U.S. >n tpugh positionMorgenthau: watch Chinaas growing world power“If China gains economic wmost powerful country on earSunday night.He continued his speech onChina” stressing the great advan-t.ices the Asian nation would haveif technological advancement werecombined with its natural resmirces, especially manpower.Morgenthau, Albert A. Michel-M)n distiguished service professori f political science and modernhistory, has taught at many uni-\ ersities in both the United Statesand Europe, and has been a pro¬fessor here since 1943. He is espe-, tally known for his books on po¬litical science. Morgenthau’s talkwas sponsored by Hillel House asone of a series of lectures, butwas moved to Breasted Hall be¬muse of lack of space.“THE REIATIONS between theUS and China are simple,” Mor-penthau said. "We don’t recbgnizeChina. Nothing could be more sim¬ple than that. The only flaw isthat the Communist governmentof China exists — it flourishes.China is the most powerful nationon the Asian continent. Anyonetraveling on its south or west bor¬der can testify to the importanceit has,’1 he said.Contact with ChineseMorgenthau also emphasizedthe fact that, although we have noei>en dealings with China, we havebeen involved both in peaceful andbelligerent contact with themsince 1949. He cited the KoreanWar and the war in Vietnam.“Today in Vietnam we’re reallyfighting an extension of ChineseSG will sponsor o special pro-qrom tonight on the controversyover the site tor o proposed Lu-theron seminary.

The programwill be in Business East 106 ot7:30 pm. Both specific details ofthe present seminory plans, ondgeneral questions on the Univer¬sity's housing ond neighborhoodplans will be discussed.power in southeast Asia. If thisweren’t true, we wouldn’t be soactively involved in the civil warthere.”He added that our ambassador,first in Prague, then in Warsaw,has been holding negotiations withhis Chinese counterparts in thosecities since 1954, allegedly abouttwo Americans still held in cap¬tivity. According to Morgenthau,.these meetings are really attemptsto set up some basis on which wecan recognize China."The real question isn’t reallywhether we want to recognizeChina, but whether they uran tobe recognized by us. The answeris no, on present terms,” he said.MORGENTHAU MAIINTAINSthat it is much more advantageousto the Chinese if we don’tacknowledge them and our alliesdo, since this puts us in a “distres¬sing isolation. China is aware ofour embarrassing position. Shedelights in it,” he said.Might want other UN“For similar reasons, Chinamight not want to be in the Unti¬ed Nations,” Morgenthau said. Hepoints to the recent withdrawal ofIndonesia from the General As¬sembly as a sign that perhapsChina might want to form her ownrival international organization,especially because of the growingschism with Russia. “There areother young nations that are dis¬satisfied, and might want to join,”he added.“Although the relatively smallnuclear power of China makes lit¬tle impact on us, it has great sig¬nificance for Japan and otherAsian nations,” Morgenthau said.He stressed the fact that we hadeven less nuclear strength whenwe bombed Japan. Rememberingour moves in 3945, the Japanesecould be greatly moved if the Chi¬nese brandished their weapons."Our policy has been contain-V herewithal, it will become theth,” stated Hans Morgenthau“The U.S. Foreign Policy andment during the fifties, encour¬aged by our success against theRussians in Europe. We have triedto erect a number of militarystrong points—Pakistan, Thailand,South Viet Nam, Japan. This planhas worked not because of sound¬ness of policy, but because of Chi¬na’s military weakness. This won’tlast long. Although their militarystrength can’t compare to ours,they are terrifying on the main¬land.” Morgenthau continued.“WE ARE IN the presence ofan illusion, today, which arguesthat no great risk is involved inexpanding the war in South VietNam — that we can ‘escalate’without bringing in China,” hesaid.War in order to contain“If we want lo contain Chinain its present limits, we must goto war. and it can only be foughtby a mass army commensuratewith that which China can put intoaction,” he went on.Morgenthau also evaluated theposition which argues against ourpulling out of Viet Nam lest all ofAsia fall into Communist hands.“Historically, China has not con¬quered physically territories out¬side her frontiers. She relies onher unchallengeable predominancein Asia — similar to our positionin the Western Hemisphere,” hesaid.“A Communist government inViet Nam would not necessarilybe the cause of Communist gov¬ernments in all of Asia. For exam¬ple, both Indonesia and Pakistanare free from direct Chinese in¬fluence, but under pressure of po¬litical reality are betting on Chinainstead of the US,” he added.“The idea that the rise of Com¬munist governments in nationsanywhere in the world signifies anextension of the USSR or China isa residue of the thinking of 15years ago. There are differentkinds of Communism today —those subservient to Russia, thosesubservient to China, those tryingto play off the two big powersagainst each other (Rumania) andthose subservient to neither (Yu¬goslavia),” he said.“IT’S NOT IMPOSSIBLE thatgovernments will arise which callthemselves socialist, communist,or totalitarian but are not underthe power of the USSR or China.If we don’t deal with them, we willdrive them into the waiting armsof the Soviet Union or China,”Morgenthau stated.Vie! war cannot be won“I am convinced that the war inViet Nam cannot be won becauseit is a civil war in which the ma¬jority of population is either indif¬ferent or hostile to our cause. Youare dealing with people who walkaround as civilians by day and areready to kill you at night. I’m notimpressed by the fact that casual¬ties amount to only about 300 —I’m concerned with the effect awar like this is bound to have onthose who participate in it.”Nehru's daughterspeaks ThursdayMrs. Indira Gandhi, daugh¬ter of India’s late prime minis¬ter Jawaharlal Nehru, willspeak Thursday at 4 pm inBreasted Hall.Mrs. Gandi, who was at onetime mentioned among a longlist of people considered potentialsuccessors to Nehru, will speak on“India today,” probably coveringthat country’s position on foreignaffairs.She has been prominent in agroup of younger, moderate mem¬bers of India’s ruling Congressparty who are trying to “gingerup” the party, as they put it. Formany years, since her mother’sdeath in the late thirties, sheserved as the prime minister’sofficial hostess. How students get money from UC — port twoOne fourth of undergrads get loansby Paul BursteinWhat happens to the student who’s faced with rising tuition, rising rent, more expensivefood, who doesn’t have rich parents, can’t take a full-time job, and hasn’t been able to wina big scholarship?All is not hopeless; there is an answer.“STUDENT LOAN FUNDS ........serve a very real need,” empha¬sized Joseph Cotton, student loanofficer for the University. “Manystudents are able to proceed withtheir academic programs only be¬cause of money received from IheJoan funds.”More than $3 25,0 00 will beloaned to students in the Collegein the 1964-1905 academic year.Five hundred and seventy-four stu¬dents will receive loan aid, onehundred and seventy-four of themfirst year students. There are tworeasons for giving students loans,which average from $500-600 peryear, rather than scholarships, ac¬cording to Anthony Pallett, finan¬cial aid counselor in the office ofadmissions and aid.Limited scholarshipsThe first reason is that the Uni¬versity has only a limited amountof scholar ship money available, andmust supplement gift aid withmoney that will eventually be re¬turned to the University. (Thisyear, 966 undergraduates are re¬ceiving $981,820 in scholarships.)The second, and in some waysmore impor tant reason, is the be¬lief of this University and manyothers that students do have theobligation to pay for par t of theireducation.Loan applications are treatedsimilarly to scholarship applica¬tions. Recipients are chosen on thebasis of academic qualificationsand financial need. Academic re¬quirements are not as strict forloan applicants as for scholarshipapplicants, however, and the gift-loan ratio is often correlated withthe applicant’s grades. An “A”student might receive gift assist¬ance covering the whole of hisneed, but a “C” student mighthave 75% of his need covered bya scholarship and the rest by aloan. Loans are renewable in muchthe same way as scholarships.A new application must be sub¬mitted each year and the student’sfinancial and academic statuses arereviewed; in case of poor gradeshis status is reviewed each quar¬ter. Most loans are unrestricted;they are available to all students,regardless of major field, religion,etc.Three typesThe University maintains threetypes of loan funds: National De¬fense Education Act, Tuition, andcash loan programs. NDEA loansare relatively new but are by farthe most important. The federalgovernment contributes nine-tenthsof the money in the UC-NDEAfund, which is completely UC ad¬ministered and controlled withinthe limits of the Act, and the Uni¬versity contributes the other one-tenth. PalJett stated that the feder¬al government thus greatly aidsthe University because Universitymoney that would otherwise haveto be spent for loans may be usedfor other purposes. The entire Uni¬versity received $250,000 of NDEAfunds during the 3963-1964 aca¬demic year, and will receive atleast $650,000 this year. Theseloans are by far the most popularbecause the repayment terms arethe most favorable to the recipient.Interest (a low 3%, like all otherUC loans) does not begin accumu¬lating until one year after the stu- (Editor’s note: this is the second ina series of articles on the financial aidprogram at UC. The first, which ap¬peared January 15. told about the sizeof the program and the policies ofselection.)' • - • •:*dent discontinues his education andpayments need not begin until ayear after that. Up to half therepayment of the loan is cancella¬ble if the student enters teaching.Tuition loans uniqueTuition loans, a unique UC in¬stitution, are actually defermentsof all or part of tuition. Theseloans begin to bear interest whenthe student leaves the Universityand repayment is expected to be¬gin within four months. Theseloans were worth $109,000 to 231students in the College in the 1962-1963 academic year.The third, and least important,loan type is the cash loan. Mostof these are issued in relativelysmall amounts and for short termsonly. They are intended primarilyfor emergency use, according toPallett.BOTH THE AVERAGE number and amount of loans given havebeen rising due to the increasedcosts of tuition, room, and board.Although some requests are turneddown and some applicants are notgranted all they request, morethan 95% of the applicants do re¬ceive loans.The University has a model loanprogram. Debtors being debtors,pressure and careful supervisionare necessary to ensure repaymentof loans, but actual defaults arevery few, stated Cotton, pr imarilydue to the diligence of UC loanofficers and their long experiencein the field.Pallett assured all UC studentsthat they need not fear havingto quit school because of lack offunds. The University has moneyto lend them at low rates so thatthey may continue their education.“The Student Loan Office is opento any and all students if theyhave any question about theireligibility,” Pallett said, and em¬phasized that no student has toleave the University due to lack offunds.Mj *■ ^ ‘ ‘S »| Of comic stripsand Kierkegaardby Rick PollackUC Divinity School student Robert L. Short has written abook, The Gospel According to Peanuts, which is proving tobe a little publicized bestseller, with over fifty thousand copiessold and booksellers unable to meet demand as plans arebeing made for a fifth printing.Peanuts, for those who do notread the comics, is a very per¬plexed young boy, bewildered ateverything. Short’s book is, how¬ever, anything but a humorousanalysis of a funny comic stripcharacter. Rather, it is an expli¬cation of the deep religious sig¬nificance of this everyday cartoonseries.THE BOOK IS a culminationof experience and thought whichfirst began eight years ago, whenShort was a student at the Per¬kins School of Theology at South¬ern Methodist University. Therea professor of his was accustomedto bringing selected strips of “Pea¬nuts,” written by a lay preacherin the Church of Christ, to classto demonstrate important expres¬sions of Christian belief.Six years ago Short, whileworking for the Dallas Council ofChurches in its radio-TV depart¬ment, conceived of the idea ofusing the “Peanuts” strip as de¬votionary material. CharlesSchultz, Peanut’s creator, has saidthat his comic strip is basicallyreligious; in order to secure read¬ership, though, it was necessaryto present these religious tenetsin a subtle manner.Short, in his Dallas televisionprograms and later in a seriesof slide lectures using “Peanuts”which he now presents in church¬es has attempted to bring out thereligious tenets implicit in thecomic strip. These have proved sosuccessful that Short is puttinghimself through school with lec¬ture fees.Describing himself as a “neo-Protestant existentialist,” Short in his new book has interpreted thereligious meaning of “Peanuts”and his relationship to modernman in a wide and rather eclecticintellectual context which, the au¬thor says, “reflects his readingtastes.”Thus, the book, consisting main¬ly of cartoon selections with com¬mentary, presents one man’s ideaof Christian substance backed upby the authority of such writersas Karl Barth, Pascal Kierkegaard.Kafka and Salinger. For examplethese men, and others are usedto illustrate Short’s view of theproblem of Original Sin.This is expressed in such car¬toon sequences as the one in whichPeanuts, after convincing himselfthat his are hands meant tochange the world, is brought tothe realization that they are fullof jelly and is left dumbfounded.The book, written in two andone half months this summer, alsofits in well with Short’s academiccareer. After receiving a B.D. atS.M.U. and later an M.A. in Eng¬lish, Short is now studying in the“Theology and Literature” pro¬gram of the Divinity School. Thisrather unusual program preparesstudents, most of whom intendto teach, to teach either in a de¬partment of religion or an Eng¬lish department. In either case,the student learns to bring tobear the fullest possible theolog¬ical background to literary inter¬pretation. Reflecting this concept,Short says his doctoral thesis willhave something to do withShakespeare, Kafka, or Salinger(But not Schultz).Theatre ReviewLast Stage presents 'one of its best' Ask letters, attendance at BoardInterested and concernedstudents are invited to aid dis¬gruntled citizens in their at-cynieal scene in dramatic litera- trolled and forceable performanc- tempts to improve the qualityture. es.
