THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Dewey, Hutchins Continue Battle Over Education
President Robert M. Hutchins of the University of Chicago, has answered Prof. John Dewey of Columbia University recently, continuing the verbal war on the means of educating the college student. Professor Dewey is sold on the scientific angle of study as the more practical and profitable approach, while President Hutchins insists that science will show only part of the picture, and that the student must integrate science, philosophy, and religion.
Both men have studied the methods of education carefully, and neither could be said to have closed his mind on the subject. However, each advocates an extreme method of achieving the same purpose, that of providing liberal education to serve the ends of democracy.
Seeming to be at war with one another, the two men actually are fighting for the same thing with different weapons. Perhaps the disagreement could be likened to a battlefield in which Professor Dewey uses a mortar while President Hutchins fights the same foe, Ignorance, with a cannon. Each is effective in its own place, yet neither could be recommended for all situations.
As long as the difference is in the emphasis and is confined to dealing with the same opposition, the battle will not be serious. If it should happen that the men should aim their artillery at one another suddenly, the now safe field of education would be lost to the enemy. Many agree that each system advocated has good points, and that a compromise of the strictly scientific curriculum with courses "to enrich the life of the individual by giving him a sense of purpose" is the best means after all.
A thorough education should prepare the student for some sort of useful and remunerative employment as well as teach him the democratic principles of citizenship. These two men have brought the campaign over issues of education into the foreground, and when the smoke of battle has cleared away, more of the truth will appear.

V-12 Regains Consciousness; Condition Is Improved
Robert E. Elbel, V-12 student, who was injured Oct. 28 when he fell from a train at Peabody, has regained consciousness. According to information given by his parents, Major and Mrs. E. R. Elbel, 1713 Mississippi, and his sister, Jane, Bob's condition was greatly improved yesterday.
Bob suffered a skull fracture which necessitated a delicate brain operation. The operation was performed at the Hutchinson Naval hospital.
The first intercollegiate football game was between Princeton and Rutgers on November 6, 1869.
Rock Chalk Talk
Donkey serenade! It's finally been disclosed that the little company who caused the most discordance Halloween night was composed of Delta Charlie Moffett, Glenn Lessingdon, Dean Schwartz, and Dave Stimson. They kidnapped one coed, whom they believed to be a member of Pi Beta Phi, played football with a bottle on the Kappa front lawn, took a short snooze on the Theta lawn, and then adjourned to the Mite, shortly after which, everyone and the dates left. They joined up with their comrade-in-arms, Chick Hall (The Mad Ghoul), and continued on their wayward path. Incidentally, anyone knowing the whereabouts of Charlie's blue pants, please call 1111 West 11th.

Many students who registered in July and have moved should also change addresses at the registrar's office before Nov. 10.
Physical Therapy Figures Unavailable
"In an effort to get student directories in the hands of students as soon as possible, we are setting Friday. Nov. 10, as a deadline for the inclusion of all names in the directory," announced Laurence C. Woodruff, registrar, this morning.
The Co-eed Volunteer Corps will hold its first executive meeting at 7 o'clock tonight in the English room of the Union building.
The names of students who have not paid their fees by Nov. 10 will not be included in the directory, Dr. Woodruff explained. Students who registered at one address and have since changed residences should correct their record to avoid being listed with the improper address.
No figures are yet available on the total enrollment in the new physical therapy course, according to Dean Paul B. Lawson.
Nov. 10 Is Deadline For Directory Names
The newest major course in the University schedule offers a three-year liberal arts course in which the student takes a general college course with emphasis on the necessary science, according to Dean Lawson. The fourth year of training is spent at the University hospital in Kansas City, during which time a physical therapy major learns technics and puts his knowledge into practice. He also gives treatment under direction.
Plans for the coming semester will be outlined, and arrangements will be made for the general open meeting at which new members will be sworn in. Promotions will also be listed, Joan Burch, head of the organization, said.
Dean Lawson predicts that physical therapy will become increasingly popular after the war, since it is not primarily connected with the war.

Fire one! At the command "Submerge, take your desserts with you—AIR RAID!" and accompanied by simulated air raid whistles, Kappa freshmen dived under the table during dinner Monday night. Then the actives went on eating and forgot about them. Suddenly, active Charlotte Nelson, who was sitting at a freshman table, arose with an agonizing scream and extracted a burning match from the sole of her shoe.
Servicemen first: Betty Liebrand, Delta Gam, received a long-distance call from her man while she was working at the Book Exchange. Perceiving that this was surely an emergency, her DG sisters had the call switched to the Book Exchange, which was now teeming with students. With ingenuity, Betty got the situation well in hand, ran everyone out of the office, closed down the windows, and then settled down to a pleasant conversation.

fessor: "I have decided that the election is no longer a contest, but merely a continual frieze of the egg and dart design . . . the egg in the White House, and the dart running around everywhere. Or do I mean 'freeze?'"
