FORME R 'U' PROFESSOR:
Efimenco Stresses CulturalExchange
By TAMIIMY MORRISON
One of the best-known of the
University's political science tea-
chers is leaving this weekend for
what he calls "the practical side
of international relations."
Prof. N. Marbury Efimenco,
who has taught Poli Sci 67, the
study of international relations,
and whose special field of interest
lies in the strife-torn Middle East,
next week begins a job with the
United States Information Agency
in Washington.
After a two-month briefing
period, Prof. Efimenco expects to
be sent abroad, probably to one
ofthe .Middle East capitals.
Describing his job as "explain-
ing American foreign policy to
point program for United States
foreign policy in the Middle East,
and his emphasis was definitely on
his fifth point-cultural exchange.
Important Factor
Why does he feel that way?
"Well," he said thoughtfully, "I
think it's the most important fac-
tor in building solid foreign re-
lations. It's very long-range, but
in the long run, it'll be the most
effective way of understanding
others and making ourselves un-
derstood.
"I was in Baghdad and Iraq for
a year, and the people have a
tremendous curiosity about us. My
job will be an attempt to interpret
American objectives to such peo-
ple. I feel we have a real responsi-
bility and duty to try to arrive
at understanding."
Might Lecture
His attempt at understanding
will not be confined to working
hours. .If invited, he intends to,
make use of one of his favorite
means of communication - pub-
lic lectures.
Prof. Efinenco is the product
of two totally different environ-
ments. He grew up in the Finger
Lakes area of New York State,
which he describes as "upstate
Republican - really a type of
Hooverism that hasn't changed
much."
But his college career was spent
at the University of Minnesota.
"When I was there, just before
the war, it was the center of the
Farm-Labor Party movement - a
very dynamic and changing thing.
And it was especially powerful on
the campus."
He feels that the two environ-
ments contribute greatly to his
present attitudes. "They are two
progressive states; one very fine
educationally, and one full of the
liberal spirit and the ferment of
experimentation.
Hits Lecture Committee
"As a matter of fact, I've often
thought about the differences be-
tween Michigan and Minnesota. I
suppose the two things most in-
dicative of the changing climate
of opinion are the Lecture Com-
mittee and the lack of a student
forum.
"The Lecture Committee, for
instance, is utterly contrary to
the liberal tradition - at Minne-
sota, they merely assumed that
they had an obligation to permit
mature students to exchange ideas.
They also had ,a once-a-week
forum, to which they invited
prominent men in politics, edu-
cation and public affairs. And
don't think the students didn't
cross-examine them very care-
;ully!"
He reminisced about meeting
Norman Thomas, ofttimes Social-
ist Presidential candidate and an
occasional speaker.
"At that time, Thomas wasI
spearheading an anti-war philo-
sophy which held that war was,}
no matter how economically nrcf-j
itable, disastrous in terms of dis-"
placement of people. It was very
popular on the campus.
"I sometimes think," he added
quietly, "that Thomas' philosophy
should be re-examined. The fact
that we entered the war doesn't
alter the possible value of such a
philosophy.
"Perhaps," the teacher contin-
ued, "we ought to re-examine the!
entire world order we set up after
1945, and ask ourselves whether
,he United Nations and power pol-
itics can contribute to a peaceful
world order.
"I'm beginning to think that
people must face the unreality of
power politics in terms of the
means they use and the end they
claim to seek - peace."
Products of the Time
Prof. Efimenco blames neither
students nor faculty for the much-
flaunted conservatism and con-
formity on campuses today.
"Both are products of the total
community and the trends within"
that community," he says. "Con-

.foreign countries," he said he
would be working for the Cultural
Affairs Division of USIA.
Excited About Work
The slender young theorist-
turned-practitioner is excited and
enthusiastic about the future of
such work. "The starting point,"
he said, "is a realization of the
responsibility of America for
world leadership.
"Because we have to operate on
a sovereign state system," he con-
tinued, "our ability to be influ-
ential depends on our contact with
foreign. countries. There's a direct
connection between teaching in-
ternational politics and working
at it.
"I think it's very important,"
he added, "that people on the aca-
demic level be practical as well."
Prof. Efimenco's enthusiasm for
the value of cultural exchanges in
promoting peace should have been'
evident to the occupants of Ann
Arbor High's West Cafeteria last
Wednesday.
It was there, during a Town
Talk, that he advocated a five-

there's anything anybody can do
about lack of that."
Beyond his work for USIA, the
departing political scientist has
no definite plans. "I'm keeping
the future open to see what de-
velops," he said.
"But," he added with a smile,
"I intend to remain a practicing
student of international politics,
and my campus trainnig will go
along with me."

cepts of freedom have to be as-

and the spirit of the 30's is vast-

1945 period."
However, lack of freedom on the
campus disturbs him. "It's the
students who will suffer in the
long run. On the other hand, it's
hard to preach what others should
do. Students should have a vital
interest in student government
and public affairs, because college
is where their basic ideas are
formed.
"But the spirit of interest has
to be self-generataing and spon-
