Lau calls ceasefire only a stage
PARIS (UPI)-North Vietnamese diplomats Sunday cast doubts on any early cease-fire in the Vietnam War. They said a
truce was unrealistic until a political settlement was reached and the United States withdrew its forces from South Vietnam.
Students can win grand prizes for photographs in KU contest
Anyone has the chance to win in the KU photography contest regardless what experiences one has, said Bill Seymour, director of the KU Photojournalism sequence. The photography contest is co-sponsored by Student Union Activities and Kappa Alpha Mu (Photojournalism fraternity), Seymour said.
"In addition to the $10 for first place, ribbons for first, second, third place and two honorable mentions in each category," Seymour said, "There will be four cameras worth $800 for the grand prizes which were donated by Lawrence Photo-Supply in Wichita and Zercher Photo in Topeka."
To enter the contest, he said, student has to be enrolled at KU, and must not be full time professional photographers, or employed in a professional photographic capacity on a part time basis.
Seymour said the contest is divided into nine categories. Each participant can have no more than eight entries which can be submitted in any category with no limitation as to the number in one category.
The nine categories are:
- News-Pictures can be of any scheduled event which would be of interest to the public and might be or have been published in a newspaper or magazine. Events such as demonstrations, fires, wrecks either taken on campus or off campus.
- Picture Story—A series of pictures (at least three) mounted on as many as four boards which tell a story of a person, an event or the like. Prints in this category can be of any size, but it is usually good to have a larger beginning and ending picture.
- Sports—Any sport from football to table tennis could be the subject of entries in this class.
- Human Interest-Good pictures of animals and portraits of human emotions of love, hate, happiness, sorrow, joy or other expressions.
- Color- All color prints, not slides, can be entered in this category. This class is designed for the best use of color.
- Abstract—Prints of texture, tone or light patterns are good entries in this category. This is generally a class for more of the art form rather than pure representation.
- Scenic or Pictorial-This class would include nature studies, architectural studies and other prints which would be designed to show beauty and not merely to represent the structure.
- Portrait-Personality—Unusual shots of people are the prime target for this class. Older people make ideal subjects. Good off beat shots of famous people are good entries in this class.
"Students must submit their entries with $2 entries fee to the SUA Director's Office no later than 5:00 p.m., February 28, 1969." Seymour said, "Though it seems quite a while away, it's the time to work now."
All entries which must have been done since Jan. 1, 1968 have to be mounted on 16” x 20” matte boards, with no limitation on board colors. All single picture must be at least nine and half inches for the longest dimension. Seymour explained.
- Category x-An open class designed to allow the photographer to enter prints which he feels may not belong under of the other eight classifications. Use of photographs are usually found in this category as well as other experimental shots.
Three photographers from different fields will decide who the winners are on March 2, 1969, he said. The winning entries will be exhibited for two weeks from March 3 to March 15.
"There were 185 entries last year. I expect 500 entries this time." Seymour added.
"Cease-fire is only a stage that is part of the process of settlement," Col. Ha Van Lau said in an interview with the Paris news magazine L'Express. He is the No. 2 man in the North Vietnamese negotiating team here.
Lau said any settlement would have to involve on one hand a withdrawal of all American and allied troops from South Vietnam and destruction of their bases there and on the other hand a political settlement in accordance with the program of the Viet Cong's National Liberation Front (NLF).
"A cease-fire before we arrive at a conclusion of these two points is not realistic," Lau said.
On another matter, Lau said United States claims that North Vietnam had agreed to expanded two-way negotiations in Paris was "absolutely false."
Lau said the United States proposed such a two-sided conference but it was rejected and "we finally came to an agreement of the formula of a fourway conference in which the United States, the Democratic Republic of North Vietnam, the National Liberation Front and the Saigon administration would each have a complete separate delegation."
In a separate interview with L'Express, Cyrus R. Vance, deputy chief of the U.S. negotiating team, disputed Lau's interpretation of the agreement which provided for South Vietnam and the NLF.to join the preliminary peace talks.
"We categorically reject this manner of describing these negotiations," Vance said. He described the agreement as a "pragmatic" one for both the United States and North Vietnam to expand their delegations so that "the principal belligerents could start talking about how to achieve peace."
