Philosopher Blames Russian Aggression For World Unrest
Ethical justice demands that the United States subordinate her 11a-j tionalistic moral purpose to univer-1 salistic aims. That is the opinion of Dr. Daniel S. Robinson, director of the School of Philosophy and ! professor of philosophy.
Dr. Robinson speaks at 4:15 on “Ethical Implications of Atomic Energy’’ at this afternoon's philosophy i forum in Bowne hall,
! Outlining his lecture, the philosopher commented that the United States government “acknowledged ! the priority of mankind’s common good over national interests when • she offered the atomic development authority plan to the United Na-I tions." This plan was not accepted because of Russia’s opposition, he j said.

SPEAKER SUGGESTS
The speaker suggested that the way out of this predicament is to convince all the peoples of the earth that the United States does not intend to use atomic weapons to enforce her way of life upon them, but she is interested only In their economic recovery.
Dr. Robinson pointed out that the two moral purposes created by the discovery of atomic power — the utilization of atomic resources for national security and for universal welfare—are particularly incumbent upon the people of the United States.
“We have this responsibility because our scientists discovered how to change uranium into plutonium, and our government developed atomic energy for military purposes,” he said.
Election Registration Opens Next Monday
Registration for the approaching student body elections is slated to begin on campus Mondty under the system recently approved by the student senate.

SENATE PLANS

PI PHI Nick Nicholson appears to have been carried away by the persuasive sales tactics of this “No Love Atoll" ticket taker, who posed as Ngaya, the Micronesian “woman" in order to gain access to various sorority houses Friday night, causing furor but selling few tickets.
No Love' Gears for Stretch
Bovard auditorium was bustling with activity all day Saturday as the cast and directors of the varsity show swung into the home stretch in rehearsing, preparatory to the show’s premiere Thursday night.
As rehearsals continued, a story was flashed down from 28th street, telling of another foray on sorority houses by a figure in a King Kong suit, claiming to be “Ngaya, the -——---—--k Micronesian woman.” Whatever its

“Schweitzer never accepted an explanation of evil but felt that if everyone did a little to remedy sin in the world, it would soon disappear,” the speaker said.
The Rev. Greer described how Schweitzer was great in the breadth of his interests.
STUDIES MEDICINE “Already a concert organist, and an authority on architecture, he studied medicine at the age of 31 so he could be a missionary and better aid the suffering.
“Schweitzer wa* always saddened by misery and felt that whoever was spared personal pain himself, must feel called to help in the diminishing of pain in others,” the speaker continued.
He related how Schweitzer’s friends tried to dissuade him from becoming a missionary, fearing that his talents as a musician and an academician would be lost to the world if he left civilization.

Anderson Traces Middle East Woes
Contemporary international relations in the Middle East is the basis for Dr. Totten J. Anderson’s talk tomorrow in the art and lecture room of the University library at 3:15.
“For a great many years the problem of power politics in the Middle East has been present. However, since the frac-
tionalization of the Ottoman
following World
pire immediately War I, it has become critical,” asserted Dr. Anderson, associate professor of political science .
VACUUM CREATED The attainment of autonomy or semi-autonomy by many of the Middle Eastern states which had formerly been ruled by the sultan of Turkey created a power vacuum in this ,area, the Syrian-born professor said. .
“It has been the history of contemporary international relations that such a vacuum inevitably attracts the prosecution of vital interests by major world powers in such an area,” he said.
GEOLOGISTS ESTIMATE Important assets are there to be exploited, Dr. Anderson said. Geologists have estimated that Iran, and Iraq, and Kuwait, as well as Saudi Arabia, have the largest concentration of proved oil deposits in the world, not excepting those available in the United States, he said.
“Anglo-American sea-air power now occupies an extremely important strategic position in the Middle East.
The professor defined the Middle East as those countries which are members of the Arab league and those bordering the eastern Mediterranean, including Greece and Italy.

The accompanying photo illustrates the synthetic ape’s sales tactics, as practiced on sophomore Nick Nicholson, PiPhi.
As the show’s promotion department went about the business of convincing people they should buy tickets, the hardworking cast carried on in Bovard, wrestling with lines and music and otherwise knocking scenes into shape for opening night.
Among those on stage, giving out with histronics, were Jim Sargent, Marv Kaplan, Hal Lowe, Rory Guy, Jay Perrin, Bob Baker, and Neile Robinson.
Sargent, who recently starred in the SC production of “Years Ago,” appears in the varsity show as a hard-bitten but slightly zany naval captain, who has frequent misunderstandings with the enormous native chief, played by Perrin. The latter speaks a number of lines throughout the show, each consisting of one word, “ugh.”
