Clubb Reports Education Need
General education at the University needs to be improved, according to the report of the chancellor's special committee on general education.

Clubb, professor of English; Domenico Gagliardo, professor of economics; Hilden Gibson, professor of political science; Max Dresden, associate professor of physics; Jacob Kleinberg, associate professor of chemistry; James Nickerson, associate professor of music education; Edward Robinson, associate professor of philosophy; Kenneth E.

Career Diplomat Arthur B. Lane Is KU Speaker
A career diplomat for 31 years, Arthur Bliss Lane will discuss the conflict between Stalin and Tito at convocation Monday. Nov. 14, in Hoch auditorium.
A Sunday afternoon trip to the moon is not a pleasure that we will enjoy in our lifetime.
Charged with protecting American citizens and American property interests in Poland, Mr. Lane was in Warsaw in 1945 specifically to report on the elections as provided in the Yalta and Potsdam decisions. Mr. Lane considers it his most difficult assignment.
From 1937 to 1941, Mr. Lane was minister to Yugoslavia where he observed many of the events leading to World War II in the Balkans. He was appointed United States ambassador to Poland in 1944 and served in that position until 1947.
As soon as the elections were over he asked to be recalled from Warsaw. The letter of resignation to President Truman stated that the elections in Poland were not free and charged the existing Polish government with cynical disregard of international obligations. He called the entire proceeding "a farce."
Mr. Lane resigned from the diplomatic service so he could speak openly as a private citizen to the American people. He has received permission from the president to tell the public everything he witnessed as an inside authoritative observer.
Mr. Lane served as secretary to the U.S. delegation to the supreme council at Paris in 1921; chief of division of Mexican affairs, 1927-30; minister to Nicaragua, 1933-36; minister to Lithuania, 1936-37, Yugoslavia, 1973-41, Costa Rica, 1941; and ambassador to Columbia, 1942-44.
Moon Trips Not For Us
That is the opinion of N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy. "I can't believe that we are going to fly around the moon within the next 1,000 years," he said. "The Wac Corporal went up 250 miles, but that is far short of 140,-000."
The Wac Corporal is the name given to a type of rocket that is being tested by the government at the White Sands proving grounds, White Sands, N.M.
"The problem of what to do after you get to the moon is even greater than the problem of getting there." Professor Storer said. "The moon has a temperature variation of 500 degrees, and it probably has only a thousandth as much atmosphere as we have here."
Professor Storer_spoke on "Contributions of Precision Tooling to Astronomy" to the student chapter of the American Society of Tool Engineers Wednesday night in Fowler shops.
Ralph E. Andrea and Alvin A. Knox, engineering seniors, will serve as guides in Fowler shops between 7 and 8 p.m. Friday for visitors attending the meeting of the American Society for Engineering Education.
