It is necessary, Dr. Chakravarty said, to "shift ones vantage point which gives a better and broader view of the situation."
Chakravarty Urges Realism In Treating World Problems
India finds herself as a negotiator; she has been flung into that position. Her independence is one reason for this. Another factor is her participation in the United Nations, he explained.
Being able to travel quickly from one place to another does not bring the people of the world together, Dr. Amiya Chakravarty, a former advisor to India's United Nations delegation, said Tuesday night.
The philosophy of the development of tolerance is due to India's being a clearance house for races and nations. She was forced from early history to be so. India has been built up through the human cultures of various peoples and nations, Dr. Chakravarty said.
Absorption is needed to bring the reality of countries' problems to light, Chakravartay said in his opening lecture in Strong auditorium on "Upsurge in Asia," a one-hour course been offered this fall.
"The United Nations exposes people to continental consciousness." The organization allows nations to meet, know, discuss, and "look at problems at a slightly different slant," he said.
Imperialism began in Asia and Africa as piracy on the seas. The Japanese nationalism, which invaded Asia, is as deadly as any known, he said.
The picture of Asia is difficult. So many forces are active in Asia that it cannot be described as a land mass or a group of islands, he explained.
Americans would not find it difficult to understand continental consciousness, Dr. Chakravarty said Due to the factor of assimilation there is something in common with the American way of life in all countries.
"We haven't made ourselves aware of the deep currents which are seething in Asia." People must understand the type of historic movement that has taken place in Asia.
In Asia, as well as in America people have been free in religion and race, he continued. The tradition of tolerance has not been given up.
Dr. Chakravarty concluded his speech by saying, "The independence of India has increased, rather than decreased, her contacts with the outside. India today is not reviving isolationism, but rather reviving her
Openings are still available for positions in the University Marching band and Concert orchestra, Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, announced today. One hundred seventeen men and women have already been accepted.
The band needs two trombones and four clarinets, and they may be retained for the full season. Anyone interested in these positions should see Professor Wiley at his office, 9 Hoch auditorium before Friday. The Concert band needs two double reeds, one bass and one alto saxophone.
Future lectures will be held on Tuesday nights throughout the semester. They will cover three fields: 1. The general trend of world affairs. 2. Broad characteristics which are still describable as Asian. 3. Specification of problems according to regions.
The wind section of the orchestra is filled, but openings in the string section are available for violin, viola, cello, and string bass. The first rehearsal will be Thursday night, and anyone interested should report immediately.
Professor Wiley anticipates a splendid band and orchestra this year, and strongly urges everyone to take part.

Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism, holds some sort of record for the summer, and if it isn't, it should be.
He worked for three newspapers in six weeks, two of them at the same time, and all on hurry calls.
Professor Would, Could, And Did Work For Three Papers In Six Weeks
Came the end of August and dreams of "at least a short vacation." On the Saturday afternoon of his last day on the Times, Mr. Telfel received a third call, this one from Jim Reed, executive editor of the Topeka Daily Capital. Would Mr. Telfel like to work on the Capital for two weeks as a copyreader? Mr. Telfel would.
When summer school was over he received a call from Elwood Hobbs, state editor of the Kansas City Star. Would Mr. Telfel like to cover Lawrence and K.U. for the Star for the rest of the summer? Mr. Telfel would.
The next call came from Bob Embleton, managing editor of the Leavenworth Times. Would Mr. Telfel like to take over the news editorship of the Times, open because Charles G. Pearson, instructor in journalism working there, had to enter the hospital? Mr. Telfel would. And for the following week he took over the managing editorship, too, when Mr. Embleton went on vacation.
The toughest part of the triple relief marathon, Mr. Telfel said, was "to cover Lawrence and K.U. from Leavenworth." However, he added, "with the help of Mrs. Telfel and Tom Yoe," he managed.

Kansas' Dry Spell To End Late Today
The fair weather has lasted since Sept. 15. No moisture has been reported anywhere in the state during that time.
Most Kansas rivers, now well below their banks, are capable of handling substantial rains without overflow, the weather bureau said. The Kansas river is running from one-half to two-thirds bank-full.
Kansas' longest dry period in two months will probably end late today. weathermen said.
Temperatures over the state in the last 24 hours ranged from 47 to 85 degrees with the extremes both reported at Goodland. Readings Tuesday were mostly in the 80's.

ROTC Units Open Again
From 75 to 100 more University students interested in enlisting in either Army or Air Force R.O.T.C. may now do so, according to a joint announcement this morning by Col. Edward F. Kumpe and Lt. Col. Lynn R. Moore.
Enrollment quotas have been suspended and all eligible students are now permitted to enroll in either of the R.O.T.C. units. This includes the students with other than freshman standing who originally were not permitted to enroll because of the quota limitations.
In removing the limitation, the units have opened the way for students with any classification to initially enroll in the R.O.T.C. of their choice, provided they have sufficient time available to complete the program.
The R.O.T.C. program normally takes four years to complete. However, consideration will be given to students desiring to complete the program in less time by carrying two R.O.T.C. courses simultaneously.
The extension of enrollment privileges will allow more students to gain deferment from the draft by virtue of their entry into one of the R.O.T.C. programs.
Students interested in enrolling should contact either the Army or Air Force R.O.T.C. office.
WEATHER
KANSAS: Considerable cloudiness through Thursday, few showers tonight or Thursday morning, mostly in north portion. Cooler north portion Thursday. Low tonight 50 northwest to 60 east and south; high Thursday 70's northwest to 80's southeast.
Mr. Malott had asked that the ceremonies be simple and "in keeping with the times."
Mr. Malott, Dr. Robert E. Cushman, professor of government at Cornell, and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey were the only speakers. Neal Dow Becker, chairman of the board of trustees, conducted the installation ceremonies as Cornell started its 83rd year with an enrollment of some 9,200 students.
In an address to the students and faculty, Mr. Malott called upon free education to "stand sponsor for a free world and lead our people to understand the price we must pay to maintain that freedom."
Mr. Malott said the long shadow of that empire looms over America today.
"We fear today the threat of armed aggression," he said. "So did ancient Rome . . . But as historians pointed out, that empire fell, not by force of arms but by the spiritual force of the people to the debilitating contagion that the government of Rome could do all things for all people."
If you do and your voice okays it, then you should take an active part in the University choral activities this year.
"Too many are asking our officials in Washington to do what our forefathers would have done gladly for themselves," he said. "Old ideas and initiative and thrus and integrity are disappearing. Government, like thrus and working itself around even more and more phases of our lives."
Do you like to sing?
Those who think they can't pass the required tryouts for any of those groups may still sing in the University chorus, for which no tryouts are necessary. Good voices are always in demand in this group, Clayton Krehbiel, director, said.
He said that unless a "new thinking comes to America, we will sink from a free republic to the welfare state, to the handout state to the police state."
The new president told students and faculty they must not put faith in mere mechanical skills, in mere wealth, or in government paternalism "else we will perish to our doom as has many a civilization before us."
Music Tryouts Held This Week
Students may tryout for the A Cappella choir and either the Men's or Women's Glee club.
Mr. Krebhiel, who will also direct the Women's Glee club, said Tuesday that approximately 125 men and women had enrolled for the one-hour credit given for the chorus. "We have no limitations or restrictions," he said, "and we will be happy to receive more members."
The chorus will present two major oratorio-type performances this year, the annual Christmas concert and the Music Week concert in May.
Interested students should be present at the next rehearsal, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
Tryouts for the A Cappella choir, under the direction of D. M. Swart-hout, professor of piano, will continue from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday and from 9 to 12 noon Saturday in 8A, Strong hall. One hour of full credit is given.
Men may tryout for the Men's Glee club in 132, Strong hall, from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday or Friday or from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday. Women's Glee club tryout hours are from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Friday of this week in 131, Strong hall.
