Atomic rower.*.
Atomic Power! Everyone from Roy Acuff to H. Tru
man lias been impressed and awed by those words. Since
July, 1945, when the first atomic bombs were dropped, mil
lions of words have been written about the little atom and its
big potentialities.
We have read articles and heard speeches about the ethi
cal, practical, economic, political, social, humanitarian, re
ligious, and moral aspects of atomic energy and atomic bombs.
We have heard rumors that Russia is already manufacturing
them; we have heard estimates of our own supply; we have
heard wild stories and seen exciting pictures in the news
reels. We have even read Pat Frank’s fascinating account
of what would happen if an atomic explosion rendered all
the males on the earth sterile and only one man retained his
potency. (“Mr. Adam’’ by Pat Frank, J. B. Lippincott Co.,
N. Y.)
But most of us do not know very many facts about atomic
power.
Tonight we have a chance to find out some of them.
Tonight at 8 p. in. Dr. Henry Smyth will discuss atomic
bomb development in 207 Chapman. Sigma Xi. national
science honorary, and the University lectures committee are
co-sponsors.
We suggest that everyone interested more in facts than
in rumor and speculation attend this lecture. Perhaps many
of the world’s ills can be traced to a lack of adequate infor
mation on the part of the public. In a democracy particu
larly, the people who are enabled to exert much pressure on
those individuals in a position to act for the benefit of or
the detriment of all of us, must realize their duty to be well
informed.
Tuna San and a Shake
Sometimes when the weather is like it was yesterday—
cool, windy, with pale lemon sunshine and dry autumn leaves
skittering across the campus lawns already turning- fresh
frozen pea green—we wonder just what it is that we miss
most in Kugene.
At about 4 :d0 in the afternoon when that candybar from
the co-op doesn’t even make a dent in our appetite, it is
probably food.
Food—where in Kugene can we find really sensational
foods. The campus restaurants have meat pie and creamed
chicken and hamburgers. Some of them have steaks of a
sort, and french fried potatoes. And for a salad you’ll get
a teaspoon of cubed beets cold with a scrap of hard-boiled
egg.
There are a few places where you can find good fried
rabbit, or New Orleans shrimp, or maybe a passable crab-on
ihe-half shell. Sometimes you get a really good dinner when
a fraternity or sorority is rushing. Keen banquets are stereo
typed: turkey, cranberry sauce, peas, mashed potatoes, ice
cream. Inspiring? Not very.
Now what we would like to see is the establishment of
two or three fine restaurants near the campus. Places with
atmosphere. Places with menus that will live in your memory.
For instance, we’d like to see a local restaurant featuring
bouillabaise like it's made in Marseilles or New Orleans, or
Chinese and Japanese dishes made by Chinese and Japanese
cooks, or \rmenian food, or good Scandinavian dishes, or a
nice Sauerbraten, or a good tongue of veal marinated in san
terne or a duck basted with chablis or a California ahalone
, , . • ,tiV. i
steak, hor dessert wed like a tfozen' torte or a chocolate
bombe or light dry meringue shells with frozen custard filling
and whipped cream.
What will we have for dinner tonight? W hy a nice meat
loaf, canned corn, and maybe a piece of store-bought apple
pie, of course.
Toward One World
United Nations Security Council
Powers Outlined by Law Student
(Editor’s note: The following article was written
by Mary C. Crombie for the One World club. Miss
Crombie, a senior in law, will accompany Ted Hallock
as a University delegate to the Pacific Northwest
College Congress later this term.)
By THE ONE WORLD CLUB
The Charter of the United Nations in seeking to
set up an organization which will maintain world
peace and security provides for the pacific settle
ment of international disputes which might lead
to a breach of the peace. Article 33 of the Charter
places upon the individual member states the obli
gation to seek peaceful settlement of their disputes
by “negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, ar
bitration, judicial settlement, resort to regional agen
cies or arrangements or other peaceful means of their
own choice."
Under this article the United Nations will not in
terfere until it becomes apparent that the member
states are not able to settle their disputes without en
dangering international peace and security.
Breach of Peace
Unless the dispute will lead to a breach of the
peace the security council is powerless to act. Article
34 however, provides the council with authority to
investigate individual disputes in order to determine
whether the situation will lead to international
friction. The council may investigate the dispute only
to determine whether or not the dispute might en
danger international peace and security. Once the
council has determined that the sipute of a serious
nature and it becomes apparent that the disputants
cannot settle their disagreement, the council may
make recommendations to the parties as to the terms
of settlement. If the disputants do not settle the dis
agreement peacefully, either in accordance with their
own terms or on the recommendations of the council,
and the parties evidence their intention to resort to
war, the council may call upon the armed force of
the United Nations to force the disputants to a set
tlement.
General Assenrfrly
The security council and the general assembly do*
not have concurrent jurisdiction as did the assembly
and council under the League of Nations. The security
council is the body which is given the power and au
thority to oversee the pacific settlement of disputes
among nations.
The international court of justice is not given
obligatory jurisdiction in case of disputes, although
Article 36 contemplates that legal disputes should
be submitted to the court, but the parties are not
obliged to do so. This same flaw appeared in the
Covenant of the League of Nations.
The Charter provisions set up the necessary ma
chinery for pacific settlement of international dis
putes, and with the co-operation of the member states,
war as a means of settling international disagree
ments may no longer be necessary.
Footnotes
From the Editors
Scrapbook
Armies have colonels, corpora
tions have vice-presidents, and col
leges have deans. Deans are nice
people. They have telephones. They
have carpets. They say, “What ho!
my good fellow.”
Deans are hand shakers in recep
tion lines. Deans are delegates at
conventions. Deans make speeches.
Deans read the erudite magazines.
Deans meditate and when alone,
sing softly to themselves, “Curricu
lar, curricula, curriculum.”
Deans are as necessary to a col
lege as chromium is to a car. With
out deans and cromium you have
only junk piles.
Some deans dean from eight to
five, others dean intermittently, and
still others conduct front porch
campaigns; but all deans dean en
thusiastically. If there is doubt in
your mind, ask a dean whether or
not he is an important fellow. One
seldom hears of a dean giving up his j
job to become a baseball umpire or j
a front man at a carnival. Occa
sionally one forgets his dignity and
becomes a college president but
such a one is immediately read out
of the party, disbarred, and placed
on the black list.
A visit to a dean’s office is always
a big event in a student’s life. To
receive a “come” card is as emo
tionally up-setting as to get an
“alert” in a combat zone. Statistics
show that few students pass away
during the waiting period and few
faint during the interviews, but the
strain is terrific and the experience
devastating.
It is unfortunate that long tradi
.ion governs the attitudes toward
lean-student relationships because
the dean is a kindly soul, is pure of
heart and is hungry for human con
tacts. He gets lonely. What can be

done about it is a question because
every student is fed propaganda
about deans from an early age. The
rule in child-culture is that when
the boogieman trick wears out, the
parents are to start in on the “dean”
scare. The last advice given by a
dad to a son on the day college opens
is, “Look out for the dean.”
Heaven will bless you if you are
kind to deans.
