aris, Nov. 17—(UP)—Top United leaders appealed again to Russia and the Western Pow- to settle the Berlin crisis with least possible delay."
their new appeal came in a statement issued only a few hours after United States, Great Britain, and France had blamed Russia for the tainting Berlin dispute and had acted flatly all suggestions for set negotiations with the Soviet on until the blockade of the man capital is lifted.
the United States, in its note, said direct negotiations under duress blockade would "endanger the se of the world" by compromis-
the U.N. charter principle that we shall not be used for attainment of national objectives."
in Trygve Lie, secretary-general Herbert V. Evatt, General Asbury leaders were not dismayed by American, British and French negatives to their letter suggesting mediate" four-power conversation to solve the Berlin crisis.
believing that their letter had cited a "chain of events" which it soon lead to at least a truce in the cold war, they issued a promptement in which they noted "with taction" that all the great powers their replies "indicate in one form another their desire to reach a element of the Berlin question." The president of the general assembly and the secretary-general "their statement said," that this umon desire will find expression in the least possible delay in further attempts to find a solution actable to all parties."
indicating that, as had been ex-ted, the next attack upon the problem would be made through a compromise proposal in the U.N. security council, which still has the question on its agenda, Lie and Evatt in urged in their statement that four powers give "full and active sport" to the efforts of Juan amuglia, security council presi-ster, to mediate the dispute.

*Fraser auditorium*. Mr. Alexander limited the classics to meaning Latin and Greek literature only.
Mr. Alexander pointed out the true survival values of the classics are often misinterpreted today. He denounced the idea that a knowledge of Latin is helpful in the spelling of difficult words.
"Latin was fairly phonetic," he said. "The more difficult words are of Norman French and the Later Court French!"
He added that "democracy is a true prelude to fascism if education is based on the lowest intellectual level of the students." He said that vague courses in citizenship and technical studies have pushed the study of the classics to the wall.
In speaking of requiring the study of the classics, Mr. Alexander said, "The American school or college should be a place where students study what they wish. No one should be compelled to study the classics."
"Too often a student may go through college, getting a doctor's degree, without any contact with social and political study." Mr. Alexander said.
Quoting from Harold Nicholson of the London Spectator, Mr. Alexander said that the classics "offer a lovely irrelevance in providing an escape from material living. They develop the power of self-detachment from a modern machine world."
Everyone tries to prove the value of the classics by showing they have a practical value to fit our modern society, he added, but the real value is that they do not fit into this utilitarianism.

KU Professor Gets $25,000 For Geology Survey
Raymond C. Moore, professor of geology and research director of the State Geological Survey, has been granted $25,000 by the Geological Society of America to compile a comprehensive treatise on invertebrate paleontology.
Professor Moore will be editor of the new reference work, and will select his own committee from leading paleontologists of the world. The society has made $7,000 available now, with the remainder set aside for future withdrawal. Professor Moore said that three years would be needed to prepare the copy for a publisher. He has already appointed Cecil G. Lalicker, Professor of geology, to the committee.
Professor Moore joined the University faculty in 1916 and has held the rank of full professor since 1919. He is also chairman of the American Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature, and has been a member of an American Association of Petroleum Geologists committee to survey oil-bearing regions.
Professor Moore has been working on the project since he was tentatively asked to direct it three years ago. He has just returned from a four-month tour of Europe, where he consulted with European paleontologists.
