told the IHC council members that

Continuing, he said some houses

Political Ideas
"Everything that is of import-
ance in political science principles
was discovered in the classical pe-
riod," Prof. Eric Voegelin of Louis-
iana State University said yester-
day.
Speaking on "The Quest for
Principles in Political Science," at
the Political Science Roundtable,
Prof. Voegelin divided the contri-
butions of these principles into the
classical, Christian and modern
periods.
Prof. Voegelin commented that
in classical times the search for
principles in political science stem-
med from the comparison of the
statesman to the physician.
"Since Plato and Aristotle po-
litical science has concerned it-#
self with the theory of man's na-
ture," he continued. The classic
theory was that men were equal in
nature but with different capaci-
ties for fulfillment, he said.
Newly Appointed
Harold C. Hickman, '31E, was
appointed to the newly-created
post of Assistant Superintendent
of Plant at the University, Walter

Hickman will assist in the de-

Of Big Three
Climax of 3-Day
Meeting Seen
MOSCOW (A)-Russia and Aus-
tria haveagreed on "practically
all questions" on a treaty to re-
store Austria's independence, Aus-
trian Ambassador Norbert Bischoff
said yesterday.
In Vienna, Austrian Premier
Julius Raab's People's party dis-
closed he had telephoned from
Moscow, saying:
"Austria will be free, and we will
receive back our native soil in its
entirety. Our war prisoners will be
free again."
After 3-Day Negotiations
Premier Raab and his advisors
have been negotiating here for
three days for Soviet consent to
an independence treaty that would
end 10 years' occupation of little
Austria by the Big Four powers.
Bischoff said members of the
Russian and Austrian delegations
still were working on remaining'
problems late last night. He had
this to say on specific points in the
negotiations:
1. The question of guarantees
demanded by Russia that Austria
will never unite again with Ger-
many would be settled by a request
by Austria to her occupying powers
to protect her against another
such merger or anschluss. The oc-
cupying powers are Russia, the
United States, Britain and France.
No Foreign Bases
2. Austria promised not to per-
mit any foreign military bases on
her territory.
3. Austrian participation in any
military alliances was "not a point
under discussion." Austria does
not care to sign any military
treaties. No agreement was made
with the Russians which would
prevent Austria from joining other
international organizations, such
as economic groups.
Big Three Agreement
The United States, Britain, and
France will have to agree to any
terms worked out in Moscow be-
fore the terms can become effec-
tive. Austrian Foreign Minister
Leopold Figl, who accompanied
Premier Raab, has kept the West-
ern Big Three's envoys in Moscow
fully informed on the Austrian-
Soviet negotiations.
Austrian reports quoted Bischoff
as sayinghe was sure the Western
powers would not oppose the new
agreement.
Significance of the Soviet con-
cessions in over-all East-West ma-
neuverings is not clear. Some
Western diplomats believe it may
be part of Russia's scheme to
thwart West German rearmament.
According to this theory, offering
Austria freedom might help dis-
suade the West Germans from
building up an army.

awards are used in recruiting stu-
dents to such an extent that any,
danger exists."
Further consideration should be
given to the problems of inde-
pendent schools, Father Steiner
also said. He explained they will
be expected to carry their share of
the doubled enrollment anticipat-
ed by 1970.

HANDICRAFTS & OBEDIENCE:
African Schooling Changed


By MARY LEE DINGLER
 "There is no place for the Negro
in the white community above the
level of certain forms of labor,"
explained South Africa's Min-
ister of Native Affairs, Hendrik
Verwoerd.
In line with Verwoerd's views,
native children in South Africa
will now be taught such subjects
as handici aft and obedience and
will be prohibited from attend-
ing school for more than three
hours a day.

The new curriculum is being

A Possible Advantage
Born in South Africa and still

that there was at least one advan-
