This is not to .say that he is a bad novelist; it is to say that the scope and intensity nt his subject matter, and 1he manner in which be handles it. is s; narrow as to place him in the category nf talented technicians whose achievement- rover matched their abilities. (Vllaraland can le located on the map by run ring a little commuters' line out of I'hikuUlphia !'T a 50-100 miles radius. l is the land of Mr. Spectorsky's ' Exurbianites." of Bucks County, of -bifr houses overlooking spreading lawns, of sex. political intrigue, ami of the not-so-little problems of the well-to-do. Ourselves To Know is the st ry of why and how an intelligent, sensitive m-nn murders his wife. It is told in the style of an affectionately written, privately published memoirs by a young man named Gerald lliggins. Higtfins befriends the aging llohcrt Millhou-er. who is a sort of town enigm:t. and persuades him to tell the story of his life, times and troubles. Mr. Millhouser's life was nowhere nearly as fascinating as either Higgens or O'Hara would like ms to believe. Rather, it seems to have been a col lection of extremely dull years interspersed with occasional episodes involving homosexuals, prosti tutes and traumas down on the farm. The marriage of Robert Millhousor and HeiWa Steele is rather like a Lolita-come-lately affair; she is eighteen, he fifty-one when the marriage bond is east. For obvious reasons this cannot be a very strong bond, and it is soon broken when she de velops a wandering eye. Ilis jealousy is aroused to a fever pitch and, in a mon'-nt of midnight insar ity. he shoots her as she sleeps. The rest of the book is exaausfed by OTfara's attempts to rationalize this murder in terms of the girl's falsehood and the man's inner unhappiness. Of course this is on old situation, and perhaps O'Hara is asking a little too much in expecting us to believe that murder is all right, if there is a reason. Millhousor docs not seem to leal a par ticularly miserable, regret-ridden life alter his ac quit t al : he retreats into a se'l'-mado exile from society, content to rest upon his former reputation as an aloof, respectable member of the communty whom the lower classes will ignore. He succeeds. What O'Hara has attempted to do in this mvel is interesting. As the rather didactic, straightfor ward title suggests, he is primarily concerned with our search and the individual's search to know oneself. He achieves a knowledge of Millhousor which is epiite credible; the reader becomes slowly acquainted with the protagonist, through his actions and thoughts, until at the end a character emerges who can be called, with only a little stretch of the imagination, a real human being. In the process of reaching this conclusion, how ever, the reader is forced to wade through a very slow and nlther badly constructed novel. The firt 150 pages are of immeasureablo tediousness. The duty which the reader is forced to assume of go ing to Europo with Robert Millhousor and his homosexual friend is a dull one and often a rather embarrassing one. And 1 illhouser's repeated con tention that this character is the "finest man I've ever met" rubs these ears the wrong way. The memoir structure has been used often in the past to great advantage, but O'Hara does not handle it well. There are repeated personal inter jections by the narrator which detract from the train of action of the novel and make picking up whore you loft off a rather difficult task. Ourselves To Kntv.v is an interesting novel, in places, but it h net a good one. It does not live up to much of O'llara's emTier work. It serves main1 to demonstrate that O'Hara has never lived up to liis great potential. Reader's Repository Dear Editor, It has been my observation, during my last year at the Uni versity that our honor system is not as successful as one might expect it would be. I feel ;hat the system Ls unrealistic, and because ol this, unsuccessful. I would like to describe an honor system which has been successful at many schools in the past, and could be aJap'.eM to our campus situation. Al the beginning of each semes ter, every class lakes ton minutes to decide whether they want to g.) on ihe honor .system. If more than 25 percent ol" the class votes against the system, the class re mains under watch! ul factilly proetorir.g. This introduces a (ac tor of democracy where it does n,ii stem to exist al present. li a .-:'u.!c:!l suspecis cheating on an exam, or if he loo's the physical conditions under which the exams were given were poor, he Joes no. sign his pledge. This means there m.-y have been cheat ing. When three instances of bad cundilians have been repotted the class g.;Os i,ff the honor system. When a student is sure of cheat ir.g he crosses out his pledge. Up on the SECOND instance of de finite cheating the class goes oil llu system. This applies to cases whore the student himself has cheated. The student is NOT required to name anyone involved in or sus poe.e.1 of cheating. When a stu dent is required to give names he is loss ' likely to turn anyone in. Thus the cheating would con tinue. Under the now system he would repert that there was cheat ing; it this occurred twice the class would go off the system and faculty proctoring would hopeful ly eliminate the cheating. An instructor should always ify to leave the room during an exam given under the suggested h.mor system. Many times on this cam pus, the instructors stay in the classes and watch the 'Students. If the teachers don't seem to re spect the system we have, how can the students bo expected to support it? Because this new system pro vides ior a case of uncertainty, where cheating may have occur red, it would be an improvement over our current system. If, how ever, our government persists in forcing one to turn another in for breaking the system. I suggest they make a study of our Com munist "brothers" across the sea who have successfully perfected a similar system. Allen Matlins to 3 Z -3Mx f XX 1 THt TROUBLE WITH YOU 16.

Having been trapped this time by the editor and my impending demise in June (if the proper sacrifices to the gods are made). I am plainly struck with an atrabilious aphasia and have not the foggiest notion of what one should write or wants to write on this day of bombastic back-slapping. Therefore, let me take this occasion to suggest what three alumni might write for our bTth anniversary. The politician: ''I am highly, deeply, greatly honored to have been invited by your astute editor on this grand day of reminiscence to say a few words for the well-noted anniversary thereof. Glori ous in its past tradition of carrying on the noble heritage of our great State aad God-fearing nation, this paper stands to the fore through its own merits, by the sweat and blood of its staff's con tinuous "".iris for flag, mother, virtue, honor, fro" nd all t'w other thmgs which make ::tic way of life triumphant.

I mn.'t say. on reading your current edi-t'-ns. that I have made a profound observation: ! ngs are still the same, tho issues have merelv ''anged color, the writers are more venturesome id take more liberties, but. essentially, we ohl t mors can toll you from experience that there is rea'ly nothing now under the sun that includes Avery thing under your masthead. But take heart, and steel yourself for the future, (signed) Class of '42 " The success lul journalist: 'Mv advice, though unsolicited, to vour statfers is this: stop writirg only to see vour name in the paper as soon as possible. Don't proselytize yourselves to the edicts of yoiu" journalism, school, its professors, and i1s stereotyacd textbooks. Learn your trade, yes. and learn it well. But ycu cannot function intelligently with tools alone. Do not shut out the rest of your academic world. Learn how to evaluate the facts objectively once tcv- hve hern assembled. Study, especially, the English language, its grammar, the nuances of its words, the power of its creative imagery. Study political theory, the great ideas of philosophy, at least three or four natural and physical sciences, and the works of the lasting poets and authors that history has produced and preserved. Of all things, realize that you are in an institute of higher learning, not a four-year voca tional school of the social amenities. "Finally, since you are in the university that produced one of America's greatest writers. Thom as Wolfe, you might follow his compulsive path to the library. Head everything you possibly can. and this means three or four books a week in addi tion to your scheduled studies. You cheat yourself if you do n1. You lie to yourself if you claim there is not time. And once that parchment cur tain has fallen, you may regret for the rest of your days having squandered those valuable, irredeem able years. There is a universal finality to Wolfe's observation that "you can't go home again." March 2-9 .. .
