Student Orators Give Speech And Programs
By WILLIAM E. STANFILL
Student speakers from KU will go practically anywhere, anytime, to speak on practically any subject. Charge for the service? Seven cents a mile for the groups' transportation expenses.
The demand for students to speak on various occasions here and in neighboring towns was responsible for the forming of the new University speakers bureau, sponsored by the department of speech and drama. The bureau is directed by E. C. Buehler, professor of speech.
The bureau is composed of a panel of 25 students who are trained and experienced in public speaking. These students are varity debaters, graduate and foreign students, forensic experts, and campus orators.
Among the more serious topics the speakers will discuss are our foreign policy in Asia, wage and price control measures, and flood control in the Missouri valley. In the lighter vein, variety programs by two to four speakers will be conducted.
The primary purposes of the bureau debate teams is to inform, entertain, and to stimulate thought on current issues. Speakers will be provided for programs by civic
clubs, lodges, high schools, study groups, banquets, and churches.
All of the programs are designed to meet time limits and individual needs of the groups desiring the services of the bureau. The programs are conducted by faculty members serving as master of ceremonies and the speakers are checked and supervised by members of the speech and drama department faculty.
After 5 Months, Debaters Find They Have Same 'Boss'
Kenneth Sulston, graduate student, from Kansas City, Kan., and Heywood Davis, college senior, from Kansas City, Mo., had known each other all fall. But they became better acquainted when named to represent the University at an international debate Feb. 19, against two Australian speakers. $ \textcircled{4} $
Davis casually mentioned that his father was in radio. Sulston, who divides his time between professional radio work and school, pricked up his ears. "What station is he with?"
"Dad is with WHB in Kansas City," was the reply. (Don Davis, president of WHB).
March Of Dimes Goes Over Quota
The March of Dimes drive at the University has passed its $500 quota, M. C. Slough, chairman of the drive, said today.
In all $507.50 has been collected mostly in large donations from faculty and staff members. This year students have not been solicited because of the Campus Chest drive, designed to avoid other solicitations.
There was one $40 and several $25 donations, Professor Slough said. The smallest contribution was 50 cents "Most of the money came in dollar bills and $5 checks," he said
Another $192 was added at the B team basketball game between KU and K-State last Friday. It was a regularly scheduled game with the proceeds going to the March of Dimes campaign.
Although the drive closes officially tomorrow, donations mailed to Professor Slough, 204 Green hall, will be accepted until the end of the month.
"He's my boss," said the surprised Sulston, who is known to the radio audience as Ken Hartley, WHB newscaster.
Sulston had known his employer had a son at KU. Likewise Davis had listened many times to Ken Hartley. But neither had identified the other during a semester of forensic work.
The pair will argue with the Australians on "Resolved, that this house prefers Groucho to Karl"—the reference being to the newspaper Groucho Marx. Marx and of Karl Marx, author of the Communist Manifesto.
Their opponents will be Robin Millhouse, University of Adelaide, and John Boyd Reid, Melbourne university. They were selected from participants in a debating festival of the University of Australian university students.
KU provides one of the 32 debates the visitors will have in this country.
