The Sphere of Human Powers That The powers at work in the world today arc innumerably varied. Some produce immediate results while others have been slowly working for years and are just this year producing results. All have affected each of us in one way or another. The power of the desire for freedom has been slowly working over the years in Africa and has just this year effected the independence of the Congolese people from the Belgian government. Internal struggle, caused by the desire for power and authority, has characterized the Congo ever since. Tremendous power, compactly stored, has enabled the Russians to send a seven-ton rocket into outer space headed toward the planet Venus. This almost unbelievable amount of power stored in a relatively small amount of space will certainly affect our future and our prospect of outer space exploration. The power of Communism is working constantly in almost every country in the world. It has gained inroads in Cuba and has directly interfered with American-Cuban relations. In other countries, it is also working indirectly to achieve its expressed goal of world domination. On the national level, this has been an election year. This year the people came to the polls in large numbers to use their power to vote, to freely choose their leaders. This power brought Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts into the presidency, and Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas into the vice presidency. The power of jet transportation, now available to everyone, is a source of great speed. We can now go from here to New York in the almost unbelievably short time of two hours. The power of research has led to many technological advances as well as advances in the field of medicine. New anti-blood clotting drugs have made surgery for heart patients safer and have reduced the? chances of heart attacks occurring. Research has also made possible a new electrical anesthesia which puts the patient to sleep, keeps him under for as long as the current remains constant, and permits him to awaken within sixty seconds after the current is turned off. Exercising their power to vote, the people of Minnesota chose Elmer Anderson to be their new governor. Our former governor, Orville Freeman, was chosen by President Kennedy to serve on the president’s cabinet as the secretary of agriculture. Here at Minnehaha many forces have been at work and have effected many changes. The power of representation has been put to work in the student council this year. This power enabled the students to take care of their problems in an orderly manner. Various lunchroom and hall clean-up campaigns were carried out to a very high degree of success. This power also enabled the students to change Sno-Day into a one-day affair as they felt it ought to lx and to voice their opinions to the adminis- Great Powers I
