Page Two THE LINGO 1,1 N ECHO iviarcn, laoD EDITORIALS READING - FOR WHAT? When you read you are really thinking with the minds of, genius, of experience, and minds w:i - at fears. There are manyj great values in reading, but to find -lese values one must read, j Sometimes we read to escape fr?m life’s vexations and some- | times to experience life more abundantly. Whatever our motive, whether information, stimulation, pe^onal development, or simple relaxing at the end of a busy day, ;here is a value in it. One of life’s richest pleasures '.s reading. It can be mmd- easing and mind-inspiring at a tini. when communication or a movie, etc. would otherwise crowd oit of our lives the finer thinp of life. It is not a passive experienct, but one of life’s most lively pleasures. Martin L. J*’' Nobel Pea|e Prize Winner 1964 One of the pic|.ieers in the United States’ yivil Rights struggle is Dr. K'Jfartin Luther King, Jr. He has Aed thousands ' of Americans in iWrotest against j discrimination off Negroes. He ihas traveled from* the east coast ' to the west coasi^ of the United States stating tU, views with dignity, precision].- and faithful ness to the cause;. Let’s Talk About Honesty Some students may say, almct boastfully tha.t they have no time for reading, what a pity! fee the students mind needs all the creative talents of philosophers, poets, historians, and novelists to have a cultivated mind and to berim j. an educated man. Good books lift us well above *’ar normal selves. They open luminous holes in the dusk of our knowledge. We rise from such books, novels, wider thinking abilities, better vocabularies, ana greater understanding. We do not l?ve to agree with the author, but it is interesting to discover his point of view, evaluations, and to compare them with our thinking. Books represent all the thoughts, all the feelings, all the passions, visions, and dreams that have ever stirred the human mind. They are our soul means of communicating with great- minds of the past and the most convenient way open to most of us for cummuning with the best minds of today. For all of these reasons books have the capacity to enrich our lives just as they have enriched human lives through out the centuries and only by reading can we make this possible. In the historic March on Washington, King outlined “A Dream” stating^ “all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protest ants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual “Free at last!” After King’s speech, men and women wept.

King was the main speaker at the West Berlin Fes tival, which was held in 1964 as a memorial to the late John F. Kennedy. The German’s wel come for King was the most en thusiastic one since they wel comed the late Kennedy in 1961. If this did not convince you that they were really enthused with King’s presence, the fact that he was admitted to East Berlin without his passport after having been recognized by an East Berlin official.

This should be simple, as well as, interesting. Honesty is good, dishonesty is bad, but most of us have found out lately that nothing is as simple as you thought is was a few years ago. You have discovered that good and bad are not two distinctly marked highways that anyone can follow without a map. The signs are misleading and the traffic is heavy and confusing. There are bypasses and dead ends. In order to get from here to there without an accident, one needs all the help he or she can get although he is an honest person and he honestly tries to stay that way. There are hazards which can trip you up no matter how conscientious you are. If one learns to recognize these ahead of time it will enable one to avoid them. First there are social dis honesty, the lies that you tell, usually to avoid hurting other people’s feelings-” I can’t attend the party, Ethel, because I have a cold,” Instead of because, “I don’t care to go or maybe next time.” On the surface you have hurt no one, in fact you have been kind. Is this good or bad? It’s not good. You have hurt yourself by this lie, however a little one, but it keeps leaning on the back of your mind and you can’t shake it off. So there you are burdened, because you told a fib instead of being hon How Do You Rate? Popular Or Unpopular 1.

Success is failure turned inside; out. The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so afar. So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit. Its when things seem worst that you MUSTN’T QUIT, Peggy Sue Jackson Here at Lincoln, if I really must say. we have some wonder ful teachers.

I’ve often wondered what [rsonality really is. ’Through sociological studies I’ve -larned that there are two con- ,Mpts of personality. It is a per son’s social stimulus value or attractiveness and it is the sum total of the individual’s atti tudes, habits, anu characteris tics. 8.
