Missing' Student Pens Biting Note
Joe Saltzman
Editor of the Summer Trojan USC, California
To the Students attending Summer School at SC:
The Summer Trojan Editor Joe Saltzman has made a college newspaper into a radical, almost Communistic, piece of propaganda. By giving his fourth page to the notorious “Lady Chatterley’s Lover/’ Mr. Saltzman has taken it upon himself to condemn the righteous Postmaster General and congratulate the filthy publishing firm of Grove Press.
With this obvious attempt at sensationalism, Mr. Saltz-tnan has underminded the country’s post office, has agreed with a lustful and money-hungry publishing firm, and has used the University newspaper to praise a pornographic piece of trash by a terrible British author.
You, Mr. Saltzman, should not be allowed to hold any office of responsibility—let alone that of an editor. I hope that University officials will rectify their mistake in appointing you and take measures—even drastic censorshp —to curb your lustful newspaper techniques.
Dan Jennings SC Postsession Studentt (Editor’s Note: The Summer Trojan, seeking to give a voice to any student on campus who agrees or disagrees with the newspaper’s editorial policy, is printing Dan Jenning’s letter. However, the editors wish to point out, that after extensive research through University records, no student by the name of Dan Jennings can be found.
The editors also wish to emphasize the fact that the editorial page was entirely the opinion of the editors and do not reflect any of the opinions or decisions of the University.)

THE LITERARY LAB
By JOE SALTZMAN Summer Trojan Editor
In an era of atomic bombs, space-soaring satellites and cold-absorbing wrars, I often wonder just what effect all of this will have on the literature being produced in our age.
We have certainly seen its impact on science-fictionalized accounts of adventures and personalities, but what I am primarily concerned with, is this mechanized uncontrolled world’s effect on our lasting literature — our permanent contribution to the field of world literature.
While taking a course in short story writing during SC’s summer school (Harry B. Reed’s 8-9:20 M-F class), I watched the development of many ideas and opinions, all being formulated into short stories of various successful degrees.
Two of these short stories especially interested me. They did so, not because of their superior short stories. They deal with problems w’hich are real and vital; they adopt these problems through fictionalized accounts of adventures and personalities and writing skill:—although, as the reader will find out, they are very well written—but because of their subject matter.
One, “Exist,” concerned na-
tional politics and affairs; the other, “The Discovery” receives its thematic content from the segregation issues evident in the South.
Both illustrate one important fact: modern writers seeking some way to express their motions, ideas and opinions, will seek to exploit some current event, some interesting phenomena of our times, some problem of our era. Whether it be world affairs or segregation issues, the writer of today will be influenced and dominated—as writers have throughout the ages — by what happens around them.
I believe that both of these stories (see page 4) are typical examples of the “new” modern they finally come up with a reflection of our times, a reflection of our world.
For this purpose alone, they are valuable contributions to the current crop of New World Writings and are presented in their initial publication in the Summer Trojan.

The two students who contributed the original short stories are Joan Tewkesbury, 23-year-old SC senior, and William Jones, 21-year-old junior.
A dance major, Joan plans to j teach on a university level, possibly in the east, and has had
a varied background in dance and choreography, “although I have a keen interest in writing," she said.
She has been a dancer in “Peter Pan” here and in New York and was the flying understudy to Mary Martin in that same production. “I taught dance one year at Mt. San Antonio College anc have been at SC for a year and a half,” she said.
Her story, dealing with segregation, is an unusual one and is printed in its entirety beginning on page 1.
Bill graduated from Wilson High School in Los Angeles and spent the 1958 summer at the National University of Mexico in Mexico City. He is now majoring in Telecommunications (he is a former English major) because “I am interested in upgrading the tragic state of television in the U.S.”
He writes to “develop self-expression” and his story, on in which a strange visitor is troubled by our modern international times, is printed on page 4.
THE DISCOVERY
BY JOAN TEWKESBURY
As they walked along, the moss from the trees sheltered them from the sun, and Washington led the way in case there were any snakes. Jesse mashed red ants writh her big toe; this was a trick Roosevelt had taught her, and the other Lincoln boys brought up the rear making sure that Abe Jr. wouldn’t change his mind at the last minute. As they crossed the log bridge over the “Brown Stream,” they counted eleven catfish all clustered to-
gether in the shade. Roosevelt wanted to stop and catch them, but now even Abe Jr. was eager to reach their playground so they went on, leaving the fish in peace.
“Here we is!” shouted Washington. And there before them stood the big old iron gate with the sign that said “Negro Baptist Burial Grounds.” They pushed it open and walked in. The plot of ground wasn’t very big and all around it stood the mossy trees. There weren’t any
trees in the cemetery part so the sun shone with unobstructed brightness on this one little part of swamp land. The rows weren’t too orderly, but each grave had a big stone on it, even though most of the stones had cracked from the weather. A brilliant green moss grew in the cracks of the stones and it looked like the veins in your arm. The grass here was a yellow-green, what there was of it, and Jesse thought the whole thing looked (Continued on Page 4)
