As a ground'breaker for W&L's tt-adi-tionol Mock Convention, CONTACT this'year is addressing itself to the hopes and- wOes of the Republican Party. CONTACT, entering its fourth year as an institution on the Wash-ington and, Lee campus, has made its mark as the host of such contro-versial speakers as James Farmer, Richmond Flowers, Tom Wolfe, Mi-chael Harrington, and Claude Brown. Ths year CONTACT will host former Senator Barry M Goldwater, Senator Thurston Mor-ton, Professor Samuel Lubell. for-mer Governor Thodore R. McKel-din, Mr. Stephen He.S'S, and Robert D. Novak. Sen. Thurston Morton— The Opposition CONTACT'S "What's New. Pachy derm" promises to be in the same vein as its predecessors. Leading off the program will be Senator Thurston Morton (Rep., Ky.) who will be speaking at 8:00 pm on Wednesday, February 7. Senator Morton, a former Na tional Chairman of the GOP and of the Republican Senatorial Cam paign Committee, is most noted for his recent dissent from the .Admin-istration's Viet Nam policy. While he will be talking about the rights and duties of the opposition party in Congress, some discussion of the United States involvement in Southeast Asia is a certainty. Theodore McKeldin— Urban Issues Urban America promises to be a major issue to be addressed or avoided by both parties. One of the leading advocates for the adoption of a progressive urban policy is Theodore R. McKeldin, former Gov-ernor of Maryland and recently re tired Mayor of Baltimore. McKeldin, noted for his colorful speech and sharp criticism, is Re publican through and through (R is for Roosevelt). Because h e has "re-tired from politics" his talk on Thursday, February 8 at 8:00 p.m. promises to provide a candid ex-position of Republican city stra tegy. Stephen Hess— Republican Outlook "What's New Pachyderm?" is an examination in depth of the Repub-lican Party. Few people have as up to-date and thorough knowledge of the institution as Stephen Hess, presently with the John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government.

In order to insure additional study time for cadets, the Superin-tendent has authorized taps one half hour later during the week prior to exams. Beginning Sunday night, January 14, cadets are auth-orized late study until 2:00 a.m in the following locations: Maury- Brooke Hall, Scott Shipp Hall, Nich-ols Building, Mallory Hall, barracks study rooms, and the Biology Build-ing. In a memorandum dated January 11, the Commandant's office ad-monishes cadets to "police" the late study areas, or they will be closed Shorter Exams This semester exams will be an hour shorter than previous exams changing from four hours to three hours. Col. Tutvviler, Head of the Eng-lish Department, gave several rea-sons for the change. First, the four hour exams were unnecessarily long, so the Academic Review Board decided to conform to the majority of other colleges in exam length. The second reason con-cerns the unfortunate cadet with two exams in one day. Six hours of concentrated thinking compares favorably with eight weary hours Purpose of Exam's Col. Tutwiler further stated that most teachers would probably give two to two and one half hour ex-ams, to insure that slow students would finish. The Academic Board maintains See EXAMINATIONS page 3 THIS FAINTING, a Picasso, is from the artist's Pink Period. It wa? one of many works discussed in this week's Panel Discussion— "Picasso and Twenty Century Vision." Topic of Panel Discussion Is Book On Picasso's Art As part of its summer Reading Program VMI offered several activi-ties last week related to the topic, "Picasso and the Twentieth Cen-tury Vision." Panel Discussion A panel discussion dealing with the subject was presented on Mon-day, January 8. The discussion cen-tered on the two hooks in the Sum-mer Reading program, Picasso, His Life and Work, by Roland Penrose, and. What is Modem Painting?, by Alfred Barr. The panel, itself, was composed of Col. William F. By-ers. Major William D. Badgett, and Cadet Timothy Rahm. Maj.

The Tams, who have recently re-corded "I've Been Hurt," are goin^ to play on Friday night, and Percv Sledge, famous for his recording of "When A .Vlan Loves A Woman" is featured on Saturday night.

Badgett showed how some of the peculiar ambiguous effects of modern art are achieved. Various Styles In an outline of the various styles of Picasso, Major Badgett proved that Cubist principles are reiterated throughout the artist's life. The survey ended with a state, ment of the present activity of Pi-casso. Cadet Rahm, who followed, spoke of the specific advantages of this book as an appraisal of the artist. Besides treating the painter's works e.vtensively, the biography offered a second, more important advantage. Since it was written by a personal friend, Rahm noted, the book presents a unique insight of 'he n:an himself. Commenting on everal paradoxes inherent in Pic- .isso, the cadet concluded that with-in the artist's many diverse styles, there is a constant search for ths .similarities between illusion and reality. Synibolization Beside.s hi.s artistic innovations, Picasso ha.s symbolized the abso-lutely free, unfettered artist. This i aspect wa-; dealt with by the third i s p e a k t r . Col. William F. Byers.
