Professor Fritsch a lights out program the largo I minority voiced their approval of a four to six week period of en forced lights out to help students adjust to college life and thehabits of daytime study Objections to this orientation were that the period would be too short to form any lasting habits it would give junior residents the responsibilities of policemen it would only delay the individuals own development ofresponsibility and it would ignore the variant in personalities and habits College Helps Adjustment To the charge that the College cares too much about theindividuals adjustment Miss Dolliverreplied that the College is interested in helping the student through her first year by sparing as much ad justment as possible She pointed out that the adjustment would be easier to make after the student became acquained with the Col lege All faculty members stressed that they desired to abide by any decision that the Board decided to make and expressed their hesi tancy to voice personal opinions Noise Problems Mrs Blanche Loomis Talcotts house director commented that since the discontinuance of lights out the noise in all the dorms had increased Although several at the session felt the orientation week for freshmen was faulty and others placed the cause of the increased noise with the junior residents the group pointed out the impossibili ty of sleeping studying and liv ing in a dorm as a home all at the same time and stillmaintaining absolute quiet All believing lights out had a value agreed that its only value was to help freshmen adjustalthough the lasting value of this training was questioned Several cited examples of a successful sinkorswim type program which these people felt had a morelasting effect than the short period of regulated hours Lights out was a mandatory program by which all lights were required to be off at 1030 or 1045 on weekdays The system wasdiscontinued at the end of firstsemester last year I ncrease emphasized that on the whole the Teacher of Righteousness could not be compared with Jesus and that this fact is what prevents the Qumran sect and Christianity from ever becoming completelyidentical The scroll he stated willnever destroy Christianity Professor May discussed theinfluence of the discovery of the scrolls on the Old Testament Their great value he stated is in the fact that they add to theJewish background of Christianity and to the understanding of the Old Testament as a manuscript Old Scrolls Burned He explained that scholars burned all Old Testament scrolls as they began to wear out andalways kept clean manuscripts so that historians compiling new works would always have fresh texts from which to copy As aresult there are no very ancient manuscripts he pointed out the oldest complete Bible dates from the tenth century AD While a few errors were made in the copying of thesemanuscripts the scrolls can still be of some help in clarifying the Old Testament text Professor Fritsch held He added that they should have been considered more in the writing of the New RevisedStandard Version of the Bible Congressmen The cast of T S Eliots Murder in the Cathedral

publication The StudentsMonthly a religious political andliterary magazine The magazine was far from striking with dull green covers minute print and a double column arrangement on each page Technical Difficulties Aside from the technicaldifficulties which certainly cannot be blamed on the magazine thepublication was of high merit Many of its articles dealt with religious subjects and the influence

the end of its shortexistence The Students Monthlyrelented a bit from its somber gray mood and introduced spicysayings designed no doubt torelieve some of the monotony toincrease student interest and to point out morals Minds like Aladdins Lamp in the Arabian tales went a particularlyappropriate one often need but to be rubbed and the genii rise who hold the keys of the earth The Students Monthly provided the College with a wide variety of articles and literary styles and maintained a literary level not soon to be reached again The Oberlin Review began as a news magazine In type ofcontent and character it has not changed much since its first issue in 1874 The principle changes are those involving cost layout and frequency of publication Humor Magazine At the turn of the century in 1899 a particularly unorthodox magazine appeared sponsored by the very energetic class of 1902 Its name was TheNaughtyTwoTooter Promising not to encroach upon Review territory The NaughtyTwoTooter proceeded to print highly enjoyable articles about class events and to establish a humor section Of nooutstanding literary merit TheNaughtyTwoTooter deserves recognition if just for its energeticproduction and
