Practice Teaching For 26 Kansas Seniors
Twenty-six education seniors are gaining teaching experience in schools in the area by practicing under the guidance of professional teachers during the first seven weeks of this semester.
The student teachers began their duties Sept. 22 and will continue until Nov. 7. They will then return to classes at the University.
As the student progresses, he or she is left on his own by the regular instructor at the school. Normally, the practice teacher spends three or four hours in his major field, and one in his minor.
During the seven weeks, the teachers, in 13 nearby schools this semester, are visited by supervisors from the University.
Elementary education is being taught by Susan Bagby at Prairie Village; Emma Lou Birdbank, Westwood View; Betty Frazier, Roseland; Wanda Hall, Topeka; Lois Ann Meils, Westwood View, and Joan Salisbury, Topeka. The supervisor for these students is Dr. Charles Johnson.
Teaching music are Ray Glover, Highland Park; Jewell Huckaby, Shawnee-Mission high and Hickory Grove elementary; Philip McCarty, Topeka; William McClelland, Topeka; Jeannine Ralston, Shawnee-Mission and Hickory Grove, and Dorothy Twente, Topeka. Supervisors are Mr. Gerald M. Carney for the high schools and Dr. Elin Jorgensen for the elementary schools.
Teaching physical education are William Anders, Shawnee-Mission;
Robert Dula, Highland Park; David Fisher, Lawrence Junior High, and Vinita Bradshaw, Topeka. Supervisor for the men is Mr. R. R. Strait and for the women, Miss Joie Stapling.
Those teaching language arts are Wilbur Goodseal, Highland Park; Joanne Sterrett, Central Junior High in Kansas City, Kan., and Kenneth Wegner, Shawnee-Mission, with Dr. Oscar Haugh the supervisor.
Art is being taught by Patricia Harris, Topeka, and Dorothy Phelps, Topeka, with Miss Maud Ellsworth the supervisor.
Teaching social studies are Ailie Deem, Northwest Junior High in Kansas City, Kan., and Lloyd Lockwood, Roosevelt Junior High, Topeka. Dr. Alvin Schild is the supervisor.

Living with an artist isn't what it's cracked up to be.
I thought it would be exciting, sort of a cultural experience. Instead I find living with George is more of a trial by patience.
The main qualification for an artist's roommate seems to be a real yen to hand out criticism.
An artist's homework consists of the drawing of countless little sketches. It follows that the roommate's function is to offer constructive criticism on each of these sketches.
"Hey Rog." (George always begins this way).
"Yes George?"
"How's this one?
"Fine, what is it?"
"Yes George:
"How's this one?"
True, what is it?
"It is a tree-dwelling elephant visiting a South African salt lick at three in the afternoon."
"Oh. I think it shows a great deal of sensitivity."
That usually satisfies him. It sounds easy but there is a flaw in the system. I enjoy criticizing as much as the next person but I have homework too. I even have to concentrate on mine.
Last night, for example, I had half a law dictionary to memorize, two centuries of American journalistic history to digest and a 2,000-word theme to write. I knew right away I was going to be busy.
I anticipated trouble from George and thought up a couple of good comments before I started to study. When the inevitable came I was prepared. I held out for almost two hours before he got wise.
A long list of juicy adjectives which I am now preparing may help me lick this little wrinkle. I'm going to post it over my desk for quick, out-the-corner-of-the-e ye references.
The big give-away seems to be my lack of depth in adjectives. The same descriptive praise used twice in one evening leads to immediate suspicion that I am faking both interest and appreciation.
One nice thing about living with George is that he appreciates good writing. I wish he would lay down that silly brush and check this article for me.

Problems of Leisure Time Aired by Sociology Professor
Problems involved in the utilization of leisure time for beneficial activities were discussed by Prof. Seba Eldridge in a "Sociology on the Air" broadcast Sunday.
Prof. Eldridge said that one of the chief problems facing the United States today is effective utilization of potential genius and talent. He admitted that a poor environment could cause misplaced occupations, but said that "stimulus, opportunity, and appreciation of the potential genius from the earliest years" was the main solution.

Prof. Eldridge asserted that adults are increasingly spending more and more free time on ready-made pleasures as provided by movies, television, automobiles, etc., and are spending much less time in practicing citizenship and community membership. He pointed out that this situation was produced by

The selection of five radio announcers for KFKU and KANU from a group of 13 finalists was announced today.
5 Announcers Picked For KFKU, KANU
Those accepted are John White, graduate student; Jeff Kennedy, college junior; Ralph Swant, engineering sophomore; Bill Thompson, engineering junior, and Dave Hicks, college junior.

The Red Cross bloodmobile will be at the Lawrence Community building Oct. 30 and 31, to collect a quota of 300 pints of blood for the fighting forces in Korea.
Donate Blood Oct.30, 31
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, blood chairman for the county Red Cross, said it is important that the quota be met. With the increase of fighting in Korea, more blood is needed. Most of the blood given at the drive will be in Korea T2 hours after the donation, he said.
Prof. Eldridge said that developments have reached the point where many people receive income from slightly skilled work, which is "hardly satisfying in itself and not educative in the better sense" and formulate a "getting-and-spending" philosophy of life.
A community wide campaign has been started to recruit the 384 donors necessary to fulfill the quota. There will be no street campaigning. However there will be a concentrated telephone drive on previous donors.
Only 223 pints of blood were given by Lawrence at the last drive in July. The quota then was also 300 pints.
Students and faculty members wishing to donate blood are asked to call the Red Cross office in the Community building, phone 405. Persons between the ages of 18 and 59 are eligible, unless they have had yellow jaundice. Unmarried persons under 21 must have a written parental consent.

Air Force Answers Marines Criticism
Washington—(U.P.)—Irked Air Force officers today cited praise by Generals Mark W. Clark and James A. Van Fleet to counter an assertion by Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd Jr., Marine Corps commandant, that the Koeran air effort is a "fizzle."
Expressions of "satisfaction" and $ \circled{8} $
Expressions by the President "gratitude" by the East and 86% of members during a just-ended battlefield visit of Air Secretary Thomas K. Finlester were quoted to counter Shepherd's criticism of the U.S. air campaign.
1. Van Fleet told Finletter the Communists have not got the strength for a sustained major offensive, although they can carry out limited actions.
Shepherd, intentionally or not, picked open old unification sores when he told a news conference late yesterday that operation "strangle" is "recognized as a fizzle." Strange was the name given the Air Force-devised effort to knock out Communist supply and communications lines.
The operation has been the major United Nations military effort against the Reds since August, 1951, shortly after the truce talks started.
Shepherd, who returned recently from a Far East tour, said that despite the intensive air raids, the Reds used the lull in ground fighting to build defensive supplies, and of course questionably are "capable of offensive action."
Finletter will get a chance to comment on Shepherd's assertions at a news conference tentatively set for tomorrow. Air Force officers meanwhile sought to make these points;
2. Nobody has claimed operation strangle would end the war or cut off the Reds' supplies 100 per cent, although Van Fleet at one point described a big boost in air power as the "cheapest" way to force an armistice agreement.
3. The object was to prevent the enemy from getting into position to launch sustained offensives. He has launched none that he could sustain for more than a week since the United Nations forces recoiled from the first Chinese onslaught in the winter of 1950-51.
First Faculty Recital Set for Monday
4. With little combat action until recently, when they have attacked in division strength, the Reds were able to stockpile supplies that did get through the air blockade. Those dumps now are under attack.
Irene Peabody, mezzo-soprano will present the first faculty recital of the year, sponsored by the School of Fine Arts at 8 p.m. Monday in Strong auditorium.
Miss Peabody will be accompanied by Mrs. Winifred Gallup, pianist. There will be no admission charge. Miss Peaboot will adjust tuition in Kansas did advance study with Charles W. Clark, Harriet van Emden, Kurt Schindler, Isaac Van Grove, Herman Devries, Richard Hageman, and Conrad Bos.
UMW Endorses Gov. Stevenson
Cincinnati—(L.P)—John L. Lewis hew his United Mine Workers to the side of Adlai E. Stevenson today and announced he would take the itump in behalf of the Democratic presidential nominee.
His big political push came as delegates to the UMW's 41st convention here tackled problems of wages—an issue that has already sent 5,000 miners on strike in the coal fields of Alabama, Kentucky, Illinois, and West Virginia.
The UMW president said he would speak in support of Gov. Stevenson and Democratic candidates for the senate and governorship in West Virginia. The first speech is scheduled Saturday in Charleston and a second the following Saturday in Morgantown.
The 2.805 convention delegates shouted their approval of Gov. Stevenon here yesterday after John L. Lewis announced his support and condemned the candidacy of GOP nominee Dwight D. Eisenhower.
John L. Lewis' open support came after a secret meeting three days ago with Jacob M. Arvey Chicago Democratic chief and committeeman from Illinois.
It was the first time in 16 years the UMW had endorsed a candidate, the last being Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936. John L. Lewis, as head of both the CIO and UMW, supported Wendell Willkie in 1940, but the UMW made no endorsement.
Demos Plan Vote Drive
"Get out the vote" became the theme of the Young Democrats last week as they laid the groundwork for their part in the coming election.
Something different in political rallies appears in prospect for the student body, Bob Wallace, president, said. The group meeting Thursday suggested a joint rally with the Young Republicans prior to the presidential preference balloting Oct. 28, sponsored by The Daily Kansan.
An invitation to participate in such a project will be sent the Young Republicans, Walker said. The date of the rally will be determined later.
The preference balloting is being sponsored to determine student opinion toward the presidential candidates.
Sen. McCarthy Walks Out On Debate with Publisher
Las Vegas—(U.P.)—A radio address by Sen. Joseph McCarthy was cut short last night when he walked out on the broadcast rather than debate with a Las Vegas newspaper publisher whom he accused of being an ex-Communist.
Sen. McCarthy accused Hank Greenspun, publisher of the Las Vegas Sun, of being an admitted ex-Communist. Publisher Greenspun, present in the audience of 1,000 which crowded into War Memorial, promptly stood up and asked that he be given a chance to answer the charge.
Sen. McCarthy, who had been speaking over a statewide radio hookup in behalf of the candidacy of Republican Sen. George Malone of Nevada, said Publisher Greenspun could speak after he had finished his radio talk.
While standing in the audience, the publisher called Sen. McCarthy "the most vicious type of demagogue" and said the Communist charge against him was "the greatest lie ever told by McCarthy."
Five minutes before Sen. McCarthy finished his radio talk, Publisher Greenspun made his way to the speakers stand and again asked to be heard.
Sen. McCarthy, however, said he did not care to debate anything with the publisher and picked up a 10-gallon hat which was presented him earlier and walked out of the hall.
Publisher Greenspun then proceeded to talk for 27 minutes over the air, charging that McCarthy voted the "straight party line along with the Daily Worker" in regards to foreign policy.
Earlier, Sen. McCarthy called Publisher Greenspun's newspaper the "local Daily Worker." The Sun is supporting Democrat Thomas Mechling, who seeks Malone's senate seat.
