Twenty-four faculty members are opposing the right to work amendment in advertisements appearing in daily newspapers.
The advertisement contends the amendment "will not curb union abuses, protect the individual worker, or extend any basic right to workers."
Among the sponsors of the advertisement are George Worth, assistant professor of English, and Howard Baumgarttel, assistant professor of human relations.
Prof. Worth said:
"The campaign for Amendment No. 3 is being waged in a rather unfair manner. Irrelevant and misleading statements are being used by its advocates."
Friday, Oct. 31, 1958
"This is one of a variety of efforts
by reactionary and conservative people to diminish the power of organized labor," Prof. Baumgartel said.
Other faculty members who oppose the amendment are:
Charles H. Oldfather, professor of law; Elliot C. Dick, assistant professor of bacteriology; J. Eldon Fields, associate professor of political science; Edward Grier, associate professor of English; John G. Grumm, assistant professor of political science.
Don Hopson Jr., assistant professor of law; Paul E. Wilson, associate professor of law; Clifford Ketzel, assistant professor of political science; Roy Laird, assistant professor of political science; Edward Nelson, professor of economics.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS
56th Year, No. 36
Sen. McDowell said the Democrats have gotten more money appropriated for education in the last two years than in any two-year period in the history of Kansas.
"This is not unusual, of course, because all states are spending more money for education," Sen McDowell continued. "But this proves the Democrats are doing the job."
50 Hear Senators Split on Docking's Education Policy
Sen. Hults said Gov. Docking cannot take credit for any progress in education because it has been the foresight of Republican governors
Two state senators disagreed on Gov. George Docking's attitude toward aid to education last night at a Campus Forum in the Kansas Union Ballroom attended by a small assembly of 50 persons.
Partly cloudy north and west, considerable cloudiness southeast tonight and tomorrow. A little warmer northwest over state to-morrow.
Democratic Sen. Joseph McDowell, Kansas City, Kan., and Republican Sen. Donald C. Hults, Lawrence, spoke as part of the Political Emphasis Week program. Chancelor Franklin D. Murphy was moderator.
"Gov. Docking is not opposed to education," McDowell said. "He's read some books himself. But he is insistent that the state get full value from each dollar spent for education."

Halloween should pass KU this year with a gentle rustling of leaves, some trick-or-treating and a few scattered, informal parties.
Halloween Not Like Old Days

Student apathy toward Halloween has not appeared because youth of today are "a listless, unimaginative bunch" or influenced by the stoicalness of the Beat Generation.

Enchanted Evening Saved by Cider
By Martha Pearse
Strangest thing happened to me last night. I was quietly charging down the campus on my 5-gaited pogo stick when I ran out of gas in front of the Kansas Union.
I hitched my steed to the sturdy canopy and went in to call the local AAA for a free tow job. When I stepped inside the door I was trampled by a flock of Salem witches or some such thing. At first I passed it off as another campus joke, but as I peeked out of my hiding place in the outgoing campus mail box, I saw more and more of the grotesque creatures.
I figured they must be having their annual voodoo meeting on the eve of their once-a-year-day. I followed them upstairs into a big dimly lit room. There was a chant—or some sort of mystic mumble.
