Free Man Menaced Says de Rochefort
Communism with its power and expansionist designs is a threat to every free individual in the world, Nicholas de Rochefort, professor of political science at Georgetown university, told University students Monday.
"The individual human being is nothing, the collectivity is everything in Russia. Our democracy stems from Christianity; it takes the individual as the foundation of Society," he said.
"Any communist in the world is a supporter of Moscow," he said. The communist whether he be in Italy, France, or Russia has the designs of Moscow foremost in their work. These communists vote as Russia wants them to, not in the interest of their countries.
Russian expansionism while active in the West has been static in the East. "As soon as the Chinese and Korean question is solved, then we will have to get ready in Europe," he said.
When asked if he thought war would come in 1951, Professor de Rochefort answered, "I don't think Russia will strike unless there is a misunderstanding or an incident."
"Capitalism must be replaced by communism. It is the essence of communism to remain expansionist, As long as any capitalistic country exists, the struggle will be continued," he said.
When asked about the present debate on sending troops to Europe he replied, "Europe will willingly help Eisenhower. The average European has faith in the United Nations, but that is not enough. The debate in Congress is very disheartening to the European. It is to the advantage of the United States to send its troops."
He also said that the Catholic church was an important instrument in keeping communism at a minimum. "... especially in Italy—after the Pope condemned communism officially, many Italians left the communist party."
Speaking on communism in the United States he said, "Democratic institutions will not be overthrown for democracy is too strong. In other countries where democracy is not so strong, there is real danger."
Instructor Wants To Finish Article
Whoever "inadvertently removed" the January 1951 issue of the Philosophical Review Journal from the shelves in the Education reading room of Watson library, is asked to please return it.
Robert Sternfeld, instructor in philosophy, is unable to finish an article in the magazine, which he started reading before the publication was "removed" about a week ago. Others, too, might like to read the magazine.
Emporia Rotary Hears Marvin
The American press has the responsibility of telling the public the truth about public affairs, Dean Burton W. Marvin of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, told the Emporia Rotary club today.
The man of the street has to help the press in performing that function. Dean Marvin continued.
He said the individual citizen must ask himself "Do I know what I am talking about?" before sounding off on such subjects as the China situation, Secretary Acheson and Senator McCarthy.
This attitude, he said, would encourage the press to do a better job of digging beneath the surface. He said that the desire to know facts would cause the citizen to buy papers to learn facts.
Newspapers must sell to stay in business, he said, and to a great extent they must contain what the reader wants and will buy from day to day.
Dean Marvin told of innovations in courses at the School of Journalism designed to force the student to do research on issues of the day before expressing opinions on them. This is being done particularly in the course in editorial writing, he said.
Counselors Meet Here On March 1,2
The sixth annual Big Seven Conference of Counseling Bureaus will be held March 1-2 at the University, it was announced today by Dr. Gordon Collister, director of the guidance bureau.
There will be no formal program. The two days will be given to "shop talk" at the various staff levels. A review of new procedures and re-creation of the training created by expansion of military forces will take much of the time.
All seven member schools will be represented by several members of the counseling staffs, Dr. Collister said.
Dr. A. H. Turney, who retired as director of the KU. bureau last summer, originated the idea for the then Big Six conference of counselors.
Violinist Exhibits Skill, Rugged Playing' In Recital
By STANFORD E. LEHMBERG
Tossy Spivakovsky, violinist, exhibited boundless technique and rugged playing in his recital Monday evening.
Schubert's "Duo in A" was the appetizer. Mr. Spivakovsky's unrestrained playing seemed a bit crude in Schubert's naive music, but the general effect was pleasing.
It was in the Bach "Chaconne" for unaccompanied violin that Mr. Spivakovsky really hit stride. In his full-toned, vigorous performance he easily disposed of fiercely difficult double-stop and arpeggio passages.
Debusy's "Sonate" followed the intermission. Mr. Spivakovsky's reading lacked some of the sheen and glow that Debussy's works demand, but was not without charm. In the "Roumanian Dances" by ela Baruk, Mr. Spivakovsky found his native idiom. The four roughhewn gypsy fragments were a total success.
The 12 variations of Paganiin's "Caprice No. 24" for viei'in alone were ample testimony to the artist's complete mastery of his instrument.
The unusually small size of the audience did not prevent vociferous applause. In answer Mr. Spivakovsky presented three encores: Ravel's "Habanaer," an ultra-realistic performance of "The Flight of the Bumblebee" by Rimsky-Korsakov, and Sarasate's "Carmen Fantasy," a spicy reworking of the themes from Bizet's opera.
if more testimony was needed after the Bach "Chaconne". A ringing performance of Sarasate's "Introduction and Tarantelle," almost an example of prepetual motion, closed the program.
Max Lanner's piano accompaintments were perfectly co-ordinated, but occasionally harsh in tone quality.
Two Students Win Free Trip To St. Louis
Two seniors in the School of Journalism have been named winners of expense-paid trips to St. Louis as guests of the St. Louis Advertising club.
They are Virginia Coppedge and James E. Lowther. Dean Burton W. Marvin said they were chosen by the faculty as the best all-round senior man and woman in the advertising major sequence. Their prize is known as the "Week in St. Louis award."
Miss Coppedge and Lowther will spend Monday, March 12 through
Virginia Coppedge - James Lowther
Friday, Marden ID in St. Louis, Eimer F. Beth, professor of journalism, and Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism will each spend time in St. Louis during the week. Similar groups from the Universities of Iowa, Missouri and Illinois and from St. Louis and Washington universities will participate.
On-the-grounds study of the various phases of the advertising business will be the program. Students will visit newspapers, radio and TV stations, advertising agencies, department stores, printers, publishers and other graphic arts production facilities. Leaders in the advertising profession will direct panel discussions.
This will be the sixth year for the program and the fifth in which the K.U. School of Journalism has been recognized through an invitation.
K-State College Reviews Scandal
Kansas State college will go slow in formulating any policies regarding the current college basketball scandal, Dr. James A. McCain, president, said recently.
"We will wait until all the facts are in before we take any action toward games in Madison Square Garden or the prevention of any future scandals," Dr. McCain said.
The K-State president has directed the athletic committee of the college to review the athletic policies in light of the bribe scandal. Kansas State's team played Long Island university in December and were defeated 60-59. Three L.I.U. players are now charged with accepting bribes to hold down the Long Island score in the game.
Wilson To Salina Engineers' Meet
Are schools producing the right kind of engineers? Dr. Donald G. Wilson, professor of electrical engineering, answered this question at the annual convention of Kansas Society of Professional Engineers in Salina Feb. 24.
Dr. Wilson spoke at a symposium on engineering education. The society is a member of the National Society of Professional Engineers. Leading engineers and educators throughout Kansas will attend the convention.

Washington—(U.P.)—No American ever again can be elected president for more than two terms or serve for more than 10 years, unless President Truman runs and wins in 1952.
For all practical purposes, that limitation became effective when Nevada ratified the 22nd constitutional amendment at 7:30 p.m. E.S.T. Monday. That was 30 minutes after Utah ratified and cleared the way for Nevada to put it over the top. The amendment now has been adopted by 36 states—the three-fourths necessary to change the constitution.
