated, been sent out before mine enemies, I can now speak fro~ phronesis (much bandied about in your las issue), and say--the trip is worth it.
My one regret is that I spent any time at all pondering the mystical efficac~~usn~ of the grace of The New Pr0~~dm,
With Pascal, I s'l::;;;..)d :1ave trusted in its 1suffic ienr:y • an..i with Voltaire, ·tended my garccn more assiduously while I was there for, with Adam, I have been cast out and now, eating my bread in the sweat of my face, can only lament the follies of my fellow creatures who don't know a good thing when they have it.
Yours very truly, William Dunkum, 1 64

Sports Fans!! !
The big wind-up game to the Men's Sports season will be played this Tuesday at 4:15. It's the play-off game for the Softball Championship (and the mythical title of 'coordination' which it confers upon the winning side) between the year-winning Hustlers and the y&llow-togged Guardians. Funny Arthur will be there with his non-partisan play-by-play box-scoring, so come on down for an afternoon of excitement and laughs. --the Staff for B Jacobsen

Memorandwn to All Returning Students:
SUBJECT: Dormitory Room Drawings for 75-76
As you know, your $100 deposits were due o·n April 1st. This $100 deposit secures you a place in the class for next academic year. It does not have any direct relationship to your living on campus, or off campus, or room drawings for next year. We do, however, use that list of students who have paid their deposits as the list of students who are eligible to draw for a room next year. You also are well aware, I'm sure, that living off campus next year will be a little more difficult than this year, since the availability of off campus housing will certainly not be any greater, and rent and food costs are rising. Consequently, we urge you to be present at the room drawings if you have paid your deposit.
The tentative date for men's room drawings is Wednesday, Ma~in McDowell 24 at 3:30 pm. The tentative date for women's room drawings is Thursday, May 15 in McDowell 24 at 3:30. Rising Seniors, ii1 each case, will draw at 3 :30 to 4:00, rising Juniors at 4:00-4:30, rising Sophomores at 4:30-5:00. If you do not draw for a room at that time, we simply cannot guarantee that there will be anywhere for you to live next year. It is almost certain that, as last year, there will be a waiting list of students who have drawn rooms. Experience shows, however, that by the end of August rooms will have become available for those on the waiting list. We will again follow the procedure of assigning rooms from the waiting list strictly in the order in which your name appears. Although this means some hardships, it seems the fairest formula.
You are reminded that single students who wish to live off campus must request and obtain permission in writing to do · so from one of the Assistant Deans.
If you have any doubts about whether or not your deposit has been paid, please check with the Business Office.
RAW and BHL, · Assistant Deans

Dear Mr Dunham, Last Sunday, as you know, St John's was
the eubject of articles that appeared in the New York Times and the Washington Post. The article that appeared in the Times, entitled "Mixing Frogs with Aristotle" was well written, informative and .factual. The Post's "Civilization and St John's: College as Paradise" contained comments by a former student anci a member of the faculty that the Office of College Relations should have deleted from the manuscript before approving it for publication.
"As might be expected from the smallness of the school, what social life there is- including oddments like perioaic waltz parties- tends to be, says a former student 'very intensive among stu- · dents and very exclusive of people from the outside: girls who dated middies, for example, were looked upon as nerds and often ended up dropping out. The number and variety of your acquaintances is very limited and you know these people dreadfully well by your senior year. Sometimes you've been to bed with everyone in the senior class.'"
This is not an accurate account of life at St John's. This quote gives the impression that peer pressure is so great that students are forced to drop out because they have dated people who are not members of the college community. It also implies that the splendid intensity with which we purportedly study the Great Books characterizes our sexual behaviour as well.
A tutor is quoted .;i.S saying: "There are all these average students learning to think that they are smart. It is really ridiculous, I cannot conceive of what happens to them after they graduate."
I find this remark intolerably arrogant, insensitive and in contradiction with the goals of the school as they were envisioned by Buchanan and Barr. The Program was not designed primarily for the education of the intellectually gifted, but those of any ability. Nor do I see any correlation between a student's academic success and his ability to adjust to the 'real world', and it is inconceivable to me how a student can leave St John's thinking that he is 'smart'.
...
This article.leaves the reader with impressions about St John's which simply are not true. I hope that, in the future, the Office of College Relations will exercise more discretion in what it allows to be published. I reali~e that public relations is necessary to insure a flow of money and students to the College, but it seems that that need threatens-to compromise the values that St John's seeks to instill in its students and faculty.

On Thursday night, May 8, someone attempted to break into the college transformer room in FSK basement. We cannot impress upon the students enough, how dangerous this room can be. The transformer room houses the electrical system for the entire campus and only trained electricians are allowed to enter. So please stay away from that room!

Well, folks, and I use the terrri loosely, it seems that we have made it, temporarily at least. The' Real Olympics have come and gone, and so have we; some of us us have even come and gone, and are coming back again for more. As a matter of fact, it is for those of you in the latter situation that our selection is primarily offered. The poem is entitled "Adam", and it was suggested by Miss Kymberly Martin.
Adam
I have nibbled the mystical fruit. Cover me.
Lest the prophetic fish follow and swallow.
I dare not tread among the lilies Though lambswool cover my footfall, Though the adder call, the Word walk, In the orchard voices follow, hands
hallow me.
Thy will be done as it was in Eden. We were a long time- I am afraidNak.ed among silver fish and shadows, A long time and in silence naked. Only The fountains falling, the hornet's drum Calling, sunny and drunk with dew.
I am Adam, of singular manufacture, A little clay, water, and prophetic breath On the waters of chaos a lamp of red clay. The Word owns me. I have no armament Only my fear of the walking Thing.
The rib follows me everywhere: and everywhere
A shadow follows the rib. Eve, I am afraid. The Host walks and talks In the baobab shade: the unknowable Thing Is crossing the paths: the breath, woman, Is on us: a white light: 0 cover me From-the unthinkable razor of thought Whose whisper _hangs over me.
Eve 1 we are in this thing to the very end, You, your shadow, and shadowless Adam, I. 0- rib and morsel of anguish, bone of
contention, After the thing has shone and gone, After it enters the terrible wood, We will win through, perhaps: cover us
deep Beyond clue with the leaves of the wood: Be silent until it .passes: and kiss me,
kiss me. Ah! but the apple, the apple was good!

Readers of Gilbert Highet's The ClassiTradition may have been puzzled by an
cure, un-footnoted allusion on page 23 the section on Anglo-Saxon Poetry,
ecifically Beowulf). Highet writes: Apart from Grendel's terrific size, he not necessarily a mere fable. As late the seventeenth century there are rets from outlying parts of Europe of nibal families inhabiting caves not
like Brendel's. The most famous case is wney Bean, in southern Scotland.)" The ory of Sawney Bean is reported in Capt.
les Johnson's Lives of the Famous hwa en and Pir~(lS13), a book I
able to find only with the help of vin Stacey and the British Museum Cata
ue of Printed Books. The story is as lows: THE LIFE OF SAWNEY BEAN
The following narrative presents such a ·cture of human barbarity, that were it t attested by the most unquestionable storical evidence, it would be rejected altogether fabulous and incredible.
Sawney Bean was born in the county of st Lothian, about eight miles east of inburgh, in the reign of James VI. His ther was an hedger and ditcher, and ought up his son to the same laborious
loyment. Naturally idle and vicious, e abandoned that place, along with a oung woman equally idle and profligate,
d retired to the deserts of Gallaway, d took up their habitation by the sea
ide. The place which Sawney and his wife elected for their dwelling, was a cave f about a mile in length; and of considable breadth; so· near the sea, that the
ide often penetrated into the cave above ¥0 hundred yards. The entry had many inicate windings and turnings which led
o the extremity of the subterraneous welling, which was literally "the habi
tation of horrid cruelty." Sawney and his wife took shelter in
his cave, and commenced their depredaions. To prevent the possibility of deection, they murdered· every person that hey robbed. Destitute also of the means f obtaining any o_ther food, they reolved to live upon human flesh. Accordngly, when they had murdered any man, oman, or child, they carried them to eir den, quartered them, salted and ckled the members, and· dried them for
ood. In thls manner ~hey lived, carrying n their depredations and murder, until
n
they had eight sons and six daughters, eighteen grand-sons and fourteen granddaughters, all the off-spring of incest.
But, though they soon became numerous; yet, such was the multitude who fell into their hands, that they often had superabundance of provisions, and would, at a distance from their own habitation, throw legs and arms of dried human bodies into the sea by night. These were often thrown out by the tide, and taken up by the country people, to the great consternation and dismay of all the surrounding inhaLitants. Nor could any discover what had befallen the many friends, relations, and neighbours who had -,mfortunately fallen into the hands of these merciless cannibals.
In proportion as Sawney's family increased, every one that was able, acted his part in their horrid assassinations~ They would some times attack four or six men on foot, but never more than two upon horse-back. To prevent the possibility of escape, they would lay an ambush in every direction, that if they escaped who first attacked, they might be assailed with renewed fury by another party, and inevitably murdered. By this means, they always secured their prey, and prevented detection.
At last, however, the vast number who were slain, raised the inhabitants of the country, and all the woods and lurking places were carefully searched; and though they often passed by the mouth of the horrible den, it was never once suspected th.at any human being resided there. In this state of uncertainty and suspense, concerning the authors of such frequent massacres, several innocent travelers and innkeepers were taken up upon suspicion; because, the persons who were amissing, had been seen last in their company, or had last resided at their houses. The effect of this wellmeant and severe justice, canst.rained the greater part of the innkeepers in these parts, to abandon such employments, to the great inconvenience of those who travelled through that district.
Meanwhile, the country became depopulated, and the whole nation was surprisea, how such numerous and unheard of villanies and cruelties could be perpetrated, without the least discovery of the abominable actors. At length, Providence in-
12 terposed in the following manner to terminate the horrible scene: One evening, a man and his wife were riding home upon the same horse from a fair which had been in the neighbourhood; and being attacked, he. made the most v.igourous resistance; unfortunately, however, bis wife was dragged from behind him, carried a little distance, and her entrails instantly taken out. Struck with grief and horror, the husband continued to redouble his efforts to escape, and even trade some of them down under his horses feet. Fortunately for him, and for the inhabitants of that part of the country, in the mean time, twenty or thirty in a company came riding home from the same fair. Upon their approach, Sawney and his bloody crew fled into a thick wood, and hastened to their infernal den.
This man, who was the first that had ever escaped out of their hands, related to his neighbours what had happened, and shewed them the mangled body of his wife which lay at a distance, the blood~ thirsty wretches not having time to carry it along with them. They were all struck with astonishment and horror, took him with them to Glasgow, and reported the whcle adventure to the chief magistrate of the city. Upon this intelligence, lie wrote to the King, informing him of the matter.
In a few days, his Majesty in person, accompanied by four hundred men, went in quest of the perpetrators of such cruelties: The man who had his wife murdered before his eyes, went as their guide, with a great number of bloodhounds, that no possible means might be left unattempted to discover the haunt of these execrable villains.
They searched the woods, traversed, and examined the sea shore; but, though they passed by the entrance into their cave, they had no suspicion that any creature resided in that dark and dismal abode. Fortunately, however, some of the bloodhounds entered the cave, raised up an uncommon barking and noise, indicating that they were about to seize their prey. The king and his men returned, but scarcely could conceive how any human being could reside in a place of utter darkness, and where the entrance was difficult and narrow, but as the bloodhounds increased in their vociferation, and refusing to re. turn, it occurred to all that the cave ought to be explored to the extremity.
Accordingly a sufficient number of torches were provided. The hounds were permitted to pursue their course; a great number of men penetrated through all the intricacies of the path, and at length arrived at the private residence of these horrible cannibals.
They were followed by all the band, \"iho
were shocked to behold a sight unequalled in Scotland, if not in any part of the universe. Legs, arms, thighs, hands, and feet, of men, women, and children, were suspended in rows like dried beef. Some liwbs were soaked in pickle; while a great mas.s of money, both of gold and silver, watches, rings, pistols, cloths, both woollen and linen, with an innumerable quantity of other articles, were either thrown together in heaps, or suspended upon the sides of the cave.
The whole brutal family, to the number formerly'mentione~ were seized; the human flesh buried in the sand of the sea-shor~ the immense booty carried away, and the King marched to Edinburgh with the prisoners. T:iis new and wretched spectacle attracted the attention of the inhabitants, who flocked from all quarters to see this bloody and unnatural family as they passed along, which had increaced, in the space of twenty-five years, to the. number of twenty-seven men, and twentyone women. Arrived in the capital, they were all confined in the tolbooth under a strong guard; they were next day conducted to the common place of execution in Leith Walk, and executed withou.t any formal trial, it being deemed unnecesaary to try those who were avowed enemies of all mankind, and of all social order.
The enormity of their crimea dictated the severity of their death. The men had their privy-members thrown into the fire, their hands and legs were severed from their bodies, and they permitted to bleed to death. The wretched mother of the whole crew, the daughters and grand-children, after being spectators of the death of the men, were cast into three separate fires, and consumed to ashes. Nor did they, in general, display any signs of repentance or regret, but continued, with their last breath, to pour forth the most dreadful curses and imprecations upon all around, and upon all those who were instrumental in bringing them to such well merited punishments.

A human is a political animal. Poli tic al means "of the police. 11
A condition of being is a state. All humans are state police. State police enforce liquor laws. Liquor laws are different from county to county. Within a state counties are either wet or dry. Wet is positive, dry is negative. Total state = sum of states. Only like terms can be added. Positive can only be added to positive, negative to negative. There are only two true states, one wet, other dry. The wet corresponds to the drunken, the dry to the sober. You are either sober or not. It is not possible to partly sober.

MEMO 5/7/75
TO: The Delegate Council
FH.OM: Dan J errems
Ms. Watkins, Mr. Poissonier and I have reached an agreement and propose the following resolution to the D.C.:
be:
that RAM be given two thirds of the total weekends in the first semester of the '75-'76 school year, and CSIII the remaining third. Available Wednesday nights (that is, those not booked by Annapolis Opera,etc.) and· Friday nights will be resnrved for independant films. These dates will be decided in the following manner. As close to the first of ~~ch month an open meeting is to be held to decide rlntes for the following month. These meetings will be chaired by the RAl.; president. Priority will be given to first-time independant showings, then to second, third, etc. The remaining unclaimed dates will go first to C.JIII and then to RAM.
The order of business on this matter this Tuesday should
1, I withdraw my moti6n (to revoke the charters and set up film board).
2. We repeal the existing Act of Council establishine; the Film Board.
J. We pass this resolution,
If you have questions about this, please see me before Tuesday, I'm hoping we can rubber ~tamp this solution so that we can turn to the most impoi·tant issue of this, our last meeting, --approving next year's budget,
I've asked Ms. Watkins to submit a charter before next meeting, I've also asked for the budget requests for the first semest~r from both groups.
Mr. Elliott and I are drawing up the proposed budget--a copy of which you should receive before next meeting.
