At Other Colleges
Student
Files
Council
iunction
The student council at SMU has filed an injunction against
the school paper, The SMU Campus. The purpose of the in
junction is to keep the paper from reporting “off-the-record
remarks from open meetings of the council.
Council members say they have the “discretionary power
to separate the extraneous, irrelevant gossip from the official
decisions; and therefore we take this
action to insure that the worthless
gossip will be excluded from the stu
dent paper and only the official, per
tinent matters will be printed.”
Bravo for the SMU student coun
cil! They have plunged forward (or
is it backward) to reach a new height
in brazen stupidity.
Those students at SMU who are
supposed to be the leaders of the cam
pus are making a move to place free
dom on the same basis it was in 1700.
Every once in a while some dicta
tor makes an attempt to supress the
news so vital to a democratic nation.
So far the press of America has been
able to suppress these people. The
SMU Campus is fighting for the free
dom battle now. Let’s hope it wins.
Holder
A student from Germany attended the University of Tex
as for a year. He left and wrote a letter to the Daily Texan
in which he gave a few of his ideas concerning the American
methods of education.
He said he liked his stay at the university but he also
named a few things he didn’t like. He said.
“I missed a great deal of the academic freedom that has
become a sine quo non at German universities; I felt that the
average student is—as far as his academic capability is con
cerned—somewhat below the standard of his European col
league ; and finally, I could not ignore the face that the whole
system of supervision and assignments tends to stifle the
spirit of independent inquiry, at least on the lower levels of
the undergraduate school.
“And there are other detrimental effects of the mass edu
cation which will not fail to come to surface under a system
which is in danger of evaluating a college education in terms
of course credits.”
whose last party led to his torture
in an army prison, makes his fame
as a crooner seem like years of
wasted time.
Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed
both give the best performance of
^their Hollywood careers.
Filmed on Location
Filmed on location in Hawaii,
the film moves through scenes of
outstanding realism.
The boredom of khaki clad
routine; the honky tonk night life
of pre-war Honolulu; a knife fight
in a darkened alley; the December
7th strafing of Schofield Barracks
and a love scene on a breaker
swept beach are top examples of
cinema art.
The movie’s quiet but forceful
dialogue spoken against a mini
mum of background music conveys
an atmosphere of impending disas
ter which finally explodes in a
violent ending.
“From Here to Eternity” is one
of the rare movies today that can
be called great. It should be re
membered for as long as its title
suggests.

Hundreds of fish do an under
water dance to the Blue Danube in
“Under the Red Sea” now showing
at Guion hall.
The movie is a documentary of
undersea life filmed by explorer
Hans Hass.
Fish React
One of the show’s unusual scenes
is an experiment to see if fish
react to sound. Hass places an
underwater loud speaker on the
oceqn’s floor and broadcasts sounds
ranging- from a woman’s screams to
bebop. The fish never change their
regular actions.
But when Hass plays The Blue
Danube the fish respond
mediately. They start swimming
around the loud speaker in time to
the music
