Marshal Tito, dictator of Yugoslavia, has at various
times shocked the democratic countries of the world
with his atrocious activities. From the ranks of the
pious ecclesiastics in Yugoslavia, A~<.:hbishop Stepinac
was summoned, tried (a mock trial) and imprisoned.
Ooncurrently, Tito led a vicious attack against the
ohurches. This was Tito and Company's manner of
manifesting their contempt at the nation of an Infinite
Being.
Tito, in an attempt to eliminate all personal competition,
had the heroic Mikhailovitch slain in July 1946.
Then, the Marshal aHowed three unarmed United
States Army transport planes to be shot down. Tito, in
opposition to the rules set forth by the United Nations,
gave illegal aid to the anti-Athens government guerrillas.
Contrary to all expectations, however, a diplomatic
break between Russia and Yugoslavia soon came about.
The Moscow Cominform, seeking an eventual world
wide communist dictatorship, saw an imminent threat
to their plans. Tito had linked communism with nationalism
which meant that Yugoslavian governmerut
was to be dominated by no external force.
With trade relations with Russia and Russian satelites
thus eliminated, Tito was forced to trade with Western
democracies. The Marshal's continued sovereignty
depended upon his ability to maintain econ<;>mic stability
in Yugoslavia. Therefore, trade relations with the
western democracies become necessary.
Since the Russian-Yugoslavian clash, huge sums of
money have been granted to Yugoslavia by the World
Bank and International Monetary Fund. The granting
of money to such a country appears, perhaps, to be a
rather incongruous step..It is a known fact that Yugoslavia
is constantly transforming into an absolute materialistic
communist state. In spite of the fact that it
differs from Russian communism which seeks world
wide dominion, Yugoslavian communism·also embodies
most of the economically unsound and morally wrong
concepts found in Marxian communism.
Why then, should Yugoslavia be aided in any way
by America? Simply because it is the policy of the
United StaJtes to make loans and exchange goods with
any nation providing that the transactions are on mutually
satisfactory terms. But, our reasons should not
stop here. In this country, we know the meaning of
basic human rights and thrive upon our freedom. In
our trade with Yugoslavia, ,therefore, Tito can hardly
avoid the importaHon of Western ideas as well as Western
goods. As Ambassador Cannon said, "perhaps even
that government will be influenced by the Western oonception
of basic human rights." It would be a remarkable
thing if communistic, atheistic Yugoslavia were to
be transformed. into a Christian Democmcy. Imagine
what a blessing it would be to the Catholics in that
country to be able to go to Church without fearing imprisonment
or fearing death.
Yes . . . perhaps something more than economic
gain will result from our trade relaHons with Yugoslavia.

John Culotta hasn't any
"gripe," bUitas a student in
Comparative Anatomy and Genelics
he says, "I'd like to see
from what primate the 'Kigmy'
evolved, and whether the characteristic
to absorb such punishment
is, a hereditary factor."
(You ought to collaborate with
Charli,e Sasso, ,John. 'Who knows,
by experimentation you might
get a ,mutation that is capable
to 'Pluck' the pigeons for the
future B.S.B. students.)
Someone suggested <that the
Freshmen should act as the
'Kigmies' for the upperclassmen.
(It has possibilies, you know.)
Joe Scorpion says, "We should
hav'e 'Kigmies' in the Physics
Lab. Instead of the 'HunterMonkey'
experiment we could
have the 'Hunter-Kigmy' experiment.
Rossomando would
get a 'kick' out of thalt." (Which
way, Joe??)
Jim O'Keefe eX'pllained, "I'd
like a personal 'Kigmy' in the
form of a differential equation,
reind'orced in the spot where 'X'
occurs." (Reinforced to what
power, Jim??)
"I th:ink," (Hurrah!) Frank Di
Scala said, "that they should be
hand-ed out to It'he instructors to
be used while correcting exams;
thereby the unfortunates might
be less uI1ifortunate." (We know
what you mean, Frank.,)
Albert Russo said, (Switch to
Calvert?) "Kigmies make idela~
equipment for newly-weds. All
Ithey have to do is to 'KliCK-in'
to keep a budget." (There must
be an easier way, Al.)
Jack Mullady likes to see one
in MT. Leeber's French class ''as
a substitute for the 'GONG' that
I kick around."
Dave Roach ,added, "I want
one in Fr. Donnelly's Philosophy
class to replace that poor bird
'Peter' thait's always kicked
around. 'PETE' is sorealbout the
whole thing."
Table Chatter By George Garofalo

Testimonials, etc.
The first quaI"iter of t'he first
semester has passed. Following
in ,its wake, the grumblings of
students are heard rumbling
t'hrough the halls with increasing
crescendo as the exams become
more frequen't and more
difficult. Whalt was a "snap"
,course to some, has proved to
be "an enigma in the infinite
scheme of things." The process
has been reversed for others.
To ease the pent-up tension
wiithin those perplexed stud-ents,
it was suggested Ithat the "Kigmies"
as oonceived within the
mind of M Capp would be ideal.
Thus, our question:
If "Kigmies" existed in reality
as Al Capp portrayed them, in
what class or classes would you
want them stationed?
"All of them!" replied Jim
Linehan. "A fresh supply ad'
'Kigmies' should also be kept
diredtJly below the 'Scholastic
Tree' in the main hall." (Should
they be reinforced, Jim??)
"'Kigmies' should 'be kept in
easy 'KLUTCHing' distance of
room 320, and 'a-VAIL-able' to
room 311," replied Jerry and Joe
Altieri.
Kurt Martha says, "I don't
need a large one - just a
'SMALL' one for History."
John Keogh s'aid, "More 'Kigmies'
should be placed in room
105 .beClause they 'G,et-LEAN'
there."
Charles "Pee-Wee" Sasso replied,
"All the Classes should
have them. Being a Sltudenrt in
Genetics, I would like to attempt
a cross between a 'Kigmy' and
a 'Shmoo: maybe the result'ing
'KIGMOO' may be able to get
me my B.S.P.P. degree." (Is that
the new Bachelor of Science in
Pigeon Plucking, Charlie??)
"I think," (Hear Ye! Hear Yell
Joe Powers pensively sltalted,
"that 'Kigmies' should be kept
in classes where 'those who eat
the leaSlt, eat the most'."
