3 Revolutions Root Of
European Catastrophe
The roots of the European catastrophe are based on three revo
lutions, Dr. Peter Viereck, associate professor of history at Mt Holy
oke college, said last night at the Simmons lecture co-sponsored by
the graduate school.
He said:
1. The ethical revolution knocked out the restraints society used
to gain ends and transferred de
mocracy to Bolshevism.
2. The territorial revolution
changed Germany and Italy from
decentralized states to central,
aggresive nations.
3. The industrial revolution in
three phases created new values.
During the late 18th Century ma
terialism swept over religious
values and impetus was given to
nationalism.

TUB Is Good Outlet
For. 2100 Per Day
Doughnut dunkers, ping-pong players and fox-trot fanciers can
all find due outlet for their pastimes at the TUB.
As a matter of fact, W. R. Reed, assistant manager of the TUB,
estimated that over 2100 students use the facilities of this building
in one day.
The TUB, or Temporary Union Building, located on Shortlidge
road across from the Jordan Fer
tility plots, has been operating on
the Penn State campus since Feb
ruary, 1948. It was moved here
from Lebanon, Pa., where it had
previously served as a USO cen
ter for soldiers in that area. The
building was moved in parts, and
it was pieced together, Reed be
lieves, more firmly than it was
originally built.
Before the TUB was opened,
students congregated in a small
coffee shop in the basement of
Ole Main and in the lounges on
the first and second floor. The
facilities were inadequate for the
rapidly expanding post-war en
rollment, and thus it was that the
TUB came into existence, Reed
explained
The building was purchased as
a stop-gap measure until a Stu
dent Union building could be con
structed. But now, Reed states, it
looks as if the TUB may be here
for a longtime. Even if permission
is granted for a new building, it
will take several years for con
struction.
So, with a patch or two here
there, the TUB continues to
TUESDAY, APRIL 11), 1951
The second phase of the indus
trial revolution, centered in Ger
many built the idea of power
politics and statism, changed na
tionalism to imperialism, and cre
ated the move from laissez-faire
to monopoly.
During the third phase, center
ed in America, the change seen
is the development of atomic
power and perhaps in the future
to the exploitation of inter-plan
etary exploration, Viereck said.
World War I, he said, smashed
the moral fabric of the world.
It was during this time that Hit
ler and Lenin saw the rise of
nationalism of the Nazis and Bol
shevists'
~respectively. Only
through war they felt could par
liamentary Europe be crushed,
Viereck said.
Today, socialism and national
ism is combined in communism to
make it doubly effective. Viereck
said. Stalin appeals to the Rus
sian people by expansion and to
others by offering a psuedo
socialism.
This faith in economics can
be a powerful force, Viereck said,
because history is made by ideas
and values. Even some of the
best minds in 4merica are_ try
ing to find'salvation through eco
nomics and materialism, he said.
However, Viereck said, western
civilization, fed by religious lead
ers and philosophers, can arise
to critical situations and stresses.
This heritage is built upon the
stern moral commandments of
Judaism, the love of the free
Hellenic mind, the objectivity of
Roman law and the brotherhood
of Christianity.
Human beings refuse to be
pushbuttons, Vier e c k said. He
quoted Napoleon's phrase that
there are two powers in the world
and that is the sword and the
spirit. In the end, the quote con
tinued, the spirit will always win.

serve Penn State students.
Housed in the building are a
main lOunge, two smaller lounges
on either wing, a ballroom which
is capable of holding 250 couples,
a ping-pong room, a small room
for pin ball machines, and a room
for the student book exchange.
The main lounge contains a soda
bar which serves sandwiches, ice
cream,and light drinks. This bar
is especially busy during lunch
hours when many commuting and
married students use the facilities
for eating.
Because of the limited space
available, most of the activities
of the TUB are unplanned. Stu
dents can come in and dance, gab,
eat, or even study. One imagina
tive group went so far as to hold
an impromtu weinie roast in the
fire place of the main lounge.
Organized activities are limited
to the Penn State Chess club, the
Penn State Duplicate Bridge club,
and the Student Union Dancing
classes,• which hold regular ses
sions in the building.
The TUB has provided recrea
tion and entertainment for thou
sands of students. ---
