Science Needs Democracy Professor Tells Sociology Club
Science can co-exist with any type of government, but thrives only in a democracy, Dr. Ernest Manheim, chairman of the sociology department at the University of Kansas City, Kansas City, Mo., told the Sociology club Thursday.
"The politician has great ideas and knows how to put them across," said Dr. Manheim in his speech entitled "The Sociologist and Politics." "The politician will ask for information from the scientist, but he will evaluate this information in the light of his experiences.
"Sociology is the youngest of the social sciences. There are no light bulbs or cures for diseases to prove the worth of this science. The sociologist is under pressure for he reports the facts as he sees them. These facts may run counter to the interests of the community. The Kinsley report was on the whole a very meritorious work, yet its findings were contrary to the standards of the community."
Dr. Manheim said that science can only advance in free countries, for in order to advance scientists need to be able to communicate their findings with each other. He likened the present state of sociology with that of the youth of any science when the main concern of the science is the finding and reporting of the facts. Generalization and interpretation will come later in the life of sociology he said.
Dr. Manheim is the holder of two doctor of philosophy degrees. One in sociology and the other is anthropology. He has been a professor at the University of Kansas City since 1938.
Physical education majors should do graduate work before starting to teach, was the opinion of a round-table discussion Thursday at a meeting of Sasnak, physical education club. Faculty members and students in the department took part in the Recruitment.
Sasnak Roundtable Discusses Jobs
When applying for a job, we decided personality and appearance are an important factor considered by a prospective employer," reported Nancy Moore, club secretary.
Placement bureaus help students get jobs. Besides those in the school itself, both state and teachers' organizations operate bureaus. State bureaux offer free services by teachers' bureaus charge a commission.
Plans were discussed for a dinner to be held in February at the Kansas room of the Union. Margaret Moyer, education senior, Frank Renfroe, education freshman, and Ada Watson, education sophomore were appointed to sell tickets. Nancy Moore, education jr., was appointed chairman of a committee to plan a membership drive to coincide with the ticket sales. Miss Moyer, Miss Watson and Gerald Peterson, College senior were named to assist her in the campaign.
It was also suggested that the club renew the newsletter which discontinued when the war broke out. The newsletter, which is sent to all graduates of the department, would be published annually.
Next It May Be Only 11 1-6 RPM
New York—(U.P.)—Frank M. Folsom, president of the Radio Corporation of America, has announced that R.C.A. Victor will introduce a new nonbreakable, long-playing record of the 33% rpm variety about Wednesday, March 1.
Mr. Folsom explained that R.C.A.
Victor wants to make its library of recorded music available to all types of record players. In line with this policy he pointed out that the R.C.A.
Victor 1950 line of radio-television-phonograph combinations includes many models that play all three speeds of records—45, 78 and $33\%$ rpm.
"The '45' is here to stay and is destined to lead all other types of recorded music," Mr. Folsom said. We will continue to record both classical and popular selections on the 45-rpm records," he added.
Army Checks UP Dispatch
Tokyo, Jan. 6—(U.P.)The U.S. Army today began an investigation of how a state department document writing off Formosa "apparently fell" into the hands of United Press correspondent Earnest Hoberecht.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced a few hours earlier that he had ordered the investigation. Investigators questioned several correspondents. Among them were Tom Lambert of the Associated Press and Howard Handleman of the International News service.
Hoberecht's dispatch Wednesday touched off a storm of criticism by Republican congressmen in Washington of U.S. foreign policy in China. Sen. William F. Knowland (R., Calif.) demanded that Secretary of State Dean Acheson make public immediately full details of the document reported by the United Press.
In his announcement MacArthur said that "apparently a number of copies (of the directive) were mailed from Washington with insufficient security safeguards direct to several subordinate activities here dealing with publicity and dissemination of information. It is possible one of these fell into the hands of the correspondent."
The investigation was ordered shortly after MacArthur and Dr. Philip C. Jessup, United States roving ambassador, were notified of President Truman's statement in Washington. In that statement Mr. Truman said that the U.S. will not arm the Chinese Nationalists or otherwise help them defend Formosa from the Chinese Communists.
An aide handed Jessup several United Press dispatches on Mr. Truman's statement during a briefing for Jessup by MacArthur's staff on occupation and military problems confronting America in the Far East. When the conference ended Jessup avoided waiting correspondents by A.M. Spokesman said "Dr. Jessup has no reason to make any changes, in his remarks made at yesterday's press conference."
At his press conference Jessup had declared that the United States does have a definite Far East policy which opposes the overthrow of governments by force or subversion.
American action in the Far East, Jessup said, would be based on the principle of the open door, or opposition to the carving up of China by Russia or any other power.

Early Indians Gave Much To World, Smith Says

Navy Offers Summer Cruises
Eighteen training cruises during 1950 have been scheduled for naval reserve officers and enlisted men living in Southern and Middle Western states, the bureau of naval personnel recently announced.
All of the cruises, which have billets for 850 officers and 13.000 enlisted men, will sail from New Orleans, La., aboard destroyers of squadron 12.
Organized reserve members in naval districts six, eight, and nine are eligible for paid training duty on the cruises. Volunteer reserve members may take the training duty, within authorized quotas, but will receive no pay for the period. Applications for the cruises should be made to district commandants.
District six has commandant headquarters at Charleston, S. C., and includes the state south of Tennessee and North Carolina. Commandant headquarters of district eight is in New Orleans, La., and has charge of naval personnel in Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. District nine, with headquarters at Great Lakes, Ill., includes the Middle West from Ohio and Kentucky west to Colorado, Wyoming, and North Dakota.
Call K.U. 251 With Your News
Speaking before 20 members of the national history fraternity Professor Smith explained that the Indians, living relatively isolated, created an almost controlled laboratory for the archaeologists that followed.
He said that camp sites of the first Indian culture have been found 8 to 12 feet below the present earth's surface, giving evidence that it lived 15,000 years ago. Atomic research is being applied by a process of breaking down carbon in the soil to determine the years that past cultures existed.
"The term American Indian refers to all native inhabitants of North, South, and Central America except the Eskimo," he said.
"If the new world had not been discovered," the professor explained, "the world might now be without beans, cashew nuts, coaco, tobacco, tomatoes, sweet and white potatoes, peanuts, and new world cotton."
Next summer University archaeologists, headed by Professor Smith, who is assistant curator of the Museum of Natural History, plan to excavate Indian village sites on the Creek Indian reservation, S.D.
Colonel Sextant, Ft. Leavenworth,
will speak at the next meeting of
Phi Alpha Theta in the East room of
