Paige Bishop ..Miss Jess Byrd Check Out Library Books; Show Others Consideration Libraries have been renowned as centers of learning since the Middle Ages when they constituted the sole sanctuaries of liter ary preservation. The monks spent innumerable hours carefully recopying manuscripts which were highly valued in their librar ies. If these men had not treasured their books then the modern world could never have derived the benefit of their contents. It is equally important for us to care for our books in ordeh to preserve them for future students. If one takes a book from the library without signing it out, then it stands a favorable chance of never finding its way back. This constitutes both a material and cultural loss to the library, which could total great sums if each girl removed books. The repercussions of removing books extend even further. Despite the borrower’s good intentions of replacing it, a mode of stealing is involved. One wouldn’t borrow a book from an other girl’s room without leaving her a note. This same theory is applicable to courteous library usage since it is difficult for the library staff to function efficiently if it must spend extra time locating lost books. In practice, it takes less time for each girl to check out her own book than it does for library personnel to track them down. The process of signing books put is basically simple. It is just one more way of showing consideration of the property of others, and for their conveniences as well as one’s own. NBT Communion Grows From Solitude; Paul Tillich Discusses Loneliness By Mary S. Hill :^“In some way every creature is alone. . . . This is true of every creature, and it is more true of man -than of any other creature. He is .not only alone; but also knows that he is alone. . . . He asks why he is •alone . . . For this aloneness he cannot endure. Neither can he escape it. It is his destiny to be alone and to be aware of it. Not even God can take this destiny away from him.” So spoke Paul Tillich. And how often during the course of his long life must he not have been aware of his own loneliness. As a young man he found himself, in his own thinking, standing as a romantic in contrast to an authoritarian ration alist ; and, in his practice, in a re volt of his own against moral rigidity. As a professor in Ger many he found himself standing openly opposed to Nazism (grateful for the “honor” of being dismissed when Hitler came to power). As a man past middle-age, he began a new life in this country necessarily so often alone because of the bar rier of a language still largely un familiar to him. A great lover of nature, he so often stood alone on the sea-shore before the ever-mov ing, never-silent ocean. In these and countless other ways Tillich must often have experienced lone liness—-separation of himself from others and from the world. But there were many ways in which he was separated from others of which he himself could not have been aware. The profundity and breadth of his mind left his hearers, readers, and students wondering whether they had grasped what he was saying, questioning whether the questions aroused in their minds were legitimate or even pertinent. The disarming character of his com plete naturalness and simplicity separated him from the sophisti cated and pseudo-sophisticated alike. His genuine humility set him apart from even his most willing followers. Yet, strangely enough, the very qualities which separated him from others were the ones which drew others to him. The penetration of his thought gave one confidence to think for oneself and to raise ques tions with no doubt that they would be dealt with seriously.

Since everyone in Lehman has been such a good girl, he paid a visit and left flowers for the dorm and yellow roses for Jane Cottle. If you still don’t believe he exists, girls, come read the signature on the card for yourselves. It’s right there in black and white. The freshmen and sophomores on third floor Babcock got into the spirit of Halloween in fine style. They decided to trick-or-treat on the hall. Each pair of roommates, in turn, went up to each door col lecting treats or playing tricks. Mary Ellen Lane and Cherie Lewis dressed up as Eros and Agape love. Somehow I would have loved to see their costumes. It would have been extremely interesting! Speaking of dressing up, Mar garet Bourdeux has the perfect out fit. Charlie Marcon sent her a fire- engine red lounging set from Korea. Now, Margaret, we want to know to whom you are going to show them off. Anyone notice anything different about Gree Jones? Could it be that beautiful pin she received this weekend from Mike Jones, a PiKA at Carolina ? Congratulations, Gree! Ann Dozier was in for a shock this past week. Her boyfriend sent her a clipping which announced both their engagement and their plans for an early spring wedding. It was a nice article but the only problem was neither Ann nor John knew anything about it. Well, in the spirit of fun and giving, Lehman gave a Halloween party Sunday night for the juniors in Gramley and Sisters. Orange and black decorations were every where. Pumpkins were lit. There was apple-bobbing, a “go-fishmg booth, and of course a House ot Horrors where all kinds of spirits prevailed. The high-light of the evening, though was a delightful floor show by Eleanor Lauck a j Jill Stewart impersonating Chiri Jackson and the Supremes. Ask Bev Paisley about the ij she had at Davidson this past weei* end. Jim .Armstrong, a Sigma Alpl,, Epsilon, asked her to join him in % TV room. When she walked int, the room, a live six-foot boa con- stricter lay at her feet. It has beei reported that Bev leaped up a % of stairs in two bounds.

H i s essential humility which hid what has been By Sybil Cheek Premier Castro’s move to offer free passage to Cubans seeking exile in the U S. is creating a problem for present residents Southern Florida. The area has already absorbed 90,000 Cuban refugees since Castro siezed power. After the surge of 12,« refugees during the first week, Floridians are becoming mcreas- in^lv concerned about the possibility of 50,000 to 70,000 mot# Cubans swelling the 200,000 already settled in the “Sunshki ^^Governor Haydon Burns has asked the U. S. Government foi immediate resettlement of the refugees. In Dade County, fin rida the school superintendent has barred any more Cubans until funds are sent for federal school aid. The stumbling blotl remains that the U. S. Government cannot force these people b resettle elsewhere. Therefore, during the first month be nmg October 7, all the government has been able to do is Florida for co-operation and help with any new problems might develop. On October 28, however, the boat shuttle across ninety ii of treacherous sea was halted by Castro. This transportatioa li small boat will be replaced by safer and faster airlift transport by chartered planes. Refugees will land at Opa-Locka, then it board either flights to relocation points in other parts of tli country. This channeling process of Cuban immigrants to other arts has been initiated to curtail further economic strain on tlii state of Florida. The Health, Education, and Welfare Depart ment is increasing its staff in anticipation of 3,000-4,000 arriTuli per month. However, a great deal of these relocations will!* handled through private, voluntary, and relief agencies. Negotiatory talks and details have been worked out Havana and Washington with the aid of Foreign Minister drei A. Gromyko and Swiss Ambassador Emil Stadelhofer. posals have been made to the U. S. that no fewer than 400 refii gees be evacuated per day. Those Cubans with immediate if latives residing in the U. S. have priority over all others ing exile; the one exception is that draft-age males are exemii from Castro’s open-door policy. The move as a whole, ft Chiristian Science Monitor reports, is seen by many observei) “as a more liberal attitude on the part of Premier Castro towaii nonsympathizers.” This liberal attitude has passed on the den of caring for these individuals and families to the U. Government. Sources: Goodsell, James Nelson. “Shifts Seen in Cuban Stance, Im] Still Elusive,” The Christian Science Monitor, October 1965, p. 6.

Letter To Editor To the Editor: I write this letter in the hope that my colleagues who have been so critical of the condition of the studios in the basement of the Fine Arts Center may acquire a more tolerant attitude toward human creativity. I’m quite certain that those who have been most out spoken about the “messiness” of the art studios in the Fine Arts Center would be the most sensitive about criticism regarding their own “modus operandi” whether it be ad ministrative or instructional. I’m as certain that their attitude toward the “messiness” resulting from the construction of the Fine Arts Cen ter itself was far more tolerant, and that they felt much less freedom to express themselves with regard to the dust and noise which was very much in evidence during the con struction of that building. I would further call attention to the documented working methods of artists like Ernest Hemingway, Vincent van Gogh, Ludwig van Beethoven, Thomas Wolfe, Rem brandt van Rijn, William Faulb® and Michelangelo Buonarotti (j absorbed in his work that nioiii- of marble dust in his studio 'I inconsequential — as was the that he went for weeks bathing).
