The university's attitude is stated in the following sentences: The serving of alcoholic li quors of any strength by stu dent organizations either in or ganized houses or at public af fairs cannot be regarded as ac ceptable or good educational practice; Intoxication, intolerable and reprehensible as it is in civil life, is much more intolerable Speech - Chancellor ccntration camp in May 1945, Dr. Schuschnigg had been held in soli tary confinement at various camps since the occupation of Austria in March 1938. Subsequently he tes tified at the Nuremburg trials. He served as chancellor of his country during the tense four years preceeding the outbreak of World War II. He was appointed as chief of state following the as sassination of Chancellor Dollfuss and served until forced to resign by German pressures on the Aus trian government, leading to its occupation. Dr. Schuschnigg will discuss the problems of international politics arising in the area of his home land. Austria, one of the oldest countries of central Europe, has been a focal point in two world wars. Dr. Schuschnigg was prominent in the Austrian state for a decade before becoming its head.
