Hankins Calls Book 'Study Of Business'
"Cash McCall" is interesting not because of its literary excellence, but because it is a commentary on the American business scene, John Hankins, professor of English, said at the book review Tuesday in the Student Union.
The book is a study of big business, meaning corporations, and of a promoter of big business, Cash McCall.

THE TRUE AND TYPICAL CASE OF CHATSWORTH OSCEOLA
The school year draws to an end, and everybody is wondering about the future - everybody, that is, except the engineers. Today there is not a single engineer on a single campus who has not received a dozen fabulous offers from a dozen corporations.
All this, of course, you know. But do you know just how fabulous these offers are? Do you have any idea how wildly the corporations are competing? Let me cite for you the true and typical case of Chatsworth Osceola, a true and typical senior.
Chatsworth, walking across the M.I.T. campus one day last week, was hailed by a man parked at the curb in a yellow convertible studded with precious gemstones. "Hello," said the man. "I am Darien T. Sigafoos of the Sigafoos Bearing and Bushing Company. Do you like this car?"
"Yeah, hey," said Chatsworth.
"It's yours," said Sigafoos.
"Thanks, hey," said Chatsworth.
"Do you like Philip Morris?" said Sigafoos.
"Of corris!" said Chatsworth.
"Here is a pack," said Sigafoos. "And a new pack will be delivered to you at six-hour intervals every day as long as you shall live."
"Does your wife like Philip Morris?" said Sigafoos.
"I'm not married," said Chatsworth.
"Thanks. hev." said Chatsworth.
"Do you want to be?" said Sigafoos.
"What American boy doesn't?" said Chatsworth.
Sigafoos pressed a button on the dashboard of the convertible, and the trunk opened up, and out came a nubile maiden with golden hair, flawless features, a perfect disposition, and the appendix already removed. "This is Laurel Geduldig," said Sigafoos. "Would you like to marry her?"
"Is her appendix out?" said Chatsworth.
"Yes." said Sigafoos.
"Okay." said Chatsworth.
"Congratulations," said Sigafoos. "And for the happy bride, a pack of Philip Morris every six hours for the rest of her life."
"Thanks. hey." said Laurel.
"Now then," said Sigafos to Chatsworth, "let's get down to business. My company will start you at $45,000 a year. You will retire at full salary upon reaching the age of 28. When you start work, we will give you a three-story house made of bullion, complete with a French Provincial swimming pool. We will provide sitter service for all your children until they are safely through puberty. We will guarantee to keep your teeth in good repair; also the teeth of your wife and children unto the third generation. We will send your dentist a pack of Philip Morris every six hours as long as he shall live... Now, son, think carefully about this offer. Meanwhile, here is one thousand dollars in small, unmarked bills, which places you under no obligation whatsoever."
"It certainly seems like a fair offer," said Chatsworth. But there is something you should know. I am not an engineer. In fact, I don't go to M.I.T. I am a poetry major at Harvard. I just came over here on a bird walk."
"Oh," said Sigafoos.
"I guess I don't get to keep this money and the convertible and Laurel now, do I?" said Chatsworth.
"Of course you do," said Sigafoos. "And if you'd like the job, my offer still stands."

The makers of Philip Morris, who sponsor this column, are delighted to know that times are so good for the engineers. To make times even better - for the engineers and everybody else - here is a gentle suggestion: Philip Morris, of corris!
