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.

copy editor and staff •• :i WALTER RUDGE RESIDENCE WITH FRESHMEN: Under current discussion among some of the George Casey student government leaders and the Blue Circle is a plan which would put about 40 Peter Geniesse seniors in the freshmen halls. These seniors would act as student advisors and coun selors and help the younger students over their roughest year. Such a plan already Thomas Marciniak exists in a number of universities, both state and private. Partial scholarships are art editor granted for the sei^vice and so there is a remuneration for all that is given up. From JERRY FLORENT the outside, however, we tend to be a little skeptical of the idea since at Notre Dame there are already prefects living on the floors.

8:04 PM There's a lamp that'll get knocked over later if you don't move it. Take care of this and then take care, since talk can flag during a party's early moments, to have a covering background of harmonious music. The recording to the left, with the Four Fresh men and a 10-trombone brass orchestra blending furiously, is har monious and then some. The group just won an award in the Playboy All-Star Poll and the album includes ice-breakers like Route 66, Sunday, Candy and Laura; the picture on the back, though, could raise one slightly unsettling question: These guys are freshmen?
8:41 PM The laments in Kay Starr's new release aren't dangerously lugubrious and, actually, should stimulate casual entrances onto the dance floor. That's due to Kay's ardent, ringing style and the lush string background which is under only mild sedation behind her. Anybody downcast after hearing Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall, I Should Care, Please Don't Talk About Me When Fm Gone or the others isn't in a mood to enjoy or contribute much to things anyway, and might appreciate a thoughtful suggestion that there's probably still time to make it to the library before it closes.
9:22 PM If the party's billed as a "Dance," this is as good a time as any to find out how seriously it is meant. Put on the new Kenton, album; it's in the lit-up Latin tradition of Peanut Vendor. Some numbers, like Adios, are fairly relaxed, but most—e.g., a sizzling new Artistry in Rhythm—test dancing prowess. It should separate the men from the boys. (If it separates the men from the girls, try the music in Capitol's "Arthur Murray" series. Sets of sambas, fox trots, etc. with top bands and good for pleasant, low-pressure dancing. Little pictures show where to put your feet.)
10:07 PM While the blood is up, put on Ray Anthony's latest, "Like Wild!" The title means much the same as "It's the cat's pajamas" but says it faster, in keeping with today's modern, high speed living. Both expressions bo:ome clear when the record is played, for it's a fine, swinging, powerhouse of brass effects, some delectable, some almost alarming. Anthony plays new stuff and ones like Peter Gunn Theme, Room43, 707and Walkin" to Mothers that he's already made a lot of money on as singles. An intermission will be needed. Who won the basketball game?
10:49 PM What, aside from having all been great instrumental, do Snowfall, In the Mood, Poor People of Paris and Flyin" Home have in common? Practically nothing. What, do you suppose, does this mean to Billy May? Practically nothing. He has outrageously spiced up the originals with flutes and things and somehow turned them all, plus others, into some very cheery cha-chas. Twelfth Street Rag-Cha-Cha, though, is unforgivable. Laugh, cry, spill something —you'll just have to do the best you can.
11:28 PM The Quiet Time is at hand. "Ballads for Night People" are the songs June gets asked for most by nostalgic nightcrawlers. in pubs. Mostly sentimental tunes with the kind of introspective lyrics she sings best. While Christy li^ts her way in the dark with Bewitched, Don't Get Around Much Any More, My.Ship and others in that price range, some couples may wish to sit this one out, wending to the dimmer comers to speak softly of issues like the November elections, lung cancer, and so forth. The record changer can be set to repeat and that, perhaps, will take care of that. 10 The Scholastic Repercussions THE OTHER SIDE Editor: (Continued from page 4) The glowing description of the "Case one thing, however, segregating us in for the Democrats" that appeared in the the commencement exei'cise by establish February 19 issue left me with one un ing four different distribution centers answered question.

Following last week's article on the inadequacy of Republican leader ship, Terry Lamb, president of the Young Republicans, boldly answers back with an exhaustive presentation of this country's traditional con servative principles, carried since the Civil War up to the present, by the Republican Party.
A CONSERVATIVE CREED
HE choice facing America today is between the Con medical insurance programs under the Federal Social Security Tservatism of the Republican Party and the Liberalism that system. It provides for matching federal grants for the build controls the Democratic Party. The present-day Republican ing of public schools "when need is demonstrated and local party was founded in 1854 to curb the expression of slavei-y resources are clearly inadequate."

(This may sound like little more than a truism form: "Believing that the spirit of our institutions as well as but it demonstrated a Republican administration's willingness the constitution of our country guarantees liberty of con to g^uide rather than govern the economy of the state.) Foreign science and equality of rights among our citizens we oppose all economic aid should be shifted whenever possible from govern legislation tending to impair them." This was reaffirmed in ment gi-ants to private loans. Here is true "dignity of the the Republican platform of 1936 and is still the dominant individual" which the liberals claim to champion. These spirit within the Republican party. principles reaffirm confidence in human nature to cope with What is the basis of American conservatism?

I when the common good demands. Either the state exists for the individual or the individual exists for the state. The establishment of order leaves no other alternative. Until the New Deal both American political parties were conservative in theory and in practice. The 1932 Democratic platform vied with the Republican platform in presenting a conservative solution to the economic depression, for it advo cated immediate and drastic reduction of govei-nmental expen ditures "to accomplish a savings of not less than 25 per cent in cost of Federal Government." If you dismiss this platform which F.D.R. endorsed in 1932 on the grounds that New Deal expediency solved the un employment problem, I should remind you that in 1938 almost ten million capable workers were jobless. This number is two- thirds as gi-eat as in 1932 under Pi-esident Hoovei-. True, we suffered another depression in 1937. All the more reason to argue that the New Deal was a False Deal. If a government centered economy was the cure-all — why another depression? U^ All Democrats did not follow the utilitarian concept which guided the Roosevelt Administration. As early as 1936 Al Smith asserted the fundamental role of government was to aid the governed in raising the genei-al level of human dignity throughout the world. Basically, human nature was responsi ble for World War I which in turn created the economic miseiy of the great Depression. Governor Smith wisely recognized that tme reform can no more be legislated by the state than can true economic prosperity. Economic and moral reform must voluntarily be gin from within the individual. The "Radical Republicans" overlooked this necessity in their "libei-al" legislation during the Reconstruction and Prohibition eras. Which political party is conservative in theory and practice today? The Republican party is still guided by the spirit deny the theory that if "progress" is to be achieved, this and principles of its first platform. The party's stand on is inevitable or if victory is to be won at the polls we must major issues has recently been outlined in a "preliminary submit to this fate.

Does February 26, 1960 13 Mr. Nixon consider himself a conservative? He indorsed the formance. At one extreme, it is said, is the thesis that the "preliminary platform" mentioned above as follows: "The U.S.S.R is irrevocably embarked on a career of unlimited report brings home the fact that we are conservative because conquest. At the other is the thesis of the American Com we Avant progress." Can conservative principles win at the munists that the U.S.S.R. is virtuously and selflessly engaged polls?

He attributes his victory to talking A\i-itten in 1950. openly in favor of conservatism and what it means to the indi Regarding "economic security for all people," the A.D.A. vidual.

The exams which had been such a painful reality a short time earliei", faded to dim and even forgotten memories as the buses barreled toward a vacation which would be remembered Unfortunately Newton said nothing about going up as one of the most enjoyable vacations of college. The bus trip couldn't exactly be billed as the "joy ride of the century" but then, even the bitter things of life have their better sides. Take the "rest" stops for instance. After a few hours in our chariot the happy character at the wheel got on the P.A. and announced with a practiced flourish that we would soon enjoy a "rest stop and that doesn't mean a refreshment stop." "You kiddin' me, these lips be pai-ched!" Well anyway—as we stoiined the "Inn" we were re minded of a genei-al store in a secluded country town. (When we left we were all too convinced that it was.)

And then the bus rolled on— Plainwell, Grand Eapids, Big Kapids, . . • Even though two of our didvers started a cross country run before we reached the slopes (that dividing island you tried to cross must have been an advanced run, eh Clem?) we finally reached the motels. ^\, The Ski Club officers were sleepily waiting there with accommodations which varied from princely suites to very humble pads. For a few, however, the trip wasn't quite over. Some of us had lost our assigned rooms to the troops who had 16 The Scholastic "Well, err— I really only wanted a sandwich." As I was saying, a real swingin' town. We went to bed Thursday night with the unhappy prospect of rolling out to the buses by 6:45 A.M. Well maybe 7:15 would have been a better time to begin with anyway. After a breakfast which all enjoyed and a few never saw, we piled on the buses once more and slept our way out to the slopes. Since the majority of us had never been skiing before it was really surprising to see the "pros" ski out of the rental shop. But then we all can't be "pros" and someone had to start the ball rolling. Your author managed beautiful ly by being the first one to fall — Ah, happy humiliation!

And I wanted to sleep in, too. Oh well, and the final mastering of the snow which is so beautiful and wake me up when we get there." yet so terribly challenging. Besides the experience of skiing itself the trip provided And then the snow was brushed away us with an oppoi-tunity which the majority of Noti*e Dame students sorely need. I refer to the hackneyed subject of Notre Dame-St. Mary's relations. Those who were at Cab- rafae were able to see S.M.C. in an entirely new light. When the young ladies from across the Dixie are away from the strait-laced and war'ped social environment which pervades student life here they break down the very elaborate stereo type which many of us have unfortunately formed concei-ning them. In many respects the trip was very similar to life at N.D. We ran for buses (not the Dixie Shuttle, but close), waited in line for the ski tows and waited again for dinner. But then, if we flip the coin over there are some aspects in which the trip greatly differed from campus life. Why I might even say that many of us managed to confirm our suspicions that we aren't really so veiy immature or irresponsible after all. And so the trip continued as we tried to milk the last drops of pleasure from it. "The buses for the Notre Dame group will leave in half an hour — at 4 P.M. Please turn in all your equipment at the rental shop." "What! Oh well . . ." "It's hard to believe that it's over so soon."

Now, they are showing another BB picture called The Girl in the Bikini, which goes to show how much is on that girl's mind. It's logical co-hit is a UPSTAIRS molasses-thick melodrama starring Gina Lollobrigida. In the movie, she plays two Phone CE 3-6318 roles: a luxury-loving Paiisienne and an Algerian girl. Which seems a solution to De Gaulle's problem. All this, and nothing more, at the Avon this week. Kay Kendall's sudden death at 33, of leukemia, depiived us not of a star-for-a-day, but of an actress whose talent would have kept us laughing for many years to come. Her last movie. Once More, With Feeling (Colfax: Feb. 25-March 2), in Avhich she starred with Yul Brynner and Gregoi-y RatofF, shows her worn out by her illness but still full of the same joy of living. The story concerns a symphony conductor (Yul) and his long-time mistress (Kay), and their tempestuous love. She wants to leave him to many a respectable and quiet man and, to preserve appearances, she marries Yul while arranging the divorce proceedings at the same time. Her deter mination wanes when confronted by his chai-m and evei-ything turns out fine for both. Gregory Ratoif plays an almost apoplectic agent who tries to keep peace between Yul and Kay. This is definitely desei-ving of the Movie of the Week Award, not because of Kay's death, but as a tribute to both her and Brynner's talent. The Bible states it vei-y simply, in three or four short refei-ences. The Queen of Sheba came to visit Solomon, they fell in love, Solomon took part in her pagan rites .< and thus offended God, and she finally left. Out of this short account, Hollywood cooked up 139 minutes of full-screen, full-color, bigger-than-life perdition. The title sticks to the basic stoiy pretty much: Solomon and Sheba (Granada: Feb. 25- March 9). But from there on the screenwriters have taken as much leeway as they were allowed, and then some. There's no use in outlining the story, because it would still be confusing. Detail is the big thing here, and so many are added that the transformation of the story, from Bible to screen, is more radical and stupefying^ than Gigi's growing up. In general, the moviegoers may feel that they are being led into an enormous showroom where propmen have collected the most lavish and costly pieces of set decorations from all of DeMille's movies. They may also feel that the story has been excessively drawn out. But then, what can you do with about 200 woi-ds of original script? Held over for a third week, Toby Tyler is still at the State. The end of the engagement is not yet in sight, and the manager's prophecy of the length of the run (six or seven weeks) is being verified slowly but surely. Disney has done it again. Even though only one movie this week is really worth your money seeing, some good things are coming up.
