WSSF Funds HelpStudents
Six organizations are participating in the campus chest drive. So that you may know what each one does, and so that you may choose where your contribution goes the Daily Kansan will publish information about one organization each day.
During 1948-49 W.S.S.F. sent to Europe medical supplies such as first-aid equipment for student clinics, dental equipment, and X-ray plates for tuberculosis hospitals. It aided refugees and displaced students. It sent them food, clothing, scientific publications, and laboratory equipment.
The World Student Service fund serves an agency by which American students and professors may share books, paper, and medical supplies with students in Europe.
The chief value of ancient Greek plays today lies in what they suggest to modern playwrights was the opinion expressed Monday by Walter R. Agard, chairman of the classics department at the University of Wisconsin.
Professor Agard will give the second lecture in the Humanities series at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater. He will speak on "The Mythological Tradition in Sculpture."
Value Of Greek Plays Today Discussed By Walter Agard
"There are two kinds of revival of Greek drama today," he said. "Direct revival of such plays as Medea, which was a hit on Broadway and wherever it played over the country, is one kind. The other is when a modern playwright uses an old idea, as has Eugene O'Neill in "Mourning Becomes Electra."
"It is a mistake to copy. Old Greek plays can now stimulate, arouse, and inspire the modern playwrights, and they are doing this."
Professor Agard, an authority on Greek architecture, drama, and literature, believes that we are not now in a great creative period in any of the humanities except science.
"We're 'pretty good' in some ways," he said, "but as Prime Minister Nehru said, 'we need a better balance among the humanities.' We have great science now, and all that we know is that it can blow us up.
"The reason for the golden era of Greece is that it had a much better balance among the humanities than we do. So it had great art, drama, literature and science all at once. This was one of the miracles of the world."
Professor Agard is the author of several books, including "The Greek Tradition in Sculpture" and "The New Architectural Sculpture." He is now writing a book in which he traces, through architectural sculpture, the subjects of many of the ancient Greek myths as they have changed from specific forms to abstractions and symbols.
The Rev. M. David Riggs, Y.M.C.A. executive secretary, has been promoted to senior secretary by the board of certification of the national council of the Y.M.C.A.
Riggs Promoted In YMCA Work
City To Ask Alpha Delta Pi Sorority To Repair Rundown Brick Sidewalk
The requirements for promotion from junior secretary are two years experience, 30 credit hours of professional work including required subjects, and a satisfactory rating by six professional observers.
Mr. Riggs served at the University of Massachusetts and Miami university, Oxford, Ohio. His professional work was at the Yale divinity school and George Williams college in Chicago, Ill.
Mr. R. Paul Brotsman, assistant professor of social work, was Mr. Riggs' teacher for a community organization course the past summer in Chicago.
The council authorized Harold Fisher, city clerk, to write a letter to the sorority requesting that it repair a secton of sidewalk on the west side of Louisiana street in the 11 hundred block.
A resolution requesting Alpha Delta Pi, social sorority, to repair its sidewalk was passed at a meeting of the Lawrence city council Monday evening.
The action came as a result of student complaints made at previous city council meetings. A delegation of students from Corbin, Foster, and Sterling halls attended the Oct. 24
If action is not taken by the sorority, the council may, under the authority of a city ordinance, have the sidewalk repaired and bill the sorority for the repairs.
meeting of the council and objected to the condition of the sidewalk.
Barbara Glivin, president of Alpha Delta Pi, said today that she had not been informed of the sidewalk's condition.
"I knew nothing of the complaints of students," she said, "However, some kind of action will be taken immediately."
Two students, Shilley Shriver, education senior, and Merilyn Richards, engineering sophomore, have sprained their ankles while using the rundown section of sidewalk.
Agard Discusses Greek Classics
The great danger today in our civilization is over specialization. Walter R. Agard, chairman of the classics department at the University of Wisconsin, said Monday night.
WALTER R. AGARD
Professor Agard discussed "The Program of Integrated Studies at the University of Wisconsin." He spoke to the College committees on the humanities and curriculum and the general education committee of the University.
The Wisconsin program is taken during the freshman and sophomore years. Each semester the student takes one course in science, social studies, and the humanities. When he completes this program he may enter the school of the university in which he wishes to study.
"Our goal in this program was to help the student understand the relationships of his experience," he said. "We planned to do this by studying a certain society at a certain time. By studying one society you can gain knowledge of society as a whole."
Professor Agard spoke Monday afternoon on "The Teaching of Greek Drama in Translation." He expressed his opinion that the study of Greek drama will better prepare people for the tragedies that lie ahead for most of them.
The speaker pointed out that if students can be shown that their studies are applicable to problems they meet in daisy life, they will enjoy their work. Dr. Agard listed three points that should be remembered in teaching the Greek classics.
First, "The social importance of the classics can be shown because today we have discussions of the indifference of the individual to authority, and the classics illustrate this point. The husband deserting his wife is not uncommon in Greek drama."
Second, the appreciation of the artistic values of the plays should be taught. Professor Agard suggested that memorizing a few lines of a Greek drama might aid students to appreciate these artistic values.
Third, he explained, Greek drama is filled with tragedy. Seeing how others reacted to tragedy can help the student of today, he added.
