December 14, 1943 America And The Peace Sub ject of Dr. Hocking “America and the Peace” was the subject of Dr. William E. Hockmg, internationally-known philosopher, when he spoke in the Queens aimi- torium on Tuesday ®vemng, De cember 1. The United States has a part to play in the peace that will follow this present chaos—and she must play this part 'well if we are to experience an enduring peace, said Dr. Hocking. Using a three sided thesis, he said that the U. S. would have to contribute to the solutioi^ of eco nomic, political, and ethical Prob lems of the peace. “We have the reputation of being a trifle over ready to give good advice to a troubled world, without having fully understood its problems. But in this present emergency that seii- confidence is not conspicuous. We are not so ready, as a nation, to put forward ideas. We are aware of a certain lack of mental prepara tion.” _ Dr. Hocking said that the U. S. as a young, foresighted nation “has something of her own to give.” Re garding the possessions of the United States, he declared that we have “tried to help the people of our dependencies forward; we have given them an education; we have brought them on toward self-gov ernment.” The Filipinos were praised for their stand against the Japanese. Their loyalty to the United States proved that they will be of value in the solving of the peace problems. “The motive of any economic re form is the standards of living of all men. The standards of living of all men are the concern of all. If we reject this policy merely to place the advantage in our own hands, then we renounce the dream that the war is a war of principle. We are then also committed to the arduous task of working out a world economy.” He disapproved of the balance of power policy—as it offers no op portunity to abandon the national sovereignty idea. “It is the special prerogative of this country to in sist on the standards set up by the Atlantic Charter, that it shall mean what it says without mental reser vations. This means that no part of the world is to be considered the Sporting News field for exploitation of its people, however far advanced.” “It belongs to the American spirit to believe that there is a common principle of right which can be the basis of an international law. And if there is such at law, then all national sovereignty is automatical ly limited by obligation to that universal principle of duty.” Vesper Services Held At Queens December 12 (Continued from page two) Prayer—Dr. Hunter B.

While sports pre viously have been either the partic ipation of a compelled maximum or voluntary minimum, they have now become an invigorating part of everyone’s schedule. Early in the year Dorothy Round Little and Mary Hardwick, two na tional English champions, played for an enthusiastic audience of Queens students and faculty mem bers. This created a great sensa tion on campus and inspired girls to work even harder on tennis technique. Hockey was the first item on the sports program this year in which the students participated. At the end of the season the freshmen and sophomores competed for “hockey title” and the Junior class, scheduled to play against the wm- ning class, failed to defeat the in vincible freshman class. Soon after hockey was started. Miss Mitchell offered to teach horseback riding and swimming lessons to interested students on Monday and Wednesday after noons, resnectively. 'These two fea tures will be resumed in the spring. At the present the sports depart ment is featuring soeedball for all gym classes. Abilities along this line will be tried soon in a speed- ball tournament. On Monday, 'Tuesday, and Fri day afternoons, basketball prac tices are held in the gymnasium. There is great excitement over a Campus Wide Basketball Tourna ment to be featured after Christ mas. 'There will be eighteen teams composed of the six sororities, three dormitories, eight gym classes and the day student body. Each team will be comprised of eight players. Therefore, one girl may be on only one team. The tournament will be played off by simple elimination, and a prize will be awarded the winning team. All girls interested in basketball are urged to come out to practices, and to get ready for the tournament.
