While at the University of Ken-' tucky. she was a member of Theta ! Sigma Phi. women's journalism fraternity, Mortar Board. El Ateneo Castillano, honorary Spanish, and Alma Magna Mater.
Johnson tells problems of hemisphere unity to I.R. club gathering
There are two fundamental problems confronting all the American nations today in their quest for hemispheric harmony. Each nation must ask itself if its interest in its neighbors is to end at their boundaries, or if it is to act with a group in influencing their internal affairs.
Upon the solution of these problems, which must come as a happy medium between the two extremes of political philosophy that they represent, hinges the solidarity of the American republics, according to Donald D. Johnson, lecturer in history and international relations, who addressed the International Relations club yesterday afternoon.
“If we extend political recognition to any and all the forms of government that might appear within the various countries,” Mr. Johnson stated, “we might actually be fostering a dictatorial government which would be very undesirable to us.”
On the other hand, he explained, if we employed the severance of diplomatic relations or the imposition of economic sanctions against a government which we disapproved, we would i robably find the people of that government even more united against us.
The solution, or “happy medium,” Mr. Johnson explained, is for the American republics to unite, politically and economically. In this manner distrust would be avoided, and no one nation could hope to stand alone.
Unity among the American countries presents a rather difficult problem itself. These republics represent cultures that are vastly different.	\
“Even within the United States, a country provided with the world’s best systems of transportation and communication, people from different sections of the country are unable to understand each other. This condition exists despite the fact that we have a common language.”
“Understanding between the La-tin-American countries and the United States is all the more complicated for the lack of these facilities which promote understanding.”
Mr. Johnson stated that understanding will have to come about by education, and the task of teaching American countries about each other is one that will necessitate a missionary zeal to achieve its ultimate accomplishment.
“In my view,” Mr. Johnson said, “the American nations have already created the machinery to do this by their creation of the Pan American union. With cooperation and the application of will, the task can be completed.”

Don’t be disconsolate because you failed to buy the January issue of the Wampus, SC’s humor magazine, and because your best friend wouldn’t lend you his because he was busy reading it himself.
You, too, can have your own issue of the local laugh sheet because they are still being sold at the candy and cigarette counter of the Student Union, announced Ralph Peters, business manager of the Wampus.

President solves Greek dilemma
The critical question of housemothers for fraternities resident on campus was solved Monday when President R. B. von KleinSmid suspended indefinitely the March deadline that had previously been set for the fraternities to obtain housemothers.
President Von KleinSmid decided that because of the present financial difficulties and housing problems being suffered by all fraternities, it would place undue hardships on the fraternities to enforce the deadline.
The fraternity presidents committee composed of Joe Holt, Buzz Forward. Reed Sprinkle, Gene Mix, and Ray Prochnow in a meeting Monday night, expressed their thanks for the President's consideration of

“Social work education is recognizing that it must assume increased responsibility for preparing persons for international welfare,” stated Norris E. Class, associate professor in the Graduate School of Social Work.
Professor Class was recently reelected to the board of trustees at the annual meeting of the American Association of Schools of Social Work, Pittsburgh. He stated that the conference knew the need for schools to adjust their courses to allow acceptance of students irom
all over the world. “The associated office has received dozens of letters weekly for acceptance,” he said.
“The need for people for international welfare is not limited to the semi-public. Such agencies as the International Red Cross and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Admin i s t r a t i o n need hundreds to fill positions.” “As a result of the activities of the United Nations Organization, the demand will be ever greater. The state department has two social work experts as consultants will respect to problems of international welfare organization.”
Social work needs to concern itself with new areas of public activity which are not strictly regarded as welfare but have a welfare aspect, such as public housing. A large variety of skills is needed for public housing. Social work may not be a major one, but the task of preparing the people still exists.
"Social work education is further concerned with administrative process,w Professor Class continued. “In defining administrative process, we *an say that it is translating law- into benefits for a given person or group of persons. We must realize that it Is important to have qualified persons to carry out provisions of legislation.”
“The fact remains, however, that unless laws are put into good organizational patterns, and sound organization takes place, the people w'ill not benefit by legislative or

Ickes charges Pauley made rawest deal'
Investigating group hears of proposition made by oil interests
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5 — (UJJ) — Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes testified today that Edwin W. Pauley, former treasurer of the Democratic National committee, offered the "rawest proposition ever made to me" by promising that oil interests would contribute $300,000 to the party coffers if a federal suit for oil-rich tidelands was dropped.
Ickes made the charge in his second appearance before the Senate Naval Affairs committee which is considering Mr. Truman’s nomination of Pauley to be undersecretary of the navy. Ickes testified last week that Pauley tried to persuade him to drop the suit.
Reading from a memorandum which he said he made when Paulev allegedly offered the "proposition,” Ickes asserted that Pauley made the offer at a Sept. 6, 1944, meeting. He quoted Pauley as saying that he had talked with the late President Roosevelt about the deal.
“I said that the issue had been decided long ago.” Ickes testified. “I told him it would make a pretty scandal involving the President and me if we decided not to file the suit.”
Then he called the Pauley offer “the rawest proposition ever made to me.”
Ickes said that Democratic National Chairman Robert E. Hanne-gan had called on him to discuss politics and that Paul Porter, now chairman of the Federal Communi; cations commission, and Pauley also dropped in.
After Pauley made the proposition, Ickes said, he replied;
“I don’t intend to smear my name in oil.”
the navy, half of it overseas with the amphibious forces.
A former infantryman. Bob Osborne. and an ex-Wave, Ethel Jacobs, landed the two vice-presidencies. The Waves more than held their own during the balloting, winning three offices. In ad-Dorothv Salk as secretary, and dition to Miss Jacobs, they placed Pearl Blum on the executive committee.
Thurman Smallwood, who sweated out his part of the war in a PT boat, was re-elected as treasurer. Smallwood is currently attending SC on the rehabilitation pogram, having been medically discharged from the navy because of injuries sustained while attached to the PTs. Two members of the D.T. staff were elected corresponding secretary and publicity chairman—Jesse Unruh to the former and John McGowan to the latter.
Most prominent member of the newly-elected executive committee is Milton Buck, incumbent president of Trovets who had refused to become a candidate for re-election. The other members of the committee in addition to Miss Blum are Tom Barnett, infantry; Marvio Niles, infantry; and Ed Malin. Vernon Reinecke was selected as the alternate member.
The new president participated in four major invasions, the Marshalls, Saipan, Tinian, and Leyte. He refuses to say just how many Higgins boats were glown from under him by saying that peopl« wouldn't believe it. It is der?5-itelv known, however, that two boats parted company with him during the Leyte invasion.
The cumulative effect of this caused Gibson to spend the next 11 months in some five hospitals recovering from blast concussion. He was discharged shortly before this semester began with 50 per cent disability.
His election came as somewhat of a surprise to the personable freshman. Previous to this he has held no office in Trovets, but has served on several committees, including housing committee, and devoted a great deal of his time to the organization.
