Kissinger states the lollewing in his book “Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy": “Foreign policy has its exprcs~ sion in the judgment oi iacts 7 the judgment that we exercise in discriminating among them.” One of the central topics oi de- bate at the Pi-iiicipia College Public Aiiairs Conierence was. the relevance oi moral analys and judgments to the issues in- volved in nuclear politics. Seville Davis, Chiei Editorial Writer ior The Christian Science Monitor. said the common con. iusion between a moral or ctliis cal view oi politics and a view based on political and economic consideration leads to emotion. alism and a distortion oi the true picture oi a world engaged in a deadly battle oi power politics. An example oi this is the built—in deception or the dis. armament probleiu The masses oi people in the United States not only desire disarmament, but have internalized their wish and pushed it into the rcalm oi the conscience. By considering (llSr armament as a moral issue or ethical stand, one transiorms what what is in reality a politir cal judgment into a moral posir tion and. in a larger sense, an expression oi opinion toward the behavior of the Soviet Union. The person who conceives oi the politics and power oi the nuclear age in terms oi the abuses oi love and compassion is headed toward a philosophy oi appeasement which is in- consistent with the preserva— tion oi our democratic society.

This was the morals-subordinat— ed answer oi one commission. Other individuals, however, held the ulti-amoi-alistic position oi paciiism: “It is better to suiier in doing the right than to inilict suiiering in doing the wrong," Although the entire conference was oriented in the direction or the iii-st answer, the important value which i, and most or the conierees, received was having to iace squarely the problem oi how to deal with the political Approve high court appointments by Richard onlemcyer 5&3 scaii Writer Wednesday, under the leader. ship of newly elected Speaker Terry Parssiiien, the student senate adopted some amendr ments to the women’s house rules (pages 47—52 in the 1961- 62 student handbook). The rule changes were sponsored by Jill Dennington, retiring AWS board president. As amended, the first paragraph oi article HI section A reads as follow, “The loggia and Mcars doors are locked at 10:30 pm. Sun- day through Thursday nights The lights in the loggia will be blinked five minutes beiore it is locked and a warning bell rung three minutes lbeiore clos— ing hours, The lights will be blinked at lelin i-iall entrance by the night check girl rive and two minutes beiore iinal closing hours, which will be determined by the Main Hall clock, Lack oi the time trainings will not be considered a legal excuse ior lateness.” The last sentence was added because it was pointed out that the time signals are only a convenience and might not be exactly on time, or on rare occasions might be entirely omitted. Article in section A—Z.a. has been rewritten to provide a change in lateness penalties. “Main hall entrance will be locked at midnight through Friday and at 12:30 am. Sunday (Saturday night). Any woman arriving aitcr the (1001' has been locked will be considered late, The normal penalty ior the first oiiense on a weekend will be hall eumpusmcnt beginning at 7:30 ior a Friday and Saturday night, The normal penalty ior tlicl nighti first offense on a week will be luggla closing hours for one week. During tlm period of penalty 2i Woman must. be Check ed in by the monitor in her own Sunday , hall. Men leaving the Quad— rangle through the Main Hall entrance aiter the loggia and Mom doors have been locked will incur the regular lateness penalty ior their dates." This change was contested by the representative from James on the ground that since the library closes at 11:30 and women's hours are 12 put, any violation would be ior social reasons, thus no distinction should be made in determination or penalties. in answer, Jill Delia nington pointed out that more violations occur on weekends Some discontent was voiced over the provision that a wom- an could be subject to a penalty causcd, not by herscli, but by her dates tardiness in leaving. Latencss penalties tor ii-csh— man women in article H1 section A.2,c. were revised to read as ioliows. “Closing hours ior ii-eshman women beioie mid. semester grades have been is- sued are 10:30 p.ni.

(These statements are echoed in Kissinger's latest book, “The Necessity For Choice,” in which he says the course oi the cold war depends not only on the military strength of each side but also on its willingness to use that strength.) Kissinger said that “what lit tic chance there was [or a test ball was eliminated by those peace groups who said we should accept any Russian propo- 1," because these demands climinab ed our negotiation position in regard to Russian proposals. “If we think history is work ing for us the only goal we need is to sunlvc," Kissinger said.
