50 Watchtower Conventioneers Room in Hall
More than 50 Jehovah's Witnesses are staying at Naismith Hall in conjunction with a five-day international Watchtower conference and lectures at the Royals' Stadium in Kargas City.
Approximately 40,000 persons are expected to attend the convention, and because Kansas City doesn't have enough space, many of the Wetlands are on the outskirts of the city. Several families are boarding at Naimish.
Ray Bennison, president of the Conventions and Visitors Bureau of Greater Kansas City, said he expected an economic boom in the region from the Witnesses for gas, lodging and food.
Jebovah's Witnesses believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible as their guide, and they base all of their principles on the Bible. They are called Jebovah's Witnesses because they witness to Jehovah (God), and they witness for Him.
The theme of the convention is Divine Victory. The Witnesses are hoping for what they call a victory of the followers of Christ over the world, without armed conflict.

Pornographic Films Used To Test Sexual Arousal
By NICHOLAS DE JONGH
The Manchester Guardian
LONDON-Pornographic films have been shown at the Institute of Psychiatry in London to volunteers in what was believed to be the first research study using both direct and indirect methods to assess the extent of sexual arousal in men.
The treatment of frigidity, premature ejaculation and impotence may be helped as a result of the research and, in the longer term, as a cause for better health in the treatment of certain sexual offenders.
Professor Hans Eysenck of the Institute of Psychiatry arranged to have films loaned from stocks that the British Department of Customs and Excise had seized and they were sent to the University Nelson, research psychologist at the Institute, who has conducted the experiments.
First unconfirmed results of the test suggest that in some cases there is a discrepancy between sexual arousal and sexual pleasure; that is to say in some cases the men, all of whom were between 18 and old, and came from schools of dentistry, school and art, and printing, showed signs of sexual arousal though no accompanying pleasure.
Volunteers for the experiment were many, Nelson said.
Forty were needed to submit themselves to the ordeal of seeing 10 "blue" films, each lasting five minutes and depicting a series of sexual encounters from hugging and intercourse in the first two films to an orgy in the last including oral sex.
After viewing the films, the subjects were asked for their subjective responses, which were to be compared with the direct responses metered from their bodies.
However, no psychologist was needed to discover that many enjoyed watching the orgy, and a large number least liked the orgy, severely clinically in its depiction of sex.
An additional incentive was payment of $13 for five hours or less of work. Each had to wear a face mask and questionnaire about his personality and his social attitudes. Then each was shown the films in darkened cubicles and in the comfort of reclining chairs and a locked door.
The assessments of the tests may show that specific personality groups manifest the same reactions to sexual stimul, which would suggest that it is wrong to treat sufferers from impotence or premature ejaculation as though the source of their problems were common to all rather than to a specific personality group.
Rasmussen, Harlowton, Mont., graduate student. The fossil unearthed recently is unique because many of its scales are still intact.
Bonner and Martin were assisted in the excavation by the Biology I honors class and James Bee, assistant professor of systematics and ecology.
The Gillicus was discovered by Bonner in the Niobara Cretaceous chalk beds of western Kansas. The beds are located near Havs.
The Gillicus fish existed about 100 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. They reached lengths up to nine feet. The discovery by Bonner is for 6 feet 9 inches long.
To exhume it, as much of the fish as possible was exposed and a wooden frame was built around it. Plaster was then poured over the fish and allowed to harden.
Fletcher Miller, Topea sophomore, and Charla Conley, Lawrence sophomore, assisted Martin and Bonner in the final excavation of the fish.
The Gillcus will be ready for display next fall, Rasmussen said.
Myth
BUSINESS HAS CARED FOR PEOPLE SO LONG THAT MANY NOW TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
Perhaps you believe business should exercise more responsibility in caring for people in the United States. You want to send more people to school, provide more welfare money for the needy, more support for the indigent, create more awareness in the fine arts for the underprivileged. In general, you think business should take on a greater share of social responsibility.
Fact
In a quiet, almost too unobstructive way, business and businessmen have been paying their social responsibility bills for years. . . . Generous contributions in time and money to literally every worthwhile project . . . medical research, cultural improvements, new products, new services, new jobs, investments for the future. Business will continue to do its part. Profit makes it all possible.
