nists took advantage of his resulting confusion and loneliness and refilled his mind with new, pro-Communist loyalies.
"The vacuum left by the emptying of the individual's mind of previous beliefs and loyalties itself becomes a positive factor in the individual's search to refill the void," he said.
"Studies have shown," he said "that the greater the amount of self-commitments, the harder it is for the individual to recant.
"In the controlled environment of the prisoner-of-war camps, the only 'friends' the prisoner had were the Communists."
AFTER THE COMMUNISTS HAD indoctrinated the prisoners, Prof. Dance said, they forced him to reinforce his new loyalties.
Prof. Dance told his audience that an individual's defense against brainwashing is based upon three factors: knowledge, truth and maturity.
"The Communists forced the prisoner-of-war to re-affirm his new allegiances by constantly getting him to 'confess' and to sign various anti-American petitions."
Brainwashing has probably been used since the days of the Inquisition, he said, but it has become widely known only since the Korean War. Now that it is known, he continued, defenses can be designed against it.
In addition to knowing the brain-washing cycle, he said, Americans must be "mature in democracy and in their private lives."
THEY MUST SEARCH for truth, he said, and then be willing to "engage in individual propagandizing themselves, to their neighbors, family and friends."
The Communists are very effective in propagandizing, Prof. Dance said, and owe much of their success to this factor. As an example of Communist propaganda, he read the following 1950 Christmas message from Communist guerrillas in North Viet Nam to the Catholic population of South Viet Nam:
"One thousand, nine hundred and fifty years ago, a simple infant of the people was born with the name of Jesus. His mother, the Bible said, was a landless peasant, oppressed and robbed by the landowners and was obliged to give birth in a cold and desolate stable.
"During his infancy (and) until the day he became a man, Jesus had neither money, nor property, nor rice fields, and only lived by his hands. During all his life he struggled with all his force against the landowners, feudalists, bourgeoisie and exploiters. During all his life he defended the people and was resolutely ranked with the working class...
"Unfortunately, among his 12 cadres of confidants there was a man called Judas who sold him for a few cents to the clique of reactionaries, all like the (reactionaries) of today, (who) under the mask of religion, (betray) God and their fatherlands to serve the Colonialist imperialists.
"Jesus, making a sacrifice of his life, died on the cross, but his precepts of love for the fatherland, equality of men and fraternity still echo throughout the world. All our compatriots . . . are united for resistance. We support the agrarian policy in order to give the land to the person who cultivates it. Thus we apply exactly the precepts of Jesus and we sincerely respect his will..."

(Continued from page 1)
partment is in charge of the committee of health, Leaf and Housing. The Student Health committee is composed of faculty and students, the other two committees are student only.
The department of Student Activities has the Social committee and the Publications committee. The membership of the former is all student while the latter is a faculty-student committee.
A few of the other faculty-student committees which control activities are Commencement, Freshman Week (Orientation) and Eligibility, the Athletic Seating Board and the Union Operating Board.
SEVERAL student committees are the Campus Chest, Traditions, and the Student Athletic Seating Board. The student body president also appoints the members of the student
court, the student-run judiciary division of government.
The ASC is composed of two delegates — one man and one woman — from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, one representative from each of the other nine schools and representatives from the student living districts. The student living districts are represented proportionately to the number of ballots cast in a general election.
The ASC has three standing committees — Committee on Committees and Legislation, Elections and the Finance and Auditing committees — composed of ASC members.
The Finance and Auditing committee has general supervision of all financial records of all student organizations subject to the ASC. The Elections committee is charged with conducting the primary and general elections, which includes setting dates and counting ballots.
Student government, through these committees, regulates the extra-curricular activities of the students by selecting the films and speakers for the film and lecture series, conducting the Campus Chest campaign, and working with the faculty on the semester calendar of events.
Campus politics is the segment of University life which offers the student opportunities for practice and application of the principles of government through student organizations.

Tear Jerkers
HOLLYWOOD - (UPI) - Director Peter Glenville has a surefire success formula for actors and movies - make the female audience cry.
"The more tears one extracts from female patrons, the more dollars he attracts to the box-office.
"Show me a soggy (hand) kerchief and I will show you a satisfied movie-goer." Glenville directed Tennessee Williams' "Summer and Smoke."

Girl Watcher's Guide
Presented by Pall Mall Famous Cigarettes
Girl watchers are honorable men
LESSON 6-Who may watch
Any male is eligible to become a girl watcher. There is no age limit, although most girl watchers are over ten and under one hundred and four. There are no height or weight requirements, although taller men enjoy an obvious advantage at crowded parties. The only strict requirement is one of character. The girl watcher is a man of
honor. Since he can't possibly take notes, as the bird watcher does, we must rely on his word. Therefore, when an experienced girl watcher tells you he saw nine beautiful girls while on his way to class, he saw nine beautiful girls. And when he tells you his Pall Mall is the cigarette of the century, believe him. It is.
