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.
General chairmen for the deco
rations are June Johnston and Liz
Gilmore. Ron Harris is head of
supplies; Sharllee Heimann, Leo
Kiksche and Lee Benveniste are
artists.
Credit for any added beautifi
cation one may see at the Igloo
should be given to committee
chairmen and workers who have
put in much of their time and ef
fort on the decorations.
Wall decorations are being pre
fabbed and drawn at McArthur
court and the finishing touches
will go on Friday, Saturday, and
Monday.

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?
