Cooperating with the association in presenting the programs will be the University general extension division and the library. “The lectures intend to relate current trends and problems to great classics in various fields, such as history, government, phil osophy and literature,” explained C.

Attendance will be limited to as sociation members and to Univer sity students. Miss Bernice Rise, readers’ adviser and head of the circulation department of the li brary, is in charge of the program. Daley Emruld Staf Durned Intalekshul It’s a matter of record that not everyone can juggle activities and studies without dropping the whole thing on their toes, but three members of the Emerald staff did it with sensational suc cess last term. Four-points were earned by As sociate Editor Bobolee Brophy, and reporters Gretchen Grondahl and Anita Holmes. Miss Holmes, in fact, is a perennial four-point student. About the only Emerald staff member who failed to make his grades was Jacob Newshound, W'ho is reported to have left school.

Jr. Advisers Meet A meeting of YWCA junior ad visers and chairman of freshman commissions will meet this noon at the bungalow. Every commission must be represented by the adviser and with her, the chairman or vice chairman of the commission. , ot Oestt°d'°" feor ° tAf peace He\d HOP® tor Fear of mutual destruction seems to be the only real hope for peace, Charles P. Schleicher, pro fessor of political science, told Ro tary club members Tuesday. “The old game of international power politics continues,” he said, “and if in the long run war is avoided under these conditions—it will be a reversal of the trends of 6000 years of history,” Reviewing the role of the United ed States in international rela tions during 1948, Schleicher stressed that today’s foremost problem is the role this country is to play in world affairs. Last year saw our most definite peacetime foreign policy since 1914, he said, listing examples of U. S. assumptions, commitments, and actions in the world scene during 1948. National security and economic prosperity are the basic objects of American foreign policy, he said. Although the Marshall plan was “conceived as a positive program of reconstruction . . ..Schleicher continued, it has had some unfav orable results. However, it is still essentially a program to promote European eco nomic cooperation, he asserted, and its success or failure will depend mostly on economic cooperation among participating countries and While the United States has made no important suggestion for strengthening the United Nations, he said, the UN has become a su plement to the American program of European integration, ing against cooperation are eco nomic nationalism and vested eco nomic interest, Schleicher be lieves. a revival of trade between eastern and western Europe. Strongest negative forces work in place of worldwide coopera tion, the U. S. is promoting her security and prosperity by building up her ojvn military power, that of Canada, Latin America, and west ern Europe. Dr. Schleicher added that this country is also making commit ments that in case of attack on one of these powers (and this usually means Russia) that we will come to their assistance. Two decisions bearing on the success of the Marshall Plan and affecting our whole foreign policy —will be up for consideration in 1949. These will be Congressional action on the International Trade Organization charter and work on the reciprocal trade agreements.

(In Washington the U. S. gov ernment took a new slap at the Netherlands’ action in resorting to force in Indonesia. It recalled H. Merle Cochran, U. S. delegate on the U. N. good offices committee in Batavia, on the grounds that Dutch capture of Indonesian lead ers made the U. N. group useless. (At the same time Undersecre tary of State Lovett served notice the United States will not “en dorse or condone a solution by force,” and called upon the Dutch to give a “concrete demonstration” of its intention to satisfy Indone sian aspirations for self-rule.) The queen said Dutch military action in the Indies became un avoidable because of “certain ele ments preferring violence and chaos to peaceful cooperation.” A corrected fault is a profitable gain. Poverty is the common fate of scholars. Life without purpose is life with out interest. Classified Ads WANTED: Independent off-camp us men for basketball team to play in intramurals.

YOUR TELEPHONE must take hard knocks as they come—and go on working. To make sure it can, we test samples of each day’s pro duction and put telephones through the equivalent of years of service in a few hours or days. For example: we drop handsets into their cradles 22,000 times—equal to 4 years’ normal use. And not just once, but from 16 different posi tions, we drop sample telephones from desk-top height onto a hardwood surface. We even check their feet to be certain they won’t scratch your table. Here at Western Electric, we’ve been making Bell tele phones since 1882. But telephones themselves are only about 6% of the equipment used in your service. The other 94% includes wire, cable, switchboards, trucks, poles, tools, office equipment. With the exception of buildings, we make or supply almost everything Bell telephone people use—and test it with utmost care. Guarding the quality of things used in your Bell tele phone service is one way that Western Electric helps to make it the world’s best. Western Electric A UNIT OF THE BELL SYSTEM SINCE 1882
