World Has Had Three Chances Berle Says
The world has had three chances to choose ideologies, Adolf A. Berle, Jr., told 300 persons in the final Judge Nelson Timothy Stephens lecture April 17.
The Making of Homo In the fight between "king states" and liberalism, people gradually realized their right to participate in politics and government and "not to be sold into slavery," Professor Berle said.
ture April 11.
The associate professor of law from Columbia university spoke on "The Making of Actual Peace."
The world first had a chance to choose a universal ideology at Vienna in 1848, when the "king states" defeated liberalism at the peace conference, the speaker said. The people soon revolted after a temporary period of peace.
The second chance occurred also in 1848, when liberalism gained force, Professor Berle said. Great Britain, France, and Italy chose liberal democracy and Austria and Germany decided upon "king states."
the stronger.
The speaker predicted that "liberalism will absorb communism," although communistic ideologies will survive even when "Russian imperialist drives are crushed."
A basis of equality formed the battleground for the third chance—at the Versailles peace conference of 1918. Political liberalism and communism clashed, leaving liberalism the stronger.
Professor Berle asserted that political scientists should "reduce politics to something rational. When the rules of social science are uncovered, we can gain control over our social life."

Upon the Union.

Albeneri Trio Fuses Ideas; Gains Tonal Balance, Unity
Members of the queen's court were Ann Cowger, University of Kansas; Lois Gillett, Nebraska university; Martha Miller, Kansas State college; and Mary LeFlore, Oklahoma university.
The program ended with a dance April 17 sponsored by the All Student Council Relays committee at the Union ballroom, Jack Moorhead, master of ceremonies, made the final presentation of the coeds.

Opening with Haydn's G Major Trio, they proved the exception to this season's concert by presenting a first number with finesse of interpretation. Coherence and musicianship were present in the first phrases played. The trio played them with clarity and decision.
Ise Says KU'Free, Most Schools Not
"Chancellors at Kansas University always have been fair about the subject of academic freedom," Dr. John Ise, professor of economics, told the Unitarian Liberal club Sunday night.
By CRYSTAL CHITTENDFN
"The Association of University Professors desires that a man be free 'within the scope of his competency'. Dr. Ise continued. "There are two ways of dealing with the problem of professors who would enjoy academic freedom, either choose men with views which are all right, or fire the man after he's said something wrong."
The Albeneri Trio, playing in Frank Strong auditorium Sunday afternoon, proved that three men can make a successful team. The trio of Alexander Schneider, violin, Benar Heifetz, cello, and Erich Kahn, piano, in their third season, have learned how to blend personalities and fuse ideas of interpretation as though they were one musician. The effect was one of tonal balance and unity.
"The chancellor really has a hard job warding off all the complaints that come to him after a professor has spoken on a controversial matter." he said.
Dr. He added that Cornell has the most democratic faculty of all the schools in the country, but that in four-fifths of the universities there is no academic freedom.
To contrast Haydn's classical music with its perfection of arrangement material they next chose Ravel's A
The trio will present the trios of Brahms, Mozart, and Beethoven at 8 p.m. tonight.
Minor Trio with its impressionistic atmosphere. The opening movement was definitely modern. With the effects of false harmonics, pizzicato, muted violin and cello without the piano in some phrases, the musicians carried the number to a brilliant finale.
For an effective climax, the trio closed the program by playing Schubert's melodious B flat Major Trio. The audience was reluctant to let them go.

pre-medical student. "I am in favor of an extensive and sensible plan of assistance to the countries of Europe as the best bulwark against the spread of Communism." Martin said.
He further stated that "It is imperative that while we do all we can to insure the success of the United Nations, we also build up our defenses to insure our own security."
Martin entered active military service after being graduated from high school in 1940, and served with the field artillery of the 35th division in Alaska.
