Fields Cites Political Apathy
The meager activity of the citizen in the political realm was cited Sunday by J. Eldon Fields, associate professor of political science, in a talk over KLWN.
A survey of the cross-section of the public shows, Dr. Fields said, that nearly three-fourths of the adult population show a lack of participation in the political process.
"The major areas of personal success and expression in this country are outside the area of the political," he declared. "This holdover attitude on the non-essential character of political activity is carried over to the schools," often a place of preparation for future jobs and not for citizenship.
Dr. Fields said that there is a growing recognition in the social sciences, and today many students should learn how to participate in their community life.
His talk entitled, "General Education and the Citizen," was heard on the Sociology on the Air program sponsored by the department of sociology and anthropology.

Students passing the business office in Strong hall, might get the impression that it is moving out, but it's just a long awaited remodeling job.
Business Office Gets Face Lifting
Senior To Paint Large Union Mural
As winner of the contest, he will be commissioned to paint a mural 46 feet long and 56 inches high, by far the most ambitious one ever attempted here by a University student.
R. H. Wagstaff of the department of building and grounds, said that the floor of the office is being refinished and the inside is to be remodeled. Business will continue as usual.
Non-Stop Highway Planned From Atlantic To Chicago
Harry Crain, fine arts senior, has won first place among 40 entries in the Kansas Memorial Union mural competition.
Of the two other states that are planning the pay-as-you-drive highways, Ohio appears to be nearest construction. However, the state's turnip commission is still trying to get a 75,000-ton steel allocation from the federal government and the exact plan for tundra-raising has not been disclosed. The first steel request was turned down by defense Production Administration—a decision which the commission is appealing.
The final section of the eastwest super-road in Pennsylvania is still on the designing boards. It is expected to connect the present eastern terminus, 12 miles from Philadelphia, with the New Jersey turnipvia a new bridge at Morrisville—on the Delaware.
Several Ohio communities have let it be known that they will challenge the commission's right to route the Ohio toll road through their suburbs, among them Cleveland and Toledo.

The murat is to be for the Trail room, or what has been the fountain and grill on the basement floor of the Union building. Crain's winning design shows the various means of conveyance used on the historic Kan-sas trails with the head of Coronado shown in a mass of clouds in the distant sky.
Indiana authorities have started a court case to test constitutionality of the enabling legislation for the toll road the state has in the planning stage. Ohio courts upheld the legality of the Ohio law which was the model for the Indiana statute.
Since the south wall of the Trail room isn't ready for painting, Crain will paint the mural on canvas, which later will be cemented to the Trail room wall.
Almost 500 miles of state turnpikes in Pennsylvania and New Jersey will be open to traffic early this year, with plans for another 500 miles of similar super-roals well under way in Ohio and Indiana.

Harrisburg, Pa.—U.P.) Within the next few years motorists may be able to travel almost 1,000 non-stop miles on a concrete, four-lane concrete ribbon stretching from the east coast to Chicago.
Pennsylvania, which opened the first turnipke in the country in 1940, now has a 327-mile toll highway stretching east and west from a point near Philadelphia to the Ohio-Pennsylvania line. The original Pennsylvania toll road — a "guinea pig" for the others — was 160 miles long. The latest section, a 67-mile stretch from Pittsburgh to the Ohio boundary, was dedicated in late November.
Earlier in the month New Jersey cut the tape on the first 60-mile section of its new 118-mile "dream road" which will run from the Washington Bridge at Fort Lee in the north to the new Delaware River Bridge connecting New Jersey-Pennsylvania at Deepwater, N. J. in the south.
Tentative plans for the Indiana super-highway to be built across the northern part of the state to link with the Ohio road in the east and the tri-state highway in Hammond, Ind., in the west. The latter is a free highway running direct to downtown Chicago.
