The power to vote—; ■ liberty entrusted to the American
people through the blood and suffering of millions of- Ameri-
cans in the pas^ World Wars, Civil War, and American Revo-
lution.
Why did t^ese(early Americans sacrifice their lives and
liberties for theJpnvilege of a free vote—in order that You
the American^Hiblie might carry on their traditions and ideas
in a free democracy. *
Yet, on a nation-wide basis, a tragic number of "vote-
slackers," as categorized in the twenty-one or over voting
bracket, refused to even walk around the corner to the nearest
voting poll to cast their vote. Why? Basically, it could be the
feeling that perhaps their vote was merely "a drop in the
bucket" as compared to the millions of other prospective
voters or perhaps even their own feelings against the un-
constitutional "poll tax." • 0
Whatever the national voter's reason may be for not
casting a vote, however, does not provide an adequate means
for the student voters of our campus ti) throw away their
vote in an air of indifference to campus elections.
The sickening thing about our "so-called* elections" is
that approximately a hundred to" a hundred and fifty stu-
dents control the entire' thinking of "the student body. The
number of ballots cast in our elections has ranged in
count from eighty-six to the over two hundred bracket.
To you, as the."vote-slacker," how does it feel to know
that you are merely a puppet controlled by a njinority of
"knowing" voters or will you even bother to consider this
factor in your little world of self-centeredness?

What is the logic; behind Mr. Kennedy's proposal that,
in the face of huge deficit of nearly nine billion in the current
fiscal year, Ve should increase spending, cut taxes, and bring
about nearly a $12 billion deficit in 1964 plus an indefinite
number of deficits thereafter?
Mr. Kennedy wants to. cure unemployment which is at-
tributed to "insufficient demand." Unemployment is to be
curqd by more government spending while lowering taxes*
We have entered tlie world of Alice in Wonderland, where
budgets, national debts and "existing" gold supplies are
meaningless.
Government relief jumped 170 per cent from 13 billion
to 38 billion between 1950 and 1961. Mr. Kennedy has called
for approximately 37,000 new employes, which does not in-
clude the 200,000 deserving Democj-ats added during his first
two years. Regardless of the fact that our federal government
is the biggest spender, biggest employer, biggest property
owner, biggest tenant, biggest insurer and lender, there are
those who want to make the government even bigger.
Besides playing with matches, Nero reduced the precious
metal content of the Roman coinage by 10 per cent and
pocketed the difference. Henry VIII had made an issued a
silver-plated shilling, bearing his likeness; when the plating
wore off, starting with a prominent feature, he was known as
Old' toppernose. This kind of counterfeiting is nil and
frowned upon. Now it seems to be legal and respectable.
It is no longer ..necessary to melt coins, just print them
so that we are 17 cents away from a "two-bit dollar." It is
within the power of the government to call 50 cents a dollar,
but no government has been able to make more than a
half-dollar's worth.
The "Heller-Kennedy spend-more and tax-less theory can
lead onlv toward fiscal and monetary chaos.

Fort Worth is growing bigger
and better all the time. It has been
announced lhat the Palace The-
atre will become a showcase for
widescreen, 70nim roadshow mo-
tion pictures. (No more jaunts to
Dallas to see a big movia). The
first attraction will be the much
talked about Cleopatra with Eliza-
beth Taylor. The opening is set
for June 20.
The Palace will be shut down
-jjrior. to the opening in"4 order to
install 1 hew projection equipment,
nt'.w /cr<jt;n (22x17 ft.), new lamps
in the booth, the additional speak-
ers, new rest room lounges," new
drapes and last, but not least, new
balcony seats. (That's quite a
large improvement, wouldn't you
say!) ,
This means that the Palace will
become what is known as a "hard
ticket house," with all seats re-
served. Tickets will go oil sale as
soon as the admission prices are
set.
The Fort Worth opening of
Cleopatra is just fourteen days af-
tei the world premier in New
York. The spectacle already has
the distinction of being the costli-
est picture ever made. If you nev-
er see another movie, see this one!
Two very important motion pic-
tures will arrive in justja few
weeks. The Academy Award bound
Mutiny on the Bounty is scheduled
for the Ridglea Theatre beginning
March 21. The epic stars Marlon
Brandon and Trevor Howard. Also,j
The Longest Day is set for a lim-S
ited run at the Worth Theatre;
starting March 29. This show has
so many big-name stars that some
even get killed before they've had
time to smile. (These are two film
examples of movies that have been
run in Dallas before Fort Worth
received them.
What will "poor" Dallas do
without the financial aid of Fort
Worth after June 20, since we are
Dallas' biggest customer! It's just
terrible).
All the downtown theatres are
still going strong with Days of
Wine and Roses at the Hollywood,
To Kill a Mockingbird at the
Worth, Divorce—Italian Style at
the Palace, and David and Lisa
at the ..7tlj._ Street. All display
Academy Award nominations.
The live theatre also offers a
handsome array this week. The
Music Man will continue at the
Fine .Arts Auditorium this Friday
and Saturday. The TCU Little
Theatre offers The Dog in the
Manger on March 13-10. Rumpel-
stiltskin will be performed at Casa
Manana this Friday night and
Saturday morning.
In closing: Congratulations to
Joy Garrett on being named one
of the twelve finalists in the ""MisS"
Fort Worth" contest. Joy, a senior
at Carter-Riverside High School,
will attend TWC in the fall.

Speech Head To Go
To Dallas Meeting
Mason J o h n s o n, head of the
speech-drama department, will not
have the time to take even a
breather between the end of "The
Music Man" and other activities.
He will be attending the Texas
Theater Conference in Dallas at %
Statler Hotel Friday and Satur-
day.
