Sorokin, who is a Russian social j philosopher and professor of so- J ciologv at Harvard university, enumerates three basic types of culture — ideational, idealistic, and sensate, whose primary meanings are in terms of ideas, ideals, or sensory appeal.
Sorkin claims the world is now-living in a- sensate culture, rapidly destroying itself. He believes the present culture will probably be replaced by a new and vigorous ideational one.
Dr. Robinson will explain Oswald Spengler's theory of culture. Spengler’s doctrine that western European culture is declining, as is the culture of the United States, will be discussed also.

Is the world on the road to a lasting peace? If the majority opinion of the SC students recently polled on this question is an indication of future international conditions, the answer is no.
These Trojans, whose spur-of-the-moment theories on wprld peace and war appear below, were almost unanimous in their beliefs that another, and perhaps more chaotic, conflict lies ahead. Several singled out Russian policy as the greatest deterrent to peace.
Significantly, almost all students questioned said that at the close of World War II they had had sincere belief in the possibility of cooperation between nations. Disillusionment: caused by increasing friction between world powers, apparently has dissolved much of this faith.

NLRB Ruling Slaps Unions
WASHINGTON, Feb. IT — (UP> — The National Labor Relations board ruled tonight that labor unions havtf an obligation to bargain
in good faith with employers.
Its precedent-setting decision was handed down ln dismissing charges of unfair labor practices and refusal-to-bargain which had been filed against publishers of two St. Petersburg, Fla., newspapers by the International Typographical Union (A^L).
The decision, completely overruling a trial examiner's report, said that unions Wishing to force employer* to fulfill their “legal duty to bargain’’ under the Wagner act must also show a willingness to negotiate in good faith.
NO COMPULSION
Although the union is not legally required to bargain by the act. it said, its refusal “may remove the possibility of negotiation and thus preclude the existence of a situation in which thg employer’s own good faith can be tested.”
“If the employer’s good faith cannot be tested, then its absence can hardly be found.”
Officials said the union could appeal the decision to the federal circuit court of appeals at New Orleans it it desires.
ADD DECISION The board held that a union’s refusal to bargain did not relieve employers of their legal responsibility to negotiate, but added;
“The test of good faith ...» not a rigid but a fluctuating one.
It is dependent upon how a reasonable man might be expected to react to the bargaining attitude displayed by those across the table.”
The AFL union’s charges grew out of unsuccessful wage negotiations with News Printing Inc., publishers of the St. Petersburg Times and the Evening Independent newspapers. Some 60 union members walked off the job Nov. 20, 1945, but. the papers have continued publication with an offset printing process.
