These people, two radicals, a cons rvativ , a mystic, and a transatlantic were guaranteed enough freedom and mon y to exp riment with a Really Big Issue. And, eyes alight with childish wonder and dollar signs, they began to do just that. The radicals proposed lead articles on the values of free love, and marijuana. Th cons rvatives countered with an issue devoted to the Republican Party, birth control, and a campaign to populariz snuff. And the transatlantic suggested tea breaks and Teddy girls. All, however, seemed to agree on a chang. So they began a campaign. The result - for the first time in sev ral y aI'S the Lantern was not forced to take everything in order to fill space. The selections in this magazine are one-third of all that was submitted. A contest was l'un (the editol's running wild with a total of sixt -fi e dollars in prizes) . The entries wel'e anonymous and the lection of ,inners wa as follows : Best Art Work-Jay Bosniak and Gloria amp zzi. Best E ssays on the Contest Topic of Organiz d Religion-Betty Reale and J im Ryan. Best Poetic Contributions-P te Vennema and Phil Ro\ Best Entry in Fiction Contest-Joel Roberts. Mr. Rudnut selected the powerful autobiographic essay Panic On the Mountain Peak, by P hyllis Furst as the "Best of Everything." So here it is. This is the new Lantern. Read it and decide for yourself whether the adjective new is justifi ed. I only remains to thank all those who helped with criticism, illustrations, typing, meeting-attending and general enthusiasm.

Alfred Prufrock We sit to find the pure essence of being in the blown wreaths of smoke from Gail's cancerous cigarette and think and the muse of da Vinci hovers silently around and we wonder Did Leonardo eat pizza? Two neophytes come in They look at the pictures and pretend to know They order espresso and pretend to know With surprise they view double pot and demi tasse cups With many grimaces they sip the dark brew We sit and think They dose it up with sugar We smile grimly at the hypocrisies of the world We try to find the pure essence of being and strip the falseness from beliefs KINESIOLOGY CLASS and actions utside-- nowflakes through the windows We sit Cars going by; and think Going nowhere, but in a hurry Out on the street The sound of wind busy people run by Inside-- like ants in a hill Heads bent over books each important Papers rattling
