Materialism Leads To War-Thompson
“The ideal of wealth at any cost leads to war,” Dr. Merritt M. Thompson, professor of education, asserted yesterday at the weekly luncheon of the Men’s Faculty club.
In presenting his talk on “Education for Permanent Peace ” Dr. Thompson maintained that the task facing education is to create a state of mind

American officials predicted that the Soviet request does not have a chance. They indicated fhey could not take at face value the Russian contention that Iran’s complaint caught Russia by surprise. They also were at a loss to explain the Russian assertion that Soviet-Iranian negotiations are now going on.

or motivation which is opposed to the materialistic point of view heretofore held by nations and individuals.
Dr. Thompson has prepared an eight-point program which he believes necessary to fulfill the aim of educating the people of every nation in the peace and the harmony of living.
First poinC of the program is that the schools must teach the concept of human value and that this value should always be the criteria of man’s behavior.
Secondly, the schools must endeavor to teach rational thought to students. The third aspect of the program is that schools should train for leadership, for it is from the students of today that the leaders of tomorrow come.
Education should attempt to present all subjects in relationship to the social or human point of view, , constitutes the fourth part of the proposed program.
.The fifth point would have national and international issues dealing with the prospect of war discussed openly in the classroom, with complete frankness. Closely related to the previous point is the following one which would also have discussed the lesser contributory causes of war discussed in classes with equal frankness. In the seventh point, Dr. Thompson calls for adult education which must be of increasing importance and influence.
Lastly, Dr. Thompson maintains that educational and other authorities must support and make known to the general public the International Education and Cultural organization of the United Nations Organization.
Dr. Thompson in his address, sought to show that there is no materialistic defense against the atomic bomb and that the only way to meet war-devised cataclysmic catastrophies is to prepare a mental attitude that is similar to the ages old “golden rule.”
“The financial and industrial leaders in our country and Great Britain were not without blame for the rise of dictators,” he stated.
Dr. Thompson continued by saying that there is not only no material defense against the use of the atomic bomb but there is no defense against any weapon of modem warfare.
“The practice of the human value and the common good first,

Hadley to Aid New Students
Lower division students in • the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, wil! have an opportunity today at 2:15 p. m. in 351 Administration to have any questions they may have concerning the general requirements of the university explained to them by Paul E. Hadley, instructor in international relations.
This educational counseling service which was inaugurated last term under the supervision of Albert S. Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, seeks to aid confused students who do not know what university and department requirements they must meet in order to plan future programs which adequately fulfill these needs.
The first of a series of group conferences to be held during the current semester, there will be opportunities for individual questions as well as a chance to arrange individual conferences with
Mr. Hadley.
“These conferences are particularly for ne® students in the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, but all who wish may attend,” stated Mr. Hadley.
In addition to these regular group conferences, meetings for students in different fields have been planned.
Scheduled as the first of these specialized meetings is the one to be held by the School of Public Administration. At this conference Dean Emery E. Olson will be present to answer all questions pertaining to that school.
Mr. Hadley declared that as many as eight such meetings might be held during the term. Conferences for individual colleges and schools will be scheduled when enough requests are obtained from students enrolled in the particular field, he added.
Bow-Ties To Reign At Dance
Wesley Club to Give Prizes for Most Horrible Neckwear
All the “cats” will strangle as they prepare for the Wesley club - sponsored “Bow-tie Brawl.” The scramble will take place Friday night at the University church, beginning at eight p. m. and continuing past the witching hour.
“Prizes will be offered for the most elaborate, offensive, and concealing bow-ties. If the haberdashery covers the lower portion of a hairy jaw, it’s proper,” stated fashion expert Betty Fiske, who is also prexy of the Wesley club.
Tunes for the event will be garnered from the 250 hit parade record collection of the club. Refreshments to strengthen the weak and weary will be offered at various intervals.
“This dance is not the Ox Bow-tie Incident,” Dr. Wendell Miller, counselor for the group, stated emphatically. “It is a well-groomed dance where collegiate bow-ties will predominate.”
For the female segment, the following rules were issued, “Date dresses with heels, sweaters and oxfords, or any other wearing apparel.”
The mellow session wiir also offer floor prizes. “When the music stops, the couple nearest a predesignated spot receives the prize,” explained Jeanne Alexander, chairman of decorations.
Special numbers have been cooked up be the program committee. Featuring student talent, the program will spotlight the gent who popularized the bow-tie, alias Mop-head.
“We have gone to great expense to secure his services, and have outlined a program featuring his best numbers,” a club attache announced.
“We invite all those who attend the Red Cross variety show to amble over and partake of the festivities,” said Miss Fiske. “We guarantee a super show at one of the first all-U, on-campus dances of the semester.”

Spirited Scribe Cops A Gander At La Tertulia
Memoirs of an Embarrassed Reporter:
“Go on down to La Tertulia,” they said. “They’re having a meeting; see what’s going on.”
Just my meat. Speeches1-! murder ’em. Just iet me at this La Tertulia stuff. I’ll get a Pulitzer.
So what happens? I slip into the meeting and get out my paper and pencil and open up my ears, and what do I get? Spanish, that’s what. Gobs of it, rolling, musical, comfortable, precise Spanish. And me, in French lb.
That’s only the beginning. After I’ve been sitting there about ten minutes, the speaker, who it turned out was La Tertulia sponsor Dorothy McMahon, SC lecturer in Spanish, turned to me and cut loose with a blinding torrent of totally unintelligible Spanish, but a very clear gesture of the hands which I could see meant, "I don’t know who you are, but anyway, get up and say something.”
Let us draw tight the curtains of mercy at this point. Let It suffice to mention that La Tertulia got themselves a hearty laugh at 3:15 Wednesday afternoon.
Stray Creeks Seek Queen

Aspirants are required to have completed one term at another college or university before entering at SC. Pictures of the entrants and name of the institution previously attended must be presented at the Stray Greek desk, 225 Student Union.
Stag Party in Student Lounge Tonight To Feature Hancey, Eddy, Cravath, Holt
In line with its service-to-the-university policy, Bhit Key. national service honorary, will sponsor a smoker tonight at 7 in the Student Union lounge. Purpose of the affair is to acquaint newly enrolled men students with the university,
its tradition and its customs.
“Due to the encouraging attendance at last Friday night’s afl-U dig, which proves that there are many new students interested in the university, we really expect a lar*e turn-out for tonight’s program,’* stated Phil Burton, Blue Key president.
“The university didn’t sponsor an orientation program thia term as Is the usual custom, and I think this Is an excellent opportunity for all the new men students to become orientated, to find out what Is ‘behind the scene,’ and makes this institution function ss efficiently as tt does,* added Burton.
An interesting program, one that should appeal to anyone attending, has been planned, and some items of interest will be discussed that will be of aid to all new students.
Representatives from nearly all organizations on campus will be present and topics discussed win range from job placements for veterans to the part that SC scientists played in winning the war.

Berkes Gives Proof Of Allied Cooperation

Germany.
Arriving in Berlin with the first American contingent of the control council, Dr. Berkes said that from August 1 to 10 they merely sat around.
Among the points of policy on which the four powers found themselves in violent disagreement was the problem of denazification. The Americans wanted to root out nazi elements not only at the higher levels of officialdom but all the way down the line. To this the British, Russian, and French representatives were opposed. Dr. Berkes expressed his agreement with the latter point
of view.
What to do with German industry was another point of sharp controversy in the control council.
Dr. Berkes emphasized repeatedly the close cooperation of the Russians and the difficulties in interpretation and translation which were #ncountered.
Religion Counselors Seek Ex-Chaplains
All former chaplains on campus, as well as active and provisional members of the Council of Religion will meet in the senate chamber, 418 Student Union, at 2:15 p.m. today, according to Don Gibbs, president.
Completion of the plans for Religious Emphasis week will be discussed. Any student interested in religious activities is invited to attend the meeting.
The time limit for obtaining applications for membership in the Council of Religion has been extended until tomorrow. Applications may be obtained from Mr. J. Randolph Sasnet, executive secretary of the Council of Religion, in the council office in the Lounge,
“Not an impressive-looking thing —not nearly as impressive as the great 200-inch telescope,” the Science News Letter has nonetheless expressed the belief that the electron miscroscope may well prove to be one of the most important of all recent contributions extending man’s observance of the minute to heretofore unbelieved - of dimensions, is now daily helping bacteriologists, chemists, and other scientists see things in startling detail which they have never seen before.
Such a microscope of the latest type, developed in the research laboratories of the Radio Corporation of America, now stands in the Basement of the Allan Hancock foundation building — an important part of the department of experimental medicine at SC. It is one of three to be found in the Los Angeles area.
Under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Peas, the microscope has been used by the department for many months in experiments, the nature of which are yet to be disclosed. In describing the machine.
In performance, the electron microscope can enlarge to 100,000 diameters whereas the optical Iftnit is 2000 diameters. Such things as bacteriophage, antibodies, and even large molecules known to exist, but never seen before, have been readily photographed under the searching eye of the electron microscope.
The principle of the machine, as the name implies, incorporates a stream of electrons which are concentrated and directed on the field of study. The electrons supplant light and need an intense vacuum in which to scan the field. A hot wire, housed in a pure gold mounting is the source of the electrons which are diffused by a 50.000 volt driving force into a cylinder containing two coils acting as lenses.
The first coil concentrates the stream of electrons to a degree not varible by any more than plus or minus .005 percent. The electrons pass through the field and the second coil which in turn diffuses the picture on the viewing screen.
Doctor Peas said that one of the most apparent contributions of the machine is that it has shown for the first time how disease-fighting organisms in the blood, known as antibodies, attack a disease-producing virus introduced into a living animal.
