PAGE TWO
Promises?
As we enter the final phase of the current po
litical campaign, we should like to bring to the
foreground a glaring inadequacy in the political
scene—the platforms. Again both parties have
produced platforms which are not only mislead
ing and vaguely-worded, but which contain
planks which seem meaningless as well as be
yond the spheres of the parties to fulfill.
The result of the policy to include in the
platform any plank which might possibly gain
a few extra votes has been to reduce the effec
tiveness of the platforms to the point where
they signify practically nothing to anyone.
The practice of creating platforms which will
merely appeal to voters, without too much basis
in fact or ability to carry out the often-exagger
ated promises, places in jeopardy the whole po
litical system, leaving it open to no small mea
sure of ridicule and censure.
A FEW CONCRETE EXAMPLES will show
just how fair this error has gone. The Lion
promise to support decentralized voting by
schools appears a bit tarnished indeed when we
remember that the Lion-controlled Cabinet
already defeated just such a motion on, the
floor. State’s claim to further the expansion of
the student work agencies also seems somewhat
spurious when we observe that those agencies
have flourished as never before under the lead
ership of Lion Joseph Reinheimer.
Vagueness typified appears in the Lion
attempt to give all students an equal oppor
tunity to get in Rec HalL which they already
have. The Slate plank on the support of the
policies of AIM and Leonides says nothing of
ways or means involved.
Just what the Lions can do about abolishing
final examinations for eighth semester seniors
is doubtful, and appears as a very attractive but
perhaps not-too-deeply considered proposition.
Evaluate the platforms yourselves; force the
parties in the future to express their stands lu
cidly and candidly, and regard with much su
picion toe planks that sound too good.

When it’s your turn to fix the “spread” for the
crowd, don’t go through the fuss and muss of
brewing coffee. Make fresh, delicious coffee the
instant way with Nescafe.*
No pot, no grounds. Simply put one teaspoonful
of Nescafe in a cup, add hot water (preferably boiling)
and stir. There’s never any waste. And that little
4-oz. jar makes about as many cups as a pound
of ordinary coffee —costs far less.
Because the Nescafe process protects the pure
coffee goodness, every cup’s a fresh cup! If you
like good coffee, you’ll love Nescafe. Get a jar today.
More people drink NESCtff than afl other instant coffees!
•Nescafe (pronounced nes-cmmy) it the exclusive registered trade-mark of The Niatte Company,
Inc. to designate Its soluble coffee product which is composed of equal pans of pure soluble coffee
and added pure carbohydrates (dextrin*, maltose and dextrose) added solely to ptotset the Davor, a

Players Josh Sex
The American public in the past few years has become increas
ingly obsessed with sex. Thus it is a relief to see a play which can
poke fun good-naturedly at both the old-fashioned and free-love
viewpoints-on this interesting subject.
Such a play is Mark Reed’s comedy, “Yes, My Darling Daugh
ter,” which Players opened last weekend at Center Stage,
Almost without exception, the
cast is of high quality, getting
their different personalities across
to the audience with ease. One of
the charms of the play is that no
two characters are alike —nearly
all modern viewpoints on love are
presented. ,
It 'would be difficult to cite any
actor as outstanding in compari
son with the others. Anne Wahl —
for once a college actress who is
made up to look like and can im
personate a middle-aged woman
—is sincere as the liberal mother
who can think with both her head
and her heart,
Abram Bernstein, as her hus
band, handles his exclamations
excellantly; he reminds one of
Theodore Roosevelt, and his mo
mentary righteous indignation is
in the T.R. vein.
Regina Friedman, as the daugh
ter, shows nice balance between
youth and maturity, and is prop-
By DEAN GLADFELTER
erly harassed in her semi-frus
trating role; She is not excessive
ly frank as an usually frank
“modem woman.”
Portraying the? mother’s pre
marriage lover, Mesrop Kesdekian
shows vast dramatic experience
anitalent as a sophisticated En
glishman. He alternates well in
moods of frankness, meekness, as
tonishment and fear of the oppos
ite sex.
• Francine Toll, as Bernstein’s
divorcee sister, is brazenly mod
ern in outlook and a bit of a
scatterbrain.
Bryson Craine’s interpretation
of the young lover is slightly out
of tune with the other perform-,
ances, but only because he is just
a bit too natural in his gruff role.
Virginia Laudano is one of the
better maids to be produced this
year.
Performances will be presented
Friday dnd Saturday evenings for
the. next five weekends.
