Educator Contrasts
Today's Americans
With Early Pioneers
"Everything is moving and!
nothing ia permanent except
change itself," was the dominant
theme of the address given Wed-
nesday morning by Dr. A. Cas- i
well Ellis, noted educator, at a I
special assembly in the main au-
ditorium.
The speech, "The Challenge of
the Changing World," was ad-
dressed especially to the youth of
today, and was concerned with the
difficulties facing this generation
unknown to former generations.
Dr. Ellis, former director of the
Department of Extension of the
University of Texas, emphasized
that the time of the untrained
laborer has passed, that the fu-
ture is for the trained workers
and the specialists.
Modern Changes
Using his personal experiences
as a clerk in a department store
50 years ago to contrast with the
highly-specialized salesmen in the
department stores of today, Dr.
Ellis illustrated the great chango
in sales methods. He pointed out
a first lieutenant in the United
States Army Air Forces and left

youth
decades ago.
Going still farther back into
the history of America, Dr. Ellis
sketched a brief outline of the
difficulties that, faced the first
settlers on the American conti-
nent as contrary to those faced by
Americans today.
"Brutes of Humanity"
"We do not have before us to-
day the wild continent and wild
beasts that our ancestors faced,
but instead we have the brutes of
humanity," stressed Dr. Ellis.
"Have we allowed ourselves to
become too soft, too weak, too
selfish?" Questioning the wisdom
of the American people in allow-
ing this condition to come about,
the lecturer also spoke of the
many special privileges awarded
to a few individuals which need
to be given to all.
"Men and nations reap what
they sow," continued Dr. Ellis,
"and vtii still are uneducated if we
do not realize that if we repress
the liberties of others instead of
developing them, we will destroy
our own liberties."
Students' Duties
Mentioning the protection the
state has given from secret po-
lice, concentration camps, and in-
human treatment suffered by citi-
zens of other countries, the edu-
cator questioned, "What can stu-
dents do about it?"

Ted Shawn
Appears Here
On March 16
Ted Shawn, recognized as
America's foremost male danccr,
will appear in a unique lecture-
recitul in the college main auditor-
ium Tuesday night, March 16.
His program performance, a
number of the college fine arts
series, includes a demonstration
of the meaning of movement and
gesture and, in addition, approx-
imately half of the program is
devoted to performance by Shawn
of a number of his most famous
dances and also a group of strik-
ing new ones.
Not until he was out of col-
lege, stricken by diphtheria, and
left helpless from his waist down,
did Shawn take up dancing. Grad-
ually recovering by exercise, he
decided that the dance was his
