"The Scholastic The Notre Dame GommtMiafu^ '^ 1 > THE SUBLIME SUBLIMATED: The editors of the SCHOLASTIC regret veiy much Vol. 101 No. 16 that the insert entitled "Casual Reading for Fun and Profit" did not appear in last week's issue as announced in "Commentary." The Ave Mai-ia Press, printers of the FEBRUARY 26, 1960 magazine, were instructed to include the alumni-sponsoi'ed contribution, but due to [ an unfortunate mistake failed to do so. This week our fingers are crossed that the article will appear, and our hope is that the delay will not decrease from its interest to our readers. Founded 1867 editor-in-chief ON THE VICE PRESIDENT: For those of us who had an opportunity to speak RONALD BLU8AUGH with Ml'. Nixon when he was hei"e on campus recently, it was, indeed, a pei-plexing ex perience. How do you judge such a man? A politician to the core, his words and associate editors actions were polished and perfected, well-chosen and effective. He presented the ap E. (TED) THOMPSON pearance of a forceful man and put foi-ward the political essentials of a firm hand CHARLES TAUSCHE shake Av-ith a confident grip. And yet it is so difficult to really see into the man. Be tween this stem figure and the reporter at his side, something of a barrier exists. news editor and stafF He knows so well what to say and he says it with such perfection that it doesn't reaUy ROY RUBELI seem to mean anything. Yet, although his words cany little, there is still something >~> Wade Clarke behind him that strikes home. His casual humor would make him "just one of the fellows" but his dignity cuts him off from the rest and it is not what he says but how Arthur Graham he says it that makes the impression. He is at the same time the man who lives next Thomas Weiss door and your boss. He is friendly but stem, warm yet resei-ved. He is what the American press and mass communications have made him: a leader with ideas and features editor and staff convictions who must be reserved in their presentation lest he give offense. Some CHARLES RIECK f obsei-vers of the political scene have said that todajr's President must be a personality Francis Smith first and a leader second. Possibly this is a valid analysis, for a casual meeting with Thomas Sullivan the Vice President would surely indicate that it is so. Recalling Walter Trohan's r William Sweeney article in an earlier SCHOLASTIC, we have cei-tainly had it brought home to us how William Veeder - very difficult it will be for the voters to make an intelligent choice in 1960. It is hard to vote for the real man v/hen it is impossible to even know him. And if the voter sports editor and staff mai'ks his ballot according to the personality a name conjures up, we wonder which THQMASROSE personality he is voting for.
