Murphy Stresses U.S. Role in So. American Enlightenment
The United States should enlighten the people of the Latin American countries and not be a landlord, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said in a speech last night.
"In a desire to solve serious economic imbalances, we have tended to put the cart before the horse." Chancellor Murphy said.
He addressed 250 persons at a dinner at the Hotel Muehlebach at the 40th annual convention of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
in creating social and economic stability in Latin America. Such stability, he said, would create a bulwark against world communism and lucrative trade prospects for America.
The Chancellor said that in some Latin American countries the U.S. government has financed the building of a major industrial plant while 50 per cent of the children receive no education.
He stressed the role of education
"Of course, short-range strategic necessities sometimes compel an apparently illogical performance on our part. Nevertheless, I am convinced that our whole philosophy of foreign aid has much too small an educational component in it," he explained.
Chancellor Murphy suggested legislation designed to assist American universities in the study of foreign languages and cultures. He said that there is a need for American assistance for a Latin American version of land grant colleges.

WASHINGTON — (UPI)—President Eisenhower has bestowed on John Foster Dulles, his ailing former Secretary of State, the nation's highest civilian decoration—the Medal of Freedom.
Dulles Given High Award
The decoration was disclosed by the White House today as Dulles lost more ground in his struggle against cancer and pneumonia.
Dulles spends much of his time in a drugged sleep because of analgesics administered to offset the gnawing pain.
The Medal of Freedom, originally established at the end of World War II, is awarded by the President "to any person for performance of a meritorious act or service in the interests of the security of the United States."
The State Department said Dulles "continues to grow weaker," was receiving pain killers and was "in general, comfortable."
The statement was read to newsmen yesterday by Lincoln White.
None of the department's recent announcements have contained any clinical details, such as Dulles' temperature, blod pressure or respiration. Family friends have denied that the former secretary was in a coma.
Cancer was found in Dulles' abdomen in February and appeared in his lower neck in April.
Margaret Mead says that anthropologists and archeologists are working with a great urgency today because man might be wiped out in 25 years.
A-Bomb Alters Role Of Anthropologist
Prof. Mead said, in a lecture yesterday, the atom bomb' machines and space travel are altering the role of those who study man's role on the earth.
"The atom bomb changed everything. I had almost finished a book when the bomb exploded, but I tore up every single page because I felt

the whole view was wrong" said the author of "Patterns of Culture" and other books on anthropology and sociology.
"Machines are taking over mental drudgery. By this I mean they are doing in a few minutes or hours what man would have to labor for years to do by himself.
Space and the growing expectation that man is going to leave this planet are the main reasons for the urgency of studying communication between peoples because of the possibility of other races on other planets, Prof. Mead said.
The famous Columbia University anthropologist said that present day anthropologists and archeologists are in a paradoxical situation.
They must decide whether to spend their time solving questions concerning man's evolution or to concentrate on developing better methods of communication between different peoples in the hope that better communications will enable man to survive on this planet.
"There is a great amount of pessimism in man's abilities. Many people are apathetic because they distrust the possibilities of the human race to build a world worth living in," she said.
"We have the obligation of exploring the delineation of man's long-term possibilities and solving problems that, if they are not solved soon, will not be solved at all."

KU Health Service Must Expand to Meet Influx
By Nancy Whalen
Editor's note—This is the second in a series of three articles on Watkins Hospital and the Student Health Service. The final article will be a survey of the All Student Council Health Committee of the hospital service and an overall view of the future of the health service.
Slightly over 50 years old this year, the Student Health Center has advanced from its earlier days by enlarging its staff but still lags behind in hospital facilities.
As the population of the campus grows with expectations for 15,000 by 1965, the physical facilities of Watkins Hospital have not grown accordingly.
The hospital today has a staff of six full-time physicians, and 13 full-time graduate nurses, in addition to three laboratory and X-ray technicians.
"The 52-bed capacity of the hospital is large enough to take care of only 10 per cent of the student body, said Dr. Ralph Canuteson, Student Health Center director.
"This 10 per cent can only be accommodated when all the available space is filled with beds," he said.
"Contrary to rumor, it was not organized to avoid isolating small-pox cases on the island in the Kaw River. This rumor has been soundly refuted by the reported victim." he said.
Dr. Canuteson said the health service originated in 1908 when most of the students were living in private rooming houses.
"Excellent hospital care, including general nursing and staff physician service, is provided for students needing bedrest. Often students who have only minor illnesses or are badly in need of a day of rest, are hospitalized as a preventive measure," Dr. Canutelson said.
"In 1931, the service was moved from Tennessee Street to the present building which was built, completely furnished, and given to the students of the University by Mrs. J. B. Watkins, daughter of a Kansas physician," said Dr. Canutson.
"We don't routinely notify the parents every time a student is admitted to the hospital. Each
patient is given a stamped post-card which they may send to anyone they wish to notify of their admittance to the hospital.
"The hospital always notifies the house where the student lives to let them know the student is in the hospital.
"If a serious accident case occurs we notify the parents without asking the student. This is done by telephone." Dr. Canuterson said.
"We have to have parental approval for any general operation. If we can't locate the parents we have legal permission to do whatever is necessary to save the patient's life." he said.
"The morning after a student's admission to the hospital, a card is sent to the dean of the school which the student is enrolled in as notification of the student's presence in the hospital. On the day of dismissal a card is also sent to the dean," Dr. Canuteson said.
He said a nurse always records the hour and the time a patient is admitted to the hospital.
"We do premarital examinations
and take care of all minor surgery and lacerations. If it is a major surgery case we will establish a diagnosis as soon as we can. If the student needs an operation it will be done in the operating room here." Dr. Canuteson said.
"The student will get any necessary laboratory tests he needs. There are no charges for these. There is a charge for X-ray if it is not in the process of making a routine physical examination, however," he said.
"The daily fee for students to stay in the hospital is $3, unless there is a major cost for medicine and X-ray treatment. If the student has to have very expensive medicine he must pay extra besides the $3 fee," Dr. Canuteson said.
"Private patients and non-students pay $12 a day. These people must pay for their own doctor and
Medicines are dispensed on prescription at cost, plus handling charges, and there is no charge for the administration of medicines prescribed by the family doctor to students coming to the hospital, he said.
X-ray treatment. We take nonstudents when we have room," Dr. Canuteson said.
He said the average cost for a student illness in the hospital is $12. This includes all nursing care and doctor's care, besides X-rays and medicine.
Dr. Canuteson said that special rooms are set aside for communicable diseases and that all rooms have radio and intercommunication systems.
The hospital visiting hours except for epidemic periods are 2 to 4 p.m. in the afternoon and 7 to 8 p.m. in the evening.
"Each patient may have only two visitors at one time for practical reasons which the hospital has," said Dr. Cauteson.
He said that most of the students who are in the hospital are sick and that they "perk up" when they have visitors.
"This is not conducive to curing the patient and we want to get the students out as fast as we can.
"Also, the reason for limiting the number of visitors is that the rooms become crowded with too many people in them," he said.
