McDonald, president of the CIO United Steelworkers of America, addressed the open ing session Sunday of the four day University-Union Education Conference of over 170 educators and labor representatives at the Nittany Lion Inn. Dr. Eisenhower spoke on the philosophy of education, particu larly the role of the land-grant institution in the nation. The trend toward specialization in America has carried its achieve ments in the mechanical aspects of our way of living beyond our accomplishments in the humanis tic fields, he said. This is a serious shortcoming, he said, as “it is on these that the basic character of a civilization depends.” ‘ America’s universities must be ‘in the front lines” in the struggle for minds and allegiances of men,. Dr. Eisenhower urged. He said they must lead “the cause of free dom toward that understanding and that economic, social ana military cooperation among the nles of the world which nolds' ast a promise of peace with freedom and justice among na tions.” McDonald said that the auto maton will not be an econoniic source of trouble to unions in the future, but a sociological one of shorter hours and higher earnings that must be solved by steel workers and universities. Answers to the further displace ment of man-power will be found as more and more factories come into being, he said. He reminded the delegates to remember that “only human beings consunie the produce of factories and only hu man beings have purchasing power-” Pollock Council to Meet Pollock Council will meet at 6 p.m. tomorrow in the council room of Nittany 20.
