DR.. HI. Nichols, superinten-

credits East Cleveland's COM
paratively low school taxes

listing facilities. He feels that
East Cleveland has an advan-
tage because it is not expert
encing a great influx of pupils
as some of the other suburbs
are and therefore does not have
to construct additional buildings
and hire more teachers.
The Superintendent said that
if East Cleveland was having
the growing pains that other
suburbs have it could not af-
ford to provide all the services
now given its pupils at the pre-
sent tax rate. He calls the ed
ucational system in East Cleve-
land good.
Other action on the Board
agenda includes the adoption Of
high school text books, the ap-
pointment of teachers, the ac-
ceptance of the resignation of
teachers, and a report to the
Board on salaries paid to sum-
mer school personnel.
Those who have submitted

An Absurd Novel

BY Marcia Davenport.
Charles Scribner's Sons;
$3950
This is a flossy, glossy and
absurd novel about a love
affair between an American
divorce and a philandering
Italian aristocrat. Supposedly
much agony is generated be-
cause the lecher falls in love
with our heroine. The lecher's.
wife, hitherto a most toler-
ant spectator of his amours,
decides that this is the real
thing and moves in to break
it up. More anguish at the
opera, more buzzing at the
best Milan cocktail parties,
more dry sobs between de-
scriptionS of menus, decors
and clothes. All our heroine
ever has to do, mind you, is
pick up the phone and get
an earlier plane reservation.
but no, she visits her lovers
mother. meets the wife and
generally carries on like she
had a problem. What this
posh nonsense is supposed to
add up to is a testimony to

Every spring college stu

pie flock for several weeks to

the phenomenon, a reporter
asked a coed why she came.
Because this is where the
boys are" she replied simply,
giving the reporter and his
readers a chuckle and Mr..
SWarthout a title for this
novel. Her candor also prob
ably gave the author a start
on building his heroine.
Her name is Merritt. a
freshman from a MidweStern
school, and she serves as mar
rator Of the Lauderdale saga.
From the outset, her first
person account is remarkably
revealing. She admits that
sex is very important in a
book today" and adds:
You watch the people in
a bookstore or by the paper
backs in a drug store, turning
the pages with that bored
yet hunting expression. They
are not looking for literature.
If I'm anything, it's realistic.
To be read you have to heat
it up. So If this book is ever
published and you are some
day browsing around in a
bookstore or drug store l

CON SERVATIVES IN

Author Edwin L. Dale, jr.,
quotes his grandmother's
wise remark that economic
analysis lis no detective
story" But Mr.. Dale, who
covered the Washington eco
nomics beat for the New
York Times, has at least sue
ceeded. in this small book,
in presenting the record of
the Eisenhower administra-
tion's efforts to bolster a free
economy with a clarity that
is remarkable for any writ
ing in this field.
G. o. P. Failures
AS the title suggests, Mr..
Dale believes the Republicans
have been largely unsuccess-
full in meeting their own
goals: The budget has con-
tinued to grow; imitation "of
quite serious" proportions has
occurred; the growth rate
Of the economy has slowed:
the problems of managing
the national debt have not
been solved; two recessions
have happened; the farm
program is still a mess, etc.
For most of these fail
ureS," he does not hold the
administration to blame.
Rather. his point is that the
conservatives" who came to
power in 1853 greatly under
estimated the difficulty of
achieving their goals. Only
rarely does he claim that ad-
ministration actions have led
to adverse economic effects.
Looking Ahead
Mr.. Dale is sympathetic to
the goals the Eisenhower ad-
ministration sought. He is
even moderately hopeful that
another conservative" ad-
ministration, building on the
experience of the past seven
years, would have more sue
cess in achieving these goals.
He does not speculate on
where the economy would be
today If the administration
had adopted q different set of
economic priorities. But his
accounting of what the ad-
ministration sought and what
it achieved will be of inesti-
mable value to anyone con-
cerned with the larger issues
