Ah, paradox — the delicious
combination of ham and wry
that makes one sit back and
wonder whether his fellow
human beings are on the same
track as he.
Paradox was on the men at
Sunday night's reception for
speakers and guests preceding
the "Toward New Human
Rights" symposium at the LBJ
Library. It came along with the
liquor that flowed freely as peo-
ple leafed through the program
section entited "The Right to a
Decent Standard of Living". It
was car.ved up arid'presented

New human rights — big

Another case of absurdity-ad-infinity surfaced on campus
Monday in the business office. The hapless people who went to
drop or add and expected no charge were rudely awakened. Ac-
cording to the Business Office, the last day to drop without
charge was Friday, Sept. 10. That was "their" interpretatiorof
the rule which states that a charge will be levied for drop or add
after two weeks from the first day of class. Well, we have no
argument against the ruling as such. But how about telling the
■ students?
Tuesday, September 14, was the last day to drop or add
without charge, according to the calendar which most students
have. The Megaphone picked this up and printed it Thursday,
September 9. Then Monday Memo picked it up from The
Megaphone and printed it Monday, September 13. But we were
told that these were not "official." Supposedly the catalog is the
"official" source from which to obtain this information. Ask
most professors and students just how "official" the catalog is
when trying to map out a degree plan. Interpretation of the
catalog is at times about as easy as running through a forest
wifh your eyes closed. Is the business office the source from
which all blessings and interpretations flow? Just who makes
the decisjons? ___
We know that somewhere somebody made a mistake. We do
not mean to say it was the Business Office, because they did not
print the calendar. But the gist of the matter is that the business
office almost succeeded in making several students pay for
somebody else's mistake. Once again, it was almost the student
upon which all burden was placed. How many times has this
happened and how many tim will it happen again?
Finally Mr. Schwartz ironed the problem out and let the
students who were quick enough to point out the mistake drop
without charge. We were elated at his decision — one small bat-
tle won in a long and unjust war.

"Why, there's Mrs. Smith! I
haven't talked to her since
before my trip to Central
America. It was lovely — so
quaint-there, you know."
"Mrs. Johnson really enjoys
these affairs. It's because of
her that they do so much more
here than at the Eisenhower
and Truman Libraries."
Burns was right. If only,
sometimes, we could; "see
ourselves as others see us!"

moment became not the sober-

progress in social rights, but
whether or not it was accep-
