Current Events Stressed
in Additions to Library
Ky Geneal Cowan
New books recently added to the
seven-day book shelf at the library
'include a wide range of reading
material with emphasis placed on
current events.
Raymond Swing, famous news
commentator, has just published
“In the Name of Sanity." In this
Swing traces the story of the atom
bomb from Dr. Einstein’s find
ings, to the present time. In this
16-page book, Swing advocates
world government and states that
the only other alternative is “world
suicide.”
Liberal Sheean
Vincent Sheean’s “This House
Against This House” is another in
the series which started with “Per
sonal History” and continued with
“Not Peace But A Sword,” and
“Between the Thunder and the
Sun.” Each of these books are pre
sented on the basis of personal ex
perience patterned with historic
facts and each analyzed interna
tional affairs tinged with Sheean’s
^gvotion to liberalism.
Sheean served as lieutenant
colonel in the intelligence branch
of the air forces in both theaters
of the war, witnessing the end of
the struggle with Germany as a
correspondent with General George
S. Patton. He served in Europe
from the battle of the bulge to the
collapse of Germany, returning to
the United States in time for the
San Francisco conference.
Rapid Trip
A rather clever book, “The Great
Divorce,” by C. S. Lewis, has also

been added. In this unusual book
the author tells of his taking an
omnibus from Hell to Heaven. The
fantasy seems to suggest that
souls who have embraced illusion
cannot “enjoy the world of reality.”
The author’s guide to the heavenly
spheres is George MacDonald, who
sums up the philosophy of this
book in a word or two, “No. There
is no escape. There is no Heaven
with a little Hell in it.”
Innocence Takes Sides
Contributing a novel to the new
books is Taylor Caldwell, whose
novel “This Side of Innocence”
tells of the eternal triangle in one
of its more complex forms. Span
ning some twenty years, the novel
tells of the love of Jerome Lindsey
for his brother’s beautiful and in
telligent wife, Amalie.
Other worthwhile additions are
Ernst Lothar's “The Prisoner,”
“The Autobiography of William
Allen White,” a war correspondent
Frank Gervasi’s “To Whom Pales
tine?” “Yankee Ships in China
Seas,” by Daniel Henderson, “The
Life Line,” by Phyllis Bottome,
and Margaret Campbell Barnes’
“My Lady of Cleves.”

Float Dope
Float Chairman Dick Savinar
asked that all floats assemble at
2:30 and that they be properly
marked with their number and
order in the parade. He outlined
the course as follows: Beginning
at the depot, the parade will move
to Eleventh and Alder, to Thir
teenth and Alder, then down past
Johnson hall on Thirteenth avenue.
It wall begin at 4.
Despite the overeager Phi Gam
ma Delta mascot-dog, who casualh
and blandly trotted over the east
stands of the court and crashed
through the green - and - white
striped canopy sheltering the
singers, the Fijis finished their
number, “Song of the Plains,” and,
whether for dog or singers, brought
a round of applause from the stu
dents and mothers assembled for
the sixth annual sing.
Song Leaders
The following organizations and
their song-leaders were: Sigma
