In this issue is little to be found that is serious, except per- haps the advertisements and this article. Much of the material is aimed at poking some good- natured fun at personalities and institutions, a thing that Daily people have to bottle up 'in writ- ing for the regular issue. Then of course some stories are meant to be just humorous-without much point at all. I'll admit that at times the humor may seem forced and fall flat. But the staff has a good time writing it, and for the most part the staff probably gets the most enjoyment out of the finished product. In the past the Extra has had another purpose. It was a March of Dimes issue. It had no set price: a dime, a dollar. The money was the students' contribution to fight- ing polio. In all the fun and rush, the staff probably didn't htink inuch about this aspect of the paper. The readers no doubt thought less. This year, however, the proceeds will go to the Wendy Owen Blood Research Fund. The Daily's contribution to the fight against aplastic ane- mia which killed Wendy Owen last sumier, is not only a con- tribution to that particular fight, but a tribute to Wendy. Even in the hub-bub we cannot forget her wiseness, her basic sensitivity, her understanding all embodied in a friendship with a commonness that could bring you back to earth whether you were high or low. A kind of aiix uvva A QUICK glance at the new ex- hibit of paintings in the men's room at Alumni Mammalian Hall revealed nothing particularly out- standing in any of the works of local artists Goodyear Tired and Hal Maclntask. After turning on the light, how- ever, one can immediately see that an impressive canvas extending over four of the walls rather steals the show. The work entitled Yel- low Tile is done entirely in yellow tile-a new medium consisting of yellow geometric squares made of tile with narrow white lines be- tween each square. This radical approach to the artist's goal of an arresting mural is especially ef- fective where the squares have been allowed to crack and in sev- eral places chip. These chips ar- ranged in a decorative pattern on the floor are rather Baroque and lend a unique contrast to the ab- stract tile arrangement. Other works, less outstanding are Towel Dispenser, also rather geometric and Mirror, an experi- ment in the ridiculous, tending toward the ugly. --Brunhilde Fell Today the University formally seceded from the Administration. The great battle is at last ended, and no breach remains in the wall running down the center of State Street. The final sally of the Un- ion forces has been repulsed by the valiant professors, and a new and less violent chapter in the history of the Uuniversity has begun. Today, parking lots are unpa- trolled, and no policemen roam the eastern marches of the city. The great buildings of the Uni- versity rise unencumbered against a bright new sky, filled only with professors and happy, laughing students. Everything is light and beauty-except to the west of the Great Wall, where the huge bulk of the defeated Administration Building glares balefully across State Streeet toward its once loyal subjects. Even that structure, the sym- bol of years of pain and misery, will be demolished. Already, workmen have removed several thousand salmon-colored bricks from the northeast facade, ex- posing the secretaries and a hundred massive filing cabinets. Defeated and hopeless, from the Controller down to the Dean of Students, the dwellers of the northeast corner look listlessly across the happy campus, wait- ing for the final beam to crack and send them sprawling among the filing cabinets. Today, the battle is ended, the secession complete. Today, comrades, we are free. --Ergo Lilienthal 1 OSCOW-Shrewd Comrade Josef McCarpivitch submitted a list of 19,394 capitalists now enployed in the Kremlin in a closed session of the Supreme Soviet, it was learned by this reporter. Lashing out at what he termed a "gross perversion of the traditional ideals of 10,0 per cent Russianism," the Comrade warned that these traitors "had an affinity for capitalist causes." McCarpivitch had been hinting for some time he knew of some counter-revolutionary activity, was prepared to name names and "let the chips fall where they may." "WE MUST NOT allow our government to be infiltrated by inter- national burgeois Trotskyites," the Comrades screamed before the shocked delegates. McCarpivitch, a devout Communist, admitted later under questioning that he had no concrete evidence on the 19,394 ac- cused. But he repeatedly insisted that secret information in his possession, which he was not free to divulge, proved the guilt of the Wall Street spies. When one member disputed too loud the inescapable truths of the heroic McCarpivitch, the Comrade strode over, admirfistered a swift kick to the groin, caught the falling infidel with a right upper- cut, then listened triumphantly as the writhing delegate admitted he could now understand just how right McCarpivitch was. Two others, obviously Yankee agents, burst out with the capitalist hit, "Herring Boats Am A Coming," in protest to the Comrade's charges, but they were quickly thrown in People's Chains and carried off the floor. McCarpivitch promised that this original list was only the be- ginning, that bigger and better lists were to come.
