With an attitude of genuine con-
cern I have been searching the jiast
two weeks for Milton. You will re
member Milton as. the last-year
freshman whose letter was publish-
ed in the first issue of the Mega-
phone.
it
It seems that he had been in
hiding off and on since that first
Sunday. However, at long last, with
a dilllgence that ‘would have done
Inspector Clousseau proud, I found
Milton cowering in a dark corner
of the chapel bell tower.
He was thin and straggly and
looked like he hadn’t eaten any-
where but the commons in weeks.
Immediately pity for this much har-
rassed si^ll of a boy welled, up in
my heart, aid I knew it would take
some clever strategy to lure him
out of his assylum. , 0 .
w I finally managed to win him over
using as bait a steak from Sam
Bass and a bottle of Shalimar from
L.K. He came staggering out and
sat down in a balcony pew. I pro-
ceded to question him gently ahou
what could make a student at a
friendly Methodist school like South-
western spend so much time in se-
culsion. He told me. Girls.
You see, the Sunday that the
freshman girls came on campus
Milton fell in love. She was a darl-
ing little blonde from just outside
of Midland (which is nowhere).
He thought of every way possible
to gbt to meet her, and finally dis-
regarded the Silence rule and went
right up to her and asked her to
the street dance. For just a mo-
ment she looked at Milton, then she
broke out in uncontrollable lau;
ter. This hurt him, but he was
termined not to give up.
That - night after the freshman
mixer he walked -her back to the*
dorm. As they were walking across
•the campus, Milton told her Simply
that she had to go with him Satur-
day night or he would' break his
arm. She did ft, for him. With an
imperceptible karate movement she
tossed him over her head three feet
in the air, and hie landed at her
feet. She kicked Miilton once very
hard in the stomach, then walked
away whistling and thinking what a
breeze freshman fundamentals was
going to be.
It wag bcT"?"' 'v:s that Mil-
ton began t~ ^ - p sisimisftic
view toward th fifties of dat-
ing freshmen. os he is a hard
man to discourage, Milton decided
to try again. He monopolized the
phone and talked continuously to
L.K. for three hours. A lesser man
might have given up, but not Mil-
ton. On the eighteenth try he got a
date for Saturday night. The next
day he was different, he was proud,
qnd hr. was also Sick because the
Friday morning his date that night
was broken because the girl had
contracted bronchial pneumonia of
(he big toe. Milton was veiy upset.
Finally that afternoon too- third
called and said that she, had for-
gotten that her birthday was Sun
day, and She was very sorry that
she’d have to break the date. Milton
cried.
Again the weekend, again no
dates. Last Saturday figured to be
even worse, but Milton’s roommate,
realizing his friend’s state, got him
a date with the cutest freshman he
could find. Milton was still dejected,
knowing that it would soon be brok-
en. But Thursday came, and Fri-
day, and Oven Saturday, and he still
bad the date. He knew the girl .and

Ufa# you uro enough to send ihe veiy best**
rather it seeks ^ better eOmpre
bension of the problems by. main-
taining a continuous dialogue be-
tween trustees, students,, and facul-
ty.' •/ -
/fcl
Recommendations are made to
the board in some cases, but more
important is the open discussion and
realization of the complexities of
matters important to the life and
well-being of Southwestern. This
one fact should be made clear about
the Liaison Committee: it does not
function in an executive capacity.
But its existence may be indispens-
able.
The importance of toe Liaison
Committee may not be apparent to
everyone. However, the necessity of
communication between people who
have interrelated work should be
recognized by even the most uun-
vocal person on campus.
This committee can, and must,
function as a vital organ of toe
student government. Before deci-
sions can be made the pertinent
facts must be known and under-
stood. The Senate, through its stu-
dent representatives, can present
the facts as it sees them. When the
facts of all sides are presented the
task of finding workable solutions
can proceed.
Most situations call for a synthe-
sis of opposite viewpoints. Indeed,
the black and the white nearly al-
ways wind up looking like accom-
modating gray if solutions are ever-
found. This is not bad (as some
who dislike compromise and accom-
modation would lead others to be-
lieve); it is imperative.
Hopefully, through the action and
participation of this committee will
Come a new and sharper vision of
what toe present looks like, and
the future has to offer.
This bright picture Cannot be-
come a reality,, however, if com-
munication is not maintained. Com-
munication presents itself as a dif-
ficult phenomenon for all people to
face - - - whether the problem is
segregation or sex-if anything
worthwhile and! effective is to re-
sult. The existence of this whole
university, not just the Liaison Com-
mittee, is dependent upon toe quali-
ty of its communication and dia-
logue.
The problems of Southwestern will
not be solved, however, during the
four years of this college genera-
tion, nor in toe years of toe suc-
ceeding four generations of college
students. But we must continue the
process of dialogue already begun.
