SPEAKM&yr o By FRKIJ IIF.ARD Associate F.dltor It is doubtful thnt in the entire history of the United Stntcs there has ever been a president who was more thoroughly idolized by his followers and more thoroughly disliked by his enemies than was Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose spec tacular enrcer ended ns abruptly as It started. He whs on the poiiit of realizing his most prized hope, the utter defeat and unconditional surrender of the Axis powers. It was only five months alter h 1 s ocnth on April 12, 1045 lliat the Japanese surrendered and only one month after his passing that Ger many gave up. Mr. Roosevelt was a maker and breaker of precedents. He was the only person to be elected to the highest office In the land lor more tlum two terms, thus breakup the precedent set in 17U7 bv General Georrje Washington. He was elected a total of four term.: ni.'.j, iii;;f;, ! 1940 and in 1944 and served a tola ol 12 yours 1 month and 8 daw i Cafeteria Serves As Favored Sjjst In KU Scheme He was the seventh president to die In ofllcc. William Henry Har rison was the first; Znchary Tay lor the second; Abraham Lincoln the third: James A. Garfield the fourth; William McKlnlcy the fifth; and Warren G. Harding the sixth. In 1921, when he was 38-years old and apparently in perfect health, President Roosevelt was stricken with the dreaded Infantile paralysis while swimming near his home at Canipobello, New Bruns wick. He brnvely struggled to re p.aiii his health, and though he was never able thereafter to walk with out braces, he did succeed in build ing up in general stamina that was astonishing to nil people as sociated with this grent man. "FUK", as he was nicknamed by the American Press, would have been 74 laM Monday. Senior Spotlight By 111 VHI.K Wit il.MtlK NKA1, If What Is the mo; n-jpnbr place In school?

PEACE By RAEMAKIE NEAL If you'd but sit beside a brook, And watch the changing skies. If you'd but wander through the woodJ. And listen to its sighs, In Just a moment's time you'd find, A wealth that one can't buy, A beauty that's unmnrred by hands, A peace that will not die. KtllTORlAL ROOM l.eli Shrpplcr ..

Youth Views DEMOCRACY By MARGARET OGLE I Speak for Democracy. "It is not the earth. It Is not America, who is so great. It is I, who am great or to be great, It Is you up there, or anyone. It is to walk rapidly through civilizations, governments, the ories. Through poems, pageants, shows, to form individuals. Underneath all, Individuals, I swear nothing is good to me now that ignores individuals. The American compact Is al gether with Individuals. The only government Is that which makes minute of individ uals. The whole theory of the uni verse is directed unerringly to one individual namely to YOU." In these words Walt Whitman tells us something of what makes Democracy so great. Democracy is of, for, and by every Individual. Democracy, giving to each an equal opportunity, according to his abilities: an opportunity to work, or to vote, or to choose which ball team to cheer for. a chance to live In freedom. Op portunity, ours to use, everv day. In almost everything we do, we have a freedom undreamed of In many parts of the world. It is our duty to share this opportunity with others. Democracy is made of simole things, like the grocery store down the street. Small everyday things, all bonded together to form a startling new concept of liberty. A concept that allows us to wor ship, speak, or assemble as we please, and If we please, as long as our ireeaom does not conflic: with the freedoms of others. Democracy is made of h u a e things. Free enterprise creates mammoth industry and huge fac tories fill the sky wilh smoke. With the power of a gieantic scale of production Democracy gives a country leadership among nations. Leadership which i must, by that nations democratic prin ciples, be used for peace. Liberty, equality, democracy. Grand words, but what do they actually mean? Liberty is a priv ilege granted to us in America by the Constitution, and protected by those who have lived before us. Equality gives the same liberties to each. Democracy is commonly defined as: a form of government regulated by a majority of the In dividuals governed. But Democracy is also an ideal, a spirit. Contrast the principle of individuality with the idea of the masses. Liken freedom of will to despotism and anarchy. Compare equal rights for all to special privileges for a few. bought for them with the toil 01 others less-favored. Democracy is the fulfillment of man's strivings to self-expression. All of us are shareholders in this fulfillment. Carpenters are busy building homes, engineers are building bridges, teachers are building minds, and families are building futures. All are building their part in democracy. To most of us in America, Dem ocracy is something passed down from our forefathers, something taken more or less for granted. To a peasant far behind the Iron or Bamboo curtains, perhaps it is nothing more than a vague and garbled impression of bloated cap italists oppressing the struggling mass of common people. To an East Berliner it Is a haven. A haven so desired that many have given their lives trying to attain It, even as America's patriots have given their lives to keep it safe. For freedom of opportunity is something rare and precious, something to be cherished by those who have it, and coveted by those who have not.
