Arthur E. Morgan Predicts Culture Entirely American
Antioch Plan of Education Explained by President in Convocation Address
"As an outcome of the culture from foreign countries pouring holder shelter into America, so fast that no one man can assimilate even on per cent of the population," he said by synthesis a new culture which will be wholly American," said President Arthur E. Morgan in his address to the all-University convoction this morning in which he spoke of the education and solutions confronting America.
"Civilization," said President Morgan, "is not inherent but is a compilation of outside environments. We do not know what real human nature is, but only what it is after the killing from the influence of society."
Customs Extend Far Back
In illustrating the hungling down of customs and habits from generation to generation President Muglen cited as the reason for the continued hold today that are resultant of services and celebrations of an ancient age. "The Christmas tree which we use today as a symbol of the season," he said, "had its origin with the primitive people who worshiped trees. Also with the New Year's celebrations which we host, they take their origination from the people celebrated Saturnalia, the increase in the length of daylight."
Due to one of our greatest instincts, that of imitation, many customs and habits have been preserved which would have otherwise been lost. If the primitive man who learned to use rough tools, things which took 1000 years to acquire, he would then be to his ancestors the things which he had acquired; if they, by some break in the chain affairs, had not been able to imitate what he had already learned, civilization would have been retarded 100,000 years. It is only nature that the imitation is one of the instincts due to the lack of originality of man.
Culture More General Now
In contrast to the past generations where individual culture and each handed down its culture to its children, making maintenance of culture city. America today is not divided sharply into classes and the children do not get in close contact with their parents in urban areas. But in some sort of system where such things can be obtained."
"The influence of the church is losing its hold. The church should see this and not base its teachings only on traditional affairs, but should build a synthesis on meeting modern demands by selecting the good from all the things." At Artocourt we are trying to look over the whole human range and find what man is finding best for him. Education is a desire for symmetry and relative values, to carry interests in a way that others which are equally an important.
In discussing the extent of culture he brought out how some of the culture handed down to us, because of its bad influence, was being dropped, while other that was beneficial, was surviving. "Commercial instinct has done much in answering our needs for wealth, travel, communication, print and the arts," he said. "We do away with human drearyry," said President Morgan.
"The statement has been made," he said, "that we are not training men to make a living, but to live. This is not entirely true, for a man cannot live unless he is able to provide for himself.
Men Developed Physically
"We try to know the student physically and psychologically, and provide physical organization, to build a good body so that he may be better able to do his work. However, we are not conferencing a stadium with classroom chairs."
Study in Shifts
"Ai Autheh the students are on " five weeks shifts, working for five weeks in some industry and returning for five weeks for further curriculum study. This gives them much expiential time, for almost half of their education."
At the opening of the convention Alice Monceriel sang "On the Sea" by Mark Andrews and as an encore composed by Mrs. A. J. Anderson

Texas Wins Decision on McNary-Haugen Farm Bill Legislation
Both Affirmative and Negative Give Conclusive Evidence on Situation
Had President Coolidge sat in central Administration auditorium last night and heard the Texas-Kansas debate on the merits of the McNary-Haugen farm bill, he would have said that the opinions of the judges were correct. The vote was unanimous for the Texas debaters who presented the negative side of the question: "Resolved that Congress should enact legislation animating the principle of the McNary-Haugen farm bill."
Both the affirmative and negative showed conclusive evidence which could be used to credit or discredit but the southern visitors were slightly less confident in seeing and presenting the points they felt to impress upon the listeners.
The Kansas men, in presenting the affirmative, laid the blame for the present status of the farmer upon three factors: the present immeasurable mortgage debt he is behaving with, the fact that the farmer's dollar; and the fact that he has no organization as has industry and labor. The agricultural group was characterized as "a flaw in the ointment of prosperity." The proposed bill would relieve farmers by giving more power to their creditors. The farmers pay their debts, and organize them for the control of prices.
The negative side was even more emphatic in describing the results which would arise from the bill in operation. They presented the situation as "a radical measure striking at the American ideal of free competition, by reducing the result of a natural cycle which will adjust itself if given time" they argued further. They blamed the farmer and his tendency toward over-production for his own illness." The Texas debaters were Marion Olsen and Percy Foreman; the latter was seen here last year in the Missouri Valley Oratorical Contest. Barry Hammond, a University c28 representative Kansas. The contest was an official Missouri Valley conference debate.

State Educational Appropriation Bill Still Uncertainty
Joint Committee Working Out Details Before Submitting Draft for Vote
for Vote
Uncertainty about the appropriation, for the University and other state educational institutions prevails, according to reports from Topeka.
With the budget committee, formed from members of the ways and means committees of both houses, working together before the end of the session and with a new system for evolving the appropriation bills, it is not yet possible to figure the outcome, according to the secretary of the alumni association.
In former years the house and senate have both drafted appropriation bills. This has led to considerable delay, and it has been necessary finally to send the bills to a joint committee for compromise.
Budget Committee Formed
bunge A minister-formed committee was formed from the ways and means committees of both houses. The committee is composed of four members from the senate and five from the house of representatives. This new arrangement is said to have made the appropriation measures.
The appropriation bill has not been drafted yet, as a story in the Kansas night imputed. The Board of Regents has made recommendations to the budget committee that the University be allowance $10,925,000 for the implementation and nonrejection has not been accepted nor rejected by the budget committee.
May Replace Snow Hall
If we budget committee asks us upon the board of Regents and drafts it in the appropriation bill, it will then be necessary that both houses of the legislature pass the measure. The recommendations of the Board of Regents are to hold a meeting and reimbursement of, Snow hall.
The budget committee has already considered appropriations for the state penal and charitable institutions and will present to the legislature "a position to the legislature.

Cold Water of Potter Chills Would-be Ederle
It is the opinion of Md Munre Montunu uncle, of the department of journalism, that if models are given for a product, the model should have at least two of them.
Perhaps the spring-like weather yesterday afternoon gave him the illusion that he was attending summer school, maybe it was a学期 longer than expected. A proof that Barmann was not a liair, at any rate Murco rescorrected a swimming suit from the depths of its winter retirement and took a plunge in Potter lake. The water was still very cold. A year ago who had come down to the lake prepared to go in with him backed out and after a single speedy trip across the lake the original brave abandoned the attempt, convinced that the lake was no longer affected by quickly affected with spring fever as are students.

Men's Intramural Editorial Is Given Substantial Basis
Scores Made in Swimming Meet Not Yet Known by Managers, Is Report
Dr. Forest C. Allen in an interview published in yesterday's Kaman resulted several of the statements made in the editorial.
The intramural managers of no less than four organizations corroborate the statements set forth in the edi- tion. They are empowering the Kansan Monday.
Total Points Wanted
This statement was made today by Robert Mise, writer of the editorial, "The eight 'mistakes' listed in the editorial were brought to my attention." I learned from him that the scoring of points in the swimming meet had not been made public. After Doctor Allen denied the statement in Wednesday's Kaman, I talked to three other managers who learned the score of the meet.
"The organizations should be informed of the total points made by each team—the points averaged by each team, plus the points awarded for entries."
"If the rules both of competition and scoring are in printed form as Doctor Allan says, I must refract my view that the director's role in many cases is retrospective on the part of the directors.' However, the intramural managers, including the one I interviewed for the first edition, do not aware of these printed forms."
Scoring System Non-Proportionate
"Since the scoring of certain
event—such as handball—is out of
proportion, and since the manager
wrote that the team should voice their complaint,
the criticism was brought to the attention of the intrudual director.
Nothing resulted. The Intranural Managers Association has not been called together this year, so the misinformed manager is obligated to one opening was left—and that was the Kansas.
"This is only one criticism among many that was received by the editorial. All the difficulties could be at a meeting of the association."
