There was a rumor on the campus last week to
the effect that pay phone calls would be raised from
a nickel to a dime. This is more than most of the
students on this campus can afford to pay.
In this writer's opinion the fact that the dormitor-
ies have to use pay phones at all is unusual in 'tse'T.
Are pay phones really necessary in the dorms?
In fact it would be more convenient for all concerned
if regu'ar phones were installed. The only drawback
as fas as this writer can see is the fact that a record
of long distance phone calls would have to be made,
"and that wouldn't really be a problem. The phones
could be paid for by charging each member of the
dormitory less than fifteen cents a month. Long dis-
tance tariffs could be paid to the monitor, who would
rhen pay the phone bill at the end of the month.
This arrangement would be more satisfactory than
the present one in which you must have a nickel or
you can't make a phone-call even if it's an emergency.
So why don't we get rid of the pay phones?—Alton
Cedervall. ■
"The classes that had most to lose contributed the
most suicides," -said Dr. Peter Sainsbury in a pamph-
let, "Suicide in London." The pamphlet contains the
author's analysis of suicides in the 28 boroughs and
the City of London.
The study which covers three periods (1919-23),
(1929-33), and[(1940-44), reveals the fact each bo-
rough, especially those with high suicide rates, fol-
lows a fairly consistent pattern. Dr. Sainsbury came
up with these conclusions. Suicides in the first fif-
teen years of> life '^re rare. The ra+e of trfole sui-
cides in "London is twice that of the female.
surprising fact is that the number of suicidesjn^pat^J
erty-stricken neighborhoods is less than in tTie more
prosperous classes. The proportion of suicides
among those living alone was much greater than
among those living in even overcrowded quarters.
Londoners who belong .to the "classes and occupa-
tions least subject to the commorf3mores" were readi-
est to do away with themselves. Sainsbury contrasts
the 'Neighborly and cordial atmosphere in' many of
London's poor districts" with "the cold formality of
South Kensington and other more prosperous areas,"
as being responsible for the high rate of suicides in
the wealthy group.
The principal reason for the study was to provide
definite data on which a practical pro<ftam of mental
hygiene might be based. Perhaps the reason for less
suicides among the poorer class than among the
wealthy is that poor people are more inclined to place
their faith in Christ as a Savior. Material possessions
sometimes blind people to<Hieir spiritual needs. Spiri-
tual needs, which are -greater than physical needs,
cannot be satisfied by material supplies.
Those who have truly found Christ have spiritual
peace. Christ said "Let not your heart be troubled;
ye believe in God, believe also in me." He con-
tinued, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto
you." It is important to note here that He added,
"not as the world giveth, give I unto you." — Henry
Calhoun.

Students Use Philosophy,
As Tools for Successful
Religion
A major portion of Texas Wes-
leyan College students come in
contact with the division of phil-
osophy at some time during theiit..
college career. 1 The purpose of
this division is to prepare the stu-
dent for successful living; philos-
ophy and religkm are the tools
used.
The four three-hour philosophy
courses are designed to fill the
requirements of jDre-ministerial
students who will do further study
in seminaries; The courses are
popujar, however, with many of
the other students, who wish to
improve their reasoning abilities.
The' purpose of philosophy is, to
Stimulate thinking. Two themep
are kept In mind throughout th
studies. They are' "freedom ot,
thought is great; correction of
thought is greater," and "what
you cannot clearly say, that you
do not know." „ ,
Philosophy £s the apex of the
sciences. It incorporates all sci-
ences and surpasses them by ad-
ding reason based upon their con-
clusions. Philosophy seeks to

Russia will rewrite its history books to admit that
mistakes and failures have occurred, a Soviet histo-
rian said. Stalin's "Short Course History of thKU. S.
S. R.," now condemned by Russian leaders, will be
replaced by a book giving "unembellished facts."
Russia's writers are to stop interpreting history in
a way which divides people into "heroes and masses."
The one-man rule of the late Premier Stalj/i has been
under unprecedented attack by Russia's top leaders.
Spearheading the critics, Communist party secretary
Nikita Khrushchev told the 20th Communist party
congress that Russia does not need a "czar or miracle-
working hero."
The I 500 officials of Soviet and world commun-
ism also heard Premier Nikolai Bulganln and Foreign
Minister B. M^Molotov speak out against the "cult of
the individual."

In Henry IV, Part II, two minor
characters are introduced and dis-
tinctly portrayed in harmony with
the story as a whole. These two
minor characters, Shallow and Si-
lence, are country justices. They
make their first appearance in the
play in Act III, Scene II, where
Shallow is re-living his past with
his cousin, Silence, as they wait
the arrival of Falstaff. With thenH
are a few possible recruits for
Falstaff's company of soldiers.
Shallow, a wealthg^country jus-
tice, is the more outstanding of
the two. He is a braggart, liar,
and a rogue. As one listens to
Shallow's account of past days, he
is given the impression that Shal-
low was a well kpown "rounder"
in his youth. He recounts inci-
dents of youthful escapades which
in the light of his present position
as a country justice seem hardly
logical. He boasts of past sins
which he has never committed and
seems to tell certain trite lies from
force of habit.
But lower even in character
than Shallow is his'cousin, Silence.
Without the exciting aid of alco-
holic beverages, Silence is a man
of insipid dullness. Yet, even worse
than this, when he is drunk or
tipsy, he is unbearably foolish. In
Act V, Scene III, a party is being
held in Shallow's orchard. Silence
is in the singing stage of drunken-
ness and is full of drunken wit.
While sober Silence is merely a

Golden
Shears
JOHN
GARZA-
This week's Golden Shears was
presented to John Garza, a junior
English major from Hillsboro.
John graduated from Ilirisbaro
High School in 1953. An active
student in high school, he partici-
pated in football, had a part in
both the junior and senior plays,
and at graduation was presented
the honor of Rotary Boy.
He entered TWC in the fall of
1953 and became active in the
Methodist Student Movement, II-
v WBBM ]

lotus Duodecim, ,Chi Rho, and the
Student Ministerial Association.
Music, drawing, reading, and
carpeting are several of John's
interests.
Recipient Garza has done much
work with boys' groups. His fresh-
man year he worked for the YMCA
with boys from the ages of eight
to twelve, and that summer he
worked at Camp Carter with boys
of the same apes. Wesleyan Com-
munity House employed him his
sophomore year as assistant boys'
worker, and the first of his junior
year he worked for them as full
time boys' worker.
John was born In Hillsboro
where his famil^js now residing.
the present scene, Silence has fal-
len into a drunken stupor and has
to.be carried off to bed.
The wit of Falstaff takes on a
new sparkle and brilliance when
se n beside the pedantic humor
of the justice. When Shallow
meets Falstaff he is bubbling over
with the desire to please because
here is his grand and glorious op-
portunity to ride into fame and
fortune in the King's court—on
the^back 6f Falstaff by recalling
a past incident which he and Fal-
staff' participated in together. (Ill,
ii, 206-224.) Falstaff humors Shal-
low along ajjrl then proceeds with
his business.
On the other hand, Fafcfaff views
Shallow through the mercenary
eyes of a rogue out to take a
country justice for his monetary
advancement. At the end of Act
III, Scene II, Falstaff reveals his
true feelings concerning Justice
Shallow. In the latter part of Act
V, Scene I, Falstaff again makes
plain what he thinks of Shallow by
musing oyer how he is going to
make a-laughing stock of him.
Thus^ it is clear that Falstaff re-
gards Shallow as a stupid country
justice to be used only for his
money. Shallow is, in turn, a
country justice who is thinking
only of himself and in doinjjpVo is
completely fooled by Falstaff.
Each regards the other only as a
rung on his own personal ladder
of success.
In the end, however, the reader
has no doubt as to who will reach
the top of the ladder and who will
become the rung. In Act V, Scene
V. it. is revealed that Falstaff has
borrowed a thousand pounds from
Shallow and they are in a public
place awaiting the appearance of
the new king through whom Fal-
staff hopes to rise to glory. Shal-
low is hanging on his coattails, so
to speak, worried about the thous-
and pounds he has loaned Falstaff,
but feeling that he is also near
fame and fortune through his as-
sociation With Falstaff. When
Falstaff is rebuked, Shallow's
worst fears concerning his thous-
and pounds are realized and he
knows that he has been "taken
for a ride." But then, who can
grieve at last that this poor coun-
try fool should fall as a sure prey
