Ise Discusses KU As Trade School
The University of Kansas is becoming more and more a trade school and not an institution in which to obtain a liberal education, according to John Ise, professor of economics, a member of the panel on "Liberal Education" at the Upstream dinner Sunday night.
Other members of the panel included M. D. Clubb, professor of English; Max Dresden, associate professor of Physics; Ann Ivester, college senior; John Gagliardi, college junior, and Ann Mari Buitrabo, graduate student. John Klewer, fine arts freshman, was the moderator.
Professor to Address Pre-Medical Society
Students are more interested in learning a trade than getting a liberal education, Prof. Ise said. Liberal education is taught in the college, and as the University has expanded from a college to the University with its different schools the trend is toward these schools.
L. R. Lind, chairman of the department of Latin and Greek, will present one of four addresses to be given in a program Dec. 28 discussing the role of the classics and the social sciences in pre-medical education.
The program is part of the national meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, to be held in St. Louis.
Mr. Lind's invitation is from H.E. Sutterfield, president of Alpha Epsilon Delta, national pre-medical honor society. It comes as a result of an article concerning the classics and medical schools published by Mr. Lind three years ago.

Concerto Highlights Concert
Bv KEN COY
Highlighted by a piano concerto played by Martha Heck, fine arts senior, the first symphony orchestra concert of the season was presented last night.
High spot of the hour and 40 minute program was Miss Heck's playing of "Concerto No. 1 in C Major," by Beethoven. She presented the concerto brilliantly in an effort that reflected a large amount of work.
A particularly impressive part of the concerto was the transition from the first movement to the second. Miss Heck accomplished this with great ease and exhibited an ability to change moods rapidly and effectively.
After the long and difficult piece
Mountain Air Rescue Fails
Americans are now buying canned meats at the rate of one and a half billion pounds annually.
San Bernadino, Calif.—(U.P.)—Air Force rescue officials abandoned attempts to reach a crashed C-47 transport high on snowcapped Mt. San Gorgonio by air today and launched a slow but steady ground expedition toward the wreckage.
Miss Heck answered three curtain calls. In the major orchestra work of the evening the orchestra played "Symphony No. 2 in D Major," by Brahms.
Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, showed his abilities as conductor particularly in this composition. He controlled the orchestra easily with little effort.
The orchestra also presented "Magic Flute Overture" by Mozart, and "Scherzo" from "A Midsummer Nights Dream," by Mendelssohn.
Although the audience was small, the program was well received.
