tudents' letters flood Mr. K By JACK DEGOVIA FOGHORN STAFF WRITER Over 1000 USF students wrote personal messages to Nikita Khrushchev Thursday, mes- ages asking him to spare the lives of 150 mouthful Hungarian Freedom Fighters slated jor execution as they reach eighteen years of kge- The letters are part of a nation-wide campaign on ehalf of the young prisoners who are jailed in the Jttle Central Prison in Budapest. These students have been held since the revolution of 1956, when |they were fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen, awaiting legal acre and consequently, death. The American appeal began when television star Ed Sullivan, acting on information he received from Dr. Bela Fabian, head of the Hungarian refugees in New York City, asked the school children of this country and their parents to write the Soviet leader. ~fThe National Federation of Catholic College Students requested the cooperation of Catholic campi throughout America to start a flood of letters. At USF the NFCCS printed a form letter and purchased stacks of postcards, distributing them with the aid of the Theology department in classes. Dr. Steven Hollos, Hungarian Assistant Professor of Business Administration, asked friends and pupils to write. At the suggestion of one of his students the Young Republican Club passed a resolution asking clemency for the youths and prepared to send it to the Soviet Premier. Tom Hudsen, chapter chairman, said that he plans to approach other California chapters, asking them to do likewise. Dr. Hollis said reaction in Hungary would be "very appreciative. It would offset the feeling of abandonment many Hungarians felt after the revolution and the effects of Soviet propaganda concerning Khrushchev's visit to the United States." The plan has a good chance of success, according to Dr. Hollis, because "all Communists, and especially Khrushchev, are very sensitive to world opinion. He will probably use it as evidence supporting peaceful coexistence."

Today, Stan Kenton's band is a favorite "name band" in all leading colleges and universities. Since the $2000 fee that the twenty - three - man band is charging was announced over two and one • half months ago, feelings have been mixed as to the sensibility behind the expenditure.

"POWER AND GLORY" Greene drama wavers By FRANK LAVORATO James J. Collins' production of Graham Greene's "Power and the Glory" is without a doubt one of the most ambitions and daring projects ever attempted by USF thespians.

With his first atempt as di rector of USF dramatics, Collins proves that his abilities transcend those expected of most college drama directors. "The Power and the Glory" is, at least to this rieviewer, somewhat of a mystery; it does not deal with definites but with vague ideas, never clearly developed and never fully expounded. The persecution of the Church during the Mexican Revolution serves as the motivation for the plot. But the play however is essentially neither interested in the persecution nor in the revolution. Its central theme seems to be the question of what constitutes a hero in the modern world. Greene, I think, answers the question by asserting that the man with an ideal is the man with the qualities of greatness . . . not the priest whose only "ideal" is ritual and who becomes a martyr not because of ideals but because of psychological necessity.
