KU Professor to Discuss Two Philosophies of Man
Richard T. DeGeorge, associate professor of philosophy, will contrast and analyze Soviet and existentialist concepts of man here tonight.
Prof. DeGeorge, the 16th KU faculty member to speak in the Humanities Series since 1948, will speak at 8 p.m. in Fraser Theater.
The lecture will be based in part on his experiences in France, 1952-53, and in Belgium, 1954-55, where he was able to view existentialism as a practiced philosophy, he said.
Prof. DeGeorge said he would attempt to derive from the two concepts of man another concept more sufficient for ethical and political purposes. He finds problems with both concepts, he said.

In France, he found people who lived existentialism from day to day, he said. He also found existentialistic ideas in their theater, literature and novels, Prof. DeGeorge said.
A CONCEPT OF man must be formulated before politics can be structured and a correct basis of ethics can be determined, Prof. De-George said.
Last May, Prof. DeGeorge spent a month in the Soviet Union doing research and talking to people.
PROF. DeGEORGE has talked with two of the Soviets he plans to discuss.
Prof. DeGeorge will also discuss Jean-Paul Sartre, an existentialist
He has published several articles on Soviet philosophy. He attended the Institute of East European Studies in Fribourg, Switzerland last year.
He earned his B.A. degree at Fordham; M.A. and Ph.D. at Yale, and a Ph.D. at the University of Louvain in Belgium. He joined the KU faculty in 1959 as an assistant professor.
Prof. DeGeorge is the author of two books, "Classical and Contemporary Metaphysics: A Source Book" and "Soltitude and Communism."
He is currently doing research on Soviet thought and ethics for a later publication.

is it me...or Jack Winter!
It's you, princess, when you have the Jack Winter look. But whoa...take a minute to learn about the subject of stretch. Because once you put yourself in Jack Winter stretch pants, you are going to get the eye test. Be darn sure you can pass. Questions. Should you wear stretch pants? What kind of figure does it take? Most all figures are flattered by stretch, whether angular, triangular, or a figure eight. Even if you have an hourglass figure where all the sand has sunk to the bottom,
stretch pants can do quick subtracting. You won't need a grease job to slip in, but there's no sag, bag or bind either. Jack Winter cuts 'em just right...lean and ladylike...proportioned in your proper leg-length. So it's you and Jack Winter getting all those straight-on, slant-eyed, turn-about-face looks. You and Jack Winter causing that campus stir.

Equal Tax Distribution Needed To Keep Brainpower—Wescoe
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, speaking at the Midwestern Governor's Conference recently in Omaha, charged that federal taxes allocated to research in universities on the East and West Coast have been used to hire away Midwestern educators and research industries.
The chancellor called for the maintenance of at least one excellent university in each state to insure an equitable distribution of federal funds.
In the Midwest, because of traditional and financial support, state universities are best equipped to maintain standards of excellence, Chancellor Wescoe said.
"We cannot afford to export our taxes, our capital, or our finest young people as we have in the past," the
chancellor said.
"If the Midwest continues this transfusion of its vital fluids to the rest of the nation," he continued, "the time will come when it will be too weak to get out of the bed of the past."
Colleges are important to the network of educational institutions, Chancellor Wescoe said, but they should not try to assume the complexities of universities in attempting to meet the increasing demand for higher education.
"A university is complex," the chancellor said, "and we cannot afford many of them.
"Additional campuses which rival those already established can only duplicate at considerable cost central facilities available elsewhere."
Will you be able to give me all the things I crave — like pizza pie and chow mein?
1. Now that I'm a senior I have to start thinking about my future. Will you marry me?
3. Equitable – it's Equitable.
It certainly is. It's also
fair, square, and just.
But I would still like to know
the name of the company.
I agree—but what's the company's name?
2. I've lined up a terrific job. There's a choice of training programs, good starting salary, challenging work, and the chance to move up. That's Equitable.
4. We're not communicating. I keep telling you it's Equitable—and you keep asking what's the name.
I keep agreeing your job sounds good. But you stubbornly refuse to tell me who you're going to work for
5. Can it be you never listen to my words? Is it possible that what I thought was a real relationship was but a romantic fantasy?
Is it conceivable that what I took to be a solid foundation was just a house of cards? That what I thought was a bright flame was merely an emotional flicker?
6. I'd hate to lose you, but at least I'll still have my job with Equitable—The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States.
Oh, *The Equitable*.
Why didn't you say so?
We'll have a June wedding.
