The Kansas Industrialist Volume 73 Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science, Manhattan, Thursday, October 3, 1946 Number 1 I is V ^ PRESIDENT EISENHOWER ELECTED HEAD OF U. COMMISSION Group will advise state department on UNESCO President Milton S.

Eisenhower has been notified of his election in Washington, D. C, as permanent chairman of the United States Com- mission on International Educational, Scientific and Cultural Cooperation. It probably will be necessary for President Eisenhower, as chairman of the commission, to attend the confer- ence in Paris of the United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Or- ganization (UNESCO) from late No- vember until mid-December. Two months ago Congress author- ized United States participation in UNESCO.

The act provides that a U. Commission is to advise the state department on United States partici- pation in UNESCO. This commission, by law, has 100 members, 60 repre- senting various educational and sci- entific groups, and 40 selected at large by the Secretary of State. Pres- ident Eisenhower was selected as a member at large by the Secretary of State. The first organizational meeting of the commission of 100 was September 23 to 27 in Washington. Attending were nationally known educators, writers, publishers, scientists and others. Eisenhower could not at- tend because of the opening of Col- lege and the many emergency prob- lems arising out of the record break- ing enrolment.

The commission of 100 elected Eisenhower permanent chairman. Other officers of the U. Commission include three vice-chairmen, Edward W. Barrett, editorial director of Newsweek; Chancellor Arthur H Compton, Washington University, St. Louis; and Waldo G.

Leland, director of the American Council of Learned Societies, Washington, D. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HAS 15 There is an executive committee of 15, which in addition to Eisen- hower, Barrett, Compton, and Leland, includes, among others: Ben M. Cher- rington, University of' Denver; Eric Johnston, Motion Picture Association of America; William G.

Carr, Na- tional Education Association;.lustin Miller, National Association of Broad- casters; Msgr. Hochwalt, National Catholic Welfare Confer- ence; and Kathryn McHale, American Association of University Women. At the meeting in Washington last week the commission urged that the American delegates to the UNESCO Paris conference look for 'elimina- tion of censorship in all countries.' The purpose of UNESCO is to pro- mote world understanding and coop- eration The state department has indicated it regards the U. Commis- sion as of utmost importance in its program of international cooperation^ Washington newspapers have carried extensive accounts of the selection of the commission of 100, the naming of Milton Eisenhower as chairman, and the purposes for which the com- mission was established. The chairmanship of this commis- sion is another of an imposing list of major tasks which have been placed '„ Eisenhower's hands.

He is chair- man of the executive committee of the Association of Land Grant Colleges an' Universities. The committee man- Us all affairs of the association'! Its relations with Congress and vari- ous governmental agencies. Last 8 im- „um he was appointed by Preside* Truman to the 30-member President s commission on higher education to iy the over-burdened college sys- uT in the U.

And find how it can Lest accomplish its Job during the next few years. POSTWAR INFLUX OF STUDENTS BRINGS PROBLEMS FOR K. Thif:;yu;^^ the war..

DENDURENT APPOINTED ASSISTANT ALUMNI SECRETARY AT THE COLLEGE The appointment of H. Dendu- rent, managing editor of the Manhat- tan Mercury-Chronicle, as full-time assistant alumni secretary at Kansas State College effective October 1 has been announced by President Milton S.

A graduate of the College and a veteran, Dendurent will work with Kenney L. Ford, alumni secretary- j His immediate job will be assisting I with the campaign to raise funds for i an all-faith chapel as a World War II memorial on the campus. He will spend some time working with alumni groups throughout the state. Dendurent was graduated from the College in 1934 with a major in jour- nalism.

After a short interval with the Seaton Publications in Manhat- tan, he edited the Johnson, Kan., Pioneer for a year. He was city edi- tor of the Goodland Daily News for another year. In October, 1936, Dendurent be- came managing editor of the Man- hattan Morning Chronicle. The fol- lowing year he was appointed man- aging editor of the Manhattan Mer- cury, which job he held until March, 1942, when he entered the Army.

Dendurent edited the Camp Barke- ley, Texas, News for three years. He was later editor of an army paper at Camp Huckstep, near Cairo, Egypt, for six months. Discharged from the Army in October, 1945, he returned to Seaton Publications as managing editor of the Manhattan Mercury-Chronicle last November. Dendurent is a member of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional jour- nalism fraternity.

While in College, he edited the Kansas State Collegian, student newspaper. His parents are Mr. Dendurent, Good- land. College officials have feeding, housing worries with 6,488 enrolled Kansas State College's enrollment reached a new all-time high during the fall registration as nearly 6,500 students flooded the campus and created immense problems of hous- ing, feeding, teaching and administra- tion. The registrar's office reported Tues- day afternoon that the number of registrants had reached 6,48 8. About two-thirds are veterans. College officials estimated that an additional 2,000 Kansas students had failed to register after filing applica- tions because of the difficulty in find- ing rooms.

Several thousand out-of- state applicants were denied permis- sion to enter after a priority system favoring Kansas residents was adopt- ed last May. Enrollment for the 19 46-47 year is more than 2,300 above the for- mer peak enrollment in 19 40. More than 4,000 of the students are veter- ans attending under the GI Bill of Rights, with about 250 registered under the Vocational Rehabilitation Bill. The influx of students is equal to about 50 percent of the normal population of Manhattan. Restaurants, boarding houses and other eating places in Manhattan are crammed to capacity during meal hours and are further handicapped by a lack of experienced help and diffi- culties in procuring food. Housing accommodations are de- scribed as adequate by College offi- cials. Scores of Manhattan homes which normally do not take roomers are renting rooms this year.

Fra- ternities and sororities have crowded more people into their houses and Van Zile hall is housing 20 percent more women than ever before. The faculty and classroom short- age is being handled by increasing the size of class sections and by sched- uling classes for 7 a.

Some laboratory classes are meeting from 7 until 10 p. NEW GEOLOGY DE PAR TMENT CREATED AT THE COLLEGE 9 Shcllenbeiger Returns to K.

And he is enchanted, as well he might be, by the boys and girls of the Midwest, both rural and urban: 'They are the freest, most natural, most poised young people in all the countries of the western world.' The book contains illuminating discussions of the history, people, myths, institutions, problems, politics, virtues, defects, successes and fail- ures of the American Midlands. The book's jacket refers to the author as a modern Bryce. This is erroneous.

In his great book about the United States, Bryce restricted himself close- ly to our government. In 'Midwest at Noon,' Graham Hutton discusses almost everything Midwestern. LOOKING AROUND KENNEY L.

FORD BOOKS American MldliuidN 'Midwest at Noon.' By Graham Hut- ton. The University of Chicago Press. Since 1831, when Alexis de Tocque- ville became convinced that the Mis- sissippi Valley would one day be the home of the world's greatest civiliza- tion, interest in the American Mid- lands has increased steadily among students of nations and peoples. De- velopments during the intervening years have approached fulfillment of the young Frenchman's prediction. The enormous strength displayed by the region during the recent war has intensified the already keen interest of foreigners.

It would be difficult to find a more stimulating appraisal of the region and its people than that given in 'Midwest at Noon.' The author, an engagingly candid Frenchman, lived in the Midwest for several years just preceding 19 46.

He traveled tens of thousands of miles in the Midwest and elsewhere in the United States. He visited all sorts of places, in town and country, and observed and talked with all sorts of men, women and children.

With his keen intelligence, his background of residence in sev- eral European countries and his care- ful appraisal of what he saw, heard and read, he was able to produce a book which any intelligent American, and particularly any thoughtful Mid- westerner, may read with pleasure and profit. Defining the Midwest as the states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Mis- souri, he refers only incidentally to the marginal areas of Kansas and other plains states.

He doesn't like the Midwest climate, which he char- acterizes as savage. He rails against that climate as many Americans, probably with less warrant, rail against the English climate. But he gives some credit to the climate for the amazing achievements of Mid- westerners in devising and manufac- turing mechanical contrivances used as a defense against their weather. In climate, as in all other features, he finds that the Midwest, 'lies in the latitude and longitude of Ameri- can extremes and within parallels of paradox.' The author points out many im- portant contrasts between the rural and the urban Midwest. He seems somewhat more at home in the towns and cities than on the farms. Un- consciously, no doubt, he cherishes some Hamlin Garland-like delusions about farm life.

'What makes any man a farmer, anywhere in the world ' he says, 'may tax our imagi- nations... • There is probably very little deliberate decision about en- tering such vocations.' If he had stopped there he would have been auite disqualified to discuss the Mid- west But further along, in discuss- ing some of his many farm visits he redeems himself by speaking of the farm operators as 'hard-working, thrifty conscientious farmers who loved their land, their state then- country and their calling.' And he shows percipience when he praises the conversation he heard in farm homes as 'direct, elemental, simple, TtZ S over-simplified, but extremely rational and open minded.

Now and then he becomes lyrical, as when he describes the an.st.ciin- o-oivpness of certain parts of Chi- 'Tor the beauty of the Midwest A meeting of Kansas State alumni is planned for Saturday, October 5, at 11:30 a. Before the football game, at the Cornhusker Hotel in Lincoln, Neb. President Milton Eisen- hower will speak at the luncheon.

'26, Re- gional Agricultural Rehabilitation Office, UNRRA, YMCA, Compound, Kaifeng, Honan, China: 'I have rea- son each day to think of you and wish you good health and that you could be here with Kay H. '28, and I for awhile to advise us about the selection and propagation of fruits and trees for this huge Honan plain. Kay is with the Friends Am- bulance Unit and is presently loaned to the Chinese National Rehabilita- tion and Relief Administration at Kaifeng to do anything he can to help in the restoration of the flooded area. Wan, head of CNRIIA Technical Section, who is a forestry professor, are establishing a nursery at FanChia where we are training Chinese college graduates to train other students and farm boys to operate tractors and farm ma- chinery. 'Incidentally to the training we have since the first of June plowed and disked about 1500 acres of the finest land in the world and the peo- ple have planted, and are actually eating green beans from the first strip plowed, about 1200 acres of some kind of small seeded cow pea which they call green beans.

We have much sweet corn, pole beans, snap beans, tomato squash and numerous other plant beds and kinds of seed plants. Kay is making cuttings of poplar and other things such as wild pear roots. He is planting apricot and peach seeds and will get some grape cut- tings from the Catholic Missions who raise fine grapes at some places. I've seen some fine arbors and vineyards. 'We had all of the most delicious apricots and peaches we could eat. Still have peaches, and now some fine red and yellow plums. Things taste different than ours but some of them taste better.

Their vegetables put ours to shame in quality and quantity. Only city people use them and not many farmers are engaged in vege- table gardening because the long dry winters and spring make irrigation from the few wells by windlass diffi- cult. The country people (90 per- cent are farmers) eat the peas, beans, wheat, peanut, sweet potatoes, millet and Kaoliang supplemented with weeds and things they plant in their fields. 'You would enjoy tasting the fine melons they raise.

They have many variations of a kind of muskmelon which they eat rind and all with much gusto and sucking and noise as they sit on their haunches in the street or road to rest or chat. I am anxious to get one of the 'three whites' water- melons, white rind, white meat, white ) seeds. They are a late melon and prized by many and I haven't had j one yet.

I can't tell them from any other white skinned melon and don't have Kay here to talk to the vendors. Kay has studied the language until he can even read some. They call watermelon Shi Gwa and cucumbers (some 12 to 18 inches long and some 3 inches thru) Hwang Gwa.

I've learned to understand many of the things they say and about 500 words and some 100 phrases. The people like Kay and have much confidence in him. 'We live in two western style houses built by the French for for- eign postal ministers when in Kai- feng. I live in a tent at FanChia where the relief plowing and tractor school is. The rainy season started three days ago and four inches of rain made it impossible for me to return in the jeep to FanChia. The break in the Hwang Ho river dyke will not be repaired this summer as planned.

'Villages were nearly or complete- ly buried. We dug out an old Temple to get poles for making a spike tooth harrow which Kay and I needed and found many fine old gods and bells and artifacts.'

KANSAS POETRY Robert Conover, Editor Falling Leaves The leaves are falling one by one, Silently dropping, their work all done. Slowly they loosen their firm close hold.

Tattered and withered, faded and old They fall at each gust of the sighing breeze Revealing the slim brown naked trees. Some leaves are yellow and some are brown And others have donned a scarlet gown. So whirling and eddying past they go To their endless sleep on the earth below. — Nellie Reed Ludington, I Am the Weaver. Sunflowers By H.

Davis Perhaps there never was a time in the history of America when so many Americans knew so little about so many things. For instance: Who is to blame for the scarcity of meat if there is a scarcity of meat, and in whose lockers or pastures is the vast supply of scarce meat? Does Russia want war and why did Stalin say she doesn't unless it was because she does? And incidental- ly, are Mr. Byrnes and Mr. Molotov on speaking terms and why not? And is China happy or unhappy about our Marines being over there, and are there enough of them to do anything about what Russia says they are there for and Washington, D.

Says they are not there for? >Are we (our diplomats at least) fighting for the salvation or aggrava- tion of the British Empire as such and is that what Russia is so huffy about? How many months of re- search would be required to answer this question and how long would the answer be correct if it happened to be right in the first place? Can anybody name one commit- ment made by Roosevelt to Stalin, Roosevelt to Churchill, Stalin to Roosevelt, Stalin to Churchill, Churchill to anybody? What if any- body can?

Out of what does a dip- lomat or a head of state make a com- mitment? And when did any nation ever pay any attention to a commit- ment more than three years old? Who is to blame for the present state of the Nation — President Tru- man, Citizen Wallace, Diplomat Byrnes, Leo Durocher, the Republi- cans, the Democrats, the Communists, the OPA, the PAC of the CIO, GI Joe, or John Citizen? Who will win the World's Series and what of it? Is it more important than higher and lower education com- bined?

Just where do crooners and comedians fit into this picture? Undoubtedly there never was a time in the history of America when so many folks knew so little about so many things. ♦ About Faculty Clubs A university has been described as the only place in the world where a man can make a living from a knowl- edge of Sanskrit. Perhaps the faculty club of a university may be said to be the only place where one could find a psychologist, a pediatrician and a biophysicist eating together and discussing the Insistent problem of whether tomatoes should be staked or left unstaked in order to get the most and the best. There are, of course, other prob- lems discussed in a faculty club, much to the disadvantage of the table- cloth....

In a faculty club an astronomer can have views on a sales tax, an architect can give an excellent recipe for leek and potato soup, a geogra- pher is enthusiastic on the qualities of a Dachshund as a household pet, and a medievalist expounds on the remarkable virtuosity of the Dodg- ers. The faculty club has an important place in a university. Columbia, be- fore it possessed one, had academic incoherence.

Its professors kept their several counsel behind their beards, and they became emeriti before they learned very much of the purposes of the institution to which they be- longed. — Columbia Alumni News.

Copeland of Kan- sas City, Mo., and three enlisted men have arrived at the College to super- vise the new Air ROTC program on the campus. The enlisted men, who will do ad- ministrative and instructional work, are Master Sgt. McAdams, First Sgt. Holland and Staff Sgt. Kansas State is one of 76 colleges and universities throughout the U. To take part in an Army Air Force ROTC program designed to provide AAF with a steady flow of college- trained officers. The four-year pro- gram for Air ROTC students will con- sist of a two-year elementary course and a two-year advanced course lead- ing to a commission as second lieu- tenant in the air reserve.

All are under the command of Col. Hutchinson, professor of military science and tactics.

Literally thousands of students have benefited by his under- standing guidance and the College has become a stronger institution because of the moral leadership he provided.'

The duo-pianists, Arthur Whitte- more and Jack Lowe, are scheduled for December 4.

During their 3 1-2 years in the Navy they played in all parts of the world. With Boot, the Marine weekly of Parris Island, re- porting that their 'splash of Barnum and Bailey showmanship' made them 'a tremendous hit,' the Artist Series committee picked them as certain also to please the veterans oi>the campus as well as the music lover.

Paul Draper, who has developed a unique combination of tap dancing and ballet, and Larry Adler, dubbed 'the harmonica virtuoso,' are sched- uled for February 19. Last program of the year will be March 27, when the St. Louis Sin- fonietta and William Primrose will be heard. Primrose was selected by Arturo Toscanini as his viola so- loist when he first organized his NBC orchestra. When the season ticket sale closed October 1 few seats remained to be sold for single admissions, most of them in the top price bracket.

Three lettermen from past Wildcat teams who are ready to report are Verle McClellan and Warren Boring, who will compete in the 155-pound class, and Dale Carter in the 16 5- pound class. McClellan was Big Six champion in the 136-pound class in 1940.

He was twice shot down over Germany during the war. While serving in the Army over- seas, Patterson coached a team which won the ETO championship. One of his Army wrestlers, Erwin Yarnell, 128-pound champion of the ETO, will compete for a position on the Kansas State team. COMMISSARY STOCK SALES EXCEED NECESSARY 910,000 Veteran* expect store to open early in October Sales of stock in the veterans' com- missary at Kansas State College have exceeded the $10,000 necessary for opening the store, according to Lloyd Nothern of Manhattan, chairman of the board of directors. If construction of the building is not delayed by further bad weather, the commissary will open soon, Nothern said. Veterans formed the cooperative commissary to keep down living costs.

Stehley brothers stur for K-Stnte In niKlit contest The Kansas State 'B' squad, per- forming before the home crowd while the varsity was in Abilene, Texas, Sat- urday night, defeated the Wichita 'B' team 12 to at Griffith Field.

Jim and Don Stehley, brothers from Phil- lipsburg scored the Wildcat touch- downs. Jim Stehley went 48 yards for the first counter in the initial quarter af- ter his 52-yard touchdown return of a Wichita punt was nullified by a Wildcat penalty. Don Stehley plunged over from the three yard stripe in the second period after Freshman Ervin Russart, Wamego, had engi- neered a 3 5-yard drive to near pay dirt. Friday night of this week, the Kan- sas University 'B' squad will come to Manhattan for the first of a two- game 'B' team series with the junior Wildcats.

The second contest will be played in Lawrence November 22. Other 'B' team games are sched- uled with Nebraska (two games), a return game with Wichita, Missouri and Emporia Teachers 'B'.

Ways and means of finding a for- ward pass defense, and developing a throwing attack of their own, are major problems facing the Kansas State football squad this week as the Wildcats prepare for the Big Six conference opener with Nebraska at Lincoln Saturday afternoon. Weakness in the aerial game — both offensively and defensively — stood out like a 'No Vacancy' sign at Abi- lene, Texas, last weekend, as the Wildcats dropped their first 1946 con- test to the Hardin-Simmons squad 21- 7. The Texas Cowboys took to the skies for all of their touchdowns and let at least three other passes slip through the hands of receivers stand- ing in the end zone. On the offensive side of forward passing, Kansas State throwers tried 24 times, completed 9 and had 5 in- tercepted. Four of the completions were by Al Bandy, Cottonwood Falls quarterback, who connected with Gabe Bartley, Horton, right halfback, with an eight-yard touchdown pass late in the game.

Kansas State was back on the Hardin-Simmons three- yard line when the game ended. Though the passing game of the Wildcats appeared gloomy, other de- partments of play gave Coach Hobbs Adams and his assistants encourage- ment. Karl Kramer, Olathe fullback, and Harold Bryan, Neodesha, fresh- man right halfback, turned in punt- ing performances which were superb.

Kramer booted the ball QUt-of-bounds on four occasions hitting the 12, 18, 15 and 3 yard stripes. Once, standing in his own end zone, he picked a bad pass from center off the ground, and lifted the ball 45 yards up the held. Bryan kicked 52 yards from his own end zone into the wind.

The first quarter was scoreless with both clubs threatening once. Hardin- Simmons reached the Kansas State 25-yard line on a 37-yard run the second play of the game, only to meet a stubborn Wildcat line.

The Man- hattan team's chance came when Bob Rogers, end from Newhall, Calif., re- covered a Cowboy fumble on the Tex- ans' 17. The Hardin-Simmons line held for downs. In the second quarter, Al Johnson heaved a 43-yard touchdown pass to J. (Bullet) Cook, of the Cowboys. The Hardin-Simmons team made it 14 to in the third quarter on a 20-yard pass play.

The final Cowboys score came in the fourth period when Morris Southall pitched an eight- yard forward to Cook. Adams said he may switch his backfield around in an effort to find defensive strength. He attributed his team's inert pass defense to 'inex- perience, something which can be eliminated only by playing.' One change Adams may make is the mov- ing of Bill Edwards, Gadsen, Ala., from left halfback to quarterback.

Gene Snyder, Junction City, a center who lettered as a blocking back at K-State before the war, may win a starting berth at the pivot position, thanks to his stellar play at Abilene, Texas. Larry Reid, Topeka, and Bob Rogers, looked impressive to Adams at the end positions.

Big Edgar Mc- Neil, Effingham tackle, recovered two enemy fumbles and won the praise of southern sports writers for his line play. Thirty-six men probably will make the trip to Lincoln for Saturday's game with Nebraska. The team will leave Friday night.

■ — Thomas Carlyle. * f r >K HISTORICAL SOCIETY C TOPEXA KAN. 4 The Kansas Industrialist Volume 73 Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science, Manhattan, Thursday, October 10, 1946 Number 2 A Ur r^ PRESIDENT'S LETTER RECORD FALL ENROLLMENT SHOWS NEED FOR MORE COLLEGE FACILITIES K-Hta.tr>, equipped for 3,000, strains to accommodate nearly 0,500 Editor's Note — This fall, President Ei- senhower resumes his series of letters to the alumni. This is the first for the cur- rent academic year.

Others will follow. Dear Alumni: Anyone who has not visited the campus within the past year would hardly believe that twelve monthi could bring such a number of changes. Swarming with more students than ever before in history, the campus has many of the appearances of a boom town. Rows of barracks for about 400 student veterans stand on what was once a broad sweep of lawn just east of the College cafeteria.

Temporary apartments for more than 300 married veterans are going un on former intramural playing fields on the west campus. Men are living in the stadium, in a hospital annex, in places we would never have con- sidered as housing a year ago. Our enrollment this fall is more than 6,500 students — three times what it was a year ago and more than 2,300 above the pre-war all-time high. About two-thirds of our student:) are veterans. Our student population this fall is equivalent to more than 50 percent of the normal population of Manhattan.

The College has permanent facili- ties for only about 3,500 students. We were crowded even in 1940 when we had a registration of approximate- ly 4,100.

Our enrollment this fall is about 55 percent greater than it was in 1940, but our permanent facilities have remained essentially the same. Consequently, the College is facing a number of problems. There are short- ages of suitable permanent housing, of classroom space, of faculty mem- bers, of eating places — of everything, in fact, but students. Housing is a major problem. Frank- ly, we are wondering just where some of' our students are living. During the summer, when we were making plans for fall, we thought that by housing 1,500 unmarried veterans in a unit at, Fort Riley we would be able to accommodate up to 6,000 students this fall.

Well, there are fewer than 200 students living at Fort Riley— and still we have between 500 and 1 000 more students than we thought we would be able to handle. The only conclusion is that Manhattan towns- people have done an amazing job of housing students in private homes. Scores of homes— homes of people who didn't intend to take in roomers — have been opened to students in this emergency. I know personally, for example, of one family which is keeping six and another keeping seven students; previously neither home was open to students. Fraternities and sororities, too, are housing more students than ever.

In its project at Fort Riley, the College still has housing for single veterans. Nevertheless, we estimate that perhaps 2,000 Kansas students were discouraged from coming to Kansas State this fall because of then- failure to And rooms during the sum- mer or because they were dissatis- fied with the temporary housing fa- cilities available.

We have refused requests for entrance from thousands of out-of-state students since May when we began limiting adm.ss.on to Kansans. Despite our record enrollment, the fact that young people wanting an education have been kept from enter- ing the College points the need for additional permanent housing. The College, for the time being, has met the emergency. The government has snent a million dollars to provide e'niporary housing for veterans am the College has spent a quartei of a Million dollars for the same purpose. But we cannot expect temporary ex- pedients-trailers, barracks of tai- laner and planks-to fill for any length of time a need that is perma- nent Nor can we expeel the people of Manhattan to inconvenience them- Lamp! Heads Young, Democrats Sherman Lampl of Wichita, a jun- ior in electrical engineering, has been named temporary acting chairman of the Young Democrats club being formed on the campus. Mendall Rex- roth, state chairman of campus activ- ities for the Young Democrats, has helped organize the K-State group.

Assembly Speaker CONTRIBUTIONS TO CHAPEL FUND CAN BE FOR INDIVIDUAL MEMORIALS Individual memorials can be estab- lished in the proposed World War II Memorial Chapel and chime tower to be constructed at Kansas State. The main chapel of the proposed building, which will be of native limestone, will be approximately 46 by 114 feet in size. Nave pews with cushions in the main chapel will cost $7,000, approxi- mately $200 per pew to seat eight persons each.

Choir stalls and fronts will cost $750, approximately $175 per choir stall and front. The pulpit and associated front will cost $850 and the lectern and associated front will cost $650. Other costs include railing and cushions. $300; baptismal font and cover, $500; lighting fixtures, $1,200; altar cover and antependia for lectern and pulpit, four sets or colors, $350; rose window above altar, $1,500; other windows in nave, $5,000. The small chapel will be about 26 by 4 2 feet in size. Pews in this chapel will cost $1,400, approximately $200 per pew to seat eight persons each. The dossal, table covers and ante- pendia will cost $500; lighting fix- tures, $600; chancel window, $700; and windows in the nave, $2,500.

It is estimated best traditional Gothic glass for the windows will cost be- tween $30 and $75 per square foot. Alumni wishing to establish in- dividual memorials can earmark their contributions for any of these items. ♦ — THREE VETERANS ATTRACTED BY HOME ECONOMICS SCHOOL Dr.

Cardwell, head of the De- partment of Physics, will speak, on 'Atomic Energy and Its Political Im- plications' at an all-College assembly tomorrow. Cardwell spoke in as- sembly on the same subject last June and is speaking again after a number of requests from faculty and student3 who were unable to attend at that time. Cardwell was a one of the sci- entists who worked on the atomic bomb at the Oak Ridge, Tenn., plant.

He has also been scheduled to speak on 'Atomic Energy' to the Ag-Indus- trial Week delegates on November 7. Service cooks continue enreers In Inotl tutlonnl management Three men are competing with the: 68 5 women in the School of Home Economics this fall. They are Elvin E. Julian, Kinsley; Lloyd E. Cope, Valley Falls; and James E.

Shriver, Salina. All three are enrolled in the curriculum in institutional manage- ment. All of the men had cooking experi- ence in the service, Julian with the Coast Guard, Shriver with the Navy and Cope with the Army. Work in the institutional management curriculum provides training for management of hotels, restaurants, hospitals and other institutions. Selves over a long period of time to help house our students.

We must have permanent housing to accom- modate our permanently increased enrollments. And make no mistake our enrollments WILL be perma- nently increased. The national trend has been toward larger and larger college enrollments. By 1960, when the last of the veter- ans are completing their training under the G. Bill, we expect three and one-half million students in the nation's colleges, an increase of 100 percent in the past 20 years. By I960, remember, the children of veterans now in school will be starting college. We expect the enrollment of Kan- sas State College to stabilize at ap- proximately 6,000 students.

Our per- manent facilities for only 3,500 stu- dents can scarcely be strained to ac- commodate our present fall semes- ter enrollment of 6,500 even in an emergency. Certainly they cannot be strained to handle 6,000 or 6,500 students for any length of time. If Kansas State College is to be built up to the size of its enrollments, we must start work now. Sincerely, HOUSING COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS MORE DORMITORIES FOR K STATE 'One of the most important needs facing the educational institutions in Kansas in the coming years is addi- tional dormitory facilities,' according to a report issued by the dormitory housing committee of the state Board of Regents and received recently by Kenney L. Ford, secretary of the Alumni Association. The committee recommended that the Board of Regents make a request of the legislature for a direct appro- priation from the general fund for the construction and equipping of two dormitories at Kansas State.

The report stated: 'Based on an estimated enrollment of 5,000 students in the fall of 1946 at Kansas State College, dormitory facilities are available for 400 stu- dents or eight percent of the total enrollment. This housing includes Van Zile Hall, the new apartment building recently acquired by the en- dowment association for women and housing facilities in the stadium. The state appropriated $200,000 at Man- hattan in 1926 for the construction and equipping of Van Zile Hall. Pres- ident Eisenhower recommends that for a permanent housing program, we should plan to house 1,500 men and 500 women.' Has 33 Foreign Students Thirty-three students at the Col- lege this fall are from 15 countries outside the continental United States.

Eight students are from Puerto Rico and four are from China. Panama and Palestine each have three represen- tatives while Mexico, Peru, Egypt and Switzerland each have two. Syria, Ar- gentina, Hawaii, Nicaragua, Philip- pines, Columbia and Sierra Leone, Africa each have one student en- rolled. Most of the men students are enrolled in agriculture and the women are studying home economics.

♦ 1946 ENROLLMENT EXCEEDS 6.500 AS K-STATE ENTERS BIGGEST YEAR Late registrations in Kansas State brought the enrollment figure to 6,504 this week to give the College the high- est attendance figure in its history, according to the Registrar's office.: Veteran enrollment is approximately 4,150. Schools of the College have not re- leased their official registration fig- ures. However, the following unoffi- cial estimates were available; School of Arts and Sciences, approximately 2,070; School of Engineering and Architecture, approximately 2,400; School of Agriculture, 913; School of Home Economics; 685; School of Vet- erinary Medicine, 198; and Graduate School, 241. Helen Moore, dean of women, re- ports that 1,435 women students are enrolled this fall, a 15 percent in- crease over last year's all-time high. However, the number of freshman women this term is 15 percent less than a year ago.

Eight sororities this fall are hous- ing 323 women, about 27 percent more than nine sororities housed when enrollment was at its previous peak in 1940. VETERANS MAY HAVE TO MOVE FROM CAMP FUNSTON QUARTERS FIVE-DAY PROGRAM INCLUDED IX J 946 HOMECOMING PLANS First post-wnr event will welcome vet- ernns to campus Tentative plans for the Victory Homecoming November 16 include five days of pep rallies, jam sessions and stunts by student organizations, Kenney L. Ford, alumni secretary and chairman of the homecoming committee, said today.

Activities will start with a pep rally November 12 and end with the an- nual Homecoming Ball on November 16. Independent, sorority and frater- nity houses will be decorated. An all-College dance is being planned for the night before the game between Kansas State and Kansas University. A parade will precede the game. The first full-scale Homecoming since before the war, the event is de- signed to welcome ex-servicemen back to the campus. Pre-war Homecoming activities lasted only two days.

Campos temporary housing facilities will have 630 veterans Student veterans at Kansas State, inhabitants of a College housing proj- ect at Camp Funston, are scurrying around the campus this week, trying to recruit 80 more men to live in their quarters. The project originally was set up for 1500 men, but when the number of men living in the quarters had dwindled to fewer than 100 plans were made by the College to move the veterans to campus housing units, Hal McCord, housing coordinator, said. The men living at the site did not want to move because they pre- ferred their quarters to accommoda- tions in crowded Manhattan. They were given a reprieve until Friday to recruit the extra men needed to keep the facility open. DEVELOPED LAST SUMMER The project was developed last summer when it became apparent to College officials that local housing would be insufficient to handle the increased enrollment of the College.

It included former Bachelor Officers' Quarters for rooms and a mess hall on the site. The Fort Riley facility is only one of several emergency measures de- veloped by College housing authori- ties. Other housing provided on the campus is expected to provide quar- ters for approximately 630 single vet- erans and 436 married veterans. Some of the quarters on the cam- pus are not complete, according to Don Munzer, director of on campus housing, but some men are living in the completed sections. 26 IN HOSPITAL ANNEX Rooms for 26 men have been com- pleted in the hospital annex and the facility is full. The dormitories in the east side of Memorial Stadium, with room for 68 students, are also complete and in use. Dormitories in the west side of the stadium, which will house 150 men when completed, are now crowded with 130 men and construction is about a third done.

Temporary dormitories, made by converting barracks from the Coffey- ville Army Air Base, are being con- structed on the east lawn of the cam- pus. This project, which will house 384 men, is about half-completed Munzer said, and 24 6 students are now using it. 1(10 LIVE IN TRAILERS Campus Courts, College-operated trailer camp for married veterans, has housed its complement of 100 student families since its completion last spring. In addition 336 temporary apart- ment units are under construction. There is no indication as to when 1928 graduate gives College two Quarterhorses for use as cattle horses and foundation stock rfijtZZ&^ President Presentation of two yearling Quar- terhorse fillies to the College by E. Stephenson of Bucklin has been announced by Dr.

Weber, head of the animal husbandry department. Stephenson was graduated from the College in animal husbandry in 1928. Especially valuable on ranch- es because of their 'cattle sense,' the two horses will be used as foundation animals for a select stud of Quarter- horses as well as to work cattle on the College farms as soon as they are old enough for training. They also will be used for in- struction in judging courses at the College.

These fillies are representative of some of the best bloodlines of the Quarterhorse breed and will be in- spected on the basis of type for reg- istration, Dr. Weber stated. Kaeh of these fillies is sired by Skipper, a son of Shiek, the noted Quarterhorse sire used for many years on the Matador Ranch. Shiek was sired by Peter McCue, holder of the world's record for one-quarter of a mile. Shiek's dam was a daughter of Old Fred, another famous sire of Quarterhorses.

The dam of one of the fillies is from a Waggoner Ranch mare, and the dam of the other was raised by Philmont Ranch. Quarterhorses represent one of the oldest types of horses in the United States, but have been registered only for the past six years, according to Dr. They are used as roping and cutting horses, as rodeo horses and for racing at short distances, usu- ally up to one-quarter of a mile. Quar- terhorses proved to be especially val-, liable on ranches because of their l 'cattle sense' in working stock. For I this reason the breed is widely adapt- ed where stock is handled under range I conditions. Because of the importance of cat- tle raising in Kansas, cattlemen and horse breeders are also paying con- siderable attention to the improve- i ment of their stock horses so that Kansas is also one of the leaders in raising horses of this character, Dr. They will be completed.

Permanent College operated hous- ing facilities for women have nearly doubled in the past year. The Walt- heim apartment building, at 1430 Laramie, purchased by the Kansas State Endowment Association and ieased to the College, has been con- verted into a dormitory for 78 wo- men. Van Zile Hall, women's resi- dence hall, has increased its accom- modations from 130 to 169 women. In addition to these College-spon- sored housing measures, sororities and fraternities have increased the number of pledges this year. Other boarding and rooming houses in town are also taking more people than in other years.

Many Manhattan towns- people who have never taken room- ers have opened their homes to one or several students. ♦ Veterans Elect Officers Ex-servicemen at Kansas Stale have elected E. Stackfleth of An- thony as commander of their Veter- ans' Association.

Other new officers are Reed Larson, Abilene, vice-com- mander; Charles Shannon. Wichita, adjutant; and Ted Jones, Dallas, Tex- as, sergeant-at-arms.

Her topic was, 'Handling Those Darned Reporters.' POLITICAL OSTRICHES The recent banning of a Commu- nist-tinted textbook in economics used by the Military and Naval Academies has caused a minor flurry in several states whose institutions were sup- posed to be using it. It seems that a certain sentence, paragraph or chap- ter carried a definite 'soak the rich' flavor. University officials have hast- ened to assure newspaper men that they are not using the offending book.

Some declare that it is not even in the library. Whether or not the book is inimical to our form of government, has no place in this discussion. The question is, if we have an enemy, how are we going to learn to recognize him and guard against him if we do not. Study him and his literature. A boxer, a football coach, or a gen- eral makes a great many of his plans after appraisal of the methods and habits of his opponent. Upon the ex- tent and accuracy of his information depends his success.

But in the realm of political thought and action we drive opponents underground and make them inaccessible to us. Believing the Communist party hostile to the American way of life, Kansas has outlawed it, and now per- mits no Communist candidates to run for public office as such. Recently, a newspaper editorial praised this legislative action, though admitting that undoubtedly some Communists were running on other tickets. But, the writer crowed in effect, we have driven them under- ground, made it unlawful (in these free United States) to express our political convictions by running for office under their banner. To me, it seems that we have be- come merely political ostriches.

That we have laid ourselves wide open for a severe political spanking from quar- ters unknown. That we must now work against a system that has as- sumed a vague shape, which has no focal point to attack because we, our- selves, have obscured it. Thought is not a tangible, apparent action, like a murder or thievery. Thought-directing laws are not work- able. A certain amount of liberal, uninhibited thought is necessary for progress.

The radicals of one period of history, in power, and without the stimulation of contest, become out of date in a short time. This is not a brief for the Commu- nists or for any other political belief. It is merely a statement of a belief that labeled goods, whether they be political or mercantile in character, are easier to choose from, Jack James in Hie Kansas State Collegian ♦• In Older Days From the Files of The Industrialist TEN YEARS AGO A successful membership drive was completed by the YWCA netting 530 new members with hopes that the to- tal membership would be 700. 'Homeless, hungry Jack,' a little wire-haired terrier, was found sitting forlornly in front of the Veterinary Hospital. After food, drink and bath administered by kind-hearted vets, Jack found a home with Tom Mc- Clung, local business man. Revival of the Homecoming decora- tions contest was announced and a limit of $5 placed on the cost of dec- orations for each fraternity was an- nounced. $25 was offered for prizes in the contest.

New machinery was installed and repairs made in the engineering shops. A traveling crane was set up in the foundry. Daily weather reports were begun to be sent out by wireless by the Ag- ricultural college. Rocket Download Manager. With the excep- tion of forecasts put out at night for Naval stations from Washington, D. C, this was the first time anything of this kind was tried.

FIFTY YEARS AGO. The teaching staff totalled 24. There were 10 assistants and fore- men and six assistants in the experi- ment station. The College Cadet Band and Col- lege Orchestra were 'fully organized and in good working order, and prom- ised excellent music with further practice.'

FORTY YEARS AGO Suggested titles for programs at the Farmers' Institute of Kansas State Agricultural College were, 'How to Keep the Boy on the Farm,' 'How to Keep the Girl on the Farm,' and 'How to Keep the Old Man on the Farm.' The professors who dwelt along the west side of the City Park wanted it understood that their settlement was called Park — not Faculty Row.

They insisted that there was no 'row' about their neighborhood. The Manhattan carnival held on the main street enjoyed fair weather and large crowds. Funds were raised to purchase the court-house clock. Six different periodicals were being published by the Agricultural Col- lege. They were the weekly 'Indtjb- TitiAi.isT,' the weekly 'Students' Her- ald,' the monthly 'Jayhawker,' the SIXTY YEARS AGO 'If you want your boys to stay on the farm, let them lead something besides a dog's life,' read a clipping from the exchange files. It was decided in a debate at a i literary society that 'Riches Are An Impediment to Virtue.' A notice read, 'The smooth grav- eled drives and pleasant surround- ings make the College grounds all too attractive for Sunday driving.

This is the suburban park for all Manhat- i tan, it seems.' The Students' payroll for Septem- j ber contained 91 names of students who earned from ten cents to forty dollars.

He speaks and writes with a su- perb affectation of knowing what he is talking about. He loads his voice with foreboding and pessimism.

He plays cleverly upon ignorance and fear. He knows that his audience — like him — knows nothing about what he is talking about. With subtlety and caution the 1946 Model A Terrorist intimates that be- fore many months have elapsed we shall be plunged into World War Three, with Russia and her satellites and the whole Communistic brother- hood as the powerful foe of our pro- verbially unready democracies. The new Terrorist finds innumer- able evidences to support his view- ings with alarm. The latest is a dis- closure that Japan had an atomic bomb also — just about ready to go when Hiroshima underwent extermi- nation.

And the discloser whispers that Russia holds the Japanese sci- entists — inventors of that bomb — as prisoners and knows how to wring the know-how out of them. No won- der Joe Stalin is saying that the de- mocracies will not long be in sole possession of the atomic weapon, hints he. Other disclosers of dire things talk of Trieste, Greece, the powerful U. Fleet in the Mediterranean, that knotty problem at the Dardanelles, and phrases used by Molotov, Byrnes, Anthony Eden, and sundry generals roaming about over the face of the earth. They profess to have little hope that atomic energy can be brought under any sort of control. They whisper of cartels and interna- tional deals among manufacturers of munitions.

They prattle that human nature is as unchangeable as the course of the sun and that war is the favorite adventure of the human ani- mal. Meanwhile, we the victims find lit- tle or no solace in that so-called free- dom from fear World War Two was supposed to bestow upon us. We have to believe what we see in print and hear over the air until we learn to remember what we saw in print and heard over the air day-before-yester- day.

And that looks to be a long time. Of course, if some of us want to, we can start today at the job of be- ginning to acquire a measure of free- dom from spot news and professional viewing-with-alarm, an extra fine freedom World War Two did not even promise to bring us. We can start remembering what columnists and commentators were scaring us with last week or even yesterday.

The first NY A checks were distrib- uted to 4 45 students and 13 graduate workers.

Albert Dickens who had been con- ducting a $2500 experiment on the project. He thought oil roads would soon be in the majority in Kansas since they cost about one-third as much as macadam roads. Celery was doing nicely in the Col- lege gardens. It was being sold by the College at the greenhouse.

No, I know you do not have it yet, but I followed your advice and took my check ($100) to the chairman (Charles Ramey) the next morning. I suppose he is holding it until they get a re- port of the whole country. 'I should have sent it immediately when I read about the plan. It is one of the things I am especially inter- ested in — and to think that Maine Boyd was a laggard when anything of such importance is contemplated for the College. You already know that Kansas State is part of my fam- ily.'

♦ BOOKS How to he Serene 'Peace of Mind.' Simon and Schuster. A generation ago Charles W. Eliot spoke of serenity of mind as one of the most desirable of all possessions. If the value of serenity impressed Dr. Eliot in the comparatively placid pe- riod in which he spoke, it must be ex- tremely impressive in the present pe- riod to sensitive persons who look upon the world and find a large sec- tion of its inhabitants suffering from the reverse of serenity. Such a per- son is Rabbi Liebman, who in 'Peace of Mind' presents diagnoses and pre- scriptions which should be helpful to many persons who find the world of 1946 hard to take.

The author's thesis is a combina- tion of psychiatry and religion, with major emphasis on psychiatry. Liebman has been deeply influenced by Freudian psychology — in its broad sense and not in the narrow sex-psy- chology sense in which it is often considered and discussed. He finds this psychology, in its psychiatric ap- plications, an effective partner of religion in helping people to face real- ities and to find serenity. 'The book attempts,' he says, 'to distill the helpful insights about human nature that psychology has discovered and the encouraging news from the scien- tific clinic. As well as to correlate these latest scientific discoveries with the truest religious insights and goals of the ages.' Religion, according to Dr.

Liebman, has been a major contributor to the development of much of the mental and spiritual unhappiness which now afflicts many persons. It 'has been responsible for many morbid con- sciences, infinite confusions, and painful distortions in the psychic life of people... Religion, which already has made its peace with Copernicus and with Darwin, will have to make peace with Freud.' He contends that while religion theoretically is sup- posed 'to make men inwardly peace- ful.

In practice, there is too much undissolved wrath and punishment in most religions. Conscience, abetted by this kind of punitive religion, doth indeed make cowards of us all.'

Yet he contends cogently that religion is indispensable to peace of mind, at least for large numbers of persons. Written in an engaging style, in language of marked beauty and clar- ity and with admirable tolerance, th e book closes with a one-page sum- mary of what one must do to be se- rene This summary might well be TWENTY YEARS AGO 'When better boys are built, 4-H clubs will build them,' says a filler item.

The Aggies gained 276 yards from scrimmage while the Jay- hawks made only 71. According to the report of the game written by H.

FIFTY YEARS AGO The Students' Free Silver Club held its first meeting. Entertainment of the evening consisted of speeches and music by the Glee Club. The eleventh annual state conven- tion of the YWCA was attended by 70 delegates. Sessions were held at the Methodist church downtown and one afternoon was spent visiting the campus.

A pair of buffalo horns had been presented to the College museum by A. McFeely of Gypsum City. They were expected to 'serve a useful as well as ornamental purpose.'

The total enrollment of the College was 580. Of this total 250 were here for the first time. THIRTY YEARS AGO Two hundred convicts at the Lan- sing penitentiary were taking corre- spondence courses from the Home Study Department at the College. The Purple Masque Club, made up of students who had been in College plays, offered a $50 prize for the best original drama written by a student. A reserve officers' training corps, I to be established at the College, was announced by L.

Matthews, com- mandant. The organization of col- ] lege cadets consisted of one infantry; regiment, complete, one engineer j company, and one signal company I with wireless.

Students were on the campus from 56 Kansas counties. SEVENTY YEARS AGO Immigrants from Minnesota were reported to be rolling through To- peka.

Also 'all the well-to-do and sensible citizens of Iowa were emi- grating to Kansas.' Persons desiring the latest infor- mation regarding the Agricultural College were urged to send for a copy of the twelve-page circular just is- sued. The College offered three courses, the Farmer's course, the Mechanic's course and the Woman's course. There were 167 students enrolled in these three courses. Ene Clark, Etta Warner, '40; Donald H.

His address is That, boy, is a consideration not to be given the go-by. To die, to sleep, to sleep for keeps, perchance to dream for keeps; aye, there's the rub. For in that snooze eterne what dreams may come — of roast beef, pork and apples, filet mignon, steaks two by six by ten, hamburger, spare ribs, tenderloin — when we have rum- bled to the mortuary and ducked in- flation for good and all. There's the joker that makes a catastrophe of so extended an emer- gency.

For who would bear the agony of contemplating all the explanations oS'ered, the accusations hurled, the alibis, the De-control Board's delay, the insolence of newly-appointed of- fice-holders, the moaning of rebels recently resigned, when he himself might avoid manic-depression by de- veloping grinning grandeur delusions, or dementia paralytica? Who would sophistries unsnarl, or grunt and sweat under atrocious double-talk, but that the dread of something after complete collapse under vegetarianism, garnished only with the twiddle-twaddle of polit- icos, stares him in the face and makes him rather devour the meat of horse than turn to prunes and rutabaga? Thus hunches make Milktoasts of us all, and the do-or-die for dear old Siwash is paled with sickly teen-age fear, while we do naught but twist the dial and ooze into another treatise on where the meat is and who hid it there, dog gone him! Boy, oh boy, if Hamlet was crazy, how will the centuries rate us? ♦ YWCA Secretary Visits Campus Miss Ruth Haines, former execu- tive secretary of the YWCA at Kan- sas State College and now a member of the national YWCA staff, visited the campus last week.

Last weekend, the varsity showed improvement over previous engage- ments, particularly in the second half against Missouri, despite a loss of 26-0; The Tigers, favored to battle it out with Oklahoma for Big Six title, had it easy the first half but Coach Hobbs Adams team came back the final two quarters to stop the Tiger attack. The Kansas State club gave its finest performance of the contest while the first Missouri team was in the game.

As previous Missouri teams coached by Don Faurot have done, the Tigers jumped to an early lead on their explosive T and had the ' Wildcats fighting with backs to wall. Two Tiger touchdowns were scored in first quarter, one in the second, and one in the fourth. Adams was impressed with the play of two third stringers moved up to starting positions in the Missouri fray. They were Guard Dave Sher- mer and Center Bob Palmer. Bach will be assigned starting positions against Oklahoma this Saturday. Four backfield men were injured in last week's game but probably will play against Oklahoma. They were Vic Jones, sprained ankle; Gabe Bartley, bruised arm; Oscar Brick- son, injured knee; Gene Snyder, in- jured hand.

Lud Fiser's junior varsity from K- State scored first in the initial quar- ter when Delbert Ehret, Atchison, went over from the four. Chick Story, a former varsity man at Nebraska, put the Huskers back in the game with an 82-yard touchdown run.

Story was instrumental in each of the other three Nebraska touchdowns, two of which came in the second quar- ter and one in the fourth quarter. Jim Stanley, Philiipsburg, half- back, scored __ the second Wildcat touchdown in the fourth period when he went over from the four, repeat- ing Ehret's performance.

Ehret kicked extra point each time. Fiser was well pleased with the play of his junior varsity which was outweighed and facing more experi- enced players. Eight scoring oppor- tunities were missed by the 'B' team Wildcats. Fiser said poor Kansas State tackling and efficient Nebraska down-field blocking were deciding factor in the game. ♦ CANDIDATES WILL DEBATE BEFORE STUDENT AUDIENCE GOVERNOR SCH0EPPEL WILL SPEAK AT INDUSTRIAL-AG WEEK OPENING Cnrlaon, Woodrtng will dtacuaa political issues October -I Frank Carlson, Republican candi- date for governor of Kansas, and Harry Woodring, Democratic candi- date, will debate in College Auditori- um October 21.

Wiggins also lettered in basketball at the College in 1929, 1930 and 1931. The men graduated in physical education in 1932. MADE LONG RUN Football fans still recall the Big Six game at Columbia, Mo., in 1929 when George Wiggins, playing full- back, intercepted a pass and raced 8 5 yards for a touchdown. Wiggins was commissioned a sec- ond lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps in 1932.

He reported for active duty as a first lieutenant at Fort Ord, Calif., in 1941 after being called to active service. He participated in the March of Death and died early in 1945 at Fukuaka, Japan. His widow, Mrs. Wig- gins, the children, Larry and Joan, and his parents, Mr. Wiggins, live at Independence.

♦ Certificate of Distinction Awarded Kansas State has been awarded a Certificate of Distinction for the ex- cellence of its Army Specialized Training program on the campus dur- ing the war. More than 1,000 stu- dents were trained at the College in engineering, veterinary medicine and prc-aicdic programs. The first ASTP men arrived at Kansas State in June, 1943, and the program was completed in the spring of 1944.

( J-, SPIRITED AUDIENCE HEARS DEBATE BETWEEN WOODRING AND CARLSON Candidates discuss state issues in only dual appearance Kansas' leading candidates for gov- ernor, Republican Frank Carlson and Democrat Harry Woodring, faced a spirited audience of students and townspeople in College Auditorium Monday night as they met for their only debate of the 1946 campaign. The audience, estimated at more than 2,500, filled the 2,200 seats in the Auditorium, stood in the halls and aisles and spilled over to the lawn outside, where speakers were set up so those outside could hear. CROWD IS NOISY The crowd was as noisy as a pep rally and emitted cheers and yells, boos and catcalls and hisses accord- ing to their emotions and beliefs.

Both candidates were forced at times to shout down the cries of the parti- san crowd. The liquor question, despite an at- tempt by Carlson to make a minor issue of it, received more discussion than any other subject in the debate.

Carlson's desire to prevent a split between the prohibition and wet ele- ments of the Republican party kept him from committing himself, to the evident satisfaction of the Democrats. Woodring's statement that, if elected, he would ask the next ses- sion of the legislature to repeal the Bone-Dry law, which makes posses- sion of liquor illegal, prompted one student to ask Carlson 'Will you ask for the repeal of prohibition and the repeal of the Bone-Dry law in Kan- sas?' Carlson reluctantly answered 'We are going to recommend a vote on this issue.

I have had a little legislative experience and it is my guess that you could not get 50 percent of the house and senate to repeal the Bone- Dry law.' HAS EASY MANNER Woodring spoke in a confidential manner, and handled the restless audience with the ease of a veteran campaigner. He was flustered only once, when he was questioned from the floor, 'Did you back Harry Tru- man for vice-president?' Woodring admitted that he had. He also said, in answer to a later question, that neighboring states which have authorized state-operated package liquor stores such as he pro- poses for Kansas, still have bootleg- gers because of the shortage of liquor.

This situation, he believes, will mend itself when the supply becomes ade- quate again. Both candidates committed them- selves to enforcement of existing liquor laws until those laws are changed. BOTH SPEAK TOO LONG Each of the candidates carried his constructive speech well beyond the 20-minute maximum that had been imposed. Carlson spoke for 25 min- utes Woodring for 27. Woodring rapped the Republicans for inefficiency in social.security ad- ministration and prom.sed $50 a month to every person over 60. He would, he said, 'fire every casework- er, snooper and investigator in the state ' junk the county system of ad- ministration and institute a central- ized system to operate from the Cap- itol in Topeka.

Carlson said this could not be done because of Federal rulings. Under national regulations, he said no pe son under 65 can receive aid, and federal regulations also 'palate the number of case workers to be used 'addition, he added, the national government makes payments on the basis of need, and therefore no flat rate of payment can be set up. Iowa, „ d e L.d.'

Ran afoul of these -guha>ons a few years ago, and was cut off from national social security funds. ROADS ARE BIG QUESTION Highways also received a great deal of attention from the candidates Woodring asked why Kansas roads are in their present bad condrt on and intimating inefficiency in the state highway administration, de- manded to know what had happened to the millions in gas taxes during the war. Car' ion answered that reserves built u during the war had enabled Kansas to match three million dol- lars in federal road building funds, and stated that he knows of no waste in the highway department.

The debate was the result of plans made by the student political interest committee which was formed last summer at a conference of the Stu- dent Planning Committee at Camp Wood, near Elmdale. Murlin Hodgell, a member of the committee, arranged for the appearance of the candidates and was moderator.

Woodring was introduced by Sher- man Lampl, chairman of the campus Young Democratic club. Carlson was introduced by Dick Dodderidge, rep- resenting the Young Republican club.

10 FOR UNESCO CONFERENCE ONE FOURTH OF STUDENTS SHOW DISSATISFACTION WITH HOUSING Approximately one fourth of the 6,511 students at the College are dis- satisfied with their housing, accord- ing to a Gallup-type poll conducted last week by the Collegian. Twenty-seven percent said they be- lieved college students should not be expected to live in the kind of quarters available to them. Seventy- three percent were satisfied with their living conditions. The poll was con- ducted as a means of emphasizing the need for permanent dormitories for men and women. Thirty-five percent of all men stu- dents believed their housing was in- adequate.

Veterans living in con- verted army barracks on the campus complained that rent is too high for their 'crowded, unattractive quar- ters.' Seventy-four percent of the mar- ried students were satisfied with their housing.

All of the students living in sororities and fraternities regarded their housing as satisfactory. ♦ INDUSTRIAIi-AG WEEK SPEAKER TO DISCUSS LABOR PROBLEMS of the National Conference of Chris tians and Jews.

Farrell BOOKS Master Storyteller 'Geoffrey Chaucer of England.' By Marchette Chute. $3.75 Although he was born six hundred years ago, Geoffrey Chaucer is still an intimate friend of many lovers of English literature. A busy man of affairs he yet found time to compose and write stories of such charm, clar- ity and vivid characterization that both he and the leading characters of his narratives live on after the lapse of six centuries. He was a master storyteller. The fourteenth century had much in common with the twentieth.

This week, we are working to lay more intellectual foundations for our studies by considering the classical theories of Aristotle (on the subject of tragedy) and the recent scholarship of Joseph Campbell (on the “monomyth” and the mythical hero). And at last, we have gotten to our first mythical narratives of the class, myths of creation and flood/apocalypse stories from the ancient past, as depicted in various cultures.

Thus, to fully understand the theories in question and the first stories on the syllabus, I want see how you can tie them together in a very specific way. You have two options for this exploration. In the first case, you may apply certain ideas from Aristotle’s theories of tragedy to a specific myth (assigned for Wednesday) of your choosing. I was primarily thinking that it would be interesting to see how the plot of your chosen tale fits certain “tragic” modes (such as leading toward a “catharsis”), or how the characters fit Aristotle’s ideals — especially of the “tragic hero.” Alternately, you can work with and through key ideas from Campbell’s influential output. If, for example, you would like to explore the notion of a “monomyth,” you might compare/contrast the similarities between several of the creation tales; on the other hand, it might be interesting to think about how a given story depicts the stages of the hero’s journey according to Campbell’s terms (i.e. Separation, initiation, return).

It’s all about applied critical thinking here, and it will be intriguing to see what kinds of intellectual connections you can make and the interpretive suggestions you might draw out by utilizing the ideas of Aristotle or Campbell. This entry was posted in, and tagged. Bookmark the. Although it seems like a controversy, I am going to compare Aristotle’s ideas of tragedy to Oedipus Rex.

One of the criteria to have a proper tragedy in Aristotle’s view is that the plots have to be long and serious. In Oedipus Rex, he has three plays dedicated to him and a lot of people die before it’s all over. Not only does a play have to be serious, but it has to be complex. Aristotle stated, “the plot may be either simple or complex, although complex is better”. This most nearly means that it makes a better tragedy if the plot is complex. For example, the whole playwright of Oedipus Rex was very complex and eventful.

Oedipus stabbed his eyes out, his wife and mother hung herself, and many other things happened. Lastly, events and actions have to flow into each other to form a smooth transition as opposed to random (compared to an episode). Although in Oedipus Rex there were many “random” events, they smoothly flowed into each other. I am going to discuss the stages of a hero’s journey through Campbell’s stages of separation, initiation, and return. As any story begins we first meet our hero who receives the attention of the entire audience. As our story advices something tragic happens to the hero that sets him out on a quest.

At this time our hero now reaches the separation stage where it just our hero, all by himself, out against the world. Our hero is by himself struggling with his quest to bring justice back into his life. In a brief matter of time our hero is now upon the stage of initiation.

The initiation stage describes a time where our beloved hero must go through some form of a difficult ordeal to complete his quest. In most cases it is battling a monster or rescuing the damsel in distress. After our hero beats this initiation their quest is now complete and they can return home. With their return home our hero is accepted beck into society and is honored for his effort on his quest. These are the three stages that Campbell talks abut which every hero must go through. After today’s class it became clear to me that Joseph Campbell’s theory of the monomyth has probably surrounded me my whole life, it just took me until now to realize it.

Separation, initiation, and return. The monomyth covers/directly relates to a broad spectrum of stories, yet it is such a simple theory. There are the obvious tales that we grew up with, such as Superman, Thor, Batman, Captain America, etc.

It is easy to associate these characters with Campbell’s theory because their names alone go hand in hand with the term “hero.” There are other examples, however, that are a tad more subtle when trying to make connections between the monomyth and a given story. Whether it is a book, a television series, or a movie, today’s media has produced hundreds of titles that follow the monomyth to the T. Take the Disney Pixar film “Finding Nemo” for example.

The character of the story does not necessarily have to be a “hero,” he/she simply must be likable and relatable to the audience. Perfect example being that when we hear the term “hero,” we don’t usually associate it with a cartoon fish. But nevertheless, the main character is indeed a fish who has set off on a mission to find his lost son.

He faces several challenges along the way that not necessarily change him as a character, but better the qualities he already contained in the beginning of the story. These challenges were, much like Aristotle discussed in his “Theory of Tragedy in the Poetics,” brought about accidentally by the character himself, causing his own collapse. In the end he finds his son and returns home, completing the final step to the monomyth. It seems silly to relate this extraordinary theory to a children’s book, however I hope that you can see how easily monomyth can be applied in today’s society. I as well connected the monomyth to super heroes. I like to compare the definition of a monomyth to Mr. Incredible in the Pixar film “The Incredibles.” Mr.

Incredible goes through the sequence separation, initiation, return. Incredible travels away, after supers had been banned, to restart work as a hero. He needs to protect his family, destroy a robot, and take down Syndrome all while trying to stay hidden.

In the end, he saves the entire city and supers are then welcomed back with open arms. He also possesses many qualities identified by Aristotle as a tragic hero in that Mr. Incredible was the cause of his own downfall and he is relatable to the audience. We as viewers feel bad for Mr. Incredible because he has to hide his true self from everyone. Once we realize one example, as Sarah said, other examples of monomyths can be recognized easily. So I’m going to apply Luke Skywalker’s journey to that of a hero’s according to Campbell.

Campbell believes that every hero’s tail has a clear beginning, middle,and end. He states that those three parts can be describes through out every tail in three stages; separation: when the character leaves their comfortable lives to depart on a journey, initiation: the hero’s struggle to complete what he set out to do, and return: the hero’s brave return home.

This can be easily applied to Luke’s story. The starting point of Luke’s journey is when his aunt and uncle are killed by the Emperor and he departs to Eisley with Ben, R2-D2, and C3PO to get a ship to rescue Leia (separation).

At Mos Eisley they recruit Han Solo and Chewbacca and they are off to the next stage of their journey. Luke’s transformation to hero status (initiation) happens over several events; the attack on the first Death Star, his training with Yoda, and his rescue of Han. Then we enter the third and final stage (return) Luke, however, does not return to Tatooine to be praised as a hero but returns to a calmer life after the Emperor has been killed and he reconciles with his father.

As we can see Star Wars, like most stories, follows Campbell’s three stages of a hero’s journey. I agree with what Brenna has to say about the Hero’s Journey. In my creative writing class last year we used a hero’s journey format. Although I’m not sure if it was based off of Campbell’s it followed the same stages. The main character had to go through something to realize that they have this superhuman ability or that they are going to be on this adventure.

Then it went on to highlight the other stages that showed how difficult the hero’s journey really was with what was laid out before him. When we started discussing the hero’s journey I was excited since I had prior knowledge of it and I can strongly agree that Star Wars is a perfect example of that. I would like to like to discuss how Campbell spoke on the similarities of the creation myths how they are all very closely follow the same patterns. Like when you take a look at Christ and Buddha how they follow the going away into the forest and being tempted by an evil entity in Christ’s case the devil.

As well as Luke Skywalker had to go into the forest and train with Yoda and go through trials and then returned as a Jedi to pick his disciples or in his case his crew/friends. So when you look at these myths they all use the same formula starting with the separation where the hero has to leave his people for whatever reason that myth describes.Then they have the initiation in which this is the hero’s adventure or trials they must complete to become the savior, Jedi or achieve enlightenment whatever the case may be. Lastly the hero must return to his people to pick his disciples or covey their knowledge to their people, or in a physical hero he wins the war or becomes the king. For this topic I am going to discuss a fairly recent hero.

As a child of disney enthusiasts it has come to my attention that the heroes all seem to actually go through the same type of situation as described by Campbell. The disney movie Brave stars the princess Merida who also plays the role of the hero.

She separated from her kingdom and her parents to go on and be herself in a way. Of course, as the cliche goes she ran into trouble while doing it. Merida has a problem with her life being run for her just like most people.

In order to stop herself from being married off she discovers a potion shop thus turning her mother into a bear. The initiation part comes in when she discovers that her mother could remain a bear forever.

She realizes that a reversal must be made all while reaching an epiphany that changing your fate is not always the perfect route. The return almost ends in disaster where the kingdom wants to kill the bear that is her mother.

As she returns and everything goes back to normal, everyone has a new understanding of what life is like and happily ever after ensues. Merida goes through the three steps in order to save her mother and herself. I found a relation between Joseph Campbell and the creation myth, Egypt: Ex Nihilo Beginning. It holds the cosmogonic cycle; creation of the world.

In this myth the God thinks he has it all, he comes into power of all things possible. His achievements give him pleasure but it is not yet fulfilling, which can be seen as a journey of self discovery all on its own.

Although in this myth the god or hero after his many trails toward fulfillment he ends up alone, he is in a deficit land with only me, myself and I, he feels separated. This God then returned to the Primeval Waters in which he began.

He thought with much concentration, which I consider to be his journey; he took a journey inside himself; inside his creativity. His creativity that appeared like a revelation in which he realized his calling, then began to initiate a great creation. He created a man and women and they too began in the Primeval Waters in which this God started.

His return to the place in which he started is where he created his masterpiece that he could not be more proud of. (Class #2) I will be talking about Separation, Initiation and Return in the movie Tangled, which is based of the fairy tale Rapunzel. Rapunzel is drawn to the lanterns that are flown every year on her birthday. She does not know why they are there. They only come up in the sky on her birthday.

Rapunzel confronts her mother and hopes that she will finally get to go see the lanterns this year. Her mother gets mad and tells her that she can not leave the tower for her safety. This was because she had long magic hair that glowed and healed people when she sang.

SEPARATION: Rapunzel meets Flynn Rider. He agrees to take her out of the tower to see the lanterns in return for the satchel that she took from him when she knocked him out. INITIATION: Rapunzel is new to the world since she has never left her tower before. The main trial she had to face was the placement of trust. Should she trust that her mother always knows what is best, or should she trust this stranger who has become her friend/love throughout her journey?

RETURN: In the end, she realizes that she has to make her own decisions and trust in her own instincts. Rapunzel learns to stand up for herself. She finds out that she is the “lost princess” to the kingdom.

Her “mother” was just using her all those years to keep herself young. When Rider was injured, Rapunzel realized that she didn’t need her magic hair to cure him.

She returned to her real family in the end. Joseph Campbell’s ideas about the common monomyth contains revelations of fate, but then the reversal of that fate and a complete learning experience from the situation. If you think about any superhero tale that was produced as a comic book, or even a film, we see all of the elements of the monomyth come together.

My personal favorite is Thor, and he is a good example of how monomyth is explained in modern day tales of a hero. Thor starts out as the prince of his home planet, Asgard. He is respected as prince, but is also portrayed as very rowdy and childish at times.

Thor proceeds to battle with the Frost Planet against his fathers wishes, and Thor unfortunately creates a war between Asgard and the Frost Giants. Out of rage, Odin (Thor’s father and the King of Asgard) banishes Thor to Earth without any of his powers and without his mighty hammer. We see how vulnerable Thor becomes without all of his power, and so we sympathize with him. We see him struggling to adapt to Earth life, because his culture was so different on Asgard. Thor must get his powers back by learning self- control, and then he will be able to wield his hammer again, just in time to save his home planet, AND Earth from the Frost Giants. In the end, we see Thor change completely. He turned himself around, and became fit to be accepted back to Asgard.

Seeing this change in Thor, he becomes even more of a hero in the end of the film. Joseph Campbell’s monomyth ties in well with almost every superhero story, but especially Thor’s, because of the struggles he deals with in order to maintain his power. I agree wholeheartedly. I think Thor is a very good example of the separation-initiation-return theory. Like you said, in the beginning, he has that “je ne sais pas”, that potential to be the hero that he eventually becomes, but he is reluctant to do things the right way, and instead causes a situation that makes him become separated from the place he calls home in order to find himself. And in this happening, he begins the journey of coming to terms with who he is and what he could be.

In the end he returns, like the hero theory always seems to foretell, and he assumes his rightful place. In many hero movies you can always find Joseph Campbell’s you can always find monomyths or something that is very similar. Some movies such as Braveheart have perfect examples of what Joseph Campbell was speaking of. In Braveheart the main character(Hero) is William Wallace and the story takes place in Scotland. The separation of the story/movie occurs when Williams wife is murdered for protecting herself from a soldier who tried to rape her. The initiation occurs when William wants to free his people from being oppressed by Edward Longshanks. He then leads his rebels in battles to solidify their wish to be free and avenge those they had lost.

The initiation itself was him inciting the rebellion. The only problem with this story following Campbell’s monomyth storyline is that the return phase then morphed into a “tragic hero”. In the return part of the movie William Wallace does not return home to a Hero’s welcome or even grow old. He is promptly executed for being a traitor by being drawn and quartered.

His mission was then completed not by him but his rebel friends. This story may not follow the monomyth line perfectly but it works well enough. In almost every modern hero tale today, it is almost standard for the author to follow Campbell’s depiction of a hero nicknamed the Hero’s Journey. Campbell’s hero’s journey follows three major steps: separation, initiation, and return in this order. Separation occurs when something happens to the hero that takes him away from his family & friends, usually getting lost or kidnapped.

After the first stage of separation the initiation stage occurs. This is when the hero goes through trials and overcomes obstacles that definitely make and prove him a hero. The final phase of the hero’s journey is the return. The return allows the hero to go back to his original setting and give them the freedom to live. By now the hero is the protector of the people and the master of his world and maybe another. Today the hero’s journey can be found not just in books but also on television.

Take the hit movie Lion King for example, it follows Campbell’s definition of a hero step-by-step. A young lion named Simba gets separated from the valley by a stampede of animals, then his father (Mufasa) is killed by his own brother (Scar). This is the end of the separation stage. In the initiation stage Simba is out on his own and has to deal with his enemies and even meets his friends/allies. He then conquers all his enemies and has a talk with his dead father. This would lead us into the last step which is the return, where he then returns to the valley and is master of the valley and the rest of the lands.

After our last class, I realized how the works of Joseph Campbell relate to present and past hero myths. The main, relatable work, specifically, is his idea of monomyth.

To readdress what monomyth is, it is simply a hero’s journey. This journey includes three main focuses; separation, initiation, and return.

Separation involves the hero leaving his family or people to help with an outside problem. This hero may be called upon or simply goes on his own free will. Initiation happens when the hero makes contact with the problem he has set off to find. This problem may be a villain, monster, or some sort of “block in the road.” After the hero takes care of the problem, he sets off for his journey back home where, on arrival, is greeted and praised as a savior. Take, for example, the Anglo-Saxon (epic) hero, Beowulf.

This is just one example of a past use of monomyth while there are countless others, both past and present. Beowulf is known as the strongest and bravest in all of the lands and his strength is tested when King Hrothgar informs Beowulf of a monster terrorizing his land.

This monster is known as Grendel and is Beowulf’s toughest battle. Beowulf sets off on this long journey, or the separation part in the case of a monomyth, to answer the call of King Hrothgar and kill the monster Grendel. Beowulf makes first contact with Grendel, or initiation, in the halls of Heorot where he eventually rips off his arm which leads to his death. However, this causes Grendel’s mother to also fight Beowulf and after that, a dragon, both falling to the almighty Beowulf. Once Beowulf is done all of his deeds, he sets off to his home of the Danes, the return in a monomyth, where he is greeted as the savior of the land, confirming that the Epic is, indeed, a monomyth. For this topic I would like to discuss Campbell. Campbell’s theories are ones which we have grown up with ever since we were little.

If you were little and watched shows such as Scooby Doo, to Superman, and basically anything in between then you are familiar with Campbell and his style. Each and every book which contains traces of a hero, follow Campbell’s theories which are separation, initiation, and return. We must also take into consideration that we must like the hero in the story to engage our interest. Can you name a story with a hero in it which doesn’t follow those three qualities? If you read any tales about King Arthur, you know Campbell fairly well.

A breakdown of a tragic hero tale would be Romeo and Juliet. You see separation when Romeo and Juliet can’t see each other due to a family feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. Next you see initiation when Romeo and Juliet go against their parents, and see each other anyway. Lastly you see return when Romeo comes up with a plan to be with Juliet, however she is already dead. This is a tragic form of a hero. But you have to remember not all endings have to be happy.

However the three elements separation, initiation, and return do apply to this story as well as many others. So the next time I read a hero’s tale, I will be sure to keep Campbell in mind and point out his three main concepts. Tragedy is the imitation of an action. In the Native North American tale of the Onondagan tribe’s creation, Star Woman and Earth Divers, we can see many key elements of Tragedy that Aristotle left us with. Aristotle states that each Tragedy must have a plot which includes a beginning, middle, and an end. In the tale Star Woman and Earth Divers the story starts off with Star Woman falling from the sky and landing in a strange land in which she becomes the “creative force”. She then befriends the man-being and they soon have a child, and from this birth came the death of the child’s father.

This child goes onto have a child as well and the cycle began to continue. But before the father could die he cast his wife, Star Woman’s child, and his child from his world to the world below. The world they were cast into is our world, Star Woman and her child taught the people of our world how to survive.

Here they learned of good and evil. Aristotle said that a tragedy would not only invoke feelings of pity, but it would also invoke feelings of fear and this is what the Onondagan tribe’s tale does.

We pity the woman and her child but also fear them because they are the ones that caused death to occur. Campbell was brilliant to uncover that the majority of stories follow a similar pattern and it is undoubtedly true.

Most creation myths consist of three basic stages: separation, initiation, and return. Those three components really do makeup stories and myths but there are more similarities than just the bare essentials. The monomyth can also be referred to as the hero’s journey and it is unbelievable to think that creation myths and even modern pieces of work follow this structure. An example of this is the Disney movie Mulan. Mulan is called to adventure when her father receives a notice to return to the military to protect China from the Huns. This would be the separation, as Mulan leaves to serve in his place. The initiation is when Mulan defeats the head Hun and the return is when she is finally able to go home after saving all of China.

This modern tale most definitely follows the monomyth cycle. Campbell was able to simplify the structure of myths and apply it to all stories and although it may be controversial, it proves to be true for just about every story or myth created. Joseph Campbell was on to something when he talked about, “mono-myths.” As a catholic and believer in my religion, it’s almost disheartening to hear someone say that the beginnings of your religion are just like another one. But when you look into it, it is very interesting to see just how similar two creation tales can be. Joseph basically stated that all of the myths contain certain core themes and patterns, a mono-myth if you will. He stated that every, “Prophet,” or originating figure of a certain religion went through three steps bringing out the origin.

The first was separation, separation from his/her culture, family, or self. Usually the person would go out searching for something or be called forth by an cosmic figure.

Next, the individual would gain some knowledge that would help or save his or her people /restore life. He would then take this knowledge back to the people in the last step, the return.

In class we watched as Campbell pointed out all the similarities that main prophets like Jesus Christ, mohammed, and buddah had, and the fact that they all underwent these three steps with some differences. Analyzing these three individuals got me thinking about another, “Creator.” The Mormon religion, although not exactly a creation myth, have a figurehead that also underwent these steps. The Mormon founder, a man named, “Joseph Smith,” was living in upstate New York in the 1800’s. He underwent the first step in 1823 when he said that an angel directed him to a golden plate with ancient inscriptions on them.

The second step was when he supposedly copied these inscriptions over to a book. When he returned, he published this book as the, “Book of Mormon,” and his followers began to spread the word. Although not a classic creation tale, you can see that the Mormon faith shares some of the mono-myth characteristics.

Very interesting considering the fact that this was not very long ago when compared to some of the myths occurring B.C. When looking at the myths in the reading it is apparent that there is a clear motif when it comes to the destruction of man and this motif is the flood. Whether it be Deucalion, Noah, or Yima the human race is destroyed save one virtuous man and his family. The monomyth Campbell speaks about is obviously present in the fact that the heroes leave civilization behind, are chosen as the only good humans left on the planet and then return to start civilization anew. While the process itself is important to the monomyth, I am far more interested in the fact that a flood is such a common idea between the monotheistic Zoroastrians and Jews as well as the polytheistic Romans.

I think the reason the flood is so common is because people, as far back as civilization goes, have had to rely on the rivers and rain for water. With a common reliance on something comes a common fear, which is when that source of life becomes dangerous. It is this common fear that shapes this flood paradigm as it goes back to the cradles of civilization, which is as close to Campbell’s supposed human origin as one can get. So,even as civilizations grew and splintered, this basic fear still remained as a sort of proof that they all had the same starting point.

In short, the flood stories are as effective proof, as any I can imagine, of Campbell’s monomyth idea since their subject matter is universal. Hercules is a great example of separation, initiation, and return. He was sent on an adventure called The Twelve Labours. First his adventure took him to slay the Nemean Lion. Then on to the fierce-some Hydra.

Next he captured the Golden Hind of Artemis. Next Hercules had too capture the Erymanthian Boar. Then he had too clean the Augean stables in a single day. Then slay the Stymphalian Birds. Then off too capture the Cretan Bull.

Then off to steal the Mares of Diomedes. Obtain the girdle of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. Next he had too obtain the cattle of the monster Geryon. Then he had to steal the apples of the Hesperides. Finally Hercules had to capture and bring back Cerberus.

Now i know that sounds like a lot but he was a very busy and important being. He protected his people and his cause.

This is a great example of separation, initiation and return. A hero’s journey according to the ideas of initiation, separation, and return, is very key to telling the hero’s story. First initiation is when the hero is tested to see whether or not they truly can handle the problem at hand.

Usually involves the gaining of knowledge or power to handle the situation. Also can involve a mentor in the aspect of the hero learning his strengths and weaknesses. Separation is usually the departure from the homeland/town in order to complete their goal. Usually leaving after training is done. This is when the hero officially starts their journey away from home.

The return phase is usually the ending of the life, or the return home from their accomplishment. This part of the journey is usually the ending, and can lead to multiple questions. The return does not always end happily. Sometimes it is a tragic event which led to the demise of both the protagonist and antagonist. I would like to compare Aristotle’s theories about poetic tragedies to the reknown work of Hamlet. When I think of a tragic hero, or a tragedy in general, my mind automatically thinks of the play Hamlet. Aristotle constantly repeats that plot is the key element when it comes to a tragedy, and that a tradgedy is the “imitation of an action”.

The main action in Hamlet is Hamlet’s desire to avenge his father’s death by ultimately killing his uncle. Aristotle also elaborates that the rest of a tragedy’s elements, such as diction, characters, and thought stem must deroot from the plot. Aristotle states that in order for a tragedy to have an effect, it must invoke pity and fear. Audiences pity Hamlet for his poor state of mind, his misfortunes, and the fact that he is a victim of terrible circumstances. There is also fear imbedded in the plot as well when it comes to the uncertainty of the new King’s future actions. Aristotle would consider Hamlet’s plot to be “complex” because of the several ongoing events within the plot. Not only does Hamlet fit most of the criteria of Aristotle’s perfect tragedy, Hamlet himself fits the label of a tragic hero.

Hamlet’s flaw, being that he becomes obsessed with revenge, is a flaw that causes him to be labeled as that. I chose to use Hamlet as my “myth” example because the circumstances that are present in this play really give light to what a tragedy is truly about, especially when it comes to Aristotle and his ideas. Joseph Campbell’s idea of the monomyth can be proven true in the many plots of children’s’ movies that exist today.

For example, Disney’s twist on the classic tale of Hercules follows Campbell’s sequence of separation, initiation, and return. In the movie Hercules sets out to find a way to belong. On this journey he finds the mythological being that trains him to become the hero he was destined to be.

This initiation process begins with him going through different trials with havoc reeking villains. Hercules continues to build his strength and credibility as he defeats each one of these monsters. Then once Hercules has proven his self as a true hero at Mt. Olympus he returns back to Greece and resumes his role as lead defender in Thieves. Many ancient and present tales are centered on this idea of separation, initiation, and return. Without Campbell’s’ finding of this sequence the historical pattern that the monomyth has come to be would be still remain a mystery.

When looking at the cycle of a hero, separation, initiation, and return, it can also be applied to the gods of different cultures. The Greek, Norse, and Egyptians all have a ruling god, but these gods had to go through trials to get to where they were.

Zeus was raised on a secluded island so his father Cronus would not eat him and he separated himself from that island to defeat his father and save his siblings. He then tricked his father into throwing up Zeus’ siblings, together they defeated the titans and Zeus became the king of all gods. Horus of Egypt was hidden by his mother Isis to avoid Set, the god who had killed Horus’ father Osiris. Horus left his mother to get revenge for his father and after a long conflict he triumphed over Set. By doing this Horus returned as the god-king of all of Egypt.

Finally Odin left with his two brothers left to face Ymir, who was a giant who had become evil. After defeating him Odin and his brothers used Ymir to create the world where he returned as the All-Father. Not just heroes display separation, initiation, and return, some gods display it as well. Joseph Campbell’s monomyth theory is around us all more than we care to realize. There are the obvious examples (AKA almost every comic super hero EVER). But there are also the hidden examples in places you’d never think to look.

For example, the movie Treasure Planet. Jim Hawkins, a troublesome teen, is anything but extraordinary.

He actually gets into more trouble then he should. He is anything but a hero.

But he is likable. Take The Rise of The Guardians as another example. Jack Frost (in the beginning) is no where near being a hero. He just likes to have fun.

Or even Lightning McQueen, from the movie Cars. Now, I don’t know about you, but when I hear the term ‘hero’ I tend to think of super powers, or caps, or rich men who like to play with and create really high tech things (Iron Man cough cough). The first thing i think of is certainly NOT a red animated car. But Lighting, Jim, and Jack all go through the same steps that Joseph Campbell describes in his theory. Although I was never aware of it before this class, Joseph’s Campbell’s theory of monomyth and the idea that heroes go through 3 stages, separation, initiation, and return, are applied ubiquitously throughout heroic movies we all know today. I would like to use Pirates of the Caribbean as an example because that is one of my favorite movies of all time. Captain Jack Sparrow, the main character, is well liked throughout the movie for his witty and humorous personality.

In the beginning of the movie, he goes on to explore the seas, and have his own adventure in the outside world. He is tested by several enemies that he has made along his journey, including Captain Barbosa and Davy Jones, and he always seems to make his way out of the sticky situations he involves himself with. As he gets stronger and more powerful, even though he has selfish intentions to go on and make more money and drink more rum on his own ship, he decides to go back and help William Turner, an enemy initially who turned out to be a friend. He helps William seek his vengeance for his father, and along the way helps his people defeat Davy Jones and his crew.

Captain Jack separated from the main setting, he fought threw battles and grew stronger, and then in the end returned to help the people he had left in the first place. This is just one of the many heroes that can be compared with Joseph Campbell’s theory. I find fascination in Cambell’s progress of a hero. The guideline of separation, initiation and return, the idea of a monomyth, is a succinct basis of countless hero based stories and myths that span a timeline of thousands of years. Still to this day is the model being used.

A cookie-cutter, modern day example of this is Pixar’s Finding Nemo. I picked this because, upon reading about Cambell’s ideas, I realized that the story’s plot literally revolves around the aforementioned cycle of the hero. The beginning starts with a physical separation, where Nemo is taken from his father by fishermen.

The initiation comes from Nemo learning to defend himself and work with the help of other fish to get back to the ocean, and, finally, his father (the return). I find this both interesting and comical because, what Cambell applies to such intricate stories of creation and the universe also applies to this Pixar animated film about a fish finding his way home. To think that the backbone of the stories of Christ and of Buddha is the same backbone of simple stories used in children’s movies is absolutely fascinating to me. Not necessarily seen as a hero; Walter Mitty really portrays the hero’s journey.

The film, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty includes all of the credential of a hero’s journey. Walter is a negative assets manager at Life magazine. He works closely with Sean O’Connell, and when Walter’s boss sees one of O’Connell’s negative he asks that it be the cover of the magazine. After realizing the negative is missing, we see the Separation of the journey.

Walter sets out on a journey across the world to try and find O’Connell. The initiation is should Walter break out of his shell and become the hero.

He makes the decision to take non new challenges that he never thought he’d do before. The return is when Walter realizes that even if he doesn’t return with the negative he doesn’t care. He still took on new challenges. I’m going to talk about Campbell’s stages of a heroes journey. His theory consists of a heroes separation, initiation, return.

The example I am going to use is relatively “newer” hero. Since I happen to be a fan of Marvel comics and their characters, I’m going to use one of their prime examples of a hero that goes through the three stages. The origin story of Ironman a.k.a. Tony Stark is a great example of a hero that goes through separation, initiation, and return.

He was a billionaire weapons manufacturer before the separation took place. Now there are several different story arcs to how the separation took place, however I will be referencing that of the first Ironman film that came out in 2008. Tony Stark was doing a weapons demonstration when suddenly ambushed and kidnapped by terrorist, who, happen to be working for his partner Obidiah Stane.

Stark received a fatal wound and would have to invent a electro magnet to prevent shrapnel from entering his heart. This is the separation. He is separated from his former lifestyle and from everyone he knew.

He then came to the realization that the terrorist were using his very own weapons, thus initiating the drive to eradicate the problem. He does so buy building his first Ironman suit dubbed the MK1. He uses his suit to destroy all the terrorist camp and all the weapons.

He is then later rescued by his best friend James Rhodes. Upon his return he realizes that instead of making weapons to protect the people, he would become the weapon instead. He sets of building new suits and finishing off any trace of terrorist using his weapons for mass destruction. Ironman is just one of many heroes that go through the separation, initiation, and return cycle.

We see a man taken away forcefully away from everything he knew and forced to build weapons of mass destruction against his will. He realizes that his weapons that were meant to protect have brought more devastation. Then he sets off to right the wrong by building the ultimate weapon that only he can wield and destroying what he had previously created. I will be relating a tale to the ideas of Joseph Campbell.

One of my favorite movies is Shrek, and it very much relates to Joseph Campbell’s philosophies and ideas. Shrek is a big, green ogre who lives in a swamp in the woods along with many other fairytale creatures. Shrek is the hero and he does go on the path of mythological adventure which is, according to Campbell, separation, initiation, and return.

The first stage is separation, being that he goes away from his home/surroundings and goes on a journey. Shrek does leave his swamp to go find and rescue the princess that is locked away in a tower. The second stage is initiation, being that this main character actually becomes the hero. This is very true in the movie Shrek. He does make it to the treacherous castle, he does save the magnificent princess Fiona, and he does end up in mutual love with her. The third stage is return, being that the hero comes back home and returns triumphantly. At the end of Shrek, Shrek does return to his swamp with Fiona, who is now is wife.

The many other fairytale creatures are there to celebrate with him and be joyous. The plot to almost every story that we know and love follows Campbell’s outline of the hero’s journey. Whether it be in a movie, a TV show, a book, a play, or a video game, the main character will go through those same general events of separation, initiation, and return. Although, not all separations, initiations, and returns fit into the same mold. If they were all the same, we would get bored of it. Some separations occur with the hero willingly and joyously embarking on a daring quest; while other separations are the result of some terrible event that motivates our hero with thoughts of regret, revenge, or redemption. After the separation, the main character is formally initiated as a hero.

This can happen in many different ways. As said in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Some heroes are just heroic by nature.

Others have to work hard to even have the chance of becoming a hero. And some don’t want to be a hero at all, but are forced into the role by circumstance or fate.

Just as no separation or initiation is the same for any two heroes, no return is quiet the same either. Some heroes are lucky and get a victorious, triumphant return home and live happily ever after.

But as we discussed in class, other heroes have a tragic and unforgiving finish, sometimes ending in death, loss, or severe and irreparable injury. Joseph Campbell is one of the greatest mythology writers of the modern era. One of his greatest works, “The Hero with a Thousand Faces’ has great modern and historical ties. His idea of the monomyh is spot on. The idea that the hero goes through a separation, initiation, and return is relevant in many, if not all hero stories. The idea that the chosen one leaves his home, earns his victory on his quest, and then returns a hero.

The story of Prometheus stealing the fire from the gods is a prime example. He separates himself from everyone in order to go on his quest. The initiation is him completing his conquest and getting the fire, and then returning to earth with the fire. Another prime example is Jason going on an adventure to find the golden fleece that has the ability to heal anyone or anything from any affliction it might have. This also relates to The Lord of the Ring, in a sense that Frodo leaves The Shire to go on a quest to destroy The Ring of Power and returns back to The Shire a hero. I believe that Aristotle’s theories of poetic tragedies can be seen throughout most- if not all- myths and tragic stories. Aristotle believes that there are six parts of a tragedy: plot, thought, diction, spectacular, character and song.

All of the well-known and studied tragedies I read throughout high school very closely followed these six characteristics of tragedies put forth by Aristotle. I’d like to compare Aristotle’s theories of poetic tragedies to the play Romeo and Juliet written by Shakespeare.

Aristotle said that a tragedy is an “imitation of an action”. Throughout the play, Romeo and Juliet fall in love and want to be together but have to struggle with differences between their families. This constant struggle to be together is the main plot of the play. Aristotle’s theories on character, diction, and spectacle also play a large role in the determination of whether or not Romeo and Juliet is really a tragedy. The way the characters develop allow for the reader/watcher to pity the young couple and this alone develops an attachment that at the end of the play could bring the entire audience to tears. There are fights and love scenes and these- all a part of the plot- provide a spectacle that doesn’t end until the very last lines of the play. Romeo and Juliet would also be seen as complex in the eyes of Aristotle.

Aristotle believed that all tragedies had to be complexbut not too complex. Romeo and Juliet is a story that is very easy to follow but also requires a lot of thought. Although Romeo and Juliet doesn’t necessarily have a song, it does usually have a break where there is a bit of comedy for the crowd to lighten the mood.

I think this, even though it’s not a song, would be seen by Aristotle as a nice touch to a tragic story. Aristotle’s ideas on tragic heroes also pertains to Romeo and Juliet. Both of the main characters can be seen as tragic heroes because they share the flaws of naivety and impulsiveness. These traits allow for the plot to lead the characters through an ongoing suffering and ultimately their falls. I chose Romeo and Juliet as the story that I tied to Aristotle’s theories because I believe it truly is a tragic story and does fit the criteria put forth by Aristotle.

If you look deep enough into almost any story, you can find Campbell’s idea of the typical heroes journey. To me, the story that stuck out to me when I think of separation, initiation, and return, was Rain Man.

The separation occurs when Charlie Babbitt (the main character), is separated from his older brother. The one thing that makes this separation unique, though, is that Charlie didn’t know the separation ever took place, until he met his brother, Raymond, much later in life.

When Charlie first came in contact with his long lost brother (who was autistic), he had no intentions on developing any sort of true relationship. All Charlie cared about was the money that their father had left for Raymond. Charlie didn’t think it was fair that Raymond received all the money, because Raymond doesn’t even understand the concept of money. So, Charlie basically kidnaps Raymond hoping that it will lead to Charlie receiving the money that he feels rightfully deserves to him. Through this journey, though, Charlie begins to develop a relationship with Raymond, and by the end of the story, Charlie ends up wanting not the money that Raymond possessed, but the brother that Raymond was.

This story follows the ideas of separation, initiation, and return almost perfectly. Charlie and Raymond are separated when Charlie is a child (separation), then Charlie takes Raymond on a journey in order to receive the money that we wants (initiation), and as the story finishes, Charlie finally comes full circle and realizes that he actually loves his brother and wants to spend more time with him (return). The world of literature is full of tragic heroes. As some of my peers have recounted above, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (and expanded universe including especially The Hobbit) is a fantastic example of Campbell’s theories on “mono-myths” and the typical “Hero’s Quest”, and it is also a great literary example of tragedy.

It is my belief that Bilbo Baggins is a quintessential tragic hero. He is no ruler or lord, but he considers his domicile and his home to be all the wealth he needs. Bilbo only agrees to go on the journey because he realizes the worthy cause of the Dwarves-reclaiming their homeland and slaying the murderous, thieving beast that drove the Dwarves out in the first place. Aristotle declared “Now any speech or action that manifests moral purpose of any kind will be expressive of character: the character will be good if the purpose is good”. During the course of the tale, Bilbo frequently rescues his companions in momentous acts of bravery and courage, and the Dwarves accept him not only as one of their own, but as one of the best among them-behind Thorin the heir to the Dwarven throne- but to all this Bilbo remarks simply that he’s just doing his duty. On this Aristotle remarked “The second thing to aim at is propriety (being modest, decent, respectable, etc).” By the time the Lonely Mountain is secured, Bilbo has been through thick and thin many times over, but he still can’t catch a break.

Bilbo is worn from his journeys. Hobbits never leave the Shire and he has crossed many miles (probably all of New Zealand twice) and he longs for some rest. Aristotle determined that tragic heroes must be true to life, and it’s safe to assume that after very nearly being burnt to a crisp by a Dragon anybody would want some laxness. Thorin has reclaimed the Arkenstone, but war is brewing. Bilbo just wants peace and hospitality, just as he does in the beginning of the story.

Aristotle claimed that a tragic hero had to be consistent, and Bilbo remains consistent. Bilbo does all he can to reconcile Thorin and his ambitions, appealing to the bond they’ve had thus far, but it is to no avail. Thorin admonishes Bilbo, and betrays him. This perfectly portrays Aristotle’s main view on the tragic action: “It should come about as the result not of vice, but of some great error or frailty, in a character either such as we have described, or better rather than worse.” Bilbo gets embroiled in a war he never asked for and experiences a major turn of fortune. During the war of the Five Armies Bilbo is again at the razor’s edge, but even so, after he has left the battle, he is still engulfed by greed, misery, and death.

Bilbo was betrayed by one of his only kin, and for petty reasons that were no fault of his own. In this way, even though Bilbo himself does not die, his world falls apart in a calamitous tragedy, and when Bilbo says goodbye to Thorin at the end, the story reaches it’s Katharsis like a true tragedy must. Joseph Cambell’s monomyth is apparent in every hero’s tale.

The three essential steps, separation, initiation, and return, have been used for thousands of years as the playbook for all heroes’ journeys. Many Disney movies, super heroes, and ancient heroes portrayed in myths follow their own unique journeys but they all have the same underlined steps. This was an eye opening truth for me, and I’m sure many others, having watched and read stories and movies such as Batman, the Lion King, the Hunger Games, and Star Wars. All these movies and books had very different settings and protagonists but they all followed the same guidelines that were established centuries ago and are considered famously successful works in the modern world even though they use ancient techniques. The scholar Joseph Campbell established core patterns of myth, and heroic tales around the world. His concepts of separation, initiation, and return can apply not only to ancient hero epics and myth, but to modern cinema and novel. For instance, the tale of Indiana Jones in the search for the lost Arch of the Covenant.

In the initial beginning of the tale, or separation, Jones ventures out to find clues and leads as to where the location of the Arch might be. However Jones must go through many challenges along the adventure, battling Nazi forces that are also in search for the Arch. This would directly relate to Campbell’s concept of Initiation because the hero, Jones, goes through trials and tribulations to complete his search for the Arch. Jones eventually finds the arch, and “returns” home with a journey well accomplished. This story also fits Campbell’s concept of a Monomyth. Which is the existence of an archetypal story arch.

The tale can be directly correlated to this term because of the relation between separation, initiation, and return. We are all drawn to the similar journeys of a hero that Campbell speaks of. Separation, initiation and return are popular moldings of myths because everyone likes to see the hero transform into this huge star.

The Bible is the perfect example of this method. Jesus Christ was in heaven before his arrival on earth.

It was prophesied that he would be the Savior of the world. Being born in humbled beginnings, (similar to Spider-man or Captain America) his future was destined for him after the fall of man.

He was separated from earth and his initiation began once he was born in a manger. People all over the world knew that he was special and watched as he began to preach and philosophize at a young age. The Bible covers the trials he went through- being tempted by Satan, persecution for doing the right things, not fitting in. Jesus also gained many followers/fans who believed in his power and that he was the man spoken of in the Old Testament. Campbell believes that death and resurrection is common motif in legends.

Jesus is an example of this action. He sacrificed himself on the cross to bear the burdens of the world.

His return from death in three days is what caused many people to believe in him. Jesus has another return spoken of in Revelations for his final battle with Satan. He will redeem the world once and for all and give everyone who believes in him a happy ending. Joseph Campbell’s ideas and thoughts on “monomyth” can be seen in modern day plots for all of the basic super hero movies, but after learning about his ideas of separation, initiation and return, i realized just exactly how common of a basic plot structure it is. In the Disney Pixar film, Wall-E, a small robot gets himself into a little trouble in a post apocalyptical world. Following Campbells structure, Wall-E somehow finds himself separated from earth and finds himself stuck on a space ship which is aimlessly roaming around the galaxy.Wall-E then initiates himself onto the ship once he shows the Captain a small plant to indicate that life is being sustained on earth and that it is safe to return home.

Finally, Wall-E is able to return to earth along with everyone else and in an obscure way he safes the day. Now what interested me is that of course you see that structure of separation, initiation and return in the common super hero movie like Batman or the X-men movies,but even in something broadcasted to a much young audience, even something so innocently looked upon like a dinky old robot can follow this structure and turn out to be an amazing story that captivates the audience. Through Joseph Campbell’s theory of a monomyth a hero must complete three basic steps; separation, initiation, and the return. My favorite myth that clearly demonstrates this theory is that of Perseus and Medusa. Perseus begins his journey by visiting the Graeae sisters and convincing them to lead him to the Hesperides. From there he retrieves a knapsack that can hold the head of Medusa, and then travels to Medusa’s cave. It is there that he commits the act that turns him into the hero; cutting of her head.

He finishes the steps by returning home with his heroic prize. All of Greek Mythology are perfect examples of Joseph Campbell’s idea of the monomyth. Each story begins with a quest and then the action that makes the character truly heroic and ends with his return home and praise for becoming a hero. で数少ない例することができます 優れた品質 へ順番にあなたを助けるために、元の品種とこれらの種類、もの これらの多くは、になる傾向があるな価格することができますこうして その中でさえ思わないの彼らの特定ダメージ.
