EDITORIALA Wee-Small Crusade

Instead of rehashing the SUB, trodding lightly overDr. Koch's toes, blasting national foreign policy and thegreat god General Motors, and being censored by the Ampli-fier's advisors, let us embark lightly and intimately upon awee-small crusade, a crusade on that which is of ultimateimportance to mankind in general and to Montana School ofMines students in particular: namely, food and women.

First, as concerns food, consider-especially you facultymembers who teach 11 :00 classes-the situation in the dormat noon. The lucky students who don't have 11 :00 classeslead the chow line and, therefore, love their schedules. Im-mediately behind them are the students who have been dis-missed from class a few minutes early and, therefore, lovetheir 11 :00 instructors. Next in line are the students whowere dismissed exactly at the end of the 1i :00 period and,therefore, don't like their instructors. And last in line, farfrom the dining room, are the poor unfortunates whose 11 :00instructors insist on holding the class for a few momentsafter the noon bell has rung. Needless to say, these studentsare thoroughly disgruntled with their uncompassionateteachers. ,

Teachers, look at it this way. What work or concentra-tion can you get from the student whose stomach is a growl-ing beast, the student who sits in class watching his fellowsstreaming down the walks toward their lunches? Admitted-ly, not everyone can be at the head of the lunch line, butit's only sporting to give your students an equal chance. Andthis applies as well to the "brown baggers" who eagerlyawait their .peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Teachers,start working now for the "Most Popular-Teacher" awardto be presented on M-Day by remembering that "the way toa man's heart is through his stomach."

Second in our wee-small crusade, consider the womansituation at Montana School of Mines. According to the di-rectory there are 5.07 females to each 100 males-slide ruleaccuracy-in the student body. Since some of these girls aremarried, the proportion of eligible, dateable females is evenless. As a consequence, most-Mines' males are compelled togo "down town" in an effort to find dating material. Andwhere "down town" are the best looking, most dateable fe-males found? Answer: St. James and Community NursingHomes. In the past, as they are now, relations between thetwo nurses homes and the School of Mines have been verycordial. In an effort to make these relationships even morecordial, the following proposal is set forth: Let-indeed,invite-the nursing students to attend all School of Minesfunctions free of charge. In short, give them honorary stu-dent body 'cards, I

Such a move would conceivably have several desirableresults. First, more girls would attend School of Mines ath-letic events which would, in turn, cause more Mines, studentsto attend the games. The presence of girls in the crowdmight even spur the Orediggers on to greater efforts. Sec-ond, the nurses might attend Mines social functions in great-er numbers. How convenient it would be if there were girlsat the dances. Third, the nurses might reciprocate our af-fection.

Oh yes, there is one proposed exception to the plan .ofletting the student nurses into school functions here. That is,St. James nurses should not be admitted to Mines-Carrollgames free because they cheer for Carroll. This is felt tobe in extremely poor taste.

The Internal Revenue' people gotan income tax return from abachelor, listing one dependent son.They sent it back with the com-ment, "This must be a stengraph-er's error."

Problems' ofA Journalist

by J. R. VercellaThe business of pro d u c i n g

"words and pictures" has been go-ing on for a long time. Combinean idea and the act of transmit-ting it to others out of range ofthe human voice and you createjournalism in its simplest form.This, like other human activities,has become a complicated problem.

In the first place, the journalistmust write only the facts and, ex-cept for an editorial, he must notlet his personal opinion enter the-story. He is forced to limit thestory only to the truth despite hisown personal relation to or interestin the story. To complicate thisproblem further, he is limited inhis presentation of the facts' by cer-tain journalistic ethics.The journalist is 'also confronted

by the problem of reader-interest.~e m_ust make his story informa-trve, mteresting, and he must de-sign it so that all of the readerscan understand and read it "withease.

To attain reader-interest and ap-peal, news must be fresh, Peopledo not read news which .Is old ornews that they have already heardabo.ut ~rom their friends. The jour-nalist must make sure his news islew and also that it is news. Thehuman mind places a premium ontimeliness and freshnessLike the doctor, the jo~rnalist is

on duty twenty-four hours a day.VYhether he is at home, in the of-fice, or out for an evening on thetown he must always be on thealert for news; Many times he willhe forced to work long hours af-fording him little chance for sleepor an evening at home with hisfamily.

I sinc~rely hope that as you readthis article you will realize ·thatthe life of the journalist is one' of~ard work and sacrifice. His lifeIS not glamorous, as it is oftenportrayed in the movies and T. V.,but o~e of hard work. He must bea dedicatsd man; dedicated to theverr important field of communi-cation,

The journalists on the Amplifierate also. dedicated and have manymore problems than those listedabove. We are forced to get newsthe hard way from students whoare very uncooperative in theiranswers.

Besides being ~ reported, a jour-nalist on the Amplifier must alsobe a proof reader, feature editorbusiness editor and must be ab'l~t~ pass quizes on journalism tech-mques. The variety of jobs we haveto d? keeps us very busy on what,~t tImes, seems to be a thanklessJob. Our edit?r, for example, is notleft much time for his favoritehobby of making snide remarksabout the general students.. To sum up, being any journalistIS ~ hard,. thankless job but beinga Journalist on the Amplifier ispure-well, it's pure, anyway.

THE ANACONDA tV1INE

In January, 1875, Michael Hickey, a Civil War veteran froma· New YO:'k 'regiment, staked out a mining claim on Butte hilland named it the Anaco,nda. The next year he gave Charles X.Larrabee a half interest ~or sinking a shaft 50 feet in depth:

In 1877, Larrabee and Hickey reportedly gave Marcus Dalya one-third share for sinking the shaft 40 feet additionally.

One histo:'ian says "only representation' work was done for a. few years, since assay'reports on the ore Ivalues were not veryencouraging ."

For the many years I have beenan announcer, I have condonedwhat is commonly known as rockand roll music. However, this pastweekend I purchased a stereo hifidehty set and let me tell you,swing and jazz are not gone, noteven dormant. It seems that thepast few years I have not beenaware of the many fine' engineer-mg advances which have put the"rn" in fidelity. If you are one ofthe few who have not heard a ster-eophonic set, I suggest you listenonce and become an addict of bigoands, ballads and blues. Mind youI'm not saying rock and roll i~leaving us either, but until thenovelty wears off the stereo hi-fidelity set of mine it will have totake the back seat. My favoriteswing album and perhaps yourstoo, once you listen to it, is Rich-a~d M~ltb~'s .big band swing en-trtled, "Swinging Down the Lane."Another treat is the new audio fi-delity album by the fabulous Dukesof DIxieland who play by far themost original and authentic Creoleand New Orleans style Iof Dixie-land. For ballads with a blues f-la-vor I suggest Frank Sinatra'sCapitol album, "No One Cares." Ifyou care, you will enjoy his offer-mgs. For the more sophisticatedyou can always count on the icono-cla.stic wailings of the KingstonTrIO. After making the comparisontest, we feel we will quit rock androll and go to work in a boilerfactory to get away from the noise.Sorry to make the article so shortthis week; but we are in rather ahurry.

Hey man! Have you ever madethe scene in beatdom, say, downaround North heach or 'v emce '{Neuner have I, but the cats sayit's hke crazy. For you squareswho don't dig beats, trns article isintended. IVllnd you now, this isnot a do-it-yourself lesson in HowYou Too Can Become An Off-BeatIntellectual. It is just a lrttle in-fo.mation on the group that seemto have all America guessing.

The American beatmk is a spe-cies of Homo sapiens, which hascome into existence during the lasttwo decades. 'I'ne beatnik or beat-chick, depending upon sex, despis-es the name wnicn the punhc haspinned on him and would muchrather be called a beat.

Beats are primarily found in theSouth-West coast region of theUnited States, with the largestpart of their mass being centeredin San Franciscc's North-Beachand a little Los Angeles beachcommunity of Venice. However,they are spreading out and are nowfound as far away as New YorkCity, and in many colleges and uni-versities,

They say "Home is home, how-ever humble" and the beatnik's isthe most (humble, that is).

Yes, indeed, musical trends seemto be changing. A recent listeners'survey conducted by the IBM Cor-poration for Radio KING, Seattle,shows that the "raunchy" era isdefinitely on its way out. The sur-vey pointed out that out of fivedifferent and distmct categories,rock 'n' roll rated a very poor fifth.I'he only age group that shows anybig preference for this category, isthe 12-16 age group, which, ofcourse, is a small minority of mu-sic lovers. They voted it secondfollowing non-rock 'n' roll currenthits.

The category voted top honorswas the so-called Gold Records,which includes such outstandinghits as "Blue Tango," "SecretLove," "Mr. Sandman," "Marie,""True Love," and others of thesame caliber. By the term "GoldRecords," I refer to the million-sellers excluding raucous rock 'n'roll.

So you will 'no doubt see achange in music. The surveyprompted immediate changes inche programming policies of KING,an exponent.of rock 'n' roll. KINGhas now completely dropped all re-cordings in this category for aneavy concentration on Gold Rec-ords and popular standards.The survey has been widely ac-

cepted by both radio and advertis-ing media, along with the record-ing industry, ~s an indication ofAmerican musical preference, Inci-dentally, approximately 90 per centof all money spent for records isfor the purchase of long-play al-bums. Yes, Virginia, there is aSanta Claus. He's Mr. and Mrs.AVerage Citizen, who have now de-manded bette,' music.
