HE t'SED a quotation of T. S. Eliot to explain what he termed a "high culture." He said that it was once found in a stable and hereditary class society bonded by a common religion. He acknowledged a weakness in this essentially aristocratic no tion in that it "seems to posit an end to history . . . and the pos sibility o£ change." MASS EDUCATION, however, has facilitated the mass com munication media to arrange re laxing amusement to fill leisure time. The mass culture that is created is closely related to com mon experience and it is closer ! to life than to arL. Art, he said. ’ transforms the human existence. Howe said that he rejects the theory that mass media material I is escapist because of its relation to everyday experience. HE WARNED. “The danger to . high culture is not mass culture but middle culture, a hybrid which pretends to expand the : standard of high culture white | it waters them down.” Comparing the working class family with the middle class fam j ily, Howe said that the workers | have lower expectations in edu cation (although education is in I creasingly important in Ameri : tan society l, they have a. smaller success drive, and their tastes, dress styles and modes of reac i tion are different. HOM E SAID that some areas of mass culture seem not to touch the workers. He cited the fact that most American daily news (Continued on pa ye 6) Nothing New in Mouse House Tension mounted at the Uni versity .Mous** House jisterdiy as Snub, the pregnant dwarf mouse, failed to give birth to her litter. She is now five days over due. Ralph Iluestis, biology pro fessor, expressed concern about Snub because she is only about 2/8 the sire of a normal mouse, and the litter is to be tier first. Snub's mate apparently is not too worried. When ashed of the male's condition, Iluestis reported “He seems to be Iwar lnj> up splendidly.” Hawley 'Bitter' Conflict Seen In Business Bv IU).N COHAN Kmrrald Staff Writer The standards of ethics and morality in business are "fully as high and usually higher than in any other profession or in any other field of endeavor," according to noted novelist and one-time businessman Cameron Hawley, who spoke in the SU ballroom last night on "Morals and Money-Making.” A man with strong and admittedly "bitter” opinions, Hawley criticized the government, management, workers and Senate Meeting To Be Saturday A special meeting of the ASUO Senate will be held Saturday from 3:30 to 5 p.m. so that “high school students may see what the Senate is like,” ac cording to Dan Williams, ASUO President.

Photo Bureau Runs Duplicator Already Attempts to establish a "gift fund" to buy a copying machine for student’s use in the library brought to light an additional fact Thursday afternoon there already is such a machine in the library. TWO STUDENTS. John De Bruyn and Ira Wong, were cir culating a petition Wednesday and Thursday in an attempt to establish a fund for the purchase of a machine for copying papers, book pages, and other literature. But Bernie Freemesser, direc tor of the University Photo Bu reau, told the Emerald that his bureau, located in the basement of the library, has had a "Xerox" copying machine in operation since last July. Freemesser said the Xerox pro cessing is used by several depart ments on a "subscription rate” basis, and by individuals who pay a "flat rate.” AT l’UKSKNT, the subscription cost is $20 per month, and each opy costs 10 cents. The flat rate charge pei single copy is 25 cents. Frcerresser indicated that if the ASUO wanted to buy a monthly subscription for $20, this would entitle all registered stu dents to buy single copies at 10 cents. One problem, Freemesser said, is that at present the machine is operated only by Photo Bureau employees from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Business morality is inevitably a product of the environment in which it is formed, applied and judged.” HAWLEY, who feels the pur pose of business is the “service of society," is the author of the best selling novels "Lincoln Lords," “Cash McCall" and "Ex ecutive Suite," and the latter two have been made into movies. For 24 years he worked with the Armstrong Cork Company where he was director of advertising. Currently writing another novel, he has written for several pub lications such as the “Saturday Evening Post.” "The standards, ethics, and morality have been dropping to a low level" said Hawley, who admitted that his opinions were “colored by prejudice, bias, and thoroughly unseholarly notions." HAWLEY commented that “in tellectuals ask why I write novels about ‘grubby’ businessmen" and gave as his reason that “business men are the most importantly determinative group in our so ciety and are human beings torn to a far greater extent than other people.” He gave as the basic reason for (Continued on page 6) Rally Squad Lists Student Seating Seating arrangements for Uni versity students at home basket ball games have been announced by the Rally Squad.
