Editor of Saturday Review to
Address Students on Vital Issues

By Don Wagmer
Coach Hubert Jack and his
spirited Lock Haven State gridironmen are fa.st approaching
their opening clash against
Bloomsburg this Saturday afternoon at home. Backed with
15 returning lettermen and 25
o t h e r candidates, the Bald
Eagles are expected to make a
good showing in their first contest of the new 1963 campaign.
Coach Jack, who will be entering his seventeenth year at
Lock Haven as head coach, has
been well p l e a s e d with his
squad's spirit. "In all my years
here at State, this is by far the
best-spirited team I've ever
coached," Coach J a c k stated
after one of the t e a m ' s six double-session practices early in the
conditioning season.
The Bald Eagles' skipper also pointed out that his team,
as in past years, is very light,
averaging only about 200 lbs.
on the front line, and will spot
Bloomsburg Saturday and every other team they meet this
year from ten to fifteen pounds
per man. The Huskies, who suffered a surprising 34-14 loss at
the hands of the Maroon and
Gray last year will be a much
more experienced eleven than
last year's.
Using a multiple offense, according to latest reports, the
E a g l e s are expected to run
mainly out ot a slot—T formation with different variations.
With s u p p o r t from Coach
Jacobs and Coach Hacker and
student assistant coach Tom
Bossert, Coach Jack looks for
an improved team over last
year's squad which finished out
of the running for the State
Conference crown won by Shippensburg. "Almost every team
in the Conference this year is
loaded," as Coach Jack put it,
"and any team could win the

title. We are picked to finish
low iri the standings, and that's
just what we like," he continued. "By being selected to finish with a poor season, there
will be no early pressure on my
boys, and they will be able to
play straight, hard football with
no pre-season predictions to
live up t o . "
Beside the forty varsity candidates out this fall for the Lock
Haven S t a t e football team.
Coach Jack reports there are
also about forty new Freshmen.

Norman Cousins, Editor of the
Saturday Review, will speak at
the a u t u m n convocation a t
Lock Haven State College on
September 19th at 1:00 p. m. in
Price Auditorium.
Mr. Cousins has been editor
of the Saturday Review since
the end of 1939. Under his editorship, the magazine has expanded in scope and influence
from a purely literary weekly
to a widely-circulated journal
dealing with ideas and the a r t s
and, in general, with the m a r ketplace of good taste in America.
In connection with his editorship of the Saturday Review, he
has been to every corner of
America, and around the world
several times. In 1959 he visited and lectured in the Soviet
Union under the American-Soviet cultural e x c h a n g e program. He was the first American to speak on questions of
foreign policy before the P r a e s idium of the Soviet Peace Committee. He also lectured before
the Soviet Writers' Union and
the Academy of Social Science.
In November, 1960, he was organizer and co-chairman of a
conference held at Dartmouth
College between S o v i e t and
American scientists, e c o n o mists and other leaders from
the two countries—the first of
its kind. Subsequently, he has
been co-chairman of the second of these conferences in the
Crimea, and the third in October, 1962, here in the States.
He was also American representative to the Indian Government's observances of the Tagore Centenary.
As an interpreter and analyst
of history-in-the-making, Mr.
Cousins has made ten trips to
the F a r East since the end of
World War II. He has represented not only the Saturday
Review, but the National Broadcasting C o m p a n y and the
American Broadcasting Company at such events as the
Egypt-Israel crisis in 1956-57;
the Asian-African conference in
Indonesia in 1955; the EastWest crisis in Germany in 1953;
the Korean War in 1951. Another trip in 1951 was under the
sponsorship of the U. S. Government, during which time h e

lectured in universities a n d
public forums in India, Pakistan, Ceylon and J a p a n on the
subject of America's relationship with the rest of the world.
He was exchange lecturer in
Japan under the auspices of the
America-Japan Institute f o r
Cultural Interchange,
In 1958 and 1959 he traveled
to Poland to a r r a n g e for the
visit to America of some 38 Polish women victims of Nazi
medical experimentation. E a r lier, he had carried out a similar project to aid Japanese victims of the Hiroshima A-bombing.
His books include IN PLACE
OF FOLLY, a outline of the essential facts of the nuclear
a r m s race together with a specific presentation of alternatives; DR. SCHWEITZER OF
LAMBARENE, a personal account of his discussions with
Albert Schweitzer at the jungle
hospital; IN GOD WE TRUST,
dealing with the philosophies
a n d religious beliefs of the
American Founding F a t h e r s ;
WHO SPEAKS FOR MAN, a
plea for the end of the age
anarchy and the beginning
the age of world law;
THE GOOD INHERITANCE
a case history of Athenian de
mocracy w i t h a comparable
analysis of American democracy; MODERN MAN IS OBSOL E T E , which grew out of his
widely - circulated editorial;
T A L K S WITH N E H R U ; A
TREASURY O F AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY, a collection of
aphorisms of freedom;
and
THE POETRY O F FREEDOM,
edited with the late William
Rose Benet. He was also the
Editorial Supervisor of March's
DICTIONARY THESAURUS,
His interest in the field of nuclear energy began the day the
first atomic bomb exploded.
That day he wrote the editorial,,
"Modern Man Is Obsolete," de
fining the basic challenges o
the nuclear age. The book foresaw the tensions that would
emerge between the great powers and called for development
of a United Nations strong
e n o u g h to administer both
world security and world justice. The editorial, translated
into seven languages, had a total circulation of seven million.
