(MR. HUSH' WINNER:
$8,700 Prize Makes No
Change in Student's Life

GUILD

An Inter-Guild meeting will be
held at 2:30 p.m. today in Lane
flail to receive reports on the
}i S pring Retreat, the Christian Con-

By BOB LENSKI and
BOB DILWORTII
Having $8700 dropped in his lap
for guessing Jack Dempsey as
"Mr. Hush," hasn't changed the
life of Richard N. Bartholomew,
Grad., who gave the right answer
to Ralph Edwards two years ago.
Since Bartholomew made the
wirdfall in a Hollywood radio
show, he has turned in his Navy
commission, and following his
pre-"Hush" plan, is now working
toward a doctor's degree in chem-
ical engineering here at the Uni-
versity.
He lives with his wife Harriett,
at 1669 Tully Court, Willow Run
Village.

tholomew lined up for the now-

pocket and the answer to "Mr.
FHush" under his hat.
"I wasn't even fazed when I
won," he said, explaining that he
planned on winning all alon. "It
all just depended on engineering
it right," he said.
Marriage ProposalsI
Following his win, Bartholomt-0w
said he was deluged with letters.
"mostly from crackpots." Some
female writers asked for a share
of the then-scarce nylons, he said,
while others proposed marriage.
The "wackiest" letter of all, he
said, came from a Minnesota wo-
man asking him to buy her some
.$200 worth of flower seeds and
bulbs, which she planned to grow
and pay off the mortgage on her
home..
Fork Over!
Most of the prizes, including a
Mercury car, Bartholomew eit or
sold or gave to his family, who live
in Fayetteville, Ark. The really
heart-breaking part, he said, was
forking over a "sizeable slice" of
the prize money to the income tax
people.
He said he tried to get the in-
ternal revenue department to give
him special consideration because
such unique radio jackpots were-
n't covered by regulations at the
time. "But they made a new
ruling," he said wistfully.
Not Aioard Ship
Another of the prizes was a
year's maid service - which he
traded off for cash. "And there
is nothing to the rumors that I
tried to take her aboard ship with
me," he said flatly.
The best prize of all, Bartholo-
mew said, was the two weeks' va-
cation at Banff, an exclusive re-
sort in the Canadian Rockies. The
Bartholomews made it a honey-
moon trip last summer with
"Truth or Consequences" footing
all the bills.
When asked whether he would
ever try to win another contest,
he said, "I don't think so-one's
enough. At least I'd never go out
of my way to do it." _

STOP KIDDING
YOURSELF 0,.
When People stop lying and cheating and
robbing and murdering and lusting; and
the glitter of greed is gone from their eyes,
what will you have? Utopia! All right so.
you'll have Utopia; and a lot of people will
argue that the world's gone awfully dull,
that if something doesn't happen soon
they'll just die; and what do -you do for
fun?
r'Jhere just isn't any Utopia . . . now or
ever. People will just keep doing the wrong
things over and over again. There'll always
be a right side and a-wrong side of the law.
On the amusement page of this newspaper
you'll find an advertisement of a motion
picture . . . TO THE ENDS OF THE
EARTH. It has a lot to say about people on
the wrong side and people-on the right side
of the law, too. It's even more exciting in
performance than the promise of the ad-
vertising.
But behind the manhunt, the never end-
ing chase through China, Egypt, the Near
East, Cuba and our own United States;
even behind the two years that it took to
write and produce TO THE ENDS OF
THE EARTH, there is a thought and a
purpose.
It is a fight against an evil; a soul-destroy-
ing, body-enslaving evil. With banners un-
furled, it is a march of the forces of law
and order against that which would lower
