UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
E.S. Jones Warns Students 'Must Pick Best Life'
"The older and younger generations must get together on the kind of world they want to have. And that world must provide equality of opportunity."
That is the special message E. Stanley Jones, after his speech Sunday night in the Community building, gave a Kansan reporter to take to the students on the Hill. Dr. Jones acknowledges the difference in endowment, but stresses the necessity for equality of opportunity, which he believes is the only hope of world economy.
Canceled Return to India
The well-known missionary has been lecturing in the United States for a year and a half. He was to have gone back to India before the war, but he felt he should stay here for the crisis. Now Dr. Jones can neither get back to India, nor can his wife and daughter leave that country to join him in America.
Dr. Jones frequently speaks from three to five times daily. This is not difficult, he said. "If you live relaxed, and meet today today."
Speaking to a crowded audience with over 100 persons standing, Dr Jones opened the Holy Week observance in Lawrence with his Palm Sunday service in the Community building.
Says Christ Was a Realist
Dr. Jones tried to prove that Christianity was not idealistic, but practical. Idealism, he defined as free occupation with and devotion to ideas. Realism, on the other hand, is free occupation with and devotion to, facts. Christ was a realist, who revealed the nature of the reality of God and the laws of the universe.
Every self-centered person is a self-destructive person, because he is living against himself, Dr. Jones said. It's not compulsory to love your neighbor, but if you do, you can get along with both yourself and your neighbor.
The best way to live morally is also the right way physically, socially, and economically. The only way for nations to get along is to practice the Golden Rule.
Dr. Jones listed the five enemies of social living as emptiness; self-centeredness; hate, fear and anger; and unresolved guilt. He gave physiological instances of the ability of anger to make ill health, and how love cures all evils and improves digestion.
Advises Remodeling of Lives
After asking everyone to leave who did not want to hear how to remodel his life, Dr. Jones gave nine steps to accomplish it. The first was to review one's life and its directions honestly; then reverse undesirable tendencies, return to Christ, renounce self, restore friendly relations, receive God's love, relate family and business life with the church, replenish life, and release one's personality.
Dr. Jones closed his message to
the United Church congregation by advising his listeners to take this word of Christ to heart and apply it: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Engineers Hear of War Chemistry
R. B. Semple, assistant development director of the Monsanto Chemical Company, St. Louis, was the main speaker of the evening. His topic was "Relation of the Chemical Industry to War Effort." Semple described the tremendous expansion of the chemical industry and gave examples of the work now being done in that field.
The School of Engineering held a banquet last evening in the Memorial Union ballroom. There were 130 in attendance. Toastmaster for the evening was Dr. Eugene A. Stephenson, professor of petroleum engineering.
He believes that people will see the advantages in a sufficient amount to make fabricated houses play a large part in home construction after the war is over.
He also believes that synthetic rubber will be so exploited that after the war rubber of this type will be produced cheaply enough and will be of satisfactory quality to compete with natural rubber products.
Semple's speech was concerned with the correlation of present war industries with peace-time industries after the war is over. Dr. R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry supplied humor for the banquet in a five minute speech. Thomas G. Castonguay, instructor in chemical engineering, introduced the speakers.
Entertainment for the evening was supplied by A. M. Ockerblad, associate professor of applied mechanics, who gave an Indian club demonstration; and by Howard and Duane Canniff, student tap dancers.
The banquet closed with the group singing the alma mater and giving the Rock Chalk yell.
Money talks! United States Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps shout "victory!"

Students Speak at Weekly Meet
Lawyers To Argue Cases Next Week
Freshman students in the School of Law will act as juries in three practice court cases to be heard beginning next week, P. W. Viesselman, professor of law, announced today.
Students got a chance to do the talking this morning at the weekly meeting of the School of Pharmacy. Emery Josserand, senior, gave extracts from the book "One Hundred Million Guinea Pigs;" and the other senior speaker, Junior Gale, spoke on "New War Medicines." Jack Rowland, junior, had chosen as his subject "War Comes to the Retail Druggist."
The first case will be a civil trial involving rights to a temporary floor installed in a skating rink. Litigants are a lumber company, which seeks to retrieve the lumber, and the owner, of the building in which the floor was laid. The case will be argued before Professor L. T. Tupy by Harry Akers, Lloyd Kerford, Karl Shawver, and Harry Waite.
A criminal case involving a charge of negligence on the part of a motorist in a fatal accident will be second on the docket. Such cases are usually civil, said Professor Vieselman, before whom the case will be tried. Philip Dawson, Samuel Freeman, Milt Sullivant, and Harold Wilson are the attorneys in the suit.
A controversy involving contract rights will be last on the jury list, and will be presented by Milt Allen, Earl Hubbard, Charles Moore, Bill Overton, and Clyde Singer.
Senior students will argue the above cases, but second year men will engage in three cases bearing on appeals from district courts in which no witnesses nor juries will be used.
Art Fraternity Backs Display
Delta Phil Delta, honorary art fraternity, will sponsor an all-University art parade beginning April 19 and lasting for two weeks. In its hunt for hidden talent, the fraternity will display art in the lounge of the Memorial Union building. Students and faculty members who do sketching or painting or modeling for amusement may submit their creations for the display.
This year Iowa University is having its eleventh annual All-University art parade and they find that it is growing in popularity each year. Any type of art may be entered for judging, including pottery, woodcarving, jewelry, oil painting, water colors, penil sketches, charcoal sketches, ink sketches, and graphic process articles. All entries must be in by Thursday, April 16.
Posters advertising the parade have been made by members of Delta Phi Delta. Judging will be done by a jury made up of art faculty members. A ballot box for popular votes will be placed near the display; the merit system will be used in the judging. Each entry will be judged individually and not in competition with any other.
Entry blanks for the art parade may be obtained at the hostess' desk in the Union building after Thursday.
