355 Cast Votes During First Day Of Primary Poll
Approximately 355 students turned out at the polls yesterday for the first day of voting in the "token" primary elections.
Robert Iott, McPhersan senior and elections committee chairman, disclosed the total.
Iott said he felt they were lucky to have as many turn out to vote yesterday as they did have. He said he hoped for a better turnout today, especially for the class officers.
The elections held yesterday and today are for class officers, student body president and vice president and All Student Council representatives. No candidates will be eliminated in the primary elections.
especially "Considering that there is only one political party and student apathy being such as it is this year the turnout was pretty good," Iot said.
Iott said only two of the three polls were open in Strong Hall because of the light voting and there were not enough poll workers. He said since Vox is the only political party they have had to furnish most of the workers.
Iott said it is possible that the Vox ballots will not be counted. Members of the elections committee will decide this tonight.
He said the reason why the votes may not be counted is because of the IBM work involved and the cost about $800.
Wednesday. March 30.1960
Of the total number that voted yesterday 257 were Vox Populi party members voting in the closed primaries.
The polls in Strong Hall will remain open until 5 p.m. today and the ballots will be counted tonight by the IBM system.
Iott also said they are interested in getting students to work at the polls for the general elections on

Aldous Huxley To Lecture Here
The author of "Brave New World," who so vividly pictured the horrors of totalitarianism will give a humanities lecture here Tuesday.
Aldous Huxley will speak at 8 p.m. on "Visionary Experience."
IN 1959, Mr. Huxley received the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award of Merit for "having done the best work of our time in the novel of ideas." His satirical novel, "Brave New World" written in 1932, has been suggested reading for years in Western Civilization here.
He is a grandson of Thomas H. Huxley, famous English biologist, and was born in 1894 in Godalming, Surrey, England. He was educated at Eton College and received his B. A at Balliol College, Oxford, in 1916. Within a year, his first book, "The Burning Wheel," was published.
Recently, Mr. Huxley wrote "Brave New World Revisited," in which he examined the predictions he made in "Brave New World" and in which he showed that some of the predictions such as "thought control" have already come true.
IN 1920, his first prose work, a book of short stories entitled "Limbo," was published. From 1919 to 1242, he worked as a literary journalist in London, writing dramatic, are, and music criticism, book reviews and essays. He was a close friend of D. H. Lawrence.
Huxley now resides in California, but he recently came to Topeka as visiting professor at the Menninger Foundation under a program to improve psychiatric training.

S. Africa Calls Out Troops; Quits U.N.
By United Press International
At Capetown, South Africa, the government today proclaimed a state of emergency and ordered units of the Territorial Army mobilized.
At approximately the same time at a United Nations meeting in New York, a South African delegate warned the U.N. about taking action against racial killing and walked out.
Despite Fourie's opposition, there was no dissenting vote to putting the South African case on the council's agenda.
The order to mobilize came after another day of mass demonstrations by Negroes protesting white supremacy laws.
Lawyer to Speak Tomorrow
The order said the units would be used "in prevention or suppression of internal disorder in the union, or in the preservation of life, health or property or the maintenance of essential services."
A member of his delegation said Fourie had decided to take no further part in the debate, pending his instructions from his government. He left the table, the South African said, because his government does not recognize U.N. competence to deal with the question.
Fourie did not leave the room, however. He walked to the chairs at the back of the council chamber reserved for delegates observing the council.
Thirty thousand Negroes marched into the heart of Capetown today to protest a nation-wide series of predawn raids and the arrests of more than 100 anti-government leaders. They massed around Parliament House and a police station.
Herman Will, attorney for the Board of World Peace, will speak at 3 p.m. tomorrow at the Methodist Student Center on "Nuclear Warfare and Christian Pacifism."
But there was no violence.
At the United Nations meeting South African Delegate Bernardus Gerhardus Fourie, who arrived last night to protest the council's debate of his country's troubles, in a half-hour speech argued that the U.N. charter provision forbidding intervention in a country's domestic affairs barred consideration of the issue here.
As soon as he finished, Fourie picked up his papers and stalked away from the Council table at which he had been invited to sit as a nonmember of the 11-nation group, without a vote.
Addington to Speak Before Young GOP
William Addington, a Republican gubernatorial candidate, will address the campus Young Republicans tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the Jayhawk room of the Kansas Union.
Mr. Addington will discuss the gubernatorial race in Kansas.The talk will be open to the public.
Sticker' Plans Termed Illegal
Six write-in candidates for ASC had a "sticker" campaign in operation for less than two hours last night before the elections committee said it was impossible and illegal.
Fred Morrison, Colby senior and spokesman for the unaffiliated candidates, said that he and five other candidates for write-in election had plans for distributing $ ^{*} $
election had plans for dissolving stickers to voters at the general election to paste on the ballot instead of writing in the names.
"This sticker campaign is against the ASC constitution and definitely will not be allowed," Iott said. "I feel that the 'gimmick' of stickers on ballots would be an unfair advantage."
Iott said he had checked with the campus IBM operator to see if it would be possible to process the ballots with the sticker on them. He found the stickers would jam the machine.
"... blank spaces shall be provided at the end of the printed list of candidates for each office in which the voter may write in the name of any person not on the ballot for whom he may wish to vote for such position."
The part of the elections bill, chapter three, section two, dealing with write-in candidates reads:
Iott said the only possible way for such a sticker campaign to be run would be for a hand count of the votes. He said this would slow the process immeasurably, and count out the only method KU has found to assure there is no tampering with the tabulation.
"If we are not permitted to conduct this campaign, and if it is ruled illegal by the elections committee, it will show the committee is trying to keep us out of office." Morrison said.
Itt did say that his committee would do all it could to give the write-in candidates an equal opportunity at the polls. He said that any names written in, which selected the desired candidate beyond doubt, would be ruled valid.
The ASC pays the University for the use of the IBM service.
Iott said he contacted four of seven members of his committee by phone to poll them on the proposed sticker campaign. He said that none of the members could see the possibility of allowing the sticker campaign under the present election bill.
"Of course the committee's action won't be official until it meets. But right now I would say that a sticker on any ballot would make it void," he said.
Vox Praises Write-in Action
Leaders of Vox Populi, KU's only political party, said last night they are glad to see that other students have taken an interest in student government.
Referring to the six write-in candidates who announced their candidacy yesterday for ASC seats, four party members said they felt Vox has the best qualified candidates but it is up to the students to decide who has the best slate.
Ronald Dalby, Joplin, Mo., junior and Vox's candidate for student body president, said it is definitely good for student government to have competition.
"The ideas on the write-in candidate's platform are basically good and ones that merit student interest. Some of the subjects have been mentioned in the council this year and are still under consideration," Dalby said.
Dalby commented specifically on the plank in their platform which provided for the establishment of a method by which students can present issues to the ASC.
"The ASC representatives are elected to handle formal details. They are the few students who have expressed interest and are willing to devote extra time and effort in order to provide the University with good student government. Any student who is interested in student government and wishes to present something before the council will be granted speaking privileges in the council." he said.
George Schluter, Prairie Village senior and Vox president, said;
"I think that we (VOX) have the outstanding candidates and are best qualified but I am glad to see interest from other students."
He said their platform basically has some good points in it but some of the things are in effect now and others are being worked on by Vox.
Patrick Allen, Lawrence junior and vice president of Vox, said he was glad to see opposition and thinks competition is good for student government.
Expert Sees Afro-Asian Tie
A specialist in African affairs last night said racial stereotypes imposed by the West are bringing Africans closer to Asian nations particularly Red China.
The speaker was Edwin S. Munger, a member of the American Universities Field Staff and a specialist in the affairs of African nations located south of the Sahara. He spoke at a joint meeting of Sigma Delta Chi and Theta Sigma Phi, professional journalism fraternities.
"If you placed a Kikuyu, a Chinese and a European together, the Kikuyu would consider himself closer to the Chinese than to the European," said Mr. Munger. (Kikuyu is a tribe in Kenya.)
He explained that the American idea of absolute distinction between the white and black races has helped to create a similar separation between the two in the minds of many Africans.
Chinese Take Advantage
"The Chinese have successfully taken advantage of this. They are ahead of the Russians in their relations with the African people," said Mr. Munger.
But he added that although the people promoting Communism in Africa have been increasingly effective, their efforts have not yet resulted in any strong feelings for Communism.
The Union of South Africa's problem of apartheid was explained by Mr. Munger. He said that apartheid was not a simple matter of absolute racial segregation, as Americans are apt to consider it.
"There is often confusion in the use of this term. Many cannot decide if it is a slogan or a political doctrine. Actually, there are many

different kinds of apartheid," he said.
(The policy of apartheid was in the news last week when 72 South Africans were killed in riots protesting a rule requiring all Negroes to carry passbooks. The matter is under discussion in the U.N.)
Mr. Munger cited some of the stereotypes Americans create about Africa and its people.
Stereotypes Cited
"Americans begin to be interested in Africa when they see Little Black Sambo being chased around a tree by a tiger. When they get older, they graduate to Tarzan movies."
"Americans also conceive of the typical white settler as a man who goes out and whips a few Africans before breakfast every day," said Mr. Munger.
In discussing African nationalism, he pointed to the almost universal anticolonialism of African national groups as "the great unifying cement of Africa."
But now that the colonial powers are moving out quickly, said Mr. Munger, African nationalists are seeking unity through an idealistic pursuit of equality for the Negro. He said that this movement is centered upon the policy of apartheid. "There could be very serious con- tention issue" warned Mr.
"There could be very serious conflict over this issue," warned Mr. Munger.
