Dr. C. L. Hsia, advisor to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Sir Gerald Campbell, Minister and special assistant to the British Ambassador, and Wal- ter Duranty, former correspondent in the Soviet Union, addressed the afternoon session on “What Hope for the World Participation in Building an Enduring Peace?” Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt, William C. Bullitt, Justice Owen J. Roberts and Governor Harold Stassen spoke to the evening meeting on “What Hope for American Parti- cipation in Building an sree Peace?” Dr. Hsia said that “China is will- ing and eager to play her part” in building a lasting peace. Among China’s post-war aims, he said, was its desire for a “fundamental change in the position in those parts of eastern Asia that have hitherto been colonies of western empires.” The bulk of Sir Gerald Camp- bell’s speech was devoted to a dem- onstration that “British Imperial- ism” had “vanished 40 to 70 years ago.” Sir Gerald reiterated Sec- retary Hull’s four propositions for the conduct of the United Nations after the war in order to imple- Continued on Page Three Ellis, Lucas, Blakely, Sprague to Compete For Undergrad Honor The Junior Class has nominated Ann Sprague, Mary Ellis, Diana Lucas, and Mary Stuart Blakely as candidates for the vice-presi- dency of the Undergraduate Asso- ciation.

He contrasted the Christian ing spiritual progress, with the at- tte of the modern man towards his ow& past. History is now con- sidered as a human occurrence, or as a casual connection reducible to sociological and economic factors. This view of history puts respon- sibility on the modern man and his power to change events. The rationalistic philosophies, said Dr. Frank, undermined the pure Christian concept of history, and, their critical investigations and interpretations diametrically oppose the concept of long-devel- oping religious progress. It is re- ligion, he stated, that has inspired the great historians to seek histor- ic truth. Dr. Frank referred to periods of mythology occurring early in civilizations which could only be interpretated in the light of relig- ion. These are essential to an un- derstanding of later historic de- velopments. One of the points which Dr. Frank emphasized was that no his- torian will acknowledge that his- torical reality shows signs of di- vine progress. The critical mo- ment comes when man is con- fronted with catastrophe and asks —What progress is there? The modern historian records such ca- tastrophe as Fate or tragedy, but the religious man would see Provi- dence in this Fate. Una Casa Espanola Proposed Next Year The rumor of a Spanish House on campus next year has become a fact. Although not entirely defi- nite, the plans for a third lan- guage house need only minor ad- justments. The existence of a Spanish House depends on the number of people who would be interested in living there. It is not restricted to Spanish majors exclusively. Any- one with a thorough basic knowl- edge of the language will be ad- mitted. Where the Spanish House will be is as yet undecided. It will be on campus, that is certain. It will not be on Faculty Row, as rumor has suggested. The present ar- rangement is to have it in one of the halls, the choice falling to that hall which would best combine the proper amount of seclusion with the best kitchen facilities. Applicants .for entrance to the Spanish House aré urged to see sentative to Self-Government and was in the Choir.

Chang Demonstrates Painting Techniques For Chinese Exhibit Deanery, March 12.—Professor Chang Shu-Chi, one of China’s foremost artists, gave a demon- stration of his country’s technique of painting at a tea given by the Chinese Scholarships Committee and the History of Art Depart- ment. Chinese art stresses rapid, sure brushwork, which Professor Chang illustrated with birds, flow- ers and fish. This customary sub- ject matter dates back to Ming times. Dr. Chang is.a representa- tive of the modern adaption of the ancient tradition. Professor Chang’s speciality is the technique of painting three or four colors in one brush stroke. Apparently the artist spends more time preparing his brushes than in the actual composition, and, in this way, he achieves the amazing ef- fect of creating varied shades and colors in one swift movement of Continued on Tage Fou Hot Debates Occupy Stone, Alliance Head Jessie Stone dropped her copy of Milton’s prose work and her hard-boiled egg sandwich and flew to the phone. Shrieking at the news of election as War Alliance President, Jessie said, “I won’t be able to study for the rest of the evening.” Despite the difficulties of con- ducting an interview over the phone, what with the operator’s constant demands for another nickel, Jessie managed to air her ideas on what the War Alliance will do in 1943-’44. “We want to continue and intensify the practi- cal war work’ that has been done and to involve more students in the Alliance’s activities.” The Al- TTiancée aims~*to—create--more...con- |}. sciousness and interest in the problems concerning the war and the organization of a post-war world.

Miss Webster will speak in Goodhart at 8:30 on March 20. Miss Webster became distin- guished in the United States by her production o1 Richard II with Maurice Evans in New York in 1937. This play, scarcely known to American audiences, had a long- er run than any other previous production of it. This was fol- lowed by Henry VI, Part 1, also with Mr. Evans, which opened in Philadelphia in 1937. light of her career was the pro- duction of the first complete Hamlet given in America. Last year saw her production of Twelfth Night starring Helen Hayes and a trial one of Othello with Paul Robeson given at Prince- ton and Cambridge in August. Othello was received with great enthusiasm and it is hoped it will go on tour this spring. As the daughter of Ben Webster and Dame May Whitty, Miss Web- ster comes from an old theatrical family. She started as an actress in England with the Ben Greet Com- pany and at the Old Vic Theater in London, before coming to America.

Under the new plan, all students returning to their halls after 10:30 p.m. will first go to a central warden’s office to sign in and then be let into their halls by the night watchman. The purpose of the system is to allevi- ate the duties of the wardens. The central office will be -in Room D, Taylor. Students will go immediately there on returning to college after 10:30 and wait until the watchman takes them in groups to their respective halls. It is expected that he will make three tours every half hour. Escorts must leave girls at Taylor and not go to the halls. The road in front of Taylor will be opened for the convenience of those travelling by car or taxi. At 10:20 p.m. every evening, signing-out books will be taken to Taylor.
