BARNCORD student body expressed its considered desires was frequently appalling. It is a tradition at Kenyon that individual groups should possess intense special interests. SHOE REPAIRING Such intensity of special interest has invariably made the year's first student assembly emotional and violent. And today in the midst of this emotional M. 37 Public Sq. Mt. Vernon violence, there appeared on the floor of the assembly one Eugene Pugatch. Mr. Pugatch was representing a student group which is interested in finding some means of action with regard to recent rules established by the administration. Hamilton Elgin Evidently lost, as were many of us, in the welter of emotional confusion result- ing from the dazzlingly rapid and efficient railroading of skeptical groups over RICHARD DAY the interests of the students who represented the previously noted issue, Mr. Pugatch rose and requested permission to speak. It so happened that he was 9 W. VINE ST. "out of order." Art Carved Diamonds Presumably, among a group of civilized young men who are allegedly at- tempting to understand the important issues of the century, a citizen's being "out of order" in a public assembly requires that he be informed so, by the officer in charge of the meeting, with courtesy, reason, and humane tolerance. It is of immediate importance to every single student at Kenyon, whatever his private interests may be, that he realize, and reflect, how grossly Mr. Eugene M. Pugatch was denied the courtesy which any man has a bitter right to demand from his civilized fellows. I am not especially complaining that various groups, both organized and disorganized, shouted at Mr. Pugatch from their seats. Though such practices are shocking to idealists, we have learned in America that we must appeal to Compliments of an assembled group's reason as well as to its 'idealism', if the rights of the ALLEN JEWELERS individual citizen are to be maintained. There is nothing particularly original, I say, about a group's sneering at a single man who happens to disagree with their R., J ).,!. A- -,k C..S.KI, special interests. When such puerile (and yet bestial and very effective) sneering 7 EAST CAMBIER begins, we look to the president of the assembly in question, and expect that he use his delegated authority to quell the shockingly unfair emotional exploitations of the sneerers.

On his returning to his seat, he was greeted with what was perhaps the most insidious and immoral concatenation of whining, moblike cries and shrieks of Yahoo-lik- e laughter which I have ever been unfortunate enough to hear, to Work Refreshed 1 my extreme disgust. If Kenyon wishes effectively to deal with its minority groups, it must learn that any man is not the less human and valuable for being isolated and not in command of numerical power. The brutal repressions of a minority by a hysterical and irrational majority is a situation which we have heard of before. I, for one, can remember with vividness how some of my very close friends were kicked around in Munich, , in the mid-thirtie- s; and I prefer not to have the same kind of railroading going on in the society in which I study and make my living, and in which I have been taught from childhood that a single man has as much right to courteous respect as do a mob, who alone are but simpering subordinates to some mama-lik- e authority, terrified of the vital and glorious ex- change of free ideas to which we are devoting the main energies of our dear humane lives in school; and for which we may well be asked again to take up arms. continued on page 8

The Lords were never behind in the contest and led from midway in the first quarter when Ron Fraley skirted left end for twenty yards and the initial score of the game. After an exchange of fumbles at the outset, Kenyon started its touchdown drive on its own 40 yard line. With Fraley, Mike Hayden, and Don Murphy carrying the ball through the center and around the ends, the Lords moved to the Otterbein 20 yard line and a first down. On the third play of the series Fraley went around his own left end behind good blocking; crossed the goal line standing up. Gene Mio converted for the point. In the second period Hayden reeled off a 22 yard run to put the Purple and White in scoring position again.
