I believe the Greeks were right in saying the unpardonable
kin is "hybris" man's excessive pride in his abilities and
strength.
I believe this century is prone to that sin. The expansion
of scientific knowledge and the enormous power resulting
from its application make us drunk with imminent sell
deification. I believe college students are particularly vulnerable to
the half -truths "knowledge is power." Many are so consumed
by the urge to acquire power through knowledge that they
omit the corollary questions, "Knowledge of what?," "Power
to do what for what goals?"
I believe the axioms "God is love" and "the soul of man is
immortal" are of crucial importance to everyone. The first
affirms that there is an ultimate whence and whither and that
this source and goal is not only spiritual, but benevolent. The
second includes each individual actively within that spiritual
totality. It affirms there are things other and greater than
being alive. "What would I give my life for?" Is there any
tlung or concept more valuable for oneself or for others than
living and keeping busy? If not, the process of being alive
has become the greatest value. Belief in the immortality of
the soul completely changes one's "frame of reference" for
values.
I believe that western democracy is the still olumauy
evolving attempt to translate these airitorns (and the Christian
religion built upon them) into political and, today. Into econ-
I believe that scientific methodology is invalid as basic
proof of the existence of values of art, human emotions, or
religion. The human systems of numerical loeaim emmt and
of logic cannot assume final authority in such areas. If totality
is love, it includes the human power of reason; there is no
basis for tKinMwg that such a totality should be bounded by
human reason.
I believe in the Inescapable responsibility of the individual
continually to exercise free, moral choice. I have little sym
pathy for those who complain they lack 100 freedom of
will or choice. I know I am often afraid, or unwilling, or too
lazy to exercise that percentage of moral choice I do controL
I believe that sin is the choice, by any person, of what he
knows to be the lesser good.
I have worked for twenty-five years in hospitals, ghettoes,
prisons. Insane asylums, tent-hospitals during World War II
across Prance and Germany; among Alaskan Indians, Ken
tucky mountaineers, the Bowery, and the wreckage in Ger
man prison-camps: I have studied in several universities both
here and abroad. Mostly alone but at one time with guidance,
I have travelled rather widely within myself. I am familiar
with death, with the medical application of science, with many
problems of social welfare. And I have seen and done and read
nothing in science or the humanities leading me to expect
that man can lift himself up by the bootstraps of his intel
lect and of his will-power, alone. Everything that I have
don, seen and learned strengthens my now earnest belief that
God is love and that the soul is immortal.

Is it a success or failure? What
has it achieved? What will it
be able to do in the future? Each
of us must seriously consider
thsse questions, for its ulti
mate success or failure may
mean the scourge of another
world war or eventual peace
between nations. The main con
cern is that we mjst not bs in
different to the United Nations.
Every American as well as citi
zens of all nationalities must to
day be thinking about the wel
fare of the United Nations. Why?
Because it is the only instrument
which rises above the rivalncs
of different nations and systems
of government. In it is embodied
the machinery for the preserva
tion of world peace, in an ace
which is grasping desperately
for a means of preventing
misery and deprivation from
coming to future generations.
Just seven years ago the
United Nations was created in
San Francisco, with its prime
goal of preventing future fra
tricidal wars such as those
which have twice nearly leveled
our society. Fortunately America
has escaped the total effects of
war in the sense of the destruc
tion which has taken place in
Europe. But another war will be
different. To avoid future wars,
the United Nations was created.
How well has it worked? Are
you one of those people who
aits back and says the United
Nations has already had its
olden opportunity and failed?
Art you one of those individuals
who says it is doing the best it
can but that it cannot succeed
due to the hortromints of its
basic structure? Or do you be
lieve that an adequate Job is
being done, and that if the
United Nations continues as it
is douvg now that world peace
will be achieved?
Tne important thing is that
we do think about the United
Nations, and that if we feel that
the United Nations is worth pre
serving that we begin doing
something about it- Are we be
ing fair to our children and
future generations if we ignore
the means by which they may be
saved from the horrors our gene
ration has fared and is facing
today?
If you accept this challenge
then the thing to do is act.
Actively support the program of
the United Nations. Even though
you may fed it is inadequate,
it is still the greatest instru
ment we have today for the
prevention of another war. If
we feel the United Nations must
be strengthened, then the thing
to do is to be disgusting and
thinking about how it can be
made better and more effective.
Every instrument of law and
order must grow and improve
Today the United Nations is a
great step forward from the
League of Nations.
In 1955 there is to be an in
ternational conference to eva
luate and meet the new needs
of the United Nations, issues
will be voted upon by the Gene
ral Assembly. Such a conference
will be held automatically, pro
viding one nation so moves to
bring it about, according to the
Charter of the United Nations.
There is no doubt that world
peace is the great concern of
our age. Also there is no doubt
that we can only achieve it
through international under
standing. Furthermore, it is
through the United Nations that
this all-important objective may
be realized. The time to act
is now. Think about the United
Nations. Think about its prob
lews. Think how tt can be im
proved. Join the United Nations
Club here on campus to discuss
the issues which we face to
day, and learn how they can
be met in order to achieve a
just and lasting peace. If mil
lions of Uvea are to be saved,
the time to act is now, not ten
years or fifty years from now.

-Drew Pearson-
The Washington Merry-Go-Round
WASHINGTON Pres i d e n t
Truman has fairtv definite ideas
as to what he wants to do when
he leaves the White House, but
they may be ham pared by prob
lems st home.
The chief thing he hankers
for after January 20 is a leisu
rely trip around the world. He
wants to go to Europe and return
the visit of the heads of states
who have aaUed'OD hinvalso sx
tend the coronation of Britain's
new Queen Elizabeth on June
S.
However, there are a couple
of complications. One is the
health of his 90-year-old
mother-in-law, Mrs. David Wal
lace. The public hasn't generally
realized it, but Ifnv Wallace has
been living w ta the President
and Mrs. Trumaa during most of
their sojourn in the White
House, and lbs. Truman has
been quite firm that she would
not leave her mother for a long
trip out of the United States as
long as ahe Is in poor health.
Another, though lesser, com
plication is finances. The Presi
dent has not bees able to ac
quire any monetary backlog dur
ing his seven years in office, and
some way will have to be found
to finance the trip
One or two embassies have al
ready discussed whether he
could be entertained as an offi
cial visitor at the expense of
their governments, even though
by that time he will have lost
his official status.
Mr. Truman wants to visit
India, Japan, and various Asiatic
countries and some considera
tion has been given to the idea
of his making a series of
speeches on the peaceful goals
of the American people.
There has been so much Rus
sian propaganda to the contrary,
abetted in part by rash state
ments by American generals,
that a good part of the world
is sold on the idea that the
United States wants war. State
Department officials believe
that a man of Mr. Truman's
simplicity Vnd directness might
carry considerable impact in
nullifying this propaganda. They
have even been considering the
idea of his making a whistle
stop tour abroad in favor of
peace.
The President has also told
friends that after his trio he
would like to do some lecturing
at a university and some writing
on history. If so, he would fol
low the precedent of William
Howard Taft, who became pro
fessor of law st Yale after he
left the White House
Hints have also been uiuuped
around the capital that Truman
should be appointed a delegate
to the United Nations.
Here's what some of the Tru
man cabinet members are going
to do, come January 20.
Dean Acheson will go bark to
his law firm. Financially hard
up, he might have retired earlier
except that he was under fire
. . . President Truman has pro
mised his Secretary of the
Treasury, John Snyder, to help
find him a job. Snyder was of
fered a job with the Bank of
America four years ago, but
turned it down . . . Secretary of
Labor Ma uric- Tobin will re
turn to his Boston law practice,
perhaps enter politics again . . .
Secretary of Commerce Chartes
Sawyer is returning to Cincin
nati. He had planned some time
ago to resign from the cmbtnet

Campus Cinderallas
Editor:
Perhaps the only credit we
may give these seemingly "frus
trated coeds" for their journal
istic effort in approaching their
important problem, is a pseudo
poetic genius.
Actually, the primary reason
why "SO percent" of the coeds
are "left high and dry" on a
German week end is the time
element. Generally, after a
dance, dates wiil come back to
a fraternity house for breakfast
lasting from 1 a.m. until 1:30
am. Coeds must be placed un
der lock and key at 2 am, thus
creating quite some friction.
Furthermore, the parties at
the respective fraternity bouses
do not begin until two or after,
thereby placing a damper on
any aspirant who desires to date
the "frustrated M percent."
The drinking element, con
trary to the opinion of our coed
friends, remains as a seooendary
problem.
We cannot change the Uni
versity's ruling so the supposed
"90 percent" win have to bear
with us this week end. We'll
see you around the T Court on
Monday.
