'The Standard' Will Be Distributed Tomorrow
An old student magazine with a new aim will be available on campus Friday.
The Standard, a publication advocating individual freedom, will be distributed at the information booth, Dave Jackman, Wichita sophomore and editor, said.
"More and more these days, universities are becoming, not the basitions of free thought and rational inquiry, but a place where dogma, irrationalism and orthodoxy reign," he added.
"I would like to see a reawakening of interest in the truth or falsity of ideas themselves, rather than a judgment according to the 'public image' of their advocates," he said.
The magazine, which was formerly affiliated with the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), has shed all political ties. Its aim is to rise above partisan politics to appeal to the individual's sense of liberty and freedom of choice. Jackman explained.
Jackman said The Standard would advocate and discuss the capitalist free-enterprise system.
"The magazine could never become what it is today with the backing of a political organization," Jackman said.
He said the staff had obtained material from the Freedom School in Colorado Springs, Colo., and from the Foundation for Economic Education in Irvington-on-the-Hudson, N. Y.
A debate entitled "Are Labor Unions Necessary in a Free Society" is the only local element in the magazine. The debate is written by Marick Payton, former editor of The Standard and by Ken Ciboski, Goodland graduate student.
Approximately 4,000 copies of the publication will be distributed on the campuses of KU, Kansas State University, Ottawa University, and Ft. Hays State College, Jackman said.
The magazine is compiled by staff members and printed locally. Staff members are Jackmann, Gerald Sullins, Lawrence senior and business manager, and Thomas McGivern, Highland Park, Ill., sophomore and circulation manager.
Publication advisers are Wint Smith, former Congressman from Mankato, and Dwight Payton, editor of the Ellsworth Messenger.

IBM Announces Computer Buying
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Spokesmen for International Business Machines say scientific inventory management — a computer method of determining when to buy an item and how much to buy — will be employed by a number of grocery chains by 1965 to handle all their warehouse buying automatically.
By 1970, IBM said, computer controlled warehouse buying by grocery chains will be "common place."
Satellite to Study Radiation
Bring it Back you Rascal you!
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Civilian Space Agency plans to launch an Explorer satellite from Cape Canaveral tomorrow to study the artificial radiation belt created by the July 9 high altitude H-bomb explosion in the Pacific.
The satellite, to be called Explorer 14 if successful, will study the location, composition, and rate of decay of the belt, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said.
belt, the Van Allen belt, but the intensity of the artificial radiation turned out to be much greater than expected.
The belt was created by the 14-megaton explosion set off 250 miles high over Johnston Island. It was predicted beforehand that the test would temporarily increase the electron density of the natural radiation
The agency wants to find out the extent of the belt, and what effect it might have on spacecraft and astronauts encountering it.
The belt begins about 100 miles above the earth and may extend out to perhaps 10,000 miles, the agency said. The satellite will make an oval orbit from 170 miles high to 10,360 miles high every five hours.
The space agency said the lower levels of the belt did not contain sufficient radiation to damage spacecraft.
