Cuban Crisis Coverage "Unique" Says Reporter
"This is unprecedented, really, nobody was anywhere."
That was a statement made by a reporter for The Kansas City Star last night as he explained the press coverage during the recent Cuban crisis.
JOE LASTELIC, a member of the Star's Washington bureau, told members of Sigma Delta Chi, men's honorary journalism fraternity, that there were no war correspondents reporting during the crisis unlike former conflicts or rear-conflicts.
"Here was a whole war that went by." Lastelic said, "and it wasn't reported."

Chinese Art Humanistic
The Confucian idea that thought should be concentrated on man, forms the basis for the humanistic style in late Chinese art, a Chinese art expert said yesterday.
JAMES CAHILL, curator of Freeer Gallery at the Smithsonian Institute, said yesterday as far back as 200 B.C., the Chinese had developed a humanistic approach in their art with a moral basis.
This humanistic expression in the painting was shown in depictions of people in their environment, he said.
TAOISM TOOK over the thought of the people and their art about 200 A.D., and Chinese art then centered around nature and landscapes. Cahill said.
But about the 11th century, he said, expressionism began to come back.
Art became more of a reflection of the artist, Cahill said, and the intellectuals of the country also began to paint.
Cahill will give a slide-illustrated lecture at eight o'clock tonight in Fraser Theatre. The topic will be "The Contemporary Relevance of Chinese Painting."
Postal Window Added for Future
A third service window has been added to the campus post office in Strong Hall this year along with a new floor.
"We assume we'll need the third window someday if the enrollment grows like experts tell us it will," Murry Smith station superintendent said. "Chancellor Wescoe told us this was our last chance for more space in this building, and to get it now or never, even though we don't need it at the present time.
"I don't think anything has been done to this office for 20 years," Smith said. However, he said the campus post office does not do as much business as many people seem to think.
"We do most of our business at the windows," he said, "receiving mail, most of which is hauled downtown by truck." Four times a day and twice on Saturdays the mail leaves Strong Hall and goes to the Lawrence post office.
"None of the mail goes directly from KU to cross-country trucks or trains." Smith said.
The KU post office has only two carriers, he said. One of them carries the University business route in the buildings, and the other handles the campus east of Bailey Hall and some residences.
Auto Wrecking and Junk

"MOST MILITARY MOUTHS were closed," Lastelic said.
New and Used Parts and Tires
"What story we did miss, or didn't miss, I don't know." Lastelic said.
"The big question arises, how can you believe what Arthur Sylvester, assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, said that week. The only people who know what was going on were in the Security Council or Secretary of State Dean Rusk.

Lastestic covered Lyndon Johnson's campaign for vice-president in 1960.
"I WAS PROBABLY 'spoon-fed' with those stories—don't like to admit it. That's not the way I cover a story."

An international expert on church architecture said this week that Americans have shared the architectural sins of the Germans.
U.S. is 'Sinner' In Design Also
Speaking on "Prophetic Builders," Edward Sovik explained that the sins which the Germans have committed in their prophetic architecture are also included in American architecture.
SOVIK, who received his architectural degree from Yale University, differentiated between what is called prophetic and ceremonial architecture.
"The prophetic churches do not deny the ceremonial, but they insist on the absolute value of truth; righteousness instead of prettiness, duty instead of delight, vigor instead of charm, nobility instead of elegance." Sovik said.
HE SAID that it would be correct to say "All churches which follow the historical styles are ceremonial, but it does not follow that all the modern churches are prophetic."

"Madonna" Statue Returns to KU
Tilman Riemenschneider's "Madonna and Child" will be packed in a crate and flank back to KU from North Carolina next week.
The 16th century masterpiece has been on display with other works of the Italian sculptor from various parts of the world in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh since Oct. 6.
THE KU STATUE WAS displayed among works from the Louvre in Paris and the Germanisches National Museum in Nuremberg, Germany.
Marilyn Stokstad, associate professor of art history and director of the KU Art Museum, said approximately two-thirds of the works were shipped from Europe.
