Asians Praised By Speaker
"The people of 'Asia' are not the masses but are individuals who are the most affectionate, most courteous and most dignified people I have ever met," said Peyton Short, regional secretary of the World University Service, at an informal coffee hour.
"Quality and appreciation of life is the keynote of existence for the Asiatic people," Mr. Short said. "In Japan, for example every movement in eating is made to show the charm and appreciation of the delicacy and the beauty of food."
"This is a distinct contrast to eating in the United States where we 'gobble down' our food. The American way of life lacks the fellowship and unselfishness that dominates the Eastern world."
"The American people are losing ground in Asia because they are too busy with their own affairs to help the Asiatic people help themselves in raising their standard of living. At the present we have the affection of free Asia and it is up to us to take advantage of the situation."
Mr. Short urged that the American people help in Asia's recovery by closer communication and friendship with the individuals of Asia who need assistance and want to be friends.
"When I talk of losing Asia, I mean losing the friendship of Asia. We must learn to understand them and promote fellowship with closer communication," Mr. Short concluded.

Eland and Kimblal debated the resolution: "That this house regrets the American pedagogue, before an audience of 50. The debate was English-style, in which the audience decides the winner. Twenty persons would not commit themselves.
"We had a slight advantage in that this type of debating was new

to the Colorado team," said Ted Barnes, Salina graduate student. "But they were prepared and enjoyed themselves to such an extent that we are scheduling a rematch for next year."
Peter P. Vaughn, assistant curator in charge of lower fossil vertebrates of the Museum of Natural History, told the Daily Kansan Tuesday that it was in error in a story in the Friday issue. The story said that possibly the second oldest dinosaur had been found in Kansas. Mr. Vaughn said that it was an ankylosaur, one of a group of dinosaurs having an incasing armor of bony plates.

Barnes, who moderated the debate, explained that not every debater can handle his audience in this type of debate. It takes real showmen and Eland and Kimbal did extremely well. We are planning to have the same sort of debate with the Oklahoma debate squad on the Friday before the KU-Oklahoma football game."
