PAGE TWO International Understandin Political Science In World Affairs By DB.. NEAL WEILER Last of a -Series Associate Professor of Political Science What can a political scientist say about international under-; standing and world affairs? Initially. he can seek to alert young men! and women in college to the impact of world affairsthe kindi of free. just, peaceful, and creative life they might upon like to lead.: One would imagine that most people in the United States would be quite concerned about world problems, including war. However., if we can trust a recent public opinion survey, only about eight per cent indicated that they worried about such matters. Most wor-' lied about personal and family problems. "I don't worry about' world problems I'm paying taxes for someone to do my worry ing for me." "I worry about my health. Other worries I leave to: Papa. Be's got the brains in the house" But can we leave it to Papa? Completely? Can we. in view of the ways in which world events impinge, directly and indirectly„ upon our lives, via military service and taxes, not to mention our. very survival as hamo sapiens in the event of World War In? ary service affects our education, our family, our marriage, our career. And "cold-war" military services takes plasm in the grim' shadow of the parade of casualties of World War IL We can hardly begin to grasp the figures here. If one were to grasp the number of soldiers killed and missing, one would have to spend 89 days reviewing a parade, wherein rows of ten soldiers passed before one's eyes every 5 seconds. day and night. Today, approximately SS cents out of every dollar that we spend goes to support our national defense. About 80 cents out of every dollar is spent for past. present. and future national security. But perhaps some of the individual price-tags of the "cold-sear" are even more revealing: one modern bomber--eclaivaleat tf , a modern brick school in more than 30 cities: a single destroyer-- equivalent to new homes for 8008 people. And these are only a few illustiatiOns of how world affairs - may influence our lives. This is not to mention the two-thirds of all the tom women, and children on earth today who live their lives sur-, rounded by squalor, disease. starvation. illiteracy, and premature death—a brutal statistic which enderscores the complicated revo-' lution of rising expectations in - - the frequently fans.- underdevel oped areas of the world. And this is not to mention 36 per cent of the earth's population who lire in the communist bloc which now occupies about = per cent of the earth's population. Appreciation of the need for a continuing interest in world af fairs- is, however, only a crude— if indispensable—first step on the road to international understand ing and world affairs. What fol lows such interest is much more important: a deeper appreciation of funds mental international problems; and the development of a truly mature and critical ap- 108 to Be Initiated proach to world affairs.

Joan MacKenzie- Senior Class to Consider Book Collection for Gift A book collection that would provide "good entertaining reading for undergraduate students in such fields as art. architecture, travel, contemporary literature and theatre" may be developed with the aid of the $lO,OOO Senior class gift. Ralph W. McComb, University librarian, yesterday said that the collection could be located in the Fred Lewis Pattee Library on specially d e signated shelves,' or possibly, in a separate room_ The purpose of the collection, McComb said, would be "to pro vide for the student an oppor tunity to fill in those gaps missedl in formal courses by making available "readable" books—books students would enjoy." Current Plays This would include texts of current popular Broadway plays, English translations of books by, such famous European authors as Thomas Mann Albert Camus or Colette. poetry by Edna St. Vin cent Mallay, H. L. Mencken or Robert Frost, and biographies of great contemporary artists. The collection would also have layman's editions on architecture, science, current world-wide poli tical problems and books of es :says, modern philosophies, re ligion and travel Gift Useful "This gift," McComb said,, "would be useful again and again to many hundreds of students.' We, as a university, are remote from metropolitan areas, and stu-, dents do not have access to this type of reading?' The last class gifts to the Lib rary came from the Classes of 1932 and 1935. The gifts were in the form of funds to augment the general book stock. McComb said that when the ad dition to the Library along Cur: tin Rd. was planned in the early 1950'5, the blueprint called for a "recreational reading" room to house the proposed collection. Later, he said, the plan had to be reduced because of insufficient funds. Other Suggestions McComb also suggested that the gift could be used to buy rare books, maps and manuscripts that cannot be purchased with University funds. McComb suggested this instead of aiding any general collection used by undergraduates. "The University has an obligation to buy regular; books and duplica tions: he said.
