The Boy With Green Hair is a very unusual story. Although there are at least two morals involved in the theme, I for one atn not certain that I understood any of them. ' i ]j ' The plot opens with tho bald- headed Dean sitting, in a police station refusing to tell his name, place of residence, or what hap pened to his hair. A sympathetic doctor, Robert Ryan! finally get* Dean to tell his story. Utilising flash backs, the cam era reveals how Dean was orphan ed at an early age, shuttled among various relations, and eventually ended up living witfe “Grumps, Fat O’Brien, an ex-vaudville per former and now a singing waiter. Since Dean at last feels wan ted, everything goes well until one day he learns the Up-tO-now concealed fact that his parents are dead and that they were kill ed in the war. Before he had fully recovered from this shock, he awakens to find that his hair h^s changed to a brilliant hue of Think Of This ■ “Get wisdom, get understand ing: forget it not, neither decline from the words of my mouth,” Proverbs 4:5. All of us in a college community are intensely concerned with try ing to get an education. We hope that such will lead to wisdom, al though just' unrelated knowledge is not necessarily such. The next, and ultimate step, is understanding that which we learn. Only as man routs his thinking firmly in God, and relates alt-of the knowledge which he gains to this one central fact of God and hjs concern for mankind, can there be meaning in a mksc or fads. A > reprimand as the field manual on leadership and drill also seema to be. Officers are supposed to set examples for their men to follow, You may or may not withhold my name. Suit yourself.

Tbe normal human reaction 6f dislik ing and distrusting everything dif ferent is brought out quite well in jtjhese scenes. , / j.TT ?• \J/ ‘ One remark, which certainly hit a lot of nails upon their re spective heads, was said by a clasHinute of Dean’s. Subject to a world of intcrpretalionn, the remark was, “How’d you 1 like your sister to marry a boy with green hair?” Eventually the reason for Dvaii’s change of hair-coloring is brought out. The movie proves to be rather slow in parts. Never-the-leas, the story doesn’t become too-cmotional as it might well have done. It’s Very difficult to either condemn or recommend The Boy With Green Hair. Each had better judge for himself the worth of this movie. -Tiild’s Death Raises lotel Death Toll to 75 v* ■ I EFFINGHAM, 111., April 10 — <A > >—The toll of dead and missing in Tuesday’s fire at St. Anthony’s Hospital rose! to 75 Sunday with the death of Richard Lee Scamma, eleven.
