Three hospital patients,
whose friends and even parents
nave long since deserted them
decide on a solution to their
mutual problem. Neither one
of the three has a home to go
to on leaving the hospital, so
they decide to live together.
Such an unlikely threesome as
one could possibly imagine are
these three individuals.
However, they develop a
unique relationship, with a
strong underlying warmth and
an outward cold callousness.
The organizer of the group
is Warren, a paraplegic. He was
an illegitimate child whose
formative years were
supervised by an unmarried
man named Guiles. After
Guiles's accidental death,
Warren has to live with his
grandmother in Boston. While
on a hunting trip, he was shot
by a friend, but they agreed to
say it was an accident. He has
been in a wheelchair since the
shooting.
The other male member of
the group is Arthur, who is
suffering from a "progressive
neurological disease." The
doctors just don't understand
Arthur's disease. As it
progresses, he has less control
over his body, and he walks
with a funny gait. Arthur is
subject to fits when he is
excited.
Junie Moon completes the
threesome. Never a pretty
woman, she is ncflv completely
disfigured. A deranged lover
beat her up and then poured
acid on her face. The doctors
have done all that they can for
her, and she is left with
distorted face and hands.
Majorie Kellogg's first novel
is a most unusual love story,
not just of love between a man
and a woman, but of an
understanding love between
human beings. Her three main
characters are fully aware of
each other's problems as well
as their shortcomings, and they
frequently remind each other
that they are less than perfect.
Their remarks to each other are
caustic and never tactful or
subtle. However, they come to
depend on each other and
develop such a closeness that a
hurt in one is felt just as deeply
in the other two.
The triangle develops
interesting dimensions when
they finally get settled in a
run-down house under a huge
banyan tree. The tree has its
own good-luck omen in the
form of a "hooty owl," and
the house has its own snoopy
neighbor in the form of Sidney
Wyner. Sidney "wore a dirty
sleeveless undershirt most of
the time when he was home,"
almost "as if he had a grudge
against the world." He keeps
an eye on his unusual
neighbors at all times, and they
are constantly giving him
something to think about and,
more importantly, to describe
to his wife.
Miss Kellogg writes simply.
TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE
ME, JUNIE MOON develops in
short episodes, and we are
made to understand the
characters as they experience
each episode.
Although this is Miss
Kellogg's first novel, she has
written for the theatre and
television. We hope that TELL
ME THAT YOU LOVE ME,
JUNIE MOON will be the first
of many such perceptive novels
from Miss Kellogg.

"Does Dixie9 Belom
ii

From the Florida Aligator
"I think it is terrible that
'Dixie' is played at UF football
games. 'Dixie' and the
Confederate flag belong m a
museum. There was a time it
was fine. But now it is a
tradition, and I am a tradition
breaker." . ,
"I think that playing 'Dixie
is a very good idea. We here in
this fraternity house have built
ourselves on the tradition of
the old South, and we are 100
per cent behind it."
These statements are typical
student responses to a decent
Alligator poll. Students were
asked: "What do yo think of
the UF band play'mg 'Dixie'
during home football games?"
Eighty-three per cent of the
students polled favored the
band playing "Dixie."
A random poll was taken of
campus living areas,
fraternities, and sororities,
off-campus living areas, student
organizations, administrators,
and student leaders.
In only one group polled
did a majority oppose the
playing of "Dixie"-UF's Black
students.
"I don't feel anything about
'Dixie' being played at games,"
said one Black student. "I
couldn't care less because I am

not really a part of the
University. I don't do anything
but go to classes."
However, individual
students both black and
white objected to the song.
"I personally don't give a
damn," said one UF law
student. "It is not just a song,
rather it symbolizes the core of
the old South and the
university should not
perpetuate the symbol. To me
it has connotations I don't
want to be associated with."
There were many reasons
why the majority of students
favored playing "Dixie." They
ranged from: "It's a tradition
in the South and it is not
reminiscent of slavery " to "I
don't see why not. It's a song
of the South. I think Negroes
"nave a persecution complex
anyway. If there was nothing
in the song, they'd complain
anyway."
Greg Johnson, Commitment
party student leader, said, "I
am not saying that everyone
that stands to sing 'Dixie' is a
racist, but the song has racial
overtones."
"The basic problem is that
'Dixie' has significance beyond
a cultural song. It stands as a
symbol of defiance in race
relations," Johnson said.
UF President Stephen C.
O'Connell said, "I think they
(the band) ought to be able to
. play it." O'Connell said the
song has no racial overtones to
him. "It is no more so than
'Swannee River' or any other
song of the South," he added.
Some students favored the
song despite admitting it had

racial overtones. Included
among these was a UF Black
student.
"I like the song 'Dixie' . . .
as far as the overtones; well so
what? Let them cheer for it,"
she said, "cutting out the song
wouldn't cut out the feelings
people have."
"I've got friends that are
colored," said James Flyer,
3AS. I honestly don't think it
offends them ... it is part of
the culture of this school and
the South."
But he added, "If it offends
a significant number of colored
students then it should be
taken out."
Talking to students and
administrators, it is apparent
that "Dixie" provokes mixed
emotions on UF's campus.
The majority favor the song
because of "tradition" but
some of these concede it has
racial overtones.
Those opposed to "Dixie"
view it as an "archaic remnant
of a by-gone era."
Dear Linus:
You have proven by all your letters and hours of waiting for
me in lonely pumpkin patches that you are one of my most
faithful followers. For such true devotion I have decided to clue
you in on one of the pumpkin patches I will definitely be visiting
this Halloween. I plan to stick around the one at Y Court most of
the day on October 31 because such nifty things will be going on. .
From 11:30 til noon all organizations and individuals carving
pumpkins for the Great Pumpkin Contest will bring them to the
Y Court patch so that they can be seen by all the non-believers
and judged for prizes. There will be an organization winner,
individual winner, and winners for largest and most unique
pumpkins. Organization winners will receive a trophy, and
individual winners will get 2 tickets to the Rascals concert and 1 '
ticket for a Homecoming mum. , 5
Arid, Linus, if you really want to make a day of it, later that
night there is going to be a Halloween double feature. I guess you
had better bring along your blanket: you may want to cover your
eyes with it during some of the gorier scenes of Frankenstein and
Brides of Dracula, and I think they are hoping to show the movies
outside on the grass. After the movies, you'll all go inside to
watch the prizes being given in Carroll Hall for the Greatest
Pumpkins.
I hope you will be able to make it for all-the excitement,
Linus. Just don't say I didn't tell you so.
As Always,
GP
P.S. You can bring along that skeptical big sister of yours too. I'm
willing to forgive and forget if she is.
