' Liberal Arts Council Votes To Help inkling ' Liberal Arts Student council voted last night to give up its shingles in order to appropriate $5O to the Inkling, proposed lit erary magazine. . The publication, chartered last spring, has repeatedly run into difficulty trying to gain financial backing. Samuel Vaughan, editor of the publication, said after the meet ing of the council that if one or two other possible sources of backing would come through, the first issue would be published this spring. Started In Cabinet The action originated in All- College cabinet when Edward Shanken, president of the coun cil pledged the support of his group to the magazine. Most _sources contacted by the Inkling staff had been unenthusi astic about the publication. All-College cabinet has appro priated $6OO to the payment of debts contracted by previous lit erary magazines in order to give the Inkling a good will basis on which to work. The money was paid out to creditors of Critique, the last one that operated on campus. The book as it is proposed now would not be a strictly commer cial •product, but would include fiction, poetry, photography, and art. Pivot To Be Self-Sustaining Pivot, proposed student verse magazine to be published in April, will be operated on a "self-sus taining basis," J. ,L. Grucci, as sistant •professor of English Com position, said yesterday. Estimated circulation of the magazine on .an all-College basis is ',400 . copies, Grucci said. The publication will sell for 25 cents. Ben EuWema, dean of the School of Liberal Arts, confirmed lait night that he would extend financial aid to Pivot from his budget, if necessary, but that such action was not expected to be needed.' Aid Offered Grucci 'said he received a let ter. from S. K. Hostetter, comp troller at the College, offering aid to the extent of $7O. Dean Euwema said he already was committed to support Pivot before he was approached by the Inkling for financial backing. By that time, budgets had become tight and he was unable to 'help the Inkling, he said. Issue Per Semester The magazine is planned as a one issue per semester project, Grucci added. Members of the Pivot staff will meet tomorrow night at 239 Sparks at 8 o'clock. The election of two .associate editors, a •secre tary-treasurer, and a • business manager will be held. Students interested in joining the PiVot staff may attend the meeting, Grucci said. • Crosby's Condition Fine SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 13—M—Bing Crosby, operated upon for a kidney ailment yes terday, is "getting• along just fine," his doctor said today.

Strength, Will For Peace Necessary, Says Maurois CEEEEMEI A reaffirmed will for peace and the strength to show possible ag gressors that war would not bene fit them, is the remedy for the present unstable world situation, according to Andre Maurois, French biographer, novelist, and essayist. There is an urgent need for spiritual unity in the face of the grave misunderstandings of the world today, Maurois told a Com munity forum audience in. Schwab auditorium last night. The young people of the pre sent generation are discouraged with science and progress, which were the ideals of the last gen eration, Maurois said. A common philosophy is that "science has turned us into gods before we deserved to be men," he added. Turn To Three Things In France today the younger generation is turning to one of three things in order to combat 'this disgust with man's accom plishments, he said. These are a return to religion; the adoption of the Marxist philosophy; or a turn toward.existentialism, which contends that man is not an ob ject, like• a piece of furniture, but a subject, a.world in, himself. Ac cording to existentialism, the world• exists only as it appears to and affectS the self. Bute any situation can be al tered. by, will. sakiltraurois.. There NSA Absentee Voting To Be Circulated Here Dorm Council Votes To Oust Budget Items Officers of the West dorm coun cil were instructed Monday to vote to revoke items in the AIM budget calling for expenditures for a banquet and keys for AIM board members.

Dr. Hatcher Returns Dr. Hazel Hatcher, professor of home economics• education an d home-community relationships at the College, has returned from Germany where she spent three months as a home economics spe cialist in the educational program of the U.

Most of Dr. Hatcher's work was done in connection with the Ber. urspadagogisches Institute, a school for the training of voca tional teachers in Germany. must be a resurrection of man's belief in his own power, he said. On the subject of the willing ness of Europe to participate in its own defense, Maurois said that this can be measured only in di rect proportion to the will of the people. He said that the majority of French citizens want reason able hope of success before fight ing for their country, and that added strength would build up their confidence. Must Have Strength Strength must be achieved, not in order to fight, but in order to show a possible agressor that war would not pay, Maurois said. Rus sia does not want its towns and fields destroyed any more than we do ours, he added. Maurois defended the United Nations organization, stating that the world urgently needs some form of common organization. It is not perfect, he said, but it is young and learning. He defined a perfectionist as "a man who is not content with a solution for every problem, but seeks a prob-. lem for every solution." The idealogies of the East and West are too much opposed for them to meet, but they will tol erate each other if they are mu tually strong, he said. France an d America have worked together before, said Maurois, and now together they must accomplish "peace with honor." .
