DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Ruthven Urges Cultural Studies Science, Humanities to Continue in Wartime President Alexander G. Ruthven, urging educators to emphasize the importance of teaching the humani- ties and pure science, yesterday stated that the United States must be a "reservoir of culture" as well as a "reservoir of fighting men and arma- ments." In an article "Universities in War- time", appearing yesterday in the current issue of "The Nation's Schools", President Ruthven said that although curriculum changes are es- sential to the war effort, we must not give up cultural studies and the bus- iness of "forming creative minds, studying human problems, and pre- paring citizens to govern themselves intelligently." "The colleges and universities are now rendering their proper service in the emergency as fully as is any other type of institution or group of work- ers," President Ruthven said. Accel- erating programs, lending staff mem- bers for special services, adding new courses of a technical nature and con- ducting research, are the innovations he listed. However, the article questioned the success of schools in providing con- structive leadership and impressing on citizens their responsibility toward the war and post-war problems. "The primary function of educational agencies in a democracy is strength- ening human will by knowledge, rea- son and virtue. In these respects we are not doing as well as Great Bri- tain," Dr. Ruthven said. "Education as distinguished from technical training may have to be scrapped for the duration of the war," he asserted. Well, What Do You Expect: 8 'clocksh New Yearsh Day Ish what you can 'spect if shtu- dents are ashked to attend t eight o'clocksh on New Yearsh Day. A student opened the door of a room in Romance Languages where an eight o'clock class in Spanish was half-over. Wearing tails and white tie, he doffed his topper, bowed and peered wearily into the room. "G'morning, everybody! Happy- nooyear!" Then he took the longest route to three seats near the back of the room. One of them, he was sure, be- longed to him. But the seats were all taken. Getting up from an embarrassed coed's lap, he mumbled: "Excushe me but I wash shure thish ushed to be mine." The professor asked him to take another seat and the class went on ash ushual. 3 Killed in Bomber Crash; 16 Parachute to Safety GRANITE CITY, Ill., Jan. 2.-(A')- Three men were killed today in the crash of an Army bomber, but 16 others parachuted to safety before the' airplane smashed nose - down and burst into flames in a field six miles east of here.

'ONE IF BY LAND' COLUMBIA, Mo., Jan. 2.- (W)- Columns of sailors marching on Co- lumbia streets after dark will carry Willkie Makes Proposal for War Council NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-(/P)-Wen- dell L. Willkie today called for the formation of a working common council of the United Nations to plan war and economic strategy now and cooperation after victory. Addressing an opera victory rally at this afternoon's performance of the Metropolitan Opera Company, the Republican candidate for Presi- dent in 1940 asserted that the United Nations must be made "a fact and not a mere euphonious phrase." The program was broadcast over the Blue Network. "If history has taught us any- thing," Willkie said, "it has taught us that people obtain in a peace only what they win while they fight. "What I want to emphasize today is that planning will do no good un- less we give our plans reality; that we will have no United Nations after the war unless we make the United Nations nov a fact and not a mere euphonious phrase." Willkie declared that today, a year after the signing of the United Na- tions pact, "we should face the fact that if hopeful billions of human beings are not to be disappointed, the United Nations must become a common council, not only for the winning of the war but for the fu- ture welfare of mankind."
