The highlights of the program were the presentation of the his tory of the sorority by Soror Ester Morgan and a fashion show by the Pyramids.

All items on display were made by members of the Pyramid Club. OnCampius with MK^huIman (Author of “I Was a Teen-age Dwarf", “The Many Loves of Dobie GiUia”, etc.) EDUCATIONAL TV: ITS CAUSE AND CURE A great deal of nonsense has been written about educational television. Following is my contribution: It has been said that television allots no desirable viewing hours to educational and intellectual programs. This is simply not so. For instance, you can see “The Kant and Hegel Hour’5 every day at 4 a.m. This excellent show is followed at 5 a.m. by “Kierkegaard Can Be Fun.” For such lazy scamps as lie abed beyond that hour, there is a splendid program on Sunday mornings at 7:15 called “Birds of Minnesota, Except Duluth.” - So much for the myth that TV gives no prime time to educy tion&I programs. Now let us deflate another canard: that TV is not eager to inject intellectual content in aZZ its programs. If you have sat, as I have sat, with a television planning board, you would know that the opposite is true. I was priv» fleged recently to witness a meeting of two of TV’s topmost program developers—both named BinHe Tattersall. “Binkie,” said Binkie to BinMe, “if there is one thing I am bound and determined, it’s that we’re going to have intel lectual content in next season’s programs.” “Bight I” replied Binkie. f'So let us put on our thmking caps and go to work.” “I forgot my thinking cap in Westport,” said Binkie, “but I have a better notion: let us light a Marlboro.” “But of course!” cried Binkie. “Because the best way to, ttiinit is to settle back and get comfortable, and what is the cigarette that lets you settle back and get comfortable?” > f‘I smd Marlboro,” answered Binkie. “Weren’t you listening?*! “A full-flavored smoke is Marlboro,” declared Binkie. “Rich tobacco, pure white filter, a choice of pack or box. What is better than a Marlboro?’’ “A Marlboro and a match,” replied Binkie. “Got one?” Binkie had, and so they lit their good Marlboros and settled back and got comfortable and proceeded to cerebrate. “First of all,” said Binkie, “we are going to avoid all the old dich&. We will have no domestic comedies, no westerns, no private eyes, no deep sea divers, no doctors, and no lawyers.” “Eight!” said Bii^e. “Something offbeat.”. “That’s the word—offbeat,” said Binkie. They smoked and cerebrated. “You know,” said Binkie, “there has never been a series about the Coast and Geodetic Survey.” “Or about glass blowers,” said BuJde. They fell into a long, torpid silence. {.“You know,” said Binkie, “there’s really nothing wrong with a cliche situation—provided, of course, it’s offbeat.” “Right!” said Binkie. “So let’s say we do a series about a guy who’s a family man with a whole bunch of lovable Mds who play merry pranks on him.” “Yeah, and he’s also a cowboy,” said Binkie. “And a deej) sea diver,” said Binkie. “With a law degree,” said Binkie. “Pius an M.D.,” said Binlde. “And he runs a detective agency,” said Binkie. “Binkie,” said Binkie to Binkie, “we’ve done it again!” They shook hands silently, not trusting themselves to speak, and lit Marlboros and settled back to relax, for Marlboro is a cigarette not only for cerebration, but for settling back with in fact, for all occasions and conditions, all times and climes, all seasons and reasons, all men and women. © 1962 m« shuim»a This column is sponsored—sometimes nervously—by the makers of Marlboro, who invite you to try their fine^ filler cigarettes, available in king-size pack or flip-top box at tobacco counters in all 50 states.
