Somerville Advocates World Understanding 4. The importance of a calm study of social philosophy is more . important today than ever before, for failure of understanding in j ^his field could mean complete destruction of the human race. This is the opinion of Dr. John Somerville, American philoso t pher, author of ‘ Soviet Philosophy” and “Methodology in Social ' Science. The Columbia graduate, now a visiting professor at j Stanford university, spoke on the campus last night on “Philoso phy and Its Place Today.” At this important historical moment, he said, ‘isms’ have r taken the center of the stage. | Although they are not the only -cause of war, they are import I ant factors. Dr. Somerville recommended UN ESCO as one place where conflict ing world philosophies could be - reconciled. A main endeavor of that branch of the United Nations, he said, is to inquire calmly into " tensions affecting international understanding. Dr. Somerville believes that with the right attitudes, conflicting ‘isms’ can be brought to a point of at least toleration of each other, just as religions have reached that point. We don’t say that the Methodists, for example, can't send mission aries to China, said the follower of philosopher John Dewey. Neither must we say to the followers of an other social philosophy, he contin ued, that since we are right, they cannot proselytize. “We must choose in this day be tween the Christian spirit of honest Can't Take 'em With You, or Which Twin Has The Phonies NEW YORK, April 14—(AP)—Strip tease artists Georgia Sothern and Joann Collier battled it out early yesterday on a Manhattan side _ walk—with no holds barred. Apparently Georgia won, even though flattened three times. At least, she is still star of the floor show at Bradley’s on East 54th street. The two disagreed over who gets the closing spot in the show— and who wears the falsies. The two punched, scratched and bruised each other until separated by a couple of brave males. Arnold Shields, an assistant manager at Bradley’s and a ringsider - at the street fight in front of the nightspot at 3:45 a.m. told it this way: Blonde Joann had he closing spot in the show until about a week ago when blonde Georgia took over her spot. There was a clash of " temperaments. Then, Georgia said, Joann “accused me of wearing falsies.” “In my trade,” she said, “the wearing of falsies is impossible.” Joann insisted, however. But she admitted: To be fair, I don’t know if Georgia wears her falsies when she - strips. But I do know she wears them in her evening dress.” The last words of the combatants were: Georgia—“I could have taken her but I really don’t want to fight” Joann—“She appears puny to me.” I, WHEN YOU WANT A CAR THE NUMBER FOR QUICK, COURTEOUS SERVICE IS 600 Terminal Taxi Company 450 Willamette IT’S PICNIC TIME So You'll Need • • • Suntan Lotion • Mixer • Ice Cream • Candies • Soft Drinks • Picnic Utensils LEMON-O directly across from Sigma Chi investigation, and popularity. We must put forth an effort not just to improve the future, but to HAVE a future,” said Somerville. "Otherwise there may be an act of cosmic infant mortality," The human race is too yong to die, he said. Great possibilities—interplan etary navigation, for example—are just ahead. But another war could destroy this human race that is less than a million years old. In speaking of the needs for a philosophy, Dr. Somerville pointed out that everyone, in just making the decisions of everyday life is a philosopher. His only choices are whether he will be, a consistent or inconsistent philosopher, and a con scious or unconscious one. Philosophy recognizes the need of the individual to come to terms with totality. The only alternative to this integration, is suicide. Local Girl Falls At Symphony Fifteen steps in McArthur court will long be remembered by De lores Robb, 16-year-old Eugene high school student. She hit every one of them when she fell down the Igloo stairs after the Mitrop oulos concert Friday.
