A Visit To Hong Kong, Perhaps?

Feeling hungry a bit? Then why
not step Into the door of any
restaurant that happens to strike
your fancy, and gallantly order
some food to be brought to you.
Wait, before you make your
choice at random, I would like to
give some suggestions:
(1) “Chow Fang”—fried rice
with chopped meat, shrimps,
mushrooms and eggs.
(2) “Fin’s soup” —with fish’s
fin, chopped chicken meat, egg
white and chopped parsley.
“But I am a connoisseur of
seafood,” you mj^y complainingly
argue. Then, my connoisseur,
take heart. “Aberdeen Bay”--
the famous site for floating sea*
food—restaurant Is only 45 mins.
drive from where you are. ( By
chance, some of you might have
heard of it In the M.G.M. pro
duction, ‘THE WORLD OF SUZY
WONG’). TWO restaurants of this
sort Imposingly take their stands
amidst the ripples and waves.
They are modeled after the old
est traditional Chinese style, with
green tlled-roof and red cylind
rical poles. The latter have gol
den dragons engraved on them.
Inside the restaurants, all sorts
of sea-dellcasies, (some, whose
existence may even be, a sur
prise to some biology-major stu
dents here) will be served to
you. ( With U.S. $3.00, you and
your friend will be able to eat
to your hearts’ content). And don’t
forget, when you are not in a
hurry, you can have the fun of
choosing your own fish, clam,
crab, lobster straight from the
sea. In order to enjoy your food
to the full, you should get used
to picking up food with chop
sticks. ( Ah Hah! speaking about
chop—sticks— Betty Chang’s
roommate Miss 0. is an expert
In it. And Betty Chang herself
can perform a very sophisticat
ing and intriguing Chop-sticks-
dance too!) . Undoubtedly, every
one knows that chop-stick de
mands a certain manoeuvering
technique, whereas anyone with
enough common sense can handle
a fork ana' a knife. (No offense
to the knife - and-fork eaters.
I hope? )
When you have had your fill
of stomach, you will probably
like to have a look around In
the city Itself. If you have a
desire to swim or fish, there
are a dozen accessible, beauti
ful beaches to choose from. How
ever, if you are an esthete, then
“City Hall” is just the right
place for you. Inside this build
ing, various kinds of painting,
antique and interior-decorations’
exhibitions are being held, as well
as play and drama performances-
sufflciently enough to entertain
you for the rest of the day.
Veils of darkness soon pre
vail as the sun sets behind the
hills about seven p. m. Now is
the best time for you to get on
board a ferry heading for Koq
loon, (another section of Hong
Kong). Leisurely surveying the
Island from the deck, you will
be confronted with the most en
chanting view the world could
possibly offer . There, slowly
unveiling before your eyes, is
the magnificient diamond with
its dazzling neon-llghts reflec
ted from within.
Should any of the above para
graphs move you to come over
there for a visit, just be sure
to drop me a note beforehand.
And you’ll be guaranteed a most
rewarding and unforgetable tour.

On November 3, the day after
the election, this paper appeared
on the Student Union bulletin
board (you know, the one that is
supposed to be for student an
nouncements but is always clut
tered with church news, “youth
opportunities”, archeological
discoveries, etc.?). At any rate.

some sly satirist managed to
shift all the junk around and make
a place for his little “article”.
The results were phenominal!
Various comments, reproduced
here, were written to the author
and aroused quite a bit of con
troversy throughout the day. Al
though most of those who wrote
answering comments complete
ly missed the point, at least it
can be said that they showed
some interest. Someone, some
several persons, finally showed
some interest in something! per

Aspects
We, the staff of Aspects, feel
that many members of the college
community are unaware of our
relatively new publication, the
purposes of this publication, and
the role we are expection from
you to make this publication a
success.
Aspects is a literary magazine
with the purpose of publishing the
most successful efforts of our
students and faculty toward work
of a creative nature. This work
ranges from creative poems and
short stories to genuine research
articles. Needless to say, As-
PECTS WILL play a major role
mong campus fDi^jblicatlons be
cause we feel such a work is ne
cessary to encourage and present
to the public creativeness on our
campus.
We would appreciate an increas
ed interest on your part in As-
pects In order that our publT-
cation this year may be success
ful and rewarding, one which
Wesleyan College can be proud of.
If any of you feel that you would
like to contribute an essay, poem,
short story, etc. for publication
in Aspects, see Bryce Cook,
Eddie Hopkins, Tommy Inscoe,
Hilda Floyd, or Mr. Garmon,

The University raised the spirit
of freedom and justice ma iy
years before the Independance
from Spain. In 1871, she saw eight
students die. They.- were the ex

show the students that they should
keep their noses out of politics.
The example was not very sue-'
cessful^ In the war of 1895 there
were a lot of leaders from the
student body who decided to fight
for freedom. The early result
was jail, exile and death. Later

would encounter a difficult enemy

carefully studied. He wrote an

Since that moment the University
lost all its prestige in the sight
of the people. It became an organ

Boitel, the “defeated,” contin

arms and rebellion pamphlets.
Now, he is paying his “crime”
