Faris Decries Mandate As Arab Government
Although the Arab peoples were prepared for democracy and self-rule after the first World War, the period from 1919 to 1939 for this area was characterized by "government without consent of the people," Dr. Nabih Amin Faris said last night in the tenth of his lectures entitled "The Arab World Today."

Primary in the development of rule by mandate in the Arab nations were Britain and France, Dr. Faris said.
"It was not the people themselves or their culture that led the British and French to bring this about; it was the foreign policy of these countries, which at times assumed almost an impersonal role in carrying out its objectives," he said.
Dr. Faris said the official purpose of a mandate, according to principles advocated by President Woodrow Wilson, was to educate the people of the country to eventually govern themselves. However, the real purpose of the mandate, as he quoted it from Lord Curzon in a speech to the English House of Lords, was to "apportion conquered territories among the victor nations."
This latter objective was carried out, Dr. Faris said, in Palestine and Iraq by the British, and in Syria and Lebanon by the French. In Iraq, despite a desire by the people for a republican form of government following World War I. The British prepared the way for the establishment of a monarchy, he said.
In Egypt, preliminary efforts by the Arabs to negotiate with London for an independent government met with stalling and postponement, he said, which eventually led to rioting and violence on the part of the Arabs. In one case this was followed by reprisals by the British which had little to do with the incident, the assassination of a British official.
"Although many of these countries expressed a desire for independence, their second choice was to be under a U.S. mandate," Dr Faris said.
During the question session that followed the lecture, Dr. Faris was asked what in his opinion, would have been the result of an acceptance of a mandate by the U.S. He replied that if the U.S. could have followed the principles envisioned by President Woodrow Wilson, the rule of the country would have been just as good, if not better, than that of the Philippine islands.
The Arab peoples at that time had a far greater background of government and culture than did the Philippine people at the beginning of rule by the U.S.," he said.
The United States Congress appropriated more than $30,000,000 for fiscal years 1950-1953 to pay for engineering, signal and transportation supplies and equipment used in Korean rehabilitation.
There are actually 1,700 islands in the so-called Thousand Islands group on the New York-Canadian border.
Pakistan Denies Russian Charge
Karachi, Pakistan — (U.P.)—Pakistan today denied Russia's charge that she has offered military bases to the U.S., but bluntly warned Russia and India against meddling in Pakistan's foreign affairs.
Premier Mohammed Ali said in a nationwide broadcast that "there never has been any question at any time of offering bases in Pakistan to any foreign country." The reports about U.S. bases have been denied also in Washington.
Premier Ali was answering Indian Premier Jawaharlal Nehru who twice in the past two weeks has voiced "intense concern" over reports of a Pakistan-United States alliance. On Monday, the Russians delivered a blunt demand that Pakistan repudiate reports that the bases would be built.
"Quite apart from this aspect of the matter which surprises me particularly is that people in India should talk as though it was their business to decide how Pakistan should conduct her foreign relations," Mr. Ali added in his speech. "Whatever decisions we may take in the matter of an ideological alliance, will be taken by us as a fully sovereign power."
Georga to Vote on Segregation Issue
Atlanta — (U.P.)— Georgians will vote next November on a constitutional amendment permitting the state to transfer the public school system to "private" operation should the U.S. Supreme Court rule against school segregation.
The Georgia Senate yesterday passed both of Gov. Herman Talmadge's pro-segregation proposals which already had House approval They are:
1. A proposed constitutional amendment to authorize the state to grant funds to private citizens for educational purposes. The people will vote on this in November, 1954.
2. A resolution creating a 21-member commission to study problems connected with any transfer of the school system.
Retarded Readers Article Published
Teachers in the public schools will now find it relatively easy to locate suitable books for retarded readers, as a result of research just completed at the University.
Cloy S. Hobson and Oscar M. Haugh, professors of education, recently finished a survey and analysis of nearly 700 books distributed by 29 different publishers in the United States. The findings form the basis of an article, "Materials for the Retarded Reader," appearing in the University's fall bulletin of education.

VACATION HARD ON YOUR WARDROBE?
December party time is here. You want to look your best, so send your suits, formals and party dresses to ACME for quick renovation.
"Sweat bees are being studied more intensely around Lawrence than anywhere else in the world, thanks to a National Science Foundation grant," Dr. Charles Michener, chairman of the entomology department told members of Sigma Xi, honorary science society, recently.
Sweat Bees Being Studied
The entomologist spoke on "The Social Behavior of Bees," and extended his talk to include social insects. This definition includes all insects "living in family groups or colonies in which parents survive to co-operate with mature progeny, with resulting division of labor." Man, he explained, is the only social animal by this definition.
ACME BACHELOR LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANERS 1111 Mass. Phone 646
One of the walls in the third floor hall will be painted gray, and the other will be painted "pop corn"
A complete redecoration job will be done by painters from the building and grounds department. All classrooms and the main hall in the design department will be repainted.
Redesigning the design department is now underway, and the west end of the Strong hall third floor may be quite colorful when it's all over, judging from the variety of shades of paint which will be used.
Third Floor of Strong Gets Colorful Re-doing
By marking insect specimens, entomologists obtain most of their knowledge of individual movements and behavior. The sweat bees have thus been painted with small brushes to facilitate study.
"Transmission of knowledge in man." Dr. Michener concluded, "has supplemented heredity." In the case of insects, information learned by one individual dies with it. "Man can pass on his culture intact, or a new culture may be substituted in only a generation or two."
In the main office the new colors will be gray on three walls and white gold (yellow) on the other.
Strong 316 will be re-deated in two shades of gray. Strong 318 will be decorated in gray and yellow, and Strong 328 will be painted a cocoa brown shade.
yellow, says George Long, painting foreman. The same walls were formerly decorated in two shades of light green.
Sculpture rooms in the design department will be redecorated in yellow. The ceramics room will have walls and woodwork painted a Vienna rose shade, the same color which will be used in the glaze room and in the clay room.
Mr. Long said University painters will be able to complete the job in approximately two weeks. He said a crew of four or five will be on the job in two shifts.
All ceilings in the department will be painted a conservative white, but the doors will be painted French rose, a dark shade of red.
"Specific sky," a shade of blue, will be used for the kiln room used for pottery-making. Three walls in the plaster room will be painted blue, the fourth wall and the woodwork will be painted Vienna rose.
Downstairs, Strong 8-C will be painted gray to complete the new color scheme for the design department.
