S. U. Language
Instructor 111
Mrs. Dorothea Dauer, instructor
in the Foreign Language Depart-
ment, has been in the hospital for
the past week. The immediate
cause of her entrance into the hos-
pital was a relapse of a mending
injured hip.
A few days prior to the open-
ing of school, Mrs. Dauer had
taken a trip to San Angelo. The
trip up was negotiated successful-
ly, but soon after leaving San
Angelo on her way back to Austin,
her auto suddenly went out of con-
trol, tossing her into a ditch. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Dauer, the exact
cause of the accident is a mystery.
She had had her car completely
serviced and checked prior to the
trip. There was no known mechan-
ical defect to tho car, but she docs
know that she lost control of it
and knew nothing more of the ac-
cident until she reached a hospital
in San Angelo. According to wit-
nesses on the scene her car, travel-
ing at a moderate rate of speed,
suddenly swerved into the ditch.
After a thorough examination at
the hospital, she was released with
no crippling injuries, although her
hip gave her some throuble. By
being careful with it, she decided
to try to meet her classes as usual.
After two weeks, the injury got
the best of her and she was forced
to return to St. David’s hospital
in Austin for further treatment.
A spokesman for the department
said that it was. thought that Mrs.
Dauer would be able to resume her

Open Letter Concerning
Economic Need Released
Here is part of a letter which
we received on the campus from a
recent visitor to Europe. “The
REAL Europe — I saw Intimately.
I visited 16 homeb in London alone.
I met 18-year-olds who looked no
more than 12. I dropped in a lunch-
time and nowhere did I find them
having more than a slice of bread
or two (sometimes with butter;
more often not) and a cup of tea.
I found them peeling potatoes, no
larger than ping-pong balls, for
dinner and ‘perhaps, we’ll have a
bit of fish if Mother can find
some.’
"I visited French villages and
found that a maid must work three
Jays to buy a new apron, a car-
penter must work a week to buy
a new hammer. I found families
living in caves holowed out of hill-
sides in Rome; other families of
ten or twelve living in one or two

dwelling derelicts. They are clerks,
stenographers, skiled factory wor’

Local Stamp Club
Bids For Members
Something new in the way of ed-
ucational recreation is being offered
to the residents of Georgetown and
to students of the University in the
organization of a Stamp Club this
Wednesday night at the American
Legion Hall at 7:30 p.m. The Legion
Hall is located on East 8th Street
and everyone interested is urged to
attend.
The club is open to all, and is to
operate through the sponsorship of
several local business men and pro-
fessors. Experience is not required,
and the interest and profit to be ob-
tained from such a hobby might
well be of benefit to you.
“Whether you have ever collected
stamps or not,” says Peter Gaupp,
deputations chairman of the S.C.A.,
“come anyway, no matter how long
yon may have neglected this hobby.
We hope that the new club will in-
spire you with new zeal.”
Philatelists will be provided with
opportunities for trading and sell-
ing. A new Scott Catalogue will be
on hand also. Business, however,
will be the primary purpose of the
club, but the exchange of experi-
ice and knowledge in the field of
collecting and exchange of stamps.
No membership fees are necessary
to become a member of the club.
Anyone may join. And as Peter says,
“Stamp collectors are nice people,
quite peaceful and harmless. Come
and Bee it for yourself!”

Hester Speaks On
Foreign Policy Aim
Sunday night in a talk given be-
fore the Methodist Student Fellow-
ship at their regular meeting, Dr.
Hester spoke on the subject, “Where
Is the American Foreign Policy
Going?” Fully qualified to be a
spokesman on the subject, Dr. Hes-
ter, the head of the History Depart-
ment, began his talk with a remind-
er that the foreign policy of the
United States is coming to be more
highly regarded by the American
people as reported in a survey con-
ducted by a Gallup Poll. The Isola-
tionist view 1b fast fading as the
politically potent power it had en-
joyed up until the advent of World
War II. At the .present time, it Is
almost impossible to find anyone
who will claim that our biographi-
es distance is a deciding factor in
our safety.v
Dr. Blester carried the point far-
ther by saying that there isn’t a ma-
jor city in the United States that
Russia conld not bomb and return.
With Russia’s construction of an
atom bomb, that fact is one that
tho strategists in Washington are
worrying over, with many changes
Ming brought about in their plans.
As to the atomic bomb. Dr. Hester
says that it is possible that the
se it to be cancelled out. Proof
tho pUnsihinty- at Mile view
was given in the fact that poison
gas, tho commodity most feared for
the troops in this war, tree never
employed. Bach side vu afraid of
retafllstion by the ether side wore
they to Mgln using it
PSYCHO—
It says here the man makes the
clothes but the shoes make a man—
if they fit—Psycho 331.
As to some of the results of World
War II and how they will affect ns,
It was pointed out that no longer is
France and Germany the fulcrum of
the balance of power politics as
forcerly. The shift has been towards
Russia and the United States. But
things are still static, with another
potential power beginning to appear
on the horixon, the Orient. With one
fourth the population of the world,
there seems to be a definite move-
ment on the part of India and
China to become a world power. As
to whether or- not Communism has
been successful in congnering China,
Dr. Hester stated that it is too ear-
ly to know which way China will go.
China has seen conquerors come and
go. Whether the Communists will be
more than a ripple on a vast sea
has yet to be eeen.
Dr. Hester concluded his talk
with the open question as to whether
the world is in for another arma-
ment race. If so, is will be of a
magnitude unheard of since the ad-
vent of civilised man upon the
earth. One thing is sure, the world
is presently in the threes of a war
ideas, with the authoritarian, as
represented by the Communistic or-
der, drawn np against the Demo-
cratic way of life. Bach idea hat
its sphere of influence, each trying
to replace the other with his ides.
With Prance and Germany to mere
satellites of the United States, the
front lines are definitely drawn
«F HT It will there,"with Comarahism
to cross. To uphold this front line,

fore him on a plate. Breakfast In
Berlin is likely to be thin soup
(perhaps made from potato peel-
ings left from dinner the night be-
fore) a slice of black bread and
"maybe, if we are lucky, a cup of
coffee.”
“I visited refugee camps —
there are eight million refugees in
Western Germany — and saw men
and women of 40 who looked 60,
saw boys and girls of 10 — with
eyes that looked ten times ten.
‘‘Yet, conditions are better over-
seas . . . black bread Is better than
no bread at all . . . thin pea soup
or potato-peeling soup is better
than none—existence (you and I
would not call it living) is better
than starvation . . .”
These people still need our help.

Fall Semester. The club meets

is urged to attend.
Subject of the discussions was
“What Next-War? Peace? Chaos?
Depression?” Principle speakers
on the program were Ken Bass,
‘‘Moose Flynn” and Gillette Shep-
herd.
Displaying a wide variety of
opinion and observation, the speak-
ers were very well informed and
the delivery of their messages de-
served a much larger audience
than the scant three dozen who
attended. The Student Body could
do much to further Its understand-
ing of present day power politics
by joining the group at its future
meetings.

VA Scraps GI Course
Change Order
WASHINGTON — The Veterans
Administration canceled Wednes-
day its controversial order restrict-
ing the rights of veterans to
change courses of study under the
GI Bill.
Veterans Administrator Carl R.
Gray Jr., issued a new set of reg-
ulations permitting many veterans
to change courses and schools, or
to take post graduate study, or to
enroll in schools established since
September, 1944, without provid-
ing special “justification.”
The older order, now abolished,
required “justification” in such
cases.
Tho new regulations continue a
ban on avocational or recreational
courses.
Under this ban, the government
will not pay tuition, or other GI
Bill benefits, for a course of study
pursued as a pleasure rather than
as training for an occupation.
Tho ban was adopted after tes-
timony qbout GI courses in ball-
room dancing and drink-mixing,
The order which Gray canceled
was issued In mid-September. Vet-
erans organizations had complained
that it threatened to cut off from
GI benefits many veterans who had
changed courses with the opening
of schools this fall.
In announcing his revised order.
Gray said in a statement that he
"lully intends to see that veterans
receive every benefit under the
GI Bill to which they are entitled.”
Ho added:
“It is my further responsibility
not to give veterans any benefits
specifically denied them by the
Congress.”
The new order becomes effective
Nov. 1. Beginning on that date.
Gray said, any veteran desiring
additional educational training ben-
efits, or wishing to change his
course or institution, must show in
his application the name of the
course and the institution.
He said veterans otherwise elig-
ible and whose conduct and prog-
ress have been satisfactory, will
be allowed to change to any course
or get additional training that is
“commonly recognized as being in
the same general field as the orig-
inal normally related progressive
objective.”
? cancc in pdesent day political
thinking. In summing up the
American and Russian foreign
>£>1 policies, he described that of the
A'?] Soviet Union as a process of
“kicking at” doors, while that of
the U. S. as a three-fold process
of containment, house-cleaning,
and active opposition to the Sov-
iets.
Mr. Davis does not think the
cold war means a hot war, but
insists each side must make con-
cessions until that which is most
desirable remains for the peoples
of the earth. “Our civilization must
not be saved”, he says, "but that
part which i3 good must be pre-
served.”
Howard Pierce Davis started his
career a3 a preacher, but he d 'vot-
ed much of his time to th •> c on-
templation and study of the tries
of history in the lives of men, ob-
serving with profound uneasiness
the ever greater encroachment of
totalitarian ideologies and the ever
stronger efforts to shake the
structure of Democracy.
An Irresistible compulsion drew
him inevitably into tire field of in-
ter-national affairs to the exclus-
ion of all else. With the passion of
a burning conviction of things to
be done, armed with years of pro-
found study of yesterday's history
and observation of today’s events,
he eventually burned his bridges
completely and finely. He resigned
his post and departed for Europe
for a first hand look at that part
of the world which was challenging
the world's most priceless heritage
—freedom and democracy.
He covered France, England,
Germany, and Austria. With his
peculiar clairvoyance, he sensed
the impending tragedy of Europe
long before Hitler came into power,
and managed, by a ruse, to meet
that strange fanatic and his hench-
man, Rudolph Hess, long before
most persons suspected what a
horrible impact these personalities
would one day have upon a large
part of the globe.
Mr. Davis has been associated
with NEWS WEEK and in their
service toured Italy and Germany
at the time of the infamous Hit-
ler-Mussolini intrigue at the Ber-
lin Olympics. He covered the
Czech crisis In 1938 and the Polish '
crisis In 1939. In 1940 he attended
the Havana Conference and has
since attended every important
conference of world affairs pos-
sible.
