rainee tops campus strength competition
by Sadie Baulch
Hercules of Troy is Robert Carl Anderson, Sigma Chi, 18-year-old freshman naval trainee. Officially announced by naval authorities as the strongest man on the campus, Anderson is 5 ft. 10 in. tall and 167 pounds of handsome blondness.	S>
Results of Anderson’s navy physical fitness test: squat-thrust, 38 (per minute); sit-up, 103; push-up, 85; squat-jump, 50; pull-up, 24; class 1 swimmer. He received a letterman’s sweater for gymnastics at SC last week.
Virile force and youthful good looks are an observer’s first
impression of likeable Anderson. A charming grin showing-even white teeth is as characteristic of the brown-eyed trainee as his marvelous physique. Personality exudes from his springy stride and the way his eyes sparkle with humor.
A gob suit can no more hide his individuality than it can his muscles rippling under the blue flannel. There are no priorities on his emotions, and he is open for propositions.
A V-12 naval student since July 1, Anderson is majoring in transportation. History repeats itself, for his father attended SC at the expense of the government after World war 1 as a student in transportation.

Flewelling upholds western culture
“Will our culture continue?” is the theme of Professor Ralph Tyler Flewelling’s new book, “The Survival of Western Culture,” which was published last month by Harper and Company. Head of the school of philosophy, Dr. Flewelling has been at SC for 26 years.
In addition to this latest volume, he has written also “Creative Personality,” “The Reason in Faith,” and “Christ and the Dramas of Doubt” among other works.
The “Survival of Western Culture” was inspired by the pessimism of Spengler’s book, “The Decline of the West.” Dr. Flewelling’s volume suggests the influence in his thinking of the present world situation and indicates its concern both with the forces that have made western civilization and those which can preserve it from disaster.
Competent, rich in insights and basically optimistic, “The Survival of Western Culture” shows how the West developed a distinctive concern for the individual, and what the West must do to preserve itself from disintegration from within and assault from without.
The kernel of the book is expressed in this hopeful prophecy of the author: “The West, instead of reaching the nadair of accomplishment, shows by its spiritual discontent with material achievements the greatest promise of advance to new mental and spiritual goals.”
Prominent among the many reviews on Dr. Flewelling’s book is that in Time, July 19, which states, “ ‘The Survival of Western Culture’ is a civilized and humanized message on the pitfalls and choices which are now before Wesfem man.”
DR. FLEWELLING . . book acclaimed.

Nordskog tells of world revolt
Contrasting Pitirin Sorokin’* views on war as expressed in “Man and Society in Calamity” and Harold J. Laski’s ideas as recorded Jn “Reflections of the Revolutions of Our Times,” Dr. John Eric Nord--..skog, professor of sociology, explained the pessimism that Sorokin reveals and the definite revolutionary change Laski suggests, in his talk in Mudd hall yesterday.
Sorokin, a Russian and professor of sociology at UCLA, says that totalitarianism will not be abolished immediately following a signing of a peace treaty but that problems arising from this Influence will remain for Americans to combat, listing eighteen of these important problems frankly. Sorokin does see one ray of hope if the world can return to a sense of moral duty as set down by the teachings of God.
Laski, an intellectual leader of the British labor party and considered a left-wing radical, takes more of a materialistic point of view, as explained by Dr. Nordskog, he is of the opinion that mere reflection on history will not help the establishment of a more workable, peaceful postwar period, a deviation from the general historical pattern is the real necessity. In this deviation the economic situation should be the basis of consideration.
