EAST WEST UNIVERSITY
SENATOR LYNDON Johnson If Tox.

LYNDON Johnson-of Texas. Senate
Majority Leader, has advanced an idea which could hold
the key to understanding between the East and the
West. The Senator proposed an East-West University Of
Hawaii. This would be IAN international university
and serve as a meeting place for the intellectuals Of the
East and West"
The IDEA IS revolutionary one, and even more
SO because Of the background and locations Of both the
Senator and the proposed university. People from below
the MaSon-Dlxon line are supposed to think in terms Of
cherish, and fight to keep alive, a way Of life which
perpetuates the principle Of purely regional supre-
macy. 1t is therefore significant that a man from that
part OF the country would venture forth with a sugges-
ton that a school be established where races would
mingle, live, and learn, and share together.
HAWAII, THE 50TH state, is already being consid-
cred as a locale for such an important role. And what
better place could there be for such a school perform
ing such a function! Tt is also significant to note that
Senator Johnson took into account the cost of such a
venture. It would cost, the Senator said, "a fraction of
the cost of the weapons which we now ship to other ma
tionS Of the world and would benefit all mankind
NO ONE, ANYWHERE, could be unaware Of the
delicate and difficult world problems. They affect all
mankind in every quarter of the world, even to the
most remote. Who would have thought, for example,
that Tibet, way off IN the Himalayan Mountains, would
become the victim of invasion, and that it would point
up, even from that remote spot, the need to respect ma
tional integrity.
SENATOR JOHNSON has something, and it has
come at a time when men need to think more in terms
Of their ~fellowmen and their welfare than in arms and

with Aristotle ON the natural inferiority
of woman; indeed, he considers her to be
natures big mistake.
Many modern writer's emphasize the
particular qualities in which women excel.
Darwin, for example, extols womans spe-
cial capacities for tenderness, devotion, and
generosity, as compared with the competi-
tive and Self-centered male. He also thinks
women may have keener intuition and per
ception. william James thinks women
come to maturity at an earlier age than
men. At 20. he says, a woman is completely
formed mentally. and well advanced over
her comparatively formleSs male contem-
porary. But, in his opinion, the unfinished
and open state of the latter is advantageous
to his protracted mental development.

regarded women as in
every way the equal Of
men, save for the petite
difference. And a few
have even considered
the female superior in
some respects.

Perhaps the most gallant, and to
feministS the most infuriating, example Of
the gentleman-of-t the school approach
is that of Cervantes. The gentle knight
pictures woman as an imperfect creature
whose path to virtue, which is her glory,
is to be made as easy as possible:
she must be treated as relics are;
adored not touched. She must be pro-
tected and priced as one protects and
prizes a fair garden full of roses and
flowers, the owner of which allows no
one to trespass or pluck a blossom:
enough for Others that from afar and
through the iron grating they may enjoy
its fragrance and its beauty"
Such chivalry on the part Of men
toward women does not go with equality
between the sexes, as women have learned,
sometimes with regret that it is not quite
possible for them to have the best of both
worlds

the home have dominated the discussion.
The Bible, both Old and New TeStaments,
puts woman In subordinate position, and
most of the great philosophers are little
kinder to her. Even in Eden, woman Is a
mere helpmate to man, and she Is expressly
placed under his dominion at the time of
the expulsion from the Garden. st. Paul
enjoinS women to be submissive to their
husbands, and imposes silence and passivity
on them in matters of church government
and doctrine.
Plato's advocacy OF social and political
equality for women is the most famous
break in the solid front of the ancientS
against feminine equality. In the Republic,
Socrates says:
There is no special faculty of adj
ministration in a state which a woman
has because she is a woman. or which
man has by virtue of his sex. but the gifts
of nature are alike diffused in both; all
the pursuits Of men are the pursuits of
women also with allowances made for
differences in physical strength"
Aristotle, who represents the typical
ancient view, rejected Plato's doctrine He
considers the male naturally superior: the
female, for him, is kind of mutilated
male, suffering from a natural deficiency.
Aristotle is quite sure that the man should
command in the household and elsewhere.
Among modern writer's, John Stuart
Mill agrees with Plato on the right Of
women to political equality. Rousseau,
however, thinks that her proper sphere Of
influence is in the home, where she may
impel recalcitrant males through sweet
persuasiveneSs to follow the paths Of duty
and virtue. Milton, Of course, holds to the
Biblical doctrine of male superiority. and
dominance. And RabelaiS' Panurge agrees

Care Can Help
Reduce Egg Breakage

Many egg producers lose as
much as 10 percent more of their
eggs through breakage, according
to Ray Lloyd, County Agriculture
Agent. Attention to small details in
producing and marketing can add
much to produce r's in com es
through reduced egg breakage.
Mr.. Lloyd says this problem can
be largely overcome if producers
will follow a few simple rules.
Crowded nesting conditions, in
frequent gathering and improper
handling are the most common
causes of egg breakage. These pro-
blems can be largely overcome by
providing an average of 25 nests
for every 100 hens and by gather
ing the eggs at least three times a
day. Each nest should contain at
least two inches of nesting mater
ial.
Never overload baskets, and dis
tribute the eggs evenly in the bas-
ket to prevent rolling and cracking.
Not over 10 dozen eggs should be
put in each basket, 100 eggs is
even better.
Pack Jumbo and Extra Large
eggs separately rather than in the

in this crime and especially the
professional shoplifters who have
long records of previous convic-
lions for this offense. The bill
would amend Chapter of Title IL,
Delaware Code.
The c. of G. also approved for
passage in the State Legislature
Senate Bill 1913 which would a
mend Chapter of Title IL, Della
ware Code. Passage of the bill is
favored because shOplifting has
become very serious problem for
retailers generally especially with
the open-type displays that are
found in most stores today, in the
opinion of the Chambers members.
During the discussion on the bill,
it was pointed out that under our
present laws relating to larceny
retailers who attempt to recover
stolen merchandise by OBTAINING
shoplifters or suspected shOplifters
while they are in the merchants
stores risk a charge of false ar
rest or unlawful detention and also
expose themselves to civil action
for damages. This bill, it was mem
toned, would correct this cOndi-
ton by making it possible for any
peace officer or merchant, who has
probable cause for believing that
the crime of shoplifting has been
committed, to detain the offender
or suspect in reasonable manner
and for a reasonable length of time
in an effort to regain any merchan-
disc that may have been stolen
without being criminally or civilly
liable for false arrest, false i'm
prisOnment or unlawful detention.
