The great photo club wntr versy continues into “5 second week. Neither gﬁe seems to know what's going to happen next. Club members‘are hoping that the Sument Council will forget dw whole thing.

‘ do with hardships encount-

ered and the many adventures in his journey which culminet ates in a final battle of good and evil. There are many different

' facets of this book which will characterize Tolkien as one of the great authors of the century. The phenom? enal depth to which Tolkien goes in making this workd real is enough to label the man a genius. The physical continuity og the History, Geography, Language, and Culture of these books is in itself amazing. Tolkien's

To illustrate my point I have chosen a description from the second book The Two Towers. As I.find Tol— kien at his best in descr— iptions of the strange or grotesque I have taken just such a passage,but this is not to say the book is all like this.

Actually, the girls are the ones who had better be pre— pared to.make a quick exit out of the Barn's side door. You can imagine the type of girl the men from Memorial

themselves warrant reading these books.

Perhaps the only thing I should say is that read and see for yourself. The books are extremely hard to get at any of the libraries around but they can be bought in pa— pérback at the Bookmart for
