SINCE THE EDITOR of the Summer News can’t type, George Tirebiter II kindly consented to pound the keys for the last editorial for the summer.
*- So Long, Trojans!
This issue is the last for the Summer News, 1953 edition. We’ve had 17 chances to get together and ihope that all 17 of them were successful.
Many important news events, both local and national, have taken place during the past 10 weeks. Two of the biggest that stand out in our mind are the announcement of credit courses via television to start next month, and the signing of the Korean truce.
Both of these may directly, or indirectly, effect our lives. Bringing the classroom into the home may change the future educational pattern. SC’s Frank Baxter will give countless thousands a new outlook on what a college classroom is like and especially on how interesting an old subject—Shakespeare—can be.
The truce in Korea may stop the fighting, but it won’t stop the drafting. Draft calls will remain the same and officials say that by next July the quota wMl be doubled. President Eisenhower has called for the tightening of draft loopholes, especially college deferred students. Many students are already feeling the new “hard” policy.
But for those who leave there will be others returning. GI’s whose appetite for .learning has been whetted after viewing the futility of war and the reality of death. Only in education and understanding can we hope to overcome the grisliness of war.
All the stories haven’t been as important and newsworthy at the two mentioned above. Many of tihem were routine. Hundreds of these routine, yet informative and interesting, stories wer« prepared by the SC News Bureau.
The Summer News is indebted to Franklin S. Skeele, Willis S. Duniway, and Aleene Barnes, who comprise the bureau, for their cooperation and help in covering the many news outlets which the University has.
We would also like to thank staffers George Lasez-kay, Dee Caruso, Norm Nager, and Roy Page for their hard work and contributions to tihe SN.
But, most of all, we would Jike to thank you, the students, who both made and read the news. A 10-weeks course isn’t too long, but we hope that it was long enough for you to capture a little bit of the Trojan spirit and the meaning of the school and motto, “Let Him Bear The Palm Who Merits It.”
So long, Trojans.
