with concocting the first
Martini Cocktail ever
fcerved in America ... In

plip and Pearl, intrepid
voyagers wishing to be
(ferried across the East
Jliver to Brooklyn would
fclow a blast on a long
jnetal horn suspended
from a tree growing
close to the water's edge.
Upon hearing the blast.
Commodore Rudo Kap
lan, an imbiber, would saunter out of the seerstube, don his
uniform, find his paddle, and propel them over to "Breuke
len."
:
Vic Fredericks tells of a phone call that woke up a minister
in the middle of the night. "HI, Finnegan," there asked a blurred
yoice he recognized as a parishioner. "Please send around three
quarts of Scotch Immediately." "This is not Finnegan," said the
jninister severely. "This is your rector." "Well, for Pete's sake"
pame the voice in astonishment "What the heck are you doing
4n Finnegan's joint?" ,

the Portland chapter, Oregon
United Nations chapter, say

men. During the business session

Spirit of Volunieerism
Padrow, who has been
teaching for 12 years, pointed
out that future leaders of such
civic groups as the Red Cross
must come from today s col
lege students - that the stu
dent is the "base of volunteer
ism." He said that the spirit
of volunteerism has died out
in some European countries,
and added that in Germany
movements which would be
volunteer in this country are
subsidized by the government
Because there is less inter
est in such movements in this
country. Professor Padrow
said "The Red Cross is not
secure in its coming leader
ship." Surveying what "trig
ger might release the flood
tide of man's future aid to
man" the speaker said he be
lieves college professors are
partly to blame for the apathy
of students and added "Col
lege is a mid-wife assisting
the mind of the students to de
liver ideas." Professors too
often fail to shock and alert
the student mind, he believes.
The speaker said, however,
that many students are Inter
ested in world affairs, if not
in local civic movements.
Retreat From Problems
Seeking to "explain" the
student of today he declared
they see no ending for the
cold war" they tend to "re
treat" from problems, marry
early, have large families,
hold down a good job and en
deavor to surround themselves
with comfort and security.
They may shy away from talk
of brotherhood and sacrifice,
seek "privatism", are fright
ened to be alone, have an in
ordinate fear of being bored

but want to Believe in some
thing. Too many live lor the
moment, and have "no vision
and no dreams" the college
professor declared.
Turning to a brighter side
of the picture, the speaker
said that these students are
merely waiting for something
or someone to inspire them
with idealism and faith. In
the case of the Red Cross, he
said that adults who have con
viction about the movement
should speak to these young
people with Interest and emo
tion. Muit Hav. Vision
"Students will join move
ments, but not on your terms.
It must be as a human being
treated with creativity and
sensitivity to life, imagination
and the dignity of self-awareness.
It must be not as a
monologue, but as a dialogue.
We must have the imagination
to cling to the unreasonable.
We must have vision."
