Running against twenty-six of the top colleges in the country, the cross-country
team equalled its performance of a year ago by placing fourteenth in the N.C.A.A.
College Division Cross-Country Championship Meet, held Saturday in Wheaton,
Illinois. The harriers of Kentucky State copped the meet with 95 points followed by
Northeastern Missouri State Teachers College with 105 points and Iowa State with
164. Eb Schneider of Northeastern Missouri State Teachers College finished first.
Schneider completed the Kiamxoa^m^a„ „„ iiii l k __

25 seconds short of the record set a year ago by John

Clark Disappoint! Coach
He termed John Clark's performance very disappointing. Clark
finished 75th last year but this time
was only able to take the 106th
position with a 22:43 clocking. Ken
Darmer ended the Ped's scoring
when he crossed the line In 23:52
to capture 149th position. Munsey
thought that Darmer's performance
was effected by nervousness.
The team compiled 319 points,
12 points better than last year's
showing. Over 200 runners entered
this meet, which was run on the
4.2 mile Chicago Golf Club Course.
Munsey was optimistic before the
meet about the team's chances to
seventy to eighty points from last
year's total. "With slightly better
performance on each man's part,"
he said, "we could have finished
6th or 7th."
Monkato State Teachers College,
from Minnesota, which finished in a
tie for, fourteenth with State last
year, moved up to fifth this time.
"This was the worst race they
ran all year and was very disappointing," Munsey said. He added,
"our poor showing could hurt us
in the future If we ask for appropriations to go to another national
meet."

w i l l be speaking here today.
Last April, at the Student Government Conference, the essential
concepts and prlncipls of a r e structured government were developed. University expansion lias
necessitated a need for a different
structure than that of the present
Senate.
Art Johnston, President of Student Association, explained that the
students and faculty concerned with
tlie revision since last April have
proceeded as far as possible with
the development of "the structural
Implications" of the concepts and
principles "Involved In such a fundamental reconstruction."
Rustin to Speak Today
On Future of Civil Rights
Bayard Rustin, called
fthe best civil rights o r ganizer in the country,"
will speak today at 1:25
p.m. in Page Hall. Invited
by the University Freedom
Council, he will talk on
"The
Future of Civil
Rights."
The Freedom Council plans louse
the topics which Rustin will discuss
as the basis for a panel discussion
of the local and national civil rights
picture.
Rustin's organizing abilities have
been much in evidence in the twenty-three years he has forked for
civil rights. His most publicized
H'fort was the New York City school
boycott on February 3 of this year.
He coordinated the thousands of
marchers who picketed 300 schools.
The boycott swelled pupil absence
figures by 3(10,000. It was staged to
protest the Integration policies of
the New York City school board.
Directs Thousands
Rustin was also Deputy Director
of the Marcli on Washington of August 28-, 1903 ill which two hundred
thousand marchers came from all
over the country to demand Immediate civil rights legislation.
Rustin began his career in civil
rights In 1941 when he became a
youth organizer for A. Philip Randolph's Marcli on Washington. From
1941 to 1903 he served as Race Relations Secretary of the Fellowship
I?.' Reconciliation. In 1953 he became executive secretary of the
War lieslster's League, u pacifist
organization.
For seven years Rustin was a
special assistant to Dr. Martin Luther King. During this time he organized and coordinated numerous
marches, and drew up the first plan
for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference,
Demonstrations Out of Dute
While the bulk of Rustin's work
has been in organizing protest demonstratives, the passage of the civil
rights bifflhis summer has greatly
reduced the activity and the emphasis In this area,
m. In an Interview printed In the
oeplember 15, 1904 Issue of "New
America" Rustin Indicated that he
lecognlzed the need for a new e m phasis,
"Poverty exists amidst plenty,"
said Rustin, "and the Negroes are
hardest hit but millions of whites
suffer from the obstacles In our
political and economic structure to
effective remedies.
"It is in this context that we must
carry out the protest which is Involved in getting decent jobs,
schools, housing, and the right to
vote. We must, therefore, address
ourselves to the broader perspective of building and strengthening a
political movement In this country
to solve these problems.
"It Is in this light that we must
consider the new piiases and the
next steps for the struggle."
Decentralization
The principles involved in the
workshop are aimed at decentralizing the government as a whole, to
allow the individual student groups
to use their knowledge of the mechanics of their own fields In formulating a workable governmental policy
Johnston stressed the fact that a
Student Government should actually
be "student involvement in areas of
student concern at every level."

Speeches Need Scheduling
H e r e ' s to Campus C h e s t . Your donation t a s t e s g o o d .
The speeches today of Bayard Rustin and Peter Blake demonstrate the problem of Inadequate scheduling procedures. Both men are speaking at 1:25p.m.,
both are speaking on topics of social significance, and
both speeches are open to the whole University.
At the present time there is no "central clearinghouse" for scheduling speeches. When-Page Hall was
the only place available for speeches, it was easy
to make sure that there were no conflicts. Now,
however, speeches are scheduled for Page, Draper
349, and Brubacher, all by different offices.
We realize that as the University gets bigger i t *
will be necessary to schedule conflicting speeches,
and that audience size will not suffer as a result.
But the University is not that big yet. It is hard
enough to fill Draper 349, let alone Page Hall when
only one speech is scheduled.
We feel that either the Student Personnel Office
or the Student Activities Office should take sole
responsibility for scheduling speeches and other
events of interest to the entire University. In this
way the broadest schedule of programs will be available to the student.
One Full Year
Two days from now will mark a full year from the
date of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Much has happened in that one year.
Even in the shock of one President's death the
American people turned to the new President, and
under his forward-moving leadership put into law
the fundamental principle of the nation.
Less than a month ago the people re-elected that
President as President in his own right. In doing so
they rejected a man and a philosophy which attracted
support based on fear, prejudice, and a narrow concept of social responsibility.
The Warren Commission has issued its report
naming Lee Harvey Oswald unquestionably as Mr.
Kennedy's assassin. The evidence is all there, but
the answer to the question Why? remains unanswered,
and will forever.
The year began with a violence and senselessness
which shocked the world. Violence has prevented us
from ever gaining any insight into that first act.
Violence and bitter hatred have erupted in the struggle
for civil rights.
Yet the struggle for civil rights will ultimately and
finally be won in the legislatures and the courtrooms.
Reason and intelligence will continue to make the
changes that violence and blind emotion can not p r e vent or erase.
As members of the university community we are
dedicated to this reason and intelligence. It has never
been more important than it is now for us to be aware
of the need for this dedication.
Although we often feel isolated in our own university
society and cut off from the rest of the world, we
cannot divorce ourselves from responsibility for the
world we live in.
We were made painfully aware last year. We must
continue to be aware.

Prof Returns from Middle East;
Taught History in Lebanon, Turkey
by H a r o l d L y n n e
"It is possible to teach American
history or European history without
having traveled to these areas; however, in order to be qualified to teach
Middle Eastern history, I feel that
one must visit the Middle East,"
commented Dr. Matthew H. Elbow,
who has just recently returned to
State's faculty after two years in
the Middle East/
Dr. Elbow explained, "Every
country's problems are so different. It is very difficult to generalize
about anything between nations or
even within any particular nation."
In 1963-63, his sabbatical year,
A he was a visiting-professor of history at the Beirut College for Women in Lebanon. He arranged for
this teaching position through the
United States Presbyterian Church,
to which the Beirut College for Women is related.
In March 19ii3, while teaching at
the College for Women, Dr. Elbow
was notified that he had been awarded
a Fullbright grant to teach at Robert
College in Istanbul, Turkey.'"I had
originally planned to return home af• ter my year in Beirut; when I found
that with the Fulbright I would be
able'to stay in the Middle East for
another year, I was elated," Dr.
Elbow said.
American Schools
U& Both the Beirut College for Women and Robert College are American institutions. Strangely enough,
these schools Sre chartered under
:he Board of Regents of the State of
New York. It was necessary for
these American schools abroad to
be accredited by some educational
organization in the United States,
and New York was chosen to handle
the matter.
At these Middle Eastern colleges
virtually all the courses are taught
in English. For those students who
do not have a backgrounds English,
these Institutions have set up preparatory schools which administer
an intensive English program.
Dr,. Elbow discovered that, In
0 both Lebanon and Turkey, there is
considerable criticism . of these
American colleges for being culturally imperialistic. Yet, there is
also a tremendous demand to gain
admiffsion into these schools.
Religious Toleration
To further discuss Ms experiences in Lebanon and Turkey, Dr.
Elbow noted, it is necessary to
handle each counlry separately.
There Is toleration of many divergent religious sects. Each church
supports its own schools; thus has

arisen a complex system ofprivate,
church-affiliated schools.
Lebanese public schools are considered among the best public
schools in the Middle East. As a
result of its fine educational possibi ties, Lebanon has over fifty per
cent literacy. With the exception of
Israel, this is the highest literacy
rate In the Middle East.
"I was very lucky to have been
able to secure a teaching position
at the Beirut College for V/omen
because that Is an ideal Lebanese
school for one who wishes to familiarize himself with the variety
of religions in Lebanon," Dr. Elbow
said.
The religious composition of the
Beirut College for Women clearly
reflects the overall religious divisions of Lebanon. The college,
as Is Lebanon, is half Moslem and
half Christian.
The major Moslem subdivisions
are the Sunnlte, the Shiite, and the
Druze. The main Christian sect is
the Maronite. The Maronite Church
is associated with the Roman Catholic Church; however, there are
certain salient deviations from Roman Catholic doctrine. Services are
held in Arabic," priests can m a n y ;
and the Pope, although he is recognized,-Is not considered as Important as the national patriarch. The
other significant Christian group is
the Greek Orthodox Church.
Policy Criticisms
"Dr. Elbow said, "In my yeai
at the Beirut College for Women I
was often confronted with two major
criticisms of United States policy—
too much foreign aid to Nasser's
Egypt and endorsement and support
of Israel."
The Lebanese Christians with
whom Dr. Elbow came In contact
tried lo Impress most upon him, as
a visiting American, how great the
fear of a United Arab state was to
them. In Lebanon neither the Moslems nor the Christians dominate
politics because their religious
population is fairly even in number.
If a united Arab state were formed,
the Christiana In Lebanon would be-
come a small minority. This they
are certain, would result in severe
religious persecution. Since Nasser
would be the key figure in a united
Arab statejthe Maronltes are very
displeased with the United States
for giving Egypt so much foreign
aid.
Another sore point In AmericanLebanese relations revolves around
the partition of Palestine in 1948.
Lebanon violently opposed the United Nations' proposals for the partition of Palestine and the establishment of the state of Israel. The
United States supported tlie plan for
partition and was the first nation
to officially recognize Israel.
This was a severe diplomatic,
blow to Lebanon (and the other Arab
nations) for which the United States
lias never been forgiven.
In D e f e n s e of the USA
At Robert Collge in Istanbul, Turkey, Dr. Elbow found himself In a
position where, as he stated, "not
only did I have to teach, but I also
had to defend the United States."
His tenure at Robert College began
Immediately after the summer of
19C3, when the civil rights issue in
America had reached a fever pitch.
"My students were always asking
about racial strife in America. The
Turkish newspapers played it up;
Negro demonstrations were front
page material," Dr. Elbow said.
His students could not understand
how a single state, such as Mississippi or Alabama, could claim thatthe
federal government did not have the
right to enforce civil rights legislation. "I tried to explain the federal
system to them — that states had
the prerogative to challenge the
constitutionality of the federal government's actions," Dr. Elbow said.
Turkey has never had very friendly relations with Russia. Dr. Elbow
was aware of this, but he had not
expected the degree of anti-communist sentiment which he discovered exists In Turkey. "Turkey
Is on the border of Russia and, whenever something goes wrong, the
people's first reaction is that it must
be a communist plot.
When President Kennedy was assassinated, Dr. Elbow's students
immediately assumed that behind
such a horrendous event only the
communists could lie.
Widespread Illiteracy
During his year In Turkey he
found that one of the greatest problems facing the Turkish government is that of Introducing widespread educational reforms. More

"You're the only one I can turn
to, Tim," she said.
"Who says?" I asked.
"Trudy, Tim Trudy. Trudy the
bat-girl sent me. Help me, please.
Can I come In?"
It was almost suppertlme.
"Can you cook?" I asked.
"Yes, yes. Why all these questions?" she was becoming hysterical. "Please, I have to talk to
somebody, and Trudy says you're
the only one who can..."
I tried to cheer her up.
" I haven't got anything defrosted,
and it wouldn't be right to send you
out for a pizza, but I think you can
make do with what's here. You
know. Fend."
Maybe she smiled at that, maybe
she didn't.
"If I make supper, do you promise to listen to me and give me
good advice, Tlm7"
"Yeah," I said. And then I asked
myself, " I s she just using me?"
"All right, I'll fix something,"
she said.
I helped her up and into the apartment. She rested on the couch for a
minute to cry and catch her breath
and then went Into the kitchen. I put

following:
"LOOK under the sink, you missed

"Oh. Marshmallows."
"Marshmallows," I said.
"What are we going to do With
marshmallows?"
"That's a gas stove, Polarity."
No response. I was getting Impatient.
"What's the matter?" I said.
"Haven't you ever had toasted
marshmallows for supper? What are
you, upper-upper or something?
Eh?"
We sat in the living room eating
toasted marshmallows. The Benny
Goodman redords were over, and I
had run out of things to say. It was
very quiet. Polarity began to cry
again.
"Can we talk now?" she said.
"Oh, alright. Tell me everything."
"You promise to take notes?"
she said.
Again I wondered, " I s she just
using me?" But I consented.
"Everybody wants me to join

Critical C o m m e n t a r y
'Metatheatre'
by Alex Delfinl
Lionel Abel's "Metatheatre" attemps to do two things. First to
demonstrate why it is difficult, if
not impossible, for modern writers
to produce tragic drama, and second, to outline the basic elements
of a comparable form of drama
which he calls "metatheatre."
The following discussion will focus on the first aspect of Abel's
book, that is, his theory of tragedy.
According to Abel, tragedy occurs when the protagonist, attains
"daemonic" or divine stature as a
consequence of his suffering through
punishment and destruction.
The tragic hero is a man who
has been destroyed because he has
transgressed beyond the bounds of
the human. As Abel explains, the
tragic protagonist has the audacity
(hubris) to act as if he were divine.
In doing so, he is ultimately
struck down by the powers he has
violated, but, paradoxically, these
same powers grant him at the close
of the drama the very stature or
divinity that he originally claimed.
he can avoid his fate and can uncover the truth about himself in
spite of the warnings of the prophet
of the gods.
Oedipus in effect acts as if he
were invulnerable, or divine.
Although Oedipus is struck down
at the end of the play, in Sophocles'
second part of the trilogy, "Oedipus at Colonus," the fallen king
has been granted divinity by the
gods, and two states are vying for
his sacred body when he dies.
Weak Explanation
Abel's explanation of the tragic
vision Is very weak. First, he never
''offers an adequate explanation of
the term "daemonic." One may
question whether the tragic protagonist becomes "daemonic" purely In the, minds of the spectators,
|Or whether he performs some act
or makes certain statements which
necessarily reveal his divinity.
•
From the example of Oedipus
given above, It would seem that the
latter interpretation is more correct, but Abel also applies the concept of divinity to the character of
Macbeth, and this must inevitably
involve a somewhat different use
of the term.
There is also a glaring fallacy
in Abel's use of Oedipus as an
example of the daemonic charac-
ter. He claims that Oedipus' divinity is recognized in the second
drama, "Oedipus at Colonus." But
"Oedipus Rex" and Oedipus at Colonus" are two distinct dramas
and should be evaluated Individually, not collectively, If one is
looking for the basic elements that
constitute tragic drama.
We do not want to read "Oedipus at Colonus" to recognize the
tragedy in "Oedipus Rex." Nor Is
there any direct implication at the
close of "Oedipus the fallen king
has become a divine figure.

Clarification
Now let us clarify some terms.
An etching Is a print from a metal
plate intaglio (Incised cut) design,
The plate Is covered with an acid
resistant Ink. A drawing is made on
the surface of the Ink. Acid bites at
only the drawing, down Into the plate
below, creating the Incised cuts into
the plate.
A lithograph Is made from plates
of either metal, wood, or stone. It
Is an Invention of the late eighteenth
century. The design Is drawn on
the plate's surface with a special
Ink which will resist the ensuing
acid bath. The acid slightly lowers
all areas but the drawing, producing
a raised surface as opposed to the
Intaglio surface of the etching. The
raised area Is covered with printing
Ink and ready to produce many Impressions, s . r l g r a p n
A serlgraph Is produced by forcing Ink through a screen or series
of screens or by using a series of
silhouettes for which the Ink Is
sprayed over the cut-out form.
The woodcut Is fashioned with a
hand tool Into a wood block, leaving only the surfaces which are to
be printed, raised. The llnocut Is
similarly produced. It is only the
block worked upon which varies;
one being solid wood, the ather a
block of plywood, surfaced with
linoleum. Though leaving a raised
surface for printing Is the common
method, an easier method extensively used since Henri Matisse,
has been to carve out only the
drawing In Intaglio fashion..
Outstanding Printmakers
Outstanding printmakers of the
nineteenth century Include such artists as: Antoine-Louis Barye, H.

Friday, civil rights leader Bayard Rustln discussed
i i u e s ranging from the ultimate goal of the Negro'
movement to the failure of the F.B.I. to give adequate
protection to the Negro ln the South.
He commented on the race riots this summer,
praised the Supreme Court for maintaining the balance
between justice and order, and advised the University
Freedom Council as to what direction It should'take.
In discussing the ultimate-goal of the Negro movement, Rustln said, "The Negro will never be satisfied
in this country until he has all rights guaranteed by
the Constitution. That means, therefore, that he must
be' able to buy a home and live where he wants.
"He wants to be able to send his children to decent
and Integrated schools of quality. He wants to be able
to vote,' but, in addition to all of this, he wants to
have a Job, for there is no freedom unless one ha;
work."

P.B.I. Protection Inodequote
Rustln expressed the opinion that the F.B.I, has
been lax in its protection of the constitutional rights
of the Southern Negro. "I think that the F.B.I, protectlon ln the South has been most inadequate. The

Bayard RusHn Grants ASP, WSUA Post-Speech Interview
'J'
Bayard Rustln, speaking before
students and faculty ln Page Hall
last Friday, said he had come "to
erase a series of cobwebs" about
ttthe so-called Civil Rights Revolution.
Rustln said that tile Negro does
not seek special rights and privileges, but that "he will not be
stopped from sharing in all the institutions' of American life. There
is nothing revolutionary about that."
"When Negroes move they move
• he whole society," said Rustin, for
many institutions have been built
from the very, beginning of the country on the bases of slavery and
e-cond-class citizenship."
He sees the present movement as
"a movement to remove tiie contradictions of society from those
who are mistreated." One of these
contradictions is the Tact that despite the desegregation orders of
the courts since 1054, there are
today even more Negroes unemployed and in slums and segregated
schools than there were before.
Work Redefined
The problem now, he continued,
Is that machines have thrown so
many men out of work, and "Negroes and poor whites wlll never
be put back to work until work Is
redefined."
Rustln explained his redefinition
f) work as "work which the gov-'
eminent provides for useful service to society. If 11 Is tlie work of
students to advance themselves, they
should be paid for it,"
"Simply to give people money la
"horrible," Rustin stated, but added
that tliere must lie "a stretching of
the imaginations of the American
people to see that new methods must
be employed to provide everyone
with work."
. .,
Rustln spoke last about the Negro
tactic of non-violent resistance.
"We are the chosenpeople,"hesaid
"in a world where men would use
bombs and chemical warfare for
their freedom, we are chosen to
redeem the nation through non'vlolenpe."
A summary of the April. Conference by President Collins was
relayed to the delegates. It Included the Ideas of the university
existing as a community with reciprocal membership, mutually interdependent, its members participating in many varied groups at
chosen points throughout the day.
Dean Brown proposed several
recommendations to lie considered
ln the formation of the new government operation. Among these was
the exploitation of dialogue, small
group coheslveness, elimination as
far as possible of a class structure,
and the developing of responsibility
in the student to run the new structure.
Organizations from all phases of
university life were represented at
the Workshop. These were divided
into small groups after the pattern
set up since the last conference.
Commission Organization
Basically, the plan for the new
government calls for organization
by Council to Commission, to Board,
and finally to a Committee level.
All this wlll 1* presided over by a
Joint Student Personnel Council.
Representation will lie by group
rather than the present class distinction. Commission areas have
been broken down into Academic
Affairs, Communications,Community Planning, Living Area Affairs,
and Religious Affairs.
The Judicial aspect of the government is not yet wholly devised, but
will be vested in a committee having
review over the actions ol the five
commissions. '
Further Discussion
At the conclusion of the session,
however, the need for further discussion on all aspects of a final
and concrete structure was recognized. Another Workshop meeting
was set for Saturday, December 5.
Independent discussion on the part
of the individual commisslongroups
was encouraged before the next
Reorganization Conference.
Heading the groups, and leading
the discussions by the delegates
•were Academic Affairs, Kathy
Brown; Communications, Maureen
Glasheen; Coordination of Student
Association, Nancy Baumann; Living
Area Affairs, Joanne Sobikj Religious Aflairs, Linda Etherldge.
