Expert Denies Death of Europe
In a pointed rebuttal to a summer session speech delivered three weeks ago, Dr. Joseph A. Lauwerys, professor of comparative education at the University of London, yesterday told a noon Hancock audience that Europe is not declining. Dr. Lauwery’s talk, “Europe: the Phoenix Burns,” was in direct contrast to a talk delivered at a previous assembly by Dr. Harold C. Deutsch, professor of History at the University of
Minnesota entitled, “The Eclipse of Europe.”
Dr. Lauwerys began by questioning the use of the word “eclipse”. He said that as he understood it an eclipse was when the moon covered the sun for a short period of time.
No Decline
He pointed out two reasons for the apparent decline of Europe and showed why it is not actually declining.
“Sweden and Switzerland, the only two European countries to escape the effects of war, are now enjoying prosperity that all Europe would be enjoying if it had not suffered so much with war,” he said as his first example.
“Secondly, the war created an astonishing loss of manpower.”
He went on to point out the England herself is advancing greatly. “True, she is advancing less fast than the United States, but she is making progress all the same.”
EDC Trouble
He touched on the recent European strife caused by the failure to get together an a satisfactory European Defense Community. He pointed out that France was fighting Germany only ten years ago, and that reconciliation must come slowly.
“How long did it take you to get your thirteen colonies together?” he asked.
“It seems that Europe lacks a suitable defense. England does not have a fleet to speak of, but the U.S. has the biggest fleet in the world. We are not going to fight the U.S. so what do we need of a fleet?” He went on ' to point out that England has military strength second only to Russia.
Lost Leadership
He admitted that Europe has lost her world leadership.
“But is it bad that England can no longer tell the Indians what to do? England and India have never been better friends than they are today,” he said.
He also pointed out that Europe was the home of the invention of radar, the development of penicillan, and the development of the modern jet engine. Thus he counteracted the idea the Europeans lack inventiveness.
Piano
Miss June Lusk, SC piano student, played two selections before the assembly commenced.
The assembly next week will feature Dr. William St. Clair Greever, associate professor of History, University of Idaho. He will speak on “The Role of Rail-ways in American Development.”
Baxter Undergoes Sudden Operation
Sunday's Program Will be Re-Run Of English, Scottish Ballads
After making his debut Sunday on a record-breaking coast-to-coast network of 95 CBS television stations, Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English, went to a Pasadena hospital for an emergency operation.
He was in surgery Monday and was reported recuperating well yesterday. Dr. Baxter will be in the hospital about ten days, however, so next Sunday’s “Now and Then” program on the network will be a film of^his reading of old English and Scottish ballads. This will be new to the nationwide audience, but will be a repeat of a program Dr. Baxter did locally a few weeks ago. It was widely acclaimed at that time.
The SC professor’s program was the first local public service show on TV ever to go on the national network, according to KNXT officials.
Show Seen
It was seen in New York, Atlanta, Birmingham, Boston, Buffalo, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Greensboro, Hutchinson-Wichita Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Kalamazoo, Kansas City, Louisville, Minneapolis, Nashville, Norfolk, Oklahoma City, Omaha, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Ore., Rochester, Salt Lake City, San

H.	W. Patmore, Registrar
914 Register In Post-Session; Increase of 200
Total tabulation of 914 new registrations for post-session exceeded all expectations, according to Registrar Howard Patmore.
Last year only 680 new students attended post-session, Patmore said. We expected about 800 this year.
It will take a couple of weeks to figure total student registration for post-session because it’s difficult to determine just how many carry-overs from the six-week session there will be. It should be about 3500.
All registrations for post-session ended yesterday at 4:30 p.m. No new classes may now be added.
Post-session classes will continue until August 27. Fall ses-ion will commence Sept. 20.
According to Patmore, several Southland colleges are not giving post-session courses, and these students are coming to SC to gain their credits. Thus the increase.
Registration for new students was held in the business office because of the small number of registrants. Ordinarily the process takes place in the P.E. building.
Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Tacoma-Seattle, and Washington, DC., on the basic CBS network.
On a supplementary interconnected network, the program was seen in Amarillo, Ames-Des Moines, Augusta, Austin, Cedar Rapids, Champaign, Charleston, Colorado Spnngs, Columbia, Col-(fumbus, El Paso, Erie, Fresno, Green Bay, Greenville Harrisburg, Holyoke, Jackson, Johnstown, Kearney, Knoxville, Lynchburg, Macon, Medford, Memphis, Meridian Milwaukee, Monroe, New Britain, New Orleans, Peoria, Portland, Me., Raleigh, Reading, Rockford, Sacramento, Salinas-Monterey, Santa Barbara, Savannah, Scranton, Sioux City, South Bend, Spokane, St. Joseph, St. Louis, Steubenville, Texarkana, Tucson, Yakima, and Youngstown.
Review Ballads
On a non-interconnected network “Now and Then” went into Anderson, Johrson City, Lubbock, Mason City, Montgomery, Muncie, Pine Bluff, Quincy, Reno, Saginaw and San Angelo.
Dr. Baxter next Sunday will review the era that formed the ballad and trace its influence on the lives and literature of all English-speaking nations.
The old ballads are “popular” in a double sense, he will point out. Not only are they favorites of the people, but they originated as folk expressions rather than products of the nobles and the courts. Essentially a story, the ballads tell of both sad and happy events, embroidering on the facts to create stirring, fanciful songs. Verses were added through the ages as the songs passed downward from father to son so that they became indicative of a whole community or area.
Music by Bach Scheduled for Chapel Rites
The Columbia Masterworks album of “Music by Bach,” featuring E. Power Biggs as organist, will be offered at chapel services slated for today and tomorrow in the Little Chapel of Silence.
Today’s service will include many of Bach’s famous chorale-preludes, including “Sleepers Awake.” Highlighting tomorrow's presentation will be “The Great” fugue in C Major.
The Rev. John Burkhart, pastor of Presbyterian students at SC, will lead today’s services with Clinton A. Neyman, University chaplain, conducting tomorrow’s services. A communion service will follow Thursday’s meeting.
Services for both days will start at 12:15 p.m.
