Castro Supporter To Speak Here
Edward Shaw, the Mid-West representative of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, will visit KU tomorrow and Friday to speak in favor of the Castro regime.
He will speak at the Minority Opinions Forum at 4 p.m. Friday in the Music Room of the Kansas Union and at noon Friday in the English Room of the Kansas Union. Reservations for the luncheon talk may be made by calling 227.
Larry Leaudan, Kansas City sophomore and student coordinator of the Minority Opinions Forum, said Mr. Shaw's talk would be on the American press and the American Government's refusal to give the American people the truth about what is happening in Cuba. The talk will include a general defense of the Castro regime.
Laudan said Mr. Shaw visited Cuba many times during the Batista regime and has visited it three times since Castro came to power.
Farm Income UD
NEWARK, Del. — (UPI) - Total agricultural income for Delaware in 1950 was expected to be up as much as 10 per cent over 1959, according to current estimates, said W. T. McAllister, extension economist at the University of Delaware.
Most of the Delaware gains were accounted for by a good year for poultrymen. Broilers, eggs and turkeys all showed good returns when compared with 1959, McAllister said.
Collector's Item
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. —(UPI)—Contractor Warren F. Wedekind was remodeling an office building when an old brass letter opener fell out of a wall. The opener was inscribed "Frank F. Wedekind Co., Surgical Appliance Makers, San Francisco."
"The letter opener must have been there 50 years," said Wedekind. "Father went out of business in 1918."
Unconditional surrender in World War II, occupation by allied forces and the eventual economic recovery of Western Germany produced a dramatic change in German literature, a visiting assistant professor of German told the Humanities Forum audience last night.
Speaker Discusses German Writers
THE POST-WAR generation of German writers, said Michael Scherer, writes with the atmosphere of the "beat generation" and presents "the poetry of unconditional surrender." This atmosphere is revealed, he said, by the short, laconic style used by these writers and by their tendency to write short stories, as opposed to longer novels.
"The democratic freedom of writing in Western Germany, he said.
gave these writers an excellent opportunity to criticize a society which was about to forget the past."
THE MAIN TARGET of their criticism, he said, is the German post-war atmosphere which is a combination of "fear of atomic war and the pleasurable pursuit of money-making."
Current German poets also reflect the post-war atmosphere, he said. The modern German poet finds himself "alienated from nature"; things of nature no longer symbolize an inner state of mind to the modern poet as they did to the former Romantic poets. Instead, the modern poet views things of nature as "messages coming from the outside."
Spanish Students Present Short Play
Students in Spanish 2L will present a short play in 11 Fraser Hall today at 4 p.m. at the Club Ateneo. The play, to be given in Spanish, is drawn from one of the readings in the course.
