wonder what will happen to Homecoming now. It is all well and good
to talk of hiring a name band and
making the Thanksgiving Homecoming a "bigger and better weekend," but we have seen Homecomings
with top entertainment and ready-mad- e
audiences fail. Students seem
to have an almost maniacal aversion
to events held in the SUB and such
an affair, even coupled with a
football game, would
hardly be enough to draw most students from their homes two days before the end of a holiday.
But, regardless of what happens
in November, Student Congress has
done one thing; it has shown that it
is more than an arm of the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils.
It has shown that the congress can
think for itself and stand ready to
take the consequences.

Last week Student Congress
finally made up its mind what to do
about the Homecoming mess of next
fall and we are proud of the congress.
We are not being facetious, we
are quite honestly and frankly proud
of the congress for the independence
it showed in making its decision.
Shortly before the congress met,
the Interfraternity Council president
earnestly assured us that his organization was in control of SC and it
would merely rubber-stamthe decisions of the IFC. Last Monday's vote
showed that if anyone is in control
of the congress, it is not IFC nor
is it the Panhellenic Council.
The congress vice president announced that the Interfraternity
in favor of
Council had voted 11-moving Homecoming back to the
Florida State game. A congress representative said that Panhellenic was
also in favor of rescheduling Homecoming for the Florida State contest.
Everyone now knows what Student Congress did. After hearing what
the mouthpieces of the Greek system
had to say, it promptly turned
around and went on record as favoring the Homecoming date as originally scheduled.
We, along with many others,

talked to her, the facts of her
flight from Hollywood and her
personal history, the profile of a personality begins to eineige.
The salient details of that profile
would include her wretched childhood, her native intelligence and
mother wit, three marriage failures,
her overpowering insecurity in the
face of notoriety and "success"; her
determination to make of herself
something that corresponds to her
insights and her image of herself, her
daily battle to overcome her considerable handicaps.
Her comedy is lolstered by the
sort of insight into human character
that adds a pathetic dimension to
laughter. In all her films, behind the
familiar mask and the celebrated
facade of flesh there is revealed a
simple fact: within the most "stupid"
person there lives, quite simply, a
human being an individual who has
needs, aspirations, hungers, and a
longing for understanding, respect
and love that cannot lje denied.

for being late or "uncooperative" or
not properly "grateful" to the industry. Of course her universal appeal is
a sharp bone in the dry throats of
the more dessicated (or obese) harpies of the gassip columns, but more
important are other facts: she has not
played the Hollywood game since
her earliest days; she has not in years
lent herself to the whole-clotpublicity which provides these parasites
with their filet mignon and champagne; she does not call up Dear

Comedienne, Dramatist

Marilyn Monroe

one student is responsible for this
crime. Now comes a note through the
official grapevine stating that those
students who do not fork over a buck
"will be dropped from the roll." The
little slip also reasons, "Wouldn't it be
a pity to lose a semester's work over
a dollar?" More than a pity, it would
be outlandish robbery no matter if
one pays, or is dropped.
If a total stranger said to me, "Give
I want it," he would

certainly hesitate in paying. I don't

Marilyn Monroe today is not only
the American cinema's most glamorous star; she is also our leading
comedienne and a dramatic artist
in her own right. This contention, of
course, has been (and is being) disputed not only by those who preside
over the gossip columns, but also
by presumably responsible critics in
highbrow journals.
What changed her from a
ine-made
product of the glamor
factory which inflated (and punctured) so many Barbara (and Hedy)
Lamarrs, Jean Ilarlows, Kim Novaks,
Jane Russells (and Mansfields) and
liita Hay worths? An examination of
Marilyn Monroe's history will amply
answer the question.
It is difficult, as always, to separate the real Monroe from the
commodity, but it
can be done. For she is a human being, a woman as complicated as they
tome; she has a history of suffering,
aspiration and achievement htat has
little to do with her screen image, as
originally created and promoted by
Hollywood but a great deal to do
with her potential.
If you discard most ok the fluff
that has been heaped alout her in
millions of words, certain facts important to an understanding of the
actress and the person inevitably
emerge.
Her expressed interest in serious
dramatic material has been the occasion for ridicule by the Broadway and

More than 40 students of the second
floor of Donovan Hall have been notified that they must pay $1 apiece for
a broken "Exit" sign, although only

our way ol life, whether the Communists put their goal into action
or merely talk about it.
Mr. Mtllcnbruch has put his finger
on the matter nicely in his letter.

And still more important: she
broke the Hollywood code, married
a man held in contempt of Congress,
stood by him while he was smeared
all over the land and was finally vindicated by the higher courts. For
there is no doubt that Miller's contempt is no small part of the contempt
in which both she and America's

have been hilariously funny, but she
was also close to tragedy. From behind her absurdly tacky clothes and
deliberately oerpainted face Monroe projected perfectly the uneducated, manhandled woman who is a
lady beneath her vulgar exterior and
who demands respect and gets it.
Her "showgirl" (The l'rince) was
startling for more than one fact: the
fir.it is that Sir Laurence Olivier's
prestige was such that she was in
awe of him and he was apparently
able to have the script tailored to suit
his own talents and demands yet
Monroe romped off with the picture.
The second: her showgirl revealed a
delicious personality, a pervasive
charm, and acting intelligence that
rates among the best, for it was an
performance of a standardized role.

Despite an impoverished script in
Wildtr's Some Like It Hot,
Monroe achieved oth low and high
comedy in more than one sequence,
through the manipulation of her odd
combination of wide-eyeinnocence,
sexual sophistication anil basic decencyprojected simultaneously. And
although Yves Montand dominated
the Jerry Wald production of Norhit's
man Krasna's tired fairy-talMake hove, he could not diminish
Monroe's charm, which is beginning
to match that of the late Kay Kendall.
