'Eagle' Will Fly As Middle Road Opinion Journal
Two birds of different feathers soon will be flocking separately on the campus.
The Dove, journal of student "liberals," is to be opposed by the Eagle, a paper which its sponsors describe as a "conservative journal of campus opinion." Its motto will be "what most people think."
Scheduled to appear in about 10 days, it is to be "not rankly reactionary, but middle of the read. It will not appear on pink paper."
The organizers are Buell Schilts, John| Danneberg, Wallace Foster, Robert Pennington, Robert Pringle, and Donald Ong.
"The Dove is being quoted in state newspapers to show how communistic these state universities are. This will be an effort to dispell the impression, created by a distinctly minority group."
Its sponsors explained the reason for the publication:
An organizational meeting will be held at 8 tonight in the Union hallroom. The organizers say the staff is "wide open and anyone who wants to write for it will be accepted. Anyone opposing the general tenor of the Dove will be welcome."
A business manager and managing editor will be elected at the meeting and a new election will be held after each issue appears. All other staff positions will be of equal rank. The All Student council is not financing the first publication, but the organizing group is applying to the publications committee of the U.S.C. for authorization.
Philosophy Lacking Putnam Tells Club
The knowledge of government and the philosophy of government do not integrate in practice. James W. Putnam, '39, told the Unitarian Liberal club Sunday night.
Three members of the occupational therapy staff at Wadsworth Veterans' hospital, two of them K. U. graduates, will speak to the occupational therapy club at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
Miss Belle Stewart, chief occupational therapist at the hospital, and Miss Pauline Rankin and Miss Donna Glorvick, both '46, will speak on the activities of an occupational therapy department.
tire then discussed the activities of the past session of the Kansas legislature. Mr. Putnam was a member of the bill drafting committee. He explained the school reorganization bill, and taxation with respect to the "rising costs of government," to the members.
By Bibler
"In school a student gets a knowledge of government, but little of philosophy. We accumulate knowledge, some of which we don't respect because we know too much about it, but we do not have enough knowledge to see that knowledge," said Mr. Putnam. Discusses Legislature
"The proposed test for a driver's license was vetoed by Governor Carlson because it might become the basis of an unwanted political organization." Mr. Putnam also pointed out.
Harvard Dean To Speak
W. B. Donham, former Dean of the Graduate School of Business administration at Harvard University, will address members of the business school at 7:30 p. m. Tuesday, in the Union ballroom. Mr. Donham will discuss "Management's Responsibilities Today."

Campus Strikers Still Hold Out
The strike which stopped work on University emergency construction projects has moved into its fourth day with no settlement as yet.
All carpenters and most laborers are out, although a few laborers reported for work according to a union picket.
In wage dispute, laborers are asking a 12½ cent an hour raise and a closed shop of the Constant Construction company. Picketing of the project back of Frank Strong began Thursday morning.

227 Engineers On Honor Roll

United Press reports from London said today that the Rev. Bryan Green told his Holy Trinity church congregation Monday night that the morals of American students are deplorable—as bad as the U.S. educational system. The vicar had recently returned from a lecture in this country which included a University convocation here Feb. 24 during Religious Emphasis week.

Analysis of engineering grades for the 1946 spring semester shows that throughout all courses veterans made better marks, Dean Jones said.
Two hundred twenty-seven names now appear on the honor roll. It includes the highest 10 per cent of each class with 105 freshmen who had 2.14 averages or better, 48 sophomores who excelled 2.1', 42 juniors and 32 seniors who had better than 2.2 grade point averages, Dean Jones said.
"In normal years a B average (2 point), was sufficient to win a place on the honor roll but this is no longer true," Dean Jones said.
Although the large number of veterans raise the level of achievement, competition of the more mature and experienced veterans was what forced the non-veterans to study harder. he said.
University Debates Texas
In Green Hall Tonight
University debaters will match words tonight with a debate team from the University of Texas. The battle of words will take place in Green hall's Little Theater at 8 p.m., Kenneth Johnson, instructor in speech, asid today.
William Conboy, College sophmore, and Edward Stolenwerck, College freshman, will take an affirmative stand on the question, "Resolved, that labor should be given a direct share in the management of industry."
He declared that sexual intimacy between high school students was "very common" and that it was "suggested" that at least 90 per cent of male students and 70 per cent of women students at state universities had non-marital sexual relations. English Education Better
He also said that the quality of education in America is much poorer than in England. "The average boy or girl in England is about a year ahead of his or her equal in America," he declared.
These remarks were criticized today by the Rev. Edwin F. Price, director of Wesley foundation and former dean of the School of Religion. He questioned the statements by the English clergyman that the morals of American students are deplorable. Had Inadequate Data
The Rev. Mr. Price said. "I think it is unfortunate that a man in his face-to-face contacts with students would express confidence in those students and then criticize them when he gets home. Without questioning his sincerity, I would question whether he had adequate data to support his statement."
Dr. Price recently conducted a survey of couples he has married. Of 50 married couples questioned, 80 per cent had not pre-marital sex relations.
"While this is not conclusive, I do believe it represents a fair cross-section of our students since all of those I surveyed were former University students," he said. Shouldn't Separate Sexes
"I don't see where you are enhancing moral quality of the young people by separating them during their college years.
Jean Moore To Sit In On 3-Day UN Session
"Understand, I am not saying we are simon-pure. I think it is a challenge to our education and culture to see that provisions are made for wholesome, constructive activities to build moral integrity."
Jean O. Moore, College senior, will attend a three-day session of the United Nations as an award for outstanding contribution to Mid-America College congress which was held at St. Joseph. Mo., Friday and Saturday. Twenty-eight colleges and universities were present at the conference. Betty van der Smissen, College sophomore, also represented the University at the Congress.
The Congress was divided into five discussion groups: economic and social, backward and dependent peoples, human rights and civil liberties, peaceful arbitration and disarmament. A poll will be taken among University students on questions and resolutions formulated at the Congress, Miss van der Smissen related.
The Congress, which was sponsored by the St. Joseph League of Women voters, was one of the first of its kind in the country. H.R. Knickerbocker, INS world correspondent, and Dr.Corwin Edwards, of Northwestern university, addressed the conference.
