(UP) The present war is one of five major per iods in history since man first began knocking his neighbor around with a club, according to Dr. Constantine Panunzio, professor of sociology at the University of California. Dr. Panunzio, author of "Major So cial Institutions," lists these five maj or war periods: 1. Ancient times when war was a part of the daily routine. 2. The era of the Roman Empire, when there was a partial realization that war should be controlled. Rome unified the western world and creat ed a 200-year peace. 3. The rise of Christianity and Mohammadanism. which directly con tributed to warlike activities for sev eral centuries in spite of sporadic efforts of kings and popes to suppress war. 4. The close of the 15th Century to the beginning of the World War, during which the rise of Protestant ism and the clash of imperial ambi tions brought several centuries of war. 5. The beginning of the World War to the present time, which has included the Ethiopian and Albanian conquests, the war in Spain, the Far Eastern conflict and the expansion of German nazism. Panunzio finds that the present war period is characterized by two phen omena. "Whereas during previous periods,'' he states, "the will of the personal monarch or of a small ruling clique was sufficient to plunge countries into war, today the declaration of war with most countries rests with the people. "The second phenomenon consists in the growing employment of prop aganda by the governments as a means of forming the sentiments, opinions and prejudices of the people into compliance with the aims of the rulers."
