Letters Reveal Real Character Of Past Greats
Templeman Tells Readings Audience
By KE\ MONDSHINE
“The personal letters of great figures of history bring out the best of their greatness that is not on display,” Dr. William D. Templeman of the English department told the third weekly English Noon Readings audience yesterday.
"You and I and all people are eager to see and know great people,” Dr. Templeman continued, "allowing us to know' that awareness of greatness in someone else gives us a lift. It tends to bring out the best in us, giving to us that feeling that we ourselves can possibly do great things.”
Literary Letter
Dr. Templeman said that a great letter could be literary if I it fulfills four requirements. (1) A letter may be called literary
when the writer does the job impressionally well and when the tends to do. (2) It must have intellectual interest to an impressive degree. (3) It must appeal to our feelings impressive-lly and should have few trivial details. (Triviality seldom makes for greatness.)
Dr. Templeman emphasized these four points by reading four letters. The first letter he read was written by Gen. George Washington to Colonel Nicola on May 22, 1782. a period after the surrender of York town when the American colonies were on the brink of independence.
Xicola Letter
Colonel Nicola wrote a letter to Washington asking him to become king of the United States. General Washington replied. “no” to the proposal, showing clearly Washington's respect and admiration for the American cause with its newly formed democratic institutions.
The letter gives one the glimpses of Washington’s personality that wasn’t before the public's eye.
Lincoln Writes
The second letter was one that Abraham Lincoln wrote to his step-brother, John Johnson, who in 1848, was asking for a loan.
Lincoln, in his typical home-spun manner, gives him a reserved no, telling him to work for it, -giving the reader a perfect example of the wit and humor that he showed in the White House in the later years.
Dr. Templeman's third example was written in 1759 from Lord Chesterfield to his 18-year-old son. telling him that he is to call upon two excellent and important people who would help him develop the opportunities for friendship and personal improvement.
Wit and Spice
This letter is an example of the wit and spice that came out of the 18th Century, he said.
The last letter was written by Charles Dickens to his wife on the death of their baby daughter in 1851. It said that she must remember her obligations to the living and fulfill them bravely and well. The letter gives the reader a glimpse of sincere and compassionate
ADLAI PROMISES QUICK END TO H-BOMB TESTS
CHICAGO— (UP)— Adlal E. Stevenson said las: night that if he is elected President the first order of his official business will he to attempt “by conference or hy consultation —at whatever level—at whatever place" to work out an agreement with the Soviet Union and Great Britain to halt hydrogen bomb tests.
The Democratic presidential candidate said it was “imperative that a world policy of stopping these tests he established at the very first possible moment.”
He pointed out to a nationwide television and radio audi-‘enec that he proposed last April that the United States take the initiative by announcing its willingness to stop the H-bomb tests.
Stevenson at that time also suggested that this country call on other nations to follow the American lead, specifying that unless other nations altered their tests, this country would have to resume its experiments.
“Since that time,” Stevenson said in a definitive, detailed outline of his position, which is under attack by the Republicans, “both Russia and
Great Britain have declared their willingness to join us in trying to establish the kind of policy I have suggested.”
“What are we waiting for?” he asked.
Stevenson stated his post-election aims with a preface that it seemed to him “we should lose no more time in starting to make the most of what appears to be a better climate for progress in this field.
“Therefore, if elected president I would count it the first order of business to follow up on the opportunity presented now by the other atomic powers. I would do this by conference or by consultation— at whatever level—at whatever place—the circumstances might suggest would be most fruitful.”

(Editor’s Note: This is a second in a series of articles dealing with the Idyllw ild Conference.)
The noise and hullabaloo of national elections retreated a few steps last weekend when student leaders and faculty members explored the university political scene.
The occasion for the retreat was the seventh annual Idyll-wild Conference held in the San Jacinto Mountains. Surrounded by tall pine trees. Idyllwild provided a clean, refreshing point of contact for a not-too-clean subject . . . campus elections.
Last year’s student elections i drew sharp criticism from both faculty and students. Since the election resulted in mass violations of rules and littered the campus with thousands of handbills, the panelists felt that more rigid control should be enforced.
Limit Campaigning
The most concrete suggestion was a recommendation to limit the poster and handbill campaigning to a three-dpy period preceding the actual election.
Recommendations were made to limit the number of posters per candidate. Although an exact number was not determined, most panelists felt that 20 or 30 posters would be adequate if they were not stolen or destroyed.
The group decided these posters should be placed in specified areas . . . probably the islands on University Ave. Some panelists disputed this point and said that candidates should be allowed to use their ingenuity and place the posters where they would be most effective. Attack Laxness
Other recommendations included the elimination of all 1 blackboard campaigning togeth- j er w-ith the elimination of cam- ; paign literature within the class-1 rooms.
One panel attacKed the lack of control exercised during the last election. It criticized the haphazard method in which the Dean of Students office approved campaign literature. And they felt that when fines had been assessed they should not be reduced as .they were last semester.
Instead of campaign litera- j lure several students suggested j that opposing candidates should j conduct more public debates in order to attract student inter- j est. “This would be a less ex-!
pensive and a more mature method of conducting an election,” said one faculty member.
Good and Bad A few cheering words wTere given to the senators and their method of representing students. But some senators w-ere accused of not properly reflecting the wishes of constituents.
Some senators at the conference said they vote for the general good of the university while other senators admitted that they vote in a manner favorable for a specific organization.
The panelists showed little mercy for Senate meetings. Harsh words were spoken against the recent 50 cent price increase leveled on the 1957 El Rodeo. “Many students felt that the price increase should have been postponed for a week in order to allow senators to gather student sentiment,” explained one delegate.
Familiar Senators Some panels suggested that future agendas of coming Senate meetings should be published a week in advance of the meeting so students and senators would be familiar with the issues to be discussed.
The panels also discussed the campus political parties and agreed that they contribute to school spirit. Rather than destroying spirit, conference members said that a party focuses attention on many problems and requires the participation of students who might not otherwise take part in school activities.
More Parties But some faculty members termed political parties “a mere mechanism to elect a candidate.” They indicated that the basic difficulty was a lack of a continuing and well-defined policy within the party itself.
Minor attention was turned on the existence of more than one major party on campus. The conference endorsed the creation of more political parties, and several members said that TNE should not be outlawed.
Television Program Seeks Acting Talent

BeginsTonight With Henry V
DKA to Screen Films in Founders
By LEONA GOLDSTEIN
Dramatic impact, tragedy, humor, and color are combined in Laurence Olivier’s film version of “Henry V,” a production far more spectacular than Shakespeare could ever have imagined.
Laurence Olivier, Robert Newton. and Leo Genn head the all-star cast in the British production of Shakespeare’s immortal play, to be screened tonight in Founder’s Hall.
“Henry V” is the first in a series of 12 World Cinema Classics to he presented jointly by the Department of Cinema and Delta Kappa Alpha, national honorary cinema fraternity.
Henry IV Follow-up
“Henry V” is a continuation of the historical events dramatized in Shakespeare’s preceding epic, “Henry IV.”
Following in the footsteps of
nis great-grandfather Edward
III, Henry is ambitious for military glory. He claims the throne of France during a period of great confusion in the country, brought about by a civil war between the Orleanists and the Burgundians.
Henry's preparations for an expedition to France are cut short when a plot against his life is discovered. When the three chief conspirators are caught and executed, Henry and his forces embark on an invasion. of the French.
After capturing Harfleur at the mouth of the Seine, Henry’s army attempts a landing at Calais, but is interrupted by the French army. Greatly reduced by sickness, his army fights the French against great odds at the Battle of Agincourt.
Gains Normandy Control
Though torced to return to England, Henry invades France again, two years later. He first captures Caen, and later Rouen, thereby establishing control of Normandy.
In a peace treaty signed with the Burgundians in France, Henry is allowed to become Regent of France for as long as the imbecile French king is alive. Thereafter he is to succeed as King of France, excluding the King’s eldest son, the Dauphin, from the throne. As stipulated in the peace treaty. Henry marries Katharine, the French King s daughter.
Cool King
“Henry V” has been described as Shakespeare's ideal king; he is brutal and ruthless, demands discipline in himself and in others, and has a great sense of personal responsibility. Above all, Henry is efficient and practical. both in his council and on the battlefield.
The highly applauded motion picture version of “Henry \ is scheduled to be shown twice, at 7:30 p.m. in 133 FH and at 8:30 p.m. in 129 FH. Admission tickets to “Henry V” and the remaining films in the series are available in the Film Classics booth outside the Student Union and will be sold at the performance. Season tickets only may be purchased; no single admissions can be obtained.

Students Seized
Last July 13. seven anti-red Hungarian students seized a plane and flew to a West German airfield after a fight which injured all 19 persons aboard. But today two secret police officers hidden among the passengers opened fire on the plotters before they could overpower the crew.
An official announcement said the anti-Communists boarded the regular Budapest-Szonibath-ely-Zalaegerszeg airliner this morning as passengers. Shortly after takeoff, as the plane flew close to the Austrian border, the
shot faster, the announcement said.
One of the anti-Communists was killed, the announcement said, and the others were overpowered after two were seriously wounded. None of the other passengers or the police were injured. the announcement added.
A fifth member of the gang was arrested at Szombathely before the attempt, the announcement said. Evidence he gave to police led to the plainclothes-nicn being among the passengers.

Instead of campaign litera- j lure several students suggested j that opposing candidates should j conduct more public debates in order to attract student inter- j est. “This would be a less ex-! pensive and a more mature method of conducting an election,” said one faculty member. Good and Bad A few cheering words wTere given to the senators and their method of representing students. But some senators w-ere accused of not properly reflecting the wishes of constituents. Some senators at the conference said they vote for the general good of the university while other senators admitted that they vote in a manner favorable for a specific organization. The panelists showed little mercy for Senate meetings. Harsh words were spoken against the recent 50 cent price increase leveled on the 1957 El Rodeo. “Many students felt that the price increase should have been postponed for a week in order to allow senators to gather student sentiment,” explained one delegate. Familiar Senators Some panels suggested that future agendas of coming Senate meetings should be published a week in advance of the meeting so students and senators would be familiar with the issues to be discussed. The panels also discussed the campus political parties and agreed that they contribute to school spirit. Rather than destroying spirit, conference members said that a party focuses attention on many problems and requires the participation of students who might not otherwise take part in school activities. More Parties But some faculty members termed political parties “a mere mechanism to elect a candidate.” They indicated that the basic difficulty was a lack of a continuing and well-defined policy within the party itself. Minor attention was turned on the existence of more than one major party on campus. The conference endorsed the creation of more political parties, and several members said that TNE should not be outlawed. Television Program Seeks Acting Talent Six women and three men are needed to act in a local live television production. Those interested may contact Joe Egger and John Hollis at noon today in the conference room adjoining KUSC-TV office in AHF. “It Happened So Fast” is the production now being cast.

BeginsTonight With Henry V DKA to Screen Films in Founders By LEONA GOLDSTEIN Dramatic impact, tragedy, humor, and color are combined in Laurence Olivier’s film version of “Henry V,” a production far more spectacular than Shakespeare could ever have imagined. Laurence Olivier, Robert Newton. and Leo Genn head the all-star cast in the British production of Shakespeare’s immortal play, to be screened tonight in Founder’s Hall. “Henry V” is the first in a series of 12 World Cinema Classics to he presented jointly by the Department of Cinema and Delta Kappa Alpha, national honorary cinema fraternity. Henry IV Follow-up “Henry V” is a continuation of the historical events dramatized in Shakespeare’s preceding epic, “Henry IV.” Following in the footsteps of nis great-grandfather Edward III, Henry is ambitious for military glory. He claims the throne of France during a period of great confusion in the country, brought about by a civil war between the Orleanists and the Burgundians. Henry's preparations for an expedition to France are cut short when a plot against his life is discovered. When the three chief conspirators are caught and executed, Henry and his forces embark on an invasion. of the French. After capturing Harfleur at the mouth of the Seine, Henry’s army attempts a landing at Calais, but is interrupted by the French army. Greatly reduced by sickness, his army fights the French against great odds at the Battle of Agincourt. Gains Normandy Control Though torced to return to England, Henry invades France again, two years later. He first captures Caen, and later Rouen, thereby establishing control of Normandy. In a peace treaty signed with the Burgundians in France, Henry is allowed to become Regent of France for as long as the imbecile French king is alive. Thereafter he is to succeed as King of France, excluding the King’s eldest son, the Dauphin, from the throne. As stipulated in the peace treaty. Henry marries Katharine, the French King s daughter. Cool King “Henry V” has been described as Shakespeare's ideal king; he is brutal and ruthless, demands discipline in himself and in others, and has a great sense of personal responsibility. Above all, Henry is efficient and practical. both in his council and on the battlefield. The highly applauded motion picture version of “Henry \ is scheduled to be shown twice, at 7:30 p.m. in 133 FH and at 8:30 p.m. in 129 FH.

Students Seized Last July 13. seven anti-red Hungarian students seized a plane and flew to a West German airfield after a fight which injured all 19 persons aboard. But today two secret police officers hidden among the passengers opened fire on the plotters before they could overpower the crew. An official announcement said the anti-Communists boarded the regular Budapest-Szonibath-ely-Zalaegerszeg airliner this morning as passengers. Shortly after takeoff, as the plane flew close to the Austrian border, the shot faster, the announcement said. One of the anti-Communists was killed, the announcement said, and the others were overpowered after two were seriously wounded. None of the other passengers or the police were injured. the announcement added. A fifth member of the gang was arrested at Szombathely before the attempt, the announcement said. Evidence he gave to police led to the plainclothes-nicn being among the passengers.
