Dear Children: "A newspaper or periodical article that is usually given a special or significant place and that intentionally expresses the views of those in control of the publication on a matter of current interest." Webster's Third New International Dictionary The above quote is for the benefit of those people who apparently believe the dictionary is a make of English bicycle. I realize that this is the only explanation I can conjure up to explain some of the garbage people have been signing their names to, for example : In a recent letter to the editor, the author's main thesis is that of common aim to say that Andy Zane isn't a fit object of opinion, Bob Elton is a fink, and that clubs are in the same unassailable position as motherhood and patriotism. To this observer, it would seem that Mr. Elton's only sin is having an opinion and the courage to state it. Now granted, his editorial isn't implicated in the grandest design of the universe, and I am sure the New York Times isn't worried about losing circulation among the world's intelligentsia. But, it seems to serve a purpose, if nothing more than to ferret out garbage minds. " And even more interesting is the fact that said author exercises exactly the same tactics that Mr. Elton is allegedly guilty of. So I would say, in the same tone of voice, sharp up or shut up. Humbly, NION B. ILDING CHILDREN TOUR Miss Melba Glade, teacher of the elementary curriculum class in the Education Department, arranged for a class of 20 children from the Pingree School's second grade to visit our campus. Attended by their principal, Mr. Nolan R. Taylor, and teacher, Miss Jean Binnie, they toured our campus on Monday, November 4, from 1 to 3 p.m-. They were greeted by Dr. Dayton in front of the .Moench Statue before they began their tour. They visited the Technical Building, Library, Gym, Union Building, and Life Science Building. The purpose of the tour was to enrich and extend the children's background and experiences in encouraging their interest in higher learning and college life. Miss Glade's remarks concerning the visit were very appropriate."This was an especially valuable experience for everyone who participated in the visit of the Pingree children to the college.

Hawkins A former Soviet Foreign Minister has told us, "Peaceful coexistence does not mean a quiet life. As long as different social and political systems exist, contradictions between them are inevitable. Peaceful coexistence is a struggle a political struggle, an economic struggle, an ideological struggle." What do these statements mean? In order to answer this question the following sources of information were consulted: The Communist Party of the United States of America, Toward Soviet America, Global Psychological Conflict, published by the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. The following statements and ideas have been gleaned from the above publications. Words have been redefined by Lenin and his followers to confuse the non-Communistic world. The Communists use language as an instrument of conquest. A word has one meaning to the Communists and a different one to the non-Communists. This makes it possible for them to tell the Communists one thing while simultaneously conveying quite a different message to non- Communists. Whenever we transfer our A m er i c a n interpretations of peace and coexistence to Communist statements on the subject, misunderstanding is sure to arise. Peaceful coexistence does not imply that the Communists intend reconciliation with Capitalism.According to the Communist dictionary, international confidence can prevail only in a Communist world. This being the case, Communists "negotiate" about disarmament by arguing against control and inspection on the grounds that confidence must precede inspection. The true purpose of negotiation is to get and not to give. They do desire disarmament; for by their own definition disarmament before the completion of the revolution means first, the unilateral disarmament of their opponents and, second, the strengthening of their own forces. War is not defined in purely military terms, but involves paramilitary and nonviolent operations. "Struggle," which is the generic term, requires employment of all and any conflict T 'w PWTS if Am techniques which could be used to advantage. Although ivar is inevitable, every effort should be made to weaken the opponents of communism before extreme risks are taken and decisive military battles enjoined. According to the Soviet Short Philosophical Dictionary, " 'Moral' is only that which facilitates the destruction of the old world," which means our democratic world and particularly the United States. Lenin said to Communist youth, "Our morality is entirely subordinated to the interests of the class struggle." The present leaders of the Soviet Union frequently reiterate their firm adherence to the principles of Marx, Engles, and Lenin. This is a reminder to Communist audiences that they must interpret all Soviet statements in the light of the original Communist creed.
