Hal Boyle once told his wife that Marilyn Monroe was "the most interesting woman conversationalist" he had ever met.
Boyle's wife, however, asked him to write four interesting comments Miss Monroe had made. He couldn't do it.
"That ended it right there," he said.
The famous Associated Press columnist related this story and others when he spoke at the Theta Sigma Phi Matrix Banquet Saturday night at the Ramada Inn. Theta Sigma Phi is the woman's professional journalism society.
Despite a popular view, the columnist does not live in luxury or give advice to Washington, Boyle said. He said he goes to work in a subway, lives in a "tenement building" and that "days and days go by without President Nixon ever calling."
Boyle classifies his column as human interest, and lives by the saying "the customer is always right."
"That's what they do," he said, "they write, write, write." Boyle does a lot of writing himself. He begins writing a column two hours before it is due and receives 50 to 75 letters a day.
Because of their "sense of wonder," Boyle said he enjoys interviewing children and hermits. A favorite trait of children in Boyle's mind is their
habit of combining words they hear into a new saying.
Boyle has covered World War II, Korea and Vietnam. This reporter asked him what he thought the difference was between the public sentiment in World War II and Vietnam.
"People are confused about the Vietnam war," he said. "The war is difficult to understand and it lacks emotional appeal because there is no hate object to fight against, as Hitler was in World War II."
Boyle, however, said the morale of the soldier in Vietnam is higher than that of the people
in the United States. If citizens would go to Vietnam to see it for themselves, the feeling about the war could perhaps be different he said.
Boyle also said the young people of today are living in the most confusing and dangerous time in history, with no certainty of the future.
He was not of the opinion that the young people of today are any worse than their predecessors.
"There must always be rebellion against something." he said, "otherwise there is no change for the better."
Status of women is topic for discussion by WLF
The legal status of women and discrimination against them on campus will be among the topics that the Women's Liberation Front (WLF) will discuss at their next general meeting, a WLF co-organizer said this weekend.
Suzanne Atkins, Leavenworth sophomore, said WLF was planning a coordinating committee meeting of 15 to 20 interested women students this week with WLF adviser Elizabeth Schultz, assistant professor of English.
"We want to educate ourselves on matters that relate to the status of women. We will look
into the possibility of obtaining speakers on women's rights and will do some research."
