Week just past has witnessed
several rather remarkable* events
which point up a familiar paradox
of our student society: the effi-
ciency of our student government
as contrasted with the compla-
cency of our student body.
Last Tuesday morning, in the
spirit of Project '64, the Student
Senate attempted to bring the
workings of the government down
to the "grass roots" level, and to
hear first-hand the complaints and
concerns of the individual student.
We should have known better.
There were about three intelli-
gent questions raised: one by a
Senator (the Christmas holiday
problem); one by. the TXWECO
Editor (Student Center improve-
ments) ; and one by the Student
Association Vice-President (library
should remain open during as-
sembly).
The result of this meeting was
the swift and effective action by
the Project '€4 committee in ne-
gotiating with Dr. Cox to change
the holiday dates, which he did
gladly. The other questions have
been and are being worked on
by the Senate under the auspices
of Project '64.
Tuesday evening saw one of the
most widely-read and most-respect-
ed anthropologists in the world
address a sparse, though enthusi-
astic, crowd of faculty members,
towns people, And a handful of
students, on a most enlightening
and provocative topic. The lack of
student interest, was despite -the
fact that Dr. Montague's appear-
ance was secured through the use
of student funds.,

planned, well-publicized, well-pre-

Anthropologist Criticizes
Myth Concept of Truth
"We believe in myths because
they are easier to live by than
truths," declared anthropologist
Dr. Ashley Montague last Tuesday
night in the fine arts auditorium.
The myth was described as some-
thing we believe in as truth when
it is not — because it is more
comfortable and easier to believe
than to go to the trouble and con-
sequence ef learning the truth.
Dr. Montague was appearing as
the second performer of this year's
Celebrity Scries presentations,
sponsored by the Student Associa-
tion.
Addressing over 200 in his audi-
ence, the often-published author
urged humans to understand their
potentiality, the essence of love,
and to co-operate with other hu-
man beings.
He described the American myth
of the family as a disaster. "The
family is a disaster of beings.
\V*fty? It is an organ for making
ego maniacs. Everyone has to make
a success of himself. And to be a

His- view on education seemed
to coincide with the individual's
idea of success. The man in the
grey suit with brown shoes said,
"We have to love, co-operate, con-
tribute, and these studies are what
we are born for, otherwise, we are
failures as humans and will ex-
terminate ourselves.
Man learns more than other
creatures but you get more con-
fusion, good and bad, explained Dr.
Montague. One of his closing
quotes came from Emerson,
"Things are in the saddle and they
drive mankind."
There ^Hll be some 80 voices in

APO Stages
In Assembly Toda
In this mo cm rig's assembly, Al-
pha Psi Omega, national honorary
drama fraternity, presented a
"Christmas Drama, "The Vision" by
L,William Grandgeorge.
This was the story of a poor
humble cobbler who had a vision
that Christ would visit his shop.
All day he worked and prepared
for this which did not "visibly"
take place However, by the visita-
tions of other people we wonder if
perhaps he was not there, though
not seen.
Splendid performances were
done by Silas Hughes as Hans, the
Cobbler; Lewis March banks as
Bruno; Jack Guthrie as Karl; Sar-
gent Hill as Helmut; Don Payne as
Hermann; Linda Heaton as Mrs.
Dannewitz; Susie Ford as Mrs.
Schenkel and Linda Griffin as
