UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1950 PAGE EIGHT Fast Speedster Will Race Again At Bonneville Wendover, Utah, March 9—(U.P.) George E. T. Eyston, veteran British racing driver and former holder of the world's land speed record, announced Wednesday that he hopes to race again this summer on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Mr. Eyston asked the Bonneville Speedway association for racing rights to three closed course, five-mile diameter tracks, to be used as soon as winter rain and snow evaporates from the unique saline flats. Gus P. Backman, secretary of the association, promptly granted Mr. Eyston the necessary permission and assigned the British speedster top rights for the summer—except during the third week of August when American hot-rod drivers have a reservation for the salt flats. Mr. Backman said he did not know just what type of car Mr. Eyston would use in this year's runs, but "apparently it will be a small one if he just wants five mile tracks." It was obvious from Mr. Eyston's request that he did not plan any further assault on the measured mile record, now held by John Cobb at 394.196 miles an hour. Mr. Eyston, now 54, has been a race driver more than 30 years since he began speed dashes on motorcycles. In 1937, he drove a racer of his own design—the "Thunderbolt" — through Bonneville's measured mile twice at an average speed of 312.2 MPH to gain the world's speed title by breaking the late Malcolm Campbell's mark of 301 MPH. In 1938, Mr. Eyston and Mr. Cobb, another Britisher, staged a thrilling duel on the speedway, racing on alternate days until Mr. Eyston pushed the record to 357.5. Mr. Cobb took the crown the next year at 368.58. It remained there until Mr. Cobb's first post-war run in 1947 that set the present record—including a northbound speed of 408.125 MPH, the fastest man has ever traveled on land. He Took Life Too Serious Detroit—(U.P.)—Frank M. Curtis, a 51-year-old bookkeeper, wrote a note to his wife saying, "I have come to hate my job and become lazy. Please forgive me." Then he jumped from a bridge into the Detroit river. His body was found an hour later. Ise, Woodruff Debate Education By DON ROBERSON The American people are totally incapable of solving the present world problems because our social education is so poor. Dr. John Ise, professor of economics, told International club members and guests Wednesday night. "Universities do a pretty rotten job of teaching us the things we really need" he asserted. Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, and Luis Lemus, special student in education from Guatemala, defended the American educational system from the attacks made by Dr. Ise and Ariel Rivlin, student from Israel. Dr. Ise continued his barrage with the statement that American colleges are too specialized. "The American university is nothing but an organization of trade schools," he explained. Dr. Ise charged that the lack of American cultural education was the foremost fault in our present university system. "The American world is interested in money and cosmetics rather than culture," he exclaimed. Teaching human relationships and social sciences in American colleges is criticized by American society because they consider it more important that Junior be taught how to tie his tie or make introductions," he declared. As an illustration, Dr. Ise said that America picked the most fascistic regime in the world, China, and supported her with 4 billion dollars, thereby incurring the dislike of every existing democracy." We pulled every boner in the books," he observed. "The American idea of the ideal citizen is a man who either has no brains or doesn't know how to use them," Dr. Ise concluded. Mr. Rivlin added to Dr. Ise's charges with the statement that the American people lack the initiative to develop new systems of education and that they are extreme in their desires for the less important things." All the American student wants out of a course is a grade," he said, "what they learn in the course is not considered." Dr. Woodruff conceded some of the charges made by Dr. Ise and Mr Rivlin, but said that a different system would be hard to follow because of the American philosophy of education. "America has the greatest socialistic device in the world in its educational system," he said. "We're trying to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people by providing education for everyone. If the teaching is bad it is the people who have been doing it for the last thirty years that are to blame," he retorted, looking directly at Dr. Ise. Mr. Lemus pointed out that while the American educational system is not perfect, it has many vindications. American educational specialization enables people of this country to make use of what they learn, he said, whereas the people of Spinach A Favorite With Kent Students Kent, Ohio—(U.P.) — Students at Kent State university have given spinach a pat on the back to make up for mean things that have been said about it. Ernestine Williams, dietician in charge of the five Kent campus dining halls, reported that the green stuff ranks high among the favorite foods of undergraduates. She said they also love milk and gulp it down at about a quart a day per capita, in half-pint containers. Besides, they eat a third of a gallon of ice cream a week.

"Education in the United States is more specialized, more practical, and more subject to the layman's wants," he concluded. Samson, Ala.—(U.P.) — Two sisters found that it's not such a small world, or even a small state, after being re-united with an older half-sister they hadn't seen for 70 years. Mrs. E. P. Nelson and Mrs. E. W. Nelson of Samson met Mrs. Jerry Lomaster of Dotham for the first time since 1880 at a family reunion. All three have lived in Alabama all their lives. Latin America are too pretentious and are satisfied with a superior knowledge of cultural theory. Reheecha. Gaa—(U,P)—Joe Lami-nack has just about broken his mule of the notion that she is the mother of a young calf. Laminack said the mule took over the calf soon after it was born. Laminack had to pull the mule away from the calf by force. Then he locked the cow and calf in a barn. The mule patrolled the barn, peping through cracks and truing to coax out the calf. A mule is a cross between a horse and a donkey. Mules rarely have offspring. $98.50 Pay 2.00 weekly 3 Pc Sectional Sofa Group Mohair Frieze $ _{1/2} $ Price Read the University Daily Kansan—Patronize Its Advertisers.
