Morgenthau Hits Rocky On Presidential Issue
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Robert M. Morgenthau is coming down to the wire in New York's governor's race with an incessant attack on Nelson A. Rockefeller's ambition to be President.
Given by most only an outside chance of ousting Rockefeller, the 43-year-old Democratic nominee is campaigning as if victory were definitely in sight. One of his electioneering buttons reads;
"TRUMAN DID it in '48, Bob will do it in '62."
Morgenthau's main disadvantage is that he was virtually unknown last September when he received the nomination. Even today he could walk through Times Square and go unrecognized by most people. "Rocky," on the other hand, has become a celebrity, although he campaigns as if he were in dire political danger.
"GOVERNOR Rockefeller's overwhelming interest is running against the President of the United States, President Kennedy," Morgenthau told a Bronx sidewalk crowd this week.
Morgenthau has found his most effective campaign weapon to be demanding whether Rockefeller will serve his term if elected.
"And I, for one, am satisfied with the present President," he added.
Morgenthau says Rockefeller has shown "complete arrogance." He solicits the votes of the people of Houston, Chicago and Des Moines and doesn't want to be tied down to New York, the Democratic candidate charges.
"The governor has been on the job one day out of seven," Morgenthau savs.
Morgenthau also hits Rockefeller's refusal to meet him in a series of television debates. The fact is that Rockefeller's strategy does seem to include there is no such person as Robert M. Morgenthau.
THE DEMOCRATIC candidate is naturally a reserved, almost shy man. But these last weeks he has forced himself to meet people and now he is doing it gracefully and with apparent enthusiasm, if not pleasure.
The New York gubernatorial contest is a perfect example of the pros and cons of whether President Kennedy's performance in the Cuban crisis will rub off on Democratic candidates.
Kennedy's decision certainly removed a GOP campaign weapon but it also removed him from active campaigning.
The President was to have brought Morgenthau's campaign to a final push with an appearance in the city tonight, but his moratorium on electioneering cancelled a plus the Democrats had been counting on.
Historical periods have been assigned to living groups which will compete in the 1963 Rock Chalk Review, "Historical Hysteria."
Review Groups Get Assignments
Pairs of groups submitted their ideas to the Rock Chalk committee last week. The periods were then assigned on a first come, first serve basis.
Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Phi Epsilon were assigned the period of Quantrill's Raid; Templin and Lewis, prohibition; Phi Kappa Psi and Delta Gamma, the pigrims; Hashinger and Carruth O'Leary, Tombstone, Ariz. in the 1800's; Alpha Tau Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta, the American Revolution.
Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Nu, Louis the 14th; Pi Beta Phi and Beta Theta Pi, Marco Polo's voyage; Delta Upsilon and Phi Gamma Delta, the period of the barbaric tribes in the 1440's and Sigma Chi and Chi Omega, the caveman.
ST. LOUIS — (UPI) — Undertaker Paul Fey Jr., who operates an ambulance service, has delivered 20 babies in 15 years. In all the cases, mothers telephoned Fey too late for hospital arrival.
Skits written for the review will be based on the period assigned. Titles of the skits will be announced Nov. 18.
Emergencies Routine to Him
Philosopher To Speak At Humanities Lecture
A philosopher interested in the role of science in modern civilization will give the year's third KU Humanities Lecture.
Friday. Nov. 2, 1962
Entitled "Analysis and Insight," the talk will concern the analytical method used by some modern philosophers to answer questions about science.
Errol Harris, holder of the first Roy A. Roberts Distinguished Professorship at KU, will speak at 8 p.m. Nov. 16 in the University Theatre.
PROF. HARRIES WILL CONSIDER similar questions in a 2-vvolume work he hopes to publish while holding the Roberts Professorship.
Roy Roberts, president of the Kansas City Star Co., gave $200,000 to the University in 1958. Income from the grant is to supplement the salaries of two professors, one in the humanities and one in science and mathematics. Prof. Harris was named the first of these.
Mr. and Mrs. Roberts plan to attend the lecture.
Prof. Harris is a native of South Africa. Author of several books and other publications, he was a professor of philosophy at Connecticut College.
HE GAVE the Terry Lectures at Yale in 1957. The lectures, concerning the compatibility of science and religion, later were published as a book, "Revelation Through Reason."
Africa Featured In Exhibit Here
A new exhibition, "AFRICA FACES AND FIGURES," will open Sunday at the KU Museum of Art. Besides sculpture, masks, weapons, furniture and implements, the exhibit will include a collection of photographs entitled "Faces of the Congo."
The exhibition will be open until November 25. The public is invited to a reception from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday at the museum.
THE ART OF AFRICA is as diverse as the cultures of its peoples. Moreover, the intermingling of art styles is common, as trade has always been an important feature of African culture. A brisk trade prevailed on the decorative arts level, but sculpture and masks usually had ritualistic significance and were kept within the community which produced them. The decorative arts were, however, sufficient to carry the stylistic traditions, and sculptural representation was indirectly influenced.
Despite the diversity of styles, there are certain characteristics common to most African sculpture. The human figure is almost universally used as subject matter, with animals probably the second most common representations. The human figures are usually small and carved in the round from wood, the favorite material.
IN HIS BOOK, "The Sculpture of Negro Africa," Paul Wingert suggests that the forms of African sculpture result from two factors of almost equal importance: the sculptural tradition of the artist's area, tribe or village, and the artist's powers of perception of the life around him.
However, the African sculptor is not merely an imitator of nature. His concern with sculptural expression is apparent in the distortion or simplification of his representations.
