Euwema Upholds Liberal Arts (Continued from page four) In spite of all the scornful talk about the unworldliness of scholars and t h e impractical character of the "egg-heads," all of us know that liberal schol- . arship—scholarship in the arts and sciences—has always had an astounding influence in the world, and never more so than in the world of the 20th century. Assuming all this to be so, you will want to be told what you can do about the liberal disciplines in the arts and sciences. First, 'understand them. Do not assume that, because you cannot see their immediate utility that they are not useful in any sense. Do not call their practitioners "egg-heads" just because they say things you either cannot under stand or do not like. And, second, try yourself to think like a scien tist about the physical world, the social world, and the world of the self. The liberal point of view— using the word now in this spe cial and non-political sense—. has these characteristics: (1) It is disinterested. Not un-- interested. The disinterested per son looks at phenomena without prejudice or bias—as we say, ob jectively, impersonally. Shall we change a tax law or a formula for the assessment of real estate? How can we decide? By study ing the proposals dispassionate ly; by asking, "Is this right?" and not, "How does this affect me?" (2) It is historic'—the liberal point of view is the one with per- THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Jane Montgomery eo_echb Marilyn Buzby Today Court UN Ed Adviser Speaks Tonight At Radio Guild Bernar'r Cooper, audio-visual education aclViser to the United Nations, will discuss "The Battle of Men's Minds" at 8 tonight in 316 Sparks. The speaker is being sponsored by Radio Guild. Students and fac ulty members interested in mass media may attend. For the past two years Cooper has been training, organizing, and directing . the writing, research, and production of education pro gram staffs for orienting 150,000 Korean and Chinese prisoners of war. Cooper has helped in the pro duction setup for Korean radio stations for over seven years. As chief of production and adviser to the Broadcasting Corporation of Japan from 1946 to 1952, he supervised the materials and per sonnel for 114 radio stations. Cooper has worked with the United States government and United Nations agencies in the field of public relations. He tried to establish copyright clearance and control societies throughout the world and planned education al activities through broadcast ing. spective. It asks, "How did this come about?" "Has this ever been tried before?" If so, what hap pened? Are conditions the same today? (3) It is traditional—it is part of the long Judaic - Hellenic - Christian. tradition that goes back to the ancients. It contin ues what Robert Hutchins calls the "Great Conversation." The Great Conversation concerns such matters as the nature of the Good, the possibility of its attainment, and the way to rec ognize it when it has been at tained. It is in the straight-line tradition of Moses, Isaiah, Soc rates, Plato, St. Augustine, Spi noza, and Santayana. (4) It is continuous—the liberal studies are never complete; final answers are never found. Each generation produces its own form ulations in the light of its own ex periences and shortcomings.

Woman Who Works May Take Criticism The woman who works, even in our modern era, will have to be able to take much criticism, Mrs. Charles Henderson, Philadelphia marriage counselor and member of the College for Women of the University of Pennsylvania, told women attending the Women's Stu dent Government Association's annual convocation last night. "There are three reasons why women work." she said. "A few have to , work to support their family, some work to raise their standard of living, and some want to work." Domestic Life Not Satisfying Elaborating on the last point, Mrs. Henderson said, "After an active college life, including such activities as women's student gov ernment and the like, the college graduate may find domestic life not satisfying enough." A woman who works will have to face many disadvantages, she said, and explained how home life can suffer when a working wife becomes "too efficient." "A woman may work in one area or the other, or a combina tion of the two," she concluded, "but she should do what will be the happiest solution for herself and her family." Officers Installed Nancy White, retiring WSGA president, installed new WSGA of ficers and Senators preceding Mrs. Henderso'n's address. They are Patricia Ellis, presi dent; Portia Kingsley, vice presi dent; Arlene Borgeson, secretary; Susan Hill, treasurer; Gail' Smith, senior senator; Carolyn Cunning ham and Patricia Dickinson, jun ior senators; Martha Michener, sophomore senator; and Nancy Van Tries, town senator. Joyce Shusman was installed as Judicial `chairman. The new Senate will take over following Easter vacation. Following the convocation, a coffee hour was held. Miss Ellis, retiring junior senator, served as convocation chairman. Prexy Will Address Block and Bridle Club President Milton S. Eisenhow er will address an open meeting of the Block and Bridle Club at 7 tonight in 109 Agricultur. Pres ident Eisenhower will speak on "Agricultural Developments." Bayard Will Address Slavonic Organization Samuel P. Bayard, professor of English, will• address the Ameri can Slovanic Organization at 7:30 tonight in the Home Economics living center. His topic will be "Slovanic Folk Lore." we never discover "the" answer to any basic problem. In "this re spect the truth is like happiness. The Founding Fathers did not say we could ever possess happi ness: they said merely we have the eternal natural right to pur sue it. Similarly, we never achieve the truth, but we are privileged to pursue it. The pursuit of the truth for its own sake is, after all, a hu man instinct. It is this instinct, said John Stuart Mill, which distinguishes us from the beasts. For it is better, as has been said, to be a dissatisfied philosopher than a• satisfied pig.

But with a new deal in swing —if the Greeks and campus politicos are going to wash their faces —so am I, and go one step further and wash my hands, too! If you think they go together, watch an 8-year old moppet some- , time. From out of an orange-colored sky... Falls an array of delicacies right from this citrus fruit. A syrup that can be used as a base for cocktails, and pun ches or as a sauce for ice cream and, pancakes—l sup pose it could double as hair tonic in a pinch. Slices that will add a delectable touch to that roasting ham or duck. And of course marmalade, prepared from an old English recipe (by the witches of Mac beth). Tuck in your suitcase for Mom. In the days of the Pony Express . . . They had sealing wax that looked like blobs of chewing gum stuck on envelopes—so why not have it today to add something to your correspon dence. Four different colors of wax, a stamp with your initial and now all you need is your quill, parchment and sand and we dub thee Sohn Hancock. We think the idea is cute—we think the letter receivers will agree (and once the postman gets his finger unstuck he will tool) Wee wipers for interest . . . Are the boxes of "Mop-it- Ups" at ETHEL'S that we do believe were made for the Lilliputians. Thick, absorbent and labeled. "For Lips", "For Razors"—figure the rest out yourself. Great housewarming gift because it has the distinc tion of being unusual and use ful. Great for sopping up spilled drinks before they re move the varnish from the ta ble (and think what it's doing to your tummy!) —we'll see you at ETHEL'S— right? IRmj 12 E. COILLEGE AYE.
