Oriental Books Unearthed in Museum
By DARRELL BOONE
Few of the students that pass
the imposing structure of the Ori
ental art museum each day realize
that within its windowless walls
is housed an excellent library of
more than 5,000 volumes dealing
with the Orient and the Pacific
basin. Entering through the after
noons, between 2 and 5 p.m. every
day except Friday, one follows the
signs. Although the library has al
ways been a reference library, last
3rear the practice was started of
allowing the duplicate copies of
some of the books to circulate for
a short period of time.
Books in this collection are writ
ten in English, Chinese, Japanese,
Russian, German, Persian, Hebrew,
and French. The rarer and more
valuable books are kept in the
cases that line the walls of the
outer room of the library while
there is a smaller inner room that
contains the books on open shelves,
where the students can go to
browse and study.
The library has two sets of books
of which only one other copy
exists in the United States. The
copy of one set is in the library of
congress and the Metropolitan Mu
seum of Art has an incomplete set
of the other. Included in the library
is a catalog of the art collection
of the late George Eumozropoulos
whose collection of Oriental art
was sold to the British museum for
six million dollars. The library has
all but five volumes of this cata
log and hopes to get the rest soon.
The oldest book in the collection
is a Japanese volume of military
exercises.
Naziism Caused by
Nihilists, Says Pauck
By MARGUERITE WITTWER
^“Naziism came out of the last war with men who had no
cultural responsibility of their own. They were nihilists, des
perate men who hated the civilization in which they could find
no place,” declared Dr. Wilhelm Pauck of the University of
Chicago, Thursday, during an interview at the Osburn hotel.
The chief interest of the Nazis is to stay in power, he con
tinued. Their only philosophy is
not a. philosophy at all, but merely
a means of staying in power. And
the only way they could stay in
power was to go to war. No one
can go into Germany from the out
side, after this war; they will have
to reeducate themselves. Saving
Germany from national socialism
■SiKl its after-effects will require
the development of democratic
ideals in Germany.
“War is always followed by dis
illusionment,” Dr. Pauck, a gradu
ate of the University of Berlin,
pointed out. He was refused per
mission to stay in Germany because
of his connection with the under
ground movement which 10 years
ago already was fighting against
the Hitler gang.
“War is never a cure; victory
doesn't settle problems. It is truer
than during the last war that this
war is a war for democracy. It is
essential for all people to believe
in democracy. If they do not be
lieve in what they are fighting and
working for, they defeat them
tVives in spite of victories,” he
added.
The closer alignment of churches
on a worldwide basis will help post
war reorganization because the
churches will be able to enter into
immediate relationship with
churches in the enemy countries
and there will be available a point
of contact which no other field of
cultural endeavor can provide, Dr.
Pauck said. •
Professor of historical theology
at the University of Chicago and
guest speaker for the lectureship
on religion and world politics on
this campus,” Dr. Pauck is a mem
ber of the Federated Theological
faculty which is working for ecu
ij^nical cooperation in the move
ment for world Christianity.

Today's World
THE WORK - OK - JAIL bill
Thursday passed the house and
was sent to the senate. As it now
stands, the decision of whether a
man is needed rests with his
local draft board.
FROM LUZON comes news of
a new landing- at Nasugbu, 20
miles south of Corregidor, the
rescue of 513 Bataan and Cor
regidor prisoners from behind
Jap lines, and of the 6th army
troops’ advance to within 22
miles of Manila.
ACCORDING TO German
broadcasts, vanguards of the
Soviet army are between 30 and
39 miles of Berlin.
THE WESTERN OFFEN
SIVE gained momentum as the
last German foothold was beaten
from Belgian soil. In many
places Allied troops have reached
seemingly deserted parts of
Siegfried line fortifications.

Hungry Shack Rats
Get Story; No Steak
By SHUBERT FENDRICK and
JEANNE SIMMONDS
Her cool limpid eyes looked
into Shubert’s, and she flicked
her lashes coyly. She shook her
smooth brown head with a cas
ual air and ogled the Emerald
reporter. Was she going to
speak to us ? Would she say a
few words for the press ? The
crowd stood breathless as her
lips parted, and, with a look of
casual interest, she cooed in one
well-chosen phrase, "Moo.”
Some of the adventure and ro- j
mance of the old west returned
to the campus yesterday when
a small brown and white calf
fell off a passing truck in front
of Villard.
Then began the chase: we met
our prey coming down Thir
teenth street, and pursued her
to the Anchorage. Proceeding
refreshed from there, we caught
a hurried glance of the art build
ing, McClure, and Friendly as
we followed the trail to Ger
linger. Our muddy footprints
followed hers through the cem
etery, and in front of McArthur
court she was corralled by five
Uni high sophomore minute
men. But she escaped and out
last glimpse of her was as she
galloped into the setting sun
gaily humming, “Don't Fence
Me In.”

Pauck Launches
Talk Session
“Essentially life is good,” de
clared Dr. Wilhelm Pauck, profes
sor of historical theology at the
University of Chicago, in his lec
ture to the student body Thursday
in McArthur court.
Dr. Pauck launched the first
lecture on religion and world poli
tics of a series which will be given
this week on the campus by three
guest speakers. He was introduced
by Acting President Orlando John
Hollis.
Discussing his topic, "Is Re
ligious Faith Necessary for Sound
Political Decision,” Dr. Pauck com
pared the present period in which
new philosophies and economic po
litical organizations are being in
troduced. The bourgeois system in
at a point of exhaustion, he said.
Tilings to Come
Dr. Pauck told of predictions of
Oswald Spengler, author of ' De
cline of the West,” and H. G. Welly,
author of “The Shape of Things to
Come,” which have come to pass.
Decisions of men are greatly in
fluenced by the past, Dr. Pauck
commented. Honest contemporar
ies of an era must be loyal to tra
ditions. We cherish doubts but be
liefs determine all our actions, lie
continued.
Dr. Pauck remarked that the
Nazis designed a new religion wit h
Hitler as the “Almighty One" for
