Congratulations on your
article about "eggheads" tby
Eugene Gilbert last Sunday
in that you pointed out the
current trend toward anti
intellectualism.
/ regret, though. that you
did not take a more We
hement stand on the side Of
the intellectuals. ! also take
issue with you in that you
say young people draw a
sharp line between the egg
head and the educated man"
and then equate an educated
person to one who Is a
college graduate. This equa-
ton is at best a grossly con-
strued falsehood. The ma
jority of those who go to COL

est benefits for the very Tea-
sons that they take a olIn
view of the egghead.

More on Neckinq

Someone wrote in a couple
of weeks ago and brought up
the subject of the morality
of necking for discussion.
First of all, no individual,
nor any group of individuals,
has any right to decide what
is morally right or wrong for
someone else. It's up to those
6mectly concerned to decide
whether or not their actions
are improper. What is right
or at best acceptable for one
may be completely wrong for
another, depending on the
point of view.
Secondly, even If this
group of individuals should
succeed in setting up such a
moral code it would be next
to impossible to enforce it to
Others against their will. And,
though 1 wasn't around at
the time, from what I've
heard the prohibition era
proved that the forbidden
fruit is indeed the sweetest,
even If it may leave a few
upset stomachs in its wake.

the top events at both sites-the
All-England on the British court

She's cool, poised and affable

love for tennis was born on the
teeming streets of Harlem, where
she became adept at hitting a ball
with wooden paddle. Gone is
the nervousness, the uncertainty
which plagued her during her long,
often discouraging march to the
top.

and was eliminated in the second
round by Louise Brough.
The following year she made her
Wimbledon debut, and reached the
third round, losing to Beverly Ba-
ker. Maureen Connolly eliminated
her in the third round of the ma
tionals that year.
Her quest for the big titles
seemed so fruitless that she became
so discouraged early in 1856 and
considered giving up competitive
tennis for career in the WACs.
The State Department tour changed
that idea. She won IA of Is tour
naments, including IL in a row,
and the stage was set for her
smashing triumphs of the past
year.
She defeated Darlene Hard in
the finals at Wimbledon in June,
came back to win the National
Clay Courts title for the first time
in July, and in September climaxed
her spectacular campaign by win
ming over Miss Brough, her nem-
