Two petitions have been circu- lating the campus objecting to the "intellectual content" of the maga- zine and two poems in particular. John Pace, third-year arts stu- dent, said that in a random survey 30 or 34 students had disparaging remarks ranging from "vulgar" and "disgusting" to poor taste on the contents of the magazine. The poems were by McMaster undergraduates Cyril Harvey Deroo. In Genesis I, Mr. Gibson, assist- ant editor of The Muse, writes a "hip" version of the creation of the earth from the viewpoint of God. It begins: "In the beginning I created heaven and earth, "I remember it well. "Time: 9:25 a.m, "Place: Chaos. "My name is God. "Tm a deity. "That cold morning I was sit- ting around listening to St. Michael wail with a riff." Mr. Deroo's poem, entitled Elec- tion No. 3 depicts the platforms of two candidates -- sin and God. God, according to the poem, is the "dark horse". Rev. P. R. Clifford, dean of men at McMaster, said that he had received complaints from outside, but preferred to leave the matter to student comment. Dr. N. H. Parker, principal of the McMaster Divinity College, said, 'I deplore such things,' but my policy is to ignore them. TORONTO -- Canadian tourist Officials and resort operators have expressed no alarm at United States President Kennedy's pro- posal to reduce the value of tax- free goods which American 'tourists may bring back to the U.S. to $100 from $500. Alan Field, director of the Cana- Gian government travel bureau, Said the restrictions likely would affect European countries more than Canada, since U.S. citizens buy there, large items such as art works and automobiles. John Fisher, executive director of the Canadian Tourist Associa- tion, predicted the move would hit hardest at Europe and Mexico. However, he said the association had asked unsuecessfully that Can- ada be excluded from the proposed move after getting advance word of it. George A. Martin, past president of the Association of Tourist Re- sorts of Ontario, said: "We don't think it's a serious factor: it may even help us." He said fewer Aniericans would be inclined to go to Europe LOS ANGELES -- James H. White told a judge that his wife, Gertrude, caused his chronic in- soiinia. "That's something new in divorce complaints,' Judge Newcomb Con- dee observed. "T had good reason to stay awake, Your Honor," said White. "Once I missed my razor and found it under my wife's pillow. She said one 'night I would go to sleep and the next morning only my body would get up -- my head would still be on the 'pillow."' "Divorce granted,' said judge. the Ken Gibson and} LANSING, Mich. -- "'Fill'er up," the motorist told the gas station attendant. And he did--or tried to. While wiping the windshield, the | attendant noticed the gasoline pour- ing on the pavement as fast as it was going into the little hole in the fender. "Oh, I forgot to tell you," the motorist said, "the gas tank is on the back seat." And it was. He explained the move, saying that thieves had been draining the tank at night, BRISTOL -- The sign outside a} lemonade factory in suburban 'Kingswood read: "Notice to intending intruders. 'Do not waste your time and energy | breaking into these premises. We bank all cash daily. No cash is left on the premises over night." Friday night a gang broke into the factory and drove away with a safe containing £70 ($196). WHANGAREI, New Zealand -- The mouth-to-mouth method of ar- tificial respiration was carried to the extreme by a farmer in north- ern New Zealand. A bantam hen fell in a drum of skim milk and ap- peared drowned when pulled out. 'But the farmer opened the ban- tam's beak, stuck its head info his mouth and blew. The hen revived in 15 minutes. QU'APPELLE, Sask. -- In the old days Qu'Appelle used a bell to sound the alarm when there was a fire. With modernization, this main- line town 30 miles east of Regina installed a new fire siren whose wail can be heard all over the area. But the old bell still sits atop a wooden structure with its rope tied well out of reach of the small fry. The younger generation had never heard the ringing of the an- cient firebell -- until one recent night. When it began to ring wildly and erratically at midnight, only a few rof the older men rolled out to de- termine the cause. The culprits were found -- three stray dogs returning from a romp in the country noticed the rope had come loose and was dangling in the wind. They were having a gay time pulling on it and swinging by their teeth. STRATFORD, Ont. -- Menu for a church supper here was rice, bread and water.

He used a No. 2 iron to sink his drive on the 185-yard second 'hole. On the fifth, his-7-4ron shot trickled into the cup, 160 yards from the ter. Willige finished the 18-hole round with a 73, one over par. He said he has much more ex- citement in store. Mrs. Willige is in an Atlanta hospital where the family doctor has said she may give birth to twins.
