Final Round
Chancellor Malott Scores KO
Chancellor Deane W. Malott scored the final punch at the recent Student-Faculty conference. At the end of the discussion, he ably summarized the conference for the benefit of those present in the light of the University's attitude about each of the problems discussed.
in on the program, regret was expressed that the of v
During the first topic on the pi University is losing a number of good professors this year, and it was wondered if something could be done about this. Chancellor Malott corrected this impression by stating that "the University is losing only a small percentage of its teachers, and, although we regret to lose them, we are glad to know that we have men who are so good that someone else wants them." He also added that some new blood each year gives a stimulating effect to the faculty of this school.
The concern over the lack of student-faculty relations was answered when the Chancellor said, "The reason there isn't more is because the students aren't seeking it.
"The staff is here because it wants to have contact with young people," he added. Had there been time, some rebuttal would probably have evolved from this statement.
The question was raised as to student representation on committees which invoke disciplinary action. The Chancellor stated, "If the All Student Council would be willing to co-operate with the faculty, I would guarantee that students would be represented in every disciplinary action. This would make possible a strong student-faculty discipline committee."
Chancellor Malott remarked that many committee meetings are held without the student representative bothering to be present. This reflects the general student attitude and indicates that students are not willing to accept the responsibility which the University is willing to offer.
The suggestion that rooms be provided for "bull sessions" in the various buildings and departments was met with understandings and sympathy by the Chancellor; however, he pointed out that with 60 departments, the needed 60 extra rooms were not available under the present crowded conditions. "We will get something worked out," he added.

Malott commented in regard to the teacher shortage criticism, "You alone give yourself an education—not the教师." This statement was also made in connection with the lack of training and experience found in some instructors.
"Western Civilization is K.U.'s contribution to one of the great problems of the world today, "the Chancellor stated. He gave no indication that the University is about to change this requirement.

The cheating problem, the Chancellor said is "too much of an attitude of shrugging our shoulders at what the other fellow does. It is up to the students to take the cheater aside and tell him that K.U. students don't do that."
The Chancellor closed by saying that college is an experience in living which will leave the fewest possible scars and bring the greatest benefit.
He also pointed out that the student-faculty conference is a long range development and that students should not expect to see changes taking place over night.
Such was the final evaluation by the Chancellor. Everyone present derived a better insight into the

Dear Editor:
The United States has two alternatives which it may take in world affairs. First, prepare for war now with Universal Military Training or second, wait to see if the peace we fought so hard for will prevail. The second will be impossible if the slightest suspicion of war exists within the next 25 years.
There will undoubtedly be another war within this length of time. With U.M.T., we shall be able to prepare for it before it comes.
The communists in Europe are gaining ground with a battle of words and undercover activity. The time will come when they think they are strong enough to further expand. We must be able to defend ourselves and our neighbors and stop aggression.
I am not a veteran, but I would be willing to interrupt my education if congress did pass such a bill. Most parents object to U.M.T. because they hate to see their children go into the service, but they don't realize that if we don't secure the future now with U.M.T. they will eventually have to go to war.
