Large Debate Squad Set for Busy Season
A full schedule of debate has been planned for one of the largest KU debate squads in recent years.
Special Election For ASC Vacancy
Chester Lewis, FACTS party president, reminded students today of the special election to be held to fill the party vacancy from District 5 on the All Student Council. He will be held concurrently with
It will be held concurrently with the freshman primaries.
Any male student who is a member of FACTS may file a petition with the party's election committee by Thursday to run in the election. Shirley Thomson, education senior, is chairman of the committee.
Requirements to vote in a special election are the same as those for a primary. The voter must be registered with the party, Lewis said.
Marc Hurt. college sophomore, has been filling the vacancy by appointment.
Paul G. Roofe, chairman of the anatomy department, will present his recommendations for changes in the curriculum of the School of Medicine at a meeting of the curriculum committee at the Medical center Tuesday.
Changes in Medical School Curriculum Recommended
The recommendations which Dr. Roofe will present are the result of a survey of the curricula of the major medical schools in the U.S. which he made this summer.
Although 12 varsity debaters were graduated last year, leaving only one senior varsity member on the team, a large number of new students have become squad members.
The first out of town debate is scheduled for Nov. 15 at Kansas State college. Eight to ten debaters will represent KU in the tournament.
Some outstanding debaters entering the squad from high school this year, according to Kim Giffin, debate coach, are:
Other debates are scheduled for Emporia State Teachers college, Nov. 22; Iowa university, Dec. 5; Southwestern college at Springfield and the University of Arkansas, Dec. 12, and Pittsburg State Teachers college, Jan. 16.
Don Hopkins, first at Missouri Valley Valley debate tournament; Marjorie Herd and Paul Cecil, second and fourth in state tournament respectively; Dorothy Meier, State Class B champion; David Miller, winner of highest speaking rate at William Christman student congress at Independence; Bob Skinner, winner of National Forensic league reelection; Margaret Smith and Edith Sorter, winners of Veterans of Foreign Wars speaking contests.
"Prospects for the squad are excellent," Prof. Giffin said, "but much depends upon the work of the freshmen and sophomores in inter-collegiate competition."
Debaters will participate in home events too. The debaters will appear before city civic organizations. Haskell institute, and public school throughout the year.
Ballet Theatre Comes In March
The University Concert course will present the Ballet theatre in Hoch auditorium on March 19.
The Ballet theatre is responsible for the rebirth of ballet in America, according to eastern critics. The organization began their operations at the Center theatre in Rockefeller Center in January 1940.
Since its organization in 1940 the group has crossed the United States nine times, appeared in 43 states, and in 179 American and Canadian cities.
The Ballet theatre begins its 1952-1953 season from the Metropolitan Opera house in New York, with a three-week engagement. The tour planned by the company this year includes 92 American and Canadian cities.
This organization is the oldest American ballet company operating today. It makes full use of American choreographers, composers, and designers. However, they have a representative repertoire of established classical works as well as contemporary ones.
Included in their repertoire are such well-known works as "Swan Lake," "Giselle," "La Fille Mal Gardee," and "Les Sylphides."
Students will be admitted to the performance by showing their ID cards. Season tickets for the Concert course, which includes the Charles Wagner Opera company in "Carmen," the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra, Gina Bachauer, pianist, and Robert Rounseville, tenor, are on sale at the Fine Arts office.
Calves have 32 permanent teeth, the same number as humans.
Massachusetts Key State in Election
Boston — (U.P.)— Bitter fights for U.S. senator and governor will be watched as keenly as the presidential balloting in Massachusetts in the Nov. 4 election.
Lodge and Kennedy have waged a nip-and-tuck campaign battle, with the outcome very much in doubt. One independent voter said:
Republican Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's pre-convention campaign manager, faces stiff opposition for re-election against Democratic Rep. John F. Kennedy.
"It's a shame that we have to choose between two such fine men."
Their careers are similar in some respects. Both come from distinguished Massachusetts families, are Harvard-educated have brilliant World War II records and are global minded.
The 35-year-old Kennedy, son of a former U.S. ambassador to Britain, has been giving a series of teas throughout the state as part of his campaign strategy. These teas are sort of a family affair—where the voter meets the boyish-looking
Kennedy as well as his attractive sisters.
Both Lodge and Kennedy are top vote-getters in their party. In the Sept. 16 Democratic primary, Kennedy received more votes than Democratic Gov. Paul A. Dever.
Of interest in the election will be a comparison of votes received by Lodge and Eisenhower, the GOP presidential nominee. Lodge was among the first to boost the General for the presidency.
sisters. The handsome 50-year-old Lodge, a Boston "blue-blood," has stumped the state whitening away at Kennedy's record as a representative from the 11th congressional district. Lodge also aimed both barrels at the Truman administration.
Massachusetts is a doubtful state as far as the presidential vote is concerned. Supporters of both Eisenhower and Adalai E. Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nominee, are confident of capturing this state with its 15 electoral votes.
In 1948, Massachusetts went for President Truman over New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, then GOP presidential nominee, by 242,418 votes. A total of 2,155,347 votes cast
ballots in that election.
This year, total registration is expected to reach a record high of 2.600,000. State election officials noted that increasingly large numbers of women registered this year. The exact figures won't be known for a few days.
When Herter first entered the race, most political observers gave him but slight chance to beat Dever, a roly-poly Irishman with a gift for wit and oratory. But now, observers say, outcome of the contest is a toss-up.
The gubernatorial fight pits Gov. Dever, who was the Democratic National convention keynoter, against another Bostonian, Republican Rep. Christian A. Herter. The latter is vacating his 19th congressional seat.
