women and children into every
available space. The ship arrived at
Pusan on Christmas Eve without
any loss of life althought it had
sailed through a thirty-mile mine
field.
Leonard P. LaRue of Philadel
phia, Pennsylvania, was the Mer
chant Marine captain of the Mere
dith Victory during the perilous
voyage. He wrote in the ship’s log:
“Scrambling up cargo nets let
over the side, literally thousands of
Korean men, women, and children
climbed to safety. They filled the
holds, the ’tween-deck spaces, the
main and boat decks and clung in
the rigging. , , .”
Captain LaRue was present at
Washington ceremonics in the Na
tional Press Club in 1951 where
the entire crew of the Meredith Vic
tory was honored. And he attended
the 1960 ceremony when the spe
cial act of Congress named his for
mer ship “gallant,” the highest honor
a seaman can ask for his vessel. A
plaque was placed aboard the ship,
and she continued to sail until the
end of the Korean conflict.

Senior Class, the college marshal,
the society presidents, and the edi
tors of the Acorn and Oak Leaves.
The editor of The Twig was left
on the committee to represent all
three publications.
A second change accepted by the
student body allows for freshmen
votes to be counted as full votes.
In past years, freshmen were al
lowed only half votes in student gov
ernment elections.
The third change in elections pro
cedures involves the scheduling of
elections. The amount of time al
lowed for elections has been length
ened to allow more time for candi
dates to petition and more time for
candidates to prepare their plat
forms. Under the new schedule, a
list of candidates nominated by
the Nominating Committee will be
posted oil Thursday, one week be
fore elections. Candidates for nomi
nation by student petition will have
until the following Monday to file.
On Tuesday, all candidates will be
presented in assembly, and on
Thursday, elections will be held. Ac
cording to the newly > approved
schedule, run-off elections must be
held within one week of the original
election. This last revision is in
tended to prevent having flrst-slate
run-offs on the second-slate ballot.
Student officials selected by the
Nominating Committee to supervise
elections include Ann Berry, senior,
general chairman; Jan Rogers, ju
nior, registrar; Carolyn Nutt, sopho-
freshman, judge.
“HOW LITTLE I KNOW”
(Continued from page 2)
Not believing in absolute truth, he
states, “1 assume it to be probable
that: The combined metaphysical
and physical universe is the aggre
gate of all humans consciously ap
prehended and communicated . . .
experiences."
Several points come up in the ar
ticle, and with them, questions. Mr.
Fuller, just what is the communica
tions theory to which you allude in
your article? Explain your assump
tion that God may be recognized by
man as the ^‘weightless passion-
drive which inspires our progressive
searching for the momentarily only
. . . and the comprehension of all
the intercormections of all experi
ences. . .
After struggling through Buck
minster Fuller’s article, the reader
cannot really tell what he has
learned, but he will have many ques
tions!
