Administration Contact office
indicates that some veterans and
their wives are not aware of this
provision.

least one minor child draws a
monthly allowance of $160 for
full-time training under Public
Law 550. If his veteran wife is
also a full-time student, she is
entitled to a monthly allowance
of $135, based upon herself and

Leisure Time
Nash's Theme
Modem man has been handed
leisure on a silver platter and
' does not know what to do with
it, Jay B. Nash told a sparsely
filled Student Union ballroom
last night.
The prominent physical educa
tionist spoke to a University lec
ture attended by some 250 per
sons. Nash noted that it is '‘iron
ical now to ask the question—is
modern man happy?"
He thinks that the average
American is “in a rut.’’ Specta
j tor sports, gambling, radio, tele
vision, and the movies all occupy
time but do not give the modern
; man a sense of satisfaction which
‘ Nash believes is essential to our
' civilization.
Creative arts--the mastery of
■ skills-offer challenges to the
j individual which give man a way
: to get confidence to face the
j world. Nash feels that the huge
amounts of time spent by the
American people in valueless oc
cupation of leisure time justifies
his belief that more skills should
be taught in American schools.
"I am not pleading for illiter
acy.” Nash said, but he stated
that schools should devote more
time to teaching skills, not facts.
It is skills, the feeling of chal
lenges and perfections, that offer
the key to modern man’s happi
ness in leisure time activities.
Nash compared the Greek and
Roman concepts of culture to il
lustrate modem America's prob
lem in finding a solution to the
occupation of leisure time.
The Greeks, Nash paid, were
concerned with getting perfec
tion in their activities. The Ro
mans were more interested in
knowing about things. The
United States has “accepted the
Roman concept of culture”—
knowing instead of doing.
Nash justifies the teaching of
skills, the mastery of skills in
over 1000 different areas, as a
solution for a nation that needs
more challenges if it wishes to
survive. •
Skills provide these challenges,
Nash stated. One of the func
tions of the American schools
should be to find the individual's
skill, "his bright spot,” so that
America is a progressive nation.
