hix nix sex but ok hex the success of quintain has prompted a group of thoughtful undergraduates to establish an even newer literary magazine sextain at least that is what it was called until yesterday when the board of publications objected to the suggestiveness of the title at an emergency meeting last night the editors after agreeing with the department of public re lations that all poetry is suggestive anyhow suggested hextain as a compromise that would demonstrate our solidarity with the natives of this region no action has yet been taken but already contributions are flooding in the first issue will consist of a poem by professor bewley entitled general patton among the night ingales see dean page 6 see praises page 6 civic authority and responsibility by an imaginative extension of this practice and the principles which underlie it the editors of the brown and white have invited members of the uni versity faculty to edit and publish this issue of the paper houseparty is a time when good feelings a bound when burning student-administration or student-faculty issues are put aside and so the newspaper's responsibilities to the university com munity are somewhat less than usual thus the necessary sacrifice in editorial standards may be made most safely at this time university professors are notoriously a secluded lot they spend most of their time in libraries and laboratories with occasional intermissions in the class room they write and speak more than most people see profs page 3 for some time it has been the custom in a num ber of communities

posts and under the supervision of their elders discharge the duties of these civic offices no one argues that local government is ad ministered with greater skill or efficiency on these days in fact it is only at times when these two qualities can be temporarily sacrificed that the young people take office the justification for the practice is to be found rather in modern educational theory which
