Where it's at
By Jan Vandeventer and Will Hardesty Kansan Staff Reporters
All quiet on the social front this weekend. A good portion of the houses and halls on the Hill are spending a quiet weekend preparing for the next two weekends and the formals.
Downtown, the scene looks like this;
At the Varisty, "The Trip" is about an acid experience starring Peter Fonda.
The Granada will show "The Sand Pebbles" starring Steve McQueen all weekend.
The Sunset offers "Born Losers"—a story of the motorcycle enthusiasts and their wild ways
—and "What's Up Tiger Lilly?" with Woody Allen Friday night. Saturday night, it's "What's Up Front," "Diary of a Bachelor," and "Laurel and Hardy—Laughing Twenties."
On the Greek scene, the Phi Gams have invited the Sigma Chis to have a barn party with them this weekend.
The weekly flick at Dyche this week as "Love with a Proper Stranger" starring Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen.
Saturday, the ROTC boys will be on maneuvers—social maneuvers. Scabbard and Blade will sponsor the Military Ball. The theme will be "Blue Grotto."
Swift no dirty old man or maniac,prof says
Jonathan Swift wasn't a dirty old man, wasn't obsessed with women's bodies and wasn't mad. So there.

"More rubbish has been printed about Swift than about any other writer in the English language," said Murreel D. Clubb, professor of English, Thursday in a Humanities Lecture commemorating the 300th anniversary of Swift's birth
Clubb ticked off his points.
Swift is called a cynic, but what writer wouldn't be after studying human idiocy?
Where would a cynic get the examples of human benevolence in "Gulliver's Travels"?
Swift was accused of having a dirty mind, but "waged a long
feud with prudes," who could read dirt into anything. He once called Queen Anne "The Royal Prude." Clubb said.
So much for the myths, Clubb said. On the good side, Swift helped build an alms house for widows, ran a cathedral and helped found a charity school.
He even left his money to build St. Patrick's Hospital, to relieve "the most miserable in Ireland."
Clubb said if Swift were living today he would have a field day writing about such topics as "E.S.P. Politics," "The Art of Political Lying," "The Modern Breast-Fed Male." or "One Person Fighting Another on the Street for Peace."
