(Continued on page two) That "real education is the only way to an ordered world" was pointed out by Mathemati cian A. W. Hobbs, dead of the school of arts and sciences, in an inspiring Armistice address be fore the Y. M. C. A. cabinets of State College Tuesday night. Discussing the pertinent topic, Is An Ordered World Possible," Dean Hobbs stressed the lack of intelligence which has character ized our national life and sug gested that "however bad it is education is our only hope for real democracy." .Homo Sapiens "The animal, homo sapiens, does not use any of the sapiens in his name whenjt comes to the occupancy of this little planet," declared Dean gobbs in painting a-picture of t.1-American scene, since 'the forn ',tion of this na tion. - Since the. -.inning of the.

Cummings, who has studied abroad for the past eight years, is at the University now, pre paring for a higher degree in Romance languages. His interest in native drama of Spain and his contention that the Playmakers are filling a definite need in the real American drama were the motives for his gesture. In speaking to the group, Cum mings emphasized, the value of the contribution-which, the dra matic, group ,.on the . scampus is making by ytheir. tour. He indi cated that the original . dramas being- presented, are effective be cause o of - the sincerity . of the playwrights, the actors, and technical staff . The. banquet was the tangible manifestation of his interest in the work of the group and his desire to encourage the group spirit in the organization.

CAMPUS KEYBOARD Chapel Hill Township .Ranks Foremost In State Those fall winds blew into town yesterday and carried in an other cloud of campus political gas. You couldn't see some of the freshmen for the dark vapor last night, also a few upperclassmen. Boy, that fall wind certainly has a lot of power. It's just like putting a man un der ether. . While he's down dreaming sweet dreams . which the gas brought to him, there is a.little. operation and a little sew ing up and then he snaps back to normal .to find something ; all fixed up like nothing happened. That's campus politics. We know of , a poor freshman who droppedout after being no minated Monday because he said he didn't have any party (?) support, so he might as well quit. Nice fellow, too. One of the best. But don't, worry, son, just hang in there. You .haven't met the right people. By the way, do you nlav football? But it's a swell system, they tell us. We don't know anything about it, but you know how peo ple are. We just like to comment about things. Maybe this fall wind will do us good, too. Yes. it's a swell system, al right.

Zimmer mann explained the purpose, of his work and the reasons .why it. should not be considered just another economics handbook. Book An-Explanation The Kenan-professor of eco nomics pointed out that- resour ces-must not be considered as isolated units, but- as parts of a complete system -of society. For that-reason his. book should not be called a-handbook, of enumer ated-resources, but a contiguous explanation of dynamic world economy. Dr. Zimmermann concluded his lecture by reading the last chapter of his book. This chap ter, which deals with world peace, he illustrated by a dia gram showing the "hierarchies" of organic and inorganic resour ces. The location of these resour ces, said the professor, is the im portant factor in determining world policies. This was the fourth in the se ries of lectures sponsored by the Bull's Head bookshop.
