              the MAROON Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, January 13, 1961 No. 11 Vol. XXXVIII Forum Lecture EUGENE BURDICK Noted Co-Author To Speak Jan. 30 The Loyola University Forum will present Eugene Burdick, co-author of the best-selling novel "The Ugly American," in the third program of the 1960-61 Forum series. Mr. Burdick will speak on "The Ugly American Revisited" Jan. 30 at 8 p.m. in Holy Name Auditorium on Cromwell Place, adjacent to the Loyola campus. " 'The Ugly American' has been called the most significant book on American foreign policy in the past 50 years," said the Rev. Thomas Clancy, S.J., Forum moderator.Over two million copies of the book, which Mr. Burdick wrote in collaboration with William J. Lederer, are printed in English and it has been translated into 14 foreign languages. Eugene Burdick is presently an associate professor of political science at the University of California. He received his A.B. degree from Stanford University and his Ph.D. from Oxford University where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar. The noted author has published stories in various periodicals such as "Harpers," "Collier's," "The New Yorker," and the "New York Times Sunday Magazine." His novel, "The Ninth Wave," was a Book of the Month Club selection in 1956. Burdick co-edited the book "American Voting Behavior" with Dr. A. J. Brodbeck. "The Ugly American" remains Mr. Burdick's greatest publishing success. Because of long experience in the underdeveloped nations of Asia and his keen political insight, the book was an instant success. As a result of the controversy about American foreign policy in the underdeveloped countries, President Eisenhower set up the Draper Commission to investigate the effect of our foreign aid spending. Interest was sustained during the recent presidential campaign when both candidates mentioned the book and the problems of foreign policy it raised. The film rights to "The Ugly American" have been purchased and Marlon Brando has been signed for the leading role. Though not a Catholic, Mr. Burdick discusses in "The Ugly American" the role of American missionaries in the underdeveloped countries and commends them for their service to the free world. ... the inside story College Students Must Wake Up Or Be Ready To Duck Fast By BERT EMKE "Cuba Attacks U.S. Naval Base At Guantanamo""American Aircraft Strafe Castro Forces""Russia Threatens Armed Intervention" "U.S. Marines Launch Amphibious Invasion"CC9 *} tt These five hypothetical (Thank God!) headlines would cause outright panic in even the most uninformed clod if they were suddenly spread black and bold across five successive daily front pages. A person need not be up to the second no foreign affairs to realize that U.S.-Cuban relations are just plain unfriendly; but it is an unfortunate fact that some Americans, a number of college students included, require nothing less than an outbreak of armed hostilities to jolt them into wondering "Wha hoppened?" Commenting on these "sleeping beauties," the Rev. Thomas Clancy, S.J., professor'of political science, states that Loyola students are in the storm center of important national events and it's time we woke up. For some constructive criticism and good, solid reading turn to— Page 5 Editor Investigates American 'Softism' When a comparison is made between the "average U.S. citizen" and the "Russian man-on-the-- street," we have a self-critical tendency, I believe, to picture a rockhard Soviet, somewhat squat but completely devoid of fat, standing next to a tall, overweight American.Probing into the question "Have Americans gone soft?", Kit Harger comes to the happy conclusion that we're still a hardy lot, in spirit if not in muscle.

Physics Dept. To Sponsor Weekly Films The Physics department has scheduled a seminar course which is held every Thursday from 3 till 5 p.m. in the physics building. The Michelson Physics Society will do the programming for the seminars. So far the seminars have consisted of films and lectures given by professors and students. Films have been shown every day this week at noon in the physics building. Sponsored by Michelson, the films were a series on radio isotopes. The seminar last week was given by Devron Thibodeaux, senior, on "Vapor and Pressure Relation in the Liquefaction of Helium." He is now working on this project, along with Darryl Boudreaux, senior, on a National Science Foundation grant. The helium liquefier they are using is an old Collins Helium Liquifier, received second - hand from Rice University. It is referred to as the "White Elephant." The machine was broken when the department received it, and Thibodeaux and Boudreaux are in the process of repairing it.
