Hey You!
"The Arab Awakening" was the title of Dr. Faris' talk. He described the pride of the Arabs in their history and heritage after being suppressed by the Ottoman empire for about 300 years.
"Conditions were dormant in the Arab world of 1800," Dr. Faris said.
At this time, the French emperor Napoleon invaded the territory and occupied it for five years in an effort to cut off British supply routes to India.

This occupation brought the first traces of Western culture to the Arabs, including the first printing press.
From this meager beginning, the end of isolation and the beginning of "westernization" started with the introduction of an army system and schools, he said.
Dr. Faris said American missionaries were the first to realize the significance of this area and to start a constructive program there. American Protestants in 1817, followed by French Jesuits, began opening schools and reviving the Arab's own historical pride.

"The westerners sought to create a sense of nationalism, emphasizing Arab and passing over Moslem," Dr. Faris said.
The efforts of these missionaries led to the translation of the Arab Bible, the creation of learned educational societies and a revival of Arabic as a pure language, he said.
German Scientist to Speak
This was successful until the turn of the 20th century, when the Hamidian period and the Young Turks' revolt resulted in a revival of Pan-Islamism as a means to face the growing encroachment of the West, he said.

KU entries at K-State Saturday will be John Eland and Gary Sick, college freshmen; William Means, business senior, and John Fields, college junior; Mary, Ann Curtis fine arts sophomore, and Robert Bush, college freshman; and Dennis Knight and Bob Kimball, college freshmen.
On Nov. 19, Knight and Robert Brown, college freshmen, will debate against Missouri at Columbia on the high school question. William Crews, business senior, and Dick Sheldon, college senior, will debate at the University of Texas Nov. 20-21.
Six KU teams will enter a debate tournament at Emporia State college Nov. 21, and four other teams will debate at a tournament at the University of Iowa Dec. 4.

directions in considering the United Nations," he said. "At one end is the enthusiastic emotional group which says we must live in peace. At the end of the war many people saw the United Nations as a panacea to all of our problems but it was inevitable when the UN was formed that it would have limitations.

"At the other end are the disillusioned enthusiasts, the thoughtful people who believe it is unsound for the United States to cooperate except in self-interest, the always present fragment of people which believes everything is going downhill, and the last small group of professional patriots whose pens and minds are for sale." Dr. Murphy said.
Miss Rose Gieseman, Manager
"On Monday, the professional patriots are Communists and by Friday may be Fascists. This group is particularly dangerous because it preys on the insecurity of honest, decent people," he said.

"Excesses are committed in both $^{\textcircled{1}}$."
"It must be made clear what the UN can do. It is a much slower process than people realize."
"People should realize that the United Nations isn't a persecution for world peace but has weaknesses and limitations," Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said at the first meeting of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations yesterday.

Dr. Murphy stressed the importance of specialized groups in the United Nations, such as the Health Service which he said "has provided the know-how to help hundreds of people to a higher standard of living."
"We should recognize that supernationalism would lead to restriction on every level of the things for which our country was founded."
"The UN is a constant reminder to the American people of the foolishness of blind, unreasoning nationalism. Some set up a mold and say, 'this is an American'; but our country was set up by men who wanted to escape conformity,' he said.
Before the chancellor spoke Herbert Horowitz, college senior, explained the purpose of the CCUN and a film "Boundary Lines," was shown.
