Plans Drawn For Campanile
A campanile rising 150 to 175 feet above the summit of Mount Oread, with an observation tower, a Memorial hall, and a "Garden of Memories," is described in preliminary architects' plans released today.
The architects, Homer F. Neville and Edward Buehler Delk, of Kansas City, Mo., have suggested that the campanile, or bell tower, be built directly north of Frank Strong hall.
In the base of the tower will be a Memorial hall, 25 by 35 feet, on the walls of which will be bronze plaques bearing the names of more than 8,000 University men and women who served in the armed forces during the war. A metal globe marking the areas of the earth in which they served is also planned.
Arches will open on the four sides of the hall. The north arch will lead to a balcony overlooking the Kaw valley. On the south will be the "Garden of Memories," including a fountain and pool. Fergals fitted with benches will be built on the east and west, with steps leading down to the proposed Memorial drive parkway.
Mr. Neville, '23, emphasized that the plans "are still in the preliminary stage and are still subject to considerable change." He said the tower must be "quite tall" to look well beside Frank Strong hall. The architects have suggested construction be of native Kansas stone to conform with the majority of University buildings.
The observation room, 325 steps up, will offer a view of both the Kaw and Wakarusa valleys. Also included in the tower is space for the carillon, and an apartment for the carillonue with a keyboard room dressing room, and shower.

Too Much Fact,
Not Enough Vision
In Education---Malott
"There is too much and not enough vision in our education," Chancellor Deane W. Malott stated last night at a meeting of the American Association of University Women at Corbin hall.
"University students are made to memorize too much and numb themselves with too much reading." Chancellor Malott pointed out in his talk on "Reawakening Education." He explained that students are "study weary" after graduation, frequently shunning reading matter and thus defeating the objective of education, learning through reading.
According to Chancellor Malott, there are several hundred students enrolled in non-credit, pre-college courses in the University, because many high schools don't offer adequate college preparation courses.
Discussing liberal education, he said that there is no accepted content for a liberal education but he believes that mastery of a foreign language, knowledge of a foreign language, history, an understanding of biology, and a good background in English are all vital to a liberal education.
Chancellor Malott concluded by saying that adult education should be stimulated.
"About 50 per cent of school subjects are better learned after 30 years of age than at 20 because one has more experience than enables him to study better. Education should not cease after graduation but should continue all through life," he said.

Stalin's statement was the strongest he has ever made for the new world organization.
His statement appeared to leave little possibility that Russia might, as has often been suggested, quit the UNO because of the dispute regarding Iran and other issues which have embroiled Russia and the western powers.
Meanwhile Soviet efforts to delay United Nations Security council consideration of the Iran case appeared to be doomed to failure. There was no sign that any last minute diplomatic maneuver might halt a hearing on the issue.
The state department took the line that the only factor which could compel delay in Security council consideration of Iran would be actual Soviet troop withdrawal from that nation. There was no sign whatever that the Russians were getting ready to pull out.
British military quarters also denied that reinforcements had been sent to guard the rich Kurkuk oilfields which lie in the heart of the troubled Kurdish area of Iraq.
News from the actual scene of the crisis was scant and negative. The Iraq government issued an official denial of excited reports which had been carried earlier this week that its troops had been moved up to defend the Iraq-Iran border.
