At the same time, the members voted to keep the group intact and form a social fraternity which \yill contain in its constitution many of the characteristics of Phi Sigma Pi. The movement to dissolve the. fraternity was a result of strained relations between the local chapter and the na-* tional organization. Miscalculation ' l President Mike Yekenchick revealed to the members at a previous meeting that the local officers had come across a miscalculation on the part of the national organization, resulting in an overpayment of dues by the local chapter of about $300.00 in the last three or four years, for which the local received no credit. No Official Charter Upon investigation it was found that the national organization does not have an official charter, meaning that the national organization is not an organization by legal terms, Plans Announced For Eng li s h Cl ub The future activities of the English Club were presented in a recent meeting by organization president, Ken Mattfield, and were accompanied by his statement that the club was embarking on a campaign Plans for CGA's "Winter to get away from the classroom Weekend" neared completion type atmosphere which has last week by gaining the apbeen present at past club meetproval of College Council. ings.

During the second part of the program, the Concert Choir, under the direction of Mr. Decker, will be accompanied by an orchestra comprised of players from BSC, Southern Area High School, and professional string players assembled by Ferdinand Liva from Scranton. This is the first time that a full orchestra has been used by the Choir for a concert. The seventy-five members of the Choir will be singing music of Mendelssohn, Sweelinck, Hassler, and Bach for the two Christmas presentations. Soloists include: Rebecca Ehret, soprano; Susan Harper, alto; Ralph Miller, tenor; and Timothy Hoffman, bass. A unique Christmas program bringing together the Madrigal Singers, the Concert Choir, and the Bloomsburg Players will be presented at 8:15 p.m. December 10 and 12 in Carver Auditorium. Opening the program, the Madrigal Singers and the Bloomsburg Players will present The Second Shepherds Play combining medieval music with a 14th century morality play. The play has had four previous performances: one at Pennsylvania State University, one at East Stroudsburg State College, and two at Bloomsburg. Presented in a production true to the original presentation outside the church doors, The Shepherds Play moves from farce to reverence. Mr. Michael McHale is the director of the ". " ".

Since BSC is located so near a variety of colleges there are excellent opportunities to attend dramas and lecture series. Information And Fun Mattfield commented, "A most important service is making sure that members are informed of what is in the area and then trying to attend the performances. And of course we're concerned with having some fun, in the process." Last Thursday the club held a discussion on the modern life and academic institutions mentioned in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Future Plans Future plans revealed by Mattfield include a talk to be given by Professor Gerald Strauss in ("Mysteries; " a panel discussion on censorship, which will be taped and then published; a poetry reading contest and a literary contest. "In general," said Mattfleld , "the English Club is primarily an organization where members can express their views on anything of interest." Council is making general arrangements permitting private cars to be used for transportation. If and when this permission is secured, it will be up to each student to properly register his car for the period allotted. The Council is also arranging for late permissions for all girls concerned. There is also the probability that dinner at the Commons will be moved back to 11:00 on Sunday morning. Boston added that the "Winter Weekend" is another part of CGA's continuing eff ort to present the best to the college community. Basketball—7:00 Record dance after game Sunday, February 19, 1967 Leave for Elk Mt—12:00 Arrive there—2:30 Buffet Dinner—6-7:00 Band Dance—7-10:00 Arrive at BSC—12:30 The following expenses will be incurred: for equipment—$3.60; JBar lift—$3.60; Buffet Dinner— $1.50. Bus transportation — $.50. Boston emphasized that the girl should be responsible for her own expenses in regards to the skiing. At the present time, College Prosseda heads the list of officers including William Knorr, vice president; Joanne Kapcia, secretary; and Sharon Kraft, treasurer. Completing the roster of officers are Russell Anstead, men's representative; Sharon Pinkerton, women's representative; and Mr. Charles Brennan, advisor. Meeting The officers met yesterday and scheduled a class meeting for January 7, 1967. Plans were also discussed to co-sponsor a mixer with Lycoming College freshmen to be held sometime after Christmas vacation. Statement Jeff Prosseda anticipates a productive year with these officers backed by a freshman class which promises to be a "working, functioning unit." iiiiiwi m ii ^ i^ ^ ^ - -¦¦ - m m h ^ — . .- - <§ of Cadj ' %\) t iH ^ ^taff Cxtenbs Gr eetings s ^Eo feea^on gou^ :: ¦——«•-¦"¦""•— " ¦ ¦ ' ' ' " . ; ; ¦ ' . . . < ¦¦ ' ' • : ' ¦ ¦ ¦ '' ¦ ¦ ¦ " ¦ ¦ ¦ ; ^ ' ¦ ¦ '¦ ' '¦ ' ' '¦ / " ' ¦ , '¦ ¦ ¦ • . ¦ ¦ ¦ ' , • ¦ ,; <; ¦ >/ ' ^ ,' , - ' ] ' ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦¦ ' ; • ; ' f ' 1 * ' ' 1 : l v - """"""""" ' ' :: : " X :¦ '' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦¦ -• . . ¦ ' ' ' , '' : . . > ¦ . .

This marks the fulfillment of the first of five goals set two weeks ago by President Steve Boston for his administration. President Boston and his administration are to be commended for the way in which they have conducted the planning for the second big social weekend of the .year. The CGA chief executive has stressed from the beginning that the various CGA committees should assume the responsibility for investigating and planning the event. This is in line with his premise that members of his official family, the committee chairmen, should be delegated more responsibility in student government. These committee heads investigated the facilities available for skiing and winter recreation in our area and decided upon Elk Mountain after comparing costs and facilities *of the various resorts contacted. Members of the Huski Club and other skiing enthusiasts whom we interviewed told us1 the price schedule for skiing as announced by Council is quite reasonable in comparison with regular rates. Most members of the male community of the college breathed a sigh of relief when President Boston announced his stand that "dutch treat" should be the order of the day. Otherwise, the weekend could very well have turned out to be sparsely attended or the biggest "stag " party of the year. The Council has done its share in upgrading the social status of BSC to a great extent by providing the opportunity. . .it's up to the student body now to take advantage of the opportunity. (P.S.: Start saving your pennies today.) * * * MORE CHANGES: The M&G staff continues to experiment in an effort to present a more attractive and effective newspaper. Our readers will notice that we have change d the family of type employed for headlines and the flag. Comments and constructive criticism of these and any other points are always welcomed in our office. Pcnn State, University Park, Pa. Our folklore is full of notable giants such as Paul Bunyan, Cyclops, and that unfortunate fellow that Jack killed. No such thing as giants? And why not? There are two simple regulations that rule out the existence of giants, explains Robert F. Sehmalz, associate professor of geology. One is that the weight of an obj ect is proportioned to the cube of its size. But the strength of his skelton is porportional to only the square of the size. The man whose height was doubled and whose weight was not eight times as great as before, would therefore be only four times as great as before , would therefore be only four times as strong. The relationship then, explains Sehmalz, is between two factors which increase at different rates. As the cross-sectional area (size) increases, the strength increases too—but not as ,fast as the weight, and so it would lag farther and farther behind. Thus, by the time our imaginary man reached the size of a house, his weight would be so great that his structure could not support him.' The bones of his body would not be strong enough to handle'his tremendous weight and he would collapse helplessly onto the ground. The maximum speed at which a body will fall in air is determined by the ratio of weight to surface area. If weight increases as the cube of the size, surface area increases only as the square of size. Thus, a small animal will fall more slowly ( and hit bottom more slowly) than a large one. If you drop a rat down a mine shaft, you 'll have one less rat. If you drop a mouse, you might still have the mouse. And an ant might be dropped from a great height without damage. Does the weight-strength relationship mean that there is a maximum size that animals can obtain? Sehmalz says it depends upon the medium in which the animal lives. An animal that lives in the ocean, for example, is bouyed up by the water around it. It doesn't matter, how large and heavy a creature becomes, because the water in which it lives will support its body regardless of how much strength it lacks. If a sea animal should be lucky enough to always have a plentiful supply of food on hand and never fall victim to its natural enemies, it could grow to fantastic proportions. It may be that science has banished giants from the land. i * *4 4 4 4* 4 4 «* HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY!

Paul Hackenberry surveys 30 foot vertical drop while on a mapping exhibition in Aitkins Cave with some fellow spelunkers from the Pittsburgh region. SUBTERRANEA NS "A Jou rney To The Center Of The Earth" Is A Reality ; Bloo msbur q State 's Cavemen Like To Go Underg round by Richie Benyo "0, for a draught of vintage! that has been cooled a long age in the deep-delved earth ," wrote John Keats, and there are several students at BSC who can literally fulfill his wish. Spelunkers are cave explorers, or perhaps more romantically, modern cavemen. Here at BSC there are presently about twenty such advocates, led by Paul Hackenberry and Barry Scheetz, members of the National Speleological Society, sporting more than 100 and 80 hours underground respectively. Subterranean Journey When asked what prompts their subterranean j ourneys, both Paul and Barry could list several reasons: some humorously, like Barry 's: "You see, it's all Freudian; there's this long, dark tunnel that you are somehow compelled to go through . . .," and . some quite frankly serious: "It provides for a spirit of adventure that is sometimes hard to find these days." But it is not all for adventure or for Freudian fulfillment. During the trips Paul does a bit of mapping for M.A.R. (Mid-Appalachian Region) corelating cave entrances and plotting their winding courses; Barry takes slides and pictures of some of the rock formations that they encounter, and hopes to be able to do some extensive work with flourescent lighting arrangements on various formations in the near future. Bloomsburg's Grotto as one allows it to be," said Paul. They then listed some of the safety equipment they are in the habit of carrying with them on their trips, among which are three sources of light (carbite lamp, flashligh t, and candles) , first aid kits, hard hats, ankle supports (in case of an injured ankle, support must be provided to help the injured person from the cave), ropes and other climbing equipment They also stressed other basic safety precautions which serve as a type of spelunker's commandments, the principle one of which is to never explore alone. They seem to have safety covered quite thoroughly, for they've never, in all of their hours underground, had an accident. Paul mentioned the N.S.S. motto of "The only thing you take is pictures and the only thing you leave is footprints" in regards vandalism in caves. They were both justly appalled by the damage which is done in caves by careless and unthinking people who are not trained in appreciating the cave's for what they are, especially so in the destroying of various rock formations and "soda straws" (hollow deposits which hang from the roof of caves) which on the average take 20,000 years to form one cubic inch. This Is Fun (?) It was most interesting to listen to their narrative of one particular expedition that they made into a cave that was only large enough to let someone squirm through the entrance, and where the Cave served as a sort of sewage disposal plant; so much so, in fact, that half way through the passage one had to crawl through a truck tire that had wedged itself into an impossibly small opening. They j okingly said that they didn't fear getting lost in that particular cave, for they left a trail of rags from where their pants were torn on broken refuse. Having already made several trips to Fort Royal in Virginia, they are planning on an outing of about four days to that series of caves, from approximately the 25th to the 28th of next month. Both spelunkers are also looking forward to the national convention of the N.S.S. in Birmingham, Alabama during the second week of June. Anyone interested in making the search for Keats' "draught of vintage," is encouraged to contact either Paul or Barry—happy spelunking. Also in the near future is the ho p e of having a Grotto Club here at Bloomsburg, as there are at Shippensburg State, Penn State, York, Pittsbur gh, Harrlsbur g and many other areas. A Grotto Club is an approved branch of the National Speleloglca l Society, and Paul and Barry hope to get enough people on cam pus interested in cave-exploring to form a Grotto as a campus organization . They ore presently training some eighteen other advocates by taking them on expeditions to caves aroun d the Lewistown area , as the y are the nearest ones to Bloomsbur g, and are rather elementary as f ar as caves go, hav in g no vertical drops that the novice would have to negotiate on his first tri p , and being quite safe. , Safety First y Safet is one thin g th at both explorers were equally anxious to stress.

Cut: Policy Vandalism Teaching Polic y On Cuts Revisited From time to time students have requested unlimited cuts or the establishment of a "cut" system at Bloomsburg State College. Because there is a no "cut" system in practice now at'the college, the effect of absence on a student's grade is determined by the individual instructor. College administrative officers recognize the fact that many faculty members vary in their methods of handling student absence from classes. Some faculty appear not to care whether a student attends class while some faculty besome quite upset whenever a student misses a class. In general, however, our faculty seem to handle class absence in a fair and equitable manner. Few, if any, student protests have been heard in any administrative offiees regarding faculty unfairness in dealing with students who have missed classes for legitimate reasons. Bloomsburg faculty might be inclined to approve a "cut" system if they could be assured that: (1) Students who miss class would be responsible for obtaining a summary or an outline of all work missed. (2) Students would not be per- mitted to make up examinations, quizzes, or tests missed because of the cut (3) Students would recognize the fact that the present "approved absence" from classes for football trips, band trips, etc., would no longer be treated as "approved absences," but taken from the number of cuts that a student would be permitted to have. To set up a "cut" policy without recognizing the students' concomitant academic responsibilities would be, in my opinion, entirely unfair. If students are mature adults and are able to plan their absences so that their academic responsibilities can be met, there is no reason to oppose the establishment of a "cut policy." However, students must realize that if such a policy were to be adopted, the "approved absence" system for extra-curricular activities, the making up of examinations and work missed because of the absence, and the imposition of such academic penalties as missing examinations will be the "price" that students may well have to pay for the adoption of any ' cut" policy. — John A. Hoch . ^ Dean of Instruction Dest ruction In New Lounge Along with increased enrollment, the physical expansion of the college, and the updating of our antiquated social laws, there has appeared again some maniac who expresses his frustrations against life by slashing lounge furniture. The CGA, et al, who provided the new lounge in the location of the old library, have noticed that last weekend someone put a nice long slit in one of the chairs. The furniture in the lounge , cost over 7,000 dollars, and the way it looks, by the end of the year the investment might well be written off as a total loss. People will say that this is an evil that one may expect as the College grows in size. People are wrong. Several weeks ago I visited Temple University which has an enrollment of 37,000. One of the lasting impressions made on my mind was the excellent condition of their many student lounges. Some- one remarked that, "You could never have a lounge like that at Bloomsburg, it wouldn't last a year/' Sadly enough the statement is correct. The person or persons who get their j ollies by destroying community property more than likely have a touch of mental sickness. Their action remind one of a little child who, when not being able to possess something of their brother or sister, wrecks it. The solution to the problem is not to patrol the lounge, or close it, or place steel furniture in the place, but rather to develop in the students an attitude of respect for what is the property of all of them. It's a sad comment on the mentality of Bloomsburg students when the Administration and College Council have to worry about the childish antics of some college sixyear-old. — Larry Remley The Stude nt Teaching Game Another phase in the game of living has all but passed ; another experience has fed a hun gry mind. The present in which we are now consumed will soon give way to mere menta l patterns.

Beginning his writing career at seventeen, he has worked his way through a Master of Arts degree from , Fisk University, a special O. Henry Award for his short story ^Health Card," and an Unlimited bookshelf of adventure fiction, on every conceivable event from revolution in the Caribbean to skulduggery on the Spanish Main. "The Golden Hawj c" is his novel of the buccaneer who harassed the Spanish shipping during the late 1600's. It is the chronicle of Kit Gerado, the , bastard son of Don Luis, Spanish nobleman and supposedly the murderer of his mother. The pages of the book take the reader from the coast of Spain to Lima and back again, stopping off at almost every port en-route and stopping every Spanish ship that falls before their prow, accumulating plunder and blood in varying degrees throughout. Kit's obsession with revenge on Don Luis (the only character who manages to show with some degree of gray to contrast the other characters in stark black or white) permeates the book from beginning to end, when the deed is taken from his hands by the fate of war. His obsession, though, is not as narrow as it may sound, for throughout the novel there is a great degree of intertwining of personalities and a very basic, but well-executed plot that borders on the edge of a foursided triangle. If one can disregard Mr. Yerby's all-good or all-bad characters it is not difficult to become very thoroughly engrossed in the vivid description and action that he paints. For a rainy-day session with a book, it can't be beat. — Richie Benyo. Defense Against The Time Graduate School Becomes A Necessity For Surviva l In Our Chang ing Soc iety In the near future you may need a college degree in order to drive a truck. This may seem to be an overex;aggeration, but today, in the '60's, a college degree is becoming comparable to a high school diploma during the 1920's. Year by year advancements in business and industry, as well as in the teaching profession, are being determined not by the ability in the specific job alone, but more so by the advanced degrees that a person holds. A Common Factor Graduate school is no longer being reserved for those wishing to teach in college; it is becoming a necessity for many areas of study in the mundane world. Estimates have it that the number of people going into graduate " Seminar " Something To Think About CONTEMPLATIONS & REFLECTIONS was a step ^oward a more progressive college. Although Bloomsburg is growing, it is still a relatively small school. However , it lacks communication and closeness with faculty —somethin g which is supposed to be a benefit of a small college. Because of this , I believe that Bloomsburg lacks a stimulating intellectual atmosphere. Should Not Be Exception This is not meant to be a "blanket generalization " because there are exceptions. I am aware of many good faculty -student relationships. The f act remains , that the desired by Richie and Toni Benyo Matulis _ end is the exception rather than With the end of the semester the rule at Bloomsbur g.

Close To Home In the Pennsylvania public schools today a graduate needs 24 hours of credit on the graduate level in order to receive a permanent teaching certificate. By this, approximately 75% of the graduates in today's state colleges are engaged in graduate work. Ten years ago only six hours of graduate-level study were required, with only about 15% of the state college graduates involvedin this s t u d y . In the 1920's public school teachers (trainees of the old normal schools) would obtain their bachelor degrees at Saturday classes. Today this approach has found ground to grow in commerce and industry. Employees of such concerns as Bethlehem Steel, Western Electric, and Pennsylvania Power & Light work on master's degrees through evening classes at neighborhood colleges or may even receive a "sabbatical" to concentrate on some particular subject matter pertinent to their job. A Little Criticism The "graduate factory" or "diploma mill"—as graduate schools are dubbed by critics of the system —are coming up for some rather strong debate. Some contend that \he world will become so graduateoriented that it will end up with a great number of persons holding advanced degrees who will be unable to find suitable employment, thereby making work for master's or doctorate degrees unnecessary.

It is no secret in the professional "market place" that librarians are difficult to find. In fact, a well-prepared professional librarian is in as much demand as a nuclear physicist or a teacher who has a field of specialty in higher mathematics. . We also employ seven non-personnel in the library, in the persons of clerks, assistants, custodial workers, and helpers. The services of these workers are almost as difficult to secure, and we are currently in the process of trying to employ one additional clerk typist. As is common in most college libraries, students are offered employment to assist the professional and non-professional personnel in the operation of the facility. Dean Riegel's office reports that we have fifty-one students on our State and Work-Study payrolls as library helpers. For the first time in many years, the office of the Dean of Students indicates that there are no vacancies for students who desire employment opportunities in the Library. The direct salaries for library personnel for the fiscal year, 19661967 are in excess of $112,000. In addition, the staff of the Instructional Audio-Visual Materials Center in the Library adds another $28,000 to the salaries paid library personnel. The projected grand total of all direct salaries for the library and the Instructional Materials Center is $140,189.

R A C U S I N' S A Bit of Thanks In view of all the "Liberty in Self-Government" we have been granted in the past year, we must realize that we owe a responsibility to ourselves and to our college to use these rights to their fullest potential. However, we must also realize NESPOLI JEWELERS 25 E. MAIN ST., BLOOMSB URO that in the process of taking advantage of these "gifts," we must not hinder the administrative machinery. It is not our place as students to meddle in the affairs of our mentors. Students should not be allowed to decide where dances are to be held, how they should eat dinner, what organizations can exist on campus, etc. Students, being students, aren't really qualified enough! ta make the right decisions on these important administrative matters. But students are qualified enough to serve in various committees and organizations along with the administration to give their ideas and views. But the actual rules and regulations must be set down by mature adults who can see the picture much more clearly. The students that claim that they should be given an equal voice in these regulations should be looked on as a detriment to our college. We don't need "radicals" in this community of "social conservatism." Changes in policy would lead to utter chaos among our students. Besides, how does it look to outsiders if students of BSC are involved in activities that are "unprofessional?" Luckily, we don't have many people that would try to start "contemporary" thinking at BSC. And since the majority of us know the administration is right (extremely right we wouldn't support support this. We have a fine college, but we must not stop being a fine college. The only way we can continue is to cooperate 100% with our superiors, Of course it is impossible to get this cooperation, but the small per cent that doesn't cooperate will be dealt with sooner or later. Until we are rid of those that would undermine our community, we must remain apathetic to their senseless efforts. Yes, we should be very, very thankfu l for the guidance and supervision given us every day. I hope we can prove worthy and show our gr atitude in the future... — John Cooper SPINET PIANO BARGAIN WANTEDi Respons ible par ty to take over low monthly payments on a spinet piano.

BLOOMSBURO, PA. 784-0332 months of the current college year is approximately $35,467. This does not include the original furnishings which were provided when the . Library was opened. Proj ected at the rate of $14,000 per month, the expenditures for books, films, and supplies for the library for the current year will total $168,000. When this amount is added to the amount allocated for salaries and equipment, the grand total cost of library operation for the college year 1966-1967 is $343,656. This figure covers only the costs that can be directly allocated. It does not include indirect salaries for maintenance and supervision, the cost of maintenance supplies, overhead charges for the use of the facility, including depreciation, utilities, and capital additions, or pro.rated charges for exterior services on the grounds. There is no question that our college administration would like to provide increased library hours and facilities for students; however, until such time that more professional and non-professional personnel can be employed to cover all essential library services during the hours that the library is open, and until such time as the legislature is willing to appropriate additional funds for salaries, equipment, and supplies, it would appear that favorable consideration cannot be given to any requests to increase the number of library hours per week and library services. — John A.

Courtmen Lose To Indiana; Defeat West Chester Rams Fouls proved to be the determining factor as Coach Earl Voss's Husk y basketball team lost their opening game 71*67 to Indian a State. In the game held at Indiana , BSC took a 36-28 lead into the locker room at the half and held their advanta ge until with only 58 seconds left on the clock Indiana tied the score. Then with four seconds left on the clock a BSC foul gave them a two point lead. Another Husk y foul at the buzzer added two more points giving Indiana a four point mar gin of victory in the non-league contest. BSC St arter s Startin g for BSC were sophomores Palmer Toto , Ji m Dulane y, and Jack Carney who was high scorer with 21. Other Husky starters were senior co-captains Mike Morrow and John Gara. Having better luck in their home opener BSC scored a convincing 103-88 win over West Chester. •Tumping out to an early lead the Husky zone defense held well with only strong outside shooting keeping West Chester in the game. Right Combination Starting the same team as saw action against Indiana, Coach Voss had the right combination as Mike Morrow dumped in 36 points, Jack Carney added 19, Jim Dulaney scored 15, and John Gara, 11. Palmer Toto had 13 points along with an unprecedented 13 assists. The capacity crowd at Centen-, nial Gym also saw the Husky Pups score a victory as they won 63-58 over the Bucknell Frosh. Leading the BSC freshmen were team leader Bill Mastropietro and Jeff Houk whose aggressive tactics got him both the points and rebounds needed for a BSC victory. The strongest teams in the Eastern Conference should be Millersville with seven of its first eight players returning including all five starters. Bloomsburg will get its strength from a team that includes three starting sophomores who last year played on the most successful freshman team in BSC history. Mansfield , a team that has always been strong is a big question mark this year. If coach Bill Clark can pull the team of j ourneymen that remain from last year with some new talent, they could be strong. East Stroudsburg, Kutztown, and West Chester have to be considered dark horses in this year's campaign. Shippensburg, although in j a. rebuilding, must be considered a threat to knock off some strong teams. In the Western Division things really seem to be up in the air as Slippery Rock, Edinboro, and California are unknown quantities. Lock Haven expects to improve while on the other hand Clarion doesn't expect to equal last year's 15-6 record. The Husk y swimmers had a taste of both victor y and defeat Saturda y, Decemb er 3, when they dropped a very close meet to Tempje; University before about f sixty specta tors. In the first official meet of the season the Hus ky tankmen pushed themselves to the limit and tried every trick they knew in attem pting to defeat the Owls of Temple, but lack of supportin g men tooks its toll.

Who Killed Kennedy \ ' Today we are confronted with the question of "Who killed Kennedy?" lumbia County Historical Society But there is a larger question at stake, namely, "Can we trust our govern- executive. ment to reveal the truth to us in all situations?" If the Warren Commission Report is proved false, dire questions would result In such a situation, all interested persons should examine the articles, not in light of the possibilities, but rather the probabilities. It is very easy to let our imaginations run away with us in such dilemmas. We need to , examine this issue with the restraint and responsibility it deserves. Assassination Theories To demonstrate the need for thinking in terms of probabilities, let me cite the question: Did Hitler commit suicide at the end of WWN II? It is indeed possible that Hitler survived and escaped to South America (as some people insist) but it is highly improbable. The same may be said of many (but by no means all) of Esquire's "35 assassination theories." Warren Report Questioned The Warren Commission Report should have the respect of all persons for its case is one of the most probable. However, honest men can disagree and not all questions of the accuracy of the Warren Report are unfounded. Many of Mark Lane's and Edward Epstein's questions appear to be justifiable and we can not dismiss them. If one tries*to cite them as opportunists trying to cash in on the Kennedy assassination, then one would also have to cite Gerald Ford, one of the Commission members, for his book, Portrait of the Assassin.
