Because of this, Athens attacked and defeated Melos, killing all the men and enslaving the women and children. Euripides used the well-known Trojan story to attack the Athenians kr this gross atrocity. The pacifistic treatment of Euri-uides has much application to audi-ences today in that he is condem-ning the atrocities of war of any type. Euripides defends the right that any individual has to life. ""In this day and age we are considering shooting our friends and neighbors to keep them out of our fall-out shelters, we might very well ponder the morals of the play,"" stated Dr. C. R. Gillespie, director of the play. Or, more poetically, in the words of Hecuba, the central character of the play: ""Our course of action is The reeling way a madman takes."" Today much of the direct accusation of guilt against the audience is lost, for we do not connect ourselves with the Greeks, but rather with the Trojans. This is the last play of protest Euripides wrote. Whether for policital or personal reasons, or both, he wrote no more plays of protest but rather took psychological refuge in the writing of a kind of ""romantic comedy"". He seemed unable to cope any longer with the madness of his time. SGA Vetoes Compulsory Insurance Compulsory insurance for Tow-son students was turned down by an almost unanimous vote in Tues-day's Senate meeting. The vote came after Senator Anne O'Meara had moved to recommend to Dr. Hawkins the compulsory plan, instead of a voluntary plan approved by the Senate two weeks ago. Senator O'Meara said she thought it a far more worthwhile thing for all students to be covered by a policy with the school. She also pointed out that the cost of the plan would drop considerably should the compulsory deal go into effect. Senator Mike Aezzana then questioned the validity of this state-ment saying it would cost everyone instead of just those who want the insurance. Another Senator pointed out that many students are covered by outside insurance and do not want the school plan.
