"I'm not sure the University is going to be hurt. . ."
Anderson Says
KU Unscathed by Docking's Attacks
A Republican gubernatorial candidate said yesterday that he felt Gov. Docking's attack on the University may have a good effect on education in the long run.
John Anderson, Kansas attorney general, explained and expounded on questions for an hour and a half in an open discussion at a joint meeting of the Political Science and Young Republicans Clubs.
"I'm not sure the University is going to be hurt by Gov. Docking's attack. The needs of education have received state-wide publicity through the controversy," he said.
He added that it was inevitable that remarks will be made in the
Mr. Anderson said that despite Gov. Docking's opposition to the needs of higher education today he did not believe it would be the leading question in the coming campaign.
Levin to Speak On 'Golden Age'
From Tolstoy and Shakespeare to Cervantes and James Joyce is the range of literature to be discussed at Tuesday's Humanities Series lecture.
Harry Levin, chairman of modern languages at Harvard University, will speak on "The Renaissance and the Golden Age" at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Fraser Theater.
Prof. Levin will also take part in an informal discussion, "What Is Modernism?" in the music and browsing room of the Kansas Union Monday at 4 p.m.

heat of political discussions which carry meanings and inferences which were not necessarily involved in the original statement.
"I think this may be the case in the Docking vs. KU controversy."
The KU law school graduate said that he felt the Republican primary battle for governor would not be as sharp or heated as it had been in the past few campaigns.
"People are fed up with political in-fighting," he said.
Mr. Anderson asserted that there was still some evidence of a cleavage in Republican party ranks, but with a few exceptions, the indications are for a willingness to pull back together.
The politician was asked questions on all phases of state and local government issues. He expressed some clear conclusions on the right-to-work amendment which was passed two years ago.
"I sure do expect some support from labor," he emphasized. "Not in the form of endorsements from labor or organizations as the state chamber of commerce, though, but in action. I voted against right-to-work in the state senate in 1955 and my position is clear."
Mr. Anderson said he believed labor was moving away from the mass endorsement of the Democratic Party. He was asked if he expected any help from labor:
"The accomplishments, or results, of the right-to-work amendment are probably about 1 to 100 of what most people expected. The simple passage of an act is not a cure-all for labor problems.
"A lot of people felt it would be the salvation of labor and management disputes, but legislative action simply is not the solution—it takes administration." he said.
Mr. Anderson said he ran much stronger in labor strongholds two years ago than the Republican gubernatorial candidate, Clyde Reed, did.
In Wyandotte County, Reed lost by 22,000 votes and I only lost by 9,000. In Sedgwick County, Reed lost by more than 30,000 votes, while I was beaten by less than half that number."
Truman to Speak At Model U.N. Opening April 1
A former President of the United States will relive a moment in history when he steps to the podium in Hoch Auditorium to open KU's model United Nations convention.
He is Harry S. Truman, who on June 26, 1945, addressed delegates of 46 nations which had joined in signing the U.N. charter. Mr. Truman will speak at an all-student convocation held April 1 at 9:30 a.m., said Robert Nebrig, Leavenworth senior and chairman of the model U.N. Steering Committee.
After Mr. Truman's address the delegates will stream into Allen Field House, where they will begin discussion of resolutions dealing with Algerian independence, a worldwide nuclear test ban and the admission of Red China to the U.N.
The first resolution to be considered will be the admission of Red China as an observer nation, said Nebrrit.
He indicated that Mr. Truman will be speaking before representatives of more nations than were at San Francisco for the signing of the charter. To date, 72 nations will be sending delegations of four persons each. Each delegation will be advised by a foreign student from that nation, giving each delegation five active members. Nebrig estimated that about 400 students will actively participate in the convention, including those acting as convention officers and sergeant at arms.
Nebrig said the delegates will meet in an atmosphere tailored to resemble the General Assembly in New York.
"It'll be a colorful thing. All the delegates will be seated at tables arranged in a huge semicircle around the rostrum. Each nation will be labeled and the flags of all the nations will be massed behind the rostrum. It'll look as much like the real thing as we can make it," said Nebrig.
Vox Unopposed For ASC Seats
He added that foreign students have shown enthusiasm for the convention by volunteering for positions as advisers.
"I heard that four Indonesian students called up the delegates from that country and asked when they could get together. The advisers are seeking out the delegates instead of vice versa," he said.
There will be excused absences from class for all those taking an active part in the convention, said Nebrig. The convention starts Fri-

Vox Populi is unopposed in the spring elections. Last nights' deadline for filing petitions for All Student Council officers found only Vox candidates filing for the primary elections March 29 and 30.
Heading the Vox ticket for student body president and vice president are Ron Dalby, Joplin, Mo., junior and Edward McMullan, Long Beach, N. Y., junior, respectively, Dalby and McMullan are presently serving as members of the ASC.
Only Vox candidates will appear on the formal ballot for the general elections. However, the campus's

Write-ins Possible
only political party could find itself in a situation comparable to 1958—with a twist.
During the spring elections of 1958, the new defunct Allied Greek-Independent party was also running an unopposed ticket. Shortly before elections a write-in campaign, backed by Vox Populi, was organized.
The election saw Vox write-in candidates win positions as student body president and vice president and take 17 of 24 seats on the ASC.
Rumors that a second political party would be formed failed to materialize. Vox remains the only political party since the death of the Allied Greek-Independent party in October.
Vox candidates swept the 1959 elections by winning 20 of the 27 voting seats on the ASC. Student body president and vice president positions were also won by Vox.
Platform Outlined
In an interview with the Daily Kansan last night, Dalby outlined the main ideas of the Vox platform and said he will support it 100 per cent. The platform represents the interests of all the students, Dalby said.
One of the man points Vox will be concerned with is the separation of men's university and women's university dormitories districts in regard to representation on the ASC.
Dalby said this will be a Constitutional amendment which must first be presented to the ASC and then subjected to the vote of the student body.
"This amendment would divide the large organized districts and the small organized living districts. It would give representation according
to the interests and needs of the small and large groups," Dalby said.
Dalby further explained that the way it is now, all representatives could be elected from a large dormitory in a particular district and none could be elected from a small hall

or living group in the same district. This amendment would eliminate such a possibility.
Protects Small Groups
Dalby said the amendment would eliminate the idea that a group with interests and needs different from other living groups could possibly not have representation.
Dalby pointed out that at the present time Vox has followed the policy that this new amendment would set down. However, in the future one party or another could select all representatives from either the small or large groups, he said.
Other points outlined by Dalby are:
1. That the ASC should not be used as a "springboard." Dalby said the ASC should be the main interest of the representatives on the council. The people on ASC should have the desire to represent the areas they are selected from rather than use the ASC for their personal ambitions, he said.
2. Continue public relations. The ASC started publishing a newsletter this year. The purpose of the news-

Stadium to Gain Seats
By John Peterson
Plans are being formulated for a 4,000 seat addition to Memorial Stadium.
The big questions left to answer are when and how. Nobody knows the answer to how, but Coach Jack Mitchell and Athletic Director A.C. (Dutch) Lonborg each have some ideas on when.
Coach Mitchell is by far the more optimistic and enthusiastic of the two. He said:
"I think it's a great idea. I hope to see it completed in time for next season."
Mr. Lonborg was much more conservative in his estimate of when the addition would be finished.
"I don't believe it will be in the near future and it won't be possible to have it ready by next season. We haven't even discussed finances vet," he said.
Usually accurate official sources said that the press box is scheduled
Memorial Stadium now has a capacity of 40,000 with bleachers and stadees. The new addition will un this number to 44,000.
to be finished by the 1961 season and, if the addition is to be built, it will be finished by then, too.
Plans call for the driveway behind the stadium to be kept as a tunnel with the support for the additional rows being erected on the outside of the present drive.
The proposed addition will be on the west side of the stadium and will add 20 rows of seats between the goal lines. A new press box will be built and elevated on stilts above the addition.
"I know that we will fill all these seats every game once they are completed," Coach Mitchell said, "All 4,000 will be preferred seats and will be sold to season ticket holders. I think we could have 50,000 people here every Saturday if we have good weather and a winning team.
"We have the greatest home football schedule the University has ever had next season, and I'd sure like to have those seats available," he said.
Coach Mitchell pointed out that KU has a larger population within two hours drive than any other school in the Midwest. He said that more than two million people live within easy access of the University.
The Jayhawkers home football schedule includes Oklahoma, Syracuse, Texas Christian, Nebraska and Colorado.
Mr. Lonborg said the University of Kansas Physical Education Corp, will be in charge of the financing. He stressed the point that the proposed addition is "still something in the future."
He pointed out that all of the seats will be between the goal lines and that the only seats that have been vacant at KU football games in the last few years have been in the end zone.
