Donovan Invites Faculty

To View Gift TV Set

Describing the gift as “a symbol
of your appreciation of what has
happened at the University and not
of my activities."
L. Donovan on July 12 accepted a
television set from the Lexington
Chamber of Commerce.

“When you give me this television
set I feel you are giving .itfto the
faculty and they can come over
and see what's going on whenever
they wish." the man who has been
directing UK‘s destinies since July
1. 1941 declared.

Referring specifically to the facul-
ty. staff and board of trustees, Dr.
Donovan said. “I think we've had
a great team while I've been here.
The board has supported me gen-
erously, giving advice and copera-

Latvian Art School, Nazi DP Camp
Prefaccd Sternbcrgs Work At UK

By Bill Boughey

From Latvian art academy to
Nazi DP camp to UK—fhai has
been the course followed the past
decade by Prof. Janis Sternbergs of
the Department of Art.

The former Latvian artist. who
has been on the staff here for two
years. was teaching in the art school
he established in the camp when UK
President Dr. H. L Donovan ran
across him while on a tour of
Europe in 1948. The UK president
was impressed with Sternbergs and
said he would like to hive him teach
at UK.

Stembergs brought along his wife.
mm. and their son. Edward. Mrs.
Sternbergs taught painting in the
Art Department and their son be-
came a student in the University.
Edward is now a sophomore in the
College of Engineering.

Propaganda, Ideologies Are Subject
Of Talks To Institute By Shannon

Although his trip to Washington

testify before a Congressional
committee delayed the Institute of
Politics schedule by 48 hours. Dr.
J B. Shannon of the Department
of Political Science made up for
lost time last Friday morning by
diliyeriiig two lectures to the In-
stitute in Guignol Theatre. His
topzis were "What is Propaganda?“
.:li(l “The War on Ideologies.“

Dr Shannon in the 8 am. lecture
~.id there is a subtle assumption
that propaganda is something evil.
This. he said. dates back to our ex-
};t‘l‘lt‘lit't with propaganda during
\‘i'oild War I.

"This was because after the war
we learned that so many of the al-

“Hitler's propaganda campaigns
against his enemies would not have
been effective without the Panzer
divisions to back them up." the UK
political scientist expounded. “Psy—
chological warfare. which we hear
so much about nowadays. will not
win by itself."

DR. SHANNON WENT ON TO
SAY that there is nothing inherent-
ly bad in propaganda.

"It is not propaganda." he pro-
pounded. "but the monopoly of
propaganda which is dangerous.
Our theory is to let all propaganda
flow freely. following which we will
choose between the good and the
bad."

“As far as my part is concerned
I‘m a propagandist," Dr. Shannon
concluded. "I've been propagandiz-
ing you this morning and I don‘t
believe that I'm a bad fellow for so
doing.“

Speaking again at 10 am. Dr.
Shannon stated that the very es-
sence of democracy is the belief that
in his mind and spirit man is free
from authority. He said that this
conclusion led to the downfall of
the Middle Ages system.

DR. SHANNON EXPLAINED that
in America the doctrine of tolerance
came to the fore mainly because
there were so many religions and
creeds existing that no particular
one could ever have been agreed
upon.

varcssinn. his belief in the sound-
ness of the (lciiiocratic system. Dr.

Shannon declared that public affairs
concern everyone. and everyone
knows that they concern him.

“Thus. the truth can be arrived at
only by consulting the people. who
are the best judges.“ Dr. Shannon
said.

Pointing out that in a totalitarian
state the leaders make all the de—
cisions for the people. Dr. Shannon
stated that “the cook is not the
best judge of his preparations."

“TODAY THE CLASH OF IDEO-
LOGIES is putting this theory to
the acid test." he declared. “The
totalitarians believe that the state
has the final truth. We democrats
operate on the theory that we are
still searching for truth. and there-
fore everyone should be consulted.“

Dr. Shannon pointed out that our
freedom of expression actually helps
us to combat false ideologies.

“For instance." he stated. "how
can we successfully combat Com-
munist propaganda if we don‘t per—
mit it to be heard. and therefori
learn of its strengths and weak-
nesses."

The democratic ideology of free-
dom of expression. however. Dr.
Shannon added. finds itself on the
defensive in the war of ideologies.

“Since the democratic system of-

fers no final answers. there is al—;

ways a temptation to accept those
ideologies which pretend

Friedman Speaks
About Formulation
01’ Foreign Policy

In an 8 am. address yesterday the
UK. Institute of Politics heard a
lescription of foreign policy formu-
‘ation by Richard Friedman of the
State Department’s division of pub-
lic liaison.

A successful foreign policy can be
formulated. Friedman said. only
through a two—way flow of informa-
‘ion between Washington and the
people. The State Department is
constantly engaged in making pub-
lic opinion analyses in an effort to
determine what the people want and
the extent to which they are sup-
porting policies already formulated.
he said.

A basic reason why State Depart-
ment policy sometimes appears to
"ramble." Friedman reminded. is
that it tries to follow the “rambling"
desires of the American people.

In a question-and—answer period
following his talk. Friedman said he
knew of no recent change in U. S.
policy toward the Chinese National-
ists nor in the State Department's
views on admission of Red China
to the United Nations.

He said that the so-called change
in U. S. policy toward the Chinese
Nationalists was actually only a
shift in emphasis. When asked if
the U. S. would block Communist
China‘s entry into the United Na-
tions. Friedman said that the State
Department was not in favor of
seating the Communist government.
but that he did not think it was
possible for one nation alone to veto
such a move.

“Often it's just a matter of wet-
ting your finger and holding it up to
see which way the wind is blowing."
was his jesting answer when he as
questioned as to how the State De-
partment was able to determine
public opinion on important issues.
He went on to say. however. that
the department made use of every
possible means of determining “how
the public stood" on major questions.
Editorials. polls. and letters to offi-
cials are all studied by the State
Department. he said. in an effort
to find out what the public wants.

The only remaining speaker in the
Institute of Politics program is for-
mer Kentucky Senator John Sher—
man Cooper. who is scheduled to
give the closing address on July 27.
. The Institute of Politics was spon-
l sored by the Department of Political
.Science and was made possible by
'1 a donation from the Lexington Her-
}ald-Leader. It has been held in
iconjunction with the summer pro-
..gram. Perspectives On Contempor.

Says Settlement
Should Be Made
At Korean ‘Neck’

“I do not believe that we should
accept the 38th parallel as the basis
of an armistice in Korea if at all
possible we can do better." Sen.
Paul H. Douglas. Democrat of
Illinois. declared in the second
Blazer Lecture of the summer ses-
sion Friday night in Memorial Hall.

These were the same views ex-
pressed earlier iii the week by the
senator in a highly—publicized let-
ter to Secretary of Defense Marshall.

"In the first place." Sen. Douglas
expounded, “such an agreement
would give the Communists ample
depth to organize their forces north
of the parallel."

Calling the idea of UN inspection
of armaments in North Korea a
"fancy." the senator warned that if
the Communists renewed their ag-
gression after an armistice it might
be difficult to again rally the UN to
resistance.

SEN. DOI'GLAS SAID THAT :1
second reason for not accepting a
peace along the parallel is that it
is militarily impractical to defend,

The third and most important
reason for rejecting such an arm-
istice. however. according to Sen.
Douglas. is that such a decision
would be turned into a great propa-
ganda device by the Communists.

"The Chinese Reds would say that
they had entered the war when we
were 100 miles north of the parallel
and had driven us back to that
line." Sen. Douglas declared.

"I do not say that an armistice i.t
the 38m parallel Would be a sur-
render." the Illinois Democrat
stated. “but it would be interpreted

as such in many parts of the
world."

Hillings Says Minority
Has Duty To Oppose

“The minority party must offer a
vigorous opposition to the dangers
and weaknesses existing in the
program advanced by the political
party in power." Rep. Patrick Hill-
ings of California declared at the
UK Institute of Politics July 12 in
the Student Union Building.

Expoundlng the belief that our
constitutional system of government
will disappear unless an active
minority party. aware of its respon-
sibilities is maintained. the Con-
gressman said. "It is the minority's
duty and responsibility to advance
an alternate program to meet the
problems confronting the country
in fields where criticism of the
majority is warranted. This is nec-
essary in order to give the people
an alternate to follow as the weak-
ness and failing of the majority
program become evident."

STATING THAT THE MINOR-
ITY in Congress has been “more
right" in recent years regarding its
stand on communism than the
majority party. Rep. Hillings main-
tained, “The minority must advance

the idea that our only chance for
world peace is to convince the Rus-
sians that if they provoke further
Communist aggression it will bring
on World War III."

“Too often the State Department
is guided by fear of what our allies
or Russia will think or do." the
California Republican added.

Rep. Hillings also propounded that
there is a great need for effective
opposition within the executive and
judicial branches of the government
as well as the legislative branch.

“LOYAL OPPOSITION IN THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH is vital to-
day where the political spoils sys-
and corruption have been appalling."
the freshman Congressman said.

He added it is a “great tragedy"
that there is practically no repre-
sentation of the minority in the
judicial branch of the United States
government.

Rep. Hillings declared that the
Republicans have a real challenge
to provide inspirational leadership
at a time when the presidential
popularity is at a low ebb.

Kraehe Outlines Rules
To View Foreign Affairs

Speaking before the Institute of
Politics July 12 in Guignol Theatre.
Dr. Enno E. Kraehe of the History
Department declared that the Amer-
ican public today needs some point-
ers in the art of viewing foreign
affairs.

“If we‘re going to intelligently
participate in the Great Debate it
is essential that we are acquainted
with the rules governing it." Dr.
Kraehe said.

The first of seven rules outlined
by Dr. Kraehe for viewing foreign
affairs was to beware of "catch
phrases."
battle. Dr. Kraehe continued.
tag upon an opponent is very great.

“We cannot accurately judge a

man‘s arguments if we are to be
psychologically swayed by such
names as ‘isolationist' and ‘ap-
peaser'." Dr. Kraehe said.

Rl'LE OF THl’MB NO. ‘3. accord-
ing to the UK historian. is to dis-
tinguish between the ends of for-
eign policy and the means to those
ends.

"Basically. all Americans agree
that the supreme end of our foreign
policy is the security of the United
States" Dr. Kraehe expounded. "But
it is about the means to these ends
that we disagree."

In conjunction with this prin—
ciplc. Dr. Kraehe pointed out that
our means are often times limited
by our resources.

"It may be well to tell our children
to shoot for the stars. but in for-
eign affairs we had first better
('llt‘Cl'i with the techiiiCians as in
the range of our artilliery." Dr.
Kraehe stated.

THE THIRD PRINCIPLE Ol'T-
LINED by Dr. Kl'at'llf‘ was that in
Viewing foreign affairs the whole
picture must be considered.

"For instance." Dr. Ki‘aehe ex—
plained." Ihosv who (‘i’llltlt'illll our
entrance into the Korean war. :1

In the heat of emotional
the
temptation to pin an unfavorable

irect challenge to the UN. ignore
the possibility that failure to re-
sist aggression there might have
led to the collapse of the UN and
the North Atlantic Treaty."

Dr. Kraehe‘s fourth point was
that it is necessary for us to see
problems in the light of the other
fellow‘s point of view.

"We become irriated at French
and German bickering. but we for—
get that France has been invaded
three times within the memory of
livnig Frenchmen." Dr. Kraehe said.

“We may regarded such fears as
foolish. but if we Wish to have allies
we must sympathize With their
quirks.“

Rule No. 5 forwarded by Dr.
Kraehe was that we must dis-
tinguish between the interest and

the ideologies of states

“IN A CHESS GAME WE DO
NOT LOOK at one pawn and say
that it is a fascist pawn. and there-
fore we'll have nothing to do Wlill
it." Dr. Kraehe said. "Lofty ideals
are legitimate. but they must be
evaluated in the light of our end
of United States security.“

That we must not expect per-
fection in foreign affairs was Dr.
Kraehe‘s sixth point

"A good many students make B's.
and that isn't perfect." Dr Kraehe
ponited out. "Yet in foreign affairs
we expect perfection."

"And in line with this." Dr
Krat-he L’tiilillltit'il. "we end to judge
foreign policy by the results. For
instance. does the fall of Nationalist
China. admittedly an unfortunate
result. mean that the policy there
was bad? Had we supported Chian;
Kai-slick all-out could we have
halted the tide of communism lll
Europe by means of the Marshall
Plan?“

Although iioi elaborating on the
point. Dr. Ki'achc said that .1 seven-
th lll'lllt mic is that we should know
our history.

Political Scientist
Says Unity Needed
Between Parties

“Can the United States with its
check and balance Constitution con-
duct foreign policy successfully in a
world of power politics?"

Speaking before the Institute of
Politics yesterday morning in Outg-
nol Theatre. Dr. Quincy Wright.
University of Chicago political SCI-
entist. posed this question.

"The hostilities. incorporated in
the Constitution. between the White
House and the Hill. and the hostil-
ities between the parties which have
tended to develop. have made 1'. in-
creasingly difficult for the PreSident
and the Department of State to
pursue an effective foreign policy.“
Dr. Wright said.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
PROFESSOR pointed out that such
differences sabatogod President Wil-
son‘s policy and the League of Na-
tions following World War I. and
thus prevented an effective United
States policy against the dictator-
ships in 1935.

“They have seriously interfered
with effective policy in the conduct
of the United Nations operations in
Korea during the last year." Dr.
Wright said. "At a time when the
Kremlin dictatorship is united and
prepared to use its resources in an
aggressive policy in all sections of
the world. can the United States
give leadership in the cause of peace
and democracy when its foreign
policy is continually at the mercy
of a struggle between the President
and the Congress. and between the
political parties? This issue is per-
haps the most momentous of any in
the world."

DI. WRIGHT OFFERED FOUR
ALTERNATIVES to combat this
situation.

The first alternative. according to
the political scientist. is that of
strengthening the Executive by more
effective appeals to public opinion
and the full utilization of diplo-
matic. military. and other powers of
the Executive in spite of Congres-
sional opposition.

“Executive agreements have in
many instances been used instead
of treaties requiring the support
of the Senate." Dr. Wright ex-
plained. "But the difficulty of this
policy lies in the threat to demo-
cracy. Experience has shown that
overpowerful executives may be-
come negligent of the protection of
human rights and of democratic
participation.

“The second alternative.‘ Dr.
Wright. continued. “is strengthening

Tecumseh Sherman—0f Sen. Paul
H. Douglas soon after his arrival
at Blue Grass Field Friday when
queried as to the poss1bility of his
being the Democratic standard-
bearer in the 1952 presidential race.

"Of course." laughed the scilaltil‘
from Illinois. "there are no im-
mediate prospects of either hap-
pening."

Speaking of the 1952 Democratic
preSidential nomination. Sen. Doug-
las exprexsed his belief list: it is
'quite possible that President Tru-
man will run for re—electior..

"I saw him a couple of days ago.
and he was looking very well. es-
pecrally in View of the strain he
has been working under." Sen.
Douglas said.

THE SENATOR EXPRESSED his
admiration for Gen. Dwight Eisen-
hower. and added that if President
Truman chose not to run. he would
support the General for the Demo-
cratic nomination.

The IllinOis Democrat declari-d
that after five minutes in the Blil('<
grass he could well understand why
Kentuckians were so proud of it

"But I can't figure out what hap-
pened to all the Unionists, in Ken-
tucky after the Civil War.‘ he said
with a grin. "The people of 'he
state were more than 3—2 pro--L'nion
during the war. but now ncarlv
everyone in Kentucky claims :o be
a Confederate. My only conclusion
is that all the Unionists were
sterile.“

SEN. DOUGLAS HAD ONLY
PRAISE for Kentucky‘s new sen-

a popular and genial figure. Mr.
Douglas said that it seems as

The mounting cost of living has hit the juke box. \Vord comes

a dime now to hear Dur Bingo warble.

lohn llawley oi the National .\Iusic Association says most of
the nations cities will hike the prices within 90 days. It‘s the same
old story. he says. Ilecords used to cost about 18 cents each.
against 9] cents now. Tulle boxes used to cost $150 to $200. com—
pu-ed with $1000 to $1200. Needles used to cost 7 cents. Now

The good old nickel that used to be such an all-around coin‘

Government On Our Side

The Government apparently recognizes UK. as the Sports

(nu/u] of fire World. It continues to nod this way for top-notch
(tl.lt'llt‘\'.

llarry Lancaster. assistant basketball coach. has departed on a
mission to Greece where he will expound on basketball. Coach
‘ Bear“ Bryant will return shortly from Gennany where he is par—
ticipating in a series of gridiron clinics. Baron Rupp has been
called on before to conduct such clinics.

\\'ith a big fan like the government on our side. can the sports
world be far behind.

The Greatness 0f Trying

A pioneer effort to promote the study of human relations is
underway at UK. Twenty-three students from seven Southern
statesare attending this summer the first intemational Seminar on
Intergroup Relations ever held at a Southern university.

The problem of human relations is as old as life itself; the‘

seminar approach to the study of the problem is something com-
p iratively new. The students participating are Teaming that there
is now single technique which is a royal road to understanding.

However. perhaps more significant at the moment than under-
standing is the fact that an attempt at understanding is being made.
The class study is emphasizing practicability rather than Utopia.
which may be a long way oil.

University In Platforms

It is gratifying to note that Kentucky's legislators and wouldf

be legislators are very aware of the importance of the University
to the state.

Practically all announced platforms for the forthcoming elec»
tiou have mentioned strong support of UK. This indicates that
there is an evergrowing realization in the Commonwealth that we
cant have a great state without a great state University.
