AUFS Visitor Mid-East Expert
A varied selection of topics will feature the 8-day stay of E. A. Bayne, American Universities Field Staff representative, here next week.
Mr. Bayne will lecture on Iran Italy, Israel, Nationalist China and Somalia in university classes and forums.
A member of AUFS since 1953. Mr. Bayne has served as economic adviser to Nationalist China from 1945-48 and economic adviser to Iran in the early fifties. He lives in Florence, Italy, and spends his time in the Middle East observing and writing about the situation. Mr. Bayne has worked with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development for the Middle East and Africa.
Mr. Bayne describes the Iranian people as split between devotion to the Shah and a desire to be politically independent.
This conflict is the critical problem in Iran. The society expects a strong leader and a liberal democracy at the same time.
"The Shah must be at the same time a progressive social reform leader and a medieval monarch," Mr. Bayne said.
Mr. Bayne will talk about Iran at the Current Events Forum Nov. 17 with Burton Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, on "Prospects for Iran." Tuesday, he will speak at the Faculty Forum on "American Policy in Iran," and Wednesday evening he will speak to the History Club on "Chiang Kaishek: Personal Reminiscences."
Lutheran Banquet Sunday
The Lutheran Student Association will hold its annual International Banquet at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the Trinity Lutheran Church, 13th and Massachusetts.
Foreign students will be guests at the banquet.
Oswald Backus, professor of history will speak on "Clues to Understanding American Society."
KU Won't Participate In 'Strike for Peace'
KU apparently will not take part in the "strike for peace" called for today and tomorrow by the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy at Brandeis University.
The committee had asked students at all United States colleges and universities to hold a public meeting, vigil, or march to protest the testing of nuclear weapons.
Two KU students usually associated with liberal movements said they had heard of no plans for KU's participation in the "strike for peace."
"I think it would be a real good idea," one student said, "but I'm afraid it's a little too radical for most KU students to accept."
The Brandeis University committee sponsored a "strike for peace" Nov. 1, urging faculty members and students to protest nuclear testing by refraining from attending classes. Students at Brandeis, Harvard, and several other colleges participated.
Show Case Features Unusual Production
The University Theatre's Experimental Show Case at 4 p.m. today will feature excerpts from two plays by George Bernard Shaw and a mobile audience.
The ground level, stairs and balcony of the University Theatre foyer will be used for the experimental presentation of scenes from "Devil's Disciple" and "Caesar and Cleopatra."
