PROBE THE ISSUES
From left, Paul Stookey, Mary Travers and Peter Yarrow discuss politics, record sales and recently-filmed movie "You Are What You Eat" with reporters after the Peter, Paul and Mary concert in Kansas City Saturday night.

Participation on campus is important, he urged. You can help by involvement in small elections. "If you can determine who represents you, then our democracy will be preserved."
Hovering over two microphones, the smooth, slicky-paced trio conveyed the intense conviction their fans know so well.
With hair flying and guitars raised high as they stamped their feet or shouted, Peter, Paul and Mary sang well-known recordings including "Leaving on a Jet Plane," "If I Had a Hammer," and "The Times They Are a-Changing."
"There is one song relating to our visit here," Yarrow explained, dedicating "The Great Mandella" to Democratic candidate Swan.
Off-stage a few minutes later, the folk singers grabbed their coats, taped a short TV interview and posed for pictures. Then, they piled into two cars and sped toward Kansas City and a concert two hours later.
During the TV interview in
Topeka, Miss Travers said the group has always been involved in politics, recently campaigning for Sen. Eugene McCarthy.
Paul Stookey urged persons to work within the democracy—not against it. "Young people are having their voices heard in terms of human commitment. Now is the time for Americans to take responsibility."
As he explained five hours later in Kansas City, the folk group is giving many political concerts this fall for local candidates because they actively support no national candidate.
Persons are involved in politics today, Yarrow said, because of mass communication. "It's just as McLuhan publicized. By the time kids are 10 or 11 they have absorbed more information than we had at 15 or 20."
"Police were certainly not justified at the Chicago convention," Miss Travers said. "It was all Daley's fault."
If Mayor Lindsay would have handled it, she explained, he would have handed out sandwiches to the kids.
Voice plans for coming week
Only about 30 persons attended a Peoples Voice meeting last night in the Kansas Union Jayhawk Room.
Jay Barrish, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, said the meeting was held to plan events for the coming week.
NOW IS THE TIME
These included:
- Formation of a committee to study Indian problems and to attend the Haskell Institute open house Wednesday.
- A rummage sale Saturday at 1225 Oread.
- A Voice meeting next Monday night to outline a plan of action on the student government controversy.
- A dance at 8 p.m. Sunday at the Wesley Foundation.

Merchants of Good Appearance
Serving Students for 55 Years
You can't get any closer.
Some men think the only way to get a good, close shave is with a blade.
If that's what you think, we'd like to tell you something about the Norelco Tripleheader Speedshaver®.
In a very independent laboratory, we had some very independent men shave one
side of their faces with a leading stainless steel blade, and the other side with a new Norelco Tripleheader.
The results showed the Tripleheader shaved as close or closer than the blade in 2 out of 3 shaves.
The Tripleheader has three rotary blades inside new, thin, Microgroove™ heads that "float," so it follows your face, to shave you closer.
The Tripleheader has a pop-up sideburn trimmer. A handy, coiled cord. And a 110/220 voltage selector.
It comes in both a Cord and a Rechargeable model.
And it won't pull or nick or cut.
Because it shaves your beard.
Not your face.
