COLLEGE WORLD
Since the advent of the adult
coloring books, Bob Jordan of
Seattle University’s Spectator re
cently offered drawings to be
colored, with the following cap
tives:
I am a coUege student, Color
me ivy league, notice my pipe.
It looks good. It tastes awful.
Color it prominent. Notice my
sunglasses. They keep the rain
out of my eyes. Color them use
ful.
These are my parents. They
pay for my education. Color
them poor. They thought college
would make me a better man.
Color them disillusioned.
This is my cigarette pack.
Everybody borrows it. Color it
empty.
This is my adviser. He sees
that I get the right classes
Color him blind. He is happy
when I get good grades. Color
him sad. He dresses intellectual
ly. Color him sloppy.
These are my tennis shoes.
They are my status symbols.
I am a big wheel. Color the toes
out. Color the laces broken. Color
one lost under my bed.
According to the Belles of St.
Mary’s in Raleigh some state
ments by females have hidden
meanings. For example;
She says: “Yes, I dated at
the S.A.E. house Saturday night.
It was okay, I guess.”
She means: “Oh, golly gee,
liot digety darn, I finally got
to the S.A.E. house!”
She says; “Well ... I don’t
usually blind date at all, but
I think I can make it this time.”
She means; “Tliank goodness,
a chance to get out! Who is he?
What’ll we do? What’ll I wear?
Do I have time to get my hair
done?” (mild panic).
So our opinions are confirmed
as truths. Now we know!

answers a queotion that was re
cently discussed in the Decree
office, that of the stand taken
by college newspaper editors in
Mississippi on the segregation
issue. After condemning Missis
sippi’s governor Ross Barnett,
Melvin Meyer of the Crimson
and White (University of Ala
bama) received several anony
mous telephone calls threaten
ing his life. He has also received
offers of free trips out of town
in “a pine box,” and a cross has
been burned in front of the
twenty year old editor’s frater
nity house.
And that’s today’s CoUege
World.
Phi Sigma Officers
Chosen At Meeting
The members of Phi Sigma
met on Jan. 29 to elect offi
cers for the first fraternity on
the Wesleyan campus. RoyaU
Brown was installed as presi
dent. Otlier officers were; Vice
President, Chet Murphy; Sec
retary, Guy Turner; Treasur
er, Mel Whitmore; and His
torian, Doug Zellner.
The motto of the fraternity,
“Faithful Service,” was for
mally recognized. Various pro
jects were brought before the
members, and a committee
was appointed to evaluate the
proposed projects.
Although Phi Sigma is now
a local fraternity, the mem
bers look forward to eventual
association with the national
fraternity Alpha Phi Omega.

“Common sense,” therefore,
as the all-solving, aU-savLng
mental power present in all of
us is nothing more than a ro
mantic sham.
If “common sense” is any
thing at aU, it is merely a catch
all term to be used liberally
wherever more accurate words
cannot be thought of. In fact,
whenever someone who is try
ing to convince us of something
asks us to use our “common
sense” we may be sure of one
of two things: one, he is an en
lightened individual who is try
ing to get some new fact through
our thick heads by flattering our
intelligence, or two, he is a
crackpot who cannot produce
sound reasons for his viewpoint
but wants to be believed on the
basis of his word alone. In
either case his argument is pure
ly an emotional one and has no
relation to logic, common or un
common.
The lie of “common sense”
is so firmly implanted in our
heads that all the evidence to
the contrary may never be able
to remove it. (Our “common
sense” tells us that.) But the lie
cnn be altered a bit in such a
way that present idea wiU tem
porarily correspond with present
fact. Take the term “common
sense” and for the word, “sense”
merely substitute the word,
“mentality.”

The Third Annual Paperback
Book Cover Show sponsored by
the American Institute of Gra
phic Arts is on display in the
Exhibit GaUery at North Caro
lina Wesleyan College for a
period of two weeks beginning
Feb. 11. The Gallery wiU be
open Monday through Friday
from 9 to 9, on Saturday from
9 to 5 and on Sundays from
2 to 5. The exhibit is free of
charge and the public is cordial
ly invited to attend.
The exhibit is made up of 69
covers, including five books se
lected by the jury for good de
sign, interior as weU as cover.
Graphic arts students and pro
fessionals will be interested in
the original art, paste-ups, pro
gressive proofts and other steps
between the designer’s concept
and the finished product as it
appears on the sales counter.
Almost every design is accom
panied by a piece of original
material; Ben Shahn, for in
stance, sent five preliminary
sketches of the lettering for a
Doubleday entry, “American
Poetry and Poetics.”
Twenty publishers are repre
sented in the exhibition, the
lion’s share going to New Ameri
can Library, Bantam Books,
Dutton, and Harper & Row, with
six more covers selected for
each house.
Fifty-five art directors, design
ers, and artists are represented,
including William R. Gregory,
Leonard P. Leone, Robert Chen
ey, Cyril I. Nelson, Diana Kle-
min, GUda Kulilman, and Kim
Taylor.
The range of subject matter
is wide, from “Sumerian Mytho
logy” to the boxed set of Dur-
rell’s “Alexandria Quartet.”
Sliakespeare has two titles, as
does Willa Cather.
Symbols play an important
role in many of the designs.
The white whale dominates
Farrar-Straus! “A Reader’s
Guide to Herman Melville.” A
photograph of an early symbol
is used in the “Story of Ancient
History” and Rorischach-test fig
urations for “God and the Un
conscious.” Editions of the
covens represented range from
1,000 for “corall 1961” to 200,000
for Prokosch’s “Ballad of Love.”
It is not surprising that the high-

est print quantity is Agatha
Christie’s novel, “Poirot Investi
gates” which was published in
an edition of 225,000.
The jurors of this year’s ex
hibition were Irwin Glusker, art
director of Horizon Magazine;
Janet Halverson, designer; and
George Tscherny, designer.
This is the first North Caro
lina showing of the Institute’s
third annual exhibit. It was
shown in New York at the AIGA
Galleries during December and
is now beginning a cross-country
tour of college galleries and mu
seums. As a mirror of the gra
phic arts in the book-publishing
field, it should prove of wide
Interest to the public in general
and to graphic arts students in
particular.
