Political Scientist “The university should guard against the sin of radicalism, and the assumption of finality. It should be abstract about partisans of all purpose.’’ In this way the university could be an effective weapon against the cold war, in the opinion of Dr. E. S. Wengert, head of the political science department, who spoke last night in Chapman Hall. Wengert defined the purpose of the university in the state, saying it should cultivate conscious ab stract thinking, and provide stu dents with questions rather than answers. In this way, he believes, the state would learn to face current affairs directly and with reason. “The impact of the cold war on the university is inescapable,” Wengert said. He called his defin ition of the university’s purpose the “Watchtower” task, saying it was the only way to teach students to guard against war hysteria. Wengert’s “Watchtower” defin ition opposes the scholarly, with drawn “Ivory Tower” attitude, which he termed a form of escape. The only alternative, Wengert con tinued, is violence, “which ends the appeal to reason, and the possibil ity of a university.” Wengert’s lecture was the fourth in the current University Lecture Series, Annual Military Ball Features Glenn Henry At 9 Saturday Night 'Winding up the all-campus social calendar tor winter term, the annual Military Ball will he held from 9 to 12 Saturday night at McArthur Court.

Faculty Rating Goes on Today Faculty rating continues today in some 370 classes participating' this year. “Today will be the heavy day be cause so many more students have Friday classes,” Chairman Mildred Chetty remarked. “Rating seems to have proceeded well yesterday,” she said. Students who have suggestions for changing the form may write to Miss Chetty at Delta Gamma or Mortar Board President Marjorie Peterson at Chi Omega, the chair man stated. The senior women’s honorary plans to make a survey of students and faculty at the first of spring term, when the rating is still fresh in their minds. From these results, the organiza tion will revise the forms and send the changes as a suggestion to the ASUO Executive Council to be used in next year’s rating. Mortar Board wanted to change the forms for this year’s rating, Miss Chetty explained, but com ments from department heads in terviewed and professors who had the rating last year indicated that the faculty would prefer to be rated winter term. It was impossible to revise the forms in time for winter term rating, so last year’3 form was repeated. Results from the rating conduct ed yesterday and today will be re turned to individual professors at the beginning of spring term.
