Childs, Professor Emeri- tus of Columbia University Teach- ers College yesterday. Prof. Childs asserted that Dewey was profoundly influenced by the years he spent here at the Uni- versity (1889-1904) and the ten years following, which he spent at the University of Chicago. In the midwest, he said, Dewey was impressed by the rugged free- dom and self-independence he saw in a*social order equalized by a common bond to the soil for sus- tenance. Grounds Outlook His years in the middle west grounded Dewey's outlook on life, said Prof. Childs. This point of view was characterized by its or- ientation to the future rather than the past, its linkage of thought with action, and its stress on em- pirical values. Dewey the philosopher emerged as the foremost interpreter of American life and thought, Prof. Childs related, citing him as "guide, mentor and conscience of the American people." His sharp insights were best ex- pressed in his educational writings, By NORMA SUE WOLFE The Stearns Collection of Musi- cal Instruments, formerly on dis- play only when an event was scheduled at Hill Aud., will be open from 3-4 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays starting Tues., Oct. 13. Prof. Robert Warner of the mu- sic school announced there are a variety of exhibits in the collec- tion. As curator of the collection, he cited the Handel exhibit, a cabinet of oriental instruments, and collections of brass and wood- wind instruments. The Handel exhibit Includes a virginal, an early 17th ,century keyboard instrument *which has been restored to playable condi- tion; an 18th century flute; and an oboe of the same period. A rarity in this exhibit is a re- production of an 18th century di- ola da gamba, a six-stringed Ital- ian instrument the size of a cello. This base instrument was also used in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, and is included in the Handel exhibit because the com- Students May Borrow Prints The Student Art Print Loan Collection will be on exhibit in the Student Activities Building this Thursday and Friday from 1 to 5 p.m., and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. poser wrote one work for the strument.

Uniersity J PROF. JOHN CHILDS ... discusses Dewey for Dewey recognized that both philosophy and education are civi- lizational undertakings. Raises Controversy Thus it isn't surprising, Prof. Childs remarked, that the current controversy surrounding Dewey's work centers about the ends and means of American education. In conclusion, Prof. Childs called education a civilizational under- taking, saying that the sin of the schools is to forget the society of which they are the creatures and from which they derive both sub- ject matter and purpose.

Jack Petoskey, orientation di-, rector said yesterday, "but of course, we are certainly open for suggestions." Referring to the "Orientation Week Analysis and Policy State-{ ment" issued last week by the As- sembly Association and Inter- House Council, Petoskey said that he had invited the officials in- volved to meet with him for dis- cussion of the recommendations involved. The statement requests the postponement or elimination of several all-campus orientation ac- tivities, including the freshman mixer, orientation dance and Un- ion Madness, all Union - League sponsored activities aimed prima- rily at incoming students. "We don't feel that new students really meet people at these large scale activities," Joan Comiano, '61, President of Assembly ex-+ plained. Boren Chertkov, '60, president of IHC, added that they felt the best way to achieve social orienta- tion was on the small group level, preferably within the residence hall structure. "The house programs have been thwarted by these all-campus ac- tivities," Miss Comiano added. Ronnie Posner, '61, League Ori- entation Chairman, felt that Ori- entation is good as it stands. She pointed out that it is difficult to postpone all-campus mixers into Organizxation1 I Noticesj (Use of this column for an- nouncements is available to off i- cialy recognized and registered or- ganizations only.

"We are not in competition with any other organization," she said. "We are just trying to see that the new students get the best oppor- tunities possible." Miss Posner also added that the committee was open to any sugges- tions. Insurance Plan Still Offers Many Benefits Even though the rates have gone up, the Student Health In- chairman of the Student Govern- ment Council Health Insurance ance is still the best deal you can get, David Carpenter, '61, chair- man of the Student Government Council Health Insurance Com- mittee said. In a letter issued by the SGC it was explained the reason for the increase in rates was the excessive claims that were experienced in the two years by the company op- erating the plan. The excessive claim experience was mostly due to the unusual broadness of the coverage. There- fore besides the increase in rates it was necessary to modify the plan to a certain extent. The main change has been the elimination of payment for out- patient benefits, unless they are necessitated by accident. Carpenter pointed out that this was not the only group insurance that SGC could have obtained. But of the many choices they had this one was taken due to the low rates -and the better coverage'of- fered. This plan covers the student 24 hours a day both while he is on campus and is on vacation. It is intended to supplement the Health Service facilities at the University and to provide maximum coverage Students have until Oct. 21 to sign up for this insurance plan.
