Presidential campaign roundup
Humphrey and Nixon attack each other
By United Press International Hubert H. Humphrey charged Tuesday his campaign was the target of highly disciplined, well-organized efforts to wreck the Democratic Party and the United States.
The Vice President also said Richard M. Nixon may force a defeat of the nuclear proliferation treaty by his "stalling" on its ratification.
Humphrey told a news conference in Minneapolis that those who had been heckling his appearances were "not just hecklers, but highly disciplined, well-organized agitators . . . some of them anarchists and some of these groups are dedicated to destroying the Democratic Party and destroying this country."
Nixon, meanwhile, sought to
tie Humphrey closely to the Johnson administration when he said the Vice President was the "most uncompromising defender" of administration policies.
The two presidential candidates campaigned in the Midwest Tuesday-Nixon in the Dakotas and Humphrey in Minnesota.
They continued to attack each other by name.
Humphrey told the Minnesota AFL-CIO convention in Minneapolis that Nixon was stalling on the nonproliferation treaty and may force a "crashing" defeat on its ratification. He urged Nixon "to come out of the shadows—to stop stalling—and to
tell us whether he is for this treaty now."
Nixon said he supports the treaty, but does not think the Senate should ratify it at this time because of the Russian-led invasion of Czechoslovakia.
Humphrey also told the AFLCIO convention that both Nixon and third party candidate George Wallace had antilabor records.
Cultural programs started by KUIFC
The Cultural Affairs Committee created last spring by KU's Interfraternity Council has begun its drive to make a varied program of cultural events available to every fraternity man.
"Culture, in its many facets, should play a definite role during a fraternity man's college years," said Ken Wiley, St. Joseph, Mo. junior and chairman of the committee. "This is the reason for the committee's existence."
In addition to musical programs, the committee hopes to organize art displays in houses. "We plan to arrange displays demonstrating the different periods in the history of art, including descriptions of both the painting and the period," Wiley said.
The after-dinner speakers program started by the IFC last fall has been continued by the Cultural Affairs Committee this year. Several faculty members have agreed to speak to fraternities as their schedules allow.
Special projects now planned for later in the year include a photography contest and debates featuring two men from each fraternity discussing fraternity issues. Both will be held in conjunction with Greek Week activities.
The committee has also arranged to make tickets available to KU Greeks for performances of the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra and the Kansas City Lyric Opera at reduced rates.
"Our biggest objective might well be exposure," Wiley said. "Cultural affairs have been buried beneath intramurals and social activities for so long that many people fail to realize their benefits."
For that reason, the committee has encouraged every house to establish a cultural affairs chairman and to publish a

weekly or monthly cultural events calendar.
Although the IFC committee is aimed at fraternities alone, Wiley hopes the idea will spread to the Panhellenic Council so that sororites can benefit from it also.
"The diffusion of liberal culture, including both the liberal arts and the fine arts, is essential for a well-rounded education. It is time the fraternities and sororities at KU realize this and do something about it," he said.
