A student, how ever, can receive only one such deferment, he said.

Schlesinger's talk was the third in this season's Community Forum series. Art Ed Prof to In First of LA Dr. Viktor Lowenfeld, professor of art education at the College, will open the Liberal Arts lecture series at 8 tonight in 121 Sparks by discussing the subject "On Creative Types: Visual and -Non- Visual Art Experiences." Slides will be used by Lowenfeld throughout the talk to illus trate the different arts he will discuss. Lowenfeld said that people see a great deal of art by which they are puzzled. He will attempt to show from what psychological sources art grows and will an alyze the roots from which .mod ern art expression grows. Studied in Vienna The art of blind people will also be brought out by Lowen feld. He says that the art of the blind shows non-visual art in its purest form. He will also take up the art of primitives and ancient times. Born in Lins, Austria, Lowen feld is a graduate of the College of Applied Arts in Vienna, the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, and the University of Vienna. He also taught in Vienna prior to coming to this country in 1938. During World War 11, Lowen feld was a special consultant for the visual aids program of the U.S. Navy and designed special tests for the U.S. Air Force. Listed in 'Who's Who' Lowenfeld has. served as the head of the art department at Hampton Institute,' Hampton, Va., and conducted research at Per kins Institution for the Blind at Watertown, Mass. He also served as consult ant psychologist at Lochland Institute, Geneva, N.Y. He was 'appointed to the Penn State faculty in 1946. • He is listed in "Who's Who in the Western Hemisphere" and Who's Who in American Edu cation." Four years ago Lowenfeld's book, "Creative and Men t al Growth," was published in this country. It is used as a text in 160' universities and colleges in this country and in six foreign colleges. A greatly expanded re vision of this book will appear in March. Swedish and French translations are now being made. All lectures in the series are open to the public. ratan Suggestions to Aid Parking— See Page 4 Lecture Series Hat Council Recommends Druids Revision A proposal calling for Druids, sophomore hat society, "to enact a new constitution" embodying three specific recommendations was unanimously approved by Hat Society Council last night. The three recommendations ap proved were: "1. a review of the basis of membership in the society with a view toward broadening the basis of membership to include I activities other than athletics. "2. alteration of the constitu tion so that it adheres to accepted constitutional form. "3. elimination of the 'black ball' system of electing mem bers." The recommendation was mov ed by James Wharton, Parmi Nous president, who said that= `the job could be 'done in three dr four meetings." Marvin Krasnansky, Hat' So ciety Council president, stressed that the action was only a recom mendation. He pointed out that the council had only the power to recommend in such cases, with the hope that a member society will heed the advice. The council also discussed the method of Druids' tapping. Milton Bernstein, Skull a n d Bones president favored-the idea of having an arbitrary tapping period, which would occur once or twice a year. Druids' consti tution now reads that the society may tap any time during the year. The idea \to recommend a limited tapping period was dropped, how ever, when strong opposition was raised by other council members. PRICE FIVE CENTS Forum Hears Historian In Schwab By BETTIE LOUX America- should choose her al lies on the basis of their beliefs in individual rights and liberty rather than economic structure, as the main issue in the world today is democracy versus tyranny, Ar thur Schlesinger Jr. told a near capacity Community Forum au dience last night. The slight, spectacled Harvard professor answered his topic, "Can We Work with Socialism to Beat Communism?" with the opinion that the people on America's side must believe in the freedom of the individual. The American people should not expect more than this, he said, or fears of American imperialism may arise. "We can't expect to refashion the world in our image," he said, as this country's economic struc ture is "not necessarily infallible." Socialist Combat Reds If socialism chooses democracy over tyranny it is on the side of the free countries, he pointed out, in spite of conflicting economic ideas. Schlesinger pointed out that communism is being kept down in Europe somewhat by the influ ence of the socialist party. Where the socialists are in control of the working class, he said, the com munists can't infiltrate. Great Britain, a socialist coun try until the last election, has been America's most powerful al ly, he maintained, and it would have been fantastic for this coun try to have rejected Britain purely because of economic reasons. In connection with this he men tioned a recent speech by Harold E. Stassen, president of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, who de clared that aid to nationalized countries should be dropped. Communism a 'Parley' Schlesinger differentiated be tween • a negative alliance, such as that America had with Russia during World War II by necessity, and a positive alliance where work would be toward a common objective. He said that whether a positive alliance with Socialist countries is possible depends on whether Socialism tends toward capitalism or communism. Schlesinger said that commun ism seems like a "mocking par ody" of Socialism to most liberals, and that present Socialists have abandoned classical socialism. They believe in increasing, but (Continued on page eight) Prexy to Attend MI Banquet President Milton S.
