Friday, March 20. ”64 IRC Gathering. Seminar on Order Share Political Scientist Friedrich By Ann Showalter The Order-Chaos lecture se- ties and the International Re- lations Club both benefited irom the visit Carl Jr Frieda rich (political s c i e n c e) of Harvard and the University of Heidelberg. Lecturing on “The Dialectic of Order and F re a d o m in Politics" Fri- FRIEBRIC" day evening in Herrick Chapel, Friedrich diSCussed the free- dom of individuals and nations in relations to the political or- der. “Man wants a free order and he wants an ordered freedom: therefore, he must accept dis- order and unfreedom to a cer- tain extent," he stated, . He stressed the “continual dialogue' going on between the terms “order’ and “freedom." The conflicts implicit in these two words are of the essence of politics in a democracy. Whether more freedom or more order will occur in a given situation depends on the individuals involved and the circumstances, but in general, Friedrich b e l i e V e s, ”The stronger the man, the more yalue freedom; the weaker the man, the more Value orderf” Since different people re- quire different amounts of freedom, one of the problems in the ordering of a commun- ity is “to provide the minimum of freedom for those who want only a minimum and at the same time to allow those who want more freedom to have it.” Friedrich cited professors and students as examples of people who might require more freedom than is sometimes af- fordecl by the political order. People seek three different types of freedom. The first is freedom of independence or lack of governmental interfer- ence, The founders of America were seeking this type of free- dom. The desire for the second type of‘freedom, freedom to participate in one’s govern ment, has become apparent in the fight for civil liberties “Freedom of 'creafion has become important in recent years,” said Friedrich. People desiring this type of freedom are not trying to keepithe gov» ernment out of their affairs or trying to participate in governs ing themselves; they want the government to help them in selfedevelopment through an Order that Will provide for eds ucation, employment and peace. Since political order must provide for so many types of freedom," “Any dynamic or- der is characterized by emerg- ing disorder.” The freedom of a nation may conflict with the freedom of the indi duals within it. Thus, newly independent countries are sometimes criticized for suspending individual free< doms. The mother country may say the people were freer under her domuu‘on, The new nation, however, replies that estab- lished countries often suspend individual rights in times of crises and by this principle the recently freed nation may with- draw rights. » A country thus has the free- dom to order its Own affairs even if by doing so it limits the freedom of the people with. in it. In his IECture to the lRC Con- ference Saturday morning on “National Interests and World Government.” Fredrich ex- plained that ”national inter- est” is defined differently by three different groups. The political technicians in the State Department conceive of national interest as main- taining the position of the Unita ed States in the World. The various. specialeinterest groups representing large or» ganizations think national in- terest coincides with their par- ticular points of View. “For- eign policy on many issues emerges as a compromise co- determined by the various special-interest groups and the technicians in the State De, partment." The third group the general public, rarely comes into oper- ation in formulating foreign policy, but when it does, as in the Cuban crisis. its effects can be devastating. ”Though the public believes national interest to be in pre- serving peace and freedom, it has often stepped in to demand warlike action," Friedrich stat- ed. Taking into account all these conceptions of national inter- est, Friedrich considered the United Nations and regional groups of nations in relation to world government. He believes the UN, European reunification and the Organization of Ameri- can States have generally been advantageous to the United States. "If the UN is a precursor to world government, it is much closer to the American ideal of federation than to the Commu- nist dream of world domina- tion." He thinks reorganization of tile UN would go against Us; operates with nations as its national interests because “the push for reorganization comes from countries with ideologies different from ours." “Our only hope for world or- der is likely to come in terms of about a dozen homogeneous SCARLET AND BLACK Main Foyer Hosts Senior Ari Exhiliit 0f Various Works The new exhibit gracing the walls of Main foyer is the work of Grinnell's own talent: the senior art majors. it is hoped the Senior Art Exhibit will be- come an annual activity of the art department, analogous to the senior recital given by niu- sic majors. Each senior art student chooses several examples from his class or independent work of the last few years, and from these were selected the pieces which make up the exhibit. The works represent almost all the media and techniques available to the art student through the art department: oils, water colors, prints, ce- ramics, and silver. There is an equal variety of styles, and diverse subjects, ranging from “Weed" to “Madgalene.” The most unusual title belongs to a painting by Judy A. Johnson, “That which I should have done I did." The ceramics and jewelry are the work of Carl Rattnerf The art majors are gaining practical experience by setting up the exhibit themselves, un- der the supervision of Mn and Mrs. Louis Zirkle, art instructa ors. They matted, framed and labeled their own pictures, then arranged them according to color, style, and medium, to the advantage of the room, the lighting and each otherf They used colored strips of burlap to unify and organize the display. The purpose of the exhibit. on display from March 7-29, is to spotlight the work of senior art majors. This exhibit is one of fliree ways in which student work is presented to the stu- dent public during the year. The student exhibit, scheduled for April. 30-May 18, in Scllaef— fer Gallery, provides an oppor- tunity for any student to dis- play his art work, and the stu- dent sale is held later in the spring for all students who wish to sell their work. cultural entities." He named India, China, Africa, Europe, Arabia, Latin America, Great Britain, the US and USSR as logical groupings, "rather than all the ones we have now." Since international law still primary grouping and since the democratic and totalitar- ian conception of law differs SO radically, Friedrich feels that any attempt at world gov- ernmeiit would do best to play down law. / lig’ For young and Old . . . COLLUM'S STAN DAR D ‘ll' Grinnnll SERVICE Page Five Bishop Depicts Pascal's Genius For Phi Beie Chapel Lecture The description of a “vivida and unmistakable phenomenon of genius“ was presented at l a s t Friday‘s Phi Beta Kap- pa chapel lec- t u r e. Morris Bishop, 1) o e t, b io g r a pher, and humorist, spoke to the 24 new initiates of the honor soci» ety and other “SHOP students and faculty. He described Blaise Pascal, the subject of his lec- ture as the most “authentic case of genius." Bishop described Pascal‘s boyhood and education care- fully, calling his life a ”pathet- ic picture of a great mind try- ing to destroy itself.” He por- trayed a boy and man with a restless and unquiet mind that could never be satisfied With what others were satisfied with. . ," ‘;The quest for certitude” was the driving force of Pas- cal’s life, according to Bishopf The contradictions in this and in his goal to prove Christian faith by the power of reason— are reflected in Pascal’s work, the Pensees. A scientific and mathematical prodigy, he is quoted as saying, “Our only true science is comprehension of God's will and obedience to if.” He also stated that “Faith is God felt in the heart, not in the reason." Given to mysticism, Pascal included the statement, “I know the one in whom I have be- lieved,” on his official seal. Bishop characterized him as a man who "tried force of will to achieve saint-hood. He tried to abandon man. , , . he could never escape from his mind, from that old demon thought" In conclusion Bishop printed out the role Pascal‘s upbring- ing played in his genius He pointed out that the “informal” education Pascal received de- veloped his reason and judg~ ment and encouraged original- ity. Yet he lacked the sense of discipline and conformity which a formal education brings. “Schools prepare us for liv- ing in the world," he Said. flu immediately pointed out, how- ever, that “group adjustment will destroy a genius' he must learn group rejection. . . . Genius, like all creativity, must be paid for.” Listing peace of mind, happiness, comfort, ad solidarity as the things lost, Bishop concluded that “the genius has no choice."
