6 Of 10 Say Bomb Issue Won't Change Vote
The H-Bomb will have little or no effect on todays election. This is the opinion shared by six of ten students asked the question, "What effect will the H-bomb issue, as phrased by the Democratic party, have on todays election?"
party have on todays election
the following comments were made. Clarence Adamson, Lawrence sophomore—"They are making a big issue of it but I don't really think it will affect the election."
Three students said it would hurt the Democratic chances of winning and one said it would have more effect on women voters.
George Thomas, Merriam graduate student — "I don't think it will affect the election."
Gary Herbel. Hillsboro senior—"I believe it was injected into the campaign as a last ditch measure to stem the overwhelming tide of President Eisenhower's popularity. Ratiocinating people will
discern the infeasibility of this quixotic scheme, and will rebuke the idle chatterer at the polls."
Wayne Bates, Valley Falls graduate student—"I don't really think it will have any effect on the election."
Leander Lohrenz, Wichita graduate student-"Although this might win some votes for Mr. Stevenson, it will not be enough to affect the outcome. I feel that there are enough politically sophisticated people who realize that this is only a pseudo issue, which the Democrats have devised as a desperation measure."
Clarence Buller, Peabody senior— "I don't believe it will affect the election because it is too broad an issue."
The gubernatorial race in Kansas will be extremely close with no real favorite right up to today.
Split On Shaw-Docking Race
Sentiment was equally divided out of a group of 10 students selected at random. Five thought Mr.Shaw would win and the other five gave their nod to Mr.Docking.
This was indicated in a Daily Kansan poll. The question was whether a recent poll taken by the Hutchinson News-Herald which showed Democrat George Docking would win over Republican Warren Shaw was a true indication of the results of the election for governor next week.
Here are the answers:
Ruth Milam, Merriam freshman—"Shaw is going to sweep the state. Kansas will vote Republican all the way. There is no reason for any change now."
Rex Ressler, Wellington freshman — "Kansas is a Republican state and the state will not change overnight and go Democratic. The Republican tradition is too well instilled in Kansas."
Lance Johnson, Wymore, Neb. freshman—"Shaw will win over whelmingly. He has tremendous state-wide organization and will carry this part of the state very convincingly."
Brad Sheafer, Topeka sophomore —"I think Shaw will win by a 7-5 margin because on election day a large part of the Hall faction will 'bury the hatchet' and vote Republican. Shaw is running a much more active campaign than people think."
Creta Carter, Lawrence sophmore—"The poll could be a good indication. The farmers are in a state of unrest so this could be the Democrats' year."
Myron Margolis, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore—"The state could very well swing to the Democratic party. It's about time they did. If they ever want to win, this is the year to do it."
Jean Meredith. Burlingame freshman—There is a very good chance Docking will carry the state. He is a very capable man and many people, including some Republicans, respect him greatly."
Joan Eubank, Fratt sophomore "This will be an extremely close race and I think Shaw will carry it. He has the better overall organization."
Calvin Gower, Grand Junction,
Colo., graduate student—"I think it is very possible that the Democrats can win because of the split in the Republican ranks. It will be an extremely close race."
James Janzen, Hillsboro freshman—"It will definitely have a bearing on the election. I think the Democrats will lose votes because of it."
Ronald Baker, Bonner Springs junior—"There is very good possibility that Docking will win. The Democratic strength in Kansas is way up and if they don't win this year they never will."
Requirements for graduation weren't always the problem they are today, especially for KU students around the turn of the century. Grandfather cast aspersions about the easy life of today's college student, but if he attended KU about 1903 he had a total of three required subjects for graduation.
Rhetoric, hygiene, and physical education were required. All other classes were electives. Freshmen and sophomores had usually taken care of their requirements in high school.
Granddad Had It Softer
College life wasn't that simple in 1866. That year the catalog prescribed a course which included the classics, mathematics, and philosophy. One option was allowed, a choice between botany and Greek.
Robert Blankenship, Valley Falls sophomore—"I think if it has any effect it will be in favor of President Eisenhower."
Analytical mathematics was the chief complaint of most students. One student in theology complained that "its influence on his morals was very bad," since his mind dwelt on "bad words" while working on his mathematics.
The first elective system came in 1880, when some juniors and seniors could choose two electives—if they petitioned the faculty in writing. Fifteen years later juniors and seniors could take almost anything as long as they had no more than four courses from one instructor.
Keith Ashcraft, Hillsboro sophomore—"I think it will hurt Mr. Stevenson's chances because it isn't feasible to stop the testing at this time."
Robert Meyers, Topeka sophomore — "I think it will have more effect on the women voters."
Music Program Well Received
The music of Beethoven, Schuamm, Mendelssohn, and Massenet received fresh interpretation from five University music students in an honor recital Monday night in Strong Auditorium.
The first of the five to appear was Alan Harris, Lawrence junior, and a cello student of Raymond Stuhl, associate professor of cello. Harris played the "Sonata in G Minor," by Eccles.
The other cellist, Sue Gewinner, Webster Groves, Mo., senior, also a pupil of Prof. Stuhl, performed "Concerto in A Minor, Op. 129" by Schumann.
Both cellists demonstrated the remarkable talent that led to their appearance in this biennial recital.
Sara Jane Hopkins, Boonville, Mo., sophomore, playing Beethoven's "Sonata, Op. 53, 'Waldstein' showed depth and feeling in her tonal interpretation of the work.
The counter-rhythm phrases were manipulated with skill, and trills and turns had precision and delicacy that was particularly pleasing. Miss Hopkins is a pupil of Mrs. Angelcia Morales von Sauer.
Bonnie Dinsmore, Oklahoma City, and Jack Davison, Bolivar, Mo., juniors, students of Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice, closed the program with the scene from Act III of Massenet's "Thais" and three duets by Mendelssohn. The three Mendelssohn numbers were done in light-hearted and romantic style. Miss Dismore's soft tenons provided a pleasant contrast to the deep bass quality of Davson's voice.
