This practice has been adhered to even more strictly when the content of the particular letter was critical of the editor or of the paper itself. But an unsigned letter is the most difficult thing to countenance in newspaper work. Perhaps nothing carries less weight than the opinions of those who have neither the integrity nor the courage of conviction to ex- press that opinion openly and honestly. Thus, we have not printed the letters we have received which did not have any signature or had a fictitious one. Consequent- ly, innumerable allegations, and an occassional good idea have gone unseen by the readers. This week, how- ever, we print a letter with a signature as fictitious as any we have received. We print it for the simple reason that we wish to comment on it and the things for which it stands. The letter concerned an editorial written for Tuesday's edition. The editorial was on concert be- havior and was written by a member of the staff who needs no Thesaurus or sentences full of alliterative gib- berish to cover up the inanties in her thoughts. We were fortunate enough to attend many of the functions during IFC weekend, and were extremely pleased to find that almost everyone behaved like ladies and gentlemen. Therefore, we were shocked to get a let- ter advocating rudeness and utter disregard for the niceties of public behavior?and this especially in view of the fact that fraternities and sororities were founded originally with the intentions of promoting good fellow- ship and good behavior. We refuse, furthermore, to belie.e that the ideal has changed so much. Good man- ners are still good manners, whether they be found in Carnegie Hall, a barn or a warehouse. And if the indi- vidual who writes under the name Lance Carl believes differently, perhaps the fraternity of which he is a mem- ber should consider more carefully to decide whether he is worthy of that membership. His letter hints that he may have been reared in a barn and perhaps should still be stabled there. ATTITUDES OF RESPECT One of the great old maxims of American myth is "Age and position command respect This is certainly not just an American phenomenon. No culture steps itself so completely in the worship of age as does that of China. But at times this clinging to admiration and respect for age spirals to ridiculous heights. Recently, we heard someone make the statement that, So and So deserves respect merely because he is in a supposedly important position and is an older man. To some degree, this is true. Perhaps any individual who has attained a certain importance of position deserves an initial respect. As a young man, we would consider our- selves rude, impertinent and a number of other less delicate adjectives if we were to treat an initial or casual acquaintance disrespectfully. To treat someone of greater age and of higher position disrespectfully in the same casual circumstances would be even more oprobrious. But that is as far as it need be carried. When operating on the business or professional levels of relationships, we fail to understand why any- one, regardless of age or position should be treated with any respect or deference other than that which his ac- tions merit. We may treat a liar,thief or sneak respect- fully when we only meet him casually simply because it is the polite thing to do; but it becomes a matter of absurdity to treat the same individual with awe and respect when forced into a working relationship with him. If said individual deserves to be treated disre- spectfully and with a wary eye, then why should he be treated in any other way. Certainly, there are exceptions. In some cases it may be extremely impolitic to treat an individual dis- respectfully. Just as the Old Testament worshippers of Jahweh lived in utter fear of the consequences for dis- respect towards Him, it might be illadvised to treat one's superior in the military or even in business with anything less than extreme caution?projecting, of course, an attitude of great respect, despite the superior's inadequacies, vagaries or improbities. But this is a de- mand of expediency and not of some ideal, aphoristic nonsense. Consequently, we believe that in treatment of one's acquaintances one should exercise the same rationale that should guide him in most of his other actions.

LETTER Truth From Youth To the Editor: I would like to suggest a new course for universities all over the world. It would be an elective course in deep investigation for ,the TRUE FACTS in current events. The search for truth is one of the most important things in our existanee. What better place to start than in our universities? Many of our news media have an ax to grind ana spoon feed us the news of the way they want us to see it. University students are the cream of the crop. They have no ax to grind, no boss to please, no deadline to mee Their minds are still fresh, open, clear and strong. What better people could wa choose to find the truth? And (they have the facilities of the gieat universities to help them. The course would last one se- mester, if possible, but would be fluid and flexible and end when the class agTeed to end. Some classes might last 15 minutes and some 3 hours. It might be neces- sary to take the class on a field trip or meet a speakers plane at 2:30 ajm. Each course would' choose one or perhaps two subjects to re- search. (Every possible fact and proof would be run down. Ex- hibits would be brought in, impor- tant (people would ibe asked to speak, discussions would be held. The univetrsities could grant money to the course so that one student could be sent to the loca-
