Vitality Lost In Humor
Of Today, Foster Says
American humor has lost its
absurdity, Dr. Edward F. Foster,
UK English professor, said to a
Fine Arts Festival audience
Wednesday.
"Ifumor is not dead, but certainly is not as strong and vigorous as it was," he added.
Dr. Foster traced the development of American humor from Its
Beginning around 1830 to today. In
tJie early 19th century, forces
aliaped a ba&ic American literature and character of humor.

an essential part of humor.
He said humor became bitter
after the Civil War, but was
changed in the 1920s by movies
and radio. Radio was especially
influential because its personalities
developed keen wit in making oral
humor clear.
Humor Is now on the decline,
Dr. Foster asserted. Our society
has become safe and secure and
people are afraid to speak out and
poke fun, he claimed.
"Our society has completely lost
the sense of the absurd." he
added. To illustrate this he gave

two examples.
"How can you watch a soap
opera on television without laughing hysterically?"" he asked. He
said it was impossible for one
family to have all the tragedies
that befall daytime TV characters week after week.
The other example illustrating
absurdity involved Elvis Presley.
"Who would
have thought 10
years ago that a man would become a national idol by getting on
a stage, wiggling his hips, singing
like a fog horn with a cold?" he
asked.

He claimed he would institute a

* Shall We Dance?
dance that anyone with a realistic outlook would have known would flop.
"They paid $2,000 for a "name" band
and had some $200 more expenses for
incidentals. Thus they would have
had to draw at least 550 couples, at
$4 per couple, to just break even. Few
people aside from the ardent cadet-corp- s
chauvinists and those who were
coerced, albeit subtly, to go will pay
that price for a dance, especially when
it is held in the Student Union, and
they should have known that.
Our other concern is with Student
Congress' slipshod way of handling
the students' money. The loan was
made under the Impression that the
military departments were responsible
for its repayment. They weren't. Student Congress also did not require
the borrower to present an official
authorization to request the loan. It
was made on a merely verbal request,
and this smacks of a carelessness
which should notbe allowed.
We hope Student Congress controls
its funds a little more strictly in
future; we also hope that the military
honoraries' members don't have to
pawn their sabres to repay the $1,500.
What's a ball without sabres?

Prussia has given the world a stereotype of the rigid, crisp military men
who follow orders, no matter what;
Prussia has also given us the legend of
the Tied Piper of IIamelin,a fellow
who led the city's rats to the river,
drowned them, and, when the mayor
refused to pay for his services, struck
lip a tune and marched out of town
with the local kiddies, who were never
again seen in the vicinity.
There's a good deal of the Prussian
disciplinary element in the University's military departments, and after
last Saturday's Military Ball flopped
so magnificently we begin to wonder
if the cadets .weren't led into the
woods by some discordant Pied
within the departments.
The facts that the dance lost $940,
or thereabouts, and that someone has
to cough up $1,500 tomorrow to repay Student Congress for its loan
aren't the real issues. The dance sponsors will probably be granted an extension on the loan if they ask for it,
since the money isn't heeded just now.
The distressing thing is that someoneprobably the members of Pershing Rifles, Arnold Air Society and

On The Spot
Bridge: Penalty For Dummies
By DAN
over America scads of college
students are becoming addicted to still
another waste of time. In Alpha Cholera
fraternity houses throughout the land
we hear the snapping of cards and the
grinding of minds as another afternoon is shot with "a hand or two of
All

bridge."

'

Bridge is a wonderful game. It challenges the mind. It makes you strong.
But the game has its disadvantages; it
t,ends to cause friction ("not the king;
that's my ace on the board!").
Bridge has been around for quite a
while. Women's clubs used to spend
afternoons playing the game until they
found out that discussions about Rita's
new hat tended to cause the loss of
the 13th trump card. In short, bridge
requires some concentration so they
switched to poker or some other game.
UK bridge has moved from the drawing room to a bar with a smooth table.
Coffee and cookies has given way to
beer and fritos. The game offers a great
deal to anyone who desires to develop
a killer instinct. (And to someone who
likes beer.)
It also affords a good excuse for putting things off. Now while you stack
your books on a table to watch them,
you can bid two
and really be
accomplishing something.
Then we get to the part of the beginner Social pressure now demands that
you play. As the beginner you are the
Jamb on his way to slaughter. As you
come on the scene of a threesome "looking for a fourth," you are cordially
invited to sit in.
When it becomes known that you are
no-tru-

MILLOTT
a beginner, a frantic game of "musical
chairs" transpires. What? No one is
eager to have you as a partner. Finally
when things get settled down, a new
feature makes its way into the picture.
Your two seasoned opponents begin
licking their chops. Your new unwilling
partner, noticeably shaky, waits for the
onslaught. (For you see, there is much
prestige involved in bridge. If you lose,
the stakes are high.)

To The Editor:
The name "Subterranean" which
describes the Beatnik might carry a
different meaning in analogy. The
Beatnik reminds me of another subterranean animal, the mole. Just as
the mole tunnels frantically under the
earth, so the Beatnik tunnels his frantic way through society.
Unfortunately, the mole has been
away from light so long that he has
lost the use of his eyes. So our
friend the human "mole" has been
away from light so long that he too
is blind. As a result, the poor thing
can't see where he is going, where
he has been, or even where he is at
the. present. All he is sure of is that he
exists, and sometimes wonders about

ness.
As for his account of "Beatniks'

experimenting with alcohol, crime and
perversion, I think it is very poor
taste for them to practice these
things under unsanitary conditions.

crime in unsanitary conditions.
Musicians have their own opinions
of "Beatniks." Perhaps their observations aren't as thorough and erudite
as Waddell's. They jiut call them "the
nuts" or "the hippy ones," or, as a
group, "a bunch of nothings."
As this trumpet man I know said
one night: "Why pay any attention to
the 'nuts'? They are a bunch of
who do nothing
and knock everything. Maybe they
will 'trawl back into the woodwork
if we don't pay any attention to
them."

This calls to mind an old proverb
concerning the blind, and to paraphrase it (my apologies to King
James), the blind shall lead the blind,
