These thoughts flash through my mind as we put out the last issue under my editorship. They are not enough; they do not express my feelings adequately. An editorial that would fill this page cannot do so. How can I convey the thoughts I have? How can I thank my staff? A long list of the people who have worked and a personal thank-you to each of them is not enough to say that without your help, it would have been hopeless. How can I say to a lady who sits in her office, always available when I need advice but never forcing her opinions on me—thank you. Probably the people who read this will not believe I wrote it. When I re-read it, it even sounds sloppy, sentimental, and pitiful to me. More people will remember my gripes and com plaints and profane screams than will think of anything else. But pitiful as it is, I want to try to thank you for letting me edit your student newspaper—I hope I have pleased you some times—and perhaps made you think. It has been worth much to me. Thank you.

Pursuit Of Excellence Demands Craftsmanship by Betsy Hatton These are the times that try men’s souls. Oh, yes, the aesthetics cry. “It’s spring! It’s warm! The rain will help the flowers grow!" The flowers don’t have term papers and mid-terms, though. And the rain doesn’t produce anything but mud. Spring vacation seems far ther and farther away, and no one will work on the “Electra” set. Germans helped last week end—so did Anne Ingram’s ring — and the week end weather was beautiful, hut everything seems to have re gressed. Nassau and Daytona Beach plans are altered to fit in with last minute tests. The early dieters have started; the last min ute panic diets will start next week. Transfer plans are confirmed and the cry goes up “What are we going to do without you next year ?” Determined girls discard sweaters and woolens and shiver in their cotton clothes. Cheerful notes; The sophomores’ class rings are here. Betty Benton went to the Mason Jubilee as the dream girl representative of the Gamma Omicron chapter of Theta Chi, and Millie Ravenel has been named traveler of the year—Cor nell and Hampden-Sidney in one week. One optimistic note about the weather—it ought to keep the short cutting “weegie monsters” on the brick walks rather than on the grass-seeded mud. thur Miller’s Death of a Sales man in that America is constantly worried about being well liked. Mr. Pedro A. Sanjuan, Director of Special Protocol Services, spoke on “Problems in America and Total Diplomacy.’ Mr. Sanjuan said the “biggest burden on our backs” in foreign policy is racial discrimina tion. “How,” he asked, “can we persuade Africans and Asians that we believe in human dignity when we deny it to our Negros ?” Finally, Mr. Charles W. Foust, U. S. Deputy Permanent Repre sentative to the U. N., speaking about the importance of the image of America in the United Nations, maintained that the United States’ most important task in the U. N. and the world is to maintain a “Christian democratic image that shows reality at home.” The image of America abroad was presented by a panel of four speakers with Miss Lisa Sergio, Editor of Widening Horizons, serv ing as moderator. Mr. Ivin Mac- Bean, economist from the Univer sity of Glasgow, said that the mem bers of the European Common Market “want a third economic bloc to make Europe less depen- (Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from an address by Charles F.

I am sure you have heard many discus sions of the professional versus the amateur, and of what constitutes a profession. I do not intend to throw any more fuel on those fires. “But I do believe that, when we speak of a professional job, or the professional touch, we are convey ing a fairly clear and acceptable concept. It does not mean merely sophisticated as opposed to clumsy work. It does mean that there is present a considerable degree of craftsmanship, attention to all the details and a fundamental integrity in the work itself. It means that the work gives evidence that the workman knew what he was doing and carefully brought his skill to bear on the task. The workman who does that consistently is a pro fessional, whether he gets paid or ...So the last member oP the Link race, has passed away?! He cashed in yesterday!
