Inkling Editor Reports
Magazine Not Abandoned
Plans for Inkling, proposed literary magazine, have not been
abandoned, according to Samuel Vaughan, editor of the publication.
Vaughan told All-College cabinet Thursday that most people
approached in regard to aid in financing the Inkling were pessimiAic.
"A popular misconception is that I went to cabinet for money.
I did not. Cabinet was generous; it was their generosity that prompt
ed the original action," Vaughan
said.
Beebe Set For
Religion Week
The Rev. Keith Beebe, the only
player in the history of the Na
tional Professional football league
to combine pro football with
graduate studies in theology, will
represent the School of Physical
Education during Religion-in-Life
week.
The program, which is an all-
College and all-faith function,
will attempt to bring the best
speakers available to the campus
during the week of Feb. 18-22 to
discuss the theme, "Mature Per
sons in World Crisis." Jo Hutchon
and Emerson Jones are chairmen
of the program.
The Rev. Beebe was graduated
fr o m Occidental college, where
he captained the football team in
1942, and also won honors in bas
ketball. In 1943 he went to Prince
ton as a student at the Prince
ton Theological seminary. The
next fall, in order to finance his
pre-ministerial studies, he joined
the New York Giants football
team with the understanding that
his divinity training would take
precedence over any football
commitments.
While studying for his bache
lor of divinity degree, Beebe was
combining three different assign
ments. He practiced in New York
with the Giants every morning,
attended classes in the afternoon
and later in the day donned sweat
clothes to direct classes in the
university's training program for
civilian undergraduates.
In 1949 he was appointed as
sistant dean of the Princeton uni
versity chapel and director of
Princeton's Student Christian
association. He is now working
for his doctorate in religious edu
cation at Union Theological sem
inary, and is a member of the
university coaching staff.
Forms Contain
No Message
The Chinese writing on a busi
ness form used by the College is
nothing more than a series of
jumbled words, the Collegian has
learned.
The recent disclosure that a
propaganda message in behalf of
the Chinese Nationalists on a tax
withholding form created the pos
sibility that the Chinese script
used to block out part of another
form the College was using was
also propaganda. A translation of
the writing on the business form
by Chinese students on campus
showed,however, that the words
were disjointed an d without
meaning.
Almost 8000 income tax-with
holding forms, purchased by the
College from Moore Business
Forms, Incorporated, bore the
message "Arise to exterminate
the aggressor. We must all con
tribute generously. This should
be proclaimed through the press
—through Kuomintang."
A translation of the business
form showed such words as "im
prove—origin--public opinion—
brightness an d righteousness."
Some of the characters are un
clear, the translators said, and
others do not appear to be Chi
nese at all.
Moore company spokesmen
have said that jumbled Chinese
writing words are sometimes used
to block out unnecessary parts of
business forms.
The College owns 980 struc
tures on campus. On the main
campus are 306 building of which
100 are major buildings.

"The Inkling is far from a dead
ambition. The staff is more de
termined than ever," Vaughan
said, in a written staement to the
Collegian.
Asks Cooperation
"Perhaps more cooperation will
be forthcoming now that our
work has been given some pub
licity. The many misconceptions
scattered about campus may pro
mote interest and discussi on
which is sorely needed at this
time."
Vaughan made a report to All-
College cabinet Thursday show
ing the difficulties encountered
in trying to gain financial back
ing' for the literary publication.
Edward Shanken, president of
the Liberal Arts student council
pledged the support of his group
to try to get the English Composi
tion department to aid by finan
cial backing or guaranteed circu
lation. Shanken stressed that he
did not want to force the maga
zine on students but mentioned
that since publications such as
Harper's and Atlantic Monthly
were required of some courses., a
local product might be encour
aged in this manner.
The Inkling is proposed as a
quarterly.

Frozen Woman
Remains Alive
CHICAGO, Feb. 9—(W)—Scores
of wondering doctors today went
to see a woman who was frozen
stiff. She is still living—but now
in a fever.
Th e physicians who came to
Michael Reese hospital to observe
found the patient not only was
still alive but gaining.
The woman, Mrs. Dorothy Mae
Stevens, 23, a Negro, was found
in a South Side passageway
Thursday morning in sub-zero
weather. When her temperature
was taken at the hospital it was
64. Medical records show no hu
man with a temperature that low
ever survived.
But today the young woman's
temperature hovered around 100.
Her pulse, respiration and blood
pressure were in a normal range.
A hospital spokesman reported
she could talk enough to make
her needs understood and com
plain of pain.
She also could move her fingers
and toes. Her body functions are
being restored slowly. She was
able to take gelatin, broth and
tea by mouth.
While her condition was termed
"more favorable," she remained
on the critical list. Medics said it
probably will be four or five days
before they can determine if she
will live and escape amputation
of at least some of her limbs.

Clock, Chimes
