KU, Oxford Draw 'No Decision'
"There'll always be an England" was proved Friday in Fraser Theater when two young Britons from Oxford University debated the negative of the resolution: "That social security breeds spiritual poverty" before an audience of 225 persons.
After being introduced by E. C. Buehler, professor of public speaking, Alec Grant of London and Roy Dickson of Jamaica battled University debaters John Fields, Kansas City, Kan., third-year law student, and Heywood Davis, Kansas City, Mo., second-year law student, in a "no decision" contest
Davis, in the opening affirmative argument, referred to social security as "spoon feeding." He said that because Americans are taxed 25 per cent they are "tools of the state," but because Britons are taxed 45 per cent they are "heavy machinery."
The debate was held in the English style and the traditional "hear, hear" was heard only once. When Fields said that America has the highest standard of living in the world, Mr. Grant voiced approval.
Mr. Grant argued that you are your brother's keeper and that social benefits are everyone's responsibility. "Money cannot buy friends, only the better class of enemies. Culture is a manifestation of society. And culture will never suffer from people doing good."
Fields, in rebuttal, quoted Sir Winston Churchill: "Social distribution of wealth . . . will bring ruin to our state."
Mr. Dickson, after pointing out that "Mr. Churchhill has been known to be wrong," said there could be no distinction between government and the people.
"Man is not a tool of the state. Government is there only to serve the people," he said.

Pioneer Imagination Seen In Coverlets
Pioneer women of the 19th century had imagination, if the names they gave woven coverlets are any indication. "Lover's Knot," "Young Man's Fancy," and "Missouri Trouble" are only a few of the coverlets on display in the lower gallery of the Museum of Art.
The coverlets and pillow covers were made of flax, cotton and wool, and dyed with vegetable dyes made by the women. They are displayed with samples of 19th century American furniture and prints.
Most of the exhibits are from the Thayer Memorial Collection. The late Miss Rose Morgan and Mrs. Karl Kluse of Los Angeles also contributed.
