This diatribe by Junior Lowell Kirby, 24, of Athens' University of Georgia, appeared in the final issue of the college paper, The Red and Black. It left Catholic students (275 in an enrollment of 5,500) hopping mad. Members of the Newman Club promptly consulted with Father Cronan F.

To begin with, the young man of the "broad, flat face [with] eyes the color of stagnant water" has been transformed by Hollywood into a dreamy-looking cinemactor named Paul Newman-but Newman's performance as Ben Quick, before the script blunts it, is as mean and keen as a cackle-edge scythe.

To get enough oxygen for the heavy work they do, the Indians have conspicuous barrel chests and outsized lungs, but they also have subtler adaptations to altitude. The pockets in their lungs (alveoli) have more capillaries so that their blood can capture more oxygen from the thin air. A mountain Indian has about two quarts more blood than a sea-level person...
