Effective Method
For Getting Moil
by JON I .I I HOIK.SON
Boy, I've found a sure way to keep my post
office iiox supplied with mail just complain
about the situation loud and long enough, tin
til people are moved to do something about
it (whether out of pity or the desire to shut
me up i* debatable).
Week before lu in Odd* and Knd* I la
■minted the fact that my mail box was bare,
except for a collection of dust arid a beril
straight pin.
During the following week I received all
kinds of mail 1 got several post card* (none
of them picture post cards, however i and all
kind* of magazine*, including some kind of
flower and shrub catalog and a I Collier's
magazine with a picture of Kim Novak on the
cover. Some boys promptly stole the Collier's,
Oh, I almo«t forgot. I also got a bulletin from
the Nlf< A National Hairdressers and <'os
roetologists ass*>cta t ion.
Now I realize that very few people on the
campus have a column in the ('hat with which
to increase their mail intake So, if you're
tired of seeing only your reflection in the lit
tie glass pane of your postal box, you've got.
to be resourceful arid let people know about
it.
Of course the obvious thing would be to
establish your own newspaper in which you
cotiJd have a column; next best, simply have
handbills printed and circulated.
But these sugge ttuns are doubtless too ex-
pensive to In- practical, beside*, they lack
originality.
What you must do is something different
that will make people realize the plight you're
in and want to help you Perhaps if you got
a soap box (or apple crate), stood upon it in
front of the union building, and bewailed the
sad plight of your continuously empty mail
box , , .
If you buy one of those love magazines, you
can find ads for lonely hearts clubs, to which
you can send f>() cents and your name and ad
dress and get all sorts of mail.
There are thousand; of ways one can in
rcase hi* mail so many that I think I'll
write a (>ook called "HI,(KM) Ways to Kill Your
Mail Box."

\
ha* sung in oratorio, concert*, and on the ra-
dio as soloist in 2-1 state* during hi* career.
The third participant in the concert service
is a violinist. Miller graduated from the Juil
Hard School of Music in New York but inter-
rupted his education by enlisting m the Navy.
He served as a flier from 1942 until 1346 He
then returned to Juilliard for his master's de-
gree in violin.
Miller has played as a member of the New
Orleans Symphony orchestra and the Wood-
stock, N.Y., String quartet, and has presented
solos throughout the Kast. During this time
he was also a member of Pierre Monteaux's
summer conducting class for two season*.
Symphony Violinist
A riative of Pennsylvania, Miller came to
North Texas in 1951. He has since appeared
as violin soloist, conductor, and chamlier mu-
sician. He has also appeared a* soloist with
several symphony orchestra*.
Other musicians will join these three a.s the
demand increase*, according to Dr. W alter
II Hodgson, dean of the School of Music.
Dr, Hodgson has sent a letter describing
the service arid the abilities of the musicians
to central agencies so that, they may be dis-
tributed to the organizations interested in
this type of entertainment. All tours will be
arranged through Dr. Hodgson, .trsd inquiries
should be addressed to him in care of the
School of Music.
"This place surely is dead" is u fre-
quent complaint of summer collet stu-
dents. But keeping up with what is of-
fered for entertainment during the
summer makes one wonder just which
i- "dead," the place or the students.
Kach week there is the Wednesday
night dance. Church groups on the
campus schedule activities lor almost
every night in the week. The speech
and drama department earlier in the
«ummer presented "Ihe Great Big
Doorstep." And then there are the
the swimming jhwI, tennis courts, and
golf course.
Hut perhaps the most active—and
neglected—group on the campus during
the summer is the School ot Music.
Such rganizations as the Opera Work-
shop. Symphony orchestra, and Sum-
mer Chorus feel that their evenings
have been a success if there are more
people viewing their performances than
participating in tht-m. And programs
presented by these groups are ignored
by students studying music as well as
by those in other fields.
Aug. 20 the Opera Workshop is pre-
senting Gilbert and Sullivan's "Trial by
Jury." a comic opera that should appeal
to a wide variety of students. By taking
advantage of such a program, collegians
can help relieve the oppression of these
"dead" months. -Frances Graves

The court-martial of Staff Sgt. Mat-

geant was ordered discharged in dis-
grace from the Corps and given nine
months' imprisonment for the April 8
"death march" that took the lives of
six marine recruits.
Marines and ex-marines all over the
world echoed the feelings expressed by

Now don't get me wrong. There's
really quite a lot to be said of summer
school if you'll watch your adjectives.
But il has suddenly occurred to me that
perhaps summer in Paris would have
been a little more up-to-date than vaca-
tioning in the library.
The time has come, it seems, to
travel quietJy, leisurely, and comfort-
ably on a modest $10,000 budget. These
packaged trips are just the thing to fit
into collegiate plans. There will be just
enough time to make one of these jaunts
anywhere you like before school starts
a^ain ([j- you begin your new job.
A Nl'MBER OF MAGAZINES this
summer have been quite helpful in pro-
viding information on how to save
time, money, and nerves while you are
enjoying your well-deserved vacation.
Such articles its "How to Effectively
I'lan Your $2'>00 Week End in the
Country," "Getting the Most From
Your African Cruise," and "Ten Steps
to Bankruptcy" are designed to inspire
a carefree vacation in the "American
way."
Now. if we look at this scientifically.
I'm sun- we can plan the vacation just
for you in no time at all. Immediately
after sleeping through your last class
Aug. 2.'5, you'll be ready to take off.
Your mind, free from worry over trivia,
will be completely rested and ready to
concentrate on edging the other vaca-
tionists off the roads.
THE FIRST THING you need to do
is explain to your considerate profs the
need for absolute freedom from worry
over finals and the necessity for time
to pack that might be uselessly spent
in studying. Most of them, you will
find, will no doubt eagerly offer their
services in helping you prepare for your
trip.
Then write Pater and request a slight
advance on next month's salary. A cou-
ple of hundred will probably get you
started in the preparations. Now you
are ready to begin.
YOUR PRIMARY CONCERN should,
of course, be your destination. What
will it be? Florida, New York, Canada,
Hong Kong, or Africa? Can't make up
your mind? In that case, the best thing
to do is buy clothes suitable for a va-
riety of places, so that you won't have
to decide till the last minute.
And since the right clothes are al-
ways very important in having a good
♦ ime on your vacation, you probably had
better not depend on your roommate's
wardrobe this time. But don't worry
about getting something you may not
use this summer; there'll always be two
week's next year.
SECURING RESERVATIONS would
be the next thing on the list. About
forty different places will probably take
care of you sufficiently.
It's always possible, of course, to se-
cure the services of a travel agency to
plan your vacation if you find school
too demanding to take care of the de-
tails yourself. The agency will secure
reservations, provide transportation,
and select appropriate clothes all for a
nominal fee. Some agencies even offer
sales about this time of the year, with
prices just to fit the college pocketbook:
$1056.99 and up.
SO YOU SEE, it would really be
quite simple to wind up a perfect,
quiet, relaxing summer with a vacation
of your choice. With money and time
absolutely no problem, a simple little
week end in Switzerland can be planned
with no trouble at all. ,
If you don't mind, though, I think I'll
just take my $4.20 home with me and
spend a quiet vacation sleeping.
tiale<i the drill instructor.
In li>.rht of General Puller's testimony
and the testimony of Gen. Randolph
Mc< Pate, commandant of the Marine
Corps, the stiff sentence came as a com-
plete surprise to the defense and to
servicemen in the Navy, Army, and
Air Force alike.
Word of the stiff sentence produced
bitter reactions at the Parris Island
Marine bast "I've got 16 years in this
Marine Corps," sj,jd one technical ser-
geant. "but as soon as my tour of duty
is over. I'm through. I will go out and
pick up cigarette butts for a living be-
fore I re-enlist."
McKeon's sentence is not necessarily
final. It will be automatically reviewed
by the Navy department and, if not
reduced there, may be appealed.
A master sergeant with 14 years'
service said of this, the most contro-
versial court-martial in the 180-year
history of the .Marine Corps: "If the
sentence was given to satisfy a few
politicians, knowing that the secretary
of Navy will reduce it, then it's all
right. If it was given with the idea that
it will stick, then McKeon's being made
the goat."
If this last statement is true, then
here's one ex-marine who salutes the
"goat" for doing his best at a difficult
job—teaching Marine Corps discipline
to unruly boots fresh from civilian life.

Staff Sgt. Matthew C. McKeon, lead-

that cost the lives of six Marine re-
cruits, was cleared Friday night of man-
slaughter charges.
Instead, the 31-year-old drili instruc-
tor was found guilty of simple homi-
cide, which is punishable by a maxi-
mum of a year in prison. McKeon was
also found guilty of drinking on duty,
a violation of a general order punish-
able by a maximum of two years in
prison and a dishonorable discharge.
One statement echoed by several can-
didates was "I am against federal aid
to education." On the face of it, this
looks like a sincere attempt to allow
state officials to control the Texas pub-
lic school system rather than to let fed-
eral authorities do so.
The chances are that such candidates
had the support of the larger industries
of the state such as oil, gas, and sul-
phur. For if schools are financed in part
by the federal government, these huge
industries would have to bear a larger
burden of taxation. On the other hand,
if the state controls and finances the
public schools, it will be cheaper for

these same industries to support only
the schools of Texas.
For a number of years, while Texas
had complete charge of the state public
school system, its educational facilities
consistently ranked in the bottom 50
per cent of all states in the entire na-
tion. And there is still great room for
improvement—and a great need for it.
Another favorite technique used by
almost every politician is a device which
propagandists call the "glittering gen-
erality." Candidates using this tech-
nique quote platitudes that have no di-
rect bearing on the election issues hut
sound impressive to the voters.
Samples of these might be: "I stand
for honesty and integrity in govern-
ment," or "Mv platform is the Golden
Rule.' Obviously, this is the most pop-
ular device in any campaign.
Politics and campaigns have reached
the level where it is almost impossible
for the average citizen to draw a con-
clusive answer to his questions from
any campaign speech. The vast major-
ity of politicians are afraid to take a
definite stand on anv issue for fear
they might alienate a block of voters.
If the current trend continues, citi-
zens may soon elect an official on
the manner in which he dres«*>u, how
good a speaker he is. or how well he
wears his television makeup. A voter
sees only a caricature of a candidate
at present His opponents point out all
faults, real and imaginarv, while his
supporters enlarge on his real and
imaginary virtues. Surely the public
needs to see the true picture that lies
somewhere between. —Dub Brown
