He cited Washington Uni versity in St. Louis where they have used closed circuit television “very effectively” in teaching basic mathematics courses. Another question which brought Delaplane to the floor was his explanation of the current ruling requiring all juniors in the School of Arts and Sciences to pass an English proficiency exam prior to graduation. Assuring Council members this exam is not designed to fill English classrooms, hut rather to remedy “embarrassing situations which might occur after graduation” Delaplane told of several students who “had gone through college without being able to write a com plete sentence.” “Emphasis will be placed on cor rect spelling and the ability to express oneself in clear writing on the exam,” he said. The exam will be given to juniors each spring effective this year. A report was pi’esented to the Council by Bennet Ragsdale, chair man of the Campus Improvements Committee, and the recommend ations were passed by the council members.

McLeroy Staff Photographers Jamo Powell, Tom Montgomery Staff Cartoonists Nudged Out FORT SMITH, Ark. ) — The “nudging system” of making money may be old hat to police, but it was a new gimmick to W. H. Bruce of Fort Smith. Bruce laid $400 in cash on the table while he counted silver and made out a de posit slip in a Fort Smith bank. Someone nudged him and he moved over, continuing to count the silver. Then he filled out a deposit slip and turned to find his $400 and the nudger gone. Police said the nudger is a cousin of the pickpocket. AGGIE WIFE (Continued from Page 1) The letter: Dear James Provard, “After reading your ‘unique’ story in the Commentator, I was moved to write you this note— “Perhaps your experiences qual ify you to write your dull story which describes nothing but cheap, every-day affair, completely point less; that is, unless you think ‘you’d better take advantage of every woman you can if you can find their weaknesses’. “This isi not a letter to preach that you will be condemned to hell for having written such a thing, but I wonder what purpose your story served? Was it amusing? Did it have some lesson? Was it really a ‘unique’ story ? “It seems to me you just wasted your talents, Buddy, and also that you have a very unwholesome idea of women and sex. “Do you ever think about the good in sex? Yes, sex is fine— It has inspired our greatest men; but they were great only through the proper indulgences that God gave them—their wives. Why not get your Aggie friend’s minds off of ‘stealing . . . .’ onto ‘making minds/ “You don’t know a damn thing about sex. “Sex with love is the most thrilling kind there is.” The letter writer’s name was not signed. A carbon copy of the letter was sent to Commentator Editor John Smith. Provard defended his article as writing that had a tremendous amount of work and study behind it, in a letter to Smith. Provard expressed his aim to write professionally someday. Another of his stories, “The Scan dalous Night” sold to a profession al publishing concern. Provard told of being labeled as an “unwholesome” person by ‘a‘n agency of the college.” A carbon copy of Provard’s let ter to Smith was sent to the Dean of Arts and Sciences. Smith commented that “L’Af faire Unique” was the best mater ial the Commentator had publish ed in recent times. (Ed. Note: Portions of the let ter were too obscene to be print ed.)
