Dear Students:
The recent expedition of Lowell Thomas and his son to the
mysterious land of Dalia Lama has been widely publicized in The
Saturday Evening Post, Colliers and the daily newspapers.
And now, through the special arrangcemnts of the Mortar
Boards, Lowell Thomas jr., is including Lincoln in his nationwide
lecture tour.
We feel that this is entertainment you cannot afford to miss.
It is more than a movie or a stage show. It is adventure, mystery
and romance. Nowhere else will you get such a lantastic story of
a forbidden land. The lecture will be illustrated by a color film
showing the Lama with their strange costumes, traditions and in
credible ceremonies.
The lecture film wilL be held on March 22 at 8:15 p.m. in St.
Pauls Methodist church.
iicKets may De obtained from Tassels or at a booth in the
Student Union.
Sincerely,
The Black Masque Chapter of Mortar Board

A visit to the never-never land

Men With 'Know-How' . . .
Here's a golden opportunity if we ever saw one. The
model United Nations general assembly offers experience
which few people have the fortune to obtain. It offers a
chance to hear from men who have had close contact with
the actual United Nations, men who know how the UN
works and the problems it must face.
William Agar, chief of the section for lectures and
educational liaison of the UN department of public in-j
formation, will start the conference rolling with his report
of the seccrtary-general. Few men are better qualified to
speak on the UN's job in this field than Mr. Agar. At the
end of the First World War, as a result of his experience
in Europe, he was a firm believer in international co-operation.
His work in natural resources led him to see even
more clearly the basic interdependence of all nations and
the dangers inherent in isolation. With the outbreak of
World War II, it was almost inevitable that Mr. Agar join
with others working to assure American co-operation in
the defeat of the Axis. As one of the founders and an ac-
tive worker in the Fight for Freedom committee and later
in Freedom house, he devoted his time to lecturing and
writing in connection with the meaning of war, the require
ments for peace and international cooperation in general.
In May of 1946, after five months spent in Great
Britain and Germany under the auspices of the British
ministry of information, followed by an extended lecture
tour of the United States, Agar joined the department of
public information of the United Nations.
So Mr. Agar Knows wnai ne s laiKinf; auuuu rinu con

program also points him out as the logical man to inform
students on an issue they themselves will be considering,
the future of UNESCO.
Of course, it would be absurd to think that within
such a short time these three men could tell us all we
want to know about the United Nations. But their talks,
along with participation in the mock assembly business,
will take us a step further toward an understanding of
world government.
Any University student will appreciate the chance to
hear three authorities who have made the UN their full
time or part-time jobs. Their names on the conference
program schedule present us with the purpose of the whole
project ... a more adequate knowledge of the UN and a
better background for our part in achieving world co-operation.

During this Lenten season the
student with an inquiring turn
of mind, with a strong religious
background, and with a firm
foundation in Biblical lore, often
wonders how to co-ordinate the
teachings of religion with the
findings of the scientific world.
Frequent difficulties arise in re
solving some of the conflicts
which seem to exist. Human
Destiny by Pierre Lecomte du
Nouy provides one answer to the
problem (Humanities Heading
Room and College of Agricul
ture Library, 110L4!)h.)
Leeonite du Nouy is both a
scientist and a notable writer. He
was the first scientist to develop
a mathematical expression of the
process of healing wounds, and
has performed extensive research
on the properties of blood. For
ten years he was head of the bio
physics division of the Pistour
Institute.
In literature, du Nouv was

Best Cartoons
Bill Baker, Stan Sheets and
Hobe Hays are winners in the
Corn Shucks 1950 literary car
toon contest begun at the first I
of this semester. They received
$15, $10, and $5 respectively lor :
winning first, second and third J
prizes. The prize winning car-
toon appeared in the March 15 '
issue of the campus humor mag- 1
azine.
According to Bill Dugan one of
the managing editors of Corn
shucks, between thirty and forty
cartoons were received by the
staff during the contest.
Most of them will be used in
future issues, he said. The car
toons were judged on the basis of
style, originality, local color
and quality of drawing by the
editorial staff of the magazine.
First Choire.
One reason for the choice of
Baker's drawing as first place.
Dugan said, was that it was
applicable to a campus condition.
It depicts a student sitting on
one of the girders of the Coli
seum watching a basketball
game. Sheets' drawing shows a
small boy who has just shot his
father thru the head, and Havs'
is a comic strip about a gold dig
ger. The prize money for the con
test was supplied by the publi
cations board. Essays and short
stories, also a part ot the con- I
test, will be printed in future is-
sues of the magazine. These are I
judged by the editorfial staff
and Lowry C. Wimberly, prof
fessor of English. There will be
two winners in each category, I
each receiving S20 or $15 fori
first or second places.
finalist theory.
There is a delinitc purpose to
life and a delinitc purpose to
evolution. There is some guiding
principle or lon e iGoii) hack of
life and the evolutionary develop
ments in it. The expression of
this guiding force is a ctntinual
evolutionary development toward
an ultimate definite goal. Any
misconceptions we have had arc
due solely to the limited or one
aspect point of view which we
may have.
For example, to the unaided
eyr. steel is solid, and our con
ception understandably remained
that until the invention of the
microscope showed that steel is
porous. With further develop
ments, analysis showed it to be
made up of individual atoms.
Du Nouy argues that our eoncep
tions of human destiny as
must similarly change as
discoveries and new organiza
tions of knowledge point up new
concepts.
In support of his theory. Le
comte du Nouy traces the evolu
tionary development of the var
ious forms of life as we know it.
The evolutionary development of
each form of life and its physical
expression is its own choice. If
that choice be in line with the
ultimate goal of life, it continues
If not,
then that form of life stagnates
Happy Days Running Out...
With "the happiest days of our life" rapidly running
out, we find ourselves fighting down a nameless terror. Wei
are about to be shoved into the "cold, cruel world" that the
oldsters have been warning us about for years. Life so far,'
we've been told, has been just one ivory tower after an
other. School, the navy, more school and summer jobs have!
all sheltered us from harsh reality. Now we've got to face
it. I
As near as we can tell from our sheltered position, life t develop and prosper

relying on a rule book to set our manners and morals for us.
6. Grappling with the vital issues of life as our elders

religion in life or world government.
It's frightening to face such a future. But we hope
the preceding generation will be patient with us, and give
us a helping hand. Perhaps eventually we can adjust. We'd
like to try anyway. Reprinted in part from the Iowa State
Daily.
man destroys the premises of
those holding the mechanistic
point of view. Because of the
brain, man has the opportunity
of unlimited development along
moral and spiritual lines. Whether
man takes advantage of this op
portunity is another matter. The
point is that because of this brain,
man has the choice. If he chooses
rightly, he can be the one to
fulfill the role of destiny in this
ultimate goal of life. If he muffs
the chance, then some other form
of life will take over.
In the later chapters of Human
Destiny, the author traces the
evolutionary development of
Minerstition, of organized relig
1 ion and the sensing of God and
his omnipotence. He suggests the
role of education and instruction
in this development. There are
no limits tn the help which or

moral and spiritual development

such I has a role which nothing else ran

Both the student of religion

Thomas, known to many as a
radio commentator, will take his
audience on a "remarkable mo
tion picture lecture on a caravan
trek into Central Asia, the mys
terious land of the Dalai Lama."
Few Travel There
Until 149 only six Americans
had penetrated this mysterious
mountain kingdom to reach the
sacred capital of Lhasa. Thomas
will tell how he and his father,
Lowell Thomas, sr., received per
mission from the ruler of the
country, to make their tour to
the land.
Thomas will relate how, after
a treacherous journey by pack
caravan, the two Americans were
received in Potala itself, fabled
golden-roofed palace of the Dalai
Lama. What the Lowell Thomases
did, what they saw, in this storied
region, roof of the world, will be
reported with .iatural color mo
tion pictures. It will be accom
panied by the vital, fast moving
commentary of Lowell Thomas
junior, in person.
Another Planet
Included in this "trip to an-
NU Bulletin

other planets," will be a tale
showing the life of the last un
touched nation on earth; a talc of
high adventure among the Hima
lays far up on the lofty Central
Asian plateau. It's a tale of mon
asteries covered with gold, of the
Dalai Lama, of red-robed monks,
of lofty mountains.
It is a tale which also includes
the accident that occurred to the
elder Lowell Thomas on the re
turn from far-off Lhasa, just
alter crossing the loftiest pass.
The commentator, the younger
Thomas, is already a veteran of
some six expeditions at the age
of 26. He was a pilot in the re
cent war, and was with the Air
force at Bikini for the atom
bomb tests.
