Hall's Effect On Gubernatorial Race Is Difficult To Predict
Three political science faculty members were reluctant Tuesday to predict just what the entry of former Gov. Fred Hall into the Republican race for governor would mean in the general elections in November.
Chester A. Newland, assistant instructor of political science, said Hall's entry will "stir up a great deal of interest in the election."
Could Be Exciting
Newland added he was sure Hall would try to unite the Republican party.
"If the Republican primary doesn't turn into a lot of name calling. Hall's entering the race will be a healthy thing," Newland stated.
"Thus far the Republican party's campaign hasn't gotten off the ground. This may be just what it needs." Newland added.
Newland pointed out that this would make a very exciting primary and possibly a very exciting general election.
"As to what this will mean in the general election, I don't know," he added.
James E. Titus, assistant professor of political science, said Hall's announcement is sure to "muddy the waters" in the Republican primary.
Asked if he thought it was possible for the candidates to conduct a campaign free of name calling.
Derby Day Set For April 26
A sack race, an egg-throwing relay, and several other events are on the agenda for the fifth annual Sigma Chi Derby Day track meet for women in organized houses. The Sigma Chi Derby Day band will open the meet at 1:30 p.m. April 26 at the fraternity's tennis court, and an "eternal smudge pot" will be lighted. Four hundred persons are expected to attend.
Lines Are Drawn
Prof. Titus said he thought that was "hardly possible in Kansas."
"One thing seems evident. The lines are drawing. With Hall's entrance into the governor's race, we may be getting closer to a 2-party battle in Kansas," Prof. Titus said. He explained that with the lines clearly dividing the two candidates, there was a better chance for an even election in November.
Auditions will be held April 26, May 3 and 10, for students wanting to participate in the KU Summer Theatre program, beginning June 9.
Theater Tryouts To Be Held
For further information and to arrange appointments for auditions, students should contact Prof. Goff at 315 Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
The auditions, which consist of a 10-minute presentation of drama previously prepared, are to be judged by Lewin Goff, associate professor of speech and drama and director of the KU Theatre, and members of the Summer Theatre staff.
"On the basis of these auditions, the casting for some of the productions also will be done. This will enable the students to begin reading for the plays immediately." Prof. Brooking said.
Students enrolled in the summer session will be able to carry a maximum of 10 credit hours.
Burzle Presents Paper
J. A. Burzle, chairman of the Germanic languages department, spoke today at the American Personnel and Guidance Association meeting in St. Louis. He presented a paper on "U. S. Students and Foreign Study Opportunities."
Prof. Titus added that Hall had shown great strength west of highway 81.
Walter E. Sandelius, professor of political science, said it would be hard to predict how Hall's entrance will affect the general election in November for two reasons.
First, he said, was because it wasn't clear at the present time what factions of the Republican party are supporting which candidate. Second, he said, the outcome would depend on who won the Republican primary.
Young Demos Go To Topeka
