He will leave here June 1 and expects to return to the Univer- sity in September. -Daily-Paul Nida PROF. FRED HABERMAN ' ...speaks on orators Haberman Give Talk On Orators' Prof. Fred W. Haberman, chair- T an of the speech department at e University of Wisconsin, yes'- terday spoke at the Speech Assem- bly on.four orators who each add- ed "a new dimension to the con- cept of liberty." Demosthenes,. fourth century Athenian orator, contributed the concept of "liberty of the tribe." The second of Haberman's four "spokesmen for freedom" was Pe- ter Wentworth, the "first man to give a reasoned discourse on free- dom of speech in the House of Commons." Although Wentworth's reasons were- considerably more mystical than a modern discourse likely would be, Prof. Haberman said Wentworth's plea for free- dom of ;"the individual conscience" is valid., A woman of English birth, Anna Howard Shaw, who was "an or- dained minister, medical doctor and suffragette," was the third of these spokesmen. She pleaded for "liberty for personal opportunity." Franklin Delano R o o s e v e l t preached the doctrine of "liberty of the community." "Every new doctrine of the last 35 years came under this heading," Prof. Haber- man said. This is a doctrine de- signed to protect society at large from abuse by a special group. By RICHARD CONDON Over the past year the Political Issues Club, which recently with- drew a petition to sponsor singer Paul Robeson here, has been un- dergoing a readjustment of its or- ganizational meetings and corre- lating activities, according to chairman Ned McClennan, '59. Originally the Political Issues Club was established in order to bring interesting and controver- sial personalities to campus with hopes of stimulating student in- terest in the political and non- campus activities. The program was set up at a time when there were not as many thought-pro- voking lectures taking place as there are now. There is no longer an urgent need for the acquisition of more interesting speakers' at, the Uni- versity, McClennan said, so the club- is reorganizing 'its program erence to politics and short-wave bers are now gathering in private apartments on a weekly non- scheduled basis with the purpose of discussing various contempor- ary problems. These discussions are open to non-club members as well as the menTbers themselves. Tonight, tape recordings of mu- sic used for propaganda will be played, followed by expository opinions expressed by the listen- ers. Olson To oTal In Columbus Dean Willard C. Olson of the education school will speak today at the Institute of Child Develop- ment and Famliy Life in Colum- bus, Ohio. His lecture is entitled "The Children Who Surprised Us." What! Me Worry! I'm playing "SNAP THE TRAP" with D Phi E and Phi Sig Delt at Michigras .. . During the past semester the Club has heard a recording on the tactics and success of Red Chi- nese "brainwashing," a discussion on the present connotation of the word "liberal" as it is used in ref- erence to politics and short-waxe broadcasts of "Radio Moscow" propaganda. Out-Look Republican conservatism and the "natural" look in men's clothes may make a fast exit if the Democrats are elected in 1960. According to Ron Postal, not- ed stylist who originated the s q u a r e d-oaf f breast pocket handkerchief and suits with no breast pockets, the "ivy league" look is a manifestation of Republican conservatism.. "If the country goes Demo- cratic in 1960, it will be a re- bellion against Republican con- servatism. A change in Admin- istration could bring a new age of flamboyancy in men's attire, maybe with a big swing ala Jimmy Walker," he said. Noted male stylists notice a decline in strict "ivy" styles, es- pecially in suit Jackets. Design- ers are already putting in small pads, Postal pointed out. Archaeologist To Lecture, Sho Slides wIgnacio Bernal, director of the Prehispanic Monuments at the Mexican National Institute of An- thropology and History, will speak on "Recent Excavations at Oaxa- ca" at 4:15 p.m. today. The lecture, under the auspices of the anthropology department, will be given in the Natural Sci- ence Auditorium. Bernal will discuss and show slides of the mound excavations, burials and buildings at Oaxaca, a state in south central Mexico, according to Prof. James B. Grif- fin of the anthropology depart- ment. The archaeological sites date from 1000 B.C. to the Span- .ish conquest of the primitive In- dians.
