Consolidation
I am happy to report that the
expansion program here at the
University appears to be coming
along just fine. Things are
simply humming along at the
new School of Business Admin
istration, while over, on Pitts
boro road, at the site of the
Medical School, construction is
progressing like everything.
The other day I happened to
be walking by the latter loca
tion and noticed an individual
of nondescript appearance stand
ing there, gazing gloomily at
the imposing structure, which
seems to be nearly completed.
I joined him and we both just
stood there for a while, in silent
contemplation.
"Something, is'nt it?" I offered
finally.
"It is" stated my unknown
friend emphatically "a monstro
sity, sir," I jumped.
"S-h-h-h" I cautioned, glancing
around nervously, " "someone
might hear you."
''Furthermore" the stranger con
tinued, ignoring my warning,
"it has no style. That is, it has
too many styles. The architect
appears to have achieved the
difficult, if inartistic, feat of
combining the neo-Gothic with
the pseudo-Colonial, not to
mention a trace of early Italian
Renaissance."
"W-e-e-ell," I muttered, "I
wouldn't ..."
"Decidedly a monument to bad
taste!" my new acquaintance
continued, breathing heavily and
waving his arms violently. "A
memorial to all the architectural
blunders of the past two thou-

things on the program might
have been interesting: some
Kreisler numbers, a Haydn sym
phony and an Aria by Bach
which turned out to be- some
thing on Piastro's, G string with
out the string Suite that goes
; with it. ' -
Some guaranteed pleasantries
mixed in with these, Strauss,
Roagers ("Oklahoma," "The
King and I"), Debussy rounded

to You" program. Everybody
was pleased and life looked a
little rosier after, tea . than, be

heard of Wright . . . of Dewey

"Quiet!" I hissed, clapping my
hand over his mouth, "think,
man, where you are! This is a
classicist stronghold!"
My friend was not to be re
strained "Here" he announced thickly,
"is to 'be established a School
in which will be taught the
latest scientific theory, the most
modern methods. And in what
would they house it? That
relic! That architectural muta
tion, by Arch-conservatism, out
of J. A. Jones!"
"Please!" I interjected heatedly,
"Granted what you say as true
which I do not-is style of
supreme importance? It will be
the function of this school to
produce badly needed men of
medicine; men to heal the sick,
to alleviate the sufferings of the .
populace."
"You just can't please some
people!" I added, looking him
straight in the eye. I stalked
off.
I had gone a little way, when
I turned for a last look at the
building under discussion. I
could not help admiring the im
posing facade; the gleam of new
brick, the rows of windows
sparkling in the sun, the white
uniformed men and women
bustling about; in short, the
whole antiseptic atmosphere of
the place. Of course, the front
did look a little like you'd think
the back ought to look. Those
columns, now, must fulfill some
useful function or they wouldn't
be there. Would they?
Nor Guilty
by Parry FarBor
Comrade Mashie, chief of the
Yugoslav co-op farm, invited
us over to the Community Re
ception Hall which was actually
a barn with a cream extractor in
one corner and two pigs in the
other. A barefoot milkmaid came
with the inevitable plum brandy
and we began to discuss com
munist farming.
Soon Mashie excused himself,
explaining that he had .to go
supervise a political discussion,
and we were introduced to Com
rade Boris - who would answer
all our questions. (Yugoslav
workers are privileged to attend
many of these "political dis
cussions" where they slap each
other on the back and tell the
supervisor how happy they are.)
For a while we couldn't get
much out of Boris. He comes
from north Yugoslavia where
they speak Hungarian and his
Serbian was a little rusty. I
come from America where they
speak English and my know
ledge of Hungarian is limited
to one nasty slang ' expressions
Mitka, our interpreter, comes
from Macedonia where they
speak lord-knows-what and he
couldn't understand Boris, even
when he was praising Tito.
Clews spoke English, French,
German,, Dutch, and Polish
none of which helped out here.
And the brandy just made things
worse.
Finally we decided to call in
one of the wine pressers who
could speak both Serbian and
Hungarian. He got the word
from Boris in Hungarian, re
layed it on to Mitka in Serbian
and from there it filtered down
to Clews and me in English.
Through this "O'Brien-to-Ryan-to-Goldberg"
combination I
managed to glean the following
story.
During the war the peasants
of Yugoslavia decided that co
op farming would mean more
bread and brandy for every
body so when Marshal Tito's
Army of Liberation swept
through Serbia they "organized
to overthrow the filthy land
lords." When Germany sur
rendered and the Peoples
State was proclaimed each com
rade pooled his land, cattle, and
plowshares with those of his
neighbors and lived happily
ever after.
ffTL . A ' ' '
ine peasants, wno nave never
known any better way of life,
seem perfectly happy and con
tent despite the hard work, the
drought, and the Soviet Army
massed a scant hour's drive to
the north. Indeed they seemed
to pity me because I had to
return to my "wretched capita
listic society."
Boris quaffed a slug of brandy
and asked for questions. "Tell
me, I smirked. "What are your
major criticisms of Marshal Tito
. and his farm policy ?
There followed a stony silence
and the gurgling of the cream
extractor took over the con
versation. I waited for an
answer. It was like dropping a
rose petal down the Grand Can
yon and waiting for an echo.
"Any more questions?" said
Mitka. Just then a burly Serb
barged into the chamber and
shouted that America and Yugo
slavia were the shining symbols
7 1
of liberty and Truman and Tito
were the arch-defenders of
peace and that I, my family,
and friends should all live ten
thousand years.
"Just keep sending us guns,"
he said, "and we'll beat holy
hell out of Russia if they cause
trouble.
I drank to that.
