PAGE TWO ITIE CLARION MARCH 16, 1962 The Last Male Stronghold? It's Going . . . Going . . . The word is out that the women are preparing to invade one of the last strongholds of the American male: cigar smoking. In fact one prominent American cigar manufacturing company is already anticipating this breakthrough and is advertising a special, slen derized, filtertip cigar “that even the women can smoke.” But that doesn’t change the fact that it still feels and smells like one of the big fat stoogies enjoy ed by males for years. Can you imagine the effect the women could liave on the cigar industry? Just imagine (if you can) a typical T.V. commercial: “And now this special Queen Edward Cigar, Ladies, is guaranteed to smoke cleaner, smoother, and lighter than your regular brand of cigarettes. And witness too that it contains ao harmful tars or nicotine to give you that “midriff bulge.” It also comes in striking pastel colors, plus this new line of glowing red, celestial blue, and blushing pink ...” Sickening! Impossible? Well, in one European country the wt)men are not waiting for the new slenderized ver son: they’re puffing the big fat stoogies right along side the men! Next thing we know the women will be in the poolhalls with the men shooting pool on “blushing pirik” pool tables with cigar ashes scattered all over the place. X -rkmk X sV\ou\A'k S'T “vVsE.'b SL t>\KVT EL A Can The Pot Call The Kettle Black? “Let he that is without sin among you cast the first stone.” These words have echoed down through the ages to hit the world of today squarely between the eyes. During Religious Emphasis week Rev. Howard Wilkinson of Duke University vividly brought to our attention the fact that there is discrimination in the United States. This we knew already. Mr. Wilkinson brought this fact home by referring to the remarks of foreign yisitors to our country; “What are you doing about racial discrimination in the United States? What g'ood is this thing called democracy if it allows such prejudice ? Now Russia promises. . .” How long are we in the United States going to put up with such a one sided argument? Though it may seem a breach of diplomatic eourtesy for him to ask such an impertinent ouestion, yet it is conceivable that Mr. Wilkinson might have 'answered their question with a Question of his own: “What are you doing a^bout racial discrimination in your country? . . . Undeniably the United States does not hold a monopoly on racial prejudice: Russia, too, has her problems. Can the pot call the kettle black?

Howard Wilkinson’s speeches? Jeanne Cleary — The ones I heard bad very little in them for college situdents. They seem ed more appropriate for a church, Marilyn Wilson — The fact that ihe could talk without the use of notes. Juanita McKee — I enjoyed them, but I can’t say what im pression they kft on me. Emma Kate Osteen — They were true to life. June Wells — His ideas about education. Bob Spencer — The fact that he had something to say. Robert Edwards — His real deep thinking on problems of modern times. Charles Gibbons ^ He was a very good speaker and some of our services proved to be very worthwihile, especially the com munion. Chaplain Roy — His practical interpretation and application of the gospel for our day. Joel Stevenson — They were 100 long, and the discoission per iods never seemed to get off the ground. Ruth Pool — What I enjoyed most was a discussion on these topics: “Does God Limit Him- i I self?”, and “Does a Personal God and a Historical God Con tradict?” Faith and begorra! St. Patrick’s Day is upon us! The time for the wearing of the shamrock from the old sod is tomorow, March 17, The world is due to burst forth in the green of springtime and the green of the Irish. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, for he was the first Christian missionary to Ireland. He is credited with many won drous miracles. St. Patrick used the shamrock in explaining the Trinity to the Irish. He told them that the Trinity was like the three-leaved plant in that they were both three but on one stem. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is an annual celebration in many cities the world over. This is a time when those of Irish de scent, and those who only pre tend to be, are able to show a fondness for the country from •vhich they came. The Irish in America is one of the few minority groups to ever achieve a genuine popular ity in the feelings of protestant America. Most Americans admire the Irish for their quick wit, their intelligence, and their abil ity to remain themselves. So tomorrow wear your green proudly, because the number one Irishman in the United States, President John Fitzgerald Ken nedy, will be wearing it too. May the luck of the Irish be with him and with us all. Gene Beasley day, March 20, at 8:15 P.M. in the David Millard Jr. High School. Mr. Cousin’s “Sinai” for orchestra and chorus will be played as the feature of the evening. ★ ★ ★ Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Miller will perform in a joint Faculty Recital on Friday, March 23, at 8-15 P.M. Mr. Miller has chosen selections from Remaui Bartok and Mozart, and Mrs. Miller has selected pieces from Chopin. All members of the faculty and student body are invited to attend this recital tar held in the COB Auditorium. ” Kampus Komment By JOHN GOINS Take a fish out of water, and what do you have? A dead fish .... Take the roses off a rose bush, and what do you have? A bush full of thorns . . . Take eggs away from bacon, and what do you have? Bacon . . Take rain away from Brevard, and what do you have? Unnatu ral weather . . . Take a journal- ist away from his newspaper, and what do you have? An un happy man . . . it’s good to be working again. FASHION NOTES: While ev eryone in America was watch ing Colonel Glenn soar through space, Moscow radio came out with the startling announcement that Soviet fashion designers would soon raise the hems on dresses to a point two to two and a half inches below the knees. Now that’s what I call dirty propaganda—! What male would pay any atention to Glenn when he stands the chance of seeing the shinbone of some Rus sian beauty? But looking at it objectively, we must concede that is a step in the right di rection; of course, there is such a thing as too much progress, and I think we’ve just about reached that point in women’s dresses at Brevard. Next thing we know the vvomen will have the men back wearing “Bloom ers” and knee britches! A CLARION SPRING BOU QUET TO: The robins, who have been here since the last of Feb ruary, sticking it out through snow, rain, sleet, and rock- throwing college situdents. THE END: “Nothing,” declar ed the chemistry professor with finality, “that the mind of man can conceive of is impossible.” “Professor,” a small voice pip ed up from the rear of the room, “Did you ever try to strike a match on a marshmallow?” Little Things By LORRAINE MARTIN The world moves fast around me vVhUe I stand all alone. As I turn and look about me I find that time has flown. [ feel so unimportant, As useless as the breeze That goes along its aimless way Awhile singing through the trees, 3ut if a tiny ripple s all that I should be, Then let me be a ripple Upon a mighty sea. Or if a tiny piece of earth Ls all I’m to possess. Then let me be a mountain With white clouds on my crest. I may be a little drop of dew Upon a budding rose. Then let me shine with dia mond’s hue. As the sunlight comes and goes. [f I’m to be a blade of grass ■Among clover blossoms white, Then let me stand both straight and proud And make a meadow bright. For Iflie world would be so bleak and bare Without these little things. They’re the day that moulds humanity, The joy tJiat all life toiags-
