In the extempore speaking section of the tournament Davis received two superior ratings and Koerper one superior and one excellent.
A two-month safety campaign aimed at reducing the number of driving accidents involving students begins today under the sponsorship of the Daily Kansan.
In discussion Davis, Koerper and Swander were given the tournament's highest possible rating and England was second highest.
The crusade will continue through the fall semester. This period will include seven school weeks and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. The emphasis will be divided between safety on the campus and safety during vacations.
Safety Drive Begins Today
The prize-winning safety film, "Last Date," will be shown on the campus in the near future. This movie was selected as the outstanding production of the year by the National Committee on Films for Safety.
Today the Daily Kansan is carrying other stories illustrating the importance of this effort.
The Daily Kansan is co-operating in this safety campaign with college newspapers throughout the country and the Lumbermen's Mutual Casualty company of Chicago.

the goal of a university is to develop a sense of personal responsibility, a sense of social responsibility and a sense of internal security for a young person, Dean Paul B Lawson of the College said Sunday.
Dean Speaks On Radio
Dean Lawson was the fifth speaker in the "Sociology on the Air" series sponsored by the department of sociology and anthropology and broadcast over KLWN.
"The first major aim is to develop people who can stand on their own feet—capable workmen who can assume full responsibility for their character." Dean Lawson said.
A sense of security within young people should be developed by college training, Dean Lawson said. "We are so security-conscious today that our young people are security mad. The only real security is the security within one's own being." Dean Lawson concluded. College life can show a young person how to "accomplish for himself" and this can bring about internal security, he declared.
Teaching people that they share in the fate of the whole of humanity is the second goal of education, he added. "The function of every university is to make graduates feel they have to do with the life of the community, of the state, of the nation."
The series has been heard in four states. Talks have been given this semester by Paul Lawson, dean of the College, John Ise, professor of economics, Esther Twente, professor of sociology, Seba Eldridge, professor of sociology, and Lawrence Bee, professor of home economics and sociology.
Murphy Speaks To Panhellenic
Other speakers scheduled for the remainder of the term are E. Jackson Beaur, E. Gordon Erickson, Nino Lo Bello, J. Eldron Fields, Carroll D. Clark and Carlyle S. Smith, all of the faculty, and former Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
The biggest job of the University is to turn out men and women who have a sense of individual responsibility, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said at a Panhellenic banquet Friday night.
Murphy To Give Sixth KLWN Sociology Talk
Dr. Murphy will answer a series of questions on general education. He will be interviewed by Carroll chairman of the sociology department.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy will be the sixth speaker in the "Sociology on the Air" series over station KLWN 9:45 a.m. Sunday.
There has been a loss of responsibility in old and young alike. The only way to learn responsibility is to take it. Dr. Murphy belies.
The programs, sponsored by the department of sociology and anthropology, distinguish the University as the first school in America to broadcast such a series over a commercial radio station.
He said the University is trying an experiment which will show that young women can take responsibility. "The freshman dormitory is the yeast in this experiment," he said.
"I hope we are setting up a system of cooperative management between faculty and students; a system which will recognize the student's matur-
"I personally am delighted in the way the freshman dormitory system is working." Dr. Murphy said.
Dr. Murphy hopes that all members of organized houses will feel a strong bond of loyalty to the University, not just to their houses. He hopes to see a strong bond of class loyalty.
"If the sororites and fraternities get behind the system, if the freshmen realize they are a part of the University, then the students will be demonstrating that they are interested in the entire University." Dr. Murphy said.

Model UN Discusses Iranian Oil Question
Disputes similar to the Iranian-British oil controversy are of interest to the entire world and not just an isolated problem for two nations to settle between themselves.
This idea was the high point reached by an assembly of nearly 250 high school students at the fifth annual model United Nations meeting Saturday in Strong auditorium. The meeting was attended by high school students from over the state.
Sponsored by the International club and University Extension, the meeting presented an opportunity for the students to see how the United Nations meetings are conducted.
Dr. Herman Chubb, professor of political science, said the United Nations was fulfilling successfully a new part in the world as an "instrument of international peace" and in the settling of disputes between nations.
University students made up a model general assembly. It was composed of delegates from Great Britain, Iran, France, India, and the United States. They discussed the Iranian oil question.
Delegates were John Davidson and Hugh McKenzie, graduate students, Great Britain; Cyrus Samii

By JOE TAYLOR
In a telephone interview, President Malott said his speech had been accurately reported and that apparently he and Harold Taylor, president of Sarah Lawrence college, had used the same source in preparing their material.
President Deane W. Malott of Cornell university, former Kansas university chancellor, today described the "Funny Coincidence Department" item from New Yorker which is reprinted on page 12 of today's Daily Kansan, as being "an unusual coincidence."
The former University chancellor stated that he thought that he had first come across the information
A report of his speech to the opening convocation in Hoch auditorium in September of 1949 quotes him as referring to Emerson and then saying:
He said that he had used ideas from it several times in speeches and articles while still at the University and prior to its use by President Taylor in 1949.
A similar_statement appeared in
"For most people the future is too alarming in its possibilities. Those who criticize always subtract—they never add... We never can be free and have to be careful of what we say."
The selection by President Taylor appeared in the Harvard Educational Review, Vol. 19, No. 2, 1949, under the title "The Student as a Responsible Person."
President Malott's recent address at Cornell.
The item in New Yorker by President Malott is an extract from an address delivered by him at his installation as head of Cornell Sept. 19, 1951. Before taking that position he served as chancellor of Kansas university for 12 years.
President Malott said that apparently Mr. Taylor was also familiar with the material and used it in his article.
President Malott said he did not know Mr. Taylor.
