Voting Is Slow In ASC Election By Arthur Miller The speaker was Walter Kaufmann, author and professor of philosophy at Princeton University. Speaking at the second of a series of Humanities Lectures, he discussed existentialism (the philosophy concerned with an individual's making himself what he is). The voting dragged, and two representatives of the campus political parties played rummy this afternoon as a few students shuffled to the polls to vote. "It seems a little slower than yesterday," a candidate commented. "Yeah," another replied. "It's probably due to the weather." A student came up to vote. "Do you have your dean's card?" a poll-worker asked. "No." the voter replied. "Then you'll have to go to the basement and get it." Several poll-workers were finishing their lunches, and the faint smell of oranges lingered over the voting area. A few more voters approached, and the rummy game moved to a table. At the west end of the first floor of Strong Hall, a polling place was closed—not enough poll workers, or voters. The noon count showed the following breakdown of voting by districts:

"I THINK WE (EDUCATORS) sometimes fool people out of ideas of philosophy, religion, politics and racial prejudice," he said. "But our business is not to fool people out of an idea by making it sound unimportant. It's to make them think more conscientiously, carefully and critically." Prof. Kaufmann explained that there were differences of thought in the existential school and these differences made it hard to pin down its doctrines. "EXISTENTIALISM IS INvolved with feelings," he went on. "This is where they start — with extreme anxiety, death or grief. This makes their writings very exciting." Prof. Kaufmann then turned to a critique of existentialism. He said that by criticizing one philosopher, he could present a picture of philosophical existentialism. He "picked on the greatest of the lot" — Kierkegaard — discussing Kierkegaard's view of reason. "Kierkegaard becomes distinctive in his connection of reason," he said. "He starts with a strong sense of the limitation of reason." AFTER KIERKGEAARD SEES that reason has limits, Prof. Kaufmann said, he goes too far in saying it cannot serve any function. "Reason can serve a purpose." Prof. Kaufmann asserted. "It can protect us from bad circumstances." He added that Kierkegaard showed a streak of subjectivism (the theory that limits knowledge with reality). "Kierkegaard does not distinguish sincerity from truth. In the first place he says sincerity in some respects is more important than subjective truth. He believes that the more certain a person is about his idea, the more true it is. "BUT." PROF. KAUFMANN said, "a man may be sincere in his beliefs but still be wrong. "To neutralism, and this would delay the United States' program in Iran," Bayne said in the question period after his talk. "The probability of chaos would be great," he asserted. "In the second place, he confuse certainty with truth." He said that expressing one's self clearly does not mean one grasps the truth. The more humble person may be afraid to express himself but be right, he added. "And third, it is occasionally found in Kierkegaard the idea that what makes one happy is true for him. It leaves wide open the question whether he is right or wrong." U.S. Aid to Iran Creates Danger, Says Bayne U. S. aid to Iran has created a revolutionary order which may destroy the progress the country has made, E. A. Bayne, American Universities Field Staff representative, said yesterday at the Faculty Forum. Where would they turn? WHAT THE UNITED STATES should do about the problem in Iran. Mr. Bayne will answer in his debate with Burton Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, Friday at the Current Events Forum. U. S. aid to Iran has developed a strong social fabric, Mr. Bayne said. "But in so doing we have created a problem which may destroy the order we have created," he explained. Out of their despair a desire to overthrow the old elements of society which inhibit them develops, Mr. Bayne said. THE PROBLEM consists of villagers who have come to Teheran and have lost the security they knew in their former society, he said. "These people move into the city and are confronted with a money economy, job contracts and freedom. They feel lost." The image was based on things the Iranians had never seen, Mr. Bayne said. The U.S. reached people with a massive program of malaria control and white and red health mobiles, he continued. The policy which has resulted in this situation was formulated to meet a vacuum the West caused by the abrupt withdrawal of the British when Dr. Mossadegh assumed power in 1950. Mossadegh rode into power on a wave of nationalism which flamed in the country. The United States—previous to this—had followed British policy to the hilt, Mr. Bayne continued. "THESE ITEMS became status symbols to the Iranians and every village completed for such things as insect sprayings and privies." Mr. Bayne explained. "But now the United States had to fill this vacuum," he said. "It undertook to fly the U.S. flag and establish an image." When Mossadegh fell in 1953, the U.S. was reputed to have helped cause it, Mr. Bayne said. Actually, the CIA sponsored revolution came off two weeks after the decisive battle had been won, he continued. Since then the U.S. has tried to help Iran achieve economic stability and enter the western bloc, Mr. Bayne said. But the increased urbanization of Teheran since 1948 has created serious problems for Iran and, ultimately, for the U.S., he said. Daily hansan 59th Year, No. 44 'Diddely Dumptin, My Son John' Wednesday, November 15, 1961 LAWRENCE, KANSAS George Hart Uses Rhyme To Mock Governor Anderson By Zeke Wigglesworth A Democratic candidate for governor of Kansas in 1962 last night charged that Kansas Gov. John Anderson does not know what he is doing. George Hart, former state treasurer of Kansas, and a candidate for governor next year, spoke to 25 A spokesman for the Rayburn family said the 78-year-old "Mr. Sam's" death is "only a matter of hours." Sam Rayburn Loses Alertness Grows Worse He was having fewer rallies from sinking spells, and each rally is weaker than the last. The bullet in said he no longer was as alert as he had been. Rayburn's two sisters spent much of the night with him, then left in the early morning hours. BONHAM, Tex. —(UPI)— House Speaker Sam Rayburn sank toward death today. His alertness diminished and his family felt the end was near. A medical bulletin issued by the Risser Hospital in Bonham at 9:30 a.m., Lawrence time, said the cancer-stricken speaker slept "unusually soundly" last night. There was no change in blood pressure or pulse. The cancer, diagnosed as inoperable last Oct. 5, has spread through much of his body. Mr. Rayburn has been a member of the U.S. House of Representatives 48 years, longer than any other man in history. He has been speaker 16 years, more than twice as long as any other man. Mr. Rayburn was dosed with experimental cancer drugs. They had little or no effect and on Oct. 31 he returned to Eonham to die, as he wished, among his friends and neighbors. He started suffering severe back pains more than three months ago, while Congress was still in session. Doctors in Washington sent him home to Bonham. They and the Rev. Jack Carson, 30, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Bonham, gathered at 7 p.m. in his room. With the speaker in a rally and sleeping peacefully, they left. The family includes Mr. Rayburn's only living brother, Dick Rayburn of Ector, Tex.; two sisters, Mrs. W. A. Thomas of Dallas and Mrs. S. E. (CQ) Bartley of Bonham; a nephew, Robert Bartley of Washington, D.C., who is a member of the Federal Communications Commission, and two nieces, Mrs. Joyce Lightfoot of Bonham and Mrs. Tom Bolton of Dallas. He became progressively worse and on Oct. 2, Dr. Joe JRoseir, his Bonham physician, sent him to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas for a detailed test. He has had periodic sinking spells, but his condition from the cancer itself was pronounced critical for the first time last Saturday. At 5:30 p.m. yesterday Risser considered death so imminent that he called in Mr. Rayburn's family. An hour later, they started returning. All were seen to return except Mr. Rayburn's brother, who is in his 70s. The cancer was discovered Oct. 5. It was too far advanced to operate. Young Democrats in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union. As he attacked Gov. Anderson, Mr.Hart, clad in a blue suit, black socks and a green tie with a donkey tie clap, raised his right hand. "GOVERNOR 'junior' Anderson reminds me of a nursery rhyme; you've all heard it: "Diddely Dumptin, my son John. Has one shoe off and one shoe on. on . . . "As he stated one day he was opposed to federal aid, and a very few days later he said the federal government should come in and repair a county road in Butler county "Diddely Dumptim, my son John, Wid one shoe off, and one shoe " . cannot make up his mind what is good for Kansas." He said the Governor's mansion is a waste of money. "I DON'T WANT the state to re rebuild a deteriorated estate such as Cedar Crest (the mansion and estate) so one can act like royalty Veep Leads in Philippine Vote MANILA — (UPI) — Pro-American Vice President Diosdado Macapagal held a commanding lead early today in the Philippine Presidential race and his campaign manager claimed victory. But incumbent President Carlos P. Garcia refused to be pushed into a concession, maintaining that most of the votes still out from Tuesday's election are from his strongholds in the south and central areas of the country. WITH ABOUT 70 per cent of the estimated seven million ballots counted, the 51-year-old Macapagal led incumbent President Garcia by about 650,000 votes. Most of the remaining uncounted votes are from the East Central and Southern Philippines, where Garcia generally was believed to have an edge because his home is in this area. However, Macapagal, a northerner, appeared to be cutting deeply into the early votes from these regions. Macapagal held a news conference in his frame and concrete house today and talked as though he already were president. HE SAID he would appoint Emanuel Pelaez, Garcia's liberal running mate, his foreign minister if he is elected. (Vice president decided separately.) This was a pointed reference to the fact that as vice president elected on an opposition slate with Garcia he never was given any kind of cabinet post or important job in the present administration. Earlier, Macapagal told United Press International that he would seek closer defense alliances with the United States if elected. "I favor the fullest implementation of security measures with the United States to strengthen the defense of the two countries in Asia," he said. Peace-Pact Trip Canceled Due to Rain Plans for seven University students to fly to MU to participate in a peace-pact conference have been called off because of bad weather. The students, members of an All Student Council committee headed by Max Eberhart, Great Bend senior, were to present KU's recommendations for a peace pact with Missouri. and entertain their royal subjects at the tune of over a half-million dollars of the Kansas taxpayers' money . . . If I am governor I do not want to live like an emperor in the 'Castle on the Kaw.' The Lawrence-Douglas County branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold a "Freedom Fund" banquet at 6:30 p.m. Friday in the Crystal Room of the Eldridge Hotel. "I don't have a herd of Shetland ponies — I have three fox terrier dogs and all they need is a fire hydrant outside the door; they don't need hundreds and hundreds of acres to run over and graze on. Mr. Hart said he is definitely a candidate for governor next year. "I want you to know that I am sincere in my running for governor in 1962. Even if President Kennedy would come to Kansas and run for governor, I am still a candidate for governor. I am of the opinion that I can defeat Gov. 'junior' Anderson or any other Republican that might run for governor." HE TOLD THE Young Democrats that they must not be too overconfident about 1962 'just because of the Democratic victories we had throughout the country this year. Yeah we got the Republicans backed into a corner, but they'll fight that much harder to get out.' "We must have teamwork, like the Jayhawk football team which is led by a great coach, Jack Mitchell. We've got to have great heart like the Jayhawks — to be one for all and all for one—and we will win." In closing, Mr. Hart urged the Young Democrats to help he Democratic party. "YOU JUST GO out and preach the principles of the Democratic Party to every Kansas citizen. Point out the good state governments we've had under Democratic administrations. I'm confident that if we all put our shoulders to the wheel and push together, we will win. But don't be a defeatist, and don't be a Democratic traitor just because your candidate doesn't win a Democratic primary. "We Democrats have to be on our toes and not back off one inch but stay in there and keep punching for the Democratic party." Local NAACP to Hold Event Friday Proceeds from the banquet will be used for such NAACP activities as support of court costs in legal actions against the group, and aiding Negro students who have been forced out of Kansas City schools by segregation problems. Featured speaker at the banquet will be Leonard H. Carter, field secretary for Region four of the NAACP. Region four includes the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Arkansas, and Nebraska. Tickets are $2.50 each and may be purchased from Jesse Milen, VI 3-5715.
