Menninger Talks On Psychiatry
Relating the work of the physician to the field of psychiatry, Dr. Karl Menninger, founder and president of the Menninger clinic in Topeka, last night gave an illustrated outline of the growth of the conception of personality, in Fraser theater.
The sixth speaker in a series sponsored by Phi Beta Pi, medical fraternity, Doctor Meninger traced the development of the treatment of disease from the earliest purely chemical approach to the modern physiochemical and psychological analysis, clarifying his statements with diagrams and pictures.
Contending that the importance of psychology in relation to medical treatment cannot be overestimated, Doctor Menninger defined personality as the composite of physiological, chemical, and psychological aspects of a human being, all of which must be taken into consideration in the treatment of illness.
A large per cent of cases of physical ills show a high coloring of such psychological phenomena as maladjustments and frustrations, declared Doctor Menninger, also emphasizing the influence of environmental and sociological factors in both the cause and the cure for physical disorders. It is then necessary for the physician to co-ordinate the purely physical and the mental and emotional in order to treat disease effectively.
Doctor Menninger also pointed out the importance of basic study in anatomy, pathology, and physiology as a foundation for entry into the medical profession.

Chic and military in a khaki and beige uniform, Lt. Gladys Huber, a student at the University from 1937 to 1940 and now a third officer in the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps, expressed her opinion of the WAAC's by saying, "I wouldn't be any place else under the present circumstances."

Last Saturday she completed her officer's training and received her commission as a third officer, a rank equal to a second lieutenant in the army. In the officer's school attended by Miss Huber, the same courses were given to the women as to the men's branch of the army with the exception of tactical problems and handling of arms. Seventh Officers' Class

Sailors must eat, so there will be no Puff Pant Prom Saturday night. The Union Ballroom must be a mess hall by 4:30 Sunday morning and the women of the WAA don't feel capable of setting up tables for several hundred sailors after the Prom is over.

Otto Kiehl Home Oread to African Sky From Clipper Hop
It's a far cry from Mt. Oread's red-roofed halls to sailing through the azure expanse of sky covering the stretch from Natal, Brazil, to Fisherman's Lake in Liberia in a 74-passenger Pan-American clipper, but that is the hop that Otto Kiehl, University graduate in 1941, has made.
Kiehl, home on a short furlough to visit his family in Pitts was a campus visitor yesterday on his way back to New
Kiehl, home on a short furlo burg, was a campus visitor yest York to rejoin the Clipper fleet. He is serving as junior pilot, fourth officer of the Pan-American Clipper lines, on the Atlantic division. Otto said yesterday that most of his flying had included the run from Natal, Brazil, to Fisherman's Lake, Liberia, a new development of the Pan American system, which lies south and east of Dakar, strategical African port. His
last flight, however, was from New York to Lisbon, to Foines, Ireland. Mostly Night Flying
While the clippers carry a complement of 74 passengers, Kiehl stated that priorities are necessary to obtain passage, and that rarely ever did a plane carry a full passenger list as the space was requisitioned to carry vital supplies to armed for-

Smith Urges 'Discipline' For Survival
"Only by becoming a nation more disciplined than it has been in the past, can America survive the war." Dr. T. V. Smith, professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago, told 2500, students at the Armistice Day convolution yesterday.
"Discipline" was the theme of his speech—scientific discipline, artistic discipline, military discipline, and political discipline. The military discipline differs from the other three "as the constructive from the destructive, as negative from affirmative," but it is of the greatest importance in the world today, according to Dr. Smith.
Dr. Smith stressed that although war is a great and menacing evil, it is not the greatest evil which could befall this country. The conditions of pre-war United States could not go on indefinitely, or should not. It is those conditions which take precedence in the field of evil over the war. "We are in this war," said Dr. Smith, "not to make the world better; but should we not see it through, we will live to see the world worse than it was. We do not like the war, but we will see it through.
"The basic discipline of democracy is politics. The politician is the moral middleman who can do what we as a people would do if it weren't for the principle of the thing." This is Dr. Smith's definition of a politician, but he also pointed out that without him there could and would not be democracy.
Dr. Smith concluded with the challenge that "We devote ourselves anew on this Armistice Day to these disciplines which will tend toward a more democratic day for all mankind."
