elections at the local college level this spring. "I think the mock conventions and elections will create a greater political consciousness on the part of college students," the Newton student said. "Traditionally, college students are apathetic. And, too, I think these mock affairs will expand participation among a larger group of people."
- Dickson also plans to start a drive in the spring for more clubs in the South.
- "This project has top priority in my administration," he said. "The Republican party will become the majority party in the next 10 years because of an increased strength in the South. And, I don't think this is because of racial prejudice."
- Dickson plans to organize a national opinion poll to be made at each college based on polls conducted at KU. He said the polls would concern the presidential race and key political issues.
DICKSON believes Victor Lasky's book, "The Man and the Myth," will convert college students to Republicans. He believes the book points out the "ruthless methods that power-hungry men can use.
AMES, Iowa—(UPI)—A professor snooped into his students' love life to find out what electronic brains know about romance.
Electronic Brain Plays Cupid Role
Sociology Prof. William Kenkel put automation to the test at an "IBM Mixer Dance" where an electronic brain picked the dancing partners.
Some of the Iowa State University students attending the dance liked what they got. Some didn't.
Kenkel said a preliminary check indicated "the students seemed very well satisfied."
Almost 1,000 students filled out questionnaires before the dance. The information was transferred to punched cards and fed into the computer.

Da Vinci Knew Acoustics. Time
A New York musicologist said last night the notes and drawings of Leonardo da Vinci reflect his great knowledge of music.
Prof. Emanuel Winternitz, musicologist and curator of musical collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, was speaking at the first of the 1963-64 series of humanities lectures.
IN HIS LECTURE, "Leonardo da Vinci as a Musician," he emphasized that the musical abilities of da Vinci have been largely overlooked by historians.
"Historians have had no particular interest in his musical talents," Prof. Wintermitz said.
"One reason why no one has studied Leonardo da Vinci as a musician is the fact that there is no music in existence today which was actually written by him. Evidence of his musical abilities is, in fact, hidden in his notes and drawings," Prof. Winteritz said.
He said da Vinci was a musician who used the style of improvisation which was common during his lifetime. Improvised music is not, as a rule, recorded on paper.
PROF. WINTERITZ, who showed many slides to the group, said the musical notations and diagrams of musical instruments appear in the notes and drawings of da Vinci.
"Da Vinci should be remembered as a musician because of his original research in acoustics, his development of new musical machines and instruments and his anticipation and diagramming of instruments which actually appeared after his era," Prof. Winternitz said.
Prof. Winternitz said da Vinci was concerned with the role of time in music and that this concern is reflected in his work.
The profes or showed several slides which depicted musical devices designed by da Vinci to overcome irregular tempo in music.
Prof. Winternitz has given two lectures at KU in addition to the humanities lecture last night.
