has a mental block against going

Lt. Tom Mainer of the United

Three TWC graduates vftio have

and Tom Jordan, Spring '63.
Those accepted, after gradua- who will cut anyway, would

. . . at 10:30 the electricity goes
off and one almost expects to
see the librarians shut down like
mechanically-timed machines,
only to be reactivated when the
auditorium doors open at 11:30.

beautiful First Lady.
At"8:45, the Reddish-brown hair-
ed man stepped down from the
platform artd led in a final round,
of handshaking.
He was carefully followed by
his Secret Service guards as he
stopped directly in front of us and
told a little school girl that he
was glad to see her.
In a most pleasant voice, he
conversed with several other peo-
ple and then moved quickly around
the area. He told them, "I'll be
back in a minute."
Since the pulsing crowd had
squeezed uV several feet from^our
view of the door and microphones,
we barely could see him as he
followed the dignitaries into the
v
building.
He exited as the crowd's hero. To
them, hp had fulfilled the image
of the most important figure in
the land. Most winning was the
fact that he was a courteous gen-
tleman. a genuine human.

tion specializing in' overseas pro-
grams for U*. S. college under-

Institute President Robert T.
Bosshart said the new program
was developed in response to in-
quiries about a shorter program
incorporating most of the char-
acteristics of the Institute's pres-
ent two-semester program in
Paris. He said growing academic
interest W the Paris center was
typified by a team of U. S. pro-
fessors who recently inspected it
and described the Institute's pro-
gram there as "the strongest now
being conducted in Paris."
The new program will stress
French language study and other
courses taught entirely in French
by French university professors.
The fee for the program will be
$1,230, or $1,590 including trans-
Atlantic passages.

ters in that language. All must

temporary European history, pol-
itics aniJq economics, in art his-
tory. the European novel arid mo-
dern European poetry, as well as

will emphasize ear and speech

PRESIDENT KENNEDY
(Continued from Page 1)
in words, but if we tried to ex-
press it more often perhaps it
wouldn't be so awkward for us.
How often do we fail to voice
pride in our heritage or to defend
the beliefs we hold for fear of
being branded a super patriot, a
fanatic?
The experience of seeing the
President and having him speak
to me so impressed me it gave
me determination to try to com-
municate my feelings to others.-1
was rather ashamed that it took
this to make me realize my weak-
ness.
I had so little" time and could
tell so few people before this man,
whose«sincere smile and hand-
shake had so impressed me, was
assassinated.
My disbelief and grief are
shared by the word. I only hope
that the world also shares the
determination to stand up for all
that Americanism symbolizes.
May we all have the courage
to speak out against the bias and
hatred we see and ignore every
day. May we, all dare to think a
little less about what others think
of us and show more concern with
voicing our pride and defending
our beliefs?.
May we dp this and more so
that John F. Kennedy,will not
have died in vain.
