THE POINTER
Would He Stay?
Today we celebrate the birthday of one of the great men
In the history of the world. His contributions to our country in its infancy surpass any monetary value which could
be placed on them. Although a man of wealth and position,
he dedicated his life to creating an ideal for all generations
of Americans to follow.
·. Today as we look around us and see the Robert Welches
and John Birches, the various hate groups who prey on the
minority segments of our population, the political grafters
and the labor racketeers who make a parasitical existence
on the very foundations erected by the Father of our country some 180 years ago, it seems as though there is a need
for many modern George Washingtons who can rise above
the materialism of the times and dedicate their lives to a
furtherance of the principles upon which this country was
established.
It appears that there is also a need for some of his qualities on this campus. The general apathy of the student body
for anything that demands a deviation of time away from
their social life is certainly one aspect that would apall
George Washington. Another would be the intellectual dishonesty which exists on campus, partly on the part of students and partly on the part of "others" plus the psuedoJntellectuals who present an outer coat of superfical knowle<}ge but contain a hollow inner core of learning. Lastly, he
would probably be thoroughly disgusted with a student body
who show so little interest in the maintainence of a lively
press. At· present, the attitudes of most of the students towards their paper is certainly indicative of their apathy
towards everything else. As before, this still remains as a
campus of sheep who wander aimlessly about, dedicated
mainly to joining a fraternity or sorority or else to partying
at Rudy's and Joe's.
. George Washington wou1d certainly not stay long at CSC
If he were to return to life.
Love Your Brother
This is a time that has been set aside for the furtherance
of something that should be commonplace in all our lives
Although this week has been designated as "Brotherhood
Week," this situation should exist everyday of ·our lives. All
men, regardless of color, nationality, creed or social and
economic status, are brothers in humanity and any conception of life that fails to realize this is at opposite ends with
morality as it is expressed by Christians. ·
However, it appears that there will be many struggles
between men before there is true brotherhood in the world.
There is strife in various parts of the world which are directly a contradiction of the concept of man's love for his
fellowman and as always, man's greatest sin is man's inhumanity to man. Suspicion in regard to the worth of another .because of his creed or national background and especially because of the color of his skin abounds in America, "the land of the free." There is economic and social
persecution that tears at the foundations of our ways of
life and threatens to send our civilization downward to oblivion. Perhaps there is a need for "Brotherhood Week,"
because in this way, man might finally realize that all men
were created by one God to be brothers and that the prac:
tising of this value might eventually bring harmony to a
very disharmonious world.

the Man, George Washington the
American? America is a land of
myth-m a k e r s. Sometimes the
myths are imaginary; sometimes
they evolve from the lives of
actual fles~-and·blood humans
like ourselves.
Often these real·life heroes of
American history become glorified - almost deified - in our
minds. Here is where we lose
contact with the greatness of our
country and the greatness of the
men it has produced. George
Washington can be to us mere
words on the written page - or
he can represent to us in our
hearts and minds the spirit of
our free, enterprising, and rugged land. Many men in the history of our country have done
great things for which they will
long be remembered. Let us
honor them not as saints whose
excellence far exceeds our own.
Let us honor them not as myths'
of an America which no longer
exists. Rather let us remember
them as men - outstanding and
more capable then we might ever
hope to be perhaps - but nevertheless real men!

.Recently I came across what
seems an almost paradoxical
statement: "No man can enjoy
happiness without thinking he
enjoys it." Have you ever undergone an experience that at the
time seemed anything but enjoyable? You could hardly wait
until it was over? Then later you
realized that the task had not
really been so taxing. In fact
with the right attitude, you could
have gotten a lot more out of
it - in happiness, satisfacti~n
perhaps, and enjoyment. The
positive attitude, the "cock-eyed
optimist" outlook, can help us
enjoy a fuller, more happy life.

Minn. YAF Leader Answers
Mr. Davis, CSC's YGOP Head
To The Editor:
Bob Davis' recent letter to The
Pointer analyzing my speech on
"Liberalism and American Foreign Policy" is an interesting
specimen of the Liberal mind in
action. Notwithstanding his
claim, ,to the mantle of conserva·
tism, Mr. Davis is a Liberal and
his- failure to recognize his own
orientation is the index of the
degree to which he is out of
touch with the times. (One can
certainly understand why he
shou1d wish to dissociate himself
from Liberalism - look at the
world it has built.)
His letter reveals that a syllogism in the hands of Mr. Davis
is like a razor in the hands of a
baby. He is totally unable to cope
with reality and with the laws
of logical necessity. A short quotation from Mr. Davis will serve
to elucidate this proposition:
". • • one of America's fre·
most conservatives, Sen.. Robert
Taft, was also one of the strongest supporters of the U.N. If a
responsible conservative favored
such a cause, and if Mr. Greenagel is disenchanted with this
cause, is he really a conserva·
tive?"
He- goes on to answer his rhetorical question with an emphatic "No!" I suggest that if the
implicit premises in Mr. Davis'
argument were stated, the result
would be the following syllogism
(an enthymematic sorites):
Premise A: Responsible conservatlves support the U.N.
Premise B: John Greenagel
does not support the U.N.
Premise C: John Greenagel Is
not a responsible conservative.
Premise D: Conservatives who
are not responsible conservatives
are not really conservatives, i.e.,
all conservatives are responsible.
Conclusion: John Greenagel Is
not a. conservative.
Now, surely Mr. Davis does
not mean what his logic says or
he will find himself placed in
anomalous positions. For example, Mr. Davis would have to re·
sort to downright·casuistry to ex·
plain Robert Welch. Is Mr.
Welch not a conservative? If not,
what is he? If he is a conservative, is he resJ>onsible? If not,
then he's not a conservative and
here we go again. And how
would you explain such men as
Barry Goldwater, William F.
Buckley, Jr., Russell Kirk, or any
other distinguished conservatives
who have voiced doubts about
"the last, best hope of man·
kind?" Since they do not support
the U.N., they are not conserva·
tives. What are they, if not con·
servatives?
Mr. Davis errs in attributing
Is Campus Freedom Dead?
Campus freedom of the pressis it dead? Here is some evidence

rifying enough. Only the most
dedicated masoc~ist could stand

Mr. Davis correctly points -out
that I did not mention one item
of the Liberal ideology which I
considered worthwhile. Certainly
Liberals believe some things that
are worthwhile, but these are
premises shared with conservatives and therefore are not distinctly Liberal. Had Mr. Davis
been a little mo:t;e perceptive he
would "have noted that my speech
was confined to Liberalism and
American foreign policy and
there is nothing worthwhile in
the Liberal foreign policy. (The
new frontier in Laos - have you
noticed? - is several hundred
miles closer to the United States
than the old one.)
And finally Mr. Davis decries
"radicalism." The meaning of the
term "radical" is, of course, noth·
ing more than "going to the center, ·foundation, or source of
something." Radical conserva·
tives, Jike myself, are m~rely

his own failure to ,respond effectively to the generic needs of our

Dear Editor:
The American College Poetry
Society is pleased to announce
that its fifth semesterly anthology of outstanding college poetry
is now being compiled for publication in May, 1962. We would
be very grateful if you would
again alert the interested students on your campus to this
opportunity to have their work
published.
Contributions must be the original work of the student (who
shall retain literary rights ·to the
material), submitted to the undersigned, care of the society, with
the entrant's name, address, and
school on each page. Poems,
which may reflect any subject,
should not exceed 48 lines, nor
may any individual submit more
than five poems. Entries that
are not accepted for publication
will b~ returned if accompanied
by a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The Society, this year,
will offer Recognition Awards
of Five Dollars each, to the five
outstanding college poets. The
poems cannot be otherwise acknowledged, nor can the Society
compensate students for the work
that is published. All entries
must be postmarked not later
than Thursday, A,pril 12, 1962, to
be considered; decisions of the
Society judges are, of necessity,
final.
We are sincerely appreciative
of your past and present cooperation, without which our younger poets could not have received
the attention and acclamation
that they have through previous
anthologies.
Yours truly,

Profile
Joan Dahl
Music, music, mus1c, and more
Jnusic.
That pretty weli sums up the
Joan Dahl personality. Joan is
very music minded.
This can be shown partially by
all her participation in musical
organizations at Hurley High
School, Hurley, Wisconsin. She
sang in the choir, she was their
accompanist, she played clarinet
and, jokingly admits, the tuba in
band, she played many solos and
·ensembles, accompanied many
-others, and she attended all the
festivals. In her church she was
assistant director of the choir.
The rest ·c an be shown by her
two years at the University of
Wiscon's in and her final two
years at CSC. At the . University
Joan was in Women's Chorus,
~as song leader of the dorm,
was assistant choir director at
church, belonged to Sigma Alpha Iota (a national honorary
music sorority) and was the
chairman of the Greek Organization for the Tournament of Song.
Catch your breath - here's
her CSC music standing. She is
a member of Alpha Kappa Rho
(local honorary music fraternity), assistant director of the
College Choir, played in several
operas and is junior choir directoc at the Presbyterian Church.
Just a few other things she is
accredited with while attending
schooL at Hurley High were
Latin and French Clubs, Forensics, National Honor Society,
Student Council, Youth Council,
Pep Club, senior and junior class
plays and the annual staff. Even
though these took up much of
her time, Joan maintained a
grade average to rank her third
in her 1958 graduating class.
Now for a few more non-music
activities at Central State. She

an Alpha Sig, a member of Intervarsity and also the Young

Wouldn't you know - there
is more! Joanie got high school
honor award to the University
· of Wisconsin, the Aaron Music
Award, and a Golden Key from
Northland College (a scholarship), if she chose to attend
there upon graduating. This
year to top the list she received
the Elizabeth Bird Small national award for scholarship and
leadership.
When and if Joan finds a
minute or two each day, she attends classes and does practice
teaching. She will soon be packing her bags and moving to Antigo for more practice teaching
on the secondary level.
She likes reading, travelling,
playing bridge, tennis, team
sports, dancing and for some
strange reason she likes musicall kinds.
·she has managed to obtain a
8.0 average at college, and was
even able to give this reporter
a half hour for an interview.

When all is done for the day,
Joan takes in a iittle entertainment. Guess what it consists of.
Dancing, operas, or musical movies.
Next fall Joan will be teaching
elementary vocal in Wisconsin
Rapids. Some day she would like
to go to graduate school and attain a masters degree in music
education. You can't "beat" that.
It makes quite a "record.''

He is in the United Campus

In the summer. of .1959 Tom
worked on a peach ranch in
Colorado. He spent lots of time
in the mountains because he could

preferred the warm weather.
He likes a variety of things.
Among these are acting, travelling, camping, sightseeing, listening to music - progressive
jazz and some classicals -reading, writing poetry and some
dancing. Plays, well-done movies
and watching athletics are entertaining to Tom.
He thinks as a freshman you
should experiment and develop
yourself. "Find out your capabilities and then accept yourself
for what you are," he urges.
His college years were the turning point of his life. He began
to realize what he didn't know.

A COLLEGE WEEKEND
By Janet Fowler
The week has finally come to a close.
Saturday morning is one of repose.
The sun may shine brightly in the sky,
But it is hard to open even one eye.
When finally the student arises,
Half the day has passed to the ages.
Saturday is filled with many things,
And seldom does it include studying.
Time out for worship on Sunday morn,
And another half day from the weekend is shorn.
The remaining portion of the day,
Passes by in much the same way.
Sunday night he is likely to report.
A college weekend is much too short!
pany has offered to buy up the
tapes for party records.
At that time, we called for potential new members and guests
to stand and introduce themselves. None did, . they had already left in disgust. Our next
feature on the program was the
iptroduction of our guest speaker, the local representative of the
VA. As the meeting was somewhat disorganized, it did not become apparent until late yesterday that he was actually a recruiting sergeant and that the
paper we signed was not for a
veteran's bonus, but was for a
group 6 year enlistment. And to
think we even carried him home
on our shoulders! (Incidently, he
has since informed me of one
concession, we can retain the
title of "the Fighting Fifth" if
we can scrape up 23 more guys.
Anyone interested?)

THE POINTER
CSC Now Has Finsters
...
Something new has been added
to the CSC SI/Orts picture - a
varsity swimming team.
After a year and a half of idleness during after school hours,
the pool in the Field House was
finally the scene of activity for
a group who organized a swimming team. -.,l\1,r. Dean Phelps of
the Geography departme.nt is the
faculty advisor and W a y n e
Schimff, a junior, is acting as
coach. Their first form of com·
petition was an intra-squad meet
held jointly with the girls' swim
team last December. 75 students
took part in this meet.
At their first dual meet which
was held at Oshkosh, freshman
Larry Clark of Plover who swam
the 220 and 100 yard freestyle
events and Louie Hall of Eagle
River who competed in the 50
yard freestyle and the 100 and
200 ya:r:d breast-stroke events
took high honors for CSC with
four points each. Earning three
points each wer.e Greg Enfer of
West Allis in the 100 yard butter:fly and freestyle and the 200 yard
Individual medley and Wayne
Schimpff of Chicago who swam
the 100 yard freestyle in both the
440 yard medley relay and the
400 yard freestyle relay and in
· the 440 yard freestyle. Dick
Bowker of Junction City swam
the 100 and 200 yard back-stroke
and Aubrey Fish of Wausau, a
diver, .each earned one point.
Other CSC swimmers in the meet
were James Bertolino of Stevens
Point, Jim Check of Eagle River
and John Hempel of Fall River.
The final score of the meet was
Oshkosh, 68 and Central State,
mers have. joined the team and
it is hoped that Oshkosh will
soon find out who rules the
clilorinated world. The only home
meet this season will be held in
the Fieldhouse pool at 2:00 p. m.
on Saturday, March 10, 1962.
Hockey Team
Gets "Revenge"
By Doug Koplien
If a 10-0 score is what one
would consider "revenge" then
the Stevens Point Hockey team
got their revenge.
Or if one would think of revenge as not getting beaten as
badly as the previous time, scorewise that is, then they also got
their revenge.
But no matter how one looks
at it, they were defeated. Maybe
if they had about 10 more players who can skate and know how
to play, they would be able to
win. No person can skate for
forty out of sixty minutes and
still play up to par for the whole
game.
In a college of tqis size there
must be many fellows who can
play the game· well. Guys from
the northern part of the state
where Hockey is a popular sport.
So skaters rally yourself in the
time of your school's need and
go out for the team.
Pointers who are .not able to
play the game, and Pointerettes
at least go out and watch the
team in action. The ring is on

Time Out With Doug
Siasefi News
By Doug Koplien
Opinions around campus have
said that the last article that
appeared was directed at the
players. This is not true, it was
pointed at anyone to whom it
concerned! In other words if the
shoe fits wear it.
If one tries to criticize he must
leave himself open for criticism.
Your reporter sincerely believes
this. If I have been critical in
the last few .issues it is because
in my mind I thought that there
were things to be criticized.
My reasons for this being that
a team had defeated the Pointers whom they had previously
beaten by a extremely high
score. If this does not deserve
criticism, I apologize.
Is it ·too late for the Pointers
to come back and take the championship? Here's the story of the
possibilities of how the Pointer s
can still take the championship
or at least tie. Oshkosh plays
Whitewater who is in first place
now, Saturday, February 17.
Now if Oshkosh can defeat
Whitewater and Point- can beat
Whitewater, then there will be
a tie for first.
Oshkosh is going full steam
right now and there is a chance
that they can beat Whitewater.
If Oshkosh's Austin can keep up
the pace at which he has been
going and Whitewater has an off
night then Point will have their
chance.
If the two unexplainable losses
would have been wins there
would be no question as to
whether the Pointers could come
out on top. But unfortunately
they are losses and what will
happen remains to be seen.
Since the loss to Oshkosh during semester break the Pointers
have started to play ball. A
comeback like this should be
commended. T e a m w o r k has
again invaded the play of · the
team. But whatever it was that
had invaded them up until now
was bad, both for team spirit
and for the win column.
What brought about the return
of "teamwork?" Could a "hanging" have speeded up the fight
against this unknown assailant
that had attacked the Pointer
team? Or was it just the time
element that brought this teamwork back to the realm of reality. Whatever it was let's hope
that it stays.
I think that it would be appropriate at this time to give
the esc students a "pat-on-theback" for the backing the team
has received. The turnout at the
games has been very good. So
let's keep it up and follow the
team, win or lose.
Here is a little note to the
student body not relating to
sports. Remember that in a democracy and under our judicial
system, "a person is innocent until proven guilty by a court of
law."
Time out for a smoke.

Well, with winter carnival gone
and a success it was, we must,
once again try and convince our·
selves to start reading those mit

tests will start sneaking up dut·

We elected the semesters offiqers at our last .meeting with the
following results:
Bruce "Chester" Lind, pres..

vice president; Spence "Once

Seems that the bowling team
had great success over a lesser
opponent last week. In fact it
was a shutout. Well you know
the old saying, "May the better
men win."
From the looks of things
around school the last few week$
we have started an industrial
arts major here at CSC. There
sure are a lot of boys carrying
"hunks" of wood around. Some
of these "hunks" must . be quite
valuable as they are even being
carried in cellophane bags.

George Middleton, n0ted playwright of the '20's, tells about
rulming into Don Marquis, author
of the ever-popular Archy and
-Mehitabel, at the Players Club
one evening. "Quite obviously
Marquis had fallen genially off
the wagon," recalls Middleton,
''and I wagged my .finger reproachfully at him. Whereupon
Marquis drew himself up with
exaggerated dignity and, waving
me aside, said, 'George, I have
triumphed over my own will

Aquinas Club
Rushing time is here again and
the Aquinas Club is contacting
prospective members. Our first
rusher of the semester was held
on Valentine's day and was well
attended. It proved to be a very
informative session.
Our hearty thanks go to Pat
O'Keefe and Brother Bill Lock for
being our King-and-Queen candidates for Winter Carnival.
Although this is a very busy
time of the year the fellows still
find time for a little enjoyment.
A date-party was held February
17th at which everyone had a
thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Phi Sigma Epsilon
The Phi Sigs held their formal
initiation ceremonies Sunday,
February 11, with six new members added. They are Jerry Rabe,
Fred Kuhl, Ralph Meinert, Jim
Googins, Tom Neidlein, and Elroy
Jensen. Welcome, ~n!
Frat pins have been exchanging hands during the last few
weeks. Brother Elio "Rookie"
Pascutti seems to have lost his
to a Stevens Point gal, Carol
Smith, and Brother Fred Orlando
also lost his to another Point
gal, Caryl Cashin. Nevertheless,
congratulations are in order for
these wise choices.
We see that Brother Rank has
found a playmate who can imbibe as much as he can. By the
way, playmate, thanks for letting
Phil go out with the boys Sunday night.
Congratulations are also due to
Brother Duane Pahl as his family was increased by one-third
through the arrival of a baby girl.
Sigma Phi Epsilon
It is once again time for rushing activities to get into full
swing. The Sig Eps will start
rushing new candidates for membership on Tuesday, February 20.
This will be immediately after
our current pledge class has gone
active.
The pledge class that we have
now, will be activated on Sunday,
February 18, and a banquet will
be held in the evening at the
Curve Inn in their honor. The previous night, February 17, "Game"
night will be held, climaxing the
final week of pledging. The
pledges who will be activated are
James Gass, Jerry Grassel, Ed
Grimm, Gary Lichtenberg, Ken
Multerer, Tim Parsons and Tom
Sievwright.
February 29, election of officers
will be held.
During the past two weeks· or
so, all the Greeks have been in
hot debate over new housing contracts offered them by a firm in
Milwaukee. Actually there has
been discussion on this for quite
some time but it is only recently
that the title was . cleared to the ·
land that we are going to build ·
on. The Sig Eps have signed their
contract and it is our hope that
the house will be up by next fall.
We believe that the building of
fraternity and sorority houses
will be a great boon to the Greek
movement on campus.
On March 10, the Sig Eps will
be making their annual trip to
Peoria, Illinois. for the district
fraternity basketball tournament.
Everyone that went last year had
a good time and it looks as though
this: year will be even better

The Future?
The villian time is rushing in too fast.

The worm emerges beautiful butterfly
Ugly ducks become the swans
The thorny bud a rose
And blackest night precedes bright dawn.
Nature's future wears a smile

Goddess Of Winds
I'm swimming in the river Styx,
Fighting the lethal current,
Current that draws me to the dark shore.
All depends on the wind.
An ill wind will break me.
The fier~ waters ·of Lethe will grasp me,
Will consume me with gnashing teeth,
. Will vomit me forth on the dark shore.
There I will join the slaves of d'eath,
As one of them.
But all is not lost, not yet.
Perhaps a gentle breeze will blow.
Perhaps tomorrow will find me on the bright shore,
Cavorting gayly with the masters of life.

Reflections On The Past
By Gabriel Cheng
"Wherever the real power
in a government lies, there
is a danger of oppression. In
our Government the real power lies in the majority of the
Community."
This is what Richard Hofstadter uses to begin his incisive interpretation of the American
Political Tradition. Richard Hofstadter, a professor at the Columbia University, believes that the
country has been over-indulging
in the "nostalgia for the past."
He thinks that a re-interpretation
of the American political tradition is necessary so that we, instead of merely enjoying the
past, can analyze and locate the
present.
In his book of the American
tradition, ~ichard Hofstadter attempts to interpret the American
past with a revolutionary style.
He gives portraits of the men
who have been instrumental in
shaping the course of events,
imperative in formulating our
governmental theory and system.
He lays his emphasis on the
political role of the figures, and
even more on the family, S<>Cial
background which framed the
figures' passions and actions. The
comments he gives on each of
their movements were original,
unaffected by the myths of history. And these he backs up
with vivid details from primary
and secondary courses. Thus, the
reader comes to aee in this approach of portraying· the main
current in· the Ame:~:ican political
sentiment.
ideas were flourishing: "His taste
was judicious in liking better the
dreams of the future than the
history of the past." Yet, his contributions to the new country,
his formulation of a balanced
government were of illestimable
value.
After a period of glorified ideas
was another to absorb these ideas
and put them into practice. Andrew Jackson and John Calhoun
here were shown to be willful and
forceful men. Jackson's dynamic
personality accomplished many
things which a man of another
mold could never have done. Calhoun, on the other hand, stood
out as "Marx of the Master
Class." He advocated state right
of slavery and state sovereignity,
put forth his famous "Nullification" doctrine that a state was
not bound by a law of the United
States if it believed that law to
be unconditional. He was not
quite successful in this, but his
integrity ana influence in the
war department were felt for
more than one generation.
Another generation came both
North and South were trying to
preserve - and "preserve" what
their fathers had built. Lincoln
believed that he was stabilizing
his America and erecting bulworks against u n d e s i r a b I e
change," His debate with Douglas, his speech at Cooper Institute, his address at Gettysburg
were undertaken with the intent
of restoring the Union as it had
been, not of protecting the rights
of free labor that had been existing. Yet it was in this preservation, in his purpose and sympathy, his sacrifice and endeavor
Thomas Jefferson, for example, that Lincoln was shown to be
magnified a per-iod when new gr~at.
The same is true with Wendell
Phillips' attitude of anti-slavery.
He was a "patrician and a-q
agitator." He advocated the prohibitions of the liquor traffic, thtJ
ballot for woman, better condi·
tions for working men and th~
"greenback" theory of finance~
He was shown to be a man who
had renounced a career · of higll

cal power, and great wealth t o

The author, in this approach,

style is original, unorthodox,
sparkled with enchanting irony.
He ell}ploys vivid details of trivial events to reveal and trace the
founding fathers' ideas- just as
a painter does in his use of de·
tails of features and expressions
to procure the likeness of
inner man. In this treatment,
the readers feel, besides the thrill·
ing pleasure of biographies, trackdown the great men's every im·
pulse of idea and action. The
book, however, shows no intention to enchant the ·readers, nor
to indulge in the already-toogreat appreciation for the paost.
It is essentially analytical rather
than sentimental, critical rather
than indulging.

I have been wondering about
the value of studying history,
Why read a book of history at
all unless, apart from mere nos·
talgia for the past, a better understanding or even a guidancf
of a country may result. This
is the .idea I have gained by
reading Mr. Hofstadter's analytl·
cal book of American Political
Tradition on Lincoln's birthday,·
this summer, and would be available at each session. One is nature study, while the second is
concerned with the geography of
Wisconsin. The I a t t e r also
touches the state's history, geology, topography and land use.
Other courses are general conservation and conservation-education.

We are mortally afraid of our
teen-age kids because these kids
are organized. We are not. Par·
ents have no union. The kids
have. You say to your son, "I
do not want you to go to the
movies on Sunday." And you are
told, "Louie's father lets him go,
and Jakie's and Frankie's," and
so on down a list as long as the
alphabet. You tell you daughtert
"You are too young to smoke.'
And she tells you, "Sadie does
it, and Frieda and Ruth and
Naomi •• .''
Naomi ••." Teen-agers come to
you in a group, as it were, and
say to you, "Look, this is what
we want to do." The are mem·
bers of a union thousands strong.
We the parents, a father and a
mother, are two alone. Under
pressure of this organized resis·
tance to parental discipline, the
parent, outnumbered, gives in.
But if parents living in the
same neighborhood, p a r e n t s
whose children go to the same
school, should have a union such
as the kids have, how relatively
simple it would be! If we could
come to them in a group and
say, "Look, this is what we want
you to do," we might get some·
where. The pressure would be
equialized. We W<p-Ild not be
afraid - nor would we have any·
thing much to be afraid of, I
dare say. Parents of teen-agers,
unite!
