Dave Courtwright, Prairie Village sophomore and editor of the Chronic Daily, said that to me his work is a reflection of the philosophy of the Ackergards.

Law Alumnus Wins Award For Research
George B, Caples, 1948 alumnus of the KU Law School, has won the 1921 $1000 Award of recognition for his prevention. The award was given by the National Safety Council for the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Cape, who now a manager of personal safety products for the M Company in St. Paul, Minn. won with his paper "The Price of Making," an analysis of traffic accidents in the United States.
He added that the Aardvark position was that apathy was the governing force on campus and should be respected as such.
Courtwright said the Chronic Daily was last year's Apathetic Daily, and he is not in doubt Wednesday, the one satirized the Oreadaily DAY, ROTC. The Kansan, the Student Senate. The Student Front. Vern Miller and jocks.
"The paper is a daily in the sense that the Oread Daily is," according to it, "courtwright. It, it comes out now and again."
Courtwright would not divulge other staff members's names.
"There are other writers, but we don't use by-lines," he said. "There is no reason to give them now."
He explained that last year, the gray flannel Aerardvark, one of the distributors of the Apathetic Daily, was picked off the ground by an athlete who misruffled his parent's intention. This incident mark of the reason why anonymity of staff members is observed.
The format of the paper is one of being a spoof on the Oread Daily, as was the Apathetic Daily last year.
At the present time, the Chronic Daily is the only Aardvark paper on campus. The Aardvark does not open, however, that the Apathetic Daily might return in conjunction with the Chronic Daily.
Prof Says Education To Wake South Africa
The silent majority in South Africa are at least in American thesilent majority to vote. Francis Awogu acting assistant professor of African studies.
Awogn was guest speaker at the Faculty Forum luncheon on the Westminster Center.
Awogu discussed the plight of the black man in South Africa's apartheid government and said that through education of the black man, he awakened of the black man as to his rights as a human being.
Awoga explained the political distractions of Rhodesia and the Irish Free State. She said political pressures forced upon political pressures on minority to remain supreme.
"South Africa's issues are issues longer domestic. Human rights cannot be trampled," said Awoga.
Awaga concluded his lecture by asking the rhetorical question, "How can majority rule be successful in South Africa without political force?"
"Man in the Wilderness, a new Warner Bros. release, will open in the theaters around the country at Thanksgiving time, when she plays Varsity downstairs. The director, Richard C. Sarafian, began a nationwide public tour earlier this week with a 24-hour stop in Kansas City—just long enough to give eight interviews to the press.
By BARBARA SCHMIDT Kansan Review Edition
Sarafian seemed oddly out of place as he hurried into the elegant "steak-is our-specialty!" Picardy Room at the Hotel Sotheby's, with its Hackett body garbed in a huge brown polo shirt and a plain black suit, he resembled a truck driver on his day off more than a director about to witness the film of his most important film.
Over a dinner of tossed salad and beer, he quickly launched into a description of his new movie:
"It's a Western that tries to be Western, but we tried to use nature to give feeling of reality—the rain, heat, snow that came along as we were coming."
"Richard Harris stars as a frontier fur trapper who has stolen the secrets of his deserted by other trappers and after being mangled by a grizzly
Director Relying on New Film
John Huston also stars in the film as the leader of a fur trapping expedition. How did it feel to direct Huston?
"I WAS SCARED at first," Sarafian admitted with a grin, "but as soon as I met him he set me at ease. At this point in my life I am wrong for me to be directing such a great director as Huston."
The 40-year Sarafian never had a "burning ambition" to work in film. What first aroused his interest?
"I fear I was a pre-med student for five years. It took a film course—you know, one of those movies I read about through—for me to get my first A. I found it was something I liked. And the most enjoyable I enjoy doing, he explained.
Sarafian started his career by making industrial documentaries for TV and went on to TV where he directed 140 hours of adventures, "ventures and "doctor" stories.

stages for construction. These
intersections are 15th, 19th and

Fifteenth Street was widened west from Iowa and a median lane street. Construction was begun Tuesday to make it four miles wider than the hill, according to Arnold Wiley. Lawrence Street stretched northwest.
Wiley said traffic signals would be installed at the corner of 19th and low in the near future but he was not sure of the exact date. The study has been studied by the Lawrence Traffic Safety Department.
Plans are being formulated for a project which would extend Iowa Street south of the 23rd street intersection, making it four lanes for about six miles to the east. The project will be started in the early spring, according to Dale Dugan, State Highway Department.
Richard F. Johnston was recently elected representative from the Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE) to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAS). Balloting for Johnston is by mail and Johnston was informed of the results in October.
Prof Is Society Delegate
Johnson, a professor of systematics and ecology and a curator of the Museum of Natural History, would involve attending committee meetings at AAAS conferences and otherwise representing the society.
"The University of Kansas is one of the centers of evolutionary
study in the world," Johnston said. People and evolutionary studies are done here. There are about two dozen SSE members and also evolution and the sociology of journal publications here. Johnson said that there was also an informal group of persons who worked with both discuss and study evolution
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP)—The opening of a new movie theater was postponed when it was discovered that the seats from many seats were obstructed because of the theater's design.
GIVE THE NATION
BACK TO ITS PEOPLE
"I hated it at the time . . . I thought it was a big cop-out. But TV does give you a chance to work with your craft," he said. "I felt it was great, but myself compromising a little bit more than I otherwise would have. The pressure is too much to do anything really good . . . something that was outstanding had to happen by accident."
John W. Gardner, Chairman Common Cause
Former Secretary of
health, Education and Welfare
Who said citizen action is futile? Populism in the nineteenth century left an indebtible mark on the nation. Citizen action won the vote for women in the 1830s and led labor, labor movement, the civil rights movement, the peace movement, the conservation movement — all began with concerned citizens. If we had waited for the government or Congress or the parties to initiate any of them, we'd still be waiting. Try to think of a significant movement in our national life that was the bureaucracy. Or by Congress. Or by the parties.
For a while, we lost confidence in our capacity to act as citizens, but the citizen is getting back to his feet. And citizen action is taking on a tough minded professional edge it never had before. Never has our society needed more desperately the life-giving spark of citizen action. We must make our instruc-tion and government work. We must halt the abuse of the public interest by self-seeking special interests.
The special interests buy favor through campaign money. What flows back is internal defense contracts, dollar bills, and military defense contracts, in favored treatment of certain regulated industries, in tolerances of monopolistic practices. And the tax burden is substantial.
To accomplish this, each citizen must become an activist, especially the college student with his own headache and make his voice heard. Common Cause, a national organization was created to accomplish just that. It hoped to enroll 100,000 members in its first year, and got that goal accomplished. On its first anniversary, it had 200,000 members.
In 1965 he made his first feature motion picture, "Andy."
LEANING BACK IN his chair,
Sarafian took a sip of beer and
said, "That one kept me from
directing for three years."
To tear away the veil of secrecy, we must enlist "freedom of information" or "right to know" statutes which require that the public business be done publically. This is not a command of our instruments of self-government.
To combat the corrupting power of money, we must control campaign spending and lobbying, and require full disclosure of conflict of interest on the part of public officials.
"Right now I'm depending on 'Man in the Wilderness,'" he said. "If it goes over well, I can count on getting jobs. If not
To combat such pervasive corruption, we must strike at the two instruments of corruption in public

John Huston has asked me to act in a movie he's going about to release. It is an example for other actors to follow," he said with a wink, as he was smiling. "It's important for a director to become familiar with all aspects of the story."
When asked who his favorite directors were, Sarafan stared in a candle fire on the dimly lit backdrop of his name named John Ford. Alfred Hitchcock, "early" Elia Kagan and Jacob Kahn, "imperable" an "impeachable" film

maker" in terms of content and the adult themes he works with.
Sarafian sees new films only three or four times a year, "right before the Academy Awards just to see what they're voting on."
"MOST OF THE SHOWS I see on the marqueses are X.X.X. I have children to a movie—something haven't been able to do in a long time. Movies need to haveaintnails. I can still have adult themes."
"A moral awakening is going on now. Exposing our children to a continuous diet of violence is becoming oppressive," he said. His remarks such attempts at censorship as the current ratings system?
"I don't believe in censorship in all," he said. "The real responsibility is to direct the film makers. We should force the public what they want, and in an individual thing, anyway. For the freaks who want to see those movies."
"I look on (the Academy) as a joke. I don't know what's going to happen and I never get involved and kind of of a crap game," he scuffed
Sarafian seemed especially pleased with the current trends of simplicity and reality in filmmaking.
"WE'RE GETTING AWAY from a lot of the tricks, the pinnies. We're getting back to form of shooting," he said, "and form of shooting."
we're finding that the simple shot is everything."
Before downing the last of his beer, Sarafan said that he thought filmmakers were finally ready to give back to the visual qualities inherent in film, that they are just now realizing that 'audiences don't need to hear the actors talk and look,' they want to go see 'picture'

Furthermore, he regards location work as a great boon: involvement away from a studio distractions. It forces you into honest, rather than elaborate, settings and enlist the local faces," he said.
