Power Politics In Middle East' LAS Talk Topic
Dr. T. J. Anderson To Present Views For Lecture Series
An analysis of power politics in the Middle East will occupy top place in the Wednesday LAS lecture series when Dr. Totten J. Anderson presents his views at 3:15 p.m. in the art and lecture room of the University library.
Dr. Anderson, associate professor 1 of political science, injects personal ■ knowledge in his discussion of problems of the Middle East, having ! been born in Beirut, Syria, and having spent his early years in the 1 Middle East.
He defines the Middle East as j those countries which are members j of the Arab league and those bordering the eastern Mediterrean, including Greece and Italy.
CITES UNSTABLE ELEMENTS
“There are elements of instability within the Middle East which are susceptible to exploitation,’" Dr. Anderson notes. Two of these elements are economic and strategic. The former involves oil and the latter military and naval bases.
“Apparently the allied countries, United States and Great Britain specifically, have chosen this area as a testing ground for their foreign policy.” Dr. Anderson said.
Within the Middle East there are clashes of Russian and western interests, he pointed out. and within the countries themselves, instability in religious, political, and economic fields. In the religious field a situ-

Countries of the Middle East need outside capital with which to build their industries, but the question is “from whom shall we accept it?” Allied policy. Dr. Anderson said, is to neutralize the Dardanelles, while Russia has consistently pressured Turkey to cede land in northern Turkey, and to allow Russia to share joint control over the straits.

Tlie program, presented by AWS, included a variety of musical skits presented by 12 women's campus organizations.
“Jini From Trinidad,” a vocal dance number presented by Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, was cited as the most beautiful skit. Dr. Russell Caldwell, one of the judges, said that the musical number did not depend on any scenery other than the costumes of the singers and dancers, and the beauty of motion and action by all the dancers was prevalant*	.
DRUMS BEAT The song “Jini From Trinidad.'’ was written by Marie Flelioury,
“Angels of Mercy” was cited as the most dramatic of the numbers presented. As the house lights dim-ned, three tableaux posed by Red Cross members, became visible on the stage. On the left side, a Red Cross worker was shown feeding a hungry Chinese girl; in the center another worker was reading to a cripple; and on the right of the stage, a Red Cross member was depicted helping a survivor out of a fire.

Methodist Pastor’s Lecture to Trace Schweitzer’s Views
Albert Schweitzer's life will be described and analyzed today at 3:15 in Bowne hall by the Rev. Owen M. Geer, pastor of Vermont Square Methodist church, when the panorama of religions presents its seventh lecture of the current series.
The speaker will trace how
Schweitzer's teachings are influencing more men today than ever before.
“It is safe to predict that the passing of generations will give him a permanent place among the outstanding men of all time,” the Rev. Mr. Geer said in previewing his talk.
•■Schweitzer is great in his capacity for human sympathy. This quality is lacking in many people today, in our recrudescence of human savagery and sadism.
GREATNESS SHOW*
“His sense of obligation to help others is another sign of his greatness,” the theologian said. “Reverence for life became a deep conviction with him. until he would not tolerate seeing anything killed or destroyed, unless its death was essential.
“Schweitzer sensed, even as a young man, a kind of ‘pernicious anemia’ which was sapping the life of western civilization. He did not agree with the optimistic view of human progress but felt that already our past heritage was beginning to melt away in our hands," the Rev. Mr. Geer added.
WE’VE SCARCELY BEGUN
“We have scarcely begun to assess the contribution which this man Schweitzer has been making to mankind.” he concluded.
The speaker has written three books. They are “Christs Pathway to Power.” “Adventures in Recreation.” and The Training of the Devotional Life.” He is the national associate director of youth work for the Methodist church and has had pastorates in New Jersey, Michigan, and California.
Theme of this semesters panorama of religions lecture series is ‘Religions of the Great Leaders of the World”
