Kofoed Lays Groundwork For ‘Brave New World9 At IRC
“Tolerance, understanding and resistance to fear is the groundwork on which to build the ‘brave; new world’,” declared Jack Kofoed, Miami Herald columnist, ait the International Relations club meeting Tuesday evening. ;
Mr. Kofoed expressed a lack of faith in the political leadership of the world at the present time.: He pointed out that Prime
Minister David Atlee’s government
has not lived up to expectations; that there has not been much of a change in policy from that of the Churchill cabinet. France’s De Gaulle has not the scope or vision for world political leadership in Mr. Kofoed’s opinion, and he stated that our government is lacking a strong, unified leadership.
“I have not much faith in the political leaders, but I do have faith in humanity, the average man, “d young people like you,” Kofoed t°ld the dub audience. “If that “brave new world’ is to come about, « is the young people who will do it*
Mr. Kofoed stressed the import-
ance of inculcating proper values in the youth of today.
“A study of history and economics is Cot the only way to develop the proper values,” stated Kofoed, “an uru’e: standing of one’s fellow human being is the thing.”
Mr. Kofoed suggests that this understanding begins with trying to understand the people you know.
“'hie average person is pretty average whether he is a Pole, a Czefch, or an American,” said Kofoed.
Quoting the late President Roose-vel\ Kofoed said that the only thing to fear is fear, and right from the beginning “fear” is the thing “you hare to beat.”

Student Rehearses Strategy For ‘Battle of Registration9
By MARVIN GREEN
Once more the "Battle of Registration” looms upon the horizon, a forboding menace. As early as last term, I -have been experimenting with methods to counteract this evil, but to no avail, apparently.
At that time, I thought I had solved the first problem which was —How to keep from getting vericose veins and premature baldness while standing around the building and rotunda awaiting my turn to register. This, in itself, was a tough nut to crack, but I finally concocted a fiendish scheme.
After getting out my trial schedule, I darted over to a line in front of an already overburdened and weary professor and waited and waited. I finally reached him. Together, we hatched up a schedule that suited both of us to a “T.” Now to get it verified before—but it was too late. A gentleman who
bore a remarkable resemblance to Thomas E. Dewey mounted the podium, grasped the gavel firmly, gave three resounding raps and gravely announced:
“Close English 102-A, Accounting 102-C, and Typing 101-B.”
From then on, I decided that if Dewey ever ran for the presidency again, I would become a staunch Democrat. Thoroughly dejected and wondering if it were really worth all this, I headed back to await my turn with the professor once more. Suddenly I found myself next to a character with dark glasses and up-turned coat collar who started talking to me in undertones.
“Hey, bud, how about takin’ English Lit. 201-A and economics 131? You can’t miss, bud. Ya gotta’ good instructor and small competing field in each. You’re sure to come in ahead by ‘A’ plus.”
The tout interested me, and I kept his suggestions in the back of my head—just in
