the year Freeman an-
nounced thar^evaluation sheets

eral student opinions about

dent Committee on Educational
Policy he will use this material

committee.

tee is going to get up a subcom-
mittee in each department to re-
ceive advice from majors in that
area. During second semester

CLARKE gave a report from
the Professor Pamphlet Commit-
tee. The June issue of the Rice
Report, usually sent only to par-
ents, will also be sent to all in-
coming freshmen. Attached to it

committee is to acquaint the stu-

American Political Legacy
Is Pluralism, Limited fiovt.
By EDDIE PRICE
Dr. Hans J. Morgenthau of the
University of Chicago spoge to
a Hamman Hall audience Mon-
day night on the need to reform-
ulate the principles of the Amer-
ican polity—to abstract the per-
ennial political truths from our
traditions and to apply those
truths to the problems of today.
DR. MORGENTHAU'S lecture,
concluding the series on the
American Political Tradition, was
on "The American Political Leg-
acy." He began by asking whe-
ther a distinct American legacy
actually exists, and answered
those who have charged that it
doesn't by affirming the unique
quality of the American experi-
ment, to which many other na-
tions have looked as a model for
their own governments.

Becoming a specialist
Experienced girl watchers, for whom routine watching
has lost some of its excitement, often become specialists.
(This is definitely not recommended for beginners. How-
ever, it may be practiced as a change-of-pace by more
advanced students.) They may spend an entire field trip
concentrating on one part of a girl. This tends to step up

beautiful. For Sample, if you decide to specialize in
knees, you watch only beautiful knees. (The doorman
above appears to be an ankle specialist.) Whatever your
watching specialty, make sure your smoking specialty is

- Two distinct traditions set the
American legacy apart from that
of any other governmental sys-
tem: the concept of a govern-
ment limited by the people, and
the pluralism of many different
interests and philosophies com-
peting in the "marketplace of
political ideas."
SEEMING almost diminutive
next to the towering Dr. Nelson,
Dr. Morgenthau spoke with a
fluency and cogency that were not
marred by his unmistakeable Ger-
man accent.
Moving from the domestic leg-
acies of the American political
tradition to the history of our
foreign policy, Dr. Morgenthau
recalled the geographical acci-
dent of physical isolation from
hostile powers that enabled the
United States to pursue a more
or less abstentionist foreign pol-
icy until the First World War
and throughout the '20's and
'30's.
BUT SINCE the Second World
War, America has realized that
revolutions in communication and
transportation have rendered iso-
lation obsolete. Our generation
today is face to face with the tre-
mendous task of reformulating
American foreign policy, while
preserving our traditional prin-
ciples of equality in freedom.
Another paradox of the present
era is the misunderstanding of
the menacing of democracy. The
Anglo-American concept has al-
ways been one of restrained gov-
ernment—of leadership respon-
dent to a higher law. But step by
step we are accepting the French
Jacobin ideal of majority rule.
THIS ATTITUDE is reflected
in our government's reliance on
public opinion polls in making
policy decisions. The trouble with
this is that public opinion does
not spring up from the man on
the street—it is created, either
by the President or by his oppon-
ents. This means that the presi-
dent either leads absolutely or is
completely stymied.
At the end of the lecture, Dr.
Nelson announced plans for a new
series of lectures on the European
Political Tradition, to be held
next spring. The quality of this
year's series indicates that the
new series should be one of the
highlights of the Semi-Centen-
nial Celebration.
