series in Bowne hall.
The work, written in 1940, deals with our fight against fascism and offers a comparison between the practical, or pragmatic, liberal, the villain of the piece, and the idealistic liberal, whose views are favored by the author.
“Mumford’s book is very readable,” Dr. Lefever commented. “The author’s style is direct and forceful, with many definite ideas expressed in a series of short, pertinent chapters.
The author takes issue with the pragmatic liberal’s belief that the main current of liberalism is science and also with his utopianism. The practical liberal, Mumford says, lives in the present, regarding the past as stupid. He further criticizes this individual’s conception of education as merely a means of fitting one for making a living.
Mumford identifies himself with the idealistic liberal. The idealistic liberal, he believes, recognized the place of the church is the community and modern life. In contrast with the pragmatic liberal, the idealist believes in a life after death, feels that the man who fears death is a slave. '
Analyzing the major views expressed in “Faith for Living,” Dr. Lefever said, “While I am in complete agreement with the author on most points, I feel that he included a little too much of the element of contrast, too. much "black and white,” omitting the shades of gray between.”

to arouse student standards during examinations.
At this closed meeting, the first of its kind this term, Caldwell reported on the findings of the Honesty committee—whys, wherefores, and remedies for the cheating situation. Three basic reasons for cheating during examinations were reiterated by Caldwell.
1.	Self defense. “Everybody else cheats so I have to cheat too.”
2.	Unfair examinations. “Professors ask unnecessary questions and cover unimportant details in examinations.”
3.	Temptation and opportunity. “I should take advantage of the
situation.”
Prior to Caldwell’s discussion of the cheating situation, President Rufus B. von KleinSmid told the student body that “Cheating is to my mind the most stupid thing a student can do in college. The faculty to a man is going to do its part to let every man and woman show what he can do during examinations — honest examinations for honest students.”
Two basic counter-attacks on examination cheaters were suggested by Caldwell: an honor system and student proctoring. Explaining the proctor system more folly, 'Caldwell said, “An Honesty committee consisting of four members has been set up to 'elect the student proctors for examinations. One proctor for every 20 students will be required for examinations an hour or longer.”
In addition to appointing the student proctors, the Honesty committee will serve as a clearing house for new ideas to combat cheating, to hear complaints, and to enforce the newly set up standards, Caldwell said. The Honesty committee members are Robert Meyers, Robert Patterson, Patty Wiese, and Louise Koch.
“There is now no excuse for going back to the old system,” Caldwell emphasized yesterday. “Monday’s assembly did definitely change student attitude and coordinated effort to stop the infamous practice of cheating.” The fact that the proctoring system is not to catch cheaters but is to insure honest students of fair examination conditions was brought out.

(In Washington, President Roosevelt hailed the capture of Foggia as one of the most important strategic successes yet won by the Allies because of the projection of the bombing offensive its airfields will make possible.)
From Foggia, too, Allied fighters and attack bombers can now operate in direct support of fifth army troops who have battered their way one to two miles deeper inside the German hedgehop positions. shielding Naples in fierce fightinp that has cost the enemy 8000 men.
After chasing German rearguards one-third the way up -the Italian peninsula without firing more than a few long range shots at .them, the eighth army overhauled the enemy Monday at Foggia.
Luftwaffe personnel had left the Foggia airfields several days ago as approaching British artillery made them untenable, but German troops remained strongly entrenched in the town of 60,000, which is an important terminal of lateral railroads to the Naples area. Detached from the eighth army’s vanguard at Cerignolr, 22 mile* to the southeast, a motorized flying column roared into Foggia and caught the German’garrison squatting at its cook stoves.

U.P. reporter tells folly of censorship
Blue Key
. . . will meet today at 12:45 in 233 Student Union.
Censorship is one of the greatest obstacles a correspondent on a war front has to cope with, Bob Miller, United Press correspondent who covered the Guadalcanal campaign, told journalism students when he spoke Monday at 1 p.m. in 206 Administration.
“Many a good story has gotten no further than the censor’s wastebasket because of the supposed objectionable material the copy contained,” Miller said.
One of the best scoops he had written was on the invasion of Guadalcanal, but because it was sent in code, censors did not let it go through. They believed that if the coded material fell into enemy hands, it would be compared with the story released later and that the coding system would be detected.
‘The knowledge of available communications is one of the best assets a correspondent can have at his command,” Miller told the journalists.	•
“Writing the story is essential but getting it to readers is just as vital,” he said.
The fight at Guadalcanal was all that was written about it, Miller informed the group, and the statistics on the number of planes shot
down, ships sunk, and men killed or wounded tdre accurate.
Webb Miller solved the problem of being able to “scoop” other correspondents when he was covering a procession led by the King and Queen of England when they visited the United States. He attached to $5 bills descriptions of the parade as it progressed with instructions to phone the information into the United Press and keep the money. Miler thereby obtained a clean beat on other reporters who wrote their stories after the parade was over, the speaker related.	♦ • •
Miller, after attending the University of Nevada, worked for seven years with United Press.
