No. 67
NO DECISION IS GIVEN

"You may have these faults, but they are not representative of your culture when you come to Jordan. Blumenthal and Herbert Schaumann, the guest speakers con-
To the satisfaction of both skeptics and optimists, no decision was given in terms of a new culture, but also Germany's reaction to the peace treaty and the present wave of refugees.
"American culture is essentially childish and Americans are essentially hyperextinct," Burton A. Kingsbury and Fredie S. Anderson, the Kansas teacher.
Mr. Kingsbury said that American culture was essentially childish in that its architecture was that of energy rather than appreciative art. "Bigger and more complex," he said. He called attention to the various endureance contends.
He declared that Americans are by procrital in their "suppression of things they cannot understand." The debater cited the religious prejudice of Massachusetts by the Puritans and the recent presidential election. In referring to censorship, he said that Americans should not insist freckling of every description."
America Prejudiced
Americans really worship material success, he said, and take their outlaws in the crude pleasures of cheap novels, pornographic literature, tabloids and
America Lacks Monuments
One of the reasons European monuments were lost was the finding of monuments, it was said. He termed this unjustifiable because America had faced pioneer life and had no time to develop monumental art.
He declared that Europe had many of the same faults cited by the Americans.
Count Blumenthal praised rather than censured America's "skyscraper" architecture. The Greek and Roman architecture, which was generally archaic in the past, now looks much like America's in that it was built primarily for us, he declared.

'Business Efficiency Not Culture'
"America may be the origin of the idea of world peace," he declared, "but it certainly has not taken advantage of its ideas." America was described as having a strong cultural identity from the musk of international politics. He also cited America's present 'imperialistic policy' in Latin
America Has Spiritual Feeling "Europe failed to understand America," he said. "America has a sharp line between culture and life," Schaumann said. "America has no had enough time to build a culture, but it has much possibility. The spiritual

In rebuttal, Count Blumenthal pointed out that militarized Europe had little room to ensure. He scorned the so-called freedom in Europe. "If parents break windows, they cannot be forced for doing the same," he declared.

"That was in 1873." Mrs. Walton recalled "Doctor Miller was short, so he always sat on the dictionary, and then he was just a little bit stubborn that was why he was so smart. He was one of the finest men I ever knew." Doctor Miller was 67 years old at the time of his death. He was professor of mathematics at the University of Kansas from 1874 to 1910.

LENGTHY DEBATE ON K. U. STATUS NOW BEING HELD
No Decision Expected Soon As Faculty Representatives Argue in Executive Session
BAUSCH ACTION HELPS
But Reinstatement May Not Be Granted Until Definite Athletic Policy Is Outlined by Jay-hawk Officials
Kansas City, Dec. 5- (UP) - Long-distance today marked efforts of representatives of the Big Six schools to settle relations with University of Kansas.
Faculty delegates from the conference schools met in executive session at the Kansas City Athletic club to wrestle games with Kansas and schedule games with Kansas in the future.
At 2:20 the conference was still in session, and it was said that it might be some time yet before a decision was reached.
During the moon recess of the conference, Dr. H. K. Hine, of the faculty of the K-Aggen, said that substantial progress had been made.
"There is a desire on the part of all those present to reach an agreement," he said. "There are several points yet to be brought up for discussion." And, he added, it might be late today or tomorrow before a decision might be reached.
Fate to Be Determined
Kansas City, Dec. 5.-(UP)-The fate of the University of Kansas hung in the balance today an athletic representativeness survey shows a promising a decision before the end of the day upon the status of Kansas with to other members of the conference.
The opening of the meeting found Kansas virtually ousted from the conference a month ago when other members of the school enrolled in the school until charges of professionalism brought against "Jarring Jim" Bausch, Jayhawk backfield star, and other players were cleared up by Kan- der the disposition a "disposition to do the right thing."
Bausch Believed Ineligible
Since it has been found that other conference members are desirous to reach favorable conclusion to the conference, he scheduled with K. Ui, it was believed almost certain that since Bauch has automatically made himself intelligible a promised way" to do it could be found. It is considered possible, however, but some conference members would be unable to agree because Bauch, by agreeing to play in the East-West game and by failing in five hours of studies has become convinced that the conference makes him make a formal statement confirming the intelligibility of its star player.
**Charges Against 20 Pass.**
Cases against Kauai assault are understudied; some of 20 players, Bauch, by reason of his playing, has taken the limelight throughout the squabble, but coerfered them, may demand action in other cases, too.
It is believed possible that the meeting will result in the employment of a new staff member to assign chargees. To do so, however, would mean that the making of next year's schedules would again be postponed due to such action, since it would be difficult to schedule 1951 games with schools out of the conference in event of a strike.
Ahmadi and students of every university in the conference are openly demanding a final decision today, and it is doubtful that the faculty represent a majority of the technicians which would surely follow further postponement of such action.
