Lectures to Hit U.S. Foreign Policy
The effectiveness of the United States’ present foreign policy in defeating the spread of Russian communism will be discussed by Dr. A. J. Muste, internationally-known pacificist, and Dr. Ross Berkes, former State Department advisor and present head of the School of International Relations. They will speak in the art and lecture* room of the University library at 3:15 ■ today.
MUST RECOVER SANITY Dr. Muste. recently returned from j a world peace conference in India, believes that “we cannot restore the j Russians to sanity except by re- | covering our own. We can over- 1 come materialism only by rencunc- | ing it." He stressed that “only the I non-violent can apply therapy to the violent.”

witness to its effectiveness on a world scale. Obviously, an International of love and non-violence is needed,” he continued.
Dr. Muste's plan of applying Christian principles to political situations has brought him the title | of “number one pacifist” in United States. His ardent interest in world peace also extends to labor relations.
TRIED TO ADJUST
Dr. Berkes, referring to the task of establishing confidence between Russia and the Western powers, said, “We leaned over backward on many occasions. We tried to adjust our policy to theirs when we did not agree. They never did.”
A former member of the Allied Secretariat in Germany, Dr. Berkes negotiated with diplomats cf the Soviet Union, France, and Britain. Despite outward difficulties, he feels that Russian representatives are well-qualified, and that many of them have no sympathy for the policies dictated from the Kremlin.
Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman will act as moderator for the meeting, which is jointly sponsored by the Student Council of Religion and the International Relations club.

DR. MUSTE Renounces Materialism
Padgett, Zech Pledge Aid in DT Robbery
ASSC president Bob Padgett and Counselor of Men Dr. Albert Zech pledged their support to the prosecution of the persons that stole Wednesday's edition of the Daily Trojan.
Padgett said that as a member of the Associated Students, “I will personally prefer charges against the person or persons responsible for the theft of the Daily Trojans.”
Dr. Zech said he will follow the case through to the end.
The reward of $100 offered by the Unity party for information leading to the conviction of the persons responsible for the theft still stands. Padgett said. This does not necessarily mean that they must be convicted in a civil court.
“For the purpose of the reward offered by the Unity party, the establishment of guilt by the Faculty Committee on Student Activities, or the. Men’s Judicial council will constitute conviction,” he said.
Unity s Shaffer Rocks Row in Bid for Support
Jack Schaffer tossed a bombshell into a gathering of fraternity elite last night when he announced he would seek Row backing for ASSC President this spring.
Al Wiggins. TKE, and Doug Morgan, Delta Sig, also announced their candidacy before the Row group at the ZBT house.
The organization, made up of one member and an alternate from each fraternity, will choose next week the man it will back in the election.
Shaffer, a long-time Flow nemesis and Unitey boomer, said he would appeal to “The liberal element on the Row,” in his campaign.
Shaffer came under fire from several Row leaders who questioned his fraternity (Kappa Alpha Psi) standing and his Unity party affiliations. Shaffer said “Unity doesn’t represent the independent students,” but only those who voted Unity. He said he will run for president whether he gets the backing of the Row, Unity, or has to run independently.
Wiggins, present ruies chairman of the Senate, blasted at Unity tactics in his acceptance speech. He said Unity has done everything in its power to “undermine the Row” and that it is no longer a “unity” party, but an “anti-Row party.”

Thieves Victimize Printmakers Show
Theft of two prints from the SC printmakers show at 201 Harris hall closely rivalled the loss of yesterday's edition of the DT.
The show suddenly ran into trouble Wednesday. At that time, one of the litographic prints was missing. Yesterday the printmakers discovered that another was stolen.
This might be construed as a left-handed compliment to the SC printmakers,” said printmaker S. R. Williams. “If someone thinks our work is good enough to merit stealing. we must be pretty good.”

I was successful because of its time-j liness. The suffragette movement was popular then and Britons rel-! ished anything concerned with it. j The prologue and epilogue of "Fanny” also had special appeal for early-centurv Englanders.

For modem audiences, however, the play holds little interest, except for the rol-I licking third act.
