Van Alstyne brands international history, science of pessimism
“History should be called the I j science of pessimism,” Dr. Richard W. Van Alstyne, associate professor of history, stat-1 ed yesterday in the introduc- ! tion of his speech to the International Relations club.
Speaking of the possibility , of attaining a status of permanent international peace, Dr. Van Alstyne pointed out that the actual human record has been ! one of almost constant warfare, and that if all the wars since the time of Queen Elizabeth to date were tabulated, the years of conflict would substantially exceed the years of peace among the white races of the j world.
Even the history of the United j States, which prides itself on be-| ing a peaceful nation, is remarkable in that a major war has happened on an average of every 25 years. The eras of peace separating them have seemed to be nothing more than intermissions. ‘These facts,” Dr. Van Alstyne said, “are not being introduced to discourage any ideas we might have for accomplishing the maintenance of permanent, international peace, but to confront us with the problems involved in the realization of that ambition.
“There have been innumerable books written since the time of Christ on this idea, but the general public has very few ideas about it.”
Dr. Van Alstyne continued, developing the idea that we are not yet within a measurable distance of having conditions of permanent peace, and that we should be extremely careful in expressing' what we believe must be accomplished in attaining it.
“The present helter-skelter dispersal of our armed strength is a way to war,” he warned.
Dr. Van Alstyne concluded by expressing his belief that economic co-

720 in bonds.
“Trojan cooperation in buying and soliciting bonds really proves that the peacetime spirit is here,” said Ginny Brumfield, chairman of the drive. “We were a bit discouraged, to put it mildly, when only 60 cents in stamps were sold the first day of the drive.”
Topping the seventh war loan drive of last spring by almost doubling that total, the campaign was skyrocketed by receipts for more than $50,000, submitted vester by Gamma Phi Beta.
The drive, which started the week of Homecoming and ended last Friday, featured inter-fraternity, sorority and dormitory competition. As only one $25 bond was turned in by the dormitories, they will not be given a prize, Miss Brumfield stated.
Totals for the drive are Gamma Phi Beta, 851,850; Chi Omega, $10,720; Alpha Delta Pi, $6150;
Pi Beta Phi, $2500; Kappa Delta, $2275; Kappa Alpha Theta, $2050; Delta Delta Delta, $1450; Alpha Omicron Pi, $1225.

Fraternity bonds, totaling $12,-800, include Delta Sigma Phi, S9200; Alpha Rho Chi, $2000; Sigma Phi Delta, $1000; Sigma , Alpha Epsilon, $600.
“I'm overwhelmed,” sighed Miss Brumfield. “Even before the Gamma Phis turned in their unbelievable sum, the total neared the goal of the last drive, which was in progress during the height of the war.” Members of the bond committee were Donna Knox, coordinator; Bill Griffith and Bobby Jo Scott, publicity; Paul Riley, prizes; Ray Prochow, fraternities; Kay Mancusi, sororities, and Misses Lamb and Brumfield.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 11— CE)— The United States tonight reaffirmed a stem peace for Germany and promised her “an exceedingly hard Vinter” but foresaw German economy beginning a gradual recovery next spring and getting back on its feet about 1948.
The American position, adhering to the Potsdam declaration, was set forth in a 12-point state department policy document spelling out the U.S. concept of that declaration as it concerns German reparations and peacetime economy.
It was issued at the request of the war deparment which wanted clarification of economic policy toward Germany for the guidance of American occupation authorities. Copies were sent to Russia, Britain and France.
The document was accompanied by a statement from Secretary of State James F. Byrnes reaffirming the Potsdam promise that it is not the intention of the Allies to destroy or enslave the German people but to give them opportunity “to prepare for eventual reconstruction of their life on a democratic and peaceful basis.”
It pledged anew that Germany will be stripped of all war-making capacity, but a spokesman said this does not mean reducing her to a nation of peasants.
Within certain limitations prescribed by the Allies. Germany gradually will be permitted to produce light consumer goods to achieve an export-imiport balance and to bring German living standards up to the equivalent of the Eu-(Continued on Page 4)

“There was a time.” said Dr. Helsel. “when tinkering with what passed for religion seemed to answer the purpose in much the same manner as repairs made upon the old, horse-drawn vehicle. But a transition period has occurred. Men continue to travel, but a wholly different method of transportation is

of the front line of social change is t primary conditions and first princi- j lations are commonly held to corn-uneven. At one place it spearheads j ipies of religion. Dr. Helsel explain- j prise real religion,’’ said Dr. Helsel.
In summary Dr. Helsel stated that religion for the new day should be implemented with at least three tools. First, religion denotes an inner event, indescribable but actual. Second, that event occurs as an action, impulse, and pattern of behavior. Finally, the original event and impulse to action transpires within the framework of freedom.
Next Tuesday Prof. Matila Ghyka will address the pilosophv forum in the last speech in the current forum series on the general subject “The New Tasks of Peace.” His subject will be “World Politics and Peace."
‘Possibly no event has made
the world more conscious of change than that of the atomic bomb. Its advent seems to have spurred thought about the foundations of human existence into unusual prominence, while in religion, on the contrary, man clings to a religious fiction of nonreligious accumulations, unaware of the release of new and different religious energies that, likewise, threaten the foundations of human existence.”
