Describes Early Mexican Culture
Prof. George Kubler of the department of art history at Yale university, discussed "Renaissance Humanism in Mexico, 1520-1800." Tuesday night in Fraser theater. Approximately 100 persons were present.
The lecture, the last in the Humanities series, was illustrated with slides.
Professor Kubler said that members of the Dominican, Franciscan and Augustinian orders had much to do with the shaping of Mexico culture during this period.
He told of a catechism published in 1549 which did much to convert the faith of the Indians in Mexico. Sir Thomas More's "Utopia" also was an important book in the Mexican culture of that period.
Professor Kubler explained that a change in the educational policy occurred in 1536 when the College of Holy Cross was opened north of Mexico City. This school provided an education for 300 children. They studied Latin, history and music as well as other subjects.
From 1550 to 1560 the practical approach to knowledge was used.In this decade the appearance of the classical form of architecture was made.
Flemish painting and architecture apparently had an effect on Mexican art of this period, said Professor Kubler.
The new All Student Council was seated Tuesday night. Its first action was to hear the first reading of a bill to do away with the salaries of the president, secretary, and treasurer of the A.S.C. The president bill would strike out $ \textcircled{4} $
New ASC Is Seated, Considers Bill To End Student Wages
The proposed bill would strike on sections two and three of A.S.C. Bill 14 which provide for a salary of $12 to be paid to the executives of the Council for every month of the school year.
Logan announced that he would appoint Edward Chapin, journalism senior, as chairman of a committee to carry out the drive.
"Service to the student body should be based on what you can do for the students, not on collecting $12 at the first of the month," said Chester Lewis, College and law senior. The bill will be read again voted on at the next A.S.C. meeting.
Three justices and the prosecutor for the Student court were appointed by Logan and approved unanimously by the A.S.C. Paul Wolf, second-year law student, was named prosecutor, and Loy Kipkpatrick and Roy Zimmerman, College sophomores, and Thomas Reynolds, College junior, were appointed justices. The prosecutor will serve for one year and the justices for two.
The action came after an hour-and-fifteen minute meeting by the retiring Council. Melvin Clingan, out-going president, swore in James Logan, new president, who in turn swore in the new Council members.
The Council unanimously voted to back a scholarship fund drive for 6-year-old Ronnie Ewert, whose parents, Prof. and Mrs. Walter E. Ewert, were killed in an automobile accident in Iowa April 11. Professor Ewert was the faculty advisor to the University Daily Kansan.
Orinne Gray, College freshman Frank Exter, engineering senior; and Lyle Anderson, College sophomore, were appointed to the disciplinary committee.
"With a member from Mortar Board, Sachem, and two faculty advisors, the committee reviews all cases of expulsion or the taking away of grade points or credit hours," Logan explained.
The A.S.C. president read two letters to the Council. The first was from Chancellor Deane W. Malott answering the F.A.C.T.S. petition to raise student wages. Chancellor Malot stated that he felt student wages were too low, and that the
The second letter was from the board of regents, and stated that they would be happy to have a committee of not more than five students to help them in the selection of a new chancellor for the University. The student committee will be chosen immediately, said Logan.
wages of library employees wou be raised next year.
William Wilson, engineering sophomore, protested the recently announced raise in University fees.
Donald Dirks, College sophomore, Wilson, and Beverly Barnhardt; fine arts freshman, and Otis Simmons; education junior, were appointed to see the board of regents about both the raise and the difference in proportion.
"Why do out-of-state students have to pay three times what Kansas students are going to pay by the raise? They are paying only two times as much as Kansans pay now," he said. "Kansas students are paying $10 more, out-of-staters $30 more. The raise in fees was not figured proportionately."
Robert Casad, chairman of the committee on committees, announced the following new committee chairmen: elections committee, Donald Dirks; finance, Dean Werries, business junior; auditing, Lyle Anderson; publicity, William Stinson, engineering junior.
Charter, Chester Lewis; traditions, Thomas Murphey, College junior; public relations, Orinne Gray; social, Beverly Barnhardt; parking, Frank Exter, and smoking, James Martin, College junior.
New members of the A.S.C. not present were Exter, Richard Bradley, engineering junior, and Charles Crawford, business junior.
Before the old Council adjourned, they appropriated $115 to Upstream magazine to wipe out a deficit, with the provision that Upstream turn in a financial report on its next issue to the new Council.
The Powers That Be' Opened Tuesday In Green Hall Theater
"We can't let students bear the brunt of the debt," said Roger Davis, first-year law student. "F.A.C.T.S. will not charge Pachacamac if this appropriation puts the old Council in the red."
Bv BILL DICKINSON
An original play, "The Powers That Be," opened Tuesday evening in the Little theater of Green hall. William Sollner, graduate in education, wrote, directed, and produced it.
"The Powers That Be" is the story of the persecution of a small-town high school teacher, who innocently uses "subversive material" in teaching and thereby offends the town's leaders. The teacher's struggle to uphold his ideals despite interference and coercion is the conflict of the play.
The play is superior drama. Sollier has presented a commonplace subject in a new and revealing manner. He has carefully portrayed his characters and avoided tite staging devices by relying on a substantial plot and subject.
Sollner, in his successful attempt to justify the principles of democratic method in education, has made an important contribution to the theater and to the educational field.
As the present controversy rages over alleged Communist teachers in our school systems, his play comes as a timely warning that liberal methods of education may be falsely misconstrued as "undemocratic."
Performances are scheduled through Friday at 8:00 p.m. in the Little theater of Green hall.
Others in the cast are Phyllis Clegg, education senior; Maxine LeRow and Margaret Gowans, education juniors; Bob Ziesenis, College junior; Jerry Knudson, Vernie Theoden, Wayne Knowles, Jack Pickerman, Mark Minman, Colleen freshmen. Characterization is excellent throughout.
Wilson O'Connell, College senior, is excellent as the idealistic school-teacher, Joe Simmons. Dan Palmquist, instructor in speech and drama, is superb as a complacent teacher who overcomes cowardice to come to Simmons's aid.
The old Council also voted not to appropriate $500 for a foreign student this year. Joseph Wimsatt, Council treasurer, suggested that the council use the money to set up a fund for foreign students at K.U. instead of using it to benefit only one person.
