said many. You drift through
your school days with obviously
no purpose and you will all
come to some dark ominous
end. There is no middle road.

chimed in others. These and
many more criticism Numbered
through the halls of the school
In order to stop these wild ac-
cuSations the graduating seniors
wrote a book entitled Were We
Guinea Pigs?", which was pub

pany in 1888. Needless to say 1t
was read widely by a large
group of educators as well as
many skeptical persons. AS part
of their education the university
school seniors also took a train
for weeks visit to New York
where they stayed at the In

they mingled with students from
all parts of the world who were
attending Columbia university.

Yugoslav Newspapers Hit Russian
 Policy in Dealing With Satellites

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, R- Warning that the situation in East Europe has reached "criti cal" point, Yugoslavia's Commu- mist Party has told Russia it's time for change in Russian re- lations with the rest of the Soviet bloc.
 The party newspaper Borba said significant changes al- ready have taken place, but warned that the tragic events in Hungary" have left two alterna- tiveS:
 ITO return to Stalinism or to se- cure democratic relations based on equality among socialistic Communist countries"
 Real friendship, supported by the people, Borba declared, ex- ists only where relations are based on equality.
 Borba's statement came as re- ply to the recent attack by Pray da, the Soviet Communist Party newspaper, on President Tito's criticism of Soviet military inter- vention in the Hungarian rebel lion.
 Phrased generally in concilia- tory tones, the reply did not go into the reported Soviet seizure of former Hungarian Premier Imre Nagy afte9 he left the Yugoslav embassy in Budapest or other pressing Moscow-Belgrade issues.
 But taking up the Soviet party organs attack on Tito, Borba de- clared lone would expect that Pravda would approach this mat ter with more sense of responsi- bility."

The Nome nugget., 1956-11-28

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, R- President Tito's government news paper told the Russians today events in Hungary and Poland prove they need to change lot more than just the personality cult.
 This latest broadside in the So- viet-Yugoslav feud over Stalin- ism or "cult of personality" in the Kremlin diction-came in a front page editorial in Politika.
 The row started with sharply anti-Stalinist speech by Tito on Nov. II and a critical reply by Pravda, the newspaper of Nikita s. Khrushchev's. Soviet Commu- mist Party.
 "Can all the injustice and crimes against thousands of peo- pie of which Khrushchev spoke Cat the Soviet Party Congress last February be explained in this way?" Politika asked. "Would it be Marxist to claim that the de- portations and suppressions of en" tire nations can be explained by some personal feature of Sta- lin?
 "Stalin could not have per- formed such a lot of evil to the Soviet society if certain conditions for such a policy of his, if a cer- tain social setup and certain ad- ministrative system had not ex- isted.
 "The fact Stalinism is some thing more than the cult of per sonality can be proved by those Polish and Hungarian leaders who have openly demonstrated what damage their countries have suf- fered from the bureaucratic ad- ministration and improper rela- tions between the countries of eastern Europe as they were ere ated in the Stalin era"
