Fine Arts Festival planned in March
Singer Ella Fitzgerald, cartoonist Al Capp, and jazz musician Oscar Peterson will be among the attractions offered during the second annual Festival of the Arts, March 24 to 30 in Hoch Auditorium.
The festival, sponsored by Student Union Activities (SUA), is planned as a series of performances, lectures, and concerts presented each night during the week. Students may purchase tickets for $4.50 for all performances by signing and turning in an optional card provided during second semester enrollment.
"Since freshmen and seniors will enroll around Dec. 1, this year, these optional cards will be ready for them at that time," said Collene Collins, Leavenworth sophomore and a member of the Festival committee. "Students will sign up just like they did for Jayhawker yearbooks first semester. The $4.50 will be added to the fee statement for that semester.
Discount widened
"For the first time, non-students and Lawrence residents will be able to buy discount tickets also," Miss Collins said. "They will receive coupons in the mail just like students. From March 4 to 15, coupons may be turned in at the SUA office for permanent seats for each attraction. After March 15 the general public will be allowed to purchase remaining tickets for any performance."
The schedule for this year's Festival is as follows: Sunday, March 24, the Oscar Peterson Jazz Trio; Monday, presentation of an underground movie and a lecture by its creator, Ed M. Emshwiller; Tuesday, the Harkness Ballet; Wednesday, lecture by Henry Geldzahler, curator of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, on "American Painting in the Twentieth Century"; Thursday, cartoonist Al Capp; Friday, a new cinema festival of avant garde films; Saturday, the Ella Fitzgerald concert.
Correspondent sees gap in Iron Curtain
By John Gillie Kansan Staff Reporter
John Hlavacek, foreign correspondent and news anayst, told a sparse audience Monday morning in Hoch Auditorium that the Eastern European countries are drawing closer to the West but still harbor fears of a united Germany.
Hlavacek, opening World Affairs Week in place of Paul-Henri Spaak, who had pneumonia, said that the people of Eastern Europe treat Germans with a cautious regard. The older generations, particularly Poland and Yugoslavia, remember too vividly the German purges of World War II.
Hlavacek, foreign news analyst for KMTV. Omaha, recently returned from a 10-week factfinding tour of six European communist-bloc nations.
During the 22 years since the end of World War II these buffer states "have been breaking ties with the Soviet Union," he said. These ties have been largely replaced with an increased dependence upon western nations.
He cited Romania's refusal to break diplomatic relations with Israel during the Middle Eastern War as an expression of the newly acquired independence that these nations possess.
He said that Romania now trades more extensively with the West than it does either with its fellow bloc members or with Soviet Russia.
During this same period, particularly in the last five years, individuals have been allowed new personal freedoms within the countries. Hlavacek said he was free to speak with anyone and could go to the homes of the people he met

Liu reviews I-Club budget
Ex-president shoulders blame
By Diane Wengler Kansan Staff Reporter
Last year's International Club president said he's to blame for at least part of the Club's financial problems.
Minister's sermon incites controversy
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — (UPI)
—Controversy still swirled today around this old colonial city where an Episcopal minister looked President Johnson in the eye Sunday and criticized U.S. policy in Vietnam.
Mayor H. M. Stryker called the incident "a most unfortunate situation." Gov. Mills E. Godwin sent the President a letter of apology. Virginia's two senators,
Harry F. Byrd Jr. and William Spong, called the incident regrettable and one of the state's leading newspapers said "Virginia was humiliated before the world."
The Rev. Cotesworth Pincney Lewis, rector at historic Bruton Parish where George Washington worshipped two centuries ago, got the controversy started Sunday when he told Johnson during a sermon that many Americans
were "appalled" and "mystified" by the war in Vietnam.
Lewis fielded about 50 telephone calls and telegrams from around the country, many of them critical, and then went into seclusion. His criticism of the President came at the end of a series of speeches by Johnson explaining the U.S. position during a two-day Veterans Day swing of military bases across the country.
AND THE WALLS KEEP FALLING
Only sections of the walls remain as workmen continue to raze Old Robinson gymnasium. Parts of the walls on all four sides are down as little more than half of the outside walls remain of the old KU building.
But even his acceptance leaves unanswered questions.
Liu explains
The Club ended last year $1,200 in debt, and an investigation showed no one kept books on the club's expenditures.
Sam Liu, president of the club during the second semester and now working as a marketing analyst for Bankers Life and Casualty in Chicago, said the weekly programs he initiated for the Club left him with no time for the budget or to keep track of bills.
Liu's explanation for the second semester expenses leave little money unaccounted for, but still leaves the question of how the International Club spent $2,000 during the first semester—including items such as a $129 dance guitar, signed for by the president, which is nowhere to be found.
Liu said because first semester's club spent $2,000 of the club's allotted $2,400, he didn't have enough money for an effective program or even enough to pay the bills.
500 members
The International Club, Liu said, has about 500 students which makes it one of the largest clubs on the campus. Even with the weekly meetings the club has, he said, the $400 couldn't cover Kansas Union room rental fees and refreshment fees.
Liu said he believed the club sold about 300 tickets to the International Feast of Nations last spring. The tickets, Liu said, sold for about $1.50, so about $450 was taken in by the event. Complimentary tickets, he said, were given to several professors, the 20 girls participating in the beauty contest, the seven judges, the groups providing the entertainment, the officers, and the students cooking the dinners.

Burns explains ASC proposals
Two new amendments to the All-Student Council's constitution will appear on a referendum ballot during this week's elections, according to Rosie Burns, Caldwell senior and co-chairman of the ASC elections committee.
The first amendment calls for the addition of class presidents to the ASC; guarantees each district at least one representative for each 1,500 people in the district; and ups the number of ballots needed to elect more than one candidate. This means that, under the new system, the same number of ballots cast would
The second amendment would decrease the number of living districts from ten to nine. "The new amendment excludes the district of professional fraternities and co-operative houses," Miss Burns said. "Professional fraternities have been included in the social fraternity district."
The amendments were submitted by Russell Woody, Hill City law student and representative of the married students district.
