For Discussion Meet You're Needed
“Quest for Peace” will be the theme at the 28th annual Institute -f World Affairs at the Mission nn in Riverside, Dec. 9-12, by SC and other colleges and universities ef the Pacific area, it was announced today.
The theme was chosen by Dr. Graham H. Stuart, professor of political science at Stanford university, who was appointed director of this year’s institute by Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, chancellor of the institute and of SC. Dr. Stuart has been a member of the institute’s executive committee several years.
The part religion, education and science can play in achieving peace through understanding will be discussed at the opening sessions Sunday evening, Dec. 9. Peace through preparedness, an analysis of military and strategic factors, will be discussed Monday. Peace through organization—the United Nations, the North Atlantic pact and the organization of Inter-American States—will be considered Tuesday. Peace through development, the social and economic changes that can help realize freedom from war, will conclude the institute discussions Wednesday.
Plans for the world affairs meeting are being made by Paul E. Hadley, assistant professor of international relations at SC, who is starting his first year as executive secretary of the institute.
Director Stuart recently returned from a nine months tour
of American embassies, legations and consulates in Europe. Purpose of his trip was to obtain material for a revised edition of his book, “American Diplomatic and Oonsular Practice.” While abroad, he lectured at the Institute of Advanced International Relations in Geneva and the Harvard seminar in Salzburg.
A leading authority on the science of government, Mr. Stuart has been on the Stanford faculty since 1923.
He has had a long record of State Department .service. In 1946, he was sent to Tangier, Morocco, to advise the American minister in drafting a new statute for the international city. He is the author of "The International City of Tangier,” only authoritative book on the zone.	/
His book, “The Department of State,” incorporates material he gathered on departmental organization and operation while serving as head of the Historical Records unit during World War n.
Dr. Stuart was a member of goodwill tours to Latin America in 1941 and to Europe in 1926, both sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
After completing his undergraduate work at Western Reserve university in 1908, Dr. Stuart studied in Paris. He returned to finish his graduate work at the Cniversity of Wisconsin, receiving his A.M. degree in 1918 and his Ph.D. in 1919.
Authority To Tell All About Ancient Chinese Bronze Art
The lowdown on ancient China’s outstanding art form will be given in a lecture, “Understanding Chinese Ritual Bronzes,” by J. LeRoy Davidson, assistant professor in the history of art, Yale, next Monday afternoon in 101 Harris hall at 3:15.

He will use lantern slides to spread light on his subject. These
Trojans Attend Lion Air Meet
SC will join 13 other western colleges in sending delegates to the annual convention of the Arnold society, Loyola university’s Air Force ROTC cadet organization, today.
Ernest Sanchez, area commander of the Arnold society, will kick off the three-day affair when he puts out the welcome sign for the visi- j tors.
The confab’s agenda boasts an address by Lt. Gen. Ira C. Eaker, USAF, retired, now vice-president of the Hughes Aircraft company, and a friend of the late Gen. Hap Arnold, for whom the society was named.
The society also hopes to line up Secretary of Air Thomas Pm-letter or Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg, Chief of Staff, USAF, for rostrum duties.
Besides the Trojan delegates, representatives will at/tend from UCLA. Arizona university, Arizona State, Fresno State, San Jose State, Stanford, Utah university, Utah State, Idaho university, Washington university, Washington State, Oregon university, and the University of Hawaii.
pictures will analyze the ritual bronzes of long ago as a great art type. These ancient pieces of craftsmanship express not only the art culture of that period, but are also claimed to be parallel with contemporary art forms of today.
Made as early as 1400 B.C., and continuing as a going concern until the third century B.C., they were the major art treasures of their time and are now considered a great art form unique to China.
Bacteria Live In Ocean Mud 6 Miles Down
Tiny organisms able to withstand terrific pressures have been discovered to live six and a half miles under the ocean’s surface by Scripps Institute scientists recently.
The water pressure where the bactertia make their home is more than 15,000 pounds per square
inch.
Dr. Claude E. ZoBell, professor of marine microbiology at the University of California’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, is presently aboard the Danish scientific vessel Galathea in the mid-Pacific. A letter to his colleagues reveals the discovery of living bacteria in the deep-sea sediments taken recently from 10,-380 meters (about 35.000 feet) in the Philippine trough, one of the deepest parts of the ocean.
Although it has been suspected that there are living things in the great deeps, the presence of bacteria in the recent cores is one of the first direct bits of confirming evidence.
Car owners who will be heading back east at the end of post-scssion and want company are urged to look up Mrs. Y'iegs in the sfhdent lounge on the third floor of the Student Union.
The postsession car pool, set up to ease thc getting-home problems of visiting students, has found that there are plenty of riders, but not enough buggy owners to take them where they want to go.
Especially sought are haulers heading for Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and New York.
Views On Creed Told
Dr. Theodore M. Greene, Yale philosophy professor, believes that in the present crisis, internal weakness rather than an outward attack might result in a Communistic victory.
In two lectures Tuesday and Wednesday, he gave a Founders hall audience his views on how the American people might prevent any such internal weakness through a sound basic creed and proper functioning of our basic institutions.
While our armament program seeks to meet the tnreat of Russian communism on the wholly physical level, Dr. Greene feels that we need a strong American creed to combat the Russian ideology. Tuesday’s lecture and part of the Wednesday lecture were devoted to outlining such a creed.
Dr. Greene presented three main controversial questions on which the nation is now divided but upon which he thinks a national creed could be worked out, namely:
(1)—What	is man?
(2)—What	kind of a universe are we living in?
(3)—What	kind of a society should we try to foster and produce?
First Dr. Greene summarized several widely varying views which are held in America today on each of these questions and then he proceeded into his suggestions foi* a common creedal base.
“Man’s proper destiny is not to be enslaved but to be fundamentally free,” Dr. Greene said during his discussion of the creed’s proposed society which, he said “should not be composed of either regimentation or complete individualism but a mature, democratic, free society. To obtain these ends, Dr. Greene urged both honest, constructive self-criticism and tolerance in this country.
In the second section of his lectures, entitled “Our Basic Institutions,” Dr. Greene cited five institutions and told of the part he feels they should play in the life of this country.
The State and the Family were the first two institutions on which Dr. Greene dwelled, calling them “the polar opposite bulwarks of our society.” “The school, for preserving, increasing, and disseminating knowledge, and the Church, for the search after and worship of God,” were cited as “the two great dynamos of our society.” The fifth institution, business, Dr. Greene said, should be the enthusiastic servant of society—an essential servant, but still a servant and not the master.
Dr. Greene emphasized that the American people must find the right meaning in each of these institutions between the disastrous (Continued on Page 4) j
DR. LAWRENCE LOCKLEY . . . spread out!
Stores Should Disperse
Department stores can make retailing more efficient and profitable by opening branches in outlying residential areas of large cities and changing the character of their downtown headquarters, the incoming dean of the SC School of Commerce said this week.
Lawnmowers for suburbanites and aquariums and window gardens for downtown hotel and apartment house dwellers should be stocked separately, said Dr. Lawrence C. Lockley, who will become SC’s newest dean Sept. 1. He will succeed Dean Reid L. McClung, who will retire Aug. 31, after heading the SC School of Commerce 24 years.
Stores which have tried to be “all things to all people” have found they can do a better job at lower cost and higher profits by placing branches in each major shopping area and stocking them with commodities which meet the needs of each area, he said.
Decentralization and the building of more stores calls for more managerial personnel, and that’s where schools of commerce come into the picture, the new SC dean pointed out.
Beyond training a person for his first job in business, colleges should also prepare them for promotion after they are employed, Dean Lockley believes.
“Business training is no substitute for experience and never can be,” he said, “but it makes a person more susceptible to it."
Present high inventories held by retail stores will be sold off fairly rapidly this fall and winter. Dean Lockley believes.
“Production figures don’t indicate that we have a larger inventory of goods than can be | sold,” he said.
Dean Lockley comes to SC from four years at New York university where he has been professor of marketing in the Graduate School of Business Administration, professor of retailing and director of research.
A native of Salem, Ore., Dean Lockley is an honor graduate of the University of California. He taught English at UCLA from 1921 to 1927, so he is no newcomer to Los Angeles. He is also a graduate of Harvard university, and taught at Temple university, Philadelphia, five years.
