Decorations Committees Prep for Junior Prom Paint be - speckled individuals creeping around the campus in the past few days can be attributed to the Junior Prom spray gun chief, Bill Barnum, or perhaps to the hard work these Webfoots have been doing individually on the prom decorations.

ALUMNA, AUTHOR (Continued from Pane one) German whose reasoning was so twisted by Hitler propaganda that he became an irrational anti-sem itic Nazi. It is an eloquent plea for understanding. Written in the unique form of letters between a German and a Jew, it is one of the most stirring stories of the time. Mrs. Taylor wrote it out of pro found shock when she learned that one of her friends had gone to Germany and turned Nazi. She still believed in the ideals which she acquired during college. Despite the sensational success of “Address Unknown,” Mrs. Tay lor believed that no career was as important or as satisfying as that of homemaking. She has three sons and a daughter. Her husband is now editorial director of ’a trade paper in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. “I admire Kathrine Kressmann Taylor most because first of all she is a woman,” W. F. G. Thacher, her former professor, said Thurs day when Mrs. Taylor was visiting the journalism school. And Mrs. Taylor is thoroughly feminine. Sitting across the booth at the Anchorage in a tailored chartreuse dress, a wide-brimmed brown hat over her blonde hair, smoking Parliament cigarettes, drinking black coffe.e, she was most striking, not as a prominent writer, but as a charming person to talk to. But what happened to the young radical who wanted to change the world? She is still there. In her own way, more restrained, per haps more conservative, Mrs. Tay lor is still fighting for the same principles. She still hates the sly half-truths of propagandists, even though it may appear the propaganda is not misdirected. She still believes in tolerance, in the rights of individ uals to freedom and happiness— equally. But Mrs. Taylor has learned many things since those bull-ses sions in dormitory rooms twenty years ago. “Progress is a slow thing,” she said emphatically, looking at the tanned coeds giggling over cokes at the counter, "It moves by- in finitesimal stages. We must not erase reforms, we must temper them. We cannot trade liberty fo/1 security. It is so difficult to draw a line, to find out how much we can do now so that in the long run our objectives will be reached.” In the academic world, the world of ideas, she asserted, it seemed to her at one time, that socialism was the answer. But when students “run into the practicalities of the brutal outside world” they are forced to realize that the changes must come slowly. “A great many tilings we don’t like, are necessary now. We must do our reforming without upsetting the equilibrium.” Setting the world on fire will solve no problems. Problems, like the poor, we have always with us, she believes. Of primary importance is a true and factual knowledge of the problems, their source, their consequences, Then action must be taken to elim inate further danger to society. Lost generation?
