'GOP Leaders Need Vitality'
The GOP must have a revitalization of leadership from the national chairman down to precinct committeeman.
This was the opinion of the speakers at the first SUA Curren Events Forum Friday. They are Donald R. McCoy, director of correspondence study and assistant professor of history, and Thomas L. W. Johnson, assistant instructor of political science.
The GOP suffers from insufficient campaign work, lack of aggressiveness, and poor public relations, Prof. McCoy said.
Men who are old in spirit run for office in the GOP and candidates are not shown to best advantage, he said.
"Clyde Reed was presented as a nice guy to Kansans," Prof. McCoy said, "But people want to know what a man is going to do, not that he is a nice guy."
"The Republicans are leery of the laboring man and do not bring labor into their strategy or campaigns," he said, "Ladies' clubs, business and preacher groups do not win elections."
Mr. Johnson said that the Republican program is not getting through to the Mid-Western voter.
The party "must comb the hinterlands for Republican leadership. The Republicans can not rely on California and New York alone," Mr. Johnson said.
"The Republican precinct worker is a rather apathetic creature. As a Republican, he does not feel that he has to beg for votes," he added. Prof McCoy said that the question
Prof. McCoy said that the question for the Republicans is:
"Do we want to remain the minority party or do we want to regain status?"
"Hard work and communication with the public bring victory," he said. "The GOP needs research to determine what the voters want to know about a candidate to present him in the best manner. It must find out what issues interest the people." Mr. Johnson said, "Republicans

New Women's Hall Discovered
Communist Chinese are not the only persons seeking recognition since residents of Grace Pearson Hall have sent a plea out for recognition on the campus.
They say in a letter to The Daily Kansan:
"For the past three years Grace Pearson Hall has been an independent residence on the campus. The first year it was a women's dormitory and then changed to a men's hall. In the fall of 1958 it became an upperclass women's residence.
"However, the women of Grace Pearson appear to be the only students aware of this change. This is evidenced by our exclusion from the student directory and various campus activities.
"We have often been confused with Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall although we are one-tenth their size and there is a distance of four blocks between us.
"We are very much in existence and would appreciate consideration in the mailing lists of future campus activities."
The Women of Grace Pearson 1335 Louisiana
should focus their attention on the 86th Congress and make the Democratic majority share the responsibility for what happens the next two years.
"We must develop leaders at higher echelons who will inspire people to work during election year," he added.
The program was the first in a series of Current Events Forums which will be held to background and interpret news which students and faculty want to know more about.
Melvin Mencher, assistant professor of journalism, acted as moderator.

The team of Nichols and Don Bowen, Salina senior, lost a split decision in the final debate to Northwestern University.
