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.

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,

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.

Juliana Renews Pledge
THE HAGUE, Jan. 6—(AP) —
Queen Juliana today renewed
pledges of Indonesians of free elec
tions and partnership in a sov
ereign government.
(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.

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.
