Editorial Opinion
Representative Platforms
The manner of selecting planks for political parties
has changed remarkably for the better in anticipation of
the spring elections.
It is a compliment to the parties that the candidates
themselves are openly debating and making final deci
sions about the platforms they wish to run on.
Previously, nominees were simply given a list of
planks which had already been decided by the party. It
was then their duty to defend these planks—even if they
did not agree with them.
This is probably the main reason that some student
government officers have voted against ideas which they
originally included on their party platform.
It is to the parties’ credit that they are allowing the
candidates to decide what they want to do for student
government, and how they plan on going about accom
plishing their ideas.
Candidates now may tako a stronger stand on their
party platforms when they are asked about them before
the election. This time students can be more certain that
candidates mean what they say.
Congratulations to the parties. Political platforms
have finally come to mean something.
Extend HUB Hours
The new WSGA regulations allow women to stay out
later on weeknights. However, the Lion’s Den of the HUB
closes at 10 p m., thus eliminating a" nearby “coffee-break"
for many of the women
The AIM Board of Governors is supporting a request
for later hours in the Lion’s Den. A trial period would be
held fust to determine whether there will be enough busi
ness to warrant the extension on week nights.
Previous attempts to lengthen the hours resulted in
later weekend hours. The change of women’s rules now
warrants extended week-night hours on a trial basis at
least.

US. Enters African Problems
Without Solving Ones at Home
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
The United States, a great
democracy which has not yet
solved its own racial problems,
is moving directly, deliberate
ly and at some risk into the
African political picture.
Tuesday’s denunciation ot the
killing of Negro demonstrators in
South Africa is far more than a
mere expression Of traditional
American resentment against bru
talization of a submerged people
by a minority government. !

have been looking toward Afri
ca with deep concern for a long
time. They have hesitated about
saying anything not only be
cause it involved intervention
in the affairs of another nation,
but also because oi South Afri
ca's position in the worldwide

They have realized that such
intervention would also re-em
phasize the Negro world’s already
intense attention to this country’s
own racial problems.
The South African explosion
comes at a time when there was
already concern about the effects

But it also comes at a time
when the United States already

time when African nationalists

some appreciation of file Ameri

The Soviet .Union has been

Superlatives Reach
Superfluous Point
Superfine sugar, supersoft tissues, superspeed razors,
supercola and supersuds scream for attention on super
market shelves.
Boxes and bottles claim their super-iority with blaring
colors and catchy phrases.
America, the land of Super

We never thought much
about it, until we went home
and saw what had happened
to Leo’s, the little corner gro

Of course Leo knew it wasn't
a real supermarket, he only
had two kinds of coffee and
the local brand of butter. So
he had modestly named his
establishment Leo's "Super

One of my favorite people,

THURSDAY. MARCH 24. 1960
by loll! neubarth
asked fhe‘ clerk for a small
lube of toothpaste. She prompt
ly placed a large tube of tooth
paste, containing Secret Super
-17, qn the counter. "No, please."
1 protested. "Just a small tube,
you know, a little one."
She looked a little puzzled.
“This is the small tube,” she
said.
Since it was the largest small
size of anything I had ever
seen, I picked it up to check.
Sure enough, the bqx said
“large.” “Look, right there, it
says large,” I said triumphant
ly
“That’s right, dearie," she
sighed. “But that’s small. Large
is the smallest we have. No
body buys small sizes- any
more.”
And a glance around any
supermarket will prove her so
right! For some reason no one
wants to be caught buying the
small size. It seems to connote
poverty or stinginess. So to
save our silly faces manufac
turers mark the smallest size
"large" and carry on from
there. Next comes giant, then
super and economy (it's -all
right to be frugal if you buy
the large, economy size) and
finally family size.
But have you ever tried to
find a tube of Pepsodent small
enough to fit into those tiny
traveling toothbrush kits?
Happy hunting!
