Open World Seen
As Way To Peace
by Jo* Gardner
Emerald News Editor
“We don’t want a Pax Ameri
cana today, we want only to be
one among others in an open
world," Max Lerner told an aud
ience of students and faculty at
the year’s second University as
sembly Tuesday afternoon in the
Student Union ballroom.
Lerner, a columnist for the New
York Post and professor of Amer
ican civilization at Brandeis uni
versity in Waltham, Mass,, pointed
out that America’s greatness lies
only partly in her material wealth,
technical progress and military
might. "We should stress that, in
the struggle to build a civilization,
America has remained an open
society.”
‘“An open society,” said the
columnist, “involves an open mind
and freedom of choice.” Extend
ing this principle to the world is
seen by' Lerner as our greatest
weapon in the struggle with the
Kremlin.
The speaker outlined his ap

“silent generation,” but is made
Up of individuals who have con
victions and arc beginning to ex
press them. Max Lerner told re
porters at a press conference
Tuesday.
Speaking informally in his hotel
room. Lerner added that he pre
ferred to lecture to college stu
dents because, "their minds are
not yet rigid.” “Even my thoughts
are in a process of change always,"
the journalist commented. After
eight years of research, he has
finished his new book, “America
as a Civilization," which will be
published this month. “And I was
constantly changing it as my
Views changed," he said.
“My book attempts to be like
‘a whole series of searchlights’
upon the American scene, com
bining the study of the social sci
ences into a study of American
civilization,” he said.
Band Tickets!
Now onJSa/e
Reserved seat tickets are now
on sale for the United States Navy
band concert Thursday at 8 p.m
in McArthur court. This is the
first West Coast tour of the band
since 1950 and the first time the
band has appeared in Eugene.
Tickets may be purchased at
the Eugene Music company, Wil
son Music company, Graves Mu
sic and McArthur court. Reserve
seats are $1.80. General admission
tickets will be $1.20.
The ban,d features selections
ranging from Tschaikowsky to
Sousa's "Stars and Stripes For
ever.”
Described by publicity releases
as the "Navy’s finest,” the men
in the band are selected on the
basis of character, intelligence,
and education, as well as their
musicianship.
Their conductor, Lieutenant
Commander Charles Brendler, con
ducts his concerts entirely from
memory. He sees that the band’s
programs cover the tastes of both
student and music master, trying
to give all groups the finest in
musical interpretation.
proach to peace in four essential
steps: 1) the United States should
declare itself ready to fight if
there is no other way for world
unity; 2) we should also be ready
to negotiate and test the sincerity
of the Kremlin when it speaks of
negotiation: 3) we should let it
be known that we feel world prob
lems can be solved by negotiation,
and 4) we should be anxious not
to impose our will on the world,
but rather to strive for this open
world patterned after our open
society.
Quoting liberally from Ameri
can and British thinkers and writ
ers, the short, dark New Yorker
pictured for the audience his con
cept of America’s position in the
world today. Pulling no puncHCs,
the columnist attacked the for
eign policy of the present admin
istration in crisp, staccato phrases.
Leadership Lost
“Secretary of States Dulles has
repeatedly pushed away the pro
posals of our Allies to negotiate
with Russia,” said Lerner. "The
age of the H-bomb has gone far
enough, we must now enter the
age of negotiation," he stressed.
Lerner feels that the leadership
of the "Grand Alliance” of World
| War II has definitely passed from
| the U. S. to Britain. He charact
| ized Churchill as the outstanding
statesman in the western world,
citing him as a man “with enough
flexibility of mind to understand
that the time has come to prevent
the H-bomb from being used.”
President Eisenhower, declared
Lerner, has liot demonstrated such
leadership; ”
Policy Criticized
Other areas of American foreign
policy criticized by Lernef are
the emphasis on German indus

JUDY McLOUGHLIN
Woman of Achievement
Judy McLoughlin, senior in Eng
lish, was selected by Theta Sigma
Phi as the University “Woman of
Achievement” at their annual Mat
rix Table banquet Monday night.
Miss ' McLoughlin was one of
four women in the fields of jour
nalism and letters to receive the
awards at the event. Mrs. Vera
Todd Crowe received the award
for the outstanding Eugene wom
an, and the two awards to women
in Oregon newspaper work went
to Mrs. Mary Conn Brown, co
publisher of the Redmond Spokes
man, and Mrs. Wilma Morrison
of the Oregonian.
Ruth McLean, graduate in jour
nalism, was pledged by Theta Sig
ma Phi, women's journalism hon
orary, at the banquet.
Sister Mary Gilbert, author of
the book “Springs of Silence,"
told “The Story Behind ‘The
Springs of Silence,” as the eve
ning’s principal speaker.
She emphasized that “it was
much easier to write a book than
to recall how it was written,” and
that the problems faced during the
writing all fade into the back
ground when the author is con
fionted with post-publication prob
lems.
The author illustrated the talk
by relating a series of incidents
occurring in the convent, includ
ing a commentary on the interest
shown in her book by the other
sisters. She commented that “the
nearer a book comes to the sub
ject of convent life, the more dif
ficult it is to please the nuns.”
She also admitted that she was
working on another book, and told
her listeners that they would be
the first to know that her second
book would be “Book Number 2.”
