Party Politics Outlined By Princeton Professor
Active participation and regular attendance at party meetings over a period of time long enough to be recognized by party men is the way to remain in politics, Prof. Stephen Bailey, director of the graduate program at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, said Wednesday evening in the Student Union.
Prof. Bailey said he knew of many cases where people hung around the party and did nothing. In Connecticut, party members have grabbed volunteers into headquarters, he said, and cited the case of one man who did no more than attend a political meeting once a month and who eventually found himself lieutenant-governor of his state.
Political Emphasis Week continues today with a luncheon of the Human Relations Staff Seminar at noon, a banquet in honor of the visiting speakers at 6 p.m., and a panel discussion on "Issues of the Coming Campaign," at 7 p.m. All students and faculty members are invited to attend the meetings.
Prof. Bailey said a decent partisan must face storms. He said a person sometimes may have to hold his nose, and that too many people look in once and back out.
A question and answer period followed Mr. Bailey's speech, "Politics as a Hobby." Asked whether television, radio, and newspaper reports dignified the smearing of candidates, he answered that public opinion now is not what it seemed to be in the 19th century, Public opinion can be manipulated, he said, and communication has made it easier both to expose and to cover frauds.
Tug-Of-War Set Again
Last week the lawyers challenged the engineers to a rematch of the tug-of-war recently fought at Potter Lake.
Today the engineers answered the challenge with this letter:
"Gentlemen?
Having read with considerable relish your plea for rematch, we welcome once again the opportunity to dampen both the enthusiasm and dignity of the refugees from Jim Green's school for retarded children. Field as many of your brave men and true as are left following the utter defeat you suffered at our hands March 15, and we shall match you man for man (more than 18 please).
Now that you've carefully protected your beloved "Uncle Jimmy" beneath many coats of shellac and grease, there's no other way left for us to entertain ourselves. So come on out and let us give you another shellacking so that you and Jimmy will have something in common aside from the lead between the ears.
The Engineering Council Bill Franklin, President.
KU Police Have Latest Thing In Speed Traps
The KU traffic and security department gave its new, $445 speed timing device a debut Wednesday, Chief Joe Skillman reported. All heavy-footed motorists are advised to get light-footed to the tune of 20 mph because the timer is operated by themselves and not by a traffic officer.
Campus CCUN Mock Assembly Set For Friday
Registration will begin at 10 a.m. Friday in the Student Union lobby. The first session will be at 1 p.m. in Green Hall Theater. The Assembly will discuss "Colonialism" in such countries as French Morocco, Algeria, and Puerto Rico.
Disarmament and colonialism will be debated at the model United Nations General Assembly at the University Friday and Saturday. Sponsors are the Collegiate Council for the U. N.
Delegates to the Assembly will be from colleges in Kansas and Missouri. Each school's group will represent a country.
Frans Taelemans, acting consul of Belgium, will be guest speaker at an international banquet at 6 p.m. Friday in Room 306 Student Union. He will speak on the contribution of a small country to international affairs as a member of the U.N.
"Control of Atomic Weapons and Disarmament" will be taken up at the second session at 9 a.m. Saturday. An open session will be held at 1:30 p.m.
A luncheon will be held at 12 p.m. noon on Saturday in the Student Union Oread Room. Anyone interested may attend any of the sessions. Reservations for the banquet and the luncheon may be made between 10 a.m. and 12 noon Friday at the information booth in the Student Union.
Weather
Wheels of a car passing over two cables 66 feet apart starts and stops the electrically operated stop watch. The traffic officer will be waiting 300 feet down the road for those who make the 66 feet in less than 2.25 seconds. The silver colored timer weighs 75 pounds and it can be operated by one man.
Increasing cloudiness this afternoon and tonight. Mostly cloudy Friday. Some brief light rain east tonight and in west and south central Friday. Turning cooler west and north this afternoon. Warmer extreme southeast. Cooler north central tonight and in east Friday. Low tonight 30s north and west. High Friday in 50s.
For offenders, the fine will be $1 per mph for the first ten mph over the speed limit and $2 for each mph from there up. Chief Skillman remembers seeing one speeder going 85 mph one night on Jayhawk Blvd. The speedster missed the curve near the Rock Chalk cafe and crashed into another car.
Senior Gets Fulbright To Study Mathematics
Chief Skillman said he expects "tremendous" success from the timer. The psychological effect, more than anything else, he feels, will slow down motorists. "Any intelligent student will realize the fairness of the timer," he said. "The human element is completely eliminated, reducing the officer to just an observer." When an officer operates the clock manually, a margin of error is possible and this is what the public doesn't like, the chief said. Offenders will be shown indisputable evidence their driving leaves on the clock, he said.
Robert LeRoy Ferguson, Erie senior, will study mathematics at the University of Paris, France, next year under a Fulbright foreign study scholarship.
Ferguson's is one of approximately 1,000 grants for graduate study abroad which are financed by foreign currencies and credits realized from sale of war surplus properties.
