EDITOR'S NOTE: In this
final Uiue of Smoke Signals
before the beginning of the
Fall term we wish to take the
liberty of deviating from our
regular practice of homo grown
guest editorials and reprint
in part a statement from Dr.
Robert J. Bernard president of
Claremont University College
Claromoni California. The full
article is published in the
Spring issue of ' College and

PUBLIC RELATIONS
AND FREEDOM
Since higher education is the
capstone of the entire educational
process it would seem that its
place in the whole social scheme
of things would be so obvious and
secure that we need do little more
than to let it tell its own story
Yet those of us who find our-
selves on the front line of inter-
pretation 1 now all too well that
this is not as simple and easy as
it sounds
It is quite true that society is
he ivily dependent upon its best-
infoimed and most capable think
ers and that our collce.es and
universities specialize in produc
ing them Rut it is not at all
obvious that the well considered
opinions and even the careful
findings of the distinguished men
who seie in them will be ac-
cepted at face value by the con-
temporaiy lay public
How then in the broadest sense
shall our great centers of learn
ing inteipret themselves as they
continue to deal at the highest
level with the great social issues
of our day'
May I emphasize that a basic
condition of our success is not to
be afraid of controversy For con-
tioversy is the inevitable concom-
itant of the ferment of ideas and
hypotheses some of which are
How To Steal
Girl in Seven
First it is imperative that the
prospective Miss be made aware
of your presence This can be
easily accomplished by such ac-
tions on the part of the boy as
extreme courtesy friendly but
not fawning attitude toward the
Miss and by frequent use of her
name when conversing with her
Remember all people like heat-
ing their own names used
Secondly keep close tabs on
the young lady's present boy-
friend He must know how they
ire getting along at all times so
when the right moment comes
ilong he can stop into the pic-
tuic The right moment for
which lie is waiting is immediate-

not always popular In the physi-
cal and natural sciences there is
less likelihood of violent reaction
but in the social sciences it is
often necessary to throw a
searchlight in dark and forbid
ding places and to reveal unwel-
come discoveries
We have had many historic ex-
amples of the severity of treat-
ment which is visited upon those
who have the courage as had
the prophets of old to expose
wickedness and hypocrisy in high
and low places
There was a man of Nazareth
who taught a class of twelve fol-
lowers without a classroom or
even a log His teachings offend-
ed the hierarchy Socrates Savan-
arola and a whole procession of
others also have paid the price
for their convictions People as
well as books have been banned
and burned and yet the struggle
of men to discover and interpret
the tuth has gone on It is there-
fore not surprising that colleges
and universities and those who
serve them have not escaped the
diatribes of the ignorant and mis-
guided as well as constructive
criticisms from those who are
genuinely concerned Yet in
times of ever present stress we
should not forget that they have
stood for a thousand years as our
oldest and most honored insti-
tutions The lole of handling contro
versial issues and people occa-
sionally makes enemies but as a
speaker at the White House Con-
ference pointed out ' Some of my
best friends are enemies!" So if
we all remain steadfast in our
support of ' man's right to know
ledge and the free use thereof ' so
well expressed at Columbia a
decade ago and practiced on the
campuses of the free world the
issue of freedom will never be
in doubt

The third step is the beginning

results The boy now approaches
the Miss to offer his sympathy
If this is carefully executed the
girl will be caught unaware It is
here that ingenuity takes a part
For the fourth step the boy
must play it by ear If there is
a social function of lesser import

Not date just escort. If such a
function is not available he

War Whoop
One Heckava Year
This being the last issue of the
WAR WHOOP for this year we
thought it would be appropriate
if the student body finally found
out who is guilty of putting out
this rag from week to week
All those rabble-rousing edi
torials that have graced or per-
haps disgraced page two were
the doings of 'WHOOP Editor-in-chiof
Harry Lewis who hails
from California Illinois and most
recently from the backwater town
of Tulia Texas
Associate editor Sally Finch
was guilty of coming up with
various and sundry features as
well as dreaming up several
news stones Our gal Sal comes
to us from Ohio and Las Vegas
New Mexico This is not to be
confused with its namesake in
Nevada
In charge of sports was Geno
Goetz who left (got thrown out
of) College of Emporia Kansas
last semester after a rather un
usual series of events Genes
hornet own is Truth or-Conse-quences
New Mexico wherever
that is He maj get thrown out of
McMurry too
Business manager for the
weeklj wastc-ibasket liner this
year was Arthur Woods from
Birmingham Alabama Woody's
penny-pinching policies brought
about our change to a new
printer
Our two photographers were
Dangerous Danny Richardson and
Dinky Dick McEuen better
known as ' Flash " Danny is a
product of Lamesa Texas and
Lamesa will never be the same
Dick is straight out of Santa Fe
EDITORIAL
The End-Or Is
By SALLY FINCH
Th end of school has finally
arrived Yes that long awaited
for event of the last day of
classes is almost a reality Many
students have looked forward to
it since Septorribcr
The closing of the school year
1961-62 means different things
to different people To the seniors
it means that their college days
are over that they will step into
another phase of life in which
they will be adults and leaders
To the juniors it means that they
will finally be seniors and have
only one more year until they
graduate To the sophomores it
means that they are half way
through school and will receive
the honor of truly being an up-
perclassman To the freshmen
it means their first year is over
and they can come back next
year and not be a slime or a
pledge
gether and the like Another
pointer is that of pleasantly sur-
prizing her from time to time
with a box of candy or something
similar Have it delivered with-
out a name (but accidently in-
foim her best friend that it was
sent) Be very careful not to over-
do this step
Step seven and the final one
the authoi has to offci is that of
linking a lot to do over the date
to the social function Take pains
to be sure all is peifect then be
our ehaimmg best on the date
From here it is up to the boy
The author can take you no
further as this is as far as he has
gotten to this point
The author's name has been
withhold by request. Ho is in the

New Mexico but don't hold that
against Santa Fc
The WAR WHOOP claims the
most radical cartoonist in college
newspaper circles none other
than the infamous Chuck (lo)
Bryan from San Angelo Abilene
Huntsville etc Chuck's special-
ty is slandering anybody and
everybody
Suzio Appleton our erstwhile
feature editor hangs her hat in
the thriving community of Dom-

son. Lamesa Texas (actually she
went to school in Klondike our
Atlas says thats in Canada) and
finally Fritz Hendrick from the
boomtown of Odessa
On our office staff are Mrs.
Bilhe Powers who lives here in
Abilenesville Nellie Holman Ed-
itoress of the Chieftain from
Colorado City Betty Blackwell.
from Impact Texas who raises
horned toads in the office
Our bossman is Mr. William
Lambert who is the campus ver-
sion of the Peace Corps Nobody
is quite certain just where Mr
Lambert calls home but there
have been several wild guesses
And so it is finis for this year's
edition of the WAR WHOOP
staff We daresay there'll never
be another one quite like it!
It The Beginning?
Between these clear-cut reasons
lie many different shades of rea-
soning Some will be happy some
sad some regretful and some
wishing they had made more of
the opportunity which they had
Whatever the reason there will
be another challenge next year
There will be another opportun-
ity to learn and make your own
way
To the seniors we give a salute
for your years of participation
and leadership McMurry will
miss your ability but others else- '
where will recognize it and use it
To the rest of the students at
McMurry we offer a challenge
to take the reins where they will
be dropped It is up to you to
make McMurry a good college
To the faculty and administra- '
we give a 'thank you" for mak-
ing all of this possible for us
To McMurry students faculty
and administration we say
' We'll see you next year "
act at present and making his
name public could have a very
detrimental effect on the outcome.
London has had lotsof confer-
ences There was enough fuss
made over the disarmament one
to fix the whole world for years
Our delegates went by special
boat Dressmakers worked for
months before but a skinny little
fellow with nothing but a breech-
cloth a spinning wheel and an
old she-goat goes there represent-
ing more humanity with more
authontv than all the highhats in
the world It's sincerity versus '
diplomacy Viva Ghandi Will
