Students' Eye View Of World Affairs CALLING our age one of self in dulgence . . -. and of falling moral standards. Princess Elizabeth of Eng land attacked the growing divorce rate, and the prevalent, although illogical, lii-sitency to condemn what we believe is wrong because of the fear of social censure. We agree most heartily with Bri tain's heir-apparent, when she warned the Mothers' Union that' they have a responsibility to help maintain the Christian doctrine that the relationship between husband and wife is a perma nent one . . . . The climax to the speech came later, however, when Parliament censured Elizabeth and insisted that divorce is sometimes necessary. It seems to be an example of a government's parti cipation in the falling moral stand- arils'' against which Elizabeth describ ed. WHAT PRICE existence? Jefferson Military college, near Natchez, Miss., had to decide this a few weeks ago. The school was on the brink of collapse. Its funds were exhausted and its enroll ment dwindling. Then came Judge George W. Arm strong who offered the college a gift of several million dollars. The only Stipulations were that enrollment must exclude any person of African or Asiatic origin, and that the superi ority of the Anglo-Saxon and Latin American races must be taught. But such a blatant avowal of dis crimination was opposed by the small southern school. It refused the gift- with-tlic-strings. Perhaps this is an indication of an upswing in prejudiced circles. IN A RECENT issue, this column mentioned the establishment of a gov ernment in Red China. The U.S. has not yet recognized Mao Tse-tung's democratic dictatorship for this we are thankful. Recognition of a govern ment that shows acute evidences of Russian pressure would be a move dif ficult to justify in the light of the United Nations Charter particularly since a UN delegation is preparing to bring formal charges before the present UN session. We urge participation in the Christ opher-inspired plan to pray to God and to write to your congressman that this country will not put commercial con sideration first that it will withhold recognition of Red China's apparent ly illegal government. REPORTS, broadcast by the Mos cow radio and published recently in many American newspapers, that Wil liam Randolph Hearst received a Papal honor, have been denied by the Vatican Radio.

Talk On Leadership Adventure Awaits Student in Library Periodical Collection From Action to Yale Review the scaphus of the library holds boat loads of knowledge. The term scaphus derives from the (ireek skaphus, meaning a hollow in the ground, or the hold of a ship. If you venture into its depths and explore the leaves of its periodical col lection you may recapture the spirit of the Old South and the inspiration of Gettysburg in the dry, brittle pages of the 1862 issues of Atlantic Monthly. You may follow Catholic trends in the U. S. since 1909 in the aging vol umes of America. You may learn of developments in chemistry and biology from the science magazines which recently have been awarded their places below deck. These and many other magazines line the shelves of the scaphus. You may browse among the shelves or use the magazines upstairs in the reading rooms, provided they are returned to the desk in the scaphus. The unbound periodicals circulate overnight. Mary Ellen Ward, Barbara Heintz, LaVon Froehlich, and Carol Higgins are half-way through their series of speeches for the NFCCS leadership program, whioh closes Wednesday of this week. Study History of Roman Basilicas Classics students have turned an ar tistic and historical spotlight on the great Roman basilicas, as a preparation for the Holy year.

Charades and 20 questions, under the direction of Louise Coughlin, social chairman, pro vided entertainment. Rider in the Sky Comes Down To Earth Riding a horse is an easy task, once you get onto it. My first ride was on a reiny day I'll never forget. To me, a horse was just a horse, and I chose no sides, but oddly enough, I discovered that horses are particular. Mounting him on the right side netted me a toss into the center of the ring. Once in the saddle, my first hope was to show the horse who was boss. He already knew that he was. My problem was how to stay on. Amidst the thud of horses hooves, the cry, To the Wall. Tops, broke my reverie. Who, I wondered, is Tops? And then I knew. Tops? My horse was Tops Everyone is called by her horse's name, and I was Tops. Tops. I might mention, was inclined to be rather slow, so I was provided with a crop to spur him on. It was quite a fete to hold the reins, slap him with the stick, keep him to the wall, and, oh yes, stay in the saddle all the time I was literally going around in circles. The second part of the lesson con sisted in learning the various gaits of a horse the trot, which made one look like a pogo stick in perpetual mo tion ; the canter, which has a sliding motion like a rocking chair; and gal lop, which the rider can easily do by- just hanging on tight. After the longest hour of my life, T heard the welcome instruction on the proper procedure for dismounting. We were given our choice of two methods. The first is merely to jump down, but this was too hazardous so I used the second, which involved swinging the right foot over the horse and down to the floor of the ring. I reckoned with out my shortness of limb, got my left foot intricately entwined in the stir rup, and fell free only after a helpful jolt from Tops. Good riders, they tell me, are made by the number of falls they take. Give me my boots and my saddle Equestriennes ride again.
