Ada'Fph Zuker preno }SYLVIA SIDNEY FRED MA[MURRAY HENRY FONDA "T6TRAII01 HE * 0M0M PI0 Starts Monday SYLVA SDN E ity Theme Doctor Morse PROFESSOR TALKS 4 AT SERVICES )eclares That Tragedy Of Our Civilization Comes From Boast ing By Races "One of the tragedies of our p:"seut :ivilization", according to Dr. Mor., at he Vesper services Sunday night, - is the ,olly of whole races bragging and boast ng like little cl+ildren of their racial su >eriority". Doctor Morse submitted three propo ;itions: The first i? that there is no such hing as a pure race.- Hitler screams to he high Heaven about the Nortic purity >f the Germans while he himself is evi lence of the fact that there is no such :hing, as is shown by his black hair and t warthy skin. Through long generations, nigrations of tribes, wars and peaceful penetrations for commercial purposes have brought about conditions where at he present time all people are an inter- t mingling of numerous racial strains. Doctor Morse's second proposition was: that no race or people have a mo nopoly of ability or vice. Every race and ation have men of talent and morons, genii and idiots. Each race, yellow, white and black have men of honesty, character and decency and run the whole range of intellectual and spiritual race. In spite of this fact, through;;ut human iistory, we find whole nations shamelessly bragging about themselves. sayilig that they themselves are God's chosen people while all other races are barbarians, cat tle, and riff raff. This is the universal attitude. The Greeks thought 'all others were barbarians and even made it unlaw ful to marry with other Grecian tribes; the Jews were a people who walked and talked with God more than any other people. Yet in their conceit, they called all other people Gentiles. Their racial aloofness was so intense that they would not even break bread with members of another race. This racial habit is the characteristic of a childish mind which covers up its own inferiority by boastfulness. We laugh at this in children, but it is intol erable in adults. How much more so in races. The tragedy of the situation is that this folly leads nations to destroy themselves and their civilization. Nations ought to be helping, instead of dispising each other. The solution of the problem, according to Doctor Morse is for men and nations to adopt the Christian attitude toward each other, the attitude of brotherhood. Jesus taught the brotherhood of men not a figurative thing but literally. He meant exactly what he said. The human race should realize that they are in the same situation as the human hand. Each finger is different and has a different function but all belong to the hand and have to cooperate in order to grasp any object. The human race should cooperate to bring about the kingdom of God on earth.

Students Show Little Concern Over Social Problems Campus Radicalism Laughed At By Dean Of Midland College Chicago (ACP)-Frequent charges of campus radicalism made throughout the country are strikingly belied by the av erage college student's titter unconcern about social and economic matters, ac cording to Dean William F. Zimmcrman of Midland College, Fremont, Nebraska. "The students of today are incapable of entertaining radical ideas because of their utter disinterest in the problems which Communists and Socialists do all the shouting about," Dean Zimmerman told a group of educators here recently, adding that it was his opinion college students cannot even understand these problems. Dean Zimmerman gathered data on "spontaneous student conversations from many campuses derived not by question naire, but by listening in when young per sons were unaware of being studied." The college girl's first interest, as in ferred from the frequency with which she chats about it, is in the doings of her col lege friends, while the male student gives first place to his studies. Public affairs attracted only seven-tenths of one per cent of the concern of men and two-tenths of one per cent of the girls' remarks, ac cording to conclusions drawn by Dean Zimmerman's survey. -U. A. . "Browvnie" can bark the answer to any problem, whether it calls for addition or subtract ion, multiplication or division, so long as it's between one and nine. This, if asked the result of 35 dlividled by 5, she wvill bark seven times. Skeptics may write their problems on a blackboard as well as offer it orally, say the Jordan sisters. And that isn't all. "Brownie"' can bal ance a ball on the end of her nose for iv'e minutes or longer. t t t 4. ?Iany Apply For Degrees dore Than Last Yea 'wo Hundred Thirty-Three Stu dents File Applications With Registrar Two hundred thirty-three seniors ani raduate students have filed application r degrees from the University of Souti :arolina, John A.
