All you men are neurotic. And furthermore, when you are Head, I shall own every thing." No, this is not an exerpt from True Confessions . . . just the an nual male versus female Penn State versus Mt. Mercy debate. What are these people talking about, you ask? Gloria Gallagher and Louise Koenig, via Mt. Mer, cy, argued for a greater share in public life. But those two anti quated, old plutocrats from the College, Samuel Nowell and Rob ert Murrer, were' against the .re solve, That Women Should Par ticipate More Fully in Public Life. Misses Gallaher and ; Koenig warned that women were pushing men aside in their climb upward. To quote Miss Gallagher, "Women are the beacon in the after-smog* in the world of male blunders." Clutching his chest, obviously he had heart burn, Nowell ejacu lated (said), "Women live longer, but men are not here very long.

At the close of this statement Nowell threw up two heavily bandaged index fingers which he had in jured 'sewing on a coat button. At the end 'of the debate a gift dedication of a set of cuff links "A powerful force these difficult -times" "In these days when much is said about 'adult education,' we too often forget that a great deal of adult education is daily carried on by such instruments of public information, as The Reader's Digest. In my judgment, The Reader's Digest is one of the powerful and useful forces shaping the thinking of our people in these difficult times." The articles in each issue of The Reader's Digest cover a broad range of subjects: from travel and politics to science and history, from humor and personal-inspiration to head line news. Forty or more articles and a host of short subjects, carefully chosen from hundreds of publications, bring Digest readers more varied and more concentrated information than can be found in any other magazine.
