Relays Parade to Be Saturday
The track and field meet will begin Friday morning at nine o'clock and run through Saturday.
Saturday morning, Massachusetts street in downtown Lawrence will be lined with spectators (barring bad weather conditions) to watch the annual Relavs Parade.
For the first time in KU Relay Parade history, men and women will work together on the parade floats. The trend at KU this year has been toward men-women integrated campus projects. Judging of the float entries will take place during the parade.
The nine entries include:
Lambda Chi Alpha, Gamma Phi Beta; Phi Delta Theta, Kappa Alpha Theta; Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Kappa; Phi Kappa Psi, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Delta Chi, Alpha Chi Omega.
TOPEKA — (UPI) — Atty. Gen.
John Anderson Jr. filed today as a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor.
Anderson Files For GOP Race
Anderson announced his candidacy for the nomination in January. He is opposed by McDill (Huck) Boyd of Phillipsburg and W. H. Addington of Wichita.
Anderson paid a $165 filing fee to
Servy of State Paul R. Shanahan.
He said he soon will open a campaign headquarters in Topeka and will carry his campaign "into every county in the state."
After filing, Anderson released a copy of a letter he mailed today to Republican committeemen and committeewomen of Kansas.
"I have tried vigorously to enforce the law and administer my office for the benefit of all the citizens of Kansas, and I believe my efforts have met with the approval of a large majority of the people." he said.
"I believe my record is such that if given the party's nomination for governor, we can go before the people in November with a promise of restoring the positive, efficient and effective leadership which made possible our past achievements as a state."
Among the displayed items are paintings, wood and metal sculptures, furniture, ceramies and architectural drawings. There are drawings of a church, an airport, an art center and several other structures. A few primitive shelter scale models are displayed, as well as scale models of churches, metropolitan buildings and a service station.
Architecture Art Display in Union
The KU student chapter of the American Institute of Architecture is displaying examples of the arts of architecture in the lobby of the Kansas Union.
A bus shelter for the Marvin Hall area was the subject of 6 and 8-hour problems in a design class. Thirty entries are on display in the AIA exhibit. Each student designed a bus shelter, complete with floor plans and color drawings.
The purpose of the annual display is to show all the arts involved in architecture.
Joseph R. Pearson, Corbin Hall; Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Omicron Pi; and Sigma Chi and Gertrude Sellards Pearson freshman. Theme for the floats is "Sports Through the Ages."
Bands from the nearby high schools will also participate in the parade.
Parade to Be Televised
WIBW television station in Topeka has announced plans to televise the parade and parts of the Relays. The parade may be televised nationally.
Events at the KU Football Stadium begin at 9 a.m. Friday with the 100-meter decathlon races. Following a break for lunch, the Relys continue with the 120-yard hurdle high school finals.
Afternoon events at the stadium will begin at 1:30 with the college and university finals for the 120- yard hard hurdles.
Again at 9 a.m. Saturday the Relays gun will sound to start the 110-meter hurdles decathlon.
Track special attractions for the afternoon will include a 100-meter dash at 2 p.m., the Glenn Cunningham Memorial 1500-meter run at 2:30, a 440-yard-400-meter dash at 3:40, and a special shotput contest featuring former KU-man Bill Nieder at 2:30. Nieder broke the world's record in the shotput at the Texas Relays with a toss of 65-7 this year.
At 2:25 the 1960 Relays Queens will be presented. Elizabeth Riedell, Salina sophomore and a member of
Queens to Be Presented

Seniors Adopt Gift Proposals
- To cast in metal the seal of each school in the University and embed them in the walnut paneling of the Forum Room in the addition of the Kansas Union.
- A South Entrance marker to the campus on Naimish Road similar to the marker at the West edge of the campus on Memorial Drive.
- A life insurance program for each senior which would name the University as beneficiary at some later date.
Trophies to Be Given
The Senior Class Executive Board last night adopted four proposals for the class gift to the University. One of the four will be decided upon at the class coffee April 27.
John Rupt, Wichita senior, is student chairman of the exposition.
The four suggestions are:
- An electric scoreboard and team dugouts for Quigley Field.
"I think our suggestions are a little different from the past. Our proposals have covered both the tangible and intangible fields. All suggestions seem to be worthwhile."
Rick Barnes, Seneca senior and class president, said:
Dues Not Set
"This will give us around $2,500 to use in selecting a gift. The marker on Naismith Road would be something much nicer than that on Memorial Drive which cost only $300 and we have eight times that to spent."
The proposed insurance plan would have each senior purchase a $500 policy and his class dues would be the first premium payment. Hall said that after a designated number of years the University would become the beneficiary.
Ted Hall, Garden City senior and chairman of the gift committee said that the class dues would be $3.50 or $4.00 as in the past.
"The coffee Wednesday is the most important meeting the class has. We are expecting 70 to 80 per cent of the seniors to be there."
Barnes said that the executive committee also discussed plans for the class picnic, breakfast and agenda for the coffee.
"We hope to build enthusiasm for the gift and all coming functions at the coffee. It is a vital meeting as graduation procedure questions will be answered."
Will Send Letters
Hall said that a letter will be sent to all seniors before the class coffee which will be 10 a.m. to noon April 27 explaining the advantages and disadvantages of all the proposals.
Rebels Seize Garrison In Venezuelan Uprising
Venezuelan Army rebels today seized a military garrison in the southwestern provincial capital of San Cristobal Del Tachira while the government announced that two boatloads of troops from the Dominican Republic were off the coast.
United Press International dispatches reported fighting between loyal and insurgent troops at San Cristobol, about 500 miles southwest of Caracas on the southern edge of the rich Maracaibo oil fields.
Defense minister Gen. Josue Lopez Henriquez said that only the Bolívar garrison at San Cristobal was involved in the insurrection, and that the rest of the armed forces remained loyal to the government.
President Romulo Batancouri broadcast an ultimatum to the rebels to surrender or be bombed into submission.
President Makes Demand
After an emergency meeting with his cabinet, President Batancourt was granted emergency powers.
Rafael Caldera, leader of the Copei party, which supports Batancourt, appealed to Copei members in San Cristobal to rise against the rebels. San Cristobal traditionally is regarded as a Copei stronghold.
Augusto Malave Villaiba called on workers to begin a general strike indicating their support for the government. The call was obeyed completely. All production and refining operations closed down less than
an hour after the call went out to
the oil-rich interior of Venezuela.
The one-day shutdown is estimated
to cost between $500,000 and $600,000
in production.
Gen. Henriquez said units of the navy and air force had been ordered into action against two fishing boats bringing arms from Spain and mercenaries hired by the Dominican government.
He said the expedition was directed by exiled Navy Capt. Eduardo Moreales Luengo, an official in the ousted government of Gen. Marcos Perez Jimenez, now in Madrid. He said the troops themselves came from the Dominican Republic with which Venezuela broke diplomatic relations last summer.
National Guard Chief Col. Carlos Luis Araque announced his men had captured a small rebel army group at Colon on the Pan-American highway 25 miles north of San Cristobal in an apparent move to prevent rebels fleeing across the border into Colombia.
News Taken Calmly
San Cristobal is in the southwestern corner of Venezuela, south of the rich Maracaibo oil fields and about 500 miles southwest of Caracas.
The people of Caracas took the news of the revolt calmly. Business appeared to be going on much as usual, and the traffic was moving in about the customary early-morning volume.
Barnes said that the Honors for Outstanding Progressive Educators awards established by last year's senior class will be made at the coffee. He said a trophy will also be presented to the organization which won the '60 Big Push campaign.
the schedule of Senior Class activities for the remainder of the semester is:
June 5—Baccalaureate.
June 6-class breakfast, commencement and class reception.
April 27-10 a.m. to noon, class coffee.
May 7-class picnic.

Kuhn Examines Sartre, Proust
Life Meaning Destroyed
This is the opinion of Reinhard Kuhn, visiting assistant professor of Romance languages, who compared the two French novelists at a Humanities Forum lecture last night.
The novelists Proust and Sartre have torn apart the immense structure of modern values brick by brick—and on the ruins have helped to build the literary revolution called Romanticism.
"The works of both Sartre and Proust are characterized by a systematic destruction of all those things that give meaning to life," said Prof. Kuhn.
"But Sartre was of a different generation. His inspiration was drawn through a period of war and depression, along with such novelists as John Dos Passos, Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner.
"The difference between the two is a matter of style, principally. They both attempt to create a sensual world apart from reality," he added.
He explained that both of these novelists destroy what he called the two greatest means of communications between human beings — love and friendship. He said that both writers use a method of intense analysis and rejection to discredit these modern values.
Prof. Kuhn said that Proust's "Remembrances of Things Past" is representative of the novel of society, the type of novel for which Proust was known.
War, Depression Inspire
He said that although the two writers lived and worked in different parts of the 20th century, they both developed the idea of man as a lonely creature, irrevocably cut off from his fellows and wrapped in a boredom so all-enveloping and complete that it approaches death itself. This he called enniu.
But after denying the values of love and friendship, stripping human relationships of their dignity, and leaving man frozen in ennui, both still hold out to humanity one hope — survival through art.
Prof. Kuhn said that in both of these men, music was the form that was common to their expression of this belief.
In concluding, he said that their concern with self and their searching examination of human values and the conclusions they reached about survival through art stamped them as leaders in "the most important movement in modern thought and art—Romanticism."
Weather
Northwesterly winds are headed for the Mt. Oread area today, bringing with them a new cold front.
The cold front guest will be ushered in by partly-cloudy skies and thunderstorm activity later this afternoon, according to the United States Weather Bureau.
Thursday will host a more spring-like warming trend, but it quickly will be replaced by another cold front Thursday night.
The KU weather observation center reported a low this morning of 72 degrees with 92 per cent humidity and slight traces of precipitation.
