Big Problems Don't Bother T.V. Smith—He's A Texan
Perhaps Prof. T. V. Smith has never really solved a personal problem—as he confessed in his convocation address Monday—but he seems to have been bothered by a big one.
The tall, informal professor of philosophy, who has become almost an annual speaker at the University, is transferring from the University of
The tall, informal professor of annual speaker at the University, is Chicago to Syracuse university in New York. More than a quarter of a century at Chicago hasn't concealed the drawing Texan in him.
Asked why he was striking out anew and terminating an allegiance of long standing, Professor Smith relaxed, bummed a cigarette, and explained. His answers had the practicality of a Texas cowhand rather than the manner of an educator—especially in philosophy.
"Well, retirement provisions at Syracuse are sufficiently liberal that I won't lose anything and might even gain by the change," he said. "You know, I'll be ready for the scrap heap in a few years."
Then he explained that at Syra-cuse he would be able to teach what he wanted without reference to departmental barriers and red tape.
"I want to teach philosophy, poetry, and government. They'll let me do that at Syracuse. Besides, I will write writing and debubling in politics."
Professor Smith admitted that someone had to train the teachers, but that entailed a long wait for any rewards. "A man likes to know he is leaving his mark on people, and by teaching undergraduates he can see the results of his own work before he dies."
"And I want to teach undergraduates. My new assignment will permit that, whereas at Chicago I was triving to make more Ph.D.'s."
That his new dean was a personal friend of long standing was also mentioned as a reason for the change. Then he got down to the important reason: "Mrs. Smith also highly approved of the change in residence from Chicago to Syracuse.
"And lastly, they're going to pay me more money than I was getting."
English Firm Bids For Carillon
"I would not trade my job for a million pounds," Frank C. Godrey of England said at an interview Tuesday.
Mr. Godfrey represents John Taylor and Company, an English firm contracting for the University War Memorial carillon.
Mr. Godfrey will return to England after discussing the proposed War Memorial with the carillon committee and the memorial architect.
During his 20 years with the Taylor firm, Mr. Godfrey has made several trips to the United States to install carillons in churches and memorials. He has installed the carillons at the University of Michigan, Duke University and Iowa State college.
Stallman's Books Published Soon
His "Critiques and Essays in Criticism 1920-1948", with foreward by Cleanth Brooks, will be published in January by the Roland Press. "The Critic's Notebook" is scheduled for publication next spring. Robert Penn Warren, Pulitzer Prize winner for his novel in 1947, has written the forward. He lectured at the University last year.
Three books by R. W. Stallman, assistant professor of English, are to be published early next year.
Fellowship Awarded Graduate Student
Professor Stallman and Ray B. West Jr., associate professor of English, are co-authors of "The Art of Modern Fiction." This book is to be released by the Rinehart company next spring.
Lawrence, Sept. 22—(UP)—Alice Hobbs of Topeka, a graduate student at the University, has been awarded a $1,000 fellowship by the Soroptimist club of Wichita, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today.
First Draft To Call Few
Topeka, Sept. 22—(UP)—Kansas first draft quota call will take only one man out of every 128 in the most eligible class, it was disclosed today.
Brig. Gen. Milton R. McLean state director of selective service, said there were 26,771 single non-veterans registered for the draft. In all, 107,253 Kansas men signed up in registrations which were completed Sept. 18.
From the single non-veteran classification, 210 men will be taken in the first draft call in November, General McLean said. About 300 will be sent to physical examination centers within the next week to provide the selectees who will be called to duty first.
KU To Hold Rail School
A two-day school to show Kansans how to cut their share of the nation's annual $200,000,000 bill for damaged and improperly marked(reight will be held in Topeka Oct. 19 and 20.
Presented by the Traffic club of Topeka and University Extension, the two-day school will be a conference on "Methods of Packaging," said N. W. Rickhoff, manager of KU./s Kansas City extension center and director of the course. Meetings will be held in Topeka City auditorium Oct. 19-20.
Most of the cost of damaged and lost freight can be attributed to carelessness, inneptness or ignorance of proper methods of packaging, sealing, marking, and protection of merchandise in shipping and warehousing. Rickhoff said. Training in these fields can reduce losses, he said.
Carey Finds Ash Useful As Glaze
A new use for volcanic ash, that of making quality glazes for pottery, has been discovered by J. Sheldon Carey of the department of design.
Volcanic ash was chosen as the basic ingredient to develop the new glaze, because the ash contains the qualities that fill the basic needs for glaze and because the ash is abundant, and can be mined cheaply in Kansas.
In his recently published article in the Bulletin of the American Germanic Society, "Glazes from Kansas Volcanic Ash," Mr. Carey presented the results of a series of experiments he conducted for the purpose of finding a low cost glaze suitable for commercial use.
Mr. Carey said his experiments showed volcanic ash to be superior to many commercial glazes in both texture and color.

Paris, Sept. 22—(UP)—Russia brought the East-West conflict into the open at the United Nations meeting today when Andrei Vishniak accused "certain delegations" of trying to foment disunity in the UN ranks.
Russia Charges Disunity In UN
The Soviet delegate's blast at the Western powers came after the West outvoted the East in organizational elections. The attact was made in connection with a Soviet effort to take off the agenda a proposal to admit Italy and five other countries to the UN, despite a Russian veto.
Waving his arms and pointing repeatedly at Jose Ar ce, delegate from Argentina who offered the proposal. Mr. Vishinsky argued that it would violate the UN charter.
"But some nations do not seem to be interested any longer in abiding by the charter," he said. "Perhaps they do not want a United Nations, but a Disunited Nations. That is the conclusion one must draw from the activities of certain delegations."
The Western powers meanwhile held up their plans to refer the Berlin crisis to the UN with a charge that Russia was violating the UN charter. The delay was caused by French insistence on sending the Soviets one more note in an effort to get the Berlin blockade lifted.
France Insists On Giving Reds Another Chance
Paris, Sept. 22—(UP)—Big Three plans to refer the Berlin crisis to the United Nations, accusing Russia of violating the U.N. charter, were delayed today by French insistence on sending the Soviets one more note in the effort to get the Berlin blockade lifted.
After two meetings of the Western foreign ministers, the French wanted to make one last bid for a settlement by negotiation. They proposed to serve notice on Russia along with the final note that if the blockade were not removed the Western Powers would try the case before the U.N.
The final decision has not been made, and probably will not be made until next week.
The Americans and British are understood to believe that no progress with the Russians can be made, and the only recourse is a try at rallying world opinion behind the West. But signs were seen that they might go along with the French on another note, provided it set the course to the U.N. in case of a Red rebuff.
The jockeying behind the scenes overshadowed the formal procedure of the newly convened general assembly. There, too the dominant issue was East vs. West, but so far it lacked the showdown gravity of the tug of war over Berlin.
But regardless of how the Berlin situation seemed to be going for the Reds, all was not so smooth in other Russian departments.
Not a single Russian or satellite candidate won a position Tuesday when six committee chairmen and the assembly president, constituting the other seven seats on the vital steering committee, were elected.
Because Russia and her satellites represent in area and population one of the largest blocs in the United Nations, the campaign to limit their representation in top assembly administrative posts was considered a stinging rebuff to Soviet world policy.

Groups May Request Use Of Counters
"The benches, tables and couch in the foyer of Frank Strong, are there for two purposes," Dr. L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, said today. "The benches and tables are for students wishing to study. The counters are for organizations that have something to sell or publicize," he said.
Any organization wishing to sell or publicize its wares must first get clearance from Dean Woodruff for make reservation for use of a counter.
Less than half the children entering the first grade in Nebraska are graduated from high school.
"Screening of requests to sell things will be no more rigorous than in the past," the dean said, "but we must know who is going to sell what ahead of time and allocate the selling space equitably."
