'Spectrum' to Make Its Debut With Humphrey, Ise Articles
Another episode in the history of the colorful and often-censored campus magazines opens tomorrow.
Spectrum, a literary-academic magazine, features authors Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn), Democratic presidential candidate, and John Ise, professor emeritus of economics.
The magazine was approved in November by the All Student Council.
DOUGLAS YOCOM. Lawrence senior and Spectrum editor, said that the magazine will be on sale at the Information Booth on Jayhawk Blvd., the Kansas Union Hawk's Nest, Strong rotunda and in the lobby of the Music and Dramatic Arts building.
Sen. Humphrey's article, written exclusively for Spectrum, is "The Soviet Economic Challenge and the American Response."
Prof. Ise wrote "What's the Matter with Education" and Walter Starkie, visiting professor in Romance languages, contributed an article, "The Eternal Travelers."
Religious Man Claims 'King of World' Title
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) — Bishop Homer A. Tomlinson, who claims the title of "King of the World" crowned himself "King of Missouri . . . for good" in front of the city hall in downtown Kansas City.
The next day he got around to Kansas, in a crowning ceremony at Toneka.
Tomlinson said Missouri became the 28th state in which he has designated himself king, a title he also has bestowed on himself in 100 nations.
Tomlinson, general overseer of the Church of God, is campaigning to become America's next president "through miracles."
Refugee Minister Won't Quit
BONN, GERMANY — (UPI) — West German refugee Minister Theodor Oberlaender does not intend to decide whether to resign until an investigation of Nazi war crimes charges against him is completed, a spokesman for Oberlaender said yesterday.
Oberlaender has been under heavy fire, mostly from Communist East Germany, for his alleged part in the massacre of Polish Jews at Lovol during World War II. He is one of two admitted ex-Nazis in Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's cabinet. His case is under investigation by an "Honor Committee" of the ruling Christian Democratic Party.
THE FIRST campus magazine was the Sour Owl, published in 1914. It continued off and on until 1956 when the administration banned it from the campus.
Its name was indicative of some of its issues. In 1956 when it was finally abolished, its editors apologized in the Daily Kansan:
"The recent publication of the Sour Owl has produced an almost universal reaction of disgust and irie. Moreover, many highly competent and extremely personable individuals were ridiculed and defamed."
THE FIRST issue of the magazine set the tone for its entire history. It was published without authority of University officials and banned from the campus. The Daily Kansan reported the publishers were never discovered. The second issue was a complete sellout as were all other issues that year.
Throughout its history, the Sour Owl was making news. At one of its high points in 1925, a movieland firm purchased exclusive rights for screen use of all material appearing in the magazine.
At the time Sour Owl had a large circulation in Manhattan, Topeka, Kansas City and at all state colleges and universities.

SUA dance lessons
We don't offer this type of dancing, but we will teach you the west coast swing & the cha-cha.
In 1955 two campus humor magazines were published, Sour Owl and Squat. Sour Owl was discontinued in 1956 and Squat in 1958.
IN 1944 the magazine had just started publishing again after a two-year layoff during the war when it was barred from the U.S. mails and temporarily suspended by the University. All staff members were barred from campus organizations and activities.
Lessons Start Friday, March 25th, at 6:30 until 8:30 p.m. and then for the following four Fridays.
Pay $2.50 for 10 hours of professional dancing taught by expert dance teachers. These lessons would normally cost you $30.00 or more.
The Fowl was the latest attempt at a humor magazine. It was aimed at the current level of humor on campus. It published one issue before the administration put an end to it as unfit for publication.

FOWL WAS the only one of the magazines ever to show a monetary loss for its efforts.
The decline of humor magazines is not limited to the KU campus. Other schools which have had humor magazines banned and changed formats are Cincinnati, Yale and Notre Dame.
Quill magazine, published by the Quill Club, is KU's only literary magazine.
Dean W. Clarke Wescoe Succeeds Chancellor Murphy
Spectrum will be sold for 50 cents.
Wesco became dean of the medical school at Kansas City in 1952 at 32 years of age.
"I think they were acting pretty fast, but they are running it."
None of the three had any comment on their votes.
(Continued from page 1)
All three regents who voted against Dr. Wescoe's appointment were named to the board by Gov. Docking.
THE REGENTS DID NOT set dr. Wescoe's salary, reserving that decision until after its budget meeting in May. The figure of $22,000, the same as Chancellor Murphy was paid, was discussed, the UPI said.
Evans Said Board In 'No Hurry'
Ray Evans, chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents, told a Daily Kansan reporter this morning shortly before the regents named Dean W. Clarke Wescoe chancellor that the group was in no hurry to make an appointment.
THE FACULTY SENATE and the Alumni Association appointed committees last Friday to work with the Regents in finding a successor to Chancellor Murphy, but neither group had held any public meetings, either among their own members or with the Regents.
"We felt it was important that the man we chose have the faith and confidence of both groups," he said.
Gov. George Docking said he has not "had much contact" with Dr. Wescoe and does not, therefore, know him very well.
He said the board should "go slow upon its selection and screening" of a successor.
"We hope he does well," Gov. Docking said.
He said that there would be an excellent possibility some "outstanding educator may pop up from somewhere in the next couple of weeks."
Asked for comment on the speed with which the Regents filled the job. Gov Docking said:
Mr. Evans said the Board of Regents was not necessarily only interested in a "man from Kansas." He said if an outstanding man from elsewhere in the nation applied, he would be considered.
One word settles heaven and earth:
One sword levels the whole world.
