Friday, October 7, 1960 Yanqui Gringo By DON KOOKEN and JOHN REEDER Plagiarizing the tune from “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” we have attempted to write a song in com memoration of Fidel Castro’s re cent visit to New York City. If there are any Cuban terrorists on campus, please remember this is all in fun. Verse one: Fidel Castro came to town In a Constellation. Yanqui sheriff impound plane, He walk to United Nation. Chorus: Yanqui Gringo keep it up, Yanqui Gringo Dandy. Yanqui Gringo keep it up, And with Fidel be handy. Verse two: Fidel Castro made a speech And lit a cigarette. He started out a week ago, . And he ain’t finished yet. (Chorus) Verse three: Fidel comes to St. Theresa, Moldy beard and all. He beat all night on hotel wall And had himself a ball. Verse four: Fidel meets with Mr. K, They talk about good will. Fidel wants some foreign aid To pay his hotel bill. This is the first of a series of editorials designed to stimulate and entertain the minds of Behrend men and women as they begin their career road. The ideas herein are not new in the sense of time but are, perhaps, points of view from the cliches of everyday life and everyday thinking. Its theme will be world-wide in event, emotion and/or philos ophy, because the thinking of all young citizens going through college is becoming broader and more understandable. And, though its pre tense seems to be literary commentation, Career Road’s purpose is the stimulation of ideas through entertaining description and criticism. Most of us haven’t seen any wisdom in college as yet; the fresh men have been harassed and the sophomores avenged, the professors have lectured and we have taken notes or drawn leaves, the candidates for student council have hung their signs rustically around our barn like structure, the swimming pool looks infested and, above all, the early morning looks so strange, unfamiliar and so uninviting. Be that as it may, we are here to learn (we can’t help it if the school looks like a riding academy). So we soon resign ourselves to the fact that college is not like high school where we were taught with a pointer at every major idea; here we are our own information. We listen to lectures that may be delivered with humorous, lively inflections or with serious, dull monotones—and then go home to find in our notes that we have discovered a new type of stenography.-But, all in all, we come up with a slight disappointment because, contrary to our expec tations, the first week hasn’t been very profound. Oh, it’s been fun, it’s been co-educational, it’s been reasonably knowledgeable, but our eager ness seems somewhat let-down—until we realize that our career roads are sometimes steep, sometimes curved and that they ever so often have rests. Thus, we understand that life (school or personal) should not be expected to be one consistent haul or, of course, one consistent rest, but a combination which allows for every human desire.
