SUMMARY

'TOWNJALL'

ay

Flans for a safe driving campaign
to be held on the campus from
April 28 through May 4 are being
formulated by the Student Union
and The Kernel.
Dorothy Hillcnmeyer, president of
the Union board, named a safe driv- ing committee, which met for the
first time yesterday afternoon in the
building.
Bill Karraker,
Union
chairman, appointed seven sub- committees to make arrangements
for the drive.
At yesterday's meeting suitable
equipment for the campaign was
selected. The major part of this
equipment including a brake reac- tion detonator, a question box, and
apparatus for tests, in activity and
steadiness, will be obtained from
the American Automobile associa
tion headquarters. Washington, D. C.
Dr. M. M. White, nsvcholoev de- Dartment. has placed department
equipment at the disposal of the
committee, and this equipment will
consist mainly of eyesight and color
tests.

The problem indicates two things. In the first

:n i he l'niersii this sear.
Dr. Durant has undouhiedly done more to
throw hack the curtains which veil the subjects
of ph"ilosoph and history than any one man in
Vinerita. His Story of Philosophy and Story of
Cn iliiiition might v ell be called "The MrGuf-k'- s
Readers of I.ilxral Education."
As a sixakcr, he is likewise highl regarded.
His haikpoimd of extensive travel and wide
rtadiiig are contributing factors to lectures that
are well attended whether they' be delivered in
New ork or Middletown.
1'iiit i he thing that makes tonight's address
mm h h ii important one is that Dr. Durant has
chosen as his subject "The Crisis in American
Civilization." At this particular time, when hall
the world wars and the other half is faced with
the problem of dealing with the strange new
ideologies of the age, it is well that we undergraduates mat have the opportunity of hearing
a tjiialifted observer interpret the American
scene.
Aciualh. Dr. Durant is more than a casual
He not only is aware of what is going on,
he is able to see what effect these events are having iiMn us as a nation, and has carefully worked

arising problem. Whether or not these proposals

thing that counts.
We don't know et of course what Dr. Durant

sas will have significance and will be based on
common sense. Those who were farsighted
enough to obtain tickets last week are due for
an informative evening.

he Sound of Fury of campus elections is

ollucts and student legislature.
ne again it comes time for the voice to cr
in (we hope not) the wilderness. For these coming lei lions there is more reason than ever to
candidates, not most beautiseli t
ful nor most muscular candidates. The legislature during this first year has demonstrated its
