FACULTY DISCUSSES
FRESHMAN COURSES
Special Committee Submit Statement on the Aims of a College Education
TO REVISE GROUP SYSTEM
Several New Courses Introduced and Number of New Courses Authorized
.
The report of the special faculty committee on statement of the aims of a college education was received by the faculty of the college of liberal arts at its meeting yesterday afternoon. It was discussed at length, and suggestions made for its publication in bulletin form.
Some of the committee's recommendations for co-relation of freshman courses with high school work and its tentative course intended to give entertaining students a broad understanding of University courses brought out most of the discussion. The committee was asked to make a more detailed report on the subject for all freshmen, and submit the amplified report to the committee on the revision of the group system.
The statement of the aims of a liberal college education which met the general approval of the faculty members, was as follows;
The college course should be directed to the following ends:
"1. To awaken the student to the problems of the personal and civic life of his own day.
"2. To develop in him, with relation to these problems, something both of the historical sense and of the scientific spirit; an understanding of the original meaning of the work of fearless, disinterested, critical thought in analyzing those conditions.
"3. Since the college course is to be regarded not as the end but as almost the beginning of the lifelong process of orientation in the world of men and ideas, to equip the student with such knowledge, training, and in serviceable acquaintance with other tongues, and to cultivate in him such tastes for literature, and arts as shall make his citizenship in the world both effective and profitable, will be essential, especially field that the student may become immediately useful to see ect."
The college faculty authorized the introduction next semester of a 2-hour course "Social Factors in Politics," and the division of the present 3-hour course in Ethics of Political Science to a 2-hour course. Professor Hopkins was authorized to change his 2-hour course in verification, now given in the fall semester, into a 1-hour course running through the year. A number of other requests have been in distribution or credited, and in definition of courses we were authorized.
DEPUTIES HAVE BIG LAWYER
Sheriffs Who Killed Strike Organizer Well Defended
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Pittsburgh, May 17, (United Press,
—One of the leading criminal lawyers in
the country—Body P., Marshall of
Pittsburgh—will defend the three
deputy sheriffs facing trial here for
the murder of four United Workers' organizer.
Marshall will seek to free Edward Mamison, John Pearson and D. B. Beilly of charges of blowing off the top of Mrs. Sellina' head during a mine strike at Brickcreek August 25, 1919.
Assistant District Attorney Robert M. Gibbons will prosecute the three deputies, assisted by John Robb, JR. and Victor B. Bouton, attorneys for Jack Sellina, who raised a fund of $45,000 to avenge the slavings of his mother.
Both sides were anxious to bring the case to an early trial, probably in June, but the coal strike with its shootings and riots in the Connellsville Coke region temporarily halted any move along that line.
"The Brackenridge Tradey" as the shooting of Fannie丝芙is familiarly called, was the outgrowth of a strike of the Allegheny Valley Coke & Coal Company, a subsidiary of the Allegheny Steel Company.
Janes Oats, organizer and co-worker of Mrs. Sellins, testified before the grand jury that Mrs. Sellins was shot while urging women and children into their homes to escape indiscriminate firing.
sails. Strells, Oats charged, was shot on private property in West Natalna and at no time was she trespassing company property.
The case against the three deputies lagged for a year and a half before it finally was brought before the grand jury. That body after seven hours secret hearings indicted the three deputies for the murders of Mrs. Sellins and John Streoselecki, a miner.
Cornell Starts Building Another Dormitory Hall
Construction work is to begin immediately on Boldt Hall, new dormitory at Cornell University, according to a recent announcement made by the board of trustees. The building will accommodate sixty men. It is planned to allow the custom of memorial rooms, now used in connection with the other dormitories, to be continued here.
According to this plan, the room will be named after the donor of a sum which is practically the cost of the room, in this case it will be $167,000. The running expenses will be drawn from the room rental and from the annual appropriation from the alumni fund.

HOT RACE ON IN ARKANSAS

Gubernatorial Fight Is Spirited In That State
Little Rock, Ark., May 17, (United Press*)—Interest in Arkansas politics is equally divided between the gubernatorial and congressional races. With Judge E. P. Toney of Lake Village stumping the state in opposition to Governor McRae's nomination, Democratic nomination for governor next August promises to be the liveliest ever participated in by a "second-term" man. While Governor McRae is strongly backed by banking interests of the state and will continue to bid for the popular favor by his "anti-politician" campaign, he has also been candidate of political leaders of the state. Toney has challenged McRae to a joint speaking tour of the state. In the congressional race for the Democratic nomination in the fifth Congressional District, including Little River and Dardnelle, who has announced his intention of resigning, several would be nominees have already thrown their hats in the ring.
