SPEARMAN SPEAKS TODAY
The story of how one Lewis
Gorin, Jr., of Princeton, one
night had a brainstorm and in
vented the Veterans of Future
Wars has been pretty well re
hashed. What he and his con
federates intend to do with
"their now-famous invention is a
liorse of another color.
, Jimmy Wechsler, the dynamic
little leftist whose wTork with
"the ASU is just as spectacular
as his work as editor of the re
nowned Columbia Spectator a
:few years back, cruised down to
Princeton the other day to ask
Gorin the big question: where
do you go from here? Every
one seems to think that the idea
was superb; it has everything
necessary to grab the fancy of
America's youth and its keen
satire of our money-grabbing
veteran organizations makes it
a live issue.
But now Gorin finds that peo
ple want to know what stand his
fast-growing organization is go
ing to take. Will it get active
and press its demands? Will it
side with anti-war organizations
and satirize the glories of war
as ' well as the plunders of the
veterans1?" Gorin, according to
Wechsler, doesn't exactly know
He admits that his group is or
ganizing, but he won't draw up
a 'program until he finds "what
everyone wants to stand for, and
then. . . draw up a program."
We can sympathize with Jim
rmy Wechsler's impatience with
the situation. As a force in
ASU, he likes action and he sees
lots of opportunity for an ASU
plank, anti-war, to be pushed
forward in the same wave. Jim
my and his leftists would proba?
bty give all they have to have
thought up the idea themselves.
Who wouldn't?
But personally, we wish every
body would leave the idea alone.
It's good enough like it is. As
soon as our anti-warriors get
their hooks into the organiza
tion, the fancy brainstorm is go
ing to develop into just another
propaganda machine which is
utterly ineffective. Let Brother
3orin and his clever friends
stick to their guns and be just
opd, ordinary satirists whose
ideas are pleasurable and pro
ductive without being enshroud
ed in the details of trying to
oust a bunch of militarists who
have the reins in their own
lands.
Not that we're defeatists, you
understand. Just that we like
to enjoy a bit of nectar withou
mixing in a lot of grenadine and
fancy-bottled extras to make
things more effective. We agree
-with Wechsler, though, it's too
"bad some of the power-boys
didn't think of the future war
veteran idea before. Trouble is
they're too busy fighting war to
be clever.
