As an alumnus of the University
who took his degree some time ago,
before the advent of longhairs,
freaks, and Communists, I write
now to warn the University community
of a great danger. A new
motion picture from France (produced
by the Bolsheviks I imagine)
entitled "Z" sheds some light
on a subversive group at the
University, the Z Society. The film
is the story of so-called liberal
reformers (really Communists) in
modern Greece whose leader is
murdered. His followers run around
painting "Z" everywhere as a
symbol for "he lives." It is a
terrible film which has two morals:
first, that Z's are bad things and
second, that Z's painted on buildings
are insurrectionary!
I always wondered while in
Charlottesville what all those Z's
stood for. Now I know: Revolution.
Who ever would have suspected
such a respectable group as
the Z's? I suggest that the Dean of
Students look into the Z Society
and whether, indeed, it is made up
of effete intellectual snobs or
liberals.
In closing, let me add that Mr.
Jefferson never used the letter Z as
far as is known by reputable
historians.
