...rifle range is thus a necessity. One might assume that the University, blessed with so many buildings, could with no trouble make available space large enough to fit the requirements of a new site, an area fifty-five by seventy feet (the dimensions of a ten place range) has proved a great problem. The best answer so far is the basement of the House Squash Courts building, the stucco excrescence surrounded by Kirkland, Lowell, Eliot, and the IAB. There is sufficient room there for a ten or twelve place range, and the concrete walls are strong enough to withstand...
...totals from New Hampshire were reported to Eisenhower when he landed in Germany from Paris for a one-day round of military conferences. Said he: "I am very naturally touched, and more than that, deeply moved . . . Any American who is honored by so many other Americans' considering him fit for the presidency should be proud, or by golly, he is no American...
This plot demands two things for successful execution. First, the photographer must integrate his shots with the story line. The Japanese failed to do this. Rashomon's photographers have taken a series of beautiful stills which do not fit together well. When the photographer should be paying attention to the characters, his lens often wanders to some impressive view of the sun peeking through the trees. Painful though it may be to the roving-eyed, artistic camera man, Rashomon could use some judicious cutting...
...into their stove-warmed tents for the usual round of long, surly wrangles or ridiculous little meetings of a few minutes (one last week lasted only 120 seconds) at which neither side would speak. The issues were the too familiar ones-the Reds' insistence that Russia is a fit neutral to police the truce, the U.S. insistence on "voluntary" repatriation of prisoners, the usual exchanges of insults over mishandling of P.W.s. To cloud the air further, Peking and Moscow burst out with ludicrous charges that the U.N. forces were busily dropping germ-infected insects, cotton wads and leaflets behind...
...leads generally to an aimless nibbling at knowledge, or to excessive specialization. But there is bitter disagreement as to what should be done. Most Deweyites insist that 20th century students must combine the liberal arts with "useful" studies, and that the learning of the past must be "reconstructed" to fit present needs. Adler feels that this view has led to totally inadequate half measures, i.e., digested "survey" courses in the humanities. But there are signs that the great battle-variously expressed as Humanists v. Pragmatists, Thomists V. Positivists,* Adler v. the rest of U.S. education -is slowly beginning to turn...
