FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1929 EDUCATION PRO AND CON Education ought to make a person intelligent, self-reliant and co-operative declared Bertrand Russell, in his constructive speech to an attentive audience last night. But political authority is allowed to decide what shall be taught in the schools and has near at heart the interests of its pet propaganda than the best development of the child. Therefore the education of today is not accomplishing the ideals which it should. In dynamic manner the defender of modern education, Will Durant, asserted that a person having suffered from education arriving at a mature age will forgive its faults in view of the benefit it has granted. If education has improved, a fact which is apparent on all sides, it is ungrateful to say that it is a failure. Nothing should be put to death simply because it has faults for there exists no institution which has none. So convincing were the arguments of these two world-famous philosophers that the minds of the audience in general were left in the dilemma in which the reader of "The Tiger or the Lady" finds himself at the story's conclusion. But there was no such doubt about the audience's enthusiasm. SURMOUNTING PREJUDICE The thrill that comes once in a lifetime is the feeling you get when you are offered a ride up the hill between 8 and 8:30 a. m. A negro woman has been elected to the Cleveland School Board. It is the first time that any negro has ever held a place on the board in this city. Not only was she elected but she won her place with a majority of 3,000 votes over her closest opponent. And this woman is the child of parents born, raised and married in slavery. "I am proud that my parents were born in slavery," she says, "because of what they achieved." Of her six brothers two are lawyers, two are doctors and two are dentists, while she is a leader in the educational field of her city. She has a right not only to be proud of her parents, but of her own great achievements. Having parents with no educational background and but small real opportunity herself, and that beset by more than the ordinary obstacles, she has risen to the top of the teaching profession. She has accomplished that most difficult of feats, the winning of recognition from race-prejudiced whites. A sand-box was couted from Fraser hall yesterday. The University must be raising its standards, concludes the Thoughtful Freshman. AIR MINDED ALASKA Alaska has one airport for every nine hundred inhabitants, a recent survey of aviation in that country shows. The territory has 65 airports and is devoting approximately one hundred thousand dollars to the extension of the service. Even the Territorial Board spends nearly one half of its annual road tax money on landing fields. This widespread interest in aviation in Alaska is marking the beginning of a new era for that country the increase in the speed of travel I phenomenal. The airplane traverse as much space in five hours as the do team covers in thirty days in the rougher sections of the country Hereofore, disease in an isolated section brought many deaths before medlc could be transported to stricken communities. Thus the airplanes bring Alaska nearer to itself an nearer to the rest of the world. NEXT CURVE DEATH Speeding, careless and reckless driving, now rampant on the Hill, may cost suffering and perhaps death. At the present time the laxity noticed in the parking coupled with the careless driving are a serious inconvenience to pedestrians. Student movements have been used to correct some serious problems and the same method can be utilized again, if necessary. We grant that there is an attempt to correct this menace but the attempt has not been successful and there is a need for more drastic measures. The problem is not one to be handled by the city; it is distinctly one for the student body. It seems that the best way to reach the hearts and minds of present day humanity is through their pocketbooks and not by appeal. The student council is a body to handle such matters, and it might be well for them to try all cases, assess monetary fines, and for second offenses credit hours as they see fit. An increased police force also seems to be necessary. There are a number of students, with a determination to gain an education, willing to undertake enforcement of traffic rules for the salary that would be derived. The problem must be solved as a supreme price is more than the University wishes to pay. WE SHALL NOT FORGET One hour in which to reverence the 129 war dead of the University of Kansas is allotted to the University as a whole. In this one hour we pay homage to the most supreme courage and devotion. To attend the convocation held for this purpose and to listen attentively to what the speakers have to say is not enough. It is fitting that on this day we solemnly determine to carry on all the principles that these men made the supreme sacrifice to perpetuate. We cannot with a clear conscience fail to attend the convocation. It has a different purpose than any other, it is not meant to inform us on any point or to entertain us, but it is an opportunity to honor all, both living and dead, who received and accepted an offer to protect our homes and country from the ravages of a foe acting without scruples against the base that humanity is built upon. Picture to yourself the horrors of warfare, brutal killing of fellow humans, pain and torture often without the murry of death, is what these men suffered, so that we over here might live on in peace and tranquility. We owe them a debt, a debt that can not be paid in an hour, a debt that can not be paid in a year, nor can it be measured by time. Because of this, attendance at the service commemorating the war dead is a debt of honor; to do otherwise would indicate a lack of respect and feeling that would distinctly not be at home in this or any other campus. RED EAGLE IS DEAD No longer will the eyes of the Che-Sho-Shi-Kah look out upon the lands of his ancestors. No longer will he attire himself in the costumes that were once so dear to his race. No longer will he paint himself with carefully drawn designs for the observance of feasting days and ceremony days. The spirit of Chief Che-Sho-Shi-Kah has gone to the Happy Hunting ground. For 90 years, this Osage Indian chief, Red Eagle, lived, setting an example that has been followed by few others of his tribe. He had riches, but he continued to live his Indian ways. The freedom his tribe had before the coming of the white man meant more to him than money, and as a result he always held a grudge against the whites. Red Eagle did not partake in any Social and Intellectual Growth Chief Aims of Students. Report Shows During two successive years more than 1400 students in the University were asked to state in an impartial manner what they believed the sum total of their experiences in the University had done for them. Eighty percent of the number were upper class and graduate students. Aside from this fact, class groups were taken in a way most likely to give no definite sort of selection. This inquiry was conducted by a committee of senior lecturers who were inquiry having more extended The responses were collected and tabulated with such care as to make the analysis seem rather significant. RY F. B. OBRIEN The outcomes which were especially emphasized were intellectual and social. Other values were also given a prominent place. Nearly 1200 of the responses stated that college training had made the students more independent or critical in their way of thinking. About the same number of the luxuries of this age. Because of his resentment toward the "punface" race, he seldom went to town. Instead, he would remain at his ranch and gather his Indian friends about him to talk of the days before the white man came, when buffalo and wild game abounded in plenty, and of the Indian wars in Southern Oklahoma and Texas. Bureau of School Service and Research This picturesque person has left this world forever. He has joined his ancestors who have gone before him, in the happy hunting ground, where they say wild game is plentiful; where he and his people can go back to their old customs and mammals, The Sho-Sho-Kin-Had longed with the others of his race for the days when Indians could freely go their way. He was reared among the stancehest of his tribe and typified the attitude which modern civilization has upon his people. PRESIDENTIAL LEAD The Hoover administration continues to tighten up prohibition enforcement. Since the inauguration of President Hoover a more strict and rigid policy has been followed in regard to cleaning up the liquor traffic. A few days after the President's inaugural address, he issued a request to all prohibition officers, sheeria and district attorneys, asking them for more rigid enforcement of the eighteenth amendment. Since that time, the district attorneys and sheriffs all over the country have worked for more convictions. Rigorous clean-up campaigns have been conducted in the cities, and in different sections of the country. Now we have an investigation into an alleged "boose party," which recurred several years ago. Almost simultaneous with this, a certain Foreign Representative set a precedent in diplomatic life in Washington, which has enjoyed complete immunity from all of the legislation prohibiting alcoholic liquors since the eighteenth amendment was adopted, by saying he would import no more liquor into the United States. If the weather man keeps on pre dieting snow, he's bound to win out some day. This so-called "Wall street booze party" has been brought to light by Senator W. Brookhart. He insists that the affair was given in Washington for the entertainment of newly elected senators. Such statements created no small stir in political circles, and the grand jury has started an investigation. Just what the result will be remains to be seen, but it does show that the present administration is leaving no stone unturned in its attempts to clean up and punish liquor violators. "MODERN EDUCATION" Helps one to select Good Food "We Have It" THE CAFETERIA thinking. About the same number *stimulated* that it had provided them with "more definite social and intellectual experience" in achievement of themselves or of others. Three fourths of the number thought that their experiences in the world prepared them better to live with or to be of service to their fellow men. Further evidence that they had developed an ability of disposition to think for themselves is provided by their involvement in the training and made them more suspicious of assertions or conclusions which one sees in printed form. It may be a number stated that their training had made them appreciate values and enjoy participation in group discussions; "to read current literature" bore some relation to their recognition of values in a discussion of current precepts; and felt that their previous convictions or prejudices have been reinforced to any marked degree or that college interests have caused their concern for social welfare. More than 60 per cent of these students thought that their college experiences had decidedly increased their future profession or vocation. They were also asked what they would most like to have a university course in, whether it be their interest or ambition in providing for a source of income, they placed vocational preparation foremost in the list of these outcomes and sought out the courses and lists of outcomes for which they would wish to have a university provide, the development of intellectual, social and personal skills, was given a rating second to the more directly vocational aim of instruction. Various factors have tended to place emphasis upon the grades achieved by students. In view of this situation, a majority of these students wished a majority of these students wished no grades were employed except "satisfactory" and "unmisfortunate." Consideration was given to those students to be derived from participation in various types of college activities. An average of two activities participated in was reported by the students. So far, there are only five church organizations each included 22 per cent of the total; athletics and departmental clubs, each 13 per cent; church musical organizations, each six per Get a New Desk Blotter Free — at Bullocks event; while student politics had claimed the participation of ten per cent of the activities reported. Among the values which students claimed were secured from participation in these activities, the one most important was the development of initiative, self-conference or personality traits and the discovery of congonial companionship. Recruitment and the development of social skills were given prominence. Many referred to the training in working with others which was derived from such activities. The opportunity to secure persistence and develop competencies varied highly. Most students regarded the values resident in such activities as more important than receiving high grades in class work, although the majority considered to be mutually exclusive. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Having streadily refused to rename of Will Durant's synthetic philosophy these many days, I went to the debate (so-called) last evening expecting great things. Surely, I hoped, Bertzrd Russell's reputation in Asia as a great thinker is based on real critical powers. He ought to have a swell time with Americanism as mouthed by Durant. So, because I had a hard uncompromising seat, I sat awake through two hours of what I should like to call intellectual prostitution, and I present it. From the "arguments" of the learned gentlemen, I deduced that they hadn't enjoyed schooldays. From their wistfulness I concluded they'd like to go back to school. And from their jokes I assumed that it wouldn't hurt them. No one was offended last night. No one was meant to be. Didn't we pay good money to hear them talk? Well, then, why should they insult the goose that lays the golden egg? Instead of ideas they gave us wiser cracks. Mr. Durant won 31 laughs; Mr. When You Are Hungry you need Good food.
