Other / martial arts | | Turkish term or phrase: kalem | | The following phrase appears on a university student survey, in answer to a question about what sorts of additional classes the student would like the university to offer: "savaş sanatları (kalem ve kılıç)." I have sometimes seen "kalem" translated as "knife," but I am not sure whether its presence with "kılıç" means something else. Any suggestions? Thank you. |

Here\ the student does not refer to the exact meaning of the passage. Also accepting this phrase in its direct meaning (martial arts) is unreasonable here.
Shortly, the student wants more courses like forums, brain storms, discussion groups etc. which will give them the opportunity of discussing and dealing with the latest issues.
To be able to fight with the words (polite intelligent attacks) and swords (impolite intelligent attacks)

"http://www.google.com.tr/search?hl=tr&q=pen and sword martia...
Pen and Sword deniyor.
yani şöyle: üniversiteler kalemle iş yapılan yerler olarak onların bünyesinde bir de savaş sanatları kursları düzenleniyor ve ikisi birlikte The Pen and The sword oluyor yani.
Mesela Oxford'Da the Pen and the sword martial arts academics var.
ya da Florida'da örneğin Pen and Sword Thai Chi kursu veriliyor yani kalem erbabının aynı zamanda savaş sanatlarıyla da ilgilenmesini ve kalem ve kılıcın yani savaş sanatının bir bedende bir araya gelmesini anlatıyor. kanımca bu
