Indonesian Journalist Studies American College Papers
Mangoensapoetro Soelistio, Indonesian journalist and lawyer, said Friday that the United States should initiate a program of exchange publications, chiefly because too many Americans know so little about Indonesia.
He visited the University as part of a tour of leading schools and departments of journalism in the United States.
Mr. Soelisi is director of a student-operated magazine in Jakarta, capital of Indonesia. Mr. Soelisi said the main difference between his publication and American college newspapers was that the Indonesian magazine covered news concerning the entire community, such as building developments, problems of business, and economics, whereas most student newspapers emphasize campus news.
He said that he has been impressed throughout his tour by the manner in which students and instructors work so pleasantly in the U.S. He said he hoped to collect helpful ideas through inspecting American student publications.
While at the University, Mr. Soelistio visited classrooms and observed editorial, advertising, and mechanical methods of the University Daily Kansan. He will next visit the University of Minnesota.
Salk Vaccine Future Seen As 'Bright'
DETROIT — (U.P.)— Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele said today the "prospects are bright" that Salk vaecine will bring paralytic polio under "effective control" in 1956 and the years ahead.
He also predicted the development of vaccines against many other virus diseases "in the next few years." He said the government already is testing one such experimental serum.
He said preliminary studies show that the polio rate among vaccinated children this year was "25 to 50 per cent" below the rate among non-vaccinated children.

College Ponders Five-Day Week
WALLA WALLA, Wash —(I.P).
—Although still in purely the discussion stage, much research on the possibilities and practicability of Whitman College changing to a five-day academic week. Prof. Thomas Howells, director of the curriculum, and Registrar Alta Glenny, have devised a workable plan, designed to make more economical use of the academic day. It includes fuller use of all morning hours, and more use of the three afternoon hours.
At present there are eight morning sequences for three-hour classes, but Prof. Howells points out that effective use is made of only five of these eight. Under the new plan, there would only be six three-hour morning sequences, but effective use would be made of all of them, thus gaining one sequence in the long run.
This rearrangement would leave the 11 o'clock hour on Thursday free from classes entirely, making possible a regular time set aside for assembles and other extra-curricular activities.
THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SMOOCH
Young men today have abandoned this gambit, and I must say I don't understand why. Nothing is quite as effective as poetry for moving a difficult girl. What's more, poems are ridiculously easy to write. The range of subject matter is endless. You can write a poem about a girl's hair, her eyes, her nose, her lips, her teeth, her walk, her talk, her clothes, her shoes anything at all. Indeed, one of my most lambent love lyrics was called To Maud's Pencil Box. It went like this:
Back in my courting days (the raccoon coat was all the rage, everybody was singing Good Morning, Mr. Zip, Zip, Zip and young Bonaparte had just left Corsica) back, I say, in my courting days, the standard way to melt a girl's heart was to write poetry to her.
In your dear little leatherette pencil box Are pencils of yellow and red, And if you don't tell me you love me soon, I'll hit you on top of the lead.
Honesty compels me to admit that this poem fell short of success. Nothing daunted, I wrote another one. This time I pulled a switch; I threatened myself instead of Maud.
And tell me you'll be mine.
Oh, Mand, pray stop this drivel
And tell me you a be mine,
For my sweetbreads they do shrivel
And wind around my spine.
My heart doth cease its beating.
My spleen uncoils and warps.
My liver stones secreting.
Soon I needs be a corpse.
When this heart-rending ballad failed to move Maud, I could only conclude that she was cruel and heartless and that I was better off without her. Accordingly, I took back my Hi-Y pin, bid her adieu, and have not clapped eyes upon her since. Last I heard of her, she was in North Scituate, Rhode Island, working as a clam sorter.
~there's not telling where it would have ended, it's still hasn't been drawn!
But I did not mourn Maud long, for after Maud came Doris Doris of the laughing eyes, Doris of the shimmering hair, Doris of the golden tibiae! Within moments of meeting her, I whipped up a torrent of trochaic tetrameter:
Oh, my sweet and dutce Doris!
Oh, my sweet and dulcee Doris!
You're gentle as a Philip Morris,
With its mild and rich tobacco
And its white and scarlet pack-o.
Both in regular and king-size.
Doris tell me please your ring size.
Well, of course, the poor girl couldn't resist a poem like that-what girl could?- and she instantly became my slave. For the rest of the semester she carried my books, washed my car, and cored my apples. There's no telling where it all would have ended if she hadn't been drafted.
So, men, you can see the efficacy of poetry as an aid to wooing. Try it soon. All you need is a rhyming dictionary, a quill pen, and a second-hand muse. ©Max Sholman, 1905
